<v Speaker 1>Oh, the vision, the vision, the vision, the vision, The

<v Speaker 1>vision is blurry. As we head into WrestleMania, you know,

<v Speaker 1>there's no good time to get injured. Injuries happen. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins is injured. We don't know if he's going

<v Speaker 1>to be back in time for WrestleMania. As it turns out,

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker went under the knife had surgery for a

<v Speaker 1>hernia that he was already dealing with. But I guess

<v Speaker 1>last week it was made worse when he overturned the

<v Speaker 1>announced desk when he was in a fit of rage

<v Speaker 1>coming out of the Royal Rumble, and apparently that just

<v Speaker 1>exacerbated the injury and it was serious enough that he

<v Speaker 1>had to go ahead and have surgery for it. So

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker is questionable for WrestleMania. Apparently WWE sources believe

<v Speaker 1>that it. They're very optimistic that he'll be back in time,

<v Speaker 1>but there's no guarantee. And so the vision is this

<v Speaker 1>vision is cursed. That's what the vision is. The vision

<v Speaker 1>is cursed. So with broun Breaker out, we will see

<v Speaker 1>what direction they take his story and should he make

<v Speaker 1>it back in time for Mania. But as with last week,

<v Speaker 1>CM Punk was part of the best segment of the

<v Speaker 1>entire show. Last week. It was with Roman Rains, who,

<v Speaker 1>of course I was not expecting to see this week. Roman,

<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna see him again until after the Elimination Chamber.

<v Speaker 1>Roman is not part of the Elimination Chamber. His WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>main event is solidified, and so there was really no

<v Speaker 1>reason for him to be on the show since they

<v Speaker 1>are building for this next pl We did find out

<v Speaker 1>today that he will apparently be on five of the

<v Speaker 1>nine Raw shows heading into WrestleMania, which I have to

<v Speaker 1>say is more than I was expecting. Is more than

<v Speaker 1>I was expecting. This is how low the bar has

<v Speaker 1>been set. But hey, it could be worse. Right, He

<v Speaker 1>could be making two or three appearances, but he was

<v Speaker 1>not there today. Cempunk was, though this was for a

<v Speaker 1>segment that involved him and Finn Balor, who will be

<v Speaker 1>challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship in Chicago on the

<v Speaker 1>twenty eighth. We kind of surmised that from the last

<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, but it was made official tonight. Don't

<v Speaker 1>tell that to the fans in Cleveland who misunderstood and

<v Speaker 1>thought they were getting the match on the show. Tonight

<v Speaker 1>and they were not very happy about that. I wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>be either. So that match is official, and you know,

<v Speaker 1>I was just thinking about this. It's early yet on

<v Speaker 1>the road to Mania, right many is mid April, mid

<v Speaker 1>to late April, so there's still time. But man, so far,

<v Speaker 1>if you take CM Punk out of the equation, what

<v Speaker 1>would this build to wrestle Mania look like? So far?

<v Speaker 1>Holy shit? Not very good. Thankfully we have Punk on

<v Speaker 1>the show. You know who else was on the show tonight?

<v Speaker 1>Missus Punk. Aj Lee was back and she also is

<v Speaker 1>confirmed for a match in Chicago at the Elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>where she will be challenging Becky Lynch for the Women's

<v Speaker 1>Intercontinent title. They made that official. That will be her

<v Speaker 1>first singles match in a ring since a match on

<v Speaker 1>Row with Nikki Bella in twenty fifteen, so it's been

<v Speaker 1>quite some time since we've seen her. We've seen her

<v Speaker 1>in a tag match last year, we saw her as

<v Speaker 1>part of War Games, but this will be her first

<v Speaker 1>singles match. We also had two more names officially qualify

<v Speaker 1>for the Elimination Chamber matches, one on the men's side,

<v Speaker 1>one on the women's side. La Knight is going to

<v Speaker 1>the Elimination Chamber. Finally he gets a big win Overdue

<v Speaker 1>for One. This was his first match actually outside of

<v Speaker 1>the Rumble in God, what was it, probably a couple

<v Speaker 1>months at this point, almost two months. So he is

<v Speaker 1>in the Elimination Chamber match. Rhea Ripley has qualified for

<v Speaker 1>the women's Elimination Chamber match, which actually makes me very

<v Speaker 1>sad because it makes it that much more likely that

<v Speaker 1>Rhea Ripley is going to walk into WrestleMania as one

<v Speaker 1>half of the Women's Tag Team Champions, and that means

<v Speaker 1>that EO Sky will likely walk into WrestleMania as one

<v Speaker 1>half of the Women's Tag Team Champions. And if that's

<v Speaker 1>all they have for those two women to do at

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania is wrestle the Bella's, then shame on them because

<v Speaker 1>they should be doing more than that. Marea Ripley is

<v Speaker 1>officially and we'll find out on Friday if Alexa Bliss,

<v Speaker 1>Julia or Zelina Vega get in. That is the next

<v Speaker 1>women's qualifying match that's coming up later this week is

<v Speaker 1>a huge men's one as well. Don't forget you know

<v Speaker 1>this show and Javon Evans probably had the highlight of

<v Speaker 1>the show with the og cutter that he hit in

<v Speaker 1>the tag team match tonight. But the show had its

<v Speaker 1>moments like the cutter, like the punk segment. Overall though

<v Speaker 1>a very dull show. This show, there's a spark that's missing.

<v Speaker 1>There's just a spark that's missing of life from this show,

<v Speaker 1>and I hope they find it soon or else it's

<v Speaker 1>going to be a slog sitting through this road to WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>This is all I have to say. This is your

<v Speaker 1>raw on Netflix review. It is another Monday night. Is

<v Speaker 1>it great to be alive on a Monday night on YouTube?

<v Speaker 1>Or what come on? Now? It is Monday night. It

<v Speaker 1>is February ninth, twenty twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys for hanging out with me yet again,

<v Speaker 1>as you always do. Hit that subscribe button and hit

<v Speaker 1>that like button as well. Super chats are open and

<v Speaker 1>I will be reading your messages as they come in.

<v Speaker 1>I know we already got a couple of big ones,

<v Speaker 1>so I want to shout death sythe out here early.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you brother, and I also want to give a

<v Speaker 1>shout out to XO in the chat. We're all thinking

<v Speaker 1>about your brother. I know you've had a very tough day,

<v Speaker 1>but hopefully we'll take your mind off it here for

<v Speaker 1>the next ninety minutes or so, two hours, whatever it

<v Speaker 1>may be. And also we have to spin the wheel

<v Speaker 1>because we will find out what the likes Gooal is.

<v Speaker 1>Hit that like button anyway, but we'll find out right

<v Speaker 1>now what the likes Gooal is if we are going

<v Speaker 1>to do be the Booker later. That is how we

<v Speaker 1>start things out here. We will take this here for

<v Speaker 1>a spin, see where it goes. Three fifty that should

<v Speaker 1>be doable. That's less than what the goal usually is.

<v Speaker 1>Three hundred and fifty likes is the minimum goal here

<v Speaker 1>for be the Booker. So you guys know what to do.

<v Speaker 1>Get to it. You know. I realized we had another

<v Speaker 1>Obafemi video package tonight and still have no sense of

<v Speaker 1>exactly where he's going to land again. The belief is

<v Speaker 1>that he'll end up on Monday Night Raw, but they're

<v Speaker 1>playing it like the general managers. They both want to

<v Speaker 1>retain his services, so we still don't know yet. But

<v Speaker 1>I realize that we still have not heard anything from

<v Speaker 1>or about Royce Keys since the royal rumble. We'll see

<v Speaker 1>if they mentioned anything on NXT tomorrow night or SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>on Friday. But ever since the rumble, it's just been

<v Speaker 1>Islands on Royce Keys and where he's gonna end up.

<v Speaker 1>Let's get into the air. Oh, by the way, there

<v Speaker 1>is a brand new super chat as well. It's It's

<v Speaker 1>The announcement is pinned in the chat, but you could

<v Speaker 1>also find it in the description down below, so there

<v Speaker 1>is a brand new one. They came on the air tonight.

<v Speaker 1>They were in Cleveland. Someone once said Cleveland rocks. Cleveland.

<v Speaker 1>I have not been to I've been to Chicago, which

<v Speaker 1>is where CM punk is from. I've been to a

<v Speaker 1>lot of places. Cleveland is not one of those places

<v Speaker 1>that I've been to. I know they have the Rock

<v Speaker 1>and Roll Hall of Fame? What else did they have?

<v Speaker 1>What else? What else would I do or visit in Cleveland?

<v Speaker 1>If I ever went to Cleveland, You guys let me know,

<v Speaker 1>just in case I ever end up it, Maybe Hoggle

<v Speaker 1>run a show in Cleveland one day. But CM punk

<v Speaker 1>came on the air with a shot or punk came

<v Speaker 1>on the air. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

<v Speaker 1>He came on the air with a shot of Tequila's

<v Speaker 1>fucking straight Edge one of my talking about anyway, he

<v Speaker 1>was walking in the back and guess who he bumped into?

<v Speaker 1>Aj Lee Just like that. We haven't seen aj in

<v Speaker 1>what feels like months, and there she is, magically appears

<v Speaker 1>backstage and she's walking with her husband. Then it was

<v Speaker 1>to ringside where Michael Cole informed us that bron Breaker

<v Speaker 1>was injured last week in training. They said that he

<v Speaker 1>doesn't even know what the nature of the injury is,

<v Speaker 1>but he underwent surgery and he is going to be

<v Speaker 1>out indefinitely. So that is what they informed us at

<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the show. Again, I don't believe the

<v Speaker 1>training story is accurate, but the injury is very real, unfortunately.

<v Speaker 1>And then it was the Women's Intercontinental champion, Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>who was out to the ring to tell us that

<v Speaker 1>there is only so much disrespect that one woman can

<v Speaker 1>take Duffs VIDs. You might be onto something, he says,

<v Speaker 1>maybe Solo has tequila off camera, maybe it's in this cup.

<v Speaker 1>I never do tell you what's in the cup. You

<v Speaker 1>never know what's in the cup from one night to

<v Speaker 1>the next. It's Monday night though it's a little early

<v Speaker 1>in the week to be off the wagon, but you know,

<v Speaker 1>it's always hey, it's happy hours somewhere in the world

<v Speaker 1>at all times. You never know. But Becky Lynch is

<v Speaker 1>in the ring and she's like a crazy woman here,

<v Speaker 1>cannot take all the disrespect. When she sees that aj

<v Speaker 1>Lee has come back, it just drives her nuts because

<v Speaker 1>she saw aj walking in the back and it just

<v Speaker 1>drives her nuts. So of course this brought out aj Lee,

<v Speaker 1>who came skipping out to the ring. Becky wanted to

<v Speaker 1>know what she was doing here on her show. Aj

<v Speaker 1>said that she's not here for Becky. She's here to

<v Speaker 1>support her girl, Maxine, who's got a match against Natty

<v Speaker 1>later in the show, and then she was gonna maybe

<v Speaker 1>hang out in catering for a while. Maybe. Becky said that, look,

<v Speaker 1>I get your whole stick. You come back. You're a cute.

<v Speaker 1>She doesn't find her very cute. She's like a little

<v Speaker 1>chihuahua who keeps barking, keeping her awake at night, and

<v Speaker 1>she's ruining her life. And aj could not understand this.

<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why I haven't even done anything to

<v Speaker 1>you other than you know, beat you at Wrestle Palooza

<v Speaker 1>and then again it war games, and I guess I

<v Speaker 1>was there and helped cost you your title against Maxine.

<v Speaker 1>But to her, it's all water under the bridge. Becky

<v Speaker 1>was having a nervous breakdown. She was trying to act

<v Speaker 1>very maniacal here, trying asking AJ what is it going

<v Speaker 1>to take to get rid of you? She said, elimination chamber.

<v Speaker 1>It's in AJ's hometown of Chicago. Is that what you want?

<v Speaker 1>She wants Becky to splatter her brains on the ground

<v Speaker 1>and ruin her life like she did to her. Is

<v Speaker 1>that what you want? So? AJ pointed out that I

<v Speaker 1>haven't had a singles match in over a decade and

<v Speaker 1>it would have to be something really big. She wanted

<v Speaker 1>it to be a title match, and Becky outright refused.

<v Speaker 1>She said, nope, you don't deserve a title shot. You're

<v Speaker 1>not even full time here on the raw roster. I

<v Speaker 1>agree with Becky, we don't need any part time champions here,

<v Speaker 1>more so world champions. But we could expand that out

<v Speaker 1>to all the titles. Doesn't just have to be the

<v Speaker 1>world title. So she said no, and AJ said, well, okay,

<v Speaker 1>I guess I'll just go back to Chicago then, So

<v Speaker 1>Becky suddenly had a change of heart. That's all it

<v Speaker 1>took for her to change her mind. She was very

<v Speaker 1>insistent that the answer was no, and as soon as

<v Speaker 1>AJ threatened to go home, that was her big threat. Okay, well,

<v Speaker 1>I guess I'll just go back home. All of a sudden,

<v Speaker 1>Becky changed her mind. It didn't take a lot to

<v Speaker 1>get this woman to put her championship on the line

<v Speaker 1>against aj Lee makes no sense, but whatever, So she

<v Speaker 1>agreed to put her a title on the line against

<v Speaker 1>her at the Elimination Chamber. But if AJ thought that

<v Speaker 1>she was held down by the man before she left,

<v Speaker 1>she had no idea what she's in for. Welcome to

<v Speaker 1>the big time. You know, for a moment there, I

<v Speaker 1>have broke out into the cold sweats. I thought Tony

<v Speaker 1>Kahn was booking this show and we were gonna get

<v Speaker 1>an eliminator match at the Elimination Chamber. But thankfully, if

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do the match, you may as well put

<v Speaker 1>the title on the line. AJ really hasn't done anything

<v Speaker 1>to deserve a title shot, per se. But she did

<v Speaker 1>point out that she, you know, beat Becky at Wressell Palooza,

<v Speaker 1>and she beat her in War Games, so at least

<v Speaker 1>there's there's that history there she's gotten some some wins

<v Speaker 1>over the woman, and so now she's gonna get a

<v Speaker 1>title match. I wasn't expecting to get it this soon.

<v Speaker 1>I don't necessarily mind it because instead of just dragging

<v Speaker 1>it out until wrestle Mania, we can get the first

<v Speaker 1>match between them and the Chamber, and then it gives

<v Speaker 1>them a reason to run it back for a second time.

