<v Speaker 1>What's going on, guys? It is a Monday night. I
<v Speaker 1>am the Solid Monster, and I thank you for being
<v Speaker 1>with me here on yet another Monday night as we
<v Speaker 1>close out the month of September, the final Raw Review
<v Speaker 1>of the month, a month that I would like to
<v Speaker 1>put in the rear view after the events of the
<v Speaker 1>last 24 hours or so, because this has been a
<v Speaker 1>very depressing day coming off the news that broke very
<v Speaker 1>late in the day yesterday about the death of Pac-
<v Speaker 1>AEW star pack, former WWE star Adrian Neville at the
<v Speaker 1>age of 40. Yesterday afternoon, apparently around 4 o'clock, is
<v Speaker 1>when he was found. And this comes just not even
<v Speaker 1>24 hours after he had just wrestled in the opening
<v Speaker 1>match at the AEW All Out pay-per-view on Saturday. He
<v Speaker 1>was also a part of the main event, some of
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that was going on there. So he was
<v Speaker 1>kind of all over that show. And then I had
<v Speaker 1>done the sound off yesterday and dropped the podcast later
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon. And I would say the news broke
<v Speaker 1>within two or three hours of the sound off going up.
<v Speaker 1>And like many of you, I thought, hoped, you know,
<v Speaker 1>that it was a hack, that it was some sort
<v Speaker 1>of sick joke. It didn't really make any sense to me.
<v Speaker 1>It still doesn't really make any sense to me. And
<v Speaker 1>then I have been Reading all of the messages that
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure many of you have been reading, all the
<v Speaker 1>tweets from just people that knew him and worked with
<v Speaker 1>him and loved him, family, friends, colleagues. Everybody's just come
<v Speaker 1>out with all sorts of stories and messages, which has
<v Speaker 1>been very cool to see. But it's just a very,
<v Speaker 1>it's just a very depressing situation. And I saw the
<v Speaker 1>video that Tony Khan posted earlier. He had posted some
<v Speaker 1>sort of live stream. They had done tapings for Ring
<v Speaker 1>of Honor earlier. And he came out before the crowd
<v Speaker 1>in the studio there where they do the tapings. And
<v Speaker 1>it was heartbreaking watching that video. He could barely keep
<v Speaker 1>his eyes open. He was so distraught, you know, as
<v Speaker 1>he tried to address the audience. And he looked like
<v Speaker 1>he was about to break down into tears. And they
<v Speaker 1>did a 10-bell salute to Pac. And he did mention
<v Speaker 1>that the Dynamite show coming up this Wednesday, as I
<v Speaker 1>think many of us figured, is going to be a
<v Speaker 1>tribute show to PAC. And not something that any of
<v Speaker 1>us wanted to see, but I will say AW unfortunately
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of experience in terms of putting together
<v Speaker 1>these types of shows, and they do a very classy
<v Speaker 1>job with it. It's going to be a very emotional
<v Speaker 1>thing on Wednesday. WWE did acknowledge PAC, not by that
<v Speaker 1>name obviously, but they did acknowledge him with a graphic
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the show tonight. I saw Triple
<v Speaker 1>H had we did something out about him earlier today
<v Speaker 1>as well, because his involvement with that company goes back
<v Speaker 1>to the early black and gold days of NXT. He
<v Speaker 1>was one of those guys that Triple H brought in
<v Speaker 1>and really built around and made him the champion. So
<v Speaker 1>they had that relationship working together very closely, not so
<v Speaker 1>much on the main roster. He was long gone by
<v Speaker 1>the time Triple H ascended to a position of power
<v Speaker 1>on the main roster. But again, I don't really... have
<v Speaker 1>a lot to say as far as what happened because
<v Speaker 1>we still don't know what happened and we may not
<v Speaker 1>know for some time. Um, but it has been a
<v Speaker 1>very sad day, uh, in the wrestling world. I'll have
<v Speaker 1>more to say about pack tomorrow and the uncrowned show.
<v Speaker 1>And then, like I said, we'll, I'm sure be talking
<v Speaker 1>a lot more about him on Wednesday. Uh, and then
<v Speaker 1>I see, as I am preparing here to come on live,
<v Speaker 1>to talk about raw, I see the news that broke, uh,
<v Speaker 1>that Dennis Haskins, uh, who played Mr. Belding, the principal
<v Speaker 1>on saved by the bell, uh, He died today at
<v Speaker 1>the age of 75. And that was very sad. A
<v Speaker 1>little bit different than a 40-year-old man passing away. I
<v Speaker 1>still wouldn't call 75 terribly old. But that news just broke.
<v Speaker 1>And he was a big wrestling fan. So he was
<v Speaker 1>present at a lot of WWE shows and even some
<v Speaker 1>independent shows. I don't know about recently, but certainly many
<v Speaker 1>years ago. I remember him having some kind of role
<v Speaker 1>on one of those old JBL and Cole shows that
<v Speaker 1>JBL and Michael Cole used to do. It might have
<v Speaker 1>been a cameo on one of the shows they did.
<v Speaker 1>And he also had a role on Zack Ryder's old
<v Speaker 1>Z True Long Island story show on YouTube. So he
<v Speaker 1>was a big wrestling fan. And I know at one
<v Speaker 1>point he did mention somewhere that he had had discussions
<v Speaker 1>with WWE about the possibility of some sort of, recurring role,
<v Speaker 1>maybe like an on-air character on the show. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if it would have been a GM or something
<v Speaker 1>like that. Um, but he said that he turned it
<v Speaker 1>down because he didn't want to be on the road
<v Speaker 1>five days a week. You know, he was an actor
<v Speaker 1>first and he, he just didn't want to commit that
<v Speaker 1>sort of time to it. Can you imagine that by
<v Speaker 1>the way, Mr. Belding is the, the raw general manager, uh,
<v Speaker 1>at the very least, he probably would have fit in
<v Speaker 1>well doing a, uh, a guest hosting cameo during the
<v Speaker 1>guest hosting era of this show. So anyway, I just
<v Speaker 1>heard about that a little while ago and was very
<v Speaker 1>sad to hear that. But with that out of the way,
<v Speaker 1>we did have a Raw show tonight to talk about.
<v Speaker 1>And it was a very newsworthy episode of Monday Night Raw.
<v Speaker 1>It was actually an episode of Monday Night Raw that
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed. This was probably the first time I have
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed Raw nearly all the way through in many, many weeks.
<v Speaker 1>And it all culminated with a big angle at the
<v Speaker 1>very end of the night. Something that they had been
<v Speaker 1>building to throughout the show. They had been stringing various
<v Speaker 1>segments together, teasing that the bloodline finally, after weeks, it
<v Speaker 1>has felt like years, was going to run the play.
<v Speaker 1>We've all been waiting for them to run the play
<v Speaker 1>now for a while. I was starting to wonder if
<v Speaker 1>we were ever going to see this play. And tonight
<v Speaker 1>was the night where they were going to face off
<v Speaker 1>with 9-4-6, Royce Keys, Bronco Nemo, Lucian Price. And they
<v Speaker 1>did at the very end of the show. And one
<v Speaker 1>thing that we learned... One of the big takeaways from
<v Speaker 1>tonight's episode of Raw is that Jacob fought to, for
<v Speaker 1>those of us who have been wondering if maybe he
<v Speaker 1>might be in cahoots with Royce Keyes because of their
<v Speaker 1>past friendship, and maybe he'll end up taking a leadership
<v Speaker 1>role in the 9-4-6, and this is his ticket out
<v Speaker 1>of the bloodline and out from under the thumb of
<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns. I think it's pretty clear Jacob Fatu has
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with 9-4-6 and is in fact not
<v Speaker 1>in cahoots with 9-4-6. Because if he was in cahoots
<v Speaker 1>with 9-4-6, they've taken it very far now to try
<v Speaker 1>to throw you off the scent after what they did
<v Speaker 1>tonight here at the end of the show. Because Jacob
<v Speaker 1>Fatu got run down by a car. Not the first
<v Speaker 1>time that somebody has been run down by a car
<v Speaker 1>on a WWE show. And by the way, this is
<v Speaker 1>also now what is it? The third felony, I believe.
<v Speaker 1>to play itself out live on Netflix in the last
<v Speaker 1>few weeks. So I've lost track of all the crimes
<v Speaker 1>that have been committed. But tonight, it was Jada Parker
<v Speaker 1>who was inserted into the angle. Jada Parker from NXT,
<v Speaker 1>who is now officially, it would seem, on Monday Night Raw.
<v Speaker 1>She actually showed up at the beginning of the show
<v Speaker 1>when they thought it was 9-4-6 showing up. And then
<v Speaker 1>she popped out of an SUV. Little did they know
<v Speaker 1>it was technically 9-4-6 showing up. But then we saw
<v Speaker 1>her again at the very end of the show running
<v Speaker 1>down Jacob Fatu with her car. And then very oddly,
<v Speaker 1>she played it off like she didn't mean to. It
<v Speaker 1>was an accident. She didn't see him. Only to then
<v Speaker 1>her whole demeanor changed. And then it was very clear
<v Speaker 1>that this was all just part of the plan. And
<v Speaker 1>she is in fact part of 946. And the final
<v Speaker 1>parting shot that we got on the show tonight was
<v Speaker 1>a slightly bloody Jacob Fatu. Netflix is going to freak
<v Speaker 1>when they see that. I hope you were watching live
<v Speaker 1>because I'm sure in due time when you go back
<v Speaker 1>to watch this replay on Netflix, instead of seeing Jacob
<v Speaker 1>Fatu laying on the ground, you'll see Jacob Fatu's face
<v Speaker 1>all blurred out. But as he was laying on the ground, half,
<v Speaker 1>you know, just half unconscious, basically, Royce Keyes, before he
<v Speaker 1>drives off, he leans out the window, looks down and says,
<v Speaker 1>all gas, no brakes. And off they go. A very
<v Speaker 1>hot angle. Very well done, I will say, whoever took
<v Speaker 1>that bump, whoever the stuntman was who they got to
<v Speaker 1>take that bump, he took a hell of a bump
<v Speaker 1>for that car. It kind of reminded me a little
<v Speaker 1>bit of the bump that Jerry Lawler took. Not exactly,
<v Speaker 1>because Lawler, I mean, his hip took the full brunt
<v Speaker 1>of it. But Lawler took a hellacious bump in an
<v Speaker 1>angle they shot in Memphis on TV many, many years ago.
<v Speaker 1>Very famous angle with Doug and Eddie Gilbert. And it
<v Speaker 1>was like, man, that looked like it fucking sucked. And
<v Speaker 1>in that case, it did. Because they accelerated when they
<v Speaker 1>didn't mean to accelerate. And they really did hit him
<v Speaker 1>with their car. But this looked good. I will say
<v Speaker 1>that at first I was wondering if Rikishi was inside
<v Speaker 1>the car. And then Jada Parker got out and I said,
<v Speaker 1>that ain't no Rikishi. So a hot angle that now...
<v Speaker 1>opens up a lot of questions about... I mean, there
<v Speaker 1>could still be new members that end up in 946,
<v Speaker 1>but just with this new makeup now of the group,
<v Speaker 1>are there new members, right? What is the status of
<v Speaker 1>Solo Sokoa? Solo Sokoa was abducted last week, and he
<v Speaker 1>was dumped somewhere, and they made him walk home. He
<v Speaker 1>was not anywhere to be found tonight. My guess is
<v Speaker 1>with one Raw left before Money in the Bank, we
<v Speaker 1>don't see him again until Money in the Bank on
<v Speaker 1>October 10th. Is there still... Potentially a big swerve coming
<v Speaker 1>only without Jacob Fatu. Maybe it's with Solo Sokoa. The
<v Speaker 1>other thought that I had, and I'm sure many of
<v Speaker 1>you did too, watching them add a new female member
<v Speaker 1>to 946, will the bloodline do the same? And the
<v Speaker 1>name that would pop in my head would be Naomi,
<v Speaker 1>because Naomi obviously has a direct tie-in the Usos and
<v Speaker 1>the bloodline. And Naomi has also been gone for over
<v Speaker 1>a year. So we're kind of in that period now where, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you know what, if she were to pop back up
<v Speaker 1>on TV, it's about that time, right? I mean, we
<v Speaker 1>don't know how, how much longer she may need off,
<v Speaker 1>but it's been over a year. And I think if
<v Speaker 1>Naomi was to pop back up on TV and, it
<v Speaker 1>would feel, okay, this is the right time to do it.
<v Speaker 1>And now there's a story there. Now, part of me
<v Speaker 1>will be, I guess it all depends on how she's
<v Speaker 1>portrayed on TV. She was such a great heel right
<v Speaker 1>at the very end there before she had to take
<v Speaker 1>time off. She had really found her groove as a heel.
<v Speaker 1>And I would hate for her to come back and
<v Speaker 1>not be that same heel. But I do think that
<v Speaker 1>you could have a Naomi comeback, even if she was
<v Speaker 1>in a position to be a baby face, uh, like
<v Speaker 1>this badass babyface coming back to try to even the
<v Speaker 1>odds here, but still portray that same character, more or less.
<v Speaker 1>The Bloodline stuff is still very funny to me, because
<v Speaker 1>I see these reports that pop up. There was one
<v Speaker 1>this past week, and I want to say PW Insider,
<v Speaker 1>but again, wherever it was, it was one of the
<v Speaker 1>main websites, and maybe it was PW Insider, that said, definitively, internally,
<v Speaker 1>the Bloodline is listed as heels. And you watch this
<v Speaker 1>angle at the end of the show, and they certainly
<v Speaker 1>don't come off as the heels. I mean, literally, 946
<v Speaker 1>ran down a man in cold blood, okay? That is
<v Speaker 1>not a babyface faction. So the bloodline, Roman Reigns aside,
<v Speaker 1>the bloodline itself, Jacob and the Usos, seem to be
<v Speaker 1>in the position as now the sympathetic heel, or the
<v Speaker 1>sympathetic babyfaces that you want to see get their revenge
<v Speaker 1>for what happened tonight. So anyway, so that was the
<v Speaker 1>big news coming out of the conclusion of Raw tonight.
<v Speaker 1>We also got some really good wrestling on this show
<v Speaker 1>with some matches that got time. They had time to breathe.
<v Speaker 1>They had time to really, you know, tell whatever story
<v Speaker 1>it was they were looking to tell. We had no
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank qualifying matches. There are two left.
<v Speaker 1>Those will be happening on SmackDown. There was that one
<v Speaker 1>week where we didn't have any Money in the Bank
<v Speaker 1>matches on SmackDown, which I thought was kind of odd.
<v Speaker 1>So now I guess they're, you know, kind of making
<v Speaker 1>up for it. They'll have those matches on Friday. But
<v Speaker 1>we did get two more matches added to the Money
<v Speaker 1>in the Bank card, one of which involves Obafemi, and
<v Speaker 1>another one is going to be for the Women's World Championship.
<v Speaker 1>And we'll talk about what those are here as we
<v Speaker 1>go along. Thank you for being with me. This is
<v Speaker 1>your Monday Night Raw review. It is September 28th, 2026.
<v Speaker 1>I am the Salomonster. Like and subscribe. There was a
<v Speaker 1>video that went up later in the day yesterday because
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to, and it's brief, about 10 minutes
<v Speaker 1>or so. But I did just want to get some
<v Speaker 1>thoughts off my chest. Just wanted to talk about Pac
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. So I did a little video on
<v Speaker 1>him and would love it if you want to drop
<v Speaker 1>a comment in there. A lot of people have been
<v Speaker 1>dropping comments with their own messages and memories and favorite
<v Speaker 1>matches and moments. A lot of good stuff there in
<v Speaker 1>the comments section, so feel free to chime in there
<v Speaker 1>if you would like to do so. It is on
<v Speaker 1>the main page. It's kind of pinned there, so you
<v Speaker 1>can go check that out if you have not already
<v Speaker 1>done so. Some very nice comments about Pac there. And
<v Speaker 1>let's take this wheel for a spin and see what
<v Speaker 1>the likes goal is going to be. Let's get the
<v Speaker 1>wheel out here. There we go. Let's find out what
<v Speaker 1>the goal is. Is going to be for tonight. For
<v Speaker 1>Be The Booker. As we always do. Daddy Ugarte. Thank you.
