00:10.207 --> 00:11.089
[SPEAKER_03]: Hello, everyone.

00:11.129 --> 00:13.293
[SPEAKER_03]: Good morning, good evening.

00:13.854 --> 00:23.592
[SPEAKER_03]: As we're here live on the fake media network YouTube channel for another live edition of the wrap for your listening and viewing pleasure.

00:23.858 --> 00:46.440
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a sad day, yes it is, but we shall endure, we shall overcome as we try to give you some semblance of positivity to shed some light on some sad news that broke over the weekend in WWE, but we will soldier through, we will power through because that's what we do.

00:46.480 --> 00:48.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Isn't that familiar?

00:49.002 --> 00:51.064
[SPEAKER_03]: It's what we do.

00:51.567 --> 00:52.328
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it is.

00:53.048 --> 00:54.370
[SPEAKER_03]: All righty, I'm Kila Cash.

00:54.390 --> 00:57.833
[SPEAKER_03]: And by my side, as always, is my co-capped in my right hand.

00:58.313 --> 01:06.621
[SPEAKER_03]: These sometimes advocate for the reigning defending WWE speech, champion, Rinse and Claire from NXT.

01:07.181 --> 01:21.574
[SPEAKER_03]: I bring to you back on the rap as always the one, the only, and he might be salty tonight, but I'm going to also call him, at least,

01:21.554 --> 01:38.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm also happy to be here at the new day funeral RIP to the new day, because, uh,

01:38.800 --> 02:04.420
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... whenever they go to the say w it's going to be any day uh... show looking forward to that because so and yet as you call it and he would be a fool not to scoop these boys up let me tell you that okay um... but yeah so looking forward to getting into it but man that's uh... that's the tough on the swallow i'll give uh... i'm i'll tell you that that was a tough on the swallow

02:04.771 --> 02:10.661
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a tough one to wake up to because you know what, it's Saturday, you sleep in.

02:10.701 --> 02:21.519
[SPEAKER_03]: You think there's no news and then I wake up around like 930 10 o'clock people talking about the new day being in the alumni section of ww.com and like say what excuse me?

02:21.539 --> 02:25.125
[SPEAKER_03]: And then it breaks that it's true that they were

02:26.489 --> 02:45.286
[SPEAKER_03]: gone from WWE a mutual decision to leave because apparently TK apparently TKO acts them to take a pay cut after signing another five-year contract that runs through 2030 and they said peace out and I don't blame them in the least.

02:45.306 --> 02:55.956
[SPEAKER_03]: Know your worth, understand your value, and know when to walk away.

02:56.375 --> 03:00.722
[SPEAKER_03]: I might get any day versus the young bucks.

03:02.125 --> 03:07.854
[SPEAKER_03]: I might get Xavier Woods or Austin Creed versus Kinne Omega.

03:08.816 --> 03:10.819
[SPEAKER_03]: What the hell do I have to be sad about?

03:10.839 --> 03:13.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Please get your bag, TK, sign them.

03:14.626 --> 03:17.691
[SPEAKER_03]: Please expeditiously, as soon as you can.

03:19.342 --> 03:30.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't even know what Kofi's name is going to be, but Creed is definitely going to be Austin going forward, but yeah, I don't

03:31.627 --> 03:33.029
[SPEAKER_00]: They they'll be fine.

03:33.149 --> 03:34.711
[SPEAKER_00]: They can they can go to TNA.

03:34.771 --> 03:36.072
[SPEAKER_00]: They can go to New Japan.

03:36.172 --> 03:54.374
[SPEAKER_00]: They can go to a W. They can just do Andy shows and people will go crazy phone like they They're in a position right now where they can the world is at their fingertips like they can be the the tag team god to the end these they can do whatever they want.

03:54.434 --> 03:55.035
[SPEAKER_00]: So

03:55.842 --> 04:07.017
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it sucks the, you know, because you figured those two would be WWE lifers, but No, Fernando said, coffee is real name.

04:07.037 --> 04:09.080
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's going to be coffee is won't be Kingston.

04:10.902 --> 04:13.566
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be coffee something and you got to take something now.

04:13.586 --> 04:14.567
[SPEAKER_00]: We got coffee something.

04:15.188 --> 04:16.510
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take a coffee something.

04:16.530 --> 04:17.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll take it.

04:18.404 --> 04:22.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Go if you're something's not bad, go if you're something so, but this is cool.

04:23.191 --> 04:26.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to do great, because they can do whatever they want.

04:27.217 --> 04:27.838
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.

04:28.118 --> 04:30.322
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what, it's a problem of their careers.

04:30.862 --> 04:36.952
[SPEAKER_03]: And for the last year and a half, WWE's in playing in their faces with this hill term that went absolutely nowhere.

04:37.452 --> 04:39.015
[SPEAKER_03]: So thank you for giving me a bag.

04:39.035 --> 04:41.418
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the same time, can you creatively fulfill me too?

04:41.799 --> 04:46.065
[SPEAKER_03]: And when you try to ask me to take a pay cut on top of me getting shitty creative,

04:46.045 --> 04:53.152
[SPEAKER_03]: Then yeah, it's time for me to go while I'm in my prime where I can go somewhere else spread my wings and see what is off there.

04:53.192 --> 04:54.813
[SPEAKER_03]: And there are plenty of opportunities.

04:55.234 --> 05:03.321
[SPEAKER_03]: People got their wallets open ready to spend that money to cut a check to say, hey, we're going to have coffee something and awesome creed sign somewhere.

05:03.381 --> 05:09.227
[SPEAKER_03]: But I do believe the landing destination will be a W and there's a 90 day knock a peak loss.

05:09.287 --> 05:14.652
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's just pencil in all in Wembley stadium for their debut.

05:17.990 --> 05:27.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, uh, consequences create and coffee something are going to show up after the the young bucks when the they that be tag team titles again.

05:27.099 --> 05:41.153
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, uh, you know, that the the tweet, that one of the Jackson's not talking Michael or Tito put out, uh, where he said that they were going to rustles in the the new day and every one of the rejoice.

05:41.714 --> 05:45.077
[SPEAKER_00]: So it looks like he's a profit again.

05:45.226 --> 05:49.732
[SPEAKER_03]: This and they've hit it, they've hit in multiple times now and to get this one is huge.

05:50.293 --> 05:56.421
[SPEAKER_03]: And their respect level between them even across promotions has been big for almost years now.

05:56.441 --> 05:59.766
[SPEAKER_03]: They wore their merch and new Japan for their matches.

05:59.846 --> 06:01.949
[SPEAKER_03]: It was canon on being the elite.

06:02.129 --> 06:07.216
[SPEAKER_03]: And I remember the video game convention for years ago when they played Street Fighter.

06:07.577 --> 06:10.100
[SPEAKER_03]: And that crossover was just a moment in time.

06:10.140 --> 06:13.545
[SPEAKER_03]: And that was the closest we got to like the

06:13.525 --> 06:21.135
[SPEAKER_03]: And the new day, head to head playing video games, and now the possibility of them having matches in a WWE's a huge deal.

06:21.595 --> 06:28.043
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know there's a rummeling's in WWE about retaining Xavier Woods for what exactly probably up, up, down, down.

06:28.063 --> 06:35.973
[SPEAKER_03]: But you have to drop a hefty bag for that to happen because you can take that to a WWE cultivate that and build it from the ground up and on it.

06:36.174 --> 06:41.220
[SPEAKER_03]: So why would I take less to stay around and do nothing, essentially?

06:43.917 --> 07:11.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, you know, this is, this is the new reality we're in, um, you know, we're losing, you know, all time, I'm great, like the new day, one of the greatest factions tag teams in WWE history, and they're being like go, it's, it's very telling of kind of where we're at and kind of what they think of tag team wrestling.

07:12.250 --> 07:19.222
[SPEAKER_03]: You think very little, they think very little of their veterans and you're asking people to take pay cuts when you're making so much money.

07:19.682 --> 07:20.804
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the crazy part.

07:21.265 --> 07:32.764
[SPEAKER_03]: You're making money, big money, you're pulling in what hundreds of millions of dollars every single quarter and yet instead you try to cut corners by cutting people's pay.

07:32.884 --> 07:33.726
[SPEAKER_03]: It's ridiculous.

07:34.307 --> 07:36.891
[SPEAKER_03]: But the question becomes, what is the limit?

07:36.871 --> 07:46.744
[SPEAKER_03]: and ultimately it comes down to the fans like how much are you willing to accept from this company that continues to feel soulless at this point.

07:46.764 --> 07:47.465
[SPEAKER_03]: That's been a word.

07:47.885 --> 08:03.486
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been seeing a lot on the socials the last 48 to 72 hours if this company feels soulless and that you're letting that you let in go of quality people and that outside of the tippy top in this company, no one is truly safe.

08:03.466 --> 08:06.991
[SPEAKER_03]: No one, you think that you're tough on, you're not.

08:07.351 --> 08:12.918
[SPEAKER_03]: They might give you a call one day and say, hey, can you take a 50% acut for what exactly?

08:13.239 --> 08:22.310
[SPEAKER_03]: To save money where when you're making money, the executives are making eight figures a year and you can't pay me accordingly.

08:22.330 --> 08:23.652
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't pay me my worth.

08:27.958 --> 08:32.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is going to be a reoccurring theme.

08:33.098 --> 08:50.218
[SPEAKER_00]: There's the rumors of, you know, more people being asked to take these cuts and, you know, we're, I think we're going to see more of it as we go and there's been a good amount of releases and, you know, wasn't just a new day that was released as well.

08:50.318 --> 08:52.002
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess.

08:53.247 --> 09:02.501
[SPEAKER_00]: there's a lot of people being like go and you could tell how they're kind of manufacturing things like our truth and Damian priest or your taxing champions will smack down.

09:02.782 --> 09:09.713
[SPEAKER_00]: So that tells you that they can go over taxing and then just put two guys together and give them the belt.

09:09.773 --> 09:14.560
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is the new reality, like this is where we are.

09:15.381 --> 09:21.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And unless you're a goat like Ms, I think you could be in some real trouble.

09:21.327 --> 09:23.530
[SPEAKER_03]: Now Scott, stop that right now.

09:23.771 --> 09:27.015
[SPEAKER_03]: Even Mrs. Hill, I might not be safe.

09:27.036 --> 09:27.857
[SPEAKER_03]: I might not be safe.

09:27.877 --> 09:28.778
[SPEAKER_03]: They might cut me.

09:30.100 --> 09:32.263
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a double grand slam champion.

09:32.323 --> 09:33.265
[SPEAKER_03]: I've done it all, man.

09:33.425 --> 09:34.607
[SPEAKER_03]: I am the company.

09:35.088 --> 09:35.769
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, man.

