Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Least Requested, Lease Demanded, and the
0:04
leaf Downloaded Wrestling Podcast PCW. This could be a long podcast, so strapping
0:14
and shut up and don't be a little bit about it. Who's the masses
0:34
question? Oh, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls trailing follow and just
0:43
welcome to another episode of pc W podcast Championship Wrestling. I am your host,
0:48
Wayne. I am also known as Semi dry Chicken. Uh, you
0:52
know what? Are you buckled in? This is gonna be a long ass
0:56
episode, so don't bench about it. You can take it in portions.
1:00
You can listen to a little bit of us now and then put it away
1:03
and then come back and listen to us a little bit later. We liked
1:07
the long episodes. Do you know what. I can't do these long episodes
1:10
by myself. Let me bring in my co host Dry you you know what
1:46
to do. Pc W crew. It's been a while, Yes, it
1:49
has been far too long. Far. We had this weird gap. We
1:55
just we couldn't feel it. We didn't have time to feel it. We
1:57
were all very busy. You know. It's been a month and we're back
2:00
and we got a lot for people tonight, our third man, the third
2:07
man, where is he? There? He is Doyle, Oh, it's
2:36
me, It's me. It's the d O I l E. And you
2:38
know, the only thing hotter I think than the fucking air outside right now
2:42
is the wrestling business because this is this ship hasn't been it's hot since the
2:46
Attitude era. I dare I say, you know, it's a proper name
2:51
Summer Slam, because how fucking hot it is right now. It's the biggest
2:54
party of the summer is great balls of Fire. Ye know, it's you
3:00
know, it's hot hell when you leave the gym and it's hotter outside than
3:04
it is in the gym, right I guess sweaty just driving myself off after
3:08
the shower. I mean, it's brought all. We've been gone for so
3:14
long, not that long, like a month, but I feel like we
3:17
should make this episode like three hours, roughly three hours, you know,
3:23
I just had this feeling that like three hours would be perfect, you know,
3:28
just roughly, because tonight we're trying something new, which we tried it
3:32
before, we kind of enjoyed it. We're gonna do it again. We're
3:36
gonna do our show while we're watching Monday Night Raw, and I think it'll
3:44
be pretty interesting. We can come up with some things along the way.
3:47
If something changes, the car changes, you know what, we're gonna be
3:51
live. We can just we can just change it right away. We can
3:53
just keep you updated. So if you missed Raw, you know tonight,
3:59
which is the thirty first. If you're missing Raw, we'll fill you in,
4:03
because you know what it's. Sometimes you don't need to sit there and
4:06
suffer through the three hours of Raw. We'll do it for you. Because
4:11
it could be just rematch after rematch after rematch, which I had this odd
4:15
feeling we could be seen, because that's that's how Monday Night Raw roles,
4:19
doesn't It could be recap after what happened on SmackDown after recap. I'm so
4:26
sick and tired of that shit, you know, just like, hey,
4:29
just in case you miss SmackDown, I know you're watching Raw, but let's
4:32
recap the past hour of SmackDown. Like, no, I'm here to watch
4:36
Monday Night Raw. What the fuck? Yeah, but it is to go
4:42
home show for a Summer Slam, So you know they're gonna give you those
4:45
recaps and stuff like that. And Bloodline is big business. So they always
4:49
gonna tell you, you know, this week, on this week's episode of
4:53
the Bloodline, here's what happened. You get number recaps where you wanted or
4:57
not. Yeah, And it seems like every time I turn on wrestling,
5:04
I'm seeing judgment day in one way, shape or form, whether it's uh,
5:09
the NXT North American Champion on Raw, which by the way, he's
5:14
a SmackDown wrestler. He's on Raw defending a NXT title makes no fucking sense.
5:18
Do you guys remember the draft? Do you remember that episode we did
5:21
about the draft? Is that? Does that matter anymore? M This might
5:28
be record time for the answer being no. No, It least seems like
5:32
it doesn't. It seems like exactly, it seems like why even bother?
5:39
I mean, it always always always delineates into not mattering, but it usually
5:45
takes the better part of a year or two, not three months or whatever
5:50
it's been. I mean, they they I think it didn't even take him
5:55
a week before there was I can't remember who it was, but somebody was
5:59
on the wrong show. You know, it's just like what what? What?
6:00
Why even bother? Yeah? Why why bother? Even? Maybe that's
6:05
why they haven't broken the tag title as yet, because like, why bother
6:10
just put everybody on whatever fucking show they feel like going. You know,
6:13
well, you know, I actually had a thought about that. Um,
6:16
apparently Ko is legit injured and I don't know how long he's scheduled to be
6:24
out or whatever. But if it's a lengthy enough amount of time, there
6:28
might be a great excuse to split up those titles. You know, if
6:30
you strip Sammy and Ko that way, you don't you also don't have to
6:33
have them lose, uh, and you can split the titles. I mean,
6:38
I don't know. Of course that makes so much sense. That's not
6:40
what they're gonna do. Yeah, I mean, they could make them forcibly
6:45
forfeit the titles, and then all right, now that they're forfeited, we're
6:47
putting them on each separate brand. But I don't know, they may be
6:50
committed to just having one single tag team. Yeah, Yeah, it's got
6:57
to come up with a single tag team. Belt. Stop having folks walk
7:00
out with two and three belts all the damn time. These moments seemingly finally
7:04
got the memos past Friday onst Backdown, Yeah, walked out with one belt
7:10
Paul Hammond left the other two backstage, so they're not completely off the show.
7:13
They are there, but he left them backstage because I was like,
7:16
we get it, we understand that you held the WWE title and the Universal,
7:21
but can you just fucking leave him behind because if not, it seems
7:26
like this new title you have it's just I don't know, just the different
7:30
color, it's just just decoration. And it seems like the only reason why
7:36
they keep the two there is because of his streak as a champion, because
7:43
since he didn't obviously winning them both at the same time, he's running two
7:46
separate streaks. So you know, the thousand plus days is technically for the
7:49
Universal Championship, whereas the ww Championship he's somewhere maybe in the four to five
7:58
hundred day range. Well, I mean, he's such a narcissistic, egomaniacal
8:03
douche bag it makes perfect sense for them to give him another belt and for
8:07
him to continue to carry off Watch Watch Off. Talking about the tribal chiefs,
8:11
now expect, so I would expect when Cody beats him in WrestleMania forty,
8:16
he will carry the one belt and we won't see the other two.
8:20
That's my probably, and then when Cody wins it, it'll just be a
8:24
new, fresh singular rain. Yeah, and then he can put that ugly
8:28
ass logo of his on it somehow and neck tattoo on one side and something
8:35
on the other side. Speaking of tattoos, did you guys see that Dominic
8:39
got a tattoo on the side of his face? Boo villain in Spanish espola?
8:48
Why is it real? Or is it like Ria Ripley's tattoo? Look
8:54
pretty real? Um, this escaped my attention. I am shocked, shocked,
9:01
I tell you, I guess Cody Roades told him that getting in that
9:03
tattoo was a good idea. Huh. He already has plenty of inks,
9:09
so you can imagine another one. Doesn't surprise me. Yeah, it's kind
9:13
of fitting given how much he of how over he is as a villain right
9:18
now. He's essentially one of the top heels in the whole damn company right
9:22
now, So I just say he's probably just embracing it going all in.
9:26
So normally, when when they kick off Monday Night Raw, I would say
9:31
I could always guess who's gonna come out first, and I always assume and
9:35
I always guess Seth Rollins right, either Seth Rollins or somehow the judgment day.
9:41
But tonight they're kicking off the show with logan Paul. Yeah. Terrible
9:52
to get this shit on out the way. We're five days away, guys,
9:54
We're five days away, and you know what, in the meantime,
9:58
I'm sure he's gonna just talk to you about Ricochet, you know, calling
10:01
people virgins in the front row, real real heelis right, calling people virgins.
10:07
What the hell? Um, I got some news for you, guys.
10:11
I made a little new bumper because we got some reviews. Oh do.
10:18
We got some juicy reviews, We got some ratings. We got some
10:22
reviews, and I would love, just love to play them for you guys.
10:26
So let's take a second go over reviews. Let's see who acknowledged us.
10:35
Acknowledge acknowledge movie, No, acknowledge me, acknowledge the whole old gentlemen.
11:05
We got some acknowledgement this week, coming from Eddie's social chief twenty three
11:09
at gmail dot com gave us a five star, five star, five star,
11:15
five star five star reading Now love the podcast. You guys are very
11:20
informative and funny, always looking forward to the next show. Well, spank
11:26
you very much, Edwin next, appreciate it. We have Dwayne, who
11:31
I've been hassling forever. Man's always talking to me about my podcast. Man's
11:35
always stopping me in public, asking me when's the next episode? When's the
11:37
next episode. I was like, we leave her review, maybe I'll tell
11:41
you when the next episode is, and he says, I was going to
11:43
leave your review, but you're roasted me for two minutes. And guess what
11:48
I'm glad I did because this mother docker finally left the review. So Dwayne
11:52
at de Coleman eleven eighty seven at gmail dot com five stars. Loved the
11:58
podcast, informative and plenty of laughs. Keep it up, you guys,
12:03
Laker. Thanks Dwayne, Yeah, and Jeremy at Jeremy Allenbach at gmail dot
12:11
com give us a five star. Great to listen to, always a good
12:16
time man. You know what, we need more of these reviews people.
12:22
So if you I've seen the downloads, it looks like the past couple of
12:26
weeks we've had an uptick in downloads. You know. I don't know if
12:30
it's because the WW product has gotten crappier or we have gotten better maybe we
12:35
found that happy medium. But we're on the rise, gentlemen, we're on
12:39
the rise. We're close to Summer Slam, and you know what, we
12:43
need more of those reviews, So if you're listening, get it to us.
12:48
Wait White, So thank you for everybody who drops them. We will
12:52
be They already are up on our website. If you scroll all the way
12:56
down to the very bottom, you can see all the reviews. If you
13:00
want to leave one, you can rate us right there. Hell, if
13:03
you want to give us a four point five star review, I'll allow it.
13:07
Even I allow it, but we prefer the five star. You know,
13:11
we got a streak going, and if anybody knows anything about streaks,
13:16
it's us WW fans, So you know, we want to keep the street
13:20
going. News. You know what, dol, you were just talking about
13:28
U an injury? Correct? Oh, I was, yeah. It seems
13:33
that Kevin Owens has a rib issue. I don't know if it's a crack
13:37
or a break or what. I don't know how long he's gonna be out,
13:39
But I think tonight, I think we see we're gonna see Sammy and
13:43
Seth teaming up against the judgment day. I think, um, I guess
13:50
we'll find out sent enough here, but you know, it's gotta be kind
13:54
of wondering. We kind of wondered if we didn't get a tag match for
14:00
the championships at Summers Slam at all. It looks like that's a big no.
14:05
But I'm wondering what they're gonna do going forward. We've been talking about
14:09
are they aren't they going to split the titles up? And I just thought
14:13
maybe this might be a good chance to do that without burying or without even
14:18
having Sammy and Kao having to lose a match technically, if they were stripped
14:22
and then they decided to split the titles like that, that might be a
14:26
good way to get out of that and kind of painted themselves into a corner
14:28
a little bit. But that just makes so much, damn sense I doubt
14:33
that's what they'll do. Yeah, I mean, go ahead, I'm gonna
14:37
say yeah. If KO can't compete, then they gotta come up with some
14:41
way to get the titles off them, because we've already gone through people holding
14:46
titles and sitting on them with little to no action taking place. We got
14:52
Roman Reigns, who defends the titles once every quarter. We've got Ria Ripley,
14:56
who won the women's world title that wrestl well, the SmackDown title that's
15:01
become the women's world title at WrestleMania, and she's had two quality title defenses
15:09
since then. We're going out in the Summer's Lam, like two major defenses
15:13
since then? How many oscar since she won the title? She has had
15:20
not a single defense. So, I mean the one person who's actually being
15:24
a real workhorse with their belt is seth Rawlins. So yeah, we don't
15:30
need to continue this trend. I know WW wants to have longer title reigns
15:33
and all that. That's all well and good, but if somebody can't go,
15:39
then don't just have them sitting on the title or have Sammy and these
15:41
solo feuds without anybody challenging for the belts, acting like these acting like we
15:46
ain't got plenty attack teams who should, in a common sense world look at
15:52
one of the champions being injured and say, ooh, how's a perfect time
15:56
to strike. So yeah, if Ko can't go, then they need to
16:03
come up off the belts. Well, you know what, speaking of KO
16:06
injuries, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna roll right in some news with these
16:08
here, hold on, here we go, Here we go. I got
16:18
some fucking news. We'll talk about some injuries. I got a long list.
16:22
It reminds me of when Chris Jericho had that list of holds he could
16:26
do with WCW, that long, long list that drops to the floor.
16:30
Mine is full of injuries. All right. So we got Ko out right.
16:36
We also got Bailey out with a knee injury. I don't know if
16:40
that was temporary, but she might be back to full one percent. I'm
16:45
not quite sure. I did see her on the other day. Elton Prince
16:51
is out with a separated shoulder. Recently, Live Morgan is out with an
16:56
injury. I think it was arm injury. I think they've played that pretty
17:00
well. She might actually require surgery. Yeah, I think that she came
17:04
back too soon. Yeah. Recently on SmackDown, we saw Ray Mysterio legitimate,
17:11
legitimately get hurt. Looks think he may have bounce the back of his
17:15
head off the off the ground there after a suicide dive by Escobar that wasn't
17:22
planned. You know, I watched it a couple of times. He did
17:26
bounce his head off that pretty well. Yeah, I mean you're always always
17:32
wonder something like that, if it's a work, if it's a shoot.
17:34
Uh yeah. I watched it a couple of times. Uh slowed it down
17:38
like it was the fucking Zabruta film. Uh yeah. I think I think
17:42
he was legit hurt. And if he wasn't, why why the fuck would
17:48
they What a weird way to handle that match. It just doesn't have a
17:52
sense. Uh So, I think it's pretty legit the way they can I
17:56
tend to agree. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Initially, I
17:59
didn't think it would a legitimate injury, and I was pissed at the way
18:03
they booked it. Something like that doesn't Santos Ascabar no favors. It doesn't
18:07
give him any kind of momentum heading into a US title match with Austin theory,
18:11
and it's just terrible booking all around. But if the injury was legitimate
18:15
and they had to make a call on the fly to just in the match,
18:19
and whether the injury it was an actual concussion, or if they just
18:23
used that moment, or if the injury or something else and they just used
18:26
what appeared to be a concussion as a way to get the match over with
18:30
because he's legitimately injured in some other way. Either way, that was a
18:33
smart choice if it was legit and kind of unfortunate for Santos Ascobar though,
18:38
because he really could have used a clean, legitimate win over Ray to give
18:42
him some momentum well the US CHAM. But yeah, but I guess we're
18:52
not getting that match after someone Slam, Is that right? I believe?
18:56
So? Yeah, they said I think they said two weeks last week,
18:59
so that would they're doing this a US title no favors. You know,
19:03
you would think they would do it either at SUMMERSLAMB or the week before.
19:07
Is he like the final show, right? And it's not like they're I
19:11
think we've only got I wrote it down here. I think we've only got
19:15
eight or nine matches officially set. I think we've still got Trishan Becky to
19:19
go. But it's not like there's uh so the card is so packed you
19:23
can't possibly get the uh fucking US title on it exactly. It's just the
19:30
booking of that title has been atrocious, especially if you plan on, you
19:36
know, having Escobar win and win the US title. It'd be nice to
19:38
do that like SummerSlam with fucking fifty thousand people stadium, you know. Yeah,
19:47
also out with an injury still, Dakota Kai, tarn acl bront Her
19:52
for a while, I don't think. Yeah, bron Strowman looks like he'll
19:56
be out for a while as well. He had was right, Yeah,
20:00
I didn't he have like spine spine, next fusion or something like that or
20:03
whatever. Yeah, uh, you know, still on the injured list.
20:10
Shane and Bray Wyatt Shane mcman Embryo. We haven't seen Shane since WrestleMania.
20:14
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty happy about that. Yeah, bray Wyatt,
20:19
you know, we haven't seen him since I don't know. He was supposed
20:25
to be at WrestleMania against Bobby Lashleigh. Still haven't seen him. Still having
20:29
health issues. Uh. Kofi Kingston out, but there's rumors that he is
20:36
soon ready to come back, sooner than later. So I'm glad about that.
20:41
Wendy Chew from NXT, she's out with an unknown injury. Robert Rude
20:48
still out with his spine. I think he also had a next fusion,
20:52
next spine say something similar to what Braun Strowman has. Um Our Truth is
20:59
out with a torn wad still Aliah is still out with an undisclosed injury,
21:06
Randy Orton still out with his back injury for now, and last but not
21:11
least, Big Ye still out with that neck injury. Uh. I expect
21:17
Biggie hopefully back soon. I missed Biggie. Um, yeah, I mean
21:26
that that's a that's a big list. I don't know if I missed anybody.
21:27
I'm sure because I mean it seems like people are just getting injured left
21:33
and right right before a pay per view too. You know Big broke very
21:41
long term a year ago. Yeah, yeah, since Logan Paul kicked off
21:48
the Monday and Night Raw episode here I do. I did see the other
21:52
day that Rick Flair said that Logan Paul is better than seventy percent of the
21:56
people on the main roster, and I commented Rick Flair also drinks a lot.
22:03
Today is the one year anniversary of Rick Flair's last last match. Yeah
22:08
for now, right, old man just be talking. Yeah, Also,
22:17
who hasn't been on for a while. I don't know if it was an
22:19
injury or just I assume it's something creative. But they were talking to Dakota
22:26
Kai mentioned that Piper and Nevin would be a good fit for Damage Control,
22:30
which I think that would be a good fit for Piper and Nevin considering she
22:34
If they don't have anything for her, just add her to Damage Control.
22:40
If, especially if Dakota Kai is gonna be out for a while, add
22:42
another member. I'm fine with that. I give give these women something to
22:48
do. Yeah, I mean, I guess they could add somebody to Damage
22:55
Control to fill the void from Dakota Kai. I just don't know that Bernivin
23:00
is the person to fill that void. I don't I don't know. I
23:03
don't see where that makes much sense, And honestly, I don't see much
23:07
room for it right now with Damage Control's current line, with storyline that they
23:11
have going, because right now all the focus is on EO with the money
23:15
in the bank briefcase, and Bailey's getting into something with SHOTSI right now,
23:19
so they're both pretty occupied with their own fuges. And then obviously the underlying
23:26
tension that potentially there between Bailey and EO, and Bailey possibly having some jealousy
23:33
maybe over the possibility of EO becoming a champion or what could happen if EO
23:37
does become champion Donald So, I mean, I don't right now. I
23:40
don't think Damage Control needs a new member. I think they have enough going
23:42
on right now just with the two of them that can sustain them for enough
23:47
time. Yeah, I don't know how long Damage Control is for this world
23:51
anyway. I kind of feel like eos the stories surrounding EO cashing, and
23:57
it's probably going to be the end of them, uh, unless it goes
24:00
on so long the Dakota comes back. But h I don't expect them to
24:07
be a pair whenever wherever EO cashes in. If it's if it's barely fucks
24:12
it up for then they're gonna you know, I don't see them going on
24:17
as a team much longer. M h Uh. Recently, long term long
24:23
time WWE chairman vinsic Man, the man who's still secretly in charge, reportedly
24:30
underwent major spinal surgery last week. Get seventy seven years old. Pretty pretty
24:36
intensive procedure took about five hours. Huh. Did not know? Um,
24:45
you know as much as some days I wake up and I hate vinsick Man.
