<v Speaker 1>Only appropriate here for the clash in Italy stream that

<v Speaker 1>we have some music that makes you feel like you're

<v Speaker 1>right at your grandmother's kitchen. Since we can't be there,

<v Speaker 1>in turn with everybody else, I thought I would bring

<v Speaker 1>Italy to all of you. Tonight. We had tribal combat,

<v Speaker 1>the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. We weren't sure

<v Speaker 1>what Jacob fought To's status was going to be. Suffered

<v Speaker 1>a back injury the other night at a live event

<v Speaker 1>in a match against Solo Socoa, who I believe he's

<v Speaker 1>going to be seeing quite a bit of on television

<v Speaker 1>very soon, so there was some speculation about what his

<v Speaker 1>condition would be, would he be able to go for

<v Speaker 1>the match. We got the match tonight, and first half

<v Speaker 1>of the match honestly was kind of boring, picked up

<v Speaker 1>nicely a little bit later on. They ended up having

<v Speaker 1>a good match. I'm not going to sit here and

<v Speaker 1>tell you it was anything great, and we had the

<v Speaker 1>very predictable outcome. We had Roman Reigns retaining the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Chainampionship. Jacob fought two drops too straight to the

<v Speaker 1>tribal chief in the same month. This man cannot beat

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns, which of course, now means that Jacob Fought

<v Speaker 1>Two must serve Roman Reigns. Maybe he's going to serve

<v Speaker 1>him an Italian dinner. I don't know. I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>but he's gonna have to serve him. He's going to

<v Speaker 1>have to acknowledge him. That will happen on Raw tomorrow night.

<v Speaker 1>And I watched the end of that match, and again

<v Speaker 1>I wasn't shocked, which is why I went with Roman

<v Speaker 1>and my predictions when I went over the predictions for

<v Speaker 1>this show. But doesn't mean I wasn't disappointed to see it.

<v Speaker 1>I was more disappointed in what we are really looking

<v Speaker 1>at now coming out of the match, because I told

<v Speaker 1>all of you, I said, you know, if Jacob Fought

<v Speaker 1>two were to actually win the World Championship on this show,

<v Speaker 1>as per what Roman Reigns said on television last week,

<v Speaker 1>he would have to fall back. He would fall in

<v Speaker 1>line and basically become number two, and Jacob FAUGHTU would

<v Speaker 1>become essentially the tribal chief, right, he would be the

<v Speaker 1>guy in the driver's seat, and we were still gonna

<v Speaker 1>get bloodline lore and that was not going to go away,

<v Speaker 1>but it would be a little bit of a different

<v Speaker 1>spin on things. Right with Roman having to take a

<v Speaker 1>back seat to somebody else. At least that would freshen

<v Speaker 1>things up, make things a little more interesting. If Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns were to win this match. Well, now you've taken

<v Speaker 1>Jacob Fatu, You've beaten him twice, You've made it very

<v Speaker 1>clear that this man cannot be the world heavyweight champion,

<v Speaker 1>and now he falls in line like everybody else in

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns continues on, you know, doing the same stuff

<v Speaker 1>that Roman Reigns has been doing for the last six years,

<v Speaker 1>and nothing really appreciably changes here. Everything pretty much says

<v Speaker 1>the same. And that's what they did tonight. Roman went

<v Speaker 1>over and he was very full of himself, and he

<v Speaker 1>glances over and who do we see in the crowd

<v Speaker 1>when the match is over, looking at Jacob fought to

<v Speaker 1>and shaking his head like a disappointed dad. Solo Socoa.

<v Speaker 1>The MFTs are in the crowd, and Roman looks over

<v Speaker 1>at them and says, we'll take care of them. They're next.

<v Speaker 1>My heart sank when I heard him say this, and

<v Speaker 1>I realize what it was that we were looking at

<v Speaker 1>here now going forward, or at least what it appears

<v Speaker 1>to be. My heart sank. I felt like I was

<v Speaker 1>being transported back to wargames in twenty twenty four. I

<v Speaker 1>felt like I was actually going backwards. It's like when

<v Speaker 1>you're kind of driving up a very steep hill and

<v Speaker 1>it's as if the engine cuts out on you, and

<v Speaker 1>now you get that feeling like, oh shit, the car's

<v Speaker 1>rolling backwards. That's kind of what I feel like now

<v Speaker 1>with WWE. And I said this on X Twitter whatever,

<v Speaker 1>that a conversation has to be had about this company's

<v Speaker 1>reluctance refusal to shine a spotlight on any other real

<v Speaker 1>majors when it comes. I'm talking about like main event,

<v Speaker 1>top line stories, like the story of the company, right,

<v Speaker 1>because it's been so focused on the Bloodline for so

<v Speaker 1>many years now, and I understand like that was their

<v Speaker 1>golden goose for so long. Not that they still can't

<v Speaker 1>make money off of it, right, but we're far beyond

<v Speaker 1>the peak years of the Bloodline story and it worked

<v Speaker 1>out so well for them for so long, and I

<v Speaker 1>get it, I get it. I understand it. It's like

<v Speaker 1>WCW with the nWo. It worked for them for so

<v Speaker 1>long until it didn't, until it didn't, and they went

<v Speaker 1>so long with it that people got sick. And tired

<v Speaker 1>of it, and they kept adding more members and it

<v Speaker 1>just wasn't the same. And they had strayed so far

<v Speaker 1>away from what had worked with that story when it

<v Speaker 1>first started. And then we ended up with splinter factions

<v Speaker 1>and we had nWo two thousand and I'm like, what

<v Speaker 1>the fuck are we doing here? But they held onto it.

<v Speaker 1>They squeezed it for every last drop they could. This

<v Speaker 1>is WWE's version of that. They can't let go. Everything

<v Speaker 1>has to revolve around the bloodline. The bloodline vortex is real.

<v Speaker 1>It's a real thing, and it's one thing to continue

<v Speaker 1>the bloodline story. It's a completely different thing to focus

<v Speaker 1>so heavily on it that we are still closing shows,

<v Speaker 1>We are still closing ples with Roman Reigns putting his

<v Speaker 1>finger in the air in the usso's flanking him as

<v Speaker 1>his young boys right as Seampunk called them, and new

<v Speaker 1>people falling in line behind Roman and now teasing another

<v Speaker 1>bloodline civil war. And that is how Clash in Italy

<v Speaker 1>went off the air tonight with a very very apparent

<v Speaker 1>tease of a bloodline slash MFT feud yet to come,

<v Speaker 1>potentially with Jacob Fatu being caught in the middle. I

<v Speaker 1>guess that's the interesting little wrinkle that they might be

<v Speaker 1>putting into this. And I'm like, these people can't be serious,

<v Speaker 1>Like you cannot seriously be teasing this. Are we so

<v Speaker 1>devoid of idea? Are we so out of fresh ideas

<v Speaker 1>in this multi billion dollar company with an entire creative team,

<v Speaker 1>that everything is still revolving around the fucking bloodline this

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six when Roman came back as the tribal

<v Speaker 1>chief with Paul Hayman by his side, it was August

<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty. We are approaching six years, six years

<v Speaker 1>since this whole story started. Remember Roman and Jayu, So

<v Speaker 1>that's where it all began. Six years of this and

<v Speaker 1>they still keep going back to that same well. And

<v Speaker 1>when the show was over again, there was nothing about

<v Speaker 1>the show that made me kind of sit back and

<v Speaker 1>take stock and go, well this this feels fresh, This

<v Speaker 1>feels like something different, This feels like something new. No,

<v Speaker 1>it was more of the same. It was more of

<v Speaker 1>the same. It was your typical wwepl e. It was

<v Speaker 1>your typical you know, bloodline main event. And now we'll

<v Speaker 1>get more of this lore, you know that'll play itself

<v Speaker 1>out on television And look, I don't know where they're

<v Speaker 1>gonna take it. You don't know where they're gonna We

<v Speaker 1>have kind of a sense of where it might go,

<v Speaker 1>and maybe they'll end up taking a detour and it'll

<v Speaker 1>go a completely different way. That's actually interesting and it'll

<v Speaker 1>add a completely new dimension to things. But as things

<v Speaker 1>currently stand, I watched Jacob Fatu lose that match tonight

<v Speaker 1>and I see where they appear to be going with this,

<v Speaker 1>and none of this excites me. And this is what

<v Speaker 1>everything is built around this. This is what they close

<v Speaker 1>the show with, is what they're going to open role

<v Speaker 1>with tomorrow night. And I'm like, they are just so

<v Speaker 1>out of ideas. And to illustrate my point when the

<v Speaker 1>show is over, we had Roman Reigns as the show

<v Speaker 1>was going off the air making comments about QB one

<v Speaker 1>fuck that, I'm the tribal chief, I'm the guy, this

<v Speaker 1>and that, And on the post show they asked Cody

<v Speaker 1>Rhodes about this because Cody didn't hear what Roman had

<v Speaker 1>Sae said, and Cody made some comments about Roman, Right,

<v Speaker 1>I'm hard to be easy to find, hard to beats.

<v Speaker 1>You know, if he wants to get in the line,

<v Speaker 1>I'll give him a rematch too, you know, because we're

<v Speaker 1>one win apiece. He kicked my ass, I kicked his ass.

<v Speaker 1>He wants in line, go ahead, step in line. And

<v Speaker 1>then they had a little face to face confrontation. They

<v Speaker 1>ran into each other in the back. No words were exchanged,

<v Speaker 1>but it was sort of a glance and then Cody

<v Speaker 1>walked off, so leaning into the tease of yet another

<v Speaker 1>match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. And I don't

<v Speaker 1>know when that match would come. That could be the

<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel match, if we assume there's going to be

<v Speaker 1>a Crown Jewel Show in Saudi later this year. If

<v Speaker 1>things were to stay exactly the way they are right now,

<v Speaker 1>you got Roman Reigns as the champion on one brand,

<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhodes of the champion on the other brand. As

<v Speaker 1>of this moment, we are headed for a Crown Jewel

<v Speaker 1>title match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Do I

<v Speaker 1>think they'll still be champion by that point? Probably not,

<v Speaker 1>But that's the way things are shaping up. Maybe it's

<v Speaker 1>not Crowned. Maybe they're giving a little hint of what's

<v Speaker 1>to come at Saudi Mania next year. And look, the

<v Speaker 1>first two matches that Roman and Cody had were great matches.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that they were bad matches, But what

<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is you find all these examples where it

<v Speaker 1>just feels like you're watching shit on a loop. Nothing

<v Speaker 1>ever really feels like it changes. They're running, They're running

<v Speaker 1>the greatest hits basically of the last few years, over

<v Speaker 1>and over again. You just get to a point where

<v Speaker 1>it's like, is this really exciting anymore? Is this really

<v Speaker 1>what we're building to? Is this what the next six

<v Speaker 1>to twelve months of WWE television is going to look like?

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns is still the World Heavyweight Champion, Cody Roads

<v Speaker 1>is still the WWE Champion. I thought we would get

<v Speaker 1>I didn't think both titles would change hands. I thought,

<v Speaker 1>if anything, one title would change hands, I thought it

<v Speaker 1>would be Cody's belt. As it turned out, none of

<v Speaker 1>the top titles changed hands tonight. One of the women's

<v Speaker 1>mid card championships that changed hands. That was it. But

<v Speaker 1>speaking of the Cody match, we had a controversial finish

<v Speaker 1>to the WWE title match. Gunther lost the man who

<v Speaker 1>had not lost a single match since losing the CM

<v Speaker 1>punk at Summer Slam last year. The man who sent

<v Speaker 1>John Cena off into the sunset, who sent aj Styles

<v Speaker 1>off into the sunset, has now lost, and he lost

<v Speaker 1>in the most unremarkable way to Cody Roads. It was

<v Speaker 1>one of those finishes where you saw it and it's like, eh,

<v Speaker 1>what what was it when this happen here? But they

<v Speaker 1>did it in the way because they want to run

<v Speaker 1>it back again. That's probably going to be your Night

<v Speaker 1>of Champions main event. So now they get to do

<v Speaker 1>Cody and gun through at least one more time. But yes,

<v Speaker 1>in the meantime, Gunther has lost on a controversial finish

<v Speaker 1>at the end of that opening match tonight. Then we

<v Speaker 1>had what they were billing as the rematch of the century,

<v Speaker 1>the greatest rematch in wrestling history. He beat Goldberg too, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>well fuck Goldberg. We had what they called the biggest

<v Speaker 1>rematch of all time, Brock Lesnar against Obafemi Part two.

<v Speaker 1>And I laid out a whole thing going into this

<v Speaker 1>about why Obafemi did not have to lose this match.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, sure he might, but I think everybody was

<v Speaker 1>assuming that, Okay, Brock's back, We're gonna get the trilogy.

<v Speaker 1>So so Brock has to win match number two and I'm like, no,

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't. He doesn't have to lose match too. This

<v Speaker 1>is actually a perfectly fine story you can tell where

<v Speaker 1>he wins match number two and then he goes on

<v Speaker 1>to win match number three as well. And of course

<v Speaker 1>WWE did what you would expect WWE to do, and

<v Speaker 1>they had Brock Lesnar beat Obafemi. So not only did

<v Speaker 1>Gunther suffer his first loss tonight in almost a year,

<v Speaker 1>Obafemi suffered his first loss on the main roster. Now

<v Speaker 1>they went out there and they had what I thought

<v Speaker 1>was a really fun match, had an excellent match, a

<v Speaker 1>better match than the one they had at wrestle Media,

<v Speaker 1>although not that much longer. The WrestleMania match was about

<v Speaker 1>four minutes. This one was about six. It didn't even

<v Speaker 1>go full two minutes longer. It was marginally longer, but

<v Speaker 1>it was all action from bell to bell. You know

<v Speaker 1>what it reminded me of, speaking of Goldberg, it reminded

<v Speaker 1>me of the Goldberg Brock match from WrestleMania thirty three,

<v Speaker 1>which also went six minutes, and that was all action

<v Speaker 1>from bell to bell. It was finished her spam, but

<v Speaker 1>it was exactly what it needed to be. That's exactly

<v Speaker 1>what this match was six minutes smash Mouth Rock wins,

<v Speaker 1>same outcome, and so now of course they're not at

<v Speaker 1>up one win apiece, so ge I wonder how this

<v Speaker 1>is going to end. Of course, they're going to run

<v Speaker 1>it back at Summer Slim. Although there is a little wrinkle.

<v Speaker 1>There is a little wrinkle in things. I'll talk about

<v Speaker 1>that here in a second. We had two very good

<v Speaker 1>women's title matches on this show. Jade Car Gill had

<v Speaker 1>what I thought was the best match that I've ever

<v Speaker 1>seen her have in her career in yet another loss

<v Speaker 1>to Rhea Ripley, which is exactly what it needed to be.

<v Speaker 1>And soul Ruka is the brand new Women's Intercontinental Champion.

<v Speaker 1>She finally won one. I mean, Becky was making fun

<v Speaker 1>of her on television for weeks and she was winless.

<v Speaker 1>Not only did she win, she actually hit her finish

<v Speaker 1>and it looked good, so good for her. So she

<v Speaker 1>is now the Women's Intercontinental Champion. This show, I thought, overall,

<v Speaker 1>it was actually it was a good show if you

<v Speaker 1>base it entirely on the inn ring, if you look

<v Speaker 1>at the matches that we got tonight, because like storyline wise,

<v Speaker 1>there was nothing here. But if you look at the

<v Speaker 1>Inn Ring. I can't say it was a bad show.

<v Speaker 1>It was a bad show in certain other ways, but

<v Speaker 1>in terms of the matches we got it. It was

<v Speaker 1>good in terms of the Inn Ring. Now on the

<v Speaker 1>post show, we got the brackets for the King and

<v Speaker 1>Queen of the Ring tournaments, which are going to commence

<v Speaker 1>this week on television. The finals will take place in

<v Speaker 1>Riot at Night of champions. The winners of each tournament

<v Speaker 1>will then get a world championship opportunity at Summer Slim. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>so they've already laid all of that out. They are

<v Speaker 1>doing fatal four ways instead of doing singles matches, which

<v Speaker 1>is again I wish they would do straight singles matches. Here,

<v Speaker 1>this is how they do things. If it's not a

<v Speaker 1>fatal four way, it's a triple threat. And they do

<v Speaker 1>it because they have no fucking balls. They don't have

<v Speaker 1>balls to beat people with names. They don't want to

<v Speaker 1>beat them straight up. So what do you do when

<v Speaker 1>you put some of these big names in these tournament matches, Well,

<v Speaker 1>you make it a three way or you make it

<v Speaker 1>a four way, so that way you can protect them

<v Speaker 1>because again they have no balls. So in this tournament

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have a bunch of fatal four way matches.

<v Speaker 1>Let me show you the Queen of the Ring bracket first.

<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna start with this. This is the

<v Speaker 1>bracket for the Queen of the Ring tournament. And I

<v Speaker 1>would like to draw your attention if I may, to

<v Speaker 1>the top left corner of your screen. Yes, you are

<v Speaker 1>not seeing things. That is the Women's World Champion, Live Morgan,

<v Speaker 1>who is entered into the Queen of the Ring tournament. Now.

<v Speaker 1>On the post show, Live was there. She didn't have

<v Speaker 1>a match tonight because they haven't done fuck all with

<v Speaker 1>her since WrestleMania, but she was there, and so they

<v Speaker 1>had her go out and explain on the post show

<v Speaker 1>that she wanted to enter herself into the Queen of

<v Speaker 1>the Ring because she wants it all. I want it

<v Speaker 1>all because that's the There's no other way to explain it.

