<v Speaker 1>Well, it definitely wasn't a C show this time. I

<v Speaker 1>think it's safe to say Crown Jewel is in the books.

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel was a very good show. Crown Jewel is

<v Speaker 1>more like in the B plus range. I would say

<v Speaker 1>if the last show was to see, this is definitely

<v Speaker 1>in the range of a BB plus because I enjoyed

<v Speaker 1>this show. I enjoyed largely this show off the back

<v Speaker 1>of one match in particular, which was John Cena and

<v Speaker 1>AJ Styles. You removed that match from this card, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be so generous. It was still

<v Speaker 1>a good show, but not nearly as good if you

<v Speaker 1>took that match out. And I will point out to

<v Speaker 1>you because I think it's worth pointing out that since

<v Speaker 1>his return to being a babyface after that failed heel

<v Speaker 1>run at the beginning of the year, John Cena, right

<v Speaker 1>before SummerSlam, right went back to being a babyface again.

<v Speaker 1>And here's a guy who and I will admit because

<v Speaker 1>I was one of these people who was saying it

<v Speaker 1>when John Cena would show up on occasion to do

<v Speaker 1>a match over the last few years, when John Cena

<v Speaker 1>would come in and have you know, a singles match

<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania with Austin Theory a couple of years ago.

<v Speaker 1>You know, you hear things like, oh, he's washed. That's it.

<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have it anymore, he can't go anymore. The

<v Speaker 1>man is washed. Right for a guy who was washed,

<v Speaker 1>I will point out to you that John Cena has

<v Speaker 1>stolen the show on three of the last four pls.

<v Speaker 1>So that doesn't sound like a guy who's washed me.

<v Speaker 1>It sounds like a guy who still has it within

<v Speaker 1>him to pull out something very special if the circumstances

<v Speaker 1>are right, and if he has the right dance partner

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with him. He proved that at SummerSlam.

<v Speaker 1>He proved it in Paris with Logan Paul because they

<v Speaker 1>had the best match on that show, and he proved

<v Speaker 1>it tonight at Crown Jewel with Aj Styles because these

<v Speaker 1>two men went out there and they had a fantastic match.

<v Speaker 1>They rekindled a lot of that old chemistry that they

<v Speaker 1>had when they began their feud back in twenty sixteen.

<v Speaker 1>And if you really look at all of the matches

<v Speaker 1>they had prior to this show, they have never had

<v Speaker 1>a bad match before. Never from the very first match

<v Speaker 1>that they had at Money in the Bank until that

<v Speaker 1>very last big pl match they had at the Royal

<v Speaker 1>Rumble We're Sena one number sixteen, and even the television

<v Speaker 1>match on SmackDown the year after that. Every single time

<v Speaker 1>these two get in the ring together, they put on

<v Speaker 1>an absolute masterclass in the ring. That again, you just

<v Speaker 1>have certain opponents that can bring the best out of you.

<v Speaker 1>That's what we got with John Cena and Cmpunk. That's

<v Speaker 1>what we got many times with John Cena and Edge Right,

<v Speaker 1>you didn't always get it, but with the right person.

<v Speaker 1>AJ Styles was that person. I will also point out

<v Speaker 1>to you that, and I was actually a little surprised.

<v Speaker 1>I don't recall the announcers even mentioning this. They mentioned

<v Speaker 1>it on TV during the week, but I don't think

<v Speaker 1>they mentioned this on the show. CERT didn't when the

<v Speaker 1>match was over. This was John Cena's one hundredth pl

<v Speaker 1>E win, So he now sits in second place all

<v Speaker 1>time in WWE, second only to the Undertaker with one

<v Speaker 1>oh seven. And obviously he's not going to pass the

<v Speaker 1>Undertaker because John Cena has I guess one ple E

<v Speaker 1>left unless you count Saturday Night's Made event as a

<v Speaker 1>premium live event, which I don't Uh, he's only got

<v Speaker 1>one left and that is Survivor Series. Actually, John Cena

<v Speaker 1>only has four dates left in general, and that is it.

<v Speaker 1>That is it. So much time wasted on that heel run.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're going to look back on it and

<v Speaker 1>there'll be the post mortem and everything once scene is

<v Speaker 1>actually done. But I'll tell you what, this last leg

<v Speaker 1>of the retirement tour, I am greatly enjoying it. I

<v Speaker 1>only wish we had more time and we could have

<v Speaker 1>made better use of this year. But this was a

<v Speaker 1>match I was hoping to get when they first announced

<v Speaker 1>that he was going to be going on this retirement tour.

<v Speaker 1>And you make you know, everyone makes their list the

<v Speaker 1>top five, top ten people you want to see him

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with, and I don't know that there

<v Speaker 1>would have been a single person who wouldn't have had

<v Speaker 1>aj Styles on that list. So I'm very happy we

<v Speaker 1>got the match. We got a lot of callbacks in

<v Speaker 1>this match. We've got a lot of people who were honored.

<v Speaker 1>I guess you would say by either Sina or AJ

<v Speaker 1>past foes of theirs, because remember, John Cena is not

<v Speaker 1>the only one whose career was coming to an end

<v Speaker 1>very soon. AJ Styles has already made it very clear

<v Speaker 1>he has done in the year twenty twenty six. He

<v Speaker 1>made it very clear in Australia again this week. So

<v Speaker 1>to see him making, you know, or putting together these

<v Speaker 1>moves to pay respect to people like staying in Samoa Joe,

<v Speaker 1>and then you see John Cena in there paying homage

<v Speaker 1>to all the men that he's not going to be

<v Speaker 1>able to step into the ring with because there's not

<v Speaker 1>enough time left. Whether it's Rusev or whether it's the

<v Speaker 1>Miz or whoever, it is only added to the match.

<v Speaker 1>It was just a really enjoyable twenty seven minutes, I

<v Speaker 1>want to say. Now, contrast that with another match on

<v Speaker 1>the show that went about his long and actually a

<v Speaker 1>little bit longer than the Scena an Aj match, and

<v Speaker 1>that match when it was over, I felt like there

<v Speaker 1>was no reason for that match to be as long

<v Speaker 1>as it was right. You could you could tell them

<v Speaker 1>the level of enjoyment I had for each of these matches.

<v Speaker 1>You had the Scena match where the thought never crossed

<v Speaker 1>my mind of oh, you know, this match has gone

<v Speaker 1>a little too long as compared to the main event,

<v Speaker 1>which was not a bad match, but that match I

<v Speaker 1>definitely felt like there was no reason for this match

<v Speaker 1>to be going thirty minutes, which is what it went.

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins is your Crown Jewel Champion for twenty twenty five.

<v Speaker 1>Last year it was Cody. This year at Seth, nobody

<v Speaker 1>should be surprised by that. They came into this match.

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins was in a zero for three hole right now.

<v Speaker 1>If this were the oh, I don't know, the Red Sox,

<v Speaker 1>let's say, of two thousand and four with the Yankees, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you would. You would expect them. They're gonna climb out

<v Speaker 1>of that hole and make history. I mean, who could

<v Speaker 1>have predicted that? But you look at the numbers here

<v Speaker 1>and it's just like, what does Cody Rhodes have to

<v Speaker 1>gain by beating some Deth Rollins? Absolutely nothing? Right that

<v Speaker 1>the outcome here was preordained from the moment they announced

<v Speaker 1>the match, But they try to wrap it around this

<v Speaker 1>story of Seth Rollins and Paul Hayman in self doubt

<v Speaker 1>creeping in and I have to win, I must win

<v Speaker 1>bron breaker and Bronson Reid going to Paul Hayman and saying, well,

<v Speaker 1>what happens if Seth loses? And Hayman telling Rollins right,

<v Speaker 1>the other week. You want to know what happens if

<v Speaker 1>you lose, You lose the respect of your peers, you

<v Speaker 1>lose the respect of your fellow Vision members. They no

<v Speaker 1>longer believe in the vision that you are putting forth,

<v Speaker 1>and they want you to believe that a Seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>loss here could be catastrophic for this faction. It could

<v Speaker 1>very well be the end of the Vision. But you

<v Speaker 1>had to know coming in this was not going to

<v Speaker 1>be the end of the Vision. In fact, it only

<v Speaker 1>made sense that this night would make the Vision even stronger,

<v Speaker 1>which meant Seth Rollins had to win, and it meant

<v Speaker 1>that Bronson Reid had to win his match against Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns because a loser he would look like had he

<v Speaker 1>come in and lost his second straight pl match to

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns. And I'm happy to say they did the

<v Speaker 1>right thing, and in fact, Bronson Reid did come out

<v Speaker 1>of this show on the winning end of things. But

<v Speaker 1>we'll get into all the different matches here. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>we also had Rhea, Ripley and Eosky against Oscar and

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie saying that story's been playing itself out now for

<v Speaker 1>several months on WWE television, and I mentioned Bronson Reid

<v Speaker 1>the biggest win of his career on this show, and

<v Speaker 1>then we had another Crown Jewel Championship match with a women,

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Vaquierre Tiffany Stratton. Unlike the Cody Rhods and Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins match which was actually coming into this show, had

<v Speaker 1>the best story. It had the richest history of any

<v Speaker 1>of the matches on this show, which is kind of

<v Speaker 1>funny now that I look back at this that we're

<v Speaker 1>talking about this five match pl e right, a Triple

<v Speaker 1>H special, and of all the matches on the card,

<v Speaker 1>the match that I enjoyed the most and to me,

<v Speaker 1>inarguably the best match on the entire show was the

<v Speaker 1>one that had absolutely no story. I mean, they have

<v Speaker 1>a history together, but that's not the story. There's no

<v Speaker 1>story about this match. They decided to put together a

<v Speaker 1>match between these two guys, knowing that, yeah, I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>Sena wanted to work with him, but they put this

<v Speaker 1>match together because now they wanted to put together this

<v Speaker 1>dream match that they could promote for the show. Sena

<v Speaker 1>never appeared once on television. We had not seen John

<v Speaker 1>Cena at all since he got destroyed by Brock Lesner

<v Speaker 1>at Wressell Palooza. They just announced the match, but that

<v Speaker 1>was the best thing on the entire show. Now, Stephanieva

<v Speaker 1>kaeron Tiffitty Stratton, no story there whatsoever. We have this

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jeweled Championship, which is bigger than most of the

<v Speaker 1>women they have on the fucking roster, and we had

<v Speaker 1>the champion on one brand facing the champion on the

<v Speaker 1>other brand for an even bigger belt that we will

<v Speaker 1>not see again for another three hundred and sixty five days.

<v Speaker 1>Not much to it. Really not a bad match, but

<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot to it, and definitely not something

<v Speaker 1>that anybody who's going to go back and have the

<v Speaker 1>hankering to go watch again. But when the show is over,

<v Speaker 1>I felt like there was nothing bad on the show,

<v Speaker 1>and there's one thing, one thing that is going to

<v Speaker 1>be memorable. If there's one thing that I do think

<v Speaker 1>people are going to go back and relive and watch

<v Speaker 1>over time, it is the scene of aj match. Everything

<v Speaker 1>else on the show really just felt mostly inconsequential and

<v Speaker 1>not particularly memorable. And that was really the story of

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel. I thought it was an enjoyable three hours.

<v Speaker 1>It was really all about one match, but it was

<v Speaker 1>better than Russell Palooza. I will say that this is

<v Speaker 1>your WWE Crown Jewel Perth review. It is Saturday, October eleventh,

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>did see on the Post Show they brought Triple H

<v Speaker 1>out again the way they do the Post shows now

<v Speaker 1>because they don't do the media quote unquote scrums anymore.

<v Speaker 1>So they have the panel which is usually Jackie red

<v Speaker 1>Mind and Biggie is there, and they and Peter Rosenberg

<v Speaker 1>and so they bring people out and you see the

<v Speaker 1>fans in the background. So they brought out Triple H,

<v Speaker 1>who of course comes out and he talks about what

<v Speaker 1>a great show it was, what a great night and

<v Speaker 1>all of this stuff. And I'm watching some of the

<v Speaker 1>highlights of this thing. And if you remember when the

<v Speaker 1>fans behind him, maybe it was Summer Slim, We're chanting,

<v Speaker 1>we want Cross, we want Cross, and he of course

<v Speaker 1>pretended like, oh you want Brock, well you got him. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>it had to be the night that brought came back

<v Speaker 1>a Summer slig Oh you want Brock, right, you want Brock,

<v Speaker 1>you got him? Yeah, selective hearing. So this time this

<v Speaker 1>is even better. So this time, you have fans chanting

<v Speaker 1>for MJF. I don't know where that came from, but

<v Speaker 1>you got MJF chance from the crowd. Of course he's

<v Speaker 1>no selling it and ignoring it, but there's no way

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't hear it. And then after that, after that,

<v Speaker 1>you've got fans that start chanting, we want Edge, we

<v Speaker 1>want Edge again. I don't know where that came from,

<v Speaker 1>and almost like under his breath, like he didn't like

<v Speaker 1>turn around to address them. But you know, Triple H's

<v Speaker 1>response is, well, you can't have him, which is true.

<v Speaker 1>I mean contractually, you just you can't. There's nothing he

<v Speaker 1>could do about it. So he says, you can't have him.

<v Speaker 1>And so what did the fans do? They begin to

<v Speaker 1>sing the lyrics to Metalingis. I felt like it's just

<v Speaker 1>like they're all like and half of them didn't even

<v Speaker 1>I don't think really know the words to the song,

<v Speaker 1>but they start singing the song anyway, as Triple H

<v Speaker 1>is going through his usual spiel about you know, what

<v Speaker 1>a great show and all this other nonsense, and these

<v Speaker 1>people are just they're too busy singing alter Bridge in

<v Speaker 1>the background. They're just look, they're just there to have

<v Speaker 1>a good time. Right. They were there for SmackDown on Friday,

<v Speaker 1>they were there for Crown Jewel. They're gonna have Raw

<v Speaker 1>again in Australia. It's gonna be another early start here

<v Speaker 1>on the East Coast. So we got Raw in Perth

<v Speaker 1>on Monday and you know, largely a hot crowd who

<v Speaker 1>did all the things that you would expect them to do.

<v Speaker 1>When you have these international crowds, the singing now is universal.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter if they're in the UK, if they're

<v Speaker 1>in Paris, France, they're in Australia, Canada. They all have

<v Speaker 1>to sing now. This is the new thing. They all

<v Speaker 1>have to sing. I'm begging them to come up with

<v Speaker 1>something new. You know they sing They basically just take

<v Speaker 1>the wrestler's name and they just sing the same song, right.

<v Speaker 1>It's kind of the same beat, like yeah, Roman Roman

<v Speaker 1>runs right, and then they'll just do the same thing

<v Speaker 1>over and over again with other people. It's like, come on,

<v Speaker 1>come up with some new material. Seriously, if you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>serenade us, it's the least. It's the least you could do.

<v Speaker 1>It's really all I ask. I will not be doing

<v Speaker 1>any singing tonight though, So you don't have to worry

<v Speaker 1>about that, but hit that like button, hit that subscribe button.

<v Speaker 1>Super chats are open. We've had a bunch of them

<v Speaker 1>in already, so I do appreciate the support. If you

<v Speaker 1>have questions and comments on the show, get them on

<v Speaker 1>in and we will go through them a little bit

<v Speaker 1>later on here in the stream. I am in the

<v Speaker 1>middle of a very busy weekend. We had, of course,

<v Speaker 1>a sold out House of Glory show last night, we

<v Speaker 1>had Crown Jewel Van early this morning. I am still

<v Speaker 1>preparing for tomorrow's podcast, not very well, but I'm trying

<v Speaker 1>so hopefully the show won't be too late tomorrow. And

<v Speaker 1>then tomorrow night is TNA Bound for Glory and I'm

<v Speaker 1>hoping I have the chance to go live for that.

<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot going on. And then of course

<v Speaker 1>it starts all over again eight o'clock in the morning

<v Speaker 1>with raw on Monday. So the work never ends. But

<v Speaker 1>I thank you for sticking with me for all of it.

<v Speaker 1>Now we get into this show here. Michael Call and

<v Speaker 1>Wade Barrett they handled commentary for the show, so they

<v Speaker 1>were on the call for this one. They opened with

<v Speaker 1>the Australian street fight between the Big Aussie himself. Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid out with Paul Hayman. So no bron breaker and

<v Speaker 1>definitely not getting any sort of heroes welcome, even though

<v Speaker 1>he is from the country. I don't know what part

<v Speaker 1>of Australia he's from, but that shouldn't matter, you know,

<v Speaker 1>he's still he's one of them. But no, they did

<v Speaker 1>not cheer for him when he came out, but he

<v Speaker 1>went one on one with the man that they did

<v Speaker 1>very much cheer for here, which was Roman Reigns. Rains

<v Speaker 1>was all Overread for the first I'd say five minutes

<v Speaker 1>or so here of this match. They ended up outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring. Rains found the trash can and he hit

<v Speaker 1>Read with it. But then he found a few toys,

<v Speaker 1>I guess for him to play with. He found a

<v Speaker 1>cricket bat, so he pulled that out and then he

<v Speaker 1>threw what might at Paul Hayman. He threw what Michael

<v Speaker 1>Cole said was a rugby ball. It was not the

<v Speaker 1>rugby ball that Michael Cole would have you believe that

<v Speaker 1>it was. It was an Australian rules football. This is

<v Speaker 1>a very serious thing here. You got to get it right.

<v Speaker 1>Australian rules football is what it was, so he threw

<v Speaker 1>it to Paul Hayman, which I thought was kind of funny.

<v Speaker 1>They got back in the ring, Rains used the cricket

<v Speaker 1>bat as a weapon, sent Read back out to the floor,

<v Speaker 1>so Rains went to ringside. As soon as he did, though,

<v Speaker 1>Read or Rains that Read steam rolled over him and

<v Speaker 1>briefly took control. Roman then worked him over with a

<v Speaker 1>kendo stick. You can't have a WWE street fight without

<v Speaker 1>a kendo sticks. It's just it's a prerequisite. Here, Rains

<v Speaker 1>grabbed the house mic. At that point, he told the

<v Speaker 1>crowd Perth, if you want tables, acknowledge me. So they

<v Speaker 1>chanted otc and acknowledged him, and he pulled out a

<v Speaker 1>slim gym table from underneath the ring. Reid hit Rains

<v Speaker 1>from behind, He ran him into the ring steps, and

<v Speaker 1>then he slid the table back underneath the ring. Instant heat.