09:35.929 --> 09:37.251
[SPEAKER_03]: I am the ambassador.

09:37.291 --> 09:39.013
[SPEAKER_03]: And they could cut my ass.

09:39.654 --> 09:40.115
[SPEAKER_03]: They could.

09:40.155 --> 09:46.705
[SPEAKER_00]: They won't cut him until they find somebody who's willing to do as much media.

09:46.765 --> 09:50.811
[SPEAKER_00]: Now if they find someone willing to do as much media, then we might be in trouble.

09:50.977 --> 09:55.323
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we might be, but don't you ever say legend for Ms.

09:55.584 --> 09:56.986
[SPEAKER_03]: He is safe, she is.

09:57.026 --> 09:57.787
[SPEAKER_03]: Nobody's safe.

09:58.288 --> 10:00.531
[SPEAKER_03]: As Fernando said, it's Cody's safe.

10:00.992 --> 10:05.238
[SPEAKER_03]: Hell no, they've been trying to botched that man's made an event for the last couple of years.

10:05.559 --> 10:06.420
[SPEAKER_03]: He ain't safe.

10:07.101 --> 10:08.223
[SPEAKER_03]: Nobody's safe.

10:09.104 --> 10:10.466
[SPEAKER_03]: Even Rome is not safe.

10:11.207 --> 10:14.973
[SPEAKER_03]: They say, hey, Roman, you won't be working at June.

10:14.993 --> 10:16.695
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, nah, that don't work for me.

10:16.735 --> 10:18.638
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm staying at home, and he did.

10:20.305 --> 10:22.668
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Ron, Ron, I'm in safe.

10:22.889 --> 10:25.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me, let's, let's, I think Roman is safe.

10:25.513 --> 10:32.182
[SPEAKER_00]: They will, they will not let Roman go because what they, what they don't want to do is make him spiteful.

10:32.363 --> 10:35.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause then he'll just go to eat, he'll eat, he'll eat, he'll eat.

10:35.587 --> 10:41.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you imagine, you pissing this man off at him be like, what?

10:41.652 --> 10:56.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, because he'll do it like you can't you can't do that to the biggest name and wrestling like outside of like the rock or somebody like Roman is the biggest closest to full time wrestling name and wrestling.

10:56.738 --> 10:59.743
[SPEAKER_00]: and you want to, that's the guy you want to kind of push away?

10:59.803 --> 11:00.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

11:02.127 --> 11:05.793
[SPEAKER_00]: You keep playing with fire because Tony, Tony got the fat pockets.

11:05.934 --> 11:06.414
[SPEAKER_00]: He does.

11:06.514 --> 11:07.676
[SPEAKER_00]: He got the dollars.

11:08.678 --> 11:09.900
[SPEAKER_00]: He got the dollars.

11:10.421 --> 11:15.850
[SPEAKER_00]: And even though he may be trying to save some money here and there, if somebody like Roman Reigns comes, he will pay him whatever.

11:16.251 --> 11:18.034
[SPEAKER_00]: He will give him a blank check.

11:18.054 --> 11:18.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:18.254 --> 11:19.877
[SPEAKER_00]: And say whatever you want,

11:19.857 --> 11:20.840
[SPEAKER_00]: you put on there.

11:21.242 --> 11:22.105
[SPEAKER_00]: I need you here.

11:22.646 --> 11:27.402
[SPEAKER_00]: And what the face, the face with him and Kenny, him and moxley, don't play with that.

11:28.245 --> 11:31.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't play with that because if he goes,

11:32.108 --> 11:35.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Seth will be thought not far behind and Tyler Black will show up as well.

11:37.395 --> 11:41.060
[SPEAKER_03]: Have a whole shoot where you get in a whole new company wildness.

11:41.941 --> 11:45.726
[SPEAKER_03]: Y'all remember one of the greatest A. W. paper who's about time all out.

11:45.746 --> 11:51.234
[SPEAKER_03]: 2021 when you had like Brian Daniels and Adam Cole show up on the same night.

11:51.855 --> 11:56.280
[SPEAKER_03]: Them lights going off Roman Reigns Tyler Black rolling through.

11:57.462 --> 11:58.183
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on.

11:59.480 --> 12:00.482
[SPEAKER_03]: Tony has the money.

12:00.602 --> 12:05.411
[SPEAKER_03]: We have to understand, like, yes, he can absolutely overpay for whoever he wants.

12:06.012 --> 12:11.363
[SPEAKER_03]: He just do dishes, how he breaks the check.

12:11.383 --> 12:12.224
[SPEAKER_03]: He can afford everybody.

12:12.264 --> 12:16.011
[SPEAKER_03]: Look how many people he retained and don't use them for months.

12:17.194 --> 12:20.560
[SPEAKER_03]: He don't could nobody until that contract is expired.

12:22.278 --> 12:24.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Brick Baker right here making real money.

12:24.740 --> 12:26.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Then it's money and wrestling money.

12:26.642 --> 12:31.846
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Tuesday at home to sit at home on ice for a year.

12:32.207 --> 12:33.988
[SPEAKER_03]: Tony won't cut you.

12:34.529 --> 12:39.093
[SPEAKER_03]: I will pay you into that last year of your contract expires and then you'll free to go.

12:39.713 --> 12:40.534
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to cut you.

12:40.794 --> 12:41.715
[SPEAKER_03]: I got it like that.

12:42.656 --> 12:44.437
[SPEAKER_03]: So clearly this levels to this.

12:44.477 --> 12:51.103
[SPEAKER_03]: If you ain't going to cut nobody, I'll come to KO cut and people to cover what budget.

12:52.265 --> 12:56.650
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't know, but shout out to Burke Baker, man.

12:57.030 --> 12:58.552
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's the life I'm trying to live.

12:58.852 --> 13:04.778
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, you hear me, not work for a year, and I can work at the Dennis office twice a week and still get my weekly ad.

13:04.878 --> 13:06.079
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you check on the first 15th?

13:06.220 --> 13:06.840
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that's right.

13:08.041 --> 13:08.682
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that's right.

13:09.022 --> 13:10.284
[SPEAKER_03]: Keith Lee still making money.

13:10.344 --> 13:10.784
[SPEAKER_03]: You right.

13:12.546 --> 13:14.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Poor Keith Lee away.

13:14.608 --> 13:16.230
[SPEAKER_01]: He's here in his true.

13:17.375 --> 13:18.897
[SPEAKER_03]: John, listen, good for you.

13:19.278 --> 13:20.900
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you enjoy getting a check?

13:20.940 --> 13:25.587
[SPEAKER_03]: God bless, listen, and then it's Fernando said, nobody thought, hold in macho man.

13:26.188 --> 13:29.112
[SPEAKER_03]: Hall, Nash, we'll go to WCW first.

13:29.172 --> 13:31.335
[SPEAKER_03]: True, true, and they all jumped.

13:31.355 --> 13:34.720
[SPEAKER_03]: So you never say, never in this business, there are no guarantees.

13:34.760 --> 13:39.406
[SPEAKER_03]: And I will guarantee you to see a punk when I'd be going back to you, W. That would not be happening.

13:39.467 --> 13:46.116
[SPEAKER_03]: That's like one like, no, that has to be one big

13:47.564 --> 13:54.413
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we can guarantee Romans I go on A, W. Yeah, we can guarantee Cody, if they push that man too far.

13:54.433 --> 13:57.958
[SPEAKER_03]: Not, I guess he, yeah, Cody, Cody, you'll go back.

13:58.038 --> 14:01.042
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess he's going back and we'll get a heroes welcome.

14:01.383 --> 14:03.185
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, like I've ventured out.

14:03.245 --> 14:05.027
[SPEAKER_03]: I've accomplished my dreams and goals.

14:05.148 --> 14:06.630
[SPEAKER_03]: I finished my story.

14:06.650 --> 14:08.893
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm coming back home to the place I built.

14:09.353 --> 14:11.576
[SPEAKER_03]: All these years ago, Tony, and I've made up.

14:11.636 --> 14:12.277
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all good.

14:12.297 --> 14:13.038
[SPEAKER_03]: It's gravy.

14:13.939 --> 14:15.141
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, so.

14:16.538 --> 14:18.061
[SPEAKER_03]: It's tough out here, y'all.

14:18.241 --> 14:20.025
[SPEAKER_03]: It is tough, cutting on with the TNA.

14:20.065 --> 14:25.776
[SPEAKER_03]: He did, and arguably had a better career there versus his run in WWE with the bangers you deliver.

14:25.837 --> 14:29.263
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, anything can happen in this business.

14:29.404 --> 14:32.931
[SPEAKER_03]: And as you said earlier, Fernando, it is great that you have options.

14:32.951 --> 14:35.155
[SPEAKER_03]: You have, like, multi,

14:35.135 --> 14:42.805
[SPEAKER_03]: billion dollar companies out here that can pay people to work and to show up and to book these rematches.

14:42.825 --> 14:48.372
[SPEAKER_03]: You have the indie scene still thriving these promotions that do have the money to spare to book people.

14:48.452 --> 14:50.195
[SPEAKER_03]: New Japan is an option to still.

14:50.675 --> 14:54.500
[SPEAKER_03]: So I love that for the talent who has options.

14:54.520 --> 15:00.568
[SPEAKER_03]: So you're just not going to be reliant on WWE to get you by it just depends

15:00.548 --> 15:05.424
[SPEAKER_03]: to get booked to try something different, to step aside your comfort zone.

15:05.725 --> 15:12.145
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's a big test with some people that are now wondering what that new normal is for them outside of WWE.

15:15.685 --> 15:24.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, everybody in the new day and everybody in Kofi Kingston and Xavier was, but I think that the path has been laid out.

15:24.559 --> 15:29.346
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you just got to go out and grind and we're seeing, I like we're seeing people who get released.

15:29.426 --> 15:36.397
[SPEAKER_00]: They, you know, they're very quickly getting in the, you know, independent shows, you know, you see the posters and stuff like that.

15:36.457 --> 15:43.228
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that the blueprint has been laid out and it's just a matter of how much you want to hustle and go get it at that point.

15:43.985 --> 15:44.727
[SPEAKER_03]: absolutely.

15:44.808 --> 15:46.413
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to be talking about the new day.

15:46.453 --> 15:52.071
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't even scratched a surface because we have to talk about three.

15:52.118 --> 15:55.102
[SPEAKER_03]: black men that were put together.

15:55.143 --> 16:00.771
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was all Xavier Wood's idea to say, hey, coefficient not doing nothing.

16:01.332 --> 16:03.415
[SPEAKER_03]: Biggie's languishing, let's form a group.

16:04.416 --> 16:07.681
[SPEAKER_03]: And we have to remember, as we talked about a few weeks ago, they were preachers.

