00:10.207 --> 00:18.195
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, everyone, and welcome to another live edition of the rap right here on the Fiky Media Network on YouTube.
00:18.676 --> 00:23.240
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Keela Cash, and we're here today to talk about all things WWE.
00:23.721 --> 00:35.573
[SPEAKER_00]: As a road to Survivor Series war games continues, we are about four weeks away from the last major PLA of the year, and we got a lot to discuss, and by my side as always,
00:35.553 --> 00:37.775
[SPEAKER_00]: is my co-capped in my right hand.
00:37.795 --> 00:42.100
[SPEAKER_00]: These sometimes advocate for the rapidly and pooped with Ms. Jada Parker from NXT.
00:42.540 --> 00:47.625
[SPEAKER_00]: I bring to you back on the rap as always, no longer baby face.
00:48.326 --> 00:54.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott Young, no longer that baby face that we look at and admire and appreciate.
00:54.893 --> 00:56.754
[SPEAKER_00]: It's now scruffy heel.
00:56.814 --> 01:00.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott Young, back being salty as ever.
01:00.819 --> 01:02.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, scruffy.
01:04.308 --> 01:07.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Scruffy, scruffy shag, he's crazy.
01:07.933 --> 01:11.056
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm more of a tweener right now.
01:11.938 --> 01:18.366
[SPEAKER_04]: But as always, it's a pleasure to chop it up Kila and talk off things WWE.
01:18.686 --> 01:20.889
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm excited about the conversation we're going to have.
01:21.630 --> 01:25.575
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, you know, I could tell you this.
01:26.135 --> 01:28.158
[SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of what I do with my facial hair.
01:28.859 --> 01:30.080
[SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of what I do.
01:30.601 --> 01:33.825
[SPEAKER_04]: It will be better than what Kalani Jordan decided to do on NXT today.
01:35.594 --> 01:38.019
[SPEAKER_00]: that is a teaser for things to come.
01:38.079 --> 01:52.067
[SPEAKER_00]: I popped Scott earlier off the air as I was introducing a new segment on the show in honor of Kalani and what she's been doing as a newly established heal
01:52.047 --> 01:56.975
[SPEAKER_00]: on NXT television as the TNA knockout women's champion.
01:57.376 --> 02:13.684
[SPEAKER_00]: I have now deemed a weekly segment where Scott will sit on his soapbox and just basically talk about the pros and mainly cons of Kalani trying to be a heal in a segment entitled Kalani's corner.
02:13.664 --> 02:14.685
[SPEAKER_00]: with Scott Young.
02:14.765 --> 02:24.337
[SPEAKER_00]: He will offer his analysis, his takes, his thoughts on Kalani Jordan on a weekly basis letting you know why this is it working.
02:24.678 --> 02:34.109
[SPEAKER_00]: And I for at least the first week will co-sign on everything he has to say because my God that segment was a hot mess.
02:34.490 --> 02:41.038
[SPEAKER_00]: That crowd was relentless and her promo was relentless towards me because it was not very good.
02:43.702 --> 02:44.624
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
02:47.029 --> 02:47.349
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
02:47.670 --> 02:50.696
[SPEAKER_04]: I like going on with that and none of it was good.
02:50.776 --> 02:53.000
[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll talk about it.
02:53.141 --> 02:53.842
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about it.
02:54.443 --> 02:57.649
[SPEAKER_00]: We shot talk about it later on during this episode.
02:57.669 --> 02:58.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to Fernando.
02:59.032 --> 03:01.577
[SPEAKER_00]: One of our day ones here in the live chat.
03:01.898 --> 03:03.060
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're watching,
03:03.040 --> 03:04.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Please join into the conversation.
03:04.822 --> 03:22.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Last talk about today, once you're thoughts on several topics as well, but before we get into all things, WWE, we got to talk about stats, trails, and trials and adventures to a certain place, certain cross that he goes to on a weekly basis.
03:22.922 --> 03:27.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Unbeknownst to me last week, he was already into season two.
03:28.589 --> 03:36.161
[SPEAKER_00]: as he moves along to get caught up to the current season dropping some time next year on the CW.
03:36.782 --> 03:52.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, tell me what has been happening lately on Sullivan's crossing on Netflix.
03:53.429 --> 04:01.660
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I almost did, but I heard you asked the question, did I freeze a dope, I'm frozen just when you asked, but I'm back.
04:02.301 --> 04:12.214
[SPEAKER_04]: So listen, I crossed over the Solis, went back over to the campground and found out his daughter Maggie's pregnant.
04:12.920 --> 04:16.083
[SPEAKER_04]: She let her and her ex came down for a night.
04:16.123 --> 04:17.765
[SPEAKER_04]: They made s'mores now.
04:17.805 --> 04:22.610
[SPEAKER_04]: She's having a baby and Chad Michael Murray.
04:22.730 --> 04:23.531
[SPEAKER_04]: They went on a date.
04:23.971 --> 04:25.152
[SPEAKER_04]: He said he don't want kids.
04:25.633 --> 04:26.514
[SPEAKER_04]: She said, dooses.
04:27.595 --> 04:28.696
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where we at right now.
04:28.736 --> 04:30.738
[SPEAKER_04]: So now we're going to see who's going to give in first.
04:32.600 --> 04:40.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot believe that you equated s'mores to the birds and the bees.
04:42.130 --> 04:43.513
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we really think about it.
04:43.693 --> 04:45.777
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the melting of two things.
04:46.698 --> 04:48.181
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of heat involved.
04:48.241 --> 04:49.884
[SPEAKER_00]: And then boom, there's a baby some more.
04:49.924 --> 04:53.150
[SPEAKER_00]: So I absolutely get the analogy I do.
04:54.172 --> 04:57.038
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of elements involve a lot of sweets.
04:57.138 --> 04:58.380
[SPEAKER_04]: And you put it all together.
04:58.420 --> 05:00.544
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to get the package.
05:01.925 --> 05:11.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so want to make a collaboration joke, but I won't, but I won't, I will not make that joke even though I just did.
05:11.348 --> 05:14.075
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a collaboration of things happening.
05:14.536 --> 05:19.849
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a baby's more was made on Sullivan's crossing.
05:19.829 --> 05:21.171
[SPEAKER_00]: what a great recap.
05:21.773 --> 05:24.297
[SPEAKER_00]: This season is already off to a very hot start.
05:24.738 --> 05:27.924
[SPEAKER_00]: How many puns can I make to really make this melt away?
05:28.324 --> 05:30.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we shall see in this segment for sure.
05:31.270 --> 05:34.455
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was our cell of his crossing recap for the week.
05:34.476 --> 05:36.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much, Scruffy.
05:36.078 --> 05:39.745
[SPEAKER_00]: As we now get to our next top,
05:40.163 --> 05:43.486
[SPEAKER_00]: which is the NBA.
05:43.946 --> 05:53.935
[SPEAKER_00]: We talk about the standings every week for the next eight months to see what's going to change and into the NBA postseason, which is ways away.
05:54.456 --> 05:57.138
[SPEAKER_00]: What we always like to like armchair quarterback here.
05:57.238 --> 06:02.563
[SPEAKER_00]: See how the stand is look because it does change legitimately week to week.
06:02.923 --> 06:08.288
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have to shout out Scott Lakers through injuries through adversity.
06:08.669 --> 06:10.170
[SPEAKER_00]: They're actually
06:10.150 --> 06:13.015
[SPEAKER_00]: winning when it counts most.
06:15.580 --> 06:16.522
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the price.
06:17.003 --> 06:17.725
[SPEAKER_04]: This is what we do.
06:20.049 --> 06:29.146
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we essentially have the beetles out there with Austin Reeves, Luca and Laravia running the show.
06:29.828 --> 06:31.551
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know,
06:32.257 --> 06:54.219
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where we're right right now, but shout out to shout out to the back of the back of the answers, you know, the Andre or the Andre, and what's called the Andre Warden, the Andre eight and Mark Smart, Eva Rue, all had, you know, all had the 20s next mid junior to a contract guy decided to have 26 points.
06:55.040 --> 06:57.522
[SPEAKER_04]: Shout out to them, briny James catching hoops.
06:58.447 --> 07:02.233
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I feel real good about what the King's walking back into.
07:02.874 --> 07:09.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, once he gets past his eye out of color, he should be walking into a very decent situation in the next month or so.
07:10.345 --> 07:14.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, there was a nickname for the big three.
07:15.692 --> 07:19.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I was, um, I don't know how to take it.
07:19.518 --> 07:21.501
[SPEAKER_00]: It was funny to me in the moment.
07:21.970 --> 07:24.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna get Scott's take on it right now.
07:25.013 --> 07:29.899
[SPEAKER_00]: So Scott, you remember back in the 80s, we had these show time-lakers, right?
