<v Speaker 1>Tonight was the final live Raw for a couple of weeks.

<v Speaker 1>WWE has some TV tapings coming up over the next

<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks for Raw and SmackDown, But tonight we

<v Speaker 1>had a few different things going on on the show.

<v Speaker 1>A show that I actually, for the most part, I enjoyed.

<v Speaker 1>I thought this was a solid show tonight that ended

<v Speaker 1>with a major angle. The tag team match that was

<v Speaker 1>made for the main event La Night and Solo Sukoa

<v Speaker 1>against the USOS. That match was made earlier in the night.

<v Speaker 1>We never got a finish to the main event. It

<v Speaker 1>was ruined. It was interrupted by the returning Royce Keys.

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keys last week saw him. He had that glowing

<v Speaker 1>radioactive blood spewing out of his mouth. He was laid

<v Speaker 1>out by Jacob Fatu and the Bloodline. He did not

<v Speaker 1>come alone tonight. He had back up with him in

<v Speaker 1>the form of OTM, which is a tag team from

<v Speaker 1>NXT Bronco Nema and Lucien Price making their main roster debuts,

<v Speaker 1>and they were being ordered around Roy's Keys. They made

<v Speaker 1>it very clear that they were with him. They're the

<v Speaker 1>new trio now on Raw. Presume on Raw came across

<v Speaker 1>as Heels I guess we'll just have to wait and

<v Speaker 1>see whether or not they're meant to be heels or not.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not even sure week to week what the blood

<v Speaker 1>line is supposed to be. I thought, you know, coming

<v Speaker 1>out of last week, clearly they were the heels. And

<v Speaker 1>then we see Jimmy and jay Usel making their way

<v Speaker 1>through the crowd for the main event, and they're still

<v Speaker 1>yeating with all the little kids. So I don't know

<v Speaker 1>what they're supposed to be. But they were wreaking havoc

<v Speaker 1>all over the place. They laid everybody out La Night

<v Speaker 1>Solo so Coo and Jimmy j nobody was safe and

<v Speaker 1>keys or Hobbs. I guess, as Corey Graves called him,

<v Speaker 1>he was the one calling all the shots out there.

<v Speaker 1>So now we have some new talent. I'll tell you

<v Speaker 1>one now. I like that. I like the fact that

<v Speaker 1>they did something different, as far as I certainly wasn't

<v Speaker 1>expecting that to be the outcome. We have some new

<v Speaker 1>faces now on the show. We also have a new

<v Speaker 1>tag team though, and so there's been a lot of

<v Speaker 1>reports about what, you know, WWE wanting to strengthen their

<v Speaker 1>tags team division and put new people together or call

<v Speaker 1>up new teams. If they are going to be serious

<v Speaker 1>about that, they are going to need new teams. And

<v Speaker 1>so now we have a new team. Great. Now, there's

<v Speaker 1>still a lot of steps that need to be taken

<v Speaker 1>to remedy the situation with the Tag Team Division, but

<v Speaker 1>that could be a positive, right if they're going to

<v Speaker 1>be one more new addition to the Tag Team Division

<v Speaker 1>on Monday nights, So we'll see where it goes. One

<v Speaker 1>person who was not present at the very end, but

<v Speaker 1>he was there in the building and we did not

<v Speaker 1>see him come out at the end. Was Jacob fought

<v Speaker 1>to And so Royce Keys is out there. And even

<v Speaker 1>though he teamed up with Solo Socoa at Summer Slam

<v Speaker 1>and La Night at SummerSlam, they didn't come out to

<v Speaker 1>help him when he got wiped out all those weeks ago.

<v Speaker 1>And I assume that's going to be you know, when

<v Speaker 1>we get the Inevitable promo, we'll get that sense from

<v Speaker 1>him as well. You know, I got to look out

<v Speaker 1>for myself because clearly nobody is going to have my back.

<v Speaker 1>Well now I got two guys, two big guys who

<v Speaker 1>will have my back when you didn't. But Jacob Fatu

<v Speaker 1>has the friendship, the past friendship with Royce Keys. What

<v Speaker 1>role you know might he play in all of this

<v Speaker 1>when they eventually come face to face. He was told

<v Speaker 1>to stay in the back by jay Uso. He and

<v Speaker 1>jay Uso do not get along, so he did what

<v Speaker 1>he was told. He stayed in the back. He didn't

<v Speaker 1>come out to help them or anything, just like he

<v Speaker 1>didn't help Roman last week because Roman told him to

<v Speaker 1>stand down. So he did what Roman told him to do.

<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot of moving parts there, but I

<v Speaker 1>like the angle. We'll see where it goes. We'll see

<v Speaker 1>as far as whether they end up on the heel

<v Speaker 1>side of the baby face side of the equation there.

<v Speaker 1>The other thing we had tonight were the final two

<v Speaker 1>semifinal round the only two semifinal round matches in the

<v Speaker 1>Luca Tournament to crown a number one contender for Roman

<v Speaker 1>reigns in Mexico City that's coming up on September fourteenth,

<v Speaker 1>and we had the Luca brothers in two different matches.

<v Speaker 1>One match we had Ray Phoenix taking on Dragon Lee

<v Speaker 1>match I was very much looking forward to seeing. In

<v Speaker 1>the other match, we had Penta taking on Laparca, not

<v Speaker 1>the Laparca the current Laparca, not the Laparca that I

<v Speaker 1>enjoyed seeing many many years ago. This was apparently the

<v Speaker 1>third iteration we were told of Laparka, and wwe did

<v Speaker 1>the right thing. The match that everybody wanted to see

<v Speaker 1>was Ray Phoenix against Penta. It would have been so

<v Speaker 1>easy to screw it up just because, oh, we don't

<v Speaker 1>want to do that match right now, right we don't

<v Speaker 1>want We're gonna save that for some other time. Fuck

<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna do this match in the finals of

<v Speaker 1>this tournament for a World Heavyweight championship match. I can

<v Speaker 1>think of no bigger place to do it. Ray Phoenix, Penta.

<v Speaker 1>They're both moving on, and so next week on the show,

<v Speaker 1>we are going to get the Lucha Bros divided one

<v Speaker 1>on one. Only one of them can wrestle Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>for the championship. G I wonder who that's going to be.

<v Speaker 1>But that's the match that I think most of us

<v Speaker 1>wanted to see. And tonight the two matches were good.

<v Speaker 1>The Dragonly Phoenix match much better than the Penta and

<v Speaker 1>Laparka match. And they let those two go out there

<v Speaker 1>and have a great match. They gave them thirteen minutes

<v Speaker 1>and said go out there and do your thing. And

<v Speaker 1>so I enjoyed that very much, and now we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>get that in the final. Look, I've enjoyed the tournament.

<v Speaker 1>There are matches in the tournament where I'm watching it

<v Speaker 1>and I felt like I was watching Luca in slow motion.

<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was watching it at half speed,

<v Speaker 1>knowing what some of these guys can go out there

<v Speaker 1>and do. And I don't mean they have to just

<v Speaker 1>kill themselves, but like some of these matches, you're watching them, going, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>this is not this is a Luca tournament. It doesn't

<v Speaker 1>really feel like it. We didn't have that issue tonight,

<v Speaker 1>not in the dragon Ly and Ray Phoenix match. So

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed that. And then we also had the contract

<v Speaker 1>signing big match coming up Sunday Night's main event on

<v Speaker 1>September sixth, Opa Femi and bron Breaker. This whole battle

<v Speaker 1>for the future of WWA. Who's the future of WWE?

<v Speaker 1>Who gives a shit? We know they're both going to

<v Speaker 1>be pushed like the future in WWE. These silly nonsensical

<v Speaker 1>you know, angles or feuds sometimes in how they Oh,

<v Speaker 1>I remember, like god, what was the match they did?

<v Speaker 1>It was for like, the battle for the future of

<v Speaker 1>the business and not just WWE, but the business in general.

<v Speaker 1>I think it was something with Seth Rollins and I

<v Speaker 1>forget who his opponent was, and I'm just like, really, like,

<v Speaker 1>come on, nobody believed that, but we can believe in

<v Speaker 1>this case that these two are gonna be the guys

<v Speaker 1>that are going to be pushed the heaviest by this company.

<v Speaker 1>And when Paul Hayman is out there saying, oh, this

<v Speaker 1>is a WrestleMania main event, yeah, you know what it

<v Speaker 1>probably is. It's probably a WrestleMania Maine event two or

<v Speaker 1>three times over. And when this segment was over and

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it, I mean as contract signings go, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it was exactly what you would normally expect. They didn't

<v Speaker 1>do anything out of the ordinary. But when it was over,

<v Speaker 1>it was very clear to me who came out on

<v Speaker 1>top in the verbal back and forth, the verbal joust

<v Speaker 1>between these two, and who came off honestly as more

<v Speaker 1>of a star. There was no ambiguity about it. Very

<v Speaker 1>clear by the time this was over who the real

<v Speaker 1>future and top guy is going to be. So we'll

<v Speaker 1>get into all that. There were some other things on

<v Speaker 1>the show I didn't really care for. But the key

<v Speaker 1>stuff I thought was good was good. I'm the whole

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed the show. So let's talk about this from

<v Speaker 1>start to finish. This is your Monday Night Raw review.

<v Speaker 1>It is Monday Night, August twenty fourth, twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 1>I am the solemn Oh, yes, you know Fern. That's right,

<v Speaker 1>Fern said. Seth said something like that for night one

<v Speaker 1>of the WrestleMania forty main event as well. Yeah, that's

<v Speaker 1>not what I was referring to, but that is another

<v Speaker 1>example of that. Yeah, the fate of the business is

<v Speaker 1>on the line. Shut the fuck up, like and subscribe.

<v Speaker 1>And I want to say thank you to everybody as well.

<v Speaker 1>I noticed a nice little thing to wake up to

<v Speaker 1>this morning, the sound Off once again, second time in

<v Speaker 1>as many months, number one on the Apple Podcast charts

<v Speaker 1>for pro wrestling podcast coming out of this weekend, back

<v Speaker 1>in the top spot. That's all because of you, guys,

<v Speaker 1>So I thank you for that very very much. Always

<v Speaker 1>nice to wake up to that on a Monday morning.

<v Speaker 1>Let's spend this bad boy here. See how many likes

<v Speaker 1>we need to do? Be the booker. We had an

<v Speaker 1>insane Friday night if you were here for the SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>stream and that was a big night. We had the

<v Speaker 1>WWE Championship match Cmpunk and Kevin Owens. That was a

<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. On Friday night, we ended up doing

<v Speaker 1>four rounds of Be the Booker and the bombs were dropping.

<v Speaker 1>So I want to say thank you for that as well.

<v Speaker 1>Let's spin this around, find out what we need. What

<v Speaker 1>do we need? Three fifty that should be doable. This

<v Speaker 1>stream is for the future of the business. It says,

<v Speaker 1>mind the gap. What business would that be? I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>I'll take your word for it. Three hundred and fifty

<v Speaker 1>likes what we need to do? One round of Be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker guaranteed. All right, let's get into this review here.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna start from the very top. They started with

<v Speaker 1>highlights from the end of the show last week, the

<v Speaker 1>big bloodline segment where Jay Usso was serving solo so

<v Speaker 1>CoA to Roman Reigns, who was not here tonight. Fear not, though,

<v Speaker 1>because we were told later in the show, Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>is going to return another return. Yes, that will take

<v Speaker 1>place next week. Actually that will technically take place on

<v Speaker 1>Friday because Raw will not be live next Monday. Hey, Daryl,

<v Speaker 1>what's up? Fuck that Tree coming in hot with a

<v Speaker 1>learning Tree. Yeah, we're gonna talk about Big cast too.