16:08.522 --> 16:12.348
[SPEAKER_03]: They were happy, clapping preachers that preached positivity.

16:12.388 --> 16:14.231
[SPEAKER_03]: And they got booed.

16:14.952 --> 16:20.320
[SPEAKER_03]: I never forget it was

16:20.300 --> 16:21.701
[SPEAKER_03]: and they said, New Day sucks.

16:22.322 --> 16:32.311
[SPEAKER_03]: And after that, you know, it was rough flooding for a bit, but I remember there was an episode of Monday, Night Raw, and it was around the Father's Day season, and they are feeding with the prime time players.

16:32.952 --> 16:36.956
[SPEAKER_03]: And the thing that popped me was it was the New Day coming out.

16:38.037 --> 16:48.687
[SPEAKER_03]: And they had this banner saying that Kofi Kingston was the real father of the year over Titus O'Neill.

16:48.667 --> 16:51.271
[SPEAKER_03]: I knew then they struck gold.

16:56.218 --> 17:01.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they had a little run there where they were the highlight of Monday and night raw.

17:01.326 --> 17:04.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Like every week, you knew you were going to get a good segment out of the new day.

17:05.872 --> 17:15.366
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it be a skit, whether it be entering segment, whether it be them wrestling a six

17:15.650 --> 17:34.036
[SPEAKER_00]: had a little period there where they really struggled with the three man's hacks like the Wyatt family to shield the new day like they really kind of struggled with a lot of that kind of building forming and really creating legacies around the same time.

17:34.858 --> 17:37.962
[SPEAKER_00]: And the new day just

17:38.735 --> 17:56.695
[SPEAKER_00]: from going from what like you said, going from a dead on a rival gimmick, completely as as bias as you could find black people, they probably heard Biggie doing something when they were like, oh, he's a preacher.

17:57.096 --> 17:58.137
[SPEAKER_00]: You hear that man?

17:58.697 --> 18:01.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Biggie probably went, hmm, one time.

18:01.060 --> 18:03.763
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's all, all this turtle's

18:03.743 --> 18:06.629
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it is, it is.

18:06.649 --> 18:24.604
[SPEAKER_00]: So to take that and make that into one of the greatest gimmicks, some of the greatest moments, them being the host and then, you know, people thinking it was them a WrestleMania and then bringing out the hearty's like they have moments where

18:24.584 --> 18:50.592
[SPEAKER_00]: during Kofi's run when the this is a moment's been going viral since they've been released but the when the usos came out and said they forfeit like the the new day were a part of that the tag team division being relevant uh the historic run helping the bar get over like there's so many things that the new day uh have had had had been a part of have helped make relevant and

18:50.977 --> 19:06.589
[SPEAKER_00]: they for them to have coffee have his run and stay together for them to have biggie have his run and they stay together for Xavier Woods to have his run and they stay together like

19:06.569 --> 19:25.776
[SPEAKER_00]: That was, that's very telling, very incredible for a group like that, especially a group of of black men to be able to have that type of longevity, success, and just honestly be the consistent backbone of the tag division.

19:26.256 --> 19:33.106
[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever they need to be like a reset or you just needed to put the titles on somebody you could trust, you put it on the new day.

19:33.707 --> 19:34.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Like,

19:34.548 --> 19:37.331
[SPEAKER_00]: And you always count on them for good matches.

19:37.371 --> 19:40.974
[SPEAKER_00]: They have some of the best tag team matches of all time.

19:41.155 --> 19:44.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Classics versus the new versus the Usos, that little run.

19:44.858 --> 19:47.982
[SPEAKER_00]: The bloodshed brothers, they have really good matches against them as well.

19:49.123 --> 19:56.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the bar, like I mentioned earlier, like they set a standard for tag team wrestling.

19:57.071 --> 20:04.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And once they stop being the centerpiece of the division, the division faltered a little bit.

20:04.670 --> 20:16.843
[SPEAKER_00]: I think what they've done as a trio, I don't think, well, I honestly don't think we'll see another black group that successful in wrestling.

20:17.544 --> 20:29.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be hard pressed if we ever see another group of three black men, all achieved a level of success collectively and individually that we saw with the new day.

20:29.999 --> 20:31.801
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, they all got pushes.

20:32.522 --> 20:34.664
[SPEAKER_03]: The tag team runs were interchangeable.

20:34.784 --> 20:39.470
[SPEAKER_03]: Like any combination of them is champs just worked in every single way.

20:39.950 --> 20:42.073
[SPEAKER_03]: They were a highlight on Monday night raw.

20:42.113 --> 20:48.841
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they had me laughing at times crying with their skits, their association with Seth Rollins was a lot of fun.

20:48.881 --> 20:50.743
[SPEAKER_03]: The shade they would throw at.

20:50.823 --> 20:54.587
[SPEAKER_03]: The superstars every single week in the ring was just amazing.

20:55.088 --> 20:57.070
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you have to think about

20:57.640 --> 20:58.441
[SPEAKER_03]: the marketing.

20:59.322 --> 21:08.354
[SPEAKER_03]: Budeos was just a word in a promo, and they legitimately got serial made called Budeos that was sold in stores.

21:12.520 --> 21:24.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can't, like I said, you can't overstate how impactful and successful they were as a tag team and like,

21:25.585 --> 21:32.529
[SPEAKER_00]: that you said, they got, they got actual food made in store, they came out in a box abudio.

21:32.609 --> 21:34.114
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that's a mania.

21:34.134 --> 21:35.258
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like,

21:35.660 --> 21:37.503
[SPEAKER_00]: What more can you ask for?

21:37.883 --> 21:41.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Biggie won a one during COVID.

21:41.289 --> 21:44.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure Biggie won a ladder match to win the tag titles by himself.

21:45.134 --> 21:45.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you did.

21:46.256 --> 21:48.620
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't like a triple threat to the match.

21:48.640 --> 21:50.763
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, and he won it for the entire team.

21:51.124 --> 21:51.664
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

21:51.765 --> 21:54.469
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been a part of some incredible things.

21:56.512 --> 22:00.638
[SPEAKER_00]: That, like, Kofi Mania doesn't happen without the new day.

22:00.736 --> 22:02.619
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you know, like Biggie's rise.

22:02.699 --> 22:04.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think happens without the new day.

22:05.684 --> 22:12.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Xavier would probably doesn't become king of the ring without the new day.

22:12.695 --> 22:20.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that engine that they all got to have and put into their backs as they continue to rise of the ranks.

22:21.069 --> 22:22.511
[SPEAKER_00]: Just can't be overstated, man.

22:22.531 --> 22:23.132
[SPEAKER_00]: This is.

22:23.990 --> 22:53.997
[SPEAKER_00]: It really is as happy and as great as what they're going to do next is going to be, it is kind of a shame that they went out on the whimper that they did, just because of the legacy and longevity that they had as a group.

22:53.977 --> 22:55.299
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree.

22:55.359 --> 23:00.426
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it was a run that was remarkable for over 10 years.

23:01.388 --> 23:04.752
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's said how it ended the way that it did.

23:04.772 --> 23:10.080
[SPEAKER_03]: That there's no finality that you don't get to see them one last time.

23:10.160 --> 23:15.488
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't get to even see the big E reunion of the morking things out in storyline.

23:15.548 --> 23:21.857
[SPEAKER_03]: And now you wonder, hell, you might see them in

23:21.837 --> 23:23.479
[SPEAKER_03]: 10 years potentially.

23:23.499 --> 23:25.661
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think that WWE fumbled.

23:26.122 --> 23:31.508
[SPEAKER_03]: We have an experience tag team that has a lot to offer to the younger generation.

23:31.548 --> 23:40.318
[SPEAKER_03]: And they were teasing the story with the new day in Javan Evans and Kofi, you know, trying to take Javan under his wing.

23:40.338 --> 23:42.441
[SPEAKER_03]: That could have been a really good storyline.

23:43.001 --> 23:50.730
[SPEAKER_03]: But you asked your veterans who've been there who've done so much for your company to take a pay cut.

23:51.149 --> 24:09.715
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you expect them to say yes and undercut their value and worth and I'm glad they said no and I hope that a lot of more people say no to this because you cannot just diminish me and just say, hey, you're worth this no I'm worth everything that I have earned in this company for over.

24:09.695 --> 24:14.201
[SPEAKER_03]: in Gulf East case 20 years and Xavier's case 16 years.

24:14.622 --> 24:19.508
[SPEAKER_03]: So you just can't just say, hey, do this if you want to stay around.

24:19.529 --> 24:21.391
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, you know, I know my worth and value.

24:21.431 --> 24:23.354
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in the prime of my career.

24:23.454 --> 24:24.515
[SPEAKER_03]: I can go somewhere else.

24:24.616 --> 24:25.597
[SPEAKER_03]: I can make more money.

24:25.997 --> 24:27.199
[SPEAKER_03]: I won't be discounted.

24:27.279 --> 24:28.521
[SPEAKER_03]: I won't be disrespected.

24:28.841 --> 24:30.083
[SPEAKER_03]: And I can get more

24:30.063 --> 24:31.064
[SPEAKER_03]: somewhere else.

24:31.264 --> 24:35.530
[SPEAKER_03]: I can put more people over somewhere else versus where I am right now.

24:35.950 --> 24:50.248
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think about the possibilities of I think about the possibilities of them going to AEW and you see maybe coffee versus a Kevin night for example, like that just brings out like wow and you have swore of there too.

24:50.228 --> 25:01.487
[SPEAKER_03]: all of that, all of that black history, all of that black magic right there somewhere else when you could have had it in WWE, but y'all too cheap.

25:04.927 --> 25:22.446
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we do have the black youth movement going on right now, but I just think even, even everything you said is correct, like to have those type of black veterans, but even outside of that, just to have them as the veterans in the locker room like.

25:22.426 --> 25:46.747
[SPEAKER_00]: every locker room and every sport keeps a veteran, veterans around who may not play, but you keep them around for the locker room, for the morale, to have someone for the younger people who look up to go to, to talk to if they need to, to have someone reliable, if you need someone just to be of the backbone of a division, like they can still do that, even in their current state.

25:46.847 --> 25:47.809
[SPEAKER_00]: So

25:47.789 --> 25:51.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think there's just, there's so much they could have brought to the table.

25:52.276 --> 25:56.643
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's a running AAA that could have been made by them.

25:57.083 --> 25:59.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Just just to have and just to keep them around.

25:59.607 --> 26:05.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, that's just a baffling release just on so many levels.

26:06.773 --> 26:13.504
[SPEAKER_00]: whether it's them being, you know, kind of, you know, almost larger than life.

26:13.784 --> 26:17.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not not a life, but black icons in the business.

