WWE Smackdown 3/20/26 Review | Randy Orton BREAKS MATT CARDONA'S ARM! · Solomonster Sounds Off

  Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? It is another Friday night.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Look who is in the corner of the screen. Karen
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is joining us tonight. I think I figured out who
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: was on the phone with Randy Orton. This right here
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: is where he is getting all of his instructions from.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I finally figured it out. She's gonna join us for
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the remainder of the show here tonight, So don't mind
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: her in the corner of the screen. You know. Last
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: week's SmackDown had that big angle at the very end
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes and the heel turn
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: or what we thought was the heel turn, and the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: rest of the show was basically garbage. Last week's SmackDown
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: was fucking terrible. So where do you go from fucking terrible? Right?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, on the scale of like in terms of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: quality of the show, fucking terrible is pretty much at
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the bottom, right. It'd be hard to be any worse,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I think than that show was last week. So I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: thought tonight's show was an improvement from where we were
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: last week, which is not to say it was a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: great show, but there was good, there was bad. I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: think there was certainly a lot more to like about
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: this show. There were three main things as I see
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it when it comes to tonight's show. First of all,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we had a wild open and a wild close to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the show. There was a lot of chaos on this show.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Chaos is not a bad thing. I mean, it can
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: be a bad thing, but chaos in this case, because
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: everything is just felt so boring and so lifeless, chaos
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is a good thing. So we had that at the beginning,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and we had that at the end. Three things. Randy
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Orton had a story thread that ran throughout the entire show,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: or at least from the moment he came out for
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: his promo, which maybe was at the top of the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: hour right the first hour heading an hour number two,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And there was a story thread with him because we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: got him on multiple segments, a couple of backstage segments.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: They closed the show with him. Will basically closed the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: show with him. I like that. That's good. When you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: can thread things along throughout the three hours like that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and try to keep people hooked in to find out
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen next, that's a good thing. We
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: had that with Randy Orton. Tonight. We had Jacob Fotu
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and Drew McIntyre. We were promised to match tonight. Okay,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we were scheduled to have Jacob Fatu one on one
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: with Drew McIntyre. Now, if you've been paying attention, Drew
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: McIntyre and Jacob Fatu have no other obvious opponent for
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania other than one another. So I was not expecting
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: much more beyond honestly an angle basically on tonight's show.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: If we had gotten a match, we weren't going to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: get a definitive winner anyway, so I wasn't too bothered
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: by that we had them, though all throughout the entire
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: show they were beating the crap out of each other
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot. At the beginning of the show,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we had a car accident, then they brawled that into
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the building, and then throughout the night they were brawling
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: in the back. And then the show closes with the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: two of them outside on some kind of fucking structure.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell this thing was, if
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it was an oil rig or what, but they're up
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: there and they're fighting on the ledge of this thing,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and then they plummet to their deaths down below, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they go off the show with Nick All this frantically
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: calling for medical Oh my god, these two men have
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: just killed one another, right, he's thinking of just all
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the insurance issues he's gonna have now. By the way,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: WWE security fucking useless up and down this, whether it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton, whether it's Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre. How
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: are these men going to be allowed to brawl continuously
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for three hours? They were in a car accident in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the parking lot, and from the moment the show went
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on the air to the moment the show went off
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the air tonight, they never stopped fighting. I don't know
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: what the purpose of security is on this show at all.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: To begin with, they are completely inept. I think that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Nick all this needs to pick up the phone to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: make a phone call to Atlas Security. In fact, Karen
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in the corner there is gonna call Atlas Security and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: get them in for the show next week. That was
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: my other big takeaway from the show. How useless these
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: security geeks are here on this show. But I did
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like the constant chaos between the two of them, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the other thing also is this, I don't recall there
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: being a single match on the show last week that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was really worth going out of your way to see.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Usually on these shows you get at least that one
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: really good like US Title Open Challenge match. He gets
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: something I can't remember anything last week. This week we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: had Carmelo Hayes and Ilia Dragonov. It is impossible to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: send those two men out to the ring and have
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: anything but an excellent match, which is what they had tonight,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: because Ilia Dragonov has been having self doubts and he's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: been in his own head. No, I don't know if
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I'm good enough. I have to find the Mad Dragon.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well apparently he found the Mad Dragon and he went
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: out there and he fucking lost. He was unsuccessful tonight
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in regaining his championship. But they went out there and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that match was fucking awesome. And you know what, I'll
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: even throw the match in there with Phraxium and the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: MotorCity machine Guns. Not nearly as awesome as the Carmelo
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Hazelia Dragonov match, But I thought that was a good
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: tag team match tonight as well, So we had some
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: good in ring as well, the Randy Orton stuff. Look,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: there was no Cody Rhads tonight, right, It would have
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: been stupid for him to be on the show. Anyway,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it sounds like he's going to be back next week
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Randy Orton came out tonight and the objective, really,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: there were two objectives here because on raw Monday night,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they established this phone call that Randy Orton had gotten
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: or we presume, I mean, when they cut to him
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: on Monday, he was already on the phone with somebody.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So whether he called them they called him, it doesn't matter.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton was in his garage being filmed apparently on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a potato on Monday night, and we don't know who
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he was on the phone with, but he was being
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: very chummy with them. And everyone's been speculating all week
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: long about who was on the other end of the phone,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: right if it wasn't our friend Karen over here, who
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: was on the other end of the phone. So there
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: were the two things I was looking for coming into
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: tonight's show. Number one, what is the explanation that Randy
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Orton is going to give for what he did to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes. We cannot have him come out and Paula
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: John Cena and look out at the fans and go,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you people, you people, you people. You made me do this, right, no,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we can't have that. That's lazy bullshit. What is the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: explanation for why Randy did what he did? And then, also,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: are we going to get an answer to the mystery caller?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Are we going to find out who was on the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: phone with Randy Orton? Those are the two things I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was looking for tonight. The good news is we did
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: not get the you people promo, so that's good. The
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: bad news is, just because I'm an impatient person, we
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: did not get our answer to the phone call mystery.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's actually probably a good thing that they drag it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: out for another week or two or however long it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: going to be. But we did not get an answer
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to the question. So we will keep speculating, We'll keep
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: waiting and wondering. But no, we do not have any
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: answers yet as to who was on the other end
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of the line. We had a women's tag team championship
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: match tonight the Bella Twins. This is the first time
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that the Bellatwins have even teamed up together in eight years,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and their first match is for the tag team titles.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Don't ask me how they swung that or who they had.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: A politic or a lobby but they got themselves a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: championship match, and I thought this match was fucking terrible.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Everything about the match, the match itself, the finish, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting a title change, nor was I clamoring
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: for one, but just the way it all played out,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it was just it was so predictable, but just it
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: was no good. It just was no good. You know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you would want them to highlight the best that you
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: have of the women's tag team division, which has been
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: i will say on fire, but just in terms of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the attention that they have given it over the last
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: six months plus, you would want to put your best
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: foot forward. They did not do that tonight with the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: match that they gave us on this show. It is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: very clear, though, if it wasn't already coming out of SmackDown,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: we are going to get multi team madness of WrestleMania.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: The only question is do we get five teams? Do
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we get six teams. I'm not sure exactly what the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: number is going to be. I'm not sure if they're
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: going to make it a ladder match an elimination style match.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That we don't know, but it seems pretty clear that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the direction that we're going in. Here, and then we
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: had Kit Wilson and Jelly Roll. Kit Wilson had called
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: out jelly Roll. We were told he was going to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: be calling him out this week, and so they share
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the ring together and they had not a sing off,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: They didn't have a match or anything like that. They
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: basically did like a what do you say? A deaf
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Jam poetry edition? I forgot how he phrased it. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: so they're out there and they're trading barbs on the microphone,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and I have to listen. And this is unfortunately an
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: image that I'm going to have to live with for
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: quite some time. I had to sit here and listen
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to Jelly Roll talk about how Kit Wilson's mother knows
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: all about his little Willie because when he was fat,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he took the belly fat that he had in his
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: midsection and put it on her back. We have someone
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: who watches these streams and you'll see him. Our good
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: friend GMB, you know who I'm talking about, give me
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: backshot Solo Monster who's here almost every stream. He's dropping
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: super chats and I see the name and I just
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I put my head in my hands. I'm semi repulse
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: by it. That's nothing compared to the image of Jelly
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Roll porking Kit Wilson's mom with his belly fat draped
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: over her back.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Eh, excuse me, Eh, I'm gonna try to hold it in.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to hold it in. I'm gonna do
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: my best. I make no promises. I want you to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: think of all the people who were not yet slotted
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in at WrestleMania, all the people that we were wondering,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: well are they gonna have a place on the WrestleMania card.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They don't have a match. The fuck is gun they
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: gonna do it WrestleMania. But we got Jelly Roll. He
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: was in multiple segments here on the show. He's coming
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: back next week, and clearly they're pushing towards some sort
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of tag team match of WrestleMania. A lot of focus
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in television time being dedicated to Jelly Roll on these shows.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: With a card that just seems very incomplete right now.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: The card is filling in nicely, but there are some
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: glaring omissions to that WrestleMania car. But I gotta watch
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Jelly Roll out there talking about pork and Kit Wilson's mom.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: This is your SmackDown review. It is Friday night, March twentieth,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. I am a very nauseous, solemn monster
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: after what I just talked about. Hit that like button
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and subscribe if you have not already done so, super
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: chats are open. We will hang out together a little
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: bit later. You will also see them popping up on
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: your screen. Hey, Dion Moody, just subscribe. Dion, I'm sorry
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you had to join at a time where I was
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: talking about something so so horrible and so awful. I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: promise you It's not always like that. Anthony, you as well.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: What a what a terrible image? By the way, what
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a horrific image? Yeah, EO, thank you. That's another one
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: right there. I mentioned gun the fucking gunther Julia EO Sky,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: but we got jelly roll all over the place. Spin
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the wheel.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I have one pair of skinny jeans and I'm gonna
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: wear them every week just to piss you off.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Big Dave. Hey Asca the two dollars super chair.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: We're gonna spin the wheel because we need to know
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: what our likes. Goal is going to be Tonight's or
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: our be the booker segment later, let's find out five
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hundred likes all right, So that is the goal. We
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: are already at three forty three. This should be a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: slam dunk. Before I'm even halfway done with this review.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: We should already hit the goal. I want to do
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: six hundred. Anyway, if we hit the goal, we will
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: do be the booker. A little bit later on in
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the stream, you know Karen in the corner there is
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: kind of intimidating. I feel like she's looking at me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: She's kind of unnerving, isn't she. The show opened with
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a recap of last week's WrestleMania contract signing and the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: vicious attack that Randy Orton, the vicious beat down that
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton laid upon Cody Roads. So we see jelly
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Roll there he is again, arriving. I'll never be able
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to look at jelly Roll the same way as long
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: as I live. He walks out of his uh, I
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: guess the car or whatever. And from the opening segment
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the show, jelly Roll was on my screen. And
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: so he arrives at the building and a bunch of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: referees in official they blow right by him. Something's going
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: down behind him in the parking lot. So the cameraman
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: begins to run and we see that there was a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: car accident. One car has slammed into another, and Drew
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: McIntyre is fighting on top of the hood of one
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of these cars with Jacob Fatu. I think he pulled
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: him through the windshield even and he's beating him on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: top of this car, just beating him off. So Drew
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: gets dragged away by the officials. Fatu is bleeding from
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the forehead, which is very interesting because that means that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we had blood in back to back segments here on SmackDown.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Going back to last week, we ended the show with
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: blood and we opened this week's show with blood. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this and I'm like, what is this? Aew?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: What am I watching here? I thought I already watched
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Dynamite the other night. So, in angry Drew McIntyre he
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: storms down to the ring, into the building and down
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to the ring and he said, what happened to Fatu
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is because his WrestleMania main event was taken away from
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: him yet another week where we have to listen, did
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre come out and bitch about being screwed? So
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he's interrupted by Nick Aldos who asks Drew what his
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: problem is, and he talks about how he's never seen
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: someone as self sabotaging as McIntyre. He said, McIntyre wants
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to be on his way to WrestleMania, but the only
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: thing he's on his way to is unemployment. So Drew
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: says that Aldus's son Donovan should be a shame to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have a corporate stooge as a father. There's a commotion though,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: because here comes Jacob Fatu. He's making his way down
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to the ring. Now the officials are trying to block
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: his path. They don't want him to come down to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the ring. And he gets into the ring and he stepped.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just launches Drew McIntyre over the announced
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: desk and into the ring post outside the ring. He's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: got him laid out on top of the desk. Finally
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the officials get him away. Fatu, though, charges back in
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and he leaps off the barricade and he splashes McIntyre
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: through the announced desk, which does break. You know, sometimes
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: these things don't break. But the announced desk collapsed, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: so I thought to myself, that's more like it. You know.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I saw Jacob Fatu getting his ass handed to him
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot at the beginning of the show,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, he better get his revenge here
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: before the show is over. I want to see Jacob
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Fatou the mad man. I want to see Jacob Fatu
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the killer. I want to see the Jacob Fotu that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: goes out there and goes like that, you know where
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: he has that freak outfit that he does. Right, that's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: what Jacob Fatu died. It's like he's possessed or something,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and that's what he That's what we got. That's what
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: he did. Right, we got Jacob Fatu fucking up Drew McIntyre.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I said, that's more like it. And again, we didn't