<v Speaker 1>So you know, I don't mind it, keep the story

<v Speaker 1>moving along. I saw somebody in the chat before. We'll

<v Speaker 1>get to the super chests later, but I saw somebody

<v Speaker 1>in the chat before mentioned Jessica Carr, and I had

<v Speaker 1>a similar thought where they had this story going with

<v Speaker 1>Becky that was very hyper focused on referee Jessica Carr,

<v Speaker 1>and they haven't really gone back to it recently, but

<v Speaker 1>I would imagine that we might see that revived, and

<v Speaker 1>I could see her being brought into this in some way,

<v Speaker 1>maybe if Becky tries to get herself disqualified or something.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Jessica Carr is going to be the referee

<v Speaker 1>for their match, so I could see her being involved

<v Speaker 1>in the finish in some way, and then that leads

<v Speaker 1>to a rematch of WrestleMania, and in the end they

<v Speaker 1>probably are going to put the title on aj Lee.

<v Speaker 1>I don't see that happening necessarily in Chicago. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>so that match has been made official and we'll be

<v Speaker 1>getting that very shortly. The other thing, I also wanted

<v Speaker 1>to mention here about the segment, and I like Becky

<v Speaker 1>and normally she's very good in these segments. She was

<v Speaker 1>trying way too hard to act crazy here to the

<v Speaker 1>point where it was actually like distracting how much she

<v Speaker 1>was overacting trying to be crazy and psychotic here in

<v Speaker 1>this segment. Jimmy USO is back. We haven't seen Jimmy

<v Speaker 1>in a while, first time in many weeks. He was

<v Speaker 1>back to tag with his brother to defend the world

<v Speaker 1>tag team titles in this booming tag team division that

<v Speaker 1>we have here on Monday nightra booming as in yes,

<v Speaker 1>it went boom and basically exploded into a million pieces

<v Speaker 1>and doesn't exist anymore. But they put the titles on

<v Speaker 1>the line against the Alpha Academy OTIS and Tozawa. Jimmy

<v Speaker 1>and Jay both coming out to Jay's music, which if

<v Speaker 1>you pay attention to the lyrics, it doesn't really make

<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of sense for the two of them

<v Speaker 1>to be coming out together to this music. But Jimmy's

<v Speaker 1>a very good brother. I don't think Jimmy cares. Jimmy's

<v Speaker 1>got a baby us on the way. I think the

<v Speaker 1>theme music is probably the least of his concerns. So

<v Speaker 1>with the USOS on the floor, Otis, he pressed Tozawa

<v Speaker 1>over his head early tossed them out onto the champions outside.

<v Speaker 1>That took us into a commercial break. Usso's took control

<v Speaker 1>during the break. Tozawa knocked Jay off the apron before

<v Speaker 1>getting hit with a Samoan drop by Jimmy, and Jay

<v Speaker 1>punched Tozawa behind the referees back. There was a spot

<v Speaker 1>I think it was coming right out of the break.

<v Speaker 1>Tozawa absolutely planted Jay with a DDT on the mat

<v Speaker 1>and he made the hot tag to Otis, who ran

<v Speaker 1>wild on both USO's before hitting Jimmy with the world

<v Speaker 1>strongest slam only for a two count. Jay made a

<v Speaker 1>blind tag. He cut off a caterpillar attempt with a superkick,

<v Speaker 1>which missed completely. The USO superkicked Otis Tozawa, though made

<v Speaker 1>a tag. He delivered multiple suicide dives and he was

<v Speaker 1>really getting the crowd into this match here and even

<v Speaker 1>he mocked Jay's the running back thing that he does

<v Speaker 1>while doing so, which got a chuckle out of me.

<v Speaker 1>Tozawa hit Jimmy with his huge diving sent on off

<v Speaker 1>the top, closed near fall out of that, Otis tagged

<v Speaker 1>in Jimmy those super kick both men and the USSOS

<v Speaker 1>gave Otis a double spear, followed that with a one

<v Speaker 1>D to the big guy and put it in the books.

<v Speaker 1>The USSOS retained the tag team titles. USO's looked a

<v Speaker 1>little off during part of this match. This was their

<v Speaker 1>first match together in almost a month and a half,

<v Speaker 1>so I guess it's kind of understandable. It got good though.

<v Speaker 1>Once Tozawa tagged in, he really got the crowd going

<v Speaker 1>there started running wild. Otherwise, very basically, very paint by numbers,

<v Speaker 1>basic match. Otherwise. Now, after the match was over, the

<v Speaker 1>USOS they were comforting Tozawa, Otis pulled his partner up

<v Speaker 1>to his feet. Everybody hugged and showed respect to each other.

<v Speaker 1>So Byron Saxon gets into the ring and Byron Saxon

<v Speaker 1>was wearing the exact same suit that Corey Graves was wearing,

<v Speaker 1>which they pointed out on commentary. I don't think that

<v Speaker 1>was something that was done on purpose. Evidently there was

<v Speaker 1>a sale somewhere I guess, I don't know. And it

<v Speaker 1>wasn't like any kind of like basic colors. It was

<v Speaker 1>like a special pattern. Like it's almost impossible for me

<v Speaker 1>to conceive that they did not do that on purpose,

<v Speaker 1>but I don't think they did. So he got into

<v Speaker 1>the ring and he asked the USOS, so what's next

<v Speaker 1>for you guys? You know WrestleMania is coming up? What's

<v Speaker 1>next for the USOS? And you would think they would

<v Speaker 1>talk about, well, you know, there's so many great tag

<v Speaker 1>teams for us to conquer and to challenge us for

<v Speaker 1>the championships, But how you say that with a straight face.

<v Speaker 1>There is no division. There is no division to speak of.

<v Speaker 1>So I guess I shouldn't be shocked by what happened

<v Speaker 1>next because Jimmy, instead of talking about what's next for

<v Speaker 1>them as a tag team, because they are the tag

<v Speaker 1>team champions, about his brother Jay. You're going to get

<v Speaker 1>into the chamber, You're going to qualify for the elimination Chamber,

<v Speaker 1>and you're going to get back to being main event Jay,

<v Speaker 1>And we don't know what that match is going to be.

<v Speaker 1>But evidently jay Uso is going to be in an

<v Speaker 1>elimination Chamber match, a qualifying match coming up soon. I

<v Speaker 1>when he said this, When Jimmy said this, he said,

<v Speaker 1>this is what everybody wants. You're going to qualify for

<v Speaker 1>the Chamber and get back to the main event. I said, actually,

<v Speaker 1>that's the exact opposite of what most people want to see.

<v Speaker 1>We don't need to see that. We need to get

<v Speaker 1>away from that. But no talk about the tag team

<v Speaker 1>titles or what's next for them? Is the Tag Team champions?

<v Speaker 1>Because what is there to say? Yeah, I've talked about

<v Speaker 1>the idea of doing the Ussos and the Luta Bros.

<v Speaker 1>But every week that goes by, there's no indication. There's

<v Speaker 1>no reason to believe that Ray Phoenix is moving from

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown to go to Monday Night Raw. So the likelihood

<v Speaker 1>diminishes with each passing week of them doing that match,

<v Speaker 1>even though I think that would be a fun match

<v Speaker 1>to do, I don't know if not that what the

<v Speaker 1>USOS do a wrestle. Maybe I can't even bring myself

<v Speaker 1>to care right now. We haven't been given a reason

<v Speaker 1>to care. I'm not sure that they know what Jimmy's

<v Speaker 1>availability is even going to be because again, Naomi, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know when she's due. I want to say she's

<v Speaker 1>due next month, but you know, they got a baby

<v Speaker 1>on the way, and so they have other things to

<v Speaker 1>focus on it. Maybe that's why they're shifting the focus

<v Speaker 1>away from the ussos because of you know, his family situation.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but we are heading into the biggest

<v Speaker 1>show of the year and right now they have absolutely

<v Speaker 1>nothing set up for the World Tag Team titles. So

<v Speaker 1>I'm not surprised that they're sort of pawning Jay off

<v Speaker 1>into the elimination chamber stuff with the idea that maybe

<v Speaker 1>he'll qualify and end up and maybe he will. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>he will end up in the chamber, but to me,

<v Speaker 1>that would be a waste of a spot. I hope

<v Speaker 1>that doesn't happen. The twenty twenty six Royal Rumble winner

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan was out to the ring next with her

<v Speaker 1>bow dominic mysterio. You know, it's almost Valentine's Day. This

<v Speaker 1>weekend is Valentine's Day, So all of you guys out there, girlfriends, wives,

<v Speaker 1>if you want to get a nice Valentine's Day gift

<v Speaker 1>for mom, whatever it may be, just don't forget whatever

<v Speaker 1>you do. Get a card, get chocolates. You know, they say,

<v Speaker 1>some women anyway, we'll say, well, I don't care about

<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day. Now, it's just, you know, it's a holiday

<v Speaker 1>for corporate greed and to sell greeting cards and chocolates.

<v Speaker 1>I don't care about Valentine's Day. Do yourself a favor,

<v Speaker 1>get them something on Valentine's Day. They say they don't

<v Speaker 1>care about Valentine's Day. They do just a word of advice.

<v Speaker 1>And Dominic took that to heart because he had the

<v Speaker 1>amazing He had the amazing Gunhar. Jerry Lawler loves guns,

<v Speaker 1>are the magnificent all hell, Goomhal, that's a great Valentine's gift.

<v Speaker 1>I happily accept the mighty Gunhar as your Valentine's gift.

<v Speaker 1>I believe that was fire Panda, but it's true. Even

<v Speaker 1>Dominic knew that he got a bouquet of roses and

<v Speaker 1>some chocolates for Live Morgan here in this segment, and

<v Speaker 1>Live said that she would give dom his gift later.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my, what does that mean? I don't know. Liv

<v Speaker 1>said that we were in the presence of the greatest

<v Speaker 1>intercontinental champion and the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time,

<v Speaker 1>even better than Rick Flair in nineteen ninety two. Last week,

<v Speaker 1>she said she put Jade Cargill and Stephanie Vakiera unnoticed,

<v Speaker 1>and they're afraid of her because they know whoever she

<v Speaker 1>chooses is going to lose their title to her at WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>So she waited for a long time, right like she

<v Speaker 1>was waiting for someone to come out. She was waiting

<v Speaker 1>for something to happen. And she's waiting, and then she

<v Speaker 1>walks over to Dom and she gives them a hug,

<v Speaker 1>and you could tell they're kind of, you know, talking

<v Speaker 1>to each other. So then Dom goes to speak, and

<v Speaker 1>then finally there is a loud what they call concussion.

<v Speaker 1>It's like a sonic boom. Okay, It's like I thought,

<v Speaker 1>for a second, I legit thought Cain was coming out.

<v Speaker 1>I remember how as Pyro this was more so I

<v Speaker 1>think during that two thousand and two two thousand and

<v Speaker 1>three period, especially in two thousand and three, when he

<v Speaker 1>came back unmasked with the towel on his head. He

<v Speaker 1>was all chained up, and they went through this period

<v Speaker 1>where you wouldn't hear any music. The announcers would be

<v Speaker 1>talking and then boom, you'd hit that. You'd hear that

<v Speaker 1>boom man, and now the fucking flames would shoot up.

<v Speaker 1>And I am convinced that they did it as a

<v Speaker 1>rib on Jim Ross. I am absolutely, one hundred percent

<v Speaker 1>convinced they did it as a rib on Jim Ross.

<v Speaker 1>And Dom got scared, Yes he did. Dom jumped. There

<v Speaker 1>was a jump scare here for them. But back then,

<v Speaker 1>especially when they moved the announcers for a while on

<v Speaker 1>the like by the stage, they moved Lawler and Jim Ross,

<v Speaker 1>they would do it to Jr. As a rib because

<v Speaker 1>sometimes he'd be like on camera speaking and then they

<v Speaker 1>would hit it out of nowhere and he would like

<v Speaker 1>you could see like it scared the fucking shit out

<v Speaker 1>of him. And I could just picture Vince in the back.

<v Speaker 1>I only got him again, pal legit the only reason

<v Speaker 1>they do that. But they hit the concussion here and

<v Speaker 1>outcomes Stephanie Viquier, the women's World champion, to her shitty

<v Speaker 1>generic music. And to call this a downgrade does not

<v Speaker 1>even do it justice. It's so bad for someone who's

<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a big star on this show. It

<v Speaker 1>is so bad, so Stephanie gets in the ring and

<v Speaker 1>she tells Liv, you talk too much. So I hope

<v Speaker 1>that Matthew was listening and we'll hear that on the

<v Speaker 1>next Bachermania shout out to Matthew. Yeah, I did an

<v Speaker 1>interview with him many years ago. Old school. Yeah, you

<v Speaker 1>can find it here on the channel if you search

<v Speaker 1>for Solomonster, Matthew or Bachermania. Good Old Chap did an

<v Speaker 1>interview with him many years back. And then after that

<v Speaker 1>she spoke in Spanish and Live wanted to know. She

<v Speaker 1>asked Dom what did she say? And Dom said, I

<v Speaker 1>don't think you want to know, so he spoke to

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie in Spanish, and then Liv wanted to know, what

<v Speaker 1>did you say? And Stephanie cut her off and said,

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what he said. He said he's a

<v Speaker 1>little bitch. I don't think that's what he said. I

<v Speaker 1>think she's lying. Liv said that she thought she would

<v Speaker 1>give Stephanie her the shirt she was wearing, which said

<v Speaker 1>hot Girls Love Dominic Mysterio, but in looking at her,

<v Speaker 1>she doesn't think Stephanie qualifies for the shirt. Stephanie said

<v Speaker 1>that she hopes Liv picks her so she can kick

<v Speaker 1>her ass or WrestleMania and she went to go leave.

<v Speaker 1>Liv said that's what she wants. You want me to

<v Speaker 1>rush my decision, but she's not going to do it,

<v Speaker 1>and if you don't like it, you can cry about it. Poota,

<v Speaker 1>She called her poota, and this greatly upset Stephanie Viquier,

<v Speaker 1>who started yelling at her in Spanish until Don walked

<v Speaker 1>over and he got slapped. The weakest, safest slap that

<v Speaker 1>you will ever see. This was there's no Stephanie mcmahonslap.