<v Speaker 1>You want to get heat, he's the table. And then

<v Speaker 1>you shove it back under the ring. And you don't

<v Speaker 1>even have to stay into the word. You have to

<v Speaker 1>do anything, You don't have to say anything. The booze

<v Speaker 1>will just rain down upon you. Tables are just the

<v Speaker 1>biggest baby face in all of wrestling. So you do

<v Speaker 1>something like that, you want to get heat. That's one

<v Speaker 1>way to get heat. So Reid grabbed the piece of

<v Speaker 1>the ring steps and he battered Roman with it twice

<v Speaker 1>before tossing him back inside the ring. Reid pulled out

<v Speaker 1>two chairs and he hit Roman with one of them,

<v Speaker 1>which then he wedged in the corner of the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Reid set up a chair in the ring. Roman, though,

<v Speaker 1>shot back up and he hit a Samoan drop to

<v Speaker 1>this big sob right on top of the chair. This chair,

<v Speaker 1>This chair got just destroyed as soon as he dropped

<v Speaker 1>him on the chair. It's as if the chair like

<v Speaker 1>under the weight of Bronson Reed. This fucking chair just

<v Speaker 1>collapsed in a heap, just flattened it. Rains then ran

<v Speaker 1>Read into the chair that was wed in the corner.

<v Speaker 1>He hit him with a superman punch. Rains went to

<v Speaker 1>the corner. He let out his battle cry where I

<v Speaker 1>call it his al pacino. Huah. He let out his

<v Speaker 1>h huah. I don't know why that's funny to me read.

<v Speaker 1>They rolled out of the ring to avoid the spear,

<v Speaker 1>so instead, Rains went to the floor. He started to

<v Speaker 1>circle the ring. He was going to go for a spear,

<v Speaker 1>and what happened. Bron Breaker hops the barricade and he

<v Speaker 1>catches Roman before Roman can catch Reid, and he cuts

<v Speaker 1>him down with his spear. So Michael Cole said, there's

<v Speaker 1>nothing the referee can do because it's a street fight.

<v Speaker 1>There's no diequalification. Breaker hoisted reins up. He handed him

<v Speaker 1>off to Read, who power bombed him through the announced table.

<v Speaker 1>So that brought out the USSOS. So they did make

<v Speaker 1>the trip, even after Roman told him on rom Mounday night,

<v Speaker 1>I don't want you there. I don't want you there.

<v Speaker 1>I don't need your help. They were there anyway, Jimmy

<v Speaker 1>and Jay. He dropped Breaker with a double superkick and

<v Speaker 1>then did the same to Bronson Reid the usso's hip

<v Speaker 1>simultaneous hip attacks to Reid m Breaker the in opposite corners.

<v Speaker 1>Then he dropped Breaker with the one D so the

<v Speaker 1>USSOS they went up top for a double USO splash.

<v Speaker 1>Read those shoved Jimmy off the ropes. Breaker shot up.

<v Speaker 1>He grabbed Jay off the ropes and he military pressed

<v Speaker 1>him over his head and he dropped him onto his

<v Speaker 1>knees for a Gupbuster. So Breaker went to the floor

<v Speaker 1>and he ran around the ring before spearing Jimmy through

<v Speaker 1>the timekeeper's barricade. Reid went up top, Rains caught him

<v Speaker 1>with a superman punch and then a second one. Rains

<v Speaker 1>was ready to charge him for a spear, but he

<v Speaker 1>had to go over and he had to give a

<v Speaker 1>superman punch to bron Breaker to knock him off the apron,

<v Speaker 1>which he went ahead and did. Reid then hoisted up Roman,

<v Speaker 1>who fought free, and as Jay Usso came in for

<v Speaker 1>a spear of his own, Reid moved out of the

<v Speaker 1>way and Jay accidentally speared Roman through the table that

<v Speaker 1>was propped up in the corner. Uh oh, so Jay

<v Speaker 1>couldn't believe what he just did. Breaker returned to the

<v Speaker 1>ring and he speared Jay while Breaker dragged Roman over

<v Speaker 1>to the other corner so that his good buddy Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid can ascend to the top and come flying off

<v Speaker 1>with the tsunami splash. One tsunami splash is all it

<v Speaker 1>took to pancake Roman Reigns, and with that tsunami splash,

<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reid pins Roman Reigns in Perth. They actually did it.

<v Speaker 1>Good on them, good on them, the right call. I

<v Speaker 1>mean there should have been a no brainer. But you know,

<v Speaker 1>with these people, you never know, but good on them.

<v Speaker 1>That was the right call to make. That was absolutely

<v Speaker 1>the right call to make, because it now makes Roman's

<v Speaker 1>win over him at clash in Paris at least understandable

<v Speaker 1>if the plan had been to run this back and

<v Speaker 1>do it this way and give him the win here,

<v Speaker 1>understand right, But I mean, we've seen stuff before where

<v Speaker 1>they're just afraid. They're afraid to beat somebody, whether it's

<v Speaker 1>a Roman Reigns or even another big babyface, they just

<v Speaker 1>it's like they're allergic to doing it sometimes. And a

<v Speaker 1>guy like Roman Rains is a made guy. So whether

<v Speaker 1>you beat him clean or whether you beat him with

<v Speaker 1>some assistance, if Roman takes the loss, Roman Reigns is

<v Speaker 1>going to wake up the next day and he's still

<v Speaker 1>going to be Roman Reigns. He's still going to be

<v Speaker 1>the tribal chief of the OTC or whatever nickname he's

<v Speaker 1>going by this week. He's still going to be as

<v Speaker 1>popular as he was when he laid his head on

<v Speaker 1>the pillow the night before. Right, for him, nothing changes,

<v Speaker 1>But for the person he's in the ring with, that

<v Speaker 1>can mean the world. Right, that's a big deal. So

<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reid picks up again inarguably the biggest win of

<v Speaker 1>his career, and with this he becomes only the second man,

<v Speaker 1>the second man behind only Cody Rhodes, who has a

<v Speaker 1>singles pinfall win over Romans since twenty nineteen. That's against

<v Speaker 1>Baron Corbin when Roman was still the big dog. Baron

<v Speaker 1>Corbin pinned him. I want to say it was the

<v Speaker 1>TLC pay per view in twenty nineteen, Cody Rhodes and

<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reid. He's in rarefied air. Now. It's a very

<v Speaker 1>short list since you know this tribal chief Bloodline Roman

<v Speaker 1>stuff started back in twenty twenty. In terms of singles matches,

<v Speaker 1>those are the only two guys. And not only that,

<v Speaker 1>but Bronson Reid is now on a list where he

<v Speaker 1>has pinfall wins over Roman Reigns and Kazushka Okada. Not

<v Speaker 1>too many people can say that. In fact, I'm not

<v Speaker 1>sure if anybody can say that. I mean, I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>somebody will hear this and let me know if I'm wrong.

<v Speaker 1>I can't think of, I mean, who else would be

<v Speaker 1>on that list, at least in terms of like Bloodline

<v Speaker 1>Roman that he beat Roman Reigns and Okada. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>who else would even have the chance to have been

<v Speaker 1>on that list. I can't think of anybody, So it

<v Speaker 1>was a big win for him. Now, was it a

<v Speaker 1>clean wind? No, No, it wasn't clean and it would

<v Speaker 1>have been nice for Reid to shock the world and

<v Speaker 1>do it all by himself. Of course he had help

<v Speaker 1>from bron Breaker, but you know what, Roman had help

<v Speaker 1>from the USOS. He had backup of his own. So

<v Speaker 1>the way I look at it, it kind of balances

<v Speaker 1>things out a little bit. You know, Reid was out

<v Speaker 1>numbered as well when it comes to the USOS going

<v Speaker 1>out there. You had Jimmy and Jay and Roman and

<v Speaker 1>then Bronzon only had bron Breakers. So in a way,

<v Speaker 1>I mean it was kind of unfair. But I mean,

<v Speaker 1>as far as street fights go, this one was very basic.

<v Speaker 1>It did have a lot of interference. So the best

<v Speaker 1>I can really say about it is that it was

<v Speaker 1>a solid opener. It really wasn't anything more than that. Right,

<v Speaker 1>think about the way they built this up when they

<v Speaker 1>announced the stipulation on TV. It really built it up

<v Speaker 1>like if you're gonna beat this man, you're gonna have

<v Speaker 1>to do it in an Australian street fight, as if

<v Speaker 1>this was like a known thing that when he was

<v Speaker 1>on the independent scene in Australia, this was like his

<v Speaker 1>specialty or something that he was known for, Like he's

<v Speaker 1>deadly in these Australian street fights. Because I thought they

<v Speaker 1>were going to make it a stretcher match, and you

<v Speaker 1>hear that and it's like, again, the crowd had no

<v Speaker 1>reaction to that announcement when they made that stipulation, and

<v Speaker 1>I look at it and go, well, of course they

<v Speaker 1>have no real reaction to it because they see street

<v Speaker 1>fights every single week on TV. They see street fights

<v Speaker 1>on every single ple and they all have the same formula, right,

<v Speaker 1>you see the same weapons, the same slim gym tables

<v Speaker 1>and kendo sticks and they you know, take the top

<v Speaker 1>part of the stairs off and they have the chair

<v Speaker 1>across the back and it's like it's the same bullshit

<v Speaker 1>all the time. And so now it's an Australian street fight.

<v Speaker 1>And I joked the other day, I was like, well,

<v Speaker 1>what does that mean, Like are they going to throw?

<v Speaker 1>You know, what kind of objects? Are they going to

<v Speaker 1>find a thread? Sure enough, they had the rugby bat

<v Speaker 1>and they had the Australian football and that was really it.

<v Speaker 1>That was about the only unique stuff they could think of.

<v Speaker 1>I guess, to have that you wouldn't find in a

<v Speaker 1>normal street fight. That's all it was. And so as

<v Speaker 1>street fights go, this was pretty fucking tame. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>saying I want them to go in there. I want,

<v Speaker 1>you know, fucking Darby Allen ripping John Moxley's ear off

<v Speaker 1>and all this gore and shit. But you know, it

<v Speaker 1>was solid. I can't really say it was anything more

<v Speaker 1>than that. The bigger story wasn't the match itself, right,

<v Speaker 1>Reid winning was like one major story here. The real

<v Speaker 1>major story is what came after the match. Roman and

<v Speaker 1>the usso's are sitting in the ring right, not next

<v Speaker 1>to each other, but they're all sitting in the ring

<v Speaker 1>and they're just stewing. And they cut the music off

<v Speaker 1>and the vision has left and Rains is looking over

<v Speaker 1>at the ussos and he is scolding his cousins and

<v Speaker 1>he says, the whole world thinks I can't do shit

<v Speaker 1>on my own. I told you I'm going to do

<v Speaker 1>this on my own. And he go he looks at Jimmy,

<v Speaker 1>he goes, I love you. He looks at Jay and

<v Speaker 1>he goes, I love you, but he says, I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to see y'all until Christmas, and with that he leaves,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh man, like that's I mean, that

<v Speaker 1>cuts deep. Like he's not even inviting them to Thanksgiving

<v Speaker 1>dinner this year. I just pictured my head like this

<v Speaker 1>big like Samoan feast for Thanksgiving, like all the family

<v Speaker 1>members just I don't even know if they could find

<v Speaker 1>a place big enough to house all of them, but

<v Speaker 1>like one long table, yeah, something like that. And now

<v Speaker 1>they're not even invited. Now Roman says I don't want

<v Speaker 1>to see you until Christmas. That's brutal. But anyway, Roman

<v Speaker 1>leaves the ring and the fans begin to chant someone's

<v Speaker 1>in trouble, turning this from what was supposed to be

<v Speaker 1>a serious angle into comedy. Basically, Jay was very upset.

<v Speaker 1>He told Jimmy he always do him right, like he

<v Speaker 1>always looks out for himself. And I'm sitting here going like, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>no shit, I could have told you that, Like this

<v Speaker 1>is the same person that we saw for those thirteen

<v Speaker 1>hundred plus days when he was the champion, Like absolutely

<v Speaker 1>nothing has changed about Roman Reign since he lost that

<v Speaker 1>championship at WrestleMania last year to Cody Rose. Nothing, nothing

<v Speaker 1>except his music has changed. He has a new T shirt.

<v Speaker 1>That's about it. That's it. He came back. He's not

<v Speaker 1>acting any differently. He's telling people to acknowledge him. Right,

<v Speaker 1>nothing has changed. He was an asshole then, he's an

<v Speaker 1>asshole now. And the only difference is the fans cheer

<v Speaker 1>for him because the fans are assholes. But that's it.

<v Speaker 1>And yet they act like, oh, well, he always looks

<v Speaker 1>out for himself. He always he do him, he do him. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>no shit, like he's been hanging around this guy for

<v Speaker 1>years and years and years. But Jay's very upset about this,

<v Speaker 1>and Jay basically says I'm out. He says, I'm out,

<v Speaker 1>And that's how the latest Bloodline soap opera ended here

<v Speaker 1>on this show. Roman doesn't want to see them until Christmas,

<v Speaker 1>he says, but there is a Wargames match coming up

<v Speaker 1>before that, right after Thanksgiving, So I'm thinking that Roman

<v Speaker 1>is going to see his cousins a lot sooner than Christmas.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know that either one of the usos are

<v Speaker 1>going heel out of this whole thing. Jay has definitely

<v Speaker 1>been acting more heelish of late, which I like. I

<v Speaker 1>like that they've kind of tweaked this character to try

<v Speaker 1>to give it a harder edge. Roman can't go heel

<v Speaker 1>because he never won babyface. No matter what Roman does,

<v Speaker 1>you cannot call it a heel turn. If you do,

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you to your face you're wrong because he

<v Speaker 1>never went babyface. So it's impossible for him to go heal.

<v Speaker 1>But I don't see, you know, jay Uso actually going

<v Speaker 1>full blown heel, you know, and ending the yeat stuff

<v Speaker 1>like that's not gonna happen if Jimmy were to go heal,

<v Speaker 1>like it to me, like, that's not even that big

<v Speaker 1>of a deal, you know what I mean. So I

<v Speaker 1>don't And you've reunited the usso's I'm not really sure

<v Speaker 1>why you would want to split them up. So I

<v Speaker 1>don't see that happening. But you know, Roman, as far

<v Speaker 1>as him saying what he said here, like people say

<v Speaker 1>I can't do shit by myself. So the idea here,

<v Speaker 1>I guess with the character is that you know, clearly

<v Speaker 1>it's bothering him that people say he cannot win without

<v Speaker 1>help from his family, so he wants to go it alone.

<v Speaker 1>Now you know, that's that's the path that he wants

<v Speaker 1>to pursue. So Rains and Reid now are one win apiece, right,

<v Speaker 1>Roman won it clash in Paris, read one here at

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel. If they wanted to have a rubber match,

<v Speaker 1>they could get one more match out of this. You know,

<v Speaker 1>there's no reason that it has to stay fifty to fifty.

<v Speaker 1>They have a Saturday Night's main event coming up on

<v Speaker 1>November first. They could do the match there, you know,

<v Speaker 1>if they wanted to. But then somebody really does. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you could always have some sort of no contest finish,

<v Speaker 1>but you know somebody has to then win, and then

<v Speaker 1>it becomes like Roman just beat him, or do you

<v Speaker 1>have a Reid win again? I mean, you really want

<v Speaker 1>to solidify or read you haven't beat Roman a second time.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's the direction they want to

<v Speaker 1>go in here, But then you have wargames, you know

<v Speaker 1>at Survivor series that can't imagine the Vision is not

<v Speaker 1>going to be on the heel side in that match

<v Speaker 1>and Roman will be on the baby face side. And

<v Speaker 1>question then becomes who does he recruit? Well, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know that he'll be the captain necessarily, but if Roman's

<v Speaker 1>on the team, let's assume he would be the team captain,

<v Speaker 1>because why would Roman be on a team in taking

<v Speaker 1>orders from someone else who populates that team? Could it

<v Speaker 1>be the ussos would see I'm punk Bey on his team.

<v Speaker 1>Is John Cena going to be in Wargames? It looks

<v Speaker 1>like that's not the case if rumors are to be believed,

<v Speaker 1>So we'll see how the Wargames situation shakes out. After this,

<v Speaker 1>we had our first of two Crown Jewel Championship matches

<v Speaker 1>here on this show, this one with the women. It

<v Speaker 1>was the Women's World Champion Stephanie Vicaire one on one

<v Speaker 1>against the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton. Tiffany came into

<v Speaker 1>this match undefeated so far here in the year of

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, seventeen and zer record, which I say

<v Speaker 1>that out loud, and that reminds me of Jim Ross

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania twenty five when the Undertaker beat Sean Michaels seventeen

<v Speaker 1>and zero. That's what Tiffany Stratton was coming into this match.

<v Speaker 1>So they were both cheered pretty much equally. Yeah, you

<v Speaker 1>have two baby face champions here, I would say from

<v Speaker 1>entrance to exit, I don't really recall there being a

<v Speaker 1>moment in this match where either of these women up booed.

<v Speaker 1>Vicaire kept getting the better of Tiffany. She tried to

<v Speaker 1>submission Tiffany, though countered out with a back suplex. Stratton

<v Speaker 1>followed with a handspring elbow in an Alabama slam for two.

<v Speaker 1>Later on, she tried to swanton off the top and

<v Speaker 1>Vicaer got her knees up. Stephanie did the Devil's Kiss

<v Speaker 1>and the old version of her SVB backbreaker for a

<v Speaker 1>two count. Stratton came back with the rolling sent on,

<v Speaker 1>but then missed the prettiest moon salt ever, and Vicierre

<v Speaker 1>followed quickly with the corkscrew splash off the top that

<v Speaker 1>won her the Women's World Championship when she went one

<v Speaker 1>on one at Wressell Palooza with the Oh Sky and

<v Speaker 1>it was a thing of beauty. I mean, that move

<v Speaker 1>is a beautiful thing. But it was a rough landing

<v Speaker 1>for Tiffany because it looked like, I mean, she ate

<v Speaker 1>those knees, like right in the chest, like the chest

<v Speaker 1>in midsection. Stephanie's knees just landed right on top of her.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure she's fine. If anything, maybe it knocked the

<v Speaker 1>wind out of her better that those knees come down,

<v Speaker 1>I would say on her chest than on her face,

<v Speaker 1>I would say that would not have ended well. But

<v Speaker 1>she gets the clean win and Stephanie Vaquerre is the

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel Champion. Triple h gets in the ring after

<v Speaker 1>the match to present Stephanie with the Crown Jewel belt

<v Speaker 1>and the Crown Jewel ring because you get a belt

<v Speaker 1>and you get a ring, and he strapped the title

<v Speaker 1>around her waist, and this was I wish I would

<v Speaker 1>have taken a picture of this. This was hilarious. She

<v Speaker 1>straps or he straps this championship around her waist and

<v Speaker 1>it's I can't even say her waist. He basically strapped

<v Speaker 1>it around her body. This belt took up the majority

<v Speaker 1>of her upper body, let alone her midsection. This belt

<v Speaker 1>is gigantic and it reminded me of when liv Morgan

<v Speaker 1>won last year, and Live is even smaller than Stephanie.

