Je'Von Evans Qualifies for Chamber & Bianca Belair Surgery Update | The WRAP

WEBVTT

00:10.088 --> 00:28.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello everyone and welcome to a Monday night edition of the rap live on the fight game media network YouTube channel as a road to elimination chamber continues as we're on that road to WrestleMania as well in Las Vegas and Nevada running it back once again.

00:28.550 --> 00:37.023
[SPEAKER_00]: for reasons because WWE like to try things over and over and over again with very high ticket prices.

00:37.303 --> 00:39.466
[SPEAKER_00]: But I digress on all of that.

00:39.506 --> 00:40.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Good evening, everyone.

00:40.568 --> 00:41.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Keela Cash.

00:41.509 --> 00:45.535
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a set as always is my co-capped in my right hand.

00:45.575 --> 00:49.281
[SPEAKER_00]: These sometimes advocate for the rapidly improving Mr. Winston Claire.

00:49.601 --> 00:55.570
[SPEAKER_00]: For my next team, I bring to you back on the

00:55.550 --> 00:58.273
[SPEAKER_00]: on time, salty, Scott Young.

00:58.533 --> 00:59.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, salty.

01:01.897 --> 01:03.299
[SPEAKER_01]: They've had Michaela as always.

01:03.339 --> 01:06.763
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a pleasure to chop it up and talk all things, WWE.

01:07.363 --> 01:09.446
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited about the conversation we're going to have.

01:09.486 --> 01:16.173
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess WWE is celebrating Black History Month by letting a Black Man win a main event.

01:16.274 --> 01:20.258
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll take what I can get since we're not getting any video packages or anything.

01:21.233 --> 01:28.921
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not getting any social media posts, nothing on IG, not even an online video package on the YouTube channel.

01:28.961 --> 01:38.992
[SPEAKER_00]: They said the best we can do is have a black man win the main event of Monday Night RAW as a here-damn, are you happy now?

01:39.453 --> 01:41.355
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy Black History Month, everyone.

01:41.395 --> 01:48.102
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the best we got from WWE and, oh well, I guess we just have to.

01:48.925 --> 01:52.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Grit our teeth and bear it and accept the bare minimum by WWE.

01:52.450 --> 01:57.719
[SPEAKER_00]: But we appreciate y'all nonetheless for throwing us a bone on Black History Month.

01:57.819 --> 02:01.865
[SPEAKER_00]: But good evening Fernando, welcome in happy late evening to you as well.

02:01.925 --> 02:05.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for your support as always joining us during the late tonight hours.

02:06.012 --> 02:12.722
[SPEAKER_00]: As we recap, the week so far in WWE, but before we dive into the hottest topic of the day,

02:13.445 --> 02:21.756
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk about NBA all star weekend going down in Englishwood, California at the end to it dome.

02:22.477 --> 02:25.682
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was a tell of two nights.

02:26.543 --> 02:33.272
[SPEAKER_00]: We had the NBA Saturday night at 5 o'clock PME Stern on NBC because of the Olympics.

02:33.292 --> 02:41.123
[SPEAKER_00]: And the main event was the three point contest with

02:41.339 --> 02:48.128
[SPEAKER_00]: pre-handedly on a pediculee's very impressive, I will not acknowledge the slam dunk contest.

02:48.769 --> 02:50.051
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing to say there.

02:51.012 --> 03:09.878
[SPEAKER_00]: But thankfully, the all-star game delivered on Sunday night or afternoon because it aired once again five o'clock PM Eastern due to the winter Olympics, but they went out there and dare I say they actually cared, competed, and played

03:16.574 --> 03:20.499
[SPEAKER_01]: defense might be a strong word, but they didn't let people go by them, like they normally do.

03:23.903 --> 03:26.446
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it was, it was a lot more enjoyable.

03:27.628 --> 03:29.129
[SPEAKER_01]: Dame winning on the Achilles.

03:29.850 --> 03:33.455
[SPEAKER_01]: He definitely sparked something because Steph Curry already said he's doing the next year.

03:33.875 --> 03:37.980
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think next year is the three-point contest has taken over.

03:38.441 --> 03:40.303
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we started getting

03:41.870 --> 03:46.156
[SPEAKER_01]: being like, man, and people like that and the dunk contest, nobody's going to care.

03:46.477 --> 03:52.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Jackson Hayes did a basic, Tomahawk Jam that he does literally every game in the middle of the dunk contest.

03:52.826 --> 03:56.090
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, he thought he was going to go from the free throw line and then was like, you know what?

03:56.591 --> 03:59.876
[SPEAKER_02]: Nah, I'll just do a regular, I'll just do a regular.

04:00.156 --> 04:05.624
[SPEAKER_02]: He was more impressive in the game when he went between his legs and the fourth quarter and the last two minutes of a five point game.

04:05.925 --> 04:08.448
[SPEAKER_02]: That was more impressive than anything he did in the dunk contest.

04:08.468 --> 04:09.750
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that.

04:11.350 --> 04:12.572
[SPEAKER_01]: Y'all saw a game was cool.

04:12.672 --> 04:13.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Kowai put on a show.

04:13.994 --> 04:22.588
[SPEAKER_01]: The bra and dunked on Norman Powell and let it all hang on top of them and he was like, yes, I like it.

04:23.129 --> 04:30.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Yoke itch and Luke over there and when be really win hard, I kind of wish Yannis was out there too, because then too, would have win really hard.

04:30.360 --> 04:33.966
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that that might have changed things a little bit, but it was cool.

04:35.819 --> 04:39.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'm a big fan of the format, but they got on the play.

04:40.806 --> 04:41.447
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

04:41.467 --> 04:42.489
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.

04:42.509 --> 04:45.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, the play, which is important, I appreciate that.

04:46.314 --> 04:47.476
[SPEAKER_00]: There was effort there.

04:48.237 --> 04:55.227
[SPEAKER_00]: And when Reggie Miller said that Tomahawk dunk or something you can see at LA Fitness, I was done for the evening.

04:55.607 --> 05:04.560
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a wild thing to say on a live microphone that you can see at any local LA fitness in America.

05:06.397 --> 05:07.058
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not wrong.

05:07.399 --> 05:10.644
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, when I play in the summertime, I see somebody do that.

05:10.824 --> 05:13.028
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not he's not wrong.

05:13.188 --> 05:18.217
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm did that man to be seven foot, you should have at least tried to go from the foul line.

05:18.237 --> 05:18.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

05:18.457 --> 05:20.320
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the lose you're in a way.

05:21.542 --> 05:27.773
[SPEAKER_01]: So Matt McClung was sitting at home like, yeah, I want to just play in the in the gly game instead of this.

05:27.813 --> 05:30.497
[SPEAKER_01]: So whatever, it's fine.

05:31.338 --> 05:34.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, Mack wants to be taken seriously as a basketball player.

05:34.482 --> 05:37.847
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw this S.C. feature last night on sports center.

05:37.907 --> 05:42.393
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to be taken seriously as a big time basketball player.

05:42.453 --> 05:45.357
[SPEAKER_00]: He was born in a very small town in Virginia.

05:45.457 --> 05:50.764
[SPEAKER_00]: He heels and still holds several state records for the season that he played.

05:50.744 --> 06:09.090
[SPEAKER_00]: high school basketball, one state championship over there, then he transitions to college and then when I'm drafted in the NBA and as you said, it's hopped around G league to G league to G league and just wants to be on someone's team, even if he's not starting to come off the bench to be a contributor.

06:09.130 --> 06:12.755
[SPEAKER_00]: So I hope that his main basketball dream comes true.

06:12.895 --> 06:15.318
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he does want to be defined as a dunker.

06:15.358 --> 06:17.882
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why he

06:17.862 --> 06:21.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, did bring it back from the brink of extinction for three years.

06:21.788 --> 06:29.320
[SPEAKER_00]: But now, as you said, unless you got the big names out there, dunking regularly, the event is just lame and all on a stand.

06:29.340 --> 06:34.328
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to love this lamb dot contest, but the true main event is the three point shooting contest.

06:34.749 --> 06:36.412
[SPEAKER_00]: And Steph Curry says he's going to be in it.

06:36.792 --> 06:37.834
[SPEAKER_00]: He's recruiting Dame.

06:37.894 --> 06:39.196
[SPEAKER_00]: He's recruiting clay.

06:39.236 --> 06:44.224
[SPEAKER_00]: He says only real shooters may apply for next year, which is going to be crazy.

06:46.955 --> 06:52.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I actually thought it was pretty cool last year when they had the women in there too, like Sabrina was in there.

06:52.842 --> 06:54.304
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was pretty cool.

06:54.344 --> 06:58.309
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you want to do a little crossover with that, that might be something different.

06:58.349 --> 07:06.400
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, as far as Matt McClung goes, I mean, obviously, I hope he gets what he's looking for, but let me say something.

07:06.760 --> 07:12.287
[SPEAKER_01]: There was absolutely a laying money and popularity.

07:12.267 --> 07:21.859
[SPEAKER_01]: and just being a YouTube star as far as just going to different places and dominating and just dunking on people all day.

07:21.920 --> 07:25.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's a lane for him to be a huge celebrity.

07:25.945 --> 07:40.063
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure yardie is in his own right, but like if it doesn't, if it doesn't come to fruition like he's looking for, there is absolutely a lane for him to be a top tier YouTube social media type guy.

07:41.039 --> 07:41.700
[SPEAKER_00]: definitely.

07:41.720 --> 07:45.727
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he has a dream and he wants to fulfill it.

07:45.827 --> 07:59.149
[SPEAKER_00]: I totally understand it, but at the same time, if you're calling, it's to be a dunk machine and you can do it, like nobody else can do it, then you need to embrace it and it's okay to have this dream.

07:59.189 --> 08:02.575
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, this dream of being a dunker.

08:02.555 --> 08:07.181
[SPEAKER_00]: has given you a whole lot in terms of visibility and popularity.

08:07.201 --> 08:08.582
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would knock it.

08:08.703 --> 08:10.445
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he wants to be a star.

08:10.825 --> 08:11.746
[SPEAKER_00]: I totally get it.

08:12.147 --> 08:17.053
[SPEAKER_00]: But when sports center basically shapes you and showing clips of you missing shots to explain.

08:17.393 --> 08:22.820
[SPEAKER_00]: This is why I can't stay on a team because he's not instrumental in terms of flow of the offense.

08:22.840 --> 08:24.462
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, damn.

08:24.442 --> 08:26.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you profile the man and just throw him into the bus?

08:27.245 --> 08:28.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that all happened in one piece.

08:29.147 --> 08:30.128
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great dunker.

08:30.328 --> 08:31.870
[SPEAKER_00]: He also be a real basketball player.

08:32.191 --> 08:34.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's his miss shot to explain why he's in the G League.

08:35.014 --> 08:35.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, wow.

08:38.858 --> 08:41.581
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, that sounds like a hit piece right there.

08:41.641 --> 08:45.145
[SPEAKER_01]: But I hope he gets it.

08:45.485 --> 08:47.567
[SPEAKER_01]: There's plenty of teams trying to tank.

08:47.587 --> 08:54.415
[SPEAKER_01]: And if he's looking for opportunity, there's quite a few teams this year who are trying to lose and will probably give him an opportunity.

08:55.508 --> 08:56.072
[SPEAKER_00]: for sure.

08:56.092 --> 08:59.393
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, a bit over I enjoyed the Austro game too.

08:59.693 --> 09:06.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the world, when B showed up, he played hard, he played angry, and now he has two grudges.

09:06.442 --> 09:10.968
[SPEAKER_00]: This all started game in the 2028 Olympics in LA.

09:11.368 --> 09:19.178
[SPEAKER_00]: He is going to get his pound of flesh in three years and next year, respectively, as you say, the Jonas was out there, would have been more of a fight for sure.

09:19.619 --> 09:28.030
[SPEAKER_00]: And if stuff was out there for the OGs, they would add a shot to down the stretch because

09:29.225 --> 09:34.410
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're old, so that's what it is.

09:34.690 --> 09:36.732
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's not because Shay wasn't played either like this.

09:37.193 --> 09:41.557
[SPEAKER_01]: That international squad was missing some, and then Luke and I, and Yoke and just don't play.

09:41.597 --> 09:42.237
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't care.

09:42.297 --> 09:48.043
[SPEAKER_01]: So they were definitely missing some people and then some people just really don't care about the all-star game.

09:48.083 --> 09:49.284
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a lot to that.

09:49.664 --> 09:51.926
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, more enjoyable.

09:52.507 --> 09:53.268
[SPEAKER_01]: It is what it is.

09:53.648 --> 09:55.610
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what happens for the second half of the season.

09:55.630 --> 09:56.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Go Lakers.

09:56.967 --> 10:19.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Go Lakers, you say that is a lovely sentiment to have as you pray for the best as you're slumping a little bit right now during the midway point of the NBA season, we will see what they do in the home stretch as re-approach the second half of the NBA season right about now when the season resumes on Thursday, they will play the Celtics.

10:20.108 --> 10:26.974
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe on Friday on ESPN,

10:26.954 --> 10:42.254
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's get to some serious WWE talk at this time, and we got to talk about something that I don't think we'll be talking about today, because I opened up my phone mid-morning, and I see that Kevin Nash is in the news.

10:42.534 --> 10:43.415
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, for what?

10:43.816 --> 10:44.637
[SPEAKER_00]: What did he say?

10:45.057 --> 10:51.966
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I read one quote, and I'm like, what in the world is this for real?

10:52.368 --> 11:00.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you joking me to quote Billy Kay on Black History Month on the 16th day of Black History Month, are you joking me?

11:00.741 --> 11:14.682
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to verbatim by censoring myself quote, what Kevin Nash said about one Javan Evans.

11:14.702 --> 11:15.844
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said something.

11:16.668 --> 11:31.588
[SPEAKER_00]: He said many things and I want to get into that right now as I pull up what he said, me one moment to get that intel for the people out there, let me see.

11:31.989 --> 11:32.970
[SPEAKER_01]: Big sexy cool thing.

11:33.030 --> 11:38.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm letting better to do what himself than to talk about black people during black history month.

11:38.478 --> 11:46.168
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he got on the microphone and he decided to say something

11:47.853 --> 11:59.331
[SPEAKER_00]: This here Monday, let me get, let me just get to the quotes, allow me, and that quote, rewards from Kevin Ash from his podcast.

12:01.640 --> 12:04.202
[SPEAKER_00]: quote, he's an incredible athlete.

12:04.803 --> 12:08.206
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a little bit, he's a little bit too effing Mr.

12:08.226 --> 12:09.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Bow jangles for me.

12:09.427 --> 12:11.809
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish he was a little bit more urban.

12:12.550 --> 12:14.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand it's Netflix.

12:14.211 --> 12:23.660
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand that there's a big effing world out there besides the one that effing 66 year old Detroit board Kevin Ash wants, but I just want him to have a little bit of an edge.

12:24.180 --> 12:26.763
[SPEAKER_00]: But if he's not going to have an edge, then he knows how to throw.

12:26.803 --> 12:28.004
[SPEAKER_00]: He can strike.

12:28.044 --> 12:29.385
[SPEAKER_00]: He throws a good

12:29.365 --> 12:37.456
[SPEAKER_00]: Effing take your time and throw a good punch, maybe put two or three together, something where Effing, you tell me if this ish is real.

