00:54.789 --> 00:56.231
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited about the conversation.

00:56.291 --> 00:58.033
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to have

00:58.705 --> 01:08.057
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, it should be a nice fun show and I'm glad that my computer is not the only one that watches nowadays.

01:08.442 --> 01:16.292
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, your computer has a history of pulling a remissory of bouillacogging off the air for you.

01:16.352 --> 01:22.599
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, tonight was a very special addition of Batchamania in XT style.

01:22.639 --> 01:24.902
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that in just a moment.

01:24.922 --> 01:27.345
[SPEAKER_00]: But have you recovered from Saturday's Scott?

01:27.365 --> 01:28.086
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you okay?

01:28.146 --> 01:31.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I know a lot of people were going through it on Saturday.

01:31.730 --> 01:33.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think by Sunday, maybe

01:33.873 --> 01:45.621
[SPEAKER_00]: calmness kind of rain supreme settler in a bit are you okay have you chilled out have you relaxed have you reached a zin place after the events of Saturday night's main event.

01:47.828 --> 01:53.675
[SPEAKER_02]: I was good from the moment John Cena gave, you know, tapped out, clocked out for good.

01:54.456 --> 01:56.678
[SPEAKER_02]: And I felt vindicated after Monday.

01:57.079 --> 02:01.183
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I thought it was great.

02:01.544 --> 02:02.825
[SPEAKER_02]: I still feel like it was great.

02:03.266 --> 02:14.038
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like Gunther, solidified, and again, vindicated that decision and everybody who agreed with it because that was arguably one of the best

02:14.238 --> 02:33.917
[SPEAKER_01]: bromos we have seen all year didn't say a lot of it said we didn't need to say and then we got your boy the the worst GM in wrestling given him vacation because he did because he wanted match the right way clean in the middle of the ring What a boss

02:35.281 --> 02:44.273
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we'll get distracted adding in a moment because, you know, what, even I could not put up my shield and protect him on Monday night raw.

02:44.753 --> 02:56.748
[SPEAKER_00]: He irritated me so much because he got mad at the nerve for a man winning fair and square and talking match it about it.

02:56.789 --> 03:00.293
[SPEAKER_00]: He got upset that a man won honorably.

03:00.273 --> 03:05.548
[SPEAKER_00]: didn't cheat one fair and square and just said, I just tapped them out.

03:06.571 --> 03:07.053
[SPEAKER_00]: And what?

03:07.093 --> 03:08.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Which will mean it do?

03:08.898 --> 03:09.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Be humble?

03:10.297 --> 03:11.759
[SPEAKER_00]: not Kendrick, please.

03:12.280 --> 03:16.004
[SPEAKER_00]: So I will get to scrap daddy in a moment.

03:16.044 --> 03:17.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't you worry about it.

03:17.066 --> 03:18.808
[SPEAKER_00]: I will get to him shortly.

03:19.148 --> 03:21.832
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do want to go back in time a little bit because I'm okay too.

03:22.292 --> 03:23.854
[SPEAKER_00]: I was cool with the finish of Saturday.

03:23.894 --> 03:32.305
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm even cooler with that after Monday night Raw, which was a great start that show itself, choices, but a great start.

03:32.285 --> 03:34.569
[SPEAKER_00]: that laid the foundation for the next retirement tour.

03:35.230 --> 03:39.998
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's briefly touch on SmackDown from this past Friday night.

03:40.419 --> 03:52.821
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do want to single out one match in particular, which was Ilya Draganov versus Tomas the Champa Four, the United States Championship, a bruising, violent battle, which I greatly enjoyed.

03:52.841 --> 03:56.487
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not only in nature, both guys worked stiff,

03:56.467 --> 04:00.512
[SPEAKER_00]: They were slapping, they were hitting, there was blood, I enjoyed it.

04:00.892 --> 04:05.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And then what I enjoyed the most, actually, was to post match.

04:05.778 --> 04:08.441
[SPEAKER_00]: When Chopper wasn't happy with the finish, she got jumped.

04:08.461 --> 04:12.546
[SPEAKER_00]: He jumped, dragging it off and Johnny Gawna joined it on the beat down as well.

04:13.007 --> 04:16.551
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Carmelo Hayes made the safe.

04:17.412 --> 04:22.238
[SPEAKER_00]: And on this night, the fans understood the assignment.

04:22.387 --> 04:32.785
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand the assignment when it came to Javad Evans later on the show, but they understood the assignment of understanding that Melo got over, not because of the miss.

04:32.845 --> 04:40.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just clarify that right now, not because of Mike, because they have not had a match, and hopefully it never happens, because that would be bad, you'd you.

04:40.579 --> 04:42.302
[SPEAKER_00]: But he came out there.

04:42.282 --> 04:48.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Got a heroes welcome, got the mellow chant is getting over as an organic baby face.

04:48.891 --> 04:49.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for it.

04:50.453 --> 05:04.493
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they play their cards right down the line, we get a rematch for the US championship dragon off mellow part five and mellow gets to dub and becomes a new champion.

05:04.945 --> 05:12.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to see it, but I love hearing the cheers of a man being over because this has been a journey.

05:16.268 --> 05:18.151
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the match was strong.

05:18.332 --> 05:20.255
[SPEAKER_02]: This was old Champa.

05:20.315 --> 05:26.867
[SPEAKER_02]: He used to walk out with no music holding this precious violent physical dragon off wrestling.

05:26.887 --> 05:29.191
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's only got a couple years left in the game.

05:29.892 --> 05:38.327
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so this dude is just throwing everything against the wall and he's like, yeah, even my head.

05:38.307 --> 05:45.295
[SPEAKER_02]: I will, mellow is, is the, the, the slow burn, the organic build, the crowd getting behind them.

05:45.315 --> 05:53.284
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know you don't want to admit it, but the myth that is job, people don't like the myth is, and people want to the cheer mellow.

05:54.265 --> 05:55.827
[SPEAKER_02]: We probably don't need to see the match.

05:56.307 --> 05:58.370
[SPEAKER_02]: Myth is already done enough.

05:58.770 --> 06:00.893
[SPEAKER_02]: He's an established veteran who people really respect.

06:00.913 --> 06:03.275
[SPEAKER_02]: And we saw that later on in the show, sorry, Javon.

06:03.896 --> 06:07.420
[SPEAKER_02]: But, um, yeah, that I mean,

06:07.400 --> 06:09.622
[SPEAKER_02]: mellow is going to be just fine.

06:10.963 --> 06:14.266
[SPEAKER_02]: They probably don't have any big plans for him and that's that's okay.

06:14.667 --> 06:36.647
[SPEAKER_02]: If he continues this story with Ilya, I do think the US title is in his future, whether it be outside interference, or whether he just pulls the upset victory, but they've done a good job of building him up, making this the crowd sympathetic to him to the point where

06:37.927 --> 07:00.660
[SPEAKER_00]: copilot come through it was not road dog because please let's be for real because this man cannot let go of still feuds which we'll get to in just a moment but i'm very happy for mellow had that ishaan look very clean out there with the save as well so i'm happy for him i can do mild acknowledgement that Mike did

07:00.809 --> 07:25.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, he did okay getting mellow over that never resulted in a 101 match, which I'm cool with because if I get what I got with Javon on Friday, they can keep that because the Wilkesboro fans do not understand that a scientist or bothers me even stopped a diehard miss fan openly admitted on the live microphone, even he was confused by what was going on.

07:25.225 --> 07:29.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause a man getting that kind of heat, please.

07:30.323 --> 07:43.237
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we know why we don't have to talk about it, but we don't have to talk about it, but we know why the reaction was what it was.

07:44.158 --> 07:44.478
[SPEAKER_04]: Please.

07:46.080 --> 07:47.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, Fernando.

07:47.801 --> 07:48.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome.

07:49.023 --> 07:49.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Good evening to you.

07:50.464 --> 07:58.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Scott's trying to deflect, but we're going to get back on track now because we got some unfortunate news by way of Michael Cole.

07:58.673 --> 08:07.746
[SPEAKER_00]: and he sounded so excited to get somber at the same time to let us know that Smackdown is going to three hours in a couple of weeks.

08:08.227 --> 08:14.796
[SPEAKER_00]: So that means by 930 I will be asleep because me and Smackdown in three hours we don't coexist.

08:14.856 --> 08:16.198
[SPEAKER_00]: We cannot get along.

08:16.218 --> 08:17.801
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be knocked out.

08:18.362 --> 08:22.808
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was thinking to myself, what can they do outside of AI?

08:22.788 --> 08:25.733
[SPEAKER_00]: and co-pilot to really help this show along.

08:26.114 --> 08:29.239
[SPEAKER_00]: So we know they've been teasing an XT call-ups for quite some time.

08:29.720 --> 08:38.755
[SPEAKER_00]: So Scott, who do you think can get the rub on SmackDown by way of an XT call-up at long last?

08:41.738 --> 08:47.971
[SPEAKER_02]: I think honestly, I think somebody like Ethan Page would really benefit from being called up.

08:48.532 --> 08:54.845
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing really well in NXT, but I think him being called up maybe being paired with Chelsea Green.

08:54.885 --> 08:57.189
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that would be beneficial.

08:57.230 --> 09:03.342
[SPEAKER_02]: He can eat up a lot of time, he can eat up multiple segments, so that's somebody who I would call up.

09:03.322 --> 09:20.365
[SPEAKER_02]: trick Williams is also somebody who I think could really benefit from having that extra time will smack down Ricky Saints like you need you need if you're going to go to three hours you need people who can fill multiple segments who can talk for a couple segments and then go and rest later on in the show.

09:21.546 --> 09:24.250
[SPEAKER_02]: I think those three can do it if you want to talk on the women.

09:24.601 --> 09:26.903
[SPEAKER_02]: Matt, fatal influence, man.

09:26.923 --> 09:37.713
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they are really growing on me as a whole, J.C. And even the other, the other, um, valent Henley and, um, what's the third one always?

09:37.733 --> 09:39.174
[SPEAKER_02]: Laney, Laney.

09:39.234 --> 09:40.255
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to call her L.C.

09:40.675 --> 09:43.178
[SPEAKER_02]: Laney, they're actually a really good tag team.

09:43.238 --> 09:46.621
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the three of them could really feel some time on that women's side.

09:46.641 --> 09:54.608
[SPEAKER_02]: So those would be the acts that I would call up acts that you can feel multiple segments with, whether it's talking, or whether it's in-ring,

09:54.588 --> 09:56.993
[SPEAKER_02]: you're going to need to fill that time.

09:57.654 --> 10:08.616
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Obo would do better on like a raw or something like that, but those are the ones I would really call up because Ethan can work with Chelsea and they're a beautiful pairing, so that's what I would do with that third hour.

10:08.796 --> 10:09.979
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we already know what they're going to do.

10:09.999 --> 10:14.267
[SPEAKER_02]: First hour is going to be triple H, second hour is going to be co-pilot, third hour is going to be road dog.

10:15.462 --> 10:22.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Triple H being very brazen to bring himself back on television after what has happened is he scared to go back out there.