<v Speaker 1>Ass comical, Like I remember thinking to myself because I

<v Speaker 1>guess Live was also she would have had to have

<v Speaker 1>been the Women's World Champion at that point, so she

<v Speaker 1>had two belts. But it's like, how does this girl

<v Speaker 1>on that tip over? I mean I would love to

<v Speaker 1>know how much that belt weighs. It's just it's so

<v Speaker 1>just absolutely over the top in terms of how large

<v Speaker 1>these belts are. But she was very emotional. Jackie Redman

<v Speaker 1>got in the ring to interview her, and she said

<v Speaker 1>that they all did this together. She said the title

<v Speaker 1>represented all of the emotional support from the fans that

<v Speaker 1>they gave her. She followed her dreams, the fans believed

<v Speaker 1>in her, and now she believes in herself. Basically the

<v Speaker 1>same speech that she gave after she won the Women's

<v Speaker 1>World Championship. And then she posed on the ropes as

<v Speaker 1>they shot off Piro over by the stage. Yes, the

<v Speaker 1>belt looked like a shield. It looked like body armor,

<v Speaker 1>like really gaudy body armor. They had a good wrestling

<v Speaker 1>match with a clean finish, right, never a bad thing

<v Speaker 1>to have a clean finish, but nothing terribly memorable. Again,

<v Speaker 1>there was no story of any kind. You compared the

<v Speaker 1>two Crown Jewel matches, right, polar opposites in terms of

<v Speaker 1>there was a real story independent of the Crown Jewel

<v Speaker 1>stuff going into the men's match, and they didn't have

<v Speaker 1>anything like that here For the women. It was about

<v Speaker 1>a championship that doesn't matter. It might look nice, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it cost a fortune to make those belts

<v Speaker 1>with the gems and everything in them, but beyond that,

<v Speaker 1>there was nothing here to really invest in. And it

<v Speaker 1>was two babyfaces. So it's not even like good versus Evil,

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get behind this person because we really don't

<v Speaker 1>want this person to win. You got two baby faces

<v Speaker 1>wrestling for a championship. That doesn't matter. They're on two

<v Speaker 1>separate brands. There's no prior interaction with them. There's no

<v Speaker 1>real story there. So you had the match. The match

<v Speaker 1>was okay, it was fine, and that's it. Nothing memorable

<v Speaker 1>about it. They got short change, though, because they only

<v Speaker 1>gave them about ten minutes. So yeah, while everything I

<v Speaker 1>just said is true, they should have gotten a little

<v Speaker 1>more time. I would have shaved time from the men's match.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's no reason that the women's Crown Jewel

<v Speaker 1>match gets ten minutes and the men's gets thirty. And

<v Speaker 1>I understand the men's has more of a story, but

<v Speaker 1>that's a huge disparity between those two matches. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>saying that they each should have been exactly the same

<v Speaker 1>amount of time, but you could have given the women

<v Speaker 1>a few more minutes here. So Tiffany went unbeaten the

<v Speaker 1>entire year. It was the right outcome here. It was

<v Speaker 1>she's in a better position to take a loss here

<v Speaker 1>than Stephanie. Stephanie just won the women World Championship not

<v Speaker 1>even a month ago. You know, Tiffany has had that

<v Speaker 1>championship the entire year. Basically, when did she win that title?

<v Speaker 1>Did she win the title last year? I don't even

<v Speaker 1>remember when she won that belt because she wrestled Charlotte

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania for it. I don't remember when did she

<v Speaker 1>win she won the title on TV? I remember that, God,

<v Speaker 1>when did she win it? Trying to think I don't

<v Speaker 1>know she cashed in the briefcase whenever it was. She's

<v Speaker 1>had that championship for a long time. So I wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>be beating Stephanie right now given that she just won

<v Speaker 1>the title. But here's the thing about all of this,

<v Speaker 1>I would not have put the championship on Stephanie to

<v Speaker 1>begin with. You know, if Naomi was able to wrestle

<v Speaker 1>her in Paris like she was originally supposed to do,

<v Speaker 1>I don't believe Stephanie was winning that match. I just

<v Speaker 1>I do not believe there was any chance of taking

<v Speaker 1>that championship off of Naomi in her first or second

<v Speaker 1>title defense. That would have been ridiculous. I guess it

<v Speaker 1>would have been her second because she would have had

<v Speaker 1>the match on TV with EO, and as it turned out,

<v Speaker 1>neither match ended up happening, so Stephanie would have lost

<v Speaker 1>and it wouldn't have killed her. And then at that point,

<v Speaker 1>you can take your time building to it because you

<v Speaker 1>know that championship is gonna make its way to this woman.

<v Speaker 1>This woman, she's incredibly good in the ring. She's a

<v Speaker 1>very good pro wrestler. She's very likable, she's very attractive

<v Speaker 1>and very marketable, like checks all the boxes that you

<v Speaker 1>would want to check in a star on your roster.

<v Speaker 1>You take your time, you let her overcome some adversity

<v Speaker 1>of some kind and build to a championship win. That's

<v Speaker 1>how I would have done it, and maybe that's how

<v Speaker 1>wwe would have done it. But plans changed and Naomi

<v Speaker 1>had to vacate the belt and they had to put

<v Speaker 1>the belt on somebody, and it was I mean, realistically,

<v Speaker 1>it was gonna be Riha EO or Stephanie, and I

<v Speaker 1>didn't get the impression they were ready to put that

<v Speaker 1>belt back on Rhea. Ria doesn't need the belt right now,

<v Speaker 1>so it was either EO or Stephanie, and I figured,

<v Speaker 1>you know, you put the belt back on EO, and

<v Speaker 1>then you can have EO drop it to you know whoever,

<v Speaker 1>because EO probably wouldn't have it for very long. But

<v Speaker 1>this is what they opted to do. So I wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>have even had the championship on her in the first place,

<v Speaker 1>but that's the way the things ended up happening. But

<v Speaker 1>here's my fear, and this is the reason why I

<v Speaker 1>don't think I would have done that. My fear is

<v Speaker 1>that she won the world title. She just won the

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel title. Right She's got two titles, she's got

<v Speaker 1>a ring. Is it too much? Too soon? She's very likable,

<v Speaker 1>but now that she's won everything, it is incumbent upon

<v Speaker 1>them to keep things interesting when it comes to whatever

<v Speaker 1>it is that she's doing on television, whatever story you're telling,

<v Speaker 1>whatever opponent you want to put her in the ring with.

<v Speaker 1>They're in a better position at least to put her

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with some interesting people because the raw

<v Speaker 1>women's division is a lot stronger right now than the

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown women's division, and hopefully they'll be a rebalancing soon

<v Speaker 1>and they'll take steps to correct that, especially with some

<v Speaker 1>of these creative changes that we've heard about on the

<v Speaker 1>Friday Show. But I'm more worried about three months from now.

<v Speaker 1>You know, four months from now, as we're heading into

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania season, are we going to be talking about how

<v Speaker 1>bland everything feels with Stephanie. That's my fear, because she's

<v Speaker 1>been given so much so soon that she's done everything

<v Speaker 1>there is to do on her side of the aisle

<v Speaker 1>on that brand. How do you keep things interesting? Now?

<v Speaker 1>Do you reach a point where the fans begin to

<v Speaker 1>resent her or get bored of this? Maybe not. Tiffany

<v Speaker 1>Stratton is still very popular. I look at this run

<v Speaker 1>that Tiffany Stratton has had this year. For the most part,

<v Speaker 1>it's been very uneventful. It's been very dull. She has

<v Speaker 1>not had something to really sink her teeth into in

<v Speaker 1>the way that she has with certain other people that

<v Speaker 1>she's worked with in the past. Right, I mean, look

<v Speaker 1>at what they've They had to go back to Nia Jackson,

<v Speaker 1>Jade Cargill like it hurt that Bianca was not around,

<v Speaker 1>but That's what I mean when I say they need

<v Speaker 1>to really shore up the women's side on that roster.

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, look, Tiffany is still very popular. Maybe Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>will not fall victim to that, but other people have

<v Speaker 1>fallen victim to that in the past. That's the problem

<v Speaker 1>when you just hey, here's everything right, and now it's like,

<v Speaker 1>you got to give them some sort of obstacle at

<v Speaker 1>some point. You got to give them a reason to

<v Speaker 1>chase after that so called brass ring that you know,

<v Speaker 1>used to hear Vince McMahon talking about. But there has

<v Speaker 1>to be something there or the fans are going to

<v Speaker 1>turn on you, and the fans are gonna get bored

<v Speaker 1>and they're gonna be like, all right, well, you know,

<v Speaker 1>we've seen her beat this person in that person and

<v Speaker 1>she has this belt in that belt, and it's like, well,

<v Speaker 1>you know, now what So that's my only concern there.

<v Speaker 1>And I look at the potential you know, challengers for her,

<v Speaker 1>and it's like they're going to come back around to Rhea.

<v Speaker 1>It's just inevitable. The Ria and Osca and Kyrie and

<v Speaker 1>EO stuff is not over yet, certainly not with EO

<v Speaker 1>and Osca. Maybe maybe Rhea moves on to something else now,

<v Speaker 1>but it seems like that's going to continue, probably for

<v Speaker 1>a little while longer. But you got Rhea, of course

<v Speaker 1>you could always fall back on her. You've got EO

<v Speaker 1>eos Off doing her own thing, right, So is Osca

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan is going to come back in a few months.

<v Speaker 1>What's going to happen when Live Morgan comes back. I

<v Speaker 1>think Live Morgan is going to come back and the

<v Speaker 1>fans are gonna probably treat her as a babyface. You

<v Speaker 1>could do something with Live and Roxanne. I guess Live

<v Speaker 1>Morgan may come back and win the Royal Rumbleland Challenge

<v Speaker 1>for the Championship, and I could see the people wanting

<v Speaker 1>her to beat Stephanie if it comes to a Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>Live match at WrestleMania next year. So it's gonna be

<v Speaker 1>very interesting to see how they handle this now in

<v Speaker 1>the months to come, because there's been no struggle. There

<v Speaker 1>is something to be said for having that struggle, and

<v Speaker 1>she hasn't had that now. Backstage, Paul Hayman congratulated Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid on his big win. Reid was sitting there with

<v Speaker 1>an ice pack on his neck after his big Roman

<v Speaker 1>reigns victory, Hayman said the vision of the future now

<v Speaker 1>meant Red and Breaker. Hayman also told them to stay

<v Speaker 1>in the back if seth Rollins called for help tonight

<v Speaker 1>in his match with Cody Rhodes, Hayman said that we

<v Speaker 1>would find out who the better man was and then

<v Speaker 1>he left and bron Breaker did not seem to like this.

<v Speaker 1>He asked Bronson Reid, what's gonna happen if Cody wins

<v Speaker 1>this match? What happens then? And Hayman heard this and

<v Speaker 1>he returned to tell him, I think you both know

<v Speaker 1>the answer to that question. Intrigue. What does that mean? Well,

<v Speaker 1>we'll worry about that some other time, because after this,

<v Speaker 1>it was time for the match that I was most

<v Speaker 1>looking forward to here on this show. Funny enough, the

<v Speaker 1>match with absolutely no story coming into this show is

<v Speaker 1>the match that I was looking forward to the most.

<v Speaker 1>And really, you know, one last time, this was the

<v Speaker 1>end of an era in many ways, because you know,

<v Speaker 1>Johnsen is on his way out the door, and we

<v Speaker 1>know AJ Styles is not too far behind, you know,

<v Speaker 1>and these guys. John Cena debuted on WWE television in

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two. AJ Styles debuted not that long

<v Speaker 1>before him, right, he had a few years on Sena.

<v Speaker 1>He would have ended up in WCW had WCW not

<v Speaker 1>gone under. But their careers in terms of length, their

<v Speaker 1>careers have mirrored each other in many ways, you know. Basically,

<v Speaker 1>you know, twenty five, twenty eight years, whatever it's been,

<v Speaker 1>and now that's coming to an end, and it feels

<v Speaker 1>like man, you know, like and Tana Hashi is retiring,

<v Speaker 1>you know, in January. So it really does feel like

<v Speaker 1>we're in the middle of this sort of changing of

<v Speaker 1>the guard in many ways. But we had John Cena

<v Speaker 1>one on one with AJ Styles. There was no recap

<v Speaker 1>video here like they had for all the other matches

<v Speaker 1>because there was nothing to recap. John Cena was not

<v Speaker 1>around for any television before this match or after this

<v Speaker 1>match was promoted, so they came into this all knotted

<v Speaker 1>up at two wins apiece. This ride here was the

<v Speaker 1>rubber match of their series. Styles entered first, and he

<v Speaker 1>was sporting the same trunks that he wore in the

<v Speaker 1>OG days of TNA, because back then AJ wore trunks.

<v Speaker 1>He didn't wear long tights and that was like the

<v Speaker 1>NWA TNA days. But the blue and white trunks that

<v Speaker 1>he was wearing. I mean, I don't want to say

<v Speaker 1>it was the exact same pair. Maybe he had a

<v Speaker 1>new one made, but those were the trunks that he wore.

<v Speaker 1>On the very first episode of Impact that debuted on

<v Speaker 1>Spike TV in two thousand and five, he had a

<v Speaker 1>match I think opened the show against Frankie Kazarian or

<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry enough Franki Kazari. He wrestled the Rohetorick Strunk,

<v Speaker 1>and he wore that same gear. So that was I mean,

<v Speaker 1>that's I mean, you talk about throwbacks, that's throwing it back.

<v Speaker 1>And it's so weird too, because it's like the Jericho thing.

<v Speaker 1>When Jericho suddenly switched over from tights to trunks. It

<v Speaker 1>was jarring at first. It's like, wait, something's different here

<v Speaker 1>because he had spent his entire career wearing lung tights

<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, like the guy's getting

<v Speaker 1>older and now he's wearing trunks. Usually it's the opposite,

<v Speaker 1>where you get older, you're a little more out of shape.

<v Speaker 1>You don't want to show off your legs anymore, so

<v Speaker 1>you cover them up, right. I mean, that's it's kind

<v Speaker 1>of funny, Like I think of the macho man talking

<v Speaker 1>about him recently, and if you think about you know,

<v Speaker 1>the early part of his career, right, he never wore

<v Speaker 1>a shirt, he didn't have like a top on when

<v Speaker 1>he wrestled, and then all of a sudden, like in

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety ninety one, whatever it was, all of a sudden,

<v Speaker 1>I think it was ninety one. Now he's now his

<v Speaker 1>whole gear change, and it's like, yeah, of course, because

<v Speaker 1>he's not on the same shit that he was on before,

<v Speaker 1>and he's getting older. So anyway, it was a little weird,

<v Speaker 1>but that's how he started his career. Now, John Cena

<v Speaker 1>came out, he got a monster reaction. He told Stu

<v Speaker 1>the cameraman that this was the last international show of

<v Speaker 1>his career. In the ring, Alicia Taylor introduced Sena, but

<v Speaker 1>before she could do the same for AJ, Sina stopped her,

<v Speaker 1>handed her a piece of paper and told her to

<v Speaker 1>go ahead and read what was on that paper. This

<v Speaker 1>is the intro that Sena himself, I assumed Sena himself

<v Speaker 1>wrote for AJ Styles. She called him the definition of

<v Speaker 1>total NonStop action, the ace and undisputed boss of the

<v Speaker 1>Bullet Club. It is our honor as fans and my

<v Speaker 1>honor as an opponent to see if he can beat

<v Speaker 1>up John Cena one final time. He is the face

<v Speaker 1>that runs the place, the phenomenal AJ styles and Style smiled.

<v Speaker 1>He seemed caught off guard by that intro, so that

<v Speaker 1>that was very nice. That was a nice moment there,

<v Speaker 1>Alexander says about Savage. His gear changed because his gear changed, Yes,

<v Speaker 1>yes it did. Yeah, yep. Macho wasn't taking his vitamins anymore.

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what though. He was taking his vitamins

<v Speaker 1>in the late stages there of WCW. He was making

<v Speaker 1>up for lost time, is what he was doing. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure that didn't help his heart. So they rang the

<v Speaker 1>bell and immediately we got a holy shit chant. Then

<v Speaker 1>they got a dueling chance for Sina and AJ, back

<v Speaker 1>and forth. Sena set up for a five knuckle shuffle.

<v Speaker 1>Styles though stop that with a well placed kick. Seen

<v Speaker 1>it came right back with a slam, and he did

<v Speaker 1>do the five knuckle shuffle, and he followed that up

<v Speaker 1>with an attitude adjustment for a near fall. Granted, we

<v Speaker 1>were only five minutes into this match and we already

<v Speaker 1>had an attitude adjustment here. Styles head in Ushi Garochi

<v Speaker 1>right across the knee, but then came up selling his

<v Speaker 1>knee and Michael Cole even called it by that name,

<v Speaker 1>and he credited and I quote my buddy Morrow for

<v Speaker 1>teaching him how to pronounce it. Scena paid homage to

<v Speaker 1>the Miz then with a skull crushing finale for a

<v Speaker 1>near fall, and this was the first of many homages

<v Speaker 1>from both men here in this match. This is what

<v Speaker 1>this match will be most remembered for is all of

<v Speaker 1>the different moves that were stolen. I will say this though,

<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna steal someone else's move, at least make

<v Speaker 1>it look good. And John Cena was making it look good.

<v Speaker 1>He didn't, I mean, he did justice to the moves

<v Speaker 1>at least that he was pulling off. Here, Stiles hit

<v Speaker 1>a torture rag bomb for a near fall of his

<v Speaker 1>own styles, then hit a scorpion death drop for another

<v Speaker 1>near fall. Cole acknowledged that it was an homage to

<v Speaker 1>another one of AJ's great opponents. He said that without

<v Speaker 1>mentioning the name Sting, that's funny. All the people that

<v Speaker 1>Sena was paying homage to, they mentioned their name. All

<v Speaker 1>the people that AJ was paying homage to, I don't

<v Speaker 1>think a single name was mentioned. That's how it goes.

<v Speaker 1>Sena caught Styles in the STFU, which I will say

<v Speaker 1>looked fucking horrendous. I mean this, it looked terrible. Styles

<v Speaker 1>escaped and put Sena in a cross face. Sena got

<v Speaker 1>out of that. He put aj in a camel clutch,

<v Speaker 1>or you might say the accolade former WrestleMania opponents in

<v Speaker 1>Russev that actually got chance of Rusev Day from some

<v Speaker 1>of the fans crowd. Styles escaped and he puts seen

<v Speaker 1>it in what Michael Cole assumed what and this he

<v Speaker 1>called it this what Michael Cole assumed was a co

<v Speaker 1>Qina clutch, and he said this with that ever mentioning

<v Speaker 1>Samoa Joe by name. After that, Styles went for a

<v Speaker 1>calf crusher, but Seena countered into not just the Boston crab.