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that much. This segment did not do

<v Speaker 1>anything to get me excited to see Live Morgan against

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Vicaire or anybody, quite frankly, at WrestleMania. This felt

<v Speaker 1>like a segment that existed more to stall for time

<v Speaker 1>than anything else. This was not great. We got a

<v Speaker 1>triple threat elimination elimination chamber qualifying match here. This was

<v Speaker 1>for the women with Ria Ripley. We had Lyra Valkyria,

<v Speaker 1>and we had Ivy Nile Ivy. There's a cool double

<v Speaker 1>German that she hit early in the match to the

<v Speaker 1>other two women, sent them flying. Lyra Cattrea with a

<v Speaker 1>diving hr Ca and Rona through the ropes and then

<v Speaker 1>took her down to the floor ahead of a break.

<v Speaker 1>Ninety seconds into this match, and then coming out of

<v Speaker 1>the break, Ivy was trapped at a tree of Woe

<v Speaker 1>in the same corner where Lyra was setting up for

<v Speaker 1>a super plex on Rhea. Until Ivy reached up, she

<v Speaker 1>grabbed Lyra like in a German suplex position. Basically, Lyra

<v Speaker 1>superplexed Ria anyway, but you know, it was made to

<v Speaker 1>look like Ivy was basically pulling the two of them

<v Speaker 1>off the rope, so kind of like a Tower of

<v Speaker 1>Doom spot. And then there was a very embarrassing spot.

<v Speaker 1>Shit happen sometimes in matches. This was one of those

<v Speaker 1>times where shit happened. So what they were trying for

<v Speaker 1>here was Ria got Lyra on her shoulders and she

<v Speaker 1>turned her back at the time that Ivy was climbing

<v Speaker 1>to the top, and what they were attempting to do

<v Speaker 1>here was the old Steiner Brothers top rope bulldog spot.

<v Speaker 1>And instead, what I don't know where the miscommunication was here,

<v Speaker 1>instead of Ria just standing there and holding Lyra and

<v Speaker 1>just waiting embracing for impact, she went to drop Lyra

<v Speaker 1>down face first, and so as Lyra is going down

<v Speaker 1>face first. Ivy Nile is now in mid flight, and

<v Speaker 1>Lyra goes face first down on the mat and Ivy

<v Speaker 1>just goes flying over Lyra totally just I mean, there

<v Speaker 1>was nobody there. I don't know what happened. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know where the malfunction at the junction was here or

<v Speaker 1>whose fault it was, but it looked very bad, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they were not very happy with it either.

<v Speaker 1>You know, the old flying nothing as I call it,

<v Speaker 1>I hear that was Frank Gotcha's old finishing maneuver back

<v Speaker 1>in the early nineteen hundreds. He was the one who

<v Speaker 1>popularized it. I guess they brought it back tonight. So

<v Speaker 1>later on, Ivy got Lyra trapped at a dragon's sleeper

<v Speaker 1>until Ria broke it up with a head butt. Ivy

<v Speaker 1>came back with the backstabberd Orria. There was a sunset

<v Speaker 1>flip spot that did not go according to plan here

<v Speaker 1>where Ivy tried to take Lyra over Lyra ended up.

<v Speaker 1>She didn't really go and then she just kind of

<v Speaker 1>went backwards herself. Anyway. Lyra got Ivy up on her

<v Speaker 1>shoulders for night wing. She nailed nightwing and had the

<v Speaker 1>match won until Ria came charging in with a running

<v Speaker 1>knee strike. She blasted Lyra with it, and then she

<v Speaker 1>hit riptide on Lyra and pinned her to qualify for

<v Speaker 1>the elimination chamber. And I think the biggest surprise of

<v Speaker 1>the entire match for me, honestly, was the fact that

<v Speaker 1>it was an Ivy n Isle who took the losing fall.

<v Speaker 1>It was Lyra Valkyria. They protected Ivy from taking the

<v Speaker 1>losing pin, and Ivy had a few moments in this

<v Speaker 1>match where she was able to, you know, get some

<v Speaker 1>shine on herself. So outside of that one embarrassing spot,

<v Speaker 1>which again may may or may not have been her fault,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think it really was, but I'm sure she

<v Speaker 1>you know, when it was over, I'm sure she was

<v Speaker 1>like fuck, because how many opportunities in matches like this

<v Speaker 1>does Ivy Nile get on Raw and then something like

<v Speaker 1>that happens, And of course that's going to you know,

<v Speaker 1>stay in people's heads, and that's what they're going to

<v Speaker 1>be thinking of when the match is over. And she

<v Speaker 1>doesn't know when the next time is that she's going

<v Speaker 1>to have a match at all on Raw, So I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure she must have been frustrated about it, but at

<v Speaker 1>least she had some moments of you know, highlights for

<v Speaker 1>herself here in this match, like the double German Suplex.

<v Speaker 1>You know. The problem with this match though, is the

<v Speaker 1>crowd just wasn't really invested in it. And obviously they

<v Speaker 1>like seeing Ria because she's super over, but they just weren't.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think they were buying the fact that anybody

<v Speaker 1>other than Ria was winning this match. And as soon

<v Speaker 1>as you saw who was in the match, I mean

<v Speaker 1>you and I both knew who was going over here.

<v Speaker 1>So it's hard. You know, it's hard in those types

<v Speaker 1>of situations sometimes for people to really get into the match,

<v Speaker 1>and Ivy is someone who rarely, if ever, is even

<v Speaker 1>featured on Raw, so that doesn't help. But again, it

<v Speaker 1>worries me that Rhea Ripley is going to the elimination

<v Speaker 1>Chamber because to me, it makes it It doesn't guarantee,

<v Speaker 1>but it makes it that much more likely that she

<v Speaker 1>and EO Sky are going to potentially go into WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>as the women's tag team champions, and it could very

<v Speaker 1>well be an EO against the Bella Twins when I

<v Speaker 1>just feel like it would just be a waste of

<v Speaker 1>a WrestleMania match for the two of them. Now there

<v Speaker 1>is a chance they're going to be defending their titles

<v Speaker 1>on Friday Smackdowns on Sci Fi. By the way, don't

<v Speaker 1>forget for those of you in the States. If you're international,

<v Speaker 1>this doesn't apply to you. You could just watch it on Netflix.

<v Speaker 1>But they are going to be defending their tag team

<v Speaker 1>titles against Naya Jacks and Lash Legend. Could they lose

<v Speaker 1>them on Friday? They could. Sure, It's possible, sound likely.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind it. If it gets the belts off them,

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind it. You know. What I had suggested

<v Speaker 1>was that I would rather see them drop them to

<v Speaker 1>Bailey and Lyra, and then you can have Bailey and

<v Speaker 1>Lyra defending against the Bellas. You could have a multi

<v Speaker 1>team match with the Bellas involved. You could do whatever

<v Speaker 1>you want, But I would rather see Eo Sky if

<v Speaker 1>not wrestling riear Ripley and doing a match between them,

<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know where they're going with Oscar and Kyrie,

<v Speaker 1>and so you know, you can branch off and have

<v Speaker 1>any number of matches. You could do a singles match

<v Speaker 1>with Oscar and Eo, which we still never got that

<v Speaker 1>big singles match between them. There's any number of things

<v Speaker 1>I'd rather see. I got my fingers crossed. I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to see them go into WrestleMania with those tag

<v Speaker 1>team titles. But that now officially makes Tiffany Stratton in

<v Speaker 1>rear ripley as qualifying for the Elimination Chamber again on Friday.

<v Speaker 1>We'll find out if it is Alexa Bliss, Julia or

<v Speaker 1>Zelina Vega. It's going to be Alexa Bliss. We'll find

<v Speaker 1>out Friday. At backstage, Dominic was still holding his face,

<v Speaker 1>which looked completely ridiculous after that weak ass slap that

<v Speaker 1>he took. Liv told him, at least you got good

<v Speaker 1>news that you're going to be in a Chamber qualifier

<v Speaker 1>match next week, and he said, they also told me

<v Speaker 1>I have to defend my Intercomminental title. He didn't say

<v Speaker 1>when Finn bal was sitting nearby, he was spaced out.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know where he was, but he didn't look

<v Speaker 1>very happy, and dom said, look, he knows he's still

<v Speaker 1>bummed about losing to Punk in Ireland, but JD is

<v Speaker 1>going to be back soon. JD mcdunn is going to

<v Speaker 1>be back sooner. You guys can go after the raw

<v Speaker 1>tag team titles, and Balor said, look, I thought I

<v Speaker 1>told you I'm not done with Punk. I'm gonna win

<v Speaker 1>the World heavyweight title. Dom said, well, everyone's kind of

<v Speaker 1>talking about Punk and Roman at WrestleMania. I think your

<v Speaker 1>windows closed. Balor said, he's tired of being an afterthought.

<v Speaker 1>I thought we were supposed to be family. More Judgment

<v Speaker 1>Day drama. Stop me if you've heard this story before.

<v Speaker 1>So when they came back from break, Michael Cole was

<v Speaker 1>in the ring and he was talking, really hyping up

<v Speaker 1>in his words, what may be one of the biggest

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania main events of all time. Man takes me back

<v Speaker 1>to the the COVID era when we had Edge and

<v Speaker 1>we had Randy Orton in the ring, and who was

<v Speaker 1>it Charlie? Was it Charlie? She's in the ring as

<v Speaker 1>she goes this might be the greatest wrestling match ever.

<v Speaker 1>I still can't believe they did that, But you know what,

<v Speaker 1>there was something to be said when you promote something anything,

<v Speaker 1>a match in such a ridiculous, over the top way,

<v Speaker 1>people still talk about it and remember it years later,

<v Speaker 1>Like that just popped in my head, and that match

<v Speaker 1>is what five or six years old now. Actually ended

<v Speaker 1>up being a pretty good match too, even though Edge

<v Speaker 1>got hurt. But I still sometimes think about that and

<v Speaker 1>just the way she said it too, and then I

<v Speaker 1>think it was was it Edge or it was one

<v Speaker 1>of them. I think it was Edge, like when she

<v Speaker 1>said it just kind of looked at her, like, what,

<v Speaker 1>what did you just say? No pressure? No pressure. So

<v Speaker 1>when they came back from break, as I said, Cale

<v Speaker 1>was in the ring. He was getting ready to interview cmpunk.

<v Speaker 1>He was gonna bring out the world heavyweight champion for

<v Speaker 1>an interview. Didn't get the chance though, because Finn Balor

<v Speaker 1>slipped into the ring and he took the mic away,

<v Speaker 1>and he said he thinks people have forgotten about what

<v Speaker 1>happened a couple of weeks ago when he left the

<v Speaker 1>world champion in the middle of the ring like a

<v Speaker 1>wounded dog. Seem Punk is hurt and he's the one

<v Speaker 1>who hurt him, So he's not just gonna step aside

<v Speaker 1>and let Roman Reigns take advantage of his kill. Isn't

<v Speaker 1>that like in those call for duty or call for duty,

<v Speaker 1>call of duty? Gay, I just changed the name of

<v Speaker 1>the game. But is it like in those Call of

<v Speaker 1>Duty games? Was it Kill Confirm where you kill somebody,

<v Speaker 1>you got to get their tag, and then some motherfucker

<v Speaker 1>just comes in front of you and takes the tag instead.

<v Speaker 1>Don't you just hate that shit? They used to piss

<v Speaker 1>me off when I used to play that game, Like,

<v Speaker 1>you earn the kill, at least let me go get

<v Speaker 1>the tag and then somebody just swoops in and takes

<v Speaker 1>it away from you. See, that shouldn't be allowed. So

<v Speaker 1>he was comparing that Tom he could be a gamer

<v Speaker 1>for all I know. Maybe that's where he was coming

<v Speaker 1>from with this analogy here. But he said, Roman is

<v Speaker 1>not going to take advantage of his kill. But he goes,

<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be the first time that Roman took advantage.

<v Speaker 1>He goes, Oh, I haven't forgotten Roman took advantage of

<v Speaker 1>the top rope breaking when I had him beat in

<v Speaker 1>the middle of the ring. Oh, but believe me, we

<v Speaker 1>have not forgotten. Nobody has forgotten what happened on that show.

<v Speaker 1>He said he's tired of being an afterthought or as

<v Speaker 1>he said, an after taught. That's what he said. He

<v Speaker 1>wants cmpunk, he wants the world title, and he wants

<v Speaker 1>it at elimination chamber punk beat him on his home turf,

<v Speaker 1>fair play. He goes, now I'm going to beat him

<v Speaker 1>on his So Adam Pierce came out kill joy that

<v Speaker 1>he is. He's fled by security said that they already

<v Speaker 1>had this conversation. You had your shot or on the

<v Speaker 1>road to WrestleMania. It's too late, And Baler said, oh,

<v Speaker 1>like it's too late for me to be in the

<v Speaker 1>Royal rumble. Huh. See, if I were him, I would

<v Speaker 1>have pushed him harder on that. At least he brought

<v Speaker 1>it up, but he didn't really pursue that. So he says, look,

<v Speaker 1>see I'm punkin Roman reigns. They are part of the

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania main event. The World Heavyweight title is spoken for,

<v Speaker 1>leave the ring, let Michael Cole do his job and

<v Speaker 1>interview the champion, or I'm going to have my men

<v Speaker 1>escort you out of here. Yeah, because I mean that

<v Speaker 1>always works out so well. Solo in the Call of

<v Speaker 1>duty lobbies had to be epic moments. Yeah, Epic is

<v Speaker 1>one word for it. Losing his mind would be a

<v Speaker 1>more accurate description. Can only imagine it's probably gotten ten

<v Speaker 1>times worse. I haven't played that game in years, so

<v Speaker 1>Seeampunk's music hits. Champion Power walks down to ringside, He's

<v Speaker 1>stopped by Adam Pierce. Punk got into the ring anyway,

<v Speaker 1>right as Balor stepped outside, and he stood up on

<v Speaker 1>top of the announced desk. Punk told Baler, look, you're

<v Speaker 1>not an afterthought, you're the first thought. But you don't

<v Speaker 1>deserve a title shot. You deserve an ass beating. So

<v Speaker 1>come off that table, grow a pair, be a man,

<v Speaker 1>and see what happens when you step into this ring.

<v Speaker 1>Balor told him, no, I'm not going to fight you

<v Speaker 1>for no reason. Put the title on the line, and

<v Speaker 1>I'll finish what I started two weeks ago. Punk says,

<v Speaker 1>Cleveland would like to see you try. Come on, Finn,

<v Speaker 1>let's go. And now the crowd here in Cleveland, they're

<v Speaker 1>getting all excited. They think they might actually get a

<v Speaker 1>match out of this. And Pierce shut that shit down.