12:38.076 --> 12:40.940
[SPEAKER_00]: All this is leticism, I have, I can use.

12:41.541 --> 12:49.672
[SPEAKER_00]: Not if this ish was real, mother, blank, I would cartwheel off your mother Effing body, like you would never see.

12:50.392 --> 12:51.214
[SPEAKER_00]: He sells good.

12:51.794 --> 12:57.702
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he really does sell everything good, close quote.

12:59.048 --> 13:01.731
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing that stuck out to me was one of two things.

13:01.991 --> 13:24.057
[SPEAKER_00]: One, Mr. Bo Jingles, that comparison, that word, from a real person, that did Vaudeville, that broke that menstrual shit barrier over 100 years ago, but at the same time, you're trying to say that Javan is too happy go lucky.

13:24.457 --> 13:28.802
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not black enough to get over.

13:30.267 --> 13:31.551
[SPEAKER_00]: Huh?

13:31.571 --> 13:36.587
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to be more urban, more hood, more street, more ghetto, I suppose.

13:36.968 --> 13:43.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's basically what you're saying, that he's not black enough to get over in WWE.

13:44.358 --> 13:45.640
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where we are.

13:46.321 --> 13:49.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, everything you said after that will go out in the strikes, punch a technique.

13:49.946 --> 13:53.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, that's fair game because you have percale last year.

13:53.391 --> 13:54.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you tens for that.

13:54.933 --> 14:01.823
[SPEAKER_00]: But the basis of where you got from point A to point B completely diluted the point.

14:01.843 --> 14:05.708
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just made me think to myself

14:07.021 --> 14:14.582
[SPEAKER_00]: why on this time, on this day, in this moment, did you fix your lips to say that about Javans?

14:15.023 --> 14:22.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is organically over with the people by being his self, by being himself?

14:22.023 --> 14:25.471
[SPEAKER_00]: By being a black man in this business, there's already a fucking barrier.

14:25.812 --> 14:37.660
[SPEAKER_00]: Enough as it is to be seen by this company, to get pushed by this company, to try to be the face of this company, but he's not black enough according to you.

14:37.921 --> 14:39.745
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs an edge.

14:39.725 --> 14:52.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, apparently what he's doing so far is working and he's going to be a part of one of the bigger matches this year and just two weeks in Chicago out of elimination chamber for God forbid you must be black enough to qualify.

14:58.810 --> 15:01.073
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, uh, it's a lot to unpack here.

15:01.915 --> 15:08.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, first of all, the biggest thing my biggest takeaway is that Kevin Nash is just ignorant.

15:08.545 --> 15:11.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, I, do I think he's racist?

15:12.010 --> 15:14.533
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I just think he's incredibly ignorant.

15:15.174 --> 15:27.653
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I mean by that is he's an old head, an old timer, a get off my long guy who seems to think all black people need to be inside of a box.

15:27.717 --> 15:29.560
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's only one box you can fit in.

15:30.161 --> 15:33.666
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he talked about him not being black enough.

15:35.389 --> 15:36.551
[SPEAKER_01]: What are we talking about?

15:36.631 --> 15:56.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Javan Evans, not like skin first off, has dreads, but he's not black enough because he probably does rap or, you know, the stereotypical things that an older white man would think of when he sees a black person.

15:56.253 --> 16:01.679
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, these are the kind of boxes that they put black people in.

16:01.699 --> 16:10.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Think about, you know, back when Mark Henry was with when he was, you know, they were trying to push him and they were calling him a silver-back gorilla.

16:11.690 --> 16:13.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know what I mean?

16:13.532 --> 16:17.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is these are the boxes that they put them in.

16:18.076 --> 16:26.125
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not forget about what's the gentleman from NXT who had the the crazy shirt

16:26.881 --> 16:34.477
[SPEAKER_01]: and he ended up causing a fit about that as he should have like these are the boxes that they put people in.

16:35.700 --> 16:41.251
[SPEAKER_01]: I looked up with the what the term bow jingles means in the urban dictionary.

16:42.394 --> 16:44.839
[SPEAKER_01]: Since Kevin Nash wanted him to be more urban.

16:45.140 --> 16:50.990
[SPEAKER_01]: And the bow jangles also bow jangling, the obvious didn't teach you a bonnicks.

16:51.270 --> 16:57.560
[SPEAKER_01]: So someone who talks about something that has no point going on about nothing, a rambler, a bow jangler.

16:58.602 --> 17:01.146
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is what he's calling Javan Evans.

17:01.807 --> 17:06.014
[SPEAKER_01]: So essentially he's saying he has nothing going on and is all about nothing.

17:07.076 --> 17:07.857
[SPEAKER_01]: It's...

17:08.191 --> 17:15.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, it's just completely ignorant and this is these are the type of things you mentioned the barrier.

17:16.230 --> 17:24.109
[SPEAKER_01]: These are the type of barriers and things that black people go through on a daily basis in life at work.

17:24.129 --> 17:25.913
[SPEAKER_01]: We all know.

17:26.332 --> 17:32.558
[SPEAKER_01]: We all know a white person who is more urban than a few of our black friends.

17:32.638 --> 17:34.600
[SPEAKER_01]: We all know somebody like that.

17:35.041 --> 17:37.543
[SPEAKER_01]: But let me tell you what that doesn't make them because they're more urban.

17:38.004 --> 17:39.185
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't make them black.

17:39.845 --> 17:42.428
[SPEAKER_01]: And it does not make them blacker than whoever.

17:43.489 --> 17:55.461
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I like, you know, one of the things about fresh prints of Bel-Laire, that they make sure to get a cross when it comes to Carl's and it will Smith,

17:56.318 --> 18:25.617
[SPEAKER_01]: not urban crossing was he was still black and they made sure to put that out at every episode and talk about that and how regardless of how you think you may come across or who you may hang out with you are still black you will always be black so it's again I just think he's an old white man out of touch ignorant and like you said if you cut out those first three senses

18:25.867 --> 18:27.937
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably, it's probably great advice.

18:28.560 --> 18:30.067
[SPEAKER_01]: Why not to have a bit more age?

18:30.128 --> 18:31.675
[SPEAKER_01]: Throw some more strikes.

18:32.448 --> 18:48.454
[SPEAKER_01]: But to just come out to a mouth and say something like that, about a pretty dark skin black man, with dreads is just, again, completely ignorant and putting a black person in a box.

18:49.115 --> 18:56.127
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the biggest problem we have when it comes to black people and wrestling in WWE.

18:56.647 --> 18:58.168
[SPEAKER_01]: you can't just be yourself.

18:59.470 --> 19:03.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Opa Femi has to be Nigerian, this Nigerian giant to get over.

19:03.533 --> 19:09.439
[SPEAKER_01]: He, if you hear his first promo when he first showed up on level up, that man is talking quietly, softly.

19:09.979 --> 19:14.063
[SPEAKER_01]: He, there's no accent, but he is the Nigerian giant now.

19:15.024 --> 19:25.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Apollo Cruz, his biggest moment, his biggest claim to fame was being from Nigeria, putting on an accent and having body guards

19:27.646 --> 19:36.747
[SPEAKER_01]: The new day, they wanted them to be preachers who were clapping and shuckin' and jivein' like Drew skiing his skits.

19:37.028 --> 19:45.047
[SPEAKER_01]: These are the boxes that they put black people in and if you don't fit that box.

19:46.259 --> 19:47.221
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to work here.

19:47.983 --> 19:51.451
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to be a part of what they want.

19:51.691 --> 19:58.547
[SPEAKER_01]: And unfortunately, this just continues to show that those boxes are still in the WWE circles.

19:59.793 --> 20:05.881
[SPEAKER_00]: and they're in the writing room to this day because you can just imagine the conversations they're having.

20:05.961 --> 20:22.982
[SPEAKER_00]: And this isn't just past history that Scott's mentioning, this is stuff happening within current day WWE within the last five years of the Apollo cruise gimmick of the fake Nigerian accent of the bodyguard of the spear happening at a WrestleMania in Tampa.

20:22.962 --> 20:25.186
[SPEAKER_00]: This was five years ago.

20:25.206 --> 20:27.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Oprah fed me some out of the family all.

20:27.671 --> 20:29.454
[SPEAKER_00]: This man's got a Southern ass accent.

20:29.715 --> 20:31.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Soft spoke and sweet ass can be.

20:31.618 --> 20:37.509
[SPEAKER_00]: He's Nigerian on the on the air to get the pops and to get that aura, which we totally appreciate.

20:37.830 --> 20:40.294
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, he's got to put on to get ahead.

20:40.415 --> 20:43.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Which I totally understand is a great gimmick, but it's put on.

20:43.280 --> 20:57.018
[SPEAKER_00]: to get ahead to get pushed and elevated in WWE, you think about the new day, same thing, shocking and driving preachers was Vincent's vision for the new day until they flipped it on his head by simply being themselves and being extra.

20:57.699 --> 20:59.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Xavier was his prime example.

20:59.141 --> 21:00.142
[SPEAKER_00]: He loves video games.

21:00.563 --> 21:02.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that make him less black?

21:02.365 --> 21:04.728
[SPEAKER_00]: if he loves a golden girls that make some less black.

21:04.828 --> 21:05.809
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the golden girls.

21:06.109 --> 21:07.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that make me less black?

21:07.891 --> 21:14.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Like seriously, like these are the conversations that people are having on their podcast.

21:14.758 --> 21:20.204
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes people are having these conversations within the black community about what qualifies as being black.

21:20.224 --> 21:26.871
[SPEAKER_00]: And Scott made a great point about the fresh principal layer that Carlton despite being a Republican

21:26.851 --> 21:32.539
[SPEAKER_00]: voting for the Reagan's in story, being a read, leaning character.

21:32.739 --> 21:34.101
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't forget that he was black.

21:34.361 --> 21:47.399
[SPEAKER_00]: There were moments when he was confused as to how come I was racially profile, how come I got arrested, how come I got stopped asking these questions, but he recognized, oh yeah, because I'm black, because they don't care.

21:47.779 --> 21:50.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Like those are the things we're talking about.

21:50.683 --> 21:53.567
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kevin Nash, no better than this.

21:53.547 --> 21:54.689
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not racist.

21:54.809 --> 22:04.608
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe that these incredibly ignorant to say what he said on a platform as big as his and knowing that you have the ear of your buddy Paul Levec.

22:04.628 --> 22:08.114
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just telling to me that was your first go to Mr.

22:08.134 --> 22:08.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Bow Jangles.

22:09.497 --> 22:16.450
[SPEAKER_00]: And the real man, if you watch the movie that Greg Rehines did, that betrayed the man behind the character,

22:16.430 --> 22:22.459
[SPEAKER_00]: The struggles he endured, he was accused of being an akutam for taking roles that were subservient.

22:22.579 --> 22:30.631
[SPEAKER_00]: That were less than back in the day, but he said, listen, I had to take the jobs they were given to me at the time because that's all we had.

22:31.152 --> 22:34.236
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's all that I could do to elevate

22:34.216 --> 22:35.638
[SPEAKER_00]: what they gave to me.

22:36.139 --> 22:42.771
[SPEAKER_00]: So he faces own struggles as a performer, as an artist who was boxed in in some ways as well.

22:43.071 --> 22:44.253
[SPEAKER_00]: And that couldn't be helped.

22:44.694 --> 22:50.103
[SPEAKER_00]: But to box in people here in WWE in 2026 is wowed to me.

22:50.143 --> 22:53.068
[SPEAKER_00]: And the other thing I can think of is,

22:54.247 --> 22:57.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you want Javan to be like a car jack or like crime time?

22:57.891 --> 23:00.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that urban enough for you, Kevin Nash?

23:01.616 --> 23:02.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that black enough for you?

23:02.977 --> 23:05.200
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't get it.

23:05.240 --> 23:08.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that argument today, it really took me for a loop.

23:08.864 --> 23:12.388
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I was in another dimension reading that because I said, this can't be real.

23:12.448 --> 23:16.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this AI, but sure enough, he really sent that on a podcast.

23:17.214 --> 23:20.878
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's been radio silent today because what can you say?

23:20.993 --> 23:44.284
[SPEAKER_00]: But I imagine you have something to say to kind of walk this back a bit because none of what you said today made any sense on his face because apparently you're not watching the same show we're watching when this man is getting over organically by being himself amongst the crowd barely two months into his may roster run in WWE.

23:44.264 --> 23:47.931
[SPEAKER_00]: And he would be heavily favored in the combination chamber match in Chicago.

23:48.191 --> 23:51.558
[SPEAKER_00]: He won't win, but let me tell you it will be the most over in that match.

23:51.578 --> 23:56.968
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be Javon Evans providing incredible moments and he'll be black enough to do it.

23:57.388 --> 23:58.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying it.

23:59.772 --> 24:08.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and already know what he's going to say, he's going to say, you know, I was comparing them to the people that I came up with like a book or tea and stuff like that.

24:08.382 --> 24:09.564
[SPEAKER_01]: And all that's good and fine.

24:09.584 --> 24:11.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Book or tea is who book or tea is.

24:11.806 --> 24:12.908
[SPEAKER_01]: That's who book or tea is.

24:13.228 --> 24:14.730
[SPEAKER_01]: They grew up in two different eras.

24:15.691 --> 24:20.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Book or tea probably had to be a little bit rougher around the edges, a little bit tougher, who he is.

24:20.777 --> 24:21.858
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just who he is.

24:22.259 --> 24:23.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Javan doesn't have to be like that.

24:23.780 --> 24:24.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Like,

24:25.034 --> 24:40.680
[SPEAKER_01]: You, yeah, I'm with you on the he needs a little bit more of an edge, but you don't, he doesn't need to be had that having more of an edge has nothing to do with being urban I could tell you that right now has absolutely nothing to do with being urban like

24:40.660 --> 24:44.227
[SPEAKER_01]: If he acted more like Inzo Amore, is that more urban?

24:44.667 --> 24:46.731
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, you know what I mean?

24:46.751 --> 24:49.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what exactly does that mean?

24:50.699 --> 24:52.763
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's what his co-host should have asked.

24:53.023 --> 24:59.395
[SPEAKER_01]: What exactly do you mean by more, what does a black man need to do to be more urban?

25:01.501 --> 25:05.747
[SPEAKER_01]: specifically a black man who's not, again, not light skin.

25:06.428 --> 25:06.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

25:07.008 --> 25:08.771
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not the dude from Grey's Anatomy.

25:09.231 --> 25:09.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

25:10.233 --> 25:11.354
[SPEAKER_01]: I did take a strike.

25:11.574 --> 25:11.735
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

25:12.075 --> 25:14.879
[SPEAKER_02]: I did take a strike.

25:15.179 --> 25:15.680
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

25:16.061 --> 25:17.462
[SPEAKER_02]: I did take a strike.

25:17.482 --> 25:18.984
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's not him.

25:19.245 --> 25:20.266
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's got dread.

25:20.286 --> 25:20.927
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like,

25:21.616 --> 25:26.323
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't know what he has to do to be more urban.

25:26.823 --> 25:30.268
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, sorry, Jesse, I apologize for the strength.

25:30.288 --> 25:31.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have the first lightscape, man?

