WWE Smackdown 9/5/25 Review | AJ LEE RETURNS And Brock Lesnar SPOILS Cena's Chicago Farewell! · Solomonster Sounds Off

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I hate. I hate when they interrupt
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: my commercials with some of this wrestling crap. I don't
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: like that. Thankfully, we had plenty of commercials on tonight's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: show to outnumber all the minutes of wrestling that we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: actually got, so we were in good shape. Wrestle Pollouse.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We had commercial palooza here tonight. How terrified must they
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: have been to format the show in the way that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: they did. They were so terrified of running out of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: time at the end of the show for the aj
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Lee closing segment that just the way they formatted the show.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I cannot remember an episode, honestly of SmackDown or of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: WWE television that was this bad when it came to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the number of commercials and just the things they were
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: interrupting at various points in the show, especially in that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: opening match that we had after the opening segment. But
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: my god, in between all of those commercials, though, were
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a couple of great segments and some not so great segments.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately we had that as well, actually very forgettable segments.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But what everybody was talking about coming into this show
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: here tonight was the return of aj Lee actually going
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to happen. There were people who didn't believe. I'll believe
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it when I see it, right. I mean, in ten years.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: This woman hasn't been back on television in ten years.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: She doesn't want to come back. If she wanted to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: come back, she would have been at Evolution. If she
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to come back, she would have been in the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Royal Rumble one of these years. Leave her alone. She's done,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: she's retired. But anybody who's been watching the television shows
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: over the last week or two, it was plain as
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: day this could only be leading to one possible outcome.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Anything else would be a disappointment. Nwwe knew that, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they would have to be fucking idiots to set it
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: up any other way. And so even on Monday night,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: when CM Punk said to Adam Pierce, We're SmackDown on Friday,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Adam Peers had to remind him that SmackDown was in Chicago.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He said, tremendous, And you knew at that point what
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they were setting up for. They had a packed house
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in Chicago with the All State Arena, tod had over
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: sixteen thousand people chanting this woman's name. Long before she
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: even came out to the ring, they were chanting her
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: name on Monday as well, and the way they set
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: things up here at the end, we had seth Rollins
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and Becky Lane. If we don't get enough seth Rollins.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: On Mondays, we had Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. CM
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Punk was in Chicago and it was all to build
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to the return of his wife, the former Divas Champion
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty fifteen, back on TV.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: A j Lee is back and in Chicago, of all places.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It was the perfect setting for something like this to happen.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: This was like her first dance. Remember Punk got that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: at the United Center. This was like her first dance.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: She came out, thankfully, no Deaf Rebel special yet, but
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: she came out. She got a monstrous, just insane reaction
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: from the crowd in Chicago, looking great, not looking all
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that different from the way that she walked out in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Skipping on down to the ring, Becky Lynch
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: selling this like she just saw a fucking ghost and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: aj Lee getting in the ring, mixing it up with
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Becky Lynch setting things in motion for what we know
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is coming at wrestled Palozo, although not yet announced, a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: mixed tag team match with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: taking on CM Punk and aj Lee a perfect attraction
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for that show. And I don't know how long she's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: going to stick around for I would think it's more
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: than just a one off. But even if it was
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just a one off, this was the perfect scenario for
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: her to come back. And you know, as far as
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: what tempted her to finally come back after all this time,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: because Punk has been asked about this in interviews and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: podcasts over the years, when's aj coming back? When's your
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: wife gonna come back? And he's always you know, clearly
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he he wanted her to come back, but always gave
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the same basic answer, where it's up to her. It's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not my call to make. It's up to her if
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: she wants to come back, if she wants to get
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: back involved, she'll be back, and if not, then she won't.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But you wonder if it's not money and it's not fame,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and it's not the allure of coming back, but it
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: could just be a simple situation where she gets to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: work with her husband on TV. It could just be
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: as simple as that, And for both of them, I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: sure this is just the most desirable position to be
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in here because now they get to work together on
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: TV and have fun. And that's what that closing segment was.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: That closing segment was a lot of fun. They gave
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: people the happy ending that they were hoping for. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: worst kept secret in wrestling. Absolutely, but you know, for
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the people who were gonna say, man, I wish they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: would have kept it a secret, they couldn't. There was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: no way. The fans were chanting this woman's name for
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: over a week. The fans were willing it into existence.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You would have to be an absolute moron to not
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: have aj Lee on the brain, either because the fans
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have been chanting her name and they've acknowledged it on TV,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: or just simple common sense. The way this story was building,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it was inevitable, but it didn't take away from the moment.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You listen to that reaction that pop when her music
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: hit and she walked out. It didn't take away from
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the reaction at all. And that will go down as
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: one of the more memorable segments in SmackDown history. Now,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: also on this show, speaking of memorable moments, John Cena
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: has made some memorable moments In Chicago. John Cena has
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: made some memorable moments in that very building that they
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: were in tonight, and this was it for him. This
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was not only his final hurrah in Chicago, but he
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: confirmed that this was his last SmackDown, which kind of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: gives away some of the names he won't be working
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with in the few matches he has left and in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: his final match, which is coming up in December. A
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Thudrew McIntyre would make for a good opponent for him
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in one of these upcoming matches, and that doesn't look
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: likely at this point, because how are you going to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: do that If this guy isn't even going to appear
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on SmackDown. Doesn't mean that they can't still have him
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: wrestle someone from SmackDown, but if Seen is not going
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to be on the show, it just makes it difficult.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So this was it for him tonight. You talk about
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: going out there and getting a reaction. Punk got a reaction.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Aj Lee got a reaction, John Cena got a reaction,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Sammy Zain got a reaction that was not the reaction
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I was expecting. We'll talk about that, But the John
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Cena stuff at the beginning of the show set up
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: an impromptu match. We don't get these very often from
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: him on TV, he actually wrestled, and not only did
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he wrestle tonight, he wrestled for a championship. We had
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: not one, but two United States Championship matches on this
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: show in Chicago tonight that we will be talking about.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And the John Cena stuff, including the match that he
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: had with Sammy Zain, were the best part to the show.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Opening segment or opening match, slash segment, and the closing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: segment that was it. That was SmackDown tonight. Everything else
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the middle just felt completely inconsequential, and the commercials
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: didn't help. I mean, they really did just butcher almost
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the entire show, and I understand they can't be avoided,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: but my god, it was as bad as it's ever been.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Everything in the middle. And we'll talk about the other
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: US title match as well on the women's side, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: what a shame that whole situation is right now, But
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there was really nothing else on this show that anybody
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is going to be talking about outside of aj Lee
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and John Cena. Those are the two key things right there.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that as well as brock Lesner,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: who also made an impromptu appearance on the show tonight
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and ruined what was a great United States Championship match.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: This is your Friday Night SmackDown review for Friday, September fifth,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I'm the Solomonster. Thank you guys for
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: joining me here on a Friday night, always the best
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: way to end the week. First, Michael Cole and Corey
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Graves were the ones to open up the show, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Cole said that they would be the new SmackDown Announced
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: team for the coming months, so they are now on
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Friday nights. I would assume that means Joe Tessitur and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Wade Barrett are moving over to Mondays, and that it
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: has to do with Joe's college football commitments because he's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to be doing college football every
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Saturday at least, and maybe there's some Friday night games.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know about Fridays, but I would imagine that's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: why they've made this change, and when that season comes
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to an end, things will likely go back to the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: way they were, but Cole and Corey will be on
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Friday nights now, so just be aware of that. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: after highlights from Clash in Paris last weekend, John Cena
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: opened up the show for the final time here in Chicago,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the very city, not only the very city, the very
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: building where he debuted on this very show twenty three
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: years ago when he walked out, he came to the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: ring to confront Kurt Angle and he talked about ruthless aggression.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And here we are now, twenty three years later. He's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he's a young what is he forty eight young? Forty
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: eight years old now? So a monster reaction for Sina
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: when he came out here and he took the time
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to absorb all the chance, like it looked like when
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you look at him, especially tonight on the show, like
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: even when he initially walked out, like he's he's like
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he's taking a snapshot in his mind because I'm sure
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: like some of these cities more than others, Like it
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: does mean how could it not mean something to you?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Look at the career this guy had in this company.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Look at all the shit that he has done right
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and all everything they put on his shoulders and they
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: made him the guy in all the different matches that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he's had and the injuries and that goes with having
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a long run on top the way that he did.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It's got to mean something because now he knows like
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: he's only got like a little over half a dozen
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: appearances left and even less than that when it comes
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to actual matches. Things are winding down. They just announced
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: today now his final Madison Square Garden appearance, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: coming up on November seventeenth, his final Boston appearance, which
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: will not be his retirement match, because that was the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: belief that they were going to be doing that last
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night's main event in December in Boston, and that
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: is not the case that show. It sounds like that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: show is going to be in DC and not in Boston,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: so that was interesting. So anyway, he's taking the time
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to really absorb it and try to enjoy it when
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: he comes out, and he thanked the crowd for their kindness.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He recalled when his farewell tour first began and people
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: told him to enjoy it and have fun, and he
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: said he was coming off a lot of bad years
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and he needed to get his mojo back, and he
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: focused on leaving everything he had in the ring to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: prove to himself that he can still do it. He
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: said tonight, he had no plan. He came out here
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: with no plans on what he was going to do.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: No plans on what he was going to say. He's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: going to wing it, and so that's why he was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: here tonight. Wanted to take it all in and have fun.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He said, what makes tonight special is looking out into
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the crowd and seeing people excited. One years ago he
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: might have heard something a little bit different, maybe some
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: f you seen a chance seeing it. Told the crowd
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they were in for an exciting night, and he reminded
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: them that this was his last time here in Chicago
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and his last appearance ever on SmackDown. Scena recalled twenty
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: years ago walking to the ring on SmackDown and smacking
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Kurd Angle in the face and how it all started
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this crazy ride. He recalled his favorite memories from Chicago,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: including wrestling Triple H that would have been at WrestleMania
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: twenty two. He also recalled wrestling CM Punk and Punk
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: winning the WWE Championship from him and then taking the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: title and putting it in his refrigerator, and that kicked
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: off the summer of Punk in twenty eleven. So the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: crowd begins to chant thank you, Sina Seena, thank them again.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He wished them a great night. He was ready to
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: go leave that was gonna be it before he could
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: leave the ring. Though Sammy Zain's music hits his music
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: interrupted Sena. Sammy comes out the brand new United States Champion.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I just realized no MFTs on the show tonight.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: One of the things I liked about the show tonight,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: no MFTs. We didn't have Solo Soca and Jacob or
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: not Jacob. I wish we had Jacob Solo Socoa and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Talatonga and j C. Matteo and the great Tongdaloa nowhere
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to be found on the show tonight. It's nice, we've
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: been getting a lot of the MFTs. It's okay to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: get him off TV for a week or two or six.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: But Sammy's Ain comes out, brand new United States Champion,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and you hear booze from the crowd. Now, at first,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: when they hit his music, that's when the booze started.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But I didn't think it was booze necessarily. I thought
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they were like at the beginning of his music, it's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: almost like the crowd's building up, building up, and then
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it's like, let's go. So that's what I thought it was.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: A boy, was I wrong? Sammy's a and he comes
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: down to the ring and you hear the booze. The
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: people are booing him, and I have no idea where
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: this came from. It's not as if Sammy has been
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: dealing with some booze in certain cities. In certain places,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Sammy is a babyface. Sammy is is beloved by the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: WWE crowds. It's not even even Cody in some places
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: was getting some booze. You don't really hear that with Sammy.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm watching this and I know it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Sit Cago and I mean, whatever the hell that means.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, it's New York. It's like, what the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: fuck does that mean? I heard people say that sometimes,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: but I guess you just never know how they're gonna react.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I was not expecting this. This was like, Wow, I
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: don't know where this came from. But okay, he interrupted Cena.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But Sina was about to leave, So why boot? Why
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: boot the man? I don't know. Sina said that it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: was happy hour in Chicago and he was there for
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the booze. Look at this, John Cena, if you could
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: believe it, John Cena with a Duff's VIDs joke, He's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: there for the booze. He said, funny, Sammy thanks Sena
