00:10.179 --> 00:11.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, everyone.

00:11.940 --> 00:26.691
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to your second live show in under two hours right here on the Fiky Media Network, YouTube channel as we recap, WrestlePolusa, the first ever WWE, PLI on the enhanced ESPN app.

00:27.151 --> 00:29.753
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Keela Cash, and by my side as always is not.

00:30.293 --> 00:31.454
[SPEAKER_00]: salty sky young.

00:31.654 --> 00:38.761
[SPEAKER_00]: It is an honorary member of the rap family, a true blue member of the fight game media family as well.

00:38.841 --> 00:42.584
[SPEAKER_00]: He has sat through a lot of wrestling today, heading into this evening.

00:42.624 --> 00:46.888
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's here up and ready to go for your listening and viewing pleasure.

00:46.968 --> 00:48.029
[SPEAKER_00]: I bring to you, too.

00:48.309 --> 00:50.651
[SPEAKER_00]: The WWE post-game live to recap.

00:51.191 --> 00:51.272
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE,

00:58.205 --> 00:59.086
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello, Kila.

00:59.206 --> 00:59.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:00.567 --> 01:04.871
[SPEAKER_01]: I even watched the CMLL show from last night when I first woke up.

01:04.991 --> 01:14.881
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, more than you think I've watched today, you've been wired on wrestling for possibly 12 hours, potentially, uh, no, a lot longer than that.

01:15.021 --> 01:16.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I think I woke up at seven.

01:16.903 --> 01:18.504
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's that's 15 hours ago.

01:20.266 --> 01:20.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:21.560 --> 01:22.161
[SPEAKER_01]: I did watch them.

01:22.461 --> 01:25.242
[SPEAKER_01]: I did watch a, so a little bit of regular TV in there.

01:25.282 --> 01:27.403
[SPEAKER_01]: So probably like 13 of those 15 hours.

01:28.204 --> 01:28.584
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

01:28.624 --> 01:32.386
[SPEAKER_00]: So you did get like a little mini break between all the way up and all today.

01:32.406 --> 01:35.328
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, a little bit of drive and a little bit of food.

01:35.388 --> 01:37.629
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, but yeah, nourishment.

01:38.049 --> 01:39.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hydration that is key.

01:39.850 --> 01:42.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, there's a long day today.

01:43.504 --> 01:44.205
[SPEAKER_00]: and not over.

01:45.345 --> 01:46.626
[SPEAKER_00]: The day is not over.

01:46.646 --> 01:48.167
[SPEAKER_00]: We still have a show to cover.

01:48.187 --> 01:51.470
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw some of AW's show as well this afternoon.

01:51.950 --> 01:53.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Very jam-packed day.

01:53.551 --> 02:01.677
[SPEAKER_00]: So you saw a lot of the AW paper of you asked that out of a few matches and you saw all of the rest of the Palooza special on ESPN.

02:01.737 --> 02:11.064
[SPEAKER_00]: So overall, you're a thoughts on both shows in terms of who delivered the better show overall before we dive into

02:12.985 --> 02:20.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I would say like, you know, it's not fair for me to judge the AW show as a whole because I haven't seen the whole thing yet.

02:20.408 --> 02:24.089
[SPEAKER_01]: I have, I stopped it to do the show.

02:24.189 --> 02:28.791
[SPEAKER_01]: So I've I saw the bucks match to finish and then I assume the world title match.

02:28.811 --> 02:29.671
[SPEAKER_01]: I think just those two.

02:30.292 --> 02:33.113
[SPEAKER_01]: So but up until that point,

02:33.993 --> 02:52.299
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say, you know, it's close and they're very, very different shows, but I would say, personally, for my taste, I like the WWE show, just a little bit better that of the two, that said, I could easily see myself changing my opinion based on the last two matches on the WWE show.

02:53.840 --> 02:59.382
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought, like, I will say that I was expecting the WWE show to be better,

03:03.903 --> 03:09.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I was expecting maybe some big, you know, we're angle, return, something.

03:09.567 --> 03:18.892
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, we got one kind of special thing that happened that we weren't expecting, but I mean, I wouldn't say that that was like, you know, like, I don't know, like it.

03:19.572 --> 03:22.334
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not something that would put the show over the edge for me.

03:22.434 --> 03:28.638
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was almost just like another, just a regular PLE, like not even like a big three.

03:28.958 --> 03:31.539
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were calling us like a mini-resistant alien.

03:32.480 --> 03:41.644
[SPEAKER_01]: It was more like a, like a, you know, just whatever those random shows are backlash, you know, like one of those, like, you know, in a way.

03:42.145 --> 03:46.947
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we did get the first match of AG Lee, we got the return of Brock, but you know, I don't know.

03:49.128 --> 04:04.658
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like, as you said, a very average WWE PLE, very much a B-level show and I expected more because you are now on ESPN and the only difference was y'all was on ESPN.

04:04.778 --> 04:09.802
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the only difference you were on a bigger platform and you had to spend more money than we ever have.

04:09.822 --> 04:12.584
[SPEAKER_00]: And a very long time for a WWE show.

04:12.624 --> 04:15.586
[SPEAKER_00]: So if I'm spinning out of pocket around 30 bucks,

04:16.266 --> 04:23.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I would like to make sure those $30 are all spent for my first experience on the enhanced ESPN app.

04:23.211 --> 04:35.980
[SPEAKER_00]: The only difference was it was on ESPN and it was a perfectly fine show at a very good friend of mine go to the show live in Indianapolis and she felt like it was a glorified episode of Friday night SmackDown with higher ticket prices.

04:36.560 --> 04:49.624
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of felt the same way outside of AJ Lee's return outside of EO versus definitely the care for the Women's World Championship, it did feel like a glorified Smackdown on USA that you paid extra money for.

04:49.644 --> 04:57.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like, yeah, that EO and Stephanie match was, I mean, out of all the matches, I saw that took place today.

04:58.127 --> 05:08.189
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say that was the best match, although, you know, like said I haven't seen the top two A. W. matches and I would say the MJF mystical match from last night was better than that.

05:08.889 --> 05:11.930
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, it was, it was excellent.

05:12.310 --> 05:15.010
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, probably should have made event at the show, honestly.

05:16.391 --> 05:20.411
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, they weren't going to main event over Cody and Punk and Brock, I guess.

05:21.032 --> 05:24.732
[SPEAKER_01]: But, I thought, I thought that was the match, even going in like that

05:29.015 --> 05:34.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt that way too, then I realized kind of snuck up on me the day of like, oh, Stephanie, New York fighting for the championship.

05:34.959 --> 05:36.119
[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be a really good match.

05:36.179 --> 05:52.389
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was, I do feel like in hindsight, the mixed tax should have made a venture to show because they didn't move things around the day before it broke and seen an opening the PLE and in hindsight, those probably a very good idea, considering how that match was laid out in booked.

05:52.750 --> 05:55.351
[SPEAKER_00]: And the mixed tax match was so over and so much fun.

05:55.711 --> 05:56.972
[SPEAKER_00]: That could have been the main event.

05:59.430 --> 06:06.158
[SPEAKER_00]: McIntyre match was good, but no title switch, no surprise at the end.

06:06.798 --> 06:17.550
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like if I can tune in on a Friday night's SmackDown, put that on USA, that would have been a perfectly fine main event, just not for this show to end the night that way.

06:17.850 --> 06:18.651
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just me.

06:19.711 --> 06:21.512
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, that's a very good point.

06:21.872 --> 06:27.314
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I will also say, like, you brought up paying more for the show than you normally would have.

06:27.835 --> 06:31.296
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, so for me, I'm in Canada, so I watched on Netflix.

06:31.917 --> 06:40.260
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know a lot of people didn't have to pay for the show, like if you have, if your cable system had made the deal with ESPN.

06:40.280 --> 06:43.362
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, I don't know how many people that watched actually had to pay.

06:44.042 --> 06:56.516
[SPEAKER_01]: But I will say the one thing that I noticed and this is watching on Netflix and I don't normally watch these shows live so I think it usually skips past the breaks for me when I'm watching on delay watching live.

06:57.297 --> 07:12.864
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't even get like actual commercials, we got these just random like WWE superstars posing and we will return in, you know, in a countdown clock in the top right corner and that's all we got during the breaks.

07:13.085 --> 07:13.285
[SPEAKER_01]: So,

07:14.165 --> 07:21.808
[SPEAKER_01]: So for Netflix and and my friend who I watched with he does normally watch live and he said like they've never had that on Netflix.

07:21.828 --> 07:26.850
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is something that's changed with the move to SP and it's also affected the Netflix.

07:27.970 --> 07:41.255
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know why, but you know, like so for them they used to get like interviews, maybe video packages building up the next match or something and they we just got this stock footage, which was really weird.

07:42.267 --> 07:42.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

07:42.747 --> 08:05.693
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you're watching an ASPN, we got legitimately commercials for three minutes in between the matches and you dated with commercials, which was something that you got on peacock, if you had like the plus version of it versus premium plus, where you got your superstar, you got your superstar profiles from your favorite WWE superstars, and you got your video packages too, but yeah, the commercials.

08:06.633 --> 08:11.480
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like I was watching Amazon Prime and it was Thursday and I footballing you would just run the ad.

08:11.620 --> 08:22.914
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was something I had to get used to as well because it's not just WWE during barter time, you're actually running ads to kill time in and between matches.

08:23.688 --> 08:36.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that would that would contribute to you and others and I see Maria made this comment too like that it it felt feels like a rar smack down when you're what you know when you're getting commercials in between every match.

08:37.033 --> 08:48.377
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there was what five matches so you know, we got, I mean, it's not that much I guess for a three and a half hour show to get 15 minutes of commercials, but you know when when you're actually having to sit through them that's a lot.

08:49.622 --> 08:50.623
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't fast forward.

08:50.643 --> 09:01.848
[SPEAKER_00]: They have like the little clock that you, they say, hey, in three minutes, these ads are going to go buy and then you're back and then you're not truly back because there's more like a little WWE ads in there as well.

09:01.928 --> 09:04.509
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a four minute break when you think about it.

09:04.549 --> 09:05.290
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just.

09:06.050 --> 09:09.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like there's a legit 15 minutes probably between each match.

09:10.813 --> 09:15.236
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, between, you know, whatever happened after the match, the commercial coming back.

09:15.296 --> 09:25.863
[SPEAKER_01]: And, oh, you know, we're going to be in, you know, perth next month and, you know, this and that and the other thing and and then you then you get your video package for the next match and then you get your entrance is and then you get the match.

09:26.467 --> 09:29.288
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely something we have to get used to.

09:30.148 --> 09:31.968
[SPEAKER_00]: ESPN was a little glitchy for me.

09:32.008 --> 09:33.769
[SPEAKER_00]: It did buffer a couple of times.

09:34.309 --> 09:35.629
[SPEAKER_00]: So I got to work through those kinks.

09:35.649 --> 09:39.350
[SPEAKER_00]: But otherwise, it was a clean viewing experience for the most part.

09:39.370 --> 09:42.311
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's get right into the show shall we?

09:42.391 --> 09:52.473
[SPEAKER_00]: So we can get things off with a very long video package highlighting the partnership between WWE and ESPN that it was beautifully produced.

09:55.414 --> 10:02.518
[SPEAKER_00]: intro during the post, the pre-show, I should say, because it is when it tests the appetite of a clock to see if it was working.

10:02.958 --> 10:12.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Saw that, they replayed it in the arena, then we had like the most expensive pyro for show, not named Ressa Mania or Saadie show.

10:12.524 --> 10:18.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Like pyro was firing off mid video package, triple H comes in the ring to introduce us to the

10:24.130 --> 10:37.934
[SPEAKER_00]: into our first match, which was Brock Lesnar versus John Cena, a match we have not seen in about 11 years since Brock Mall, Cena at SummerSlam 2014 where you became the WWE Champion.

10:37.954 --> 10:44.575
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get this match up that was built up courtesy of Brock's return in SummerSlam last month, very controversial return.

10:45.015 --> 10:48.676
[SPEAKER_00]: And since that time, Cena and last never been appearing separately

10:51.277 --> 10:52.758
[SPEAKER_00]: We thought to ourselves well.

10:53.118 --> 10:55.420
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen seeing an overcome last number four.

10:55.880 --> 10:56.901
[SPEAKER_00]: He can do it again.

10:57.341 --> 10:58.542
[SPEAKER_00]: This is his retirement tour.

10:58.562 --> 10:59.743
[SPEAKER_00]: You expect him to win.

11:00.083 --> 11:01.484
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets to hear a welcome.

11:01.564 --> 11:04.366
[SPEAKER_00]: We get some kids coming out there, which was adorable.

11:04.926 --> 11:07.848
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the match starts with Alicia Taylor's introduction.

11:08.188 --> 11:17.741
[SPEAKER_00]: for John Cena and then in a shocker poll, there wasn't really a shocker, your name sick, Paul Hayman appears to do the entering introduction for Brock Lesnar.

11:18.141 --> 11:24.931
[SPEAKER_00]: Something that hasn't happened in a very long time and I guess that Paul says love for his former client.

11:26.090 --> 11:32.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that was, I mean, I was a little surprised just that they were that blatant about it.

11:33.012 --> 11:37.613
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, last night, I think it was when he said we have to talk, right?

11:38.153 --> 11:39.793
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he shows up here.

11:41.153 --> 11:50.415
[SPEAKER_01]: One thing I wanted to bring up with that opening video package is that the first time we've seen Vince's face on a WWE programming since he left?

11:51.176 --> 11:52.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause he was all over that thing.

11:53.536 --> 11:54.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe so.

11:54.736 --> 12:03.158
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the most Vince we've seen in quite some time that even re did the WWE signature opening for the show because it's a new era.

12:03.198 --> 12:05.239
[SPEAKER_00]: So they updated that which was nice.

12:05.619 --> 12:10.820
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't notice if Vince was in that, but I did notice him a lot in that ESPN package.

12:10.880 --> 12:13.581
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I mean, it's, you know, whatever.

12:13.761 --> 12:18.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I wouldn't say bothered me or anything, but it was a discussion point with the people I was watching with.

12:19.460 --> 12:24.144
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, so and yeah, the the kids was a nice touch.

