<v Speaker 1>What is going on? Guys? It is another Monday Night.

<v Speaker 1>Welcome May eighteenth, twenty twenty six. I am the Solemn

<v Speaker 1>Monster here with you for another mundane night Raw review.

<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny we were talking about the Oba

<v Speaker 1>Femi Open Challenge last week. Now it almost seemed like

<v Speaker 1>they were running out of ideas. Last week. They couldn't

<v Speaker 1>find anybody to accept the Open Challenge. He had to

<v Speaker 1>go to the back and he found Angel and Berdo.

<v Speaker 1>He had to drag them out there and beat them up.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, well, I don't think they can get

<v Speaker 1>six more weeks out of this, a few more weeks

<v Speaker 1>at the most. How are they going to end this

<v Speaker 1>Open Challenge gimmick? Like? What is the end game here

<v Speaker 1>for the Open Challenge? Well, we got our answer tonight.

<v Speaker 1>We found out the Open Challenge is over. But the

<v Speaker 1>reason that the Open Challenge is over is not the

<v Speaker 1>reason I was expecting. The biggest story coming out of

<v Speaker 1>Raw tonight, the biggest shock, the biggest surprise, and honestly,

<v Speaker 1>the only real thing to even focus on news wise

<v Speaker 1>coming out of this show, because it was a very

<v Speaker 1>nothing show otherwise, was the return of brock Lesner. He

<v Speaker 1>is in fact not retired. Now, I was not convinced

<v Speaker 1>he was retired officially, but I certainly was not expecting

<v Speaker 1>to see him tonight. That was quite the surprise seeing

<v Speaker 1>him pop up tonight two weeks out, less than two

<v Speaker 1>weeks out from Clash in Italy. We have a Saturday

<v Speaker 1>Night's mad An event coming up this weekend. This was

<v Speaker 1>not on my Bengo card of things that I was expecting.

<v Speaker 1>But if you go back to the WrestleMania review when

<v Speaker 1>he lost to Obafemi and everybody was talking about, oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, you know brock Brock is crying. Look how

<v Speaker 1>emotional he's getting in the middle of the and I said, eh,

<v Speaker 1>doesn't really look like he's crying. To me. He looks

<v Speaker 1>like somebody who's trying to pretend that he's crying or

<v Speaker 1>trying to force himself to cry. I'm like, what are

<v Speaker 1>these people seeing that I'm not seeing that. It looks

<v Speaker 1>like do you see tears streaming down the man's face.

<v Speaker 1>He looked like somebody playing the role of someone who

<v Speaker 1>was supposed to be crying. So I was not fully

<v Speaker 1>convinced that this man was retired. And then Mike Johnson,

<v Speaker 1>a PW Insider about a week or so ago had

<v Speaker 1>a report that said, even though WWE sort of outwardly

<v Speaker 1>is projecting that brock Lesner was retired, and I think

<v Speaker 1>they may have moved him to the alumni section on

<v Speaker 1>their website, that internally he was still listed on the

<v Speaker 1>active roster. And so here we are. Brock Lesnar comes out,

<v Speaker 1>he ambushes Oba Femi from behind, and he delivers four

<v Speaker 1>f fives and he leaves the man laying, and then

<v Speaker 1>we come to find out later on after the commercial break,

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman handed a contract to Adam Pearson said, there's

<v Speaker 1>already a signature on the contract brock Legner. By the way,

<v Speaker 1>now I'm wondering if maybe we didn't see brock Lesner tonight,

<v Speaker 1>maybe this was his evil twin. Maybe the real brock

<v Speaker 1>is retired and this is his evil twin brock Legner,

<v Speaker 1>because that's what Paul Haman called him. But brock Legner

<v Speaker 1>has put his his John Hancock on the contract. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>he put his cock on the contract, and all Obafemi

<v Speaker 1>has to do now is sign it and the match

<v Speaker 1>will be official for Clash in Italy. So that was

<v Speaker 1>the big development coming out of this show. Tonight. I'm

<v Speaker 1>looking at this. First of all, does this surprise me? No?

<v Speaker 1>Does this disappoint me? Yes? Because I still maintain that

<v Speaker 1>that match of WrestleMania, or brock put him over and

<v Speaker 1>then had his little retire and send off would have

<v Speaker 1>been legitimately the perfect way for brock Lesnar to ride

<v Speaker 1>off into the sunset like that would have been the

<v Speaker 1>perfect closing chapter if that was the last match, if

<v Speaker 1>that was the end of his career, being able to

<v Speaker 1>go out putting over the next big thing in the company,

<v Speaker 1>getting the kind of response from the crowd in Las

<v Speaker 1>Vegas that he got, waving to the crowd, getting this

<v Speaker 1>big ovation, that one last walk up that long ramp,

<v Speaker 1>right what a big sendoff a WrestleMania, fifty thousand plus people.

<v Speaker 1>It would have been a great sendoff for brock. I said,

<v Speaker 1>there was no need for him to come back and

<v Speaker 1>extend this. But this is brock Lesnar. Brock Lesner doesn't

<v Speaker 1>give a shit about that. Brock Lesner doesn't give a

<v Speaker 1>shit about happy moments. He doesn't care about his legacy.

<v Speaker 1>This is his legacy right here. When the day comes

<v Speaker 1>that he physically can't do it anymore, or he genuinely

<v Speaker 1>just doesn't want to do this anymore. Then he'll retire,

<v Speaker 1>and he'll you'll probably retire with very little fanfare. But

<v Speaker 1>in the meantime he's got more business to transact. We're

<v Speaker 1>going to get a rematch at Clash in Italy. Brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesnar is going to win that rematch because there's not

<v Speaker 1>a doubt in my mind that they're going to want

<v Speaker 1>to get a trilogy out of this. So the only

<v Speaker 1>question is do they do it at SummerSlam, which is

<v Speaker 1>in Minneapolis, which could be weird because you would imagine that,

<v Speaker 1>at least with some fans, Brock would be sort of

<v Speaker 1>the hometown guy, not that he lives there anymore, but

<v Speaker 1>he's got his roots in Minnesota. So do they do

<v Speaker 1>the final match at SummerSlam, which would be a big

<v Speaker 1>match to do on that show, or do the Saudis

<v Speaker 1>want him? And do they do it at Night of Champions,

<v Speaker 1>which is coming up at the end of next month,

<v Speaker 1>because that really is the only question at this point,

<v Speaker 1>and to do the trilogy, Brock has to win the

<v Speaker 1>second match. I'm not saying that I'm in love with

<v Speaker 1>the idea again, if it were up to me, it

<v Speaker 1>would have been when one and done, Oba beats him

<v Speaker 1>and moves on. But it's been pretty clear that they

<v Speaker 1>didn't have another plan for Obafemi. This was the plan.

<v Speaker 1>The plan was always to run this back. I don't

<v Speaker 1>believe for a second this was a panic move. They

<v Speaker 1>went to Brock and said, oh my god, we don't

<v Speaker 1>have anything for Oba to do. Can you please come back?

<v Speaker 1>This was the plan from the beginning. It's pretty apparent

<v Speaker 1>now this is why Obafemi didn't come right out and

<v Speaker 1>challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship. They wanted

<v Speaker 1>to do an extended program here between these two, very

<v Speaker 1>similar to what they did with Brock and Cody. So

<v Speaker 1>if it follows that blueprint from twenty twenty three, it

<v Speaker 1>actually would probably make more sense for them to have

<v Speaker 1>the blowoff match at SummerSlam, and ultimately what ended up

<v Speaker 1>happening there, what happened Brock put Cody over and then

<v Speaker 1>he disappeared for two years. So we're likely seeing the

<v Speaker 1>same thing play out here with Oba. What he did

<v Speaker 1>to Oba tonight doesn't It doesn't bother me. You know,

<v Speaker 1>he got attacked from behind, He got laid out by

<v Speaker 1>somebody who was pissed off that he got beaten. It

<v Speaker 1>embarrassed at WrestleMania, Like, I don't want to hear anybody

<v Speaker 1>talking about how, oh you know they did Oba dirty

<v Speaker 1>Tonight He's buried, Like no, like that doesn't concern me

<v Speaker 1>at all. Oba will be fine. I just didn't think

<v Speaker 1>that this was necessary. Evidently they fell differently. Best part

<v Speaker 1>about it, I guess, is that we're now done with

<v Speaker 1>the open challenge. Oba now has an opponent, he has

<v Speaker 1>a target, and we're gonna get I'll tell you something

<v Speaker 1>else too, This Clash in Italy card. All of a sudden,

<v Speaker 1>you look at some of the developments over the last

<v Speaker 1>few days, this Clash in Italy card is shaping up

<v Speaker 1>to be a pretty big card, bigger than Backlash, hell

<v Speaker 1>of a lot bigger than Saturday Night's made event this weekend,

<v Speaker 1>but shaping up to be bigger than Backlash, because think

<v Speaker 1>about it, we not only have brock Legner against Oba Femei,

<v Speaker 1>but we have two championship matches. We didn't even get

<v Speaker 1>that at Backlash. We have the WWE Championship being defended,

<v Speaker 1>and we have the World Heavyweight Championship being defended. As

<v Speaker 1>we found out tonight, it will be tribal combat between

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu. I know you're all very

<v Speaker 1>you're all very concerned. Now, Oh my god, tribal combat,

<v Speaker 1>not tribal combat. I mean, that's worse than Mortal Kombat.

<v Speaker 1>Tribal combat is every WWE plunder match that you will

<v Speaker 1>ever see. But with Samoans, that's literally the only difference,

<v Speaker 1>literally the only difference. But that was made official tonight

<v Speaker 1>as well for Clash in Italy. And I'll tell you what,

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind seeing a title change in that match,

<v Speaker 1>because the more I think about this, now that we

<v Speaker 1>know that they're doing Roman in fa Tu in a

<v Speaker 1>rematch here next week, not this weekend, but the weekend after,

<v Speaker 1>I really really really hate the idea of Jacob fought

<v Speaker 1>Too going out there and losing too in a row.

<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't sit right with me. They've done a

<v Speaker 1>very good job of building him up as this unstoppable

<v Speaker 1>monster that just goes out there and causes all sorts

<v Speaker 1>of chaos and just carnage everywhere he goes, and for

<v Speaker 1>him to go out and he lost clean to roam

<v Speaker 1>and a backlash, the idea of him going in there

<v Speaker 1>and back to back matches and losing that bothers me.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not convinced that they're going to do a title change,

<v Speaker 1>But the more I think about it, now that we

<v Speaker 1>know it's official, they really should do a title change.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, if we're being honest, I don't like the

<v Speaker 1>idea of Jacob losing two in a row like that,

<v Speaker 1>but we'll see what they have in mind. I mean

<v Speaker 1>that match was made official. Becky Lynch and soul Ruka

<v Speaker 1>was made official, not for Italy though, that was made

<v Speaker 1>official for Saturday Nights made event which is coming up

<v Speaker 1>this weekend, And honestly, those are the key things on

<v Speaker 1>the show. Show. There were a few other things that

<v Speaker 1>happened tonight. We had Seth Rollins in the main event

<v Speaker 1>against Austin Theory. I mean, try not to fall asleep

<v Speaker 1>just listening to me say that sentence. But they had,

<v Speaker 1>you know, they had that. Obviously, they're picking up with

<v Speaker 1>things with Seth Rollins and Brown Breaker, and we'll find

<v Speaker 1>out if that gets added to the Italy card as well.

<v Speaker 1>They haven't, they haven't made that official yet or continuing

<v Speaker 1>with Rollins in the vision they've kind of worked the

<v Speaker 1>street profits in there. La Knight was back on the show.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe that was the other big story La Night showed.

<v Speaker 1>Now we have people last couple of weeks thinking that

<v Speaker 1>he was gone. Where is he? He got cut? He was

<v Speaker 1>asked to take a pay cut and he said no,

<v Speaker 1>and he's gone from WWE. Yeah. No, he was back

<v Speaker 1>on the show tonight and he confronted the ussos and

<v Speaker 1>then later in the show he confronted Seth Rollins to

<v Speaker 1>simply tell him, you're gonna need help tonight in the

<v Speaker 1>main event against the Vision, but it won't be for

<v Speaker 1>me because I'm out of here. And he took his

<v Speaker 1>rolling luggage and off he went, and that was the

<v Speaker 1>last we saw La Night for the rest of the night.