10:22.813 --> 10:28.601
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know we shall see great choice Fernando Jordan Grace for the love of God.

10:28.641 --> 10:29.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's what you're on smack down.

10:29.923 --> 10:30.905
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a great choice as well.

10:31.706 --> 10:35.952
[SPEAKER_00]: I am buying into all the JC James stock.

10:35.932 --> 10:39.236
[SPEAKER_00]: She's really impressed me this year when she won the championship.

10:39.256 --> 10:45.763
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't take it seriously, would she won because it was out of nowhere when she'd be Stephanie Vicarre, but she won the championship.

10:45.803 --> 10:50.348
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, watch me work and she has the confidence to work rate.

10:50.509 --> 10:56.355
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything is complete with her and Falun has been ready for a long time and even leaning.

10:56.916 --> 11:00.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to say, because I've been kind of iffy on her, she is growing too.

11:00.460 --> 11:03.323
[SPEAKER_00]: She was better than who was ever there before.

11:03.303 --> 11:10.056
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a complete mix and I'm not opposed to the joining the main roster as a full unit.

11:10.457 --> 11:15.988
[SPEAKER_00]: We they smack down these some space in that one misdivision and I think that J.C. and J.A.

11:16.008 --> 11:17.751
[SPEAKER_00]: can really go bar for bar on a mic.

11:18.112 --> 11:19.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe that too.

11:21.545 --> 11:41.477
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't disagree with you and I just them as a trio like we don't have a lot of units out there and the women's division right now we have a lot of tag teams will we don't have a lot of units and those three could bring something very different to to that main roster and so I really I those three I think is the main one Ethan page though he's the guy.

11:41.457 --> 11:48.712
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy who could literally fill an hour of a show, whether it's the first 30 minutes, 15 minutes here in the middle and you know, close out of show.

11:49.112 --> 11:53.982
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy that I think they could really build that entire show around if they chose to.

11:54.147 --> 12:08.688
[SPEAKER_00]: a great, he's really good, great wrestler, great personality getting over with the people to being appreciated for being a workhorse, going out there, doing the grind, putting on great matches, getting people over in the process, love that for him.

12:08.708 --> 12:18.682
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think Javan is going on a rock scourge in more so than SmackDown, which might be for the best because I don't trust road dogs booking with Javan on SmackDown.

12:19.023 --> 12:22.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get him on Monday,

12:25.214 --> 12:30.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you know what, we just talked about it, mellow is another guy who could probably, you know, benefit from that.

12:30.602 --> 12:32.245
[SPEAKER_02]: He could get some more promo time.

12:32.605 --> 12:37.172
[SPEAKER_02]: He could really be able to have something to sink his teeth into in case this idiot thing doesn't work out.

12:37.493 --> 12:38.835
[SPEAKER_02]: He can still find a program.

12:38.875 --> 12:44.223
[SPEAKER_02]: So, they have options, you know, unfortunately, we're probably going to get stuck with an hour long.

12:44.984 --> 12:50.412
[SPEAKER_02]: Iron Man match between Drew McIntyre Cody Rhodes, but you know, there are other options that could happen.

12:51.252 --> 12:51.653
[SPEAKER_00]: God.

12:52.474 --> 13:05.819
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's sad when I say, oh, my God, and just take a deep breath when you talk about an Iron Man match between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes, two guys that I love, but my Lord who can both go in the match really good.

13:05.839 --> 13:07.422
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just unnecessary.

13:07.402 --> 13:08.485
[SPEAKER_00]: unnecessary.

13:08.525 --> 13:10.229
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm tapped out emotionally.

13:10.329 --> 13:10.991
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm drained.

13:11.111 --> 13:11.873
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.

13:11.914 --> 13:12.756
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm disconnected.

13:12.796 --> 13:16.325
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a motionless and now they're going to continue this feud.

13:16.345 --> 13:20.496
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like Damian Priest and Alistair Black with a love of Christ in this feud.

13:20.917 --> 13:23.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw the spoilers to SmackDown for Friday.

13:23.804 --> 13:27.949
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the feud that will never die in it.

13:28.430 --> 13:33.917
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been going on for months and the fact that you can even get on a PLE to kill this thing off speaks volumes.

13:34.218 --> 13:40.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Like road dog, your problem is your inability to infuse when their paths or expiration date.

13:40.125 --> 13:42.929
[SPEAKER_00]: This thing is well over three months overdue.

13:43.290 --> 13:45.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Kill it with fire.

13:45.593 --> 13:51.921
[SPEAKER_02]: God.

13:52.981 --> 13:54.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get to that right now, shall we?

13:56.170 --> 14:04.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I drop footage in the discord, and I said specifically for this show for us in discuss.

14:05.671 --> 14:07.914
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, Scott, you don't do it off to neither.

14:07.934 --> 14:09.857
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't do that off to it.

14:09.877 --> 14:10.258
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

14:10.498 --> 14:10.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

14:10.999 --> 14:13.462
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw the footage yesterday and I said, you know what?

14:13.482 --> 14:14.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Just flew one of the radar.

14:14.404 --> 14:15.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody talked about it.

14:15.745 --> 14:17.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody dropped it on discord.

14:17.408 --> 14:18.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me do this just for Scott.

14:19.090 --> 14:23.497
[SPEAKER_00]: I need you to watch this all five minutes just so we can talk about it on this show.

14:24.198 --> 14:25.840
[SPEAKER_00]: So we...

14:25.820 --> 14:34.832
[SPEAKER_00]: were presented with footage by way of WWE, a digital exclusive is what they call it, okay?

14:35.553 --> 14:38.858
[SPEAKER_00]: And it involved Nikoln is looking jacked by the way.

14:38.878 --> 14:39.799
[SPEAKER_00]: That was my biggest takeaway.

14:39.819 --> 14:40.620
[SPEAKER_00]: The mail is big.

14:40.801 --> 14:42.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoa, hey, big.

14:42.883 --> 14:44.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Just big.

14:44.045 --> 14:48.430
[SPEAKER_00]: just being and he was at Jumac and Tire's house, okay?

14:49.271 --> 14:51.193
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love WWE.

14:51.313 --> 14:54.037
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, but sometimes they overproduced stuff.

14:54.237 --> 14:58.101
[SPEAKER_00]: This was too overly produced, okay?

14:58.682 --> 15:02.226
[SPEAKER_00]: The edits, the cinematography, like this is too clean.

15:02.246 --> 15:08.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we need to be gritty with footage that seems a little bit home-grown and home-made.

15:11.163 --> 15:13.897
[SPEAKER_03]: for an end of a bad two for that I get it bro.

15:14.058 --> 15:14.500
[SPEAKER_03]: I get it.

15:14.600 --> 15:18.118
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it's feeling like coming around for your birthday here soon.

15:19.043 --> 15:21.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Fernando, you are low key hilarious.

15:21.687 --> 15:24.611
[SPEAKER_00]: I was born when Cody first of the truth started.

15:25.172 --> 15:30.881
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernandez and Washington's feud for 30 years apparently, just like a stuck, stuck in neutral.

15:31.261 --> 15:44.461
[SPEAKER_00]: So as I continue the story of this overly-produced video footage of Nick Aldis and Drew McIntyre trying to try to negotiate a deal, fame to return to work.

15:44.481 --> 15:46.384
[SPEAKER_00]: And the first deal was A.

15:46.837 --> 16:00.123
[SPEAKER_00]: you're going to apologize for knocking out the referee, you're going to come back and get your match against Cody Rhodes and you're going to pay your fine, which will be covered via your Survivor Series victory and war games.

16:00.463 --> 16:01.926
[SPEAKER_00]: So are you good?

16:01.906 --> 16:02.807
[SPEAKER_00]: is not in good.

16:03.187 --> 16:06.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I want to pick the terms of my match against Cody Rose.

16:06.691 --> 16:07.652
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I want.

16:08.132 --> 16:11.136
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want him to stay away from me leading into this match.

16:11.156 --> 16:12.337
[SPEAKER_00]: I want like a restraining order.

16:12.357 --> 16:13.538
[SPEAKER_00]: No contact clause.

16:13.838 --> 16:14.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we get that done?

16:14.860 --> 16:18.643
[SPEAKER_00]: And so Nick Audis, like, yeah, we can get a done handshake deal.

16:18.683 --> 16:19.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it.

16:19.785 --> 16:21.567
[SPEAKER_00]: And Jews like, let's get the paperwork done.

16:21.587 --> 16:23.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it written up, drawn up.

16:23.428 --> 16:24.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me sign it today.

16:24.650 --> 16:28.774
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he goes in his ring

16:29.395 --> 16:39.932
[SPEAKER_00]: looks at his phone and sees that Cody is at his house, trying to get past the runna cops.

16:40.954 --> 16:52.332
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we have a fight between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes with the sleek for decamers on site.

16:52.835 --> 16:59.503
[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm laughing because there's a nutcracker just randomly sitting on the lawn.

16:59.523 --> 17:09.475
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have Drew and Cody fighting, scrapping, eventually they knock down the nutcracker because of course they did.

17:09.995 --> 17:15.822
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in a funny spot, a poor runner cop took a drink

17:16.865 --> 17:19.449
[SPEAKER_00]: the lake by the golf course.

17:20.210 --> 17:21.011
[SPEAKER_00]: I laughed.

17:21.572 --> 17:29.504
[SPEAKER_00]: The fight continued and then Cody has only Cody can to in the segment told you McIntyre.

17:29.564 --> 17:37.236
[SPEAKER_00]: Approximately nine days before Christmas, Merry Christmas asshole and that's how we ended this segment.

17:40.355 --> 17:45.843
[SPEAKER_00]: Dominic Mysterio Crash, a grim mysterious Christmas this was not because that took place with Christmas Eve.

17:46.164 --> 17:48.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the best footage I've ever seen and you know what we need to Scott.

17:49.749 --> 17:50.470
[SPEAKER_00]: More neighbors.

17:51.232 --> 17:54.797
[SPEAKER_00]: We need more eyewitnesses to see what the hell is going on in my neighborhood.

17:55.117 --> 17:57.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Two people fighting and another crack of goes down.

17:58.322 --> 18:04.692
[SPEAKER_03]: Help me.

18:04.958 --> 18:07.821
[SPEAKER_02]: First of all, what a, what a lovely home.

18:08.101 --> 18:09.743
[SPEAKER_02]: Drew McIntyre has.

18:09.763 --> 18:18.711
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, genuinely, a lovely home, great golf course it looked like behind him, whether it's seeing it was pretty good because he was in a tank top.

18:18.891 --> 18:20.292
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm like, not even a two-code.

18:21.794 --> 18:23.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, where do I start?

18:24.737 --> 18:25.597
[SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned the neighbors.

18:25.698 --> 18:27.719
[SPEAKER_02]: I was looking for somebody on the golf course.

18:28.160 --> 18:32.864
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was hoping to see somebody taking some swings and maybe stopping and be like, oh look over there, I was going on.

