Roman Reigns returns on RAW, Counterprogramming & WWE Evolution fallout | The WRAP

WEBVTT

00:10.078 --> 00:15.703
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new episode of the rap right here on the fight game media network.

00:16.043 --> 00:31.558
[SPEAKER_02]: Happy Wednesday morning to you all as we're here to recap the week so far in WWE as we wind down a very busy weekend of professional wrestling three big shows from WWE this past weekend Saturday night's main event.

00:32.962 --> 00:40.246
[SPEAKER_02]: NXT's Great American Bash and, of course, WWE evolution to all going down from Atlanta, Georgia.

00:40.766 --> 00:42.848
[SPEAKER_02]: I am your co-host, Keela Cash.

00:42.888 --> 00:47.130
[SPEAKER_02]: And by my side, as always, is my co-capped in my right hand.

00:47.150 --> 00:51.332
[SPEAKER_02]: He sometimes advocate for the rapidly improving Mr. Daparker from NXT.

00:51.692 --> 00:56.775
[SPEAKER_02]: I bring to you back on the rap as always the one, the only song he's got young.

00:56.935 --> 00:57.876
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back, salty.

00:59.653 --> 01:00.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for having me, Keela.

01:00.755 --> 01:04.560
[SPEAKER_01]: As always, it's a pleasure to shop it up and talk all things WWE.

01:05.180 --> 01:07.584
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited about the conversation we're going to have.

01:08.545 --> 01:15.635
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, still still feeling pretty good after the evolution high to end the weekend.

01:16.338 --> 01:28.126
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so long that evolution high as well, a very good show to wrap up a very busy weekend that went on for hours and hours and hours on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

01:28.646 --> 01:40.194
[SPEAKER_02]: But as we take time now to reassess the weekend that was for WWE and by extension A, W, as well, what was some lessons we learned Scott from this weekend?

01:45.715 --> 02:00.209
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you chose the wrong word, lessons being that word because lessons implies that you're going to do something different or that you're going to learn from to do something different.

02:01.530 --> 02:04.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing will be different going forward.

02:04.332 --> 02:06.914
[SPEAKER_01]: So what lessons did they learn?

02:06.954 --> 02:07.695
[SPEAKER_01]: They learn nothing.

02:09.476 --> 02:16.301
[SPEAKER_01]: But what happened, what happened was they just oversaturated their own market.

02:17.402 --> 02:18.603
[SPEAKER_01]: And we had a great

02:21.372 --> 02:34.043
[SPEAKER_01]: falls kind of anywhere match that nobody will ever see nobody will ever talk about between Ricky and Ethan you know we had that great collision match and then you know then the women's evolution

02:35.353 --> 02:51.158
[SPEAKER_01]: As big of a moment as it was, probably should have been in front of ten to fifteen thousand people, which if it's on a different week instead of trying to go head to head with a W and the queen B floating in her car, you might have a different result.

02:51.618 --> 02:56.480
[SPEAKER_01]: But as far as lessons go, I don't think they learned any.

02:58.661 --> 03:01.602
[SPEAKER_02]: When I say lessons, I think that I'm talking about

03:03.114 --> 03:07.397
[SPEAKER_02]: the big takeaway from the weekend, did they learn anything?

03:07.557 --> 03:12.401
[SPEAKER_02]: And what they've learned is that you're burning out your audience, but they don't care.

03:12.861 --> 03:21.727
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't care because as long as fans continue to buy tickets, as long as they continue to watch, they're going to do this.

03:21.988 --> 03:25.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, at some point, ticket cells will

03:27.063 --> 03:37.747
[SPEAKER_02]: plateau, viewership will plateau that enthusiasm that good will they've built over the last few years, that wall plateau.

03:38.468 --> 03:50.813
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can safely say they have learned zero lessons either because they have booked another show directly against forbidden door next month via NX to heat wave at another small building.

03:51.213 --> 04:10.584
[SPEAKER_02]: which is so unserious by WWE once again, because if you're trying to compete on the same level, aesthetically as a W, B balls the enough to book an arena, to do the show head to head, to be cosmetically similar to what you're going up against, but they're not going to do that.

04:10.924 --> 04:18.929
[SPEAKER_02]: They think, well, if we put on this show is gonna siphon viewers and it might, but once again, it's gonna be another weekend where no one

04:19.549 --> 04:23.191
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about an ex-to-heat wave in a meaningful way.

04:23.512 --> 04:32.497
[SPEAKER_02]: There might be a gym on that card for that weekend that will be buried because once again, you're trying to do counter-programming to what end.

04:32.897 --> 04:36.660
[SPEAKER_02]: And what's weird to me is the fact that AW got their money.

04:37.935 --> 04:39.156
[SPEAKER_02]: They got paid.

04:39.896 --> 04:44.580
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to get a bill, a billion dollars for these television rights.

04:45.060 --> 04:46.802
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're not stunting their money.

04:46.882 --> 04:54.848
[SPEAKER_02]: They're getting guaranteed dollars for the next four to five years as you guys are as well through your television deals and streaming deals.

04:55.488 --> 04:59.989
[SPEAKER_02]: They have decided to downgrade their shows in terms of building size.

05:00.449 --> 05:01.909
[SPEAKER_02]: And they've gotten hot again.

05:02.310 --> 05:06.070
[SPEAKER_02]: Their pay per view numbers are basically unaffected by any of this.

05:06.090 --> 05:08.831
[SPEAKER_02]: They might have one of their better bi rates via all in.

05:08.871 --> 05:17.873
[SPEAKER_02]: So what exactly are you doing, except hurting yourselves and you hurting your own gate in some ways and you're taking away viewers from your own shows.

05:18.433 --> 05:24.579
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's going to be a small lesson that's going to be learned over time because it's going to happen in increments.

05:24.639 --> 05:25.840
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not going to happen overnight.

05:26.301 --> 05:31.906
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think that some lessons were learned in that the fans do have a ceiling.

05:32.026 --> 05:34.028
[SPEAKER_02]: They do get burnt out fairly quickly.

05:34.329 --> 05:36.531
[SPEAKER_02]: They will pick and choose what they decide to watch.

05:36.871 --> 05:39.434
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that was definitely the case this past weekend.

05:41.374 --> 05:41.555
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

05:43.198 --> 05:46.706
[SPEAKER_01]: And I will see what going for, but it is what it is for in the war.

05:46.726 --> 05:48.250
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just going to keep going.

05:49.609 --> 05:52.010
[SPEAKER_02]: Award that kind of subsided for her bid.

05:52.050 --> 06:06.636
[SPEAKER_02]: It was kind of dormant for a while and then WWE decides to get the hornets nest by competing directly with a W's most important weekend of the year and a W does respect WWE enough not to run shows against WrestleMania weekend.

06:07.076 --> 06:10.278
[SPEAKER_02]: Now Scott said last week he doesn't think that's going to change any time soon.

06:10.658 --> 06:15.980
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it might because I think it might because at some point

06:17.376 --> 06:18.697
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get territorial.

06:18.717 --> 06:26.722
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get tired of this because AWS to wait until WWE decides their calendar to book a building for their pay per views.

06:27.202 --> 06:44.814
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to come to a point where they're going to kind of go at least head to head with WWE to at least maybe go before WrestleMania weekend, just before or maybe having a vina in the area to compete with the indie shows that WWE might be co-sponsoring along the way.

06:45.654 --> 06:51.538
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's too far out of the imagination to think they won't do it down the road, but we'll see.

06:51.558 --> 06:57.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they might do what's at a low-end issue, but WWE doesn't care about those.

06:57.942 --> 07:12.793
[SPEAKER_01]: And if it does happen, I'm curious to see what the energy in the room is as far as the respect levels, the respect levels,

07:13.433 --> 07:20.735
[SPEAKER_01]: that quote unquote, uh, the the owners given the talent because that was the big thing was that, uh, and it's true.

07:20.855 --> 07:22.496
[SPEAKER_01]: None of his, none of his, none of his allies true.

07:22.816 --> 07:24.816
[SPEAKER_01]: The NXT crew wasn't respected.

07:24.856 --> 07:32.019
[SPEAKER_01]: The women weren't given the respect that is, or an apparently bill thought he didn't get the respect he deserved either, even though he had the longest match of his career.

07:32.939 --> 07:37.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so you know what I'm saying?

07:37.240 --> 07:40.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll just see what the energy in the room is if it does have.

07:41.108 --> 07:43.829
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and before we move on, I do want to air the grievances.

07:43.929 --> 07:45.869
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got laid out for each party.

07:46.069 --> 07:51.150
[SPEAKER_02]: NXT, I would be pissed off because I was set up big time.

07:51.530 --> 07:54.350
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love my city of Atlanta, I do.

07:54.871 --> 07:59.911
[SPEAKER_02]: But to set them up at center stage, compare to a big ass stadium.

08:00.232 --> 08:01.472
[SPEAKER_02]: That was embarrassing.

08:01.972 --> 08:04.412
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a mission that was going to fail.

08:04.432 --> 08:05.853
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel for them.

08:06.393 --> 08:07.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I would be pissed off.

08:08.193 --> 08:09.534
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I talk about the ladies.

08:09.854 --> 08:15.638
[SPEAKER_02]: I would be pissed off too because they said, well, we're going to put you up against Beyonce right across the street.

08:16.018 --> 08:30.387
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're going to be the last show of the weekend when everybody's tired, but they said, bad, they said you will never try us again and they put on possibly the best WWE PLE again and had to play Stumbling to foam that the press conference say, I don't know.

08:31.047 --> 08:32.988
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it might be a demand for it.

08:33.068 --> 08:34.069
[SPEAKER_02]: I have no idea.

08:34.369 --> 08:40.253
[SPEAKER_02]: And then look what you did on Monday and I raw over ninety minutes of women's wrestling being the focus of your show.

08:40.613 --> 08:41.813
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing how that happens.

08:42.254 --> 08:45.296
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the last degree of party, Bill Goldberg.

08:45.936 --> 08:48.738
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I understand why he might be a little bit upset because

08:49.747 --> 08:53.130
[SPEAKER_02]: Your speech was caught off in BC because the timing is to use, I get it.

08:53.550 --> 09:00.955
[SPEAKER_02]: However, sir, however, my sympathy goes so far when you agreed to this.

09:01.096 --> 09:07.400
[SPEAKER_02]: You agreed to have your very last match in Atlanta on a random Saturday night's main event.

09:07.740 --> 09:09.302
[SPEAKER_02]: You said yes to this.

09:09.742 --> 09:12.444
[SPEAKER_02]: Was that the only date that had opened for you to accept?

09:12.644 --> 09:14.025
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, but you know what you did.

09:14.305 --> 09:15.226
[SPEAKER_02]: You took the check.

09:15.506 --> 09:17.628
[SPEAKER_02]: You took the date and you worked the match.

09:18.028 --> 09:21.072
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have very little sympathy for you.

09:21.472 --> 09:23.034
[SPEAKER_02]: You had no bargaining power.

09:23.414 --> 09:28.420
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care what you have to say in a couple of weeks about, oh, they did this and you could have said no.

09:28.720 --> 09:33.225
[SPEAKER_02]: And the truth is you try to milk your retirement match for three years.

09:33.485 --> 09:34.446
[SPEAKER_02]: You try to pitch it.

09:35.227 --> 09:40.849
[SPEAKER_02]: And in Israel, you try to pitch it to A, W, and both things failed.

09:41.309 --> 09:46.151
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you had to go back to W, W, where they were willing to pay you to do a retirement match.

09:46.511 --> 09:50.372
[SPEAKER_02]: And they picked Atlanta and you agree to the date and the time in the place.

09:50.672 --> 09:55.314
[SPEAKER_02]: So I feel very little sympathy for you because you could have said no.

09:58.302 --> 10:00.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't, I don't feel any sympathy for him.

10:01.564 --> 10:04.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, my man got paid a bag for fifteen minutes.

10:05.607 --> 10:06.648
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so.

10:07.549 --> 10:08.169
[SPEAKER_01]: No, man.

10:08.209 --> 10:10.811
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out here working nine ten hour days.

10:10.851 --> 10:13.253
[SPEAKER_01]: My man just got a bag for fifteen minutes now.

10:14.034 --> 10:15.635
[SPEAKER_01]: I got, I got nothing for him.

10:16.175 --> 10:16.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

10:16.876 --> 10:22.580
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it for listen, you better be glad they even came back from the commercial and they gave you that thirty seconds before they went off there.

10:23.817 --> 10:26.980
[SPEAKER_02]: They could have went right into date line in BC Saturday night.

10:27.040 --> 10:27.921
[SPEAKER_02]: They really could have.

10:27.941 --> 10:35.970
[SPEAKER_00]: They could have went right to the next thing and forgot all about you, but they at least let you say thank you and then they cut right off.

10:36.931 --> 10:40.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Like as soon as you said, I want to thank everyone, cut the black.

10:40.494 --> 10:42.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Made and join.

10:42.516 --> 10:44.138
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

10:44.198 --> 10:45.059
[SPEAKER_00]: No, sir.

10:45.579 --> 10:45.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Not you.

10:47.401 --> 10:49.802
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's how I came on my TV.

10:50.022 --> 10:50.722
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it was.

10:50.742 --> 10:51.983
[SPEAKER_00]: That was what it would be seeing.

10:52.003 --> 10:52.943
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's what it looked like.

10:53.823 --> 10:55.124
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Paul's.