12:24.785 --> 12:30.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, one of the people I was watching with was like, he wanted Brock to go through and start f5 and all the kids.

12:30.871 --> 12:33.373
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, no, now listen.

12:33.393 --> 12:34.954
[SPEAKER_00]: Now sir, why do now.

12:39.894 --> 12:42.077
[SPEAKER_00]: We cannot be having a big ass of all suit.

12:42.717 --> 12:42.898
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

12:43.598 --> 12:44.880
[SPEAKER_00]: We cannot be doing that.

12:45.240 --> 12:49.325
[SPEAKER_00]: And the kids were already traumatized enough as we'll get to in a moment.

12:49.846 --> 12:51.348
[SPEAKER_01]: I totally noticed they were on television.

12:52.389 --> 12:54.732
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, that girl will get to her.

12:55.092 --> 13:13.146
[SPEAKER_00]: because she was the best worker of the night in terms of reactions, but the match itself can we call it a match because it was just a bunch of moves, let's hit our finishers, let's go back and forth and seen it a lot of selling for less rain was very dominant, physical, powerful, early on, and

13:14.767 --> 13:16.249
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a Brock Lesnar special.

13:16.269 --> 13:17.370
[SPEAKER_00]: You got suplexes.

13:17.430 --> 13:31.786
[SPEAKER_00]: You got some violence mixed in John scene ahead of about five A A It's trying to get the W and Brock Lesnar kicked down and then lessen her just went on an F5 parade just hit scene with maybe six F5s to get the rest to get the pin.

13:32.667 --> 13:42.277
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fans were surprised by this outcome so was I as well because as we out as we all know, Cena is down to his last few dates in WWE.

13:42.658 --> 13:51.227
[SPEAKER_00]: We are in the single digits and this is how you waste one of his last matches in the company by having him get mold by Brock Lesnar.

13:51.347 --> 13:58.173
[SPEAKER_00]: and then Brock just walks away, standing tall, seeing the cells beat down, he gets up, he gets applauded for it.

13:58.613 --> 14:03.818
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is for like, well, this is the way we're gonna start to show on a very sad somber note.

14:03.858 --> 14:10.403
[SPEAKER_00]: We have kids in the crowd crying, they're traumatized, devastated that the hero got beat down.

14:10.443 --> 14:12.866
[SPEAKER_00]: There was one girl who realized, wait a minute.

14:13.466 --> 14:14.226
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on camera.

14:14.326 --> 14:16.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I cannot cry after tough enough.

14:16.948 --> 14:17.588
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a tough one.

14:17.608 --> 14:18.368
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a real one.

14:18.768 --> 14:19.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I laughed at that.

14:20.209 --> 14:34.095
[SPEAKER_00]: So it felt like I'm glad this did not mean event the show because if that was the main event that would have been a piss pool way to introduce everyone to the ES to the WWE on ESPN era.

14:34.135 --> 14:41.198
[SPEAKER_00]: So they made the right decision to open the show with this, even though I hated the booking and I really despise the finish of this match.

14:42.508 --> 15:00.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I thought I thought Cena should have won, although I understand Brock Lesnar signed a new deal and pretty clear if you're setting, if you're putting them up with Hayman and then especially given how the match went, like they've probably got big plans for Brock.

15:01.354 --> 15:04.359
[SPEAKER_01]: going forward, which that's a whole other discussion.

15:05.460 --> 15:11.269
[SPEAKER_01]: And I definitely don't think it's a good idea to make big plans for brought going forward, but clearly they have.

15:12.511 --> 15:15.736
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, in that sense, it's probably the only finish you could do.

15:16.617 --> 15:20.538
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's probably the way the match had to go, no matter which one of them was going to win.

15:20.578 --> 15:25.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, it was going to be like the match itself was exactly the match I expected.

15:25.699 --> 15:28.299
[SPEAKER_01]: I just wasn't sure, you know, who was going to come out on top.

15:28.479 --> 15:30.500
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and it could have been either one of them, honestly.

15:30.540 --> 15:35.721
[SPEAKER_01]: And until until he hit the last F5 and pinned them, you know, I didn't know.

15:35.821 --> 15:37.421
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, and Tina could have kicked out.

15:37.481 --> 15:41.122
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he could have hit, you know, six out of two adjustments and got the pin.

15:41.162 --> 15:43.182
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's just the way that match was going to go.

15:44.082 --> 15:46.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and it just, you know, it's okay, Brock wins.

15:46.546 --> 15:47.587
[SPEAKER_01]: He wins decisively.

15:47.607 --> 15:49.489
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he didn't.

15:50.030 --> 15:52.874
[SPEAKER_01]: He did, I think he did him one after the match or a couple.

15:53.915 --> 15:55.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it wasn't too bad.

15:55.818 --> 15:56.459
[SPEAKER_01]: He's done worse.

15:57.693 --> 15:58.514
[SPEAKER_00]: He's done worse.

15:58.594 --> 16:00.156
[SPEAKER_00]: He hit an F5 on a referee.

16:00.176 --> 16:00.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

16:00.857 --> 16:01.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

16:01.037 --> 16:01.518
[SPEAKER_01]: He did that.

16:01.598 --> 16:02.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that took a great bump.

16:03.040 --> 16:03.460
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.

16:03.480 --> 16:05.062
[SPEAKER_00]: I think seen him at eight one more.

16:05.082 --> 16:06.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, from not mistaken.

16:06.784 --> 16:08.026
[SPEAKER_00]: And then less than a leaves.

16:08.807 --> 16:10.248
[SPEAKER_00]: And then seen a wicks up.

16:10.509 --> 16:12.091
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says, wow, that happened.

16:12.671 --> 16:13.692
[SPEAKER_00]: And now on to Perth.

16:14.273 --> 16:16.256
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he, he got to leave on his own powers.

16:16.296 --> 16:16.716
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good.

16:16.776 --> 16:16.997
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess.

16:17.477 --> 16:28.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's something, but still like that's just the first impression we have of the espionara, John Cena gets beat down like that.

16:28.283 --> 16:32.285
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very much a redo of what happened back in summer, so I'm 2014.

16:32.745 --> 16:42.530
[SPEAKER_00]: But at least that one was like physical dominance that people did not expect because then going in, you wanted to see a back and forth match between Cena and Lesnar.

16:43.090 --> 16:53.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And lessen her mall that man and I think that was a way to establish him as an unstoppable champion made sense this booking here when you have seen at the twilight years of his career.

16:55.845 --> 17:00.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you really want to have him get demolished like that definite choices there?

17:00.428 --> 17:10.355
[SPEAKER_00]: So now on to Perth Australia, we're seeing it will go overseas and make another appearance his final time in Australia for a PLA will be competing in a match.

17:10.395 --> 17:16.059
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know for certain, but I don't think he should have lost his match the way he should have.

17:16.259 --> 17:19.442
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just from an Optics standpoint, I just thought it was a choice.

17:20.047 --> 17:20.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no.

17:20.747 --> 17:31.254
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, if if if Brock was not going to be used in a major role going forward, then you could obviously have seen a win that you know, I need should have win.

17:32.115 --> 17:39.980
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think like, if Brock is like, you know, I don't know, like, I assume Brock's going to be like, going for a world title or maybe wrestling CM Punk.

17:40.000 --> 17:40.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's got to have something to do with

17:42.221 --> 17:44.084
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so it's going to be a big deal.

17:44.604 --> 17:46.967
[SPEAKER_01]: And he probably shouldn't be losing the scene.

17:47.067 --> 17:48.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, if that's the case.

17:48.930 --> 17:53.235
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I would argue back and say, well, I wouldn't do that with Brock.

17:53.676 --> 17:57.140
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, you know, bring them, you know, go send them to Saskatchewan.

17:57.180 --> 17:58.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Let them come back for summer.

17:58.061 --> 17:58.602
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm next year.

17:58.622 --> 18:00.825
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like I don't need to see him on my television.

18:01.566 --> 18:12.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, very much, uh, if at all, uh, if you want to keep paying the man, find you got more money than God, but uh, I don't need to see him on my television or on these PLEs.

18:14.547 --> 18:15.807
[SPEAKER_00]: I share the same sentiment.

18:16.287 --> 18:25.030
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel very numwatching Lester matches after calling by name on the show to be professional, but I normally call him redacted.

18:25.050 --> 18:27.550
[SPEAKER_01]: And others are doctor redacted wrestler.

18:27.570 --> 18:32.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I every time I see him and I see him a lot because I watch a lot of wrestling.

18:33.132 --> 18:34.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I think of you and Scott.

18:34.852 --> 18:37.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, we we call Vince redacted.

18:37.294 --> 18:38.615
[SPEAKER_00]: We call Brock redacted.

18:38.695 --> 18:40.616
[SPEAKER_00]: So sing redacted back.

18:40.896 --> 18:43.779
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly just feel numb to him every time I see him on screen.

18:43.799 --> 18:46.100
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like I just want the segment to be over.

18:46.160 --> 18:47.441
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to see you too long.

18:56.147 --> 18:57.108
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks huge.

18:57.488 --> 18:59.229
[SPEAKER_01]: I gasped like three times.

18:59.709 --> 19:03.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then, you know, one of my buddy was like, he's always been big.

19:03.291 --> 19:04.451
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, not this big.

19:04.751 --> 19:05.052
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

19:05.972 --> 19:06.953
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he.

19:07.333 --> 19:09.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've seen him big.

19:09.814 --> 19:17.558
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like, he looks huge in terms of the muscles, the body mass, everything looks jacked.

19:17.898 --> 19:18.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he said he was cool.

19:19.019 --> 19:19.779
[SPEAKER_01]: But did he say it was 330?

19:20.180 --> 19:22.842
[SPEAKER_01]: He might very well be every bit of 330.

19:23.442 --> 19:23.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:24.363 --> 19:27.966
[SPEAKER_01]: And when he was peak UFC was, you know, he had to weigh in at 265.

19:28.086 --> 19:28.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:29.007 --> 19:29.767
[SPEAKER_00]: And he looked.

19:30.428 --> 19:30.668
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:30.928 --> 19:36.492
[SPEAKER_00]: Slemmer there versus being completely jacked here for sure.

19:36.692 --> 19:37.793
[SPEAKER_01]: This was like, yeah.

19:38.093 --> 19:43.618
[SPEAKER_01]: This is like when Triple H came back, but way more, you know, like when he came back from the Quad injury,

19:44.185 --> 19:49.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this was actually bigger than Triple H and that is saying something by a lot, actually.

19:49.268 --> 19:56.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando makes a very good point, the John scene of retirement tours when they're very confusing, well, tour.

19:57.073 --> 19:58.313
[SPEAKER_00]: It is very, very confusing.

19:58.794 --> 19:59.814
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been on a journey.

20:00.114 --> 20:03.957
[SPEAKER_00]: You've had hill scene, uh, we've had baby face redemption, John scene, uh,

20:04.537 --> 20:09.978
[SPEAKER_00]: now we have seen a eating loss is on the retirement tour on his way to retirement in a couple of months.

20:10.498 --> 20:11.738
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely been a choice.

20:11.758 --> 20:15.919
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Scott and I have joked that Triple H says, I don't have a proper retirement.

20:15.999 --> 20:18.600
[SPEAKER_00]: So none of you people were going to retire.

20:18.620 --> 20:20.200
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have a proper retirement.

20:20.240 --> 20:21.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Not on my watch.

20:21.120 --> 20:26.041
[SPEAKER_00]: So seeing a poor baby, he's being sabotaged via his retirement tour.

20:30.862 --> 20:37.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Cope did pay tribute to John Cena with the five knuckle shuffle and the AA beautiful moment.

20:37.724 --> 20:46.606
[SPEAKER_00]: They won't be able to retire each other in the ring, but to see them pay tribute to each other across the aisle was beautiful to see.

20:47.066 --> 20:48.166
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.

20:50.067 --> 20:51.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Are we doing the, are we doing the ratings?

20:52.027 --> 20:53.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we are so.

20:53.407 --> 20:53.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

20:53.928 --> 20:54.808
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll give it, uh,

20:55.703 --> 21:01.324
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll give it three, no, two and a half, two and a half F5s.

21:02.945 --> 21:04.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I share a brain with you, I agree.

21:05.285 --> 21:07.686
[SPEAKER_00]: You saying three, I said you're being very generous, sir.

21:08.326 --> 21:17.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Three F5s would have been, you know, a bit much, but I will also go with you and say it was about two and a half F5s in terms of the quality of the match.

21:17.568 --> 21:22.049
[SPEAKER_00]: But shout out to the crying children in the crowd and the parents who brought their

21:24.398 --> 21:28.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I mean, how much money they spent to traumatize their kids?

21:28.359 --> 21:39.863
[SPEAKER_00]: $13,000 if I had to catch those tickets for high, very expensive expensive to see these stores and I hear crying, but despite how it went,

21:40.971 --> 21:45.976
[SPEAKER_00]: when you can sell that to the children, and the children can believe it.

21:46.556 --> 21:48.238
[SPEAKER_00]: You've done your job effectively.

21:48.839 --> 21:52.062
[SPEAKER_00]: You've told a story that makes the children care.

21:52.582 --> 21:54.945
[SPEAKER_00]: In that moment, the child thinks is real damn it.

21:55.045 --> 22:02.632
[SPEAKER_00]: They think it's real, they think it's real pain and suffering and anguish, and you've done your job if you've made a child cry.

22:02.652 --> 22:02.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

22:04.545 --> 22:10.209
[SPEAKER_00]: Except that you want me to cry except it's up the greatest seller who said I'm not crying.

22:10.249 --> 22:11.630
[SPEAKER_00]: You won't get me on camera.

22:12.110 --> 22:14.732
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to know he might still be crying.

22:15.532 --> 22:16.713
[SPEAKER_00]: People are crying on the way home.

22:17.174 --> 22:17.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:18.334 --> 22:22.857
[SPEAKER_00]: It's parents like offered ice cream like no, well, he's a drew he was probably drew fan too.

22:22.877 --> 22:24.598
[SPEAKER_01]: So Don't we hurt.

22:25.699 --> 22:29.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Get a bad night when both of your guys loose in their matches.

22:30.312 --> 22:34.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a crying shame indeed as we get to our next match.

