<v Speaker 1>You know, Tomorrow night is the Elimination Chamber and I

<v Speaker 1>expect that both Chamber matches tomorrow are going to be

<v Speaker 1>very good. You know, last year we had the women's

<v Speaker 1>Elimination Chamber match. I thought it was the best one

<v Speaker 1>that they've ever done with the women. And you look

<v Speaker 1>at the lineup of talent that they have in both

<v Speaker 1>of these matches, I think it would be hard for

<v Speaker 1>them to go in there and have bad matches tomorrow.

<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure the matches themselves are going to deliver,

<v Speaker 1>but they have not been helped by anything that WWE

<v Speaker 1>has done to get them there. I can't really say

<v Speaker 1>the WWE has done a whole hell of a lot

<v Speaker 1>to inspire excitement around these Elimination Chamber matches. But the

<v Speaker 1>talent will go out tomorrow night, the talent will do

<v Speaker 1>with the talent usually does. They'll go in there and

<v Speaker 1>they'll deliver. We had a change to the Elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>tonight on the men's side. Now, if we go back

<v Speaker 1>to Raw Monday night, we had one last quotqualifying match.

<v Speaker 1>It was jay Uso, Bronson Reed and El Grande Americano

<v Speaker 1>that was going to fill the final spot in the

<v Speaker 1>men's Chamber match. We now know that it was supposed

<v Speaker 1>to be Bronson Reid. He got hurt, torn by step

<v Speaker 1>he's gone. Jay Usso got the win, yee, and so

<v Speaker 1>jay Usso was going to be one of many babyfaces

<v Speaker 1>in this match. Trick Williams was really the only heel

<v Speaker 1>that was slotted into the men's elimination chamber match, and

<v Speaker 1>you could barely call him that because every time he

<v Speaker 1>comes out the fans cheer for him. Now there's talk

<v Speaker 1>to WWE is thinking about turning him babyface, which would

<v Speaker 1>be the worst fucking thing they could do. Don't do anything.

<v Speaker 1>Leave him alone, let him get out, get let him

<v Speaker 1>get over organically. The last thing we need is for

<v Speaker 1>w W WED is our pushing him as a fucking babyface,

<v Speaker 1>So don't fuck with that. But it threw their plans

<v Speaker 1>into a bit of chaos here because they wanted the

<v Speaker 1>vision in the chamber and now they had jay Uso

<v Speaker 1>in there, and that changed everything. And so tonight SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>came on the air with yet another mystery angle. Now,

<v Speaker 1>at least this one was something that they had to

<v Speaker 1>come up with at the last minute to try to

<v Speaker 1>get things back in order. But It was not lost

<v Speaker 1>on me that here we are again with Paul Levec

<v Speaker 1>doing yet another mystery angle at a time where we

<v Speaker 1>have a massd man, a mysterious mass man running around,

<v Speaker 1>and we have the crate that's going to be opened

<v Speaker 1>at the Elimination Chamber tomorrow. We have yet another mystery man,

<v Speaker 1>but he was taken out by somebody, and we did

<v Speaker 1>not find out yet who that person was. Maybe we will,

<v Speaker 1>maybe we won't. I wonder if the implication here is

<v Speaker 1>that the same person who took out Jacob Fatu all

<v Speaker 1>those months ago, who he still believes was Drew McIntyre,

<v Speaker 1>is going to end up being revealed as the same

<v Speaker 1>person who took out jay Uso from the Elimination Chamber match.

<v Speaker 1>We shall see on that if that's ends up panning

<v Speaker 1>out that way. But you know, I was wondering, like, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>what are they gonna do here? It was a hot

<v Speaker 1>angle to start the show, Chaos and ambulance in the

<v Speaker 1>back and everyone's freaking out, like what's going on here? Right?

<v Speaker 1>It was a hot way to start the show, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking like, what are they gonna do here? And

<v Speaker 1>somebody on the line they tweeted me with the suggestion

<v Speaker 1>that perhaps Nick Aldos would force Drew McIntyre to put

<v Speaker 1>his WWE championship on the line inside the chamber. And

<v Speaker 1>I was very intrigued by this idea because it's not

<v Speaker 1>as if we haven't had elimination chamber matches in the

<v Speaker 1>past where the championship was being defended. I mean, we've

<v Speaker 1>had that multiple times. So the more I thought about it,

<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know what.

<v Speaker 2>I like that idea.

<v Speaker 1>I like that idea a lot. Because you still have

<v Speaker 1>seven weeks left to build to wrestle Mania, A lot

<v Speaker 1>of different things can happen as far as how do

<v Speaker 1>you crown a new number? One can tender for the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Championship of WrestleMania, presumably on Night one, and it

<v Speaker 1>can make the next seven weeks of television that much

<v Speaker 1>more interesting. Unfortunately, they did not go in that direction tonight,

<v Speaker 1>and so what we ended up with was a match

<v Speaker 1>between Jacob Fatu and Logan Paul. Because the vision showed up,

<v Speaker 1>or I should say, what's left.

<v Speaker 2>Of the vision.

<v Speaker 1>The vision is more or less no more. The vision

<v Speaker 1>is a tag team. Now the vision is Logan Paul.

<v Speaker 1>In Austin theory, there is no vision the vision is obscured,

<v Speaker 1>the vision is blurry. But we had Logan Paul against

<v Speaker 1>Jacob Fatu in the main event tonight and they went

<v Speaker 1>with I guess what should have been the obvious outcome here,

<v Speaker 1>which is they basically just substituted one Vision member for another.

<v Speaker 1>Instead of Bronson Reid going to the elimination chamber as

<v Speaker 1>was rumored to be the original plan, it is going

<v Speaker 1>to be Logan Paul where I presume the real mass

<v Speaker 1>Man is going to show up and end up costing

<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul his shot to go to WrestleMania to compete

<v Speaker 1>for the WI Championship. And if you're wondering what I

<v Speaker 1>mean when I say the real mass Man, because we

<v Speaker 1>had the masked Man unmasked during the main event tonight,

<v Speaker 1>would you like to see who the masked man was

<v Speaker 1>that we are led to believe has been running around

<v Speaker 1>now for months, weeks and weeks and weeks. Here is

<v Speaker 1>the masked man, everybody the mass Man was. I have

<v Speaker 1>no fucking idea. It's a guy, just a guy. You

<v Speaker 1>might call him the decoy. Clearly, if we are going

<v Speaker 1>to get a reveal at the end of all this,

<v Speaker 1>this will not be the mass Man. Seth Rollins will

<v Speaker 1>be the mass Man, that is, of course, if they

<v Speaker 1>are even going to give us a reveal of who

<v Speaker 1>the mass Man really is, because part of me does

<v Speaker 1>wonder in light of how just absolutely unlucky the vision

<v Speaker 1>has been, then how this group has falled apart, if

<v Speaker 1>maybe this was their way of just writing off this

<v Speaker 1>dumb angle tonight, you know what. I don't think it is,

<v Speaker 1>But honestly, I wouldn't be mad. Seriously, I would not

<v Speaker 1>be mad if it was, because this mass Man angle

<v Speaker 1>at this point.

<v Speaker 2>Is just a lost cause.

<v Speaker 1>More likely, though than not, we will get the actual

<v Speaker 1>revealed tomorrow with the elimination chamber. I presume it will

<v Speaker 1>end up being Seth Rawlins, So we shall see. But yes,

<v Speaker 1>if you believe that that was the actual mass Man,

<v Speaker 1>don't a lot of very confused people when including Joe

<v Speaker 1>Tessitour on commentary when the mask came off? Can you

<v Speaker 1>imagine that was the guy?

<v Speaker 2>Though?

<v Speaker 1>Just some random guy who's been running around for weeks?

<v Speaker 1>Everyone's like, oh boy, what big name is the mass Man?

<v Speaker 1>And they take the mask off and it's some like

<v Speaker 1>indie guy who is just trying to catch a break,

<v Speaker 1>you know, what I mean, like, hey, you do what

<v Speaker 1>you got to do to get noticed.

<v Speaker 2>I guess right.

<v Speaker 1>One thing that is very clear to me from watching

<v Speaker 1>this Maine event tonight, Jacob fontu is going to be

<v Speaker 1>wrestling for the WWE Championship or wrestle That's the one

<v Speaker 1>really big positive to come out of what they did

<v Speaker 1>in the main event tonight because Jacob fought Tou lost

<v Speaker 1>that match because he got blasted in the head by

<v Speaker 1>Drew McIntyre with the WWE title. Drew McIntyre, who had

<v Speaker 1>been thrown out of the building, ejected out of the building,

<v Speaker 1>escorted out of the building earlier in the show by

<v Speaker 1>Nick Oldis. He wasn't even supposed to be there. This

<v Speaker 1>is the second time now that Drew McIntyre has fucked

<v Speaker 1>Jacob Fought Two out of a spot in the elimination

<v Speaker 1>chamber and has screwed him out of the chance to

<v Speaker 1>go to WrestleMania to wrestle for the championship. There's no

<v Speaker 1>way at this point that Nick Aldis does not at

<v Speaker 1>some point between now and WrestleMania, in the build up

<v Speaker 1>to that show, give Jacob fought to the opportunity at

<v Speaker 1>least to earn his way into the WWE title match,

<v Speaker 1>because I believe Cody Rose will win the Chamber tomorrow,

<v Speaker 1>but Jacob fought two is going to end up in

<v Speaker 1>that match. If not a fatal four way, we are

<v Speaker 1>going to get a triple threat match of that. I

<v Speaker 1>am convinced after what we saw in the main event tonight.

<v Speaker 1>And that's a good thing, because ain't nobody want to

<v Speaker 1>see Cody Rose and Drew McIntyre one on one for

<v Speaker 1>the WWE Championship. Not after we have seen it time

<v Speaker 1>and time and time and time again. We saw it

<v Speaker 1>in three Stages of hell. We have seen it multiple times.

<v Speaker 1>At this point, that cannot be the main event of

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania Night one. So Jacob Fatu in defeat, I believe

<v Speaker 1>uh punched his ticket to the WrestleMania title match. How

<v Speaker 1>he gets there, of course, we'll have to watch the

<v Speaker 1>show and we'll have to wait and see. But he's

<v Speaker 1>been screwed twice now, so if anybody deserves some justice here,

<v Speaker 1>it is Jacob Fatu. But in addition to that, we

<v Speaker 1>have new women's tag team champions Naya Jacks and Lash Legend.

<v Speaker 1>They call themselves now the Irresistible Forces beat Rhea Ripley

<v Speaker 1>and EO Sky to win the Women's tag team titles

<v Speaker 1>in what I thought was a pretty good match. And honestly,

<v Speaker 1>nobody is happier than I because it means that rear

<v Speaker 1>Riley and I hope EO Sky will end up having

<v Speaker 1>other roles singles, rolls on the WrestleMania card. I'm a

<v Speaker 1>little less sure of where Eo goes from here unless

<v Speaker 1>the idea is to put her in the ring with

<v Speaker 1>Julia for a US title match. But Rhea Ripley losing

<v Speaker 1>the tag team titles tonight clearly now paves the way

<v Speaker 1>for her to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's

<v Speaker 1>Championship of WrestleMania. They you know, when you look at

<v Speaker 1>the matches that they could have done. I am certain

<v Speaker 1>that had she been able to come back earlier, the

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania match was going to be Bianca Belair against Jade Cargill.

<v Speaker 1>And when it became clear that Bianca bell Air was

<v Speaker 1>not going to make it back in time for WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>the next logical choice you would think, in terms of

<v Speaker 1>name value, in terms of big stars that you can

<v Speaker 1>put in the ring with Jade would have been Charlotte Flair.

<v Speaker 1>When Charlotte Flair was eliminated and did not qualify for

<v Speaker 1>Thelmai Nation Chamber, I predicted that Hey, Alexa Bliss will

<v Speaker 1>win the Elimination Chamber and then they will find a

<v Speaker 1>way to get Charlotte Flair in that match and we'll

<v Speaker 1>get a triple threat match of WrestleMania. Right, It's not

<v Speaker 1>what would be the first time that Charlotte Flair worked

<v Speaker 1>her way into a match to make it a triple

<v Speaker 1>thread at WrestleMania. But then I watched the show tennight

<v Speaker 1>and we got yet another teas of Rhea Ripley and

<v Speaker 1>Jade Cargill, another run in in the backstage area, and

<v Speaker 1>then a few segments later, Rhea Ripley loses her tag

<v Speaker 1>Team championship. She is no longer shackled to the tag

<v Speaker 1>team titles, and she is one of six in the

<v Speaker 1>Elimination Chamber tomorrow. So you put two and two together,

<v Speaker 1>and what is the next you know, outside of the

<v Speaker 1>people that we already know are not facing Jade, what

<v Speaker 1>is the biggest possible match they could do with Jade

<v Speaker 1>car Gill of WrestleMania, Jade Cargill and Rio Ripley the

<v Speaker 1>woman who apparently has the highest score, the highest ranking

<v Speaker 1>in all of WWE two K twenty six. I think

<v Speaker 1>she is ranked head and shoulders above everybody, certainly on

<v Speaker 1>the women's side, but I think overall is that what

<v Speaker 1>I read that Rhea has the biggest score, I think

<v Speaker 1>even higher than Roman reigns, which makes sense because Roman

<v Speaker 1>only wrestles five times a year, so I mean Ria

<v Speaker 1>is there every week. So yes, Ria Ripley and Jade

<v Speaker 1>car Gill. It seems very likely that that is going

<v Speaker 1>to be the title match of WrestleMania. As far as

<v Speaker 1>the rest of this show, the rest of the show

<v Speaker 1>is not great, but it wasn't raw, and that is

<v Speaker 1>honestly the best compliment I can pay this episode of SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>At least it wasn't that pile of shit that was

<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Raw. Outside of the AJ style stuff pile

<v Speaker 1>of shit that we got on Monday Night, the worst

<v Speaker 1>raw of the entire year on Monday, this was not

<v Speaker 1>as bad as that. Although there were large stretches of

<v Speaker 1>this show where I was very bored. This was one

<v Speaker 1>of those nights where the show is three hours and

<v Speaker 1>you feel it when the show is on and they

<v Speaker 1>have enough spread out that's really really good. You don't

<v Speaker 1>feel the three hour much. Tonight was not one of

<v Speaker 1>those nights. Tonight it felt every bit of three hours,

<v Speaker 1>like this could have been a two hour show. So

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say that the show was great,

<v Speaker 1>but it had its moments. Like I said, the Women's

<v Speaker 1>tag team title match, I thought was pretty good. We

<v Speaker 1>got a US title open challenge with Carmelo Hayes and

<v Speaker 1>Matt Cardona. It was not the kind of knockdown drag

<v Speaker 1>at we've seen him have with people in the past,

<v Speaker 1>like Ray Phoenix or Iliya Dragonov, but I thought it

<v Speaker 1>was a solid enough match they did. Unfortunately, have you

<v Speaker 1>know what. I can't even say that the match itself

<v Speaker 1>was terrible, but we had a match between Uncle Howdie

<v Speaker 1>and Solo Socoa that had a clean, decisive finish that

<v Speaker 1>would lead you to believe, with him getting the lantern back,

<v Speaker 1>that this is the end of the Wyatt six and

<v Speaker 1>the MFTs, And yet Triple H is continuing this story.

