<v Speaker 1>What is going on, guys? It is another Monday night.

<v Speaker 1>I am the solom Monster. This was the final raw

<v Speaker 1>tonight before Backlash. It feels like wrestle Mania. Just then.

<v Speaker 1>We already have another ple coming up this weekend, so

<v Speaker 1>this was the go home We're all before the show

<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, and they really are giving us a five

<v Speaker 1>match card. I thought maybe there was a chance they

<v Speaker 1>would add a new match tonight, Women's World title match,

<v Speaker 1>Women's Intercontinental title match, lest they do it after the fact,

<v Speaker 1>there was no hint of that. So we're gonna get

<v Speaker 1>five matches on Saturday, and we know that at least one,

<v Speaker 1>very likely two matches are going to be taking place

<v Speaker 1>on the ESPN hour. ESPN two will be simulcasting the

<v Speaker 1>first hour of the show. If it follows the same

<v Speaker 1>pattern of WrestleMania both nights, we'll get two matches in

<v Speaker 1>that first hour. That would mean that we would have

<v Speaker 1>three matches for the remainder of the show, which technically

<v Speaker 1>means that if you do not have ESPN Unlimited for free,

<v Speaker 1>as some of us don't, that means that you would

<v Speaker 1>be paying thirty dollars for three matches, and so that

<v Speaker 1>breaks down to ten bucks per match. Now, do you

<v Speaker 1>think that they will even give Eo Sky an Oscar

<v Speaker 1>ten minutes on the show. We should take bets on this.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not even sure they're going to get ten minutes

<v Speaker 1>for their match. You would think on a five match

<v Speaker 1>card that wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not convinced

<v Speaker 1>of that. Tonight we had a contract signing for the

<v Speaker 1>main event on Saturday. It will be a World Heavyweight

<v Speaker 1>Championship match. Roman Reigns defends his title against Jacob Fatu. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I am well aware that half the show will be adds. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I know it was a rhetorical question. Well, Eo and

<v Speaker 1>Oscar get ten minutes, Probably not think about it. Ten

<v Speaker 1>bucks per match is what it breaks down to. It's insane,

<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. It's Craig Cray, Roman and Jacob Fatu. Though

<v Speaker 1>they were in the closing segment tonight as they were

<v Speaker 1>last week. Tonight they signed the contract for their World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship match, and it ended again with Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>being put down. Now second week in a row that

<v Speaker 1>he has been put down by Jacob Fatu. Probably doesn't

<v Speaker 1>bode well for Jacob fa two on Saturday, now does it.

<v Speaker 1>We also on this show had the start of the

<v Speaker 1>Oba Femi Open Challenge. This was the open challenge that

<v Speaker 1>he talked about last week. It commenced tonight. Doesn't look

<v Speaker 1>like Becky Lynch is going to be continuing hers, which

<v Speaker 1>is good. You don't want to have dueling open challenges

<v Speaker 1>on the same show. So we'll talk about how things

<v Speaker 1>went there. Soul Ruka signed her Raw contract officially now

<v Speaker 1>a member of the Raw roster, and kicked off what

<v Speaker 1>looks to be her first feud, which I actually am

<v Speaker 1>very happy with and it will not be what Liv Morgan.

<v Speaker 1>On the whole, I thought it was a solid show.

<v Speaker 1>There were some boring stuff on the show. It was

<v Speaker 1>a mixed bag. It was not all good, But I

<v Speaker 1>think on the whole it was solid. I appreciate the

<v Speaker 1>fact that it actually ended early. Tonight didn't even go

<v Speaker 1>to ten thirty. I think by my clock it was

<v Speaker 1>over by ten eighteen. And it's somebody who has to

<v Speaker 1>sit here and suffer through three hours of SmackDown every week.

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate when Raw doesn't overstay, it's welcome, I will

<v Speaker 1>say that. So I thought overall it was solid, if

<v Speaker 1>not unspectacular. It started hot. I thought the show open hot.

<v Speaker 1>It dragged in different parts during the middle. I thought

<v Speaker 1>the closing angle was fine. I don't know that that's

<v Speaker 1>going to really entice anybody who was on the fence,

<v Speaker 1>you know, watching backlash? Do I watch it? Do I

<v Speaker 1>not watch it? Oh my god, I can't believe what

<v Speaker 1>happened in the closing segment. I got to tune in

<v Speaker 1>to see what's going to happen. Not really, I don't

<v Speaker 1>really think it's going to move anybody. It kind of

<v Speaker 1>moved things along in terms of getting to where they

<v Speaker 1>wanted to be with the match, but they didn't do

<v Speaker 1>anything outlandish. There wasn't some you know, gigantic, you know

<v Speaker 1>brawl that we haven't seen any other week. It was

<v Speaker 1>fine the OBA Open Challenge thing, for as brief as

<v Speaker 1>it was, I thought Ashley ended up being a lot

<v Speaker 1>of fun. So we'll get into what happened. This is

<v Speaker 1>your raw review. It is Monday, May fourth, May the

<v Speaker 1>fourth be with you, twenty twenty six. I am the

<v Speaker 1>Solemn Monster, starting a new week, starting a new month.

<v Speaker 1>First raw recap here for the month of May. Had

<v Speaker 1>a big podcast yesterday, Episode nine to sixty one of

<v Speaker 1>the SoundOff number two on the charts this week, right

<v Speaker 1>behind Corny. You missed it, It'll be there for you tomorrow.

<v Speaker 1>Check it out two and a half hours, including audio

<v Speaker 1>I tacked on at the end. Some people wanted me

<v Speaker 1>to include the audio from my Hulk K Hogan Netflix

<v Speaker 1>documentary review in audio form, so it is there as

<v Speaker 1>well as part of the latest SoundOff. But thank you

<v Speaker 1>for all the feedback on that like and subscribe. We

<v Speaker 1>are over ninety two three hundred subs in counting and

<v Speaker 1>welcome to all of our new subscribers, So go ahead

<v Speaker 1>and hit that button if you have not already done so,

<v Speaker 1>super chats are open. I want to hear from you guys.

<v Speaker 1>What did you think of raw tonight? What are your

<v Speaker 1>predictions for backlash on Saturday? Send them on in I

<v Speaker 1>will acknowledge you. We will hang out here a little

<v Speaker 1>bit later on here in the stream. I want to

<v Speaker 1>give a hat tip actually to Stevie Richards, who had

<v Speaker 1>a very kind shout out on one of his latest

<v Speaker 1>shows for Yours Truly and the sound Uff. I appreciate

<v Speaker 1>that he and James they do good work over on

<v Speaker 1>their channel, so I just wanted to give him a

<v Speaker 1>little tip of the cap not wearing one, but if

<v Speaker 1>I was a little tip of the cap there, let's

<v Speaker 1>bring up the wheel. Find out how many likes we

<v Speaker 1>need for be the booker tonight? Just what we needed.

<v Speaker 1>I was like, what's missing from this stream some pre mode.

<v Speaker 1>That's the wrong show. Four sixty five. That is the

<v Speaker 1>goal here, four May fourth, four hundred and sixty five likes.

<v Speaker 1>That'll get the job done. So go ahead and hit

<v Speaker 1>that like button. I. While you do that, AM going

<v Speaker 1>to commence the review and talk about this raw show

<v Speaker 1>and get you out here as quickly as I can.

<v Speaker 1>Not the most exciting show, not offensively bad. Although there

<v Speaker 1>was thing on the show. There was one thing on

<v Speaker 1>the show that I think just is fucking awful. I'll

<v Speaker 1>let you guess what it is. But this show is

<v Speaker 1>not offensively bad like SmackDown is. There is definitely just

<v Speaker 1>this huge gap between these two shows in terms of quality.

<v Speaker 1>Raw in some weeks is actually a very good show

<v Speaker 1>and can be a very enjoyable show, and then you

<v Speaker 1>have weeks where the show is kind of boring and

<v Speaker 1>there may be is a whole lot going on. It's

<v Speaker 1>still not as offensively bad as SmackDown. That's the big

<v Speaker 1>glaring difference right now between these two television shows. But

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns arrived at the beginning. He got to the building.

<v Speaker 1>He was not in a good mood. He always seems

<v Speaker 1>to be in a bad mood, you know, for somebody

<v Speaker 1>like him who hasn't made I mean, this guy was

<v Speaker 1>champion for thirteen hundred days, makes all this money. He

<v Speaker 1>travels around in style, he's surrounded by his family members.

<v Speaker 1>He's the OTC. Everybody acknowledges him. He's eleven straight WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>main events. You would think the guy would have a

<v Speaker 1>big smile on his face. Rarely does he smile. He

<v Speaker 1>always seems to be annoyed. Maybe he should start a podcast.

<v Speaker 1>So he was in no mood tonight, which at least

<v Speaker 1>tonight is understandable because last week he had the Tonguan

<v Speaker 1>death grip was applied. They have brought back the Tonguan

<v Speaker 1>death grip. They're really trying to put this thing over

<v Speaker 1>as some sort of just lethal maneuver. So he was

<v Speaker 1>in no mood and he made it all the way

<v Speaker 1>to the gorilla position. He was going to march his

<v Speaker 1>way out to the ring and Adam Pearce is trying

<v Speaker 1>to tell him he's trying to stop him, just would

<v Speaker 1>just stop and just listen to what I have to say.

<v Speaker 1>He tells him Jacob Fatu is not here yet. So

<v Speaker 1>Roman stopped in his tracks. He wasn't very happy. Then

<v Speaker 1>he turned and he finds Seth Rollins is standing there.

<v Speaker 1>So we got a little face off here between Roman

<v Speaker 1>and Seth, and Seth said you're in my way. So

<v Speaker 1>Roman kind of stepped aside, and it was Seth Rawlins

<v Speaker 1>instead who made his way out to the ring. And

<v Speaker 1>he got as far as getting to ringside without actually

<v Speaker 1>getting in the ring when he got jumped from behind

<v Speaker 1>by Bron Breaker. And so now we have this just

<v Speaker 1>big brawl outside the ring here to kick things off,

<v Speaker 1>Breaker press slammed him onto the barricade, and here come

<v Speaker 1>all the Secure people and they're out there and they're

<v Speaker 1>they're just huddled all around Breaker. He's shoving some of

<v Speaker 1>them aside. He keeps attacking Rollins, and so briefly they

<v Speaker 1>were able to kind of put a stop to this,

<v Speaker 1>but then he sprinted right past them into the ring

<v Speaker 1>where Rollins was and cut him down with a really

<v Speaker 1>good spear, really wicked spear. Takes Rollins down to the

<v Speaker 1>mat and then finally he leaves, even though the fans

<v Speaker 1>were chanting one more time they wanted to see him

<v Speaker 1>destroy this man, but he left and that was the

<v Speaker 1>end of that. So it was brief, nothing terribly special,

<v Speaker 1>but it was a hot start to the show. It

<v Speaker 1>was all action, not a lot of talking, but we

<v Speaker 1>got a lot of action here packed into the opening whatever.

<v Speaker 1>This was three minutes of the show, so I did

<v Speaker 1>like that. But we obviously had a very clear tease

<v Speaker 1>here for Roman Reigns and Seth Rolin. Now, at some

<v Speaker 1>point down the road, we will get another match between

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. It is inevitable and there

<v Speaker 1>is a wealth of history there between the two of them,

<v Speaker 1>and it will be a big match when the time

<v Speaker 1>is right. It is not a match that I really

<v Speaker 1>would like for them to do this year. It is

<v Speaker 1>not a match that I want to see in these

<v Speaker 1>next few months. It is not a match that I

<v Speaker 1>want to see. It's SummerSlam to me. It's old hat.

<v Speaker 1>I watched this show and one of the more enjoyable

<v Speaker 1>things about the show tonight, and we'll talk about it

<v Speaker 1>more when we get there. There was a tag team

<v Speaker 1>match in the middle of the show where you had

<v Speaker 1>people like Ethan Page and Javon Evans doing their thing. Now,

<v Speaker 1>Javon Evans is super young, right, Ethan Pages and as

<v Speaker 1>young as Javon Evans, but he's a new face on

<v Speaker 1>the show. Javon Evans still a new face on the

<v Speaker 1>show right, part of this big youth movement that they're

<v Speaker 1>trying to push now in WWE, and they're out there

<v Speaker 1>and they're doing their thing in the crowded Omaha. Tonight

<v Speaker 1>was hot for a lot of the stuff on the show,

<v Speaker 1>which was nice to see. And I'm watching that and

<v Speaker 1>I'm enjoying it because it's different and it's not just

<v Speaker 1>the same old shit. So I'm not going to sit

<v Speaker 1>here and go, man, you know, I really want to

<v Speaker 1>see Roman reigns and Seth rollins again. Really do we

<v Speaker 1>need to go back to that. That's why I'm sitting

<v Speaker 1>here and I'm pitching ideas like Roman in Oba or

<v Speaker 1>like I'm trying to put together different match combinations that

<v Speaker 1>are not just the same old stuff that we're used

<v Speaker 1>to seeing and that I genuinely have an interest and

<v Speaker 1>an excitement to see. So they can tease it all

<v Speaker 1>they want to, and you'll hear the fans in the

<v Speaker 1>background cheering, because look, I'm not gonna say it's not

<v Speaker 1>a big match. It's not a match that I have

<v Speaker 1>any intention of sitting here and saying, Oh, I'm super

<v Speaker 1>excited to see it anytime soon. You give me the

<v Speaker 1>choice between Roman and Seth or Roman in Oba for

<v Speaker 1>example at Summer Slim, I'm choosing Roman and Oba ten

<v Speaker 1>times out of ten. Give me something new, give me

<v Speaker 1>something fresh, give me something different, give me fresh matchups

<v Speaker 1>that we haven't seen before. That's what I'm hoping for.