<v Speaker 1>So at least we know he's still gainfully employed. But

<v Speaker 1>outside of that, I mean, what can I say? Raw

<v Speaker 1>is what raw is? You know what raw is? Raw

<v Speaker 1>is door Dash. In case you didn't know, DoorDash is

<v Speaker 1>the official sponsor of Monday Night Raw. I don't see

<v Speaker 1>how you can watch the show tonight and not come

<v Speaker 1>away knowing that DoorDash is the official sponsor of Monday

<v Speaker 1>Night Raw. Oh. They reminded you of that many many

<v Speaker 1>times tonight. We even had an official mascot make an appearance,

<v Speaker 1>the what a Burger mascot. Apparently he's called what a Man? Yes,

<v Speaker 1>maybe they could get Salt and Peppa to sing a

<v Speaker 1>song for him. What a man? What a man? What

<v Speaker 1>a man? What a mighty good man. That probably would

<v Speaker 1>be more entertaining than this episode of Monday Night Raw.

<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about it. Monday Night, May eighteenth, twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 1>I am the Soloma. I can't believe they have what

<v Speaker 1>a Burger? And where were they tonight, North Carolina? I

<v Speaker 1>thought what For some reason, I thought Whataburger was more

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, more of like a southern Western thing.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm thinking of in and out Burger. We don't

<v Speaker 1>have any of those around here. We don't have any

<v Speaker 1>Whata Burgers around here. I have to try that one

<v Speaker 1>of these days. Hit that like button, hit that subscribe button.

<v Speaker 1>Superchats are open. We have a bonus goal for a

<v Speaker 1>potential bonus round of be the Booker tonight. But of

<v Speaker 1>course we will spin for the likes goal. We'll find

<v Speaker 1>out how many likes we need to do be the

<v Speaker 1>Booker right now. But yes, get those superchats on in

<v Speaker 1>and I will be reading all of your messages. But first,

<v Speaker 1>but first, we must spin six hundred. That's the goal,

<v Speaker 1>six hundred likes. If we hit that goal, we will

<v Speaker 1>do be the booker. We are at two fifty right now.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that. You want it bad enough,

<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be up to you, guys. That is the goal.

<v Speaker 1>Is what a man's finisher, the what a maneuver I

<v Speaker 1>would think it would be. I think that's the perfect

<v Speaker 1>name for it. I like the way you think, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you got your work, You got your work cut out

<v Speaker 1>for you there, good luck. Talk about this show. They

<v Speaker 1>open Raw tonight the way that they've been closing Raw,

<v Speaker 1>so they at least change the formula up a little bit.

<v Speaker 1>Usually they're closing the show at Roman Reigns showing up

<v Speaker 1>late to work. He actually showed up to work on time. Tonight,

<v Speaker 1>suv pulls up outside and out comes the world champion.

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce is there to try to stop him, saying,

<v Speaker 1>you want to listen to me. Last week, everything that

<v Speaker 1>happened at the end of Raw wouldn't have happened because,

<v Speaker 1>if you remember, Adam Pierce wanted to fire him. He

<v Speaker 1>wanted to fire Jacob fa tou so Roman said, look,

<v Speaker 1>none of that shit matters. I'm calling him out right now.

<v Speaker 1>And Pierce says, look, he wants to fire Fa Tou.

<v Speaker 1>They're cut off though by the sounds of Jacob Fatu's music.

<v Speaker 1>He is out on his way to the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>comes out and he calls out Roman Reigns. Doesn't get

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns, though, he gets his errand boys. He gets

<v Speaker 1>his young boys and outcome the USO's Jimmy is trying

<v Speaker 1>to be the voice of reason here because Jay has

<v Speaker 1>a chair. Jimmy is trying to keep the peace and

<v Speaker 1>he makes it very to Jacob. He says, look, you

<v Speaker 1>lost it Backlash. You had to acknowledge the tribal check

<v Speaker 1>in with this acknowledgement bullshit. You have to acknowledge the

<v Speaker 1>tribal chief instead. Look at you now you're about to

<v Speaker 1>be fired. So Jay he had enough of the talking.

<v Speaker 1>He tried to go after Jacob with the chair. Jacob,

<v Speaker 1>though he took care of Jay, he took care of Jimmy,

<v Speaker 1>put them both down with the Tonguan death grip, the

<v Speaker 1>dreaded tongue in death grip that could not win him

<v Speaker 1>a world championship at Backlash Roman's music hits, he comes down.

<v Speaker 1>The two of them come to blows in the middle

<v Speaker 1>of the ring. Roman he went for a superman punch.

<v Speaker 1>He got caught though in the Tonguan death grip, so

<v Speaker 1>Jay was able to save Roman with a spear to Fatu.

<v Speaker 1>Jimmy came off the top with an USO splash. They

<v Speaker 1>hit a one D to Fa Tu. They got him

<v Speaker 1>tied up in the ropes. Roman laid into him with

<v Speaker 1>a superman punch. Usso's delivered multiple super kicks and then

<v Speaker 1>they freed fa Too and Roman leveled him with one

<v Speaker 1>final spear. So he and the USSOS they go to

<v Speaker 1>leave as Adam Pierce is coming out, and Roman tells Pierce,

<v Speaker 1>now you can do what you want. You want to

<v Speaker 1>fire him, go ahead and fire him. Do whatever you want.

<v Speaker 1>Before Pierce, though, has a chance to do so Jacob,

<v Speaker 1>who's down in the ring and he's selling his injuries,

<v Speaker 1>he's selling the beatdown. He gets on the microphone and

<v Speaker 1>he says Roman, tribal combat. So now Roman has to

<v Speaker 1>think about this, and Adam Pierce is like no, no, no, no, no, no

<v Speaker 1>no no no. Roman says, I accept because of course,

<v Speaker 1>so he accepts the challenge. So we are getting the

<v Speaker 1>third tribal combat match that WWE has done since twenty

<v Speaker 1>twenty three. The first one, if you remember, was a

<v Speaker 1>Summer Slam match that year between Roman and Jay Usso

<v Speaker 1>and it fucking sucked. The second tribal combat match was

<v Speaker 1>on the debut episode of Raw Netflix last year. It

<v Speaker 1>was Roman Reigns against Solo Sokoa for the Ufalafa as

<v Speaker 1>La Knight would call it. So this would be number

<v Speaker 1>three and basically it as anything goes it is pinfall

<v Speaker 1>or submission only. I don't know if they may add

<v Speaker 1>a stipulation to it where the loser has to acknowledge

<v Speaker 1>the winner, which would kind of make sense for the

<v Speaker 1>storyline because this whole storyline is built on Jacob Fatu.

<v Speaker 1>You've got to acknowledge Roman Reigns, You've got to acknowledge

<v Speaker 1>the tribal chief, which he refuses to do. So we'll

<v Speaker 1>see if they add any other stipulations to it. Tribal

<v Speaker 1>combat means that the USOS could help out Roman. Tribal

<v Speaker 1>combat means that the USOS can come out there with Roman.

<v Speaker 1>It could be three on one. Does that mean Jacob

<v Speaker 1>fa too is going to have to find some backup

<v Speaker 1>of his own would kind of make sense. Who would

<v Speaker 1>that be? Who would that be? This one person who

<v Speaker 1>he has been chummy with on SmackDown, Royce Keys not

<v Speaker 1>saying he will be involved. I'm just saying if Jacob

<v Speaker 1>needed a friend, he's got a friend over on SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>who could potentially get involved in this. And he's been

<v Speaker 1>wrapped up with Solo's Sokoba because Solo has been trying

<v Speaker 1>to recruit him now for a few weeks. Again, as

<v Speaker 1>I said before, I personally I would like to see

<v Speaker 1>them do a title change. I don't know that they're

<v Speaker 1>going to do it. I don't know that they're going

<v Speaker 1>to want to take that belt off Roman before we

<v Speaker 1>get to Summer Slam. Roman, who originally looked like he

<v Speaker 1>wasn't even going to be on Raw at all in

<v Speaker 1>the month of June, was added back to a few

<v Speaker 1>dates next month, so he'll be around a little bit.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know that they're going to do that, but

<v Speaker 1>I just hate the idea of Jacob going in there

<v Speaker 1>and getting beaten twice. You know, you weren't good enough

<v Speaker 1>to win the World Heavyweight Championship the first time, so

<v Speaker 1>let's run it back in the same fucking month and

<v Speaker 1>just this time with a stip and will beat you again.

<v Speaker 1>I mean they did that a few years ago when

<v Speaker 1>Roman won the belt. Aj Styles was his first opponent

<v Speaker 1>coming out of WrestleMania. They may have vented back to

<v Speaker 1>back pay per views. They had excellent matches A lost

<v Speaker 1>both of those. They put Roman over aj in both

<v Speaker 1>those matches, so it's not like they can't do that.

<v Speaker 1>They probably will. But then where does Jacob Fatu go?

<v Speaker 1>Does he fall in line? Does he finally acknowledge Roman?

<v Speaker 1>Then what does he go? Crawling back to SmackDown with

<v Speaker 1>his tailtuck between his legs. I'm just wondering what the

<v Speaker 1>what the endgame is in this for Jacob Fatu and

<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, I hope that it's something good. He

<v Speaker 1>should stay in that upper mix. It would be very

<v Speaker 1>easy though, for him to go in there and lose

<v Speaker 1>and then just kind of fall back down, you know,

<v Speaker 1>a couple of rungs down the ladder. I'd rather not

<v Speaker 1>see that happen. You know, you want to try to

<v Speaker 1>make a new star and make a new star, you

<v Speaker 1>should be able to make a new star and keep

<v Speaker 1>him at that level. I just hope that's what we

<v Speaker 1>get out of this when this whole thing is over.

<v Speaker 1>We had Finn Balor one on one with JD. McDonough.

<v Speaker 1>This was their third meeting together, one win apiece, so

<v Speaker 1>this was the rubber match, and this time it was

<v Speaker 1>a street fight. So we got the obligatory plunder match.

<v Speaker 1>We had tables and we had chairs, and we had

<v Speaker 1>kendo sticks and they ended up in the crowd where

<v Speaker 1>McDonough walked up one level and they were kind of

<v Speaker 1>in the lower bowl area and he did a moon

<v Speaker 1>salt down onto Balor. After a commercial break, they were

<v Speaker 1>back in the ring and we had some chair combat,

<v Speaker 1>first from Balor, then from McDonough. Balor sent McDonough through

<v Speaker 1>a table in the corner with a shotgun dropkick. Balor

<v Speaker 1>went for the kudigrass. Mcdonoughthough was able to avoid it.

<v Speaker 1>He had a busicho knee and then he hit a

<v Speaker 1>power bomb with a stack for a two count. Only

<v Speaker 1>then he hit a moon salt for another near fall

<v Speaker 1>off the top. McDonough set up another table in the ring,

<v Speaker 1>another slim gym table, plays Balor on top of it. Balor,

<v Speaker 1>though was able to recover, he crotched McDonough on the ropes,

<v Speaker 1>placed him on the table. Balor goes up top and

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you know, Dominic mysterio is here and Dominic mysterio

<v Speaker 1>he gets involved, Rinse repeat. We see this shit every week.

<v Speaker 1>That allowed McDonough to superplex Baller through the table. It's

<v Speaker 1>a hard landing two for both of them. Balor, though

<v Speaker 1>was able to kick out at two, so don At

<v Speaker 1>this point, he throws some trash cans into the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Should stuff the show in one of them, so Dom

<v Speaker 1>and McDonough they attacked Balor with the trash cans. JD

<v Speaker 1>held Balor in place for a six to one nine

<v Speaker 1>as Dom comes off the ropes, though Balor reversed out

<v Speaker 1>of it. JD ended up taking the sixty one nine instead.

<v Speaker 1>So then he stuffed McDonough into one of the trash cans.

<v Speaker 1>He blasted him with a shotgun druck, and he finished

<v Speaker 1>him off with the kuda grass right on top of

<v Speaker 1>the garbage can covered him and he got the win.

<v Speaker 1>So this was a fine little plunder match closes out

<v Speaker 1>the series of matches here between the two of them.

<v Speaker 1>I am left wondering though if this was the blowoff

<v Speaker 1>between Balor and McDonough. Why would this not be the

<v Speaker 1>blowoff with Balor and the judgment day That's it. It's over.