10:55.484 --> 10:57.125
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the made in Georgia.

10:57.325 --> 10:58.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, LinkedIn.

10:59.566 --> 11:00.666
[SPEAKER_00]: One hundred percent.

11:00.966 --> 11:03.567
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was perfect because it was go burger like I made it.

11:04.067 --> 11:04.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I know what you write.

11:04.888 --> 11:05.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out the go burger.

11:06.548 --> 11:09.749
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I got no sympathy for that man.

11:10.530 --> 11:13.891
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to cut my speech off and let me get a bag of fifteen minutes.

11:14.451 --> 11:15.272
[SPEAKER_01]: Five by me.

11:15.532 --> 11:16.172
[SPEAKER_01]: No sympathy.

11:17.160 --> 11:18.641
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a hefty bag, too.

11:18.801 --> 11:23.503
[SPEAKER_02]: A hefty bag, a hefty bag for a fifty minutes of work.

11:23.764 --> 11:25.925
[SPEAKER_02]: You got paid overtime, actually.

11:25.965 --> 11:26.365
[SPEAKER_02]: You did.

11:26.385 --> 11:29.527
[SPEAKER_02]: So you got time plus time plus for what you did.

11:29.547 --> 11:31.828
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to cry about it, no, no, no, no, no.

11:32.028 --> 11:33.029
[SPEAKER_02]: You see what's going to happen.

11:33.689 --> 11:34.130
[SPEAKER_02]: is this.

11:34.711 --> 11:48.869
[SPEAKER_02]: So WWE's going to release a documentary, probably via YouTube, the last day of Goberg in WWE, his retirement match, the day of you're going to get a whole documentary of his whole damn day because you know they recorded it.

11:49.369 --> 11:50.449
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they filmed it.

11:50.709 --> 11:52.810
[SPEAKER_02]: It is going to get that little bag off of that, too.

11:53.370 --> 11:55.071
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know what you're crying for.

11:55.091 --> 11:56.351
[SPEAKER_02]: I really don't.

11:56.871 --> 11:58.091
[SPEAKER_02]: You want me to play a violin.

11:58.191 --> 11:58.511
[SPEAKER_02]: I won't.

11:58.572 --> 12:06.594
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, what gets me, you say, all this right now and your son Gabe, who's out there ball in a Colorado right now, will coach Dion.

12:07.034 --> 12:15.116
[SPEAKER_02]: And if his football career does not take off, you know, where he's going, he's going to an NIL deal with the WWE Performance Center.

12:15.436 --> 12:24.647
[SPEAKER_02]: So Bill Goldberg, what you have to say, means very little to me when ultimately Goldberg to go and be out there in about five to seven years.

12:24.868 --> 12:25.529
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's be for real.

12:26.810 --> 12:27.991
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, slow down.

12:29.752 --> 12:30.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

12:31.013 --> 12:32.734
[SPEAKER_01]: We know how this ladder working.

12:32.754 --> 12:34.416
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to start his way at the bottom.

12:35.096 --> 12:35.737
[SPEAKER_01]: LFG.

12:36.697 --> 12:37.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

12:38.218 --> 12:39.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see how that goes.

12:40.420 --> 12:41.361
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets through that.

12:41.401 --> 12:42.742
[SPEAKER_01]: We can talk about evolve.

12:43.422 --> 12:43.823
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

12:44.883 --> 12:49.647
[SPEAKER_01]: If that goes well, he's got total nonstop action waiting to happen.

12:50.107 --> 12:50.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

12:50.408 --> 12:50.788
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

12:50.928 --> 12:53.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we can talk about the NXT stuff.

12:55.272 --> 13:00.251
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see how he handles Michelle McCool giving him under takers tombstone powered driver as his first finisher.

13:02.689 --> 13:09.875
[SPEAKER_02]: I do love how WWE's become real-life career mode from two K, but you start at the very bottom.

13:10.475 --> 13:29.330
[SPEAKER_02]: You start at the very bottom of your career, LFG, then you work your way to to be evolved, then you might squeak by NXT, you might freelance and TNA, you might do some national work with AAA, and then by the grace of God, you were into WWE's portal, and you'll be a part of Rars SmackDown.

13:29.890 --> 13:30.952
[SPEAKER_02]: in about five years.

13:31.273 --> 13:35.019
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to be the new five-year career plan for future WWE talent.

13:35.320 --> 13:38.526
[SPEAKER_02]: You will go through all five feeder programs.

13:42.023 --> 13:43.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's crazy.

13:43.644 --> 13:51.768
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you, they legit got fear programs for feeder programs.

13:52.268 --> 13:58.871
[SPEAKER_01]: And when they got too many people in the feeder programs, they got little pockets they can put these people in.

13:58.891 --> 14:02.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And we, again, we haven't even talked about

14:03.669 --> 14:06.432
[SPEAKER_01]: they could ship him over the way for a little bit.

14:06.993 --> 14:11.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they can say like, hey, G. C. W. We got a couple people here.

14:11.257 --> 14:15.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Blood sports always seems to be taking a couple guys and girls here are there.

14:15.441 --> 14:18.525
[SPEAKER_01]: Nadi seems to be on a resurgence everywhere except WWE.

14:18.565 --> 14:19.586
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

14:21.416 --> 14:25.420
[SPEAKER_01]: any of, yeah, this is one hundred percent my career mode.

14:26.341 --> 14:32.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now, and I'm Jasper, Jasper seems to have skipped evolved and TNA.

14:33.687 --> 14:34.928
[SPEAKER_01]: We're right there next season.

14:34.948 --> 14:35.489
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out to him.

14:36.568 --> 14:42.973
[SPEAKER_02]: He says, hey, do not pass, go, collect your NXT contract.

14:43.614 --> 14:44.234
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

14:44.975 --> 14:50.999
[SPEAKER_02]: There he is, right there already getting championship matches, high profile spots at PLEs.

14:51.480 --> 14:54.562
[SPEAKER_02]: He's one this thing, what a month ago, and look at him.

14:54.642 --> 14:58.485
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at him right now, shine in face and Ricky Saints next week in Houston.

14:59.066 --> 15:01.268
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see how the future goes, but

15:01.908 --> 15:03.629
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, go, Berglis, and I like you.

15:03.669 --> 15:07.251
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I respect you immensely, but you agreed to the date homie.

15:07.451 --> 15:10.593
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what the date was, the time was, where was going to be?

15:10.913 --> 15:16.377
[SPEAKER_02]: Your surprise was probably that A and W ran long because they said fuck y'all, basically.

15:17.017 --> 15:22.981
[SPEAKER_02]: And at the expense of their home fan base by doing a six hour paper view plus to our pre show.

15:23.301 --> 15:27.323
[SPEAKER_02]: They burnt their fans out too, but they had every right to do that because you're trying to play with them.

15:27.383 --> 15:32.906
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what they said, OK, so you want to go ahead to head well, we're not going to go off the air into nine o'clock.

15:33.367 --> 15:33.887
[SPEAKER_02]: What about it?

15:39.833 --> 15:41.774
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a billionaire pissing contest.

15:41.814 --> 15:44.957
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're just in a lot of piss on the floor.

15:45.057 --> 15:48.379
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of peers on the floor and it stinks, you know, my goodness.

15:49.139 --> 15:51.701
[SPEAKER_02]: So less is learned from the weekend.

15:51.921 --> 15:53.362
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to reassess in a year.

15:53.482 --> 15:59.306
[SPEAKER_02]: If any lessons were learned, if WWE tries this again in twenty twenty six, we shall see.

15:59.607 --> 16:01.628
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're going to do it again.

16:01.708 --> 16:02.929
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're going to get their face tight.

16:03.009 --> 16:05.330
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can only imagine where we go from here.

16:06.311 --> 16:17.974
[SPEAKER_02]: But those were the so-called lessons learned from counter programming against a show that was already built to succeed from the moment it was announced a year ago via all in in Texas.

16:18.434 --> 16:27.936
[SPEAKER_02]: But now is time to talk about the fallout from WWE evolution to via Monday night raw going down live and Birmingham Alabama hot crowd.

16:27.976 --> 16:29.377
[SPEAKER_02]: We kicked things off with the new

16:30.742 --> 16:37.284
[SPEAKER_02]: WWE Women's World Champion, Naomi, how we love the one of the best characters in WWE today.

16:37.364 --> 16:38.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Cut our championship promo.

16:39.745 --> 16:48.927
[SPEAKER_02]: Love the character and I love the fact that she has basically neutralized what chance in twenty twenty five.

16:49.667 --> 16:52.168
[SPEAKER_02]: You won't be doing that on her watch and I appreciate that.

16:58.350 --> 16:58.890
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all,

17:00.205 --> 17:05.586
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me come on here and say, you know, it's been a long road.

17:07.727 --> 17:10.268
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we we we we we started as a carry on.

17:12.948 --> 17:18.210
[SPEAKER_01]: We worked our way to being able to be brought out public more than just flights went to a book bag.

17:19.843 --> 17:22.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we've upgraded to a briefcase for a while.

17:23.844 --> 17:28.966
[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, you know, that briefcase cash then and now she's a champion.

17:29.186 --> 17:30.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out to Naomi, man.

17:30.486 --> 17:34.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you can clearly see the seeds are being planted.

17:34.927 --> 17:39.008
[SPEAKER_01]: They are trying and going to do their best to erase Sasha Banks from history.

17:39.448 --> 17:43.850
[SPEAKER_01]: So it won't be surprised if Naomi and Bianca main events night one of us.

17:46.459 --> 17:48.480
[SPEAKER_02]: They might very well try to do that.

17:49.340 --> 17:51.641
[SPEAKER_02]: It's impossible to erase that kind of history.

17:51.661 --> 17:59.103
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to kind of, when you have to kind of rewrite it in maybe three to four years when you pay her the ultimate bag to get her back.

17:59.163 --> 18:05.926
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you say, OK, now that was the true first all black women, main event of WrestleMania.

18:06.006 --> 18:07.726
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's re-ech that and stone.

18:08.166 --> 18:10.287
[SPEAKER_02]: But until then, I'm proud of Naomi too.

18:10.647 --> 18:16.109
[SPEAKER_02]: And we've come a long way, Scott, because you used to drag my girl on a consistent basis.

18:16.569 --> 18:24.652
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'd have my whole cape on defending her, but now, like with Liv Morgan, in the last year or so, you have seen the light.

18:24.972 --> 18:25.652
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm proud of you.

18:27.513 --> 18:34.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I've come around on every aspect of her, um, the character of the in-ring.

18:35.035 --> 18:36.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fully on board with her.

18:37.056 --> 18:39.537
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, come somewhere slim.

18:40.630 --> 18:50.042
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to see if she's ready to have that title of the top dog because when Bianca was in the ring with E.O.

18:50.102 --> 18:53.606
[SPEAKER_01]: and Rhea, they put on all time classic that we match.

18:55.863 --> 18:59.025
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a bit of pressure, I think, on Naomi for this match.

18:59.245 --> 19:02.867
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's not forget, she interrupted in all time great.

19:03.647 --> 19:04.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Classic match.

19:04.327 --> 19:05.368
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that wasn't all time.

19:05.408 --> 19:09.670
[SPEAKER_01]: That was heading towards an all-time great one-on-one classic match.

19:09.710 --> 19:10.971
[SPEAKER_01]: And ended up being in all time.

19:11.351 --> 19:15.113
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it still ended up being in all time great moment in a great match.

19:15.173 --> 19:21.696
[SPEAKER_01]: But we were in for arguably one of the best women's matches, if not the best women's match ever, and WWE, I think.

19:22.400 --> 19:24.461
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was a sending to that level.

19:25.161 --> 19:36.504
[SPEAKER_02]: And it will be absolutely amazing if Naomi and Rhea and EO have a chip threat that is on the same level of WrestleMania with Bianca Belair at the time.

19:36.864 --> 19:41.586
[SPEAKER_02]: And what's cool about this is Naomi's never worked with Rhea like that extensively or EO sky.

19:41.606 --> 19:44.727
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's a fresh opponent, a fresh matchup and we'll see.

19:45.187 --> 20:07.201
[SPEAKER_02]: with a deliver at summer slam now there's been a lot of debate about what can mean event night one of this event you have this match potentially another match we're talking about down the road and of course a certain return of the OTC one so right now Scott if you had to pick what would be the main event of night one of summer slam at met life stadium what would your choice be

20:08.395 --> 20:11.180
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the set injury makes it a lot easier for everyone.

20:11.200 --> 20:16.811
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Roman and Seth probably would have, but now, I think it's going to be this triple threat.

20:16.911 --> 20:19.617
[SPEAKER_01]: I, one hundred percent, thanks this closes night one.

20:20.407 --> 20:21.208
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.

20:21.388 --> 20:26.733
[SPEAKER_02]: There is a dark horse candidate that we'll get to in just a bit, but I love the opening segment.

20:26.933 --> 20:30.637
[SPEAKER_02]: Hot crowd is always Naomi is hysterical as a character.

20:31.037 --> 20:35.561
[SPEAKER_02]: Like only on WWE television by her, we hear somebody call somebody, Raggedy Huffles.

20:36.101 --> 20:37.843
[SPEAKER_02]: I appreciate that until the end.

20:38.844 --> 20:42.067
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that brought a smile to my response.

20:42.307 --> 20:45.230
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, she's one of the few people can get away with a few things.

20:45.550 --> 20:53.634
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she got away with one thing towards EO that I was like, I don't know if she got away with it, but she said it.