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. 465. So 465 likes. We hit that.
<v Speaker 1>And Be The Booker will be unlocked. For later in
<v Speaker 1>the stream. So go ahead and hit that thumbs up.
<v Speaker 1>Tortured Genius. Thank you for the super. I appreciate it.
<v Speaker 1>So as I mentioned, they did air a graphic right
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the show, paying tribute to Neville,
<v Speaker 1>which of course is the name that he used when
<v Speaker 1>he was in NXT and when he was on the
<v Speaker 1>WWE main roster. The Usos and Jacob fought too. They
<v Speaker 1>were out to the ring to open things up. They
<v Speaker 1>did not do their usual entrance coming through the crowd.
<v Speaker 1>They came out the traditional way. And Jimmy talked about
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the recent stuff that's gone down with
<v Speaker 1>the 946 crew. According to him, 9-4-6 kidnapping their little
<v Speaker 1>brother Solo, despite their issues, is something that they can't
<v Speaker 1>come back from. And Fatu said that he's been telling
<v Speaker 1>his brothers here not to make a move. Let it play.
<v Speaker 1>Play out, right? Play it slow. Tonight, though, that's off
<v Speaker 1>the table because they're going to dog walk the 9-4-6
<v Speaker 1>because the bloodline is all gas and no brakes. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>I guess that should have been a sign of things
<v Speaker 1>to come. So then Jey Uso issued his warning shot
<v Speaker 1>that he's been doing. So we see on the big
<v Speaker 1>screen an SUV pulls up outside the building. It was
<v Speaker 1>really in the indoor parking lot area. So the bloodline,
<v Speaker 1>they leave the ring and they rush to the back.
<v Speaker 1>They're going to run the play right now, right? Let's
<v Speaker 1>get to it. Let's not waste any time. So they
<v Speaker 1>go to the back and eventually they cut to the
<v Speaker 1>SUV and there's a crew member, a production member, who
<v Speaker 1>opens up the driver's side door and tells whoever it
<v Speaker 1>is inside, Adam Pierce has been expecting you. So then
<v Speaker 1>the bloodline arrive and they knock him out of the way.
<v Speaker 1>And they all look very confused when they look into
<v Speaker 1>the car to see who's there and then who should
<v Speaker 1>emerge from the car. But Jada Parker from NXT, which
<v Speaker 1>had social media in a tizzy because we have Jada
<v Speaker 1>Parker on screen with Jey Uso and, I don't know
<v Speaker 1>if they're an item. I don't know if they're together.
<v Speaker 1>Supposedly they've been together for a while. I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. But everybody else seems to care. They
<v Speaker 1>seem to care about Jay Uso's personal life and the
<v Speaker 1>divorce that he went through. And is he with Jada Parker?
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he is. All I can tell you is that
<v Speaker 1>he had a look on his face of just like
<v Speaker 1>he was mystified, which I would too, I suppose, if
<v Speaker 1>Jada Parker was standing in front of me. But anyway,
<v Speaker 1>so she said that she was off to talk to
<v Speaker 1>Adam Pearce. And so off she went. And I like
<v Speaker 1>what they did here because obviously they set things up
<v Speaker 1>for what was going to happen later in the show.
<v Speaker 1>But it was a hook, right? It was a hook
<v Speaker 1>for you if you do know who she is, which
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people clearly do if you watch NXT,
<v Speaker 1>or if you've been following the gossip online and you
<v Speaker 1>want to see, oh, they're going to do something with
<v Speaker 1>her and Jey Uso, right? You want to stick around
<v Speaker 1>and see. Why is she here? Why is she meeting
<v Speaker 1>with Adam Pearce? Is she going to be a part
<v Speaker 1>of this whole bloodline 946 stuff in some way. Right?
<v Speaker 1>They want you to stick around to find out. So
<v Speaker 1>that was smart. As far as her joining Monday Night Raw,
<v Speaker 1>it became very clear why at the end of the show.
<v Speaker 1>I will say my first thought in watching this, though,
<v Speaker 1>was if you've got Jada on Raw, I'm not sure
<v Speaker 1>that Lola couldn't have been used more on SmackDown. Because
<v Speaker 1>we just had Lola Weiss sign her Raw contract. And
<v Speaker 1>now we know Jada Parker is going to be on
<v Speaker 1>Raw as well. And SmackDown could certainly use a little
<v Speaker 1>more love as well in the women's division on Friday nights. But,
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, they've got a lot of talented women
<v Speaker 1>on the SmackDown roster. They're down a few. Bianca's been
<v Speaker 1>gone forever and Jordan Grace has been missing and Chelsea's
<v Speaker 1>been hurt. She just came back. Who else is missing?
<v Speaker 1>Is there somebody else missing? I think on SmackDown, maybe
<v Speaker 1>they'll call up another person. Tatum Paxley is one, right?
<v Speaker 1>Who just got called up. She's on SmackDown, but I
<v Speaker 1>still feel like they could use one more. So we
<v Speaker 1>go to the back. Penta is with Javon Evans and
<v Speaker 1>they're hanging out and they're talking about both of them
<v Speaker 1>being ready for money in the bank because they're both
<v Speaker 1>going to be in the men's ladder match. Dominic Mysterio
<v Speaker 1>and JD McDonough show up. Enough! Enough! Enough! Hey, Jet Hawk.
<v Speaker 1>Jet Hawk had enough of the judgment. As soon as
<v Speaker 1>I started talking about the judgment day, he said, enough.
<v Speaker 1>No more. He said enough. And by the way, the
<v Speaker 1>people that mentioned Tamina over Naomi... Go sit in the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Why would you even make that suggestion? Who would be
<v Speaker 1>asking for that? By the way, as far as I know,
<v Speaker 1>my understanding from what I have read, I mean, I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this was ever confirmed, is that Tamina
<v Speaker 1>is still on the roster. I don't think Tamina was
<v Speaker 1>ever actually released from WWE. For all we know, she's
<v Speaker 1>still drawing a paycheck and is still on the roster.
<v Speaker 1>So I don't really know what her status is, but
<v Speaker 1>I have no interest in seeing her become part of this.
<v Speaker 1>Naomi is a different story. Tamina, no thank you. So anyway,
<v Speaker 1>the Judgment Day. Dominic Mysterio, J.D. McDonough, they show up.
<v Speaker 1>And Dom is making all kinds of excuses about his
<v Speaker 1>loss last week. And he goes, Penta, don't you care
<v Speaker 1>about Solo being kidnapped? How come you don't seem to
<v Speaker 1>care about that? Javon says that Dom has a big heart.
<v Speaker 1>And he says J.D. has a big head. And this
<v Speaker 1>all leads to Penta suggesting that the two of them
<v Speaker 1>could face Penta and Javon later tonight, which is the
<v Speaker 1>match we got later in the show. Then we had
<v Speaker 1>two of the six women in the Money in the
<v Speaker 1>Bank ladder match, the women's ladder match, face off here.
<v Speaker 1>Lola Weiss, her first singles match on Monday Night Raw,
<v Speaker 1>one-on-one against Roxanne Perez. Weiss later in the match. Weiss
<v Speaker 1>hit her with a pair of running hip attacks in
<v Speaker 1>the corner and then rubbed up against her face that's
<v Speaker 1>one way to bring in new viewers is to have
<v Speaker 1>Lola Weiss doing that every Monday the internet is going
<v Speaker 1>to explode by the way in more ways than one
<v Speaker 1>when they do Lola Weiss against Stephanie Becker. I'm just saying.
<v Speaker 1>So Roxanne tripped up Lola in the ropes and then
<v Speaker 1>hit her with the double jump lion's salt before locking
<v Speaker 1>in a crossface. Lola, though, rolled through, countered that beautifully
<v Speaker 1>into an armbar. Perez, though, was able to counter that
<v Speaker 1>into a jackknife cover for a near fall. And then
<v Speaker 1>Roxanne charged right into a spinning backfist that connected flush.
<v Speaker 1>Nighty night, Roxanne Perez and Lola gets the win. Her
<v Speaker 1>first singles win here on Monday Night Raw. After the
<v Speaker 1>match was over, Raquel Rodriguez came out. She booted down Lola.
<v Speaker 1>Sol Ruka then ran in. She took her out with
<v Speaker 1>a springboard dropkick. Then she went for the soul snatcher. Roxanne, though,
<v Speaker 1>cut her off and Raquel hit a Tejana bomb on
<v Speaker 1>Sol Ruka. and then held Lola for a kick, and
<v Speaker 1>Roxanne hit pop rocks on Lola, and so the Judgment
<v Speaker 1>Day ladies stood tall as they left together here at
<v Speaker 1>the end. Hey, Lola can go. I mean, not that
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see any of her work in NXT, so
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she can wrestle, but she can go. I
<v Speaker 1>thought she looked very impressive here in this match. Wicked backfist.
<v Speaker 1>I like that finish. I think she's going to do
<v Speaker 1>just fine on Monday nights, but Again, I still wonder
<v Speaker 1>if maybe it would have made more sense for her
<v Speaker 1>to be on SmackDown, but she's on Raw. Jackie Redmove
<v Speaker 1>is in the back to interview Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio.
<v Speaker 1>And Dragon Lee said that he's feeling great, has not
<v Speaker 1>forgotten what Big Cass did to him. I think that was, God,
<v Speaker 1>how many weeks ago was that? When he got attacked by,
<v Speaker 1>it had to be over a month ago when he
<v Speaker 1>got attacked by Big Cass. So Rey is putting Dragon
<v Speaker 1>Lee over and then Cass shows up and says he's
<v Speaker 1>going to stomp out Dragon Lee tonight. Then we got
<v Speaker 1>another 946 video. Said they knew the bloodline. We're going
<v Speaker 1>to call the play tonight. And nobody is safe. Again,
<v Speaker 1>we got a lot of little segments like this throughout
<v Speaker 1>the show. It was building to something at the very end.
<v Speaker 1>Obafemi was out next. Not in his gear. He was
<v Speaker 1>all dressed up. And he had a contract binder. He
<v Speaker 1>looked like he was about to sell me a car.
<v Speaker 1>So he came out to the ring. He said he's
<v Speaker 1>not dressed for combat tonight. And some fans booed. But
<v Speaker 1>then he said, that could easily change. And then they cheered.
<v Speaker 1>I hope he's doing a dark match or something. Because
<v Speaker 1>if not, I mean, why tease them like that? He
<v Speaker 1>said he's here for business. He's had some issues with
<v Speaker 1>the Vision the past couple of months. The temperature changed
<v Speaker 1>with the return of Bronson Reed. And the crowd booed
<v Speaker 1>and Oba said, I know, he sucks. He called Reed
<v Speaker 1>one disrespectful SOB. Reed wasn't around here when he shocked
<v Speaker 1>the world at WrestleMania or when the torch was passed
<v Speaker 1>to him or when he became king of the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Oba said, I'm the captain now, which popped me. How
<v Speaker 1>many years ago did that movie come out? A dated
<v Speaker 1>reference by now, is it not? I'm the captain now.
<v Speaker 1>He has a contract here for a one-on-one match at
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank. It's already approved by Adam Pearce.
<v Speaker 1>It's already signed off on by Triple H. And he
<v Speaker 1>himself already has his signature on it. Contracts are how
<v Speaker 1>business is done. A wise man told him that. He
<v Speaker 1>tells Bronson, come out and make things official. And so
<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reed, all by himself, came down to the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Oba handed him the contract binder. And Reed says that
<v Speaker 1>Oba's got some balls. They've been in the same ring
<v Speaker 1>twice now. And Reed put him down twice. Oba beat
<v Speaker 1>Brock Lesnar twice, but he, being Reed, is not Brock Lesnar.
<v Speaker 1>He said, I'm not here to compete. I'm here to
<v Speaker 1>dethrone the ruler. So then he signs the contract, and
<v Speaker 1>he hands it back to Oba, and he goes to leave.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, well, this is one of those rare
<v Speaker 1>contract signings where they literally just come out to sign
<v Speaker 1>the contract and leave. How boring. Although, if they would
<v Speaker 1>have just brawled, it would have been the same formula.
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we just don't need as many contract signings.
<v Speaker 1>But he went to go leave, and as he's leaving,
<v Speaker 1>Oba says, you know, you got some balls sealing your
<v Speaker 1>fate tonight. Heyman is playing games because he sent Bronson
<v Speaker 1>out there to stop the one man that he knows
<v Speaker 1>cannot be stopped. And Oba wishes him good luck because
<v Speaker 1>he's going to need it. So this was very tame
<v Speaker 1>stuff here. Again, very straightforward stuff. They came out, they
<v Speaker 1>said a few words, they signed the contract. Not that
<v Speaker 1>we needed some big pull apart, but it wasn't the
<v Speaker 1>most exciting thing in the world. But we're getting the
<v Speaker 1>match at Money in the Bank. I like that match.
<v Speaker 1>It's the match that makes sense to me if they
<v Speaker 1>want to eventually circle back around to Oba and Braun Breaker.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when they might want to do that rematch.
<v Speaker 1>We never really got a real resolution between those two.
<v Speaker 1>And so you can get a couple of matches out
<v Speaker 1>of this. I would love it if they would give
<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reed the win. Speaking of balls, I don't know
<v Speaker 1>if they have the balls to do it. They have
<v Speaker 1>money in the bank. They did it with Roman Reigns.
<v Speaker 1>There's no reason they can't do it with Obafemi, right?
<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reed's got a win over Roman Reigns, right? And
<v Speaker 1>then eventually I think Roman got his win back and
<v Speaker 1>his shoes back. There's no reason they can't do the
<v Speaker 1>same thing with Oba. Would they actually have the guts
<v Speaker 1>to beat Obafemi and Roman Reigns in the same night?
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I don't think they would. But
<v Speaker 1>I say there's no harm in doing it. Earlier today,
<v Speaker 1>there was a conversation in the hallway between Adam Pierce
<v Speaker 1>and EO Sky. They were talking about some such stuff
<v Speaker 1>when Lyra Valkyria, greasy Lyra, comes strolling over. She's very
<v Speaker 1>mad that she had to go track Adam down after
<v Speaker 1>she beat Bailey, who some consider to be the very
<v Speaker 1>best in this place. Why did I have to come
<v Speaker 1>find you? You should have come find me. So Lyra
<v Speaker 1>says EO's career is headed downward. Pierce makes a match
<v Speaker 1>between them for later tonight. Lyra leaves and then EO
<v Speaker 1>tells Pierce, Lyra's got issues, right? That girl's got issues.
<v Speaker 1>She does. Although Bailey was the one who was hearing
<v Speaker 1>voices in her head. I'm very happy that she's healthy again,
<v Speaker 1>by the way. We haven't heard about the voices in
<v Speaker 1>a while. We had Dragon Lee. Against Big Cass, who
<v Speaker 1>was wrestling Josh Briggs, I saw, in main event last week.
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of voices, we heard a lot of them during
<v Speaker 1>this match. They were very loud for Dragon Lee, which
<v Speaker 1>is very nice to see. He gave Cass a kick
<v Speaker 1>as he was trying to get into the ring, right
<v Speaker 1>at the very beginning of all this. And then he
<v Speaker 1>dove out onto Cass on the floor. So right out
<v Speaker 1>of the gate, Dragon Lee was all over this guy.