<v Speaker 1>It's over. He already beat Dom at WrestleMania. Now he's

<v Speaker 1>beaten Balor Or Balor has beaten McDonough. Rather, there's nobody left.

<v Speaker 1>Who's left? Right? You got the women, Raquel Roxanne live

<v Speaker 1>unless Balor is gonna go down the line and wrestle

<v Speaker 1>all three of them. This feels like it's time to

<v Speaker 1>move on for Finn Balor. I don't know to what,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know with who. I just know that what

<v Speaker 1>we've seen with Baler and the judgment that we have

<v Speaker 1>exhausted every option here and hopefully this was the nail

<v Speaker 1>and the coffin. That's it. It's time to move on.

<v Speaker 1>There ain't nothing left for him to do with this group.

<v Speaker 1>It's time for him to get a fresh start. Kathy

<v Speaker 1>Kelly was in the back and she was there to

<v Speaker 1>interview Seth Rollins. So Rollins knows he's a mark man.

<v Speaker 1>He's got no friends, but he has to put an

<v Speaker 1>end to the vision. Rollins has not had a match

<v Speaker 1>on Raw in nine months, but Adam Pearce has given

<v Speaker 1>him the main event tonight, and Rollins said that he'll

<v Speaker 1>take on any member of the Vision one on one,

<v Speaker 1>two on one, three on one, four on why it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter to him. He'll take any of them on.

<v Speaker 1>He singled out, though, in particular bron Breaker, and we

<v Speaker 1>got a NEPO baby reference in here somewhere, which if

<v Speaker 1>I never hear another fucking NEPO baby reference in a

<v Speaker 1>WWE promo, won't be a day too soon. Let me

<v Speaker 1>let me ask you a question before I go on.

<v Speaker 1>If you listen to Rollins in this promo, he was

<v Speaker 1>pretty clear. He goes, I'll face any member of the Vision.

<v Speaker 1>I'll face them all. I'll go two on one, I'll

<v Speaker 1>go three on one. Let me ask you, if you're

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman, how are you not jumping all over that?

<v Speaker 1>If you're Paul Hayman, how are you not jumping all

<v Speaker 1>over it and going? Okay? Adam Pierce, you heard the

<v Speaker 1>man make a three on one tonight, We're gonna get

<v Speaker 1>Austin Theory, We're gonna get Logan Paul, We're gonna get

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker, all three of them in the main event

<v Speaker 1>of Monday Night Raw against Seth Rollins. No we ended

<v Speaker 1>up with Seth Rollins against Austin. Theory is the main event?

<v Speaker 1>Why the man said he'll wrestle all three members seems

<v Speaker 1>like a mistake. Seems like a little miscue there on

<v Speaker 1>Paul Hayman's part. Elsewhere in the back Byron Sachs then

<v Speaker 1>interviewed Soul Ruka, who seemed awfully happy for someone who

<v Speaker 1>has gone winless so far since she debuted on the

<v Speaker 1>main roster. But she says, I have only been in

<v Speaker 1>the business for four years. I feel pretty good about myself.

<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch interrupted and she said that she hasn't been

<v Speaker 1>impressed by Soul so far. She's oh for two she

<v Speaker 1>should go back to NXT and Soul seemingly agrees, and

<v Speaker 1>she walks off, and Becky talks about Wow, this generation

<v Speaker 1>of quitters. But then they hear Soul's music. She's decided

<v Speaker 1>to go out to the ring. She goes out to

<v Speaker 1>the ring and she calls out Becky Lynch. So out

<v Speaker 1>comes Becky, and Soul suggests that they have a match

<v Speaker 1>right here, right now, in Greensboro. Becky says she'd love to,

<v Speaker 1>but instead she suggests a match at Saturday Night's Made event,

<v Speaker 1>and she tells her, remember, I'm not just a star maker,

<v Speaker 1>I'm a star breaker. And Soul is fine with that.

<v Speaker 1>And not only will she snatch Becky's soul, she's gonna

<v Speaker 1>snatch her intercontinental title. And Becky points out, wait a minute,

<v Speaker 1>I never said anything about the championship. You got to

<v Speaker 1>earn that. You're gonna have to prove yourself first. So

<v Speaker 1>I think we all knew this is where it was headed.

<v Speaker 1>I like the match. I like Becky as an opponent

<v Speaker 1>for Soul, that they could work together all the way

<v Speaker 1>through SummerSlam. This is just the first of what I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure will be many matches these two have. And she's right,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's no reason for the title to be

<v Speaker 1>on the line. Why belt her up right now? You're

<v Speaker 1>just starting the feud, So let them have this match.

<v Speaker 1>This should be a win for Soul. Like I said,

<v Speaker 1>she's oh for two so far. She lost to live Morgan,

<v Speaker 1>she lost the EO Sky. No, look, there's no shame

<v Speaker 1>in losing to the women's world champion or EO Sky,

<v Speaker 1>who's the best in the entire company in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>But she's oh for two. She needs a win. You

<v Speaker 1>can't go for two and have the top women's heel

<v Speaker 1>or one of them mocking you for having a losing record,

<v Speaker 1>and then you wrestle her and you fucking lose again.

<v Speaker 1>Right this and it's a non title match. This should

<v Speaker 1>be a win for Soul. I don't know about Clash

<v Speaker 1>in Italy, but then they'll follow that up with a

<v Speaker 1>title match and Becky may win that, right, and then

<v Speaker 1>they get a third match out of it. But I

<v Speaker 1>like this. This is this is exactly who Soul Rucas

<v Speaker 1>should be working with. Becky Lynch is the perfect opponent for.

<v Speaker 1>In the back logan Paul and Austin Theory were chatting

<v Speaker 1>it up with Paul Hayman nearby when bron Breaker approached

<v Speaker 1>and he asked that did you hear what Rollins had

<v Speaker 1>to say. He told Haymon, make the match tonight, seth

<v Speaker 1>Rawlins in the main event, one on one against bron Breaker.

<v Speaker 1>Haymon said, well, that sounds great and thank you for

<v Speaker 1>the input, But tonight in the main event, it is

<v Speaker 1>going to be seth Rawlins against Austin Theory, which sounds

<v Speaker 1>like a terrible main event for the show and bron Breaker,

<v Speaker 1>you know, appropriately, bron Breaker wants to know why so

<v Speaker 1>Hayman then pumps him full of his usual bullshit and

<v Speaker 1>he says, well, look at it like this. Now you

<v Speaker 1>know exactly where Rollins is going to be, at what

<v Speaker 1>time he is going to be there, and you know

<v Speaker 1>with whom he will have his hands full. And he

<v Speaker 1>tells him, I'm gonna let you run the play, and

<v Speaker 1>Breaker smirks at him and he nods and he walks off.

<v Speaker 1>Hayman is very persuasive. These people buy into his bullshit

<v Speaker 1>far too easily. On these shows. We had a trios

<v Speaker 1>tornado match, that's what they're calling them now, because again

<v Speaker 1>these are the Lucha Yours. So they were a trios match,

<v Speaker 1>trio's tornado match with all six americanos. It looked like

<v Speaker 1>Dan Housen, his cloning machine, was hard at work here.

<v Speaker 1>We had the og El Grande Americano and the Creed

<v Speaker 1>Brothers under masks against El Grande Americano, Kaiser, Ryo and Bravo.

<v Speaker 1>The crowd was very very quiet for most of this

<v Speaker 1>match up until maybe I don't know, the last forty

<v Speaker 1>five seconds. Maybe they didn't give a shit about this.

<v Speaker 1>They never give a shit about this on most weeks.

<v Speaker 1>They really don't give a shit about any of this. Again,

<v Speaker 1>this works in Triple A. This does not work anymore

<v Speaker 1>on the main roster. Maybe at first people thought it

<v Speaker 1>was kind of it was kind of amusing or whatever,

<v Speaker 1>but as with a lot of things on these shows,

<v Speaker 1>they just wear it out, and they drag it out

<v Speaker 1>for far too long until there's just nothing left. Nobody

<v Speaker 1>cares about this now. I'm sure the match between the

<v Speaker 1>two Americanos on the Triple A show on May thirtieth

<v Speaker 1>is going to just be fucking molten hot, and I'm

<v Speaker 1>actually looking forward to seeing that match. It will work

<v Speaker 1>in that environment because the angle is over, Kaiser is over,

<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be a big blowoff. What I'm saying

<v Speaker 1>is on this show, on most weeks, when you send

<v Speaker 1>these guys out there, and especially you send them out

<v Speaker 1>there and they're all wearing masks, and some of them

<v Speaker 1>are dressed up exactly the same, and they're all kind

<v Speaker 1>of clustered up and bunched up together, you can't even

<v Speaker 1>tell who's who. Sometimes when they're diving and they're doing

<v Speaker 1>this and that, and I'm like, well, was that ryo? Wait? Wait?

<v Speaker 1>Wait was that bruteo? Like? What the fuck am I

<v Speaker 1>watching here. Nobody cares. So there was a lot of action.

<v Speaker 1>I'll give them that. It was hard again, hard to

<v Speaker 1>follow at times because they were all bunched up. But

<v Speaker 1>Julio Julio missed the four to fifty splash. El Grande, Kaiser, Ryo,

<v Speaker 1>and Bravo. They all loaded up their masks with little

<v Speaker 1>metal plates. Shit went sideways though for him. In the end, though,

<v Speaker 1>Americano Kaiser and his crew picked up the win after

<v Speaker 1>El Grande put down Bruto with a running headbutt using

<v Speaker 1>the metal plate. I just I cannot adequately put into

<v Speaker 1>words how little I give a shit about any of this.

<v Speaker 1>And the sooner they end this, the happier I'll be,

<v Speaker 1>because now it's just like every week. We got to

<v Speaker 1>get to the May thirtieth match, We got to get

<v Speaker 1>to the mass match, so we just have to fill

<v Speaker 1>t We have to get these guys on the show

<v Speaker 1>we have because we have to promote our Triple A show,

<v Speaker 1>so we'll have the obligatory Americano segment and we just

<v Speaker 1>gotta we just gotta get to May thirty. Can we

<v Speaker 1>please get there already? Like I'm just I'm done with

<v Speaker 1>this now. After this, they cut to a shot of

<v Speaker 1>Page and Bribella. They're in the back the Women's tag

<v Speaker 1>team champions and they're warming up for their tag team

<v Speaker 1>title defense later on in the show, when all of

<v Speaker 1>a sudden, in the background, a giant mascot appears. Now,

<v Speaker 1>we just had a funeral for a mascot on SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>not even two weeks ago, right, I am still in

<v Speaker 1>mourning over the gingerbread man. But in the background I

<v Speaker 1>see this mascot and he is bearing with him a

<v Speaker 1>bag with door Dash, and Michael Cole in particular begins

<v Speaker 1>to lose his Really it's Michael Cole and Corey Graves,

<v Speaker 1>and they start to lose their shit, and they have

<v Speaker 1>to fake pretend to be excited that what a guy

<v Speaker 1>is here. Yes, it's what a guy. And he's got

<v Speaker 1>the door Dash delivery, and there's Tozawa, and there's Otis.

<v Speaker 1>He's got a delivery for him because you see Otis

<v Speaker 1>as a big boy. Of course he's got to eat,

<v Speaker 1>he's got to get his carbs and his protein. And

<v Speaker 1>so this was their opportunity to go ahead and plug

<v Speaker 1>the shit out of door Dash and pretended they actually

<v Speaker 1>care and that they give a shit about this door

<v Speaker 1>Dash came through in the clutch. This is some of

<v Speaker 1>the cringiest shit that I've seen all year. They have

<v Speaker 1>to find ways to work this into the show, and

<v Speaker 1>then just that fake enthusiasm. Oh my god, this is

<v Speaker 1>just fucking ridiculous. Whatever. They aired a video package after

<v Speaker 1>this on Tribal Combat, which included footage of Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>and Jacob faughtu. It wasn't like it was some generic

<v Speaker 1>old package they've run before, you know, talking about the

<v Speaker 1>perils of Tribal Combat as a brand new video narration

<v Speaker 1>and everything, right for a match that was only announced

<v Speaker 1>a few segments before this, This is like, I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>I'm watching this, I go the match was literally like

<v Speaker 1>the stipulation was literally pitched accepted. I mean, from this

<v Speaker 1>point in the show. Maybe it wasn't even a full hour.

