<v Speaker 1>Summer Slam twenty twenty six is in the books. Overdone,

<v Speaker 1>both nights all wrapped up from Minneapolis. Tonight was night

<v Speaker 1>number two, and we had a night that was better

<v Speaker 1>than Night one. I enjoyed Night two a lot better

<v Speaker 1>than I did Night one, not without its imperfections, of course,

<v Speaker 1>but definitely a step up from what we got. Which

<v Speaker 1>if you would have told me that coming into this weekend,

<v Speaker 1>I would have been like, what are you talking about?

<v Speaker 1>On paper? Night one was much better than Night two.

<v Speaker 1>That's funny how it works out. Sometimes. We had Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns and Seth Rollins in the main event, and we

<v Speaker 1>had fourteen years of history behind this match. This match

<v Speaker 1>was really built around the shield, the symbolism of the shield,

<v Speaker 1>the shared to the back, all the history between these men,

<v Speaker 1>going back to the very beginning. It's all culminating in

<v Speaker 1>this match. Because Roman Reigns could not beat Seth Rawlins

<v Speaker 1>the big stage, whenever there was a championship on the line,

<v Speaker 1>whenever there was like a big, big match, he has

<v Speaker 1>not been able to beat this man. That was the

<v Speaker 1>story coming into this match, and I was of the

<v Speaker 1>belief up until maybe I don't know, a week ago,

<v Speaker 1>ten days ago, see I'm punking Cody Roads. They should

<v Speaker 1>have closed the weekend because that just felt like the

<v Speaker 1>bigger match until we saw the back and forth on

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown and everything, and it became very clear to me

<v Speaker 1>last week, I said, you know what, this doesn't really

<v Speaker 1>feel as big as I feel like it should feel.

<v Speaker 1>Roman and Seth has been built up like a major

<v Speaker 1>main event. So I think they got it right as

<v Speaker 1>far as the positioning of the main events. And as

<v Speaker 1>it turned out, the match with Cody and Punk last night,

<v Speaker 1>while it did pick up towards the end, and I

<v Speaker 1>did end up thinking it turned into a good match,

<v Speaker 1>was not as good, not nearly as good as I

<v Speaker 1>was expecting it to be. It was actually quite boring

<v Speaker 1>for the first half Tonight, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>went out there for even longer that match last night

<v Speaker 1>was I think twenty nine minutes. They went out there

<v Speaker 1>for thirty three minutes in the main event tonight. Because

<v Speaker 1>you know, Roman is always going to get as much

<v Speaker 1>time as he needs. They gave him thirty three minutes

<v Speaker 1>in the main event tonight. They went out there and yes,

<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of you know, there was a

<v Speaker 1>lot of finisher spam and they one thing that they

<v Speaker 1>did a lot of, and this is actually a hallmark

<v Speaker 1>of Summer Roman's matches, but it was very apparent watching

<v Speaker 1>this match here tonight was the fact that Roman and

<v Speaker 1>Seth they were using each other's moves. So it's not

<v Speaker 1>enough for Roman to use the spear, then Seth uses

<v Speaker 1>the spear, Roman uses the stomp. We had a lot

<v Speaker 1>of that sort of thing in this match. But I

<v Speaker 1>got to say, you know, Roman's really good. Roman is

<v Speaker 1>really good at doing a Roman reigns match. There's there's

<v Speaker 1>a certain formula to it, and more often than not,

<v Speaker 1>like on a big stage like this Mania Summerslim, it works.

<v Speaker 1>It worked at WrestleMania, you know, he went out there,

<v Speaker 1>would see I'm Punk. They had an excellent Night two

<v Speaker 1>main event, and it worked with Rollins here on this show.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe it didn't for everybody, but it did for me.

<v Speaker 1>It certainly resonated more than anything I saw last night,

<v Speaker 1>including Brock and Oba, including Cody and Punk. They went

<v Speaker 1>out there, they had an all timer in the Summer

<v Speaker 1>Slam main event. I say all timer, I don't mean

<v Speaker 1>that it's gonna rank, you know, in my top ten

<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. But in terms of just excellent

<v Speaker 1>summer Slam main events, this one will be up there,

<v Speaker 1>certainly for summer slams over the last decade or so.

<v Speaker 1>And it puts to bed the whole Shield lore once

<v Speaker 1>and for all. I love the symbolism at the very

<v Speaker 1>end when they shared the fist bum and they had

<v Speaker 1>the old shield half mask, the skull mask that they

<v Speaker 1>used to wear. I mean, they look they were putting

<v Speaker 1>on an example for people long before the pandemic recovery.

<v Speaker 1>Half we had the skull masks laying on the floor

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with them. I saw it as kind

<v Speaker 1>of the the symbolism of Dean Ambrose, who couldn't be there,

<v Speaker 1>he was there in spirit, So the masks sort of

<v Speaker 1>represented Ambrose. And there you had rollins, there you had rains,

<v Speaker 1>and so finally we could put the shield in the

<v Speaker 1>rear view. Is this going to be the last time

<v Speaker 1>these two ever stepped in the ring together one on one?

<v Speaker 1>Probably not. It kind of felt like the closing of

<v Speaker 1>that chapter. Though if we do circle back around to

<v Speaker 1>this at some point, it's probably going to be a

<v Speaker 1>very long time, and good it should be a very

<v Speaker 1>long time. We don't need to see Roman and Seth anymore.

<v Speaker 1>They put a nice button on it in that main

<v Speaker 1>event tonight, where Seth Rollins goes. I don't know where

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns goes next. I have a few ideas for

<v Speaker 1>where that may be, and we'll talk about that when

<v Speaker 1>we get towards the end here. But I thought an

<v Speaker 1>excellent main event. The other thing I was looking forward to,

<v Speaker 1>actually the thing I may have been looking forward to

<v Speaker 1>the most, frankly on this night too, Chad Gable was

<v Speaker 1>in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've been waiting for

<v Speaker 1>Chad Gable as a fan of his work. I've been

<v Speaker 1>waiting for a very long time to see Chad Gable

<v Speaker 1>get what he deserves. And what I felt like this

<v Speaker 1>man was overdue for was to win a championship which

<v Speaker 1>he had never done. Singles. Singles championship he had never

<v Speaker 1>done over a decade in this company, going back to

<v Speaker 1>his days in developmental as part of American Alpha. And

<v Speaker 1>you saw the work that he did in TRIPLEA, you

<v Speaker 1>saw the mask match he had with Kaiser a few

<v Speaker 1>months ago, and everything was just set up perfectly for tonight.

<v Speaker 1>They're in his hometown. He has this Redemption Arc. He's

<v Speaker 1>a babyface again. He's going around completing the twelve Steps

<v Speaker 1>and apologizing to people for past indiscretions. They're trying to

<v Speaker 1>get this clap over that he's doing, the new music.

<v Speaker 1>All of it right. Everything was set up perfectly for

<v Speaker 1>him to walk into his hometown tonight and finally have

<v Speaker 1>that big moment. They had one job, and they did

<v Speaker 1>what they needed to do, and Chad Gable for the

<v Speaker 1>first time in his career, finally the Intercontinental Champion. He

<v Speaker 1>did what Seamus could never do. He won the Icy

<v Speaker 1>title before Seamus Dashy. Seamus will never win the Icy

<v Speaker 1>title now, but he won the Intercontinental Championship. It was

<v Speaker 1>a family affair, his wife, his kids, I think his parents,

<v Speaker 1>they were all there, invited them into the ring. When

<v Speaker 1>the match was over, he got some mic time, like

<v Speaker 1>this was everything that I had hoped it would be,

<v Speaker 1>except for the fact that they only got about as

<v Speaker 1>much time as Oba and Brock did last night in

<v Speaker 1>the main event, which is to say they didn't get

<v Speaker 1>a lot of time for their match. So I wish

<v Speaker 1>I could sit here and tell you that. Oh man,

<v Speaker 1>you know, Gable and Penta, they went out there and

<v Speaker 1>they had like a Match of the Year contender, they

<v Speaker 1>had an all timer at SummerSlam. They didn't. They didn't,

<v Speaker 1>and they didn't have enough time to on a show where,

<v Speaker 1>you know, we have a lot of other things going on.

<v Speaker 1>We have long entrances, and we have long commercial breaks,

<v Speaker 1>and so we can only fit in so much wrestling

<v Speaker 1>on this show. I'm not asking for an overabundance of it.

<v Speaker 1>But if there was one match on this show that

<v Speaker 1>I really wish could have gotten another seven to ten minutes,

<v Speaker 1>it was that one. That's really the only critique of

<v Speaker 1>that match that I have. Those two were unable to

<v Speaker 1>go out there and put on the kind of match

<v Speaker 1>I know they can. But Chad Gable finally got his moment.

<v Speaker 1>Very cool to see Chelsea Green. Speaking of moments, we

<v Speaker 1>had this ladder match for the Interim Women's Championship, and

<v Speaker 1>as big of a moment as it turned out to

<v Speaker 1>be for her here tonight, I stand by what I've

<v Speaker 1>been saying, which is that the Interim Championship is completely unnecessary.

<v Speaker 1>You could have had a big ladder match on this

<v Speaker 1>show to crown a number one contender or something, and

<v Speaker 1>if you wanted to give her that moment. You could

<v Speaker 1>have given her that moment. The way things worked out,

<v Speaker 1>though they opted to go the interim title route. They

<v Speaker 1>chose five women for this match, and of all the

<v Speaker 1>five women in that match, they went with the one

<v Speaker 1>who I expected the least to walk out with the championship.

<v Speaker 1>But I was very happy to see her have her moment,

<v Speaker 1>and that is Chelsea Green. You will not find anybody

<v Speaker 1>in that company with a bad word to say about

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Green. You will not find very many people whose

<v Speaker 1>opinion I would even care about, who have really a

<v Speaker 1>bad thing to say about Chelsea Green. She's very entertaining.

<v Speaker 1>She's never been positioned at the top of the card

<v Speaker 1>or in the world title mix or anything like that.

<v Speaker 1>But she went babyface not that long ago, and the

<v Speaker 1>fans seem to enjoy her. They are entertained by her

<v Speaker 1>and the fans of Minneapolis. And they had about thirty

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the they didn't announce the attendance

<v Speaker 1>on either night, which speaks volumes. I actually think they

<v Speaker 1>had more people in the building for Night one than

<v Speaker 1>they did for Night two, But they had thirty five

<v Speaker 1>thousand whatever it was in the building, and they all

<v Speaker 1>went crazy when Chelsea Green pulled down the interim Women's

<v Speaker 1>Championship that they panned out and they had that wide

<v Speaker 1>shot and everybody is jumping up and down and going nuts,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure Matt Cardona was in the back going nuts. Right.

<v Speaker 1>Nobody is happier I'm sure for her than he is.

<v Speaker 1>And it was just a great moment, and it was

<v Speaker 1>a great, you know, crowd pleasing finish to what was

<v Speaker 1>not a very good match. I told you guys coming in,

<v Speaker 1>there's no in betweens on this that ladder match is

<v Speaker 1>either going to turn out to exceed expectations and be

<v Speaker 1>really really good, or it's going to be really really

<v Speaker 1>bad and it's going to be a mess. And for

<v Speaker 1>the most part, that's what it was. But we got

<v Speaker 1>the crowd pleasing finished there. So another moment, right, the

<v Speaker 1>Gable moment, the Chelsea moment. We got more moments on

<v Speaker 1>this show than we did last night. Another moment we

<v Speaker 1>got because we had no title changes at all last night.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight we had a few. One of them was Baron Corbin,

<v Speaker 1>who just came back to the company recently. This was

<v Speaker 1>his first match, his first match back. He was wrestling

<v Speaker 1>for the United States Championship and he is the United

<v Speaker 1>States Champion. I know there's gonna be a lot of

<v Speaker 1>people who scratch their head. Why would they do this?

<v Speaker 1>Why would they take the belt off of Trick and

<v Speaker 1>of all people, put it on Baron Corbin. I don't

<v Speaker 1>mind the move. I actually I didn't just predict it.

<v Speaker 1>I endorsed it. And we'll get into the match and

<v Speaker 1>you know what it can mean and all that. So

<v Speaker 1>that was another moment on this show. But then one

<v Speaker 1>of the bigger, if not the biggest moment on the show,

<v Speaker 1>actually came in the opening contest, and it was the

<v Speaker 1>return of a former I go I was gonna say

<v Speaker 1>former ww champion, but I guess he's never won the

<v Speaker 1>WWE title yet. Yet it may happen. It actually may

<v Speaker 1>finally happen because Kevin Owens. We've been waiting so long

<v Speaker 1>for Kevin Owens to make his return. He's been out

<v Speaker 1>for almost a year and a half. And let me

<v Speaker 1>tell you, my god, if anybody has been missed on

<v Speaker 1>that SmackDown brand, it is Kevin Owens. I've certainly missed him.

<v Speaker 1>That show could certainly use him. And now he's back

<v Speaker 1>and he looks great, looks slimmer right. It looks like

<v Speaker 1>he's dropped some weight. He was added as a last

<v Speaker 1>minute addition to the Number one Contenders match, and Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Owens is going to be challenging CM Punk when we

<v Speaker 1>don't know, but he is next in line now to

<v Speaker 1>challenge CM Punk for the WWE Championship. I've been talking

<v Speaker 1>about this for a while. I said, Man, if there's

<v Speaker 1>one match that I have been waiting to see since

<v Speaker 1>Punk came back to the company in twenty twenty three,

<v Speaker 1>it is CM Punk and Kevin Owens. Not only are

<v Speaker 1>we on the precipice of it here, but it will

<v Speaker 1>be for the WWE Championship. And no one is happier

<v Speaker 1>about that than I am. That put a smile on

<v Speaker 1>my face. That was a great way to open the

<v Speaker 1>show today. Another moment the return of Kevin Owens. Last night,

<v Speaker 1>it was the return of Randy Orton. Tonight it was

<v Speaker 1>the return of Kevin Owens, who we actually had wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>Orton didn't wrestle last night. Kevin Owens wrestled on this

<v Speaker 1>show unannounced, unscheduled, not promoted. Nice surprise there for the

<v Speaker 1>fans and the building. Nice surprise for the fans at home.

<v Speaker 1>So again, when I look back at this night too,

<v Speaker 1>there were just more of those moments that I can

<v Speaker 1>look at and say, Okay, this made for a more

<v Speaker 1>enjoyable show than Night one, and I thought the matches

<v Speaker 1>on the whole were better. I thought that you compare

<v Speaker 1>it to like last year, you know what? It reminded

<v Speaker 1>me of actually last year now that I think about it.

<v Speaker 1>The Night two main event at MetLife, John Cena and

<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhodes. They went out there and then they had

<v Speaker 1>a bad match at WrestleMania, but they went out there

<v Speaker 1>at SummerSlam. It was like Sina had something to prove

<v Speaker 1>that was actually like his last truly great match of

<v Speaker 1>his career was the one against Cody. They went out

<v Speaker 1>there and had an almost forty minute main event that

<v Speaker 1>was fucking awesome. One of the matches all year. Roman

<v Speaker 1>in Seth was very similar to that. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>Roman and Seth is going to be, you know, the

<v Speaker 1>match of the year at the end of the year

<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. But they went out there on

<v Speaker 1>Night two and they had this thirty plus minute, you know,

<v Speaker 1>epic encounter that was clearly their goal going out there.

<v Speaker 1>So very similar to Night too of Summer Slim last year,

<v Speaker 1>I would say that this was this Tonight was the

<v Speaker 1>thumbs up show on the whole, which I think makes

<v Speaker 1>it overall the thumbs up Summerslim because I said last

<v Speaker 1>night the show was not bad, it just wasn't all

<v Speaker 1>that good. It was very middle of the road. Last night,

<v Speaker 1>I said six out of ten. I would say with

<v Speaker 1>tonight's show, SummerSlam overall, if I had a I think

<v Speaker 1>it bumps it up to a seven out of ten.

<v Speaker 1>I can't go higher than that, but I think seven

<v Speaker 1>out of ten is fair. So in the end, you know, Summerslim,

<v Speaker 1>it was always going to come down to how much

<v Speaker 1>time do they give the talent to go out there

<v Speaker 1>and do what they need to do. I think that

<v Speaker 1>score would have been a bit higher had some of

<v Speaker 1>those matches been given more time to marinate. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>saying give them too much time, because you can go

<v Speaker 1>overtime and then you kind of lose the crowd. But

<v Speaker 1>like that Gable and Penta match is a prime example

<v Speaker 1>of Man, if those guys just could have had another

<v Speaker 1>five or six or seven minutes to really kind of

<v Speaker 1>whip that crowd into a frenzy, that would have made

<v Speaker 1>it so much better. So if there was one really

<v Speaker 1>noticeable critique, and there is more than one, but if

<v Speaker 1>there's one that really I keep coming back to for

<v Speaker 1>this weekend. You know, these matches, there've got some very

<v Speaker 1>short matches on these shows. I don't want to see

<v Speaker 1>all these matches is going twenty minutes. But the ones

<v Speaker 1>that you would think should get twenty minutes or fifteen minutes,

<v Speaker 1>they didn't get it, you know, they didn't get it,

<v Speaker 1>and they didn't get it for reasons that I don't

<v Speaker 1>think are acceptable. These long extended breaks. And obviously they

<v Speaker 1>have all the commercials and everything, and it's kind of

<v Speaker 1>the era that we're in that never used to be

<v Speaker 1>a thing when it came to the pay per views

<v Speaker 1>in the pl E era, it's no different than a

<v Speaker 1>television show, right. See, it's littered with commercials and you

<v Speaker 1>gotta find time for all that. And I understand it.

<v Speaker 1>We have the elaborate entrances and that takes ten to

<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes, you know, per match, But you have two nights,

<v Speaker 1>and you would think by having two nights it would

<v Speaker 1>allow them some breathing room to give some of these

<v Speaker 1>matches more time. And there were multiple instances on this,

<v Speaker 1>not just tonight, but really this weekend where I felt like, man,

<v Speaker 1>this thing is just really getting good and then it

<v Speaker 1>was over. That's how I felt with brocket Obal last night.

<v Speaker 1>It was just about to kick into that next gear

<v Speaker 1>and then it was over. It's like, well, there could

<v Speaker 1>have been so much more there, but you'll left some

<v Speaker 1>meat on the bone, but on the whole. I have

<v Speaker 1>to give this weekend a thumbs up. This is your

<v Speaker 1>Summer Slam Night two review. It is August second, twenty

<v Speaker 1>twenty six. I am a solemn monster. Thank you guys

<v Speaker 1>for the second straight night for hanging out with me.

<v Speaker 1>We had fun last night. Let's have some fun tonight.