26:17.550 --> 26:31.212
[SPEAKER_00]: When you really think about it as far as what they've done, like they've really established themselves to them just being great hands that you can have as a backbone division in a

26:31.917 --> 26:33.420
[SPEAKER_03]: child there is no tech division.

26:33.440 --> 26:35.163
[SPEAKER_03]: They're both dead on both shows.

26:35.203 --> 26:41.414
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just depressing and then you lose your ace tech team that can still elevate people.

26:41.995 --> 26:44.499
[SPEAKER_03]: Can still do things if you push them accordingly.

26:44.539 --> 26:47.624
[SPEAKER_03]: If you try and now that's gone.

26:48.225 --> 26:51.411
[SPEAKER_03]: But I will always appreciate the memories.

26:51.391 --> 27:08.758
[SPEAKER_03]: Kofimania is a moment that will last and live on forever despite how it ended by the hands of redacted on their first SmackDown on Fox the moment the build up the we're at the all of WWE to pivot when Kofi got hot because because you know half a stance happens.

27:08.738 --> 27:09.780
[SPEAKER_03]: injuries happen.

27:09.820 --> 27:19.034
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was due to Mr. Farley getting hurt and then Kofi gets into that match and he balls out and he wrestles like his life depended on it.

27:19.455 --> 27:29.751
[SPEAKER_03]: And from that day forward, he was locked in and I'll give the other redacted his due because you did push Kofi, you did pivot, you said you know what?

27:29.731 --> 27:31.134
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's roll with coffee mania.

27:31.555 --> 27:32.657
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the sound of that.

27:32.998 --> 27:35.122
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, this guy is been in the game for a very long time.

27:35.142 --> 27:42.317
[SPEAKER_03]: 11 years has never touched a major championship outside of the tech team and US and I see title, let's go.

27:42.337 --> 27:44.140
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's swing for defenses.

27:44.601 --> 27:50.473
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's do this and coffee at when the greatest WrestleMania matches against Daniel Bryan.

27:50.453 --> 28:01.036
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the greatest moments ever because they listened to the people and coffee, whatever took over his body that night said in this moment, I won't be denied.

28:01.056 --> 28:04.022
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not going to just sign line me.

28:04.082 --> 28:05.906
[SPEAKER_03]: This isn't just me being a placeholder.

28:06.387 --> 28:07.309
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm built for this.

28:07.490 --> 28:08.351
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm meant for this.

28:08.512 --> 28:10.977
[SPEAKER_03]: I've always been ready for this moment.

28:13.235 --> 28:15.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and he, I thought he had a really good rain.

28:16.921 --> 28:26.557
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought RKFTR was a great kind of a foil fur for the new day when FTR and RKO ran to your team dub.

28:26.937 --> 28:27.618
[SPEAKER_00]: That was great.

28:27.679 --> 28:31.324
[SPEAKER_00]: So Moe would Joe, Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler.

28:31.745 --> 28:34.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think, I think Kofi had a really good run.

28:34.970 --> 28:36.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think,

28:36.573 --> 28:43.252
[SPEAKER_00]: His reign was with what it was supposed to be a strong run guy big names.

28:43.312 --> 28:48.507
[SPEAKER_00]: He got he got to beat I think people just remember how it ended

28:49.313 --> 28:54.062
[SPEAKER_00]: and by who it ended by and how we never got reparations for that until Opa.

28:54.483 --> 28:59.493
[SPEAKER_00]: But now that we got our reparations, I think we can look back more fondly on the coffee rain.

29:00.154 --> 29:05.725
[SPEAKER_00]: And just remember that, like all the people that he'd be like, he had a great match with some of what Joe where he dove out the cage that went the match.

29:05.765 --> 29:08.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's so many good things about his run.

29:08.551 --> 29:11.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, that we can look back on finally.

29:11.235 --> 29:20.188
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just happy that he got it at WrestleMania over Daniel Bryan, who was honestly the, essentially co-female before co-female.

29:20.729 --> 29:24.014
[SPEAKER_00]: So like it, the parallels there were just incredible as well.

29:24.214 --> 29:26.037
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um,

29:26.017 --> 29:28.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it sucks that they're gone.

29:28.061 --> 29:29.143
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to do great things.

29:29.563 --> 29:40.363
[SPEAKER_00]: But they left a plethora of memories and found on this and matches and moments, promos for us to look back on.

29:40.597 --> 29:41.318
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

29:41.378 --> 29:45.102
[SPEAKER_03]: And the fits to man, the fits, man, the creativity of the fits was amazing.

29:45.723 --> 29:49.167
[SPEAKER_03]: And not only that, you know, let's talk about the culture, man.

29:49.707 --> 29:52.230
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, they represented the culture so well.

29:52.290 --> 29:55.273
[SPEAKER_03]: And that we can be smart.

29:55.474 --> 29:56.435
[SPEAKER_03]: We can be nerdy.

29:56.495 --> 29:57.956
[SPEAKER_03]: We can be video game nerds.

29:57.997 --> 29:59.038
[SPEAKER_03]: We can love anime.

29:59.478 --> 30:00.720
[SPEAKER_03]: We can love the golden girls.

30:00.860 --> 30:02.982
[SPEAKER_03]: All of that was expressed through the new day.

30:03.182 --> 30:06.486
[SPEAKER_03]: And I want to shout out Xavier for up, up, down, down.

30:06.466 --> 30:28.086
[SPEAKER_03]: Like one of my favorite channels that got me to the pandemic y'all let me taste something the party playing Uno got me through some tough times and it was great comedy I loved it it gave me life and I mean we get Uno I bought Uno I bought the game because they played it every single week so Xavier Woods tap again to that doing like interviews with

30:28.066 --> 30:33.475
[SPEAKER_03]: talent by playing video games to get that personality out to get some background.

30:33.515 --> 30:34.957
[SPEAKER_03]: The WWE wasn't doing.

30:34.997 --> 30:35.618
[SPEAKER_03]: He was doing it.

30:35.659 --> 30:38.563
[SPEAKER_03]: He was doing the profiles the company wasn't doing.

30:39.004 --> 30:41.749
[SPEAKER_03]: He was getting talent over getting nicknames over.

30:41.769 --> 30:44.754
[SPEAKER_03]: How do we know Binky is Bianca Belair because of Xavier Woods.

30:45.655 --> 30:47.478
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody knows Binky Xavier.

30:47.919 --> 30:49.281
[SPEAKER_03]: We know who Binky is.

30:52.805 --> 31:12.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a, like I said, it's a big loss on a lot of different levels, but what they do next is I think it's going to intrigue people and I think they're going to, they're going to show them more people were invested in them than I think TKO probably thought and this going to be too late at that point.

31:13.983 --> 31:20.611
[SPEAKER_03]: and has seven figures in AEW with the merch, with the feuds, I'm here for it.

31:21.011 --> 31:27.439
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I said, I grieved for five minutes that I thought, oh, I gave my books match with the any day.

31:28.080 --> 31:34.928
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm good, I am so good, I am peachy, I am fine, I'll be okay.

31:37.760 --> 31:40.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, I'm looking forward to that.

31:40.884 --> 31:43.828
[SPEAKER_00]: Consequences Creed is going to bring Pac-Man back and everything.

31:43.868 --> 31:44.889

[SPEAKER_00]: No, they both got bags.

32:36.325 --> 32:39.431
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they didn't give in the boys five stars.

32:39.751 --> 32:46.042
[SPEAKER_00]: They still, it's going to take at least a year to get that WWE stench off them for like, ah, you know what, now we give them the five.

32:46.442 --> 32:48.786
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, Scott, I'm betting you right now.

32:49.087 --> 32:57.160
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a bet in, in a year's time, consequences and coffee something, they're going

32:57.140 --> 33:02.587
[SPEAKER_03]: two, five star or more matches in AWS for you.

33:03.307 --> 33:04.529
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll take that bet.

33:04.549 --> 33:07.412
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll take that bet and you'll lose.

33:08.494 --> 33:09.935
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take that bet.

33:10.436 --> 33:11.417
[SPEAKER_00]: They might get one.

33:11.457 --> 33:15.802
[SPEAKER_00]: If you, you, you give them FTR and the box in.

33:16.423 --> 33:17.805
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

33:18.366 --> 33:19.667
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

33:19.807 --> 33:21.449
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

33:21.529 --> 33:22.430
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

33:22.450 --> 33:24.132
[SPEAKER_03]: There, there, baby.

33:24.853 --> 33:27.096
[SPEAKER_03]: We're about out to two.

33:30.721 --> 33:40.153
[SPEAKER_00]: If Biggie miraculously comes back and we get a six man of the levers and then I might concede the five and five and a half.

33:40.173 --> 33:41.695
[SPEAKER_00]: I might, I might, I might concede that.

33:42.235 --> 33:43.176
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's it.

33:43.357 --> 33:52.628
[SPEAKER_03]: It's an I need Big E to book whatever where the stereo is booking in Mexico, go get those magic stem cells and you'll neck.

33:52.709 --> 33:55.739
[SPEAKER_03]: Let those babies with juvenate and heal your neck.

33:56.301 --> 34:02.300
[SPEAKER_03]: And if those bones fuse, you take your head say, W get you a five-star match.

34:03.704 --> 34:05.149
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to not then get it.

34:06.209 --> 34:11.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Vigi said, I'm about to come back to WWE and get a more emotional return than Ed.

34:11.674 --> 34:12.195
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.

34:13.636 --> 34:15.158
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give my world a moment.

34:15.678 --> 34:18.241
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, you're never saying never in this business.

34:18.361 --> 34:23.506
[SPEAKER_03]: Trust me when I say the Martin medicine miracles that take place you never say never.

34:23.987 --> 34:27.190
[SPEAKER_03]: Even though he might say he's retired, I still hold out hope dammit.

34:27.931 --> 34:29.032
[SPEAKER_03]: I can still believe.

34:29.072 --> 34:33.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can.

34:33.657 --> 34:34.157
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

34:34.897 --> 34:38.341
[SPEAKER_03]: All righty and Curry had hello good evening to you.

34:38.941 --> 34:46.389
[SPEAKER_03]: So what's going on, Keela, if I was Tony Khan, I would do a one night tag team tournament and call it the J Bruce go tournament.

34:47.010 --> 34:50.254
[SPEAKER_03]: Actually with all the tag teams in AWS, you could do that.

34:51.015 --> 34:51.415
[SPEAKER_03]: You could.

34:53.377 --> 34:56.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if he does decide to do that, and he says he's got a surprise team.

34:58.022 --> 35:00.685
[SPEAKER_00]: We know any day now is coming

35:00.749 --> 35:06.862
[SPEAKER_03]: I too loved the aspects of any day now would be like their name and I'm here for it.

