WWE Raw 8/11/25 Review | FOUR STRAIGHT WEEKS of Main Events Marred By A Lazy DQ Finish · Solomonster Sounds Off

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: WWE was north of the border tonight. They were in
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Quebec City, So when you're in Canada, you can pretty
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: much bank that you're gonna get a really good crowd.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: There's a great crowd, great crowd in Quebec City, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we got some really good wrestling on the show, mainly
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: from EO Sky and Roxane Perez. That was a very
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: good match that those two ladies had tonight, and that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: is where the compliments end for this show. We had
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a tag team made event tonight. It was cmpunk in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: La Knight taking on bron Breaker and Bronson Reid. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and tell you that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I expected that there would.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Be a clean finish in this main event.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It would be nice, right, It's always nice to get
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a clean finish, but I can't really sit here and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: tell you that I was expecting one. I feel like
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I would have tolerated what we got tonight in that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: main event at the finish a little bit better had
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: we not gotten disqualification after disqualification after disqualification after disqualification.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Every single week on this show, Seamus comes out, he
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: talks about banger after banger. We could talk about DQ
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: after DQ. After DQ, I want to take you back
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to the gauntlet match that CM Punk one to earn
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Summer Slam. I remember that gauntlet match they did. CM
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Punk won that gauntlet. You would have to go all
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the way back to that gauntlet to find a main
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: event match on this show that actually ended clean with
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a clean, decisive winner. On July twenty first, technically even
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: though it didn't close the show, but the main event
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of the show. Main event match on the show was
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Vaquier and Eosky, and that match ended in a disqualification.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So then you fast forward to July twenty eighth, we
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: had Jay Usso against Bronson Reid, which ended in a disqualification.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You fast forward to August fourth, last week's show, you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: had seth Rawlins one on one against La Knight for
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Championship in a match that ended in
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a disqualification, And then we arrived tonight north of the border.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: CM Punk doesn't matter what country we're in. That doesn't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: seem to make a difference. We had Cmpunk in La
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Night against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and wouldn't you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: how did this match end? It ended in a disqualification
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and we had seth Rollins interfering in the match, which, honestly,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: as a match, it was fine. It was a good
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: main event until we hit the finish and then I realized, boy,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have suffered from deja vu. This
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: feeling washed over me as I watched seth Rawlins interfere
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in this match, and I said, boy, you know, it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: almost feels like I've seen this before. It's almost like
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'm watching a rerun. And so seth Rawlins and brown
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Breaker and Bronson Reed, they lay a beat down on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the baby Faces, and then jay Uso comes out and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he comes out with a chair to fight off the heels,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and then Adam Pierce comes out and Adam Pierce makes
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the announcement of the World Heavyweight Championship match that we
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: are going to get at the end of the month
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at Clash in Paris. Now, I was hoping that we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: would get a championship match and not some kind of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a six man tag because that would have been fucking lame, right,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and nobody wants to see that. CM Punk and La
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Knight both have valid reasons to want to get a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: rematch with seth Rawlins. CM Punk was champion for five
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: minutes at Summerslim and he got screwed out of the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight title. La Knight on last week's show got
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: screwed out of the World Heavyweight title when CM punk
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: interfered in his business. So it only makes that they
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: would stake their claim and maybe we would get a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. But we
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: can't have a triple threat match because we have to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: insert one more in person. And you would think, boy,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they're gonna put Roman Reigns in that match. I really
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: don't want to see that because I'd rather not have
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Roman in Seth in the ring together unless they're gonna
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: go one on one. Well, it's not Roman Reigns. You
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: don't got to worry about that. He may have a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: different match on that show. No, they put jay Usso
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in that to make it a four way match in Paris,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm sitting here and I'm going legitimately, and I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: know he's a former world champion and all that that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: was months ago. Legitimately, the only reason that Jay Usso
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is in that match in Paris is for his entrance.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: That's it. They want the crowd to yeat and people
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: have fun when they yeat. And remember the reaction he
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: got in in Leon, France the last time when they
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: had backlash last year.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That's the only reason that jay Uso was in that
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: main event at Clash in Paris because he really has
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: no business being in that match, but everybody is gonna
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: go yeat, and so he's got himself a World Championship
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: match and now we have a fatal four way on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that show, so that is official. And as far as
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what Roman Reigns is going to be doing, Look, the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: thing with Roman Reigns is that he's being advertised locally
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: anyway in Philadelphia for Raw next week, and he's being
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: advertised for the show the following week on the twenty fifth,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they're going to be in the UK, They're going to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: be in Birmingham, So unless he's there for a dark match,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: he's going to be back on Raw next week. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the thing that would make the most sense, and we
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: actually had a video package tonight specifically focused on Bronson
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Reid and talking about Roman Reigns and targeting Roman Reigns.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So it all fits together. He's been stealing the man's shoes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Roman reigns against Bronson Reed feels like the match for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Clash in Paris out if they wanted to hold off
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and push that match off for Perth because Roman's gone
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all of September. That's when he's filming Street Fighter. He's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not leaving yet, so it's entirely possible. I mean October again,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it's still two months away. But if he's gone for
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the entire month of September, then yes, it's possible we
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: could get that first Roman Reigns Bronze and redmatch for Perth.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's too far away. If he's back on TV next week,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that's the match, so Roman will likely be occupied with him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what bron Breaker does, but they'll figure
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: something out for him. But like, I'm watching this main
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: event tonight and just the laziness of what they do
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: where I sit here and I feel like I'm watching
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a rerun every single week. It's just the show is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: so creatively bankrupt right now. I mean, they shaved half
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: an hour off the show. It's not three hours anymore.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And then you have a week like this where again
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it feels like a slog to sit through the show.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And that's the way I felt about SmackDown on Friday.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here and I'm trying to debate, Wait,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: which was worse. I'm not sitting here trying to debate
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: which was the better of the two shows. It's like, no,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: which one was worse than the other, And so I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: have to go SmackDown just because we got better wrestling
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on Raw tonight. I mean, I can't honestly compare the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: two shows and say that there was anything on SmackDown
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that I remember being as good as the match that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Eosky in Roxane Perez had tonight.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So that's at least one point in favor of Raw.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: But man, so far, coming out of Summerslim, these shows,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: they do not inspire a lot of excitement when it
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: comes to Clash in Paris, for example. You know, it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: not like they didn't try to tell certain stories tonight.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You know, for example with Eosky and Osca and Kyrie
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: sayin right, I mean you could see where that's going.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: There's a rift forming there. I don't know if the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Kabuki Warriors are officially going heel or not, but like
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that's a direction they're taking. And that's fine. I mean
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: they've teased that now for several weeks. But I'm looking at,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you know, most of the rest of the show and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: whatever the stories are that are, you know, kind of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in progress right now, and then shit like we got
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: at the end of the show. I'm just like, this
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: is just this feels creatively bankrupt right now. Where's the excitement.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Where's the stories that are gonna grab you and make
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you want to tune in the following week? Man, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see what's gonna happen next week. There
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: really is no wondering. I know exactly what's gonna happen
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: next week. It's gonna basically be a variation of what
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we saw this week. But man, when I when I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: saw that main event finish and I realized that it
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was four fucking weeks in a row of that, I mean,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: there's just no excuse. There's no excuse, and it's all
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on triple H. No excuse that we were supposed to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: have a Women's World Heavyweight Championship match tonight and it
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: got pulled a few hours before the show because supposedly
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: medical did not clear Naomi. That's what they said publicly,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. They did mention on
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the show very briefly that Naomi was not medically cleared
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and she was not on the show tonight. She was
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: not in a backstage segment, she didn't do a run in.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: There was no other mention of her during the show.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what the issue is or the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: injury is, and so we'll leave it at that. Hopefully,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's nothing serious. It's nothing that would
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: necessitate her having to vacate the championship. I don't know
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if she got hurt, when that even would have happened,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So we have very little information so
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: far in the way of what's going on in Naomi.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But that is why EO Sky was wrestling Roxanne Perez
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and not wrestling Naomi for the championship tonight.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: But that match that EO.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And Roxanne had that was, honestly for me anyway, the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: highlight of the show, and credit to Roxanne. She was
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: great in the match, but crowd was super into EO again,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: which is great to see. Even though she's out of
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the world title picture right now. I mean, she was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: supposed to get a world Championship match, but she's not
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: really in the world title scene at the moment. Hopefully
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that momentum will carry over. But yeah, when this show
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was over, I was just like, eh, like, what are
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we doing here? What are we doing here? This is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: not great TV? It's not and the main event finishes
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: over and over again. Something has to be done. Okay,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: change it up. I'm begging you, please, for the love
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of God, just change it up. This is your raw
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: on Netflix review. It's Monday night, August eleventh, twenty twenty five.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I am the solemn monster. Like and subscribe. Super chats
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: are open. We have a bonus goal going onto the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: chap but on the likes end, you know, the drill.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Four hundred likes. It's the minimum that we're shooting for.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I do want to say thank you because we're very close.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: We are less than one hundred subscribe was away from
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: eighty eight thousand. What was it in Back to the Future,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: eighty eight miles an hour takes you to the future,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Take us to the future. Let's get to eighty eight thousand.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's the next goal. So thank you for getting me
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: very close. I don't know when we're gonna hit it. It
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: might be, it might be a little bit, but we'll
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: we'll get there soon enough. So thank you for that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Somebody in the chat said, do you think Naomi may
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: be pregnant. I don't know, nobody knows. It is interesting
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that you mentioned that, though, because she had done an
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: interview and this was many, many months ago. It was
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: definitely earlier this year, and I know maybe she was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: on some pot like the Bella's podcast, whatever it was,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: but she was talking about wanting to start a family
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and wanting to have kids and realizing that she's at
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: she's at an age now where if she's gonna do it,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: she's gonna have to do it soon. So that is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that is something to wonder. I don't just mean if
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: if that's the reason that she was pulled from the show,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: but even in the near term.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it's something that I think is.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Easy to forget sometimes on the women's side, which is
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that you do get to a certain age where you're
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: going to want to settle down and start a family,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if that is, if that is a goal of yours,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and yeah, the guys don't have to worry about that,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: because hey, it could be fucking forty years old. Forty
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: five years old. They could they could be wrestling into
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: their fifties. It doesn't matter. But for the women who
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: want to have kids and start a family, yeah, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: mean that is it is a consideration, and Naomi is
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: on record as saying that is something she would like
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to do. So I don't know that that has anything
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to do with this, but I guess we'll find out
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: soon enough, won't we.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: We don't know what we don't know.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: But the show opened tonight with Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They were at ringside.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: They announced that Naomi was not medically cleared, and so
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the Women's World Championship match that they advertised for tonight
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: was in fact not going to happen. It was canceled,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: at which point CM Punk made his way out to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the ring and Punk got a great reception. He said
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that the fans made it hard for him to be angry,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: but then he thinks about how there should be gold
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: around his waist right now, and he gets angry all
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: over again, says I have a Seth Rollins problem. Don't
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we all a few more finishes like that tonight? We're
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: all going to have a Seth Rollins problem. He added
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that Rollins is trying his best to be CM Punk
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but failing miserably. Punk recalled becoming champion for the first
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: time in WWE in over a dozen years. Punk said
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that defans thought he was relentless in his pursuit of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: his goals and he was obsessed with becoming champion. Then
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: he is even more obsessed with becoming champion and regaining
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the title, so he knew to hate the game and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: not the player. Punk's that he doesn't hate the game
