<v Speaker 1>WWE was north of the border tonight. They were in

<v Speaker 1>Quebec City, So when you're in Canada, you can pretty

<v Speaker 1>much bank that you're gonna get a really good crowd.

<v Speaker 1>There's a great crowd, great crowd in Quebec City, and

<v Speaker 1>we got some really good wrestling on the show, mainly

<v Speaker 1>from EO Sky and Roxane Perez. That was a very

<v Speaker 1>good match that those two ladies had tonight, and that

<v Speaker 1>is where the compliments end for this show. We had

<v Speaker 1>a tag team made event tonight. It was cmpunk in

<v Speaker 1>La Knight taking on bron Breaker and Bronson Reid. And

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to sit here and tell you that

<v Speaker 1>I expected that there would.

<v Speaker 2>Be a clean finish in this main event.

<v Speaker 1>It would be nice, right, It's always nice to get

<v Speaker 1>a clean finish, but I can't really sit here and

<v Speaker 1>tell you that I was expecting one. I feel like

<v Speaker 1>I would have tolerated what we got tonight in that

<v Speaker 1>main event at the finish a little bit better had

<v Speaker 1>we not gotten disqualification after disqualification after disqualification after disqualification.

<v Speaker 1>Every single week on this show, Seamus comes out, he

<v Speaker 1>talks about banger after banger. We could talk about DQ

<v Speaker 1>after DQ. After DQ, I want to take you back

<v Speaker 1>to the gauntlet match that CM Punk one to earn

<v Speaker 1>the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at

<v Speaker 1>Summer Slam. I remember that gauntlet match they did. CM

<v Speaker 1>Punk won that gauntlet. You would have to go all

<v Speaker 1>the way back to that gauntlet to find a main

<v Speaker 1>event match on this show that actually ended clean with

<v Speaker 1>a clean, decisive winner. On July twenty first, technically even

<v Speaker 1>though it didn't close the show, but the main event

<v Speaker 1>of the show. Main event match on the show was

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Vaquier and Eosky, and that match ended in a disqualification.

<v Speaker 1>So then you fast forward to July twenty eighth, we

<v Speaker 1>had Jay Usso against Bronson Reid, which ended in a disqualification.

<v Speaker 1>You fast forward to August fourth, last week's show, you

<v Speaker 1>had seth Rawlins one on one against La Knight for

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship in a match that ended in

<v Speaker 1>a disqualification, And then we arrived tonight north of the border.

<v Speaker 1>CM Punk doesn't matter what country we're in. That doesn't

<v Speaker 1>seem to make a difference. We had Cmpunk in La

<v Speaker 1>Night against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and wouldn't you know,

<v Speaker 1>how did this match end? It ended in a disqualification

<v Speaker 1>and we had seth Rollins interfering in the match, which, honestly,

<v Speaker 1>as a match, it was fine. It was a good

<v Speaker 1>main event until we hit the finish and then I realized, boy,

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I have suffered from deja vu. This

<v Speaker 1>feeling washed over me as I watched seth Rawlins interfere

<v Speaker 1>in this match, and I said, boy, you know, it

<v Speaker 1>almost feels like I've seen this before. It's almost like

<v Speaker 1>I'm watching a rerun. And so seth Rawlins and brown

<v Speaker 1>Breaker and Bronson Reed, they lay a beat down on

<v Speaker 1>the baby Faces, and then jay Uso comes out and

<v Speaker 1>he comes out with a chair to fight off the heels,

<v Speaker 1>and then Adam Pierce comes out and Adam Pierce makes

<v Speaker 1>the announcement of the World Heavyweight Championship match that we

<v Speaker 1>are going to get at the end of the month

<v Speaker 1>at Clash in Paris. Now, I was hoping that we

<v Speaker 1>would get a championship match and not some kind of

<v Speaker 1>a six man tag because that would have been fucking lame, right,

<v Speaker 1>and nobody wants to see that. CM Punk and La

<v Speaker 1>Knight both have valid reasons to want to get a

<v Speaker 1>rematch with seth Rawlins. CM Punk was champion for five

<v Speaker 1>minutes at Summerslim and he got screwed out of the

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight title. La Knight on last week's show got

<v Speaker 1>screwed out of the World Heavyweight title when CM punk

<v Speaker 1>interfered in his business. So it only makes that they

<v Speaker 1>would stake their claim and maybe we would get a

<v Speaker 1>triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. But we

<v Speaker 1>can't have a triple threat match because we have to

<v Speaker 1>insert one more in person. And you would think, boy,

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna put Roman Reigns in that match. I really

<v Speaker 1>don't want to see that because I'd rather not have

<v Speaker 1>Roman in Seth in the ring together unless they're gonna

<v Speaker 1>go one on one. Well, it's not Roman Reigns. You

<v Speaker 1>don't got to worry about that. He may have a

<v Speaker 1>different match on that show. No, they put jay Usso

<v Speaker 1>in that to make it a four way match in Paris,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm sitting here and I'm going legitimately, and I

<v Speaker 1>know he's a former world champion and all that that

<v Speaker 1>was months ago. Legitimately, the only reason that Jay Usso

<v Speaker 1>is in that match in Paris is for his entrance.

<v Speaker 2>That's it.

<v Speaker 1>That's it. They want the crowd to yeat and people

<v Speaker 1>have fun when they yeat. And remember the reaction he

<v Speaker 1>got in in Leon, France the last time when they

<v Speaker 1>had backlash last year.

<v Speaker 2>That's it.

<v Speaker 1>That's the only reason that jay Uso was in that

<v Speaker 1>main event at Clash in Paris because he really has

<v Speaker 1>no business being in that match, but everybody is gonna

<v Speaker 1>go yeat, and so he's got himself a World Championship

<v Speaker 1>match and now we have a fatal four way on

<v Speaker 1>that show, so that is official. And as far as

<v Speaker 1>what Roman Reigns is going to be doing, Look, the

<v Speaker 1>thing with Roman Reigns is that he's being advertised locally

<v Speaker 1>anyway in Philadelphia for Raw next week, and he's being

<v Speaker 1>advertised for the show the following week on the twenty fifth,

<v Speaker 1>they're going to be in the UK, They're going to

<v Speaker 1>be in Birmingham, So unless he's there for a dark match,

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be back on Raw next week. And

<v Speaker 1>the thing that would make the most sense, and we

<v Speaker 1>actually had a video package tonight specifically focused on Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid and talking about Roman Reigns and targeting Roman Reigns.

<v Speaker 1>So it all fits together. He's been stealing the man's shoes.

<v Speaker 1>Roman reigns against Bronson Reed feels like the match for

<v Speaker 1>Clash in Paris out if they wanted to hold off

<v Speaker 1>and push that match off for Perth because Roman's gone

<v Speaker 1>all of September. That's when he's filming Street Fighter. He's

<v Speaker 1>not leaving yet, so it's entirely possible. I mean October again,

<v Speaker 1>it's still two months away. But if he's gone for

<v Speaker 1>the entire month of September, then yes, it's possible we

<v Speaker 1>could get that first Roman Reigns Bronze and redmatch for Perth.

<v Speaker 1>It's too far away. If he's back on TV next week,

<v Speaker 1>that's the match, so Roman will likely be occupied with him.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what bron Breaker does, but they'll figure

<v Speaker 1>something out for him. But like, I'm watching this main

<v Speaker 1>event tonight and just the laziness of what they do

<v Speaker 1>where I sit here and I feel like I'm watching

<v Speaker 1>a rerun every single week. It's just the show is

<v Speaker 1>so creatively bankrupt right now. I mean, they shaved half

<v Speaker 1>an hour off the show. It's not three hours anymore.

<v Speaker 1>And then you have a week like this where again

<v Speaker 1>it feels like a slog to sit through the show.

<v Speaker 1>And that's the way I felt about SmackDown on Friday.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm sitting here and I'm trying to debate, Wait,

<v Speaker 1>which was worse. I'm not sitting here trying to debate

<v Speaker 1>which was the better of the two shows. It's like, no,

<v Speaker 1>which one was worse than the other, And so I

<v Speaker 1>have to go SmackDown just because we got better wrestling

<v Speaker 1>on Raw tonight. I mean, I can't honestly compare the

<v Speaker 1>two shows and say that there was anything on SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>that I remember being as good as the match that

<v Speaker 1>Eosky in Roxane Perez had tonight.

<v Speaker 2>So that's at least one point in favor of Raw.

<v Speaker 1>But man, so far, coming out of Summerslim, these shows,

<v Speaker 1>they do not inspire a lot of excitement when it

<v Speaker 1>comes to Clash in Paris, for example. You know, it's

<v Speaker 1>not like they didn't try to tell certain stories tonight.

<v Speaker 1>You know, for example with Eosky and Osca and Kyrie

<v Speaker 1>sayin right, I mean you could see where that's going.

<v Speaker 1>There's a rift forming there. I don't know if the

<v Speaker 1>Kabuki Warriors are officially going heel or not, but like

<v Speaker 1>that's a direction they're taking. And that's fine. I mean

<v Speaker 1>they've teased that now for several weeks. But I'm looking at,

<v Speaker 1>you know, most of the rest of the show and

<v Speaker 1>whatever the stories are that are, you know, kind of

<v Speaker 1>in progress right now, and then shit like we got

<v Speaker 1>at the end of the show. I'm just like, this

<v Speaker 1>is just this feels creatively bankrupt right now. Where's the excitement.

<v Speaker 1>Where's the stories that are gonna grab you and make

<v Speaker 1>you want to tune in the following week? Man, I

<v Speaker 1>can't wait to see what's gonna happen next week. There

<v Speaker 1>really is no wondering. I know exactly what's gonna happen

<v Speaker 1>next week. It's gonna basically be a variation of what

<v Speaker 1>we saw this week. But man, when I when I

<v Speaker 1>saw that main event finish and I realized that it

<v Speaker 1>was four fucking weeks in a row of that, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>there's just no excuse. There's no excuse, and it's all

<v Speaker 1>on triple H. No excuse that we were supposed to

<v Speaker 1>have a Women's World Heavyweight Championship match tonight and it

<v Speaker 1>got pulled a few hours before the show because supposedly

<v Speaker 1>medical did not clear Naomi. That's what they said publicly,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on. They did mention on

<v Speaker 1>the show very briefly that Naomi was not medically cleared

<v Speaker 1>and she was not on the show tonight. She was

<v Speaker 1>not in a backstage segment, she didn't do a run in.

<v Speaker 1>There was no other mention of her during the show.

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what the issue is or the

<v Speaker 1>injury is, and so we'll leave it at that. Hopefully,

<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, it's nothing serious. It's nothing that would

<v Speaker 1>necessitate her having to vacate the championship. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if she got hurt, when that even would have happened,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So we have very little information so

<v Speaker 1>far in the way of what's going on in Naomi.

<v Speaker 1>But that is why EO Sky was wrestling Roxanne Perez

<v Speaker 1>and not wrestling Naomi for the championship tonight.

<v Speaker 2>But that match that EO.

<v Speaker 1>And Roxanne had that was, honestly for me anyway, the

<v Speaker 1>highlight of the show, and credit to Roxanne. She was

<v Speaker 1>great in the match, but crowd was super into EO again,

<v Speaker 1>which is great to see. Even though she's out of

<v Speaker 1>the world title picture right now. I mean, she was

<v Speaker 1>supposed to get a world Championship match, but she's not

<v Speaker 1>really in the world title scene at the moment. Hopefully

<v Speaker 1>that momentum will carry over. But yeah, when this show

<v Speaker 1>was over, I was just like, eh, like, what are

<v Speaker 1>we doing here? What are we doing here? This is

<v Speaker 1>not great TV? It's not and the main event finishes

<v Speaker 1>over and over again. Something has to be done. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>change it up. I'm begging you, please, for the love

<v Speaker 1>of God, just change it up. This is your raw

<v Speaker 1>on Netflix review. It's Monday night, August eleventh, twenty twenty five.

<v Speaker 1>I am the solemn monster. Like and subscribe. Super chats

<v Speaker 1>are open. We have a bonus goal going onto the

<v Speaker 1>chap but on the likes end, you know, the drill.

<v Speaker 1>Four hundred likes. It's the minimum that we're shooting for.

<v Speaker 1>I do want to say thank you because we're very close.

<v Speaker 1>We are less than one hundred subscribe was away from

<v Speaker 1>eighty eight thousand. What was it in Back to the Future,

<v Speaker 1>eighty eight miles an hour takes you to the future,

<v Speaker 1>Take us to the future. Let's get to eighty eight thousand.

<v Speaker 1>That's the next goal. So thank you for getting me

<v Speaker 1>very close. I don't know when we're gonna hit it. It

<v Speaker 1>might be, it might be a little bit, but we'll

<v Speaker 1>we'll get there soon enough. So thank you for that.

<v Speaker 1>Somebody in the chat said, do you think Naomi may

<v Speaker 1>be pregnant. I don't know, nobody knows. It is interesting

<v Speaker 1>that you mentioned that, though, because she had done an

<v Speaker 1>interview and this was many, many months ago. It was

<v Speaker 1>definitely earlier this year, and I know maybe she was

<v Speaker 1>on some pot like the Bella's podcast, whatever it was,

<v Speaker 1>but she was talking about wanting to start a family

<v Speaker 1>and wanting to have kids and realizing that she's at

<v Speaker 1>she's at an age now where if she's gonna do it,

<v Speaker 1>she's gonna have to do it soon. So that is

<v Speaker 1>that is something to wonder. I don't just mean if

<v Speaker 1>if that's the reason that she was pulled from the show,

<v Speaker 1>but even in the near term.

<v Speaker 2>You know, it's something that I think is.

<v Speaker 1>Easy to forget sometimes on the women's side, which is

<v Speaker 1>that you do get to a certain age where you're

<v Speaker 1>going to want to settle down and start a family,

<v Speaker 1>if that is, if that is a goal of yours,

<v Speaker 1>and yeah, the guys don't have to worry about that,

<v Speaker 1>because hey, it could be fucking forty years old. Forty

<v Speaker 1>five years old. They could they could be wrestling into

<v Speaker 1>their fifties. It doesn't matter. But for the women who

<v Speaker 1>want to have kids and start a family, yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>mean that is it is a consideration, and Naomi is

<v Speaker 1>on record as saying that is something she would like

<v Speaker 1>to do. So I don't know that that has anything

<v Speaker 1>to do with this, but I guess we'll find out

<v Speaker 1>soon enough, won't we.

<v Speaker 2>We don't know what we don't know.

<v Speaker 1>But the show opened tonight with Michael Cole and Corey Graves.

<v Speaker 2>They were at ringside.

<v Speaker 1>They announced that Naomi was not medically cleared, and so

<v Speaker 1>the Women's World Championship match that they advertised for tonight

<v Speaker 1>was in fact not going to happen. It was canceled,

<v Speaker 1>at which point CM Punk made his way out to

<v Speaker 1>the ring and Punk got a great reception. He said

<v Speaker 1>that the fans made it hard for him to be angry,

<v Speaker 1>but then he thinks about how there should be gold

<v Speaker 1>around his waist right now, and he gets angry all

<v Speaker 1>over again, says I have a Seth Rollins problem. Don't

<v Speaker 1>we all a few more finishes like that tonight? We're

<v Speaker 1>all going to have a Seth Rollins problem. He added

<v Speaker 1>that Rollins is trying his best to be CM Punk

<v Speaker 1>but failing miserably. Punk recalled becoming champion for the first

<v Speaker 1>time in WWE in over a dozen years. Punk said

<v Speaker 1>that defans thought he was relentless in his pursuit of

<v Speaker 1>his goals and he was obsessed with becoming champion. Then

<v Speaker 1>he is even more obsessed with becoming champion and regaining

<v Speaker 1>the title, so he knew to hate the game and

<v Speaker 1>not the player. Punk's that he doesn't hate the game

<v Speaker 1>because he's cashed in before, but he still hates the

<v Speaker 1>player that is seth Rowins. Punk said Rollins would not

<v Speaker 1>have to pretend to be injured because he would get

<v Speaker 1>his hands on him and he would break his leg.