24:49
Uh, you know, I'm glad he's okay. I maybe it's just
24:56
some long overdue surgery, but damn, sever still still making a still changing
25:04
scripts and stuff, you know, who knows. Maybe even like right after
25:08
surgery he found a way to change the script somehow. He called in and
25:12
he had Hunter and change the script. And also it's we just came up
25:17
on the one year anniversary that I say it with big fucking quotes that Triples
25:22
was in charge of creative Yeah. Also he just had a birthday recently with
25:29
top Zio random facts. Yeah. Well, the word I've heard just to
25:33
describe Vincent's surgery was life altering. So yeah, presumably he's going to be
25:40
down and probably out of commission for a good while, probably at least at
25:44
home recovering. So hopefully that will limit the amount of influence he is able
25:49
to try and execute in the backstage booking affairs of the company and trip Leach
25:56
can get back to doing what he has been doing. Yeah, there's some
26:02
things. There's some aside from the week to week things that you can sometimes
26:07
point out and say that, okay, that seems like a Vince thing.
26:10
They have also apparently been some long term plans that Vince interfere with or put
26:17
the put the axe to. Like remember when we all thought the way was
26:21
coming back with Gargano and all of them, and then they seemed like they
26:26
were teasing that and all of a sudden we never heard anything from it.
26:30
Again. Well that's also been a little snake bitten by injury too. Yeah,
26:33
but word it is not well. Word is that what you call it?
26:37
That Vince killed that idea? But it would that he that he asked
26:41
that plan. Because as far as injury, I don't think Johnny Gargano's injured.
26:47
We know the chomp Thomas Champas back, Yeah she was, but I
26:56
mean we haven't. I don't haven't seen her get injured on you like all
27:00
I've seen. The last we saw of them was them all backstage was Gargano,
27:04
Indy hartwell, uh what's the old girl? Pixie girl? Yeah,
27:15
and and Creeper chokeout guy blank. It was like a Dexter Loomis. Yeah.
27:22
See that's what happen. We gonna put people on tea. You forget
27:25
who the hell they are. Yeah, we saw them all backstage, got
27:27
the tease that maybe they would be coming reuniting. Since then Tomasso choppers come
27:33
back and he's doing his thing. So I'm not aware of any of them
27:36
being injuried. So it seems like it would be problem that they could have
27:37
done it, but supposedly Vince is the one who killed it, and maybe
27:41
now that he's at home, Triples could maybe take the opportunity, like you
27:45
know what, old Fox sitting in his bed doing shit, bring back my
27:48
home. I really hope I've heard, and I don't think this is a
27:53
surprise, is that he's the one that's behind everybody having a nickname all of
27:57
a sudden, Yeah dumb and big Bronson read and seth freaking rollins. I
28:03
think we even speculated that sounds an vinced thing. Yeah, saying that,
28:08
sure enough, it's a vinced thing. Yeah, that was the room.
28:11
Real that he tried that one week with trying to get everybody these alliteration nicknames,
28:15
and apparently they didn't do it the following week, so maybe they it
28:21
was a thing that he tried. And to realize, real quick, okay,
28:22
this ain't really hitting like that. Aside from dirty Dumb, that's the
28:26
only one that seems to kind of stuck. The rest of him just really
28:30
didn't make much sense at all. Speaking of Gargano, he came back in
28:34
a dark match. Well, I think it was a house show actually House
28:37
show matched the other day, but he lost to Omas, who also has
28:41
been off of TV for a while. How about that that guy was you
28:47
know on couple of pay per views, went against brock Lesner and was it
28:52
seth Rollins and then just disappeared, just disappeared for a hot minute. So
28:57
we talked about Gargano or Omas. Oh Moss, sorry but cars the trouble.
29:03
Yeah, just disappeared for a couple of weeks. Yeah, well,
29:07
such is the problem of being a really big man. All you can if
29:11
you if you don't have enough of an entertaining personality to sustain you on television,
29:15
all you can do is just be a big guy in the ring.
29:18
Then you ain't got other big guys to slap meat with the What the hell
29:22
else can we do to you? Do with you? You're not compete for
29:25
a title, haven't you? You know? Squash local jobbers every week is
29:30
gonna get boring real quick as we saw, and we ain't got nobody else
29:34
for you to feel whip. So yep, don't take it to the crib,
29:40
homie, chill out for a little while. I know we talked about
29:44
Kevin Owen's injury here for a little bit. But Kevin Owen's supposedly only has
29:48
a year and a half left on its WW contract. We know some of
29:51
these wrestlers signed three five year contracts. So for us a year and a
29:56
half, you know it does it is far away. But for WWE fans,
30:00
a year and a half and go buy it very quickly. States doesn't
30:03
know what the future holds other than wanting to enjoy the remaining said period left
30:08
as much as possible, appreciate the legend while we still have him full time.
30:15
You know, Grant's out now for an injury, but I love Kevin
30:18
Owen's. I I'd be heartbroken if he left. If he you know,
30:22
he let I think he's happy where he's at now in the company. So
30:26
I don't see him unless he's taking time off to physically heal. I don't
30:30
see him like leaving and going, you know, jumping ship to like aw
30:34
or some shit like that. He strikes me as a life Yeah, he
30:40
strikes me as a life first. Yeah. I mean even if even if
30:42
he retire in a year and a half, I could see him sticking around
30:47
as a manager or an a backstage agent or something. Yeah. Um,
30:53
last bit of news here. That'd be a great topic to talk about.
30:59
The past couple of weeks, we've seen Bobby Lashly. You know, he
31:03
looks like he's not forming the Hurt business no more. We thought that it
31:07
may have been the case a couple of months ago. We talked about it,
31:11
the potential of the Hurt business getting back together centric Alexander and Shumpan Benjamin
31:18
MVP maybe and and I don't know if they were even got their omas in
31:21
there, but it looks like that's not the case. It looks like they're
31:25
going a completely different route. We saw Bobby Lashley talking to the street profits
31:30
recently. Also, you know, chatting I don't think so much, but
31:34
chatting a little bit with Carmelo Hayes, the NXT champion, But it looks
31:38
like he's geared more towards getting street profits together. We saw a little segment
31:44
where he got them into a limo and they drove away. We don't really
31:48
see these three interact with each other often. We are not, you know,
31:55
maybe face and heel, but never on the same side. Like they're
32:00
they're talking now. Um. We saw them sitting down the other night.
32:05
It looks like they're having a few drinks and looks like they were gonna uh
32:08
uh get oh god, why mc blancot on his name? Uh Angelo Dawkins,
32:15
Angela Dawkins. Yeah, it looks like they were gonna get him out
32:17
of those sweats finally get him into a suit. You know, I know
32:22
he loves wrestling and shorts, basketball shorts and like you know, walking around
32:25
with sweats and you know Montes four likes to dress of all snazzy, but
32:30
it looks like they might be getting him to dress snazzi too. Umdrey,
32:34
I mean Bobby didn't mention Kamalo Hayes and his friend Yeah, Trick Williams promo,
32:40
Yeah, I would. I wouldn't rule out the five of them.
32:44
Yeah, yeah, exactly the Trey. What do you think about these guys
32:49
forming a group together. I mean, you know, a new direction for
32:52
the street profits and you know two guys coming up from NXT. I mean,
32:58
for me, I'm all for one. I wouldn't necessarily rule out or
33:02
necessarily setting stone that Carmelo, Hayes and Trick Williams would get the call up
33:08
from NXT if they if they formed a new stable, they could still remain
33:13
in NXT and still kind of be associated with this stable, and it could
33:17
just be a stable that exists across multiple shows, which would be something right,
33:23
which would be something new and putting a twist on it rather than just
33:27
all right, here's another group of wrestlers were throwing together and forming another staple
33:30
instead of just be a multi show staple that exists where Trick Williams and you
33:36
know and Carmelo Hayes are doing their thing on NXT which side note, shout
33:40
out to Carmelo Hayes. He had a phenomenal main event match with Dragging Off
33:47
at the Great American Bash over the weekend. That match was excellent. Like
33:52
if you have not seen that match, I highly recommend even if you one
33:57
of the whole Great American Bash pay per view as a whole was a good
34:00
show. There really weren't any bad matches other than the Baron Corbyn Gable Stevenson
34:05
match. Everything else was good. I mean, the weapons anywhere matched with
34:12
I'm blanking old girl's name anyway, I'm not gonna link on it too much,
34:17
but like I said, the whole pay per view was great, really
34:22
good from start to finish, and that main event was phenomenal. That's better
34:29
than some main events we've seen on regular w W shows and pay per views.
34:34
Like if I had to give it a rating out of five stars,
34:36
I would give it easily four and a half out of five stars. The
34:42
match was that good, an ext great American Bash? Correct, Yeah,
34:46
an ext great American Bash has happened last night. Like I said that,
34:51
those two Armella Hayes and dragging off, they beat the shit out of each
34:54
other. It almost it had old school wrestling vibes to it with the flare
34:59
of obviously their modern athleticism. But again, great match. But getting back
35:04
to the populationly in this new faction, Like I said, I'm all for
35:08
it because for one, Street Profits kind of need a change up. They've
35:14
done this thing for and taking this current iteration of their characters about as far
35:20
as it can go. So giving them a bit of a makeover, a
35:23
bit of a refurbishing, some renewal to their look could be the thing that
35:30
just to take them to the next level, if they plan on, if
35:32
they're going to keep the Street Profits together as a tag team. For the
35:37
longest time we thought that there was they were on the verge of being split
35:42
because we thought montest for was set for a solo push. Obviously that seems
35:46
to maybe not be the case in that street profits are going to continue,
35:49
So giving them a makeover, giving them a refresh, I think that's good.
35:53
Also, if the bloodlines, you know, on the decline, and
35:59
we're in the final chapters of that faction and whatever it may turn out to
36:04
be, something's gonna have to fill that void, or at the very least,
36:08
we need another faction to counter a faction like Judgments to Day, which
36:14
seems to be taking excuse me, taking over everything, And especially in light
36:20
of the success that they've had, I wouldn't rule out Bianca looking up with
36:24
them either exactly. And I think WW or at the very least, Triple
36:30
H knows how popular the Hurt Business was and how much people still long for
36:36
that kind of faction. So whether this group reforms under the name Hurt Business
36:42
or if they reform under another name, I'm all for it. Because Bobby
36:47
Lashly chasing and losing and failing to capture the US title, Yeah, I
36:55
would just really never did anything for him. It was nice, even him
36:58
with the belt, but he deserved better than that. He seemed to just
37:00
kind of just middle middle about and just linger about the mid card ever since
37:06
he dropped a w W title. And like I said, Bobby just blashly
37:10
deserves better than that. I think three prophets deserve better than just being tag
37:16
team that's just treading water. So them all linking up with in a faction
37:22
with a new sense of direction can be good for both of them. And
37:27
then, like I said, if you extend that down to Carmelo Hayes and
37:30
Trick Williams down in the next te that gives us something new that we haven't
37:34
seen in other factions in terms of this one faction existing across multiple shows.
37:38
I think that I love that idea. I hadn't even considered that. I
37:42
think that's great. If they could get somebody on I don't even remember what
37:47
are they on SmackDown. If they could get somebody on Raw, so three
37:51
brands, that'd be great. Yeah, we haven't seen that something new.
37:58
Yeah, I think that'd be great. Just come up with a name for
38:00
it that that works. That's why you're a fantasy bucking king. Yeah,
38:05
I don't think it should. Also, when I got to come up with
38:07
a name, now, I just off the top of my head, I
38:10
did have to think about this the other day. If I was going to
38:12
name the faction, I would probably call it legacy. I would give that
38:16
name legacy because you think about what legacy is. It's but somebody builds up
38:22
and then leaves behind for the next generation. So but didn't remember how didn't
38:30
we already have a legacy? We had evolution. Wasn't Randy and Cody and
38:37
yeah the legacy and Ted j Yeah, but they were legacy. I get
38:44
fuck the name, no real legacy, so we don't remember that and fuck
38:50
them when when? When when Ted Das Junior goes to jail, I'm sure
38:54
they're gonna want to dissociate from any memory of having him around. Yeah,
39:00
very true. Maybe yeah, I don't know. Some name that represents the
39:05
fact that, you know, Bobby Lashley is the still the now, but
39:09
maybe the latter half of the now Street Profits represents the prime now, and
39:14
then Carmelo and trick Can represents the next. So again, I don't know
39:21
what you would call it. I thought I shot my shot with Legacy,
39:24
but apparently some white boys in the past that that ship, Oh shit,
39:34
everything, don't we Yeah, we have a half ship. We ruined all
39:37
his fun you know, you know this this is this is just run and
39:43
dre shit mm hm oh luv Kaiser with the victory and we just ruined.
39:53
It's like it's ahead of me. I feel like a spoiler now, sorry,
40:01
I like, I like, what what is Matt Riddle doing? You
40:07
know right now? Anyway, it's nothing. I can't wait to watch this
40:13
again, so like, just so I can hear her, Samantha Irvin say
40:16
Ludd, she doesn't all three of them so well, yeah, I thought
40:27
he was like future absolutely not well yeah, sex take sex table weeks on
40:35
the internet. Yeah, uh yeah, he really hasn't. He hasn't done
40:42
much of anything since Randy Organ's injury. I don't know. I haven't seen
40:46
much from Riddle that shows he can stand on his own as an individual competitor.
40:52
And that's kind of been the problem with him. He was connected with
40:55
Randy for the long time. Then once Randy was gone, he kind of
41:00
middled about with no direction until personal issues got yeah, until personal issues told
41:06
me had to take time out. Then when he comes back, he immediately
41:07
links up with Kao and Sammy Zane Yea and kind of tank and kind of
41:14
hangs on their coat tails for a little bit, and now that that seems
41:16
to kind of be overright, So yeah, what's lucky. The last good
41:22
feud he had by himself was with Seth Rollins, I think, yeah,
41:25
when they had the fight pit match. Yeah. Yeah, and after that
41:29
it kind of did nothing with it. That's it and yeah it um damn
41:36
oh. I know I wanted to bring up so we were talking a little
41:39
bit about you watch Drey. You watched the NFC Great American Bash the other
41:44
night. Um so Gable Stevenson made his again another debut, his in ring
41:52
debut I Guess against Baron Corbin and ended in a double count out. Only
41:57
last is the shortest match of the night is six miss thirty two seconds.
42:00
From what I saw, uh, you know, Corbin sound like he was
42:05
being the one that was being cheered and Gabel was the one being booed.
42:12
I even saw, uh Gabel. Stevenson's brother Damian Kemp mocks his NXT debut
42:20
match. He says, I mean, if the guy would have had a
42:22
proper trainer, maybe he would have won his NXT debut. I heard he
42:29
got kind of booed out of there. You know, they're making this guy
42:34
are attempting to make him maybe the next curd Angle, but I you know,
42:37
a lot of us don't see it. Uh no, uh, you
42:45
know, he's not even the next Jason Jordan. I don't think. Yeah.
42:49
I mean, so it seems like this guy should stay in the n
42:52
XT for a while. Um maybe maybe for like staying XT for a while
42:58
is without question, Like I don't even I don't even know if he's an
43:04
x T ready, honestly, Like the thing is, we know he's been
43:07
signed to w W for years, but we don't know how much time he's
43:12
actually put into training for this type of wrestling, because he still has this
43:19
collegiate career with the NC Double A, and he still has the Olympics that
43:24
he's been training for, and it seems to me like that's where his focus
43:28
has been obviously still still you know, competing on the college level and then
43:34
using that to keep fresh while he trains for the Olympics. What you're coming
43:37
up next year. So I don't think he's put much time into actual w
43:43
W work, Like it's probably been something that he's just done, like,
43:45
Okay, I got some free time, let me go do some w W
43:47
stuff and some ringwork and takes some bumps, YadA, YadA, YadA.
43:52
Yeah, I know, um NXC ran things some weeks back where he was
43:55
going to make his decision of what he was gonna do. I don't know
44:00
whatever came about from that. I'm assuming. I don't know if he announced
44:04
that he's on all in on WWE or if he's still going to do the
44:12
uh college thing and the Olympics next year. I would so I think he's
44:16
probably still going to do both of those. I don't Again, I don't
44:20
know one hundred percent. So all I say all that to say that his
44:27
lack of full commitment to the WWE and training for that absolutely showed in this
44:34
match. Well he was he was supposed to be a baby face right right,
44:38
right, I got food out of the building, right, And I
44:42
think, well, I'm just gonna say, even if he was a wizard
44:45
in the ring, right, some guys wrestle for twenty years and can never
44:50
get that aspect of you know, like some guy like you know, like
44:54
the Rock Hogan. Matt Wrestle made eighteen right when when the crowd behaved completely
44:59
de friendly than they thought they would, and both of them without missing a
45:02
beat adapted to it and the double turn, and some guys will just never
45:08
ever get that aspect of the game. And sure I would imagine that Gable
45:13
Stevens or Stevenson Weatherhill's name is, you know, especially in your first match,
45:19
but that could take years to develop, you know. And I think
45:22
they got to give him the reaction. From what I understand, they should
45:27
just scrap him as a baby face and just go heal with him a while
45:30
before anyone's ready to cheer for him. I think it's certainly. Certainly,
45:35
I think they did try to sell him as a baby face, thinking that
45:37
people were just going to naturally gravitate to him, because you know, his
45:40
few appearances that he has made in the past, he did kind of get
45:44
cheered. But now that he is a active competitor in there. And here's
45:52
the thing. When he first came out, he didn't really get booed.
45:53
It's not like he got booed immediately on introduction, and Barren Korman didn't get
45:58
cheered immediately on introduce auction. But once the match started, that's when everything
46:04
flipped. And I don't know if it was a case of just the fans
46:07
rejecting the fact of him being thrown on this pay per view match, on
46:14
this pay per view event, having done no you know, work beforehand.
46:19
You know, whether it's a case of, like you know, how fans
46:21
turn on Roman rains, feel like this person is being shoved down our throat
46:22
that we don't want. I don't know if that was the course the source
46:25
of why they booed him, or maybe just they saw that just how green
46:30
he was and how bad he looked in the ring, and they were like,
46:31
oh, you look like absolute dog shit dude. Noah, Noah,
46:34
get the fuck out of here, and that's why they decided to start bulling
46:36
him. But I think his way stuff can't be discounted in that equation as
46:44
to why he was getting booed. Possibly, possibly, but I would think,
46:51
giving how relentless WW audiences could be, I would think that there would
46:54
have been a chance related to that and that did not happened. Like he
47:00
got booed, we got Baron Corbin chance, we got your not angle chance,
47:07
and things of that nature, right right, Nothing related to the allegations
47:14
or the rumors and stuff. Yeah, the stuff he's allegedly had may or
47:20
may not have done, So nothing of that nature came out, and I
47:22
would imagine that if that was more well known and more public knowledge, that
47:28
one w W wouldn't have him on TV because, you know, publicly traded
47:31
company and as much could will and much hype as y'all have right now,
47:36
the last thing they would want is a stain like this stealing headlines, especially
47:40
going into one of their top pay per views. So again I don't think
47:45
that's necessarily the case. I think this was just more tied to the fact
47:49
that the fans just don't want to see him on a pay per view like
47:53
this, and especially looking as green and as terrible as he kind of did,
47:58
which again he didn't like absolutely dog shit, but he definitely looked like
48:00
somebody who had not had a match before. He looked green as hell,
48:07
and Baron Corbyn absolutely carried him through that match, which wound up ending in
48:12
a no contest because they just kept fighting outside and then once they were ruled
48:15
a dull contest and Jays it just went too full on brawl with you know,
48:20
guys coming out trying to security trying to break them up, and they're
48:23
beating the security up and jumping back on each other and still fighting and YadA,
48:28
YadA, YadA. So apparently this few might continue, you which,
48:32
if it does, Baron Corban needs to be winning it and coming out on
48:37
top, at least initially, because it makes absolutely no sense for somebody as
48:44
green as Gable Steveson to get any kind of win over a veteran like Baron
48:49
Corbin, no matter how much y'all have jobbed this guy out. Yeah,
48:53
as I recall, when Kurt first came out, he was pushed down our
48:57
throats as an ultimate white meat baby face, and the crowd fucking hated him
49:00
until, you know, to the point where, still to this day,
49:04
he gets the US, you know, even though his beloved Hall of Famer
49:09
icon. Uh so, maybe where he kind of seeing history repeat itself a
49:14
little bit there. But the thing is with Kurt, though, you could
49:16
see that Kurt had it from the very beginning. He had the n ring
49:21
performance, he had the personality on the mic, and he presented himself as
49:25
the white knee baby face. But he was absolutely a full on heel the
49:30
whole time. He was booked as a heel from the very beginning. He
49:32
just presented I misremembering, Yeah, he was a he was a heel,
49:38
but he was. He presented him. He tried to talk about himself like
49:42
he was a good guy, you know, intensity, integrity, and intelligence.