<v Speaker 1>Even Cody and Punk. Yeah, it's two old guys, so

<v Speaker 1>what to match we haven't seen before. That's probably the

<v Speaker 1>biggest possible match they could do. Honestly, even bigger than

<v Speaker 1>Roman and Seth. That'd be okay to me. That'd be

<v Speaker 1>a hell of a one to two punch for Summer

<v Speaker 1>Slim this year. Romanoba, Cody, Punk sure sold would love

<v Speaker 1>to see it. Backstage, we had the judgment day and

<v Speaker 1>they were all meeting up. Liv Morgan said, Stephanie Vicaire

<v Speaker 1>is out injured now and so we don't have to

<v Speaker 1>worry about her anymore, which is true. They wrote her

<v Speaker 1>off television last week, they claimed that she suffered a

<v Speaker 1>sprained ac joint in her shoulder. I believe that is

<v Speaker 1>a legitimate injury and she's not gonna need surgery or

<v Speaker 1>anything like that. I don't believe, but the expectation is

<v Speaker 1>that minimum six weeks and the hope is that she

<v Speaker 1>will be back in time for SummerSlam. So she's going

<v Speaker 1>to miss a good chunk of time here over these

<v Speaker 1>next couple of months, so she's out of the picture.

<v Speaker 1>I have no idea who they're gonna line up next

<v Speaker 1>for Live Morgan unless they go within the judgment day

<v Speaker 1>something happens with Raquel. They're clearly building tension between Live

<v Speaker 1>and Roxanne. It seems to me like that may well

<v Speaker 1>be the direction Live In Roxanne may be headed for

<v Speaker 1>a Women's World Championship match in these next you know,

<v Speaker 1>two three months, because again, like Stephanie's out, we're going

<v Speaker 1>to talk about Becky and Soul a little bit later

<v Speaker 1>on here. A lot of the other women are tied

<v Speaker 1>up in the tag team stuff. There is no obvious

<v Speaker 1>next challenger right now outside of Roxanne, and they're taking

<v Speaker 1>their time telling that story. It's not something that's going

<v Speaker 1>to happen to, you know, clash in Italy for example,

<v Speaker 1>outside of Roxanne, I genuinely don't know. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>who they're gonna go to next for Live. But Live says, look,

<v Speaker 1>I watched the show and she's talking to Roxanne now,

<v Speaker 1>and she said, as you know, last week, she allowed

<v Speaker 1>Finn Balor into the clubhouse. If you remember, Balert kind

<v Speaker 1>of slipped in there and he had a conversation with

<v Speaker 1>with Roxanne, and she wanted to know, first of all,

<v Speaker 1>why is he in there, why are you talking to him?

<v Speaker 1>And why didn't you tell me about it? So Roxanne said, well,

<v Speaker 1>I made it clear to Finn to leave and never

<v Speaker 1>come back, and Live made her promise that she won't

<v Speaker 1>keep secrets from the family again. And Roxanne was like,

<v Speaker 1>I promise I won't keep secrets from the family. Meanwhile,

<v Speaker 1>silently within her, she's like, you fucking bitch. So they're

<v Speaker 1>they're they're building the tension more and more with each

<v Speaker 1>passing week between these two. We had up next Finn

<v Speaker 1>Balor one on one with JD McDonough. I saw this

<v Speaker 1>and I said, oh, okay, all right. We had this

<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out to

<v Speaker 1>be very disappointing because they didn't give them a whole

<v Speaker 1>lot of time, and it was just like it was

<v Speaker 1>not the match that I envisioned the two of them.

<v Speaker 1>So I see that they're running it back, and I'm

<v Speaker 1>hopeful now that this may be is this is gonna be.

<v Speaker 1>They're gonna go out there, They're gonna go balls to

<v Speaker 1>the wall. Neither man has a match on the pl

<v Speaker 1>This is like their PLI let them go out there

<v Speaker 1>and do their thing. Didn't exactly work out that way.

<v Speaker 1>Balor got tripped by Dominic from the outside. Jessica Carr

<v Speaker 1>was the referee. She didn't see any of this. So

<v Speaker 1>Roxan Perez comes out to the ring and now also

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan is out there, and Raquel Rodriguez is out there.

<v Speaker 1>Valor eventually knocked dom off the apron when he tried

<v Speaker 1>to interfere again. McDonough followed with a Spanish fly standing

<v Speaker 1>Spanish fly for a near fall, and Balor took this

<v Speaker 1>terrible bump. It looked like right on top of his

<v Speaker 1>head on the landing. Even Corey Graves had to acknowledge it.

<v Speaker 1>They showed a replay of it. It was a nasty landing,

<v Speaker 1>so Dom ends up tripping Baler up on the apron

<v Speaker 1>and finally there's like the third or fourth time this

<v Speaker 1>fucker is interfered in this match. So finally the referee

<v Speaker 1>sees this and she tosses him, tosses him, well, tosses him.

<v Speaker 1>You know, I am reminded from time to time by

<v Speaker 1>my UK viewers that different words have different meanings in

<v Speaker 1>different places. And I remember once I was talking about

<v Speaker 1>the hell in a Cell match at the King of

<v Speaker 1>the Ring in ninety eight Undertaker of Mankind, and I said,

<v Speaker 1>you know, Undertaker, you know toss folly off, and I

<v Speaker 1>had somebody who lives over in the UK. They go, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>solo monster, that means something very different over here as

<v Speaker 1>compared to what it means over that go, what do

<v Speaker 1>you mean? This is years ago. I have no idea

<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about. And then I realized I read

<v Speaker 1>up and I realized what he was talking about. I go, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay,

<v Speaker 1>all right, yes, well that definitely is not what happened.

<v Speaker 1>He tossed him off the cage, so I have to

<v Speaker 1>be careful when I say these things. She tossed him

<v Speaker 1>out of the ringside area, not the other members of

<v Speaker 1>the judgment. They only Dom, so Dom got tossed. Mcdonoughh

<v Speaker 1>went for a moonsaw. Balor got his knees up on

<v Speaker 1>the landing. Now Live Morgan is up on the apron

<v Speaker 1>and she is distracting the referee and she has the

<v Speaker 1>bell hammer, the ring bell hammer, and referee doesn't see it,

<v Speaker 1>and she very covertly kind of tosses it to Roxanne Perez.

<v Speaker 1>Perez takes the hammer, goes around to the other side

<v Speaker 1>of the ring and whax Balor with it. Referee didn't

<v Speaker 1>see it. Referees don't see anything. They're blind. So not

<v Speaker 1>only did Balor get hit with the ring bell hammer,

<v Speaker 1>but as soon as he gets hit with the ring

<v Speaker 1>bell hammer, we have JD. McDonough who follows through with

<v Speaker 1>this running head butt with his giant you know, funko

<v Speaker 1>pop head and then he collapses on top of Balor

<v Speaker 1>and he gets the three in ja McDonough picks up

<v Speaker 1>the win. You know, they're very lucky that this match

<v Speaker 1>here had a hot crowd, which it did. The crowd

<v Speaker 1>was really into what was going on here in this match,

<v Speaker 1>by and large, and the match wasn't bad, but the

<v Speaker 1>fact is they ran it back again, and I really did.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that this meant we were going to get

<v Speaker 1>more of a proper match between the two as compared

<v Speaker 1>to what we had gotten two weeks ago, and instead

<v Speaker 1>what we ended up getting was this revolving door of interference. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I know it's the Judgment Day, so you kind of

<v Speaker 1>come to expect it. It's the resident house of torture

<v Speaker 1>here of WWE, so you're always going to have interference

<v Speaker 1>and distractions and all this bullshit. There was a lot

<v Speaker 1>of it here in this match. And now these two

<v Speaker 1>men are knotted up at one win apiece, which gives

<v Speaker 1>me at least some optimism that they will have a

<v Speaker 1>third match. It probably will not be on a pl

<v Speaker 1>but imagine if they had a third match between Finn

<v Speaker 1>Balor and JD McDonough in Italy Clash in Italy. I

<v Speaker 1>think the crowd would actually respond very well. You let

<v Speaker 1>these two guys go out there, give them actual time

<v Speaker 1>to go out there and just have a great match,

<v Speaker 1>and you could still play out, you know, whatever story

<v Speaker 1>you want to play out outside with Live and Rock Sand.

<v Speaker 1>You can still use that match to further the Judgment

<v Speaker 1>Day stuff. I would just love to see these guys

<v Speaker 1>go out there and just handcuffs off and just do

<v Speaker 1>what they do best. And I'm sure Balor, you know,

<v Speaker 1>he'll win the rubber match. Hopefully we'll get a rubber

<v Speaker 1>match at some point between these two. But the constant

<v Speaker 1>interference is just that's just ridiculous. So I can't sit

<v Speaker 1>here and tell you this was some great man. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it was fine for what it was, but not with

<v Speaker 1>all the extra bullshit. That's about the best I could say.

<v Speaker 1>Jackie Redman interviewed Seth Rollins in the back, still licking

<v Speaker 1>his wounds after what happened earlier in the show, and

<v Speaker 1>are you gonna be okay for backlash? He said, the

<v Speaker 1>show's in five days, so I'll be fine. He said

<v Speaker 1>he told Breaker last week that if he took chances,

<v Speaker 1>he better be able to finish the job. But I'm

<v Speaker 1>not dead yet, and he walked off. They aired highlights

<v Speaker 1>after this of the closing segment from Raw last week

<v Speaker 1>where Jacob FAUGHTU applied the tongue in death grip. They

<v Speaker 1>have busted out the tongue in death grip with these

<v Speaker 1>two Samoans and he put down Roman Reigns with it.

<v Speaker 1>So they showed highlights of that, and then they cut

<v Speaker 1>back to the announcers who really sat there and they

<v Speaker 1>tried to put over just how lethal a maneuver this is.

<v Speaker 1>They explained that it was made famous by the legendary

<v Speaker 1>Haku and it targets the atoms apple, So basically, when

<v Speaker 1>you reach for the throat, you're squeezing the atoms apple

<v Speaker 1>and you're cutting off the flow of oxygen and eventually

<v Speaker 1>you go out. Now I'm listening to Michael Cole, you know,

<v Speaker 1>talk about this and this is all very goofy, but

<v Speaker 1>I kind of like it because they're taking a simple move.

<v Speaker 1>They're trying to get it out and it's out of nowhere,

<v Speaker 1>but they're taking a simple move like the tongue in

<v Speaker 1>death grip, and they're trying to make it seem deadly. Really,

<v Speaker 1>what this is is very basic, old school pro wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>So as silly as it all seems, I kind of

<v Speaker 1>like it because we don't really have enough of this

<v Speaker 1>sort of thing, and you don't need some overly dangerous

<v Speaker 1>maneuver where you know, oh my god, they're going to

<v Speaker 1>be on the top rope, but he's going to do

<v Speaker 1>a triple somersault onto the announced then like, no, it's

<v Speaker 1>the fucking tongue in death grip. And if they can

<v Speaker 1>get that over as a believable finish, great. The only

<v Speaker 1>problem is I don't see Jacob Fatu wedding on Saturday,

<v Speaker 1>So if he uses the tongue in death grip, he's

<v Speaker 1>not going to win the title with it. Yeah, look,

<v Speaker 1>if he does, I'll eat my hat. And I don't

<v Speaker 1>even wear a hat, but I appreciate the little nod

<v Speaker 1>to old school wrestling. We go back to last week

<v Speaker 1>and Henry he remember last week he sang about the

<v Speaker 1>firing of Logan Paul and he got attacked by Austin

<v Speaker 1>Theory and Logan Paul and then the Street Profits made

<v Speaker 1>their return. They made the save. So in the back Live,

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker is talking shit about Seth Rollins to Logan

<v Speaker 1>Paul and Austin Theory and he's mocking him. He sounds

<v Speaker 1>like a dock. He's pinching his nose, he's mocking his voice.

<v Speaker 1>Paul Haman waddles in and he wants to know why

<v Speaker 1>Rollins is still breathing. So Logan says that he wants

<v Speaker 1>to make sure that Joe Henry is no longer breathing.

<v Speaker 1>He wants to kill this man tonight, and Hayman says

<v Speaker 1>no because he doesn't want to see him get suspended.

<v Speaker 1>So instead, tonight it's going to be Austin Theory against

<v Speaker 1>Joe Hendry. After this, we had the tag team match

<v Speaker 1>that I mentioned earlier. One of the highlights of the night,

<v Speaker 1>Penta and Javon Evans tag team partners against Russev and

<v Speaker 1>Ethan Page. Fun match here, crowd was very loud for it,

<v Speaker 1>super into it. Penta knocked Russev off the apron. Rusev, though,

<v Speaker 1>yanked Evans off the apron to avoid the tag as Penta.

