<v Speaker 1>One week out from their title match in Toronto, which

<v Speaker 1>is coming up on SmackDown next Friday. We got a

<v Speaker 1>face to face between CM Punk and Kevin Owens, and

<v Speaker 1>it was better than the one that we had between

<v Speaker 1>CM Punk and Cody Rhodes leading into Summer Slim. You know,

<v Speaker 1>I remember talking about that here in the SmackDown review

<v Speaker 1>and how I was looking forward to that first face

<v Speaker 1>to face with Cody and Punk, and I was just

<v Speaker 1>very disappointed. It was very flat. We didn't have that

<v Speaker 1>issue tonight with punkin Ko. That was one of the

<v Speaker 1>highlights of the show. The main event was supposed to

<v Speaker 1>be Cody Roads one on one against Sammy z Ain.

<v Speaker 1>That did not happen when Randy Orton got involved and

<v Speaker 1>then they proceeded to run back virtually the same exact

<v Speaker 1>angle they did on the Road to WrestleMania this year,

<v Speaker 1>just with a little bit of a twist on it.

<v Speaker 1>So we had a little bit of a chaotic ending

<v Speaker 1>there to end the show. Nothing terribly original. When they

<v Speaker 1>went off the air tonight, Chelsea Green, she is the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Women's Champion. No mention of the word interim last week.

<v Speaker 1>No mention of the word interim tonight, so I think

<v Speaker 1>we can officially call her the Women's Champion. The question

<v Speaker 1>is would we be able to still call her that

<v Speaker 1>by the time we got to smack Down tonight because

<v Speaker 1>she suffered an injury last week and there was a

<v Speaker 1>lot of question about the severity of it. Were they

<v Speaker 1>going to strip her of the belt or are they

<v Speaker 1>going to keep the belt on her? We got our

<v Speaker 1>answer tonight and the storyline that they did what they

<v Speaker 1>did at the beginning of the show. I really really

<v Speaker 1>liked one of the highlights of the of the night tonight.

<v Speaker 1>So she is still the Women's Champion for now. That's

<v Speaker 1>the little asterisk next to it for now. And we

<v Speaker 1>had not one, but two title changes on this show.

<v Speaker 1>He actually had three title matches on this show. Both

<v Speaker 1>United States Championships were defended, and the WWE Tag Team

<v Speaker 1>titles were on the line as well. Two of those

<v Speaker 1>three championships changed hands. We have a brand new Women's

<v Speaker 1>United States Champion and we have brand new tag team champions,

<v Speaker 1>which should not be a surprise to anybody. Once you

<v Speaker 1>saw Haku brought in as the manager for the MFTs,

<v Speaker 1>that should have told you right there that the belts

<v Speaker 1>were coming home to the MFTs and it only took

<v Speaker 1>a few weeks. But that's exactly what happened here on

<v Speaker 1>this show. I will say I enjoyed the episode tonight

<v Speaker 1>more than the average SmackDown, even though we got very

<v Speaker 1>little in the way of actual good wrestling on this show.

<v Speaker 1>That was the big thing that was missing. Corbin and Mellow.

<v Speaker 1>They had a US title match that would be the

<v Speaker 1>de facto best match on the show, and even that

<v Speaker 1>wasn't anything terribly special. So we did get we didn't

<v Speaker 1>get any special matches on this show, but again it

<v Speaker 1>was newsworthy in that we had a couple of title changes,

<v Speaker 1>we had a couple of other things going on that

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed, and so between the opening segment and the

<v Speaker 1>Ko and punk stuff, by and large, I enjoyed this.

<v Speaker 1>Like I said, better than your average episode of SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>We're not going to declare that SmackDown has turned things around.

<v Speaker 1>This is not the beginning of a trend. We need

<v Speaker 1>this to happen a few more times. But better than

<v Speaker 1>the average fair that we get on Friday nights, let's

<v Speaker 1>talk about it. This is your SmackDown review. It is

<v Speaker 1>Friday night, August fourteen, twenty twenty six. I am the

<v Speaker 1>solid Monster. Thank you for being with me tonight, closing

<v Speaker 1>out your week with yours. Truly, do me a favor.

<v Speaker 1>Hit that subscribe button, hit that like button. Superchats are open.

<v Speaker 1>I know we've had a whole bunch that have come

<v Speaker 1>in so far. I will be reading your messages here

<v Speaker 1>in just a little bit. Take the wheel for a spin,

<v Speaker 1>see if we can possibly perhaps do our be the

<v Speaker 1>booker segment a little bit later on here in the stream.

<v Speaker 1>We got a bonus goal going as well. If you

<v Speaker 1>want to drop a super chat, it'll go towards that.

<v Speaker 1>But let's spin the wheel now and see what we

<v Speaker 1>land on. We landed on five point fifteen, so five

<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifteen likes. That is the goal. So say

<v Speaker 1>the wheel. If we hit that, we are guaranteed to

<v Speaker 1>do B to B a little bit later on here

<v Speaker 1>in the stream. Get those thumbs ready, Yeah, spin the bottle,

<v Speaker 1>says Venom Caitets. The bottle has landed, So five point

<v Speaker 1>fifteen is the goal. Let's get into this here, because

<v Speaker 1>this right here was what ended up being, honestly, you

<v Speaker 1>know what, this probably was the best set on the show.

<v Speaker 1>He was certainly one of the top two. But we

<v Speaker 1>opened the show tonight. Nick Alldis, the SmackDown General manager,

<v Speaker 1>was already standing in the ring, and he was in

<v Speaker 1>the ring to address the women's championship situation. Now, for

<v Speaker 1>those of you who do not know, and I don't

<v Speaker 1>know why you wouldn't know, because you were probably watching

<v Speaker 1>the show last week. If you didn't watch the show,

<v Speaker 1>then you were probably listening to the sound off, And

<v Speaker 1>if you didn't do any of those things, then shame

<v Speaker 1>on you. Last week, Chelsea Green had her championship celebration,

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany Stratton came out, Fatal Influence came out. This all

<v Speaker 1>led to a tag team match. It was Chelsea and

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany against Fatal Influence. In the course of that match,

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea got hurt. She had her orbital bone broken. Now

<v Speaker 1>I believe it happened on the finish when Lany Reid

<v Speaker 1>and Fallon Henley delivered their fatal Flaw finish. Because it

<v Speaker 1>looked very wonky and very dangerous. They credited jac Jane

<v Speaker 1>with the injury because right before that she from the

<v Speaker 1>floor outside she delivered the rolling encore. Going back and

<v Speaker 1>watching it, I don't think that's where it happened. I

<v Speaker 1>think they're just trying to give her credit for it.

<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't matter. She was hurt. It was a

<v Speaker 1>legitimate injury, and it sucks because I mean, it always

<v Speaker 1>sucks to get hurt. But if you're Chelsea Green and

<v Speaker 1>you just had the biggest moment of your career, you

<v Speaker 1>won this big ladder match at Summer Slam that wasn't

<v Speaker 1>even supposed to happen. It only happened because the champion

<v Speaker 1>was hurt, she was entered into the match, she got

<v Speaker 1>to pull down the championship. Chelsea Green is the women's

<v Speaker 1>champion for the first time in her career, and then

<v Speaker 1>her very first show coming out of Summer Slim, not

<v Speaker 1>even one week later, she gets her face broken. And

<v Speaker 1>it's like she said in her promo tonight, and I

<v Speaker 1>think she said it in the social media video that

<v Speaker 1>she put out earlier in the week. If she didn't

<v Speaker 1>have bad luck, she wouldn't have any luck at all.

<v Speaker 1>It's just one thing after another. So here we are now,

<v Speaker 1>nick All, this has a decision to make. Is he

<v Speaker 1>going to strip her of the championship. Wouldn't make a

<v Speaker 1>whole lot of sense if she did need surgery, because,

<v Speaker 1>as we've seen with other champions, if the champion is

<v Speaker 1>not going to be able to defend her title for

<v Speaker 1>a relatively short period of time, then that shouldn't be

<v Speaker 1>an impedance to her holding on to the title. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>he's in the ring and he said, after speaking to

<v Speaker 1>WWE medical Chelsea Green, would you please come on down

<v Speaker 1>to the ring, and he introduced the Women's champion who

<v Speaker 1>came out with a black eye. All this told her

<v Speaker 1>that he knows how hard she's worked and how much

<v Speaker 1>that moment meant to her at SummerSlam, but he cannot

<v Speaker 1>in good conscience allow her to compete with a broken

<v Speaker 1>eye socket. To Chelsea, before he could actually make any

<v Speaker 1>sort of proclamation here, she said, look, I'm begging you,

<v Speaker 1>don't do what I think you're about to do. Right

<v Speaker 1>she's trying to talk him out of it. He hasn't

<v Speaker 1>even announced it yet, but she could see where this

<v Speaker 1>is going, and all this says, this is the part

<v Speaker 1>of the job that I hate the most, but I

<v Speaker 1>need you to relinquish your WWE Women's championship. And the

<v Speaker 1>crowd booed, now, I should point out in coming out

<v Speaker 1>to the ring, and as we got a little bit

<v Speaker 1>deeper into this promo. Here, these people were going nuts

<v Speaker 1>for Chelsea Green. They were loud for her, honestly louder

<v Speaker 1>than almost anything else on the show, because this crowd

<v Speaker 1>in Boston tonight was actually pretty tame and pretty quiet

<v Speaker 1>during some of the other segments on this show, but

<v Speaker 1>they were allowed for Chelsea. They were chanting her name,

<v Speaker 1>they were chanting you deserve it. And so Chelsea at

<v Speaker 1>this point says, I knew it was too good to

<v Speaker 1>be true. She was just waiting for the other's shoe

<v Speaker 1>to drop, because every accomplishment in her career has been

<v Speaker 1>followed by some sort of tragedy. She talked about all

<v Speaker 1>the obstacles and embarrassing moments that she's had to overcome

<v Speaker 1>over the years in WWE, from throwing herself into dumpsters

<v Speaker 1>and breaking bones and having pies put in her face

<v Speaker 1>and all kinds of stuff, and every night she went

<v Speaker 1>to bed, she knew that it was worth it for

<v Speaker 1>the moment of one day becoming the WWE Women's Champion,

<v Speaker 1>and she made it and the crowd cheers, and she

<v Speaker 1>compared her situation to all this is at Summer Slim

<v Speaker 1>and how they both had, you know, proven that it

<v Speaker 1>didn't matter what they thought of them. What mattered was

<v Speaker 1>what we think of ourselves. She said, As far as

<v Speaker 1>she's concerned, the title is hers until someone takes it

<v Speaker 1>from her. So she said that Nick, you were a champion,

<v Speaker 1>your wife was a champion, and you got to share

<v Speaker 1>that beautiful moment in the ring together at Summer sleeven.

<v Speaker 1>If anybody could understand what she was going through, it

<v Speaker 1>was Nick all this, but he had already made the

<v Speaker 1>announcement of what he wanted. She took the belt off

<v Speaker 1>from around her waist. She handed the championship over to him.

<v Speaker 1>The people booed. All this sees her. Halfway down the aisle,

<v Speaker 1>he says, Chelsea. Wait, he said, as the general manager,

<v Speaker 1>I believe I'm doing the right thing, but as a man,

<v Speaker 1>I don't give a damn what medical thinks. It says.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give you thirty days to do what you

<v Speaker 1>need to do to get yourself cleared. Go get a mask,

<v Speaker 1>do whatever you need to do. But until such time

<v Speaker 1>you will be you will remain the WWE Women's Champion.

<v Speaker 1>If she took back the championship and everybody cheered, everybody

<v Speaker 1>was all happy. Then we hear Now, of all the

<v Speaker 1>music I would have been expecting to hear at this moment,

<v Speaker 1>the music I was not expecting was Gunther's. So Gunther

<v Speaker 1>comes down to the ring. So now we have Nick

<v Speaker 1>all this, we have Gunther, and we have Chelsea Green

<v Speaker 1>all in the ring together. It tells all this, Nick,

<v Speaker 1>it's time that we get some more important business that

<v Speaker 1>people actually care about. And he demanded that all this

<v Speaker 1>tell him, why did you insert Kevin Owens into my

<v Speaker 1>match at Summerslim? And all this told him, first of

<v Speaker 1>all conducting other business here, But you have it all wrong.

<v Speaker 1>I didn't insert you, or rather I didn't insert Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Owens into your match. I inserted you into Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>match because the negotiations with Owens and you know, for

<v Speaker 1>his return that was going on for months leading up

<v Speaker 1>to SummerSlam. And he goes, not my fault that you

<v Speaker 1>didn't get the job done. So Chelsea piped up, she

<v Speaker 1>said I was a good one, and Gunher told Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>to shut up. She asked, oh, did I hurt your fragile,

<v Speaker 1>little male ego, because that's all you have left is

<v Speaker 1>I look around this ring. The only person with a championship.

<v Speaker 1>The only person who is a champion in this ring

<v Speaker 1>right now is me. So Gunther got up at her face.

<v Speaker 1>This prompted Matt Cardona to run down. He got into

<v Speaker 1>the ring to come to his wife's defense, and Gunther

<v Speaker 1>is just looking at him. And Gunther is laughing, and

<v Speaker 1>he said, look at that all the way from catering

<v Speaker 1>to the rescue and the crab may not have reacted

<v Speaker 1>to much tonight, but they did laugh at that line.

<v Speaker 1>He goes, Let's be honest, what are you gonna do

<v Speaker 1>to me? Said, I could call your girl every slur

<v Speaker 1>in the world right in front of you, and there

<v Speaker 1>is nothing that you could do to me. And Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>is trying to back her man down and saying it's

<v Speaker 1>not worth it. Just leave, get out of here. And

<v Speaker 1>that prompted Gunther as it looked like they were leaving,

<v Speaker 1>and Chelsea got out of the ring first. It prompted

<v Speaker 1>Gunther to say, every good dog listens to its owner.