49:46
He talked about himself as being so good, but it was more like
49:50
a in a heelish way, like I'm the model that you guys should aspire
49:55
to be kind of thing. But either way, from the very joke,
50:00
we saw that Kurt had it. He could absolutely go in the ring.
50:05
Stevenson can't go get in the ring? No, no, no, yeah,
50:10
he used to go. Well also Kurt angle, like you know,
50:14
he he had his mind completely focused on WW. He wasn't in multiple different
50:20
places at once. He was focused on one task at the time. And
50:24
I think that's the problem here is I mean, like, if if you're
50:28
gonna I'm sorry kid, if you're in WW, you gotta be all in,
50:31
like because if if you're not all in, then then we as fans
50:37
show Yeah, and you know, we especially you know, we don't like
50:43
people who half acid, you know, we don't. We also don't like
50:46
people who come in just get a quick paycheck, you know, and then
50:52
lead you know, people from has a long history of rejecting part timers.
50:57
Yeah, and like people who just come in. You know, it's hard
51:00
for people to get over like Logan Paul, because we know you're coming in
51:05
to get a quick paycheck and then you're gonna leave. But you know some
51:09
people, you know, just you're not gonna get over as a face.
51:13
It's like you're gonna be heal whether you like it or not. And it's
51:16
gonna be a hard hard sell to win us over. I mean, who
51:21
knows, who knows, But I'm just saying, like, if you want
51:24
us to believe it, you gotta be all in, man, you gotta
51:29
you gotta put all your focus into one task at a time. Um.
51:34
But yeah, uh, you guys want to roll up on Summer Slam.
51:39
Now Summer Slam, pretty sars. You guys got anything else you want to
51:45
put in? Oh? I wanted to do a dead Guy corner? What
51:52
Dead guy corner? A right? Well, here you go go ahead.
51:59
Yeah. Yeah. Today, today we got the news that we lost yet
52:01
another legend. Uh. You know, a man whose work it was almost
52:06
exclusively outside of the purview of the WWE. Uh, nonetheless, was super
52:12
influential and he had a few memorable appearances on WWF television. H of course
52:17
I'm talking about Exotic Adrian Street. Well, did you think I was gonna
52:22
talk about somebody else? Actually he let off exactly he actually they let off
52:30
raw with a with a rip Exotic Adrian. Um. He might be saying
52:36
yourself, who the fuck is Exotic Adrian Street? And you know, I'd
52:39
probably have said the same thing a few months ago, but they acknowledged him
52:44
in the crowd back at Cloaks and Castles or whatever hell that pay per view
52:49
was called. Um, so I kind of went down a rabbit hole.
52:52
And this guy not so long ago, Uh, super interesting character, very
52:58
underrated, but incredibly incredibly influential. But you know, like I said,
53:02
not really a household name, and part of that is because he's British so
53:07
not American. And he was already in his mid forties by the time the
53:10
Golden Age you know, eighties WWF boom happened. And on top of that,
53:16
he was billed as five to seven, which means he was probably really
53:21
five to five and a half. You know, God damnit. It's a
53:22
little so you know, not really a prototypical nineteen eighties WWF kind of guy,
53:30
but certainly influential. Wow. Still to this day, we're getting influence
53:35
from him. He played kind of like an androgynous, feminine kind of character.
53:39
He wore face paint and sequence, and he kind of pranced around the
53:44
ring. He did a lot of building off of you know, what Gorgeous
53:46
George did in the decade before him. And while he never ever, you
53:52
know, came out and said I'm gay the character, not the not the
53:57
man, but you know, it was certainly implied. Uh. You know,
54:00
he's famous for escaping uh you know, wrestling holes by kissing his appoint
54:06
his opponent or kind of otherwise feeling him up. Does that remind you of
54:09
anybody? It should. One of his nicknames was the most colorful man in
54:15
wrestling, even in black and white. I mean, this guy started in
54:16
the fifties. But another one of his nicknames was the Sadest in sequence,
54:22
because this guy was a fucking ass kicker, and that was kind of the
54:27
kind of the gimmick where he would come out and you know, everybody thinks,
54:30
oh, this little sissy guy and then he just beats the balls off
54:32
of you. Um. You know, he was really a perfect example of
54:37
kind of that British catches catch can wrestling, Uh, you know, made
54:40
famous more in the States by you know, you're Stephen Regals and your fifth
54:45
Finlay's uh and today you know with Gunther or Shamus and Drew gold Dust.
54:52
Of course. Uh, it's the most obvious person that comes to mind.
54:57
And if you remember Rico Rico, basically he stole uh Adrian Streets entire gimmick.
55:02
But I mean even you look at Sean Michaels, he certainly uh had
55:07
a flamboyance about him. Uh. Um, it was just it was just
55:13
on dark side of the ring. Adorable or Adrian Donnas also kind of stole
55:19
from this guy. Um. He had a valet named Miss Linda, who
55:23
he would um who ended up was actually his real life wife. Uh.
55:29
But he never hesitated to belittle her, to yell at her the user as
55:32
a human shield. Um. But she always stood by her man, you
55:37
know. And that should remind you of somebody too. Oh yeah. Um,
55:44
so a lot of guys uh really took a lot from um from Exotic
55:50
Adrian Street. Um, I lost my place. Oh. He was one
55:55
of the first guys I could find anyway that saying his own theme music.
56:00
We're still seeing that to this day. He had a band called The Pile
56:05
Drivers, they actually released an album, they had music videos, remember music
56:12
videos. He was in a few movies. But yeah, it's just a
56:17
guy who was super duper ahead of his time, super influential. You know,
56:22
we're still feeling his influence and kind of like I said about Superstar Billy
56:25
Graham a couple of weeks ago, you know, he might not have been
56:29
your favorite wrestler, but he was probably your favorite wrestlers favorite wrestler, And
56:35
I would encourage you if you're interested. There's a little twenty minute documentary about
56:38
him on the network called Adrian Street Imagine what I Could do to you,
56:43
And it's worth checking out. It's a quick little watch and very interesting,
56:45
very interesting guy, and his influence will still be with us, I think
56:51
for years to come. Okay, we also lost somebody else today, well
57:00
yesterday, but uh pee wee Hermann. You know, I know he's like
57:06
you said, he was basically stealing the thunder. Uh yeah, um,
57:13
you know he was a guy. He was back in the in the raw
57:15
guest host days. Yeah, he had a he had a segment with the
57:21
Rocket I think Brestlmania twenty nine. I want to say so, Yeah,
57:24
he was he was certainly on on WWVIE television A couple of times. I
57:30
remember a big show dressing up like his his cousin or something like that.
57:36
German. Uh yeah, he died at seventy I want to say cancer.
57:42
Um so yeah, I mean I went be surprised that they and ducked him
57:45
in the Hall of Fame as well. Uh. Currently, right now on
57:52
Monday Night Raw, we are seeing yeah again the Viking Raiders against Uh yeah,
58:00
I think it's a women. I think it's a women folks, just
58:02
women. Yeah, magazine and Valhalla. I swear it doesn't fall glass.
58:10
She smells funny. Her feet are dirty as shit, I can tell you
58:14
that. Yeah right, Yeah. I like walking around out, you know,
58:22
like around the house. I walk around outside of my property, like
58:24
in the grass in my yard at barefoot. But I don't think i'd want
58:28
to like walk around the ring and like out and like I've worked at arenas
58:34
and like they're just dirty shit. Like I don't know, you're not fighting
58:37
anyone, Like why, I don't know understand why, Like why don't people
58:40
just step on their feet, you know exactly? Like why hasn't that happened
58:45
to Matt Rule yet? Matt Solo. I think it's a barefoot guy.
58:50
Yeah, rusself used to be used to be. Yeah, just like step
58:53
on that day, somebody thought to attack the feet. Let's not overlook what
58:58
go Through did at uh the last pay per view. A very true,
59:02
very very true. That man thought that he would try went after that foot,
59:07
and we will try to fight him off and go through beat, deliver
59:09
shit out that man's foot. I would expect nothing else from the rings around.
59:15
I'll tell you what you know. If you would tell me that they
59:19
were gonna put Maxine dupri in a singlet, I won't think putting a woman
59:24
in a singlet be very attractive. But god damn, she pulls it off.
59:30
She pulls off the Alpha very well. I'm not gonna lie. I
59:35
kind of like her being part of the Alpha academy. I thought I thought
59:38
she was gonna be the one to break them up, and I'm kind of
59:42
glad she she didn't. She just joined their group. But this view set
59:49
has to Speet's gotta be over. I'm sick and tired of it. This
59:52
is like another one where you have just two tag teams, not even like
59:58
caring about the title and just feeding with each other. You know, it's
1:00:01
just come on, like, let's get some tag team real tag team feeds
1:00:07
going like that. These these aren't going to go anywhere. It doesn't matter
1:00:12
who wins. You guys aren't going for the tag titles. What the fuck?
1:00:17
No? But if somebody comes out on top, this could position them
1:00:22
too. Yeah, that's what I contend for the tag titles. I mean,
1:00:28
you know, this is a reef where I was, go ahead,
1:00:35
both these teams are former champions and they're not. Yeah, I believe so
1:00:43
yeah, yeah, I mean, so it shouldn't take too much. I
1:00:45
mean, this is the kind of thing you would do to get them back
1:00:47
in the title picture. Yeah. I just recently I dusted off an old
1:00:54
paper view. My girlfriend has never seen wrestling during COVID um and I was
1:01:00
we were talking about the money in the Bank match, and I was like,
1:01:04
huh, let me show you what wrestling looked like during COVID times.
1:01:08
It was awful. But if there's one thing I could take away from it
1:01:13
besides the cinemac matches, was the money in the Bank ladder match at Titan
1:01:17
Tower. And uh, it's funny going back into watching those matches and I
1:01:23
had to explain to her that at one point, yes, Otis was on
1:01:29
top of the world he was the Money in the Bank briefcase holder. He
1:01:32
was also dating Nandy Rose. That motherfucker was on top of the World Tower.
1:01:39
Do you guys remember that shit? That was still in my phase where
1:01:44
I kind of wouldn't really watch him twenty I want to say, um,
1:01:50
yeah, I give I gave him up on it during the pandemic, but
1:01:53
I definitely went back and watched those those ladder matches, those Money in the
1:01:58
Bank matches. They were wonder Yeah, yeah, it was great. Yeah.
1:02:02
They did the men's and the women's at the same time, and you
1:02:07
know, I was just like, what the fuck do you mean You're gonna
1:02:09
put the belts on the roof of Titan Tower? Yea, And they were,
1:02:15
Yeah, they put the ring on the top of the building, and
1:02:17
then they had these guys start from the ground floor and it seemed like Oscar
1:02:23
was the only smart one to take an elevator, but she did. I
1:02:25
don't think she took it all the way up, um, But they all
1:02:30
they eventually, you know, they had some cameos and you know, they
1:02:34
did foreshadow, like very early on AJ styles and the Undertaker for WrestleMania.
1:02:38
I thought that was pretty cool. Um. But you know, if you
1:02:45
haven't, if there's anything takeaway from COVID wrestling in the Thunderdome and all that
1:02:51
garbage, it's that the money in the bank ladder match, it's definitely a
1:02:55
must see. It's it's entertaining as hell. Um. You know, I
1:03:04
can't stress enough how awful at that time was and and you guys are I'm
1:03:07
so glad you guys have to suffer through that because I went through it every
1:03:10
week. And the no crowd was so awkward. You know, Drew McIntyre
1:03:16
when his first w W title with no crowd was awkward as shit. Um.
1:03:22
And and then when we got the Thunderdome was awkward as hell. When
1:03:25
we got the fake pumped in crowds was awful, and it seemed like that's
1:03:30
the only thing they kept after the Thunderdome was the fake pumped in crowd sounds.
1:03:34
Yeah. Do you remember, Um, there was a women's match and
1:03:37
it went to commercial and then the so like they were doing it in the
1:03:42
performance center with nobody there, and they stopped rattling during the during the commercial
1:03:47
break, and they somehow footage of that leaked and then they started and they
1:03:52
went to the other side of the ring and pretended to start going again,
1:03:54
and they came back from commercial. Man, you got I mean, why
1:04:00
would you keep wrestling during the commercial if there's nobody there? It makes sense,
1:04:04
I know, right, Yeah, save your energy. Uh looks like
1:04:10
you've got the Judgment Day coming up next on Raw after the commercial break.
1:04:15
Yeah, yeah, coming upon it. Which side note cutting back to that
1:04:19
last match that they had on Raw with Maxine Dupris and Valhalla. Props to
1:04:26
Maxine Dupris. She actually had she got to win in a pretty creative way
1:04:30
with uh Valhalla trying to hit a move on the top. I guess I
1:04:33
think Maxxine Dupris slipped underneath and picked Valhalla up on her shoulders and walked to
1:04:38
the middle of the ring backwards and just fell back with her but dropped back
1:04:43
into a bridge position and got the pin that way. It was actually a
1:04:46
pretty nice little creative finish from her. So got out to her for that
1:04:51
and then otherwise forgettable match. Yeah yeah, Well, uh, let's get
1:05:00
to Detroit. Yeah, let's move on to uh Summer Slam here, so
1:05:10
oh Yes, let's talk about Summer Slam. I mean Detroit, Michigan on
1:05:15
August fifth, twenty twenty three, right after the NXT Great American Bash and
1:05:20
right before Payback. Yeah back quote unquote in the States for the first time
1:05:28
since WrestleMania for a pay per view. Oh shit, yeah we are.
1:05:31
It's fucking time. Yeah, it's the thirty sixth edition of Summer Slam,
1:05:40
returned to August. It was in July last year. Yeah, first time
1:05:45
ward Field since WrestleMania twenty three back in at seven, and the first SummerSlam
1:05:50
in Michigan since nineteen ninety three when it was at the Palace at Auburn Hills.
1:05:58
Sorry, those are all my stuff. Slam back guy. This is
1:06:02
He's the the snapple of our the snapple cap of our podcast. This motherfucker's
1:06:09
information full. We have, uh you know what? Oh a question for
1:06:16
you? You gotta chrive you a question for us? Yes, sir,
1:06:20
oh man, Well you know do we need? Oh? I thought we
1:06:26
were gonna get a bumper there, pupper, here you go. What was
1:06:30
Cody Rhodes last? Oh? Fuck? If I know it's weird, I'm
1:06:41
sure it is, And I have no idea what it was. I have
1:06:47
no idea because against the randywer Nepple and Stephen of Mill versus King Eric.
1:07:00
Yeah, oh shit, I remember that when the Green Arrow appeared. You
1:07:08
know what's funny is he looks like on the show, he's like, you
1:07:12
know, he's pretty, he's in great shape, but like when you see
1:07:15
him compared to like a WWE superstar, he looks so small. Oh yeah,
1:07:20
um oh wait. That's when he started us, wasn't it. Yeah?
1:07:24
Yeah, King, it was King Barrett and starred us when it came
1:07:29
God damn. Yeah. One an awful team. I got one for you.
1:07:32
Who oh, here we go. Who has made actually is tied?
1:07:36
Who has made the most Summer Slam appearances? Summer Slam appearances? It's a
1:07:46
time between Randy Orton and Undertaker. Son of a Bitch? Yeah yeah,
1:07:53
sixteen sixteen Yeah, I've seen the picture online. John Cena trails them with
1:08:00
fifteen man has some bathroom trivia I found this might be. Are you going
1:08:08
to I got a lot of time in my hands. Awesome, Okay,
1:08:16
yeah yeah, So there's eight matches here. I'm just gonna go off.
1:08:20
How I see him here in Wikipedia. I'm gonna go backwards. Wait on,
1:08:25
there's a well chit chat here backstage through Tomasa Champa and shinsk Hakama.
1:08:30
This, I swear to guy, I haven't on mute with some subtitles,
1:08:33
but this looks exactly like last week. Right, Hey, you come to
1:08:41
this drink, just stay out of my way and we won't have a problem.
1:08:45
Blah blah blah blah blah. Shin Skan is like okay, and he
1:08:48
does it anyway right, So like it seems like exactly yeah, do you
1:08:56
guys? It's so hard to have a direction with the feud when you don't
1:09:00
know which one's the face and which one's to heal, and if you don't
1:09:02
have something planned out beforehand. So right now they're just two guys who just
1:09:06
have a conflict with each other. Yep. And Choppa is seemingly a face
1:09:12
right now because the crowd has scene has been cheering for him consistently. Shinska
1:09:16
Knockamore was a face for a while and was getting pushed pretty strongly. And
1:09:21
I don't know if maybe they're contemplating turning him heal because the face push maybe
1:09:27
didn't work out as well as they thought, But who knows. But for
1:09:32
now I don't mind. This is another few. It's a good way to,
1:09:39
you know, utilize some guys as opposed to them just doing nothing with
1:09:43
them. I'm gonna I'm gonna nothing. I really like this lighting effect they've
1:09:47
been doing with the Judgment day with their shadows on the floor of the ring.
1:09:53
You're seeing this, Yeah, the blue or black light which means their
1:09:56
shuttles up white. Looks great. Oh I'm playing in the background this promo
1:10:01
um while while we're watching. I don't know if it's too loud for you
1:10:04
guys. That is that perfect. I don't hear it at all. Okay,
1:10:14
at least hear the MIC's not picking it up and I got the volume
1:10:16
down on my TV. Oh yeah, last week I heard Damian priestco Let's
1:10:31
all right, He's like, welcome to the All Rise. Like he really
1:10:40
stumble his words last week. Oh yeah, oops, and let me see,
1:10:46
can you yepe mm hmm it shout out to domon his matchup for the
1:10:55
uh Both American title match in the Great American Batch. That was actually a
1:10:58
pretty good match. Yeah yeah, even though he hated Mommy's hell even you
1:11:05
know what, he needed Mommy's help to win. To retain his title though,
1:11:13
Yeah, I mean judgment. They they're always going to interfere in each
1:11:15
other. But yeah, she damned put Wesley through the table with a rip
1:11:20
tide. Wesley kind of got fucked up at the end of that match now
1:11:24
that I think about it, Like rip ri Ripley put him through a table
1:11:27
with rip tide. Then he got thrown in the ring and got hit with
1:11:32
something else. Yeah, then he caught like he got he damn. I
1:11:42
don't remember all the sequence, but he like he got he said, he
1:11:44
got the rip tide through the table from rear Ripley. He got hit with
1:11:47
the Women's he got hit with the Women's World Championship belt. He got they
1:11:53
knocked down from the top rope with a move and then caught Dobb's frogs play,
1:12:00
which was one of the nicest looking frog splashes I've seen from him in
1:12:02
a good while. Yeah. Yeah, Westley got fucked up pretty good in
1:12:08
that match, but it was a good match. Yeah. You can see
1:12:12
that Dom is slowly but surely getting better in the rain. I think he
1:12:16
still needs to expand his moveset a little bit more and stop relying on,
1:12:21
you know, just doing ray and Eddie's moves. There was some moves of
1:12:26
his own, but he's he's getting better. Um So the first match that
1:12:33
we have here, they announced last week that they will be doing a Summer
1:12:38
Slam Battle Royal. Now, as Adam Pierce was announcing it, I was
1:12:44
standing up in my liver and missed my TV and I kept yelling to the
1:12:47
TV for what for? What? What is it for? Is it just?