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: because he's cashed in before, but he still hates the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: player that is seth Rowins. Punk said Rollins would not
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: have to pretend to be injured because he would get
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: his hands on him and he would break his leg.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So then La Knight's music interrupted, he headed down to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the ring. Knight held his hand out for a handshake,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: which Punk accepted, and Knight said that Punk was robbed
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: at SummerSlam and he deserves his rematch. But Knight recalled
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Punk attacking Rollins during the match last week, which cost
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: him potentially the World Heavyweight Championship and got him disqualified.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Knight said that he understood, but it was the wrong place,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: wrong time, so he said that he and Punk don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: have a problem, right, You and I are cool. He'd
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: like to keep it that way. He asked Punk to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: go after Rollins. Go ahead, do it, but do it
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: after the bell, and Knight said that Punk will get
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: his rematch after he gets his punk ass Night if
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he thought that he was going to become champion after
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Rollins stomped your head in like a coconut on the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: concrete last week, I saved you basically is what CM
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Punk was saying to him. He said, you're welcome, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he told him to get to the back of the line.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Knight said that when he thinks about what Punk did,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know as far as saying thank you, he said,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: thank is not the word that he would place in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: front of the word you, and he recalled Punk, saying
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: that there are levels to this. He said Punk is
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not on his level. Knight said he would do Punk
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a favor by forgetting last week clean slate. It's like
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: it never happened, so long as Punk doesn't let it
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: happen again. So the second favor was that after he
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: beats Rollins, who wins the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk can
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: be his first successful title defense. So then Paul Hayman
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: comes out right, we hear, ladies and gentlemen. He walks
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: out onto stage with bron Breaker and with Bronton Reed,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: who had bold pairs of Roman reins of shoes draped
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: over his neck. Hayman mocked the French fans by saying
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a few words in French and then saying that he
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: would do whatever it took to get out of their
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: province as quickly as possible so that he could avoid
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: their guttural language. Haym Un told Knight that he should
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: avoid getting into the favor business with CM. Punk said
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that doing so will take years off your life and
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: will cost you your tribal chief. Knight he had a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: great line in here where he called Bronson Reid a
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: walking foot locker. That amused me. Punk cut Hayman off.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: He said someone was gonna get punched in the face tonight.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He told Breaker and Reed to come on down. So
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Hayman said he did teach Punk well. He said that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they can make it Punk and Knight against Breaker and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: read right here tonight and l A. Knight said, look,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: we're not looking for Breaker and Reed. He didn't seem
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: very interested in that, But then Punk cut him off
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and said we accept and Night was not very happy
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: about that. He said Punk doesn't speak for him, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: then he accepted the challenge anyway. Hayman was ready to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: head backstage, Breaker though, was not, and bron Breaker begins
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to walk down the aisle because he's angry, and Bronson
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Reid and Paul Hayman they have to stop him and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: they have to restrain him. And this was the best
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: part of the entire segment. Bron Breaker is standing there
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in the isleway and he's looking into the ring. He's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: looking at CM Punk and he yells towards Punk, you're
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: forty seven. What are you gonna do? And he he
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: looks over at La Night and he says, you're forty
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: goes you guys are one hundred years old combined. The
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Steiner math is not mathing here. That's number one. But
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: those last fifteen seconds were the best part of the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: entire segment. It was a pretty paintbine numbers segment otherwise,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: but then bron Breaker just made it all worthwhile there
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: with that little rant there at the end. He's great
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: when he comes to the trash talking. It's definitely something
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I've noticed that he has done more of in the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: last several weeks, and I don't know if that's just
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: something that was suggested to him by Paul Haman because Hayman,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I know Hayman works very closely with him behind the scenes.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But I definitely hope he keeps doing it, because like
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: when he's got somebody down in a rest hold or
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a submission hold in the ring, it's at a tag match,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: he looks up at the partner he did it with Roman,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: it's Summer Slim. I think that's that's great. It's one
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: of the things I love about his whole act. But
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he's not wrong. I mean, when you combine their ages,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: they are actually eighty eight years old. It's not quite
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a hundred so, but combined they are eighty eight years old,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: only about five years younger than Rick Flair. So the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: whole point of this was to build tension between Punk
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and Knight and main event for the show, Candy Co exists.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I know, it's not like we haven't seen this before.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Backstage in the Judgment day Clubhouse, Finn Balor spoke with
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Raquel Roxanne, j D McDonough, Dominic Mysterio showed up with
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: El Grande Americano and the others were not very happy
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to see him. Why is he here? Who invited him
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: in here? Balor pulled Dom aside and said, look, I'm
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good at reading the room and the others don't
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: want him here, and dom said that it was part
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: of his strategy for Triple Mania this Saturday. Balor said,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it would be great if Americano could help
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you bring the Triple A Mega Championship back to the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Judgment day, so Dom and Americano they headed out. Balor
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: suggested to Riquel and Roxanne that they go speak with
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Adam Pierce about getting themselves a rematch for the women's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: tag team titles. That led to aj Styles and Dragon
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Lee against Dominic, Mysterio and El Grande Americano seventy five
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: percent of the Triple Mania main event right here in
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: this match. The only one missing was Vikingo having a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: four way for the Mega title on Saturday, so Dom
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: entered wearing a Lucha mask that he took off as
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: he headed to the ring. They also did they did
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: announce that Corey Graves and JBL not Conan. Conan is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: being inducted on Saturday into the Triple A Hall of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Fame by Raymisterio. So the announced team for Triple Mania
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: will be Corey Graves and JBL. They'll be doing the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: English commentary. And look, I know that JBL has made
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: a few appearances for Triple A earlier this year. Last
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: year he snuck into Triple Mania. He was a surprise
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: appearance on the show. I get all that, but the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: idea that JBL is going to be providing the commentary
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: for Triple Mania is just very funny to me. So
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Dragon Lee wiped out Americana with a dive before the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: match even started, and that gave the baby Faces the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: edge until they went to the commercial break. Dragon Lee
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: made a hot tag after the break, but the Heels
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: got the advantage again. This led to a second nine
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: minutes into the match. Americano ripped it Lee's mask during
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the second break, and he exposed a decent amount of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: his face. The match slowed down until it was time
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to come back from the break, as is usually the formula,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Dragon Lee hit Americana with a double footstop. Dominic yanked
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Styles off the apron to prevent a tag, but Styles
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: chased him around ringside and tackled him and a cameraman
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: over the barricade. Oops. Styles made a hot tag hit
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Americana with the fireman's carry neck breaker. Don broke up
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the cover, so Dragonly Monkey flipped Dominic right into a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Styles clash, which was actually a very cool spot. Americano, though,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: shove Lee off the top rope, so AJ gave him
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a reverse DDT. Outside the ring, Americano he tried slipping
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the little steel plate into his mask, but he was
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: climbing up to the apron before he got the plate in,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and so before he can get it in, AJ caught
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: him with an in zaguri and he drops the metal
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: plate on the floor, but sitting on the floor outside
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was dom Dom puts his lutram mask back on and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: then he slips the metal plate under his mask.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Now Aj is in the ring. The match is still
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: in progress.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Here Styles rolls up Americana, who kicks out, and when
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: he kicks out, that sends Styles into the ropes. Dom
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: is on the apron and he gives AJ a head
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: butt and so AJ is completely out of it. He
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: stumbles backwards and Americano rolls him up for the three count.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So this was a solid match. It was a long
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: match too, it lasted over fifteen minutes, and honestly, it
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: was probably better than solid. But the reason I say
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that it's a solid match and not a great match
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: is that it was a little hard to tell with
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: six minutes or seven minutes of fucking ads in the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: middle of it. So he was only solid. No real
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: surprise here, no real surprise here to see AJ take.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: The losing fall.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Think about it, like, seventy five percent of this match
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: is in the Triplemanium main event on Saturday. Why would
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: you beat any of these guys?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Why would you do that?
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: AJ loses. He had a cheat to beat him, So
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: it's not like it hurts AJ styles. All it does
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: is make him angrier and throw fuel on the fire
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: when he eventually gets his rematch for the IC title
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: against Dom. So the finish made all the sense in
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the world to me. But again, everything else I saw
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: here was perfectly solid. So earlier today, Sammy's ain was
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: talking to Adam Pears in the back and he asked
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: him if he had decided on a World Championship match
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: yet for Clash in Paris. I got bad news for you, Sammy.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid I've got some bad news You're not factored
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: into the equation here. He desperately wanted the match. He says,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I know I can be the world champion. He's like
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the little engine could. It's getting to the point now
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: where if he constantly says it on TV, he looks desperate.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Pierce said that he couldn't make any promises, but he
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: told Sammy to focus on Russev tonight and then they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: could talk about it. So Seamus walked in and Pierce said, look,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want you going after Rusev again. I'm not
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: going to have a repeat of what happened on the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: show last week. We're not going to have all the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: mass chaos and all the mass carnage that we had
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: on Raw last Monday. And Seamus goes, oh yeah, who's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: going to stop me? So Sammy butts in. He goes, look,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I know that you want to get your hands on Russev,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: but this match tonight is very important to me. So
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I'm asking you as a friend, please stay out of it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: And then Seamus agreed and he said, after the match
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is over, he's going to go after that bulgarian bastard. Backstage,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Eo Sky lamented to Adam Pierce about not getting her
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Women's World Championship match here tonight as promised Riquel Rodriguez
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and Rox Sane Perez. They showed up to mack her
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and EO said that she came to Quebec to fight,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: so Adam Pierce made the match after EO challenged Rock
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Sand It was going to be one on one that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: was coming up a little bit later on Sammy Zane
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: one on one against Russev. This was in Sammy's home province,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: so you can imagine the reaction that he got. He
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: was on SmackDown on Friday. They were or were they?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: They were in Montreal and he got a great reaction there.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So he got another one tonight. Zayanne hit an Arabian
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: press to the floor, crowd popped. Russev though cut him
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: off with a Urinagi. Zayn made a comeback after a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: break and hit a Tornado DDT. Sammy went for a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Halluva kick, but Russev cut him off with a Machka
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: kick for a two count. Sammy avoided the accolade, he
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: got a schoolboy that didn't work. Rusev avoided the exploder
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and he hit Sammy with the ten beats I guess
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: just to piss off Seamus. The ten beats of the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Bulgarian I guess installed for too long though, So Sammy
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: hit an exploder in the corner, and then the camera
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: zoomed in super tight on Sammy as he was setting
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: up for the Halluvia kick. And when that happens, it's
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: because they don't want you to see what's going on outside.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Something is about to happen, and sure enough, and boy,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: this certainly lit my world on fire today.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: This got me excited.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: You know what, I should change my whole opinion of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this show and flip it from a thumbs down to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a thumb's up. Because guess who showed up here? As
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I feared. I talked about this in the SmackDown review
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: on Friday night. Guess who showed up for the disqualification
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the favorite finish for Paula bec It was the MFTs.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Solo's Sokoa and his MFTs. They showed up on Raw
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: tonight and they dragged Sammy out of the ring. This,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of course, was payback for Sammy pinning Sola. If you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: missed it, even though Sammy's Ain's on Raw, it doesn't
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: matter anymore. Of course, there is no brand split anymore.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So La Night now, I guess is officially on Monday
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Night Raw. Great, that's where he should be. Sammy's ain.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: He was on SmackDown because they were in Montreal. Fine,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: who gives a shit. But it's a little weird because
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: he is technically a raw star and he pinned the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: United States champion. Now, when you pin a champion on TV,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you best be getting a title shot because otherwise that's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: pretty fucking stupid. So this was payback for him pinning
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Solo Socoa on Friday night. They put the boots to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: him outside on the floor. Officials run down to chase
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: them away. So off go the the MFTs. Stop provoking
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: these things into existing. Look, I just common sense. I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: figure we're going to see them on Monday night, because
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: they had already announced that Sammy was wrestling Russev. I said,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: these fucking guys are going to show up on a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: row Monday night, and then there they were. So anyway,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the crowd was not happy about this, but then they