<v Speaker 1>So Cardona turned around that that was a line that

<v Speaker 1>you know you don't cross, and so he attacked gun

<v Speaker 1>there he knocked him down. Gunther rolled out to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>I thought that this was a great opening segment. This

<v Speaker 1>was very different from your typical opening here on SmackDown.

<v Speaker 1>It just sucks that it came about due to an injury.

<v Speaker 1>But in the segment, they turned Chelsea Green into the

<v Speaker 1>biggest babyface in that division, one of the biggest baby

<v Speaker 1>faces on the entire show. Like I said, the crowd

<v Speaker 1>in Boston, they were behind her one hundred percent. And

<v Speaker 1>you know, it's got to be music to your ears

<v Speaker 1>if you're Chelsea Green, because that fan response, right is

<v Speaker 1>exactly what she needs. That's exactly what if you're Chelsea Green.

<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what you want the people in the back

<v Speaker 1>to hear, like, hey see, they believe they've bought into it.

<v Speaker 1>They're behind me. You've got to keep that rolling. You've

<v Speaker 1>got to take advantage of that. You just stick with

<v Speaker 1>me here, right, That's what she's got to be thinking

<v Speaker 1>right now. So it was just the perfect time for

<v Speaker 1>her to get that kind of reaction, and it shows them,

<v Speaker 1>you know, you would hope in their mind that you know,

<v Speaker 1>she could succeed in that role. Is the top baby

<v Speaker 1>face at least until Riha comes back. But Rihea is

<v Speaker 1>not going to be around for months. The top babyface

<v Speaker 1>in that Women's Division, And I would also say that

<v Speaker 1>it clearly is a good sign that they are giving

<v Speaker 1>her thirty days to get cleared. At least that's the storyline,

<v Speaker 1>because if she was going to need surgery and it

<v Speaker 1>was more serious than we were led to believe, they

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be doing this angle like him taking the championship

<v Speaker 1>from her. That would have been a real thing and

<v Speaker 1>that would have been the end of her run. So

<v Speaker 1>I take it as a positive sign that they didn't

<v Speaker 1>get any sort of negative progress report. Maybe they legitimately

<v Speaker 1>are just going to monitor her injury for a few

<v Speaker 1>weeks and then make a determination at that point, but

<v Speaker 1>that's not how this came across. Yeah, the entire way

<v Speaker 1>they did this angle, it struck me as Okay, we

<v Speaker 1>got a sense of how long she'll be out for.

<v Speaker 1>We don't have to take the belt off her, So

<v Speaker 1>let's come up with this story. We'll give her thirty days.

<v Speaker 1>We'll build drama right into the countdown. Every single week

<v Speaker 1>that goes by. Is Chelsea going to be able to

<v Speaker 1>get cleared in time? And then she will, She'll wear

<v Speaker 1>a mask and everything should be okay. That's the sense

<v Speaker 1>that I got from it. But again, there's no reason

<v Speaker 1>to take the title off of her unless she needs surgery.

<v Speaker 1>If she needs surgery, she's going to be out for

<v Speaker 1>an extended period of time, and in that case, there's

<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot you can do. Otherwise, there is

<v Speaker 1>zero reason to take that championship off of her, especially

<v Speaker 1>when they didn't do that for Rheo Ripley. Now, of course,

<v Speaker 1>the fact that they're even putting a thirty day countdown

<v Speaker 1>clock on her or any sort of deadline like a

<v Speaker 1>thirty day deadline on her in storyline is completely preposterous.

<v Speaker 1>Given the fact that we have had not won but

<v Speaker 1>two women's champions in recent months, really going back to

<v Speaker 1>the end of last year, the beginning of this year,

<v Speaker 1>and then more recently with liv Morgan, we've had two

<v Speaker 1>different women's champions on two different shows that have gone

<v Speaker 1>in excess of one hundred days without a single title defense.

<v Speaker 1>So like the fact that what you got to get

<v Speaker 1>cleared in thirty days, not thirty one days, not sixty days.

<v Speaker 1>You got to get cleared in thirty or else I'm

<v Speaker 1>going to have no choice but to take the belt

<v Speaker 1>off of you. Right bullshit. The whole thing is complete bullshit.

<v Speaker 1>But then again, there's a lot of bullshit that happens

<v Speaker 1>that doesn't make any sense on these shows, so why

<v Speaker 1>should this be any different. Gunther I thought was just

<v Speaker 1>a tremendous douchebag here in this segment. I wish he

<v Speaker 1>had a clearer direction. I mean, I guess he kind

<v Speaker 1>of does based on what they did with him later

<v Speaker 1>in the show. But I thought he played his part

<v Speaker 1>perfectly here in this segment. As far as Cardona goes,

<v Speaker 1>it led to exactly what you would imagine it would

<v Speaker 1>because after a commercial break it was Gunther one on

<v Speaker 1>one in an impromptu match against Matt Cardona. Both men

<v Speaker 1>competed here in street clothes. Gunther he power hold on

<v Speaker 1>a second so Ben says, just announced Blake versus Julia?

<v Speaker 1>Did they announce it? I didn't hear them mentioned at

<v Speaker 1>all on this show, come to think of it, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>there was nothing with Blake Monroe on this show at all,

<v Speaker 1>no vignette, nothing backstage. So Gunther again, they're wrestling in

<v Speaker 1>street clothes here in this match. Gunther wrestling in street

<v Speaker 1>clothes is very weird. He power bombed Cardona onto the

<v Speaker 1>announced desk outside, then onto the apron Gunher was ready

<v Speaker 1>to take the count out when cardonas slid back in

<v Speaker 1>just in time. Gunher dropped him with a Larry and

<v Speaker 1>then he's mocking Chelsea because Chelsea is out there in

<v Speaker 1>her husband's corner. He's looking out at her. Look at

<v Speaker 1>your husband. He's mocking her. He delivered a back saido

<v Speaker 1>suplex dropped Cardona right on the back of his head.

<v Speaker 1>He again mocked Chelsea. This time she got up on

<v Speaker 1>the apron and behind the referees back Cardona. As Gunther

<v Speaker 1>turns around, Cardona kicks him right in the dick and

<v Speaker 1>then he hits a rough rider and everybody in the

<v Speaker 1>crowd is buying into the possibility that this could be

<v Speaker 1>the end here, and so he drops him with a

<v Speaker 1>rough rider and he covers him only gets a close

<v Speaker 1>near fall out of it. Cardona. He goes for another one,

<v Speaker 1>but Gunther catches him into a power bomb position. He

<v Speaker 1>slams him, picks him up, hits another power bomb, and

<v Speaker 1>then he transitions into a Boston crab and immediately, I

<v Speaker 1>mean he didn't waste any time at all. Immediately Cardona

<v Speaker 1>begins to tap out, and that is it. A Boston

<v Speaker 1>crab in Boston. The perfect finish here for this match.

<v Speaker 1>After the match Nia Jackson the Lash Legend, they come out,

<v Speaker 1>Nya called Chelsea pathetic for being injured after winning the championship.

<v Speaker 1>She said those thirty days were ticking down and she

<v Speaker 1>wanted a shot at the women's title. So they were

<v Speaker 1>both threatening Chelsea. They were inching closer to her. Here

<v Speaker 1>comes Tiffany Stratton out for the save, but they ended

<v Speaker 1>up putting Tiffany down and they hurt her. This is

<v Speaker 1>right before Tiffany's title defense later in the show against

<v Speaker 1>jac Jane, and she had her ribs all busted up here.

<v Speaker 1>All Chelsea did, all she could do was just stand there.

<v Speaker 1>She's in the ring, standing there. She can't do anything

<v Speaker 1>because she's not cleared, and she's begging for someone to

<v Speaker 1>come out and help put a stop to this. So

<v Speaker 1>at this point, I'm watching this and I'm thinking before

<v Speaker 1>and this is before what even happened later in the show.

<v Speaker 1>I'm watching this and I'm thinking if that leads to

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany losing her title later, which it sure felt like

<v Speaker 1>that's where we were headed after this. Once Chelsea is

<v Speaker 1>cleared to Wressell in thirty or whatever it is, it

<v Speaker 1>would be the perfect setup for Tiffany to turn heel

<v Speaker 1>on Chelsea and then challenge to take her championship away

<v Speaker 1>from her, because that's what she should be anyway, is

<v Speaker 1>a heel, and now she has the perfect story to

<v Speaker 1>set it up. Works out perfectly. Trade the US title

<v Speaker 1>to go after the bigger belt. Now you have a

<v Speaker 1>real reason for doing so, right, She could put all

<v Speaker 1>the blame on Chelsea. This is all your fault. You

<v Speaker 1>wanted to be friends with me, You got me to

<v Speaker 1>care about you, and then me trying to be the

<v Speaker 1>nice friend that I am. I end up losing my championship.

<v Speaker 1>I want yours right. Story sells itself. They showed footage

<v Speaker 1>of Alexa Bliss and Tatum Pasley showing up at the

<v Speaker 1>end of the main event last week between Charlotte Flair

<v Speaker 1>and Jade Cargill. This was Tatum's debut. She is now

<v Speaker 1>officially aligned with Charlotte and Alexa. So we come back

<v Speaker 1>live and Charlotte's in the back with Alexa there walking

<v Speaker 1>down the hallway and Charlotte is thanking her for the

<v Speaker 1>save last week, and alexis as well, don't thank me,

<v Speaker 1>that was all Tatum, and she thanks Charlotte, you know,

<v Speaker 1>for you know, being nice to her. Flare said, look,

<v Speaker 1>that was a one time thing, her being nice to Tatum,

<v Speaker 1>I guess, and Bliss said, well, Tatum has a surprise

<v Speaker 1>for you, really for the both of them. She opens

<v Speaker 1>the door to what looks like the broom closet and

<v Speaker 1>Tatum Paxley is in this very small again closet and

<v Speaker 1>it's made out to look like a shrine where they

<v Speaker 1>have photos of Charlotte, I think Charlotte and Alexa on

<v Speaker 1>the walls. And so they both go into the room

<v Speaker 1>with her. The door closes behind them. I don't know why.

<v Speaker 1>And that was the segment. They both looked very creeped

<v Speaker 1>out by Tatum Pasley. So she's going to be their

<v Speaker 1>weird little friend, I guess. Going forward, we got a

<v Speaker 1>recap of last week promo. Really, that's really all it

<v Speaker 1>was with Cody Roads and Randy Orton. This was the

<v Speaker 1>promo where Cody said to him, I no longer constrained

<v Speaker 1>by the standards of the Championship. I no longer have

<v Speaker 1>to be the good guy. So after that we see

<v Speaker 1>Live in the back Cody walks up to Nick Aldus

<v Speaker 1>and he wants him to book him a match against

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton, and all just said, you know, we have

<v Speaker 1>this event coming up at the beginning of next month.

<v Speaker 1>It's the Sunday before Labor Day, a little event called

<v Speaker 1>Sunday Night's Main Event, which just so happens to be

<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta, GA, which he knows is a very special

<v Speaker 1>place to Cody. Cody's a Georgia guy, and so he

<v Speaker 1>can make the match for that show. And Cody, really,

<v Speaker 1>all Cody is interested in is just getting the match.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter to him when it is. Sammy's ain

<v Speaker 1>shows up and he bitches about Cody being the Golden

<v Speaker 1>Boy and getting whatever he wanted. I had to earn

<v Speaker 1>my title shot in a four way match, and yet

<v Speaker 1>Cody just has to say when. So Cody said, look,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to have any of this shit. I

<v Speaker 1>told you, I don't owe you anything. He's going off

<v Speaker 1>on Sammy, He's getting all animated and he challenges him

<v Speaker 1>to do something about it, and Sammy said, well I

<v Speaker 1>did what nobody else has been able to do. He says,

<v Speaker 1>I pined you clean in the middle of the ring,

<v Speaker 1>and this led to a match being made because Cody said, well,

<v Speaker 1>you want to do something about it. Why don't we

<v Speaker 1>do it tonight. Sammy was like, I can't. I'm hurt,

<v Speaker 1>and he showed he had the brace on for his

<v Speaker 1>carpal tunnels. He had the brace on his hand, on

<v Speaker 1>his wrist and all this says, well, you can't or

<v Speaker 1>you won't. He goes, I'll tell you what I'll do.

<v Speaker 1>I'll sweeten the pot a little bit. You take this

<v Speaker 1>match tonight, you beat Cody Rhodes, you get the winner

<v Speaker 1>of the match next week between CM Punk and Kevin Owens,

<v Speaker 1>and you get yourself a WWE championship match. So he

<v Speaker 1>was willing to give that to sam Bey, zaying if

<v Speaker 1>he would accept the main event tonight, which he did,

<v Speaker 1>and so the main event was made official for later

<v Speaker 1>in the show. After this, we had our first of

<v Speaker 1>three championship matches of the night. We had our first

<v Speaker 1>of two US title matches. It was Baron Corbin defending

<v Speaker 1>the United States Championship against the former champion, Carmelo Hayes.