<v Speaker 1>Cole said, that's the walls of Jericho and the crowd,

<v Speaker 1>you know, broke out and why two Jay chance. So

<v Speaker 1>in case you're wondering, and nobody should have been wondering

<v Speaker 1>this to begin with, because you know, a lot of

<v Speaker 1>people got very sick of seeing Chris Jericho in aw

<v Speaker 1>and you know, just the learning tree and it's just

<v Speaker 1>after a while absence does make the heart grow fonder.

<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's better to go away for self preservation. It's

<v Speaker 1>better to leave and go away sometimes and then come

<v Speaker 1>back than to never leave it all, because how could

<v Speaker 1>they miss you if you don't leave. And I'll bet

<v Speaker 1>you like the minute that Jericho returns WWE, and I

<v Speaker 1>fully believe he is coming back to WWE early next year.

<v Speaker 1>The minute he comes back, he's going to be treated

<v Speaker 1>like a god. That first time back, he's going to

<v Speaker 1>get this monster reaction because it's been years since people

<v Speaker 1>have seen him in WWE. You know, I want to

<v Speaker 1>say it might have been that very first Saudi Arabia

<v Speaker 1>show in the Greatest Royal Rumble. That may have been

<v Speaker 1>the last WWE match that he was in. So that

<v Speaker 1>first time back at least or first couple of times,

<v Speaker 1>of course, he's going to get a great reaction. But

<v Speaker 1>if you were wondering will he or won't he, this

<v Speaker 1>should silence any and all doubt about that. Of course

<v Speaker 1>you will. He'll get a heroes welcome when he comes back.

<v Speaker 1>Styles countered out into a calf crusher. Sena escaped the hold.

<v Speaker 1>He went for the STFU, which he gave up when

<v Speaker 1>Styles got close to the robes, Stiles hit Sena with

<v Speaker 1>the Styles clash for a earfall. Aj went for a

<v Speaker 1>phenomenal forearm, but Sena caught him in position for a

<v Speaker 1>Sister Abigail and that got a rise out of the

<v Speaker 1>crowd big time. And Sena leaned over and he kissed

<v Speaker 1>Aj on the forehead and he dropped him with Sister Abigail.

<v Speaker 1>When I say that he was paying respect to these moves,

<v Speaker 1>he had a pretty fucking good Sister Abigail, some good

<v Speaker 1>velocity there as he took Aj down to the mat.

<v Speaker 1>He got a great near fall out of that one.

<v Speaker 1>The fans went nuts for the Bray Wyatt tribute. They

<v Speaker 1>even pulled out their phones. We got the fireflies in

<v Speaker 1>the crowd and thank you. As a thank you Wyatt,

<v Speaker 1>I think they were chanting, and it looked like Seena,

<v Speaker 1>even in the ring, was kind of taking a moment

<v Speaker 1>to admire it and kind of take it all in.

<v Speaker 1>Styles then hit a Christopher Daniels Angels wings for a

<v Speaker 1>near fall. Seena came back with a pedigree attempt, but

<v Speaker 1>Styles countered that with the fade to black a la

<v Speaker 1>Frankie Kazarian. Although you may know that move these days

<v Speaker 1>as the dead Eye from one Hangman page the aw

<v Speaker 1>World Champion. I didn't hear any cowboy shit chance, though

<v Speaker 1>I did hear holy shit chance after this, but I

<v Speaker 1>did not hear them say cowboy shit. Sena came back

<v Speaker 1>and hit the Randy Orton draping DDT, to which Cole

<v Speaker 1>shouted vintage John Cena, which doesn't really make any sense, Cole,

<v Speaker 1>and then he hit the vipers pose. Styles got up

<v Speaker 1>and Sena dropped him with an RKO, and as soon

<v Speaker 1>as he hit that RKO the place exploded, but he

<v Speaker 1>only got two now. At that point, Sena backed into

<v Speaker 1>the corner he was setting up for the Orton punt kick.

<v Speaker 1>As he came in for the kick, Styles moved out

<v Speaker 1>of the way. He hit Sena with an attitude adjustment

<v Speaker 1>of his own, again only for two and a half.

<v Speaker 1>Styles started to do that you can't see me bit

<v Speaker 1>to Sena, but Sena reached up and he goozled him.

<v Speaker 1>I have him by the throat, Undertaker Style, and then

<v Speaker 1>he lifted aj and slammed him with a choke slam

<v Speaker 1>for a near fall. So a little nod there to

<v Speaker 1>the Boneyard match at WrestleMania between Styles and Undertaker, And

<v Speaker 1>at this point the crowd picked up on. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>how could you not right pick up on what's going

<v Speaker 1>on here with all these moves, So the crowd's like, oh,

<v Speaker 1>this might be the new thing now for however many

<v Speaker 1>mattress Sena has left. Oh, since we're kind of going

<v Speaker 1>back in the greatest hits, we want to see him

<v Speaker 1>do a six y one nine of all the fucking

<v Speaker 1>I mean, they could have the Phoenix splash. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it could have been worse, but they start chanting six

<v Speaker 1>y one nine right, and I'm sure in his head

<v Speaker 1>scene is like, oh, we got improvise here, you know,

<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I gotta see this, Like this will

<v Speaker 1>either be if he actually does this, this will either

<v Speaker 1>be the greatest thing I've ever seen or the worst,

<v Speaker 1>like one or the other. And sure enough, immediately after

<v Speaker 1>the fans begin channing six to one nine and again

<v Speaker 1>just the absurdity of it is just hilarious to me.

<v Speaker 1>But right after that, he drops Styles onto the middle

<v Speaker 1>rope in perfect position for a six one nine, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, son of a bitch, I am seated. I

<v Speaker 1>have to see this. There's no fucking what. You got

<v Speaker 1>two guys in the ring who were in no position

<v Speaker 1>to be doing a six to one nine. Especially Sena.

<v Speaker 1>Styles is more athletically gifted than Sena when it comes

<v Speaker 1>to pulling off some of these moves. Even Aj Styles,

<v Speaker 1>it's a movie he's never done before. He's forty eight

<v Speaker 1>years old. He ain't doing a fucking six to one nine.

<v Speaker 1>And if AJ Styles is not doing a six y

<v Speaker 1>one nine, then John Cena sure as hell ain't doing

<v Speaker 1>a six one nine. But damn it, it looks like

<v Speaker 1>he's gonna try. So he hits the ropes and as

<v Speaker 1>soon as he comes off, aj cuts him off with

<v Speaker 1>a clothesline. And that was the only time in this

<v Speaker 1>entire match that Aj Styles actually got booed by this

<v Speaker 1>crowd because they were deprived of seeing either the greatest

<v Speaker 1>or the worst ever delivered in the history of wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>It could still happen. There's rumors of Sena and Dom.

<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying there could be more chance of sixty

<v Speaker 1>one nine. Sena may end up having his chance at

<v Speaker 1>some point. So Styles followed with a springboard four point fifty,

<v Speaker 1>but there was no pin attempt. He tuned up the

<v Speaker 1>band instead, and he hit a picture perfect Sean Michael's

<v Speaker 1>sweet Chin music and only got a two and a

<v Speaker 1>half count. Styles removed his elbow pad and he hit

<v Speaker 1>the phenomenal forearm, but again only got two. Seena hit

<v Speaker 1>an attitude adjustment out of nowhere for an earfall. Scena

<v Speaker 1>then sat Styles on the top turn buckle and he

<v Speaker 1>went to the middle rope and Sena tried to get

<v Speaker 1>Styles on his shoulders. Styles instead knocked him off the ropes.

<v Speaker 1>Seena's on his feet now and Aj comes diving off

<v Speaker 1>at Sena with a crossbody, and Sena rolls through and

<v Speaker 1>then he hit Styles with a tombstone pile driver and

<v Speaker 1>Sena immediately hoists him back up and he hits one

<v Speaker 1>final AA to put him away and pin Aj Styles.

<v Speaker 1>This is about twenty seven minutes or so into this match.

<v Speaker 1>After the match was over seeing, it helped Aj to

<v Speaker 1>his feet and the two men hugged and they raised

<v Speaker 1>each other's arms before Styles left the ring so that

<v Speaker 1>Scena could celebrate all by himself. Sena left the ring,

<v Speaker 1>he kissed his wife at ringside, and he headed to

<v Speaker 1>the back. This was an excellent match with plenty of

<v Speaker 1>callbacks and tributes to some of their greatest rivals. If

<v Speaker 1>it was anybody else doing this, okay, if it was

<v Speaker 1>any other circumstance, if it was anybody else spamming finishers,

<v Speaker 1>spamming other people, not even their own, just like a

<v Speaker 1>fucking video game. And I think Wade Barrett even made

<v Speaker 1>the car or maybe cold it. But they made the

<v Speaker 1>comment at one point that it's like a video game

<v Speaker 1>where you sort of create your own wrestlerroom program them

<v Speaker 1>to use every fucking finishing move from the existing roster.

<v Speaker 1>That's what this was. This was like the video game

<v Speaker 1>match in some ways of the show. Anybody else does this,

<v Speaker 1>it's probably gonna get raked over the coals, you know,

<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be like, all right, we can we

<v Speaker 1>not do this please. But in this case, this is

<v Speaker 1>a little bit different because it wasn't just that these

<v Speaker 1>two were relying on going out there and just spamming moves,

<v Speaker 1>you know, from other people. Here you have two men

<v Speaker 1>who are in the twilight of their careers. Okay, Sena

<v Speaker 1>is down after this show here, Sena is down to

<v Speaker 1>the final four appearances and even flashed the four like

<v Speaker 1>the horsemen when the match was over. You've got Boston

<v Speaker 1>on November tenth, so we're not seeing him for another month,

<v Speaker 1>by the way, Boston on November tenth, Madison Square Garden

<v Speaker 1>on November seventeenth, Survivor Series on November twenty ninth, Saturday

<v Speaker 1>Night's Main Event on December thirteenth, and that's it. So

<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of guys on that roster that he's

<v Speaker 1>not going to have the chance to work with, like

<v Speaker 1>the Miz, like russev Right, like Edge when he busted

<v Speaker 1>out Edges moves at was it in the Logan Paul match,

<v Speaker 1>might have been Clash in Paris, maybe SummerSlam. So there's

<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys that he's not going to have

<v Speaker 1>the chance to work with. And this is his way

<v Speaker 1>of saying thank you, you know, It's like it's like

<v Speaker 1>a wink and a nod. And you see what Copeland did,

<v Speaker 1>by the way, the aw pay per viewed all out

<v Speaker 1>when he was using John Cena's moves, right, This is

<v Speaker 1>just their way of sort of paying it back and

<v Speaker 1>showing respect to each other. And as far as you

<v Speaker 1>know AJ Styles is concerned, yeah, I would say that

<v Speaker 1>there's zero chance that aj Styles if he's true and

<v Speaker 1>honest about retiring next year, possibly as soon as WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>He's not going to have the chance to work with

<v Speaker 1>Samoa Joe, He's not going to have the chance to

<v Speaker 1>work with a Frankie Kazarian or Christopher Daniels, and he's

<v Speaker 1>certainly not going to be working with Sting. So was

<v Speaker 1>there way to just, you know, again, tip that and

<v Speaker 1>have some fun with it And the fans were having

<v Speaker 1>fun with it, and there's nothing wrong with that, So

<v Speaker 1>it's just added to the match. It added to the

<v Speaker 1>fun of the match. But you consider the names they

<v Speaker 1>paid tribute to tonight, and I was thinking about this also,

<v Speaker 1>like aj right, Sting, Kazarian, Daniels, Right, Daniels goes back

<v Speaker 1>a long way too, to those the turn of the century,

<v Speaker 1>really late nineties, turn of the century, Samoa Joe and

<v Speaker 1>then seen It right Miz and Russev And in the

<v Speaker 1>past he's paid tribute to other wrestlers as well. But

<v Speaker 1>they they kind of run the gamut, you know, over

<v Speaker 1>the last couple of decades, and it just illustrates how

<v Speaker 1>long their careers have stretched. These guys have been around

<v Speaker 1>for a long time and it's a weird thing for

<v Speaker 1>someone like me, because I've been a fan of wrestling

<v Speaker 1>since nineteen eighty seven, okay, and I was very young

<v Speaker 1>at that point, but I would say those were probably

<v Speaker 1>my earliest memories of wrestling from around that time period,

<v Speaker 1>like WrestleMania three right around then. So I grew up

<v Speaker 1>and I was a big fan of the Golden Era

<v Speaker 1>of wrestling right mid to late eighties, early nineties. Then

<v Speaker 1>you got the late nineties and the Monday Night War

<v Speaker 1>and the Attitude era and all that. It's just this

<v Speaker 1>really fun time to be a fan. And then that

<v Speaker 1>bled into the Ruthless Aggression era, and that's really where

<v Speaker 1>while there was a lot of great stuff during that era,

<v Speaker 1>it was really from that point and beyond that, once

<v Speaker 1>we got past the SmackDown six era and all that,

<v Speaker 1>where it's like, all right, you know, this stuff doesn't

<v Speaker 1>really compare to what came before it. But now we're

<v Speaker 1>sitting here and it's over twenty fucking years since the

<v Speaker 1>Ruthless Aggression era, and so guys like John's are now

<v Speaker 1>looked at as the old crusty veterans, you know, And

<v Speaker 1>I'm just sitting here and going, man, I'm still thinking

<v Speaker 1>about you know, fucking Randy Savage and Jake Roberts and

<v Speaker 1>Brett Hart and Legion of Doom and Demolition and all

<v Speaker 1>those guys. And I know I'm not the only one,

<v Speaker 1>but it just shows you, like time passes by quickly,

<v Speaker 1>you know, the errors go by, and you don't really

<v Speaker 1>you don't spend your waking hours of every day thinking

<v Speaker 1>about it, and then one day you just turn around.

<v Speaker 1>It's like, holy shit, I can't believe that you know,

<v Speaker 1>this much time has gone by, But that's who these

<v Speaker 1>guys are now. Now, these guys are the legends. You know.

<v Speaker 1>These guys are, you know, the old guys, and it's

<v Speaker 1>just crazy. It's crazy how the errors come and go,

<v Speaker 1>you know, And when these guys are gone, the people

<v Speaker 1>that you see on TV right now, there will be

<v Speaker 1>plenty of fans who are watching wrestling right now in

<v Speaker 1>ten fifteen years, who we're going to look at Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns the same way, and Drew McIntyre the same way,

<v Speaker 1>and Kevin Owens the same way. One day, Logan Paul,

<v Speaker 1>he'll be looked at that way too. It's pretty incredible.

<v Speaker 1>Sena versus Stone Cold is missed. Well, that's you know,

<v Speaker 1>it's one of those kind of Battle of the Eras

<v Speaker 1>matches that just kind of passed us by. See, I

<v Speaker 1>never thought that would have been a good match to

<v Speaker 1>do anyway, Like of all the old dream matches that

<v Speaker 1>you could have done, were like they kind of just

<v Speaker 1>missed each other. Sena and Stone Cold, that would not

<v Speaker 1>have been very high on my list. I'm sure it

<v Speaker 1>would have been for some people, but eh, I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe it would have been good, but that wouldn't have

<v Speaker 1>been near the top of my list. These two, though, again,

<v Speaker 1>they always had a chemistry in the ring that was great.

<v Speaker 1>I've never seen them had a single bad match in

<v Speaker 1>my entire life. I thought this was a fitting end

<v Speaker 1>to what ended up being a classic rivalry, and I'm

<v Speaker 1>very happy for not only Sena that he had the

<v Speaker 1>chance here at the tail end of this run to

<v Speaker 1>sort of course correct and show people what he can

<v Speaker 1>really do, but Aj styles too, because let's be honest here,

<v Speaker 1>Aj the last several years in WWE has felt wasted,

<v Speaker 1>like they could have been doing a lot more with him,

<v Speaker 1>and now we know that he's hanging it up soon too,

<v Speaker 1>So I'm glad he got to have a match like

<v Speaker 1>this where he can go out there and steal the

<v Speaker 1>show and get the kind of reaction that he got here,

<v Speaker 1>you know, tonight. And I can only hope. I can

<v Speaker 1>only hope that WWE will treat, you know, the end

<v Speaker 1>of AJ's career in the way that they are now

<v Speaker 1>treating this last leg of John Cena's run, and not

<v Speaker 1>the first half of it, because I would not trust

<v Speaker 1>WWE to do an AJ Styles retirement tour next year,

<v Speaker 1>you know, a retirement program heading into WrestleMania. Sure, a

<v Speaker 1>retirement run these people, not a chance that think about

<v Speaker 1>like this was John Cena, like one of the biggest

<v Speaker 1>stars of all time in the history of this company,

<v Speaker 1>and somehow they bungle the good portion of this. What

<v Speaker 1>do you think they would do to a guy who

<v Speaker 1>actually did not make his name in WWA. I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to find out, but for AJ's sake, I hope

<v Speaker 1>they give him a nice sendoff. We had Rhea Ripley,

<v Speaker 1>and we had Eosky against Oscar and Kyrie Sayne. This

<v Speaker 1>was a homecoming for Rhea on what just so happens

<v Speaker 1>to be her twenty ninth birthday. I didn't even realize

<v Speaker 1>that I already figured Ria was gonna win anyway. Then

<v Speaker 1>I realized, oh shit, it's on her birthday. There's no

<v Speaker 1>fucking chance that this woman is losing here. But think

<v Speaker 1>about what she has already accomplished. Think about what she

<v Speaker 1>has accomplished, and think about like how popular she is.

<v Speaker 1>She's not even thirty yet. Wild So Oscar and Kyrie

<v Speaker 1>they attacked the baby faces right at the bell, everybody

<v Speaker 1>got involved. EO, though, was alone with Oscar. When the

<v Speaker 1>dust settled, EO got the better of their exchange. She

<v Speaker 1>hit Oscar with a crazy suicide dive out to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>EO dodged an attack by Kyrie, but that allowed Oscar

<v Speaker 1>to then shove EO into the ring post. And you know,

<v Speaker 1>the way they worked this match was kind of smart

<v Speaker 1>and it makes sense. They kept Rhea out of it

<v Speaker 1>as long as they possibly could not, unlike the way

<v Speaker 1>they booked the tag match at Russell Paloozo. Yet see

<v Speaker 1>I'm punking aj styles against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

<v Speaker 1>How do you do a match like that? You keep

<v Speaker 1>aj aut as long as possible, right, and you just

<v Speaker 1>get people like salivating to see this woman finally tag

<v Speaker 1>into this match, and then when she does right, it

<v Speaker 1>blows the roof off the place. That's kind of how

<v Speaker 1>they work this, right. The Heels got the heat on

<v Speaker 1>EO for a long time. Every time she would try

<v Speaker 1>to go for a tag, they would pull her away,

<v Speaker 1>and Rhea was just on the apron begging for a

<v Speaker 1>tag and waiting for a tag, and the people wanted

<v Speaker 1>her to get the hot tag. So finally she gets

<v Speaker 1>it and the place goes nuts and Kyrie cut her

<v Speaker 1>off actually pretty quick, and the Heels took over until

<v Speaker 1>Ripley nailed Kyrie with a big boot. Rhea gave Kyrie

<v Speaker 1>a razor's edge at one point that just absolutely folded

<v Speaker 1>this poor girl up, I mean like a freaking accordion,

<v Speaker 1>only for EO to follow with a missile drop kick.