1:12:56
Like? What is it for? Is it for a title? Is
1:13:00
it for? Like? What what is it for? Just just because it's
1:13:05
for one thing and one thing only? Yeah, exactly to put La Knight
1:13:12
on Stummer Slam and give him a win because he's over as fuck right now.
1:13:15
Yeah, Because when I heard that they were announcing this Battle Royal,
1:13:19
I was like, there's only one man, one man only, who needs
1:13:24
to win this match, and that man is La Night. This man needs
1:13:33
to win this Battle Royal, and I you're not gonna give him the Nice
1:13:38
States title, which I don't understand where this United States title the storyline is
1:13:44
going. I don't know why we got Ray versus Escobar, you know,
1:13:48
I don't. I don't get it. I don't understand why now we're getting
1:13:53
Escobar versus Austin theory. It should be La Knight versus Austin theory. I
1:14:00
don't know if if that's what we're leading to eventually, but why not Summer
1:14:06
Slam. The rumor had been that La Knight was poised for a push after
1:14:12
Summer Slam. I just think he's got so go Fellers. We got some
1:14:15
action, we got some action, catfight rob Riguez that hit the ring,
1:14:19
and she just squared up with Ria putting them. Paul's on the guys here,
1:14:25
I'm gonna refresh her because you guys are seemed like you guys are like
1:14:28
a few seconds ahead of me. Yeah. Well, I think this was
1:14:30
a match that it wasn't going to show, but we were expecting to get
1:14:34
yeah, yeah, to probably be official by the end of the night show.
1:14:36
But yep, yeah, yeah, consider we already got eight matches.
1:14:42
You know, we thought we were gonna get twelve. Uh but I mean
1:14:47
all eight matches were exactly what we thought they'd be, So no surprises there.
1:14:53
But there's a couple I guess we're not going to get. I guess
1:14:55
we're not going to get La Night versus Uh Austin theory. We're not going
1:14:59
to get it tag match, tag title match. Yeah, but I mean
1:15:03
we I mean, Becky, Um, Trish isn't official yet, I don't
1:15:08
think and I'm suspectable get to that this evening exactly. That's not McCard either
1:15:13
right now. Um, you know, anyway, what were we talking about,
1:15:15
Elia Knight? Yeah, it's such a war gone conclusion that he's gonna
1:15:20
win that I'm kind of hesitant to pick him to win, but I mean
1:15:25
there's really no other choice. I think the guy is just so fucking over
1:15:29
and got over so much faster and bigger and better than they ever expected.
1:15:33
Uh. I think that that. I think they're just shooting and just because
1:15:38
like, oh fuck, we we have something planning for this guy, but
1:15:41
not yet. We got to give him something, you know, because he
1:15:43
hasn't. He's amazingly done all this without really doing a hell of a lot.
1:15:48
Yeah. Yeah, And I think the player, because he didn't win
1:15:53
the money in the bank. Uh, he didn't win this cocta US title
1:15:57
tournament. Uh, you know, they kind of need to throw him some
1:16:00
kind of a bone here. It looks you know. Um, Yeah,
1:16:05
I mean it's just I think that they they're kind of like we have something
1:16:10
for him, just not yet, and we got to do all this other
1:16:12
stuff first, but we have to throw him out there. I think they're
1:16:15
kind of if he doesn't, If they don't do something with him soon,
1:16:19
I'm afraid they're gonna lose them. You know. I thought we might lose
1:16:21
him to goofballiness, but now I'm afraid that this momentum won't stay unless,
1:16:30
you know, unless I feel like for every you know, we forced them,
1:16:32
if we as a fan base have forced their hand a couple times successfully,
1:16:36
you know, like see him punking Daniel Brian maybe, but like for
1:16:40
every one of them, there's a roof step and a Czaro and even a
1:16:43
fan Dango was over as fuck for a while. I remember that and Zach
1:16:46
right or in these people that get themselves over and the crowd is super into
1:16:49
and I don't want to fucking do anything with them, and then it eventually
1:16:53
goes away and then they go work for you know, on the indies or
1:16:56
whatever. So hopefully this is the beginning of something major. Yeah. If
1:17:02
it isn't, I'm afraid he's going to be kicking rocks back the impact before
1:17:06
long. Yeah, I think the WW is fully aware that of just how
1:17:12
over he is, and I think they plan on taking advantage of it.
1:17:15
I just think they may have already had plans in place for the US title,
1:17:19
because it's been rumored for or talked about for a while that the WW
1:17:24
wants to have a Latino champion. Yeah, so I believe that this was
1:17:30
probably the things. Yeah, So the thing with Santo Sescabar was probably already
1:17:38
something they were planning for a while. And let's not forget that the LWO
1:17:41
was pretty over as well in addition to La Knight. They've been pretty over
1:17:45
as well and moving some merch since uh since they've been reformed. So putting
1:17:53
a title on at least one of those members, which for the one that's
1:17:55
gotten the most you know, ring time aside from Ray, has probably been
1:18:00
in Santos Escobar. So these are probably things, like I said, that
1:18:02
were already in place, and they more likely didn't want to completely throw that
1:18:10
stuff away just because, oh crap, here comes La Knight. He's over
1:18:15
his ship, so let's, you know, cancel all the plans we already
1:18:17
had and immediately jump on this guy. Like, I don't think they were
1:18:20
ready to make I don't think Triph was ready to make that pivot so quickly
1:18:25
and so immediately. I think he feels like he has time with La Knight
1:18:28
to do other things with and he can put them in other feuds and still
1:18:31
let allow him to get over and eventually put a title on him, because
1:18:36
I think because he doesn't just because he's over his hell right now, doesn't
1:18:40
mean he immediately has to have a title. They just need to do something
1:18:44
with them and have him featured prominently. And maybe they couldn't come up with
1:18:47
something quick enough for a quick enough feud to for any for him for a
1:18:51
SummerSlam, so this is probably their consolation. And it also allows them to
1:18:58
put you know, get some other guys on the car, to get some
1:19:00
other guys in the match, so they can get a check who haven't been
1:19:03
doing much for getting utilized. And well maybe we'll see some surprise returns or
1:19:09
something. Who knows what how this could play out, But I'm pretty sure
1:19:12
that ultimately for something anything, I have a trophy anything. Yeah, yeah,
1:19:18
I mean, I'm pretty but ultimately I believe this is just mostly a
1:19:21
vehicle to feature La Night and have him come out on top. Let him
1:19:27
get a SummerSlam moment and then post Summer Slam, we'll see where he goes.
1:19:31
Yeah. Well, while we're on the subject, they're promoting right now
1:19:41
the next match on the card, Rodda Ralzi versus SHANEA Baslet. They would
1:19:45
discuss this a little bit last It says MMA rules. Did we know that
1:19:49
before? Right now? I was gonna say they didn't have any rules,
1:19:54
But I kind of assume they're gonna have a MMA rules, Which what is
1:19:58
that? Really? You know what? So white, there's no better I'm
1:20:02
about this later. But is it gonna be Viking rules which means there's no
1:20:06
rules, or tribal chief rules which means there's no rules, which means there's
1:20:12
no rules. Probably it just MMA rules, So like, I don't I
1:20:15
don't think they're gonna do like an actual like suit or UFC fight where they're
1:20:19
like they fight in five minute rounds or something like that, although I mean
1:20:25
that probably would be a better and more creative thing for them to do as
1:20:30
opposed to just letting them to have a match like that would probably be a
1:20:36
nice little interesting twist for them to do, like have them do an actual
1:20:41
like you know fight or MMA style fight. For or you know, some
1:20:45
much obviously somewhere choreographed or what have you. But basically like a scripted UFC
1:20:50
type fight at the would probably work out better considering ain't neither one of them
1:20:55
the strongest of wrestlers. Mean, Shannon Basler is better than Rhonda in the
1:20:59
ring, but you know this is there's a way too might help mask their
1:21:05
ring deficiencies. Yeah. Yeah, if you're gonna do that. If you
1:21:14
if you're gonna do that, I say, lean all in with it.
1:21:15
Yeah. I thought having a fight pit again it would be pretty cool because
1:21:18
we haven't seen that since you know, anything with Matt Riddle, and it
1:21:23
seems like it's always Matt Riddle. But like, if you're going to do
1:21:25
it from the women's perspective, this would have been the one to do it
1:21:28
with. Yeah. When that last year Summer Slam, I got the fight
1:21:31
pit, you think, so, No, what was it if it was
1:21:35
a Summer Slam, it was it was Seth Seth and did Yeah they did
1:21:45
it an NXT, I think, Yeah, but we saw it last time
1:21:47
in person. I totally forgot about that. We were there, Yeah,
1:21:54
Jesus, we were drunk. We were there. Uh, you know,
1:22:01
I think Shana Beslo was then come out on top one this one, and
1:22:05
I think Rhonda Rousing is going to go away for a while, and I
1:22:09
think it's the push that Shana Basler needs to be taken serious again. Yeah,
1:22:15
I enjoy the killer Shana Besler, and we haven't seen that for quite
1:22:19
a while really, since she was in the next te um, and fucking
1:22:25
Rhonda just seems like she's been phoned it in this whole last run of hers
1:22:30
ye supposedly again, I welcome that with open arms. I do like Shana
1:22:36
though, so I hope maybe we can recrown the Queen of Spades here and
1:22:43
she can maybe level up into the title picture um and we can maybe hopefully
1:22:47
not see Rhonda again for at least a foreseeable future. Yeah, I mean
1:22:53
that might I will say, going away, well, wow, might not
1:22:57
just be a while, because again, the word is that Da has a
1:23:00
hard outdate on her contract, like or her contract is set to expire,
1:23:04
and rumors that she's not going to renew it, and she has a definitive
1:23:11
final day like this is my last day, and she apparently wanted her final
1:23:15
few to be with Shana Basler, which is why this is happening now,
1:23:19
so we don't know what her last date is. So yeah, so that
1:23:25
you know, there's no telling whether she will actually lose this match and then
1:23:30
be gone and be you know, done, that's it. I'm out by,
1:23:32
or if she wins this match and a few continues before to another match
1:23:39
where Shana eventually gets the wins. I think it all depends on what Rhonda's
1:23:45
final out day is, her hard out day is. I'll probably say this
1:23:49
several times throughout the remainder of the evening, But the next pay per view
1:23:54
is Payback, which would tell me that somebody is going to be looking for
1:23:58
payback. So many we don't know when the outdate round this quote unquote hard
1:24:03
outdate is, so it might not be for another month. They might have
1:24:06
another match that the next pay per view, who knows. I hope not.
1:24:12
I don't ever need to see Ronda again on my television screen. Yeah,
1:24:15
So if I got to make a pick on this match, I'm going
1:24:18
to pick Rhonda just because I don't think this is the one and done match.
1:24:24
I think this view is going to continue past summer slamp, So I
1:24:28
got off to pick Rhonda to win this one. Oh yeah, I picked
1:24:32
Shane, and I hope this is the end of it. But you're You're
1:24:36
probably right, actually, because we seem to need to have a three match
1:24:40
series for every fucking feud anymore. So maybe this is only match one because
1:24:45
we don't know what We know that that hard date exists, but we don't
1:24:48
know what it is. Hopefully we don't need. Hopefully they don't drag it
1:24:54
out to three. I'm hoping we just get two out of this, but
1:24:57
one is plenty. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be mad at just
1:25:01
being a one and done. But now without knowing, I'm gonna error on
1:25:05
the side of caution. Uh. Next match we're going to be seeing Drew
1:25:13
McIntyre versus Gunter or the Intercontinental Championship. And before I even given my answer,
1:25:20
actually, fuck it, it's gonna be Kunter. Uh you know why
1:25:25
because uh Doyle once he's surpassing Honky talk Man. Is it coming up?
1:25:31
Is it gonna be after summer? Slim? Is it gonna have to hold
1:25:34
onto it after summer? Sorry? I have Uh where is it September eighth?
1:25:43
He would pass Honky tonk Man, but payback is September two. Yeah,
1:25:47
so I assume he's gonna hold onto it. They like, there's no
1:25:50
way they came this far for him to lose it to Drew, And like,
1:25:56
you know, honestly, Drew's had multiple chances just recently at WrestleMania,
1:26:00
not recently, but at WrestleMania it was a triple threat, but still he
1:26:03
had a title shot and he lost it, you know, and shavess and
1:26:08
this seemed like a you know, do it again. But I really don't
1:26:14
think that they're gonna let him stop going thious momentum. So I think he's
1:26:19
just gonna keep on going and he's gonna, you know, maybe even hold
1:26:24
it through payback. So oh yeah, without question, going to his breaking
1:26:29
it Honckey Talks rain is going down. Yeah, honestly, let's nobody really
1:26:34
remembers much of anything from a Honky Talks title run anyway. He's just the
1:26:39
guy who holds the record for the longest rain and that's pretty much it.
1:26:44
Going to his title run has been far more eventful and better in every single
1:26:48
way, and we pretty much know what he's gonna He ain't losing shit until
1:26:55
he breaks that record. I think even now he has yet to be penned
1:27:00
or submitted in the w W since he made his roster debut. Yeah,
1:27:09
yeah, I'm pretty sure they've. I' pretty sure they've mentioned that he's yet
1:27:12
to be penned or submitted since making his main roster debut, and Drew ain't
1:27:16
the one to do it at SummerSlam, I'm pretty sure. I'm sure they'll
1:27:20
have a good match. Yeah, that's what Guinter does. Gunter has good
1:27:26
matches. To me, the most interesting thing about Guinter really is what at
1:27:30
what point do the fans start to cheer him, because as of right now,
1:27:36
he is solidly a heel, and as we know is the case with
1:27:42
all great heels, eventually you're so good as a hell that the fans start
1:27:45
to actually like you and appreciate you, and then you become a face.
1:27:49
And despite Gunter and all that he's done and as many great matches as he's
1:27:54
had, that turn hasn't happened yet. So I'm more interested in wondering when
1:27:58
does that turn start to happen for Guilter. Does it happen once he does
1:28:03
it happen once he breaks the record. Do fans start to give him his
1:28:06
flowers then? Or or not? He could, he could just remain a
1:28:11
heel for a very long He's that damn good at it. We're in a
1:28:15
pretty well defined era, you know, where for the most part, heels
1:28:19
are getting booed and faces are getting to it. You know, we don't
1:28:24
have a lot of opposite reaction. We don't have a lot of John Seen
1:28:28
a kind of stuff going on right now, you know. So that to
1:28:30
Gable Stevenson, well yeah, I mean it makes every rule right. Yeah.
1:28:39
If you know, if you're if you're a fan of big meeting men
1:28:42
slapping meat, you're in luck. You know, this is the match for
1:28:45
you. I would expect that, you know, chops will be the order
1:28:48
of the day, and these two were gonna kick the shit out of each
1:28:51
other. Um. I think gunter matches in general, I've kind of become
1:28:57
uh PCW favorites, you know, I think this will probably be one of
1:29:02
our favorites come the wrap up show. But it's kind of like an intersection.
1:29:09
We got an intersection of wrestling logic here, you know, where a
1:29:12
little pickle, if you will, because wrestling logic kind of dictates that the
1:29:15
returning baby Face is going to win his return match. But wrestling logic also
1:29:20
dictates that, you know, as Dray said, as Wayne Is said as
1:29:24
well, And I think we have been saying for months, there's no way
1:29:27
they're gonna bring him this close to that record without him breaking it, right,
1:29:31
So seemingly something would have to give here. Yeah, I just don't
1:29:35
think they will come this far without doing it. I don't think Honky Tongue
1:29:41
Man is like a particularly problematic person to my knowledge anyway. I don't,
1:29:45
you know, he's not out there doing bad things, you know, Like
1:29:51
he's not somebody like Chris ben Walk. We got to get him out of
1:29:54
the record books, and we got to do it now. Obviously he's had
1:29:57
this record for thirty plus years. Um, you know, but I think
1:30:00
I think there's a little more cachet to longest reigning Intercontinental champion of all time
1:30:05
as opposed to the longest reigning Intercontinental champion of the modern era. You know,
1:30:12
So, what's the solution the longest reigning Icy champion in the last thirty
1:30:16
years? Like, yeah, right, you don't hit the same right,
1:30:20
So you know, what's what's the solution here? I think Drew is probably
1:30:25
gonna win, but by d Q or count out so the Gunther can retain
1:30:30
um. And you know, wrestling logic would also dictate that the second match
1:30:35
at the next pay per view, which is payback, presumably somebody's gonna want
1:30:40
payback. But like I said before, he breaks the record on the eighth,
1:30:44
I believe ties it on the seventh, breaks it on the eighth,
1:30:46
and the next pay per views on the second. So he's still gonna beat
1:30:50
somebody again. Uh so, And then I don't know, you know,
1:30:57
we we've talked at nauseum. I think about who's gonna beat him, and
1:31:00
I don't know that we've ever come up with a great candidate. No,
1:31:03
nope. Well, if Biggie's coming back, you know, I don't know.
1:31:06
I still love the idea of surprise Biggie return to come back and take
1:31:12
the title. I think that would be awesome, but I'm not sure how
1:31:15
realistic that is. Yeah, we still have no timetable for a Biggie return,
1:31:19
So yeah, there's no telling when that's gonna happen. As much as
1:31:23
we all kind of have that itch for it, it's yeah, there's no
1:31:27
timetable there. And another thing with the to the Gunter, he is it
1:31:31
in the unique position of being probably the only active wrestler who can say I
1:31:39
am the longest reigning filling the blank of all time, like those three words
1:31:46
of all time kind of means something, especially when you're the only one who
1:31:50
can see it, because for as long as reign that Roman is at,
1:31:54
he can't say of all time. He still has hope. He still has
1:31:58
Hogan and Sam Martino run to break to get to that point, and he
1:32:02
probably ain't breaking at Bruno San Martino and I don't think he's gonna Probably don't
1:32:06
think he's gonna break the Hogan run either. But they've got the same problem
1:32:11
with Bianca too. They call her the I was gonna say next. Yeah,
1:32:15
Bianca has longest reigning of the modern era. She can't do the all
1:32:19
time thing either, because you got right though, those old reigns that just
1:32:27
are never going to be broken. So but with the Intercontinental title, that
1:32:31
being a modern title, yeah, space for you to have for somebody to
1:32:36
hit that run and say that, yeah, I am the longest reigning Intercontinental
1:32:42
Champion of all time. That's probably the only belt on the roster, the
1:32:46
only major belt on the roster that somebody can make a run at. That
1:32:51
type of claim. I don't even think that is possible for the tag team
1:32:56
titles. Hello, I mean, if you want to be really technical,
1:33:01
neither of these tag team titles have lineage back to the old game titles.
1:33:05
Any Yeah, about just what I said, the history as those fuckers have,
1:33:13
Isn't that the fucking truth? Uh? Yeah? Anything else you guys
1:33:17
would add about this match, Nope, Gunther's winning, Drew's going down.