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: were when Seamus appeared out of the crowd. He caught
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Russev with a knee strike. Seamus then tossed a security
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: geek over the announced desk before brawling with Russev through
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the crowd and out of the arena. Michael Cole made
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a comment in all this. He said that Sammy's Ain
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: might have gotten himself closer to a title match had
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he won. Yes, a United States Championship match, not a
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight championship. Man. Now is not the time to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: be doing Sami's Ain going after the World Heavyweight Championship.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna do it, you save that for the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: end of the year, going into the Royal Rumble and
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: maybe heading into WrestleMania. And there are even some people
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: that don't want to hear that. That is one of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the stories though that I think we will likely said.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of different options. Well, it's more than
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a couple. But you can talk about Punk, you can
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: talk about Roman. I think the Sammy story would be
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a nice story to tell if they tell it properly.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's a story that could work, but it's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: not a story to be told now. The United States
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Championship is what he should be challenging for because he
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: pinned the champion. Now, I know every Everyboddy fucking pins solo,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: so so it doesn't matter I may have a pinfall
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: win over Solo so COO. I don't remember, but that's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: where Sammy's ain't appears to be heading now after the match,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and I think it came during the commercial break, So
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: if you weren't watching during the break, or you didn't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: have your VPN or whatever, you may not have seen it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: But after the match, there was an amusing shot of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Michael Cole and Corey Graves. They had the camera on
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the announcers their ringside and they're talking in the background.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Right behind them, right in front of the barricade.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Right behind them on.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: The floor is the security guard that was thrown over
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the desk by Shamus, and he is laying there and
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: he's in pain, and Michael Cole is just talking and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: moving on to the next segment, and Corey Graves has
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to stop him and say, uh, hello, he got this
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: guy over here because Cole didn't even notice him. He
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: looks down and he goes oh. He goes, yeah, I
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: don't care about that guy because he hit me in
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the elbow. So basically, fuck that guy. That was Michael
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Cole's attitude. He didn't give a shit about this guy.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Adam Pierce and security are backstage now. Solo beat Socoa
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: in Japan. Brother man, I've been all over the place.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was in Japan.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I'll have to check my record and see if I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: have a win over Solo. So maybe we got Boots
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: in the chat. I'm pretty sure Boots has a win
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: over Solo. So so Adam Pearce is in the back
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: now and he and security are leading Solo's crew out
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of the building. That's the last we saw, Thank god
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: of the MFTs. Now. Pierce is also on the phone,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: seemingly yelling at the SmackDown general manager Nick All this
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: about his men showing up on his show, as if
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: this doesn't happen every week, his men showing up on
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: his show. He gets interrupted by another referee who runs
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: over to inform him that we have finally separated Russev
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and Seamus, and Pierce says, are you sure, because he
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: did such a great job last week, go back and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: confirm it. Just make sure that you have in fact
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: separated them. And I guess they did, because we didn't
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: see or hear from Seamus or Russev for the rest
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of the night last week. They kept cutting in right,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and they were brawling all over the building. That didn't
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: happen this week, so the referee ran off. Then Pierce
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: was interrupted by Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Grayson Waller,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and Woods was very upset because Penta last week ruined
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: his twelve thousand dollars hat, his Black Morning hat. So
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Pierce said that Woods could take it up with Penta
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: in a match on next week's show. This is now
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: where they aired the Bronson read video promo video that
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier. He said that he became a big
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: star because he attacks Rolins. Reed said that he earned
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Rollin's respect and he was invited into the Vision. Reid
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: said that he doesn't want Roman Reins his respect. He
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: said he punked out Rains twice and the only reason
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that it hasn't happened a third time is because Roman
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: hasn't stepped up. Reed said that it will keep happening
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: until Roman acknowledges his tribal thief. So there you go.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I mean Roman, whenever he.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Comes back, and if he is likely in Paris, that's
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the match, not a tag match. Roman reigns against Bronz
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and Reed trying to get his shoes back the sneakers
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: are on the I can imagine what he must have
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: paid for those sneakers. They may as well attach one
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of those Tony Kahn stipulations to the match, you know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars match.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean those some of those shoes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Who knows it could be one hundred thousand dollars worth
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: of sneakers right there. But that's clearly the direction that
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: they're headed in, and I'm okay with that. And maybe
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: it's a case where Roman beats Reed one on one
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and then they build to Roman and bron Breaker one
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: on one. You know, maybe that could be the match
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: in Perth. So Eo Sky was shown walking backstage when
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: she encountered the Kabuki Warriors and Kyrie Say said that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: they were sorry about EO losing her title match tonight.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Oscar said that they could be in EO's corner, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: EO said, I've beaten Roxane before I could handle her again. Thanks,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: but no thanks, and off to the rings. She went
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: for her match one on one with Roxane Perez. EO
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: was in control. She wiped out Perez and Raquel outside
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: with a suicide dive, although Raquel took the brunt of
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the impact. Perez just popped right back up and attacked
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: EO from behind to get the heat. Maybe I don't know,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: maybe Eo was only supposed to hit Raquel, but she definitely,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you know, took both women out.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: It was just weird sing roxand just pop up like
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: nothing there. Eo made her come back after the commercial break.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Roxane brought Eo down off the top rope at one
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: point with her karana. Perez caught Eo with a knee
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: drop for a two count. The referee was distracted by Raquel,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: so Perez raked EO's eyes and then hit a shining
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Wizard covered her but only got two and again. The
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: crowd was super behind Eo here, so like every near fall,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Eo would kick out, place would go nuts, Eo would
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: pop up, she would do that the pose that she does,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and everybody loses their minds. She's fucking great. That's why
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I say like her and Gunther. If I had to
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: pick two favorites right now, male and female in WWE,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and frankly, it doesn't even matter. I mean male, male
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: or female. The two best wrestlers in WWE right now,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned Gunther and Eosky. Those are
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: my two. So it's great that she is still as
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: over as she is no matter where they go. Hopefully
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: that long may ca continue. But Roxanne, I don't want
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to take anything away from her because she was doing
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: really well in this match too. So again the referee
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: was distracted by Raquel. We had the eye rake there by.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Roxanne Perez put EO in a cross face, but EO
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: eventually slipped out and hit a backbreaker for a two count.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: EO then hit a springboard moonsalt outside to take out
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: both women right in front of the announced desk and
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: then back in the ring. This was the only hiccup
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: of the entire match. EO went for her genius of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the sky moonsalt and Roxanne got her knees up, but
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it didn't really matter because what happened was EO was
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: and this is rare for EO, but EO was off.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: She did not land in the position that she had
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: intended to, and so she did not connect with Roxanne's
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: knees at all, her knees, her boots, nothing. Instead, EO
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: when she came down, she drove her knees right down
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: into Roxanne's chest and at first glance, I thought she
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: landed right on her face, and Roxanne grabbed her face.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, but it was more like the chest.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I think where she landed it did it look like
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a fun landing. But she was supposed to land on
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: the knees she didn't. But then she sold it anyway.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: She sold it like she hurt her own knees because
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: she wasn't supposed to go for the pins, So what
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: are you going to do? Right, She's selling that she's hurt.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: So both women were down as Raquel distracted the referee
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: for a second time. Here comes Oscar and here comes
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Kyrie sing, and they go after Roxanne and they're holding
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: her on the apron and in comes Eo. Roxaneo ducks
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: out of the way and EO stops short. She puts
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the brakes on before she collides with her friends, but
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: then Perez shoves EO into Oscar and Kyrie, knocking.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Them off the apron.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Roxanne rolls EO up while holding the tights and she
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: gets the wind and EO was very upset after the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: match as she gazed down upon her friends on the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: floor rings. This was a very good match, the best thing,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the best match on the entire show, and there were
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: several good matches on this show. Honestly, the wrestling, the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: inn ring wrestling is what carried this show, and it
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: was nothing out of this world. But as far as
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the wrestling goes, this was the highlight of the night
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: right here, even with the botched Moon Salt spot, and
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the crowd was super into it. Rocks End's ye know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it's funny on commentary they're talking about how you know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: she's the prodigy and she's Booker T's star pupil from
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Reality of Wrestling and far advanced for her years, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: even though she hasn't been doing this very long and
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: she's you know, she's still relatively young, she works like
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a veteran and there's a lot of truth to that,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: you know, when I'm watching her in the ring, it
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: kind of feels that way, you know. So she's very
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: good and EO obviously is one of the best in
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the world. So I don't know what kind of match
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: EO and Naomi would have had one on one. It
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: might it might have been very good, it might have
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: been only good. I think we probably ended up getting
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the better in ring match of the two honestly, So
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: it's a shame we didn't get the Naomi match, but
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: they more than made up for it. I know the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: World Championship wasn't on the line, but no one was
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: expecting EO Sky to win the belt back. I mean,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: let's be i you you're fucking lying if you thought
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: that Eo Sky was winning that championship back tonight. So really,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: what what did we really lose in that regard? Now
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: in the back later on, this is where the storytelling
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: aspect comes into play here in the back later on,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: there's a very upset EO Sky who confronts Osca Kyrie,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: saying is kind of in between them, trying to play peacemaker. Here,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Eo blames Oscar for the loss. Right, she told them thanks,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: but no thanks, right, she didn't need their help, She
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: didn't ask for them to come out there. So she shoves.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: She gives her a shove, or Oscar does rather. She
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: gives Eo a show, and Eo is shocked, and so
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: is Kyrie, and Osca just walks off, and Kyrie just
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: she looks at Eo. She looks in Oscar's direction. She
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do. Then ultimately she walks off
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: with Oscar. Then again later in another segment, EO is
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: just completely depressed. She's walking through the backstage area. She
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: runs into Stephanie Vicaire and Stephanie is getting these roles
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: where she's in the back for like ten seconds. Again,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: we need more Stephanie Vicaire on these shows. But all
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: she did on this show was she ran into EO
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and she said to her, you're not the only one
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: who is ODA World Championship match, and she walked off. Goodbye, Stephanie.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: EO kept walking. Ria Ripley shows up, big pop from
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: all the fans in the arena, and Rhea tried reasoning
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: with EO and asks her if she really feels like
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: she could trust Oscar and Kyrie. ANDEO says she knows
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: what she's doing and she doesn't like it. She didn't
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: like the implication, and she told her stay out of it.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: So are we going to get Oscar and Kyrie going heel?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Probably the real issue seems to be between Oscar and EO,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and less so Kyrie because in all of these segments
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: that they've done teasing some sort of jealousy or dissension,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: you know, because Oscar is always the one right making
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: the comment like, oh your friend, where's your friend? RIEA. Ripley? Right?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: And then tonight it was like, hey, we'll come out
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: there with you. That was Oscar's suggestion, and EO said no,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: she declined, and then we had the miscommunication and then
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: so things are breaking down very quickly here. It could
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: be a case where Oscar goes hel, Kyrie's kind of
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: caught in the middle, or they'll just both turn heel
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: and they'll fucking attack.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: EO one of these weeks.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: But it felt to me, even a couple of weeks ago,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: like the direction here, especially for Rhea.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: What's Ria gonna?
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I've been asking that question, what do you do with
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Rhea Ripley until we get to Perth in October? Because
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: she'll be challenging for the championship at some point in
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Perth in October, no doubt in my mind, what do
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: you do with her in the meantime? She's one of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the most popular stars they have. You got to get
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: her on the show. Well, this is it. She's right
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: in the middle of all this drama with Osca and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Kyrie and EO, and it's building to a tag team match.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna get Ria, Ripley and Eosky against the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Kabuki Warriors. The only question is when and where do
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: they do that? In Paris? Right, that'd be a great
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: match to do in Paris. I just don't know, because again,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Triple H likes to keep those shows very tight. You're
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: not gonna have that many matches on the show, and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are going to be contested for
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: a championship. Is there going to be room to do
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a match like that?