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: get the match that we were promised. We didn't get
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the match that we were scheduled to get. We all
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know we're going to get it at WrestleMania. This was
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: more of an angle that little did I know, we
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: were not done with this yet. This was the beginning
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: of it. This would carry on throughout the entirety of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the show tonight. But in the end, this accomplished the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: same thing that any match would have accomplished. We all
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: know this is going to Mania with a stipulation of
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: some kind. I have a theory about what that stipulation
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: may be, and we'll get to that later. We had
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Damian Priest. You know what's funny. Of all the things
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned here at the beginning of the of
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this review, I mentioned almost everything that happened on this show,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the one thing I forgot to mention was the fact
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that we had a tag team title change on this show.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It is so inconsequential that I completely forgot that. You
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: have to excuse me anyway, because these shows are like
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: seven hours long, but I had completely forgot that we
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: had new tag team champions Crown tonight. But we had
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a tag team title match to open things up, Damian
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Priest and Our Truth against the MFTs comprised of Tomatonga
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and j. C. Matteo. So apparently it is or was
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: free bird rules with the tag team titles. So they
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: got the heat on Priest for a while, which led
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to a hot tag to Truth, which is kind of weird.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's a little weird. No, you would think that they
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: would beat down Truth and then let Priest get the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: hot tag, but they did it in the opposite order.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: The Truth tags it. But then again, honestly, the fans
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: probably care more about our Truth than they do about
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Damian Priest these days. Sad to say, considering this man
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: as a former world heavyweight champion, But that's kind of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: where we're at. So anyway, Ron Sena gets into the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: ring because he was doing all of John Cena's moves.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Couldn't hit the AA though to Tomatanga, but Truth hit
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Toma with a stunner. I guess from one bald guide
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to another, Truth got the STF applied to J. C.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Matteos Solo Sokoa. He goes and distracts the referee and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that allows Toma to hit a choke slam on the apron.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Truth was able to kick out though on the pin attempt. Hey,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: James Ward, what's going on? Brother? Right back at you?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Say hello to Karen so the Wyatt Six they come
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: out from the back in the middle of this match,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: all the members except Howdy. I didn't see howd Hey
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: there at first. They all come out and they brawl
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: with the MFTs. Uncle Howdy shows up at ringside. He
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: puts the mandible claw on Solo Socoa until J. C.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Matteo rolls outside. He sends Howdy into the barricade and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: then he hands the fucking Lantern. Back to Solo Socoa,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: back inside. Priest lays out Tamba with a clothesline and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Truth drops j. C. Matteo with an AA and pins
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: him to win the tag team titles. Is that true?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Is okay? So that would make sense. They were in
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: ar Truth's home state. They were in North Carolina. They
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: were in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight, so that makes sense.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And they gave him the win too. He got the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: win to win the tag team titles. So that was
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: a nice surprise seeing the titles change hands here. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: actually wasn't really thinking that there would be a title
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: change coming into this show. I didn't really pay any
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: mind to it, like, Oh, we're definitely going to get
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a title change. I was like, Eh, probably not. You know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Wyatts will get involved, it'll get thrown away or
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: some bullshit like that. So for me anyway, it was
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a nice surprise because, and this is the most important thing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: It gets the tag team titles away from the Wyatts
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and the mft's nonsense. It gets the championships away because
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: this few doesn't even need to take It's not even
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: about the tag team titles. It's about a fucking lantern.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: What do the titles need to be involved. The titles
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: are secondary to this other inanimate object. So good get
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the titles away from these two teams and then they
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: can go ahead and they can you know, kill each
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: other and end this. So I can't hate on that
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the fans popped for Truth winning a title. It does
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: make more sense though, if that's true that they were
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: in his home state, so good for him. It gives
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: him a cool little moment there. Priest had a look
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: on his face when this was over. I think he
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: even mouthed the words like, well, I don't believe it,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Like he was a big smile on his face, but
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: he was shocked that they had even won these titles.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And I've always said Damian Priest works better I think
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: when he has other people to play off of, you know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: when he was part of the Judgment day and his
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: interactions backstage with them, playing off the other members, that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: when Damian Priest was at his best. We have not
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: seen that version of Damian Priest since he came to
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: SmackDown so him, you know, associating with our Truth and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there's some comedy in there and interacting with him. Honestly,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that's the worst thing in the world. Uh,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: maybe that could help kind of bring out what's what
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I feel anyway, has been missing in Damian Priest since
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: he came over to SmackDown. Now, there was actually some
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: news that ties into the MFTs that I would like
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: to mention here very quickly and shout out to Andrews
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Aarian of the Matt Men podcast because he's the one
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: who broke the news, and he tweeted earlier today that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: word going around at SmackDown is that Tomatonga was fined
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: by WWE for posting a video of rehearsals last week.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Said that he was told it was a significant fine.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: WWE has an unwritten rule about not recording or posting
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: during rehearsal. I had seen that photo. It was I
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: didn't realize it was Tomatonga who took it, but it
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: was from someone in the aisleway and this was before
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the show last week, and you just see all the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: wrestlers are just sitting around. Some of them are in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the ring, some of them are in the aisleway, and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: they're just kind of shooting the shit, and you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to see. But I can understand
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: WWE not wanting these, you know, images to get out there.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing because I saw some people
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: mention WWE Unreal, and yes there is hypocrisy involved here,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of course, But when they filmed WWE Unreal, right, it's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: very controlled what they want you to see. WWE does
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: not like not having control, So there's a difference there.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, the shit that you see
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: on Unreal is filmed months in advance. So this is
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit different because you have somebody who's there
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and they're snapping photos that they're shooting video and then boom,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it hits social media. Now the thing with
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Tomatonga and a lot of people may not know it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: This is not the first time that he's been posting
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: stuff like this, Like he's been posting videos and photos
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and stuff on his ig or his TikTok maybe both
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: for a while. Now. I'm kind of surprised it took
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: this long for us to hear that he was, you know,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: admonished by the company. I think it was within the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: last few weeks. He had posted a photo it looked
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: like it was backstage of catering and Ray Phoenix was
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: in the photo and he was completely unmasked, And I
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you, when I first saw the photo,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't even really recognize who it was. Like, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: don't know what I imagined because you could kind of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: see his face through the mask when you see him
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: on TV. Whatever I imagined Ray Phoenix looking like it
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: was not what I saw in that photo. But there
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: he was. And it's like, okay, you know what, For
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: all we know, I don't know if wwe may have
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: said something to him before warned him not to do it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: He did it anyway, Like we don't have all the details,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: but evidently it was a significant fine and I'm sure
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: he will not be doing it again after that. So anyway,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: that's your mft's update. The Bella Twins. They were interviewed
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: backstage by Kathy Kelly about their tag team championship match tonight.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss show up and they're eating
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: ice cream. This is the new thing now where we
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: see this every week, one or both of them are
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: usually eating ice cream here on this show. And Arlot
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: accuses them of being selfish for cutting the line. Right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they're cutting the line. They deserve a shot of the titles,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: not the Bella Twins, which honestly no lies detected. This
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: is the first fucking match they had tonight in eight years,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and they're getting a tag team championship match. So Nikki
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Bella invites them to come sit ringside for their match,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and they say that they'll show them how real legends
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: get it done. And then Brie steals Alexis spoon that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: she was eating the ice cream with. Ugh, this is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: wonderful television. Isn't as riveting television? She stole her spoon. Meanwhile,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: we go from that wonderful segment to another wonderful segment
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: because we go back to Johnny Gargano. And I'll give
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you one guess what Johnny Gargano was doing. If you said,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: laying on a crate, congratulations. I don't have anything to
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: give you, but you win. Laying on a fucking crate,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: as he's been doing every week for at least the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: last month and a half. I don't know how long
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: it's been, really Ever since he lost his tag team
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: partner and Tomaso Champa left to go to aw Johnny
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Gargano has been in a deep depression. I would be
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: too if I was booked the way that Johnny Gargano
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: was on this show. So he was laying on this
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: cradle depressed, and Candice Larray is still trying to figure out,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you know, a solution to all this, trying to figure
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: out what to do here. I mean, at this point,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I would say divorce should be on the table. Dan
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Housen shows up and he offers to help, but he's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: gonna need twenty bucks, and Candice obliges. She gives him
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the money and then he vanishes. So evidently Dan Housen
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: is a modern day buzz sawyer. Hey, I'll train you kid,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Just pay me three thousand dollars. Then you pay him
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and he just kind of up and leaves town. Go
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: ask the Undertaker, he'll tell the story in the back.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So I guess that means that Dan Housen is a carnie. Yeah,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: he's perfect for the wrestling business. We go to Kathy
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Kelly and she was there to interview Sammy's Ain speaking
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of depressed. Why does it feel like everybody on this
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: show is depressed? Sammy's Ain has looked depressed for weeks
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and weeks he's smacking water bottles around. Johnny Gargano is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: just comatose, basically catatonic, laying on top of a fucking box.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Every week Drew McIntyre goes around talking about how screwed
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: he is. Everyone's so fucking miserable on this show. She
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: wanted his thoughts on what happened last week to Cody Rhodes.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Sammy has a match with Alistair Black tonight, he said,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but he can't stop thinking about what happened last week.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: It's hard. Look, I don't disagree with you in the chat.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: It's hard not to be depressed about SmackDown. You know what.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I think you're on the right track here. I can't
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: really blame any of these people. I'd be depressed too
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: if I had anything to do with this show. I'm
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: depressed just sitting here reviewing it on most weeks. This
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: week wasn't as bad as usual, but this show is
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: pretty fucking bad. But he can't stop thinking about what
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: happened to Cody Rhoads. He said that he's said a
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: lot about Cody recently. He has said a lot to Cody,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: but Cody always tries to be good. Cody always tries
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: to do everything he can for the fans and be
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: a good person and Look what happened. Look what it
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: got him. It got him all bloodied up and stretchered out,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and it's made Sammy rethink everything he believes in. Maybe
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the world he believes in simply doesn't exist. So Trick
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Williams shows up, puts himself over for beating Jacob Fatu
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: last week. Sammy says, you know, we don't have to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: keep talking. We could basically we could throw hands right
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: here and now, and Trick says, hold up, you got
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a match tonight. If I have time, maybe I'll come
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: check it out. So that led into Phraxium. They took
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: on the MotorCity machine Gun. MotorCity machine guns, lots of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: fast paced action as you would imagine, especially Nathan Frasier,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: who I mean he is just he's like a bullet
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: out there. He did a dive out of the ring
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: at one point onto the machine guns where he basically
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if he barely touched them, but
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he basically was like right in front of the announced desk,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and he basically did a flip out of the ring
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: and landed over that. He like vaulted over them, almost
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: ran right into the announced desk. This guy's out of control,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: But as you would imagine a lot of fast paced
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: action here from two teams that frankly are very underutilized
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: here on this show. You know, the tagting division has
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: been in shambles for a while, but these two teams
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: are very much underutilized. And before people say, oh, well
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: they're not over, they're not over, Yeah, well, how are
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you gonna get over if you don't come up with
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: good stories for them to be involved in and consistently
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: feature them here on these shows? Of course they're not over.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: How are they supposed to get over if they're either
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: never on the show or when they are finally on
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the show, you have them in the back playing therapist
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: to Johnny Gargano who's laying on a box, or they're
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: stealing a mask scrim the whole mask angle with Gargano
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: stealing Axiom's mask. Oh compelling TV. Why don't you come
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: up with some good shit for them to do and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: give them a reason to actually go out and do
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: what they do best. The only way these teams are
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: ever gonna get over is in the ring, because let's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: be honest, here we're talking about phraxium, We're talking about
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the MotorCity machine guns, two very talented teams. Okay, personality wise,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: character wise, there's nothing going on there. Okay, none of
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: these guys are ever gonna go out there, and no
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: one's gonna ever mistake them for being the most compelling
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: characters on the show. What are these guys known for.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They're known for going out there, you ring the bell,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: and they have great wrestling matches. So now it's up
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to you, if you're on the writing team, to come
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: up with compelling stories to wrap around those matches, to
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: give them a reason to go out there and do
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: what they do best, because we don't want them just
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: going out there having random matches, right, You want to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: have a reason for them to go out there and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: fight this team and that team. Right. But you got
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to work cohesively here. You gotta help these guys out here.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: You sign them, you brought them into the company because
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you saw something in them. Now do something with them.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Don't just discard them because well, the fans aren't really
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: reacting to them. So hey, you know, hey, we tried.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: No you didn't, No, you didn't. I mean the motor
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: City machine Guns. What have they been doing over the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: last few months. We know they've been there. Street profits
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: have just completely vanished off the face to the fucking earth.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Di why is not a thing anymore? So they lost
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: some teams right, pretty deadly. They've lost a whole bunch
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: of teams Los Garzo. I mean, how often are they
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: on TV? Of course nobody cares about these guys. Candace Lray,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: she appeared in the aisleway late in this match, and
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: she wanted to get an up close view of the match.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: But the question is why why is she out here?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: So we got a suicide dive party from Phraxium to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the machine guns outside before Candace then walks down to
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the ring and she nails Nathan Fraser with a cheap
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: shot and that knocks him backwards into a Chris Sabin
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: roll up and he wins it for the machine guns.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: So they played it like Sabin had no idea what
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Candace did. Alex Shelley clearly did. He was looking at her.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: He was standing behind Sabin. Saban's celebrating, and you can
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: see Shelley in the background like looking over at Candace
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: looking look at it, Saban, look at it. Canvas back
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: in the aisle, say he was well aware of what
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: had happened. There and look, the best I can say
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: about that. It may not be the best story, but
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: at least they are finally coming up with some kind