<v Speaker 1>So then La Knight's music interrupted, he headed down to

<v Speaker 1>the ring. Knight held his hand out for a handshake,

<v Speaker 1>which Punk accepted, and Knight said that Punk was robbed

<v Speaker 1>at SummerSlam and he deserves his rematch. But Knight recalled

<v Speaker 1>Punk attacking Rollins during the match last week, which cost

<v Speaker 1>him potentially the World Heavyweight Championship and got him disqualified.

<v Speaker 1>Knight said that he understood, but it was the wrong place,

<v Speaker 1>wrong time, so he said that he and Punk don't

<v Speaker 1>have a problem, right, You and I are cool. He'd

<v Speaker 1>like to keep it that way. He asked Punk to

<v Speaker 1>go after Rollins. Go ahead, do it, but do it

<v Speaker 1>after the bell, and Knight said that Punk will get

<v Speaker 1>his rematch after he gets his punk ass Night if

<v Speaker 1>he thought that he was going to become champion after

<v Speaker 1>Rollins stomped your head in like a coconut on the

<v Speaker 1>concrete last week, I saved you basically is what CM

<v Speaker 1>Punk was saying to him. He said, you're welcome, and

<v Speaker 1>he told him to get to the back of the line.

<v Speaker 1>Knight said that when he thinks about what Punk did,

<v Speaker 1>you know as far as saying thank you, he said,

<v Speaker 1>thank is not the word that he would place in

<v Speaker 1>front of the word you, and he recalled Punk, saying

<v Speaker 1>that there are levels to this. He said Punk is

<v Speaker 1>not on his level. Knight said he would do Punk

<v Speaker 1>a favor by forgetting last week clean slate. It's like

<v Speaker 1>it never happened, so long as Punk doesn't let it

<v Speaker 1>happen again. So the second favor was that after he

<v Speaker 1>beats Rollins, who wins the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk can

<v Speaker 1>be his first successful title defense. So then Paul Hayman

<v Speaker 1>comes out right, we hear, ladies and gentlemen. He walks

<v Speaker 1>out onto stage with bron Breaker and with Bronton Reed,

<v Speaker 1>who had bold pairs of Roman reins of shoes draped

<v Speaker 1>over his neck. Hayman mocked the French fans by saying

<v Speaker 1>a few words in French and then saying that he

<v Speaker 1>would do whatever it took to get out of their

<v Speaker 1>province as quickly as possible so that he could avoid

<v Speaker 1>their guttural language. Haym Un told Knight that he should

<v Speaker 1>avoid getting into the favor business with CM. Punk said

<v Speaker 1>that doing so will take years off your life and

<v Speaker 1>will cost you your tribal chief. Knight he had a

<v Speaker 1>great line in here where he called Bronson Reid a

<v Speaker 1>walking foot locker. That amused me. Punk cut Hayman off.

<v Speaker 1>He said someone was gonna get punched in the face tonight.

<v Speaker 1>He told Breaker and Reed to come on down. So

<v Speaker 1>Hayman said he did teach Punk well. He said that

<v Speaker 1>they can make it Punk and Knight against Breaker and

<v Speaker 1>read right here tonight and l A. Knight said, look,

<v Speaker 1>we're not looking for Breaker and Reed. He didn't seem

<v Speaker 1>very interested in that, But then Punk cut him off

<v Speaker 1>and said we accept and Night was not very happy

<v Speaker 1>about that. He said Punk doesn't speak for him, but

<v Speaker 1>then he accepted the challenge anyway. Hayman was ready to

<v Speaker 1>head backstage, Breaker though, was not, and bron Breaker begins

<v Speaker 1>to walk down the aisle because he's angry, and Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid and Paul Hayman they have to stop him and

<v Speaker 1>they have to restrain him. And this was the best

<v Speaker 1>part of the entire segment. Bron Breaker is standing there

<v Speaker 1>in the isleway and he's looking into the ring. He's

<v Speaker 1>looking at CM Punk and he yells towards Punk, you're

<v Speaker 1>forty seven. What are you gonna do? And he he

<v Speaker 1>looks over at La Night and he says, you're forty

<v Speaker 1>goes you guys are one hundred years old combined. The

<v Speaker 1>Steiner math is not mathing here. That's number one. But

<v Speaker 1>those last fifteen seconds were the best part of the

<v Speaker 1>entire segment. It was a pretty paintbine numbers segment otherwise,

<v Speaker 1>but then bron Breaker just made it all worthwhile there

<v Speaker 1>with that little rant there at the end. He's great

<v Speaker 1>when he comes to the trash talking. It's definitely something

<v Speaker 1>I've noticed that he has done more of in the

<v Speaker 1>last several weeks, and I don't know if that's just

<v Speaker 1>something that was suggested to him by Paul Haman because Hayman,

<v Speaker 1>I know Hayman works very closely with him behind the scenes.

<v Speaker 1>But I definitely hope he keeps doing it, because like

<v Speaker 1>when he's got somebody down in a rest hold or

<v Speaker 1>a submission hold in the ring, it's at a tag match,

<v Speaker 1>he looks up at the partner he did it with Roman,

<v Speaker 1>it's Summer Slim. I think that's that's great. It's one

<v Speaker 1>of the things I love about his whole act. But

<v Speaker 1>he's not wrong. I mean, when you combine their ages,

<v Speaker 1>they are actually eighty eight years old. It's not quite

<v Speaker 1>a hundred so, but combined they are eighty eight years old,

<v Speaker 1>only about five years younger than Rick Flair. So the

<v Speaker 1>whole point of this was to build tension between Punk

<v Speaker 1>and Knight and main event for the show, Candy Co exists.

<v Speaker 1>I know, it's not like we haven't seen this before.

<v Speaker 1>Backstage in the Judgment day Clubhouse, Finn Balor spoke with

<v Speaker 1>Raquel Roxanne, j D McDonough, Dominic Mysterio showed up with

<v Speaker 1>El Grande Americano and the others were not very happy

<v Speaker 1>to see him. Why is he here? Who invited him

<v Speaker 1>in here? Balor pulled Dom aside and said, look, I'm

<v Speaker 1>pretty good at reading the room and the others don't

<v Speaker 1>want him here, and dom said that it was part

<v Speaker 1>of his strategy for Triple Mania this Saturday. Balor said,

<v Speaker 1>you know, it would be great if Americano could help

<v Speaker 1>you bring the Triple A Mega Championship back to the

<v Speaker 1>Judgment day, so Dom and Americano they headed out. Balor

<v Speaker 1>suggested to Riquel and Roxanne that they go speak with

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce about getting themselves a rematch for the women's

<v Speaker 1>tag team titles. That led to aj Styles and Dragon

<v Speaker 1>Lee against Dominic, Mysterio and El Grande Americano seventy five

<v Speaker 1>percent of the Triple Mania main event right here in

<v Speaker 1>this match. The only one missing was Vikingo having a

<v Speaker 1>four way for the Mega title on Saturday, so Dom

<v Speaker 1>entered wearing a Lucha mask that he took off as

<v Speaker 1>he headed to the ring. They also did they did

<v Speaker 1>announce that Corey Graves and JBL not Conan. Conan is

<v Speaker 1>being inducted on Saturday into the Triple A Hall of

<v Speaker 1>Fame by Raymisterio. So the announced team for Triple Mania

<v Speaker 1>will be Corey Graves and JBL. They'll be doing the

<v Speaker 1>English commentary. And look, I know that JBL has made

<v Speaker 1>a few appearances for Triple A earlier this year. Last

<v Speaker 1>year he snuck into Triple Mania. He was a surprise

<v Speaker 1>appearance on the show. I get all that, but the

<v Speaker 1>idea that JBL is going to be providing the commentary

<v Speaker 1>for Triple Mania is just very funny to me. So

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee wiped out Americana with a dive before the

<v Speaker 1>match even started, and that gave the baby Faces the

<v Speaker 1>edge until they went to the commercial break. Dragon Lee

<v Speaker 1>made a hot tag after the break, but the Heels

<v Speaker 1>got the advantage again. This led to a second nine

<v Speaker 1>minutes into the match. Americano ripped it Lee's mask during

<v Speaker 1>the second break, and he exposed a decent amount of

<v Speaker 1>his face. The match slowed down until it was time

<v Speaker 1>to come back from the break, as is usually the formula,

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee hit Americana with a double footstop. Dominic yanked

<v Speaker 1>Styles off the apron to prevent a tag, but Styles

<v Speaker 1>chased him around ringside and tackled him and a cameraman

<v Speaker 1>over the barricade. Oops. Styles made a hot tag hit

<v Speaker 1>Americana with the fireman's carry neck breaker. Don broke up

<v Speaker 1>the cover, so Dragonly Monkey flipped Dominic right into a

<v Speaker 1>Styles clash, which was actually a very cool spot. Americano, though,

<v Speaker 1>shove Lee off the top rope, so AJ gave him

<v Speaker 1>a reverse DDT. Outside the ring, Americano he tried slipping

<v Speaker 1>the little steel plate into his mask, but he was

<v Speaker 1>climbing up to the apron before he got the plate in,

<v Speaker 1>and so before he can get it in, AJ caught

<v Speaker 1>him with an in zaguri and he drops the metal

<v Speaker 1>plate on the floor, but sitting on the floor outside

<v Speaker 1>was dom Dom puts his lutram mask back on and

<v Speaker 1>then he slips the metal plate under his mask.

<v Speaker 2>Now Aj is in the ring. The match is still

<v Speaker 2>in progress.

<v Speaker 1>Here Styles rolls up Americana, who kicks out, and when

<v Speaker 1>he kicks out, that sends Styles into the ropes. Dom

<v Speaker 1>is on the apron and he gives AJ a head

<v Speaker 1>butt and so AJ is completely out of it. He

<v Speaker 1>stumbles backwards and Americano rolls him up for the three count.

<v Speaker 1>So this was a solid match. It was a long

<v Speaker 1>match too, it lasted over fifteen minutes, and honestly, it

<v Speaker 1>was probably better than solid. But the reason I say

<v Speaker 1>that it's a solid match and not a great match

<v Speaker 1>is that it was a little hard to tell with

<v Speaker 1>six minutes or seven minutes of fucking ads in the

<v Speaker 1>middle of it. So he was only solid. No real

<v Speaker 1>surprise here, no real surprise here to see AJ take.

<v Speaker 2>The losing fall.

<v Speaker 1>Think about it, like, seventy five percent of this match

<v Speaker 1>is in the Triplemanium main event on Saturday. Why would

<v Speaker 1>you beat any of these guys?

<v Speaker 2>Why would you do that?

<v Speaker 1>AJ loses. He had a cheat to beat him, So

<v Speaker 1>it's not like it hurts AJ styles. All it does

<v Speaker 1>is make him angrier and throw fuel on the fire

<v Speaker 1>when he eventually gets his rematch for the IC title

<v Speaker 1>against Dom. So the finish made all the sense in

<v Speaker 1>the world to me. But again, everything else I saw

<v Speaker 1>here was perfectly solid. So earlier today, Sammy's ain was

<v Speaker 1>talking to Adam Pears in the back and he asked

<v Speaker 1>him if he had decided on a World Championship match

<v Speaker 1>yet for Clash in Paris. I got bad news for you, Sammy.

<v Speaker 1>I'm afraid I've got some bad news You're not factored

<v Speaker 1>into the equation here. He desperately wanted the match. He says,

<v Speaker 1>I know I can be the world champion. He's like

<v Speaker 1>the little engine could. It's getting to the point now

<v Speaker 1>where if he constantly says it on TV, he looks desperate.

<v Speaker 1>Pierce said that he couldn't make any promises, but he

<v Speaker 1>told Sammy to focus on Russev tonight and then they

<v Speaker 1>could talk about it. So Seamus walked in and Pierce said, look,

<v Speaker 1>I don't want you going after Rusev again. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>going to have a repeat of what happened on the

<v Speaker 1>show last week. We're not going to have all the

<v Speaker 1>mass chaos and all the mass carnage that we had

<v Speaker 1>on Raw last Monday. And Seamus goes, oh yeah, who's

<v Speaker 1>going to stop me? So Sammy butts in. He goes, look,

<v Speaker 1>I know that you want to get your hands on Russev,

<v Speaker 1>but this match tonight is very important to me. So

<v Speaker 1>I'm asking you as a friend, please stay out of it.

<v Speaker 1>And then Seamus agreed and he said, after the match

<v Speaker 1>is over, he's going to go after that bulgarian bastard. Backstage,

<v Speaker 1>Eo Sky lamented to Adam Pierce about not getting her

<v Speaker 1>Women's World Championship match here tonight as promised Riquel Rodriguez

<v Speaker 1>and Rox Sane Perez. They showed up to mack her

<v Speaker 1>and EO said that she came to Quebec to fight,

<v Speaker 1>so Adam Pierce made the match after EO challenged Rock

<v Speaker 1>Sand It was going to be one on one that

<v Speaker 1>was coming up a little bit later on Sammy Zane

<v Speaker 1>one on one against Russev. This was in Sammy's home province,

<v Speaker 1>so you can imagine the reaction that he got. He

<v Speaker 1>was on SmackDown on Friday. They were or were they?

<v Speaker 1>They were in Montreal and he got a great reaction there.

<v Speaker 1>So he got another one tonight. Zayanne hit an Arabian

<v Speaker 1>press to the floor, crowd popped. Russev though cut him

<v Speaker 1>off with a Urinagi. Zayn made a comeback after a

<v Speaker 1>break and hit a Tornado DDT. Sammy went for a

<v Speaker 1>Halluva kick, but Russev cut him off with a Machka

<v Speaker 1>kick for a two count. Sammy avoided the accolade, he

<v Speaker 1>got a schoolboy that didn't work. Rusev avoided the exploder

<v Speaker 1>and he hit Sammy with the ten beats I guess

<v Speaker 1>just to piss off Seamus. The ten beats of the

<v Speaker 1>Bulgarian I guess installed for too long though, So Sammy

<v Speaker 1>hit an exploder in the corner, and then the camera

<v Speaker 1>zoomed in super tight on Sammy as he was setting

<v Speaker 1>up for the Halluvia kick. And when that happens, it's

<v Speaker 1>because they don't want you to see what's going on outside.

<v Speaker 1>Something is about to happen, and sure enough, and boy,

<v Speaker 1>this certainly lit my world on fire today.

<v Speaker 2>This got me excited.

<v Speaker 1>You know what, I should change my whole opinion of

<v Speaker 1>this show and flip it from a thumbs down to

<v Speaker 1>a thumb's up. Because guess who showed up here? As

<v Speaker 1>I feared. I talked about this in the SmackDown review

<v Speaker 1>on Friday night. Guess who showed up for the disqualification

<v Speaker 1>the favorite finish for Paula bec It was the MFTs.

<v Speaker 1>Solo's Sokoa and his MFTs. They showed up on Raw

<v Speaker 1>tonight and they dragged Sammy out of the ring. This,

<v Speaker 1>of course, was payback for Sammy pinning Sola. If you

<v Speaker 1>missed it, even though Sammy's Ain's on Raw, it doesn't

<v Speaker 1>matter anymore. Of course, there is no brand split anymore.

<v Speaker 1>So La Night now, I guess is officially on Monday

<v Speaker 1>Night Raw. Great, that's where he should be. Sammy's ain.

<v Speaker 1>He was on SmackDown because they were in Montreal. Fine,

<v Speaker 1>who gives a shit. But it's a little weird because

<v Speaker 1>he is technically a raw star and he pinned the

<v Speaker 1>United States champion. Now, when you pin a champion on TV,

<v Speaker 1>you best be getting a title shot because otherwise that's

<v Speaker 1>pretty fucking stupid. So this was payback for him pinning

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa on Friday night. They put the boots to

<v Speaker 1>him outside on the floor. Officials run down to chase

<v Speaker 1>them away. So off go the the MFTs. Stop provoking

<v Speaker 1>these things into existing. Look, I just common sense. I

<v Speaker 1>figure we're going to see them on Monday night, because

<v Speaker 1>they had already announced that Sammy was wrestling Russev. I said,

<v Speaker 1>these fucking guys are going to show up on a

<v Speaker 1>row Monday night, and then there they were. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>the crowd was not happy about this, but then they

<v Speaker 1>were when Seamus appeared out of the crowd. He caught

<v Speaker 1>Russev with a knee strike. Seamus then tossed a security

<v Speaker 1>geek over the announced desk before brawling with Russev through

<v Speaker 1>the crowd and out of the arena. Michael Cole made

<v Speaker 1>a comment in all this. He said that Sammy's Ain

<v Speaker 1>might have gotten himself closer to a title match had

<v Speaker 1>he won. Yes, a United States Championship match, not a

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight championship. Man. Now is not the time to

<v Speaker 1>be doing Sami's Ain going after the World Heavyweight Championship.