<v Speaker 1>I already see some red bombs here. I'm gonna get

<v Speaker 1>to those guys here first, and then I'm gonna get

<v Speaker 1>to your superchats a little bit later on as we

<v Speaker 1>go along. Superchats are open for those who want to

<v Speaker 1>drop some support. If you have questions, comments, what did

<v Speaker 1>you think? How would you great? Night two? Night one?

<v Speaker 1>Let me know so get them on in special donation

<v Speaker 1>amounts we're in the description down below, and welcome to

<v Speaker 1>all of our new subscribers. We recently broke ninety three thousand,

<v Speaker 1>So thank you to all of the new subs and

<v Speaker 1>hit that like button. We are going to spin the

<v Speaker 1>wheel right now, and we're going to find out how

<v Speaker 1>many likes we need on this video to do our

<v Speaker 1>Be the Booker segment. If you've never been a part

<v Speaker 1>of it, it's a lot of fun. I feel like

<v Speaker 1>we had some fun with it last night, some interesting

<v Speaker 1>matchup that we booked four hundred likes. You know what,

<v Speaker 1>I just realized I shouldn't have even bothered spinning the wheel.

<v Speaker 1>I should have just assigned a big number. We're already

<v Speaker 1>at four fifteen, so we have to spin this again

<v Speaker 1>because we've already hit the goal. That's not fair. We

<v Speaker 1>can't do that that happens again. I'm just gonna okay,

<v Speaker 1>all right, So we're gonna put the wheel away. You know,

<v Speaker 1>on like big nights like this, I shouldn't use the wheel.

<v Speaker 1>Say here's what we're gonna do. I'll make the goal

<v Speaker 1>seven fifty. We're going to do that seven hundred and

<v Speaker 1>fifty likes minimum. We hit that, we'll do be the Booker.

<v Speaker 1>That's the goal. Hey, Eric Henry, welcome to the Channel

<v Speaker 1>and all of our other new subs. Uh, but we

<v Speaker 1>had where is it? It just came in? Uh? No message.

<v Speaker 1>But King Nader, King Nator is in with a one

<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars super chat bomb, and we actually had a couple.

<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, we had a couple of other bombs. I

<v Speaker 1>want to mention them and nimb'll we'll get into it

<v Speaker 1>here Buck that tree Jersey authentic. That's right, thank you

<v Speaker 1>Jersey authentic. But before I went live tonight, Hey, Joshua,

<v Speaker 1>I want to say thank you to josh josh dropped

<v Speaker 1>not one, but two one hundred dollars bombs. Hey, Solo

<v Speaker 1>just wanted to get your thoughts on. Rather than Brock

<v Speaker 1>versus Oba in Helen of Cell should have been Roman

<v Speaker 1>reigns against seth Rawlins inside the cell, with their history,

<v Speaker 1>I think that would have been a good blowoff match

<v Speaker 1>to their feud. Oba and Brock did not need the cell. No,

<v Speaker 1>they didn't, And I had to spend part of my

<v Speaker 1>day batting away. You know a bunch of people who

<v Speaker 1>insisted that I was wrong in my opinion. Apparently I'm wrong.

<v Speaker 1>I don't get the lore. Don't you see what Brock

<v Speaker 1>was trying to do? Solomon, Yes, I do, and I

<v Speaker 1>don't give a shit. The match did not need the cell,

<v Speaker 1>So you're one hundred percent right about that. The idea

<v Speaker 1>of Roman and stepping in the cell, Yeah, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>there's enough history there. And I'll tell you one thing

<v Speaker 1>I can guarantee you if Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>went with the Helen of Cell stipulation, they would have

<v Speaker 1>made that hell and a cell a hell of a

<v Speaker 1>lot more entertaining than Brock and Oba did in their

<v Speaker 1>match last night. So as Helen of Cell matches go,

<v Speaker 1>we would have gotten a much better one this weekend.

<v Speaker 1>So I agree with you on that one hundred percent.

<v Speaker 1>And then he also says I'm a stone cold e

<v Speaker 1>T and JS Warrior nineteen. I have sent super chats

<v Speaker 1>in the past. I just wanted to thank you and

<v Speaker 1>JD for your coverage of the product in its worst times.

<v Speaker 1>You watch it so I don't have to. When do

<v Speaker 1>you think the product peaked? Oh, after Cody finished his story. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>after WrestleMania forty and that big epic main event, that

<v Speaker 1>was the peak. That was the peak for sure. Right,

<v Speaker 1>They're still doing good business, but they're not doing the

<v Speaker 1>kind of business they were doing a year ago, or

<v Speaker 1>you know, in the aftermath of that wrestle media it

<v Speaker 1>started to trend downward. So but thank you, brother, I

<v Speaker 1>very much appreciate the love. Let's get into the review.

<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take you through everything that happened here

<v Speaker 1>in nine two, and again I thank you the nearly

<v Speaker 1>two thousand that are already congregated here with us here

<v Speaker 1>this evening as we Uh boy, I probably should have

<v Speaker 1>set that like skull a little bit higher. Anyway, Night

<v Speaker 1>two opened with a number one contenders match for the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Championship. Now it was supposed to be Sammy Zain

<v Speaker 1>one on one with Finn Balor. Before the match was

<v Speaker 1>about to begin, both men are in the ring. Out

<v Speaker 1>comes Nick Aldis once again the general manager of SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>Because if you didn't see the post show last night,

<v Speaker 1>Triple H he handed him his letter of resignation. Uh

<v Speaker 1>not that Triple H. Oh, I probably got a bunch

<v Speaker 1>of you excited right there. Triple H did not hand

<v Speaker 1>in his letter of resignation. Nick allD Is handed in

<v Speaker 1>his letter of resignation as the SmackDown GM because he

<v Speaker 1>felt like by taking I get taking the match with Gunther.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I guess he felt like Triple H

<v Speaker 1>would feel he was derelict in his duties or couldn't

<v Speaker 1>be unbiased from now on. I don't I don't know

<v Speaker 1>what the logic there was, but Triple H ripped it

<v Speaker 1>up and said, you're reinstated. I'm not going to fire you.

<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm not going to or or I'm not going

<v Speaker 1>to accept this resignation. So he's back to being the

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown GM and he walks out on stage and he

<v Speaker 1>announces that in the interest of fairness and doing what

<v Speaker 1>is best for business, there was an addition that he

<v Speaker 1>has made to the following contest. An outwalked Gunther, the

<v Speaker 1>man who beat all this last night in Night one,

<v Speaker 1>which I thought was one of the more enjoyable matches

<v Speaker 1>frankly of Night one. Gunther walks out. He's playing double

<v Speaker 1>duty this weekend. He walks out, he's laughing at all this,

<v Speaker 1>he's mocking the black Eye that all this was sporting.

<v Speaker 1>But he put his hand out for a handshake and

<v Speaker 1>all this shook his hands and down to the ring

<v Speaker 1>goes Gunther. And I'm thinking to myself, you know, it's

<v Speaker 1>only fair if you think about it because he did

<v Speaker 1>fuck this guy over at Madison Square Garden. He interfered

<v Speaker 1>in the tag match. He cost Gunther the chance to

<v Speaker 1>be a part of a World Championship match at Summerslim.

<v Speaker 1>So he's owed a rematch for the title and or

<v Speaker 1>a match I should say for the title. And so

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, all this is making amends for

<v Speaker 1>the mistakes that he's made. It's only fair right you

<v Speaker 1>give gun Through the chance to become number one contender.

<v Speaker 1>But he wasn't done yet. He I never said I

<v Speaker 1>was done adding people here to this match. So this

<v Speaker 1>was a triple threat match for about sixty seconds, and

<v Speaker 1>he goes there's one more name to be added, and

<v Speaker 1>we had the long dramatic pause, and then they play

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens music and all thirty five thousand plus inside

<v Speaker 1>the US Bank Stadium they went crazy. And I had

<v Speaker 1>a big smile on my face because the reports were

<v Speaker 1>out there, and I think Meltzer was the one who

<v Speaker 1>really broke it. In The Observer on Friday said that

<v Speaker 1>it appears to be sources are telling him that both

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton and Kevin Owens are very close to a return.

<v Speaker 1>That was the language he used very close to a return. Well,

<v Speaker 1>we got Randy Yorton on night one, and we got

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens on night too, so I would say that

<v Speaker 1>report was pretty bang on. He comes out, he's definitely

<v Speaker 1>slimmer than the last time we saw him, and the

<v Speaker 1>place is just showering him with love, and he's taking

<v Speaker 1>it all in. Sammy's ain't is in the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>is floored by this. He's not even like expressing happiness

<v Speaker 1>or sadness or anger. He's just stunned. He had no

<v Speaker 1>idea that this was coming. So it's been almost a

<v Speaker 1>year and a half he's been out with or following

<v Speaker 1>nex fusion surgery. I don't think it's quite eighteen months.

<v Speaker 1>They said eighteen months a few times. I'm pretty sure

<v Speaker 1>the last match he had would have been the elimination chamber,

<v Speaker 1>which I think was March first of last year. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think he actually had the surgery even until a

<v Speaker 1>year ago, like in July. But it's been too long.

<v Speaker 1>It's been far too long. So I was very happy.

<v Speaker 1>They showed a woman in the crowd crying and it

<v Speaker 1>wasn't his wife or anything like that, just some random

<v Speaker 1>female fan in the crowd. She was in tears as

<v Speaker 1>she was filming this with her phone. She was so excited.

<v Speaker 1>So Owens took out Balor and gun Through with cannon

<v Speaker 1>balls in the corner, and then he and Zane came

<v Speaker 1>face to face for the first time and the two

<v Speaker 1>of them embraced and then they started firing shots at

<v Speaker 1>each other because they will indeed fight forever. So they're

<v Speaker 1>slugging it out in the middle of the ring. So

<v Speaker 1>when all three opponents ended up on the floor, Owens

<v Speaker 1>went to the top. He took them all out with

<v Speaker 1>a flip dive from the top back inside, Owen's hit

<v Speaker 1>gun Through with a swanton. Owens went for a stunner.

<v Speaker 1>Gunther countered into a sleeper and Sammy and Balor they

<v Speaker 1>broke that up. So then we got a nice exchange

<v Speaker 1>briefly between Gunther and Balor. I would not mind seeing

<v Speaker 1>that as a program coming out of this show. Gun

<v Speaker 1>Through power Balor he locked him in a Boston crab.

<v Speaker 1>Owens broke that up. So then on the ropes, Baalor

<v Speaker 1>tried for a superplex, Owens countered into a twisting Fisherman superplex.

<v Speaker 1>Sammy then dumped Owens out of the ring. He tried

<v Speaker 1>to steal the pin. It did not work. Later on,

<v Speaker 1>Sammy went for the halluva kick to Owens, but Gunther

<v Speaker 1>intercepted him. He was outside and he slid in just

<v Speaker 1>in time to interrupt. He applied the sleeper balor, though

<v Speaker 1>came off the top with a double stump. He covered Sammy,

<v Speaker 1>who was either supposed to kick out or I think

<v Speaker 1>Gunther was supposed to kind of throw an arm over

<v Speaker 1>and break things up. He did, but it was after

<v Speaker 1>the three count, so he did technically get the three count.

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

<v Speaker 1>we'll pretend that it wasn't three. Owens had a stunner

<v Speaker 1>on Gunther. He tried for one on Sammy, who countered

<v Speaker 1>into a blue Thunderbob. He tried for another halluva kick. Owens, though,

<v Speaker 1>cut him off with a superkick and then dropped him

<v Speaker 1>with a stunner, and he got the pin to become

<v Speaker 1>the number one contender to the WA title. Excellent sprint

<v Speaker 1>here for an opener and welcome back Kevin Owens. So

<v Speaker 1>not only do we get him back on SmackDown, but

<v Speaker 1>they are not wasting any time in giving us the

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens CM punk match that I've been waiting to

<v Speaker 1>see for a very long time. We're going right to

<v Speaker 1>double jeopardy here. The game just started. We're already in

<v Speaker 1>the final round. And I don't know if they're going

<v Speaker 1>to do it on TV in the next few weeks.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is something they might want

<v Speaker 1>to save. They don't have another pl this month, and

<v Speaker 1>the next big event quote unquote big event would be

<v Speaker 1>Sunday Night's main event, which is not for another month.

<v Speaker 1>It's not until the Sunday before Labor Day, so I

<v Speaker 1>don't know exactly what the day. I mean. I assume

<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be this Friday. I hope not,

<v Speaker 1>although I'll tell you what, boy, would that be in line? Right?

<v Speaker 1>Because if they did a WWE title match on SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>this Friday, that would be the third time this year

<v Speaker 1>I would be missing one for a House of show.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe I should be expecting it to take place on Friday.

<v Speaker 1>They would do that. Hopefully they delay it to the

<v Speaker 1>following Friday. If they're gonna do it on TV, Sammy's ain. Look,

<v Speaker 1>it feeds into this new gimmick, right justice for Sammy.

<v Speaker 1>Sammy once again gets screwed. This was supposed to be

<v Speaker 1>a singles match. He was already pissed that he even

<v Speaker 1>had to do this match in the first place, and

<v Speaker 1>then at the very last minute he's already in the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and all this adds two more people to the match.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, everything Sammy says is right. He has been

<v Speaker 1>screwed over time and time again. I stand with Sammy,

<v Speaker 1>So I mean, his crusade will continue, his crusade for justice.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know, it would be interesting

<v Speaker 1>to see the interaction between him and Owens come smack

<v Speaker 1>down on Friday. My only critique, and this is again

<v Speaker 1>my overall critique of a lot of different matches this weekend,

<v Speaker 1>but especially this match. Here they went eight minutes. I

<v Speaker 1>could have used another ten from these guys. Give me

<v Speaker 1>another eight to ten minutes from these four. Look at

<v Speaker 1>the four guys you had in this match. You had Gunther,

<v Speaker 1>you had Balor, you had Owens, you had Zane. You

<v Speaker 1>give them eight minutes this this went far too short.

<v Speaker 1>I was wanting more from these guys. That's really the

<v Speaker 1>only critique I have. Otherwise, I thought this was an

<v Speaker 1>excellent opener. Look, get Richie rich over here dropping all

<v Speaker 1>this money on me. Hey, I just want you to

<v Speaker 1>know this from earlier. I think you rock. I don't

<v Speaker 1>mean the rock a rock, you rock. And I just

<v Speaker 1>wanted you to know that. There he is, King King

<v Speaker 1>Nader dropping a bomb, no message, just wanted to show

<v Speaker 1>some love. Hey, who's that commissioner guy being pushed around here?

<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. I think that guy should stand

<v Speaker 1>up for himself. What do you think? There you go? Say?

<v Speaker 1>There you go. You got to stand up for yourself.

<v Speaker 1>You got it. Sometimes you just have to fight back.

<v Speaker 1>When life wants to fight you, you gotta say fuck you

<v Speaker 1>and fight back. I like that guy. So the next match,

<v Speaker 1>we had Trick Williams defending the United States Championship against

<v Speaker 1>Baron Corbin in Baron Corbin's first match in a WWE ring.

<v Speaker 1>Since when was he released? Twenty twenty four? Right, he's

<v Speaker 1>been gone for a couple of years. I think you

<v Speaker 1>know who else was back? He's been missing for the

<v Speaker 1>last few weeks. Lil YACHTI he was back. He got

<v Speaker 1>his own entrance too, came out on stage, and it

<v Speaker 1>was very brief. He came out to introduce Trick Williams

<v Speaker 1>so early on here Trick pulled out a slim gym table.

<v Speaker 1>I'm talking like the first minute or two of the match,

<v Speaker 1>he went to the floor and he pulls out a

<v Speaker 1>slim gym table, and I was fuse because first of all,

<v Speaker 1>the match just started, and second of all, it is

<v Speaker 1>not a notice qualification match, so I wasn't quite sure

<v Speaker 1>why we were already getting tables in this match, But

<v Speaker 1>it was to set up a very dumb spot at

<v Speaker 1>the finish with Little Yachti. But because Trick was fots

<v Speaker 1>and around outside with the table, he ended up getting

<v Speaker 1>caught by Corbin with a deep six on the floor.

<v Speaker 1>So Corbin got in Yati's face outside he shoved him down.

<v Speaker 1>Yachti grabbed his trusty kendo stick and Corbin retreated back

<v Speaker 1>into the ring where Trick was waiting for him. So

<v Speaker 1>we got a leaping neck breaker and a bookend for

<v Speaker 1>a two count Yadi then hit Corbin with a kendo

<v Speaker 1>stick from the floor as he was running the ropes,

<v Speaker 1>and the referee didn't see it. A little bit later on,

<v Speaker 1>Corbyn grabbed the US title and Yadi confronted him and

<v Speaker 1>Trick nailed him, or Trick nailed Corbyn. That is not YACHTI,

<v Speaker 1>but in doing so, because Corbyn was out on the

<v Speaker 1>apron and YACHTI was on the apron. Trick nails Corbin,

<v Speaker 1>Corbin nails Yadi. Yadi goes flying off the Apron through

<v Speaker 1>a table, the slim gym table that I mentioned from earlier,

<v Speaker 1>and I say he went through the table kind of

<v Speaker 1>so when he collided with the table on the way down,

<v Speaker 1>the table did technically break, but he didn't really go

<v Speaker 1>through it so much as he bounced and rolled off

<v Speaker 1>of it. You know what, it actually reminded me of,

<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't nearly as bad. It reminded me of

<v Speaker 1>Stokely Hathaway and the spot from the FTR match with

<v Speaker 1>the Bang Banggang at World's End last year where Stokely

<v Speaker 1>got bumped off the Apron and he literally bumped off

<v Speaker 1>of the table. There was a table on the floor.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think the table broke at all. He literally

<v Speaker 1>bounced and slid off of it. He took this horrible

<v Speaker 1>bump to the floor. This wasn't quite that bad, but

<v Speaker 1>watching Yati kind of bounce off the table, it reminded

<v Speaker 1>me very much the first thing I thought of with Stokely.

<v Speaker 1>It's a Trick. He looks shocked. Yeah, he's looking down

<v Speaker 1>at YACHTI. He's very like, oh my god, I can't

<v Speaker 1>believe this happened. And off that distraction, Corbyn grabs the

<v Speaker 1>US title and he blasts Trick in the head with it.

<v Speaker 1>The referee was focused on YACHTI, so he didn't see it.