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: of story. I mean, we got to move this shit
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: along though with Gargano, but some kind of story where
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they're making you think, is this going to drive a
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: wedge between the members of the machine Guns. Saban didn't
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: know what happened, but Shelley did. It's very weak, but
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: it's something. It's something. Something is better than nothing. Something
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: at least you can work with, something you can build
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: on right and hope that you could turn it into something.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So at least they're trying something with these guys. I
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you, though, on the Johnny Gargano stuff, I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: don't know how long he has left on his contract.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything or read anything about his contract
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: being up imminently or anything like that or any sort
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of expectation he's going to join his partner in aaw
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: But boy, you know, Johnny garganoo is dead in the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: water in this company. He's done. He's done. Yeah. We
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: talk about people that have a certain ceiling, like he's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: already hit his ceiling in this company. It's very clear like,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: what is there for him to do? He is still
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: hanging out with the tag teams. He's not a tag
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: team wrestler anymore. He lost his tag team partner, but
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: yet he's still doing this silly angle and hanging out
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: with Phraxium and with the machine guns. Why where is
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: this leading? Like, what's the end goal with this? Eventually
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: he won't be depressed anymore. Okay, great, so then he'll
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: be back to his normal self, where again he'll be
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: on television maybe once a month, and he won't be
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: doing anything of substance. I don't see a future for
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: him in this company. I really don't. At least if
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: his contract was up and he wanted to leave and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: go somewhere else, he could look he could reunite with Shampa,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and there is a tag team division that I think
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: those teams that they have over there, honestly would fit
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: their se a lot better. And I think you know
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: that's true, the teams they have over there in aw Dy,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: working against those guys, it would fit like a glove.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: That would be his best option at this point, because
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you cannot honestly sit there and tell me that at
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the end of all of this, Johnny Gargana was going
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to be in a spot that's any better than the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: one he's in right now. Very clear to me that
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: whatever Triple H saw in him in Black and Gold
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: n XT, and I mean, he was such an important
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: pivotal part of that brand. This Triple H on the
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: main roster with all the other big names they have,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Johnny Gargana just don't fit in there. But if he's
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: content to just lay around on a crate every week,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: fly himself all over the country and just lay on
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a crate, then hey, you know, hey, make that shedder.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I hope the money is good. I don't really know
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: what else to say. Then it was time to hear
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: from the man of the hour. It was time to
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: hear from Randy Orton Cinematics says Shelley and Gargana will
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: be a new tag team and they will kick out
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Chris Saban. Ah. Okay, so then that's the end of
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Chris Saban. There's no good there's no good outcome in
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: any of these scenarios for any of these guys. That
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: would be a terrible idea. It keeps the lights on. Yeah,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I guess. So I'm just saying he'd be able to
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: keep the lights on there too. But I think for
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the style of match that he became so well known
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: for having in Black and Gold, it would be a
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: better fit for him. That's all I'm saying. Not that
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: AW needs to just keep filling their roster of with
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: more people, but I'm just saying in terms of like
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: a fit, that would seem to be the better fit.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: So Randy Orton was out to the ring next, and
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: he was by no means booed during his entrance. In fact,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the fans cheered and they sang his song as he
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: made his way down to the ring. And I'm watching
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: this and I'm just thinking to myself, poor Cody Man
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: was massacred, he was left in just a bloody heap
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: last week. And these people, they just want to sing
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: for Randy Orton, That's all they want to do. So
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Orton grabbed the chair he sat in the ring and
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: he said, you know, for years the fans would sing
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: along to my entrance music. What a feeling it is.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: The love that you people show me means so much
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to him. So he tries to give it back, and
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: he signs autographs and he signs their posters and their
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: replica belts and whatever they put in front of him.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: When he comes down to the ring, he'll see a
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: little kid that says, Randle, it's my birthda. So he'll
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: go over and he'll wish them a happy birthday. And
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you know, he knows that kid is going to remember
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that moment for the rest of his life. He loves that.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: You know, he can put a smile on his face.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: That smile, he says, though, smile that all of this
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: puts on Randy Orton's face, he says, is the emptiest
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: feeling that he has ever felt in his entire life. Now,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you would think at that moment the fans would go boo,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: but not really. The fans were not interested in booing
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton even though, and maybe they didn't realize that
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: he was insulting them, I don't know, but they didn't care.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: So he said, he's been doing this longer than most,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: but nothing lasts forever. So when the time comes that
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: he has to hang up the boots, he doesn't want
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that to be his legacy. What he wants to be
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: his legacy is how many championships, how much championship gold
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: he's put around his waist, And he got cheered. They
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: cheered it. They were agreeing with everything this man is saying. Yes,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: it should be about championships. That's what your legacy should
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: be based on, not signing autographs with a little snot
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: nose brat in the front row. Now wrong with my brother,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm my car I go fuck you. It's not
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: about that. It's about championships. He look over my shoulder.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: It's about championships. The fans agree. Not long ago, he
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: said he won the elimination Chamber. He was going to
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: fight Drew McIntyre for the title, but then Cody came
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: into the picture and he beat Drew. He took the title,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: and he didn't know if he could be who he
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: had to be to beat Cody. Says he loves Cody
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: like a brother, still does. He still loves Cody, But
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: last week Cody took all that weight off his shoulders
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: when Cody told him he needed Randy to be the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: best version of himself. He needed Randy to listen to
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the voices and he goes sometimes and this is what
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Cody doesn't understand. Says, sometimes he's not in control of
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the voices that are in his head, but he knows
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that he needs that killer instinct to add number fifteen
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to his legacy and going to do it with an
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: RKO at WrestleMania, and he got loud RKO chants from
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the crowd. He says, I hear voices in my head.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: They counsel me, they understand, They talk to me. They
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: tell me that I'm going to beat Cody Rhodes, and
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the fans cheered. They tell him he is going to
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: beat Cody Rhoads for the WWE Championship. He's getting more
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: and more intense now, like he is beat red. Okay,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: like he his head looks like it's going to pop
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: off his shoulders. He's getting so intense now. And with that,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: he placed the microphone down on top of the chair
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: that he was sitting in and he gazed up at
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the WrestleMania sign. There was not a single mention by
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Orton here in this promo or by the announcers. It
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: was never even broached, to the best of my knowledge
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: here by the announcers of what we saw Monday night,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: the segment they inserted into the sho show with the
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: phone call, which is one of the things I was
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: waiting to see if was going to be addressed or
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: resolved here on this show, right who was he on
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the phone with? There was no mention of it, which
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: was very odd that it wasn't even just mentioned by
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Tessitur Wade Barrett. It just wasn't even a topic
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: of conversation here, and obviously Randy didn't you know, address
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: it in the promo either. We did get a small
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: follow up to it though later on in the show,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: so it was addressed kind of. It was addressed later on.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: But as I'm sitting here watching the promo, I'm like, man,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: one of the things I was most looking forward to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: seeing him talk about, and I don't know if it
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: was going to be revealed, but at least address you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: who he was on the phone with on Monday night
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: and hearing this one that never came up the rest
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: of the promo. Honestly, it was about what you would
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: expect it to be. I was watching some people in
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the chat earlier and there was some divided I think
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: there was some divided opinion on you know, the nature
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: of the segment. You know it was boring or oh
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Everybody was pretty much unified in the
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: idea that Randy. He looked like he was about to explode,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: because when he gets all wound up like that, that's
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: what happens to me. It wasn't great, and it wasn't terrible.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I think that all. And we didn't learn anything new.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: There was no new information really in this promo that
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: we did not already surmise by watching the end of
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the show last week or what I talked about in
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: the review and on the podcast, as far as you know,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: the kind of the idea I think behind what they
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: were going for here. He struggled with, how am I
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: going to be that old Randy Orton if I have
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: to do it against this guy? Right? This is my bro.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I love this guy. I don't want to kill this guy,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre. I'll kill him, but I don't want to
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: kill Cody. How am I going to do this? Remember?
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: And then Cody cut him off before he could even finish,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and Cody's like, I want the best Randy Orton. I
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: love you, I'll always love you no matter what. And
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I said, as soon as he said that, it was
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: a weight off of Randy's shoulders, like okay, I'm glad
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: you said that, And then boom, right, kicked him in
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the dick, bloodied him up, fucking smashed his head in
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: with the chair. It's almost like Cody gave him permission
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: when he said that to do what he needed to do,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and that's basically what he reinforced, you know here in
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: this promo. He gave him permission to be that version
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of himself that he needed to be, because the only
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: thing that matters to Randy Orton right now is winning
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: number fifteen. I said, it's been like six years since
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton has been WWE champion. He has not been
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: a world champion in six years, so this is something
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: that is long overdue, and everything is about number fifteen.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: It's everything that I was waiting for and hoping for
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Sina to talk about going into WrestleMania last year right
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: where it's all about number seventeen. It's all about cementing
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: his legacy. Not because I want to ruin wrestling, but
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: because this is so important to me, I'm willing to
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: go the extra mile and do whatever it takes to
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: get there to be that version of myself that I
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: need to be. So again, it's exactly I think what
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: many of us figured the story behind his actions would be.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: He just articulated it here, but we didn't glean anything
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: new from it or anything like that. I'm just very
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: happy we didn't get the obligatory you people promo where
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: he just went out there and healed on the fans
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and blamed the fans it's all your fault, because that
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: would have been fucking lazy. We got it last year.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: We get it almost all the time from so many
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: people when they turn heel. You know, you can't just
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: run back the same play over and over again. So
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I was at least happy they didn't go in that direction.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: He was not overly heal in this promo. Now you
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: watch what happened last week. It's the Randy Yorton heel turn.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: They're playing it in a very interesting way though, where
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: it really wasn't a heel turn per se. It was
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: just Randy allowing his kind of evil thoughts to intrude.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Because you can see even when he attacked Cody or
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Cardona tonight, kind of he stops right, he puts his
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: head in his hands like, oh my god, I can't
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: believe I did this. Oh my god, I just I
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: lost myself there for a second. He's crazy he's crazy.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: He's still coming down to the ring and smacking hands
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: with little kids and they're singing his song. And he
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: hasn't fully gone heel just yet. Right, We've had flashes
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: of it so far, but he hasn't fully taken the
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: leap yet. So they're playing it, I think in a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: very interesting way. The thing is that these fans are
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: not going to boo him. It's going to be a
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: challenge if the goal is to get them to boo
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Randy and cheer Cody and not have like a split reaction.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: And I would imagine they had to already know this,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: but it's very clear from watching TV the last two
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: weeks you're not gonna get You're not gonna get that
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: kind of reaction where it's all or nothing, you know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: one one over the other. It's gonna be challenging. But look,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I have seen Cody Rhodes before, and he did this
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: actually with John Cena last year. Come out and cut
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: that fiery baby face promo. He did it with the
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: drewmacintyre feud as well. He can win those people over
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: with a good fiery babyface promo, and if he can
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: pull that out of himself, I think that that will help.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: That will go a long way to just make sure
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: you can kind of coalesce those fans around Cody, even
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: if they still, you know, some of them cheer Randy.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: That's fine, boy. You don't want is just everybody booing
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Cody going into WrestleMania. LUs. The idea is to and
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: this would be very interesting. Again, I don't see them
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: doing this. I've talked about all the reasons why I
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: don't think they should or that they won't don't. But
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: the idea of a double turn where if you do
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: believe Randy has turned and embrace the dark side, Cody
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: ends up embracing the dark side of WrestleMania. And since
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the people don't want to boo Randy anyway, it wouldn't
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: be much of a stretch to kind of get them
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: back on his side and you do a double turn
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: in Mania. Now, that would be bold, That would be
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a bold move on their part. And in a perfect
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: world where they had somebody already lined up, not Randy
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Orton to slide into that top baby face position, I
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: would say, fucking go for it. What an incredible ending
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: to that night of WrestleMania. But they don't have anybody else.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: They don't have anybody else who's ready to step up
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: and be that guy. If you take that away from Cody.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Somebody has to be ready to step into that spot.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: So that's the only reason I think that it's not
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: going to happen anytime soon, really, but that would be
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: a bold move if they wanted to try. I had
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: to pull that off. At WrestleMania Now backstage after the
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: commercial break, Orton was walking backstage and he came upon
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Matt Cardona, whose job apparently is him just standing around
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: doing nothing in the back on most weeks. Some weeks
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: he's back there talking to Apollo Cruz. Other weeks he's
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: just standing around just you know what it was like.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: These are real life cut scenes in the back from
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: the WWE two K video games. Now. I haven't played
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: two K twenty six. I don't know if it's even
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: worth it or if it's that radically different from two
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: K twenty five, but I remember playing two K and
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I'm in the back and you have options of who
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you can walk up to and talk to. They're just
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: randomly standing there. They're not doing anything, and you're like, Okay,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: my choice is the MIZZ or fucking Jay Uso. It's like,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: all right, fine, I'll talk to Jay Uso. It'll be
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: a short conversation. And so you Mosyana and but Jay
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: is just standing there. So you walk up to Jay
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and you say hi, and he goes yea, and that's
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the end of the conversation. But that's what this is like,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: for random people just standing around in the back waiting
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: for someone to walk up to them so they can
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: engage and have a conversation. So he bumps into Matt Cardona.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Orton said, look, I got no beef with you. You
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: got something to say, clearly, spit it out. And Cardona
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: wanted to know what the hell was that about last
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: week with Cody, Orton exploded on him. How dare you
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: you've got the nerve to talk to me like that?