07:30.520 --> 07:49.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Prime magic, just prime time in the form, winning championships for Jerry, then we had, you know, at the time, another Laker great off there, coaching him up, Pat Riley, beautiful times, right, beautiful times.
07:49.257 --> 08:08.846
[SPEAKER_00]: And now there's a new nickname bestowed upon the big three you mentioned heard the word we got the snow timelakers now the snow timelakers so The lower five like your though I guess that's fine.
08:10.248 --> 08:15.957
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean you got you got look at a done lemon daddy.
08:16.223 --> 08:17.248
[SPEAKER_04]: and who's the radio.
08:17.429 --> 08:21.289
[SPEAKER_03]: So I guess there's no time like as it works.
08:22.062 --> 08:28.930
[SPEAKER_00]: LaRevia is like a bad ass named, they'll just say LaRevia, just just menacing, do like the name.
08:29.571 --> 08:32.774
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're winning, the LaRevia is a good domain.
08:33.455 --> 08:35.738
[SPEAKER_00]: It is actually like, it just sounds cool.
08:36.218 --> 08:37.300
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're winning games.
08:37.520 --> 08:39.843
[SPEAKER_00]: And the standings are right now.
08:39.983 --> 08:44.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And the thunder who we're watching on Peacock, there are seven and a no right now for now.
08:44.568 --> 08:48.212
[SPEAKER_00]: They are undefeated, the only undefeated team in the NBA at this point.
08:48.773 --> 08:49.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two.
08:49.754 --> 08:51.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Spurs 5 and 1.
08:51.537 --> 08:54.141
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lakers, number 3, 6 and 2.
08:54.181 --> 08:57.227
[SPEAKER_00]: The Nuggets 4 and 2, the Rockets 4 and 2.
08:57.687 --> 08:59.891
[SPEAKER_00]: The Timberwolves coming in at number 6, 4 and 3.
08:59.991 --> 09:01.313
[SPEAKER_00]: The Trailblazers 4 and 3.
09:01.794 --> 09:03.016
[SPEAKER_00]: My Warriors 4 and 3.
09:03.117 --> 09:06.683
[SPEAKER_00]: The Clippers are playing OKC right now, 3 and 3.
09:07.284 --> 09:12.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, who got a win, the Pelicans who are now 1 and 6 in the West.
09:14.763 --> 09:37.581
[SPEAKER_00]: and Scott had to go away for a moment, as we transitioned briefly to the NBA Easton Conference, the bulls lost her first game recently, but this the top of the division six and one followed by the 76ers five and two alongside the pistons who are surging at five and two, followed by the bucks who are number four at five and three.
09:37.561 --> 09:41.826
[SPEAKER_00]: as I bring Scott back to the show after he had a dip out for a second.
09:42.266 --> 09:48.713
[SPEAKER_00]: As I go through the Eastern Conference standings, then we got the nicks in at four and three along with the heat four and three.
09:49.194 --> 10:02.609
[SPEAKER_00]: The Cavaliers, four and three, the Raptors in the Hawks, four and four, and the poor sat Brooklyn nets, bringing up the rear, the only team in the NBA not to get a W yet.
10:04.150 --> 10:04.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh and seven.
10:09.404 --> 10:11.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Scratch your thoughts on the standings.
10:13.349 --> 10:19.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And Scott still might be frozen potentially right now if he can hear me and he cannot.
10:22.181 --> 10:26.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back.
10:26.987 --> 10:32.294
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'm here, I don't know if y'all could hear me or not, but I'm here.
10:33.295 --> 10:34.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you hear us?
10:34.677 --> 10:35.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you hear me?
10:38.260 --> 10:39.201
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I can hear you.
10:39.221 --> 10:40.483
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't think you hear me.
10:41.223 --> 10:42.805
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's leaving again.
10:42.845 --> 10:56.962
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando, we will talk about your question because it's a very serious question, a very serious allegation that Devon from the Dully Boys recently dropped via an interview with Maven a few weeks ago.
10:56.982 --> 11:01.247
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about that in just a moment and I do have thoughts on that as well.
11:01.227 --> 11:16.632
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the meantime, I just once got to come back in, get through the technical difficulties, so we can get this show on the road, but I do like your thoughts for Nando about OKC repeating once again as NBA champions very strong possibility there.
11:16.652 --> 11:20.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the East and the West.
11:20.077 --> 11:49.577
[SPEAKER_00]: competitive, definitely open season in the east due to a lot of injuries, and we'll see who comes out on top when the finals come around and June, which is a ways away, but it can come at you very quickly, because the season flies by very fast, especially when you get through the arse, especially when you get through the all-star break, so awaiting Scott's return, and we will take
11:57.657 --> 12:00.020
[SPEAKER_00]: I took an intermission, it's Scott here.
12:00.060 --> 12:02.823
[SPEAKER_00]: It's he live and live in color.
12:03.344 --> 12:03.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:04.265 --> 12:04.865
[SPEAKER_00]: He's back.
12:05.386 --> 12:05.987
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:06.007 --> 12:06.467
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here.
12:06.968 --> 12:07.388
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm back.
12:07.949 --> 12:09.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here for real.
12:09.531 --> 12:10.272
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
12:10.292 --> 12:13.655
[SPEAKER_04]: I've been just like MPJ after we left, Nugget.
12:16.819 --> 12:24.508
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm pretty much doing the same thing he's doing this far as when it comes to sports, so podcasting.
12:25.028 --> 12:31.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, look at you, the timeliness of what you've just done, but Fernando poses a very serious question.
12:32.421 --> 12:39.112
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants our thoughts on debons allegations of racism on Jim Ross recently.
12:39.172 --> 12:50.732
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't interview with Maven and he talked about a higher-up person in WWE personnel many years ago,
12:50.813 --> 12:53.057
[SPEAKER_00]: You're you're not getting a push.
12:53.097 --> 12:59.307
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not good enough because you're black and everybody wondered who could this possibly be?
12:59.347 --> 13:05.517
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of people bandied about and then there was some illusions to who this could be cowboy hat.
13:05.697 --> 13:09.483
[SPEAKER_00]: So the next sent love the sooner's process elimination.
13:09.844 --> 13:12.408
[SPEAKER_00]: The answer was Jim Ross, Devon confirmed it.
13:12.809 --> 13:16.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, your thoughts on what Devon said via the interview a few weeks ago.
13:19.957 --> 13:31.953
[SPEAKER_04]: cup of thoughts, you know, initial first knee-jerk reaction is, was he just telling him what he was told?
13:32.654 --> 13:49.035
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, he's just telling him, you know, we're not going to push this guy because of, because of what he, because of the color of the skin or it's that he was just telling him what he knew that he
13:50.467 --> 13:57.101
[SPEAKER_04]: Jim Ross just isn't the, maybe isn't the, the nicest guy we thought he was.
13:58.164 --> 14:01.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, so it's, it's, it's one of the two.
14:02.172 --> 14:04.538
[SPEAKER_04]: There's, there's no in between.
14:04.939 --> 14:05.640
[SPEAKER_04]: Um,
14:06.025 --> 14:09.490
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't just be racist to one person.
14:09.851 --> 14:13.416
[SPEAKER_04]: If you see it on one, then that's how you view all black people.
14:13.576 --> 14:14.878
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how you view all people.
14:15.559 --> 14:21.789
[SPEAKER_04]: You may like certain people better, but you're overall thoughts on the overall race is going to still be that.
14:21.909 --> 14:25.094
[SPEAKER_04]: So for me, it's real simple.
14:25.114 --> 14:26.896
[SPEAKER_04]: It falls on the one of the two categories.
14:26.956 --> 14:32.725
[SPEAKER_04]: He was either relaying a message that he had heard at the table,
14:33.278 --> 14:43.373
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, the racism going on is like, yo, I'm just letting you know now you're not going to get the push because you're black or Jim Ross is in the same bunch and his one of those guys.
14:44.838 --> 14:49.403
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a great assessment is one of the other and Jim Ross at this time.
14:50.044 --> 15:11.908
[SPEAKER_00]: As we're doing this episode, as not spoken publicly about with Devon, I said, I've a love to hear as perspective on what happened all those years ago because we know that in WWE, especially in the creative room in certain spaces, people did have that ideology that black men, you weren't worthy of being championed,
15:11.888 --> 15:17.678
[SPEAKER_00]: play out in WWE on television in storyline.
15:17.718 --> 15:20.764
[SPEAKER_00]: So this isn't some outside the box idea.
15:20.804 --> 15:24.250
[SPEAKER_00]: This was something brought to television using very slick words.
15:24.290 --> 15:31.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go back with Triple H in that period with Booker T back at WrestleMania in 19, basically saying that, hmm,
15:31.042 --> 15:34.925
[SPEAKER_00]: your kind doesn't get to be WWE world heavyweight champion.