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: on behalf of the locker room for everything that he's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: done for them and everything that he has done for
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: him personally. He recalled making his debut against Sena for
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the United States Championship, and I remember that as well.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I remember that Brett Hart was there that night, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I remember that Brett Hart actually introduced Sammy z Ain
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to the ring. This is when Sina was doing the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: US Title Open Challenge ten years ago. Funny enough, the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: same year that aj Lee last made her appearance, Brett
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Hart was there. They were in Canada. I believe Sammy's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Ain came out and he was all hyped up. This
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: was the night that Sammy he gets on the ring
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: steps and he's flailing his arms around so hard that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he tore his fucking rotator cuff. And still, like, I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: think back to that, and I'm like, what must have
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: been going through this man's head, Like, imagine you're in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Sammy z Ain's position at that exact moment, and you're
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: about to get one of the biggest opportunities of your life. Right,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You're on live television. You're about to wrestle John Cena.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: First night on Raw Brett Hart just introduced you You're
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: in Canada, and you're like, oh shit, because you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you have to know instantly that something is wrong. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I remember, like I think, he relayed to Brett what
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: had happened, and Brett went over to Scena to tell Sena.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But he wrestled the match, and from what I recall,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: they had a really good match. So that actually was
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a very memorable I guess for him bittersweet, but it
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: actually was a very memorable night, even though it's like,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't recall everything that happened ten years ago,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but there are certain moments that are unforgettable. Flailing your
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: arms around and injuring yourself I would say qualifies as
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: one of those moments. But he said, also what the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: John Cena US Title Open Challenge rather did for him
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and others to get an opportunity. Sammy told Sena that
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: with his permission, he would like to recreate his own
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: US Title Open Challenge for the same reason, and Sina said,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he thinks that's a great idea. So Sina went to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: go leave and Sammy stopped him and said, you offer
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: him the same opportunity that he gave Sammy ten years ago.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Sammy said that he had one foot in the door
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: ten years ago, and he wanted to offer him the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: same now that he had one foot out the door.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Sammy said, We're not going to do it a month
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: from now. We're not going to do it next week.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: He wanted to do it right now. Now. He gets
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: cheered by the Chicago fan. Now they love him because
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of course they want the match tonight. Sena told him
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you're on, and he called for a referee to come
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: out to the ring and they went to a break.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: This was a great segment. This was a great segment.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Sina seemed genuinely moved by the reaction. It felt special
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: because again, it is his last SmackDown. I didn't know
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that it was his last SmackDown. I knew it was
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: his last appearance in Chicago as an active performer. That
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I knew. I did not know that tonight was going
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to be his last SmackDown. So when he said that,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that caught me off guard. So it was a special
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: segment in that way. I like the interaction with him
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and Sammy. Again, I don't know what was up with
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the crowd other than just it was a very pro
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: John Cena crowd, and obviously during their match they wanted
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to see Sina win and win the championship, so I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: can understand them booing Sammy, you know, even in the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: course of the match maybe, but the reaction to Sammy
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: when he initially came out that I was not expecting.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And as far as him reviving the open challenge, I mean, look,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I've made my comments clear in the past. We went
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: through this period. It's actually calmed down recently, which is nice,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but we went through this period not that long ago
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: in the two companies WWE and AW, and especially in AW,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like where we were getting open challenges every
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: single week, and it's not like they've all gone away,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but it was happening so often, and it felt like
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it was just being used as a lazy crutch by
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: people who didn't know what to do with the Intercontinental
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: title or the TNT, the US title, whatever it would be,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and so we'll just do open challenges with all the championships.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And it's like, what a lazy fucking thing to do,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: taking that concept and just beating it into the ground,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and it just it was too much. I'm fine with
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: an open challenge here and there, but like it just
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: became too much. So it's kind of died down a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: little bit. And and here I don't mind it just
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: because he clearly he told John Cena, look, I love
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: when you did the US Title Open Challenge ten years ago,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and with your permission, I'd like to just recreate that myself,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you know, basically asking for Seenea his blessing, and Scena
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: gave him his blessing. So I don't mind it so much.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's still, yeah, I wish they could come
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: up with a solid story for him with that championship.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe out of one of these open challenges something will
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: come out of it. But I like that aspect that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: they at least drew parallels to the one because the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: one Sena did was fantastic, you know, ten years ago.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And again we'll see what happens is as far as
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: seen his remaining opponents once he gets beyond brock Lesner.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Because Drew McIntyre was on my personal short list of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: people that I think would have made for a great
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: opponent or a challenger for him, it could still happen.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I just think it makes it a hell of a
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: lot less likely given that McIntyre is on SmackDown, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: if Scene is not going to be making any television
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: appearances on SmackDown, that doesn't excite me. You know, him
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: being promoted for a match against somebody that he's not
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: going to be on TV to help promote, I think
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: is a poor use of John Cena. So they may
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: have just closed the door on a possible John Cena
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre match. On the other hand, if Gunther is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: back in the next couple of months, they could still
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: do Sena and Gunther right because Gunther's on Raw. AJ
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Styles is on Raw, so I mean they have options
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on Monday Night. That would be fine if that's the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: direction they wanted to go in. But we had John
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Cena against Sammy's Ain. This was a United States Championship
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: match here as part of the Open Challenge, and the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: crowd was amped up for this match, pro John Cena
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: all the way, very much anti Sammy z Ain. They
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to see John Cena win that US title. The
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: match was joined already in progress as Sena and Sammy
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: locked up in the middle of the ring. Sammy attempted
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a springboard leap frog early on. It didn't go the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: way he wanted it. To but he hit a closed
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: line anyway, Sammy whip seen A Herd into the corner,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: which got more booze from the crowd. Seena then threw
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Sammy with a hard Irish whip that sent him flying
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: into the corner and it was back to another commercial.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Picture in picture. This was not even five or six
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: minutes since the last one and they were already into
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: another commercial that they returned with Sammy being hoisted up
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: by Sea for an attitude adjustment attempt. Champion escaped seeing
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it turned Sammy's attempt at a springboard move into an attitude adjustment.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: He could not pick up the three count As Seena recovered,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Sammy tried to hit an exploder that got countered into
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a Kevin Owens style pop up power bomb by Sina.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Sammy's aying then missed the halluva kick after he recovered,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and Sena caught him with an angle slam in slow motion.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: This was the slowest angle slam that you will ever see.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: But he hit an angle slam, which, according to Michael Cole,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: was a back suplex and I watched this and I go,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that is definitely not a back suplex quote unquote, that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: is an angle slam, and I have no idea how
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: this was lost on Michael Cole because he just called
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: it like any other move. And Cole is usually on
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: point with stuff. I mean, he's been there long enough,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: he's been there for all seen his career. He was
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: probably calling SmackDown that night when he debuted against kurd Angle.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it was lost on him that
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: not only was it a Angle slam, but it was tied
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: into the fact that in this building, in this city,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: in his SmackDown debut, John Cena wrestled kurd Angle. Somehow
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: he missed that. Thankfully Corey he didn't, and so Corey
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: did mention that, but yeah, I don't. I don't know
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: how Cole missed that point. So both men traded strikes
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: until we got a double clothesline into a double down,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and that took us into another picture and picture break.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing about this match. As much as
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I love this match, they absolutely butchered this match with commercials.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And my bad, Okay, it's my own fault because I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: have been using my Express VPN for all of these
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: international shows the last few weeks, and the thought never
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: occurred to me to use it for this show tonight.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I was using it because I wanted to watch the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: shows early or I you know, I should have been.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: People were like, you should be watching it on Netflix
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with the VPN. You're absolutely right. I fucked up, But
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: nonetheless it was still quite ridiculous, and especially in the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: middle of this match. And this is why when they
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: announced that Saturday Night's main event was no longer being
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: aired on NBC, I said, that's a great thing, because
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: if John Cena is going to be wrestling his retirement match,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: imagine this was his retirement match and they go to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: break every three minutes. If they would have had his
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: retirement match on NBC in December, it would have been
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: an absolute fucking disaster. At least now it'll be streaming
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: on Peacock and we should not have these these mid
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: match interruptions in this way. So that show no longer
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: being on NBC is a great thing, and this is why.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: So during the commercial break, I should mention the first
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: commercial break early that they took. Sammy hit a blue
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: thunderbomb that got a near fall. Sina got a curd
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: angle ankle lock applied. During this commercial break, Sammy kicked
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: free Scena, though got the STFU apply. I'm watching in
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the little box here, Sena got the STFU applied, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: then Sammy worked his way towards the ropes. Sena drags
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: him back to the center of the ring. I mean,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: we've seen that spot a thousand times, but it made
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: me think of the match with Punk in Chicago. Money
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in the bank, he got Sena in the or he
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: got Punk rather in the STF Punk is inching towards
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the ropes. Scena pulls him back to the center of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the ring, and I remember the crowd. Never forget the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: crowd for that match was just absolutely out of their minds.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: That's what makes that match so special. I mean, that's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a five star match, and so they did that spot
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: here and you can see that the people are losing
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: their minds. But you can't hear a fucking thing. You
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: can't hear anything. I hear a fucking pizza Hut commercial
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: is what I hear. So it would have been to hear,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: you know, ask Sammy is struggling not to tap out.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But you didn't hear anything, unless, of course you're watching
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: this either internationally or with a VPN, But otherwise we
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: didn't get the sounds of this. We didn't get the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: audio here. When they came back full screen, they replayed
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: what had happened, and the replay was then interrupted by
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Sammy hitting the halluva kick. Sena, though kicked out, Sina
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: managed to then catch Sammy with a go to sleep
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: here in Chicago, so you can imagine the reaction that
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: got covered him. Sammy kicks out. Sammy's ain't kicked that
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: out of a lot of big moves here in this match.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He went full Supersena in this match. So in the corner,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Sena was sizing up Sammy and he motioned for him
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to get up, and he's clearly paying homage to one
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of his all time great rivals, in my opinion, his
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: second greatest rival behind Cmpunk, which is Edge. And you know,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: because he's doing the edge motion, he's losing his mind.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He's freaking out. He's bouncing up and down in the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: corner and then he comes out and he hits a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: spear and Sammy kicks out. This led to Michael Cole
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: mentioning seen as past battles with the Big Dog Roman
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: reigns like, are you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: kidding me? Now it's possible that Michael Cole was was
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: just out to lunch on this show tonight. Otherwise, how
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: petty can you be that you cannot even mention edge
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Like we just saw clash in Paris. We got a Claudio,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: we got a sosorrow mention. Okay, you mean to tell
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: me that you can't say edge or that Cole didn't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: pick up on him doing the edge mannerisms because again
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he was going through's cycling through some of his greatest opponents,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Kevin Owens with the pop up power bomb right see,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I'm punk with the goat to sleep, Edge with the spear.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Sina had two matches I think in his entire career
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: with Roman Reigns. One of them, the first one wasn't
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: really anything special, and the second one was even worse.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: That was at Summerslim a few years ago. There's not
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: some classic rivalry or feud okay between John Cena and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Roman Reigns. But nevertheless Michael Cole either didn't pick up
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: on it or you're not allowed to say not allowed
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to say the unmentionable word. So the fans picked up
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: on Sina stealing moves from his past rivals. They started
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: chanting RKO, can we get an RKO next? And so
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Sena attempted one, Sammy avoided it. They ended up on
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the ropes where Sena delivered an avalanche attitude adjustment. He
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: tossed Sammy halfway across the ring. And so now both
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: men are down and I'm waiting because when they do
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: this spot both men are down, it's late in the match.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, obviously something is about to fuck up
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: this great match that we are in the middle of
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: watching here because neither man can be beat. So what's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: about to happen? Well, what's about to happen is what
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you would expect. You hear damn my terrible sound effect,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and that is the cue for Brock Lesner to come
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: back out. How nice to see Brock. After we saw
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: him at SummerSlam a month ago, he was back on television.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Here tonight Brock walks out, cowboy hat on his head
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and he takes his time coming down to the ring.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I guess they added Chicago at the last minute to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: his schedule. He was supposed to be in Norfolk next week,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: which he will be, and then wherever the hell SmackDown
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: is on the nineteenth that's the go home show to
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Wrestle Palooza. But I guess they added Chicago here as
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a late edition. He dragged, literally drags the referee out
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: of the ring, yanks him out of the ref or