<v Speaker 1>He had his first match, finally, he had his first

<v Speaker 1>match on TV before Blake Monroe did. And she's been

<v Speaker 1>coming a lot longer than he has, so think about that. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>So we had to highlights from the end of the

<v Speaker 1>show last week, Solo Soca, spiking, Roman, reigns, dapping it

<v Speaker 1>up with La Night. They left together. So now we

<v Speaker 1>come back live and to open the show, we have

<v Speaker 1>La Knight comes out to the ring. He's in the

<v Speaker 1>Capital City of Canada. They were in Ottawa. Were they

<v Speaker 1>in Ottawa? Where the hell were they tonight? No, they

<v Speaker 1>weren't that. Where the hell were they tonight? I was thinking,

<v Speaker 1>my mind is so set. It was Ottawa, right, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of Toronto for summer. I still have Toronto

<v Speaker 1>on the brain from Friday. Anyway, they're in the Capital

<v Speaker 1>City for raw tonight and he's here to talk about

<v Speaker 1>a capital ce in Coward in Roman reigns and when

<v Speaker 1>he mentions Rains, it gets a very mixed reaction here

<v Speaker 1>from the crowd. And this has happened numerous times before

<v Speaker 1>in La Night promos, where he's trying to tell people

<v Speaker 1>that Roman is a fraud. You can't believe anything. He says,

<v Speaker 1>he's not a good guy, he's a bad guy, and

<v Speaker 1>all the shit that he talks about Roman and the

<v Speaker 1>fans usually boo him. And then he comes back with,

<v Speaker 1>I don't blame all of you. I understand I get it.

<v Speaker 1>You guys are brainwashed. He's got you all fooled, right,

<v Speaker 1>that's usually his take on that, and so here he

<v Speaker 1>acknowledges mixed reaction, but I get it, I understand it, right,

<v Speaker 1>He's got to toe that line. He can't heal on

<v Speaker 1>the fans because he's supposed to be a babyface, but

<v Speaker 1>he really should heal on the fans because I don't

<v Speaker 1>know why these people would be cheering for Roman anyway.

<v Speaker 1>So he accuses Roman of sending every family member that

<v Speaker 1>he could after him to keep him away, and he

<v Speaker 1>remembers Romans saying that you haven't earned the right to

<v Speaker 1>challenge for the championship. You haven't won a Battle Royal,

<v Speaker 1>you haven't won a tournament. And so then all of

<v Speaker 1>a sudden, we have this tournament that gets created, and

<v Speaker 1>lo and behold La Knight can't qualify. He's not allowed

<v Speaker 1>to qualify for that tournament. So then he brought out

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa and Solo comes out through the crowd, but

<v Speaker 1>not like the usual way he comes out. He's kind

<v Speaker 1>of I don't know where the hell he was. He

<v Speaker 1>was on the main level. He's walking through the crowd.

<v Speaker 1>Knights like searching for him. You can hear Solo on

<v Speaker 1>the mic in the background and he's saying yeah a

<v Speaker 1>few times, and he did the whole let me talk

<v Speaker 1>to you line. He was doing his best La Night impression.

<v Speaker 1>So Solo thanked him for helping him last week said

<v Speaker 1>after everything that they've been through, Knight could have said no,

<v Speaker 1>but instead he said yeah. So Solo was he was

<v Speaker 1>going to deliver another one of Knight's lines. Knights cut

<v Speaker 1>him off and said, look, I let you get away

<v Speaker 1>with two of them. He goes, consider this your warning shot.

<v Speaker 1>Usels made their way out, not through the crowd, They

<v Speaker 1>made their way through the entrance. Spoke from the aisleway.

<v Speaker 1>Jimmy said it looked like they had a funny guy

<v Speaker 1>in the ring. Talking about Solo. He said that Solo

<v Speaker 1>probably thought it was funny last week when he went

<v Speaker 1>against his own brothers and when he spiked, Romans said

<v Speaker 1>Solo had consequences coming. So then j spoke, Jay did

<v Speaker 1>his usual warning shot line, and when he did, Solo

<v Speaker 1>did the old Matrix slow motion pose in response. And

<v Speaker 1>it was funny because Night stood kind of behind him,

<v Speaker 1>trying to be there for him in case he fell,

<v Speaker 1>and everybody had a nice laugh at this, and Solo

<v Speaker 1>at that point pitched a tag team match for the

<v Speaker 1>main event later tonight, where it was La Night and

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa against the USOS. So a very basic opening

<v Speaker 1>segment here. Soo so though, funny guy that he is

<v Speaker 1>still over is a babyface. People are enjoying it. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know how long it's gonna last. I don't trust

<v Speaker 1>them to not have them turn on Night and aligned

<v Speaker 1>with his family members. I call it wwe PTSD, I

<v Speaker 1>call it whatever you want. I'm enjoying it for now,

<v Speaker 1>But the cynical part of me thinks that this is

<v Speaker 1>all going to come to an end in the next

<v Speaker 1>couple of months and they're going to turn him right

<v Speaker 1>back to a heel, which I think would be fucking insane.

<v Speaker 1>Then again, he's got a new T shirt. If that

<v Speaker 1>T shirt sells well enough, he should be safe for

<v Speaker 1>a while. If the T shirt doesn't sell as well,

<v Speaker 1>they might turn him back heel very quickly. We had

<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Viquer her first match since losing the Women's World

<v Speaker 1>Championship to Live Morgan at WrestleMania So for the first

<v Speaker 1>time in over four months, one on one here against

<v Speaker 1>Roxane Perez of the Judgment Day. These two were not

<v Speaker 1>on the same page at the beginning of this match.

<v Speaker 1>There was some clunkiness here. There was one spot where

<v Speaker 1>they kind of fell into the ropes. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>what the hell happened there. Vicer went up top when

<v Speaker 1>Raquel Rodriguez, who was out there with Live Morgan. Raquel

<v Speaker 1>distracted the referee. Perez then shoved Vicaire to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>After a commercial break, Perez hit a cartwheel into a

<v Speaker 1>knee drop for a near fall the crowd. I will

<v Speaker 1>say for this match, ah, I'm rawt got fought a lot.

<v Speaker 1>Is the Nexus back? Fuck that tree? The Nexus. This

<v Speaker 1>was not at the end of the show tonight. This

<v Speaker 1>was a don't even sully the name of the Nexus.

<v Speaker 1>This was nothing compared to that Nexus angle from twenty ten.

<v Speaker 1>You believe that was sixteen years ago. The Nexus invaded

<v Speaker 1>Raw sixteen years ago. I can still remember where I

<v Speaker 1>was that day. I had gone to the observation deck

<v Speaker 1>of the Empire State Building, and I remember trying to

<v Speaker 1>race home to catch Raw because Raw was a special

<v Speaker 1>three hour show. Yeah back then, every now and then

<v Speaker 1>you would have a special three hour episode of Raw,

<v Speaker 1>which actually felt like, oh if, it kind of feels

<v Speaker 1>special because they didn't do it every week, So I

<v Speaker 1>would race home to make sure I didn't miss a

<v Speaker 1>minute of the show. Might have times have changed. Crowd, though,

<v Speaker 1>was library silent for this match. They only made noise

<v Speaker 1>finally when Stephanie Tees doing the Devil's Kiss. That's the

<v Speaker 1>only point in this match where they finally woke up

<v Speaker 1>and sounded like they gave a shit about anything. Roxanne

<v Speaker 1>came back with a cross face. Stephanie fought out of

<v Speaker 1>that hit her packaged backbreaker, and then headed up top

<v Speaker 1>as Raquel distracted the referee. Though Live Morgan yank Stephanie down.

<v Speaker 1>That brought out Becky Lynch to her music. She came

<v Speaker 1>out to go after Live. Roxanne whiffed on a springboard

<v Speaker 1>moon salt and Stephanie came back with a double underhook

<v Speaker 1>lung blower and she picked up the win, which I

<v Speaker 1>mean her first match back in four months, teasing the

<v Speaker 1>fact that she was going to be going after the

<v Speaker 1>Women's World Championship. There was going to be no other

<v Speaker 1>outcome here. After the match, Morgan tried to sneak attack

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, Becky stopped her and then dumped her

<v Speaker 1>into the timekeeper's area. I didn't think this was much

<v Speaker 1>of a match for the first half. It got better

<v Speaker 1>as it went along. It's just good to see Stephanie back.

<v Speaker 1>She was gone for so many months. We didn't know why.

<v Speaker 1>If it was an injury visa, you know what's going on.

<v Speaker 1>And then on Unreal if you watched this season of Unreal,

<v Speaker 1>in one of the episodes, I think it was the

<v Speaker 1>one after she lost the Belt to Live, might have

<v Speaker 1>been backstage at Wrestle Many of the night she lost

<v Speaker 1>the championship, she got very emotional. She kind of broke

<v Speaker 1>down talking about how she's been going hard for ten

<v Speaker 1>years and her body, she's burned out. She needs some

<v Speaker 1>time off, and so it was probably just as simple

<v Speaker 1>as she needed a few months off just to heal

<v Speaker 1>up and get her body to where it needed to be,

<v Speaker 1>and now she's back and that's great. Her m Becky

<v Speaker 1>being back is great for that women's division. Speaking of back,

<v Speaker 1>we go to the back. After this match, Ray Maisterio

<v Speaker 1>was psyching up Ray Phoenix for his upcoming tournament match

<v Speaker 1>against Dragonly when Dominic Mysterio and JD mcdonna's show up

<v Speaker 1>and dom was complaining about not being in the Lucca tournament,

<v Speaker 1>Ray said, it was because you're not a real luchador,

<v Speaker 1>which is a hell of a thing to say to

<v Speaker 1>your Triple A Mega champion. The man who has been

<v Speaker 1>the top champion in your company for nearly a year

<v Speaker 1>is not a real luchador. Javon Evans showed up and

<v Speaker 1>he beat the hell out of Dom and JD and

<v Speaker 1>left them laying and then he and Ray left together Raymysterio,

<v Speaker 1>not Ray Phoenix. Ray Phoenix had disappeared for the end

<v Speaker 1>of this Then it was time for the first of

<v Speaker 1>our two semifinal round tournament matches tonight, with the Triple

<v Speaker 1>A Cruiserweight Champion Ray Phoenix one on one against Dragon Lee.

<v Speaker 1>The winner would go to the finals of the tournament

<v Speaker 1>to wrestle Penta, even though Penta had not yet qualified

<v Speaker 1>for the finals. But I mean, come on, now, let's

<v Speaker 1>be real. He finally got something here that felt like

<v Speaker 1>a real lucha match. It felt like they let these

<v Speaker 1>guys go out there and they let them do what

<v Speaker 1>they do without much in the way of restriction, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>beyond the usual TV restrictions that they have, but they

<v Speaker 1>got time. They went out there and this was great.

<v Speaker 1>After a commercial break, Dragon Lee hit Phoenix with a

<v Speaker 1>sitout power bomb for a near fall. Phoenix came back

<v Speaker 1>with a moon salt off the top for one of

<v Speaker 1>his own. So Lee had Phoenix hanging upside down in

<v Speaker 1>the corner. He hit him with a double stomp off

<v Speaker 1>the top for a near fall. Lee then caught Phoenix

<v Speaker 1>with a kick that sent him out to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>Now Phoenix ended up on top of the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>sitting on top of the desk, and Lee got back

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, and he hits the ropes and he

<v Speaker 1>goes flying through the ropes and he hits a cannonball

<v Speaker 1>dive through the ropes at warp speed that wipe really

<v Speaker 1>both of them, but it wiped out Ray. Phoenix knocked

<v Speaker 1>him backwards off the desk hard on them. He took

<v Speaker 1>a hard fall onto the floor. Hell of a crazy

<v Speaker 1>spot this was Lee rolled Phoenix back into the ring,

<v Speaker 1>hit him with a Tornado DDT for a near fall.