1:33:21
It should be a good match, heavy, hard hitting. Drew's chess is
1:33:27
gonna be red as fucking purple afterwards. Yeah, I expect a great match
1:33:31
and men just me just slapping me mm hmm. I wonder if it's gonna
1:33:38
be harder hitting than the Carmelo Hayes dragging off match though, because again I
1:33:42
know I've mentioned it before in that show, but fucking dragging off looked like
1:33:45
a goddamn NXT Gunther in that match he was lighting Carmelo Hayes's chest of Carmelo
1:33:53
chess. Carmelo's chest was right and purple at the end of that match.
1:33:58
People are always trying to fantasy came into imperium. I know I was one
1:34:02
of them. Yeah, I mean, after watching that match, I kind
1:34:05
of see it. Hey, I kind of see it. And they've been
1:34:10
doing this little mentorship thing with main roster guys, people like taking a liking
1:34:15
towards certain um n XT stars and stuff like that. I wouldn't be surprised
1:34:23
if maybe at some point, you know, going Through shows up on n
1:34:28
XT at some point, maybe talking to him like, hey, Man or
1:34:31
Street, you know we've been love watching You may like you might be a
1:34:34
prime candidate, but uh, I'm gonna need you to get this dub over,
1:34:38
Carmelo bro, get your shit right, and then maybe Bobby Lashly pops
1:34:44
up, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, John on the other side
1:34:47
of Carmelo Mae. That leaves into something on the main roster, although that
1:34:53
probably wouldn't happen because going Through is raw and and so yeah, I mean,
1:35:02
I know it doesn't really matter, yeah, actually being smacked down,
1:35:06
But I mean that could be some interesting little crossover, that could be some
1:35:11
some multi level storytelling. Some guys you know already ap Princess a n XTR
1:35:16
beef in, so that leads to us beefing on the main roster. Yep,
1:35:20
last weeks the guy to think I see title off of uh going through
1:35:25
its own point. Yeah, you got plenty of time to build these two
1:35:28
factions up, you know, if Lashley is putting a fashion like that together
1:35:31
and then you know there's always Survivor series. So right now we currently have
1:35:39
Shitskin Knockamore versus Thomasa Champa. Uh, you know, after Champa lost clean
1:35:45
last week to Bronson to read which, by the way, I thought that
1:35:48
was a pretty decent match last week. You know, uh, pretty impressive
1:35:54
some of the things that Thomasa Chappa could do with like lifting Bronson read up,
1:35:59
like the way he Oh yeah, it wasn't good match shit because he
1:36:01
was he's a small guy. Uh. Speaking of people who look like they
1:36:06
smell ronson reed, Oh oh yeah he does. He looks like he uh
1:36:13
yeah, it has this nasty smell. Right. He's one of those guys
1:36:16
who either or he's either or either he either he has that smell like you
1:36:23
didn't hit all the parts of your body in the shower as thoroughly as you
1:36:27
should have. Or he's one of those guys who smells immaculate because he's like
1:36:30
a cologne junkie or something like that, and he takes his hygiene, like
1:36:35
absolutely seriously, and make sure it's never miss I'm never miss a spot,
1:36:42
never nothing for sure. He never leaves the house without smelling great. See
1:36:45
he's either or goodness. Two weeks somebody to smell him two weeks in a
1:36:51
row. Champa loses. Come on, like this guy tights there. Yeah,
1:37:02
I thought Bronson reading my interfere in this match somehow, but I guess
1:37:05
not. I guess he guys. He's awkward. He's watching backstage in an
1:37:09
awkward angle, you know, like television said it in a soup. Yeah,
1:37:24
don't still dress cleans. That's the thing. He always dresses clean and
1:37:28
street clothes. And that's what makes me think he might be one of them
1:37:30
guys who's like his cologne game is all point. Yeah, but he is
1:37:34
so ill fitting, like his buttons on his jacket looked like they're clinging on
1:37:39
for dear life, you know, like yeah, I mean the ring attire
1:37:43
is one thing, but his regular fit and street clothes, it's clean,
1:37:47
Like his jacket ain't like you know what I'm saying, struggling or size or
1:37:53
two too small, or his button up where it's like, you know,
1:37:56
he cleans up nice. I'm inclined to believe that he takes care of himself
1:38:01
hygienically. Well, like I said, somebody's gonna have to get close to
1:38:05
him and smell. That's the only way to settle this. Not it,
1:38:14
I'll dap him up in shriek clothes. Yeah, about to slapdad greasy ass
1:38:19
backing out while in the middle of a match. Uh. Of course,
1:38:27
if you didn't see SmackDown, they're they're yeah, yeah, um, you
1:38:34
know, of course they got a recap the Roman reins JA so storyline that's
1:38:43
going on. Let let's let's we'll go back to the next match. I
1:38:45
have listened here, but well, let's move want to that match. You
1:38:49
know, this whole bloodline breaking up, you know, I mean the story
1:38:56
of the century, I guess right. Uh, Jimmy, is it going
1:39:00
to be involved at all? It looks like it's just gonna be Jay main
1:39:03
event, Jay Usso versus Uh. You know, Roman reigns for a tribal
1:39:10
combat for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the recognition of tribal chief. He
1:39:17
will get to wear the Chili peppers around his neck. You know, that's
1:39:23
what it's all about about. The peppers. I think, like I said,
1:39:27
I said it before and I'll say it again. I think the losers
1:39:29
should have to eat them, eat them all right there alive on air?
1:39:34
Uh not? Peppers are seeds? Keep telling me. Yeah, yeah,
1:39:40
there you go, seeds. It might be slicy, I don't know,
1:39:42
but they're not. Just still eat them. Uh try how joy? What's
1:39:47
your favorite tribal combat match that you've seen in the past. Um, I'm
1:39:56
gonna say the one that happens this Saturday. Yeah, don't, don't.
1:40:00
What's your favorite full combat match. I'm sure you have a long list of
1:40:03
them. Hard to pick? Yeah, right, well, well didn't didn't.
1:40:09
Wasn't there one in one of the Past and Furious movies? Wasn't there?
1:40:13
Was that a tribal combat match? Oh? Hows with Shaw? I
1:40:16
don't know, I never I've never seen any of them. I just know
1:40:18
Roman Rains is in one of them, in a grass skirt or something.
1:40:25
Yeah, he's in a house with Shaw. Yeah, I guess that would
1:40:29
be it. Uh. I expect, like, I don't know, like
1:40:34
I expect the ring to be dressed up. I you know, like,
1:40:39
let's see some I don't know, some some trees some fake trees. I
1:40:45
guess coconut there, two man. Yeah, I don't really none of that.
1:40:51
Don't do none of that, do not make them. Yeah yeah,
1:40:57
tribal combat like so basically make a mockery it is. We just spent that
1:41:01
time shipping on the Viking rules match made dressed a ring up like a freaking
1:41:06
Viking ship. Now, this thing has been pure drama and excellent storytelling,
1:41:13
and we're not about to sit here and make a mockery of it by trying
1:41:15
to dress up the ring to make it look like some sort of island campfire
1:41:18
type scene. Like. No, it's gonna be a regular match in a
1:41:21
ring. Oh god, I clicked on tribal Combat and it took me to
1:41:30
hardcore based variation matches. So it took me to I'll just list off a
1:41:38
few that I see here. Piranha deathmatch, a razor deathmatch, a spike
1:41:45
nail death match, a nail hell deathmatch, straight fight, and nail hell.
1:41:56
Is that what you said? Yeah? In the l a nail held
1:42:01
deathmatch is a match where some boards with nails were hung on the ring ropes
1:42:05
all the way across and onto opposing sides of the ring. There was a
1:42:10
board on one side, there were nails. On the other side, there
1:42:13
were barbed wire. Only one match was like this done. It was December
1:42:15
in nineteen ninety four by IW eight in Japan. I was gonna say,
1:42:20
it has to be jap that's gotta be Japanese. Yeah, that's gotta be
1:42:24
Jeffanese. Miracle on thirty fourth Street match which I've seen, trick or Street
1:42:30
Fight, Thumbtack Deathmatch, Barefoot Thumbtack Death Match, Thumbtack Balloon Match, Unlucky
1:42:45
thirteen match, It just goes on and on. Light Tube match, Monster
1:42:53
Ball Match, Texas Deathmatch, Last Man Slash Woman Standing Match, Good old
1:42:59
Fashion Donnie Brook Match. Oh Yes, four Corners of Pain match, Sadistic
1:43:06
Madness Match, Doomsday Chamber of Blood match, pulls well on a ball match,
1:43:13
pulls a Fuckery death Match. Oh what the fuck? It pulls A
1:43:18
fuckery death match is similar to a four Corners of Pain match. I have
1:43:23
to refer to that only the harmful items in each corner are small plastic are
1:43:29
in small plastic pools. This match originated in the independent wrestling promotion Asylum Wrestling
1:43:35
Revolution, where Mickey Knuckles faced Akira in this match of March twenty twenty one.
1:43:45
Hey, they interrupt you, but we have Rock Lesner now, yes,
1:43:48
yes, yes, yes, uh yeah. For the record, I
1:43:53
think Roman Range is gonna come out on top of this match. I really
1:43:59
don't see Jake you so you know, winning this match. Yeah, no,
1:44:05
I agree. More than likely Roman's gonna stay come out on top because
1:44:11
I think we are all under the belief that Roman still isn't dropping the title
1:44:15
anytime soon. As much as the IWC and other folks out there think have
1:44:20
been saying for the longest day, this thing started with Jay. It has
1:44:25
with Jay. Jay needs to be the one to finally take down Roman.
1:44:28
Yeah. That all sounds well and good until it runs in the face of
1:44:31
actual business. And the actual business is Roman is your champ, in the
1:44:39
face of your company, and he ain't dropping that title at anything short of
1:44:45
WrestleMania period. So yeah, he's gonna win. Although I will say,
1:44:50
if they wanted to take this Bloodline feud in a new direction, having Jay
1:44:57
win the title would not necessarily be he a bad idea. I think it
1:45:01
would be an actual interesting new chapter in the Bloodline if Jay became the champion
1:45:10
and the tribal chief, and then Roman had to forcibly be subservient to Jay,
1:45:15
and then we got to see maybe Jay, I mean not Jay,
1:45:17
but Roman seek to undermine him from the inside and between like him, and
1:45:25
if him and Paul somehow work to undermine Jay as tribal chief and just you
1:45:33
know, play the play the submissive guy until the right time where he strikes
1:45:39
and up ends him and regains his title as tribal chief and regains the undisputed
1:45:45
title. Where you can then and then because at least if you do that,
1:45:50
then you take away the streak and he gets the title back, and
1:45:54
then you can easily have him drop it to Cody at Russellmania. Basically just
1:46:00
be the uh he could get the title back in a new reign, basically
1:46:03
essentially be a transitional champion until Wrestle Mayne, where he would drop the title
1:46:08
to Cody m Can you can you hear that? Trey? Absolutely? Okay,
1:46:15
Sorry, so I didn't know if you could hear tonight. I want
1:46:18
to do um, just just play this brocklist of promo. But we will
1:46:24
get back to our prediction here in a second Champion of the World. See
1:46:30
if he actually has anything interesting to say. And if there's one thing I
1:46:36
know about championships is that this is fight weeks over. This Saturday at SummerSlam
1:46:54
in Detroit, alex cowboy hat I get paid to fight to kick ass against
1:47:15
Tody Rhodes. This Saturday at Summer Slam, Cody Rhodes gets paid to get
1:47:30
his ass kicked by Brocklos moved beside the cowboy hats. I'd say an eleven
1:47:41
gallon, not the normal ten gallon. I think it's gonna be fucking huge,
1:47:46
right right, Yeah, he's got the he's got the vest on.
1:47:50
Don't see him at the vest often. If you want to come out here,
1:47:56
m he probably killed the animal himself. I'll respect that. Come out
1:48:01
here, look me, deadly eyes, shake my hand and I'll see you
1:48:06
Saturday. Fuck that I ain't shaking. Procless his hand. He's gonna beat
1:48:11
my ass. I'll see your Saturday. So you got about five seconds before
1:48:18
I leave this town. Five hit the music. I mean, you know
1:48:32
this is what the rubber match here, the third the third match that they're
1:48:36
having it. So you guys really think that Cody's gonna finally go over?
1:48:44
I do? I mean, it's it's I thought that all alone, this
1:48:50
is playing feud is played out was exactly how I thought it would pretty much.
1:48:59
It's nice finishes. We're gonna be a little bit clear. Rodes whoa.
1:49:11
I can't like how much prior that guy gets. I'm not complaining it.
1:49:14
I love it. This dress took fight. But look at property.
1:49:21
He took off his leather vest. He's ready to whoop some ass. It's
1:49:25
gonna get physical, you know. He't guys shake his hand. He's gonna
1:49:29
shake your hand and then break it. By the way, Cody's now selling
1:49:31
that arm injury he got last week. Think more. Cody almost cautiously suckling
1:49:41
the rain. You don't have to do this, Cody. That is the
1:49:47
most decorated athlete he called bat sports history. Who just called you out?
1:49:57
I'm not sure who that would be, but I have f even it is
1:50:00
not him. Yeah, I agree. Is it one of the graces?
1:50:04
They're probably they're probably they're probably named Gracie whatever. I don't know if I
1:50:10
tell him that though, uh yeah, yeah, not to his face.
1:50:15
Let's say that. I don't think brock lesseners listen to a podcast. I
1:50:26
should have done this earlier where I can play the promos on the podcast live,
1:50:30
but I had the wrong audio output, like a fool, shake his
1:50:39
hand, do it? Do it? It's all hesitant. I would want
1:50:44
to shake his hand. Uh, it's gonna take the hat off. You
1:50:49
don't need to take your hat off to shake somebody's hand unless you're gonna hand
1:50:55
out an ask woman, h cool Rock lesson great White Shark. He's the
1:51:15
Great White Shark of the w WE. We don't word. He's whispering to
1:51:24
him, Oh, the shoulder and shove. Rock walks out of the ring,
1:51:35
forgets his best Cody, what are you doing? Oh no, don't
1:51:43
damage the hat. Don't damage the hat. Yeah, Cody assaulting Rock.
1:51:50
Don't think it's gonna go very well. You gotta you know, sometimes I
1:51:55
think it's better to keep these guys separated until you pay per view. But
1:51:59
now Cody has potential getting injured again. Yeah, but hard times. This
1:52:04
is a case of lessons more. It would have been better had they just
1:52:09
shook hands and walked off right. Uh. If I find that lessons more
1:52:14
is almost always the case with Brock. It is because you know, last
1:52:20
last week or the week before, you know, Cody got f fired from
1:52:24
his mom got in the moor loogued. We've seen his arm get busting.
1:52:29
You know, it's I want to see you go into this match on Cody.
1:52:34
Okay, yeah, they they're setting it up. They're setting it up
1:52:39
for the superhero when now, which to me, this doesn't need like he's
1:52:44
so beaten down, how can he possibly overcome the monster minus brock Lestner.
1:52:49
Yeah, and it's obviously we anta know he's going to somehow triumph and come
1:52:55
out on top. Is the hero. It's like they could have just shook
1:52:59
hands and walked off Sea Sunday and let's get it on m Man and this
1:53:03
they do stuff like this is when it becomes hokey. Well, looks like
1:53:10
brox has continues to walk away and then come back and attack Cody again.
1:53:13
Anyway, because this music hit a few times, then it stops and then
1:53:16
hits and it's up. The guy in the truck's like, what the fuck?
1:53:20
Doy, who do you think it's gonna come out of this match?
1:53:23
You think we're finally it. I mean, you definitely think Cody's gonna come
1:53:26
out of the winner of this match. Over all the downs he's been taken,
1:53:30
this being the rubber match, yans here. Um you know, well,
1:53:38
well let's get back to this when we were discussing Roman and Jay usso
1:53:41
here, umy, what's your opinion on Roman and and main event jay Ussou?
1:53:47
Do you think Roman's gonna take a pin here or do you think the
1:53:51
streak is going to continue? Oh? I think there's really only one question
1:53:57
with this match, but I will get to that. Um. I think
1:54:00
it would be fun. It'll start slow and deliberate, like they matches always
1:54:04
do. They'll probably just stare at each other for five minutes to start,
1:54:10
you know, but eventually you'll pick up. I think the question here though,
1:54:15
is who do you think is going to turn on who? Because I
1:54:18
think we're gonna get a heavy duty does to drama with this one. I
1:54:23
think so too. Yeah, I mean, assuming we don't see Jimmy on
1:54:27
Friday night, I would absolutely expect him to pop up here. But I'm
1:54:31
not sure the jim that Jimmy having Jay's back is a foregone conclusion. Yeah.
1:54:39
Likewise, I'm not sure that we can say that Solo is definitely on
1:54:42
roman side either. You know, he's kind of been eyeing up that red
1:54:45
hot chili pepper necklace. You know a little bit. I kind of wouldn't
1:54:51
be shocked if Solo turns on Roman, but I also wouldn't be shocked if
1:54:56
Jimmy turns on Jay. Yeah, you know, And you know I've I've
1:55:00
said, and I think we're kind of all in agreement. I'm a I'm
1:55:02
a Cody Roman at WrestleMania forty Truther, Um, you know. Uh,
1:55:09
And I imagine again at Payback, somebody's gonna want payback. Uh. Maybe
1:55:14
that's Jay Uzo wants payback against Jimmy. Maybe Solo wants payback against Roman for
1:55:18
Trump whatever. I don't know, but yeah, I mean I think I
1:55:21
think Roman leaves with the title, uh and Jimmy at his side. Do
1:55:30
you think Jimmy turns on Jay and Jay's left on an island by himself at
1:55:33
the end of this, I think Solo turns on Roman. I think there's
1:55:35
a double switch so that now you can do Roman and Jimmy versus Jay and
1:55:42
Solo. Up. I said, we're gonna get every possible combination points a
1:55:47
lot to have happened. They gonna track us out until I get back to
1:55:49
Cody somehow. So I think I think we're just gonna see different combinations of
1:55:55
these guys. Well, the only thing that really kind of needs to be
1:55:58
dragged out is Roman in as champ, right, Like that's the thing,
1:56:01
Like the blood Line thing. I mean, I think I think the blood
1:56:06
Line thing is coming to an end. Yeah, sure, I'm not saying
1:56:12
that Summer Sam is going to be the end of the Bloodline storyline. By
1:56:14
no means it's going to continue beyond this. It's just a matter of how
1:56:18
does it continue? Which again, what scenario is the idea that I floated
1:56:24
that Jimmy does actually win and then we go into a new chapter where Jimmy
1:56:29
is the tribal chief and Roman is subservient, and then Roman has a concoctive
1:56:32
way to somehow take down Jimmy get his title back, and then Roman basically
1:56:36
functions as a transitional champion. Yeah, they'll do it again. I don't
1:56:45
think that's gonna happen either, But I don't think it's completely I don't think
1:56:49
I can we can completely roll rule it out just for the simple fact that
1:56:53
yes we do know. Because one it still presents the opportunity to still get
1:56:59
the Roman and Cody WrestleMania forty two, there really isn't much reason for Romans
1:57:08
streak to continue, because he's pretty much submitted himself at number three right now.
1:57:15
The only two he has left the pass are Hogan and Bruno San Martino.