<v Speaker 1>So then back in the ring, he ended up being
<v Speaker 1>mowed down by a big boot. Later in the match,
<v Speaker 1>he was able to get Cass out of there. He
<v Speaker 1>might have low-bridged him, but he got Cass out of
<v Speaker 1>the ring. And then he dove over the ropes, hit
<v Speaker 1>him with a Hurricanrana. It's a spot where he literally
<v Speaker 1>just dives over the top rope in a seated position
<v Speaker 1>and then lands on the guy's shoulders and takes him over.
<v Speaker 1>So he did that spot with Cass. And in so doing,
<v Speaker 1>Cass ended up colliding with a cameraman. Not too hard
<v Speaker 1>or anything, but still. It's a 7-foot, 300-pound guy. who
<v Speaker 1>is colliding with the cameraman up against the barricade. And then,
<v Speaker 1>I assume just to sell it, the cameraman, there's like
<v Speaker 1>this delayed bump where then the camera guy went down,
<v Speaker 1>the camera goes down. Poor guy should get hazard pay.
<v Speaker 1>So then Lee hit another dive out to the floor.
<v Speaker 1>This time he did it headfirst like a dart. Reminded
<v Speaker 1>me of one of those King Cuerno dives. Old Santos
<v Speaker 1>Escobar from the Lucha Underground days. He looked like a
<v Speaker 1>torpedo coming out. He really looked like a dart coming
<v Speaker 1>through the ropes. So then Cass ends up crawling slowly
<v Speaker 1>back into the ring. He's all stunned. And as soon
<v Speaker 1>as he tries to get back in, Lee catches him
<v Speaker 1>with a punt kick. Dragon Lee then went for a
<v Speaker 1>crossbody in the ring. Cass easily caught him, though, on
<v Speaker 1>the way down. Lee escaped, hit Cass with a tornado DDT.
<v Speaker 1>So then he pulls down the elbow pad and he
<v Speaker 1>blasts big Cass with a hidden blade. Lee went for
<v Speaker 1>Operation Dragon. After that, only got him an earful. He
<v Speaker 1>went for Operation Dragon. Cass, though, countered out into a
<v Speaker 1>chokeslam attempt. Lee, though, countered out of that into a
<v Speaker 1>jackknife pin for the upset win. And after the match,
<v Speaker 1>Lee dove into the crowd to celebrate with the fans.
<v Speaker 1>Somebody handed him a cup of beer, and he's taking
<v Speaker 1>a few sips of the beer. Gotta quench your thirst. See,
<v Speaker 1>after a match like that, I don't know that you
<v Speaker 1>should be drinking beer, though. You're already dehydrated from the match.
<v Speaker 1>You need some of that high-quality H2O, is what I
<v Speaker 1>would think. Then you could hit the bar. But he
<v Speaker 1>was celebrating with the fans, and the key here is
<v Speaker 1>that Dragon Lee was super over with the crowd. Which
<v Speaker 1>is not to say that he hasn't been over other weeks,
<v Speaker 1>like when he had the match in Mexico City against
<v Speaker 1>Chad Gable. Or he's had some tag matches. I think
<v Speaker 1>he did a tag match with Rey Mysterio not that
<v Speaker 1>long ago. Or maybe Javon. So he's been over. But
<v Speaker 1>this is like the first time where he's in there
<v Speaker 1>by himself. He's in this match. And they're not in
<v Speaker 1>Mexico or anything like that. And it just felt like, okay...
<v Speaker 1>something's going on here with this guy where he's, he's
<v Speaker 1>getting over, you know, and the people really like him
<v Speaker 1>and they think he's fun and they want to cheer
<v Speaker 1>for him and get behind him. Uh, cause Penta is
<v Speaker 1>like the, the, the big luchador, right? Not just on raw,
<v Speaker 1>but really in the entire company right now. And he's
<v Speaker 1>super over and even more so coming out of the
<v Speaker 1>match of Roman reigns. And hopefully he'll, he'll get an
<v Speaker 1>even bigger push as time goes on, but don't count
<v Speaker 1>out Dragon Lee. Now, Dragon Lee is somebody who should
<v Speaker 1>be holding gold soon too, you know, or could be anyway.
<v Speaker 1>I maintain it was the right move to keep the
<v Speaker 1>belt on Chad Gable, but they're not exactly doing a
<v Speaker 1>whole lot with Chad Gable right now. They've got to
<v Speaker 1>get on that. But Dragon Lee is awesome, and I
<v Speaker 1>was surprised how good this match was. They had the
<v Speaker 1>whole big guy, not-so-big-guy dynamic going on. They work well together.
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was a good match. And should they
<v Speaker 1>be protecting Big Cass more? Probably. I don't know that
<v Speaker 1>he has to be undefeated. to be protected. But I
<v Speaker 1>also wouldn't look at this and go that this was
<v Speaker 1>any kind of, you know, momentum killer or anything like that.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is potentially leading to more
<v Speaker 1>matches between them because he was pissed off when the
<v Speaker 1>match was over and his eyes were bugging out of
<v Speaker 1>his head. So is he just going to have a
<v Speaker 1>meltdown and start killing people? Again, is it going to
<v Speaker 1>be a situation where we have more matches with him
<v Speaker 1>and Dragon Lee? Possibly. Possibly. the key is to make
<v Speaker 1>sure he's featured on the show and not just on
<v Speaker 1>Main Event wrestling people from NXT. Because when I saw
<v Speaker 1>he was on Main Event last week wrestling Josh Briggs,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, let's hope he's not just relegated
<v Speaker 1>to Main Event. Because that happens sometimes. You'll see people
<v Speaker 1>on Main Event and you don't see them on Raw.
<v Speaker 1>You don't see them on SmackDown. They're exclusively Main Event.
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Grace, most of her fucking year has been exclusively
<v Speaker 1>on Main Event. And the guy just came back. As
<v Speaker 1>long as he stays on Raw... and has a role
<v Speaker 1>on the show, he's okay. He lost a hot match
<v Speaker 1>to Dragon Lee, who the fans really like. Not that
<v Speaker 1>big of a deal, right? And not really the sign
<v Speaker 1>of any sort of big pattern. Yeah, he's lost two
<v Speaker 1>matches on the show. Let's not freak out, you know,
<v Speaker 1>if you're a big cast fan. It's not like he's
<v Speaker 1>lost four or five matches in a row. But this
<v Speaker 1>was really good. Again, I enjoyed this more than I
<v Speaker 1>thought I would. So we go to the back, and
<v Speaker 1>we go to the bloodline. And Jacob Fatu was laying
<v Speaker 1>out the whole battle plan against 9-4-6. 9-4-6 is going
<v Speaker 1>to try and separate them. But no matter what, we
<v Speaker 1>got to stick together. I think it's time to run
<v Speaker 1>the play, Oos. I'm watching this going, yeah, I think
<v Speaker 1>it's time to run the damn play. This has been
<v Speaker 1>going on now for many, many weeks. It's about time
<v Speaker 1>for the play to be run. Thankfully, it was at
<v Speaker 1>the end of the show. Jackie Redman was backstage with
<v Speaker 1>a women's world champion, Stephanie Vicaire. And she wanted to know,
<v Speaker 1>how are you going to decide who to defend your
<v Speaker 1>title against? Becky Lynch or Liv Morgan? Who gets first?
<v Speaker 1>And Stephanie said, if they want to fight me, they're
<v Speaker 1>going to have to fight each other first. So next week,
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be a number one contenders match on Raw.
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be Becky Lynch going one-on-one with Liv Morgan.
<v Speaker 1>And the winner of that match will challenge Stephanie for
<v Speaker 1>the Women's World Championship at Money in the Bank. And
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to this and I'm watching this and I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>why does Stephanie... have the ability to make that sort
<v Speaker 1>of decision. Isn't that up to the general manager or
<v Speaker 1>who she thinks she is, Roman Reigns? Since when does
<v Speaker 1>the champion get to dictate, you know what, I'm not
<v Speaker 1>facing you or you. You guys are going to wrestle,
<v Speaker 1>and then whoever wins, I'll get you at money. She's
<v Speaker 1>booking the show. I'm like, boy, they're giving her a
<v Speaker 1>lot of leeway here to make these decisions. So now
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank... As the card currently stands, Money
<v Speaker 1>in the Bank has a Roman Reigns title defense. They
<v Speaker 1>have two ladder matches. We know Obafemi is wrestling on
<v Speaker 1>the show against Bronson Reed. And now we know we're
<v Speaker 1>going to get a Women's World Championship match. You know,
<v Speaker 1>as Money in the Bank cards go, that's pretty good.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not expecting there to be a WWE title match.
<v Speaker 1>I would not do a WWE title match on the show.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's needed. When you have a Roman
<v Speaker 1>Reigns title match and two ladder matches, that's all you need.
<v Speaker 1>The WWE title stuff, there's so much going on there
<v Speaker 1>and there's so many moving parts and so many people
<v Speaker 1>coming after Sami Zayn. You save that for another time.
<v Speaker 1>The only thing is there is no other PLE until
<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel. And Crown Jewel is going to be champion
<v Speaker 1>versus champion. So there is no PLE for them to
<v Speaker 1>do a WWE title match on until Survivor Series. So
<v Speaker 1>if they're going to do something like a triple threat
<v Speaker 1>match or a fatal four-way, it'll have to be on
<v Speaker 1>an episode of SmackDown. Because they just don't have... Unless
<v Speaker 1>I'm missing something. I don't think there's another one after
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank until we get to Riyadh. And
<v Speaker 1>you can't do it there. Not going to be able
<v Speaker 1>to do it on that show. We got a video
<v Speaker 1>package for LA Nights. Who was there. We saw him
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later very briefly. But this was a
<v Speaker 1>pre-taped vignette. And he talked about how he became the
<v Speaker 1>fastest rising star in history. Without being anybody's guy. For three... Oh,
<v Speaker 1>back to 92. I see Dude Here. 73. It's good
<v Speaker 1>to see Dude Here. With the 1992... Appreciate that. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>we saw somebody else. Oh, look at that. He disappeared.
<v Speaker 1>As quickly as he showed up, he vanished. But I
<v Speaker 1>know what that sound means. Seth Rollins with his Be
<v Speaker 1>the Booker briefcase popped in and popped right out. So
<v Speaker 1>the cash-in number is 50 for the Gunthar bomb. If
<v Speaker 1>we get one Gunthar bomb, that guarantees one round minimum
<v Speaker 1>of Be the Booker. So that's what that means. There
<v Speaker 1>you go. We'll see if anybody cashes in. But L.A.
<v Speaker 1>Knight talked about how he wasn't anybody's guy. He wasn't
<v Speaker 1>anybody's boy. For three years, he was held back by politics,
<v Speaker 1>he said. He's bulletproof. He's the last of a dying breed.
<v Speaker 1>He knows this might be his last shot. He admitted
<v Speaker 1>that here, by the way. He said, I know this
<v Speaker 1>might be it for me. This might be my last opportunity.
<v Speaker 1>He never needed anybody. He's the most self-made man in
<v Speaker 1>this game. He'll rise because he has to. Says he'll
<v Speaker 1>make himself the man that you call world heavyweight champion.
<v Speaker 1>And I know many of you are, you got your
<v Speaker 1>fingers crossed, you got your toes crossed. You're really hoping, right?
<v Speaker 1>You're getting on your hands and knees. You're clasping your
<v Speaker 1>hands together. You're praying to the wrestling gods above that
<v Speaker 1>LA Knight is finally going to pull it off. And
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, don't get your hopes up. I'm not
<v Speaker 1>trying to be a spoil sport. I'm just trying to
<v Speaker 1>be pragmatic here. This is WWE, after all. Don't get
<v Speaker 1>your hopes up. Actually, that's a great life lesson, I think,
<v Speaker 1>just to live by, is not to get your hopes up.
<v Speaker 1>If you don't get your hopes up, you can't be disappointed.
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't get your hopes up and that
<v Speaker 1>it all works out, then it's a great surprise. But
<v Speaker 1>if you get your hopes up, more often than not,
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to this stuff, you'll end up being disappointed.
<v Speaker 1>As many of us have been with LA Knight before.
<v Speaker 1>One person I am rarely disappointed in is EO Sky.
<v Speaker 1>EO Sky went one-on-one here with Lyra Valkyrie. Deputy Doug
<v Speaker 1>says if he does win, he gets cashed in on, unfortunately.
<v Speaker 1>So what are we looking at? Are we looking at
<v Speaker 1>an LA Knight world title win and then Braun Breaker
<v Speaker 1>comes out and cashes in money in the bank? He
<v Speaker 1>immediately beats LA Knight to win the world championship. Well,
<v Speaker 1>let me ask all the LA Knight fans. If that
<v Speaker 1>was to happen, would that satisfy you? If he wins
<v Speaker 1>the world title, even if he only holds it for
<v Speaker 1>three minutes, you can say that he was the world
<v Speaker 1>heavyweight champion. Would that make you happy? Because I'm guessing
<v Speaker 1>the answer is no. Would that make you happy? Would
<v Speaker 1>that satisfy you? Or would you consider that to be
<v Speaker 1>an insult and a slap in the face? I think
<v Speaker 1>I already know the answer, but... The Double Chunk Chocolate Cookie!
<v Speaker 1>The Double Chunk Chocolate Cookie! Double Chunk Chocolate Cookie! Oh,
<v Speaker 1>the cookie. I forgot that I did that. Who was that?
<v Speaker 1>That was Bobbert. I don't know why I wasn't expecting that.
<v Speaker 1>That was Bobbert. That was Bobbert with the very disturbing
<v Speaker 1>$ 60 brand new double chocolate chunk cookie oh my god
<v Speaker 1>the timing is perfect we are heading into october my
<v Speaker 1>favorite month we're heading into halloween season i was wondering
<v Speaker 1>how how early we might see ghoulberg make an appearance
<v Speaker 1>been a while and uh fire panda made sure we
<v Speaker 1>saw ghoulberg now before we before the calendar even flips
<v Speaker 1>over to october so bomber thank you for the 60
<v Speaker 1>because that guarantees us no matter what at least one
<v Speaker 1>round of be the booker tonight he cashed in his
<v Speaker 1>money in the bank for be the booker so you
<v Speaker 1>could thank bobbert for that and then uh fire panda
<v Speaker 1>i hope you're doing well fire panda always good to
<v Speaker 1>hear from fire panda cross versus mason was a great
<v Speaker 1>match i cannot wait for them to run it back
<v Speaker 1>i vote to make the rematch a dog collar match
<v Speaker 1>mr commissioner r.i.p pack yeah that was a uh that
<v Speaker 1>was a wild one that those two had in Chicago
<v Speaker 1>on Friday night. And as Cross said on the mic
<v Speaker 1>when the match was over, even though he won, he
<v Speaker 1>got choked out after by a cable cord by Mason.
<v Speaker 1>He said, this is not over yet. This is not
<v Speaker 1>over yet. So I'm sure in due time we will
<v Speaker 1>see that again. But thank you, my friend. Boy, all
<v Speaker 1>that was very bizarre to go from the... Whatever was
<v Speaker 1>going on there with the cookie to go into that.
<v Speaker 1>That was quite the transition. Io Sky against Lyra Valkyria
<v Speaker 1>is what we had next. There was a fun spot
<v Speaker 1>here where, and Lyra's done this before, but there was
<v Speaker 1>a fun spot where Lyra tied up Io with a
<v Speaker 1>pendulum swing. Then she tried to transition. It looked like
<v Speaker 1>she was going to transition into a surfboard. Io came
<v Speaker 1>back and tried for the acai moonsault. Lyra, though, tripped
<v Speaker 1>her up in the ropes before she could actually go
<v Speaker 1>for the moonsault. And Io falls backwards, and she's outside
<v Speaker 1>the ring, but she's hanging upside down by her feet.