<v Speaker 1>As soon as Kyrie kind of stumbled back to her feet,

<v Speaker 1>she got blasted by a missile drop kick off the

<v Speaker 1>top rope. EO went for recover, only got a two count.

<v Speaker 1>So Kyrie gave Leo and Alabama slam much safer than

<v Speaker 1>the one that she gave on Raw on Monday Night

<v Speaker 1>and knocked Rhea Ripley off the apron. Leo brought Kyrie

<v Speaker 1>off the top with an arm drag and went to

<v Speaker 1>the top herself, but Osca distracted her. Kyrie then knocked

<v Speaker 1>down EO and drove Ripley into the steel steps. EO

<v Speaker 1>came back and she wiped out both Kabuki warriors with

<v Speaker 1>an Asai moon salt on the floor. She followed with

<v Speaker 1>a proper moon salt on Kyrie in the ring, but

<v Speaker 1>Oscar broke up the cover. Osca then held Ripley almost

<v Speaker 1>in like a scorpion death drop type position so that

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie can come off the top with an insane elbow. EO,

<v Speaker 1>though was able to break up the cover. Ripley dropped

<v Speaker 1>Osca face first on the top turn buckle and then

<v Speaker 1>pulled Oska up for an avalanche riptide attempt she was

<v Speaker 1>attempting here when Kyrie tagged herself in. Ripley ended up

<v Speaker 1>hitting Kyrie with the riptide instead, and then she tagged

<v Speaker 1>in EO so that she could hit her over the

<v Speaker 1>moon salt. I like that, even though she's in her

<v Speaker 1>home country, in front of her family and friends and

<v Speaker 1>her home people, her countrymen and women, she allowed her

<v Speaker 1>good friend EO to pick up the winning fall here

<v Speaker 1>in this match, and EO hits the moon salt and

<v Speaker 1>she puts it away for the baby Faces, and Michael

<v Speaker 1>Cole said, you know, in reference to this toxic relationship

<v Speaker 1>here with Oscar and Kyrie, you know what they say,

<v Speaker 1>blind faith in your leaders will get you killed. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>yes it will. Look at Michael Cole dropping knowledge here.

<v Speaker 1>So Kyrie took the bullet for Oscar. How is Oscar

<v Speaker 1>going to respond to that? Now? It would be very

<v Speaker 1>easy for them to get their heat back. All you

<v Speaker 1>gotta do on Monday is have OSCA once again go

<v Speaker 1>ahead and missed EO in the face, or at least

<v Speaker 1>try to, because that really is the goal here, right,

<v Speaker 1>The goal is to get us to a match between

<v Speaker 1>EO Sky and OSCA. And you have a show coming

<v Speaker 1>up on November first, Saturday Night's main Event that would

<v Speaker 1>be a good place to do that match. So I

<v Speaker 1>have to assume that we're going to be getting that

<v Speaker 1>match before we get the Survivor Series, and they're not

<v Speaker 1>going to do a match between them at Survivor Series.

<v Speaker 1>Doesn't make sen. I mean, it would make more sense

<v Speaker 1>if they end up in the women's war Games match.

<v Speaker 1>So if we get that match with EO and OSCA,

<v Speaker 1>even Saturday Nights Made Event is still several weeks away,

<v Speaker 1>But to me, that would make sense instead of just

<v Speaker 1>kind of doing it on TV, that they would do

<v Speaker 1>it on a show like that. But they have, you know, again,

<v Speaker 1>more runway here, I think with this feud, so we're

<v Speaker 1>not done yet. Does Rhea move on to something else

<v Speaker 1>and kind of leaves EO to her own with Oscar

<v Speaker 1>and Kyrie? No, I don't think so necessarily because why

<v Speaker 1>would she do that. You know, she wants to back

<v Speaker 1>up her friend. So I think that we'll get more

<v Speaker 1>probably with all four of them. I enjoyed the match.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Rihea got the big reaction for her entrance

<v Speaker 1>and her hot tags and all the big spots that

<v Speaker 1>you would expect. But it's very interesting. I felt like

<v Speaker 1>during the match itself, I felt like it was EO

<v Speaker 1>who was getting more of the chance. Right. The crowd

<v Speaker 1>was every bit as much into Eo Sky because again,

<v Speaker 1>she's super likable. They really, I mean, between EO and Stephanie,

<v Speaker 1>they have two babyfaces on that women's raw roster that

<v Speaker 1>are extremely likable. And with EO, she gets a reaction

<v Speaker 1>with everything she does pretty much every time she's out there,

<v Speaker 1>so I mean they make a great combination. Here is

<v Speaker 1>a big win for the baby Face is a clean

<v Speaker 1>win for the baby Faces. I don't think anybody should

<v Speaker 1>have really expected her to lose in Perth. Why would

<v Speaker 1>that mean is Vince McMahon secretly running the show? Still?

<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Pale, you mean to

<v Speaker 1>tell me not only are we in her home country,

<v Speaker 1>but it's her birthday. We got a beat her, It'll

<v Speaker 1>be great heat. Of course, Ria was winning in Perth.

<v Speaker 1>The only thing that surprised me is that we got

<v Speaker 1>to Perth and Ria wasn't challenging for the championship. That's

<v Speaker 1>the only thing that surprised me, because when they first

<v Speaker 1>announced this, I thought, for sure, if not at Crown Jewel,

<v Speaker 1>then on the Raw after Rio would be getting a

<v Speaker 1>shot of the Women's World Championship. And I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>maybe you know what, I maintain that that is what

<v Speaker 1>we would have gotten had Naomi now gotten pregnant. I

<v Speaker 1>think it would have been maybe not on this show

<v Speaker 1>because it's champion against champion, but I think it would

<v Speaker 1>have been Naomi and Rhea on Raw this Monday, because

<v Speaker 1>how do you not build to that, you know what

<v Speaker 1>I mean? Like, what would Naomi or who would Naomi

<v Speaker 1>be feuding with otherwise, I still believe that would have

<v Speaker 1>been the destination most likely. But Ria in Perth, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>come on, man, I mean you could not have honestly

<v Speaker 1>expected her to lose here. This week's episode is sponsored

<v Speaker 1>In fact, Google recently settled a five billion with a

<v Speaker 1>ExpressVPN reroutes one hundred percent of your traffic through secure,

<v Speaker 1>Championship match between Cody Rhoades and Seth Rollins. Rollins wore

<v Speaker 1>the watch that Cody gifted it. See, his watch was

<v Speaker 1>a lot nicer than mine. Nobody gifted me this watch.

<v Speaker 1>I bought this for myself. But I will tell you

<v Speaker 1>what I don't do. I don't take the watch off

<v Speaker 1>each night when I put it on the charger. I

<v Speaker 1>don't do it as dramatically as Seth Rollins did here

<v Speaker 1>because when he got down to the ring and now

<v Speaker 1>this is the watch, I should point out, this is

<v Speaker 1>the watch that Cody gifted to him in Philadelphia after

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania last year, when Cody finished the story and Rollins

<v Speaker 1>was his shield right and he provided the assist so

<v Speaker 1>that he could win the WWE Championship, But he very

<v Speaker 1>dramatically removed the watch as he disrobed here in the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and he also had some yellow dusty polka dots going

<v Speaker 1>down the length of his tights. Early in the match,

<v Speaker 1>the crowd chanted wanker or wanka at Rollins, which he

<v Speaker 1>was not very happy about. They had called him a

<v Speaker 1>wanker on SmackDown Friday Night as well when Cody was talking.

<v Speaker 1>So leaves the ring. He goes over to the announced

<v Speaker 1>desk and he's putting the blame on them, and specifically

<v Speaker 1>he's putting the blame on Wade Barrett for this for

<v Speaker 1>some reason. And Cole is kind of in between them,

<v Speaker 1>and he gives Michael Cole a shove and Cole's like,

<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? Calm down, you know, and all

<v Speaker 1>this stuff. So now he's assaulting the announcers and Cody

<v Speaker 1>attacks him from behind as Rollins is quarreling here with Cole. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>Cody gets draped over the barricade by Seth. Seth delivers

<v Speaker 1>a double foot stomp to the shoulder. Later on, Rhodes

<v Speaker 1>went for a disaster kick. Rolins, though ran up behind

<v Speaker 1>him and he had a set out power bomb for two.

<v Speaker 1>Rollins targeted the arm in the shoulder and at one

<v Speaker 1>point he did the star dust cartwheel and pose, you know,

<v Speaker 1>a little pose that I can't do it, but you

<v Speaker 1>know the star dust pose mocking him. He's mocking this man.

<v Speaker 1>And then Rollins did some dusty jabs. Cody responded with

<v Speaker 1>jabs of his own. Rollins applied to figure four and

<v Speaker 1>Road struggled for a while before finally getting out of it.

<v Speaker 1>Cody fought back and hit a vertebraker and Cody then

<v Speaker 1>after that landed a disaster kick, a bionic elbow, a

<v Speaker 1>suicide dive, and a Cody cutter, which is quite the

<v Speaker 1>flurry of offense. It still was not enough to hit

<v Speaker 1>a three count, though he got two and a half

<v Speaker 1>out of it, but it still wasn't enough. She's still angry.

<v Speaker 1>She's still angry, isn't she? Jeremy Rose with a fifteen

<v Speaker 1>dollars Kyrie super chat oscar is going to be very angry.

<v Speaker 1>I can only imagine the Kyrie that she's going to

<v Speaker 1>let out on Raw this Monday. Kyrie is the one

<v Speaker 1>who took the losing fall in that Tech team match.

<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine how loud that's going to be? Thank you, Jeremy,

<v Speaker 1>So Rollins he avoided another does aster a kick attempt

<v Speaker 1>quickly followed that up with a pedigree for a two count.

<v Speaker 1>You know, we ought to make a list. This could

<v Speaker 1>be a good exercise here. We ought to make a

<v Speaker 1>list of all of the old finishing moves that used

<v Speaker 1>to mean something in wrestling, and now they mean absolutely

<v Speaker 1>fuck all, because the super kick and the pedigree would

<v Speaker 1>be number one and two. I think at the top

<v Speaker 1>of that list, Like these moves used to be. Like

<v Speaker 1>when these guys would hit these moves, they were done right.

<v Speaker 1>It was rare people would kick out, but it was

<v Speaker 1>rare that people would kick out of it. And now

<v Speaker 1>especially the pedigree, Like, first of all, it doesn't even

<v Speaker 1>look good. It didn't look good honestly for the last

<v Speaker 1>probably fucking ten years that Triple H was actually using

<v Speaker 1>it himself, just kind of lets go when the guy

<v Speaker 1>just falls down. But man, I mean it's it's just

<v Speaker 1>another move. Man. I can't even call it a set

<v Speaker 1>up move. It's just what is it setting up for.

<v Speaker 1>It's not setting up for anything. It's not setting up

<v Speaker 1>for the finishes Canadian Destroyer, thank you, Except Penta does

<v Speaker 1>use it as a finisher in WWE, which I appreciate.

<v Speaker 1>So I try to forget about all the times in

<v Speaker 1>aw where he just used it and it you know,

<v Speaker 1>people just got right back up from it. I'm looking

<v Speaker 1>at you, Orange Cassidy. But seriously, those two moves would

<v Speaker 1>have to be at or near the very top of

<v Speaker 1>the list. So Cody tried to cross roads. Rollins hit

<v Speaker 1>one of his own for two Rhoades, avoided a Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>splash but missed a super Cody Cutter in spectacular fashion.

<v Speaker 1>This was actually hilarious, so Cody he went flying. This

<v Speaker 1>was almost as hilarious as that match with Cody and

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown that time when they each went

<v Speaker 1>for something and they both missed and they just kind

<v Speaker 1>of flew by. They like passed by each other through

<v Speaker 1>mid air like two passing ships in the night, and

<v Speaker 1>just crashed and burned. This wasn't quite as funny as that.

<v Speaker 1>But Cody went up for this super Cody cutter and

<v Speaker 1>nobody was there. Rollins had moved and Cody he got

<v Speaker 1>some height and he just splatted on the mat. Rollins

<v Speaker 1>then immediately hit a curb stump but only got a

<v Speaker 1>near fall. So at that point Rollins went outside over

<v Speaker 1>to the timekeeper's area and he sees the watch. The

<v Speaker 1>watch is sitting right next to the timekeeper Berkeley Berkeley Hoptman,

<v Speaker 1>the son of a tugboat two, sees the watch and

<v Speaker 1>he picks it up and he places the watch around

<v Speaker 1>his fist, right right around his fingers, which I think

<v Speaker 1>is the same thing that John Cena did to Cody

<v Speaker 1>when Sena kicked him in the dick and turned heel

<v Speaker 1>an elimination chamber, right. I remember Michael Cole was like, oh,

<v Speaker 1>he hit him with brass nuts. It's like, it's a

<v Speaker 1>fucking watch, Cole. So he puts the watch around his

<v Speaker 1>fingers and he he goes back to the ring, but

<v Speaker 1>before he gets in the ring, he's having this crisis

<v Speaker 1>of conscience and he's struggling with this and should I

<v Speaker 1>or should not? And he takes the watch off and

<v Speaker 1>he places it on the mat right in the corner

<v Speaker 1>of the ring, so he's not going to use it right.

<v Speaker 1>But he gets back in the ring, and as soon

<v Speaker 1>as he gets back in the ring, Cody is there

<v Speaker 1>waiting for him, and he meets him with a Cody

<v Speaker 1>cutter and a crossroads and he only gets a near fall,

<v Speaker 1>so Cody ended up trapped upside down. After this in

<v Speaker 1>the corner in a tree of woe, Rollins goes to

<v Speaker 1>the ropes in the far corner, same side of the ring,

<v Speaker 1>but in the far corner, and he hit a great

<v Speaker 1>coast to coast diving headbutt that honestly looked like it

<v Speaker 1>took as much out of him as it did out

<v Speaker 1>of Cody. Rollins followed with a Spanish fly off the

<v Speaker 1>top rope, and then he hit a manhandle slam to

<v Speaker 1>Cody for a near fall. Both men found themselves perched

<v Speaker 1>on the top rope yet again, but this time Cody

<v Speaker 1>delivered an avalanche Crossroads. You know what, we got to

<v Speaker 1>add another move to that list, the crossroads. When was

<v Speaker 1>the last time we saw Cody win with one crossroads?

<v Speaker 1>He's the WWE champion. If ever, there was a finish

<v Speaker 1>in this company to protect like they protect the tsunami splash,

<v Speaker 1>they protect the robe kick. Why are you not protecting

<v Speaker 1>the fucking champions finish? Why does it take three fucking

<v Speaker 1>crossroads to win most of his matches? Here and so

<v Speaker 1>here he hits a super crossroads right off the ropes

<v Speaker 1>and he goes for the cover, and of course Seth

<v Speaker 1>kicks out and to me, that was one fall too many. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I will say, CNNAJ, they had a lot of near

<v Speaker 1>falls in that match too, But I like that match

<v Speaker 1>right that. It just it worked there. I can excuse

<v Speaker 1>it in that match, I cannot excuse that here this

<v Speaker 1>was And I feel like we in many of these

<v Speaker 1>big main events where they do go overboard sometimes with

<v Speaker 1>the near falls. We see it in both companies way

<v Speaker 1>too often, but there's always that one moment, that one

<v Speaker 1>move where it's like, eh, I can't tell you why,

<v Speaker 1>but like that right there, that was too much for me.

<v Speaker 1>Like that, That's that was the issue I really started

<v Speaker 1>having with like Adam Cole matches where it's like I've

<v Speaker 1>seen Adam Cole matches with tons of near falls and

<v Speaker 1>it's like this these great epic battles and the crowds

<v Speaker 1>going nuts for it. But then I would see these

<v Speaker 1>matches where it's like, what the fuck are we doing here?

<v Speaker 1>Like I've lost count of how many near falls we've

<v Speaker 1>had here. It's ridiculous and it kind of takes me

<v Speaker 1>out of the match. I thought this was this was

<v Speaker 1>the one right here. I don't know how you guys

<v Speaker 1>felt about that, but for me, an avalanche crossroads. That

<v Speaker 1>needs to be the end of the match, and I

<v Speaker 1>knew that Cody wasn't winning, so it's like, why even

<v Speaker 1>do that. Let him attempt to do it, and then

<v Speaker 1>you know, Seth can kind of work his way out

<v Speaker 1>of it, you know, hit a phoenix splash or something.

<v Speaker 1>So they traded spots until Cody set up for a pedigree.

<v Speaker 1>There it is again, He's gonna go for a pedigree, guys.

<v Speaker 1>Rollins got out of it, though, he crawled to the watch,

<v Speaker 1>which was on the corner. Remember he set the watchdown

<v Speaker 1>on the mat in the corner and Rollins wraps it

<v Speaker 1>around his hand. The referee didn't see this, neither did Cody.

<v Speaker 1>Rollins then accidentally, on purpose, bumps the referee, and as

<v Speaker 1>Cody is setting up for crossroads, Rollins reaches up and

<v Speaker 1>just punches him right in the head with the watch,

<v Speaker 1>and down goes Cody. Rollins followed with a curb stump

<v Speaker 1>and then a second curb stump off the middle rope

<v Speaker 1>to finally exercise the demons and get that elusive win

<v Speaker 1>over Cody Rhodes. He came into this zero for three

<v Speaker 1>no longer, and as he did earlier with Stephanie, Vicaier.