<v Speaker 1>The crowd may have been quiet for a lot on

<v Speaker 1>this show, they were loud though. For Mellow, they gave

<v Speaker 1>him a nice hometown welcome he's from the area. Unfortunately,

<v Speaker 1>they could not be bothered to give a shit about

<v Speaker 1>Corbin when he came out, he rode out on stage

<v Speaker 1>again on his motorcycle like the American bald ass. So

<v Speaker 1>the US title unfortunately still has the white fur on

<v Speaker 1>the edges. And if that isn't a sign that they're

<v Speaker 1>just going to put the belt back on trick very soon,

<v Speaker 1>then I don't know what is the law. Like every

<v Speaker 1>week that goes by, and he's now beaten trick twice

<v Speaker 1>every week that goes by, that he does not shave

<v Speaker 1>that shit off, or they don't send him out there

<v Speaker 1>with the old UA title without the white fur. It

<v Speaker 1>just is a dead giveaway that the belt is going

<v Speaker 1>back to trick in the next few weeks. So unfortunately

<v Speaker 1>it is still furry. Hayes connected on a frog splash

<v Speaker 1>about midway through the match. Corbyn, though kicked out first

<v Speaker 1>forty eight, got countered with a Corbyn big boot, and

<v Speaker 1>Corbyn then dropped him with a great looking deep six,

<v Speaker 1>only for a near fall. Hayes recovered. He hit back

<v Speaker 1>to back first forty eights. He tried for nothing but

<v Speaker 1>net off the top, but Corbin shoved him off the

<v Speaker 1>top rope and the idea was. I believe that he

<v Speaker 1>was going to go head first into the barricade. He

<v Speaker 1>was going to collide face first into the barricade, but

<v Speaker 1>he fell just short, so it didn't come off as

<v Speaker 1>quite quite as devastating, I think as they intended for

<v Speaker 1>it to be all the same though, he ends up

<v Speaker 1>back in the ring. Corbyn hits the end of Days,

<v Speaker 1>which is still one of the most protected moves in wrestling,

<v Speaker 1>and I was pretty confident that we weren't getting a

<v Speaker 1>kick out here, and we didn't. And so actually my

<v Speaker 1>belief is that they're probably gonna have Trick Williams kick

<v Speaker 1>out of it. I don't think they're going to be

<v Speaker 1>as protective over this move going forward as they have

<v Speaker 1>been for all these other years. I think they're gonna

<v Speaker 1>give it to Trick to kick out of. But Carmelo

<v Speaker 1>was not as lucky, and so Hayes got pinned, sucked

<v Speaker 1>the air right out of the crowd with that three count.

<v Speaker 1>After the match, Trick appeared on stage. He has his

<v Speaker 1>rotating platform, so he basically got like a full entrance

<v Speaker 1>here and he's rotating around and Corbin is distracted. He's

<v Speaker 1>watching this from the ring. Meanwhile, he doesn't realize that

<v Speaker 1>behind him it's the return of Lily Yati and he's

<v Speaker 1>got his trick stick and he strikes Corbyn in the

<v Speaker 1>back with it, which is more of an annoyance than

<v Speaker 1>anything else, and Corbyn turns around and he goes to

<v Speaker 1>hit him again, and Corbyn takes the stick away from

<v Speaker 1>him and in comes Trick Williams from behind. He takes

<v Speaker 1>a swing at Trick Trick Ducks, it comes off the

<v Speaker 1>ropes and he drops Corbyn with a trick shot knee.

<v Speaker 1>Corbyn rolls out to the floor. So they're setting up

<v Speaker 1>for one more match. Even though he lost two of

<v Speaker 1>them already, he did get hit in the head both

<v Speaker 1>times with the belt, so you would think this third

<v Speaker 1>match has to have some sort of stipulation to it,

<v Speaker 1>and maybe Sunday Night's main event. I don't think we

<v Speaker 1>have another plee until money in the Bank. Money in

<v Speaker 1>the Bank is not until October tenth, so unless they're

<v Speaker 1>adding Wrestle Palooza at the last minute, it's looking increasingly

<v Speaker 1>like there will a be no Wrestle Palooza, and there

<v Speaker 1>may not be a Crown Jewel because we've heard nothing

<v Speaker 1>about Crown Jewel either, so My guess is they probably

<v Speaker 1>saved the match for Atlanta and Sunday Night's main event,

<v Speaker 1>and they switched the belt back to Trick Williams. On

<v Speaker 1>that show, Carmelo Hayes, boy, he came across like such

<v Speaker 1>an afterthought here at the end, And I really hope

<v Speaker 1>that once the belt goes back to Trick we can

<v Speaker 1>kind of get back to the Trick and mellow stuff,

<v Speaker 1>because if not, that's a terrible sign for Carmelo Hayes.

<v Speaker 1>That's my only hope for him. He's not gonna have

<v Speaker 1>anything to do with the world title picture unless it's

<v Speaker 1>like a one off match on TV with Cmpunk. You

<v Speaker 1>have Cmpunk wants to be the defending champion and he'll

<v Speaker 1>defend every now and then against some rando from the roster.

<v Speaker 1>I could see that, But in terms of an actual program,

<v Speaker 1>something consistent a story on this show, the best thing

<v Speaker 1>that Melo could hope for is that the belt changes

<v Speaker 1>back to Trick and then he can kind of resume

<v Speaker 1>things with him because he got beat clean by Corbyn here.

<v Speaker 1>There was no belt shot to the head here. They

<v Speaker 1>protected Trick to that extent in the first two matches

<v Speaker 1>where Corbyn had to cheat to win. Corbyn didn't cheat

<v Speaker 1>to win here, he shoved him off the top rope.

<v Speaker 1>So what he beat the guy clean? Not good? Not

<v Speaker 1>a good sign. In the back, Chelsea Green was talking

<v Speaker 1>to Tiffany Stratton, who was all banged up after what

<v Speaker 1>happened earlier in the show, and she said that she

<v Speaker 1>can still compete tonight, so she's still going out there

<v Speaker 1>to defend her championship against JC Jane. Send that man

<v Speaker 1>to Raw. Well, if he's not going to wrestle Trick

<v Speaker 1>for the US title coming out of this, then I agree,

<v Speaker 1>do a little switcherou send him to Raw. Maybe there's

<v Speaker 1>somebody that can move over to SmackDown somewhere in the

<v Speaker 1>mid card. Do like an even trade between the two gms.

<v Speaker 1>Next up was the face to face in the ring

<v Speaker 1>between the WWE champion CM Punk and perhaps the future

<v Speaker 1>WWE champion, although it feels increasingly unlikely next week, Kevin Owens.

<v Speaker 1>They're big matches coming up in Toronto next Friday, so

<v Speaker 1>this is it the final interaction between the two of

<v Speaker 1>them before the big title match. So Punk was in

<v Speaker 1>one corner, Owens was sitting on top of the turnbuckle

<v Speaker 1>in the opposite corner, and Punk said, look, you're not

<v Speaker 1>a coward. You were about to say something. So because

<v Speaker 1>Owen's had come out first and it looked like he

<v Speaker 1>was about to speak, Punk's music cut him off, and

<v Speaker 1>then he came out, so that's what he's referring to.

<v Speaker 1>He goes, looks like you were about to say something,

<v Speaker 1>so say it to everybody here in Boston. And then

<v Speaker 1>Punk again interceded and did his it's great to be alive,

<v Speaker 1>and you know whatever, whatever his line is. Owen said,

<v Speaker 1>it was ironic that Punk was coming out here talking

<v Speaker 1>about saying things to his face when last week they

<v Speaker 1>were about a foot away from each other, and yet

<v Speaker 1>Punk chose to be all the way down there, all

<v Speaker 1>the way down the aisle with his back turn to

<v Speaker 1>call Kevin what a fat slob said. Of course the

<v Speaker 1>camera caught it. It wasn't quite the language that he used,

<v Speaker 1>but that was the gist of it. Punk said, you

<v Speaker 1>don't think I would say this to your face. Owen said, no, no,

<v Speaker 1>I know you would. But our story actually begins twenty

<v Speaker 1>years ago. I say, here we go, here it comes.

<v Speaker 1>Punk said, you want to educate the fans as to

<v Speaker 1>why Kevin Owens doesn't like CM, Punk go right ahead,

<v Speaker 1>and so ko did. Owen said, twenty years ago, he

<v Speaker 1>and Phil wrestled for the same independent promotion, and Punk

<v Speaker 1>was the big top guy. He was just someone. He

<v Speaker 1>being Owens, he was just someone who was trying to

<v Speaker 1>make a name for himself. And on that night, Punk,

<v Speaker 1>all the ways that he could have decided for things

<v Speaker 1>to go, he chose to be rate Owens and insult

<v Speaker 1>him in front of a whole locker room full of

<v Speaker 1>his peers. Punk said, twenty years you've been holding onto

<v Speaker 1>this twenty years. Owens said, well, I don't like you

<v Speaker 1>for a lot of reasons, but it's also the person

<v Speaker 1>that you've been, the things that you've said, the way

<v Speaker 1>that you've treated people that I care about, good friends

<v Speaker 1>of mine, And Punk said, which friends. I'm gonna need

<v Speaker 1>you to be a little more specific. He's pretty sure

<v Speaker 1>Kevin's friends hate him, Owen said, Punk may think he's

<v Speaker 1>only talking about three of them, but every friend that

<v Speaker 1>I've had in this industry hates you. And Punk said,

<v Speaker 1>being hated by losers is the price that he pays

<v Speaker 1>for not being one of them. Owen said, that's another

<v Speaker 1>perfect example of why I despise you. He sees it

<v Speaker 1>back there, locker room full of people that look up

<v Speaker 1>to Punk, and why he said Punk came back here

<v Speaker 1>and made amends. There's one guy left that still doesn't

<v Speaker 1>like him, and that's Kevin Owens, and he'll never like

<v Speaker 1>him because everything that he says Punk that is, everything

<v Speaker 1>Punk says is performative. And then he walked up to

<v Speaker 1>Punk and he yelled for him, look at me when

<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to you. He got real close at his face, goes,

<v Speaker 1>Punk is a phony. The only reason that he came

<v Speaker 1>back and made everything right is because he had no choice,

<v Speaker 1>because the kind of person he is led to him

<v Speaker 1>screwing things up everywhere else he went. Punk had no

<v Speaker 1>choice and he doesn't respect people like that. And while

<v Speaker 1>Punk was gone, regardless of what Punk thinks about him,

<v Speaker 1>and then at that point he goes, I'm gonna take

<v Speaker 1>a step back here because your breath's a little rough.

<v Speaker 1>Regardless of all that, Owens says, he did pretty well

<v Speaker 1>for himself twelve years consistently in this ring before this injury.

<v Speaker 1>He's won titles, right Universal Champion, something else Punk will

<v Speaker 1>never get to do. He main have vented WrestleMania against

<v Speaker 1>Stone Cold Steve Austin. Punk said, you did, you did? Congratulations.

<v Speaker 1>He was happy for him then, he's happy for him now.

<v Speaker 1>But does Owens really think that he would have been

<v Speaker 1>afforded those opportunities if he was still here, like Punk

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have been picked before Owens. Owens asked him to

<v Speaker 1>tell him why he thinks he wouldn't have gotten those opportunities.

<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, say it. Why do you think I would

<v Speaker 1>not have gotten those opportunities? Because it's the same thing

<v Speaker 1>you thought about me twenty years ago? What am I? Huh?

<v Speaker 1>He goes, Am I some fat indie slob who should

<v Speaker 1>be on the other side of the guardrail? Punk said,

<v Speaker 1>Is that what I think of you? Or is that

<v Speaker 1>what you think of yourself? He's here tonight in Boston

<v Speaker 1>as the undisputed WWE champion, and he's got a locker

<v Speaker 1>room full of guys that want to be champion. Says Hell.

<v Speaker 1>He's calling out Obafemi, which is what he did on

<v Speaker 1>the Summer Slam post show. He's calling out Obafemi and

<v Speaker 1>instead he gets endometriosis. Now, I don't even get the

<v Speaker 1>joke there, right. First of all, isn't that something that

<v Speaker 1>only women get. I mean, I don't really understand what

<v Speaker 1>he was going for. Like, if you want to make

<v Speaker 1>a fat joke, there's a million other ways that you

<v Speaker 1>could do that. It's like a million other diseases or

<v Speaker 1>things that he could have mentioned there at least make

<v Speaker 1>it make sense. That line didn't really make any sense

<v Speaker 1>to me, Punk says, Owens wants to listen to Punk

<v Speaker 1>disparage him. He looks at Owens and he sees a

<v Speaker 1>tough guy. He really does. He would be a fool

<v Speaker 1>to take him lightly. He sees a guy who speaks

<v Speaker 1>two languages when he can barely speak one, which means

<v Speaker 1>that Owens is smarter than him. But then he also

<v Speaker 1>sees a guy that avoids the work, that doesn't try

<v Speaker 1>to be at least one percent better every single day,

<v Speaker 1>and that makes him stupid. He sees a tough guy,

<v Speaker 1>but he's a bum. Owens avoids the hard work. He

<v Speaker 1>calls Punk a shape shifter. But really, I've evolved. I

<v Speaker 1>want to be better than I was the day before.

<v Speaker 1>If Owen's had done half the work that Punk has

<v Speaker 1>done in his career, maybe he would have been able

<v Speaker 1>to avoid that. Bill Goldberg spear that ended the last

<v Speaker 1>time that Owens had a championship belt around his waist.

<v Speaker 1>Owens asked him, you think I want to be more

<v Speaker 1>like you? I've spent my career avoiding that. He's convinced

<v Speaker 1>that Punk for all the title and all the money

<v Speaker 1>that he has. When he goes home, he looks in

<v Speaker 1>the mirror and he hates who he is him. He doesn't.

<v Speaker 1>He loves who he is. He's always been the same guy.

<v Speaker 1>He's the same guy that Punk screamed at twenty years ago.