<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna do it, you save that for the

<v Speaker 1>end of the year, going into the Royal Rumble and

<v Speaker 1>maybe heading into WrestleMania. And there are even some people

<v Speaker 1>that don't want to hear that. That is one of

<v Speaker 1>the stories though that I think we will likely said.

<v Speaker 1>There's a couple of different options. Well, it's more than

<v Speaker 1>a couple. But you can talk about Punk, you can

<v Speaker 1>talk about Roman. I think the Sammy story would be

<v Speaker 1>a nice story to tell if they tell it properly.

<v Speaker 1>I think it's a story that could work, but it's

<v Speaker 1>not a story to be told now. The United States

<v Speaker 1>Championship is what he should be challenging for because he

<v Speaker 1>pinned the champion. Now, I know every Everyboddy fucking pins solo,

<v Speaker 1>so so it doesn't matter I may have a pinfall

<v Speaker 1>win over Solo so COO. I don't remember, but that's

<v Speaker 1>where Sammy's ain't appears to be heading now after the match,

<v Speaker 1>and I think it came during the commercial break, So

<v Speaker 1>if you weren't watching during the break, or you didn't

<v Speaker 1>have your VPN or whatever, you may not have seen it.

<v Speaker 1>But after the match, there was an amusing shot of

<v Speaker 1>Michael Cole and Corey Graves. They had the camera on

<v Speaker 1>the announcers their ringside and they're talking in the background.

<v Speaker 1>Right behind them, right in front of the barricade.

<v Speaker 2>Right behind them on.

<v Speaker 1>The floor is the security guard that was thrown over

<v Speaker 1>the desk by Shamus, and he is laying there and

<v Speaker 1>he's in pain, and Michael Cole is just talking and

<v Speaker 1>moving on to the next segment, and Corey Graves has

<v Speaker 1>to stop him and say, uh, hello, he got this

<v Speaker 1>guy over here because Cole didn't even notice him. He

<v Speaker 1>looks down and he goes oh. He goes, yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>don't care about that guy because he hit me in

<v Speaker 1>the elbow. So basically, fuck that guy. That was Michael

<v Speaker 1>Cole's attitude. He didn't give a shit about this guy.

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce and security are backstage now. Solo beat Socoa

<v Speaker 1>in Japan. Brother man, I've been all over the place.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe it was in Japan.

<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I'll have to check my record and see if I

<v Speaker 1>have a win over Solo. So maybe we got Boots

<v Speaker 1>in the chat. I'm pretty sure Boots has a win

<v Speaker 1>over Solo. So so Adam Pearce is in the back

<v Speaker 1>now and he and security are leading Solo's crew out

<v Speaker 1>of the building. That's the last we saw, Thank god

<v Speaker 1>of the MFTs. Now. Pierce is also on the phone,

<v Speaker 1>seemingly yelling at the SmackDown general manager Nick All this

<v Speaker 1>about his men showing up on his show, as if

<v Speaker 1>this doesn't happen every week, his men showing up on

<v Speaker 1>his show. He gets interrupted by another referee who runs

<v Speaker 1>over to inform him that we have finally separated Russev

<v Speaker 1>and Seamus, and Pierce says, are you sure, because he

<v Speaker 1>did such a great job last week, go back and

<v Speaker 1>confirm it. Just make sure that you have in fact

<v Speaker 1>separated them. And I guess they did, because we didn't

<v Speaker 1>see or hear from Seamus or Russev for the rest

<v Speaker 1>of the night last week. They kept cutting in right,

<v Speaker 1>and they were brawling all over the building. That didn't

<v Speaker 1>happen this week, so the referee ran off. Then Pierce

<v Speaker 1>was interrupted by Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Grayson Waller,

<v Speaker 1>and Woods was very upset because Penta last week ruined

<v Speaker 1>his twelve thousand dollars hat, his Black Morning hat. So

<v Speaker 1>Pierce said that Woods could take it up with Penta

<v Speaker 1>in a match on next week's show. This is now

<v Speaker 1>where they aired the Bronson read video promo video that

<v Speaker 1>I mentioned earlier. He said that he became a big

<v Speaker 1>star because he attacks Rolins. Reed said that he earned

<v Speaker 1>Rollin's respect and he was invited into the Vision. Reid

<v Speaker 1>said that he doesn't want Roman Reins his respect. He

<v Speaker 1>said he punked out Rains twice and the only reason

<v Speaker 1>that it hasn't happened a third time is because Roman

<v Speaker 1>hasn't stepped up. Reed said that it will keep happening

<v Speaker 1>until Roman acknowledges his tribal thief. So there you go.

<v Speaker 2>I mean Roman, whenever he.

<v Speaker 1>Comes back, and if he is likely in Paris, that's

<v Speaker 1>the match, not a tag match. Roman reigns against Bronz

<v Speaker 1>and Reed trying to get his shoes back the sneakers

<v Speaker 1>are on the I can imagine what he must have

<v Speaker 1>paid for those sneakers. They may as well attach one

<v Speaker 1>of those Tony Kahn stipulations to the match, you know,

<v Speaker 1>four hundred thousand dollars match.

<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I mean those some of those shoes.

<v Speaker 1>Who knows it could be one hundred thousand dollars worth

<v Speaker 1>of sneakers right there. But that's clearly the direction that

<v Speaker 1>they're headed in, and I'm okay with that. And maybe

<v Speaker 1>it's a case where Roman beats Reed one on one

<v Speaker 1>and then they build to Roman and bron Breaker one

<v Speaker 1>on one. You know, maybe that could be the match

<v Speaker 1>in Perth. So Eo Sky was shown walking backstage when

<v Speaker 1>she encountered the Kabuki Warriors and Kyrie Say said that

<v Speaker 1>they were sorry about EO losing her title match tonight.

<v Speaker 1>Oscar said that they could be in EO's corner, and

<v Speaker 1>EO said, I've beaten Roxane before I could handle her again. Thanks,

<v Speaker 1>but no thanks, and off to the rings. She went

<v Speaker 1>for her match one on one with Roxane Perez. EO

<v Speaker 1>was in control. She wiped out Perez and Raquel outside

<v Speaker 1>with a suicide dive, although Raquel took the brunt of

<v Speaker 1>the impact. Perez just popped right back up and attacked

<v Speaker 1>EO from behind to get the heat. Maybe I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>maybe Eo was only supposed to hit Raquel, but she definitely,

<v Speaker 1>you know, took both women out.

<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>It was just weird sing roxand just pop up like

<v Speaker 1>nothing there. Eo made her come back after the commercial break.

<v Speaker 1>Roxane brought Eo down off the top rope at one

<v Speaker 1>point with her karana. Perez caught Eo with a knee

<v Speaker 1>drop for a two count. The referee was distracted by Raquel,

<v Speaker 1>so Perez raked EO's eyes and then hit a shining

<v Speaker 1>Wizard covered her but only got two and again. The

<v Speaker 1>crowd was super behind Eo here, so like every near fall,

<v Speaker 1>Eo would kick out, place would go nuts, Eo would

<v Speaker 1>pop up, she would do that the pose that she does,

<v Speaker 1>and everybody loses their minds. She's fucking great. That's why

<v Speaker 1>I say like her and Gunther. If I had to

<v Speaker 1>pick two favorites right now, male and female in WWE,

<v Speaker 1>and frankly, it doesn't even matter. I mean male, male

<v Speaker 1>or female. The two best wrestlers in WWE right now,

<v Speaker 1>as far as I'm concerned Gunther and Eosky. Those are

<v Speaker 1>my two. So it's great that she is still as

<v Speaker 1>over as she is no matter where they go. Hopefully

<v Speaker 1>that long may ca continue. But Roxanne, I don't want

<v Speaker 1>to take anything away from her because she was doing

<v Speaker 1>really well in this match too. So again the referee

<v Speaker 1>was distracted by Raquel. We had the eye rake there by.

<v Speaker 1>Roxanne Perez put EO in a cross face, but EO

<v Speaker 1>eventually slipped out and hit a backbreaker for a two count.

<v Speaker 1>EO then hit a springboard moonsalt outside to take out

<v Speaker 1>both women right in front of the announced desk and

<v Speaker 1>then back in the ring. This was the only hiccup

<v Speaker 1>of the entire match. EO went for her genius of

<v Speaker 1>the sky moonsalt and Roxanne got her knees up, but

<v Speaker 1>it didn't really matter because what happened was EO was

<v Speaker 1>and this is rare for EO, but EO was off.

<v Speaker 1>She did not land in the position that she had

<v Speaker 1>intended to, and so she did not connect with Roxanne's

<v Speaker 1>knees at all, her knees, her boots, nothing. Instead, EO

<v Speaker 1>when she came down, she drove her knees right down

<v Speaker 1>into Roxanne's chest and at first glance, I thought she

<v Speaker 1>landed right on her face, and Roxanne grabbed her face.

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh no, but it was more like the chest.

<v Speaker 1>I think where she landed it did it look like

<v Speaker 1>a fun landing. But she was supposed to land on

<v Speaker 1>the knees she didn't. But then she sold it anyway.

<v Speaker 1>She sold it like she hurt her own knees because

<v Speaker 1>she wasn't supposed to go for the pins, So what

<v Speaker 1>are you going to do? Right, She's selling that she's hurt.

<v Speaker 1>So both women were down as Raquel distracted the referee

<v Speaker 1>for a second time. Here comes Oscar and here comes

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie sing, and they go after Roxanne and they're holding

<v Speaker 1>her on the apron and in comes Eo. Roxaneo ducks

<v Speaker 1>out of the way and EO stops short. She puts

<v Speaker 1>the brakes on before she collides with her friends, but

<v Speaker 1>then Perez shoves EO into Oscar and Kyrie, knocking.

<v Speaker 2>Them off the apron.

<v Speaker 1>Roxanne rolls EO up while holding the tights and she

<v Speaker 1>gets the wind and EO was very upset after the

<v Speaker 1>match as she gazed down upon her friends on the

<v Speaker 1>floor rings. This was a very good match, the best thing,

<v Speaker 1>the best match on the entire show, and there were

<v Speaker 1>several good matches on this show. Honestly, the wrestling, the

<v Speaker 1>inn ring wrestling is what carried this show, and it

<v Speaker 1>was nothing out of this world. But as far as

<v Speaker 1>the wrestling goes, this was the highlight of the night

<v Speaker 1>right here, even with the botched Moon Salt spot, and

<v Speaker 1>the crowd was super into it. Rocks End's ye know,

<v Speaker 1>it's funny on commentary they're talking about how you know,

<v Speaker 1>she's the prodigy and she's Booker T's star pupil from

<v Speaker 1>Reality of Wrestling and far advanced for her years, you know,

<v Speaker 1>even though she hasn't been doing this very long and

<v Speaker 1>she's you know, she's still relatively young, she works like

<v Speaker 1>a veteran and there's a lot of truth to that,

<v Speaker 1>you know, when I'm watching her in the ring, it

<v Speaker 1>kind of feels that way, you know. So she's very

<v Speaker 1>good and EO obviously is one of the best in

<v Speaker 1>the world. So I don't know what kind of match

<v Speaker 1>EO and Naomi would have had one on one. It

<v Speaker 1>might it might have been very good, it might have

<v Speaker 1>been only good. I think we probably ended up getting

<v Speaker 1>the better in ring match of the two honestly, So

<v Speaker 1>it's a shame we didn't get the Naomi match, but

<v Speaker 1>they more than made up for it. I know the

<v Speaker 1>World Championship wasn't on the line, but no one was

<v Speaker 1>expecting EO Sky to win the belt back. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>let's be i you you're fucking lying if you thought

<v Speaker 1>that Eo Sky was winning that championship back tonight. So really,

<v Speaker 1>what what did we really lose in that regard? Now

<v Speaker 1>in the back later on, this is where the storytelling

<v Speaker 1>aspect comes into play here in the back later on,

<v Speaker 1>there's a very upset EO Sky who confronts Osca Kyrie,

<v Speaker 1>saying is kind of in between them, trying to play peacemaker. Here,

<v Speaker 1>Eo blames Oscar for the loss. Right, she told them thanks,

<v Speaker 1>but no thanks, right, she didn't need their help, She

<v Speaker 1>didn't ask for them to come out there. So she shoves.

<v Speaker 1>She gives her a shove, or Oscar does rather. She

<v Speaker 1>gives Eo a show, and Eo is shocked, and so

<v Speaker 1>is Kyrie, and Osca just walks off, and Kyrie just

<v Speaker 1>she looks at Eo. She looks in Oscar's direction. She

<v Speaker 1>doesn't know what to do. Then ultimately she walks off

<v Speaker 1>with Oscar. Then again later in another segment, EO is

<v Speaker 1>just completely depressed. She's walking through the backstage area. She

<v Speaker 1>runs into Stephanie Vicaire and Stephanie is getting these roles

<v Speaker 1>where she's in the back for like ten seconds. Again,

<v Speaker 1>we need more Stephanie Vicaire on these shows. But all

<v Speaker 1>she did on this show was she ran into EO

<v Speaker 1>and she said to her, you're not the only one

<v Speaker 1>who is ODA World Championship match, and she walked off. Goodbye, Stephanie.

<v Speaker 1>EO kept walking. Ria Ripley shows up, big pop from

<v Speaker 1>all the fans in the arena, and Rhea tried reasoning

<v Speaker 1>with EO and asks her if she really feels like

<v Speaker 1>she could trust Oscar and Kyrie. ANDEO says she knows

<v Speaker 1>what she's doing and she doesn't like it. She didn't

<v Speaker 1>like the implication, and she told her stay out of it.

<v Speaker 1>So are we going to get Oscar and Kyrie going heel?

<v Speaker 1>Probably the real issue seems to be between Oscar and EO,

<v Speaker 1>and less so Kyrie because in all of these segments

<v Speaker 1>that they've done teasing some sort of jealousy or dissension,

<v Speaker 1>you know, because Oscar is always the one right making

<v Speaker 1>the comment like, oh your friend, where's your friend? RIEA. Ripley? Right?

<v Speaker 1>And then tonight it was like, hey, we'll come out

<v Speaker 1>there with you. That was Oscar's suggestion, and EO said no,

<v Speaker 1>she declined, and then we had the miscommunication and then

<v Speaker 1>so things are breaking down very quickly here. It could

<v Speaker 1>be a case where Oscar goes hel, Kyrie's kind of

<v Speaker 1>caught in the middle, or they'll just both turn heel

<v Speaker 1>and they'll fucking attack.

<v Speaker 2>EO one of these weeks.

<v Speaker 1>But it felt to me, even a couple of weeks ago,

<v Speaker 1>like the direction here, especially for Rhea.

<v Speaker 2>What's Ria gonna?

<v Speaker 1>I've been asking that question, what do you do with

<v Speaker 1>Rhea Ripley until we get to Perth in October? Because

<v Speaker 1>she'll be challenging for the championship at some point in

<v Speaker 1>Perth in October, no doubt in my mind, what do

<v Speaker 1>you do with her in the meantime? She's one of

<v Speaker 1>the most popular stars they have. You got to get

<v Speaker 1>her on the show. Well, this is it. She's right

<v Speaker 1>in the middle of all this drama with Osca and

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie and EO, and it's building to a tag team match.

<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna get Ria, Ripley and Eosky against the

<v Speaker 1>Kabuki Warriors. The only question is when and where do

<v Speaker 1>they do that? In Paris? Right, that'd be a great

<v Speaker 1>match to do in Paris. I just don't know, because again,

<v Speaker 1>Triple H likes to keep those shows very tight. You're

<v Speaker 1>not gonna have that many matches on the show, and

<v Speaker 1>a lot of them are going to be contested for

<v Speaker 1>a championship. Is there going to be room to do

<v Speaker 1>a match like that?