<v Speaker 1>Triple H then gets in the ring. After the match,

<v Speaker 1>he straps the Crown Jewel title around Seth's waist and

<v Speaker 1>presents him with his brand new ring. Kathy Kelly gets

<v Speaker 1>in the ring. She was about to interview Rollins, but

<v Speaker 1>he yanked the mic away from her like she was

<v Speaker 1>Tony Schavanni, and Rollins said that he knew what she

<v Speaker 1>was going to. Ask him how it felt to get

<v Speaker 1>that monkey off his back? He said, it felt better

<v Speaker 1>than anybody could ever imagine. Some of us dream impossible

<v Speaker 1>dreams and have the fortitude to reach those dreams. But

<v Speaker 1>only one man reached higher than the highest. He was

<v Speaker 1>no longer the greatest of his generation. He is now

<v Speaker 1>the greatest of all time. And then they shot off

<v Speaker 1>Pyro for him as Stephanie viquerre joined Rollins in the

<v Speaker 1>ring so that they could both pose with their big

<v Speaker 1>gaudy belts, just like Cody and liv Morgan did last year.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that I thought for sure cm Punk was

<v Speaker 1>about to jump Seth during that speech, like I was

<v Speaker 1>waiting for it. I'm like, all right, now you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have him gloat and cut a speech. It's like, all right,

<v Speaker 1>this is where's punk coming from? Right? And then there

<v Speaker 1>was no cmpunk, but he was there. There's a photo

<v Speaker 1>even floating around that he was like in the crowd,

<v Speaker 1>standing there and he had his hoodie on and everything

<v Speaker 1>all covert. I think he was watching the John Cena

<v Speaker 1>aj Styles match. He had a big smile on his

<v Speaker 1>face because again Raw is in Perth, so he's probably

<v Speaker 1>gonna be on Raw Mon night. He was there, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay, I mean, I guess maybe they'll save

<v Speaker 1>it for Monday, but I don't know why you wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>because we all know they're going to wrestle again, probably

<v Speaker 1>at Saturday nights made event, right, we know we're getting

<v Speaker 1>the match. Like as sick as I am of punking

<v Speaker 1>Rolins at this point has been done to death, we

<v Speaker 1>know it's coming. So I was surprised they didn't have

<v Speaker 1>him jump Seth in that spot right there. But you know,

<v Speaker 1>I guess you could say in kind of a way

<v Speaker 1>that time was not on Cody's side. Just didn't work

<v Speaker 1>out for him tonight, but the watch paid off for

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins. A win is a win. He did not

<v Speaker 1>need bron Breaker's help. He did not need Bronton Reid's help,

<v Speaker 1>but he got the win over Cody Rhodes. This did

<v Speaker 1>not need thirty minutes. This match went thirty minutes, and

<v Speaker 1>I did not enjoy this match as much as I

<v Speaker 1>did seen in styles. I did think it was a

<v Speaker 1>strong match, but it did not need to go thirty minutes.

<v Speaker 1>It was overly long. I thought that they went a

<v Speaker 1>little overboard in a way that just didn't work for

<v Speaker 1>me on some of those near falls. Still a strong match,

<v Speaker 1>it's just not one of my favorites. I do appreciate

<v Speaker 1>that it was one of those rare Vision matches that

<v Speaker 1>didn't have all the interference that we've come to expect

<v Speaker 1>in the Vision matches. I can't call it a clean win.

<v Speaker 1>It wasn't a clean win, but at least we didn't

<v Speaker 1>have people running into the match. But Rollins had to

<v Speaker 1>win this, you know, especially heading into Wargames again, assuming

<v Speaker 1>the Vision is going to be a part of war Games,

<v Speaker 1>because why wouldn't they be. You got to keep the

<v Speaker 1>Vision strong going into that show. They did that with

<v Speaker 1>Bronton Reid right, absolutely the right move, and so Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins had to win. Cody Rhoades stood to gain nothing.

<v Speaker 1>What is Cody gain from beating him a fourth time. Nothing.

<v Speaker 1>The story was Seth he was losing his mind, Cody

<v Speaker 1>had gotten under his skin, Cody had gotten in his

<v Speaker 1>head about you know, needing help or or you know, Hayman,

<v Speaker 1>can he be trusted? You know who's really running the

<v Speaker 1>show here. And that's been the storyline over the last

<v Speaker 1>few weeks. And I'll tell you what, I'm happy they

<v Speaker 1>didn't do. And they even teased it on a guy.

<v Speaker 1>I guess it was yesterday on the kickoff show where

<v Speaker 1>I think Rollins was out there with the vision and

<v Speaker 1>then he kind of just walked off without them, And

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, are we going to get like

<v Speaker 1>a swerve right where they want you to think that?

<v Speaker 1>Seth and Hayman, Oh my god, they're on the outs.

<v Speaker 1>They're actually gonna split these guys up. And then you

<v Speaker 1>know it's like they interfere. Here's Reed or here's Breaker,

<v Speaker 1>and then Seth wins and they're all cackling as the

<v Speaker 1>show goes off the air. I thought there was a

<v Speaker 1>decent chance that we might get that. I'm glad they

<v Speaker 1>didn't do that. Like the whole ruse. Oh he pulled

<v Speaker 1>the wool over your eyes. You actually bought it, hook

<v Speaker 1>line and sinker like, I'm glad they didn't do that

<v Speaker 1>because now the story is still there. There's still potential

<v Speaker 1>drama here to be played out with the ranks of

<v Speaker 1>the Vision. Remember earlier in the show backstage when bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker said to Bronson, read, well what happens if Cody

<v Speaker 1>beats him? And then Hayman came back in and says,

<v Speaker 1>I think you know the answer to that question, right?

<v Speaker 1>What did he mean by that? They should have seth

<v Speaker 1>Rolald that should be the first thing in his opening

<v Speaker 1>promo on Monday Night. That should be absolutely something that

<v Speaker 1>he brings up. He should confront Paul Hayman about that

<v Speaker 1>and build on that. What did you mean by that?

<v Speaker 1>Did you lose faith in me? What about you? Did

<v Speaker 1>you lose faith in me? You didn't think I could

<v Speaker 1>do it? Did you? But what does you mean by that?

<v Speaker 1>So again, that's a story angle that's kind of interesting

<v Speaker 1>that they could pursue on TV this week. I know

<v Speaker 1>why they close with this match. I mean they wanted

<v Speaker 1>to have that parting shot, you know, of the two

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel winners posing together and then shoot off a

<v Speaker 1>bunch of Pyro and all that, So I get that,

<v Speaker 1>and also, look, this had the real course story. Out

<v Speaker 1>of all of the matches on this show coming into this,

<v Speaker 1>this one had a better story than most. Having now

<v Speaker 1>seen the show and the match order and how everything

<v Speaker 1>played out and the quality of the matches and everything,

<v Speaker 1>they should have closed with johnsen and AJ Styles. That's

<v Speaker 1>the match that should have ended the show. It was

<v Speaker 1>John Seenea's last ever international match, last ever match in Australia.

<v Speaker 1>It was a match between two you know, legendary iconic

<v Speaker 1>figures here in the world of wrestling. You knew it

<v Speaker 1>was going to be special, and I do feel that

<v Speaker 1>the crowd, not that they weren't quiet for the rest

<v Speaker 1>of the show, but I do feel like there were

<v Speaker 1>moments maybe during the last two matches where they could

<v Speaker 1>have been a little more animated than they were. Look,

<v Speaker 1>the women went on immediately after that Style's AJ match

<v Speaker 1>or that Style Scena match, not an enviable position to

<v Speaker 1>be in, but smart because Rhea of course, was always

<v Speaker 1>going to get a reaction. I just feel like that

<v Speaker 1>would have been an appropriate way to close the show

<v Speaker 1>and send Sena off, you know, his last match in

<v Speaker 1>the country, and just sort of fade to black. But

<v Speaker 1>I get it. I get why they wanted to go

<v Speaker 1>with this. I thought it was a very good show overall,

<v Speaker 1>much more enjoyable than Wrestle Poll Looser. Zoom says the

<v Speaker 1>match that saved the show. I feel like saved is

<v Speaker 1>too strong of a word that implies that without the match,

<v Speaker 1>the show would have sucked, which is not true for me,

<v Speaker 1>though it was. If you take that match out of

<v Speaker 1>this card, then to me, this card is only marginally

<v Speaker 1>better than Wrestle Poll Loose. It's probab Actually, it's probably

<v Speaker 1>in the same same range, maybe like a B minus

<v Speaker 1>or something like that, because this really, of all the

<v Speaker 1>matches on this card, and there weren't that many of them,

<v Speaker 1>of all the matches on this card, the only one

<v Speaker 1>that will be memorable months from now is this match

<v Speaker 1>John c and n aj Styles. Nobody is going to

<v Speaker 1>be talking about or remembering or thinking about Cody and

<v Speaker 1>Seth for the Crown Jewel title, or Stephanie and Tiffany

<v Speaker 1>for the Crown Jewel title, or a tag match for

<v Speaker 1>Ria and EO. Like, no one's gonna be talking about that.

<v Speaker 1>This is the match that people will look back on

<v Speaker 1>when they go over like some of John cens greatest

<v Speaker 1>matches or aj Styles's greatest matches, or some of the

<v Speaker 1>best matches of twenty twenty five in WWE, And this

<v Speaker 1>is a match that will be on that you know,

<v Speaker 1>on that list for most people, you take that match out. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>it is a much weaker show, but I don't really

<v Speaker 1>know that. Saying it save the show is yes, elevated.

<v Speaker 1>I say that's a better Leopard Toe says elevated. That's

<v Speaker 1>a better word for it. It elevated the show. Let

<v Speaker 1>me take a look at the Oh I did not

<v Speaker 1>get a Twitter poll up, but I forgot about that. See,

<v Speaker 1>I knew I forgot something. Well, I'm gonna guess that

<v Speaker 1>most people probably gave the show a thumbs up. Just

<v Speaker 1>based on the reaction I'm seeing in the chat here,

<v Speaker 1>I think most people are pretty much in agreement with

<v Speaker 1>the sentiment that I expressed here. Now, don't forget Raw

<v Speaker 1>on Monday again, early start eight o'clock in the morning,

<v Speaker 1>Eastern time on Netflix. I'll have to let you know

<v Speaker 1>when I'm gonna go live. I'm not gonna go live

<v Speaker 1>as soon as Raw's over. I'd rather not go live

<v Speaker 1>at eleven o'clock at night if it could be avoided.

<v Speaker 1>But I don't know what's going on yet, so kind

<v Speaker 1>of like today, I'll keep you guys posted on X

<v Speaker 1>most likely or maybe the podcast tomorrow, but I'll let

<v Speaker 1>you guys know what's going on with that. Think a

<v Speaker 1>look at your super chats here and find out what

<v Speaker 1>you guys thought of. Crown Jewel Raw at eight am

<v Speaker 1>is crazy. It's Monday morning. Raw. You could have raw

<v Speaker 1>with your eggs and bacon. You could have a raw

<v Speaker 1>with your coffee in the morning if you drink coffee,

<v Speaker 1>maybe a bagel donut. Joseph Stewart says, rest in peace,

<v Speaker 1>Diane Keaton, Yes, indeed if she passed away today the

<v Speaker 1>age of seventy nine. Joseph wants to know what are

<v Speaker 1>your three favorite scenes in the Dark Night? Oh, my God,

<v Speaker 1>in the Dark Night. My three favorite scenes, well, my

<v Speaker 1>absolute favorite scene, maybe in any movie ever, is the

<v Speaker 1>interrogation scene. Fucking unbelievable. The tension ugh so great and

<v Speaker 1>the spliceing going back and forth between the different locations

<v Speaker 1>as he's interrogating him. So the interrogation scene, I would

<v Speaker 1>say the Joker's pencil trick has to be one, and

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe the opening bank heist. Maybe. I

<v Speaker 1>think the scene on the train, it was a train

<v Speaker 1>right with the boat. I'm sorry not the train with

<v Speaker 1>Zeus would be pretty high up there as well. It's

<v Speaker 1>funny how Zeus Tiny Tiny Lister, the late Tiny Lister,

<v Speaker 1>actually had a pretty pivotal role in that movie. Joseph says,

<v Speaker 1>if he had lived, do you think that Heath Ledger

<v Speaker 1>would have returned as the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises?

<v Speaker 1>I do. I do think he would have. Maybe he

<v Speaker 1>I don't think he would have been necessarily the main

<v Speaker 1>antagonist in the movie. That probably still would have been Bane,

<v Speaker 1>But I do think he would have been in that movie.

<v Speaker 1>Do you know why Jack Nicholson was in the party?

<v Speaker 1>That party picture at the end of The Shining? You know,

<v Speaker 1>I saw The Shining many years ago. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't remember. I don't remember. Joseph says, would you

<v Speaker 1>like to see Christian Bale and Hathaway and Christopher Nolan

<v Speaker 1>return and do another Batman movie like a Dark Knight

<v Speaker 1>Returns movie in the Nolan verse? Now, I I'd rather

<v Speaker 1>he just sort of leave it alone. I think what

<v Speaker 1>he created is sort of a masterpiece all by itself,

<v Speaker 1>and I think that probably best to just leave well

<v Speaker 1>enough alone, Prince Vegeta. I remember when we were all

<v Speaker 1>saying that John Cena was washed up and can't go anymore.

<v Speaker 1>Since SummerSlam, he has proved a lot of us wrong.

<v Speaker 1>I said at the beginning of the review. Man, I said,

<v Speaker 1>the last three of four plees, the John Cena match

<v Speaker 1>has stolen the show SummerSlam Paris and now this show.

<v Speaker 1>The stuff with Brocket Russell Palouza was fucking terrible, so

<v Speaker 1>we don't count that. Joseph Stewart says, how different would

<v Speaker 1>The Dark Knight Rises have been if Leonardo DiCaprio played

<v Speaker 1>the Riddler in the movie in Bain was not the villain.

<v Speaker 1>DiCaprio is the Riddler. It would have been different. Would

<v Speaker 1>it have been better? It's hard to say. Man, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying

<v Speaker 1>to picture Leo as the Riddler. I don't I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if that's the right fit for him. Have you

<v Speaker 1>seen Bram Stroker's Dracula with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder?

<v Speaker 1>That is one I did not see. Also, who do

<v Speaker 1>you think could have played Harley Quinn and Christopher Nolan's

<v Speaker 1>Batman movies. I think Sarah Michelle Geller would have been

<v Speaker 1>perfect in the role or Julius Stiles. You know, Sarah

<v Speaker 1>Michelle Geller is an interesting one. I think her over

<v Speaker 1>Julius Styles. I think that could have worked. What character

<v Speaker 1>did she play in that Scooby Doo movie? Tommy Kalela

<v Speaker 1>with a twenty dollars super chat says that scene of

<v Speaker 1>versus aj match was such a beautiful love story wrestling wise,

<v Speaker 1>honestly would say that might be the match of the year.

<v Speaker 1>I just loved aj styles face when Alicia announced him

<v Speaker 1>like he was genuinely shocked and laughed. Buy or sell

<v Speaker 1>Joker and Harley Quinn or Mickey and Mallory Knox from

<v Speaker 1>Natural Born Killers. I'm gonna buy on Joker and Harley Quinn.

<v Speaker 1>I was very young when I saw that Natural Born

<v Speaker 1>Killers movie in the theater when it came out, and

<v Speaker 1>I was definitely too young to be seeing it. It

<v Speaker 1>was yeah, and that was not my father's brightest move.

<v Speaker 1>Joseph Stewart says, does Bo Dallas' uncle Howdy reminds you

<v Speaker 1>of Heath Ledger's Joker and was Heath Ledger's Joker and

<v Speaker 1>inspiration of the Uncle Howdy character. I see a little

<v Speaker 1>bit of it in there. Maybe I don't want to

<v Speaker 1>say that it was the inspiration for it because I

<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's true, and there's not enough about

<v Speaker 1>the character that like it screams like a blatant, you know,

<v Speaker 1>copy of the Joker. It's possible that he borrowed elements

<v Speaker 1>for it, but I'm gonna say no. Dry Chickens says

<v Speaker 1>the talent did good on the Crown Jewel Show. I'm

<v Speaker 1>still not watching Raw and SmackDown. They need to shake

<v Speaker 1>up the roster, the creative team and stories. Thank you,

<v Speaker 1>brother Joseph Stewart. Did you know that Batman comic Nightfall

<v Speaker 1>was the inspiration of the dark Knight Rises with Bain

<v Speaker 1>breaking Batman's back? I didn't know that. Actually I knew

<v Speaker 1>about Nightfall's reload this year. Get all the latest ones

<v Speaker 1>here on the list that you guys can see him

<v Speaker 1>loving this new format. By the way, I found a

<v Speaker 1>way to avoid that other new format that I fucking hated.

<v Speaker 1>This is so much better. We have horrifying dried chicken

<v Speaker 1>with a five dollars super Chat, Triple H got to

<v Speaker 1>call up Obafemi, Trick Williams, Kalanie, Jordan, Lash Legends, and

<v Speaker 1>Jada park We need some more black wrestlers on the

<v Speaker 1>main roster. I think you just named all of them

<v Speaker 1>like gotta save something for NXT. Brother. You can't be

<v Speaker 1>calling them all up at once. I think all of

<v Speaker 1>them will eventually make their way to the main roster,

<v Speaker 1>but you can't. I mean you're gonna put them all

<v Speaker 1>together in a faction because that would be even worse.

<v Speaker 1>Oba Femi, get Oba Femi up first. I think lash

<v Speaker 1>Legend will actually do well on the main roster. I

<v Speaker 1>would not have said that a year ago, year and

<v Speaker 1>a half ago, but I do think that she'll get

<v Speaker 1>the call sooner than later. I think there's no reason

<v Speaker 1>to rush Kalani, not with what she's doing right now

<v Speaker 1>with the TNA stuff. Jada Parker Jada Parker probably, but

<v Speaker 1>you gotta figure. You got to prioritize who because you

<v Speaker 1>don't want to call them all up at once. Joseph says.

<v Speaker 1>It was announced at New York Comic Con that they

<v Speaker 1>are making an animated adaptation the Batman comic Nightfall. I

<v Speaker 1>did not hear that I had a couple of friends

<v Speaker 1>who are actually at Comic Con today. I think right

<v Speaker 1>still going on MGM balling with the nine nine nine.

<v Speaker 1>He says, h O G was a banger last night solo.

<v Speaker 1>I was the guy who stops you for a high

<v Speaker 1>five and called you Mark Henry with the sharp salmon suit.

<v Speaker 1>It was cool to meet you, and I appreciated a

<v Speaker 1>minute of your time. Hey, I appreciate you coming to

<v Speaker 1>the show and saying hello. Man, I don't get to

<v Speaker 1>see everybody all the time. Actually, last night you were

<v Speaker 1>there and you saw how packed it was. I've never

<v Speaker 1>seen it that packed before. I couldn't even see the floor,

<v Speaker 1>there were so many people. So I'm glad we we

<v Speaker 1>at least had that moment at least, but my god,

<v Speaker 1>I mean the uh we had a very unplanned uh

<v Speaker 1>sort of how shall I how shall I say it?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, recreation, A very surprising recreation of the

<v Speaker 1>infamous chair throwing incident in ECW during our main event

<v Speaker 1>last night. It was one of those moments where I'm

<v Speaker 1>very happy that we no longer have the commentary desk

<v Speaker 1>at ringside. That was scary and crazy and cool. I

<v Speaker 1>guess all the same time, it was a wild night

<v Speaker 1>to say the least. Holiday one ninety seven says Hey Solo.