1:57:19
He damned only getting Bruno Martino's two thousands something day rain, And I
1:57:25
don't think any of us think he's gonna get Hogan's fourteen hundred day rained because
1:57:29
that would imply him holding the title for a whole other year from now and
1:57:34
then some And I don't think any of us see Roman having the title four
1:57:40
till the end of twenty twenty four from now, so right, But I
1:57:44
think him losing, when he finally loses, is going to be such a
1:57:47
monumental fucking thing that it's going to have to happen. I mean, I
1:57:51
guess, I guess Summer Slam is the second biggest show of the year,
1:57:55
but I think that just has to happen to Wrestleman. Yeah, Ran from
1:58:00
Monday Night, Rob, Sure, I'm in agreement as well that it probably
1:58:02
does have to happen at WrestleMania, but the second best odds of it to
1:58:06
happen are probably this Saturday at Summer's Lamp. True I mean, I think
1:58:13
we'll see uh Jay Louise, and I think payback will be Roman versus Jimmy
1:58:20
then, and I think he'll just put Jimmy down as well. And it
1:58:23
makes sense for Jimmy to come back and try to get payback at you know,
1:58:29
at the next pay per view. It makes sense. Uh, I
1:58:31
don't know, Like you said, it could go every which way. Every
1:58:35
which way they're gonna they're gonna drain this until there's nothing left, until it's
1:58:40
dry. So um, this will this will, this will definitely get into
1:58:45
the Please just end this category at something like what the hell is this?
1:58:48
That's happening all round? Now? Got going through and Chad Gabel in a
1:58:54
five minute time around the bottom of the screen, Like I guess, Chad
1:58:57
Gabel said he could last five minutes Conter in the ring, so I don't
1:59:01
know if he has to pin him in five minutes or just last five minutes.
1:59:05
But you know, I actually I don't think we've seen this match before.
1:59:10
I mean, I know Chad Gable's not gonna win, but Chad Gabele
1:59:13
can fucking put on a good match, right. I meant this happened before,
1:59:17
No, but this is somewhat reminiscent of Kurt Angele's a little five minute
1:59:21
challenges he used to have back in the day, except obviously Kurt angel was
1:59:26
the the the antagonists or the top person, the instigator of the challenge.
1:59:34
Yeah, whereas this is Chad Gabel is the underdog to Gonter. So so,
1:59:42
huh you're geting the show we saw? Sorry, are we borring you?
1:59:48
No? No, it's just Monday Night row. Um it does what
1:59:54
it does? You know? It's like small doses at manager l you know,
2:00:00
slowly puts you down, um melotoniin just during during the commercial breaks.
2:00:05
Uh wait, So we kicked off Raw with Logan Paul. I assume because
2:00:11
Logan Paul had to get out of there to go do something else. There
2:00:14
is talking him wanting to have his match first so he can get out of
2:00:19
there and make it to his brother's bossing match. I guess I think,
2:00:25
uh, you knowlessly caffeinated beverage is to fell I gotta get out of here.
2:00:29
Yeah, right, So Logan Paul versus Ricochet. Uh you know,
2:00:34
so if that is the opening match of the night, not the Battle Royal,
2:00:39
I think there should be a dick and just put the right in the
2:00:41
middle. Uh, do you guys see Look, I assume they're gonna put
2:00:45
on a pretty good match. There's some mean, a lot of high five
2:00:47
spots, hopefully no bosches. Uh, probably a couple holy shit moments.
2:00:54
Oh, this is kind of tough. Uh, you know, it could
2:00:57
go either way. Uh. I don't know. I really don't know.
2:01:04
I'd be content with either or, but I guess I see Logan Paul going
2:01:11
over here. If Logan Paul, Logan Paul has not won a single match,
2:01:15
he's head in ww ZY. This is probably prime territory for him to
2:01:23
finally get a w As much as I don't like the guy, they just
2:01:29
there's just no direction really for Ricochet to go. This is really just a
2:01:32
match just because both these guys can perform in the ring, and it's just
2:01:38
to give us highlights and high flying and basically be a spot fest. Yeah,
2:01:43
let me carry on. Yeah, I mean, he ain't had too
2:01:47
many matches. I mean he lost to Roman, he had his Wrestlemanian match
2:01:54
that might have been the one when he got maybe him and miss as the
2:01:57
tag team where they wonted WrestleMania then Missed turned on him. No, he's
2:02:02
pretty much eating pins. Uh he lost against Damian Priest. Uh. Oh
2:02:11
okay, that's the money in the bank match seth Rollins, Cody Rose Roman
2:02:15
Reins. Uh, yeah, that's the Miss. Oh no, no,
2:02:23
no, I think he may have. He and the Miss wanted WrestleMania.
2:02:27
Then he beat the Summer Slam last year, and then he hasn't won anything
2:02:30
since, and then WrestleMania thirty eight, him and the Miss beat Ray and
2:02:33
Dominic. Yeah yeah, okay, so he I mean no notable wins since
2:02:41
he's last year. Oh so he could he could win at Summer Slam this
2:02:47
year and be uh the next mister Summer Slam. Yeah, and I think
2:02:51
that's probably gonna happen to happen. He's gonna get the win, and it
2:02:56
is what it is. He finally gets it, dub he gets the gloat
2:02:59
and celebrate because again, I don't know that Ricochet winning does anything for Ricochet,
2:03:03
because I don't see them pushing Ricochet anywhere anytime soon this match, even
2:03:11
though, if anything, if you were gonna do anything with Ricochet, this
2:03:14
feud could have been the catalyst or could have been the start of doing something
2:03:18
with Riccchet had they booked it better, and had they given Ricochet basically a
2:03:26
script writer and have somebody write his promos for him, because Ricochet being excuse
2:03:31
me, being left to his own devices on the mic is just a recipe
2:03:35
for a disaster. And that's what it's been throughout this Faul feud. That
2:03:40
man just cannot cut a promo for shit. Man, if he had somebody
2:03:45
who could have, you know, told him what to say in the ring,
2:03:49
like look, this is it, here it is, here's the script,
2:03:51
memorize it, go out there and deliver it with something. Though,
2:03:57
then maybe he could be something, because, like I said, this is
2:04:00
the kind of few where you could have established some sort of character for Ricochet,
2:04:04
Like if I was booking it, if I was writing it, then
2:04:10
I would have had Ricochet rather than just saying that, you know what,
2:04:15
the nonsensical stuff he's been saying to Ricochet, I mean to Logan Paul.
2:04:20
I would have had him spell out to Logan Paul that there's a difference between
2:04:28
you and I. You're a guy who just shows up here, which is
2:04:30
kind of what he's been saying, but he's been saying it ineffectively. He
2:04:34
could have said to some effect like you show up. You're a guy who
2:04:39
can come in here, do a couple of nice moves here and there,
2:04:44
look good. But me, I do this. I'm an artist in this
2:04:48
ring. This ring is my canvas. You might be able to hit one
2:04:54
or two moves and look nice, but you cannot perform like how I perform
2:05:00
in this ring. You cannot match me in this ring in a performance.
2:05:03
And that's really what this should have been about. This should have been about
2:05:06
the guy who can have, you know, a nice spot here and there
2:05:11
in a match, versus the guy who can actually perform night in and night
2:05:15
out. And it's been putting it doing has a catalog full of spots.
2:05:21
And if you'd have built up Ricochet it's like as that, then maybe maybe
2:05:27
you could have actually started to get a little kindling of some sort of flame
2:05:31
and Ricochet as a character, to give him some sort of identity that people
2:05:36
can latch onto of terms of what this guy is. People already pretty much
2:05:41
look at him as the guy who hits all the cool spots, lean into
2:05:45
it and help use that to help define his character. And then maybe once
2:05:49
his character has some definition, then people can actually have a reason to give
2:05:54
a shit about him other than looking for the next cool spot that he does.
2:05:59
But they didn't do that. So there's just gonna be a match with
2:06:01
a whole about of cute, a little cool looking spots, and Logan Paul
2:06:05
is probably gonna win. I'm gonna say the exact same Dray Drade yet,
2:06:13
except I'm gonna say it a little different, well, almost the exact same
2:06:17
thing, because I'm a little more. I think I've been downright effusive in
2:06:23
my praise of Logan Paul's wrestling character. I think, you know, this
2:06:28
kind of vibe of you know, I don't really need to do this,
2:06:30
but I'm really good at it now I do it. You know, I
2:06:32
think that's great. His in ring work is light year is better than has
2:06:35
any right to be. You know, of course, he has benefited greatly
2:06:40
from working with the best there is. You know, he's basically got Shawn
2:06:43
Michael's holding his hand throughout his match prep when he's only you know, he
2:06:46
only has to worry about one match at a time every couple of months.
2:06:50
Really, you know. Ricochet, in the other hand, is phenomenal in
2:06:55
the ring as well, much more so, I would say, but unfortunately
2:06:59
much of what makes a professional wrestler great happens outside of it. And though
2:07:03
he has improved on the mic, Dre said, I know, I just
2:07:06
don't think he's ever gonna raise higher than secondary title can tend to, you
2:07:11
know, at least in the WWE. He could probably be a man of
2:07:15
ventnor in any other company. And he just doesn't really have a character in
2:07:19
this match, doesn't really have a whole lot of juice. You know.
2:07:23
That whole thing steps from a couple of spots, which I'll be it,
2:07:26
we're memorable ones and we're cool, but you know that's hardly the stuff great
2:07:30
feuds are made of. So yeah, I mean, I expect to see
2:07:33
something spectacular here in terms of holy shit chant inducing kind of spots, but
2:07:41
I'm not expecting you know, savage steamboat here. It just seems like a
2:07:45
way to get Logan Paul a pay per view win, you know, after
2:07:48
not winning to Rumble and then losing the seth of Wresslemania and failing to win
2:07:53
money in the bank. And it's a spot to put ricochet in like a
2:07:57
high profile match against a big star and hopefully also look good in the process.
2:08:03
Uh, you know, I think this will be a fun little romp.
2:08:05
But I mean, I think I think Logan Paul gets back in the
2:08:09
win column. Yeah, and then we probably may maybe Ricochet is one of
2:08:13
the people looking for payback next month, um, but probably more likely we
2:08:20
Logan Paul goes away again until the Survivor series, but who knows. But
2:08:24
yeah, I think I think Logan Paul gets the dub. All right,
2:08:31
lost as hellos? What's going on with this chat Gable Gun through a situation?
2:08:35
Yeah, timers, we can't. Yeah, the time was going and
2:08:37
now they're having a match, So like did they have a did Chat Gable
2:08:41
have like a five minute qualifier where like, well he showed that he could
2:08:45
last five minutes with gun through that he actually gets a match? Yeah,
2:08:48
And then I guess was like the match isn't technically over yet, like you
2:08:52
know, start the cock again. They're like, no, we're not gonna
2:08:54
start the goddamn clock. Just just fucking wrestling tonight. I guess now he's
2:08:58
just gonna try to prove wrong and who crossed arm uh and then I guess
2:09:03
just put him out. That's what thing. It seems to make sense to
2:09:07
me, Like if he proved he could last five minutes of the ring would
2:09:09
go through. Then he gets an actual match, and I guess he lasted
2:09:13
five minutes, So all right, now we'll have a match. Ye Holy
2:09:18
fucking German Jesus. Oh, I think this will be one of those that
2:09:24
you know, the underdog almost wins but then doesn't. Oh, of course
2:09:28
he's absolutely not winning the match with I mean, I mean, you know,
2:09:33
they tried to do that a lot, and not every performer I think
2:09:35
can fill that role. But I think Chad Gable absolutely is believable in that
2:09:39
super plex. Oh my god, Chad Gabele given a good to the super
2:09:45
plex off the top rope. YEA. Gable is so primed for a good
2:09:52
strong singles run. Yeah yeah, When when are they going to pull that
2:09:56
trigger and give him that run? I love that Academy man. I mean
2:10:01
I'm not saying I'm not saying outside of Alpha Cammy, I'm saying within Alpha
2:10:03
Academy. But they need to be something more than just a comedy act at
2:10:07
some point. At some point they need to get like an actual serious push,
2:10:11
whether it's as a team or just chat as an individual. As the
2:10:15
leader of the group. I think I think he's primed for that. Yeah,
2:10:22
that's that, that backhand, and certainly his dudes, I'll fucking say
2:10:26
he has. He's been around for quite some time. I mean he was.
2:10:31
He lives through that shorty g bullshit. Oh my god. Yeah that's
2:10:35
a slow German. He does it so yeah, and no, it's not
2:10:43
all about the speed. It's not all speed. Oh, big boots in
2:10:48
the face. He gets right back up, doesn't sell it. Clothesline one
2:10:52
two oh, and he kicks out. Oh my god. Chats lasting,
2:11:03
Yes, last, pretty longcas Guinter. Not many people can last this song.
2:11:07
Tries to roll him up. Oh my god, Oh you can't get
2:11:09
it, Wendy. He rolled him up, and the he went to go
2:11:16
do his Germans. Two plus, he's just a little bit too big.
2:11:18
So Gunter has him by the wrist. He's back chopping him across the chest.
2:11:24
It puts him out with these fucking chops. Oh my god, power
2:11:30
bombs him one two three. Chad Gable is finished. But he put a
2:11:37
hell of a fucking matchup. People are booing him, booing him. You
2:11:46
can't not boo the ring genera. You absolutely can't. He's a heel.
2:11:54
I know, I know he's a hell, God damn it. I mean
2:12:00
he looked at he was a little winded, and he tried to do that
2:12:01
at other Germans supplex. But yeah, you're right though, when he does
2:12:05
it slow, it's there's something about it. You know a lot of guys
2:12:07
doing really quickly. Kurt Angle would do him very quickly. You know,
2:12:13
people even do them quickly or they do the release one where they just throw
2:12:16
him. Yeah, bron Lesner does the release where he just tosses you across
2:12:20
the fucking ring. But I just think there's just an art to it,
2:12:24
the way he just does it nice and slow. Yeah, dude, that's
2:12:26
look at how look at how easily or not easily, but look at how
2:12:30
deliberately I'm lifting this guy that looks like he's twice my size. Right,
2:12:37
starting up here, I'm celebrated about success. You drew music, right,
2:12:50
I'm will not close the answer concidental chap here, Sure drew back tire whoever
2:13:00
you are. Now, that's as looking. But I pitched to that mad
2:13:05
that's the fare that I want as well. Go sa I'm gonna end Drewe
2:13:13
McIntyre, what's a fall at Summer's Land? All Racing Drew No, Drew.
2:13:26
Yeah, game in the night off. I guess they say, don't
2:13:28
really need to come out last week. Oh, they came out. They
2:13:31
want face to face some of the us we Drew put him to a table.
2:13:35
Yeah, I'm not even filming something. It might be even though movies
2:13:41
aren't supposed to be filming right now. But I think I heard that he
2:13:46
was had a bit part in something. Well, that's that's just sagging here
2:13:52
in the States. He could be filming something for you know, somebody,
2:13:56
some other overseas. Yeah. Production also mean he's if he's never really been
2:14:03
in anything, he might not even be inside anyway. That's too. I
2:14:09
don't know how all that ship works. I'm not gonna pretend idea. Yeah,
2:14:11
we we have Becky Lynch coming out. She looks fantastic, fantastic.
2:14:22
You like I'm skinny, huh Oh, I'm no Piper Nevin fan, but
2:14:28
you gushed over Becky Lynch and vaccine tonight. Yeah, but she just looks
2:14:35
good at out of it. I mean, maybe it's but I don't know,
2:14:39
maybe it's the hell what La Laurel Laura. I'm not saying, but
2:14:54
we about to sit here at like she got curves. Look here here it
2:14:56
is the birthplace of America where you always remind there it is Doyle, and
2:15:05
then there's Philly Tough. Next day the knockout punch is come and that God
2:15:20
just choice to use Philadelphia Eagles colors as opposed to like seventy sixers or the
2:15:26
Live I think they probably have the best national brand of the four. Yeah,
2:15:33
I mean, plus is at the link where the Eagles play. Yeah,
2:15:37
yeah, I heard tickets go on sale in the eighteenth that's correct.
2:15:43
How much money I have to save a lot, arm or leg? Yeah,
2:15:50
depending on where you want to sit, absolutely, Yeah, you know
2:15:54
what. They're like, I've seen plenty of football games there. Uh really
2:15:58
isn't a bad seat in the house. I mean like, I feel like
2:16:03
you're gonna get a good spot regardless where you sit, as long as you're
2:16:05
not like, oh, I don't know. Yeah, I mean we've done
2:16:11
that before, right, Doyle. The Nosebleeds and Wells Fargo are totally different
2:16:18
than the you know what though, Like, I honestly I didn't mind sitting
2:16:24
Nosebleeds at the Walls Fargo, except one fucking thing was the lights. The
2:16:30
lights in your face. Yeah, my only real complaint because like it's really
2:16:35
not that far away. No, you're not far Yeah, you're not that
2:16:39
far away that it's a bad seat. It's just say we were in like
2:16:41
the we were in the eighth or ninth row of the upper decks, so
2:16:46
that wasn't like we were in a back bag brow. I've sat in the
2:16:48
back back row of that building a couple of times. I like it for
2:16:52
hockey games because it's usually a Bruins flyers game and I'm in a Bruins T
2:16:56
shirt. And I like it because there's no way and there's no one behind
2:16:58
me to throw a beer at me, which I like. Very true podcast
2:17:03
listener Dave that we've had on here. I mean, Dave went to a
2:17:07
shore where we're all the way, we were all the way in the back
2:17:09
lad or I think it was the last one we went to. Our backs
2:17:11
were literally against the back of the building, and um, I was content
2:17:16
with it. It's just that the lights in your fucking face, Like you
2:17:22
don't need to put lights on the the entire audience, you know we're here,
2:17:26
don't fucking blind me, Like it was ridiculous. H It was only
2:17:33
my only complaint about that, so I don't feel like they'll be doing that
2:17:35
for restum, although I feel like to make an early WrestleMania prediction about complaints.
2:17:43
It's gonna be cold as fuck. Fuck yeah it is. Yeah it
2:17:48
is, dude. I've gone there for football when it's been extremely cold and
2:17:52
like freezing my ass. Yeah, it's not gonna be negative ten cold,
2:17:56
but you know, yeah, what is it April? Yeah, yeah,
2:18:03
it'll be at the very beginning of spring. So very beginning of spring is
2:18:09
still kind of still cold at night, so you know, I'll just be
2:18:13
wearing multiple WWE shirts that I can swap throughout the night. Forbid is raining
2:18:18
that day? Yeah, that would suck, right, Just how would they
2:18:26
even get Samoa Joe out there and a punch out? Yeah, you know,
2:18:33
while we're at a commercial breakcre uh Samoa Joe, Like we talk everything
2:18:37
wrestling, you know, samo Joe, he's in Twisted Metal on Peacock.
2:18:41
Has anybody got a chance to watch Twisted Metal on Peacock? Nope? I'll
2:18:46
tell you what. Me. Being a big fan of the game playing when
2:18:50
I was a little kid, I was super excited to hear that samo Joe
2:18:54
was going to be in it. He was playing sweet tooth. I don't
2:18:58
think he really hasn't speaking line. I just think he's just a body.
2:19:01
Uh but yeah, he's even got like a helmet on of something kind of
2:19:07
Yeah. No, he's just the body. Somebody else does the voice of
2:19:09
ye, but he did a good job. I blew through the entire season
2:19:16
in one day because I liked it that much. I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
2:19:22
So like there's any like ninety kids out there who play Twisted Metal, Um,
2:19:28
I guarantee you'll fucking love this show. Um, if you if,
2:19:33
if you like what was that one movie with something similar was a Deathmatch where
2:19:39
death death Race something similar to Death Race, something similar to Death Race.