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: out of the ring, and he fucking crashes on the ground.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Down below scene it gets or Brock rather gets in
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the ring. He picks up Samby's ay and he delivers
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: an F five. Then he picks up John Cena and
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: he delivers an F five. Then he picks John Cena
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: back up again and he delivers another F five for
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: good measure. And he looked quite pleased with himself before
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: he left. Now, after a break, they showed Lesner in
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the back walking through Gorilla and we got to actually
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: hear from Brock very briefly. Did we get an explanation
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: here for why he has targeted John Cena? Nope. He
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: looked into the camera. He said, John Cena, see you
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: at wressell Palooza. Bitch. This fucking guy is stealing Ocatta's gimmick. Now,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: now I know what he's been doing this entire time
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that he's been off. He's been exposed. I'll bet your
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: shocked to find out that brock Lesner has been sitting
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: at home with his HBO Max subscription watching aw Dynamite
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and Collision every single week. He's been taking notes about
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Ocatta's promo. You know what, I'm going to incorporate that
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: into my shit is Okatta. Guy's pretty good. That was
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: it and just and they had the graphics ready to go.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: It's like a Tony Kahn special where the graphics are
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: ready to go, just like that, as brock Lesner and
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: John Cena Wressell palouza. The match is now official for
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: September twentieth. So there you go, there's your main event.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: There he comes. We all knew the match was coming.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: We all knew that we probably were not going to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: get an explanation. It's lazy as shit, but they don't
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: give a shit because now they have a marquee attraction
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: back in Brocklesner, who By the way, the interference of
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: brock Lesner completely ruined the end of this match. The
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: match was thrown out I guess no contest after twenty
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: or twenty two minutes. However long this match went. They
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: got about twenty minutes added to the opening segment. This
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: ate up the first forty five minutes of the show,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And I think back to Clash in Paris when they
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: opened with Roman Reigns in Bronson Reid, which didn't even
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: start until fifteen minutes into the show. Then you had
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a twenty minute match, and then you had a postmatch
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: angle to beat down on Roman Reigns, the stretcher job,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: which lasted almost as long as the match itself. By
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the time they got to the second match at Clash
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: in Paris, we were into our number two. It was
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: completely ridiculous here. I didn't mind it so much that
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: they ate up most of the first hour. Right, it's television,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: so you're gonna have a mix of segments and matches
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and you know, the scenes stuff. This being his final
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: appearance there, it was a special thing. I enjoyed all
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of this up until the finish. I enjoyed all of this.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: The match itself was very good, and really the match itself,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: it wasn't even like the match was some sort of
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you know, technical marvel. That's not what these John Cena
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: matches are meant to be. The John Cena matches now
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: are just meant to be him playing the hits and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: maybe his opponent too, playing the heir I mean Logan
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Paul was stealing everyone's move But that's what Seene is doing.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: He's paying respect, he's paying homage to people that he
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: has worked with, that he has respected and admired and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: worked within the ring over the course of his entire career.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: So in Paris we got the callbacks to Cesarro and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: dob Ziggler right, just multiple and there were like two
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: other people I think too and here tonight alone, Kevin
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Owens and CM Punk and Edge and who knows who
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: else he might work and who hasn't he He hasn't
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: done a pedigree yet, has he? He hasn't incorporated Triple
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: H into his matches. Who else can John Cena incorporate
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: some of Johnsen's greatest opponent. Well, he did the styles
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: clash in Paris. I forgot about that one. And so
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: it's just it's an experience, especially for the people who
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: were there in the arenas and the buildings. But we're
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: counting down the days and he's going out there now
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and having readstling matches that are far more entertaining to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: me than any of the shit he was doing after
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: return Heel earlier this year. Although I'm not saying the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: match with Randy Orton was a bad match, and I'm
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: not saying the match at CMPUNK was a bad match.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: But now that he's back to being a babyface, he
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is able to go out there now and do certain
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: things that you wouldn't be doing if you were a heel,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and you put him in there with the right people,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Sammy Zain certainly knows how to work, and you end
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: up with what we got tonight. So I'm enjoying. You know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: what we've been getting from Sina. We got two fucking
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: banger matches from him in the month of August. He
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: just opened up September with another really good match with Brock.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to say. It's hard to say.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite matches was that first match back
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that Brock had in twenty twelve at Extreme Rules against Sina,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: because it was it was unlike any main event that
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: WWE had done at that time. It was just it
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: was different. It almost felt real. It felt like Sina
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is in like mortal danger, especially when he got opened
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: up hardway, which is just so fucking dumb. It would
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: be a lot safer to have him cut himself open
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: than have Brock lesnar fucking hard way elbowing him in
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the head. He did that with Randy Orton too, But
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: that match was it was just crazy and I love it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I love that match. The match at SummerSlam they had
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen was a very different kind of match. Obviously,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: that was also very unique, something you would never see
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: in WWE where you would have a main event start
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: doing a long squash in a pay per view main event. So, again,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: a different kind of match what we're going to get
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: between these two here in twenty twenty five. Brock has
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: not wrestled the match in over two years. Johnsen is
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: in the middle of his retirement tour, right forty eight
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: years old. His body can't go the way that used to,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: by his own admission. Now he's in there with a
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: guy who's not going to be doing the same things
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: that you know, Logan Paul was doing and Sammy Zain
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: was doing. Brock's a different kind of performer, and so
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what to expect here. I expect
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of smoke and mirrors, but there's no no
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: disqualification stipulation. It's right now, It's just a straight wrestling match.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: It's not a street fight or anything like that. So
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious what we end up getting, don't.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know that it's going to be any better
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: than some of the stuff we've gotten from them before.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: It'll be something interesting to see, for better or worse.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I just don't quite know what to expect here from
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: from these two at this point. But yeah, this match
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: here really good stuff. If you didn't see it, it's
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: definitely worth going out of your way to check it out,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: and also interesting to see what happens next week and
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the week after that and the week after that. And
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think it will. But if the reactions to
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Sammy and Chicago carry over, I'm going to assume it
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: had to do with just we're very pro Sena. You
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: came out we hate you. I don't expect that to
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: be the case in Norfolk next week. If it is
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: that in the long run, that could end up being
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: an issue, but I'm assuming that's going to be a
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: one week aberration. Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help.

  Speaker 1: com slash slo monster. Now Nick Alldis was in the back.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Nick Alldis was speed walking through the backstage area. It
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: looked like he was in a hurry, maybe trying to
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: catch up to brock Lesner, But he got interrupted by
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes. Now, of course, with all these big stars
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: walking around here on Smack Dan, you got John Cena,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: You've got brock Lesner, You've got cmpunk is in the building.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: He has no time for the Carmelo Hayes of the world,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: and he's trying to explain this to him, and Hayes
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: is like, I just I just want a minute of
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: your time. I just wanted to talk to you. He
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: was looking for a shot, right because it sounded like
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he was about to ask for a shot at the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: US title, which, by the way, I don't know why
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: he would have to ask for a shot at the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: US title now that there's a fucking open challenge going on,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: just just come out and accept the challenge, like Carmelo
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Hayes should be happy right now. Sammy Zain just announced
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: that he is restarting the US Title Open Challenge, So
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: if he wants a shot that badly, all he needs
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: to do is be first at the curtain next week
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and just walk out there, dude, and you'll get your shot.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I actually think that would be kind of neat if
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: at the end of all this, maybe someone like him
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: answers the challenge and wins. But that's for like later
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: on though. But before he could tell nick All this
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: what he was wanting, Miz popped up and said, yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: we want a shot at the tag team titles, and
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: all this said that he would take it under advisement.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Hayes was very frustrated because that's not what he was
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: looking for. Meanwhile, they cut over and they show an
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: suv arriving at the arena and who steps out but
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the Women's Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch. She is in the house.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: After this, we had Alistair Black, who used to have
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: a house of his own called the House of Black,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: one on one with Damian Priest. As Priest was coming
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: out to the ring, Black ambushed him and it turned
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: into a brawl. At ringside. Black caught Priest with a
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: knee to the face that drove him over the barricade,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: and we got another commercial break. You know, I may
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: have to start reviewing the commercials. What do you think
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: we may have to start incorporating commercial reviews into these shows.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: As they returned, Priest was in the aisle with officials.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: They were checking on him. He looked dazed and out
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: of it, but he stormed back down to the ring,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: only to get kicked in the head. Now, with both
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: men in the ring, they rang the bell to signify
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the official start of the match. The match hadn't actually
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: started yet, so now the match is officially underway. After
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Priest missed the punch, Black took over with another kick
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to the noggin. Priest recovered with a surprise headbutt, and
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Black answered with a modified crucifix submission. Black took Priest
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: down with a top rope mediora for a two count,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: and I shit, you not strike me down if I'm
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: lying to you. They took another fucking commercial break. They
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: had not even been back for a full two minutes,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: and they went to another commercial break. And this is
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: where I realized that they must be absolutely terrified, terrified
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of running out of time at the end of the
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: show because USA no longer gives them an overrun. Can't
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: eviny overruns. You got a hard out at ten pm,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: and they obviously didn't want to run out of time
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: for the closing segment. This whole show was built around
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the closing segment, and so we got to hurry up
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: and get all the commercials out of the way early
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: so we got plenty of time for what's coming up
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: later on in the show. So the action resumed with
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Priest attempting a razor's edge, not a chokes lamb, but
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Black avoid had both moves. He landed a kick for
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a two count. Are we at four hundred and fifty
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: seven likes? Look at that be the booker unlocked? Now
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: can we get that bonus round to be the booker.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: We're at five out of fifteen on that goal, so
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: we'll see if we get there. But that's awesome. Priest
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: fired back with a hard right hand and he landed
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a series of strikes splash in the corner and then
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: a big boot and a flying crossbody on the outside.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Priest cleared off the announced desk and then he dropped
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Black onto the desk with a razor's edge. The table
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: did not break. Priest then went for a South of
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Heaven chokes lamb in the ring. Black, though grabbed the
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: referee to prevent being taken up into the air, and
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: in all the confusion that ensued here, he landed the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Black mass kick flush right on the jaw covered him
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: and he got the three count. What I was able
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: to actually see of this match, what little bit I
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: saw was solid. It was a solid match. Never felt
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: like a got out of first gear, but it was
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: a solid, you know, hard hitting, you know, pretty fairly
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: even match. I feel like they gave more to Black,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: but you know, mostly a fairly even match between these
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: two with the right man going over. Alistair Black needed
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: a win like this. They have done next to nothing
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: with him on this show in the ring, like he'll
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: get plenty of vignettes, he'll bump into somebody in the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: backstage area, so like he has a presence on the show.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: But I've been waiting for them to really get going
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: with him against someone in like an actual real singles program.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And tonight we at least had a proper wrestling match
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: with him that went, you know, a decent amount of time.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: We need to see more of that. He's been back
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: now for so many months. I mean he came back
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: after WrestleMania, right, so that would have been late April.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: It's now September. What have they really done with Alistair
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Black since he's been back, Not a whole hell of
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: a lot. So I appreciate the fact that we actually
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: had him wrestling against somebody with some name here on
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: this show and he won. It would have been a
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: huge mistake for him not to win. My hope is
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: that because it definitely is not a case where this
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: is over, especially the way they did that finish. So
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: they're going to run this back at least one more time,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: maybe twice. My hope is that, you know, it ends
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: up on a pl at some point. That's what they
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: did with Seamus and russev Right. They had two matches,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the deciding one they threw on the Clash in Paris
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: card and look what happened. It ended up being one
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: of the best things on the entire show. So, with
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: any luck, whether it's Crown Jewel, we'll see. Hopefully they
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: are able to get at like a proper pl match
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: at some point to blow this off the right way.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: We got a Twisted Tea sponsored video promo with comments
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: interspersed from both Drew McIntyre and Ran and they exchange
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: words about one another ahead of their match, which is
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: going to be taking place next Friday night on SmackDown.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: They also mentioned that Brock Lesner will be on next
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: week's show live, so maybe we'll get our explanation then
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: from Brock about why now? Why now? Maybe it's as
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: simple as you know what, John, I hear you're leaving.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I can't let that happen. I can't let you leave
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: without one more ass kicking for good measure, right something.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: So I guess maybe next week we'll finally hear from him.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: And they also announced that Tiffany Stratton is defending her