<v Speaker 1>If Chris Jericho returns to WWE early next year, I

<v Speaker 1>would like to see Jericho and AJ Styles have a

<v Speaker 1>match together before AJ retires, maybe at WrestleMania. If Gunther

<v Speaker 1>doesn't face AJ, it could be a good match. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, if that's AJ's last match against Jericho, like,

<v Speaker 1>I think we could do better than that. If you

<v Speaker 1>want to do it, do it. I'm not sold on

<v Speaker 1>it as a WrestleMania match, though, I'm not saying I

<v Speaker 1>can't be convinced. You know, it's all about story at

<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. But yeah, some Bliss fans

<v Speaker 1>says it would be ten years since there WrestleMania thirty

<v Speaker 1>two match. You know, next year is ten years of

<v Speaker 1>AJ Styles in WWE. It's I mean, he may not

<v Speaker 1>be there the entire year, but I think it would

<v Speaker 1>be kind of nuts if they don't promote around that,

<v Speaker 1>like ten years of Styles in WWE. Holiday one ninety

<v Speaker 1>seven says thoughts On reports that Sina may challenge Dominic

<v Speaker 1>for the IC title at Survivor Series if it's true.

<v Speaker 1>We know seen it as walking into his match as

<v Speaker 1>a Grand Slam champion. I hope not. I'll talk more

<v Speaker 1>about that on the show tomorrow. I saw the same reports.

<v Speaker 1>I think it's unnecessary. Honestly, I don't mind the match itself,

<v Speaker 1>but you know, the whole thing about the IC title

<v Speaker 1>and everything, I just I don't think it's needed. Prince

<v Speaker 1>Vegeta ninety five, I'm patiently waiting for this mega push

<v Speaker 1>of Seth rollins to and he is insufferable, great wrestler,

<v Speaker 1>but his character sucks. Yeah. I've never been a fan

<v Speaker 1>of this whole character with him with the wild, wacky

<v Speaker 1>outfits and laughing for no reason like a hyena. And

<v Speaker 1>it doesn't do anything for me either. Holliday says, it

<v Speaker 1>appears they are exploring putting the SmackDown Tag team titles

<v Speaker 1>and US title belts back on the MFTs. If it happens,

<v Speaker 1>I still won't take the MFTs seriously. Yeah, I mean

<v Speaker 1>nobody will until they actually take the time to really

<v Speaker 1>flesh out their characters more. You could put paint on

<v Speaker 1>their faces, but it doesn't it doesn't change anything We've got.

<v Speaker 1>Naima Khan, I always listen to your podcast and fall asleep,

<v Speaker 1>So thank you. Okay, all right, then there you go.

<v Speaker 1>I guess whatever works, I hope. I hope you're not

<v Speaker 1>in play lying that the podcast puts you to sleep.

<v Speaker 1>I've had people tell me that the sound of my voice,

<v Speaker 1>though I don't know, I guess it could be calming

<v Speaker 1>sometimes and it helps them sleep at night, and I mean, hey,

<v Speaker 1>if it does, I'm happy to hear it. Mark Martineza,

<v Speaker 1>my Sena opponent predictions from a month ago have been

<v Speaker 1>correct so far. So next is Domit Survivor Series, and

<v Speaker 1>then gun through at Saturday Night's Made Event, and if

<v Speaker 1>a raw match happens, I predict Seamus. I would love

<v Speaker 1>to see Sena and Shamus not not in his final match,

<v Speaker 1>but I would love to see it, and there's only

<v Speaker 1>two more chances to do it. You got Ron Boston,

<v Speaker 1>you got raw MSG if we assume he's wrestling Domit

<v Speaker 1>Survivor Series, which, by the way, I guess that gives

<v Speaker 1>away the outcome of the match on Monday, doesn't it.

<v Speaker 1>I think the outcome of the match on Monday was

<v Speaker 1>given away the minute that Penta accidentally kicked Russev last Monday,

<v Speaker 1>So I think we can pretty much figure we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>see Russev get involved there. But thank you Mark, Ricky Cornflakes,

<v Speaker 1>you look like Mark Henry when the Shield beat him up.

<v Speaker 1>It's gotta love the solomonst I've gotten a lot of

<v Speaker 1>Mark Henry comparisons over the last twenty four hours. I

<v Speaker 1>will say, don't worry, I got a lot left in

<v Speaker 1>the tank. H we got here, we got here? Is

<v Speaker 1>it Mark? It is Mark? Mark Martinez. What do you

<v Speaker 1>think the idea of Sena tapping to Gunther in his

<v Speaker 1>last match, since it's never give up for Sena all

<v Speaker 1>of his career and that being his last match. The

<v Speaker 1>thing with Sina though, I hm, I don't see him.

<v Speaker 1>It's hard for me to imagine him tapping out. I

<v Speaker 1>could see him passing out, but I don't know about

<v Speaker 1>tapping out. We have not seen John Cena tap out

<v Speaker 1>in the match since two thousand and three, It's been

<v Speaker 1>over twenty years. That would be a huge thing if

<v Speaker 1>he did, but it would it would go against everything

<v Speaker 1>that character is about. I mean, he's never give up,

<v Speaker 1>so you know he refuses to give up. He goes out,

<v Speaker 1>referee raises the arm, it drops, and that I could

<v Speaker 1>see I don't know if you know it's hard though,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you beat him? Do you have somebody

<v Speaker 1>else beat him and get the rub? Not that Gunther

<v Speaker 1>needs the rub, but then that could kind of become

<v Speaker 1>his gimmick where he's the guy that goes in there

<v Speaker 1>and ends these legends once and for all. He did

<v Speaker 1>it with Goldberg, he does it with Sena. Maybe he

<v Speaker 1>does it with aj at WrestleMania next year. He canna

<v Speaker 1>have a lot of very upset people if Seena goes

<v Speaker 1>in there in DC and lo Jeremy Rose. So guessing

<v Speaker 1>Survivor series post show will be crowdless. Oh after what

<v Speaker 1>happened today, Now they'll just chalk it up to those

<v Speaker 1>crazy international fans. I think if it keeps happening where

<v Speaker 1>they're kind of like bullying poor Triple H, then yeah,

<v Speaker 1>we may end up with they may have like AI

<v Speaker 1>fans behind Triple H. The way things are going with

<v Speaker 1>AI today, would we even know the difference? It says

<v Speaker 1>Becky gonna go after Stephanie for flirting with Seth at

<v Speaker 1>the at the end of the show. Why didn't see

<v Speaker 1>him punk ruin Seth's celebration? Come on, let's make it

<v Speaker 1>believable because they had to get the money shot at

<v Speaker 1>the end with the two Crown Jewel champions posing with

<v Speaker 1>their big belts. Yeah, that was say this. If the

<v Speaker 1>idea is to go to Seth and Punk next, then

<v Speaker 1>it was very stupid not to have him attack him

<v Speaker 1>there at the end. The real CSAs would you move

<v Speaker 1>Ria to SmackDown? I think she's needed there more than

<v Speaker 1>on Raw. Yeah, I mean they could definitely use her.

<v Speaker 1>You're not wrong about that. Would I do it? I

<v Speaker 1>kind of want to see Rha and Stephanie. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if I would I would move Rhea. I might

<v Speaker 1>maybe I find somebody else, But I mean, you're not wrong.

<v Speaker 1>They could definitely use her on that show. SMG Kobe,

<v Speaker 1>what are your current and all time favorite finishers? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>in no particular order. The sharpshooter, the razor's edge was

<v Speaker 1>always a favorite of mine. The crossfaced chicken wing submission

<v Speaker 1>was the favorite of mine. Stone called stunner. I think

<v Speaker 1>that maybe the most beautiful finishing move to watch is

<v Speaker 1>Hacks black Arrow, or when he was Neville, the red Arrow,

<v Speaker 1>the red arrow of the black Arrow. Call it whatever

<v Speaker 1>you want, that's just a beautiful move. I mean, those

<v Speaker 1>are the ones I'll name off the top of my head.

<v Speaker 1>Current finishers. Though, if you say current ones, do I

<v Speaker 1>have a favorite current finish? It's a good question. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think I do. In WWA, in ae W, do

<v Speaker 1>I have a favorite? No, I don't think I do.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think I have that one move that's like, oh,

<v Speaker 1>that's my favorite. Not really, not really. Most finishers aren't

<v Speaker 1>even really finishers anymore, you know. Maybe that's why A

<v Speaker 1>d sas solo thoughts on Roman beating Seth at WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>and in the future drops the belt to Bron who

<v Speaker 1>turns face after the match, becoming officially the guy Roman

<v Speaker 1>beating Seth and then in the future drops the belt.

<v Speaker 1>I'll see you want to put the World Heavyweight Championship

<v Speaker 1>on Roman? Yeah, I mean it would be a big

<v Speaker 1>deal though for Breaker if that played out that way,

<v Speaker 1>I could get behind that because it will mean more

<v Speaker 1>for Bron Breaker, then I could get behind that. Holiday

<v Speaker 1>one ninety sevent do you think we could see a

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight Championship match between Rollins and punk on raw

<v Speaker 1>giving punk Is in Australia. SmackDown had some attraction matches

<v Speaker 1>last night. No, I don't see them. I mean, unless

<v Speaker 1>they announce it in advance, I don't. I don't think so.

<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna probably want to save it for

<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night's made event. That would be my guess, horrifying.

<v Speaker 1>Dried Chicken says, let me tell you how Kyrie saying

<v Speaker 1>can calm Oscar's nerves. Brother Kyrie gives Osca brownies with

<v Speaker 1>nice edibles and takes her out to shipping down edibles

<v Speaker 1>for Oscar. That might actually calm her down. Actually Osca

<v Speaker 1>on edibles, we'd be kind of entertaining to see how

<v Speaker 1>that plays out on TV. Toma Tonga super fan is

<v Speaker 1>with us. I'll bet he's excited. Guess who came back

<v Speaker 1>on Friday Night? The man, the myth and legend, Toma

<v Speaker 1>Tonga is back in WWE, just in time to be

<v Speaker 1>seen as last opponent. Good misdirect by WWE to let

<v Speaker 1>people think it's gunther Is that what it is? See

<v Speaker 1>it's a misdirect everybody, you know. I'll bet that Sina

<v Speaker 1>writing in the Bullet Club in AJ's intro on the

<v Speaker 1>show tonight is like a little Easter egg because tom

<v Speaker 1>A Tonga was a member of Bullet Club see Triple

<v Speaker 1>Ah is playing chess. Everybody else is playing checkers. I

<v Speaker 1>think you may be onto something or you just may

<v Speaker 1>be on something, but either way, thank you brother. We

<v Speaker 1>got Bobby's world and look at what Bobby's World dropped

<v Speaker 1>on us. Bobby's World dropped a gunhar bomb, Holy shitty

<v Speaker 1>dollar gunhar bomb. Hey, Solo, thank you for my early

<v Speaker 1>birthday wish on your birthday. Since I typically donate to

<v Speaker 1>you on your birthday and mine, I think a birthday

<v Speaker 1>wish eight months early is nice. Hey, it's the least

<v Speaker 1>I could do. And I'll say it again here. Happy

<v Speaker 1>birthday Bobby's World, whenever it may be. I hope it's

<v Speaker 1>a very happy day. Thank you for the support. Tomatonga

<v Speaker 1>super fan again ten dollars, super chat. Tomatonga and Tangala

<v Speaker 1>being back in WWE together has made smack Down the

<v Speaker 1>a show again. That's going to make your Friday nights

<v Speaker 1>end with a smile on your face. Yes, it might,

<v Speaker 1>Actually it might. Like Jack Nicholson in The Shining when

<v Speaker 1>he had the smile on his face. Bogus Fan says,

<v Speaker 1>keep killing it, Solo. Thank you, Bogus Fan. It's another

<v Speaker 1>show I used to watch. Another cart I used to

<v Speaker 1>watch years ago, Mister Bogus. Remember mister Bogus, and then

<v Speaker 1>they made a live action movie with Gerard de Perdue

<v Speaker 1>playing mister Bogus. Jeremy Rose, remember when Triple Ah first

<v Speaker 1>took over and everyone was glazing how good the product was,

<v Speaker 1>And now things are so much different. Yes, the bloom,

<v Speaker 1>as they say, is off the Rose Diego Vasquez. That

<v Speaker 1>bray Wyatt tribute almost made me cry. It was a

<v Speaker 1>very nice gesture and it was a very nice response

<v Speaker 1>that it got from the crowd. I'm sure it meant

<v Speaker 1>a lot to Bow as well. Rojoe Beart twenty four.

<v Speaker 1>Every time I see Seth in the main event, I

<v Speaker 1>just think to myself, Man, I miss Gunther. Well, the

<v Speaker 1>good news is he should be back very soon. Jeremy says,

<v Speaker 1>do you think Jay versus Roman is happening soon? If so,

<v Speaker 1>do you think, well, no, Roman doesn't want to see

<v Speaker 1>them until Christmas? Says, if so, do you think Roman

<v Speaker 1>wants to put him over so that he can take

<v Speaker 1>over the tribal chief character? Because Roman has one foot

<v Speaker 1>out the door, he does kind of feel like he

<v Speaker 1>has one foot out the door, but he's not going

<v Speaker 1>anywhere yet. So no, I don't think they're building to

<v Speaker 1>that just yet. If they're building to it at all,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's happening anytime soon. And if they do,

<v Speaker 1>then I hope it's a hell of a lot better

<v Speaker 1>than that tribal combat garbage we got at SummerSlam two

<v Speaker 1>years ago. We got Prince Vegeta, who says, if you

<v Speaker 1>had the pen, who would you have picked as the

<v Speaker 1>first British WWE World Champion, Davey boy Smith, William Regal

<v Speaker 1>or Wade Barrett would have been Wade Back, not Wade

<v Speaker 1>Barret would have been William Regal during that period where

<v Speaker 1>he was I think he was the general Was he

<v Speaker 1>the general manager? Yeah? I think he was the GM

<v Speaker 1>during that period. It was the period where he was

<v Speaker 1>likely going to end up with the World heavyweight title.

<v Speaker 1>And he flunked a task and then that was it,

<v Speaker 1>Like that was one in fraction too many and he

<v Speaker 1>fucked himself over. Was his own fault, but him even

<v Speaker 1>hiss WWE Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, whatever, I would say,

<v Speaker 1>Regal during that period could have had at least a

<v Speaker 1>short run with it. The Juliette says, rest in peace,

<v Speaker 1>and Diane Keaton. Jeremy says, solo, you can change one

<v Speaker 1>thing in current day wrestling. What do you change? Get

<v Speaker 1>rid of the what chant? Get rid of the what chance?

<v Speaker 1>And if you do chant what during one of these shows,

<v Speaker 1>you get an electric shock to your nipples. That'll shut

<v Speaker 1>him down real quick. Rohobert, that might not be illegal, though,

<v Speaker 1>Rohobert twenty four. I haven't watched Raw ever. You could

<v Speaker 1>just end a sentence there. I've never seen a single

<v Speaker 1>episode of Monday Night Raw, he said. I haven't watched

<v Speaker 1>Raw ever since Seth Rollins won the World Heavyweight Championship.

<v Speaker 1>Thank God for Monday Night Football. Well, that's why you

<v Speaker 1>have me, so I can keep you up to date

<v Speaker 1>on what you're missing. Ad says the story will be

<v Speaker 1>Roman doesn't care about the world title but takes away

<v Speaker 1>what Seth took from him. Is a karma story. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean I could see that basically being the story

<v Speaker 1>around a WrestleMania match between those two. It's not about

<v Speaker 1>what I need, it's you know what the company needs,

<v Speaker 1>or it's well, actually, you know what for this Roman character,

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't give a shit about the company. He would

<v Speaker 1>be more self fish about it. It's like I haven't

<v Speaker 1>forgotten what you did to me in Philadelphia two years ago. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I could see that, and Tomatonga super fan. We are

<v Speaker 1>now on the path for Tomatonga and Tongaloa to win

<v Speaker 1>the tag team belt at WrestleMania forty two and then

<v Speaker 1>set up a year old build. I think you mean

<v Speaker 1>a year long build, set up a year old build

<v Speaker 1>to a singles match at WrestleMania forty three in the

<v Speaker 1>main event. You know Saudi Arabia is a top three

<v Speaker 1>fan base for the tongas well. I'll tell you what,

<v Speaker 1>if his excellency over there wanted Tomatonga against Tongaloa, triple

<v Speaker 1>H would kiss the ring and give him the match

<v Speaker 1>that he wants. So if he if he's as big

<v Speaker 1>of a Tongans fan as you say he is, I

<v Speaker 1>put nothing past these people and Diego VASc what Sena

<v Speaker 1>dream Match has delivered or just with aj you mean

<v Speaker 1>you talked about this year. I mean the scene of

<v Speaker 1>punk match was pretty good. Yeah, the Sena Orton match

<v Speaker 1>was much better than I expected it to be. It's

<v Speaker 1>not like my favorite match of the year or anything.

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if you're just referring to match

<v Speaker 1>it because that's a short list. You know, you're just

<v Speaker 1>talking about matches this year. M yeah, I mean AJ

<v Speaker 1>would be like of the quote unquote dream matches, AJ

<v Speaker 1>would be number one. Good shit, thank you Diego. And

<v Speaker 1>I actually see just now. I don't know why I

<v Speaker 1>just noticed, but we had a bonus goal going in

<v Speaker 1>the chat and we have hit that goal. And the

<v Speaker 1>main goal where at four hundred and sixty three likes,

<v Speaker 1>can we get that to five hundred before we get

<v Speaker 1>out of here live. That's gonna be up to you

<v Speaker 1>guys while you work on that. Let's be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>And doctor Scorpio is with us. Doctor Scorpio is with us,

<v Speaker 1>he says. For a second, I thought you were reading

<v Speaker 1>random comments. Well technically you are, but didn't see the

<v Speaker 1>super chat Lol. Thanks for watching, so I don't have to, brother,

<v Speaker 1>it's literally on the screen. It's the whole list of them.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, doctor Scorpio. Oh, it's always good when we

<v Speaker 1>get a double B the booker, isn't it. It's always

<v Speaker 1>good when we get to see those old tag team

<v Speaker 1>belts too. And there you see the Steiner brothers, Rick

<v Speaker 1>and Scott. Isn't that the senator from the state of Florida.

<v Speaker 1>Isn't that Rick Scott's kind of took the two names

<v Speaker 1>and put them together. Can't trust somebody with two first names.