<v Speaker 1>Lee went for his Operation Dragon finish. Phoenix, though, countered

<v Speaker 1>out into a brain buster and then he tried for

<v Speaker 1>the Mexican musclebuster. Lee countered out into a styles clash

<v Speaker 1>his old partner and he hits it. And that was

<v Speaker 1>the most convincing near fall of the match, because I said,

<v Speaker 1>coming into this week, I said, look, Ray Phoenix is

<v Speaker 1>probably going to win. He should win. But you know,

<v Speaker 1>every now and then they give like a little mini

<v Speaker 1>push to Dragon Lee and he's you know, he's a

<v Speaker 1>big name on Raw as far as like the mid

<v Speaker 1>card talents they have, and I could see them just

<v Speaker 1>you know, wanting to and maybe part of it is, oh,

<v Speaker 1>everybody thinks that Phoenix is going to win, and we

<v Speaker 1>don't really want to do that match. You could have,

<v Speaker 1>you know, bought into the idea that Dragon Lee might

<v Speaker 1>actually win this and if you did, this was the

<v Speaker 1>near fall that probably convinced you. And Phoenix kicked out

<v Speaker 1>at the very last second. I was well done. Now,

<v Speaker 1>Phoenix came back with a rolling cutter for a near

<v Speaker 1>fall of his own. Soon thereafter, the Mexican musclebuster hits

<v Speaker 1>and Ray Phoenix pinged Dragonly to send himself to the

<v Speaker 1>finals of this tournament, easily the best match of the

<v Speaker 1>tournament so far, which I figured it would be once

<v Speaker 1>I saw who was going one on one here in

<v Speaker 1>this match. But again, it was always just a question

<v Speaker 1>of are they going to give them six minutes or

<v Speaker 1>are they going to give them twelve minutes. They gave

<v Speaker 1>them thirteen minutes, which was more than enough time for

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

<v Speaker 1>and really get the crowd into it. On a night

<v Speaker 1>where again it was like pulling teeth to try to

<v Speaker 1>get a reaction out of these people. They went in

<v Speaker 1>there and they had a great one. So I very

<v Speaker 1>much enjoyed this. The only question now was who would

<v Speaker 1>Phoenix be wrestling in the finals next week. We would

<v Speaker 1>find out the answer to that. A little bit later

<v Speaker 1>on in the show, we got a vignette that aired

<v Speaker 1>for a woman whose face was never shown. She was

<v Speaker 1>never identified, clearly it was Lolavice that you can kind

<v Speaker 1>of tell it's not that hard, So she was walking

<v Speaker 1>into like a club, but then they showed her in

<v Speaker 1>a gym tapping out some dudes, and then they flashed

<v Speaker 1>the date of nine fourteen at the end of the

<v Speaker 1>video here, which is a Monday. And it's not surprising

<v Speaker 1>because nine fourteen the same night that Roman is defending

<v Speaker 1>his championship against the winner of this tournament that is

<v Speaker 1>in Mexico City, and Lola spent some time down in

<v Speaker 1>Tripaa for a while, so it's the perfect place to

<v Speaker 1>debut her. You know, she's going to get a great reaction.

<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised if they keep her on Raw unless they

<v Speaker 1>move Damian Priest there. I just figured that she would

<v Speaker 1>end up on the same brand with Damian Priest, and

<v Speaker 1>I don't know that moving him to Raw honestly wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>be a bad idea right now because he's doing a

<v Speaker 1>whole lot of nothing on Friday nights, so that would

<v Speaker 1>be the only surprise to me. But then wanting to

<v Speaker 1>debut her on nine to fourteen in Mexico City is

<v Speaker 1>not a surprise, And they had trademarked the term Vice

<v Speaker 1>City recently. It's for her very narrow specification, specifically for

<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling. That's why they were allowed to do that,

<v Speaker 1>but yes, the Vice City trademark is for Lola. Then

<v Speaker 1>it was time for the contract signing for a Sunday

<v Speaker 1>Night's main event between Oba Femi and bron Breaker. Adam

<v Speaker 1>Pierce was in the ring with Paul Hayman. He introduced

<v Speaker 1>Oba out to the ring first. Hayman then did the

<v Speaker 1>intro for bron Breaker. They each took a seat at

<v Speaker 1>either end of the table. Breaker started speaking first, and

<v Speaker 1>he asked, Oba, who the hell do you think you

<v Speaker 1>are claiming to be the future of WWE. As if

<v Speaker 1>you've earned it, what have you done to earn it?

<v Speaker 1>He goes, what you beat Brock? Okay you won King

<v Speaker 1>of the ring said, okay, Oba, you squashed a bunch

<v Speaker 1>of people, a lot of great opportunities, but none of

<v Speaker 1>them sound like championships. Eight months ago before you showed

<v Speaker 1>up so that he had WWE in the palm of

<v Speaker 1>his hand. The fans chanted his name, they barked in

<v Speaker 1>every town just like they do now for Oba, and

<v Speaker 1>then he got hurt. He took himself out because let's

<v Speaker 1>be honest, nobody in the back is mad enough to

<v Speaker 1>do it, including you. And then Oba, you weaseled your

<v Speaker 1>way into my opportunities, and you got everything handed to you,

<v Speaker 1>and then you are in the position that you are

<v Speaker 1>in right now because I got hurt and I'm back

<v Speaker 1>here now to rightfully claim what belongs to me. So

<v Speaker 1>then Oba spoke up. Oba's just sitting back during all this.

<v Speaker 1>He's got he's got his dress shirt on. He's sitting

<v Speaker 1>there just with a smirk on his face, just you know,

<v Speaker 1>taking it all in and listening very intently to what

<v Speaker 1>you know Bron had to say. And Oba called Broun

<v Speaker 1>an angry orange man. Why are you so angry? He

<v Speaker 1>should have askedhim why he's so orange? Why are you

<v Speaker 1>so angry? He doesn't underestimate Braun. He thinks that if

<v Speaker 1>Breaker had debuted in two thousand and two and ran

<v Speaker 1>up against John Cena, he would be the face in

<v Speaker 1>the future of this place. And if he did the

<v Speaker 1>same in twenty fifteen up against the big dog back

<v Speaker 1>then he would be the face and the future. I

<v Speaker 1>will tell you right now the answer is no, he

<v Speaker 1>would not be. If Bron Breaker came along in twenty

<v Speaker 1>fifteen and Vince McMahon had the big Dog, he would

<v Speaker 1>have love in his eyes. You remember, I'll believe me.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you all remember how hard that Roman was

<v Speaker 1>pushed back then, the blue contact lenses, right, all the

<v Speaker 1>big situations that he was put in, every opportunity that

<v Speaker 1>he was given to get himself over. You think Vince

<v Speaker 1>would have passed over Roman for Braun Breaker. Give me

<v Speaker 1>a break for the benefit of this promo, though, we'll

<v Speaker 1>pretend that's trip. So if it was twenty fifteen, Breaker

<v Speaker 1>would have been the face of this place. But this

<v Speaker 1>is twenty twenty six, and he has the unfortunate privilege

<v Speaker 1>of running against him Obafemi. But this is the part

<v Speaker 1>of the equation where the math stops making sense to Bron,

<v Speaker 1>because Bron can't understand that because Oba exists, his chances

<v Speaker 1>of being the face of this place have drastically gone down. Actually,

<v Speaker 1>if you want to say it the right way, drastically,

<v Speaker 1>I believe is how Scott Steiner said it. Little Steiner Math.

<v Speaker 1>Here the dogs are barking, They're barking up the wrong tree.

<v Speaker 1>He's outclassed on every level. And on Sunday Night's main event,

<v Speaker 1>he will show Bron that he is the ruler. He

<v Speaker 1>is the destroyer, the bringer of war and the future Obafemi.

<v Speaker 1>So then it was Breaker's turn to retort. He said,

<v Speaker 1>this is funny. I love it. I love that they

<v Speaker 1>chant your name and they do the strut, and that

<v Speaker 1>they all think Oba is going to run right over him.

<v Speaker 1>He's going to force Oba to fight him in the

<v Speaker 1>deep waters. He's gonna get tired, his lungs are gonna

<v Speaker 1>not have any air in them, his legs are gonna

<v Speaker 1>basically be gone. He's gonna be sorry thinking that he

<v Speaker 1>could compete with a real dog like him in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>He's going to own him and Oba will spend the

<v Speaker 1>rest of his career living in bronze shadow. He's bron Breaker,

<v Speaker 1>the guy that Oba Femi could not beat. So with that,

<v Speaker 1>Breaker signs the contract. Then he stands up and he

<v Speaker 1>walks over towards Oba, said you want to sign this,

<v Speaker 1>and then he hands the contract off force forcibly into

<v Speaker 1>Paul Haman's chest, hands the contract to Haman and tells Oba,

<v Speaker 1>or maybe your daddy should do it for you. So

<v Speaker 1>then Breaker turns to Hamid. He tells Paul, sign it

<v Speaker 1>go ahead. You've been walking around for weeks like you

<v Speaker 1>represent the guy walking around like you want nothing to

<v Speaker 1>do with me. Brock shows up, I take a back seat.

<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, sign it, Sign it for him. He grabs

<v Speaker 1>Hayman by the jacket as he's screaming, and then he turns.

<v Speaker 1>In the middle of all this, he turns and he

<v Speaker 1>cheap shots Oba with a forearm, and then a few

<v Speaker 1>seconds later Oba shoots back up. He grabs Breaker by

<v Speaker 1>the throat, so we get a slug fest. Austin Theory

<v Speaker 1>comes into the ring from behind. Oba fights him off,

<v Speaker 1>but then he turns around. He gets a dropped by

<v Speaker 1>a clothes line from Breaker. Now it's a two on

<v Speaker 1>one assault. Theory holds Oba up for bron to run

<v Speaker 1>the ropes. As he comes off the ropes, though, Breaker

<v Speaker 1>eats a big boot. Femi knocks down Theory. He close

<v Speaker 1>lines Breaker out to the floor. Now Theory is back.

<v Speaker 1>He gets scooped up and bealed halfway across the ring

<v Speaker 1>through the table. I mean, he got put through this

<v Speaker 1>fucking table. And Breaker gets back up on the april

<v Speaker 1>and he's thinking about getting back into the ring, but

<v Speaker 1>he's he second guesses himself because Oba is standing there

<v Speaker 1>and Oba has the crazy eyes. Now I said this

<v Speaker 1>in my Dynamite review last week. Kenny Omega after he

<v Speaker 1>put will Osprey through the table at the end of

<v Speaker 1>the show. I said he had the crazy eyes. That

<v Speaker 1>was nothing compared to this. I mean Oba Oba looked

<v Speaker 1>like he was about to blow a gasket, like his

<v Speaker 1>eyes were about to pop out of his skull. And

<v Speaker 1>wisely Breaker thought better of it. He stepped back down

<v Speaker 1>to the floor and that was the end of that.

<v Speaker 1>Oba picks up the contract and he says, Sunday Night's

<v Speaker 1>main event, Breaker is running away. You're running from me.

<v Speaker 1>And Oba signs the contract. He tosses it out of

<v Speaker 1>the ring right at the feet of bron Breaker. So

<v Speaker 1>I thought this was good. And we had the back

<v Speaker 1>and forth on the microphone between these two and I think,

<v Speaker 1>I look, I mean, if this was a UFC fight,

<v Speaker 1>you got three rounds right, go to the judges' scorecards.

<v Speaker 1>The judge, the judges great ten eight ten eight ten

<v Speaker 1>eight for the winner or however the fuck they do it. Well,

<v Speaker 1>this this was a clean sweep. This was a win

<v Speaker 1>for Obafemi. Here that Breaker. It's not like Breaker, you know,

<v Speaker 1>was awful or anything, but he was outclassed. Like Oba

<v Speaker 1>Femi when I told you that, he just sat there

<v Speaker 1>and he looks all calm with a smirk on his face,

<v Speaker 1>just taking it all in. He didn't look phazed by

<v Speaker 1>any of this at all. He said what he said.

<v Speaker 1>I thought what he said was was, you know on

<v Speaker 1>point Breaker, Yeah, I mean he kind of stammered a

<v Speaker 1>little bit through parts of his promo, but like when

<v Speaker 1>it was over, Oba just felt like he was the

<v Speaker 1>more polished of the two, and he was the guy

<v Speaker 1>who you know, was the future, right, He's gonna be

<v Speaker 1>the future if this is about who's gonna be the

<v Speaker 1>future of the company. He came off that way hell

<v Speaker 1>of a lot more than bron Breaker did, so I

<v Speaker 1>thought this was a win for Oba, But I'm looking

<v Speaker 1>forward to the match itself because this is it does

<v Speaker 1>feel like we are now in, or are are heading

<v Speaker 1>into this next phase, this next period of WWE where

<v Speaker 1>you're going to start to see people like these two,

<v Speaker 1>and then others will join them as well, you know,

<v Speaker 1>as time goes on, as those new faces that they're

<v Speaker 1>going to have to rely on in main events because

<v Speaker 1>Ceampunk is not going to be around forever, Sammy's saying,

<v Speaker 1>and Kevin Owens, you know, even Roman, right, these guys

<v Speaker 1>are not going to be around forever. Look at all

<v Speaker 1>the guys that are already gone, Sina gone, aj gone,

<v Speaker 1>Brock gone, and there's going to be more. So we're

<v Speaker 1>heading into this next period here, And I can understand

<v Speaker 1>if they didn't maybe want to go to this match

<v Speaker 1>this quickly, if they wanted to save this for further

<v Speaker 1>down the road, save it for what, you know, Like

<v Speaker 1>how long are you going to put this off for?