2:19:46
But the comedy in it works so well for me, so I totally recommend
2:19:50
it. Uh Yeah, samo Joe did pretty good in it. I never
2:19:56
thought I see Samoa Joe in something of this high caliber of a show,
2:20:01
but I hope we see him in season two. And Anthony Mackie I don't
2:20:09
normally find him funny, but I found him fucking hilarious this season Twist the
2:20:15
Metal, So give it a watch. Outside of the Avengers movies, I
2:20:18
have not liked him and anything I've ever seen him. Eight Mile, I
2:20:26
don't. I don't remember eight Mile. It was never like one of my
2:20:30
favorite I don't like eminem so I haven't. I've only seen eight Mile maybe
2:20:35
a twice. Cody Rhodes interview. Here we go to ask, will you
2:20:39
be able to compete this Saturday at SummerSlam? Break my arm again, to
2:20:48
break my ribs, to break my jaw. The brutality that brock Lesner has
2:20:52
brought to me at SummerSlam, I bring to him at SummerSlam. The aura
2:20:56
didn't be wrong with a long drawn out Cody was from him, shattered m
2:21:01
M list at all. Then we got Becky list in the ring, still
2:21:09
just standing there waiting. You can you can talk, Becky, but hold
2:21:13
up Cody first. Cody first? Yeah, yeah, because so let me
2:21:20
get this right, if Becky loses against she has to get a tattoo on
2:21:26
her chest or something like that. A tattoo on her speaking a dump stipulation
2:21:31
that pretty much confirms that she's gonna win. I did hear that they were
2:21:37
trying to throw the idea of having her head shaved now right? We had
2:21:46
I don't think that, oh, I don't think that was recent. I
2:21:48
don't know if that was pertaining to this match, but I did hear the
2:21:52
story that at some point they proposed that to her. I got the impression
2:21:56
from what I heard of the story there was something in the past. There
2:21:58
was there was a feud in a Becky feud where somebody cut her hair.
2:22:03
I think, right, wasn't there her hair a little bit? I got
2:22:11
the impression that was something from the past. And then Becky just shot it
2:22:13
down like, no, I'm not cutting my hair. Yeah, I bet
2:22:18
that was probably it, Like, okay, can you cut a little to
2:22:20
do? But do what I pull Molly and shave my head here And I
2:22:28
can't think a better time than now. Yeah, so come on out here,
2:22:35
Patricia, Patricia whoa. I have never heard anybody call her Patricia.
2:22:45
Serious? That that was mom voice, Becky, you broke out the government.
2:22:50
Come on now, that seems a little less attractive. That's we know
2:22:58
that it's not going to happen. You're going to fight at Summer Slam.
2:23:03
All the Patricia is listening. Just switch us off. Thanks a lot,
2:23:05
Wayne, right now. But then I thought, you don't get to tell
2:23:13
me when I do. She putting makeup on her nose because I'm think her
2:23:18
nose is still broken. No, no, the mask is going to come
2:23:24
off and it's on the mask or something. Yeah, rematch, but I
2:23:30
will tell you when. Okay, some in the background, Yeah, cheats
2:23:37
you out of your rematch. How it is, the one thing I'm not
2:23:41
is a cheater. Liar, liar astros cometown sports team. That's a great
2:23:48
way local hometown sports teams. That's fired. It's true though the lot thought,
2:23:58
Oh you didn't like I'm so sorry. It must be fun though,
2:24:01
to be a heal right, you do what wrest are saying, they enjoyed
2:24:07
being heal more than a face because yeah, heal just shipping on everybody.
2:24:11
I'm dealing with a little situation here. So this pretty much as this will
2:24:22
happen Saturday, that's how, being her last week, I know you said
2:24:30
that and it happened so pro of your grammy, Adam Pierces. Any interesting
2:24:33
is going to happen. Oh, this betch is gonna happen to my out
2:24:41
here tres tratus, and it will be Bucky Lynch and it will be right
2:24:48
now. But my nose, oa paris, I'm not very sure she required
2:25:03
to where that medical apple just we should have seen this coming, given that
2:25:05
trips come out in wrestling attire medical medical something. I expect something's going to
2:25:16
happen where they have to have every fight again something slam maybe not, Oh
2:25:22
yeah, maybe this match of some slam right, Emma never minds Zoe Start
2:25:28
came in interferre does ze com we accidentally stomp on trips? When she jumped
2:25:33
in the ring, like, sure she accidentally do? I was like,
2:25:39
that's the quickest turn I've ever seen, right, I was like, oh
2:25:45
shit, okay, so let's see I never winding, and yes, she
2:25:52
sure did. Okay, so I wouldn't see who else? Always? Yeah,
2:26:03
what are out of that? I can't see? Let me see.
2:26:03
I don't know. They look like pama or something hasn't been rung yet.
2:26:11
I think they're just the rest, just letting this happen. Yeah, it's
2:26:18
been like an immediate DQ somethings. So we hopped in the ring. I
2:26:24
think Trish has some marks on her. Look at Samantha Urban. Now that's
2:26:33
somebody worth oogland over. Oh well, of course I couldn't agree more definitely,
2:26:41
So we start. That's what damn sure, but you know I might.
2:26:45
I mean, hey, I'm on to Hey man, you're on the
2:26:50
island with her. Good for you. I mean I think it's starts cute.
2:26:54
That's just me. I just look, got the mark on her nose.
2:27:00
Wipe off the schmutz. Of course. Now we'll have to have this
2:27:05
at Summer Slap. Yeah. I bet he's gonna demand it at Summer Slam.
2:27:09
Yeah, that's the whole stipulation on it, or something like no d
2:27:13
Q or something. Yeah, huh. I'm still really surprised that we haven't
2:27:20
seen Lee to get involved in this in any way, shape or form,
2:27:24
to try to get like you get back, that's so true. It's been
2:27:26
a long time. Oh look, there's an ad for Twisted Metal now streaming
2:27:31
on Peacock. Hey, that guy we fired into the show. We're gonna
2:27:33
watch it. Where a coinkit inc? I know, yeah, of course,
2:27:39
Joe, I wish you would. I it's such a goddamn shame,
2:27:43
like he only held one title in the de w dewe in that was the
2:27:46
United States, and it's further a short run, Like I cannot believe they
2:27:50
never put the WWE title on that man. I can't believe it's Vince.
2:27:56
I can believe it. Yeah, they stuck him out in the rain and
2:27:58
a poncho. Of course they don't like he's Samoa Joe, but he ain't
2:28:03
on the y Samoa. That man was so good on the mic. You
2:28:07
know, I remember, do you guys remember his feud with brock Lessner?
2:28:15
Really that Okay? I was really excited uh when he when that feud was
2:28:22
coming up, because I was like, oh, man, like there they
2:28:24
might put him over uh and have him beat Brock And they didn't, of
2:28:28
course, But I mean, the the promos were so good. I mean
2:28:33
I could just literally sit here all day and just watch Samoa Joe promos because
2:28:37
they're they're just that fucking good. I could watch a loop of Samoa Joe
2:28:41
just walking away while somebody's trying to dive at him off the top o that
2:28:46
exists. There are ls on YouTube. It's so fucking funny. Uh if
2:28:52
you find it. It was posted on our discord. Oh yeah, definitely
2:28:56
think um. But I am going to take a quick bathroom break here.
2:29:01
We got like a little little over thirty minutes left here, but I need
2:29:05
to pee and fill my drink. I am all. Yes sir, yes
2:29:13
sir, I'm just I'm just peppering them in throughout Monday night. Raw.
2:29:16
So let's let's take a break here and we will be right back. Hey,
2:29:28
Lawrence, come in here and see what I did with the money your
2:29:31
dad gave me. Oh my god. He turned to the den in the
2:29:35
pee wee's playhouse. Come minde up, knock off your nipping. It's a
2:29:41
crazy messed up place where and he taking happen. There's a chair that freaking
2:29:46
talks. Hey. Look there's a fish that dave advice. Holy grab it's
2:29:50
growing. And pee, there's playhouse. Watch this, watch this, hey,
2:29:56
jambe okay, say it mecakahi mecahney God, I hate you so much.
2:30:03
Ye know that reparation money should be going to a worthy black charity which
2:30:07
the King of Cartoones won't be here in five minutes. And I will not
2:30:09
have you embarrassed me. Yeah, acting ridiculous word. Okay, and we're
2:30:20
back. We full up our drinks. We uh went to the bathroom.
2:30:24
You know, we did what we had to do. But we are back.
2:30:28
They did announce while we were on break that they we'll be having Trish
2:30:33
versus Becky and Zoe will be barred from ringside. Yeah so, which means
2:30:41
Becky will win because there won't be any interference. Yeah. Yeah, So,
2:30:46
so how we're gonna we're gonna fit that match in here? It's fine.
2:30:48
I keep refreshing the Wikipedia page. I will see how soon somebody adds
2:30:52
it. Right now, still at eight matches. Oh okay, So while
2:30:58
we're waiting there again playing this uh Ronda rousi Shana Basler promo, which I'm
2:31:07
not even gonna put the audio on for it because we're we're waiting past this.
2:31:11
Um, let's talk about the Oscar monsters don't cry? Uh, all
2:31:20
her makeups gonna run. Let's talk about Oscar the ww Women's Champion versus Charlotte
2:31:26
versus Bianca bel Air in a triple threat match. Um, this is odd
2:31:31
because it looks like Oscar is the heel, Charlotte is a face, and
2:31:37
Bianca is a face. UM. I don't see Bianca coming out as champion
2:31:45
getting her title back, even though she had a nice, lengthy title run.
2:31:50
I don't. I don't see it happening. Uh I I kind of
2:31:56
I would assume Osca is gonna retain and continue. You on and maybe help.
2:32:01
Maybe we'll even see him money in the bank cash in. I think
2:32:05
they're saving Oscar versus EO Sky for later. Um. But it wouldn't surprise
2:32:11
me at all if Charlotte won, not at all. Uh, it would
2:32:18
make her a fifteen time I think fifteen time champion. Uh is it needed
2:32:24
right now in her career? Not really? And if she does win it,
2:32:28
why because where is it leading to? Um? But you know Oscar
2:32:33
has never been able to beat Charlotte Flair. But this is a triple threat
2:32:39
and uh yeah, so Dre, what are you thinking for this match?
2:32:46
Let me tell you who the fuck bet not winning this guy? Damn match
2:32:54
that chte she don't need no more title reigns. She damned show don't need
2:33:03
it now. I'm sick of this woman coming back and immediately being in the
2:33:07
title picture. It's so much the point that people are making memes and videos
2:33:11
about that shit now. Like I literally saw a video of like somebody It
2:33:16
wasn't related to wrestling, but they took a regular video and used it as
2:33:20
Charlotte where somebody was like had a bag of chips, and as soon as
2:33:22
they opened up the bag of chips, somebody peered from around the corner like,
2:33:26
yo, you got some chips, and the captioned on it was Charlotte
2:33:30
Flair. Anytime somebody wins a title, the person reacted like, I can't
2:33:33
have nothing around here, Like how much of a trope it's become that,
2:33:37
Oh, we have a new champion, enter Charlotte the challenge and take the
2:33:41
title off of them. No, Charlotte don't need to win shit. My
2:33:46
prediction is that Oscar retains the title. The only interesting one is facting this
2:33:52
is who she pens to retain to me, But I think she's absolutely going
2:33:56
to retain kids again. Bianca just head a lengthy title run. I don't
2:34:01
think they're gonna shorten Oscar have a short run and put it right back on
2:34:05
Bianca. I don't think that's where she's at. Bianca is also at the
2:34:07
point where she kind of doesn't need the title at this point and those and
2:34:16
it kind of sucks because Oscar is the champion and the matches for her title,
2:34:22
but she is very much a third wheel in this match, like she
2:34:26
has nothing to do with this match other than being the champion and the person
2:34:31
that they have to that they're who's built there fighting for the storyline is all
2:34:35
Bianca and Charlotte, So Oscar is gonna win, probably retain her title,
2:34:41
and then we're gonna transition into a Bianca Charlotte feud moving forward, where they
2:34:48
just wrestle each other one on one pissed off because probably one of them cost
2:34:52
the other one the title at Summer slurm, or one of them screwed the
2:34:58
other one over when I almost certainly had it won. Because something tells me
2:35:05
Oscar will win, but she's not gonna get like a clean win. She's
2:35:07
gonna take advantage of what one of them, of what either Charlotte or Bianca
2:35:11
does to the other, and she's gonna steal the win, and that's how
2:35:15
she's gonna get out, which unfortunately isn't gonna do anything for Oscar by winning
2:35:20
that way, right, But that's probably how it's gonna happen, because as
2:35:26
we've seen, the entire focus of this view has been Bianca and Charlotte.
2:35:33
I don't think we're gonna see EO cash in because again, I don't think
2:35:39
it's gonna be that type of match where all three of them are so worn
2:35:41
out and so beat down and Oscar just barely wins by the skin of her
2:35:46
teeth, which primes EO for the cash in to take advantage of it.
2:35:50
I don't think that's gonna be the case, although it could, but I
2:35:52
don't think so, because I mean, at least if EO does cash in
2:36:00
winning, then that sets up an Oscar EO feud as Oscar tries to get
2:36:03
her title back from EO. So then we have two out of this,
2:36:07
We get two prime feuds, Oscar EO and Charlotte Bianca. I just don't
2:36:13
know if they want to do those feuds of both of those high caliber feuds
2:36:18
at the same time apart from a major pay per view, and we still
2:36:24
got some time to go before Survivor series, So they're gonna save at least
2:36:28
one of those, and I think the one they're probably gonna save is the
2:36:31
Oscar EO feud, because I'm pretty sure that Bianca Charlotte feud is going to
2:36:37
continue past SummerSlam. Yeah, uh do Yeah, you know my general dislike
2:36:48
for triple threat matches, notwithstanding you know, you got three of the top
2:36:52
ten best WWE female wrestlers of all time in the ring together, you know,
2:36:58
Yeah, maybe three of the top five, maybe the the top three.
2:37:01
I mean, it depends on how you want to formulate your list.
2:37:05
So but I mean that alone gives us an opportunity for something really special.
2:37:11
But I'm gonna disagree with you a little, Wayne, slightly, because I
2:37:15
don't think the roles are super defined. I mean, I guess Charlotte's the
2:37:18
face, but she's not getting the crazy pops she used to and you know,
2:37:24
she's a flare. Say, you know, there's evil lurking just beneath
2:37:28
the surface, and it's only a matter of time before she's pounding on a
2:37:31
baby face and insulting the crowd. And I guess Oscar has a heel.
2:37:37
She kind of does heal things. I mean, the mist obviously is heel
2:37:39
shit, but she does that when she's a baby face anyway, And she's
2:37:43
not really getting super duper heel heat either. Bianca is still a baby excuse
2:37:50
me, Bianca is still a baby face, but she's you know, she's
2:37:54
not really getting the pops she used to be getting either, And she has
2:37:56
certainly displayed a few shades of dark side over the last few weeks. You
2:38:03
know, I don't think we need to relitigate, you know, will Bionca
2:38:07
turn heel, won't she? Will she join up with whatever Bobby Lashley's doing,
2:38:11
won't she? When we kind of covered that already. But in agreements
2:38:16
with what Drey said, you know, I can't see them putting the belt
2:38:20
right back on Bianca, especially after that lengthy title run. I don't want
2:38:26
to live in a world where Charlotte gets another fucking title reign, especially so
2:38:28
soon after the last one, which I guess leaves me with Oscar retaining,
2:38:35
and I'm perfectly fine with that. I love Oscar, so that's where I'm
2:38:39
gonna go with. I could see Eo Sky failing to cash in due to
2:38:45
Bailey accidentally or maybe accidentally on purpose, uh, scrowing it up for somehow,
2:38:50
But I'm not sure enough that I want to flat out predict that.
2:38:54
But I feel like, one of these days one of these women has to
2:38:58
fail at some point. I think there are seven and zero in cash ins,
2:39:01
so eventually one of these is gonna have to not be successful. Um,
2:39:07
I'm just not sure it's gonna be Eo and I'm not sure it's gonna
2:39:11
be Saturday, But I think Oscar retains. Yeah, that's what I'm going
2:39:15
with in summary, nobody wants to see your Queen Charlotte win that damn Bill
2:39:24
when he's right. But you know what, when if and when she does
2:39:28
win it, I know I'll hear I'll open my door like outside my house,
2:39:35
and I'll hear you screaming. H All right, Well, looks like
2:39:46
on a raw here they are on the I assume this is the main event,
2:39:50
right we have I can't see who we have. We have Sammy's ain
2:39:56
and Seth Rawlin's taken on. Two people from the judgment day I'm assuming probably
2:40:00
Finn and Damian Priest. Yeah, right now they're just running down to Summer
2:40:05
Slam card as we know it. Um yeah, Battle Royale. Do we
2:40:13
have any names announced for this? Nope. I wonder if we were gonna
2:40:16
get a graphic with like competitors other than La Night. Yeah. I kind
2:40:22
of like the mystery though of not knowing everybody who's in it. Yeah,
2:40:28
I mean it'd be night. That mystery only works in like a royal rumble
2:40:31
thing where people are coming out one by one so you can get the reaction
2:40:35
in the pop for it. More than likely what's gonna happen, especially if
2:40:39
the Battle Royale kicks off the pay per view, all the people who don't
2:40:41
matter are already going to be in the ring, and then we're gonna get
2:40:46
like the people who matter get their individual intros, like obviously La Knight,
2:40:52
and maybe like two or three more people. I mean there is always a
2:40:56
surpriser too. It Summer Slam, and I don't know that anybody has really
2:41:01
predicted any of that, uh, but I mean that might be an opportunity
2:41:05
for somebody that we haven't seen for a while to come back. You know,
2:41:09
maybe even if it's just an old Moss or you know, every every
2:41:15
pay per view, who we got, Is this when Mandy's coming back?
2:41:16
But I mean maybe he's in there. Uh. I mean some of Sam's
2:41:20
always good for for for uh. I mean last year it was it was
2:41:24
damage control, right, some says always good for us, some kind of
2:41:30
surprise fries return or something like that. Yeah, this could be when we
2:41:33
get a New Day come back. Sure, yeah, something like that.
2:41:39
Does he like in a Battle Royal topting, that's that's prime for a cofee
2:41:43
returned with the over the top stuff and shenanigans. He likes to pull,
2:41:48
although he said at the although he yes said he thinks he's done with that
2:41:50
because he yeah, watch the last two or three let's trying. YEA.
2:41:54
Also good spot for a guy that's kind of limited a battle royal, you
2:41:58
know, where you don't have to really hell of a lot. Yep.
2:42:03
But just just I'm gonna we still got one more match to go over,
2:42:05
but I'm gonna give you a quick rundown of what we What was last year's
2:42:09
Summer Slam. Uh Bianca Belair defeated Becky Lynch in the singles match for the
2:42:15
WWE Women's Championship. Logan Paul defeated the Miss Bobby Lashly as the United States
2:42:22
Champion, defeated Austin. Theory, Rain, Mastereo and Dominic of STO defeated
2:42:28
the Judgment Day Wow. Pat McBee defeated Happy Corbin, The Ussos defeated The
2:42:35
Street Prophets defended their titles Live Morgan was champion. She defeated Rhonda Rousey where
2:42:46
she actually tapped out yeah and Roman Rains defeated brock Les and in the Last
2:42:52
man Standing match have to ring and everything at ringing side. On top of
2:43:00
yeah Yeah, Since Lesner lost, he could not challenge range for the title
2:43:05
while Rains is champion, but you could challenge Seth Rollins though right done.
2:43:11
That was an uh Nashville, Tennessee last year and the Nissan Stadium tennis record
2:43:18
of forty eighty nine. Um. Okay. So the main event, well,
2:43:24
I don't know if it's going to be the main event of pay per
2:43:26
view. I'm assuming Roman and who's going to have that? But we have
2:43:31
freaking Rollins. You're a world heavyweight champion versus Finn Bala of the judgment day?
