<v Speaker 1>WWE was in Paris for the final ple here in

<v Speaker 1>the month of August, the final ple on Peacock, thirty

<v Speaker 1>thousand fans in the La Defense Arena, the all time

<v Speaker 1>gate record, they said. They announced this during the show

<v Speaker 1>and everybody cheered because we set the all time gate record.

<v Speaker 1>So they're very expensive tickets. Apparently everybody was very happy

<v Speaker 1>about that. That will never get old. That will never

<v Speaker 1>get old. Nothing like bragging about how much money you

<v Speaker 1>charge people and when you set the all time gate record,

<v Speaker 1>they all cheer you for it. But that's what we

<v Speaker 1>got here tonight that they were also on Peacock for

<v Speaker 1>the final time for a main roster ple. The NXT

<v Speaker 1>shows will be continuing on Peacock if you did not

<v Speaker 1>know from now on Don's ESPN, starting with Wressell Palooza

<v Speaker 1>in a few weeks and tonight in the main event

<v Speaker 1>without anybody out there to help him, Paul Hayman taking

<v Speaker 1>out bron Breaker Bronson Reed banned from the building. Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins was all by himself defending the World Heavyweight Championship

<v Speaker 1>in a fatal four way match against CM Punk, La

<v Speaker 1>Knight and jay Uso. He was going to go it alone.

<v Speaker 1>Except he didn't and the big reveal at the end

<v Speaker 1>of the show, because there were some murmurs going on

<v Speaker 1>about them maybe having some kind of big reveal or

<v Speaker 1>some kind of big angle here for the end of

<v Speaker 1>the show. I tried to stay away from that, but

<v Speaker 1>I saw that was floating around turned out to be

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch dressed like a ninja. Remember years ago when

<v Speaker 1>we had this influx of ninjas in WWE, everybody dressing

<v Speaker 1>up like a ninja. The ninja tonight turned out to

<v Speaker 1>be Becky Lynch coming to her husband's aid. Seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>stomps cm punk. I've lost track of how many times

<v Speaker 1>he has stomped this man's face into the ground, going

<v Speaker 1>back to the beginning of the year, It's happened a lot.

<v Speaker 1>And he pinned cm punk to retain the World Heavyweight

<v Speaker 1>champion ship. You know, I don't hate pairing Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>and Seth Rollins together on TV. I don't you know.

<v Speaker 1>There was a time many years ago when Vince McMahon

<v Speaker 1>put them together on TV as baby faces, and it

<v Speaker 1>was an absolute fail. Seriously, it just it did not work.

<v Speaker 1>It made Becky, who was this cool character at the time,

<v Speaker 1>just made her so uncool. This is different though now

<v Speaker 1>they're both heels. Becky has been very entertaining largely since

<v Speaker 1>coming back and going heel and this Intercontinental title run

<v Speaker 1>that she's been on. So I don't know if the

<v Speaker 1>idea is to keep them together as a permanent pairing.

<v Speaker 1>If Becky Lynch is now officially a member of the Vision,

<v Speaker 1>we don't know that it could have just been a

<v Speaker 1>one night only thing because Seth had nobody else and

<v Speaker 1>so his wife came to the rescue here. I suspect

<v Speaker 1>that we will get them on television for a while.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's a one night thing. But whether

<v Speaker 1>or not that makes her an official member of the

<v Speaker 1>Vision or not, I hope so, I actually hope so.

<v Speaker 1>I think getting a female voice in there is not

<v Speaker 1>a bad idea. Becky is the most obvious person in

<v Speaker 1>that spot, so I didn't mind that so much. Outside

<v Speaker 1>of what happened there at the end, that being the

<v Speaker 1>most newsworthy element of the match, the main event didn't

<v Speaker 1>do anything for me. You know what did though, John

<v Speaker 1>Cena and Logan Paul Because a couple of weeks ago

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown, John Cena went out there on TV, and

<v Speaker 1>he got the best promo of his entire retirement run.

<v Speaker 1>I mean he went out there and he put over

<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul, but he also laced into him and like

<v Speaker 1>a surgeon, you know, with a scalpel, and he was

<v Speaker 1>taking him apart, piece by piece in a way that

<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen John Cena do on the MIC in

<v Speaker 1>a very long time. And then on SmackDown this week,

<v Speaker 1>he had another very strong promo, not as good as

<v Speaker 1>the week before, but it was the promo work that

<v Speaker 1>really got me invested in this match, as invested as

<v Speaker 1>I could be in a John Cena Logan Paul match.

<v Speaker 1>And then these two guys went out there for twenty

<v Speaker 1>six minutes and they threw everything at each other that

<v Speaker 1>they could possibly throw. They stole every move that they

<v Speaker 1>possibly could from other people that John Cena has wrestled,

<v Speaker 1>wrestlers and other companies. I mean, that's a Logan Paul thing. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>they threw everything at each other for twenty six minutes.

<v Speaker 1>I will say it hit me when the match was over.

<v Speaker 1>John Cena just wrapped up the month of August with

<v Speaker 1>the two best matches of his entire retirement runs so far,

<v Speaker 1>one of which was a thirty seven minute banger with

<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhoades. The other one was a twenty six minute

<v Speaker 1>match here on this show with Logan Paul. Now, imagine

<v Speaker 1>if we would have gotten this John Cena instead of

<v Speaker 1>what we got with that failed heel run for five

<v Speaker 1>months almost half of John Cena's retirement year, feels like

<v Speaker 1>it was. But in the month of August here we

<v Speaker 1>got two matches that John Cena was able to go

<v Speaker 1>out there and almost turn back the hands of time

<v Speaker 1>and show that, you know what, he's not totally washed.

<v Speaker 1>You know, he still may not be the John Cena

<v Speaker 1>of twenty fifteen, that was ten years ago. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>saying he's that same guy. He isn't, and he hasn't

<v Speaker 1>been for a while. But there was a period of

<v Speaker 1>time there, especially during the early part of the heel rung,

<v Speaker 1>where it just looked like John Cena had regressed so

<v Speaker 1>much that unless he was in the ring with somebody

<v Speaker 1>who was going to be able to go out there

<v Speaker 1>and really just carry the load, does he even have

<v Speaker 1>it in him to have a singles match that long

<v Speaker 1>thirty seven minutes, twenty six minutes. If you would have

<v Speaker 1>told me that a month and a half ago, two

<v Speaker 1>months ago, that John Cen is going to go out

<v Speaker 1>there and have matches that are that long. Believe me,

<v Speaker 1>those would have been the last matches in the car

<v Speaker 1>that I would have been looking forward to seeing. I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>what are you out of your mind? You're gonna send

<v Speaker 1>John Cena out there in a singles match for twenty

<v Speaker 1>six minutes. But he's proven a lot of people wrong

<v Speaker 1>this month, and a lot of it does come down

<v Speaker 1>to who he's in the ring with. Cody Rhades did

<v Speaker 1>a great job in their match together at Summer Slim.

<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul carried his end of the bargain, did a

<v Speaker 1>great job in this match as well, just like he

<v Speaker 1>did earlier in the month at Summer Slim in the

<v Speaker 1>tag team match when he beat Jelly Roll, who was

<v Speaker 1>there tonight. Jelly Roll was there in the front row.

<v Speaker 1>The John Cena Logan Paul match was the match of

<v Speaker 1>the night. The second best match of the night belongs

<v Speaker 1>to Seamus and Russev, who had a good old fashioned

<v Speaker 1>Donnie Brook match. I applaud both men for at least

<v Speaker 1>getting a pl E spot. I mean, they couldn't get

<v Speaker 1>a PLA match if they would have held Triple H

<v Speaker 1>at gunpoint, but they got one here and they made

<v Speaker 1>the most of it. We also had Becky Lynch and

<v Speaker 1>Nikki Bella, which was the exact opposite of what we

<v Speaker 1>got in those two matches. It was easily the worst

<v Speaker 1>thing on the entire show. And then we had the

<v Speaker 1>WWE tag team titles were on the line. We had

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns in Bronson Reid. They had a match Roman

<v Speaker 1>trying to get his shoes back, and it was all

<v Speaker 1>to build to a big injury angle when the match

<v Speaker 1>was over. Because Roman has to go film Street Fighter.

<v Speaker 1>He's got a go away for a while. In fact,

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be gone basically the entire month of September.

<v Speaker 1>I think his last day of filming is supposed to

<v Speaker 1>be September twenty sixth. So this was their way of

<v Speaker 1>sending him on his way by having him destroyed by

<v Speaker 1>Seth's goons and do a stretcher job and he was

<v Speaker 1>taken out of the building. So that's how that ended there.

<v Speaker 1>This was a two match show. Sena and Logan and

<v Speaker 1>the good old fashioned Donnie Brook and the rest was

<v Speaker 1>pretty average stuff. It was newsworthy for the little twist

<v Speaker 1>at the end there with Becky Lynch, which is going

<v Speaker 1>to get a lot of people rightfully makes sense right

<v Speaker 1>talking about the potential for an aj Lee return. People

<v Speaker 1>have been asking me about aj Lee for the last

<v Speaker 1>couple of years since Punk came back. Is she coming back?

<v Speaker 1>Is she going to be in the rumble? Is she

<v Speaker 1>going to be an evolution? I've got so many questions.

<v Speaker 1>I've seen so many tweets online about aj Lee over

<v Speaker 1>the last few years, and it never happens. You know,

<v Speaker 1>it never comes to fruition. This is the first time

<v Speaker 1>where there's a built in storyline just ready in waiting

<v Speaker 1>that makes all the sense in the world for her

<v Speaker 1>to be there. I don't know if she is or not.

<v Speaker 1>If you were to ask me, do I think this

<v Speaker 1>is where she comes in? I think it is. But

<v Speaker 1>anybody who tells you they know for sure until it

<v Speaker 1>gets reported by a reputable outlet is lying to you.

<v Speaker 1>They don't know for sure, because if she really truly

<v Speaker 1>wanted to come back, she would have been back by now.

<v Speaker 1>But boy, based on what they did here on this show,

<v Speaker 1>it sure feels like there's a mixed tag team match

<v Speaker 1>just waiting right there. It's ready in waiting. All they

<v Speaker 1>need is the high sign in the green light from

<v Speaker 1>aj Lee that she's ready to come on in and

<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about things that happened and what was said

<v Speaker 1>in the main event by Seth Rollins. That seems to

<v Speaker 1>indicate that that's probably what we're gonna get. But again,

<v Speaker 1>outside of those two matches and a couple of newsworthy

<v Speaker 1>things with the Roman injury angle and the Becky stuff

<v Speaker 1>at the end, not a show that you really need

<v Speaker 1>to go out of your way to see. Pretty average

<v Speaker 1>stuff otherwise, And so ends the Peacock Era when it

<v Speaker 1>comes to these shows, and the Peacock Era doesn't really

<v Speaker 1>go out with a whimper. It doesn't really go out

<v Speaker 1>with a bang, if I had to describe it. It

<v Speaker 1>goes out with more of a shoulder shrug. This is

<v Speaker 1>your clash in Paris, twenty twenty five review. I Am

<v Speaker 1>the Solemn Monster. It is the final day of August.

<v Speaker 1>It is Sunday, August thirty first, twenty twenty five. I

<v Speaker 1>Am the Solemn Monster. Thank you for hanging out with

<v Speaker 1>me here on a Sunday. Usually its sound off Sunday

<v Speaker 1>podcast went up a day early because of this show.

<v Speaker 1>Back to back weekends of Sunday afternoon pay per views.

<v Speaker 1>Hit that subscribe button, hit that like button. We do

<v Speaker 1>have a goal going in the chat. If we want

<v Speaker 1>to do potentially a bonus round to be the booker,

<v Speaker 1>to yet be the booker, we need at least four

<v Speaker 1>hundred likes here on the stream, So hit that thumbs up.

<v Speaker 1>I did mention also super chats are open if your

<v Speaker 1>messages come on in. I'll be reading those. A little

<v Speaker 1>bit later on, I mentioned the SoundOff went up a

<v Speaker 1>day early. One of the things talked about on the show,

<v Speaker 1>very interesting question that was submitted as part of the

<v Speaker 1>mailbag is Roman Reign's a hypocrite for saying in a

<v Speaker 1>recent interview with Stephanie McMahon that it was easier to

<v Speaker 1>get over as a top star in the Attitude era

<v Speaker 1>that it's a lot harder today to get over as

<v Speaker 1>a top star in WWE. It's a very interesting question

<v Speaker 1>I talked about that. That's one of many things covered

<v Speaker 1>on episode nine twenty seven. We have not had the

<v Speaker 1>chance to listen to yet. You can do so when

<v Speaker 1>we are done here with this review. So let's get

<v Speaker 1>into it. Here. They were in Paris, France. They had

<v Speaker 1>a custom Eiffel tower. You know, it's rare these days

<v Speaker 1>outside of WrestleMania that you get any kind of custom

<v Speaker 1>they just designed. It's just everything is just so bland,

<v Speaker 1>and there's just a sameness to it all. They don't

<v Speaker 1>put the same level of effort, and you know, obviously

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it cost them a pretty penny to put

<v Speaker 1>these together, but you just don't see that effort being

<v Speaker 1>put in much anymore. So I can appreciate it, and

<v Speaker 1>I want to call it out when they do it

<v Speaker 1>because I think it's really cool and I wish it's

<v Speaker 1>something they would do more of when they do some

<v Speaker 1>kind of custom element for the sets, especially if it

<v Speaker 1>ties into the location, and they did that here. They

<v Speaker 1>had a custom Eiffel tower entranceway for the talent when

<v Speaker 1>they walked out to the ring. Again, I will I

<v Speaker 1>will be first in line to lobby for custom entrances

<v Speaker 1>here for these shows custom sets. They opened with Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns jerking the curtain here on this show, but I mean,

<v Speaker 1>obviously for what happened in the main event, it kind

<v Speaker 1>of had to happen this way, one on one with

<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reid. Whereas they call it the tribal chief again,

<v Speaker 1>the tribal thief. Roman coming out got that megastar reaction

<v Speaker 1>as you would expect. They sang to him, they showed

<v Speaker 1>jelly roll post malone. They were sitting in the front row,

<v Speaker 1>right behind the announcers. So early in the match, Roman

<v Speaker 1>lifted Reid up on his shoulders almost, you know, like

<v Speaker 1>in a Samoan drop position, but he did so very slowly,

<v Speaker 1>couldn't support his weight, collapsed under the weight. You know,

<v Speaker 1>Bronton Reid has actually slimmed down quite a bit. I'm

<v Speaker 1>not saying he's not a big guy anymore, but he

<v Speaker 1>actually has slimmed down noticeably. So outside the ring, Reid

<v Speaker 1>slam Roman onto the announced desk. Rains bounds back. He

<v Speaker 1>cleared off the table, read Though clotheslined him before he

<v Speaker 1>could do anything. Back in the ring, Rains ran at red,

<v Speaker 1>read though, caught him and hit a world strongest slam.

<v Speaker 1>So then Reid worked always exciting chinlock for a while.

<v Speaker 1>Roman worked out of it, read though caught him with

<v Speaker 1>a Samoan drop. Paul was out there. I should point

<v Speaker 1>out that Paul Hayman was out there. He had the

<v Speaker 1>shula fala around his neck, so bron Breaker was nowhere

<v Speaker 1>to be found, but Paul Hayman hands read the shoe

<v Speaker 1>La falla and read is posing inside the ring With it,

<v Speaker 1>he tried to take off roman shoe. Rains, though kicked

<v Speaker 1>him away. Roman eventually closedline, Read over the top rope

<v Speaker 1>and out to the floor. Rains landed a drive by,

<v Speaker 1>and then he threw Read into the ring. Steps back inside.

<v Speaker 1>Roman set up for a Superman punch Read They'll caught him,

<v Speaker 1>slammed him before he could hit or before hitting a

<v Speaker 1>running sent on, so Reid lifted him up. Roman, though

<v Speaker 1>elbowed his way out of it, rolled Read up for

<v Speaker 1>a near fall. Roman went for another Superman punch and

<v Speaker 1>Bronton caught him. Countered into a death valley driver for

<v Speaker 1>a two count with Rains on the outside. Now, Reid

<v Speaker 1>went for a dive before he could actually dive through

<v Speaker 1>the ropes, though Roman caught him with a punch. I

<v Speaker 1>think it was a Superman punch. Rains followed that up

<v Speaker 1>with a proper Superman punch, but it was only good

<v Speaker 1>enough for a two count. Rains went for a spear,

<v Speaker 1>Reid caught him, dispatched him to the outside, where Reid

<v Speaker 1>did finally hit a suicide dive back inside, Reid went

<v Speaker 1>for a tsunami splash. Roman moved out of the way.

<v Speaker 1>Roman went for a spear, Reid caught him. He just

<v Speaker 1>I love how he just literally just stopped him, Like

<v Speaker 1>Roman is coming in for the spear, and Reed just

<v Speaker 1>stops him. Deadness tracks and delivers a sit out power

<v Speaker 1>bomb for a good near fall. Reid went to the top.