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Women's championship next Friday against Jade Cargill. So I like
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: that they announced a bunch of things in advance, and
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: some big things too. I mean Orton and McIntyre's a
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: big match, the women's title match. I was wondering if
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: they might save that for Russell Palooza. They're going to
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: do it next week. They've already said Brock is going
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to be there, so they've already, you know, set up
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: a pretty big show next week. The doing the Orton
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and McIntyre match on TV, to me, it all but
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: confirms that they're they're gonna go with Cody and Drew
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Wreussell Palooza, and obviously that's going to be the direction.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: But there's been some talk about maybe he won't be
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: done with street fighter stuff and he may miss the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: show and they might do Orton and McIntyre on that
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: show in Indianapolis. The fact that they're doing it on
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: TV next week, I mean, look, is it possible we
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: get no winner and then they run it back at
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the pl It's possible. But the fact they're doing it
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: next week, tells me that we're getting Cody and Drew
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: on that first ESPN show. I cannot imagine they want
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: to go and have that first big ESPN show and
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: not have the WWE champion defending his title on that show.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: We already know Seth Rollins is not defending the World
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Heavyweight title. You have to have a WWEE Championship match
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: on that show. So not only will we get Cody
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: and Drew on September twentieth, but I would imagine next
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: week we will get Cody Roads back on TV. That
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: would seem like the perfect place for him to make
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: his return and to target Drew McIntyre for what Drew
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: did to him now. Kathy Kelly interviewed Tiffany Stratton backstage
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: and she talked about beating Jade in their match next week,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: just like she did at SummerSlam. They cut to Jade,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: who was watching the promo on a monitor in the
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: back somewhere. Jade was then confronted by Nya Jacks. This
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: will never ever end having Naya in this general orbit
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: of Tiffany and Jade, it will never end. She showed
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: up here. Jade told Nya that she could get in
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: line for a shot at the title after she beats
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Tiffany next week, or we can go sort it out
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: in the ring right now, and Nya chose to walk
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: away instead. They also showed Becky Lynch backstage in Nick
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Aldos's office all this wanted to know why she was there.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: He told her, look, I can't have any more issues tonight,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: and she said, I never cause issues and she walked off.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Saw Saw in the chat says, Tiffany is the backstage
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: women's champion. It feels like it right she is the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: backstage women's champion. We had Julia. Speaking of women's champions,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: we have the United States Champion, Julia, and she has
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Keana James with her in her corner taking on Meechen
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and I I saw her walk out here and I
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: just thought, holy shit, do my eyes deceive me? Or
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: is that Julia on my screen? I can't believe it
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: an actual Julia match. You would have a better chance
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: of finding Bigfoot or Lockness than finding Julia wrestling a
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: match and defending her championship on this show. So the
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: fact that she actually wrestled tonight is a step up
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: from what they've had her doing. But she's on her
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: way out to the ring, and thankfully, thankfully, we went
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to commercial sixty seconds into this, so I don't want
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: to be too overwhelmed by this wrestling shit, so thankfully
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: they went to a commercial break. Sixty seconds into this.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: They come back from break, both women are trading headbuts
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and German sup plex is followed by a double kick
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: that left both women down. Miechen landed a cannon ball
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: in the corner. She went for eat defeat. Julia counted
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: with a Northern Lights bomb for a two count. Michin
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: responded with a sitout power bomb for a near fall.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: So at this point, Keana James gets up on the
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: apron because apparently Julia cannot beat Michen without some help.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Keana James gets up on the apron. We got a
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: very clunky looking spot here where Julia I believe she
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: fell into the ropes, like into the second rope, and
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Keana had to sell it and she had. Kiana ended
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: up basically draped over the middle rope from the apron
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: and Michin dropped the leg on her. This was this
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: just looked terrible. Unfortunately for Michen. That left her open
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: to Julia's arrive. Der Chini and then Julia got the
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: three count and after the match was over, Kana attacked
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Michen and had to be pulled away by referees. Uh
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: h yeah. First of all, the crowd didn't give a
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: shit about this. Crowd did not care. Crowd has not
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: been given any reason to care. And that's what makes
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the whole Julia things so sad. They were very quick
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and very eager to put a championship on her, and
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: then the follow up to that has been horrendous. And
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: when Julia comes out and gets crickets, people noticed this
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: and people will blame Julia for this. I'm sure it's
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: already happening, but if it is, and it will, it
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: will be Sue and people will be talking about how
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Julie is not over or this is not working. Bah
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah lah. Let me ask you a question.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: What has WWE done exactly to help get Julia over
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: on this show? Right? They threw a belt on her,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: They were really quick to do that. They put Keana
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: James with her, which I initially I said, hey, you
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: know what, this might not be a bad idea her
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: representative right or her mouthpiece. It's very clear to me
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: that this is designed more to get Keana James over
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: than it is to get Julia over. That's number one.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Number two, they are not doing they are not accentuating
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: what I feel are Julia's strengths. Julia should have come
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: in here, and even her run at NXT, she had
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: a nice it wasn't that long, but she had a
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: nice running NXT. But what I think you need to
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: really tap into here is that Osca element from when
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Oscar debuted in NXT. She was a killer. She was
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: a killer. She would work, you know, kind of a
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: little on the stae and her matches, but they portrayed her,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: and they did this with SHANEA Basler in NXT as well,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: So it's a formula that fucking works. But they portrayed
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: these women like killers, right, and they're unstoppable. Nobody can
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: beat them. They're vicious in the ring. That's what makes
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: them different. That's what they needed to do with Julia.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: If you ever saw Julia or wrestle any of her
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: matches outside of WWE, I mean that should have been obvious,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: like that's the right way to portray her on TV.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: There is nothing about her and her presentation that screams
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: you know, dangerous in the way that Julia used to
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: be dangerous. There's nothing about her presentation that really would
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: give anybody a reason to be invested in her. Whether
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: it's as a babyface or a heel, it doesn't matter.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, she's a beautiful woman, she's the beautiful madness,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: and she obviously can wrestle, and that's great, so can
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: everybody else on the fucking roster. That's why they were
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: on TV. Of course they can wrestle. What is it
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: about them that separates them from everybody else in the division?
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: They put somebody with her, so what she doesn't do
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: anything on these shows, So when she gets a fucking match,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: of course, nobody is going to react, and nobody is
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: going to care. People are gonna sit on their hands
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: and they're not gonna give a shit. And the more
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: that this continues, it will not work. And then eventually
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: they'll take the title off of her, and who the
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: hell knows what's gonna happen with Julie. It just makes
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: me sad. I was so excited, you know, we're finally
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: going to get Julia on TV. You know what, what
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I've seen of her is really cool. She looks cool,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: and this woman is going to be a star, right
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: she just has that whatever that intangible, whatever it is
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: about her, She can be a star, you know, in
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: a similar way that Oscar became a star. She also
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: had a certain charisma about her, but you were a
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: little afraid of her, and Julia could have had that.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: She does not have that. Right now. They have watered down,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: they have neutered her, and they have to change that.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: She can be a real player in that division. She
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: could have a solid runs the United States champion. There's
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: nothing solid about what they have done with her so
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: far since putting that title on her, it's been nothing
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: but a complete disappointment. She could hardly buy television time
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: on most weeks. People have no reason to care. They
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: have no reason to care, and what they did here
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: was kind of the bare minimum of what they can do,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: you know, your prototypical kind of get in and get out,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: you know, mid card women's match here on SmackDown. Nobody
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: will remember it tomorrow. Nobody has a reason to especially
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: not with everything else that was on the show tonight.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: It was a complete afterthought. They had time to kill
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the show. So this is what
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: they gave us, but they're putting in the bare minimum effort.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I don't see how that helps Julia. Putting a title
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: on somebody isn't enough. It's what you do with it.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: The wrestler makes the title. The title doesn't make the wrestler.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: What they are doing with the wrestler right now is underwhelming,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: and it's unbelievable to me when I look at the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: way that the US title on SmackDown has been portrayed
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: and booked and treated as compared to the Women's Intercontinental
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: title on Raw. Becky Lynch was on SmackDown tonight. She's
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: making appearances on both shows. You imagine Julia showing up
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: on Raw. Who would care? But Becky Lynchman, She's on Raw,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: She's in the main events segment. She's back on SmackDown.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: She's in the main events segment. She's having these killer
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: matches with Lyra Valkyria and different people, and nick Well,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: we won't mention Nicki Bell's match, but look at what
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: they've done with Becky Lynch, look at what they've done
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: with Julia. You tell me. We got a video recap
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: of the Secret hervists last week taking out Charlotte Flair's knee.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Backstage live, Charlotte was I guess in the trainer's room
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and she was lamenting her injury, her storyline injury. When
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss showed up to play doctor right down to
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: a doctor Lilly doll And to assure Charlotte that the
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: power of friendship will heal her pain, well, it was
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: two minutes of my life. I can never get back.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Actually even worse after this, I heard burn it down
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh God, he's here. We get him
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: on Mondays, we get the vision enough on Mondays. Now
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: he's on Fridays. It's seth Rollins, the world heavyweight champion
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: making an unannounced appearance, and he comes out in the crowd.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: He shrutted out. He was on like the concourse for
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: the closing segment, but first a commercial. They come back
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: from commercial. Rollin said that tonight he's still in the crowd.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: And Rollin says, tonight we would all be witnesses to
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: history because the legend of chicag I goes hometown hero
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: CM Punk would die for good and to do the
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: honors with him, Rollins introduced his sexy, brilliant, incredible Irish wife,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Becky Lynch and Becky made her way out to the
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: ring while Rollin's stayed in the crowd. You know, I think, honestly,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: I am having commercial PTSD watching these shows, because he
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: said a few words here and he introduced Becky, and
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm ready for it, Like I'm ready
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: for another commercial. I'm like, give it to me, give
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: it to me. I'm like, I'm thinking a commercial break
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: is coming. I'm Jonesan for one, you know. And then
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: there was no commercial. I'm like, oh my god, I
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: think we're done. I think we're done for the night
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: with the commercials. I think we are. I'm losing my
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: fucking mind watching these shows. So Becky Lynch comes out
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: and the crowd showers her with chance of a j Lee,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: and she says, how dare you chant another person's name
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: while I'm standing in this ring? And she boasted about
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: being the greatest women's wrestler of all time. And it
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't just her saying it. She mentioned she mentioned Sports
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Illustrated said it. I think Sports Illustrated said it. And
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: then she started insulting all of the Chicago sports teams
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: one by one. So she said the Blackhawks suck and
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: the Cubs suck, and the bulls suck. CM Punk sucks,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: and all of you suck. So Punk entered to a
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: massive reaction from his hometown crowd. He made his way
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: down to the ring. Now again, Seth is still in
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: the crowd. So in the ring, it is CM Punk
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: and it is Becky Lynch. Punk said that this wasn't
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: about Becky, but rather her cowardly husband hiding up in
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: a skyboy. He wasn't really in a skybox. Lynch asked
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: how Punk's pride was feeling after what happened on Monday night.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: That was when she smacked him around a few times.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Punk acknowledged the aj Lee because they kept chanting aj Lee,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: and so Punk Acknowledgy. He set her name. He did
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: the thing before she even came out. He acknowledged the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: aj Lee chance. He then asked, Becky, do you actually
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: think that I don't have shooters who wouldn't get into
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: the ring and kick kick your ass. He called out
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: his sister, My sister's here in the crowd. He mentioned Bailey,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: He mentioned Rhea Ripley. Maybe Rhea Ripley will show up
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: and we'll kick Becky's ass. So basically, you know, by
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: process of elimination here, he's eliminating all the options for
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: who might be coming out here in the spot. So
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: we knew it wasn't going to be Bailey, and we
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: knew it wasn't going to be Rhea Ripley, and we
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: knew it wasn't going to be Cmpunk's sister. What an
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: amazing surprise that would be if it was his sister.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: So he rules all of them out. Basically, she slapped
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: him again, smacked him right across the face, dared him
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: to find somebody to fight her. So Punk leaves the ring.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: He starts speaking from the floor. He says that this
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: crowd knows that he would never put his hands on
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: a lady, but thankfully he has somebody who will. Then
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: it happened. Aj Lee's music hits her old music, the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: music that we last heard her using in WWE. I
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's that probably wasn't Jim Johnson. That
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: was probably cfo's at that point. But whoever did it,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: it was not deaf rebel. It was not some deaf
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: rebel monstrosity. Not yet give it time, but for now
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: she still has her old music, and everybody in Chicago
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: lost their minds, and this fucking building they went nuts
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: because it's been ten years and it's Chicago and she's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: married to see Empunk, so of course they love aj Lee.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: She comes out and again not unexpected but just an
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: insane reaction for her, and she looks great, and she
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: skips her way down to the ring like it was