<v Speaker 1>It's the only way you could possibly explain her being

<v Speaker 1>in this tournament. You'll notice she's in the tournament, but

<v Speaker 1>I don't see Rhea Ripley in this tournament. In fact,

<v Speaker 1>if you look at the King of the Ring tournament,

<v Speaker 1>there's no Men's World Champion in there, but there's Live Morgan.

<v Speaker 1>Why the fuck she needed to be in the Queen

<v Speaker 1>of the Ring tournament. I have no idea. Maybe it'll

<v Speaker 1>set up an actual feud for her on the raw

<v Speaker 1>side coming out of this, because she certainly had none

<v Speaker 1>since WrestleMania. With any luck, we'll get Stephanie Vacare back

<v Speaker 1>on TV, so this woman could actually have something to do.

<v Speaker 1>So that was the first weird fucking thing I noticed

<v Speaker 1>here in this bracket. And I got to be honest

<v Speaker 1>with you, when I initially looked at this, I looked

<v Speaker 1>at this the wrong way, and I foolishly I was like, wow,

<v Speaker 1>I go look at all these matches that we have.

<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at this bracket when I first laid eyes

<v Speaker 1>on it, and I thought they were singles match. So

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, wow, Live Morgan against Becky Lynch. And we

<v Speaker 1>have what else we have here? We have Charlotte Flair

<v Speaker 1>against Jade Cargill one on one. My goodness, look at

<v Speaker 1>these matches that we have. And then I realize, ah, fuck,

<v Speaker 1>it's a bunch of fucking four ways. But yes, they

<v Speaker 1>are putting Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill in the same

<v Speaker 1>four way match, and it's not at all surprise that

<v Speaker 1>these two would be, you know, wrestling coming out of

<v Speaker 1>this show. But what I was not expecting was that

<v Speaker 1>they would be part of the same opening round match,

<v Speaker 1>which means that at least one of them, if not

<v Speaker 1>both of them, are getting batter bounced in the opening

<v Speaker 1>round here. So yes, that's one interesting thing. When you

<v Speaker 1>look at the bracket, We've got Charlotte and Jade in

<v Speaker 1>that match. You look at the other side of the bracket,

<v Speaker 1>we got Eosky and Julia, They're gonna be in the

<v Speaker 1>same match along with Lash legend in Rox, Sane Perez Bailey,

<v Speaker 1>Raquel Rodriguez, j C Jane, Keana James. And then to

<v Speaker 1>go back to the other side, Live Morgan, Becky Lanch,

<v Speaker 1>Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green, which means Alexa Bliss and

<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair could very well end up in the semi

<v Speaker 1>finals against each other, which is kind of interesting. You know,

<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at this and I'll be able to go

<v Speaker 1>into more detail about this, you know, during the week.

<v Speaker 1>It's I analyze this further, but just taking a cursory

<v Speaker 1>look at what we have here, it just seemed to

<v Speaker 1>me the Summer Slam match on the SmackDown side, Rhea

<v Speaker 1>Ripley against Charlotte Flair is the one that makes sense. Now.

<v Speaker 1>That doesn't mean Charlotte to win Queen of the Ring,

<v Speaker 1>although I would say with the raw women's champion being

<v Speaker 1>in this tournament, probably a better chance of someone from

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown winning. So Charlotte Flair has to be the favorite.

<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean she has to win it, but I would

<v Speaker 1>say that she's got to be the favorite right now

<v Speaker 1>to win this thing. You can't count out Becky Lynch

<v Speaker 1>because Becky Lynch is no longer the Intercontinental champions. So

<v Speaker 1>you wonder if they took the belt off of her

<v Speaker 1>to move her into a position where she could challenge

<v Speaker 1>for the world title. That's a possibility, I suppose, although honestly,

<v Speaker 1>it would make more sense for Live to drop the

<v Speaker 1>belt back to Stephanie before summer. Slimy do Stephanie and Becky,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't know that I see them doing that.

<v Speaker 1>But to me, it's Charlotte. You got EO and the

<v Speaker 1>other one, and I mentioned her name the other day,

<v Speaker 1>jac Jane. Don't count out jac Jane. She's my dark

<v Speaker 1>horse pick here for this tournament. The other names I'm

<v Speaker 1>looking at here outside of Charlotte Eo and jac I

<v Speaker 1>don't think they have a chance, But this is what

<v Speaker 1>the women's bracket looks like. Now, let's flip over to

<v Speaker 1>the King of the Ring tournament bracket. This one was

<v Speaker 1>even more confusing to me when I initially looked at

<v Speaker 1>it and I thought I was looking at a bunch

<v Speaker 1>of singles matches. I'm like, why the fuck would you

<v Speaker 1>be doing Oba Femi against Penta in the opening round

<v Speaker 1>of this tournament? And then again I realized that we're

<v Speaker 1>looking at a bunch of four ways here. Oba Femi

<v Speaker 1>is in the King of the Ring. But after what

<v Speaker 1>they did tonight, how much worse would it be if

<v Speaker 1>they were not doing a third match with Brock? Think

<v Speaker 1>about that. If Oba is in this tournament and you're

<v Speaker 1>of the opinion that Oba Femi should be winning the

<v Speaker 1>King of the Ring, how the fuck does it make

<v Speaker 1>any sense for him to go in there tonight and

<v Speaker 1>lose to Brock Lesner. You've got to do the third match. Now,

<v Speaker 1>you can't not do the third match, which means Oba's

<v Speaker 1>in here. Obviously, a fatal four way makes it a

<v Speaker 1>little bit easier for him to lose because he's not

<v Speaker 1>being beaten directly, because again, no fucking balls, Not that

<v Speaker 1>I want to see that, but I'm just saying that's

<v Speaker 1>why they do this. But these are the matches Obafemi, Penta,

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa and Carmelo Hayes. Then we have Dominic Mysterio

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker, Trick Williams and Damian Priest. Other side of

<v Speaker 1>the bracket we have seth Rollins, Javan Evans, Talatonga and

<v Speaker 1>Ricky Saints. You can imagine my confusion when I thought

<v Speaker 1>this was singles matches and I saw Ricky Saints against

<v Speaker 1>Tala Tonga, I was like, who put this bracket together?

<v Speaker 1>And then we have jay usso La Knight, Royce Keys

<v Speaker 1>and Finn Balor or shall I say Pinbalor because he's

<v Speaker 1>not winning a damn thing. Honestly, my first thought and

<v Speaker 1>looking at this, I think they may be setting up

<v Speaker 1>for a bron breaker seth Rawlins final. And if that's

<v Speaker 1>what they're setting up for, then we may be looking

<v Speaker 1>at Roman reigns and seth Rawlins at Summer Slim that

<v Speaker 1>may well be your world heavyweight championsh imagine Summer Slim

<v Speaker 1>this year. Seth Rollins against Roman Reigns. That to me,

<v Speaker 1>just looking at this initially here just seems like the

<v Speaker 1>likeliest scenario. I know, all the La Night fans are

<v Speaker 1>not gonna want to hear that, but I mean again,

<v Speaker 1>let's let's just be honest. He's probably not even making

<v Speaker 1>it out of the first round. Okay. It's just it's very,

<v Speaker 1>very unlikely that that's going to happen. But I think

<v Speaker 1>that may be what we're looking at here. I'm just

<v Speaker 1>I'm taking a look at all these names. Trick williams

<v Speaker 1>Ain't going to Summer Slam for the world title, Talatanga,

<v Speaker 1>Ricky Sains, Damian pre jay Usso you can knock so

<v Speaker 1>many of these names right out right off the bat. Dominic, Mysterio, Solo, Socoa,

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Okay, so let's go back to what

<v Speaker 1>we saw at the end of the show tonight. Can

<v Speaker 1>you fucking imagine can you fucking imagine them setting up

<v Speaker 1>King Solo to challenge Roman Reigns again at Summer Slam

<v Speaker 1>for the World Heavyweight champion ship. I mean, probably not,

<v Speaker 1>but this is a possibility, now, this is a very

<v Speaker 1>real possibility. Now I don't even want to think about that.

<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to think about that anyway. These

<v Speaker 1>are the brackets, you know, I don't know. There's some

<v Speaker 1>questions with these brackets obviously, and there's the potential. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's the potential for some good matches in there. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>I like King of the Ring. I'm a fan of

<v Speaker 1>King of the Ring. I want them to continue to

<v Speaker 1>do it every year. But I have some questions and

<v Speaker 1>we'll explore some of them as we go along here

<v Speaker 1>and we get into some of these match results. I

<v Speaker 1>want to come back to the Obafemi stuff here in

<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but let's go through this entire thing. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>this is your Clash in Italy twenty twenty six review.

<v Speaker 1>I am the solemn monster here as we close out

<v Speaker 1>what has been a very good month of May here

<v Speaker 1>on the channel. I thank you for joining me here

<v Speaker 1>get them on in, and let's find out what the

<v Speaker 1>likes goal is going to be here for Clash in Italy,

<v Speaker 1>shall we. It would be kind of sad if we

<v Speaker 1>went through a Clash in Italy review and we didn't

<v Speaker 1>have a chance to do be the booker. Let's see

<v Speaker 1>what we need. Five point fifteen heyrhyes, Brown, just subscribe

<v Speaker 1>to the channel. Everybody to welcome Reese. Well, we're already

<v Speaker 1>closing in on four hundred likes, so I mean if

<v Speaker 1>five point fifteen should be a shoe in, take those thumbs,

<v Speaker 1>put them to good use, and let's see if we

<v Speaker 1>can break the goal. Lord of Dogtown says the vision

<v Speaker 1>shit bores me to death. I would rather watch Sola

<v Speaker 1>Monster take a ship. Nah. I don't think you would.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think you would. It is it is boring, though,

<v Speaker 1>Thank you Nico Nico Samuel dropping a twenty dollars super chef,

<v Speaker 1>thank you brother, hashtag king solo trending worldwide. Let's not

<v Speaker 1>put let's not put that into the universe. Can we

<v Speaker 1>not do that? Can we not put that into the universe?

<v Speaker 1>So Clash in Italy to that, in case you didn't know,

<v Speaker 1>was brought to you by Scary Movie because that was

<v Speaker 1>the giant logo on the mat and they had a

<v Speaker 1>bunch of previews for Scary Movie. So Scary I think

<v Speaker 1>Scary Movie is what coming out this Friday. I think

<v Speaker 1>right same day as Masters of the Universe. I think

<v Speaker 1>they opened on ESPN with Cody Rhodes defending the WWE

<v Speaker 1>Championship against Gunther And you knew from the opening entrances

<v Speaker 1>here on the show. I haven't mentioned the crowd yet.

<v Speaker 1>You knew from the opening entrances on this show that

<v Speaker 1>this crowd was going to be something special, and they were.

<v Speaker 1>And I'm sure people will be comparing the crowd in

<v Speaker 1>Italy tonight to the crowd in Leon, France for Backlash

<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago. That was a great crowd,

<v Speaker 1>and this show had a great crowd as well. They

<v Speaker 1>were chanting, they were singing, they were up for everything,

<v Speaker 1>well most everything, most everything on this show. Actually, there

<v Speaker 1>were various points during the main event where they were

<v Speaker 1>actually quiet more so than they were for any other

<v Speaker 1>match on the show, which was kind of surprising, but

<v Speaker 1>then again not really because they were definitely boring stretches

<v Speaker 1>of that main event. Gunther's song has no words, and

<v Speaker 1>somehow the crowd was singing him to the ring. Very impressive.

<v Speaker 1>Cody Roads wore his WrestleMania a skull mask for his entrance,

<v Speaker 1>and they mentioned that these two were also the most

<v Speaker 1>two recent King of the Ring tournament winners. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if they mentioned the fact that they also had

<v Speaker 1>a magic Crown jewel a couple of years ago, which

<v Speaker 1>Cody won. So some things never change. But yes, Cody

<v Speaker 1>Roads one King of the Ring last year and gun

<v Speaker 1>thro one King of the Ring the year before that.

<v Speaker 1>That is true. So the fans were reacting to basically

<v Speaker 1>everything these guys were doing. Gunter cut off a Cody

<v Speaker 1>Cutter attempt by chopping him down, and he was dominating

<v Speaker 1>the early portion of the match until Cody caught him

<v Speaker 1>with a power slam and that he hit him with

<v Speaker 1>a pedigree for a near fall. Gun through with a

<v Speaker 1>power bomb and a stack for a near fall of

<v Speaker 1>his own. He went for a diving splash off the top.

<v Speaker 1>Cody gout then knees up, followed that with a disaster

<v Speaker 1>kick and then a crossroads, but only for a two count,

<v Speaker 1>So Cody went for another Cody cutter. He got caught though,

<v Speaker 1>in a sleeper hold, and Cody was struggling. He was

<v Speaker 1>trying to get out of it. Gunther got it reapplied,

<v Speaker 1>though when he did get out of it, Cody got

<v Speaker 1>back up to his feet, he fell backwards and he

<v Speaker 1>broke the hold. But again Gunther locked in the sleeper.

<v Speaker 1>This time he got the body scissors applied. Cody looked

<v Speaker 1>a little bit like he might be fading, but he

<v Speaker 1>managed to get his foot on the bottom rope for

<v Speaker 1>the break. So they got up and we had a

<v Speaker 1>chop battle here between these two men. Cody dropped him

<v Speaker 1>with a Cody cutter, then he dropped him with a

<v Speaker 1>hard clothes line, and he hit a second crossroads. Now,

<v Speaker 1>after Gunther landed on the crossroads, you could tell that

<v Speaker 1>something was about to go down here because he had

<v Speaker 1>to position his body a little bit closer to the ropes.

<v Speaker 1>He wasn't quite close enough to the ropes so he

<v Speaker 1>kind of moved his body over a little bit and

<v Speaker 1>I thought a rope break was coming. Yeah, I thought

<v Speaker 1>he was going to put his foot on the bottom

<v Speaker 1>rope or something. Instead, Cody covered him, He hooked the

<v Speaker 1>leg right, He covers him, and he pinned him. Even

<v Speaker 1>though even from the initial camera angle you could kind

<v Speaker 1>of tell Gunther put his right foot under the bottom rope,

<v Speaker 1>his foot was under the rope. Referee didn't see it,

<v Speaker 1>so his foot was under the rope. The referee kept

<v Speaker 1>counting and Gunher was trying to plead his case. When

<v Speaker 1>the match was over and they showed, you know, a

<v Speaker 1>replay of what happened, the foot was indeed under the

<v Speaker 1>bottom rope. But when the referee counted two, Cody pulled back.

<v Speaker 1>He kind of leaned to the left. He pulled back

<v Speaker 1>on Gunther's other leg and it caused Gunph's right leg

<v Speaker 1>to come up, so it was no longer under the rope,

<v Speaker 1>and the referee counted three and that was it, and

<v Speaker 1>just like that, Cody Rhoades retains the WWE Championship. The

<v Speaker 1>referee was having none of what Gunther was selling. Referee's

<v Speaker 1>decision only when they feel like it Obviously, we have

<v Speaker 1>situations where another referee sometimes will come out. That only

<v Speaker 1>happens when they feel like it. Most of the time, though,

<v Speaker 1>the referee's decision is supposed to be final. And that

<v Speaker 1>was it, and Gunther stormed off a very underwhelming finish

<v Speaker 1>to what I thought otherwise was a good match for

<v Speaker 1>the time they got, which was not nearly enough. They

<v Speaker 1>gave these guys eleven minutes. But the WWE Championship match

<v Speaker 1>on this show, they gave these guys eleven minutes. And

<v Speaker 1>this is the problem with being in that opening match

<v Speaker 1>on the ESPN hour. They don't give you as much

<v Speaker 1>time as you would get later in the show. You're

<v Speaker 1>very limited, or you're more limited in the time that

<v Speaker 1>you have when you have two matches, and of course

<v Speaker 1>in between the matches you got fucking twenty five minutes

<v Speaker 1>of fucking ads and entrances, so you only have so

<v Speaker 1>much time in that ESPN hour. These guys got eleven minutes.

<v Speaker 1>And part of it also was okay, this is the

<v Speaker 1>first clearly they're going to run this back again, and

<v Speaker 1>they didn't want to ge too much away, right, I'm

<v Speaker 1>not saying they had to go twenty five minutes eleven

<v Speaker 1>fucking minutes. I mean, you're only gonna get so much

<v Speaker 1>in eleven minutes. I thought for the eleven minutes that

<v Speaker 1>we got it was good, but it was not nearly

<v Speaker 1>enough time as far as the finish is concerned. Look,

<v Speaker 1>if they if they were gonna beat Gunther, there had

<v Speaker 1>to at least be some controversy to it. There was

<v Speaker 1>controversy to it. I just thought the way that it

<v Speaker 1>came off and the way that they did it was

<v Speaker 1>very lame. It was just very lame. Like when I

<v Speaker 1>watched it, it took me a few seconds to process,

<v Speaker 1>like wait what, And then when I realized what they

<v Speaker 1>had done, I was like, that's it. It's fucking lame.