18:33.565 --> 18:34.746
[SPEAKER_02]: None of that happened.

18:35.603 --> 18:46.796
[SPEAKER_02]: Cody the being the proud baby face that he was going and tries to terrorize somebody at his home with his family there, Nick all this, being the accomplice that he is.

18:46.816 --> 18:49.700
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I found Drew McIntyre.

18:49.840 --> 18:51.162
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm following some type of complaint.

18:51.202 --> 18:52.403
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to go see the COO.

18:52.764 --> 18:57.629
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to go talk to Nick Khan because this is unacceptable.

18:57.890 --> 19:04.918
[SPEAKER_02]: The GM and the Champion are at my house, terrorizing me and my family, absolutely not.

19:04.898 --> 19:16.900
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then we got Cody saying very, have married Christmas, first of all, this, this gave me flashbacks of Randy Jordan and Triple H on the bill.

19:16.960 --> 19:18.102
[SPEAKER_02]: The WrestleMania 25.

19:18.423 --> 19:23.271
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God, Triple H terrorizing Randy Jordan and his fake wife in their home.

19:24.113 --> 19:25.776
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I just,

19:26.853 --> 19:29.097
[SPEAKER_02]: this, this wasn't it, man.

19:29.818 --> 19:32.162
[SPEAKER_02]: It was shot beautifully way too clean.

19:32.402 --> 19:32.923
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

19:32.983 --> 19:37.190
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like way too clean, man.

19:37.811 --> 19:40.696
[SPEAKER_02]: And I knew we were in trouble.

19:41.437 --> 19:48.048
[SPEAKER_02]: When I saw Nick all this, come and say, yeah, I wanted to document all this, because you know, I just wanted to make sure they didn't say anything wrong.

19:48.308 --> 19:49.731
[SPEAKER_02]: And it wasn't no handheld footage.

19:50.051 --> 19:52.455
[SPEAKER_02]: They had this clean, but this is

19:53.212 --> 19:54.354
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what I'm talking about.

19:54.975 --> 20:08.556
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he gave Drew McIntyre a title match and let him pick the stipulation because Drew McIntyre has been terrorizing referees and ruining matches.

20:09.097 --> 20:20.434
[SPEAKER_01]: These GMs are making Ava look like the greatest thing in the world and that is a feeding of itself.

20:20.566 --> 20:25.033
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, I can't even put this on Triple H. I can't put this on Co-Pilot.

20:25.654 --> 20:28.238
[SPEAKER_02]: This is VKM Road Dog.

20:28.659 --> 20:29.861
[SPEAKER_02]: This is Kip James.

20:30.743 --> 20:36.712
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I mean, this is in a bombination and an insult to anyone who watched this.

20:37.714 --> 20:40.458
[SPEAKER_02]: And the worst part is, Drew's gonna lose again.

20:40.498 --> 20:47.670
[SPEAKER_02]: And they any hype this man up like he is, you know, the second coming, I can't.

20:48.308 --> 20:49.129
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't do this.

20:49.489 --> 20:52.492
[SPEAKER_02]: This was one of the worst things I've seen in a while.

20:54.895 --> 20:56.236
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't see no golf clubs.

20:57.518 --> 21:07.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, in second, anybody who lives on a golf course, my uncle lives on a golf course, you got to get in through the gate of community.

21:07.388 --> 21:08.690
[SPEAKER_02]: So who let Cody in?

21:09.671 --> 21:11.553
[SPEAKER_02]: Who let Cody in through the gate?

21:12.814 --> 21:13.995
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they need to be fired.

21:14.676 --> 21:15.717
[SPEAKER_01]: What is going on?

21:17.401 --> 21:19.251
[SPEAKER_01]: This was absolutely terrible.

21:19.922 --> 21:20.003
[UNKNOWN]: Bye.

21:20.860 --> 21:23.203
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm usually one that's like, yes, not that bad.

21:23.243 --> 21:24.084
[SPEAKER_02]: It's okay.

21:24.104 --> 21:26.488
[SPEAKER_02]: This was one of the worst things.

21:27.589 --> 21:28.670
[SPEAKER_02]: Cody had a guest pass.

21:29.792 --> 21:32.035
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get him the guest pass, Larry.

21:32.255 --> 21:36.561
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, who gave him the guest pass?

21:36.921 --> 21:38.724
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I need to know.

21:39.164 --> 21:45.072
[SPEAKER_02]: The Cody, like signing autograph for Drew's kid and it was like, oh, by the way, I'll give you an autograph for the give me a guest pass.

21:45.453 --> 21:46.695
[SPEAKER_02]: What is going on, Brad?

21:46.755 --> 21:47.796
[SPEAKER_02]: This is,

21:48.907 --> 21:50.229
[SPEAKER_02]: You're probably right, though, Larry.

21:50.369 --> 21:51.631
[SPEAKER_02]: He must have had a guest pass.

21:51.651 --> 21:55.436
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know who gave it to him, but this, this wasn't it.

21:57.499 --> 22:01.444
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen you this heated over a segment in a long time.

22:02.545 --> 22:04.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody did not know the gate code, Larry.

22:06.771 --> 22:12.619
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the great questions in life that we ask ourselves sometimes.

22:13.510 --> 22:14.511
[SPEAKER_00]: applies here.

22:14.551 --> 22:16.895
[SPEAKER_00]: Who in the hell left the gate open?

22:17.295 --> 22:18.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Who left the gate open?

22:18.437 --> 22:18.958
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?

22:18.978 --> 22:20.620
[SPEAKER_00]: How do he get through the gate?

22:20.660 --> 22:21.942
[SPEAKER_00]: How do he get beyond those gates?

22:22.142 --> 22:22.723
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

22:23.264 --> 22:30.234
[SPEAKER_00]: But what I do know is that I agree with Scott because Scott rarely gets upset about a segment on this level.

22:30.835 --> 22:32.277
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was pretty bad.

22:32.497 --> 22:33.719
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to say this as well.

22:34.260 --> 22:36.683
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the overproduction for me.

22:36.663 --> 22:43.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Audis said, I wanted to document this for the record to make sure nothing that was said was misconstrued.

22:43.714 --> 22:46.017
[SPEAKER_00]: So you said, let me get some 4D cameras.

22:46.358 --> 22:47.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me get some show.

22:47.239 --> 22:48.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me get some drones.

22:48.982 --> 22:53.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me make sure this is post-produced, like a cinematic movie.

22:53.549 --> 22:56.093
[SPEAKER_00]: And make sure I get my shoulders in the frame.

22:56.133 --> 22:57.315
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at big sale.

22:57.716 --> 22:59.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure I look jacked.

22:59.258 --> 23:02.363
[SPEAKER_00]: for the people, make sure if I need to put in that work I can.

23:02.683 --> 23:04.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it was the overproduction for me.

23:05.287 --> 23:06.789
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it was Jeremy Burrash.

23:06.869 --> 23:09.814
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it was like a, a leaf fitting thing.

23:09.854 --> 23:11.376
[SPEAKER_00]: This was too much.

23:12.337 --> 23:17.825
[SPEAKER_00]: We needed some grainy footage that just gave authentic.

23:18.006 --> 23:21.030
[SPEAKER_00]: This just gave overly brief footage.

23:21.010 --> 23:22.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the ring footage.

23:22.935 --> 23:24.359
[SPEAKER_00]: The ring footage would be better than this.

23:24.439 --> 23:26.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was just too much.

23:26.745 --> 23:31.277
[SPEAKER_00]: It was too much of a production and WWE does production very well.

23:31.778 --> 23:33.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything does not have to be WrestleMania.

23:34.285 --> 23:37.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Just do a segment that feels authentic.

23:37.092 --> 23:39.375
[SPEAKER_00]: real and raw and call it a day.

23:39.656 --> 23:47.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause I can believe from three years ago, the dirty dog and rear ripply would have their crew come over to crash raise Christmas, okay?

23:48.428 --> 23:50.912
[SPEAKER_00]: I can believe that it was authentic.

23:51.092 --> 23:53.135
[SPEAKER_00]: We had neighbors being nosy.

23:53.335 --> 23:54.857
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, what's going on in a raise house?

23:54.877 --> 23:56.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that was really good.

23:56.460 --> 23:57.822
[SPEAKER_00]: This was really bad.

23:57.842 --> 24:00.405
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the opposite of entertaining.

24:00.846 --> 24:05.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I was appalled at how clean it was.

24:05.172 --> 24:08.677
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had a fucking nutcracker just standing there.

24:08.717 --> 24:12.983
[SPEAKER_00]: The only decoration outside of Merry Christmas in a reef, the jewel in the house.

24:13.324 --> 24:16.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Merry Christmas, nutcracker in the front lawn.

24:16.408 --> 24:22.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me a break.

24:24.089 --> 24:29.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and, and the security, I mean, what, what were they even there for?

24:29.575 --> 24:32.378
[SPEAKER_02]: One, one, I thought it was at a lake of reincarnation.

24:32.518 --> 24:34.540
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't even know what's going on.

24:34.861 --> 24:38.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, this was just, just, really bad.

24:38.365 --> 24:48.055
[SPEAKER_02]: If Drew McIntyre does not win the title, just, just let him go to, let him go to RAW, let him go to NXT, let that man thrive somewhere, but,

24:48.035 --> 24:50.679
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to get him away from Cody.

24:50.699 --> 24:51.700
[SPEAKER_02]: We got to.

24:51.821 --> 24:52.261
[SPEAKER_02]: We got to.

24:52.622 --> 24:55.126
[SPEAKER_02]: This can't go on if he's not going to win the title.

24:55.847 --> 24:56.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

24:56.748 --> 24:58.250
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love you, McIntyre.

24:58.791 --> 25:04.059
[SPEAKER_00]: That man has a lifetime invitation to rent lobster and all of his franchises.

25:04.139 --> 25:05.621
[SPEAKER_00]: All the cheddar biscuits belong to him.

25:06.062 --> 25:06.663
[SPEAKER_00]: I love him.

25:07.043 --> 25:08.205
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is Tyrosa.

25:08.746 --> 25:10.528
[SPEAKER_00]: I am tired and he's going to lose.

25:10.949 --> 25:12.491
[SPEAKER_00]: We know he's going to lose.

25:12.511 --> 25:14.174
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's going to bother me so much.

25:14.214 --> 25:16.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we're doing this again.

25:16.958 --> 25:28.875
[SPEAKER_00]: On Friday, even though it was a tape show for the holidays, you know what we have to do, subject ourselves because they're going to air this footage all five minutes of it and say you have to see this again.

25:28.895 --> 25:35.845
[SPEAKER_00]: If you did not see it the first time on WWE's Twitter page, get out of here.

25:40.465 --> 25:43.729
[SPEAKER_02]: On the bright side, like you said, Nick, all this was popping out of that shirt.

25:43.749 --> 25:45.291
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like he behavior was hard.

25:45.992 --> 25:46.853
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'll give you that.

25:46.913 --> 25:48.575
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was definitely popping out of that shirt.

25:49.436 --> 25:52.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that man was about to pop out that shirt.