<v Speaker 1>And guess what, that fat indie loser is in the

<v Speaker 1>ring with him right now, and he's facing him for

<v Speaker 1>the WWE Championship next week. And you know what, being

<v Speaker 1>like Punk probably wouldn't have helped, because, after all, Punk

<v Speaker 1>couldn't avoid that Roman reign spear at WrestleMania. Punk says

<v Speaker 1>he looks at keV and he sees himself from twenty

<v Speaker 1>years ago, someone who's stubborn and loud, always thinking he's

<v Speaker 1>the smartest guy in the room. But he still sees

<v Speaker 1>the same guy he saw twenty years ago. And Owen says,

<v Speaker 1>does that bother you? Because I never seeked out your

<v Speaker 1>advice or your guidance. He's regretted for twenty years not

<v Speaker 1>punching Punk in the mouth in that locker room. Punk said,

<v Speaker 1>why don't you do it now? Noen said, you know

<v Speaker 1>why I didn't do it then because I know that

<v Speaker 1>you would have ruined my career and that would have

<v Speaker 1>been it. And he's not gonna do it now because

<v Speaker 1>next week in Toronto, he not only gets to punch

<v Speaker 1>Punk in the face. He's waited twenty years. Okay, so

<v Speaker 1>he could wait another seven days for that, but he

<v Speaker 1>gets to beat his bitch ass for the WWE Championship

<v Speaker 1>after punching him in the face. Punk said, twenty years ago,

<v Speaker 1>Owens was a greenhorn who stepped into his locker room

<v Speaker 1>and thought he could get away with speaking to him disrespectfully,

<v Speaker 1>and he's been crying about the consequences ever since. You say,

<v Speaker 1>you've never looked up to me. That's fine by me,

<v Speaker 1>because in Toronto, that's exactly what he's gonna do when

<v Speaker 1>he puts his fat ass to sleep. You know, Owens

<v Speaker 1>has actually trimmed down from the last time we saw him.

<v Speaker 1>He actually is not as heavy as he was prior

<v Speaker 1>to the injury. So I just want to point that out.

<v Speaker 1>I thought this was largely great outside of that one

<v Speaker 1>weird line from Punk. I thought this was great. The

<v Speaker 1>crowd was pretty quiet for it, which did hurt the

<v Speaker 1>segment a little bit, but they did, they did. They

<v Speaker 1>did bring up the T shirt incident. I was I

<v Speaker 1>was wondering, you know, when I told you guys about

<v Speaker 1>it all those weeks ago, because there were people who

<v Speaker 1>had never heard that story before. I was like, I'm

<v Speaker 1>almost certain it'll be worked into one of these promos,

<v Speaker 1>And sure enough, there it was. We had our T

<v Speaker 1>shirt story here. They just never mentioned the T shirt part,

<v Speaker 1>and we had a Young Bucks reference without actually naming

<v Speaker 1>the Young Bucks. But this was everything I was hoping

<v Speaker 1>the Punk and Cody exchange was going to be, you know,

<v Speaker 1>in the lead up to SummerSlam, and I was very

<v Speaker 1>disappointed in that. But punkin Owens in me or yeah,

<v Speaker 1>punkin Owens, they had more material to work with, to

<v Speaker 1>be fair, they had a lot more material here to

<v Speaker 1>work with. See, it was never really good to work

<v Speaker 1>as well with punkin Cody as it did here with

<v Speaker 1>punkin Owens, because like with these two, there's nothing manufacted,

<v Speaker 1>or at least it doesn't come off that way doesn't

<v Speaker 1>come off as manufactured. This feeling that you have two

<v Speaker 1>men in the ring, as we did tonight, who genuinely

<v Speaker 1>feel like they don't like each other. And it's especially

<v Speaker 1>noticeable how it kind of radiates off of Owens towards Punk,

<v Speaker 1>maybe more than Punk towards Owens, but like, you don't

<v Speaker 1>have to really take the extra step, I think to

<v Speaker 1>convince people that these two might possibly not like each

<v Speaker 1>other in real life, even if that really isn't the case.

<v Speaker 1>With Cody and Punk, it was more like, all right,

<v Speaker 1>you got to try to. That's why we got like

<v Speaker 1>the belt shot to the face by accident. And then

<v Speaker 1>at the live event, you know, when they were teaming up,

<v Speaker 1>they showed highlights of Cody like back elbowing Punk in

<v Speaker 1>the face, and it was so forced and it just

<v Speaker 1>didn't work. You know, I like to see what they

<v Speaker 1>were trying to do, but it just didn't work. Here.

<v Speaker 1>You just let these two go in the ring together

<v Speaker 1>and put a mic in their hands and just let

<v Speaker 1>them go off on each other. And so I thought

<v Speaker 1>this was quite good. Punk Punk came off definitely is

<v Speaker 1>more of the heel in this segment, especially calling you

<v Speaker 1>calling him fat you're a fat ass, although honestly, Owens

<v Speaker 1>was insulting himself more than more than like Oways was

<v Speaker 1>the one who called himself a fat indie slob, like

<v Speaker 1>those words never left Punk's lips. Punk kind of had

<v Speaker 1>a point that one line he goes, is that how

<v Speaker 1>I think of you? Or is that how you think

<v Speaker 1>of yourself? Because you're the one who keeps calling yourself

<v Speaker 1>as so maybe maybe there's a little insecurity on your part.

<v Speaker 1>But I mean, look, that was certainly a criticism of

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens many many years ago that certain people had

<v Speaker 1>and probably people in WWE, which is why there were

<v Speaker 1>many many years that went by where Kevin Stein was

<v Speaker 1>not signed by the company, not until much later on.

<v Speaker 1>And it was people like Punk and Brian Danielson who

<v Speaker 1>helped knock those doors down, that helped usher in an

<v Speaker 1>era of talent that included people like Kevin Owens, who

<v Speaker 1>Vince McMahon and John Lourniis and people like that would

<v Speaker 1>never have given a second thought to There's a reason

<v Speaker 1>why Samoa Joe was passed on by WWE for many years,

<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't until Triple H brought him into NXT

<v Speaker 1>in two thousand, fifteen, which by the way, was only

<v Speaker 1>supposed to be for NXT. And there's a real like

<v Speaker 1>he was able to keep his name, he was able

<v Speaker 1>to work some outside like indie shots. It was a

<v Speaker 1>very weird contractor, like a very weird arrangement they had

<v Speaker 1>with Joe, But Joe got so over It's like, of course,

<v Speaker 1>how are you not going to bring this guy to

<v Speaker 1>the main roster? You out of your fucking mind. So

<v Speaker 1>eventually he made his way to the main roster. But

<v Speaker 1>by that point it was twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, Like

<v Speaker 1>those those prime Joe years were lost to TNA and

<v Speaker 1>Dick tattoos on his face. After that great stuff that

<v Speaker 1>Joe did with Kurt Angle, Like imagine Vince McMahon, WWE

<v Speaker 1>could see the talent that they had in Joe, even

<v Speaker 1>though he wasn't their prototypical WWE star. Imagine bringing him

<v Speaker 1>in years earlier, what he could have done with John

<v Speaker 1>Cena and Randy Orton and Punk and all those guys. Right,

<v Speaker 1>But like, it took years for people like that to

<v Speaker 1>even get a second look. So I'm sure Owen's heard

<v Speaker 1>that criticism Alon, but I'm sure he does carry that

<v Speaker 1>with him. I don't know that I've I've ever heard

<v Speaker 1>Punk refer to him that way or Punk ever did,

<v Speaker 1>like even in the locker room back then, But it

<v Speaker 1>was it was kind of funny that it was Owens,

<v Speaker 1>you know, was the one who was constantly bringing that

<v Speaker 1>up here in this promo without Punk even saying those words.

<v Speaker 1>The other thing is like Punk going after him for

<v Speaker 1>not putting in the work, that rang a little hollow

<v Speaker 1>to me. I mean, unless he was talking about his physique,

<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, no one is gonna look at

<v Speaker 1>like the fans are not gonna look at Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, this guy, you know, he hasn't put

<v Speaker 1>in the work. You know, the guy's busted his ass

<v Speaker 1>for the last decade. He's had some you know, great matches,

<v Speaker 1>and he's been in all these different feuds and wars.

<v Speaker 1>And so again, that's what I mean when I say

<v Speaker 1>Punk is the one who came off as more of

<v Speaker 1>the heel. And now you're going into Canada, You're going

<v Speaker 1>into Toronto next week, it's gonna be even worse. Not

<v Speaker 1>that Punk is gonna not have any fans there, but

<v Speaker 1>like it's gonna be a very heavily pro Kevin Owen's crowd,

<v Speaker 1>and I think they have to know that, you know,

<v Speaker 1>going into the match next week. So I'm looking forward

<v Speaker 1>to the match. I'm looking forward. It shouldn't make for

<v Speaker 1>a very fun atmosphere, I think in that building, and

<v Speaker 1>if you give them enough time and you know, probably

<v Speaker 1>through two commercial breaks, you know, whatever it is to

<v Speaker 1>go out there and do what they can do, it

<v Speaker 1>should be a great match. I believe this is legit

<v Speaker 1>the first one on one match these two have ever

<v Speaker 1>had in their entire careers together. Too bad it took

<v Speaker 1>this long to get there, but I'm glad we're finally

<v Speaker 1>getting it. Backstage, Finn Balor was having a conversation with

<v Speaker 1>Nick Aldis, who apologize for not giving Baler a heads

<v Speaker 1>up about the change to his Summer Slam match, and

<v Speaker 1>Gunther interrupts. He still wants all this to answer for

<v Speaker 1>pulling a fast one on him at Summer Slam, not

<v Speaker 1>realizing that Balor is standing right there. All this is like,

<v Speaker 1>oh I didn't notice, gunh says, all he sees is

<v Speaker 1>the shadow of what Balor used to be. Balor calls

<v Speaker 1>him a condescending prick, says he's happy to go through

<v Speaker 1>Gunher to get himself another shot at the title, and

<v Speaker 1>Gunther left at that point. So when I said earlier

<v Speaker 1>like Gunther is a man with no direction, he is

<v Speaker 1>still a man with no direction. But at least now

<v Speaker 1>we know we're headed towards a Gunther and Finn Balor match.

<v Speaker 1>At least he has something coming up, something on the horizon.

<v Speaker 1>What was on the horizon next was a three way

<v Speaker 1>for the WWE Tag Team Championship. It was Our Truth

<v Speaker 1>and Damian Priest defending their titles against the Triple A

<v Speaker 1>Tag Team champions, the war Raiders and the MFTs. Tomatonga Tallatanga,

<v Speaker 1>who came out with hak who crowd was quiet for

<v Speaker 1>most of this match, the Vikings, they looked like they

<v Speaker 1>were about ready to end Truth when Priest made the save.

<v Speaker 1>He ended up though, taking a pop up power slam

<v Speaker 1>through the time Keeper's barricade outside back inside. Tomatongo went

<v Speaker 1>for Cutthroat, but he missed, and Truth did all of

<v Speaker 1>his stolen John Cena spots, and then this led to

<v Speaker 1>the MFTs hitting their brothers keeper the double power bomb

<v Speaker 1>finish to pin Truth to win the WWE Tag Team titles.

<v Speaker 1>Wade Barrett on commentary, He mentioned that Haku who got

<v Speaker 1>into the ring and celebrated with his men, his boys.

<v Speaker 1>He mentioned that Haku once held those very tag team

<v Speaker 1>titles with Andre the Giant about three and a half

<v Speaker 1>decades ago. Those were the Colossal Connection days where Andre

<v Speaker 1>could barely move. Andre spent most of his time either

<v Speaker 1>on the apron or tied up in the ropes resting,

<v Speaker 1>and Haku did most of the work. It did lead, though,

<v Speaker 1>I will say it did lead to a big tag

<v Speaker 1>team title change of WrestleMania at the SkyDome, where the

<v Speaker 1>crowd just exploded when Demolition won the belts. That was

<v Speaker 1>their third tag team time. That effectively was the end

<v Speaker 1>of Demolition that night, because within within a few months

<v Speaker 1>they turned them heel, They got the lod into the company,

<v Speaker 1>and at that point they didn't give a shit about Demolition.

<v Speaker 1>That was like the peak of Demolition. I don't mind this.

<v Speaker 1>I don't mind them putting the belts on the MFT.

<v Speaker 1>The MFT is now they're a team. It's not some

<v Speaker 1>you know, garbage faction that they are half assing and

<v Speaker 1>they don't want to put the effort into to get

<v Speaker 1>us to really care about any of those people. If

<v Speaker 1>you are not going to put the effort in to

<v Speaker 1>get me to care about a group of people, then

<v Speaker 1>I am not going to give a shit. That's how

<v Speaker 1>it works. That's why the fans didn't care about the MFTs.

<v Speaker 1>They didn't react to the MFTs when they were out there.

<v Speaker 1>Nobody cared about Solo and Tama and fucking j C.

<v Speaker 1>Matteo and Taalatanga because we were not given a reason

<v Speaker 1>to give a shit. And then came the whole feud

<v Speaker 1>with the Wyat six and it was just one long

<v Speaker 1>six month period of just absolute dogshit. These two is

<v Speaker 1>a tag team managed by Haku. I think is fine

<v Speaker 1>again once they brought Hakku and it seemed pretty clear

<v Speaker 1>they were gonna end up getting those tag team belts. Otherwise,

<v Speaker 1>what's the point If you're bringing in Haku to try

<v Speaker 1>to give these guys a new age or like a

<v Speaker 1>new attitude, it doesn't make any sense. Then put them

<v Speaker 1>in the tag team title picture and just have them

<v Speaker 1>get beat. It also frees up Damian Priest, who can

<v Speaker 1>now do things other than just be stuck in tag

<v Speaker 1>team hell. I don't know what he's gonna do next,

<v Speaker 1>but it can't be any worse than being stuck in

<v Speaker 1>a dead tag team division, So I'm fine with this.

<v Speaker 1>We had Tiffany Stratton up next, defending her women's United

<v Speaker 1>States Championship. Shout out to number one almost sapien I

<v Speaker 1>spotted him in the chat earlier twenty three months of

<v Speaker 1>channel membership, says, what are your thoughts on the reports

<v Speaker 1>that SmackDown is going back to three hours in January?