20:53.654 --> 20:54.535
[SPEAKER_01]: She said it.

20:54.555 --> 21:02.739
[SPEAKER_02]: She didn't get killed for her, but I saw the criticism of saying to telling EO, I don't know what you just said.

21:02.759 --> 21:08.762
[SPEAKER_02]: And we know Carlito got a lot of shit for doing something similar over a year ago.

21:09.522 --> 21:12.884
[SPEAKER_02]: But then Naomi acknowledged you by playing a rush hour clip.

21:12.924 --> 21:18.987
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was like, well, we are just about to say all these young people just they never had never seen rush hour.

21:19.128 --> 21:23.430
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's a shame on them because they've missed out on two classics and a solid third.

21:23.950 --> 21:25.871
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, a solid third.

21:26.072 --> 21:27.692
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's solid.

21:27.772 --> 21:31.595
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a man.

21:32.115 --> 21:34.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

21:35.017 --> 21:36.738
[SPEAKER_02]: It's slightly better than the second one.

21:37.997 --> 21:38.297
[SPEAKER_02]: What?

21:38.658 --> 21:38.938
[SPEAKER_02]: No.

21:39.398 --> 21:42.581
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, uh, I do not like the sequel as much.

21:42.942 --> 21:44.343
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not like the sequel as much.

21:44.724 --> 21:45.524
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, oh, man.

21:45.544 --> 21:46.205
[SPEAKER_02]: Secret.

21:46.405 --> 21:46.986
[SPEAKER_02]: Secret.

21:47.246 --> 21:55.474
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, the best part of the sequel was the inspiration it gave to Pastor Cabrera C. A. Mine is redacted in the video.

21:58.617 --> 21:59.558
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Harlem Knights.

22:00.565 --> 22:03.387
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all we all got to talk about redacted.

22:03.827 --> 22:06.969
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, listen, Paco Vasi is a classic banner.

22:07.189 --> 22:08.150
[SPEAKER_02]: It is classic.

22:08.190 --> 22:11.191
[SPEAKER_02]: If you play right now, I'm dancing, but you got to take a redacted out of it.

22:13.933 --> 22:15.454
[SPEAKER_02]: He cannot be on that song.

22:15.474 --> 22:15.994
[SPEAKER_02]: So no sir.

22:18.269 --> 22:20.470
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, that's fair, fair enough.

22:21.010 --> 22:29.074
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so like she pulled up the clip like that's what I was talking about guys, but you got to educate the children in twenty twenty five because they're sensitive.

22:29.574 --> 22:31.675
[SPEAKER_02]: They do take, they take things very seriously.

22:31.715 --> 22:33.176
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes when I get it, don't give me wrong.

22:33.276 --> 22:34.356
[SPEAKER_02]: I do understand it.

22:34.917 --> 22:37.038
[SPEAKER_02]: But wash out was a classic all now.

22:37.078 --> 22:41.660
[SPEAKER_02]: They do have it like a disclaimer before they hear the movie now saying at the time, this is made.

22:42.812 --> 22:45.058
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, cultural sensitivities, that is true.

22:45.079 --> 22:47.746
[SPEAKER_02]: They do have a disclaimer for that movie now.

22:49.467 --> 22:58.454
[SPEAKER_01]: You, you, you tell me the apps and the channels that showed at this claim, because I'm not watching that movie on those stations.

22:58.754 --> 23:00.356
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, where are you kidding me?

23:01.377 --> 23:03.438
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of the best lines of the movie.

23:04.019 --> 23:16.789
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, but it is a disclaimer at the very beginning before it even starts to tell you that when this film was made, there were some things that might not be as timely now as it was then.

23:18.761 --> 23:28.695
[SPEAKER_01]: part of the the the best running joke of the whole thing with their beginning they're getting to know each other is that he thinks he doesn't speak any English like that's the whole.

23:28.716 --> 23:30.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

23:30.518 --> 23:30.839
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

23:30.939 --> 23:31.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

23:31.520 --> 23:31.800
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

23:31.820 --> 23:32.040
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

23:34.905 --> 23:37.687
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a pretty big part of their like relationship.

23:37.767 --> 23:38.147
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

23:38.227 --> 23:38.727
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

23:38.747 --> 23:39.008
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

23:39.028 --> 23:40.108
[SPEAKER_00]: They're character building.

23:40.168 --> 23:40.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I. Okay.

23:41.149 --> 23:41.829
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

23:41.949 --> 23:42.510
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have been.

23:43.030 --> 23:43.390
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

23:43.791 --> 23:50.595
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone like posted it on Twitter the other day, and when viral, like, I'll just now see in this, like, it's been there for a few years.

23:50.955 --> 23:51.676
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been there.

23:52.116 --> 23:53.477
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not just rush hours.

23:53.537 --> 23:58.400
[SPEAKER_02]: A few movies, depending on what you're watching, they will have that disclaimer up the tell you at the time.

23:58.420 --> 24:00.501
[SPEAKER_02]: This was made times were different.

24:01.262 --> 24:04.444
[SPEAKER_02]: And we can't do this shit so much now, but that's what we are.

24:06.477 --> 24:06.718
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.

24:09.724 --> 24:26.993
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's move on for Scott gets website about this shocking development as we get to some possible career saving advice that Kevin Nash gave Raquel Rodriguez about how she works in the ring.

24:27.873 --> 24:29.754
[SPEAKER_02]: And she took the criticism to heart.

24:30.475 --> 24:36.118
[SPEAKER_02]: And since he said those words about you have to work a certain way,

24:37.238 --> 24:38.279
[SPEAKER_02]: got to work style.

24:38.800 --> 24:42.304
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't try to do other things other than what you're good at.

24:42.864 --> 24:44.967
[SPEAKER_02]: Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses.

24:45.788 --> 24:53.356
[SPEAKER_02]: Since that time, she's been wrestling with more confidence, been more locked in and doing what you're supposed to do during what peak diesel did.

24:53.756 --> 25:15.543
[SPEAKER_02]: which was played to your strengths as a big heavy horse out there that can look fast and she did so against this match with the kabuku warriors and of course her new tag team partner in one half of the WWE women's tag team champion is Roxanne Perez another solid outing and the team got the w but I am impressed with Raquel taking Nash's advice

25:16.103 --> 25:23.357
[SPEAKER_02]: to work a style that works for her and is paying dividends because she's working in a way that she has a work previously in WWE.

25:27.582 --> 25:31.946
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she sees the opportunity that's been given.

25:33.727 --> 25:42.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, nobody wants an injury, but when there's an injury to a massive star like Liv Morgan, that's a huge hole.

25:42.573 --> 25:50.019
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, regardless of who else is on your roster, like Naomi, we just talked about how great of a run she's been on.

25:50.099 --> 25:50.980
[SPEAKER_01]: She's the champion.

25:52.458 --> 25:55.499
[SPEAKER_01]: Live Morgan is still a massive hole in that roster.

25:55.879 --> 26:06.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Just the way she was able to fill whatever you needed to be done on the card, the storyline she was in right now, being a part of a great on-screen couple.

26:07.544 --> 26:14.729
[SPEAKER_01]: Mark Hill sees an opportunity right now to really take the range of that space that was there.

26:15.330 --> 26:16.571
[SPEAKER_01]: You talked about the in-ring.

26:16.831 --> 26:21.134
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one aspect where she's really being more dominant, being more confident.

26:21.174 --> 26:22.135
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a big part of it.

26:22.435 --> 26:27.839
[SPEAKER_01]: The finish of the tag match at evolution was all about her dominant.

26:27.899 --> 26:32.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Throwing somebody out the ring, holding Soul Ruka up like this and throwing it down.

26:32.803 --> 26:35.485
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you got this match right here, dominant throughout.

26:37.046 --> 26:44.454
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, usually, you know, one of Voldemort's favorite things to do with non-title matches is to have the challengers go over.

26:45.375 --> 26:46.156
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice change of pace.

26:46.176 --> 26:47.277
[SPEAKER_01]: You have the champions went.

26:48.438 --> 26:49.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Little things like that.

26:50.540 --> 26:58.368
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we're not letting Triple Age off the hook, but at least for tonight, letting HBK since he was still in town from evolution book to show.

26:58.829 --> 26:59.710
[SPEAKER_01]: He made a good decision.

27:01.384 --> 27:02.865
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Walker, he should be case.

27:02.885 --> 27:05.828
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me give you the framework of how to do a show because I've done this before.

27:06.388 --> 27:08.870
[SPEAKER_02]: I've done ladies and night at NXT plenty of times.

27:08.930 --> 27:09.911
[SPEAKER_02]: I know what I'm doing here.

27:09.951 --> 27:10.531
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me cook.

27:10.832 --> 27:12.073
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me show you how to do it.

27:12.193 --> 27:17.217
[SPEAKER_02]: And he did like I don't think that Walker, HBK don't be in the lab like cooking things for Paul.

27:17.557 --> 27:22.660
[SPEAKER_02]: He does, he'd be cooking up a little meal sometimes, give him a blueprint, this how you do it.

27:22.680 --> 27:24.040
[SPEAKER_02]: I've done NXT a whole lot.

27:24.300 --> 27:29.503
[SPEAKER_02]: I've had late as night plenty of times, Regley and NXT, NXT two-poor-no, new NXT.

27:29.723 --> 27:30.223
[SPEAKER_02]: I've done it.

27:30.603 --> 27:31.064
[SPEAKER_02]: I run it.

27:31.224 --> 27:32.644
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I like that.

27:32.965 --> 27:44.230
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very happy for Raquel because I've always knew that she had something and there's been flashes of it and then of course she had some medical issues and that's kind of set things back a bit.

27:44.310 --> 27:45.571
[SPEAKER_02]: But I like the fact

27:46.051 --> 27:47.993
[SPEAKER_02]: that the confidence is kicking back in.

27:48.293 --> 27:56.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I dragged her a few times when she under delivered in those matches with live, but let's not take anything for granted now.

27:56.882 --> 28:01.907
[SPEAKER_02]: She is balling when she needs to especially in the absence of live Morgan.

28:01.967 --> 28:03.949
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's key because that's a big test.

28:04.330 --> 28:06.192
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you stand on your own two feet?

28:06.692 --> 28:07.713
[SPEAKER_02]: without live there.

28:07.833 --> 28:11.396
[SPEAKER_02]: And so far, so good in Roxanne Perez is a great hand in the ring.

28:11.797 --> 28:14.599
[SPEAKER_02]: And there are dynamics going to really play off of them down the road.

28:14.679 --> 28:20.945
[SPEAKER_02]: And when live comes back, we know that Raquel is going to have to pick a side when it's all said and done.

28:23.814 --> 28:26.136
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that'll be an interesting decision she has to make.

28:27.317 --> 28:34.842
[SPEAKER_01]: You talk about being able to stand out and her being able to stand out in the ring next to somebody like a rock sand.

28:35.183 --> 28:44.389
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that speaks volumes to not only the improvement, but just her working a style that just fits her more.

28:45.310 --> 28:51.655
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that shows that she's taking the reins of what should be a really good opportunity for her.

28:52.630 --> 28:53.550
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.

28:53.630 --> 28:55.131
[SPEAKER_02]: So really fun match down the road.

28:55.171 --> 28:59.432
[SPEAKER_02]: And as Scott said, the champion is one, which was nice to see on Monday, Night Raw.

28:59.912 --> 29:02.233
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk about a very funny judgment day segment.

29:02.313 --> 29:09.456
[SPEAKER_02]: So Dominic Mysterio has been dodging AJ Styles for the last few weeks, where they doctors excuse for a legit injury that he has.

29:09.496 --> 29:13.777
[SPEAKER_02]: He's recovering from some minor rib injuries, but he's okay for the most part.

29:14.277 --> 29:17.758
[SPEAKER_02]: So he presents this note to Adam Pear scrap daddy.

29:18.199 --> 29:21.540
[SPEAKER_02]: And he tells him, well, when I went out there for this match with my girls,

29:22.772 --> 29:25.475
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt the adrenaline in my soul.

29:25.495 --> 29:30.900
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, bro, know you did not quote Cody's theme song.

29:31.537 --> 29:38.301
[SPEAKER_02]: And he did it such a chill way, like so not so long, like, yeah, I felt the adrenaline in my soul when that happened.

29:38.962 --> 29:43.665
[SPEAKER_02]: And so Adam was like, well, listening for the adrenaline next week, when we do this exam.

29:44.125 --> 29:49.128
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you pass and you're asked to spray, say, AJ Styles at SummerSlam.

29:49.248 --> 29:58.074
[SPEAKER_02]: And as they're leaving the building, as judgment is leaving the building for the evening, we have AJ Styles in the corner.

29:59.113 --> 30:14.026
[SPEAKER_02]: praying for I mean praying that dirty dogs medical exam goes well that he passes his test and that he's clear to compete in a more hilarious moment.

30:14.566 --> 30:19.971
[SPEAKER_02]: Dominic Mysterio looked up and prayed to God and hoped that he would not be cleared.

30:21.752 --> 30:22.833
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing television.

30:23.917 --> 30:30.021
[SPEAKER_02]: AJ Styles for the last few weeks has become one of my favorite memes in wrestling.

30:30.461 --> 30:43.790
[SPEAKER_02]: The praying, the glasses reading the note in the cut randomly stalking Dom and now praying for this man's not downfall for his come up to get better.