25:31.690 --> 25:34.054
[SPEAKER_01]: I could think of it.

25:34.074 --> 25:37.158
[SPEAKER_00]: You just loaded up the old rifle and just said, I mean, it's true to strength.

25:37.298 --> 25:38.860
[SPEAKER_00]: This man for no reason.

25:39.121 --> 25:40.703
[SPEAKER_00]: This man is mining his business.

25:41.144 --> 25:44.028
[SPEAKER_00]: As Seattle general, and you came for that man like that.

25:44.588 --> 25:45.750
[SPEAKER_00]: For no reason.

25:46.372 --> 25:50.018
[SPEAKER_00]: My apologies to Gray's Anatomy, Jesse and the Space Needle.

25:50.038 --> 25:50.759
[SPEAKER_00]: You tried him.

25:51.340 --> 25:53.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Short cut, light skin, good looking man.

25:53.945 --> 25:54.686
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

25:54.726 --> 25:57.250
[SPEAKER_02]: The medical field got his degree.

25:57.611 --> 25:59.494
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin Nash would just be appalled by him.

26:01.117 --> 26:01.958
[SPEAKER_00]: The audacity.

26:02.419 --> 26:05.684
[SPEAKER_00]: You telling me he didn't go to ER.

26:05.744 --> 26:08.549
[SPEAKER_00]: He's that airicalous sound, black.

26:08.990 --> 26:09.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?

26:11.279 --> 26:11.660
[SPEAKER_02]: right.

26:11.760 --> 26:13.002
[SPEAKER_02]: What he's that's full.

26:13.022 --> 26:14.605
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got he's asserted.

26:14.625 --> 26:15.967
[SPEAKER_02]: This is crazy.

26:16.428 --> 26:19.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, wait, he's got a better one for you telling me he's not.

26:20.215 --> 26:20.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.

26:21.096 --> 26:21.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Mark.

26:21.597 --> 26:23.421
[SPEAKER_00]: Eps black from how star.

26:23.841 --> 26:25.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh.

26:26.626 --> 26:28.149
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not working for another white man.

26:28.830 --> 26:29.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the horror.

26:29.652 --> 26:30.654
[SPEAKER_01]: What is going on?

26:31.315 --> 26:31.515
[SPEAKER_01]: And.

26:32.575 --> 26:35.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, mom owns the hospital and she's black too.

26:36.739 --> 26:37.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you believe it?

26:38.481 --> 26:39.622
[SPEAKER_00]: And in somber news, yes.

26:39.682 --> 26:46.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Fernando, for noting the passing of James Vanderbilt, for Dawson's Creek passed away last week at the age of 48 due to colorector cancer.

26:47.250 --> 26:48.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Very sad news to see.

26:48.872 --> 26:54.638
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was checking Netflix pulling up Monday night raw and guess what's back on Netflix, y'all.

26:54.978 --> 26:55.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Dawson's Creek.

26:56.340 --> 26:57.701
[SPEAKER_00]: Forget that whole loop crap.

26:57.721 --> 27:01.485
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you want to hear real music, the real theme song,

27:01.465 --> 27:03.531
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to hear Paula Cole pull that up.

27:03.592 --> 27:05.738
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to relive that series pull it up.

27:05.758 --> 27:15.188
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will say first three seasons go that you skip five and four five and six, but you can skip two six gets to the series finale and you'll be satisfied.

27:16.248 --> 27:18.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Never watch his Austin's Creek, never appealed to me.

27:19.316 --> 27:22.965
[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing I ever watched Joshua Jackson and then was mighty duck.

27:23.747 --> 27:23.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Bucks.

27:26.815 --> 27:32.569
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that's, you know, the flying V for me, that's about it when it comes to Joshua.

27:33.224 --> 27:38.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, Joshua Jackson, Shadow Biscuits first of all, respectfully, and, let's see that was my name.

27:38.693 --> 27:41.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's a season man, absolutely.

27:41.678 --> 27:42.440
[SPEAKER_00]: Get some Shadow Biscuits.

27:42.840 --> 27:44.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I was rooting for Joy in Pacy, okay?

27:45.064 --> 27:48.891
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't care for Dawson's tears, you know, oops, my bad.

27:50.052 --> 27:51.455
[SPEAKER_00]: You fumbled the bag with Joy.

27:51.675 --> 27:55.081
[SPEAKER_00]: When you fumbled the first time, when you ran out on her daddy, that's what did it?

27:55.321 --> 27:57.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Even on her daddy wasn't shit.

27:57.084 --> 27:59.248
[SPEAKER_00]: You should have minded your business.

27:59.228 --> 28:06.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Should a mindage of business and bridge a bud appropriately and then you lost your girl and I'll go see for us are for you, please.

28:08.875 --> 28:10.339
[SPEAKER_01]: You sound like you have some wounds.

28:10.379 --> 28:13.407
[SPEAKER_01]: You start to open up a little bit right here when it comes to this show.

28:13.437 --> 28:17.601
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it requires or we watch thoroughly and I will.

28:17.681 --> 28:22.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have to skip the other seasons because like when they go to college, it's always doom.

28:23.126 --> 28:24.567
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always doom when they go to college.

28:25.228 --> 28:29.792
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very few exceptions with television shows, but rest in peace, James Vanderbeek.

28:30.012 --> 28:41.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And I look forward to hearing Kevin Nash's rebuttal and his walk back on his podcast about Javon Evans.

28:42.648 --> 28:45.672
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's move on to happier topics at hand.

28:46.253 --> 28:59.593
[SPEAKER_00]: As we talk about Monday Night Raw going live from the FedEx Forum and Memphis, Tennessee, we are a little over a week away until elimination chamber in Chicago, Illinois, at the United Center with the Chicago Bulls Play.

28:59.573 --> 29:08.948
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought this was a fairly good show hyping up the elimination chamber and WrestleMania at the same time.

29:08.968 --> 29:11.072
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of talking on the show.

29:11.092 --> 29:13.956
[SPEAKER_00]: We have some elimination chamber matches as well.

29:13.996 --> 29:21.148
[SPEAKER_00]: But the first thing I want to get to regarding Monday night raw is going to be the opening segment of the show.

29:21.588 --> 29:26.897
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Usos were supposed to come out for the reasons for something to

29:27.164 --> 29:40.027
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Paul Hayman comes out to interrupt to complain about the hooded man that's been attacking members of the vision as of late for born breaker to awesome theory last week saying who is a maxed man.

29:40.909 --> 29:43.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Show yourself Adam Pearce Adam Pearce is listening.

29:43.954 --> 29:46.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, not my problem.

29:46.619 --> 29:48.362
[SPEAKER_00]: You have enemies.

29:48.342 --> 29:50.825
[SPEAKER_00]: should have could have woulda, not my fault.

29:51.506 --> 29:54.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Eley Night comes out there saying, well, I'm going to the Malaysia Chamber.

29:54.849 --> 29:56.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of y'all not, so what's good?

29:56.912 --> 29:58.413
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready to compete with Usos.

29:58.854 --> 30:01.777
[SPEAKER_00]: We gotta sketchy history, but I think they're willing to team with me tonight.

30:01.797 --> 30:02.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go against a vision.

30:03.619 --> 30:06.122
[SPEAKER_00]: And Adam Pierce makes it official, so it is Usos.

30:06.202 --> 30:07.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Eley Night versus Logan Paul.

30:08.184 --> 30:10.206
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Bross and Reed and Austin Theory.

30:10.567 --> 30:13.590
[SPEAKER_00]: The six-man-taque team matches perfectly fine.

30:13.570 --> 30:29.993
[SPEAKER_00]: what it was, but you knew that if there was an usher on this match, that was gonna take the pin and we'll be Jimmy and he did when we had Bronson lay out LA night, Juseo gets wiped out as well and that leads to tsunami.

30:30.361 --> 30:52.993
[SPEAKER_00]: by Bross and Reed to Jimmy Uso for the W. After the match is over, Logan Paul gets on the headset, talks Matt, cash, crap about winning tonight, talking about this is division, and then as he's talking, mid-sintence, the maxed man, the doppelganger of Seth Rollins, curb stomps.

30:53.362 --> 30:58.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Paul's head on the announced table, and he is laid out.

30:58.489 --> 31:01.533
[SPEAKER_00]: And the maxed man runs away very fast.

31:01.553 --> 31:06.440
[SPEAKER_00]: That gave me great joy to see that man get stumped like that out of nowhere.

31:06.840 --> 31:08.562
[SPEAKER_00]: And the speculation continues.

31:09.043 --> 31:12.107
[SPEAKER_00]: People say the doppelganger for now is Grace and Waller.

31:12.227 --> 31:13.609
[SPEAKER_00]: I tend to believe that as well.

31:13.990 --> 31:16.994
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's a better one that had me popping on the timeline.

31:17.474 --> 31:19.437
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be bad bunny.

31:22.235 --> 31:23.236
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it can't.

31:24.097 --> 31:28.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you haven't seen that a lot, too.

31:28.683 --> 31:29.443
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you something.

31:30.425 --> 31:37.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Bad Bunny is not walking around with a mask on his face after he just did the Super Bowl for 128 million people.

31:37.573 --> 31:41.317
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, my 45 looked on and was pissed off.

31:41.337 --> 31:43.760
[SPEAKER_02]: That man is not walking around with a mask on.

31:44.841 --> 31:46.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Grayson Waller,

31:47.277 --> 31:52.591
[SPEAKER_01]: maybe, I could tell you, it's not Chris Jericho, because that man was way too fast, and too agile.

31:54.396 --> 31:57.825
[SPEAKER_01]: But listen, if it's Grayson, that's okay.

31:58.165 --> 32:02.637
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I thought he was in the new day, so I, you know, I don't know.

32:05.165 --> 32:11.977
[SPEAKER_01]: the mass, the whole mass man thing, the hooded figure, WWE is doing it across every single show.

32:11.997 --> 32:18.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Adam Pierce got a box that said, don't open till the 28th, he's like, not my problem, send it to the nick.

32:19.670 --> 32:21.092
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just doing stuff.

32:21.473 --> 32:23.376
[SPEAKER_02]: So, like,

32:24.014 --> 32:32.612
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready for the reveal like I'm ready to get this over with the only person who gets pinned more than Jim use so as Austin theory.

32:32.772 --> 32:35.898
[SPEAKER_01]: So you do there's only two people taking the pen fall either Austin or Jimmy.

32:37.562 --> 32:44.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Jimmy's like, man, when do I get to take my leave to break because this is the man.

32:44.416 --> 32:54.736
[SPEAKER_01]: So the opening was fine and Bronson Rie got to look like a monster that he is and I think he'll do a good job leading this group in the meantime and I really enjoy Logan Paul.

32:54.836 --> 32:56.119
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's great in this group.

32:56.279 --> 32:57.802
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he does what he's supposed to do.

32:57.822 --> 33:04.315
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good trash talker and he takes bumps really well I don't have any complaints with Logan.

33:05.358 --> 33:14.546
[SPEAKER_00]: I have many real life complaints about this man, but I'll keep it professional, you know, I keep a fair, you know, I will say it's getting lean, seeing a really good shape.

33:14.606 --> 33:16.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I noticed that lately as well.

33:16.707 --> 33:18.109
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still conditioning his hair.

33:18.589 --> 33:28.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Now another one that I thought was funny as who could a curb stomped him was not only bat bunny, but Tom Brady after their conversation on his podcast recently as well.

33:28.417 --> 33:35.263
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of possible suspects as to who curb stomped Logan Paul

33:37.454 --> 33:39.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that guy wasn't tall enough to be Tom Brady.

33:39.336 --> 33:40.197
[SPEAKER_01]: And let me tell you something else.

33:40.217 --> 33:41.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Tom Brady, that better see you there.

33:41.939 --> 33:43.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

33:43.440 --> 33:45.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell me that he never been that fast.

33:46.223 --> 33:47.064
[SPEAKER_01]: He could be the goat.

33:47.364 --> 33:48.786
[SPEAKER_01]: But he running like no good.

33:48.846 --> 33:49.526
[SPEAKER_01]: I can tell you that.

33:50.347 --> 33:54.231
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if it is, if it is Grayson, that's okay.

33:54.371 --> 33:59.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I wouldn't be opposed to like Seth having like the street profits in his crew either.

33:59.677 --> 34:05.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm not opposed to him forming his own little crew of good guys that can come out because

34:06.310 --> 34:09.094
[SPEAKER_01]: they do end up in an exceptional show.

34:09.214 --> 34:11.718
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is what it is.

34:13.040 --> 34:14.843
[SPEAKER_00]: It is because Seth is going to need some help.

34:15.544 --> 34:16.526
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to need some runners.

34:16.606 --> 34:18.028
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't do this by himself.

34:18.108 --> 34:19.891
[SPEAKER_00]: So he has to kind of make a men's for people.

34:20.411 --> 34:28.764
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you said, the sheet properly, so not doing a damn thing on smack down at all, just collecting a check on the first and 15 every month.

34:29.165 --> 34:30.186
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's great for them.

34:30.647 --> 34:35.254
[SPEAKER_00]: But damn, but damn, really, that's kind of where we are right now.

34:37.124 --> 34:52.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want this to be grace and wall or he just a stand-in, but at some point you got to reveal who this person is and I think to myself, if one breakers not back from this hernia surgery before WrestleMania, would you even bother breaking Seth back?

34:52.480 --> 34:54.222
[SPEAKER_00]: to face who exactly.

34:54.542 --> 34:56.363
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been there done out with Logan Paul.

34:56.684 --> 34:59.306
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do him in Bronshory, but then they're done that too.

34:59.326 --> 35:10.436
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like maybe you just sit out Seth for the entire WrestleMania cycle because the payoff is Bron breaker, but if neither guy is going to be ready to go, what is the point?

35:10.456 --> 35:14.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Because nothing on this card outside of you saying that he can get some runners with him.

35:15.160 --> 35:22.386
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't make sense because the money right now would be Bron versus Seth, but if Bron

35:24.155 --> 35:34.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a fair point, but I think what you could do with it is, if you do bring Seth back, you can elevate whoever you're bringing along with him.

35:34.305 --> 35:39.150
[SPEAKER_01]: So whoever you do reveal it, at least it gives him a nice boost, you'll get a nice rest on many and win.

35:39.510 --> 35:44.555
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when Brian Breaker comes back, you already have kind of a built-in ready to go thing.

35:44.635 --> 35:51.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Brian Breaker can come back as a monster and you can really establish him and get back on track to whatever your original plan was.

35:51.560 --> 35:56.575
[SPEAKER_01]: So either way, I'd rather, I'd rather have Seth wrong.

35:57.017 --> 35:58.562
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a Russell made it than not at all.

35:58.782 --> 36:03.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Even if it means he, you know, he's bringing a couple runners with him like you said, street profits.

36:05.212 --> 36:08.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't be opposed to to Nathan Frazier and Axiom.

36:08.598 --> 36:11.182
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, we talk about speed, M2 can move.

36:11.382 --> 36:14.147
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and there's a little history there as well.

36:14.227 --> 36:17.031
[SPEAKER_01]: So, like, I wouldn't be opposed to something like that.

36:17.071 --> 36:18.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's something that, that's a team.