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: There should be.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: There absolutely should be Rhea, Ripley and Eosky or two
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: of the biggest stars in the entire roster. You don't
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: need a championship involved to get them on a show
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: like that. That should be the pl match. And so
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: for Rhea, that's how you kind of bridge the gap
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: and kill time between now and then, and then eventually
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: we can get Eo Sky one on one with Oscar.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: That's the match I'd like to see. That's the match
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for. I mean, you could throw Kyrie in
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and make it a triple threat. I don't need it
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: to be a triple threat. Just give me Eo and
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Osco one on one. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: These days, it feels like there's advice for everything. Eat this,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: don't eat that. Try a cold plunge in the morning,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: it'll make you feel good. Try this sleep technique, on
• 42:36

• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Jackie Redmond in the back interviewed ja Uso. He said
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: it hurt him to miss raw last week and it
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: hurt him to see what happened to Roman Reigns said
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: he missed raw because he had family business to take
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: care of. Jay put Rollins and the bron Bronze on notice.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: La Knight interrupted. He noted that people thought Jay was
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: conspicuous by his absence last week. People thought that, but not.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: La Knight told him that the line for the World
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Championship and to get their hands on seth Rollins starts
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: behind him, and so Jay offered to put Night at
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: the back of the line. So this was their way
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: of interjecting Jay Uso into something that honestly he didn't
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: really need to be a part of. But this is
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: what set the whole thing up. Here, we have Becky
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Lynch against Maxine Duprex for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, and
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I was wondering too, because yeah, they were in Canada
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: tonight and Naddy is the one who threw the challenge
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: out last week. And then Becky was like, no, no, no,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I want wrestle you. I'll wrestle her, I'll wrestle Maxine.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm watching this and I'm like, man, why wouldn't
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: you want to do Becky and Natty in Canada? But
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Maxine Dupree obviously is the stepping stone, right She's round one,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: so this was round one. Lynch mocked Maxine told her
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: to get out of her ring, and Dupree look like
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: she was going to. She looked like she was about
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: to leave the ring. Instead, she gave Becky an arm drag.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Lynch took over anyway and hit multiple sup plexes. Maxine
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: countered though a man handle slam into a stunner. She
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: applied an ankle lock, but Becky rolled out of it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: That led to Maxine doing a very oddly timed cartwheel
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: here in the middle of this match, just showing off,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: and then she booted Becky into the corner. Maxine hit
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: a flying crossbody for two. Then she hit a spin kick.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: It didn't look great, but she tried. Then they traded cradles.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Becky tried stealing a win by grabbing the bottom rope.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Referee caught her, though Lynch applied to disarm her moments later,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and Maxine very quickly tapped out, so Becky retains. And
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: when the match was over and Natty got into the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: ring to check on Maxine and then Becky booted her, so,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: as expected, Becky Lynch against the Italia. That's likely going
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: to be the next match. Again, Maxine was she was
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: the warm up, is what she was. She was the
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: appetizer to the main course here, which was Becky Lynch
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: against Natty. Right, that's really the match that they're building
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: to here. Actually, the match they're really building too is
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella, which we'll probably be in Paris,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: but before we get there, I'm sure we'll get Becky
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: against Natty on raw. Look, Maxine, we don't get to
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: see Maxine very often. We don't get to see Maxine
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: very often period, let alone in the ring. Clearly she's
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: improved from where she was. I don't know a year ago.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I've lost all concept of time here because this woman
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: never ever gets in ring time on this show. She'll
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: get a cameo in the Women's Royal Rumble, she may
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: be in a Battle Royal every now and then. She's
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: not factored into anything meaningful on this show. So I
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: couldn't even tell you. I mean, I think she was
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: in the Battle Royal at Evolution. I could be wrong,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: but beyond that, I couldn't tell you the last time
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I saw Maxine Dupree in a match. Like supposedly her
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: and Natty were getting put together as this new tag team,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: and they came up with a name, the Dungeon Dolls.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: We haven't seen them. When was the last time we
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: saw the Dungeon Dolls on raw Never? I don't think,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: in the history of the fucking show. So we don't
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: get to see her very often. I don't really have
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: anything to compare it to. And the problem for her
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: is she's improved a little bit, I guess, but you're
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: only going to improve so much if you're not being
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: given ring time. Like they even made the effort on
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: SmackDown at least to try to get BFAB in matches.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: They don't even do that with Maxine. And they don't
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: run house shows anymore. Right, It's very rare that they're
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be on a European tour in a couple of
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: weeks and they've got a bunch of live events, but
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: that's rare. They really don't do house shows hardly at
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: all anymore. And Mark Shapiro of TKO has said they're
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: going to scale down even more next year, so at
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: some point there will be no house shows anymore. I
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: don't know how someone like Maxine dupree unless they send
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: her back to NXT for a short run down there
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: is supposed to get reps and actually improve. I'm sure
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: she's training, and she's probably in the ring with Natty
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: and that's great, but you can't replicate being in the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: ring in an actual match in front of a live
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: crowd by doing stuff like that. So I don't know
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: how she's supposed to improve beyond the level that she's
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: at now if she's not actually allowed to wrestle matches.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I don't really understand how that's supposed to work. But
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: as far as her role on this match, she did fine.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: That seth Rollins met with his crew backstage, and he
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: was in very good spirits because he thought that he
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: would have to deal with Sea I'm Punk in La
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Night tonight, but instead they had to deal with bron
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Breaker and Bronson Red instead. And like I'm listening to
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: him say this, and I'm just thinking, like, you, you
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: share a fucking locker room with these men, It's not
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: that hard for them to track you down and jump
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: your ass right there in the backstage area. Like, I
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. I could pretty much
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: kick your ass anytime they want Rollin said that I
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: guess my job is done here, so he left to
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: head for the personal jet to get out of Quebec City.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: There was an extended video feature here on Bailey. It
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: was actually very well done. Who was talking like she's
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: at a crossroads in her career. She looked like she
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: was about to cry multiple times here and you could
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: hear it in her voice. She said that she's been
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: doing this for a long time, thirteen years. She wanted more,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: but she felt less, She felt nothing. She was called
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a role model long before she ever started calling herself one.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: She wanted to be that person that people looked up to.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: But now here she was all by herself. Everything that
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: led up to now has gotten her nowhere. She couldn't
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: remember the last time she felt proud of herself, and
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: it was her own fault and the camera it went
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: out of focus a little bit here and she was
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: acting like she had a headache or something, and then
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: the shot went black and then all you heard in
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: the background was that that heel cackle. Remember when she
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: used to do those ding dung hello segments. That that's
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: what it's from, that heel run. So they played that
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: little sound effect there at the end. They're clearly teasing
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: a heel turn, but they made it a little too obvious,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: you know, when they played that sound there at the
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: end of the segment. I would have left that part out.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a mistake to have that in there.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: It really wasn't necessary. I thought the rest of the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: video was well done, and that has me, you know,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: curious as to where they go next. Do we get
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: more videos like this? Is there just going to be
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: a new Bailey the next time we see her in
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the ring? Or are they going to slow the bill
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: to it? So I thought the rest of the segment
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: was very good, but it didn't need that last part there.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: So they come back live to Jackie Redman. She's in
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: the back with Lyra. Valkyrie asked her about the video,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: and Lyra hoped that Bailey was okay. She was kind
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: of caught off guard, a little rattled by the video.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: She had no idea what was going on with Bailey
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: and said that she would not have known because Bailey
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: shut her out. And Lyra was struggling with how to
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: react to this, and she refused to accept any sort
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: of responsibility or that any of this was her fault.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: She said Bailey was the reason that she couldn't challenge
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: for the Intercontinental title anymore. So she said this is
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: not my fault, and Bailey is on her own. She's
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: like the female Snitzky. Now it's not her fault. The
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: main event was CM Punk and La Knight against bron
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Breaker and Bronson Reid. The baby Faces were in control
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: until the used a distraction to take over during the
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: commercial break. Night came back a Breaker, though knocked him
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: over the announced desk with his leaping clothesline off the apron.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: That led to a second commercial break. Less than ten
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: minutes into this match, we had two breaks. Night began
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: crawling for the hot tag as Breaker was stalking outside
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: the ring to go after Punk. Punk saw it coming,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: so a Breaker backed off, but that meant that Knight
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't make the tag When he tried to, The Bronze
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: gave Knight the old Steiner Brother's top rope Bulldog. Punk,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: though broke up the pin attempt. Punk finally made the
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: hot tag and he hit Breaker with a leg lariat
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: and vertical suplex. Reid was about to go after Punk,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: but Knight intercepted him with the baseball slide. Punk hit
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Breaker with a flying elbow drop and then called for
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: the go to sleep, but of course he didn't go
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: to the jet. Here comes Seth Rollins and he runs
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: into the ring. He attacks Punk for the disqualification for
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: the fourth straight week on this show. The final match
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: of the night ends in a DQ and these fans
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: were not happy, and I don't blame them so because
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: it's really just rinse repeat with this show. That's what
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: it feels like. It is rinse repeat every single week
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: with this show. So the Heels attacked until Jay Usso
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: entered to his music. He attacked Breaker with a steel
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: chair in the aisle. Rollins bailed before Reid swatted the
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: chair away from Jay. Jay fought him off anyway and
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: knocked him out of the ring, and then Jay stood
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: tall in the ring with Cmpunk in La Night when
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Adam Pierce walked out, and Pierce walked out on stage
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: and he told Rollins, you are going to have to
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: defend your World Heavyweight Championship in Paris. You're gonna have
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to defend it not just against one person, You're gonna
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: defend it against multiple individuals. You're gonna defend your world
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Heavyweight championship. He set against Jay Usso, You're gonna defend
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: your World Heavyweight Championship against and you are going to
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: defend your World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk and it
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: is going to be a fatal four way match and seth.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Rollins obviously was not very happy about this development.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: So Punk was so happy.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: That he celebrated by shaking the ropes like the ultimate Warrior.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Knight was less enthused. He argued with Punk. Knight shove Punk,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Punk then tackled him. Jay Usso was watching all of this.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Jay tried to pull Night off of Punk, so Knight
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: gave him a back elbow. Punk set up Night for
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: a go to sleep, but he got speared by Bron
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Breaker and Rollins and his crew. They beat up all
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: the dumb baby faces. Breaker ran around the ring, He
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: spared La Night out on the floor. Reid gave Jay
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: a death valley driver and then a tsunami splash, and
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: then Rollins stomped Knight as he re entered the ring,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: and then he stomped j and then Breaker and Reed.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: They're holding CM Punk down on his knees and Rollins
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: is looking down at Punk. He's talking shit to him
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: and then Rollin's stomps punk and the vision they celebrate
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: as Raw goes off the air. The main event I
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: thought was going along fine until the stupid finish, the
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: very stupid, predictable finish. Uh. And as I said earlier,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: it's not even that I would have necessarily, under normal
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: circumstances expected a clean finish in a match like this,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: because they probably don't want to beat bron Breaker or
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Bronson read right now after're you know, getting read ready
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: for Roman reigns. And it would have been easier to
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: accept and swallow if if they just weren't so goddamn
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: lazy every week with these finishes. I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: It is such a lazy cop out to do that
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: every single week, and they know their audience is just gonna,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: you know, lap it up, because oh whatever, right, we
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: got our moments, you know, we get we get to
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: see all the big.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Stars, and so who gives a shit?