<v Speaker 1>It's funny too, because Penta had to like there was

<v Speaker 1>nobody there. Javon Evans is on the apron waiting for

<v Speaker 1>the hot tag and Penta has to wait for Russev

<v Speaker 1>to get in position on the outside to do what

<v Speaker 1>he's going to do, so he has to sort of

<v Speaker 1>slow himself down and stumble around like he's punched drunk,

<v Speaker 1>and then finally he goes in for the tag and

<v Speaker 1>Russev pulls Evans off the apron, so Jravon did end

<v Speaker 1>up getting the tag and he ran wild and he

<v Speaker 1>got the fans all fired up with the whole flurry

<v Speaker 1>of offense. The red dot connects tag back out to Penta,

<v Speaker 1>who hits a tornado DDT on Ethan for a two count.

<v Speaker 1>Russev broke it up, but then he got sent outside

<v Speaker 1>and Evans hid this big dive out onto Russev on

<v Speaker 1>the floor, and so Russev ends up being set up

<v Speaker 1>or laid out, I should say, on top of the

<v Speaker 1>announced desk, and he he being Javon, is looking he's

<v Speaker 1>gonna go up top. So now he's gonna do something crazy.

<v Speaker 1>So he goes to head up top, Ethan knocks him off,

<v Speaker 1>and while Ethan distracts the referee, Russev suplexes Penta onto

<v Speaker 1>the announced desk, then quickly rolls Penta back into the

<v Speaker 1>ring and all Ego hits a variation of a Fisherman's

<v Speaker 1>suplex for a three count, not even his finish. He

<v Speaker 1>tried to go for a twisted grin a couple of

<v Speaker 1>times in this match. Both times it got foiled, and

<v Speaker 1>so instead of finally hitting his finish and winning with it,

<v Speaker 1>he hit some wacky fisherman's supplex variation, but he got

<v Speaker 1>the win. He pins the Intercontinental Champion, and they immediately

<v Speaker 1>cut to a shot of Russev on the outside and

<v Speaker 1>he's smiling. They told him, they go, look, we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>put the camera on you. You gotta smile, something we don't

<v Speaker 1>see very often. And then he got in the ring

<v Speaker 1>and Ethan was all excited. He wanted a hug and

<v Speaker 1>Roussev was like you, I don't think so. But for

<v Speaker 1>one night anyway, these two were. They were getting along okay.

<v Speaker 1>So the real standouts here in this match were Javon

<v Speaker 1>Evans and Ethan Page. And this goes to what I

<v Speaker 1>was talking about earlier, where you have these two new faces. Right.

<v Speaker 1>Evans has been on ROW for a few months now,

<v Speaker 1>but he's still relatively new. Ethan is brand new. I

<v Speaker 1>mean he's been on the show for like two weeks.

<v Speaker 1>And it's nice to see some fresh faces on the show.

<v Speaker 1>It's nice to see that energy that Javon bring you

<v Speaker 1>cause it's easy to tell why the crowd gets so

<v Speaker 1>excited because he's fun to watch. He's bouncing around all

<v Speaker 1>over the place. He's kipping up, he's doing this, he's

<v Speaker 1>doing that. He's a ball of energy out there and

<v Speaker 1>there aren't too many people on the show who are

<v Speaker 1>flying around like that. So I had a lot of

<v Speaker 1>fun watching this match. The crowd obviously had a lot

<v Speaker 1>of fun with this match. This is the sort of

<v Speaker 1>thing I'd like to see more of on these shows,

<v Speaker 1>and you never know what kind of crowd you're going

<v Speaker 1>to get from week to week, but here in Omaha tonight,

<v Speaker 1>they were very lively for this, and look ethan page

<v Speaker 1>Pin Penta clearly is going to put him in a

<v Speaker 1>position to challenge soon, sooner than I thought. By the way,

<v Speaker 1>for the Intercontinental, because I did make the comment a

<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, I said, inside of six months,

<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be the Intercontinental Champion. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get it now. If he's wrestling Penta, let's

<v Speaker 1>say this month. I'm not saying he's gonna win it

<v Speaker 1>now necessarily, but it would be. It would be a

<v Speaker 1>little bit quicker than I thought, but I wouldn't be

<v Speaker 1>totally shocked because I just from the moment he debuted

<v Speaker 1>on the show, I said, this guy's gonna be Intercontinental

<v Speaker 1>Champion inside of this year, like it's gonna happen. But

<v Speaker 1>they seem to be getting to it. A lot quicker

<v Speaker 1>than I thought. So so far, Ethan Page is doing great,

<v Speaker 1>Soul Ruki I think is going to do great. Opa

<v Speaker 1>Femi is doing well. Trick Williams is doing well. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it's nice to see some of these NXT call ups. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>sometimes you're lucky if you get one that really sticks.

<v Speaker 1>And they have a few of them that so far,

<v Speaker 1>so good, and I think in more than one case,

<v Speaker 1>you know they're doing well enough where you can see

<v Speaker 1>the vision of where they're going and that they could

<v Speaker 1>be big, big stars and big big contributors on these shows.

<v Speaker 1>In the end, it all depends on the booking, of course,

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so far, so good. Oh but Trick, all

<v Speaker 1>these people, this is what we need more of. They

<v Speaker 1>waited too long to call some of these people out.

<v Speaker 1>Ricky Saints just got called up, Blake Monroe is coming up.

<v Speaker 1>It's like they're all coming at the same time. They

<v Speaker 1>should have called some of these people up a little

<v Speaker 1>bit sooner instead of having this whole cluster of people

<v Speaker 1>coming up, all of ones. But now that it's happening,

<v Speaker 1>it's like, okay, well, this is something that is sorely

<v Speaker 1>needed on these shows. Yeah, these shows have been the

<v Speaker 1>same old, same old for so long. It's nice to

<v Speaker 1>have some fresh faces that are doing well. So we

<v Speaker 1>have the raw gm Adam Pierce out to the ring

<v Speaker 1>after a break after all this, and he said that

<v Speaker 1>when he was a coach in NXT, his favorite days

<v Speaker 1>were when you had these blue chip, can't miss prospects

<v Speaker 1>that were getting the big call up to raw or

<v Speaker 1>smack down. He said, today is one of those days.

<v Speaker 1>And he pitched it to a Soul Ruka video package

<v Speaker 1>his various highlights for Soul. So then soul Ruka makes

<v Speaker 1>her way down to the ring and Adam Pierce congratulates

<v Speaker 1>her and hands her the contract bind her and she

<v Speaker 1>didn't really have a chance to say a whole hell

<v Speaker 1>of a lot before she was interrupted by the Women's

<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch, wearing the puffiest jacket that you

<v Speaker 1>will ever see. It was a jacket five times too

<v Speaker 1>big for her. It's like she raided her husband's closet.

<v Speaker 1>And she makes her way down to the ring, she

<v Speaker 1>blows right past Soul, completely ignores her even though this

<v Speaker 1>is her big moment, and she makes a beeline for

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pears and yes, she does have new music. She

<v Speaker 1>has been deaf rebeled. She does have new theme music.

<v Speaker 1>De mean, you had to know this was coming. It's

<v Speaker 1>too early to say whether or not it's good, like

<v Speaker 1>an upgrade or if it's a downgrade. I'm kind of

<v Speaker 1>in the middle on it. But she does have new music.

<v Speaker 1>So Becky said, look, this was meant to be my time.

<v Speaker 1>She had a monumental win at WrestleMania. She had to

<v Speaker 1>then fight Eo Janetti in a Poor Marty twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 1>This is already the second Marty Janetti diss that we

<v Speaker 1>have gotten on television this year. This poor bastard still

<v Speaker 1>getting disrespected after all these years you've been jeanettied Eo Janetti.

<v Speaker 1>She said she had a wrestle in that Open Challenge

<v Speaker 1>last week and it was an unscheduled match and she

<v Speaker 1>wasn't ready for it. She says she won the match

<v Speaker 1>despite Adam Pearce's meddling. Then she started to lapse into

<v Speaker 1>her Sports Illustrated Bleacher Report. Bit Soul interrupted and asked,

<v Speaker 1>are you done, and Becky said that I'm not. She

<v Speaker 1>gloated about being a New York Times bestselling author. Ruca

<v Speaker 1>said that not everything is about you She said, she

<v Speaker 1>knows who Becky is and what she's accomplished, but she

<v Speaker 1>didn't expect to find out that she's exactly what everybody says.

<v Speaker 1>She is a rude, big headed bitch and it's not

<v Speaker 1>just her saying that. So Becky asked the Pierce and

<v Speaker 1>then the fans, you're gonna let this woman talk to

<v Speaker 1>me like that. So Ruca then went and signed her contract,

<v Speaker 1>so now she's officially on Monday Night row and Becky

<v Speaker 1>asked her, like, who the hell are you? And she goes,

<v Speaker 1>I'm soul, Ruka, and if you ever interrupt me again,

<v Speaker 1>not only will I kick your ass, I'll snatch your soul,

<v Speaker 1>which was like okay, I mean the fans shared the line,

<v Speaker 1>but okay. So Becky went to go throw a punch

<v Speaker 1>at her soul, dodges it, and instead Becky inadvertently punches

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce in the jaw. And she's very apologetic about this. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean it, and Pierce is He's not apologetic.

<v Speaker 1>He's apoplectic. I mean, he's not happy about this. Are

<v Speaker 1>you fucking serious? He didn't say fucking, but you know

<v Speaker 1>he was thinking it, so he was not very happy.

<v Speaker 1>I see. I thought he was going to make a

<v Speaker 1>match on the spot and go, oh, you want to

<v Speaker 1>punch me in the face. I'll tell you what. You're

<v Speaker 1>gonna put your title on the line this Saturday of

<v Speaker 1>Backlash against Soul Ruka, and that was going to be

<v Speaker 1>match number six. See, but we can't have that though.

<v Speaker 1>Five's the limit, so he just left the ring. I

<v Speaker 1>guess we'll have to wait until next week to find

<v Speaker 1>out what the punishment is going to be for putting

<v Speaker 1>her hands on Adam Pierce. So as she's standing there

<v Speaker 1>and she's got her back turned, Soul is standing behind her,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, okay, is she setting up for the

<v Speaker 1>Soul Snatcher? And sure enough, she goes to go for

<v Speaker 1>the Soul Snatcher. And of all the nights of all

<v Speaker 1>the Knights for her to fuck this up, this was

<v Speaker 1>not the best spot for it to happen. She goes

<v Speaker 1>with a Soul Snatcher, she goes to jump to the

<v Speaker 1>middle rope and she slipped. Now, she quickly recovers, it's

<v Speaker 1>not like she fell on her ass or anything like that,

<v Speaker 1>but that momentary slip, it was like ah, and she

<v Speaker 1>she went and did the move anyway, and it didn't

<v Speaker 1>really connect right, I mean, Becky was almost like Becky

<v Speaker 1>didn't go down fast enough for it. It did not

<v Speaker 1>look good, and so the fans didn't really react in

<v Speaker 1>the way that they you would expect them to, or

<v Speaker 1>that they did a few weeks ago when she hit

<v Speaker 1>the move. So it's it was unfortunate. Let's just say

<v Speaker 1>that it is never a good moment to fuck up

<v Speaker 1>in the ring. Nobody wants to fuck up. But yes,

<v Speaker 1>that was a very unfortunate botch. Let's just say but

<v Speaker 1>I am, however, very excited to see Becky Lynch against

<v Speaker 1>soul Ruka. I loved the idea of putting these two

<v Speaker 1>together because outside of I thought maybe they would have

<v Speaker 1>her working with liv Morgan. That would obviously be the

<v Speaker 1>best spot, right because the Women's World Championship, But why

<v Speaker 1>rush her into that. This is the next best spot

<v Speaker 1>for her to be in. You know, she could do

<v Speaker 1>a program for a few months with Becky and feud

<v Speaker 1>over the the IC title, and the payoff here could

<v Speaker 1>be Sole winning the title. Let's say it's Summer Slam

<v Speaker 1>because we're in May. So if you're first kicking this

<v Speaker 1>thing off, now you know you've got clash in Italy.

<v Speaker 1>You've got a Saturday Night's main event coming up later

<v Speaker 1>this month. You've got a Night of Champions next month.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're doing anything in July, and

<v Speaker 1>then boom the beginning of August. You got two nights

<v Speaker 1>of Summer Slam. To me, that's the match, like, that's

<v Speaker 1>the Summer Slim match, Like the WrestleMania match for Becky

<v Speaker 1>Lynch was very clear was always going to be Becky

<v Speaker 1>Lynch and aj Lee the match for Summer Slam. As

<v Speaker 1>I look ahead, I go Becky and Soul. It just

<v Speaker 1>makes all the sense in the world. This is the

<v Speaker 1>perfect person for her to be working with, so I

<v Speaker 1>like it. But this is this is just the kickoff here.