<v Speaker 2>There should be.

<v Speaker 1>There absolutely should be Rhea, Ripley and Eosky or two

<v Speaker 1>of the biggest stars in the entire roster. You don't

<v Speaker 1>need a championship involved to get them on a show

<v Speaker 1>like that. That should be the pl match. And so

<v Speaker 1>for Rhea, that's how you kind of bridge the gap

<v Speaker 1>and kill time between now and then, and then eventually

<v Speaker 1>we can get Eo Sky one on one with Oscar.

<v Speaker 1>That's the match I'd like to see. That's the match

<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting for. I mean, you could throw Kyrie in

<v Speaker 1>and make it a triple threat. I don't need it

<v Speaker 1>to be a triple threat. Just give me Eo and

<v Speaker 1>Osco one on one. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

<v Speaker 1>Jackie Redmond in the back interviewed ja Uso. He said

<v Speaker 1>it hurt him to miss raw last week and it

<v Speaker 1>hurt him to see what happened to Roman Reigns said

<v Speaker 1>he missed raw because he had family business to take

<v Speaker 1>care of. Jay put Rollins and the bron Bronze on notice.

<v Speaker 1>La Knight interrupted. He noted that people thought Jay was

<v Speaker 1>conspicuous by his absence last week. People thought that, but not.

<v Speaker 1>La Knight told him that the line for the World

<v Speaker 1>Championship and to get their hands on seth Rollins starts

<v Speaker 1>behind him, and so Jay offered to put Night at

<v Speaker 1>the back of the line. So this was their way

<v Speaker 1>of interjecting Jay Uso into something that honestly he didn't

<v Speaker 1>really need to be a part of. But this is

<v Speaker 1>what set the whole thing up. Here, we have Becky

<v Speaker 1>Lynch against Maxine Duprex for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, and

<v Speaker 1>I was wondering too, because yeah, they were in Canada

<v Speaker 1>tonight and Naddy is the one who threw the challenge

<v Speaker 1>out last week. And then Becky was like, no, no, no,

<v Speaker 1>I want wrestle you. I'll wrestle her, I'll wrestle Maxine.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm watching this and I'm like, man, why wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>you want to do Becky and Natty in Canada? But

<v Speaker 1>Maxine Dupree obviously is the stepping stone, right She's round one,

<v Speaker 1>so this was round one. Lynch mocked Maxine told her

<v Speaker 1>to get out of her ring, and Dupree look like

<v Speaker 1>she was going to. She looked like she was about

<v Speaker 1>to leave the ring. Instead, she gave Becky an arm drag.

<v Speaker 1>Lynch took over anyway and hit multiple sup plexes. Maxine

<v Speaker 1>countered though a man handle slam into a stunner. She

<v Speaker 1>applied an ankle lock, but Becky rolled out of it.

<v Speaker 1>That led to Maxine doing a very oddly timed cartwheel

<v Speaker 1>here in the middle of this match, just showing off,

<v Speaker 1>and then she booted Becky into the corner. Maxine hit

<v Speaker 1>a flying crossbody for two. Then she hit a spin kick.

<v Speaker 1>It didn't look great, but she tried. Then they traded cradles.

<v Speaker 1>Becky tried stealing a win by grabbing the bottom rope.

<v Speaker 1>Referee caught her, though Lynch applied to disarm her moments later,

<v Speaker 1>and Maxine very quickly tapped out, so Becky retains. And

<v Speaker 1>when the match was over and Natty got into the

<v Speaker 1>ring to check on Maxine and then Becky booted her, so,

<v Speaker 1>as expected, Becky Lynch against the Italia. That's likely going

<v Speaker 1>to be the next match. Again, Maxine was she was

<v Speaker 1>the warm up, is what she was. She was the

<v Speaker 1>appetizer to the main course here, which was Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>against Natty. Right, that's really the match that they're building

<v Speaker 1>to here. Actually, the match they're really building too is

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella, which we'll probably be in Paris,

<v Speaker 1>but before we get there, I'm sure we'll get Becky

<v Speaker 1>against Natty on raw. Look, Maxine, we don't get to

<v Speaker 1>see Maxine very often. We don't get to see Maxine

<v Speaker 1>very often period, let alone in the ring. Clearly she's

<v Speaker 1>improved from where she was. I don't know a year ago.

<v Speaker 1>I've lost all concept of time here because this woman

<v Speaker 1>never ever gets in ring time on this show. She'll

<v Speaker 1>get a cameo in the Women's Royal Rumble, she may

<v Speaker 1>be in a Battle Royal every now and then. She's

<v Speaker 1>not factored into anything meaningful on this show. So I

<v Speaker 1>couldn't even tell you. I mean, I think she was

<v Speaker 1>in the Battle Royal at Evolution. I could be wrong,

<v Speaker 1>but beyond that, I couldn't tell you the last time

<v Speaker 1>I saw Maxine Dupree in a match. Like supposedly her

<v Speaker 1>and Natty were getting put together as this new tag team,

<v Speaker 1>and they came up with a name, the Dungeon Dolls.

<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen them. When was the last time we

<v Speaker 1>saw the Dungeon Dolls on raw Never? I don't think,

<v Speaker 1>in the history of the fucking show. So we don't

<v Speaker 1>get to see her very often. I don't really have

<v Speaker 1>anything to compare it to. And the problem for her

<v Speaker 1>is she's improved a little bit, I guess, but you're

<v Speaker 1>only going to improve so much if you're not being

<v Speaker 1>given ring time. Like they even made the effort on

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown at least to try to get BFAB in matches.

<v Speaker 1>They don't even do that with Maxine. And they don't

<v Speaker 1>run house shows anymore. Right, It's very rare that they're

<v Speaker 1>gonna be on a European tour in a couple of

<v Speaker 1>weeks and they've got a bunch of live events, but

<v Speaker 1>that's rare. They really don't do house shows hardly at

<v Speaker 1>all anymore. And Mark Shapiro of TKO has said they're

<v Speaker 1>going to scale down even more next year, so at

<v Speaker 1>some point there will be no house shows anymore. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know how someone like Maxine dupree unless they send

<v Speaker 1>her back to NXT for a short run down there

<v Speaker 1>is supposed to get reps and actually improve. I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>she's training, and she's probably in the ring with Natty

<v Speaker 1>and that's great, but you can't replicate being in the

<v Speaker 1>ring in an actual match in front of a live

<v Speaker 1>crowd by doing stuff like that. So I don't know

<v Speaker 1>how she's supposed to improve beyond the level that she's

<v Speaker 1>at now if she's not actually allowed to wrestle matches.

<v Speaker 1>I don't really understand how that's supposed to work. But

<v Speaker 1>as far as her role on this match, she did fine.

<v Speaker 1>That seth Rollins met with his crew backstage, and he

<v Speaker 1>was in very good spirits because he thought that he

<v Speaker 1>would have to deal with Sea I'm Punk in La

<v Speaker 1>Night tonight, but instead they had to deal with bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker and Bronson Red instead. And like I'm listening to

<v Speaker 1>him say this, and I'm just thinking, like, you, you

<v Speaker 1>share a fucking locker room with these men, It's not

<v Speaker 1>that hard for them to track you down and jump

<v Speaker 1>your ass right there in the backstage area. Like, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what you're talking about. I could pretty much

<v Speaker 1>kick your ass anytime they want Rollin said that I

<v Speaker 1>guess my job is done here, so he left to

<v Speaker 1>head for the personal jet to get out of Quebec City.

<v Speaker 1>There was an extended video feature here on Bailey. It

<v Speaker 1>was actually very well done. Who was talking like she's

<v Speaker 1>at a crossroads in her career. She looked like she

<v Speaker 1>was about to cry multiple times here and you could

<v Speaker 1>hear it in her voice. She said that she's been

<v Speaker 1>doing this for a long time, thirteen years. She wanted more,

<v Speaker 1>but she felt less, She felt nothing. She was called

<v Speaker 1>a role model long before she ever started calling herself one.

<v Speaker 1>She wanted to be that person that people looked up to.

<v Speaker 1>But now here she was all by herself. Everything that

<v Speaker 1>led up to now has gotten her nowhere. She couldn't

<v Speaker 1>remember the last time she felt proud of herself, and

<v Speaker 1>it was her own fault and the camera it went

<v Speaker 1>out of focus a little bit here and she was

<v Speaker 1>acting like she had a headache or something, and then

<v Speaker 1>the shot went black and then all you heard in

<v Speaker 1>the background was that that heel cackle. Remember when she

<v Speaker 1>used to do those ding dung hello segments. That that's

<v Speaker 1>what it's from, that heel run. So they played that

<v Speaker 1>little sound effect there at the end. They're clearly teasing

<v Speaker 1>a heel turn, but they made it a little too obvious,

<v Speaker 1>you know, when they played that sound there at the

<v Speaker 1>end of the segment. I would have left that part out.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a mistake to have that in there.

<v Speaker 1>It really wasn't necessary. I thought the rest of the

<v Speaker 1>video was well done, and that has me, you know,

<v Speaker 1>curious as to where they go next. Do we get

<v Speaker 1>more videos like this? Is there just going to be

<v Speaker 1>a new Bailey the next time we see her in

<v Speaker 1>the ring? Or are they going to slow the bill

<v Speaker 1>to it? So I thought the rest of the segment

<v Speaker 1>was very good, but it didn't need that last part there.

<v Speaker 1>So they come back live to Jackie Redman. She's in

<v Speaker 1>the back with Lyra. Valkyrie asked her about the video,

<v Speaker 1>and Lyra hoped that Bailey was okay. She was kind

<v Speaker 1>of caught off guard, a little rattled by the video.

<v Speaker 1>She had no idea what was going on with Bailey

<v Speaker 1>and said that she would not have known because Bailey

<v Speaker 1>shut her out. And Lyra was struggling with how to

<v Speaker 1>react to this, and she refused to accept any sort

<v Speaker 1>of responsibility or that any of this was her fault.

<v Speaker 1>She said Bailey was the reason that she couldn't challenge

<v Speaker 1>for the Intercontinental title anymore. So she said this is

<v Speaker 1>not my fault, and Bailey is on her own. She's

<v Speaker 1>like the female Snitzky. Now it's not her fault. The

<v Speaker 1>main event was CM Punk and La Knight against bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker and Bronson Reid. The baby Faces were in control

<v Speaker 1>until the used a distraction to take over during the

<v Speaker 1>commercial break. Night came back a Breaker, though knocked him

<v Speaker 1>over the announced desk with his leaping clothesline off the apron.

<v Speaker 1>That led to a second commercial break. Less than ten

<v Speaker 1>minutes into this match, we had two breaks. Night began

<v Speaker 1>crawling for the hot tag as Breaker was stalking outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring to go after Punk. Punk saw it coming,

<v Speaker 1>so a Breaker backed off, but that meant that Knight

<v Speaker 1>couldn't make the tag When he tried to, The Bronze

<v Speaker 1>gave Knight the old Steiner Brother's top rope Bulldog. Punk,

<v Speaker 1>though broke up the pin attempt. Punk finally made the

<v Speaker 1>hot tag and he hit Breaker with a leg lariat

<v Speaker 1>and vertical suplex. Reid was about to go after Punk,

<v Speaker 1>but Knight intercepted him with the baseball slide. Punk hit

<v Speaker 1>Breaker with a flying elbow drop and then called for

<v Speaker 1>the go to sleep, but of course he didn't go

<v Speaker 1>to the jet. Here comes Seth Rollins and he runs

<v Speaker 1>into the ring. He attacks Punk for the disqualification for

<v Speaker 1>the fourth straight week on this show. The final match

<v Speaker 1>of the night ends in a DQ and these fans

<v Speaker 1>were not happy, and I don't blame them so because

<v Speaker 1>it's really just rinse repeat with this show. That's what

<v Speaker 1>it feels like. It is rinse repeat every single week

<v Speaker 1>with this show. So the Heels attacked until Jay Usso

<v Speaker 1>entered to his music. He attacked Breaker with a steel

<v Speaker 1>chair in the aisle. Rollins bailed before Reid swatted the

<v Speaker 1>chair away from Jay. Jay fought him off anyway and

<v Speaker 1>knocked him out of the ring, and then Jay stood

<v Speaker 1>tall in the ring with Cmpunk in La Night when

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce walked out, and Pierce walked out on stage

<v Speaker 1>and he told Rollins, you are going to have to

<v Speaker 1>defend your World Heavyweight Championship in Paris. You're gonna have

<v Speaker 1>to defend it not just against one person, You're gonna

<v Speaker 1>defend it against multiple individuals. You're gonna defend your world

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight championship. He set against Jay Usso, You're gonna defend

<v Speaker 1>your World Heavyweight Championship against and you are going to

<v Speaker 1>defend your World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk and it

<v Speaker 1>is going to be a fatal four way match and seth.

<v Speaker 1>Rollins obviously was not very happy about this development.

<v Speaker 2>So Punk was so happy.

<v Speaker 1>That he celebrated by shaking the ropes like the ultimate Warrior.

<v Speaker 1>Knight was less enthused. He argued with Punk. Knight shove Punk,

<v Speaker 1>Punk then tackled him. Jay Usso was watching all of this.

<v Speaker 1>Jay tried to pull Night off of Punk, so Knight

<v Speaker 1>gave him a back elbow. Punk set up Night for

<v Speaker 1>a go to sleep, but he got speared by Bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker and Rollins and his crew. They beat up all

<v Speaker 1>the dumb baby faces. Breaker ran around the ring, He

<v Speaker 1>spared La Night out on the floor. Reid gave Jay

<v Speaker 1>a death valley driver and then a tsunami splash, and

<v Speaker 1>then Rollins stomped Knight as he re entered the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and then he stomped j and then Breaker and Reed.

<v Speaker 1>They're holding CM Punk down on his knees and Rollins

<v Speaker 1>is looking down at Punk. He's talking shit to him

<v Speaker 1>and then Rollin's stomps punk and the vision they celebrate

<v Speaker 1>as Raw goes off the air. The main event I

<v Speaker 1>thought was going along fine until the stupid finish, the

<v Speaker 1>very stupid, predictable finish. Uh. And as I said earlier,

<v Speaker 1>it's not even that I would have necessarily, under normal

<v Speaker 1>circumstances expected a clean finish in a match like this,

<v Speaker 1>because they probably don't want to beat bron Breaker or

<v Speaker 1>Bronson read right now after're you know, getting read ready

<v Speaker 1>for Roman reigns. And it would have been easier to

<v Speaker 1>accept and swallow if if they just weren't so goddamn

<v Speaker 1>lazy every week with these finishes. I mean, it's ridiculous.

<v Speaker 1>It is such a lazy cop out to do that

<v Speaker 1>every single week, and they know their audience is just gonna,

<v Speaker 1>you know, lap it up, because oh whatever, right, we

<v Speaker 1>got our moments, you know, we get we get to

<v Speaker 1>see all the big.

<v Speaker 2>Stars, and so who gives a shit?

<v Speaker 1>You know, not not everybody feels that way, but enough

<v Speaker 1>people feel that way that they just feel like, well,

<v Speaker 1>we can do whatever we want. We can be as

<v Speaker 1>lazy and put in you know, you know, the just

<v Speaker 1>very basic minimum amount of effort here of thought into

<v Speaker 1>what we want to do on these shows, and that's

<v Speaker 1>why you end up sitting here on a lot of weeks,

<v Speaker 1>as I am sitting here right now after the last

<v Speaker 1>three or four weeks with this feeling of just like

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've seen this story before. I feel

<v Speaker 1>like this is not the first time I've seen this,

<v Speaker 1>and that's not good. It's not a problem, by the way,

<v Speaker 1>that's limited just a Monday night Raw, but it has

<v Speaker 1>been a Monday night Raw problem for the last four weeks.