<v Speaker 1>He said he's not putting the WrestleMania main event in jeopardy.

<v Speaker 1>Punk got right up in his face and he said,

<v Speaker 1>I'm the Champion. I deserve a little bit to say.

<v Speaker 1>Either give me what I want or I spend the

<v Speaker 1>rest of this show chasing him down. So finally, Pierce

<v Speaker 1>relented and he said, fine, Cee, I'm Punk Finn Balor

<v Speaker 1>for the World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber. It is official.

<v Speaker 1>And they booed the shit out of this because these

<v Speaker 1>people thought they were getting the match tonight, because at

<v Speaker 1>some point during the prombo, Punk was the one who

<v Speaker 1>said we could do it tonight here in Cleveland. Let's

<v Speaker 1>go right, and Pierce said no, no, no, So then when

<v Speaker 1>he finally said yes, they thought, oh shit, we're getting

<v Speaker 1>a title match tonight. And when they realized that Cleveland

<v Speaker 1>wasn't getting it, Chicago was getting it, they were very

<v Speaker 1>upset about this, so they set themselves up for that one.

<v Speaker 1>So Balor laughed and Punk just stared at Michael Cole,

<v Speaker 1>who was still standing there in the ring, and he said, look,

<v Speaker 1>if you've got a question to ask me, I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>Cleveland would love to hear it. Cole said, actually, I do.

<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? He said, why would you jeopardize

<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest main events in WrestleMania history for

<v Speaker 1>that which the way it came off, it came off

<v Speaker 1>like he was completely burying Finn Balor. He's like, why

<v Speaker 1>would you jeopardize the match? That people actually want to see.

<v Speaker 1>For that, I'm like, holy shit, first Drew McIntyre and

<v Speaker 1>now Finn Balor just buried beneath the earth here. So

<v Speaker 1>Punk says, I'm not jeopardizing anything. Says, what I'm doing

<v Speaker 1>is chasing something, and that's greatness. He's being the fighting

<v Speaker 1>champion that these people deserve to see every Monday Night

<v Speaker 1>said four hundred and thirty four days is champion, and

<v Speaker 1>he's just trying to be one percent better than he

<v Speaker 1>was back then. He will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime to

<v Speaker 1>prove that he is what he says he is, and

<v Speaker 1>that is the best in the world. He's brave enough

<v Speaker 1>to know that without risk, there's no reward. He's humble

<v Speaker 1>enough to know that it could all end any day

<v Speaker 1>in any city, in front of any crowd. But he's

<v Speaker 1>also confident enough to know that, ladies and gentlemen, that

<v Speaker 1>shit ain't gonna happen. Roman Reigns. You say you hate me,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't believe that. How can you hate me?

<v Speaker 1>I don't even think you hate what I'm trying to build.

<v Speaker 1>I think you hate that. You know you can't do

<v Speaker 1>a damn thing to stop it. There's one way WrestleMania ends,

<v Speaker 1>that is with my hand raised and still heavyweight champion

<v Speaker 1>of the world. And the fans finished his promo for

<v Speaker 1>him and they all chanted Cmpunk. So this was another

<v Speaker 1>very good punk promo just in terms of his delivery,

<v Speaker 1>and he was all fired up, and you know he

<v Speaker 1>was on his a game. Now when you give him

<v Speaker 1>something you know good to work with, then he takes

<v Speaker 1>it and he turned, you know, chicken shit into chicken salad.

<v Speaker 1>They're in't a damn person in the world who thinks

<v Speaker 1>Finn Balor's got a prayer of walking out of Chicago

<v Speaker 1>as the world heavyweight champion. And this is nothing but

<v Speaker 1>time filler is what this is. You know, It's like

<v Speaker 1>when Shawn Michaels put his Royal Rumble win or his

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania title shot on the line in ninety six at

<v Speaker 1>in Your House against Owen Hart, Like, all right, you're

<v Speaker 1>gonna get a really good match out of it. But

<v Speaker 1>did anybody honestly believe that owen Hart might win. I

<v Speaker 1>mean maybe some people did, Maybe some people thought owen

<v Speaker 1>would wrestle Brett, but realistically there was no way that

<v Speaker 1>was going to happen. And you can find other examples

<v Speaker 1>of this, So we're going to get a very good

<v Speaker 1>match out of it, and Finn Balor will be Pinbalor

<v Speaker 1>just like he was the first time. He will play

<v Speaker 1>that role again here. And whatever he does at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure will involve the Judgment Day and maybe Dominic

<v Speaker 1>Mysterio and maybe another title, maybe the Intercontinental title, but

<v Speaker 1>it will not involve the World Heavyweight Championship. And because

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns is not going to be around for a

<v Speaker 1>few weeks, punk me something to do. You know, he

<v Speaker 1>needed someone to play off of. That person is Finn Balor,

<v Speaker 1>and that's fine because if not this, what would Balor

<v Speaker 1>be doing right now? Probably not a whole lot. And

<v Speaker 1>you know what, He's probably gonna have a hot crowd

<v Speaker 1>in Chicago and one of the main events on that

<v Speaker 1>show wrestling for the World Heavyweight Championships. So not a

<v Speaker 1>bad spot for him to be in, but he ain't

<v Speaker 1>gonna wint. Backstage, Adam Pierce confirmed he killed confirmed with

<v Speaker 1>security that Finn Balor was out of the building when

<v Speaker 1>the vision showed up, or what was left of the vision.

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman gave him credit for being more savvy and

<v Speaker 1>more of an adversary than he thought he was, because

<v Speaker 1>you pushed and you pushed and you pushed, and bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker his buttons were pushed so much that he went home.

<v Speaker 1>He worked out until five in the morning, deadlifting more

<v Speaker 1>weight than any human being alive should ever try to

<v Speaker 1>deadlift on his own, and he popped a hyatal hernia.

<v Speaker 1>That's major surgery. We're not talking about laparoscopic surgery where

<v Speaker 1>they go through your fucking belly button and it's very

<v Speaker 1>minimally invasive. This is major surgery, career ending surgery for

<v Speaker 1>any normal man. Bron Breaker is no normal man. But

<v Speaker 1>he said that this is Adam Pierce's corporate liability. Pierce

<v Speaker 1>stood up in his face and he said, look, I

<v Speaker 1>am the general manager of Monday Night Raw. I know

<v Speaker 1>that bron Breaker is the key to the future. Here

<v Speaker 1>he's sticking his tother wys ah, like what the fuck. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>he's sticking his tother wys ah, Like what the fuck?

<v Speaker 1>Whys ah? There it is and he's thirteen dollars, super Joe.

<v Speaker 1>Is that Sidrow? Yes, it was it was Sidrow. Hey, Sidraw,

<v Speaker 1>you popped the thirteen dollar cherry here tonight Live on

<v Speaker 1>YouTube thank you, brother. If it had to be anybody,

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad it was you. I'm gonna read your messages

<v Speaker 1>here in just a little bit. But he said, look,

<v Speaker 1>I'm the general manager of RAW and I realized that

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker is the future of WWE. Nobody wants him

<v Speaker 1>back faster other than you, guys. Nobody wants him back

<v Speaker 1>faster than me. But what's done is done. So let's

<v Speaker 1>concentrate on the elimination Chamber. The chamber gets you to WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>and in WrestleMania, you could potentially win the championship. Right,

<v Speaker 1>WWE Championship. He goes Austin. Theory has a qualifying match

<v Speaker 1>to night against Penta and La Knight. He told Hayman

<v Speaker 1>and the rest of the Vision do not get involved.

<v Speaker 1>Do not even think about getting involved. And he told

<v Speaker 1>Hayman to consider that a threat. And Hayman was very

<v Speaker 1>happy to hear this because I guess he feels he's

<v Speaker 1>gonna use it as ammunition against him. I'm so happy

<v Speaker 1>you said that, and so off went Hayman and Read

<v Speaker 1>and Theory. Logan Paul stayed behind, though, and Logan Paul

<v Speaker 1>asked Pierce, if we do get involved what are you

<v Speaker 1>going to do about it? Goes, don't answer that, it's

<v Speaker 1>a rhetorical quot question. He goes, I'm the biggest star

<v Speaker 1>to come out of Cleveland, and you're not going to

<v Speaker 1>do anything. So Bronson Reid came back and he held

<v Speaker 1>back Logan and told him, Look, Pierce is not your problem.

<v Speaker 1>He's my problem. Now what does that mean? I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>but he's still standing his ground. Adam Pierce standing his

<v Speaker 1>ground against the vision. We had Maxine Dupree against the

<v Speaker 1>low key legend Natty. That is now her official name.

<v Speaker 1>Her name has been changed. If you go to WWE

<v Speaker 1>dot com on the roster page, she is now listed

<v Speaker 1>as Natty. The only thing that has really changed is

<v Speaker 1>her Her music is a little bit different. I mean

<v Speaker 1>the opening chord is the same, but the music is different.

<v Speaker 1>And now when she enters they shoot her from behind.

<v Speaker 1>There's no entourage or anything like she had on the Independence.

<v Speaker 1>But they're trying to change elements of her character here

<v Speaker 1>in m and her appearance, her gear. I think she's

<v Speaker 1>got a mouthguard. So she was up next against Maxine

<v Speaker 1>and Maxine got an ankle lock applied on the floor outside.

<v Speaker 1>Early on natty Ville kicked her off right into the

<v Speaker 1>ring steps, and then she sent her into the ring post,

<v Speaker 1>and then she sent her onto the announced desk. Natty

<v Speaker 1>cleared the desk off. We're like a minute into this match.

<v Speaker 1>She clears the announced desk off. She gives Maxine a

<v Speaker 1>flapjack onto the desk. She climbs on top of the

<v Speaker 1>desk along with her, and she puts her in a

<v Speaker 1>sharpshooter on top of the announced desk. This is after

<v Speaker 1>she starts raining hammer fists down on this woman and

<v Speaker 1>the referee calls for the bell because I guess they

<v Speaker 1>were counted out. I guess ninety seconds in and the

<v Speaker 1>match is over here. So again she got a sharpshooter

<v Speaker 1>on her on top of the desk, and officials come out.

<v Speaker 1>They're trying to pull her off. AJ Lee's music hits

<v Speaker 1>and AJ runs down to the ring and Natty lets

<v Speaker 1>go of the hole because I guess she's deathly afraid

<v Speaker 1>of AJ. I mean, who wouldn't be, So she lets

<v Speaker 1>go of the hold and she exits into the crowd.

<v Speaker 1>AJ is helping Maxine and she was assisting her. She

<v Speaker 1>was gonna help her to the back, but Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>shows up from behind, She attacks AJ from behind. She

<v Speaker 1>sends her face first into the ring post and she leaves,

<v Speaker 1>and so now it's Maxine helping AJ to her feet.

<v Speaker 1>This was more of an angle than a match, and

<v Speaker 1>it's fine, you know, it's like a mid card feud,

<v Speaker 1>a mid card angle here with Natty and Maxine. I

<v Speaker 1>said this before, like you're going into WrestleMania, Maxine Duprix

<v Speaker 1>cannot be the Intercontinental Champion right now. That title, the

<v Speaker 1>only chance that that title has of even being on

<v Speaker 1>the WrestleMania card is to be in the hands of

<v Speaker 1>someone like Becky Lynch. If it's in the hands of

<v Speaker 1>Maxine Duprie, you ain't gonna touch, You ain't gonna sniff

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania this year. But it's like, don't give up on her,

<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, because she has improved and

<v Speaker 1>the only way she's gonna get better still very inexperienced,

<v Speaker 1>but the only way she's going to continue to improve

<v Speaker 1>is by working with people like Becky Lynch and Natty

<v Speaker 1>working with the veterans, and they're not doing anything with

<v Speaker 1>Natty anyway, so you may as well have her working

<v Speaker 1>with Maxine. It makes sense, So that's fine. And as

<v Speaker 1>far as the Natty character, it's I think it's long

<v Speaker 1>overdue that she gets a refresh. But as far as

<v Speaker 1>the aj Lee stuff and Becky, they did announce that

<v Speaker 1>next week aj will be doing an interview. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if it's going to be like sit down style

<v Speaker 1>or what it's going to be, but she will be

<v Speaker 1>a part of the show. Whether she's there live or not,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but she'll be on Raw next week.

<v Speaker 1>So after this, we had Ryo and Bravo the Americanos

<v Speaker 1>and they were out for a match against Javon Evans

<v Speaker 1>and a mystery partner which turned out to be the

<v Speaker 1>og El Grande Americano. Americano Gable actually made a hell

<v Speaker 1>of a team here. Table made a hot tag after

<v Speaker 1>the break. He gave both Americanos a double German Suplex.

<v Speaker 1>It's a second time tonight that we had the exact

<v Speaker 1>same spot. Kaiser Americana was out there he tripped Gable

<v Speaker 1>off the top rope. So the real highlight, let's let's

<v Speaker 1>get down to brass tacks here. Okay, the only real

<v Speaker 1>highlight of this match that people will be talking about

<v Speaker 1>and watching a replay of is what happened towards the

<v Speaker 1>very end of the match. So Bravo Americano. He's the

<v Speaker 1>Blue Americano, he's wearing the blue gear, Tyler bait. He's

<v Speaker 1>climbing up to the top row and he's gonna go

<v Speaker 1>for I don't know what he's going for, another flying nothing,

<v Speaker 1>I guess, but fucking gable Americano is down on the mat.

<v Speaker 1>Bravo comes flying off the top rope in one corner.