<v Speaker 1>Corbin followed up with the end of Days, and I

<v Speaker 1>knew right then and there the match was over because

<v Speaker 1>the end of Days is the most protected move in

<v Speaker 1>all of wrestling. I've only ever seen somebody kick out

<v Speaker 1>of it once, and that was Drew MacIntyre at WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>That's it. The most protected finish in wrestler. We don't

<v Speaker 1>have too many of those these days. Unfortunately, we are

<v Speaker 1>in an era of wrestling in all companies where everybody

<v Speaker 1>kicks out of everything. So there's no finishing move that's

<v Speaker 1>really protected or valued anymore to where when somebody hits it,

<v Speaker 1>it truly is a finish. There really aren't any finishing

<v Speaker 1>moves anymore in wrestling. I think we should stop calling

<v Speaker 1>them finishing moves because more often than not, they don't

<v Speaker 1>finish anybody, you know, when it takes Cody Rhodes three

<v Speaker 1>times to hit a crossroads and be able to pin somebody.

<v Speaker 1>Can you really call the crossroads his finishing move. It's

<v Speaker 1>a move, it's one of his signature moves, but can

<v Speaker 1>we really call it a finishing move. I don't think so.

<v Speaker 1>The end of days, though, that's a finishing move. And

<v Speaker 1>so he wins the United States Championship second straight match

<v Speaker 1>of less than ten minutes here on this show. I

<v Speaker 1>thought the match was It was decent. Yeah, it was

<v Speaker 1>decent to best. Honestly, I felt the same way about

<v Speaker 1>Trick's match with Sammy that WrestleMania. It was okay, you know,

<v Speaker 1>but it really wasn't anything special. I'm still waiting for

<v Speaker 1>Trick Williams to have that one match on the main

<v Speaker 1>roster that really grabs my attention and I can look

<v Speaker 1>at it and go, wow, Okay, that's the best match

<v Speaker 1>I've seen him have so far here on the main roster.

<v Speaker 1>He hasn't had it yet. I don't know who it's

<v Speaker 1>going to be against. I don't know how much longer

<v Speaker 1>we have to wait to see it. You know. I

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say Trick is terrible, but he's clearly not as

<v Speaker 1>advanced in the ring as a lot of the other

<v Speaker 1>people that we have seen, you know, gotten called up

<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years. So again, you know,

<v Speaker 1>it was decent to best, but it was Corbin's first

<v Speaker 1>match back, and so why would you beat him? You know,

<v Speaker 1>why even put him in this position if you're just

<v Speaker 1>going to have him go in there and lose. So

<v Speaker 1>I felt like him winning. That's why I said coming

<v Speaker 1>into the show, Corbyn will win the US title because

<v Speaker 1>it just made sense to me. Now you could say,

<v Speaker 1>well that's you know, why would you end Trick's rain,

<v Speaker 1>Why would you have him lose to Baron Corbyn of

<v Speaker 1>all people? Well, because Corbyn's the one they've chosen to

<v Speaker 1>go with as the heel for him to chase. And

<v Speaker 1>I think Trick and Chase mode works. I think now

<v Speaker 1>that Corbyn has the championship, you have Trick and you

<v Speaker 1>have Carmelo Hayes in Chase mode. And yes, I'm throwing

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo Hayes in there because he needs to be a

<v Speaker 1>part of this. He wasn't on the car tonight, which

<v Speaker 1>was ridiculous. Hopefully that just means they're saving him to

<v Speaker 1>kind of reinsert him into things now starting on Friday,

<v Speaker 1>coming out of this show. Only now the title is

<v Speaker 1>on you know, the heel, and he's gonna have to

<v Speaker 1>fight Trick for that spot, and maybe at the next

<v Speaker 1>pl we end up getting a triple threat with all

<v Speaker 1>three involved. Even Corbin himself on social media was agreeing

<v Speaker 1>with fans and saying, hey, he should be a part

<v Speaker 1>of this match. Carmelo Hayes should be a part of

<v Speaker 1>this match, but he wasn't, so now they can chase

<v Speaker 1>for it. But here's here's the better reason that I'm

<v Speaker 1>very happy that Baron Corbin won that championship tonight because

<v Speaker 1>now he can shave that shit off the belt. He

<v Speaker 1>looked completely ridiculous when he won this title and he

<v Speaker 1>was holding it up and it's got all the fur

<v Speaker 1>like off the sides of it, and if Trick is

<v Speaker 1>holding it a fit, it's the gimmick. But for Baron

<v Speaker 1>Corbin to be standing there with that belt, he looked,

<v Speaker 1>it looked preposterous. So I hope the first thing we

<v Speaker 1>see him do on Friday is he shows up on

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown and he gives that belt a haircut. That's the

<v Speaker 1>first order of business. Come smack Down. No more furry belt. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>no more furbies on the show. Then we had the

<v Speaker 1>five way ladder match to crown an interim women's champion

<v Speaker 1>because Rhea Ripley is hurt and they're too afraid to

<v Speaker 1>take the title off of her. She is uber protected here.

<v Speaker 1>We don't want to take the championship away from her.

<v Speaker 1>She could be back any week. So instead we're going

<v Speaker 1>to create this fake belt, which again we already have

<v Speaker 1>the one fake belt, but this is even more fake.

<v Speaker 1>We're going to create another fake belt here and have

<v Speaker 1>a pretend champion until the real champion is able to

<v Speaker 1>come back. And we had qualifying matches on TV, and

<v Speaker 1>so we ended up with Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratt,

<v Speaker 1>Minnesota's own Tiffity Stradden, and we had Chelsea Green and

<v Speaker 1>we had Lash Legend who beat Julia in two minutes

<v Speaker 1>flat on SmackDown this past Friday. I wonder how the

<v Speaker 1>cookies and cakes were in catering backstage. I'm sure Julia

<v Speaker 1>was back there tonight. Perhaps she can maybe start a

<v Speaker 1>food blog. Maybe she could start like a food vlog

<v Speaker 1>on her ig stories or TikTok or something, and she

<v Speaker 1>could take us through all of the different catering options

<v Speaker 1>they have in the back. I would watch that. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Jeff Roberts, just subscribe. I think Jeff would watch that too. Jeff,

<v Speaker 1>would you watch Julia since she's not doing much in

<v Speaker 1>the way of wrestling on the actual television show. If

<v Speaker 1>they had Julia do a foodvlog, I would watch that

<v Speaker 1>may as well, if she's not really doing anything else.

<v Speaker 1>So anyway, that's how lash Legend qualified here. Not much

<v Speaker 1>of a reaction for Tiffany Stratton coming out. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if it was maybe maybe it came across better

<v Speaker 1>in the building, but I was expecting something, you know,

<v Speaker 1>given that she's a Minnesota girl. Wasn't as loud as

<v Speaker 1>I thought it would be. Jade Cargill came out. They

<v Speaker 1>said she was wearing an outfit that was inspired by

<v Speaker 1>Prince a lot of purple in the outfit. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>that's not what I was really looking at in the outfit,

<v Speaker 1>but she was wearing purple in her outfit. And they

<v Speaker 1>said that Charlotte's gear was a tribute to Scarlett, who

<v Speaker 1>was the little girl with brain cancer that she grew

<v Speaker 1>very close with, who sadly passed away recently. Apparently her

<v Speaker 1>family was in attendance, so I thought that was very cool. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I said earlier coming into this, this is going to

<v Speaker 1>be really good and exceed my expectations, or this is

<v Speaker 1>going to be a mess. There's no one between. This

<v Speaker 1>was largely a mess. It was pretty much in the

<v Speaker 1>line with what I expected it to be. And you

<v Speaker 1>had they said, like Jade for the first time in

<v Speaker 1>a ladder match. Jade had never been in one before.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this was Lash's first ladder match.

<v Speaker 1>It may not have been. Maybe it was, no you

<v Speaker 1>know what I think it was. Lash was in War

<v Speaker 1>Games for the first time last year, so maybe that's

<v Speaker 1>what it was. But anyway, so, yeah, this was a mess.

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany Stratton, she had some of the biggest bumps in

<v Speaker 1>this match. There was one spot that they did where

<v Speaker 1>she was on the ropes with Lash and she went

<v Speaker 1>to go give her a raana off the ropes, and

<v Speaker 1>there was a ladder that had been set below like

<v Speaker 1>a ladder bridge, but it was like a ladder that

<v Speaker 1>they laid flat in between the ropes right below them,

<v Speaker 1>like a little platform, and so instead of Lash going

<v Speaker 1>over for the raana, she held on to Tiffany and

<v Speaker 1>She just power bombed her straight down hard onto the ladder,

<v Speaker 1>and Tiffany took this hillacious bump, bounced off the ladder.

<v Speaker 1>She landed on the mat, rolled out of the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and she was screaming in agony. Charlotte climbed the ladder.

<v Speaker 1>This was a few minutes later. This was the other

<v Speaker 1>I guess big Spot, if you want to call it,

<v Speaker 1>that one of them. She's climbing and she grabs the belt.

<v Speaker 1>She's got her hands on the belt, but she's got

<v Speaker 1>to slow herself down, right because the spot was that

<v Speaker 1>Jade and Lash we're gonna each grab one of her legs.

<v Speaker 1>They're gonna pull the ladder away, which they did. Charlotte

<v Speaker 1>is now dangling in the air. Jade is gonna grab

<v Speaker 1>one of her legs. Lash is going to grab the other,

<v Speaker 1>and I think it was the leg that Lash grabbed.

<v Speaker 1>Charlotte has the brace on her knee, so I'm looking

<v Speaker 1>at that brace and I'm like, oh, God, Like, if

<v Speaker 1>they pull her down, I hope the plan is not

<v Speaker 1>for her to just come straight down on her legs

<v Speaker 1>because she's got that fucking brace on. You know, she's

<v Speaker 1>had the knee problems before. The spot was that they

<v Speaker 1>were going to yank her down and they would catch her.

<v Speaker 1>That was the idea. I will say, this could have

<v Speaker 1>This could have ended a lot worse. They didn't really

<v Speaker 1>catch her, you know, cleanly. She still kind of lands

<v Speaker 1>that on her feet a little bit. They kind of

<v Speaker 1>caught her. At least they avoided catastrophe, because, like I said,

<v Speaker 1>this could have ended very badly. But they catch her,

<v Speaker 1>and so Jade has her, and Jade basically sort of

<v Speaker 1>swings her into lash and Charlotte ended up getting slammed

<v Speaker 1>on another ladder that was leaned up in the corner,

<v Speaker 1>and then she rolled out of the ring. Stratton climbed

<v Speaker 1>the ladder. She was reaching up for the championship. She

<v Speaker 1>was right there. Chelsea Green rolls into the ring and

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany looks down at Chelsea and Chelsea looks up at her. Right.

<v Speaker 1>They've been they've become friends in recent months. And Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>tips the ladder over, and when she tips the ladder over,

<v Speaker 1>Stratton flies down to the other three women who were

<v Speaker 1>all congregated outside below, basically did a cannon ball and

<v Speaker 1>everyone in the pilo is down. So now the crowd

<v Speaker 1>is loudly behind Chelsea green because they realize, oh shit,

<v Speaker 1>everyone's down. This is her chance, this is her moment.

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea could do this. Holy shit. And Chelsea begins to climb,

<v Speaker 1>and you hear the booze because here come the batties.

<v Speaker 1>B Fab and Meechen come down to the ring. Nobody

<v Speaker 1>wanted to see Beefab or Mechin in this match, so

<v Speaker 1>they come down and they stop Chelsea from climbing, and

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea gets caught in between the rungs of the ladder

<v Speaker 1>and they hang her upside down basically like at a

<v Speaker 1>tree of woe, but in the ladder, and they start,

<v Speaker 1>you know, putting the boots to her and working her

<v Speaker 1>over while she's hanging upside down. So they helped Jade

<v Speaker 1>back into the ring. They try to help Jade climb

<v Speaker 1>this ladder. Charlotte gets back into the ring, she takes

<v Speaker 1>out Beefab, she takes out Meechin. Charlotte eventually joins Jade

<v Speaker 1>on the ladder right there on opposite sides. Now Here

<v Speaker 1>comes Tiffany and here comes Lash, so they joined them.

<v Speaker 1>They end up getting knocked off, and then Flare and

<v Speaker 1>Jade they took this kind of awkward bump. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know what they were trying to do, but they kind

<v Speaker 1>of they went flying off the ladder at the same time.

<v Speaker 1>Down below. It was just a very weird bump. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know how else to really describe it. It was

<v Speaker 1>just a weird bump and a weird landing. Chelsea is

<v Speaker 1>still now the only one in the ring, but she's

<v Speaker 1>still hanging upside down in between the rungs of the ladder,

<v Speaker 1>and everyone's cheering for her and they're chanting her name,

<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, Chelsea she sits up and

<v Speaker 1>everyone's going crazy and she starts climbing the ladder. There's

<v Speaker 1>nobody else around. Chelsea reaches up and she pulls down

<v Speaker 1>the championship and again they got that wide shot and

<v Speaker 1>everybody is jumping up and down and going crazy. It

<v Speaker 1>reminded me of I just watched this not that long ago.

<v Speaker 1>They actually have had some summer slim marathons that they

<v Speaker 1>have been running on their Vault channel on YouTube, so

<v Speaker 1>it was probably on there. I saw the Rock Triple

<v Speaker 1>H ladder match for Madison Squarego, which was a much

<v Speaker 1>better match, by the way, but the finish was very

<v Speaker 1>similar in that you have this babyface and the fans,

<v Speaker 1>you're cheering for him, and he's reaching up and he

<v Speaker 1>grabs the belt, and as soon as he pulls the

<v Speaker 1>belt that you just see everybody in the background just

<v Speaker 1>go nuts, right, They start jumping up and down. They

<v Speaker 1>had more people in the building here than they did

<v Speaker 1>in Madison Square Garden that night. But that was a

<v Speaker 1>much better match than this one. But it was just

<v Speaker 1>a great moment. And Chelsea is sitting on top of

<v Speaker 1>the ladder and she's got the title. And again, I

<v Speaker 1>wish I could tell you that the match itself was better,

<v Speaker 1>but it really wasn't. It really was, and it was

<v Speaker 1>not a great match. I was happy for Chelsea. That'll

<v Speaker 1>see here get that moment. Now. Of course, it's only

<v Speaker 1>an interim title, so I'm not even sure that it

<v Speaker 1>will officially count. I mean, did they address that on commentary?

<v Speaker 1>Maybe they didn't. I missed it. But do we know

<v Speaker 1>if they're actually going to ignowl like when she inevitably

<v Speaker 1>faces Rhea Ripley and loses, will Chelsea Green go down

<v Speaker 1>in the record books as a former WWE Women's Champion.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. She shouldn't. That's not usually how this

<v Speaker 1>interim stuff is supposed to work. But see, now you're

<v Speaker 1>kind of muddying things up a little bit. I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>they'll have to clarify that, I think. I mean, look,

<v Speaker 1>you and I both know inevitably how this ends. The

<v Speaker 1>only way this doesn't end in Chelsea Green losing to

<v Speaker 1>Rhea Ripley when Ripley comes back is if the fans

<v Speaker 1>really take to Chelsea in a way that they've never

<v Speaker 1>taken to her before and they start to rally behind her,

<v Speaker 1>which is gonna be tough, just because like the fans

<v Speaker 1>love Rhea, Rhea is still super super popular, so I

<v Speaker 1>don't think they're gonna turn on Ria per se, but

<v Speaker 1>they would have to really really like Chelsea enough to her.

<v Speaker 1>When she shows up on TV this week, the people

<v Speaker 1>are just chanting her name NonStop, and they pop for

<v Speaker 1>her and they're loud for her, and they won't even

<v Speaker 1>let her speak when she tries to cut a promo

<v Speaker 1>because they should be giving her promo time. And it's

<v Speaker 1>going to have to be that way every single week.

<v Speaker 1>Everywhere they go. There has to be this like ground

<v Speaker 1>swell of support for this woman, and then maybe that

<v Speaker 1>opens their eyes to like, hey, wait a minute, here,

<v Speaker 1>we got we got something here. You see this, Michael, Hey, Michael,

<v Speaker 1>take a look at this, Look at Chelsea, and there's

<v Speaker 1>just this ground swell of support, and maybe they say,

<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll keep the belt on her a little bit longer.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll have her beat Rhea win the actual title,

<v Speaker 1>and then we'll circle back to Riha at some point.

<v Speaker 1>Very unlikely, very unlikely, because I think they have their

<v Speaker 1>eyes on Crown Jewel in a few months. You know,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think we have an official date for it yet,

<v Speaker 1>but they have their Crown Jewel Championships. They do it

<v Speaker 1>every year, so we're likely going to get it October November,

<v Speaker 1>you know, sometime around then, and it's champion against champion,

<v Speaker 1>And I just don't think that they want Chelsea Green

<v Speaker 1>to be their WWE Women's Champion against liv Morgan or

<v Speaker 1>whoever the champion is going to be at that time.

<v Speaker 1>They're gonna want Rhea Ripley in that spot. And if

<v Speaker 1>she's healthy and she's able to work, I mean, it's

<v Speaker 1>not gonna be anybody else, But that's the only way

<v Speaker 1>you want to get their attention. Hey, Triple H said

<v Speaker 1>it last night in the post show scrum. He went off, well,

<v Speaker 1>get yourself over right, we gotta listen to the crowd,

<v Speaker 1>get yourself over Okay, great, Let's see what happens. Because

<v Speaker 1>if the crowds really start chanting Chelsea Chelsea, and they're

<v Speaker 1>like up for her when she's out there, won't even

<v Speaker 1>let her speak, you would think that in the back

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna hear that. And then we'll see. We'll see

<v Speaker 1>if they practice what they preach. We'll find out. But

<v Speaker 1>it just seems very unlikely to me. So if you're

<v Speaker 1>a Chelsea Green fan, my recommendation to you would be

<v Speaker 1>enjoy this while it lasts, because this may be as

<v Speaker 1>good as it gets. Very unlikely that this is going

<v Speaker 1>to last for too much longer. I want to say, welcome,

<v Speaker 1>my boy. I was just going to welcome everybody who's here. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>King Solomon, I see your brother. Thank you for the love.

<v Speaker 1>Fuck that tree was a wonky super chat there, Hey

<v Speaker 1>death Si, thank you. Welcome to the twenty three hundred

<v Speaker 1>that we have in here with us, not the twenty

<v Speaker 1>three hundred arena in Philadelphia, the twenty three hundred in

<v Speaker 1>this live chat. What did I say? The goal was

<v Speaker 1>seven fifty. We already beat it, man, I should have

<v Speaker 1>raised it. I'm going to raise it to nine hundred.

<v Speaker 1>How about that. I'm like Nick All adding people to matches. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>this is in interesting, says hey, Solo watch Summer Slim

<v Speaker 1>in the Dome at is it cos It's Cosm? Right,

<v Speaker 1>It's not Cosum. It's Cosm in the Dome at Cosm

<v Speaker 1>A cool experience. Everyone loved rollins and rains, including me,

<v Speaker 1>But I feel it went a few minutes too long

<v Speaker 1>at the end. Yeah, I mean that's fair, that's fair.