30:44.230 --> 30:48.433
[SPEAKER_02]: While dirty dime ironic loose praying lower please don't clear me.

30:48.713 --> 30:49.714
[SPEAKER_02]: That was hilarious.

30:52.779 --> 30:53.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh boy.

30:53.699 --> 30:59.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so, you know, AJ probably grew up on touch by an angel.

31:00.242 --> 31:06.445
[SPEAKER_01]: So, he over your brain, hoping that that black woman comes down.

31:12.028 --> 31:13.549
[SPEAKER_00]: They got some wild episodes.

31:13.990 --> 31:16.452
[SPEAKER_00]: People be changing colors and changes.

31:17.072 --> 31:18.934
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, all kinds of stuff.

31:20.595 --> 31:23.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Try to be trying to be white to be saved and all that.

31:25.099 --> 31:27.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, so AJ's probably praying to her.

31:27.681 --> 31:31.505
[SPEAKER_01]: Dominic, he probably panicked, praying to the seventh heaven.

31:32.165 --> 31:33.667
[SPEAKER_00]: That guy exactly.

31:33.887 --> 31:34.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, shot.

31:34.547 --> 31:36.729
[SPEAKER_01]: You hold different whole different spectrums.

31:37.310 --> 31:40.633
[SPEAKER_01]: So one's definitely going fail and the other one's going to make it.

31:41.694 --> 31:46.919
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, this is for sure going to be a good match.

31:46.959 --> 31:49.662
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully if long as AJ gets an opportunity.

31:50.465 --> 31:55.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, if they give them time, oh, we got a cameo from the kiddo.

31:56.009 --> 31:56.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Love to see it.

31:57.770 --> 31:59.211
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the tribal chief.

31:59.672 --> 32:01.613
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we got Roman in the building.

32:01.773 --> 32:05.536
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, real tribal chief here running the household.

32:06.156 --> 32:12.221
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I just hope that Dirty Dom and AJ have time at SummerSlam.

32:12.541 --> 32:13.321
[SPEAKER_02]: That is my hope.

32:13.822 --> 32:17.985
[SPEAKER_02]: That is my prayer because time has been the biggest issue for me.

32:18.765 --> 32:26.688
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know this got like to not take me seriously sometimes when I say that Dury Dom has a bag.

32:27.588 --> 32:29.309
[SPEAKER_02]: And we need to unleash the bag.

32:29.509 --> 32:34.871
[SPEAKER_02]: I know he hates what I say it, but he has a bag that's being underutilized.

32:35.491 --> 32:44.894
[SPEAKER_02]: And how can he expose the bag when he's out here, selling real binaries, when he's getting short changed on time, when his mages are packed with outside interference.

32:44.914 --> 32:46.295
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully at summer slam,

32:47.235 --> 32:53.537
[SPEAKER_02]: AJ and Dirty Domkin go out there and ball out for a ten to fifty minutes and I'll be very happy about that.

32:55.537 --> 33:04.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, AJ and his Samsonite bag would do a real good job long as Dom and his fanny pack and keep up wherever good match.

33:05.074 --> 33:06.134
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what you tried it.

33:06.354 --> 33:11.176
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see in a couple of weeks, but I just want to get back to seventh heaven.

33:12.096 --> 33:20.798
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the worst produced television shows in history that outlived several lives on the WB end the early days of the CW.

33:20.818 --> 33:22.499
[SPEAKER_02]: Our melanated network now.

33:22.939 --> 33:25.179
[SPEAKER_02]: The best thing about that show was the dog.

33:25.199 --> 33:27.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Where's a piece happy?

33:28.172 --> 33:29.633
[SPEAKER_02]: Just the bill was fine on the show.

33:29.893 --> 33:35.718
[SPEAKER_02]: She's I she's I she's I but wrote a piece happy the dog was the highlight.

33:36.258 --> 33:40.942
[SPEAKER_01]: That was that was back when CW was was called that because it was clearly white.

33:41.663 --> 33:44.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, you know, wow.

33:44.901 --> 33:48.585
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because you know, they got rid of all the black shows that will left pretty quickly.

33:48.605 --> 33:49.826
[SPEAKER_02]: They got rid of girlfriends.

33:50.266 --> 33:51.007
[SPEAKER_02]: They said the game.

33:51.027 --> 33:52.328
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need you anymore.

33:52.508 --> 33:56.452
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was just a time on the early days of the CW.

33:56.472 --> 33:58.634
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was a time indeed.

33:58.974 --> 34:01.937
[SPEAKER_02]: And now the CW has one lone survivor.

34:02.998 --> 34:03.719
[SPEAKER_02]: All American.

34:03.739 --> 34:05.340
[SPEAKER_02]: They said they're last season.

34:05.360 --> 34:06.902
[SPEAKER_00]: All Americans, the worst.

34:08.964 --> 34:09.765
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not.

34:10.980 --> 34:12.241
[SPEAKER_01]: after season three it was.

34:12.261 --> 34:15.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to say decided to start killing all father figures.

34:15.482 --> 34:17.623
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the end of that for me.

34:18.543 --> 34:20.124
[SPEAKER_02]: Gosh, well, it jumped the shark.

34:20.164 --> 34:22.105
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like Riverdale did after season two.

34:22.165 --> 34:24.646
[SPEAKER_02]: Like after that I was like, you know, what is this show?

34:25.526 --> 34:28.668
[SPEAKER_02]: Could had all time around your hand and then that happened.

34:28.748 --> 34:31.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't didn't Riverdale start doing powers and cults and stuff.

34:32.289 --> 34:35.190
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and season three, four and five and six.

34:35.731 --> 34:38.032
[SPEAKER_02]: Then they went back to the fifties for the last season.

34:39.032 --> 34:40.233
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, so there was time travel.

34:40.514 --> 34:42.375
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, time traveling.

34:42.395 --> 34:43.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we got to start.

34:44.037 --> 34:48.040
[SPEAKER_02]: We had classic comic book archie was a time during season seven.

34:48.321 --> 34:49.342
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was loyal.

34:49.442 --> 34:54.206
[SPEAKER_02]: I watched it not until the end because I gave up because you know, I got tired at some point.

34:54.226 --> 34:55.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Like even this was too much for me.

34:55.988 --> 34:56.869
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's all Netflix.

34:56.949 --> 35:03.014
[SPEAKER_02]: I might be bored one day and queue it up and watch the final season out of loyalty and see how it ended.

35:03.134 --> 35:03.595
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah.

35:04.155 --> 35:10.678
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the CW in the early days to now as we get to one of the best matches of the year on WWE television.

35:10.698 --> 35:18.321
[SPEAKER_02]: It was Lara Vakiria versus Bailey in a two out of three follows match for a shot at Becky Lynch's in a kind of championship at SummerSlam.

35:18.701 --> 35:20.502
[SPEAKER_02]: This match was awesome.

35:21.383 --> 35:24.224
[SPEAKER_02]: Bailey and Lyra's chemistry is everything.

35:24.324 --> 35:25.284
[SPEAKER_02]: It was on point.

35:25.444 --> 35:25.925
[SPEAKER_02]: It was

35:27.205 --> 35:31.752
[SPEAKER_02]: absolutely physical and certain spots to crowd will split down the middle.

35:31.832 --> 35:32.733
[SPEAKER_02]: They want it Bailey.

35:32.753 --> 35:33.815
[SPEAKER_02]: They want it Lyra.

35:34.175 --> 35:42.847
[SPEAKER_02]: The action went back and forth and nearfalls were everything after both ladies pretty much got quick pinfalls on each other heading into pinfall number three.

35:43.508 --> 35:58.202
[SPEAKER_02]: The near falls, which you thought was going to happen, did not happen as Lyra got the dub hitting night wing on Bailey, the fans popped and you know, one of the great things about doing this show was Scott for almost four years now is that we've kind of called

35:59.203 --> 36:05.350
[SPEAKER_02]: WWE talent from NXT, who's going to be big deals on the main roster.

36:05.851 --> 36:08.614
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the people we said was Lara Vakiria.

36:08.734 --> 36:12.558
[SPEAKER_02]: Now Scott saw a chat of biscuits at some point in the last six months.

36:13.058 --> 36:14.960
[SPEAKER_02]: I always saw that for Lara.

36:15.541 --> 36:21.582
[SPEAKER_02]: But I said, like, if she gets caught up, the presentation fits the main roster better.

36:22.203 --> 36:27.684
[SPEAKER_02]: She has something that will absolutely help the women's division.

36:28.124 --> 36:34.966
[SPEAKER_02]: And to see where she was and she first got caught up to now, she is one of the core center pieces of that women's division.

36:35.346 --> 36:43.548
[SPEAKER_02]: And she is holding her own against the likes of Becky and Bailey and not filling out a place one bit and the fans are latching on to that.

36:43.928 --> 36:44.788
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love that for her.

36:45.268 --> 36:48.749
[SPEAKER_02]: Great match and Bailey's hotel is imminent.

36:51.630 --> 36:51.890
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.

36:51.930 --> 36:54.611
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we got Bailey being the big show of the women's division.

36:57.492 --> 36:58.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Great match.

36:58.992 --> 37:04.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Lyra is hopefully about to get that title back at summer slam and

37:05.403 --> 37:07.505
[SPEAKER_01]: knocking off Bailey and then Becky on the way.

37:07.525 --> 37:10.147
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a great way to build her back to it.

37:10.207 --> 37:14.991
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they've done a really good job of elevating the IC title.

37:15.972 --> 37:25.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Becky Hogan has done it again, elevating talent, elevating Lyra again while doing it with the title with Bailey involved.

37:25.619 --> 37:27.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this is

37:28.472 --> 37:38.838
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a perfect blend and mix of older, younger, you know, main event, upper mid-card, working their way up town.

37:38.898 --> 37:41.839
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a good blend of everything all around.

37:42.480 --> 37:45.281
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think their match at SummerSlam is going to be great.

37:45.461 --> 37:51.565
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the way the card is kind of shaping up and falling in the place,

37:52.552 --> 37:54.674
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they won't do it and there's no reason to do it.

37:55.495 --> 38:10.972
[SPEAKER_01]: You could have a whole night one of just women's matches just the way everything is shaping up and because let's keep it a buck like you open with Becky Lyra you close with that women's triple threat like that's a that's a great one to punch to start your weekend off with.

38:12.819 --> 38:15.800
[SPEAKER_02]: absolutely, and that was the other door, of course, match.

38:15.860 --> 38:19.622
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that could have made a vented summer slam if they chose to go on that direction.

38:19.642 --> 38:40.810
[SPEAKER_02]: And the car is shaping up nicely way better than WrestleMania night one and two, respectively, like is looking a lot better, probably minus a certain ego maniac, not there if I could get up, but it just feels like it's more of a fall effect production, minus some certain people there, Travis Scott, you know, Dwayne, you know, certain things that would have like,

38:41.490 --> 38:43.812
[SPEAKER_02]: demolish this card from top to bottom.

38:43.852 --> 38:50.157
[SPEAKER_02]: So I see that Triple A is trying to get back in the lead here for Booker of the Year against Anthony Khan.

38:50.878 --> 38:54.420
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you you kind of drop the ball the last three or four months.

38:55.261 --> 38:57.503
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you drop the ball a little bit.

38:57.563 --> 39:06.170
[SPEAKER_02]: And now you try to get in the playoffs a little bit trying to get in there trying to get that A seed trying to make a comeback trying to make it a race because.

39:06.670 --> 39:11.214
[SPEAKER_02]: At one point, he was running with it, and all of a sudden, like you lost it, you lost the lead.

39:11.554 --> 39:13.295
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's trying to redeem himself via this show.

39:13.375 --> 39:14.836
[SPEAKER_02]: But this match was great.

39:14.857 --> 39:18.299
[SPEAKER_02]: It was going to be a summer slam with Lyra and Becky's going to be great too.

39:18.659 --> 39:22.843
[SPEAKER_02]: And shout out to Becky Lynch, because she said, well, you know what I'm going to do?

39:22.883 --> 39:29.488
[SPEAKER_02]: So you'll call me Becky, hold it all the time, with your signs and your chance and your shade on social media.

39:30.008 --> 39:31.510
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going where his colors.

39:32.350 --> 39:33.111
[SPEAKER_02]: What about it?

39:33.771 --> 39:35.032
[SPEAKER_02]: Take that name.

39:36.133 --> 39:39.375
[SPEAKER_02]: own it and then tell people to elf off at the same time.

39:39.495 --> 39:40.456
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that for Becky.

39:40.936 --> 39:47.600
[SPEAKER_02]: Becky has once again proven that when she's on the scene, she elevates everyone around her.

39:48.000 --> 39:49.301
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been saying this.

39:49.681 --> 39:51.142
[SPEAKER_02]: The receipts don't lie.

39:51.502 --> 39:53.203
[SPEAKER_02]: So stop being in denial about it.

39:56.645 --> 39:59.787
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Becky wore the outfit and then told everyone to take that for data.

40:03.936 --> 40:05.776
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, now what?

40:07.017 --> 40:09.798
[SPEAKER_02]: Now what you got to say next week, I'm gonna come out there with some further boys.

40:10.598 --> 40:12.839
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe a bandana if you really want to try me.

40:14.219 --> 40:16.060
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't ever come out in the black and white colors.

40:16.540 --> 40:17.961
[SPEAKER_02]: Hollywood Becky Hogan.

40:19.061 --> 40:20.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they're really hate her for that.

40:21.382 --> 40:21.662
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean.