<v Speaker 1>Javon Evans is perched up on the corner, not the

<v Speaker 1>opposite side of the ring, the same side of the ring,

<v Speaker 1>but in the opposite corner. And he timed this fucking

<v Speaker 1>move so perfectly, like it's so easy to be a

<v Speaker 1>second or two off or a couple of inches off,

<v Speaker 1>and it just doesn't look right. He could not have

<v Speaker 1>time this any better. Out of mid air, as they're

<v Speaker 1>both flying, he snatches Bravo out of midair with an

<v Speaker 1>og cutter. It looked fantastic, and obviously the director knew

<v Speaker 1>it was coming because as the move is happening here

<v Speaker 1>and taking place, they cut to like an overhead drone shot,

<v Speaker 1>which actually I thought was very awkward. They cut to

<v Speaker 1>it for like two seconds and then just went back

<v Speaker 1>to a normal camera angle. So you know, obviously they

<v Speaker 1>knew it was coming. But when this was over, they

<v Speaker 1>showed like three or four replays of it. They slowed

<v Speaker 1>it down like it looked great. It looked great, But

<v Speaker 1>it was Gable who got the wind because after that,

<v Speaker 1>Javon did a dive out over the top rope Ontario

<v Speaker 1>a ringside. Gable went up top and he hit the

<v Speaker 1>The diving was the diving headbutt, and he picked up

<v Speaker 1>the win for his team, Kaiser Americano. He attacked the

<v Speaker 1>baby faces after the match. He tried to unmask Gable. Gable, though,

<v Speaker 1>turned it around, almost unmasked Kaiser until his boys helped

<v Speaker 1>him out of the ring. Yeah, the Orton timing, tell

<v Speaker 1>me about it. I mean again, the timing on that

<v Speaker 1>was spectacular and it looked great. And as far as

<v Speaker 1>the the americanos stuff, you know again, middle of the

<v Speaker 1>card fair, It's gonna be tough because wrestle Mania is

<v Speaker 1>still over two months away and I'm already like, all right,

<v Speaker 1>can we can we get to the match already? You know,

<v Speaker 1>between the two americanas, they're not even out there cutting

<v Speaker 1>promos or anything, and I just feel like this is

<v Speaker 1>gonna get very old, very fast. And I think we

<v Speaker 1>all know this is building to a mask match. I

<v Speaker 1>mean it has to be, and WrestleMania it would be

<v Speaker 1>the place to do it. And then I've said this before.

<v Speaker 1>I I would say that you unmasked Gable in that match,

<v Speaker 1>because Gable needs to be Chad Gable. Kaiser has hit

<v Speaker 1>on something that works for him, especially when he's down

<v Speaker 1>in Triple A. It's not like Triple Ah. She's doing

<v Speaker 1>fuck all with him on the main roster. If he

<v Speaker 1>goes back to being Ludwig Kaiser, taking the mask off

<v Speaker 1>him would probably be the death knell for his career.

<v Speaker 1>He should be begging to keep the mask on. But when

<v Speaker 1>we eventually get the match, I would hope that Gable

<v Speaker 1>is the one who who loses, just so we can

<v Speaker 1>get beyond this and they could do other stuff with him.

<v Speaker 1>We got a new video package on Obafemi, so he

<v Speaker 1>was not physically on the show. We got a video

<v Speaker 1>with him. He talked about how people fear change. People

<v Speaker 1>that don't adapt perish. For a long time, people have

<v Speaker 1>been talking about change. The change is coming. He goes,

<v Speaker 1>change is here, but You'll have to wait a few

<v Speaker 1>more weeks, I guess to find out what brand he

<v Speaker 1>is going to land on. Maybe he'll be on the

<v Speaker 1>show next week and he can squash another tag team,

<v Speaker 1>or better yet, you could just run the war Raiders

<v Speaker 1>back out there and he can beat them up again.

<v Speaker 1>There in highlights from Gunther's segment last week where he

<v Speaker 1>was mocking aj styles, dragon Lee ran out to attack

<v Speaker 1>and he ended up getting choked out. So we come

<v Speaker 1>back live in the back and Gunther is just standing

<v Speaker 1>there and he's laughing. He tells Byron Saxton he could

<v Speaker 1>not care less about Dragonly. He's focused on WrestleMania, and

<v Speaker 1>Byron mentioned that he's going to be in an elimination

<v Speaker 1>Chamber qualifying match next week, and Gunther said that his

<v Speaker 1>road to WrestleMania should have started when he dropped old

<v Speaker 1>Yeller Bale. Why did I say that Beale Beale Goldberg.

<v Speaker 1>He dropped him out back, put a slug in the

<v Speaker 1>back of his head. That's where his WrestleMania road should

<v Speaker 1>have begun. His road to WrestleMania should have begun when

<v Speaker 1>he made Johnsen to do the one thing he vowed

<v Speaker 1>he would never do. His WrestleMania Rode should have started

<v Speaker 1>when he put aj Styles to sleep, but instead it

<v Speaker 1>starts next week. But don't worry, he said, the result

<v Speaker 1>is going to be the same because he is walking

<v Speaker 1>out of WrestleMania as the brand new WWE champion. And

<v Speaker 1>then we learn what the match is going to be

<v Speaker 1>next week. You're ready for this in an elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>qualifying match. Actually, get me started now, Beale Goldberg. Goulberg

<v Speaker 1>will remind me let him stay in retirement. The match

<v Speaker 1>next week, Triple Threat, it's gonna be Gunther, Javon Evans

<v Speaker 1>and Dominic Mysterio. One of those three.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's sticking his tothers ah like what the fuck? Ayah,

<v Speaker 2>he's sticking his ah Like, what the fuck? Hey, it's

<v Speaker 2>the Matt Vernon kid with a thirteen dollars draw.

<v Speaker 1>What's going on, Chris? One of these men can advance

<v Speaker 1>to the Elimination Chamber only one. The other two go home.

<v Speaker 1>On the women's side, next week, it's going to be Oscar,

<v Speaker 1>Bailey and Natty, which should be a win for OSCA,

<v Speaker 1>I would hope. Well, let's talk about Gunther. Here. Problem

<v Speaker 1>with Gunther is you send Gunther to the elimination Chamber.

<v Speaker 1>He can't be pinned. You can't beat him. It's an

<v Speaker 1>elimination style match, so if he's in it, he either

<v Speaker 1>wins right or he gets pinned and he's not winning.

<v Speaker 1>So I don't think he makes it to the elimination

<v Speaker 1>Chamber because it doesn't make any sense in a triple

<v Speaker 1>threat match next week. He doesn't have to take the

<v Speaker 1>losing fall the way that he was so dismissive here

<v Speaker 1>of Dragon Lee is going to be his downfall next week,

<v Speaker 1>and Dragon Lee is going to cost him his elimination

<v Speaker 1>Chamber match. I think we may end up with Guntherer

<v Speaker 1>and Dragon Lee in a singles match on the actual

<v Speaker 1>pl because that sounds like a raw match. I would

<v Speaker 1>do that match in Chicago with the chamber, and I

<v Speaker 1>think that would be a very good match, certainly for

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee. But yeah, I don't see Gunther advancing because

<v Speaker 1>if you do that again, you're just boxing yourself into

<v Speaker 1>a corner unnecessarily. So I think Javon Evans is going

<v Speaker 1>to the Elimination Chamber, and I hope he makes it

<v Speaker 1>because he's fresh. He'll do some fun things in there.

<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna win, but absolutely I would send Javon

<v Speaker 1>to the chamber, and I think that's exactly what's going

<v Speaker 1>to happen next week. Then Gunther can extract revenge on

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee for costing him the chance to challenge for

<v Speaker 1>the WWE Championship. And I think that Javon is beating

<v Speaker 1>Dom in that match to get in. The main event

<v Speaker 1>of this show was a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier with

<v Speaker 1>La Knight, Austin Theory, and Penta. I should point out

<v Speaker 1>that Austin Theory, for those who have forgotten, is a

<v Speaker 1>former Elimination Chamber winner. Now it was for the United

<v Speaker 1>States Championship, but still he won an elimination Chamber match

<v Speaker 1>just to illustrate to you how far his star has fallen,

<v Speaker 1>and he was trying to enter another one here. I

<v Speaker 1>do remember another elimination Chamber where he took an F

<v Speaker 1>five from brock Lesner off the top of one of

<v Speaker 1>the pods, And I want to say, was that the

<v Speaker 1>show in Perth? I think that might have been the

<v Speaker 1>show in Perth. So he has been an elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>matches before Theory took control through a commercial break, and

<v Speaker 1>since he was the lone heel in the match, things

<v Speaker 1>basically slowed to a crawl. Later on, Night countered a

<v Speaker 1>rolling dropkick by Theory into a belly to back suplex

<v Speaker 1>pent and nail bow both men with a flying crossbody

<v Speaker 1>before super kicking Theory. He gave Knight a sling blade.

<v Speaker 1>Knight set Penta up for a superplex. Theory, though, got

<v Speaker 1>underneath them and brought both men down with a double

<v Speaker 1>power bomb. So more or less the same spot, very

<v Speaker 1>similar spot to what we saw in the women's triple

<v Speaker 1>Threat earlier. That's the second time here on this show

<v Speaker 1>that we have had a spot essentially repeated twice on

<v Speaker 1>the same show. So Theory tried for a stomp on Night,

<v Speaker 1>Knight took him down with an inverted DDT. Then he

<v Speaker 1>hit the leaping elbow off the top and he was

<v Speaker 1>measuring him. He was getting ready for the BFT when

<v Speaker 1>here comes Logan, Paul and Bronson Reid, who were explicitly

<v Speaker 1>told by Adam Pierce, you are not to get involved

<v Speaker 1>in this match. They don't give a fuck, so they

<v Speaker 1>run down to the ring, get up on the apron,

<v Speaker 1>Logan gets knocked down, Bronson gets knocked down. The end

<v Speaker 1>up outside the ring, Knight does and he takes down

<v Speaker 1>the Logan Paul and then Bronson it comes charging in

<v Speaker 1>and just mows him down with a running body block,

<v Speaker 1>so they get him in the ring. Reid squash his

<v Speaker 1>Night with a tsunami splash. Again, there's not disqualifications because

<v Speaker 1>it's a triple threat match, so Adam Pierce runs out

<v Speaker 1>with officials to send the Vision to the back. Theory

<v Speaker 1>stomped the fuck out of Night and he had him

<v Speaker 1>beat and Penta and Boy he waited until the very

<v Speaker 1>last second, but at the last second here in this match,

<v Speaker 1>he pulled Theory out to the floor. Theory, though, ends

<v Speaker 1>up backdropping Penta onto and over the announced desk when

<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, the masked man reappeared. He's back again,

<v Speaker 1>the Man in Black. He reappears at ringside. He superkicks

<v Speaker 1>Theory and then he stomps him on the floor and

<v Speaker 1>then ultimately he gets chased to the back. Because Bronson,

<v Speaker 1>Reid and Logan palsey this, they come running back down

<v Speaker 1>to ringside and they chase the mass Man into the

<v Speaker 1>crowd and off they go. And that allowed La Knight

<v Speaker 1>back inside to drop Theory with a BFT and pin

<v Speaker 1>him to advance to the elimination chamber. La Knight actually

<v Speaker 1>wins a match here, which is great news, and he

<v Speaker 1>advances along with Randy Orton so far in the men's chamber.

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what. The way that that masked man

<v Speaker 1>was moving around, I got my eye on him. I'm

<v Speaker 1>watching this guy. I'm like, I know who that is.

<v Speaker 1>I know that's Grayson Waller underneath that mask. He ain't

<v Speaker 1>gonna be unmasked as Grayson Waller. It'll be Seth Rollins eventually,

<v Speaker 1>but it was most definitely Grayson Waller under that mask.

<v Speaker 1>And the funny thing is like he costs Austin Theory

<v Speaker 1>the match he stomps Austin Theory. There's a story there

<v Speaker 1>if he was to be unmasked, of all people stomping Theory,

<v Speaker 1>it turns out to be Grayson Waller. There's a story there.

<v Speaker 1>I can't really say that I care to see it,

<v Speaker 1>but there is a story there. But as I told

<v Speaker 1>you months ago, you know what did I tell you

<v Speaker 1>when Theory joined the Vision? I said he joined the

<v Speaker 1>Vision more than anything else to be the fall guy.

<v Speaker 1>Somebody's got to lose matches for this group. Somebody has

<v Speaker 1>to be the loser of the crew. That is his job.

<v Speaker 1>He'll win matches here and there just to keep up

<v Speaker 1>some shred of credibility. But in these types of situations,

<v Speaker 1>they don't want to be beating bron Breaker or Bronson

<v Speaker 1>Reid or Logan Paul. So who do you beat? You

<v Speaker 1>beat Austin theory. He did his job, that was his

<v Speaker 1>role here in this match. I actually thought the outside

<v Speaker 1>interference is as tired as it is in this fucking

<v Speaker 1>company every week with this shit. It actually made things

<v Speaker 1>a little more unpredictable here because coming into this, I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure most people looked at this and said, Okay, l A.

<v Speaker 1>Knight's going to probably win. He's got to be the favorite,

<v Speaker 1>you know, coming into this match. And so what they

<v Speaker 1>tried to do is they try to at least make

<v Speaker 1>you think that he might not win. Yeah, they try

<v Speaker 1>to make you think the vision's going to fuck him

<v Speaker 1>over again and he's not going to get in. And

<v Speaker 1>then ultimately he did because he should, because that's the

<v Speaker 1>correct outcome here. So we got two more names on

<v Speaker 1>this show who qualified for the elimination Chamber matches. We

<v Speaker 1>got a couple of new matches made title matches for

<v Speaker 1>the pl CM Punk had another standout night, but as

<v Speaker 1>I said, you know at the top of the show. Overall,

<v Speaker 1>Rawgers was very dull, and there is a spark that

<v Speaker 1>just is not there yet. And it's still early yet

<v Speaker 1>in the build to wrestle Mania again, like I said,

<v Speaker 1>over two months left to go, but it's going to

<v Speaker 1>be here before you know it. This is the time

<v Speaker 1>of year that typically should be the most exciting period

<v Speaker 1>for WWE. I mean, I wish it was exciting all

<v Speaker 1>year round, but you're coming out of the rumble, You're

<v Speaker 1>heading into the biggest show of the year. Usually get

<v Speaker 1>all your big stars back around this time, right, there's

<v Speaker 1>a lot of part time stars Roman reigns, aj Lee

<v Speaker 1>Brockleisner who reappear magically on television around this time. We've

<v Speaker 1>had a bunch of new NXT co Obafemi and Javon Evans.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll get more. We'll see where Royce Keys ends up.

<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting for it to kick up into that next year.

<v Speaker 1>I hope so, because otherwise, again, this road to WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>is going to be very difficult to sit through now

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reign's not being there and bron Breaker being injured.

<v Speaker 1>I mean Seth was already injured, but now Bronze hurt.

<v Speaker 1>That doesn't help. You know, when you have injuries and

<v Speaker 1>you have to change plans all of a sudden because

<v Speaker 1>this person's not available, this person's not here, that doesn't help.

<v Speaker 1>But that's not the only reason. And when the show

<v Speaker 1>was over, at the very end here they aired an

<v Speaker 1>in memoriam graphic at the end of the show for

<v Speaker 1>Jim Shank. Jim Shank was a longtime WWE production person.