<v Speaker 1>I was pissed they didn't do it in the King

<v Speaker 1>of the Ring Tournament. I think to do it the

<v Speaker 1>first time there, it wouldn't have hurt anybody. But now

<v Speaker 1>we're getting it, you know, on Sunday Night's main event.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll get multiple matches out of it. But I'm

<v Speaker 1>glad that we're going to this now because my question

<v Speaker 1>coming out of Summer Slim and that went over Bronck,

<v Speaker 1>was like, what the hell do you do now with

<v Speaker 1>Oba if he's not going after Roman, which honestly it

<v Speaker 1>would have made the most sense. You just beat brock Lesnar,

<v Speaker 1>you vanquished him. What else is left for him to

<v Speaker 1>do other than go after the World Heavyweight championship. But

<v Speaker 1>they probably want to save it, have him win the rumble,

<v Speaker 1>go to Mania all right, Well, you got six months

<v Speaker 1>to work with here, What the hell do you do

<v Speaker 1>with this guy? You're not gonna have him go in

<v Speaker 1>there and wrestle Gable for the Intercontinental Championship. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>that would be ridiculous. So you feud him with the Vision,

<v Speaker 1>you feud him with bron Breaker and probably Bronson Reid,

<v Speaker 1>because Bronson Reid. I in my mind as I think

<v Speaker 1>about what could they do here in this match? How

<v Speaker 1>does Bronson Reid not get involved? How does Bronson Read

<v Speaker 1>not get involved and cost you know, Oba Femu the win.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that's where this is headed. And then coming

<v Speaker 1>out of that, you can do Oba and Bronton Reid

<v Speaker 1>before you even circle back around to Oba and Breaker again,

<v Speaker 1>and you can get a few months out of this.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm looking at these photos that we've seen

<v Speaker 1>around social media recently, a Bronton Reid. He looks like

<v Speaker 1>a fucking different person. Get him in that mix. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure they will, you know, on that show. I'm sure

<v Speaker 1>he's going to factor into that match in some way.

<v Speaker 1>So what we got here was good. I'm looking forward

<v Speaker 1>to the match, and I'm looking forward to Bronton Reid

<v Speaker 1>being back get him back in the mix, bring some

<v Speaker 1>I guess life back to the Vision. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>they need to be in the Vision at all, but

<v Speaker 1>unless they're not, if they're not going to disband this group,

<v Speaker 1>let's get this guy back. Can we please just you know,

<v Speaker 1>get something going here with these guys. I mean, the

<v Speaker 1>Vision is on fucking life support at this point. We

<v Speaker 1>go to the back and Jacob Fatu is back there.

<v Speaker 1>You could throw his name on that list too. When

<v Speaker 1>I was talking about the future in this next phase,

<v Speaker 1>this next kind of generation of stars. Right now, he's

<v Speaker 1>definitely right up there with those two. Fatu and the usso's.

<v Speaker 1>They're arguing about what happened at the end of the

<v Speaker 1>show last week, because whose shoes will Bronson steel first?

<v Speaker 1>I would hope that his theft days are over. I

<v Speaker 1>don't think we need to go back to that the

<v Speaker 1>fucking sneakers tied around his neck. They're arguing over the

<v Speaker 1>fact that Jacob Fatu stood idly by in the ring

<v Speaker 1>last week while the rest of the Bloodline got their

<v Speaker 1>asses handed to them by Solo Sokoa in La Knight,

<v Speaker 1>and Fatu said, look, I don't listen to Jay's punk

<v Speaker 1>ass he ran the play just like Roman told him to.

<v Speaker 1>Roman told him to stand down, and so that's what

<v Speaker 1>he did. So Jay showed off his spiffy new ufalapha

<v Speaker 1>that he has the black ulafala that he has around

<v Speaker 1>his neck that Roman gave him. He called the play

<v Speaker 1>for Fatu tonight, which was stay in the back and

<v Speaker 1>stand around doing nothing. He did last week after this,

<v Speaker 1>we had Javon Evans looking for revenge against the man

<v Speaker 1>who has been laying him out, making his life a

<v Speaker 1>living hell now for weeks, Big Casts. This was Cass's

<v Speaker 1>first match in WWE in eight years. Last match he

<v Speaker 1>had in WWE was against Daniel Bryan. Been a long

<v Speaker 1>time since that match happened and he lost, and I

<v Speaker 1>thought there was a chance he could lose here and

<v Speaker 1>that would have been fucking dumb. So let's see how

<v Speaker 1>this goes. Michael Cole is trying to tell this story

<v Speaker 1>on commentary and he's talking about how eight years ago

<v Speaker 1>he was fired from WWE and he still doesn't understand

<v Speaker 1>why WWE fired him, and he's unwilling to take responsibility

<v Speaker 1>for his actions, and he's putting the blame on everybody

<v Speaker 1>but himself and Corey Graves says, you know, he's a

<v Speaker 1>coward who sneak attacks smaller stars from behind over and

<v Speaker 1>over again. That shows his insecurities. So they have their

<v Speaker 1>they have their story that they're telling here. As far

<v Speaker 1>as a big Cast goes, Cass wiped him out early

<v Speaker 1>with a boss man slam. Later on, Evans dumped him

<v Speaker 1>into the timekeeper's area and he did his spot where

<v Speaker 1>he gets a running start around the ring, dives onto him.

<v Speaker 1>Evans then puts him back inside. He follows hits a

<v Speaker 1>springboard clothesline. Javan goes up top for the og cutter.

<v Speaker 1>Cast those shoves him off the ropes Evans he hit

<v Speaker 1>the apron hard on the way down. He came up,

<v Speaker 1>he was clutching his hamstring back in the ring. Cast

<v Speaker 1>just drilled him with a big boot, made a great sound,

<v Speaker 1>and he covered him and he pinned him one two

<v Speaker 1>three in the middle of the ring, clean as a sheet.

<v Speaker 1>And when it was over, Cass had a bloody mouth.

<v Speaker 1>This I talked about this last week. I said, obviously

<v Speaker 1>this is going to go one of two ways. Obviously

<v Speaker 1>one guy wins or the other guy wins, but Cast wins,

<v Speaker 1>but in doing so, Javan doesn't just go in there

<v Speaker 1>and get squashed. He goes in there, he puts up

<v Speaker 1>a fight. Maybe you get some close near falls out

<v Speaker 1>of it, but in the end it's just too much.

<v Speaker 1>This guy is fucking two or three times his size.

<v Speaker 1>Or they go in there and they have Javan chop

<v Speaker 1>down the giant and overcome, because their real goal here

<v Speaker 1>is to push Javon Evans and less so push big casts.

<v Speaker 1>For Cast's sake, I was hoping it was option one

<v Speaker 1>because he really could ill afford to lose his first match.

<v Speaker 1>He loses the first match against this guy, his credibility

<v Speaker 1>is gone. I like what they did here because if

<v Speaker 1>you saw he had the bloody mouth at the end, Javan,

<v Speaker 1>they gave him a lot here in this match, and

<v Speaker 1>he was putting a fight. He was putting a fucking

<v Speaker 1>ass kicking on this guy. After he did the dive

<v Speaker 1>over the timekeeper's barricade, he was punching him. He's fucking

<v Speaker 1>talking shit to him. It was probably, I think right

<v Speaker 1>around then that he came up bleeding from the mouth,

<v Speaker 1>So you know he was out there, you know, doing

<v Speaker 1>his thing and trying to put up a real fight here.

<v Speaker 1>But in the end, it was too much. He got

<v Speaker 1>mowed down by his SI sixteen and that was it,

<v Speaker 1>and they'll probably run it back again eventually he may

<v Speaker 1>get his win back. So I thought, you know, what

<v Speaker 1>they did here was what they needed to do. Keep

<v Speaker 1>Javon looking strong, but give cast the win. He's the

<v Speaker 1>new guy. He hasn't been here in eight years. He's

<v Speaker 1>been kicking people's asses now, mostly Javon's for the last

<v Speaker 1>three weeks. Don't don't send him out there and make

<v Speaker 1>him lose his first match. So he got that first

<v Speaker 1>win under his belt. As he was leaving, dom and

<v Speaker 1>JD McDonough they jumped Evans in the ring. Dominic came

<v Speaker 1>off the top with a frog splash, so that's how

<v Speaker 1>they left things there. When this was over, we go

<v Speaker 1>to the back and Jackie Redman is interviewing soul Ruka,

<v Speaker 1>who apparently is getting a rematch again for the Women's

<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental Championship against Riquel Rodriguez next week. Eo skywalks in

<v Speaker 1>all friendly, happy and she wished good luck to sol

<v Speaker 1>Ruka in her match. And then Lyra Valkyrie, Oh, you know,

<v Speaker 1>greasy old Lyra who looks like she hasn't slept or

<v Speaker 1>showered in weeks and weeks. This is her gimmick. Apparently,

<v Speaker 1>she showed up and she was acting all friendly, and

<v Speaker 1>she suggested that Sol give her the title match instead.

<v Speaker 1>And I know this may shock you, but soul Ruka

<v Speaker 1>was not really receptive to this suggestion. Then we had

<v Speaker 1>the final semifinal round match in the Lucha Tournament. It

<v Speaker 1>was Penta one on one against Laparka, not WCW Laparca,

<v Speaker 1>but this was the third iteration of Laparca according to

<v Speaker 1>Corey Graves. As with some of the matches that we

<v Speaker 1>had earlier in the show, the crowd was church silent

<v Speaker 1>for the first half of this. Then it got good.

<v Speaker 1>Penta landed a Penta driver for a near fall. He

<v Speaker 1>went to the top, Laparka, They'll cut him off, brought

<v Speaker 1>him down with an avalanche Spanish fly for near fall

<v Speaker 1>of his own. Laparca went for his bone breaker finish. Penta,

<v Speaker 1>though escaped. He snapped the arm back with the sacrifice

<v Speaker 1>arm breaker. Penta hit the Mexican Destroyer and he picked

<v Speaker 1>up the predictable win. Not nearly as good as the

<v Speaker 1>Phoenix Dragon Lee match from earlier in the show, but

<v Speaker 1>a perfectly solid entry here in this tournament, which now

<v Speaker 1>sets up the big match for next week, brother versus Brother,

<v Speaker 1>Ray Phoenix against Penta. After the match, Phoenix came out

<v Speaker 1>on stage as Penta was heading towards the stage. We

<v Speaker 1>had a little stare down between the two brothers, and

<v Speaker 1>then they shook hands and left together. I know that

<v Speaker 1>they saved Penta's match here for second, I'm sure because

<v Speaker 1>he's the bigger star, Like of everybody in this tournament,

<v Speaker 1>he's the biggest star of the bunch. So I understand

<v Speaker 1>that I would have done these matches in reverse order.

<v Speaker 1>I think it was a mistake to do this one last.

<v Speaker 1>I would have done that one first and did the

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lie and Penta match second, because by the time

<v Speaker 1>these two got to the ring, the bell hadn't even

<v Speaker 1>rung yet. You and I already knew the outcome of

<v Speaker 1>this match. There was zero chance that Laparka unless the

<v Speaker 1>referee botched the three count and miscounted. That would be

<v Speaker 1>the only way that Laparka would pin Penta in this match.

<v Speaker 1>At least with the other match. There was some question

<v Speaker 1>as to whether or not they were going to send

<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee or Penta or Ray Phoenix, So why not

<v Speaker 1>do that match second. That's the only change I would

<v Speaker 1>have made. I thought that was a little weird. I

<v Speaker 1>thought maybe there was a reason for it, so I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>all right, let's wait and see what happens when the

<v Speaker 1>match is over. There was no reason for it. There

<v Speaker 1>was no reason for it other than let's make him

<v Speaker 1>wait because pent is the real star here, because you

<v Speaker 1>could have just sent Penta out there to meet him

<v Speaker 1>on stage. But that's the only change I would have made.

<v Speaker 1>I believe this match that we're getting next week between

<v Speaker 1>them is their first singles man in six years. Last

<v Speaker 1>time I think they wrestled each other was on aw

<v Speaker 1>Dynamite in twenty twenty, so it's been a while since

<v Speaker 1>we've seen these two in the ring against each other. Now,

<v Speaker 1>that is going to be taped on Friday, because they're

<v Speaker 1>taping next week's Raw this coming Friday, because SmackDown for

<v Speaker 1>Fridays or as we speak, probably is being taped, so

<v Speaker 1>that match will not air live. Just be aware of that.