40:24.903 --> 40:31.407
[SPEAKER_02]: And then to cap off our all women's ninety minutes edition of Monday Night Raw, we had Nicky Bella versus Chelsea Green.

40:31.928 --> 40:33.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Now the match is going well.

40:33.809 --> 40:37.831
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the end happened because Nicky admitted that she thought this was two thousand fifteen.

40:38.472 --> 40:41.814
[SPEAKER_02]: And she was going for original finisher, the one that heard her neck.

40:42.234 --> 40:43.055
[SPEAKER_02]: Many moons ago.

40:43.715 --> 40:44.995
[SPEAKER_02]: And just, oh, I forgot.

40:45.075 --> 40:51.698
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you saw the struggle bus to get her up to hit Chelsea for a finisher, the Racketack, two porno for the victory.

40:52.078 --> 41:00.600
[SPEAKER_02]: But the more notable development was the fact the Stephanie Vicarre came out there to make the save for Nikki Bella when the secret harvest came out there to attack Nikki Postamatch.

41:01.081 --> 41:11.544
[SPEAKER_02]: Now Scott, do you foresee a tag team of Stephanie Vicarre and Nikki Bella versus Chelsea Green and Company heading into Summer slam?

41:17.466 --> 41:25.989
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess you could have Stephanie and the Bella twins versus the cabinet.

41:26.009 --> 41:29.611
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess you could do that.

41:29.631 --> 41:30.391
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.

41:32.172 --> 41:34.013
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're going to have to tap and breathe.

41:35.086 --> 41:36.828
[SPEAKER_02]: And she says she has not been called.

41:36.948 --> 41:39.009
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not believe that for five seconds.

41:39.510 --> 41:42.732
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I know there's a side to destroy your husband about the.

41:42.752 --> 41:45.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I believe it.

41:45.294 --> 41:46.215
[SPEAKER_00]: They saw those.

41:46.295 --> 41:48.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, she says it will.

41:48.457 --> 41:49.898
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we are.

41:50.259 --> 41:51.620
[SPEAKER_02]: We are restricting our offer.

41:52.932 --> 41:54.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't be worried about calling Brie.

41:54.373 --> 41:55.334
[SPEAKER_01]: We go and making.

41:55.714 --> 41:56.274
[SPEAKER_02]: We go.

41:56.654 --> 41:57.915
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll just do a tag match.

41:58.656 --> 42:02.558
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and we just have some air rings side cheerleading for the harvest out there.

42:03.039 --> 42:04.439
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so they were sent.

42:04.459 --> 42:05.440
[SPEAKER_01]: She was she was on team Brie team.

42:05.460 --> 42:05.740
[SPEAKER_01]: We're good.

42:05.760 --> 42:06.141
[SPEAKER_01]: We're good.

42:06.161 --> 42:06.421
[SPEAKER_01]: We're good.

42:06.461 --> 42:07.601
[SPEAKER_01]: We're good on that.

42:07.621 --> 42:08.062
[SPEAKER_02]: We're, we're good.

42:08.082 --> 42:08.582
[SPEAKER_01]: We're, we're, we're good.

42:08.602 --> 42:09.062
[SPEAKER_01]: We're, we're, we're good.

42:09.082 --> 42:09.583
[SPEAKER_01]: We're, we're, we're good.

42:09.603 --> 42:17.608
[SPEAKER_02]: We're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're,

42:21.612 --> 42:22.572
[SPEAKER_02]: Choices were made.

42:22.592 --> 42:23.973
[SPEAKER_02]: Choices were made that I was like, okay.

42:23.993 --> 42:24.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Choices were made.

42:24.633 --> 42:25.413
[SPEAKER_02]: Choices were made.

42:25.953 --> 42:27.893
[SPEAKER_02]: Choices were made that I was like, okay.

42:27.933 --> 42:30.974
[SPEAKER_02]: But listen, I didn't know.

42:31.214 --> 42:31.954
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

42:31.994 --> 42:32.755
[SPEAKER_02]: Choices were made.

42:32.795 --> 42:33.675
[SPEAKER_02]: She wasn't an evolution.

42:33.695 --> 42:34.975
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you didn't want to wave in a crowd.

42:34.995 --> 42:35.715
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand it.

42:36.275 --> 42:37.556
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't want to do that, I get it.

42:37.696 --> 42:38.836
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.

42:39.216 --> 42:43.037
[SPEAKER_02]: It might have been it that might have been it because some did decline if you want to just sit there and wave.

42:43.597 --> 42:45.558
[SPEAKER_02]: And they said, no, that's okay.

42:46.418 --> 42:46.838
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

42:46.998 --> 42:48.598
[SPEAKER_02]: But there was other things that Alicia did that.

42:48.618 --> 42:49.018
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

42:49.759 --> 42:50.019
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

42:51.591 --> 42:51.891
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.

42:52.251 --> 42:55.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Is she, is she, is she, is she, does she need a Voldemort name?

42:55.253 --> 43:04.198
[SPEAKER_02]: No, she keep her name, but she just makes some, some choices choices that I do not approve of, but you do, you do, you do, you Alicia.

43:07.380 --> 43:17.286
[SPEAKER_02]: And then let's get to our main event of Monday, Night Raw, which was a gauntlet match involving Brownbreaker, Penta,

43:17.946 --> 43:20.307
[SPEAKER_02]: L-A-N-I-J-U-S-O-N-C-A-Punk.

43:20.347 --> 43:25.330
[SPEAKER_02]: The winner will face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.

43:25.690 --> 43:39.377
[SPEAKER_02]: So this was a lovely showcase for Braun Breaker, who went out there and he just put on a clinic with thirty plus minutes because as we talked about last week, in the event the Seth Rollins is going to be out for some time.

43:39.817 --> 43:49.128
[SPEAKER_02]: Your best bet is to push brawn breaker to that next level as a guy that can go another success story that we predicted for the main roster.

43:49.529 --> 43:52.552
[SPEAKER_02]: It stars got even bigger in the last year or so people love them.

43:52.572 --> 43:54.354
[SPEAKER_02]: They want to chair and even though he's a heal.

43:54.895 --> 44:00.036
[SPEAKER_02]: And he goes out there and he takes out Penta with the spear, LA night with the spear.

44:00.076 --> 44:04.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, soon as this from Brasson Reed, then he takes out Jay Uso for the win as well.

44:04.377 --> 44:05.678
[SPEAKER_02]: And then is down to see a punk.

44:06.138 --> 44:20.421
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Brasson Reed, of course, comes out there to make the assist only for Jay Uso to come out there to even the odds and see a punk, ultimately wins the gauntlet by hitting a GTS on Bron Breaker, who eats a rail loss on Monday, Night Raw.

44:20.941 --> 44:24.482
[SPEAKER_02]: But Scott, before we get to the end of the show, you're thought so this gauntlet match.

44:28.905 --> 44:30.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm probably in the minority.

44:31.167 --> 44:33.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was quite baffling.

44:34.770 --> 44:36.531
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think he made any sense.

44:37.391 --> 44:43.936
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the whole thing was backwards, just completely off.

44:46.018 --> 44:51.102
[SPEAKER_01]: You had Braunbreaker, the heel, this monster heel.

44:53.142 --> 44:54.063
[SPEAKER_01]: run the gauntlet.

44:54.923 --> 45:04.228
[SPEAKER_01]: And every time somebody came out, he looked more and more beat down like a baby face, like a sympathetic baby face.

45:04.248 --> 45:20.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it even got to the point where Jay Uso, the baby face, hit this man with a dive went back in the ring and told the people to play his music again in the middle of the match.

45:23.672 --> 45:27.616
[SPEAKER_01]: It's starting to eat.

45:27.756 --> 45:32.780
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't be the only one that saw this and was like, what is going on?

45:33.801 --> 45:44.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Are we, is, is, is Bronson, we're gonna beat down Bron, Braker, because we're, we're turning a baby face because why would I boo, Bron, Braker, for running through everybody right now?

45:46.113 --> 45:49.336
[SPEAKER_00]: You have LA night, who just beat Seth Rollins.

45:51.239 --> 45:54.081
[SPEAKER_00]: They just loses, just loses.

45:54.722 --> 45:58.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't understand it.

45:59.065 --> 46:12.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you have the quote unquote conquering hero, see him punk, fresh as a daisy coming out after Braunbreaker has been thirty minutes in the ring.

46:16.648 --> 46:22.494
[SPEAKER_01]: This was the most backward booking of a gauntlet match I've ever seen.

46:24.356 --> 46:26.118
[SPEAKER_01]: Why wouldn't you have LA night do that?

46:27.620 --> 46:32.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Why wouldn't you have LA night go on the sabron doesn't need it.

46:32.805 --> 46:35.268
[SPEAKER_01]: People believe bron is like that anyway.

46:36.423 --> 46:39.466
[SPEAKER_01]: If you had LA night, go on that same run.

46:40.267 --> 46:46.313
[SPEAKER_01]: You started with J. Uso first of all because if you're going to do the run it back and then you lose.

46:48.355 --> 46:48.615
[SPEAKER_01]: What?

46:49.376 --> 46:52.419
[SPEAKER_01]: So you, you LA night J. Uso is the first match.

46:52.919 --> 46:53.680
[SPEAKER_01]: LA night wins.

46:54.120 --> 46:55.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we go LA night Penta.

46:56.182 --> 46:57.323
[SPEAKER_01]: LA night beats Penta.

46:57.883 --> 46:59.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Then you go brawn breaker.

47:00.024 --> 47:02.625
[SPEAKER_01]: LA night's already been through two and you can choose either way.

47:02.665 --> 47:05.626
[SPEAKER_01]: You can have brawn, beat him because he's already beat two people.

47:05.686 --> 47:07.207
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's got the addicts used there.

47:07.687 --> 47:10.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Or you can have LA night beat brawn breaker two.

47:10.529 --> 47:12.089
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we continue that feud.

47:12.389 --> 47:14.550
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't pick up three wins in this gauntlet.

47:15.391 --> 47:17.152
[SPEAKER_01]: You've built up a sympathetic baby.

47:17.572 --> 47:19.913
[SPEAKER_01]: This is how co-feminious started people.

47:21.075 --> 47:23.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is how this started.

47:23.456 --> 47:29.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we not forget the gauntlet match that Seth Rollins had where he'd be John Cena, Roman Reigns, backed it back, wrestling over an hour.

47:30.658 --> 47:33.019
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is how this stuff works.

47:33.439 --> 47:39.521
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to win the gauntlet, but to get over a baby face, you have them do what Brahmbreaker did.

47:39.741 --> 47:43.022
[SPEAKER_01]: This was so backwards and made absolutely no sense.

47:43.602 --> 47:46.924
[SPEAKER_01]: If CM Punk were to beat LA night, that's a whole different, like, I,

47:49.368 --> 47:56.092
[SPEAKER_01]: The more I talk about it, the less I like it, and it's so disappointing because the match was really good.

47:56.252 --> 47:58.433
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything about it was really good in ring.

47:58.453 --> 48:01.055
[SPEAKER_01]: It just made no sense.

48:03.430 --> 48:06.051
[SPEAKER_02]: logically speaking, you are absolutely correct.

48:06.792 --> 48:08.012
[SPEAKER_02]: Two things can be true.

48:08.532 --> 48:10.073
[SPEAKER_02]: The work in the match was great.

48:10.873 --> 48:19.617
[SPEAKER_02]: But logically speaking, we had Ron Breaker be the Iron Man for over half an hour surviving opponents.

48:20.077 --> 48:22.238
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, Ron some read helped a couple of times.

48:22.779 --> 48:25.640
[SPEAKER_02]: But he still wrestled for over half an hour.

48:26.260 --> 48:32.323
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was getting over with the people as a heel, even though they want to cheer for him.

48:33.023 --> 48:43.440
[SPEAKER_02]: Conquering doing the spot to get cheered you do your pop up break in stiner and you want to get the pop for that and you hit a spirit mid air and that's what you get your dub.

48:45.469 --> 48:52.336
[SPEAKER_02]: Logically speaking, it was dumb because once again, we're sacrificing Penta, he lost again.

48:52.356 --> 48:55.398
[SPEAKER_02]: That bothers me because we're trying to elevate him.

48:55.418 --> 48:56.940
[SPEAKER_02]: He's eating losses.

48:57.260 --> 49:05.187
[SPEAKER_02]: LA night, as Scott said, he'd just beat Seth Rollins two days ago on Saturday night's main event, and then he loses here.

49:05.848 --> 49:09.370
[SPEAKER_02]: Then we have Ji Uso who just lost the championship to Gunther.

49:09.791 --> 49:14.754
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he loses the encore presentation, Midmasters Crazy.

49:15.415 --> 49:19.818
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he said, run my music back as we go to commercial.

49:20.118 --> 49:21.619
[SPEAKER_02]: That was actually wild.

49:22.319 --> 49:26.282
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, you know what, you know what, he is going in the same boat.

49:27.503 --> 49:32.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Penta and real Ripley Jeff Hardy.

49:34.047 --> 49:56.623
[SPEAKER_01]: all those people who got to do their dance and you know on the way to the rings that is saving the people this man did a run it back play my music let's have a eat off in the middle of a gauntlet for a world title shot at summer's land and then lost and yes you you that is shacked in a fool

49:59.402 --> 50:06.381
[SPEAKER_01]: That is, you are going to know all the thing with age and all them, and pinching all them.