<v Speaker 1>Paul Levec is dragging this out seemingly until WrestleMania. They

<v Speaker 1>are completely devoid of any ideas when it comes to

<v Speaker 1>the tag team division. Here on Friday Night SmackDown so

<v Speaker 1>much so that they are going to unnecessarily drag this

<v Speaker 1>out and extend this out, even though we got the

<v Speaker 1>resolution tonight that we needed to this feud, a feud

<v Speaker 1>that nobody asked for, a feud that is actively dragging

<v Speaker 1>both groups and dragging this show down into the abyss.

<v Speaker 1>That was the worst thing on the entire show. Now

<v Speaker 1>we had some news as well. They announced tonight that WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>of course two nights as usual, the first night of wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>First of all, both knights of WrestleMania are kicking off

<v Speaker 1>at six pm Eastern time, which I don't remember what

<v Speaker 1>it was last year, Maybe it was six Last year,

<v Speaker 1>I thought it was seven six pm Eastern start time

<v Speaker 1>for both nights of WrestleMania. This year, WrestleMania is Saturday.

<v Speaker 1>The first hour of the show, and addition, of course

<v Speaker 1>to airing on the ESPN app or ESPN Unlimited, whatever

<v Speaker 1>it is, the first hour of Night one is going

<v Speaker 1>to be I guess simulcast on ESPN two. The first

<v Speaker 1>hour of WrestleMania Sunday is going to be simulcast live

<v Speaker 1>on the main ESPN channel. So for the first time ever,

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania will technically be airing on ESPN. It's only the

<v Speaker 1>first hour of Night two, but it is airing on ESPN,

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know how that's going to work in

<v Speaker 1>terms of commercial breaks or anything like that. But that

<v Speaker 1>was some news that they dropped on us during the

<v Speaker 1>show tonight. I just want to I just want to

<v Speaker 1>put this guy's face on the screen one more time.

<v Speaker 1>If somebody recognizes him. I don't know, maybe he's from

<v Speaker 1>Evolve or someone at the Performance Center. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>who this guy is. He looks like a wrestler. He's

<v Speaker 1>got the green hair, he looks exasperated. This this is

<v Speaker 1>a funny image here. You know, this image reminds me

<v Speaker 1>of remember that episode of Raw where d Angle was

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with Triple H. I think this was

<v Speaker 1>during the period where Kurd Angle was the Raw GM

<v Speaker 1>and he made that very same face with the puffed

<v Speaker 1>out cheeks and then Triple H punched him in the face.

<v Speaker 1>That's what this reminds me of. He looks like a guy.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, what am I doing here? He's like, you're

<v Speaker 1>probably wondering how I ended.

<v Speaker 2>Up in this situation. Anyway, this is.

<v Speaker 1>Your Friday Night SmackDown review on the eve of Elimination Chamber.

<v Speaker 1>It is February twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. I am

<v Speaker 1>the solemn monster. That is Tiffany's new boyfriend. I don't

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's isn't her new boyfriend Egyptian? That

<v Speaker 1>doesn't look like him? I don't know about that, but anyway, Yes,

<v Speaker 1>this is your your pre Elimination Chamber SmackDown review. Like

<v Speaker 1>and subscribe super chats are open. I do appreciate how

<v Speaker 1>like the scene a ten team man. See now there's

<v Speaker 1>agm or ring the fucking bell Sye, that guy right

<v Speaker 1>there that is an authority figure that gets things done,

<v Speaker 1>unlike Nick Aldis, who cannot even have his champions defending

<v Speaker 1>their titles in a timely fashion. Do you realize that

<v Speaker 1>it took Jade Cargill one hundred days before she defended

<v Speaker 1>her Women's championship for the first time, And then tonight

<v Speaker 1>he's admonishing the mft's backstage because, oh, you haven't had

<v Speaker 1>a tag team title defense in a while. How about never?

<v Speaker 1>We're closing in on forty days of no tag team

<v Speaker 1>title matches, were getting teams down the stream? He doesn't

<v Speaker 1>know how to lay down the low. Every week he's

<v Speaker 1>telling Drew McIntyre leave the building, but he sneaks back in,

<v Speaker 1>completely ineffective and impotent as the general manager of this show.

<v Speaker 1>But yes, super chats are open, so get them on

<v Speaker 1>and we have a bonus goal going here where if

<v Speaker 1>we hit it, we will do an intergender round of

<v Speaker 1>Be the Booker tonight. She is always very interesting, speaking

<v Speaker 1>of which I should let you know. I am in

<v Speaker 1>the middle of refreshing Be the Booker, and I have

<v Speaker 1>made updates to Men's Be the Booker. I did not

<v Speaker 1>have time to get to the rest yet, but I

<v Speaker 1>am working my way through. So we have a new

<v Speaker 1>and improved Men's Be the Booker if we end up

<v Speaker 1>doing it tonight, which it's looking pretty good so far.

<v Speaker 1>But get those likes up. Actually, we're gonna spin the

<v Speaker 1>wheel right now and find out what the goal is

<v Speaker 1>here to do be the Booker. Little thing we do

<v Speaker 1>here at the beginning, ooh oh, we got a very

<v Speaker 1>ambitious goal tonight, five hundred likes to do be the Booker.

<v Speaker 1>Where are we right now? To sixty six? We got

<v Speaker 1>some work to do. We got some work to do.

<v Speaker 1>Five hundred likes if you guys want to be the

<v Speaker 1>booker tonight, so get those likes up. And also I

<v Speaker 1>will just remind you as many of you I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>are a where tomorrow night I will be live on

<v Speaker 1>YouTube for the Elimination Chamber review What's in the Box?

<v Speaker 1>We'll find out what's in this stupid crate or who

<v Speaker 1>is in this stupid crate tomorrow night, so you get

<v Speaker 1>a bonus podcast. And then of course sound Off episode

<v Speaker 1>nine to fifty three coming up on Sunday, so you

<v Speaker 1>get a lot of me. I guess I'm doing a

<v Speaker 1>show every day, every night, every day between now and Wednesday,

<v Speaker 1>every day until Wednesday, including two on Tuesday. I will

<v Speaker 1>not be here next Friday, though, so just be aware

<v Speaker 1>of that. I will be in Chicago for House of Glory,

<v Speaker 1>so last then review here for a couple of weeks.

<v Speaker 1>But let's get into this show, shall we. Let's talk

<v Speaker 1>about the chaotic open to this show. It started hot.

<v Speaker 1>It started so promising because we had a cold open

<v Speaker 1>and we had chaos in the back with an ambulance

<v Speaker 1>and an unconscious Jay Usso being loaded into the back

<v Speaker 1>of the ambulance. We don't know what happened to him?

<v Speaker 1>Nick All, this is there, Cody Rhoades is wondering what

<v Speaker 1>happened here. Jacob Fatto is pest is all hell. He's

<v Speaker 1>going to go with his fellow Bloodline member here and

<v Speaker 1>he gets into the back of the ambulance. Javon Evans

<v Speaker 1>is there, Trick Williams is there. Everyone's wondering what's going

<v Speaker 1>on here. So then we hear in the arena, we

<v Speaker 1>hear someone saying four letters, one word, uh huh, Drew,

<v Speaker 1>and it is our WWEE champion, Drew McIntyre who is

<v Speaker 1>making his way through the crowd on his way to

<v Speaker 1>the ring. And as he did with the attack on

<v Speaker 1>Jacob fat too many months ago, he's insisting he had

<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with what happened to Jay Uso tonight.

<v Speaker 1>He hopped the barricade, he got into the ring and

<v Speaker 1>he talked about I'm here to check out my competition

<v Speaker 1>here for the elimination chamber. So out comes Nick All. This,

<v Speaker 1>he's got security with him, and he recalled telling McIntyre

<v Speaker 1>not to get involved. He told McIntyre to go to

<v Speaker 1>his office because there were twenty wrestlers backstage who wanted

<v Speaker 1>to tear him apart, and he's inclined to let them

<v Speaker 1>do it. Cody Rhoades made his entrance and at that

<v Speaker 1>point Drew decided to leave the ring and hop the

<v Speaker 1>barricade and leave from whence he came and Cody wanted

<v Speaker 1>to fight McIntire. Te's fighting him, and then he asked

<v Speaker 1>him why should he He said that all this told

<v Speaker 1>him to leave, so he was going to leave, and

<v Speaker 1>Cody said the McIntyre's entire title run has been spent

<v Speaker 1>running like a little bitch. Cody recalled mc and saying

<v Speaker 1>that there would be no rematches, and he started to

<v Speaker 1>talk about winning the elimination Chamber tomorrow and getting his

<v Speaker 1>title shot, but he was interrupted by Randy Orton's music.

<v Speaker 1>Orton was all fired up, said that what happened to

<v Speaker 1>Jay Usso sucked and he felt bad for him, but

<v Speaker 1>his only concern was winning the chamber and beating McIntyre

<v Speaker 1>for his fifteenth World Championship at WrestleMania. So he got

<v Speaker 1>into the ring, he started to address Cody and he

<v Speaker 1>got cut off by Trick Willie's music. Trick Williams made

<v Speaker 1>his way out, he said, Bruno Mars shouted him out.

<v Speaker 1>On his new album that dropped today. I did not

<v Speaker 1>know that Bruno Mars had a new album that dropped today,

<v Speaker 1>so I guess let me know if there's anything worth

<v Speaker 1>listening to on there. He was about to talk about

<v Speaker 1>his Lemon Peppa steps, but before he could even talk

<v Speaker 1>about them, he was cut off by Javon Evans music.

<v Speaker 1>Javon blew right past him on his way into the

<v Speaker 1>ring to join Orton and Cody. Evan said that he

<v Speaker 1>was there to win the chamber and to beat Randy

<v Speaker 1>Orton's record as the youngest world champion. And it is

<v Speaker 1>very uh, it's pretty funny when you realize that the

<v Speaker 1>only reason that Randy Orton became the youngest world heavyweight

<v Speaker 1>champion is because they wanted someone to beat brock Lesner's record.

<v Speaker 1>Because the year that Orton won the title from Bob

<v Speaker 1>Holly at SummerSlam and became the world heavyweight champion, that

<v Speaker 1>was the year that brock Lesner decided, I don't want

<v Speaker 1>to do this no more and he left. And that

<v Speaker 1>had a lot of people hot because they strapped the

<v Speaker 1>rocket the racket, the rocket to him and the racket too.

<v Speaker 1>They strapped the rocket to him and then he just

<v Speaker 1>up and left. So they were like, you know what,

<v Speaker 1>we don't want to refer to brock Lesner as the

<v Speaker 1>youngest world heavyweight champion. We want Randy Orton to usurp

<v Speaker 1>him and he will be the new youngest champion.

<v Speaker 2>So there you go.

<v Speaker 1>That's why he won the belt at Summer Slam in

<v Speaker 1>O four. So La Night comes out and he gets

<v Speaker 1>in the ring to join the party. Knight said that

<v Speaker 1>he was hearing a lot of things, but everybody in

<v Speaker 1>the chamber belonged to him, and that meant that Drew

<v Speaker 1>McIntyre's title would belong to him. So Williams cut in

<v Speaker 1>on Knight's He was about to do his catchphrase what

<v Speaker 1>everybody's saying, and he got interrupted by Trick Williams, who said,

<v Speaker 1>you know, whooped that trick? And Knight said, h what

<v Speaker 1>was that again? You said whoop that trick? And he

<v Speaker 1>said yeah, he goes okay and he whooped that trick

<v Speaker 1>and he punched him in the face. So this led

<v Speaker 1>to Knight and Williams. They brawl to the back Cody

<v Speaker 1>Javon Orton. They were looking on and Randy Orton dropped

<v Speaker 1>Javon Evans with an RKO. So we were left with

<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhodes Randy Orton, a tent stare down here between

<v Speaker 1>the two, and ultimately Orton left the ring and that

<v Speaker 1>was how the said came to a close. So a

<v Speaker 1>hot start to the show. Another fucking mystery angle, you know,

<v Speaker 1>with jay Usso. But it was something that they had

<v Speaker 1>to do because you know, look, they had to pivot

<v Speaker 1>it's usually their favorite word here and get somebody else

<v Speaker 1>in the match because jay Uso was not meant to

<v Speaker 1>be in the Elimination Chamber match. And I got news

<v Speaker 1>for you. I'm not heartbroken about jay Uso not being

<v Speaker 1>in the Elimination Chamber, and not just because of the

<v Speaker 1>yeat shit, but because you know, I want there to

<v Speaker 1>be at least some plausible believability to the people who

<v Speaker 1>are in the chamber match. That's when the Chamber is

<v Speaker 1>at its best, when you can look at it and go, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>this guy could win and that guy could win. And look,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying Trick Williams realistically is gonna win the

<v Speaker 1>Elimination Chamber. But jay Uso is not winning the Elimination Chamber.

<v Speaker 1>It's a waste of a spot. He is one half

<v Speaker 1>of the tag team Champions. He does not need to

<v Speaker 1>be in the elimination Chamber match, and the only reason

<v Speaker 1>he was was because of an injury. So find a

<v Speaker 1>way to bounce out. This is what they came up with.

<v Speaker 1>They had a few days to come up with a

<v Speaker 1>plan B. This was their plan B. The backstage, as

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany Stratton was being interviewed, Osca interrupted her. Both women

<v Speaker 1>are in the elimination Chamber tomorrow night, and we ended

<v Speaker 1>up with a match that was made between the two

<v Speaker 1>of them. Four later in the show. That led into

<v Speaker 1>our opening contest, which was are you ready for this?

<v Speaker 1>Solo's Sokoa against Uncle Howdy, both men leaving their respective

<v Speaker 1>families in the back, so it was just one on one.

<v Speaker 1>Solo motioned towards the lantern before we got a test

<v Speaker 1>of strength between the two of them. Howd he tried

<v Speaker 1>for a sister Abigail. Solo rolled out of the ring

<v Speaker 1>and it ringside. Solo missed a Samoan spike and he

<v Speaker 1>spiked the post with his thumb. Now, this was not

<v Speaker 1>a Mark Davis situation from Dynamite Life last week where

<v Speaker 1>he punched the post and busted his hand open and

<v Speaker 1>was bleeding all over the place, but he did. He

<v Speaker 1>did miss uncle.

<v Speaker 2>How to hear?

<v Speaker 1>And he spiked the post instead. Back inside. How he

<v Speaker 1>got thrown hard into the middle turn buckle that put

<v Speaker 1>him out of commission for a bit, long enough for

<v Speaker 1>them to sneak in a commercial break. We came back.

<v Speaker 1>HOWD he was back in the ring trying to mount

<v Speaker 1>to come back, he fell victim to a Samoan drop.

<v Speaker 1>I just love we have a Samoan drop. We have

<v Speaker 1>a Samoan spike. We have a Samoan splash. Am I

<v Speaker 1>missing any other Samoan moves here? I feel like I'm

<v Speaker 1>missing one.