36:18.714 --> 36:20.778
[SPEAKER_01]: You can elevate being in a group with Seth.

36:21.178 --> 36:23.783
[SPEAKER_01]: Them getting that WrestleMania spotlight would do a lot for them.

36:24.524 --> 36:27.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and Nathan is, that's from Jay.

36:27.489 --> 36:30.173
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes sense if they were to link them up, Axiom.

36:30.946 --> 36:54.262
[SPEAKER_00]: They need some love and two, a great, a great tag team that was neck and neck just a year ago with the young bucks and the observer and newsletter awards and they were off the map this year that is booking my practice by the SmackDown writing team led by AI and road dog road dog and that's that is road dog.

36:54.422 --> 36:58.388
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody else that is hip james weekend.

36:58.368 --> 37:00.938
[SPEAKER_02]: I am Roadhog's Vault.

37:00.958 --> 37:03.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, B.J.

37:03.427 --> 37:03.969
[SPEAKER_00]: James.

37:04.431 --> 37:05.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Him.

37:05.641 --> 37:06.041
[SPEAKER_00]: him.

37:06.862 --> 37:34.129
[SPEAKER_00]: You have an amazing tag team on your hands that got over 3,000 freaking votes in the observant newsletter, neck and neck with the young bucks for a tag team of the year and you have them just doing nothing but backstage skits with the modicity machine guns and a depressed and dejected Johnny Gargano on Friday night smack down for 90 seconds a week.

37:35.510 --> 37:39.096
[SPEAKER_00]: Get out of my face, row dog, pathetic.

37:39.917 --> 37:41.920
[SPEAKER_00]: Cole Pilate, correct a better show than you.

37:42.241 --> 37:43.503
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's saying something.

37:43.883 --> 37:54.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Fernando, as you asked, Montez was in fact at one point under the mask at one point in the early days of this idea of who could be the maxed man.

37:54.500 --> 38:00.049
[SPEAKER_00]: So they could go back, they could run it back and say, hey, it was Montez all along.

38:03.590 --> 38:19.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that would be interesting if you let Montez run wild and he comes back with I mean, there's no reason for it, but you know, it, again, the biggest thing I have, the biggest thing take away I have from this is I'm just ready to find out who it is and what's going on.

38:19.712 --> 38:31.048
[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's my biggest takeaway me to and Fernando asks, and in the one of life's great questions, how are the profits off TV?

38:33.121 --> 38:51.906
[SPEAKER_00]: matter, not urban enough, they say not black enough because once again, we have to understand that certain people in this company can't see color on the blackest month of the year, but that's besides the point that they don't acknowledge and none of their social media is or they're YouTube or they're Instagram or they're Twitter.

38:52.915 --> 38:54.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Two years running, got to love it.

38:55.882 --> 39:06.004
[SPEAKER_01]: Say what you want about Voldemort, but that man would celebrate and give us video packages and highlight black people with athletes throughout black history month every week.

39:06.024 --> 39:06.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

39:07.006 --> 39:09.411
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was under the first man's administration agent orange.

39:09.451 --> 39:11.616
[SPEAKER_00]: So, what's up?

39:11.596 --> 39:15.061
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't do the same, you that skirt of D.I.

39:15.522 --> 39:16.544
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just scared of.

39:16.624 --> 39:17.165
[SPEAKER_00]: Get out of here.

39:17.465 --> 39:20.109
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a ridiculous word.

39:20.690 --> 39:32.929
[SPEAKER_00]: But in other news, as Scott mentioned earlier, the crate, this mystery crate that was delivered to Memphis, Tennessee with a mark date of do not open until elimination chamber,

39:32.909 --> 39:36.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Eli was the delivery man because you know I got to remember names.

39:36.774 --> 40:01.768
[SPEAKER_00]: Eli is memorable because you said I'm gonna see it deliver in the package nothing more nothing less I'm here for logistics but you know what I noticed got because I have eagle eyes and I looked directly at that man's clipboard not a damn thing was on it it was white a white piece of Xerox paper not an invoice nothing no prices no locations no logistics I'm gonna see a damn thing ghost rider left that thing blank

40:04.837 --> 40:09.203
[SPEAKER_01]: You can only write with Ghost Rider in a composition notebook with a black pen, okay?

40:09.283 --> 40:14.631
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's the only way you can communicate with Ghost Rider, so it wasn't him either.

40:14.671 --> 40:17.575
[SPEAKER_00]: And let it be known.

40:18.556 --> 40:20.139
[SPEAKER_00]: Ghost Rider was a black man.

40:20.199 --> 40:22.742
[SPEAKER_00]: He was.

40:24.565 --> 40:24.825
[SPEAKER_00]: What?

40:25.526 --> 40:26.087
[SPEAKER_00]: He was.

40:26.227 --> 40:27.429
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a free slave.

40:27.890 --> 40:29.612
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the packs of Ghost Rider.

40:30.908 --> 40:31.829
[SPEAKER_00]: legitimately.

40:31.929 --> 40:32.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

40:32.991 --> 40:34.293
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, never do that.

40:34.373 --> 40:37.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that is the back story of Ghost Rain.

40:37.597 --> 40:38.939
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

40:40.341 --> 40:42.764
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's that just blew my mind.

40:42.824 --> 40:44.066
[SPEAKER_01]: I never knew that.

40:44.887 --> 40:46.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Did they say that in the episode?

40:47.030 --> 40:51.576
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was like when the creator talked about like Ghost White who he was, that's what he said.

40:52.157 --> 40:55.241
[SPEAKER_00]: He gave the whole background of the character where he came from and everything.

40:55.822 --> 41:00.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do you think he came to Jamal Scott?

41:02.498 --> 41:05.284
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna come to a fellow brother to reveal myself, what's up?

41:06.367 --> 41:07.168
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great, never knew that.

41:07.188 --> 41:08.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's awesome, but never knew that.

41:09.153 --> 41:10.275
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, great backstory.

41:10.295 --> 41:10.997
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it, I love it, I love it.

41:11.017 --> 41:11.738
[SPEAKER_01]: For an end, it does his way so well.

41:11.759 --> 41:20.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

41:22.900 --> 41:27.507
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a race swap.

41:27.527 --> 41:28.368
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.

41:29.730 --> 41:33.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was, yeah, I mean, a I read the backster I couldn't believe it.

41:33.716 --> 41:37.000
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, this show got amazingly deep real fast for me.

41:37.401 --> 41:38.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate that.

41:38.723 --> 41:40.826
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, Ghost Rider was a brother.

41:40.886 --> 41:41.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he was.

41:42.008 --> 41:45.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he was elsewhere on Monday night.

41:45.232 --> 41:49.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Rob, before we get to the next segment, Scott, who's in the crate is Chris Jericho?

41:53.022 --> 41:53.803
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you something.

41:54.604 --> 41:58.510
[SPEAKER_02]: If that man Chris Jericho was sitting inside that crate for a week for two weeks.

42:02.456 --> 42:03.598
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably orange swaggle.

42:03.798 --> 42:08.065
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, who else would be in the crib?

42:08.085 --> 42:11.310
[SPEAKER_01]: Who or what else would be in the crate?

42:11.330 --> 42:11.590
[SPEAKER_01]: What?

42:11.610 --> 42:14.474
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's it's either horn swaggle.

42:15.256 --> 42:16.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Chris Jericho's light up jacket.

42:19.021 --> 42:19.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Or

42:22.013 --> 42:22.714
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

42:22.754 --> 42:26.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to go at Horn Swaggle or Chris Jericho's jacket.

42:26.258 --> 42:27.359
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are my two guests.

42:28.520 --> 42:32.485
[SPEAKER_00]: Or because we're on the Fernando says the list.

42:32.805 --> 42:34.507
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a possibility too.

42:34.807 --> 42:37.190
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Adam Pearce's name will be right there at the top.

42:37.750 --> 42:38.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop it.

42:39.512 --> 42:41.534
[SPEAKER_00]: A big old clipboard with Adam Pearce.

42:41.554 --> 42:42.115
[SPEAKER_00]: You're on the list.

42:42.135 --> 42:42.636
[SPEAKER_00]: You made it.

42:42.656 --> 42:44.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get you.

42:44.838 --> 42:49.303
[SPEAKER_00]: But because you're on this fresh, French kick,

42:49.840 --> 42:52.764
[SPEAKER_00]: who's in the crate from one of my favorite episodes.

42:53.525 --> 42:54.466
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Susan Powder.

42:54.526 --> 42:55.828
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who's in the crate, man.

42:55.868 --> 42:59.452
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who's that's who's that's who's that's who's in the crate.

43:02.396 --> 43:03.337
[SPEAKER_00]: What's in the box?

43:04.499 --> 43:05.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

43:05.119 --> 43:08.283
[SPEAKER_01]: I. I don't know.

43:08.323 --> 43:10.046
[SPEAKER_01]: This better not be Ryan's idea.

43:10.066 --> 43:11.688
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me just put it to that way.

43:11.728 --> 43:13.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Ward.

43:13.129 --> 43:15.833
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this better not be Ryan's idea.

43:15.873 --> 43:17.535
[SPEAKER_01]: This better be Bruce.

43:17.667 --> 43:23.382
[SPEAKER_01]: It's easy to be one of the, is I do not want this to come back and because I do not see this ending well.

43:23.563 --> 43:28.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't I see I see me being very disappointed in whatever the reveal is for the box.

43:29.024 --> 43:45.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, I'm looking forward to season four of Unreal in 2027 when they have a whole episode dedicated to the crate and it's going to be Ryan Ward and Bruce Pritchard and Paul Ivek on a Zoom call debating who's going to be in the crate and they're like who could it be?

43:45.871 --> 43:47.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Could it be Chris Jericho?

43:47.533 --> 43:48.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Could it be a returning legend?

43:49.196 --> 43:51.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Could it be the Peloton lady saying get him banned?

43:51.580 --> 43:53.783
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who this could be.

43:53.763 --> 43:54.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

43:54.624 --> 43:56.607
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a whole episode dedicated to that.

43:57.088 --> 44:00.994
[SPEAKER_00]: And the quote, AJ Lee Ryan Boobu Ward is going to get the heat for all of this.

44:05.160 --> 44:08.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if it is his idea, he deserves it.

44:08.906 --> 44:10.448
[SPEAKER_01]: He 100% deserves it.

44:10.829 --> 44:14.875
[SPEAKER_01]: And whatever, man.

44:15.596 --> 44:16.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Adam pierced.

44:16.618 --> 44:22.707
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the one time Adam pierced the right thing and said,

44:23.075 --> 44:25.559
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, you need to redirect this to Nick Aldis.

44:26.821 --> 44:30.125
[SPEAKER_00]: And all shipping fees and just send it to SmackDown.

44:30.186 --> 44:37.176
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to have a raw versus SmackDown match where the loser has to take the box.

44:37.196 --> 44:38.838
[SPEAKER_00]: LAUGHTER Luser gets the box.

44:38.959 --> 44:39.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I look forward to that.

44:39.780 --> 44:42.985
[SPEAKER_00]: We each have seen as a trade boxes for the next couple of weeks.

44:43.025 --> 44:51.377
[SPEAKER_00]: As we were real, because apparently now, we got to look for elimination chamber besides the PLE and the matches in the chamber, who's in the crate?

44:51.678 --> 44:53.240
[SPEAKER_00]: cannot wait to find out who it is.

44:53.940 --> 45:04.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Meanwhile, we had elimination chamber, qualifying match between Nadie, Oscar and Bailey to keep a short and sweet Oscar made Bailey tap out and she's going to the chamber.

45:04.752 --> 45:09.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Match is perfectly fine, crowd was kind of so so, but I thought the right person one.

45:12.160 --> 45:16.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I saw some some disappointment that it wasn't Nadie, but

45:16.923 --> 45:22.612
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he's got bigger fish to fry because she, even if she won this, she wasn't winning the Chamber match.

45:22.632 --> 45:26.477
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they're trying to try to load this Chamber match up as much as they can.

45:26.537 --> 45:32.987
[SPEAKER_01]: And Oscar deserves every, all the, all the flowers and all the moments in spot spotlights that she can get.

45:33.087 --> 45:34.189
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm, I'm with it.

45:35.485 --> 45:37.588
[SPEAKER_00]: absolutely sound pick to me.

45:38.189 --> 45:50.127
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Bailey, but I think they might be putting a Bailey and Lyra for a tag team run in WrestleMania to kind of get the redo from last year, but surely I don't understand you want to go into journey to win those titles that makes sense to me.

45:50.648 --> 45:52.832
[SPEAKER_00]: And Oscar is like the season vet.

45:53.272 --> 45:54.414
[SPEAKER_00]: I love her in this match.

45:54.434 --> 45:54.975
[SPEAKER_00]: Great pick.

45:55.416 --> 46:02.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Nettie's got Maxine to pre-business to attend to and Becky Lynch business to as we've been kind of talking about.

46:03.127 --> 46:12.141
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're doing AJ Lee and Becky at the chamber, it opens the door for a three way or a four way of WrestleMania, if they choose to wait that long.

46:14.584 --> 46:18.510
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's where I think there was a reason she threw out Becky Lynch.

46:19.231 --> 46:27.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I hope Maxine's not a part of I think a four way would be a little too much, but I think a three way with those three women could be really good.

46:27.393 --> 46:55.003
[SPEAKER_00]: absolutely absolutely as we get to see in punk coming out of the top of the second hour talking about how he's putting the main event of WrestleMania and jeopardy getting flag on the front office saying I've done a lot of things and says some things to piss off the front office I wouldn't be me if I didn't piss off people occasionally and you wouldn't love me as much if I didn't do

46:54.983 --> 46:57.207
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not threatening the main event of WrestleMania.

46:57.227 --> 47:00.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm basically saying I'm the best in the world at what I do.

47:00.273 --> 47:01.496
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a fighting champion.

47:01.556 --> 47:04.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't work part time.

47:04.501 --> 47:05.644
[SPEAKER_00]: I work full time.

47:05.724 --> 47:06.726
[SPEAKER_00]: I give my all.

47:06.746 --> 47:08.629
[SPEAKER_00]: I defend my championship.

47:08.770 --> 47:09.451
[SPEAKER_00]: I show up.

47:09.571 --> 47:11.575
[SPEAKER_00]: I show out is what I do.

47:11.555 --> 47:22.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a risk-taker because I know that I can get the job done, that's why I am basically putting my championship on the line in Chicago against Finn Baller because he's earned it.

47:22.475 --> 47:35.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Not this championship match, he's earned these hands and this ass will pin for coming at me and Toronto a few weeks ago and basically jeopardizing and costing me my last opportunity to face AJ Styles one-on-one

47:35.618 --> 47:41.851
[SPEAKER_00]: in a WWE ring who's earned the right to get that ass walked and elimination chamber by me in my hometown.

47:42.412 --> 47:45.218
[SPEAKER_00]: So that leads to Finn Baller coming out, not alone.

47:45.278 --> 47:50.429
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got dirty Dominic Mysterio and he's got JD McDonough out there or side by side.

47:50.469 --> 47:53.916
[SPEAKER_00]: And Finn talks about you're the best in the world.