<v Speaker 1>I have no thoughts. This is what happens every year.

<v Speaker 1>I know it's coming. I try not to think about it.

<v Speaker 1>Hopefully it will take a long time to get to January.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna enjoy two hours of SmackDown while it lasts.

<v Speaker 1>I don't give a shit how many things end up

<v Speaker 1>being left off the show. Oh don't you think it

<v Speaker 1>needs to it? No, no, I don't If things are

<v Speaker 1>being left off the show, do a better job of

<v Speaker 1>rotating people in and out of the show. You will

<v Speaker 1>never convince me that SmackDown can only be a good

<v Speaker 1>show if it's three hours long. There are still people

<v Speaker 1>out there are some people out there who still believe that.

<v Speaker 1>They still believe that to be true. That's a lie.

<v Speaker 1>Don't believe them. Tiffany Stratton against jac Jane for the

<v Speaker 1>Women's United States Championship. Tiffany came into this at less

<v Speaker 1>than one hundred percent. She had the busted up ribs

<v Speaker 1>from the angle earlier in the show when she attempted

<v Speaker 1>to make the safe for Chelsea Green. After a commercial break,

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea hit ringside to check on Tiffany and she stayed

<v Speaker 1>out there. Tiffany got her second wind. She hit the

<v Speaker 1>cartwheel Alabama slam, headed up top for the Sentan bomb,

<v Speaker 1>and boy, she came down like Jeff Hardy does these

<v Speaker 1>days on the Swantan. She came straight down on top

<v Speaker 1>of jac with all of her weight and just knocked

<v Speaker 1>all the air out of her lungs. So later on

<v Speaker 1>she hit the prettiest moonsalt ever, but Jace got the

<v Speaker 1>knees up on the landing, so she covered and Tiffany

<v Speaker 1>kicked out. Jace tried for the rolling encore Tiffany, though,

<v Speaker 1>caught her with a knee strike instead, and at ringside,

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea starts getting into it verbally with Fallon Henley and

<v Speaker 1>Lanny Reid. Meanwhile, Tiffany heads up top she's gonna finish

<v Speaker 1>things off. She's gonna try for another pme, but she

<v Speaker 1>notices that her friend, her partner outside is being ganged

<v Speaker 1>up on, and so she ops instead to hit a

<v Speaker 1>crossbody out onto Fatal Influence to save her friend. But

<v Speaker 1>that decision proves to be very caught because as Tiffany

<v Speaker 1>gets back in the ring, Jacy Jane is there and

<v Speaker 1>she blasts her in the head in the face with

<v Speaker 1>the rolling encore and she folds her up for the one,

<v Speaker 1>two three, and new and new Tiffany Stratton no longer

<v Speaker 1>the United States Champion as a match. This was not

<v Speaker 1>very good. Uh, but that is back to back title

<v Speaker 1>changes here on this show. And now all three members

<v Speaker 1>of Fatal Influence, they are draped in gold. And to

<v Speaker 1>the point that I made earlier in the review when

<v Speaker 1>I talked about this, you know Tiffany and Chelsea now

<v Speaker 1>that it was very clear the reason that Tiffany lost

<v Speaker 1>her championship is because she decided it was more important

<v Speaker 1>to save her friend. That will create some problems now

<v Speaker 1>between Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green. And so when Chelsea

<v Speaker 1>is medically cleared in thirty days or however long it takes,

<v Speaker 1>the first person who's going to be coming after her

<v Speaker 1>and her Women's championship should be Tiffany Stratton. Tiffany should

<v Speaker 1>blame her, and that is going to be how we

<v Speaker 1>get Tiffany Stratton as a heel. If they know what

<v Speaker 1>they're doing with Tiffany Stratton, that is the direction to

<v Speaker 1>take here. Even Tiffany herself has been asked about this

<v Speaker 1>in interviews and she has said the same thing, that

<v Speaker 1>being a heel, being the bad guy, it comes more

<v Speaker 1>naturally to her. It's still weird for her to be

<v Speaker 1>a babyface. She doesn't really know how to do it.

<v Speaker 1>It doesn't seem like she's comfortable in that spot. So

<v Speaker 1>make the move when the time is right. She turns

<v Speaker 1>on Chelsea, probably'll end up being the one to take

<v Speaker 1>that championship from Chelsea, and then by the time Rhea

<v Speaker 1>Ripley comes back, we may be looking at Rhea trying

<v Speaker 1>to get the belt back, not from Chelsea but from

<v Speaker 1>Tiffany Stratton. Story is right there. Our main event was

<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhodes one on one with Sammy's A. This, of course,

<v Speaker 1>if you looked at the clock when this match was

<v Speaker 1>going to the ring, was very unlikely to actually happen

<v Speaker 1>because we had about five minutes left in the show.

<v Speaker 1>So our main event was actually not to be, because

<v Speaker 1>before Sammy's Ain could even hit the ring, Cody was

<v Speaker 1>already in the ring. Before Sammy's Ain could even hit

<v Speaker 1>the ring, Randy Orton attacks Cody from behind. I wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>be surprised if there was shit that had to be

<v Speaker 1>cut from this show tonight. It did kind of feel

<v Speaker 1>like they were rushing a little bit towards the end

<v Speaker 1>to make sure they got in what they needed to

<v Speaker 1>get in. And again they went off the air. I

<v Speaker 1>mean maybe it was intentional, but they went off the

<v Speaker 1>air and there was still stuff going on. But Randy

<v Speaker 1>comes in right away and he delivers a draping DDT

<v Speaker 1>to Cody. Then the bell hasn't rung, so this match

<v Speaker 1>never officially got started. Now he's setting up for the RKO.

<v Speaker 1>Cody avoids it, and he counters into what is going

<v Speaker 1>to be a crossroads. Randy reaches up though, and gouges

<v Speaker 1>his eyes, puts his thumbs in his eyes. Is able

<v Speaker 1>to break that up, and he tosses Cody out to

<v Speaker 1>the floor. So Orton goes outside and he picks up

<v Speaker 1>the steel steps hits Cody in the face with the

<v Speaker 1>steel steps. Orton then places the steps the top part

<v Speaker 1>of the ring steps up against the announced desk. It's

<v Speaker 1>very similar to what they did many months ago when

<v Speaker 1>they were building to wrestle Many. He leans him up

<v Speaker 1>against the announced desk. So meanwhile they end up in

<v Speaker 1>the crowd and Cody threw a drink in his face

<v Speaker 1>and there, you know, he hits Randy in the head

<v Speaker 1>with a garbage can and they're just kind of fighting

<v Speaker 1>through the cry a little bit deeper and deeper into

<v Speaker 1>the crowd, you know, not up the stairs or anything,

<v Speaker 1>but just kind of around and on the main floor.

<v Speaker 1>And then they fight their way back to ringside, right

<v Speaker 1>over by the announced desk, and they go to do

<v Speaker 1>the same exact spot that they did pre wrestle Mania.

<v Speaker 1>This is before McAfee got involved and infected the WrestleMania

<v Speaker 1>main event, where you had Cody laying on top of

<v Speaker 1>the announced desk. Orton has his head placed in the

<v Speaker 1>crevice of the ring steps, which are leaned up against

<v Speaker 1>the desk. Randy grabs a chair, he stands on top

<v Speaker 1>of the announced desk and he is going to smash

<v Speaker 1>this man's brains in. Now, there are officials that are

<v Speaker 1>out there and they're not doing a damn thing to

<v Speaker 1>stop him. So Orton is standing on top of the

<v Speaker 1>desk and he raises the chair into the air like

<v Speaker 1>he's going to kill this man, and Cody kicks him

<v Speaker 1>right in the crotch. By the way, we get far

<v Speaker 1>too many of these, Can I just say that it

<v Speaker 1>feels like we get an over abundance of low blows

<v Speaker 1>in this company these days. They rely on that spot

<v Speaker 1>way too much, Way too many dick kicks going on.

<v Speaker 1>I know it's an easy way you kick somebody in

<v Speaker 1>the dick, but like you got to dial it back.

<v Speaker 1>It's too much. Cody stands up now on the desk.

<v Speaker 1>He has the chair. He hits Orton in the back.

<v Speaker 1>He's very careful in hitting Orton in the back with

<v Speaker 1>the chair because the last thing you want to do

<v Speaker 1>is reinjure Randy Orton's back. So but he hits him

<v Speaker 1>in the back with the chair. And now Orton very

<v Speaker 1>gently he lays down, and now he's in that position

<v Speaker 1>where his head is in between the crevice of the

<v Speaker 1>ring steps. Cody lifts the chair above his head. He's

<v Speaker 1>gonna bash his brains in. But now Davari, one of

<v Speaker 1>the agents, he jumps up on the desk, and he

<v Speaker 1>snatches the chair out of his hands and saves Randy

<v Speaker 1>Orton's life. And now all the agents they grab Cody

<v Speaker 1>and they pull him off the top of the announced desk.

<v Speaker 1>Now the credits are rolling as they're holding Cody back.

<v Speaker 1>Cody breaks free, he gets back up on the desk,

<v Speaker 1>and at that point they ran out of time. Where's

<v Speaker 1>Tony Shavanni would say back in the day, We're desperately

<v Speaker 1>out of time, and they fade out. And so in

<v Speaker 1>the middle of all this, the show just ended. I

<v Speaker 1>do love how they were going to allow Randy Orton

<v Speaker 1>to murder this man with the chair, but when Cody

<v Speaker 1>holds the chair up, no we can't allow this. We

<v Speaker 1>got we got to pull that shit out of his hands.

<v Speaker 1>We got to save Randy Orton here. We don't give

<v Speaker 1>a fuck about Cody getting his brains bashed in or

<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton. No, no, no, we got to put a

<v Speaker 1>stop to this. So they reshot the same angle that

<v Speaker 1>we just saw five months ago, or at least some

<v Speaker 1>variation of it. Not very creative. I would have liked

<v Speaker 1>to have seen them do something completely different come to

<v Speaker 1>the same result, But they just ran the same angle back.

<v Speaker 1>At least we got some real action between these two.

<v Speaker 1>It wasn't the action we were promised. We were promised

<v Speaker 1>the main event and we didn't get it, which I

<v Speaker 1>thought was actually very lame, even though it does feed

<v Speaker 1>into the hole like Sammy's ain, you know, justice for

<v Speaker 1>Sammy Sammy is screwed gimmick, It feeds right into that.

<v Speaker 1>But we didn't get a lot of good wrestling on

<v Speaker 1>this show. So if ever there was a show where

<v Speaker 1>we could have used the Cody Roads Randy Orton main

<v Speaker 1>event and give those guys like ten minutes, this was

<v Speaker 1>the night for that, and unfortunately we didn't get that.

<v Speaker 1>I did enjoy the show, though, more than the average SmackDown,

<v Speaker 1>largely because of the opening segment in the Cody and

<v Speaker 1>Punk segment, or rather the the Owens and Punk segment,

<v Speaker 1>and then that plus the two title changes, at least

<v Speaker 1>made the show newsworthy, even though I didn't think in

<v Speaker 1>either of the two title changes the matches were particularly good.

<v Speaker 1>Toronto next week should be fun, though with the championship match.

<v Speaker 1>The only thing is, you know, with Sammy getting screwed

<v Speaker 1>out of what would have been had he won a

<v Speaker 1>guarantee title shot against either CM Punk or Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>coming out of next week. Now he gets nothing because

<v Speaker 1>he was screwed again, which in my mind all but

<v Speaker 1>guarantees like maybe it was gonna happen anyway before if

<v Speaker 1>you really think about it, But now like all but

<v Speaker 1>guarantees that this match is getting fucked next week by

<v Speaker 1>Sammy's a. Samy's Ain is gonna get involved. He's going

<v Speaker 1>to be beside himself. He's been screwed one too many

<v Speaker 1>times now he's not even getting the shot, so he's

<v Speaker 1>going to fuck everything up next week. I am convinced

<v Speaker 1>that this, But that was backdown there you go. Still,

<v Speaker 1>you're a women's champion for now, Chelsea Green. Now the

<v Speaker 1>goal before I get into your superchats, the goal from

<v Speaker 1>the wheel was five point fifteen. We're about one hundred away.

<v Speaker 1>What are we We're four four sixteen less than one

<v Speaker 1>hundred away. Can we do it? I don't know. We'll

<v Speaker 1>find out in a little bit. Get to the superchats first.

<v Speaker 1>We'll find out shortly. We didn't do be the Booker

<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday. We did it on Monday. We didn't do

<v Speaker 1>it Wednesday. At this rate, it may be it may

<v Speaker 1>be Monday before we get back to it, Sammy winning

<v Speaker 1>money in the bank. I've had people tell me that

<v Speaker 1>they think Dominic Mysterio is gonna win money in the

<v Speaker 1>bank because he's been booked so poorly. Hey about, how

<v Speaker 1>about they just don't know what the fuck to do

<v Speaker 1>with Dominic and he's being punished. How's that for an answer?

<v Speaker 1>It's like me happy to hear people for years now,

<v Speaker 1>La Knight's gonna win money in the bank. La Knight's

<v Speaker 1>gonna win money in the bank. How'd that work out

<v Speaker 1>for you? Joseph Stewart is with us on a Friday.

<v Speaker 1>Happy Friday, Joseph, could you see the Undertaker starting up

<v Speaker 1>a wrestling promotion? Uh? No, it's called Triple A. It's

<v Speaker 1>the one he's running right now. What the hell does

<v Speaker 1>he need to start up a wrestling promotion for. He's

<v Speaker 1>already got one. He's in a great position actually, because

<v Speaker 1>he basically runs the company but not the business end.