22:35.595 --> 22:45.521
[SPEAKER_00]: which was the Usos versus the brawn bronze, Boston read and brawn breaker in a tag team match with extra special guest referee, LA night.

22:46.042 --> 22:48.703
[SPEAKER_00]: And LA night simply did not care about the rules.

22:49.184 --> 22:51.205
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like anybody except Jimmy in this match.

22:51.245 --> 22:52.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Do whatever you want.

22:52.406 --> 22:54.827
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll turn my head, you can do whatever you like.

22:55.408 --> 22:57.909
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Usos came out to their OG music.

22:57.929 --> 23:00.311
[SPEAKER_00]: I think fans have been like, whoa, wait a minute, listen.

23:00.851 --> 23:02.012
[SPEAKER_00]: We, that's cool.

23:02.232 --> 23:03.093
[SPEAKER_00]: That's your original mix.

23:03.913 --> 23:13.279
[SPEAKER_00]: We want the remix and so they gave them the remix of Jay's theme song and they had the cameras, the flashlights on to give the amp a young sub everybody eating.

23:13.299 --> 23:18.602
[SPEAKER_00]: That that was a nice touch to introduce the SPN crowd to that kind of

23:19.342 --> 23:29.649
[SPEAKER_00]: entrance in crop reaction and coaching to tell the fans turn the lights on because I remember when it got over really big overseas and in that translate state side.

23:29.709 --> 23:35.332
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe it catches on this time around via the flashing lights effects on the cell phones.

23:35.833 --> 23:42.357
[SPEAKER_00]: The match itself I thought it was very fun, you know, you had some high spots here and there, the oozees are incredibly over

23:47.020 --> 23:50.362
[SPEAKER_00]: that was very odd, midway through this match.

23:50.382 --> 23:52.324
[SPEAKER_00]: We had plunder, we had violence, of course.

23:52.964 --> 23:56.866
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in a moment that I'm still trying to figure out exactly what happened.

23:58.147 --> 24:07.393
[SPEAKER_00]: J. Uso chucked a chair at Bronson Reed and it ricocheted back onto him and he busted himself open.

24:07.413 --> 24:13.857
[SPEAKER_00]: And the next thing I remember was the fact that Bron Breaker was covered in blood.

24:13.937 --> 24:14.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, what happened?

24:15.978 --> 24:19.419
[SPEAKER_00]: who got busted up into wasn't brawn and then I look at Jay's head.

24:19.459 --> 24:24.480
[SPEAKER_00]: He's completely covered and then we have the brawn bronze check out Jimmy and Jay.

24:24.760 --> 24:38.343
[SPEAKER_00]: They go through the table and then brawn takes out Jay and then brought some tsunami on Jay for the victory and the hill stand tall LA night counts to pin one two three very clean and my friend who was there said it.

24:38.823 --> 24:44.827
[SPEAKER_00]: basically changed the map because so much blood was spilling all over the map when Jacob busted open.

24:44.847 --> 24:45.868
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was a lot of blood.

24:46.228 --> 24:48.710
[SPEAKER_00]: It carried over the commercial break a lot of cleanup there.

24:49.130 --> 24:50.952
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was a very freaky spot.

24:51.392 --> 24:54.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Hope he was a concuss because of that kind of end of the match on a downnote.

24:55.335 --> 25:01.839
[SPEAKER_00]: But wow, I was just stunned that he basically took a chair,

25:07.818 --> 25:15.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that was the, like I was, you know, again, I'm watching with people and I kind of like didn't even notice what happened.

25:16.103 --> 25:21.306
[SPEAKER_01]: You describing it, okay, now it makes sense because all of a sudden, Jay is just bleeding like crazy.

25:22.026 --> 25:31.812
[SPEAKER_01]: And we couldn't figure a why and then yeah, so you mentioned because they now just didn't really like they they call the tension of the blood, but they didn't really call attention to how it happened.

25:32.652 --> 25:50.146
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and yeah, that's, so that's, yeah, that's, that's something, um, I thought like, yeah, I was a pretty good match, um, again, the LA night being the way he was, uh, you kind of expected that going in because of how the interactions have been with him and all these people.

25:51.026 --> 25:51.566
[SPEAKER_01]: going in.

25:51.586 --> 26:03.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the fact that the vision had matching tights and, you know, black and gold, you know, championship gold kind of, you know, look like the hurts into get a little bit with those tights.

26:03.692 --> 26:14.557
[SPEAKER_01]: But the them getting a win over the Uso is makes me wonder like maybe they put them against judgment day and they win those tag team titles and then you got the whole stable with belts.

26:15.639 --> 26:20.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Other than Brock if he's part of that stable I don't know if he is, but you know the division of all four of

26:21.748 --> 26:36.351
[SPEAKER_01]: quote unquote, the vision of pun on intended, having belts, you know, Becky, Brown, Brownson, and Seth, it would be kind of cool and they could kind of run rough shot over off for the next few months until people start winning them.

26:36.411 --> 26:37.891
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of really liked that a lot.

26:38.391 --> 26:51.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, Brownson read, especially like I thought this match, like, Brown does his stuff and it's always impressive and the speed and the power and everything, but I thought, Brownson, to me stood out in this match and seeing him get the win was great.

26:52.467 --> 26:53.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Love that for him too.

26:53.987 --> 26:55.128
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very good in the ring.

26:55.148 --> 26:58.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you give him an opportunity to shine, he always boils out.

26:58.689 --> 27:02.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Braun breakers going to Braun breaker like I expect him to do crazy stuff.

27:02.670 --> 27:05.311
[SPEAKER_00]: And he did so once again tonight during this match.

27:05.411 --> 27:10.612
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a really nice showcase for Braun and Reed because he can really go at a very high level as well.

27:10.672 --> 27:12.313
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also a great job.

27:12.793 --> 27:17.274
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, one of my favorite to act teams ever in WWE and they delivered.

27:17.314 --> 27:19.115
[SPEAKER_00]: The finish was definitely something else.

27:19.815 --> 27:22.417
[SPEAKER_00]: LA night, he did call things early down the middle.

27:22.758 --> 27:28.162
[SPEAKER_00]: We did have a near disaster when Jake almost clocked LA with that still chair.

27:28.543 --> 27:34.768
[SPEAKER_00]: Love how close it was to LA getting hit, but that is bills tension to whatever happens on Monday night.

27:34.808 --> 27:41.473
[SPEAKER_00]: Rock, as I do for C, a match between LA night and J. U. So is there teasing Jay's care to switch a rule?

27:41.874 --> 27:43.555
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gone from, hey, I'm

27:47.218 --> 27:50.399
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really hungry for a championship gold.

27:50.859 --> 27:53.140
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of like my cousin Roman Reigns that way.

27:53.160 --> 27:54.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the power.

27:54.540 --> 27:56.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I love how our feels.

27:56.060 --> 27:57.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be the tribal chief.

27:58.261 --> 27:59.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Jimmy calls him not on it.

27:59.581 --> 28:03.742
[SPEAKER_00]: So you do see these underlying stereotypes, which is very good.

28:03.762 --> 28:06.263
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're gonna see that kind of build up post.

28:06.983 --> 28:12.626
[SPEAKER_00]: press a polluse a heading into crown jewel and ultimately probably survivor series in November as well.

28:12.686 --> 28:17.229
[SPEAKER_00]: We have to think about the mysterious phone call that Jay had on Monday, Naira as well.

28:17.289 --> 28:19.070
[SPEAKER_00]: I presume it was Regulman Reigns.

28:19.370 --> 28:21.031
[SPEAKER_00]: The talk strategy heading into their match.

28:21.471 --> 28:23.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect Roman to return as well.

28:23.212 --> 28:25.334
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would love to see that interaction as well.

28:25.714 --> 28:33.518
[SPEAKER_00]: When Jay kind of bucks Rome, and what Rome is reaction is going to be because hey, until further notice, I am the travel chief.

28:33.978 --> 28:34.539
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not.

28:35.735 --> 28:44.125
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, and you know, Jay put on his big boy pants would be something to see and then they certainly hinted at it.

28:44.546 --> 28:51.954
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I am definitely intrigued me to would you actually have Jay go heal.

28:56.505 --> 29:10.276
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, would I, I, that's risky, I think, I think that's where it's going and I'm really like, I'm, I'm, like, I'm intrigued, but I'm also a little bit worried.

29:11.877 --> 29:31.171
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, you see that frustration and the other thing is I think there's the eminent return of Gunther right like I've heard that he's pretty close to coming back so that could also play into Jay and you know, however, Gunther's presented when he comes back does he come back does he get cheered does that further Jay's frustration.

29:32.111 --> 29:37.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, and then we'd Roman and and you know, maybe he, you know, gets upset with Roman.

29:37.672 --> 29:52.736
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think there was, yeah, there was something even when Roman, uh, they had an interaction on, I think it was Clash of Paris or maybe it was like the raw right before that where Roman was basically like almost telling him like you've got a,

29:53.416 --> 29:56.957
[SPEAKER_01]: you got to kind of pick up the straps and and take charge of things.

29:58.358 --> 30:02.920
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, that maybe that's what why his impetus for doing it would be.

30:03.880 --> 30:11.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and the irony of Roman being selfless and then J being selfish, right?

30:11.243 --> 30:11.823
[SPEAKER_00]: That's lip.

30:12.363 --> 30:16.125
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would be something that's out of character for Roman and then it comes back to bite him in the ass.

30:16.567 --> 30:18.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like y'all told me to change.

30:18.368 --> 30:20.948
[SPEAKER_00]: I was being like this self-absorbed dude.

30:21.568 --> 30:22.349
[SPEAKER_00]: I've repented.

30:22.449 --> 30:26.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Now my cousin is going to be the one it's going to be this asshole to me now.

30:26.930 --> 30:29.071
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be like a nice role reversal.

30:29.711 --> 30:33.792
[SPEAKER_00]: And as we keep saying, the bloodlines to remind us truly, despite

30:34.292 --> 30:36.014
[SPEAKER_00]: how long it's been going on.

30:36.074 --> 30:37.435
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a gift that keeps on giving.

30:37.455 --> 30:40.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you recycle it, you do something new and different.

30:40.177 --> 30:44.060
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're teasing a hillturn with Jiu-Sau, which could be fascinating.

30:44.080 --> 30:44.961
[SPEAKER_00]: You're risking merch.

30:45.381 --> 30:50.305
[SPEAKER_00]: You're risking the pants and not being as, as participatory with the eating.

30:50.425 --> 30:56.170
[SPEAKER_00]: But if it's a way to get great character work out of J, then that's a good thing for me

30:59.613 --> 31:07.939
[SPEAKER_00]: he is when locked in a great promo and you have to give him something good to talk about and that requires a motivated character.

31:07.959 --> 31:15.305
[SPEAKER_00]: They can stick his teeth into and you don't to be reliant on gimmicks and catch phrases if we can get away from that or a bit.

31:15.885 --> 31:16.726
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fine with it.

31:17.046 --> 31:18.406
[SPEAKER_00]: The fans are going to do what they're going to do.

31:18.446 --> 31:24.650
[SPEAKER_00]: If he's great in all areas of his game, they will still share him if he's great at what he does.

31:25.170 --> 31:27.612
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they feel certain way about it, then they won't.

31:27.732 --> 31:36.377
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think he does the a low something, a little switch in the gear to get back to where he was pre-eating pre-champion ship.

31:37.237 --> 31:47.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and you want to make that change before the fans decide for you and stop eating and basically just treating him in differently.

31:48.664 --> 31:55.368
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think everything you laid out there is bang on.

31:56.193 --> 32:05.702
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and we'll see how LA and I plays and it's plays into this as well because he's doing a very good job in this storyline and Jimmy always going to be a wild card as well.

32:06.162 --> 32:12.008
[SPEAKER_00]: So all in all, like despite how the match ended, there are ways we're going in direction that I do like.

32:12.028 --> 32:15.211
[SPEAKER_00]: So Paul, what is your final rating for this match?

32:16.592 --> 32:17.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Three and a half years.

32:19.033 --> 32:22.134
[SPEAKER_00]: I concur on the same brain tonight.

32:22.194 --> 32:24.254
[SPEAKER_00]: We're working in Flow in here, which I appreciate.

32:24.315 --> 32:26.655
[SPEAKER_00]: So kind of staying on the same track.

32:27.155 --> 32:30.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Our next match is for the vacant.

32:30.896 --> 32:31.717
[SPEAKER_00]: Goodbye, vacant.

32:31.757 --> 32:32.597
[SPEAKER_00]: You've had a good run.

32:32.617 --> 32:38.258
[SPEAKER_00]: It is for the vacant WWE women's World Championship, but with EOS Sky versus Defeatvercare.

32:38.718 --> 32:39.859
[SPEAKER_00]: And this match was

32:40.895 --> 32:55.446
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, the best in ring rusting match of the night, both ladies went out there and they just put on a clinic put on a show and they just really showed how great they are in various ways.

32:55.506 --> 32:56.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie has been over.

32:57.307 --> 33:05.511
[SPEAKER_00]: Since the moment she stepped foot in WWE NXT and how she's really gotten over on the main roster, EOS guy, her last year has been incredible.

33:05.811 --> 33:22.558
[SPEAKER_00]: You put these two together, they will create magic and they did so and I greatly enjoyed it, love the near falls, love the counters, love the high flying, loved everything in the middle and then Stephanie goes up top, his spinal tap beautifully cleanly.

33:23.298 --> 33:27.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, when she hits that finisher, it's gorgeous.

33:27.900 --> 33:31.302
[SPEAKER_00]: In never misses, the pinning combinations even more beautiful.

33:31.762 --> 33:35.844
[SPEAKER_00]: Got the dub, wins the championship, clean, and the best part, Paul.

33:36.304 --> 33:38.625
[SPEAKER_00]: Zero shenanigans.

33:38.985 --> 34:08.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, like we're watching this match and waiting you know Oscars coming and I think even the fans like they were I won't say they weren't reacting because they were reacting very well to this match although like not at first but as the match went on like I'd say about like five six minutes in that's when they really start to get into it and then they they never lost them but there was a point when you kind of sense that okay everybody knows the finish isn't going to come until we see Oscar.