<v Speaker 1>So now we have this four way in Paris again.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know that anyone expects that the outcome is

<v Speaker 1>going to be anything other than Seth Rollins retaining the

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight Championships. So you look at this and go, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>they're not just gonna pin CM punk again. Who is

<v Speaker 1>in there to take the losing fall? Now you may

<v Speaker 1>hear this and go, well, that's why Jay Uso is

<v Speaker 1>in there. Jay Uso is in there to take the

<v Speaker 1>losing fall. See I don't think so. I think La

<v Speaker 1>Knight is in there to take the losing fall, and

<v Speaker 1>they'll just beat him again because they have a lot

<v Speaker 1>more invested in Jay Uso and look at jay Uso

<v Speaker 1>is a bigger star than they do. La Night, La Knight,

<v Speaker 1>to me and their eyes is the expendable one. So honestly,

<v Speaker 1>if anybody other than La Knight takes the losing fall

<v Speaker 1>on that match, I would be shocked. I think the

<v Speaker 1>only reason jay Uso realistically is in this match isn't

<v Speaker 1>even to take the losing fall. I think it's to

<v Speaker 1>do this and get the entrance and come through the

<v Speaker 1>crowd in Paris and everybody will be eating and it'll

<v Speaker 1>be one of those moments that they love so much.

<v Speaker 1>It's all about moments, and that's why he's in this match.

<v Speaker 1>He really has no business being in this match. This

<v Speaker 1>was an issue of Punk and Knight and it should

<v Speaker 1>have been a triple threat match. But what else are

<v Speaker 1>they going to do to get jay Uso on the show? Right?

<v Speaker 1>They want to get him on the show, Well, this

<v Speaker 1>is their way of getting him on the show. Overall,

<v Speaker 1>this is a very dull episode of Raw EO Rock Sande.

<v Speaker 1>That's the end ring highlight. There was other good wrestling

<v Speaker 1>on the show. The main event had some good wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>The Aja tag match with AJ and Dragon Lea against

<v Speaker 1>Grande Americano and Dom. There was some good wrestling there too,

<v Speaker 1>but just everything else in terms of the segments and

<v Speaker 1>the storytelling, it just felt like nothing really hit for

<v Speaker 1>me tonight. Yeah, I'm interested to see where the EO

<v Speaker 1>and Oscar stuff goes, but beyond that, it's just rinse, repeat,

<v Speaker 1>rinse repeat, paint by number shit with this show. This

<v Speaker 1>was not a great episode of raw. This this was

<v Speaker 1>not a great period of SmackDown in raw coming out

<v Speaker 1>of SummerSlam week. I am not impressed. How would you

<v Speaker 1>greade raw? From Quebec City. Twenty five point eight percent

<v Speaker 1>of you have given this show an A grade, Uh,

<v Speaker 1>thirty four point seven percent give it a B, twenty

<v Speaker 1>one point four percent give it a C, and on

<v Speaker 1>the report card eighteen percent give it a D. At

<v Speaker 1>Solo Monster on Twitter is where you can go. All

<v Speaker 1>you professors out there, you can go give them whatever

<v Speaker 1>grade you think they deserve. It was definitely not an

<v Speaker 1>a show. Let's take a look at your super chance.

<v Speaker 1>I swear if we get another disqualification at the end

<v Speaker 1>of the show last next week, I just I'm gonna

<v Speaker 1>lose it. I'm gonna just fucking lose it. You imagine

<v Speaker 1>five weeks in a row, they give us a main event,

<v Speaker 1>DQ finish start with d Site says, I hate this

<v Speaker 1>stigma that wrestlers who are in their late thirties or

<v Speaker 1>forties can't be top stars because look at DDP and

<v Speaker 1>WCW or aj Styles when he came to WWE, or

<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhoads when he came back to WWE. What are

<v Speaker 1>your thoughts? I mean, who's saying that. Who's saying that

<v Speaker 1>guys in their late thirties can't be top stars? I

<v Speaker 1>think most of their top stars are in their late thirties,

<v Speaker 1>early forties. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, how old is Jay

<v Speaker 1>usso right, he's got to be getting up there, La Knight,

<v Speaker 1>CM Punk. I don't know how old is Drew McIntyre.

<v Speaker 1>What's he up to? Rollins? Rollins is probably forty. I

<v Speaker 1>think that's pretty much the average age of all their

<v Speaker 1>top stars right now in WWA. I think the idea

<v Speaker 1>is that if you are someone who is of that

<v Speaker 1>age who's only first now getting a big push, or

<v Speaker 1>if you're relatively if you're a relative and this is rare,

<v Speaker 1>if you're like a relative newcomer or rookie who's getting

<v Speaker 1>in very late. That's that's rare though, like DDP is

<v Speaker 1>a rare case. I don't think DDP had his first

<v Speaker 1>match until he was thirty five, So he's the exception,

<v Speaker 1>He's not the rule. But yeah, I mean the idea that,

<v Speaker 1>you know, wrestlers who are of that age can't be

<v Speaker 1>top stars. The idea is that if you are of

<v Speaker 1>that age and have not been pushed previously as a

<v Speaker 1>top star, they may be less likely to want to

<v Speaker 1>first give you that level of push because if they

<v Speaker 1>look at you and go, we need somebody who we

<v Speaker 1>can build around for five to ten years, are they

<v Speaker 1>more likely to do that with someone who's forty or

<v Speaker 1>are they more likely to do that with someone who's

<v Speaker 1>thirty three? Right, Damian Priest. Also, Damian Priest, I think

<v Speaker 1>is forty or forty one? Penta is forty. A lot

<v Speaker 1>of these guys who are already of that age. Dry

<v Speaker 1>Chicken says after watching WWE Unreal, the creative team in

<v Speaker 1>the writer's room are bland, like a pasta dinner without

<v Speaker 1>any tomato sauce. It's time for the WWE talent to

<v Speaker 1>step up their imagination and start giving some creative input

<v Speaker 1>with the creative team for their storylines. How do you

<v Speaker 1>know they're not already doing that. We don't know if

<v Speaker 1>they are or not. And you gotta be careful when

<v Speaker 1>you say that, because there are talents that will give

<v Speaker 1>ideas that are even worse than the ideas that WWE

<v Speaker 1>is pitching. Putting creative power into the hands of talent

<v Speaker 1>isn't always a great thing. I think it's good for

<v Speaker 1>everybody to have input. They could offer ideas and suggestions.

<v Speaker 1>I think that's fine. Dry Chicken says a Killer Cross

<v Speaker 1>in Darby Allen program on AW Television would be cinema.

<v Speaker 1>Let's will it into existence. I don't think he would

<v Speaker 1>be a good fit for AW. I don't I think

<v Speaker 1>Tony might push him out of the gate and then

<v Speaker 1>he'll just get bored with him and he'll be fucking

<v Speaker 1>Lance Archer on that show.

<v Speaker 2>I don't think AW is a good.

<v Speaker 1>Fit for him at all. We got GMB no chance,

<v Speaker 1>but most likely to go Heal Cody or Bianca Byanca

<v Speaker 1>more than Cody of the two Bianca Nick Grosso. What

<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts on WWE possibly running a main roster

<v Speaker 1>pl on the same day as All Out that's typical

<v Speaker 1>petty wwe bullshit. I mean, are you really surprised, I

<v Speaker 1>mean they do it on purpose. We know this already,

<v Speaker 1>just them being petty assholes. I knowb He says, Bron

<v Speaker 1>slipped up on his math while shouting punkin Knight's combined age.

<v Speaker 1>Better holler uncle Scott for a little math lesson. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I'd be down for that. EV and m thank you

<v Speaker 1>for the thirty dollars drop ashure. Let's take a look

<v Speaker 1>at what he said here. I wanted to come in

<v Speaker 1>and celebrate my birthday with you and the family tonight,

<v Speaker 1>but I found out my aunt passed away yesterday. Oh no,

<v Speaker 1>my heart was already heavy heading into today, but yesterday

<v Speaker 1>broke me. I thank you and the family very much. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I'm very sorry to hear that. I think we're all

<v Speaker 1>very sorry for your loss. I will wish you a

<v Speaker 1>happy I know it's not very happy for you, but

<v Speaker 1>I'll wish you a happy birthday anyway, and hopefully you

<v Speaker 1>can take your mind off it for a little bit.

<v Speaker 1>But that is awful. I'm very sorry. Pro Wrestling Fan

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety five celebrating thirty seven months of membership. I

<v Speaker 1>used to care about the WWE brand split. But at

<v Speaker 1>this point it's a complete and utter clown show. Triple

<v Speaker 1>knows needs to end it if he isn't going to

<v Speaker 1>honor it. He doesn't give a shit, I mean on

<v Speaker 1>the brand splits that he's just as bad as Vince

<v Speaker 1>on the brand split stuff. They don't care. It's a

<v Speaker 1>way for them to separate the rosters to a degree,

<v Speaker 1>but they're gonna make the moves that they want to make.

<v Speaker 1>And the thing is, you get two general managers and

<v Speaker 1>they don't even incorporate them into it.

<v Speaker 2>Right, They just show up.

<v Speaker 1>And then like tonight, Adam Pierce gets angry and he

<v Speaker 1>calls Nick all this and he bitches him out on

<v Speaker 1>the phone. It's like, why are they not working together

<v Speaker 1>to either trade people or work out arrangements where so

<v Speaker 1>and so will show up on the show next week

<v Speaker 1>and then we'll have an IOU and we can get

<v Speaker 1>somebody from their brand to come on our show one day. Like,

<v Speaker 1>they don't do it. They don't do it, they don't care.

<v Speaker 1>They're lazy when it comes to that stuff. They're very lazy.

<v Speaker 1>Bass Bears says, laughing my ass off. Oh that I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, dude, I have no idea. Your guess is

<v Speaker 1>as good as mine. But to go back to Jeremy Roses,

<v Speaker 1>I didn't forget about you, Jeremy.

<v Speaker 2>We wanted to know.

<v Speaker 1>Do I think Seth and Punk will have a Hell

<v Speaker 1>and a Cell match at the September pl E.

<v Speaker 2>I hope not.

<v Speaker 1>We just had a CM Punk Helen a Cell match

<v Speaker 1>with Drew McIntyre last year. I don't want to see

<v Speaker 1>another one. Come up with some other stipulation for it.

<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna do it on that show. And he says,

<v Speaker 1>I think Cross is re signed and will cost sam

<v Speaker 1>I mean Sammy if he's gonna go for the championship

<v Speaker 1>is something that's further down the line. But I'm gonna

<v Speaker 1>say no. I'm going to say no. Dry chicking Man's

<v Speaker 1>Warner and Steph de Lander are a great couple, and

<v Speaker 1>they are also nasty. What they did to Santina Morello's

<v Speaker 1>office on TNA Birds and the Bees. I did not

<v Speaker 1>see what they did, so I cannot comment on it.

<v Speaker 2>Alex says brother Solo.

<v Speaker 1>We might need Teddy Long to return and announce he

<v Speaker 1>disquadqualification match in order for us not to get a

<v Speaker 1>DQ finish. Unreal it is unreal. Jeremy says, Roman versus

<v Speaker 1>Bronson choose on a pole match. Josh Carlos ninety eight,

<v Speaker 1>remember Stephanie Kier being number one contender? Whilp. Yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. Again, I don't know what's going on with Naomi.

<v Speaker 1>I guess uh. Look, I mean, if it is something

<v Speaker 1>that is going to keep her out of the ring

<v Speaker 1>for a while, then you know, I mean, they'll have

<v Speaker 1>to work something out as far as how they want

<v Speaker 1>to handle that whole situation. But it's just it's premature

<v Speaker 1>to until we know more. It's just premature to even

<v Speaker 1>try to book, Like, how is Stephanie going to get

<v Speaker 1>her shot?

<v Speaker 2>Right now?

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie and Naomi is the match for Paris until we

<v Speaker 1>hear otherwise retro koah am I the only one sick

<v Speaker 1>of hearing there are levels to this. I don't know why,

<v Speaker 1>but that phrase just makes me cringe. Maybe it's just me. No,

<v Speaker 1>it's it's pretty cringey. Once everybody starts saying it, it

<v Speaker 1>becomes pretty cringey. Dried Chicken says I would intentionally piss

<v Speaker 1>off Triple H saying sixty nine, I would in saying

<v Speaker 1>what you would say sixty nine. What the hell are

<v Speaker 1>you talking about? Jason says, shouldn't Bronson Reid's finisher be

<v Speaker 1>called the shoe Nami?

<v Speaker 2>Uh?

<v Speaker 1>Now it should? Yeah, absolutely, He's got the shoe Lafalla.

<v Speaker 1>It should be the shoe Nami. The shoe Nammy splash,

<v Speaker 1>shoe NAMMI spla boy, say that five times fast, the

<v Speaker 1>shoe Nami spz.

<v Speaker 2>I can't say it once.

<v Speaker 1>Uh, Matthew, what do you think of a Cody versus

<v Speaker 1>Orton feud? Since Orton was leader of legacy and mentored

<v Speaker 1>Road seems obvious and I'm shocked they haven't done it yet.

<v Speaker 2>Matthew.

<v Speaker 1>I've been talking about this possible feud for a year now,

<v Speaker 1>so I'm with you. I mean, there's a lot of

<v Speaker 1>history to draw on there, this history, even from the

<v Speaker 1>last few months and Cody beating him in the King

<v Speaker 1>of the Ring finals, So that is a few that

<v Speaker 1>I am surprised that they have not already done, and

<v Speaker 1>they absolutely need to do. Lost Dill three months of

<v Speaker 1>channel membership. Appreciate all your hard work and dedication always

<v Speaker 1>getting me through my nights at work. Thank you, Solo, Well,

<v Speaker 1>thank you Lost Dill. I'm glad to have you with

<v Speaker 1>us on all of these streams. Joseph Brooks on WWE

<v Speaker 1>two K twenty five. I'm doing a true WCW invasion

<v Speaker 1>in universe mode. I need help for a war Games

<v Speaker 1>match from my invasion pay per view. So for my

<v Speaker 1>car his Stone Cold against Goldberg, Undertaker against Sting, DDP

<v Speaker 1>against Rock og Kane against the Giant. Well, you've taken

<v Speaker 1>a lot of big names out of your Wargames match.

<v Speaker 1>Ideally I would want to have some of those names

<v Speaker 1>in wargames. See, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't have

<v Speaker 1>war Games on that same show. I think you're blowing

<v Speaker 1>through all your big matches on one night. Why would

<v Speaker 1>you do that? It's terrible promotion. You need to have

<v Speaker 1>your fantasy card with a bunch of matches like that

<v Speaker 1>and save war Games for the next big show, so

<v Speaker 1>that way you can get people like Sting and DDP

<v Speaker 1>and Rock and Austin in wargames. Jeremy Rose, who did

<v Speaker 1>you think was the third man or the third man

<v Speaker 1>was going to be in nineteen ninety six. I don't

<v Speaker 1>remember who I thought it was going to be. It

<v Speaker 1>wasn't Hogan. I think you know what I think my

<v Speaker 1>thought was it was going to be Stinger Luger. I

<v Speaker 1>think I was leaning towards Luger, that somebody in the

<v Speaker 1>course of the match was gonna turn And when they

<v Speaker 1>did the injury angle with Luger to get him out

<v Speaker 1>of the match, I thought, Okay, it's got to be Luger.

<v Speaker 1>I wasn't thinking Hogan though. Bobby means, I do believe

<v Speaker 1>we are on a collision course for Bailey Lyra. Plus,

<v Speaker 1>I think Maxine Dupre and NXTA makes sense to me.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, she never should have been called up from

<v Speaker 1>NXT to begin with before she was ready. It's the

<v Speaker 1>whole fucking point of NXT. I don't understand that. I

<v Speaker 1>really don't. And then Eo versus Stephanie is pure cinner

<v Speaker 1>Is that word again? Is that word again? Em and

<v Speaker 1>M I wanted to come in and celebrate my birthday

<v Speaker 1>with the well we read this one already again. We

<v Speaker 1>extend our condolences to our good friend for his loss.

<v Speaker 1>But happy birthday, my friend, as happy as it could

<v Speaker 1>possibly be. Now look at that two more orange here

<v Speaker 1>we might unlock a bonus be the booker. Bass Beer says,

<v Speaker 1>yes again, I don't know Matt Fisher says, it's bremode.