<v Speaker 1>Roman cut him off with a punch and Roman followed

<v Speaker 1>up with a Superman punch and a Samoan drop from

<v Speaker 1>the middle row. And then all it took was one

<v Speaker 1>rains hits a spear and he gets the three count.

<v Speaker 1>Roman reigns defeats Bronson Reed little over twenty minutes in.

<v Speaker 1>They had a solid match. You know, it was elevated

<v Speaker 1>by the crowd, and the crowd was really the third

<v Speaker 1>man as they call it, for the entire night. There

<v Speaker 1>was stuff on this show. They were quiet for We'll

<v Speaker 1>talk about that women's match here in a little bit,

<v Speaker 1>But the crowd was as animated all night as you

<v Speaker 1>would expect them to be. They were doing their chance,

<v Speaker 1>they were singing, they were having a good time. So

<v Speaker 1>when you have a hot crowd like that, it can

<v Speaker 1>take a good match and elevate it to a very

<v Speaker 1>good match. It could take a solid match and elevate

<v Speaker 1>it to a pretty good match. And that's kind of

<v Speaker 1>how I felt about this match here. It was solid.

<v Speaker 1>You know, I've seen both have more exciting matches and

<v Speaker 1>be part of more exciting matches, but the crowd helped

<v Speaker 1>elevate it a little bit more. Here's the thing about

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns has become a master at getting

<v Speaker 1>the most out of the bare minimum with what he does.

<v Speaker 1>He really doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. He

<v Speaker 1>doesn't really take any risks beyond the normal risks that

<v Speaker 1>you would see him take in the course of a match,

<v Speaker 1>and he just knows how to milk a reaction. This

<v Speaker 1>is what Hogan became a master of. It's like when

<v Speaker 1>you would see Hogan go to Japan, he was working

<v Speaker 1>a totally different style because he knew it was a

<v Speaker 1>different audience. But in front of the audience here, he

<v Speaker 1>knew the kind of match that people were looking for,

<v Speaker 1>so sure he could do more, but he did have to.

<v Speaker 1>He can get away with doing only what he needed

<v Speaker 1>to do, and in his own way, that's what Roman

<v Speaker 1>reigns after all these years, has mastered You know, he

<v Speaker 1>only needs to do what he needs to do and

<v Speaker 1>he will get a reaction no matter what, because they

<v Speaker 1>were cheering and chanting and singing for him the entire

<v Speaker 1>time here in this match. The match itself had a

<v Speaker 1>very deliberate pace and made it very slow in parts.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say it was ever boring. I think deliberate

<v Speaker 1>is a good word for it. But the real story

<v Speaker 1>came after the match. It wasn't even the match itself,

<v Speaker 1>it's what happened afterwards. Rains was posing on top of

<v Speaker 1>the announced desk outside and Paul Hammon is in the

<v Speaker 1>ring and he's kneeling down and he's tending to brons

<v Speaker 1>and rec and Roman turns around and he sees it.

<v Speaker 1>So he goes back into the ring and he's stalking

<v Speaker 1>Paul Haman. Hayman doesn't realize that he's in the ring

<v Speaker 1>until he does, until he turns around, and then he

<v Speaker 1>sees Roman, and now he is begging for his life.

<v Speaker 1>He's begging, he's pleading, he's all terrified and he's screaming,

<v Speaker 1>I love you, my tribal chief. Haman then acknowledges Roman

<v Speaker 1>and he removes the shoe la Falla from his neck

<v Speaker 1>and he hands the shoola Falla to Roman Reigns, who

<v Speaker 1>accepts it and then raises it into the air and

<v Speaker 1>everybody cheers. Roman then drops it. He grabs Hayman and

<v Speaker 1>he locks him in the guillotine and he's sinching it

<v Speaker 1>in and Hayman is flailing and he's tapping, and he's

<v Speaker 1>flailing in his tat and at the very end, you know,

<v Speaker 1>he goes limp and Roman lets him go, and Hayman

<v Speaker 1>falls to the mat. So Roman goes back outside the

<v Speaker 1>ring on the announced dead. He's got the shoe Lafalla

<v Speaker 1>and the timekeeper Berkeley Berkeley Opman, the son of the

<v Speaker 1>shock Master. He's been timekeeper in WWE for many years now.

<v Speaker 1>He comes over with a pair of scissors. He's cutting

<v Speaker 1>the laces. So you should have kept him together. You

<v Speaker 1>could have put that in like a hall of fame

<v Speaker 1>one day, if they ever actually have a physical hall

<v Speaker 1>of fame, you could put it in the hall of fame.

<v Speaker 1>But he cut the laces. Roman then gets a sharpie.

<v Speaker 1>He begins signing each shoe and he's throwing them out

<v Speaker 1>to the crowd and I think he only threw two

<v Speaker 1>of the shoes out before bron Breaker appeared. And the

<v Speaker 1>way they did this is the camera. We didn't see

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker until all of a sudden, the camera just

<v Speaker 1>pans over and bron Breaker is standing there. He's on

<v Speaker 1>the timekeeper's barricade. Now he's over standing on the French

<v Speaker 1>announced desk because he had the English announced desk. And

<v Speaker 1>then to the left of the English announced desk, if

<v Speaker 1>you're facing the ring, is the French desk. Bron Breaker

<v Speaker 1>is standing there. He's measuring Roman and he dies from

<v Speaker 1>that table to the English announced desk and he spears

<v Speaker 1>Roman through the announced desk. Thankfully it broke because these

<v Speaker 1>tables now are reinforced, they don't break as easily as

<v Speaker 1>they used to. But this table did break, so they

<v Speaker 1>go crashing through the desk. They show Jelly Rolls standing

<v Speaker 1>there in the front row. He's like, oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>he's looking all concerned. Thankfully he stayed right where he was.

<v Speaker 1>He didn't involve himself. He was smart enough not to

<v Speaker 1>involve himself. Here. Breaker went into the ring and along

<v Speaker 1>with Bronson Reid, they helped Paul Hayman to his feet.

<v Speaker 1>So the heels were leaving and Roman is being tended to.

<v Speaker 1>Eventually Roman got back to his feet. He's favoring his ribs,

<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't want any help. He's gonna leave on

<v Speaker 1>his own power. And he walks and he makes it

<v Speaker 1>as far as the head of the aisleway before he

<v Speaker 1>could even really start going down the aisle, bron Breaker

<v Speaker 1>sees this, and from about twenty feet away, bron Breaker

<v Speaker 1>gets a nice running head start here and he sprints

<v Speaker 1>down the aisle and he spears Roman for a second time,

<v Speaker 1>spears him right down to the ground. So the heels

<v Speaker 1>roll reins back into the ring. Bronson Red heads up

<v Speaker 1>top and he hits a tsunami splash to Roman reigns.

<v Speaker 1>More officials come pouring out. Hurricane Helms is out there,

<v Speaker 1>Jason Jordan is out there. I think Adam Pierce might

<v Speaker 1>have been out there. There's a whole bunch of officials out there.

<v Speaker 1>So they bring out a stretcher for Roman, and with

<v Speaker 1>Roman now strapped to the gurney, Reid runs back down

<v Speaker 1>to the ring. He goes up top. Roman now is

<v Speaker 1>completely defenseless because he is strapped to this board and

<v Speaker 1>he has nowhere to go. Can't even get his hands

<v Speaker 1>up or anything, and Bronson Reed comes flying off with

<v Speaker 1>a second tsunami splash. And I'm watching all of this

<v Speaker 1>play out because this has been going on for a

<v Speaker 1>while now, and I'm like, I know Roman's he got

<v Speaker 1>family in the building, but boy, it would sure be

<v Speaker 1>a good time for them to be out here to

<v Speaker 1>come to this man's aid. So he gets squashed for

<v Speaker 1>a second time. And then finally, after much delay, jay

<v Speaker 1>Uso finally shows up. I guess he was busy yeating

<v Speaker 1>himself elsewhere in the building. Jay Uso finally shows up

<v Speaker 1>to assist his cousin. He fights off the heels until

<v Speaker 1>the heels then got back in the ring and bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker speared jay Uso Bronson Reid also went back up top.

<v Speaker 1>He hit a third tsunami splash to Roman Reins, who

<v Speaker 1>was still strapped to the board, and finally they were

<v Speaker 1>able to get the heels out of there, and Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns was flattened like a pancake and eventually he was

<v Speaker 1>stretchered out. The postmatch angle lasted almost as long as

<v Speaker 1>the fucking match. I said the match went about twenty minutes.

<v Speaker 1>This whole postmatch angle went just about fifteen minutes, so

<v Speaker 1>when you tally it all up, we didn't even get

<v Speaker 1>to the second match of this show until the beginning

<v Speaker 1>of hour two, which is completely ridiculous. But part of

<v Speaker 1>that is also the first match didn't actually start until

<v Speaker 1>we were about twenty minutes fifteen twenty minutes into the show,

<v Speaker 1>so that entire first hour of this ple was just

<v Speaker 1>gone at that point. It is inexplicable that it took

<v Speaker 1>jay usso that long when he saw what was going

<v Speaker 1>after the first spear on the table, that it took

<v Speaker 1>him that long to make his way out to help

<v Speaker 1>his cousin out. The angle itself not really surprising. I

<v Speaker 1>didn't know if they were going to do it on

<v Speaker 1>this show or on Raw this Monday. I believe he

<v Speaker 1>begins filming on Tuesday, so it was going to be

<v Speaker 1>a little dicey whether or not he'd even be able

<v Speaker 1>to be on the show on Monday. I believe he's

<v Speaker 1>filming for Street Fighter in Australia, so if they were

<v Speaker 1>going to do something, it had to be on this show.

<v Speaker 1>That was not surprising, and as an Angle, I thought

<v Speaker 1>it was a fine way to write him off. I

<v Speaker 1>personally think it would have meant more to give Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Read the win here. In the big picture, it's not

<v Speaker 1>gonna hurt Bronson Reid. It's not really gonna end up

<v Speaker 1>being that big of a deal. But you know, Roman,

<v Speaker 1>Roman could have gotten his shoes back and you could

<v Speaker 1>have shot the exact same angle after he lost the match.

<v Speaker 1>Everything else could have played out exactly the way it did,

<v Speaker 1>but it would have been huge, you know, for Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid to get a win here, and they opted not

<v Speaker 1>to do that. Part of the reason may have been because,

<v Speaker 1>you know, Seth Rollins was going to win at the

<v Speaker 1>end of the show, so maybe they wanted to give

<v Speaker 1>the fans a babyface win here at the beginning. That's

<v Speaker 1>always possible. Again, the loss doesn't hurt Bronson Reid. He

<v Speaker 1>you know, he took the majority of the match, got

<v Speaker 1>his heat back with the angle when it was over

<v Speaker 1>three tsunami splashes, so I thought it was still very effective.

<v Speaker 1>In the back after, Adam Pierce was livid talking to

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker and Bronson Reid, and he also informed them, well,

<v Speaker 1>first he ejected them, kicked him out of the building,

<v Speaker 1>but he informed them that Roman had been taken to

<v Speaker 1>the hospital and they're like, well, what about Hayman cares

<v Speaker 1>about him? What about Paul Hayman? And Pierce said, well,

<v Speaker 1>you guys can join him, And they weren't very happy

<v Speaker 1>about this because they said Seth Rolins still has a match.

<v Speaker 1>We're not going nowhere. Seth Rollins has a match later

<v Speaker 1>in the show, and Pierce said, if I even so

<v Speaker 1>much as smell you coming back to the building, you

<v Speaker 1>will both be suspended indefinitely without pay. So this is

<v Speaker 1>how they set things up for the main event. Hayman's

<v Speaker 1>gone breaker and Reader Gone. Seth is going into this

<v Speaker 1>main event against three other guys with nobody there to

<v Speaker 1>help him and watch his back. So that was the

<v Speaker 1>purpose of this opening the show so they could set

<v Speaker 1>things up for the main event. At the very end.

<v Speaker 1>Now we have the WYAT six. After this, Joe Gacy

<v Speaker 1>and Dexter Loomis defending the WWE tag team titles against

<v Speaker 1>the Street Profits. Angelo Dawkins put his own arm out

<v Speaker 1>to stop montese Ford from starting the match. I got this.

<v Speaker 1>He wanted to start the match, okay, so he let

<v Speaker 1>him start the match. Meanwhile, montes Ford ended up tagging

<v Speaker 1>himself in after dawkins initial exchange with Dexter Loomis didn't

<v Speaker 1>really go too well, and Angelo Dawkins did not look

<v Speaker 1>very happy about this at all. He was like, okay,

<v Speaker 1>all right, fam and he got back out on the apron.

<v Speaker 1>So I'm watching this going uh oh, where did this

<v Speaker 1>come from? The why? It's worked over Ford for a

<v Speaker 1>while until Dawkins made a hot tag back into the match.

<v Speaker 1>Dawkins ran while to hit Joe Gasey with a sent

<v Speaker 1>on bomb, profits hit Gaysey with an electric chair drop

<v Speaker 1>slash blockbuster combo. Dexter broke up the cover. Ford missed

<v Speaker 1>a frog splash, which led to a messed up spot.

<v Speaker 1>Gasey went to go use Loomis as a weapon. Ford

<v Speaker 1>just fell down before being hit. Gacy dropped Loomis on

<v Speaker 1>top of him. Dawkins tackled Gasey into the barricade outside

<v Speaker 1>and then he became distracted when Eric Rowan walked over

<v Speaker 1>and the two of them are looking at each other,

<v Speaker 1>and that gave Loomis an opportunity to just charge in

<v Speaker 1>tackle Dawkins over the barricade montes. Ford then wiped out

<v Speaker 1>Loomis and Rowan with his dive out over the ring post.

<v Speaker 1>Now he went to go get back in the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and hiding underneath the ring poking her head out is

<v Speaker 1>Nicky Cross, and Nicky Cross grabs a hold of montes

<v Speaker 1>Ford's leg so he can't get back in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>The referee is distracted, he's on the other side of

<v Speaker 1>the ring tending to something, doesn't see what's going on here.

<v Speaker 1>Uncle Howdie comes over, grabs montes Ford, gives him sister

<v Speaker 1>Abigail on the floor, so Ford is laid out, so

<v Speaker 1>they put Ford back in the ring. Gasey and Loomis

<v Speaker 1>give him a combo sit out, power bomb neck breaker.

<v Speaker 1>They call it the Plague and they got the win,

<v Speaker 1>so the Wyatt six retained the tag team titles. Here

<v Speaker 1>solid stuff, I mean, no real downtime like we had

<v Speaker 1>in the opening match. There were moments where it was,

<v Speaker 1>you know, a chin lock here and there. This was

<v Speaker 1>basically a sprint for a good ten or eleven minutes

<v Speaker 1>or so. I think this would have been a fine

<v Speaker 1>television match on SmackDown. This was the first time where

<v Speaker 1>the Wyots I feel like were really treated like heels.

<v Speaker 1>Ye had Nikki Cross getting involved there at the end.

<v Speaker 1>Uncle Howdie gets involved blatantly right lays out montes Ford

<v Speaker 1>on the floor, so it certainly felt like a heel

<v Speaker 1>move here at the end of this the tension though

<v Speaker 1>between Angelo Dawkins and montes Ford, it felt so manufactured.

<v Speaker 1>They did nothing to set it up. All we had

<v Speaker 1>to set this up was just a very brief few

<v Speaker 1>lines from Bo Dallas on Friday where he saw them

<v Speaker 1>in the back and he made a mention of them like,

<v Speaker 1>are you really brothers? You know, you're basically you're not

<v Speaker 1>family like us, And when we beat you, you'll see,

<v Speaker 1>you know whether or not you two are really family

<v Speaker 1>or not. Right. It was something to that effect that

<v Speaker 1>was it. It's not as if that there's been this

<v Speaker 1>overt effort on television over the last several weeks to

<v Speaker 1>build up tension, like they've been telling some kind of

<v Speaker 1>a story between montes Ford and Angelo Dawkins. By and large,

<v Speaker 1>everything's been fine. All of a sudden, you see that

<v Speaker 1>tension there at the beginning of the match, and I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>where the hell did this come from? It just felt

<v Speaker 1>so forced to me. It felt very manufactured that all

<v Speaker 1>of a sudden they're teasing a street profits breakup when

<v Speaker 1>they've really done nothing to really build up to it,

<v Speaker 1>but they sure wanted you to feel like, Okay, we

<v Speaker 1>could be heading in this direction soon. It made me

<v Speaker 1>also remember on the pre show Big E before they

<v Speaker 1>went on the air here with the main card, big

<v Speaker 1>E made a comment about how this match is basically

<v Speaker 1>a must win for the Street Profits. If they don't

<v Speaker 1>win this match, he basically was saying, I don't know

<v Speaker 1>where they go from here, So they're definitely teasing a

<v Speaker 1>new direction for the Street Profits. It could very well

<v Speaker 1>result in a breakup. Again. There's been some start and

<v Speaker 1>stop storytelling in the past that kind of gave you

<v Speaker 1>the indication they might be going down that road, and

<v Speaker 1>then they pulled back or they swerved you and they

<v Speaker 1>went a different way. I've been waiting for a Montes

<v Speaker 1>Ford singles push for a couple of years now. There

<v Speaker 1>was a brief window in I guess it was two

<v Speaker 1>years ago, right heading into WrestleMania thirty nine. That was

<v Speaker 1>the year that Ford was in the Elimination Chamber match

<v Speaker 1>for the US title where I really thought, Okay, this

<v Speaker 1>looks like they're going to move forward with it, and

<v Speaker 1>then they didn't. It was completely dropped. It was completely abandoned.