50:07.314 --> 50:10.277
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to call out the aura farming hall of fame.

50:10.877 --> 50:12.779
[SPEAKER_02]: That is where you are right now.

50:13.579 --> 50:16.762
[SPEAKER_02]: And for Shack the Nephola, he took spots one through four.

50:17.163 --> 50:22.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you won every spot there is to win in that poll because that was actually crazy to do that.

50:23.008 --> 50:23.968
[SPEAKER_02]: And then still lose.

50:24.549 --> 50:25.430
[SPEAKER_02]: You still lost.

50:25.910 --> 50:27.992
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you came back out to help.

50:28.172 --> 50:28.793
[SPEAKER_02]: CM Punk.

50:29.433 --> 50:31.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you proceeded to get your ass hooked again.

50:31.876 --> 50:38.742
[SPEAKER_02]: So you've got three ass weapons in the same show in the span of twenty minutes.

50:39.183 --> 50:40.804
[SPEAKER_02]: This actually happened.

50:43.167 --> 50:49.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Now Scott, we also have another nominee for or a farming because on SmackDown.

50:50.415 --> 50:53.137
[SPEAKER_02]: on SmackDown on for right day.

50:53.698 --> 50:56.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Jacob fact you let his cousin.

50:57.201 --> 50:58.582
[SPEAKER_02]: He let his cousin.

50:59.022 --> 51:02.265
[SPEAKER_02]: Big Jim get beat up.

51:02.965 --> 51:03.666
[SPEAKER_02]: Dirlie.

51:04.827 --> 51:12.193
[SPEAKER_02]: Dirlie get his ass beat by solos crew and then after the ass opening you come.

51:13.626 --> 51:20.050
[SPEAKER_01]: He did, he did wait until solo gave him the spike and he was like laugh at him before his music even hit or anything.

51:20.070 --> 51:20.990
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, what?

51:21.771 --> 51:24.733
[SPEAKER_02]: You let your cousin get his ass beaten then.

51:25.053 --> 51:25.593
[SPEAKER_02]: Here I am.

51:25.613 --> 51:27.454
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what?

51:27.654 --> 51:33.037
[SPEAKER_01]: He, while we're talking about it, I know he's, I know he's, he's the OTC.

51:37.394 --> 51:41.699
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I ain't coming down to be so fast.

51:42.560 --> 51:44.282
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I see him punk.

51:44.362 --> 51:45.583
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really care about him.

51:45.643 --> 51:47.645
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Jay, I don't he might super kick me.

51:47.686 --> 51:49.748
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know what, I'ma just come.

51:50.554 --> 51:51.496
[SPEAKER_01]: No, when I get there.

51:52.838 --> 51:55.702
[SPEAKER_02]: And speaking of which so I have to see a punk wins.

51:55.782 --> 52:00.549
[SPEAKER_02]: We have like the beat down by the heels, bond breaker and brought some read a tack punk injury.

52:00.689 --> 52:05.536
[SPEAKER_02]: Usal and Bronson is going for a double tsunami and ask.

52:05.616 --> 52:06.157
[SPEAKER_02]: I alluded to.

52:06.798 --> 52:08.719
[SPEAKER_02]: The OTC one, which is a weird name.

52:08.819 --> 52:13.301
[SPEAKER_02]: OTC one comes out their Roman reigns in Birmingham, Alabama.

52:13.741 --> 52:16.062
[SPEAKER_02]: This place goes ballistic.

52:16.262 --> 52:17.682
[SPEAKER_02]: They lose their shit.

52:18.023 --> 52:19.783
[SPEAKER_02]: You can hardly hear the music.

52:19.823 --> 52:21.164
[SPEAKER_02]: They're so loud for Roman.

52:21.484 --> 52:23.625
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been wanting his return for a while now.

52:23.685 --> 52:25.906
[SPEAKER_02]: They are chanting OTC for weeks.

52:25.966 --> 52:27.166
[SPEAKER_02]: And he doesn't come out there.

52:27.186 --> 52:28.447
[SPEAKER_02]: He's out there last night.

52:28.827 --> 52:30.668
[SPEAKER_02]: And a Scott said, he said, you know what?

52:31.628 --> 52:38.450
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take a mid-tempo brisk walk to the ring because I don't fuck with CM Punk.

52:38.670 --> 52:40.870
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Jay is my cousin, but you know what?

52:41.010 --> 52:42.311
[SPEAKER_02]: It can be any day with him.

52:42.731 --> 52:43.911
[SPEAKER_02]: He can love me one minute.

52:43.931 --> 52:46.592
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Ethan, let me just assess the situation.

52:46.992 --> 52:47.972
[SPEAKER_02]: Then get my shit in.

52:48.012 --> 52:53.513
[SPEAKER_02]: And he went out there and he took out Braun breaker and Braunson Reed.

52:53.933 --> 52:57.214
[SPEAKER_02]: He grabbed Jay's hand, helped him up to his feet.

52:57.574 --> 52:58.494
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't look to CM Punk.

52:58.534 --> 52:59.194
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, whatever.

52:59.635 --> 53:01.175
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the show went off the air.

53:01.935 --> 53:06.096
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good to see Roman Reigns back into WWE long time no see.

53:06.617 --> 53:10.578
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, he's back just in time for some or slam night one or two now.

53:10.638 --> 53:12.378
[SPEAKER_02]: Are we going to get a tag team match?

53:12.698 --> 53:16.119
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to get a one on one match because we kind of know where the money is.

53:16.239 --> 53:18.760
[SPEAKER_02]: It's bond breaker versus Roman Reigns.

53:18.960 --> 53:20.061
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see that match.

53:20.441 --> 53:21.981
[SPEAKER_02]: They might wait for it.

53:22.361 --> 53:27.543
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they might wait to do that match down the road, but depending what Roman would like to do,

53:28.761 --> 53:32.560
[SPEAKER_02]: It would determine ultimately where this match lands on the SummerSlam card.

53:36.667 --> 53:44.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think this is, I think Roman's opening, whatever night that he works, because I think the ladies are closing.

53:46.376 --> 53:54.443
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the OTC one, you know, they heard Cody Rhodes say, QB one, somebody was like, oh, let's put the one at the end, that's it.

53:55.003 --> 53:56.625
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the move right there.

53:56.645 --> 53:59.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is,

54:00.488 --> 54:01.749
[SPEAKER_01]: the crowd went crazy.

54:01.769 --> 54:17.318
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the the brisk walk you talked about that's like when you like way somebody to walk across the street and they act like they're running an act like they're jogging but they're moving at the same pace.

54:17.398 --> 54:19.160
[SPEAKER_01]: They were moving when they were just walking.

54:19.580 --> 54:22.702
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of they take like a quick step and then it's just like that.

54:23.002 --> 54:24.943
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what that walk was he care.

54:26.184 --> 54:27.244
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah,

54:28.405 --> 54:30.407
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like to see them both have a singles match.

54:30.447 --> 54:35.451
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that would be interesting to have broad versus Roman J versus Bronson.

54:36.311 --> 54:40.475
[SPEAKER_01]: But we'll probably end up getting those two together and Roman will get a big win.

54:41.768 --> 54:47.994
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely the battle of the spares who's going to hit the most who's going to hit the more wow to spear in this match.

54:48.014 --> 54:48.514
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

54:48.955 --> 54:52.978
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see when it comes down to it, but good to see Roman back hot way to end the show.

54:53.038 --> 55:00.165
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the better Monday night Rawls of the year and the bravery of WWE to showcase the ladies for a full

55:00.745 --> 55:17.624
[SPEAKER_02]: ninety minutes of the show I was shockingly amazing and pressed and hope it's a trend alert like yes you have a roster full of talented women that can be pushed and utilized on your shows every Monday and Friday do it in XT does it all the time like

55:18.084 --> 55:27.148
[SPEAKER_02]: Walker HBK's done this for years and he will have three or four, even sometimes five women matches in one night.

55:27.628 --> 55:29.849
[SPEAKER_02]: So it can be done Paul LeVec.

55:30.009 --> 55:39.554
[SPEAKER_02]: It is very possible if you just put your ego aside and do it, but I know like that press conference I saw it on Sunday where we were getting ready to do our post show with Gigi.

55:41.054 --> 55:44.035
[SPEAKER_02]: He just felt so salty.

55:44.435 --> 55:51.718
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you now, Scott, like salty, like, yeah, they exceeded expectations and it kind of pisses me off.

55:52.198 --> 55:53.459
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I have to do this again.

55:53.519 --> 55:54.319
[SPEAKER_02]: Like do it.

55:55.299 --> 55:57.140
[SPEAKER_02]: Stop being a pissant and do it.

56:02.218 --> 56:06.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's Billy Gunner where you need them for the piss and company.

56:07.679 --> 56:07.939
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

56:08.299 --> 56:09.299
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it is what it is.

56:09.339 --> 56:13.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, they again, like I told you, HPK's been booking the last two nights.

56:13.860 --> 56:15.440
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can take that for what you want.

56:15.740 --> 56:19.181
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what happens next week when HPK is strictly back in NXT.

56:20.701 --> 56:21.461
[SPEAKER_02]: That is true.

56:21.961 --> 56:23.822
[SPEAKER_02]: As we now segue to NXT.

56:24.522 --> 56:27.122
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, we love Walker HPK here.

56:27.162 --> 56:27.562
[SPEAKER_02]: We do.

56:27.622 --> 56:28.602
[SPEAKER_02]: We show him love.

56:29.243 --> 56:31.263
[SPEAKER_02]: And sometimes we do have to drag him.

56:32.340 --> 56:40.425
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to have to drag him a little bit because there are some decisions being made and he's at the helm of it regarding his show.

56:41.692 --> 56:46.173
[SPEAKER_02]: NXT is having an identity crisis right now.

56:46.793 --> 56:50.774
[SPEAKER_02]: And we've talked about this previously, but now it's more apparent than ever.

56:51.634 --> 57:02.177
[SPEAKER_02]: Because in the beginning of the year, fans were very happy that WWE and TNA formed a working partnership together, collaborating.

57:02.197 --> 57:05.598
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be doing some cross promotional stuff doing pay reviews together.

57:05.618 --> 57:07.878
[SPEAKER_02]: Going to have people on their shows, respectively.

57:08.378 --> 57:11.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice, cross over stuff with both companies.

57:12.619 --> 57:15.661
[SPEAKER_02]: Then we have evolved on to be.

57:15.681 --> 57:26.185
[SPEAKER_02]: There's every Wednesday at eight o'clock right up against A, W, Dynamite, and they're not putting a dent in nothing pouring blank period.

57:26.825 --> 57:28.086
[SPEAKER_02]: Then we have L, F, G.

57:31.055 --> 57:32.635
[SPEAKER_02]: on A&E on Sundays.

57:33.256 --> 57:50.239
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, once upon a time, the A&E block on Sundays used to be A&E's bread and butter, WWE biography, WWE's rivals, greatest moments, a whole lineup of WWE programming every Sunday.

57:50.259 --> 57:53.220
[SPEAKER_02]: And in the beginning, the numbers were pretty good.

57:54.120 --> 57:56.281
[SPEAKER_02]: LFG is a ratings failure.

57:56.961 --> 58:01.743
[SPEAKER_02]: Scott, I swear to God, I checked my guide one night at a curiosity.

58:01.763 --> 58:14.429
[SPEAKER_02]: And in the year, twenty twenty five, I can pretty much guarantee you that a reboot of duck dynasty is pulling better numbers than WWLFG.

58:15.812 --> 58:24.855
[SPEAKER_02]: But because those numbers are flat and evolve is on to be NXT has to show love to all of these shows.

58:25.395 --> 58:34.959
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have to say NXT is losing itself by promoting all this other side shit that people don't have time to watch.

58:39.882 --> 58:43.564
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I'm kind of on the other end of the spectrum.

58:43.784 --> 58:48.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I kind of like the, the spontaneousness of the show.

58:48.487 --> 58:51.529
[SPEAKER_01]: The, you don't know who's going to show up.

58:52.289 --> 59:05.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, I've, I've heard a lot of good things about the, the young lady from evolve the champion who was supposed to wrestle, um, what happened with her matches unfortunate, but I've heard a lot of good things about it.

59:05.116 --> 59:08.798
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was kind of excited to see her, but I, I like,

59:09.463 --> 59:29.052
[SPEAKER_01]: that you get all these different promotions and you get all these different people that you don't normally see that you're not like you say that you're not going to see I'm not going to watch to be for evil if I'm just I'm just not unless it's something really crazy or something that I'm you know I'm probably not going to watch that but.

59:29.912 --> 59:30.793
[SPEAKER_01]: seeing them when I see.

59:30.853 --> 59:31.814
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's pretty cool.

59:31.834 --> 59:32.635
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good spot.

59:32.695 --> 59:39.803
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw and like the stuff with TNA and I thought like they've done a real good job of those with the top two titles.

59:40.203 --> 59:41.685
[SPEAKER_01]: You had the system come out today.

59:43.152 --> 59:47.296
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a lot of crossover and this is not something I want weekly.

59:47.776 --> 59:54.202
[SPEAKER_01]: I think tonight was a lot, but I thought they don't at least to me, then this doesn't feel like something that's happening weekly.

59:54.723 --> 59:56.284
[SPEAKER_01]: So it didn't bother me as much.

59:56.364 --> 01:00:02.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this is a weekly thing where every single match is some type of cross promotional thing.

01:00:02.570 --> 01:00:03.691
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, you got me.