35:06.902 --> 35:09.247
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I would love that because they're tag team is so deep.

35:09.548 --> 35:13.636
[SPEAKER_03]: And then think about this, just got get yourself there in a W. The hurts in the kit.

35:13.757 --> 35:15.621
[SPEAKER_03]: You could run that again too.

35:15.921 --> 35:16.783
[SPEAKER_03]: Properly.

35:18.856 --> 35:19.377
[SPEAKER_00]: you could.

35:19.657 --> 35:21.820
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a very easy segue in.

35:22.221 --> 35:24.965
[SPEAKER_00]: I got, I guess we'll also cover here.

35:25.366 --> 35:31.515
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, there's a lot, lot, lot, lot, there's a lot of connections there between AEW and in, in any day.

35:32.436 --> 35:32.837
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.

35:32.917 --> 35:36.042
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just fantasy booking like I said, I am fine.

35:36.683 --> 35:43.513
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sad for a day, but any day now, I'm going to be all right, because I know we'll get my dream matches and my five star classics.

35:43.645 --> 35:53.217
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be okay, but I know that Scott is also in bereavement because something happened.

35:54.659 --> 36:10.378
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know it wound him when this news broke on Saturday as well, that the great Tonga

36:10.747 --> 36:19.715
[SPEAKER_00]: unfortunate things happen to to go to to legends and you did the like I like everything we mentioned about the new day.

36:19.735 --> 36:29.444
[SPEAKER_00]: The great you can't even keep a face.

36:29.705 --> 36:35.250
[SPEAKER_00]: The great and comparable and an ultra talented Tonga Loa.

36:37.232 --> 36:38.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's not

36:39.755 --> 36:43.403
[SPEAKER_00]: make what Matt Cordona did on the in these look like child's play.

36:44.967 --> 36:53.746
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, not only is he going to do that, but he might just go back home and take that I WGP heavyweight title and be like, you know what, it's my time.

36:55.670 --> 36:56.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Tonga low was back.

36:58.469 --> 37:14.764
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, you to say that delivery with a stray face is amazing to me that you believe that with the conviction in your voice to say like the greatest the best to ever do it lies the man that was scared to climb a ladder to rest a man he is a go that guy.

37:14.804 --> 37:19.429
[SPEAKER_00]: By the end of standing on top of the ladder.

37:20.690 --> 37:25.354
[SPEAKER_00]: And the most dangerous way possible was standing up there with the milk.

37:26.026 --> 37:36.018
[SPEAKER_03]: Gosh, and then another release, or to parture their phrasing it now in WWE speak, Jeff Cobb.

37:36.038 --> 37:41.504
[SPEAKER_03]: They had my man wearing juggle-low face paint for a year, and they did nothing with him.

37:42.045 --> 37:50.194
[SPEAKER_03]: They brought him in, changed his name, the most generic name that he gives him by the J.C. Chavez Mateo, and now he's gone.

37:50.714 --> 37:52.176
[SPEAKER_03]: is just what a waste of a year.

37:52.517 --> 37:58.325
[SPEAKER_03]: But even a year in WWE, they could have right before he made the one-year mark in WWE.

37:58.345 --> 38:00.909
[SPEAKER_03]: So the MFTs are down half their crew.

38:05.676 --> 38:10.984
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so now I just my family stump.

38:11.555 --> 38:14.580
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we let go of Tonga.

38:14.640 --> 38:16.543
[SPEAKER_00]: We let go of Jesus Christ Mateo.

38:17.564 --> 38:26.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And now it's just solo Tonga, the Tol Tonga, Tol Tonga, and the Tame Tonga, Tol Tonga.

38:27.399 --> 38:33.228
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just, I don't know what to go with on, man.

38:33.449 --> 38:40.279
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know, I saw a graphic the other day

38:40.495 --> 38:42.439
[SPEAKER_00]: bladder match that they had at summer slam.

38:42.479 --> 38:43.601
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was last year.

38:43.621 --> 38:46.165
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's only like one team left.

38:46.967 --> 38:47.708
[SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

38:48.029 --> 38:48.971
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's a street profits.

38:50.053 --> 38:50.533
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.

38:50.594 --> 38:51.455
[SPEAKER_02]: You already know.

38:51.876 --> 38:52.617
[SPEAKER_02]: It's right.

38:52.637 --> 38:53.018
[SPEAKER_02]: It's right.

38:53.038 --> 38:53.258
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

38:53.859 --> 38:54.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Two.

38:54.180 --> 38:54.881
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

38:54.901 --> 38:55.543
[SPEAKER_03]: Two survivors.

38:58.648 --> 39:00.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's going on, man.

39:00.291 --> 39:02.335
[SPEAKER_00]: So.

39:02.720 --> 39:10.568
[SPEAKER_00]: shout out the shout out the solo and shout out the Tala, the Tala Tonga man for making it.

39:11.649 --> 39:20.518
[SPEAKER_03]: For surviving in my man, Tomatanga, Cheta Biscuits, you know what we're surviving and we're making do to cut your brother that's crazy actually this wild.

39:21.198 --> 39:27.985
[SPEAKER_03]: And Curry had also notes that I feel I feel like we're about to see our resurgence, intact teams in A, W.

39:27.965 --> 39:30.390
[SPEAKER_03]: How can you drop the bag like that TKO?

39:30.430 --> 39:31.392
[SPEAKER_03]: Great question.

39:31.793 --> 39:34.719
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there is no investment in tag team wrestling right now.

39:34.799 --> 39:36.964
[SPEAKER_03]: Look who your tag team fans are on SmackDown.

39:37.465 --> 39:40.912
[SPEAKER_03]: No offense to Damian Priest and our truth for those are champs right now.

39:41.453 --> 39:47.205
[SPEAKER_03]: A Monday night Raw, it's a Logan Paul and Black Justin Timberlake.

39:48.080 --> 39:53.748
[SPEAKER_03]: or as Montes call that man on the socials, team, Lou Justin Bieber.

39:54.148 --> 39:55.590
[SPEAKER_03]: That's who your champs are.

39:56.091 --> 40:02.239
[SPEAKER_03]: Representing tag team wrestling, to make shift teams who aren't very over.

40:05.183 --> 40:07.726
[SPEAKER_00]: To be fair, Austin Theory looks like he could eat Justin Bieber.

40:08.768 --> 40:17.800
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's more of, okay, I mentioned before, he's more of a creator rest with 36.

40:18.877 --> 40:26.137
[SPEAKER_00]: We could talk about them as a tag team, but when Logan Paul drops Austin Theory and decides to go on his own, I think he's gonna do really good things.

40:26.177 --> 40:29.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think he's got a nice singles run on the way after this.

40:30.757 --> 40:35.787
[SPEAKER_03]: I know he desperately wants to be a baby face, and nobody does good luck with that.

40:36.208 --> 40:42.641
[SPEAKER_03]: Good luck, because I know this week that I know this, what he wants to do, I know that's his in-game, we'll see, truly.

40:43.162 --> 40:45.707
[SPEAKER_03]: And Fernando notes about the Jeff Cobb departure.

40:45.748 --> 40:48.934
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they just signed him, so A, W, couldn't.

40:48.914 --> 40:55.664
[SPEAKER_03]: possible points as well and the money was probably a little bit thicker by WWE, but didn't mean anything at the end of the day, ultimately.

40:55.704 --> 40:57.767
[SPEAKER_03]: And Kerry had also circles back.

40:58.148 --> 41:01.212
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like TKO is cutting the fact that they can sell it.

41:01.372 --> 41:07.942
[SPEAKER_03]: Believe me, I had that funny feeling they're going to sell it and you know this going to be ugly for those die hard WWE fans.

41:08.423 --> 41:13.470
[SPEAKER_03]: That has been the consensus for a minute now that their goal is to basically sell the company.

41:13.450 --> 41:18.781
[SPEAKER_03]: Once they have the profits fat in up and you raise the value they're going to sell it.

41:19.202 --> 41:20.986
[SPEAKER_03]: Now the question is who they're going to sell it to?

41:21.367 --> 41:22.229
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my fear.

41:23.772 --> 41:24.373
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm scared.

41:24.875 --> 41:28.843
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I figured my go to someone that wants to own the content.

41:28.908 --> 41:35.576
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe Netflix, maybe Disney, that's the end game I don't see who else would want it.

41:35.796 --> 41:41.683
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought that NBC would want it, but when you left free of speed and I don't think they want to touch you.

41:42.203 --> 41:48.951
[SPEAKER_03]: So I just wonder like if you do have this prime for a sell the next five years or so, who would be a buyer?

41:48.971 --> 41:52.615
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he can.

41:54.417 --> 41:55.538
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so.

41:55.578 --> 41:58.662
[SPEAKER_03]: He has the funds to do it.

41:59.738 --> 42:02.262
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah, actually, yeah, I'm kind of with Fernando.

42:02.282 --> 42:07.190
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Saudi buying them, it's about to be the, I think Saudi, Saudi, and the buying them.

42:08.852 --> 42:15.202
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way, they're not gonna let Tony come out by them.

42:15.222 --> 42:19.429
[SPEAKER_00]: They can't, you can't do that.

42:19.989 --> 42:28.142
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't get bought by the guy that, by the number two, you can't get bought by somebody underneath you.

42:28.865 --> 42:33.253
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that'd be crazy, but you never know, but Saudi Arabia, you know what?

42:33.333 --> 42:38.482
[SPEAKER_03]: They just drop live golf, but I do wonder like in WWE, do you want all of that?

42:38.622 --> 42:42.509
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, do many companies want to go shit with Saudi Arabia?

42:42.529 --> 42:43.971
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

42:43.951 --> 42:44.852
[SPEAKER_03]: I really don't know.

42:44.952 --> 42:48.396
[SPEAKER_03]: We shall see that is going to be the endgame for sure because they got the capital.

42:48.836 --> 42:55.964
[SPEAKER_03]: They have a limitless resources to buy anything they want to buy, but at the same time it's going to require television partners to line them.

42:56.004 --> 43:01.070
[SPEAKER_03]: They have them, but being in bed was Saudi fully, some companies might shy away from that.

43:01.110 --> 43:01.731
[SPEAKER_03]: We shall see.

43:01.791 --> 43:03.933
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Kerry notices the first time.

43:03.953 --> 43:11.882
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was 30 years of national expansion that WWE, the whole product, is a par from top to

43:11.862 --> 43:26.884
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say that elements of that is true, but I do think that as I predicted at the top of the year that WWE is at an inflection point, you know, and it's going to be dependent on fans because as I always said,

43:26.864 --> 43:30.449
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a difference between UFC fans and wrestling fans.

43:31.070 --> 43:36.017
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's about how much you will tolerate, how much you're willing to spend, and what is your ceiling?