<v Speaker 1>You know. I understand they want to run this back

<v Speaker 1>again at some point, but I don't know. I just

<v Speaker 1>think the way it came off and the way they

<v Speaker 1>chose to do it very very underwhelming, very underwhelming. And

<v Speaker 1>also I guess they wanted to do it this way

<v Speaker 1>instead of having him put his foot on the rope,

<v Speaker 1>because in the very next match they were doing the

<v Speaker 1>rope stuff with Jade and Rhea foot on the rope,

<v Speaker 1>foot not on the rope, foot on the rope. Foot

<v Speaker 1>not on the rope. They did this in back to

<v Speaker 1>back matches, so in this case they had him put

<v Speaker 1>his foot under the rope. I guess just to be

<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. These two work well together. I

<v Speaker 1>don't mind them, you know, running it back again. But

<v Speaker 1>for this show man, this was a groner is what

<v Speaker 1>this was. And I am not a fan of beating Gunther.

<v Speaker 1>I am not a fan of beating him in the

<v Speaker 1>way that they did, and that this is how he

<v Speaker 1>suffers that first loss since he became this you know,

<v Speaker 1>kind of unstoppable force on the roster. He just got

<v Speaker 1>moved over to the SmackDown brand, his first big match

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown, and they fucking beat him. Controversy or not,

<v Speaker 1>That's not something that I would have done. Obviously they

<v Speaker 1>felt differently. After this, we had a WRESTLEMANI a rematch

<v Speaker 1>with Rhea Ripley defending the WWE Women's Championship against Jade Cargill.

<v Speaker 1>These two got more time than Cody and Gunther did.

<v Speaker 1>But to be fair, this was the blowoff. Whereas the

<v Speaker 1>Cody and Gunther thing that was the first match. Rio

<v Speaker 1>was super old and when is she not super over?

<v Speaker 1>Jade got good heat. Ria was super over. They mentioned

<v Speaker 1>her grandparents were from Italy and then later moved to Australia,

<v Speaker 1>so she has some roots there and Jade was dominant

<v Speaker 1>for the early part of this match. Here she charged

<v Speaker 1>it Rhea in the corner. Rea moved and Jade posted

<v Speaker 1>herself shoulder first. Jay ducked out to the floor. Ripley

<v Speaker 1>followed her with a cannon ball off the apron, which

<v Speaker 1>she had tried earlier in the show didn't work. This

<v Speaker 1>time it did. Back inside, Ripley tried for a razor's edge. Cargil,

<v Speaker 1>though backdropped out of it. Riea then dropped her with

<v Speaker 1>a boot. Both ladies were down and then they both

<v Speaker 1>rose up. We got the ya boo dueling strikes. Ripley

<v Speaker 1>escaped the Jaded attempt, she got off a razor's edge

<v Speaker 1>and then Riha got her up in an electric chair.

<v Speaker 1>What ended up happening, though, is Jade flipped them both

<v Speaker 1>over the top rope Ria, though landed on her feet,

<v Speaker 1>still had Jade on her shoulders, and then dropped her

<v Speaker 1>down face first onto the ring apron. So back inside,

<v Speaker 1>Ripley went for riptide again. Jade escaped. She went for jaded.

<v Speaker 1>This time, Rihea escaped, Jade countered the counter into a

<v Speaker 1>spike DDT for a near fall, and then Jade followed

<v Speaker 1>with a blue thunderbomb for another near fall. Jade went

<v Speaker 1>for something off the top. Riha, though, cut her off

<v Speaker 1>and delivered a backdrop superplex, and she folded this woman's

<v Speaker 1>neck up real good only for a two count though,

<v Speaker 1>And so here comes Meechin and Befab, So now fuckery

<v Speaker 1>is abound. And here they come down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Jade connects on a pump kick. Ripley, though, escapes another

<v Speaker 1>Jaded attempt into a roll through, and then she jumps

<v Speaker 1>up and does the double stomp to the chest. Rhea

<v Speaker 1>finally hits riptide and Jade lands close to where the

<v Speaker 1>ropes are, which also happens to be the same side

<v Speaker 1>of the ring where Meechin and BFAB are outside. So

<v Speaker 1>Ria goes to make the cover and BFAB was supposed

<v Speaker 1>to place Jade's foot on the bottom rope right, which

<v Speaker 1>seems like a very simple spot. So she had one

<v Speaker 1>job and she fucked it up because in fact, BFAB

<v Speaker 1>did not place Jade's foot on the bottom rope. She

<v Speaker 1>kind of sort of reached in to do it, and

<v Speaker 1>then realized that her foot was too far away, and

<v Speaker 1>then she kind of panicked and she went to do it.

<v Speaker 1>The referee had to hold up his count, so the

<v Speaker 1>referee stops his count. Jade had presence of mind to

<v Speaker 1>also put her foot on the rope, so they tried

<v Speaker 1>to save the spot. But yeah, this did not look good.

<v Speaker 1>Suffice it to say this did not look good. So

<v Speaker 1>the referee then ejected Meechin and bfab, who turned around

<v Speaker 1>to find Charlotte Flair diving off the barricade, taking both

<v Speaker 1>of them down with a crossbody. That's revenge, I guess

<v Speaker 1>for what Jade did to Alexa Bliss on SmackDown. This week,

<v Speaker 1>Jade finally hit Jaded again near the ropes, and this

<v Speaker 1>time Charlotte took Rhea's foot very easily and placed it

<v Speaker 1>on the bottom rope for the rope break, so she

<v Speaker 1>prevented Jade from regaining the championship. There. Ria then hit

<v Speaker 1>one last riptide and pin Jade to retain outside of

<v Speaker 1>that unfortunate botch there towards the end, which wasn't their fault.

<v Speaker 1>This is very good. I would even go as far

<v Speaker 1>as to say this is the best Jade Cargill match

<v Speaker 1>in her WWE run, And this is the best Jade

<v Speaker 1>Cargill match probably that she's had in her entire career.

<v Speaker 1>Her and Ria, they just they have a certain chemistry

<v Speaker 1>where they work well together. Part of it is Riha.

<v Speaker 1>But you can't just say it's all Ria because again,

<v Speaker 1>like you're in there with another person, right, You've got

<v Speaker 1>a dance part. You've got to be able to do

<v Speaker 1>the dances, you know what I mean. Like, you can't

<v Speaker 1>just say, well, you do all the work, because I

<v Speaker 1>know some people are going to look at this and go, well,

<v Speaker 1>you know, it's all Ria. That's why it was so good.

<v Speaker 1>Like no, it's because Aria and Jade and they work

<v Speaker 1>well together. They had a good match at WrestleMania. This

<v Speaker 1>one was very good. This one was better than their

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania match. So you got to give credit where credit

<v Speaker 1>is due. So the best match that Jade has had

<v Speaker 1>in the cut. Now you could say that it's still

<v Speaker 1>below you know, some of the elite women in the company,

<v Speaker 1>But who gives a shit in this match? I thought

<v Speaker 1>they had a very good one. Now, I will point

<v Speaker 1>out that they got seventeen minutes. They gave these two women.

<v Speaker 1>Stead they gave them six minutes more than Cody and

<v Speaker 1>Gunther had okay for their match, so it probably was

<v Speaker 1>Jade's longest singles match of her career. I don't remember

<v Speaker 1>her having a singles match fucking seventeen minutes long, right,

<v Speaker 1>find me one like that. Jade attacked Charlotte backstage after.

<v Speaker 1>I think they showed that on the post show. And

<v Speaker 1>again they're part I'll put the bracket have one more

<v Speaker 1>time here. They're part of the same opening fatal four

<v Speaker 1>way match here in the Queen of the Ring tournament.

<v Speaker 1>I was actually thinking, you know, before I saw this bracket,

<v Speaker 1>I was thinking that they were actually preparing for Charlotte

<v Speaker 1>and Jade in the finals. Which, yeah, maybe some people

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want Jade to go all the way to the finals,

<v Speaker 1>but it would have made sense, right, would have made

<v Speaker 1>sense for the two of them to both be competing

<v Speaker 1>for a title shot. But they've been beefing, and so

<v Speaker 1>you know, it all culminates at Night of Champions. But instead,

<v Speaker 1>again at least one of them, if not both of them,

<v Speaker 1>are getting bounced out of the opening round here, So

<v Speaker 1>we'll see how that plays out. I don't know when

<v Speaker 1>these matches, by the way, are taking place. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if they've announced which tournament matches are happening when

<v Speaker 1>I just know the tournament or tournaments are kicking off

<v Speaker 1>this week. Then we had, yeah, another wrestle MANI a rematch.

<v Speaker 1>You know, this was more backlash than backlash, brock Lesner

<v Speaker 1>one on one with Oba Femi. The fans sang Lesner

<v Speaker 1>to the ring, and again his song has no lyrics,

<v Speaker 1>but they sang him to the ring. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>that I've ever heard brock Lesnar being sung down to

<v Speaker 1>the ring before. They were even louder barking for Oba.

<v Speaker 1>I like how the announcer they just laid out and

<v Speaker 1>they just let the crowd reaction speak for itself. These

<v Speaker 1>people were going nuts. He got a superstar reaction coming

<v Speaker 1>down to the ring. So we got the big title

<v Speaker 1>match intros even though there was no title on the

<v Speaker 1>line here. I don't even think they gave that to

<v Speaker 1>the main event now that I think about it, right,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think they did the traditional in ring title

<v Speaker 1>match intros for Roman and Jacob as far as I

<v Speaker 1>can remember, but they did it here for Brock and Oba.

<v Speaker 1>So Lesner rushed Oba in the corner before the bell

<v Speaker 1>even rang, so just right out of the gate, were

<v Speaker 1>off to the races. Here hot start to this. Brock's

<v Speaker 1>trying to put this to bed early. He remembers what

<v Speaker 1>happened to WrestleMania. Immediately he hoists Oba up onto his

<v Speaker 1>shoulders f five, then another one, then a third one,

<v Speaker 1>and then a fourth one. And this is all in

<v Speaker 1>the opening thirty seconds of the match. Four f fives,

<v Speaker 1>which is what he put him down with on Raw

<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago. And he covered Oba, and Oba

<v Speaker 1>kicked out. And I'm sure there were people watching this

<v Speaker 1>who had a freaking heart attack watching this, thinking they're

<v Speaker 1>tell me they're not going to do this. Can you

<v Speaker 1>can you imagine? Yeah? The sad thing is I can,

<v Speaker 1>But I was gonna say, can you imagine the uproar

<v Speaker 1>if in the first thirty seconds of this match, four

<v Speaker 1>f fives and he pins Oba Femi? Remember that sign

<v Speaker 1>from one night's stand of Sino wins we riots? Have

<v Speaker 1>you ever seen an online riot before? You would have? Oh,

<v Speaker 1>you would have if that would have happened. So Oba

<v Speaker 1>he struggled to his feet, and Brock he leapt up.

<v Speaker 1>He jumped up and he locked down the Kimora lock

<v Speaker 1>and he takes Oba down to the mat with it.

<v Speaker 1>He's gonna break this fucking guy's arm. Then, Oba, though,

<v Speaker 1>with one arm, he powers Brock up to his feet.

<v Speaker 1>He slams him down, he breaks the hold. Brock, though,

<v Speaker 1>got the hold and reapplied. Oba forced him backwards into

<v Speaker 1>the corner to break it again. So Oba went for

<v Speaker 1>a choke slam. Brock, though, he fights out of it,

<v Speaker 1>and he fights out of it into a fifth F

<v Speaker 1>five and he covers him and Oba kicks out again,

<v Speaker 1>and we got another F five at ten, but this

<v Speaker 1>time Oba slipped out. He went for a choke slam

<v Speaker 1>with his one good arm, and unfortunately Brock jumped a

<v Speaker 1>little too soon, so it didn't look great. But he

<v Speaker 1>still kind of sort of got a choke slam, just

<v Speaker 1>not a great one, didn't get the full impact on it,

<v Speaker 1>and he covered him anyway, and Brock kicked out, so

<v Speaker 1>Oba clothesline Brock out of the ring. He took himself

<v Speaker 1>out over the top rope because of all the momentum.

<v Speaker 1>The momentum took him over to the floor as well.

<v Speaker 1>Oba's pissed and he rips off the lid of the

<v Speaker 1>Italian announced desk. Brock sends him into the ring post.

<v Speaker 1>They'll face first, so Brock locks the Kamora lock on again.

<v Speaker 1>Oba smashes him backwards into the post to break the hold.

<v Speaker 1>Oba was going to choke slam him through the table.

<v Speaker 1>Brock slipped out. He picked him up. He delivered an

<v Speaker 1>F five through the announced desk. That is number six, F five,

<v Speaker 1>number six. So Lesner gets back into the ring and

<v Speaker 1>he's celebrating what he thinks is going to be a

<v Speaker 1>count out win, right. He'll take it anyway he can

<v Speaker 1>get it, and he's instructing the referee to begin his count.

<v Speaker 1>Chad Patten lays the count on. Referee gets up to

<v Speaker 1>six and Oba there's no struggling to his feet. He

<v Speaker 1>just pops back up to his feet and he slides

<v Speaker 1>back into the ring. Brock has this look on his

<v Speaker 1>face like he's all shocked. Oba charges in with a

<v Speaker 1>running upper cut, a second running upper cut, a third

<v Speaker 1>running upper cut. He lifts up like he does with

<v Speaker 1>all of his other opponents, and he just flings him

<v Speaker 1>across the ring. Fucking beals him halfway across the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and then he popped Lesner up onto his shoulders in

<v Speaker 1>a power bomb position. He is going for the fall

<v Speaker 1>from grace and as he goes to lift up Brock

<v Speaker 1>to finish the move, Brock slips out. He lands on

<v Speaker 1>his feet and he hoists up Oba again for a

<v Speaker 1>seventh F five hooks the leg and he pins Oba

<v Speaker 1>Femi six minutes a little over six minutes or so

<v Speaker 1>into this match, so they did go longer than WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>but again not by much. The six minutes that we

<v Speaker 1>got here, though, I think was excellent. After the match

<v Speaker 1>is over, Brock is outside the ring. He's staring down Oba,

<v Speaker 1>who's on the mat holding his arm. He's selling, and

<v Speaker 1>Brock looks at him and he says, is what he said?

<v Speaker 1>He goes one plus one. You're done, bitch. I just

<v Speaker 1>thought to myself, Well, they don't pay him to do math.

<v Speaker 1>They don't pay him to do math. What can I say? Look,

<v Speaker 1>this was NonStop action. I'll talk about the good stuff.

<v Speaker 1>This was NonStop action from start to finish. And they

<v Speaker 1>topped the F five count on Roman reigns from WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>thirty four. If you remember that terrible fucking main event,

<v Speaker 1>I do. I remember, and I was there when they

<v Speaker 1>wrestled to WrestleMania thirty four, it took six f fives

<v Speaker 1>in a shitty match for Brock to beat Roman. This

<v Speaker 1>was not shitty, but he topped the WrestleMania total. So

<v Speaker 1>it took seven to put down Oba Femi here, this

<v Speaker 1>was an excellent match. They knew that they were beating Oba,

<v Speaker 1>and so they said, well, if we're gonna beat this guy,

<v Speaker 1>what can we do to try to keep him looking strong.

<v Speaker 1>I know, we'll just do what We'll spam Brocks finish

<v Speaker 1>her over and over again. He'll keep kicking out after

<v Speaker 1>the seventh one right, that'll be one two many, and

<v Speaker 1>the Camorra Locke, he'll fight out of the Camora lock

<v Speaker 1>three or four times. So they did a whole bunch

<v Speaker 1>of stuff to try to keep you know, Oba looking strong.

<v Speaker 1>And they wanted him to still come out of this

<v Speaker 1>looking like a world beater, except by doing the one

<v Speaker 1>thing that really would have made him look like a

<v Speaker 1>world beater, which is, you know, not beating him. But

<v Speaker 1>if they were going to beat him, at least they

<v Speaker 1>tried to protect him. I maintain what I said coming

<v Speaker 1>into this show. As much as I like the match,

<v Speaker 1>I thought the match again was very good. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think Obafemi should have lost this match. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>Olba Femi had to lose this match. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>Obafemi should have lost this match, and you would have

<v Speaker 1>made more of a statement and I think shocked more people,

<v Speaker 1>frankly by having Broco in there and lose again, because

<v Speaker 1>most people coming into this probably expected that Brock was

<v Speaker 1>going to get his win back, and so that's exactly

<v Speaker 1>what they did. They followed the formula, They followed the

<v Speaker 1>typical blueprint. They want to get to a third match, well,

<v Speaker 1>you gotta have one guy win, you gotta have the

<v Speaker 1>other guy win. And I just think there was a

<v Speaker 1>story there to tell where you know, you didn't have

<v Speaker 1>to do that, and look in the end, Oba is

<v Speaker 1>gonna be fine. We'll get the third one at SummerSlam,

<v Speaker 1>probably with a stipulation, you know, whether whether Brock puts

<v Speaker 1>his career on the line this time or not. And again,

<v Speaker 1>most people won't believe it anyway, because they just I mean,

<v Speaker 1>they just screwed you over a few weeks ago. If

<v Speaker 1>you were one of those people that bought into the

<v Speaker 1>idea that Brock really was retired, they just basically said

<v Speaker 1>fuck you. So for them to turn around and say, well,

<v Speaker 1>this time we really mean it, it's like, yeah, fuck off.

<v Speaker 1>But you can add another stipulation, like, you know, last

<v Speaker 1>man standing. Brock had a great last man standing match

<v Speaker 1>at SummerSlam a few years ago at Roman Reigns right,

<v Speaker 1>so I would anticipate there being some sort of of

<v Speaker 1>stipulation when they have their third match, except you got

<v Speaker 1>to leave open the possibility that maybe there won't be

<v Speaker 1>a third match at Summer Slam because Oba Femi is

<v Speaker 1>in the King of the Ring tournament. Now, Obafemi being

<v Speaker 1>in the King of the Ring tournament in a four

<v Speaker 1>way match means that he can lose without really losing.