25:52.900 --> 25:54.222
[SPEAKER_00]: All know it was about to happen.

25:54.242 --> 25:56.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this man was getting ready for WrestleMania.

25:56.305 --> 25:57.987
[SPEAKER_00]: He was looking swollen, jacked.

25:58.407 --> 26:00.269
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was more impressed by looking at him.

26:00.590 --> 26:03.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Then this entire segment, I said, Nick, all this way, to roll somebody's ass.

26:03.894 --> 26:05.396
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, is it gonna be Randy?

26:05.616 --> 26:08.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause he owe him a few, actually.

26:08.528 --> 26:09.489
[SPEAKER_02]: He does Orandy one.

26:09.649 --> 26:14.795
[SPEAKER_02]: And one other thing, you know, you've been talking about the hair, Drew's hair was looking pretty sweet.

26:14.815 --> 26:16.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at him, put it good in there.

26:16.217 --> 26:17.478
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll give him that as well.

26:18.019 --> 26:22.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, listen, Drew's a beautiful man, beautiful.

26:22.985 --> 26:24.767
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm tired of him losing.

26:24.827 --> 26:25.708
[SPEAKER_00]: It hurts my soul.

26:26.208 --> 26:28.111
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to go on Monday night raw.

26:28.131 --> 26:29.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, go on evolve.

26:29.412 --> 26:33.997
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have to define yourself, if you give them going to be, do what you must.

26:34.017 --> 26:35.279
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is too much.

26:35.319 --> 26:37.101
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

26:37.081 --> 26:38.404
[SPEAKER_00]: It's he can't know.

26:38.444 --> 26:43.076
[SPEAKER_02]: He cannot absolutely not be subjected to that man to two feet.

26:43.096 --> 26:43.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to tell you that.

26:43.998 --> 26:47.086
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what Timothy Thatcher and Charlie Dempsey are resided.

26:47.126 --> 26:48.750
[SPEAKER_02]: We are not sitting in Drew McIntyre.

26:48.810 --> 26:50.314
[SPEAKER_02]: Now if he wants to go to NXT,

26:51.543 --> 26:53.245
[SPEAKER_02]: and play with Oberfemi for a little bit.

26:53.405 --> 26:54.367
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm cool with that.

26:54.687 --> 26:56.970
[SPEAKER_00]: But to be not doing that.

26:56.990 --> 27:00.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if he loses going to be fight Sean like you see he'll be all right.

27:01.155 --> 27:05.661
[SPEAKER_00]: Meanwhile, Larry said, you're looking like a romance novel cover.

27:05.721 --> 27:06.162
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.

27:06.563 --> 27:08.765
[SPEAKER_00]: Holly Quinn calls, yes, absolutely.

27:09.206 --> 27:12.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Give him very Scottish Fabio, yes, absolutely.

27:12.831 --> 27:15.274
[SPEAKER_00]: And then GQ drew, absolutely for them.

27:15.294 --> 27:16.275
[SPEAKER_00]: But the men is gorgeous.

27:16.716 --> 27:18.478
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just tied to him losing.

27:18.458 --> 27:24.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, it's operational and fine, just fine, but I'm tired of him losing her soul or spirit.

27:25.706 --> 27:30.111
[SPEAKER_00]: But what did not hurt my soul or my spirit was Monday night raw.

27:31.112 --> 27:32.734
[SPEAKER_00]: And we were in her ship in Savannah.

27:32.814 --> 27:43.926
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe and this was a fallout from what we experienced on Saturday night's main event and end of a career with John Cena's retirement,

27:43.906 --> 27:50.288
[SPEAKER_00]: a finish that was very polarizing for fans in some ways because Joss, you know, did the one thing he said he would never do.

27:50.328 --> 27:52.796
[SPEAKER_00]: He gave up, he tapped out.

27:53.338 --> 27:55.907
[SPEAKER_00]: So we know the triple age got the heat.

27:56.140 --> 27:58.164
[SPEAKER_00]: got boo, got cust out.

27:58.664 --> 28:00.568
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw Triple H suck sign in the crowd.

28:00.808 --> 28:01.570
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't come out there.

28:01.590 --> 28:02.291
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows better.

28:02.632 --> 28:06.318
[SPEAKER_00]: We won't see that man probably until WrestleMania made.

28:06.398 --> 28:08.201
[SPEAKER_00]: He might stay low for a bit.

28:08.422 --> 28:14.773
[SPEAKER_00]: He will not be doing any post PLE specials on WWE's.

28:14.753 --> 28:20.103
[SPEAKER_00]: brand of YouTube and Netflix and peacockie would not be available for any of that.

28:20.123 --> 28:21.526
[SPEAKER_00]: That man's going to be incognito.

28:21.566 --> 28:24.031
[SPEAKER_00]: The one time he wants to stay away, he'll stay away for a bit.

28:24.051 --> 28:26.816
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows better because it's going to be on site with the boobs.

28:27.237 --> 28:28.520
[SPEAKER_00]: So we know he's got heat.

28:28.981 --> 28:31.505
[SPEAKER_00]: But the question was, how would this benefit Gunther?

28:31.906 --> 28:35.353
[SPEAKER_00]: How would the reaction carry over on this night?

28:35.934 --> 28:36.475
[SPEAKER_00]: So.

28:37.163 --> 28:45.390
[SPEAKER_00]: We get the recap, we get the footage of the tap out and seeing us response to it and they did a great job editing the footage and make it look like, oh, what a moment of time.

28:46.111 --> 28:48.753
[SPEAKER_00]: People crying in the crowd, shock faces, love that.

28:49.494 --> 28:51.896
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we start Monday and night raw with Gunther.

28:52.616 --> 28:57.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that sweet sound of his music, the OG music, comes out there and all black.

28:57.521 --> 29:07.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Got a new fade, love the cup, little swoop in his eye with the hair, love that for him.

29:07.285 --> 29:12.530
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just backs in the booze, stands on the announce table, stands on the apron.

29:12.831 --> 29:13.732
[SPEAKER_00]: He soaks it in.

29:13.772 --> 29:22.521
[SPEAKER_00]: He starts talking and gets booted down, but then he says, hey, I said, what I said, I did what I did.

29:22.581 --> 29:26.305
[SPEAKER_00]: And I made Johnson a tap out like a little bitch.

29:26.725 --> 29:30.269
[SPEAKER_00]: And he dropped a microphone and the fans booed.

29:30.569 --> 29:32.331
[SPEAKER_00]: He came back.

29:32.311 --> 29:34.917
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said, let me get more of this heat.

29:34.957 --> 29:36.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me bask in it.

29:36.320 --> 29:40.508
[SPEAKER_00]: But he said, John Cena tapped out like a little bitch.

29:40.849 --> 29:41.811
[SPEAKER_00]: He tapped out.

29:42.152 --> 29:43.074
[SPEAKER_00]: He tapped out.

29:43.395 --> 29:45.659
[SPEAKER_00]: He kept saying it, kept getting heat.

29:45.840 --> 29:46.561
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.

29:46.982 --> 29:51.552
[SPEAKER_00]: So he went backstage, walk through gorilla.

29:51.717 --> 29:57.224
[SPEAKER_00]: ran into Tazawa and Otis, looked at them y'all ain't shit, y'all ain't shit, y'all ain't got nothing on me.

29:57.604 --> 30:03.051
[SPEAKER_00]: kept walking, then he got to scrap daddy and this is when this kind of win love for me.

30:03.372 --> 30:13.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Scrap daddy, talk about how dare you go out there and brag about your accomplishments, the nerve of you for winning fair and square, how dare you.

30:13.264 --> 30:16.408
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you to go home tonight.

30:17.215 --> 30:18.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, go home at 815.

30:19.097 --> 30:19.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool, whatever.

30:19.918 --> 30:22.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Long as a check clears, I'm cool with it.

30:23.241 --> 30:25.143
[SPEAKER_00]: So gum therapy sees to go home.

30:25.183 --> 30:28.006
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a cold night in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

30:28.306 --> 30:29.508
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going outside.

30:29.968 --> 30:37.316
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ Styles is sitting by his runner car, looking up, looking him up and down, and then gunk and looks at him up and down.

30:37.936 --> 30:39.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me get him my car, let me go.

30:39.438 --> 30:45.484
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in a great moment, that say of the prior backstage mess with scrap daddy,

30:46.072 --> 30:50.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Just before Gunther drove away, he rode down his window.

30:50.038 --> 30:59.393
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked at AJ Styles, and he said, hey, AJ, and he did the chance, you can't see me in drove away.

30:59.454 --> 31:07.086
[SPEAKER_00]: And even the fans who were booing this man had to laugh because it was so great.

31:07.206 --> 31:09.109
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a great troll job.

31:09.443 --> 31:12.487
[SPEAKER_00]: I greatly enjoyed this.

31:13.408 --> 31:14.669
[SPEAKER_00]: This gave me such pleasure.

31:14.850 --> 31:21.358
[SPEAKER_00]: I love when a heel gets proper heel heat for doing a dastrictly heel thing.

31:21.758 --> 31:30.970
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we know, next in line, we'll be AJ Styles, getting in that ale on his retirement tour against Gunther, possibly maybe at WrestleMania.

31:31.350 --> 31:33.713
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not gonna be mad at that, but

31:34.385 --> 31:44.648
[SPEAKER_00]: For all of the fans out there that said that Gunther does a move merch, he's not supposed to, he's a heal, get with the program on that.

31:48.205 --> 31:50.509
[SPEAKER_02]: this was arguably one of the best segments of the year.

31:50.930 --> 31:52.733
[SPEAKER_02]: And it didn't have to say a lot.

31:54.236 --> 31:55.177
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all hilarious.

31:55.198 --> 31:57.061
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, Roman, this is my yard vibes.

31:57.642 --> 32:04.735
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this eclipse that because not only did he soak it in, man, he was, he was telling him to bring it on.

32:04.815 --> 32:05.476
[SPEAKER_02]: I missed it.

32:05.496 --> 32:07.800
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you said, stood up on the table.

32:07.780 --> 32:15.376
[SPEAKER_02]: said what he said walked out to and I thought I was like oh that's great fantastic then he's decided to walk back to the ring.

32:15.396 --> 32:19.806
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean that's that is incredible.

32:21.069 --> 32:26.380
[SPEAKER_02]: He walked back stage Adam Pearce again.

32:26.360 --> 32:32.650
[SPEAKER_02]: Worst GM in the game decided to give him the you know give him a day off.

32:32.670 --> 32:34.072
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's fine.

32:34.573 --> 32:49.455
[SPEAKER_02]: And then AJ Styles being the nice guy that he is went ahead and cleaned off Gunther's car for him already had the windows defrosted had the car ready for him just let me just fantastic.

32:49.976 --> 32:50.477
[SPEAKER_02]: I

32:50.997 --> 33:06.033
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't ask for much more and again, completely vindicated to the decision, because now Gunther, whenever and whoever he faces next, fans are going to be clamoring for him to take that out, for him to get that weapon that he deserved.