<v Speaker 1>So I have no idea. I'm not going to sit

<v Speaker 1>here and tell you, Okay, Triple H is finally going

<v Speaker 1>to do it. Because TRIPLEH has sort of dangled that

<v Speaker 1>carrot before and then pulled back. I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>he's going to do it or not. It seems like

<v Speaker 1>that could be the direction here. I will believe it

<v Speaker 1>when I see it, because I feel the same way

<v Speaker 1>the Big East did on the pre show when he's like,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know where these guys go from here. They've

<v Speaker 1>been tag team champions, they didn't have the belts for

<v Speaker 1>very long. Now. They had an opportunity to get them back.

<v Speaker 1>They failed, short of moving them over to the Tag

<v Speaker 1>team division on Raw, which could really use the help

<v Speaker 1>right now. I don't know what else you do with

<v Speaker 1>these two. It's like running on the hamster wheel. It

<v Speaker 1>took them years just to win the belts back again.

<v Speaker 1>They went four years between tag team title reigns, and

<v Speaker 1>this was as forgettable a rain as you will ever see.

<v Speaker 1>What is the end goal here? I think Angelo Dawkins

<v Speaker 1>as well. There could be a singles push in it

<v Speaker 1>for him. He's been very impressive in some of these matches.

<v Speaker 1>But montes Ford I think is where the money is.

<v Speaker 1>If you had to put money down as a single

<v Speaker 1>on one or the other. My money is on montes Ford.

<v Speaker 1>My money is on a montes Ford, Bianca Bellair, Parry,

<v Speaker 1>a montes Forward, Bianca bell Air, Heel Pairy at some

<v Speaker 1>point down the road. I've always felt that way, but

<v Speaker 1>every year that goes by, it just makes me wonder

<v Speaker 1>if they're ever going to actually pull the trigger and

<v Speaker 1>do it. May as well, because like big Ee said,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know where you go with these guys from here.

<v Speaker 1>I really don't now. Up next, we had Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>defending the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Nicky Bella. Noticeable booze.

<v Speaker 1>Nothing overwhelming like Logan Paul. Noticeable booze though for Nicki

<v Speaker 1>Bella when she came out cheers, noticeable cheers, especially at

<v Speaker 1>the end when she won for Becky Lynch, so that

<v Speaker 1>was interesting, not surprising, but interesting. Nicki came at her

<v Speaker 1>with a fury right out of the gate, so Becky

<v Speaker 1>retreated to the outside. Nicki went for a sliding drop

<v Speaker 1>kick through the ropes to the floor. Becky had moved

<v Speaker 1>out of the way, so Nicki just didn't even land

<v Speaker 1>on her feet, she landed on the ground, She crashed

<v Speaker 1>and burned back inside, Becky landed a leg drop from

<v Speaker 1>the top rope for a two count. There was a

<v Speaker 1>spot outside the ring a few minutes into this where

<v Speaker 1>Nicki started slamming. Becky was supposed to be faced first repeatedly,

<v Speaker 1>you know, over and over again into the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>right top part of the announced desk, and I should

<v Speaker 1>say that she was ramming her hands first into the

<v Speaker 1>announced desk. They really should have switched to a different

<v Speaker 1>camera angle for this, because all you saw was Becky,

<v Speaker 1>you know, her hands were going into the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>and it just looked really bad. They should have shot

<v Speaker 1>this a little bit differently. Then there was a very

<v Speaker 1>embarrassing spot where Nicky went for a disaster kick like

<v Speaker 1>she was Cody Rhodes, not from like, uh, the center

<v Speaker 1>part of the rope. She went to the corner, but

<v Speaker 1>she came off the middle rope with her version of

<v Speaker 1>a disaster kick, and she went for it before bothering

<v Speaker 1>to see if Becky was in position now. She did

<v Speaker 1>initially turn around to just kind of take stock of

<v Speaker 1>where Becky was, and Becky was not in the position

<v Speaker 1>that you would have wanted her to be in. Nicky

<v Speaker 1>turns back around and she goes through with the kick.

<v Speaker 1>I guess expecting that Becky was going to be there,

<v Speaker 1>but she wasn't and she didn't bother checking. So she

<v Speaker 1>goes and throws this kick. The only thing is she

<v Speaker 1>turns around, there ain't nobody there. There's nobody there. She

<v Speaker 1>threw a kick at John Cena and Becky. What made

<v Speaker 1>it even worse. You can't even say it was a

<v Speaker 1>glancing blow, like it did not connect. But Becky in

<v Speaker 1>the moment stumbled like she was like, oh, I got

<v Speaker 1>to sell this, and then she quickly realized, okay, this

<v Speaker 1>is this looked terrible. I'm not going to sell this,

<v Speaker 1>But initially she kind of did. It was it was terrible,

<v Speaker 1>Like she wasn't even in the neighborhood, so that looked

<v Speaker 1>very bad. Nicki briefly sold leg pain. I'll bet her

<v Speaker 1>ego hurt more than her leg did. Nicki went for

<v Speaker 1>the rack attack, Becky worked out of it, and Nicky

<v Speaker 1>ran it Becky Becky moved. Nicki went to the apron,

<v Speaker 1>so Nicky went to the top rope. Becky cut her off,

<v Speaker 1>landed a superplex from the second rope for a two count.

<v Speaker 1>Bella went to the UH fearless lock, which she had

<v Speaker 1>used earlier in the match. She went back to her

<v Speaker 1>fearless lock. Nicki, though got to the ropes or Becky

<v Speaker 1>did rather broke the hold, so the action spilled outside.

<v Speaker 1>Becky dismantled the ring steps. She tried to lift Nicki

<v Speaker 1>up Nicki. They fought back and ended up hitting a

<v Speaker 1>bellabuster on the flat part of the ring steps. Back inside,

<v Speaker 1>Nicki hit Becky with her own manhandle slam for a

<v Speaker 1>near fall. Nicki then tried for a disarm her Becky

<v Speaker 1>slipped out did a variation of the same finish that

<v Speaker 1>she used. I want to say it was, was it backlash? Whatever?

<v Speaker 1>It was? Back in May, she used a variation of

<v Speaker 1>the same finish that she won with in her triple

<v Speaker 1>threat match with Bailey and Lyra Valkyrio, only this was

<v Speaker 1>not as smooth, but basically a backslide, and she got

<v Speaker 1>a backslide and she won with it. Now, that was

<v Speaker 1>a great finish a few months ago. This was. It

<v Speaker 1>wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as that finish was,

<v Speaker 1>but it was effective and she won with it. And

<v Speaker 1>she retains the Intercontinental title. And I said this, you know,

<v Speaker 1>I tweeted this out when the match was over. I said, well,

<v Speaker 1>that was certainly a match that happened. I'll even go

<v Speaker 1>as far as to say it was the best women's

<v Speaker 1>match on the entire show. That's about the nicest thing

<v Speaker 1>I could say about this match. Boy. You know, I

<v Speaker 1>sure wish we had that Stephanie Vecer match on this show.

<v Speaker 1>This was nowhere near the level of the matches for

<v Speaker 1>the most part that Becky had with Lyra Valkyria, outside

<v Speaker 1>of their Summer Slim match, which wasn't very good. This

<v Speaker 1>was the worst match, though, of Becky's run so far

<v Speaker 1>since she came back and since she won the Intercontinental title.

<v Speaker 1>You know, she tried to make something out of this.

<v Speaker 1>They just weren't on the same page for most of it.

<v Speaker 1>It just didn't feel like they were in sync together

<v Speaker 1>the way they did the finish. They may be tempted

<v Speaker 1>to run this back again. I'm sure these two would

<v Speaker 1>love to go back out and have a second crack

<v Speaker 1>at it, try to have a better match if they

<v Speaker 1>insist on doing this match again. And I don't think

<v Speaker 1>there's a single person out there who was asking for

<v Speaker 1>a rematch here. But if they are going to do

<v Speaker 1>a rematch, you could do it on TV. This would

<v Speaker 1>be the perfect time to use their go to stipulation

<v Speaker 1>with all the plunder and all the weapons and the

<v Speaker 1>Kendo sticks and do a match like that, like a

<v Speaker 1>no DQ match, so they at least have the bells

<v Speaker 1>and whistles that they can rely on. I don't have

<v Speaker 1>any interest in seeing this run back with any stipulation,

<v Speaker 1>but if they're gonna do it, I think that would

<v Speaker 1>be the way to go about doing it. And the

<v Speaker 1>thing with Nicky Bella, you know, outside of that one

<v Speaker 1>terrible botch, it wasn't as if well, outside of that

<v Speaker 1>one botch it was a great match. No, it wasn't

<v Speaker 1>a great match. Was It was the weakest match on

<v Speaker 1>the entire show and one of the worst matches that

<v Speaker 1>Becky has had all year, if not the worst. The

<v Speaker 1>thing with Nicky Bella, though, Nicky Bella, it's not that

<v Speaker 1>Nicky is awful, She's always terrible. She can't wrestle, right,

<v Speaker 1>It's not that when Nicky was the Divas Champion, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>when she was on top back in her day, she

<v Speaker 1>was average at best, compared to the quality of the

<v Speaker 1>women that we are used to seeing now in WWE.

<v Speaker 1>When you talk about Becky and Lyra and Charlotte and

<v Speaker 1>Rhea and Bianca and Eo and Osca and on and

<v Speaker 1>on and on, the quality is just so far superior

<v Speaker 1>to what Nicki was working with. And frankly, Nicki herself,

<v Speaker 1>even when she was in her prime and the longest

<v Speaker 1>reigning Divis champion of all time and all of that stuff,

<v Speaker 1>she was still average at best compared to what we

<v Speaker 1>see today. So now she comes back and I know

<v Speaker 1>everybody is singing her praises and how revolutionary she was

<v Speaker 1>and all of this, and you know, blah blah blah.

<v Speaker 1>We hear it in every single promo, But again they

<v Speaker 1>build her up to be something that she really isn't.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying she can't go out there and

<v Speaker 1>have a good match or a solid match, but this

<v Speaker 1>was certainly not it. I'm left even wondering how we

<v Speaker 1>even got to this point because part of the issue also,

<v Speaker 1>this is absolutely part of it. She has had one

<v Speaker 1>other singles match this entire year since she came back

<v Speaker 1>at the Royal Rumble. The only other singles match that

<v Speaker 1>this woman has had was a raw match against Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>Green like six weeks ago. So ring rust and her

<v Speaker 1>lack of matches of any kind, tag singles or anything,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure played a role in this. She's not getting

<v Speaker 1>the reps in, she's not wrestling on a regular basis,

<v Speaker 1>she's not even wrestling on a part time basis, and

<v Speaker 1>so that's going to play a role as well. And

<v Speaker 1>all of that conspired to give you what you saw

<v Speaker 1>here on this show tonight. There are much better opponents

<v Speaker 1>for Becky to be in the ring working with. One

<v Speaker 1>of those names is the name that I just mentioned

<v Speaker 1>a little while ago, which is Stephanie Bacaierr. Now we

<v Speaker 1>should find out tomorrow what their big solution is to

<v Speaker 1>this women's championship vacancy. They delayed it in another week,

<v Speaker 1>so we have to find out tomorrow. Based on what

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce was saying, it sounds like it's one name.

<v Speaker 1>He was just trying to work out the details. I

<v Speaker 1>hope it is just one name. Whoever that name is

<v Speaker 1>going to be. As long as it's not Nickcki Bella,

<v Speaker 1>whoever that name is going to be, I'd rather they

<v Speaker 1>not go through the whole rigmarole of like a multi

<v Speaker 1>person fiasco, and that name, whoever that name is going

<v Speaker 1>to be, is likely going to end up being the

<v Speaker 1>next women's champion because I just don't think Stephanie needs

<v Speaker 1>the title right now. I think it would be a

<v Speaker 1>mistake to put the belt on her right now. Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>didn't even wrestle at all the entire month of August, like,

<v Speaker 1>she's been a total non factor on these shows. You

<v Speaker 1>got to build her up. You got to build her up, honestly.

<v Speaker 1>I mean she won that Battle Royal Evolution. She's been

<v Speaker 1>on the main roster for I don't know what two months,

<v Speaker 1>three months now, not that long. She's barely been established.

<v Speaker 1>She's very popular and everybody loves the Devil's Kiss, but

<v Speaker 1>she's not established enough, and she's somebody who could be

<v Speaker 1>a major player for them. You need to take your

<v Speaker 1>t so that first championship win really means something. I

<v Speaker 1>think a better position for her to be in would

<v Speaker 1>not be challenging for the Women's World Championship, but for

<v Speaker 1>her to be challenging Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental title.

<v Speaker 1>And I think that's exactly the kind of person that

<v Speaker 1>Becky should be working with and dropping the title to eventually,

<v Speaker 1>it's not Nicky Bella. Nicki Bella is from the past.

<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how Nicki Bella ended up with

<v Speaker 1>a Women's Intercontinental title match when she's had one other

<v Speaker 1>match the entire year, one other singles match, and she's

<v Speaker 1>fighting for the championship here. That's a whole other story.

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Vaquier is the one who should be in that position.

<v Speaker 1>That's what I would do, and then I would eventually

<v Speaker 1>build up to her winning the IC title. Let her

<v Speaker 1>get a run with that, just like she had the

<v Speaker 1>North American title in NXT, and eventually you can build

<v Speaker 1>to her winning the World championship next year. That's the

<v Speaker 1>kind of person that should be in this spot. That's

<v Speaker 1>the kind of person who would benefit from working with

<v Speaker 1>a Becky Lynch. Look that rubuff On steat definitie a

<v Speaker 1>big name right for her to be working with, and

<v Speaker 1>both really good. I think the two of them would

<v Speaker 1>probably have pretty incredible chemistry together. I mean, you don't

<v Speaker 1>know until they're in the ring together, but I just

<v Speaker 1>think someone like that should be in this position, not

<v Speaker 1>a Nikki Bella. Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help

<v Speaker 1>in the four way match? Later, Jay insisted on wrestling

<v Speaker 1>in the main event because before Roman got carted off

<v Speaker 1>to the hospital. He told Jay go out there and

<v Speaker 1>win that title back. So now he's all motivated to

<v Speaker 1>go out there and to win the World Championship back.

<v Speaker 1>After that, it was time for Shamus and Russev in

<v Speaker 1>a good old fashioned Donnybrook match. Anything goes, pinfall or

<v Speaker 1>submission in the ring. Again, it's not false count anywhere.

<v Speaker 1>Pinfall or submission in the ring is the only way

<v Speaker 1>to win this match. Now, this is a good moment here.

<v Speaker 1>Since I just got done talking about the women and

<v Speaker 1>I'm about to talk about Seamus, I just very briefly

<v Speaker 1>want to talk talk about a couple of videos that

<v Speaker 1>I saw on social media today. I saw Ria Ripley

<v Speaker 1>tweet out what she did talking about fans in France

<v Speaker 1>who swarmed her earlier today ash and literally had her

<v Speaker 1>up against the door of her uber as she was

<v Speaker 1>trying to get in her uber to get to the

<v Speaker 1>arena or wherever it was that she was going. She

<v Speaker 1>wasn't on the show tonight, but she was there and

<v Speaker 1>it was scary. It was scary because there was nobody

<v Speaker 1>there with her. There's no security, there's nobody from WWE,

<v Speaker 1>there's no other wrestlers there with her. She's all by

<v Speaker 1>herself and she is swarm by this group of people

<v Speaker 1>that are just obsessed with getting up in her face

<v Speaker 1>and taking selfies and sticking papers in her face for

<v Speaker 1>her to autograph, and it's just overwhelming. And then I

<v Speaker 1>saw video. It must have been in a mall. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know where they were, but Seamus was also mobbed

<v Speaker 1>by a group of people to the point where there

<v Speaker 1>was a female fan in the group that was almost

<v Speaker 1>trampled over, and seam has had it's like tell everybody, hey, hey,

<v Speaker 1>back up, back up, and he's like talking to the fan,

<v Speaker 1>are you okay? Are you okay? Again? Very scary situation

<v Speaker 1>here because everybody is all up in their space and

<v Speaker 1>there's nobody there seemingly to separate them, from what I

<v Speaker 1>could tell. So this has been a recurring theme in

<v Speaker 1>other places as well. It's not like France is the

<v Speaker 1>only place where this has happened. This has happened in

<v Speaker 1>other places as well. And when it comes to the

<v Speaker 1>women in WWE, obviously there have been some very scary

<v Speaker 1>situations in the past, right Sonya Deville, Roxane Perez Live Morgan.