<v Speaker 1>Somebody else could take the losing fall instead of Oba.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure people are going to look at this and go, well,

<v Speaker 1>you could always have Brock Lesner interfere. He could fuck

<v Speaker 1>Oba Femi over, he could cost him his opening round

<v Speaker 1>match and the King of the Ring tournament. Boy, that

<v Speaker 1>would put some real heat on that match. Except one thing.

<v Speaker 1>There's one flawed little thing I have to point out

<v Speaker 1>with that, which is that if that's the case, and

<v Speaker 1>if we see Brockolesner involve himself in Oba Femi's opening

<v Speaker 1>round match in the King of the Ring tournament. Would

<v Speaker 1>it not have made more sense than to have Oba

<v Speaker 1>win here to give Brock the incentive to want to

<v Speaker 1>do something, to really stick it to this guy. Just

<v Speaker 1>just picture it. Picture Brockolesner losing again tonight, and now

<v Speaker 1>he is just beside himself because he cannot believe that

<v Speaker 1>he lost again to this man. Leave it, it's never

<v Speaker 1>been done. Now he doesn't know what to do. The

<v Speaker 1>whole reason he came back is because he said, I

<v Speaker 1>can't go out like that. I cannot allow myself to

<v Speaker 1>go out like that. Now he just lost for a

<v Speaker 1>second time. What the fuck am I gonna do? I

<v Speaker 1>know this guy thinks he's gonna be challenging for the

<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslim and by the way, so

<v Speaker 1>does everybody else. I know. I'll get involved and I'll

<v Speaker 1>fuck him over. That'll teach him, and then he'll really

<v Speaker 1>have a reason to want to get his hands on me.

<v Speaker 1>And Obafemi will be I mean, he'll be a man

<v Speaker 1>possessed coming out of that match. Man, he will want

<v Speaker 1>to kill Brock. By the way, he said he was

<v Speaker 1>coming to Italy to kill Brock. He failed, he didn't

<v Speaker 1>do that. But see, but that's my thing. If that

<v Speaker 1>ends up happening, I'm gonna look back at this and

<v Speaker 1>go see, see it would make It would have made

<v Speaker 1>more sense than for Oba to win. Now, we don't know.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe Brock is not gonna get involved, it is can't

<v Speaker 1>get the ring match. Maybe OPA's gonna win the opening

<v Speaker 1>round match and he'll get fucked out of it in

<v Speaker 1>the semi finals or the finals. I you know, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I'm just saying if that, if that

<v Speaker 1>that is what they end up doing, I'm just gonna

<v Speaker 1>look back. I want you all to look back at this,

<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna fucking laugh. We're just gonna laugh because

<v Speaker 1>it just would have made so much more sense to

<v Speaker 1>have a different outcome here in this match, if that's

<v Speaker 1>the case. But Oba, here in this match, he got

<v Speaker 1>tossed around for like seventy five percent of it. The

<v Speaker 1>guy is so over right now that one loss is

<v Speaker 1>not gonna sour him, you know, on the audience. It's

<v Speaker 1>not like he's buried or anything like that. But honestly,

<v Speaker 1>a lot of what happens from here on out is

<v Speaker 1>going to depend on what they do with him coming

<v Speaker 1>out of this show. I said, like he told Paul

<v Speaker 1>Hayman our role last week at WrestleMania, I wanted to

<v Speaker 1>beat Brock. Now I have to kill Brock and he

<v Speaker 1>didn't do that. Now we get to find out, like

<v Speaker 1>what this guy is really made of. He's lost, he's

<v Speaker 1>been embarrassed. How does he respond to that, because he

<v Speaker 1>certainly shouldn't be strutting out to the ring on Raw tomorrow.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see him strut if he comes out,

<v Speaker 1>if he wrestles on Raw tomorrow night, he'd better not

<v Speaker 1>be strutting on his way down to the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>should be mad coming out of this because he said

<v Speaker 1>he was going to go in there and he was

<v Speaker 1>going to kill him, and he failed and he didn't

<v Speaker 1>do it. So let's see how he responds to that.

<v Speaker 1>That's gonna be the key question now coming out of

<v Speaker 1>this match. That they show a bron Breaker and Austin

<v Speaker 1>Thory sitting in the crowd with their Raw tag team titles.

<v Speaker 1>They showed Julia sitting in the crowd. She got a

<v Speaker 1>nice reaction. She waved, Hi, Hi, everybody wish I were wrestling,

<v Speaker 1>But at least, I'm happy to be here. They have

<v Speaker 1>to at least give her a match on Friday, SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>is in Italy. Can we find something for this woman

<v Speaker 1>to do in the ring place? Can we put her

<v Speaker 1>in there with somebody, doesn't matter who, Just get her

<v Speaker 1>a match. She actually is in one of the opening

<v Speaker 1>round Queen of the Ring matches. Maybe they'll have her

<v Speaker 1>Queen of the Ring match on smack Down this week.

<v Speaker 1>But then she would be nice if she won. But

<v Speaker 1>I think her and EO Sky are in the same match.

<v Speaker 1>You give me the choice. EO's got to go over there.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I'm sorry to Julia, but I can't vote

<v Speaker 1>against EO. And they showed the director of Authority for

<v Speaker 1>TNA Wrestling, Yes, Santino Morella. They flew him all the

<v Speaker 1>way to make a quick cameo in Italy, which is

<v Speaker 1>where he won his first match. Actually on Raw he

<v Speaker 1>won the Intercontinental title. I think they were in Milan

<v Speaker 1>now they were in turn. Then they aired a recap

<v Speaker 1>of the Mask versus Mask match at the Triple A

<v Speaker 1>show last night, which was tremendous. I tweeted about it

<v Speaker 1>last night during the show, I'm going to save my

<v Speaker 1>full thoughts on the map. I have a lot to

<v Speaker 1>say about this match, and I'm gonna save my thoughts

<v Speaker 1>on that for the Uncrowned Wrestling show on Tuesday. I

<v Speaker 1>think I'm gonna open the show with it right off

<v Speaker 1>the top. We're gonna get into the Triple A show

<v Speaker 1>in the Triple A main event, and so I'll save

<v Speaker 1>my full thoughts and review for that, So you'll definitely

<v Speaker 1>want to tune in for that. That'll be on Tuesday.

<v Speaker 1>We have Becky Lynch against Soul Ruka for the Women's

<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental Championship. You know, you would think at this point

<v Speaker 1>that management they wouldn't put Jessica Carr in these matches

<v Speaker 1>with Becky Lynch, Right, there's always something that happens, something

<v Speaker 1>that goes wrong, there's some sort of controversy, something always happens,

<v Speaker 1>and yet she's always the referee, which makes me think

<v Speaker 1>that maybe Becky is not wrong and maybe there really

<v Speaker 1>is some sort of conspiracy here against her. So Ruka,

<v Speaker 1>who's had a rough month, right, she botched the Soul

<v Speaker 1>Snatcher and she's zero for two, and she won her

<v Speaker 1>first match, but it was some lame dq finish. She

<v Speaker 1>hasn't had a great month, so they needed this or

<v Speaker 1>she needed this right, They needed this for her. She

<v Speaker 1>had to go in there tonight and have a great

<v Speaker 1>match and come out with a w Seul tried to

<v Speaker 1>springboard off the ropes early on. Becky, though tripped her up,

<v Speaker 1>so Becky went up top. This was actually the funniest

<v Speaker 1>part of the entire match, because Soul's down on the

<v Speaker 1>mat and the camera pulls away from her and they

<v Speaker 1>show Becky on top, and Becky starts screaming, other way,

<v Speaker 1>other way. She's four times she said this other way,

<v Speaker 1>other way, other way, other way. I guess Soul was

<v Speaker 1>not laying in the right position, and once she was

<v Speaker 1>in the correct position, Becky did her top rope leg drop.

<v Speaker 1>Soul went for a soul snatcher not long after this,

<v Speaker 1>but as she came down, she landed right into an

<v Speaker 1>arm bar by Becky that looked good. Becky caught her.

<v Speaker 1>Ruka countered out into a cross face, Becky escaped, Lynch

<v Speaker 1>took Ruka up top. Soul though hit Becky with a

<v Speaker 1>top broke diving X factor. Ruca went back up top

<v Speaker 1>and at that point Becky shoved the referee into the ropes,

<v Speaker 1>which caused Soul to lose her balance and she fell

<v Speaker 1>and she crotched herself. So Becky landed a super plex.

<v Speaker 1>She went for a DDT Soul though was able to

<v Speaker 1>avoid it. Becky rolled out to the floor. And so

<v Speaker 1>after Becky's on the floor, Soul is going to do

<v Speaker 1>a dive out of the ring. And so she pulled

<v Speaker 1>out the old tiger mask special here the space flying

<v Speaker 1>Tiger drop. But she actually landed a little bit short,

<v Speaker 1>and so she didn't really hit Becky all that much.

<v Speaker 1>Becky sold it anyway. She went down Ruca, though she

<v Speaker 1>springboarded back into the ring once Becky was back inside.

<v Speaker 1>So here comes Soul. She springboards in but right into

<v Speaker 1>a manhandle slam and only got a near fall out

<v Speaker 1>of it. Then it was Becky teasing a soul snatcher.

<v Speaker 1>And I will tell you that I would pay good

<v Speaker 1>money to see Becky Lynch hit a picture perfect soul snatcher.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much, probably maybe not more than

<v Speaker 1>like ten or eleven dollars, but I would pay. I

<v Speaker 1>would pay to see Becky Lynch try to hit a

<v Speaker 1>soul snatcher, just flush. That would be something. Ruka the

<v Speaker 1>caught her with a man handle slam of her own,

<v Speaker 1>only for a two count. Becky went for another man

<v Speaker 1>handle slam Soul, though jumped onto the middle rope. She

<v Speaker 1>hit the soul snatcher perfect covered her, got the win

<v Speaker 1>and snags her first championship here on the main roster.

<v Speaker 1>So Becky Lynch is not only now the longest raining

<v Speaker 1>women's Intercontinental champion of all time, she is now officially

<v Speaker 1>the shortest raining women's intercontinental champion of all time. Congratulations,

<v Speaker 1>she now owns both records. I'm just glad that Soul

<v Speaker 1>hit the soul snat at her perfectly this time. I

<v Speaker 1>was starting to really feel bad for her because there

<v Speaker 1>were a couple of times where even in their last match,

<v Speaker 1>you know, things didn't go quite the way they wanted

<v Speaker 1>it to go. It didn't look good. So I was

<v Speaker 1>happy that she hit it perfectly here and they had

<v Speaker 1>a very good match and Soul look, I would not

<v Speaker 1>have put the belt on her now. I think it's

<v Speaker 1>too early. I think you build to it a few

<v Speaker 1>more months. Right, wouldn't have killed you. But they had

<v Speaker 1>no choice. Everything they did up to this point, it

<v Speaker 1>didn't make Soul look very good. And you have Becky

<v Speaker 1>on television mocking her and making fun of her for

<v Speaker 1>being winless. Oh, you should go back down to NXT.

<v Speaker 1>You imagine if this girl went in there and lost again,

<v Speaker 1>like what a fucking loser, she would look like she

<v Speaker 1>had to win. They had no choice, They had no

<v Speaker 1>choice but to put the championship on her here, and

<v Speaker 1>the crowd in turn went crazy for it, and they

<v Speaker 1>reacted big to it, and so it was a nice

<v Speaker 1>moment for her to have. But yeah, if she would

<v Speaker 1>have lost this match, hmmm, that would have looked bad.

<v Speaker 1>So Ruka gets in the win column and now I

<v Speaker 1>guess we wait to see if they run it back

<v Speaker 1>one more time, which I really don't think is needed.

<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what we need. There's a lot of

<v Speaker 1>things we need. Okay, we need a proper rival for

<v Speaker 1>the women's World champion on Monday Night Raw is what

<v Speaker 1>we need. But what we also need is some sort

<v Speaker 1>of payoff between Becky Lynch and Jessica Carr. I don't

<v Speaker 1>see how we don't end up getting a match between

<v Speaker 1>these two. But how much longer are they going to

<v Speaker 1>drag this out for? How many matches? Now? Is this? Okay?

<v Speaker 1>More than the number of fingers I have on this hand.

<v Speaker 1>It has to be maybe two where there's been some

<v Speaker 1>sort of issue in a Becky Lynch match because Jessica

<v Speaker 1>Carr has been the referee. Jessica Carr either oh, she

<v Speaker 1>cheated or she screwed me, or Jessica Carr took a bump.

<v Speaker 1>How many fucking times have we seen this goes back

<v Speaker 1>to last year? At what point do we get a

<v Speaker 1>payoff between these two? Just put them in the ring

<v Speaker 1>and have a match, Like, we have to be getting

<v Speaker 1>this match soon. How many more times are we going

<v Speaker 1>to get this again? They like, this is one of

<v Speaker 1>the problems right now with WWE. There are certain things

<v Speaker 1>they do and they keep doing it, and they do

<v Speaker 1>it and they do it and they do it and

<v Speaker 1>they do it until you're fucking blue in the face,

<v Speaker 1>and it's like, why are we still doing this? When

<v Speaker 1>are we going to get past this? When are we

<v Speaker 1>going to pay this off? So hopefully that'll happen soon.

<v Speaker 1>We don't need to see Becky Lynch in soul ruke again.

<v Speaker 1>We need to see Becky Lynch against Jessica Carr so

<v Speaker 1>they could get it all out of their system and

<v Speaker 1>we can move on from here. The main event was

<v Speaker 1>tribal combat. John says, I have not seen her wrestle.

<v Speaker 1>Is she any good? I think I vaguely remember seeing

<v Speaker 1>her wrestle. Yeah, I mean she's a good wrestler. Again,

<v Speaker 1>one of the evolved tapings not that long ago, she

<v Speaker 1>wrestled under a mask. I forgot what her name was,

<v Speaker 1>but yeah, Jessica. As many referees are or have been,

<v Speaker 1>Jessica's a trained wrestler, so to do one match, she

<v Speaker 1>could totally do it. But the main event was Remember

<v Speaker 1>they were gonna I guess they weren't going to, but

<v Speaker 1>I think Thunderosa many years ago reached out to them

<v Speaker 1>about potentially coming into referee. He had a lot of

<v Speaker 1>referees who either were wrestlers or they at least have

<v Speaker 1>gone through the training to be a wrestler. It's not

<v Speaker 1>like they don't know what they're doing in there. The

<v Speaker 1>main event was tribal combat for the World Heavyweight Championship.

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns defending against Jacob Fatu. The only way to

<v Speaker 1>win is by pinfall or submission only, and he appears, Wow, hey, Barry,

<v Speaker 1>what's going on? The only way to win in tribal

<v Speaker 1>combat pinfall or submission. If fau wins the time Roman

<v Speaker 1>reigns will surrender the Ula falla ooh. But if Roman retains,

<v Speaker 1>Fatu will have to serve him as his tribal chief,

<v Speaker 1>whatever the hell that means. Now. Fatu hurt himself the

<v Speaker 1>other night in Liverpool, and there was some question about

<v Speaker 1>it was a back injury, and there was some question

<v Speaker 1>about whether or not he'd be ready to go. And

<v Speaker 1>I said it the other day, like you'd have to

<v Speaker 1>kill this man, Like this man would have to be

<v Speaker 1>incapable of standing up on his own two feet. It

<v Speaker 1>would like it would have to be like the worst

<v Speaker 1>case of sciatica pain that you could possibly imagine for

<v Speaker 1>this man not to be in that ring for this match.

<v Speaker 1>But evidently, and I think it was a false finish,

<v Speaker 1>HQ that reported that one of the ideas discussed as

<v Speaker 1>a potential pivot if Fatu was not able to go

<v Speaker 1>in this match was to put Drew McIntyre in there.

<v Speaker 1>Thankfully though it didn't come to that, and so they

<v Speaker 1>didn't have to do that. Not much of a reaction

<v Speaker 1>for Fatu coming out, but they were singing to Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reign from the moment his music hit and the moment

<v Speaker 1>he came out to the ring and he's got some

<v Speaker 1>Italian roots himself, his mom. His mom is Italian Italian American.

<v Speaker 1>After some we got some graps to start things off

<v Speaker 1>here in tribal combat. After that, they ended up in

<v Speaker 1>the crowd and they had a like a concession stand,

<v Speaker 1>just like a random concession stand, and there were no

<v Speaker 1>fans there, but it's in the in the crowd on

<v Speaker 1>the lower level, and Roman started tossing free bags of

<v Speaker 1>candy out to the crowd, trying to buy crowd support

<v Speaker 1>by tossing candies to the fans. So they fought back

<v Speaker 1>down to ringside. They were chanting tables. Roman pulled one

<v Speaker 1>out and fought to cut him off. Roman made a

<v Speaker 1>quick comeback though he slid the slim gym table into

<v Speaker 1>the ring, but he was taking his sweet ass time

<v Speaker 1>in doing so. That allowed Fat too. I was wondering,

<v Speaker 1>what's he taken so long for? He literally just like

<v Speaker 1>slid the table in and it was like right in

<v Speaker 1>the corner still and he's just standing there. I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>what is he What's he waiting for? And so evidently

<v Speaker 1>what he was waiting for was for fought two to

<v Speaker 1>send him into the ring. Steps, which Fought to then

<v Speaker 1>placed inside the ring. Crowd got real quiet here. I

<v Speaker 1>mean again, this was a hot crowd for pretty much

<v Speaker 1>the entire night, and this was the first of several

<v Speaker 1>points during this match where they got very very quiet

<v Speaker 1>and things were moving very very slow, very sluggish. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. Maybe part of it had to do with

<v Speaker 1>the fact that Jacob really was hurt and he was

<v Speaker 1>kind of pacing himself, or it could just be that,

<v Speaker 1>you know, it's they knew they were going a certain

<v Speaker 1>amount of time and so they were just slowing things down.