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: He asked, Cardona, don't you have any action figures to
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: go play along, to go play around with? And he
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: said he called no, this was this was something. He
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: called him a mark ass stooge and an indie nerd.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: She just fucking buried this guy six ways to Sunday
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: back there, a Mark ass stooge and an indie nerd.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Go play with your action figure? He should have said
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: dolls to really put it over the top. He should
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: have said, go play with your dolls. Well, my balls
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: are action fuckings. See, he made a mistake there that
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: would have made it even better if he would have
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: called them dolls. So then he says, you're wasting my time,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: and he went to go walk off. But then he
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: came back and he gave Cardona a cheap shot, and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: then he looked down at him and he told him,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: stay out of my business. You wouldn't understand not the
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: last time we would see these two together on this show. Yeah,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: he's just very He just buried him. He had secondhand
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: embarrassed been watching. Yeah, I'm not surprised you Mark ass stooge,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: indie nerd geek, go play with your dolls. We had
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Sammy's ain speaking of Marc ask Geeks, Sammy's ay one
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: on one with Alistair Black. The crowd was pretty pretty
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: dead for Sammy's entrance. I don't think he has ever
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: been colder than he is right now, at least not
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: on the main roster since he joined WWE, even though
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I have to say some of the backstage segments he's
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: been involved in, especially his interactions with Cody honestly have
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: been some of the more compelling things on this show
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: in recent weeks. I don't know what that says. I
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: don't know what that says about this show, that those
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: are some of the more compelling segments they've done. But
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: when he comes out here now you could sense it,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: you know, with these audiences, they're just they're not behind
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: him in the way they used to be. And I
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: don't think it should be all that surprising because I
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: don't know that people really know where he stands right now.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: He's having all this self doubt and it's like every
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: week is a fucking pity party with this guy. Nobody
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: wants to get behind someone who feels sorry for themselves.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Like every week again he's depressed like half the people
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: on this show, and he's smacking water bottles around and
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: he just he doesn't, you know, believe in himself. You know,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I know I could be a world champion, but never
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: works out for me. But you look at you, Cody,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: You got the belts, You're the golden bat, Like shut up, dude,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Like you're fucking loser. Like no one wants to cheer
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: for that. So something has to give very soon. With him.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Either he has to go heal or he just has
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: to find a backbone and get a harder edge to him,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: because right now everyone's just sort of apathetic towards him,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: you know, when he comes out here. So the lights
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: went out just as the match was about to begin,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: and Trick Williams came out to ringside to observe. Now
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: there's a man who gets a reaction every week. They
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: went to commercial about ninety seconds into this, and during commercial,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Tricks stay up on the announced desk and he begins
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: to gyr. He's looking at at the crowd and he
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: just begins to gyrate, and the crowd is channing. Whooped
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: that trick and they these people cannot possibly care any
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: less about the match that is happening inside the ring,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and Sammy's like glancing over at him to see what's
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: going on. So late in the match, Sammy connected with
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: an exploder into the corner and the fans began to
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: boo him. Okay, they began to boo Sammy's ain as
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: he started to mount some offense here. I think that
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: says it all. He tried for a halluva kick. Alistair
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: rolled out of the ring. Sammy went outside and he
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: smacks Trick's leg off the announced desk. A Trick was
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: being a little too comfortable out there. He smacks his
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: leg off and he puts Black back in the ring
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: before he could go back in the ring with him. Though,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Trick stands up, he splashes his drink right across Sammy's back.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Sammy turns around and he's staring at him, and he
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: looks like he's about to attack him. He looks back
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: at the ring. He see the referee is counting. He's
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: up to five or six, and he's got to make
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: a decision. Do I go back in the ring or
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: do I risk being counted out and beat the piss
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: out of this guy. So he makes like he's going
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: to go back in the ring, but then he turns
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: around and he attacks Trick and he begins to rain
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: blows down upon him. He's pummeling this man. By the
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: time Sammy gets back in the ring, though, he got caught,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: and I do mean caught. They showed a slow mo
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: replay of this. It looked fucking fantastic. He caught him
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: right on there him. He rocked his jaw with a
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: black mass kick, and Sammy just crumbled in a heap
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: on the mat, and that allowed Alistair Black to secure
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: yet another big win. I say another because remember a
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: month ago on this very show, Alistair Black pinned Randy Orton.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Now that sounds great, right, He's got pinfall wins now
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: over Randy Orton, who could very well be extra champion.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: He's got to win now over Sammy's aim, Right, man,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: this guy's going places. Except he's probably not, because both
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: in both cases, if you remember the match with Orton,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: it was more about Drew McIntyre coming out and Drew
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: McIntyre getting involved or just kind of distracting from what
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: was going on in the ring, and that led to
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Orton losing, and he was kind of an afterthought Alistair was.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: In this case. It was the same thing where it
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't even really about Alistair winning. It was more about
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: the stuff with Sammy and Trick, and Sammy allowing Trick
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: to kind of get in his head and get to him,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: and Alistair was an afterthought. So he's winning matches, But
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: what does it really mean if he's an afterthought and
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: all of it, You know, I don't know where it's
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: necessarily going to lead to anything of any significance for him.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's great that he's winning matches, but if
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: you're not the focal point, it doesn't matter. Like you
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: could go out there and win all of your matches,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: but if you're sort of background noise to the larger
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: story that's going on, yeah, it doesn't really matter. And
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where he is right now. So Sammy
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: against Trick, I mean that seems pretty evident at this
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: point to be a direction for WrestleMania. I mean they've
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: been teasing it since January. Really, when Trick came to
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: the main roster, Sammy was one of the first people
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: he interacted with. They haven't gotten along since. So at
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: one time I thought maybe Trick would be in line
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: for a US title match. Honestly, after tonight maybe he
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: still will be. I'd love to see it, but they've
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: done nothing in that direction, and we are four weeks
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: actually less than four weeks away now from WrestleMania. Everything
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: points to Sammy and Trick on that show. But again,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: with Sammy, they're gonna have to come up with something
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: real quick. As far as this character is concerned, it
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: feels to me like it's going somewhere soon for his sake.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: I hope they get there, and I hope whatever they
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: got planned is really good, because he's dying on the
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: vine out there. Fans just aren't reacting to him in
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: the way they used to. It's sad, you know, he
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: used to be one of those guys on the show.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking just with the bloodline stuff,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: but he was. He's always been someone that the fans
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: could relate to. Was like an underdog. He's a great
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: underdog on the show. You can only play that card
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: for so long, though, you know, and he's been there
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: for so long. Sometimes you gotta find that harder edge,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: right or you just got to make some kind of
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: a move. Maybe it's a heeled to I don't know
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: about even turning him heel like. I'm not even sure
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: if that's the answer, but you got to do something different.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: In the back, Matt Cardona was very upset about his
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: interaction earlier with Randy Orton, and he went to Nick
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: all this and he demanded a match tonight and he
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: was told, no, I don't even think all this really
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: had a great an answer for him. He was basically
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: just shut him down, and Cardona walked off, So then
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes shows up and he's like, what is this.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I hear about the open Challenge tonight being closed? All
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: this tells him, yeah, well somebody stepped up and made
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: a compelling argument for a match tonight. Hayes turns around
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: and there's Ilia Dragon of and he's ready for combat.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: He's dressed and ready to go. And he says he
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: might always be fighting himself because he's been talking about
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: how every week with him like, it's a struggle in
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: my own head. And you know, I'm either I'm at
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: a ten or I'm met like a two, and I
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: just I can't really find that perfect, like you know,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: level that I need to be at. Here, it's all
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: this nonsense, Like all of a sudden, he's doubting himself.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: All these people having self doubts on this show? What
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: is going on here on this on this show, I'm raw.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: You've got brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, you know, going
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: after each other. You got Seth Rolin and the Putty
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Patrol running around. You've got the Judgment Day. There's always
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: drama with the Judgment Day. I don't see people moping
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: around all depressed though and getting in their fucking heads. Unwraw.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: There's something about this show. I don't know what it is.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: There's something you would think on Fridays, people would be
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: happy it's Friday, right tgif it's the end of the week.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Monday was always the depressing day. I don't see any
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: of this shit on Monday, though it's only on Friday.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. Oh, it's a direction. You can fuck hey, Luis,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: look at this twenty two dollars super Jet's right, you
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: tell them where they can go. I think we need
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: some mental health counselors backstage at SmackDown each week. Get
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: some couch time. I think that would be a big benefit.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: So the WWE Women's Champion, oh boy from depression. We
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: go to a Jade Cargill who came out with the
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: world's largest neck pillow. I don't know what was going
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: on with that. As soon as she gets in the ring,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: she said that she knows Ria is in the back,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: and she demands that Ria Ripley come out to the ring.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Rhea Ripley comes out. She gets the loudest reaction of
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: almost anybody on the entire show, and she wondered, look
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: are we gonna keep talking and doing this or are
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: we gonna throw down? And Jade says, it's not about
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: what you want. She said, I don't need the title
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: and I don't need the fans. She goes with or
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: without wrestling. I'm that bitch. She says this every week.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm that bitch. I'm that bitch. I'm
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: that bitch every week. She's not here to make friends,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: she's here to make money. So now she's lifting lines
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: from other people's promos. Rhea said that Jade's already been
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: pretty successful on the no friend's part. She said that
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: she didn't need the title. The title needed her. Basically,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Rio was here to rescue the title from Jade, and
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: then she said to Jade, welcome to the big leagues. Bitch.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Ripley told Jade that I'll even give you the first shot,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: and she's begging her, she's begging her fire the first
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: shot here hit me and Jade said, nah, on my time,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: and she goes to leave the ring. Now, as Jade
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: is leaving, we see me Chin me Chin with her
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: trusty Kendostick and Befab, a very intimidating duo, and they're
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: in the aisleway and they're blocking Jade's path, so she
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: can't go. Jade realizes she's stuck. She turns around. She
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: sees Riha in the ring, and all of a sudden,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: this look of concern on Jade's face turns to a smile,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and Beachen and Bfab they stand beside her. It's a swerve.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: And I remember I mentioned last week in one of
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the backstage segments in the back in the background, you
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: could see Jade having a conversation with Bfab, and then
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: they ended up walking off together. And I said, I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: wonder if we're gonna get I don't know if she's
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: gonna call them batties, but basically her own version of
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: the batties that she had in AAW she had leis
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: La Gray. I always forget the name of the other bell,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Kiera Hogan, I think was the other one. Why not
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: have her, you know, have something similar here in WWI,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: And now she does. She's got Meechen and she's got Bfabs.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: So now they surround the ring. Rihea is out numbered
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: here and they all climb into the ring and Rihea
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: is trying to fight them off, but Meechen hits her
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: with the kendo stick. Right across the ribs. So they
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: all are holding Rhea for Jade to deliver a kick
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: with her high heels. By the way she kicks, and
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: then she drops her with Jaded and they all pose together.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: And so now Jade has a crew of her own.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Venom says PMS. But without Sean, Yes, Sean Staysiac. Now
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: you gotta get it right, it's meat. Well. I'll tell
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: you what, if Sean Staysiac was part of this group,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: you'd have meet Chin and you'd have meat Chin. There
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: you go. I don't know what he's up to these days,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure he'd love to be a part of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: this crew. As far as the promo goes, Jay's not
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: very good at them, and I feel like for the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: last three weeks we have just heard some variation of
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the same shit from these two over and over again.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: So this promo was not good. Again, I don't know
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: what Jade was wearing around her neck. It was bizarre.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: But you know, I will say one nice thing about
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: this though, I actually think taking the tack of her
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: saying I don't need wrestling, Like she's the champion and
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: she's out there saying I don't need the belt I
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: don't need the belt, I don't need wrestling. I'm going
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: to be a star with or without wrestling. Right, they're
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: basically just kind of playing off of what I think
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of people feel about her. They're playing off
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: people's perceptions of her, and I don't know that that's
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. Why not lean into that? You know
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: it might get her more heat that way, So I mean,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with them taking that approach. And as far
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: as her having Meechin and b Fab with her, Meechin
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: and b Fab weren't doing anything else on the show.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Of course, they've been feuding for months. These women have
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: been feuding for months, so you look at it and go,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: what has changed. It's preposterous that all of a sudden
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: they would be willing to be Lackey's for this woman.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: But it's the old expression, if you can't beat them,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: join them. How many people that were beaten up by
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the nWo back in the day ultimately join the nWo.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Now why would they do that? Right? They would do
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: it because they're tired of getting their asses kicked and
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: they see no other recourse here other than to simply
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: join up with the nWo. In this case, Mechin and BFAB.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: They weren't beaten Jade for that championship. No matter how
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: many times they got in the ring together, it wasn't
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: going to work out for them. So maybe they just said,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: you know what, we might just be better off hanging
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: out with the champion. I agree. I mean, it's preposterous.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: I look forward to there being a rational explanation for this.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: If they go on TV next week and explore social
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: media or whatever and they explain why they decided to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: link up with Jade right now and help protect that title, great,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: I'd love to hear it. But I mean, we can't
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: pretend we haven't seen this thing in wrestling before. We've
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: seen it all the time over the years. Sometimes it
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: makes sense, sometimes it doesn't. I don't mind them being
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: paired off with Jade, and here's the other reason why,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: because it means they're no longer feuding. We no longer
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: need any Jade Cargill Meechin matches or Jade Cargill BFAB matches.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, two women who I think have worked
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: with Jade and both got injured working with Jade. Yeah,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: I'd rather be on the same side with her too. Anyway,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I don't really have anything else to say about this segment.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: This feud hasn't been hitting. This feud has not been
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: hitting since they kick started it. Maybe now Jade has
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: some people to boss around. It's a new obstacle for
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Rhea Ripley to overcome that. Try not to laugh when
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: I say that, because it's meechin and b fab that
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: we're talking about here. I know, I'm sure Rhea Ripley
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: is shaking in her boots, but don't laugh. But it
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: does kind of stack the deck a little bit against
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Rhea heading into WrestleMania. And here's the other thing. It
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: gives Ria people that she could just go in there
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: and be and toss around if they want to keep
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: her and Jade a part as much as possible, She's
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: got to work with somebody. We can't we can't have
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: three weeks of these promos. I'm sorry, Like, I can't
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: do it. We can't have three more weeks of them
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: coming out and going hit me, I'm not bitch, hit me,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not bitch, and then run it back again the
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: week after, like we gotta we gotta change it up.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we can't just keep doing this over and
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: over again, Oh my god, and said, you wonder why
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: I'm so like depressed about Bianca bell Air not being
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: back by now the boy as she needed on this show.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Holy shit. We go backstage, the Miss and Kit Wilson
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: are deep in conversation talking about how Miss should approach
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: the jelly rule situation, and Dan Housen shows up, so
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Miss said, uh, I'm not gonna mentor you, and all
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, there was a ladder behind them that fell,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: because you see, he was cursed last week, He's still cursed.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: So after Kit Wilson left, there was another ladder that fell,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: but it fell on the Mizz and whatever. So elsewhere
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: in the back, Solo Sokoa is with the MFTs and
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: he is pissed. He's pissed at them for losing the
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: tag team titles. Tamatanga tells Solo give the lantern back,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, listen to Tomatanga. Okay, listen to
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Tama Tanga. Give the lantern back. That's all you need
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: to do. And this whole situation goes away and I
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: don't have to watch this anymore. So he tells him,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: give the lantern back. You haven't been yourself in fact,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: you're starting to sound like Roman. Sola doesn't like that
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: very much. He wants to know what did you just
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: say to me? And before things can get any more
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: tense between them, all of a sudden, Jacob fought too
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: and Drew McIntyre they brawl into camera view. They're still brawling.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: They've been fighting this entire time. Remember the Slammy Awards.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Old all you old heads in here, you'll know what
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about if you remember, there was a Slammy
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Awards show they used to do a whole show. This
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: was the one they did in eighty seven. There was
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: a brawl you talk about wild brawls with Harley Race
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: and Hacksaw Jim Duggan and they fight off stage into