15:35.286 --> 15:36.767
[SPEAKER_00]: That was on television.
15:36.807 --> 15:39.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Those were the illusion said on TV.
15:40.270 --> 15:43.293
[SPEAKER_00]: We've had people in power in WWE.
15:43.673 --> 15:45.975
[SPEAKER_00]: Be very racist towards black talent.
15:45.995 --> 15:53.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Henry can to attest to that and very deep and very graphic detail over the years.
15:53.481 --> 15:54.562
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's one of two things.
15:54.622 --> 16:01.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether JR was relaying a message from people in that company to
16:01.028 --> 16:08.724
[SPEAKER_00]: brutally honest at the time about how some people felt about pushing black talent in WWE or he had those sentiments.
16:09.165 --> 16:13.974
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one or the other and I would really like to hear his perspective.
16:14.014 --> 16:15.718
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's going through a lot of health issues.
16:16.139 --> 16:18.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it, but we got one side of the story.
16:18.864 --> 16:22.632
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to hear what JR really has to say because good old JR.
16:22.612 --> 16:35.385
[SPEAKER_00]: don't want to keep saying good old when there's nothing good there, we shall see about it, but there is a history of racism in WWE based on how they characterize black characters over the years.
16:35.785 --> 16:37.047
[SPEAKER_00]: That is not a lie.
16:37.387 --> 16:38.468
[SPEAKER_00]: That is not a fair.
16:38.508 --> 16:40.771
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a fact that we have seen.
16:40.791 --> 16:43.013
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can pull up the clips.
16:43.593 --> 16:44.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Be a witness to it.
16:45.455 --> 16:52.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Vince McMahon on a live paper view,
16:54.151 --> 17:01.482
[SPEAKER_03]: to a white guy to a white guy in a do-rad with the black guy standing there.
17:01.582 --> 17:01.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
17:03.845 --> 17:05.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Think about that.
17:07.651 --> 17:08.932
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a wild clip.
17:08.993 --> 17:09.914
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a wild clip.
17:10.735 --> 17:11.937
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a wild clip.
17:12.157 --> 17:12.758
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a wild.
17:13.279 --> 17:17.986
[SPEAKER_04]: He goes and daps up the dogs or like an omics, a wild, wild, wild, wild, wild.
17:18.126 --> 17:20.529
[SPEAKER_03]: King booker is watching.
17:21.250 --> 17:21.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
17:24.138 --> 17:24.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
17:24.739 --> 17:24.879
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
17:24.959 --> 17:25.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
17:26.041 --> 17:26.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Wild.
17:27.002 --> 17:30.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Things that actually happened in WWE.
17:31.950 --> 17:34.975
[SPEAKER_00]: And if this happened in 2020-25, that man would have lost his job.
17:35.556 --> 17:39.522
[SPEAKER_00]: If that ever got out in the mainstream, would have been gone today.
17:40.864 --> 17:41.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Back in 2006, 2007.
17:42.066 --> 17:43.969
[SPEAKER_00]: And up on the radar.
17:46.058 --> 17:47.180
[SPEAKER_00]: that actually happened.
17:47.421 --> 17:49.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's crazy.
17:49.625 --> 18:04.894
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I said, like, it ain't a stretch back then that could have happened because, look at the establishment, look at the president's that was set on a paper view that people bought and that's what you saw live.
18:04.874 --> 18:05.575
[SPEAKER_00]: insanity.
18:06.135 --> 18:09.098
[SPEAKER_00]: So, those are all thoughts on that situation.
18:09.118 --> 18:11.820
[SPEAKER_00]: The GRR decides to release a statement and talk about it.
18:12.301 --> 18:16.284
[SPEAKER_00]: We were reconvene here in office, also in the show, and see what's up with that.
18:16.905 --> 18:34.240
[SPEAKER_00]: As we now move on to some other topics that hand involving WWE present day, and that brings us to Friday night's SmackDown this past Friday, and Salt Lake City, Utah, the night before Saturday night's main event in the very same city,
18:34.220 --> 18:43.029
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Smackdown, we've talked about this for the last few weeks and honestly, several months, not a great show week to week.
18:43.509 --> 18:58.945
[SPEAKER_00]: The saving grace for the last couple of months has been the United States Championship Open Challenge, restarted by then champion Samu Zane, continued by current champion Ilia Draganov, and he's been the saving grace of this show along
18:58.925 --> 19:20.646
[SPEAKER_00]: alongside his opponents in this past Friday was no exception had another great match against Nathan Fraser for the championship when multiple segments just love the physicality the back and forth action the both guys went out there and put on the show and it just really makes this championship mean something when you know at least once a week.
19:20.626 --> 19:29.502
[SPEAKER_00]: on a show that's not very good bell to bell, you're going to get a gym of a match because Elliot's ragging off and whoever you face is simply great at what they do.
19:32.107 --> 19:32.989
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was a good match.
19:34.772 --> 19:37.136
[SPEAKER_04]: I actually thought this was one of the better SmackDown's.
19:37.617 --> 19:41.103
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not wrong about your assessment of the overall program though.
19:41.745 --> 19:44.710
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, the weekly
19:45.702 --> 19:51.317
[SPEAKER_04]: The weekly US title open challenge has been a lot of fun and this was no different.
19:51.337 --> 19:56.430
[SPEAKER_04]: They got almost 20 minutes and a good showcase for Nathan Frazier as well.
19:57.232 --> 20:01.062
[SPEAKER_04]: We've been in the tag team and got a good opportunity to really show what you could do.
20:02.408 --> 20:05.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he's a great single's wrestler when he's given the chance to go out there.
20:05.835 --> 20:12.008
[SPEAKER_00]: He did so again, scary spot towards the enemy, Atlanta on his neck, but thankfully they recovered and Ilya got the win.
20:12.088 --> 20:15.996
[SPEAKER_00]: So great showing for both guys, SmackDown being ahhh.
20:16.921 --> 20:33.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Barely better than usual, you know, it's just a slot to get through even at two hours now because this show is ran by an idiot road dog and AI apparently, but let's get into the greater discussion about that show in particular.
20:33.509 --> 20:39.536
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the lowest attended houses in a long time for WWE.
20:40.097 --> 20:45.844
[SPEAKER_00]: And Salt Lake City, Utah, it was Halloween, but still you can pull a crowd on Halloween.
20:46.545 --> 20:51.431
[SPEAKER_00]: They pulled 4,000 fans on a Friday night.
20:52.472 --> 21:01.002
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a, I want to say maybe like a 2022 house show number, you would pull for a non-tellivized
21:01.336 --> 21:02.398
[SPEAKER_00]: not great.
21:03.019 --> 21:14.097
[SPEAKER_00]: This is led to discussions about WWE pricing out families for these televised non-pile events for raw and SmackDown.
21:14.537 --> 21:21.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Raw is still doing fairly good with their shows SmackDown has been struggling a bit to get sales of very soft.
21:22.250 --> 21:25.555
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about this before on the show.
21:25.805 --> 21:29.031
[SPEAKER_00]: about WWE having this boom period.
21:29.151 --> 21:30.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Things are going well creatively.
21:31.455 --> 21:41.472
[SPEAKER_00]: We sense an inflection point has arrived regarding the creative process and how that translates into people wanting to buy tickets to see shows live.
21:41.933 --> 21:46.380
[SPEAKER_00]: The main PLE shows, I'm not too concerned about because people are still buying tickets.
21:46.741 --> 21:49.686
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some of our series, they're going to get tickets to the big
21:49.666 --> 21:55.936
[SPEAKER_00]: three or four PLEs each year for WWE, they will spin money for these shows if it's good.
21:56.456 --> 22:06.892
[SPEAKER_00]: A big test is going to be running it back in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42 over the two nights and expecting people to spin a whole lot of money and running it back in the same city second year in a row.
22:06.913 --> 22:07.894
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to see.
22:07.874 --> 22:08.895
[SPEAKER_00]: how that's going to go.
22:09.336 --> 22:25.953
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want Scott's thoughts on whether or not WWE is reaching that dreaded plateau of fan engagement for these SmackDown shows that could trickle over to Monday Night Raw because families are being priced out.
22:26.333 --> 22:36.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Take your prices are a little bit too high at this point in time to partake in WWE programming especially when the creative in some instances is very soft right now.
22:39.700 --> 22:57.463
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, I think there's a lot to that, you know, I don't, I don't think it's wrong to say that there are people getting priced out like I don't think you can did not that there's no way you can and the prices are much different than they were a year or two years ago.
22:57.544 --> 22:59.326
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's no way you can't say that.
22:59.346 --> 23:00.748
[SPEAKER_04]: So I agree with you on that point.
23:01.429 --> 23:09.319
[SPEAKER_04]: But also like it was Halloween and there were let me tell you I went to a chocolate tree and I
23:09.923 --> 23:16.374
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we move for 30 minutes, so I, I, I believe a lot of people were out.