<v Speaker 2>You'll let me know.

<v Speaker 1>So HOWD he started targeting the injured thumb to break

<v Speaker 1>out of a hole, but he got dropped with a

<v Speaker 1>spinning solo. I think he should call that the Samoan

<v Speaker 1>solo just for the sake of consistency, or better yet,

<v Speaker 1>spinning Samoan. There you go, spinning somebody. He's literally a

<v Speaker 1>spinning Samoan and he hits the move that should be

<v Speaker 1>the name of the I just renamed it. I just

<v Speaker 1>renamed the fucking move on the top rope. Solo came

<v Speaker 1>flying off with a diving splash on Howdy for a

<v Speaker 1>two count. Howdy countered out of Solo Solo, I should say,

<v Speaker 1>trying his sister Abigail. He countered out into a mandible claw.

<v Speaker 1>Solo got out of it with a spike, which sent

<v Speaker 1>Howdy into the corner, and Solo managed two running hip attacks,

<v Speaker 1>but a third one got intercepted by Howdy, who finished

<v Speaker 1>him off with sister Abigail for the clean and decisive win. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>someone said the uh samoan spear? How did I forget that?

<v Speaker 1>That's like a's low hanging fruit. Of course, yes, the

<v Speaker 1>samoan spear. Say, we just named like five different moves.

<v Speaker 1>I like the spinning samo and I think that's what

<v Speaker 1>he should call it from now on. But yes, Uncle

<v Speaker 1>Howdy pins Samoa Joe clean decisively. Look, the work in

<v Speaker 1>the match itself was solid, all right. I can't say

<v Speaker 1>it was the most exciting match. The work itself, though,

<v Speaker 1>was solid. Matches was pretty dull. When the match is over,

<v Speaker 1>Howdy is outside the ring and he reclaims the lantern,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I'm so happy for Uncle Howdy because

<v Speaker 1>I'm because mainly I'm happy for myself that this feud

<v Speaker 1>is finally over, and we can move beyond this, and

<v Speaker 1>the Wyats can move on, and the MFTs can move on.

<v Speaker 1>We could all move on. We can all rejoice. Then

<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere he comes fucking Tallatonga with a boot.

<v Speaker 1>He's like hanging over by the barricade, by the timekeeper's area,

<v Speaker 1>and he gets.

<v Speaker 3>Kicked in the fucking face by Talatonga and he takes

<v Speaker 3>the lantern. He takes the lantern, and then the Wyots

<v Speaker 3>run out and they chase the why ITTs. They chase

<v Speaker 3>the MFTs off into the crowd, And I'm sitting here

<v Speaker 3>and i am just I'm gobsbacked by this.

<v Speaker 1>Why Why are we continuing this? I'm going to need

<v Speaker 1>a good explanation for this. We had a clean, decisive

<v Speaker 1>win in a singles match between the two leaders, the

<v Speaker 1>leader of each group, he had the lantern and they

<v Speaker 1>took it away from him again, and now we have

<v Speaker 1>to relive this again and again and again because they

<v Speaker 1>are creatively bankrupt when it comes to their tag team division.

<v Speaker 1>This is what we are stuck with. This is what

<v Speaker 1>happens when you have the other teams in your division,

<v Speaker 1>not even all of them, but you have the other

<v Speaker 1>teams in your division who are relegated to a backstage

<v Speaker 1>segment later in the show, a comedy segment with the

<v Speaker 1>Fucking Crate and Our Truth explaining to all of them

<v Speaker 1>how they can order the pl tomorrow on the ESPN

<v Speaker 1>app and walking them through the instructions. This is what

<v Speaker 1>they have Phraxihim doing. This is what they have Los

<v Speaker 1>Garza doing in the back. And I think I spotted

<v Speaker 1>Ray Phoenix in there as well. We'll throw him in

<v Speaker 1>there too. He's not in a tag team anymore, but

<v Speaker 1>we'll throw him in there anyway. This is what happens

<v Speaker 1>when you are totally incompletely bankrupt when it comes to

<v Speaker 1>in this case, your tag team division. But really, I

<v Speaker 1>mean a lot of these guys are in the mid

<v Speaker 1>card Unsmackdown. They've got nothing going on, and this is

<v Speaker 1>what they're doing with them, And instead we get the

<v Speaker 1>same matches over and over again with these two factions,

<v Speaker 1>which nobody asked for. But we saw the end of

<v Speaker 1>the feud tonight. But they're going to drag this out

<v Speaker 1>until WrestleMania. I guarantee you that's exactly what they're gonna do.

<v Speaker 1>They are going to drag this out until WrestleMania, and

<v Speaker 1>maybe they'll do some sort of stipulation match there and

<v Speaker 1>he'll get the lantern back and nobody will give a

<v Speaker 1>shit because he already got it back. I look when

<v Speaker 1>I just when I saw Tallatanka come in with that

<v Speaker 1>fucking boot, I was like, you have to be shitting

<v Speaker 1>me with this. I don't know what else to say.

<v Speaker 1>I really don't. I don't know what else to say.

<v Speaker 1>We go backstage. Nick all This tells Drew McIntyre that

<v Speaker 1>his opponent would be set after the elimination shamber. All

<v Speaker 1>This told them, look, you go home and stay out

<v Speaker 1>of trouble. So McIntyre talked about, look, you and I

<v Speaker 1>have a long time relationship and you and I are

<v Speaker 1>on the same page, So I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna

<v Speaker 1>go home. So as he's leaving, Paul Hayman, Logan Paul,

<v Speaker 1>and Austin Theory are walking in and but the scraps

<v Speaker 1>of the vision basically show up here on SmackDown. Hayman

<v Speaker 1>suggested to all This that Logan Paul be the one

<v Speaker 1>to take Jay Usso spot in the elimination Chamber. Lantern

<v Speaker 1>on a pole match says nine oh five. Frequency lantern

<v Speaker 1>on a pole. So the payoff to this month's long

<v Speaker 1>feud is a pole match. Really, I see maybe lantern

<v Speaker 1>on an electric pole. If you touch the pole by accident,

<v Speaker 1>you get five thousand volts jolting through your body. Remember

<v Speaker 1>that game, the board game Operation. I used to play

<v Speaker 1>that as a kid. You can't touch the uh you know,

<v Speaker 1>the rim of the of the whatever, the person's insides,

<v Speaker 1>whatever you're trying to I don't remember what the purpose

<v Speaker 1>of the fucking game was, but like, if you touch it,

<v Speaker 1>like you get a little bit of a shock, kind

<v Speaker 1>of like it buzzes something like that. I kind of

<v Speaker 1>feel like that I'd be okay with I'm just at

<v Speaker 1>this point, I'm just done. So anyway, Logan is all

<v Speaker 1>up now in nick Aldo's face and he's flexing with

<v Speaker 1>his bicep and he's telling him to kiss it. He goes,

<v Speaker 1>I give you my consent, and all this passes and

<v Speaker 1>he says, oh, you're a loss. All this said, you know,

<v Speaker 1>the timing of you guys showing up is very interesting,

<v Speaker 1>coming just moments after Jay Ussel got hauled off in

<v Speaker 1>an ambulance and Theory got in all this face. Hayman

<v Speaker 1>calmed him down. Though all this said, adding logan to

<v Speaker 1>the match, it was an interesting proposition. But I got

<v Speaker 1>to make some phone calls. First, we had Rhea Ripley

<v Speaker 1>and Eosky. They were interviewed ahead of their women's tag

<v Speaker 1>team title defense tonight against Naya Jackson lash Legend. Ripley

<v Speaker 1>said that she had to take things one at a

<v Speaker 1>time and she was focused right now, not in the chamber,

<v Speaker 1>but she was focused on defending her defending her titles

<v Speaker 1>with EO and that was her main focus right now.

<v Speaker 1>Jade Cargill showed up and she told Ria that no

<v Speaker 1>one would have her back inside the chamber and that

<v Speaker 1>should be her focus. And then she said, hopefully you

<v Speaker 1>don't get hurt, you don't hurt yourself during the tag

<v Speaker 1>team match tonight, and she walked away. Why would you

<v Speaker 1>say that, Why would you jinx it with all the

<v Speaker 1>injuries that we've had lately, don't even jinx it. This

<v Speaker 1>company can ill afford to lose someone like Rhea Ripley

<v Speaker 1>now heading into WrestleMania elsewhere. Nick Alldis was on the

<v Speaker 1>phone when Jacob Fatu showed up. I guess he was

<v Speaker 1>back from the hospital, and if Fatu proposed that he'd

<v Speaker 1>be put into the chamber to replace jay Uso. He

<v Speaker 1>told all this that he had a Drew problem. You

<v Speaker 1>got a Drew problem. When I win the elimination Chamber,

<v Speaker 1>I go to WrestleMania and I take care of Drew

<v Speaker 1>back and Tire, I take care of your Drew problem.

<v Speaker 1>And all this told fought too that he would take

<v Speaker 1>his proposal under advisement. Now, it was supposed to be

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany Stratton against Osca. Osca, though, came out and she

<v Speaker 1>said that she was smart. I'm smart, and so instead

<v Speaker 1>she was going to stay fresh for the elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and she was not going to wrestle Instead, she

<v Speaker 1>was going to have Kyrie Sane take her place, which

<v Speaker 1>actually is very smart. Chelsea Green and Alba Fire, I

<v Speaker 1>should point out they made their way out to the

<v Speaker 1>ring before the match started. Alba was wheeling Chelsea out

<v Speaker 1>to the ring, just like a FTR does with Stokely

<v Speaker 1>Hathaway on Dynamite. Chelsea then joined Joe Tessitaur and Wade

<v Speaker 1>Barrett on commentary. Early in the match. As Tiffany was

<v Speaker 1>entering the ring, Osca distracted her. That allowed Kyrie to

<v Speaker 1>take advantage, and she sent Stratton face first into the

<v Speaker 1>ring post. That took us face first into a commercial break,

<v Speaker 1>so we got the rolling sent on from Stratton. Moonsalt, ever,

<v Speaker 1>though got blocked, and Kyrie took advantage. She hit the

<v Speaker 1>double stomp from the top. Later on, she had Stratton

<v Speaker 1>for some move on the apron and that got countered

<v Speaker 1>into a soup plex attempt by Tiffany, but Kyrie was

<v Speaker 1>able to reverse that into a spike DDT on the

<v Speaker 1>apron and both women fell to the floor. Back inside,

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie attempted an insane elbow Stratton, though recovered, then she

<v Speaker 1>pushed her out of the ring into Alba fire. Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>got up from her wheelchair. She was yelling at Tiffany,

<v Speaker 1>who moved out of the way at the last second,

<v Speaker 1>causing a diving Kyrie to collide into Chelsea. Stratton threw

<v Speaker 1>Kyrie back inside, She hit the rolling sent on and

<v Speaker 1>then put an end to things with the prettiest moon

<v Speaker 1>salt ever for the wind. For those of you interested,

<v Speaker 1>if you are a Tiffany Stratton fan, Ivy Nile has

<v Speaker 1>her own YouTube channel. I forgot under what name it is.

<v Speaker 1>I think it's her in her boyfriend or husband, whoever

<v Speaker 1>it is that run the channel, and they put a

<v Speaker 1>workout video I guess in Ivy's gym that they have built.

<v Speaker 1>It looks like in their garage, but they've built out

<v Speaker 1>this big gym and can't be her garage. It's bigger

<v Speaker 1>than a garage. But anyway, there's a workout video up

<v Speaker 1>right now with Tiffany Stratton and Ivy Nile And if

<v Speaker 1>that's something you're interested in, you could find it on YouTube.

<v Speaker 1>Don't ask me for the name of the channel because

<v Speaker 1>I don't remember, but I was watching part of it

<v Speaker 1>earlier today. Tiffany is going to be doing a bodybuilding

<v Speaker 1>competition soon. By the way, last week, I will point

<v Speaker 1>out to you that Tiffany score a win. I believe

<v Speaker 1>it was over Alba Fire, Right was that last week

<v Speaker 1>or the week before? I wasn't here last week, but

<v Speaker 1>I did watch SmackDown when I got back from the

<v Speaker 1>Hog Show, but she got to win over Alba Fire.

<v Speaker 1>So this is not the first time that Tiffany Stratton

<v Speaker 1>has been involved in a segment here with Alba and Chelsea,

<v Speaker 1>and Julia is the one with the US title right now,

<v Speaker 1>not Chelsea, but It does make me wonder if this

<v Speaker 1>is a sign of what Tiffany might be doing at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>assuming she doesn't win the Chamber tomorrow, which I just

<v Speaker 1>don't think she is, but it would, it would. I'd

<v Speaker 1>be fine with it because it would avoid having to

<v Speaker 1>do Tiffany and Jade again at WrestleMania. I have no

<v Speaker 1>interest in seeing that again. But maybe Tiffany is going

<v Speaker 1>to be involved in some sort of multi woman US

<v Speaker 1>title match. That might be the only way the US

<v Speaker 1>title gets on that WrestleMania card. So I mentioned EO

<v Speaker 1>Sky before, maybe instead of EO Sky and Julia, maybe

<v Speaker 1>Julia defends in a multi person match and maybe Tiffany's

<v Speaker 1>in there. I could see Eo being in there. Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>if she was recovered. I think she has a small

<v Speaker 1>break in her ankle. If she's recovered in times, she

<v Speaker 1>could be in there. That could be what we're looking at.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, we'll find out tomorrow. If Tiffany wins the Chamber,

<v Speaker 1>then this is all moot. But this is the second

<v Speaker 1>time now she's been involved in something with Chelsea and Albus.

<v Speaker 1>It just feels like she's slotted a little bit further

<v Speaker 1>down the car not with jade A WrestleMania, the vision.

<v Speaker 1>We're waiting patiently in Nick Aldos's office and all this

<v Speaker 1>informed them that he spoke with his Raw counterpart Adam

<v Speaker 1>Pierce and Logan. Paul will be in the elimination chamber,

<v Speaker 1>provided he can win his match tonight in the main

<v Speaker 1>event against Jacob Fatu, and Hayman was freaking out and

<v Speaker 1>Logan conned him down. He was cool and cocky. He said, fine,

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna win. I'm gonna go into the chamber. I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna win the chamber, and I'm going to WrestleMania. After this,

<v Speaker 1>we had the miss one on one with Oba Femei,

<v Speaker 1>and I noticed that we did hit the goal here,

<v Speaker 1>not the likes goal. We're still worth four oh seven,

<v Speaker 1>or less than one hundred likes away from the likes goal.

<v Speaker 1>But we hit the bonus goal, which is actually tied

<v Speaker 1>into the main goal. So we'll see how that works out.

<v Speaker 1>But yes, keep hitting that like button. We have the

<v Speaker 1>miz and Oba Femi. As the bell rang, Mis rolled

<v Speaker 1>out of the ring, he grabbed the mic. Mike grabbed

<v Speaker 1>the mic and he told Femi that we don't have

<v Speaker 1>to fight, but as the self proclaimed locker room leader.