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: You know, not not everybody feels that way, but enough
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: people feel that way that they just feel like, well,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: we can do whatever we want. We can be as
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: lazy and put in you know, you know, the just
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: very basic minimum amount of effort here of thought into
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: what we want to do on these shows, and that's
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: why you end up sitting here on a lot of weeks,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: as I am sitting here right now after the last
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: three or four weeks with this feeling of just like
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen this story before. I feel
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: like this is not the first time I've seen this,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: and that's not good. It's not a problem, by the way,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: that's limited just a Monday night Raw, but it has
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: been a Monday night Raw problem for the last four weeks.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: So now we have this four way in Paris again.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know that anyone expects that the outcome is
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: going to be anything other than Seth Rollins retaining the
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championships. So you look at this and go, Okay,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: they're not just gonna pin CM punk again. Who is
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: in there to take the losing fall? Now you may
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: hear this and go, well, that's why Jay Uso is
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: in there. Jay Uso is in there to take the
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: losing fall. See I don't think so. I think La
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Knight is in there to take the losing fall, and
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: they'll just beat him again because they have a lot
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: more invested in Jay Uso and look at jay Uso
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: is a bigger star than they do. La Night, La Knight,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: to me and their eyes is the expendable one. So honestly,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: if anybody other than La Knight takes the losing fall
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: on that match, I would be shocked. I think the
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: only reason jay Uso realistically is in this match isn't
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: even to take the losing fall. I think it's to
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: do this and get the entrance and come through the
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: crowd in Paris and everybody will be eating and it'll
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: be one of those moments that they love so much.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: It's all about moments, and that's why he's in this match.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: He really has no business being in this match. This
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: was an issue of Punk and Knight and it should
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: have been a triple threat match. But what else are
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: they going to do to get jay Uso on the show? Right?
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: They want to get him on the show, Well, this
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: is their way of getting him on the show. Overall,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: this is a very dull episode of Raw EO Rock Sande.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: That's the end ring highlight. There was other good wrestling
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: on the show. The main event had some good wrestling.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: The Aja tag match with AJ and Dragon Lea against
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Grande Americano and Dom. There was some good wrestling there too,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: but just everything else in terms of the segments and
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the storytelling, it just felt like nothing really hit for
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: me tonight. Yeah, I'm interested to see where the EO
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and Oscar stuff goes, but beyond that, it's just rinse, repeat,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: rinse repeat, paint by number shit with this show. This
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: was not a great episode of raw. This this was
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: not a great period of SmackDown in raw coming out
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: of SummerSlam week. I am not impressed. How would you
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: greade raw? From Quebec City. Twenty five point eight percent
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: of you have given this show an A grade, Uh,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: thirty four point seven percent give it a B, twenty
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: one point four percent give it a C, and on
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: the report card eighteen percent give it a D. At
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Solo Monster on Twitter is where you can go. All
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: you professors out there, you can go give them whatever
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: grade you think they deserve. It was definitely not an
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: a show. Let's take a look at your super chance.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I swear if we get another disqualification at the end
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: of the show last next week, I just I'm gonna
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: lose it. I'm gonna just fucking lose it. You imagine
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: five weeks in a row, they give us a main event,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: DQ finish start with d Site says, I hate this
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: stigma that wrestlers who are in their late thirties or
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: forties can't be top stars because look at DDP and
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: WCW or aj Styles when he came to WWE, or
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhoads when he came back to WWE. What are
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: your thoughts? I mean, who's saying that. Who's saying that
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: guys in their late thirties can't be top stars? I
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: think most of their top stars are in their late thirties,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: early forties. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, how old is Jay
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: usso right, he's got to be getting up there, La Knight,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: CM Punk. I don't know how old is Drew McIntyre.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: What's he up to? Rollins? Rollins is probably forty. I
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: think that's pretty much the average age of all their
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: top stars right now in WWA. I think the idea
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: is that if you are someone who is of that
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: age who's only first now getting a big push, or
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: if you're relatively if you're a relative and this is rare,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: if you're like a relative newcomer or rookie who's getting
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: in very late. That's that's rare though, like DDP is
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: a rare case. I don't think DDP had his first
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: match until he was thirty five, So he's the exception,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: He's not the rule. But yeah, I mean the idea that,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: you know, wrestlers who are of that age can't be
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: top stars. The idea is that if you are of
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: that age and have not been pushed previously as a
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: top star, they may be less likely to want to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: first give you that level of push because if they
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: look at you and go, we need somebody who we
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: can build around for five to ten years, are they
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: more likely to do that with someone who's forty or
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: are they more likely to do that with someone who's
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: thirty three? Right, Damian Priest. Also, Damian Priest, I think
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: is forty or forty one? Penta is forty. A lot
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: of these guys who are already of that age. Dry
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Chicken says after watching WWE Unreal, the creative team in
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: the writer's room are bland, like a pasta dinner without
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: any tomato sauce. It's time for the WWE talent to
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: step up their imagination and start giving some creative input
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: with the creative team for their storylines. How do you
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: know they're not already doing that. We don't know if
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: they are or not. And you gotta be careful when
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: you say that, because there are talents that will give
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: ideas that are even worse than the ideas that WWE
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: is pitching. Putting creative power into the hands of talent
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: isn't always a great thing. I think it's good for
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: everybody to have input. They could offer ideas and suggestions.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: I think that's fine. Dry Chicken says a Killer Cross
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: in Darby Allen program on AW Television would be cinema.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Let's will it into existence. I don't think he would
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: be a good fit for AW. I don't I think
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Tony might push him out of the gate and then
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: he'll just get bored with him and he'll be fucking
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Lance Archer on that show.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think AW is a good.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Fit for him at all. We got GMB no chance,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: but most likely to go Heal Cody or Bianca Byanca
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: more than Cody of the two Bianca Nick Grosso. What
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts on WWE possibly running a main roster
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: pl on the same day as All Out that's typical
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: petty wwe bullshit. I mean, are you really surprised, I
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: mean they do it on purpose. We know this already,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: just them being petty assholes. I knowb He says, Bron
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: slipped up on his math while shouting punkin Knight's combined age.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Better holler uncle Scott for a little math lesson. Yeah,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: I'd be down for that. EV and m thank you
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: for the thirty dollars drop ashure. Let's take a look
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: at what he said here. I wanted to come in
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: and celebrate my birthday with you and the family tonight,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: but I found out my aunt passed away yesterday. Oh no,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: my heart was already heavy heading into today, but yesterday
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: broke me. I thank you and the family very much. Well,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: I'm very sorry to hear that. I think we're all
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: very sorry for your loss. I will wish you a
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: happy I know it's not very happy for you, but
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: I'll wish you a happy birthday anyway, and hopefully you
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: can take your mind off it for a little bit.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: But that is awful. I'm very sorry. Pro Wrestling Fan
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five celebrating thirty seven months of membership. I
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: used to care about the WWE brand split. But at
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: this point it's a complete and utter clown show. Triple
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: knows needs to end it if he isn't going to
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: honor it. He doesn't give a shit, I mean on
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: the brand splits that he's just as bad as Vince
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: on the brand split stuff. They don't care. It's a
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: way for them to separate the rosters to a degree,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna make the moves that they want to make.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, you get two general managers and
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: they don't even incorporate them into it.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Right, They just show up.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: And then like tonight, Adam Pierce gets angry and he
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: calls Nick all this and he bitches him out on
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: the phone. It's like, why are they not working together
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: to either trade people or work out arrangements where so
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: and so will show up on the show next week
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: and then we'll have an IOU and we can get
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: somebody from their brand to come on our show one day. Like,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: they don't do it. They don't do it, they don't care.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: They're lazy when it comes to that stuff. They're very lazy.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Bass Bears says, laughing my ass off. Oh that I
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: don't know, dude, I have no idea. Your guess is
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: as good as mine. But to go back to Jeremy Roses,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't forget about you, Jeremy.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: We wanted to know.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Do I think Seth and Punk will have a Hell
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: and a Cell match at the September pl E.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: I hope not.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: We just had a CM Punk Helen a Cell match
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: with Drew McIntyre last year. I don't want to see
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: another one. Come up with some other stipulation for it.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna do it on that show. And he says,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: I think Cross is re signed and will cost sam
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I mean Sammy if he's gonna go for the championship
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: is something that's further down the line. But I'm gonna
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: say no. I'm going to say no. Dry chicking Man's
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Warner and Steph de Lander are a great couple, and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: they are also nasty. What they did to Santina Morello's
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: office on TNA Birds and the Bees. I did not
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: see what they did, so I cannot comment on it.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: Alex says brother Solo.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: We might need Teddy Long to return and announce he
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: disquadqualification match in order for us not to get a
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: DQ finish. Unreal it is unreal. Jeremy says, Roman versus
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Bronson choose on a pole match. Josh Carlos ninety eight,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: remember Stephanie Kier being number one contender? Whilp. Yeah, I
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. Again, I don't know what's going on with Naomi.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: I guess uh. Look, I mean, if it is something
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: that is going to keep her out of the ring
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: for a while, then you know, I mean, they'll have
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: to work something out as far as how they want
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: to handle that whole situation. But it's just it's premature
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: to until we know more. It's just premature to even
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: try to book, Like, how is Stephanie going to get
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: her shot?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Stephanie and Naomi is the match for Paris until we
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: hear otherwise retro koah am I the only one sick
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: of hearing there are levels to this. I don't know why,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: but that phrase just makes me cringe. Maybe it's just me. No,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's pretty cringey. Once everybody starts saying it, it
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: becomes pretty cringey. Dried Chicken says I would intentionally piss
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: off Triple H saying sixty nine, I would in saying
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: what you would say sixty nine. What the hell are
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: you talking about? Jason says, shouldn't Bronson Reid's finisher be
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: called the shoe Nami?