47:54.197 --> 47:55.720
[SPEAKER_00]: How about being the best

47:55.700 --> 48:06.640
[SPEAKER_00]: fighting in the dojoes of Japan and fighting the best in Europe and fighting the best luchadors in Mexico and beating Roman Reyes first night in a Monday night raw.

48:07.021 --> 48:08.544
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the best in the world.

48:08.684 --> 48:17.100
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a definition to me and if I beat you for that championship that makes me the best in the world and seeing a punk's like, well that's all great.

48:17.080 --> 48:25.411
[SPEAKER_00]: When you did it 15, 20 years ago, like what have you done for me lately because what you have done is have help along the way.

48:25.471 --> 48:26.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you do it by yourself?

48:26.733 --> 48:30.839
[SPEAKER_00]: Could you done all your other accolades alone for what?

48:30.879 --> 48:31.800
[SPEAKER_00]: 20 plus years.

48:32.100 --> 48:35.185
[SPEAKER_00]: But the last four or five you had judgment days help.

48:35.205 --> 48:38.730
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to give you the shot to take your shot at me with my back turn.

48:39.130 --> 48:39.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Jump me.

48:40.111 --> 48:44.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Have

48:44.958 --> 48:45.299
[SPEAKER_00]: do it.

48:45.379 --> 48:48.847
[SPEAKER_00]: If you so bad, so Finn Baller does talk his guys down.

48:49.227 --> 48:53.096
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not take the cheap shot and that sets up the match for elimination chamber.

48:53.697 --> 48:58.528
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoy this for what it was and despite how the dynamic is right now.

48:59.588 --> 49:18.711
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still so 50, 50 on who they're turning in judgment day, but I think there's a pivot coming and for right now and because you can probably prolong the dominant face turn for another year or so they're turning Finn Baller and he's getting kicked out of judgment day very soon.

49:21.053 --> 49:41.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think that's probably going to be a dominant direction at WrestleMania, and it will be a nice pay off from last year's WrestleMania, how dominant won the Intercontinental title as well and the kind of the looks they gave, CM Punk's fantastic, just being able to get you invested, get you route up in a match, he's a great raw, raw speaker.

49:41.573 --> 49:43.956
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's essentially what he was doing.

49:44.016 --> 49:48.360
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's great at it.

49:48.340 --> 49:52.785
[SPEAKER_01]: very good at making you care about a match that you really shouldn't care about.

49:53.265 --> 49:57.209
[SPEAKER_01]: And especially when that we just saw, Finn Balor is also holding his own.

49:57.270 --> 50:01.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was very smart if him to bring up Roman reign, especially since that is the match.

50:02.355 --> 50:03.716
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's also a fun Finn Balor.

50:04.277 --> 50:07.200
[SPEAKER_01]: And I hear seeing punk saying that people are mad at me for messing up the main event.

50:07.601 --> 50:09.022
[SPEAKER_01]: But what are y'all saying about me then?

50:09.683 --> 50:12.466
[SPEAKER_01]: So y'all saying, I'm not worthy of the main event essentially, right?

50:12.486 --> 50:13.707
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the essence of...

50:13.687 --> 50:16.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Adam Pierce has an agenda against Finn Ballerman first.

50:16.912 --> 50:23.543
[SPEAKER_02]: He couldn't get in the rumble because he needed two grand days in the parka and now that man is saying that he's not Russell ready or worthy.

50:24.084 --> 50:29.392
[SPEAKER_01]: If I'm Finn Baller, I got a problem with Adam Pierce, but now this is great.

50:29.472 --> 50:30.914
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a really good segment.

50:31.636 --> 50:41.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And Finn Baller holding him back and then even going then went backstage, you know JD McDonald, which I kind of hope him and CM Punk have a match next week.

50:41.311 --> 50:44.575
[SPEAKER_01]: But him trying to get to him and be like, you're waiting for this jump.

50:44.615 --> 50:46.377
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm going to do this by myself.

50:46.798 --> 50:49.581
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm essentially trying to prove this to myself.

50:49.641 --> 50:52.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really liked that.

50:52.805 --> 50:54.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I also liked the way they both left and dominated.

50:54.807 --> 50:56.349
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, y'all know I still got a match, right?

50:56.970 --> 50:58.551
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, y'all just, where y'all going?

50:58.792 --> 51:00.814
[SPEAKER_02]: I still got a match, which was going on.

51:01.595 --> 51:03.397
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoy a postagament.

51:03.417 --> 51:05.800
[SPEAKER_01]: And the judgment day again,

51:06.083 --> 51:14.094
[SPEAKER_01]: The judgment day again is still one of the most important things on Monday night raw and have been since they kicked out.

51:15.096 --> 51:24.569
[SPEAKER_01]: Edge, like ever since Edge left the group, this has been one of the most important groups and segments they've had on the show and we haven't even got to live more yet.

51:24.609 --> 51:27.113
[SPEAKER_01]: So great job all around in this, I think.

51:27.093 --> 51:28.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, really good stuff.

51:28.655 --> 51:39.707
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you said, the judgment day will find a way to keep evolving and being a part of the show for many, do many iterations, including the edge years, which weren't great.

51:40.207 --> 51:45.032
[SPEAKER_00]: And when he got kicked out, things magically got better, but it was meant to be that way had to be that way.

51:45.072 --> 51:51.379
[SPEAKER_00]: And it worked out the way it intended to get to get everybody else over in that group and listen, he is.

51:51.359 --> 51:56.065
[SPEAKER_00]: idea did come to pass everybody in that group has been elevated tenfold.

51:56.145 --> 52:01.452
[SPEAKER_00]: So even though the idea and the concept in the beginning was trash.

52:01.472 --> 52:06.679
[SPEAKER_00]: In the end, it became a brilliant idea partially after when fall to mark left.

52:07.020 --> 52:15.651
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that was still his vision until he got booted in the summer of 2022 and then it kind of re-aligned itself to what we see now in many shapes and forms.

52:15.771 --> 52:17.333
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of live

52:17.313 --> 52:32.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Cole sat down with Liz and Dirty Dom to ask her, who you are challenging at WrestleMania as the winner of the 2026 Women's Warrior Rumble and Liv Morgan is still playing Khoai saying, I'm not going to reveal that information yet.

52:32.693 --> 52:33.975
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to take my time with this.

52:34.035 --> 52:35.216
[SPEAKER_00]: I like making people sweat.

52:35.597 --> 52:45.970
[SPEAKER_00]: So Stephanie Vicar came in the interview interrupted and she proceeded to drag Liv Morgan

52:46.135 --> 52:47.077
[SPEAKER_00]: in Spanish.

52:47.798 --> 52:55.631
[SPEAKER_00]: And what I loved about it is because Michael Coast says, listen, we got the extended cut on the WWE YouTube channel with translation.

52:56.092 --> 53:03.705
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can read what she said because we got the translate on lock, but the certainty of Dirty Dom basically was spring the translation to live saying,

53:04.512 --> 53:18.271
[SPEAKER_00]: when she's dragging you she's saying that you ain't shit saying that you was handed everything you was trained from the ground up and she says she came from nothing and she wrestled the best around the world and she says you ain't do that and you ain't no whole level.

53:18.492 --> 53:25.221
[SPEAKER_00]: He was basically whispering to spell like girl she's dragging you like you couldn't even say it out loud as whole she's like this says.

53:25.201 --> 53:38.800
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a read, the whole read, and then live Morgan, the actress that she is when she got the gist of what Stephanie was saying when she got up and said, I said what I said, she started to cry.

53:39.141 --> 53:50.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Her entire demeanor from cocky laughing to this woman absolutely read my ass in a different language and I had no clap back.

53:50.817 --> 53:56.323
[SPEAKER_00]: And she was devastated the rest of the night back stage, Raquel had to take her somewhere to relax.

53:56.743 --> 53:58.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the inside joke of Listen Girl.

53:58.926 --> 54:00.047
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to touch some grass.

54:00.527 --> 54:00.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.

54:00.888 --> 54:05.933
[SPEAKER_00]: We know we got to do to kind of decompress after what you went through, touch some grass.

54:06.053 --> 54:07.235
[SPEAKER_00]: I know what you mean.

54:07.255 --> 54:08.456
[SPEAKER_00]: You mean roll some.

54:08.856 --> 54:09.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand what that means.

54:10.278 --> 54:11.439
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that inside joke.

54:11.880 --> 54:15.964
[SPEAKER_00]: But I love this because now it's personal.

54:16.045 --> 54:22.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I won't live to go off of the mic and say how hard she worked to get to where she is because let's be real.

54:22.560 --> 54:24.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing was given to live.

54:24.726 --> 54:33.767
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen the live Morgan story from the beginning to where we are today and if she unleashes on that, that's your WrestleMania.

54:33.747 --> 54:34.568
[SPEAKER_00]: match.

54:34.588 --> 54:38.614
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it adds heat and meat to this rivalry.

54:38.935 --> 54:43.021
[SPEAKER_00]: I want Dom kind of out of it at this point, because Stephanie made her point known.

54:43.461 --> 54:47.107
[SPEAKER_00]: Livy's going to do a lingo and because that girl allowed in Spanish after what she did to you on Monday.

54:47.387 --> 54:50.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she drags you so bad you cried.

54:51.633 --> 54:52.735
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of loved it.

54:55.263 --> 55:07.940
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've seen the evolution of live from the right squad partner to Charlotte Flair essentially telling her you're not good enough and live being like, yeah, I'm going to come back better than ever.

55:07.960 --> 55:13.648
[SPEAKER_01]: And then instead she just came back as Bobby Lashley's mistress, no, I'm sorry.

55:15.190 --> 55:24.122
[SPEAKER_01]: She was Lana's mistress.

55:24.102 --> 55:43.607
[SPEAKER_01]: whatever they had going on to working her way to championship material to being the only person that beat Rhonda Rousey three times in a row or like two or three times in a row like she's had a long story history rear her area and now she's one of the top women on the roster.

55:43.647 --> 55:46.330
[SPEAKER_01]: So for whatever Stephanie said to her

55:46.310 --> 55:48.694
[SPEAKER_01]: must have been pretty, pretty hellacious.

55:49.215 --> 55:50.197
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this though.

55:50.758 --> 55:59.895
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still, who out of camera who said it last week might have been Lady B. I'm still under the impression and hope that Stephanie and Dirty Dom and up together.

56:00.336 --> 56:06.107
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of like the dynamic and I kind of like, I kind of hope Dom was just adding a little extra to it.

56:06.087 --> 56:22.105
[SPEAKER_02]: like, yes, you said you tried, but what she really meant is that you just be real trash like you didn't like I hope he was adding like she was probably just talking regular smack and I hope Donald was making it so much worse.

56:22.085 --> 56:29.998
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm still for that, because I think that would do a lot for Stephanie and just add a little bit more to live chase.

56:30.038 --> 56:31.681
[SPEAKER_01]: I think people want to cheer Liv Morgan.

56:31.761 --> 56:36.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think people genuinely want to root for her, especially on the journey that she's had.

56:36.910 --> 56:38.913
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, good, really good segment.

56:38.933 --> 56:47.147
[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing a much better job this week than they've done in the last two, three months with Stephanie to be honest with you.

56:47.397 --> 56:48.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, this is good stuff.

56:48.578 --> 56:54.843
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you said, the idea, the lady, be had, of Dirty Dom, and Stephanie Lincoln up, not a bad idea.

56:54.904 --> 57:03.791
[SPEAKER_00]: If they pool that trigger at WrestleMania, is the classic Trish Shratt's Christian playbook of, I'm in your corner, but actually, I'm not.

57:04.252 --> 57:08.535
[SPEAKER_00]: And that'll get live over as a big time baby face, because she's a great heal.

57:08.936 --> 57:17.303
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think that she has his natural likability of you know her story and how scrappy she's been

57:17.283 --> 57:17.523
[SPEAKER_00]: her.

57:17.583 --> 57:35.391
[SPEAKER_00]: She legit had to earn scratch, claw, survive, regime, survive that storylines to get to where she is, the Ruhard work to have people in the division see value in her own sisterhood, see like there is something in her that she can be a big time star.

57:35.411 --> 57:36.473
[SPEAKER_00]: She's proven that.

57:36.453 --> 57:41.200
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this is our opportunity to really ball out of WrestleMania again, Stephanie.

57:41.260 --> 57:47.869
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's our great opponent for Stephanie that can be a great base that can go back and fork it to you and can tell a story on the microphone.

57:48.310 --> 57:50.453
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not opposed to Dom being for the streets.

57:51.073 --> 57:54.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Like why not he is just a big go home and let him do that.

57:54.538 --> 57:55.199
[SPEAKER_00]: Let him do that.

57:55.239 --> 57:56.401
[SPEAKER_00]: He is for the streets.

57:56.781 --> 57:59.305
[SPEAKER_00]: He will find him a new mom and see to every two years.

58:01.917 --> 58:02.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

58:02.818 --> 58:03.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here for him.

58:03.819 --> 58:04.380
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you.

58:04.520 --> 58:05.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here for him in the street.

58:05.661 --> 58:08.905
[SPEAKER_01]: So like I think that's that's where he belongs until he turns baby face.

58:09.266 --> 58:09.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

58:09.866 --> 58:10.207
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah.

58:10.747 --> 58:11.989
[SPEAKER_01]: I and I'm with you for now.

58:12.029 --> 58:17.355
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Stephanie's got a nice heel run in her and I think she has the demeanor, the facials.

58:17.735 --> 58:23.402
[SPEAKER_01]: I I think she would be a great silent killer in judgment day.

58:24.445 --> 58:26.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, another takeover.

58:26.288 --> 58:30.295
[SPEAKER_00]: I love how the judgment, they just overalls everybody.

58:30.635 --> 58:34.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Kicks them out, rebuilds and just say, hey, this is a new lineup.

58:34.682 --> 58:36.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Like an NBA team, like we have revved up.

58:36.866 --> 58:38.889
[SPEAKER_00]: We have gotten our OGs out of here.

58:39.310 --> 58:40.632
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a new starting five.

58:42.620 --> 58:48.087
[SPEAKER_01]: And you already in Raquel would already have a reason because you know, she lived them took an advantage, take an advantage of her.

58:48.428 --> 58:53.034
[SPEAKER_01]: We all just wait no rock sand to be like, yeah, I've been waiting to do this anyway.

58:53.935 --> 58:58.781
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think that would, I think that would be a nice, overhaul, live and fin get kicked out.

58:59.642 --> 59:01.465
[SPEAKER_01]: You could do a lot with that for the next couple of months.

59:02.286 --> 59:05.590
[SPEAKER_00]: And then live and fin find a commonality.

59:05.789 --> 59:14.277
[SPEAKER_00]: after all that beefing, after all that passive aggressive bullshit, now y'all find common ground being the outsiders looking in.

59:14.779 --> 59:18.752
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like y'all on the outside of Pride Rock and wondering how can we get back in?

59:20.099 --> 59:28.351
[SPEAKER_01]: and then live, would have to go and, you know, go and ask the person, the two she would have to ask for help would be rear-rippling and he'll sky it.

59:28.371 --> 59:30.494
[SPEAKER_01]: If he's alive, he has tried to make hell.

59:30.794 --> 59:32.377
[SPEAKER_01]: She would have to make a men's with them.

59:32.757 --> 59:36.282
[SPEAKER_01]: And it'd be a great redemption story for her.