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen all over again. And you hear, you know,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: light it up, light it up. Don't tell Travis Scott,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: He'll light it up. And so she sees Punk and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: kind of smiles at him because Punk is standing right
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: there by the apron, and then she proceeds to skip
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: all around the ring outside. Becky in the ring is
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: just shell shocked. She is selling the fear on her face.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: She's just gobsmacked by what she is seeing here. So
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: aj is absorbing all of the holy shit chants. She
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: gets up on the apron, she gets in the ring,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: She's sitting on the middle rope like she used to do,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: and then aj charges her, tackles Becky to the ground
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: and starts raining punches down upon her. Punches and bunches
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: here to Becky Lynch. Becky tried to escape, didn't work.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Aj gave a she had her back on her feet.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: AJ licks her hand and gives her a nice smack
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: right across the face, and then Becky is just flopping
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: around like a fish. She rolls out to the ring.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: She bails to the bed because now Rollins has come down,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: and Rollin's and her they bail down the aisle. Punk
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: gets back in the ring and AJ jumps into his arms,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: as she did with so many other people when she
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: was being pushed, all the angles that she did with
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: fucking remember Caine, Remember that episode of Raw where AJ
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: came down with a cane mask on, But I remember
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: she jumped up in Caine's arms one. She did this
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: shit with everybody. I mean, see Im, Punk and Daniel Bryan.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: She was playing all kinds of mind games with them
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: at one point and turning them against each other. I'm
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: telling you she was. She was a main event, featured
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: performer on that show consistently for months, and some people
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: maybe either weren't watching back then and don't realize it,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: or they may have forgotten. You know, it wasn't just
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: that Aj was a Deevish chainampion, right, sure, she was
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: the Divas Champion and she would wrestle the other divas,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: but she was one of the featured performers on Monday
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Night Raw and SmackDown, but mostly Raw. She was the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Raw general manager at one point. She was a key
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: player on that show for a good two or three
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: year period. She had a lot of fans. She had
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: a big fan following, and she's been able to maintain
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: that following obviously over all these years. So that played
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: into the reaction that she got. Wasn't just some random
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: person showing up here. It was somebody who for a
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: while there was a big name on these shows that
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: people grew up watching. So she jumped up into her
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: husband's arms and they shared a kiss. At least I
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: think they did because the camera it was the perfect
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: moment they thought for the camera to cut away to
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: show us Seth Rollins's face in the aisleway. Then they
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: cut back to punkin Aj in the ring, and that's
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: how they went off the air. We got a fun,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: happy ending here to this show in front of the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: Chicago crowd. The worst kept secret in wrestling. Obviously, it
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: didn't hurt the reaction to any of this. People still
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: lost their minds. They were going to lose their minds
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: no matter what. Look, it's hard to keep surprises in
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: wrestling today. Somehow, Cody Rhodes was able to keep it
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: a secret that he and Brandy were having their second child.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: It's rare, but there are times wore a brock, even
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: right at Summerslim. There are times where we get a
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: surprise that is genuinely a surprise. The way the storyline
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: was done, things that were said on TV, it was
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: going to be impossible. The fans themselves were chanting for
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: aj Lee, so again, you would have to just be
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: not paying attention to not have aj Lee's name on
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: your brain coming into this show tonight. People were going
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. People did figure it out, and
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: as you saw here, it didn't take away from the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: reaction that she got. Becky I thought was great here.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: She sold the shock of it great, and the attack
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: by aj I mean she was selling it like fucking
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: holy Field was throwing jabs at her, so that was great.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Aj is rocking more abs than her husband's got, so
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: she's looking great. Easily. The best part of the show
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: was the closing segment here. Actually I take that back,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Easily the best part of the show the commercials.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I thought the commercials this week were quite great, a
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: step up from last week. That BK commercial I'm a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: big fan of that. I can't wait to see what
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: they come up with next week. So the commercials easily
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: the best part of the entire show. After the commercials,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: the return of aj Lee, and after the return of
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: aj Lee, the John Cena stuff and the match with
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: sammy'san at the beginning of the show, in that order,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: those were the best parts of the entire show. Everything
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: else in the middle was just there. Priest in Black again,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: solid match, but never really got out of that first gear.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I know they're gonna run it back again, maybe with
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: a stipulation, maybe on a pl at some point. It
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: was a perfectly fine television match. But if you saw
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: nothing else on this show, you missed nothing. You miss nothing.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: You watch the John Cena stuff at the beginning, it
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: takes up the first forty five minutes of the show,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: and then you watch that closing segment. That is what
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: SmackDown was all about tonight. You know, people were coming
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: into this show saying that this is like the biggest
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: SmackDown of the entire year, you know, bigger than the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: post WrestleMania SmackDown. It felt that way coming into this
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: show at a time when SmackDown has been very hard
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: to watch. SmackDown has not been that good. You're being
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: honest with yourself. SmackDown has not been a fucking good show.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: This was a show where people felt like they were
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: genuinely excited, like they were actively looking for I can't
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: wait to watch SmackDown, especially coming out of that teas
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: on Monday. So I was looking forward to the show
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: tonight and the key segments that had to deliver. They
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: did with they had to do, but you'd take one
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: or both of those out, and boy, this show is.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: The show is in some trouble right now. And it
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't help that they've been without the WWE champion now
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: for what's it been three weeks, maybe a month, probably
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: about three weeks right since they did the injury angle
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: with Cody. It's tough. John Seen is not on the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: show every week. John Seen is not on the show
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: at all anymore. Brock is back, and Brock's part time
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: at best. Cody's been away filming his movie. Kevin Owens
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: got hurt. It sucks he's not around anymore. Randy Orton
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: barely shows up. You know, he's got that sweet, that
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: sweet schedule. Good for him, then he's earned it, but
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: it hurts the rest of the show. That's why we
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: get the MFT so much. That's why they feel so overexposed.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be very happy for them to overexpose
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: a faction if they actually had a story that was ongoing,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: that was interesting and for a while that was the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: bloodline until they ran that into the ground and they
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: did everything they could with it. But for a while there,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: especially when Sammy was part of the Bloodline, that was
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: appointment television here on this show, like episodic week to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: week television, developing stories and characters, and it carried SmackDown
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: until it didn't. They don't have anything like that right now,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: the MFTs. They ain't it. They just don't have anything
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: like that on this show right now. So tonight the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: excitement level was there. I wish that it could be
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: there like that every week. Next week, they've already announced
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: McIntyre and Randy Orton, they've already announced the women's championship
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: match with Tiffany and Jade Brock will be there. So
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: they've already told you there's some big things happening on
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: the show next week. Hopefully some of this can carry
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: over to that. Let's take a look at the Twitter
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: poll the report card. How would you grade? Smack down
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: from Chicago? Sixty six percent give this show a A grade,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: Twenty three point eight percent give this show a B.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Just four and a half percent give this show a C.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: See I would have given this show a C because,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: as the Cookie Monster would say, C is for commercials.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: And then five point eight percent give the show a D.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: That's with almost two thousand votes in look at that shit,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: so you can vote and follow along at Solemn Monster.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Eight out of fifteen on the bonus supercheck goal. That's
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: for the bonus B the Booker. We're getting to be
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: the Booker no matter what tonight. Today's episode is sponsored
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: by Hymns. It's an experience a lot of men are
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: terrified of. They look in the mirror one day and
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: they notice their hair is starting to thin. It doesn't
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: happen at the same age for everyone. For some it
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: happens earlier than others. But maybe it runs in your family.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's a hereditary thing. There are lots of reasons
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: that it happens, but you see it and you think, well,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: that's it. My life is over. It's baseball hats for
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: me from now on. Seriously, do you know how many
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: men are walking around right now with a Mets hat
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: on their head who probably couldn't even name three players
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: on the entire team. They just need an excuse to
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: cover up on top. But guys, you don't need to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: live your life that way. It happens way more than
• 1:11:19

  Speaker 1: Take a look at your messages, Got some good ones
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: in here. Retro says most weeks, I forget the MFTs
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: even exist. How is that possible? They're all over these shows, dude,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: How do you forget? If there's one thing I can't
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: say is that I forget about the MFTs. They don't
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: let me forget about the MFTs. It's impossible to forget
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: about the MFTs. What show are you watching we kick
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: off here with death scythe I hope you're having a
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: good night. Jacob Fought Too recently was a guest on
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: The Rich Eisen Show and said that he would like
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: to have a match with Jeff Hardy one day. What
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts. I would love to see that match.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: I know Jeff. I mean, Jeff had a great feud
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: there with Umaga. You know, another member of the dynasty
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: there who could work his ass off. They had some
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: great matches together. So I know Jeff's you know, a
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: lot older now than he was then. But I think
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: a Jacob Fought to Jeff Hardy match I think would
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: be would be good. I don't know if it'll ever happen,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: but I'd be in favor of it. Holiday one ninety seven, Hey,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Solo Sena is scheduled to appear at Survivor Series on
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: November twenty ninth. Then there will be a two week
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: gap until his last match on Saturday Night's main event
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: on December thirteenth. Curious how they will build his last
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: match with no TV show appearances. Yeah, I have no
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: idea what they're going to do as far as the
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: opponent or how they want to build it up. Are
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: they going to announce an opponent. Are they going to
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: save it as a surprise. We don't know. We don't
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: know how they're going to work it. One thing we
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: do know is that John Cena will not have any
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: input into it, because John Cena is always reminding us
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: when he does interviews that he doesn't lobby for opponents,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: and he just shows up to work and does what
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: he's told. So it comes down to whatever Triple Hs
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: in the creative team want to want to do with
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: John Cena. They did him dirty with that heel turn,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: so I don't trust them. Terrible Dried Chicken. I am
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: convinced WWE's philosophy is still the same with or without Vince,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: only catered towards an audience of one. Who is the audience.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: It is the almighty dollar. It's usually how business works.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why you're shocked by this.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: It is indeed the most important thing to them, But
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know why anybody would have expected that that
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: would be any different now. Joseph Stewart, Happy birthday to
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: the legend and icon Michael Keaton, and happy thirty third
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: anniversary to Batman. The animated series. Yes, Happy Birthday to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: Michael Keaton, still my favorite Batman. Also buy or sell
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: The Mask or ace Ventura The Mask Holiday one ninety seven.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: And the fact that Michin kicked out of Julia's Northern
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Lights sup plex is exactly why the women's US title
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: scene is problematic. Then to drag the feud on, I
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: guess that's the end of the message. Yeah. Yeah, the
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Northern Lights Bomb didn't win it, but the arrivederci ni did.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: I think it should be the other way around. Northern
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Lights Bomb should be how she is finishing off these opponents,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: or at least you want to have a couple of
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: different finishes. That's fine, But yeah, for Mechen to kick
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: out of that in just a nothing match on TV
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: was very stupid. Dry Chicken says need more title belts
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: in WWE. The roster is bloated with talent. They got
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: nothing to lose US and intercontinental titles aren't valuable. Aw
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, TNA, Triple A, CMLL, New Japan and
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: other promotions have lots of title belts. Champions don't feel devalued,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: they're less over ex Yeah, I couldn't disagree with you.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: More like, you're so wrong on that, Like it hurts.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: It hurts my soul to hear you say that you
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: think we need more belts in WWE. We do not
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: need more belts in WWE. Why would you think the
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: WWE needs more belts when they are showing you that
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: they barely know how to book the current belts that
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: they have. You think adding more belts they're gonna suddenly
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: get better at booking those belts? Are you out of
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: your mind? Did you not hear what I just said
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: about Julia? Did my feed cut out when I was
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: talking about her match? I mean, dude, come on, you
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: think that they add more mid car championships that that's
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: gonna help. It's gonna make things worse. That's the last
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: thing they need. Let them book the existing championship the
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: right way before they even consider adding more championships. I
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: think that would be a terrible idea. They want to
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: buy more belts to hold up their pants, that's fine.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Championship belts absolutely not. He also says, see, I'm Punk
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: told aj Lee I have the time of my life
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: and I owe it all to you. Ce Im Punk
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: and a J Lee are going to have bad ideas
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: for both Seth and Becky did. I don't even think
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: aj had a finish does she have a finishing maneuver?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember. Dennis Hickey. Hey, Solo, love your videos.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Have you watched Dexter or Dexter Resurrection? If you did,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: what was your opinions on it? No spoilers. You know
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: a good friend of mine was a big fan of
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: the original Dexter series. I never watched it, although there
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: was some that was there one or two spinoff or
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: prequel series because I know one of them just got
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: canceled and it apparently the first season was very well