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: the backstage area. I would love to know if and
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: when they pre taped all of this, because I'm sure
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: they did. They fight into the back and dude, there
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: are wild animals. There's chickens, and there's roosters, and there's
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: just all kinds. I don't know what was going on
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: back there. And the fight continues on and they're fighting
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: all throughout the building, throughout the entire show, into the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: makeup room. Bobby Heenan's running around and the bit ends
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: with them kind of falling through or blasting through like
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: the wall, and and they end up back on stage.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: But it was like almost like a show long brawl.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: That was basically Drew McIntyre and Jacob fought toot And
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: I've been not nearly as entertaining as that was. But
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you look it up Slammy Awards eighty seven
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: You'll see what I'm talking about. Yes, hey, didn't got
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: dragged into a pig pen. I actually there were some
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: animals I think that were harmed in the filming of that.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they killed a whole bunch of chickens.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: But in any event, they had to be separated again
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: by officials and the MFTs. They just vanished too, because
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: when they kind of fought back over to the area
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: where they were all standing, they were just gone. The
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: MFTs were just gone. Then we had Carmelo Hayes one
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: on one with Ilia Dragonov for the United States Championship.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: We didn't even have to wait until wrestle Mania for it.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: There was a spot here where Dragonov went for a
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: coast to coast and he comes flying in and Hayes
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: catches him with the first forty eight and he kind
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: of bounces up and he's all groggy, but then he
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: quickly collects himself and he falls on top of him
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: and smashes him with an h bomb and he's got
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: him covered and Carmelo Hayes gets his foot on the
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: bottom rope at the last possible second and saves his championship,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: and then they went to commercial. So these two were
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: cooking here at this point in the match. The fans
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: were chatting, this is awesome. The people were into it.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Hayes attempted a DDT on the apron, Dragonov lifted him
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: into a death valley driver instead. Dragonov attempted a superplex later,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: but Hayes turned it into a basically like a spinning
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: cutter on the way down. For the closest of near falls,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: Dragonov had Hayes in his sights for Torpedo Moscow, but
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: the champion caught him coming in with the first forty
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: eight only got a near fall out of it. So
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Hayes misses a dive from the top rope, Dragonoff blasts
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: him with Torpedo Moscow. Dragonoff hoists him up for a
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: power bomb, and Hayes turns that into a sunset flip
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: bomb and pins him to retain the title. This was
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: the usual excellent outing here from these two besting on
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: the entire show. Certainly in terms of the inn ring.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: It is impossible for these two men to go out
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: there and have anything other than a bad match, and
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: they've had enough matches by now where you know, they
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: got their rhythm down. These guys know how to work
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: one another, and so this was just excellent stuff and
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: another great outing for Carmelo Hayes, who I think has
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: had a really great run for himself as the champion,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: where at least he's wrestling almost weekly, if not weekly,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: putting his title on the line, and he's going out
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: there and having banger matches, and look what's happened. He
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: has slowly but surely over time gotten himself over based
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: on his work. So I think, you know, whatever their
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: intent was when they put the championship on him, I
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: would call it a pretty big success so far in
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: terms of the run that he's had. But I was
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: affecting this to possibly take place in WrestleMania. Everything seemed
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: to be geared towards that. It's like Okay, if Mello
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: is going to put his belt on the line on
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: that show, who is it against Dragonoff? Because they've been
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: delaying it, Like every time he thinks Dragonoff is going
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: to come out to accept the open challenge, he goes
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: in the back. He's like, what are you doing? You're
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: not dressed? And Dragonoff had every excuse under the sun.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: I don't deserve it. I'm not ready for it. I'm
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: in my own head blah blah blah. So I'm like, okay,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: they're going to try to extend this out to Mania.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: This I don't know. This felt to me like for
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: now they're going to get away from this. He beat
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: him fair and square. I mean, there was no ambiguity
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: about it. You know, he pinned him one, two, three,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: fair and square in the middle of the ring. I
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. It just felt to me like now they're
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: going to move on to something else. But if that's
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: the case, then you know, what is what does Melo
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: do at WrestleMania, you know, if not Trick Williams, because
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Trick is probably going to be working Sammy, then a
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: what does Melo do with media? And then you have
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: dragon Off? Now, if dragon is not wrestling for the
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: US title. Then he's not on the WrestleMania card. He'll
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: be in the Andre Battle Royal the night before. Unless
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: the idea that I floated. I floated this on social
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: media the other day. It got a pretty good reception,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: and having seen what they did tonight, if they truly
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: have gotten this match out of the way and they're
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: done with this, you know what, maybe I'm onto something
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: and maybe it opens the door for a match at
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania between Gunther and Ilia Dragonov. And in terms of
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: how you explain it, it's very simple. He's been having
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: this almost like an identity crisis right again, where he's
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: just lost confidence in himself. Dragonov went out there, had
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: a great match, and he lost again. So what does
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: he have to do? Let him show up on Raw
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: with permission from Nick All this because he came to
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: the realization that the man that he needs to step
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: into the ring with is the man that has tested
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: him in between those ropes more than any other man
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: that he has ever set foot in a wrestling ring with.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: And you have a few weeks to educate or re
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: educate people about the history between these two men from
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: their battles in NXT and NXT UK because there are
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: people who probably have no concept of the history between them,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: but there is history between them. And it sure doesn't
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: look like Gunther has anything lined up. We don't know
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: if Raymysterio is going to be his opponent. If he is,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: raym Asterio's got a couple of broken ribs, one on
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: the left side, one on the right side. We don't
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: know if he's going to be healed up in time
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: for WrestleMania. Do you really want to take the chance
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: with someone like Gunther that you get to the finish
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: line and his opponent is not medically cleared and you
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: leave this man off the show, the man who handed
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: John Cena a loss in the last match of his career,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: the man who ended the career of AJ Styles at
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: this moment, has no clear direction for your biggest show
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: of the year. That is absurd. So the idea, well
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Dragon off and Gunther, you know that doesn't really make
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: any sense, or it's beneath Gunther he should be doing more. Yeah,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: well guess what, motherfucker right now, he's not doing shit.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: So I would say doing something is better than nothing.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: And if you're just gonna have him do something on
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: the show. I would love for him to be able
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: to go out there and have a great fucking match,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: if nothing else. I'm just saying it's not a bad idea,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: especially because Dragon of Now may not have a direction either,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: So why not. This week's episode is sponsored by Wicks.

• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: and Truth are talking to Jelly Roll. Jelly congratulates them
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: on their win se he walks off and he comes
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: upon Randy Orton, his old friend who shoved him down
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: on his ass last week. Goes over to Randy and
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: Randy apologizes for what happened, and Jelly says, I'm just
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: worried about you. He knows what it's like to be
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: the worst version of himself. He's not going to judge Randy,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: but he does wonder if Randy still knows what it
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: means or what he means to this entire place, all
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: the people who work here. He asks why he's trying
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: to become a version of himself that he already overcame.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: And Jelly says he knows the husband and the fun
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Randy Yorton. It's got a beautiful soul. He doesn't know
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: the guy who did what he did last week. He
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: still loves Randy. Randy says he knows he was out
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: of line earlier with Matt Cardona, and he doesn't know
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: what to do. What should I do? And Jelly tells
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: him go find Cardona and do the right thing. Do
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: the right thing, he says. Randy agrees to this and
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: thanks him. And undoubtedly this means bad things are about
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: to happen to Matt Cardona. But I will say, you know,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: not for nothing, Jelly roll. I thought cut a hell
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: of a promo there. I thought it was a great
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: little motivational speech that was a lot of dialogue for
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: him to remember. I mean, he was going on and
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: on and on with his promo, and there were a
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: couple moments there where it looked like Randy was about
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: to cut in and Jelly just kept going. He was
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: into it. So, hey, he's a better promo than most.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: It's a better promo than Jade, and she's a champion
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: on this show. Wilson was out to the ring next
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: to call out the aforementioned Jelly Roll. I told you
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: he had multiple segments. If I had to count all
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: of the segments that Jelly Roll had, every backstage segment
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: and the stuff in the ring with Kit Wilson. He
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: opened the show, he had the segment with Randy, he
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: had this segment here, and then he had a segment
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: later in the back with Nichol. So at least four
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: at least four segments on this show. Kit Wilson gets
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: into the ring and he said that Jelly Roll crossed
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: the line last week by starting the fight. He's here
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: to finish it. So where he comes from, they settle
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: it like men. So he proceeded to call Jelly out,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: and Jelly Roll comes out and he is power walking
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: his way to the ris the fastest I've ever seen
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Jelly Roll move in my entire life. And he power
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: walks down to the ring and he gets in and
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: Kit Wilson of course, rolls outside as Jelly roll gets in.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Jelly says that Wilson called him out for a fight,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: and he was ready for so he called for a
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: referee and he got the crab pumped up and everything.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: All these fans in you know Raleigh, they want to
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: see a fight. So he calls for a referee. Wilson
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: said that I don't fight with my fists. I fight
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: with my words. I don't fight with my fists. You're
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: in the wrong business, buddy. But he's got his poetry
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: book with him. Says there's not gonna be a rap
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: battle though. Instead, first time we're gonna do some slam poetry.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: So he says, Jelly has no class. I'm not gonna
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fucking wrap it for you, but I'm
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to read this for you. Said,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Jelly has no class, just ugly face, tats and a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: criminal passed. Well done on losing the weight and looking thin.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Now you look like a melted blob of skin. You're fat,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: phobic and toxic, maybe even a jerk. But your proof
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: that ozempic really does work. He ended it with a
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: dick joke talking about Jelly's little Willie and how he
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: can see it now because he's no longer fat, you see,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: so he could see his dick. So then it was
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: jelly Roll's turn. See I told you, man, hey, I
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: got some bars. I should have grabbed my hat. Jelly
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Roll had a hat. I shouldn't tear my hat if
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: you put my backwards hat on. Fuck? You know, I
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: forgot something. Did they think they were gonna be clever
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: with the slam poetry on a wrestling show, actually on
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: the actual show. God, this is going back many years.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: The best, the best one I ever saw Halle Berry.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many years ago this was. She
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: fucking killed it on that. She was great. I mean,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: she's great anyway. But anyway, so now it was Jelly's turn.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: So jelly Roll said, Wilson tried to destroy him, but
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have to see his dick because Wilson's mother
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: sees it for him. I mean, that's that's a bad
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: enough visual. But it's like, okay, all right, we went
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: the mom route here. It's actually worse than what Cmpunk
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: said to Roman when he mentioned burying him next to
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: his dead father. So now we have jelly Roll talking
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: about porking Kit Wilson's mom. So, but then it got worse.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if it would get worse, and it did.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: It did. He said, said, you talk about ozempic that's original,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: saying he's fat. But speaking of Kit's mom, he put
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: that belly fat on her back and he kind of
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: pantomimed it. He was doing the motion, lot of motion
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: in the ocean there, and I I just felt like
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: I wanted to puke up my dinner as I try
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: to get this visual out of my I mean, he
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: was trying to reenact it, and I'm trying to get
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: this visual out of my head. Yeah, I had some
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: Chinese food for dinner and I wasn't interested in fucking
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: low maine and fried rice being puked up all over
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: the place here. It was a close call, let me
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: tell you. So then Kit Wilson attacked Jelly Roll, as
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: he should have, because this man is out there saying
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: these just horrendous, horrendous things about the men's mother, which
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: is completely uncalled for. So he attacks Jelly Roll and
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: turns babyface in the process, and he hits him with
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: a running upper cut in the corner. Jelly Roll goes
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: down Kit Wilson goes up and he lands on top
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: of Jelly Roll with the diving elbow drop, and they
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: played his music and they let Kit Wilson stand tall
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: at the end of a segment here over, Jelly rolls
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: so great for Kit. For the rest of us, I'm
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: not so sure. Again. I just think Jelly Roll he's
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: a fan. He's not a bad bromo at all. We've
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: had celebrities that I have no interest in seeing them
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: ever again on my screen on a wrestling show. Okay,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: I don't feel that way about Jelly Roll. I'm cool
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: with Jelly Roll, but I just can't help but think
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: of some of the names that are still unaccounted for
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: on this WrestleMania card. But we have all of this
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: effort and time being dedicated week in and week out
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: to segments with Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson and the
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: Miss weekend and weekend, and clearly this is building to
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: a tag team match of some kind figure Jelly Roll
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: and Dan Housen maybe against the Miz and Kit Wilson.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: There was a report, a rumor about internal discussions it
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: might have been wrestle votes happening as to the possibility
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: of Royce Keys being introduced to the main roster this way,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: you know, and Jelly role having these sympathetic backgrounds in
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: their lives, their upbringing and everything and where they were
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: and what they'd become, and so that would kind of
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: unite them. It would be something that they share in common,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: like a common bond, and then they would wrestle. I
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: guess Kit Wilson in the maze and I don't know
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: if that's something It may have just been discussed, but
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: not something that they ended up deciding, Okay, we're going
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: to do this, And I'm not even sure that would
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: be a terrible way to introduce Roy's Keys, you know,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: in a prominent role like that. Doing a tag team
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: match with a celebrity. Great, but we're clearly heading in
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: that direction. But we need to get all of our
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: ducks in a row as far as some of the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: other names that are mia so far on this wrestle
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: media card, because there's more effort being put into this,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: it seems, and some of the other shit, and there
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: should be more focus on that stuff as well. And
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: it's kind of silly that I'm sitting here talking about
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: a poetry battle on this three hour program. With Jelly
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Roll and Kit Wilson, where I have to listen to,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: you know, Jelly role making my and there's Dick jokes
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are we doing here? Backstage, Julia
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: and Keana James were arguing over Tiffany Stratton. What happened
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: last week? Alba Fire wheeled Chelsea Green into the picture.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: Chelsea asked if there was trouble in Paradise and she
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: proposed working together to go after Tiffany, but the two
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: of them just blew her off. They have since announced
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: that on SmackDown next week it is going to be
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: Julia defending her United States Championship against Tiffany Stratton. So
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: again we're not waiting until WrestleMania. We're going to do
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: the match next week. I hear this and I think
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: to myself, okay, kind of like I did with the
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: announcement of MacIntyre against Fatu, not going to get a
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: clear winner. Maybe they will insert somebody else into the equation.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: Chelsea is still being wheeled around in a wheelchair. As
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: far as we know, she still has a broken bone
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: in her ankle. Maybe she's healed and they just haven't
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: told us yet. And Chelsea is going to get involved,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: and it's going to end up being a triple threat
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: at WrestleMania. There's another possibility, which is that Julia loses
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: the US title to Tiffany Stratton next week, and then
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: either next week or sometime shortly thereafter, Chelsea Green does
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: get medically cleared and we get Tiffany and Chelsea and
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: Julia is fuck out of luck. Now. I hope that's
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: not the case, but those are the two possibilities as
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: I see it right now. My guess Chelsea Green is
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: about to be cleared if she isn't already, they just
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: haven't told us yet, and we end up with a
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: triple threat match of WrestleMania. Because Tiffany has been interacting
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: a lot with Chelsea and Alba for weeks now, it's
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: not just with Julia, and there has to be a
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: reason for that, so it may just come down to
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: whether or not she can be cleared now. Jordan Grace,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: there was one report, and this might have been the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Self Made Crew a couple of weeks ago, mentioned that
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: the original idea was a triple threat with Tiffany, Julia
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: and Jordan Grace. Jordan Grace injured her ankle a few
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I've seen no updates since then, but
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: I saw what happened to her ankle. It was disgusting.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: She ain't gonna be back for a while. She certainly
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: I would be shocked if she was back in time
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: for WrestleMania. So I think she's off the board. Maybe
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Chelsea takes her place. Yeah, she's got to get healthy,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: but maybe Chelsea takes her spot and we get a
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: triple threat. I hope Juliet is able to make it
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: hunt to that card. Imagine being this they could have
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: pulled a Drew MacIntyre on her this close to WrestleMania,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: take the title off of her, and then she does nothing.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I suppose then they could just take her
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: in Keana, plug them into that multi woman tag team match.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: Not the greatest spot to be in, but I guess
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: that would give them one more team. Speaking of teams,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: and speaking of the women's tag team titles, they were
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: on the line tonight the Bella Twins Nicki and Brie