59:36.883 --> 59:44.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the same way Seth Rollins had to do all that when he finally turned baby face after his long heel running, he had to go back and make a men's with everybody.

59:45.555 --> 59:47.298
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you could do the same thing with Live Morgan.

59:47.318 --> 59:48.840
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it would be a great story.

59:49.495 --> 59:50.777
[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking about that too.

59:50.817 --> 01:00:04.380
[SPEAKER_00]: There is equity in a live and rear reunion that you have to earn it back that you have to basically have your back against the wall and say, well, what I did to you was happen to me and I need help and can you help me?

01:00:04.520 --> 01:00:08.787
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that and one of the best moments in Monday and I raw was when.

01:00:08.767 --> 01:00:10.569
[SPEAKER_00]: T-Nambrows now mocks for me.

01:00:10.969 --> 01:00:14.252
[SPEAKER_00]: W-Fiss bump set to say, hey, it was Gucci now.

01:00:14.672 --> 01:00:22.820
[SPEAKER_00]: It was long, hard and earned because Seth was begging and pleaded like, please forgive me and mocks from for weeks.

01:00:23.401 --> 01:00:24.301
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, fucking with you.

01:00:24.882 --> 01:00:26.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't forget my memory was long.

01:00:27.264 --> 01:00:35.652
[SPEAKER_00]: And to this day, Roman Reigns, despite a reunion or two, still hates that man for what he did almost

01:00:35.632 --> 01:00:46.958
[SPEAKER_00]: 15 years ago now, that resentment still lingers, despite the kumbaya, that moment still sings that man, and they will never fully get passed it anytime soon.

01:00:49.908 --> 01:00:56.480
[SPEAKER_01]: that's going to be a hell of a reunion one day when that happens because it's going to happen but that's that's going to be a moment to whenever that happens.

01:00:56.500 --> 01:01:07.719
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I redemption stories, especially ones with a lot of history, when told well are always great moments and moxons and Rollins was a fantastic tag.

01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:09.442
[SPEAKER_01]: They had a great tag runna.

01:01:09.623 --> 01:01:10.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, after that.

01:01:10.685 --> 01:01:11.406
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they were great.

01:01:11.626 --> 01:01:12.848
[SPEAKER_00]: They were great for sure.

01:01:13.249 --> 01:01:14.852
[SPEAKER_00]: The shield man.

01:01:14.832 --> 01:01:26.909
[SPEAKER_00]: the greatest factions to ever do it and the careers, they speak for themselves, play it in simple, they speak for themselves, and you see the little love letters in all of their matches.

01:01:26.949 --> 01:01:35.081
[SPEAKER_00]: So to this day, do they show each other across companies that bond is still pretty strong and that group chat is still pretty strong to you.

01:01:35.161 --> 01:01:39.507
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can read what is to be

01:01:39.487 --> 01:01:47.282
[SPEAKER_00]: As we get to AJ loose promo on Becky Lynch and I thought that AJ did a good job and I like how she has commanded the audience.

01:01:47.302 --> 01:01:55.437
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't hear one what check from her, which I appreciate basically lead out a I do not have I have not held a championship and well over what.

01:01:55.417 --> 01:02:04.428
[SPEAKER_00]: 12 years just about in WWE and the last championship I had was a sparkly pink butterfly belt but I love that belt.

01:02:04.548 --> 01:02:08.393
[SPEAKER_00]: I made that belt famous and I made all your famous back there.

01:02:08.433 --> 01:02:19.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I gave y'all a 10 year head start before me and after me, but I'm here right now and I still want a championship and Becky Lynch, I gave you 10 years and you still can't get on my level.

01:02:19.987 --> 01:02:22.690
[SPEAKER_00]: You still

01:02:22.670 --> 01:02:30.380
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a bit debatable because Becky has, I don't know, main of vintage WrestleMania has been a multiple time champion.

01:02:30.500 --> 01:02:34.786
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the warrior rumble, she has done it all in WWE for sure.

01:02:34.926 --> 01:02:37.430
[SPEAKER_00]: And Becky comes out to counter that.

01:02:37.870 --> 01:02:41.014
[SPEAKER_00]: And then AJ basically wants to fight, wants to scrap.

01:02:41.615 --> 01:02:46.181
[SPEAKER_00]: And Becky refuses to go a punch, a free shot that AJ gave her.

01:02:46.421 --> 01:02:51.428
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we leave it there as a hype up their match for the women's

01:02:51.408 --> 01:02:57.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Adelimination Chamber next Saturday at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois in Chicago, Illinois.

01:02:57.834 --> 01:03:03.780
[SPEAKER_00]: For what this was, it was a bit better than Becky being a bit over the top last week.

01:03:04.200 --> 01:03:14.450
[SPEAKER_00]: I do want her to kind of re-center and refocus the character a bit and not be so extra because there needs to be nuance to what she's doing.

01:03:14.850 --> 01:03:16.131
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that she can do it.

01:03:16.151 --> 01:03:20.335
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen her do it,

01:03:20.315 --> 01:03:26.808
[SPEAKER_00]: level in terms of what she can do with making this feud seem serious and not cartoony.

01:03:29.293 --> 01:03:31.076
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought AJ Lee was completely off point.

01:03:31.196 --> 01:03:36.687
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no way that she thinks her resume matches up with Becky Lynch in any way shape or form.

01:03:36.768 --> 01:03:39.832
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that kind of, that kind of took me out right there.

01:03:39.852 --> 01:03:44.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you may have laid the foundation for what they were able to build upon.

01:03:44.617 --> 01:03:49.163
[SPEAKER_01]: But Becky Lynch took that foundation and put her own over top of whatever you did.

01:03:49.423 --> 01:03:59.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, the multiple time champions, the the intercontinental title run, the main event at Russell Mania, she changed the main event herself because of how over she got.

01:03:59.515 --> 01:04:05.265
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even think they're in the same breath when it comes to resumes in all time.

01:04:05.306 --> 01:04:06.287
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk me personally.

01:04:06.468 --> 01:04:17.768
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Becky Lynch has he clipped her two three times and she could talk about the 10 years whatever Becky Lynch had a two three year run that was bigger than anything.

01:04:17.788 --> 01:04:22.637
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if there was ever a point where AJ Lee was the most over person on the entire roster.

01:04:23.191 --> 01:04:26.495
[SPEAKER_01]: on male or female because Becky Lynch was at one point.

01:04:26.856 --> 01:04:30.461
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's just me, but segment was fine.

01:04:30.481 --> 01:04:37.450
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I don't like Becky Lynch not like when AJ at least said, I know who I am, I'm not modest.

01:04:37.590 --> 01:04:40.875
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the type of arrogance that I want Becky Lynch to start carrying.

01:04:40.895 --> 01:04:43.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, you are not on my level.

01:04:43.458 --> 01:04:45.521
[SPEAKER_01]: You, you and I are not the same.

01:04:45.862 --> 01:04:49.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you go wrestle Maxine, do pre and then you come hall at me.

01:04:49.287 --> 01:04:52.332
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the type of level she needs to be saying.

01:04:52.672 --> 01:04:56.057
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the type of mindset I need back in lunch to have.

01:04:56.097 --> 01:04:56.778
[SPEAKER_01]: She's the man.

01:04:57.359 --> 01:04:58.701
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's earned that moniker.

01:04:59.162 --> 01:05:00.925
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is what it is.

01:05:01.225 --> 01:05:06.013
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really like the segment, but Becky lunch needs to get back to being the man.

01:05:06.854 --> 01:05:07.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:05:07.234 --> 01:05:10.900
[SPEAKER_01]: And whatever this

01:05:11.487 --> 01:05:14.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's not working great points all around.

01:05:14.411 --> 01:05:19.417
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, we need the Becky Lynch that got a CM Punk's face and told that man, you ain't shit.

01:05:19.898 --> 01:05:20.719
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:05:20.739 --> 01:05:29.450
[SPEAKER_00]: That Becky Lynch, the guy that man's face and slapped him verbally and physically got in that man's face and owned him.

01:05:29.510 --> 01:05:38.341
[SPEAKER_00]: The Becky Lynch that can be surgical on the mic and make you cry because she tore you down from the top down.

01:05:38.461 --> 01:05:40.043
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what she does.

01:05:40.023 --> 01:05:52.017
[SPEAKER_00]: But for whatever reason, this character, it ain't clicking with AJ, despite the bullet points that were given that were like, okay, these ain't the best bullet points.

01:05:52.037 --> 01:05:55.581
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the delivery was perfectly fine and she did what she needed to do.

01:05:55.661 --> 01:05:57.143
[SPEAKER_00]: She took things seriously.

01:05:57.703 --> 01:06:07.735
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Becky to do the same because we know you can do it.

01:06:07.715 --> 01:06:09.778
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't bring this cartoony steps to the table.

01:06:10.178 --> 01:06:12.361
[SPEAKER_00]: You were dead serious.

01:06:12.862 --> 01:06:24.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, your character was extra and over the top in terms of bouginess that they gave you the big time, but for the most part, you grounded your fused and reality and there was realism and grit to it.

01:06:24.518 --> 01:06:28.423
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Becky to go back to the man that will go all

01:06:28.403 --> 01:06:32.351
[SPEAKER_00]: on the mic and have people owing and owing.

01:06:32.411 --> 01:06:34.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Where is that Rebecca?

01:06:34.575 --> 01:06:36.699
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I don't see her right now.

01:06:37.100 --> 01:06:49.585
[SPEAKER_00]: I see a caricature and that ain't gonna cut it at all for me when I know she has a money promo in her to really sell this match against AJ at elimination chamber for the ISC title.

01:06:51.235 --> 01:07:01.469
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then, you know, maybe it may be show do that next week, but she just needs to bring that confidence back because her resume and everything that she's done speaks for itself.

01:07:02.451 --> 01:07:03.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, so she's got to bring it.

01:07:04.213 --> 01:07:13.787
[SPEAKER_00]: We have one more go home show in my home town of Atlanta looking forward to that speaking of ATL, speaking of eight town down, not all some theory, please.

01:07:14.368 --> 01:07:21.057
[SPEAKER_00]: But we got a video package that might have been three weeks

01:07:21.037 --> 01:07:31.986
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I immediately have my eyebrows raised because next week on Monday Night Raw, it is going to be a tribute to the phenomenal A.J.

01:07:32.287 --> 01:07:32.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Styles.

01:07:33.107 --> 01:07:35.109
[SPEAKER_00]: In Atlanta, his hometown.

01:07:35.570 --> 01:07:40.294
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know somewhere in Texas, Goberg is flipping tables.

01:07:40.654 --> 01:07:43.276
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he gets a show in Atlanta.

01:07:43.877 --> 01:07:45.578
[SPEAKER_00]: I had my retirement in Atlanta.

01:07:45.879 --> 01:07:48.080
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets a whole segment of Monday Night Raw.

01:07:48.241 --> 01:07:51.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's the phenomenal agent's house.

01:07:51.023 --> 01:07:51.704
[SPEAKER_00]: and what.

01:07:52.326 --> 01:07:59.981
[SPEAKER_00]: But I smell angle alert and it also tells me somebody resigned with WWE.

01:08:00.021 --> 01:08:03.328
[SPEAKER_00]: This retirement tour is now back on.

01:08:08.422 --> 01:08:10.545
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know what's going on, man.

01:08:10.645 --> 01:08:13.749
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what Ryan Ward and then are trying to cook up here.

01:08:13.769 --> 01:08:23.963
[SPEAKER_01]: And like the next season of Unreal's got a lot of explaining to do, you know, I don't know, man.

01:08:24.584 --> 01:08:29.371
[SPEAKER_01]: He put the glows back on, you know, I guess he's not all the lead right now.

01:08:29.892 --> 01:08:32.956
[SPEAKER_01]: So like you said, apparently he signed a contract.

01:08:32.976 --> 01:08:37.382
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see if it's for one show or if it's for a couple months to get him the WrestleMania.

01:08:39.370 --> 01:08:55.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Next week will be cool, I guess, you know, it would have been very hard for WWE to gift rap AJ to AEW and say, here Tony Khan, here is all the tree matches you can possibly imagine.

01:08:55.215 --> 01:08:57.439
[SPEAKER_00]: They were not going to do that.

01:08:58.501 --> 01:09:00.203
[SPEAKER_00]: They would look stupid if they did that.

01:09:01.385 --> 01:09:02.767
[SPEAKER_01]: That boy must have got a bag.

01:09:03.268 --> 01:09:04.150
[SPEAKER_00]: A hefty bag.

01:09:04.390 --> 01:09:05.732
[SPEAKER_00]: That bag is heavy.

01:09:06.742 --> 01:09:10.468
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an AJ Lee size back in that bag that she got at 72.

01:09:10.869 --> 01:09:11.850
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a heavy bag.

01:09:12.251 --> 01:09:15.196
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a heavy hefty bag because nothing else makes sense.

01:09:15.476 --> 01:09:18.702
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to come back in Atlanta to do your farewell.

01:09:19.002 --> 01:09:19.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Some smells.

01:09:20.605 --> 01:09:24.211
[SPEAKER_00]: They picked Atlanta your hometown, your backyard, be for real.

01:09:26.815 --> 01:09:29.219
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he about to, he about to challenge going through.

01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:33.306
[SPEAKER_01]: He about to, listen, man, I got one more match in me.

01:09:34.265 --> 01:09:41.616
[SPEAKER_01]: It's I don't know so it's got to be something like something something's got to be like you said something's got to be in the works.

01:09:41.636 --> 01:09:42.962
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to have another match.

01:09:42.982 --> 01:09:43.785
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not just

01:09:45.014 --> 01:09:46.175
[SPEAKER_01]: We ain't seen you seen a bat.

01:09:46.496 --> 01:09:48.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you're not just coming back exactly.

01:09:48.478 --> 01:09:53.785
[SPEAKER_02]: They just have a special tribute show because we're in your hometown, right?

01:09:53.805 --> 01:09:54.526
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

01:09:55.226 --> 01:09:59.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't bring Chocina out for one more Monday night raw to say goodbye.

01:09:59.612 --> 01:10:00.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was done in DC.

01:10:01.234 --> 01:10:08.883
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Yosin, let's bring this man to his hometown in the A and say, let's say a proper goodbye to AJ.

01:10:09.203 --> 01:10:12.287
[SPEAKER_00]: We all could have did this at the Royal Rumble in Philly three weeks ago.

01:10:13.955 --> 01:10:15.557
[SPEAKER_01]: and we all know tribulations don't care.

01:10:15.618 --> 01:10:17.641
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing about AJ Styles that much to give that man.

01:10:18.081 --> 01:10:20.946
[SPEAKER_01]: Voldemort like AJ Styles a lot more than we could tell tribulations.

01:10:21.186 --> 01:10:28.217
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so again, whatever Ryan wore, whatever you got cooking man, you got the box.

01:10:28.958 --> 01:10:30.441
[SPEAKER_02]: We got AJ Styles coming back.

01:10:30.461 --> 01:10:33.626
[SPEAKER_01]: You got a lot of explaining to do and a lot of reveals going on.

01:10:33.666 --> 01:10:38.393
[SPEAKER_01]: We, you got a lot of eggs in this basket man and hope they don't drop it.