23:16.434 --> 23:22.183
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, I'm not, I, I was a kid when good or wrestling show in Angle, get a whole tub of candy and watch the wrestling on TV.
23:22.403 --> 23:27.131
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, that, that doesn't really get to me too much.
23:27.772 --> 23:35.104
[SPEAKER_04]: If it does it again this week, okay, now now now we might be on the something,
23:35.202 --> 23:41.560
[SPEAKER_04]: Like when they had seen punk and AJ Lee and pretty sure that house was almost sold out or close to it.
23:41.640 --> 23:45.651
[SPEAKER_04]: So I know when they came around the North of Matthew Long ago, that place was sold out.
23:46.092 --> 23:47.035
[SPEAKER_04]: I great.
23:47.167 --> 23:58.619
[SPEAKER_04]: They still pull the big houses we need to, but I think this says more to the lack of debt and the lack of star power that's on SmackDown.
23:58.639 --> 24:00.761
[SPEAKER_04]: Look at what you've got going on on Raw, though.
24:00.781 --> 24:05.727
[SPEAKER_04]: When you talk about the better houses and stuff, they got seeing punk there.
24:05.787 --> 24:07.368
[SPEAKER_04]: Now he's the World Heavyweight Champion.
24:07.789 --> 24:11.412
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got, you had Seth Rollins over there who was your World Heavyweight Champion.
24:11.833 --> 24:13.815
[SPEAKER_04]: You had Roman Reigns,
24:13.795 --> 24:15.219
[SPEAKER_04]: was showing up a lot over there.
24:15.419 --> 24:16.963
[SPEAKER_04]: You had Jay Uso over there.
24:17.344 --> 24:20.111
[SPEAKER_04]: You had, uh, you got gunther over there.
24:20.171 --> 24:23.159
[SPEAKER_04]: You had, I mean, look at who you have over there.
24:23.199 --> 24:25.284
[SPEAKER_04]: Dominic Mysterio, say what you want about.
24:25.304 --> 24:26.708
[SPEAKER_04]: Ripley.
24:27.329 --> 24:31.899
[SPEAKER_04]: you're most popular women are over there because Bianca's not here.
24:32.159 --> 24:37.010
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're most popular women are all who's not all wrong besides Cody.
24:37.431 --> 24:43.503
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, to me, I think it speaks more to the lack of who's there on SmackDown.
24:44.666 --> 24:46.710
[SPEAKER_04]: And I mean, Cody's there.
24:46.730 --> 24:47.532
[SPEAKER_04]: That's cool.
24:47.883 --> 24:49.404
[SPEAKER_04]: But who else is there?
24:49.765 --> 24:51.927
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that speaks more of it to me.
24:52.227 --> 24:54.609
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying you're wrong about the price, though, because you can't say that.
24:54.629 --> 24:58.052
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think there's a lot of other elements that are going on too.
24:58.293 --> 25:05.139
[SPEAKER_04]: And if we just keep it in a book, they just don't have as good a product as what they had going on.
25:05.339 --> 25:08.402
[SPEAKER_04]: Like it's just, it's not at that same quality right now.
25:08.522 --> 25:11.084
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think all of those factors are attributed.
25:11.104 --> 25:15.088
[SPEAKER_04]: If they were still on a high level storyline,
25:16.047 --> 25:25.404
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we'd be having this conversation yet, but they just don't have the story, and I don't think SmackDown has the appeal that a raw has.
25:26.847 --> 25:31.796
[SPEAKER_00]: You've made some very good points, and I'm not gonna dispute not a single one of them because you're spot on.
25:31.856 --> 25:36.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando makes a point about a draft for both brands.
25:38.896 --> 25:40.379
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know how to do a draft.
25:40.399 --> 25:43.725
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the problem unfortunately with that.
25:44.105 --> 25:46.029
[SPEAKER_00]: We can scream draft all day.
25:46.790 --> 26:03.520
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a shake-up, I absolutely agree, but when they did a draft last year and you at Lee Fitting, who comes from the world of ESPN who had to be a part of some NFL drafts over the years
26:03.500 --> 26:09.269
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know how to present that presentation to WWE.
26:09.590 --> 26:13.336
[SPEAKER_00]: You do everything else except that I was done.
26:13.736 --> 26:19.686
[SPEAKER_00]: So our theory, our idea would be to implement WWE free agency.
26:19.666 --> 26:21.269
[SPEAKER_00]: you do a trade deadline.
26:21.590 --> 26:29.327
[SPEAKER_00]: You can make up like these contracts or up, who's going to snatch a poo, making it all this and scrap daddy, you know, really fight for talent.
26:29.447 --> 26:37.825
[SPEAKER_00]: That will be fun if they can think outside the box to really reshuffle these rosters because SmackDown is out of a codey and a Randy.
26:38.507 --> 26:39.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Hang on, nothing.
26:40.220 --> 26:45.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing, every bit of star power is now on Monday, and I raw via Netflix.
26:45.531 --> 26:55.891
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was one of the fears that Netflix is the new Fox, the new shiny toy on this nice splashy platform that they're pushing.
26:56.192 --> 26:58.937
[SPEAKER_00]: And then unfortunately on USA Network, you don't cable.
26:58.917 --> 27:01.502
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is not as prestigious as being on Netflix.
27:01.562 --> 27:05.651
[SPEAKER_00]: So that focus, that attention is not going to be there for SmackDown.
27:05.771 --> 27:17.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Clearly, there's more creative focus and care for Monday's show versus Friday's show and then you hear about personnel not being there for Saturday night's main event taking the night off like.
27:19.792 --> 27:28.941
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't issued with that because if you don't care enough to show up, why should I care enough to watch or buy your tickets if you're not backstage running the show.
27:29.641 --> 27:38.029
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul of it, Bruce Pritchard, you want to take the night off because you're not on NBC because they say, a show for you, the why should I watch?
27:38.089 --> 27:39.671
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not an a show for me either.
27:39.691 --> 27:43.194
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are things that kind of grind me a bit priorities.
27:43.234 --> 27:43.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Where are they?
27:43.695 --> 27:44.796
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to be more political.
27:44.876 --> 27:47.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul, focus on your show.
27:47.078 --> 27:48.341
[SPEAKER_00]: Focus on SmackDown.
27:48.381 --> 27:49.945
[SPEAKER_00]: The rating system has changed.
27:49.985 --> 27:51.308
[SPEAKER_00]: The demos are soft.
27:51.348 --> 27:52.811
[SPEAKER_00]: The ticket sales aren't there right now.
27:53.172 --> 27:54.916
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a complete blip on the radar.
27:54.997 --> 27:56.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Things back to normal next week.
27:56.821 --> 28:05.020
[SPEAKER_00]: But as Scott said, for every high there's a low and I remember that when there was WrestleMania back in Texas,
28:05.253 --> 28:16.525
[SPEAKER_00]: a few years ago, I said, that was the moment, the thing turned for WWE and that was been still there for you to leave due to a lot of stuff he was doing on the low.
28:17.406 --> 28:19.468
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, that was the moment things changed.
28:19.508 --> 28:24.253
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the moment the game changed and the game changed again in a russomania.
28:24.373 --> 28:28.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Ironically enough, russomania is always at inflection point for WWE.
28:28.878 --> 28:45.655
[SPEAKER_00]: good or bad and creatively since that time it has not been great can they correct it possibly it starts with ticket sales it starts with refocusing on your shows your talents spreading the wealth around and for the love of God
28:45.635 --> 29:10.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Shake things up and try at least on Friday nights and one theory that I like to see is possibly, and I know because I like to make money, maybe WWE needs to run mid-sized arenas, like they did on Monday night Raw, to maybe change the atmosphere and vibe of SmackDown, because there's bigger arenas right now, then I bring a lot of heat on Friday nights.
29:13.917 --> 29:14.718
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'll be fine.
29:14.778 --> 29:15.779
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything goes in a cycle.
29:15.839 --> 29:18.742
[SPEAKER_04]: So no, no, don't go through this little struggle.
29:18.922 --> 29:20.444
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get through it, smack down.
29:20.464 --> 29:23.928
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get a nice story, and no, don't get the boost back.
29:23.968 --> 29:27.852
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's not anything you can be able to do about the ticket prices.
29:27.932 --> 29:32.037
[SPEAKER_04]: So now it's just all about being able to get a good story out there.
29:32.057 --> 29:38.083
[SPEAKER_04]: But I, like I said, I think this week and next week's attendance will be the more telling stories.
29:38.384 --> 29:42.388
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not really too concerned about a holiday.
29:42.841 --> 29:47.349
[SPEAKER_04]: I could, I just could see how we being a day where people are like, nah, it was a nice day, too.