<v Speaker 1>I mean I really enjoyed the match. Also. Yeah, every

<v Speaker 1>time they show Cosm on that big screen and they

<v Speaker 1>have like special cameras for it where like brings you

<v Speaker 1>into the ring, it looks really cool. They don't have

<v Speaker 1>that New York though, they have one. They said in

<v Speaker 1>Atlanta they have one. I think in Dallas, maybe Vegas.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know where else they have those. They had

<v Speaker 1>one in New York. I mean maybe I would. I

<v Speaker 1>probably wouldn't. I have to be here, but I would

<v Speaker 1>love to check that out one day. But I just

<v Speaker 1>don't have any of those around here. So but thank you, brother,

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the love. Just like Solo to be moving

<v Speaker 1>the goal posts, I'm telling you that's the new goal.

<v Speaker 1>We just hit eight hundred, nine hundred. Did I say

<v Speaker 1>nine hundred? I meant a thousand. A thousand likes is

<v Speaker 1>the goal. A thousand likes is easily attainable. Come on,

<v Speaker 1>you'll notice I'm doing everything in my power to avoid

<v Speaker 1>talking about this next match. How's the weather by the way, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>the weather's been awfully hot here in New York even now.

<v Speaker 1>You know I turned the AC off before. It's like

<v Speaker 1>seventy eight degrees outside. Still, yeah, it's a little uh,

<v Speaker 1>it's a little humid, you know, But uh, all right,

<v Speaker 1>I guess I have to get to this match. We

<v Speaker 1>had Dan Housen against Dominic Mysterio in a human monies

<v Speaker 1>on a pole match. Yes, think of all the names

<v Speaker 1>that were left off the Summer Slam card this year.

<v Speaker 1>Sitting in the back watching Dan Housen and Dominic Mystery

<v Speaker 1>with a human money bag on a pole, can only

<v Speaker 1>imagine what must have been going through their heads. They

<v Speaker 1>had a pole in the corner and it actually was

<v Speaker 1>not terribly high. I feel like dom probably could have

<v Speaker 1>just reached He could have just stood on the ground

<v Speaker 1>in the corner and reached up and probably grabbed the bag,

<v Speaker 1>but the white bag had a dollar sign on it,

<v Speaker 1>just so we knew that there was money in there.

<v Speaker 1>And that was hanging in the corner with the one

<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars that Dan Housen allegedly stole from the

<v Speaker 1>judgment day many many, many, many many many weeks ago.

<v Speaker 1>This story's been going on for quite some time. So

<v Speaker 1>Dan Housen made his entrance in his little dan Housen

<v Speaker 1>Mobile and then he made his way down to the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Dan Housen he was able to avoid a six y

<v Speaker 1>one nine early in this match, and he Ray dropped

<v Speaker 1>Ray dropped Dom with a souplex. Dom came back though

<v Speaker 1>with the three Amigos. Yeah, when he was doing the

<v Speaker 1>three amigos, it really hit me. They're in Minneapolis. That's

<v Speaker 1>where Eddie died. He died in a hotel room in Minneapolis.

<v Speaker 1>So anyway, Dan Housen started to climb. JD. McDonough runs out,

<v Speaker 1>we are two minutes into this match and already we

<v Speaker 1>are getting the run ins, and I'm okay with that

<v Speaker 1>because that tells me that this match is not going

<v Speaker 1>to be going for much longer, which would be great news.

<v Speaker 1>So McDonough runs into the ring to cut him off,

<v Speaker 1>and then all of the mini houses show up, so

<v Speaker 1>they climb into the ring and they attack JD and

<v Speaker 1>he's fighting him off. And then we had another one,

<v Speaker 1>and this one they referred to as Torrito Housen. Now

<v Speaker 1>Elle Turito is awesome, like as a wrestler, he's great,

<v Speaker 1>and so he was doing some spots in there with McDonough.

<v Speaker 1>McDonough was selling for him. There was like a spike

<v Speaker 1>DDT spot where he sold it like death. So he's

<v Speaker 1>actually quite great tourto We don't get to see him

<v Speaker 1>as much anymore, but there was a spot here where

<v Speaker 1>he sent McDonough out of the ring with Irana and

<v Speaker 1>then Torito Housen he hits the ropes, he comes off,

<v Speaker 1>he does a topay out of the ring, a low

<v Speaker 1>to pay obviously, and he does the topay out of

<v Speaker 1>the ring and he goes face first into the barricade.

<v Speaker 1>Now he hit the move, but just the momentum sent

<v Speaker 1>him face first careening into the barricade, almost knocked himself out.

<v Speaker 1>If you would have done I would have pissed myself laughing.

<v Speaker 1>So Dan Housen tried to go from the money again.

<v Speaker 1>McDonough stopped him. Then we hear say his name. He

<v Speaker 1>appears Joe Hendry. Was this his summer slim debut? I

<v Speaker 1>believe it was. So Joe Hendry comes out, He's got

<v Speaker 1>a guitar with him. McDonough meets him in the aisleway

<v Speaker 1>of the ramp whatever it was, and he breaks the

<v Speaker 1>guitar across mcdonnaugh's back, which was very dangerous to do

<v Speaker 1>over there because when the guitar shattered, pieces of it

<v Speaker 1>flew into the crowd. Hopefully they didn't blind anybody splintered

<v Speaker 1>off into the audience. So Dan Housen in the mysteria,

<v Speaker 1>they're they're trying to climb in the corner of the

<v Speaker 1>ring where the pole is, and he crotches dan Hausen.

<v Speaker 1>So dan Hausen is sitting right on the top rope

<v Speaker 1>and now Dom's got a clear path. All he's got

<v Speaker 1>to do is reach up and he's got to grab

<v Speaker 1>the sack. Dan Hausen is looking at him and he goes,

<v Speaker 1>you ah, cursed, and then Pyro shoots up from the

<v Speaker 1>ring post, blinding Dom, who falls down to the match.

<v Speaker 1>And then dan Housen reaches up and he grabs the

<v Speaker 1>human monies to win the match, and when the match

<v Speaker 1>was over, Dan Housen went around ringside with the Minie

<v Speaker 1>Housens and Joe Hendry and they threw the money out

<v Speaker 1>to the crowd and it wasn't real money. It was

<v Speaker 1>Dan housend dollars or whatever he calls it. And that's

<v Speaker 1>how things ended. And the best thing I can say

<v Speaker 1>about this is they kept it short. But then again,

<v Speaker 1>they kept most of the matches on this show short.

<v Speaker 1>This was not exclusive to this match, But I don't

<v Speaker 1>think I would have been able to accept them having

<v Speaker 1>given this match ten minutes or more if it would

<v Speaker 1>have gone that long. Can you imagine they would have

<v Speaker 1>given this match longer than Gable and Penta like that?

<v Speaker 1>That would have been unacceptable. As it was, this match

<v Speaker 1>went about six minutes, so at least they kept it

<v Speaker 1>short six or seven minutes, maybe maybe it was seven.

<v Speaker 1>We knew what this was gonna be. We knew what

<v Speaker 1>this was going to be. This was gonna be the

<v Speaker 1>silly match of the night, and we were going to

<v Speaker 1>get JD McDonough and we were going to probably get

<v Speaker 1>Joe Hendry after that stupid segment they did on Monday

<v Speaker 1>where we're going to get the mini houses. Maybe there'd

<v Speaker 1>be some surprise person popping up. I guess they completely

<v Speaker 1>abandoned the whole thing of who's under the sheet in

<v Speaker 1>the laboratory. I guess that's out the window. But this

<v Speaker 1>was exactly what you know you had to expect that

<v Speaker 1>it would be. Mcdonoughh tried to make this as entertaining

<v Speaker 1>as he could. Tarto, Hey, Tarto's great, But you know,

<v Speaker 1>other than that, what's to say? What's left to say

<v Speaker 1>about this? The fact that this feud is even still going,

<v Speaker 1>Like he took the bag of money. Are we supposed

<v Speaker 1>to believe that that's it, the story's over. Until I

<v Speaker 1>see evidence of this, I'm going to assume that the

<v Speaker 1>feud is going to continue because this should have been over.

<v Speaker 1>It's Saturday Night's main event. Instead they dragged it all

<v Speaker 1>the way to summer Slim. I hope it's over. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know that it is. If it is over, who

<v Speaker 1>does Dan Housen feud with next? Because you know that

<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna want to take him off TV? Who

<v Speaker 1>gets the feud with Dan Housen? Now? Is dominic buried?

<v Speaker 1>Says Thomas. I don't want to use that word with

<v Speaker 1>I will use that word with Julia. I will not

<v Speaker 1>use that word yet with Dom, but I will say,

<v Speaker 1>you know, a year ago where Dom was compared to

<v Speaker 1>where he is now is quite the fall from grace.

<v Speaker 1>And you can say that about a lot of people.

<v Speaker 1>You can say that about Fatu, you can say that

<v Speaker 1>about bron Breaker. Look at what they had Dom doing

<v Speaker 1>on this show. And he's the Triple A Mega Champion

<v Speaker 1>by the way, who just lost to Dan Housen. Good

<v Speaker 1>luck with Triple Mania. I have nothing else to say

<v Speaker 1>about this. They showed some legends in the front row

<v Speaker 1>or whatever. They were in the crowds. Maybe there wasn't

<v Speaker 1>the front row, but they were in the crowd. They

<v Speaker 1>showed the Killer Bees. They had their masks on, and

<v Speaker 1>then when they introduced them, they pulled the masks up.

<v Speaker 1>So Brian Blair jumping Jim Brunzell. A lot of history

<v Speaker 1>in the Twin Cities from those two, as well as

<v Speaker 1>Greg Ganya who was there, and Molly Holly who works

<v Speaker 1>for them as a producer behind the scenes. She had

<v Speaker 1>her Hall of Fame ring on, and the model Rick

<v Speaker 1>Martell was there. He didn't have the arrogance bottle with him,

<v Speaker 1>but he was kind of he was pantomiming like he

<v Speaker 1>had arrogance. Looking good, looking good, Always good to see

<v Speaker 1>the model. The model should be in the Hall of Fame.

<v Speaker 1>Hopefully they will be able to make that work one

<v Speaker 1>of these years. I doubt next year because they're going

<v Speaker 1>to be in Saudi unless they do the Hall of

<v Speaker 1>Fame here in the States before they fly to Saudi,

<v Speaker 1>which they probably should do. But it was good to

<v Speaker 1>see him. Can we get more of this place, Let's

<v Speaker 1>get more legends we of these D list celebrities that

<v Speaker 1>they show. Let's see some more legends. You know, last

<v Speaker 1>night they had Sean Waltman, they showed him, they showed

<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Hart, Dan Spivey, Mark Henry. Let's get more of

<v Speaker 1>the legends. Penta and Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Championship.

<v Speaker 1>I was a little worried when I saw that this

<v Speaker 1>match was being slotted in the penn ultimate slot here

<v Speaker 1>on this show, right before the main event. I was

<v Speaker 1>a little worried that they were not going to give

<v Speaker 1>it adequate time, And as it turned out, I was right.

<v Speaker 1>They did not get the time that they deserved. Unfortunately,

<v Speaker 1>I was hoping that this would go a little bit

<v Speaker 1>longer than it did. But what we did get I

<v Speaker 1>thought was very good. Now Gable's wife and kids, they

<v Speaker 1>showed them in the front row, as were other family

<v Speaker 1>members we were told who were there. Actually, maybe the

<v Speaker 1>people that were in the ring after were in his parents.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe he was his in laws. I don't know. But

<v Speaker 1>Penta tried for an early Penta driver and Gable was

<v Speaker 1>able to escape. Gable was able. Hey, that could be

<v Speaker 1>his catchphrase, Gable is able. He escaped, He delivered some

<v Speaker 1>rolling German sup plexes, he went for a moon salt,

<v Speaker 1>Pentado super kicked him in the face right out of

<v Speaker 1>mid air. One of the stories of this match early

<v Speaker 1>on was that Gable had hurt his shoulder and so

<v Speaker 1>he was selling the shoulder for pretty much the rest

<v Speaker 1>of the match. Here, Gable went for another ankle lock

<v Speaker 1>after trying one earlier. Pentado kicked him to the ground

<v Speaker 1>and pent To followed that with a TOPEI out to

<v Speaker 1>the floor and he had an awkward landing when he

<v Speaker 1>almost looked like he nearly landed on top of his

<v Speaker 1>own head. But he was okay. So back inside, Pena

<v Speaker 1>hit the Penta driver only for an ear fall, so

<v Speaker 1>then he caught Gable with a superkick, but then he

<v Speaker 1>charged right into an overhead belly to belly supplex into

<v Speaker 1>the corner. Gable dove off the top rope and Penta

<v Speaker 1>they did a spot here where he's just snatched him

<v Speaker 1>out of midair right into the sacrifice armbreaker, which is

<v Speaker 1>just another spot. I almost wish he just wouldn't do

<v Speaker 1>it anymore, you know, I know, it can never be

<v Speaker 1>like it was in Luca Underground, where he was like

<v Speaker 1>breaking people's arms every time he would do it. They're

<v Speaker 1>never going to do that. They've already killed the spot.

<v Speaker 1>It's just another spot in the match now, you know.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he snaps the arm and everyone's like, oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, they snapped the arm, and then you know,

<v Speaker 1>fifteen seconds later he's muscling somebody up for a supplex

<v Speaker 1>like nothing even happens, so it's like, what's the point

<v Speaker 1>of even doing it? But whatever, he snaps the arm. Here.

<v Speaker 1>I noticed Gable came up bleeding from the forehead. Not

<v Speaker 1>a lot, but it was noticeable. Penta tried for a

<v Speaker 1>Mexican Destroyer. Gable, though countered out into an ankle log

<v Speaker 1>that was able to work out of, and then he

<v Speaker 1>tried for a Mexican destroyer on the apron. Gable countered

<v Speaker 1>that though with a German suplex on the apron instead,

<v Speaker 1>So Gable came off the top with the moon salt

<v Speaker 1>to the floor onto Penta. Back inside. He came off

<v Speaker 1>the top with a diving headbut and he came up

<v Speaker 1>selling the injured shoulder in the process. There was a

<v Speaker 1>spot where Penta came off the middle rope with a

<v Speaker 1>Mexican destroyer to Gable on the apron, and Gable was

<v Speaker 1>just he was dead. He was dead, but not dead enough.

<v Speaker 1>Apparently Penta tried for another destroyer, this time inside the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and Gable was able to get an ankle lock applied. Penta.

<v Speaker 1>He grabbed at the bottom rope, he touched it, he

<v Speaker 1>made contact with it, but Gable just dragged him to

<v Speaker 1>the center of the ring and he graped vined the

<v Speaker 1>leg and Penta instantly tapped like no delay or anything.

<v Speaker 1>You know. This reminded me of It reminded me of

<v Speaker 1>Gunther at WrestleMania last year with jay Uso, where jay

<v Speaker 1>Uso got him in the sleeper and then he just

<v Speaker 1>didn't try to like sell it or anything like that,

<v Speaker 1>Like he just immediately tapped out. And that's what Penta

<v Speaker 1>did here, he tapped out. It would have been nice

<v Speaker 1>to build some drama maybe before the TapouT. But look,

<v Speaker 1>beggars can't be choosers here, I said, coming in, they

<v Speaker 1>have one job. Don't fuck this up. I mean, this

<v Speaker 1>is the easiest layup of the weekend, right, this can't

<v Speaker 1>possibly go any other way. And they did the right thing,

<v Speaker 1>and Gable picks up the wind and he is the

<v Speaker 1>brand new Intercontinental Champion. After the match was over, Penta

<v Speaker 1>he strapped the belt around Gable's waist again. Gables either

<v Speaker 1>it was his parents or his in laws. They came

<v Speaker 1>into the ring along with Gable's wife and his son

<v Speaker 1>and his daughter. Gable introduced himself to the crowd. My

<v Speaker 1>name is Chad Gable, born and raised and still residing

<v Speaker 1>in Minneapolis, Minneso. So everybody cheered. They shot off Pyro

<v Speaker 1>Forum as they did earlier. I forgot to mention for

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Green and this was a great moment. And then

<v Speaker 1>they followed up this heartfelt family moment. It was so beautiful,

<v Speaker 1>I mean really like, it's an emotional moment. And Gable

<v Speaker 1>is still in the ring, his family is still in

<v Speaker 1>the ring. And then I see a fucking mascot on

<v Speaker 1>the apron. It's this thing. I don't know. Is it

<v Speaker 1>a bear? I don't remember off him? What is it?

<v Speaker 1>It's a fucking bear whatever it is, the giant head.

<v Speaker 1>It's a mascot. It's the mug root beer mascot. Because

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna work in a sponsorship plug in the middle

<v Speaker 1>of this heartfelt family celebration. Yes, they used the Chad

<v Speaker 1>Gable celebration to plug more shit on this show. And

<v Speaker 1>so was it a bear? It bulldog? Oh's the bulldog? Whyt?

<v Speaker 1>I say bear, it's a dog. Okay. I don't drink

<v Speaker 1>fucking mug root beer, so I don't know it's a bulldog. Fine,

<v Speaker 1>it's fine. So the bulldog gets on the apron, not

<v Speaker 1>the British one, and he hands Gable two cans of

<v Speaker 1>mug root beer. I guess it's in the contract that

<v Speaker 1>he has to drink it, and so he basically like

<v Speaker 1>stone cold, he slams them together and he downs them

<v Speaker 1>and they got their plug in there, and then they

<v Speaker 1>promoted it, you know, on commentary. So that was just

<v Speaker 1>fucking lame. I see this thing get on the apron.

<v Speaker 1>I think they're shooting an angle here with this person

<v Speaker 1>who's going to attack Gable. I thought he was gonna

<v Speaker 1>pull the head off. It's gonna be like big cast

<v Speaker 1>or something, because you know he's returning on Raw this Monday.

<v Speaker 1>But no, it's just no, we're gonna we're gonna work

<v Speaker 1>a plug in here. It's like, okay. Well, up until

<v Speaker 1>that point, though, it was a nice moment until it

<v Speaker 1>was commercialized like every other fucking thing on this show.

<v Speaker 1>Up until that, it was a nice moment. They gave

<v Speaker 1>them eleven minutes. They gave them eleven minutes. Eleven minutes

<v Speaker 1>is what brock Lesnar and Obafemi had for their main

<v Speaker 1>event last night, and eleven minutes was not nearly enough

<v Speaker 1>for these two to be able to go out there

<v Speaker 1>and do what I know they could do. Again, I

<v Speaker 1>could have watched them for another five, six, eight minutes

<v Speaker 1>and it would have made the match so much better.