<v Speaker 1>We could use this as a teaching moment. This son

<v Speaker 1>of a bit of stealing Chase Andre Chase's gimmick from NXT.

<v Speaker 1>He's talking about teachable moments. Poor Andre Chase. He's gonna

<v Speaker 1>have to come up with a whole new stick if

<v Speaker 1>he ever gets called up. Mis talked about how many

<v Speaker 1>years ago he made the mistake to go after locker

<v Speaker 1>room leaders like Undertaker and Triple H. And he offered to.

<v Speaker 2>Or.

<v Speaker 1>He offered Oba to be his guide, stating that he

<v Speaker 1>wanted to be his undertaker. Oba told him in a

<v Speaker 1>manner far more menacing than I ever could. You don't

<v Speaker 1>have a striking resemblance, but you do look like a

<v Speaker 1>dead man to me. Femi gauged interest from the crowd

<v Speaker 1>here in Louisville at this point on whether or not

<v Speaker 1>he wanted to should he accept Miss's offer so they

<v Speaker 1>could be the awesome rulers, And that didn't go over

<v Speaker 1>very well. Oba just stared him dead in his eyes

<v Speaker 1>and he declared, Mis, you're dying tonight, and again Mis

<v Speaker 1>tried to beg off. That didn't work out too well

<v Speaker 1>for him. He took a shot at Oba that was

<v Speaker 1>very dumb, so Oba mowed him down with a clothesline.

<v Speaker 1>Then Oba took down a diving Miss off the top

<v Speaker 1>rope with one punch, just punched him in the gut

<v Speaker 1>on his way down, and then he blocked Miss's attempt

<v Speaker 1>at a skull crushing finale, and then he just heaved

<v Speaker 1>him halfway across the ring. He yeaded him, He yeaeded

<v Speaker 1>him halfway across the ring, and then Oba won with

<v Speaker 1>his fall from grace power bomb. So look, opah Femi

<v Speaker 1>continues to show up and kill people. He beat Kit

<v Speaker 1>Wilson twice. He's being teased for a match on Raw

<v Speaker 1>at some point soon with Russev. He easily dispatched the

<v Speaker 1>mizz here tonight right, former WWE champion. And that's all

<v Speaker 1>well and good. I just hope that they heard the

<v Speaker 1>crowd on Monday night when brock Lesnar came out, he

<v Speaker 1>didn't even really say anything. It was really Paul Hayman

<v Speaker 1>who talked about the open challenge for brock Lesnar or WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>Very interesting by the way that all of his dates

<v Speaker 1>are all raw dates, and when they put Roman Reigns's

<v Speaker 1>schedule up online, it's all raw dates, like they're putting

<v Speaker 1>a real focus on fucking Raw over SmackDown. Not that

<v Speaker 1>Raw couldn't use the help, but I just hope they

<v Speaker 1>were really paying attention. Obviously they heard the chance. The

<v Speaker 1>crowd has let them know what they want the match

<v Speaker 1>to be at WrestleMania. Hopefully, when the time time is right,

<v Speaker 1>Obafemi will be the one to come out and accept

<v Speaker 1>the open challenge and that will be the WrestleMania match.

<v Speaker 1>I really don't have any interest in any other Brocklesner

<v Speaker 1>match or WrestleMania. I really don't. Oba is somebody who

<v Speaker 1>you could at least use Brock in a way that

<v Speaker 1>helps elevate Oba to that next level. Does that mean

<v Speaker 1>Oba's going to beat him?

<v Speaker 2>He may not.

<v Speaker 1>If the idea is to run it back again at

<v Speaker 1>some point and do a rematch, I could absolutely see

<v Speaker 1>them having Brocklesner beat Obafemi. I think that would be

<v Speaker 1>very stupid, but that is clearly a match that people

<v Speaker 1>are ready to see based on the tease they did

<v Speaker 1>at the Royal Rumble. When you tease people like that,

<v Speaker 1>you're playing a very dangerous game if you then turn

<v Speaker 1>around and you expect him to be out there on

<v Speaker 1>television every week and chanting for anybody other than Obafemi.

<v Speaker 1>Hopefully that is the payoff that we get at the

<v Speaker 1>end of this rainbow here. They're going to take it

<v Speaker 1>all the way to WrestleMania and not even tell us

<v Speaker 1>who he's wrestling. I mentioned this the other night. You know,

<v Speaker 1>one of the dates that Brock has is Madison Square

<v Speaker 1>Garden at the end of March. I could see that

<v Speaker 1>being the night that Oba steps up and accepts the challenge,

<v Speaker 1>answers the challenge, and we get that setup for WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>Carmel O Hayes was in the back and he was

<v Speaker 1>very surprised to see Ilia Dragonov in a suit and

<v Speaker 1>not dressed for combat, because he was ready to go

<v Speaker 1>out to the ring for the US title Open Challenge,

<v Speaker 1>and Dragonov said he didn't feel worthy after losing to

<v Speaker 1>Tomatonga last week, and Hayes was not happy about this.

<v Speaker 1>He said, look, I don't need a pep talk from you,

<v Speaker 1>but look, you need to remind yourself of who you are,

<v Speaker 1>because if you don't take your shot now, somebody else would.

<v Speaker 1>And indeed that person who accepted the open challenge tonight

<v Speaker 1>ended up being Matt Cardona, who was always ready, so

<v Speaker 1>he was ready for this match here tonight, Cardona. I

<v Speaker 1>held control through a break and during the commercial it

<v Speaker 1>was just man, I mean, it was total silence, total

<v Speaker 1>silence and apathy. I could hear this one guy in

<v Speaker 1>the crowd, and it sounded like he was pretty far

<v Speaker 1>out in the crowd too. It wasn't like he was

<v Speaker 1>in the first few rows, just going woo woo woo,

<v Speaker 1>and you could just hear him over and over again,

<v Speaker 1>woo woo woo. At least when they came back from

<v Speaker 1>commercial he had a Brosky boot. The crowd started, at

<v Speaker 1>least making some kind of noise. Hayes eventually made a

<v Speaker 1>comeback with a springboard clothesline. He absorbed a boot from

<v Speaker 1>Cardona and bounced into the ropes to hit his version

<v Speaker 1>of La Mistica for an earfall. Cardona blocked the first

<v Speaker 1>forty eight attempt. He dropped him with a double underhook

<v Speaker 1>power bomb, and then Hayes avoided a Brosky boot. He

<v Speaker 1>tossed him overhead with the back body drop. As Hayes

<v Speaker 1>headed up top, Cardona woke up and caught him with

<v Speaker 1>a Frankensteiner. Hayes head to the top, he went for nothing,

<v Speaker 1>but net Cardona dodged it. He landed a rough rider

<v Speaker 1>only for a near fall. Hayes, though finally did hit

<v Speaker 1>the first forty eight for the win to retain the titles.

<v Speaker 1>So again, this was it was very different from a

<v Speaker 1>lot of the Open Challenge matches that we've had before.

<v Speaker 1>This was not one of the better ones. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>there's nothing wrong with it. I thought it was a

<v Speaker 1>solid enough match. It just wasn't anything terribly exciting. And

<v Speaker 1>in this case, unlike you again, if he was in

<v Speaker 1>there with an Alia Dragon of or someone like that,

<v Speaker 1>you have at least some doubt like, oh, is this

<v Speaker 1>the night he drops the belt? Right? There was no

<v Speaker 1>doubt here, Like we knew, there was no doubt here.

<v Speaker 1>So it was hard for people to really get into it.

<v Speaker 1>And why. And again, when we've seen Cardona on this

<v Speaker 1>show in recent weeks, he's been hanging out in the

<v Speaker 1>back with Apollo Cruise, who never does anything on this show.

<v Speaker 1>You know, that's the thing. When you slot somebody at

<v Speaker 1>a certain level, that is how people are going to

<v Speaker 1>look at them. So they're not going to buy into

<v Speaker 1>the idea that Matt Cardona is going to go in

<v Speaker 1>there and beat Carmelo Hayes to win the US Championship,

<v Speaker 1>because that would be dumb, especially this close to WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>But this was the point in the show where the

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown Tag Team Division stood in front of the giant

<v Speaker 1>mystery crate in the back wondering what the hell was

<v Speaker 1>inside when Our Truth showed up and he was standing

<v Speaker 1>in front of I don't even know what it was.

<v Speaker 1>It was like a makeshift booth. It looked like a

<v Speaker 1>fucking lemonade stand or whatever, and it had like the

<v Speaker 1>ESPN letters up there, and he was explaining how to

<v Speaker 1>order the ple on the ESPN app, which we have

<v Speaker 1>seen this before. They did a segment exactly like this

<v Speaker 1>a number of months ago, and I think Angel Garzi

<v Speaker 1>even said, you know, like you've you've told us before,

<v Speaker 1>but since we're all fucking idiots, we need Our Truth

<v Speaker 1>to show us how to use the app, and show

<v Speaker 1>all these guys how to use the app because they

<v Speaker 1>don't know how to do it. Candace Larray at this point,

<v Speaker 1>rolled another crate or a production one of his production

<v Speaker 1>cases interview with her depressed husband laying face down on

<v Speaker 1>top of it. Kit Wilson then showed up. But this

<v Speaker 1>is quite a segment here. As you can tell, Kit

<v Speaker 1>Wilson shows up and he calls everybody in the room

<v Speaker 1>toxic for laughing at Gargano's plight. This was cringe city.

<v Speaker 1>That's all I had to write here, two words. Cringe

<v Speaker 1>city is what this segment was. We had Jordan Grace

<v Speaker 1>against Candice Larray. Johnny Gargano was out there. Johnny Gargana

<v Speaker 1>was laying face first down on the very edge of

<v Speaker 1>the announced desk. That is where he stayed for the

<v Speaker 1>majority of this match. He laid there basically like catatonic,

<v Speaker 1>as his wife wrestled in the ring. But he was

<v Speaker 1>laying there in a catatonic state like me for most

<v Speaker 1>of this show tonight. For about the last hour, I

<v Speaker 1>would say of this show, that was me. So Candace

<v Speaker 1>locked in a sleeper until Jordan powered out of it.

<v Speaker 1>Up and over to the apron went Lorey, who headed

<v Speaker 1>up top. Grace, though, hit her with a single shot

<v Speaker 1>and then she turned that into a stalling superplex from

<v Speaker 1>the middle rope. She followed that with a modified jackhammer.

<v Speaker 1>Candace kicked out. So Candace at one point here spotted

<v Speaker 1>her husband suddenly sit up on the announced desk, and

<v Speaker 1>then Gargano ambled off with his head down. He's leaving,

<v Speaker 1>and this distraction was enough for Jordan to catch Candace

<v Speaker 1>with a pump handle German supplex for the win. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I looked at the clock when this match ended, and

<v Speaker 1>to the point that I made at the beginning of

<v Speaker 1>this review that there are just certain weeks where this

<v Speaker 1>three hour show feels every bit of those three hours.

<v Speaker 1>I looked at the clock and I realiz, it's only

<v Speaker 1>nine fifty four pm. We have another hour of this.

<v Speaker 1>It was one of those weeks. There is a lot

<v Speaker 1>more offense, I will say in this match for Candice

<v Speaker 1>Lay than I would have expected, and because of that,

<v Speaker 1>the crowd was silent. They were silent for most of

<v Speaker 1>it outside of that stalling super plex that Jordan did.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the payoff is supposed to be

<v Speaker 1>to the Johnny Gargano stuff. I'm not convinced there is

<v Speaker 1>going to be a real payoff here. I think they

<v Speaker 1>were caught somewhat flat footed by Tamaso Champa's decision not

<v Speaker 1>to re sign, and so in the absence of having

<v Speaker 1>him around his Gargano's tag team partner, they're lost they're

<v Speaker 1>lost as far as what to do with Johnny Gargano.

<v Speaker 1>And I will say this, you know, Johnny Gargano is

<v Speaker 1>a great wrestler. And I said this before about the

<v Speaker 1>Viking Raiders, the war Raiders. What have you come post WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>I'd be very worried if I were certain people on

<v Speaker 1>this roster, you know when those post WrestleMania cuts hit,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure they will if you're Johnny Gargano. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>just look at what they have you doing every single week. Literally,

<v Speaker 1>you show up to work every week and you're just

<v Speaker 1>laying face down on top of a crate, on top

<v Speaker 1>of a table. This is not a gimmick that is

<v Speaker 1>going to be something that the company is going to

<v Speaker 1>build any real story off of. It is something for

<v Speaker 1>you to do in the meantime until they either a

<v Speaker 1>come up with something better for you to do or

<v Speaker 1>b they get.

<v Speaker 2>Rid of you.

<v Speaker 1>But this ain't gonna last that much longer. Backstage, Jade

<v Speaker 1>Cargill warned Raquel Rodriguez that she would put her down

<v Speaker 1>because Raquel was being interviewed. Everybody was there tonight, Raw

<v Speaker 1>and SmackDown. That's basically every week on this show. So

<v Speaker 1>in the middle of Raquel's interview, she's interrupted by Jay.

<v Speaker 1>Jade was going around all night just interrupting people's interviews

<v Speaker 1>and warning them and threatening them. She also cut her

<v Speaker 1>hair short, by the way, had a new hairstyle tonight,

<v Speaker 1>and she told Raquel that she would put her down

<v Speaker 1>if she went on to win the elimination Chamber and

<v Speaker 1>face her WrestleMania. So after Raquel left Meechen and BFAB

<v Speaker 1>yet again showed up to confront Jade, and Jade didn't

<v Speaker 1>look all that terrified by these two. Jacob thought Too,

<v Speaker 1>was warming up elsewhere in the back, and Cody Rhodes

<v Speaker 1>walked up to him and said, believe it or not,

<v Speaker 1>I want you to win. I hope you win your

<v Speaker 1>match later tonight, Sammy's ain't appeared in front of Cody

<v Speaker 1>and he got a quick handshake off went Cody. Sammy

<v Speaker 1>went over to talk to Jacob and he indirectly accused

<v Speaker 1>him perhaps maybe maybe he was the man, Maybe Jacob

<v Speaker 1>was the man responsible for what happened to Jay. Use

<v Speaker 1>Fa obviously didn't take very kindly to that accusation, and

<v Speaker 1>he shouted that, you know, McIntyre directly screwed him. Out

<v Speaker 1>of the chamber qualifier. It was him who got Claymore

<v Speaker 1>kicked and screwed out of a spot in the elimination chamber.

<v Speaker 1>Even Cody Rhoades got Claymore kicked. You know who did

<v Speaker 1>not get Claymore kicked in that triple threat qualifying match.