<v Speaker 1>This was actually worse than when Tony kh and Tony

<v Speaker 1>Khan does this all the time. But this was worse

<v Speaker 1>than when Tony Khan has the graphic up on screen,

<v Speaker 1>Like when somebody wins a match, right and now they're

<v Speaker 1>going to be challenging for this title or that title

<v Speaker 1>the next week or the pay per view, or somebody

<v Speaker 1>extends a challenge to somebody and then as soon as

<v Speaker 1>the segments, a boom the graphic is that, like the

<v Speaker 1>main event could end and within ten seconds there's already

<v Speaker 1>like the graphic is up on screen and everything right,

<v Speaker 1>And sometimes you could understand it. It's like, okay, well

<v Speaker 1>they had two graphics on standby, but like sometimes there's

<v Speaker 1>a challenge that just somebody makes and it comes out

<v Speaker 1>of nowhere, like they pitch it in a promo or something,

<v Speaker 1>and then boom, the graphic is up on screen like

<v Speaker 1>ten seconds later, and I'm like, ugh, I just laugh. Right,

<v Speaker 1>this is even worse. This is a video. This was

<v Speaker 1>a whole lass video with like a narration and everything.

<v Speaker 1>They don't they don't care, they don't give a shit.

<v Speaker 1>So anyway, this this video package here was telling us

<v Speaker 1>about the dangers of tribal combat. They're really trying to

<v Speaker 1>make tribal combat sound like just something that will change you.

<v Speaker 1>It will change your life, it will change your career.

<v Speaker 1>You'll never be the same. Like hell, in a cell,

<v Speaker 1>right you go in, you don't come out quite the

<v Speaker 1>same way as you did when you went in. I

<v Speaker 1>just it's hard for me to sit here and just

<v Speaker 1>suspend my disbelief and buy into this bullshit, because what

<v Speaker 1>is tribal combat based on what they've established in the past,

<v Speaker 1>right unless they make changes to it, what is tribal combat?

<v Speaker 1>Tribal combat is every plunder match, every Extreme Rules match,

<v Speaker 1>every no DQ match that you see in WWE any

<v Speaker 1>given week, we saw, you know what, we saw tribal

<v Speaker 1>combat tonight, Finn Balor and JD mcdonaghead tribal combat today.

<v Speaker 1>They just didn't call it that. There's literally nothing different

<v Speaker 1>or unique about tribal combat outside of the fact that

<v Speaker 1>you can bet that Roman Reigns will be a part

<v Speaker 1>of it. That's literally that's it. I mean, that is it.

<v Speaker 1>That is it. But it's their job now, I guess,

<v Speaker 1>to convince people that it's something more than what it

<v Speaker 1>is and it's going to be some big special attraction.

<v Speaker 1>But basically we're getting no holes barred between Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>and Jacob Fatu in Italy. Backstage, Kathy Kelly is with

<v Speaker 1>the ussos who know what tribal combat is all about.

<v Speaker 1>Jay usso does. He's been in tribal combat before. But

<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, it's La Knight. La Knight is here

<v Speaker 1>to interrupt. We have not seen La Night on this

<v Speaker 1>show in a very long time, but there he is.

<v Speaker 1>Last time we saw La Knight, he confronted Gunther backstage

<v Speaker 1>because they were building to a man between Gunther and

<v Speaker 1>La and I we all know how that would have

<v Speaker 1>gone for La Night. So really he got spared. But

<v Speaker 1>this is the first time we've seen him in weeks.

<v Speaker 1>He shows up and there he is, and Jimmy says,

<v Speaker 1>not now, and Night calls them out for doing the

<v Speaker 1>same damn thing that the three of them beat up

<v Speaker 1>the Vision for doing a WrestleMania So what's the difference,

<v Speaker 1>he says, and Jimmy holds Jay back and again he

<v Speaker 1>tells him not now, and off they go. Now. Earlier today,

<v Speaker 1>Michael Cole sat down with all Ego Ethan Page, who

<v Speaker 1>was going to be challenging for the Intercontinental Championship this Saturday.

<v Speaker 1>So let's go to that interview. So we pitch it

<v Speaker 1>to the footage and Ethan immediately right out of the gate,

<v Speaker 1>hands him a card with some stuff written on it

<v Speaker 1>that he wants Michael Cole to read, And really it

<v Speaker 1>was just him putting Ethan over and talking about his

<v Speaker 1>wonderful jawline and everything else. About him, so Cole eventually

<v Speaker 1>just taps out and says, look, I can't do this anymore,

<v Speaker 1>and he asks why why do you act like this?

<v Speaker 1>And he praises Ethan's skills, but he just thinks, says

<v Speaker 1>ego will cost him against Penta at Saturday night's main event,

<v Speaker 1>and Page calls it confidence. It's not ego, it's confidence. Uh,

<v Speaker 1>not much to this, but I do have to say

<v Speaker 1>I think that Page has been nailing it so far

<v Speaker 1>in his time on the main roster. He hasn't been

<v Speaker 1>up for very long. I mean, it's the Ethan Page

<v Speaker 1>that you saw on NXT if you paid attention to

<v Speaker 1>his work down there. He's just doing it up on

<v Speaker 1>the main roster and he fits like a glove. So far.

<v Speaker 1>I think he's doing very well and I would not

<v Speaker 1>at all mind and seeing him win that title on

<v Speaker 1>Saturday from Penta, that would be fine with me. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>when I first saw him on RAW, I said, you know,

<v Speaker 1>give it six months, he'll be the Intercontinental champion, but

<v Speaker 1>by by SummerSlam. This is a a little bit sooner

<v Speaker 1>than SummerSlam. But they are doing the match this week,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm just saying, like, I like Penta, and I'm

<v Speaker 1>fine with Penta retaining, but if Ethan Page was to

<v Speaker 1>walk in there on Saturday and win the championship, I'd

<v Speaker 1>be happy. I'd be happy for him, and I think

<v Speaker 1>that he would also make a good Intercontinental champion. And

<v Speaker 1>there's some storyline potential with this sort of uneasy alliance

<v Speaker 1>that he's been building with Russev. You can have some

<v Speaker 1>fun with that. I'd like to see it. After this,

<v Speaker 1>we have Page, and we had Bribella defending their women's

<v Speaker 1>tag team titles against Raquel Rodriguez and Roxxan Perez. The

<v Speaker 1>winners of this match will be defending the titles against

<v Speaker 1>Naya Jacks and Lash Legend on Saturday Night's main event.

<v Speaker 1>So Page missed to dive out to the floor, got

<v Speaker 1>cut off early on, and then she got so I

<v Speaker 1>think it was Raquel swung her like hard into the

<v Speaker 1>barrier and Pages had some head issues, some injury issues

<v Speaker 1>in the past, and she just fucking she swung for

<v Speaker 1>the fences with this woman. After the commercial break, Page

<v Speaker 1>got a hot tag to Brie. There was some sort

<v Speaker 1>of double team neck breaker spot here by the Babyfaces

<v Speaker 1>that just did not look good. Brie went to the top.

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan was out there. She got up on the

<v Speaker 1>apron and shoved her off, which hung her up on

<v Speaker 1>the top rope on the way down. Referee though, saw

<v Speaker 1>Liv's interference and ejected her. I think was Jessica Carr.

<v Speaker 1>She ejected Live Morgan. So Raquel passed one of the

<v Speaker 1>women's tag belts to rocksand she tried to use it,

<v Speaker 1>but bre ducked and then rolled her up for the wing.

<v Speaker 1>What a riveting finish that was the flash pin and

<v Speaker 1>Bribella and Page retained their championships. Now, after the match,

<v Speaker 1>as the champions are in the aisle, they're celebrating there

<v Speaker 1>looking at the Judgment Day in the ring. Liv Morgan,

<v Speaker 1>who had been ejected, she come charging back out. She

<v Speaker 1>attacks the champions from behind. Judgment Day had the advantage

<v Speaker 1>until Lyra, Valkyria and Bailey ran out to make the

<v Speaker 1>say Bailey drop Live with a Bailey to belly. Lyra

<v Speaker 1>took out Perez and Rodriguez with a basement drop kick.

<v Speaker 1>There really isn't a whole lot else to say about this.

<v Speaker 1>Are they potentially building to a title match with Bailey

<v Speaker 1>and Live Morgan. Maybe Stephanie Vakier is expected to be

<v Speaker 1>back within the next few weeks. She's not gonna be

<v Speaker 1>out for much longer. My guess is when she comes back,

<v Speaker 1>we go right back into it because we never got

<v Speaker 1>the rematch. In the meantime, though, Live Morgan has nothing

<v Speaker 1>to do, so like Bailey and Lyra, clearly there's still

<v Speaker 1>a team. But if they wanted to do even like

<v Speaker 1>a television match, if they wanted to do a singles

<v Speaker 1>match with Bailey and Live, you could definitely do that

<v Speaker 1>match itself. Was really it was not that good. It

<v Speaker 1>was not that good, this pairing here with Page in Brie.

<v Speaker 1>This thing has got to come to an end soon.

<v Speaker 1>I figure it's not gonna end until Nicki comes back.

<v Speaker 1>So we don't know when Nicki Bella is going to

<v Speaker 1>be back. You know she had surgery. We don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I still see I envision a situation where Nicki comes back,

<v Speaker 1>see Niki costing them the titles, though not in a

<v Speaker 1>way that's going to upset Brie, because they're not gonna

<v Speaker 1>split up Nicki and Bri. I think they may do

<v Speaker 1>it in a way, I mean, it would turn the

<v Speaker 1>Bella's heel, but do it in a way where you

<v Speaker 1>know they basically turn on page something something like that.

<v Speaker 1>Something like that. I could I could see something like

<v Speaker 1>that happening. But they this team, it's a makeshift team.

<v Speaker 1>They were never supposed to be partners in the first place.

<v Speaker 1>There's no established relationship between them other than okay, they're

<v Speaker 1>friends from back in the day, right, they came up

<v Speaker 1>in the same era. But it's not like there's this vast,

<v Speaker 1>rich history with the women, and it's like no, it's

<v Speaker 1>just like they were just sort of put together and

<v Speaker 1>there's just not a whole lot there. And I haven't

<v Speaker 1>been impressed by what they've done. The sooner they get

<v Speaker 1>the belts off them, the better, you know. I don't

<v Speaker 1>I hate to even say it. I mean, if they

<v Speaker 1>were to lose the belts back to Naya and Lash,

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't even mind. At least they're more of a

<v Speaker 1>legitimate team. Send them to Evolve. You know, those women's

<v Speaker 1>tag team titles are supposed to be defended cross brand. Technically,

<v Speaker 1>there is nothing stopping them from defending those titles in

<v Speaker 1>NXT or Evolve or Triple A. I guess Triple A

<v Speaker 1>is a completely different promotion, but still, can we send

<v Speaker 1>Bribella to triple A. I think that would be okay,

<v Speaker 1>let's send Bribella on excursion for a while. Then we

<v Speaker 1>had La Knight walking up to seth Rawlins outside the

<v Speaker 1>building and he says, you know things are going to

<v Speaker 1>go badly for seth tonight going out there by himself

<v Speaker 1>against the vision. But if you need help, you ain't

<v Speaker 1>getting it for me. So he tells him have fun

<v Speaker 1>getting stomped out, and off he goes with his rolling luggage.