29:47.870 --> 29:48.170
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
29:48.932 --> 29:49.833
[SPEAKER_04]: Why would I want to be inside?
29:50.334 --> 29:50.695
[SPEAKER_04]: I get it.
29:52.779 --> 29:54.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando, why you got left for my comment?
29:54.381 --> 29:56.866
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a new, we need a new landscape.
29:56.926 --> 29:57.367
[SPEAKER_00]: We do.
29:57.447 --> 29:59.070
[SPEAKER_00]: We do need a new landscape.
29:59.991 --> 30:03.718
[SPEAKER_00]: We can, hey, I produce a new landscape, you know.
30:04.340 --> 30:06.803
[SPEAKER_04]: And if we're going to do the drive, we're going to do the drive, man.
30:07.083 --> 30:08.645
[SPEAKER_04]: Put him, put him all back in the same room.
30:09.005 --> 30:12.068
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, put him all back in the same room, we're in the shirts.
30:12.088 --> 30:15.492
[SPEAKER_04]: And when you get drafted, you got to take the shirt off and you got to go on the other locker room.
30:16.873 --> 30:17.414
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
30:17.434 --> 30:19.276
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanted, I wanted back like that.
30:19.296 --> 30:23.160
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember undertaker got drafted and he was pissed off.
30:23.180 --> 30:25.042
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I just remember that man being pissed off.
30:25.102 --> 30:27.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody look at real shook, didn't know what to say.
30:28.405 --> 30:28.966
[SPEAKER_02]: I want that.
30:29.346 --> 30:31.849
[SPEAKER_02]: I want that type of energy in the room.
30:32.538 --> 30:38.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that clip is all time because he got up, flipped the chair.
30:39.965 --> 30:46.691
[SPEAKER_00]: He proceeded to kick the door open and walked out all time.
30:46.711 --> 30:47.112
[SPEAKER_04]: Tantrum.
30:47.492 --> 30:49.894
[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of the best tantrums ever.
30:49.994 --> 30:51.255
[SPEAKER_00]: He was pissed off.
30:51.276 --> 30:52.777
[SPEAKER_00]: We need that kind of reaction.
30:53.117 --> 30:54.318
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
30:54.499 --> 30:56.500
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, back in the day they did shoot drafts.
30:56.600 --> 31:01.465
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you didn't know when you was going to go into the day you showed up
31:02.120 --> 31:08.610
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like we need that back, we need, we need you to get a little shook it about what you're going to go.
31:09.131 --> 31:10.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know, these will be real co-bladed.
31:11.254 --> 31:15.120
[SPEAKER_00]: These separate spouses back in the day like now you can be traveling with them no more.
31:15.140 --> 31:17.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
31:17.103 --> 31:17.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
31:17.904 --> 31:20.027
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to see them every other Thursday.
31:20.733 --> 31:21.955
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how that's gonna go.
31:22.035 --> 31:23.477
[SPEAKER_00]: So they did that back in the day.
31:23.497 --> 31:24.518
[SPEAKER_00]: I need some surprises.
31:25.500 --> 31:36.535
[SPEAKER_00]: I need some something, something to re-energize this, bring back the t-shirts, bring back the ticker, do something to make this interesting.
31:36.555 --> 31:39.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause last year's draft, that's why they didn't do one this year.
31:39.319 --> 31:41.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause it was terrible, it was dry.
31:41.321 --> 31:43.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the fact is nobody really moved in a way.
31:43.444 --> 31:46.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody stayed where they were, essentially.
31:46.308 --> 31:47.650
[SPEAKER_00]: Which was like, what kind of draft is this?
31:48.491 --> 31:49.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Be for real.
31:50.635 --> 32:00.630
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so that's SmackDown, that's our sidebar discussion about where things are in terms of ticket sales and if they can turn things around specifically on Friday night.
32:01.491 --> 32:20.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's now get into a show I was already dragged in which Saturday night's main event going down live in the same venue the next night and personnel decided to take the night off.
32:20.099 --> 32:21.582
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Bruce Pritch and I'm out.
32:22.003 --> 32:27.854
[SPEAKER_00]: So basically we had road dog and AI running the show and we need prayers already because please, please.
32:28.375 --> 32:30.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have four matches on tap.
32:30.840 --> 32:34.026
[SPEAKER_00]: Our first matches for the undisputed WWE championship.
32:34.066 --> 32:41.280
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes versus the alleged new American dream Drew McIntyre.
32:41.260 --> 32:47.530
[SPEAKER_00]: match was perfectly fine, both guys are very good at what they do, but we knew how this would end.
32:47.590 --> 32:55.042
[SPEAKER_00]: And Cody, once again, used some interesting means to retain the championship.
32:55.462 --> 32:57.225
[SPEAKER_00]: The rules of the match is pretty simple.
32:59.228 --> 33:06.660
[SPEAKER_00]: A Druke would win the championship via DQ or
33:06.995 --> 33:10.440
[SPEAKER_00]: At one point, and we had incidental contact with the referee.
33:10.861 --> 33:20.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Referee was knocked out for 25 minutes, went to sleep, took a nap, and then in that time, Drew McIntyre introduces the WWE Championship belt.
33:20.895 --> 33:24.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody uses it to DDT, Drew McIntyre on said belt.
33:25.081 --> 33:36.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Crossroads, W, and at that moment, I wanted to myself, how low can Drew McIntyre go?
33:38.011 --> 33:41.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Highlander can't come quick enough for him to film.
33:41.916 --> 33:55.773
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to be off television, needs to honestly recharge, reset, and maybe come back as a baby face at this point, because clearly this is run as course as a heel, you can't talk shit and keep losing like this.
34:00.178 --> 34:07.107
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's uh, when you can get the guy, I mean, even Christian be ran to Jordan with a DQ.
34:07.475 --> 34:34.073
[SPEAKER_04]: If you can't even get the Christian when we own real rough patches, um, this, this, this was set up perfectly for, for, for Cody to give a nice little chase could have got a nice wind back at, at survivor series, um, but yeah, Drew is Drew's just there to put the, the top baby faces over and this is what I mean, now what?
34:34.998 --> 34:39.965
[SPEAKER_04]: Now you do Cody, we got going on, but guy, we're gonna do next.
34:39.985 --> 34:40.666
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's next?
34:41.367 --> 34:46.994
[SPEAKER_04]: Solo going back down that road, like Randy.
34:47.675 --> 34:50.159
[SPEAKER_04]: We've been, we've been churning this one for a while.
34:50.179 --> 34:51.761
[SPEAKER_04]: We've been making butter.
34:51.781 --> 34:55.245
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we, we got going on right now.
34:55.326 --> 35:04.498
[SPEAKER_04]: So shout out to Drew, he got the bag, he got his world title five minutes.
35:05.002 --> 35:05.785
[SPEAKER_04]: and now we're here.
35:05.965 --> 35:14.556
[SPEAKER_04]: So go get your movie, go chop some heads off, and then when they chop your head off, come on back and get yourself a title.
35:17.067 --> 35:36.561
[SPEAKER_00]: You just said that so graphically go, film highlander, shop some heads off, get your head shopped off, come back when some titles reset, you know, what's so crazy to me is after you get a bag, you thought like your whole push was going to be different, you get a bag and like is just the same old same old.
35:36.541 --> 35:38.244
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, what are we doing here?
35:38.444 --> 35:44.616
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think they really dropped the ball on his storyline going against the bloodline that was good stuff.
35:44.636 --> 35:51.028
[SPEAKER_00]: He was hunting down each member of the bloodline out for vengeance for what they did to him a few years ago.
35:51.148 --> 35:57.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's sad because like this dude, five years ago, was carrying this company during a freaking pandemic.
35:57.820 --> 35:58.901
[SPEAKER_00]: with no one was there.
35:59.342 --> 36:02.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think he's in properly rewarded for that ever since.
36:02.125 --> 36:11.697
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had teases at the championship, won the title for five minutes at last year's WrestleMania only to lose it to Damian Priest.
36:11.717 --> 36:20.487
[SPEAKER_00]: And since that time, you had a great few to see and Paul culminated in one of the best Hannah Selmatches ever, but since that time, it's like he's been really,
36:20.973 --> 36:31.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Not doing much in a unfortunate and, you know, his prime years, they're adding up, he's almost 40 years old, your body will break down.
36:31.084 --> 36:36.750
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to be as fast as you used to be, you know, going to do the athletic things you used to do in the ring.
36:36.771 --> 36:43.538
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have to modify your style a bit at some point and we'll see if you can reset come back, but do you think this.
36:43.518 --> 36:55.182
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of trolling he'll gimmick has won his course, would you like to see Drew come back as something a bit different, a bit more serious whenever he returns a WWE if that break is coming for him.