43:36.037 --> 43:41.304
[SPEAKER_03]: Because you can complain about releases, and you can complain about the creative bit of all.

43:41.705 --> 43:48.815
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you're still buying tickets, if you're still watching the television on Netflix, you say, they see W every single week.

43:48.835 --> 43:51.218
[SPEAKER_03]: If you will still watch in the PLEs,

43:51.198 --> 43:56.688
[SPEAKER_03]: then what are you really proving to the company that you're still in the settle and watch any old thing?

43:57.169 --> 44:02.098
[SPEAKER_03]: So at some point that bubble has to burst for the fans to say when is enough enough?

44:02.659 --> 44:09.812
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you going to sign up for club WWE and get all this instant access to these tickets and these extra perks and stuff?

44:10.173 --> 44:15.282
[SPEAKER_03]: Like how far are you willing to go if things aren't

44:15.262 --> 44:19.129
[SPEAKER_03]: operating the way they should, what is your limit as a fan?

44:19.169 --> 44:29.929
[SPEAKER_03]: That is what fans have to ask themselves how long are you willing to put money into this machine when it's not giving you back a return that you want.

44:32.626 --> 44:33.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

44:33.507 --> 44:35.270
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're starting to see that now.

44:35.330 --> 44:43.703
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see how long TKO can hold out as far either the prices or the storylines or just who's still there.

44:44.243 --> 44:46.707
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Paulovic did re-up for now.

44:47.188 --> 44:53.697
[SPEAKER_03]: But as we all know in WWE contracts and guaranteed, you can level up for a year and then they could share your later.

44:54.278 --> 44:58.144
[SPEAKER_03]: They might ask Paulovic, you want to take a pay cut because

44:58.124 --> 44:59.846
[SPEAKER_03]: money's real skinny right now.

45:00.607 --> 45:05.693
[SPEAKER_03]: And as Kerry had also knows the best of online in all of WWE's AAA, a triple law is cooking.

45:07.856 --> 45:10.238
[SPEAKER_03]: Unitaker, potential booker of the year.

45:10.919 --> 45:19.730
[SPEAKER_03]: Triple law is cooking on Saturday and nights, the most simplistic, fun book show in WWE and our on triple law every night on YouTube.

45:20.671 --> 45:21.752
[SPEAKER_03]: On Saturday, I should say.

45:25.057 --> 45:29.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I want to take a likes that going out where about one hour.

45:29.323 --> 45:32.267
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

45:32.287 --> 45:35.632
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and Fernando, maybe WWE prepare my Sky Dance too much.

45:35.732 --> 45:38.696
[SPEAKER_03]: That Fernando, they're in so much debt.

45:38.716 --> 45:47.529
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, even if this deal goes through debt is bad, they need investors to get more money if they were to do that.

45:48.470 --> 45:49.872
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's tough for sure.

45:50.773 --> 45:51.334
[SPEAKER_03]: So.

45:52.445 --> 45:56.172
[SPEAKER_03]: We've made our peace with the new day, departing WWE.

45:56.793 --> 45:59.518
[SPEAKER_03]: We wish Xavier Woods and COVID-19 soon well.

46:00.079 --> 46:02.062
[SPEAKER_03]: They go and be our right to us and believe that.

46:02.142 --> 46:08.293
[SPEAKER_03]: They've done a great job in WWE, and they will flourish wherever they go next.

46:08.273 --> 46:14.528
[SPEAKER_03]: I do want to briefly touch on some highlights from Monday Night Raw from Omaha on Nebraska.

46:14.569 --> 46:21.265
[SPEAKER_03]: The go home show before WWE backlash going down this Saturday in Tampa, Florida on ESPN.

46:21.305 --> 46:24.493
[SPEAKER_03]: First hour will be airing on ESPN 2.

46:24.473 --> 46:42.043
[SPEAKER_03]: As is the Black PM first match, we'll be Braun Breaker versus Seth Rollins and the show kicked off with Braun beating up Seth, Seth tries to pay Braun back later in the show only for me to spear it again and the tension between Seth and the street profits continue, Scott.

46:43.947 --> 46:54.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm looking forward to this match, and I think this match would be very telling as far as who's going to, uh, well, what Bron Breaker has in store for his summer plans.

46:57.159 --> 46:59.021
[SPEAKER_03]: And summer plans, what, what may they be?

46:59.041 --> 47:06.668
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I, I think if you, if Bron Breaker wins this match, I think it's going to be him and whoever is champion at SummerSlam.

47:06.749 --> 47:11.473
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he goes after the belt at SummerSlam, and we might see a little bit of a youth movement going forward.

47:12.027 --> 47:14.769
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I can see that as well, very possible for sure.

47:15.210 --> 47:17.732
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll get to predictions for that match in a moment.

47:18.373 --> 47:29.643
[SPEAKER_03]: Elsewhere, we at SoRuka make her official main roster debut by setting our contract to Monday Night Raw, Becky Lynch into Rups, of course, trying to make the segment all about her.

47:30.524 --> 47:32.646
[SPEAKER_03]: And SoRuka calls her out for it.

47:33.166 --> 47:42.034
[SPEAKER_03]: And then in an unfortunate occurrence, I think nerves got the best of her because she's

47:42.014 --> 47:52.770
[SPEAKER_03]: messed up the soul snatcher from the jump, but she did, and I have people like joking, it's AI, it's not real, like it happened.

47:53.651 --> 48:00.501
[SPEAKER_03]: She'll be okay, but you want to hit that spot in the moment to truly make a count.

48:00.942 --> 48:02.244
[SPEAKER_03]: And you can't get it back.

48:02.384 --> 48:08.393
[SPEAKER_03]: I felt for her because it nerves nerves nerves, it got her a little bit, but she'll be okay.

48:08.373 --> 48:18.383
[SPEAKER_03]: He's got to take a deep breath settle down and know that you got this, it's okay, but yeah, that was a not great way to end the segment when she didn't hit it the way that she wanted to hit it.

48:21.552 --> 48:22.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be right.

48:23.615 --> 48:33.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, they might as well just turn into the story and just played up as nerds talk about it next week, getting front of it, led Becky Lynch, make fun of her for it.

48:33.370 --> 48:36.475
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when she hits it, make sure she stands over her looks at it.

48:36.555 --> 48:37.958
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that, was that better?

48:38.518 --> 48:42.885
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, I would, I would just completely play into it next week.

48:42.905 --> 48:43.186
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

48:43.206 --> 48:44.708
[SPEAKER_03]: I said, you laughing now.

48:45.633 --> 48:47.898
[SPEAKER_03]: my joke to you now like that.

48:48.078 --> 48:48.379
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

48:48.599 --> 48:48.840
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

48:48.920 --> 48:51.846
[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully they recover from that end due time.

48:52.587 --> 48:57.918
[SPEAKER_03]: Also on Monday night Raw, we had the Americonos versus the Americonos.

48:59.401 --> 48:59.982
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what?

49:01.726 --> 49:02.207
[SPEAKER_03]: We're good.

49:03.590 --> 49:04.091
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm good.

49:04.131 --> 49:05.734
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's keep this a trip along.

49:06.507 --> 49:19.928
[SPEAKER_03]: Just keep this where the heat is where the emotion is because when we bring this to Monday night raw, when we bring this to domestic television, it hit in the same because Undertaker's not here put his hot sauce on it.

49:20.228 --> 49:21.630
[SPEAKER_03]: So therefore we're good.

49:21.770 --> 49:23.573
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't need this on Monday night raw.

49:23.914 --> 49:33.308
[SPEAKER_03]: I know they're trying to cross promotes saying, can't touch a Mexico, but they can in the United States cool, but the Jews in the flavor ain't here.

49:33.760 --> 49:39.647
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just not the same and it's okay, just keep it in triple law, where are the longs?

49:42.911 --> 49:44.874
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's just complete opposite as well.

49:44.954 --> 49:53.845
[SPEAKER_00]: So once the storyline gets over, then we'll kind of move on from in Chad Gable can go back to just kind of be in the mini current ankle.

49:54.550 --> 50:03.022
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, to take the mask off, go back to being one of the elite wrestlers in the world, ball out the way that you should, because we'll learn those.

50:03.702 --> 50:07.227
[SPEAKER_03]: We need it on Monday night raw and Natalie's so right now elsewhere.

50:07.267 --> 50:12.615
[SPEAKER_03]: We have the Opafimi Open Challenge and the challenge of originally was going to be a cure to Zawa.

50:12.975 --> 50:18.803
[SPEAKER_03]: He quickly realized, I value my life and

50:18.783 --> 50:35.887
[SPEAKER_03]: over Femi laid this man out with a sickening up a cut and he said, you know what, I'm going to power bomb him, but I'm going to be intelligent by getting him on a middle rope, lifting him up and dropping out the power bomb for the victory and that popped the crowd.

50:35.907 --> 50:44.959
[SPEAKER_03]: I know there was some reservations about the open challenge, totally get it, but if you deliver horses to

50:44.939 --> 50:47.945
[SPEAKER_03]: this could work at a real challenge or steps up.

50:47.965 --> 50:50.810
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm hoping that one of these days, it will be shameless.

50:53.695 --> 50:54.937
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, shameless is a good one.

50:55.038 --> 50:58.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, moss is still out there, but yeah, this works really well.

50:58.083 --> 51:00.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Good way to start it off.

51:00.488 --> 51:02.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Otis is a big body to toss around.

51:02.571 --> 51:04.415
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a good visual for oh moss.

51:05.176 --> 51:08.382
[SPEAKER_00]: And the ruler continues to rule over Monday night.

51:08.733 --> 51:10.816
[SPEAKER_03]: He is a highlight for sure elsewhere.

51:10.856 --> 51:14.460
[SPEAKER_03]: We had all ego-eaten page and Rusev defeat.

51:14.781 --> 51:20.568
[SPEAKER_03]: The IC Champion Pinta and Javant Evans to build towards maybe a fit of four-way.

51:20.969 --> 51:30.021
[SPEAKER_03]: For the IC title at some point very soon, won't be a backlash because, of course, we have a five match minimum.

51:30.041 --> 51:32.564
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the Rusev is in page pairing is pretty good.

51:32.624 --> 51:37.390
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one that I hope they continue to run with in kind of let flourish a little bit.

51:38.247 --> 51:50.024
[SPEAKER_03]: meet to love the chemistry and, of course, I want Javan to win a single title sometime in WWE this year, they're slow burning it obviously, hopefully they pay it off as some point as well.

51:50.745 --> 51:58.176
[SPEAKER_03]: Then we had our main event segment, the contract signing between the World Heavy Champion, Roman Reigns, and the Challenger Jacob Fattu.