<v Speaker 1>Everybody has had stalkers in different situations even far more

<v Speaker 1>serious than this. But in situations like this, it's to

<v Speaker 1>the point now where I don't see how WWE cannot,

<v Speaker 1>especially for some of these top female names who were

<v Speaker 1>super popular on social media and have people who are

<v Speaker 1>just absolutely obsessed with them. It's to the point now

<v Speaker 1>where WWE and TKO need to very seriously consider when

<v Speaker 1>they are in these places for these pls, having these

<v Speaker 1>talents escorted around by security. This is what it's come

<v Speaker 1>to now, because at some point something very bad is

<v Speaker 1>going to happen, and we'll be talking about this and

<v Speaker 1>having this conversation after the fact, after something bad has

<v Speaker 1>already happened. The whole point is to try to avoid

<v Speaker 1>that altogether and not get to a point where something

<v Speaker 1>really bad happens because people just have no self control.

<v Speaker 1>Part of it is that people get all swept up

<v Speaker 1>in celebrity. Oh my god, I can't believe Seamus is

<v Speaker 1>right here and Rhea Ripley is over here right, and

<v Speaker 1>they get all nervous and they get starstruck. And that's

<v Speaker 1>totally normal. But that's very different than getting up in

<v Speaker 1>someone's personal space or putting your hands on them and

<v Speaker 1>swarming them and stampeding them. You cannot do that. Like

<v Speaker 1>I'm watching that video of Rhea Ripley by her car

<v Speaker 1>being sworn by these absolute fucking losers, and I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>why in the world would you think that it is

<v Speaker 1>appropriate to conduct yourself in this way? Why? And it's

<v Speaker 1>not just kids. I mean, these are people that are

<v Speaker 1>old enough to where they should know better. Like, it

<v Speaker 1>can't be allowed to happen like that anymore. There's going

<v Speaker 1>to have to be somebody who steps in and says, okay,

<v Speaker 1>we need to have people escorting these women around when

<v Speaker 1>they are in these places because it is a very

<v Speaker 1>dangerous situation, or maybe come up with like a buddy system,

<v Speaker 1>you know, where you have some of the male talents

<v Speaker 1>hanging out with them. I don't know, but something has

<v Speaker 1>to happen here, because this is not the first time

<v Speaker 1>something like this has happened. And at least in the

<v Speaker 1>shamous video, Shamus was there. He was able to kind

<v Speaker 1>of back people up and check on that person and

<v Speaker 1>make sure that fan was okay. But I'm telling you,

<v Speaker 1>there's going to come a point where something, you know,

<v Speaker 1>there won't be a Shamus there. There was a video

<v Speaker 1>not that long ago in an airport. I think it

<v Speaker 1>might have been Rhea and there was somebody who was

<v Speaker 1>hounding her and Kevin Owens was there. Kevin Owens came

<v Speaker 1>over and just to check on her and said, of

<v Speaker 1>you okay, and Riea was like, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

<v Speaker 1>This can't happen now in this match. They had a

<v Speaker 1>makeshift bar that was set up at ringside, which I

<v Speaker 1>could certainly use after the last match we just talked about.

<v Speaker 1>They also had giant barrels of Irish whiskey at ringside.

<v Speaker 1>I'm shocked they were unbranded. They brand everything else, they

<v Speaker 1>branded the tables. I'm shocked they didn't have branding fireball

<v Speaker 1>whiskey branding on the side of the barrels. Shockingly, I

<v Speaker 1>know this is going to be a big surprise to

<v Speaker 1>some of you. But they brawled to start the match,

<v Speaker 1>and so we had here the action spilling outside. Very early,

<v Speaker 1>Seamus ran Rusev into the ring post. Seamus quickly grabbed

<v Speaker 1>a slim gym table. Rucev, though ran Seamus into the

<v Speaker 1>ring post and then grabbed a slim gym table of

<v Speaker 1>his own, and he set it up next to Seamus's

<v Speaker 1>slimjym table and After all of this, they took the

<v Speaker 1>action back in the ring. After all that, they left

<v Speaker 1>the tables out there and the action spills into the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Russev hit Seamus with a kendo stick over and over

<v Speaker 1>and over again. Russev then gives Seamus the ten beats.

<v Speaker 1>He pulled a turnbuckle pad off ran into an Irish

<v Speaker 1>curz backbreaker. Though, Seamus grabbed the kendo stick and hit

<v Speaker 1>Russev with it multiple times, and then he grabbed multiple

<v Speaker 1>chairs from underneath the ring. Seamus miss Russev with a

<v Speaker 1>chair shot and Russev hit a heel kick only got

<v Speaker 1>a one count out of it. Rusev grabbed a chair

<v Speaker 1>and he started working Seamus over with it. The two

<v Speaker 1>of them battled for possession of a chair. Rusev came

<v Speaker 1>away with it, but then promptly ran into a running

<v Speaker 1>knee strike. After that, Seamus took his own move back

<v Speaker 1>and he hit Rusev with the ten beats. Russev threw

<v Speaker 1>Seamus over the makeshift bar that was set up outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring. Then he grabbed a barstool. Seamus though punched

<v Speaker 1>Russev and gave Russev ten beats over the bar. He

<v Speaker 1>tried to leave through the crowd. Russev did. Seamus, though,

<v Speaker 1>stopped him and gave Russev ten beats with a schaleley.

<v Speaker 1>Back inside the ring, Seamus ran Rusev into the chair

<v Speaker 1>that Rusev had wedged earlier in between the ropes, and

<v Speaker 1>then Seamus hit a Celtic cross, only for a two count.

<v Speaker 1>Seamus set up for a broad kick. Russev rolled out

<v Speaker 1>to the floor wisely, Seamus climbed up top. When he

<v Speaker 1>came down, though on the floor, Russev blasted him in

<v Speaker 1>the mid section with the candowstick, right across the ribs.

<v Speaker 1>Russev dismantled the ring steps that were over by the

<v Speaker 1>bar and slammed Seamus through the bar. I think it

<v Speaker 1>was a urinagi through the bar. Back inside, Rusev locked

<v Speaker 1>in the accolade, but Seamus slam Russev backwards onto a

<v Speaker 1>pile of chairs. The action spilled back outside and the

<v Speaker 1>two of them fought on top of the whiskey barrels. Now.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know how tall the whiskey barrels were. They

<v Speaker 1>were tall enough that when they were standing on top

<v Speaker 1>of them, they were fairly high up there, so they

<v Speaker 1>were on top of the whiskey barrels. Russev locks in

<v Speaker 1>the accolade to Seamus on top of the barrels, and

<v Speaker 1>they got this great shot, like a faraway camera shot

<v Speaker 1>where you see all the fans in the background and

<v Speaker 1>you just see them there right on top of those barrels.

<v Speaker 1>It just was a really cool visual. So he had

<v Speaker 1>him in the accolade. Seamus, though, worked out of it,

<v Speaker 1>and then he ended up hitting white noise off the

<v Speaker 1>barrels down through the two slim gym tables that were

<v Speaker 1>set up earlier in the match, and so they go

<v Speaker 1>crashing and burning through the two tables. Both men dragged

<v Speaker 1>themselves back into the ring. The crowd was very loud

<v Speaker 1>for them both. They were super into this match. BRUCEV

<v Speaker 1>grabbed the Shechalley, but when he turned around, Seamus caught

<v Speaker 1>him with a brokick, and you're thinking, okay, that's it.

<v Speaker 1>Covers him and he kicks out. And what made it

<v Speaker 1>so great is that the bro kick, after all these years,

<v Speaker 1>is still one of the most protected moves in all

<v Speaker 1>of wrestling. Very very few people kick out of the

<v Speaker 1>bro kick. It's happened before, but it's not a regularly

<v Speaker 1>Like John Cena, his attitude adjustment, right, I mean, at

<v Speaker 1>some point I've probably kicked out of the attitude adjustment.

<v Speaker 1>You've probably kicked out of the attitude adjustment, but you've

<v Speaker 1>never kicked out of a bro kick before. So they

<v Speaker 1>made it out like a big deal that Russev was

<v Speaker 1>able to kick out. Russev came back and he cracked

<v Speaker 1>at chiallee right across Seamus's back, almost like a knockout shot.

<v Speaker 1>He shoots the half, he covers him. Seamus kicks out

<v Speaker 1>at two point nine, and Russev is beside himself. He's screaming,

<v Speaker 1>he can't believe it. He's just incredibly frustrated. So he

<v Speaker 1>goes for the accolade, but he's using the chially across

<v Speaker 1>Seamus's mouth. It's like in his mouth and he's pulling

<v Speaker 1>back on it. And what ends up happening is Russev

<v Speaker 1>falls backwards. I thought they were about to do a

<v Speaker 1>spot where Seamus falls backwards and pins Russev. Russev's shoulders

<v Speaker 1>were not down, His back was down, but not his shoulders,

<v Speaker 1>but he still had the move locked in and he

<v Speaker 1>had that ball across Seamus's mouth. So picture when Edge

<v Speaker 1>used to break the bottom piece off of a chair

<v Speaker 1>and place the bar in someone's mouth. He did it

<v Speaker 1>to Roman Reins like in a cross face. That's basically

<v Speaker 1>what he was doing Seamus. He's got his legs around Seamus.

<v Speaker 1>Shamus ain't going nowhere, you know, He's locked in this hold.

<v Speaker 1>And finally Seamus taps out. Russev wins the match, and

<v Speaker 1>they claimed on commentary, Michael Cole did that that is

<v Speaker 1>only the second time in Seamus's entire career that he

<v Speaker 1>has tapped out, not passed out, but tapped out. The

<v Speaker 1>first time that Seamus ever tapped out in the match

<v Speaker 1>was actually back in the Thunderdome era and he tapped

<v Speaker 1>out in the hurt lock to Bobby Lashley, which honestly,

<v Speaker 1>in and of itself, is shocking to me that even

<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty one, Seamus had been doing this for

<v Speaker 1>so long, well over a decade, and it was only

<v Speaker 1>four years ago that he tapped out for the first time.

<v Speaker 1>So this is all only the second time he's ever

<v Speaker 1>tapped out in the match, doing a real solid for

<v Speaker 1>his friend, because Russev is like one of his best friends,

<v Speaker 1>so got no issue putting this guy over in the

<v Speaker 1>strongest way possible, and it really doesn't get any stronger

<v Speaker 1>than that. Easily the match of the night up until

<v Speaker 1>this point, and the best of their entire series together.

<v Speaker 1>I'm happy they gave these to a pl E spot.

<v Speaker 1>I'm really happy they gave them a pl spot now

<v Speaker 1>because this ended up being one of the best things

<v Speaker 1>on the entire show. The crowd was quiet for a

<v Speaker 1>while when this was over, just because it took a

<v Speaker 1>while for them to start to get back up. I

<v Speaker 1>mean once Scena came out, obviously they were. But it

<v Speaker 1>was good that they had that gap in between the

<v Speaker 1>two matches because I'm sure they needed a little come

<v Speaker 1>down here. But this was as fun as you could

<v Speaker 1>expect it to be. Is when it comes to these

<v Speaker 1>WWE weapons matches, you kind of know what to expect,

<v Speaker 1>so they made the most of it, you know. I

<v Speaker 1>thought it was fun. I enjoyed it again. I thought

<v Speaker 1>the visual of the accolade on top of the whiskey

<v Speaker 1>barrels was really cool. Seamus always delivers in these situations.

<v Speaker 1>Russev needed this because Russev has not had that one

<v Speaker 1>standout match since coming back to WWE, and he's been

<v Speaker 1>back for several months now, so he really needed. I

<v Speaker 1>think a match like this Seamus was able to give

<v Speaker 1>it to him. The win means more for him than

<v Speaker 1>it would for Shamus, because Russev really needed something. The

<v Speaker 1>only question now is Okay, he won. Do they have

<v Speaker 1>some big push in mind for him? I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>You know, the two champions on the brand are both heels,

<v Speaker 1>so I don't think that's in his immediate future. So

<v Speaker 1>where do you go from here with him? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you could feud him with a big name like a

<v Speaker 1>Jay Uso or someone like that, but there's got to

<v Speaker 1>be something in mind otherwise this goes to waste and

<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean anything like a win over Seamus in

<v Speaker 1>a PL match like this and tapping him out should

<v Speaker 1>have value. It should mean something, but only if you

<v Speaker 1>can follow up with something meaningful. That's going to be

<v Speaker 1>up to Paul Levek and what he had planned for

<v Speaker 1>this guy. So I certainly hope that they have some

<v Speaker 1>plan in mind for him coming out of this. Shamus

<v Speaker 1>continues to be basically, you know, a gatekeeper on the

<v Speaker 1>Raw brand. Hopefully he will have his story at some

<v Speaker 1>point for the IC title. That's still the biggest story

<v Speaker 1>that they have not done with him yet. They've kind

<v Speaker 1>of danced around it and what the title means to him.

<v Speaker 1>But he still has yet to win the Intercontinental Championships.

<v Speaker 1>So hopefully at some point he will get his story.

<v Speaker 1>As far as what Russev's next story is, we'll have

<v Speaker 1>to wait until Monday and see. But he needs to

<v Speaker 1>be on that show Monday night, and they have to

<v Speaker 1>give us some indication of what's coming next for now.

<v Speaker 1>On commentary, Wade Barrett mentioned that there was a list

<v Speaker 1>recently in the New York Times technically the Athletic, but

<v Speaker 1>I think the Times owns the Athletic. But it was

<v Speaker 1>a list of the twenty five most impactful play by

<v Speaker 1>play voices in TV history in the twenty first century,

<v Speaker 1>and he put over Michael Cole. Michael Cole, just to

<v Speaker 1>clarify here, is not one of the twenty five names

<v Speaker 1>on that list. He is one of the basically honorable

<v Speaker 1>mentions on that list. And what really struck me is

<v Speaker 1>that it wasn't just Michael Cole. Now I should mention

<v Speaker 1>Joe Testator is on the top twenty five list, I

<v Speaker 1>believe because he's a real sports voice. I heard him

<v Speaker 1>this weekend. He was doing college football, so Testatur is

<v Speaker 1>on there. They mentioned that, But what really struck me

<v Speaker 1>is that it wasn't just that Michael Cole was casually

<v Speaker 1>mentioned by the author as like an honorable mention. It

<v Speaker 1>was Jim Ross and Michael Cole, and they never mentioned

<v Speaker 1>Jim Ross. And I understand that Jim Ross doesn't work

<v Speaker 1>for WWE right now, and he hasn't been there in

<v Speaker 1>many years, Like I understand that, but his voice is

<v Speaker 1>so and will always be synonymous with WWE. Like his

<v Speaker 1>most famous calls, which are some of the most famous

<v Speaker 1>calls in wrestling history, are from when he worked for WWI.

<v Speaker 1>He was also mentioned in that And to not even

<v Speaker 1>mention his name and just completely ignore that is so

<v Speaker 1>fucking petty to me. Like that really really stuck out

<v Speaker 1>to me here. I'm not saying that they had to

<v Speaker 1>like celebrate it, but like to just completely ignore the

<v Speaker 1>fact that he was mentioned alongside Michael Cole. They really

<v Speaker 1>were mentioned almost as like a tandem, like those were

<v Speaker 1>the two wrestling names, you know, like on the list.

<v Speaker 1>I just thought that was so fucking petty. But get

<v Speaker 1>for Michael Cole. I mean, look, Michael Cole has been

<v Speaker 1>doing this for a very long time, and kudos to him.

<v Speaker 1>He's been there for many, many years. He's gotten his

<v Speaker 1>flowers in recent years when people used to shit on

<v Speaker 1>him all the time, and he's very good at what

<v Speaker 1>he does. But I just thought, how can you just

<v Speaker 1>completely leave out Jim Ross when he's such an important

<v Speaker 1>part of the fabric of this company and some of

<v Speaker 1>the most famous calls in WWE of all time, and

<v Speaker 1>to not even mention the name is just ridiculous to me.

<v Speaker 1>But after this, we had what ended up being the

<v Speaker 1>best match on the entire show. We had John Cena

<v Speaker 1>one on one against Logan. Paul Sina got the monster

<v Speaker 1>reaction that you would expect here for his final appearance,

<v Speaker 1>his final match ever in Paris, Alisha Taylor gave him

<v Speaker 1>the greatest of all time introduction that he gets every

<v Speaker 1>time he comes out on TV now because Mark Nash

<v Speaker 1>was not there, so Alicia Taylor did it. She was

<v Speaker 1>a ring announcer. Logan used his titanium fist to his advantage.

<v Speaker 1>Early in the match, Sena fought back. He did the

<v Speaker 1>weakest looking ten corner punches that you will ever see.

<v Speaker 1>My god, oh my goodness. Sena tried a monkey flip.

<v Speaker 1>Paul landed on his feet booted. Sena Logan came off

<v Speaker 1>the middle rope with a blockbuster and then a delayed

<v Speaker 1>vertical suit plex. He was holding I would say he

<v Speaker 1>was holding Scena up there for a good five or

<v Speaker 1>six seconds. I mean, he lost some mass over the years,

<v Speaker 1>but Sena is no small man, so he dropped him

<v Speaker 1>on the supplex only for a two count. Logan hit

<v Speaker 1>a leaping European uppercut in the corner, and shockingly, I

<v Speaker 1>was not expecting this. Michael Cole described it as Csorrow like.