01:00:03.831 --> 01:00:07.615
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll start the yields, but as of right now, I do like

01:00:08.315 --> 01:00:11.318
[SPEAKER_01]: the randomness of the show.

01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:14.142
[SPEAKER_01]: It gives NXT its own identity.

01:00:14.262 --> 01:00:21.670
[SPEAKER_01]: This makes NXT feel like almost like it's not a WWE type show because of how random it is.

01:00:23.491 --> 01:00:26.773
[SPEAKER_02]: You make good points, but this is not a one off.

01:00:26.813 --> 01:00:43.624
[SPEAKER_02]: This has happened a lot over the last month or so, give or take two and granted, I haven't been able to watch an XT because of the land of dream playing at the same time as NXT, but I've read recaps and has been a lot of evolve and a lot of LFG on this show a lot.

01:00:44.324 --> 01:00:47.827
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think my frustration lies in the fact that it's not enough in XT.

01:00:48.367 --> 01:00:58.634
[SPEAKER_02]: And then tonight's matches, we had like DQs back to back times in two matches, Cali Armstrong, who are like a lot, she didn't get to Russell.

01:00:59.515 --> 01:01:25.365
[SPEAKER_02]: because Jordan Grace beat her up and beat Carmen Petrovic up because she's mad at Blake Monroe for jumping her at the end of her match because you stupidly said help me like you did not look at the Blake Monroe tapes when she was Mariah May Jordan she doesn't help people she stabs people in the in the back if you're blonde your debt to her like did you not read the script did you not ask Tony Storm what happened so why you man

01:01:25.945 --> 01:01:28.587
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do you oblivious as to why she decided to turn on you?

01:01:29.007 --> 01:01:30.048
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's besides the point.

01:01:30.208 --> 01:01:35.252
[SPEAKER_02]: But the booking, the layout of how things were done tonight, this kind of threw me off a bit.

01:01:35.612 --> 01:01:39.254
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was overly stuff because you only, you had to do one thing tonight.

01:01:39.815 --> 01:01:42.417
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was to cross promote slam a versery.

01:01:42.877 --> 01:01:44.738
[SPEAKER_02]: That should have been the primary focus.

01:01:45.158 --> 01:01:49.722
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead, you through, you've all been the mix, you're champion got bitched out.

01:01:50.322 --> 01:02:06.484
[SPEAKER_02]: by one of your own from NXT, then we have the L of G kids get pumped out by trick Williams, only for undertaker and these these kids back here, call them, not not West's government a mark on a taker team on a taker.

01:02:06.964 --> 01:02:10.187
[SPEAKER_02]: On a take or send this take or say at that Mark said this.

01:02:10.407 --> 01:02:10.947
[SPEAKER_02]: No, he didn't.

01:02:11.348 --> 01:02:23.538
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's going to go come to Houston next week to confront trick Williams every so the champion by then all of this is happening promoting NXT and Houston with L of G evolve NXT T and it's too much.

01:02:24.258 --> 01:02:25.459
[SPEAKER_02]: It was too cluttered.

01:02:25.819 --> 01:02:37.106
[SPEAKER_02]: They were trying to do too many things at one time when the focus should have been getting buys for your cross promotional event with TNA, because most likely, J.C.

01:02:37.166 --> 01:02:40.188
[SPEAKER_02]: J. is walking out of there with two championships.

01:02:40.848 --> 01:02:42.669
[SPEAKER_02]: That should have been your primary focus.

01:02:45.611 --> 01:02:46.852
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Masha takes it, but

01:02:48.819 --> 01:02:52.781
[SPEAKER_01]: I, yeah, I mean, you know, I did not wrong about any of that.

01:02:53.361 --> 01:02:55.222
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I guess it's not, it doesn't.

01:02:56.263 --> 01:03:03.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I maybe I just haven't really noticed and I don't really consider the LFG thing to be like, I'm, I'm really.

01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:10.841
[SPEAKER_01]: I play about it, but I genuinely think of the WWE as just a big feeder system.

01:03:11.901 --> 01:03:14.742
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just LFG to evolve the TNA to NXT.

01:03:14.762 --> 01:03:18.843
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I see the LFG and the evolved people, it's just like, oh, all right.

01:03:19.263 --> 01:03:23.424
[SPEAKER_01]: So we got those are the people who are probably going to start showing up on NXT next.

01:03:23.984 --> 01:03:24.504
[SPEAKER_01]: So it doesn't.

01:03:24.904 --> 01:03:27.325
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess when you say it, when you break it down like that, it is

01:03:28.748 --> 01:03:30.329
[SPEAKER_01]: We are essentially getting three shows.

01:03:30.409 --> 01:03:32.471
[SPEAKER_01]: I just never think of LFG as it's own show.

01:03:33.112 --> 01:03:37.135
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, I'm wanting for two be to watch old classic Power Rangers.

01:03:37.195 --> 01:03:39.076
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know, and even no wrestling's on there.

01:03:40.017 --> 01:03:42.239
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait a minute, two because the class of Power Rangers now.

01:03:42.359 --> 01:03:46.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Two be got every single season of the Power Rangers.

01:03:46.182 --> 01:03:48.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Me and the boys have been crushing them joints.

01:03:48.684 --> 01:03:49.425
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.

01:03:49.505 --> 01:03:50.266
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me see.

01:03:50.426 --> 01:03:51.567
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all Netflix, isn't it?

01:03:51.947 --> 01:03:52.427
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a shit.

01:03:52.447 --> 01:03:52.988
[SPEAKER_02]: The license.

01:03:53.008 --> 01:03:57.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, they're very like the first three, but that that stops after you get to like,

01:03:58.795 --> 01:03:59.696
[SPEAKER_01]: the Ninja Rangers.

01:04:00.056 --> 01:04:03.098
[SPEAKER_02]: Because Netflix, say, listen, we got the whole catalog here.

01:04:03.158 --> 01:04:06.520
[SPEAKER_02]: Me, like you're going to get the first three, go and license those to you.

01:04:06.560 --> 01:04:09.801
[SPEAKER_02]: But after that, you got to come back on to the mothership, watch the rest of the series.

01:04:10.282 --> 01:04:13.764
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say that the power Rangers.

01:04:15.251 --> 01:04:21.696
[SPEAKER_02]: Whenever you watch it as a replay, it still holds up remarkably great thirty years later.

01:04:22.116 --> 01:04:25.819
[SPEAKER_02]: Now some of the monsters of the day absolutely suck.

01:04:26.379 --> 01:04:34.905
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, the purse monster trash, but the show itself, it does so hold up thirty years later.

01:04:35.005 --> 01:04:35.486
[SPEAKER_02]: I must say.

01:04:37.736 --> 01:04:43.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and now my kids think every time they see a black guy, they should be the black Ranger.

01:04:43.138 --> 01:04:45.878
[SPEAKER_01]: So they've done a great job.

01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:51.380
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, with what they show and their values, they teach.

01:04:52.380 --> 01:04:57.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, when they see Adam, they're going to be like, wow, what are they doing?

01:04:58.382 --> 01:05:00.582
[SPEAKER_01]: They were all like, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:05:00.622 --> 01:05:01.963
[SPEAKER_01]: That holds on.

01:05:02.103 --> 01:05:02.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, wait a minute.

01:05:03.633 --> 01:05:07.596
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is why he says she was a yellow originally hold on that win a minute.

01:05:07.676 --> 01:05:07.956
[SPEAKER_01]: What?

01:05:09.337 --> 01:05:11.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Something's going on and I don't like it.

01:05:11.658 --> 01:05:12.519
[SPEAKER_00]: What is going on?

01:05:15.050 --> 01:05:18.211
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I did one of their favorite power engines.

01:05:18.251 --> 01:05:19.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd just say that he's one of their favorite ones.

01:05:20.592 --> 01:05:21.492
[SPEAKER_02]: And he should.

01:05:21.532 --> 01:05:22.212
[SPEAKER_02]: He's great.

01:05:22.272 --> 01:05:27.234
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a great power Ranger, even though he didn't like being a frog, you know what, he didn't like that.

01:05:27.694 --> 01:05:29.755
[SPEAKER_02]: But I enjoyed Adam as well.

01:05:30.155 --> 01:05:40.378
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I will say that for grown folks out there that really know the lore of power Rangers was Scott alluded to when the new three ranges were installed.

01:05:41.138 --> 01:05:46.760
[SPEAKER_02]: They did that in post production because the other range was quit and they had to do something to get rid of them.

01:05:47.180 --> 01:05:57.123
[SPEAKER_02]: Funny thing ever when Zordon demoted the OG Red Ranger and post production said, well, Tommy's a new leader.

01:05:57.503 --> 01:05:58.083
[SPEAKER_02]: Peace out.

01:06:02.182 --> 01:06:19.341
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that one of the most jarring things is watching that that part of the show and seeing like, you know, the only three actors here, three actors there, you never see them have scenes together, but they're always communicating through the computer and they're like, you hear them try to do the voices and like,

01:06:19.641 --> 01:06:20.802
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, tonight.

01:06:20.842 --> 01:06:22.163
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a Yana here.

01:06:22.183 --> 01:06:24.564
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, whoa, Jason, did you want to puberty again?

01:06:24.584 --> 01:06:25.364
[SPEAKER_01]: What's going on, buddy?

01:06:25.385 --> 01:06:28.106
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause you, it's not the leader I know.

01:06:28.126 --> 01:06:34.090
[SPEAKER_00]: And Zach, don't even get me, Zach's was like, all right, guys, we got to do this.

01:06:34.110 --> 01:06:35.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay, okay.

01:06:35.391 --> 01:06:40.414
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've already switched them over.

01:06:41.094 --> 01:06:42.355
[SPEAKER_01]: They, they really,

01:06:43.977 --> 01:06:48.083
[SPEAKER_01]: But now I know why they went with the real big turtle bags.

01:06:48.403 --> 01:06:50.987
[SPEAKER_01]: The real big white, the real thick turtle bags.

01:06:51.007 --> 01:06:54.433
[SPEAKER_01]: So that way you'd never saw the skin color or none of that stuff.

01:06:57.529 --> 01:07:13.497
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, like the dubbing of the voices, the body doubles, the things they did to just avoid having them in the episodes when they quit and post-production, you just had them just cut to their faces as if they were there when they were not.

01:07:14.037 --> 01:07:16.279
[SPEAKER_02]: It was incredible.

01:07:16.399 --> 01:07:23.343
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the lore of the Power Rangers when you really watch this episode season two when they all quit and then they bring in the new Rangers.

01:07:23.483 --> 01:07:26.245
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's it's just the best worst television.

01:07:26.325 --> 01:07:33.870
[SPEAKER_02]: It really is it really is top tier top tier.

01:07:34.030 --> 01:07:35.652
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want a good laugh

01:07:36.537 --> 01:07:52.329
[SPEAKER_02]: before we really get to the heart of season two, watch that, because the Gymnastics they did to pass that off and then zor it on, just out here, just to mold people in post production and making speeches and stuff is saying, hey, Tommy, you up next, congratulations to you.

01:07:52.669 --> 01:07:53.510
[SPEAKER_02]: You're the leader now.

01:07:54.270 --> 01:07:54.851
[SPEAKER_02]: Congrats.

01:07:58.773 --> 01:08:02.536
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Tommy, Tommy was a guy though, at least they picked the right one.

01:08:02.576 --> 01:08:03.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Tommy was the guy.

01:08:04.445 --> 01:08:07.086
[SPEAKER_02]: He was, you know, he was our dog when he rest.

01:08:07.587 --> 01:08:08.227
[SPEAKER_02]: He was great.

01:08:08.427 --> 01:08:09.548
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a great ranger.

01:08:09.828 --> 01:08:12.870
[SPEAKER_02]: He was he kept getting a check consistently for years.

01:08:13.510 --> 01:08:16.592
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he would come back every season, make cameos and stuff.

01:08:17.032 --> 01:08:19.393
[SPEAKER_02]: Dino Thunder still holds a special place in my heart.

01:08:19.934 --> 01:08:20.414
[SPEAKER_02]: It does.

01:08:21.514 --> 01:08:24.336
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the best seasons ever because of all the inside jokes in the lore.

01:08:24.776 --> 01:08:25.176
[SPEAKER_02]: Loved it.

01:08:25.537 --> 01:08:25.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Loved it.

01:08:26.637 --> 01:08:27.017
[SPEAKER_02]: Loved it.

01:08:27.618 --> 01:08:29.279
[SPEAKER_02]: Some glad your kids are enjoying it.

01:08:29.579 --> 01:08:31.580
[SPEAKER_02]: What a time to be alive, truly.

01:08:34.742 --> 01:08:41.404
[SPEAKER_02]: And with that sidebar, the power range is talking, it's now time to put a bow on this week's wrap right here on the Viking media network.

01:08:41.444 --> 01:08:43.225
[SPEAKER_02]: We love our pop culture segue as we deal.

01:08:43.625 --> 01:08:45.666
[SPEAKER_02]: But before we go, you know what time it is.

01:08:45.686 --> 01:08:51.908
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what we must deal before we bid you all do for this evening or this morning, wherever you're listening to the show.

01:08:52.608 --> 01:08:55.269
[SPEAKER_02]: It is now time for Song T Scott Young.

01:08:56.209 --> 01:09:05.072
[SPEAKER_02]: to really encapsulate the week that was for WWE by selecting his match of the week.