<v Speaker 1>The spoilers will will be out. But then on Sunday,

<v Speaker 1>there is a live Triple A show in Edinburgh, Texas.

<v Speaker 1>There's actually two shows that day. First one is a

<v Speaker 1>triple a show streaming on YouTube at noon Eastern and

<v Speaker 1>then three pm is the NXT heat Wave Show. In

<v Speaker 1>the main event of the Triple A show, Phoenix and

<v Speaker 1>pent are teaming up with Dragonly in the main event,

<v Speaker 1>So it's going to be a busy weekend for the

<v Speaker 1>two of them. Deputy Dog says, which laparca is this?

<v Speaker 1>It's not the laparca that Bill Goldberg speared and pinned

<v Speaker 1>on Nitro many years ago. It's not that guy. Falcon

<v Speaker 1>Star says. We get this crowd again on Friday. Great. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>well that's the beauty of post production. They can sweeten

<v Speaker 1>the crowd if they have to. If the crowd sounds

<v Speaker 1>a lot louder on Friday than they did tonight, you'll

<v Speaker 1>know why. In the back, Solo Soka thanked La Knight

<v Speaker 1>for saving him last week. Knight said Solo didn't know

<v Speaker 1>him anything. Just make sure that you know, I don't

<v Speaker 1>end up regretting my decision. And that's what made me

<v Speaker 1>go uh oh, because Knight was smiling. Man, he was

<v Speaker 1>being all buddy buddy with Solo Socoa, which he never

<v Speaker 1>wanted to be. Now he's let his guard down. Now,

<v Speaker 1>the two of them, it's like a buddy cop movie

<v Speaker 1>when they're out there and I'm like, I I really

<v Speaker 1>don't I really hope, I really hope they're not going

<v Speaker 1>to lower the boom on us and have Solo turn

<v Speaker 1>on night. That would be awful. Elsewhere in the back,

<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce was talking to the Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable,

<v Speaker 1>promised him another big opponent in his next title defense,

<v Speaker 1>hopefully they save it for Mexico City. After Pierce left,

<v Speaker 1>Ethan Page strutted in to congratulate Gable on defeating Raymysterio,

<v Speaker 1>but he claimed that Gable was ducking him while fighting

<v Speaker 1>washed Up has Beens instead. Gable says that Ethan was

<v Speaker 1>on top of the list of guys that he wanted

<v Speaker 1>to give a title match to, but then all that

<v Speaker 1>garbage came spewing out of his mouth and it turned

<v Speaker 1>him off the idea. So now you get no shot.

<v Speaker 1>Good job there, Ethan. You know there's been rumors of

<v Speaker 1>a Ethan Page russev tag team. There could be a

<v Speaker 1>tag team in his future. I don't see that as

<v Speaker 1>being a good thing, just saying that's what the latest

<v Speaker 1>rumor is. They closed the show with La Knight and

<v Speaker 1>Solo Soca as tag team partners against the Usos. They

<v Speaker 1>got heat on Solo until he got a hot tag

<v Speaker 1>to La Knight. Jay went for a SAMO and dropped

<v Speaker 1>Night countered into an inverted DDT. Night came off the

<v Speaker 1>top with a diving elbow for a two count. Jay

<v Speaker 1>went for a dive on Solo Socoa outside, but Solo

<v Speaker 1>caught him, but then Jimmy ended up catching him with

<v Speaker 1>a superkick. Jay's out there with Solo over by the

<v Speaker 1>timekeeper's barricade. Jay's talking shit. He's looking out into the

<v Speaker 1>crowd and you can hear this like a little bit

<v Speaker 1>of a stir. All of a sudden, Royce Keys comes

<v Speaker 1>from out of nowhere and he tackles Jay, Uso and

<v Speaker 1>Solo Socoa spears them through the timekeeper's barricade. I've never

<v Speaker 1>seen that spot before. Holy shit, something new. So through

<v Speaker 1>the barricade they go. Now he had a bandana on

<v Speaker 1>covering his mouth. It was very clear that it was

<v Speaker 1>Royce Keys, as Corey Graves shouted, it's Hobbes. No, wait,

<v Speaker 1>it's Keys. He corrected himself real quick. I'm like, you

<v Speaker 1>know what it is, Hobbes, Just fucking call him Hobbes

<v Speaker 1>because that's who he is. But he wasn't alone because

<v Speaker 1>in the ring were two giant men who also had

<v Speaker 1>their faces obscured by a pair of bandanas. They jumped

<v Speaker 1>La Night and Jimmy Usso in the ring and it

<v Speaker 1>was the team of otm out the mud from NXT

<v Speaker 1>Bronco Nema loocien price. I guess we know why Nima

<v Speaker 1>just got kicked out of Paros del mal In Triple A,

<v Speaker 1>even though he just joined in June. Today's episode is

<v Speaker 1>they're now aligned with Roy's Keys for some reason. I

<v Speaker 1>guess after the Bloodline killed him a few weeks ago,

<v Speaker 1>he felt he needed some backup because nobody else wanted

<v Speaker 1>to help him out, So let me go find some

<v Speaker 1>new friends. The match itself got row. Now there was

<v Speaker 1>no I mean, who gives a shit, but I mean

<v Speaker 1>there was no decision. They never rang the bell or

<v Speaker 1>anything like that. Keys was assaulting Jay and Solo and

<v Speaker 1>La Night hit La Knight in the head with the

<v Speaker 1>steps when Knight was in the ring, and he kind

<v Speaker 1>of poked his head out through the ropes and he

<v Speaker 1>got those stairs smashed right into the side of his

<v Speaker 1>face and then he fell out of the ring. So

<v Speaker 1>he's beaten all these guys up. And yes, some of

<v Speaker 1>these guys were his tag team partners only a few

<v Speaker 1>weeks ago at Summerslim. But that was Summer Slim. This

<v Speaker 1>is now. That was then. This is now. And he

<v Speaker 1>was commanding OTM to pick up Jimmy while Keys was

<v Speaker 1>holding j forcing him to watch, and he told them

<v Speaker 1>put him through the table. They picked up Jimmy usso

<v Speaker 1>by his arms cross style and they just dumped him

<v Speaker 1>right through the announced desk. Well, Keys forced Jay to

<v Speaker 1>watch then murder his brother right in front of his eyes.

<v Speaker 1>So the crowd was very quiet for all of this.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, this was a recurring thing on this show,

<v Speaker 1>but they were very quiet for this. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>they knew what to make of it, or they didn't care.

<v Speaker 1>They probably didn't even know who OTM was, most of them.

<v Speaker 1>I looked at this and I just said, you know,

<v Speaker 1>Keys did nothing wrong here. Royce Keys was viciously attacked

<v Speaker 1>on this show a few weeks ago. Nobody came to

<v Speaker 1>his aid, and he was left beaten and bloodied in

<v Speaker 1>the ring, and so he decided, I got to take

<v Speaker 1>matters into my own hands here. If we have the

<v Speaker 1>bloodline and you have you know, they're running a mock

<v Speaker 1>and doing whatever they want to do, and no one

<v Speaker 1>is going to come to my aid, then I got

<v Speaker 1>to go find somebody who's willing to stand by my side.

<v Speaker 1>It felt, though, to me, like they were being portrayed

<v Speaker 1>as heels. Now we'll get a better sense of that

<v Speaker 1>once we hear from them the first time, and they

<v Speaker 1>cut that first promo, but that's that's certainly how it

<v Speaker 1>came across here. I said at the beginning, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know anymore with the bloodline, because last week clearly clearly heals,

<v Speaker 1>and then this week also heals in the beginning, but

<v Speaker 1>then for the main event, you got Jimmy and Jay

<v Speaker 1>coming through the crowd and they're yeating with the little kids,

<v Speaker 1>and it's like nothing's even changed because nobody, no one

<v Speaker 1>either knows how or is allowed to be truly like

<v Speaker 1>a heel in WWE, right I mean, if Jay Usso

<v Speaker 1>has the the Yeat stuff and he's got merch to

<v Speaker 1>move and so we can't sacrifice that, well, let him

<v Speaker 1>play heel a little bit in some of the segments

<v Speaker 1>on TV, but they're not really fully healed. Nobody in

<v Speaker 1>WWE right now really is. If we're being honest, who

<v Speaker 1>was the closest thing to like a true honest heel.

<v Speaker 1>I would say Roman, But that's not how the fans treatom.

<v Speaker 1>But that's that's just how it is, just how it

<v Speaker 1>is in this company. On the whole, though, I like

<v Speaker 1>the show, I like the contract signing. I like the

<v Speaker 1>Lucha mat more so the Dragon League and Phoenix match,

<v Speaker 1>and I thought the ending here was something different. I

<v Speaker 1>just thought we were gonna get a typical tag team

<v Speaker 1>main event with a blase finish or you know, some drama,

<v Speaker 1>maybe Jacob would come out or something, and it would

<v Speaker 1>have been like, all right, fucking boring whatever. This was

<v Speaker 1>something different. I don't need, you know, gang warfare, where

<v Speaker 1>we have a whole crew of new factions. We had

<v Speaker 1>that years ago, or it was like you had this

<v Speaker 1>group and that group, and this trio and that trio,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to see a flood of that again.

<v Speaker 1>But if they're gonna be on Raw, it adds a

<v Speaker 1>new wrinkle to things. I guess in terms of like this,

<v Speaker 1>you know, faction of warfare, because the Judgment Day is

<v Speaker 1>not really much of a faction anymore. You know, the

<v Speaker 1>Judgment Day has lived Morgan, Raquel, Rodriguez in Roxane Perez,

<v Speaker 1>dom and j D at this point are basically just

<v Speaker 1>a tag team. You know that they're the only men

<v Speaker 1>left in the Judgment Day. No one is afraid of

<v Speaker 1>the Judgment Day. No one is running scared from Dominicqustere

<v Speaker 1>and JD mcdonne. I don't even really count them anymore.

<v Speaker 1>The only real faction on this show is the Bloodline, right,

<v Speaker 1>now you have whatever this trio is going to be.

<v Speaker 1>The question now becomes because he didn't come out here,

<v Speaker 1>how does Jacob Fatu factor into this? Because we know

<v Speaker 1>of the past friendship with Roy's keys. He didn't come

<v Speaker 1>out here, so we don't know how he feels, where

<v Speaker 1>he stands, what that first confrontation is going to look

<v Speaker 1>like between the two of them. They left that open

<v Speaker 1>by not sending Jacob out to the ring, So that

<v Speaker 1>is one question coming out of this. On the whole,

<v Speaker 1>though I enjoyed the show, I've seen worse raws this year,

<v Speaker 1>and I've seen a lot of worse smackdowns. This was

<v Speaker 1>not SmackDown. That might be the best compliment I can

<v Speaker 1>pay this show. Honestly, this wasn't SmackDown. There you go,

<v Speaker 1>that's me being nice. This wasn't SmackDown. Carlito was peak

<v Speaker 1>Judgment Day, so the comedy character in the group was

<v Speaker 1>peak Judgment Day. Royce ain't blood. He had blood coming

<v Speaker 1>out of him a few weeks ago. That's how we

<v Speaker 1>ended up here. Next week on Raw where Cael Rodriguez

<v Speaker 1>and Soul Ruka for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, Penta and

<v Speaker 1>Ray Phoenix in the Finals to find out who loses

<v Speaker 1>to Roman Reigns in Mexico City next month, and speaking

<v Speaker 1>of which, the Tribal Chief returns yet again. That's all

<v Speaker 1>coming up on Raw next week. Also, Stephanie Vicaire is

<v Speaker 1>getting her rematch with Live Morgan in two weeks, so

<v Speaker 1>that will be the next time they're Live. I think

<v Speaker 1>they're in Alabama. I hear they love Stephanie Vacaire in Alabama.

<v Speaker 1>I think they like Stephanie all over the place. That

<v Speaker 1>is when she is going to get her rematch with

<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan, which answers the question I was talking about

<v Speaker 1>this a few weeks ago. Are they going to go

<v Speaker 1>right into it like a triple three ratt with Stephanie

<v Speaker 1>Becky in Live or do we get individual title matches first?