33:06.694 --> 33:15.563
[SPEAKER_02]: So job well done all around, Gunther had a new swag to him, and he fit the bill perfectly.

33:15.623 --> 33:19.047
[SPEAKER_02]: He is the new top heel on the brand.

33:20.478 --> 33:20.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

33:21.282 --> 33:22.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Larry.

33:22.507 --> 33:23.451
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we have a great question.

33:23.813 --> 33:26.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Why was AJ standing out there in this snow in a tank top?

33:26.605 --> 33:29.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, he said, I am about that life.

33:29.641 --> 33:34.069
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I am immune to the cold because I am cold.

33:34.429 --> 33:34.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

33:34.790 --> 33:36.814
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the coldest guy in the room.

33:37.315 --> 33:43.445
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me go out there and get pneumonia is what I do and Gunther basically tell that man, you're next.

33:43.465 --> 33:46.671
[SPEAKER_00]: You're next to my retirement list across you all not here.

33:47.052 --> 33:49.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Get my WrestleMania back all at a day.

33:49.516 --> 33:50.819
[SPEAKER_00]: But I love this for Gunther.

33:50.859 --> 33:53.944
[SPEAKER_00]: He's reached a new level of heel heat.

33:54.076 --> 33:54.897
[SPEAKER_00]: and I knew it.

33:55.118 --> 34:01.869
[SPEAKER_00]: I just knew it because that was the purpose of him tapping out John Cena to get to that next level for a very long time.

34:01.929 --> 34:07.357
[SPEAKER_00]: People do view him as this big threat, but now he is the biggest threat to in someone's career.

34:07.718 --> 34:11.204
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are on a retirement tour, beware, he's going to put you down.

34:11.624 --> 34:16.472
[SPEAKER_00]: Ray Mysterio, prayers, AJ Styles, prayers, redacted,

34:16.452 --> 34:19.375
[SPEAKER_00]: prayers to you too, because all of y'all can get it.

34:19.735 --> 34:20.676
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm here for it.

34:20.756 --> 34:23.779
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what was needed to get gum through to that next level.

34:24.419 --> 34:27.522
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this, I think this will benefit him greatly.

34:27.942 --> 34:30.285
[SPEAKER_00]: John is on Instagram saying, this was my goal.

34:30.745 --> 34:32.366
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm giving you Star Wars references.

34:32.386 --> 34:33.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, I'm giving you all be one.

34:34.068 --> 34:36.690
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, I'm giving you levels to this.

34:37.511 --> 34:39.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this will pay dividends.

34:39.913 --> 34:44.097
[SPEAKER_00]: As I always say, if you felt away about what happened on Saturday,

34:44.077 --> 34:48.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Show me a six to nine months via the attendance for these events for WWE.

34:48.786 --> 34:52.634
[SPEAKER_00]: And if it dips and we can look back on Saturday night and say, hey, y'all had a point.

34:52.654 --> 34:58.625
[SPEAKER_00]: But if nothing really changes in the next six to nine months, then what can we say, except gum.

34:58.645 --> 35:00.128
[SPEAKER_00]: They're got more over as a heal.

35:03.449 --> 35:08.456
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you got your top level heel and, you know, he's not even going for the title yet.

35:08.556 --> 35:11.861
[SPEAKER_02]: So when he does go for the title, it's going to feel big.

35:11.881 --> 35:13.043
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to feel important.

35:13.443 --> 35:17.990
[SPEAKER_02]: But as for right now, whatever he does, he's going to get that type of heat.

35:18.290 --> 35:23.277
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's, that's old school Dominic Mysterio heat before the fans actually really liked them.

35:23.297 --> 35:24.499
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is great.

35:24.900 --> 35:25.901
[SPEAKER_02]: Gunther was great here.

35:25.921 --> 35:30.688
[SPEAKER_02]: He was absolutely fantastic and again, I think this is one of the best segments we've had all year.

35:31.073 --> 35:37.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, and he also too gets a relapse of franchise elements of biscuits for life.

35:37.769 --> 35:44.786
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's good to go on that track as well as we get to the return of CM Punk on Monday night.

35:44.806 --> 35:48.475
[SPEAKER_00]: We're all to respond to all things, Brian Breaker.

35:48.455 --> 36:17.466
[SPEAKER_00]: and CM Punk was especially motivated on this night to call out young brawn to let him know that you don't want 2011 me you can't even handle 2025 me and he dragged his dad, his uncle basically saying listen your whole family's dumb, your dumb, your dumb for challenging me and your dumb for even thinking you want the old version of me is I'm going to basically take you to the wood shed put in that

36:17.446 --> 36:21.330
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said, if you ever call out my wife, again, you're really going to be done.

36:21.791 --> 36:26.116
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love the fire and the energy that CM Punk put into this promo.

36:26.436 --> 36:30.781
[SPEAKER_00]: He needed to do it to kind of put Braun on notice setting into their match for the world.

36:30.821 --> 36:39.911
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a great championship on Monday, January 5th, funnabarkly center and Brooklyn, New York great jabs in by punk to put Braun on notice.

36:39.951 --> 36:41.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Did it work?

36:41.527 --> 36:48.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we'll see as we saw the end of Monday night raw with someone looking at the lights.

36:51.078 --> 36:51.338
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

36:51.358 --> 36:52.800
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought Punk's from was really good.

36:52.820 --> 36:58.386
[SPEAKER_02]: I really enjoyed the line of the, you know, regardless of the standard math, GTS still equals 1, 2, 3.

36:58.947 --> 37:00.789
[SPEAKER_02]: So I, I thought that was a great line.

37:00.929 --> 37:08.397
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like the fact that both both Braun and Punk are both very confident in what's going to happen.

37:08.437 --> 37:10.780
[SPEAKER_02]: They both truly believe that they are the best.

37:11.861 --> 37:13.963
[SPEAKER_02]: This, this is a really good

37:14.737 --> 37:26.654
[SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about, you know, how WWE has, has a lot of, there's been a lot of talk I should say about how WWE's main event scene is full of older people, not a lot of young blood or at least newer blood.

37:27.395 --> 37:30.098
[SPEAKER_02]: They are in a, they have an opportunity here.

37:30.118 --> 37:42.195
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a really established and bring some new blood and I think they've done a really good job with Braunbreaker, even if he doesn't win the title and I think he should, but even if he doesn't win the title on that January 5th episode,

37:42.175 --> 37:50.605
[SPEAKER_02]: they've done a good job of establishing him as someone who's not to be played with who is to be feared, especially when you talk about in-ring.

37:51.426 --> 37:57.112
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been able to hold his own on the promos and he's also been an even in the backstage segment.

37:57.152 --> 37:58.434
[SPEAKER_02]: He seems more confident.

37:58.454 --> 38:00.196
[SPEAKER_02]: He seems more like a top guy.

38:00.736 --> 38:05.702
[SPEAKER_02]: So they've done a really good job of that and I'm actually really looking forward to the next

38:05.682 --> 38:06.884
[SPEAKER_02]: face the face that they had.

38:06.944 --> 38:09.127
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's going to be another face to face promo.

38:09.147 --> 38:13.853
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm really looking forward to see that because that's going to be the real test for Braun.

38:14.133 --> 38:23.286
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one thing to cut that promo when seeing punks not there, but to cut it right in front of them with seeing punk retorting and, you know, throwing the jabs right back at them.

38:23.546 --> 38:24.147
[SPEAKER_02]: Because

38:24.127 --> 38:30.032
[SPEAKER_02]: See a punk got a little bit of that John Cena in him where you say the wrong thing and he's going to catch a slipman.

38:30.132 --> 38:32.434
[SPEAKER_02]: He might even try to make you slip up.

38:32.454 --> 38:34.636
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's going to be the next big test.

38:34.656 --> 38:39.781
[SPEAKER_02]: But as far as what they've done so far, I think they've done a really good job of building this match.

38:39.801 --> 38:46.546
[SPEAKER_02]: Both men looking and sounding like they believe they are the best guy, the better guy I should say.

38:46.586 --> 38:49.309
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm looking forward to the match.

38:49.389 --> 38:54.133
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very excited about this

38:54.113 --> 39:00.721
[SPEAKER_00]: made to he's over and CM Punk to the great job, like basically saying, I'm not scared of you.

39:01.182 --> 39:07.390
[SPEAKER_00]: You could say what you want to say about me, but when it's time to put up a shut up, we're going to find out who's really the top guy around here.

39:07.850 --> 39:18.864
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you said, the true test, which might be what we get maybe on the last raw of 2025, which will be live, I think, if they need that face to face, 101 promo.

39:19.465 --> 39:21.808
[SPEAKER_00]: And the test will be Braun Breaker.

39:21.788 --> 39:43.003
[SPEAKER_00]: going bar for bar with Sam Punk because we know Punk is going to do he's going to hit a volley and he's going to say off script a what you got this he tripped up LA night on live television and we both saw it so like if you really good at what you think you good at if you have the talker if it wasn't your family

39:42.983 --> 39:44.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put you on the spot.

39:44.625 --> 39:48.610
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to jump on your line a little bit and see what you're going to do with that.

39:48.710 --> 39:55.057
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a big test for him to go face to face, word for word, bar for bar with puck.

39:55.377 --> 40:04.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you can pass that test, I feel good about that, heading into their championship match on the first Monday night raw of twenty twenty six and we'll go from there.

40:04.068 --> 40:09.514
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought that punk through the great job with the rebuttal and then we'll get to the end of the show in just a moment.

40:09.494 --> 40:10.657
[SPEAKER_00]: good heat.

40:10.977 --> 40:15.849
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's important for WWE to establish the future for next year.

40:15.909 --> 40:25.090
[SPEAKER_00]: We've heard the conversations to about the main event scene aging a bit and that not only affects WWE, but a, w, as well.

40:25.070 --> 40:36.136
[SPEAKER_00]: So we need to really focus on the youth they have that can be main adventures of their television shows, of their PLEs and pay per views heading into next year.

40:36.156 --> 40:37.319
[SPEAKER_00]: The future is there.

40:37.339 --> 40:43.213
[SPEAKER_00]: There are pieces in place and we're going to see if they can maximize on that heading into next year.

40:44.560 --> 40:45.942
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree with you.

40:45.982 --> 40:47.685
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, Larry, you bring up a good point.

40:47.765 --> 40:49.888
[SPEAKER_02]: The crowd is ready for bronze.

40:49.968 --> 40:52.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, and that's very important too.

40:52.312 --> 40:57.420
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's one thing to push a young wrestler and the crowd not accept them.

40:58.601 --> 41:03.649
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we, and I think that's part of the reason why they've been so reluctant to push these dumb wrestlers.

41:03.669 --> 41:12.863
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the people, you can think back to like, the jack swaggers and the people like that who have won titles, young and the crowd just wasn't ready to accept them.

41:12.843 --> 41:15.026
[SPEAKER_02]: They are ready to accept Brahmbreaker.

41:15.066 --> 41:20.575
[SPEAKER_02]: They fully believe in Brahmbreaker and they can see the potential in the intensity that he brings.