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Now it should? Yeah, absolutely, He's got the shoe Lafalla.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: It should be the shoe Nami. The shoe Nammy splash,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: shoe NAMMI spla boy, say that five times fast, the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: shoe Nami spz.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: I can't say it once.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Uh, Matthew, what do you think of a Cody versus
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: Orton feud? Since Orton was leader of legacy and mentored
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Road seems obvious and I'm shocked they haven't done it yet.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Matthew.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about this possible feud for a year now,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: so I'm with you. I mean, there's a lot of
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: history to draw on there, this history, even from the
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: last few months and Cody beating him in the King
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: of the Ring finals, So that is a few that
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I am surprised that they have not already done, and
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: they absolutely need to do. Lost Dill three months of
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: channel membership. Appreciate all your hard work and dedication always
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: getting me through my nights at work. Thank you, Solo, Well,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: thank you Lost Dill. I'm glad to have you with
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: us on all of these streams. Joseph Brooks on WWE
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: two K twenty five. I'm doing a true WCW invasion
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: in universe mode. I need help for a war Games
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: match from my invasion pay per view. So for my
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: car his Stone Cold against Goldberg, Undertaker against Sting, DDP
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: against Rock og Kane against the Giant. Well, you've taken
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of big names out of your Wargames match.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Ideally I would want to have some of those names
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: in wargames. See, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't have
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: war Games on that same show. I think you're blowing
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: through all your big matches on one night. Why would
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: you do that? It's terrible promotion. You need to have
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: your fantasy card with a bunch of matches like that
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: and save war Games for the next big show, so
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: that way you can get people like Sting and DDP
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and Rock and Austin in wargames. Jeremy Rose, who did
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: you think was the third man or the third man
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: was going to be in nineteen ninety six. I don't
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: remember who I thought it was going to be. It
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't Hogan. I think you know what I think my
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: thought was it was going to be Stinger Luger. I
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: think I was leaning towards Luger, that somebody in the
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: course of the match was gonna turn And when they
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: did the injury angle with Luger to get him out
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: of the match, I thought, Okay, it's got to be Luger.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking Hogan though. Bobby means, I do believe
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: we are on a collision course for Bailey Lyra. Plus,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: I think Maxine Dupre and NXTA makes sense to me.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, she never should have been called up from
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: NXT to begin with before she was ready. It's the
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: whole fucking point of NXT. I don't understand that. I
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: really don't. And then Eo versus Stephanie is pure cinner
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Is that word again? Is that word again? Em and
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: M I wanted to come in and celebrate my birthday
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: with the well we read this one already again. We
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: extend our condolences to our good friend for his loss.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: But happy birthday, my friend, as happy as it could
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: possibly be. Now look at that two more orange here
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: we might unlock a bonus be the booker. Bass Beer says,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: yes again, I don't know Matt Fisher says, it's bremode.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: It's always pre mode around here. Also, the only way
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: it could be more perfect is another bre mode. I
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: should have figured it was you both times, mister Ruby Dog,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Joey Ryan next hog show book it Well, if on
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: some farm somewhere they actually do have hog shows with
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: a bunch of hogs, he can certainly be a part
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: of that show. But he won't be a part of
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: our hog show. He wants to go roll around with
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: pigs somewhere by all means what he does in his
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: personal time. I really don't give a shit. Angel nine
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: months of membership. Totally agree with Solo Monster not a
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: great show. But eo versus Rock Sande was so good
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Arabian Night. With how dull the show was, I'm disappointed
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: the Quebec crowd didn't start. We want cross chance. My opinion,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: his departure is not a work. Not everything is. That
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: is true, Not everything is. I do not believe it
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: to be a work. We'll just say that.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: We got eminem.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: If there is one thing that I can do to
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: make everyone's day, I would need Nick Wayne's mom's help. Okay, well,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: he's the one who wanted to hear the song. So
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: there you go. You can thank Eminem for it's a
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: damn good song. Thank you, Eminem.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Bobby's World.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Sorry to do this to you, brother, but I see
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: you're having issues with the chats. Did you miss mine
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: or did you read it and I missed it? Now
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I read yours? Yeah, actually I just I literally just
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: read it. Oh man, I hate this update. Let me,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: I am we might have to get rid of the screen.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Just keep it on me like this is driving me nuts,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: and I love I just love the answer they gave
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: me too, like nope, can I pause.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Them or something?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Nope? Like oh okay. It's very interesting to me when
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: companies actually make updates to a program or a product
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: and they actively make it worse. Don't you just love
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: that they actively make it worse than it was before.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Good job, guys, Cameo Johnson, been a fan since my
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: military days in Europe. Respect for holding it down during
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: the dark era of WWE when it was unwatchable. Ever
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: visit Chicago beers on me.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Cameo.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you very much. I pop into Chicago every
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: few months for hog should come down to one of
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: the shows, probably be back there in November, most likely November.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what venue I think we've I think
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: we've outgrown our previous venue. But I'm looking forward to
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: getting back to Chicago in a few months. Bace Beers
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: says nine ninety nine with a nine to ninety nine
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: super chat. I still have that nine ninety nine network
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: promotion burned into my brain. They know how to market.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that, doctor Scorpio. What's the difference between
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: a good joke and a bad clock timing?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Lol? I'll show myself out just showing some love. You know.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: If I didn't like you, I don't know what I
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: would say, but it wouldn't be very nice. But I
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: do like you, so thank you, Doctor Scorpio. Terrible Dried
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: Chicken says kill her Across and Scarlet should be the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: host for an indie Halloween event. I know Scarlet is
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: very much into the like spooky Halloween stuff like WWE
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: on their YouTube channel has in the past posted stuff
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: with Shatzi and Scarlet visiting haunted houses and stuff, so
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: I know she's really into that.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: I love Halloween.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: They're actually opening a Spirit Halloween not too far from
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: me soon. Once that's open, I'll be browsing around. Devin says,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: what were some of young Solo's favorite Colisseum home videos
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: growing up? Smack Them Whackham is my favorite one. Probably
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: that's the one that has the first Brett Hart world
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: title change against Rick Flair. I was amazed that they
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: would just put that on a Colisseum video. You don't
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: see that very often, like a WWF title change on
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: a coliseum video that didn't err on TV. So that
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: was one. I mean, there were a bunch that I
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: had or that I rented. Invasion of the Body Slammers,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of wrestle fest videos. Yeah, the wrestle fests
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: maybe smack them Whackam and then the wrestle fests were
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: probably the ones I liked the most. Darth Panic be
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: the Booker. Yes, indeed, Doctor Scorpio. My streamer tried to
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: do a sponsored stream, but all he did was complained
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: about the product.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm done.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: Sorry. My streamer tried to do a sponsored stream, but
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: all he did was oh my god. M and M says,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: let's end my birthday on a high note with double
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: B the Booker. It will be absolute cinema. You're correct, sir,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Cameo Johnson. If you can pick three dream matches, what
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: would they be. Well, I've often said Brett Hard against
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: Kurt Angle. I know they very much wanted to work together.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: It just obviously never worked out. But Brett and Kurt
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: would have been won. Hmm. Like the biggest dream matches,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Savage was in one I always wanted to see set
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: thought Savage and I know for some reason, I always
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: thought Savage and Folly as Mankind. I don't know if
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: that would be the top of my list, but like
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: that was always one of those matches. I was like,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: man that would have been a great match, like with
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Savage in his prime against Mankind, like ninety six Mankind
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: when he was at his physical peak doing that character.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: Shawn Michaels in the Rock was always a match that
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: I felt like we really missed out on Austin and
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: Hogan just for the marquee value of it. Obviously that's
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: a huge match. So those are some of them. Today's
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: episode is sponsored by Hymns coming out of Summer Slim.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Last week there was a wrestler in the news I
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: won't say who, but he was talking about his hair
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: loss and how much it really affected him and his
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: quality of life and how he wished he would have
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: taken steps to address the issue years ago. And you
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: can understand why. You know, it's a cosmetic business that
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: they're in. This person's on TV all the time, very visible,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: but there are thousands of men out there going through
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: the exact same thing who are not public figures, They
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: are not on television in front of millions of people,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: but they can still feel that same shame, and they
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: shouldn't because there's nothing to be ashamed of. Thinning hair
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: is a problem that affects lots of people, and if
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: you happen to be one of those people, you need
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: to know that. Hymns offers one hundred percent online access
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: to prescription treatments for regrowing hair in as little as
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: three to six months, so you could see a fuller
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: head of hair on your head by fall. Hymns offers
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: access to a range of prescription hair loss treatments with
• 1:22:42

• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Arabia and I Financially and national exposure wise, aw makes
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: the most sense for Cross. He hated his time in
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: TNA and how they treated him, specifically, especially financially. Do
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: you remember, yeah, but you got to remember something that
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: was a different time in TNA. It's under different management now,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: and if he has any goals of returning to WWE,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: TNA is probably the best place for him. There were issues.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: I do believe there were issues with them or Scarlett
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: and Don Kallus that could be a factor. I mean,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: callous works in AW. Now that's a whole situation I'm
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: not going to get into. But for maybe that reason,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: and also just I don't think Cross is a good fit.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's someone Tony Khan would push. I
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: don't think he's the kind of performer or wrestler that
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Tony Khan is going to be gung ho about in
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: the way that he is people on his roster like
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: a Will Osprey or Swerve Strickland. So I feel like
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: he might be hot out of the gate, and then
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: even if there is something there to capitalize on, it'll
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: be like the WWE thing all over again and.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: It'll just die. So if it's just purely about.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: Money, sure, you know he could. He could try and
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: see if there's interest in going to AW. I just
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: don't think that's going to be a good fit. I
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: don't think that Tony Kahan would do much more with
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: him than what Triple h did. I think TNA could work.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: I think New Japan could work. And I don't know
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: that they're spending a lot of money on you know,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: foreign talent right now. But AW would be very low
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: down on the list of places that I think cross
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: if you went with Thriving. This my opinion, Jeremy Rose.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Funny thing about commentary during Hogan's heel turn is Bobby
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Heenen saying he knew it the whole time and continued
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: to bury Hogan. Lol. He was the goat. Why wouldn't
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: he his whole career, even going back to the Twin
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: Cities in the AWA when he was managing Nick Bockwinkle,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: he was feuding with Hogan, so of course he would
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: hate the guy regardless. He was consistent in his hatred
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: for Hogan. Doctor Scorpio again, thank you for that super chat. Duffsvids.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: What are your top three favorite holidays? In order? Thank
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: you for your stream solo. Thank you for all the
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: love dufsvids. You help keep this place running. I appreciate you. Halloween.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: Halloween is definitely number one in order. Huh, Halloween?
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: Christmas?
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Do I even have a third that I feel that
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: strongly about? I really don't. Thanksgiving. Yeah, Thanksgiving, I would say,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: if I had to rank them in order, you know what,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: here's here's the order, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas in that order. Christmas,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: I just like the festive season, the lights like I
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: like that aspect of it. Thanksgiving love the food, hanging
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: out with you know, family that you know we still
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: get to hang out with. But Halloween is my number one.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Noodle puddings, Daddy Ugarte knows noodle pudding. It is very
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: misleading when I call it noodle pudding, and I posted
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: pictures of it online before from Thanksgiving. I have a
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: cousin who makes we call it noodle putting. It's not putting.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: It's being very misleading. People think it's like a it's
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: like a fucking it's not putting it.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: The best way I.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Could describe it is it's like a It's like a
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: noodle casserole. Basically picture is lice a cake, but instead
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: of cake, it's all these noodles and cinnamon and everything,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: and it's just sort of baked together. It's so good.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I always have it on Thanksgiving. Kevin says, love carrying
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Cross's interview with Ariel Must Watch is that a new
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: one he did one previously near. I'd put Sammy in
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: that fatal four way instead of J. You know what,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not too gung ho about jumping into the Sammi
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: thing just yet, but yet you're right, I probably would
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: put him in there as well in place of J.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: Terrible Dried Chicken says, fuck it. Give Bailey a split
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: personality gimmick. I don't know. Can she pull it off?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: There are some performers in wrestler who could pull off crazy.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: I think Alexa Bliss did a pretty good job of that.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Daphne did a pretty good job at that back in
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: the day, Rosemary in TNA. I don't know. I say crazy,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that's it doesn't mean she has to be crazy.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: But again, if you're talking the split personality things, there
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: has to be something to differentiate the two. So I
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: just assume like one of her personas would be kind
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: of crazy, you know, and unhinged, and then the other
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: one could be the role model, like you want to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: go to the opposite end of the spectrum. If you're
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: going to do two different personalities, can't she pull it off?