<v Speaker 1>I was like, come again. I was not expecting a

<v Speaker 1>Cesorrow mentioned here on this show, especially in the same

<v Speaker 1>week that Csorrow was main eventing the other show. It

<v Speaker 1>was very Cesorrow like. Seena landed a series of shoulder

<v Speaker 1>tackles and connected with a five knuckle shuffle seen a

<v Speaker 1>lifted Paul Logan, though worked out of it. He went

<v Speaker 1>to the apron and he followed with his version of

<v Speaker 1>the buckshot lariat for a two count. You know they

<v Speaker 1>were previously they were referring to it as the snapshot lariat,

<v Speaker 1>and there was no mention of that here, so I

<v Speaker 1>don't know if they just forgot that they had given

<v Speaker 1>it a name, or if the name has already been dropped.

<v Speaker 1>I mean everyone's going to call it a buckshot anyway.

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, there there was no mention of it being

<v Speaker 1>a snapshot lariat anymore. Guess the name didn't stick. Paul

<v Speaker 1>went for his Paul from Grace frog splash. Seena got

<v Speaker 1>the knees up and then he hit an attitude adjustment

<v Speaker 1>for a near fall. Sina went for another one. Logan

<v Speaker 1>countered into an octopus hold and we got an Antonio

<v Speaker 1>ANOCHI mentioned here. Scena countered he sank in an stfu.

<v Speaker 1>I believe he called it by that name. Paul got

<v Speaker 1>to the ropes, so we got the rope break. Scena

<v Speaker 1>followed up with a tornado DDT that earned him the

<v Speaker 1>near fall. Logan went for the knockout shot, seen him

<v Speaker 1>move though and delivered a shoulder tackle. Logan came back

<v Speaker 1>and caught Seena with a zigzag for a two count.

<v Speaker 1>Paul went for his version of a buck shot again. Sena, though,

<v Speaker 1>caught him and planted him with a Baron Corbin esque

<v Speaker 1>End of Days and poor Baron Corbin. You know, we

<v Speaker 1>had Michael Cole refer to the upper cut before as

<v Speaker 1>csorrow like, and then when Logan hit the zigzag, they

<v Speaker 1>mentioned dob Ziggler seeing it hits the end of days.

<v Speaker 1>No mention of end of Days, no mention of Baron Corbin,

<v Speaker 1>poor Bishop Dyer, not even worthy of a mention. Wade

<v Speaker 1>Barrett called it a I think it was like a

<v Speaker 1>variation of a flatliner, only for a near fall. You

<v Speaker 1>talk about protected moves, I mentioned the bro kick a

<v Speaker 1>little while ago. The end of Days is one of

<v Speaker 1>the most protected moves ever in WWE. I think only

<v Speaker 1>one person, maybe someone after did and I just don't remember.

<v Speaker 1>To my recollection, Drew McIntyre may well be the only

<v Speaker 1>person to ever kick out of an end of Days,

<v Speaker 1>and if somebody kicked out after that, there weren't very

<v Speaker 1>many who did. That was a WrestleMania a few years ago.

<v Speaker 1>But I remember Corbin mentioning that undertaker, I think is

<v Speaker 1>the one who may have given him that advice, where

<v Speaker 1>protect your finisher, you know, protect your finish and don't

<v Speaker 1>let people just kick out, which is true. I wish

<v Speaker 1>more people would take that advice, but that is that

<v Speaker 1>is still one of the more protected finishing moves that

<v Speaker 1>a wrestler has used ever. In WWE's The End of Days,

<v Speaker 1>Sina lifted Paul, but Logan worked out of it. Went

<v Speaker 1>to the top rope, where he landed a swanton bomb

<v Speaker 1>and then followed that with a standing moon salt for

<v Speaker 1>a two count. Logan hit another running uppercut. Paul went

<v Speaker 1>for another one, he missed, and Sena slammed him. Logan

<v Speaker 1>came up bleeding from the nose. Then we had boy,

<v Speaker 1>you want to tell that John Cena had his working

<v Speaker 1>shoes on here he hit An Angel's wings. I thought

<v Speaker 1>he was going for a pedigree at first. He did

<v Speaker 1>the double underhook and he got Logan up and he

<v Speaker 1>held him there and then dropped him face first. So

<v Speaker 1>we had John Cena doing the Christopher Daniels Angels wings.

<v Speaker 1>Sena then ran it Logan. Logan countered into a pop

<v Speaker 1>up uppercut again cesorrow like, but it didn't quite connect

<v Speaker 1>the way he wanted it to. Yeah, he caught Sena

<v Speaker 1>like in the chest, not really in the face. Logan

<v Speaker 1>pulled the shoulder tackle combo, or pulled off the shoulder

<v Speaker 1>tackle combo that Sena usually does set up for a

<v Speaker 1>five knuckle shuffle. Logan ran the rope Scena, though, popped

<v Speaker 1>up and grabbed him and delivered an attitude adjustment, which

<v Speaker 1>was only good for an ear fall. Logan kicks out.

<v Speaker 1>Sina hit a standing rana and then a code read

<v Speaker 1>for an ear fall, and for the five thousandth time

<v Speaker 1>in the match, or at least it felt that way,

<v Speaker 1>John Cena lifted Logan for an attitude adjustment. Logan wiggled

<v Speaker 1>free hit Sena with his knockout punch. It was not enough,

<v Speaker 1>though Scena kicked out. Logan went to the top. He

<v Speaker 1>connected with the pull from Grace quickly hauled ass to

<v Speaker 1>the opposite corner and Seena rolled. He rolled closer to

<v Speaker 1>that corner to accommodate him, and Logan went up. He

<v Speaker 1>went for a second paul from Grace landed a second one.

<v Speaker 1>Sceena kicked out. At two, Logan connected with a five

<v Speaker 1>knuckle shuffle. He lifted Scena. Sena countered out, and then

<v Speaker 1>he pulled off a styles clash again only four a

<v Speaker 1>near fall. Sina went to the middle rope. He was

<v Speaker 1>going to try for an avalanche AA. Logan shoved him off,

<v Speaker 1>then hit a crossbody off the top. Scena caught him,

<v Speaker 1>rolled through, got up to his feet. He placed Logan

<v Speaker 1>on his shoulders and hit the attitude adjustment. He quickly

<v Speaker 1>transitioned into another AA attempt. Logan slipped out at this point.

<v Speaker 1>Now he totally is no selling the attitude adjustment that

<v Speaker 1>he just got. He just got hit with an attitude

<v Speaker 1>adjustment which is supposed to be seen his finish. Sina

<v Speaker 1>went for a second one, right, Logan counters out of it.

<v Speaker 1>You would never know he just got hit with an AA.

<v Speaker 1>He tried, He threw a punch. I think Sena ducked

<v Speaker 1>picked him up. Hit the second AA anyway. Apparently the

<v Speaker 1>second one knocked him loopy, not the first one, and

<v Speaker 1>Sina covers him and he gets the three count and

<v Speaker 1>John Cena wins. John Cena, as I said earlier, has

<v Speaker 1>now wrapped up the month of August, and in the

<v Speaker 1>month of August, he has capped it off by having

<v Speaker 1>the two best matches he has had all year, thirty

<v Speaker 1>seven minutes against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Great match. Love

<v Speaker 1>that match, I mean it blew away there WrestleMania match

<v Speaker 1>with a Bazuka here. A few weeks later, he comes

<v Speaker 1>out here with Logan Paul, who does not have the

<v Speaker 1>level of experience that a Cody Rhods does, and he

<v Speaker 1>has a twenty six minute match that wasn't quite the

<v Speaker 1>banger that the Cody Roads match was, but I still

<v Speaker 1>thought it was an excellent match. And again, imagine what

<v Speaker 1>we could have had. Imagine what we could have had

<v Speaker 1>if the Rock was not obsessed with turning Cody Rhodes

<v Speaker 1>heel and Triple H came up with the idea to

<v Speaker 1>turn John Cena heel instead, to get the Rock to

<v Speaker 1>calm down about Cody Rhads going heel, perhaps we would

<v Speaker 1>not have ended up in this situation. Better late than never.

<v Speaker 1>An excellent match with scene A playing his greatest hits.

<v Speaker 1>What he was doing here was incorporating even the moves

<v Speaker 1>that he himself was not necessarily doing. But clearly they

<v Speaker 1>were incorporating moves from some of his past rivals like

<v Speaker 1>Cesaro and Dov Ziggler and aj styles. Right, they were

<v Speaker 1>sprinkled through. I don't know where that fucking angels wings

<v Speaker 1>came from, but clearly they were sprinkling in some moves

<v Speaker 1>from his past and pass matches that he had, and

<v Speaker 1>he had his working shoes on. Here he went from

<v Speaker 1>five moves of doom to a solid nine here in

<v Speaker 1>this match. It was quite something to see. It was

<v Speaker 1>also a trademark John Cena match. You have countless attitude

<v Speaker 1>adjustments or attitude adjustment attempts and kickouts. It's been a

<v Speaker 1>staple of his matches now, going back over a decade,

<v Speaker 1>going back at least to the Rock matches. That's how

<v Speaker 1>far back that goes. So that's just been a staple.

<v Speaker 1>And you know, the spot calling and stuff, and if

<v Speaker 1>you watch for it, it's all right there. You know.

<v Speaker 1>That's always been a staple of these John Cena matches.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't take away from the quality though of this one.

<v Speaker 1>Here Crab was hot for most of it. They would

<v Speaker 1>randomly break out into song and dance and they were

<v Speaker 1>going nuts for a lot of the near falls, and

<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of them here. But the atmosphere

<v Speaker 1>really did help play a role in this match. Logan, Look,

<v Speaker 1>Logan more than held out his end of the bargain. Logan,

<v Speaker 1>Paul is very good. Logan, Paul is very athletic. There's

<v Speaker 1>things he can do in these matches that John Cena

<v Speaker 1>simply cannot do. There's things that he can do in

<v Speaker 1>these matches that John Cena couldn't do ten or fifteen

<v Speaker 1>years ago, so he's very good at that. But you know,

<v Speaker 1>he was where he needed to be for some of

<v Speaker 1>the key spots. There were really no moments that stand

<v Speaker 1>out to me on his part where he screwed something

<v Speaker 1>up or brought the match down in some way. You know,

<v Speaker 1>he worked with Cina and I thought the two of

<v Speaker 1>them worked very well together. Now, when the match was over,

<v Speaker 1>Sina went over to the young fan from Brussels. He's

<v Speaker 1>been on all these shows, the young fan, the kid

<v Speaker 1>from Brussels back in March when he keeled on that

<v Speaker 1>kid in the crowd in his first heel promo. That

<v Speaker 1>kid was on SmackDown on Friday in Leon in Leon, France,

<v Speaker 1>and Sina went over to him. I talked about this

<v Speaker 1>in my SmackDown review. The kid had his face buried

<v Speaker 1>in his phone. Sena is right in front of him,

<v Speaker 1>He's got his arm around him. Sina is staring him

<v Speaker 1>in the face, and this kid is probably just frantically like,

<v Speaker 1>oh I got to get to the camera. App like, dude,

<v Speaker 1>look up, John Cena is right here. You're on live TV, bro.

<v Speaker 1>So they had that moment because Sina went into the

<v Speaker 1>crowd to prove to Logan Paul that you know, we

<v Speaker 1>all have a bad day, and he wanted to go

<v Speaker 1>over to the kid and personally apologize to him and

<v Speaker 1>give him a hug. So that kid was back again

<v Speaker 1>on this show, and Sina knew exactly where he was.

<v Speaker 1>He was right there in the front row, and Sina

<v Speaker 1>went over to him, and again this time, the kid

<v Speaker 1>had no phote in his hand. The kid was enjoying

<v Speaker 1>the moment, looking right into the camera, and it was

<v Speaker 1>a nice moment. But again, I sit here and I

<v Speaker 1>wonder who is this kid related to? Which employee that

<v Speaker 1>works for WWE? Is this kid? Is this kid related

<v Speaker 1>to I must know Holy planted fan, I must know

<v Speaker 1>the answer to this question. But good for him. And

<v Speaker 1>then he went over Sena did and he kissed his

<v Speaker 1>wife Shay. He went over and hugged Jelly Roll and

<v Speaker 1>post Malone, and then he got back into the ring

<v Speaker 1>one final time to celebrate. So it was a nice

<v Speaker 1>moment there at the end. I'm glad he won. I

<v Speaker 1>was a little worried they might give it to low

<v Speaker 1>just because I don't really want to see scene and

<v Speaker 1>just lose and put everybody over for the rest of

<v Speaker 1>this run. When you put everybody over, you get nobody over.

<v Speaker 1>So he should lose his final I do think he

<v Speaker 1>should lose his final match. I mean, we'll see who

<v Speaker 1>they put him in the ring with in that final match,

<v Speaker 1>but I think he after losing the title, you know,

<v Speaker 1>get back to his winning ways for a little bit. Obviously,

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be wrestling Brock at Wrestle Palooza, and

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Brock is just back for the

<v Speaker 1>Sena match this year and they're going to hold off

<v Speaker 1>for his next program and we don't see him again

<v Speaker 1>until next year, or if he's back as full time

<v Speaker 1>as Brock can be. If Brock is back, we still

<v Speaker 1>don't know. Brock was not on this show. Brock was

<v Speaker 1>never rumored for this show. There was a rumor online

<v Speaker 1>about Brock being spotted in Paris. That was bullshit. That

<v Speaker 1>was a photo from Canada. Recently, Brock Lesnar is not

<v Speaker 1>scheduled to be back on SmackDown until September twelfth. September twelfth,

<v Speaker 1>they're going to be in Norfolk, Virginia, so we have

<v Speaker 1>one smack Down between now and then. That's the one

<v Speaker 1>this coming Friday, I would imagine that's when Nick all

<v Speaker 1>this will make the announcement. Do not expect to see

<v Speaker 1>Brock back on TV until September twelfth. He is scheduled

<v Speaker 1>for September twelfth, September nineteenth, and that would then lead

<v Speaker 1>into September twentieth, which is Russell Palooza. So we'll have

<v Speaker 1>to wait and see exactly what the explanation is of

<v Speaker 1>Brock being back when and if we get to hear

<v Speaker 1>from him. I thought we were going to get an

<v Speaker 1>explanation for why he attacked Cody Rhodes when he feuded

<v Speaker 1>with Cody, and we never got one, So I'm not

<v Speaker 1>going to assume that we're going to get anything. It

<v Speaker 1>may just be that Brock shows up and gives a

<v Speaker 1>couple of f fives and that's about it. But it

<v Speaker 1>sure would be nice to get some sort of explanation

<v Speaker 1>for why now, but don't expect to see him for

<v Speaker 1>a couple more weeks. Jackie Redmond was shown outside Seth

<v Speaker 1>rollins locker room. Rollins walked out and Redmond brought up

<v Speaker 1>the fact that Rollins is without his crew, and Seth said,

<v Speaker 1>it's always two s. It's always got Bremode. Hey, at

<v Speaker 1>least it wasn't Brie Bella with the big reveal at

<v Speaker 1>the end of the show. How fucking awful would that

<v Speaker 1>have been? That would have been terrible. Besseth said he's

<v Speaker 1>always two steps ahead. The world thinks that he's at

<v Speaker 1>a disadvantage tonight, but he asked Jackie if she remembered

<v Speaker 1>who won the main event a WrestleMania. Rolin said that

<v Speaker 1>he's never needed anybody and he is a multi time

<v Speaker 1>world champion. He's the greatest in ring performer in the

<v Speaker 1>history of the industry, he said. Rollin said he will

<v Speaker 1>remind the world why he is a visionary, said that

<v Speaker 1>if he can't keep the title by himself, then he

<v Speaker 1>does not deserve to be the champion. And Michael Cole

<v Speaker 1>back at ringside, reminded everybody that Paul Hayman and Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns are both in the hospital. Bron Breaker and Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reed are barred from the building. They're not going to

<v Speaker 1>be part of this match. And this match was the

<v Speaker 1>main event. It was the four weight match for the

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight Championship with Seth Rollins defending against Cmpunk, against

<v Speaker 1>La Knight and against Jay Usso. And you know for

<v Speaker 1>all of the awful shit that we saw in those

<v Speaker 1>videos today about fans swarming Ria Ripley and Amos and

<v Speaker 1>all that, on a happier note, just show that not

<v Speaker 1>all fans are dicks. There was a video yesterday that

<v Speaker 1>I saw of l A. Knight in a playground I

<v Speaker 1>guess somewhere in France in Paris, playing a game of

<v Speaker 1>pickup basketball with some fans. He was just having a

<v Speaker 1>basketball game. Now, imagine if you would have gotten injured

<v Speaker 1>during that game, that would have been terrible. But no,

<v Speaker 1>he was just hanging out with some fans and playing basketball.

<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, that's cool. See that's a cool moment.