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Mode taking on Ayah Jackson Lash Legend for the women's
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: tag team titles. This was the first time the Bella
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Twins have teamed up together since two thy eighteen. Do
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: you know what else happened in twenty eighteen. There were
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: a few things that happened in twenty eighteen, but the
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: one that stands out to me, I'm pretty sure it
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: was the end of the year is when we got
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: that infamous segment on Monday Night Raw. Actually we might
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: have gotten the now that I think about it, I
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: wonder if we got the Bobby Lashley Sisters segment that year.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the year, we had all
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: the McMahons, including Paul Paul McMahon in the ring together
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: talking about how shitty Monday Night Raw was and how
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do better, We're gonna make changes. We listen
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: to the fans and they blamed the terrible quality of
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: the show on Baron Corbin. Remember that they blamed Constable
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: Corbin for how how terrible the show was. That's always
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: very rich to me. We'll pretend like the character Baron
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: Corbett is the one who's responsible for how fucking terrible
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: this show is. Give me a break. So that was
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: the last time the Bella Twins were together in a
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: tag team match. So the Bellas were getting the better
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: of Nia Jacks here when they were distracted by Charlotte
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: Flair and Alexa Bliss making their way down to the
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: ring entrance music and all right in the middle of
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: this match. You know what I think they should do.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: They should they should drive the Good Humor truck and
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: play the jingle. Since they love ice cream so much,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: let them just go all the way with it. One
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: of these weeks they should go do do do Do
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: Do Do Do do do do do do like which drives
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: me nuts, by the way in the summer when I
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: hear it, And just have them drive a Good Humor
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: truck down to the ring. That's what I think they
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: should do. So the ice cream girls come out and
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: they take a seat at rings sing Jesus fucking Christ.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Uh hey, Leo, thank you. I was not expecting that
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: ice cream and wooings. Maybe you could put some ice
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: cream on the wooings. That's like putting pineapple on pizza.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: That just doesn't work. Anyway, they take a seat at ring.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: That really that scared the crap out of me. So
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: they take a seat of ringside. Now late in the match,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: Brie and Nya, they fought their way to They fought
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: their way to ringside. NICKI put the Fearless lock On
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: in the ring on Lash Legend, which is just John
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: Cenas f STF NYA grab one of the tag team
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: title belts and she was about to hit Brie with
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: it when Charlotte cut her off. She stepped in the
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: way and she prevented her from using the tie is
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: a weapon and she punched her, which caused a disqualification,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: presumably to the Bellas. So the Bellows have now been disqualified.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: They will not be the tag team champions. And so
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: the Bellotwins are not very happy about this, and they
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: get up in Charlotte and Alexi's face outside and they
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: start pushing over and I think Nikki through a punch,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: and so now they're scuffling outside the ring and they
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: all end up inside Naya and Lash. They basically lay
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: waste to all of these women and they stand tall
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of all this. Now, next week they
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: announced they are gonna do Alexa and Charlotte around and
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: around and around and around we go. They're gonna be
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: taking on the Bellatwins next week in another match that
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: will have a fuck finish, because we all know where
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: this is leading to. So that's gonna be in Pittsburgh
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: next week because we're gonna get multi team Mayhem at WrestleMania.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: It is gonna be five or six teams in that match.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: They're just gonna be like a dumping ground. They're gonna
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: put them all in one match. I mean, whatever, this sucked.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: This was fucking terrible. The match was bad, The segment
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: was horrible. No chemistry whatsoever with these two teams. And
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: you know Nicki and Brie. I know it was their
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: first match together since twenty eighteen, but I mean, let's
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: not pretend that those matches were any great shakes either,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: even eight years ago. But ye, this was just nothing,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: and the finish was kind of the cherry on the
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: shit Sunday here. I just didn't think much of this segment. Yeah,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: I've seen Nyan Lash have some decent matches before. This
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: was not one of them. I don't know what else
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: there is to say about it, but bre Mode. We
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: go backstage. Randy Orton was on his phone here we
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: got I mentioned earlier, there was no mention of the
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: phone call from Raw Monday night. Randy Orton is on
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: the phone and he's talking to this mystery person, we
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: presume the same person from Monday. He said, no, no, no,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: I'm happy I picked up and he told the caller,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to the ring right now to fix it off,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: he went. So that was the extent to which we
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: had any follow up on the phone call stuff tonight.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: They want to know again. They love their mystery angles.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: Triple H loves his mystery angles. And not everybody has
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: to be dressed up like a ninja or a putty person, right,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: although we've had plenty of mass men, but we've had
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: the mass men. We had even Jade Cargill, right, who
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: killed Jade when she got knocked off the thing and
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: who kicked Jacob fought in the mouth. We still never
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: got a real resolution to that story. But yeah, the
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: whole like who done it? Mystery angle? Now we have
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: another one here who is on the phone. I still
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: say Kevin Owens. Everybody has their thoughts and their ideas
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: about who it was. I've had so many different names
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: right there. Oh, the rock Rick Flair, which would be
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: fucking horrendous. You imagine, God, Oh my god, I know
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: this history there from evolution, but guys, please, for the
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: love of God, Kevin Owens, someone said, Shane McMahon. Yeah,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: just what we need. Randy Orton, though, was on his
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: way out to the ring to close this three hour
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: program and he's slapping hands with various young fans as
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: he makes is. There was one little boy on the
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: along the aisle, and I don't want to say that
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: Randy was like yelling at him or anything like that,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he wasn't being overly chummy with him, and
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: he went to go continue and I feel like he
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: felt bad because he went back to the kid and
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: he was he was a little nicer to him. But
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: you know, he's slapping hands, taking his time coming down
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: to the ring, being you know, kind of jovial Randy Orton.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: So he hasn't gone all the way heel, just he
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: hasn't fully snapped just yet. He called Matt Cardona out
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: to the for an apology. Cardona comes down, He's always ready.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: Orton said, Look, I've been out of my head for
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks. I'm legitimately sorry about what happened.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: He thinks, look, I think action figures are cool. He goes,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: look at me, I love video games. Okay. He apologizes
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: for how he treated him, and he goes, look, you
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: and I have known each other for twenty years. We
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: go way back, and he's got an apology that he
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: needs to make to Cody next week, and there's a
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: lot going on. He goes, Matt, will you forgive me?
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Orton then drops the mic. The two of them shake
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: hands and they embrace, and I'm thinking, well, you know,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: Matt Cardona has been around for a while. Matt Cardon
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: is a veteran man. He's been in the business for
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: at least two decades. He's been a wrestling fan longer
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: than that. Matt cardonah more than any other person that
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: building knows exactly what is about to happen to him,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: but he's got to pretend like he's, Hey, I think
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: this is great, Randy, I forgive you right, he's shaking hands,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: they're a hugging, They're like buzzom buddies here. And then
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: Randy goes in. He puts his hand out for another handshake,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: and at that point he kicks Cardona in the dick
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: and then he drops him with an RKO. Now he
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: rips Cardona's shirt off, sends him out to the floor,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: just like he did with Cody. He places him on
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: top of the announced desk. He starts hammering away. He
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: grabs the ring steps, he brings them over, he leans
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: them up against the announced desk. Now, officials in security
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: and Nick all this. They all spill out to ringside,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: trying to calm him down, and the fans are watching
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: on just in horror, and they're like, oh my god,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: this is terrible. Don't do this now. I'm just I'm
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: bullshitting you. They were chanting for Randy Orton. They were
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: chanting Randy, Randy. They were loving it. They were loving it.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: Orton backs off. He puts his head in his hands
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: and he's like he couldn't believe what he was doing.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: He lost control again. He goes back over though to
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: grab Cardona. The voices have taken over again, throws him
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: back in the ring and he starts pummeling him. And
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: this was the best part. So he places Cardona's left
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: arm in a chair like he's going to pelmanize it. Right,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: So he's got his arm in a chair laying there,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: and the officials with Nick all this, they pour into
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: the ring and they are physically holding Randy Orton back
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: and they get him up against the ropes and I'm
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: watching this and I'm like, okay, you're Matt Cardona. You're
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: laying there and he's looking up at everything that's going on.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: He's dude, he's laying there, his arm is in the chair.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: He could easily just pull the fucking chair off your arm.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: He laid there with the chair in his arm, on
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: his arm. Whatever. Thirty fucking seconds, What do you think
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: happened next? Randy Orton breaks free. Randy Orton stomps on
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: the chair and breaks this fucker's arm. And you know what,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: good he got exactly what he deserves. Now he can
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: play with his action figures with his right arm. He
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: could play, He could do everything with his right hand.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: He ain't gonna be using his left one for a while.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: Thirty seconds, he laid there like he should have at
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: least taken it off, and then Randy breaks free, comes over,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: puts his arm back in it, and stops. It's just
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: little things like that. I know it's not a big
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: deal in the big picture, but my god, it just
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: makes these people look like fucking idiots. Thirty seconds, twenty
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: five set, whatever it was. He was laying there like that,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: like oh no, oh no, so stupid. What are you
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: laying there for? At least make an attempt to remove
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: the fucking chair from you, or I'll take Orton two
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: seconds to put the chair back on his arm. So
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: now he's got a broken arm and he deserves it.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: And again the fans were so mortified by this. They
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: felt so bad for Matt Cardona. They were horrified that
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: they all chanted one more time. They wanted him to
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: break the other arm. So they backed Orton into the
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: aisle and Orton has his hands up because don't touch me,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: don't touch me, and they're not touching him, but they're
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: backing him down the aisle, and nick All, this is
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: looking at him. This is not you. It's not you. Right,
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, in the background on the screens
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: and on the tron, they cut to something that's happening
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: in the back. There's a commotion, there's more chaos in
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: the back. And at that point, nick All, this and
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: all the officials that were holding Randy Orton back they
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: flee and they go they just go running to the back, which,
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: by the way, now that I think about it, what
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: was stopping Randy Orton from running back to the ring
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: and breaking his other arm. All these great security people
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: they just ran off to go ten to the next incident,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: and the cameras, you know, follow to the back and
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: we go outside. Right, so they're outside the building. Now
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: we see Drew MacIntyre and we see Jacob Fatu and
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: they are brawling. They are still brawling. We are three
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: hours into this show. They're outside and I don't know
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: what this thing is. It's some sort of structure in
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: the parking lot I said earlier, as like an oil rig.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. But they're on the
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: there's like a platform, like an outer platform or a balcony,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: and they're fighting up on this thing, and then of
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: course they climb over the railing and now they're hanging
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: off the edge and they're punching each other. They're headbutting
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: each other all this, and all of the security and
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: all of the officials are just watching this helplessly because
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: in between them and this area where this structure is
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: is this white fence. So they're watching it. Oh my god, don't, don't, don't.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: And then finally they both go tumbling off the edge
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: of the platform and they plummet to their death. We
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: didn't hear the splat. It would have been nice if
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: they would have inserted that little sound effect. But then
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: Nick all, this is freaking out. He's calling a medical
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: you know, my god. Of course, conveniently, the fence was there,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: so we couldn't see the actual moment of impact, but
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: you can use your imagination. So these two men apparently
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: killed each other. I guess that means no WrestleMania match
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: for either one of them. But now I'm watching this
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, I was wondering if they
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: were going to do a street fight, they could do
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: a false count anywhere. Falsecout Anywhere could be final, although
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: they never really fully take advantage of the st They'll
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: brawl into the crowd, they'll go on stage, you know,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: gives a fuck like you canna have a falsecant anywhere match.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: You gotta go onto the concourse, you gotta go into
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: the boiler room. You gotta go outside the fucking building
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna have fun with it. I love the
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: false count anywhere stipulation, but I hate it when they
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: use it most of the time because they don't take
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: full advantage of it. That's not what this felt like.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: This felt like we may end up getting that Hell
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: and a Cell match that was rumored for Cody and
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: Drew with the idea that these men, because they're always
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: fighting everywhere, the only way to contain them is inside
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: the cell. Because really at WrestleMania, I don't know that
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: they want to be having these guys fighting out of
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: the building and into the backstage. I think they want
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: to keep it contained to the ring. And how do
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: you do that. You put them in a cage. Now,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: you can have a traditional cage match, but I think
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: they may be setting up for a hell and a
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: Cell match as the kind of the ultimate payoff here,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: and the only way to really contain these men is
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: inside the dreaded cell and you know, blow off the
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: feud there. That's what it kind of felt like to
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: me when this show was over. They didn't get the
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: cell with Cody and Roman, that was another rumor. They
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: didn't do it with Cody and Drew, thank god, but
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: we may get it with these two. That's what it
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: felt like to me. So it was a pretty wild,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: you know ending to the show. Yeah, Texas Death, No,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: let's do Texas Death in Las Vegas. Let's do Texas
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: Death in Las Vegas with a with a Scotsman and
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: a Samoan. Sure, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: We got a wild ending to the show because he
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: had Orton snapping on Cardona and breaking his arm and
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: the fans cheering for more, and then segueing right into
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: another just out of control brawl, you know, between MC
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: and Tyre and Drew, which is how we started the show.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: So really it was chaos from start to finish, at
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: least with those two. And that's not really a bad
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: thing as far as all the Orton segments. Then, I
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: like what they did with Orton. You know, again, it's
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: not just a clear cut like I'm the bad guy now,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: you know. They're playing it in a way where he's
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: sort of teetering on that edge. He hasn't totally fallen
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: off the cliff yet, and now they're promoting that next
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: week he's got to apologize to Cody. I guess, Cody,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: you'll be back on the show in Pittsburgh next week.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: So I like how they played it with Orton tonight,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: and I like how they had him in multiple segments
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: where they were able to kind of hook you in,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: like you better stay tuned because Randy's gonna come back
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: out later and he's gonna, you know, apologize to Cardona.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens there. And you kind of knew
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: where that was going. So I like that. I like
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: what they did there. The US title match was excellent.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: The tag team match earlier in the show was pretty
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: good also. The rest of the show was just I
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: didn't really have any any use for it, honestly, but
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: I but look, the thing about this show was there
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: were things that were going on, you know, besides the
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: great US title match, Like I said, the Orton stuff,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: the McIntyre drew stuff, even the Jade thing. You know,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: we're beat beat. I was gonna say, I almost said,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: I almost said Beachin. I kind of fused them together, Yes,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: Beachin and me fab but you know again them linking
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: up with Jade, a little little twist, a little swerve there.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Even this smaller stuff like with the machine guns and Candice. Yeah,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: there were there were some story things that they moved
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: along here on this show. Tomatonga, you know, going to
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: Solo Socoa and saying, look, give the lantern back. I said,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is probably designed in part to split
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: Tomatonga away from the MFTs and for all of the
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: Wyatt six and MFT stuff. I'm sorry, it's still not
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: worth it for us to sit through months of this
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: just to get to a tomatonga. You know, babyface turn
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: but you kind of saw tonight. I think it gave
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: you a sense of where they're going with that, So
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: they did. They move things along here on The show
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: was definitely better than last week. Not a great show
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: by any means, but definitely an improvement over what we
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: got on last week's show, that's for sure. We talked
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: about the show missing Bianca, we are also missing Naomi.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: We are, but I mean that situation is really out
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: of everybody's control, so there's a reason why we don't
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: have Naomi around. Bianca should have been back by now,
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure she's more frustrated than anybody. That's what
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: makes her situation so sad. What did you think of
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: SmackDown from Raleigh? Almost sixty five percent thumbs up, thirty
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: five percent thumbs down with nearly a thousand votes and
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: so far, so you you like that I have a beachin,
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: She's beachin beachin and me fab there you go. Somebody
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: mocked that up. Oh man, Thank you guys for the laughs,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: it's going to see your super chats here, and I
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: presume that we are going to be doing Be the
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: Booker seven hundred and twenty eight likes. Yeah, I'd say
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: we're going to be doing some Be the Booker. I
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: think that's a safe bet. You got to get through
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: these first though. Hey, Joseph Stewart, thank you very much,
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: he says, rest in peace. Chuck Norris, Yes, it's going
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: to talk about him briefly on the show on Sunday.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: Chuck Norris eighty six years old, He says. So were
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: you a fan of Walker Texas Ranger? Only in clips?