<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have to worry about any of the business decisions.

<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have to worry about investing his own money.

<v Speaker 1>You want to lose money, go ahead and start a

<v Speaker 1>wrestling promotion if you like burning money. Starting a wrestling

<v Speaker 1>promotion is a great idea. Otherwise, I don't know why

<v Speaker 1>you would ever want to do it. Is the reason

<v Speaker 1>why the Undertaker wore sunglasses and a bandana out in

<v Speaker 1>public was to stay in disguise. No, he's like a

<v Speaker 1>biker guy. That's just what they wear. I mean, I

<v Speaker 1>don't think it had anything to do with him trying

<v Speaker 1>to disguise himself. It's kind of hard to disguise yourself

<v Speaker 1>when you're walking around. He you're six foot ten and

<v Speaker 1>you look like you look like the Undertaker, looks like

<v Speaker 1>you're not going to be able to really hide yourself.

<v Speaker 1>The Disney Convention is happening this weekend. Marvel is supposed

<v Speaker 1>to have a panel on Avengers Doomsday tonight. Hell, if

<v Speaker 1>there's any movie coming out that you know, could potentially

<v Speaker 1>make the money that Spider Man made or even beat it,

<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be Doomsday. I'm still not convinced that it's

<v Speaker 1>gonna beat what Spider Man did, though. We have a

<v Speaker 1>super pony. Gunther is ice cold right now. I feel

<v Speaker 1>nothing when I see him, nor do I take him serious.

<v Speaker 1>He needs to take time off or something, because this

<v Speaker 1>ain't it. Yeah, they just don't have a real direction

<v Speaker 1>for him. I mean I thought he was great again

<v Speaker 1>is that douchebag heel and that opening segment? But he

<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a real direction right now. Broley says, nine

<v Speaker 1>thirty seven and still two matches left, you know, one

<v Speaker 1>of which we didn't get. Kratis Grado says, as Jim

<v Speaker 1>Cornett says, how do you make five million dollars in wrestling?

<v Speaker 1>Start with ten? It's true he would know. I mean

<v Speaker 1>he ran a promotion, not for very long. How long

<v Speaker 1>does Smokey Mountain last? Three years? Dried Chicken says goodbye,

<v Speaker 1>Carmelo hayes he should have left SmackDown when he had

<v Speaker 1>the chance last year. Mellow is dead un SmackDown. I

<v Speaker 1>cannot feel sorry for him now. Well, he doesn't control

<v Speaker 1>the booking. I mean, he can't transfer himself to Raw.

<v Speaker 1>How are you gonna blame him? Come on, dude, he

<v Speaker 1>doesn't make those decisions. Super Pony Sammy one hundred percent

<v Speaker 1>is costing Owens after that ending, they're really telegraphing it

<v Speaker 1>a lot. Either that or Nick adds him and makes

<v Speaker 1>it a triple threat. Yeah, I'd rather we not be

<v Speaker 1>continuing to add people to matches. At the last minute,

<v Speaker 1>like it's SummerSlam. That was fun, but like, can we

<v Speaker 1>not do that? Please? Dry Chicken says, I laugh when

<v Speaker 1>Paul Levec and the creative challenge and defy logic. It's

<v Speaker 1>challenge and defy logic at sometimes that the McMahon family

<v Speaker 1>is strange. I think you kind of butchered the super

<v Speaker 1>Chat there. They are strange. That whole fucking family is strange.

<v Speaker 1>You know, super Chat here need heal Tiffany asap miscast

<v Speaker 1>as a fan favorite for so long she does she

<v Speaker 1>does feel miscast. Today's episode is sponsored by HYMNS. I

<v Speaker 1>what the hell happened here? What the hell happened here?

<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I missed the whole Okay, let me go

<v Speaker 1>back here. I missed the whole bunch of from here. Uh.

<v Speaker 1>Joseph Stewart, oh man, these we're all. Joseph, My god.

<v Speaker 1>Joseph says, who do you think was more like Batman,

<v Speaker 1>the Undertaker or Sting? Well, I'm gonna say Undertaker who

<v Speaker 1>literally came down from the heavens at Madison Square Garden

<v Speaker 1>dressed like Batman one year at Survivor series, and thankfully

<v Speaker 1>he never did it again because that was fucking awful.

<v Speaker 1>Remember we had the bat Wings in ninety six. Who

<v Speaker 1>is Undertaker's Joker mankind or Caine mankind? Easily mankind? And

<v Speaker 1>Scarlett Johansson is playing Poison IV in The Batman Part two? Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's so many pieces of news leaking like

<v Speaker 1>I don't even pay attention to most of it. I'll

<v Speaker 1>rely on you to keep me posting. Why is Triple

<v Speaker 1>H booking dom to look bad because he's being punished

<v Speaker 1>for comments that he made publicly a few months ago

<v Speaker 1>about his terrible booking, of which he said nothing that

<v Speaker 1>was false. He's clearly being punished. Adam Driver has been

<v Speaker 1>cast as the villain in the X Men movie. Another

<v Speaker 1>x Men movie. Huh, Joseph, thank you death syth what's

<v Speaker 1>your favorite Hulk Hogan's real American bullshit fable? Mine is

<v Speaker 1>the one which involves Simon Cowell traveling back in time

<v Speaker 1>to the eighties. I like the fact that Hogan had

<v Speaker 1>the chance to become a Pride fighter in the seventies,

<v Speaker 1>even though Pride fighting didn't exist back then. Can we

<v Speaker 1>go with that one? Flamethrower fluff Saulsberry? Two things. Number one,

<v Speaker 1>that Chelsea promo was fire And number two, my oldest

<v Speaker 1>son got engaged today on his twenty ninth birthday. Well,

<v Speaker 1>congrats to your son. That is very cool, that's a

<v Speaker 1>very cool feeling. I said, this is where, for whatever reason,

<v Speaker 1>I skipped over all those and we picked up with

<v Speaker 1>super Ponies. So let's now go back to where we

<v Speaker 1>left off here. And I'm not gonna say that name

<v Speaker 1>thank you for the dollar ninety nine, Jeremiah, the four

<v Speaker 1>ninety nine, the Chelsea Green and Punk KOs segments are

<v Speaker 1>what they call a good piece of business. Yeah, the

<v Speaker 1>Chelsea stuff at the beginning I thought was the best

<v Speaker 1>part of the show. I thought that was great and

<v Speaker 1>it's really cool that the fans responded to her as

<v Speaker 1>positively as they did. Venom Ktetsu says, how can hog

<v Speaker 1>be called wrestling when there's no ads on the turnbuckle pads,

<v Speaker 1>no ads on the canvas and the audience wasn't being

<v Speaker 1>bombarded by commercials thirty seconds into every match? Wasn't sure

<v Speaker 1>what I saw on Friday? Confused? Yeah, I guess we're

<v Speaker 1>sports entertainment, I guess, and not wrestling. I guess that's

<v Speaker 1>what you would call it. But hey, if Dudewipes wants

<v Speaker 1>to have a conversation about a sponsorship, we're all ears.

<v Speaker 1>We're all ears. Did you hear about that the new

<v Speaker 1>Dude Wipes sponsorship that TNA picked up. They're gonna have

<v Speaker 1>the dude Wipe sponsor who's called Deuce. It's a giant

<v Speaker 1>pack of dude wipes with arms and legs. It's going

<v Speaker 1>to be appearing on TNA television. Soon they're going to

<v Speaker 1>integrate Deuce into a TNA storyline. I can't wait not

<v Speaker 1>to watch Dried Chicken says Gunther is not white, He's albino. No,

<v Speaker 1>that's shamous Misfit Wrestling podcast. I love how WWE all

<v Speaker 1>of a sudden gives a shit about the thirty day

<v Speaker 1>title rule, Like, why wasn't this rule applied to brock

<v Speaker 1>Lesner and Roman reigns. It's called selective enforcement. Only when

<v Speaker 1>it is convenient for them to do so do they

<v Speaker 1>abide by the rules. Very inconsistent. Thank you, though for

<v Speaker 1>that thirty dollars drop. I appreciate that super Pony with

<v Speaker 1>the nine ninety nine. I thought Ko won the promo

<v Speaker 1>battle tonight. Punk constantly fat shaming Owens is not impressive

<v Speaker 1>at well, I mean, to be fair, I mean Owens

<v Speaker 1>was fat shaming himself. He's the one who kept bringing

<v Speaker 1>it up. I expect more from the so called best

<v Speaker 1>promo guy in the business. But I think Ko is

<v Speaker 1>better on the mic. Ko is fantastic on the mic.

<v Speaker 1>There's an authenticity to him and to Punk. But honestly,

<v Speaker 1>like more so Ko these days that Jason Jason Tar

<v Speaker 1>with that fifty dollars gunhar bomb Jason, thank you. I

<v Speaker 1>love the name. We we almighty with a ten. Did

<v Speaker 1>you see that worked ass trash can that Cody hit

<v Speaker 1>Orton with? That motherfucker was filled with nothing but white

<v Speaker 1>paper plates and napkins, not one bottle can or piece

<v Speaker 1>of actual trash in sight. You know, with Orton these days,

<v Speaker 1>you gotta be very careful. He's very delicate Lakers, Pats.

<v Speaker 1>Why did Triple H want to work SmackDown four when

<v Speaker 1>he did two and eight? I mean four right, he

<v Speaker 1>was in the middle of his reign of terror. Why

<v Speaker 1>would he want to work SmackDown He already had the

<v Speaker 1>belt on raw dry Chicken. If Tiffany Stratton turns heel

<v Speaker 1>on Chelsea pop the eye out. I have no idea

<v Speaker 1>you oh you mean oh the uh yeah, the the

<v Speaker 1>Rollins and raymystereo angle, they could pop the the eye

<v Speaker 1>right out of that orbital huh. Venom Ktetsu did enjoy

<v Speaker 1>watching my first hog show last week in all seriousness,

<v Speaker 1>Still not confident in the industry overall, but it was

<v Speaker 1>fun and hopeful. You guys in Triple A are keeping

<v Speaker 1>a pulse going much appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

<v Speaker 1>Hopefully we'll be streaming on YouTube again for our next show.

<v Speaker 1>I'm working to make sure that that happens. But I

<v Speaker 1>believe High Intensity is up to eighty thousand views and

<v Speaker 1>counting on the YouTube channel, So if you haven't seen it,

<v Speaker 1>go check it out. Misfit Wrestling podcast. Hiromu Takahashi has

<v Speaker 1>been revealed as Shinsky Nakamore's partner. Really just like that?

<v Speaker 1>Where was that also announced on Twitter? Like? Apparently the

<v Speaker 1>blakeman Roe Julia match was? I gotta see when that

<v Speaker 1>blakeman Roe Julia match was announced? See her? Because I

<v Speaker 1>didn't see anything about that. But then again, I was

<v Speaker 1>getting ready to go live, so I don't know why

<v Speaker 1>I would have seen that. I still don't see anything

<v Speaker 1>like that. Let's see Blake Monroe, nick All, this informs

<v Speaker 1>Blake Monroe and she will make her SmackDown debut again?

<v Speaker 1>Did this? This? Did this the nare on the show?

<v Speaker 1>Did it? Did I miss this? I mean this had

<v Speaker 1>to be an exclusive, an online exclusive, because I didn't

<v Speaker 1>see this on the show. Wait a minute, fan, hold

<v Speaker 1>on a second here, Julia lost to Miechen on main event.

<v Speaker 1>Miechen took on Julia on main event and beat Julia.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I already told you guys, she's done.

<v Speaker 1>I told I told you that last time. What was

<v Speaker 1>I talking about? Uh? What was last week? Probably the

<v Speaker 1>week before? I already told you she's done. Julia is done.

<v Speaker 1>She's cooked. And it almost doesn't even matter whether she

<v Speaker 1>stays on SmackDown or she goes to Raw. She's done.

<v Speaker 1>She's finished. It's over. So her losing to Michen and

<v Speaker 1>if she's gonna be wrestling Blake Monroe, I mean, you

<v Speaker 1>already know the outcome of that. She's done. It's over.

<v Speaker 1>But what is this? What is this hero moving? I

<v Speaker 1>know we got that segment with the knackamoora last week.

<v Speaker 1>Let me see. Okay, so there was there was a video. Again.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this was maybe bumped from the show,

<v Speaker 1>but wwe posted this at eleven twenty three pm. Let

<v Speaker 1>me see. I don't have the audio here, but let

<v Speaker 1>me watching this video. Oh yeah, that's yeah, Yeah, that's him.

<v Speaker 1>That's definitely him. So basically it's it's Knackamore cutting a

<v Speaker 1>promo and then in the back behind him there's some

<v Speaker 1>sort of screen or something and you see a silhouette

<v Speaker 1>of somebody and you see like the shoulder length, like

<v Speaker 1>stringy hair. That's totally Heroma. Oh yeah, all right, so

<v Speaker 1>they're bringing in Hiromo Takahashi to the main roster. Wow.