36:57.895 --> 37:26.772
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's I think he's found a nice balance between the two because when you step up face to face with him, he still drew back in time, but he still looks like if he wanted to he could just break your arm and have like, you know, I so and I think he's found a good balance of where he can say something and you're kind of like, yeah, do I want to say something back to him do do I want to do I want to test this bully, you know, you're supposed to stand up to your bullies maybe I'll let this one go.
37:27.055 --> 37:27.996
[SPEAKER_04]: There's let him say what he wants.
37:28.056 --> 37:31.740
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think he's found a good balance between the two.
37:33.262 --> 37:34.864
[SPEAKER_04]: Could he be more serious, yeah.
37:35.544 --> 37:39.749
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean, how much more serious is he gonna get?
37:39.789 --> 37:44.354
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think he's, I think he's a good balance.
37:44.374 --> 37:49.119
[SPEAKER_04]: If you want to turn on baby face and have him start clowning him, I think he loses a little bit of a zish.
37:49.179 --> 37:57.028
[SPEAKER_04]: So I just keep him a heel or just having a attack everybody and just having no friends.
37:58.004 --> 37:58.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for that.
37:59.085 --> 37:59.906
[SPEAKER_00]: It works for Gunther.
37:59.926 --> 38:00.968
[SPEAKER_00]: He's great at what he does.
38:01.068 --> 38:03.271
[SPEAKER_00]: So we shall see where it goes from here.
38:03.371 --> 38:07.676
[SPEAKER_00]: But decent match to start the show even though the outcome was predictable.
38:08.357 --> 38:18.850
[SPEAKER_00]: As we get to our next match, which was for the WWE Women's Championship, it was Tiffany Stratton, the champion with an engineering going up against Jade Cargill, the challenger.
38:19.011 --> 38:25.699
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was a one-sided match that basically
38:25.679 --> 38:37.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Dominant, powerful, menacing, a badass and as expected, got the W with jaded to become the new WWE women's champion.
38:37.437 --> 38:47.974
[SPEAKER_00]: The fourth time is the charm to win this title about damn time long overdue thought this was one of Jade's best showing just being dominant.
38:47.954 --> 39:03.130
[SPEAKER_00]: Just being dominant, just being out there, whooping ass, because the first year in WWE, it was selling, and learning how to sell, and being the baby face in peril, and making hot tags, and getting your comeback.
39:03.210 --> 39:04.393
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like,
39:05.099 --> 39:06.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Great, that was fun.
39:06.201 --> 39:08.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let her be a dominant badass.
39:08.304 --> 39:11.989
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like you're booking in reverse now, that now she must be dominant.
39:12.009 --> 39:16.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she must be the unsalkable force until Bianca Balellaire comes back.
39:16.176 --> 39:18.118
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it and I'm happy for her.
39:18.179 --> 39:20.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Match was solid for what it was.
39:20.843 --> 39:23.867
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a nice dominant showcase for Jay Cargill.
39:26.125 --> 39:42.252
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a taffy times over, and, you know, I'm here for Jade, I'm just, and maybe this is me nitpicking, like, I'm always happy for the queens to get their crowns.
39:42.452 --> 39:44.556
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't don't don't get it twisted, but
39:45.025 --> 39:52.978
[SPEAKER_04]: Now she's bad, she's mean all of a sudden and now she can just plow through everybody.
39:53.158 --> 39:57.405
[SPEAKER_04]: Now it's like, oh, we ain't doing that 10 minutes, spectacle.
39:57.425 --> 39:58.527
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm running through you.
39:59.308 --> 40:01.392
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just doing, we doing drills.
40:02.053 --> 40:02.714
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what?
40:03.756 --> 40:07.101
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just, sometimes it's a lot.
40:07.161 --> 40:08.984
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, it's sometimes that's a lot.
40:09.024 --> 40:09.565
[SPEAKER_04]: Like it's,
40:10.878 --> 40:16.106
[SPEAKER_04]: Give me a week of her like mulling somebody and showing a whole new side, right?
40:16.166 --> 40:20.472
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not, she's not Brock Lesnar, just like this ain't Brock and John Cena?
40:20.552 --> 40:24.498
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't know, that could just be mean nitpicking.
40:24.538 --> 40:29.325
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't like the way she's just like, now she's,
40:29.592 --> 40:40.552
[SPEAKER_04]: He's on the dark side and she's now got the dark side of the force on her side so she can just all of a sudden completely dominate Tiffany on a whole different level it's I guess she's got the knee injury to but.
40:42.075 --> 40:43.678
[SPEAKER_04]: It's always just funny how that works.
40:45.141 --> 40:51.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I am not disagreeing with you because I just said they're booking a reverse with her.
40:52.019 --> 40:58.154
[SPEAKER_00]: For a year, it was the Jay Caragill you must learn how to sell in a work showcase.
40:58.655 --> 40:59.718
[SPEAKER_00]: They did that.
41:00.139 --> 41:04.350
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, as fans, we're supposed to be like men in black.
41:04.370 --> 41:05.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's normalize you.
41:05.693 --> 41:08.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's forget how she was pushed and presented.
41:08.540 --> 41:13.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she turned here for a grand total of seven business days.
41:13.710 --> 41:24.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's go ahead and do this dominant champion push and she doesn't sell now and she'll move through people in five minutes or less.
41:25.600 --> 41:26.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Where was this year ago?
41:27.703 --> 41:30.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you had to slow roll her.
41:30.446 --> 41:31.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's learn how to work.
41:31.948 --> 41:33.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's learn how to sell.
41:33.189 --> 41:34.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm all for that.
41:34.511 --> 41:38.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all for learning the basic fundamentals of professional wrestling.
41:38.796 --> 41:44.663
[SPEAKER_00]: But now you want me to believe that she's a killer after two weeks.
41:46.185 --> 41:47.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, cool.
41:47.907 --> 41:50.249
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gonna move through our opponents to be on come back.
41:50.390 --> 41:50.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
41:51.511 --> 41:54.915
[SPEAKER_00]: She's basically doing the reverse
41:58.912 --> 42:04.939
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, I don't see her mowing through people, um, because the first of all, they don't have the body else to give her.
42:05.660 --> 42:07.082
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, because everybody else has tied up.
42:08.123 --> 42:09.365
[SPEAKER_04]: Charlotte and Alexa are tied up.
42:10.546 --> 42:14.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Meachon is nowhere to be found because she has to be in the US title picture somewhere.
42:15.192 --> 42:16.693
[SPEAKER_04]: The Lena Vega is now a manager.
42:16.754 --> 42:23.822
[SPEAKER_04]: So, maybe she's working with the dark arts.
42:24.764 --> 42:31.383
[SPEAKER_04]: they don't have, they literally don't have anybody else who can go after Jade right now.
42:33.027 --> 42:33.930
[SPEAKER_04]: Two feet to her.
42:37.049 --> 42:40.633
[SPEAKER_00]: damn shame and nobody, nobody is there.
42:41.254 --> 42:45.699
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to circle back on some comments that Fernando suggested for them.
42:45.719 --> 42:57.251
[SPEAKER_00]: From the first match, he suggested Opafimmy comes out out of nowhere attacks Cody one day and proclaims he wants to make history as a biggest debut by dethroning him.
42:57.932 --> 42:59.874
[SPEAKER_00]: That would shake things up.
42:59.894 --> 43:02.297
[SPEAKER_00]: That would make things interesting.
43:02.277 --> 43:08.988
[SPEAKER_00]: because God knows they need something, because COVID right now has no body except Randy or naming T's and F. A to four years.
43:12.814 --> 43:13.756
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it was interesting.
43:16.761 --> 43:18.103
[SPEAKER_04]: Do they put the rocket on them?
43:18.924 --> 43:24.614
[SPEAKER_04]: I could see them calling them and just having them lose, but I don't think that does open anything.
43:24.674 --> 43:29.061
[SPEAKER_04]: So if he's not winning, I don't want it and I don't see them having them win.
43:29.378 --> 43:37.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you're not going to give me what I want, don't even tease me with the possibility because I don't like half-a-half stuff, not nostalgia at all.
43:37.685 --> 43:41.508
[SPEAKER_00]: As we also scroll down to another comment that was made in conversation.
43:41.568 --> 43:49.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando, once Tony DeAngelo, to be Jay's ballet, dressed to hear Jay say, Tony, cut shit again.
43:49.755 --> 43:58.963
[SPEAKER_04]: Will we get it uncensored?
43:59.315 --> 44:02.804
[SPEAKER_04]: Jade's heavy, um, it's not the family.
44:03.786 --> 44:05.891
[SPEAKER_04]: Represent Jade, it's not the worst idea.
44:07.575 --> 44:09.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's as she needs some hitters.
44:09.743 --> 44:16.472
[SPEAKER_00]: She needs a family maybe, the dawn can provide protection and services and assistance.