<v Speaker 1>But again, a small part of me thought maybe there

<v Speaker 1>was a possibility they were gonna set the first matchup

<v Speaker 1>for this weekend. Backstage, Jackie Redman caught Jimmy and Jay

<v Speaker 1>Usso before they were about to walk into Roman's locker room,

<v Speaker 1>and she asked them for comment on tonight's contract signing,

<v Speaker 1>and Jimmy said that they love Fatu, but he needed

<v Speaker 1>to understand how Roman handled his business, and Jay warned

<v Speaker 1>Jacob that he's swimming in the deep water. Now the

<v Speaker 1>blood line has been drawn, and Fat two would find

<v Speaker 1>out who he was messing with at backlash. Still very

<v Speaker 1>interesting that over the last couple of weeks on SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>when the ussos have appeared during Jacob matches or Jacob segments,

<v Speaker 1>they have not come to blows. They have not put

<v Speaker 1>their hands on Jacob Fatu. Very interesting. We had Joe

<v Speaker 1>Hendry out and they went into a commercial break. He

<v Speaker 1>started singing his song. They had a whole microphone set

<v Speaker 1>up for him in the ring, and he had his

<v Speaker 1>guitar and he starts singing a song which ended with

<v Speaker 1>you know, fire Logan Paul or can we fire Logan Paul?

<v Speaker 1>Same shit he was singing last week When they came

<v Speaker 1>back from the commercial break, he was still in mid song, right,

<v Speaker 1>so he's still singing this stuff. Logan then comes out

<v Speaker 1>with theory and he's again like last week, he's over

<v Speaker 1>acting again and acting all angry and talking about how

<v Speaker 1>I'm unfireable. TKO can't fire me. I'm on fire. Of

<v Speaker 1>course TKO can't fire him. You know why, because he

<v Speaker 1>would qualify as a celebrity. Some people would call him

<v Speaker 1>an influencer. He's not really a big celebrity. He kind

<v Speaker 1>of is a celebrity, and you know how TKO feels

<v Speaker 1>about their celebrities. The last person they're going to fire

<v Speaker 1>is a celebrity. If you're a wrestler, you're always on

<v Speaker 1>the bubble, but if you're a celebrity, you're okay. So

<v Speaker 1>I don't think Logan needs to worry about being fired

<v Speaker 1>anytime soon. They're pretty much untouchable. This was not much

<v Speaker 1>of a match. It was Theory and Joe Hendry, and

<v Speaker 1>this went maybe three minutes. Maybe nothing happened until Logan

<v Speaker 1>Paul jumped into ambush Henry as he was doing his pose.

<v Speaker 1>He turned around, the camera zoomed in on him and

<v Speaker 1>then you could see Logan Paul attack him in the background,

<v Speaker 1>so that caused the disqualification. Again, we were three minutes

<v Speaker 1>into this match, so the vision beats up Henri until

<v Speaker 1>montes Ford Angelo Dawkins they come running out to make

<v Speaker 1>the save. Bron Breaker though runs out and he spears

<v Speaker 1>and supplexes both street profits and he absolutely launched montese

<v Speaker 1>Ford out over the top rope, and boy did he

<v Speaker 1>gets some height on that backdrop or throw whatever it was,

<v Speaker 1>it wasn't quite brock Lesner and Shannon Moore from SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>but it was. It was one of those throws where

<v Speaker 1>it was just this wild throw out over the top

<v Speaker 1>and he just comes crashing and burning on the floor. Man,

<v Speaker 1>that Brocklesner and Shannon Moore. Things still lives rent free

<v Speaker 1>in my head. The fact I'm even sitting here in

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six and I still remember this fucking match

<v Speaker 1>with Brackelesner and Shannon Moore, and it had to be

<v Speaker 1>what two thousand and three. It's like, are you kidding me?

<v Speaker 1>He gave him a belly to belly overhead souplex from

<v Speaker 1>the ring out to the floor. You couldn't pay me

<v Speaker 1>enough to take that, because if I ever took that move,

<v Speaker 1>he'd be the last move I would ever take because

<v Speaker 1>I would be in traction for the rest of my life.

<v Speaker 1>You couldn't pay me enough to take that. Breaker set

<v Speaker 1>up Dawkins for a spear seth Rollins, though showed up.

<v Speaker 1>He dragged Breaker out under the bottom row and he

<v Speaker 1>beat him up. So anyway, he was about to give

<v Speaker 1>Breaker a curb stomp, but montes Ford gets back in

<v Speaker 1>the ring and from one corner he sprints towards the

<v Speaker 1>corner where Rollins is getting ready to hit the stomp.

<v Speaker 1>He jumps over Rollins and hits this huge flip dive

<v Speaker 1>over the post and wipes out the heels out on

<v Speaker 1>the floor, and this distracts seth Rawlins, so instead of

<v Speaker 1>hitting a stump, he ends up turning around and getting

<v Speaker 1>cut down with a spear. The crowd was going crazy

<v Speaker 1>for all the postmatch stuff, especially the montes Ford dive,

<v Speaker 1>which looked spectacular again, as did him being tossed out

<v Speaker 1>of the ring by bron Breaker. The match itself nothing

<v Speaker 1>a waste of time. It was all about the post

<v Speaker 1>match stuff. Now. In the back, Jackie Redman interviewed the

<v Speaker 1>Judgment Day where Quel Rodriguez called out the women's tag

<v Speaker 1>team champions Bribella and Page. Imagine my disgust when I

<v Speaker 1>was watching SmackDown back. I didn't get to see it live,

<v Speaker 1>but when I caught up with SmackDown on Saturday, which

<v Speaker 1>what a waste of time that was. I see Bribella

<v Speaker 1>come out, and I hear brem Mode and she comes out,

<v Speaker 1>and then the music stops and they play it a

<v Speaker 1>second time. It's almost like they knew he's gonna watch

<v Speaker 1>the show, so let's stop and play it again just

<v Speaker 1>to annoy him. You know, the only thing worse than

<v Speaker 1>hearing Brimode on SmackDown hearing Bremode once is hearing Bremode twice.

<v Speaker 1>So they're throwing down the gauntlet. Here to Page and

<v Speaker 1>Brie Bella come to our show. Show up on Monday night,

<v Speaker 1>Row So Bailey and Lyra Valkyria. They walk in. Bailey

<v Speaker 1>told them that she and Lyra would not be easy

<v Speaker 1>to get rid of. Okay, bout end, I don't really

<v Speaker 1>have anything else to say about what happened here. Then

<v Speaker 1>we had the Oba Femi Open Challenge. He threw the

<v Speaker 1>open challenge out last week. This was week one. He

<v Speaker 1>struts down to the ring and here comes the Alpha Academy.

<v Speaker 1>Tozawa walks out, flanked by Otis and Maxine Dupree, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at this and I'm like, You've got to

<v Speaker 1>be fucking kidding me. Not Otis Tozawa is going to

<v Speaker 1>get in the ring and accept the open challenge. He

<v Speaker 1>gets into the ring and he goes face to chest

<v Speaker 1>with Oba, and he realizes, I've made a terrible mistake,

<v Speaker 1>so he slowly backs away. Otis Is on the apron

<v Speaker 1>and he basically nods to Otis, and it's like, okay,

<v Speaker 1>Otis is going to accept the open challenge. And I

<v Speaker 1>know they don't do anything with Otis, but I can

<v Speaker 1>accept this. I looked at this and I said, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be fun. It's not gonna last very long,

<v Speaker 1>but this is gonna be fun. So they get in

<v Speaker 1>the ring and shoulder tackles and nobody moves. It's like

<v Speaker 1>a stalemate between these two. There was a spot here

<v Speaker 1>where oba Femi hit the ropes and he came off

<v Speaker 1>with this running uppercut. I mean, we talk about bron Breaker,

<v Speaker 1>they talk about twenty three miles an hour, right and

<v Speaker 1>clocked running the ropes, and that's fast. But you know what,

<v Speaker 1>as scary as that is, and we've seen bron Breaker

<v Speaker 1>charge down a long ramp and he did that at

<v Speaker 1>Wrestle Media, right seventy five yards down the ramp. As

<v Speaker 1>scary as that is, imagine a man the size of

<v Speaker 1>Oba Femi hitting the ropes at about the same speed.

<v Speaker 1>He was fucking lightning fast coming off these ropes with

<v Speaker 1>that uppercut. Holy shit. So then he picks up Otis

<v Speaker 1>and I don't mean, like in a body slell. He

<v Speaker 1>just picks him up like a baby, and then he

<v Speaker 1>had a lawn dard him, but he basically just tossed it.

<v Speaker 1>He bealed him and he lands on his back, just

<v Speaker 1>throws him three hundred and fifty pounds men and he

<v Speaker 1>just throws him halfway across the ring. So then after this,

<v Speaker 1>oba Is he's pondering whether or not he's going to

<v Speaker 1>give this man the Fall from Grace, and he's thinking

<v Speaker 1>about it, but he pops a mentos and points at

<v Speaker 1>his head. He's got an idea, So he puts Otis

<v Speaker 1>on the middle rope. He slides underneath him, which makes

<v Speaker 1>it easier for Oba to get him up in a

<v Speaker 1>power bomb position. And it looked like he was struggling

<v Speaker 1>at first, but then he got him right. He got

<v Speaker 1>him rock solid on his shoulders and he walks to

<v Speaker 1>the middle of the ring and he delivers the Fall

<v Speaker 1>from Gray. Actually we'll call it the not so Fall

<v Speaker 1>from Gray. It wasn't really a fall from grace. He

<v Speaker 1>wasn't able to really kind of, you know, prop him

<v Speaker 1>up there the way he did Brockelesner. But it was

<v Speaker 1>basically a form of a fall from grace and it

<v Speaker 1>got a big reaction and he pinned Otis to win

<v Speaker 1>the match. You know again, when I saw Tozawa come

<v Speaker 1>out initially and it looked like they were actually going

<v Speaker 1>to do Tozaua and Oba, I just rolled my eyes

<v Speaker 1>because I sat here last week and said, you know,

<v Speaker 1>this open challenge is not It's not a bad idea.

<v Speaker 1>The only thing is we see so many open challenge

<v Speaker 1>ju It's just ridiculous in and of itself. Though. It's

<v Speaker 1>not a bad way to get Oba on the show

<v Speaker 1>and get him some action until you know they're ready

<v Speaker 1>to do whatever is going to be next with him.

<v Speaker 1>And then I saw Tozao and I'm like, Okay, this

<v Speaker 1>is exactly what they should not be doing. Weeks and

<v Speaker 1>weeks and weeks of him in the ring. It's like

<v Speaker 1>we see Royce Keys on SmackDown and they're just starting

<v Speaker 1>to establish him and so that's fine. It's like what

<v Speaker 1>they did with Rye back many years ago. They had

<v Speaker 1>him beaten two three jobbers at once and it got

<v Speaker 1>him super over. It's not a terrible idea, but somebody

<v Speaker 1>in the position that Oba is in now, you're going

<v Speaker 1>to have to do better than that. Otis at least

<v Speaker 1>is a big guy, and so it looks super impressive

<v Speaker 1>the way OBUs throwing him around and power bombing him.

<v Speaker 1>It was to set up all these power spots that

<v Speaker 1>they could do, and it worked and it got over

<v Speaker 1>and for the two minutes that this lasted, and this

<v Speaker 1>should not have gone any longer than that. For the

<v Speaker 1>two minutes it lasted, it was fun. I had no

<v Speaker 1>issue with it. I granted this is only week. They

<v Speaker 1>don't have a roster full of Otises. I'm wondering if

<v Speaker 1>they intend to do this every single week, how long

<v Speaker 1>they could keep this going. This should not be a

<v Speaker 1>long term, like months long thing. I think you do

<v Speaker 1>something like this where he's on the show, if not

<v Speaker 1>every week, most weeks, they could skip a week. They

<v Speaker 1>don't have to have him on the show every single week.

<v Speaker 1>You can get to the end of June. June is

<v Speaker 1>when they're going to Saudi for Night of Champions. If

<v Speaker 1>the plan was to do another King of the Ring tournament,

<v Speaker 1>I think Oba is the perfect person to put Over

<v Speaker 1>in that tournament. That all you need to do is

<v Speaker 1>do the open Challenge gimmick for like six weeks. You

<v Speaker 1>can do that and then you terminate it as soon

<v Speaker 1>as you wins King of the Ring. You don't have

<v Speaker 1>to do open challenges anymore, and you set him up

<v Speaker 1>for a major match at Summer Slam. That's the path

<v Speaker 1>that this man should be on. So you do six

<v Speaker 1>weeks of open challenges, Okay, that's fine. He's still got

<v Speaker 1>to come up with some fun opponents for him, though,

<v Speaker 1>And I don't mean Grayson Waller, which we've already seen.

<v Speaker 1>I don't mean Tozawa or Ryo or Bravo Okay, none

<v Speaker 1>of that bullshit. But this, I thought this was fun.

<v Speaker 1>Now in the back seth Rollins blew one of the

<v Speaker 1>referees naked, dry Chicken, thank you for the super chat.

<v Speaker 1>Blew one of the referees off when they were trying

<v Speaker 1>to check on him and his condition and see how

<v Speaker 1>he was, and he said, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

<v Speaker 1>He's continuing to sell the effects of this spear from

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker. So the Street Profits and Joe Hendry show

<v Speaker 1>up and montes Ford said, nobody trusts you, and roll

<v Speaker 1>I don't even trust myself because but we're fighting the

<v Speaker 1>same fight against the vision. But then he contradicted himself

<v Speaker 1>and he said, you stay out of my way and

<v Speaker 1>I'll stay out of yours. I'm like, what what are

<v Speaker 1>you talking about? Like come on, we need to band together,

<v Speaker 1>but stay out of my way? Like what that doesn't

<v Speaker 1>make any sense? That was kind of goofy is what

<v Speaker 1>is wrong with you? In the chat? What is going

<v Speaker 1>on here? What is going on here? So earlier today

<v Speaker 1>OSCA and Eosky they sat down for a face to

<v Speaker 1>face interview with very dramatic music playing in the background

<v Speaker 1>and we had the English subtitles as well. EO says

<v Speaker 1>that she's avoided this fight for years. Osca is her SENDPI.