<v Speaker 1>And he didn't. He didn't come back. He was a

<v Speaker 1>man of his word. He's like, fuck you, you're on

<v Speaker 1>your own tonight. And he did not, in fact show

<v Speaker 1>up later in the show to help seth Rawlins. So okay,

<v Speaker 1>not a big night for La Knight, but at least

<v Speaker 1>he was on the show after. This was the one

<v Speaker 1>and only thing that happened on this entire show that

<v Speaker 1>was truly newsworthy. The Oba Femi Open Challenge. This was

<v Speaker 1>week number three. Week one we had Tozaua coming out

<v Speaker 1>and it was almost like, okay, are we going to

<v Speaker 1>get Tozawa and Oba Femi and then Tozawa chickened out

<v Speaker 1>and it ended up being otis I guess in between

<v Speaker 1>his door dash deliveries and they had a fun two

<v Speaker 1>minute sprint and then by week two, nobody wanted to

<v Speaker 1>come out and accept the open Challenge, so he had

<v Speaker 1>to go find his own opponent. He went backstage. Los

<v Speaker 1>Garzo was there and he literally dragged him out to

<v Speaker 1>the ring, beat the shit out of them, and that

<v Speaker 1>was the end of that. So I said, boy, it

<v Speaker 1>feels like they're already running out of steam. They're running

<v Speaker 1>out of ideas with this thing. I sure hope they

<v Speaker 1>have something good up their sleeve for where this open

<v Speaker 1>Challenge is going to go. Oba comes out and he's

<v Speaker 1>in the ring. He's in the middle of his entrance, right,

<v Speaker 1>the arena is still darkened, right, he's got his back

<v Speaker 1>turned and as he's posing in the ring, brock Lesner

<v Speaker 1>and you could kind of tell who it was, but

<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was dark. It looked like it just

<v Speaker 1>looked like some Viking had jumped into the ring with

<v Speaker 1>the ponytail and attack this man from behind, and he

<v Speaker 1>hoisted him up on his shoulders. The lights came on,

<v Speaker 1>we see that it's brock Lesnar. Right, he has him

<v Speaker 1>on his shoulders for an F five, drops him for

<v Speaker 1>an F five, picks him right back up. Second F

<v Speaker 1>five picks him back up, third F five picks him

<v Speaker 1>back up, fourth f five, four of them, and he

<v Speaker 1>leaves this man laying. The crowd of course, the people

<v Speaker 1>lost their shit because they were not expecting to see

<v Speaker 1>brock Lesner on this show. So the crowd is buzzing,

<v Speaker 1>and then brock ends up leaving Oba is down in

<v Speaker 1>the ring. He's selling the beat down here. He was

<v Speaker 1>put down in a way that we have not seen

<v Speaker 1>on the main roster the first time now, first time

<v Speaker 1>since coming to Monday Night Raw, that Oba Femi has

<v Speaker 1>been left laying by somebody, and it's the one guy

<v Speaker 1>I guess that you could believably say that you could

<v Speaker 1>see him being laid out by in that regard, which

<v Speaker 1>is brock Lesner. And the other thing that I noticed

<v Speaker 1>is that for the second time, brock Lesnar split his pants.

<v Speaker 1>This happened once before on SmackDown. This is the second

<v Speaker 1>time now that this man has split his pants. Now.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know where he is buying his jeans. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know if he's buying one size too small to

<v Speaker 1>make it look like, you know, he's wearing these like

<v Speaker 1>skinny jeans, but he's gonna have to either go one

<v Speaker 1>size up or he's gonna have to buy a different

<v Speaker 1>brand because this ain't working out too well for him.

<v Speaker 1>He's zero for two against the Blue Jeans. Yes, yes

<v Speaker 1>he did. He ripped his fucking pants again. Oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>death taxes and brock lesnar ripping his pants? Goodwill? Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think brock Lesnar is shopping a goodwill with

<v Speaker 1>the money he's made over the years. But I noticed

<v Speaker 1>I saw something like a flap of something behind him,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, did he rip his fucking pants again?

<v Speaker 1>And then they showed the play. I go, son of

<v Speaker 1>a bitch, he did because I saw something and I

<v Speaker 1>couldn't tell it fir as what it was. And I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>was he coming out with like a shirt tucked into

<v Speaker 1>his back pocket like he's Jeff Hardy. I'm like, he

<v Speaker 1>doesn't do that. No, he ripped his fucking pants. Him

<v Speaker 1>ripping his pants is more entertaining than eighty five percent

<v Speaker 1>of these shows. It shouldn't be that way now. After

<v Speaker 1>a break in the back, Adam Pierce was he was

<v Speaker 1>demanding answers from the producers and then he walks into

<v Speaker 1>his office and he finds Paul Hayman waiting for him.

<v Speaker 1>He says to Hayman, he goes, I filed the retirement

<v Speaker 1>paperwork for this guy. What the hell is going on here?

<v Speaker 1>And Hayman hands him what he think, goes, that is

<v Speaker 1>a subpoena. He goes, No, it's not a subpoena. He goes,

<v Speaker 1>it's a contract signed by brock Legner. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>where that came from. See, like, if I'm Adam Pierce

<v Speaker 1>in that situation, because Paul Hayman will rarely botch in

<v Speaker 1>a promo, He'll rarely misspeak like that. I'm wondering if

<v Speaker 1>that was live. It almost had to be live, I guess,

<v Speaker 1>because if I'm Adam Pierce, like it would have taken

<v Speaker 1>everything in me not to fucking break at that moment.

<v Speaker 1>But it's signed. It's signed by Brocklegner. And if you

<v Speaker 1>can get Oba Femi to put his signature on this contract,

<v Speaker 1>then it will be Brockleisner and Obafemi at clash in Italy.

<v Speaker 1>It'll be the big attraction that you're looking for for

<v Speaker 1>your pl And of course Obafemi is going to sign

<v Speaker 1>the contract and we are going to get the rematch

<v Speaker 1>in Italy. And that is going to be a big

<v Speaker 1>attraction on that show. And it's not going to go

<v Speaker 1>very long. It's not going to go much longer than

<v Speaker 1>it did at WrestleMania. But if you do Brock and Oba, yes,

<v Speaker 1>that is a big attraction on that show. It will

<v Speaker 1>help sell more tickets, It will help put more eyeballs

<v Speaker 1>on that pl It will make headlines just by virtue

<v Speaker 1>of him show up tonight. Because all of these different

<v Speaker 1>sports outlets covered it like a legitimate retirement in Wrestleman,

<v Speaker 1>including ESPN, they covered it like a legitimate retirement. They

<v Speaker 1>had people convinced that it not everybody, but they had

<v Speaker 1>a lot of especially outsiders or casual fans, that this

<v Speaker 1>man retired at WrestleMania, and why not, it was the

<v Speaker 1>perfect retirement. Everyone keeps talking about Obafemi as like the

<v Speaker 1>next Brocklesner. He's going to be a future world champion

<v Speaker 1>inside of a year. He's gonna be the guy they

<v Speaker 1>can build around right for for years to come. So

<v Speaker 1>what better way to go out? You used to be

<v Speaker 1>that guy. Now you put over the future, and you

<v Speaker 1>do it on the biggest possible stage. You do it

<v Speaker 1>at your big annual tent pole event in front of

<v Speaker 1>a big crowd, You get a lot of love, you

<v Speaker 1>get to ride off into the sunset right looking like

<v Speaker 1>a hero. But again, this is brock Lesner, and brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesner will retire whenever he feels like he's ready to retire.

<v Speaker 1>But if there's money to be made, he will be

<v Speaker 1>there to make that money. If you think that he

<v Speaker 1>is going to retire in Minneapolis at summer slap right,

<v Speaker 1>even that if he gets a big money offer to

<v Speaker 1>come back, whether it's a Saudi show, got Saudi WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>next year, it is still very hard for me to

<v Speaker 1>believe that with WrestleMania coming to Saudi Arabia that they

<v Speaker 1>would not want brock Lesnar on that show, and WWE

<v Speaker 1>and TKO wouldn't go to him if they knew that

<v Speaker 1>and say, hey we need you for that show. What's

<v Speaker 1>what's going to take to get you for that show?

<v Speaker 1>You think Brock is gonna go? Man? You know, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. You know, I told everybody I was retired.

<v Speaker 1>I'm a man of my word. You know. It is

<v Speaker 1>such a perfect play, like he's gonna be like, all right,

<v Speaker 1>write the fucking check, Write the check, because that's just

<v Speaker 1>who he is. I don't think he gives a shit

<v Speaker 1>about all of this other stuff. It doesn't matter to him.

<v Speaker 1>Like at WrestleMania, I wasn't. I wasn't convinced. The thing

<v Speaker 1>that got to me when I was watching it again

<v Speaker 1>was just him crying. It never struck as like genuine emotion.

<v Speaker 1>It was like he was acting and trying to pretend

<v Speaker 1>to be sad and somber. And that's what made me go, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not so sure about this, right, Well,

<v Speaker 1>we'll see, right, it could be. It could be, but

<v Speaker 1>I wasn't convinced. But I was certainly not expecting him

<v Speaker 1>to show up tonight, so that was a good surprise.

<v Speaker 1>They caught me off guard, they caught the crowd off guard.

<v Speaker 1>Nobody saw this coming. And now the open Challenge gimmick

<v Speaker 1>is over. It's for the better. It's for the better

<v Speaker 1>that this open Challenge is put to rest once and

<v Speaker 1>for all. What are they going to do in Italy?

<v Speaker 1>I think Bronco's over, That's what I think. I think

<v Speaker 1>this is going to be a trilogy and the only question, see,

<v Speaker 1>to me, the question isn't even who wins in Italy.

<v Speaker 1>The bigger question is when do we get the third match.

<v Speaker 1>SummerSlam would make the most sense, sure, but I just

<v Speaker 1>I put Knight of Champions out there just because, you know,

<v Speaker 1>for obvious reasons, and Roman Reigns is not scheduled for

<v Speaker 1>that show, so we'll probably have a WWE title match.

<v Speaker 1>They're gonna need another big attraction for that show. Brock

<v Speaker 1>and Oba in their blowoff match would be an attraction.

<v Speaker 1>So it's either that or it's Summer Slim. But that's

<v Speaker 1>what we're headed for here. And as long as when

<v Speaker 1>this is over, he puts over Oba one more time,

<v Speaker 1>then it's fine. Like the rest of this doesn't the

<v Speaker 1>fact that he got put down tonight, so what so

<v Speaker 1>what they're building to a match? If all they do

<v Speaker 1>is have Oba Femi constantly go over this man every

<v Speaker 1>time we see them in a ring together on TV,

<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be fucking boring. And they did that every

<v Speaker 1>week going into WrestleMania and that was perfect. But if

<v Speaker 1>you're going to continue this feud, there's got to be

<v Speaker 1>some give and take. It can't just be Oba Oba

<v Speaker 1>Oba Oba Oba this. You got to give something to

<v Speaker 1>Brock along the way. You gotta make is believable, especially

<v Speaker 1>if you want to get three matches out of it.

<v Speaker 1>It's got to be competitive. So I don't want to

<v Speaker 1>hear this bullshit of like, oh what did they do

<v Speaker 1>to Oba? Like he got jumped from behind, dude by

<v Speaker 1>Brock fucking Lesner. Anybody getting jumped from behind by Brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesner and put down ain't getting up. So that's fine.

<v Speaker 1>I just question whether or not we even need to

<v Speaker 1>be doing this, But it looks like we're getting the

<v Speaker 1>trilogy after all. Now. Kathy Kelly interviewed the Street Profits

<v Speaker 1>backstage heading into their tag team title match coming up

<v Speaker 1>on Saturday. And in case you didn't know, they want

<v Speaker 1>the smoke. So Angelo Dawkins he spotted Seth Rollins, I

<v Speaker 1>guess off in the distance off camera getting ready for

<v Speaker 1>the main event, and montes Ford could see this, and

<v Speaker 1>montes Ford was like, look, you do whatever you want

<v Speaker 1>to do. He didn't want to have anything to do

<v Speaker 1>with Seth Rawlins. So Dawkins goes over to Rollins and

<v Speaker 1>he thanks him for last week because you know, he

<v Speaker 1>took the bullet for him. Rollins thanks him for that,

<v Speaker 1>and he apologized for Dawkins getting taken out. You remember

<v Speaker 1>That's why montes Ford got so angry last week when

<v Speaker 1>he ate that spear, but Rollins told him, look, I

<v Speaker 1>have a match to go worry about, and so he did.

<v Speaker 1>It was the main event of the show tonight. It

<v Speaker 1>was Seth Rollins one on one. Yes, indeed, it was

<v Speaker 1>Seth Rollins against Austin Theory. What an exciting main event.

<v Speaker 1>I was waiting all night long for this main event.

<v Speaker 1>Rolin sent Theory into the corner with a buckle bomb.

<v Speaker 1>Theory came back and rams Set's ankle into the ring

<v Speaker 1>post and that became the target for the remainder of

<v Speaker 1>the match. Working over Seth's knee. They did a very

<v Speaker 1>believable job too of selling the knee, Like even when

<v Speaker 1>the match was over, he was still kind of limping around.

<v Speaker 1>I could see where they were going to be. Uh

<v Speaker 1>people on social media? Is he really hurt? No, he's

<v Speaker 1>just very good at selling. So he's selling the knee

<v Speaker 1>and Rollins came back though with a Falcon arrow. He

<v Speaker 1>tried for a stomp the bad Wheel, though he couldn't

<v Speaker 1>follow through. He tried for a pedigree Theory though blocked it.