<v Speaker 1>Believe he joined the company in November of ninety nine,

<v Speaker 1>so been there a long time. That was the month

<v Speaker 1>that Stone Cold got run down by Rikishi. That is

<v Speaker 1>when he joined the company. He passed away on Friday

<v Speaker 1>after a battle with cancer. He was only sixty years old.

<v Speaker 1>I think. I think last month he just celebrated a

<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago his sixtieth birthday. In more recent years,

<v Speaker 1>he was their operator for their remote control and robotic

<v Speaker 1>cameras during the shows, and employees of the company, friends

<v Speaker 1>of his talent on the roster. They all contributed. They

<v Speaker 1>had to GoFundMe, which I think is still up and running,

<v Speaker 1>But there was a GoFundMe that was set up that

<v Speaker 1>raised over two hundred thousand dollars. There was some new

<v Speaker 1>type of targeted treatment for his cancer that was still

<v Speaker 1>kind of in the experimental phase. I think it was

<v Speaker 1>being fast tracked by the FDA, but it wasn't fully approved,

<v Speaker 1>so the family had to pocket the cost on their own.

<v Speaker 1>I guess insurance was going to cover it, so they

<v Speaker 1>raised well over two hundred thousand dollars to help pay

<v Speaker 1>for it. They thought it might help save his life.

<v Speaker 1>I know Vince McMahon alone, you can see his name

<v Speaker 1>is the Vince McMahon alone. I think donated over one

<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty thousand dollars to it. And my understanding

<v Speaker 1>is that he was in the middle. He had started

<v Speaker 1>this new treatment. I guess it was like four stages,

<v Speaker 1>and I think he was three out of the four

<v Speaker 1>stages in it was going well, but then he died,

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if there was some sort of complication.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was, but unfortunately he passed away.

<v Speaker 1>So very sorry to hear that, And all I could

<v Speaker 1>say is fuck cancer, Fuck cancer. What did you think

<v Speaker 1>of raw? From Cleveland thirty seven point five percent thumbs

<v Speaker 1>up for tonight's show thirty two point two percent thumbs

<v Speaker 1>in the middle and thirty percent down. See that's not

<v Speaker 1>the kind of score you want to see when you're

<v Speaker 1>on the road to WrestleMania. Not good. They need to

<v Speaker 1>do better. Next week is another week. Hopefully they will

<v Speaker 1>have something exciting for us. Let's take a look at

<v Speaker 1>your super chats here. We got a bunch of them

<v Speaker 1>to go through again. The goal for tonight was a

<v Speaker 1>modest one, and we hit that easily. We're almost at

<v Speaker 1>five hundred likes. I think the goal was like three

<v Speaker 1>point fifty, So definitely going to get some be the

<v Speaker 1>booker in here in just a little bit. Hey dried chicken,

<v Speaker 1>Thank you for the Five Brother, says Ricochet. Comments about

<v Speaker 1>WWE doesn't really bother me whatsoever. Wis makes you hate

<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling in America. That's true. Also, I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if you heard it or not, but reportedly Triple H

<v Speaker 1>is facing internal criticism over WrestleMania ticket sales. Let's be honest,

<v Speaker 1>his less is more approach is not working, or you know,

<v Speaker 1>it could also be the fact that they have priced

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people out of going to the shows.

<v Speaker 1>I see. I guarantee you if they would have stuck

<v Speaker 1>to New Orleans like they were originally going to do

<v Speaker 1>this year, they wouldn't be having these issues. They would

<v Speaker 1>have more tickets sold by now for New Orleans than

<v Speaker 1>they do for Vegas. But out of their own greed,

<v Speaker 1>there's something like twenty percent behind I think from where

<v Speaker 1>they were this time last year, because they're running the

<v Speaker 1>same venue and I think they're like eighteen percent or

<v Speaker 1>twenty percent behind in ticket sales. Good Do Better, Do

<v Speaker 1>Better gmb sais solo. Do you own a pair of

<v Speaker 1>lemon pepper steppers? I don't. I should probably buy though,

<v Speaker 1>I could wear them to the next hog show. See

<v Speaker 1>the commissioner coming out and his lemon pepper steppers. Groovy Goose,

<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Dry Chicken says bron Breaker's injury is very unfortunate.

<v Speaker 1>If it's really bad, Breakers should focus on getting better

<v Speaker 1>and sit this WrestleMania out. If liv Morgan keeps on

<v Speaker 1>saying goat, I'm going to have her start gifting her

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to start gifting her some goat meat

<v Speaker 1>and goat. She well, you know, Live Morgan, I believe

<v Speaker 1>has a farm. She has her own farm. Finn Balor

<v Speaker 1>should show up on TNA just to stick it to

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pearce, Triple H and Nick Cohn. He has nothing

<v Speaker 1>to lose, go rogue. They partner with TNA. Believe me,

<v Speaker 1>TNA ain't gonna do shit to piss off WWE Phil

<v Speaker 1>with the nine ninety nine, it says high solo, do

<v Speaker 1>you like Wingstop? And if you do, what flavor wings

<v Speaker 1>do you like? I was turned off from Wingstop with

<v Speaker 1>those commercials a couple of years ago that would not

<v Speaker 1>stop airing, and I said, I will never eat at

<v Speaker 1>a Wingstop ever again because of these annoying commercials. So no,

<v Speaker 1>I do not I do not eat at Wingstop. I

<v Speaker 1>didn't really have a favorite flavor. I used to enjoy

<v Speaker 1>the wings. Believe it or not, it was Applebee's they

<v Speaker 1>were in bed. I love seeing those magenta chats, says

<v Speaker 1>I can see Drew helping Sammy win on Friday. As

<v Speaker 1>punishment Nick All, this makes Cody and Jacob at the Chamber.

<v Speaker 1>The winner is added to the WWE title match along

<v Speaker 1>with the Chamber winner. But Cody and Jacob bends in

<v Speaker 1>a double pin and we get a multi man in WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna end up with a multi man in WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>We cannot have Cody Roads and Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>I actually think it makes it more likely that Randy

<v Speaker 1>Orton wins the elimination Chamber. But whatever the final combination

<v Speaker 1>ends up being, we need a multi person match of

<v Speaker 1>wrestle and I usually would not be the one arguing

<v Speaker 1>for the WWE Championship to be more than just one

<v Speaker 1>on one, but for this year, it has to be

<v Speaker 1>Chris O'Neill, Thank you very much. What does Zilla say?

<v Speaker 1>Zilla's he speaks his mind. I didn't. I didn't see

<v Speaker 1>that's side. Goldberg once injured his hand punching a car window,

<v Speaker 1>and now bron Breaker injured himself by flipping a table. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's just on a spot that you would think

<v Speaker 1>would be so simple. I want to know how heavy

<v Speaker 1>these fucking tables are now that they've reinforced. That wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>have happened if it was those old Spanish announced desks.

<v Speaker 1>Zachary Black, look at zach forty dollars super Chat. We

<v Speaker 1>are still working on the stadium. I really wish I

<v Speaker 1>could still listen to your show live, but maybe you

<v Speaker 1>can do me a favor, just say hey, Julie, like

<v Speaker 1>in the vein of that one Garfield Christmas special. I

<v Speaker 1>think I just said it even better. I hope that

<v Speaker 1>was sufficient for you. Hey, Julie, well keep up the

<v Speaker 1>good work man. I know you're doing hard work there, Zach.

<v Speaker 1>Hopefully one of these days you'll get to join live.

<v Speaker 1>But I appreciate the support very much. Death sithe I

<v Speaker 1>predict after Punk retains an elimination Shamer. Immediately after the match,

<v Speaker 1>Roman beats down Punk in front of Punk's friends and

<v Speaker 1>family and aj Lee, and he holds up the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship in one hand and holds a fallen Punk

<v Speaker 1>in the other by his chin. I don't see it

<v Speaker 1>happening that way. I mean, Roman could pop up at

<v Speaker 1>the elimination Chamer, but I don't think it happens exactly

<v Speaker 1>like that. Death Site says it's not like Roman hasn't

<v Speaker 1>done healish things as a baby face before. Best example

<v Speaker 1>Roman trying to murder braunz Stroman with an ambulance. I mean, hell,

<v Speaker 1>hul Kogan tried to murder the Rock with an eighteen

<v Speaker 1>wheeler and he got cheered a WrestleMania dry Chicken says,

<v Speaker 1>here's a spoiler, an elimination chamber, Becky Lynch cheats to win,

<v Speaker 1>or she intentionally punches Jessica Carr the referee to get

<v Speaker 1>herself disqualified. I could absolutely see Jessica Carr being involved

<v Speaker 1>in some form or fashion in the finish of that match.

<v Speaker 1>I have to circle back around to that there was

<v Speaker 1>unresolved issues between the two of them that were just

<v Speaker 1>dropped cold and the Becky Lynch and aj Leaf. You'd

<v Speaker 1>needs more sauce and more seasoning. It needs to be

<v Speaker 1>a hot meal, not cold. Andre Jefferson Rhea wins the

<v Speaker 1>chamber and faces Jade. You know, I did see that

<v Speaker 1>Bliss fan was very upset with that idea when that

<v Speaker 1>super check came in. He does not support that at all.

<v Speaker 1>Barry mk so was that the new Stephanie song sounded

<v Speaker 1>good to me? Well, you must not be watching the

<v Speaker 1>show week to week because it's pretty fucking terrible. There

<v Speaker 1>was no reason to change the previous music. That's the

<v Speaker 1>thing that's very annoying about this. There's no known reason

<v Speaker 1>why the music had to change. And if the music

<v Speaker 1>did have to change, then they have to put in

<v Speaker 1>better effort when it comes to a lot of these

<v Speaker 1>theme songs. I mean, it's just something out of a catalog,

<v Speaker 1>that's all it is at this point, Paul Carpenter, if

<v Speaker 1>mister Perfect did not leave the WWE in ninety six,

<v Speaker 1>do you think he would have had another big run

<v Speaker 1>as a single star against the likes of Triple H

<v Speaker 1>and Steve Austin. I don't think that he would have

<v Speaker 1>been pushed at that level. I don't, I don't. I

<v Speaker 1>think Vince would have used him as someone to help

<v Speaker 1>elevate some of the newer stars, not necessarily be in

<v Speaker 1>the main events scene, working with them. Italian Stallion Solamon's

<v Speaker 1>their best channel on YouTube. I'll give you a get

<v Speaker 1>a nice born there for that one. I agree, we

<v Speaker 1>got b Needler. What is Roman going to do in

<v Speaker 1>those five shows? He's going to tell the crowd to

<v Speaker 1>acknowledge him. Is he gonna wrestle on any of those shows?

<v Speaker 1>Highly unlikely, but he'll there'll be a lot of acknowledging

<v Speaker 1>going on. Willie Billy. Is it just a coincidence that

<v Speaker 1>every time I see the vision on TV, I wish

<v Speaker 1>I had no vision. I'm telling you right now, the

<v Speaker 1>vision is very blurry, right Chicken says Cleveland Rocks Ohio.

<v Speaker 1>Only Raw had Rocks and Perez tonight. Yeah, I wonder

<v Speaker 1>where she was. That's right, she was not on the

<v Speaker 1>show either, and Bee says, we'll watch the mass Man

<v Speaker 1>be bron Breaker now. It's like when the Black Scorpion

<v Speaker 1>was showing up and that it ended up being Rick

<v Speaker 1>Flair didn't make any sense. It's so stupid fire Panned.

<v Speaker 1>There's fire panned. Good to hear from fire pen Since

<v Speaker 1>angry Solom Monster is the best Solom Monster. What are

<v Speaker 1>some segments or finishes that made you completely lose your mind?

<v Speaker 1>There was a little pay per view called Helena Cel

<v Speaker 1>back in twenty nineteen that would probably qualify for that

<v Speaker 1>triple h and Booker t WrestleMania in nineteen. I was

<v Speaker 1>more floored by that, Frankly, and after some of the

<v Speaker 1>promos we got leading up to it, that the finish

<v Speaker 1>was done in the way that it was done. But

<v Speaker 1>Helena Cel twenty nineteen has to be in the top three.

<v Speaker 1>I feel like that stands head and shoulders above all

<v Speaker 1>the rest. I'll throw a WrestleMania thirty nine in there too. Frankly,

<v Speaker 1>Bray buried by Goldberg and that was the fiend. What

<v Speaker 1>was that super showdown. God that was fucking terrible. God

<v Speaker 1>that sucked. Yep. Zachary says two thousand fatal four way

<v Speaker 1>had me infuriated, Rock should have won. Rock would have won.

<v Speaker 1>They were waiting for Austin. They had to wait one

<v Speaker 1>more month. He wasn't ready yet, otherwise he would have won. BROLLI,

<v Speaker 1>this is the most annoyed I have been after a

<v Speaker 1>raw in years. Like literally everything on this show is

<v Speaker 1>so fucking repetitive. Nothing is fun anymore. I'm not going

<v Speaker 1>to disagree with you. I said. The spark is not there.

<v Speaker 1>There's no life to it. There's no life to it.

<v Speaker 1>They have like it's like having a template, a copy

<v Speaker 1>and paste template every single week. That's what Row feels like.

<v Speaker 1>It's a copy and paste job. Oh God, Triple Ah

<v Speaker 1>beating Sting at WrestleMania. Yeah, there's another one. Forgot about

<v Speaker 1>that one, super Pony. Which of these three sports franchise

<v Speaker 1>this is the most poverty The New York Jets, the

<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Browns, or the Sacramento Kings. The New York Jets,

<v Speaker 1>the New York Jets. Awful retro koh USO's music during

<v Speaker 1>their entrance. It's just me oose. My brother's a bitch.

<v Speaker 1>Brolly says AJ. Becky should be a serious, interesting feud,

<v Speaker 1>but instead they made into a fucking comedy act by

<v Speaker 1>having Becky act like a spoiled child. She was just

<v Speaker 1>overacting in this segment. I said, she was like she

<v Speaker 1>was trying too hard. It was just it was distracting.

<v Speaker 1>Super Pony if you had to call it. Now, does

<v Speaker 1>AJ go to aew or No. I'm gonna say no.

<v Speaker 1>Better chance of something in TNA than aw Broley says

<v Speaker 1>Javon has been in the americanos vortex for a month.

<v Speaker 1>Why is Lyra jobbing? Why is Natty slash Maxine on

<v Speaker 1>my TV? Maxine is never going to improve? Give it up, man.