<v Speaker 1>But it got kind of boring here. Roman in the ring,

<v Speaker 1>he picked up the steps and he tossed them outside.

<v Speaker 1>He hit Fought two right in the head with them.

<v Speaker 1>Then Roman delivered a drive by knock Fought Two backwards

<v Speaker 1>into the ring. Post back inside, Roman set up for

<v Speaker 1>a Superman punch. Jacob ducked it. He went to work

<v Speaker 1>on him running hip attack in the corner, and he

<v Speaker 1>popped Roman up. I guess he was going for the

<v Speaker 1>Samoan drop, but on the way down Roman caught him

<v Speaker 1>with a superman punch and so Roman got a near

<v Speaker 1>fall out of it. Now Roman set up for a

<v Speaker 1>spear too, met him with a superkick instead, and then

<v Speaker 1>the dreaded Tonguan death grip. The Tonguan death grip a

<v Speaker 1>move so deadly, so lethal that he has yet to

<v Speaker 1>win a match with it, but he got it applied

<v Speaker 1>here on Roman reigns and Jacob sent him out backwards

<v Speaker 1>over the top rope, and then when Jacob tried to dive,

<v Speaker 1>Roman cut him off with another Superman punch in the

<v Speaker 1>ropes and Jacob sort of flopped out of the ring

<v Speaker 1>and crumbled to the floor. Roman pulled a toolbox out

<v Speaker 1>from under the ring and he started smashing Fatu's death

<v Speaker 1>grip hand with it, and he's shouting, you can't do

<v Speaker 1>shit with that, now, can you. So again he smashed

<v Speaker 1>the hand with the toolbox, and again the crowd got

<v Speaker 1>real quiet. At this point, Roman propped the slim Gym

<v Speaker 1>table up in the corner in the ring, which I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I know these are the tables they use all the time,

<v Speaker 1>but still have fucking we got tribal combat here, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at two giant slim Gym logos propped up

<v Speaker 1>at the quarter of the ray like this is just

<v Speaker 1>fucking ridiculous. So he sat up for a spear. Fatu, though,

<v Speaker 1>ended up crushing him in the corner, and so Fa

<v Speaker 1>two was getting a second wind. Roman spelled outside over

<v Speaker 1>by the timekeeper's barricade, and fat Tou sees this and

<v Speaker 1>he gets that little twinkle in his eye. Oh, they're

<v Speaker 1>by the timekeeper's barricades. You know what's coming up next.

<v Speaker 1>So Jacob rolls out to the floor and he's in

<v Speaker 1>the aisleway like he's gonna get a real like running

<v Speaker 1>head start here, and he makes a mad dash. He comes,

<v Speaker 1>he circles the bend, but before he could even get

<v Speaker 1>to Roman by the barricade, Roman catches him with a

<v Speaker 1>superman bunch. Roman then speared fought too through the barricade,

<v Speaker 1>but not that barricade. He speared him through the regular barricade,

<v Speaker 1>and there were two security guys sitting on the other

<v Speaker 1>side of it and they got crushed underneath the barricade,

<v Speaker 1>so that was different. Back inside, we got the the

<v Speaker 1>ooh ah. And then Roman went and hit the spear

<v Speaker 1>at least once. When you do a review of a

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns match, you gotta do you gotta do the

<v Speaker 1>the ooh ah. You gotta do it, or you could

<v Speaker 1>do it the way that al Pacino did in sent

<v Speaker 1>of a Woman and go whoah, could do that too,

<v Speaker 1>that's actually funnier. I think Roman should start doing that

<v Speaker 1>in his matches. He should just go ooh ah and

<v Speaker 1>then just hit the spear. Jacob kicked out, so Roman

<v Speaker 1>starts talking, shit, you think I need the buckle? Right,

<v Speaker 1>he's referencing the way that he ended up beating Jacob

<v Speaker 1>a backlash because Jacob ended up going face first into

<v Speaker 1>the exposed buckle. So he goes and he rips three

<v Speaker 1>of the four top turn buckle pads off. The only

<v Speaker 1>one that he didn't rip off is the one that

<v Speaker 1>was hidden in the other corner behind the slim gym table.

<v Speaker 1>So another fucking superman punch. I lost track of how

<v Speaker 1>many we got here in this match. At least half

<v Speaker 1>a dozen Superman punch. Jacob no sells it. Roman started

<v Speaker 1>ramming him into the exposed buckles and again he's got

<v Speaker 1>the hard Samoan head, so that didn't really do anything.

<v Speaker 1>And he catches Roman with a spear of his own,

<v Speaker 1>and he goes for the pin and Jacob kicks out,

<v Speaker 1>so FA two, He's going to go for the Mighty

<v Speaker 1>Moon Salt. Roman though rolled out of the way. Fatu

<v Speaker 1>did a belly flop on the landing spear attempt. Jacob, though,

<v Speaker 1>popped him up into a Samoan drop, and this time

<v Speaker 1>he goes for the Mighty Moon Salt and it connects

<v Speaker 1>and Corey Graves and I knew that this was not

<v Speaker 1>going to be the end of the match. Do you

<v Speaker 1>know how I knew that, because as soon as Jacob

<v Speaker 1>landed the Mighty Moon Salt, I had to listen to

<v Speaker 1>Corey Graves go, We're gonna have a new champion. We

<v Speaker 1>got a new champion, which of course means we don't

<v Speaker 1>have a new champion, and we didn't have a new champion.

<v Speaker 1>And Roman kicked out, but in getting the arm up

<v Speaker 1>on the kickout, Roman delivered a low blow. Now was

<v Speaker 1>that unintentional? Was that on purpose? Not the first time

<v Speaker 1>we've seen Roman Reigns do that in a match, and

<v Speaker 1>it would be legal anyway. It doesn't really matter because

<v Speaker 1>it's tribal combat. But you could rip the other guy's

<v Speaker 1>nuts off with your bare hands. It's notice qualification. So

<v Speaker 1>the tongue in death grip is applied and Roman starts

<v Speaker 1>ramming him headfirst over and over into the exposed buckle

<v Speaker 1>and then he spears fat to through the slim gym table.

<v Speaker 1>He snapped into it, but Fought two was back up

<v Speaker 1>on his feet pretty quickly. Roman then gave him one

<v Speaker 1>spear and that's all it took, and he got the

<v Speaker 1>pin to retain the World Heavyweight championship. And if that

<v Speaker 1>wasn't bad enough, right, we just saw Jacob fa Tu

<v Speaker 1>drop two straight to Roman reigns in the span of

<v Speaker 1>one of less than a month. Backlash was only a

<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago. As if that wasn't bad enough, we

<v Speaker 1>have Michael Cole on commentary hit us with this line

<v Speaker 1>just to shovel some more dirt on the poor guy.

<v Speaker 1>The Samoan were wolf has been neutered and domesticated. Amazing,

<v Speaker 1>he has been neutered. He just dropped too straight and

<v Speaker 1>now he has to be the man's basically man servant.

<v Speaker 1>He was neutered, He was neutered and domesticated. So the

<v Speaker 1>ussos hit the ring. They placed I think Jay placed

<v Speaker 1>the ulafalla around Roman's neck. Michael Cole said, now we

<v Speaker 1>turn ours to Monday Night Raw where Fought too will

<v Speaker 1>have to honor Roman as his tribal chief. Roman was

<v Speaker 1>just a total heel here acting like a total heel,

<v Speaker 1>looking down at FOT two, talking all kinds of shit,

<v Speaker 1>you know, as he was leaving, all of a sudden,

<v Speaker 1>they cut to a shot of the crowd, and who

<v Speaker 1>do we see in the crowd The fucking MFTs. We

<v Speaker 1>see Solo so CoA, we see Tomatanga, and we see

<v Speaker 1>Talatanga because that's all that's left of the MFTs. There's

<v Speaker 1>no more Tonga Loa, and there's no more j. C. Mitteio,

<v Speaker 1>but the fucking MFTs. And Solo is looking over he's

<v Speaker 1>judging Jacob. He's shaking his head again, like a disappointed dad,

<v Speaker 1>shaking his head in disappointment. He wasn't the only one.

<v Speaker 1>And Jacob was staring back at Solo, probably pondering some

<v Speaker 1>of his life choices Roman as he was leaving, and

<v Speaker 1>he spotted the MFTs. He's basically, in so many words,

<v Speaker 1>he said they're next. He's like looking at the Usso's going, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they're next. And I'm like, oh my god, oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>please no, please, I can't. I can't do this anymore. No,

<v Speaker 1>we can't. We can't. We can't be going back to this.

<v Speaker 1>We can't be going back to this bloodline civil war stuff.

<v Speaker 1>I just with a group that's more dead than whoever

<v Speaker 1>is laying under that fucking tarp in Dan Hausen's lab.

<v Speaker 1>Are we really going back to this now? On the

<v Speaker 1>post show, Roman cut a promo he acknowledged guys like

<v Speaker 1>la Night and Royce Keys. I guess as he specifically

<v Speaker 1>name drop those two guys, I guess name I mean

<v Speaker 1>potential challengers for his championship. All Walfa too stood behind

<v Speaker 1>him in the background and he was just staring a

<v Speaker 1>hole right through him. I should also mention that Roman

<v Speaker 1>was as he was walking to the back before the

<v Speaker 1>show went off the air. This is what I mentioned

<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the review. He was again just

<v Speaker 1>talking all kinds of shit, and he goes, now they

<v Speaker 1>know who the head of the table is. Who the

<v Speaker 1>captain of the ship is. QB One? Fuck that noise,

<v Speaker 1>it's the tribal chief. So on the post show, QB

<v Speaker 1>One himself, Cody Rhodes was on set with Biggie and

<v Speaker 1>Joe Test was there and they had to fill him

<v Speaker 1>in on what Roman had said, and they wanted his response.

<v Speaker 1>So this is what Cody said, said, I think it's

<v Speaker 1>a unique position for me to be in, for me

<v Speaker 1>to say something negative or for him to say something

<v Speaker 1>negative about me, for the simple fact that he doesn't

<v Speaker 1>have two wins over me. I don't have two wins

<v Speaker 1>over him. He beat me once, I beat his ass once,

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know add him to the list. We said,

<v Speaker 1>Gunther can get a rematch whenever he wants it, come

<v Speaker 1>and get it, easy to find, hard to beat. That

<v Speaker 1>goes for Roman Reigns as well. And then the two

<v Speaker 1>of them ran into each other in the backstage area

<v Speaker 1>for ten seconds. They had a tense maybe not even

<v Speaker 1>ten seconds, and they had like a tense little stare

<v Speaker 1>down and then Cody kept walking and Roman just kind

<v Speaker 1>of laughed and then he kept walking. So they're definitely

<v Speaker 1>teasing a third match here between Roman and Cody. Is

<v Speaker 1>that going to be a Crown Jewel match? Are we

<v Speaker 1>even getting a Crown Jewel later this year? Because usually

<v Speaker 1>it's the top champions wrestling each other. I still find

<v Speaker 1>it hard to believe that both these guys are going

<v Speaker 1>to beat champions. Let's say in the fall. Roman remember

<v Speaker 1>what Roman said coming out of wrestle Mania after he

<v Speaker 1>beat Punk, He goes, he got me through the summer, okay,

<v Speaker 1>which is code for I'm losing at Summerslap. So I

<v Speaker 1>doubt very seriously that like in September October, Roman's still

<v Speaker 1>gonna be the world champion. I mean, anything's possible. So

<v Speaker 1>I don't know about Crown Jewel, but like, could this

<v Speaker 1>be the wrestle Media match next year? Are they clinging

<v Speaker 1>to hope that maybe the Rock is going to wrestle

<v Speaker 1>Roman a WrestleMania next year because the Saudis might want

<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Johnson on the show. So and there's been talked

<v Speaker 1>by the way that there were negotiations going on about

<v Speaker 1>getting him on the Wrestle Media card. I just don't

<v Speaker 1>waste any oxygen even talking about it because it's fucking pointless.

<v Speaker 1>We go through this every year. But is this one

<v Speaker 1>of the reasons maybe why they insist on continuing with

<v Speaker 1>the Bloodline stuff, because they're building towards the hope that

<v Speaker 1>maybe just maybe at the end of all this, at

<v Speaker 1>the end of the rainbow here, we're gonna get the

<v Speaker 1>big match between Roman and Rock. And I'm like, you

<v Speaker 1>know what, whether we get it or not, And it's

<v Speaker 1>one of those matches where it's like I'll believe it

<v Speaker 1>when I see it. But like, whether we get it

<v Speaker 1>or not, that doesn't mean that we have to come

<v Speaker 1>instantly be subjected to bloodline shit every single week on television.

<v Speaker 1>But this is this is where we are. This is

<v Speaker 1>how Clashing Italy went off the air, teasing a bloodline

<v Speaker 1>civil war. And the big story going into Raw tomorrow

<v Speaker 1>night is will Jacob Fatu do what he is supposed

<v Speaker 1>to do and will he acknowledge his tribal chief and

<v Speaker 1>will he serve his tribal chief or are they gonna

<v Speaker 1>shoot some kind of big angle where he just cannot

<v Speaker 1>bring himself to do it and we get some kind

<v Speaker 1>of big twist. It would be welcome, It would be welcome.

<v Speaker 1>But see, I no longer give them the benefit of

<v Speaker 1>the doubt because they don't deserve it. They don't deserve

<v Speaker 1>it because every time you think, oh, well, maybe they'll

<v Speaker 1>do this, or maybe they'll they'll surprise us and they'll

<v Speaker 1>go they'll zig instead of zag, or they'll do something

<v Speaker 1>other than what they always do, they always fall back

<v Speaker 1>on their tried and true and they always stick to

<v Speaker 1>the formula. They just they just they they're so afraid

<v Speaker 1>to take risks, you know, and they just constant play

<v Speaker 1>it safe. Triple H constantly plays it safe when it

<v Speaker 1>comes to the booking that I don't give them the

<v Speaker 1>benefit of the doubt. So sure, it'd be great if

<v Speaker 1>they made you think that this is what they're going

<v Speaker 1>to be doing and then boom they hit you between

<v Speaker 1>the eyes with something completely different. But my god, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>can you blame me for sitting here and not believing

<v Speaker 1>that that's what we're going to end up getting. I

<v Speaker 1>think this is exactly what we're going to end up getting,

<v Speaker 1>and it sucks. It sucks. Six years later, we are

<v Speaker 1>still doing this bloodline. We are still milking the cow,

<v Speaker 1>trying to extract every last little drop that we can

<v Speaker 1>out of this because we are incapable, we are incapable

<v Speaker 1>of trying to come up with an idea that could

<v Speaker 1>rival the bloodline stuff from three or four years ago.

<v Speaker 1>So we're just going to keep beating a dead horse

<v Speaker 1>here and we're going to keep going back to that. Well.

<v Speaker 1>We'll cycle in a couple of new faces every now

<v Speaker 1>and then, but you know, we got Roman who hasn't

<v Speaker 1>changed at all. By the way, Roman hasn't evolved, He

<v Speaker 1>hasn't changed. He's still a dick. The usos are backed. Basically,

<v Speaker 1>the Ussos have have devolved, They've devolved back to where

<v Speaker 1>they were a few years ago. You're a couple of lackeys.

<v Speaker 1>You know, they're Roman's boys. Jacob's a newer face, I get.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's been there for a couple of years already,

<v Speaker 1>but he's still kind of a newer face and all

<v Speaker 1>of this. But you got solo and you get it's like, like,

<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here? That's why I said, like

<v Speaker 1>it feels like we're on an infinite loop. You play

<v Speaker 1>a song on your Spotify playlist and you hit that

<v Speaker 1>button where when the song is over, it just keeps

<v Speaker 1>looping it over and over again. That's the song of

<v Speaker 1>the Bloodline. That's what we're doing here with this product,

<v Speaker 1>and everything else is a distant number two. Everything else

<v Speaker 1>just plays number two to the Bloodline stuff. So in

<v Speaker 1>a few weeks or a few months, we'll have another

<v Speaker 1>acknowledgment ceremony and there'll be another battle over the Ula Falla,

<v Speaker 1>and we'll just keep doing this until you know, we

<v Speaker 1>have gray hairs growing out of our face and it

<v Speaker 1>just gets tiring after a while. Nothing ever feels like

<v Speaker 1>it really changes. That was Clash in Italy. I put

<v Speaker 1>a pole up, and again I can't show them anymore

<v Speaker 1>because for whatever reason, I can't log in two x

<v Speaker 1>through OBS. But I will check out right now. Actually,

<v Speaker 1>what the results of the pole are thumbs up, thumbs

<v Speaker 1>in the middle, thumbs down for Clash in Italy, And

<v Speaker 1>according to you guys, thirty five point seven percent thumbs up,

<v Speaker 1>forty three percent thumbs in the middle, twenty one percent

<v Speaker 1>thumbs down. Not a great score for Clash in Italy.