<v Speaker 1>But again, they have too many ads to where you

<v Speaker 1>know you can't fit in any more wrestling on these shows.

<v Speaker 1>There's not enough time for wrestling on these shows. I'm

<v Speaker 1>not asking for a lot more. I actually disagree with

<v Speaker 1>people who were up and there are people on social

<v Speaker 1>media who were upset that, like this show was basically

<v Speaker 1>like more or less it was like three minutes long

<v Speaker 1>or three three hours. I'm sorry, I mean it kind

<v Speaker 1>of felt like the show maybe it was three three

<v Speaker 1>minutes long. No, the show was three hours long more

<v Speaker 1>or less. I'm okay with that. I don't need these

<v Speaker 1>shows to go overly long, but in the three hours

<v Speaker 1>is definitely on the shorter side. But they also divide

<v Speaker 1>it up into two nights, so if you do three

<v Speaker 1>hours on one night, you do three hours on another,

<v Speaker 1>that's six hours total. Like that's not unreasonable. I'm okay

<v Speaker 1>with that, But some of these matches, there's no reason

<v Speaker 1>you can't give them a few extra Why do all

<v Speaker 1>of these undercard matches have to be so short? I

<v Speaker 1>understand the main event went very long, but so what

<v Speaker 1>that's one match. You know, you had this guy in

<v Speaker 1>his hometown against Penta, two baby faces. People love Penta.

<v Speaker 1>They would have loved to have seen these guys get

<v Speaker 1>some more time to do their thing and really just

<v Speaker 1>take that time to tell that story. And that would

<v Speaker 1>really be my only criticism of the match. It went

<v Speaker 1>eleven minutes. It's terrible, but what we got was good

<v Speaker 1>to be able to do that with his family present

<v Speaker 1>for it in his hometown, and you know, coming off

<v Speaker 1>the match he had with Kaiser in Mexico and the

<v Speaker 1>whole again, it's a redemption arc for him. It was

<v Speaker 1>a beautiful payoff. Long May He Rain. I want to

<v Speaker 1>see him take on all comers. I want to see

<v Speaker 1>him have a very fruitful, long run as the champion

<v Speaker 1>until they find the right heel to come along and

<v Speaker 1>take it away from him, and then they confude over it.

<v Speaker 1>Long May He Rain. That's what I said. When I

<v Speaker 1>saw the time that they gave this match, I said, enough,

<v Speaker 1>this is ridiculous. They will do matches on television. They

<v Speaker 1>will do matches on Ron's SmackDown occasionally that are longer

<v Speaker 1>than what they gave Gable and Penta at Summer Slam.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on. But it was all because the

<v Speaker 1>main event. They needed their time, and that is what

<v Speaker 1>we had. Next. It was the main event of this show.

<v Speaker 1>It was Roman Reigns defending the World Heavyweight Championship against

<v Speaker 1>seth Rawlins. Now for Rollins entrance. They played the Shield

<v Speaker 1>intro Sierra Hotel. You know the rest, but they didn't

<v Speaker 1>play the shield music. They just played that little intro

<v Speaker 1>and they got people's ears all perked up. But then

<v Speaker 1>it just went right into the usual burn it down

<v Speaker 1>intro and Seth Rollins came out. He entered. He was

<v Speaker 1>wearing the old shield half skull mask. I mentioned this earlier,

<v Speaker 1>and he was wearing an outfit. You know, he had

<v Speaker 1>dialed it back in recent months since he came back.

<v Speaker 1>He was dressing more normally, and here he comes out

<v Speaker 1>and he was wearing something that looked like it would

<v Speaker 1>have been more appropriate to wear for like when WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>goes back to New Orleans. He looked like a fucking courtester.

<v Speaker 1>And I know Michael Cole on commentary had this whole

<v Speaker 1>explanation that Seth I'm sure gave him about what this

<v Speaker 1>color means and what that color represents, and I'm like, dude,

<v Speaker 1>you look like a fucking court jester. You know, the

<v Speaker 1>only thing missing with the clown shoes. So it was

<v Speaker 1>a very colorful outfit that only Seth Rollins would be wearing.

<v Speaker 1>Roman got his usual long entrance. After about fifteen minutes

<v Speaker 1>of entrances, the bell sounded. I marked it down. Eight

<v Speaker 1>thirty one PM eight thirty one PM. The show started

<v Speaker 1>at six eight thirty one and the main event was

<v Speaker 1>already underway. Is this a SummerSlam or is this in

<v Speaker 1>your house? I don't know. I don't know. But again

<v Speaker 1>I hey, three hours and change three fifteen. I'll take it.

<v Speaker 1>I'll take it. I don't need no five hours show.

<v Speaker 1>So they brawled into the crowd. I'd say about I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, six minutes or so, maybe into this. They

<v Speaker 1>brawled into the crowd. Rollins hit him with a stanchion

<v Speaker 1>right in the gut. When Rollins tried to superlex him, though,

<v Speaker 1>Roman reversed it and slammed him down onto the diamond

<v Speaker 1>plate that was on the ground. So they fought back

<v Speaker 1>to ringside. Rollins caught him with a neat right to

<v Speaker 1>the side of the face. He dove off the timekeeper's barricade.

<v Speaker 1>When Roman got back to his feet, Rollins he came

<v Speaker 1>charging in. He was gonna spear him through the barricade,

<v Speaker 1>only Roman caught him briefly in a guillotine and then

<v Speaker 1>he quickly transitioned to a power bomb position and he

<v Speaker 1>power bomb Rolins through the Spanish announced desk and Roman

<v Speaker 1>he is one of the funnier moments from the match.

<v Speaker 1>Roman looked over. There were a bunch of I guess

<v Speaker 1>of Minnesota Vikings sitting in the front row behind the announcers,

<v Speaker 1>and Roman's like smiling and he's laughing, and he's looking

<v Speaker 1>at them, and he says he's laughing. He goes Rollins

<v Speaker 1>played high school football. This guy played high school football.

<v Speaker 1>So then he cleared off the English announces. Rollins, though,

<v Speaker 1>ended up getting him up for a power bomb and

<v Speaker 1>he puts Roman through that desk, so now both desks

<v Speaker 1>have been obliterated. Roman barely beats it back in before

<v Speaker 1>the count of ten. As soon as he gets back

<v Speaker 1>into the ring, Rollins grabs him. He gives him a pedigree.

<v Speaker 1>He goes for a pin. Roman kicks out, so Rollins

<v Speaker 1>went for a stump instead, though he ran right into

<v Speaker 1>a superman punch. There's a cover. Rollin's got the shoulder

<v Speaker 1>up in two. So Roman he tried for a spear.

<v Speaker 1>We got a leap frog by Rollins. Roman ends up

<v Speaker 1>eating the middle turn buckle and seth comes off the ropes.

<v Speaker 1>He hits him with a curb stump very close near

<v Speaker 1>fall and they got the fans. So the fans are

<v Speaker 1>into this. The fans are really biting on these near falls,

<v Speaker 1>and there were a lot more yet to come. There

<v Speaker 1>was already a bunch of near falls by this point,

<v Speaker 1>but there was more coming here. So Rollins brought him

<v Speaker 1>to the ropes. He's gonna go for the Superplex. He

<v Speaker 1>delivers the Superplex, he rolls through. He's gonna go for

<v Speaker 1>the Falcon Arrow but no. Roman gets the guillotine locked

<v Speaker 1>in deep because fuck superplexes. I guess it's like, I'm

<v Speaker 1>not sure what's more egregious when I see the Superplex

<v Speaker 1>being no sold or when I saw that four to

<v Speaker 1>fifty splash being no sold by Nick Jackson at Redemption.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure which one irritated me more. Probably the

<v Speaker 1>four fifty. But anyway, he's got him locked in the guillotine.

<v Speaker 1>Seth is fighting it. Roman though, takes him to the mat.

<v Speaker 1>He's got his legs now wrapped around him like a snake. Rollins, though,

<v Speaker 1>manages to get back to his feet right. He's fighting

<v Speaker 1>his way back up to his feet. Roman catches him

<v Speaker 1>with a spear, though, and then there's another big near fall.

<v Speaker 1>Crowd is feeling it. Roman starts shit talking because he's

<v Speaker 1>like talking to himself. He goes, he's a two, I'm

<v Speaker 1>a one. So he stood Rollin's up, bounces off the ropes.

<v Speaker 1>He's coming off the Roy's going to go for a

<v Speaker 1>spear instead, Seth spears him before Roman can spear, Seth

<v Speaker 1>covers him. Roman kicks out. So now it's Seth who

<v Speaker 1>is doing the shit talking here, and he goes, you

<v Speaker 1>think I'm a number two. He goes, I'm I own

<v Speaker 1>your ass, picks him up for a buckle bomb. He

<v Speaker 1>delivers the buckle bomb. Seth goes for a stomp. Roman

<v Speaker 1>avoids it. He hits a buckle bomb of his own,

<v Speaker 1>and then we get a stump by Roman reins and

<v Speaker 1>he covers him and Rollins gets a shoulder up. And

<v Speaker 1>at this point, I mean, they were basically just spamming

<v Speaker 1>each other's moves, and the fans were buying into it

<v Speaker 1>because they're big moves, and you know, these are big

<v Speaker 1>stars doing big moves, so yeah, they'll they'll bite on anything.

<v Speaker 1>But that's basically what they were doing here during this

<v Speaker 1>whole sequence. So now they're on their knees and they're

<v Speaker 1>talking to each other and Roman is looking at me.

<v Speaker 1>He goes, it's always been us goes, It's always been

<v Speaker 1>me and you ever since the motherfucking red Rooster. It's

<v Speaker 1>always been me and you. And I'm like, did I

<v Speaker 1>just hear that? Well, like, excuse me? Did we just

<v Speaker 1>get a red rooster reference in the middle of this

<v Speaker 1>Summer Slam main event here in twenty twenty six. I

<v Speaker 1>thought maybe I was losing my mind. I was not

<v Speaker 1>expecting that. And actually, when the match was over, Jackie

<v Speaker 1>Redman was interviewing on the post show. She was interviewing

<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns, and she asked him, like, there was a

<v Speaker 1>certain point in the match you were talking to Seth,

<v Speaker 1>Like what were you saying to Seth? And and Roman said,

<v Speaker 1>he goes, it's always been me and you since the

<v Speaker 1>FCW days, and the red Rooster was bitching at us.

<v Speaker 1>So I'm like, okay, he did say red rooster. I'm

<v Speaker 1>not going crazy here. We got a Terry Taylor red rooster,

<v Speaker 1>red diference in the middle of this match. Now, the

<v Speaker 1>only thing that this main event was missing was a

<v Speaker 1>red rooster running. You imagine Terry Taylor running down to

<v Speaker 1>the ring with that fucking red streak right down his hair,

<v Speaker 1>runs into the ring, He's like clucking like a fucking rooster,

<v Speaker 1>and he hits him with a chair. That's the big

<v Speaker 1>swerve at the end of the match. Fucking red rooster.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, the meltdown. I would have five thousand

<v Speaker 1>people in here right now. It would be glorious. Like

<v Speaker 1>the people, the people that would be losing their minds.

<v Speaker 1>If the fucking red rooster had interfered in this main event,

<v Speaker 1>this would have been This would have been a generational stream.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Now now I'm kind of sad it

<v Speaker 1>didn't happen. They probably had. The sad part is they'd

<v Speaker 1>probably sell a lot of red rooster merch. These days,

<v Speaker 1>people will buy anything. What kind of merch could you

<v Speaker 1>sell though, for the red rooster? I mean, other than

<v Speaker 1>like an action figure. He didn't really bring anything down

<v Speaker 1>to the ring with it. We can sell like eggs.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know, I don't know why

<v Speaker 1>I'm still talking about this. So anyway, they start slugging

<v Speaker 1>it out, and in the course of them going back

<v Speaker 1>and forth, Rollins I think accidentally kind of threw a

<v Speaker 1>back elbow on like the recoil as he was throwing

<v Speaker 1>a shot, and the referee got clipped. So the referee

<v Speaker 1>went down. Now he's not out cold, he just sort

<v Speaker 1>of down in the corner trying to regroup. Rollins with

<v Speaker 1>what Michael Cole called the wacky line. God, I haven't

<v Speaker 1>heard that reference in a long time since the Big

<v Speaker 1>Dog days. We got a wacky line from Seth Rollins

<v Speaker 1>and Michael Cole says, hello, Dean Ambrose. Rollin's set up

<v Speaker 1>for a Moxley paradigm shift. Roman though hits one instead

<v Speaker 1>and owede. Michael Cole said to the third shield member

<v Speaker 1>who he had just identified, but here he didn't say

<v Speaker 1>his name, He just said the third Shield member. So

<v Speaker 1>Rain's he sets up for a spear, but he ends

<v Speaker 1>up spearing the referee by accident when Rollins moves out

<v Speaker 1>of the way. So there's your ref bump. Now let

<v Speaker 1>the fuckery begin, is what I'm thinking, right, because we

<v Speaker 1>had the same situation last night in the CM Punk

<v Speaker 1>and Cody Roads match. When the ref goes down, right,

<v Speaker 1>shit goes up and we have to wait and see

<v Speaker 1>who's gonna run in what's gonna happen? So Rollins he

<v Speaker 1>goes outside and he retrieves a chair, he brings it

<v Speaker 1>into the ring with him. He's gearing up. Roman is

<v Speaker 1>pulling himself up using the ropes, and they have this

<v Speaker 1>perfectly framed as Rollin's doing what he did all those

<v Speaker 1>years ag go, twelve years ago, whatever it was when

<v Speaker 1>he put the chair in Roman's back, right, He's going

<v Speaker 1>to do it again. But that hesitation as he's waiting

<v Speaker 1>and waiting and waiting instead of just doing it, and

<v Speaker 1>that hesitation ends up costing him because Roman turns around

<v Speaker 1>and catches him with a thrust right to the face,

<v Speaker 1>and so down goes Rolins. Now Roman sees the chair

<v Speaker 1>laying there on the mat and he reaches down he

<v Speaker 1>picks up the chair. Now Seth is over pulling himself

<v Speaker 1>up using the ropes, and Roman is contemplating here. He's

<v Speaker 1>thinking about do I want to do this? Do I

<v Speaker 1>want to use this chair? Do I want to become

<v Speaker 1>him and do what he did to me Roman? He

<v Speaker 1>ends up tossing the chair away, and he's standing there.

<v Speaker 1>He's waiting for Seth to turn around, and he does

<v Speaker 1>and Roman says, right here, right here in the middle

<v Speaker 1>of the ring, me and you no chair. And I

<v Speaker 1>looked at the clock. We had just hit the thirty

<v Speaker 1>minute mark in this match, and they start slugging it

<v Speaker 1>out again, and I'm thinking to myself, where is the referee?

<v Speaker 1>The referee has been down now for several minutes. And

<v Speaker 1>it's not like, I mean, he didn't take a fucking

<v Speaker 1>buckle bomb or something here. I mean he didn't get

<v Speaker 1>I mean he took a spear, I guess, but it

<v Speaker 1>had been a while and I was at least looking

<v Speaker 1>for the referee to like start waking up here. There's

<v Speaker 1>no referee, So Seth is slapping him. You know, be

<v Speaker 1>a man, Roman, be a man, Little Randy Savage, there

<v Speaker 1>be a man. Helped Rains fires back, Rolin starts giving

<v Speaker 1>him kawata kicks to the head. Roman, though, strikes back

<v Speaker 1>with a superman punch. Seth stays on his feet, though

<v Speaker 1>he's wobbly, but he's on his feet. Roman goes for

<v Speaker 1>a spear, but when he dives for the spear, he

<v Speaker 1>dives right into a pedigree. We've seen this spot before

<v Speaker 1>from from Rollin's Countless Times. He hits the pedigree. Seth

<v Speaker 1>is waiting, goes for the stomp, but no. Roman moves

<v Speaker 1>out of the way, but then he hits the stomp anyway.

<v Speaker 1>That was kind of weird, so he ended up stomping

<v Speaker 1>him anyway. So now Seth is climbing to the top rope.

<v Speaker 1>He's gonna go for a super stomp. Comes off the top,

<v Speaker 1>Roman moves out of the way. Roman hits a spear.

<v Speaker 1>Seth eventually makes his way back up. Another spear connects,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm thinking, now, I'm thinking, like, where is this

<v Speaker 1>fucking referee. There's still no referee. Where is this ref

<v Speaker 1>Roman's in the corner. He hits a third spear, as

<v Speaker 1>Michael Cole said, the death blow to the shield, and

<v Speaker 1>finally there's the referee. Roman makes the cover. He gets

<v Speaker 1>the pin thirty three minutes in to retain the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship. It was nine oh four pm. Seth is

<v Speaker 1>sitting in the corner. He's staring at Rome and he

<v Speaker 1>looks very dejected. Roman is sitting in the opposite corner,

<v Speaker 1>looking right across at him, and they're staring each other down.

<v Speaker 1>So now Roman comes to the middle of the ring

<v Speaker 1>and he puts his fist out. It's like the old

<v Speaker 1>shield days, right, he puts the fist out. Seth joins

<v Speaker 1>him in the middle of the ring and they bump

<v Speaker 1>fists and they have the shield mask that Rollins had

<v Speaker 1>brought out earlier. The half mask, the skull mask is

<v Speaker 1>sitting on the mat in between them on the canvas.

<v Speaker 1>You have Roman on the right, you have the mask

<v Speaker 1>on the ground in the middle, and you have Seth

<v Speaker 1>on the left. And I believe the mask is supposed

<v Speaker 1>to represent Dean Ambrose, at least I hope it is,

<v Speaker 1>because I love the symbolism there, So I assume that

<v Speaker 1>was the whole purpose behind doing it that way, because

<v Speaker 1>obviously he couldn't be there, and so this was their

<v Speaker 1>way of kind of representing him. And we got that

<v Speaker 1>parting shot, you know, of the shield, you know, one

<v Speaker 1>last time here and there's your match of the night.

<v Speaker 1>There's your match of the night. There's your match of

<v Speaker 1>the of the weekend. Much better than the Cody Road

<v Speaker 1>c On Punk match that we got. I felt like

<v Speaker 1>on Night one. There is a formula to these Roman

<v Speaker 1>Reigns matches. I mean to some degree. I mean everybody

<v Speaker 1>has a formula, right for some people the formula is

<v Speaker 1>more exciting than others. Roman has a formula to these matches.

<v Speaker 1>If you watch them, you kind of pick up on it.