34:08.745 --> 34:12.430
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she hits that spinal tap and you're like, oh, maybe it will.

34:12.950 --> 34:16.575
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it did and it was clean and it was one.

34:16.595 --> 34:26.708
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was like, and we saw that in the main event too, where it was like, you know, when Cody hit the crossroads and then he was probably gonna hit like two or three more and then go for the pin.

34:27.068 --> 34:28.170
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was like, you know, it's one.

34:28.690 --> 34:29.311
[SPEAKER_01]: And then that's it.

34:29.671 --> 34:35.695
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're like, oh, okay, like we don't have to do like spam finishers, you know, like you can just have a win.

34:35.715 --> 34:38.556
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this.

34:39.357 --> 34:46.942
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like Stephanie winning the title is probably she's just kind of holding on to it until Rhea takes it in birth.

34:47.442 --> 34:54.667
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, at least she has the title and she'll always be a former world champion and she can probably win that title back.

34:55.287 --> 34:57.710
[SPEAKER_01]: anytime she's at that level.

34:58.231 --> 35:01.054
[SPEAKER_01]: Eosky is will never leave that level.

35:01.174 --> 35:04.718
[SPEAKER_01]: She is a Michael Cole called her and I agree with it.

35:05.559 --> 35:08.843
[SPEAKER_01]: The best in-ring women's wrestler in the world.

35:09.884 --> 35:13.288
[SPEAKER_01]: I will admit to not watching a lot of stardom or any really.

35:13.768 --> 35:17.111
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, you know, I, I won't, I can't compare to those women.

35:17.211 --> 35:18.692
[SPEAKER_01]: And I understand a lot of them are very good.

35:19.032 --> 35:27.719
[SPEAKER_01]: But of the ones I watch and I watch a lot, she is definitely the best Mercedes right below her, but I would have EO at the top.

35:28.500 --> 35:33.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, Fernando says, I like to put Stephanie V in that conversation as well.

35:33.444 --> 35:34.324
[SPEAKER_00]: She's excellent.

35:35.305 --> 35:36.166
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, listen, I,

35:38.528 --> 35:45.672
[SPEAKER_00]: was Julia fan for a good while and then Stephanie showed up and I was like, you know what?

35:45.692 --> 35:58.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a new favorite because Stephanie's presence is everything and she's goes out there and she just wrestles balls out at a very high level, very much like EOS guy.

35:58.278 --> 36:01.800
[SPEAKER_00]: I think EOS guy is the best wrestler in WWE.

36:03.121 --> 36:05.322
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the best wrestlers in the world.

36:06.063 --> 36:11.405
[SPEAKER_00]: And whenever the voting goes for the Wrestling Observer, she should definitely be in the conversation.

36:11.425 --> 36:16.228
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of the best wrestlers overall for the year, because she has been incredible.

36:16.308 --> 36:18.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie, I will say, has been right up there.

36:18.929 --> 36:21.111
[SPEAKER_00]: She's always shows up in this match.

36:21.511 --> 36:24.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Was great as Paul said, not spam finishers.

36:24.552 --> 36:26.754
[SPEAKER_00]: This was in a 2K 25 wrestling match.

36:27.094 --> 36:28.955
[SPEAKER_00]: This was pure grabs.

36:29.415 --> 36:30.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.

36:30.455 --> 36:31.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Finish was great.

36:31.576 --> 36:33.676
[SPEAKER_00]: I will agree that I was listening to the crowd.

36:34.196 --> 36:38.057
[SPEAKER_00]: They were into it, but I expected more because I think you were right.

36:38.457 --> 36:41.818
[SPEAKER_00]: They thought Oscar was coming out there, Kyrie, saying was coming out there.

36:42.138 --> 36:43.098
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be some trouble.

36:43.438 --> 36:48.920
[SPEAKER_00]: They stayed in the back, which means on Monday night Raw, Oscar is going to demolish EOS guy.

36:49.540 --> 36:50.320
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kyrie St.

36:50.360 --> 36:51.340
[SPEAKER_00]: is going to join in.

36:51.620 --> 36:55.401
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll be torn for a minute and then she's going to jump right on in because they've been

36:59.442 --> 37:05.046
[SPEAKER_00]: but I will push back a little bit Paul because it's Perth's crown jewel.

37:05.626 --> 37:12.091
[SPEAKER_00]: The rules are unless they do it on television beforehand, it is champion versus champion this year.

37:12.111 --> 37:13.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right.

37:14.252 --> 37:14.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

37:15.233 --> 37:18.515
[SPEAKER_01]: So, oh Stephanie versus what Jade?

37:19.296 --> 37:22.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Jade Tiffany potentially most likely.

37:22.838 --> 37:24.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you think she's retaining?

37:24.238 --> 37:24.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

37:24.939 --> 37:25.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

37:25.919 --> 37:26.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

37:26.539 --> 37:27.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully not Naya.

37:28.920 --> 37:29.760
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to see anymore.

37:29.800 --> 37:30.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Those Naya promos.

37:31.320 --> 37:32.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, listen.

37:32.921 --> 37:33.481
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm done.

37:34.661 --> 37:35.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Doug and stand up.

37:36.002 --> 37:36.822
[SPEAKER_00]: Comedy on.

37:38.962 --> 37:41.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And a worksheet way was annoying on SmackDown.

37:41.743 --> 37:42.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

37:42.343 --> 37:43.443
[SPEAKER_00]: I shade can't wrestle.

37:43.484 --> 37:45.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, whoa, Naya.

37:45.484 --> 37:48.645
[SPEAKER_00]: And listen, you've improved a lot, but you are one to talk.

37:49.343 --> 37:53.965
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's one person, she could switch wrestling ability with it would be me.

37:56.286 --> 38:05.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, which version, sis, because it can't be the first version of yourself because girl, I don't think it can be any version of her time.

38:05.189 --> 38:06.550
[SPEAKER_01]: She didn't prove.

38:06.770 --> 38:08.130
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, anyone?

38:10.793 --> 38:13.453
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, man.

38:13.554 --> 38:15.914
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I just wanted the hook.

38:16.354 --> 38:19.975
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted triple H to come out there and say, okay, no, no, enough of this.

38:20.395 --> 38:25.236
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's put up the graphic of Jade posing for three minutes and then we'll go back to our regular schedule program.

38:26.176 --> 38:28.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, so I forgot about that.

38:28.576 --> 38:37.718
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I mean, if that's the case, then maybe Ria's just gonna maybe they'll have some sort of a multi-person natural title shot and she wins that.

38:37.778 --> 38:39.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, she's gotta get a big win.

38:39.638 --> 38:43.760
[SPEAKER_01]: on that show, you know, I, you know, they're built in the show around her, I think.

38:44.340 --> 38:50.263
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, okay, so if that's the case, then yeah, maybe she will keep the title till like, we're a rumble at least, that'd be nice.

38:50.863 --> 38:58.086
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would love to say it if I had a guess, heading into Perth potentially, I do probably see Rhea and E.O.

38:58.126 --> 39:03.468
[SPEAKER_00]: versus a Capucu warriors, they've been teasing that too, so I'm all kind of for that as well.

39:04.088 --> 39:05.649
[SPEAKER_00]: So I am for that.

39:05.909 --> 39:06.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me that.

39:06.609 --> 39:07.430
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready to go there.

39:08.169 --> 39:24.042
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Fernando notes Stephanie should be rea and have a long reign if they get to that match I think there's a lot of money there because anytime they go face to face the crowd pops that will be a very hot match and then Maria chimes in to say Stephanie is going to outclass Tiffany Stratton.

39:24.765 --> 39:28.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I, I'd say that's a, that's a safe bet.

39:30.431 --> 39:36.938
[SPEAKER_01]: She, I, I, I was just going to, it was like, oh, I'm like, I'm just, you talk about Ria.

39:36.958 --> 39:38.360
[SPEAKER_01]: You talk about Tiffany.

39:38.380 --> 39:41.403
[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't wait for Stephanie Bianca.

39:42.264 --> 39:42.684
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.

39:42.804 --> 39:43.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.

39:44.226 --> 39:44.546
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

39:46.618 --> 39:49.060
[SPEAKER_00]: And also I need like Bianca and Rhea.

39:49.140 --> 39:51.462
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been denying me for the last four years.

39:52.162 --> 39:53.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop playing in my face.

39:54.604 --> 39:57.326
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm praying for Bianca's fingers every day that they heal up.

39:57.387 --> 39:59.989
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the longest and surely low, which is ever had.

40:00.009 --> 40:02.390
[SPEAKER_00]: And it hurts me so bad because

40:03.643 --> 40:05.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, those fingers got demolished.

40:05.265 --> 40:07.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Shoulder us a mania and occupation of therapy is no joke.

40:08.188 --> 40:12.512
[SPEAKER_01]: So her fingers can't be worse than mocks is where after Darby slammed the coffin on it.

40:12.993 --> 40:14.975
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's worse.

40:14.995 --> 40:22.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul, like if you saw the pictures like three months later, her finger her middle finger was still bent.

40:22.963 --> 40:26.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you see, I obviously I was joking, but yeah, that is bad.

40:26.625 --> 40:27.806
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's just like fingers.

40:27.866 --> 40:29.427
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you know, maybe a month.

40:29.947 --> 40:32.049
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I thought the same thing.

40:32.069 --> 40:32.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:32.869 --> 40:35.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so hopefully she's back soon.

40:35.331 --> 40:37.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Roya Rumble seems like a good time.

40:37.912 --> 40:41.274
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and then, you know, and then Rhea could win the rumble, then we can get our Rhea be on the match.

40:41.354 --> 40:45.997
[SPEAKER_01]: So we can do Stephanie and Bianca at Roya Rumble, and then we can do Rhea be on Katmini.

40:46.547 --> 40:52.229
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then we can pay off the story that's still hanging in the air to that rea has never been EO either.

40:52.269 --> 40:53.530
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a lot of stories.

40:53.630 --> 40:54.150
[SPEAKER_00]: Pay off.

40:54.851 --> 40:55.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

40:56.031 --> 40:56.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:56.311 --> 40:58.292
[SPEAKER_00]: That really means something heading into the world.

40:58.312 --> 40:59.272
[SPEAKER_00]: You're rumbling, of course.

40:59.773 --> 41:04.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Nextures WrestleMania back in Las Vegas to run it back one more time.

41:05.355 --> 41:07.576
[SPEAKER_00]: So so I'm about to call you Scott.

41:07.816 --> 41:10.137
[SPEAKER_00]: I know because of the ratings.

41:10.517 --> 41:11.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know.

41:11.317 --> 41:12.038
[SPEAKER_01]: In honor of him.

41:13.618 --> 41:20.420
[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to go four and a half bouncy bounces for for this one.

41:21.400 --> 41:22.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Booker team.

41:23.501 --> 41:24.241
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's Wade.

41:25.002 --> 41:28.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, listen, he's trying to clean it up versus the grunting.

41:28.443 --> 41:32.224
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, the bouncy bounces is very nice.

41:32.244 --> 41:33.704
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go four and a half spinal tap.

41:33.724 --> 41:36.885
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to be a little bit more classier for the bouncy bounces.

41:36.945 --> 41:37.365
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're

41:39.946 --> 41:43.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to go four and three quarters, but I don't know.

41:43.130 --> 41:45.333
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe another five minutes, and we could have got there.

41:45.413 --> 41:47.115
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think so too.

41:47.315 --> 41:54.284
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the, I think the end of Kane kind of suddenly is well, and then a crowd, as I said, they were into it, but I thought they were expecting a run in, and I think they kind of...

41:54.803 --> 42:11.941
[SPEAKER_00]: new to their reaction a little bit, but they were there for the finish for sure, but great match, great finish congratulations to new women's world champions, Stephanie Vicarre, as we get to our semi main event of the evening and my humble opinion, the match that should have made of into this show.

42:12.602 --> 42:16.946
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the couples, the power couples, the married couples.

42:17.046 --> 42:28.397
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, the World Heavyweight Champion and the women's ice, the champion, respectively, come in down like a lift and they come down wearing our purple looking ridiculous.

42:29.197 --> 42:31.920
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if we go back in time from 2019 to now,

42:34.282 --> 42:36.624
[SPEAKER_00]: God, they work so much better together as he owes.

42:37.164 --> 42:40.286
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just so beautifully stupid together.

42:40.306 --> 42:41.848
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love that for me.

42:41.948 --> 42:43.769
[SPEAKER_00]: So goofy and so much fun.

42:43.789 --> 42:50.554
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we have the other power couple, CM Punk and AJ Lee, AJ's first match in a WWE ring in well over 10 years.

42:51.094 --> 42:57.316
[SPEAKER_00]: And this match was straight out of the WWE 1980s playbook in terms of tag to your matches.

42:57.616 --> 42:59.076
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have the babyface in peril.

42:59.096 --> 43:04.217
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have you wait and wait and wait for the person you wanted the match to come in and they did that with AJ Lee.

43:04.498 --> 43:06.638
[SPEAKER_00]: She gets in there and yes, she's a little rusty.

43:06.958 --> 43:09.619
[SPEAKER_00]: The punches were not great, but overall,

43:10.359 --> 43:12.439
[SPEAKER_00]: being out of action for 10 years.

43:12.580 --> 43:19.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought she did a very good job shut out to Becky and Seth especially for being there for every spot.

43:19.681 --> 43:24.082
[SPEAKER_00]: There are some really cool tandem spots with all four people in this match.

43:24.422 --> 43:29.103
[SPEAKER_00]: The couples bought out AJ took some crazy bumps down the stretch as well.

43:29.683 --> 43:32.024
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, I really enjoyed the match and AJ.

43:33.004 --> 43:43.482
[SPEAKER_00]: is going to land that black widow on Becky Lynch and make her tap out and I know that's the most likely setting up a match between the two for the icy title, possibly maybe at Crown Jewel.

43:47.245 --> 43:58.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I will say that, I probably, when we get to the ratings, I think we may end up disagreeing on this one because I, I probably liked it more than most.

43:59.253 --> 44:03.856
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's some personal stuff here that it added to my enjoyment.

44:04.837 --> 44:09.279
[SPEAKER_01]: But I will say like, I agree like AJ looked phenomenal.