<v Speaker 1>She never wanted it to come to this, but Oscar

<v Speaker 1>has changed. The Osca that she looked up to is

<v Speaker 1>no longer here and now she has to fight her.

<v Speaker 1>So then Oscar talks and says the EO that she

<v Speaker 1>taught is no longer in front of her. She doesn't

<v Speaker 1>know anyone that is this disrespectful. Oscar says that EO

<v Speaker 1>is her biggest disappointment and it backlash. She will cut

<v Speaker 1>EO out of her life for good. And then EO says,

<v Speaker 1>I am ready for Osca. So they lean in very

<v Speaker 1>close and they cut to Oscar, they cut to EO.

<v Speaker 1>They cut to Oscar, and it's very dramatic, and it's like, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen here? And then all of a sudden,

<v Speaker 1>Osca blows blue mist in her face. The blue goo

<v Speaker 1>is dripping, and EO is selling this, and Adam Pierce

<v Speaker 1>shows up. He's yelling for a doctor. We need a medic.

<v Speaker 1>I know they wanted to use subtitles for this, so

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that played into why they wanted to do

<v Speaker 1>a face to face, But I am sure they did

<v Speaker 1>not want these two women out in front of the

<v Speaker 1>crowd in the event that they broke into chance of

<v Speaker 1>we Want Kyrie, So this was also a way for

<v Speaker 1>them to avoid having to deal with any of that

<v Speaker 1>by having them in a pre tape, not like you

<v Speaker 1>could hear the crowd. They had music in the background,

<v Speaker 1>so they didn't have any we want Kyrie or Kyrie

<v Speaker 1>saying chance right, because maybe there would have been some,

<v Speaker 1>so this was a way to avoid that. I thought

<v Speaker 1>this was really good up until the missed part. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. This was like a serious promo for ninety

<v Speaker 1>seconds and then she blows you know, the fucking blue

<v Speaker 1>goo in her face, and Eo doesn't cell it very well.

<v Speaker 1>I mean the way Eo sells it, it's actually very entertaining,

<v Speaker 1>but in like a comedic way, which I don't think

<v Speaker 1>this is meant to be comedic because every time she

<v Speaker 1>gets missed it in the face, the way she sells

<v Speaker 1>it is just it's just hilarious to me. So I

<v Speaker 1>was liking the serious nature of this up until the

<v Speaker 1>very end. There. Yes, Eo was turned into a smurf

<v Speaker 1>yet again. Remember when Ryo was turned into a smurf.

<v Speaker 1>Now Eo is turned into a smurf. We had what

<v Speaker 1>they called a trios match, because this is the Lucha

<v Speaker 1>match of the night. You know, sometimes people get very

<v Speaker 1>angry at me when we have a six man tag

<v Speaker 1>on these shows and I call them a trios match

<v Speaker 1>like they do in AW It's not a trios match,

<v Speaker 1>it's a six man tag. Really, shut the fuck out.

<v Speaker 1>They called it a trios match with El Grande Americano, Kaiser,

<v Speaker 1>Ryo and Bravo against the og El Grande Americano and

<v Speaker 1>his new Men Los Americanos Hermanos Julio and Bruto Julius

<v Speaker 1>and Brutus Creed. Yes, I couldn't tell you the last

<v Speaker 1>time I saw them on Monday Night Raw. They have

<v Speaker 1>reappeared after months of being off the show under masks.

<v Speaker 1>They re emerged for this shit. It's not as if

<v Speaker 1>we have a tag team division that is do week

<v Speaker 1>by week, especially as they continue to fire various tag teams. Wait,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, we only lost two of the biggest tag

<v Speaker 1>teams in the company over the past week. Let's take

<v Speaker 1>these two men and bring them back and put them

<v Speaker 1>under masks. Let's do that. Actually, we have four men

<v Speaker 1>under masks if you want to count to Pete Dunn

<v Speaker 1>and Tyler Bait. I look, I don't like this stuff.

<v Speaker 1>I really don't like this stuff. It works in Triple A.

<v Speaker 1>The Americanos have a hot feud going right now, and

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have a hot blowoff in a couple of

<v Speaker 1>weeks or however, low three weeks, whatever it is. This

<v Speaker 1>shit absolutely sucks on these show I'm just gonna say it.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, this shit is awful. It is overdone. It

<v Speaker 1>has been dragged out for far too long, and they

<v Speaker 1>keep adding new mask men to this. It's like they're

<v Speaker 1>expanding the universe here. I don't need to see it

<v Speaker 1>on these shows. Keep this shit in Triple A. It's

<v Speaker 1>actually over there. They got a good thing going there

<v Speaker 1>for these next few weeks with these two guys focus

<v Speaker 1>on it there. I don't want to see it on

<v Speaker 1>these shows. So they have this match. Everybody's hitting, moves

<v Speaker 1>on everybody else. Gable hits the chaos theory and he

<v Speaker 1>goes up top. He hits the diving head butt on

<v Speaker 1>Ryo for the win. There you go. This shit can't

<v Speaker 1>end soon enough. They closed the show with the contract

<v Speaker 1>signing for backlash. Roman reigns out to the ring first,

<v Speaker 1>and then we had Jacob Fatu making his way out.

<v Speaker 1>They each take a seat. Roman of course, sat at

<v Speaker 1>the head of the table. He asks Omaha to acknowledge him.

<v Speaker 1>No MFTs that you get more masks. Yeah, I said,

<v Speaker 1>I wanted the end of the MFTs and the Wyots.

<v Speaker 1>I meant the feud. I didn't necessarily mean the literal

<v Speaker 1>end of the MFTs and the Wyats. And basically, the

<v Speaker 1>Wyots are gone and the MFTs are almost entirely gone.

<v Speaker 1>We're down to three. We were five, and now we're

<v Speaker 1>down to three. This Americano stuff is basically the MFTs

<v Speaker 1>of Monday nightra get it. Off my TV. I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to see it. So Roman says, you hear that,

<v Speaker 1>because that's not just love, that's the sound of respect.

<v Speaker 1>Jacob was grinding for what twelve years? Well, I've been

<v Speaker 1>here for over twelve years because I was the one

<v Speaker 1>that had my foot holding the door open for Solo says,

<v Speaker 1>Solo was the one who brought you in, right, Well,

<v Speaker 1>I brought Solo in, which means I brought you in also.

<v Speaker 1>And I'll be damned if there isn't going to be

<v Speaker 1>respect for me. There's got to be some kind of code,

<v Speaker 1>some kind of system with our family. There has to

<v Speaker 1>be a system of conduct that we can hang our

<v Speaker 1>hat on. He said. The tongue in death grip Jacob

<v Speaker 1>disrespects him with something that is to be saved for

<v Speaker 1>desperate measures. He goes, what are we in the bar?

<v Speaker 1>At three am? And they're surround at eight to one?

<v Speaker 1>Is that like Shawn Michaels with the nine Marines? I

<v Speaker 1>love how that number expanded somehow it blew up to

<v Speaker 1>nine Marines beat up Shawn Michaels in Syracuse even though

<v Speaker 1>it was like two, we'll call it nine. So he's like,

<v Speaker 1>what are we in the bar like that's when you

<v Speaker 1>use the Tonguan death grip. See, so I want everybody

<v Speaker 1>watching this to remember that the next time you find

<v Speaker 1>yourself in the bar at two o'clock in the morning

<v Speaker 1>and your boy is being harassed by somebody or he's

<v Speaker 1>being ganged up on by a bunch of people. I

<v Speaker 1>don't want you to break a beer bottle. I don't

<v Speaker 1>want you to bust out a gun or a knife

<v Speaker 1>for brass nuts or anything like that. You got to

<v Speaker 1>use the top death grip. That's when the Tonguan death

<v Speaker 1>grip is to be used, because I'm sure if you

<v Speaker 1>have a whole gang of people, you can just take

<v Speaker 1>him out like that with one tongue in death grip.

<v Speaker 1>You try that and see how that works out for you.

<v Speaker 1>Jacob goes, You've got it all wrong. Yeah, I'm desperate. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's me against the world and my

<v Speaker 1>back is against the wall. So I have no other

<v Speaker 1>choice but to take you out and take that title

<v Speaker 1>and everything that comes with it. And then he's gonna

<v Speaker 1>put a chokehold on this game and squeeze out every

<v Speaker 1>dollar in every cent, just the way this company's been

<v Speaker 1>doing to their family for decades. What he says all gas,

<v Speaker 1>no breaks. He means moving forward and never going back

<v Speaker 1>to where he came from. So yes, Roman, I am desperate,

<v Speaker 1>desperate enough to do anything for his household, even if

<v Speaker 1>he's got to run through his own blood. So Roman

<v Speaker 1>cut him off and said, let's just get this out

<v Speaker 1>of the way, so quickly he signs the contract. Roman said,

<v Speaker 1>Jacob's worried about seven kids. I'm worried about one hundred

<v Speaker 1>and seventy kids in our family. That's probably an underestimate

<v Speaker 1>there of the number of people in this family. It's

<v Speaker 1>this never ending family tree. I think he's underestimating the

<v Speaker 1>number of kids. But he's got to worry about the

<v Speaker 1>entire family because he's the one that can do that.

<v Speaker 1>He's got the proof of concept. This is all his,

<v Speaker 1>this is his ring. In this family, they're equals, they're

<v Speaker 1>of the same blood. But in this ring, you're beneath me.

<v Speaker 1>And as soon as he said that Jacob was beneath him,

<v Speaker 1>Fa too hurt enough and he attacked him. Roman hit

<v Speaker 1>him in the head with one of the announcer chairs.

<v Speaker 1>But Jacob went to apply the Tonguan death grip, and

<v Speaker 1>he didn't get it locked in. Roman went for a

<v Speaker 1>Superman punch right into the Tonguan death grip though out

<v Speaker 1>of mid air. Boy, they're really abusing this move, aren't they.

<v Speaker 1>So he got the death grip on him and then

<v Speaker 1>he put Roman through the table with or he went

<v Speaker 1>to go put him through the table with it, except

<v Speaker 1>the table did not break. No cooperation from the table here,

<v Speaker 1>so he just kind of flipped the table over onto him.

<v Speaker 1>And then Jacob signed the contract and you heard some

<v Speaker 1>pockets of fans chanting Fatu fa tu, which was good

<v Speaker 1>because last week he got booed after he put his

<v Speaker 1>hands on Roman. I'm like, what the fuck are you

<v Speaker 1>boeing this guy? For so at least this week the

<v Speaker 1>people in Omaha had some sense about them, and they

<v Speaker 1>were chanting for Fatu. I thought that this was a

<v Speaker 1>fine go home angle for Saturday. And for the second

<v Speaker 1>straight week. I will point out to you Roman gets

<v Speaker 1>put down. The ussos are in the building. They already

<v Speaker 1>established that they were there. The extent to which they

<v Speaker 1>were used on the show was that one little backstage

<v Speaker 1>segment with Jackie Redman that was it never came out

<v Speaker 1>though to help Roman. Second week in a row and

<v Speaker 1>as I pointed out earlier, all the times that they

<v Speaker 1>have ended up in the same spot with Jacob fat

<v Speaker 1>Tou come face to face, right, there's been these standoffs,

<v Speaker 1>no physicality between them. Jacob hasn't attacked them, They haven't

<v Speaker 1>put their hands on Jacob. There's a path, there is

<v Speaker 1>a path here for Jacob Fatu to win the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship and for the USOS to align with fa Tu,

<v Speaker 1>especially if Roman Reigns is in fact going to be

<v Speaker 1>gone for the entire month of June a clerical error.

<v Speaker 1>Apparently he was never supposed to be listed for those dates. Oops,

<v Speaker 1>my bad. So if he's gonna be off television for

<v Speaker 1>the entirety of June, I don't want him walking around

<v Speaker 1>with the World Heavyweight Championship. If it were up to me,

<v Speaker 1>I get that fucking belt off him as soon as possible.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's gonna happen. Though. There's a path,

<v Speaker 1>but I don't think they're gonna go ahead and take

<v Speaker 1>that opportunity. I just don't see them doing it. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think they have the balls. They just put the

<v Speaker 1>belt on him two weeks ago, two weeks ago. You

<v Speaker 1>really think they're gonna use Roman Ragins as a transitional

<v Speaker 1>champion to get the belt from CM Punk to Jacob Fatu,

<v Speaker 1>And that's how they're going to use Roman reigns. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I would imagine if Roman was willing to kind of

<v Speaker 1>do the honors like that for anybody who would be

<v Speaker 1>a member of the family. But still I just realistically

<v Speaker 1>can't see them doing that. And so I wonder, you know,

<v Speaker 1>what happens when when Jacob loses? You know, how are

<v Speaker 1>they going to continue pursuing this story when he loses?