<v Speaker 1>So they sent Evil to NXT and Heroma was going

<v Speaker 1>to the main rock. There was a report though that

<v Speaker 1>Evil had requested to start in NXT, so I wonder

<v Speaker 1>if there's any truth to that. Arabian Night is Ilia

<v Speaker 1>and Jordan just done with WWE Also, Blake Monroe is

<v Speaker 1>almost in julia territory. What a waste. Jordan needs to

<v Speaker 1>leave and Ilia would kill it in aew. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know what's going on with Ilia Dragonov. His career has

<v Speaker 1>basically just come to a standstill. Jordan Grace. I feel

<v Speaker 1>the same way about Jordan Grace that I do Julia,

<v Speaker 1>which is unfortunate to say, but it just seems like

<v Speaker 1>it just seems like they have nothing for her, And

<v Speaker 1>that's a death spot to be in. That is not

<v Speaker 1>a spot that you want to be in because that

<v Speaker 1>makes you expendable because ultimately, the decisions on whether or

<v Speaker 1>not people need to be cut, they don't come from

<v Speaker 1>necessarily Nick conn even. I mean, if there are people

<v Speaker 1>that need to be cut. It could be a TKO

<v Speaker 1>thing where they kind of give you the directive like, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>we got to shed some we got to trim the

<v Speaker 1>fat here and shed some weight from this roster. Pick

<v Speaker 1>some men and women to get rid of. And at

<v Speaker 1>that point you have the directive and you kind of

<v Speaker 1>look at what you have and if there are people

<v Speaker 1>who aren't being used, you're going to be the first

<v Speaker 1>one gone. I wouldn't want to be in a position

<v Speaker 1>like that. That's kind of where they are at this point.

<v Speaker 1>It's said, it's inexplicable to me, inexplicable spray JC jokes

<v Speaker 1>on the career killer Cardonah showed up DOA, so Gunther.

<v Speaker 1>Gunther has no career to kill, is what you're saying.

<v Speaker 1>Cardona was already DOA when he came in. Joseph Brooks,

<v Speaker 1>do you think Sean Oliver and Bill Apter should have

<v Speaker 1>worked with WWE? They could have been either color commentators, interviewers,

<v Speaker 1>or even on the creative team. I mean, I have

<v Speaker 1>no idea what their creative ideas would even be. Would

<v Speaker 1>they even be qualified to be on the creative team?

<v Speaker 1>I mean, should they have worked for WWE? They obviously

<v Speaker 1>didn't want to where WWE had no interest in them.

<v Speaker 1>But no, I don't think they had to work for WWA.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think Bill after in WWE would have worked.

<v Speaker 1>Bass Beers says they botched Seena's retirement run and now

<v Speaker 1>Gunther Yeah, pretty much, Libido bell. I know nothing about baseball,

<v Speaker 1>you know nothing about Halo, but just know we both

<v Speaker 1>share the feeling of being let down over and over

<v Speaker 1>and over again. How do you know I may be

<v Speaker 1>the best Halo player around? I just keep it a secret.

<v Speaker 1>You don't know. Combat Theater with A nine ninety nine.

<v Speaker 1>I uploaded new content on my channel all combat sports related.

<v Speaker 1>I want to start this journey due to my passion

<v Speaker 1>for combat sports. Any support means the world from the community. Solo,

<v Speaker 1>what's the name of it? Is a combat theo? I

<v Speaker 1>guess it would be combat theater. Stupid question. Well there

<v Speaker 1>you go, go, check that out. Combat theater. That's a

<v Speaker 1>theater as in tre at the end, not ter combat theater.

<v Speaker 1>I wish you all the luck, brother. It's not easy.

<v Speaker 1>It's not easy to start a new YouTube channel and

<v Speaker 1>get in now. It's actually very difficult. But I wish

<v Speaker 1>you all the best. If you're passionate about something and

<v Speaker 1>you're consistent and you're putting out quality content, obviously your

<v Speaker 1>content has to be good. Just grind it out and

<v Speaker 1>hopefully you'll find success. Browley seven shout out to HBK

<v Speaker 1>for believing in j C. Jane and her improving so

<v Speaker 1>much in a year. In a perfect world, all of

<v Speaker 1>fatal influence our world champion material. I think Fallon Henley.

<v Speaker 1>I still feel like I haven't seen enough of Laney

<v Speaker 1>Reid to really judge, but Fallon Henley could absolutely have

<v Speaker 1>single success. At some point, Jeremy Rose thought Gunther was

<v Speaker 1>going to get his heat back by power bombing Chelsea,

<v Speaker 1>and then I remembered I'm watching WW. Well, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>she's not even medically clear. Dude her, You want empower

<v Speaker 1>bombing Chelsea with a fucking broken orbital bone. It's the

<v Speaker 1>matter with you. We don't do man on women violence

<v Speaker 1>in WWE, but you know what, why don't we do

<v Speaker 1>it tonight? And we'll do it with the woman who

<v Speaker 1>has a broken face. That'd be a great. In fact,

<v Speaker 1>let's have Gunther give her a lariat. How about that?

<v Speaker 1>That's a great idea. The real CS Is it fair

<v Speaker 1>to say that Tatum is a modern day Daphne. She

<v Speaker 1>gives off that vibe to me. I don't want to

<v Speaker 1>say that. I don't want to say that. Let her

<v Speaker 1>be the first Tatum Pasley. I don't like making these

<v Speaker 1>comparisons unless it's just so overt, and I'm not ready

<v Speaker 1>to say that. It's a similar kind of look and everything,

<v Speaker 1>you know, like a kind of goth look. I haven't

<v Speaker 1>heard her scream, though Daphne was a screamer on that.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the real comparison would be. Jeremy says,

<v Speaker 1>buy or cell. Jada comes to the main roster as

<v Speaker 1>Jade's newest baddy, but eventually realizes Jade is using her

<v Speaker 1>and it leads to a feud, a big pl e.

<v Speaker 1>There are better ways to introduce Jada Parker. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know why you would introduce her as just like a

<v Speaker 1>lackey for Jade. She's already got two of them. I

<v Speaker 1>think that debuting her in a different way, where she's

<v Speaker 1>not like a follower would probably be the better way

<v Speaker 1>to go. Jeremy says, Chelsea should should have said fuck

<v Speaker 1>your thirty days live in Jade never defended their titles.

<v Speaker 1>Have you ever heard the expression don't look a gift

<v Speaker 1>horse in the mouth. She should have just been happy

<v Speaker 1>that she was able to keep her championship for another

<v Speaker 1>thirty days. You gotta pick and choose your battles. Jeremy

<v Speaker 1>Solo is actually a top five Halo player, Damn right.

<v Speaker 1>Bace Beer is punk used to be skinny fat. That's

<v Speaker 1>what they call them. Fioria's Nation, what's up? Solo? Can't

<v Speaker 1>believe I'm turning thirty this Sunday. Much love to you

<v Speaker 1>and jd Well. Happy birthday, Furious Nation. You're hitting the

<v Speaker 1>big three to zero. You're washed. That's it. Your best

<v Speaker 1>days are behind you now. I hope you have a

<v Speaker 1>great birthday. Even better you turn thirty On SoundOff Sunday,

<v Speaker 1>you'll get a brand new sounduff to enjoy. Libido Bell.

<v Speaker 1>What are three pros and cons of New York? Hello

<v Speaker 1>from Georgia. Cons definitely the weather. The winters fucking suck

<v Speaker 1>in New York. I know it's worse in certain other places,

<v Speaker 1>like oh woe is me, but like fucking fuck winter, man,

<v Speaker 1>fuck winter, fuck the snow, fuck the ice. Just fuck

<v Speaker 1>it all, man, fuck the snow, fuck ice, funk fuck

<v Speaker 1>everything about it. So that's a con what's a pro. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, living in the city city, being

<v Speaker 1>any of the five boroughs, easy access to whatever I need.

<v Speaker 1>I could literally like I'm within walking distance of basically

<v Speaker 1>everything I need. I technically do not need to use

<v Speaker 1>my car to pretty much do all of the essential

<v Speaker 1>things that I need to do. And that is very convenient.

<v Speaker 1>You could probably say that about any you know, city,

<v Speaker 1>any major like metropolis, but I live in this one,

<v Speaker 1>so I can't speak to others, so I like that.

<v Speaker 1>And also like in New York, I mean there's a

<v Speaker 1>lot to do. Yeah, you want to make a day

<v Speaker 1>of in goo in the city and go hit up

<v Speaker 1>different landmarks or different activities, whatever it may be. You

<v Speaker 1>got plenty to do, so I would say that's a pro.

<v Speaker 1>It's also very it's like the biggest media market, so

<v Speaker 1>if you're a sports fan, like there's no shortage of

<v Speaker 1>like games you could go to. You might not have

<v Speaker 1>that luxury in a smaller market. So when you're in

<v Speaker 1>a bigger market, I mean that could be an advance.

<v Speaker 1>But then again, it's also noisy and it's dirty, and

<v Speaker 1>I have a love hate relationship with New York death

<v Speaker 1>side says, didn't Hogan also say he once killed ANOCHI No,

<v Speaker 1>I don't remember him saying that. He said a lot

<v Speaker 1>of stuff. I don't know about him ever. Saying that

<v Speaker 1>though Furious Nation with the four ninety nine SmackDown was decent,

<v Speaker 1>but hate that it got cut out at ten pm

<v Speaker 1>makes me wish SmackDown was off USA Network. Sure, Triple

<v Speaker 1>h would rather book two and a half hours than three,

<v Speaker 1>Like you've said, I don't even want two and a

<v Speaker 1>half hours of smack Down. I don't want more than

<v Speaker 1>two hours of SmackDown. I accept that in January it

<v Speaker 1>will become three hours. Again, I don't want more than

<v Speaker 1>two hour hours of SmackDown. This show has largely sucked.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want more of this show. They have not

<v Speaker 1>demonstrated to me that they can consistently book SmackDown as

<v Speaker 1>a show that is exciting and interesting to watch. Every

<v Speaker 1>now and then you'll get a good SmackDown. Tonight was

<v Speaker 1>better than the usual one show. That's all it is,

<v Speaker 1>and then it'll be right back to the usual nonsense.

<v Speaker 1>So keep it at two hours. Two hours is fine again.

<v Speaker 1>You can rotate people in and out as needed, But

<v Speaker 1>whatever goodwill they had with me when it came to

<v Speaker 1>SmackDown died years ago, Super Pony. Do you think it

<v Speaker 1>would be better if Sammy causes a DQ next week

<v Speaker 1>instead of screwing Ko and having him eat a pin?

<v Speaker 1>I think we get a triple thread at Sunday Night's

<v Speaker 1>main event where Sammy eats the pin. I'm already expecting

<v Speaker 1>some sort of lame, fucking, you know, shitty finish next week,

<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I would rather you not beat Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>clean and then preserve it to run it back with

<v Speaker 1>another match. I think that's fine. I'm already kind of

<v Speaker 1>I'm already conditioning myself to the fact that that's probably

<v Speaker 1>the finish we're gonna get. Try check and Julia should

<v Speaker 1>take a picture with Tony Kah. Could be the fastest

<v Speaker 1>way to her getting out of her contract. Gary Sean

<v Speaker 1>with a nine ninety nine, just showing some love. Thank you,

<v Speaker 1>ah bd O is with us my first time catching

<v Speaker 1>a stream in age is happy to see familiar faces.

<v Speaker 1>Where have you been? He was on a secret mission overseas.

<v Speaker 1>Worry you hmm, I go. He doesn't want to share

<v Speaker 1>the details of it, but me territory over there he

<v Speaker 1>had to take care of some stuff, but now he's back.

<v Speaker 1>Joseph Stewart, Hello, Solomonster, I'm back with breaking news. They

<v Speaker 1>just released the new trailer of Avengers Doomsday and Robert

<v Speaker 1>Downy Junior looks awesome. Is doctor Doom? I heard his

<v Speaker 1>Doctor Doom voice. He's got the accent and everything. Victor

<v Speaker 1>von Doom Gary with another nine ninety. I see Gary

<v Speaker 1>assisted in getting us to the ten out of ten.

<v Speaker 1>Just noticed on the bonus goal. And Joseph says the

<v Speaker 1>new X Men movie will be released in theaters in

<v Speaker 1>May of twenty twenty eight. Oh oh, wait a minute,

<v Speaker 1>and Indie Navaretti has been cast as Rogue. Really see

<v Speaker 1>that I did not know. I'm very happy to hear that.

<v Speaker 1>I'm a big Indi Navaretti fan after obsession, think she's great?

<v Speaker 1>Is that confirmed? I have to I have to see

<v Speaker 1>this is confirmed, though, I hope. So that's great. Ah, yes, ah,

<v Speaker 1>that's great. That is great news. I'm a big Indie

<v Speaker 1>never Ready fan. Is that the right character for her though?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I'm glad she got the part.

<v Speaker 1>Good for her. I know she says she wanted to

<v Speaker 1>be in a Marvel movie. So that is very cool,

<v Speaker 1>Gary Man, thank you again for all that love. And

<v Speaker 1>we have death sythe death Side says I just did

<v Speaker 1>some research and he said he accidentally killed Anochi with

<v Speaker 1>his axe bomber and U sepr to bring him back

<v Speaker 1>to life. Then I've never heard him say that. If

<v Speaker 1>it did, then you could add to the pile. You

<v Speaker 1>can add it to the pile of hoganisms from over

<v Speaker 1>the years, because I bet you one hundred thousand dollars

<v Speaker 1>that did never actually happened. EJ slimed with the four

<v Speaker 1>and ninety nine breaking Indy Navaretti cast as Rogue in

<v Speaker 1>X Men twenty twenty eight. Adam Driver will also play

<v Speaker 1>mister sinister boy. That you talk about a quick rise

<v Speaker 1>to fame from one role in a movie that costs

<v Speaker 1>less than a million dollars to make, to go from

<v Speaker 1>that to fucking rogue in X Men. Good for her man,

<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. For those who don't know, Indy Navaretti's the

<v Speaker 1>one who played Nicki, the the main character in the

<v Speaker 1>movie Obsession, which if you still have not seen Obsession,

<v Speaker 1>shame on you. I don't know what you're waiting for.