44:10.280 --> 44:13.662
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, in ring wrestling was, I mean,

44:15.003 --> 44:18.786
[SPEAKER_01]: when she was there, it wasn't at the level that it is now.

44:19.306 --> 44:33.357
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think like in terms of like, you know, we're not getting like eels sky or Stephanie Vicarre Bianca like we're not getting that, but she's definitely at the very least at the same level she was at before and probably with the added, um,

44:33.877 --> 44:42.603
[SPEAKER_01]: you know years and you know watching and studying wrestling and probably training and you know talking to her husband and everything like the psychology is going to be better.

44:43.124 --> 44:49.508
[SPEAKER_01]: So she's going to be able to have matches that are going to be better than people with the same athletic ability that she has.

44:49.588 --> 44:51.049
[SPEAKER_01]: So she's got that going for.

44:51.069 --> 44:55.832
[SPEAKER_01]: I see like probably like a you know again

45:01.455 --> 45:05.058
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the intercontinental title and and I, you know, I even have been thinking even further.

45:05.098 --> 45:10.022
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see a Nikki Bella heel turn and AJ and Nikki would be natural rivals.

45:10.082 --> 45:11.744
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, um, I, yeah.

45:11.864 --> 45:13.805
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this match quite a bit.

45:13.865 --> 45:14.286
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's.

45:15.537 --> 45:32.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the best mixed tag I've seen like maybe ever like they're usually not very good, you know, the ones that's kind of stick out like were, you know, Becky and Seth had some in, you know, 2019, 2021, you know, they had a like a forgotten one in like 2021 with like,

45:39.677 --> 46:03.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but, um, you know, and then Kurt Angle and Stephanie, or Kurt Angle and Rondig and Stephanie Triple H is probably like the gold standard of mixed tags, um, and this, I think was very different match, obviously, but for for my personal, you know, uh, preferences, I, I like this one more, right, like said, I really, really enjoyed this, like, like, I see that it went like 29 minutes.

46:04.186 --> 46:05.307
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't feel that long.

46:05.767 --> 46:07.108
[SPEAKER_01]: But it did feel a little long.

46:07.228 --> 46:15.012
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have guessed like maybe 20 to 25, 29 is like, in a way that's too long, but then in another way, it's like it didn't feel like it was 29 minutes.

46:15.532 --> 46:17.293
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I kind of like that.

46:18.900 --> 46:39.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I definitely agree with Rhea says it matches very mid for me and then she asked it was definitely the best energy into match ever so yeah it went for me to great as it didn't to match at well what what she's saying is that in a general manner in a general manner suck it's like the it's like a couple weeks ago when they had a blindfold match and I see yeah about sucked

46:40.365 --> 46:45.051
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was also the best blindfold match ever saw, you know, so it's kind of like this.

46:45.612 --> 46:54.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree, like their blindfold match definitely exceeded every ounce of expectations that I had, which were none.

46:54.063 --> 46:57.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've got like a star and a half as opposed to negative three.

46:58.729 --> 47:11.161
[SPEAKER_00]: So like we're definitely training in the right direction and this match I will say like the ghost standard as you say it is still Kurt and Montenegro's Triple A and Stephanie add WrestleMania New Orleans back in 2018.

47:11.201 --> 47:11.942
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a lot of fun

47:13.764 --> 47:18.906
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a blast to you and I just really enjoyed everything that they did.

47:18.926 --> 47:25.248
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ, of course, is going to improve over time in terms of getting that rhythm back.

47:25.688 --> 47:32.611
[SPEAKER_00]: But for what she was able to do, she was tremendous and I really enjoyed it and she was fabulous and she looked great as always.

47:33.191 --> 47:35.552
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sam Punk, you know, come on.

47:36.292 --> 47:44.800
[SPEAKER_00]: husband of the year supportive, they are for his woman, and he's just basking in her light.

47:45.240 --> 47:46.321
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love that for him.

47:46.361 --> 47:50.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if you want to see love, that man loves his woman down, 100%.

47:53.867 --> 47:54.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, no.

47:55.248 --> 47:55.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Very happy.

47:55.828 --> 47:58.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I just think I'm happy for AJ.

47:58.270 --> 48:02.774
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure this was hard for her, you know, mentally physically.

48:02.794 --> 48:08.558
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, so for her to be able to get over that hill, have a match that was received very well.

48:09.619 --> 48:13.281
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think good all around and obviously Seth and.

48:15.023 --> 48:32.501
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's some real heat there, you know, like real life behind the scenes heat, you know, that I, I know at one point was there, I don't know if it's still there, obviously, but they worked together and they worked well together and there was some spots that they clearly had worked out ahead of time, like they must have had to practice them because the timing was.

48:33.222 --> 48:54.876
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, kind of incredible on a couple like there's one I can't remember there's this one spot that they did where it was like one set of finishers like directly into another one and it went over so they had to have practiced that and you know if they're working that well together then that's a good sign you know that maybe though that legitimate backstage heat is is simmered if not gone.

48:55.841 --> 48:57.001
[SPEAKER_00]: their best friends do.

48:57.061 --> 48:59.482
[SPEAKER_00]: They went out for dinner after the show was over.

48:59.982 --> 49:02.223
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to each other's vacation homes.

49:02.963 --> 49:05.623
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's, it's a big, kumbaya party.

49:05.683 --> 49:07.604
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can see the trust and how much fun they had.

49:07.984 --> 49:13.505
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite spot of the match was when age a kid turns off off of Seth and to a DDT on.

49:14.025 --> 49:15.726
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the one I'm talking about.

49:15.766 --> 49:15.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

49:15.966 --> 49:16.886
[SPEAKER_00]: That one was pretty cool.

49:16.986 --> 49:19.867
[SPEAKER_00]: And the slice bread to, yes, is that was clean too.

49:19.947 --> 49:20.847
[SPEAKER_00]: Clean clean clean.

49:20.927 --> 49:21.407
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

49:21.707 --> 49:38.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so yeah, just yeah, hats off to everybody involved, you know, I mean, you know, at the root like these are really they're just two singles matches, you know, but but they worked the hot tags really well, you know, Becky did the standard pulling the legs out as they're about to make the tag and then.

49:39.242 --> 49:54.950
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, in the rain like trying to drag fill, so we couldn't make the tag and yeah, so that you know, a lot of really good stuff and yeah, I a lot of fun and you know, now we can move on to, you know, probably singles matches between the two, which you know is the next logical step.

49:55.937 --> 49:56.777
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, for sure.

49:56.898 --> 49:59.179
[SPEAKER_00]: Singles matches, let's get to it.

49:59.619 --> 50:02.200
[SPEAKER_00]: And Maria does say, yes, he's matches that you're usually bad.

50:02.280 --> 50:04.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, historically, they're usually no good.

50:04.942 --> 50:07.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And you do find a few diamonds in the rough every now and then.

50:07.823 --> 50:12.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And in this, you know, century of mixed tag matches have improved greatly.

50:12.546 --> 50:14.667
[SPEAKER_00]: The quality has improved tremendously.

50:14.707 --> 50:16.628
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought this match was very good.

50:16.668 --> 50:22.511
[SPEAKER_00]: So the very good story, so Paul, on a scale of one to five

50:25.995 --> 50:37.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, I think I'm probably a little bit hard and you, so I'm gonna go for skip delus, skip delus, skip delus, yeah.

50:38.102 --> 50:40.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about sets in a billion's to skip.

50:41.424 --> 50:45.367
[SPEAKER_00]: So funny, I was like, what are you doing?

50:46.087 --> 50:48.589
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew what he was doing, just didn't do it very well.

50:49.469 --> 50:51.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, like, what are we doing here?

50:51.912 --> 50:54.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Very, very, very, very odd.

50:55.114 --> 50:58.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Just during the absolute most for he, I love Seth.

50:58.457 --> 50:59.018
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best.

50:59.158 --> 51:01.880
[SPEAKER_00]: And the way you so black the black widow like dude.

51:02.441 --> 51:02.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

51:04.122 --> 51:04.703
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Seth.

51:05.003 --> 51:06.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we don't give him an updo.

51:06.624 --> 51:07.445
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, he's great.

51:07.965 --> 51:11.949
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's the glue that keeps this, this brand together, really.

51:12.390 --> 51:18.335
[SPEAKER_00]: He really is and what I love about him is that he's a great wrestler and he's not afraid to look stupid.

51:19.015 --> 51:26.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only in his outfits, but when it's time to sell and do things for the right things and reasons, he's always there and it makes sense every time.

51:26.401 --> 51:28.903
[SPEAKER_00]: So he will always have my respect for that.

51:28.923 --> 51:33.307
[SPEAKER_00]: So really fun match with the four, congrats to AJ coming back and killing it.

51:33.747 --> 51:37.710
[SPEAKER_00]: And hopefully she continues to just knock off that rest, get him more comfortable left

51:41.613 --> 51:42.614
[SPEAKER_00]: a record was broken.

51:42.634 --> 51:44.275
[SPEAKER_00]: This was her longest match.

51:44.295 --> 51:46.756
[SPEAKER_00]: She had a competed in in WWE.

51:47.136 --> 51:51.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Like seriously, like we're we have to remember what eras she came from.

51:51.799 --> 51:55.561
[SPEAKER_00]: So two minute back to break matches to the longest match for career.

51:56.465 --> 51:57.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

51:57.225 --> 52:01.128
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's probably like months that went by where she didn't wrestle this long.

52:01.508 --> 52:01.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

52:02.428 --> 52:02.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

52:03.109 --> 52:05.010
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely an achievement there for sure.

52:05.530 --> 52:09.192
[SPEAKER_00]: And as Fernando notes set, is definitely the MVP of WWE.

52:09.712 --> 52:12.394
[SPEAKER_00]: I would put them in that conversation for sure.

52:12.454 --> 52:20.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say Cody as the primary MVP set is right there in terms of doing good business on a consistent basis.

52:21.079 --> 52:22.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's get to it.

52:22.379 --> 52:22.960
[SPEAKER_00]: What was your rating?

52:23.480 --> 52:25.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my rating for black widows.

52:25.922 --> 52:26.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow.

52:26.242 --> 52:26.482
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

52:26.502 --> 52:27.063
[SPEAKER_01]: So we had the same.

52:27.103 --> 52:27.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

52:27.483 --> 52:27.783
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

52:27.844 --> 52:29.165
[SPEAKER_01]: I figured you were going to go like three and a half.

52:29.205 --> 52:30.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.

52:30.125 --> 52:30.906
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we're all together.

52:31.346 --> 52:31.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

52:31.647 --> 52:33.288
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're still in sync.

52:33.948 --> 52:35.690
[SPEAKER_00]: That might change with the main event.

52:35.770 --> 52:38.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we might diverge off the path at the end of this.

52:39.112 --> 52:40.473
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll get to that in a moment.

52:40.954 --> 52:44.917
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's get to the thing that happened before the main event.

52:45.637 --> 52:48.159
[SPEAKER_00]: That was out of the clear blue sky on the Saturday night.

52:48.820 --> 52:51.522
[SPEAKER_00]: So the undertaker comes out there on his motorcycle bike.

52:52.932 --> 52:59.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so a surprise as Paula Vectis, a surprise on this night, and Stephanie McMahon is sitting in the crowd.

53:01.815 --> 53:04.616
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know something is up.

53:05.317 --> 53:07.958
[SPEAKER_00]: Something is up, something is suspicious.

53:08.818 --> 53:11.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie's birthday is in a few days of legitimate laid.

53:12.399 --> 53:14.280
[SPEAKER_00]: But on a takers like, hey, how you doing?

53:14.320 --> 53:14.980
[SPEAKER_00]: How's it going?

53:15.000 --> 53:17.221
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm just out here talking to you.

53:17.241 --> 53:20.182
[SPEAKER_00]: It is, you know, congratulations on everything.

53:23.382 --> 53:28.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Cracking low jokes here and there, you know, I just got two words for you, you know what?

53:28.607 --> 53:35.293
[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna be the first inductee into the 2026, WWE Hall of Fame.

53:35.994 --> 53:42.080
[SPEAKER_00]: They broke a record for the fastest, earliest announcement of a Hall of Fame induction ever.

53:42.741 --> 53:46.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie was legitimately shocked, this was not like bad acting.

53:47.027 --> 53:56.701
[SPEAKER_00]: She did not see this coming and I thought it was a really sweet moment because we know that Stephanie and take are really close and like she was really floored by this because they

53:57.783 --> 54:06.195
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's be honest, they tried to pretend they shocked your plate when he was in documents of the Hall of Fame earlier this year at the headquarters.

54:06.676 --> 54:08.719
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a legitimate surprise.

54:09.440 --> 54:10.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie didn't know.

54:10.702 --> 54:11.904
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought her reaction was.

54:12.585 --> 54:19.488
[SPEAKER_00]: really really sweet and then we got the backstage of her and Paula Vek hugging and just sharing a moment that was really beautiful as well.

54:19.868 --> 54:27.692
[SPEAKER_00]: So congratulations Stephanie McMahon, headlining the class of 2026 at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

54:28.843 --> 54:29.903
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this was nice.

54:30.043 --> 54:36.286
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, take it comes out and it is funny because the kept, like, I don't know why it's coming out.

54:36.386 --> 54:39.807
[SPEAKER_01]: I assumed, I assumed it was coming out to read the attendance.

54:40.227 --> 54:41.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's my first thought.

54:41.428 --> 54:43.448
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't know that tripply to promise to surprise.

54:43.488 --> 54:44.909
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't, I didn't realize that.

54:44.989 --> 54:48.770
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he comes out and all of us in room are like, what's going on?

54:48.790 --> 54:50.471
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they kept showing Stephanie.

54:50.891 --> 54:54.172
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's standing there just clapping and we're like, okay, like, we get it.

54:54.272 --> 54:54.733
[SPEAKER_01]: She's there.

54:54.753 --> 55:00.955
[SPEAKER_01]: She's on Nick con beside her and and and you know, and then he wasn't beside her because I think he didn't want to be in camera.

55:01.616 --> 55:07.538
[SPEAKER_01]: And and then, you know, and then he comes down and yeah, he sits down beside her and it's like, okay, what's going on here.