<v Speaker 1>Because to me, that's the question. You know, does he

<v Speaker 1>fall in line and join with them on Raw That

<v Speaker 1>would be fucking boring, is it? You know, one and

<v Speaker 1>done and he goes back to SmackDown, because that would

<v Speaker 1>also be very dumb. So what is the end goal here?

<v Speaker 1>You know? See, I'm Punk after WrestleMania, came out on

<v Speaker 1>this show and said I'm not going anywhere. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>going on vacation and then proceeded to disappear for two weeks.

<v Speaker 1>He wasn't on the show last week, he wasn't on

<v Speaker 1>the show tonight, he wasn't on SmackDown, probably won't be

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown this week. Either, and if he's not going

<v Speaker 1>to smack Down, then I would presume that Fat two

<v Speaker 1>is going to be staying there. I think they should

<v Speaker 1>swap them. I think Punk should go to smack Down.

<v Speaker 1>I think Fat two should slide over to Raw again.

<v Speaker 1>That's the move I would make. But I thought on

<v Speaker 1>the whole it was a solid show, a bit of

<v Speaker 1>a mixed bag. Again, there was some stuff in the

<v Speaker 1>middle that I thought was boring and dragged it down

<v Speaker 1>a little bit. We got a fun tag team match

<v Speaker 1>though with the Intercontinental Champion all of his contenders, or

<v Speaker 1>at least some of them. We had the Oba Open Challenge.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that was enjoyable for what that was meant

<v Speaker 1>to be. The Americano stuff, I'm just I'm done. I'm

<v Speaker 1>done with that soul rook m Becky Lynch. I love

<v Speaker 1>that as a direction going forward whenever they do that match.

<v Speaker 1>And then we had the closing angle, you know, which

<v Speaker 1>sets up the main event for Saturday. They didn't really

<v Speaker 1>do anything out of out of the box here. It

<v Speaker 1>was pretty much more of the same. The contract has

<v Speaker 1>been signed and so we'll say, yeah, this is gonna

<v Speaker 1>be the biggest match of Jacob Fatu's life. He's getting

<v Speaker 1>a p l E main event against Roman Reigns for

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship. This is the biggest match of

<v Speaker 1>his career, win or lose. This is gonna be a

<v Speaker 1>big night for him on Saturday. And I think they're

<v Speaker 1>gonna go out there and I think they're gonna I

<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna kill it. You know, we saw the

<v Speaker 1>match that Roman had with Punk at wrestle Mania. There's

<v Speaker 1>no reason these two can't go out there and have

<v Speaker 1>a killer match. So whatever the outcome is, whether it's win, loser, draw,

<v Speaker 1>I expect these two to go out there and have

<v Speaker 1>a quality main event. But I am just genuinely very

<v Speaker 1>curious they rushed into this. Nobody was predicting this for

<v Speaker 1>the Backlash main event, and so they're doing it. It

<v Speaker 1>just feels to me like they're doing it for a reason.

<v Speaker 1>It just can't be a one and done type thing

<v Speaker 1>where he beats him and then they all just kind

<v Speaker 1>of go their's separate ways. There's got to be something

<v Speaker 1>else going on here, and the USO's are gonna be involved.

<v Speaker 1>The only question is what is it gonna be. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know. We'll find out together anyway,

<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys. I hope you enjoyed the review. I wish,

<v Speaker 1>I wish the overall show is more exciting, but we

<v Speaker 1>can pick out the things we like and the things

<v Speaker 1>we don't like. Hope they improve upon them next week.

<v Speaker 1>At least it's not SmackDown. It's the best compliment I

<v Speaker 1>can pay this show. At least it's not SmackDown. We

<v Speaker 1>got two more months by the way of three hour smackdowns.

<v Speaker 1>We gotta get through June before it goes back to

<v Speaker 1>two hours, so we got a ways to go. Unfortunately, Hey,

<v Speaker 1>look at that. I just noticed six out of ten

<v Speaker 1>on the bonus goal. Are we actually going to get

<v Speaker 1>a bonus be the booker tonight? I thought it was

<v Speaker 1>going to be a slow night, But I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>It may be doable, It might just be possible. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>what's the goal? Yeah, somebody wanted another goal. I think

<v Speaker 1>four to seventy five is the goal? Right, Yeah, we

<v Speaker 1>already beat the goal. We're five to forty five, so yeah,

<v Speaker 1>we already beat the goal. We got gmb bet it

<v Speaker 1>was miss who asked or was asked about the pay cut.

<v Speaker 1>What do you think I'm not going to speculate. I don't,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't want to start throwing names

<v Speaker 1>out there. We don't know who it was. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to talk more about that on the Young Crown Wrestling

<v Speaker 1>Show tomorrow. We got some news today, some more TKO bullshit,

<v Speaker 1>so I will weave that into the show tomorrow. By

<v Speaker 1>the way, congrats to the Knicks Game one. Now they

<v Speaker 1>move on to Game two. A lot of happy Knicks

<v Speaker 1>fans here in New York Lakers pats. Having to take

<v Speaker 1>a fifty percent pay cut while paying for your own

<v Speaker 1>expenses and healthcare is crazy. TKO is ruining or running

<v Speaker 1>ww Well, they're ruining it, but they're running WWE like

<v Speaker 1>an NFLGM trying to get under the salary cap. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>the sheltered kid with a nine ninety nine. I've been

<v Speaker 1>watching WWE since the age of three. I am now

<v Speaker 1>twenty been. Oh he met the New Day. Meeting the

<v Speaker 1>New Day with my dad meant a lot. WWE don't

<v Speaker 1>feel the same now. I'm not sure if I should

<v Speaker 1>throw in the towel on WWE, but I'll always support

<v Speaker 1>you Solo. Well, that's what I like to hear. Now.

<v Speaker 1>I feel you, man, I mean There's a lot of

<v Speaker 1>people I've heard from who feel the same way. They're

<v Speaker 1>just like, man, I want to keep up with what's

<v Speaker 1>going on, but I can't bring myself to watch it anymore.

<v Speaker 1>It's bad. It's just bad. You know. A lot of

<v Speaker 1>the fun has been sucked out of it. Sucks. You know,

<v Speaker 1>when you have something like that that you've been a

<v Speaker 1>fan of and you've watched for a long time and

<v Speaker 1>then you see it just change or it's just not

<v Speaker 1>the same anymore, sucks. You know. It's a shitty feeling. Deathsith.

<v Speaker 1>When KOFE and Woods turned on Big Ee once he

<v Speaker 1>left the ring, Kofee and Woods should have turned on

<v Speaker 1>each other, effectively ending the New Day. The moment would

<v Speaker 1>have even surpassed Seth turning on the Shield. Yeah, but

<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't have changed anything. It wouldn't have changed the

<v Speaker 1>outcome because if you split them all up, then you

<v Speaker 1>would have had two individuals that would have been doing

<v Speaker 1>nothing on the show instead of being a tag team

<v Speaker 1>doing nothing on the show. It clearly had no plans

<v Speaker 1>for either one of these guys. They never should have

<v Speaker 1>re signed last year. They should have said, you know what,

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go We're gonna go somewhere else. Robbie h five,

<v Speaker 1>John Cen is history making news. Guys. Let me tell

<v Speaker 1>you where Wrestle Minnie of forty four might be taking place.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll see. Yeah, John Cen is gonna make some

<v Speaker 1>big historic announcements on Saturday. Yeah. Sure, I'm sure it's

<v Speaker 1>Club WWE related this their new fan club. Also, Robbie says,

<v Speaker 1>they just put the Creed Brothers in masks. Are you

<v Speaker 1>still sure about your prediction for the mask versus mask match?

<v Speaker 1>Remember this is WWE making sense out of the senseless.

<v Speaker 1>Somebody's got to lose their mask, and I just don't

<v Speaker 1>see it being Kaiser because Kaiser is still super over.

<v Speaker 1>I would think that if this was the decision being

<v Speaker 1>made from above, the Undertaker would try to convince them otherwise.

<v Speaker 1>We need this guy. Just get the mask off of

<v Speaker 1>Gable and be done with that already. There's no need

<v Speaker 1>for this man to be kept under a mask for

<v Speaker 1>another six months. It's ridiculous. At this point, Dry Chicken

<v Speaker 1>says money and greed over logic and common sense from TKO,

<v Speaker 1>I tried to give Nick Con the benefit of the doubt,

<v Speaker 1>but after hearing his garbage coming out of his mouth.

<v Speaker 1>He can piss off. Yeah. I talked about that on

<v Speaker 1>the sound off too this weekend. If you missed it,

<v Speaker 1>go check that out. Barry MK says guest. WWE gave

<v Speaker 1>up on Natty and Maxine. Oh, they gave up on

<v Speaker 1>them after week one. Yeah, it was basically over. I

<v Speaker 1>think they ran it back once more, but yeah, it

<v Speaker 1>was over. It was over from the first night. And

<v Speaker 1>as I feared from the very beginning quote unquote blood Sport,

<v Speaker 1>Natty was never gonna work in WWE. They were always

<v Speaker 1>it was a half asked, half hearted attempt to actually

<v Speaker 1>do something with her. They were never going to allow

<v Speaker 1>it to be anything more than what you saw on TV.

<v Speaker 1>It was a gigantic waste of everybody's time. Hey, Oscar,

<v Speaker 1>with rumors of salary cuts, I just want to say

<v Speaker 1>one thing. Know you're worth I say it all the time.

<v Speaker 1>You know, stand up for yourself. And if you feel

<v Speaker 1>that you're worth something, and you know the company you

<v Speaker 1>work for feels otherwise, stand up for yourself. You know

<v Speaker 1>what you're worth death sith. Randy Orton has publicly stated

<v Speaker 1>he needs to get in the ring with CM punk

<v Speaker 1>at some point. Before it's all said and done. We've

<v Speaker 1>never had a program between Heal Orton and baby Face Punk,

<v Speaker 1>especially after the first pipe bomb. Yeah, I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if we're ever gonna get it. Honestly, I know Orton

<v Speaker 1>wants to wrestle until he's fifty, but I don't know

<v Speaker 1>Heal Orton and baby Face Punk. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>the stars are going to align for that one. Dry

<v Speaker 1>Chicken says, break out the tequila and happy. Cinco de

<v Speaker 1>Mayo Ye says, I'm just so sad for Tonga Loa superfan.

<v Speaker 1>You know, when Togaloa was out with his injury, Togoala

<v Speaker 1>superfan was all over these superchats and then he came

<v Speaker 1>back to TV and he disappeared. So I wouldn't be

<v Speaker 1>shocked if we see the return very soon of Toga

<v Speaker 1>Loa superfan. Alex with a five out of all days

<v Speaker 1>for Michael Cole to say trouble in Paradise. He chooses

<v Speaker 1>to say it on the first show without Kofe. Good job,

<v Speaker 1>wwe Death's I can't believe my superchat last week started

<v Speaker 1>a horror movie debate, which reminds me I know a

<v Speaker 1>Batman villain that would make a great horror movie, Ventriloquist

<v Speaker 1>and Scarface. I'm just looking forward to Clayface later this year. Also,

<v Speaker 1>he says, and their theme song should be Sad but

<v Speaker 1>True by Metallica because the lyrics were inspired by the

<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy eight horror film Magic, which features a ventriloquists

<v Speaker 1>dummy controlling its owner. Really, that sounds interesting. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think I ever saw that. I definitely never saw that.

<v Speaker 1>Is that worth looking into Bobby's world? When I first

<v Speaker 1>heard about Jacob and the Mystery Caller, I went with

<v Speaker 1>this shit again face palm moment. But I've had too

<v Speaker 1>many concussions in my life. It's not worth it. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you know, they showed that on their social media on Friday.

<v Speaker 1>There was no mention of that tonight. Hopefully they've abandoned

<v Speaker 1>that dumb whatever the fucking idea was, fucking rehashing stories

<v Speaker 1>from six weeks ago. This is where we are now

<v Speaker 1>with this company. It's not enough to rehash stories from

<v Speaker 1>like six years ago, and now we're rehashing there from

<v Speaker 1>six weeks ago, and not even good ones. No mention

<v Speaker 1>of that tonight, by the way, No no Mystery phone Caller.

<v Speaker 1>Joe Law with a nineteen ninety nine look at this

<v Speaker 1>guy showing off solo? My dog loved the podcast from Detroit.

<v Speaker 1>Is set the best number one technical wrestler but number

<v Speaker 1>two character of his generation. How long before we see

<v Speaker 1>Omas against Oba? I think there's a very good chance

<v Speaker 1>that Omas will accept the open challenge one of these weeks.

<v Speaker 1>I think probably a few weeks, and then we get it.

<v Speaker 1>It's set the best number one technical wrestler and number

<v Speaker 1>two character. You know what he may be. I think

<v Speaker 1>you may be onto something there. Time we see Tangaloa

<v Speaker 1>is the botch falling off a t Yeah. That will

<v Speaker 1>go down as the final Toangloa appearance, which is actually

<v Speaker 1>very appropriate. On SmackDown last week, he was placed on

<v Speaker 1>the table outside the ring the announced desk, and Jacob

<v Speaker 1>was gonna splash him off the barricade, but he fell,

<v Speaker 1>He rolled, he fell off the table, so Jacob had

<v Speaker 1>to climb back down and place him back on the team.