<v Speaker 1>You imagine like Michael Hayes just walking up to her

<v Speaker 1>in the back and saying that pack your bags, you're

<v Speaker 1>out of here. You're never gonna get any better. Dried

<v Speaker 1>Chicken says Jay Z and Rock Nation should buy WWE

<v Speaker 1>from TKO No Willie Billy. Every time the pyro would

<v Speaker 1>go off back in the day, Taz would let out

<v Speaker 1>an audible whoa. It was so great every time. Wow,

<v Speaker 1>Oh he's enjoyed it. On SmackDown when he be uh, well,

<v Speaker 1>here comes the pain. Brolly, we talk about Julia's booking.

<v Speaker 1>What about Lyra? Lyra was getting a good decent push

<v Speaker 1>there for a while and now not so much. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what happened there. She's fallen off and Brolly says,

<v Speaker 1>have EO eliminate Rhea from the chamber, causing Ria to

<v Speaker 1>get obsessed with beating EO. Kind of like Eddie and

<v Speaker 1>Ray in O five leading up to one versus one

<v Speaker 1>at WrestleMania. As long as we get that one on

<v Speaker 1>one match, it's all the matters. That's what I want

<v Speaker 1>to see. Sidrow with the thirteen accidentally drank holy water

<v Speaker 1>with my laxative. I'm about to start a religious movement

<v Speaker 1>and posted my resume on LinkedIn. Park. Applied so hard

<v Speaker 1>and got so far, but in the end I wasn't

<v Speaker 1>even hired LinkedIn Park. Diego Vasquez. They're making Javon Evans

<v Speaker 1>into Young Americano or El Hooven Americano, aren't they feels

<v Speaker 1>like he's been wrestling them for a month at this point. Well,

<v Speaker 1>that's the exciting, the exciting vision of WWE creative. Sidro says,

<v Speaker 1>did you hear about the mechanic who lost his legs.

<v Speaker 1>He's a handyman now. Ps you could say that he

<v Speaker 1>went out on a limb. Well, he's on a roll here.

<v Speaker 1>Dried chicken, says Becky Lynch. Character her persona has reminded

<v Speaker 1>me of Jane Kasmeric aka Lois Roseanne Barr and Archie Bunker.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think of any of those when I see

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch, not a single one of them. Cidro doctor

<v Speaker 1>advised me to take two tablets four times a day.

<v Speaker 1>That's why I got arrested in the Apple store. Which

<v Speaker 1>Lord of the Rings character never had toys? Legoless? I

<v Speaker 1>don't know who that is, so it didn't work on me,

<v Speaker 1>but maybe you guys know who that is. Lego Less?

<v Speaker 1>Was that a character from Lord of the Rings? It's

<v Speaker 1>a terrible name. What kind of name is that? The

<v Speaker 1>Mount Vernon King Christopher Bennett one of those new thirteen

<v Speaker 1>dollars super Chaz Wwe should produce a live action recreation

<v Speaker 1>or recreation reaction from Randy Orton. I would love to

<v Speaker 1>see his reactions to that mid Air O. G. Cutter

<v Speaker 1>from Javan. I feel Randy would be impressed. Yes, I

<v Speaker 1>think Randy would give it the thumbs up and give

<v Speaker 1>it a ten out of ten. I think he would

<v Speaker 1>be the only thing is he would probably be very

<v Speaker 1>upset he wasn't part of that spot. Randy Orton himself

<v Speaker 1>would never be able to pull that off. Randy Orton

<v Speaker 1>is not jumping off the top rope into a an RKO.

<v Speaker 1>He wasn't doing that when he was twenty years younger,

<v Speaker 1>and he's not doing it now. But I think he

<v Speaker 1>would be very impressed. Oh Lo Goless, is that the character?

<v Speaker 1>I told you. I watched maybe half of the first

<v Speaker 1>Lord of the Rings and I fell asleep because I

<v Speaker 1>was going to watch the first one. I was going

<v Speaker 1>to watch the two Towers and then whatever the third

<v Speaker 1>one was. I fell asleep during the first one. I

<v Speaker 1>never went back to it. Bobby means after tonight's outcome

<v Speaker 1>with Maxine and Natty, this could lead to a future

<v Speaker 1>tag team match with Becky and Natty against Maxine and AJ.

<v Speaker 1>Could you see it? I can, actually, and it would

<v Speaker 1>make sense after what we saw tonight. Duff fidds I

<v Speaker 1>could never get a good Wi Fi connection on my farm,

<v Speaker 1>so I moved my router to the barn, and now

<v Speaker 1>I get a stable connection, Alex says, brother Solo Jericho

<v Speaker 1>mentioned Sean as one of his biggest rivals. Do you

<v Speaker 1>agree also by Rent selling your favorite Y two JHBK

<v Speaker 1>match No Mercy eight WrestleMania nineteen Unforgiven eight, which was

<v Speaker 1>the one that they played off the eye injury, that

<v Speaker 1>was the Great American bas I was at that one.

<v Speaker 1>Whatever the last Great American Bash show was that they

<v Speaker 1>ever did at the Nasau Coliseum, I was there. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think that's any of those though. No Mercy Oh

<v Speaker 1>eight that was the latter match. I believe I'm going

<v Speaker 1>with the No Mercy Oh eight as the bye and

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go WrestleMania Rent and then Unforgiven cell. As

<v Speaker 1>far as Sean is one of his greatest rivals, absolutely,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know where I would rank him, but he's

<v Speaker 1>absolutely one of his best rivals. That whole like five

<v Speaker 1>or six month feud they had, they came up with

<v Speaker 1>all that on their own. It was never supposed to

<v Speaker 1>be that long, but it was a tremendous story that

<v Speaker 1>they came up with. Prince Begeta says, are we sure

<v Speaker 1>that aj signed full time? Because she's had two matches

<v Speaker 1>since her comeback in November, comes in, has a match

<v Speaker 1>and dips out for three months. Yeah, I mean, I

<v Speaker 1>guess it's all just in your interpretation of full time.

<v Speaker 1>I mean she's she signed a contract. It's clearly not

<v Speaker 1>a full time contract. MGM Ballin with a nine ninety

<v Speaker 1>nine says WBBE. World Blue Ball Entertainment decided on omitting

<v Speaker 1>the word wrestling rather than entertainment, although it is neither

<v Speaker 1>World Blue Ball Entertainment. I don't want to be part

<v Speaker 1>of that organization. We got Barry mcachinner. I think we

<v Speaker 1>get Gunther against Orton with the retirement stipulation of WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>with Orton winning with help from the three ghosts of

<v Speaker 1>Gunther's past retirements. Oh no, did you just will Bill

<v Speaker 1>Goldberg cameo at WrestleMania, into the into the atmosphere? Is

<v Speaker 1>that what you just did? Duff's VIDs. I saw a

<v Speaker 1>documentary about conveyor belts last night. It was it was

<v Speaker 1>very moving, he says, I A bitch, it was very moving.

<v Speaker 1>I bet it was. You have to send send me

<v Speaker 1>the name. I'd like to check it out. Uh. Prince

<v Speaker 1>Pageta says, rank these world champions from bed to rancid,

<v Speaker 1>jay Usso, Jack Swagger, Gender Mahal, great Collie, well, I

<v Speaker 1>mean great Colleie is is rancid. Well we'll go from

<v Speaker 1>the bottom up. How about that, We'll go from worst

<v Speaker 1>to best. Worst Collie is definitely at the bottom of

<v Speaker 1>the list, and then I would go Swagger, and then

<v Speaker 1>I would go jay Uso, and I would actually have

<v Speaker 1>Gender at the top of the bad list, top meaning

<v Speaker 1>the least worst. At least he looked the part like

<v Speaker 1>dude was fucking ripped to shit, jacked up, you know

<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Like, but like you know, he's not

<v Speaker 1>a bad wrestler either. He's not. It's just he should

<v Speaker 1>not have been the world champion at the time. And

<v Speaker 1>it's crazy to me that Shinsky Nakamura was. He was

<v Speaker 1>never the same after that, you know, losing to Gender

<v Speaker 1>of a Hall twice on pay per views that year.

<v Speaker 1>He was never the same. Jeremy Rose, this vision storyline

<v Speaker 1>is giving me who's the devil vibes? Oh, the injuries,

<v Speaker 1>death scythe Also, if Punk and Roman do the obligatory

<v Speaker 1>contract signing, then they should do it. On three sixteen

<v Speaker 1>Day with Steve Austin as the moderator, that could very

<v Speaker 1>well be the plan. I'm sure Austin's going to be

<v Speaker 1>there that day, fucking raw on three sixteen in Texas.

<v Speaker 1>How could he not be? I know he's not living

<v Speaker 1>in Texas at the moment, but still, how can you

<v Speaker 1>not have him on the show? You know, the last

<v Speaker 1>time we did raw on three sixteen day, Austin was

<v Speaker 1>there in front of no people. I legitimately think that

<v Speaker 1>was the week after everything shut down, so they were

<v Speaker 1>at the they were at the performance center, no fans,

<v Speaker 1>and it was It was awful. It was awful, Steve

<v Speaker 1>Austin doing his stick to no fans and just a

<v Speaker 1>bunch of empty chairs. I I don't ever want to

<v Speaker 1>go back to those days. Live laugh, love, Lie mister monster.

<v Speaker 1>I accidentally forgot the sound off was yesterday and I

<v Speaker 1>watched it later than normal. Am I in trouble? Well,

<v Speaker 1>you don't watch it. It's an audio show. That was

<v Speaker 1>your first mistake watching an audio show. But I'll give

<v Speaker 1>you a pass. I'll give you a pass this one time.

<v Speaker 1>Dry Chicken says. The wrestling community has high praise. The

<v Speaker 1>wrestling community has high praise for the Super Bowl halftime show.

<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts on Bad Bunny's performance. I like

<v Speaker 1>Bad Bunny, that's funny. I remember the first time when

<v Speaker 1>I started talking about Bad Bunny. It was when it

<v Speaker 1>was probably before the Damian Preset match. It was a

<v Speaker 1>few years ago, and I didn't know really anything about him.

<v Speaker 1>I said, what kind of fucking name is that? Bad

<v Speaker 1>Bunny calls himselves Bad Bunny. Then he had the match

<v Speaker 1>with Damian Priest, which was one of my favorite matches

<v Speaker 1>of the entire year, and I started getting into his

<v Speaker 1>music and it's great. I got a bunch of his

<v Speaker 1>songs on my playlist. I thought it was great. Guy

<v Speaker 1>knows how to put on a show. Good shit. Blue

<v Speaker 1>Jay says, I am gonna remind you where Russo belongs

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and tnt you do that? You do that? Blue

<v Speaker 1>Jay death Side. A guy said to his therapist, I'm

<v Speaker 1>terrified of the Backstreet Boys, and the therapist says, tell

<v Speaker 1>me why. Duff's vid says, what to ticks, glasses and

<v Speaker 1>the Eiffel Tower have in common? They are Paris sites.

<v Speaker 1>Oh man, you should have ended with the other one

<v Speaker 1>and had this as your previous one. Paris sites. I

<v Speaker 1>gotta do it, I gotta do it. I gotta do it.

<v Speaker 1>Jeremy says, raw wasn't all bad tonight. No bre mode.

<v Speaker 1>Well that's a good point. We did not get any

<v Speaker 1>bre mode on the show tonight. You're right about that. Now.

<v Speaker 1>I believe I am all caught up. And I do

<v Speaker 1>notice now that we are actually doing a double be

<v Speaker 1>the booker. We actually are doing two of them. You

<v Speaker 1>guys hit the other goal, we have the main goal.

<v Speaker 1>We're actually closing it on five hundred and sixty likes.

<v Speaker 1>We could potentially hit six hundred here before we're even done.

<v Speaker 1>Is that possible? Can we do it? Prince Vegeta says

<v Speaker 1>gender also had a banger theme. Yeah, it wasn't bad.

<v Speaker 1>I means better than most of the shit we hear

<v Speaker 1>these days. God only knows what deaf rebel would do

<v Speaker 1>to him. Now, all right, to be the booker, ladies

<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen, It is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>All right. Love seeing two rounds. It means you guys

<v Speaker 1>are engaged, You guys are excited, You guys are ready.

<v Speaker 1>Here we go. All right, we're gonna kick things off

<v Speaker 1>here with the Mean Street posse. If you know who

<v Speaker 1>these three men are, if you can name these three men.

<v Speaker 1>Then your young wrestling fandom was very good and you

<v Speaker 1>had a fun time watching wrestling in the late nineties.

<v Speaker 1>The mean street posse gotta be taken on the Rockers.

<v Speaker 1>Sean Michaels and Marty Jeannetti to the Rockers are great

<v Speaker 1>enough where they can make that match work and actually

<v Speaker 1>make it very I feel like they can make that

<v Speaker 1>a very interesting fun match, right, Pete Gass, Rodney and

<v Speaker 1>Joey Abbs, Mommy is mad, pick a stipulation to make

<v Speaker 1>her happy. Well, we don't want to make Mommy mad,

<v Speaker 1>so we have to pick a stip here for this

<v Speaker 1>women's match, and the stipulation is going to be barroom brawl.

<v Speaker 1>Not the kind of stipulation you would expect for a

<v Speaker 1>women's match, but that is the step nonetheless. So we

<v Speaker 1>have to pick a barroom brawl for the late with

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch. Well, she is the Irish last kicker, so

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure she she can throw back a few guinnesses,

<v Speaker 1>tape up those fists she'll be taking on Medusa. See now,

<v Speaker 1>Medusa is the kind of woman I could see just

<v Speaker 1>kicking all kinds of ass in a bar room brawl.

<v Speaker 1>I'm going with Medusa to win this. By the way,

<v Speaker 1>I don't even think it's going to be close. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know if she still does. But at one point

<v Speaker 1>after she got out of wrest like, she was actually

<v Speaker 1>driving monster trucks for a living. Like what other woman's

<v Speaker 1>wrestler can ever say they've done that fucking monster trucks.

<v Speaker 1>She's already at the best, right, she's already at the bar.

<v Speaker 1>She's been at the bar. She's just waiting for someone

<v Speaker 1>to step out of line. And our main event, we

<v Speaker 1>have the homicidal, genocidal, suicidal Saboo. The late Saboo is

<v Speaker 1>reborn and be the booker, and he will be taking

<v Speaker 1>on the Brooklyn Brawler. Reborn for no reason at all.