<v Speaker 1>Her feet are, like, hooked on the top rope. And
<v Speaker 1>she's upside down, Lyra's on the apron, and she delivers
<v Speaker 1>a low dropkick. So during the break, both women had
<v Speaker 1>the same idea. They tried for a crossbody. They collided
<v Speaker 1>in the center of the ring in midair. Io then
<v Speaker 1>hit a dropkick off the top rope. Lyra came back
<v Speaker 1>with a sit-out powerbomb for a near fall. Valkyria tried
<v Speaker 1>for Nightwing. Eo escaped and hit the double underhook backbreaker
<v Speaker 1>for a near fall. So they fought to the apron.
<v Speaker 1>And Lyra dropped Eo with a fisherman suplex. And Eo
<v Speaker 1>tumbles to the floor. Lyra went for a dive. Eo
<v Speaker 1>was able to avoid it. Then she caught Lyra with
<v Speaker 1>the springboard moonsault. Back inside, Eo went to the top.
<v Speaker 1>She was going to go for her over the moonsault. Valkyria, though,
<v Speaker 1>shoved her and then pulled her off the ropes into
<v Speaker 1>a backbreaker across the knee. Valkyria went to the top
<v Speaker 1>and she got distracted. Now, why did she get distracted?
<v Speaker 1>Because she looked over and who was standing on top
<v Speaker 1>of the announce desk? Bailey. And shout out to Bailey.
<v Speaker 1>You can see she had the black armbands had Ben
<v Speaker 1>on it. It's a tribute to Pac. She's standing on
<v Speaker 1>top of the announce desk. And this distracted Lyra long
<v Speaker 1>enough that by the time she actually jumped off the
<v Speaker 1>top rope, She ate a standing dropkick from Io Sky.
<v Speaker 1>Io followed up with the moonsault, and she picked up
<v Speaker 1>the win. This was good stuff. I enjoyed this more
<v Speaker 1>than I did the match between Lyra and Bayley. This was,
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say infinitely, but this was definitely
<v Speaker 1>better than that. I can only hope, since they're obviously
<v Speaker 1>going to be running it back again with Bayley and Lyra,
<v Speaker 1>that whatever they do next, maybe they could add some
<v Speaker 1>sort of stipulation to shake it up a little bit.
<v Speaker 1>I just hope they can go out there and have
<v Speaker 1>a better match than the one they had. I was
<v Speaker 1>pretty bored by the last match they had. The first
<v Speaker 1>one at Saturday Night's Main Event was better than the
<v Speaker 1>Raw match, but they need to... It just feels to
<v Speaker 1>me like this feud is not connecting. It's not really firing.
<v Speaker 1>And so for their sake, hopefully when they get in
<v Speaker 1>the ring next time, they can get the crowd invested
<v Speaker 1>in it because they weren't invested in that last match
<v Speaker 1>and neither was I. This one was good, though. I
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed this. So we go backstage... I will tell you
<v Speaker 1>one thing I am. I can confidently say. is that
<v Speaker 1>that song is much better than the song we got
<v Speaker 1>in the tag match later on in the show from
<v Speaker 1>Joe Hendry. Easily. I could say that without hesitation. Yukio Rules,
<v Speaker 1>with the $ 28 anthem to Mother Wayne. Thank you for
<v Speaker 1>sharing that Jey Uso animated video of him breathing heavily
<v Speaker 1>and cutting a promo. It had me dying. Yeah, that was...
<v Speaker 1>It actually somehow got funnier the second, third, and eighth
<v Speaker 1>time that I watched that video. I definitely watched that
<v Speaker 1>video more than eight times. And it somehow got funnier
<v Speaker 1>each time I watched it. And the guy even who
<v Speaker 1>was doing it was trying not to crack up laughing.
<v Speaker 1>I almost had an asthma attack And I don't even
<v Speaker 1>have asthma, but I almost had an asthma attack just
<v Speaker 1>watching that video. We go backstage to the bloodline. And
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy is telling Jacob and Jay, we gotta do it
<v Speaker 1>for Solo tonight. Thank you, I appreciate that. LA Knight appears.
<v Speaker 1>And he made a comment because the photos on the
<v Speaker 1>wall in the room were all Roman Reigns. Who wasn't
<v Speaker 1>even there tonight. And so he made a comment about that.
<v Speaker 1>He accused them of creating this whole 9-4-6 monster. And
<v Speaker 1>he reminded them that Solo is his boy. He got
<v Speaker 1>abducted and the two of them are friends. Jay says
<v Speaker 1>that Solo would still be with the family if not
<v Speaker 1>for people like L.A. So Knight tells them to get
<v Speaker 1>their jackass cousin on the show next week. And he'll
<v Speaker 1>be there to greet him with open arms. Or maybe
<v Speaker 1>it was with arms wide open. as Creed once said. Sorry.
<v Speaker 1>So Knight left, and Jacob said, look, we got other
<v Speaker 1>business to handle tonight. So they go to commercial. We
<v Speaker 1>come back from the break, and Jackie Redman was in
<v Speaker 1>the back with the AAA cruiserweight champion, Ray Phoenix, who's
<v Speaker 1>here to make a huge announcement. And I said, oh boy,
<v Speaker 1>let's see what this is all about. he said that
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten permission to defend his triple a cruiserweight title
<v Speaker 1>now against all or across rather all brands, which means
<v Speaker 1>that he's got to defend his title on Monday night raw,
<v Speaker 1>which is awesome. He said, so basically we have the WWE, uh,
<v Speaker 1>cruiserweight title back. That's basically what this is. If they're
<v Speaker 1>going to have him defending the cruiserweight title across Ryan Smackdown,
<v Speaker 1>we basically have a cruiserweight title back on the show. And, uh,
<v Speaker 1>As cruiserweight champions go, you can't really go wrong with
<v Speaker 1>Rey Fenix holding that title. Look, if that's what's going
<v Speaker 1>to get Rey Fenix screen time on these shows, then
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for it. I don't really need to see
<v Speaker 1>AAA titles being defended across WWE television any more so
<v Speaker 1>than I would care to see NXT championships being defended
<v Speaker 1>across main roster shows. But if it gets Rey Fenix
<v Speaker 1>on the show, if it gives them a reason to
<v Speaker 1>book him and use him on the main roster, which
<v Speaker 1>they weren't doing for months until he won that belt,
<v Speaker 1>then fine. As long as it gets him on the
<v Speaker 1>show because Ray Phoenix is fucking awesome. Ray Phoenix has
<v Speaker 1>had some really fun matches defending that title. Mainly on SmackDown.
<v Speaker 1>So now he'll be defending it on Raw. Chad Gable
<v Speaker 1>walks in. He's the Intercontinental Champion. He's got a belt too.
<v Speaker 1>And he congratulates Phoenix. This was actually comical to me.
<v Speaker 1>He walks in and he compliments Phoenix and congratulates him
<v Speaker 1>on his amazing win. with him and Penta over Peros
<v Speaker 1>del Mal on Saturday. Now, Worlds Collide took place in
<v Speaker 1>Chicago on Saturday. They had a big crowd there, 13,000 plus.
<v Speaker 1>And on that show, the Lucha Brothers defeat Peros del Mal. Now,
<v Speaker 1>I'm not spoiling anything for you because they just did. Plus,
<v Speaker 1>how many people are watching the show who aren't hip
<v Speaker 1>to this stuff, who are like, what the fuck is
<v Speaker 1>he talking about? the Lucha Brothers beat Paros Del Mar.
<v Speaker 1>That didn't air anywhere. Yeah, it's not airing until it
<v Speaker 1>is posted on YouTube on Wednesday night. It hasn't even
<v Speaker 1>technically aired yet. They just went and spoiled the result
<v Speaker 1>of one of the matches on the show. It's very
<v Speaker 1>weird to me. It hasn't even aired yet. And he's
<v Speaker 1>congratulating him on something that everybody watching the show hasn't
<v Speaker 1>even seen. So that was very bizarre. Ethan Page walks in.
<v Speaker 1>And again, he's just annoying Gable and he's, he's, tormenting Gable.
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix tells Ethan, you're not a cruiserweight, but how about
<v Speaker 1>next week I kick your ass? And Paige said, an
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to beat another champion? I accept. I just wish
<v Speaker 1>they would have more for Gable to do. You know,
<v Speaker 1>he had that great title defense in Mexico City against
<v Speaker 1>Dragon Lee, and that was fantastic. It just feels like
<v Speaker 1>there's not really anything going on with him right now. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>I know that there's this ongoing story with him and,
<v Speaker 1>you know, him and Ethan Page. And they're building to
<v Speaker 1>an eventual match between the two. Wouldn't shock me if
<v Speaker 1>Page was the one to take that belt from Gable.
<v Speaker 1>That being said, they've really been dragging this out for
<v Speaker 1>so long. And in the meantime, Gable just has these
<v Speaker 1>sporadic appearances where he'll pop up in the back. He'll
<v Speaker 1>have an interaction with Ethan Page. You got to keep
<v Speaker 1>the momentum going. You know, Chad Gable is a babyface.
<v Speaker 1>He got himself over. He won the championship. And now
<v Speaker 1>you're in this critical period where People can very easily
<v Speaker 1>fall off unless you have something really of substance for
<v Speaker 1>him to do. And he's making regular appearances. When I
<v Speaker 1>say appearances, I don't just mean in segments like this.
<v Speaker 1>I mean in the fucking ring. That's how he got
<v Speaker 1>himself over. We need to see more of that. He's not,
<v Speaker 1>it just feels like he's not doing a whole lot
<v Speaker 1>right now. And the more that continues, the more momentum
<v Speaker 1>he's going to lose. And all that clapping he's trying
<v Speaker 1>to get the fans to do, the clapping is going
<v Speaker 1>to go away. He's going to lose the clap, right?
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to lose, well, I mean, I guess
<v Speaker 1>depending on Who you are, you might want to lose
<v Speaker 1>the clap. But if you're Chad Gable, you don't want
<v Speaker 1>to lose the clap. So I hope they can find
<v Speaker 1>more for him to do. With Penta and Javon Evans
<v Speaker 1>teaming up. Both men, by the way, in the Men's
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank ladder match coming up. They teamed
<v Speaker 1>up here to take on the Judgment Day. Dominic Mysterio
<v Speaker 1>and J.D. McDonough. And the match was going along okay.
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of like any other average match that
<v Speaker 1>you would see here on Raw. And then it just
<v Speaker 1>kicked into another gear. And they got a lot of time, too.
<v Speaker 1>They got about 17 minutes or so for this match.
<v Speaker 1>Dom tried to hit Penta with a 619. Penta, though,
<v Speaker 1>avoided that. He tried for a Penta driver, and Dom
<v Speaker 1>was able to avoid that. And clearly building to Gable
<v Speaker 1>and Page. Yes. Yes, they are. We don't know when
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be, though. It doesn't mean that in
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, Gable doesn't wrestle and doesn't do anything. You
<v Speaker 1>can come up with other things for him to do.
<v Speaker 1>Give him other opponents, right? I don't need to see
<v Speaker 1>the Chad Gable open challenge. But I'm just saying, it
<v Speaker 1>feels like he's doing nothing right now. That needs to change.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. So anyway, both men ended up down.
<v Speaker 1>Evans hit the red dot to McDonough, which isn't hard
<v Speaker 1>to do with the melon head. Evans tossed Dom over
<v Speaker 1>the barricade into the timekeeper's area, and then he slowly
<v Speaker 1>began to skip around ringside and build up some speed,
<v Speaker 1>and then he did the big running dive over the
<v Speaker 1>timekeeper's barricade onto Dom. So back inside, Evans caught McDonough
<v Speaker 1>with a superkick. Dom charged into a superkick from Penta.
<v Speaker 1>Evans went for the OG cutter to McDonough, who was
<v Speaker 1>setting Penta up for a piledriver or a powerbomb or something.
<v Speaker 1>McDonough moved out of the way at the last second,
<v Speaker 1>and Evans inadvertently drops Penta with an OG cutter. So
<v Speaker 1>then Dom caught Evans with a 619, only got a
<v Speaker 1>near fall out of it. And again, at this point,
<v Speaker 1>things are really kicking up into high gear. The fans
<v Speaker 1>are really into this now. And then we hear the
<v Speaker 1>voice of Joe Hendry. And he's got his mic, you know,
<v Speaker 1>the mic headset, and he's got his guitar. And he
<v Speaker 1>is singing a song in the middle of this match.
<v Speaker 1>He walks out onto the stage. He's got J.D. McDonough's
<v Speaker 1>Funko Pop father with the big head standing next to him,
<v Speaker 1>basically going like this. And he's trying to lead the
<v Speaker 1>crowd in singing J.D. McDonough is a Funko Pop. Very
<v Speaker 1>original lyrics here. And so he's trying to really get
<v Speaker 1>the crowd into it, and the fans didn't really catch on.
<v Speaker 1>Probably because they didn't really want to see this. They
<v Speaker 1>had a hot fucking match they were in the middle of,
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, what is this idiot doing out here?
<v Speaker 1>He's ruining what was a perfectly good wrestling match. Trying
<v Speaker 1>to ruin it with his garbage. So McDonough, he sees this,
<v Speaker 1>and he goes to go after Hendry. He looks over
<v Speaker 1>at Dom. You got this. You got this. Because Dom's
<v Speaker 1>going up for a frog splash on, I believe, Evans.
<v Speaker 1>You got this. You got this. And he's going to
<v Speaker 1>go after Joe Hendry. So meanwhile, Dom does dive off
<v Speaker 1>the top rope. He ends up taking the knees instead
<v Speaker 1>to the gut. McDonough comes back down to ringside and
<v Speaker 1>ends up walking right into a super kick from Penta,
<v Speaker 1>who came in from off screen. So Evans then took
<v Speaker 1>out McDonough with a dive. Penta was able to finish
<v Speaker 1>off Dom with a Mexican Destroyer to put things away.
<v Speaker 1>This was really good stuff. Outside of the unfunny Joe
<v Speaker 1>Hendry bit, very good match. And again, they got a
<v Speaker 1>lot of time. They got pretty close to 20 minutes here.
<v Speaker 1>Started off, I don't want to say slow, but it
<v Speaker 1>was just a very basic match. Like any other tag
<v Speaker 1>match you would see any given week on Raw. But
<v Speaker 1>then they kept going. And the crowd got more and
<v Speaker 1>more into it. And they were getting into the near falls.
<v Speaker 1>And some really good stuff here from these four. Dom
<v Speaker 1>loses again. That's kind of his role now. He's the
<v Speaker 1>perennial loser on these shows. But we definitely need to
<v Speaker 1>keep Penta strong. Got to keep Penta strong for big things.
<v Speaker 1>And look, Dom's not in Money in the Bank. Penta
<v Speaker 1>is in Money in the Bank. Javon Evans is in
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank. JD McDonough's not in. Dom's not in.
<v Speaker 1>So you got to put them over because they're going
<v Speaker 1>to the ladder match. Byron Saxton was backstage with the man,
<v Speaker 1>Becky Lynch. said that it's been over two years since
<v Speaker 1>she got a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, and
<v Speaker 1>she's made the title picture a lot more interesting since
<v Speaker 1>she came back a couple of months ago. So imagine
<v Speaker 1>what she'll do. And then she got cut off. She
<v Speaker 1>got interrupted here by the former Women's World Champion Liv Morgan,
<v Speaker 1>said that Becky has brought a whole lot of nothing
<v Speaker 1>to the title picture so far. Liv is the only
<v Speaker 1>one who makes that title interesting. I'm not quite sure
<v Speaker 1>how she does that. You know, you look at that
<v Speaker 1>first run that she had, or the most recent run,
<v Speaker 1>where she held on to the championship and had how
<v Speaker 1>many title defenses in the span of five or six months?