<v Speaker 1>It's always pre mode around here. Also, the only way

<v Speaker 1>it could be more perfect is another bre mode. I

<v Speaker 1>should have figured it was you both times, mister Ruby Dog,

<v Speaker 1>Joey Ryan next hog show book it Well, if on

<v Speaker 1>some farm somewhere they actually do have hog shows with

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of hogs, he can certainly be a part

<v Speaker 1>of that show. But he won't be a part of

<v Speaker 1>our hog show. He wants to go roll around with

<v Speaker 1>pigs somewhere by all means what he does in his

<v Speaker 1>personal time. I really don't give a shit. Angel nine

<v Speaker 1>months of membership. Totally agree with Solo Monster not a

<v Speaker 1>great show. But eo versus Rock Sande was so good

<v Speaker 1>Arabian Night. With how dull the show was, I'm disappointed

<v Speaker 1>the Quebec crowd didn't start. We want cross chance. My opinion,

<v Speaker 1>his departure is not a work. Not everything is. That

<v Speaker 1>is true, Not everything is. I do not believe it

<v Speaker 1>to be a work. We'll just say that.

<v Speaker 2>We got eminem.

<v Speaker 1>If there is one thing that I can do to

<v Speaker 1>make everyone's day, I would need Nick Wayne's mom's help. Okay, well,

<v Speaker 1>he's the one who wanted to hear the song. So

<v Speaker 1>there you go. You can thank Eminem for it's a

<v Speaker 1>damn good song. Thank you, Eminem.

<v Speaker 2>Bobby's World.

<v Speaker 1>Sorry to do this to you, brother, but I see

<v Speaker 1>you're having issues with the chats. Did you miss mine

<v Speaker 1>or did you read it and I missed it? Now

<v Speaker 1>I read yours? Yeah, actually I just I literally just

<v Speaker 1>read it. Oh man, I hate this update. Let me,

<v Speaker 1>I am we might have to get rid of the screen.

<v Speaker 1>Just keep it on me like this is driving me nuts,

<v Speaker 1>and I love I just love the answer they gave

<v Speaker 1>me too, like nope, can I pause.

<v Speaker 2>Them or something?

<v Speaker 1>Nope? Like oh okay. It's very interesting to me when

<v Speaker 1>companies actually make updates to a program or a product

<v Speaker 1>and they actively make it worse. Don't you just love

<v Speaker 1>that they actively make it worse than it was before.

<v Speaker 1>Good job, guys, Cameo Johnson, been a fan since my

<v Speaker 1>military days in Europe. Respect for holding it down during

<v Speaker 1>the dark era of WWE when it was unwatchable. Ever

<v Speaker 1>visit Chicago beers on me.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Cameo.

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you very much. I pop into Chicago every

<v Speaker 1>few months for hog should come down to one of

<v Speaker 1>the shows, probably be back there in November, most likely November.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what venue I think we've I think

<v Speaker 1>we've outgrown our previous venue. But I'm looking forward to

<v Speaker 1>getting back to Chicago in a few months. Bace Beers

<v Speaker 1>says nine ninety nine with a nine to ninety nine

<v Speaker 1>super chat. I still have that nine ninety nine network

<v Speaker 1>promotion burned into my brain. They know how to market.

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that, doctor Scorpio. What's the difference between

<v Speaker 1>a good joke and a bad clock timing?

<v Speaker 2>Lol? I'll show myself out just showing some love. You know.

<v Speaker 1>If I didn't like you, I don't know what I

<v Speaker 1>would say, but it wouldn't be very nice. But I

<v Speaker 1>do like you, so thank you, Doctor Scorpio. Terrible Dried

<v Speaker 1>Chicken says kill her Across and Scarlet should be the

<v Speaker 1>host for an indie Halloween event. I know Scarlet is

<v Speaker 1>very much into the like spooky Halloween stuff like WWE

<v Speaker 1>on their YouTube channel has in the past posted stuff

<v Speaker 1>with Shatzi and Scarlet visiting haunted houses and stuff, so

<v Speaker 1>I know she's really into that.

<v Speaker 2>I love Halloween.

<v Speaker 1>They're actually opening a Spirit Halloween not too far from

<v Speaker 1>me soon. Once that's open, I'll be browsing around. Devin says,

<v Speaker 1>what were some of young Solo's favorite Colisseum home videos

<v Speaker 1>growing up? Smack Them Whackham is my favorite one. Probably

<v Speaker 1>that's the one that has the first Brett Hart world

<v Speaker 1>title change against Rick Flair. I was amazed that they

<v Speaker 1>would just put that on a Colisseum video. You don't

<v Speaker 1>see that very often, like a WWF title change on

<v Speaker 1>a coliseum video that didn't err on TV. So that

<v Speaker 1>was one. I mean, there were a bunch that I

<v Speaker 1>had or that I rented. Invasion of the Body Slammers,

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of wrestle fest videos. Yeah, the wrestle fests

<v Speaker 1>maybe smack them Whackam and then the wrestle fests were

<v Speaker 1>probably the ones I liked the most. Darth Panic be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker. Yes, indeed, Doctor Scorpio. My streamer tried to

<v Speaker 1>do a sponsored stream, but all he did was complained

<v Speaker 1>about the product.

<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm done.

<v Speaker 1>Sorry. My streamer tried to do a sponsored stream, but

<v Speaker 1>all he did was oh my god. M and M says,

<v Speaker 1>let's end my birthday on a high note with double

<v Speaker 1>B the Booker. It will be absolute cinema. You're correct, sir,

<v Speaker 1>Cameo Johnson. If you can pick three dream matches, what

<v Speaker 1>would they be. Well, I've often said Brett Hard against

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Angle. I know they very much wanted to work together.

<v Speaker 1>It just obviously never worked out. But Brett and Kurt

<v Speaker 1>would have been won. Hmm. Like the biggest dream matches,

<v Speaker 1>Savage was in one I always wanted to see set

<v Speaker 1>thought Savage and I know for some reason, I always

<v Speaker 1>thought Savage and Folly as Mankind. I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>that would be the top of my list, but like

<v Speaker 1>that was always one of those matches. I was like,

<v Speaker 1>man that would have been a great match, like with

<v Speaker 1>Savage in his prime against Mankind, like ninety six Mankind

<v Speaker 1>when he was at his physical peak doing that character.

<v Speaker 1>Shawn Michaels in the Rock was always a match that

<v Speaker 1>I felt like we really missed out on Austin and

<v Speaker 1>Hogan just for the marquee value of it. Obviously that's

<v Speaker 1>a huge match. So those are some of them. Today's

<v Speaker 1>episode is sponsored by Hymns coming out of Summer Slim.

<v Speaker 1>Last week there was a wrestler in the news I

<v Speaker 1>won't say who, but he was talking about his hair

<v Speaker 1>loss and how much it really affected him and his

<v Speaker 1>quality of life and how he wished he would have

<v Speaker 1>taken steps to address the issue years ago. And you

<v Speaker 1>can understand why. You know, it's a cosmetic business that

<v Speaker 1>they're in. This person's on TV all the time, very visible,

<v Speaker 1>but there are thousands of men out there going through

<v Speaker 1>the exact same thing who are not public figures, They

<v Speaker 1>are not on television in front of millions of people,

<v Speaker 1>but they can still feel that same shame, and they

<v Speaker 1>shouldn't because there's nothing to be ashamed of. Thinning hair

<v Speaker 1>is a problem that affects lots of people, and if

<v Speaker 1>you happen to be one of those people, you need

<v Speaker 1>Arabia and I Financially and national exposure wise, aw makes

<v Speaker 1>the most sense for Cross. He hated his time in

<v Speaker 1>TNA and how they treated him, specifically, especially financially. Do

<v Speaker 1>you remember, yeah, but you got to remember something that

<v Speaker 1>was a different time in TNA. It's under different management now,

<v Speaker 1>and if he has any goals of returning to WWE,

<v Speaker 1>TNA is probably the best place for him. There were issues.

<v Speaker 1>I do believe there were issues with them or Scarlett

<v Speaker 1>and Don Kallus that could be a factor. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>callous works in AW. Now that's a whole situation I'm

<v Speaker 1>not going to get into. But for maybe that reason,

<v Speaker 1>and also just I don't think Cross is a good fit.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's someone Tony Khan would push. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think he's the kind of performer or wrestler that

<v Speaker 1>Tony Khan is going to be gung ho about in

<v Speaker 1>the way that he is people on his roster like

<v Speaker 1>a Will Osprey or Swerve Strickland. So I feel like

<v Speaker 1>he might be hot out of the gate, and then

<v Speaker 1>even if there is something there to capitalize on, it'll

<v Speaker 1>be like the WWE thing all over again and.

<v Speaker 2>It'll just die. So if it's just purely about.

<v Speaker 1>Money, sure, you know he could. He could try and

<v Speaker 1>see if there's interest in going to AW. I just

<v Speaker 1>don't think that's going to be a good fit. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think that Tony Kahan would do much more with

<v Speaker 1>him than what Triple h did. I think TNA could work.

<v Speaker 1>I think New Japan could work. And I don't know

<v Speaker 1>that they're spending a lot of money on you know,

<v Speaker 1>foreign talent right now. But AW would be very low

<v Speaker 1>down on the list of places that I think cross

<v Speaker 1>if you went with Thriving. This my opinion, Jeremy Rose.

<v Speaker 1>Funny thing about commentary during Hogan's heel turn is Bobby

<v Speaker 1>Heenen saying he knew it the whole time and continued

<v Speaker 1>to bury Hogan. Lol. He was the goat. Why wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>he his whole career, even going back to the Twin

<v Speaker 1>Cities in the AWA when he was managing Nick Bockwinkle,

<v Speaker 1>he was feuding with Hogan, so of course he would

<v Speaker 1>hate the guy regardless. He was consistent in his hatred

<v Speaker 1>for Hogan. Doctor Scorpio again, thank you for that super chat. Duffsvids.

<v Speaker 1>What are your top three favorite holidays? In order? Thank

<v Speaker 1>you for your stream solo. Thank you for all the

<v Speaker 1>love dufsvids. You help keep this place running. I appreciate you. Halloween.

<v Speaker 1>Halloween is definitely number one in order. Huh, Halloween?

<v Speaker 2>Christmas?

<v Speaker 1>Do I even have a third that I feel that

<v Speaker 1>strongly about? I really don't. Thanksgiving. Yeah, Thanksgiving, I would say,

<v Speaker 1>if I had to rank them in order, you know what,

<v Speaker 1>here's here's the order, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas in that order. Christmas,

<v Speaker 1>I just like the festive season, the lights like I

<v Speaker 1>like that aspect of it. Thanksgiving love the food, hanging

<v Speaker 1>out with you know, family that you know we still

<v Speaker 1>get to hang out with. But Halloween is my number one.

<v Speaker 1>Noodle puddings, Daddy Ugarte knows noodle pudding. It is very

<v Speaker 1>misleading when I call it noodle pudding, and I posted

<v Speaker 1>pictures of it online before from Thanksgiving. I have a

<v Speaker 1>cousin who makes we call it noodle putting. It's not putting.

<v Speaker 2>I know.

<v Speaker 1>It's being very misleading. People think it's like a it's

<v Speaker 1>like a fucking it's not putting it.

<v Speaker 2>The best way I.

<v Speaker 1>Could describe it is it's like a It's like a

<v Speaker 1>noodle casserole. Basically picture is lice a cake, but instead

<v Speaker 1>of cake, it's all these noodles and cinnamon and everything,

<v Speaker 1>and it's just sort of baked together. It's so good.

<v Speaker 1>I always have it on Thanksgiving. Kevin says, love carrying

<v Speaker 1>Cross's interview with Ariel Must Watch is that a new

<v Speaker 1>one he did one previously near. I'd put Sammy in

<v Speaker 1>that fatal four way instead of J. You know what,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not too gung ho about jumping into the Sammi

<v Speaker 1>thing just yet, but yet you're right, I probably would

<v Speaker 1>put him in there as well in place of J.

<v Speaker 1>Terrible Dried Chicken says, fuck it. Give Bailey a split

<v Speaker 1>personality gimmick. I don't know. Can she pull it off?

<v Speaker 1>There are some performers in wrestler who could pull off crazy.

<v Speaker 1>I think Alexa Bliss did a pretty good job of that.

<v Speaker 1>Daphne did a pretty good job at that back in

<v Speaker 1>the day, Rosemary in TNA. I don't know. I say crazy,

<v Speaker 1>I mean that's it doesn't mean she has to be crazy.

<v Speaker 1>But again, if you're talking the split personality things, there

<v Speaker 1>has to be something to differentiate the two. So I

<v Speaker 1>just assume like one of her personas would be kind

<v Speaker 1>of crazy, you know, and unhinged, and then the other

<v Speaker 1>one could be the role model, like you want to

<v Speaker 1>go to the opposite end of the spectrum. If you're

<v Speaker 1>going to do two different personalities, can't she pull it off?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, got nothing to lose, It's not like

<v Speaker 1>Bailey has really been given much to do recently.

<v Speaker 2>That's terribly interesting, cameo Johnson.

<v Speaker 1>We know Vince is like Voldemort, but do you think

<v Speaker 1>there are some things wwe being ignorantly corporate now that

<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't go for. I mean, the number one thing

<v Speaker 1>is the advertising and sponsorships on the mats. He always

<v Speaker 1>wanted to keep a clean ring. He did not want

<v Speaker 1>any sponsor logos on the mats around ringside. Well that's

<v Speaker 1>not true because they did have stuff on, like the

<v Speaker 1>led barricade, but they've gone so overboard with it, so

<v Speaker 1>disgustingly overboard with it. That is one thing that he

<v Speaker 1>would never have allowed. And it's one thing to have,

<v Speaker 1>like the slim gym logo right in the middle of

<v Speaker 1>the ring, like okay, fine, I don't even have an

<v Speaker 1>issue with that, but having i mean literally like seven

<v Speaker 1>or eight logos all over the mat and then the

<v Speaker 1>turnbuckles and everything like that's something you would never have

<v Speaker 1>seen if he was still in power, you would never

<v Speaker 1>have seen that. But they just they're gonna make money

<v Speaker 1>any way they can, anyway that you can. That's why

<v Speaker 1>you're hearing talk about, you know, possibly to WrestleMania is

<v Speaker 1>one of these years, you know, you give one to

<v Speaker 1>Saudi and you do the regular WrestleMania. So now instead

<v Speaker 1>of having too WrestleMania Maine events a year, we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have fo WrestleMania Maine events a year, to the point

<v Speaker 1>where being in the WrestleMania main event won't mean anything.

<v Speaker 1>It'll mean nothing. That's where we're headed. WrestleMania every month.

<v Speaker 1>Remember when we had WrestleMania Backlash a few years ago.

<v Speaker 1>It'll be that all over again. WrestleMania Backlash, WrestleMania Bad Blood,

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania money in the bank. It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Who's

<v Speaker 1>to say Vince wouldn't have changed his mind because he's

<v Speaker 1>an old fucker. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

<v Speaker 1>It's the one thing he held on to, like grim death.

<v Speaker 1>He would not allow his mat to be debased in

<v Speaker 1>that way. And even if he would have, I think

<v Speaker 1>he would have gone as far as having one sponsor

<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the ring like WCW used to do.

<v Speaker 1>They had Snickers, they had Slimjim, but not all over

<v Speaker 1>the place where it's like, okay, if you want to

<v Speaker 1>tattoo something on my arm. Go ahead. TKO comes in

<v Speaker 1>and says, hold my beer. You can tattoo me on

<v Speaker 1>the arms. You could tattoo me on the legs. You

<v Speaker 1>could tattoo my fucking forehead. You could put a tattoo

<v Speaker 1>on the back of each of my shoulders. You could

<v Speaker 1>put a tattoo on the back of each of my

<v Speaker 1>ash cheeks. They don't care. As long as you cut

<v Speaker 1>the check, that's all that matters. It's time to be

<v Speaker 1>the booker.

<v Speaker 2>Ladies or gentlemen.