<v Speaker 1>I figured Stephanie would get her match first because she

<v Speaker 1>never got her rematch coming out of Wrestlemdia, so she's

<v Speaker 1>gonna get her match first. Maybe Becky gets an individual

<v Speaker 1>match before we eventually get a three way if we

<v Speaker 1>get one, I don't know. But at least Live Morgan

<v Speaker 1>is defending her championship. That's all that matters. A rare

<v Speaker 1>women's title defense by Liv Morgan and we don't have

<v Speaker 1>to wait another one hundred days to see it progress.

<v Speaker 1>For those of you wondering what is this taping schedule,

<v Speaker 1>here's the taping schedule. This Friday, SmackDown will air. It

<v Speaker 1>will be the SmackDown that they are taping right now

<v Speaker 1>tonight that will air on Friday. On Friday, they're doing

<v Speaker 1>a double taping of Raw for next Monday and SmackDown

<v Speaker 1>for the following Friday, and then they'll be all taped

<v Speaker 1>up and the next time they're live will Beeptember seventh.

<v Speaker 1>That'll be for Raw and then SmackDown That Friday is

<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven. That will be in Mexico City. So

<v Speaker 1>I think that smacked Down and then Triple Manian Knight?

<v Speaker 1>Uh is it night too? And then that Monday raws

<v Speaker 1>in Mexico City. So that is the way the schedule

<v Speaker 1>is looking so far. There you go, let's take a

<v Speaker 1>look at your chance, answer your questions, hang out for

<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Help me Infman. In eight months this year,

<v Speaker 1>how many times did Roman return? Too many times? Not

<v Speaker 1>enough fingers on both hands to count how many times

<v Speaker 1>Roman reigns has returned? Yes, Raw is not live. Why

<v Speaker 1>are people saying raz live next week, Raw is not live.

<v Speaker 1>Next week, Raw is taped raw. I said, Roz live

<v Speaker 1>in Alabama in two weeks, September seven, that's after Labor Day.

<v Speaker 1>Because they got a hectic travel schedule. They got a

<v Speaker 1>Mexican tour coming up in September, and I guess they

<v Speaker 1>just wanted to give them some days off. Joseph Stewart,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think Joseph is going to be in Mexico City,

<v Speaker 1>but hopefully he'll be with us. Happy Monday to you,

<v Speaker 1>Joseph says, remembering bray Wyatt today. Yes, it's been three years,

<v Speaker 1>you can believe it. Also, Joseph with the four ninety nine,

<v Speaker 1>was Paul Bear supposed to be what Alfred was to Batman,

<v Speaker 1>But as as a manager to the Undertaker, I don't

<v Speaker 1>think when they conceived of that gimmick they had Batman

<v Speaker 1>on the brain. I guess you could argue, kind of

<v Speaker 1>in a way, he's like Undertaker's Alfred, but no, I

<v Speaker 1>don't believe that had anything to do with that. What

<v Speaker 1>was the backstory to the Undertaker character? I want to

<v Speaker 1>use that backstory as inspiration from my story in comic.

<v Speaker 1>The backstory for the Undertaker. Let me just go back

<v Speaker 1>to the cane days. You know, he was a little

<v Speaker 1>brat kid who burned his parents' funeral home. Now he

<v Speaker 1>was a menace to society. He was a very part

<v Speaker 1>He was a problem child. What would Macho Man Randy

<v Speaker 1>Savage's career have been like if Missy Hyatt was his

<v Speaker 1>manager as well as her career? Yeah, so I talked

<v Speaker 1>about that in my Dark Side of the Ring review.

<v Speaker 1>There was a pitch or a proposal for Missy Hyatt

<v Speaker 1>to be brought in in eighty five as the manager

<v Speaker 1>of the Mancho Man Randy Savage. He wanted it to

<v Speaker 1>be Liz, who was his real life wife. They went

<v Speaker 1>with Elizabeth. I'm glad things worked out the way they did.

<v Speaker 1>What would that have look like? Though? I think it

<v Speaker 1>could have worked, I don't think it would have been

<v Speaker 1>It would not have been as long lasting as what

<v Speaker 1>we got with with Liz and Macho, and I don't

<v Speaker 1>think the dynamic would have worked as well. I think

<v Speaker 1>it could have worked. I just don't think it would

<v Speaker 1>have worked as well. Uh. Do you remember the wrestler

<v Speaker 1>Robert Swenson, If that's Jeep Swenson that you're referring to,

<v Speaker 1>I do remember him. I know he died many years ago.

<v Speaker 1>He did play Bane, that is correct. Joseph with the

<v Speaker 1>nine to ninety nine says, how different would the sopranos

<v Speaker 1>be if chas Paul Minterterry had played Tony Soprano. He's

<v Speaker 1>a great actor. I can't sit here and tell you

<v Speaker 1>that it would have been a failure. But there's only

<v Speaker 1>one Tony Soprano. I'm sorry. It would not have worked

<v Speaker 1>as well with anybody else. It had to be him.

<v Speaker 1>Sometimes there are just people who just feel like they're

<v Speaker 1>destined for a part, and that's how I feel about

<v Speaker 1>Gandalfeini in that role. He also read that Joel Schumacher

<v Speaker 1>wanted Hulk Hogan for the roles of mister Freeze and

<v Speaker 1>Baine or Baine and Batman and Robin. Which role would

<v Speaker 1>he have been good in? Neither He's not a great

<v Speaker 1>actor or he wasn't a great actor, although I did

<v Speaker 1>enjoy him in Suburban Commando, but him as him as

<v Speaker 1>Bane would not have worked. If I had to choose

<v Speaker 1>between the two, you could have made a Mister Freeze

<v Speaker 1>and it just made it really super cheesy. But I

<v Speaker 1>don't think he would have been appropriate for either one.

<v Speaker 1>Of those roles we got Emma Howdy sol a monster.

<v Speaker 1>It's already been three years since Bray Wyatt has been gone.

<v Speaker 1>What is your favorite Bray or Fiend match? Personally, mine

<v Speaker 1>has always been the Firefly Funhouse match, sending some love

<v Speaker 1>your way, thank you, Emma. I don't have a favorite

<v Speaker 1>Fiend match. My favorite Bray match would probably be the

<v Speaker 1>match he had with Daniel Bryant at the Royal Rumble

<v Speaker 1>in twenty fourteen. It was a great match overall match,

<v Speaker 1>I might if we're counting beyond just singles matches, I

<v Speaker 1>would have to go that first Shield Whitett Family match

<v Speaker 1>at Elimination Chamber, which came the month after this actually

<v Speaker 1>came on back to back pay per views, So take

<v Speaker 1>your pick from either of those two. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>you can go wrong with either one. Bray was also

<v Speaker 1>part of what I remember being an excellent Elimination Chamber

<v Speaker 1>match in twenty seventeen. That was the one where he

<v Speaker 1>won the WWE Championship. That was a great Chamber match.

<v Speaker 1>I think that was the first Chamber match where they

<v Speaker 1>debuted the padding because it used to be the metal

<v Speaker 1>grate and the wrestlers would just kill themselves on it,

<v Speaker 1>and so they debuted the padding and it's like, all right,

<v Speaker 1>well now it's not as it's not as evil of

<v Speaker 1>a structure, but you know what, if it prevents them

<v Speaker 1>from getting fucking hurt and injured, I think I could

<v Speaker 1>live with it. Meanwhile, it ended up being an excellent

<v Speaker 1>match anyway. We got Matthew Speranza with a four ninety nine.

<v Speaker 1>Can we get a this is your warning shot in it, Bruv,

<v Speaker 1>and you're will Ospreyvo. I can't. I can't do that.

<v Speaker 1>I can do Bruv. Anything else is just gonna sound silly.

<v Speaker 1>The best I could do for you, Bruv. Bruv may

<v Speaker 1>be the new champion. Bruv is going to be the

<v Speaker 1>new champion after Sunday. No warning shot needed, Bruv. Jerry

<v Speaker 1>Edwards in Tokyo, Japan on vacation. Just came back from

<v Speaker 1>Bangkok celebrating my thirty third birthday. It's been an awesome year.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you for the streams and the podcast. So he's

<v Speaker 1>in Tokyo right now. He's like on a world tory.

<v Speaker 1>Just came back from Bangkok. Yeah, Tokyo's on my bucket

<v Speaker 1>list at some point or just Japan in general, not

<v Speaker 1>just Tokyo. I just hate I hate long flights like that,

<v Speaker 1>so I'm unwilling to do that. That's the only thing

<v Speaker 1>stopping me a fucking fifteen hour flight. Well, I appreciate

<v Speaker 1>the kind words, and I hope you're enjoying your vacation

<v Speaker 1>and having a very happy birthday. It sounds like you

<v Speaker 1>are death side from Armageddon. Two thousand and two until

<v Speaker 1>his retirement, Shawn Michaels went oh for sixteen in world

<v Speaker 1>title matches. If Kevin Owens loses four more, he will

<v Speaker 1>officially break Hbka's record. And w loves breaking records. Oh

<v Speaker 1>they do. They love their records. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>he's going to give that many more opportunities, honestly to

<v Speaker 1>be WWE champion. Prince Vegeta says, what's your thoughts on

<v Speaker 1>Bob Holly? In my opinion, he's underrated. I'm surprised he

<v Speaker 1>didn't win many championships. I would have given him the

<v Speaker 1>ECW title beating RVD and then him being the one

<v Speaker 1>to drop it to Bobby Lashley. I think he's a

<v Speaker 1>good wrestler, and I enjoyed the hardcore Holly stuff, especially

<v Speaker 1>when he was doing the matches in the twenty four

<v Speaker 1>to seven portion of the hardcore division during that period,

<v Speaker 1>and the stuff he did with Crash right the super Heavyweights.

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed that he was a tag team champion, right

<v Speaker 1>hardcore champion. I vaguely recall him winning the Intercontinental title

<v Speaker 1>from Jeff Jarrett. Maybe it was many years ago, but

<v Speaker 1>then it got overruled or overturned or something, so it

<v Speaker 1>doesn't count if you ever want to go back in

<v Speaker 1>the archives. I have a great interview that I did

<v Speaker 1>with Bob many years ago after his book came out.

<v Speaker 1>It's on the channel, well over an hour long. We

<v Speaker 1>get into a lot of topics. I want to say

<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen. Maybe it's from could have been earlier than that, though,

<v Speaker 1>Death Syth in the twenty twenty four King of the

<v Speaker 1>Rings semi finals. We could have had Gunther and Ilia

<v Speaker 1>Dragon of but I guess it was more important to

<v Speaker 1>do another Gunther and jay Usso match. Oh yeah, sure

<v Speaker 1>was Death Syth. At WrestleMania of forty two. We could

<v Speaker 1>have had Gunther Ilia, but I guess it was more

<v Speaker 1>important to do Seth and gun Through because WrestleMania forty

<v Speaker 1>two would have sank faster than the Titanic. If Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins didn't have a match on the card, well, I

<v Speaker 1>mean Rollins got hurt, and I always said that if

<v Speaker 1>Rollins was medically cleared in time like that was always

<v Speaker 1>going to be his goal, right, was to get back

<v Speaker 1>in time to do Mania. They're not going to leave

<v Speaker 1>him off that Mania card. If he worked his ass

<v Speaker 1>off to get cleared and healthy enough to be at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>for them to turn around and be like, yeah, we

<v Speaker 1>don't have a match for you, he would not have

<v Speaker 1>been very happy about that. And I don't think that

<v Speaker 1>they wanted to leave him off the card if he

<v Speaker 1>was healthy enough to actually have a match on the card,

<v Speaker 1>because he is one of their top names that they have,

<v Speaker 1>and if they have access to him, then why not

<v Speaker 1>use him. I'm sure that's the attitude. It's not like

<v Speaker 1>Dragonov was doing anything at the time anyway, he was

<v Speaker 1>already basically written off. Think they're going to give him

<v Speaker 1>a spot over a healthy Seth Rollins. Prince Baga says,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not a big fan of Stephanie in the main event,

<v Speaker 1>not that she isn't talented, but she had no struggle

<v Speaker 1>to get there. Creative is like, look at the Devil's

<v Speaker 1>kiss move, Let's give her the women's They're not giving

<v Speaker 1>her the women's title. You think she's winning the championship

<v Speaker 1>back in two weeks. She's not winning the title. Dude,

<v Speaker 1>they're not changing the title. On September seventh, death Sithe

<v Speaker 1>I finally watched Obsession and the way they shot lighting

<v Speaker 1>in some of the scenes reminded me of the French

<v Speaker 1>horror film Inside, which had a lot of blood. I

<v Speaker 1>think the way that they lit some of those scenes

<v Speaker 1>was brilliant. She's like always in the dark, not always,

<v Speaker 1>but like a lot. In so many of those scenes,

<v Speaker 1>she's in the dark, like you can kind of make

<v Speaker 1>out her face, but like barely, and it just made

<v Speaker 1>it creepier. Bossmo Jackson solid show tonight and a debut

<v Speaker 1>from NXT. Yeah, there'll be two of them soon because

<v Speaker 1>Lola is on her way. Lola Lola, Bob Holly versus

<v Speaker 1>RVD was great? Was that the match where Bob got

<v Speaker 1>his back sliced open by that table? That's a deep cut.