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, got nothing to lose, It's not like
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Bailey has really been given much to do recently.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: That's terribly interesting, cameo Johnson.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: We know Vince is like Voldemort, but do you think
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: there are some things wwe being ignorantly corporate now that
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't go for. I mean, the number one thing
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: is the advertising and sponsorships on the mats. He always
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to keep a clean ring. He did not want
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: any sponsor logos on the mats around ringside. Well that's
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: not true because they did have stuff on, like the
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: led barricade, but they've gone so overboard with it, so
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: disgustingly overboard with it. That is one thing that he
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: would never have allowed. And it's one thing to have,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: like the slim gym logo right in the middle of
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: the ring, like okay, fine, I don't even have an
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: issue with that, but having i mean literally like seven
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: or eight logos all over the mat and then the
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: turnbuckles and everything like that's something you would never have
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: seen if he was still in power, you would never
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: have seen that. But they just they're gonna make money
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: any way they can, anyway that you can. That's why
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: you're hearing talk about, you know, possibly to WrestleMania is
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: one of these years, you know, you give one to
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Saudi and you do the regular WrestleMania. So now instead
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: of having too WrestleMania Maine events a year, we're gonna
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: have fo WrestleMania Maine events a year, to the point
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: where being in the WrestleMania main event won't mean anything.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: It'll mean nothing. That's where we're headed. WrestleMania every month.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: Remember when we had WrestleMania Backlash a few years ago.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: It'll be that all over again. WrestleMania Backlash, WrestleMania Bad Blood,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania money in the bank. It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Who's
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: to say Vince wouldn't have changed his mind because he's
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: an old fucker. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: It's the one thing he held on to, like grim death.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: He would not allow his mat to be debased in
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: that way. And even if he would have, I think
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: he would have gone as far as having one sponsor
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the ring like WCW used to do.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: They had Snickers, they had Slimjim, but not all over
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: the place where it's like, okay, if you want to
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: tattoo something on my arm. Go ahead. TKO comes in
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: and says, hold my beer. You can tattoo me on
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: the arms. You could tattoo me on the legs. You
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: could tattoo my fucking forehead. You could put a tattoo
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: on the back of each of my shoulders. You could
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: put a tattoo on the back of each of my
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: ash cheeks. They don't care. As long as you cut
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: the check, that's all that matters. It's time to be
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: the booker.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: Ladies or gentlemen.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: It is now time to be the booker. We get
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: two rounds tonight thanks to you guys. It's exciting. Love it,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: love it when we get to do double be the booker.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: They're going to start putting sponsor logos on all the merch. Oh,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: that'll be coming. Absolutely, You'll see at least some of
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: the top names will be coming down to the ring. Cody,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: you'll have Wheatley American Vodka's logo on his fucking trunks
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: or his his tights. I mean, if Roman Rings doesn't
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: get like a Nike sponsorship out of this, I mean,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: what are we doing here, Jay Uso and wingstop.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: Oh it's coming all right, Tag team be the booker.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: We have hmm, Mason Madden and well, I mean, if
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: you go by their names in wwe really like in
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: this image it's Mansor and Marseille, but it's a Mason
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: Madden and Mansur in the Ring of Honor. The blue
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: chee ladder. Yes, they're branding the tables and the ladders.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: Now well, no, it was the fireball ladder, but in
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: due time we'll get the blue choe ladder. Actually, I
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: think the suggestion I made was the blue choe bell.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: The steel steps will be the Snickers steps. Put the
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: Snicker's logo on each step. Oh it's coming. Well, you
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: know how they remove the top part of the ring
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: steps and they have the flat bottom part. Once they
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: remove the top part, it reveals the sponsor logo for
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: that night, and their fucking logo is right there on
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: top of that flat part of the ring steps. All
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: this stuff will happen. All this stuff will happen. So
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Ussos against Mansor and masse kicking
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: us off. Here in be the I find Mason man
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: Soor entertaining. The question is do we give this match
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: a bell Mason Mansor against the USOS bucket. I'm giving
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: it the bell. I'm giving it the bell. Bred Hart
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: forty one months of channel membership. This month is my
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: tenth anniversary of being a sound off listener. Wow, how
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: about that a decade a decade. Thank you for sticking
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: with me, brother, I appreciate. Here's to the next ten
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: pre show for a backlash, We'll put the USOS against
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: the Mason Mansor on the pre show. Okay, they don't
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: do matches on pre shows anymore. In AW, they do
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: too many matches on the pre show. In WWE, they
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: don't do any matches. It's just one extreme.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: Or the other.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale, one of my favorites from AW. Willow is great.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale will be battling Mayu Ewatani. You don't know
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: who Mayu e Watani is. I suggest you look her up,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: but if you're any kind of fan of Joshi Wrestling,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: you know exactly who Mayui Watani is. In fact, I
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: think she had a movie made about her life over
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: in Japan. And our first of two main events here,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: don't forget, we got one more yet to come. Here
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: we go. Oh boy, look who it is. It's Dax Harwood,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: one half of FTR Dax Harwood and Be the Booker
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: has pulled himself away from the Twitter machine to actually
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: participate in this main event. I'm shocked.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: And who will he be stepping into the ring with.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: Let's find out he'll be stepping into the ring with
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley. Well not if MVP has his way, he won't.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: If MVP is going to exercise his creative freedom in aw,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: that ain't going to be happening. We'll find out who
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: wins out on that end, if it's MVP or Tony Kahan.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Oh, that's a sweep. I just realized. I
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: just realized that's as I almost completely forgot. That's a
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: clean sweep. There you go. Well, he knows who's losing
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: this man, Yeah, we know who's winning that match. Dak
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Harwood's Michael says, Dax Harwood sounds like a porn name.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: You know it kind of does it? Does? Dax Harwood
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: sounds like a porn stars name. Well, anyway, let's move
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: on to the second round. That lovely visual. We go
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: to round number two. Be the Booker, we might have
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: MVP booking the matches here. In round two, I believe
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: he's exercising his desire to book round two. So let's
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: see what we end up with. And we're gonna have
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: a barbed wires steel cage match to kick us off here.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a barbed wire steel cage tag
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: team match. That's gonna be crazy, barbed wires steel cage
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: tag team match with the Holly Cousin. Well, they're a hardcore,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: so it's perfect. The Holly Cousins, hardcore and crash. That fits.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: Pick the perfect teams for this, The Holly Cousins against
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: Public Enemy in a tag team barbed wire steel cage match.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: It's perfect.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: That worked out.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: Well. Can we do a double sweep? That doesn't happen?
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: It's like a unicorn. It doesn't happen very often. You
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: don't see them very often. But I think we have
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: a chance. All Right, A good job, MVP. You did
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: well with that one.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: MVP.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: You're gonna kill the town here with the stipulation. Another
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: barbed wire steel cage match has been booked. Oh man,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: you're gonna kill the stipulation is what you're gonna do.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a women's match, No less a
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: women's steel cage barbed wire match with Live Morgan, Poor
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: Live Morgan, My god. Live Morgan is out injured. She
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: had surgery, she's hurt, and her first match back, we're
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: putting her in a barbed wire steel cage match. Respin,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: it's not how it works. Live Morgan against Willow Nightingale. Boy.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: We are certainly doing a lot of repeat choices tonight,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: aren't we? But I dig the match though. Liv Morgan
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: is kind of crazy and she's not afraid to throw
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: her body around. We saw her in the elimination chamber
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: earlier this year. She's not afraid of taking a beating
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: in the ring and Willow and we saw Willow in
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: a fucking anarchy in the arena match and then that
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: match she had it all out last year with Chris Statlanders,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: so she doesn't mind. We are on the verge of
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: a double. Sweet guys, this is amazing. I feel it.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: I feel it. I have a good feeling about this.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: We're gonna end with an Ultimate X match, Ultimate X
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: a TNA special. Now, there's a lot of climbing involved
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: in this match, the Dame match, so it really does
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: come down to who we land on. I don't want
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: to be picking a fucking great colleague of being an
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: Ultimate X match. So this is gonna be quite the
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: test here. It all hinges upon this. Oh boy, Oh
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: it's Vato Sting. Look, this will never this will never
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: not be funny to me.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: I have no.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: Memory of this being a thing. I have no memory
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: of this angle. I have no memory. I assume obviously
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: he's dressed up as a member of LAX, but I
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: don't remember the context. I don't remember anything about this.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: I just look at the image and I fucking laugh
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: every single time. I think all the versions of Sting,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: this might be my favorite. But now we have Vatos.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: Sting has to climb like upside down basically for the
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: ultimate Cholo Sting. Yes, yes, it's Votos. Come on, man,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: Vatos Sting against Roman Reigns the tribal chief, and it
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: will be an Ultimate X match, and.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: That is indeed.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: A double sweep. Just trying to visualize this match, Roman
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: reigns and Sting first of all, as a match, that
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: would be awesome. But Roman reigns and Sting in an
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: Ultimate X match, it'd be a miracle of nobody falls
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: to their death. There you go. Two clean sweeps. You
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: got it, Enjoy it. It doesn't happen very often. It's
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: very rare. He could knock the X down with his bat,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: that's true, could hold on with one arm and then
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: have the bat in the other arm and just yeah,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: but don't you have to have possession of the X dee.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: Like if he hits the EX and it falls to
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: the floor, then it's whoever catches it, right, He could
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: hit it with the X or he could hit it
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: with the bat. It falls and Roman is just standing
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: underneath it and catches it wins, So then that doesn't
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: do him any good. We have got Brian Finelli's going on. Brian,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: that side Russian leg sweep was brought to you by Snickers,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: says Michael Cole. Well, how about this deal with ESPN
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: where they're potentially going to simulcast major plees on the
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: ESPN linear networks, which could include ESPN Proper and potentially
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: even ABC. Imagine WrestleMania the main event being aired on ABC.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: In the middle of the match, like someone is thrown
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: outside the ring and put a little box in the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: corner of the screen that says WrestleMania continues, they go
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: to break in the middle of the WrestleMania main event.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: It's possible.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: It's possible. The yatagaratsu favorite female psycho gimmick was two
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: thousand and two Victoria. She had the music, the facial expressions,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: and the aura and moveset of an axe murderer. Maybe
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: she was an axe murderer. I liked it.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: Why she used to come out with the.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Uh tattoo music, all the things she said, that's that's
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: still my favorite theme of hers.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: What was the other one that started like uh with.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: That woman's voice, like whoa? What was that song? I
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: ain't the lady to mess with? Right, it's like whoo,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: I ain't the lady to mess with? That one was okay,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: but all the things she said is still her best theme.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Duffs VID's Blue Choo Chairs Hit Hard, Stay Hard. I
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: Actually, no, I hate it.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to see any
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: of this. I don't want to will this into existence.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: Terrible dried Chicken home depot or Low's will be a
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: sponsor for a ladder match? I two of them, Uh
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: not far from from where I am, and I have
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: to I have to say I've become a Low's guy,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: I find generally fine more of what I'm looking for
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: in Low's than I do Home Depot. Larry Jester Slim
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: Jim Kendo sticks would be better than tables. Well, I
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: mean that would make more sense, wouldn't it, Because the
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: kendo sticks kind of look like giant slim Jims. You
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: could paint them. You could paint them brown or red.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: Thunder Force. Remember when Vince wouldn't allow Cmpunk to have
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: sponsors on his ring gear. Yeah, that was many years ago.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Brock came back though, and he had Jimmy Johns on
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: his shorts because he had a pre existing agreement with them.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: He was the only one who was allowed that. No
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: one else was allowed to have any sponsors of their own.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: Dry Chickens says Dax Harwood against Bobby Lashley. MVP is
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: the referee, Stokely is the ring enforcer. Cash Wheeler and
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: Shelton on commentary with X Caliber and Matt Fisher says,
• 1:48:03

  Speaker 1: Episode nine twenty four of the sound Off one up Yesterday.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: Great episode, great feedback, and we hit number two for
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: all wrestling podcasts on all of Apple podcasts. We hit
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: number two, which is very cool.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: So I thank you for that. If you missed it,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: go back and check that out.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: Sean de celebrating twenty eight months of membership, says the
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: wwees going through like ad withdrawal from all the decades
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: that Vince didn't want ads all over the Squared Circle
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: now that he's gone, feels like it and shout out
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: to Paul twenty eight months of membership as well. Just
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: like Sean, you're like twins. It's like you joined at
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: the same time. I've been watching a lot of old
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: school wrestling NWA, very good stuff back in the day
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: for being a lifelong WWF fan. Any favorite matches from
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: that NWA days. Yeah, I mean one of my favorites
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: is the cage match I quit. It was Tully Blanchard
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: and magnum Ta for the US title. I don't remember
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: what event it was. If it was Stark Star Kate,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: it was five, I forgot the event. That's a classic match.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: If you've never seen that one, definitely go check that out.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: I would also recommend to you because it's it's I mean,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: some of my favorite matches was just after they went
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: from they pulled out of the NWA and so it
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: was already WCW at that point, so it might not
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: be exactly what you're looking for. Although, just to go
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: back to the NWA for a second look, Sting and
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Flair had their classic match at the first Clash of
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: the Champions in eighty eight, right that forty five minute draw.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: Lex Luger during that period when he was the United
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: States Champion, Lex Luger had some really good matches. I
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: want to say with Ricky Steamboat, but also he had
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: a match with Flair. I think it was after Sting
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: hurt his knee. That would have been nineteen ninety. But
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: if you want to see some cool shit that you
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: probably never saw if you were a WWF fan, only
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: Wrestle War ninety two. There's a War Games match best Wargames,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: my favorite War Games match of all time, Sting Squadron
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: against the Dangerous Alliance led by Paul Hayman Paulie Dangerously.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: The Wargames matches.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: They did in ninety one at Wrestle War and ninety two,
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: both of them, but ninety two to me is better
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: than ninety one. And then in ninety two there was
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: a series of matches between Sting and Big Van Vader.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: Fucking awesome. One of my favorite series of matches. If
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: you want the ultimate classic trilogy, though, you got to
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: go back to eighty nine in the NWA. Those were
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: the Rick Flair Ricky Steamboat matches, Shytown Rumble, wrestll War
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: eighty nine. Oh god, what was the other one? Shit?