<v Speaker 1>He was reborn to be put in the ring with

<v Speaker 1>the Brooklyn Brawler. I thought we could do a little

<v Speaker 1>bit better than that. I mean, this man has arisen

<v Speaker 1>from the grave here, but unfortunately this is the best

<v Speaker 1>we can do. See Brooklyn Brawler and the main event

<v Speaker 1>are two terms that should never go together. All right, Well,

<v Speaker 1>you unlocked two rounds, so we get to do one more.

<v Speaker 1>We get to make up for that awful main event.

<v Speaker 1>Who mentioned Russel before. We have on a pole. Bro.

<v Speaker 1>You see, Bro, We're gonna put a contract on a pole, Bro,

<v Speaker 1>and when you pull the contract down, it's a pink

<v Speaker 1>slip and you fy it. Bro. That's what we do

<v Speaker 1>in It's just wrestling, Bro, It's just wrestling on a pole. Bro. Now,

<v Speaker 1>the only question is what goes on the pole. I'll

<v Speaker 1>let you guys figure that out. We've got Andre the

<v Speaker 1>Giant and Haku. Well, Andre ain't climbing no fucking pole,

<v Speaker 1>so that's gonna be all Haku there. This is by

<v Speaker 1>this point, I mean this version of Andre forget about it.

<v Speaker 1>I mean the fact that he could even stand up

<v Speaker 1>without tipping over was a miracle. Andre and Haku against

<v Speaker 1>the Spirit Squad in a pole match. Oh this is awful.

<v Speaker 1>What an awful match? Terrible? All right, another stipulation here,

<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a casket match. We go from

<v Speaker 1>the pole to the casket. Isn't that the story of life?

<v Speaker 1>A women's casket match. Rowdy, Ronda Rousey is going to

<v Speaker 1>be in this casket match. That's where her career is

<v Speaker 1>at the moment. O great Ronda Rowsey. Oh Man, Ronda

<v Speaker 1>Rousey against the host of the six Feet Under podcast

<v Speaker 1>with her co host the Undertaker. It is Michelle McCool.

<v Speaker 1>This is not going good. This is not going well

<v Speaker 1>at all. How are we feeling about this? I think

<v Speaker 1>I just told you how we're feeling about this. We're

<v Speaker 1>not feeling pretty good. We're not feeling well, and our

<v Speaker 1>main event is going to be Ultimate X. Now, how

<v Speaker 1>do you fuck this up? Right? This is hard to

<v Speaker 1>fuck up. So what we're gonna do here in Ultimate X?

<v Speaker 1>I always forget if it's five or six. We gonna

<v Speaker 1>pick five guys, all right, just five guys, and then

<v Speaker 1>we will see who is going to be hanging from

<v Speaker 1>the cables up above trying to pull down the giant

<v Speaker 1>Red X. It needs to be someone who's limber. It

<v Speaker 1>needs to be someone who's very fleet of foot, someone

<v Speaker 1>who can do a lot of climbing, someone you know,

<v Speaker 1>who preferably is not too large, because you're not going

<v Speaker 1>to find large men in an Ultimate X match. We

<v Speaker 1>don't need Yoko Zuna. For example. In an Ultimate X match,

<v Speaker 1>Orange Cassidy is one of the five. The Rock wants

<v Speaker 1>your soul and your spot, So Orange Cassidy is out

<v Speaker 1>of Ultimate X. The Rock has taken his place. The Rock,

<v Speaker 1>the Final Boss is now in Ultimate mid X. Oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, he wrestled John Cena eleven or twelve years

<v Speaker 1>ago in a straight wrestling match and tore almost every

<v Speaker 1>muscle in his body, and you want to put him

<v Speaker 1>in an Ultimate X match. All right, well we have

<v Speaker 1>the Rock. We Oh wait a minute, now, hold on,

<v Speaker 1>a second. Ultimate X has been wiped away. We have

<v Speaker 1>a new stipulation that has entered the chat. It is

<v Speaker 1>a fatal four way. So the Rock has been spared.

<v Speaker 1>The Rock might just live to fight another day. So

<v Speaker 1>the Rock will now be in a fatal four way match. Wait,

<v Speaker 1>there's so many changes going on here. You would think

<v Speaker 1>Triple H was booking this. All right, we have this

<v Speaker 1>maybe wrestle many of two thousand all over again. So

<v Speaker 1>we have the Rock. We have the Rock. See, this

<v Speaker 1>is what happens when you're on the board. Okay, you

<v Speaker 1>could just book yourself in all four spots. We may

<v Speaker 1>end up with SmackDown Rock, Final Boss Rock, Hollywood Rock.

<v Speaker 1>We may have four different versions of the Rock here

<v Speaker 1>in this match. So the Rock is now in this

<v Speaker 1>match twice. It pays to be the Final Boss. I

<v Speaker 1>guess when you have the power. Now does he pay

<v Speaker 1>himself twice for being in the match twice. Rocky my

<v Speaker 1>Via I don't I don't think I have Rocky my

<v Speaker 1>v in here. I probably should put him in there,

<v Speaker 1>all right, So we have the Rock, we have the Rock,

<v Speaker 1>we have oh, for fuck's sake, oh my god, this

<v Speaker 1>be the booker has gone completely off the rails. Oh god.

<v Speaker 1>We have the Rock, the Rock and Vince Russo.

<v Speaker 2>Bro.

<v Speaker 1>Now we know who's doing the booking here. I think

<v Speaker 1>this actually makes a lot of sense. Now Vince Russo

<v Speaker 1>is in this match. Who is going to be the

<v Speaker 1>fourth man? Do I even want to know? Brett the

<v Speaker 1>Hitman Heart. We have the Rock, the Rock, Vince vincent Man,

<v Speaker 1>Vince Russo, and Brett the Hitman Heart. And as much

<v Speaker 1>as I hesitate to do so, Brett helped put it

<v Speaker 1>over the top. It helps to have the Rock in

<v Speaker 1>there twice, but Brett put it over the top. Brett

<v Speaker 1>will put Russo in the sharpshooter. He will get him

<v Speaker 1>out of the picture very easily, very early on here.

<v Speaker 1>And then we get Brett Hart in the Rock. What's

<v Speaker 1>not to like? Brett Hart and the Rock and the

<v Speaker 1>ring together, come on? Yeah, it's like the Red Pill,

<v Speaker 1>Blue Pill like, I don't want to buzz Brett, but

<v Speaker 1>I also don't want to bell Russo. So the Rock

<v Speaker 1>was the tie breaker. The Rock saved it. Oh Man. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Brett Brett, he really is a lifeline. But at least

<v Speaker 1>now we know who booked this shit. Vince Russo has

<v Speaker 1>struck again. There can be no doubt as to who

<v Speaker 1>booked this, oh Man. Let's get to your final super

<v Speaker 1>chats here, Dried Chicken says four cartoon villains, Cartoon TV villains,

<v Speaker 1>delete one the Shredder, Mamra, Skeletor or Megatron. Megatron is gone.

<v Speaker 1>Goodbye Megatron. Skeletor is my guy. Mommaro was my guy

<v Speaker 1>as a kid with the ThunderCats and the Shredder is

<v Speaker 1>I mean it's the Shredder? Fucking kidding me? Can delete

<v Speaker 1>the Shredder. So Megatron is gone. Goodbye Megatron. Haku and

<v Speaker 1>Andre against the Spirit Squad. The loser has to uh

<v Speaker 1>clean up the kitchen solo Monster's kitchen after the Super

<v Speaker 1>Bowl party that he had. Yeah, I don't need Andre

<v Speaker 1>in my kitchen. He would eat me out of a

<v Speaker 1>house and home, and then even worse after he eats

<v Speaker 1>me out of house and home, He'll have to relieve

<v Speaker 1>himself and then I'm going to have a big plumbing issue.

<v Speaker 1>I've already had plumbing issues in the last few months.

<v Speaker 1>I don't need Andre giving me more death size, says

<v Speaker 1>as a dig punk should mention at least I wanted

<v Speaker 1>Seth and Dean in the Shield. But I also wanted

<v Speaker 1>Chris Hero in the group, not you romea people in

<v Speaker 1>the crab be like who Chris who? They would have

<v Speaker 1>no idea who he was talking about? And Devin. Why

<v Speaker 1>did Brock lose his first match back in twenty twelve

<v Speaker 1>as well as his wrestlemanni a twenty nine match against

<v Speaker 1>Triple H? Was WWE testing him to see if he

<v Speaker 1>would be a team player. I mean that could have

<v Speaker 1>been part of it, but I mean it was Triple H.

<v Speaker 1>So do you even really need to ask, would he

<v Speaker 1>why would he beat? You know, why would he lose

<v Speaker 1>to Triple H? What do you think the first match?

<v Speaker 1>I think was more of a test. I think the

<v Speaker 1>first match was more of a test. And I think

<v Speaker 1>it was also like maybe they just didn't know how

<v Speaker 1>the relationship was going to go or how long it

<v Speaker 1>would be, so they just really wanted to make sure

<v Speaker 1>they got their top guy being seen a win, you know,

<v Speaker 1>because it was a credibility boost for him. It was

<v Speaker 1>a shot in the arm. Hey, he just beat someone. Legit, right.

<v Speaker 1>We don't know if Brocks in it for the long haul,

<v Speaker 1>but at least let's get him in there and we

<v Speaker 1>can get seen a win. But it was very stupid.

<v Speaker 1>I said it at the time. It's not even like well,

<v Speaker 1>in hindsight, no, it was stupid to beat him in

<v Speaker 1>his first match. Have I seen the Dexter TV show?

<v Speaker 1>I have not. I have not, although I've heard good

<v Speaker 1>things about this. What is it a sequel a prequel?

<v Speaker 1>I know what it is, heard good things about it,

<v Speaker 1>and let me just check here and make sure I

<v Speaker 1>could actually see these member chats. Thing has been pushed

<v Speaker 1>down here. Try to get to a few of them

<v Speaker 1>at least. Oh, I got to thank Anobe. By the way,

<v Speaker 1>Anobe actually gifted five memberships tonight, all in one shot

<v Speaker 1>because he's awesome. Thank you Anobe and bred Hart. Forty

<v Speaker 1>seven months not looking forward to WrestleMania, just entrances and

<v Speaker 1>video packages with mostly mid matches and inconsequential story twists

<v Speaker 1>made just four moments. We are in the Aura Farming

<v Speaker 1>era of WWE. That is what we are in cidra.

<v Speaker 1>Why did the coffee file a police report? It got

<v Speaker 1>mugged and I was trying to find impostor in the dictionary.

<v Speaker 1>It was next to impossible. It was next oh my,

<v Speaker 1>it was next to impossible. We see. I put that

<v Speaker 1>up there with the Dufts one from earlier. I think

<v Speaker 1>that was your crown jewel here for tonight retro Koah,

<v Speaker 1>imagine having the tag team lineup they have or had

<v Speaker 1>and squandering it this badly. What a joke. Yeah, it's

<v Speaker 1>pretty sad. Solo. Any movies old or new that you

<v Speaker 1>want to see this year, Yeah, a bunch of them. Actually,

<v Speaker 1>I am planning. I mean, look, Scream that you scream

<v Speaker 1>Scream seven is coming out in what two weeks, less

<v Speaker 1>than two weeks. I'd like to see that. I'm hoping

<v Speaker 1>I could find time to see that. I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>following week maybe, I don't know. I'm gonna be going

<v Speaker 1>to Chicago, so I'm hoping to see that one. I'm

<v Speaker 1>definitely gonna want to see the Street Fighter movie, the

<v Speaker 1>Masters of the Universe movie, and the Mortal Kombat movie.

<v Speaker 1>So at the very least I would like to see those.

<v Speaker 1>Got around to watching Thunderbolts F four and Predator bad Lands.

<v Speaker 1>Bad Lands was really good. Anybody see that new movie

<v Speaker 1>that came out with Dave Batista and Jason Momoa. Is

<v Speaker 1>that worth seeing? I didn't see any reviews for it,

<v Speaker 1>but I saw that it came out. I think I

<v Speaker 1>like Amazon Prime or something. Toy Story five. There's no

<v Speaker 1>Toy Story five. They ended it with Toy Story four.

<v Speaker 1>I thought they said that was gonna be it. I

<v Speaker 1>do miss Toy Story though. They really should have ended

<v Speaker 1>with part three for being honest. But who's my favorite

<v Speaker 1>X Men member? Probably Wolverine or Storm. Toy Story two

<v Speaker 1>is the best toy Story. It's a great one. I

<v Speaker 1>can't disagree. I really enjoyed the first one, but the

<v Speaker 1>second one is quite great. Wow, so there is a five.

<v Speaker 1>There is a Toy Story five coming out this summer. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I may have to add that to my list. Then

<v Speaker 1>the mount Vernon kid says you should check out Zootopia

<v Speaker 1>solo is Zutopia to the one that has the Zebras

<v Speaker 1>with Roman and Punk? Are they in the second one?

<v Speaker 1>Have I ever seen an Avengers movie? I saw the

<v Speaker 1>first one. I did see the first one? Oh toys

<v Speaker 1>versus Tablets? Oh okay, yes, I did hear something about

<v Speaker 1>that that could be funny. I guess it's all about

<v Speaker 1>making money, that's all it is. If they think they

<v Speaker 1>can make money off of it, they'll they'll make another

<v Speaker 1>fifteen of them. If they think they can make money

<v Speaker 1>off of it. Story be damned. I've ever seen John

<v Speaker 1>Carpenter's Vampires movie, the one with James Woods, Yes, yes,

<v Speaker 1>I did. I enjoyed it. Z Bros. Or some stupid

<v Speaker 1>shit like that. Uh. Yeah, The Expendable I saw the

<v Speaker 1>first Expendables movie. I don't know how many of they

<v Speaker 1>ended up doing. I did. I saw the first one.

<v Speaker 1>When the first one came out. It was a big

<v Speaker 1>deal because of all the different names and the cameos

<v Speaker 1>in there. What did you think of Send Help? I

<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I think I had a

<v Speaker 1>I thought it was gonna be different or go in

<v Speaker 1>a different direction. But I enjoyed it. For d X

<v Speaker 1>not so much. I don't know that I would do

<v Speaker 1>that again. That was not really necessary for a movie

<v Speaker 1>like that, but but I thought it was good. Was

<v Speaker 1>I a fan of Beverly Hills Cop Yes, part one

<v Speaker 1>and part two, Part three not so much. And then

<v Speaker 1>the newer one that came out in the last couple

<v Speaker 1>of years. I saw that one too, but the first

<v Speaker 1>two were the best. Hayworth six' two. Three The Resident