<v Speaker 1>Torture rack Bomb only got a near fall and With

<v Speaker 1>Rollins down, Theory went for a stomp. Rollins, though, caught

<v Speaker 1>him with a clothes line. Then he climbed up on

<v Speaker 1>the middle rope, but Theory had the referee's attention, and

<v Speaker 1>as he had the reps attention, Logan Paul outside he

<v Speaker 1>shoved Rolins off the ropes. Theory then stomped Rollins only

<v Speaker 1>for a two count. So Logan then slipped Theory the

<v Speaker 1>brass knucks and then he distracted the referee. Rollins, though,

<v Speaker 1>came back with a super kick. Rollins went for the

<v Speaker 1>brass knucks. Referee caught him though and took him away.

<v Speaker 1>Theory tried for a roll up on Rollins, who was distracted,

<v Speaker 1>but he rolled through into what actually was a pretty

<v Speaker 1>good pedigree, and he hit the pedigree. He actually won

<v Speaker 1>with it. That doesn't happen as much. It doesn't happen

<v Speaker 1>as much anymore, but he actually won with the pedigree.

<v Speaker 1>Logan immediately hits the ring and he pounces on Rollins,

<v Speaker 1>and here comes Angelo Dawkins down to the ring to

<v Speaker 1>make the save. He ended up in peril, though, which

<v Speaker 1>is exactly what montes Ford had warned him about. And

<v Speaker 1>even still, here comes montes Ford he's gonna come out

<v Speaker 1>to save his partner, and he even did his trademark

<v Speaker 1>running dive out over the ring post wipes out the

<v Speaker 1>vision out on the floor, and then he gets back

<v Speaker 1>in the ring and he's he's telling Dawkins. He's like

<v Speaker 1>on his knees and he's telling him like I told you,

<v Speaker 1>you know, he tried to warn him. And as he's

<v Speaker 1>admonishing his tag team partner, you could see in the

<v Speaker 1>background here comes bron Breaker, charges down to the ring,

<v Speaker 1>gets into the ring. Rollins is. I don't know where

<v Speaker 1>Rollins went. I think he was outside somewhere. But Montes

<v Speaker 1>shoves his partner out of the way. He takes the

<v Speaker 1>bullet and he eats a wicked spear from bron Breaker.

<v Speaker 1>So Rollins hobbles back into the ring and he jumps Breaker,

<v Speaker 1>but he ends up getting speared for his troubles. Then

<v Speaker 1>it was three on one. It was the vision on

<v Speaker 1>Rollins outside the ring. Austin Theory and Logan Paul. They

<v Speaker 1>had Rollins and they were basically trying to lay him

<v Speaker 1>out across the bottom part of the ring steps and

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker had the top part. They were going to

<v Speaker 1>kill this man. Adam Pierce though and his merry band

<v Speaker 1>of useless men. They come out. They were actually useful

<v Speaker 1>for a change, and they were able to stop the

<v Speaker 1>attempted murder from taking place. Breaker did hit Rollins with

<v Speaker 1>one more spear and then he is just like fucking

<v Speaker 1>ground and pound until they were finally able to pull

<v Speaker 1>him off of him. And then I think what happened

<v Speaker 1>here is that there was just a lot of time

<v Speaker 1>left to kill because they were there's a lot of

<v Speaker 1>staring and just mean mugging the camera and they kept

<v Speaker 1>coming back and forth between the vision Rollin's and Rollin's

<v Speaker 1>and the vision, and I'm like, where is this going?

<v Speaker 1>What are they waiting for? And then finally the credits

<v Speaker 1>came up on screen, and then finally they went off

<v Speaker 1>the air. The best part was actually after they went

<v Speaker 1>off the air, they I guess were required to put

<v Speaker 1>a message up on the screen that said, this program

<v Speaker 1>contains product placement. Yeah, no, shit, tell me something I

<v Speaker 1>don't already know watching this show product placement? You say, gee,

<v Speaker 1>I wonder what was the giveaway here? Was it the

<v Speaker 1>giant mascot earlier in the show, or what was it

<v Speaker 1>the countless times that Michael Cole and Corey Graves were

<v Speaker 1>fucking orgasming over door Dash. I will tell you this,

<v Speaker 1>nobody will I'll ever reach orgasm watching Monday Night Raw.

<v Speaker 1>Definitely not this episode. Outside of the brock Lesner stuff.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I got nothing for you. I mean, there

<v Speaker 1>wasn't a whole lot to talk about. We had some

<v Speaker 1>matches made right, we had two matches officially added to

<v Speaker 1>the clash in Italy, Carna match added to Saturday Night's

<v Speaker 1>main event. That's it. That's it, that's it. There was

<v Speaker 1>nothing else to this show, nothing else to this show.

<v Speaker 1>Raw is by no means as bad as SmackDown, but

<v Speaker 1>it's not very good either. Raw is kind of falling

<v Speaker 1>backwards into the dol drooms kind of like SmackDown did.

<v Speaker 1>But it's just not quite as bad as SmackDown. And

<v Speaker 1>I said this last week. I said, it really hit

<v Speaker 1>me last week that this show, not that it would

<v Speaker 1>be infinitely better, but it would be better if CM

<v Speaker 1>punk had not disappeared. When he was the world champion again,

<v Speaker 1>he was on the show. He wasn't defending the title

<v Speaker 1>every week, but he wasn't against or they weren't against

<v Speaker 1>using him in a way where he would defend the

<v Speaker 1>title on the show. It was almost like he was

<v Speaker 1>having these little side quests right whether it was Finn

<v Speaker 1>Balor or whatever, and then there would be this great

<v Speaker 1>promo he'd bust out every now and then. His absence

<v Speaker 1>has been very noticeable on this show, and I would say,

<v Speaker 1>you know, the sooner they can get him back on TV,

<v Speaker 1>maybe things will be a little bit more interesting. But again,

<v Speaker 1>I still feel like the next time we see him

<v Speaker 1>he'll be on SmackDown and not on Raw. And frankly,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not even sure when he's going to be back.

<v Speaker 1>I think there was a report that may have come

<v Speaker 1>out tonight that suggested he may not be back until

<v Speaker 1>after SummerSlam. I don't get the impression he's going to

<v Speaker 1>be back anytime in the near future. You really feel it,

<v Speaker 1>You really feel it without him being on this show.

<v Speaker 1>But there's just not a whole lot of exciting stuff

<v Speaker 1>going on. Now. We have Saturday Night's main event, which

<v Speaker 1>is coming up this weekend. Let's run through the card.

<v Speaker 1>We actually have one, two, three, four, five, five. We

<v Speaker 1>have five matches on this card. We have Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>is going to be going one on one with Soul Ruka.

<v Speaker 1>As far as we know, the Intercommital title will not

<v Speaker 1>be on the line in this match, and that's fine.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Soul Ruka to win, especially if the

<v Speaker 1>belts not on the line. She should win Street Profits

<v Speaker 1>against the Vision for the World Tag Team titles. There

<v Speaker 1>should be a win for the Vision. Paige and Brie

<v Speaker 1>Bella defend the Women's tag team titles against the Irresistible Forces. Uh.

<v Speaker 1>You know I had picked Paige and Brie to win

<v Speaker 1>when I talked about this on the SoundOff. I'll stick

<v Speaker 1>to that. I'll stick to that, I guess. But like

<v Speaker 1>if they change the titles, that's fine. Who cares? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I'm just apathetic towards all of this. Penta and Ethan

<v Speaker 1>Page for the Intercontinental Championship. I'm going with Ethan. I'm

<v Speaker 1>going with Ethan Page. I'm gonna say new Intercontinental Champion.

<v Speaker 1>And then Ria Ripley, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair they

<v Speaker 1>take on Jade Cargill, Meechen and BFAB. I'm going with Jade,

<v Speaker 1>Meechen and BFAB for the win, and I'm gonna say

<v Speaker 1>Jade pins Ria to do it, and then we end

<v Speaker 1>up with Jade and Ria announced for the women's title

<v Speaker 1>at Clash in Italy. That's my prediction on that. That's it.

<v Speaker 1>That's your Saturday nights main event card. Not the most

<v Speaker 1>exciting card, but I guess for a Saturday night's main event,

<v Speaker 1>it sounds about right. And look, they have a pl

<v Speaker 1>e the following Sunday, so they're not going to overload

<v Speaker 1>this show, so I get it. But that's what I

<v Speaker 1>got for you. That's your raw review. Hey a Suami,

<v Speaker 1>dot com slash Harmony. Yeah, I mean, if I agree,

<v Speaker 1>if Ethan and Penn to headline the show, definitely, I

<v Speaker 1>think a title change. But you know what, I could

<v Speaker 1>see them headlining with uh Becky and Soul, and I

<v Speaker 1>could see them headlining with Rhea because Rhea's the one

<v Speaker 1>of the top stars. They will, however, not be headlining

<v Speaker 1>with the women's tag team titles. That will not be happening.

<v Speaker 1>Joseph Stewart, Happy Monday to you, sir. Good to hear

<v Speaker 1>from you. Do you remember when Rakishi destroyed Stone Cold

<v Speaker 1>truck on SmackDown? I remember when Rakishi ran him down

<v Speaker 1>with his automobile, and I remember when Austin came back

<v Speaker 1>and kicked his ass. I don't remember him destroying his truck.

<v Speaker 1>Was the Stone Cold Rakishi match not really a wrestling match,

<v Speaker 1>just Stone Cold getting revenge on him for running him over.

<v Speaker 1>It's exactly what it was. I don't remember being much

<v Speaker 1>of a wrestling match either. Who would you have booked?

<v Speaker 1>Who would you have booked the who ran over Stone

<v Speaker 1>Cold with a car story? Oh? I wouldn't have done it.

<v Speaker 1>I just thought it was very stupid. I wouldn't have

<v Speaker 1>booked the angle to begin with. What are your five

<v Speaker 1>favorite Jack Nicholson scenes in Batman? Eighty nine. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think I have five. I don't know. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>I have five. Well, I'm gonna say when Joker kills

<v Speaker 1>the guy with the toy buzzer, that would be one.

<v Speaker 1>When Joker gets dropped into the vat of acid, takes

<v Speaker 1>the acid bath, and when he dances to party man

<v Speaker 1>by Prince in the museum. Those are my three. Buy

<v Speaker 1>yourself Vito Corleone or Tony Soprano, Tony Soprano, Michael Corleone

<v Speaker 1>or Tony Soprano, Tony soprano. I'm a sopranos guy, not

<v Speaker 1>a not a Godfather guy. Tony Montana or Tony Soprano. See,

<v Speaker 1>that's a little bit harder. I like Tony Montana. I'm

<v Speaker 1>still going Tony Soprano. What are your five favorite scenes

<v Speaker 1>in The Batman? Jeez, the car chase scene when he

<v Speaker 1>chases the penguin, the Riddler introduction, probably at the beginning

<v Speaker 1>of the movie. That was kind of creepy. And I'll

<v Speaker 1>say the scene where the da gets blown up Happy

<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth adversary to Shrek. Interesting twenty five years of Shrek?

<v Speaker 1>Huh uh? Are you a fan of the movie comp

<v Speaker 1>Land with Sylvester Stallone. You know, that's one that I

<v Speaker 1>never saw, and I think that came out of like

<v Speaker 1>ninety seven, right, I think it came out in ninety

<v Speaker 1>seven or something. I believe. Yeah, I never saw it, though,

<v Speaker 1>that was the one. I think Stallone put on some

<v Speaker 1>weight for that role. I heard some good things about

<v Speaker 1>that movie anyway, Joseph, thank you. Always an interesting mix

<v Speaker 1>of questions. They're electric feel, but a ten dollars super chat.

<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about your pedigree while I I was

<v Speaker 1>thinking about your pedigree. Oh, pedigree comments. You had to

<v Speaker 1>be very confused there for a second. I was thinking

<v Speaker 1>about your pedigree comments while I watched a few Dudley

<v Speaker 1>Boys matches. I saw Spike Dudley do the couda grass

<v Speaker 1>as a regular move. He used to only get a

<v Speaker 1>two count if he was like yeah, because Spike Dudley

<v Speaker 1>was like one hundred and twenty pounds dude. A little

<v Speaker 1>bit of a difference between Spike Dudley doing it or

<v Speaker 1>seth Rollins. Spike Dudley was like a he's like a

<v Speaker 1>fucking child. Hulkling ninety three is a Yankees fan. I'll

<v Speaker 1>give respect where respect is do. Congrats to your mets

<v Speaker 1>on winning the Subway series. That's right, we did. Very gracious, Hulkling,

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. Dried Chicken says, if Brocklesner is going

<v Speaker 1>to wrestle his last match in WWE, it should be

<v Speaker 1>a last man's standing match. Let's will it into existence.