51:58.757 --> 52:06.668
[SPEAKER_03]: I will be honest, they said words, words I heard before,

52:07.610 --> 52:08.877
[SPEAKER_03]: Jacob up that ass.

52:09.842 --> 52:11.330
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's so losing on Saturday.

52:11.370 --> 52:15.291
[SPEAKER_03]: But hey, at least he got one over on Roman again to close the show.

52:17.853 --> 52:24.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think they it's just hard to to be built up against Roman Reigns at this point.

52:24.982 --> 52:26.504
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's on a whole different level.

52:26.924 --> 52:36.015
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you're not a top tier either baby face or you're not a heel who can just give massive heat against him, you're going to have a hard time.

52:36.075 --> 52:37.657
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think five two's on a good job.

52:37.738 --> 52:41.722
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they've done as much as they can in a limited amount of time of building him up.

52:41.742 --> 52:45.447
[SPEAKER_00]: He took out the whole MFTs by himself and he

52:45.427 --> 52:49.693
[SPEAKER_00]: basically had Roman Reigns bag and Adam Pierce to get this man off for me.

52:49.713 --> 52:50.414
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes.

52:50.634 --> 52:53.037
[SPEAKER_00]: That's about as much as you can do in a couple weeks.

52:54.119 --> 52:55.040
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's impressive.

52:55.180 --> 53:01.949
[SPEAKER_03]: It won't result in a title change, but it does like, you know, give you the possibility of what could be, even though it won't be.

53:02.510 --> 53:14.826
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's how you build a challenger up to be dangerous to be someone that Roman should be scared of to the point that he's asking for Adam Pierce to help me, please give this man off me,

53:15.397 --> 53:16.438
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how the show ended.

53:16.478 --> 53:20.203
[SPEAKER_03]: Just a promo didn't do much for me a little bit but done, didn't like we heard this before.

53:20.643 --> 53:23.787
[SPEAKER_03]: Then scratch your new ground or surface in that regard.

53:23.847 --> 53:26.631
[SPEAKER_03]: But the main event should be very good on Saturday night.

53:27.091 --> 53:31.957
[SPEAKER_03]: And it should be noted that before the show started, Roman wanted to come out there first because he was hot after last week.

53:32.698 --> 53:36.342
[SPEAKER_03]: And he ran into his old enemy Seth Rollins.

53:37.283 --> 53:41.168
[SPEAKER_03]: So down the road, they're going to pay off that match.

53:43.780 --> 53:50.646
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, that's Russell made in next year or 2028 because it's Saudi Mania, you know, we're not going to get that.

53:53.108 --> 53:57.752
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to get that if if the rocks not rust on Rome, we're going to get that.

53:58.093 --> 54:02.757
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we're going to get the rock wrestling because they're going to pay that man 30 million dollars to wrestle his cousin.

54:05.519 --> 54:05.939
[SPEAKER_01]: How's cool?

54:06.400 --> 54:12.285
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm where I don't cool for the for the eight minutes

54:14.341 --> 54:22.050
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, the principle like an on me 15, any 15 of paying you 30, I need 15 to be Duane.

54:23.652 --> 54:25.174
[SPEAKER_00]: The first five will just be poses.

54:25.194 --> 54:35.947
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll just be looking back and forth, just like the rock and hug and just looking back and forth, walk around, test strings, one person knocks the other in the corner, shoulder tackle.

54:36.408 --> 54:38.290
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the first six minutes right there.

54:39.029 --> 54:39.470
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

54:39.791 --> 54:47.165
[SPEAKER_03]: And then after that, they'll milk the camera, they'll milk the face off their cell and they do their finishes for a bit.

54:47.205 --> 54:49.470
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's what they do in that situation for sure.

54:49.490 --> 54:50.832
[SPEAKER_03]: I can expect.

54:51.594 --> 55:01.273
[SPEAKER_03]: But before we dive into the backlash predictions, I do want to note another departure Scott, a sad departure.

55:01.777 --> 55:03.700
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, this one was stunning.

55:04.821 --> 55:14.333
[SPEAKER_03]: I did not expect to see this on Friday night smack down, but I did, and we have to talk about this on be very serious for a moment to quote Lance storm.

55:15.054 --> 55:22.384
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I want to remark the passing of the gingerbread man.

55:27.595 --> 55:31.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that's about as healers of a movie as you can do.

55:31.662 --> 55:34.546
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess Sammy Zain's full blown heel now in my book.

55:35.528 --> 55:37.071
[SPEAKER_03]: Me killed the gingerbread man.

55:39.515 --> 55:39.935
[SPEAKER_03]: killed him.

55:42.479 --> 55:42.980
[SPEAKER_03]: Marked him.

55:45.765 --> 55:47.548
[SPEAKER_03]: It was sad, man.

55:47.968 --> 55:50.813
[SPEAKER_03]: The graphic, it did a graphic, man.

55:51.414 --> 55:54.379
[SPEAKER_03]: And the had ginger at the pearly gates.

55:55.017 --> 55:58.480
[SPEAKER_03]: And we have a home going ceremony for him on SmackDown on Friday.

55:58.500 --> 56:07.008
[SPEAKER_03]: I need tricking all black to celebrate this man's life and what he gave and commemorate his gumdrops.

56:10.972 --> 56:19.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I guess they really going with the double turn right here because the crowd's going to get pretty excited when the trick comes out to say it's a gingerbread man.

56:20.601 --> 56:21.742
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, he's dead Scott.

56:21.782 --> 56:23.303
[SPEAKER_03]: He can't save him.

56:23.418 --> 56:24.760
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, he's going to bring him back to life.

56:24.780 --> 56:25.862
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to bring up and out.

56:25.882 --> 56:27.083
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to put him back in the oven.

56:27.103 --> 56:30.408
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just going to reheat him up.

56:30.428 --> 56:32.752
[SPEAKER_03]: So what you're saying is he's going to rise from the casket.

56:32.912 --> 56:33.573
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm alive.

56:33.613 --> 56:34.975
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm back.

56:35.355 --> 56:37.058
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just put the casket in the microwave.

56:37.599 --> 56:38.300
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

56:38.340 --> 56:39.862
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, morbid.

56:39.922 --> 56:41.845
[SPEAKER_03]: Very morbid of you.

56:42.426 --> 56:44.148
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't you know he's going to melt if you do that?

56:47.092 --> 56:48.334
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's fine.

56:49.836 --> 56:53.121
[SPEAKER_03]: You're cremating the gingerbread man.

56:53.438 --> 56:54.500
[SPEAKER_01]: That's okay.

56:54.520 --> 56:58.527
[SPEAKER_03]: My God, thankful God, rude, very rude.

56:59.048 --> 57:02.735
[SPEAKER_03]: Joe Tess breaking sent me because that make and it could not keep it together.

57:03.116 --> 57:08.586
[SPEAKER_03]: When that picture came up, he was going, like, how can you even explain what this was?

57:11.371 --> 57:13.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's why I started laughing because he was like, well, I can't explain it.

57:14.016 --> 57:16.020
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just going to laugh through my segment.

57:16.945 --> 57:17.826
[SPEAKER_03]: and he did.

57:17.866 --> 57:19.047
[SPEAKER_03]: He absolutely did.

57:19.067 --> 57:26.874
[SPEAKER_03]: All righty, now it is time to officially dive into the backlash 2026 preview and predictions.

57:27.575 --> 57:45.231
[SPEAKER_03]: Things we expect to possibly maybe happen this Saturday at backlash kicking off the first hour on ESPN DOS at 6 o'clock PM Eastern and this is the card as of right now,

57:45.211 --> 57:49.760
[SPEAKER_03]: on ESPN DOS, Seth Rollins vs. Brown Breaker.

57:49.780 --> 57:59.440
[SPEAKER_03]: I got because of how the show went about tonight, Seth.

58:01.394 --> 58:02.236
[SPEAKER_00]: I got brawn.

58:02.496 --> 58:06.103
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he thinks he gets back on track and we start Seth.

58:06.123 --> 58:17.965
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Seth Rollins story is going to be very similar to when he's turned baby face after he was the ultimate opportunist for the longest time after he cashed in after his title run.

58:18.005 --> 58:23.335
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think he slow burns his baby face weighs back, but he's going to lose this to brawn breaker.

58:24.310 --> 58:39.592
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I would have said that if you didn't get beat down twice in the same show as I'm leaning towards Seth because you know that WWE booking psychology tells you if you're down the days before the pay per view appeal, you're going to most likely win your match.

58:40.133 --> 58:43.678
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why I got Seth unless they triple down on Ron Breaker by winning.

58:43.698 --> 58:44.799
[SPEAKER_03]: We shall see.

58:44.819 --> 58:45.480
[SPEAKER_03]: But I got Seth.

58:45.521 --> 58:46.282
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'll let this split.

58:46.302 --> 58:47.644
[SPEAKER_03]: We're at a difference here.

58:47.684 --> 58:54.233
[SPEAKER_03]: Regardless, who's going to win this match, which brings us to match number two, eosci versus

58:54.213 --> 58:57.818
[SPEAKER_03]: to culminate there for you this has been going on for months.

58:57.838 --> 59:00.823
[SPEAKER_03]: And I got EOS sky winning this match.

59:04.048 --> 59:07.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and with you, I got EOS sky as well.

59:08.674 --> 59:10.858
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it should be a pretty decisive victory as well.

59:12.079 --> 59:12.821
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so.

59:12.841 --> 59:13.421
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so.

59:13.441 --> 59:17.908
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think Kyrie's saying comes back to at least complete this storyline?

59:20.217 --> 59:47.524
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... i think we get an insane elbow uh... i think i think i bet you you sky throws one of those out of uh... to to kind of give her a little love but i don't think i re-show them the streets are saying fifty fifty we shall see just pay off the story but we shall see i want to come back you could meet at your damn i do what this is a new contract and come back to shit but never mind elsewhere

59:48.179 --> 59:56.830
[SPEAKER_03]: trick Williams with Lil Yaddy versus Sammy Zane and a rematch for the WWE United States Championship.

59:57.050 --> 59:58.592
[SPEAKER_03]: I got trick.

01:00:02.917 --> 01:00:10.286
[SPEAKER_00]: I think trick too, but man, something telling me that Sammy Zane's gonna kick him in the balls and get this title back, man.

01:00:10.366 --> 01:00:17.275
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got this really bad feeling that Sammy's getting that title back.

01:00:17.474 --> 01:00:24.947
[SPEAKER_00]: a big moment at WrestleMania and then now Sam is going to be healing at the title back and make church chase.

01:00:25.268 --> 01:00:29.455
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Sammy gets a title back.

01:00:32.721 --> 01:00:33.221
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

01:00:35.726 --> 01:00:36.507
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope I'm wrong.