55:08.138 --> 55:11.380
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, and literally right before he said it,

55:12.192 --> 55:14.194
[SPEAKER_01]: We're like, is he going to put her in the hall of fame?

55:14.574 --> 55:16.976
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's literally like the thought came to our head.

55:16.996 --> 55:20.539
[SPEAKER_01]: I think one of us even mentioned it and then was literally immediately.

55:21.020 --> 55:34.251
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, and then her reaction, you could tell, you know, unless she's a great actor, so I really don't think she is, it was very, very, you know, heartfelt reaction.

55:34.291 --> 55:35.652
[SPEAKER_01]: She was legit surprised.

55:36.553 --> 55:51.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Well deserved, I will say, you know, based strictly on her in front of the camera work, when you include the backstage and, you know, everything she does behind the scenes and all the works she's put in is, you know, former CEO and all the different roles she's had.

55:51.427 --> 55:59.414
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, no brain or obviously, but even just as an on camera person, you know, she was a key figure in the attitude era and the post attitude era.

56:00.255 --> 56:07.299
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, General Manager on SmackDown, um, you know, just very memorable always did a great job in her roles.

56:07.979 --> 56:13.343
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, obviously there's times when she got annoying and people thought she buried the division that times.

56:14.143 --> 56:17.325
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but a lot of that like the stuff she got playing for wasn't even hurt.

56:17.925 --> 56:21.687
[SPEAKER_01]: like it was, you know, decisions that were made above her and she was just playing her role.

56:22.307 --> 56:31.851
[SPEAKER_01]: So some of it, you know, obviously was her, but, you know, like overall, I think generally a positive character on television over the last, almost 30 years.

56:33.151 --> 56:35.552
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, so well deserved looking forward to seeing her.

56:36.072 --> 56:39.614
[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully, you know, maybe they put her brother in at the same time.

56:41.971 --> 56:47.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen declin is on the top line saying listen put my daddy and the hall of fame to as a listen.

56:47.856 --> 56:49.837
[SPEAKER_00]: We got we listen now listen.

56:49.897 --> 56:50.598
[SPEAKER_00]: I love shame

56:52.216 --> 56:52.576
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.

56:52.596 --> 56:53.497
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.

56:53.517 --> 56:56.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I love both big man siblings.

56:56.480 --> 56:57.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I do for different reasons.

56:58.521 --> 57:03.366
[SPEAKER_00]: I grew up watching Stephanie during the attitude era and I loved her character.

57:03.426 --> 57:09.291
[SPEAKER_00]: She got on my freaking nerves as a part of the McManhams the era, but that was my era and I love them.

57:09.431 --> 57:10.232
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved her.

57:11.272 --> 57:15.016
[SPEAKER_00]: When she was a SmackDown GM, I loved it when she took a break and came back.

57:15.496 --> 57:19.961
[SPEAKER_00]: and she was her husband, you know, the authority like, yeah, it was creating at times.

57:20.001 --> 57:24.206
[SPEAKER_00]: She was a tremendous character and she did a great job in that role.

57:24.266 --> 57:31.134
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, her behind the scenes roles as president of the company at one point, being a part of the creative team.

57:31.154 --> 57:34.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was a lot of hits and misses here and there for sure.

57:34.798 --> 57:52.503
[SPEAKER_00]: But she will always have my infinite respect and I know that at some point when the time is right there will be a story for to tell the full story and when that time comes I'll be locked in some very happy for her this induction is deserved and I'm just

57:53.383 --> 57:54.624
[SPEAKER_00]: I was very touched by the moment.

57:54.644 --> 58:02.549
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a rare moment in WWE that felt very sincere and real and it was a nice moment for short.

58:03.049 --> 58:12.134
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I spoke this person up earlier because I figured he was going to show up at some point.

58:12.375 --> 58:14.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott decided to come in.

58:15.666 --> 58:21.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And he wanted to add a person in the conversation for MVP.

58:23.032 --> 58:29.337
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says there is no MVP conversation without the great Tonga Loa and the mix.

58:30.278 --> 58:33.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to revoke Scott's chatting privileges for the rest of the night.

58:34.362 --> 58:36.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonga Loa is the MVP of nothing.

58:37.584 --> 58:39.686
[SPEAKER_01]: Put user in time.

58:43.513 --> 58:48.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, and then wrestling lowdown comes through saying I got choked up when taker did that with her.

58:49.035 --> 59:05.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I did to you I want I wanted him to I my first thought was he was gonna look at her grab them like to say We're too Stephanie But yeah, we didn't get that, but it's like out to go from that You know what the cross and and that he brought up and then the kid down finger.

59:05.499 --> 59:07.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that was a night

59:07.860 --> 59:09.181
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that was the night Owen died.

59:09.561 --> 59:12.502
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not positive, but I know like that whole time frame is fuzzy.

59:13.563 --> 59:19.666
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was like, yeah, that where he was took off with her in the limo and kidnapped her and then Austin had to save her.

59:19.686 --> 59:22.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was all pretty memorable.

59:22.607 --> 59:25.709
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, yeah, and then turning on a triple it, turning on Vince.

59:26.669 --> 59:35.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and yeah, all that, all that stuff, the feud was stable, uh, the feud with Tristratus, like, yeah, lots of lots of great stuff.

59:35.178 --> 59:37.540
[SPEAKER_01]: She had that WWE title for a long time too.

59:37.560 --> 59:38.802
[SPEAKER_01]: She sure did.

59:38.822 --> 59:41.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they got lead over when lead a beta for the title.

59:42.125 --> 59:43.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Monday and I raw.

59:44.456 --> 59:46.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, fun times indeed wrestling lowdown.

59:46.878 --> 59:54.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so no, it's been take her putting her on the cross for a wedding from hell, a sacrament ceremony that was going to go horribly wrong.

59:55.026 --> 59:56.267
[SPEAKER_00]: Look how far they've come.

59:56.928 --> 01:00:03.073
[SPEAKER_01]: That, that, you know, that match that she had with Trish and the moment where Linda got up.

01:00:03.414 --> 01:00:05.395
[SPEAKER_01]: But that is one of the biggest pops.

01:00:06.196 --> 01:00:07.638
[SPEAKER_01]: in WrestleMania history.

01:00:07.898 --> 01:00:09.280
[SPEAKER_01]: And she was part of that.

01:00:09.581 --> 01:00:12.364
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Stephanie, you know, like it doesn't happen without Stephanie.

01:00:12.885 --> 01:00:16.310
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, everybody played their roles, but she played it perfectly.

01:00:17.271 --> 01:00:17.491
[SPEAKER_00]: She did.

01:00:17.511 --> 01:00:17.791
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she...

01:00:20.854 --> 01:00:23.677
[SPEAKER_00]: had her moments undoubtedly so her interest.

01:00:23.757 --> 01:00:25.238
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that match wasn't perfect.

01:00:25.518 --> 01:00:30.462
[SPEAKER_00]: But I tell you what for what it was at the time for their experience level was a heated match.

01:00:30.883 --> 01:00:31.824
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was great.

01:00:32.004 --> 01:00:33.105
[SPEAKER_00]: It had great heat.

01:00:33.385 --> 01:00:34.526
[SPEAKER_00]: The intensity was there.

01:00:34.546 --> 01:00:39.250
[SPEAKER_00]: The rest of the main is you said when the greatest pops ever, when Linda got up from that chair.

01:00:39.671 --> 01:00:41.272
[SPEAKER_00]: And she kicked that man in the nuts.

01:00:41.452 --> 01:00:42.253
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a beautiful

01:00:42.693 --> 01:00:45.775
[SPEAKER_00]: WrestleMania moment in Stephanie, as you said, let's part of it.

01:00:45.815 --> 01:00:47.776
[SPEAKER_00]: She was right there in the mix.

01:00:47.796 --> 01:00:49.777
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been a part of a lot of incredible moments.

01:00:50.097 --> 01:00:51.718
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about her in Ronda Rauzi.

01:00:52.118 --> 01:00:54.819
[SPEAKER_00]: She got that lady over in a big way at WrestleMania.

01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:56.901
[SPEAKER_00]: And she bought out like Stephanie.

01:00:57.521 --> 01:01:02.063
[SPEAKER_00]: She has been a part of some really, really cool moments in WWE history.

01:01:02.704 --> 01:01:06.085
[SPEAKER_00]: And when it's time to sell her ass off, she does just that.

01:01:06.646 --> 01:01:07.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Ask Randy Orton.

01:01:09.775 --> 01:01:10.395
[SPEAKER_00]: R.K.L.

01:01:10.495 --> 01:01:15.017
[SPEAKER_00]: who can forget that and what happened in that moment, heat-seeking moment.

01:01:15.617 --> 01:01:21.440
[SPEAKER_01]: People cared because, look what happened, that triple-age Roman match that was dying a death.

01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:22.240
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.941
[SPEAKER_01]: He took the bump through the table and everybody woke up.

01:01:25.341 --> 01:01:25.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

01:01:26.102 --> 01:01:26.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:01:26.302 --> 01:01:26.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know.

01:01:27.182 --> 01:01:32.664
[SPEAKER_00]: The power of Stephanie McMahon should not be underestimated, because she elevates things every single time.

01:01:33.285 --> 01:01:35.926
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the wrestling load-down asks another good question.

01:01:35.966 --> 01:01:37.847
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoa, that is a good question.

01:01:40.365 --> 01:01:44.828
[SPEAKER_01]: I, the natural thing is is Paul, but I don't think it'll be him.

01:01:44.868 --> 01:01:46.369
[SPEAKER_01]: So I probably under take her.

01:01:47.770 --> 01:01:49.491
[SPEAKER_01]: Possibly possibly.

01:01:49.511 --> 01:01:52.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or or her brother.

01:01:52.253 --> 01:01:56.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's say both going in.

01:01:56.976 --> 01:01:57.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:01:58.557 --> 01:02:01.539
[SPEAKER_01]: Or unless there's some hard feelings that one of it and getting inducted.

01:02:02.506 --> 01:02:06.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, decling went on the timeline so that his dad deserve to get inductance.

01:02:06.128 --> 01:02:26.658
[SPEAKER_00]: It is some family beef and then When they go into and what they oh No hell no like they I wouldn't say how no because it's WW I don't want them to up there honestly you could do Trish you could do Trish you could do Trish.

01:02:26.998 --> 01:02:28.018
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do Trish.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah Absolutely you could absolutely

[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.

01:02:38.419 --> 01:02:39.339
[SPEAKER_00]: That's perfectly fine.

01:02:40.160 --> 01:02:46.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Naomi, she's going to be there and if she gives birth after ceremony, we have to have pamper's on standby.

01:02:46.462 --> 01:02:50.043
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, put her in Hall of Fame, she gives birth to the birth of the ceremony.

01:02:51.684 --> 01:03:15.600

[SPEAKER_01]: Say what you want about it.

01:03:17.021 --> 01:03:29.111
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the resting observer hall of fame and you know it a lot of times is that the whim of the people that run the company, but it is a big deal to the people involved and to the people in that company and people that have worked for that company.

01:03:29.612 --> 01:03:31.854
[SPEAKER_01]: It is looked at as the hall of fame.

01:03:32.634 --> 01:03:36.798
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know you are going to have a lot of people that want to be there to see it.

01:03:37.854 --> 01:03:40.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and they'll find a way to do it for sure.

01:03:40.415 --> 01:03:41.675
[SPEAKER_00]: So congratulations to her.

01:03:42.135 --> 01:03:55.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Very nice moment of wrestle polusa as we get to now our main event of the show, which was Cody Rhodes or Undisputed WWE Champion versus the Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre and Listen, I love Cody.

01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:56.779
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Drew.

01:03:56.799 --> 01:03:58.840
[SPEAKER_00]: I love both men respectfully.

01:03:59.340 --> 01:04:00.520
[SPEAKER_00]: This match is very good.

01:04:00.640 --> 01:04:06.722
[SPEAKER_00]: This could have been a main event on a Friday night SmackDown, any random PLI on a Saturday night perfectly fine.

01:04:07.787 --> 01:04:16.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Before you're first, for a on ESPN, we needed something a bit bigger than this match.

01:04:17.310 --> 01:04:18.291
[SPEAKER_00]: It was well wrestled.

01:04:19.051 --> 01:04:20.991
[SPEAKER_00]: We asked some decent near falls in the mix.

01:04:21.572 --> 01:04:36.977
[SPEAKER_00]: Then Drew goes for broke, sabotages himself, kicks the announced table desk, basically scoops himself over, Cody takes advantage, super Cody cutter, cross rows one, two, three,

01:04:37.909 --> 01:04:38.369
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

01:04:38.950 --> 01:04:45.095
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you think to yourself, okay, we get the little graphic of executive producers, Lee fitting Paula Beck.

01:04:45.616 --> 01:04:47.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, must be a surprise, right?

01:04:47.257 --> 01:04:47.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.

01:04:47.517 --> 01:04:50.860
[SPEAKER_00]: We go right off the air into the WWE post show.

01:04:51.441 --> 01:04:52.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely choices there.

01:04:52.401 --> 01:04:57.426
[SPEAKER_00]: I did read earlier today that some fans might have wanted to see a title switch, just a causal shock.

01:04:58.006 --> 01:05:04.534
[SPEAKER_00]: little odd, just to get your little surprise, like, oh, anything can happen at a PLE on ESPN, that did not happen.

01:05:04.594 --> 01:05:07.198
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was a very average way to end the show.

01:05:07.758 --> 01:05:10.161
[SPEAKER_00]: And at that moment, I thought to myself, well, you know what?

01:05:10.682 --> 01:05:15.428
[SPEAKER_00]: As I said from Jump Street, the mixed hack to match good of main event at the show.

01:05:15.888 --> 01:05:16.830
[SPEAKER_00]: And we would have been good.

01:05:19.160 --> 01:05:23.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, again, yeah, I agree with everything you said.

01:05:24.084 --> 01:05:25.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Very, very good match.

01:05:26.006 --> 01:05:33.913
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and there's a time when this could have, you know, could have easily been, you know, a very good paper-view main event.

01:05:34.033 --> 01:05:36.996
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, the standards have changed.

01:05:37.897 --> 01:05:40.239
[SPEAKER_01]: We had pretty big competition on the day.