41:20.935 --> 41:25.923
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's a really good point that they love Brahm and they're ready to accept him as well.

41:26.604 --> 41:31.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and WWE has a better eye for younger talent than they did 20 years ago.

41:32.452 --> 41:40.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, because they hit unicorns with John Cena, Rainier and Shelton redacted, they hit unicorns.

41:40.062 --> 41:43.446
[SPEAKER_00]: They did, and then after that time period, they got some lemons.

41:44.026 --> 41:46.610
[SPEAKER_00]: And you McIntyre was a lemon at one point.

41:47.251 --> 41:55.641
[SPEAKER_00]: He was, he wasn't ready, but now they have a greater eye for talent, and they know when they are ready, and sometimes they delay it.

41:55.621 --> 42:06.381
[SPEAKER_00]: for years, which bothers me, but I hope they recognize the people they have like the opas and the tricks and the javans and the leonce layers and not the bond breakers.

42:06.802 --> 42:17.882
[SPEAKER_00]: You have an assortment of really young, hungry guys that can be WrestleMania main adventures that can be your next gen straight away for the next 20 plus years and you don't have to sweat it.

42:17.862 --> 42:22.789
[SPEAKER_00]: you just have to push them, take the risk and know that it's worth it in the end.

42:22.869 --> 42:26.273
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see if they go there on January 5th.

42:26.373 --> 42:46.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Will I see a title switch to be determined to be determined for sure, but to know the fans are rocking with bra and it's a sign of things to come and I

42:47.191 --> 43:00.019
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna tell you what we're not going to do because I was ready the boy was ready okay what we're not gonna do is hinder gender okay because because okay

43:01.990 --> 43:03.152
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what, I'll believe it alone.

43:03.372 --> 43:04.855
[SPEAKER_04]: We're not going to hinder gender tonight.

43:04.895 --> 43:05.797
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm in a good mood.

43:05.977 --> 43:08.501
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not going to put me in a bad mood for Nando, okay?

43:08.802 --> 43:09.663
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to the gender.

43:10.004 --> 43:17.396
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out shout out to WWE champion, gender Mahal, who beat Shinsuke Nakamura at SummerSlam.

43:17.737 --> 43:18.618
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to him.

43:20.562 --> 43:23.707
[SPEAKER_00]: The first zombie, the put zombie prison legend.

43:24.228 --> 43:24.929
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.

43:25.350 --> 43:26.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.

43:26.712 --> 43:27.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen.

43:28.113 --> 43:35.993
[SPEAKER_00]: The pandabers that were starved out by wasting all that bamboo on that damn punjambi prison.

43:37.697 --> 43:40.063
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a bamboo shortage.

43:40.803 --> 44:09.021
[SPEAKER_00]: that affected pandas were a wide okay they went through it my red pandas my regular pandas they went through it because it is damn who John B. prison let it be known that that gender will always be hindered okay and Fernando you're right the crowd was not ready for him they would never be ready I wasn't ready for one of the worst rains in WWE history thankfully

44:09.845 --> 44:11.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Thankfully that I agree with you on that.

44:11.968 --> 44:13.049
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a really good match.

44:13.249 --> 44:16.514
[SPEAKER_00]: It was it was and as God intended AJ one.

44:16.674 --> 44:17.996
[SPEAKER_00]: So thank the Lord for that.

44:18.416 --> 44:20.899
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, let's hand it into all night long.

44:20.979 --> 44:25.485
[SPEAKER_00]: I am at at at at least because please terrible terrible memories.

44:26.386 --> 44:27.267
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

44:27.287 --> 44:29.671
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's get to the main event of Monday night.

44:30.592 --> 44:33.135
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was Logan Paul versus Ray Mysterio.

44:34.212 --> 44:41.464
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it is when it comes to Logan Paul and Riemus Rio matches, they do not have chemistry.

44:42.305 --> 44:45.350
[SPEAKER_00]: It just feels like it just is a struggle to get through.

44:46.271 --> 44:57.008
[SPEAKER_00]: And WWE is running into an interesting conundrum here because they have made Logan Paul a part of weekly WWE television.

44:57.489 --> 44:59.933
[SPEAKER_00]: He is a weekly character now.

45:00.875 --> 45:02.038
[SPEAKER_00]: as a part of the vision.

45:02.099 --> 45:05.529
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a very bold move.

45:06.251 --> 45:14.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Because in doing so, you're having him work, not just on PLE's now, but on television,

45:14.206 --> 45:14.867
[SPEAKER_00]: weekly.

45:15.769 --> 45:23.884
[SPEAKER_00]: And he doesn't have the luxury of practicing his matches for weeks at a time to make sure saw polish and all the timing is right.

45:24.405 --> 45:30.216
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going out there and you're having these matches with very little notice.

45:30.236 --> 45:32.620
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to go out there and try to work.

45:32.600 --> 45:40.454
[SPEAKER_00]: and it's coming off very pedestrian, and the flow is flowing for me, and the overexposure is real.

45:41.236 --> 45:44.602
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we're seeing the holes in Logan Paul's game.

45:45.183 --> 45:48.869
[SPEAKER_00]: If you give him time to rehearse a match, he'll do a very good job.

45:49.390 --> 45:51.975
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's a bit choppy in spots.

45:51.955 --> 46:05.112
[SPEAKER_00]: bit rough here and there and I think they're running into an overexposure problem and I know they're trying to tell the story too of maybe he's trying to become a baby phase within this faction and he'll break through.

46:05.693 --> 46:15.065
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's something that he wants, but let me tell you something you're going to have to work for it really, really hard because nothing will be given to you.

46:15.485 --> 46:18.469
[SPEAKER_00]: These fans are not going to make this easy.

46:18.449 --> 46:27.345
[SPEAKER_00]: you're going to have to fight forward and you might have to go to the PC, move to Orlando, get those reps in and work.

46:27.366 --> 46:41.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And thankfully they're doing how shows during holiday season, work them, they're doing more how shows they're getting into rest of many of season, work them because if he doesn't, this exposure of him not being all that is going to continue.

46:45.415 --> 46:49.121
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I I didn't think he's match with LA night was that bad.

46:49.401 --> 46:57.093
[SPEAKER_02]: I just thinking might just be them to have an a chemistry issue like they've they've never really had a good match And let's keep it a buck.

46:57.113 --> 47:03.222
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't I couldn't tell you the last time Ray Mysterio's really had a really good match either, so

47:03.455 --> 47:11.008
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're not wrong in that sense where Logan Paul is, you know, he's definitely wrestling more, but I think this is, I mean, this is what you need to do.

47:11.168 --> 47:17.278
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is what every newer wrestler who starts wrestling weekly does, you go through these types of things.

47:17.859 --> 47:21.565
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, this could this I think is more of just say a

47:21.545 --> 47:27.275
[SPEAKER_02]: a chemistry issue than anything else, because I didn't match last week with LA night.

47:27.315 --> 47:29.559
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was 10 times better.

47:29.999 --> 47:31.823
[SPEAKER_02]: Not great, but I thought it was a lot better.

47:31.903 --> 47:33.786
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see what happens.

47:33.846 --> 47:41.319
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, he is there to be kind of either the fall guy or just the guy that wrestles weekly so you can have the big moments with bra and bra.

47:41.339 --> 47:43.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And so we'll see what happens going forward.

47:43.803 --> 47:44.464
[SPEAKER_02]: But

47:44.444 --> 47:52.715
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is good for him, whether it is exposing him like you say or it's just letting him know, you know, I need to put him more work.

47:52.735 --> 47:54.597
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think he minds putting in the work.

47:54.677 --> 48:02.668
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he, he, when I hear him talk, like I let's do a little bit of his impulse even sometimes and he sounds like he does love this wrestling thing.

48:02.688 --> 48:05.231
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can tell that he, he is getting better.

48:05.251 --> 48:11.599
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I think as we've talked about his promo is getting better, he seems more comfortable backstage with the

48:11.579 --> 48:24.030
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't think a work ethic thing is really an issue with him as much as it is just now you just got to start getting more reps. And like you said, whether it's house shows and whether it's just a different dance partner.

48:24.050 --> 48:27.613
[SPEAKER_02]: Some people just don't work well together and that's okay.

48:27.694 --> 48:31.997
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think let's see what he does with his next opponent, whoever that may be.

48:32.057 --> 48:41.586
[SPEAKER_02]: If he has another match that's a clunker, I'll give in a little bit more, but I just think this could just be a

48:41.566 --> 48:48.423
[SPEAKER_00]: which is weird, which is very, very odd when it should be actually a good match, but it's not, and then Larry makes a good point.

48:48.804 --> 48:53.415
[SPEAKER_00]: He is used to being the flying guy, not the guy catching the flying, that is a very good point.

48:53.956 --> 48:55.640
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's going to have to adjust to that, too.

48:55.720 --> 48:57.685
[SPEAKER_00]: You going to have to be like,

48:57.867 --> 49:01.052
[SPEAKER_02]: who you got to go first for sure.

49:01.473 --> 49:07.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the guys you emulate the tapes you watch you watch a lot of hangman page and you watch a lot of real offspray.

49:08.164 --> 49:10.448
[SPEAKER_00]: So you had to watch, they do different things.

49:10.468 --> 49:18.441
[SPEAKER_00]: They're versatile and maybe you have to find out what makes Logan Paul Logan Paul and not being a hybrid of everybody else.

49:18.461 --> 49:20.685
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to find out what's you.

49:20.665 --> 49:30.578
[SPEAKER_00]: and who are you as a wrestler because you can look at all of the tapes in the world and be inspired by the hangman's and the Oscars and the Cal Fletcher's, who are you?

49:30.618 --> 49:35.965
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you bring to the table that makes you special as a wrestler?

49:36.306 --> 49:43.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I see something we both see it, we've seen it, but now you are working more on television.

49:43.896 --> 49:50.605
[SPEAKER_00]: You are not a weekly character on the road, not every

49:50.585 --> 49:52.388
[SPEAKER_00]: So now it's time to see what you can do.

49:52.448 --> 49:53.630
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to take some time.

49:53.650 --> 49:57.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to believe he has it in him to figure it out.

49:57.716 --> 49:59.839
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he will listen, he figured out his hair.

49:59.859 --> 50:01.982
[SPEAKER_00]: He figured out his hair.

50:02.022 --> 50:04.967
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a significant step in the right direction.

50:05.067 --> 50:09.594
[SPEAKER_00]: All I told him to do was get some conditioner and get some sacred and look.

50:10.054 --> 50:11.657
[SPEAKER_00]: His hair is night and day.

50:11.897 --> 50:14.221
[SPEAKER_00]: He's also copying Hangman's hair routine.

50:14.742 --> 50:17.706
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, they got a great, great conditioner.

50:19.424 --> 50:21.088
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I think that's it right there.

50:21.108 --> 50:23.152
[SPEAKER_02]: I just think he needs to just find his identity.

50:25.678 --> 50:28.143
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Larry said he used to be in the flying guy.