<v Speaker 1>A very appropriate final appearance for Tongaloa. Dried Chicken says

<v Speaker 1>tag team wrestling is dead in WWE. It's like the Titanic, Dude,

<v Speaker 1>It's not even the Titanic. It's like finding a dead

<v Speaker 1>body buried after it's been you know, buried six feet

<v Speaker 1>under for six months. You know, the rig of mortis

<v Speaker 1>has set in. The worms were crawling out of the

<v Speaker 1>eye sockets. It's been dead for a while. Justin g

<v Speaker 1>the Grande verse cannot be denied. This week's episode is

<v Speaker 1>spawned by Wicks. I know there's quite a few of

<v Speaker 1>you who listen to this podcast who are small business

<v Speaker 1>owners as I am, and I don't have an active,

<v Speaker 1>dedicated website at the moment like I used to. But

<v Speaker 1>I may have to jump back in feet first sued

<v Speaker 1>because wix Harmony is the kind of resource that I

<v Speaker 1>wish existed back when I created my first website, and

<v Speaker 1>having had the chance to play around with it, I

<v Speaker 1>can tell you if you're thinking about creating your own site,

<v Speaker 1>wis is going to make your life a lot easier.

<v Speaker 1>Wis Harmony is an AI website builder that allows you

<v Speaker 1>to build your own site and get it up super

<v Speaker 1>fast without the need to cut corners and leap things out.

<v Speaker 1>So if you can close your eyes and picture your

<v Speaker 1>ideal website, wix can turn that vision into a reality

<v Speaker 1>just by describing your idea. Then you can choose between

<v Speaker 1>of businesses that already use Wix and try wix Harmony

<v Speaker 1>for free right now at wis dot com slash Harmony.

<v Speaker 1>That's wis dot com slash Harmony. That's a great point.

<v Speaker 1>Deputy Dog makes a great point Toangaloa. Watched his debut

<v Speaker 1>and his final appearance. That's why I call him the

<v Speaker 1>Great Tangaloa. Who else can pull that off, but Tangaloa

<v Speaker 1>he did. He batched his debut at Backlash a couple

<v Speaker 1>of years ago, whatever it was, and then he botched

<v Speaker 1>his finale. That takes talent uh mactub rank based on

<v Speaker 1>their work in the attitude there at Triple A Folly

<v Speaker 1>in Taker h Well Foley's Number one Folly did so

<v Speaker 1>much for so many rock Triple H just by working

<v Speaker 1>with them Undertaker, you know, at a time when Undertaker

<v Speaker 1>didn't really have any adversaries quite like him. It's just

<v Speaker 1>a lot of big stiffs. Yeah, Fully Fully number one,

<v Speaker 1>Triple H and then Taker Jr. Shaer H O G

<v Speaker 1>A t L. Why so much blowing and grinding today.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you're asking me. I'm just I'm

<v Speaker 1>just describing the show to you. You'd have to ask

<v Speaker 1>WWE and the writers. As far as H O G

<v Speaker 1>A t L. I can tell you this, It's actually

<v Speaker 1>funny you bring that up. I just had an we

<v Speaker 1>just had a conversation about that today. As a matter

<v Speaker 1>of fact, nothing scheduled, but it definitely is on the agenda.

<v Speaker 1>We will we will make our way out to Atlanta,

<v Speaker 1>guaranteed at some point. I just can't tell you exactly when,

<v Speaker 1>but it's been discussed. Mac tub Greater Legacy, Personal Choice,

<v Speaker 1>Punk Brian. I mean, I don't know what does that

<v Speaker 1>even mean. Legacy, I mean legacy. I guess i'd go Punk.

<v Speaker 1>Personal choice, I mean personal choice, I'd probably go Brian.

<v Speaker 1>But you know, both very important influential figures in that

<v Speaker 1>twenty tens era of WWE, very, very influential. Big Hoss

<v Speaker 1>Los Garza's should have been in the vision, not Paul

<v Speaker 1>and Theory. No, they never would have put them in

<v Speaker 1>the vision. The vision is an actual priority for them

<v Speaker 1>on the television show Lost Garza was never going to

<v Speaker 1>be a priority for them. Never. There was a zero

<v Speaker 1>percent chance it even came up in any conversation of

<v Speaker 1>having them in the vision. Dried Chicken says I wish

<v Speaker 1>Oba f was an IWGP champion for New Japan. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>that would be something I'm sure Ghetto would love to

<v Speaker 1>get his hands on. Obafemi, wouldn't that be something justin

<v Speaker 1>g anyone else smells something cooking for backlash, don't make

<v Speaker 1>the mistake of getting your hopes up. It feels like

<v Speaker 1>something in the main event should be should be cooking.

<v Speaker 1>But I've long stopped giving these people the benefit of

<v Speaker 1>the doubt. I'm not even I'm not even gonna go

<v Speaker 1>down that road. Oh, look at this Tonga Loa super

<v Speaker 1>fan is with us with a ten dollars super chat.

<v Speaker 1>Oh Man. May third is officially the darkest day in

<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling history. Toga Loa, the wrestler of our generation,

<v Speaker 1>has been let go. WWE just lost the beating heart

<v Speaker 1>of the company hashtag then Loa forever you forgot together

<v Speaker 1>at the end. We'll all get through this together. I'm

<v Speaker 1>very sorry, Tanga looa superfan. I know that you're in

<v Speaker 1>deep mourning right now. We're all thinking about you. Don Stony,

<v Speaker 1>second time in a live sole Monster chat and still

<v Speaker 1>enjoying this shit. Keep on keeping on, thank you, Don Stony.

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you enjoy it. I will keep keeping on

<v Speaker 1>with these super chats here because we've got Alexander who

<v Speaker 1>says you think TKO will take WrestleMania to North Korea? Well,

<v Speaker 1>if Kim Jong un could give them a tax incentive

<v Speaker 1>and cut a check big enough, yes, I do. I

<v Speaker 1>think that they would bring it to North Korea. Togolo

<v Speaker 1>is superfan. I could hear the tears in your voice.

<v Speaker 1>You were holding back when you talked about Togaloa's release yesterday.

<v Speaker 1>Don't worry Solo. We all felt the same was it

<v Speaker 1>was tough. It was tough, but I got through it somehow.

<v Speaker 1>Uh super camfit. How hard is mcdonnaugh's skull. Finn stood

<v Speaker 1>after the hammer, but that's true, he actually got hit

<v Speaker 1>with a hammer. The hammer didn't knock him down. But

<v Speaker 1>JD mcdonne's head did. That's a that's a big head.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, it's a giant head. It's that reminds

<v Speaker 1>me of when Prince Albert used to come out on

<v Speaker 1>raw and Jim Ross wouldn't shut up about how big

<v Speaker 1>his head was. Oh eight and three eights every fucking

<v Speaker 1>time you would come out, old eate in three eights.

<v Speaker 1>He's got a big head. You may as well use it.

<v Speaker 1>Nine out of ten, look at that on the goal.

<v Speaker 1>One more. We're gonna get double B the Booker tonight.

<v Speaker 1>But anyway, super camfit. Thank you. No, we got a

<v Speaker 1>few more here, don't we me refresh this list. Let's

<v Speaker 1>see who we have left. Who wants to get in

<v Speaker 1>on the party? Johnny Boy to twenty two the four

<v Speaker 1>ninety nine. He says, sorry to burden you, but my

<v Speaker 1>girlfriend broke up with me and I'm crushed. I tried

<v Speaker 1>so hard not to break down in tears. Please give

<v Speaker 1>me encouragement. I'm empty. Well is it you tell me?

<v Speaker 1>Is it over over? Do you think? Or is there

<v Speaker 1>still a chance like is this something that's happened before

<v Speaker 1>or is this something that kind of caught you by surprise.

<v Speaker 1>It sounds like it's something that caught you by surprise

<v Speaker 1>and it's probably over. And so my advice to you

<v Speaker 1>would be, there's nothing I could say right now that's

<v Speaker 1>gonna make you feel any better. You're gonna feel like shit,

<v Speaker 1>which is totally normal and it sucks. But what I

<v Speaker 1>can tell you, I know it sounds cliche, but there

<v Speaker 1>are a lot of options out there. It's a big

<v Speaker 1>sea with a lot of creatures in the sea. Some

<v Speaker 1>of the creatures are very scary. They are they'll bite

<v Speaker 1>you on the nuts. But then you have other creatures

<v Speaker 1>in the sea that are actually very nice. They're nice

<v Speaker 1>to look at. They let you get close. You will

<v Speaker 1>find the creature that belongs to you. She's out there somewhere,

<v Speaker 1>I promise you. So don't let this get you down

<v Speaker 1>for too long, because you gotta get back out there

<v Speaker 1>and you will find that right person. Everybody in the

<v Speaker 1>chat will will agree with me, and they will tell

<v Speaker 1>you the same thing. San Juan Wolf in nineteen ninety nine,

<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, golden, Golden Lovers. I wasn't gonna say that

<v Speaker 1>one man's one man's trash is another man's treasure. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>come on now, I was trying to be what was

<v Speaker 1>trying to be nice about this? Ah, San Juan Wolf says,

<v Speaker 1>up solo, just getting off work and realized I missed

<v Speaker 1>damn near the entire stream. Still wanted to pop in

<v Speaker 1>quick to say what's up and show some love. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you doing that, and the stream will be

<v Speaker 1>here for you in its entirety when we are done,

<v Speaker 1>so you will get to go back and check out

<v Speaker 1>all the good stuff that you missed. That's right. You

<v Speaker 1>gotta get back on that horse, Johnny. Don't let it

<v Speaker 1>keep you down for too long. The worst thing you

<v Speaker 1>could do is obsess over it and let it just

<v Speaker 1>ruin your your your life for weeks on end. That's

<v Speaker 1>not going to do anybody any good. We have true

<v Speaker 1>crime unleashed. Stevie Richards showed praise to you today. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I got a lot of messages about that. I appreciate that.

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate Stevie. He's good people. Toga Loa superfan with

<v Speaker 1>another ten Tanga Loa will now be the hottest free

<v Speaker 1>agent in over a decade. Heck Tony is frothing at

<v Speaker 1>the mouth of running back Loa and Okada Awe inspirings.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, they're inspiring match from the g One

<v Speaker 1>climax now, but in an aw ring, I had forgotten

<v Speaker 1>about that. Just reminded me about that match. We just

<v Speaker 1>hit the bonus call, by the way, But yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>had forgotten about that g One match. God, what year

<v Speaker 1>was that? I don't even remember what year that was.

<v Speaker 1>It was a while ago though, justin g between Becky

<v Speaker 1>and j D. The Irish couldn't get a break about

<v Speaker 1>having big heads tonight I got nothing. Also, ten out

<v Speaker 1>of ten? Hell yeah, man, ten out of ten. Now

<v Speaker 1>we got to get eleven out of ten, twelve out

<v Speaker 1>of ten death side. I bet Randy Orton watched I

<v Speaker 1>bet Randy Orton watched Elfin liede Elfin Lied sometime in

<v Speaker 1>the late two thousands, looked at Lucy and said to himself,

<v Speaker 1>that's my gimmick going for What the hell is Elfin Lied?

<v Speaker 1>I thought that said elden Ring for a second, because

<v Speaker 1>I know Randy Orton's a big elden Ring guy. I

<v Speaker 1>never heard of. Is that a movie? Elfin Lied? What

<v Speaker 1>the fuck is that? Arabian night? No La night tonight?

<v Speaker 2>Uh?

<v Speaker 1>Oh, to be honest, he should you know? You know

<v Speaker 1>why we didn't get any La Night Tonight. Oh it's

<v Speaker 1>an anime. How am I supposed to know that? The fuck?

<v Speaker 1>Come on now expect me to know this. It's called

<v Speaker 1>elf Elphine Lead. It's like Luis writing in and asking

<v Speaker 1>me questions about yu Gi. Oh what the fuck are

<v Speaker 1>you asking me this for? Well, thank you for clarifying. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>but the reason we didn't see La Night to Night,

<v Speaker 1>you know why, because they had they changed their minds

<v Speaker 1>and they had gunned through attack Cody Roads on Fridays.

<v Speaker 1>So that little confrontation with La Knight and Gunther in

<v Speaker 1>the back last week that never happened. It never even happened.

<v Speaker 1>You didn't see nothing. EJ Slim Buyer Cell, which absurd

<v Speaker 1>match stipulation would actually be great AJ Styles versus William

<v Speaker 1>Regal low Blow or June Akayama against Jado in a tuxedo.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see either one of these matches. Actually,

<v Speaker 1>you know what, I take that back, AJ Styles and

<v Speaker 1>William Regal low Blow. I'll watch that alright. Let's refresh

<v Speaker 1>this again, get them all on screen so you guys

<v Speaker 1>can follow along with me. Here, here we go. Uh

<v Speaker 1>Tonga loa super fan. The way he entered the company

<v Speaker 1>is the same way that he left the company, by

<v Speaker 1>putting smiles on everyone's face is watching. At the very least,

<v Speaker 1>we will have his Hall of Fame induction to look

<v Speaker 1>forward to. Tongaloa will return. It's gonna be a hell

<v Speaker 1>of a speech. Accidentally knocked the podium over, it'll just

<v Speaker 1>collapse on stage. Larry Jester, do you think Dan Hausen's

<v Speaker 1>partner could be Papa Shango but he misses his cue?