01:05:40.259 --> 01:05:42.481
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the ESPN debut,

01:05:43.201 --> 01:05:56.291
[SPEAKER_01]: You kind of expect to see your best foot forward and, you know, both these guys are capable of much better and, you know, and they only got like just, you know, 16, you know, just under 17 minutes.

01:05:56.571 --> 01:05:58.073
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the second shortest match on the show.

01:05:58.793 --> 01:06:03.737
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, for the two guys in the main event, like I almost wonder, like, did they get time cut?

01:06:04.298 --> 01:06:08.541
[SPEAKER_01]: Did, you know, like, maybe because that mixed tag went so long, did, you know, did they lose some time?

01:06:08.601 --> 01:06:09.042
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

01:06:10.543 --> 01:06:14.446
[SPEAKER_01]: There were people in our room that were wondering if Jews, injury was legit.

01:06:14.686 --> 01:06:17.068
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it was, I think it was, he's just a really good seller.

01:06:17.589 --> 01:06:21.312
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, if that's the case and they had to go home early, I guess we'll probably find out.

01:06:21.892 --> 01:06:23.434
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that's the case.

01:06:23.494 --> 01:06:26.216
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just bringing it up because someone thought, you know, mentioned it.

01:06:27.677 --> 01:06:30.820
[SPEAKER_01]: I, um, yeah, I, again, I, I liked it much.

01:06:31.281 --> 01:06:35.084
[SPEAKER_01]: I was expecting a little bit more, um, you know, I expected Cody to win.

01:06:35.144 --> 01:06:39.868
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, nothing wrong with the booking, um, and again, the finish was one crossroads.

01:06:40.289 --> 01:06:41.249
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I like that.

01:06:41.930 --> 01:06:52.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and you know, and sometimes depending on where you're going next, like it's more important to have that dominant win, you know, like we saw with Stephanie and EO, then to have, you know, a banger with back and forth finishers and

01:06:53.140 --> 01:07:07.671
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and you know, kicked out, you know, this, that, you know, and then Dave Meltson gives it five stars, you know, sometimes it match like this is more important, you know, to establish Cody as the guy, because I will say like he won the title, we didn't see him for a while.

01:07:08.311 --> 01:07:16.077
[SPEAKER_01]: There's times when I forget that he's a champion, like I think he needs to be established now, like he needs to go on a run where he defends the title a few times.

01:07:16.757 --> 01:07:27.652
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, and is the guy like he is the guy anyways, but is the champion because, you know, I was even going into sinking like Drew could win and like not much really changes like Cody still the guy.

01:07:28.713 --> 01:07:33.760
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, in that sense, maybe that tells me something about the title and and Cody needs to elevate that title again.

01:07:35.032 --> 01:07:36.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so too.

01:07:36.152 --> 01:07:43.534
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been off television for a bit, shooting treat fight, obviously, but even before then, it felt like, wow, he's kind of like a low key champion.

01:07:43.554 --> 01:07:57.737
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your second rain as WWE Champion after your first rain for being a champion for a while over a year, losing a Johnson at WrestleMania earlier this year, giving the championship back a few months later, it's time for Cody to be present.

01:07:58.237 --> 01:08:01.619
[SPEAKER_00]: as champion, but then again, I have to remember Paul where we are.

01:08:02.080 --> 01:08:05.422
[SPEAKER_00]: We are living in the smack down era ran by road dog.

01:08:05.722 --> 01:08:10.425
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're not going to get anything that's good or decent on that show for the foreseeable future.

01:08:10.805 --> 01:08:14.128
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're not going to see Cody actively do a lot on that show.

01:08:14.148 --> 01:08:15.869
[SPEAKER_00]: And his feed's going to be mid.

01:08:16.049 --> 01:08:18.911
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to say it, but it's true buckle up.

01:08:19.431 --> 01:08:20.372
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it is what it is

01:08:25.545 --> 01:08:30.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando says that Stephanie Vicarre and he Oscars should have been the main event.

01:08:30.807 --> 01:08:32.508
[SPEAKER_00]: I concur in a way as well.

01:08:32.528 --> 01:08:36.310
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that would have been better than this match in terms of a better finish.

01:08:36.450 --> 01:08:44.233
[SPEAKER_00]: I happy you're ending to some people home on a better note would have been better than this main event, which was perfectly fine, but it was giving a regular,

01:08:46.834 --> 01:08:48.215
[SPEAKER_00]: or for an ice-smacked up finish.

01:08:48.816 --> 01:08:51.417
[SPEAKER_00]: And Maria knows that she expected more from this match as well.

01:08:51.998 --> 01:08:55.680
[SPEAKER_00]: So did I, because I know both guys can deliver at a very high level.

01:08:55.700 --> 01:08:59.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't get a lot to do in terms of booting up this match.

01:08:59.843 --> 01:09:03.326
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a couple of things on SmackDown and that was it.

01:09:03.366 --> 01:09:07.929
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't a rivalry that had me like, oh my god, I have to see this match.

01:09:08.390 --> 01:09:12.352
[SPEAKER_00]: And it wasn't wrestled as such, unfortunately as well.

01:09:13.173 --> 01:09:17.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like it was, I mean, Drew like kind of took over the, like, started the match.

01:09:17.517 --> 01:09:18.998
[SPEAKER_01]: I think probably the first half of the match.

01:09:19.038 --> 01:09:20.500
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just like completely dominant.

01:09:20.900 --> 01:09:27.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody was like selling some sort of a knee injury or or a concussion, like wasn't even quite sure what he was selling, but it was something.

01:09:28.006 --> 01:09:33.111
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, so you kind of assumed, okay, there's only Jews winning because he's being way too dominant here.

01:09:33.471 --> 01:09:37.514
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they kind of went back and forth for the second half of the match and then like, so Cody won clean.

01:09:38.635 --> 01:09:52.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, I, I don't know if the, you know, the knee injury that that he was that drew was selling means where, you know, he's going to take some time off or, you know, what's next for Cody, there's no real obvious challenger, you know, unless it's Brock.

01:09:53.801 --> 01:10:02.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, and I already had my feelings on that, um, you know, maybe, maybe the vision, if he's part of the vision, maybe they want to spread across two brands.

01:10:02.746 --> 01:10:12.531
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, but, uh, you know, and I don't think Nick all this wants to rock on his brand, based on the way they react, they interact with each other on Saturday.

01:10:12.811 --> 01:10:17.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, maybe the first time when you have like two to GM's fighting to keep the guy off your brand,

01:10:18.934 --> 01:10:22.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like we don't want that neither one of them.

01:10:22.937 --> 01:10:24.058
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want this smoke.

01:10:24.218 --> 01:10:24.958
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want this smoke.

01:10:25.418 --> 01:10:26.259
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we're good.

01:10:26.279 --> 01:10:30.842
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, actively saying, you know what I do not want this problem.

01:10:31.402 --> 01:10:35.025
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when you mentioned about the possibilities of who Cody's next opponent could be.

01:10:35.045 --> 01:10:38.927
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, we already saw him be Brock a couple years ago.

01:10:39.388 --> 01:10:45.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, I mean, I was looking at Brock's history and I think like Brock is two and one against him in their last three.

01:10:45.331 --> 01:10:47.273
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe Cody wants his win back.

01:10:47.293 --> 01:10:47.593
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

01:10:48.113 --> 01:10:49.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we can just skip it.

01:10:49.956 --> 01:10:51.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's pause it.

01:10:51.559 --> 01:10:53.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's keep redacted and Saskatchewan.

01:10:53.682 --> 01:10:53.923
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

01:10:54.263 --> 01:10:56.086
[SPEAKER_01]: There we're giving the watches kids play hockey.

01:10:56.227 --> 01:10:57.909
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, hockey season starts in a couple of weeks.

01:10:58.250 --> 01:10:58.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:10:58.610 --> 01:11:01.034
[SPEAKER_00]: And then watch your daughter bowl out, you know.

01:11:02.024 --> 01:11:08.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, come back in Mania, you know, squash almost and then disappear for another six months.

01:11:09.249 --> 01:11:11.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Run back another match we saw two years ago.

01:11:11.871 --> 01:11:14.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was an actual WrestleMania match.

01:11:14.953 --> 01:11:15.513
[SPEAKER_01]: It was.

01:11:15.673 --> 01:11:16.054
[SPEAKER_01]: It was.

01:11:16.094 --> 01:11:16.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:11:17.435 --> 01:11:20.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just keep rocking in those dollars and staff my television.

01:11:21.507 --> 01:11:23.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and the wrestling lowdown is correct.

01:11:23.710 --> 01:11:40.729
[SPEAKER_00]: I did see the WWE post show on ESPN and that Seth did confront Cody at the after show and they will do that champion versus champion match at crown jewel and I have to say I got a little excited because we have not seen them Russell one on one.

01:11:41.530 --> 01:11:42.791
[SPEAKER_00]: in about three years.

01:11:43.071 --> 01:11:43.712
[SPEAKER_00]: And they've been.

01:11:43.732 --> 01:11:44.512
[SPEAKER_00]: The hell in the cell, right?

01:11:44.852 --> 01:11:48.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, classic five star match to Koli never wants to watch back.

01:11:48.995 --> 01:11:50.956
[SPEAKER_00]: Because of the torn pack, I get it but dude.

01:11:51.336 --> 01:11:52.377
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an instant classic.

01:11:52.437 --> 01:11:53.538
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that match so much.

01:11:53.878 --> 01:11:54.919
[SPEAKER_00]: I love their chemistry.

01:11:55.079 --> 01:12:00.742
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, one of the best things about Seth's turn earlier this year is that that tension.

01:12:01.083 --> 01:12:03.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Because of what Seth did for Koli at last is WrestleMania.

01:12:04.245 --> 01:12:07.387
[SPEAKER_00]: And how they never really talked about what happened at

01:12:08.127 --> 01:12:09.308
[SPEAKER_00]: this is WrestleMania.

01:12:09.588 --> 01:12:10.889
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had a stare down.

01:12:11.289 --> 01:12:14.371
[SPEAKER_00]: But now we kind of see what we go from here.

01:12:15.012 --> 01:12:22.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there still that respect that love there that was developing or is it back to where we were before?

01:12:23.458 --> 01:12:29.001
[SPEAKER_01]: Well given sets current alignments, I think we're probably going to be, you know, it'll be a little

01:12:32.115 --> 01:12:35.258
[SPEAKER_00]: agreed and Fernando still thinks that Randy turns on Cody.

01:12:36.039 --> 01:12:37.340
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a possibility.

01:12:37.500 --> 01:12:37.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

01:12:38.501 --> 01:12:38.701
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:12:39.782 --> 01:12:44.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And Randy for the last few months has been teasing a punt.

01:12:45.107 --> 01:12:49.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think if you're going to go in that direction, he will punt Cody.

01:12:51.038 --> 01:12:55.245
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Seth should win this champion versus champion thing too.

01:12:56.887 --> 01:13:02.276
[SPEAKER_01]: It just feels like, you know, I think Seth needs it more than Cody does and I think Seth also deserves it.

01:13:03.173 --> 01:13:13.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree to get a duck back from three years ago and I guess we're bringing back those gotty bells and rings for crown jewel and who's more gotty than Seth Rollins.

01:13:13.722 --> 01:13:16.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that is someone who deserves it.

01:13:16.724 --> 01:13:22.789
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he does deserve his own crown jewel dynamite ring to knock people out with now.

01:13:23.309 --> 01:13:23.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:13:24.090 --> 01:13:24.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Add that to the gimmick.

01:13:25.291 --> 01:13:25.551
[SPEAKER_00]: Please.

01:13:26.912 --> 01:13:30.035
[SPEAKER_00]: All righty, so Paul, what is your rating for the main event of Resa Palusa?

01:13:31.276 --> 01:13:33.438
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go three and three quarter.

01:13:33.478 --> 01:13:34.419
[SPEAKER_01]: What kind of forever's?

01:13:36.361 --> 01:13:40.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, an honor of Rhodes, Condah forever.

01:13:40.344 --> 01:13:40.424
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:13:40.945 --> 01:13:42.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Appreciate you.

01:13:42.867 --> 01:13:47.831
[SPEAKER_00]: I will go three and a half crossroads.

01:13:48.051 --> 01:13:48.732
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be fair.

01:13:48.752 --> 01:13:51.394
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so we're we're close, but the one we

01:13:52.319 --> 01:14:00.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I had a feeling we were kind of diverse paths at the management spot as Dave Meltzer says quarter difference we're pretty much the same.

01:14:01.003 --> 01:14:06.125
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we basically share the same brain tonight, which is always in that positive.

01:14:06.765 --> 01:14:17.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Alrighty, so overall, first experience watching, well, you will never watch WWE on the SPN, because you have Netflix in tonight.

01:14:17.129 --> 01:14:18.810
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I'm not watching live again either.

01:14:18.830 --> 01:14:21.151
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what I have to put up with.

01:14:21.471 --> 01:14:23.151
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll probably, you know, it's Survivor Series.

01:14:23.191 --> 01:14:26.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I might go over to my friends again, cause I did have fun hanging out with him, you know, we got some food,

01:14:27.474 --> 01:14:32.573
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's always night fun to watch with people, but if I'm watching by myself, there's no way I'm sitting through those commercials.

01:14:33.132 --> 01:14:33.612
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:14:33.693 --> 01:14:34.753
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to work on that.

01:14:34.974 --> 01:14:37.856
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to work on that because like this is not a proper country.

01:14:38.316 --> 01:14:41.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I have not had that much debt time.

01:14:41.138 --> 01:14:47.643
[SPEAKER_00]: This is an undertaker entrance out of WrestleMania when I can literally go bake some cookies and they will be done by the time you're doing this entrance.

01:14:48.023 --> 01:14:49.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Like these commercials, it felt that way.

01:14:50.205 --> 01:14:51.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I can literally go to the bathroom.

01:14:52.026 --> 01:14:53.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I can fix the sandwich.

01:14:53.107 --> 01:14:54.028
[SPEAKER_00]: I can get something to drink.

01:14:54.128 --> 01:14:56.870
[SPEAKER_00]: I can do all these things lots of debt time.

01:14:57.490 --> 01:15:00.513
[SPEAKER_00]: My hope is and it was a nice viewing experience.