<v Speaker 1>You can kind of know what's coming. Lots of spears,

<v Speaker 1>lots of Superman punches. Sometimes other people will give him

<v Speaker 1>the spear. We see a lot of that, but he

<v Speaker 1>is very good at pulling out kind of these matches

<v Speaker 1>every now and then anyway that feel epic. And he

<v Speaker 1>did that with Punk at wrestle Mania this year. It

<v Speaker 1>takes two to tang. Oh, I mean, you gotta give

<v Speaker 1>credit to Punk also, but he did that at wrestle

<v Speaker 1>Mania this year. That was an excellent main event. And

<v Speaker 1>he did it again here with Rollins. And I don't

<v Speaker 1>know that I would say this was better than MANI

<v Speaker 1>this was not better than Mania. The Mania match was better,

<v Speaker 1>but I thought that this ended up being an excellent

<v Speaker 1>main event. I'm glad that we can close this chapter

<v Speaker 1>once and for all, as far as the Shield goes,

<v Speaker 1>we can move on from this. As far as what's

<v Speaker 1>next for Seth Rollins, I don't know. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>right now. I don't know certainly. I hope it's not

<v Speaker 1>the Vision or anything to do with them, So I'm

<v Speaker 1>not quite sure what's next for him For Roman Reigns,

<v Speaker 1>it all depends on how much longer he plans on

<v Speaker 1>sticking around. Because he told us many months ago after

<v Speaker 1>he won the championship of WrestleMania. He said on the

<v Speaker 1>post show, you got me for the summer, no more

<v Speaker 1>of this part time shit like you got me for

<v Speaker 1>the summer. Okay, so shut the fuck up was basically

<v Speaker 1>his message. Well, the summer is not over yet, right,

<v Speaker 1>the summer is not technically over until later next month,

<v Speaker 1>but at least the rest of August, beginning of September. Right,

<v Speaker 1>they say Labor days the unofficial end of summer. He

<v Speaker 1>should be sticking around for a while. And actually they

<v Speaker 1>announced a bunch of dates for him. He's not going

<v Speaker 1>to be on very I don't know that he's going

<v Speaker 1>to be on really any raws in September, but he

<v Speaker 1>does have days he is going to be at money

<v Speaker 1>in the bank. So maybe plans have changed, you know,

<v Speaker 1>maybe he's not going to completely like go away for

<v Speaker 1>two or three months at a time. It doesn't look

<v Speaker 1>like we're going to be getting him terribly consistently on TV,

<v Speaker 1>but he is going to be at money in the bank.

<v Speaker 1>We'll see if they add, you know, a wrestle palooza

<v Speaker 1>or something in September. A lot of it will depend

<v Speaker 1>on that, you know, how how long is he going

<v Speaker 1>to be around for or is he going to disappear

<v Speaker 1>mostly and then resurface in time for war Games and

<v Speaker 1>we get another Bloodline wargames? Like, is that what we're

<v Speaker 1>headed for? Very possible? How much longer is you know,

<v Speaker 1>Jacob Fatu going to play lapdog in the Bloodline before

<v Speaker 1>they pick things back up with him in Roman. I

<v Speaker 1>mean there's been no indication lately that anything is going

<v Speaker 1>to change. I mean he just became subservient to him

<v Speaker 1>in what may probably going to keep this going into

<v Speaker 1>next year. So in the meantime, it feels like Fa Tou,

<v Speaker 1>they've really cooled him off. So what's next for him?

<v Speaker 1>You would think that Roman is not going to be

<v Speaker 1>very happy about the fact that Fatu and the USO's

<v Speaker 1>lost on Night one, So is there going to be

<v Speaker 1>some sort of conversation that happens on Raw this Monday?

<v Speaker 1>As far as that goes, l A Knight in that

<v Speaker 1>six man tag last night, he got the win, you

<v Speaker 1>know he pinje Uso. Does that set him up for

<v Speaker 1>a one and done? Because if he gets a title shot,

<v Speaker 1>you know it's going to be a one and done.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe he'll get a world title match with Roman out

<v Speaker 1>of it, you know, and then Roman can beat him

<v Speaker 1>and they can move on. So maybe we you know,

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

<v Speaker 1>maybe being in line Drew McIntyre. You know, he's another

<v Speaker 1>one where Drew is going to be back at some point.

<v Speaker 1>He was on SmackDown last time we saw him. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>he ends up on WRAW. You know, maybe they they

<v Speaker 1>kind of resume the whole bloodline Hunter gimmick that he

<v Speaker 1>was doing there for a while. You know, that could

<v Speaker 1>be something Roman and Oba is the ultimate match. It

<v Speaker 1>just it doesn't feel to me like that's a match

<v Speaker 1>they're going to want to go to in the next

<v Speaker 1>couple of months. Could it be wrestle Palooza, Could it

<v Speaker 1>be Money in the Bank. Sure, But I would be

<v Speaker 1>very surprised if at this point, you know, because they

<v Speaker 1>didn't do it on this show, if they don't just

<v Speaker 1>wait until WrestleMania next year and just do it there,

<v Speaker 1>because you know, Mania for them is still like, oh,

<v Speaker 1>it's the end all, be all, and they want to

<v Speaker 1>give them the big WrestleMania moment. I just I worry about, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>what are they going to do with Oba in the meantime?

<v Speaker 1>It almost doesn't make any sense for him to do

<v Speaker 1>anything else but challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. Like,

<v Speaker 1>logically speaking, that should be the next match. The next

<v Speaker 1>match should be Roman and Oba. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>they want to go to it that quickly, though, you

<v Speaker 1>know I would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't wait until WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>next year. But that's probably, you know, something that they

<v Speaker 1>would want to do, and then it's like, Okay, well,

<v Speaker 1>what do you do with these guys in the meantime?

<v Speaker 1>Right That's the big question. As I said at the

<v Speaker 1>beginning of the review, there was a lot more to

<v Speaker 1>like about Night two than there was about Night one.

<v Speaker 1>Both Knights had their flaws. We kind of went over

<v Speaker 1>what those were. The time management could have been a

<v Speaker 1>lot better on some of these undercard matches, and not

<v Speaker 1>even just the undercard matches, even the main event last night,

<v Speaker 1>where it just felt like it was about to kick

<v Speaker 1>into that next gear and then it just ended abruptly,

<v Speaker 1>and what could have been like a couple of classic

<v Speaker 1>matches maybe this weekend we never got that. That's not

<v Speaker 1>a word I would use to describe anything that we

<v Speaker 1>got on these shows this weekend. You know, even though again,

<v Speaker 1>I really like the main event tonight. You know, on

<v Speaker 1>the broadcast, Michael Cole's always throwing words like that around

<v Speaker 1>an instant classic an instant. I paid less and less

<v Speaker 1>attention to what he says or what they tell him

<v Speaker 1>to say, because it's just so over the top when

<v Speaker 1>you start throwing words like that around when it's undeserved,

<v Speaker 1>or you throw them around like you know, every month

<v Speaker 1>there's a new classic match like it doesn't mean anything

<v Speaker 1>after a while. Not a word I would use to describe,

<v Speaker 1>you know, any of this. But Night two was better

<v Speaker 1>than Night one. The matches were better on the whole.

<v Speaker 1>We got some memorable moments sprinkled in with a really

<v Speaker 1>great main event thumbs up show, which makes it a

<v Speaker 1>thumbs up Summer Slam overall. I can't say that it's

<v Speaker 1>an overly enthusiastic thumbs up, like man, my favorite Summer

<v Speaker 1>Slam in ten years. Like no, I would go seven

<v Speaker 1>out of ten on the whole. If I was six

<v Speaker 1>out of ten last night, I would say this bumped

<v Speaker 1>it up maybe to a seven. I think that's fair.

<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reid through a tweet taking a shot at Obafemi. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>I love that match, Oba Femi and Bronson Reid Bronson

<v Speaker 1>read should be back very soon. He should be act

<v Speaker 1>very soon. So yes, sign me up for that, man.

<v Speaker 1>I would love to see that. We're still ten likes

<v Speaker 1>away from one thousand. We did hit the bonus goal though,

<v Speaker 1>so we're guaranteed at least one round of be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>I just noticed that. But yeah, seven out of ten.

<v Speaker 1>I think that's more than fair here for these shows. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>link Master, thank you, says Seth is to Roman what

<v Speaker 1>Randy was to Sina. Well, yeah, I mean they've just

<v Speaker 1>been linked so closely for so long. The thing with

<v Speaker 1>Orton and Sena, it just got to a point where

<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to see them in the ring together

<v Speaker 1>for like at least ten years. I was like, I

<v Speaker 1>don't want to see this anymore, you know, because we

<v Speaker 1>saw it so many times. You just kind of burned

<v Speaker 1>people out on it. But the thing about it was

<v Speaker 1>like Orton and Sena, relative to the number of matches

<v Speaker 1>they had, they did not bring out the best at

<v Speaker 1>each other. There are certain people that will work together

<v Speaker 1>and they have great matches and they just bring out

<v Speaker 1>the best in each other when the bell rings. They

<v Speaker 1>never really brought the best out of each other, like

<v Speaker 1>Orton had his best matches with people not named John Cena,

<v Speaker 1>and John Cena had his best matches with people not

<v Speaker 1>named Randy Orton, right, he had his best matches with

<v Speaker 1>Edge and Punk and AJ You know, for Orton, Christian, right,

<v Speaker 1>Christian would be one god? Who else did? Who else?

<v Speaker 1>Would I say, Randy Orton had some of his best

<v Speaker 1>matches with. Who are some of Randy's best opponents? It's

<v Speaker 1>a good question. Other than Christian, I don't know. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I know sick Sincrow says eleven minutes, Penta and Gable

<v Speaker 1>got eleven minutes. I know, I know. You're preaching to

<v Speaker 1>the choir here. See now, all of you were saying

<v Speaker 1>cactus Jack mc foley, Yes, but you're going back to

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and four though it was one match. That's

<v Speaker 1>kind of sad if like, all we can think of

<v Speaker 1>is Christian and Cactus Jack. I think about how long

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton's been around for Undertaker? All right, Undertaker, they

<v Speaker 1>had a few, They had a few matches, right, Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Polaris cheers brother the military. You guys, you guys do

<v Speaker 1>too much. Check out your super chats here, bring them

<v Speaker 1>up here. We go. Hey, Larry Jester, thank you again, Joshua.

<v Speaker 1>I gotta thank you for those two big bombs that

<v Speaker 1>he dropped on me. I already read them earlier. Brother,

<v Speaker 1>I gave those top priority. Thank you again. Actually, let

<v Speaker 1>me there were something that came in before the Super Pony.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah he had, Yeah, Murph's he had some good ones

<v Speaker 1>with AJ. I mean, I feel like it would be

<v Speaker 1>impossible for people to not have good matches with AJ styles,

<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I would say AJ was one of them.

<v Speaker 1>Super Pony says Listen, I don't care what bullshit they

<v Speaker 1>want to give me about Punk being the bigger star

<v Speaker 1>and the bigger draw. Kevin Owens needs to win the

<v Speaker 1>w W whe title, end of story. He is one

<v Speaker 1>of one, a special yes he is. And honestly, you

<v Speaker 1>know what, for all the times that he challenged for

<v Speaker 1>the championship and didn't win against Roman and against Cody

<v Speaker 1>and he just came back, I would put the title

<v Speaker 1>on him as well. I agree with you one hundred percent.

<v Speaker 1>Put the title on Kevin owns. I endorsed that. GMB says,

<v Speaker 1>I wish Chelsea wasn't bad in ring and people only

<v Speaker 1>relying on that. Pentam Madge from a decade ago to

<v Speaker 1>dispute that for a huge heat, have JC beat her

<v Speaker 1>for the title, beat her for the interim title. If

<v Speaker 1>you were going to do that, why not just have

<v Speaker 1>jac in the ladder match and win the interim title there.

<v Speaker 1>That's what they should have done. Actually, what they should

<v Speaker 1>have done is had Blake Monroe in the ladder match

<v Speaker 1>and then they can kind of branch off with her

<v Speaker 1>and Tiffany in feud for the US title. But they

<v Speaker 1>had a different idea. The Shawnathan says the Fatal four

<v Speaker 1>way of the Mount rushmore of NXT Black and Gold. Lol.

<v Speaker 1>Love seeing Ko back, but storyline, Sammy has every right

<v Speaker 1>to be pissed, Yes he does. I did notice Balor

<v Speaker 1>and Owens being in there. It reminded me of like

<v Speaker 1>it's been ten years. Not only did Balor win the

<v Speaker 1>Universal title on this show ten years ago, but because

<v Speaker 1>he got hurt and was stripped, the person who benefited

<v Speaker 1>from that and ended up winning the championship was Kevin Owens,

<v Speaker 1>And so here they were in the ring together ten

<v Speaker 1>years later. Joshua had another nineteen ninety nine. I only

<v Speaker 1>watched WWE from January through August. My next question is

<v Speaker 1>when do you think the peak was. My opinion was

<v Speaker 1>Alimitation Chamber twenty twenty five, with the rest of the

<v Speaker 1>year held up by Johnsteen his retirement and overpriced ples.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah again, they peaked after the after the main event

<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania forty. You want to know it creatively anyway,

<v Speaker 1>you want to know what the peak was. That was

<v Speaker 1>the peak, and they haven't been able to recapture that

<v Speaker 1>since Party on SPARTI realistically, Oba should get Roman next.

<v Speaker 1>Absolutely absolutely nothing else really makes sense. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do that. They're gonna have to figure out

<v Speaker 1>a side quest for him in the meantime. But Oba

<v Speaker 1>should have nothing else on his mind but the championship.

<v Speaker 1>Although it's his fucking fault that he didn't get a

<v Speaker 1>title shot on this show, but that's on him. Death

<v Speaker 1>Side says they add Gunther, who competed on Night one,

<v Speaker 1>to the number one contenders match on night two. They

<v Speaker 1>add him, Yet they can't add Oba to the World

<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship match so he can beat both Seth and

<v Speaker 1>Roman well, because it interferes with the Shield lore. This

<v Speaker 1>is the Shield story and it's Roman reign. So yes,

<v Speaker 1>they're not going to put him in there to just

<v Speaker 1>beat Roman. They want Roman to have that belt. Roman

<v Speaker 1>is their guy more than Cody, more than Punk. Roman

<v Speaker 1>is the number one star in this company. Roman is

<v Speaker 1>the one who they have effectively built everything around. He

<v Speaker 1>is still the anchor of the Bloodline story. Roman's not

<v Speaker 1>going to do what Roman doesn't want to do, and

<v Speaker 1>I doubt the company wanted to take the belt off

<v Speaker 1>of Romans. So that's why we didn't get the match,

<v Speaker 1>says that money in the bank. I can now see

<v Speaker 1>sammy's Ay winning the briefcase and Kevin Owens winning the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Championship, and Sammy Cash is in on the same

<v Speaker 1>nights to win the title, and we get a Ko

<v Speaker 1>Sammy feud over the belt. What are your thoughts? I

<v Speaker 1>love it. I love it, but Punk is still going

<v Speaker 1>to be the number one guy in that brand. So

<v Speaker 1>Punk realistically is not going to be involved. So I

<v Speaker 1>don't hate what you just proposed, and I think that

<v Speaker 1>it's actually very realistic, but Punk is still going to

<v Speaker 1>have to be involved in some way. I don't see

<v Speaker 1>him not being involved that. Jeff Jeff Bray, thank you, Jeff,

<v Speaker 1>Yovanni Padilla, Hello Solo, thanks for the review. What are

<v Speaker 1>wrestling pet peeves of yours? Mine are when wrestlers did

<v Speaker 1>their opponents, finishers and finishers spam brother. I have too

<v Speaker 1>many to but you're in luck because I did an

<v Speaker 1>entire video on this, So what I would recommend that

<v Speaker 1>you do? Because I can't possibly remember them all off

<v Speaker 1>the top of my head, but I laid them all out.

<v Speaker 1>I went on this like ridiculous rant. It wasn't even planned.

<v Speaker 1>It was like a mailbag question that somebody sent in

<v Speaker 1>on one of the podcasts, and it just turned into

<v Speaker 1>this whole list of grievances and all these wrestling pet peeves.

<v Speaker 1>It's on the channel. I clipped it for the channel.

<v Speaker 1>So if you just go to the search and I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, type in solemn monster pet peeves or whatever,

<v Speaker 1>it should come right out. People seem to really enjoy it,

<v Speaker 1>so hopefully you will too. Darryl Strawberry is back with

<v Speaker 1>us tonight. Little roller up along first behind the back,

<v Speaker 1>It gets through Buckner, here comes night and the Mets

<v Speaker 1>win it. Those are words that you don't hear too

<v Speaker 1>often these days. And the Mets win it. The Mets

<v Speaker 1>aren't going to be winning anything when they have this

<v Speaker 1>baseball lockout death site says we need a faction that

<v Speaker 1>kills other factions called the Extermination Squad. Yeah, that's probably

<v Speaker 1>not a good idea. Alexander with a four ninety nine

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea winning had me quoting Drew McIntyre. I prayed for

<v Speaker 1>this and it happened. I was worried that they would

<v Speaker 1>play it safe with Jade or Charlotte. I was convinced

<v Speaker 1>they were going to give it to Lash. I'm glad

<v Speaker 1>they didn't. I was happy to be wrong about that. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>it was wrestling troup. Is that what it was? Wrestling tropes? Well,

<v Speaker 1>some of the wrestling tropes, though, I think there were

<v Speaker 1>some pet peeves in there. I mean, again, there's so

<v Speaker 1>many different pet peeves. It's a pet peeve of mine

<v Speaker 1>when you have the fucking champion who enters first and

<v Speaker 1>the challenger enters second. Unless the challenger it's like a

<v Speaker 1>you know, like a legend or like there's a really

<v Speaker 1>good reason for it. I'm a believer that the champion

<v Speaker 1>should always be entering last. I guess you would call

<v Speaker 1>that a pet beeve prince vegeta Michael Cole is like

<v Speaker 1>Roman reigns and Seth Rowlins, what careers and legends they

<v Speaker 1>are and oh yeah, that one dean guy. He's saying

<v Speaker 1>what he's told. I'm sure they're in his ear where

<v Speaker 1>they're talking to him before the show. Rubin Constantino first time,

<v Speaker 1>long time, loved the show. So though, thank you Ruben

<v Speaker 1>first time. Huh, don't be a stranger death sithe after tonight. Seth.

<v Speaker 1>Rolins should be in the role that aj Styles was in,

<v Speaker 1>a utility guy that can be played into any role

<v Speaker 1>instead of hogging the main events. Yeah, but you don't

<v Speaker 1>really do that with a top guy when he's not

<v Speaker 1>like washed up yet. You do that with somebody when

<v Speaker 1>he's like a few steps off. You really want to

<v Speaker 1>demote them. Rollins is still one of their key guys.