<v Speaker 1>We need more shit like that. So anyway, it was

<v Speaker 1>La Knight coming out after Jay Usso who came out

<v Speaker 1>first through the crowd. Then it was Punk and then

<v Speaker 1>the champion entered last. All four men, they were sizing

<v Speaker 1>each other up. Punk kicked j out of the ring

<v Speaker 1>as payback from what happened on Raw. Rollin's bailed out

<v Speaker 1>of the ring. He left Night in Punk alone. Night

<v Speaker 1>got the better of their exchange. Rollin they'll slip back

<v Speaker 1>in to take advantage Jay and Knight. They took turns

<v Speaker 1>punching Rollins. Also, the fans can go back and forth

<v Speaker 1>and chant yeat and yeah or is it yeah and yeats?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know whichever order you want to put them in.

<v Speaker 1>Rollins found himself surrounded by the babyfaces, so they all

<v Speaker 1>put the boots to him. Of course, Punk and Knight

<v Speaker 1>they couldn't get along because each man wanted to get

<v Speaker 1>their hands on seth Rollins. Jay talked them into working together,

<v Speaker 1>so they all took turns hitting spots on Rollins, Jay

<v Speaker 1>and Punk. They decided to yeat Night though, thought they

<v Speaker 1>should focus and get a table, so Punk gave Jay

<v Speaker 1>a shove and told him to get the tables. Doing

<v Speaker 1>his best Bubba Ray Dudley impression. Jay did help Punk

<v Speaker 1>get a table before then superkicking him. Jay also superkick

<v Speaker 1>Knight before going after Rollins in the crowd. They all

<v Speaker 1>wound up back in the ring, traded spots until Rollin's

<v Speaker 1>hit Punk with a pedigree, Rollin hit Night with a

<v Speaker 1>buckle bomb for two, Jay with a frog splash for

<v Speaker 1>another near fall. Then it was Night's time to shine

<v Speaker 1>and he hit moves on all three men. It was

<v Speaker 1>Punk's turn next, He got to do a tower of

<v Speaker 1>doom Spot. He brought down La Night and Jay Usso

<v Speaker 1>off the top. Moments later, Night spotted Punk on the apron,

<v Speaker 1>and Punk I think he was looking. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if he was looking down at somebody on the ground

<v Speaker 1>or looking into the crowd, but he's on the apron

<v Speaker 1>and he's got his back turned and he just can't

<v Speaker 1>help himself. So Night rushes over and he knocks them.

<v Speaker 1>Punk off the apron and Punk is a slim gym

<v Speaker 1>table on the outside. Punk falls off the apron. He

<v Speaker 1>lands on the slim gym table, but he bounces off

<v Speaker 1>of it. The table breaks. I don't know what these

<v Speaker 1>fucking tables are made of. Whatever it is, it's the

<v Speaker 1>exact opposite of these new announced desks. So the table

<v Speaker 1>broke right down the middle, but again it was more

<v Speaker 1>like Punk kind of bounced off of it and then

<v Speaker 1>he landed on the floor, basically the same thing Punk

<v Speaker 1>had done to La Knight on Raw and Knight shrugged

<v Speaker 1>it off, shrugged his shoulders just like Punk did to him.

<v Speaker 1>Hit rollins with a bft, Jay broke up the cover.

<v Speaker 1>Knight repeatedly bound Jay's head off the announced table before

<v Speaker 1>doing the same to Seth Rollins. Knight then placed Rollins

<v Speaker 1>on top of the French announced desk, and he looks

<v Speaker 1>up like he's Logan Paul. He's gonna go to the

<v Speaker 1>top row, and he's significantly older than Logan Paul, but

<v Speaker 1>damn it, he's going up top. So he climbs up

<v Speaker 1>to the top row and Jay usso briefly gets up

<v Speaker 1>on the apron to try to stop him. Knight kicks

<v Speaker 1>him away, but that momentary distraction gives Seth Rollins all

<v Speaker 1>the time he needs to roll off the desk just

<v Speaker 1>as La Knight comes flying off with this diving elbow drop,

<v Speaker 1>and he took a wicked bump through the announced desk.

<v Speaker 1>It was a rough bump, it was It was honestly

<v Speaker 1>the biggest bump of the entire match. And La Knight

<v Speaker 1>just crashed and burned through that announced table and that

<v Speaker 1>was pretty much it for La Knight in this match.

<v Speaker 1>He did not have another offensive for the rest of

<v Speaker 1>this match. Jay went for a spear on Seth, but

<v Speaker 1>as he flew in, Rollins kind of jumped up and

<v Speaker 1>grabbed him in a pedigree position and dropped him with

<v Speaker 1>a pedigree covered him. Jay kicked out. Jay managed to

<v Speaker 1>make a comeback. He hit an USO splash. Punk though

<v Speaker 1>broke up the cover with an elbow drop. Punk hit

<v Speaker 1>Jay with the GTS as he covered Jay usso though

<v Speaker 1>here comes seth. He flies in with a stomp and

<v Speaker 1>he stomps on Punk's head, goes for the pin, only

<v Speaker 1>gets a near fall out of it. Rollins begins screaming

<v Speaker 1>at Punk about I hate you, I hate your family.

<v Speaker 1>Rollins then hit curb stumps to Jay. He went over

<v Speaker 1>to where La Knight was laying in the rubble of

<v Speaker 1>the table on all fours, hit a stomp on him.

<v Speaker 1>Not that he was getting back into the match anyway,

<v Speaker 1>but now you knew he was done for the night,

<v Speaker 1>so that was it for La Night. Back inside, Rollins

<v Speaker 1>places Punk's head in between a chair and he goes

<v Speaker 1>for a stomp. Punk, though avoids it, and he manages

<v Speaker 1>to hit a GTS and Rollins falls backwards into the ropes,

<v Speaker 1>bounces off the ropes right back onto Punk's shoulders and

<v Speaker 1>Punk is gonna set up for one more go to sleep,

<v Speaker 1>and he's taking his time, and the camera is kind

<v Speaker 1>of tight on CM Punk and I'm thinking, okay, there

<v Speaker 1>might well be a new member there might be a

<v Speaker 1>fourth member of the vision here coming out? Who's it

<v Speaker 1>going to be? Who from NXTA, Maybe Who's it going

<v Speaker 1>to be? Who's coming out here? And Punk is standing

<v Speaker 1>there and he's looking straight ahead and he's talking shit,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, just do the fucking move, bro, But

<v Speaker 1>then you see somebody roll into the ring cloaked in

<v Speaker 1>all black, like an all black hoodie with a hood

<v Speaker 1>can't really see who it is, and this person delivers

<v Speaker 1>a low blow to see him Punk, and then they

<v Speaker 1>reveal themselves to be Becky Lynch. Rollins then stumps Punk's

<v Speaker 1>head onto the chair and he pins him to retain

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship twenty five minutes into this. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>was actually just shy of the length of the John

<v Speaker 1>Cena Logan Paul match. Rollins and Becky then kiss and

<v Speaker 1>they celebrate their victory as the show goes off the air. Well,

<v Speaker 1>at least La Knight did not take the losing fall.

<v Speaker 1>I thought Knight was going to take the losing fall.

<v Speaker 1>Other people thought that Jay Usso was going to take

<v Speaker 1>the losing fall. I didn't think it would be Punk,

<v Speaker 1>just because Punk already got pinned at SummerSlam this month.

<v Speaker 1>But they went with Cem Punk, so at least La

<v Speaker 1>Knight got spare. He lost on Raw Monday Night. It

<v Speaker 1>would have been fucking terrible if he would have come

<v Speaker 1>out here and got pinned again. I didn't expect him

<v Speaker 1>to win the championship, but at least don't let the

<v Speaker 1>guy take the losing fall again. Punk takes another l

<v Speaker 1>from Seth Rawlins, which at this point it just feels

<v Speaker 1>inevitable that he's going to be the one to beat

<v Speaker 1>Rollins for the world champion. It just feels that way, right,

<v Speaker 1>And maybe it doesn't have to be Rawlins, but it

<v Speaker 1>is inevitable at this point that this man is going

<v Speaker 1>to have to get his payoff from all of these

<v Speaker 1>screw jobs and all of these losses. It probably will

<v Speaker 1>come at WrestleMania. The match itself, some people might have

<v Speaker 1>this as their match of the show or one of

<v Speaker 1>the best matches in the show. The match was okay.

<v Speaker 1>I was not a big fan of it. It didn't

<v Speaker 1>do anything for me, I'm sorry, especially for like a

<v Speaker 1>big pl main event. The crowd was quiet for large

<v Speaker 1>portions of it, too, so there were definitely parts of

<v Speaker 1>this match that the crowd sounded kind of kind of

<v Speaker 1>bored by and it being the main event. That's not

<v Speaker 1>obviously a great thing. It just never felt like it

<v Speaker 1>got out of first gear for most of it. It

<v Speaker 1>really should have been just Rollins against Punk if we're

<v Speaker 1>being honest here, especially at Punk was going to be

<v Speaker 1>the one to take the losing fall anyway, That's what

<v Speaker 1>it should have been. Should have just gone ahead and

<v Speaker 1>just done Seth Rollins against CM Punk and been done

<v Speaker 1>with it, but they felt compelled to throw the other

<v Speaker 1>two guys into it. I like the pairing of Becky

<v Speaker 1>and Seth on TV. Obviously they make a good pair

<v Speaker 1>off TV. The last time we saw them as an

<v Speaker 1>on screen pairing, it was an absolute disaster and it

<v Speaker 1>actually turned a lot of fans against them. The way

<v Speaker 1>that Vince did it as baby Faces, it was so forced,

<v Speaker 1>it was so corny. It just didn't work. This is different,

<v Speaker 1>you know. Now they're heels. And I think that Becky,

<v Speaker 1>if she were to become a regular part of this faction.

<v Speaker 1>And when I say regular, I mean just a regular

<v Speaker 1>member going forward, you know, as long as the vision

<v Speaker 1>is a thing, she should be part of the group.

<v Speaker 1>I like that idea. I would be okay with that

<v Speaker 1>I think I would add Becky Lynch as a permanent

<v Speaker 1>member of this group. Whether she stays a permanent member

<v Speaker 1>or not remains to be seen. But one thing is

<v Speaker 1>very clear. When Punk came out to the ring, it

<v Speaker 1>was audible, you know. He mentioned April, and he mentioned

<v Speaker 1>Larry Right doing this for you and bringing the gold home.

<v Speaker 1>And then towards the end of the match, when Seth

<v Speaker 1>was just completely frustrated and just he stomped him and

<v Speaker 1>Punk kicked out and he couldn't beat this guy, he

<v Speaker 1>starts going off about I hate you and I hate

<v Speaker 1>your family, and then the very next thing we see

<v Speaker 1>is Seth's family, his wife come out to save the day,

<v Speaker 1>and Punk ends up getting screwed yet again, as he

<v Speaker 1>was at WrestleMania, as he was at summerslim fucked over

<v Speaker 1>again by Seth Rawlins And without telling you, they basically

<v Speaker 1>want you to believe that this is going to pave

<v Speaker 1>the way for the return of aj Lee, because how

<v Speaker 1>could it not. How could any rational person watching this

<v Speaker 1>not think, hey, maybe this means that aj Lee is

<v Speaker 1>coming back. So if ever, there was a time where

<v Speaker 1>it felt like, holy shit, this might really happen, because

<v Speaker 1>aj Lee has a lot of fans out there who

<v Speaker 1>have been dying to see her come back to WWE

<v Speaker 1>for a very long time. So it may not mean

<v Speaker 1>something to you, or it might. But even if it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean something to you, if she was to come back,

<v Speaker 1>if they hit her music and she was to come back,

<v Speaker 1>that would be a big fucking deal. And I don't

<v Speaker 1>think that they would tease it this much and do

<v Speaker 1>something that would make it so obvious in people's heads

<v Speaker 1>that hey, we might actually get this without actually doing it,

<v Speaker 1>because that would that would just be mean. Okay, that

<v Speaker 1>would just be a mean thing to do. And it's

<v Speaker 1>one thing if AJ just doesn't want to come back.

<v Speaker 1>Up to this point, she hasn't wanted to come back,

<v Speaker 1>or else she would have been back by now, we

<v Speaker 1>would have seen her in the Royal Rumble one of

<v Speaker 1>these years. But to do it in the way they

<v Speaker 1>did it, it seems pretty obvious to me that there's

<v Speaker 1>a very good chance we're going to get her back.

<v Speaker 1>And then you could do a mixed tag match, you know,

<v Speaker 1>you could do Seth and Becky against Punk and AJ.

<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't know, I don't know when I mean,

<v Speaker 1>they got a ple coming up in a few weeks,

<v Speaker 1>you know, Wrestle Palusa, because I was thinking about this,

<v Speaker 1>like Seth is gonna win here, who does he defend against? Next?

<v Speaker 1>Do you just you stick with Punk? How long are

<v Speaker 1>you gonna do this for? I would get away from

<v Speaker 1>it for a while and then circle back around to

<v Speaker 1>it if that's the plan, Let's say for the Rumble

<v Speaker 1>or for WrestleMania. You can't just do Seth in Punk

<v Speaker 1>every fucking month for the rest of the year. So

<v Speaker 1>if not Punk, and they've already done jay Us, so

<v Speaker 1>they've already done l a Night, Well, then who else? Right?

<v Speaker 1>Aj Styles is fighting for the Intercontinental title, He's challenging

<v Speaker 1>Dom tomorrow for the championship, so it's not gonna be him.

<v Speaker 1>There's no other obvious person, you know, Gunther's still out

<v Speaker 1>gun there's a heel anyway, but Gunther's out right. He

<v Speaker 1>had that nasal injury or whatever it was. So it's

<v Speaker 1>just it's not obvious to me who that next you

<v Speaker 1>know person is gonna be anyway, So like, what match

<v Speaker 1>do you do with Seth? Well, maybe he doesn't defend

<v Speaker 1>the championship at all. Maybe that's how we get a

<v Speaker 1>tag team match. It would make sense, and it would

<v Speaker 1>be a very big attraction that they could put up, because, look,

<v Speaker 1>they're going to load up that first ESPN show. It's

<v Speaker 1>not just Brock and seeing it. They're gonna want to

<v Speaker 1>come up with as many attractions as they can. Shock

<v Speaker 1>me if we find out I'm Raw tomorrow night that

<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna get a new women's champion crowned until

<v Speaker 1>September twenty. They may put it off until then for

<v Speaker 1>all we know. So they're gonna want to load that

<v Speaker 1>first ESPN show up as much as possible. Are we

<v Speaker 1>looking at a brock lesnar return and an aj Lee

<v Speaker 1>return on the same show? Very possible. But I like

<v Speaker 1>the Parry, I like the pairing, and look, Paul Hayman

<v Speaker 1>if he's in the hospital. I don't think having Becky

<v Speaker 1>is as one of the de facto mouthpieces of this

<v Speaker 1>new group is a bad idea. I know she got

<v Speaker 1>herself in some trouble on Monday with the Ozzy Osbourne comments.

<v Speaker 1>I mean I wasn't offended by it. I didn't really

<v Speaker 1>see what the big deal was. I by and large

<v Speaker 1>liked the work you know that Becky has done since

<v Speaker 1>she's come back, so I'm in favor of aating her

<v Speaker 1>to the group and we'll see what happens as far

<v Speaker 1>as the aj Lee stuff is concerned. But for me,

<v Speaker 1>this was a two match show, not the main event.

<v Speaker 1>On seeing a Logan Paul, Seamus and Russev. Those are

<v Speaker 1>the two best matches on the show. Everything else to

<v Speaker 1>me pretty average stuff. The Peacock era of PLS ends

<v Speaker 1>with a pretty solid thumbs in the middle effort. If

<v Speaker 1>I had to classify it one way or the other,

<v Speaker 1>for me, it would be somewhere in the middle. Let's

<v Speaker 1>take a look at the Twitter pole though, see what

<v Speaker 1>you guys think. Report card style, ABC and D. What

<v Speaker 1>did you think of Clash in Paris? Twenty six point

<v Speaker 1>five percent thumbs I'm still doing thumbs Twenty six point

<v Speaker 1>five percent give it an A grade, forty four percent

<v Speaker 1>give it a B, seventeen percent give it a C,

<v Speaker 1>and twelve percent give it a D. That is with

<v Speaker 1>seventeen hundred votes in count. Now we have a poll

<v Speaker 1>in the YouTube chat. This is a thumbs up, thumbs

<v Speaker 1>in the middle, thumbs down. So we got another eleven

<v Speaker 1>hundred votes, so close to three thousand votes total. Here

<v Speaker 1>forty nine nine percent thumbs up thirty seven percent thumbs

<v Speaker 1>in the middle, fourteen percent thumbs down. Today's episode is

<v Speaker 1>sponsored by Hymns. It's an experience a lot of men

<v Speaker 1>are terrified of. They look in the mirror one day

<v Speaker 1>and they notice their hair is starting to thin. It

<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen at the same age for everyone. For some

<v Speaker 1>it happens earlier than others. But maybe it runs in

<v Speaker 1>your family. Maybe it's a hereditary thing. There are lots

<v Speaker 1>of reasons that it happens. But you see it and

<v Speaker 1>you think, well, that's it. My life is over. It's

<v Speaker 1>baseball hats for me from now on. Seriously, do you

<v Speaker 1>know how many men are walking around right now with

<v Speaker 1>a Mets hat on their head who probably couldn't even

<v Speaker 1>name three players on the entire team. They just need

<v Speaker 1>an excuse to cover up on top. But guys, you

<v Speaker 1>don't need to live your life that way. It happens

<v Speaker 1>way more than you think, and there is a way

<v Speaker 1>to reverse the problem. It really works with Hymns. You

<v Speaker 1>whether he defends at wrestled Palooza or Crown Jewel. Who

<v Speaker 1>is it against Roman's gone for a while. Who does

<v Speaker 1>he defend that championship again? Who is the next obvious

<v Speaker 1>name in line for seth rawlins, assuming it's not Punk,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know who that name is.