<v Speaker 1>I'd be okay with that. He had a pretty great

<v Speaker 1>one at Summerslim a few years ago against Roman Again.

<v Speaker 1>Commentary's framing of Jacob is Desani water bad. No mention

<v Speaker 1>of the exposed buckle, A blatant use of an exposed

<v Speaker 1>turnbuckle is dirty every day of the week twice on Sundays.

<v Speaker 1>Stop the cap. Oh that was from a backlash and

<v Speaker 1>he went into the buckle oft backlash. Yeah. I mean

<v Speaker 1>it's hard to take any of the commentary seriously when

<v Speaker 1>they're you know, orgasming over door dash, So I try

<v Speaker 1>not to pay too much attention to them. Barry says,

<v Speaker 1>I like Bailey, but why does Cole keep calling her

<v Speaker 1>a legend? Because in WWE, that's what she is. She's

<v Speaker 1>one of the four horse women from NXT, multi time

<v Speaker 1>world champion, She's been there for over a decade. She's

<v Speaker 1>a future Hall of Famer. Drag Chicken says Raw is

<v Speaker 1>creatively bankrupt. Triple H taking these visits to d C

<v Speaker 1>has contaminated his brain cells. Raw is definitely raw. The

<v Speaker 1>whole product is creatively bankrupted. Triple H fears Oba in

<v Speaker 1>terms of creative be man. The Champ says, I knew

<v Speaker 1>Brock wasn't going to retire. There's no such thing in

<v Speaker 1>wrestling at this point. I fully expect Sena to be

<v Speaker 1>in a match by the end of twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 1>Now you see that's the one He's not coming back.

<v Speaker 1>That one. I believe one hundred percent he's not coming

<v Speaker 1>back that one. That's the one that you you should believe.

<v Speaker 1>John Cena is not coming back to wrestle Alexander Sammy

<v Speaker 1>Zane should beat up all the sponsor mascots. I think

<v Speaker 1>the sponsor mascot is bigger than him. You see that

<v Speaker 1>guy tonight? What a man think? What a man could

<v Speaker 1>probably take in a match. Also, does Jacob perform sub

<v Speaker 1>Zero's fatality and rip Roman's throat out with the Tonguan

<v Speaker 1>death grip? He should? That would get him over the

<v Speaker 1>final Boss Russell vote said punk on till Summer Slam.

<v Speaker 1>Well there you go. Ah, Well, that sucks for the product,

<v Speaker 1>doesn't it. If that's true, Derek J speaks with a ten,

<v Speaker 1>fuck it put the belts on FA two and Gunther

<v Speaker 1>in the same night. I know it's unlikely and it

<v Speaker 1>won't automatically make up for bad writing, but the show

<v Speaker 1>sucks so much. I am begging for something different. Yeah, brother,

<v Speaker 1>you and me. Both these shows are very difficult to

<v Speaker 1>sit through, and I just keep hoping for it to

<v Speaker 1>change and improve, and it just doesn't seem to be happening.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I don't know what's happened to

<v Speaker 1>the game I once loved. I just I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>Very very low effort, very low effort. Mac tub, how

<v Speaker 1>much do you think Punk's elevated his legacy since his

<v Speaker 1>return to wrestling in AW and WWE. I think it

<v Speaker 1>was in tatters after the AW implosion. Yeah, that would

<v Speaker 1>have been a bad way for him to go out.

<v Speaker 1>Him coming to WWE did big business right out of

<v Speaker 1>the gate, and looking at the run he's had, of course,

<v Speaker 1>it's elevated his legacy. I mean, there's not even a

<v Speaker 1>doubt about it. B Man, the champ with most B

<v Speaker 1>level pay per views, having only five of that pay

<v Speaker 1>per views. What are those? I believe Sarah you mean

<v Speaker 1>premium live events, with most B level premium live events

<v Speaker 1>having only five matches nowadays. Do you think WWE should

<v Speaker 1>go back to single branded No? No, no, no. I

<v Speaker 1>get this question every now and then. Do not, do not,

<v Speaker 1>do not, do not go back to single branded pay

<v Speaker 1>per views. I hate that. That is a terrible idea.

<v Speaker 1>That is a terrible idea. I see the point you're

<v Speaker 1>trying to make. It's a bad idea. Don't do that,

<v Speaker 1>Jeff Bray, we have water burger here in Odessa. Water burger. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>that's a new one. He literally says, water burger here

<v Speaker 1>in Odessa, Texas. Who wants to eat that? Like? That

<v Speaker 1>sounds terrible? Water down burger? I mean, who the hell

<v Speaker 1>wants to pay for that? Uh Asu, Amy, Brion Paige

<v Speaker 1>have no chemistry together? Everybody else involved in that match

<v Speaker 1>was more interesting this comment to you by what a burger?

<v Speaker 1>They don't, They don't have any chemistry. They don't because

<v Speaker 1>they're not a real team. It sucks. Abystle Zones, watch out.

<v Speaker 1>It's now officially May nineteenth. Don't say that date. Do

<v Speaker 1>not say that date. But Yukiah with the twenty eight

<v Speaker 1>Who is that at the beginning of your podcast that

<v Speaker 1>says I have been begging them for a job. It

<v Speaker 1>makes me laugh every time. Also, that's road Dog. That's

<v Speaker 1>road Dog. I think he was unbusted open, but he

<v Speaker 1>was talking about wanting, like not knowing why Tony Khan

<v Speaker 1>hadn't offered him a job. It's a legitimate SoundBite of

<v Speaker 1>road Dog basically begging for an aw gig. And Saint

<v Speaker 1>James Entertainment, what belt would you put on La Night,

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown or Raw In terms of the of the world title?

<v Speaker 1>I think he looked pretty good with that World Heavyweight Championship.

<v Speaker 1>To be honest with you, though, right now, at this moment,

<v Speaker 1>the WWE title would probably make more sense. Get him

<v Speaker 1>involved over there, get him just get him away from

<v Speaker 1>get him away from the Vision, and get him away

<v Speaker 1>from the bloodline. In order to do that, he should

<v Speaker 1>go to SmackDown, especially a Punk is not guy. If

<v Speaker 1>this is true and Punk is gone until at least SummerSlam,

<v Speaker 1>then you could always put La Night on SmackDown. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>I kind of like that. Do dry Chickens says, what

<v Speaker 1>if the cast of Jackass decided to say, May nineteenth

<v Speaker 1>to Caine so much. Yeah, Kane is old, now, Caine

<v Speaker 1>is old, still in great shape though, but I would

<v Speaker 1>think that the entire cast of Jackass could probably just

<v Speaker 1>kind of swarm him and overwhelm him. He does still

<v Speaker 1>work out though, he does still keep himself in shape.

<v Speaker 1>But if you're suggesting that we get Kine back on

<v Speaker 1>TV for some sort of angle, don't because I have

<v Speaker 1>no interest in seeing it. So he could feud with

<v Speaker 1>the MFTs again. Now that's Royce Keys. Roy's Keys is

<v Speaker 1>gonna feud with the By the way, the mft's like,

<v Speaker 1>what what even are the mft's. At this point, Toma

<v Speaker 1>Tonga has got like one foot out the door and

<v Speaker 1>then it's just Solo and Taalatanga. The MFTs are basically dead.

<v Speaker 1>May's de great says, I asked your question to Mick

<v Speaker 1>Foley this past weekend, and he said classified info. But

<v Speaker 1>you'll never know. He was great. I even got pictures.

<v Speaker 1>Well that's great. Yeah, I told him to ask Mick.

<v Speaker 1>I go ask him when his WWE Legends deal officially expires.

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if you'll get an answer, but

<v Speaker 1>you could at least ask the question. You don't even

<v Speaker 1>have to bring up aw just say when is your

<v Speaker 1>WWE Legends deal up? But that's very cool. Is Caine

<v Speaker 1>still the mayor of Knoxville, well, Knox County, not Knoxville.

<v Speaker 1>And he must be because I saw there's a video

<v Speaker 1>that popped up in my timeline the other day, like

<v Speaker 1>three days ago or something of him giving his weekly

<v Speaker 1>or monthly address to his constituents. So yeah, he's still

<v Speaker 1>the mayor. But anyway, the goal tonight was six hundred likes,

<v Speaker 1>and we came close, but we fell short. I think

<v Speaker 1>we're right around five sixty, so the wheel was on

<v Speaker 1>the higher side tonight. It did not work out, which

<v Speaker 1>means no be the Booker, which makes me wonder because

<v Speaker 1>there's no SmackDown review this week and there's no Saturday

<v Speaker 1>Night Saturday Night's Made of ch stream, So the next

<v Speaker 1>time I'm live with you is Wednesday for Dynamite. Dynamite

<v Speaker 1>is always very hit or miss when it comes to

<v Speaker 1>be the Bookers, so I don't know. We may have

<v Speaker 1>to wait until the Double or Nothing stream on Sunday

<v Speaker 1>night to give it a shot. I will be live

<v Speaker 1>after Double or Nothing just coming up this Sunday? Is

<v Speaker 1>that what we are going to see Are we going

<v Speaker 1>to see bald MJF. That's the question, So we'll see

<v Speaker 1>if we do be the booker that night. Yes, I

<v Speaker 1>will be live with you on this channel again a

<v Speaker 1>Wednesday for the Dynamite Post Show. Tomorrow's a big day though,

<v Speaker 1>because tomorrow's a brand new episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling Show.

<v Speaker 1>I got a whole lineup for you, and Tomorrow night

<v Speaker 1>is a brand new installment of Tuesday Night Titans over

<v Speaker 1>on JD's Channel Friday. The reason I will not be

<v Speaker 1>here for SmackDown, as hard as it is to pull

<v Speaker 1>myself away from that show, I will be at the

<v Speaker 1>NYC Arena for House of Glory. We have a match

<v Speaker 1>between Amazing Red and Kevin Knight, the TNT Champion coming

<v Speaker 1>to h Shog to wrestle the Amazing Red. It's gonna

<v Speaker 1>be worth the price of admission alone just for that

<v Speaker 1>one match. Just announced today Leo Rush, creepy little bastard

<v Speaker 1>that he is. He's coming back and he's gonna be

<v Speaker 1>challenging Darren Richardson, who's our Cruiserweight Champion. SHATSI is going

<v Speaker 1>to be wrestling Lena Cross and a bunch of other

<v Speaker 1>cool matches that have yet to be announced, So I

<v Speaker 1>will be on the call for that show on Friday.

<v Speaker 1>What is the most painful thing you ever felt? For me?

<v Speaker 1>It is officially a kidney stone, says Retro Koh. Most

<v Speaker 1>painful thing that I've ever felt, it's the pain of

<v Speaker 1>watching these shows every week. It's a pain that I

<v Speaker 1>can't describe. It's a pain deep inside my soul, worse

<v Speaker 1>than any other pain that you can imagine. You should

<v Speaker 1>get Zoe star in h O G. It's not a

<v Speaker 1>bad idea. We may have to do that. I hear

<v Speaker 1>Nicki Storm is going to be a free agent very soon.

<v Speaker 1>The former Nicki Cross could be a possibility to Alex,

<v Speaker 1>says Solo. You need to ban the wheel. The wheel

<v Speaker 1>is here to stay. Justin says, what's your thoughts on

<v Speaker 1>buzzer beaters NBA or Be the Booker. I would think

<v Speaker 1>that the NBA ones are a little more exciting. That's

<v Speaker 1>what I would think. But I see the buzzer beater

<v Speaker 1>that you were referring to was for Be the Booker.

<v Speaker 1>We just passed six hundred. He was very slick with

<v Speaker 1>the way he did that. There, very very It's like,

<v Speaker 1>oh wait, Joseph is back. Joseph is with us. Joseph

<v Speaker 1>with a nine ninety nine says, I'm back, Solemn Monster.