<v Speaker 1>I like the mouse, says, I already have gray hairs growing. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>you know why. This is why. Because you've been watching

<v Speaker 1>the WWE product for far too long, your gray hairs

<v Speaker 1>will only get that much grayer. Actually, they might start

<v Speaker 1>falling out. That's the next step. Anyway, let's go to

<v Speaker 1>your super chats. See what you guys thought. Where is

<v Speaker 1>Raw tomorrow night? By the way, it was Raw also

<v Speaker 1>in Italy. I know SmackDown is I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>Raw is also in turn. I think it is. I

<v Speaker 1>think Raw is in Turn. Well, then good. At least

<v Speaker 1>we'll have a hot craft for Raw tomorrow night. Oh well,

<v Speaker 1>don't forget Raw two pm Eastern start on Netflix, so

<v Speaker 1>you don't need a VPN for that. It'll be two

<v Speaker 1>o'clock Eastern on Netflix. We're gonna do tomorrow what we

<v Speaker 1>did today, so I will go live at about eight

<v Speaker 1>pm Eastern. I'm not going live immediately after eight o'clock tomorrow.

<v Speaker 1>We'll bump up the raw review and we'll go live

<v Speaker 1>on YouTube. Oh, we got Nico with us. But before

<v Speaker 1>we get to Nico, we gotta go to the real CS,

<v Speaker 1>said Solo, with JR. Admitting that he had another fall

<v Speaker 1>before Double or Nothing said, my thing is, how is

<v Speaker 1>he still able to live by himself? He's been open

<v Speaker 1>about it, and it feels like no one is doing

<v Speaker 1>a thing about it. Is that just me? Well, it's

<v Speaker 1>not anybody's decision to make except his. He's a grown

<v Speaker 1>ass man. If he wants to live alone, I mentioned

<v Speaker 1>like the other day, I said, I think it's time

<v Speaker 1>for him to have a live in aid. And I

<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's something that he's considered or people

<v Speaker 1>have suggested to him, but it's his call. He doesn't

<v Speaker 1>have to do what he doesn't want to do. This

<v Speaker 1>for the super chats, got a bunch of them. Here, says,

<v Speaker 1>was gonna watch Clash in Italy in the theater, But

<v Speaker 1>I said, Nat, I'm gonna watch the stream and give

<v Speaker 1>you a bunch of superchats. Thanks as all the way. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I like that plan, I like that plane, and I

<v Speaker 1>got you all caught up on everything. Now we are.

<v Speaker 1>We are thirteen out of fifteen. By the way, on

<v Speaker 1>that bonus goal, what was the the main one? The

<v Speaker 1>main one was what five hundred and fifteen likes? Oh yeah,

<v Speaker 1>we've we blew past that. We're almost a seven fifty.

<v Speaker 1>A monu is a monu or manu? Say monu? Welcome

<v Speaker 1>to the channel, Biko says. But I'm gonna watch Obsession later.

<v Speaker 1>I think the movie will be done by the time

<v Speaker 1>the stream starts. I'll give you my non spoiler review

<v Speaker 1>in super chat for well you do that, You're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have a good time, Philip Bowman. While I do think

<v Speaker 1>one person having excess power is bad, I wanted to

<v Speaker 1>ask you objectively, how different with wweb if Tony Kahan

<v Speaker 1>actually bought it. I mean, just watch aw that'll give

<v Speaker 1>you a sense of how WWE would be. He has

<v Speaker 1>he has a you know, he has a style, he

<v Speaker 1>has a preference of how he likes his wrestling. All

<v Speaker 1>you have to do is watch aw and that's a

<v Speaker 1>mirror into a WWE would look like. But again, no

<v Speaker 1>one person or entity should be able to consolidate that

<v Speaker 1>much power within one industry. That's my concern with the

<v Speaker 1>whole Cyber Agent thing. They just bought or bought into

<v Speaker 1>New Japan Pro Wrestling you know them and TV is

<v Speaker 1>sah he each own I believe forty six point three

<v Speaker 1>percent now of New Japan. Bushy Road had about seventy

<v Speaker 1>percent of the stock and they sold it off. The

<v Speaker 1>Cyber Agent also owns DDT and no uh Tokyo Joshi

<v Speaker 1>Pro and now they own a big chun of New Japan.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's a good thing. Plus, the company

<v Speaker 1>is called cyber Agent. Does that not like give people pause?

<v Speaker 1>The fucking company is called cyber Agent. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>It's a little it's a little scary. Ace of Masta

<v Speaker 1>says yeah about that Oba winning again with a sad face.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. Abystle Zones says huge

<v Speaker 1>waste not to have lived on the show, given how

<v Speaker 1>over she was on the pre show. All it would

<v Speaker 1>have needed was EO or Bailey making a challenge on Raw. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>my brother, this is this is Paul Levec that we're

<v Speaker 1>talking about here. Can't be having six matches on these

<v Speaker 1>shows unless it's WrestleMania or SummerSlam. You're not allowed. Five

<v Speaker 1>is the cut off. Five is the cutof, and you

<v Speaker 1>get no matches on the pre show either. But you

<v Speaker 1>can listen to Peter Rosenberg talk there you go. Alexander

<v Speaker 1>says it's a shame that Jacob is now required to

<v Speaker 1>join Roman's Kiss My Ass Club. Lord have mercy. Nika

<v Speaker 1>says glad I did not spend that thirty dollars. I'll

<v Speaker 1>see you have to pay for ESPN unlimited m That sucks.

<v Speaker 1>Aaron says, bloodline MFTs again a rerun of a rerun.

<v Speaker 1>It's like a copy of a copy. You ever see

<v Speaker 1>the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton. It's a copy of

<v Speaker 1>a copy which is never as good as the original.

<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rose says, fuck this company. This show was cookie cutter.

<v Speaker 1>Why do they not evolve any of the main characters?

<v Speaker 1>Cody and Roman, for example, are still the same as

<v Speaker 1>they were in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three.

<v Speaker 1>Because I'm over this shit. It was the main reason

<v Speaker 1>why I can never bring myself to care about the MFTs.

<v Speaker 1>You know, there's nothing. I don't have any issue inherently

<v Speaker 1>with the people in the group. They never bothered to

<v Speaker 1>evolve any of them. Solo is really the only one

<v Speaker 1>that they even bother to focus on, and they have

<v Speaker 1>him completely miscast. Solo Sokoa is not the Godfather, you know.

<v Speaker 1>I can't look at him and not see like again,

<v Speaker 1>like a wish Roman, like he's trying to play Roman

<v Speaker 1>for Halloween or something. That's not the right role for him.

<v Speaker 1>But they never bothered to evolve any of the other

<v Speaker 1>people in the group. Tomatonga, tongaloa J. C. Matteo, they

<v Speaker 1>either never spoke, they stood in the background. They put

<v Speaker 1>the face pain on. Who gives a shit. The reason

<v Speaker 1>the bloodline worked was because everybody had their own personality

<v Speaker 1>and everybody had their own story going. That's why it worked.

<v Speaker 1>A Pumpkin Ryan, thank you, GMB is with us. Roman

<v Speaker 1>is worse than Reign of Terror Triple H at least

<v Speaker 1>triple h put over ben Wa and Batista multiple times.

<v Speaker 1>Roman doesn't want to work with anyone outside of his family.

<v Speaker 1>It seems that way sometimes, doesn't it. It sure seems

<v Speaker 1>that way. Johnny Burney solo openning Oba in the King

<v Speaker 1>of the Ring moves me. I fear, Yeah, it moves

<v Speaker 1>you to the insane asylum. That's where it moves you.

<v Speaker 1>Magnificent Matt, what is your favorite kiss song? War Machine

<v Speaker 1>Gabriel says, I told you Cody will retain because there's

<v Speaker 1>a bigger story in place for that title. Comes Summer

<v Speaker 1>Slam in Randy winning number fifteen. Only then you'll realize

<v Speaker 1>that it was worth it. Dude, I don't give a

<v Speaker 1>shit anymore. I don't even care, don't care, don't care

<v Speaker 1>if Randy wins fifteen, could not care any less. If

<v Speaker 1>it happens, great, If it doesn't happen, I don't give

<v Speaker 1>a shit. You lost me. Bas Bears says, thank you,

<v Speaker 1>brock death Syth because I'm sorry, but Gunther retired Goldberg,

<v Speaker 1>John Cena and aj Styles and then loses to Cody.

<v Speaker 1>That's like brock Lesnar ending the streak at WrestleMania thirty

<v Speaker 1>and losing to John Cena at SummerSlam. Kind of yeah,

<v Speaker 1>in a way, I guess you could look at it

<v Speaker 1>that way. Uh. Philip says the best WWE video game

<v Speaker 1>soundtrack SmackDown versus Raw two thousand and seven or two

<v Speaker 1>K nineteen. I mean, from what I remember of two

<v Speaker 1>K nineteen, I gotta go two K nineteen. Death Sythe says,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not a Triple H fan, but I will give

<v Speaker 1>the man credit because the only other wrestler he has

<v Speaker 1>truly elevated besides Batista was Jeff Hardy back at Armageddon

<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and seven and throughout two thousand and eight.

<v Speaker 1>Would you agree? I don't remember what he did for

<v Speaker 1>Jeff in two thousand and eight, but I I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I'll give you Armageddon, I guess, but I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't really see. And I know he also lost

<v Speaker 1>the Intercontinental title to him in two thousand and one.

<v Speaker 1>You want to go back all the way to A one?

<v Speaker 1>I mean you could technically inclin that too, but again,

<v Speaker 1>you know, getting somebody over is more than just like

<v Speaker 1>letting them beat you in a match. Like Batista, he

<v Speaker 1>he took the time and effort to really help get

<v Speaker 1>that guy over. They built a whole story around Batista

<v Speaker 1>breaking out of evolution and then beating Triple H and

<v Speaker 1>then beating him again, and then beating him again. That's

<v Speaker 1>putting somebody over. Losing a match to somebody, it can

<v Speaker 1>be elevating them to that next level. But it all depends.

<v Speaker 1>It all depends on the situation. It depends also on

<v Speaker 1>how you lose. You can lose a match, but it's

<v Speaker 1>like a slip on a banana peel finish, and what

<v Speaker 1>does that really accomplish, you know what I mean. I'm

<v Speaker 1>not saying that's what he did for Jeff. I'm just

<v Speaker 1>saying I think sometimes people mistake just losing a match,

<v Speaker 1>oh that you know, they elevated somebody, or they they

<v Speaker 1>got them over. No, they put them over. Putting them

<v Speaker 1>over is not necessarily the same as getting them over.

<v Speaker 1>Phillips says, I would prefer the aw finish your kickouts

<v Speaker 1>over seven f fives. Well, I mean, look, there was

<v Speaker 1>nothing on this show that even came close to the

<v Speaker 1>best matches that we just had, you know, a week ago,

<v Speaker 1>at double or nothing. I mean, I'll give you that,

<v Speaker 1>but I mean spamming moves is spamming moves, you know,

<v Speaker 1>no matter who it is. Dried Chicken says Nicky Freeman.

<v Speaker 1>Equals that don't work for me. Brother obsession, great movie

<v Speaker 1>Triple H puts some flavor on this show. Yeah, not really.

<v Speaker 1>Death Site says, my grandmother passed away on my sixteenth

<v Speaker 1>birthday back in twenty ten. She's been dead for sixteen years,

<v Speaker 1>and she still looks fresher than the Bloodline does. Now

<v Speaker 1>shout out to death Site's grandmother. I don't really know

<v Speaker 1>what else to say to that, so we're just gonna

<v Speaker 1>move on. Philip Bowman, the Bloodline has passed nWo levels

<v Speaker 1>of redundant, not until they get the shirts they all

<v Speaker 1>have to get, like their own shirts. That's the one

<v Speaker 1>thing that the Bloodline. They haven't had their own custom

<v Speaker 1>shirts yet where they all wear them at the same time.

<v Speaker 1>Alexander says, you already know Roman is going to be

<v Speaker 1>the World heavyweight Champion until WrestleMania. No, I don't know that,

<v Speaker 1>because if he's here until the summer and he's gonna

<v Speaker 1>go away, then I don't want him to have the

<v Speaker 1>World heavyweight championship. If he's going away after summer, slimon,

<v Speaker 1>he's not going to be full time. Get that fucking

<v Speaker 1>belt off of him. That is the last thing we need.

<v Speaker 1>Base Bears says, I have blue balls from Cody versus Gunther. Well,

<v Speaker 1>that sounds like a problem to take up with your

<v Speaker 1>doctor face Pears Drew Drew mackincock one plus one. You're done,

<v Speaker 1>bitch wise words from brock Lester. Yeah, I mean look again,

<v Speaker 1>he he's a farm boy. He's a farm boy who

<v Speaker 1>probably you know, didn't take advance calculus. So although this

<v Speaker 1>is very basic remedial math that we're talking about here, so,

<v Speaker 1>but he's not being paid to do math. Nico says, Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Solo just got done with obsession. Holy shit, WTF in

<v Speaker 1>a good way. I recommend it to everyone to watch

<v Speaker 1>the movie as you should. It's my favorite movie of

<v Speaker 1>the year and hard to believe, but again, on a

<v Speaker 1>budget of under a million dollars, it is poised, if

<v Speaker 1>you can believe, it to gross in excess worldwide, in

<v Speaker 1>excess of two hundred and fifty million dollars. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know that there has ever been a movie in cinema

<v Speaker 1>history that will turn a profit the way that this

<v Speaker 1>movie will turn a profit. Like it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.

<v Speaker 1>And I saw that they were they were supposed to

<v Speaker 1>be coming out with the movie on digital this week,

<v Speaker 1>and I was like, they got to push that shit.

<v Speaker 1>You can't. You cannot have the movie come out on

<v Speaker 1>digital this week. And so sure enough they pulled it

<v Speaker 1>from the schedule. I mean, it's look at the business

<v Speaker 1>it's doing. You got to keep that shit in theaters.

<v Speaker 1>So now they're giving it the full forty five day

<v Speaker 1>like theater release that all the big movies get. We'll

<v Speaker 1>see how how high they can run that score up. Man,

<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty maybe maybe three hundred million. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>they can do three hundred million worldwide on a budget

<v Speaker 1>of seven hundred and fifty thousand. Also made more in

<v Speaker 1>its third weekend than it did in each of the

<v Speaker 1>previous two weekends. And as far as I know, I

<v Speaker 1>think the only movie that has ever done that where

<v Speaker 1>its third weekend in release was its biggest weekend. I'm

<v Speaker 1>pretty sure the only movie ever to do that was ET,

<v Speaker 1>and that may be it. Besbier says, this is the

<v Speaker 1>most redundant decade yet. It may be at least in

<v Speaker 1>WWA Abystle Zones says, my depressing king of the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Prediction is that Seth wins and they do the same

<v Speaker 1>match they supposedly wanted to originally do at WrestleMania this year. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, the best thing I can say about

<v Speaker 1>that is, at least it wouldn't be Bloodline against Bloodline.

<v Speaker 1>Chris did Triple H book himself to win every match

<v Speaker 1>on this card he was still active, he might have

<v Speaker 1>Kid Villain thirty dollars for three matches. Triple A is

<v Speaker 1>free on YouTube. It is. It's quite great. Actually, you

<v Speaker 1>know that's not gonna last for much longer, though only

<v Speaker 1>a matter of time. They gonna be putting that shit

<v Speaker 1>behind a paywall somewhere. Maybe they'll find a completely different

<v Speaker 1>streaming service that they'll force you to subscribe to. You

<v Speaker 1>then to watch Triple A. I don't think we have

<v Speaker 1>enough of those. Maybe we could add one more to

<v Speaker 1>the list. Spartan Sprinkles coming in hot with a five

<v Speaker 1>dollars super chip. By the way, we did hit the

<v Speaker 1>bonus goal. I didn't notice that. I did, indeed shout

<v Speaker 1>out to Noah Noah the mark in the chat. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what Blair Witch Project did worldwide on I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what the budget for that was or what

<v Speaker 1>the final global total was. But I don't know. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>maybe it's in the conversation. But Spartan says, Roman reigns

<v Speaker 1>forced to the top of the card, Brock spams finishers,

<v Speaker 1>best wrestler in the company, loses to Generic. Uh what,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. That means I thought that said Hawktua

<v Speaker 1>is like what Vince McMahon Booking Lives Retro. Koh Oba

<v Speaker 1>could have won, Brock could have cost Oba the tour,

<v Speaker 1>put his career on the line in a third match.

<v Speaker 1>F this booking, it all just made sense. That's why

<v Speaker 1>I laid it out. That's why I laid it out.

<v Speaker 1>We gotta let brocket his win back. Nico says, glad

<v Speaker 1>I watched the Grande Americano match while I was at

<v Speaker 1>a concert last night. Well worth it. Indeed it was Leo.

<v Speaker 1>I'm very convinced that they have just given up on

<v Speaker 1>the Keana and Julia breakup storyline. I'm so confused whether

<v Speaker 1>this company sees Keana as a future world champion or not.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know about future world champion, but I definitely

<v Speaker 1>think they see her having a bigger upside than Julia. Also,

<v Speaker 1>I really hope Charlotte is fighting for Keana backstage because

<v Speaker 1>I am getting worried. Yeah, I know the two of

<v Speaker 1>them are are good friends. I think Keano will be okay.