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: Only in the clips I saw on Conan O'Brien show.

  Speaker 1: Otherwise no super Mario Brothers shout out to you. Six
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: three eight zero, Thank you brother. Do you remember when Sting, Hogan,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Savage and Piper appeared on episodes of Walker Texas Ranger.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: I don't because I didn't watch. I did, however, see
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: Sean Michaels on a show called Pacific Blue back in
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: the day. Do you remember Chuck Norris appearing on WCW
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: Monday nightro No, I don't remember that ever happening. Actually,
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: I remember Chucky the Doll interacting with Rick Steiner. Do
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: you have a favorite Chuck Norris movie Delta Force? Happy
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: birthday to the legend and icon Sting. Isn't this his
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: sixty fifth birthday this year? I thought he turned sixty
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: five this year. Happy birthday, Sting. Who were Sting's top
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: five greatest rivals? Rick Flair, Vader, Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: Look at that. I just fired four of them off
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: without even thinking about it. Who's the fifth, though? Sting, Vader,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: Rude Hogan, Who's number five? That's a good question. Who's
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: number five? I don't know as your favorite Sting moment
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: of all time? Do I have a favorite Sting moment
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: of all time? Yeah? You know what I do? Actually,
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: of all those moments, and he had a ton of
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: moments with the nWo. There was one episode of Nitro
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: in particular where he came out. Actually there was a
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: bunch of Stings in Sting masks, but he ended up
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: being one of them. Just casually walked into the ring.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: Buff Bagwell was doing his buff pose and Sting just
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: grabbed him and gave him the scorpion death drop. That
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: would be one of them. There was another one where
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: Sting came out to the ring and he just holds
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: the bat out and he drops it outside the ring,
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: and then the nWo like Savage I think, is the
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: first one to come at him, and he without I
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: don't need the bat and he just starts beating him up,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: and the entire crowd just exploded. Those are the Those
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: are like the golden moments right there, that stand out
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: where he just had that crowd in the palm of
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: his hand. Man, it was just it was It was
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: certainly a time to be alive as a wrestling fan.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: If you lift through it, you know what I'm talking about.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy I was a younger fan watching during
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: that era. Man, it doesn't get any better than that.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: Did you know? Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn attended the
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: Academy Awards this past weekend. I did not, but I'm
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: glad to hear that Kurt's doing well. I like Kurt
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: Russell anyway. Joseph, thank you for all the support. As always,
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. We got the bottom right pick and
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: the thumbnail killed me. You like our friend Karen, She's
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: hanging out with us tonight. Hey, Andre Jefferson, thank you,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: Tiny Tim with A four ninety nine. What do you
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: think about Hayman calling on Gunther to kill the career
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: of Seth Rollins if bron Breaker is not available, Gunther
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: and Rollins. I like Gunther and Dragon now better. Yeah,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: I mean you could do it. I mean Gunther he
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: needs to be he needs to be in a match
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: on the cards. You can't just leave him off the card.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just ridiculous if that's their only idea
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: and they're not open to the other idea that I pitched,
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: And sure you could do it, but I'm more enthusiastic
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: about the other match than I am that one Big
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: Money Jackson is that the boss? Is that Bossmo Jackson.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: It's official Drew versus Jacob at WrestleMania. I'm still laughing
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: at truth a haircut with no hair and Priest just
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: laughs at him. I'm telling you, this is probably gonna
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: end up being a positive for for Drew, for Damien,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: just because he's better when he has somebody to kind
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: of associate with and play off of Gunther and Cardona.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: The One Armed Men. Yeah, no, the Meal Slayer. They're
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: teasing a Sammy heel turn. Just a few months before
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: Kevin Owens is due for another neck evaluation. Smells like
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: a joint return heel turn angled for TV in the
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: summer or fall. What say you? I just love how
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: Sammy and Kevin Owens they always have to be attached.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: They don't always need to be attached. I'd be down
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: for it, but it's just funny to me how everybody
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: always is coming up with ideas to have them either
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: against each other or together. Prince Bgeta. There's a rumor
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: that in a single day, Chuck Norris survived a plane crash,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: a bear attack, and getting hit with a nuclear warhead.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: It walked away without a scratch. What a legend, you know.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: It's been said that Chuck Narris's tears cure cancer. It's
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: too bad the man never cried. Dry chicken, says logan.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: Paul really can't help himself. Tom Brady is having a
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: great time roasting WWE. It's a work, bro, They're working you, Bro.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: Cornell Bryant, apologize the dbass Junior. My boy is free,
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: Legacy will reunited Mania. The story has written itself. I
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: don't know how he pulled it off, but hey, good
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: for him. Acquitted on all charges today. Very interesting that
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: All the other people I think who were indicted have
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: pleaded guilty, but he got himself off. Venom Katatsu Randy
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: with the Mark ass Stooge and Black Mouthing Lemon pepper
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: Steppers were funny as hell. The Mark ass Stooge needs
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: to be a super chat. He should put that on
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: a T shirt, is what he should do. I kind
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: of like the T shirt that he was wearing tonight.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: It's the RKO Everybody shirt, but it had some red,
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: like some blood on it. I thought that was actually
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. The Sheltered Kid, what's going on? Sheltered Kid?
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: He says, are you a fan of the weekend? And
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: if so, what is your favorite song for the weekend?
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: I am a fan of the Weekend. I'm a fan.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the weekend and the Weekend the
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: music group for me, I think it might be timeless.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: It's either timeless or heartless. I like both those songs.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: Let me refresh this here we got a bunch more.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: Let's refresh the list and scroll back down. Make sure
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: I don't miss any of you guys. Here we go,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: Here we go, And the Sheltered Kid says, if you
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: like the Weekend, scold Lucky Dog eighty nine for being
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: a hater that does Lucky Dog not like the Weekend.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hate on Lucky I like Lucky Dog.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: The Weekend is a singer. Yes, well, you do realize
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: there are other people who are also playing various instruments
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: while he sings. You do realize this, right. We're kind
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: of picky knits and splitting hairs here. You get the point.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: Dev to Dust is Hogan versus Savage equivalent of Larry
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: Bird versus Magic Johnson In the eighties, Hogan Savage led
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: to big business like Bird and Magic did in the NBA. Sure,
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: who's the Bird and who's the Who's the Magic? I
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: kind of go Savage as magic. Hey, Oscar says Jeff
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: job instead of Jeff Cobb the Joker's voice. Oh boy,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: a new faction because Jade needs muscle. We already have
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: the MFTs, now we have the NFC's nobody fucking cares.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: You mean you don't care about Beach and then me,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: fab you don't care? I care so much. I got
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: their names mixed up, That's how much I care. Alexander
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: the beefab me a yim turn made no sense to me,
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: Jade beat their asses every time since her heel turned
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: just to join her in the end, did Jade blackmail them?
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: Like I said, if you can't beat them, join them.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: You know what the sad thing is, they probably won't
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: even bother with an explanation. They'll just show up next week,
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: They'll all be together and it'll probably never be mentioned again.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: But it would be nice to get some sort of
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: explanation on the show to see what they go with.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: We got more new Japan Cup is cooking. Have you
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: been watching? I have not. No, I have a wrestling
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: overload as it is. I have not been keeping up
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: with it. Unfortunately. Andre Israel security geeks are always bad,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: but tonight they were pretty ass. Got to be the
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: worst security I've seen in a long time. Between WWE
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: and AEW. It's pretty bad, dude. I mean it's it's embarrassing. Honestly,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: these guys have been fighting for three hours. I think
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: they need to start arming these security guards with tasers,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: is what I think they need to do. Clearly, these guys,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: these men are out of control and the only way
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: to stop them is to taser them, or they could
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: do with what Kurt Angle did to Big Show many
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: years ago. He could shoot him with one of those darts,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: Tranquilizer darts. I just loo can't believe they did that.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: The shoulder demon as working for security, I could tell
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: you that both AW and WW Security are an embarrassment
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: to my profession, totally useless. They should be fired. Ali, Hey,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: solo monster. Since Teddy Biassi Jr. Is found not guilty,
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: do we see him back on TV and see Legacy reunion? No?
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: Dbasi has been out of wrestling for a very long time,
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: and uh, I don't see the need for him to
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: be introduced into this. Sidrow friends sad because he didn't
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: know the lyrics to y MCA, I said, young man,
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: there's no need to feel down. And how did Samuel
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: Adams get down the mountain? Bruceki's boy, you thought that
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: one was probably like your best one, right. I could
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: see the big smile on your face as he's typing
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: it up. Oh man, he's gonna love this. He's gonna
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: love Bruskies. Thank you, Sidro. First time we've we've gotten
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: one from Sidro in a while. That big money Jackson,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: I like your Jacob Fatu impression needs needs work, not bad.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: What he does. It's like he's having an aneurysm or something.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: The shoulder Demon. I wanted to see Gunther versus Chuck Norris.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: The Shawnathan says, rest in peace, Chuck Narris. I'll always
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: remember having him be the enforcer for the Undertaker Yoko
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: Zuna casket match at Survivor Series in nineteen ninety three. Well,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Survivor series you were watching that year,
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: but it was actually nineteen ninety four. Sorry, that's the
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: that's the nerd in me coming out. Well, actually, actually,
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: there he is. Give me backshot solo Monster SmackDown Women,
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: speaking of DEBIASI there he is. That's how they see.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: That's how Ted Junior got off. Se Dibiassi showed up
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: with the money gun. There it is. There's your answer,
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: he says. SmackDown women only have three faces, and Tiffany
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: is an awful baby face. She is. The SmackDown Women's
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: division is still very much in shambles. I don't know
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: why they haven't taken better steps to correct this. I
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: just I don't understand it. Joseph Heath, it's time to
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: end the Johnny Gargano, it's time to I think you're
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: missing a word there. He says. It's time to end
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: the Johnny Gargano. I'm gonna end the guy. I'm just
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: he says. But if being depressed and cancel what it's
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: time to end the Johnny Gargano. But if being depressed
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: and cancel the Uncle Howdie Gimmick, turn Cody and Sammy heel,
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: h E A L and get it over with. So
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: you're gonna turn Cody and Sammy heel, then, I mean, boy,
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a real hole as far as top
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: babyfaces on this show. That's that's not a good IDEA
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: big money Jackson Tag Division needs refocus and restructure and story.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: I agree. Thoughts on Howie Rose retiring this year, you
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: have the Mets longtime radio announcer. He's going to be
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: calling his final season, and I think it's well deserved.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be missed. He's an institution here in New
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: York where Gary Cohen came from from radio to TV.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: More All in twenty twenty six sold twenty thousand tickets
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: after a four day presale, compared to All in twenty
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: twenty four with thirty three thousand tickets after a three
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: week presale. Nice to see the upward trend. They could
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: sell forty. I think they should be happy for that show.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: Fifty would be better, but at least forty because you're
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: not doing the numbers that you did for the first one.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: That's just not going to happen. Jeremy says Cody heal
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: and strap the gold rocket on Oba. Yes, Oba's gonna
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: end up on Raw? What do you do on SmackDown?
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: Andre says, please make Randy going off on Matt a
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: super Chat super Chat Jeremy with a five. Sammy needs
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: to find a partner and win those tag straps. Priest
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: in bald truth, Ain't it a partner? You say? Well,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: I mean there's a certain partner who may be back
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: later this year, but it's going to be a while
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: before he's back. Who would you team Sammy with? I mean,
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: who would even really make sense? Oh, we got Luis
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: with a twenty two dollars super chat. There is always
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: going to be another mountain. I'm always gonna want to
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: make it move, always going to be an uphill battle.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have to lose. Sorry if I'm using Miley
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: Cyrus song lyrics Love the Climb for Randy Orton, I
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 1: would like to know what possessed you to use Miley
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: Cyrus lyrics here, Cornell Bryant, Samuel will pull a Brett
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: Hart WrestleMania thirteen double turn, A double turn with who Trick?