2:43:41
Is this where Finn Balor finally wins the world title. I have a
2:43:46
theory, not a Austin theory, but a theory. I did hear that
2:43:52
Seth Rollins has been kind of dealing with there. He's going through some pain,
2:43:56
he says, he he says, you know, maybe I should get
2:44:01
this looked at. Maybe I should get some surgery, take some time off.
2:44:05
I don't know, if it's kind of a hint, maybe like this
2:44:07
is where you know where he could do it. You know, his window
2:44:11
out to take some personal time and get these injuries taken care of, which
2:44:18
you know, my opinion is I would like to see that happen because I
2:44:22
love seth rons and I want to see him around longer. And I hate
2:44:24
when a wrestler is nursing an injury through the run when there's clearly other people
2:44:33
who could take that spot for now. You know, being world champion is
2:44:39
a lot on your shoulders, so it would be nice to see that pressure
2:44:43
off of him, get him healed back up to one hundred percent. Maybe
2:44:46
we'll see him again a Survivor series or even the Rumble, And this would
2:44:52
be right now. Judgment Days is like one of the hottest things next to
2:44:56
the bloodline right now, you know, So having Finn Balord being champion given
2:45:01
him the rightful run that he hasn't had as heavyweight champion in a long time,
2:45:07
long long time. Um you know with you know, I think once
2:45:13
I've setting up his Judgment Day, everybody's holding something, whether it's a title
2:45:18
or a briefcase. So Finn Ballard right now looks like the odd guy out
2:45:22
not holding anything. So you know, him holding the world heavyweight title would
2:45:28
be would be great. It also put a lot of tension probably between him
2:45:35
and Damian Priests holding that briefcase. You know, I'm not saying that he's
2:45:39
going to be the one to cash in. But there's always that what if
2:45:43
you know that what if factor always be looking over your shoulder at any second,
2:45:46
any minute, he could cash in on you. Um So, as
2:45:52
much as I you know, this feud has been going on for quite some
2:45:56
time, as much as I'd like to see Seth Ronalds come out as champion
2:46:00
being again in this case, I would like to see him take some time
2:46:03
off, you know, take a take a clean loss here. And I
2:46:11
don't think it's gonna end up being clean unfortunately. I think it's gonna be
2:46:13
a lot of shenanigans with you know, judgment day, and that's how Finnvaler's
2:46:18
going to get the title on him. But uh, yeah, I think
2:46:22
this could be it. This could be Finnbalor's moment to be a world heavyweight
2:46:28
champion and also hold it more than twenty four hours. Drey, how do
2:46:31
you feel? Yeah, all all logics would seem to point towards Finnvalor winning
2:46:41
because yeah, we've all heard that um Seth Brolins is nursing a number of
2:46:48
ailments and injuries at the moment, and he did mention that, you know,
2:46:52
which led to a lot of speculation that he might be time taking time
2:46:56
off after he revealed what he was dealing with, but then he kind of
2:47:00
backtrack that and said that, you know, I'm here to stay, I'm
2:47:03
here to compete. As long as I can go in the ring, I'm
2:47:05
gonna go. But you know that decision could be taken out of his hands.
2:47:09
You know, if the powers that be in WW say no, you
2:47:13
need to take some time out nurse your injuries. Yeah, you're over as
2:47:18
fucked right now as Champ, but you know you need to take care of
2:47:24
yourself first. You know, I could see that being the thing, But
2:47:28
I could also see w W saying you're one of our top baby faces right
2:47:33
now. We need you, so if you can go, we need you
2:47:37
to go. So, like I said, what you said makes a whole
2:47:43
lot of sense, and I could definitely I think that storyline moving forward is
2:47:48
far more intriguing than Seth retaining the title and just moving on to whoever the
2:47:56
next challenger is and then Judgment Day still trying to have this aura of power
2:48:03
and dominance and this run that they've been on. Because yeah, if Seth
2:48:07
wins and beats Finn Balor, especially if he beats them despite a bunch of
2:48:13
Judgment Day interference and stuff that kind of kills the momentum that they've got going
2:48:18
right now, and they've been on a hell of a run since WrestleMania.
2:48:24
Between Rhea went in the title at WrestleMania and then followed by a Damian Priest
2:48:31
getting the money in the bank briefcase, followed by Dom winning the n ext
2:48:35
North American Title and having a successful defense this past Saturday at Great American Bash.
2:48:41
Yeah, it would seem like the the cap. The final piece of
2:48:45
the puzzle is Finn Balor winning the World Heavyweight title. And yeah, like
2:48:50
what you said, with that internal dynamic between the two of you know,
2:48:54
you're the champ, but your biggest threat exists within your own faction. So
2:49:03
that's what I want to happen. I want Finn Balor to get the win,
2:49:07
whether it's clean or not, whether it's clean or if Judgment Day,
2:49:11
you know, pull Shenanigan so that him he gets to win. I think
2:49:15
that's the outcome that we're gonna get. So yeah, for my money,
2:49:18
I'm gonna go with Finn Balor wins at at SummerSlam. And I don't think
2:49:28
I don't think that finn Balor wins and Damian immediately cashes in on him and
2:49:35
takes the title for himself. I don't think that's gonna happen, although that
2:49:37
could happen. And then, as we've alluded to multiple times in the show,
2:49:41
the next pay per view payback, we could see finn Balor try to
2:49:46
get payback on Damian Priest for you know, stealing his moment. That could
2:49:52
be a thing. But the way Judgment Day is right now, I think
2:49:54
I don't think the split is coming yet, even though they he's enhance it
2:50:01
at it briefly, I don't think they're gonna pull that trigger just yet.
2:50:03
I think there's still some some meat on the bone. Oil. How do
2:50:11
you feel? Yeah, I mean, you know, from the kind of
2:50:15
from the inception of the new Consolation Championship, which I think I picked AJ
2:50:22
to win, by the way, if I remember correctly, UM, I
2:50:24
have kind of thought that the winner wasn't going to hold the title for very
2:50:28
long. And I still feel that way, And in fact, I had
2:50:31
some of the slam circled as a probable place where it would in fact change
2:50:37
hands. Uh, And that's exactly what I expect to happen here. Um.
2:50:41
You know, I was, I was super excited for their last match.
2:50:45
UM, and I was pretty disappointed in it. It wasn't terrible or
2:50:48
anything, but I was just I'm thinking it was going to be, you
2:50:52
know, a four and a quarter four and a half kind of affair,
2:50:54
and it was like a I don't remember when I gave it, but if
2:50:58
I don't think I was than three. Um, and I don't know,
2:51:03
maybe I'm hoping they were. They're saving it for you know, a big
2:51:05
or four pay per view. Uh. You know, I'd be shocked if
2:51:11
there is an a copious amount of Judgment Day interference, you know, especially
2:51:15
from Damian Priest. Um. But I don't think I liked the same same
2:51:20
as m Drey said, I don't think he's gonna cash in successfully or otherwise.
2:51:24
Um. You know, Judgment Day has become one of the hottest acts
2:51:28
in the company. You know. Uh. Somebody in the discord said something
2:51:33
about Raya having really short matches or something, which is a valid criticism.
2:51:35
We've actually already covered that, UM, and my response was like, how
2:51:41
would you how would she have trying to wrestle more than a couple of minutes?
2:51:43
He has four other segments to get ready for and you know, I
2:51:46
was kind of kidding, but um, only a little bit. You know,
2:51:50
these guys are aren't, as we've said, are all over the place.
2:51:52
I'm raw they're coming out three, four or five segments sometimes, um,
2:51:56
you know, and now they're even a part of nxt UM and I
2:52:01
just think there's there's too much story, too much drama to be mined,
2:52:05
uh from you know, for precedentual cash in Um. So I think they're
2:52:09
going to drag it out, um, you know, with the story of
2:52:13
the judgment day kind of being on top of the world. But Finn,
2:52:16
you know, constantly looking over shoulder thinking that you know, you know,
2:52:20
any minute really um, you know, Tammy and my crack and what we've
2:52:26
had with the briefcase and um cash in on them. Uh So yeah,
2:52:31
I think I think, I think, um, I think a little bit
2:52:33
of a sorry. I think Finn goes over for sure how clean it is.
2:52:39
I'm not sure how clean it's going to be. But I did kind
2:52:41
of notice, um that we had uh a title change list show up until
2:52:50
this point. Um last year there were also no title changes, and before
2:52:54
that it hadn't happened since twenty twelve, and I just don't think we're gonna
2:52:58
go two years in a row with out a single title change. And I
2:53:01
think this is the most logical place where I would happen. So for a
2:53:05
multitude of reasons, I'm picking the irishman Finn Valor. Yeah, and we
2:53:13
know and we know how much, uh how Triple H is big on Fin.
2:53:20
This is this, this could be his opportunity, especially with you know,
2:53:24
events laid up at the crib. This is a Triple H's opportunity,
2:53:28
Like Fin, I got you. You got to get that run and to
2:53:33
have like a heel champion, you know, on raw leaves it opened for
2:53:37
a bunch of face wrestlers. You know, it opens up for guys like
2:53:41
Drew McIntyre, you know, um to take another l Yeah, Drew goes
2:53:48
from challenge Cans a couple more times before WrestleMania comes back around. Yeah.
2:53:56
I see the problem with that is like Drew goes from challenging for the IC
2:53:58
title and losing to now challenging for the world title, where he said never
2:54:03
we're gonna lose again. Yeah, I mean, like obviously there's gonna be
2:54:07
a way he's gonna have to earn it, but like, yeah, I
2:54:09
mean, I feel like when he was on for a while, there's something
2:54:16
was promised to him to keep him happy, to keep him staying, And
2:54:20
I don't think losing Nacunther was one of them, right, Maybe, I
2:54:26
mean, maybe they just he'd be featured in you know, prominent programs that
2:54:31
like that is the one issue that would exist with It's a Finn Balor title
2:54:39
reign is one. You now have two heel champions, and you ain't got
2:54:43
that many top baby faces to be challenging. Obviously, bloodline kind of exists
2:54:48
within its own bubble and they're doing their thing right now. But ventially somebody
2:54:52
from the outside is gonna have to challenge Roman again before presumably before Cody challenges
2:54:58
him again, and then I'll ah, he ain't got that many top baby
2:55:01
faces either to challenge Finn in a as a as a world champion, because
2:55:07
you ain't gonna do Cody, because you ain't gonna have Cody lose to him,
2:55:11
and presumably you're saving Cody for Roman next year. Drew Again, Drew
2:55:18
loses a challenge for the Icy title, and his reward for losing is he
2:55:24
now gets the challenge for the world title. That doesn't make logical sense.
2:55:28
But then again, obviously you split, you split Sammy and Kevin up,
2:55:31
you got two viable contenders contenders. Yeah, that's one. Yeah, Sammy,
2:55:37
you could have Sammy saying, uh, become a challenger, especially if
2:55:43
if they lose the world titles and Ko goes on the shelf for an extended
2:55:46
period of times, and yeah, you gotta do something with Sammy. Yeah.
2:55:52
Both secondary champions are also heals, so you would have the four top
2:55:58
champions all be heals. It just kind of interesting. Yeah, I mean,
2:56:03
traditionally, the ww F Slash E has always been a baby face baby
2:56:09
Face champion, you know, and and the NWA Slash WCW was the heel
2:56:13
territory where the baby Face was always chasing. Just kind of funny how the
2:56:18
roles were reversed a little bit. Here, these guys got five minutes left
2:56:24
from the clock to finish this match. Yeah, I mean factor in the
2:56:28
women. The women's titles are held by heels as well. Yeah right right,
2:56:33
heel's just everywhere running. Baby Face is taken ls left and right,
2:56:43
and they got they got less than five minutes, but I always I always
2:56:46
find it cool how they can make so much happen within five minutes. You
2:56:50
know. It's like even when I was younger and I would be watching wrestling,
2:56:54
It's like I would watch it all the way up to the very last
2:56:56
minute because you never knew what was going to happen. Just back when wrestling
2:57:01
was really good, you know, us to one of the ruthless aggression era.
2:57:03
Add to there, you know you have five minutes left from the clock.
2:57:07
You know what they do. But now it's like it's not as exciting
2:57:13
as it's gonna have the run over. You never knew how long in the
2:57:18
run over the last floor. Now you know, you know they're out at
2:57:20
eleven o'clock and at ten to fifty nine. Yeah. So when I was
2:57:26
younger, I didn't have cable, so I used to have to go watch
2:57:28
Monday Night Raw with my buddies house down the street. And my parents were
2:57:31
always like, oh, like eleven ten, eleven fifteen, we're locking the
2:57:35
doors, like you better be home. So, uh, you know,
2:57:39
I'd always be watching, you know, Monday Night Raw, and it'd be
2:57:41
just winding down to like the last minute. I'm like, oh my god,
2:57:46
like hurry up, I gotta get the fuck home. Evinced me,
2:57:50
like, not tonight, We're gonna go over five more minutes, you know,
2:57:54
and they paid a lot of money too to go over. Um.
2:57:58
I remember there wasn't like any other TV show. Law and Order wasn't like
2:58:01
we're gonna go or five more minutes like you were not. I think out
2:58:09
of like all the years I've been watching wrestling, right, I've never watched
2:58:11
a full episode of Law and Order, but I think I have all the
2:58:15
five minutes or so that I've watched of Law and Order. Probably maybe I've
2:58:20
watched like two hours of Law and Order over the past decade. I mean
2:58:26
funny, because I think the only thing I've ever watched more than professional wrestling
2:58:31
is yeah, yeah, And you remember just talking about this before the podcast
2:58:37
started. Is like, you know, the bad guy is always the guest
2:58:41
of the show, you know, or or the person that wasn't a star
2:58:48
then but is now like, oh it's Bradley Cooper. He's he done it.
2:58:54
Yeah, he's the killer, the young Bradley Cooper, come on.
2:59:00
Super Kick. Super Kick over the years has been so fucking overdone. Yeah,
2:59:07
so overdone. That was a really bad one. Yeah, that one
2:59:11
was weak. He didn't get all of it, as they like to say,
2:59:16
Yeah, it didn't get all of it. Yeah, why of shanadigans?
2:59:20
Sammy's ain't taking out dominic hysteria. And then there's real how dare you
2:59:24
hit my dumb dumb out of so Rio's got the balls to put an NXT
2:59:35
person to a table, but she won't put her hands on the main roster.
2:59:37
Folks, Yep, she has. I mean did she bought who?
2:59:43
Did she body slam A couple of body slammed? Um? One of the
2:59:46
one of the uh it was it Luke Gallows or Carl Anderson one of the
2:59:52
Gallows? I think, yeah, yeah, what are you thinking, dude
2:59:56
with that briefcase? What are you thinking? Like? Now, dude,
3:00:01
why we know this is not gonna happen? Why why all times? So
3:00:05
then what you've ruined? Favorite? You know this is not going to happen,
3:00:11
So you've ruined fence gonna kick it. He's holding he's holding he's holding
3:00:15
a bone. See yeah, Uin, you know they run that spot over
3:00:22
and over and over and in the case to the reff and the ref is
3:00:24
holding it and they're both standing there like dufaces until the other person. Do
3:00:28
you want to do it? Yeah? I want to do it? You
3:00:30
want to do it? Yeah? I want to do what you want to
3:00:31
do it? Yeah? What are you kick in the face? And that
3:00:33
next parton. Yeah, this is always like you have to explain the ref
3:00:37
what it is like? What is this? Well, I don't understand what
3:00:41
is this? All right? Is this a briefcase? What's it? Are
3:00:43
you handing this to me? What do you want to do? I want
3:00:46
to cash it? Are you sure you want to do it? Yeah?
3:00:48
Yeah, you have some like thirty times I said yes the first time.
3:00:50
Fucker catching ringing the goddamn bell? Yeah, that's just too Yeah, exactly,
3:01:00
it's a dumb spot. Keep doing it. You know what's not actually
3:01:05
going to happen? Titles? Uh, well, I am mind and I
3:01:13
roll wasn't all that bad. I yawned a few times, you know,
3:01:18
but uhait. So, yeah, it's gonna be this Saturday. We will
3:01:24
probably try to fit in the post show. I am leaving for a vacation
3:01:30
next week, so I will be in Missouri. I am going far far
3:01:35
out west. That's far from me considering I live in Pennsylvania and the farthest
3:01:39
I've ever gone was Ohio, So Missouri is definitely far out there for me.
3:01:46
Out of this whole episode of Raw, though, I'm kind of surprised
3:01:50
that one thing that we thought was gonna happen seemingly didn't. And that's the
3:01:54
Raquel Rodriguez rear Ripley match. Yeah. Yeah, there was a second.
3:01:58
There was a bad backstage with Adam Cole talking to her and he was saying
3:02:03
something of a racale, I mean, and he said like, you're not
3:02:07
You're not cleared. But I wouldn't be surprised if that got added. Oh
3:02:11
yeah, it was. It would be dumb if they added it during the
3:02:16
week after what just happened. Like, if you were gonna make the match,
3:02:20
just make the damn match. Yeah, I don't think it makes a
3:02:22
lot of sense. Yes, And it seemed like that's what they were doing
3:02:24
by having Raquel come out here and put the beat down on Rhea. I
3:02:28
thought they was gonna make the match, but then she kicked her leg and
3:02:31
apparently kicked any chance of that match happening out the window. All right,
3:02:39
well, trade, do you want to plug anything? Um, nothing in
3:02:46
particular that I want to plug, but I do want to give a few
3:02:48
shout outs because while we were away for the month, I had an opportunity
3:02:56
to go to my first ever con. I attended, uh h, I
3:03:05
said, con Um. I attended Blurred Con in DC. For anybody,
3:03:13
anybody who's not familiar with the term blurred, blurred means black nerds. So
3:03:18
I attended that in DC and it was really really dope. It was a
3:03:22
really dope experience, especially for my first con. They're a little larger than
3:03:28
you know, your typical little contest held in the little convention center with stuff
3:03:31
like with little vendors set up here in there. I mean, they did
3:03:35
have vendors and other such things, and obviously in other areas, so fairly
3:03:41
me, I would say, maybe it's a medium sized convention. But one
3:03:45
thing I did do while I was there is I attended a number of wrestling
3:03:48
panels that were hosted by other fellow wrestling podcasters. So yeah, so I
3:03:58
wanted to give a shout out to some of those people. I want to
3:04:01
give a shout out to the Color Commentary podcast. I want to give a
3:04:07
shout out to the m I said, that's clever. Yeah, yeah,
3:04:11
I want to give a shout out to the job or Tiers Network podcast,
3:04:16
and I want to give a shout out to the Black Wrestling Podcast. All
3:04:22
those were podcasts that people who've been doing this for really longer than we have.
3:04:28
And the main thing, it was nice to see one a collection of
3:04:37
black wrestling fans because growing up, that's not really something that really had a
3:04:41
lot, especially with you know, not having many black faces to look up
3:04:48
to period in wrestling. You know, we had like Junkyard Dog Cocoa,
3:04:56
Beware a white Man's man servant, come on right, yeah, Virtue yea.
3:05:03
So not having that so, you know, I met R. I've
3:05:07
heard he's a nice guy. But I'm, like I said, going from
3:05:11
not having that to now seeing a whole, you know, collection of just
3:05:18
black wrestling fans and we all talking about wrestling and then having discussions about how
3:05:22
far wrestling has come for people of color and through all the progress that's been
3:05:31
made over the years, and just the sheer plethora of stars and even seeing
3:05:37
people there who saw one girl there at the at blur Con who cosplayed as
3:05:43
Bianco bell Air and all that and just having that experience was really one.
3:05:50
It was. It was fun and very uh, very motivating and it really
3:05:56
it kind of motivated me to want to, you know, take this podcast
3:06:01
to the next level. So I want to shout out to them, to
3:06:07
those pod to those uh podcasts, Shout out to those people, thank them
3:06:11