<v Speaker 1>I think they'll have plans for her. Julia, I'm less

<v Speaker 1>certain of. Jam says, like to see Lyra against EO

<v Speaker 1>in the Queen of the Ring finals. These two have

<v Speaker 1>such great chemistry and would probably be the best match

<v Speaker 1>in the tournament and the women's Match of the Year contender. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind that with EO going over. Alexander says,

<v Speaker 1>Gable is not on the King of the Ring either, sad. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>McIntyre's not in there, Orton's not in there, Batu's not

<v Speaker 1>in there. Gable's not in there. Yeah. Death sythe says,

<v Speaker 1>how's this for an idea? Obo wins the semi but

<v Speaker 1>he gets taken out by Brocks so he can't make

<v Speaker 1>it to the final and he gets replaced by Randy Orton,

<v Speaker 1>and Randy wins King of the Ring, so Randy just

<v Speaker 1>gets a buy right into the semi finals. I'd be

<v Speaker 1>pissed if I were the other people in the tournament.

<v Speaker 1>You know what I would rather see at this point

<v Speaker 1>at Summer Slim, and we still don't know exactly where

<v Speaker 1>he's gonna land, but I think SmackDown is the best

<v Speaker 1>place for him. Cody Rhoads against Cmpunk, how about we

<v Speaker 1>get behind that for your WWE Championship match at Summer

<v Speaker 1>Slim or is there not enough time to really build

<v Speaker 1>that up? I think there is. I'd rather see that

<v Speaker 1>at this point. Nko says, my little sister saw back rooms.

<v Speaker 1>In her own words, she enjoyed the first and second act.

<v Speaker 1>The third act was an interesting choice. If you know,

<v Speaker 1>you know, one of these days, I'm gonna go and

<v Speaker 1>watch it. You should. It's a very good movie. Not

<v Speaker 1>as good as Obsession, though, Philip Bowman, the vision is

<v Speaker 1>looking like a smacked ass, The team is looking like

<v Speaker 1>a smack that what it was that supposed to me?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that means. Aaron says, wish they

<v Speaker 1>would have made King and Queen of the Ring special

<v Speaker 1>one night events. Yeah, but they haven't done that in years.

<v Speaker 1>Why would you think they would change and do that now?

<v Speaker 1>Nika Sasolo, do you enjoy the spoof and parody genre?

<v Speaker 1>If so, do you have a favorite spoof or parody

<v Speaker 1>movie Spaceballs? Yeah? I mean Spaceball's Airplane Naked Gun. I

<v Speaker 1>didn't see all of the scary movies, though I think

<v Speaker 1>I saw the first one might have been the only

<v Speaker 1>one that I I saw them. I don't think I

<v Speaker 1>saw any of the other ones. Chris Bars said, why

<v Speaker 1>is the son of Dusty never involved in a Dusty finish?

<v Speaker 1>Tonight would have been the perfect opportunity. That's a good question,

<v Speaker 1>Asu Amy. There are only two hundred thousand people in Samoa.

<v Speaker 1>The fact that there were seven Samoans on the screen

<v Speaker 1>at the end of the show is wild and extremely boring.

<v Speaker 1>At this point, the ratings in Samoa must be off

<v Speaker 1>the hook. It's a good point. I feel like maybe

<v Speaker 1>half the population of Samoa is actually on WWE television

<v Speaker 1>any given week. Dried Chicken says, Triple H is a caveman?

<v Speaker 1>Is Fred Flintstone? Sidrow, who was not a caveman, says

<v Speaker 1>it became vegan now every meal feels like a missed steak.

<v Speaker 1>My God, and bought a Humpty dumpty toy from all

<v Speaker 1>the It even came with all the kings horses and

<v Speaker 1>all the king's men. You had that one coming. That

<v Speaker 1>one was deserved. Brock should have cheated to win. How

<v Speaker 1>about Brock should not have won? I fixed it for you,

<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rose. Just like Triple Ah's booking, I'm going to

<v Speaker 1>loop my chats Okay, Pumpkin Ryan Day with a nine

<v Speaker 1>to ninety nine the botch Snatcher whenever Simps get off her. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I know she hit it perfectly tonight, she nailed it tonight,

<v Speaker 1>But you know the next time she botches it, sure

<v Speaker 1>people are gonna jump down her throat. Jeremy Rose, this

<v Speaker 1>shit is trash. Thanks Triple H, Bruce and ps Hayes.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be surprised if part of it was TKO,

<v Speaker 1>also TKO wanting, hey, you know you need more bloodline

<v Speaker 1>on these shows. I wouldn't be shocked if they had

<v Speaker 1>something to do with this. The oofman says, do you

<v Speaker 1>think Soul was messing up on purpose doing the soul

<v Speaker 1>Snatcher all these weeks to finally hit it correctly on

<v Speaker 1>the pl No, No, I don't, because then they would

<v Speaker 1>have made it more of a story, because you know

<v Speaker 1>the way WWE does things like subtlety is not their specialty.

<v Speaker 1>They have to beat you over the head with everything.

<v Speaker 1>They would have spelled that whole story out for you.

<v Speaker 1>They would have been showing her botching it on replays

<v Speaker 1>and stuff. Now she fucked it up, and tonight she didn't.

<v Speaker 1>Hopefully she won't. Barry says in the Mask versus Mask match,

<v Speaker 1>can you tell me who it was that did the

<v Speaker 1>guitar hit. I haven't seen a lot of Triple A,

<v Speaker 1>so I didn't know who that was in the story.

<v Speaker 1>Why did they attack? I don't know who that was.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know who that was. I knew who the

<v Speaker 1>blind comedian was because he had been beaten up previously

<v Speaker 1>by Gable and Pimpinella. S Carlotta. I mean, come on now,

<v Speaker 1>I remember Pimpinella from the Luca Underground days. But yeah,

<v Speaker 1>the person who hit him with the guitar, I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know who that was. Jeremy says the this

<v Speaker 1>shit is trash. Thanks Triple AH to Bruce and PSA.

<v Speaker 1>He's looping his chats. He's staying true to what he

<v Speaker 1>said he was gonna do. Bender mc simpson did take

<v Speaker 1>her have any booking experience before Triple A. No, By

<v Speaker 1>the way, I would be very curious how much of

<v Speaker 1>this is everyone's giving Undertaker all the credit for this.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Jeremy Borash is also involved behind the scenes,

<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's more I feel like he's got many

<v Speaker 1>different hats that he wears, probably production wise as well.

<v Speaker 1>But I would not be surprised if Jeremy Borash had

<v Speaker 1>a little something to do with the booking as well.

<v Speaker 1>This is not all Triple Ah, is that like the

<v Speaker 1>sole booker of Triple A. We got to start showing

<v Speaker 1>Borash some love too. His name doesn't get mentioned enough.

<v Speaker 1>Prince Vegeta says In One Chris Benoi and Stone Cold

<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin had two WWF title matches. I think it

<v Speaker 1>would have been a great moment if ben Wah won

<v Speaker 1>one of those matches and had a short run dropping

<v Speaker 1>it back to Austin at the King of the Ring.

<v Speaker 1>Do you agree? No? No, Plus, it would have taken

<v Speaker 1>away from what he eventually won the title in O four.

<v Speaker 1>I think I think it worked out the way it

<v Speaker 1>was supposed to. He was not He was not the

<v Speaker 1>right person at that time to be taking the bell

<v Speaker 1>from Austin. Nico said regarding obsession, be careful what you

<v Speaker 1>wish for. Well, I wish for a good SmackDown last

<v Speaker 1>night night or the other night and it didn't work.

<v Speaker 1>I think I did it wrong. I think I must

<v Speaker 1>have I must have used my one wish Willow incorrectly.

<v Speaker 1>So but it's okay though, because I have another one

<v Speaker 1>that's being delivered to me, so I think it's coming

<v Speaker 1>not this week but next week, so I'll get to

<v Speaker 1>try again. Also, he says, anytime I see Tallatanga on TV,

<v Speaker 1>I chuckle and say, hey, I went to high school

<v Speaker 1>with that dude. Did you really was he as tall

<v Speaker 1>in high school as he is? Now? Oh? Was it Pimpinella? Who? Uh?

<v Speaker 1>All right it was it was? Are you trying to

<v Speaker 1>say it was Pimpinella who hit Gable with the guitar? Show?

<v Speaker 1>Was it was it Pimpanella? Maybe it was? Ah, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>so it was Pimpinella who hit him with the guitar.

<v Speaker 1>So then I do know who it was. That's right.

<v Speaker 1>He was disguised, all right, So it was Pimpinella as Carlata,

<v Speaker 1>one of the great exotic goes in Lucha libre. Alright,

<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rose, this shit is trash. Thanks Triple Ah for

<v Speaker 1>Bruce Mpsas Alexander says, the spirit of Tangaloa lives on

<v Speaker 1>in BFAB telling you man, you did one job one

<v Speaker 1>anti m Bishop watching the Triple A show, great effort.

<v Speaker 1>Why are we getting blood line? Mft reducts, h Og

<v Speaker 1>needs to come to Houston soon, Go, Spurs go. There's

<v Speaker 1>gonna be some there's gonna be some heartbreak coming to

<v Speaker 1>h town. I'm sorry to say We'll be in Houston

<v Speaker 1>at some point. I definitely have had conversations about that.

<v Speaker 1>The Uffman says, what inning are we at with the bloodline?

<v Speaker 1>I believe it is the top of the fourth Beace

<v Speaker 1>Beer says sixth inning. If we're being on no, no, no,

<v Speaker 1>top of the fourth, we still got a waste to go.

<v Speaker 1>Aaron says, buy or sell, Paulovec, Vince Russo, don't do

<v Speaker 1>this to me. Don't do this to me. David says

<v Speaker 1>trash in Italy. I hated every single booking decision on

<v Speaker 1>this show. Jacob should have won Roman without his Island

<v Speaker 1>is better than reheated stale bs. The booking on this

<v Speaker 1>show is very questionable. Pumpkin, Ryan Day, you think you're

<v Speaker 1>leaving without hitting your goal? Well apparently not. Apparently not,

<v Speaker 1>thank you, Roy Ryan feeding into the goal here. Terry

<v Speaker 1>Funk you know that's true. Actually, the old Terry Funk

<v Speaker 1>quote applies perfectly to the blood Life Forever, forever, forever.

<v Speaker 1>How long will this Bloodline story go on? For forever?

<v Speaker 1>Bass Bears? I miss seven. I miss seven of the

<v Speaker 1>eight matches plus segments on pay per view. Even if

<v Speaker 1>short Brother, I think we all do, even six matches

<v Speaker 1>would be welcome. I don't need ten matches on a card,

<v Speaker 1>But fucking it's ridiculous. I mean, five matches on every

<v Speaker 1>show and they're charging some people thirty bucks for this stuff?

<v Speaker 1>Are you fucking kidding me? And they're given the first

<v Speaker 1>hour away on ESPN? What are we doing here? Uh? Pumpkin,

<v Speaker 1>Ryan Day, not on this Pumpkins watch. Appreciate you man.

<v Speaker 1>He pushed us, He pushed us to that goal. Thank you, Ryan,

<v Speaker 1>Tone C with a ten no message, just showing love.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Tone C, M and M two hundred one

<v Speaker 1>eighty three. What's better than Cody versus gun thre double

<v Speaker 1>be the Booker'd be kind of funny if we actually

<v Speaker 1>landed on Cody versus Gun through in our main event.

<v Speaker 1>We got big Kine twenty three. Can't understand why they

<v Speaker 1>buried Jade. We already saw rha Verse Charlotte and they

<v Speaker 1>need to bring back tom alaw Well, you mean Tongolo,

<v Speaker 1>Barry Jade. Jade'll be fine. Jade had her run and

<v Speaker 1>it was time for the title to come off for her.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to cry over the end of Jade

<v Speaker 1>Cargill's title run. When is ESPN Unlimited being integrated into

<v Speaker 1>YouTube TV supposedly not until the fall. It's ridiculous. Hey, Jeremy,

<v Speaker 1>thank you be man. The champ Roman leads o G

<v Speaker 1>Bloodline FA Too Bloodline Wolfpack with what like Solo's crew.

<v Speaker 1>Jacob's going to go back and usurp Solo is the leader?

<v Speaker 1>Is that really going to be radically different? Mike with

<v Speaker 1>a ten dollars super chat. Everybody's saying Oba needed to

<v Speaker 1>lose because being too dominant would hurt him long term. However,

<v Speaker 1>Braun has destroyed Seth since Mania and it hasn't hurt

<v Speaker 1>Braun just saying that's one of the reasons why I

<v Speaker 1>could see Rollins and Breaker in the finals. Honestly, with

<v Speaker 1>Rollin's getting his win back, I think there's a very

<v Speaker 1>good chance of that. Pumpkin, Ryan Day Blair Witch cost

<v Speaker 1>an estimated thirty thousand to sixty thousand and made two

<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty eight million. All right, well, obsession. If

<v Speaker 1>it adds fifty million more, I think that'll be even

<v Speaker 1>more impressive. Was it really only sixty thousand dollars for

<v Speaker 1>Blair Witch? I mean, I guess they didn't really have

<v Speaker 1>to worry about different set pieces or anything. Right, it's

<v Speaker 1>pretty much the same shed over and over again, super pony.

<v Speaker 1>Roman wins, Jacob falls in love or fall falls in love.

<v Speaker 1>You know Italy is a very romantic country. Ah, let

<v Speaker 1>me try that again. Roman wins, Jacob falls in line,

<v Speaker 1>not falls in love. What year is it? I could

<v Speaker 1>have sworn it was twenty twenty six. I could have

<v Speaker 1>sworn it was twenty twenty six. But maybe it's twenty

<v Speaker 1>twenty one. But let's stop complaining and let it play out. Lol.

<v Speaker 1>Yes lol. Indeed, that would certainly be a different spin

<v Speaker 1>on the storyline if Jacob fought to ends up falling

<v Speaker 1>in love with Roman reigns. See, that's a different type

<v Speaker 1>of bloodline story that I don't think that we're really

<v Speaker 1>prepared for. It's not really the story I'm looking for here.

<v Speaker 1>Death syth If they insist on doing brock Oba at SummerSlam.

<v Speaker 1>Here's an idea. They face each other on night one

<v Speaker 1>and the winner faces Roman for the world title on

<v Speaker 1>night two, and it makes Oba look like a bigger

<v Speaker 1>star than before. You know, even the teas of another

<v Speaker 1>Brock and Roman match sends a shiver down my spine.

<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting idea. They're not going to do it.

<v Speaker 1>I definitely, you know, expect that they are going to

<v Speaker 1>want to have a Roman reign's main event to promote

<v Speaker 1>weeks in events. And again, we may have Roman's opponent

<v Speaker 1>solidified in the King of the Ring and it may

<v Speaker 1>not even matter. So it's an interesting It's an interesting thought,

<v Speaker 1>but not one that I see them doing. Oh we

<v Speaker 1>got Miles Woods. Thank god for alternative wrestling promotions. Always

<v Speaker 1>good to have competition retro koh unrelated because I was

<v Speaker 1>absent on Friday. Can we refer to Trick Williams as

<v Speaker 1>a champion named Trick back after that backhand? Yeah, he

<v Speaker 1>backhanded the shit out of Ricky stains be Man the champ.

<v Speaker 1>I miss Jeremy Borash doing ring announcing Man was a

<v Speaker 1>highlight of old TNA papers. Made the main events feel huge.

<v Speaker 1>He did Anti m Bishop says Mets are better than WWE. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's not get carried away. Now, Let's not

<v Speaker 1>get carried away now, Devin says, why is Triple H,

<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest heels in company history now afraid

<v Speaker 1>of being booed at these post show panels. Yeah, he's

<v Speaker 1>terrified of going out there now in front of the people.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think they brought him out in front of

<v Speaker 1>the fans, did they. He's he's been running scared. He's

<v Speaker 1>been interviewed in the back by like Kathy Kelly at

<v Speaker 1>some of these things. He refuses to go out in

<v Speaker 1>front of the people. I figure maybe in front of

<v Speaker 1>these Italy fans he would pop out there. But according

<v Speaker 1>to Devon, I guess not Vontelle biggest political power or

<v Speaker 1>Roman Triple H or Hogan. Hogan is just I mean,

<v Speaker 1>Hogan is that he will forever be the king of that.

<v Speaker 1>The man who had creative control in his contract can't

<v Speaker 1>beat that. Hogan will always be the master. You know

<v Speaker 1>who found out about that, Shawn Michaels. Even Shawn Michaels

<v Speaker 1>cannot out politic the great Hulk Hogan. But I would

<v Speaker 1>say Triple H is a close second. Jeremy says, you

<v Speaker 1>like how they put half the roster in seats just

<v Speaker 1>to get on the show but can't book more matches. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they flew them out there, but they couldn't get them

<v Speaker 1>in the ring. Link master X. I'm paying thirty dollars

<v Speaker 1>for pay per views and I get ads. Why you're

<v Speaker 1>asking the wrong person? I don't know you don't enjoy

<v Speaker 1>your big ad breaks in between all the matches. Jeremy says,

<v Speaker 1>I love you Solo will be back by the end

<v Speaker 1>of the year. I think I love you Solo will

<v Speaker 1>be back by the end of the week. At this point,

<v Speaker 1>fucking Jacob behind the scene, one says was Austin Wright

<v Speaker 1>for not jobbing to Brock in two uh yes and no,

<v Speaker 1>yes and no. His rationale for not wanting to do

<v Speaker 1>the job for Brock. He was one hundred percent correct.