<v Speaker 1>Maybe he'll do what Braun did at WrestleMania at thirty

<v Speaker 1>four and pick the referees, kid, I mean, based on

<v Speaker 1>current WWE creative That sounds about right as far as

<v Speaker 1>something that they would do. I know Godfather was not

<v Speaker 1>a fan of the Papa Shango gimmick. I don't know that. Well,

<v Speaker 1>for a payday, he probably would sidrow. Hey, soh sidro

<v Speaker 1>my god, look at this? Oh well well well, well

<v Speaker 1>well well look what the cat drug in. Why is

<v Speaker 1>your nose in the middle of your face because it's

<v Speaker 1>the center s c E E E E A E

<v Speaker 1>I oh h s C E n T e r haha.

<v Speaker 1>And what do you call a joke made in the

<v Speaker 1>fifth month of the year a may Zing. All right,

<v Speaker 1>you won me back with that one. You won me

<v Speaker 1>back with that last one. Dried chicken, burritos, tacos, nachos,

<v Speaker 1>and quesadillas. Pick one to eat. I don't eat any

<v Speaker 1>of them. Sorry, that's not the question for me. If

<v Speaker 1>you force me, though, I mean, I go burrito. I

<v Speaker 1>guess I'll go burrito and then uh fuck, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know taco. You can't enjoy any of that stuff though.

<v Speaker 1>Without the cheese, I'd have to have cheeseless. Case of

<v Speaker 1>the is and cheeseless. What's the point. There's no point

<v Speaker 1>in having any of them if you can't fully enjoy

<v Speaker 1>them the way they're meant to be enjoyed. I gotta

<v Speaker 1>I gotta go over for and say no, I don't

<v Speaker 1>need any of those. I'm sorry, can't do it the

<v Speaker 1>average grunt. I'm starting to think that they should just

<v Speaker 1>kill all the tag titles for good and focus exclusively

<v Speaker 1>on singles. It's clear now more than ever that tag

<v Speaker 1>team Wrestling and ww E peaked at Wrestle Mini at

<v Speaker 1>thirty nine. Yeah, I mean it's it's it's dead in

<v Speaker 1>this company. There's no need for two sets of tag belts.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure there's really a reason to have one

<v Speaker 1>set of tag belts. They do more with the women's

<v Speaker 1>tag belts at this point anyway. So I mean, just

<v Speaker 1>just get rid of them, seriously, just get rid of them.

<v Speaker 1>Death Sith says, it's an anime and it's extremely violent,

<v Speaker 1>and Lucy is cold and calculating, and she can strike

<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere and she hears voices in her head. Hmm. Interesting,

<v Speaker 1>Don Stony hashtag solo mangah ej Slim buy or sell

<v Speaker 1>absurd versus serious Ai generated be the booker Nick Wayne

<v Speaker 1>versus bashn Booker or Satoshi ko Jima versus Steve Blackman.

<v Speaker 1>I'll take Steve Blackman and Satoshi Kojima that see that

<v Speaker 1>match would would kick all kinds of ass. I think

<v Speaker 1>you can. You can have your bastion booger. I want

<v Speaker 1>no part of that. I don't think Nick Wayne wants

<v Speaker 1>any part of that either. So we hit our goal,

<v Speaker 1>and we hit the bonus goal. You guys did your part,

<v Speaker 1>which means it is now time. It is now time

<v Speaker 1>to be the booker. It this is how you want

<v Speaker 1>to start the week. You want to start the week.

<v Speaker 2>Uh, it will be the booker action going on? Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>all right, tag team, be the booker. Here we go.

<v Speaker 2>I want to book some matches. That's what I want

<v Speaker 2>to do. I want to book. This just makes me sad.

<v Speaker 2>This just makes me say, you know, what's even sadder.

<v Speaker 2>For as much as I've advocated for this a Luca

<v Speaker 2>Brothers reunion, I don't want to see it anymore. I

<v Speaker 2>don't want to see it. There's no point in doing

<v Speaker 2>a Luca brothers reunion in ww anymore. Do it in TRIPAA.

<v Speaker 1>But doing it in WWI doesn't make any sense because

<v Speaker 1>they have nobody to work with. Who they going to

<v Speaker 1>work with? The USOS? I guess it's about it. There's

<v Speaker 1>no division, there's nobody for them to work with. It

<v Speaker 1>would be a downgrade for Penta. But guess what, we

<v Speaker 1>have them here and be the booker because we actually

<v Speaker 1>have a division here. Penta and Ray Phoenix are going

<v Speaker 1>to be taking on Penta and Ray Phoenix. How about that?

<v Speaker 1>How about that? This is gonna be Luca madness. Holy fuck,

<v Speaker 1>we have the Luca brothers against the Luca brothers. That's

<v Speaker 1>how we start. Be the booker tonight. What just happened here?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know but I know it's gonna be very

<v Speaker 1>hard for me to keep notes during this match with

<v Speaker 1>all the shit that's gonna be going on. It's gonna

<v Speaker 1>slap your damn right. It is holy. She's gonna be

<v Speaker 1>the match of the year. I wasn't expecting that. Oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, how many Mexican destroyers. Yes, the answer is yes,

<v Speaker 1>thunder Rosa. We just had thunder Rosa in an House

<v Speaker 1>of Glory on Friday. She made her hog debut, very

<v Speaker 1>successful debut over Britney Brooks, had a good match, and

<v Speaker 1>now she's here. Thunder Rosa gonna go one on one

<v Speaker 1>with Priscilla Kelly, give that the bell. Don't know that

<v Speaker 1>that match has ever taken place before. I think that

<v Speaker 1>would be a first time ever. And now our main event,

<v Speaker 1>our Night one main Events, because we got one more

<v Speaker 1>to come. Boy, this guy, let me tell you something.

<v Speaker 1>We are seeing him more in retirement than we did

<v Speaker 1>when he was active. He's popping up at WrestleMania, He's

<v Speaker 1>popping up at Backlash this weekend. Now Johnson is getting

<v Speaker 1>back in the ring. He's going full jeorts and T

<v Speaker 1>shirt and hat, the whole nine yards. John Cena is

<v Speaker 1>in our main event. Can we book a better match

<v Speaker 1>for him than Triple H did on his retirement tour?

<v Speaker 1>To find out, Randy Orton forces Adam Pearce to add

<v Speaker 1>a stipulation to your match. My god, I got scared.

<v Speaker 1>I thought we were doing John Cena versus Randy Orton.

<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna throw my hands up in the air.

<v Speaker 1>We're not going with Randy Orton. We have to pick

<v Speaker 1>a stipulation. So before we can pick Seena's opponent, we

<v Speaker 1>need to know what kind of match it's gonna be.

<v Speaker 1>This match is going to be a strap match. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>Actually John Cena had a strap match, did he not?

<v Speaker 1>With that man right there with Umaga. A very memorable one,

<v Speaker 1>although I don't know if it was a strip. It

<v Speaker 1>wasn't a strap match, was it. It wasn't. It was

<v Speaker 1>last man standing, I think, but there was. Oh you

<v Speaker 1>know what, now I'm thinking of the rope that he

<v Speaker 1>wrapped around his throat. It wasn't a strap match. It's

<v Speaker 1>the last man's standing match. Anyway. Now we have our

<v Speaker 1>stand Now we just need to pick an opponent. Oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, that what a horrible match. Oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>the stuff of nightmares. Ah, John Cena against the giant Gonzales.

<v Speaker 1>That sounds awful, absolutely awful. This guy, he's got fur

<v Speaker 1>all over his body. He's got fur on his crotch,

<v Speaker 1>air brushed abs. Who leads the match? Who's the ring

<v Speaker 1>general here? I'm predicting that John Cena will tap out

<v Speaker 1>with a smile on his face at the end of

<v Speaker 1>the match. We were very close to a clean sweep,

<v Speaker 1>and then the old Jorge over here had to ruin

<v Speaker 1>it for us. What a horrendous match this would be,

<v Speaker 1>Oh god, be awful. The good news, though, is that

<v Speaker 1>because we unlocked a second round, we don't have to

<v Speaker 1>end here. We don't have to end on such a

<v Speaker 1>sour note. Don't you dare be sour because we got

<v Speaker 1>one more round? Here be the booker, come in your way.

<v Speaker 1>But this time we get to pick stipulations. Those are

<v Speaker 1>the rules. A good old fashioned steel cage match is

<v Speaker 1>going to guide us here into a tag team bout.

<v Speaker 1>We've there have been many great tag team cage matches

<v Speaker 1>over the years. Choose two single stars to form a

<v Speaker 1>makeshift team on my favorite thing, makeshift tag teams. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>we got to pick four individual stars, so we'll go

<v Speaker 1>with Ricochet. The now former ae W national champion. All right,

<v Speaker 1>you got you gotta go to work, Ricochet put the

<v Speaker 1>phone down, no more tweeting Ricochet and his partner The

<v Speaker 1>Beast Mortosoo, Beast Mortals and Ricochet. What a team that is? Huh?

<v Speaker 1>We'll call them Bald and the Beast. How's that for

<v Speaker 1>a tag team name? Bald and the Beast are going

<v Speaker 1>to be taking on Hangman Adam Page and his tag

<v Speaker 1>team partner, The Learning Tree Chris Jericho, Hangman and Jericho

<v Speaker 1>against Ricochet and the Beast Mortos. I you know, I

<v Speaker 1>like that match. I think that'd be a good tag

<v Speaker 1>team match. That is weird. How it's it's it is

<v Speaker 1>an entirely aw match. How the hell did that happen?

<v Speaker 1>I spun the wheel four times here and we lend

<v Speaker 1>it on all aw guys. What are the chances of that?

<v Speaker 1>Tony Kahan is he's already the graphic is being made

<v Speaker 1>as we speak. It's gonna be your main event next

<v Speaker 1>week on Dynamite. There it is bookt all right, Well,

<v Speaker 1>we got our tech team match. Now we need a

<v Speaker 1>women's match, a women's hardcore match. Ladies are gonna get

<v Speaker 1>down and dirty tonight. Someone's getting hurt. Someone's gonna bleed.

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, someone's gonna bleed. All right, Naya Jacks is

<v Speaker 1>in the match. Better be careful to wear a suit

<v Speaker 1>of armor here when you come down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Nya Jacks in a hardcore match. Who wants to get

<v Speaker 1>hardcore with Na Jacks? Let's find out. Julia and Naya

<v Speaker 1>Jackson a hardcore match. Julia is gonna fuck her up.

<v Speaker 1>I want stardom Julia. She don't need no Kendo stick.

<v Speaker 1>Just let Julia be Julia. I'm giving that the bell.

<v Speaker 1>We got one more. Our main event of the evening

<v Speaker 1>is going to be the always entertaining and exciting stretcher

<v Speaker 1>match Sting. Not just any Sting. This is crow Sting.

<v Speaker 1>This is black and white Sting in a stretcher match.

<v Speaker 1>But against who you motherfucker Elgonde Americano and Sting. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give it, I'm gonna get that's a sweep.

<v Speaker 1>That's a sweep. And the only reason I'm giving it

<v Speaker 1>a bell is because Chad Gable is awesome and despite

<v Speaker 1>the gimmick, I think Chad Gable and Sting would be

<v Speaker 1>a very good match. But I am so done with

<v Speaker 1>this gimmick. Now it's now, it's pop. Now it's tormenting

<v Speaker 1>me after what I said about it earlier. Look at this,

<v Speaker 1>this is what pops up on my screen. Ridiculous and

<v Speaker 1>that is double be the booker. Yeah, that is a

<v Speaker 1>world that's a world heavyweight title match. You saw sting

<v Speaker 1>in the graphic. You have the world title over his

<v Speaker 1>shoulder Arabian Night. More releases are imminent. Worried for La

<v Speaker 1>and Julie. There is speculation out there that there are

<v Speaker 1>more releases coming. Nothing confirmed, but it's it's not looking good.

<v Speaker 1>I said after Julia lost that US title to Tiffany Stratton,

<v Speaker 1>I had a bad feeling for her. I hope I'm wrong.

<v Speaker 1>Dry Chicken says Luca Brothers versus Luca Brothers on Sinko

<v Speaker 1>de Mayo. Yeah, I didn't even notice that Dan Housen

<v Speaker 1>should curse the Braves. I agree. I think Dan Housen

<v Speaker 1>should transfer the Mets curse over to the Braves. EJ

<v Speaker 1>Slent by cell Rent Lucre Bros. Versus Luca Bros. Adam

<v Speaker 1>Cole twenty thirteen against Adam Cole twenty sixteen or Dusty

<v Speaker 1>Rhodes versus Dusty Rhodes. Those have all been booked, I

<v Speaker 1>believe and be the booker, but I'm buying on the

<v Speaker 1>Lucha Bros. Of course, and then Dusty and then Adam Cole.

<v Speaker 1>Dried chicken, says Nia Jacks again Stardham, Julia loser has

<v Speaker 1>to eat hot spicy peppers. Tell me, man, just just

<v Speaker 1>let Julia go in there and do her thing. And

<v Speaker 1>Craze cays. Can't wait for ad Lash this Saturday. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>this is just awful, so bad. Can't wait for us

<v Speaker 1>to get our dose of commercials with a little bit

<v Speaker 1>of wrestling sprinkled in. Can't wait. Be well, stay safe,