<v Speaker 1>Why would you do that? Why would you turn him

<v Speaker 1>into a utility guy. I'm okay with him now being

<v Speaker 1>in the main event for a little bit and feuding

<v Speaker 1>him with somebody new, But to turn him into a

<v Speaker 1>utility guy, I don't know that I would be doing that.

<v Speaker 1>Jersey authentic. I think Chelsea Green is going to get

<v Speaker 1>the Zach Ryder treatment. Win a championship in the ladder match,

<v Speaker 1>lose it on the next show, losing it to Naya Jack.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, why why, why? Why would you do that?

<v Speaker 1>Why would you suggest that? What are you doing? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>if that's the case, who said jac Jane before? I'd

<v Speaker 1>rather they go with J. C. James. But apparently jac

<v Speaker 1>is going into the US title King Nader with a

<v Speaker 1>New Zealand one seventy, which was a one hundred US

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, King Nader. I saw the one seventy, I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>I should be so lucky. Holy shit, I got thrown

<v Speaker 1>off there. When I saw that, I said, wait, wait, wait,

<v Speaker 1>that's a different denomination. Willis Wheeler WWE has no black

<v Speaker 1>champions on the roster right now. Interesting they did it

<v Speaker 1>one time. They had I think a bunch of them

<v Speaker 1>all at once. Don't worry about it. Oba Oba's getting

<v Speaker 1>that belt. It's just a matter of Wayne, It's not

<v Speaker 1>a matter of if. It's only a matter of time.

<v Speaker 1>Jade had the belt only a couple of months ago,

<v Speaker 1>thinking about tag teams. The Street Profits had it and

<v Speaker 1>then they lost it. Paul Carpenter, who did it better?

<v Speaker 1>The love storyline Phineas or Phineas and Sonny or Otis

<v Speaker 1>and Mandy or Otison Maxine Otison Maxine. There was no

<v Speaker 1>love story with Otison Maxine. There was no story with

<v Speaker 1>Otison Maxine. Who did it better? I mean Otis and

<v Speaker 1>Mandy was very entertaining. Death Site says after Rhea beats Chelsea,

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea should be recognized as an official WWE Women's Champion

<v Speaker 1>because it would be an insult if she is not.

<v Speaker 1>It's an interim title. Brother. My guess is it won't count.

<v Speaker 1>Prince vegeta ninety five. I wouldn't put Ko in another

<v Speaker 1>world title match unless he wins it. He's lost too

<v Speaker 1>many title matches. Well, that's why he said I endorsed

<v Speaker 1>the idea of him winning the title, because we've seen

<v Speaker 1>him countless times before, like Challenge for the WWE Championship,

<v Speaker 1>and he always fails. I don't understand why you would

<v Speaker 1>bring him back and vault him into a title match

<v Speaker 1>and just have him lose again. But Sammy's ain't is

<v Speaker 1>in the wings, and he's probably not very happy with

<v Speaker 1>what happened tonight. Maybe Sammy screws him over. Aaron says

<v Speaker 1>Nick con eyes lit up when he saw the human monies.

<v Speaker 1>I'll bet reborn later. I know it's an awful song,

<v Speaker 1>but the Gable theme has grown on me. I kind

<v Speaker 1>of like it, loving the streams solo Thank You Reborn Later.

<v Speaker 1>I get what they're trying to do with it. You know,

<v Speaker 1>they want people to get into the chorus where it

<v Speaker 1>goes Gable and they chant his name. Yeah, obviously they

<v Speaker 1>were doing it here in Minneapolis. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>it's catching on everywhere else, but that's the idea behind it.

<v Speaker 1>Super pony Punk should be the heel in this KO program.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody who is going to cheer him

<v Speaker 1>over Kevin. I also think Kevin Owens is going to

<v Speaker 1>tear him to shreds on the microphone. I think it's

<v Speaker 1>going to be very entertaining on the mic. I'm looking

<v Speaker 1>forward to the promos as much as I am any

<v Speaker 1>matches that they're gonna have Saint James fiance and I

<v Speaker 1>dislike Roman to where they were actually rooting for Seth,

<v Speaker 1>who they also hate, but less we're really bummed out

<v Speaker 1>by the Uh, we're really bummed out by the Finally,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you mean. You mean finale, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. We got a couple of Roman reignentators here

<v Speaker 1>though the bloodline fans are not gonna like hearing about

<v Speaker 1>that solo Monster's lost son is back with us tonight

<v Speaker 1>with a four ninety nine. Dad. I can't believe that

<v Speaker 1>Ko returned tonight, my second favorite wrestler. I was shaking

<v Speaker 1>my ass to his theme song when he was coming out.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think I needed to know that son debt sith.

<v Speaker 1>I did enjoy Randy Orton coming out at Night One

<v Speaker 1>like he was James Earl Cash from the Manhunt video

<v Speaker 1>game and Slade Cody. So hopefully their program is orton

<v Speaker 1>just making Cody's life a snuff film. A snuff film. Well,

<v Speaker 1>you guys have some wild ideas here. This is a

<v Speaker 1>PG product, sir. We don't do that type of stuff.

<v Speaker 1>We wee almighty with a ten. It Brock shows up

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night on Raw wearing a hot pink snakeskin suit

<v Speaker 1>with matching cowboy boots. I'm changing the channel, not falling

<v Speaker 1>for that retirement speech again. It's a salmon snakeskin suit.

<v Speaker 1>It's not hot pink. Jeremy Rose, this got a lead

<v Speaker 1>to Sammy and Drew in a partnership. I think that

<v Speaker 1>could be interesting. I think that could be it. I

<v Speaker 1>thought maybe Owens would be a part of it, but

<v Speaker 1>obviously not. Death Site says twenty twenty six. Sambys Ain

<v Speaker 1>is nineteen ninety seven. Brett Hart Um I look, look

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety seven. Brett Hart is goaded twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 1>Sambys Ain is not in that league right now. There

<v Speaker 1>are similarities in the gimmick, but I am I'm not

<v Speaker 1>going to compare the two. Death Side says, if God forbid,

<v Speaker 1>Drew McIntyre ever got injured, he should adopt Randy Orton's

<v Speaker 1>art and call it DNN have vignettes featuring him talking

<v Speaker 1>about his condition and interrupting other segments. So you want

<v Speaker 1>him to just copy what was done before? That sounds

<v Speaker 1>very unoriginal. He's got to put his own spin on it.

<v Speaker 1>It's got to figure out a way to make it

<v Speaker 1>unique to him. Jay Warren with a nineteen ninety nine

<v Speaker 1>I wanted to support my favorite content creators being here

<v Speaker 1>during my downtime. Keep up the great work, hey, Jay,

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that very much. Thank you for the support.

<v Speaker 1>Hot Pink Brother is fucking blind. Yeah, it was not

<v Speaker 1>a hot pink suit. Mark Henry was not wearing hot pink.

<v Speaker 1>I could tell you that the average grunt. I suggest

<v Speaker 1>we start calling them signature moves. I endorse that they're

<v Speaker 1>not finishing moves. Finishing moves don't exist anymore. Finishing moves

<v Speaker 1>don't finish anybody, so you can't call them finishing moves impractically, Christopher,

<v Speaker 1>thank you for the COSM super chat. We read that

<v Speaker 1>one earlier. Hopefully one day I get to check out

<v Speaker 1>that place. Alexander Chelsea should beat Rhea, then go on

<v Speaker 1>to feud with Blake Monroe, and then let Chelsea drop

<v Speaker 1>the belt to her. Ria does not need the belt

<v Speaker 1>in my opinion. Oh no, no, she doesn't need it,

<v Speaker 1>but they're gonna want her to have it for Crown

<v Speaker 1>Jewel would be my guess. Jeremy says, you're sleeping on

<v Speaker 1>a live Chelsea program, am I. They're not even on

<v Speaker 1>the same brand. James Crawford with a one hundred dollars

<v Speaker 1>super chat bomb and then a thirty on top of that.

<v Speaker 1>But he says, I love you, Solo. You are my

<v Speaker 1>IWC tribal chief. It's nice to be acknowledged. R D

<v Speaker 1>beats with a twenty Hey, Solo r D beats here. Yeah, well,

<v Speaker 1>I kind of got that wanted to let you know

<v Speaker 1>I've got the biggest match of my career this Saturday

<v Speaker 1>at the AAPW Arena against Blaylock in a dog collar

<v Speaker 1>grudge match on our biggest show of the year. I

<v Speaker 1>always enjoy your podcast, well, I always enjoy the updates

<v Speaker 1>from you, and I think that's awesome. A dog collar

<v Speaker 1>grudge match, well, look, be safe, try not to get

<v Speaker 1>too banged up there, and hopefully you win your match.

<v Speaker 1>You have to right back when it's over and let

<v Speaker 1>us know how it goes. And a dog collar match,

<v Speaker 1>those are rough. See what I did there, Nicholas Darling

<v Speaker 1>fifteen dollars. I know you said you can't do pizza,

<v Speaker 1>but you should accept that it's gonna be a bad night,

<v Speaker 1>although not as bad as watching Raw and get lay

<v Speaker 1>Industry one slice of fig jam and bacon. Congrats on

<v Speaker 1>your well earned success, Lay Industry. I've not heard of

<v Speaker 1>this before. One slice of fig jam and bacon. Man,

<v Speaker 1>I'm getting hungry. Thank you, Nicholas. I may have to

<v Speaker 1>look into that. Death Site says bron Breaker should just

<v Speaker 1>give his tag team title to Logan Paul because he

<v Speaker 1>doesn't he doesn't The Vision aka TMU Maximum Male Models

<v Speaker 1>did you leave a word out of that super chat.

<v Speaker 1>I think he meant doesn't belong in the vision, which

<v Speaker 1>he does not. He does not belong in the vision anymore. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>The longer he stays in that group, I mean, bron

<v Speaker 1>Breaker is just and he's dying on the vine. Dying

<v Speaker 1>on the vine, says. Can you imagine if they tried

<v Speaker 1>to plug the mug root beer mascot when brock Lesner

<v Speaker 1>was giving his endorsement to Obafemi. Oh, I would have

<v Speaker 1>loved it, because Brock would have fucking murdered him. Brock

<v Speaker 1>would have picked him up for an F five, dumped

<v Speaker 1>him on the wooden boards. You try that and see

<v Speaker 1>what happens. We have Enigma three sixteen to be fair,

<v Speaker 1>seventy five percent or so has to be ad placement

<v Speaker 1>these days. Yeah, I mean, that's what these shows are.

<v Speaker 1>So I can either just repeat myself over and over

<v Speaker 1>again and talk about how terrible these shows are relative

<v Speaker 1>to how they used to be because of it, or

<v Speaker 1>we just sort of except that, Okay, this is the

<v Speaker 1>format of these shows and all the wrestling that we

<v Speaker 1>do get, what little bit of wrestling we get in

<v Speaker 1>between all of the various plugs and various ads. Is

<v Speaker 1>it good enough? And sadly it's not always because they

<v Speaker 1>just don't get enough time. You would think on the

<v Speaker 1>premium live events that they would get a little more

<v Speaker 1>than eleven minutes, you know, for a big title match

<v Speaker 1>like that, but evidently not. You know, why, why give

<v Speaker 1>them fourteen minutes when we can give them eleven and

<v Speaker 1>we can have another Dojorno's pizza ad? Why not do that?

<v Speaker 1>Shift and shive wwe is all hype and no substance,

<v Speaker 1>all hat and no cattle, A polished turd if you will,

<v Speaker 1>a man of man of very interesting words. There, Hey,

<v Speaker 1>death Sith coming in with another five. Pizza Hut anyone? Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>pizza hut used to be a favorite of mine. James

<v Speaker 1>Crawford with another thirty because you love it so love? Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I do. I love that super check I had. I

<v Speaker 1>had a lot of fun making that one. James, James

<v Speaker 1>is like the mailman. Look at this guy, he's always delivering.

<v Speaker 1>Nicholas with another five, can't wait for the next season

<v Speaker 1>of Unreal With a scripted scene of Michael Hayes pitching

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea's win for pr appearances she earned this moment. Yeah

<v Speaker 1>he'll take credit for it. He'll take credit for the idea.

<v Speaker 1>Bass Beer Seth is to Roman what Randy was to

<v Speaker 1>Sina mentioned that one before retro koh Sell Roberts for

<v Speaker 1>the red rooster, like the one that got thrown that

<v Speaker 1>got thrown at Cody. Oh my god, I forgot about

<v Speaker 1>the rubber chicken from WRESTLEMANI at thirty nine. Oh man,

<v Speaker 1>I forgot about that. It just it landed so perfectly too,

<v Speaker 1>like right next to him, Jeremy Rose with a ten.

<v Speaker 1>I thought the Knight should have ended with Oba confronting Rome.

<v Speaker 1>You know, I was wondering about that as they were

<v Speaker 1>getting ready to go off the air. I was waiting

<v Speaker 1>to see if the lights were going to go out

<v Speaker 1>and then Oba was going to come out and we

<v Speaker 1>were going to get a big face to face. But

<v Speaker 1>if they're not going to do the match soon, then

<v Speaker 1>I guess there's no point in teasing people like that.

<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna do that, then you have to go

<v Speaker 1>to that match. Next said, tonight was way better than

<v Speaker 1>last night, but the bar is super low. Hopefully punk

<v Speaker 1>Ko and Orton Cody Fuse picked things up, but I

<v Speaker 1>doubt it. Look I hope so because SmackDown needs all

<v Speaker 1>the help it can get, and Raw, honestly is has

<v Speaker 1>not been much better. Now that Summer Slim is in

<v Speaker 1>the books, hopefully we get some new stories and starting Monday,

<v Speaker 1>we'll see what the direction is going to be. Schiff

<v Speaker 1>is back again, glad to see Chelsea get her due.

<v Speaker 1>She brings fun and shows up ready to work even

<v Speaker 1>when injured. Now do Solo Soca and La Knight? Well?

<v Speaker 1>La Night? Of course, the jury is out on that one.

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa though, again, I really hope they just let

<v Speaker 1>him keep doing his thing. He will continue to get over.

<v Speaker 1>Just let him continue to do his thing. Jeremy says,

<v Speaker 1>don't know how we get there? Give me Penta and Seth. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they haven't worked together yet, have they? Solo Monsters lost Son.

<v Speaker 1>I can't believe my top five favorite are all on

<v Speaker 1>the same brand. Ilia. Ilia, Who's that? I don't know

<v Speaker 1>who that is? Who is this Ilia that you speak of?

<v Speaker 1>He says, Ilia, Punk, Randy Ko, and Cody, Now please

<v Speaker 1>just bring Ilia back to TV. Yeah, I just I

<v Speaker 1>stopped even thinking about it. Jeremy rose with a ten

<v Speaker 1>What if the story is Roman says, Oh, but you

<v Speaker 1>ain't ready rookie and avoid he ain't ready. He ain't ready.

<v Speaker 1>He beat the Beast twice, he won King of the Ring.

<v Speaker 1>Roman says, Oba, you ain't ready and avoids the match.

<v Speaker 1>Oba continues to destroy the roster. Roman shows up every

<v Speaker 1>three weeks and says, not enough, delaying the until WrestleMania. Boy,

<v Speaker 1>that sounds so exciting. That sounds so exciting. Roman shows

<v Speaker 1>up every three weeks and says, not good enough, and

<v Speaker 1>we just drag things out until we get to April

<v Speaker 1>of next year. That sounds like exciting TV. That site says,

<v Speaker 1>I just hope they don't have Oba win the Royal

<v Speaker 1>Rumble and have Oba give his shot to the Rock,

<v Speaker 1>because that would be stupid. Oh wait, they already did

<v Speaker 1>that with Cody. Oh. I fully expect Oba is winning

<v Speaker 1>the Rumble next year. You know, in his rookie year,

<v Speaker 1>Brock won King of the Ring, he won the championship,

<v Speaker 1>he beat Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, and then

<v Speaker 1>he won his first Royal Rumble. And I think they're

<v Speaker 1>going to follow, maybe without winning the title this year,

<v Speaker 1>but they're going to follow the same blueprint with Oba. Femi.

<v Speaker 1>Larry Jester says, how do you think a boss Man

<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental title run would have gone. I think he would

<v Speaker 1>have been very popular, and I think he would have

<v Speaker 1>probably held it for I don't know, six months or

<v Speaker 1>less and then dropped it to you know, whoever the

<v Speaker 1>new heel was they were trying to get over, but

<v Speaker 1>he was very popular. He's a very popular babyface. I

<v Speaker 1>think it would have gone fine. I think it would

<v Speaker 1>have gone well. Derek J speaks, what if when they

<v Speaker 1>do Rhea and Chelsea, Tiffany cost Chelsea the match and

<v Speaker 1>officially turns heel, then we get a Chelsea Tiffany feud

<v Speaker 1>as a clear face versus heel. Sure, and you could

<v Speaker 1>do that for the US title if Tiffany still has it.

<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rose, imagine how Kevin Owen's winning the title will

<v Speaker 1>set off Sammy. Oh, he's not going to be very

<v Speaker 1>happy about any of this. Has his breaking point. Bace

<v Speaker 1>Beer is taker not Austin showing up at WrestleMania forty

<v Speaker 1>was confusing. Yeah, it should have been Austin, but he

<v Speaker 1>didn't want to do it. What are you gonna do?

<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have a stone Cold look alike go out there.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have Stone Cold et show up at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>gonna have Will Sasso in a bald cap. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>what are they supposed to do? He doesn't want to

<v Speaker 1>show up. He doesn't want to show up. Schiff says

<v Speaker 1>my boy Finn's face when Gunther and Ko came to

<v Speaker 1>the ring basically whatever, Yeah, because he knew his goose

<v Speaker 1>was cooked at that point. He's like, oh, well, I'll

<v Speaker 1>be hitting the showers in the next seven minutes. Bace

<v Speaker 1>Beer says they missed a chance to have an ad

<v Speaker 1>on the wood under the ring back Pine Sol where

<v Speaker 1>something would have been appropriate. Well, now you're giving them

<v Speaker 1>ideas for next time. We have cn M with a

<v Speaker 1>nine ninety nine and Seth looked exactly like buzz Lightyear

<v Speaker 1>with that entrance jacket and the pants. Well the difference,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, buzz Lightyear is cool, So that's the difference.

<v Speaker 1>I very much enjoyed that main event and very happy

<v Speaker 1>to see Gable get his moment, appreciate all the hard work.

<v Speaker 1>Seldom thank you. CNM Basce bears. Is Nightbot in be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker? No, Nightbot is in the chat. Night Bot

<v Speaker 1>is not in be the Booker. I believe Nightbot is

<v Speaker 1>in the chat. Uh. Yes, Nightbot is in the chat.