<v Speaker 1>It was a stupid idea. Him walking out and taking

<v Speaker 1>it as far as he did. That was not the

<v Speaker 1>right move to make. But I think him not wanting

<v Speaker 1>to job to Brock because it was an advertised it

<v Speaker 1>was a King of the Ring qualifying match on a

<v Speaker 1>random TV show, and feeling like there was money to

<v Speaker 1>be made with them in main events on a pay

<v Speaker 1>per view. He's one hundred correct, you know, but you

<v Speaker 1>don't pack your bag and go to the airport and

<v Speaker 1>fly home. Aaron says, wwe is doing Live versus EO

<v Speaker 1>versus Soul in a title match on house shows and

<v Speaker 1>instead have Live in the crowd on the plees. It's

<v Speaker 1>like they want to keep the show's average. I Love

<v Speaker 1>You Roman, Yeah, we might get I Love You Roman

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon. I'm sorry, Bender mc simpson.

<v Speaker 1>Mass versus Mask was great, but the two second delay

<v Speaker 1>on commentary reacting and calling moves was quite annoying. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get into that on Tuesday. That was the

<v Speaker 1>one blight on the show for me. That was like,

<v Speaker 1>that was a real issue and I just don't understand.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I understand Corey Graves was was there in Italy.

<v Speaker 1>He was calling the show here with Michael Cole, So

<v Speaker 1>I guess maybe for him to be live in Mexico

<v Speaker 1>and Monterey and then have to fly for an afternoon show, oh,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was a nighttime show in Italy, but

<v Speaker 1>logistically maybe that was impossible. But then get Wade Barrett

<v Speaker 1>to do the show here with Michael Cole, like, there

<v Speaker 1>was no reason for your announcers on a big show

<v Speaker 1>like this to not be there live in the arena.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a huge mistake. Pumpkin, Ryan Day

<v Speaker 1>Jade couldn't sell a dollar snow cone to a resident

<v Speaker 1>of Hell. We okay, and Jaba Femi lost to Timu

<v Speaker 1>Rock's Timu Rock Saints and Toni Spaghettio. Let's quit acting

<v Speaker 1>like he's unbeatable. Go Brock go, Yeah, Brock's going home

<v Speaker 1>in a few months. Brock's gonna be done momentarily. It's

<v Speaker 1>time to ship Brock off into the sunset. We got

<v Speaker 1>the Pats number one fan MFT and Bloodlines merge like

<v Speaker 1>the nWo Elite in ninety nine. That sounds absolutely deplorable.

<v Speaker 1>Bender mcsimpson. Who was the better commentator when it comes

<v Speaker 1>to not knowing the names of moves, Vince McMahon or

<v Speaker 1>Eric Bischoff. Oh, it's Vince McMahon. It's not even close.

<v Speaker 1>Vince McMahon was just objectively a better announcer in every

<v Speaker 1>way than Eric Bischoff. Like, it's I don't like I'm

<v Speaker 1>offended that that's even a question. God Phoenix sixty six

<v Speaker 1>can we let Hulk Hogan. Can we let Hulk Hogan

<v Speaker 1>rest in peace? Please? Who's not letting Hulk Hogan rest

<v Speaker 1>in peace? I don't know. Why don't you tell that

<v Speaker 1>to Netflix? They did a whole four part documentary on him.

<v Speaker 1>So guess what people are going to have opinions on it.

<v Speaker 1>You don't like it too bad? Uh, super Pony, imagine

<v Speaker 1>Ko is ready to come back. He's excited. He says,

<v Speaker 1>what plans do you have for me? A feud with

<v Speaker 1>Punk maybe? Or a world title run? They say, how

<v Speaker 1>about Bloodline? Again? He says, I'm good. My next still hurts.

<v Speaker 1>I saw his tweet earlier, he says, I miss wrestling,

<v Speaker 1>So I tweeted him back. I said, well wrestling missus

<v Speaker 1>you We could certainly use him on SmackDown right now?

<v Speaker 1>Oh thank you, super Pony. And I think that we

<v Speaker 1>are all caught up now. I do believe that we

<v Speaker 1>are all caught up for now. Now. The likes goal,

<v Speaker 1>I just got to show we smashed it. But I

<v Speaker 1>just got to show you guys. It was five hundred

<v Speaker 1>and fifteen likes. We are currently sitting at eight hundred

<v Speaker 1>and forty three. You know, this is kind of like

<v Speaker 1>obsession where it was made like on a very low budget,

<v Speaker 1>but then it just completely blew past all expectations. The

<v Speaker 1>goal was five point fifteen. Is it possible that we

<v Speaker 1>could hit a thousand likes before we get out of here?

<v Speaker 1>Is that possible? We have seventeen hundred people still here,

<v Speaker 1>so I would say it is very much possible. Reekinson,

<v Speaker 1>what's going on? Man? Fifty four months? He's a sound

<v Speaker 1>of legend. Did you ever listen to sneaker Pimps? I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what that is, so I'm gonna say no

<v Speaker 1>because I feel like I would remember that name if

<v Speaker 1>I knew what that was. So while you guys marinate

<v Speaker 1>on that, you've got a couple of rounds to be

<v Speaker 1>the booker coming your way. So let's get to it.

<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>Let's do it clash in Italy. Can we book a

<v Speaker 1>better card than Paul of K I think we can.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do a Paul of VEC didn't have the

<v Speaker 1>balls to do tonight. I'm gonna book a tag team match.

<v Speaker 1>At least I have a division. I didn't say it

<v Speaker 1>was a great one, but I did say I have

<v Speaker 1>a division. Uh too cool? Too cool was very popular

<v Speaker 1>once upon a time, Grandmaster sex A and Scottie too Hottie.

<v Speaker 1>They are going to be booked against who? What does

<v Speaker 1>our tag team match here be? The booker is over

<v Speaker 1>after the Wyat six massacred A man, oh, no ah, No,

<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't

<v Speaker 1>believe it. The Wyat six has massacred the entire roster.

<v Speaker 1>A man, boy, I'll tell you what though, I'll tell

<v Speaker 1>you what. Well, First of all, that answers the question

<v Speaker 1>of can we book a better card than Paulovac. What

<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say is the good thing is that

<v Speaker 1>you guys unlocked a bonus round and this does not

<v Speaker 1>affect the bonus round. It does affect this round. This

<v Speaker 1>round is out the window. However, we do have a

<v Speaker 1>bonus round, so we will we will move on to

<v Speaker 1>the bonus round. I can't do that to you. I can't.

<v Speaker 1>I can't. We can't lose both rounds. But these are

<v Speaker 1>the rules. Though. You know, when you land on that,

<v Speaker 1>it's over. That's it. We've got a couple of those

<v Speaker 1>in there. Okay, Well, onto the stipulations we go hopefully

<v Speaker 1>we'll stay away from that. There we go. Anarchy in

<v Speaker 1>the arena. We just had one of these. We just

<v Speaker 1>had stadium stampede last week. Anarchy in the arena. That

<v Speaker 1>means I have to book five on Oh my god. Wait,

<v Speaker 1>oh man, all right, well, here's what we're gonna do.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna keep We're gonna keep it to five on.

<v Speaker 1>So we're making up for the round we just lost.

<v Speaker 1>Because now I got a book, a five on five

<v Speaker 1>anarchy in the arena match, and we're gonna go to

<v Speaker 1>the men. Oh boy, five on five. All right, pull

<v Speaker 1>your pencils out, everybody. I need you to keep track

<v Speaker 1>of these teams in case I forget Anarchy in the

<v Speaker 1>arena Team number one? Are you fucking Oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, you have got to be shitting me.

<v Speaker 1>You have got to be shitting me. This cannot this

<v Speaker 1>cannot be real. This that did not just happen. Tell

<v Speaker 1>me that did not just happen. I can't. I can't

<v Speaker 1>believe that. How can I How can I do that

<v Speaker 1>to you guys? How can I do that to you guys?

<v Speaker 1>We can't, we can't do this. I cannot allow this

<v Speaker 1>to stand. I cannot allow this to stand. So I'll

<v Speaker 1>tell you what I'm gonna do. We're gonna start this

<v Speaker 1>round over again, because that is impossible. That is impossible

<v Speaker 1>for that to happen. Do you know how many options

<v Speaker 1>are in these things? Dozens, hundreds. The fact that we

<v Speaker 1>landed on that twice is literally unbelievable. We're gonna start over.

<v Speaker 1>We lost anarchy in the arena. I am bound and

<v Speaker 1>determined to give you this round that you unlocked. We

<v Speaker 1>go from anarchy in the arena to kennel from Hell?

<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me? We made it worse. We actually

<v Speaker 1>made it worse. We have a Kennel from Hell match

<v Speaker 1>with the Nature Boy Rick Flair. By do I have

<v Speaker 1>a segment on him coming up on the Young Crown

<v Speaker 1>Wrestling Show on Tuesday. Ric Flair is going to be

<v Speaker 1>in Kennel from Hell though, and he's going to be

<v Speaker 1>wrestling Malachi Black in a kennel from Helma. It's kennel

<v Speaker 1>from Hell. Take two. Two great wrestlers like this, they

<v Speaker 1>deserve more than kennel from Hell. I can't give that

<v Speaker 1>the bell. I can't do that. Well, only it's only

<v Speaker 1>up from here, right, brawl for all? We go from

<v Speaker 1>Kennel from this is this is like an Attitude era

<v Speaker 1>edition to be the booker here we go from Kennel

<v Speaker 1>from Hell to Brawl for All. It's like it's gonna

<v Speaker 1>be in all mens, be the booker here because I

<v Speaker 1>cannot in good conscience allow the ladies to go into

<v Speaker 1>Bra for All. We have tired Mike Tyson. It's over

<v Speaker 1>like it. It's fucking Bra for All. It doesn't matter

<v Speaker 1>who was on the other side of the ring with him.

<v Speaker 1>That person is done and they're dead. It's over fucking

<v Speaker 1>Mike Tyson in Bral for All. I don't want to

<v Speaker 1>be in the ring with him, even if he is

<v Speaker 1>tired and yawning. Who's Mike Tyson knocking out androde l

<v Speaker 1>Ideloh hey, you know what? That couldn't be a fun one. Androtte, Look, Androtti,

<v Speaker 1>he didn he punch out or sucker punch Sammy Gavara

<v Speaker 1>wants backstage. He's still gonna lose, but I think Androte

<v Speaker 1>might put up an interesting fight. Some of these matches

<v Speaker 1>are just unbelievable. Oh God, it gets worse. How what

<v Speaker 1>is going on tonight? Kennell from Hell to Brawl for

<v Speaker 1>All to a Yappa Pie strap match. This is when

<v Speaker 1>hul Cogan cut that promo on Rick Flair talked about

<v Speaker 1>and I quote the strapation. Get ready for the strapation?

<v Speaker 1>Are you ready to? Are you ready for the strapation?

<v Speaker 1>From hul Cogan? These matches are horrible, absolutely horrible. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what's going on here. I really don't. Am

<v Speaker 1>I cursed by Dan House? I don't. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>I'm cursed by Dan Holsen. I think be the Booker's

<v Speaker 1>been cursed by Dan Holsen. All right, a Yappa Pie

<v Speaker 1>strap match. That's it. We've that's it, We've We've just

<v Speaker 1>gone completely off the rails. I don't. I don't even know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what else to say. Every time

<v Speaker 1>I say that it can't possibly get any worse, it

<v Speaker 1>has progressively gotten worse. We we just got done talking

<v Speaker 1>about Hulk Hogan and the Strapation and we land on

<v Speaker 1>gangrel is watching you masturbate spin again. Look at the

<v Speaker 1>look on this man. Look at the look on this

<v Speaker 1>man's face. What is this? What is this? Be the Booker?

<v Speaker 1>What is happening here? How did we get here? Hogan

<v Speaker 1>in the strap match? And again, stop watching me? Why

<v Speaker 1>are you watching me? It's that face gangrel Stop, you

<v Speaker 1>have a problem, you need help. Oh, try again, he's

<v Speaker 1>out of control, he really is. Okay, curd Angle and Hulkogan.

<v Speaker 1>Fuck it, finally, way decent match here. Oh my God,

<v Speaker 1>get me out of here, please enough. That's the worst.

<v Speaker 1>That is the worst Be the Booker we've ever done.

<v Speaker 1>It was just one disaster after another. It just somehow

<v Speaker 1>it kept getting worse. But I couldn't. I couldn't, you know,

<v Speaker 1>once we unlocked that second goal. I couldn't take that

<v Speaker 1>second round away from you guys, even though I should have,

<v Speaker 1>per the rules, but I couldn't do that to you. Well,

<v Speaker 1>that was one for the books. I'll say that last

<v Speaker 1>few super cheats here, Jeremy says, do you think Hayman

<v Speaker 1>would book better than Triple H? Yes? Q Dog sixty

<v Speaker 1>months of channel membership, a new reason to hate, the

<v Speaker 1>new reason to hate the Wyatt six. Now they're still

<v Speaker 1>in there. They're still in there. One of these days

<v Speaker 1>they're going to cost you an entire be the Booker again.

<v Speaker 1>We have never landed on that twice in a row though.

<v Speaker 1>That is a first. That is the first time that's

<v Speaker 1>ever happened. Maybe forty one eighty one while things got

<v Speaker 1>hot and heavy in the elevator for Kaiser and his woman,

<v Speaker 1>the other guy should have played Mark Henry's old love

<v Speaker 1>theme on his phone. I think things got a little

<v Speaker 1>hot and heavy in that last round of Be the

<v Speaker 1>Booker There, Eric says, joining the stream just now? Was jarring?

<v Speaker 1>Was it was? It was a gangrel watching you? Is

<v Speaker 1>that with it naked naked dried chickens as Triple h

<v Speaker 1>is using voodoo magic? Be the Booker Death sith, what

<v Speaker 1>do you think of Batista scene of brock and Orton

<v Speaker 1>being inducted into the Hall of Fame in the same year.

<v Speaker 1>It would make sense since they are the class of

<v Speaker 1>O two. Uh, that's not gonna happen because WWE is

<v Speaker 1>not going to put that many big names in in

<v Speaker 1>one class. You know, there's only so many names left,

<v Speaker 1>big names left to go in, and so they're going

<v Speaker 1>to want to divide that up, so there's no way

<v Speaker 1>they're going to put them all in together. They got

<v Speaker 1>Mega X zero forever have you seen Mask versus Mask?

<v Speaker 1>Miss p l E had a family emergency. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>for the podcast. They helped a lot today. Well hopefully

<v Speaker 1>it wasn't anything too serious. I did see Mask versus Mask,

<v Speaker 1>and I will be reviewing it and commenting on the

<v Speaker 1>on Crowned Wrestling Show on Tuesday. I would have commented

<v Speaker 1>on it on the sound Off today, however, because of

<v Speaker 1>this fucking ple I had to get the sound off

<v Speaker 1>up a day early, and so I saw the Triple

<v Speaker 1>A show after the fact. But that's the beauty of

<v Speaker 1>having two podcasts now in one week. I could comment

<v Speaker 1>on it on the next show, and we got Ray

<v Speaker 1>Kwan with a dollar ninety nine. Jacob will be Roman's butler,

<v Speaker 1>like on Seinfeld's what I said the other day. I

<v Speaker 1>mentioned that the other day, I mentioned when George got

<v Speaker 1>in that car accident and he had to be that

<v Speaker 1>guy's butler. It's basically what the storyline is. So Tomorrow Tomorrow,

<v Speaker 1>Raw airs at two pm on Netflix, and if you dare,

<v Speaker 1>I may have scared some people off here tonight, but

<v Speaker 1>I'll be live again about eight pm Eastern, just like

<v Speaker 1>tonight for the Raw recap tomorrow, since there's no need

<v Speaker 1>to wait to go live until eleven o'clock. And so

<v Speaker 1>that'll be tomorrow, and then yes, there'll be a brand

<v Speaker 1>new episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling Show dropping on Tuesday

<v Speaker 1>on its own again. It's got its own dedicated podcast feed,

<v Speaker 1>or you can get it if you're sub to the

<v Speaker 1>aerial hell Wani show feed for his audio podcast. It's

<v Speaker 1>posted there as well. And then we got Tuesday Night

<v Speaker 1>TNT with myself and JD Tuesday Night Titans. We have

<v Speaker 1>the Dynamite post show this week. We got SmackDown Post

<v Speaker 1>Italy which is in Italy on Friday, and that will

<v Speaker 1>also very likely be an earlier stream, just like it

<v Speaker 1>was this past Friday. Cause again this month there's a

<v Speaker 1>lot of international dates, so just keep that in mind.

<v Speaker 1>A lot of these streams will probably end up being

<v Speaker 1>two or three hours earlier than usual. I won't be

<v Speaker 1>going live immediately after the shows, but probably around eight

<v Speaker 1>eight thirty ish is one you can expect to see

<v Speaker 1>me live, So just make sure you're sub to the

<v Speaker 1>channel notification bell is turned on and that way you

<v Speaker 1>won't miss a thing. So thank you, guys. I hope

<v Speaker 1>I entertained you here for these two and a half

<v Speaker 1>hours or so, maybe more so than wwe did. Go

<v Speaker 1>check out the sound off from yesterday. Be well, stay safe,

<v Speaker 1>have yourselves a great rest of your night, and I

<v Speaker 1>will try to shake off some horrible images that we

<v Speaker 1>had there and be the booker, and we'll come back

<v Speaker 1>and do it again tomorrow. Until then, take care, guys,