<v Speaker 1>And she will be nominated for Best actress. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know she'll win. She should, but it would be impossible

<v Speaker 1>for me to fathom her not getting an domination. A right,

<v Speaker 1>we hit the ten out of ten bonus goal and

<v Speaker 1>the main goal. What was the main goal? Oh, we

<v Speaker 1>beat that too, Look at that two rounds be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that. Vitty, good vity, good vity, goood

<v Speaker 1>we have two rounds coming up. Obsession left me absolutely crushed. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you know what, I got to rewatch it. I've only

<v Speaker 1>seen it like thirty times so far. So my new

<v Speaker 1>favorite thing to do is, like every time there's a

<v Speaker 1>new reaction, like an Obsession reaction video on YouTube where

<v Speaker 1>people watch it for the first time, I have to

<v Speaker 1>watch it. They always pop up in my recommendeds and

<v Speaker 1>I always watch. I've so through those now. I've literally

<v Speaker 1>seen the movie like thirty or forty times at this point,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm still not tired of it. It's so great.

<v Speaker 1>I mean it just I'm talking like not even the

<v Speaker 1>movie itself, like in the fact that it's an original

<v Speaker 1>story and all that, but just like the acting in it,

<v Speaker 1>the sound, the use of shadows, the music, the mood,

<v Speaker 1>the light, like everything about it. It's just so well done.

<v Speaker 1>All right, let's be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen. It

<v Speaker 1>is now time to be the booker. It is time

<v Speaker 1>to be the booker. And shout out Curry Barker Man,

<v Speaker 1>all this obsession love. He's a YouTuber. Maybe I should

<v Speaker 1>write a screenplay. I'm on YouTube. I'm obsessed. Yes i am,

<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed with obsession. Yeah, it's funny about that. That

<v Speaker 1>was total word of mouth. I didn't even know that

<v Speaker 1>movie existed two weeks before I went to go see it,

<v Speaker 1>but everybody wouldn't shut up about it. I'm like, well,

<v Speaker 1>I guess I have to go see it. And it's

<v Speaker 1>my favorite movie of the year. It's one of my

<v Speaker 1>favorite movies period. It has moved to believe it or not,

<v Speaker 1>it has moved up my list. I don't know where

<v Speaker 1>it ranks, but it's pretty high up through on my

<v Speaker 1>list of all time favorite movies. All right, tag teams,

<v Speaker 1>be the Booker. Here we go. We are going to

<v Speaker 1>begin with I'll wait a minute, Nick, all this calls

<v Speaker 1>for you to add a stipulation. We just started. We

<v Speaker 1>just started already, we're adding stipulations. All right, Well, we're

<v Speaker 1>gonna have the first ever tag team fight pit match.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think we've ever actually had one of these

<v Speaker 1>in real life. I don't remember if we've had one,

<v Speaker 1>and be the booker before, I don't think so. I

<v Speaker 1>don't believe so, he shout out. Since when said cycle

<v Speaker 1>Channel member for sixteen months, would you have any suggestions

<v Speaker 1>for a Lado Oscuro del Ring Lucha Libre edition my

<v Speaker 1>great uncle Russell del Santo in the seventies. Cheers. That's

<v Speaker 1>very cool. I'm not sure. Do you mean lady Oscuro?

<v Speaker 1>You mean like, I'm not sure what the question is.

<v Speaker 1>If it is, I don't know. I don't know who.

<v Speaker 1>I'd have to think about that as far as who

<v Speaker 1>I would pick in that role. But maybe you can

<v Speaker 1>clarify for me. All Right, we have a fight pit

<v Speaker 1>match with the Guns Austin and Colton Gun. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think fight pit when I think of the Guns. Oh

<v Speaker 1>dark side of the Ring? Okay, so you're saying a

<v Speaker 1>dark side of the Ring Lucha Libre edition? Is that

<v Speaker 1>what you're saying? Well, in that case, Oh my gosh,

<v Speaker 1>who is there? Oh god? His name just popped out

<v Speaker 1>of my head. The wrestler who died many years ago

<v Speaker 1>in the match. Remisterio went to give him six one nine.

<v Speaker 1>He was in the ropes Paris del Mal. God, who

<v Speaker 1>am I thinking of? Why did his name pop out

<v Speaker 1>of my head? They should do they could do one

<v Speaker 1>on him, because that was incredibly sad what happened with

<v Speaker 1>him the New Day against the Guns. Do you realize

<v Speaker 1>that this could be an actual match very soon, just

<v Speaker 1>without the fight pit stipulation. Thank you, Pero Aguayo Junior.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know why his name just popped out of

<v Speaker 1>my head, Pero Aguayo Junior. I mean, that's a video

<v Speaker 1>I wish I had not seen. Women's be the booker

<v Speaker 1>Ivy Nile. I can't remember the last time Ivy Nile

<v Speaker 1>was even on TV. Ivy Nile and Camille, speaking of

<v Speaker 1>which it's a battle between two women who couldn't buy

<v Speaker 1>television time. I can't I can't remember the last time

<v Speaker 1>I saw Camille on TV. Either she came back and

<v Speaker 1>then she just disappeared again, and now it's been months

<v Speaker 1>and again I don't remember when it was the last

<v Speaker 1>time that we actually saw her on TV. So if

<v Speaker 1>Ivy Nile and Camille were to wrestle each other, it

<v Speaker 1>would obviously be off the air somewhere they might actually

<v Speaker 1>fight in the locker room. This is not going well, guys.

<v Speaker 1>This round to be the booker is a fail so far,

<v Speaker 1>an epic fail. The Catering title match. Yes, they're going

<v Speaker 1>to have a food fight in Catering. We need the

<v Speaker 1>main event to save it. Okay, this is a good

<v Speaker 1>start right here. We have Kenny Omega, the reigning aw

<v Speaker 1>world champion. Save us Kenny, save us Kenny Kenny Omega

<v Speaker 1>against j Huso. Yes, yes, I hit the wrong sound effect.

<v Speaker 1>But then we corrected ourselves. We corrected our ourselves. I'm sorry.

<v Speaker 1>Juso in the main event is just an automatic fail.

<v Speaker 1>We needed a strong main event and then you give

<v Speaker 1>me jay Usso in the main event. I'm giving that

<v Speaker 1>the buzzer. I don't give a fuck what you say.

<v Speaker 1>That was an awful round. I don't know what else

<v Speaker 1>to say. That was an awful, awful round. But thankfully

<v Speaker 1>because we hit the bonus goal. We're not done yet.

<v Speaker 1>We are not done. We get another bite at the apple,

<v Speaker 1>we get another crack at it. Yes, we do, just

<v Speaker 1>push all the buttons. I'll head every sound effect that

<v Speaker 1>I have. We get to try again. Guys, we get

<v Speaker 1>to redeem ourselves. You know, Kenny Omega was supposed to

<v Speaker 1>win the aw World title at Redemption. We're going to

<v Speaker 1>get our own redemption here. I could feel it. We're

<v Speaker 1>gonna have a blindfold match, all right, Maybe I was lying.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have a blindfold tag team match, which sounds terrible.

<v Speaker 1>This sounds like an awful idea. This is a terrible idea.

<v Speaker 1>Johnny Gargano and Tomaso Champa. Wow, look at this. This

<v Speaker 1>is going back, man, This is old school. This is

<v Speaker 1>them is tag team Champions on SmackDown, back when Johnny

<v Speaker 1>Gargano actually wrestled. Do you remember that? Do you remember

<v Speaker 1>when Johnny Gargano actually wrestled? My memories are a little fuzzy,

<v Speaker 1>but I think he actually used to get in the

<v Speaker 1>ring and do wrestling moves. But it might not matter

<v Speaker 1>here because they're gonna be blindfolded against Chronic a blindfold match.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, what is wrong with be the booker tonight?

<v Speaker 1>I think be the booker is it's it's like protesting

<v Speaker 1>Gargano and Champa against Chronic in a blindfold match that

<v Speaker 1>might be worse than anything I booked in the first round.

<v Speaker 1>Oh man, this is this is not going well. Be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker has been cursed by Dan Hausen. It feels

<v Speaker 1>like it three stages of Hell. I feel like we're

<v Speaker 1>in three stages of hell right now. You could never

<v Speaker 1>return to this territory. We have a three stages of

<v Speaker 1>hell women's match. There we go, all right, we might

<v Speaker 1>be on the right path. Here we have Tony Storm,

<v Speaker 1>not timeless, but we have Tony Storm. I have a

<v Speaker 1>good feeling about this. I think we're back on the

<v Speaker 1>right path Tony Storm, and we have dar you right,

<v Speaker 1>that's her name now? I forgot her wwe name Sonya Deville.

<v Speaker 1>I was I was stuck there for a moment. I

<v Speaker 1>had to unstick myself. I was frozen. I was frozen today. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>that's a buzz. That's a buzz. Guys. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know what to tell you.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to tell you. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>what to say. But all I know is that we

<v Speaker 1>have one match left to try to save this thing,

<v Speaker 1>or we get the dreaded double sweep. But it's like

<v Speaker 1>the double opposite sweep. What are we look at here?

<v Speaker 1>We're looking at a barroom brawl. I think Be the

<v Speaker 1>Booker might have been hanging out at the bar for

<v Speaker 1>a little too long. This is the sixth match that

<v Speaker 1>I'm booking here. Can we get one? Can you give

<v Speaker 1>me one? At least? Can we do that? We have

<v Speaker 1>a barroom brawl with Ah Finally, finally, finally, Brett the

<v Speaker 1>hitman Heart, the best there is, the best that there was,

<v Speaker 1>and the best that there ever will be. He's going

<v Speaker 1>to save us, save us, Brett. Finally, finally, Brett Hart

<v Speaker 1>against Hollywood Hulk Hogan in a bar room brawl. We

<v Speaker 1>are saved. We are saved. We got one, guys, we

<v Speaker 1>got one. Brett's gonna beat that ass. That's for Summer Slam, motherfucker.

<v Speaker 1>The Summer Slam that never was but should have been.

<v Speaker 1>Hogan's getting his ass beat by little teeny Brett Hart.

<v Speaker 1>We went one for six. I think Be the Booker

<v Speaker 1>should try out for the Mets. I think it would

<v Speaker 1>fit right in. At least, look, at least I gave

<v Speaker 1>you one. At least I gave you one. Siam, Welcome

<v Speaker 1>to the channel. Came in at just the right time.

<v Speaker 1>We just booked a hell of a match. Dried Chicken.

<v Speaker 1>They should do a dark Side of the Ring episode

<v Speaker 1>on Sexy Star and so that's not a bad one.

<v Speaker 1>That's another good one. Although I mean, if that's the

<v Speaker 1>only thing for them to really cover that was overly negative,

<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a very boring episode. If it's

<v Speaker 1>just what she did in that match, you know, fucking

<v Speaker 1>up Rosemary's arm. I don't know that that's enough to

<v Speaker 1>do a dark side of the Ring episode on. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>consider a different career path besides booking. I mean, let's

<v Speaker 1>be honest, here, is my booking really that much worse

<v Speaker 1>than what we're getting on TV from week to week?

<v Speaker 1>Let me cut me some slock link Master says no yeat, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>no no yeat, no yeat. In the main event, Venom

<v Speaker 1>Catetsu says, be the booker not as bad as the

<v Speaker 1>Wyatt and Gangrel night. Yeah, at least Gangrel wasn't watching

<v Speaker 1>us tonight. That's good. Dry Chicken says Tony Storm against

<v Speaker 1>Sonya Deville, Booker T and Vic Joseph on commentary that's sithe. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>that would probably be on WWE Radio. Death Site says, oh,

<v Speaker 1>it gets better than After reviving in Noki, Hogan had

<v Speaker 1>to secretly flee Japan to hide from the Yakuza says, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I smell bullshit. Bro. Where did he say this in

<v Speaker 1>his book? His book is in the fiction section of

<v Speaker 1>the bookstore. Retro Koh. Tom McGee versus jenn Moraska in

<v Speaker 1>a mixed match would be better than this. Tom McGee

<v Speaker 1>and Jenna Morasca. They're gonna end up hooking up. It's

<v Speaker 1>going to be the couple that we all never expected

<v Speaker 1>and didn't know we needed. Tom McGee and jennim Raska.

<v Speaker 1>They become happily ever after, right. Super Pony says, what

<v Speaker 1>is your preferred finish for punk and Ko Kevin Owens

<v Speaker 1>wins the WWE Championship. That's my preferred finish package pile

<v Speaker 1>Driver one, two three? Uh? Since when said Clyde? Why

<v Speaker 1>do I say Clyde? Since when said cycle my eyeballs?

<v Speaker 1>I think that said Clyde? Google Granda r N in

<v Speaker 1>TRIPLEA and Video Insane Physique Granda Gronda RN? What the

<v Speaker 1>hell Acetaliana went? What Dark Side of the Ring episodes

<v Speaker 1>on Alberto del Rio and Patrick Clark? I think both

<v Speaker 1>of those would also be good subjects. Link Master, Dark

<v Speaker 1>Side of the Ring, Jay Jay Usa and Dried Chicken.

<v Speaker 1>Brett Hard against Hogan. Loser has to buy beer for

<v Speaker 1>the boy. I'm telling you, man, thank god we got

<v Speaker 1>that match at the end, at least we guess we

<v Speaker 1>saved it there a little bit at the end. R

<v Speaker 1>n as in right now. Google Gronda right now. There's

<v Speaker 1>someone named Gronda in triple A. Granda, triple a. What

<v Speaker 1>the fuck? What is this? What is this a real?

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god? Who is this? Wait, there's more than one,

<v Speaker 1>because Luca Wiki says Gronda too, there's more than one.

<v Speaker 1>This doesn't look he's wearing a body suit. Dude, that's

<v Speaker 1>not real. That's like a body suit that he's wearing.

<v Speaker 1>It's gotta be Yeah, that's a body that's like, that's

<v Speaker 1>gotta be a body suit. Yeah. I've never heard of

<v Speaker 1>this person, but that that physique is wild. Anyway, Yes,