<v Speaker 1>Doni Yasu, what's the phone song that you play at

<v Speaker 1>the start of the stream. Well, Donnie, you're in luck

<v Speaker 1>because if you go into the description, I always have

<v Speaker 1>it listed on the bottom of the description so you

<v Speaker 1>could find the full title and credit down below. It's

<v Speaker 1>a great tune. Shout out to the New Arcades. They

<v Speaker 1>reached out some nice comments because a lot of you

<v Speaker 1>have left love for them on their channel under the song,

<v Speaker 1>and I appreciate that and I know they do too,

<v Speaker 1>Nick Grosso. According to The Wrestling Observer, talents like Bailey Carmelo, Hayes,

<v Speaker 1>Damian Priest, and Johnny Gargano were rumored to potentially be

<v Speaker 1>getting the budget cut treatment. Do you think there's any

<v Speaker 1>truth to this? I have not read that from anywhere.

<v Speaker 1>Is that is that something that's breaking tonight? Because I

<v Speaker 1>don't believe that that was ever reported by The Wrestling Observer.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, you write that out and it makes it

<v Speaker 1>sound like their names are specifically being mentioned, and so

<v Speaker 1>many times it ends up being a case where Meltzer

<v Speaker 1>is on his radio show or something and speculating giving

<v Speaker 1>an opinion, and then these websites run with it as

<v Speaker 1>if it's actual news. A lot of those names have

<v Speaker 1>been bandied about by fans on social media, speculated on

<v Speaker 1>I've seen no hard reporting to suggest that any of

<v Speaker 1>them are about to be cut. Barry MK says, what

<v Speaker 1>if Laparka did beat Penta, but after the match he

<v Speaker 1>unmasks to show that it was Dom the whole time.

<v Speaker 1>Now he would be in the tournament, yes, and then

<v Speaker 1>we would have Dom in the finals of the tournament,

<v Speaker 1>which would be fucking awful. Would have been a slick

<v Speaker 1>idea though. Actually that's something La Night should have done.

<v Speaker 1>I said the l in La Knight stands for Luca.

<v Speaker 1>Not a bad idea, but unfortunately the outcome would have

<v Speaker 1>been would have been bad. So I'm glad they didn't

<v Speaker 1>do it. Bossbo Jackson. Hopefully Keys get some momentum going now. Eh. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. He didn't have a lot of momentum before.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's going to suddenly change just

<v Speaker 1>because he's got some some backup with him. But look,

<v Speaker 1>they're trying. You know, he was at a big main

<v Speaker 1>event Angle tonight. They gave him a new group. It's

<v Speaker 1>not like they're not trying to make something happen. It's

<v Speaker 1>more than I can say for Ricky Starks right now,

<v Speaker 1>or Ricky Saints the working Man with a five gun.

<v Speaker 1>There is a heel he says, come on, Nothing he

<v Speaker 1>does makes his character likable. He understands the assignment. In

<v Speaker 1>my opinion, now people think he's a cool heel, especially

<v Speaker 1>that line on Cardona on SmackDown last week. I guess

<v Speaker 1>you could say he's the closest thing to a true

<v Speaker 1>heel in WWE. But I just don't see there being

<v Speaker 1>any really big true heels at the moment in this company.

<v Speaker 1>I really don't he would be the closest one, though,

<v Speaker 1>I guess the ufman again, thank you for the five

<v Speaker 1>he says in eight months of this year, how many

<v Speaker 1>times did Roman return? The answer is yes and death

<v Speaker 1>side Chuck Norris doesn't sleep, He waits, and Roman reigns,

<v Speaker 1>doesn't come. He returned. Boy, that sounded wrong. That's what

<v Speaker 1>he said though, just reading what he said, the working Man, Hogan,

<v Speaker 1>Thunder and Paradise is a guilty pleasure of mine. People

<v Speaker 1>forget Jack Lemon's son is his co I haven't forgotten.

<v Speaker 1>Who are these people? Don't lump me in with those people.

<v Speaker 1>I remember very well Chris Lemon, he was his co star.

<v Speaker 1>And who was the woman? Wasn't Carol Alt? Was it?

<v Speaker 1>Was it Carol Alt? Yeah? Them and Hogan. Those are

<v Speaker 1>the main stars on that show. I remember the first

<v Speaker 1>of all two things about that. So if you remember

<v Speaker 1>the intro to Thunder and Paradise that showed the boat

<v Speaker 1>on the water, that's a toy. That's like a little

<v Speaker 1>tiny toy, but they filmed it in a way where

<v Speaker 1>it looks like a big boat. That's number one. Number two.

<v Speaker 1>I remember that song being a guilty pleasure of mine.

<v Speaker 1>It was like, I don't know, it had like a

<v Speaker 1>like a Jamaican flavor to it, if that makes sense.

<v Speaker 1>Asa Taliano eighty eight. I don't think Jacob Fought Too

<v Speaker 1>is long for the Bloodline. I think he leaves sooner

<v Speaker 1>rather than later and joins Solo and Knight, and we

<v Speaker 1>get them against the Bloodline against Keys and OTM three

<v Speaker 1>way feud. Maybe we get a three way war games

<v Speaker 1>that Survivor series and it's three on three on three,

<v Speaker 1>which they did previously many years ago in NXT. Could

<v Speaker 1>be Death Side. If Mankind is the Joker to Undertakers Batman,

<v Speaker 1>then Batista is the Bane to undertakers Batman, because Batista

<v Speaker 1>did not fear the dead Man. A lot of Batman

<v Speaker 1>influence I see in WWE. The that's number one fans is,

<v Speaker 1>how would kurtz run and ECW have looked like? I

<v Speaker 1>think he would have had some great matches against guys

<v Speaker 1>like TAZ and RVD and Jerry Lynn, but it would

<v Speaker 1>have been brief Wwe would have snatched him up pretty

<v Speaker 1>quick and Marshall with a nine ninety nine. Thank you Marshall. Hi, solo,

<v Speaker 1>what do you think about Peacock and ESPN raising their

<v Speaker 1>prices again? What do I think? I think, fuck Peacock

<v Speaker 1>and fuck ESPN. That's what I think. Can't be any

<v Speaker 1>any clearer than that. Thankfully, most people I think who

<v Speaker 1>have access to ESPN Limited have it for free and

<v Speaker 1>probably don't have to pay for it. But yeah, fuck

<v Speaker 1>those guys. All right. So the goal was three point

<v Speaker 1>fifty on the likes ind and we blew past that.

<v Speaker 1>So we got be the Booker coming our way. I

<v Speaker 1>think we're a out of ten on the bonus goal.

<v Speaker 1>We're only two away from a potential second round. We'll

<v Speaker 1>see if we get there. But right now, let's commence

<v Speaker 1>the first round of Be the Booker. Here we go.

<v Speaker 1>Are you ready? I'm ready? I know you're ready. The

<v Speaker 1>Booker mind the gap says Unfortunately, Crystal Lake is on Peacock.

<v Speaker 1>That's right, that starts in October, right, Well, there's always

<v Speaker 1>otherwise anyway, be a booker. Here we go, Here we go.

<v Speaker 1>We have Top Flight Darius and Dante Martin still looking

<v Speaker 1>for those first tag team titles. They will be stepping

<v Speaker 1>into the ring and losing, I say, losing to the

<v Speaker 1>Mega Maniac Hulk Hogan and Brutus the Barber Beefcake. And

<v Speaker 1>you know, damn well, that's the kind of match that

<v Speaker 1>they would have thrown on like Superstars or Wrestling Challenge

<v Speaker 1>as a warm up match for these two guys en

<v Speaker 1>route to whatever their pay per view match was going

<v Speaker 1>to be. It's the jobber match, is what I'm trying

<v Speaker 1>to say. That's what that would have been booked as

<v Speaker 1>Top Flight would have taken flight. They'd be bouncing all

<v Speaker 1>over the ring for Hogan and then they'd be doing

<v Speaker 1>the job at the very end. I love hearing that

<v Speaker 1>fart noise for Hogan. It's not a fart, a buzzer.

<v Speaker 1>How does that sound like a that's if that sounds

<v Speaker 1>like a fart to you, I want to know what

<v Speaker 1>you ate for dinner. All right, Women's be the booker.

<v Speaker 1>We have lay. When was the last time Candace Larray

<v Speaker 1>wrestled the match? No cheating off the top of your head.

<v Speaker 1>I want answers in the chat. When was the last

<v Speaker 1>time Candace Lray had a match? Ten seconds? You got

<v Speaker 1>you tell me that. The answer is be the booker tonight.

<v Speaker 1>I'm doing with wwe is afraid to do. I'm giving

<v Speaker 1>her a match, and I'm giving her a match against

<v Speaker 1>the Ring of Honor forever Women's Champion over thirteen hundred

<v Speaker 1>days and counting for Athena, who had an asthma attack

<v Speaker 1>in the middle of her match with Hazuki the other

<v Speaker 1>night on the Death Before Dishonor pay per view, and

<v Speaker 1>took care of it. I assumed there was a rescue

<v Speaker 1>in Hayler for her ringside, and she just kept going

<v Speaker 1>and she won again. Didn't stop her. Athena and Candace

<v Speaker 1>Larray would be a good match. They let Candae actually

<v Speaker 1>go out there and work a real match. And our

<v Speaker 1>main events, it looks like what will be the main

<v Speaker 1>events of the evening, so we have to make it

<v Speaker 1>a good one. Oh man, Bad Bunny is in the

<v Speaker 1>main event. Oh man, what a match? What a match?

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Nash, wolf Pack, Kevin Nash, Big Sexy Kevin Nash

<v Speaker 1>one on one with Bad Bunny, who leads this match?

<v Speaker 1>It has to be now right, But I mean Nash

<v Speaker 1>has to be the general of the of this match,

<v Speaker 1>of all the people who put Bad Bunny in the

<v Speaker 1>ring with though. Oh people, Okay, people think it's worth

<v Speaker 1>a bell, Okay, all right, I'm surprised. I'm surprised that

<v Speaker 1>many people wanted to bell this one. I guess they're

<v Speaker 1>they're intrigued by this who interferes in this match and

<v Speaker 1>helps Bad Bunny win? Isa? I think Isa will interfere

<v Speaker 1>and help Bad Bunny win, if you know, you know?

<v Speaker 1>And the final super chat here from the Pats Number

<v Speaker 1>one fan would three hour. No, I'll finish, I'll finish

<v Speaker 1>it anyway. We would three hour attitude eras have worked. No. No,

<v Speaker 1>I've said it before, I'll say it again. There is

<v Speaker 1>no wrestling show. I don't care what promotion it is.

<v Speaker 1>I don't care how good or bad you think their

<v Speaker 1>television is. There is zero need for a three hour

<v Speaker 1>weekly wrestling television show. None. We get two and a

<v Speaker 1>half hours of run and it usually doesn't even go

<v Speaker 1>the full two and a half hours. We're being honest,

<v Speaker 1>but we get two and a half hour raws and

<v Speaker 1>I can tolerate that, but there's something about that extra

<v Speaker 1>half hour every week, like every now and then, is

<v Speaker 1>one thing we're talking every single week. No, the answer

<v Speaker 1>is no. The answer is no. If it's a bad show,

<v Speaker 1>I certainly don't want three hours of it, And if

<v Speaker 1>it's a great show, I'd rather they keep it tight

<v Speaker 1>and leave me wanting more for the following week. Did

<v Speaker 1>Bonesaw kill the business? It's losing to Spider Man. I

<v Speaker 1>think the business died long before that. Also, how did

<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Football do during the Monday Night wars? I mean,

<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Football still did well, but they were getting

<v Speaker 1>they were getting hurt, they were getting hurt. There was

<v Speaker 1>a rumor. I don't wish I knew the accuracy of this,

<v Speaker 1>but there was a rumor during that period that there

<v Speaker 1>were conversations had where they were trying to get WWE

<v Speaker 1>or WWF specifically to move RAW to another night like Tuesday,

<v Speaker 1>so that they wouldn't have to compete with wrestling. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know how accurate that is, but you know, Monday

<v Speaker 1>night Football still had a huge audience, but You got

<v Speaker 1>to remember at the peak of the Monday Night War

<v Speaker 1>period Ron Nitro on cable in what was a much

<v Speaker 1>smaller cable universe. Back then, Raw Nitro were combining at

<v Speaker 1>their peaks for up to eleven million viewers a week

<v Speaker 1>between the two shows. Eleven million. Think about that. That's crazy. Uh.