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: received and did well, and they just announced that after
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: announcing it was greenlit I think for a second season,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: they just announced that in fact, it's canceled because they're
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: trying to save money. But no, I haven't seen any
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: of the Dexter shows, Anthony Wolf. He Solo signed up
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: for a VPN with your link and watched SmackDown for
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: the first time in years. Thanks for the help and
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: all you do. Well, that's very cool, Anthony. I'm very
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: happy to hear it. I should have remembered to do
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: that tonight because I too, am paying for that VPN
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: and it is a great resource and it would have
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: saved me a lot of commercials tonight had I used
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: it to watch the SmackDown Show. That link, by the way,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: is in the description down below. You two can take
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: advantage of it only if you're a sound off listener
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: birthday boy. At this point, WWE is unwatchable and AJ's
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: return changes nothing. But they can't have two ajs, So
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: how about we get styles in AEW we're the best
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: wrestled hick dude. He had the chance to go when
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: his last the contract was up. He had the chance
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: to leave and go to AW He's got friends there,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: he opted not to go. Orioles Peak with the ten dollars,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: you see, if we're caught up here on this list,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: so I can start scrolling not yet, still got some
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: early ones here, orioles Peak, thank you for the ten
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: says between Naomi, Nicki, Alexa, Trish and aj Lee. That's
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: why I never listened to anyone who disrespected the Divas era.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: They never suffer from lack of talent, they suffered from
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: lack of opportunities. Well, it was a lack of opportunities
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: and in some cases a lack of talent, not necessarily
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: in the names you've mentioned, but there were definitely some
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: women in the ring who had no business being in
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: the ring. Broley seven says it took Becky for something
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: interesting with the women to occur on SmackDown. They desperately
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: need help and a draft. Compared to Raw Is Night
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: and Day, there is no draft needed, Braley, there's no draft.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: You don't need a draft. The draft is a dead concept.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: You can move the chess pieces around any time you
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: want to, You can have trades between the two general managers.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: We do not need a draft, at least not the
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: way they used to do it, because those draft TV
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: shows that they do are fucking boring. I don't ever
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: want to see a draft show for the rest of
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: my life. Orioles Peak. Bring Total Divas and the Divas
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Championship back, orioles Peak. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Alex with
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: a ten dollars super chat, what's going on? Alex? Alex
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: says she may not be the greatest female in ring wrestler,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: but aj Lee's charisma and personality is generational. Fantastic opener
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: and closing segments, and thank you for another excellent review.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you Alex. I appreciate that Jack Glancy with a
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: learning tree. Let's all thank Jungle Jack Off, Tony Clown,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: and the Young Cus for making this possible. AJ is
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: still and always will be fine. Cmpunk is a lucky soob.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: He married well, he married well, Bobby means. On September twentieth,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: it's aw's all out versus WWE's wrestle Palooza. After the
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: results of tonight, I'm afraid all at is officially on
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: life support. Well, they're no longer heads ahead directly. Actually
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: they will be, but only only briefly. Now. I have
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: a lot more to say about that on the sound
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: off this weekend Death's Side. If we get Punk and
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Cody at WrestleMania one of these years, do you think
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: that it could potentially be this generation's Rock Austin at
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania X seven. I don't. I don't like making those comparisons.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, what does that? What does that even mean? Right,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: Austin Rock at WrestleMania seventeen was an excellent match. Does
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: that Are you saying that Cody and Punk will have
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: an excellent WrestleMania made event? Probably? Yeah, I would hope.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: So comparing it to Rock and Austin, though. Is it
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: going to be remembered twenty years from now as the
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: greatest or one of the greatest WrestleMania main events of
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: all time? Probably not. Is it going to be a
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: generational match? Probably not. But like I hate even making
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: those comparisons, Holliday says, I believe that if they do
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: Seth and Punk at WrestleMania, it has to be inside
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Helen a Cell to close their feud. I mean I
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: could see it. I don't know. I mean, we did
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: that with Punk and Drew. Do it again with punkin Seth.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: I mean you could. It would have to have some
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: kind of stipulation. I agree. I don't know that it
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: has to be Helen a Cell, but Helen a Cell
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: is a stipulation that should be used to blow off
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: a big blood feud. So I mean it fits the criteria.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Dev to dust. Why are the Jets and Giants called
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: the New York Jets and New York Giants when their
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: stadium is in New Jersey because we don't have one
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: in New York. I don't know what to tell you, brother,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't name the teams. Bass Bears says, Light it
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Up Broley seven, have the same person, have the same
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: person writing for the women on Raw to write for
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: the for the SmackDown. They lucky Tiffany is over, otherwise
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: she would be in the same place as Julia. Yeah,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: the women scene right now on SmackDown is it's quite
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: It's quite desperate. It is quite desperate death side. Why
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: can't wrestlers just do what Randy Orton once did when
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: def Rebel tried to change his music and tell them
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: to fuck off. You're not changing my muse because that's
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton. Most wrestlers are not Randy Orton, so they're
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to Uh. I mean, look, dude,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: even Seamus can't get his old music back. He finally
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: gave up. They gave it back to him for like
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: two weeks, and then they took it away from him.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: If Seamus can't get his music back, what makes you
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: think that some of these people on the roster are
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: going to be able to get their music back. There's
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: no way. They have no chance. Curtis Curtis tally with
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine, Michael Cole missing the Angle Slam
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: and Edge of Spear and seen his match was a
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: little frustrating. Yeah, it was. It was like, dude, are
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: you watching the same thing that I'm watching? Like the
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: angle slam, which is funny because he just calls it
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: like a back suplex, like it's just another move. And
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: Sina took about five business days to actually get him
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: up and over for the move too, so he had
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: plenty of time to realize what it was that he
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: was watching there. Top Thumper, I haven't watched a full
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: wrestling program in years for aj Lee. I watched a
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: full wrestling program tonight, he asked. But top Thumper, what
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: did you think of the show overall? He said, you
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: haven't watched a full show in years? Now you did,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: you didn't give me your review of the show. Uh.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Fire Panda always good to hear from firepan I appreciate
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: that top bomb tonight from fire Panda. Somewhere a twelve
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: year old panda a very very happy or is very
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: very happy to see aj Lee back in WWE. Oh
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: based on what we heard there in Chicago tonight, I
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: would wager that there are a lot of people who
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: are very happy to see aj Lee back in WWA.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: Death Side. I also hope we get seen a fatu
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: and if anyone says we can't because Fatu is on
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: SmackDown and seen It is on Raw to that, I say,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: what brand split? Yeah? I mean that's that's why you
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: know people mentioned the draft. I'm like, why they're gonna
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: do what they want anyway? The hell do you need
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: a draft? Foresh you wanna you wanna shake the rosters up,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: shake them up. You don't need a draft to do that.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: People are gonna go from one show to the other regardless,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter, Holiday says. If Rheo wins the
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: world title at Crown Jewel, Eo Sky should be traded
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: to SmackDown, Naya can be traded to Raw or Jade.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: If she doesn't win the title, They're gonna have to
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: make some kind of move here because SmackDown needs help
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: more than Raw does right now, and then we'll see. Also,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: once Bianca comes back, where does Bianca bell Air fit
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: into things? Mark Martinez. I think it'll be Brock then
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: AJ on Raw Dom at Survivor Series since it'll be
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: in San Diego and gunther as seen as last matches.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: Been listening since twenty twelve. Thank you, Mark, thirteen years
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: A long time, you know, what. I could see that.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: I could see aj as a raw match, and even
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: something with Dom I could see that too, So I
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: think you may be onto something there. Doni Yasu says,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just an aj Lee mark. I don't give a fuck.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: You don't got to apologize to me for that. We
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: got a lot of aj Lee marks in the chat tonight,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of aj Lee marks all over
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: social media tonight, windsor Guy twenty two. Aj Lee looked
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: Jack tonight so glad to see her back. She deserves it.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: I hope she enjoyed that moment and was able to
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: take a minute to soak it all in. It looked
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: like she was looked like Punk was happier than she was.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: He looked like a proud man out there. Nick Grosso says,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: if Ria Ripley doesn't face Osca wrestled Palusa, would be
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: a good idea to make her either guest enforcer or
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: guest referee the eo Sky Stephanie Va Kier match, just
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: to make sure nobody interferes. No, because that would be
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: very unfair to Stephanie Va Kaire, That would be unfair
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: to the care Ria Ripley and Eosky have a friendship
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: that has played itself out on television. Now, if I
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: were Stephanie va Kaier and you said to me, you're
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: gonna make my opponent's friend the referee for the match,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: I would say, fuck you, No, you won't because that's
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: very unfair. Wouldn't really make a lot of sense. It
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: would be a way to get her on the show,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: but it wouldn't make any sense. Uh. Duff's VIDs. How
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: many people died on the Titanic A boatload? Christian says, Hi,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: Hello TLA, Mark Bannon, who's your favorite wrestler who had
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: a second run? I mean Sean Michaels is probably at
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: the top of the list. Look at the second run
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: that he had. Find me a better second run than
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: him and the matches that he had during that run. Mark,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: thank you. Though Duff's VIDs with the four ninety nine,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: why was the whale said? It couldn't find it? Pipois
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: in life you suck couldn't find its? Pipis DJ blind?
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: Was this the best SmackDown ending ever? Uh? No, no
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: it is not. It's funny enough. He goes, it's up
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: there with the ending in two thousand and one when
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: everyone gave their finishers. Heady gets a sort of dude,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: you just answered your own question. That is still that
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: is still the greatest ending. I'm happy for Aj though,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: but no, it is not the best ending ever. Dev
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: to destays, remember when every New Yorker used to sound
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: like Robert de Niro and Harvey kaitel See. I'm proof
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: positive that every New Yorker does not sound like that.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: Not every New Yorker does not sound like Vince Russo
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: bro I'm proof of that. Dried Chicken says this is
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: a low bar here, but this he says he would
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: take his chances of watching Ashby Elegance and Aj Francis
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: on TNA over SmackDown's creative good luck with that. The
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: bar may be low, but let's not Let's not take
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: it down to the basement quite yet. Duffs Vid says,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: my dentist pulled out the wrong tooth. He said it
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: was accidental. It's just awful. It's just awful. Holliday says,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Predicting Charlotte or Elect accidental. Predicting Charlotte or Alexa wins
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: the women's US title. Next in Charlotte Slash Elect, a
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: feud for the title into WrestleMania. At least it is
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: wishful thinking. At least it would bring some level of
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: prestige to the United States Championship. I don't hate it
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: retro koh, sorry to say, but I fully expect AJ
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: gets deaf rebeled by Russell Palooza, if not on the
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: night of Sorry, I don't make the rules f deaf Rebel.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: So what's the opening kind of salvo going to be
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: for AJ's new theme? Light it up? And then some
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: awful electronic instrumental generic garbage boomerang? When I heard aj
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: Lee's music hit, I heard Bobby Heenan in my head,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: go you're in deep do doo tonight? Pal, Yeah, I
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: thought you were going to say you heard Bobby Heenen
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: in your head? Go yeah, But whose side is she on?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: Whose side is she on? Uh? Duffs A man that
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: was a slam dunk there was right there, man. You
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: should have taken the anyway Duff's VIDs with a nine
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: ninety nine man. Duff Duffs is flexing some muscle here tonight.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: I went to the beekeeper to get twelve bees. I
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: counted and he gave me thirteen. I said, sir, you
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: gave me an extra bee, he said, that's a that's
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: a freebie, son of a bitch. Thank you, Duffs. Yeah,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: we gotta figure out what the what the beginning of
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: this new aj Lee music is gonna sound like? Maybe
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: somebody like all the way in the back of the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: room or something. Light it up. Let's light it up.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, We'll have to come up with something. Irenzo.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: What if the match with Lesner Sena is able to
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: squash him as kind of a get back for Summerslim
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: John Cena in twenty twenty five is not squashing anybody, dude,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a huge disappointment. I mean,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: some people would love to see Brocket squashed, but as
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: a pay per view main event, forty eight year old
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: John Cena is not squashing anything except the bug beneath
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: his boot. That's about it. Mactub. Do you think Orton
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: should have won it WrestleMania twenty five? I do, because
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: there was really no need for Triple H to win there,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: and with Orton going over as the heel, you don't
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: close the show with that. Instead, you do the smart
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: thing and you close the show with the real main event,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: which was sewn Michaels against the Undertaker. So that way,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: if you're not ending with the WWE Championship match, because
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: Vince was not every year, but like most of the time,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: he was very big, especially of WrestleMania, with giving people
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: the happy ending in addition to whoever else he was
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: giving the happy ending to behind the scenes. So in
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: that case, if Orton was going to go over as
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: the heel Comayne and then you close with Sean and Undertaker.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: But Randy Orton during that period in two thousand and nine,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: he was just a fucking menace. That was probably the
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: best incarnation of Randy Orton. I wouldn't have beaten him.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: I would have let him kept going. We've got a
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: white face with a nine to ninety nine AJ getting
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: the backstage vid of her signing her new wweek contract
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: with Triple H gleefully smiling the whole time. Suffice to say,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: she is back back. So many daughters of her on
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: the current roster. So is that a video that they
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: I have not seen that video yet. So is that
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: a video that was posted? So she has signed a contract?