44:16.492 --> 44:17.453
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all for that.
44:17.694 --> 44:20.237
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go ahead and make it happen.
44:20.617 --> 44:22.500
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're trying to figure out what Tony D is.
44:22.921 --> 44:30.631
[SPEAKER_00]: He was cut off in XT a few months ago trying to get repackaged because you can't be a mobster completely in WWE.
44:30.651 --> 44:33.715
[SPEAKER_00]: But that would be like a nice ol' site gag if they weren't going that direction.
44:34.296 --> 44:36.038
[SPEAKER_00]: But happy for Jade.
44:36.018 --> 44:42.850
[SPEAKER_00]: S. Scott says we celebrate our black queens, even though we question the booking and presentation sometimes for sure.
44:43.611 --> 44:51.245
[SPEAKER_00]: And that division honestly has not been the same since Naomi left to go to Monday Night Raw and Bianca got hurt.
44:52.587 --> 44:55.512
[SPEAKER_00]: When they left there with the division in the story,
44:55.610 --> 45:06.733
[SPEAKER_00]: It just has not been the same ever since along with Tiffany having the most repetitive matches and feuds with Naya and Jade all summer long.
45:08.063 --> 45:09.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
45:09.265 --> 45:10.566
[SPEAKER_00]: Smack down these Jesus.
45:11.107 --> 45:12.649
[SPEAKER_00]: They need something.
45:13.190 --> 45:13.530
[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
45:14.091 --> 45:14.452
[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
45:14.932 --> 45:18.737
[SPEAKER_00]: But we do know it's probably leading to Jade versus Bianca at WrestleMania.
45:18.777 --> 45:20.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for that.
45:20.319 --> 45:25.426
[SPEAKER_00]: That's been teased for quite some time Bianca and her finger.
45:25.466 --> 45:26.728
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a long road.
45:26.748 --> 45:32.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully she's back soon, preferably by the warrior rumble in late January.
45:33.325 --> 45:39.661
[SPEAKER_00]: Our next match, my favorite match of the night, which was Dury Domiting Mysterio, defending his I.C.
45:39.701 --> 45:44.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Championship against Roosev and Panta and a Chobot threat match, I enjoyed it.
45:45.315 --> 45:48.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Great hygiene, great fun, shenanigans of foot.
45:49.306 --> 45:52.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Dury Dom finds a way to win by cheating, of course.
45:52.371 --> 45:57.759
[SPEAKER_00]: And in this case, Rusev eats the pin to protect Pinta, which I'm not mad at at all.
45:58.140 --> 46:01.064
[SPEAKER_00]: So fun match, love the high jinx.
46:01.585 --> 46:02.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Dury Dom is we get to.
46:02.807 --> 46:06.853
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you can't deny him too much longer.
46:06.873 --> 46:09.978
[SPEAKER_00]: The people want to cheer this man.
46:09.998 --> 46:12.141
[SPEAKER_00]: How long can they delay this?
46:14.686 --> 46:14.966
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
46:15.026 --> 46:15.507
[SPEAKER_04]: Good match.
46:16.348 --> 46:17.369
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice wind for Dom.
46:18.290 --> 46:21.594
[SPEAKER_04]: And we we we we we can delay the longer because I think Monday night Ross at a few more seats for that turn later on down the road.
46:21.614 --> 46:22.535
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more, couple more stops.
46:22.615 --> 46:23.716
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a minute before we hit that full baby face turn.
46:23.736 --> 46:25.058
[SPEAKER_04]: But nobody can turn you back like your father.
46:25.078 --> 46:26.379
[SPEAKER_04]: So we got a few more stops.
46:26.820 --> 46:27.440
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:27.460 --> 46:28.061
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:28.081 --> 46:28.722
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:28.742 --> 46:29.443
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:29.463 --> 46:30.023
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:30.043 --> 46:31.105
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:31.125 --> 46:32.506
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:32.526 --> 46:33.347
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:33.387 --> 46:34.048
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:34.068 --> 46:35.149
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:35.169 --> 46:36.250
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:36.351 --> 46:37.512
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:37.532 --> 46:38.153
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:38.173 --> 46:38.773
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:38.813 --> 46:39.474
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:39.634 --> 46:40.455
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:40.475 --> 46:41.016
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:41.036 --> 46:41.617
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:41.637 --> 46:42.197
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:42.217 --> 46:42.798
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:42.818 --> 46:42.938
[UNKNOWN]: We got
46:43.492 --> 47:01.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I will say as we'll get to later, Ray, it was a challenge for a moment, until a turn, because they were, yeah, that moment, and I was like, oh, Lord, y'all gonna let him really get you to his daddy.
47:02.032 --> 47:07.838
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about that in a bit, but that swell is increasing and dirty dumb.
47:08.199 --> 47:09.360
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think he's great.
47:09.700 --> 47:13.144
[SPEAKER_00]: I have many things to say about him later.
47:13.613 --> 47:20.606
[SPEAKER_00]: really didn't match, enjoyed it for what it was, Rusev has no heat as a heal at all.
47:21.427 --> 47:35.132
[SPEAKER_00]: Just there, does his job and that he gets his check, and he goes home, do you think he needs to call
47:37.762 --> 47:40.285
[SPEAKER_04]: No, because I'm not trying to hear a lot of talk.
47:40.325 --> 47:43.188
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not talking in Russian and that we noticed she's not Russian.
47:43.228 --> 47:44.409
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm good.
47:44.429 --> 47:45.390
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I'm saying?
47:45.450 --> 47:47.452
[SPEAKER_04]: So like I'm straight on that.
47:48.514 --> 47:52.878
[SPEAKER_04]: What I do think Russo has, I think Russo and Shamus could be a really good tag team.
47:53.899 --> 47:57.884
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that somehow should have, that should have came out of that.
47:58.564 --> 48:01.828
[SPEAKER_04]: Shamus should just be forming tag teams with people he likes to fight.
48:01.994 --> 48:03.940
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like, you know what, let's just, let's just team up.
48:03.980 --> 48:14.209
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I think that's going to be his best bet is to find him and aid an English to come do some entrances form, they got the DNA relationship relationship going on.
48:14.229 --> 48:16.736
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe get ruse of day or yeah.
48:16.796 --> 48:17.117
[SPEAKER_04]: So.
48:17.097 --> 48:34.532
[SPEAKER_04]: One of that, but I either think he's going to get a tag team or he needs to go find someone that he can play off of a straight type of dude that he can play off of because what he got going on right now is he's just out there being a guy getting paid and that's fine.
48:35.187 --> 48:36.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, pays bills.
48:37.349 --> 48:39.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're trying to be like me trying to manifest tag teams.
48:40.352 --> 48:41.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Good luck with that.
48:41.773 --> 48:43.414
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not going to say what I said.
48:43.454 --> 48:47.598
[SPEAKER_00]: What I've been saying that has traumatized me, but you go ahead and wish.
48:48.039 --> 48:56.907
[SPEAKER_00]: And you go ahead and hope that Rusev and Shamus becomes a tag team that Shamus tags with all of his opponents because he's just a bad ass and he respects his guys.
48:56.947 --> 48:58.388
[SPEAKER_00]: He goes up against, I get it.
48:58.848 --> 49:00.790
[SPEAKER_00]: You go ahead and you live that dream for me.
49:01.210 --> 49:05.194
[SPEAKER_00]: I had that dream last year and it was denied to me.
49:05.174 --> 49:16.932
[SPEAKER_00]: But you dream for both of us, okay, you take that mantle and you try to manifest the dream tag team for us and honor of what I was denied and deprived of last year.
49:16.952 --> 49:19.776
[SPEAKER_04]: I will do that.
49:20.217 --> 49:31.975
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, while I'm at it, I am, am I messing around and, and throw a, a return of
49:32.917 --> 49:34.440
[SPEAKER_00]: actually let's not do that.
49:34.840 --> 49:35.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
49:35.842 --> 49:36.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Good on that reunion.
49:36.944 --> 49:38.847
[SPEAKER_00]: I am very at peace with that, okay?
49:38.927 --> 49:39.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much.
49:40.429 --> 49:43.675
[SPEAKER_00]: As Fernando notes, when Liv returns, she will be cheered.
49:44.035 --> 49:45.738
[SPEAKER_00]: That's when Dom goes babyface.
49:46.720 --> 49:47.421
[SPEAKER_00]: Possibly.
49:48.343 --> 49:48.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Possibly.
49:49.424 --> 49:51.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Or she could whip his ass or make an eyes at Roxanne.
49:55.274 --> 49:56.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
49:56.977 --> 49:57.017
[SPEAKER_00]: I.
49:58.381 --> 50:02.765
[SPEAKER_04]: I think him and his daddy are going to come together, and that's what's going to turn on baby face.