<v Speaker 1>Not very many. It was one of the worst Women's
<v Speaker 1>World Championship reigns of all time. Hardly an interesting reign.
<v Speaker 1>She said that she's the one who has already earned
<v Speaker 1>a rematch, and Becky said Liv doesn't believe that she
<v Speaker 1>can beat Becky one-on-one all by herself. So we'll find
<v Speaker 1>out next week, because they're going to have a number
<v Speaker 1>one contenders match, and You know, it's kind of like
<v Speaker 1>the Willow Nightingale Tecla stuff from AEW, where it feels
<v Speaker 1>to me like what you really want to be building
<v Speaker 1>to here is a three-way. It's probably the most interesting
<v Speaker 1>match to do. It makes sense. All three women just
<v Speaker 1>really don't like each other. And I could see that
<v Speaker 1>being the match that they do at Money in the Bank.
<v Speaker 1>So I could sit here and tell you that, well,
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to get a clean winner next week.
<v Speaker 1>And then Stephanie will be like, you know what? I'm
<v Speaker 1>a fighting champion. So I'm going to put my title
<v Speaker 1>on the line against both of you. which is what
<v Speaker 1>I think is going to happen. But I thought that
<v Speaker 1>might happen with Willow and Tekla, and then Tekla, with
<v Speaker 1>some help from her Sisters of Sin partners, beat Willow
<v Speaker 1>it all out on Saturday. So we're getting Mercedes and
<v Speaker 1>Tekla at WrestleDream. If one of these women were going
<v Speaker 1>to win, I still don't know if they're going to
<v Speaker 1>want to go right into Becky and Stephanie. I could
<v Speaker 1>see them doing one more match between Stephanie and Liv.
<v Speaker 1>But I really think we're going to get a three-way.
<v Speaker 1>I think we're going to get a triple threat on
<v Speaker 1>that show. So you'll have Judgment Day running in, and
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they'll do it, but some sort
<v Speaker 1>of non-decision that leads to Stephanie accepting the challenge to
<v Speaker 1>defend against both of them. She'll be the fighting babyface champion.
<v Speaker 1>That's my prediction. So ahead of one last commercial break,
<v Speaker 1>we see 946 have arrived at the building. They're on
<v Speaker 1>their way in. And after the break was over, to
<v Speaker 1>no music, Royce Keys, Lucian Price, and Bronco Nima, they're
<v Speaker 1>coming down the stairs through the crowd. Here comes security.
<v Speaker 1>They're sent out to the ring to try to stop
<v Speaker 1>these men. And then 946 easily dispatches them and starts
<v Speaker 1>laying waste to all the security geeks at ringside. Now
<v Speaker 1>here comes the bloodline. Jacob Fatu and the Usos slowly
<v Speaker 1>make their way out from the back. They meet 946
<v Speaker 1>down at ringside. And we've got an all-out six-way brawl here.
<v Speaker 1>And it spills into the ring. And the Usos dispose
<v Speaker 1>of OTM. But then on a dive attempt, Bronco Nima
<v Speaker 1>catches Jey Uso, slams him into the ring post casing,
<v Speaker 1>the LED casing, headfirst. Something happened over by the announce
<v Speaker 1>desk because Joe Tessitore is like screaming, Oh my God,
<v Speaker 1>something happened with Jacob Fatu and Royce Keys. Jacob Fatu
<v Speaker 1>hurt his leg or whatever. We couldn't see it. It
<v Speaker 1>would have been nice to, but they didn't have a
<v Speaker 1>camera over there. So we heard Joe Tessitore screaming about this,
<v Speaker 1>but we didn't actually see what happened exactly. Royce put
<v Speaker 1>Jacob in the ring. We did see that. And OTM,
<v Speaker 1>they dragged Jey Uso through the crowd, and Jimmy caught
<v Speaker 1>up with them. We go back to the ring, though,
<v Speaker 1>and Keyes is just manhandling Fatu with chair shots to
<v Speaker 1>the back. Fatu, though, comes back with a super kick,
<v Speaker 1>and he gets Keyes down in the corner. Remember when
<v Speaker 1>he killed him all the weeks ago, and all that
<v Speaker 1>radioactive blood was coming out of his mouth? So he's
<v Speaker 1>got him in position. He's going to do it again.
<v Speaker 1>He wraps a chair. He actually gives him a running
<v Speaker 1>hip attack. And now Fatu picks up the chair, and
<v Speaker 1>he places it around Keyes' neck. He wraps it around
<v Speaker 1>his neck, just like he did all those weeks ago.
<v Speaker 1>And he's going to go for the running hip attack. Keyes, though,
<v Speaker 1>rolls out of the ring and saves his life. So
<v Speaker 1>Jacob follows him, and he hits him in the back
<v Speaker 1>a few times with the chair. They go down the aisle,
<v Speaker 1>into the back, and they disappear. So now the camera
<v Speaker 1>cuts to OTM and the Usos, and they're brawling in
<v Speaker 1>the backstage area somewhere. Then they cut back to Fatu
<v Speaker 1>and Keyes, who are backstage in a completely different area
<v Speaker 1>that has carpeting. But they're in a totally different section
<v Speaker 1>in the back, and they end up in what looks
<v Speaker 1>like the parking lot area. And Keys, clearly it is,
<v Speaker 1>because after they're beating each other up there for a
<v Speaker 1>while in the indoor parking area, Keys ends up climbing
<v Speaker 1>into an SUV nearby. And I'm looking at this SUV,
<v Speaker 1>and it's not black. It's white or silver, whatever it was.
<v Speaker 1>But it looked like the same SUV that Jada Parker
<v Speaker 1>arrived in. At the beginning of the show. Because usually
<v Speaker 1>these guys on these shows, it's always black SUVs. When
<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns shows up, he comes out of a black Escalade.
<v Speaker 1>And when OTMs have been driving around, it's a black SUV.
<v Speaker 1>So this was not. This was the opposite of that.
<v Speaker 1>So that was something I noticed. Fatu, though, reached through
<v Speaker 1>the window, the driver's side window, to grab at Keyes. Keyes, though,
<v Speaker 1>I think he might have put his thumbs in his eyes.
<v Speaker 1>And then he slammed the car door into Fatu's head
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times. And then from out of nowhere,
<v Speaker 1>as Jacob is struggling back to his feet, here comes
<v Speaker 1>a car. And this is not an SUV, it's just
<v Speaker 1>a sedan. But here comes the car, and it runs
<v Speaker 1>down Jacob Fatu. And Jacob Fatu, or a reasonable facsimile,
<v Speaker 1>whoever was playing the role of Jacob Fatu here, took
<v Speaker 1>this incredible bump up onto the fucking windshield and the roof,
<v Speaker 1>and then he ends up on the floor. The way
<v Speaker 1>they shot this was great. And again, it looked like
<v Speaker 1>a hell of a bump. It wasn't Rikishi, though. It
<v Speaker 1>was Jada Parker who emerged from the car. Typical woman driver.
<v Speaker 1>I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding all the women drivers.
<v Speaker 1>But she was beside herself and she said, Oh my God,
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. I didn't, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't mean to do that. I didn't see you.
<v Speaker 1>And she's like panicking. And all of a sudden when
<v Speaker 1>Royce Keys walks over to her, Her whole demeanor changes.
<v Speaker 1>And she looks down at Jacob and she says, nobody
<v Speaker 1>is safe. Which is what 946 has been saying. They
<v Speaker 1>said it at the beginning of the show tonight. Nobody
<v Speaker 1>is safe. So Keyes and Parker, they got into the SUV.
<v Speaker 1>They went to go drive off together. And before they do,
<v Speaker 1>Keyes looks down at Jacob on the ground. He's got
<v Speaker 1>some blood on his forehead. He's barely conscious. And Keyes says,
<v Speaker 1>all gas, no brakes. And then drives off. Which really was,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that was the perfect line. It really was.
<v Speaker 1>That was the perfect line to deliver. Throw it right
<v Speaker 1>back in Jacob's face because he said it at the
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the show. So that was, I thought that
<v Speaker 1>was funny. This is a great angle. It was a
<v Speaker 1>hot angle. It was in some ways a cliffhanger because
<v Speaker 1>you're wondering what's going to be with Jacob Fatu. You know,
<v Speaker 1>is he going to be gone for weeks and weeks?
<v Speaker 1>Is he just going to show up in two weeks
<v Speaker 1>with a fucking little band-aid on his head? He just
<v Speaker 1>got run down by a car. Austin got run down
<v Speaker 1>by a car. He missed nine months, right? So how
<v Speaker 1>long is Jacob Fatu going to be away for and
<v Speaker 1>what condition is he in? And also Jada Parker, you know, why?
<v Speaker 1>Why Jada? Why? Why did Jada link up with 946?
<v Speaker 1>It actually makes sense because one thing I do know
<v Speaker 1>about NXT is that Jada Parker was at one time
<v Speaker 1>allies with OTM. So they have a relationship, a pre-existing
<v Speaker 1>alliance going back to their days together in NXT. So
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense. I mean, Jada wouldn't have any sort
<v Speaker 1>of relationship with Royce Keyes, but she does have that
<v Speaker 1>with OTM. So in that regard, it makes sense. I
<v Speaker 1>like also the idea of adding a female to the group.
<v Speaker 1>It's just a different dynamic. And I do think it
<v Speaker 1>opens the door now for not Tamina, as some of
<v Speaker 1>you were saying, but a Naomi return. Naomi being added
<v Speaker 1>to the Raw Women's Division would be a nice shot
<v Speaker 1>in the arm. Like I said earlier, she was doing
<v Speaker 1>some great stuff right there at the very end. And
<v Speaker 1>with the caution tape, proceed with caution, right? Well, Jada
<v Speaker 1>Parker did not proceed with caution tonight. She just fucking
<v Speaker 1>gunned it and ran down Fatu. But they're fucking with
<v Speaker 1>the Usos. They're fucking with the Bloodline and Jimmy and Jay.
<v Speaker 1>And so it would make sense if Naomi showed up
<v Speaker 1>to give them some female influence. Especially if they were
<v Speaker 1>going to build some sort of match. Maybe like a
<v Speaker 1>mixed tag match of some kind. Can you imagine a
<v Speaker 1>War Games match? Where one of the spots on both
<v Speaker 1>sides were occupied by, let's say, Jada Parker on one
<v Speaker 1>side and Naomi on the other. And it's WWE, so
<v Speaker 1>they're never going to allow the women to get bumped
<v Speaker 1>by the men. They'll allow the women to attack the
<v Speaker 1>men or jump on their back or slap them and
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, right? They're not going to wrestle each other.
<v Speaker 1>But if you kept it just to the two women,
<v Speaker 1>why not? That would be different, right? If you're going
<v Speaker 1>to do, pretty much resign to this point, to the
<v Speaker 1>idea that we're definitely going to get OTM and Royce
<v Speaker 1>Keys and whoever else may end up joining the group
<v Speaker 1>and maybe Jada. as part of a war games match
<v Speaker 1>at survivor series, right? It's not going to be, you know,
<v Speaker 1>the WWE championship defended in war games. It's probably just
<v Speaker 1>going to be the bloodline as it always is in
<v Speaker 1>war games. So why not? Why not let them in
<v Speaker 1>the war games match, you know, have a woman on
<v Speaker 1>one side, a woman on the other and let them
<v Speaker 1>go at it. So I would love to see Naomi back, uh,
<v Speaker 1>whether it's in this spot or a different role, but
<v Speaker 1>this would seem like the prime position for her to
<v Speaker 1>make her return to hopefully playing the same character that
<v Speaker 1>she was playing before she left. So it was a
<v Speaker 1>very well-done angle here at the end of the show
<v Speaker 1>that makes me want to tune into the show next
<v Speaker 1>week to see what the follow-up is going to be.
<v Speaker 1>And to me, that's what you want. When you're a
<v Speaker 1>show-closing angle like this, Jada goes heel. She's the newest
<v Speaker 1>addition out of Monday night raw. She's part of this crew.
<v Speaker 1>Jacob got run down by a car, the brawl itself,
<v Speaker 1>you know, and cutting to different parts of the building
<v Speaker 1>where they were all fighting and everything. It was this,
<v Speaker 1>you know, just chaotic ending that keeps you wanting more.
<v Speaker 1>We don't get enough of that on this show. You
<v Speaker 1>can't do an angle like this every, even in the
<v Speaker 1>attitude era. It's not like, like people were getting run
<v Speaker 1>down by cars, but not every fucking week. So this
<v Speaker 1>is not the sort of thing you're going to be
<v Speaker 1>able to do every Monday because But I just feel
<v Speaker 1>like we don't get enough of this. This is the
<v Speaker 1>sort of TV that we need to get more of
<v Speaker 1>with these big angles that keep you wanting to tune
<v Speaker 1>back in to see what the hell's going to happen next.
<v Speaker 1>Instead of feeling like, okay, it's the same shit all
<v Speaker 1>the time. Or it's some boring promo or contract signing
<v Speaker 1>because we don't get enough of those, right? Less of that,
<v Speaker 1>more of this type of thing. More of this type
<v Speaker 1>of chaos. You know, would be a welcome change here
<v Speaker 1>on the show. And then there's a couple of other
<v Speaker 1>questions that come out of this. Namely, when does Solo
<v Speaker 1>Sokoa show up again? It would seem to me like
<v Speaker 1>the next time we see him very likely would be
<v Speaker 1>at Money in the Bank. If so, does he help
<v Speaker 1>LA Knight, his boy, beat Roman to win the World
<v Speaker 1>Heavyweight Championship? Or do they do the big swerve? And
<v Speaker 1>is Solo Sokoa going to end up with 946? Instead
<v Speaker 1>of going back to the family, which he's been very
<v Speaker 1>resistant to doing, is he going to end up with 946? Now, yes,
<v Speaker 1>they've beaten him up, but they haven't run him over
<v Speaker 1>with a car. They actually let him go last week
<v Speaker 1>after they abducted him. So, yeah, he had some bruises
<v Speaker 1>on his face. They haven't exactly done anything too terribly
<v Speaker 1>extreme to him. So it's always possible that he may
<v Speaker 1>end up with them. Roman. Is Roman going to get
<v Speaker 1>screwed over by 9-4-6 at Money in the Bank? Is
<v Speaker 1>that how he loses the World Heavyweight Championship? Is LA
<v Speaker 1>Knight going to actually win the world title because 9-4-6
<v Speaker 1>costs Roman? That's the last bit of, I mean, I
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what you would call it, I guess
<v Speaker 1>the last insult to the bloodline that really gets under
<v Speaker 1>their skin. and leads to the eventual war games match.
<v Speaker 1>Because what has Roman been saying? He's been telling the
<v Speaker 1>other guys, he's been telling Fatu, this is not my fight.
<v Speaker 1>This is your fight. You know that guy. He's not family.
<v Speaker 1>So you deal with it. This has no impact on me, right?
<v Speaker 1>Except it does. Because his captains that he anointed with
<v Speaker 1>the Ula Falas are being taken out, right, by this crew.
<v Speaker 1>And now if they fuck with Roman, and they do
<v Speaker 1>anything to jeopardize that World Heavyweight Championship run, Now you
<v Speaker 1>have his attention, right? Now, all of a sudden, Roman
<v Speaker 1>is very much involved. And he's got no choice but
<v Speaker 1>to get involved and to go to war. It's possible.