<v Speaker 1>It is now time to be the booker. We get

<v Speaker 1>two rounds tonight thanks to you guys. It's exciting. Love it,

<v Speaker 1>love it when we get to do double be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>They're going to start putting sponsor logos on all the merch. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>that'll be coming. Absolutely, You'll see at least some of

<v Speaker 1>the top names will be coming down to the ring. Cody,

<v Speaker 1>you'll have Wheatley American Vodka's logo on his fucking trunks

<v Speaker 1>or his his tights. I mean, if Roman Rings doesn't

<v Speaker 1>get like a Nike sponsorship out of this, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here, Jay Uso and wingstop.

<v Speaker 2>Oh it's coming all right, Tag team be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>We have hmm, Mason Madden and well, I mean, if

<v Speaker 1>you go by their names in wwe really like in

<v Speaker 1>this image it's Mansor and Marseille, but it's a Mason

<v Speaker 1>Madden and Mansur in the Ring of Honor. The blue

<v Speaker 1>chee ladder. Yes, they're branding the tables and the ladders.

<v Speaker 1>Now well, no, it was the fireball ladder, but in

<v Speaker 1>due time we'll get the blue choe ladder. Actually, I

<v Speaker 1>think the suggestion I made was the blue choe bell.

<v Speaker 1>The steel steps will be the Snickers steps. Put the

<v Speaker 1>Snicker's logo on each step. Oh it's coming. Well, you

<v Speaker 1>know how they remove the top part of the ring

<v Speaker 1>steps and they have the flat bottom part. Once they

<v Speaker 1>remove the top part, it reveals the sponsor logo for

<v Speaker 1>that night, and their fucking logo is right there on

<v Speaker 1>top of that flat part of the ring steps. All

<v Speaker 1>this stuff will happen. All this stuff will happen. So

<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be the Ussos against Mansor and masse kicking

<v Speaker 1>us off. Here in be the I find Mason man

<v Speaker 1>Soor entertaining. The question is do we give this match

<v Speaker 1>a bell Mason Mansor against the USOS bucket. I'm giving

<v Speaker 1>it the bell. I'm giving it the bell. Bred Hart

<v Speaker 1>forty one months of channel membership. This month is my

<v Speaker 1>tenth anniversary of being a sound off listener. Wow, how

<v Speaker 1>about that a decade a decade. Thank you for sticking

<v Speaker 1>with me, brother, I appreciate. Here's to the next ten

<v Speaker 1>pre show for a backlash, We'll put the USOS against

<v Speaker 1>the Mason Mansor on the pre show. Okay, they don't

<v Speaker 1>do matches on pre shows anymore. In AW, they do

<v Speaker 1>too many matches on the pre show. In WWE, they

<v Speaker 1>don't do any matches. It's just one extreme.

<v Speaker 2>Or the other.

<v Speaker 1>Willow Nightingale, one of my favorites from AW. Willow is great.

<v Speaker 1>Willow Nightingale will be battling Mayu Ewatani. You don't know

<v Speaker 1>who Mayu e Watani is. I suggest you look her up,

<v Speaker 1>but if you're any kind of fan of Joshi Wrestling,

<v Speaker 1>you know exactly who Mayui Watani is. In fact, I

<v Speaker 1>think she had a movie made about her life over

<v Speaker 1>in Japan. And our first of two main events here,

<v Speaker 1>don't forget, we got one more yet to come. Here

<v Speaker 1>we go. Oh boy, look who it is. It's Dax Harwood,

<v Speaker 1>one half of FTR Dax Harwood and Be the Booker

<v Speaker 1>has pulled himself away from the Twitter machine to actually

<v Speaker 1>participate in this main event. I'm shocked.

<v Speaker 2>And who will he be stepping into the ring with.

<v Speaker 1>Let's find out he'll be stepping into the ring with

<v Speaker 1>Bobby Lashley. Well not if MVP has his way, he won't.

<v Speaker 1>If MVP is going to exercise his creative freedom in aw,

<v Speaker 1>that ain't going to be happening. We'll find out who

<v Speaker 1>wins out on that end, if it's MVP or Tony Kahan.

<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned. Oh, that's a sweep. I just realized. I

<v Speaker 1>just realized that's as I almost completely forgot. That's a

<v Speaker 1>clean sweep. There you go. Well, he knows who's losing

<v Speaker 1>this man, Yeah, we know who's winning that match. Dak

<v Speaker 1>Harwood's Michael says, Dax Harwood sounds like a porn name.

<v Speaker 1>You know it kind of does it? Does? Dax Harwood

<v Speaker 1>sounds like a porn stars name. Well, anyway, let's move

<v Speaker 1>on to the second round. That lovely visual. We go

<v Speaker 1>to round number two. Be the Booker, we might have

<v Speaker 1>MVP booking the matches here. In round two, I believe

<v Speaker 1>he's exercising his desire to book round two. So let's

<v Speaker 1>see what we end up with. And we're gonna have

<v Speaker 1>a barbed wires steel cage match to kick us off here.

<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a barbed wire steel cage tag

<v Speaker 1>team match. That's gonna be crazy, barbed wires steel cage

<v Speaker 1>tag team match with the Holly Cousin. Well, they're a hardcore,

<v Speaker 1>so it's perfect. The Holly Cousins, hardcore and crash. That fits.

<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 1>Pick the perfect teams for this, The Holly Cousins against

<v Speaker 1>Public Enemy in a tag team barbed wire steel cage match.

<v Speaker 1>It's perfect.

<v Speaker 2>That worked out.

<v Speaker 1>Well. Can we do a double sweep? That doesn't happen?

<v Speaker 1>It's like a unicorn. It doesn't happen very often. You

<v Speaker 1>don't see them very often. But I think we have

<v Speaker 1>a chance. All Right, A good job, MVP. You did

<v Speaker 1>well with that one.

<v Speaker 2>MVP.

<v Speaker 1>You're gonna kill the town here with the stipulation. Another

<v Speaker 1>barbed wire steel cage match has been booked. Oh man,

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna kill the stipulation is what you're gonna do.

<v Speaker 1>And it's gonna be a women's match, No less a

<v Speaker 1>women's steel cage barbed wire match with Live Morgan, Poor

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan, My god. Live Morgan is out injured. She

<v Speaker 1>had surgery, she's hurt, and her first match back, we're

<v Speaker 1>putting her in a barbed wire steel cage match. Respin,

<v Speaker 1>it's not how it works. Live Morgan against Willow Nightingale. Boy.

<v Speaker 1>We are certainly doing a lot of repeat choices tonight,

<v Speaker 1>aren't we? But I dig the match though. Liv Morgan

<v Speaker 1>is kind of crazy and she's not afraid to throw

<v Speaker 1>her body around. We saw her in the elimination chamber

<v Speaker 1>earlier this year. She's not afraid of taking a beating

<v Speaker 1>in the ring and Willow and we saw Willow in

<v Speaker 1>a fucking anarchy in the arena match and then that

<v Speaker 1>match she had it all out last year with Chris Statlanders,

<v Speaker 1>so she doesn't mind. We are on the verge of

<v Speaker 1>a double. Sweet guys, this is amazing. I feel it.

<v Speaker 1>I feel it. I have a good feeling about this.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna end with an Ultimate X match, Ultimate X

<v Speaker 1>a TNA special. Now, there's a lot of climbing involved

<v Speaker 1>in this match, the Dame match, so it really does

<v Speaker 1>come down to who we land on. I don't want

<v Speaker 1>to be picking a fucking great colleague of being an

<v Speaker 1>Ultimate X match. So this is gonna be quite the

<v Speaker 1>test here. It all hinges upon this. Oh boy, Oh

<v Speaker 1>it's Vato Sting. Look, this will never this will never

<v Speaker 1>not be funny to me.

<v Speaker 2>I have no.

<v Speaker 1>Memory of this being a thing. I have no memory

<v Speaker 1>of this angle. I have no memory. I assume obviously

<v Speaker 1>he's dressed up as a member of LAX, but I

<v Speaker 1>don't remember the context. I don't remember anything about this.

<v Speaker 1>I just look at the image and I fucking laugh

<v Speaker 1>every single time. I think all the versions of Sting,

<v Speaker 1>this might be my favorite. But now we have Vatos.

<v Speaker 1>Sting has to climb like upside down basically for the

<v Speaker 1>ultimate Cholo Sting. Yes, yes, it's Votos. Come on, man,

<v Speaker 1>Vatos Sting against Roman Reigns the tribal chief, and it

<v Speaker 1>will be an Ultimate X match, and.

<v Speaker 2>That is indeed.

<v Speaker 1>A double sweep. Just trying to visualize this match, Roman

<v Speaker 1>reigns and Sting first of all, as a match, that

<v Speaker 1>would be awesome. But Roman reigns and Sting in an

<v Speaker 1>Ultimate X match, it'd be a miracle of nobody falls

<v Speaker 1>to their death. There you go. Two clean sweeps. You

<v Speaker 1>got it, Enjoy it. It doesn't happen very often. It's

<v Speaker 1>very rare. He could knock the X down with his bat,

<v Speaker 1>that's true, could hold on with one arm and then

<v Speaker 1>have the bat in the other arm and just yeah,

<v Speaker 1>but don't you have to have possession of the X dee.

<v Speaker 1>Like if he hits the EX and it falls to

<v Speaker 1>the floor, then it's whoever catches it, right, He could

<v Speaker 1>hit it with the X or he could hit it

<v Speaker 1>with the bat. It falls and Roman is just standing

<v Speaker 1>underneath it and catches it wins, So then that doesn't

<v Speaker 1>do him any good. We have got Brian Finelli's going on. Brian,

<v Speaker 1>that side Russian leg sweep was brought to you by Snickers,

<v Speaker 1>says Michael Cole. Well, how about this deal with ESPN

<v Speaker 1>where they're potentially going to simulcast major plees on the

<v Speaker 1>ESPN linear networks, which could include ESPN Proper and potentially

<v Speaker 1>even ABC. Imagine WrestleMania the main event being aired on ABC.

<v Speaker 1>In the middle of the match, like someone is thrown

<v Speaker 1>outside the ring and put a little box in the

<v Speaker 1>corner of the screen that says WrestleMania continues, they go

<v Speaker 1>to break in the middle of the WrestleMania main event.

<v Speaker 2>It's possible.

<v Speaker 1>It's possible. The yatagaratsu favorite female psycho gimmick was two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and two Victoria. She had the music, the facial expressions,

<v Speaker 1>and the aura and moveset of an axe murderer. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>she was an axe murderer. I liked it.

<v Speaker 2>Why she used to come out with the.

<v Speaker 1>Uh tattoo music, all the things she said, that's that's

<v Speaker 1>still my favorite theme of hers.

<v Speaker 2>What was the other one that started like uh with.

<v Speaker 1>That woman's voice, like whoa? What was that song? I

<v Speaker 1>ain't the lady to mess with? Right, it's like whoo,

<v Speaker 1>I ain't the lady to mess with? That one was okay,

<v Speaker 1>but all the things she said is still her best theme.

<v Speaker 1>Duffs VID's Blue Choo Chairs Hit Hard, Stay Hard. I

<v Speaker 1>like it.

<v Speaker 2>Actually, no, I hate it.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I don't want to see any

<v Speaker 1>of this. I don't want to will this into existence.

<v Speaker 1>Terrible dried Chicken home depot or Low's will be a

<v Speaker 1>sponsor for a ladder match? I two of them, Uh

<v Speaker 1>not far from from where I am, and I have

<v Speaker 1>to I have to say I've become a Low's guy,

<v Speaker 1>I find generally fine more of what I'm looking for

<v Speaker 1>in Low's than I do Home Depot. Larry Jester Slim

<v Speaker 1>Jim Kendo sticks would be better than tables. Well, I

<v Speaker 1>mean that would make more sense, wouldn't it, Because the

<v Speaker 1>kendo sticks kind of look like giant slim Jims. You

<v Speaker 1>could paint them. You could paint them brown or red.

<v Speaker 1>Thunder Force. Remember when Vince wouldn't allow Cmpunk to have

<v Speaker 1>sponsors on his ring gear. Yeah, that was many years ago.

<v Speaker 1>Brock came back though, and he had Jimmy Johns on

<v Speaker 1>his shorts because he had a pre existing agreement with them.

<v Speaker 1>He was the only one who was allowed that. No

<v Speaker 1>one else was allowed to have any sponsors of their own.

<v Speaker 1>Dry Chickens says Dax Harwood against Bobby Lashley. MVP is

<v Speaker 1>the referee, Stokely is the ring enforcer. Cash Wheeler and

<v Speaker 1>Shelton on commentary with X Caliber and Matt Fisher says,

<v Speaker 1>have a good night, guys, stay good, enjoy the nine

<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty four hours to go of wrestling this week,

<v Speaker 1>well after tonight it's nine hundred and thirty two. There

<v Speaker 1>is a lot of wrestling, but that's why we're here,

<v Speaker 1>all right. We're here to talk about all of it.

<v Speaker 1>In fact, that's what I'll be doing on Wednesday next

<v Speaker 1>time I'm live with you here on this channel, we'll

<v Speaker 1>be for the aw Dynamite post show, and then Friday

<v Speaker 1>night after SmackDown as well. Tomorrow night I'll be with

<v Speaker 1>JD on his channel for Tuesday Night Titans. So there's

<v Speaker 1>a lot of wrestling discussion yet to come this week.

<v Speaker 1>If you missed it, episode nineh God, what am I

<v Speaker 1>up to? Nine twenty four getting close to one thousand?

<v Speaker 1>Episode nine twenty four of the sound Off one up Yesterday.

<v Speaker 1>Great episode, great feedback, and we hit number two for

<v Speaker 1>all wrestling podcasts on all of Apple podcasts. We hit

<v Speaker 1>number two, which is very cool.

<v Speaker 2>So I thank you for that. If you missed it,

<v Speaker 2>go back and check that out.

<v Speaker 1>Sean de celebrating twenty eight months of membership, says the

<v Speaker 1>wwees going through like ad withdrawal from all the decades

<v Speaker 1>that Vince didn't want ads all over the Squared Circle

<v Speaker 1>now that he's gone, feels like it and shout out

<v Speaker 1>to Paul twenty eight months of membership as well. Just

<v Speaker 1>like Sean, you're like twins. It's like you joined at

<v Speaker 1>the same time. I've been watching a lot of old

<v Speaker 1>school wrestling NWA, very good stuff back in the day

<v Speaker 1>for being a lifelong WWF fan. Any favorite matches from

<v Speaker 1>that NWA days. Yeah, I mean one of my favorites

<v Speaker 1>is the cage match I quit. It was Tully Blanchard

<v Speaker 1>and magnum Ta for the US title. I don't remember

<v Speaker 1>what event it was. If it was Stark Star Kate,

<v Speaker 1>it was five, I forgot the event. That's a classic match.

<v Speaker 1>If you've never seen that one, definitely go check that out.

<v Speaker 1>I would also recommend to you because it's it's I mean,

<v Speaker 1>some of my favorite matches was just after they went

<v Speaker 1>from they pulled out of the NWA and so it

<v Speaker 1>was already WCW at that point, so it might not

<v Speaker 1>be exactly what you're looking for. Although, just to go

<v Speaker 1>back to the NWA for a second look, Sting and

<v Speaker 1>Flair had their classic match at the first Clash of

<v Speaker 1>the Champions in eighty eight, right that forty five minute draw.

<v Speaker 1>Lex Luger during that period when he was the United

<v Speaker 1>States Champion, Lex Luger had some really good matches. I

<v Speaker 1>want to say with Ricky Steamboat, but also he had

<v Speaker 1>a match with Flair. I think it was after Sting

<v Speaker 1>hurt his knee. That would have been nineteen ninety. But

<v Speaker 1>if you want to see some cool shit that you

<v Speaker 1>probably never saw if you were a WWF fan, only

<v Speaker 1>Wrestle War ninety two. There's a War Games match best Wargames,

<v Speaker 1>my favorite War Games match of all time, Sting Squadron

<v Speaker 1>against the Dangerous Alliance led by Paul Hayman Paulie Dangerously.

<v Speaker 2>The Wargames matches.

<v Speaker 1>They did in ninety one at Wrestle War and ninety two,

<v Speaker 1>both of them, but ninety two to me is better

<v Speaker 1>than ninety one. And then in ninety two there was

<v Speaker 1>a series of matches between Sting and Big Van Vader.