<v Speaker 1>I have a question. I went back and I watched

<v Speaker 1>when Rakishi said he ran over Stone Cold. It looks

<v Speaker 1>like there was no plan. It was it on the

<v Speaker 1>Was it on the who ran? I guess are you

<v Speaker 1>asking me if there was a plan when they shot

<v Speaker 1>the Angle in ninety nine? The answer is no. They

<v Speaker 1>did not have a plan. They did not know who

<v Speaker 1>it was going to be. We didn't find out about

<v Speaker 1>it being Rakishi until following what October I think it

<v Speaker 1>was September October. So I can assure you that when

<v Speaker 1>they shot the Angle and they ran down Austin in

<v Speaker 1>November of ninety nine, they had no idea that it

<v Speaker 1>was going to be Rakishi. I don't know how far

<v Speaker 1>in advance they decided on who it was going to be,

<v Speaker 1>but it was definitely not the year before I could

<v Speaker 1>I could tell you that, all right, we're gonna get

<v Speaker 1>one round out of it. We're halfway on the bonus gold,

<v Speaker 1>but we got the one round guaranteed. Well, you guys

<v Speaker 1>really wanted it, Huh, you're not sure about Wednesday are

<v Speaker 1>you well, let's get to it. Ladies are gentlemen. It

<v Speaker 1>is now time to be the booker. He did it

<v Speaker 1>for the Rock, And do you remember what he told

<v Speaker 1>the Rock when he revealed that he had run down

<v Speaker 1>Stone Cold Steve Austin. He said it was because the

<v Speaker 1>white Man was holding him down. The white Man had

<v Speaker 1>held their people down. That was the explanation that they

<v Speaker 1>went with. I didn't know that they held down Yoko Zune,

<v Speaker 1>two time WWF champion, or that they had held down

<v Speaker 1>The Rock, who from the moment he came into the

<v Speaker 1>company was pegged to be a future world champion headlined.

<v Speaker 1>Probably by that point he had already headlined two Wrestlevanias.

<v Speaker 1>Apparently Rock was held down all those years. Think of

<v Speaker 1>all the Great Island talents, all the Samoan talons and

<v Speaker 1>the Tongan talents that they had pushed and featured for

<v Speaker 1>so many years, But according to Rakishi, they were all

<v Speaker 1>held down. It didn't really hold water. It didn't really

<v Speaker 1>make sense. Edge and Christian kicking us off. That could

<v Speaker 1>be the scene, by the way, this weekend in Queens,

<v Speaker 1>they could end up with tag team Championship Gold, Edge

<v Speaker 1>and Christian against the Motors City machine Guns again, a

<v Speaker 1>match that could very well be a reality in these

<v Speaker 1>next few months. They may end up being involved in

<v Speaker 1>the same match at Wembley Stadium in a few months.

<v Speaker 1>This may be the first time that we booked a

<v Speaker 1>match and be the booker that then went on to

<v Speaker 1>become a reality. You may be foreshadowing the future here.

<v Speaker 1>We've got sensational Sherrie Martel, big Sherry fan. Big big

<v Speaker 1>Sherry fans still feel like she still doesn't get the

<v Speaker 1>respect that she deserves. It makes me sad. There's a

<v Speaker 1>whole generation of like current fans. If you show them

<v Speaker 1>a picture of her, they would have no idea who

<v Speaker 1>she is. They would be like, who's that? They would

<v Speaker 1>have no idea Sherry and Serena deeb as Britt Baker

<v Speaker 1>stands off to the side and goes nobody cares, Nobody cares.

<v Speaker 1>I care. That would be a very good wrestling match

<v Speaker 1>and our main event. Who's got time for one more match?

<v Speaker 1>One more matches what they're chanting and one more matches

<v Speaker 1>what they shall get with Hangman Adam Page, the former

<v Speaker 1>AW World Champion who is no longer allowed to challenge

<v Speaker 1>for the AW World title. So this will not be

<v Speaker 1>a championship match. But let's find out who he will

<v Speaker 1>be competing against. Why is everybody saying Giant Gonzales? I

<v Speaker 1>wish it was Giant Gonzales. You know what, I gotta

<v Speaker 1>give that the bell. I don't give a ship what

<v Speaker 1>you all say. I don't care what you say. Hangman

<v Speaker 1>Adam Page against Mantar is a bell. That is a

<v Speaker 1>bell for a main event. That's not worse. That's better,

<v Speaker 1>that's better. We'll tell me it's worse. At least Mantar

<v Speaker 1>is mobile. At least he can move around. See look

<v Speaker 1>at this guy. You mess with the bull, you get

<v Speaker 1>the horns. Look at that. Look at those horns. Tell

<v Speaker 1>me you wouldn't want to see that. Tell me you

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to tell me that isn't a collision made

<v Speaker 1>event that you wouldn't tune in to see Hangman and

<v Speaker 1>man Tar Come on now, ah, Joseph says, we're you

<v Speaker 1>a fan of the cartoon show Gargoyles. I was aware

<v Speaker 1>of it. I was not a fan of it. No,

<v Speaker 1>I was not. How would you have written Stone called

<v Speaker 1>off TV when he had to leave for his neck injury?

<v Speaker 1>Very simple? If he could wrestle that one last match,

<v Speaker 1>I would have had him lose and I would have

<v Speaker 1>done an injury angle, probably with triple H, break a

<v Speaker 1>leg or something, and just write him off TV. That.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're the ones who ended up feuding anyway

<v Speaker 1>when Austin came back, right, So, Joseph also says, would

<v Speaker 1>have made sense for someone like the Rock or Kurt

<v Speaker 1>Angle to have run over Austin Angle. No Rock, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you could always make an argument for Rock. Rock was

<v Speaker 1>always kind of one A and one B neck and

<v Speaker 1>neck with Austin. Maybe out of jealousy. He wanted to

<v Speaker 1>get rid of him. Because look what happened in two thousand, right,

<v Speaker 1>Rock ascended to the top babyface spot. He benefited. You

<v Speaker 1>look at it and go who stands to benefit from

<v Speaker 1>Austin being on the shelf, and the number one answer

<v Speaker 1>is Rock. So you could have made an argument for

<v Speaker 1>being the Rock. Yukio says, oh thank you for the

<v Speaker 1>fifteen Yukio give bald MJF the curd angle headgear with

<v Speaker 1>the hair. I didn't. I I think I suggested that.

<v Speaker 1>I think I mentioned that like last week, that would

<v Speaker 1>be that would actually be very funny. But then everybody

<v Speaker 1>would say, oh, you're just copying off the curd angle stuff.

<v Speaker 1>Joseph says, I met sensational Sherry a long time ago.

<v Speaker 1>She was very nice and sweet. I miss her very much.

<v Speaker 1>That's cool. What did you Where did you get to

<v Speaker 1>meet her? Dried Chicken, says Coping Christian versus the MotorCity

<v Speaker 1>Machine Guns winner gets a free barbecue catering deal. May's

<v Speaker 1>the great. It would be funny if one day you

<v Speaker 1>turned heel for a night and told the chat after stalling,

<v Speaker 1>no buzzer beater, you haven't earned it. Now we hit

<v Speaker 1>the goal. We hit the goal. Gotta be fair, Brian.

<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Brian? The main event needs more cowbell.

<v Speaker 1>Could be a cowbell match. There's your stipulation. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>We're seven out of ten now in the bonus goal.

<v Speaker 1>We may we may, we may well get to stipulations

<v Speaker 1>here depends how fast I run through these last few messages. EJ.

<v Speaker 1>Slam waiting for someone to bring up what Afa did

<v Speaker 1>in court and say the Island Boys have been treated

<v Speaker 1>like the mafia since opposite of what Rakishi said. I

<v Speaker 1>think the Island Boys have been treated very well by

<v Speaker 1>that company over the years Hopelling ninety three. Funny moment

<v Speaker 1>after Rakishi's heel turn is when he has a message

<v Speaker 1>relays the Rock. Rakishi later asks Rock did you get

<v Speaker 1>my message? And Rock responds the Rock did, and he

<v Speaker 1>wants nothing to do with you. Yeah, well he always spoken.

<v Speaker 1>The third person probably went home and you know his

<v Speaker 1>wife was like, what do you want for dinner? Well,

<v Speaker 1>the Rock wants some chicken breast for dinner, and the

<v Speaker 1>Rock wants this, and the Rock wants that. Joseph says,

<v Speaker 1>did you know Keith David was the voice of the

<v Speaker 1>Gargoyle character Goliath on Gargoyles? Well, I do now. I

<v Speaker 1>did not know that before, but I do now. Try chicken.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you for the five, what's with you? And barbecue?

<v Speaker 1>Joseph says, have a good night, Sala Monster. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>forevery well, thank you for the messages, and thank you

<v Speaker 1>for the support. And finally here e J Slimp with

<v Speaker 1>the four ninety nine. Sherry is on my Mount Rushmore

<v Speaker 1>with Heenan Hayman and Cornett. She's definitely up there, that's

<v Speaker 1>for sure. She's pretty high up on the list. It's

<v Speaker 1>hard to leave off someone like Jimmy Hart, though, he

<v Speaker 1>would make the cut. Sherry, I feel like we'd be

<v Speaker 1>right underneath Rock Legner. You know, people also, they just

<v Speaker 1>they see Sherry as a manager and she's a great manager.

<v Speaker 1>And I think even like Booker t has has really

<v Speaker 1>put over how important she was when she liked when

<v Speaker 1>she was managing Harlem Heat. But even Shawn Michaels, you know,

<v Speaker 1>when he first started out as a singles heel, talked

<v Speaker 1>about how Sherry looked out for him and was very

<v Speaker 1>important and instrumental in getting him off the ground as

<v Speaker 1>a heel, and also very instrumental in terms of his

<v Speaker 1>entrance music because the first time that you heard Sexy

<v Speaker 1>Boy was not Shawn Michael's voice on there was Sherry's.

<v Speaker 1>She was the one singing the song. And then you

<v Speaker 1>go back to like her and Savage and the Macho

<v Speaker 1>King and you know, Queen Sherry. She managed Debiasse for

<v Speaker 1>a while. Who else did she manage like in WCW.

<v Speaker 1>Did she manage anybody else that I'm missing? Well, she

<v Speaker 1>was with Flair for a while, I think, but people

<v Speaker 1>forget that she had this whole wrestling career, you know,

<v Speaker 1>before that, and she was a Women's World Champion, like

<v Speaker 1>imagine that version of Sherry in the later years, where

<v Speaker 1>like more attention in this company was devoted to the

<v Speaker 1>women's division. I honestly don't know how much she would

<v Speaker 1>have been pushed just because she didn't look like your

<v Speaker 1>typical like Vince had a thing for blondes, clearly if

<v Speaker 1>you watch his product over the years, I'd like to

<v Speaker 1>think that her talent would have elevated her to be

<v Speaker 1>one of the top stars in that division. But who

<v Speaker 1>the hell knows? You know, for how years they had

<v Speaker 1>fucking Lauriniitis scrolling through lingerie catalogs looking for women and

<v Speaker 1>fuck these people? Anomalye Alex. This raw review has been

<v Speaker 1>sponsored by door Dash. I have nothing wrong with DoorDash.

<v Speaker 1>I like DoorDash, but it's terrible when they play it

<v Speaker 1>up over and over and over again. The way they

<v Speaker 1>do on this show gets to be too much. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>have yourselves a good night. I believe they just started

<v Speaker 1>a brand new marathon on the WWE Vault channel of

<v Speaker 1>all eighty stuff. Oh boy, I know what I'm falling

<v Speaker 1>asleep to tonight. I put it on before for like

<v Speaker 1>like ten seconds, and it was some studio wrestling from

<v Speaker 1>the NWA, So I don't think it's just eighties WWE.

<v Speaker 1>It's just eighties stuff in general, which I like because

<v Speaker 1>you never know what you're gonna land on. It's totally random.

<v Speaker 1>I love these these like marathon streams. They run for

<v Speaker 1>like a week at a time. So I'm gonna go

<v Speaker 1>check that out, probably find more interest in that than

<v Speaker 1>Raw tonight. And then we'll be back tomorrow brand new

<v Speaker 1>episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling Show that is dropping tomorrow,

<v Speaker 1>and then TNT and back here for Dynamite. Until then,

<v Speaker 1>have yourselves a good night, and I will see you

<v Speaker 1>live here on the channel again real soon. Until then,

<v Speaker 1>take care, guys,