50:28.183 --> 50:32.373
[SPEAKER_02]: When he was, when he's flying around the ring, that is kind of when he's at his best.

50:32.593 --> 50:38.867
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think he does just need to find his identity, whether he needs to have more of a basic,

50:38.847 --> 51:03.066
[SPEAKER_02]: move set like a miss or if he needs to just say hey but it is what it is you know what the miss you know who the miss is you know what what he's going to do in the ring and we can the miss adapts to who he's wrestling like you know he's he's he's never going to give you that five star classic but he can still put on a good match or be what he needs to do with just about

51:03.046 --> 51:05.231
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what Logan Paul has got to figure out.

51:05.371 --> 51:10.382
[SPEAKER_02]: What is his baseline as far as who is he as a wrestler?

51:10.402 --> 51:12.186
[SPEAKER_02]: And what is that basic move set?

51:12.466 --> 51:17.818
[SPEAKER_02]: And then when you want to bring out the stuff depending on who you're going against, that's when it adds more and it means more.

51:19.582 --> 51:22.388
[SPEAKER_00]: You just had a squeeze in a mic reference again.

51:23.515 --> 51:33.153
[SPEAKER_00]: We know that Mike can go luchem is on a given night, he can unlock a bag of occasionally like he's a two-pay character.

51:33.433 --> 51:34.114
[SPEAKER_00]: He can.

51:34.155 --> 51:37.220
[SPEAKER_00]: It happens once every blue moon legitimately.

51:37.721 --> 51:40.246
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, you just had a squeeze one in there.

51:40.286 --> 51:41.728
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't stand you when you do that.

51:42.169 --> 51:45.355
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, but especially when I'm right.

51:46.567 --> 51:49.051
[SPEAKER_00]: you are moderately correct moderately.

51:49.071 --> 51:50.113
[SPEAKER_00]: I will give you that.

51:50.534 --> 52:00.171
[SPEAKER_00]: My cast moments when he's like, Wow, that was a really good mass shot to me happens every now and then a deck lock is right twice a day.

52:00.191 --> 52:01.633
[SPEAKER_00]: I can admit that.

52:02.274 --> 52:03.276
[SPEAKER_00]: But

52:03.256 --> 52:11.119
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be remiss if we don't mention the end of this match between Logan Paul and Riemisterio then involved the maxed man.

52:11.721 --> 52:14.850
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, WWE has big time jokes.

52:14.911 --> 52:15.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

52:15.573 --> 52:17.097
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause last week.

52:17.701 --> 52:22.008
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a black man that went out there and did what he needed to do.

52:22.048 --> 52:30.281
[SPEAKER_00]: They said this week, we are letting you know this is a white man because we're not even hiding his face, okay?

52:30.782 --> 52:31.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Undeniable proof.

52:31.803 --> 52:33.466
[SPEAKER_00]: This man is white, okay?

52:33.767 --> 52:34.948
[SPEAKER_00]: A white man did this.

52:35.309 --> 52:39.135
[SPEAKER_00]: So we stumped out

52:40.668 --> 52:41.730
[SPEAKER_00]: at a high rate of speed.

52:42.291 --> 52:43.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

52:43.192 --> 52:47.539
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it was time to unmask the maxed man.

52:48.541 --> 52:57.175
[SPEAKER_00]: And when he revealed himself like a Scooby-Doo villain, I said, oh, that's just in Timberlake.

52:57.543 --> 53:00.367
[SPEAKER_00]: There he is right there, bringing sexy back.

53:01.028 --> 53:03.813
[SPEAKER_00]: What goes around comes around.

53:04.013 --> 53:05.275
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that for me.

53:05.335 --> 53:11.985
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, just Emily came out there to reveal himself as a Max Man.

53:12.446 --> 53:15.751
[SPEAKER_00]: It was actually awesome theory with a shaved head.

53:16.292 --> 53:21.981
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was giving future sex love sounds just a Timberlake circa 2006.

53:23.581 --> 53:25.604
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's find out who broke his heart like Brittany did.

53:26.405 --> 53:28.949
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, I will say this though.

53:29.169 --> 53:35.399
[SPEAKER_02]: I told you last week, don't you be sleeping on Austin Theory because that boy got swag and you know who we've been around.

53:35.419 --> 53:38.844
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I told you that, but you're probably right.

53:38.864 --> 53:39.645
[SPEAKER_02]: They probably switched up.

53:40.226 --> 53:42.669
[SPEAKER_02]: Austin Theory got a little Austin Theory chant.

53:43.130 --> 53:46.155
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's obviously whatever's going on is working.

53:47.417 --> 53:49.740
[SPEAKER_02]: You got that vibe, I got like,

53:50.260 --> 54:01.924
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh nine Randy Orton vibes when he was deciding if he wanted to go buzz or if he wanted to go balls and couldn't figure it out, so that's the kind of vibe I was getting, but the just and similar thing, that's kind of spot on.

54:02.090 --> 54:06.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a good segment, brawn got a great spear at the very end as well.

54:07.737 --> 54:15.346
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm hoping that next week, we get a mass man here, but I think it was all centering and it reveals that somebody else.

54:15.366 --> 54:18.770
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think there's more layers to the story that done a good job with it.

54:18.870 --> 54:21.213
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, this man is getting Austin theory chance.

54:21.253 --> 54:24.237
[SPEAKER_02]: He hasn't heard that in ever since he evolved.

54:24.757 --> 54:25.498
[SPEAKER_02]: So.

54:26.390 --> 54:29.835
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think they've done a good job with this and hopefully this works out for Austin three.

54:29.855 --> 54:30.776
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a big fan of his.

54:30.836 --> 54:32.939
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he has a lot going for him.

54:33.540 --> 54:34.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you know, the origin story.

54:34.982 --> 54:37.525
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, he has what it takes to be a baby face.

54:38.026 --> 54:40.749
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is Paul Ham is a tempt for the second time.

54:40.809 --> 54:42.992
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's try this awesome theory thing.

54:43.553 --> 54:44.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get him over.

54:44.434 --> 54:45.956
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Paul's opportunity.

54:46.057 --> 54:50.102
[SPEAKER_00]: He usually has a great eye for talent and he's got two miracles to work.

54:50.082 --> 54:52.128
[SPEAKER_00]: awesome theory and Logan Paul.

54:52.509 --> 54:59.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you get these two guys over as believable baby faces down the road that can be over, that can be licensed to print money.

55:00.049 --> 55:03.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Can Paul him and pull something out of these two guys?

55:03.198 --> 55:05.745
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see and do time.

55:05.725 --> 55:07.307
[SPEAKER_00]: but that was Monday night raw.

55:07.367 --> 55:09.550
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a show and I'll honestly some matches here.

55:09.570 --> 55:27.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Some matches did not hit for me as much as basically just a, it was basically a transitional show to get us through the next raw, which should be taped next week and then ultimately the last raw of 20, 25 getting us ready for the January 5th show on Netflix from Brooklyn, New York.

55:27.933 --> 55:44.099
[SPEAKER_00]: But very quickly, we got to talk about one thing from NXT, one thing because something happened on the show tonight that has that happened in WWE in a very, very long time and that was a shoot finish.

55:44.620 --> 55:52.472
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had a women's North American championship match between Blake Monroe and

55:52.452 --> 56:02.987
[SPEAKER_00]: Went through a commercial break came back and we had to hit us like a set on on Blake Monroe, and she did a leverage pin, okay?

56:03.007 --> 56:21.092
[SPEAKER_00]: And the referee counted one, two, we believe that Blake was supposed to kick out two and a half, but she was knocked out in terms of being laid out with the set on.

56:22.102 --> 56:22.843
[SPEAKER_00]: There are three.

56:23.865 --> 56:27.491
[SPEAKER_00]: So, well, she's not getting her shoulder up.

56:28.132 --> 56:30.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a, three.

56:31.378 --> 56:31.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Three.

56:32.841 --> 56:34.924
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a glitch in the matrix.

56:34.944 --> 56:36.727
[SPEAKER_00]: They played the wrong music for the wrong winter.

56:37.729 --> 56:38.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Fails like what the fuck going on.

56:39.031 --> 56:39.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that was three, right?

56:39.953 --> 56:40.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that three?

56:40.514 --> 56:41.275
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that three?

56:41.660 --> 56:52.755
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the correct music played and the referee awarded the North America championship to see a hell because he had to call the match a shoot when Blake showed his were down.

56:53.235 --> 56:55.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise he would have fucked up the cadence.

56:55.558 --> 57:00.685
[SPEAKER_00]: So the referee did the right thing because that is the rule in WWE.

57:01.126 --> 57:07.254
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're not in position to kick out for whatever reason, you've got to call it as a shoot.

57:07.775 --> 57:09.557
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we got on this night.

57:12.980 --> 57:14.943
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a couple of things.

57:15.624 --> 57:18.349
[SPEAKER_02]: Theo is 10 times better than Maxine.

57:18.830 --> 57:24.539
[SPEAKER_02]: And if Theo was in the position that Maxine was in, man, I think she would be over as Rover.

57:24.599 --> 57:27.664
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think she would be so popular right now.

57:28.506 --> 57:34.195
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was my first I watched in this match was man, I wish that was Theo in that position instead of Maxine.

57:34.175 --> 57:46.447
[SPEAKER_02]: Secondly, this, I don't think I've seen, especially for a title match this have since one thing was our truth, who won the U.S. title off of a shoot three pin, uh, three count pin.

57:46.487 --> 57:48.572
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this is, uh,

57:49.700 --> 57:54.806
[SPEAKER_02]: Now what I was expecting opening match, you could see Blake was just labor-gasted.

57:55.747 --> 57:59.311
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they have a taping coming up so wouldn't surprise me if she wins the title back soon.

57:59.512 --> 58:00.993
[SPEAKER_02]: Or she, you know what?

58:01.734 --> 58:03.476
[SPEAKER_02]: I just leave it behind me and get caught up.

58:03.556 --> 58:05.799
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it sucks all around.

58:06.720 --> 58:08.702
[SPEAKER_02]: But the referee did what he was supposed to do.

58:09.563 --> 58:10.965
[SPEAKER_02]: And here we are.

58:12.025 --> 58:14.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was genuine emotion from Theo.

58:14.528 --> 58:16.431
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the supposed to win?

58:16.471 --> 58:18.534
[SPEAKER_00]: And congrats to her.

58:18.654 --> 58:27.786
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so funny to me that I was reading Brian Aberes's tweet, like, of all the times for the future to win a match, it would happen on a match.

58:28.227 --> 58:32.593
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, like the universe said, hey, let's do something different tonight on NXT.

58:32.913 --> 58:34.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get somebody over by accident.

58:34.836 --> 58:35.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And it kind of worked.

58:35.817 --> 58:37.319
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm happy for Theo.

58:37.339 --> 58:40.463
[SPEAKER_00]: As you said, if that was the on Monday night raw,

58:40.443 --> 58:41.967
[SPEAKER_00]: as Maxine Dupree.

58:41.987 --> 58:51.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it would be night and day in terms of like the fight, the pluck and how good fear is her lover of experience and just the personality being way more over there.