<v Speaker 1>Because the 9-4-6 stuff is now the big angle on
<v Speaker 1>Monday nights. They're going all in on this. Which is great,
<v Speaker 1>by the way, for Hobbs. I mean, whatever you think
<v Speaker 1>of the 9-4-6 group, I think it's very cool that
<v Speaker 1>they finally found a role for him. He's in a
<v Speaker 1>main event prime position now on Monday nights. He's going
<v Speaker 1>to be working with Roman Reigns. He's working with all
<v Speaker 1>these guys. He's in the show-closing angle almost every week.
<v Speaker 1>Good for him. Good for him. There was some question
<v Speaker 1>after that initial debut at the Rumble, and then they
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything with him there for a while. But
<v Speaker 1>there were some questions about, okay, is this going to work?
<v Speaker 1>Is he going to have success on the main roster?
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, maybe it's still too early to
<v Speaker 1>say for sure, but this is a very encouraging sign
<v Speaker 1>that they trust him enough to be in this position.
<v Speaker 1>So if you're a Powerhouse Hobbs fan, You should be
<v Speaker 1>very pleased with what they're doing with him. If you're
<v Speaker 1>a Jada Parker fan, you should be very happy that
<v Speaker 1>she's now gotten the call-up to the main roster. So
<v Speaker 1>there are things to look at here with this angle,
<v Speaker 1>even if I am tired of a lot of the
<v Speaker 1>bloodline stuff. There are glimmers of hope. There are positive
<v Speaker 1>things to take away from this. They have a good
<v Speaker 1>story going here with this crew. Let's see where it
<v Speaker 1>goes next week. Roman is back next week. He returns again.
<v Speaker 1>I've lost track. But this is yet another Roman Reigns
<v Speaker 1>return as they advertised it. So he'll be on that
<v Speaker 1>go-home episode of Raw. He'll have some sort of confrontation
<v Speaker 1>with LA Knight. They'll both be in the building. And yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that'll be the last Raw before we get to Money
<v Speaker 1>in the Bank. It's coming up pretty quick. I like
<v Speaker 1>this Raw. I thought on the whole this was a
<v Speaker 1>good show with a great angle to close out the night.
<v Speaker 1>Which I was happy we got. Especially after the... Very sad,
<v Speaker 1>depressing day that we had. It was good to get
<v Speaker 1>a good wrestling show here. Now, I noticed that we
<v Speaker 1>hit the bonus goal, and we had somebody cash in before,
<v Speaker 1>and we are currently sitting at 471 likes, which, if
<v Speaker 1>your math is a little fuzzy, 471 is higher than 465,
<v Speaker 1>which means we are getting three rounds. We are getting
<v Speaker 1>three rounds tonight, just like that. We went from zero
<v Speaker 1>to three. We went from zero to 60, like Jada
<v Speaker 1>Parker did on Jacob Fatu. I like it. Actually, I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to set a new goal just for shits and
<v Speaker 1>giggles in the event that maybe we end up with
<v Speaker 1>a round four. You never know with these things. But
<v Speaker 1>before we do all that, let's go to your Super Chats.
<v Speaker 1>And read your messages and your comments and your questions.
<v Speaker 1>And then we got some Be The Booker to get to.
<v Speaker 1>I like it. Hey, Indominus Flex, welcome to the channel, brother. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot of new subscribers over the last
<v Speaker 1>few days. So I want to welcome all of our
<v Speaker 1>new subs. I hope you enjoy your stay. All gas,
<v Speaker 1>no brakes on Be The Booker. Yes, it is. It
<v Speaker 1>is all gas, no brakes. Noah Kirby, with a $ 5
<v Speaker 1>Super Chat, says, since Jada was listening to Racing Queen
<v Speaker 1>as she drove. Man, she was blasting that stuff. The
<v Speaker 1>windows rolled up. Noah says, since Russo is no longer
<v Speaker 1>with JCW, do you think we see him in wrestling
<v Speaker 1>ever again? I would be fine if the answer was no.
<v Speaker 1>Don't really care for it. Hey, Andre, thank you, brother.
<v Speaker 1>Death Scythe. starting to think all out is cursed Matt
<v Speaker 1>Hardy got concussed brawl out Stephen Borden got injured and
<v Speaker 1>now pack is no longer with us rest in peace
<v Speaker 1>pack not really sure what that has to do with
<v Speaker 1>all out you know he was fine on Saturday says
<v Speaker 1>I don't drink Newcastle brown ale but tonight I'm drinking
<v Speaker 1>one in his honor to pack From Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Bossmo
<v Speaker 1>Jackson says, What's up, my brother, the solid monster? I
<v Speaker 1>have to say I'm sorry about the loss of Neville
<v Speaker 1>slash Pac. He will be missed. Very much so. A
<v Speaker 1>lot of wrestlers and people in the industry in mourning today.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of fans, too. Uh, it says, I'm going
<v Speaker 1>to assume Mrs. Parker is a new signing. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>think it's pretty safe to say after what we saw
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the show that she is on
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Raw now. That's a pretty safe bet. Uh,
<v Speaker 1>Crazy with a five. I'm at a loss for words
<v Speaker 1>about this tragedy. I've always liked Pac, and it is
<v Speaker 1>surreal that he was found just miles away from my job.
<v Speaker 1>Rest easy, Ben. Apparently, uh, It wasn't too far from
<v Speaker 1>the airport there that he was found in his car.
<v Speaker 1>PrinceVegeta95 with a 999. Rest in peace to Pac slash Neville.
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite AEW matches was him against Kenny
<v Speaker 1>Omega in that 30-minute Iron Man match on Dynamite. Should
<v Speaker 1>have been AEW World Champion in the early years of
<v Speaker 1>the company. That was a great match. That was in
<v Speaker 1>the early days of Dynamite. Bossmo Jackson, I'm not a
<v Speaker 1>fan of suicide dives. I've seen Sasha Banks do the
<v Speaker 1>move at least three times where she almost broke her neck.
<v Speaker 1>Everybody doesn't need to do the move. I've only been
<v Speaker 1>saying that for, what, five years now? They don't listen.
<v Speaker 1>Robbie H5, so Salamonster, am I still wrong about what
<v Speaker 1>I said about Cass last week, or does he have
<v Speaker 1>to lose clean two or three more times? I don't
<v Speaker 1>remember exactly what you said or how you phrased it,
<v Speaker 1>but if it was about him being buried or him being,
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever word you may have used, no, it's
<v Speaker 1>too soon to say something like that just because he
<v Speaker 1>lost two matches. Like, that's literally all he lost. There
<v Speaker 1>was a triple threat match, right? For Money in the Bank.
<v Speaker 1>And there was this. And then a couple of weeks
<v Speaker 1>before that, he had beaten Javon Evans. Evans got his
<v Speaker 1>revenge in the three-way match. And then this was the
<v Speaker 1>shock loss to Dragon Lee tonight. This is one of
<v Speaker 1>those situations where you have to let it play out
<v Speaker 1>a little bit longer before you can make a determination
<v Speaker 1>like that. Again, sometimes people are very, very quick They're
<v Speaker 1>very trigger happy and they're very quick to pull the
<v Speaker 1>trigger and say, oh, that's it. You know, he's done.
<v Speaker 1>He's buried. He's this. He's that. There's no coming back
<v Speaker 1>from that. Maybe we get there. We're not there yet.
<v Speaker 1>We're not there yet. Maybe he shows up next week
<v Speaker 1>and fucking destroys half the roster. Right. You don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Bosmo Jackson, so McDonough is a Funko Pop. Yep, they're
<v Speaker 1>trying to get that over. Two thumbs up, he says,
<v Speaker 1>for the ending of Raw. Tommy Colella, rest in peace
<v Speaker 1>to Pac slash Neville and Dennis Haskins. Mr. Belding. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was a bummer. That was a bummer. He was
<v Speaker 1>a big wrestling fan. Really enjoyed it. I gotta say,
<v Speaker 1>now that I think back to him talking about how
<v Speaker 1>he almost ended up getting a role on the show,
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of bummed we never got Mr. Belding the GM. Mr.
<v Speaker 1>Belding the GM would have been better than Mike Adam
<v Speaker 1>Lee the GM. Can you imagine two wrestlers misbehaving and
<v Speaker 1>then he goes, in my office now. I know only
<v Speaker 1>a small portion of the audience would have understood the reference,
<v Speaker 1>but I would have gotten the reference, and that's all
<v Speaker 1>I care about. As long as it entertains me, that's
<v Speaker 1>all that really matters. Dethronic78, get ready for that Tamina
<v Speaker 1>Snooker return. 946 and Jada versus the Usos, Jacob, and
<v Speaker 1>Tamina at War Games. I think you misspoke, and you
<v Speaker 1>meant to say Naomi. I'm going to assume you misspoke
<v Speaker 1>when you said that. We got Robotoaster with a 999.
<v Speaker 1>Heart goes out to everyone affected by the loss of Pac.
<v Speaker 1>Seeing how United wrestling fans have been in the last
<v Speaker 1>24 hours shows that we should always be united no
<v Speaker 1>matter what company a wrestler works for well unfortunately I
<v Speaker 1>can't say everybody there have been a lot of dumb
<v Speaker 1>shit comments as well for the most part people have
<v Speaker 1>been very civil and very respectful but there have been
<v Speaker 1>some idiots out there they are to be ignored Andre
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson with a 20. My condolences to Pack and his
<v Speaker 1>family and friends. May he rest in peace. My question
<v Speaker 1>to you is, do you think the Death Riders should continue?
<v Speaker 1>I know no matter what, there will be major changes
<v Speaker 1>to the booking after this. I think it's way too
<v Speaker 1>soon to even be talking about that. So, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's going to be some sort of tribute
<v Speaker 1>from them on Wednesday after Pac, for his matches, he
<v Speaker 1>would do this thing where he would be sitting in
<v Speaker 1>a chair in the crowd and then would get up,
<v Speaker 1>towel around the neck, and he would make his way
<v Speaker 1>down to the ring. I can imagine them just having
<v Speaker 1>an empty chair there or something. It's going to be
<v Speaker 1>very sad watching that. It was very clear from watching
<v Speaker 1>the television that they were building to something with the
<v Speaker 1>Death Riders as far as Pac and Moxley because Pac
<v Speaker 1>has been very disapproving of some of the things that
<v Speaker 1>Moxley has done mainly the Osprey stuff and I thought
<v Speaker 1>that was going somewhere and you know clearly it was
<v Speaker 1>leading to something with the United Empire and the Death
<v Speaker 1>Riders I think of blood and guts and look they
<v Speaker 1>still have enough members to make it make it work
<v Speaker 1>you just put Gabe Kidd in that spot but it's
<v Speaker 1>let's let's get to Wednesday first and see the tribute
<v Speaker 1>show before we start worrying about where the storyline is
<v Speaker 1>gonna go I don't really feel I don't know. It
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel appropriate to talk about that just yet. Clone Force.
<v Speaker 1>Rest in peace to Pac and Rick the Sign Guy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Rick Ackberger. Sign Guy Rick passed away as well. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I noticed something before in the chat.
<v Speaker 1>I meant to say something at the beginning. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if he's still with us or not. but our
<v Speaker 1>friend Luis lost his mother a few days ago. I
<v Speaker 1>believe he said that she was 59. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>the circumstances around it. I don't know if that was
<v Speaker 1>something that was expected, if she was sick, if this
<v Speaker 1>was a sudden thing, but wherever Luis is, my condolences
<v Speaker 1>to you. We are all thinking about you, brother. That
<v Speaker 1>is horrible, and I'm very sorry to hear that. There's
<v Speaker 1>too much death and grief. recently I know people die
<v Speaker 1>every day but I don't know it just feels like
<v Speaker 1>in this little world this little community here there's been
<v Speaker 1>far too much of it lately uh mvk my condolences
<v Speaker 1>to the family of pack this is uh I tell
<v Speaker 1>you solo I didn't want to believe 40 is too
<v Speaker 1>young end of 2026 it's becoming a real bummer it
<v Speaker 1>is As I tell you so long, WWE loves vehicular manslaughter.
<v Speaker 1>Blood with Miss Parker here. I can't be the only
<v Speaker 1>one feeling Naomi is on her way back. Yeah, that
<v Speaker 1>was my thought. They're going to need somebody to sort
<v Speaker 1>of counteract her. She's the one that would make sense.
<v Speaker 1>Prince Vegeta. Was Jacob Fatu this much of a cartoon
<v Speaker 1>character in HOG? He was definitely not a cartoon character
<v Speaker 1>in MLW or HOG. And I don't want to call
<v Speaker 1>him a cartoon character now, but you're not completely off
<v Speaker 1>base when you say that. Because it's just the way
<v Speaker 1>sometimes he acts and saying the same lines over and over.
<v Speaker 1>Was he like that pre-WWE? No. No, he was not.
<v Speaker 1>Femi Williams. In one night, Jada Parker has been booked
<v Speaker 1>stronger and better on Raw than her entire NXT run.
<v Speaker 1>So is this going to be one of those rare
<v Speaker 1>times where Triple H gets the praise over Shawn Michaels?
<v Speaker 1>Usually it's the other way around. The Winston Slip. Who
<v Speaker 1>should have run over Austin? Big Show or Angled? I
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have had anybody run over Stone Cold. Boomerang, how
<v Speaker 1>long before Jada proceeds with caution? Not too long. Sports
<v Speaker 1>Talk with Jose Rodriguez. She did it for J. Also,
<v Speaker 1>RIP Pac. Hey, Jose, thank you, man. Jojo Feather. Says R.I.P. Pack. R.B.
<v Speaker 1>Lola vs. Stephanie vs. Jada. Equals the Bukkake Ghost. They'll
<v Speaker 1>be ghosts flying around alright. Making those same noises that
<v Speaker 1>the ghost makes. Or the... Or the Costco cookie guy
<v Speaker 1>from that $ 60 Super Chat. Broly7 with the $ 4. 99. Happy
<v Speaker 1>that Dragon Lee and Phoenix got over in the back
<v Speaker 1>and gained their trust that they are now on weekly shows. Also,
<v Speaker 1>Javon is as over as Trick or more. Yeah, a
<v Speaker 1>lot of the younger guys and newer faces are getting
<v Speaker 1>over slowly and coming along nicely, which is good to see. But,
<v Speaker 1>you know, the key is always in the follow-up and,
<v Speaker 1>you know, what kind of stories you can come up
<v Speaker 1>with for them. You still have to, you know, use
<v Speaker 1>them properly. Otherwise, all of that can fade away very easily.
<v Speaker 1>Booking is very, very important. DudeHere73 with a 1992. Still
<v Speaker 1>shocked at the news of Pac's passing. I remember seeing
<v Speaker 1>him for the first time in NXT and thinking, this
<v Speaker 1>dude is incredible. And his red arrow finisher was a
<v Speaker 1>thing of beauty. Rest in peace, Benjamin Satterly. One of
<v Speaker 1>the prettiest finishers ever in all of wrestling. Still don't
<v Speaker 1>quite know how one jumps. It's not even that he
<v Speaker 1>jumped up into the air to get maximum height and
<v Speaker 1>just twisted and contorted his body. The level of control,
<v Speaker 1>body control that you have to have to not only
<v Speaker 1>not hurt yourself, but not kill your opponent when you land.