<v Speaker 1>They all had Sammy's Ain. So Sammy tried to apologize,

<v Speaker 1>and fat Tu ended up leaving to go get ready

<v Speaker 1>for his match. He didn't want to hear it. Sammy

<v Speaker 1>was trying to explain to him. You know, he just

<v Speaker 1>he's been on edge lately. He's just he's not in

<v Speaker 1>a good headspace. So Fatu left and then in a

<v Speaker 1>fit of rage, Sammy flipped over a nearby table as

<v Speaker 1>he continues to slowly lose his mind. And there they

<v Speaker 1>are teasing a potential Sammy's Ain heel turn, which I

<v Speaker 1>am not against. I think it could be just what

<v Speaker 1>he needs before he eventually goes back babyface. But you

<v Speaker 1>got to hit bottom, you know, you got to hit

<v Speaker 1>rock bottom before you climb your way out of that

<v Speaker 1>hole and try to climb back to the top. If

<v Speaker 1>Sammy's Ain is going to be a World heavyweight champion

<v Speaker 1>at some point, it's not going to happen anytime soon.

<v Speaker 1>So he has not yet hit rock bottom in this story,

<v Speaker 1>but I think we are seeing him in the midst

<v Speaker 1>of doing that. So it'll be interesting to see do

<v Speaker 1>they pull the trigger and have him go heal? Is

<v Speaker 1>Is he going to be revealed? Is the man who

<v Speaker 1>was responsible for whether it's attacking Jacob or attacking Jay.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're not the same person. Maybe he has nothing

<v Speaker 1>to do with that, and he just he just snaps

<v Speaker 1>because he's tired of being overlooked and he's tired of

<v Speaker 1>being screwed. And I even talked about, you know, the

<v Speaker 1>potential for Cody Rhodes if he wins the belt back

<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania for Sammy's ain coming out of Mania, it'll

<v Speaker 1>be maybe the first person he feuds with, you know,

<v Speaker 1>if Sammy kind of goes nuts and attacks Cody. Right,

<v Speaker 1>you can't discount that as a possibility either. Yeah, they're

<v Speaker 1>telling some kind of story with Samy's We'll see where

<v Speaker 1>it pans out, but I'm interested to see where they

<v Speaker 1>take it.

<v Speaker 2>Now.

<v Speaker 1>At this point, we had Rhea, Ripley, and Eosky defending

<v Speaker 1>their women's tag team titles against Naya Jacks and Lash

<v Speaker 1>Legend the Irresistible Forces what they call themselves. Now, there

<v Speaker 1>was a spot, I don't know, maybe midway through the

<v Speaker 1>match where uh, Eosky got well, let me, let me,

<v Speaker 1>let's get into what went down here. Before I even

<v Speaker 1>get into that, they went to a commercial break. They

<v Speaker 1>came back from the commercial and Lash absolutely flattened EO

<v Speaker 1>with a massive, big boot. She was able to eventually

<v Speaker 1>grab a hot tag though from Rhea Ripley, who escaped

<v Speaker 1>a samoan drop attempt by nya missile drop kick from

<v Speaker 1>Rihea got a near fall. EO was looking for the

<v Speaker 1>tag back in Legend, though, pulls her down off the

<v Speaker 1>apron to prevent the tag from happening. Now, she went

<v Speaker 1>to go send EO into the race steps. EO reversed it,

<v Speaker 1>and Lash took this just hilariously horrible bump into the

<v Speaker 1>steps where they kind of lost each other and she

<v Speaker 1>she kind of threw herself into the steps. It looked,

<v Speaker 1>it looked terrible inside the ring. This gave Naya the

<v Speaker 1>opening to hit a samo and drop on Rhea as

<v Speaker 1>she pulled her into the corner to set up for

<v Speaker 1>an annihilator. Rhea, though was able to avoid it. She

<v Speaker 1>hit a cheeky Nando's kick in the corner and then

<v Speaker 1>lifted her out of the corner and even walked with

<v Speaker 1>her a little bit, and then power bombed. Nya only

<v Speaker 1>got a near fall, so Ripley then floored Nya with

<v Speaker 1>a shining Wizard and she rolled out Naya that is

<v Speaker 1>rolled outside. Rhea followed with a cannon ball off the apron.

<v Speaker 1>They took the second commercial break here.

<v Speaker 2>Of this match.

<v Speaker 1>So later on, Legend connected with a choked slam. Nya

<v Speaker 1>follow that with a leg drop. Eo made the safe

<v Speaker 1>to break up the count that followed, Legend had Eo

<v Speaker 1>up at a power bomb position, she was able to

<v Speaker 1>avoid it sent her out of the ring. Meanwhile, Ripley

<v Speaker 1>avoided the running attack from Nya Jax, which caused Naya

<v Speaker 1>to post herself shoulder first in the corner. Eo got

<v Speaker 1>the hot tag. She used her speed to hit Legend

<v Speaker 1>with a double stomp and Legend stunned in the corner.

<v Speaker 1>EO connected on the bullet train knees. EO hit her

<v Speaker 1>over the moon salt on lash. Nya broke up the pin.

<v Speaker 1>Nya got Eo in position for an Annihilator and crushed

<v Speaker 1>her with it. Lash, who was legal, covered EO, but

<v Speaker 1>Rhea pulled Lash out of the ring to save the titles.

<v Speaker 1>Back inside, Ripley hit Riptide on Naya, but again Lash

<v Speaker 1>was the legal woman. Rhea didn't know this, so Lash

<v Speaker 1>Legend grabs Rhea Ripley and she hooks her in position

<v Speaker 1>for her Lash Extension finish, and she drops her with

<v Speaker 1>it and she pins Rhea Ripley, not Eo Sky. She

<v Speaker 1>pinned Rhea Ripley, who again has the highest score. I

<v Speaker 1>do believe in WWE two K twenty six, so they

<v Speaker 1>should tack on a few points now to Lash Legends score.

<v Speaker 1>And we have new women's tag team champions, and I

<v Speaker 1>rejoice because finally we can get Ria and Eo involved

<v Speaker 1>in something other than the tag team title scene. I

<v Speaker 1>thought the match, it was a good match that they had,

<v Speaker 1>and I have no issue with them doing a title

<v Speaker 1>change here. I really don't have anything bad to say

<v Speaker 1>about it. And now it opens the door for Rhea

<v Speaker 1>Ripley to win the Elimination Chamber tomorrow and have her

<v Speaker 1>challenge Jade car Gill of WrestleMania, which it seems very

<v Speaker 1>likely to me to be the outcome of that match tomorrow.

<v Speaker 1>Because think about it, Like, if they don't do that

<v Speaker 1>is the plan, what would the plan be? Would the

<v Speaker 1>plan be for Rhea, Ripley, and Eosky to just continue

<v Speaker 1>chasing after the women's tag team titles? Like you've put

<v Speaker 1>the belts now on Naya and Lash. I am certain

<v Speaker 1>they will be defending those titles, if not in a

<v Speaker 1>multi team match at WrestleMania. They're going to defend those

<v Speaker 1>belts against the Bella Twins, Like that's going to be

<v Speaker 1>the match at wrestle Media. You have the belts on

<v Speaker 1>a heel team, The Bells are going to be pushed

<v Speaker 1>as a babyface team, very likely are going to win

<v Speaker 1>the tag team titles a WrestleMania. It almost doesn't even matter.

<v Speaker 1>But I mean, if you want to get more people

<v Speaker 1>on the card, you can have Bailey and Lyra, you

<v Speaker 1>can have Osca and Kyrie. That's why I say it

<v Speaker 1>could be a multi team match. But that seems to

<v Speaker 1>be the direction to me. So then where do you

<v Speaker 1>slot Rear, Ripley and Eosky on that show? Realistically, I

<v Speaker 1>don't see them wrestling each other, although I'd love to

<v Speaker 1>see it. Who does Reo Wrestle. She's not wrestling Stephanie Vaquerre.

<v Speaker 1>She's wrestling Jade Cargill. Seems pretty clear to me that's

<v Speaker 1>the direction they're going in. Now, what's my overall score

<v Speaker 1>in two K twenty so, oh solo monster, I mean please,

<v Speaker 1>I have a one to oh one.

<v Speaker 2>That's my score.

<v Speaker 1>It's like when Dave started giving out six stars in

<v Speaker 1>the newsletter. As ridiculous as that is, my rating is

<v Speaker 1>over one hundred. My rating because it's up to one hundred, right,

<v Speaker 1>I think my rating is like one to three.

<v Speaker 2>I'm special.

<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, they were in the back

<v Speaker 1>and they were commiserating with one another. Charlotte was eating

<v Speaker 1>out of these pints of ice cream. She had three

<v Speaker 1>pints of ice cream that she was eating out of.

<v Speaker 1>She was very upset that we just saw Naya and

<v Speaker 1>Lash win the tag team titles. She said to Alexa.

<v Speaker 1>As Alexa walked in, did you see we have new

<v Speaker 1>tag team champions? So Julia and Keana James walked in

<v Speaker 1>and they mocked them, and the two of them reiterated

<v Speaker 1>their goals of being double champions. Flair, still eating her

<v Speaker 1>ice cream, said neither Keana nor Julia could have any

<v Speaker 1>of it. And then Jade Cargill walked in and sarcastically

<v Speaker 1>wished Keana and Alexa luck in the chamber tomorrow. And

<v Speaker 1>then as Jade walked off, Charlotte pouted, Sure doesn't feel

<v Speaker 1>like Charlotte and Alexa are going to have anything to

<v Speaker 1>do with the women's World title picture of WrestleMania. It's

<v Speaker 1>just not the impression I got from what we saw tonight.

<v Speaker 1>Now elsewhere your favorite faction was back. Yes, the MFTs,

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa and the MFTs. They were talking to Nick

<v Speaker 1>Aldis complaining that something needed to be done with the whites.

<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, something needs to be done about this. Me

<v Speaker 1>and Solo are on the same page. We're in agreement

<v Speaker 1>on this. Something sure does need to be done about this.

<v Speaker 1>So Alda said it was the MFTs causing all of

<v Speaker 1>the chaos and suggested that maybe it was time to

<v Speaker 1>do something about their WWE tag team titles, which they

<v Speaker 1>have not defended in some time. And I will once

<v Speaker 1>again point out to you that Nick Aldis has been

<v Speaker 1>a very lackluster general manager when it comes to forcing

<v Speaker 1>his champions to defend their titles in a timely fashion.

<v Speaker 1>He allowed Jade car Gil to go one hundred plus

<v Speaker 1>days before her first title defense, and the Wyatts six or,

<v Speaker 1>I should say, after the Whites lost their titles to

<v Speaker 1>the MFTs, the MFTs have gone nearly four days without

<v Speaker 1>a single title defense. Now, I know this hasn't been

<v Speaker 1>a thing for a number of years now, but I

<v Speaker 1>was a fan back in the day of forcing champions

<v Speaker 1>to defend their titles at least once every thirty days.

<v Speaker 1>I think we need to reinstate the thirty day rule

<v Speaker 1>in WWE. At least one title defense every thirty days minimum.

<v Speaker 1>If I were the general manager of this show, that

<v Speaker 1>is the first rule that I would institute. I'll call

<v Speaker 1>it the Tunny rule. At least one defense every thirty days.

<v Speaker 1>Got to keep things moving along, got to keep things exciting.

<v Speaker 1>You're not going to hoard title belts on my show.

<v Speaker 1>dot com slash harmony. All this did point out that

<v Speaker 1>next week they're going to decide who the number one

<v Speaker 1>contenders are for the tag team titles, and I wish

<v Speaker 1>I could bring myself to care, but I don't, so

<v Speaker 1>we'll move on from this. Kathy Kelly was in the

<v Speaker 1>back to interview the new women's tag team champions about

<v Speaker 1>their big win. Naya Jax pointed out the fact that

<v Speaker 1>she is now a three time women's tag team champion

<v Speaker 1>and Lash Legend has just won her first title on

<v Speaker 1>the main roster, and Legend said that next week they're

<v Speaker 1>going to celebrate in the biggest and baddest way possible. Elsewhere,

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton was walking when he was confronted by carrying

<v Speaker 1>Cross and Scar Oh sorry, I meant Alistair Black and

<v Speaker 1>Zelina confronted them or confronted him backstage. Black wondered if

<v Speaker 1>that Black mass kick last week woke up something inside

<v Speaker 1>of Orton, and Black said that he hoped Orton would

<v Speaker 1>use it well. Orton said, you know, you think that

<v Speaker 1>you know what's going on in my head. I don't

<v Speaker 1>even know what's going on inside my own head. Orton

<v Speaker 1>said he was sick of this. He said, after I

<v Speaker 1>win the chamber, I'm going to come find you, and

<v Speaker 1>then he left, and Black said, of course you will,

<v Speaker 1>because we planned it that way. And they closed the

<v Speaker 1>show with the final impromptu Elimination Chamber qualifiers. See, we

<v Speaker 1>thought we were all done with the qualifying matches, but

<v Speaker 1>we got one more here. Jacob fought two one on

<v Speaker 1>one with Logan. Paul so Theory distracted Fat too long

<v Speaker 1>enough for Logan to hit him from behind that kicked

<v Speaker 1>off the match. Fat two shoved Logan off the ropes,

<v Speaker 1>he went for a swantan, Logan got his knees up,

<v Speaker 1>and Logan followed up with a blockbuster, and then he

<v Speaker 1>overshot a springboard moon salt where he got a little

<v Speaker 1>piece of Jacob on the way down, and he overshot

<v Speaker 1>it so far that when he rolled him over to

<v Speaker 1>pin him, Logan's legs were basically touching the ropes. Referee

<v Speaker 1>counted anyway, so later on Logan tried for his Paul

<v Speaker 1>Verizor finish. Jacob countered out into a superkick. Theory got

<v Speaker 1>up on the apron for the distraction. Then on the

<v Speaker 1>other side, Paul Hayman got up on the apron for

<v Speaker 1>the distraction. So fat Tu got his hands on Hayman,

<v Speaker 1>but Logan snuck up with a low blow and then

<v Speaker 1>a right hand shot, and then Logan came diving from

<v Speaker 1>the heavens off the top rope, huge splash for just

<v Speaker 1>the closest of near fall. So this was a very

<v Speaker 1>close near fall. So then outside the ring, the mystery

<v Speaker 1>Man shows up and the Mystery Man super kicks Austin Theory. Logan.

<v Speaker 1>Paul sees this and he goes out to the floor

<v Speaker 1>and he punches the mask man right in the face

<v Speaker 1>with a knockout shot, and I'm like, Okay, here we go.

<v Speaker 1>He's got to pull the mask off. Now I could tell,

<v Speaker 1>like you could just tell from the body type and

<v Speaker 1>the way he was moving around. This was a different

<v Speaker 1>person than we've seen under the mask before. They'd probably

<v Speaker 1>been different people every single week. But I said, if

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't pull the mask off now, he's gonna look

<v Speaker 1>like a giant, fucking idiot. So he goes to pull

<v Speaker 1>off the mask, and he pulls off the mask to

<v Speaker 1>reveal someone. This guy, I don't know who it is,

<v Speaker 1>but he was the man under the mask. And security

<v Speaker 1>escorted the man to the back and we never saw

<v Speaker 1>him again. Logan then returned to the ring. He got

<v Speaker 1>caught with a pop up Samoan drop and I lost

<v Speaker 1>track of how many Samoan.

<v Speaker 2>Drops we had on this show.