<v Speaker 1>Fucking awesome. One of my favorite series of matches. If

<v Speaker 1>you want the ultimate classic trilogy, though, you got to

<v Speaker 1>go back to eighty nine in the NWA. Those were

<v Speaker 1>the Rick Flair Ricky Steamboat matches, Shytown Rumble, wrestll War

<v Speaker 1>eighty nine. Oh god, what was the other one? Shit?

<v Speaker 1>I forgot, but the three matches that they are most

<v Speaker 1>well known for in eighty nine. If you've never seen those,

<v Speaker 1>then you need to stop what you're doing and go

<v Speaker 1>watch those. So definitely make sure that's on your list. Ah. Yes, Roderick,

<v Speaker 1>thank you, says Luger. Steamboat was on Bad eighty nine two. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you know again. People will give Luger shit. He was

<v Speaker 1>not the best n ring worker, but you go back

<v Speaker 1>and watch his work from the late eighties, like especially

<v Speaker 1>eighty nine, maybe eighty eight, eighty nine, he was really

<v Speaker 1>good and he has some really good matches, And I

<v Speaker 1>feel like there were people who say shit that never

<v Speaker 1>actually saw him work during those years. So if you've

<v Speaker 1>never seen it, it's worth going out of your way

<v Speaker 1>to go check it out for the first time. Ah. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>Flare and Steamboa, that's right. Clash of the Champions in

<v Speaker 1>New Orleans, thank you. Yep. Rick Flair and Terry Funk

<v Speaker 1>had a great eye quit match. Clash of the Champions

<v Speaker 1>that was New York Knockout I think was the subtitle

<v Speaker 1>right of that show that was in eighty nine. Yep, absolutely,

<v Speaker 1>Vader two. I got to give Vader as flowers Man.

<v Speaker 1>Vader's matches during that period, Vaders matches with Sting, Vaders

<v Speaker 1>match with Rick Flair at starkd in ninety three, Vaders

<v Speaker 1>matches with Cactus Jack, especially their Halloween Havoc match. Sting's

<v Speaker 1>match with Cactus Jack at Beach Blast in ninety two,

<v Speaker 1>that's another one. Rick Rude during that period had a

<v Speaker 1>great run of matches in WCW, you know, against Sting

<v Speaker 1>and against Flair, and Yeah, it was a lot of

<v Speaker 1>good stuff back then, and I didn't appreciate it myself

<v Speaker 1>until years later, because, like you, I was younger and

<v Speaker 1>I was watching WWF. I just wasn't. I was paying

<v Speaker 1>attention to the kind of what was going on in WCW,

<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't really a WCW fan. But there was

<v Speaker 1>a lot of good stuff that I only got to

<v Speaker 1>really experience many years later. Yeah, Rude and Steamboat Ruden.

<v Speaker 1>Steamboat had an iron Man match, didn't they. I think

<v Speaker 1>it was a thirty minute ironmn match. Barry Wyndham, sure, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Barry Wyndham and Flair. God when Flair's DVD set, that

<v Speaker 1>Triple dis DVD set came out many many years ago,

<v Speaker 1>I think the match that I'm thinking of with Flair

<v Speaker 1>and Wyndham is on there. Whatever event that was, that

<v Speaker 1>was a great one too. Stinging Luger against the Steiners. Yep,

<v Speaker 1>that was Super Bowl. I think that was the first

<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. I think that was the very first one.

<v Speaker 1>I've always said, you know, I got a question before

<v Speaker 1>asking me. Might have been from God who sent the

<v Speaker 1>question in I already forgot. Oh God, it was uh

<v Speaker 1>is a cameo cameo John and sent that question before

<v Speaker 1>I think about my top fantasy matches. You've heard me

<v Speaker 1>in the past say this before. I've I know I've

<v Speaker 1>said it multiple times because I've been asked about it

<v Speaker 1>in the mail bag. Like the ultimate fantasy warfare match,

<v Speaker 1>like both guys in their prime, Big Van Vader early

<v Speaker 1>nineties against Brock Lesner, and it honestly, it could be

<v Speaker 1>Brock from the first run, or it could be Brock

<v Speaker 1>when he first came back in twenty twelve. I would

<v Speaker 1>prefer the Brock where he did more than just supplexes.

<v Speaker 1>But even if you took that version of Brock, the

<v Speaker 1>supplex city Brock from the mid twenty tens, Brock Lesner

<v Speaker 1>and Vader, put those two fucking guys in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Holy shit match that would have been. That would have

<v Speaker 1>been fantastic. That to be the Booker match right there

<v Speaker 1>that we've never landed on. But one day, one day

<v Speaker 1>we have to Cecil Robinson. You should have a sound

<v Speaker 1>effect for two clean sweeps. I should, you know what

<v Speaker 1>I always envision maybe the Mario sound effect when you

<v Speaker 1>when you get the mushroom or a flower like that

<v Speaker 1>power up noise. That might be a good one. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I should.

<v Speaker 2>Vader would eat him alive.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I know about eat him alive.

<v Speaker 2>I'm not so sure about that.

<v Speaker 1>Do brawl for all? Prime Brock against Prime Vader.

<v Speaker 2>Brawl for all.

<v Speaker 1>Brock's got the UFC, He's got the fight experience. Vader

<v Speaker 1>didn't have that. Vader was just a big dude who

<v Speaker 1>hit hard, but that's about it. But he was a

<v Speaker 1>lot bigger though, I mean he weighed more. I guess

<v Speaker 1>if he wanted a smother and just kind of put

<v Speaker 1>all of his weight on him and kind of wear

<v Speaker 1>him down that way.

<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know how like a fight would have looked

<v Speaker 1>between those two. Yeah, those are, but you know what,

<v Speaker 1>those would be my two. I think those would be

<v Speaker 1>my top two right there. Brett Hardtigainst Kurt Angle and

<v Speaker 1>Prime Brock against Prime Vader. Sign me up for those? Uh,

<v Speaker 1>Navy forty one eighty one on the Sound of You

<v Speaker 1>mentioned Super WrestleMania. Did you have it on Genesis? The

<v Speaker 1>SNS had no finishers or champions Mode until later with Royal.

<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure I had it on I think I

<v Speaker 1>had it on I'm pretty sure I had it on

<v Speaker 1>Super Nes. I know I had Raw on Genesis when

<v Speaker 1>that Raw game came out in ninety four that had

<v Speaker 1>Diesel and I think Bambaan was in there.

<v Speaker 2>But I'm pretty sure.

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania, the RC game, Super WrestleMania, I think that stuff

<v Speaker 1>was on the Super Nes For me, all all fuck up?

<v Speaker 1>Fuck that tree? Hey, luis planting a tree? Wwe really

<v Speaker 1>dropped the ball with carrying Cross. Should he and Scarlet

<v Speaker 1>go to TNA or ae W or Scarlet should join

<v Speaker 1>Wow Women of Wrestling. Well, I mean, if they can

<v Speaker 1>get a you know, financially an offer that they are

<v Speaker 1>are happy with. I do feel like TNA would probably

<v Speaker 1>be a good landing spot for them. For Cross, I think,

<v Speaker 1>you know, there's there's multiple options for him. I think

<v Speaker 1>he'll kill it doing indies for a while, so I

<v Speaker 1>I don't even think he needs to necessarily be in

<v Speaker 1>any kind of a rush to sign a contract anywhere.

<v Speaker 1>I think he's got a very lucrative, very successful indie

<v Speaker 1>run for him. But ultimately, if he doesn't end up

<v Speaker 1>just going back to WWE, I think TNA would probably

<v Speaker 1>be the prime landing spot for him. And again it

<v Speaker 1>would give him a gateway back into WWE if that's

<v Speaker 1>his ultimate goal. And keep in mind, now, this is

<v Speaker 1>the second time that he has been effectively let go.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, his contract expired in this case, so it's

<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not like they released him, but they

<v Speaker 1>basically said, hey, we don't want to resign to you.

<v Speaker 1>That's what happens when they let your contract expire. Previously

<v Speaker 1>he had been released, And I've said this about other

<v Speaker 1>people like braun Stroman, people who have been released multiple times.

<v Speaker 1>Like you also kind of asked the question like do

<v Speaker 1>you want to go back? You know, it's one thing

<v Speaker 1>when it happens to you once, when it happens to

<v Speaker 1>you twice, you know, when it happens to you multiple times,

<v Speaker 1>do you even want to go back and work for

<v Speaker 1>those people again? You know? But WWE is still the

<v Speaker 1>biggest game in town, and the ones that will probably

<v Speaker 1>be able to pay the most money. I mean not

<v Speaker 1>that Tony Kahm pays peanuts to his talent. But they're

<v Speaker 1>the biggest game in town. That's why everybody desires to

<v Speaker 1>go there. But it's got a sting, you know, when

<v Speaker 1>you end up going back and then you end up

<v Speaker 1>on the outside again, and it's like, do I go

<v Speaker 1>back again? Or you know, clearly these people don't really

<v Speaker 1>appreciate me for what I bring to the tables, so

<v Speaker 1>I'd rather be somewhere else.

<v Speaker 2>Again.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going through his head on that front,

<v Speaker 1>but I feel like that's what would be going through

<v Speaker 1>my head, you know, and I would be upset about that.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't necessarily want to work for these people anymore.

<v Speaker 1>They don't appreciate what I bring to the table. I'll

<v Speaker 1>take my services somewhere else, you know. That would be

<v Speaker 1>my attitude. Power spying games Roaman against reed sneakers on

<v Speaker 1>a pole bro no poles, no poles. Maybe we do

<v Speaker 1>it the way they do it here in New York,

<v Speaker 1>where you can actually set two poles up, but you

<v Speaker 1>don't have to climb the poles, but you set two

<v Speaker 1>poles up like here with the power lines you always see.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is how it is where

<v Speaker 1>you are. But you'll be driving down the street and

<v Speaker 1>it's not like this on every street, but you will

<v Speaker 1>find streets where there is a pair of sneakers tied

<v Speaker 1>together right in the middle of a power line above

<v Speaker 1>the street. And so maybe they could set two poles

<v Speaker 1>up in the ring and then just have well, I

<v Speaker 1>guess there's two pairs, but you can just tie them

<v Speaker 1>and they're just hanging from the middle. I feel right

<v Speaker 1>at home, super Pony. Is there any chance this cross

<v Speaker 1>thing is a work?

<v Speaker 2>Brother?

<v Speaker 1>It's pro wrestling. I wouldn't bet my life on it,

<v Speaker 1>but I am telling you it is not a work,

<v Speaker 1>you know, just one last thing on the cross stuff.

<v Speaker 1>Like I even talked about it on the sound off.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that in the end there was either an

<v Speaker 1>offer made or there would be an offer made and

<v Speaker 1>he would stay. And I figured that's ultimately how it

<v Speaker 1>would resolve. You know, they would see that there's this

<v Speaker 1>ground swell of support and they could certainly find a

<v Speaker 1>spot for him on the roster. And it appears that

<v Speaker 1>is not the case. And so.

<v Speaker 2>I hope for his sake.

<v Speaker 1>And I saw the video he put out yesterday, which

<v Speaker 1>was very well done, and he has a special connection

<v Speaker 1>with his fans. He has a lot of fans out there,

<v Speaker 1>and he has a special connection with them. And I

<v Speaker 1>hope that he is able to grow that. I hope

<v Speaker 1>that the buzz around him in the momentum that he

<v Speaker 1>has right now can continue wherever he goes, wherever he lands,

<v Speaker 1>and that he could parlay that into something because honestly,

<v Speaker 1>even if he would have ended up back in WWE,

<v Speaker 1>it's very apparent to me, even though Triple H is

<v Speaker 1>the one who brought him in scarlet back, it's very

<v Speaker 1>apparent to me that they do not want to push

<v Speaker 1>him in any serious way. I mean that that's again,

<v Speaker 1>if Triple H really wanted to do something major with him,

<v Speaker 1>he had the chance to do so, he opted not to,

<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever his rationale.

<v Speaker 2>Whatever his reasoning was for doing so or not doing so.

<v Speaker 1>But I hope it all works out for him because

<v Speaker 1>his other places to work and WWE is not the

<v Speaker 1>only game in town. Life does not end just because

<v Speaker 1>WWE is not interested in you. And I think he's

<v Speaker 1>smart enough to understand that, and I think he's going

<v Speaker 1>to do very well for himself. Like I said, you know,

<v Speaker 1>kind of booking his own events in the meantime, and

<v Speaker 1>then ultimately wherever he wants to end up, hopefully he'll

<v Speaker 1>be able to take this and it'll carry over there

<v Speaker 1>and he'll have a little more freedom maybe to do

<v Speaker 1>the kind of things that he wants to do that

<v Speaker 1>maybe he wouldn't have had in WWE. So I wish

<v Speaker 1>him well. I hope it all works out. Do I again,

<v Speaker 1>do I think it's a work. I don't see what's

<v Speaker 1>accomplished at this point. If it is, like there's so

<v Speaker 1>many reports out there now about people in corporate positions

<v Speaker 1>in WWE. Wrestle Votes had something saying that even the

<v Speaker 1>corporate side is of the impression he and Scarlet are gone, So.

<v Speaker 2>What are they are they working the corporate side, They're

<v Speaker 2>working the.

<v Speaker 1>Roster, Like you get to a point, we just went

<v Speaker 1>through this with the seth Rollins stuff, like at some

<v Speaker 1>point it's just stupid. It doesn't serve any real purpose.

<v Speaker 1>You know, you're just sowing the seeds of disrespect or

<v Speaker 1>not disrespect, but distrust with people within the organization. And

<v Speaker 1>I don't see, frankly, if it was to be a work,

<v Speaker 1>which again I don't believe it is, and then he

<v Speaker 1>should up one day like okay, like what is even

<v Speaker 1>accomplished by it? It's just if it's a work, it's

<v Speaker 1>a very stupid work. So no, it is not a work.

<v Speaker 1>In WWE wrestling and gaming, how would you book a

<v Speaker 1>Vader title reign very similar to the one he had

<v Speaker 1>in WCW, where you know, you feed him opponents that

<v Speaker 1>he can go in there and have great matches with.

<v Speaker 1>And I don't think that's people who are necessarily bigger

<v Speaker 1>than him. There aren't too many people on the roster

<v Speaker 1>today that would be bigger than Vader. You feed him

<v Speaker 1>the right opponents, and I think he can go in

<v Speaker 1>there and have some great matches, some classic matches, David

<v Speaker 1>and Goliath type matches, But he goes on a dominant

<v Speaker 1>run and you book him as champion for a solid

<v Speaker 1>year with him as the monster on top until you

<v Speaker 1>settle on that baby face that you want to be

<v Speaker 1>the guy right like Sting was back in the day.

<v Speaker 1>Who's gonna slay the beast, slay the dragon and be

<v Speaker 1>able to topple this guy and you just carefully build

<v Speaker 1>to that moment. You know, Vader is that final boss

<v Speaker 1>kind of guy. So I put that championship on him

<v Speaker 1>for at least a year and let him just fucking

<v Speaker 1>rip through the roster, not squash everybody again. You want

<v Speaker 1>him to go in there and have good competitive matches,

<v Speaker 1>but you know he has to be dominant. He could

<v Speaker 1>be that dominant Monster champion for a while, and then

<v Speaker 1>you build to your hero, the guy that you want

<v Speaker 1>to build the company around, being the one to beat him.

<v Speaker 1>It's simple as that. It's not rocket science. Just finding

<v Speaker 1>the right people that could be the hard part. Sometimes

<v Speaker 1>the rest of it should be easy. Once you have

<v Speaker 1>the people, you have the pieces. You just got to

<v Speaker 1>put him in place. But thank you brother anyway, Be well,

<v Speaker 1>stay safe. Every sells a great night. Go check out

<v Speaker 1>episode nine twenty four if you have not already done so.

<v Speaker 1>If you have, go listen to it again and I

<v Speaker 1>will see you back here on this channel on Wednesday

<v Speaker 1>night for the Dynamite Post Show and on Tuesday Night

<v Speaker 1>Titans tomorrow night. Until then, take care, guys,