01:15:01.273 --> 01:15:10.664
[SPEAKER_00]: I need my provider, Xfinity to get the deal done 29 99 is a lot for something I already have in my cable package.

01:15:11.487 --> 01:15:12.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not fair.

01:15:12.947 --> 01:15:15.628
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, there is a work around and it's legal.

01:15:15.748 --> 01:15:27.190
[SPEAKER_01]: So if people are, you know, for the next time, apparently if you sign up for a free trial of Fubu TV, they include the include like ESPN unlimited with that, but you just gotta remember to cancel it right away.

01:15:27.690 --> 01:15:33.131
[SPEAKER_01]: So you get like five days free and then you can sign up for, you get ESPN unlimited for free included with that.

01:15:33.191 --> 01:15:34.851
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a little thing.

01:15:34.971 --> 01:15:38.352
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's, there's, you know, a lot of people in the chat, a lot of people watching live.

01:15:39.272 --> 01:16:00.879
[SPEAKER_01]: There is that in the future or you can listen to Stephanie McMahon and learn how to watch it If you p n I need to watch her podcast and see if she did that at I heard like I heard like I heard like I heard that part and she literally explained it Yes, and she said like how are you like I can't believe you're still paying for this like

01:16:03.561 --> 01:16:05.082
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, what the hell?

01:16:05.662 --> 01:16:06.483
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing?

01:16:06.563 --> 01:16:10.406
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, yeah, well, hey, listen, there's a work around to the work around.

01:16:10.466 --> 01:16:11.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all for it.

01:16:11.307 --> 01:16:22.817
[SPEAKER_00]: So, overall, Paul, first experience, not exactly an experience per say, but overall grade for Ressa Palusa.

01:16:22.837 --> 01:16:25.840
[SPEAKER_01]: I will go.

01:16:30.952 --> 01:16:38.687
[SPEAKER_00]: six ESPN logos, six ESPN logos, okay.

01:16:39.530 --> 01:16:45.633
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll go 6.5 enhanced ESPN like those.

01:16:45.653 --> 01:17:07.003
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I was like actually thinking like six and three quarters or whatever, but then that's a little too close to seven and then six and a yeah, so yeah, six and a half is probably more like what I actually felt like I don't know why I said six, but because six and a half is like, you know, slightly better in average, but you know, you probably got to go back and study a little and come back next week and you know, give me a seven

01:17:09.045 --> 01:17:10.385
[SPEAKER_00]: do some math as well.

01:17:10.645 --> 01:17:15.908
[SPEAKER_00]: And someone mysterious, a higher power, who is running the fucking media account.

01:17:15.968 --> 01:17:16.729
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was me.

01:17:17.249 --> 01:17:18.310
[SPEAKER_00]: It's you.

01:17:18.330 --> 01:17:18.650
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:17:18.730 --> 01:17:22.252
[SPEAKER_00]: I was wondering who was mastering the system here to you.

01:17:22.612 --> 01:17:23.893
[SPEAKER_00]: There is another post show.

01:17:24.673 --> 01:17:28.818
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a W all out post show with G G and join me fine stone.

01:17:28.838 --> 01:17:32.102
[SPEAKER_00]: They talked about the show before this show airs back to back.

01:17:32.122 --> 01:17:39.712
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is the rare back to back double header of WWE versus a W count of programming 20 25 through and through.

01:17:40.853 --> 01:17:46.059
[SPEAKER_00]: It will end after tonight for at least the rest of this year, no more count of programming.

01:17:46.079 --> 01:17:50.844
[SPEAKER_00]: And X2 will not be going up against A, W, there will be nothing else in terms of competition.

01:17:50.884 --> 01:17:53.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Head to head until next year.

01:17:53.587 --> 01:18:01.536
[SPEAKER_00]: And we know that is going to really, really, really, really ramp up as we see what A, W pulls out in terms of

01:18:02.737 --> 01:18:10.287
[SPEAKER_00]: shows, locations, and how WWEton's counter them with their own shows and locations.

01:18:10.868 --> 01:18:11.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:18:11.189 --> 01:18:15.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank cons for no more of this competition.

01:18:16.095 --> 01:18:17.056
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a break.

01:18:17.076 --> 01:18:18.018
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a lot.

01:18:18.935 --> 01:18:39.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean, I will say good because I didn't have a UFC show to watch today, like for me personally, it wasn't that bad, it's just a lot of wrestling, like even that CMLL show probably was maybe not a great idea for me, you know, given how much wrestling I was going to have to watch later, but I really did want to see that MJF match and if I'm going to pay for the whole thing, I might as well watch the whole thing.

01:18:41.135 --> 01:18:41.415
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

01:18:42.536 --> 01:19:06.398
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say like other than the mjf match though like I personally prefer like the triple A WWE stuff like I just like the production better I like the announcing better but that mjf mystical match was special and like I paid like I think it was $27 to watch the show I would have never paid that for the WWE triple A stuff but I feel like I got my money's worth just from that one match so

01:19:06.778 --> 01:19:14.268
[SPEAKER_01]: If anybody's listening that wants to see it, it's on thriller, formerly fight TV, I would strongly recommend it because I was a special match.

01:19:14.829 --> 01:19:16.771
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people calling it one of the best matches of the year.

01:19:17.910 --> 01:19:19.670
[SPEAKER_00]: I've read very good things about them match.

01:19:20.070 --> 01:19:27.592
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to check it out as well, MGF, to do what he did in terms of traveling from Mexico City, yeah.

01:19:27.972 --> 01:19:33.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me go up to Toronto, Canada and then deliver another great match against Mark Briscov this afternoon.

01:19:33.893 --> 01:19:41.955
[SPEAKER_00]: This guy, like Lysson, you can say a lot of things about MGF, but he is truly one of the very best wrestlers on the planet Earth today.

01:19:41.975 --> 01:19:45.176
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just goes out there every time and delivers.

01:19:47.596 --> 01:19:48.797
[SPEAKER_00]: in a lot of my four hours.

01:19:48.957 --> 01:19:49.197
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

01:19:49.237 --> 01:19:49.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:19:49.877 --> 01:19:50.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:19:50.297 --> 01:19:50.617
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:19:50.958 --> 01:19:53.399
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very much a giver when he wants to be a giver.

01:19:53.419 --> 01:20:01.983
[SPEAKER_00]: I will always say that he is above the edge of the word stuff a lot of the time that he's gifted.

01:20:02.483 --> 01:20:10.067
[SPEAKER_00]: If he just leans into what would make him like one of the greats by not being so extra, but as a wrestler, zero notes.

01:20:10.147 --> 01:20:11.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He's phenomenal.

01:20:11.808 --> 01:20:12.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Love him.

01:20:12.628 --> 01:20:34.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think like people on both sides of the aisle like WWE fans and a W fans like appreciate him and you know, and you'll hear like bad things about good wrestlers, you know, from, you know, a W tribalists and W tribalists and I really don't hear that about MTF everyone's kind of universally like yeah, this guy's good and, you know, he's young so strapping and joy the ride for the next 15, 20 years.

01:20:35.838 --> 01:20:45.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not even 30 years old, like not even in this prime yet of how great he actually is going to be once he hit a Sturdies, which is eerie in a very good way.

01:20:45.842 --> 01:20:47.583
[SPEAKER_00]: And listen, I love the dude.

01:20:47.803 --> 01:20:48.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I love him.

01:20:48.283 --> 01:20:56.106
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very good at what he does and Great 24 hours for him got two people over and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

01:20:56.586 --> 01:20:57.507
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was

01:20:58.936 --> 01:21:06.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Ressa Palusa that was a W all out that was a very busy weekend for us once again.

01:21:06.345 --> 01:21:15.135
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to think all of you for joining us in the chat fun interactions has some interesting characters popping and they popped right on out.

01:21:15.635 --> 01:21:17.977
[SPEAKER_00]: very quickly, because that's what we do here.

01:21:18.278 --> 01:21:23.482
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do want to thank my extra special guests, co-host, Paul Fontaine.

01:21:23.863 --> 01:21:26.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for tapping in, joining me tonight.

01:21:26.045 --> 01:21:28.247
[SPEAKER_00]: The talk about Ressa Palusa 2025.

01:21:30.395 --> 01:21:31.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, thank you for having me, Kila.

01:21:32.258 --> 01:21:35.722
[SPEAKER_01]: And I look forward to hearing you and Scott back again.

01:21:35.742 --> 01:21:38.847
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I assume you're back on Wednesday and you're regular time slots.

01:21:38.907 --> 01:21:41.070
[SPEAKER_01]: So looking forward to hearing that.

01:21:41.370 --> 01:21:47.599
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's always a pleasure to come in here and quoting Scott, chop it up with all things WWE.

01:21:48.869 --> 01:21:53.712
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that we've been doing this like knowing you for almost five years is crazy being a part of this network.

01:21:53.732 --> 01:21:56.434
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been one of the best experiences ever.

01:21:57.254 --> 01:22:00.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, we will be taking a week off, Scott and I will be off.

01:22:01.137 --> 01:22:04.439
[SPEAKER_00]: Week, Scott's side of town, spending time with the fan, but we'll be back.

01:22:05.020 --> 01:22:06.901
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm teasing this right now because we announced this.

01:22:06.941 --> 01:22:12.704
[SPEAKER_00]: I think on the show on Wednesday morning, starting, I want to have an exact date.

01:22:13.525 --> 01:22:19.698
[SPEAKER_00]: because I want to be correct, starting on Tuesday, such a method.

01:22:23.653 --> 01:22:28.415
[SPEAKER_00]: The rap will be going live every Tuesday night.

01:22:29.035 --> 01:22:31.976
[SPEAKER_01]: So like after NXT, yes, sweet.

01:22:32.596 --> 01:22:36.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so you're gonna get a live version of the chaos every Tuesday night.

01:22:37.037 --> 01:22:40.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Gonna still get the audio feed every Wednesday morning but we will be going live.

01:22:41.059 --> 01:22:45.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Tendously starting on Tuesdays tomorrow 30th, it's gonna be fun.

01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:47.321
[SPEAKER_00]: If you know us, we,

01:22:48.501 --> 01:22:49.782
[SPEAKER_00]: say a lot of crazy stuff.

01:22:49.882 --> 01:22:51.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul knows us to be true.

01:22:51.523 --> 01:23:00.367
[SPEAKER_00]: We spent 20 minutes talking about like 90s pop culture and Paul accused us of deliberately not talking about WWE.

01:23:00.847 --> 01:23:02.007
[SPEAKER_00]: He might have been right.

01:23:02.828 --> 01:23:11.052
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll tell you like a lot of times I'm lost on this stuff because I was a grown adult raising kids and working and not watching on this crap.

01:23:11.652 --> 01:23:15.314
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I enjoy listening to it.

01:23:15.715 --> 01:23:21.758
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, like I say that, I mean, that sounded kind of negative to start, but I wouldn't listen if I didn't enjoy it.

01:23:21.839 --> 01:23:23.940
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, I love you too.

01:23:24.680 --> 01:23:28.703
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, it's always a pleasure to hear you and join you when I get a chance to do so.

01:23:29.443 --> 01:23:30.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that'll be fun.

01:23:30.264 --> 01:23:37.068
[SPEAKER_01]: And people should join you because, yeah, live live is always better because you get the interaction with the people watching and listening.

01:23:37.288 --> 01:23:39.630
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, it's Jeff and I've been doing that for a couple of years.

01:23:41.787 --> 01:23:43.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, long overdue.

01:23:43.228 --> 01:23:44.369
[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking about it myself.

01:23:44.389 --> 01:23:46.671
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, you know what, feels kind of fun.

01:23:46.711 --> 01:23:49.914
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go live every week and kind of talk off things.

01:23:50.254 --> 01:23:55.839
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE and then it's no better feeling than to rip triple H every week live.

01:23:56.780 --> 01:23:57.080
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:23:57.120 --> 01:24:00.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm tempted to do right now, but I won't because he won't see it.

01:24:01.180 --> 01:24:01.761
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no.

01:24:01.821 --> 01:24:02.622
[SPEAKER_01]: He's busy right now.

01:24:02.662 --> 01:24:09.591
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a congratulating his lovely, lovely spouse who they probably don't ever talk to each other.

01:24:09.611 --> 01:24:09.951
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll count.

01:24:09.991 --> 01:24:11.073
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't say so.

01:24:11.193 --> 01:24:12.354
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, sorry.

01:24:13.295 --> 01:24:13.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.

01:24:13.856 --> 01:24:15.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_00]: The allocation.

[SPEAKER_00]: You just.

01:24:19.924 --> 01:24:29.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say, no, no, no, someone was brazed enough to actually go on Twitter and say, is this going to be the night they announced a divorce at the Hall of Fame ceremony next year?

01:24:29.457 --> 01:24:31.760
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, wow, okay.

01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:33.943
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, you got to wait till the girls are out of school.

01:24:34.264 --> 01:24:34.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Crazy night.

01:24:36.145 --> 01:24:42.289
[SPEAKER_00]: When the last one is out of the net, that is when you see, well, we'll children, you know, we had a great run.

[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie's got the calendar in her office with the red excess.

01:24:46.631 --> 01:24:47.992
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm counting down the days.

01:24:48.132 --> 01:24:48.952
[SPEAKER_01]: Not just kidding.

01:24:49.193 --> 01:24:49.653

[SPEAKER_00]: See, this one happens.

01:25:56.358 --> 01:26:00.700

01:26:26.253 --> 01:26:39.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And that will be an early morning show overseas unless WWE does a smart thing and actually air at night in the daytime in Austria, which is very possible because you can do that.

01:26:40.501 --> 01:26:41.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, does it all the time?

01:26:42.203 --> 01:26:45.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, do not have us wake up in the dead and night, but we'll see.

01:26:46.147 --> 01:26:48.550
[SPEAKER_00]: But until then, stay safe out there.

01:26:49.110 --> 01:27:01.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Enjoy the week ahead for WWE for myself and for Paul Fontaine, Grandpa Des, check out the data might show everyone's day on the fake A-Media Network YouTube channel as well.

01:27:01.684 --> 01:27:06.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Until next time, for us, take care and bye-bye.