<v Speaker 1>How's it going, Nightbot? Everybody say hello to Nightbod. Always inspecting.

<v Speaker 1>In the chat, Aaron says, did you see WWE is

<v Speaker 1>putting exclusive raw and smackdowns on Club WWE? I guess

<v Speaker 1>they aren't going to put the raws on Netflix and

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna Nickel and dime people in STU. That's the

<v Speaker 1>that's their mo. They're gonna Nickel and dime ye until

<v Speaker 1>they get every fucking penny out of your pocket. They've

<v Speaker 1>had a raw vault on Netflix now for what a

<v Speaker 1>year and a half, whatever it's been two years. It's

<v Speaker 1>it's pathetic. The selection of raws are pathetic on the

<v Speaker 1>Raw vault. The worst thing that ever happened was the

<v Speaker 1>WWE network going away. Bace Bears says, is La Night

<v Speaker 1>above Dominic in the rankings? Now? I mean you should be.

<v Speaker 1>He lost the fucking Dan Hausen and La Knight pinje Uso,

<v Speaker 1>so why wouldn't he be above him in the rankings

<v Speaker 1>if there were rankings. I meant to say, bron doesn't

<v Speaker 1>need the vision. Yes, I you and I so I

<v Speaker 1>knew exactly what you meant. Death Saith also says, I

<v Speaker 1>know live in Chelsea are on different brands, but I like,

<v Speaker 1>but like I keep saying, like that matters. Oh, it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. They could do whatever they want. Alex brother

<v Speaker 1>solo for a very brief moment when Roman and Seth

<v Speaker 1>were doing the shield fist thing, well they were fisting.

<v Speaker 1>That's what they were doing. You could you could say it.

<v Speaker 1>Roman and Seth were fisting in the middle of the

<v Speaker 1>ring at the end of SummerSlam. I mean, you just

<v Speaker 1>got to call it what it is. But he says,

<v Speaker 1>for a very brief moment, and when the music faded,

<v Speaker 1>I thought rock would come out. I keep telling people

<v Speaker 1>like they're like, oh, because there were some people even

<v Speaker 1>going into Summer Slom. Maybe the rock is going to

<v Speaker 1>come out. Maybe that's why they're doing Roman on night two,

<v Speaker 1>and the rock is going to come out. Like you guys,

<v Speaker 1>you got to give it up. You got to stop

<v Speaker 1>doing this to yourself. When will you learn? When will

<v Speaker 1>you learn your life? Bace Beers says, waiting for the

<v Speaker 1>next season of Raw Underground. They still do the underground

<v Speaker 1>stuff in NXT, don't they. NXT Underground. Nick Rosso glad

<v Speaker 1>to see Kevin Owens back, and I love that he

<v Speaker 1>showed love to Rebel during his post show speech and

<v Speaker 1>speaking of rebel love that aw was doing a rebel

<v Speaker 1>theme Dynamite and Britt Baker needs to be on that show. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they have a Rebel Heart edition of Dynamite coming up

<v Speaker 1>in early September to raise awareness and I think money

<v Speaker 1>for als to Ko shout her out on the post show.

<v Speaker 1>That's very cool. You know, Tony Kahn did the ice

<v Speaker 1>Bucket Challenge the other day and I was kind of

<v Speaker 1>low key hoping that he would nominate, like Paul Levek

<v Speaker 1>and Nick Kahn put them on the spot. They should

<v Speaker 1>totally do it. If there's one thing that I think

<v Speaker 1>all of this tribalist or competitive bullshit should be set

<v Speaker 1>aside for that's the sort of thing that should trump that.

<v Speaker 1>Jeremy says, so OVA wins Royal Rumble and then says

<v Speaker 1>that I'm owed two title shots now and we'll be

<v Speaker 1>in both nights main events and wins both belts. Goat. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>let's not do that. Let's not do that. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think that's a good idea. We have. Link Master is

<v Speaker 1>miss top one hundred of all time, excellent career, dude.

<v Speaker 1>I don't even have a top one hundred list. Is

<v Speaker 1>he top one hundred on my list if I had one, No,

<v Speaker 1>But I mean in WWE history, if you were basing

<v Speaker 1>it on accomplishments, sure, Sure, WWE Champion, twice, Intercontinental Champion,

<v Speaker 1>United States Champion, Tag team Champion, headline WrestleMania, money in

<v Speaker 1>the bank, the longevity that he's had in that company

<v Speaker 1>over twenty years. You know he's a WWE Hall of Famer.

<v Speaker 1>Is he in my top one hundred. No. There's been

<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that have been wrestling over these decades.

<v Speaker 1>Not everybody is going to be in the top one hundred.

<v Speaker 1>Big g say, he's not even in the top five hundred.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, you said it. I didn't say you

<v Speaker 1>said it. Aaron says buy or sell better, attires Sean

<v Speaker 1>Michaels or macho man. Oh, macho man. See the thing

<v Speaker 1>with macho men is he would wear some ridiculous outfits,

<v Speaker 1>but it just it worked for him because he was

<v Speaker 1>a fucking psycho, and you would think that a crazy

<v Speaker 1>guy like that would probably wear something like that. With Seth,

<v Speaker 1>when he does it, it's like he's trying to be

<v Speaker 1>macho man. He's trying too hard. For Macho. It just

<v Speaker 1>felt like it came natural. Does that make sense, didn't

<v Speaker 1>feel like he was playing a part, like that's who

<v Speaker 1>he is. Like I could believe that if he was

<v Speaker 1>walking around in his everyday life, he would have that

<v Speaker 1>like ridiculous hat on his head because he was probably

<v Speaker 1>trying to protect, you know, cover up the balding that

<v Speaker 1>he was going through. So I could picture him wearing

<v Speaker 1>a hat like that. All right, So the likes goal

<v Speaker 1>was a thousand. We are currently over eleven hundred, and

<v Speaker 1>we hit the bonus goal, which actually I'm going to start.

<v Speaker 1>We do these. We do these occasional bonuses where you know,

<v Speaker 1>if we hit it, we uh toss out bonus for actually,

<v Speaker 1>we might even toss out an intergender about that intergender round. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>it's an ambitious one. I just throw that out there

<v Speaker 1>one super chat, but it's a big one. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>that'll be the bonus bonus goal. But we did hit

<v Speaker 1>the bonus. You guys are awesome, and so let's go

<v Speaker 1>ahead and do it. It's time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>You're over two hours into this stream, and it is

<v Speaker 1>finally time to be the booker. A wink the cosmic Grandma,

<v Speaker 1>It says domter Ray. They're putting me over Sina Ray

<v Speaker 1>to Dom, so you can put over Dan Housen. That's right,

<v Speaker 1>you know, I forgot. I forgot that Dom did beat

<v Speaker 1>Seena at Survivor Series last year. Man and the Saint

<v Speaker 1>Claire says back at the Hotel from Summer Slim, it

<v Speaker 1>was good six out of ten. Yeah, I mean that

<v Speaker 1>sounds about right. I'm willing to go as high as

<v Speaker 1>seven for the for the entire weekend, but I can't

<v Speaker 1>go and that's I feel like that's being generous, but

<v Speaker 1>I can't go higher than that. It was not a

<v Speaker 1>great Summer Slim, but it had its moments, more so

<v Speaker 1>tonight than Night one. All right, here we go, tag

<v Speaker 1>Team be the booker. We have for Axiom, Nathan Fraser

<v Speaker 1>and Axium, the former NXT Tag Team champions. They were

<v Speaker 1>a great team in an X tape. They really were.

<v Speaker 1>We have Phraxium against the real Americans Cesaro and Jack Swagger.

<v Speaker 1>I think that would be a great match. I feel

<v Speaker 1>like those four would really work well together. You know,

<v Speaker 1>Phraxium is a smaller team. These guys are are bigger.

<v Speaker 1>They have the size advantage. Nathan Frazer is just ridiculous

<v Speaker 1>this when it comes to the speed that he wrestles,

<v Speaker 1>it's ridiculous. I think that could be a fun match.

<v Speaker 1>I do. All right, Women's be the booker. We have

<v Speaker 1>got Mayu Ewa Tani, a legend in her own right.

<v Speaker 1>Some people want to see her in WWE I don't

<v Speaker 1>not after the booking of Julie. Yeah, Mayu Ewaitani against

<v Speaker 1>the lovely Maurice. Always have a soft spot for Maurice.

<v Speaker 1>Her character work more than her in ring. Her character

<v Speaker 1>work was on point. And now we have our first

<v Speaker 1>main event and in the main event Ricky Saints who

<v Speaker 1>wrestled Carmelo Hayes on main event last week, Ricky Saints

<v Speaker 1>said did not make his first Summer slim. Maybe next

<v Speaker 1>year Mayu would murder Maurice. Well that I mean that

<v Speaker 1>goes without saying Ricky Saints against c Punk and funny enough,

<v Speaker 1>we actually have seen that match before. That is a

<v Speaker 1>match that we have gotten before. I believe we were

<v Speaker 1>supposed to get that in a strap match, weren't we

<v Speaker 1>But we ended up getting him and Danielson instead because

<v Speaker 1>Punk Punk, Left Punk Went Away? Is that the sequence

<v Speaker 1>of events? Am I remembering correctly? Okay, you guys have

<v Speaker 1>unlocked a bonus round. You get one more round of

<v Speaker 1>be the booker. Can we do the double sweep? I

<v Speaker 1>got the chime ready and waiting if we do. Our

<v Speaker 1>first match is going to be a buried alive match.

<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Julia, I feel like we should start with

<v Speaker 1>the women in tribute to her. We're gonna have a

<v Speaker 1>women's buried live match. You know Julia is in here.

<v Speaker 1>It would be very appropriate if we landed on her.

<v Speaker 1>You hear me, be the booker, I'm talking to you.

<v Speaker 1>I know you can hear me. Some of the people

<v Speaker 1>that we land on sometimes you can hear every word.

<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, we need Julia in this buried live match.

<v Speaker 1>Bianca bell Aire, God, I miss Bianca? Oh? I missed

<v Speaker 1>Bianca Belair. Did she have her baby yet? She looked

<v Speaker 1>like she was ready to pop Like over a week ago.

<v Speaker 1>Bianca in a buried live match against Who against Ivory

<v Speaker 1>Bianca and Ivory. See Ivory was a good wrestler. People

<v Speaker 1>don't realize that she goes back to the glow days.

<v Speaker 1>This was a shitty gimmick. But ginam already. I mean

<v Speaker 1>she was a good wrestler. Her and Bianca. I think

<v Speaker 1>they could put together a very good match. Our second match,

<v Speaker 1>a brawl for All match. Oh god, yeah, Naomi. I

<v Speaker 1>forgot about Naomi too. Yeah, where's Naomi? It's been over

<v Speaker 1>a year. Actually it actually, no, it hasn't. It's been

<v Speaker 1>about a year. It's been about a year. All right,

<v Speaker 1>brawl for all match. There are some people who just

<v Speaker 1>don't belong in a brawl for All match. Let's hope

<v Speaker 1>we don't pick those people tonight. Now, this guy looks

<v Speaker 1>like he just came from a Brawl for All match.

<v Speaker 1>We have Eddie Kingston, the Mad King. You'll be able

<v Speaker 1>to see him this far in the main event of

<v Speaker 1>House of Glory, challenging Charles Mason for the World Championship.

<v Speaker 1>I may have to insist that we get this version

<v Speaker 1>of Eddie when he shows up. Take I mean, look

<v Speaker 1>at this guy. Does he not look like he would

<v Speaker 1>belong in a Brawl for All match? Come on, it's

<v Speaker 1>very appropriate. Eddie Kingston and Buddy Matthews. I think Eddie

<v Speaker 1>is going down. I'm sorry, Eddie, but I think you're

<v Speaker 1>done for I think we can. I think we can

<v Speaker 1>all agree on the outcome of this match. All right,

<v Speaker 1>last one. Here we go, the final main event of

<v Speaker 1>the evening. We are so close to perfection. We are

<v Speaker 1>so close. I could taste that, I could feel it.

<v Speaker 1>A Texas Death match. I mean, we've seen so many

<v Speaker 1>of these. I feel nothing. We know it's gonna be violent,

<v Speaker 1>we know it's gonna be gory, we know it's gonna

<v Speaker 1>be bloody. I know. We got Hangman floating around in

<v Speaker 1>here somewhere right. He's been in some Texas Death matches

<v Speaker 1>in his day. We have Cruse Montana as he is

<v Speaker 1>currently known to me, he will always be Mike Santana.

<v Speaker 1>Mike Santana, Cruz Montana in a Texas death match against

<v Speaker 1>Jack Perry. Oh boy, Jack Perry is going to suffer

<v Speaker 1>a grizzly fate here in this Texas deathmatch. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>with Cruz Montana. He's my pick to win. See, he's

<v Speaker 1>in New Yorker. He's in New Yorker. This guy right here,

<v Speaker 1>he's from Hollywood. He don't stand the chance. Yeah, real glass.

<v Speaker 1>He'll get some glass, all right, He'll get some glass

<v Speaker 1>in his eye. That's what he'll get. Man, I love

<v Speaker 1>that chi, I love that chime. I love it when

<v Speaker 1>we go back to back like that with the sweeps.

<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. All right, final super chats here we have

<v Speaker 1>Holiday one ninety seven. Punk versus Owens had the potential

<v Speaker 1>to be great, especially if they turn it or I

<v Speaker 1>think you mean has the potential if they turn it

<v Speaker 1>into a heated feud and extend it over a few matches.

<v Speaker 1>But Owens won't win the title, even though he deserves it. Well,

<v Speaker 1>he should win the title. I endorse a Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>run as the WWE champion, and so does Deadly Ace,

<v Speaker 1>right right, Welcome to the channel. Look how excited Cody is.

<v Speaker 1>And then we have link Master. Never forget Shinsky Nakamora

<v Speaker 1>won a royal rumble. Indeed he did. Don't forget that.

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens has never been the WWE champion, and he's

<v Speaker 1>been on television here for about a decade. But Ginder

<v Speaker 1>Mahal has always remember that. Let that seep into your brain.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys for hanging out with me two nights

<v Speaker 1>in a row. We had a big night on night one.

<v Speaker 1>We had a bigger night here on night two. You

<v Speaker 1>guys killed it. Well over eleven hundred likes killed it

<v Speaker 1>on the super chats, a lot of great questions, some

<v Speaker 1>weird ones. I'm not gonna lie, there were some weird

<v Speaker 1>ones in there too. But that was a very busy

<v Speaker 1>weekend of wrestling. If you missed the Sound of Today

<v Speaker 1>episode nine seventy four, yes there was a sound off

<v Speaker 1>sandwiched in between all of this Summer Slam madness covered

<v Speaker 1>a lot of ground on there. I didn't get to

<v Speaker 1>the aw stuff. I'm gonna save that. I have a

<v Speaker 1>bunch of aw thoughts coming out of Dynamite last week.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna save that for the Uncrowned Wrestling show on Tuesday.

<v Speaker 1>That's the beauty of having Uncrowned on Tuesdays. Not only

<v Speaker 1>talk about all the big news stories, but anything I

<v Speaker 1>didn't have time for or anything that may have broken

<v Speaker 1>after the Sound of We'll cover that on Tuesday, but

<v Speaker 1>go check that out. It includes my dark Side of

<v Speaker 1>the Ring review on the Big boss Man episode from

<v Speaker 1>this past week. Tomorrow we start a brand new week

<v Speaker 1>and we have the Raw post show, first Raw coming

<v Speaker 1>out of Summer Slam, so we're gonna and the debut

<v Speaker 1>the return of Big Casts on Raw will he have

<v Speaker 1>Enzo with him. Are they saving Enzo as a surprise

<v Speaker 1>or are they truly gonna bring him in on his

<v Speaker 1>own as a single I hope they do. Tuesday will

<v Speaker 1>be as I mentioned, Uncrowned. That'll be dropping later in

<v Speaker 1>the day and then live on Tuesday Night for Tuesday

<v Speaker 1>Night Titans. Wednesday is the Dynamite post show, which is

<v Speaker 1>also the Grand Slam Mexico post show, which is looking

<v Speaker 1>very stacked. I will not be here on Friday for SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>I will be live at the NYC Arena. For House

<v Speaker 1>of Glory, we are gonna be streaming the entire show

<v Speaker 1>live and free for the first time on the House

<v Speaker 1>of Glory YouTube channel, So if you want to drop in,

<v Speaker 1>you'll hear me on commentary for that show. We got

<v Speaker 1>a lot of big names coming in. It's gonna be big.

<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be a very busy week. Let's have

<v Speaker 1>a very strong month of August. I can't do it

<v Speaker 1>without you, guys. Navy forty one eighty one do you

<v Speaker 1>think Gunther's Boston crab on Finn was an homage to

<v Speaker 1>Rick Martel, who was in attendance. I hope it increases

<v Speaker 1>the chances of a Hall of Fame induction. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I think I've seen I mean, Gunter's done that move before,

<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna say no. I mean, it would be

<v Speaker 1>kind of cool if it was. I don't think so, though. Youause,

<v Speaker 1>somebody mentioned in the chat before about Seth's entrance, and

<v Speaker 1>I thought I saw something. I didn't comment on it

<v Speaker 1>because I wasn't sure it was. So it was so

<v Speaker 1>quick when they did the shield intro bit before they

<v Speaker 1>played Seth's current theme music, I thought I saw a

<v Speaker 1>silhouette over by the stage where it looked like Seth

<v Speaker 1>might be coming out in the tactical gear, and then

<v Speaker 1>they just played his current music and then he just

<v Speaker 1>came out in his clown outfit. So, I mean, it

<v Speaker 1>looked to me like I thought Seth was maybe in

<v Speaker 1>the shield gear. But maybe maybe I just was seeing things,

<v Speaker 1>or maybe they was some decoy that they had dressed

<v Speaker 1>up as Seth from the shield but you could kind

<v Speaker 1>of just barely make it out. I did notice that,

<v Speaker 1>but I thought maybe I was just imagining things. You

<v Speaker 1>saw it too, okay, so I wasn't the only one. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe they had somebody dressed up as Seth.

<v Speaker 1>And whoever it was, you just saw the outline of them.

<v Speaker 1>It's weird, though, because how many people even picked up

<v Speaker 1>on that, Like the people in the stadium, did they

<v Speaker 1>even see that? Would they even have noticed? Hey, Saint Clair,

<v Speaker 1>you were there, did you even notice that? Anyway, the

<v Speaker 1>shield is dead. Now we could finally move beyond that.

<v Speaker 1>It only took fourteen years. It's time to move on.

<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm gonna do right now. Have yourselves a

<v Speaker 1>good night. I'll see you for the raw post show

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and all the other content. Thank you, guys for

<v Speaker 1>the love. I appreciate it.