01:10:39.402 --> 01:10:44.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they already be shuffling, rastomania, to make sure it's must see with these ticket cells being what they are.

01:10:45.031 --> 01:10:47.856
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love people thinking, oh, they're going to sell it out.

01:10:47.916 --> 01:10:51.381
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, you do realize we'll make less money this year, right, with more cops.

01:10:51.782 --> 01:10:57.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you can't account for 20,000 tickets in two months.

01:10:58.132 --> 01:11:01.618
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a heavy load, push, heavy.

01:11:02.860 --> 01:11:03.661
[SPEAKER_00]: It's heavy load.

01:11:04.322 --> 01:11:06.085
[SPEAKER_00]: You think they're going to do that in two months?

01:11:06.757 --> 01:11:12.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you papering they will comp say will naturally push and tickets?

01:11:12.140 --> 01:11:15.253
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know unless they call some big names, I don't see it.

01:11:15.876 --> 01:11:17.121
[SPEAKER_00]: The math they math in.

01:11:18.839 --> 01:11:30.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they don't say that we, whatever big names you think of coming, they might be coming next year, they won't be this, Saudi Arabia is going to throw out that money to get them their next year, it won't be this year, though.

01:11:30.216 --> 01:11:30.797
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

01:11:30.857 --> 01:11:44.678
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a watch one where the other, but we shall see what WWE has and serve for us for the alleged tribute show to AJ Styles next week at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia should be fascinating.

01:11:44.658 --> 01:12:07.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Unreal season four is when we fascinating as Paul Ivec will say once again Well, technically we did not release AJ Styles his contract simply lapsed after warrior rumble and at that point We opened the door up for renegotiations because I was not going to let Tony Khan take the phenomenal one away from me listen

01:12:08.114 --> 01:12:16.600
[SPEAKER_00]: I do have my red line and that red line is not giving Tony match of the year candidates for six months.

01:12:17.162 --> 01:12:22.258
[SPEAKER_01]: That's stupid of me.

01:12:23.622 --> 01:12:26.608
[SPEAKER_01]: They go, they go how they matches of the year, and then you can do about that.

01:12:26.648 --> 01:12:30.936
[SPEAKER_01]: You just need to try to have the better stories because you know, you ain't putting no matches.

01:12:30.956 --> 01:12:32.058
[SPEAKER_01]: They put no and over there.

01:12:32.078 --> 01:12:34.323
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going exactly exactly exactly.

01:12:34.343 --> 01:12:44.382
[SPEAKER_00]: They got their gun as to and at the same time, you got to stories to make your matches pop and the stories right now are not hitting in some cases, but you still got.

01:12:44.362 --> 01:12:48.549
[SPEAKER_00]: couple months to go into WrestleMania to see what they can do in the home stretch.

01:12:49.110 --> 01:13:05.138
[SPEAKER_00]: As we get to the main event of Monday Night RAW, which was an elimination chamber qualifying to Petret match involving Gunther, the in a car no champion and triple A mega champion, dirty Dominic Mysterio and one Javan Evans and this match was.

01:13:05.118 --> 01:13:05.940
[SPEAKER_00]: pretty good.

01:13:06.061 --> 01:13:10.433
[SPEAKER_00]: For what it was, Chavon and Dirty Dom and Gunther work great together.

01:13:10.814 --> 01:13:12.238
[SPEAKER_00]: Saw some really good nearfalls.

01:13:12.278 --> 01:13:13.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Javon was great as usual.

01:13:13.702 --> 01:13:20.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Dirty Dom getting back in the swing of things posed partially separate as shown or in Gunther's always great per the usual.

01:13:20.542 --> 01:13:27.518
[SPEAKER_00]: and then we had dirty domed trying to use the ring bell as a weapon to get the advantage that backfired at one point.

01:13:27.558 --> 01:13:38.061
[SPEAKER_00]: And then out of nowhere, to play into an ongoing storyline, dragon Lee woke up from his sleep and hit Gunther with the ring bell which enabled Giovanna Evans to afford the 619.

01:13:38.041 --> 01:13:46.471
[SPEAKER_00]: hit the OG cutter on Dirty Dom to get the win, to move on to elimination chamber next Saturday in Chicago.

01:13:46.491 --> 01:13:50.235
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this is a very subtle message right Paul Levek.

01:13:50.255 --> 01:14:03.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's zoom in on Javan at the very end to show his sparkly beautiful personality on full display because yes, he's black

01:14:06.408 --> 01:14:11.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know what, maybe it could be Triple H being like, yeah, we, we like to run the way he is.

01:14:11.855 --> 01:14:13.857
[SPEAKER_01]: So if it is, Kudos to you.

01:14:14.458 --> 01:14:20.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I hope the OG cutter gets some love next year for Finisher of the year because it's one of the best ones that we W. We has.

01:14:20.906 --> 01:14:23.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Another strong match.

01:14:23.789 --> 01:14:27.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, it's probably my, my second favorite triple thread of the week.

01:14:27.367 --> 01:14:31.593
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, a lot more good main event.

01:14:31.633 --> 01:14:39.024
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done a good job of maintaining these elimination chamber matches to give them more feeling, Gunther had an out for not winning.

01:14:39.464 --> 01:14:42.108
[SPEAKER_01]: And now him and Dragon League can have a really strong match next week.

01:14:43.390 --> 01:14:45.113
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm looking forward to that as well.

01:14:45.213 --> 01:14:53.645
[SPEAKER_00]: As we also get into the tribute special to AJ Styles and Atlanta that Gunther were most definitely crash.

01:14:54.506 --> 01:14:55.888
[SPEAKER_00]: You know he will.

01:14:56.037 --> 01:15:00.645
[SPEAKER_00]: That would not be a nice warm, lovely retirement ceremony.

01:15:00.865 --> 01:15:04.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Ice, motion and against them all away and somebody's going to get a bag.

01:15:04.732 --> 01:15:07.977
[SPEAKER_00]: It is going to be AJ Styles and Fernando, I totally agree.

01:15:07.997 --> 01:15:14.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Giovanna Evans in this setting is going to put on an absolute show in that shame for match.

01:15:14.448 --> 01:15:15.369
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be a star.

01:15:15.429 --> 01:15:17.731
[SPEAKER_00]: My one concern is that I do not want it.

01:15:18.292 --> 01:15:34.989
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not want history to repeat itself as it did three years ago when the one and only Montess Ford was the fresh prince of Ford came out there and put on a show and that man never got pushed again as a single star.

01:15:36.270 --> 01:15:44.218
[SPEAKER_01]: And that still boggles my mind to this day.

01:15:44.570 --> 01:15:49.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's got a shot to really do something in this company.

01:15:49.726 --> 01:15:58.512
[SPEAKER_01]: I think him, Oh, but in trick, I think those are three people that are black enough in their own right and are going to do just fine.

01:15:59.167 --> 01:16:00.469
[SPEAKER_00]: absolutely for sure.

01:16:00.509 --> 01:16:06.799
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have some news about Bianca Belair as well, according to her ID story that dropped on Sunday night.

01:16:07.701 --> 01:16:14.091
[SPEAKER_00]: This finger saga takes another, it takes another turn as she recently has surgery on that finger.

01:16:14.952 --> 01:16:17.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Just now, as we're talking.

01:16:18.218 --> 01:16:19.622
[SPEAKER_00]: just now having surgery.

01:16:19.642 --> 01:16:22.729
[SPEAKER_00]: At first, I thought, is this unreal season three?

01:16:22.769 --> 01:16:30.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you trying to manipulate me emotionally and make me believe that she is just now having surgery for this finger and will miss Rasmania?

01:16:31.612 --> 01:16:34.118
[SPEAKER_00]: God, this is really gone on for almost a year.

01:16:35.988 --> 01:16:37.610
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, speedy recovery for the queen.

01:16:37.630 --> 01:16:40.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that knuckle and it looked crazy.

01:16:41.595 --> 01:16:44.158
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I hope she heals up well.

01:16:44.798 --> 01:16:49.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Whenever she does come back, it is going to be an overwhelming ovation for her.

01:16:50.625 --> 01:16:57.253
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, heal up, get well soon, and keep feeding my test because it's getting good.

01:16:57.436 --> 01:17:04.566
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, it reminds me of when Stephanie Fett Triple H that Keesh at the crib from that WWE cookbook.

01:17:04.586 --> 01:17:07.550
[SPEAKER_00]: She had that man home fed in 2003.

01:17:07.930 --> 01:17:10.874
[SPEAKER_00]: She was cooking newly wet meals with that man.

01:17:10.894 --> 01:17:14.339
[SPEAKER_00]: He was 10, I Keesh up back in 2020, back in 2003.

01:17:15.020 --> 01:17:19.446
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that man was off that HCH in 2020 because they were, because he was drug tested.

01:17:19.466 --> 01:17:20.668
[SPEAKER_00]: That was what we were going on.

01:17:20.688 --> 01:17:21.529
[SPEAKER_00]: They were a skype.

01:17:21.569 --> 01:17:22.971
[SPEAKER_00]: He was also in that Keesh.

01:17:23.643 --> 01:17:26.666
[SPEAKER_00]: But the key she was cooking, he was eating the hell out of it, man.

01:17:26.906 --> 01:17:28.147
[SPEAKER_00]: He was eating and he was eating.

01:17:29.588 --> 01:17:30.069
[SPEAKER_02]: You're dead.

01:17:31.870 --> 01:17:40.939
[SPEAKER_00]: If Fernando knows the worst finger injury of all time, it could possibly is like one finger injury can hold you out for an entire year.

01:17:43.721 --> 01:17:48.686
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the best personal media matches of all time for the women, it's not just period.

01:17:49.386 --> 01:17:51.388
[SPEAKER_01]: And she, yes, that's the last match she's had.

01:17:53.039 --> 01:18:12.972
[SPEAKER_00]: greatness comes at a high cost, it came at the cost of her finger, but hopefully she is on the road to recovery for real and that we get to see her back in a WWE ring very soon as we quickly get to some smacked on highlights from this past Friday as she'll went down live from Dallas, Texas and one of the highlights for me was

01:18:12.952 --> 01:18:16.356
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay Carr, I go to fitting her championship against Jordan Grace.

01:18:16.516 --> 01:18:23.264
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this match is really good and Jordan Grace is going to get is going to get the best out of her opponent.

01:18:23.324 --> 01:18:28.670
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know there's been so much commentary about Jade and her wrestling.

01:18:28.990 --> 01:18:37.440
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hear the pot shots, certain people make on

01:18:37.420 --> 01:18:42.609
[SPEAKER_00]: when she's in the ring with horses that can match her intensity in her level.

01:18:43.010 --> 01:18:47.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess what the match is tend to be good and Friday was no exception.

01:18:47.057 --> 01:18:48.680
[SPEAKER_00]: I really enjoyed this match.

01:18:48.700 --> 01:18:59.158
[SPEAKER_00]: One of Jay's best outings, one of her best-selling jobs because when Jordan targeted the arm, guess she had to do, use a one arm shaded to get the victory.

01:19:01.636 --> 01:19:03.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, good finish with different animals.

01:19:03.980 --> 01:19:07.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely one of her best matches that she's had here in WWE for sure.

01:19:07.667 --> 01:19:14.198
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I just think she needs to continue wrestling and Jordan Grace is, I think she's going to have a good year.

01:19:14.278 --> 01:19:21.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I, I, they put her in there for a reason to help carry, um, well, I'm sorry, carry, but they help lead J to this great match or a really good match.

01:19:21.270 --> 01:19:25.197
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

01:19:25.177 --> 01:19:29.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Jordan Grace is going to get a run with that title at some point this year.

01:19:29.494 --> 01:19:32.706
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is the last time we'll see her having a title shot.

01:19:33.732 --> 01:19:34.654
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree for sure.

01:19:35.175 --> 01:19:39.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Tidal rain is definitely in Jordan's future and the not so distant future.

01:19:40.185 --> 01:19:47.579
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to be honest because how things realigning with Bianca's injury, that could happen definitely sooner rather than later heading into WrestleMania season.

01:19:48.140 --> 01:19:55.875
[SPEAKER_00]: As we get to the promo silings of trick Williams on SmackDown this past Friday over in Dallas,

01:19:55.855 --> 01:19:57.217
[SPEAKER_00]: with the whip that trick chan.

01:19:57.558 --> 01:19:59.180
[SPEAKER_00]: They would have loved him in Memphis tonight.

01:19:59.260 --> 01:20:02.786
[SPEAKER_00]: I tell you that much, because it was chan, whip that trick throughout the show.

01:20:02.826 --> 01:20:04.889
[SPEAKER_00]: He would have gotten a massive ovation.

01:20:05.250 --> 01:20:10.198
[SPEAKER_00]: If he came out there at some point surprised, they didn't lean into that, but they don't know the culture like that.

01:20:10.318 --> 01:20:13.262
[SPEAKER_00]: In 360 Mafia and have some flow, they don't understand.

01:20:13.443 --> 01:20:15.866
[SPEAKER_00]: But if he was there, they would have got it immediately.

01:20:16.447 --> 01:20:17.509
[SPEAKER_00]: But...

01:20:17.489 --> 01:20:32.694
[SPEAKER_00]: trick comes out there on the microphone and his all-life it and he proceeds to take a shovel and Barry, Sammy Zane, six feet under on the microphone saying that Sammy Zane got sketches on his feet.

01:20:33.355 --> 01:20:35.278
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a combed his hair.

01:20:35.258 --> 01:20:51.023
[SPEAKER_00]: His breast smells like 10 pounds of balsett ass and he's a loser and he would never win and he's not going to win and I said to this man stop Sammy's already dead.

01:20:51.712 --> 01:21:16.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do wonder the sustainability of Sami Zayn as a baby face at this juncture because WWE is playing a very dangerous game of do you really want to wait another year to build Sami Zayn up as a potential champion with all the losing he's done in the last year you willing to go all the way there.

01:21:16.703 --> 01:21:17.426
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

01:21:17.447 --> 01:21:25.887
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that Sam and he's a hill turn stop gap because trick is literally whipping that trick on the mic and the fans are eating it up.

01:21:28.145 --> 01:21:29.686
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Sam you'll be okay.

01:21:29.726 --> 01:21:35.231
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think Trick Williams is the guy that put him across from one because of his promo style.

01:21:35.252 --> 01:21:49.104
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, he's got a lingo to him, he's got a swag to him, the way he puts his words together is it's completely different from anyone else on the roster and also people don't want to boot Trick Williams.

01:21:49.324 --> 01:21:51.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Like people want to get behind them.

01:21:51.486 --> 01:21:52.968
[SPEAKER_01]: People want him to succeed.

01:21:53.448 --> 01:21:57.612
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how long you can keep Trick Williams a heel to be honest with you.

01:21:57.710 --> 01:22:04.759
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a massive baby face waiting to happen, like a massive baby face waiting to happen.

01:22:05.260 --> 01:22:06.081
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Samuel B.

01:22:06.141 --> 01:22:10.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Fine, he's gonna take his lumps.

01:22:11.668 --> 01:22:16.814
[SPEAKER_01]: He won't get the reaction that they're probably looking for, but I think he'll be okay.