<v Speaker 1>I think we had three Samoan drops from three different

<v Speaker 1>Samoans on the show, Naya Jacks, Jacob Fatu, and who

<v Speaker 1>am I missing here? I thought there was a third one.

<v Speaker 1>Naya Jacks, Oh Solo Sokoa, Yes, Solo Soakoa, Jacob Fatu

<v Speaker 1>and Naya Jacks all doing Samoan drops here on this show.

<v Speaker 1>Fatu set up for his Mighty moonsaal when Drew McIntyre

<v Speaker 1>appeared at ringside very covertly, and he blasted Fatu in

<v Speaker 1>the head with the WWE Championship belt. I Fatu staggers

<v Speaker 1>backwards off the ropes, Logan Paul rolls him up, refereated

<v Speaker 1>and see it, and Logan Paul pins Jacob Fatu to

<v Speaker 1>punch his ticket into the elimination chamber. So all they

<v Speaker 1>did here was they traded one Vision member for another.

<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reid was supposed to be in the chamber. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure the mass man was going to fuck him over

<v Speaker 1>in the chamber. He got hurt. They had to call

<v Speaker 1>an audible jay usso got in. And then during the

<v Speaker 1>week they're like, how do we get out of this, Well,

<v Speaker 1>we got other members of the Vision. We'll just plug

<v Speaker 1>one of them in there. And then Logan Paul gets

<v Speaker 1>the spot and voalla. We're basically back in the same

<v Speaker 1>spot that we were in before. And now we have

<v Speaker 1>two heels, which is what it was supposed to be.

<v Speaker 1>Trick Williams was the only heel that was in the

<v Speaker 1>men's elimination chamber match. Now we have two. Now we

<v Speaker 1>have Trick Williams and Logan Paul. But that is also

<v Speaker 1>now two potential spots in the elimination chamber that Jacob

<v Speaker 1>Fatu has been screwed out of by interference from Drew

<v Speaker 1>McIntyre twice. This has happened twice now. Now I will

<v Speaker 1>also point out my question to you. You chime in

<v Speaker 1>and let me know what you think here. I'm fairly

<v Speaker 1>certain that we will have the mass Man revealed during

<v Speaker 1>the chamber tomorrow, because honestly, I mean, how much longer

<v Speaker 1>are we going to drag this shit out for? At

<v Speaker 1>the very least, the mass Man, a different one will

<v Speaker 1>appear tomorrow and screw over Logan Paul, maybe we won't

<v Speaker 1>get the reveal. I do think it'll end up being

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rawlins. So I guess it comes down to whenever

<v Speaker 1>Seth is physically ready to show his face again. But

<v Speaker 1>do you think that maybe this was their way of

<v Speaker 1>writing off this terrible angle? Seth Rollins may not be

<v Speaker 1>ready to come back. Bron Breaker got hurt, Bronson Reid

<v Speaker 1>got hurt. He's sticking his Tether's ah like, what the fuck? Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>he's sticking his tether Who's ah like what the fuck?

<v Speaker 1>And Bronson Reid got hurt. I wouldn't mind. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they're not writing it off or they're gonna

<v Speaker 1>see this through until the end. But like if they seriously,

<v Speaker 1>if they were just gonna write it off by having

<v Speaker 1>some Rando show up and then never speak of the

<v Speaker 1>mass Man again, Like I would not be upset about that.

<v Speaker 1>I would not be upset about that. Like I think

<v Speaker 1>it's a sign from like the wrestling gods above that

<v Speaker 1>we just need to leave well enough alone with the

<v Speaker 1>Mystery Man shit. It's like it's so overdone and just

<v Speaker 1>move on from this, Like there are other ways that

<v Speaker 1>you can reintroduce Seth Rollins back to TV and have

<v Speaker 1>him go after what's left of the vision. There ain't

<v Speaker 1>much left of the vision, but like have him try

<v Speaker 1>to get retribution on the vision more than likely, though,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, how else is Logan Paul to be eliminated

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow if not by the mass Man? Right, we have

<v Speaker 1>to have the mass Man on the show tomorrow. But

<v Speaker 1>I just throw that out there, Like, would you be

<v Speaker 1>terribly upset if this was their way of writing.

<v Speaker 2>Off this stupid angle? I know I wouldn't be.

<v Speaker 1>But anyway, the one thing that I take solace in

<v Speaker 1>watching the end of this main event, and I'm not

<v Speaker 1>that upset that Jacob didn't win because he was not

<v Speaker 1>meant to be in it in the first place. They

<v Speaker 1>have set things up perfectly though, for Jacob Fatu to

<v Speaker 1>ultimately end up being a part of the WWE title

<v Speaker 1>match of WrestleMania. Like that much is clear. We are getting,

<v Speaker 1>at the very least a triple threat match of WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>You will not convince me otherwise. Doesn't make any sense.

<v Speaker 1>Doesn't make any sense otherwise that Jacob Fatu would take

<v Speaker 1>it on the chin twice the way that he has

<v Speaker 1>and not get rewarded, at least with an opportunity to

<v Speaker 1>work his way into the WWE Championship match of WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>even though he's not in the chamber. So what, it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, You got seven weeks of television coming up

<v Speaker 1>after this. I'm still waiting for the Road to wrestle

<v Speaker 1>Mania to truly feel like the Road to WrestleMania, and

<v Speaker 1>I am hoping once we get past the Elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>and they don't got to worry about promoting this show tomorrow,

<v Speaker 1>they can focus squarely on WrestleMania and we will start

<v Speaker 1>to really feel like, Okay, we're in WrestleMania mode now,

<v Speaker 1>because that's been missing from these shows. And I think

<v Speaker 1>part of the problem is that WrestleMania now is as

<v Speaker 1>late as it has ever been. It is is third

<v Speaker 1>week of April. It's never been that late before. They

<v Speaker 1>have more time now on television, and it's almost like

<v Speaker 1>sometimes it just feels like they don't know what to do.

<v Speaker 1>They have all of this television time, and it's like, Man,

<v Speaker 1>how are we going to fill all of this television time?

<v Speaker 2>You know?

<v Speaker 1>I mean they're kind of a victim of their own

<v Speaker 1>success sometimes, right. They have all these hours of television

<v Speaker 1>that they're given, and they just they don't know how

<v Speaker 1>to make the most of it. Like that show on

<v Speaker 1>Monday Night was egregiously bad. I've had people this week,

<v Speaker 1>some people, not a lot of people. I've had some

<v Speaker 1>people try to argue otherwise, like, oh, it wasn't a

<v Speaker 1>bad show, Like I don't know what the fuck you

<v Speaker 1>were watching, And don't give me the AJ style stuff. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>that came at the very end. I don't want to

<v Speaker 1>hear it. Like that show was egregiously bad and egregiously

<v Speaker 1>boring on Monday Night. This show was marchally better. I

<v Speaker 1>am waiting for this to feel like WrestleMania season. This

<v Speaker 1>is supposed to be the most exciting time of year

<v Speaker 1>in WWE. That's what I'm waiting to feel. I want it.

<v Speaker 1>I want there to be excitement in the air for

<v Speaker 1>what is supposed to be the biggest show of the year.

<v Speaker 1>And aj Styles was not wrong on Raw Recap when

<v Speaker 1>he said that WrestleMania has lost some of its luster.

<v Speaker 1>He was one hundred and ten percent correct in saying that.

<v Speaker 1>But even still, WrestleMania is still WrestleMania. You know, you

<v Speaker 1>want that to feel like this is the super Bowl,

<v Speaker 1>this is the World Series, right, this is the end

<v Speaker 1>all be all. Hopefully we'll start feeling that way coming

<v Speaker 1>out of this show tomorrow. That's my hope. As far

<v Speaker 1>as the rest of the show, again, the women's tag

<v Speaker 1>team match was the best match on the show. I

<v Speaker 1>thought that was good. The Sammy's Ain stuff is kind

<v Speaker 1>of interesting. We'll see where that goes. But beyond that,

<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot to get excited about. Let's take

<v Speaker 1>a look at the Twitter pol and see what you

<v Speaker 1>guys thought of SmackDown. Eh, forty six percent say, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I didn't use thumbs here have we have emojis? But

<v Speaker 1>forty six percent thumbs up and fifty four percent thumbs down. Dasius.

<v Speaker 1>I pronounced it dazzius as I have watched Raw a

<v Speaker 1>few times the past couple of years, past couple of years. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>bless you, I would say, I'm jealous. Probably a lot

<v Speaker 1>easier to digest that way anyway. Not a great score.

<v Speaker 1>Two losing scores here for Raw and SmackDown this week.

<v Speaker 1>You know what that means in terms of the polls.

<v Speaker 1>This week means Dynamite wins the day. What was the

<v Speaker 1>last time that happened. I don't know, it's been a while.

<v Speaker 1>You gotta get on this WrestleMania train and get things up.

<v Speaker 1>Five hundred and twelve likes, so we did hit the

<v Speaker 1>likes goal. You're very welcome. I try to I try

<v Speaker 1>to keep you in the loop when you watch for

<v Speaker 1>a couple of times over the in a two year span.

<v Speaker 1>I got to keep you in the loop somehow. So

<v Speaker 1>we got a bonus, a bonus run an intergender round

<v Speaker 1>tonight coming up, be the booker. Very exciting. We may

<v Speaker 1>have to do that again tomorrow. During the Elimination Chamber review,

<v Speaker 1>Dried Chicken Paramount is officially buying Warner Brothers after Netflix

<v Speaker 1>declines to raise the offer. What a turn of events. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I will have a lot to say about that on Sunday.

<v Speaker 1>You commit your ass about that, GMB. The Mft's versus

<v Speaker 1>the Wyats is the worst non main event feud since

<v Speaker 1>Triple H took over him and Rode Doug should be

<v Speaker 1>ashamed for dragging this trash ass feud. Well, I could

<v Speaker 1>not have said any better myself. I don't know why

<v Speaker 1>we're still doing this. I don't know why we're still

<v Speaker 1>doing this, Holiday says, I have an unfortunate feeling that

<v Speaker 1>this whole MFT versus Wyatt's feud is going to culminate

<v Speaker 1>in a match at WrestleMania for the WWE tag team titles,

<v Speaker 1>probably with a stipulation yawn. Why else are they dragging

<v Speaker 1>this out close to Mania. No, that's exactly why.

<v Speaker 2>They're doing it.

<v Speaker 1>It's pretty clear at this point. Maybe Sammy, he says,

<v Speaker 1>attack Jacob months ago. Sammy's motive could be jealousy seeing

<v Speaker 1>Jacob rising up the ranks rapidly and winning the world

<v Speaker 1>title before him.

<v Speaker 2>Could be.

<v Speaker 1>It could be Rick. No, it's not.

<v Speaker 2>No, it's not.

<v Speaker 1>And frankly, even Netflix getting it would have been bad too.

<v Speaker 1>This is all terrible, all around. Nobody should be supporting this.

<v Speaker 1>Prince begeta ninety five Happy thirtieth anniversary to one of

<v Speaker 1>my favorite video game franchises, Pokemon. Thirty years ago today,

<v Speaker 1>Pokemon Red and Green were released in Japan. I'm even

<v Speaker 1>gaming right now on my switch to while watching the

<v Speaker 1>stream Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green. I didn't know they

<v Speaker 1>had colored Pokemon games. Did they have a Pokemon Blue?

<v Speaker 1>I did not know that Venom catetsua. Which wrestler would

<v Speaker 1>you cast as yourself for Solo Monster the movie? Would

<v Speaker 1>you have multiple wrestlers for different phases of your life?

<v Speaker 1>I mean, why can't I play myself? I'd like to

<v Speaker 1>play myself. That way I can get paid for playing myself.

<v Speaker 1>Who would play me in a movie? That's a good question.

<v Speaker 1>Who would play me in a movie? Well, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>if I believe all you guys, it would be fucking

<v Speaker 1>Jack Swagger playing me. Just get just get Jake Hager

<v Speaker 1>to blame me in a movie. Apparently you can't tell

<v Speaker 1>me apart. Jeez, Orange Cassidy, this is a good one. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Orange Cassidy would work. Holiday says last week's SmackDown was

<v Speaker 1>a vacuum of boredom and one of the worst SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>shows I've seen. Real slog to get through Tonight's show

<v Speaker 1>wasn't much of an improvement. The US Title Open Challenge

<v Speaker 1>was the only decent thing. Yeah, and the US Open

<v Speaker 1>Challenge is kind of petering out there. Even that is

<v Speaker 1>starting to peter out. Unfortunately, I knew it would happen.

<v Speaker 1>Bobert reviews, thank you for the thirty five dollars. Rob,

<v Speaker 1>you are awesome, brother, Thank you number one. Almost Sapien says,

<v Speaker 1>what's up, Solo? What kind of jokes do chickens tell

<v Speaker 1>egg yolks? Well, I mean it was certainly an attempt.

<v Speaker 1>You did try. I'll give you credit for trying. Morris

<v Speaker 1>says you need to watch Athena and Shuri and Andrade

<v Speaker 1>and Yotasuji. It's right, I forgot. There's a New Beginning

<v Speaker 1>New Beginning US A show tonight that New Japan did

<v Speaker 1>out in Long Beach. I will have to see if

<v Speaker 1>I could find a way to check that out. Thank

<v Speaker 1>you more. Jeremy Rose, I am what does he say?

<v Speaker 1>I'm this era of deaf rebel generic ass theme songs.

<v Speaker 1>I think you left out a word there, brother. How

<v Speaker 1>does almost every Samoan have a banger entrance, Roman, j Solo, Jacob,

<v Speaker 1>even Jimmy. Do they have their own side producer? They might,

<v Speaker 1>They just might. Bobby's Rorel says. Week one of management

<v Speaker 1>training in the books, slow start due to various obstacles,

<v Speaker 1>but ended up ahead of schedule. Regional trainer was impressed

<v Speaker 1>with my progress looking forward to week two. Well, I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure you're gonna kill it in week two. I'm glad

<v Speaker 1>week one went well and hopefully week two goes better

<v Speaker 1>and week three goes even better than that. Thank you, brother.

<v Speaker 1>MGM Ballin with the nine to ninety nine says, what

<v Speaker 1>would it take to get Tony Soprano in be the Booker?

<v Speaker 1>You never had the makings of a varsity athlete, But

<v Speaker 1>maybe he's got the makings of a be the Booker

<v Speaker 1>main Eventor he's done a mean curb stump before. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what you get for making a pass

<v Speaker 1>at the man's daughter. I can't say I had too

<v Speaker 1>much sympathy for that man. You know are there are

<v Speaker 1>two curb stomp scenes that I still just I WinCE

<v Speaker 1>just thinking about it. That's one of them, and the

<v Speaker 1>other one is Edward Norton in American History X if

<v Speaker 1>you know you know Jay Williams with a nineteen ninety

<v Speaker 1>nine and I shit you not. I was watching Sonic three.

<v Speaker 1>I'm scrolling through Reddit to see how things went, and

<v Speaker 1>I laughed my ass off to see another mystery angle.