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Or so say if that's super chat, Yeah, no, there
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: it is. That's there is indeed video of aj Lee
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: signing a contract. So she's back. I don't know if
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: that means full time like every single week, but she's back.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: Good for her. The real cso too. I agree WWE
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: needs to do more with her. But people's complaint that
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Juliet doesn't get TV time, but when she does, people
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: still complain. It isn't setting the world on fire. But
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: it's still TV time, dude, it's shit. Come on, dude,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: don't make any excuse. Please, don't make excuses for them.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Don't make it well, it's still TV time. Sure, dude.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: I could take a shit and I could put it
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: on a piece of paper and you can put it
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: on the floor and the camera can zoom in on it,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: and you can give that four segments on the show. Right,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: it's still shit. It's getting TV time, but it's still shit.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: Don't make excuses for them. Powerful one moments like that
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: are what pro wrestling is all about. It makes it
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: the coolest thing in the world. Welcome back a j Lee.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: It was a very cool moment. They're very big on moments,
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: and I do agree that it's really the moments are
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: what people remember. Whether it's a moment during a match,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: or it's just outside the ring, if it's in a
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: promo segment, if it's a return, if it's a debut.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: The Juliet three to sixteen just saw your tweet on
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: the ban on noncompete clauses not happening. I can't say
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised. Yeah, I'm not surprised either. Dried chicken without flavor.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: But Juliette, thank you. Brother. Juliet's also with us every
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: single week dried chicken with a five. Sometimes I just
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: want to pull a nighto when it comes to the
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: WWE title belts. Just throw the belts in the air,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: or drag them right, just throw them in the air.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: Just drag him on the floor behind you, dirty him
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: up a little bit. Sorry, Roderick. Enjoy your dinner, though,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's delicious. Hopefully he's not having, you know,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: meat loaf or anything. Mark says, Do I see AJ
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: winning another title? If so, which one? I could see
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: AJ winning the Intercontinental title at some point. I just again,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just hearing about this content track
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: that she's signed, so I will I will have to
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: find out what the nature of it is. Is it
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: a part time deal. Is it a Legends deal? I
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: don't know that will dictate whether or not I think
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: she will win a championship. Again, I don't know the
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: answer to that yet. The Boss Moo Jackson with a
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: pair of super chats. Hello, they're brothers. Solo. Hope all
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: as well. I hope all is well with you as well,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: bossmo Jackson. Not an AJ fan. She's more character than wrestling.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: She is, but we need that on the show as well.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: Can't just be a it's all great wrestlers and no
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: substance beyond that. You know, with some people that's the case.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: They're great wrestlers, but there just isn't much else there,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: you know, or maybe they just haven't had the chance
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: to show off their personality. These television shows. They need
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: interesting personalities. I would much rather have an interesting personality
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: on these shows than someone who's a fantastic wrestler and
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: bores me to fucking tears. And maybe it's just how
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: bad some of these weekly shows have gotten that my
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: patience is just worn thin, that there's just so many
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: weeks go by and these shows, I mean, you can
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: get great matches, We get great matches every week, but
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: like give me something that grabs me. Give me characters
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: that are fun or just interesting in some way, and
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: we don't get enough of that. We get some of that,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: sometimes we don't get enough of that. But I would
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: rather have characters like that that have charisma that can
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: be you know, engaging in some way. And if she
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: or he is not the best wrestler in the world,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: if they're just okay and serviceable, that's fine, because you
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: know what, there's tons of great wrestlers out there. There's
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: plenty of great wrestlers out there, but what we see
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: on these shows each week has to be interesting enough
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: to get you to want to tune in the following
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: week to see those people and to see the stories
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: that they're involved in. And if they're boring as shit,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: then that doesn't really do anybody any good. Powerful one though,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: thank you again dropping a ten dollars super chat. How
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: many women on the roster do you think grew up
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: watching and idolizing this woman? Aj Lee is to them
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: what Trish Lieda and China were for many of us.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: She's going to have a nostalgia run for the records. Yeah,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: I mean there were people who came up during that
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: total Divas period, even though AJ was not a Total Diva.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: She actually cut a pipe bomb on the Total Divas.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: But it became fans during that period, and they probably
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: became fans of hers, and so to them especially, her
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: coming back brings them back to that time and it's
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: exciting for them. You know. I'm happy to see her
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: back because I always found her to be a fun
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: character on the show. You know, she added to the show.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: You know, she can talk. I found her to be
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: one of the more interesting female personalities on the show,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: and she was different than a lot of the other
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: divas that were on the show. I'm glad to have
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: her back. She doesn't have to be the best wrestler
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: in the world. You know, she was fine, but she's
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: a personality that I think will help I would hope
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: help enhance the shows with what they do with her.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: DJ Blind you forgot the White Sox man six in
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: a row, six in a row that they've lost, or
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: six in a row that they've won. I'm going to
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: assume that they've lost Alexander. Where in the world is Iliya,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: Dragon of Diego. I don't know, man, I could just
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: picture maybe that's his new gimmick when he gets back.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: He's like the male version of Carmen san Diego. Where
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: in the world is Ilia? Oh word fourteen out of fifteen.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, I just noticed on that bonus be
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: the booker goal. We got one more, one more there,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: and we're going into bonus rounds the Bossmo Jackson. I
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: never got into the aj character. She's okay, Well, maybe
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: she'll get you into the character this time. It's been
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: ten years. Maybe she's got some new material to work with.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: Arabian Night two. Well, she got a whole new roster
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: of women to work with, that's for sure. Arabian nine,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: two thousand. The misuse of Julia should be studied. Crowds
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: don't care. Triple Ah dropped the ball on one of
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: the most talented female wrestlers in the last five years.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: Shaking my head. The woman is money. They just haven't
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: been able to tap into that yet or feature her
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: in a way where she can be looked at on
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: that SmackDown brand. Truly is one of the top stars
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: on that brand, and she should be at a time
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: when SmackDown you compare the SmackDown women's situation roster. Whatever
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: you want to say, to what we have on RAW.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, Raw clearly has the edge right now, but
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: given the state of SmackDown, Julia should be like top
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: three right now, like top three, top five. She's not
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: even She's not even there. I don't care. I don't
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: care what title you put on her. She's not even
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: there yet. I know she can get there, but the
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: fact that she's not and she's been up now for
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: several months is frustrating. Also, he says, we're getting ads
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: galore on Wressel Palooza like Saturday night's main event. I God,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: I hope not. But you know what, I don't know.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: It's ESPN now, the ESPN app. I don't know what
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: it's like on there. I wonder how many people are
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: going to be severely confused when they put the actual
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: ESPN channel on, expecting to see Wrestle Palooza and then
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: they realized, because my understanding is it's not actually airing
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: on ESPN. They keep saying ESPN because that's the name
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: of the of the you know, direct to consumer service.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have some very confused people. Uh.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: The Boss Bo Jackson, lesnar f FIV or anyone at
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: his age is still fun to watch. He gets some
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: height on it. Man, they go flying through the air
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: death side. Who do you think had the scariest Titan
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: Tron video? For me, it was Chris Benoit and it's
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: even more unsettling now given the circumstances. Oh, is that
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: the one where he would just like he would scream.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: It was just like his head and he was like
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: screaming and shaking. Yeah, that's that's that's pretty weird. I
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: had the scariest probably Steve Blackman. Man. If I saw that.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: It's just various clips of Steve Blackman with the They
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: weren't nunchucks. They were I don't know what you would
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: call them. It's like sowt off kendo sticks. If I
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: saw that and I knew he was coming out, I'd
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: be pretty scared. Tuxedo t Servo WWE has a video
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: of AJ and Punk after the show. AJ danced around
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: with the IC title, kissed it, and then left with it.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: Punk was having a great time. See, so there you go.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: I mean I could absolutely see her winning the Intercontinental
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: Championship at some point. Will Mantick, I've been listening to
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: you since June of twenty twelve, says I used to
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: donate in the website you used to give names called
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: me Luis, Hercules Hernandez. Do you still have that web site?
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know what website you're talking about, but Luis,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: I remember you, brother, I remember Hercules Hernandez. We haven't
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: heard you in the PayPal roll call for a while.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: I thought you disappeared on me, But of course I
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: remember you. I hope you doing well. It's good to
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: hear from you. Jeremy Dyer thoughts on Matt Riddle's comments
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: on aj Lee. I thought that, first of all, I
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: don't know why anybody was even asking him about aj Lee.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: Whatever show that was there was TMZ that he was on,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was disgusting and completely uncalled for.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: Robert Lee says double be the booker. Ah, yes, I
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: just noticed we did. We unlocked the goal, We unlocked
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: the bonus rounds awesome powerful one very few women in
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: on the roster or all time, really who could cut
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: a promo and talk people into the building like aj could.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sure she still can. She had a way on
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: the microphone that not everybody did, and that I think
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: that is what I am looking forward to. Also getting
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: that first kind of in ring promo segment with her
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: and Becky, because we've seen what Becky can do as
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: a heel. I mean it's one thing like tonight she
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: was insulting the sports teams. That's low hanging fruit. But
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: I think Becky for the most part has been really
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: good when it comes to you know, like her promo
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: work during this heel run. Put her in the ring
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: with AJ on Monday and let them go back and forth.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking forward to see how that goes.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: Paul Carpenter, remember the Slickster married AJ and Daniel Bryan.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: My god, I forgot about that? Was it slick? I
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: think it was. I forgot about that Navy forty one
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: eighty one with the nine ninety nine that used to
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: be the cost of the WWE network. Boys, it's a
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: lot different now. Remember when the network was just nine
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: to ninety nine a month. You got all the pay
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: per views, you had the library or part of the library.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: They had actual original programming on there. The Edge and
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: Christian Show, what was the full name? The Edge and
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: Christian Show that Reeks of Awesomeness. They had that cartoon
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: Camp WWE. They had story Time, he says in two
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: thousand and two, if Hogan ended up his champion with
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: the nWo, do you think he would have spray painted
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: the Big Eagle belt. I've seen some impressive AI images
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: of that done to the winged Eagle already. Do not
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: do not deface the winged Eagle sacrilege. I don't. I
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: don't think they would have spray painted the belt. Oh
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: right along, yeah, right along was another one table for three.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, we didn't know what we had
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: with that network. They actually had really good original programming
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: to go with the archival content and then the pay
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: per views for ten dollars a month, like you can't
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: beat that. You can't beat that. Angel mah kanos with
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: the four ninety nine, no message, just showing some love. Angel,
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you man. Your super chats are very much appreciated.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: They are the lifeblood of this channel. I very much
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: do appreciate it. The Bossmo Jackson says, EO, who's the
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: greatest tag team ever? EO, I'm not sure what she
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: has to do with it. Greatest tag teams though, and
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: the two that will always be first and foremost on
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: my mind when I get that question, Demolition and the
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: Heart Foundation. For other people, it might be the Road Warriors,
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: it might be the Steiner Brothers. It might be the
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: Dudley Boys, it might be the Hardy Boys, it might
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: be the USOS. If you're a newer fan Demolition or
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: the Heart Foundation, you can't go wrong that guy Jaeger
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: brother solo. Did you take one more step with Bully?
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: I can't spoil it. You gotta find out yourself. He
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: was getting pretty hot at me though, but I said.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: The full thing is on the YouTube channel House of
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: Glory Wrestling. It just went up earlier today. You can
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: go check it out. Ryan Armstrong, AJ Lee's finisher, the
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: Black Widow. Oh that's right, yes, thank you, the Octopus
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: that was her finish, powerful one. Becky and AJ on
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: the mic, I'm picturing Roman Sena in twenty seventeen. No,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: Becky could hold her own. I think AJ would too.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Roman was just woefully unprepared and
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: he was completely just destroy He was verbally eviscerated and
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: just embarrassed by John Cena on the mic that night.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: I don't see that happening with Becky and AJ at all.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: And Devin from NJ two thousand how would Solo have
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: ended the Elimination Chamber from this year? Would it be
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: Sina winning the chamber or still doing some kind of
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: angle at the end? I think it would have been
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: Seena winning the chamber. And then if you were if
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: you were going to turn him heel and had a
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: good plan for it, do the heel turn to WRESTLEMANI
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been ideal to build up to a
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: match like Sena and Cody's babyfaces because there's so much
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: alike and they're kind of vanilla, So I didn't really
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: like that idea. But like you look at it back
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: in hindsight, if they would have saved the turn for Mania,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: it would have been a lot more impactful. But then
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: comes the follow up to that, and the follow up
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't great, So I wouldn't have done it at all.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: But if you were going to progress in the direction
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: they ultimately went in, just end the Elimination Chamber, would
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: see it in Punk as the last two in there.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: They go at it for a little bit and Sina
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: wins the chamber and you get that feel good moment
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: at the end of the show. They went for the
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: shock factor and that was great as a moment, it
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: was fantastic. We will look back on that moment, though,
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: and people will not look back at it in the
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: way that I think when it happened, people thought they
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: would look back at it because you do think about
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: what came next, and what came next sucked could have
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: been people think, oh, this is a generational that's like,
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: that could have been a generational moment in WWE history.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: It's a great moment, but in retrospect, that's all it was.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: That's all it was. It ended up meaning nothing. Holiday
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: one ninety seven. Tiffany has been champion for eight months
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: and her run has been blase, although she hasn't feuded
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: with many top stars. I think it's time for her
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: to drop the title and let Jade have a run.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: Leading to Bianca, Well, I mean the question is, do
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: do you turn Jade heel? You know, like, does that
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: happen in the course of the match that way she's
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: a heel. Bianca comes back as a baby face to challenge,
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: you know, heal Jade, or if Jade is doing stuff
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: that Bianca doesn't necessarily improve of confront her about it.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I still feel like Tiffany or Jade.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: Probably Jade should go heal or will go heal. At
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: the end of all this, I don't know, Sees says.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that EO Sky is the best wrestler?