01:22:17.575 --> 01:22:26.687
[SPEAKER_01]: But trick Williams says, I think it says more about trick Williams than anything, that man is going to be a massive, massive baby face.

01:22:27.646 --> 01:22:28.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:22:28.627 --> 01:22:32.132
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think they can fight it for too much longer because he's still over right now.

01:22:32.652 --> 01:22:33.734
[SPEAKER_00]: The fans love him.

01:22:33.754 --> 01:22:35.676
[SPEAKER_00]: He's that command of the microphone.

01:22:35.736 --> 01:22:37.198
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd.

01:22:37.238 --> 01:22:40.483
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really incredible to see not nervous in the moment.

01:22:40.503 --> 01:22:45.609
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a pretty solid match against Ray Phoenix this past Friday, better than their match overseas last month.

01:22:45.810 --> 01:22:50.175
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can't fight the tide and they're trying to very best.

01:22:50.796 --> 01:22:53.940
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think it's going to last very long.

01:22:54.292 --> 01:22:56.636
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Fernando makes a very good point.

01:22:57.137 --> 01:22:59.561
[SPEAKER_00]: Stone Cold's Mike skills got bread hard food.

01:23:00.202 --> 01:23:00.583
[SPEAKER_00]: It did.

01:23:00.603 --> 01:23:01.584
[SPEAKER_00]: It did.

01:23:02.205 --> 01:23:05.291
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how Brett kind of turned heel heading into that year's WrestleMania.

01:23:05.651 --> 01:23:09.918
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reverse baby face turn of what happened in that match for sure as well.

01:23:13.004 --> 01:23:15.648
[SPEAKER_01]: If Sammy does turn heel, I don't think it'll be trick wins.

01:23:15.688 --> 01:23:16.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be Cody Rhodes.

01:23:17.611 --> 01:23:18.072
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

01:23:19.148 --> 01:23:20.069
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs something.

01:23:20.370 --> 01:23:31.965
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs something because if you try to push that man all the way to next to his WrestleMania, potentially in a main event spot, you have got to do something to reheat him up because right now the fans don't believe in him.

01:23:32.125 --> 01:23:34.148
[SPEAKER_00]: As Fernando says he is sandwiched, he is sandwiched.

01:23:34.168 --> 01:23:34.608
[SPEAKER_00]: He's regular.

01:23:35.349 --> 01:23:45.122
[SPEAKER_00]: He's starting to look weak amongst the people who have belief and faith in him to be a champion and that faith is waning due to the booking of it all and that will weigh heavily as some point as well.

01:23:47.887 --> 01:23:53.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, especially as a vet somebody who's already made invented a WrestleMania one a WrestleMania main event.

01:23:53.432 --> 01:23:54.874
[SPEAKER_01]: So no, he grew.

01:23:54.894 --> 01:23:59.899
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to be heated up soon, but I take him off TV for a couple months after WrestleMania.

01:23:59.959 --> 01:24:01.380
[SPEAKER_01]: I think him and trick with him.

01:24:01.420 --> 01:24:03.322
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm having a one-on-one match trick beat him.

01:24:03.722 --> 01:24:05.224
[SPEAKER_01]: He needs to go away for a little bit.

01:24:05.304 --> 01:24:07.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Take him off TV a couple of three, four months.

01:24:08.667 --> 01:24:11.930
[SPEAKER_01]: Bring him back right around the fall of time when you need a little extra star power.

01:24:11.990 --> 01:24:14.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I think you start rebuilding him up from there.

01:24:15.005 --> 01:24:32.220
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so one would only hope and we can only hope at this point for Sammy as we do have two elimination chamber matches that were in the mix in terms of qualifying matches Alexa Bliss is in the elimination chamber match for the women and Cody Rhodes.

01:24:32.200 --> 01:24:47.475
[SPEAKER_00]: was able to beat Sami Zayn and Jacob Fattu to get in this match at elimination chamber to possibly win the match to face Drew McIntyre for the undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

01:24:50.729 --> 01:24:55.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the Alexa match was fine, but that main event was great.

01:24:55.955 --> 01:24:57.577
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought those three really showed out.

01:24:57.718 --> 01:25:02.103
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be very hard to keep Jacob Fatt to out of that WrestleMania match.

01:25:05.147 --> 01:25:08.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Even if Cody wins the chamber, I think Fatt to somehow get to end there.

01:25:08.711 --> 01:25:09.792
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you gotta put him in.

01:25:09.812 --> 01:25:11.114
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, people want to cheer for him.

01:25:11.134 --> 01:25:14.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's earned this spot, as far as what he's been able to do in this feud.

01:25:14.758 --> 01:25:16.781
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's been elevated in this feud.

01:25:17.502 --> 01:25:19.504
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly,

01:25:19.484 --> 01:25:27.837
[SPEAKER_01]: if he doesn't get some type of last chance match or anything like that, I wouldn't be surprised if he costs Cody Rhodes to the match in the elimination chamber.

01:25:28.899 --> 01:25:45.846
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, which opens the door to who could win this chamber match in five for the outstanding championship of WrestleMania, very intriguing if Jacob costs that man in the match, because one of the paths this Cody have is somebody else surprisingly wins at the chamber.

01:25:47.699 --> 01:26:06.653
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the best elimination chamber matches they ever had was the one where Edge took out Kofi came into the match and John Cena was like either the first or second man eliminated and he was the champion heavy favorite and the look on their faces whenever they hit like six finishers on them in a row by the way.

01:26:06.633 --> 01:26:09.218
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was like one of the first people eliminated.

01:26:09.338 --> 01:26:14.308
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reaction from the crowd from the wrestlers, some that are perfectly out.

01:26:14.328 --> 01:26:17.434
[SPEAKER_01]: You do something like that with Cody, especially if I had to word interfere.

01:26:17.495 --> 01:26:19.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only would...

01:26:19.492 --> 01:26:20.694
[SPEAKER_01]: you get that type of reaction.

01:26:20.714 --> 01:26:27.464
[SPEAKER_01]: But then it would just add a whole feel of unpredictability that I think it's kind of missing right now from WWE.

01:26:27.484 --> 01:26:36.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's okay to go paint by the numbers, but every now and then, like Cody versus Fox 2 is a fine and more than welcome WrestleMania match.

01:26:36.398 --> 01:26:37.700
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to do something different.

01:26:37.741 --> 01:26:47.676
[SPEAKER_01]: So they have options, they can do different things, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cody is either one of the first people eliminated just to shake things up.

01:26:48.398 --> 01:26:49.399
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love it.

01:26:49.519 --> 01:26:50.741
[SPEAKER_00]: We need something shocking.

01:26:50.801 --> 01:27:03.138
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that the writing teams in the lab trying to reconfigure WrestleMania in terms of the cards, even though we don't know what the cards are just about y'all because y'all scared of the ticket sales and wondering what can we do?

01:27:03.198 --> 01:27:06.843
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll see how this all pans out at elimination chamber.

01:27:07.323 --> 01:27:18.338
[SPEAKER_00]: As we got two chamber matches, we have a championship match and a crate to look for it too.

01:27:21.828 --> 01:27:23.750
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how would you as Brad Pitt showing up?

01:27:23.770 --> 01:27:24.852
[SPEAKER_01]: What's in the box?

01:27:25.132 --> 01:27:28.196
[SPEAKER_00]: This is something that I know what you're saying.

01:27:28.216 --> 01:27:33.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Scott, I guarantee you, we will care when this box is unveiled at elimination chamber.

01:27:36.226 --> 01:27:37.948
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see who's in, said box.

01:27:37.988 --> 01:27:41.092
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's all said and done, is it a blank in a box?

01:27:41.252 --> 01:27:41.753
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know.

01:27:42.213 --> 01:27:43.735
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know what's in the box.

01:27:44.778 --> 01:27:45.639
[SPEAKER_01]: They'd better not be.

01:27:45.659 --> 01:27:46.380
[SPEAKER_01]: I could tell you that.

01:27:46.400 --> 01:27:47.581
[SPEAKER_01]: That is not PG.

01:27:48.322 --> 01:27:51.406
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not Jack in the box.

01:27:51.426 --> 01:27:52.167
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't know.

01:27:52.187 --> 01:27:54.890
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got no, that would not be PG.

01:27:54.910 --> 01:27:57.153
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is Debbie W. We expect anything from them.

01:27:57.613 --> 01:27:58.975
[SPEAKER_00]: And that writers room for sure.

01:27:59.035 --> 01:28:04.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And with that, we're not even talking about NXT and talk about show was just a show last week.

01:28:04.401 --> 01:28:11.730
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not coming to Atlanta because guess what the parking lot was bought at center stage and they can't park their trucks there.

01:28:12.284 --> 01:28:15.247
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're coming back to the PC next week.

01:28:15.408 --> 01:28:15.768
[SPEAKER_00]: Joy.

01:28:15.808 --> 01:28:20.834
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody wants to be an LN anyway.

01:28:20.874 --> 01:28:22.656
[SPEAKER_02]: Trey Young was like, I don't want to be any more.

01:28:22.696 --> 01:28:23.978
[SPEAKER_02]: So I get it.

01:28:25.099 --> 01:28:27.582
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, do not take digs at my city.

01:28:28.083 --> 01:28:31.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you have nothing but flying squirrels to look for it too.

01:28:32.268 --> 01:28:33.068
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're in the woods.

01:28:33.449 --> 01:28:36.733
[SPEAKER_00]: Coming from my city and my team, the audacity of you.

01:28:36.773 --> 01:28:40.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Take your flying squirrels and go.

01:28:41.596 --> 01:28:46.383
[SPEAKER_01]: But I could tell you this, my flying squirrels got more wins than your Hawks due to last two years.

01:28:46.443 --> 01:28:47.125
[SPEAKER_01]: I could tell you that.

01:28:47.946 --> 01:28:55.257
[SPEAKER_00]: No, if we run the numbers up at Adam, we won't actually compare a kind of show flying squirrels and the Hawks and see if they get to 500.

01:28:55.698 --> 01:28:59.824
[SPEAKER_00]: The audacity of you knows that.

01:29:01.795 --> 01:29:02.656
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I went there.

01:29:03.297 --> 01:29:16.490
[SPEAKER_00]: But with that, we'll talk about NXT next week because there is some relevance regarding J.C. Jane defending her NXT when his championship against SoRuka as we think finally by the grace of God, Zarya would turn on her.

01:29:17.191 --> 01:29:18.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Please do it.

01:29:18.332 --> 01:29:19.473
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been waiting too long.

01:29:21.335 --> 01:29:28.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's either her or Soul Ruka wins and then Zarya's like, all right, all right, I've had enough of this.

01:29:28.983 --> 01:29:30.705
[SPEAKER_01]: This can't go on anymore.

01:29:32.542 --> 01:29:49.201
[SPEAKER_00]: I will not be ignored and we'll see how far it goes next week for sure when we're talking about a more relevant edition of NXT ending into their stand and deliver, PLE during WrestleMania weekend and he starts building towards that in the next month or so.

01:29:49.741 --> 01:30:01.975
[SPEAKER_00]: So with that before we go, it is now time for Scott to reveal his match of the week,

01:30:01.955 --> 01:30:04.058
[SPEAKER_00]: evolve on tubing.

01:30:06.361 --> 01:30:07.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's definitely not to be.

01:30:07.423 --> 01:30:08.004
[SPEAKER_01]: I can tell you that.

01:30:08.324 --> 01:30:12.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody versus Fatu and Sammy was a great match.

01:30:12.851 --> 01:30:17.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, they did a great hook for with the the Drew Sammy promo with the Drew promo.

01:30:18.378 --> 01:30:22.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, talking about him interfering was great laying Sammy on top.

01:30:22.705 --> 01:30:24.227
[SPEAKER_01]: The near falls were really good.

01:30:25.168 --> 01:30:28.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Fatu looked fantastic in the match.

01:30:28.112 --> 01:30:30.696
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's my match

01:30:30.811 --> 01:30:31.673
[SPEAKER_00]: great choice.

01:30:31.733 --> 01:30:37.007
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a co-sign on that as well as I was a great match on SmackDown on sci-fi.

01:30:37.027 --> 01:30:41.999
[SPEAKER_00]: There are beyond the same network again because of the last Friday of the winter Olympics.

01:30:42.040 --> 01:30:43.403
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be back on.

01:30:44.125 --> 01:30:59.705
[SPEAKER_00]: USA for the go home show for elimination chamber next Friday on the USA network getting ready for elimination chamber in Chicago and Fernando votes for Jade versus Jordan Grace for his match of the week, as well.

01:31:00.225 --> 01:31:01.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice run a wrap for sure.

01:31:01.587 --> 01:31:11.179
[SPEAKER_00]: As we'll see where Jade's a path to resume it towards

01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:16.705
[SPEAKER_00]: at WrestleMania, but now we're getting that hint that it could be Stephanie in all likelihood.

01:31:16.745 --> 01:31:37.808
[SPEAKER_00]: And with that, that is a wrap for all things WWE, as we talked about the week so far in some hot topics that had the timeline blazing over the last 24 hours or so, I want to think my co-capped and not just salty, but every nickname I give him just clicks, shout out to Pockshaw, Scott Young, tonight.

01:31:40.420 --> 01:31:43.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, actually I don't mind punctual.

01:31:43.084 --> 01:31:43.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I works pretty well.

01:31:44.486 --> 01:31:45.608
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always thank you for having me.

01:31:45.668 --> 01:31:51.777
[SPEAKER_01]: Keela's a pleasure to chop it up and talk all things, WWE, look forward to the week that we have Fernando.

01:31:51.797 --> 01:31:54.841
[SPEAKER_01]: I go ahead and add Alexa to that match as well.

01:31:54.881 --> 01:31:56.864
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we might get a triple threat with those three.

01:31:57.886 --> 01:31:59.869
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I'll talk to you all next week.

01:31:59.889 --> 01:32:00.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate you Fernando.

01:32:00.890 --> 01:32:21.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so we back next week for the alleged tribute to AJ Styles in Atlanta should be an interesting show to say the least of the go home show for the chamber in the A and we'll make elimination chamber predictions who will punch their tickets to WrestleMania who will face the champions left standing.

01:32:21.330 --> 01:32:29.918
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see looking forward to that and to fall out from the NXT show to

01:32:29.898 --> 01:32:31.980
[SPEAKER_00]: The CW, will it be a no worthy show?

01:32:32.040 --> 01:32:34.382
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see if we can talk about it next week on this very show.

01:32:34.863 --> 01:32:44.632
[SPEAKER_00]: We're probably leading towards elimination chamber of predictions and projections heading into the last PLE before WrestleMania and Las Vegas.

01:32:47.896 --> 01:32:51.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we'll see if NXT has anything to say.

01:32:51.199 --> 01:32:54.762
[SPEAKER_01]: I, uh, unless soul wins, probably not.

01:32:55.263 --> 01:32:55.923
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not much.

01:32:55.984 --> 01:32:59.567
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't expect it, but we shall see as always.

01:33:00.307 --> 01:33:01.448
[SPEAKER_00]: That's this week so far.

01:33:01.488 --> 01:33:06.853
[SPEAKER_00]: And WWE want to thank Fernando for joining us in a live chat for throughout the show tonight.

01:33:06.913 --> 01:33:08.955