<v Speaker 1>It's all they know how to do. When you have

<v Speaker 1>no other ideas, you just go to the mystery angle

<v Speaker 1>and you just beat that horse until it's dead and

<v Speaker 1>it's not drawing breath anymore from its lungs. Retro says

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany's boyfriend is Egyptian. Keep him away from Rick Flair

<v Speaker 1>Charlotte two for that matter. I believe he is.

<v Speaker 2>I believe he is Egyptian.

<v Speaker 1>I believe he's in NXT at the Performance Center. Wwe

<v Speaker 1>Iceman just getting back from New Japan's New Beginning in Trenton.

<v Speaker 1>Show Trenton. I thought they were in Long Beach. Long

<v Speaker 1>Beach and Trenton are not the same place. Are you

<v Speaker 1>sure it was in Trenton? Matam, Why do I think

<v Speaker 1>it was in Long Beach? Says very solid show much

<v Speaker 1>loves Solo. Thank you, Luis. You should add me to

<v Speaker 1>be the book. Yeah, but if I do that, it

<v Speaker 1>would be an automatic buzz every time I land on you, though,

<v Speaker 1>I don't want that, Boots. Look at this with a

<v Speaker 1>pair of tens, a trio. I didn't even see the

<v Speaker 1>third one. Here a trio of tens says Bruno Mars

<v Speaker 1>has a terrible singing voice. I believe his name. I

<v Speaker 1>think he got his name from Bruno San Martino. I

<v Speaker 1>guess his parents maybe were fans of Bruno. I think

<v Speaker 1>he's told that story before that there is that wrestling

<v Speaker 1>connection to how he got his name. Uh, Sidro, Why

<v Speaker 1>did the Dali Lama go to Vegas? Why did the

<v Speaker 1>Dali Lama go to Vegas? Tibet, son of a bitch,

<v Speaker 1>and I ordered a vault and a speaker off Amazon.

<v Speaker 1>They arrived safe and sound. So the PS getting the

<v Speaker 1>new Resident Evil. I'm not planning on it. I just

<v Speaker 1>found out today that there is a he Man in

<v Speaker 1>the Masters of the Universe game that is coming to Steam.

<v Speaker 1>I believe April twenty eighth, and I think I will

<v Speaker 1>be all over that Boots with another ten man. Boots

<v Speaker 1>is killing it. Boots say, you gotta save some love

<v Speaker 1>for the Chamber review tomorrow, hoping for big things tomorrow night.

<v Speaker 1>It's a big show. Thank you, Boots, Bass Bears, says

<v Speaker 1>Samoan Chin Music. Robert Peterson with an nineteen ninety nine says, Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Solomonser big fans. In twenty eighteen, I just want to

<v Speaker 1>say that it's pretty sad there's no hype for WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>this year, and AW has been very good to start

<v Speaker 1>the year off. It feels like twenty nineteen. I just

<v Speaker 1>hope WWE can deliver. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm

<v Speaker 1>leaving AW out of it completely. I mean, WWE just

<v Speaker 1>they got to get something going here. I mean, I'm

<v Speaker 1>just waiting. I'm just waiting for the excitement to kick in.

<v Speaker 1>I hope they can do it. It'll make the shows

<v Speaker 1>more fun to review, unless they're really bad, and then

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you guys will love those reviews just the same.

<v Speaker 1>But when it's in the middle and it's just kind

<v Speaker 1>of boring and dull, it's like there's no you know,

<v Speaker 1>where's the fun in? That? Was that show today? Really?

<v Speaker 1>And Trent and I don't know why. I thought it

<v Speaker 1>was in Long Beach. I thought for sure. I thought

<v Speaker 1>for sure. On the New Japan side it said it

<v Speaker 1>was in Long Beach. Thank you, Martin. Same to you,

<v Speaker 1>Josh Williams, years long fan here. So though, how about

<v Speaker 1>Cody wins the chamberge just for Randy to end the

<v Speaker 1>show with an RKO and a punk kick to set

<v Speaker 1>up a fatal four way at Mania. I mean that's

<v Speaker 1>literally what I laid out on the sound off this weekend.

<v Speaker 1>So I like the way you think unless you heard

<v Speaker 1>it on the sound off. But yes, I pitched Cody

<v Speaker 1>winning and then Randy dropping him with an RKO if

<v Speaker 1>not also a pun kick, and then we end up

<v Speaker 1>getting a fatal four waight WrestleMania. That's exactly what I pitched.

<v Speaker 1>Right now, it feels like a triple threat is all

<v Speaker 1>but guaranteed, But that doesn't mean they can't get to

<v Speaker 1>a four way unless they really are thinking about doing

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton and Alistair Black, you know, one on one

<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania, which I mean, I guess they could do.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Black beat him last week and so Randy

<v Speaker 1>could get his win back. But it's like, eh, is

<v Speaker 1>that a WrestleMania match? Ah?

<v Speaker 2>Okay, it was.

<v Speaker 1>It was in Trenton. There was a g one taking

<v Speaker 1>place in Long Beach. I see, okay, Well I was

<v Speaker 1>way off those two places aren't even close to each other. Uh, toya,

<v Speaker 1>toya ain't nice. The Internet said, the mass man is

<v Speaker 1>a student of Seth at his wrestling school. His name

<v Speaker 1>is Don Furio. No, it's not his wrestling name, right,

<v Speaker 1>not his real name. I thought you were saying his

<v Speaker 1>real name is Don Furia' is like something right out

<v Speaker 1>of the Sopranos.

<v Speaker 2>I want to whack this guy up.

<v Speaker 1>You gotta go talk to Don Furio first, you get

<v Speaker 1>his blessing, then you can whack the guy. Sidro just

<v Speaker 1>found out. Al Gore is a great dancer. It's all

<v Speaker 1>in his al Gore rhythm.

<v Speaker 2>Al Go rhythm.

<v Speaker 1>And how do you describe a potato that has completed

<v Speaker 1>class in school? Tater taught suck.

<v Speaker 2>That was bad. That was a bad one.

<v Speaker 1>Chicago for MBK spinning, Samoan should be used by Zilla Fontu. Well,

<v Speaker 1>he's got his own boots. But maybe I'll maybe I'll

<v Speaker 1>share that with him when I see him in Chicago.

<v Speaker 2>We'll see.

<v Speaker 1>Retro, says Uncle Howdie. Versus Samoa Joe was Solo's favorite

<v Speaker 1>match tonight. I wish we had Samoa Joe on this show.

<v Speaker 1>That's what the show is missing. This show was missing

<v Speaker 1>Samoa Joe Sidrow warning, don't order Hay for the Horse

<v Speaker 1>on Amazon. A few days later they'll ask for your

<v Speaker 1>feed back. And what do you call a smoking hot

<v Speaker 1>lesbian LGBBQ.

<v Speaker 2>I just don't know where he comes up with these.

<v Speaker 1>Bes, Beer says who wins in a shoot? Oba Femi

<v Speaker 1>or Farouk?

<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>You know Ron Simmons, I mean, he's probably still tough today,

<v Speaker 1>but he was a tough guy back in the day.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not betting against Ron Simmons and I'll leave it

<v Speaker 1>at that. We got Devin from NJ. How was Piper

<v Speaker 1>able to get out of jobbing to Hogan? He laid

<v Speaker 1>down the law and said, I'm not doing it. As

<v Speaker 1>simple as that, Vince wasn't gonna get rid of him.

<v Speaker 1>Piper was very valuable to the company, and I don't

<v Speaker 1>know how he got it. Wasn't just Hogan like he

<v Speaker 1>just he didn't do jobs for hardly anybody. That's the

<v Speaker 1>better question. How did he get out of doing jobs

<v Speaker 1>for all the other people he didn't do jobs for?

<v Speaker 1>Big Hoss says Rhea wins the title. Bianca returns as

<v Speaker 1>a heel for Rhea, efing her up and injuring her

<v Speaker 1>SummerSlam main event, pulled the trigger. I'd be down for that.

<v Speaker 1>That'd be a big match to do too at SummerSlam.

<v Speaker 1>Bass Bears has pass the duchy to left hands past

<v Speaker 1>the Dutch.

<v Speaker 2>What's a duchy?

<v Speaker 1>A duchy past the duchy to left hand side? The

<v Speaker 1>hell is that? Grapple nomics Ria, Jade or Charlotte and Alexa.

<v Speaker 1>Nobody is better than Alexa at Women's Psychology.

<v Speaker 2>I'm bliss fan.

<v Speaker 1>I think we found your burner account here. Big Hoss

<v Speaker 1>Trick versus Randy versus Cody versus Drew, versus Sammy versus

<v Speaker 1>fa Tu Helen is sell match a WrestleMania No, Nope,

<v Speaker 1>Chicago for MBK, Johnny Gargano's new finishing move, Cringe City

<v Speaker 1>maybe unemployed City soon. Sorry to say, Peter nasty Eo

<v Speaker 1>versus Julia at Mania or Backlash. I mean if not

<v Speaker 1>at Mania, I would wait until Clash in Italy and

<v Speaker 1>do it there. Holiday says. The only thing that can

<v Speaker 1>make me mildly interested in an MFT why is WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>match would be to do it inside Helen a cell

<v Speaker 1>five on five with the tag belts defended. It would

<v Speaker 1>be a mess, but multiman helen a Cell matches don't

<v Speaker 1>come around often. Does this feud really warrant helen a

<v Speaker 1>Cell like it would be the least interested I've been

<v Speaker 1>in a helen a Cell match in years. It's maybe

<v Speaker 1>the only way to get people really super interested in

<v Speaker 1>it would be to dress it up with a big

<v Speaker 1>stipulation like that. I don't disagree, but I just I

<v Speaker 1>don't have any interest in that. I would not waste

<v Speaker 1>a helen a Cell stipulation on this. It just seems

<v Speaker 1>like a waste of the stip Bace Bears says, we

<v Speaker 1>want good booking, Yes we do, Yes we do. San

<v Speaker 1>Juan Wolf with a nine ninety nine. I read something

<v Speaker 1>on Twitter saying the now unmasked mystery Men was one

<v Speaker 1>of Seth Rolin's students from his wrestling school. Maybe it

<v Speaker 1>will lead to something in the mass Man storyline. I

<v Speaker 1>just think it was just a decoy throwing us off,

<v Speaker 1>but not really until the actual reveal happens, which could

<v Speaker 1>be as early as tomorrow, it will probably be Rollin's

<v Speaker 1>in the end, whether or not he mentions that that

<v Speaker 1>guy was his student. I don't think this guy's ever

<v Speaker 1>going to be mentioned again. Honestly, I don't think he'll

<v Speaker 1>ever be mentioned again if that's true. I think it

<v Speaker 1>was just him doing a solid for his student and saying, hey,

<v Speaker 1>we got a roll for you on the show, and

<v Speaker 1>the guy's like awesome. I don't think it's actually gonna

<v Speaker 1>lead to anything. Zach RAINA random question for you, whatever

<v Speaker 1>happens to Shinskin Amora. Do you ever expect him to

<v Speaker 1>have a whatever happened? Whatever happened to him? Are we

<v Speaker 1>talking like in the broader context, or he's been around?

<v Speaker 1>This was actually the first week I think on SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>that he hasn't been on the show in quite some time.

<v Speaker 1>But uh, what happened to him? I mean, you know,

<v Speaker 1>his goose was cooked the year he got called up

<v Speaker 1>to the main roster when he lost twice on pay

<v Speaker 1>per view to Gender Mahal and couldn't win the championship.

<v Speaker 1>That was it. He was never the same after that,

<v Speaker 1>and then I think over the years he just got

<v Speaker 1>very comfortable, and you know, he's obviously content being there.

<v Speaker 1>He gets paid well and he can surf and do photography.

<v Speaker 1>Apparently he likes photography, and it's like, okay, you know

<v Speaker 1>that's it. You know, they just they were never they

<v Speaker 1>were never going to push him to a level that.

<v Speaker 1>I think people when they saw him in New Japan

<v Speaker 1>and even in NXT were hoping that he would get

<v Speaker 1>to on the main roster. And when he failed against

<v Speaker 1>gender Hall and then he feuded with aj Styles and

<v Speaker 1>he didn't win there either, at that point, it's like

<v Speaker 1>he ain't holding that title. Like he has hit his

<v Speaker 1>ceiling as far as how high he will go in

<v Speaker 1>this company, and he's he's content with it. You know,

<v Speaker 1>he shows up to work, he does what he's told,

<v Speaker 1>and that's it. Electric feel with a ten dollars super chat.

<v Speaker 1>I would love to see a Sammy realization moment where

<v Speaker 1>he realizes Kevin Owens was right about Cody. Would give

<v Speaker 1>Ko something to do while he's waiting to be cleared

<v Speaker 1>eventually too. Yeah, I would love to know like how

<v Speaker 1>far along he is. I don't get the sense he's

<v Speaker 1>coming back anytime soon, but if he was, let's say,

<v Speaker 1>in like the next few months, potentially going to be

<v Speaker 1>able to make a comeback, the timing would actually work

<v Speaker 1>out really well for that Mystic Jay. Have you noticed

<v Speaker 1>that despite the bed bucking for Julia, she's actually had

<v Speaker 1>more matches than Stephanie. I'm the main roster m Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you know what, I guess that would be true. Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>really has not wrestled very often. Cameron Spencer Trick versus

<v Speaker 1>Sammy versus Orton versus Cody versus Drew and Fatu MAINI

<v Speaker 1>a six pack challenge, No, you do not. If you're

<v Speaker 1>gonna have a multiman match, no more than four four

<v Speaker 1>is the absolute cap. I would not have any more

<v Speaker 1>than that in that match, He says, Omas versus Oba.

<v Speaker 1>That'll improve fan excitement? Are you down for that? Oba

<v Speaker 1>versus Omas will improve fan excitement?

<v Speaker 2>No, it won't.

<v Speaker 1>How do you figure that? Let Omas keep doing his

<v Speaker 1>thing in Triple A. The stuff he's been doing down

<v Speaker 1>there with Vi Kingo apparently it's getting over well, and

<v Speaker 1>let him keep doing that. Prince Vegeta says, there's Pokemon blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal, ruby. Wow,

<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of them here. Okay, Well that answers

<v Speaker 1>my question. I just I didn't give a shit about

<v Speaker 1>all these other colors. I just wanted to know if

<v Speaker 1>there was a Pokemon blue. You answered my question. Bass

<v Speaker 1>Beers says ass Blossom or ash blosso I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I think I might like the other one better. Ash Blossom,

<v Speaker 1>what is that supposed to be? People are weird? CMJ

<v Speaker 1>World Scream seven not worth it? Well, that's disappointing to hear.

<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about saying that. Cameron says Black versus

<v Speaker 1>Priest feud needs to continue because it needs a Hell

<v Speaker 1>and a Cell ending in media. Then they can team

<v Speaker 1>up and form Ministry twenty twenty six. Are you down

<v Speaker 1>for that? Cameron? I love you, brother, but you're oer

<v Speaker 1>for two on these ideas. I have no interest in

<v Speaker 1>seeing that Black versus Priest had their ending in the

<v Speaker 1>ambulance match. They I don't want to see them in

<v Speaker 1>the ring, honestly, like ever again, let them go off

<v Speaker 1>and do different things. I have no interest in another

<v Speaker 1>match between them. They ended it, it's over, it's done,

<v Speaker 1>it is time to move on. I didn't, and to

<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, maybe I'm in the minority on this.