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: I do in WWE? I do? I mean the top two,
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: the top two Gunther and Eosky, those are your two
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: best wrestlers in WWI the Bossmo Jackson, EO means in
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: your opinion, Okay, dude, I had no idea. I see EO,
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: I immediately think of EO Sky. That's hilarious. Actually, that
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: is hilarious. I'm like, EO the fuck? Cal? Hey, Cal,
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Twelve months of membership. I thought she
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: would have hit Becky with the Black Widow. She looks amazing.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: Phil Brooks is a lucky man. I really like New
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: Day's New theme. You like New Day's New theme? Huh.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: Let me see if I can give you a little
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: New Day's New theme here. It's your boys, the New
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: Dume do it quite as well as their theme. But eh,
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: it's all right, not great, but it's okay. I've heard
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: worse from deaf Rebel Grant Hudson. With nineteen months of
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: channel membership, I saw Hogan's cartoon is going to be
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: added to the vault. I remember my dad burned them
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: on CD for me when I was little. Yes, Hulk
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: Hogan's rock and wrestling cartoon from the nineteen eighties, if
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: you have not heard, is returning to the WWE Vault
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: channel on YouTube, and they're going to release them in bunches.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: I think batches of four every Saturday morning, starting this morning,
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: because it's now officially Saturday morning. And I love that.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: I love that they were releasing them on Saturday morning.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: That's when I used to watch them when they would
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: come on TV. They did have them on Peacock for
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: a while or the network. It was one or the other,
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: and then something happened with Hogan. Trying to think if
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: it was maybe maybe it was the early days of
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: the network and when the Hogan sex tape and the
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: racist stuff leaked, maybe it was around then, but they
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: pulled it. So they had briefly put the episodes up
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: and then they pulled it. So now they're going to
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: start adding them to the vult channel on YouTube. So
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: Ray Phoenix is Ray Phoenix has a dope song, says
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: j L. Yeah, Ray Phoenix, who was on main event tonight.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: That's where Ray Phoenix was Ryan Awesome. In two thousand
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: and nine, TNA's roster was stacked. What if Edge would
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: have jumped ship to the Impact Zone and how would
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: he have fared. I think Edge would have fared fine.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, he would have had the same kind of
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: run that some of the other ex WWE guys had.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: He would have won some championships, would have made a
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: huge difference in terms of where TNA was. No, it
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have made any difference. Dude. They had Hogan come in.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: They had Hogan and Sting and Foley and Nash and
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: Flair and all these big names, and you know Edge
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: would have come in. He would have been another big WWE,
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: you know x WWE guy, and he would have had
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: some probably really good matches. But I don't think it
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: would have been He wouldn't have been like a needle
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: mover for them any more so than any of the
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: other names that I mentioned were. Kevin says commercials from
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: Hell do you think they will bring back page on
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: her Chris Van Vliet interview, she said she would love
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: to run with that character again, never saying ever, but
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like if they were interested in her that
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: they would have already brought her back by now. I
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: don't since there's a great interest there, do I think
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: that she will be back at some point, even if
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: just for some cameo appearances. Probably, yeah, But I don't
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: sense that they're itching to bring her back. Death Side
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: could Dark Side of the Ring Season seven feature Rick Rude,
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: buck Zumov, Ashley Massarohanna Komora, Ring Boy Scandal, Sean O'Hare,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: ninety seven, Little Rock, West Virginia, Memphis or West Memphis Riots. Yeah,
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: the d X Riots. I've talked about all this stuff
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: on the show. By the way, those are all potential candidates,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: and I think I've had many of those on my
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: own list. Buck Zumov is just an absolutely disgusting story
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: that is absolute the epitome of Dark Side of the Ring.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: Hana Kamora the only thing about Hana Kimura. It might
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: still be a little too fresh for people, but I
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: think Daphne passed away four years ago and they just
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: did a story on her so they could do something.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: When did Hana Kimura die? Was was that four years ago?
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: It's three or four years ago. Now it might still
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: be a little fresh. The Ring Boy Scandal. I don't
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: see the purpose in doing one on the Ring Boy scandal.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: At this point, most of the people that are you
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: know or you would want to have interviewed for it
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: are dead. The others who might still be alive, they
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: wouldn't talk to you anyway. And I just feel like
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: it's been rehashed so many times at this point. If
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: they haven't already done it, I just I don't see
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: the point. But Rick Rude and Ashley Massaro, Yes, absolutely,
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: Sean O'Hair, I could see Sean O'Hair. Oh, she died
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: in twenty twelve. Wow, Hanna Kamura has been gone for
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: five years. That's crazy. I remember covering that at the
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: time it happened. It was a very sad story. Dobs
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: VID's what would Bears be without bees? Ears? You and
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: the bees Sees? We go from bees to C's that's
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: his name, s E A S. Do you believe that EO?
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: Ski is the best wrestler in the world? And then
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: in parenthesis he says Mercedes doesn't come close. I haven't
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: seen all the wrestlers in the world. I know there
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: are some great wrestlers that are over right now. Some
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: Joshi wrestlers over in Japan. I know Mayui Watani exists
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: in the world. Eoski is among the best wrestlers in
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: the world. I can't say she's the best wrestler in
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: the world. She is among the best wrestlers in the world.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: Johnny Burney A J Lee returned hens fans aw dad
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: unserious people. Yeah, I'm not really sure what one has
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: to do with the other. But people are going to
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: do their their stick, so I just let them do
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: their stick. It's all very dumb. Charles Turner solo. Do
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: you remember the feud between Bobby Heenen and Guerrilla mond
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: Soon on Primetime Wrestling which led to the Bobby Heenan
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: Show with the point guetts I do. The Bobby Heenen
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: Show only lasted four episodes, so it wasn't around for
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: very long. I remember the episode of Primetime Wrestling where
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: Guerrilla mon Soon took a bump took a bump from
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Brawler and he got knocked to the ground.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: Big brawl broke out with the Brawler and Terry Taylor
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: duffs Vin's what is an Asian's favorite sitcom? Everybody loves Ramen, right, right?
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: What the fuck. What did I hit? Oh man, I
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: hit the wrong button. Everybody loves Ramen. I was gonna
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: give you the the dumb tiss, but I guess not.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Duffs. I inhaled some helium. There. We have
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: hit the goal, by the way, for a bonus round,
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: a bonus installment of be the Booker. Thank you guys.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: Let's do it, ladies and gentlemen. It is now time
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: to be the Booker. Peace on Hannah would be great. Sadly,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: not getting Julia EO or a few others as talking
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: heads would suck. Yeah again, I just don't know that
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: that's a story they want to tell right now. At
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: some point we get a season eight, season nine, then
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: I can see it all right, Beat the Booker. Time
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: we got some tag We're just talking about some tag teams.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the Heart Foundation and Demolition, but we're starting
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: out with uh, definitely not the greatest tag team of
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: all time. We are starting with Brizongo, Tyler Breese and Fandango,
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: and they will be taking on, oh my god, Breezongo
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: against the bushwhackers. We'd be whacking some bush here tonight.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want. I want no part
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: of this. That's awful. That's fucking terrible. I couldn't hit
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: that button fast enough. On the women's side, we have
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss. Where's Bliss? Bliss fan is very excited? We
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: have Alexibliss challenging who Alexa Bliss and Queen Zelina. Well,
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: one thing about that match is size wise height wise,
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: it's an even match, so at least it's not like
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: a mismatch where one is, you know, that much bigger
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: than the other. Brian Alex says, I love Bush. You
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: voted for him? Did you main event? Oh, it's the Ace.
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: It's the Ace, the president del Presidente of New Japan
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: Pro Wrestling in his own retirement year. Actually, Johnsen is
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: not the only one having a retirement year. Heiroshi Tanahashi,
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: Ben says, h Og Chicago cannot wait. Get your tickets.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: Got some fun stuff planned Friday night, November twenty first.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: I'll be there. I'll be back Chicago. I'm back inside
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: you November twenty first. All right, Hiroshi tana Hashi, the Ace,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: Prime Ace. Yes, when his knees were not jelly, I
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: can't the beast Mortos look at that mask. Why are
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: his ears coming out of his cheeks. He was realized,
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: how defm that mask looks. Look at his right eye sloping.
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: What a weird mask. Be a great match, though, Prime
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: Tanahashi against the Beast Mortos. That's a collision main event
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: anywhere in the world. Because you hit the second goal.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: We get to do this again, this time with stipulations.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: Round two fight all right. Our first stipulation here is
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: going to be barroom brawl. All right, We're going to
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: brawl in an actual barroom. That is the stipulation here.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: So keep that in mind because we're going to have
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: a barroom brawl with the What do you think with
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: the ladies a female barroom brawl? We should we do
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: a men's book. We'll do a men's I'll tell you what.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: You know what the men are going to curtain jerk tonight.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to do that first. We're going to do
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: a barroom brawl with the men and that's going to
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: open the show. Oh no, what have I done? Can
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: we undo what I just said? Now? We can't do that.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: It goes against the rules. The Great Collie in a
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: barroom brawl against seth Rawlins, seth Rawlins and the Great
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: Collie in a a like, I can't think of two
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: people and a stipulation that could just be so different
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: from each other. Great Collie Seth Rollins barroom brawl, which
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit either one of them. It's a good thing
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: that the men were not in the main event tonight.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: I'll just say that. I know Rowin. Look, Rollins had
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: a good match once from what I remember with Omas,
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: but a barroom brawl with a great colleague. Yeah, Seth
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: Rollins is not a magician. I'm sorry. Uh oh, look
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 1: what it is, everybody. We've got Tony Khan's dream match. Yes,
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: the dream has come true. It will be a dream
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: match for Tony Khan and the ladies. So he gets
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: the book now. You know, if it's a Tony Khan
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: dream match for the women, Mercedes is probably gonna come
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: up here. And she is in here. Mercedes is in here.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: Let's see what the dream match is for Tony. We
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: have Piper nivin. This was during her do drop phase.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: Yiper Niven against Emma is definitely not Tony Khan's dream badge.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: It sounds like Tony Kahan's nightmare. More like that, Tony
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: Khan is very disappointed in this match. Here I'm sure
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: he'd love to have another go at it, but that's
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: not how it works. We do have a tag team
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: match left. We're letting the tag team's main event tonight
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: Anarchy in the Arena. Well, look, if you're going to
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: have a main event stipulation, that is a main event stipulation.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: But with tag teams. See that's interesting. So two teams
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: that are going to be actually, you know what, it's
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: anarchy in the arena. So we kind of have to
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: throw in two more teams. We have to book four
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: teams in this match. Yeah, we need to book four teams.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: And I forgot that Darby set Jack Perry on fire.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're booking four teams here, Anarchy in
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: the Arena. Team number one, Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: the Dream Team former WWF Tag Team champions. As you
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: could see there, that's before he was the barber. Owen
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 1: Hart and Jeff Jarrett also with the Belts, they're in
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: that image. Look at those two. What a pair. Owen
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: Hart and Jeff Jarrett the dream Team. Ah yeah, Demolition
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 1: Acts and Smash. I love it. Now we're talking anarchy
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: in the arena here and the Steiner Brothers. You know,
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: I just realized, like I think, in every except the
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: Demolition one, every image they're holding in the image the
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: old WWF tag team title belts. That's still the best
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 1: design of those belts. But that is your anarchy in
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: the arena match. I like it. I love it. You
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: got Demolition, you got the Steiners, you got Owen Hart
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: and Jeff Jarrett. Who was the first team. I already
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: forgot the first team. That is an anarchy in the
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 1: arena match. See that worked out well this time. That
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: is a great main event. That is a great main event.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: What song is playing in the match? Ooh, that's a
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: good one. Welcome to the Jungle. I think we can
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: get the rights. Probably not right. I think welcome to
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: the Jungle would be an appropriate theme. We had some
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: good ones in there. Oh, the dream Team was the first. Yes,
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: the dream Team Demolition. The Steiner Brothers sold me, Owen
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: Hart and Jeff Jarrett. You sold me on the match
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: and Clone Force ninety nine. Who wins? Brian says, who
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: wins Demolition? Demolition are the Steiners? I'm going Demolition? Clone
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 1: Force Prayers to my barber. He got in a motorcycle
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: accident at three am days ago, and he is in
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: a coma right now. And I had found out today
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 1: since I had my appointment. That's a terrible way to
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: find out. You walk in there and they have to
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: tell you that whole story. That's terrior I hope he
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: pulls through. Was he wearing his helmet? I hope he
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: was wearing his helmet? But thank you Clone Force. See
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: that anarchy in the arena match, as the cool kids say,
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: would feed families. Well, the next time I'm with you