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: That could work. Actually, you know what, I'm very hesitant
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: to make any significant alterations to tricks, gimmick and what
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: he's doing now because it's working, I think organically without
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: WWE meddling in it. But that's interesting. The idea of
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: a Sammy and Trick double turn at WrestleMania, I don't
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: hate it. David Rice with a nine ninety nine Sammy
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: and Trick is where the double turn? Well, there we go.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: Sammy and Trick is where the double turn is. They
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: have a match at Mania where Sammy blatantly cheats, Trick
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: cries foul and a baby face way at the next
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: TV fude continues at Backlash. I can fuck with that.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: Just don't change too much about Trick, kind of let
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: him be himself. But the idea that Sammy would do
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: something underhanded just to get a win, and the fans
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: like Trick, so I think that they would sympathize with
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: him because I think with trick like. He's been in
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: the ring with some big names, and I don't think
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: he's done much in the way of like blatant cheating.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: So it's one thing for him to be overly cocky
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: and arrogant. But if he's going out there and wrestling
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: and winning matches pretty fairly and then Sammy suddenly, you know,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: has to cheat to win, I think that could work.
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: We got Lavelle thoughts on Ted Dibiassi Junior being found
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: not guilty. Yeah, I'll be talking about that on the
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: sound off. Yeah, I mean apparently equitted on all all charges,
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: which I was not expecting. But he's off the hook.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: Can't retry him for that, so good for him. Big
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: Money Jackson aw has bad B level, C level characters.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: It's dry, stale, and it feels off. MJF is awesome,
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: but all else feels terrible. Not everyone fits WWE, and
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: it shows they do, so is WWE. We saw some
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 1: of them on TV tonight. Jeremy says buy or Sell
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: Wrestle many appearance for rock or Debias Junior, Cell Mactubb.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: What happened to Triple H after two thousand, two thousand
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: and one? From what I've read, he was t two.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but always generally boring
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 1: and forced. What happened to him after two thousand and
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one he tore his squad. I don't
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: think he was ever the same after that. Whose body
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: of work do you prefer, Triple H or Sina? Wait? Look,
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: they have an impressive body of work in terms of
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: some of the big matches they've had against different people.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: Triple H with Sean Michaels, Triple H with you know, mcfoley,
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: Rock Undertaker, Sena. Though, you know, his catalog of matches
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: is pretty impressive. I mean the matches that he's had
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: with punk and AJ styles and seth rollins, and I
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: mean I've talked about what I think are seen as
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 1: best matches. He's had a lot of great matches with
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of different people, and he was never the
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: best in ring wrestler, but you can't deny that he's
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: you know, when you look back at his body of work,
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: he went out there and had some great fucking matches,
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: you know, especially on like big pay per views and stuff.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: Kevin Owens, I think personally, I man, I think I
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: go Sina. I think I go Seena Leo says, I
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: like what I saw tonight with them teasing a breakup
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: between Keana and Julia. As soon as they break up,
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: I say, the better. I want to see Keana get
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: a singles push. Well. I think of the two of them,
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: the one who stands to benefit the most, honestly from
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 1: a breakup and probably get pushed more is Keana. So
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 1: if you're a Kiana fan, then that's probably what you
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: should be hoping for. Says I feel like Keana is
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 1: a future world champion. I hope WWE realizes what they
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 1: have in her. I thought she looked good in the
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: elimination chamber. It's still very early though. She hasn't really
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: been thrown into the fire yet, like in a major,
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: major match or with a major program, so time will tell.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: It's still too early to say. I can't sit here
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: and say she's a future world champion. I'm not. I
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not feeling it yet, but I think
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: she could get there. Ice cream for more. Did Randy
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: take Cody to his home in Falacio states I don't know.
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: You have to ask JD that it was flacial by
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: the way his Falacial estate. Oh, I wish I had
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: one of those back in the day. Man invite all
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: the ladies out to my falacial estate. I had to
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: call him out on that. I was like, excuse me,
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: what did you say? Chicago for MBK fighting the flu
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: but wanted to stay up to the end. Well, I'm
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: very sorry to hear that you're sick. The flu sucks.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: Get well soon, get rest, chicken soup, lots of liquids.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: Andre Jefferson Hayman pays a Gunther Gunther versus Rollin's at
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: WRESTLEMANI but Hayman Hayman might be willing to pay Gunther,
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't really fit Gunther's m Oh, I mean
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: Guntherer might be willing to do it for free. I
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: mean he's not a paid assassin. Brock is because for
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: Brock it's all about money. But you know, I don't know,
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really fit Gunther's m O. Donovan pain any
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the Triple A Mega title redesign? Did they
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: redesign the Mega title? Let me see here? Oh, I
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 1: mean it looks I don't know, it doesn't look radically different.
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 1: It looks nice. I think it looks nice. I like
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: it big hoss thoughts on Statlander in WWE. With the
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: recent rumors, I think NXT could finally find her character
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: slash promo and new fresh faces to work with. Yeah. Again,
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything solid about her contract being up
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: anytime soon or that she's going to be departing, so
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: that's all speculation right now. But I think that it
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: probably is something that she could benefit from. I think
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: she'd have new people to work with. I think that.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, God, you mentioned NXT, but that SmackDown Women's
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: division could really use somebody like her, you know, because
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: it takes time, you got to really build up somebody
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 1: knew who the audience wouldn't be familiar with, and boy
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: they could. They could, sure you someone like her right
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 1: now the hoofman Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: Narris could swim through land. Another favorite of mine is God,
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: how did it go? Oh? Man? I forgot? I forgot
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: if it was a specific person. But it's like people,
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: you know, pee in the snow, like in the winter,
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: but like to create, like if you are peeing in
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 1: the snow to create snow angels or whatever. Like I
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 1: forgot exactly how it goes. But the punchline is that
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: Chuck Narris pee's on concrete and does the same thing.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: Or Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups, he's pushing the
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 1: earth down. That's another one. Jeremy Rose says, what do
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: you think about Punk turning Heel, joining Hayman and becoming
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: the leader of the Vision despite seth rollins and keep
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: that feud going. I'm glad you put the laughing emoji
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: at the end, because I was about to scold you.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 1: You think Brock would have learned his lesson going back
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: to Hayman fucking twice after Hayman turned his back on him.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: How many times? I don't need Punk doing the same thing.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 1: Punk's already been betrayed twice by Hayman third times. On you, buddy,
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 1: Robert Peterson with a nine to ninety nine. Thank you, Robert. Unfortunately,
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 1: the consequences of not turning Cody Heel are showing the
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 1: crowd is one hundred percent behind Randy Orton hates Cody.
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to you since twenty eighteen. Love your work,
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you, brother. I don't think they're one hundred percent
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: against Cody would I wouldn't say that, but they're definitely,
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: you know, not gonna really be booing Randy Orton. I
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 1: do think if Cody shows up next week with a
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: fiery babyface promo, I mean, he could win people over.
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 1: But when you walk into WrestleMania, you're gonna you're gonna
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 1: hear the cheers for Randy and the booze for Cody.
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be there. I don't know that there's anything
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: they could do to change that, but at this stage,
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's really not a whole lot they can do.
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: You know, this is the match, and again, they don't
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: have anybody lined up to really step into Cody's spot,
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: and he's got to be that guy. You know, he's
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: got to be the hero who goes out there. And
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a John Cena thing where he's got to
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: just sort of accept that half the audience is gonna
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: hate him and half the audience is gonna want to
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: cheer for him. Seen his whole thing was well, as
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 1: long as they're making noise, that's all that matters. They
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: don't really have another card to play right now. Dry
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 1: Chicken says Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green need a vacation
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: trip to can Kun. Yeah. Him with his arm and
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: her with her ankle. The walking wounded retro Koah, you
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: want to hear real nitpicking? I got one. Why are
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: you using the Sonic two life icon as an emoji
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 1: but playing the Sonic one extra life jingle in be
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: the booker? Holy shit, that is that is a level
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 1: of just nerdom and geek them that I am just
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 1: in awe of you are like the uber geek with
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 1: that super chat. Bass Beers says Sidrow is a zebro.
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 1: Mystic Jay says, where the hell is Eo? It's a
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: good question. She's another one. Probably gonna have a singles
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 1: match with Raquel at WrestleMania. It's really the best we
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: can come up with for EO. Sky On that show,
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 1: Cameron Spencer, Gargano and Zane should team up since both
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 1: of them are depressed and after oh after Sammy goes hill,
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: they should team up. It could save Gargano's career. They
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 1: could be an interesting team. Yeah, but the Gargano stuff
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 1: is being played up as comedy. Sammy is not. It's
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: it's not the same. It would do more to bring
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: Sammy down. I think then elevate Gargano. Honestly, Yeah, the
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: whole the whole depression angle with Gargana was rooted in humor.
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 1: Johnny Gargano needs some special brownies, says dried Chicken. Jeremy Rose,
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: I'd bring back Cross to be Sammy's partner and complete
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: that story. That could make sense, But they're not bringing
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 1: back Cross, so that's not an option. Bes Bears. Remember
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 1: when Arnold smacked Triple H good times, Yeah, and then
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: he drank a cold one with Stone Cold to promote
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: his movie The End of Days. Remember that The End
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 1: of Days. The whole reason he was on SmackDown was
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: to promote the End of Day. I think Gabriel Byrne
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 1: was in that movie. I saw that movie many years ago.
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: Dry Chicken says a spoiler, Randy Orton's next move will
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: be kidnapping Pharaoh with two heel heat options shave the
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: dog's fur or feed. Oh that's terrible. Yeah, that's fuck.
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 1: That's a fucking dumb idea. Uh And Jared Moose Rodriguez
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: just something funny to share. I once told someone that
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 1: my oldest wrestling memory was legitimately Vince McMahon in a
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 1: do rag. Dude just laughed and said, Nah, you might
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 1: as well be a fetus. That makes me feel old.
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: That your oldest wrestling memory. Oh man, there she is again.
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 1: Here's Karen. Jared also says, based on what you have
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: seen of them, which woman in NXT do you feel
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 1: has a higher ceiling? Tatum Paxley or j C Jane? Honestly,
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: JC Jane, I've come around on JC Jane. I wouldn't
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: have said that before she won the championship, but I
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: think of the two of them, she's got the higher ceiling.
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 1: Retro koa Chuck Norris didn't die. He's just relieving the
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: Grim Reaper's shift. He didn't have a heart attack. His
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 1: heart had a Chuck Norris attack. And Corona boy putting
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: my cat of twelve years to sleep tomorrow and this
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: stream is what I needed tonight. Thank you Solo for
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 1: all that you do. Hashtag fuck cancer. I can definitely
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: back that up hashtag fuck cancer. Indeed, I'm very sorry
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: to hear that. That's that's a tough thing. I remember.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 1: I remember being confronted with that same decision, only in
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 1: my case it was eighteen years instead of twelve years,
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: and I just I couldn't I couldn't do I mean,
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: I was in the end I was going to have to,
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 1: but like I struggled with that decision and ended up
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: not having to make that decision myself. It happened naturally.
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 1: But it's tough, you know, it's a very tough situation
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 1: to be and I'm sorry to hear that, brother, But
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 1: if we can take your mind off it for a
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 1: few hours, then I'm glad we could at least do that.
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 1: That's the one thing about cats and dogs that just sucks.
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 1: They don't live long enough, right they just they did?
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 1: They don't anyway, we are currently sitting at eight one
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 1: hundred likes. Man, we could have smashed every single goal
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 1: on that wheel tonight. But as it was there, you say,
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 1: five hundred was the goal? Oh? Do we smash the
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 1: shit out of that? Love to see it. Let's do it.
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 1: Let's be the booker, Ladies and gentlemen. It is now
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: time to be the booker. Had a dog for seventeen years,
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: says mind the gap. That's a good long time. I
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 1: mean again, I was very fortunate to have in my
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 1: last cat eighteen years. That's pretty damn good. And yet
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: it still doesn't feel long enough. All right, here we go,
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 1: tag team, be the Booker. This is fun. We do
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 1: this at the end of most streams when we hit
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 1: the goal. See if we can book a better card
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: than the one we saw tonight. It's always the objective here,
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: and we already have because Terry, I see Terry Funk
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 1: on my screen. I already know it's a better card.
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 1: Terry Funk and Cactus Jack. Did they have a team
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think they had a team name. We'll have
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 1: to come up with one for him. Terry Funk Cactus
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: Jack against Cain and Daniel Bryan. Here you go. That's
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: a feature match right there. I got Daniel Brian in
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 1: there with Terry Funk. Alright, we got two more. We
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 1: need a ladies match. We need a good ladies match,
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 1: better than the tag team title match we had tonight.
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 1: Thunder Rosa, former a e W Women's World champion working
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 1: her way back, just came back recently from an extended
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 1: break due to injury. Solo in a do rag solo monster.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: That would be something. Thunder Rosa against Bailey, two former
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 1: women's world champions. I don't believe they've ever been in
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: the ring together. That would be an attraction. And in
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: our main event, here we go, mister Brodie Lee, the
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: former TNT champion, once destroyed Cody Rhoads in what three
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: minutes I believe it was still on the aw roster.
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 1: They still have him listed on the roster against the
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: former TNA and reigning NXT champion, Joe Hendry. Always love
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: me a good clean sweep here and be the booker.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 1: That's how it's done. Joe Hendry and mister Brodie Lee.

• 2:28:35
  Speaker 1: of be the booker on Wednesday, got ourselves a clean

  Speaker 1: all the love. Oh Venomktetsu celebrating seven months of membership.
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 1: Current cat at six years going on seven in September.
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 1: Best friend will be the worst break one day. Thanks
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 1: for your previous sharing of cat shelter support. Absolutely. Yeah,
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 1: they say dogs are a man's best friend, but cats men,
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: They just have their own personality. They're very independent. You
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 1: still got to clean up after them, but you don't
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 1: have to. There's a lot of things with cats you
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 1: don't have to do that you have to do with dogs.
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 1: But also depends on the kind of cat. Those orange
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 1: cats are crazy. I've never had one, but they're fucking nuts.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 1: I had a tabby myself, so that'll be my last one.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately it was with allergies and stuff. It doesn't make
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 1: any sense for me to, you know, bring a new
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 1: one into the home. I do miss it, though. They
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: just bring a special like joy into your life that
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 1: you do like when they're gone. This is very empty
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 1: feeling all the funny shit that they would do. Of course,
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 1: you know you want to just film it or take
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: pictures or whatever. I do miss that Navy forty one.
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 1: Who should induct Dennis Rodman into the Hall of Fame?
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: I would say either Eric Bischoff or Kevin Nesh would
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 1: make the most sense. Yep, I'm gonna talk more about
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 1: him going into the Hall of This is a ton
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 1: of shit I'm gonna be talking about on the podcast.
• 2:33:00