<v Speaker 1>I've always said this. I mean, the faction itself whatever.

<v Speaker 1>I wasn't really a big fan of it, but like

<v Speaker 1>Ministry Undertaker least favorite version of the Undertaker, not a

<v Speaker 1>fan of the Ministry stuff retro Koh, why should you

<v Speaker 1>knock before opening the fridge. There could be a salad dressing.

<v Speaker 1>Not bad, not bad. You know, though, as bad as

<v Speaker 1>you say, Scream seven was, apparently it had it might

<v Speaker 1>have been the biggest opening for a Scream movie. I

<v Speaker 1>think it made like forty million dollars or something domestically

<v Speaker 1>in its first weekend. So you know what that means.

<v Speaker 1>We're getting a Scream eight. You make forty million dollars,

<v Speaker 1>You're getting a Scream. Eate and bes beers. Jade not

<v Speaker 1>defending is not doing her any favors. I think it's

<v Speaker 1>it's a combination of things. I think it's the division

<v Speaker 1>just needs an overhaul number one, and so many of

<v Speaker 1>the women are currently wrapped up in the tag team scene.

<v Speaker 1>But also I think it's just a clear lack of

<v Speaker 1>faith and trust in her ability to go out there

<v Speaker 1>with certain people who aren't of a certain experience level.

<v Speaker 1>I think it just boils down to that they don't

<v Speaker 1>want to put her in a situation where she's gonna

<v Speaker 1>end up looking bad. You know, they're trying to craft

<v Speaker 1>an image of her in a certain way, and it

<v Speaker 1>does her no good to go in there with somebody

<v Speaker 1>who you know she may end up looking bad being

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with horror fan Craig Hey solo Monster.

<v Speaker 1>Do you think they shock us tomorrow and have Drew

<v Speaker 1>screw Cody again and have someone else win the chamber tomorrow?

<v Speaker 1>I think I'm fatigued with Drew McIntyre screwing people. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>my god, he screws more people than a fucking Vegas hooker.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, what are we doing here? How many times

<v Speaker 1>are we gonna see Drew McIntyre screw somebody. I'm gonna

<v Speaker 1>start to get jealous if I'm his wife, I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to see that. Andre Jefferson. We find out on

<v Speaker 1>Raw that Jay was attacked by the New Day because

<v Speaker 1>he was more worried about the World Heavyweight title than

<v Speaker 1>defending the tag titles. Oh man, that's that's a bad

<v Speaker 1>idea too. What is with these ideas today? The New Day? No,

<v Speaker 1>it can't be that, by the way, I love that,

<v Speaker 1>But Xavier Woods is walking around with his arm and

<v Speaker 1>his sling with a bad shoulder. He's not attacking anybody.

<v Speaker 1>Link Master Acts, Buy or Sell, Valvenus or Fandango. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>can I say none of the above. If you forced

<v Speaker 1>me to choose, I'll go Fandango also Link Master Ministry

<v Speaker 1>Undertaker had an excellent theme song. His theme song was

<v Speaker 1>very good. His theme song was very good. The Gimmick

<v Speaker 1>though no good. May's the great with fifty five months

<v Speaker 1>of channel membership. Look at this guy solo, you know better.

<v Speaker 1>Having hope for WWE most times is like having hope

<v Speaker 1>for the Mets or the Bruise. You know what can happen,

<v Speaker 1>but ninety seven percent of the time you know it won't. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>but that doesn't mean that you give up hope. You

<v Speaker 1>must cling to hope. Holiday says the first two acts

<v Speaker 1>of Scream seven are good, but the final act is

<v Speaker 1>a let down with bad writing. Wasn't Kevin Williamson back

<v Speaker 1>for this movie? Nev Campbell was back. That's terrible, very

<v Speaker 1>disappointing to hear this. Well, whatever, I'm waiting for the

<v Speaker 1>Mortal Kombat movie. I did see the trailer, the new

<v Speaker 1>trailer that dropped the other day. I'm very excited for that.

<v Speaker 1>That's coming out. I believe in May. And then Masters

<v Speaker 1>of the Universe on June fifth. I'm gonna be like

<v Speaker 1>a little kid again. And then I guess a street

<v Speaker 1>Fighter is what September October we got a bunch of

<v Speaker 1>movies to go see, and then I didn't even realize

<v Speaker 1>they're making a Toy Story five. Apparently that's coming out soon. Also,

<v Speaker 1>I think possibly June. I'll have to see that as well.

<v Speaker 1>I know I'm gonna find time for all these movies.

<v Speaker 2>Anyway.

<v Speaker 1>I think that is. I think all of your messages here,

<v Speaker 1>thank you. We do have a be the Booker to

<v Speaker 1>get to because you guys did smash the goal tonight.

<v Speaker 1>We are up to five hundred and seventy one likes

<v Speaker 1>and we got a bonus intergender round which is gonna

<v Speaker 1>be very interesting. And again I made updates to men's

<v Speaker 1>be the booker. So with that being said, let's get

<v Speaker 1>into it. It's time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 3>A gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Wait a minute, Godzilla

<v Speaker 1>minus zero is coming out this year. I actually went

<v Speaker 1>to the theater to see Minus w I didn't realize

<v Speaker 1>Minus zero is coming out this year. I did not

<v Speaker 1>know that. Solo. If you didn't have the podcast or

<v Speaker 1>this channel, would you still watch wrestling today?

<v Speaker 2>No comment?

<v Speaker 1>All? Right, here we go, tag team, be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>Here we go, let's see what we got. We got

<v Speaker 1>some chronic. Who wants some chronic everybody? I could use

<v Speaker 1>some chronic watching these shows. We got Brian Adams and

<v Speaker 1>Brian Clark. They did not have a very successful run

<v Speaker 1>in WWE. I think they did decently in WCW. But

<v Speaker 1>once they went over to WWE during the Invasion Angle,

<v Speaker 1>I think they had one match. I think it was

<v Speaker 1>their match against the Undertaker and Kane and that was it.

<v Speaker 1>Be kind of funny if we like that on Undertaker

<v Speaker 1>and Kane here, well, that's definitely not Undertaker and Kane.

<v Speaker 1>That is the Gun Club, Austin and Colton gunn against Chronic. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>not a good start. We can definitely do better than that.

<v Speaker 1>Women's be the booker. Can we book a better match

<v Speaker 1>than Jordan Grace against Candice Larray tonight? Sonya Deville, well,

<v Speaker 1>this is going to really depend on who we're putting

<v Speaker 1>her in the ring with. Here, Sonya Deville against Ivy Nile.

<v Speaker 1>We're on quite a role here, quite a role. It's

<v Speaker 1>not looking good, guys, it's not looking good tonight. We've

<v Speaker 1>got to do something about this. It's already over. Well,

<v Speaker 1>it's not over yet, because we're doing an intergender match,

<v Speaker 1>we could at least break even tonight. All right, men's

<v Speaker 1>be the booker with all the new updates that I

<v Speaker 1>put in here. There is the WWE champion. He's taking

<v Speaker 1>a break from screwing to wrestle a match. Drew McIntyre

<v Speaker 1>is in our men's main event, and he will be

<v Speaker 1>wrestling the reigning CMLL Heavyweight Champion, Claudio casting Noli. Finally

<v Speaker 1>we got a real match McIntyre and Claudio sign me

<v Speaker 1>the fuck up champion versus champion, even title for title.

<v Speaker 1>There's a main event for you that is a that

<v Speaker 1>is indeed a banger. All right, so we got one

<v Speaker 1>more man. I've got a bonus match tonight. Now it's

<v Speaker 1>gonna be someone from women's be the booker against someone

<v Speaker 1>from men's be the booker. So this is very very

<v Speaker 1>exciting here. We'll pick the woman first. We could break

<v Speaker 1>even if we get one more bell, we'll at least

<v Speaker 1>break even tonight. Then we could try to do better

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night on the Elimination Chamber review. All Right, we

<v Speaker 1>got Mighty Molly. I like Molly, Mighty Molly. Something else

<v Speaker 1>I could use during these SmackDown shows, some Chronic and

<v Speaker 1>some Mollie. All right, Mighty Molly is going to be

<v Speaker 1>taken on Penta. All right, This is like Luca Underground.

<v Speaker 1>Penta had those great matches with Chelsea Green, with EO

<v Speaker 1>Sky Kyrie. I believe that Penta and Molly would be

<v Speaker 1>able to go out and have a very good match.

<v Speaker 1>So we were able to break even tonight. It was

<v Speaker 1>not a total loss. It ended up okay, Solo passed

<v Speaker 1>the chronic. I can't. I've used it all. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to be up all night now. Reclusa should be added

<v Speaker 1>to be the booker. Not a bad idea. It's actually

<v Speaker 1>not a bad idea. So I have changes now that

<v Speaker 1>I have to make to or updates to Women's be

<v Speaker 1>the booker and tag team be the booker. And then

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to start working on some of the other

<v Speaker 1>ideas that I've had. I got all kinds of ideas

<v Speaker 1>in my head. We're definitely going to add intergender as

<v Speaker 1>one of the new stipulations for when we do the

<v Speaker 1>stipulation rounds, so we'll do that. Go's some other steps

<v Speaker 1>to throw in there, and I want to do I

<v Speaker 1>want to do a manager's round. I got all these ideas.

<v Speaker 1>Navy forty one says WrestleMania minus zero. Yes, that's what

<v Speaker 1>we're getting this year. We're getting wrestle Mania minus zero.

<v Speaker 1>It's a good way to put it. And Devin says, buy, rent,

<v Speaker 1>and sell on these WCW runs, Brett Hart, Randy Savage,

<v Speaker 1>and Bobby Heenan. I'm gonna buy on Randy Savage. I

<v Speaker 1>think his was the most successful run. And I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to rent on Bobby Heenan, and I'm gonna sell on

<v Speaker 1>Brett Hart. As much of a Brett fan as I was,

<v Speaker 1>I was not a fan of his WCW run. Bobby

<v Speaker 1>was pretty well checked out there by the end. But

<v Speaker 1>I do feel like he was still like he was

<v Speaker 1>still Bobby, like when he first came into WCW and

<v Speaker 1>then in the early days of the nWo stuff, you know,

<v Speaker 1>the way that he would always sell like the fear

<v Speaker 1>and anxiety, and like he was a big part I

<v Speaker 1>think of helping to get that angle over, like on commentary.

<v Speaker 1>So for Bobby at least, it wasn't like a total loss.

<v Speaker 1>But like I just I can't look at Brettthard's WCW

<v Speaker 1>running outside of the l Dandy stuff and him talking

<v Speaker 1>about his fucking cat. I can't really say there was

<v Speaker 1>much else about it that I'm really a big fan of.

<v Speaker 1>Takes a lot to fuck out Brett Hart, but they

<v Speaker 1>found a way to do it anyway. Thank you guys

<v Speaker 1>for hanging out with me and making this review, as

<v Speaker 1>we usually do, more fun than the actual show. Tomorrow

<v Speaker 1>night is the elimination chamber, and I am going to

<v Speaker 1>be live during the chamber. That's who's in the crate dancing?

<v Speaker 1>Sammy's ain is in the crate. I don't know what

<v Speaker 1>would you be mad about that if Sammy's ain came

<v Speaker 1>out of the crate dancing, I don't know. It might

<v Speaker 1>be better than the actual reveal that we get. Why

<v Speaker 1>is there a fucking helicopter over my house?

<v Speaker 2>That's weird?

<v Speaker 1>And there's Vatos sting Cameron Spencer with a four ninety

<v Speaker 1>nine puts this ain't in the Vision, which will lead

<v Speaker 1>to a wargames match between New Vision against Seth Breaker

<v Speaker 1>and Reed a Vision Civil War. Yeah, that's too close

<v Speaker 1>to like a bloodline mft's civil War. I mean you're

<v Speaker 1>looking at war games, you're looking at the end of

<v Speaker 1>the year. A lot can happen between now and the

<v Speaker 1>end of the year. I don't want a Wargames match

<v Speaker 1>between Vision one and Vision two. That Wargames match doesn't

<v Speaker 1>excite me. If they finally caught Sola, they'll never catch

<v Speaker 1>me alive. I got my bag packed. If they're looking

<v Speaker 1>for me, I'll be gone before they even know it. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is. This is like a

<v Speaker 1>constant weekly occurrence where, for whatever reason, in this area,

<v Speaker 1>there's just these these helicopter flyovers and they'll just kind

<v Speaker 1>of like hang around long enough where like everything vibrates,

<v Speaker 1>and then it'll be gone, and then they'll come back,

<v Speaker 1>and then they'll be gone. This is lug every week.

<v Speaker 1>It's annoying as shit, and I have no idea what

<v Speaker 1>they're doing. I don't know what they're looking for. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what the purpose of any of it is.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, this has been for months the feds. Feds

<v Speaker 1>are watching Solo and this house could be bugged. All

<v Speaker 1>they gotta do is watch the stream. They don't have

<v Speaker 1>to bug anything. It's all on here. I'm live with you, guys.

<v Speaker 1>They're watching me. Well, as long as they hit the

<v Speaker 1>like button they want to send a super chat and

<v Speaker 1>more than Welcome to link Master. Woke up this morning,

<v Speaker 1>got some gabba ghoul. It's all look gonna get a

<v Speaker 1>knock on his door midstream? Is all that drug talk? See,

<v Speaker 1>I blame you, guys. It's all your fault. You had

<v Speaker 1>to be talking about chronic Molly Duchy eas whatever the

<v Speaker 1>fuck that is. Now I got the Feds flying over

<v Speaker 1>my house. This is all your fault. Well, hopefully I'll

<v Speaker 1>be available for an Elimination Chamber review tomorrow and I

<v Speaker 1>won't be locked up, and Sunday will be episode nine

<v Speaker 1>fifty three of the SoundOff. Have I ever been to

<v Speaker 1>a bodega? I live in New York. Of course I've

<v Speaker 1>been to a bodega. I always love a good bodega

<v Speaker 1>cat that always puts a smile on my face. Stream

<v Speaker 1>from jail, would they even allow that? I hope they

<v Speaker 1>got some good Wi Fi in jail. So yeah, just

<v Speaker 1>to remind you guys, next Friday, I will not be here.

<v Speaker 1>I will be in Chicago. If I am allowed out

<v Speaker 1>of the state of New York. I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>I'm being monitored, but I will be in Chicago for

<v Speaker 1>House of Glory. So hopefully you have tickets to the show.

<v Speaker 1>Because we are already sold out. Actually we're not. The

<v Speaker 1>seats are sold out, but we still have some general

<v Speaker 1>admission and I think they're only twenty five bucks for

<v Speaker 1>general admissions. So we're gonna be at Logan Square Auditorium

<v Speaker 1>for Turf Wars House of Glory Turf Wars streaming on

<v Speaker 1>Triller TV of course, with myself and JD on the call.