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't get enough credit for that. We all watch
<v Speaker 1>it on TV, and after a while it's like old hat,
<v Speaker 1>but it's so hard to pull that off as easily
<v Speaker 1>as he did. He made it look effortless every single
<v Speaker 1>time he did it. HBKC83, glad Jacob got action, thought
<v Speaker 1>he retired for a second. It did start to feel
<v Speaker 1>that way, didn't it? Bobbert reviews with that $ 60 cookie
<v Speaker 1>crunch super chat no message was necessary let's be honest
<v Speaker 1>after what we heard there hey Bobbert thank you Bobbert
<v Speaker 1>single handedly got us one full bonus round he cashed
<v Speaker 1>in the be the booker briefcase abyssal zones odds that
<v Speaker 1>LA Knight joins 946 on or after money in the
<v Speaker 1>best see okay so that's another theory that I've heard
<v Speaker 1>That intrigues me. I don't hate that idea. I actually
<v Speaker 1>like that idea. I like the idea potentially of L.A. Knight.
<v Speaker 1>He would have to win the World Heavyweight title. But L.A.
<v Speaker 1>Knight winning the World Heavyweight title. And we come to
<v Speaker 1>find out that he is the leader. Or at least
<v Speaker 1>in cahoots with 9-4-6. I like it. I do. I
<v Speaker 1>really like that idea. Fire Panda with the $ 70 Canadian.
<v Speaker 1>Read the message earlier, but Fire Panda is awesome and
<v Speaker 1>worth a second shout out here. Thank you for the love.
<v Speaker 1>Very much appreciated. I hope you are doing well. Don't
<v Speaker 1>be a stranger. Yukio Rules. Glad you enjoyed the Jey
<v Speaker 1>Uso animated video. Shout out to the person who made,
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had the name of the channel in
<v Speaker 1>front of me, but I think it was embedded in
<v Speaker 1>the video, I believe. I know the guy has other
<v Speaker 1>animations like that on his channel. Jamie Dorsch, when did
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker start using the gesture signaling for the tombstone? The
<v Speaker 1>earliest I can remember seeing him do the throat slash,
<v Speaker 1>I want to say it was 96. He might have.
<v Speaker 1>It's possible he was doing it earlier. For sure, though,
<v Speaker 1>he was at the very least, he was doing it
<v Speaker 1>in 96. He might have been doing it even a
<v Speaker 1>little bit earlier than that. Steve Mello it's our friend
<v Speaker 1>Steve have you seen the video of Eddie Kingston talking
<v Speaker 1>about PACC So sad. Another reminder to always tell the
<v Speaker 1>ones you love that you love them every day. I
<v Speaker 1>have not seen it. And I feel like that's just
<v Speaker 1>going to break me. Because I saw the video of
<v Speaker 1>him talking about Butcher. This was only a few weeks ago.
<v Speaker 1>And that was very emotional. I can only imagine what
<v Speaker 1>this video must look like. So no, I have not
<v Speaker 1>seen the video of him talking about Pac. He's lost
<v Speaker 1>a lot of friends in wrestling. Eddie has been around
<v Speaker 1>long enough where he's lost a lot of people that
<v Speaker 1>were close to him. I don't know how close he
<v Speaker 1>and Pac were. Maybe he talks about it in the video.
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for everybody who knew him and loved
<v Speaker 1>him and was friendly with him and traveled with him.
<v Speaker 1>Chris Mikesell with a $ 9. 99. Who was your favorite Owen
<v Speaker 1>Hart tag team partner with the tag team titles? Yoko Zuna,
<v Speaker 1>Davey Boy, or Jeff Jarrett? Can you explain why he
<v Speaker 1>was paired with Yoko and Jarrett? I don't know why
<v Speaker 1>he and Jarrett were paired. It was probably just a
<v Speaker 1>creative thing where they didn't have anything else for them
<v Speaker 1>to do, and they brought them together. With Yoko, I
<v Speaker 1>think it was just a way to reintroduce Yoko where
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have to do singles because his weight was
<v Speaker 1>getting really bad. And I think as much as anything,
<v Speaker 1>putting him in tags was just meant to save him
<v Speaker 1>from having to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
<v Speaker 1>But the best partner, though, would have been Davey Boy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Owen and Bulldog were the best team of the three.
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rose with a 10. Gotta love how 946 is
<v Speaker 1>just destroying this family. The tribal chief rarely shows up.
<v Speaker 1>And when he does, he doesn't do anything about this.
<v Speaker 1>He's only worried about his title and who's going to
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge him. Because he's a dick. That's why. I hope
<v Speaker 1>people are waking up to this fact. This Roman Reigns character,
<v Speaker 1>he's a real asshole. He's selfish. MGM Ballin... RIP Pac.
<v Speaker 1>Still numb from the news. Never felt as shocked as
<v Speaker 1>I did when I saw on my phone last night.
<v Speaker 1>On a lighter note, there might be a team called Bakusai,
<v Speaker 1>but Lola vs. Roxanne has plenty of Bakusai. Yes. I
<v Speaker 1>think people would rather see that than the actual Bakusai.
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rose, Money in the Bank can be a great PLE.
<v Speaker 1>I know it's going to be a dud. Why do
<v Speaker 1>you feel it's going to be? I don't feel it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be a dud. I don't know if it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be great, but I don't get the sense
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a dud. I like, for the
<v Speaker 1>most part, what they've done with the fields for the
<v Speaker 1>Money in the Bank ladder matches. I like that LA
<v Speaker 1>Knight is getting a title match, even though I just
<v Speaker 1>have very little confidence of them actually changing the title.
<v Speaker 1>And I like them doing Oba and Bronson Reed, so
<v Speaker 1>I think it looks like a pretty good card so far.
<v Speaker 1>Andre Jefferson, 9-4-6, is going to need Clarence Mason. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>what's he up to these days? I wonder. Chris Ortiz,
<v Speaker 1>the CO-92. So Shelly Martinez thinks Janelle Grant has an
<v Speaker 1>agenda against Vince McMahon and thinks she's A radical communist
<v Speaker 1>trying to cancel Vince. Is Shelly, I'm trying to think,
<v Speaker 1>was it Shelly Martinez or somebody else that I'm thinking
<v Speaker 1>of who made the comment? No, it wasn't Shelly Martinez.
<v Speaker 1>It was, oh God, who was it? She used to
<v Speaker 1>work for AEW. Sarah Stock. Okay, so that's different. Sarah
<v Speaker 1>Stock was the one who made, she was responding to
<v Speaker 1>people on social media and made the comment, because people
<v Speaker 1>were like well Vince has been accused of all these
<v Speaker 1>horrible things and she was like well he was always
<v Speaker 1>nice to me so that's all that matters which was
<v Speaker 1>a really tone deaf just fucking dumb thing for her
<v Speaker 1>to say and the way she said it this is
<v Speaker 1>the first I'm hearing of the Shelly Martinez comments and
<v Speaker 1>I don't really personally give a shit what Shelly Martinez
<v Speaker 1>has to say so yeah I don't put a whole
<v Speaker 1>lot of stock in what she has to say about
<v Speaker 1>anything so That's my thoughts on that. We have... We
<v Speaker 1>have here, SuperCamFit, arson, kidnapping, attempted murder. Oh my. 946. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>what crime will they commit next? We have arson. We
<v Speaker 1>have kidnapping. We have attempted vehicular homicide, or would it
<v Speaker 1>be manslaughter? I don't know. I mean, they tried to
<v Speaker 1>kill the guy, so... What's next? Maybe they'll get brought
<v Speaker 1>up on Ricoh charges or something. I don't know. Watch Addict.
<v Speaker 1>Says a very heartfelt video yesterday. RIP PAC. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to just say a few quick words. I
<v Speaker 1>knew I was going to talk about it more on Tuesday,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure we'll talk about it, obviously, on TNT
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night. But, you know. Just wanted to say a
<v Speaker 1>few words and just share some of my favorite, you know,
<v Speaker 1>pack matches and moments and memories. Going back to the
<v Speaker 1>NXT days and just leave it open in the comments
<v Speaker 1>for other people to chime in. You know, and they have.
<v Speaker 1>And they've shared some very nice comments in there. Over 100,000 strong.
<v Speaker 1>So if you didn't see the video, it's up right
<v Speaker 1>now on the channel. You can check it out after.
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy says, it will be a dud because of triple
<v Speaker 1>safe booking. Well, let's hope. Let's hope. Let's hope that
<v Speaker 1>that's not the case. There are some things that I
<v Speaker 1>am optimistic about. Some things I gave up on long ago.
<v Speaker 1>But there are some things I have to be optimistic
<v Speaker 1>that this money in the bank card is going to
<v Speaker 1>be a fun show. Again, like I said, they've set
<v Speaker 1>things up well with the people that have qualified for
<v Speaker 1>the ladder matches so far. So that's one thing I like.
<v Speaker 1>Can they fuck it up? Oh, you bet they can. Absolutely.
<v Speaker 1>But I'm cautiously optimistic. And Brian Alex think Triple H
<v Speaker 1>was driving just as HBK and Austin. Well, see, the
<v Speaker 1>difference now, though, is that Triple H is booking the show.
<v Speaker 1>So why would he want to take out one of
<v Speaker 1>his star attractions on the show? See, that wouldn't really
<v Speaker 1>make any sense. All right, we got three rounds. Can
<v Speaker 1>you believe it? Three rounds of Be The Booker coming
<v Speaker 1>our way right now. So let's gear up. It's time
<v Speaker 1>to do some booking. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now
<v Speaker 1>time to Be The Booker. Here we go. Take Raw tonight,
<v Speaker 1>for example. I enjoyed this Raw show. Even though there
<v Speaker 1>are many weeks where I have no reason to enjoy Raw.
<v Speaker 1>Raw can be a very boring show, although I'll take
<v Speaker 1>Raw over SmackDown. But sometimes when they put together what
<v Speaker 1>looks to be an attractive card, I'm optimistic. Alright, here
<v Speaker 1>we go. We have the Ultimate Maniacs kicking us off.
<v Speaker 1>Macho Man Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior, who was
<v Speaker 1>in fact a maniac. Actually, they both were maniacs. It
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a very appropriate team name. As much
<v Speaker 1>of a maniac as the Warrior was, I mean, let's
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I love Macho Man to death, but the
<v Speaker 1>guy was a fucking maniac. He was a lunatic. But
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a tough team to beat. They're
<v Speaker 1>going to be taking on the fabulous Rougeau brothers, Jacques
<v Speaker 1>and Raymond. They're all American boys. I used to love this.
<v Speaker 1>They have little American flags they would wave around. Talk
<v Speaker 1>about how they love listening to Barry Manilow. See, we're
<v Speaker 1>just like you. We're a bunch of American boys. Rougeau
<v Speaker 1>brothers were an underrated tag team. You don't hear their
<v Speaker 1>names mentioned a lot when... I'm not saying they're like
<v Speaker 1>the best tag team of all time, but I still
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're a very underrated tag team. We have Victoria.
<v Speaker 1>Is she in the WWE Hall of Fame? She's not, right?
<v Speaker 1>She's still not in the Hall of Fame. Puzzling to me. Victoria.
<v Speaker 1>It's going to go one-on-one with Natalya. Meiko Sadomura. The
<v Speaker 1>legendary Meiko Sadomura. Who just retired not that long ago.
<v Speaker 1>Although I assume she's still running her promotion. Was it
<v Speaker 1>Sendai Girls? I believe she's still running that. This is
<v Speaker 1>a three-night extravaganza. So this is our main event for
<v Speaker 1>night number one. We have Roosh is in the main event.
<v Speaker 1>Because when you mess with the bull, you get the herns.
<v Speaker 1>Who's getting the herns? You're in this main event. Big
<v Speaker 1>Bronson Reed. Bronson, Reed, and Roosh could be a main
<v Speaker 1>event on my show any month. That's our night one
<v Speaker 1>main event. We got two more nights. I like that match.
<v Speaker 1>Although Bronson's not quite as big as he used to
<v Speaker 1>be in this image here. It's a little bit smaller now.
<v Speaker 1>All right, so now round number two. After that first
<v Speaker 1>clean sweep, We begin round number two with stipulations. Every
<v Speaker 1>match from here on out will have a stipulation attached
<v Speaker 1>to it. So that's how it works with the bonus rounds.
<v Speaker 1>We're looking for a three-for-three triple sweep tonight. Our first
<v Speaker 1>match is going to be Falls Count Anywhere. And as
<v Speaker 1>you can see in this image, this is when matches
<v Speaker 1>really lived up to the stipulation because these two men
<v Speaker 1>are brawling in the Mississippi River. This was from the St.
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day Massacre pay-per-view. They're in the fucking Mississippi River.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want out of my Falls Count Anywhere matches.
<v Speaker 1>A true Falls Count Anywhere match. In this one, we
<v Speaker 1>have Ricky Saints. Ricky Saints is not going to be
<v Speaker 1>too happy, I think, about Ray Phoenix saying that he's
<v Speaker 1>going to defend that Cruiserweight Championship across all brands when
<v Speaker 1>he was looking to get another shot. Doesn't look good
<v Speaker 1>for him. Balls count anywhere between Ricky and The Undertaker.
<v Speaker 1>But not just any Undertaker. It is Ministry Undertaker. I
<v Speaker 1>very easily could have given that the buzzer. I don't
<v Speaker 1>like Ministry Undertaker. It's my least favorite version of The Undertaker.
<v Speaker 1>That Ministry shit. Funny enough, I think Undertaker and Ricky
<v Speaker 1>are actually pretty good friends. All right, match number two.
<v Speaker 1>For round number two. It is a squash match, but still.
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker and Ricky in a Falls Count Anywhere match I
<v Speaker 1>think could be a lot of fun. All right, we
<v Speaker 1>got Full Metal Mayhem. Oh, boy. We got to do
<v Speaker 1>a tag match here. This is going to be a
<v Speaker 1>tag team match. Full Metal Mayhem. Anything goes. All kinds
<v Speaker 1>of weapons and foreign objects. Oh, this is right up there, Allie. What,
<v Speaker 1>are you kidding me? JBL and Farouk. Or Bradshaw. This
<v Speaker 1>is before JBL. Bradshaw and Farouk. The APA. Full Metal Mayhem?
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll do well here. Let's get a drumroll
<v Speaker 1>for this. Yeah, that's the funny thing. As much as
<v Speaker 1>I dislike the Ministry character, I think Ministry Undertaker probably
<v Speaker 1>had the best Undertaker entrance music. APA is going to
<v Speaker 1>be facing Brian Kendrick and Paul London in a full
<v Speaker 1>metal mayhem match. Boy, these two poor bastards here don't
<v Speaker 1>know what they're in for. They're going to be bumping
<v Speaker 1>their asses off in this match. Oh, man. London and Kendrick.
<v Speaker 1>And we're going to finish things off here with an
<v Speaker 1>intergender match. Maybe we'll get a little bit of an
<v Speaker 1>intergender match in the War Games match this year. Survivor Series.
<v Speaker 1>That'd be nice. Okay. One lady and one guy. Here
<v Speaker 1>we go. What kind of interesting match can we put
<v Speaker 1>together here? These are always very interesting because you never
<v Speaker 1>know how this is going to go. AJ Lee. came
<v Speaker 1>back and then she disappeared again AJ Lee is a
<v Speaker 1>tiny woman though this is potentially going to be a
<v Speaker 1>very bad situation for AJ Lee AJ Lee is going
<v Speaker 1>to be going one on one with the Rainmaker Kazuchika
<v Speaker 1>Okada it's going to look AJ dead in the eye
<v Speaker 1>probably call her a bitch everyone's going to laugh Okada
<v Speaker 1>is great. Okada, he's going to rainmaker the shit out
<v Speaker 1>of her, isn't he? He's going to... He's not going
<v Speaker 1>to hold back. Okada and AJ Lee. See, it's the
<v Speaker 1>match that you never knew you needed to see. That
<v Speaker 1>is the match that you never... And so at the
<v Speaker 1>end of it, Punk will come out. And that is
<v Speaker 1>how you branch off into a feud between Okada and Punk.