01:00:36.587 --> 01:00:39.853
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Sammy completes that heel turn and gets the title back.

01:00:40.610 --> 01:00:52.647
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I'm also thinking the possibility of Sammy versus Cody later in the year two because they still talking later in the year two because Cody's talking spicy saying we ain't alike.

01:00:53.868 --> 01:00:55.510
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not the last of a dying breed.

01:00:55.550 --> 01:00:56.812
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not the last of the good guys.

01:00:57.073 --> 01:00:57.994
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a good guy.

01:00:58.034 --> 01:00:58.795
[SPEAKER_03]: Who are you?

01:00:59.916 --> 01:01:00.958
[SPEAKER_03]: You talking shit about me?

01:01:01.799 --> 01:01:02.800
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm the golden boy.

01:01:02.820 --> 01:01:03.702
[SPEAKER_03]: You think I'm gonna let that slide?

01:01:03.762 --> 01:01:06.145
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I think they're

01:01:06.496 --> 01:01:14.047
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that it's frosty and it's cold with his hell when we see Sammy turning heel, but the animal choice man.

01:01:14.508 --> 01:01:17.632
[SPEAKER_03]: The man was bitched out as a baby face.

01:01:17.652 --> 01:01:20.817
[SPEAKER_03]: The man lost 25 times the Drew McIntyre.

01:01:21.338 --> 01:01:22.499
[SPEAKER_03]: What else was going to do?

01:01:22.539 --> 01:01:25.143
[SPEAKER_03]: What else were we going to do with them?

01:01:25.964 --> 01:01:26.826
[SPEAKER_03]: We had to pivot.

01:01:30.010 --> 01:01:30.110
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:01:30.130 --> 01:01:31.272
[SPEAKER_03]: Now Fernando.

01:01:33.277 --> 01:01:40.270
[SPEAKER_03]: The cookie monster will appear and call out Sammy for revenge for the gingerbread man.

01:01:40.711 --> 01:01:48.025
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, they got to get Sesame Street money to pull up cookie monster and cookie monsters in cookies and moderation now.

01:01:48.265 --> 01:01:55.960
[SPEAKER_03]: The man's on a vegetable diet in lean so we'll see.

01:01:56.378 --> 01:01:58.242
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, just keep that to yourself.

01:01:58.302 --> 01:02:00.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's how much of he ought to die.

01:02:00.567 --> 01:02:05.758
[SPEAKER_00]: He only, I don't want to hear about because he wants to be already died, eating lean.

01:02:06.099 --> 01:02:09.245
[SPEAKER_00]: He better not be vegan cookies.

01:02:09.666 --> 01:02:12.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he was, what do we do with it?

01:02:12.272 --> 01:02:13.073
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop it.

01:02:13.093 --> 01:02:16.260
[SPEAKER_03]: He's eating broccoli, Brussels sprouts.

01:02:17.152 --> 01:02:18.435
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not the healthy monster.

01:02:18.455 --> 01:02:19.477
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the cookie monster.

01:02:19.497 --> 01:02:22.583
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't eat nothing but cookies.

01:02:22.603 --> 01:02:24.407
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but he is listen.

01:02:25.008 --> 01:02:29.137
[SPEAKER_03]: They wrote him to say, he was into much cookies.

01:02:29.557 --> 01:02:30.660
[SPEAKER_03]: It was unhealthy.

01:02:31.261 --> 01:02:34.688
[SPEAKER_03]: See if he had a balanced diet, man, you got to eat one cookie a day.

01:02:35.782 --> 01:02:40.194
[SPEAKER_00]: one cookie a day, I don't even, I don't even just have one cookie per sitting.

01:02:40.595 --> 01:02:41.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.

01:02:41.738 --> 01:02:43.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what are we talking about one per day?

01:02:43.523 --> 01:02:43.964
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what?

01:02:44.305 --> 01:02:46.531
[SPEAKER_01]: This is why I don't know my kids why I'm so sure.

01:02:46.832 --> 01:02:51.023
[SPEAKER_01]: And, and now you just reaffirm this that they will never be watching such a mystery.

01:02:51.003 --> 01:02:54.707
[SPEAKER_03]: shame on you, listen, the classics on YouTube.

01:02:55.087 --> 01:02:58.650
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want your traditional cookie monster, eat those cookies all the time, okay?

01:02:59.471 --> 01:03:03.635
[SPEAKER_03]: Rice cake monster, thank you Fernando, line of the night, rice cake monster.

01:03:03.855 --> 01:03:04.676
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me tell you something.

01:03:05.297 --> 01:03:10.802
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying, I went to Croger, they are the weak man, and they have love with up the rice cakes, man.

01:03:11.383 --> 01:03:15.507
[SPEAKER_03]: Flavorful, little fluffier, come on, man.

01:03:18.710 --> 01:03:20.031
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's crazy.

01:03:20.939 --> 01:03:24.143
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Scott's like, shame, shame.

01:03:24.163 --> 01:03:32.674
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so I got trick will you was winning the spite Scott saying, it's a possible Samu Zain upset to solidify this hill turn.

01:03:32.714 --> 01:03:33.175
[SPEAKER_03]: We shall see.

01:03:33.896 --> 01:03:35.197
[SPEAKER_03]: One shock of me, but we shall see.

01:03:35.858 --> 01:03:38.582
[SPEAKER_03]: Then our next match, Dan House and Versus, should be determined.

01:03:39.783 --> 01:03:42.326
[SPEAKER_03]: Versus the Miz and Kid Wilson and ATAG team match.

01:03:42.406 --> 01:03:44.449
[SPEAKER_03]: I got Dan House and Versus whoever.

01:03:48.783 --> 01:04:09.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, then how's it's going to win Gomez and it's going to do what he does best and get somebody else over and as far as who he's going to pick, I don't know, it's got to be somebody decent decent of name value, but not really sure who that would be.

01:04:09.488 --> 01:04:16.643
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it makes me wonder, too, like, who are you gonna bring out to be your taxing partner willingly for this match?

01:04:16.683 --> 01:04:17.805
[SPEAKER_03]: It better not be no jelly roll.

01:04:18.387 --> 01:04:19.629
[SPEAKER_03]: I swear to God, it better not.

01:04:20.311 --> 01:04:20.872
[SPEAKER_03]: But we'll see.

01:04:21.774 --> 01:04:22.435
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see.

01:04:23.157 --> 01:04:26.861
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, generally, in doing nothing right now, because that tour got canceled, but never mind.

01:04:26.961 --> 01:04:27.762
[SPEAKER_03]: He asked time.

01:04:28.242 --> 01:04:29.083
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, number time.

01:04:29.544 --> 01:04:42.677
[SPEAKER_03]: But let's bring forth the main event of this show, which is Roman Reigns, the World Heavyweight Championship for Nanos as Mr. Aguana, possibly, possibly, as Denhausen's partner.

01:04:43.098 --> 01:04:46.601
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, that is licensed to print money, those two together.

01:04:47.883 --> 01:04:50.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't hate that at all, actually.

01:04:50.933 --> 01:04:52.354
[SPEAKER_03]: Same here, same here.

01:04:53.596 --> 01:04:57.900
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's Roman Reigns, our world, heavyweight champion versus Jacob Pattu.

01:04:58.941 --> 01:05:04.406
[SPEAKER_03]: Before Roman goes on vacation for the month of June, he will win this match.

01:05:05.488 --> 01:05:10.252
[SPEAKER_03]: And I at least saw it.

01:05:10.272 --> 01:05:11.634
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna go with Jacob Pattu.

01:05:13.135 --> 01:05:14.677
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going for the upset.

01:05:15.117 --> 01:05:19.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm making a big bet right here on Pattu.

01:05:21.376 --> 01:05:24.620
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they, I think he wins the match.

01:05:24.640 --> 01:05:26.863
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he becomes a new tribal chief.

01:05:26.883 --> 01:05:27.845
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he takes it all.

01:05:28.045 --> 01:05:28.686
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants it all.

01:05:28.706 --> 01:05:29.326
[SPEAKER_00]: He takes it all.

01:05:29.367 --> 01:05:30.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Roman's taking the month off.

01:05:30.608 --> 01:05:35.054
[SPEAKER_00]: Roman said he's not doing no sawty shows Jacob will.

01:05:35.655 --> 01:05:36.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jacob wins the belt.

01:05:39.240 --> 01:05:40.782
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, you being very bold.

01:05:40.802 --> 01:05:41.763
[SPEAKER_03]: We are reconvened.

01:05:42.384 --> 01:05:44.627
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's going to be a post show live this weekend.

01:05:44.667 --> 01:05:47.991
[SPEAKER_03]: If we're hosting it, let's see if Scott's right.

01:05:48.848 --> 01:05:52.412
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's say if he's a prophet, he's making some bold predictions here.

01:05:52.432 --> 01:06:01.884
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, as we saw, when someone is choked out laid out multiple times, we have to lean towards that person winning their match.

01:06:01.964 --> 01:06:02.645
[SPEAKER_03]: So we shall see.

01:06:03.606 --> 01:06:08.773
[SPEAKER_03]: So for Nader asks a question, will we ever know for sure who took out Jacob?

01:06:09.454 --> 01:06:09.674
[SPEAKER_03]: No.

01:06:10.695 --> 01:06:13.318
[SPEAKER_03]: That is an unsolved mystery at this point.

01:06:15.421 --> 01:06:17.083
[SPEAKER_00]: No, we know who did it, it was AI.

01:06:20.168 --> 01:06:21.991
[SPEAKER_03]: Copilot did it there.

01:06:22.352 --> 01:06:23.053
[SPEAKER_03]: We know who did it.

01:06:23.674 --> 01:06:24.476
[SPEAKER_03]: Jim and I did it.

01:06:24.496 --> 01:06:25.397
[SPEAKER_03]: That's who did it.

01:06:25.758 --> 01:06:32.390
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course it was because AI is confirmed to be used in WWE creative meetings.

01:06:32.450 --> 01:06:32.891
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course.

01:06:33.512 --> 01:06:35.335
[SPEAKER_03]: So yes, AI is responsible.

01:06:35.756 --> 01:06:36.878
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

01:06:37.398 --> 01:06:39.262
[SPEAKER_03]: Alrighty, so those are our predictions.

01:06:39.402 --> 01:06:40.364
[SPEAKER_03]: Scott went bold.

01:06:40.484 --> 01:06:41.126
[SPEAKER_03]: I went safe.

01:06:41.206 --> 01:06:51.427
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see who fares out on the other side and reconvene after to show hopefully this weekend right here on the fake media network YouTube channel.

01:06:51.447 --> 01:06:56.638
[SPEAKER_03]: But with that, that is a wrap for the wrap right here on this very network.