<v Speaker 1>The Steiner brothers are going to be taking on the

<v Speaker 1>two dudes with attitude. This is when they had all

<v Speaker 1>the goal. You talk about bell collectors, these are the

<v Speaker 1>original belt collectors right here, Shawn Michaels and Diesel. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think Scott Steiner is gonna or Rick Steiner for

<v Speaker 1>that matter, is going to be taking Shawn Michael's shit

<v Speaker 1>from nineteen ninety five. Shawn Michaels better be on his

<v Speaker 1>best behavior. That would be a hell of a match, though,

<v Speaker 1>Diesel and Michaels against the Steiner brothers, it's a great

<v Speaker 1>pick right there. All right, our women's match is going

<v Speaker 1>to have the Love Maurice Ah Maurice Maurice against Dana Brook. Well. Look,

<v Speaker 1>we wish all the best of Dana Brook. She had

<v Speaker 1>to abruptly vacate her impact or well in TNA now

<v Speaker 1>TNA Knockouts Championship for reasons that were not disclosed. Hopefully

<v Speaker 1>the situation is not serious. Be that as it may.

<v Speaker 1>This is not a match that uh, this is not

<v Speaker 1>a match I would book on my card. I'm sorry,

<v Speaker 1>Sol Goes, I gotta be honest to Robb says, I

<v Speaker 1>don't trust Neil Patrick Harris. Three first names. That's even worse.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, three first names. We have Yoko Zuna

<v Speaker 1>as one half of our main event, former two time

<v Speaker 1>WWF champion Yoko Zuna against the Undertaker. See but this

<v Speaker 1>is Ministry Undertaker. We never got to see Yoko Zuna

<v Speaker 1>against Ministry Undertaker. But there was just something about those

<v Speaker 1>Undertaker Yoko Zuna matches that I have a soft spot for.

<v Speaker 1>I actually enjoyed watching them have those matches and wrestle together.

<v Speaker 1>That's right, Grant says, BSk lives. That's right, BSk lives.

<v Speaker 1>They got they got the tats Man. It's a brotherhood,

<v Speaker 1>all right. You unlocked round number two. This should be interesting.

<v Speaker 1>We go from the Bone Street Crew and the Undertaker

<v Speaker 1>to Buried Alive, staying with the Undertaker motif here buried

<v Speaker 1>a live match. We're gonna have ourselves a tag team

<v Speaker 1>buried a live match. That's what we're gonna do. And

<v Speaker 1>there has in fact been a tag team buried a

<v Speaker 1>live match on SmackDown many years ago, and I actually

<v Speaker 1>remember enjoying that match greatly. So we have Hulk Hogan

<v Speaker 1>and Dennis Rodman Hulk Hogan in a buried alive match.

<v Speaker 1>Who's getting buried? And I do mean buried. Let's find

<v Speaker 1>out who are the poor schmucks who are getting buried

<v Speaker 1>by the Hulkster here in this match? Oho, this is

<v Speaker 1>going to be the mother of all burier is what

<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be. Hulk Hogan's gonna take one look

<v Speaker 1>at Fandango and say that don't work for me, brother,

<v Speaker 1>which is too bad, because I'm a Tyler Breeze mark

<v Speaker 1>man I have. But when he came back to NXT recently,

<v Speaker 1>he looked like he had stepped out of twenty fourteen.

<v Speaker 1>That's the Tyler Breeze man that I was a big

<v Speaker 1>fan of. But Hogan's gonna take one look at these

<v Speaker 1>two guys and he may not even show up that night.

<v Speaker 1>He made no show the event. Rodman is definitely not

<v Speaker 1>showing up for that. Fandango has no chance. Actually, Fandango

<v Speaker 1>shouldn't show up right Our next stipulation, Oh for Fuck's sake.

<v Speaker 1>We just picked this the other night. What is with

<v Speaker 1>the Punjabi prison stipulation? My god, you know I ended

<v Speaker 1>up in one of these one What was it? Me

<v Speaker 1>against Goldberg or something? In a Punjabi prison match? Be

<v Speaker 1>the booker was it? Definitely had had it out for

<v Speaker 1>me that night. Do we put the poor ladies in

<v Speaker 1>the Punjabi prison or should we do the men's match

<v Speaker 1>and make that Punjabi prison? All right, we'll do with them.

<v Speaker 1>We'll spare the ladies the indignity of being a part

<v Speaker 1>of this. Just absolute monstrosity. Oh no, that's right, Oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, How could I forgot? It was me against Khali?

<v Speaker 1>That's right. We landed on Punjabi prison for a fucking

<v Speaker 1>coli match and I was his opponent that night. Just

<v Speaker 1>buzz the match. No, I want to see. I want

<v Speaker 1>to see. Well, who's going to be in this match?

<v Speaker 1>Ravishing Rick Rude is going to be in a Punjabi

<v Speaker 1>prison match? See I You know, I feel like he

<v Speaker 1>can make this work. It really all depends on who

<v Speaker 1>he's in the ring with. Ravishing Rick Rude can make

<v Speaker 1>almost anything work. Ravishing Rick Rud against Mark Brisco in

<v Speaker 1>a Punjabi prison. You know what, you're gonna call me

<v Speaker 1>crazy for this. I'm actually gonna give that the bell

<v Speaker 1>because I think that these two could find a way

<v Speaker 1>to make this work and to make this entertaining. I

<v Speaker 1>really do. I'm gonna put my faith in these two.

<v Speaker 1>I think they could pull it off. Am I still

<v Speaker 1>in be the book? Oh? I'm in there somewhere. I'm

<v Speaker 1>still in there. I haven't demoted myself yet. And we're

<v Speaker 1>gonna end with a traditional steel cage match. We go

<v Speaker 1>from the crazy cage to the regular steel cage. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I would say this is a little bit better here

<v Speaker 1>for the ladies, so I feel better about this for them.

<v Speaker 1>But let's see here we go with the women, get

<v Speaker 1>the main event here, which is a rarity here, and

<v Speaker 1>be the booker. We have Gail Kim. You know what,

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna do

<v Speaker 1>something a little bit different. I'm gonna make a deck.

<v Speaker 1>We're shaking things up. We are shaking things up here,

<v Speaker 1>and be the booker for the first time. We're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have ourselves an intergender main event. We have Gail Kim

<v Speaker 1>on one side of this match. This is a steel

<v Speaker 1>cage match mind you. Okay, we're gonna have Gail Kim

<v Speaker 1>in an intergender main event. This is gonna make things

<v Speaker 1>very interesting. Gail Kim against William Regal in a steel

<v Speaker 1>cage match. How do you like that? The tag team

<v Speaker 1>image ruined it from being a clean sweep. But Gail

<v Speaker 1>Kim and William Regal two great professional wrestlers. You put

<v Speaker 1>them in a cage, and you know what, I think

<v Speaker 1>they'd have a pretty damn good match. Everyone's saying, Kenny Omega,

<v Speaker 1>you imagine if I actually landed on him, how do

<v Speaker 1>you like that? You never know what You're gonna get

<v Speaker 1>here and be the book. Oh, we're gonna be shaking

<v Speaker 1>things up a little bit more too, once I actually

<v Speaker 1>gets all the updates I want to do. I just

<v Speaker 1>haven't had time lately with all the work I've had

<v Speaker 1>to do. But we're gonna be updating this. I'm gonna

<v Speaker 1>be revamping it. But yeah, every now and then, you might, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you know, you might get some intergender I mean, WWE

<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the balls to do it, but you might

<v Speaker 1>get an intergender match or two. You never know. Horrifying

<v Speaker 1>dried chicken with flavor it does, Regal does regal have

<v Speaker 1>the brass nuts. It's a steel cage match, so if

<v Speaker 1>he's got them tucked away in his tights, it's totally legal.

<v Speaker 1>So sure. Dried Chicken says delete one horror movie, Scream

<v Speaker 1>a nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play or the Thing

<v Speaker 1>a Nightmare on Elm Street. I just I wasn't a

<v Speaker 1>big Freddie guy. I like all I like all the

<v Speaker 1>other ones. Though. Cameron Spencer before Undertaker retired, I wanted

<v Speaker 1>to see him face Rick Flair and a wrestle Mania

<v Speaker 1>retirement match with Vince as the referee. Would you have

<v Speaker 1>been down for that? No, thank you, Cameron. Chicken without

<v Speaker 1>flavor says Maurice. Against ash By Elegance, loser has to

<v Speaker 1>pose for pictures with Art the clown. Yeah. I should

<v Speaker 1>point out that in that one it was Dana Brook

<v Speaker 1>and not ash By Elegance, if that matters. Jeremy Rose says,

<v Speaker 1>name you're Mount Rushmore of heels. I don't have a

<v Speaker 1>Mount Rushmore of heels, but I could tell you that

<v Speaker 1>some of the people that would be on like a

<v Speaker 1>top shortlist for me. For me, Vince McMahon is the

<v Speaker 1>greatest in many real life. I think mirror's fiction in

<v Speaker 1>many ways. But the greatest wrestling heel of all time

<v Speaker 1>is Vince McMahon. Mister McMahon, So he would have to

<v Speaker 1>be on there, yeah, to do it in like a

<v Speaker 1>Mount Rushmore like it's tough, but Vince Vince would be

<v Speaker 1>number one. And then I mean when you look at

<v Speaker 1>you know, top heels. I mean again, I grew up

<v Speaker 1>on guys like dB Yasi who would buy people off

<v Speaker 1>and kick basketballs away from little kids when he promised

<v Speaker 1>to pay them money and you know, they fifteen times

<v Speaker 1>and then kick it away at fourteen, like what a dick?

<v Speaker 1>You know. Jake Roberts is a heel, one of the

<v Speaker 1>greatest heels I've ever seen, as over as he was

<v Speaker 1>as a babyface like evil heel. Jake from like nineteen

<v Speaker 1>ninety one into ninety two is right there at the

<v Speaker 1>top of the list, you know, not for nothing. Triple

<v Speaker 1>H was a great heel too. I'm not even talking

<v Speaker 1>about the Reign of Terror. I'm talking about when he

<v Speaker 1>was like still in his physical prime, like two thousand,

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one. I'm not saying he'd be on

<v Speaker 1>my Mount Rushmore necessarily, but he was a damn good heel,

<v Speaker 1>you know during that period. Yeah, modern day you think

<v Speaker 1>modern day wrestling, MJF pretty damn high up on that list.

<v Speaker 1>Man Rick Flair, of course, Suit Jericho, that's uh or

<v Speaker 1>as I call it, No Country for old Men, Jericho,

<v Speaker 1>Anton Sugar, Jericho, death Side. I hope CM Punk at

<v Speaker 1>AJ styles at the first two entrants and the final

<v Speaker 1>two in the Royal Rumble because it feels like the

<v Speaker 1>only way we're getting any kind of singles match between

<v Speaker 1>them at this point. You know, that actually would not

<v Speaker 1>be a bad final two. Let's say Punk is going

<v Speaker 1>to win the Rumble, you have AJ with him at

<v Speaker 1>the very end, and given that he has announced that

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be retiring, you could have people buy

<v Speaker 1>into the idea that, oh my god, maybe AJ is

<v Speaker 1>going to win the Rumble, you know, and he'll get

<v Speaker 1>one last like championship opportunity at WrestleMania. Like people I

<v Speaker 1>think would buy into that. Dry Chickens says Gail Kim

<v Speaker 1>against William Regal with the Jeepers Creeper as the special

<v Speaker 1>guest referee. Good to see he's in the Halloween Spirit

<v Speaker 1>Spirit Halloween Tactical Butt Cheek ninety three, Still one of

<v Speaker 1>the best names calling it now seeing his next opponent

<v Speaker 1>is getting a stunner rock Bottom and or tombstone pile driver.

<v Speaker 1>He already had an opponent tonight that got a tombstone

<v Speaker 1>pile driver. He literally gave aj a tombstone pile driver.

<v Speaker 1>Solo monster is the goat, Yeah, but the thing is

<v Speaker 1>like a rock Bottom. Yes, a stunner. I don't see

<v Speaker 1>a stunner because he never wrestled Austin. I feel like

<v Speaker 1>he's pretty much keeping it to guys that he's worked

<v Speaker 1>with before, so it wouldn't be a stunt. He has

<v Speaker 1>taken a stunner, though, he took a stunner once on

<v Speaker 1>one of those Tribute to the Troop shows. Actually it

<v Speaker 1>might have been in two thousand and three. It might

<v Speaker 1>have been Actually right at the beginning part of his career.

<v Speaker 1>I want to say two thousand and three is when

<v Speaker 1>they started doing them. Well, thank you guys for hanging

<v Speaker 1>out with me here a little bit later than I

<v Speaker 1>wanted to go. I was hoping to go earlier, but

<v Speaker 1>the day got away from me. So I said, all right,

<v Speaker 1>we'll go. We'll go in primetime. It's all good. The

<v Speaker 1>next time I am live with you and Retro and Michael.

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get to your chats here in a moment,

<v Speaker 1>but the next time I'm live with you, I am

<v Speaker 1>shooting to go live tomorrow night after Bound for Glory.

<v Speaker 1>I was live after Slammiversary. I would like to be

<v Speaker 1>live after Bound for Glory. It is their biggest show

<v Speaker 1>of the year. They have Mike Santana going for the

<v Speaker 1>TNA World Championship in the main event. I could see

<v Speaker 1>him getting an assist from Ricky Saints, not that I

<v Speaker 1>think he should need an assist from the NXT champion,

<v Speaker 1>but the NXT champion had Trick Williams bail on him

<v Speaker 1>during the Invasion Special on Tuesday. I could see Ricky

<v Speaker 1>getting some revenge on Trick by coming out and he

<v Speaker 1>could distract him. He could prevent Trick from cheating. It

<v Speaker 1>could be anything either way. I think we're getting a

<v Speaker 1>new TNA World Champion. We got the Hardy's and the

<v Speaker 1>Dudley's one final table winner take All match. Hardy's by

<v Speaker 1>the way, the new Hog Tag Team champions. Kalanie Jordan

<v Speaker 1>I believe is defending her Knockouts Championship against Indy Hartwell,

<v Speaker 1>you've got Leon Slater defending the X Division Championship against

<v Speaker 1>Javon Evans and a bunch of other matches. So I'm

<v Speaker 1>aiming to do that, but of course I have a

<v Speaker 1>podcast to do tomorrow first, So that's episode nine thirty

<v Speaker 1>three of the SoundOff. Hey, Havelily, look at this. Haaveli,

<v Speaker 1>twenty eight months of channel membership, says, what up, Sola

<v Speaker 1>Monster shout out from Brisbane, Australia. How are you doing today? Thought? Thought?

<v Speaker 1>On the rumor Wargames teams, you are the goat, Javeli,

<v Speaker 1>I were you at the show? I know Brisbane's see,

<v Speaker 1>Australia is a gigantic country, so I don't know offhand

<v Speaker 1>how far Brisbane is from Perth, but I'm assuming it's

<v Speaker 1>many hours away. So I don't know if you were

<v Speaker 1>at the show, Javili. I'm going to assume you were not.

<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well. I'm a little tired, but I hope

<v Speaker 1>you were doing very well as far as the wargames stop.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get into that on the sound off tomorrow,

<v Speaker 1>So tune into the podcast and we'll address all the

<v Speaker 1>rumors for mister Meltzer. This week he dropped some news

<v Speaker 1>and we'll talk about the rumored lineups for wargames and

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of other things. Michael Jensen with forty nine

<v Speaker 1>months of channel membership that Oscar super Chat has hilariously

<v Speaker 1>scared the crap out of with me repeatedly since its arrival.

<v Speaker 1>Oh good, so I'm not the only one then, that's

<v Speaker 1>good to know. And Retrokoh with a member Chat thirty

<v Speaker 1>one months, Happy belated birthday. How was the Hog Show?

<v Speaker 1>I heard the Hardys won their third set of belts

<v Speaker 1>on the show, well technically fourth, they have those fourth

<v Speaker 1>rope belts from the other promotion. It was a wild

<v Speaker 1>show again. I'll talk briefly about it tomorrow as well.

<v Speaker 1>It was our ended up being our biggest show of

<v Speaker 1>the year in many ways, and there were a lot

<v Speaker 1>of wild things that happened last night. And if you

<v Speaker 1>didn't see it, the replay is up on Triller, so

<v Speaker 1>you can check it out there. With all my esteemed commentary,

<v Speaker 1>it's always the best part. Let's be honest, hey, Doctor Scorpio,

<v Speaker 1>When did Hologram joined the Kallis family? That would be

<v Speaker 1>el Clone, So you got to get it right. It's

<v Speaker 1>el Clone. Julian with a twenty dollars super Chat. Tiffany

<v Speaker 1>against Bianca is a WrestleMania caliber match, but ken wwe

<v Speaker 1>hold off on it that long given the lack of

<v Speaker 1>challengers for Tiffany. I mean, as long as Bianca has

<v Speaker 1>been out for are we even going to have her

<v Speaker 1>back in time for WrestleMania. I think that's the better question.

<v Speaker 1>She broke some fingers. She's been out since April, it's

<v Speaker 1>now October. I don't know. I don't know when she's

<v Speaker 1>coming back. Rumble maybe, or does she make it back

<v Speaker 1>in time for a women's Wargames match at Survivor Series.

<v Speaker 1>Doctor Scorpio, Oh lord, don't tell me. Tony Kahan taking

<v Speaker 1>a page from Undertaker against Undertaker in ninety four with Hologrand,

<v Speaker 1>that's the whole point of the character. Though. El Clone

<v Speaker 1>is supposed to be the evil Lucha twin. Basically, you

<v Speaker 1>know he was going to come in. He was going

<v Speaker 1>to cost Holograham his thirty four and oh undefeated streak,

<v Speaker 1>and they were gonna probably have a match at Wrestle

<v Speaker 1>Dream And now that's all out the window because Holograham

<v Speaker 1>suffered a serious knee injury and now l Clone debuted

<v Speaker 1>is one of the twenty nine members of the don

<v Speaker 1>Kallis family, and he will he will just fade into

<v Speaker 1>the background. But I said, you know, let him amass

<v Speaker 1>his own thirty four and oh record that nobody will

<v Speaker 1>give a shit about. And when Holograham comes back, then

<v Speaker 1>you can match him up. I've already put more thought

<v Speaker 1>into this though than I should have. Look of all

<v Speaker 1>the things to put thought into, that's that's not really

<v Speaker 1>one of them that I'm too concerned about anyway. Thank

<v Speaker 1>you guys for all the support tonight. We got episode

<v Speaker 1>nine thirty three tomorrow and potential Bound for Glory review.

<v Speaker 1>And I will keep you abreast. I love that word.

<v Speaker 1>I will keep you abreast of my raw plans for

<v Speaker 1>streaming on Monday. Be well, stay safe, and I will

<v Speaker 1>see you back here real soon for more SoundOff live

<v Speaker 1>here on YouTube. Hit that like button on your way out,

<v Speaker 1>and I will see you next time for more SoundOff.

<v Speaker 1>Until then, take care, guys,