<v Speaker 1>That's how we get Punk and Okada. See, it all
<v Speaker 1>makes sense now. I don't know, guys. We're on our way.
<v Speaker 1>We're doing well. We got back-to-back sweeps. Double sweep. Double sweep.
<v Speaker 1>I'm saving the super special effect if we get three sweeps.
<v Speaker 1>ambulance match we are getting an ambulance match shove your
<v Speaker 1>opponent into the back of the ambulance and close the
<v Speaker 1>doors but now it has morphed wait a minute here
<v Speaker 1>we are now stacking stipulations this has now become a
<v Speaker 1>fatal four-way ambulance match which makes things even more interesting
<v Speaker 1>because now you got four people involved And the first
<v Speaker 1>person to take one of the other people and stuff
<v Speaker 1>them in the back of the ambulance is going to
<v Speaker 1>win the match. So now we've got to pick four guys.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my God. Has there ever in the history of
<v Speaker 1>wrestling been a four-way ambulance match? This might be a first.
<v Speaker 1>I think we're making history here in Be The Booker. Boy,
<v Speaker 1>Be The Booker really wants this to be a four-way match.
<v Speaker 1>You know, we could double that and now make it
<v Speaker 1>an eight-way, but I'm not going to do that. All right.
<v Speaker 1>Spin again. Fatal four-way ambulance match. Konosuke Takeshita is participant
<v Speaker 1>number one. Participant number two, Kurt Angle. Oh, my God.
<v Speaker 1>Can we just end the match here, please? Can we
<v Speaker 1>just bell this? I'm going to bell this right now.
<v Speaker 1>Because no matter what happens with these next two names,
<v Speaker 1>this is an automatic bell. Takeshita against Prime Kurt Angle.
<v Speaker 1>Can you even imagine what that match would look like? Oh,
<v Speaker 1>their poor necks. The abuse their necks will take. Okada.
<v Speaker 1>Not Okada. Takeshita. Angle. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. This just
<v Speaker 1>gets better and better. This may end up being the
<v Speaker 1>greatest match of all time. This may legitimately end up
<v Speaker 1>being the greatest match that we've ever booked. We have
<v Speaker 1>Konosuke Takeshita. We have Kurt Angle. We have Ricky the
<v Speaker 1>Dragon Steamboat. All in the same match. Let's not fuck
<v Speaker 1>this up. We have one more name. We cannot fuck
<v Speaker 1>this up. Please. And Jacob Fatu. It did not get
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. It actually got even better. And that, my goodness,
<v Speaker 1>what a freaking match. Oh, my God. Takeshita Angle Steamboat
<v Speaker 1>and Fatu. Who you got? Who wins? Who wins? Remember,
<v Speaker 1>all it takes, you got to put one of your
<v Speaker 1>opponents in the back of the ambulance. That's it. It's
<v Speaker 1>like one fall to a finish. First person to do
<v Speaker 1>that wins. I don't know, man. I can't call. I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to go either. Man, that's tough. I would tend
<v Speaker 1>to go angle or far two for the winner. I
<v Speaker 1>think I'd go far two. think I would go far too.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that we're going to be able to
<v Speaker 1>top that. That's going to be impossible to top. 20-star match. Well,
<v Speaker 1>it'd be four and three-quarter stars because it's not in
<v Speaker 1>the Tokyo Dome. We have... Oh, this is one of
<v Speaker 1>our new stipulations. This is one of our new stipulations, everybody.
<v Speaker 1>We have... Yes, it is. The final deletion. Is this
<v Speaker 1>our first cinematic match that we're ever booking in Be
<v Speaker 1>The Booker? It might be. No, actually, I think we've
<v Speaker 1>landed on Firefly Funhouse before. I think... I'm pretty sure
<v Speaker 1>we have. So we're going to get a final deletion
<v Speaker 1>tag team match from the Hardy Compound. Cinematic style. Although
<v Speaker 1>the Hardys may not be involved in it. The British Bulldogs...
<v Speaker 1>divvy boy smith and the dynamite kid maybe the dynamite
<v Speaker 1>kid can be dumped into the lake of reincarnation so
<v Speaker 1>he could be reincarnated as not an asshole pick an
<v Speaker 1>opponent here the british bulldogs speaking of assholes they'll be
<v Speaker 1>taking on the two dudes with attitude the click Shawn
<v Speaker 1>Michaels and Big Daddy Cool. Diesel. In a final deletion match.
<v Speaker 1>That is, as the kids say, cinema. That would be cinema.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Kevin Nash, though, in a final deletion
<v Speaker 1>match at the Hardy Compound. Maybe at one point he
<v Speaker 1>transforms into Oz. Oz. in the old Oz costume again
<v Speaker 1>from WCW. Dynamite would kill Mike. Yeah, he would. Actually,
<v Speaker 1>Dynamite Kid would kill Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels would shit
<v Speaker 1>his pants if he had to go face-to-face with the
<v Speaker 1>Dynamite Kid. Final asshole match. It's the first ever final
<v Speaker 1>asshole match. Oh, I love it. Alright, we're down to
<v Speaker 1>the final one here. This is it. We got one
<v Speaker 1>match left to go for the triple sweep. It all
<v Speaker 1>comes down to this. Oh, that's good. Yes, Cam, that's
<v Speaker 1>very good. Nash would transform into Super Shredder. Then the
<v Speaker 1>match is over. Actually, no. Super Shredder, he committed suicide
<v Speaker 1>in the movie, though. Yeah. Hmm. I don't know. All right.
<v Speaker 1>Grave consequences. The best kind of casket match is a
<v Speaker 1>grave consequences match. There's going to be grave consequences for
<v Speaker 1>us if we fuck this up. We need one more,
<v Speaker 1>and we have a triple sweep here. All right, guys.
<v Speaker 1>Getting nervous here. I don't want to mess this up. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>my goodness. It is Big Boom AJ of the Costco guys.
<v Speaker 1>And there with him is Big Justice. See, I think
<v Speaker 1>Be The Booker likes to do this. I think it
<v Speaker 1>plays a sick joke. It's like, okay, you know what?
<v Speaker 1>We're going to string him along a little bit here,
<v Speaker 1>and then we're going to just hit him right between
<v Speaker 1>the eyes at the very end. The fucking Costco guys
<v Speaker 1>are in our main event. I've been thrown off course
<v Speaker 1>here so much, I don't even remember the stipulation that
<v Speaker 1>I just... Oh, grave consequences. Okay, I almost forgot the
<v Speaker 1>stipulation I just picked. But you know what? This could
<v Speaker 1>be salvaged. Depending on who the opponent is, they might
<v Speaker 1>destroy the Costco guys. Vato Sting. Vato Sting and Big
<v Speaker 1>Boom AJ, and I'm sorry to say, there will be
<v Speaker 1>no triple sweep. Unfortunate. In fact, I think that deserves...
<v Speaker 1>The loser anthem is what that deserves because we were
<v Speaker 1>this close. We were this close. And we just fucked
<v Speaker 1>it all up. And look, I love Vato's thing, but
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe if it was like classic
<v Speaker 1>old school Kane or, you know, something like that. Even
<v Speaker 1>Obafemi or someone like Brock Lesnar. Oh, my God. Brock,
<v Speaker 1>can you imagine that? Brock Lesnar. Picking up big justice
<v Speaker 1>for an F5. Into the casket. Well, look, don't let
<v Speaker 1>that take away from the fact that we booked the
<v Speaker 1>most incredible match we've ever booked before. Okay? With Takeshita
<v Speaker 1>and Kurt Angle and Ricky the Dragon Steamboat and Jacob Fatu.
<v Speaker 1>Let's focus on the positives. Let's just focus on that.
<v Speaker 1>Put that cookie down now. Oh, man. Hey, Blizzack, thank
<v Speaker 1>you for the $ 5. Good work on your pack vid.
<v Speaker 1>Will you be reviewing any of the Cornette side of
<v Speaker 1>the ring episodes? Any episodes you would like Cornette to address?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm going to review them because
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about a lot of this stuff before. I
<v Speaker 1>did a whole thing in one of my This Week
<v Speaker 1>in Wrestling History segments years ago about the Katie Vick incident.
<v Speaker 1>But for those of you who don't know, Jim Cornette
<v Speaker 1>has a new, it's kind of like an offshoot of
<v Speaker 1>Dark Side of the Ring on the Vice Sports YouTube channel.
<v Speaker 1>It's a miniseries. And they're like 10 or 11 minute videos.
<v Speaker 1>There's only one up so far. But he's going to
<v Speaker 1>be doing these short 10 minute videos on different Infamous
<v Speaker 1>segments on wrestling television shows over the years. So the
<v Speaker 1>first one was on Katie Vick. I did watch that earlier.
<v Speaker 1>And it brought back a lot of horrible memories of
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst angles in the history of wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>I've already talked about that angle before at length, so
<v Speaker 1>I don't really have anything to add to it. It
<v Speaker 1>was an enjoyable little episode, though. I might chime in
<v Speaker 1>on some other episodes that he does, depending on what
<v Speaker 1>he covers. Aaron, thank you for the $ 9. 99. Do you
<v Speaker 1>see a long-term shift in terms of men's and women's
<v Speaker 1>wrestling happening with most male top talent being over 40,
<v Speaker 1>most top female talent being 30 or younger, and higher
<v Speaker 1>rate of women coming out of NXT than men? I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if the over 40 on the men's side
<v Speaker 1>is really all that much of a shift. I feel
<v Speaker 1>like it's been that way for a while. They are
<v Speaker 1>making an effort to push newer faces, though. You see
<v Speaker 1>people like Trick and Javon and Oba all getting pretty
<v Speaker 1>strong pushes on TV. Penta's a little bit older, but
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of a time when, outside of Rey Mysterio,
<v Speaker 1>we've had lucha talent being pushed as hard or as
<v Speaker 1>much on television as we have now, especially with Penta.
<v Speaker 1>You know, you got Penta and Phoenix and Dragon Lee
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of other crossover occasionally with AAA stars. So,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are certain shifts that are happening in
<v Speaker 1>terms of that. The biggest shift, though, is the last
<v Speaker 1>thing you mentioned, which is there's definitely been a higher
<v Speaker 1>rate of women coming out of NXT. And Triple H
<v Speaker 1>made the comment on one of the Unreal episodes, it
<v Speaker 1>might have been from the first season, where I forgot
<v Speaker 1>whose match they were commenting on, but they were saying, like,
<v Speaker 1>the women that are coming out of the Performance Center,
<v Speaker 1>they're just light years ahead of a lot of the
<v Speaker 1>guys you know it's like for every you know one
<v Speaker 1>guy that might be ready to get called up from
<v Speaker 1>developmental they've got like two three four women that are
<v Speaker 1>just waiting for an opportunity that's been going on for
<v Speaker 1>a while now that that has been something that has
<v Speaker 1>been very noticeable and lady mourn Gunther killing the Costco
<v Speaker 1>guy as his kid watches and gets trash-talked would have
<v Speaker 1>been all-time heel work. Yeah, I think maybe if we
<v Speaker 1>would have landed on Gunther, that might have been a bell.
<v Speaker 1>Even Grayson Waller called it. Yeah, well, I mean, a
<v Speaker 1>work shoot has some shoot in it, and that would
<v Speaker 1>be a shoot. That's definitely something I've noticed. in the
<v Speaker 1>last few years. Hey Solo, since you are a commissioner,
<v Speaker 1>who would be on your Mount Rushmore of wrestling commissioners?
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there haven't been a lot of commissioners. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>there's been some commissioners, but if you're talking about as
<v Speaker 1>far as like authority figures, like presidents, commissioners, I guess GM.
<v Speaker 1>You want to throw GMs in there? You got to
<v Speaker 1>have Jack Tunney on there. You got to have on
<v Speaker 1>the take Tunney. He's got to be on that list somewhere, right?
<v Speaker 1>You got to etch his face into the mountains. But
<v Speaker 1>if you include general managers, I mean, there have been
<v Speaker 1>a lot of great GMs over the years. Bischoff in
<v Speaker 1>those early years of Raw. Right? Paul Heyman was another one.
<v Speaker 1>William Regal was a great one in NXT. Well, that's four, right?
<v Speaker 1>That's four right there. Who else? Hmm. I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Adam Pearce has been the GM on Raw now,
<v Speaker 1>or he's been an authority figure of some kind on
<v Speaker 1>WWE television for, fuck, man, like, long time. Many, many years,
<v Speaker 1>and I think he does a really good job. So,
<v Speaker 1>you know, he might have to be on there. My
<v Speaker 1>all-time favorite authority figure in wrestling is Dario Cueto from
<v Speaker 1>Lucha Underground. I don't know if you would count him, though.
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't a commissioner. He was the proprietor. That's what
<v Speaker 1>he called himself, the proprietor of Lucha Underground. I would
<v Speaker 1>definitely probably put him on there. I would put him
<v Speaker 1>on there. Because, I mean, in terms of commissioners, there
<v Speaker 1>haven't been that many commissioners. Like, in WWE, Piper was
<v Speaker 1>the president. Monsoon was the president. Slaughter was a commissioner.
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Michaels was a commissioner. Foley was a commissioner. Uh...
<v Speaker 1>might be it. I don't know. I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>they ever had another commissioner figure in WWE. Overall, though,
<v Speaker 1>commissioners just across wrestling in general, I would have to
<v Speaker 1>be on there. I would put myself on Mount Rushmore.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I try to be modest, but let's be honest.
<v Speaker 1>I belong on that Mount Rushmore. Anyway, thank you guys
<v Speaker 1>for hanging out with me here on a Monday night.
<v Speaker 1>Has not been a fun 24 hours, and I'm sure
<v Speaker 1>it won't be as we head into that show on Wednesday.
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be a very emotional night on Dynamite.
<v Speaker 1>I will have a lot more to say about the
<v Speaker 1>pack story. Maybe there'll be more news tomorrow. I'm not
<v Speaker 1>expecting it. It'll be a while, I think, before we
<v Speaker 1>have a cause of death or anything like that. That
<v Speaker 1>stuff just takes time. I know they said in the
<v Speaker 1>news today they just did an autopsy on him. There's
<v Speaker 1>no sign of any foul play or anything like that,
<v Speaker 1>but I'll have more to say about him and just
<v Speaker 1>things to share, and then a bunch of other news
<v Speaker 1>to get into as well. We'll do that on Uncrowned tomorrow.
<v Speaker 1>Brand new episode of the Uncrowned Wrestling Show. There'll be
<v Speaker 1>a brand new TNT tomorrow night over on JD's channel.
<v Speaker 1>And the Dynamite Post Show. Worlds Collide is streaming on
<v Speaker 1>YouTube at 7 Eastern on the WWE YouTube channel on Wednesday.
<v Speaker 1>I will not be watching that live. I will check
<v Speaker 1>that out after the fact. I'll be watching Dynamite, as
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure many people will be. on Wednesday night so
<v Speaker 1>we will talk about all of that and again if
<v Speaker 1>you missed it just a short video kind of in
<v Speaker 1>the aftermath of all the pack stuff yesterday that's up
<v Speaker 1>on the channel right now if you want to go
<v Speaker 1>check that out Spray JC with a final super chat
<v Speaker 1>here says hey hey hey what's going on here Triple
<v Speaker 1>H still stinks Mr. B Rest in peace, Mr. Haskins. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>rest in peace, Mr. Belding and Pac and Rick the
<v Speaker 1>Sign Guy. And again, our condolences to our friend Luis
<v Speaker 1>on the loss of his mother. Too much loss. Too
<v Speaker 1>much grief. Too much loss. It's just all very terrible.
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, be well. Stay safe. And I will see
<v Speaker 1>you back here on this channel. live on Wednesday night
<v Speaker 1>for the Dynamite Post Show. Until then, take care, guys.