58:51.531 --> 58:52.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Blake will be fine.

58:52.654 --> 58:56.022
[SPEAKER_00]: They're probably do a rematch or Scott said, Hey,

58:56.002 --> 58:57.084
[SPEAKER_00]: move me on up.

58:57.424 --> 59:01.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, why would I want to win this championship back to do with it exactly?

59:01.311 --> 59:09.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, do what you must, but we shall see that was just a moment for sure that I did not expect woke be a for sure.

59:09.485 --> 59:11.428
[SPEAKER_00]: And, uh, good for see ya.

59:11.408 --> 59:13.852
[SPEAKER_00]: even though it was an accident, good for Thia.

59:14.373 --> 59:20.102
[SPEAKER_00]: And that and fill out the show had to elongate some matches because that was not supposed to happen.

59:20.582 --> 59:24.669
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Ricky Saints comes out because of heel promo at some point on the show as well.

59:25.149 --> 59:26.892
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he'd be subjavadavens.

59:26.972 --> 59:28.495
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're have a match probably.

59:28.975 --> 59:29.997
[SPEAKER_00]: And New Year's evil.

59:30.378 --> 59:34.564
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see if Javans sticks around NXT through.

59:34.544 --> 59:49.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Staying in deliver if they want to wait that long to run back another open phimmy match for the NXT championship as well and we do have a new number one contender for set championship and that is who

59:50.795 --> 59:54.782
[SPEAKER_02]: Leon Slater, whoo, exhibition champion.

59:55.784 --> 59:56.766
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what that?

59:57.266 --> 01:00:01.995
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a very good pick because I think that's going to add a little tension between him and Javon.

01:00:02.376 --> 01:00:05.681
[SPEAKER_02]: They had a nice little promo that was kind of tease and that was Javon.

01:00:05.701 --> 01:00:08.587
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't want to come out of being his corner and know that.

01:00:08.667 --> 01:00:10.089
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was real good.

01:00:10.350 --> 01:00:11.672
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you mentioned,

01:00:11.652 --> 01:00:13.013
[SPEAKER_02]: Ricky, he kind of really good.

01:00:13.033 --> 01:00:14.155
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was a really good promo.

01:00:14.175 --> 01:00:16.557
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably one of the best that he's cut.

01:00:16.577 --> 01:00:18.639
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he, I think that was one he cut with trick.

01:00:18.660 --> 01:00:19.380
[SPEAKER_02]: That was real good.

01:00:19.560 --> 01:00:25.146
[SPEAKER_02]: And by right before he had their last man standing match, but this was him kind of really letting go being a heal.

01:00:25.187 --> 01:00:26.168
[SPEAKER_02]: I've really enjoyed it.

01:00:26.228 --> 01:00:29.531
[SPEAKER_02]: The, the dominator through the table was real strong.

01:00:30.092 --> 01:00:41.524
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I thought this was actually a really good NXT show outside of, I'm never going to be a fan of Hank and tank having a 15 minute match with OTM outside of that.

01:00:41.504 --> 01:00:44.454
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, everything else was was was pretty good.

01:00:44.474 --> 01:00:46.681
[SPEAKER_02]: The federal floor was pretty good as well.

01:00:46.701 --> 01:00:51.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, they had to do it because that match was short due to the shoot finish.

01:00:53.047 --> 01:00:55.391
[SPEAKER_00]: HPK Walker HPK said, listen, I need you.

01:00:55.411 --> 01:00:58.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I need you out of go 15, 20 to fill up this time.

01:00:58.537 --> 01:01:00.661
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry, OTM, Hank, thank you.

01:01:00.681 --> 01:01:01.803
[SPEAKER_00]: Go out there and do what they did it.

01:01:02.404 --> 01:01:08.315
[SPEAKER_00]: To the very best of their ability, we're in a little bit too long for me too, but overall, by NXT standards, it's just better than usual.

01:01:08.355 --> 01:01:10.860
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love a good shoot finish.

01:01:10.980 --> 01:01:12.443
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't be mad at that either.

01:01:13.044 --> 01:01:15.408
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm looking forward to Leon Salator versus Open Family.

01:01:15.428 --> 01:01:16.911
[SPEAKER_00]: That's gonna be a great match.

01:01:16.891 --> 01:01:24.375
[SPEAKER_00]: for the NXT Championship and we need to pay off Chavon versus Leon for the extra vision championship that is an unfinished story.

01:01:24.415 --> 01:01:30.394
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to tell and why not tell it on maybe the first impact on AMC.

01:01:30.948 --> 01:01:43.684
[SPEAKER_02]: in January, and listen, I'ma go ahead and tell you, WWE is not letting TNA get that Javan Leigh on match with a finish on their show before it happens on WWE.

01:01:44.024 --> 01:01:44.785
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you kidding me?

01:01:44.906 --> 01:01:46.247
[SPEAKER_02]: That is absolute.

01:01:46.488 --> 01:01:47.249
[SPEAKER_02]: They should be lucky.

01:01:47.269 --> 01:01:48.290
[SPEAKER_02]: They even got it at it.

01:01:48.310 --> 01:01:48.590
[SPEAKER_02]: What was it?

01:01:48.610 --> 01:01:49.291
[SPEAKER_02]: Slam aversary.

01:01:49.712 --> 01:01:50.352
[SPEAKER_02]: Slam aversary.

01:01:50.372 --> 01:01:51.594
[SPEAKER_02]: They should be lucky.

01:01:51.614 --> 01:01:52.795
[SPEAKER_02]: They even got no bound for glory.

01:01:52.816 --> 01:01:53.356
[SPEAKER_02]: They should be lucky.

01:01:53.376 --> 01:01:53.897
[SPEAKER_02]: They got it there.

01:01:54.558 --> 01:01:58.002
[SPEAKER_02]: They are not getting a finish to that match before WWE gets it.

01:01:58.673 --> 01:02:03.358
[SPEAKER_00]: So, way things will happen at a PLE for NXT with a BV Engine stay?

01:02:05.120 --> 01:02:05.981
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I could see that.

01:02:06.101 --> 01:02:11.747
[SPEAKER_02]: I, after Oba Femi beats Leon for that title, I could see Javambi like, you know what?

01:02:12.187 --> 01:02:18.014
[SPEAKER_02]: It's about time for me to get that gold around your waist because that little tension that they have going on.

01:02:18.034 --> 01:02:20.116
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I could definitely see that happener.

01:02:20.776 --> 01:02:27.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I need TNA to just realize that they're not gonna have Leon slater there too much longer.

01:02:28.998 --> 01:02:31.241
[SPEAKER_00]: need them to just realize it's it's over.

01:02:31.281 --> 01:02:32.662
[SPEAKER_00]: It's over.

01:02:33.724 --> 01:02:34.605
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is listed.

01:02:34.625 --> 01:02:37.148
[SPEAKER_00]: We showcase this guy in our main events at these shows.

01:02:37.208 --> 01:02:37.789
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a wrap.

01:02:38.550 --> 01:02:42.054
[SPEAKER_00]: Enjoy him why you can't clearly, they're going to sign him.

01:02:44.357 --> 01:02:45.017
[SPEAKER_03]: They got Joe.

01:02:45.218 --> 01:02:46.039
[SPEAKER_03]: They got Jordan.

01:02:47.020 --> 01:02:48.482
[SPEAKER_03]: Leon's next.

01:02:48.502 --> 01:02:49.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Leon's next.

01:02:49.803 --> 01:02:50.484
[SPEAKER_00]: He's next.

01:02:50.845 --> 01:02:52.086
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry.

01:02:52.960 --> 01:03:01.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Carlos do better in protecting your talent because dude, yeah, yeah, they see it, they see it for sure.

01:03:01.852 --> 01:03:12.066
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, he's that was NXT a better than usual show due to a shoot finish that I was not mad at at all happy for the hell and then we will be back.

01:03:12.518 --> 01:03:19.049
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the week after next because it is Christmas week and we got to kind of refresh for the holidays.

01:03:19.490 --> 01:03:26.783
[SPEAKER_00]: But what I do know is that we have to get ready for the fourth annual wrap awards are year in special to recap.

01:03:26.803 --> 01:03:37.902
[SPEAKER_00]: The year that was in WWE and I can say that this would be kind of like the 2022 edition H transitional year.

01:03:38.118 --> 01:03:50.237
[SPEAKER_00]: for sure, in WWE, some things that were good, some things that were not so good, and who will win the Vaughan Wagner Award of Excellence?

01:03:50.277 --> 01:03:56.346
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the big question we have to make a decision on.

01:03:57.271 --> 01:03:59.213
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's a contender.

01:03:59.233 --> 01:03:59.933
[SPEAKER_02]: I could tell you that.

01:03:59.973 --> 01:04:02.216
[SPEAKER_02]: She's a contender, Maxine's a contender.

01:04:02.676 --> 01:04:03.877
[SPEAKER_02]: Rakele's a contender.

01:04:04.838 --> 01:04:09.582
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a, Rakele's actually a really good pick for that.

01:04:09.662 --> 01:04:15.147
[SPEAKER_02]: She's someone who actually has done very well ever since Kevin Nash got in her ear.

01:04:15.227 --> 01:04:18.751
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, that's not, yeah, this is going to be a pretty good, yeah.

01:04:18.771 --> 01:04:24.696
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it'll be a nice award as far as there'll be some different names you might not expect.

01:04:24.828 --> 01:04:25.309
[SPEAKER_00]: for sure.

01:04:25.349 --> 01:04:34.643
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk about that a bit later as we get close to the date, but that is a wrap for all things WWE V of this edition of the wrap on the 5 game media network YouTube channel.

01:04:35.063 --> 01:04:37.928
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to thank my co-capted, my co-host.

01:04:37.948 --> 01:04:42.094
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's got young for joining me to recap the week so far in WWE.

01:04:43.238 --> 01:04:44.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Keela, as always.

01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:46.443
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a pleasure to chop it up and talk all things.

01:04:46.784 --> 01:04:50.730
[SPEAKER_02]: WWE, shout out the Fernando, shout out the Larry if you're being in the chat.

01:04:51.211 --> 01:04:57.822
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope everyone shout out the Andre Andre, Andre Rays gaming as well too.

01:04:58.022 --> 01:04:58.503
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to you.

[SPEAKER_02]: And hope everyone has a great holiday.

01:05:00.967 --> 01:05:06.175
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, this, uh, look forward to the next show and the awards coming up.

01:05:06.340 --> 01:05:28.838
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so what I'm going to say right now is that we'll be off next week because of Christmas, but I will say we will be back on Tuesday, December 30th to talk about the wrap awards and the last week of the year for WWE to wrap up 2025 as we ring in the new year 2026 in just a couple of weeks.

01:05:28.818 --> 01:05:33.889
[SPEAKER_00]: So until then, until next time for myself and for Saul, she's got young.

01:05:33.929 --> 01:05:36.295
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a wrap for all things WWE.

01:05:36.355 --> 01:05:37.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Take care.