<v Speaker 1>Let's go through your super chats here. I see we're

<v Speaker 1>eight out of fifteen on the bonus goal in the chat.

<v Speaker 1>Oh Man Clash in Paris coming to the end very quickly.

<v Speaker 1>Of these international shows. We have a two pm start

<v Speaker 1>time Eastern for RAW tomorrow. Just be aware of that.

<v Speaker 1>I'll be live at eight just like I was tonight

<v Speaker 1>eight pm Eastern for the Raw review. But after that

<v Speaker 1>we're back to normal. They're back on US soil, so

<v Speaker 1>it'll be back to normal. As far as the scheduling

<v Speaker 1>of these shows, it was both of them too, was

<v Speaker 1>WWE and AW. They went international around the same time.

<v Speaker 1>First one that came in first few super chats from

<v Speaker 1>our friend Dried Chicken Without Flavor says he was watching

<v Speaker 1>AW Collision over Clash in Paris today, says, by the way,

<v Speaker 1>FTR wanted all of the smoke with the Philly crowd,

<v Speaker 1>old school heel heat Becky Lynch tells everyone you're here,

<v Speaker 1>There's nothing I fear, and I know that my heart

<v Speaker 1>will go on the vision, and Paul Hayman joins in

<v Speaker 1>and also tells everyone one will stay forever this way,

<v Speaker 1>safe in our heart. A little Selene Dion, I see,

<v Speaker 1>really a little Celeine Dion for Terrible dry Chicken. Did

<v Speaker 1>Night Punk and Jay beat up Rawlins? He asked before

<v Speaker 1>the main event even went on. They did, but not enough, apparently,

<v Speaker 1>because they were still unable to win completely inept they

<v Speaker 1>went after each other too much, and they softened each

<v Speaker 1>other up just enough for seth Rawlins to pull out

<v Speaker 1>the win. Never learned their lesson. Holliday won ninety seven,

<v Speaker 1>says Hey Solo, hope they give Balor another world title

<v Speaker 1>run in the next year or so. It's crazy that

<v Speaker 1>he never held the gold since his one day reign

<v Speaker 1>in twenty sixteen. People would say the same thing about

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens. The only reason Kevin Owens even had that

<v Speaker 1>run was because Balor got hurt. Do I think Balor's

<v Speaker 1>getting the world title run in the next year. I

<v Speaker 1>don't Dry Chicken says, uh boy, he's just singing to himself.

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch told Seth Rollins, because I'm your lady and

<v Speaker 1>you are my man, whenever you reach for me, I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna do all that I can. You need to come

<v Speaker 1>up with some questions, brother, That's what you need to do.

<v Speaker 1>Robbie h La Night is the second winningest superstar in

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five. Hard to believe the way he is booked.

<v Speaker 1>Is that a real stat he's the winningest superstar in

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five? He has nothing to show for it.

<v Speaker 1>Seth officially has his Stephanie McMahon Helmsley. They're gonna call

<v Speaker 1>it the man's vision. I bet the man's vision. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean again, I don't Whatever they call it,

<v Speaker 1>they can call it. But I like the pairing. I

<v Speaker 1>like adding heard to the faction full time. I'm for it.

<v Speaker 1>I'm okay with it. Dry Chickens says, what do Puff

<v Speaker 1>Daddy and Peppy Lapew have in common? Can't stop? Won't stop?

<v Speaker 1>Pick one French fries, French toast or French kiss French fries,

<v Speaker 1>Fuck everything else. Magnificent Matt says, have you seen any

<v Speaker 1>of these great HBO shows Six Feet Under, Entourage or

<v Speaker 1>Eastbound and Down. I've seen episodes of six Feet Under.

<v Speaker 1>I never watched the entire series. The other two I

<v Speaker 1>have not watched, although I will say I have not

<v Speaker 1>seen Game of Thrones. I have not seen that one.

<v Speaker 1>Venom Kitetsu Americano against Tonga Loa for the twenty four

<v Speaker 1>to seven titles should main event WrestleMania would put butts

<v Speaker 1>in seats and really move the needle well, more like

<v Speaker 1>sticking the needle in the arm is more like it.

<v Speaker 1>Arabian Night. WWE is going to continue this never ending

<v Speaker 1>punkin Rollins feud until the Royal rumble. You say the

<v Speaker 1>Royal rumble, I say probably WrestleMania. Also, five months in

<v Speaker 1>and seven plees, Alistair Black still has not been on one.

<v Speaker 1>Has his return been a bust so far? Yes it has.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that they're trying to bury him. I

<v Speaker 1>think that they probably will push him soon to something

<v Speaker 1>a little bit more. But so far, yes, it's been

<v Speaker 1>a bust. Bender mc simpson, whoever created the logo for

<v Speaker 1>this pay per view, should be fired. How do you

<v Speaker 1>not have the Eiffel Tower as either the L or

<v Speaker 1>the A in Clash in Paris, they should have had

<v Speaker 1>you as the designer. I didn't like the I didn't

<v Speaker 1>like the overall artwork for this show to be in with.

<v Speaker 1>I know what they were going for, but I think

<v Speaker 1>it's some of the weakest they've had all year. Honestly,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just don't find it to be

<v Speaker 1>visually appealing. Corey Blake with the ten dollars, super chat, Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Solom monster, awesome job as always. We all know montees

<v Speaker 1>Ford has top singles written over him, but I think

<v Speaker 1>monster heel version of Dawkins can work as well. What

<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts? I think that out of a monster heel,

<v Speaker 1>I think heal version of Dawkins can work. That's he's

<v Speaker 1>not a top heel. He's not a top heel. But

<v Speaker 1>I think a heel version of Angelo Dawkins could work. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I do. We've got Prince Vegeta. They should have had

<v Speaker 1>Shamus win that match. Russev barely gets a reaction. His

<v Speaker 1>return has been a flop. Him and Alistair Black both.

<v Speaker 1>I hope Seamus wins the IC title. Don't know if

<v Speaker 1>the h Man do it. The h man will do it.

<v Speaker 1>I think they're well aware of the fact that that's

<v Speaker 1>something that needs to happen at some point, but they're

<v Speaker 1>just gonna take their time with it. I mean, that

<v Speaker 1>could be a WrestleMania moment. I don't see it happening soon,

<v Speaker 1>but it could be a WrestleMania forty two, WrestleMania forty

<v Speaker 1>three moment. It'll happen. I have faith it'll happen. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>that story is just such a slam dunk, such a layup.

<v Speaker 1>Bender says Logan gave Seena his best match in years.

<v Speaker 1>It should have been five to ten minutes shorter. I

<v Speaker 1>hate that they didn't mention Seena hitting the end of days. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I enjoyed the match with Cody More. I

<v Speaker 1>thought that was the better match, but it was still excellent,

<v Speaker 1>still a great match. Jeremy Rose in my voice, thank

<v Speaker 1>god Nicky didn't win. Thank god Nicky did not win.

<v Speaker 1>Bender Mick Simpson also, let's go Phillies. Yes, let's go

<v Speaker 1>into the wood Chipper. I agree. Jeremy Roe says, Nicky

<v Speaker 1>thinks she's the Hogan of women's wrestling in terms of

<v Speaker 1>popularizing it. Trailblazing or whatever term they like to use.

<v Speaker 1>But she has no impact then or now and needs

<v Speaker 1>to go away. Please. So Jeremy is no fan of

<v Speaker 1>Nicky Bella? What about Bree You're a fan of Brie Bella.

<v Speaker 1>You're a fan of Bree Cheese, Michael Games, Wrestle Palooza

<v Speaker 1>or Survivor series, Seth and Becky against punkin a j book,

<v Speaker 1>It guaranteed feels like it feels like it. But I

<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna want to load up that first ESPN

<v Speaker 1>show as much as possible. That would be one way

<v Speaker 1>to do it. Do you want to have attractions on

<v Speaker 1>that show? I mean seeing a brock is already an attraction,

<v Speaker 1>you know, for some not for everybody. That would certainly

<v Speaker 1>be one that you could add to the lineup. Alexander

<v Speaker 1>with the nine to ninety nine, you would think all

<v Speaker 1>the shit that Roxanne went through with her stalker, the

<v Speaker 1>wwe would have had the girls surrounded by security. Wwe

<v Speaker 1>should be held responsible if something bad happens. I just

<v Speaker 1>think they need to, you know, look very closely what's

<v Speaker 1>been going on, and at least for certain people, take

<v Speaker 1>the necessary measures to protect them when they're on the

<v Speaker 1>rug for a company that is making money hand over

<v Speaker 1>fucking fist in the way that they are making more

<v Speaker 1>money now than they've ever made before. They can afford it,

<v Speaker 1>Boomerang with all that TKO money, there's no excuse giving

<v Speaker 1>their star. There you go, giving their star security detail

<v Speaker 1>everywhere from the airports to walking the stre like these

<v Speaker 1>big time musicians get. You'll never see this with Beyonce, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>or Taylor Swift. They mentioned her tonight too. They mentioned

<v Speaker 1>the fact that they topped the gate record in that building.

<v Speaker 1>They topped Taylor Swift last year, and everybody cheered, yay,

<v Speaker 1>we did that, little baby fire pan to thirty five

<v Speaker 1>months of membership. There is a cover of Brave's theme

<v Speaker 1>Live in Fear by Suplex Sound. Give it a listen.

<v Speaker 1>It's very, very good. I can't believe it's been two

<v Speaker 1>years since Bray died. It has been too It doesn't

<v Speaker 1>feel like two years, does it, But it has been

<v Speaker 1>two years. It's crazy, Alexander. On top of everything, Rhea

<v Speaker 1>admitted on Chris van Vliet that she has anxiety with

<v Speaker 1>large crowds surrounding her not too long ago, and then

<v Speaker 1>this video happens. Yeah, I mean they're just they're tempting

<v Speaker 1>by not taking some sort of action. Rhea is truly

<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest stars in the entire company. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>there's no reason that there should not be some security

<v Speaker 1>detail with her at all times when she's just sort

<v Speaker 1>of out and about like that. Jack Davis almost four

<v Speaker 1>hours for six matches. Thank god they don't do ten

<v Speaker 1>to twelve like aw, yeah, thank god for that. GMB.

<v Speaker 1>What fascinates you about a tes Bianca heel pairing. I

<v Speaker 1>just think they both have a really good heel run

<v Speaker 1>in them, and putting them together as sort of this

<v Speaker 1>heel power couple I think could work. I mean I've

<v Speaker 1>been saying that for years. It's not like a new thing.

<v Speaker 1>I've said this before. I just think it could really

<v Speaker 1>I think it could work. I think they would play

<v Speaker 1>off each other very well, and I think it could work.

<v Speaker 1>And if they do it and it doesn't, I'll be

<v Speaker 1>the first to admit that I was wrong. But I

<v Speaker 1>think it could work. Uh. Nash DTV. After last week's

<v Speaker 1>Sound of I checked out your Michael Jackson rant. Now

<v Speaker 1>you're going back in the vault. Huh you're going back

<v Speaker 1>aways with that one? You're Michael Jackson rant avoided for

<v Speaker 1>years as a big MJ fan. I don't agree with

<v Speaker 1>all points, but I found it quite fair. Yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>mean you found it quite fair because it's less of

<v Speaker 1>a might it's not. Really. It's kind of wrong, frankly

<v Speaker 1>for people to call it a Michael Jackson rant. It's

<v Speaker 1>less of Michael Jackson rant and more rant about the

<v Speaker 1>media coverage and the media circus around his death. That's

<v Speaker 1>really what it was about. Everyone said, oh, it's Michael

<v Speaker 1>Jackson rant. It's really not. You actually listen to it.

<v Speaker 1>The real cso too. To me, it's crazy. They haven't

<v Speaker 1>named Logan's buckshot lariat the pall shot lariat. It's right there,

<v Speaker 1>the pall Shot. I'm sorry, brother, that's a terrible name. Sorry,

<v Speaker 1>Libido Bell, thank you for the twenty five. I was

<v Speaker 1>gifted a crochet squid from a beautiful coworker with a

<v Speaker 1>pink afro. She made it herself, spent five hours on it.

<v Speaker 1>Showed my gratitude. Didn't secure the digits. I hope I

<v Speaker 1>didn't fumble. I loved this squid. Maybe she's playing a

<v Speaker 1>game with you. Maybe she's playing a squid game. Very possible.

<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying bass Bear as Seamus gave Russev ten beats,

<v Speaker 1>his back was all beat was beat red. He posted

<v Speaker 1>a picture online of the aftermath. He was all bruised

<v Speaker 1>up right Chicken coming in with another super chat here.

<v Speaker 1>If aj Lee declines the return wwe will be pretty

<v Speaker 1>tempted to get Nicky Bella involved in the Punk Rollins feud.

<v Speaker 1>Since Becky Lynch is involved, that is a terrible idea

<v Speaker 1>that I hope you did not just will into existence. Man.

<v Speaker 1>That's you know, that is very possible, and that would

<v Speaker 1>be awful. That would be awful. We need to be

<v Speaker 1>done with the Becky Lynch and the Nicky Bella stuff.

<v Speaker 1>You want to get one stipulation match out of it

<v Speaker 1>on TV, be my guest, and then that needs to

<v Speaker 1>be the end of it. Bass Beer is god of seduction.

<v Speaker 1>Who wins in a shoot? Rajah Jackson or Psycho Sid.

<v Speaker 1>Psycho Sid Sid has his squeegee, so I think he'll

<v Speaker 1>be okay. Hoffman Entertainment Happy thirty third anniversary too. I'm fooked, Brett,

<v Speaker 1>I'm fuked. Yes. Summerslim In nineteen ninety two, Wembley Stadium,

<v Speaker 1>Bass Bears, Saint Matt Clark welcome to the channel. Got

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of new subs to welcome bass Bears, says

<v Speaker 1>Slim Bronson. Reed. Yeah, ever since he came back, he's

<v Speaker 1>noticeably slim down. Good for him. It's it's gonna be

<v Speaker 1>better for that ankle. You know. He has said the

<v Speaker 1>ankle is never going to be one hundred percent again.

<v Speaker 1>He will never have full mobility in the ankle that

<v Speaker 1>he broke, and he says he's in pain every day,

<v Speaker 1>but when he's out there in the ring, he kind

<v Speaker 1>of forgets about it, gets in the mindset, he gets

<v Speaker 1>in the zone and it hasn't affected his performance in ring.

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that ankle that he broke coming off the

<v Speaker 1>top of the cage and wargames, it'll it'll never be

<v Speaker 1>the same again. Prince Vegeta, with twenty two months of membership, says,

<v Speaker 1>apparently there has been no world champions in WWE born

<v Speaker 1>in the ninety Ever, what do you think will be

<v Speaker 1>the first one? Not saying bron Breaker, Well I was

<v Speaker 1>gonna say bron Breakers, So there you go. You can't

<v Speaker 1>say not bron breaker. You can't take away answers the

<v Speaker 1>answer is bron Breaker. Well, I don't even know what

<v Speaker 1>half these people were even born, like Roxanne Perez. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>when was Roxanne Perez born? Was she born in the

<v Speaker 1>early two thousands or was she born She probably born

<v Speaker 1>in the early two thousands, right, Yeah, I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, Libido Bell. What's Jesse Sailor Moonstar

<v Speaker 1>doing in the Impact Zone? I have no idea who

<v Speaker 1>that is, or rather, I have no idea who that's

<v Speaker 1>In reference to Venom Cantetsu canker, Oh my goodness, she's

<v Speaker 1>back again. More Bella's more bellas Venom Kitetsu says he

<v Speaker 1>has a canker sore on his left hansole, send help

<v Speaker 1>and silver nitrate. I got a pair of scissors here,

<v Speaker 1>I can. I can cut it out for you if

<v Speaker 1>you want Mystic j forty four fans want her back,

<v Speaker 1>wrestlers want her back, even her husband wants her back.

<v Speaker 1>It feels like the only person that doesn't want AJ

<v Speaker 1>back is AJ herself. Well, unfortunately for all the people

<v Speaker 1>who want her back, that's the only person whose opinion

<v Speaker 1>matters here. And if she doesn't want to come back,

<v Speaker 1>she ain't coming back. Frankly, I could see her looking

<v Speaker 1>at videos like Rhea Ripley being swarm by loser fans

<v Speaker 1>outside and saying I don't want to come back to that.

<v Speaker 1>Although I don't think Punk would allow that to happen.

<v Speaker 1>I think Punk would would shield her from all the weirdos.

<v Speaker 1>I think she'd be okay, uh, thank you, mystic Jay

<v Speaker 1>bass Beera says, remember the fans who went after Seth

<v Speaker 1>and Brett? Yes? I do. I remember that that fucking

<v Speaker 1>idiot who attacked Brett Hart at the Hall of Fame.