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: I forgot, but the three matches that they are most
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: well known for in eighty nine. If you've never seen those,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: then you need to stop what you're doing and go
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: watch those. So definitely make sure that's on your list. Ah. Yes, Roderick,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: thank you, says Luger. Steamboat was on Bad eighty nine two. Yeah,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: you know again. People will give Luger shit. He was
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: not the best n ring worker, but you go back
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: and watch his work from the late eighties, like especially
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: eighty nine, maybe eighty eight, eighty nine, he was really
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: good and he has some really good matches, And I
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: feel like there were people who say shit that never
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: actually saw him work during those years. So if you've
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: never seen it, it's worth going out of your way
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: to go check it out for the first time. Ah. Yes,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: Flare and Steamboa, that's right. Clash of the Champions in
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, thank you. Yep. Rick Flair and Terry Funk
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: had a great eye quit match. Clash of the Champions
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: that was New York Knockout I think was the subtitle
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: right of that show that was in eighty nine. Yep, absolutely,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: Vader two. I got to give Vader as flowers Man.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Vader's matches during that period, Vaders matches with Sting, Vaders
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: match with Rick Flair at starkd in ninety three, Vaders
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: matches with Cactus Jack, especially their Halloween Havoc match. Sting's
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: match with Cactus Jack at Beach Blast in ninety two,
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: that's another one. Rick Rude during that period had a
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: great run of matches in WCW, you know, against Sting
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: and against Flair, and Yeah, it was a lot of
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: good stuff back then, and I didn't appreciate it myself
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: until years later, because, like you, I was younger and
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: I was watching WWF. I just wasn't. I was paying
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: attention to the kind of what was going on in WCW,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: but I wasn't really a WCW fan. But there was
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff that I only got to
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: really experience many years later. Yeah, Rude and Steamboat Ruden.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: Steamboat had an iron Man match, didn't they. I think
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: it was a thirty minute ironmn match. Barry Wyndham, sure, yeah,
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: Barry Wyndham and Flair. God when Flair's DVD set, that
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: Triple dis DVD set came out many many years ago,
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: I think the match that I'm thinking of with Flair
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: and Wyndham is on there. Whatever event that was, that
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: was a great one too. Stinging Luger against the Steiners. Yep,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: that was Super Bowl. I think that was the first
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think that was the very first one.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: I've always said, you know, I got a question before
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: asking me. Might have been from God who sent the
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: question in I already forgot. Oh God, it was uh
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: is a cameo cameo John and sent that question before
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: I think about my top fantasy matches. You've heard me
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: in the past say this before. I've I know I've
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: said it multiple times because I've been asked about it
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: in the mail bag. Like the ultimate fantasy warfare match,
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: like both guys in their prime, Big Van Vader early
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: nineties against Brock Lesner, and it honestly, it could be
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: Brock from the first run, or it could be Brock
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: when he first came back in twenty twelve. I would
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: prefer the Brock where he did more than just supplexes.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: But even if you took that version of Brock, the
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: supplex city Brock from the mid twenty tens, Brock Lesner
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: and Vader, put those two fucking guys in the ring.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: Holy shit match that would have been. That would have
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: been fantastic. That to be the Booker match right there
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: that we've never landed on. But one day, one day
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: we have to Cecil Robinson. You should have a sound
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: effect for two clean sweeps. I should, you know what
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: I always envision maybe the Mario sound effect when you
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: when you get the mushroom or a flower like that
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: power up noise. That might be a good one. Yeah,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: I should.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: Vader would eat him alive.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know about eat him alive.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure about that.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: Do brawl for all? Prime Brock against Prime Vader.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 2: Brawl for all.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: Brock's got the UFC, He's got the fight experience. Vader
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: didn't have that. Vader was just a big dude who
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: hit hard, but that's about it. But he was a
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: lot bigger though, I mean he weighed more. I guess
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: if he wanted a smother and just kind of put
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: all of his weight on him and kind of wear
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: him down that way.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know how like a fight would have looked
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: between those two. Yeah, those are, but you know what,
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: those would be my two. I think those would be
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: my top two right there. Brett Hardtigainst Kurt Angle and
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: Prime Brock against Prime Vader. Sign me up for those? Uh,
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: Navy forty one eighty one on the Sound of You
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: mentioned Super WrestleMania. Did you have it on Genesis? The
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: SNS had no finishers or champions Mode until later with Royal.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I had it on I think I
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: had it on I'm pretty sure I had it on
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: Super Nes. I know I had Raw on Genesis when
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: that Raw game came out in ninety four that had
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: Diesel and I think Bambaan was in there.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania, the RC game, Super WrestleMania, I think that stuff
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: was on the Super Nes For me, all all fuck up?
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Fuck that tree? Hey, luis planting a tree? Wwe really
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: dropped the ball with carrying Cross. Should he and Scarlet
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: go to TNA or ae W or Scarlet should join
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: Wow Women of Wrestling. Well, I mean, if they can
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: get a you know, financially an offer that they are
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: are happy with. I do feel like TNA would probably
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: be a good landing spot for them. For Cross, I think,
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: you know, there's there's multiple options for him. I think
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: he'll kill it doing indies for a while, so I
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: I don't even think he needs to necessarily be in
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: any kind of a rush to sign a contract anywhere.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a very lucrative, very successful indie
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: run for him. But ultimately, if he doesn't end up
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: just going back to WWE, I think TNA would probably
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: be the prime landing spot for him. And again it
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: would give him a gateway back into WWE if that's
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: his ultimate goal. And keep in mind, now, this is
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: the second time that he has been effectively let go.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, his contract expired in this case, so it's
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not like they released him, but they
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: basically said, hey, we don't want to resign to you.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when they let your contract expire. Previously
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: he had been released, And I've said this about other
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: people like braun Stroman, people who have been released multiple times.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: Like you also kind of asked the question like do
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: you want to go back? You know, it's one thing
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: when it happens to you once, when it happens to
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: you twice, you know, when it happens to you multiple times,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: do you even want to go back and work for
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: those people again? You know? But WWE is still the
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: biggest game in town, and the ones that will probably
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: be able to pay the most money. I mean not
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: that Tony Kahm pays peanuts to his talent. But they're
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: the biggest game in town. That's why everybody desires to
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: go there. But it's got a sting, you know, when
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: you end up going back and then you end up
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: on the outside again, and it's like, do I go
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: back again? Or you know, clearly these people don't really
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate me for what I bring to the tables, so
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: I'd rather be somewhere else.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going through his head on that front,
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: but I feel like that's what would be going through
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: my head, you know, and I would be upset about that.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily want to work for these people anymore.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: They don't appreciate what I bring to the table. I'll
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: take my services somewhere else, you know. That would be
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: my attitude. Power spying games Roaman against reed sneakers on
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: a pole bro no poles, no poles. Maybe we do
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: it the way they do it here in New York,
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: where you can actually set two poles up, but you
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: don't have to climb the poles, but you set two
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: poles up like here with the power lines you always see.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is how it is where
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: you are. But you'll be driving down the street and
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: it's not like this on every street, but you will
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: find streets where there is a pair of sneakers tied
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: together right in the middle of a power line above
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: the street. And so maybe they could set two poles
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: up in the ring and then just have well, I
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: guess there's two pairs, but you can just tie them
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: and they're just hanging from the middle. I feel right
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: at home, super Pony. Is there any chance this cross
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: thing is a work?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 2: Brother?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: It's pro wrestling. I wouldn't bet my life on it,
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: but I am telling you it is not a work,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: you know, just one last thing on the cross stuff.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: Like I even talked about it on the sound off.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: I thought that in the end there was either an
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: offer made or there would be an offer made and
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: he would stay. And I figured that's ultimately how it
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: would resolve. You know, they would see that there's this
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: ground swell of support and they could certainly find a
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: spot for him on the roster. And it appears that
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: is not the case. And so.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: I hope for his sake.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: And I saw the video he put out yesterday, which
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: was very well done, and he has a special connection
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: with his fans. He has a lot of fans out there,
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: and he has a special connection with them. And I
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: hope that he is able to grow that. I hope
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: that the buzz around him in the momentum that he
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: has right now can continue wherever he goes, wherever he lands,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: and that he could parlay that into something because honestly,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: even if he would have ended up back in WWE,
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: it's very apparent to me, even though Triple H is
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: the one who brought him in scarlet back, it's very
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: apparent to me that they do not want to push
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: him in any serious way. I mean that that's again,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: if Triple H really wanted to do something major with him,
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: he had the chance to do so, he opted not to,
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever his rationale.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 2: Whatever his reasoning was for doing so or not doing so.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: But I hope it all works out for him because
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: his other places to work and WWE is not the
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: only game in town. Life does not end just because
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: WWE is not interested in you. And I think he's
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: smart enough to understand that, and I think he's going
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: to do very well for himself. Like I said, you know,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: kind of booking his own events in the meantime, and
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: then ultimately wherever he wants to end up, hopefully he'll
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: be able to take this and it'll carry over there
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: and he'll have a little more freedom maybe to do
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: the kind of things that he wants to do that
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: maybe he wouldn't have had in WWE. So I wish
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: him well. I hope it all works out. Do I again,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: do I think it's a work. I don't see what's
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: accomplished at this point. If it is, like there's so
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: many reports out there now about people in corporate positions
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: in WWE. Wrestle Votes had something saying that even the
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: corporate side is of the impression he and Scarlet are gone, So.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: What are they are they working the corporate side, They're
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: working the.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: Roster, Like you get to a point, we just went
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: through this with the seth Rollins stuff, like at some
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: point it's just stupid. It doesn't serve any real purpose.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: You know, you're just sowing the seeds of disrespect or
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: not disrespect, but distrust with people within the organization. And
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: I don't see, frankly, if it was to be a work,
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: which again I don't believe it is, and then he
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: should up one day like okay, like what is even
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: accomplished by it? It's just if it's a work, it's
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: a very stupid work. So no, it is not a work.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: In WWE wrestling and gaming, how would you book a
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: Vader title reign very similar to the one he had
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: in WCW, where you know, you feed him opponents that
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: he can go in there and have great matches with.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that's people who are necessarily bigger
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: than him. There aren't too many people on the roster
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: today that would be bigger than Vader. You feed him
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: the right opponents, and I think he can go in
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 1: there and have some great matches, some classic matches, David
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: and Goliath type matches, But he goes on a dominant
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: run and you book him as champion for a solid
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: year with him as the monster on top until you
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: settle on that baby face that you want to be
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: the guy right like Sting was back in the day.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: Who's gonna slay the beast, slay the dragon and be
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: able to topple this guy and you just carefully build
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: to that moment. You know, Vader is that final boss
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: kind of guy. So I put that championship on him
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: for at least a year and let him just fucking
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: rip through the roster, not squash everybody again. You want
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: him to go in there and have good competitive matches,
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: but you know he has to be dominant. He could
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: be that dominant Monster champion for a while, and then
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: you build to your hero, the guy that you want
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: to build the company around, being the one to beat him.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: It's simple as that. It's not rocket science. Just finding
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: the right people that could be the hard part. Sometimes
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: the rest of it should be easy. Once you have
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: the people, you have the pieces. You just got to
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: put him in place. But thank you brother anyway, Be well,
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: stay safe. Every sells a great night. Go check out
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: episode nine twenty four if you have not already done so.