01:09:05.812 --> 01:09:17.036
[SPEAKER_02]: Could he be serious with this picuno's most likely he'll be very unserious, but I'm going to leave the floor to him to decide what we're going to do with our match of the week.

01:09:19.751 --> 01:09:22.816
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually week this week is Cowboys versus Black Queens.

01:09:25.381 --> 01:09:27.825
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, you can't go wrong with either one.

01:09:27.845 --> 01:09:30.169
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this was

01:09:31.824 --> 01:09:52.526
[SPEAKER_01]: regardless of what WWE wanted it to be and regardless of what the the internet tried to make it out to be for me for a lot of other people what it ended up being was just a great weekend of wrestling so Cowboys versus Black Queens is my match the weekend

01:09:53.858 --> 01:10:10.066
[SPEAKER_01]: Naomi standing tall at the end of evolution, like I just, that's an image that'll be there forever after a classic match and then you had Hangman and then his, you know, getting his reign and starting that and ending all in the way it should.

01:10:10.386 --> 01:10:16.969
[SPEAKER_01]: This was just a great weekend of wrestling that literally gave you any and everything you wanted.

01:10:17.069 --> 01:10:18.970
[SPEAKER_01]: So can't ask for much more.

01:10:19.867 --> 01:10:20.728
[SPEAKER_02]: What a great pick.

01:10:20.768 --> 01:10:21.689
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually love that.

01:10:21.709 --> 01:10:23.130
[SPEAKER_02]: I love cowboys.

01:10:23.150 --> 01:10:24.452
[SPEAKER_02]: I love black queens.

01:10:25.093 --> 01:10:26.394
[SPEAKER_02]: Hang them out on page.

01:10:26.414 --> 01:10:31.099
[SPEAKER_02]: One of my favorite dudes ever in a w one of my favorite dudes in wrestling period.

01:10:31.539 --> 01:10:37.546
[SPEAKER_02]: My favorite a w world champion ever and to do two different stories.

01:10:40.068 --> 01:10:44.851
[SPEAKER_02]: in the quest to win that championship twice is pretty incredible.

01:10:45.292 --> 01:10:58.601
[SPEAKER_02]: Like to tell two different stories with two iterations of Hangman, that is great storytelling, that's great pacing, and that really speaks to how great of a performer and wrestler Hangman Adam Page is.

01:10:58.981 --> 01:11:04.325
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets all the chat of biscuits, all the franchises, all the seafood bowls he wants.

01:11:04.785 --> 01:11:05.486
[SPEAKER_02]: He's awesome.

01:11:05.866 --> 01:11:06.827
[SPEAKER_02]: Black quings,

01:11:07.407 --> 01:11:15.030
[SPEAKER_02]: Naomi incredible moment Scott called and he kept saying cash and cash and you want to end this night on historic note.

01:11:15.070 --> 01:11:15.851
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how you do it.

01:11:15.891 --> 01:11:20.213
[SPEAKER_02]: We did not foresee which championship was going to be because we thought it was going to be tippy times.

01:11:20.793 --> 01:11:25.475
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, it was you guys and it was actually perfect to cap off an incredible match.

01:11:26.035 --> 01:11:31.898
[SPEAKER_02]: We got to talk about everything with evolution amazing Mercedes Monet.

01:11:32.918 --> 01:11:46.337
[SPEAKER_02]: like thinking about where she was on Saturday against Tony Storm Athena, who was a part of the first evolution winning her battle warrior or Gotlin mash and now move on to five for a championship on a W television.

01:11:46.897 --> 01:11:47.759
[SPEAKER_02]: Love to see that.

01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:49.860
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we get my role for paywall.

01:11:50.041 --> 01:11:51.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she's off the paywall.

01:11:51.842 --> 01:11:52.743
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank God.

01:11:53.383 --> 01:11:58.347
[SPEAKER_02]: We are free at last off the paywall, facing Tony, probably a forbidden door.

01:11:58.747 --> 01:11:59.668
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank God for that.

01:11:59.748 --> 01:12:05.132
[SPEAKER_02]: Get her on TV on a W television consistently and then let's not forget.

01:12:06.510 --> 01:12:18.623
[SPEAKER_02]: our main cowboy and our main black queen beyond say across street delivering black magic all weekend long Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday.

01:12:18.883 --> 01:12:20.324
[SPEAKER_02]: You got blew out their dance.

01:12:20.364 --> 01:12:21.886
[SPEAKER_02]: You got roomy out this smiling.

01:12:21.906 --> 01:12:23.227
[SPEAKER_02]: You got Jay out there rapping.

01:12:23.948 --> 01:12:26.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, somebody's out there and they're fit.

01:12:26.469 --> 01:12:30.809
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was driving home yesterday and at people in the cardboard fits going downtown.

01:12:30.829 --> 01:12:32.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it was an event.

01:12:32.810 --> 01:12:34.170
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a black Renaissance.

01:12:34.310 --> 01:12:36.250
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a cowboy when a song's for everybody.

01:12:36.950 --> 01:12:38.651
[SPEAKER_02]: And I loved it now.

01:12:39.071 --> 01:12:41.591
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a busy, crazy weekend.

01:12:42.051 --> 01:12:45.532
[SPEAKER_02]: But ultimately, I think that we all won at the end of the day.

01:12:45.552 --> 01:12:49.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

01:12:49.373 --> 01:12:49.453
[SPEAKER_01]: If

01:12:50.733 --> 01:13:06.485
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if you didn't find something from every show to enjoy then that's one you because there was a little bit of something for everybody The only thing my kids probably won't get the watch this weekend is the death match because I don't need them trying to do anything to take so I'm matched to each other so

01:13:08.009 --> 01:13:14.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, that's like I need is for one of my kids to be hanging out over side of the character something tapping out like that.

01:13:14.356 --> 01:13:14.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I got him.

01:13:15.037 --> 01:13:15.517
[SPEAKER_00]: I got him.

01:13:16.218 --> 01:13:16.658
[SPEAKER_00]: I got him.

01:13:16.678 --> 01:13:17.599
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

01:13:17.639 --> 01:13:19.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but now all serious.

01:13:19.121 --> 01:13:25.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Great weekend and, uh, you know, WWE started to pick it up.

01:13:26.468 --> 01:13:26.989
[SPEAKER_01]: See what you got.

01:13:27.009 --> 01:13:28.811
[SPEAKER_01]: You got some coming up and you got the fall.

01:13:28.851 --> 01:13:30.112
[SPEAKER_01]: That's usually a good time for you.

01:13:30.132 --> 01:13:31.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what you got coming.

01:13:31.553 --> 01:13:34.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, the race for promotion of the year.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's out.

01:13:34.294 --> 01:13:34.735

[SPEAKER_02]: Come back kid of the year.

01:13:55.824 --> 01:13:59.485
[SPEAKER_02]: I called it at the top of the year with Bob bombshell shout out the salmon mill.

01:13:59.845 --> 01:14:01.525
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, this is going to be that come back here.

01:14:01.986 --> 01:14:03.626
[SPEAKER_02]: Tony Cowes will get book out of here.

01:14:03.666 --> 01:14:04.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna get my book back.

01:14:05.147 --> 01:14:06.227
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna get my book back.

01:14:06.767 --> 01:14:14.990
[SPEAKER_02]: So, WWE has you somewhere and fall to respond to do a nice second place campaign push because that's where we are right now.

01:14:15.270 --> 01:14:16.671
[SPEAKER_02]: You weren't going to be in third place.

01:14:16.871 --> 01:14:19.072
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to be a nice second place campaigner.

01:14:19.492 --> 01:14:23.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I was going to ask, who would you go put a second place?

01:14:23.794 --> 01:14:25.895
[SPEAKER_02]: You'd be surprised how they vote.

01:14:26.395 --> 01:14:27.996
[SPEAKER_02]: You might have put new Japan up there.

01:14:28.356 --> 01:14:36.280
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, HMK by the way, hey, you know what, young, I just started doing an XC seven for W. I don't think it'll be putting me in the same book as Triple L.

01:14:37.363 --> 01:14:38.363
[SPEAKER_01]: put my name separate.

01:14:38.864 --> 01:14:39.164
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

01:14:39.504 --> 01:14:40.244
[SPEAKER_01]: But it exists.

01:14:40.444 --> 01:14:41.705
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'll be second place.

01:14:42.065 --> 01:14:42.325
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

01:14:42.425 --> 01:14:44.086
[SPEAKER_02]: And he does get votes who book over the year.

01:14:44.106 --> 01:14:45.326
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he does get separate votes.

01:14:45.426 --> 01:14:48.367
[SPEAKER_02]: But the show itself is so tied to WWE.

01:14:48.407 --> 01:14:52.789
[SPEAKER_02]: But like I said, y'all going to be a nice second place promotion of the year.

01:14:53.229 --> 01:14:54.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations to you.

01:14:54.910 --> 01:14:56.291
[SPEAKER_02]: You fumbled WrestleMania.

01:14:56.351 --> 01:14:57.711
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's where it all turned.

01:14:57.751 --> 01:14:58.572
[SPEAKER_02]: WrestleMania.

01:14:58.992 --> 01:15:00.092
[SPEAKER_02]: We fumbled the bag.

01:15:00.152 --> 01:15:01.793
[SPEAKER_02]: And after that, a WC bit.

01:15:01.973 --> 01:15:03.474
[SPEAKER_02]: And we are where we are right now.

01:15:03.554 --> 01:15:06.335
[SPEAKER_02]: And it is a very fair assessment to make.

01:15:07.075 --> 01:15:11.018
[SPEAKER_02]: But that is a wrap officially for all things WWE this week.

01:15:11.038 --> 01:15:12.519
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to fake my coke captain.

01:15:12.919 --> 01:15:19.984
[SPEAKER_02]: Saw to Scott Young for joining me to recap in very busy weekend and WWE as well as Monday Night Raw and NXT.

01:15:21.325 --> 01:15:22.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for having me as always.

01:15:22.506 --> 01:15:26.128
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a pleasure to shop it up and talk all things WWE.

01:15:27.129 --> 01:15:36.115
[SPEAKER_01]: I look forward to the week that we have coming up and, you know, John C and then Cody Rhodes under the same roof can't wait to see him say nothing.

01:15:38.203 --> 01:16:02.558
[SPEAKER_02]: covering ground that means absolutely nothing like they have a championship match in two weeks and nobody cares like it is literally the least discussed thing heading at a semislam George Costanza would be very proud he would be thrilled he was like we're having a match about absolutely nothing a show about nothing

01:16:03.037 --> 01:16:06.621
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they are the main event presumably of night two.

01:16:07.081 --> 01:16:11.425
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like it's just a match on the car because we been there.

01:16:11.445 --> 01:16:14.508
[SPEAKER_02]: It done that in a very bad match of WrestleMania.

01:16:14.668 --> 01:16:15.749
[SPEAKER_02]: It was very, very bad.

01:16:16.390 --> 01:16:18.912
[SPEAKER_02]: And they have to redeem themselves from this match.

01:16:19.513 --> 01:16:20.694
[SPEAKER_02]: They have to redeem themselves.

01:16:20.754 --> 01:16:21.355
[SPEAKER_02]: Can they do it?

01:16:21.435 --> 01:16:22.055
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not know.

01:16:22.616 --> 01:16:25.738
[SPEAKER_02]: But what better happen is Cody but a win.

01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:29.261
[SPEAKER_02]: But a win because we can't do John too much longer with this.

01:16:29.701 --> 01:16:35.066
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to start the turn back as we head towards his final show and boss.

01:16:35.106 --> 01:16:42.392
[SPEAKER_02]: And another word on the street is the final opponent is going to be Gunther.

01:16:44.324 --> 01:16:45.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that makes sense because he wanted a title.

01:16:45.826 --> 01:16:49.793
[SPEAKER_01]: So that makes sense.

01:16:50.915 --> 01:16:54.981
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, I could see going to losing the title and one, okay, that's fine.

01:16:55.041 --> 01:16:55.783
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a fine.

01:16:55.803 --> 01:16:58.367
[SPEAKER_01]: A point I should have missed, WrestleMania, a point that's one of the things.

01:16:58.957 --> 01:16:59.837
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, indeed.

01:16:59.917 --> 01:17:01.798
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll come back next week.

01:17:01.938 --> 01:17:09.641
[SPEAKER_02]: We're talking about two guys talking about absolutely nothing adding into their absolutely nothing of a championship match at summer.

01:17:09.661 --> 01:17:12.742
[SPEAKER_02]: So I am and we recap it here for your listing pleasures.

01:17:12.782 --> 01:17:14.063
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you enjoyed the show guys.

01:17:14.603 --> 01:17:24.838
[SPEAKER_02]: As always, we appreciate all feedback in the comment sections on YouTube when the clip pops up for one of our shows and your support via all that we do here on this platform and beyond.

01:17:25.219 --> 01:17:30.527
[SPEAKER_02]: So until next week, that's the week so far in WWE will be back next Wednesday to recap.

01:17:30.887 --> 01:17:45.334
[SPEAKER_02]: Smack down on USA Monday night raw and NXT going down live and use some Texas as we're going to be about a week away until summer slam, um, night's one and two from that life stadium in New York, New Jersey.

01:17:45.694 --> 01:17:50.416
[SPEAKER_02]: So for myself and for Saucie Scott Young, that is a wrap for all things that we to be.

01:17:50.436 --> 01:17:53.078
[SPEAKER_02]: We take care and bye bye.