<v Speaker 1>I was actually sitting in Madison Square Garden watching the

<v Speaker 1>fucking g One Supercard with New Japan and Ring of Honor,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm looking on my phone. I'm like, Brett Hart attacked.

<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was attacked. I was like, oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, what do I need to do here? Who

<v Speaker 1>do I need to go after? Brian Mahoney got a

<v Speaker 1>name for Seth and Becky if she's in the Seth Riders.

<v Speaker 1>I will never not call this faction that tragically unfashionable

<v Speaker 1>or tragically fashionable, or tragically unfashionable. I think that works too.

<v Speaker 1>Alex with the twenty five Brother solo Jericho. If Jericho

<v Speaker 1>does come back, would you be interested in a feud

<v Speaker 1>with Punk again? I thoroughly enjoyed their twenty twelve feud,

<v Speaker 1>which became super personal. But did you think they're maybe

<v Speaker 1>a twenty eight match under delivered? Yeah, I mean it's

<v Speaker 1>not a favorite of mine. I think it was just

<v Speaker 1>overshadowed by the main event and by the end of

<v Speaker 1>an Ara hell in a Cell match, if I remember correctly,

<v Speaker 1>I think they had a rematch at the next show

<v Speaker 1>that was better. Same with Brian and Seamus. They had

<v Speaker 1>that two out of three falls match that was obviously

<v Speaker 1>much better than their twenty eight second eighteen second match.

<v Speaker 1>Punk and Jericho again. You know, look, I think the

<v Speaker 1>promos could potentially be interesting, but all the really interesting

<v Speaker 1>stuff would just be, you know, stuff that they probably

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be allowed to say in reference to stuff that

<v Speaker 1>happened in some other companies. So no, I'm not clamoring

<v Speaker 1>for it. I'm really not at this point. I feel

<v Speaker 1>like Jericho needs to be in the ring with somebody

<v Speaker 1>who can assist in making him look as good as

<v Speaker 1>he possibly can. I don't think Punk is that person.

<v Speaker 1>Lavelle Gilliard well AJ returned be a one off or

<v Speaker 1>one final run. We don't even know if she's coming

<v Speaker 1>back for sure, but if she is, I imagine it's

<v Speaker 1>probably for the purposes of this storyline, and you know,

<v Speaker 1>beyond that, she might be in the Rumble. Do I

<v Speaker 1>think it's like a full time run if she's back. No,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's I don't think it's any kind

<v Speaker 1>of like consistent run. But you know, it's like once

<v Speaker 1>you make that first appearance, others will follow. So I

<v Speaker 1>could see her being in the rumble, maybe having a

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania match. Dry Chicken says Obafemi. Deith Thrones seth rawlins Now.

<v Speaker 1>I talked about Oba on the podcast and what I

<v Speaker 1>would do with him. I would not rush him into

<v Speaker 1>a World Championship. I think that's a mistake. I told

<v Speaker 1>you what you need to do with Obafemi. Cameo. Johnson

<v Speaker 1>with the four ninety nine says, is there ways the

<v Speaker 1>WWE can better use all of their talent that they

<v Speaker 1>have on hand. It's plenty that don't have anything going

<v Speaker 1>on and are just never used. Yeah, it's called the

<v Speaker 1>creative team doing a better job of rotating talent in

<v Speaker 1>and out and coming up with ideas for the talent

<v Speaker 1>that aren't doing anything. That's the easiest answer to your question.

<v Speaker 1>The answer is yes, but that's on the creative team

<v Speaker 1>and bass Veras says, Undertaker beat Triple h at WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>each time with a different finisher. Well their first match.

<v Speaker 1>Their first match at WrestleMania seventeen, he used a last

<v Speaker 1>Ride power bomb. Their second match at twenty seven, he

<v Speaker 1>beat him with Hell's Gate. At twenty eight, he beat

<v Speaker 1>him with a tombstone. So yes, all three of Undertaker's

<v Speaker 1>finishers and he beat Triple Lights with each one of them.

<v Speaker 1>That is true. We are currently sitting at five hundred

<v Speaker 1>and sixty nine likes, nine out of fifteen on the

<v Speaker 1>bonus goals, so we're only going to do the one round.

<v Speaker 1>But we didn't do Be the Booker the other day

<v Speaker 1>because I went early for SmackDown. It was an Express review,

<v Speaker 1>it was in and out. But at least we're going

<v Speaker 1>to get the one round in here. So let's go

<v Speaker 1>ahead and be the Booker Paris edition. Ladies and gentlemen,

<v Speaker 1>it is now time to be the Booker Clash in

<v Speaker 1>Paris edition of Be the Booker, No Stipulations. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know why that's open no stipulations tonight. That's only for

<v Speaker 1>the bonus rounds. All right, feel like we haven't done

<v Speaker 1>this in several days. Look at this. Robert needs his fix.

<v Speaker 1>He needs his fix. He's got that vein. It's open.

<v Speaker 1>He wants that be The booker injected, let's do it.

<v Speaker 1>Choose two single stars to form a makeshift team. So

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to make a fake team here. We

<v Speaker 1>need real teams. We gotta make a makeshift team. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>and that's what we have to do because that's what

<v Speaker 1>the stipulations. And here I just said, we're not gonna

<v Speaker 1>have stipulations. The first thing we land on is a stipulation. Okay.

<v Speaker 1>Team number one member number one Eddie Guerrero, Latino Heat

<v Speaker 1>and teaming with Eddie Guerrero will be Hook. Hook and

<v Speaker 1>Eddie Guerrero are officially a tag team as an interesting team.

<v Speaker 1>Quite know what to make of that team? That could work.

<v Speaker 1>Just don't come out to Hook's new shitty music. Please

<v Speaker 1>come out to Eddie's music. Please. Eddie Garrero and Hook

<v Speaker 1>are going to take on the Nasty Boys. You know what.

<v Speaker 1>I Am going to pick a stipulation for this. I

<v Speaker 1>feel like this match needs a stipulation. I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>I just feel that way. It's going to be a

<v Speaker 1>going to be a molotov cocktail match. I'd pay money

<v Speaker 1>to see that. Eddie Garrero and the Dudley and the

<v Speaker 1>Nasty Boys and a Molotov cocktail match. That is a

<v Speaker 1>real stipulation, by the way, from everyone's favorite game, AW,

<v Speaker 1>Fight Forever. Is there anybody in the lobby like actually

<v Speaker 1>playing Fight Forever anymore? I wonder how many people are

<v Speaker 1>actually left playing the game? Is it in the double

<v Speaker 1>digits or is it in single digits. We begin with Lana,

<v Speaker 1>Happy Lana Day, everybody. I know what I'm pushing Lana

<v Speaker 1>against the former Impact Knockouts champion Mickey James, and I

<v Speaker 1>do love me some Mickey James, but this match was

<v Speaker 1>doomed from the start. Sorry Mickey. Good old hardcore country.

<v Speaker 1>All right, our main event of the evening, this is

<v Speaker 1>how we end beat The booker Ed says, there are

<v Speaker 1>six people playing Fight Forever on Steam right now. Six people,

<v Speaker 1>So we have how many more people do we have?

<v Speaker 1>We have about twelve hundred plus more than AW has

<v Speaker 1>on Steam playing the game. All right, So here we go.

<v Speaker 1>It is main event time. We have the Undertaker, Purple

<v Speaker 1>Glove Undertaker. You gotta specify the time period of the

<v Speaker 1>Undertaker that you're talking about. You have Great Glove Undertaker,

<v Speaker 1>you have Purple Glove Undertaker, you have Ministry Undertaker, you

<v Speaker 1>have American badass Undertaker, you have Big evil Undertaker, and

<v Speaker 1>you had some hybrid mix of the two, you get

<v Speaker 1>the fake Undertaker. The Undertaker against Yoko Zuna. It's a

<v Speaker 1>guilty pleasure of mine. The Undertaker Yoko zu inafeud and

<v Speaker 1>their matches are a guilty pleasure of mine. Now, funny enough,

<v Speaker 1>Undertaker and yoko Zuna actually had two casket matches, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go and do some stipulations here and see

<v Speaker 1>if we might actually be able to land on casket

<v Speaker 1>match Undertaker and Yoko Zuna in a lumberjack match. All right,

<v Speaker 1>I'll still give it the bell, although lumberjack match is

<v Speaker 1>not one of my favorite stipulations. Honestly, that second casket

<v Speaker 1>match kind of turned into a lumberjack match if all

<v Speaker 1>the lumberjacks were on yoko Zuna side, had about ten

<v Speaker 1>different guys out there stuffing them inside that casket. But anyway,

<v Speaker 1>there you go. There's your b the booker. Everybody bass beers,

<v Speaker 1>says Mohawk, Undertaker. Oh yeah, that's right. That's among the

<v Speaker 1>worst periods of the Undertaker was Mohawk Taker. Now we

<v Speaker 1>have LFG Undertaker. Now we have Undertaker backstage assisting at

<v Speaker 1>Triplemania Undertaker. We have Lucha Taker. That's his latest incarnation.

<v Speaker 1>Chuck Norris was there. Yeah, Chuck Norris was there. That

<v Speaker 1>was the second casket match Survivor Series ninety four. He

<v Speaker 1>kicked Jeff Jarrett right in the face. Jeff Jarrett took

<v Speaker 1>a bump for Chuck Norris. Yeah. If people wanted to

<v Speaker 1>see an Undertaker and Sting match, maybe they got What

<v Speaker 1>if they would have gotten Undertaker against against Vato's sting?

<v Speaker 1>Would people have wanted to see Vatos sting against the Undertaker?

<v Speaker 1>Bass Bevers says, could the Lumberjacks get Yoko in the ring?

<v Speaker 1>Get him in the ring? Yeah, well, yeah, that's a

<v Speaker 1>that's a tough question. I don't know. If he ends

<v Speaker 1>up outside. The whole point of the Lumberjacks is to

<v Speaker 1>throw people right back in the ring. They might not

<v Speaker 1>be able to get him back in the ring. May's

<v Speaker 1>the great Channel member for forty nine months solo. You

<v Speaker 1>being a Mets fan, I'm sure you've heard get Mets

<v Speaker 1>marized and it's cring cringly charming and sound like somebody

<v Speaker 1>came up with that on drugs. Yeah, I think I

<v Speaker 1>heard it once and that's I don't have to hear

<v Speaker 1>it ever again. I'm more a fan of the old

<v Speaker 1>school Mets song from the eighties. That's more my jam.

<v Speaker 1>The less said about the Mets right now, the Better

<v Speaker 1>just lost most of their games to the fucking Marlins.

<v Speaker 1>They scored nineteen runs in one game and they couldn't

<v Speaker 1>score hardly anything for the rest of the series. It's

<v Speaker 1>like their entire quota of runs they wasted in one game,

<v Speaker 1>so they had nothing left after that, they had nothing left.

<v Speaker 1>It's just awful, but at least they'll get a wild

<v Speaker 1>card spot. What was Yoko's heaviest weight while wrestling while

<v Speaker 1>he was active. I think he was active right until

<v Speaker 1>the very end, so I mean, the heaviest that I

<v Speaker 1>heard of him being was about eight oh four. So

<v Speaker 1>if he wasn't eight hundred, he was definitely somewhere in

<v Speaker 1>that seven hundred range. But a lot of state athletic commissions,

<v Speaker 1>like in New York just wouldn't allow him to wrestle

<v Speaker 1>because how could you he was such a liability. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>his weight was just out of control. And again, the

<v Speaker 1>heart can only support so much. You know, there's just

<v Speaker 1>a point in which the heart simply cannot function. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean you've heard the stories of WWE sending him

<v Speaker 1>Invader to a fat camp basically, or it was like

<v Speaker 1>a weight loss center, but they called it like a

<v Speaker 1>fat camp, and they would check in with him and

<v Speaker 1>he'd be like, yeah, yeah, I'm losing weight. I lost

<v Speaker 1>one hundred pounds and like, oh, that's great. Then they

<v Speaker 1>found out like he was completely just k fabe and

<v Speaker 1>just lying. He didn't lose anything. In fact, they caught

<v Speaker 1>him Invaders smuggling or having people for them smuggle fried

<v Speaker 1>chicken into the clinic so they could have fried chicken

<v Speaker 1>every night. It's like they didn't lose anything. They actually

<v Speaker 1>gained weight. They went to the Duke Weight Loss Center

<v Speaker 1>to lose weight, and they actually came out of it

<v Speaker 1>heavier than they were when they went in. You know,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are grown adults. You can only do

<v Speaker 1>so much. You can lead the horse to water, you

<v Speaker 1>can't force it to drink if they don't want to

<v Speaker 1>lose the weight and put the work and then they're

<v Speaker 1>not going to But then you're going to have a

<v Speaker 1>premature death. Unfortunately, that's what's gonna happen. People need to

<v Speaker 1>make their own decisions. The Winston slip. Which matches made

<v Speaker 1>the best use of the gimmick? What matches made the

<v Speaker 1>best use of the gimmick? I mean, pick your favorite

<v Speaker 1>stipulation matches, right, if you just answered your own question,

<v Speaker 1>you know, wwe always had the escape out over the

<v Speaker 1>top of the cage or through the door rule. To me,

<v Speaker 1>Brett Nowen made the best use of it. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>there's been so how many ladder matches. I mean, there's

<v Speaker 1>there's so many choices. There's a lot of great ladder matches,

<v Speaker 1>So I mean take your pick. I don't really have

<v Speaker 1>like a favorite lumberjack match, honestly. You know, when it

<v Speaker 1>comes to stuff like falls count anywhere, I think those

<v Speaker 1>hardcore twenty four to seven matches back in the Attitude era,

<v Speaker 1>they made the most of that stipulation. Like when Al

<v Speaker 1>Snow and Bob Holly wrestled out of the arena into

<v Speaker 1>the Mississippi River, I mean, how do you not love that?

<v Speaker 1>Or when Al Snow and the Big Boss Men SummerSlam

<v Speaker 1>I want to say Summer Slim ninety nine brawled out

<v Speaker 1>of the building into the street, across the street, into

<v Speaker 1>oncoming traffic into there was like a bar restaurant across

<v Speaker 1>the street. They went embrawled in there. That's what a

<v Speaker 1>false count anywhere match should be. You get a false

<v Speaker 1>count anywhere a match of these days, they're fucking lame.

<v Speaker 1>They don't take full advantage of the stipulation. They don't.

<v Speaker 1>They don't have fun with it. Everything is just very sanitized.

<v Speaker 1>And why even bother, why even bother having the stipulation

<v Speaker 1>if you're not gonna have fun with it? Abystle Zones.

<v Speaker 1>If late two thousands, Undertaker could wrestle the current roster,

<v Speaker 1>who would you want to see him work with? Gunther?

<v Speaker 1>Jacob Fought two and Logan come to mind. Logan Paul

<v Speaker 1>would be a great opponent for Logan. Paul would be

<v Speaker 1>bumping all over the place for him. Undertaker would love

<v Speaker 1>to work with Gunther. He has said that that could

<v Speaker 1>have been a WrestleMania match, So Undertaker and Gunther, Undertaker

<v Speaker 1>and Jacob Fought two would be I mean, Undertaker love

<v Speaker 1>working with the Samoans anyway. Look, Undertaker and Umaga would

<v Speaker 1>have been a great match. It's kind of surprising we

<v Speaker 1>never got an Undertaker Umaga program. I think those two

<v Speaker 1>would have worked really well together. But yeah, Gunther Jacob Fatu, Logan,

<v Speaker 1>Paul Seth Rollins. A proper match with aj styles I

<v Speaker 1>think would have been fun. The Boneyard match was fun,

<v Speaker 1>but they never had a real match inside a wrestling ring.

<v Speaker 1>Didn't They wrestle in a ball pitch? Yeah? That was

<v Speaker 1>when Crash Crash Holly was the twenty four to seven champ.

<v Speaker 1>The guys would just follow him everywhere and they wrestled

<v Speaker 1>in a place called fun Time USA here in Brooklyn.

<v Speaker 1>It's not there anymore. There's a storage a storage facility

<v Speaker 1>there now, but there used to be this. I mean

<v Speaker 1>fun Time USA was basically it was two levels and

<v Speaker 1>they had the you know, the hammer to test your strength.

<v Speaker 1>They had the bumper cars. Upstairs is where all the

<v Speaker 1>arcades were. They had tons of arcades and ski ball

<v Speaker 1>and there was a giant super slide that connected the

<v Speaker 1>top floor to the bottom floor. I rode that slide

<v Speaker 1>many times. And so when you watch that segment back

<v Speaker 1>from SmackDown where the head bangers are chasing him through

<v Speaker 1>fun Time USA. That's where they start. Crash is playing

<v Speaker 1>the arcades. The head Bangers attack and Crash goes down

<v Speaker 1>the super slide and the ball pit is right there,

<v Speaker 1>so yeah, they chase him through the airport. I think

<v Speaker 1>Crash escaped through the baggage the baggage machine. It was fun.

<v Speaker 1>It was fun. I missed that anyway, Thank you guys