<v Speaker 1>Navy forty one eighty one a retro? What an asshole?

<v Speaker 1>It's my niece. My solemn monster quote of twenty twenty

<v Speaker 1>six Keep it tight and leave me wanting more. Yeah, hey,

<v Speaker 1>that's good advice to live by. Keep it tightly, leave

<v Speaker 1>me wanting more. Navy forty one eighty one. That big

<v Speaker 1>cast theme sounds like a lame Diesel copy. I actually

<v Speaker 1>think it's a very shitty theme song, as most of

<v Speaker 1>the theme songs are these days. It's not good. Oddly enough,

<v Speaker 1>I was putting over of all fucking if you watch

<v Speaker 1>my SmackDown review from Friday, I have since downloaded it

<v Speaker 1>to my Spotify playlist. Believe it or not, I was

<v Speaker 1>putting over the MFTs theme, which I think was Talatanga's

<v Speaker 1>singles theme, but how often did we see him wrestling

<v Speaker 1>singles matches? So now they've adopted it as the MFTs

<v Speaker 1>tag team theme. It's just like an instrumental. It's pretty basic,

<v Speaker 1>but I like it. I really like it. It's a

<v Speaker 1>rare w for deaf Rebel. One of the few times

<v Speaker 1>I'll ever say that B Money four with thirty eight

<v Speaker 1>months of channel membership, if HBK doesn't get hurt in

<v Speaker 1>ninety eight, does he still stay in DX and feud

<v Speaker 1>with Austin over the title in a line with Vince

<v Speaker 1>McMahon like Dude Love did or No? No, I don't

<v Speaker 1>think he does. I mean, does he stay with DX? Probably?

<v Speaker 1>Does he align with Vince and take the dude love spot? No,

<v Speaker 1>I don't think he does. Hey, Alexander, I imagine if

<v Speaker 1>Big Cast comes out to the Iron Sheik's theme, why

<v Speaker 1>would he do that? Only if he has those giant

<v Speaker 1>clubs that Chik used to come out with at the

<v Speaker 1>What were they called? I forgot what they were called.

<v Speaker 1>But and Randy Bobandy look at this guy, Oh my goodness,

<v Speaker 1>Randy Bobandy dropped a double nine ninety nine to get

<v Speaker 1>us to the goal, which just unlocked a second round

<v Speaker 1>of Be the Booker. We were right on the edge

<v Speaker 1>and I didn't think it would happen. And of the

<v Speaker 1>Persian waights, thank you. Yes, the Persian weights, the Persian clubs,

<v Speaker 1>the Persian clubs. That could be cast as new gimmick.

<v Speaker 1>Imagine a seven foot guy coming out with these giant

<v Speaker 1>Persian clubs just wildly swinging them around. That'd be pretty scary,

<v Speaker 1>all right. So we have turn all these noises off.

<v Speaker 1>Here are they all off? I think they're all off?

<v Speaker 1>Let's see? Oh good, all right, round number two we

<v Speaker 1>get one more of these, and this time we get

<v Speaker 1>to pick some stipulations, which always changes the game. Here,

<v Speaker 1>make things a little more interesting. Our first match. Ah,

<v Speaker 1>look who it is who just asked me about this?

<v Speaker 1>We literally just got a question about this, and I

<v Speaker 1>mentioned liking his time in the hardcore division. And there

<v Speaker 1>he is on our screen, Bob Holly, hardcore Holly in

<v Speaker 1>this image fighting with Al Snow in the Mississippi River.

<v Speaker 1>I want to say this was No Way Out ninety nine.

<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, I'm sorry, not no Way out Saint

<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day massacre, February of ninety nine. Pretty sure that's

<v Speaker 1>where this match took place. So we got ourselves a

<v Speaker 1>false count anywhere match, all right? That makes things kind

<v Speaker 1>of interesting falls count anywhere tag team match. Notice I

<v Speaker 1>didn't say false count anywhere in the building. I said

<v Speaker 1>false count anywhere. They can fight into the street. Sean

<v Speaker 1>Michaels and Triple H D Generation X and their opponents

<v Speaker 1>in this false count anywhere match are the Quebecers Jacques

<v Speaker 1>and Pierre. They're going to fight out in to the street.

<v Speaker 1>They should do this match in Canada. They were they

<v Speaker 1>in Ottawa tonight. Should have a false count anywhere in

<v Speaker 1>Ottawa match, fight out into the cold, fucking snow all

<v Speaker 1>over the ground. I mean, I guess maybe in Ottawa

<v Speaker 1>it's not snowing now, but you know what I mean.

<v Speaker 1>Remember when I went to Montreal many years ago, I

<v Speaker 1>went for New Year, so it was freezing out and

<v Speaker 1>they had this thing where they were I wish I

<v Speaker 1>knew what they were called. They gave us it was

<v Speaker 1>some sort of stick and then you rolled it in. Honey. God,

<v Speaker 1>I took a video of it. I forgot what they're called,

<v Speaker 1>and then it like instantly froze really really good. The Canadians, man,

<v Speaker 1>they know, they know they got some good shit up there.

<v Speaker 1>They're bacon, top notch, great bacon. Right our second match

<v Speaker 1>what's the end game, says Prince Pounte. Oh Poutine, the

<v Speaker 1>hell's that? I thought this is something very different. Oh, anyway,

<v Speaker 1>we have tribal combat. Look at this. There he is

<v Speaker 1>the tribal chief returns. Another return for the tribal chief.

<v Speaker 1>We're we're getting tribal combat, guys, which means we gotta

<v Speaker 1>go with the men here for this next match. So

<v Speaker 1>whoever wins this match is going to receive the Ulafalla.

<v Speaker 1>That's what's on the line here in this match, tribal

<v Speaker 1>pride and the Ulafalla. Who is getting the ula Falla?

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, cm punk cm punk might get the

<v Speaker 1>ula Falla. It would be sacrilege cmpunk against seth Rawlins

<v Speaker 1>in tribal combat. The more things change, the more they

<v Speaker 1>stay the same. We're still in the Roman Reigns vortex

<v Speaker 1>and we have seth Rolins against cm punk. Be the

<v Speaker 1>booker is getting lazy falling back on the same storylines.

<v Speaker 1>We might have to oust be the booker from the

<v Speaker 1>writer's room, Like we haven't seen this shit before. Well,

<v Speaker 1>who gets the Ulafalla? I think it'd be kind of

<v Speaker 1>funny if cmpunk got it. For the future of the business, Yes,

<v Speaker 1>the future of the business rides on this match at

<v Speaker 1>our main event, a boiler room brawl. Oh is that

<v Speaker 1>a soft spot for this? I think there have only

<v Speaker 1>been two of them in WWE history. Undertaker in Mankind,

<v Speaker 1>Mankind in the Big Show. Those are the only two

<v Speaker 1>I can remember. Those are the only two that match. Actually,

<v Speaker 1>I can barely remember the second one I think was

<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown. This is the only one as far as

<v Speaker 1>I'm concerned. So, the way this match works is they

<v Speaker 1>start in the boiler room and they have to fight

<v Speaker 1>their way out of the boiler room through the backstage

<v Speaker 1>area out to the ring to collect the urn. Paul

<v Speaker 1>Bher will have the urn in the ring, and the

<v Speaker 1>first person to grab the urn and take possession of

<v Speaker 1>it will win the match. That's how this works. Be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker has been repossessed. Oh my goodness, it is

<v Speaker 1>the man. You'll notice I'm not playing the the loser jingle.

<v Speaker 1>And the reason is we are shielded from this when

<v Speaker 1>it is the bonus round. Now, if it was the

<v Speaker 1>regular round, this would be over during the bonus round, though,

<v Speaker 1>we have repomen protection. So the good news is we

<v Speaker 1>get to keep spinning. Still a boiler room brawl. It

<v Speaker 1>is still a boiler room brawl. We soldier on here.

<v Speaker 1>Who was the first person I picked? I got so

<v Speaker 1>wrapped up in the Repo man stuff. I forgot the

<v Speaker 1>first person who I landed on. I'm losing my mind.

<v Speaker 1>Remind me again, who is the first person I landed on?

<v Speaker 1>No one knows. No one remembers who the first person

<v Speaker 1>is I landed on. Did I pick somebody before Repo?

<v Speaker 1>I didn't pick anybody? Okay, that's why no one knows

<v Speaker 1>the guy em lose in my mind. Okay, all right, good,

<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna pick Ravishing. Rick Rude is going down

<v Speaker 1>into the boiler room. Everybody those abs, My god, here

<v Speaker 1>we go Ravishing, Rick Rude and Eddie Guerrero in a

<v Speaker 1>boiler room brawl. That's see. I like that. Rick Rude

<v Speaker 1>one of the better wrestlers bell to bell from his era.

<v Speaker 1>Eddie Guerrero obviously one of the best of his era.

<v Speaker 1>You take those two guys in their physical prime, and

<v Speaker 1>you put them in the ring together, and you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>get one hell of a wrestling match in a boiler

<v Speaker 1>room brawl. Though you're gonna get more of a brawl.

<v Speaker 1>I still think it would be a hell of a match.

<v Speaker 1>Even with the stipulation. I still think it would be

<v Speaker 1>a hell of a match. Oh Man, two stars who

<v Speaker 1>are no longer with us, but it wouldn't have been

<v Speaker 1>a hell of a match. Misfit Wrestling Podcast WWE has

<v Speaker 1>a gun to Deaf Rebel's brain for Samoan and Japanese

<v Speaker 1>wrestlers for themes, they do tend to get some of

<v Speaker 1>the better theme songs. I guess Big Cast does not

<v Speaker 1>fit into either of those camps, so he ended up

<v Speaker 1>with an inferior theme. Well, thank you, guys. I'm glad

<v Speaker 1>we ended up doing the double round. Hopefully we can

<v Speaker 1>do well. I mean, we have Wednesday coming up, so

<v Speaker 1>I won't my breath, but you never know. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>every now and then we start popping off on a

<v Speaker 1>Wednesday and we have one of those nights that just

<v Speaker 1>ends up being a big surprise. So the Dynamite post show.

<v Speaker 1>Dynamite is actually in Glasgow, Scotland this week, so I'm

<v Speaker 1>expecting a much rowdier bunch than we had tonight in

<v Speaker 1>Canada for this show. So that's on Wednesday tomorrow though,

<v Speaker 1>will be a brand new episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling

<v Speaker 1>Show that will be dropping later in the day and

<v Speaker 1>then Tomorrow night live on JDS channel for Tuesday Night

<v Speaker 1>Titans Dynamite post show, Wednesday, SmackDown. On Friday we'll have

<v Speaker 1>the SmackDown post show, and then next weekend is all

<v Speaker 1>in London, so there will be a brand new sound

<v Speaker 1>up episode nine seventy eight. God, how many shows have

<v Speaker 1>I done? Nine to seventy eight and then yes, Sunday

<v Speaker 1>is the big AW show of the year, and when

<v Speaker 1>that show is over, I'm thinking, you know, that show's

<v Speaker 1>probably going from one o'clock Easter into about five or

<v Speaker 1>five point thirty and then we'll probably hold off until

<v Speaker 1>maybe eight pm that night and go live. I think

<v Speaker 1>that's a good plane, take a little break in between

<v Speaker 1>the six hours of AW and then we'll have our

<v Speaker 1>big post show reviews. So a busy week and weekend

<v Speaker 1>coming up. Be well, stay safe, have yourselves a great night.

<v Speaker 1>I'll see you guys with the dyn of my post show.

<v Speaker 1>Until then, take care, guys,