50:02.785 --> 50:03.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so too.
50:04.027 --> 50:12.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there is going to be like a hallmark moment when they reunite, and he realizes my family ain't shit, ain't nothing like blood.
50:13.035 --> 50:13.936
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's hug it out, dad.
50:14.196 --> 50:17.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that is equity, and that will be built up beautifully.
50:17.960 --> 50:28.050
[SPEAKER_00]: The irony of the judgment day turning on him and all he has left is legitimately his father
50:29.667 --> 50:35.478
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, like judgment day beat him down, Ramester, it comes out saves a day.
50:35.498 --> 50:40.387
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, they get the mic in the ring and he's like, listen, do no matter what happens, you'll always be my son.
50:40.888 --> 50:45.617
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, like he hits you with that line in the middle of the ring and they hug, come on.
50:46.053 --> 50:46.613
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
50:46.934 --> 50:47.414
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a wrap.
50:47.834 --> 50:48.455
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a wrap.
50:48.475 --> 50:54.180
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, the emotions would be real because they love each other down to real and try and happy tears.
50:54.360 --> 50:58.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, come on, it's just it writes itself if you want to do it in that way.
50:59.304 --> 51:02.987
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he can honor his dad and his other dad, Eddie by cheating all the time.
51:03.027 --> 51:04.949
[SPEAKER_00]: His matches in a very endearing way.
51:05.049 --> 51:06.390
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like the best of both worlds.
51:06.910 --> 51:15.958
[SPEAKER_00]: If you choose to go in that direction and then as Fernando tries to salvage this new League of Nations,
51:15.938 --> 51:18.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando, we need a new Imperium.
51:18.602 --> 51:19.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
51:19.523 --> 51:28.757
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we get like Gonsher, Shamus, Brufsev, Lou Vegas for the streets and out of the Americano, C8 coming back no more.
51:29.157 --> 51:30.920
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in Brace in Mexican culture.
51:31.160 --> 51:31.721
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gone.
51:32.122 --> 51:35.106
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you could revamp Imperium, cool.
51:36.428 --> 51:41.175
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you got to get, you got to get the cream out the Oreo, get Grace and Waller out the new day.
51:42.016 --> 51:43.178
[SPEAKER_04]: I can give you a stir.
51:47.478 --> 51:48.639
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, pause.
51:49.780 --> 51:50.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Pause.
51:54.084 --> 51:58.428
[SPEAKER_04]: You're right, but that's literally what you're going to have to do, if you want to form that legal issues.
51:58.748 --> 52:03.492
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys just scoop it, don't leave the chocolate and just keep it moving.
52:06.354 --> 52:12.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you know, because you open the door, it's not an Oreo, dude.
52:12.460 --> 52:14.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a donker rule, it's a donker rule, okay?
52:15.362 --> 52:16.303
[SPEAKER_00]: It's donker rule.
52:17.228 --> 52:30.114
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh man, and then three was that was they put that man in the middle that was a Oreo Yeah, they literally put it they walked out and had him fill the middle.
52:30.855 --> 52:33.440
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't Oreo It wasn't Oreo.
52:33.460 --> 52:34.883
[SPEAKER_00]: It was doing
52:34.863 --> 52:36.185
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very deliberate.
52:36.305 --> 52:37.567
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very in your face.
52:38.168 --> 52:43.797
[SPEAKER_00]: The new day and shit for that, but I'm glad hopefully this is almost over because I can't.
52:44.057 --> 52:45.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I really can't put them.
52:45.439 --> 52:48.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk about a pointless hill turn in hindsight, what the hell?
52:48.804 --> 53:02.625
[SPEAKER_00]: What any event, smooth onto our main event, which was a polarizing main event, ladies and gentlemen, it was Jay Uso, main event Jay Uso, and Sam punk
53:02.605 --> 53:08.532
[SPEAKER_00]: If you tuned in to the first half of the match, my condolences, because it was not good.
53:08.992 --> 53:30.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if it came in for the second half of the match, it was better, I will say, because it went from morning water to maybe a little bit of water and a little bit of season in the water, you know, as you try to prepare your meal, it was a fully complete, but it was decent enough, and Sam Punk is now your new world heavyweight champion.
53:33.487 --> 53:34.328
[SPEAKER_00]: J. Uso.
53:40.976 --> 53:51.530
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first time I've been hearing this a little bit last couple of shows because I said until the internet translate television till those.
53:53.712 --> 53:58.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Boobs online generate the television can buy stock.
53:58.934 --> 54:04.181
[SPEAKER_00]: her a little bit of that on Saturday, her a little bit of that on Monday.
54:04.241 --> 54:05.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a trend alert?
54:06.884 --> 54:07.645
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see.
54:08.446 --> 54:09.628
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see about this.
54:12.171 --> 54:15.896
[SPEAKER_00]: The one thing I never wanted for Jay was to become a gimmick.
54:15.916 --> 54:21.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Never want to him to be more than never want to him to be just an insurance and a catchphrase.
54:22.154 --> 54:40.011
[SPEAKER_00]: The on course are taking a lot out of him and he gets winded in his matches and it showed for the first half of this match when punk had to carry him and then you see like this kind of back and forth about punk being old in this and then the third listen you can do what you can do against who you're against.
54:39.991 --> 54:43.517
[SPEAKER_00]: and Jay was a half-speed for half of this match.
54:43.838 --> 54:44.859
[SPEAKER_00]: That's reality.
54:45.120 --> 54:46.642
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not putting that all on the CM Punk.
54:46.662 --> 54:47.724
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at Jay Uso.
54:48.145 --> 54:49.828
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's got to be a refocus.
54:49.908 --> 54:51.671
[SPEAKER_00]: So we came to be doing it more on course.
54:52.032 --> 54:55.097
[SPEAKER_00]: It was going to expend you like that during matches.
54:55.077 --> 55:11.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Second half was good, but it's it's time to kind of reassess Jay's positioning on Monday night Raw in the main event scene because my fear is now he's hitting a plateau and the blue birds they will get louder
55:11.463 --> 55:31.190
[SPEAKER_00]: they will get a little bit sharper here and that might cause him to reassess what he needs to do to kind of re-figure out this character because when he was in a bloodline, he was more than a gimmick, he was more than a catchphrase, he was a fully formed, realized character that got over.
55:31.551 --> 55:33.133
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why he got over.
55:33.113 --> 55:46.992
[SPEAKER_00]: not because of eating because he had a story that people connected to as a man, as a human being, as someone that people wanted to root for, because of what he had to overcome in his own family.
55:51.939 --> 55:54.503
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's part you're right about, and it's definitely why he got over.
55:55.604 --> 55:57.227
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm on the other side of that.
55:57.487 --> 56:01.753
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Jay-us was just fine, man.
56:01.902 --> 56:04.867
[SPEAKER_04]: where he's at is where he's supposed to be at.
56:04.987 --> 56:09.994
[SPEAKER_04]: Like he's not supposed to be the top top guy.
56:10.054 --> 56:13.660
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think he was ever intended to be the top top guy.
56:13.680 --> 56:17.426
[SPEAKER_04]: As much as he was just intended to be viewed among the top guys.
56:18.287 --> 56:21.953
[SPEAKER_04]: So when you get a big win like to now from now one when you talk about J.U.
56:21.973 --> 56:29.985
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're talking about a former World Heavyweight Champion, regardless of how the rain was or what the rain was, he's a former World Heavyweight Champion.
56:30.809 --> 56:39.746
[SPEAKER_04]: and they've kept him in that area that kept him in that mix, kept him mingling among those main Avengers, mingling among the top guys.
56:40.828 --> 56:44.455
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've done a good job of establishing him of where he is.
56:44.956 --> 56:47.380
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, was the match good?
56:47.400 --> 56:53.492
[SPEAKER_04]: No, you won't, you won't get me trying to defend the match or defend J. Uso for that night.
56:53.894 --> 57:00.081
[SPEAKER_04]: They had a bad night, and you can't have, you can't have multiple bad nights as a main event or I get that.
57:00.742 --> 57:10.432
[SPEAKER_04]: But there is still a very organic connection that he has that people will still believe him when it comes to win that match.
57:10.633 --> 57:15.078
[SPEAKER_04]: When it came down the stretch, like you said that back half, people were still into the match.
57:15.098 --> 57:19.142
[SPEAKER_04]: People were believing he could win that match against a CM Punk.
57:20.320 --> 57:22.542
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's because he had already won a title.
57:22.562 --> 57:24.324
[SPEAKER_04]: It's because he had already beat a gun there.
57:24.785 --> 57:29.209
[SPEAKER_04]: When he put that sleeper, when he put that chokehold on, that wasn't people bought into that.
57:29.650 --> 57:42.123
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think they've done what they needed to do to establish another main eventor who is believable, who can take these losses, and people still will rally behind him.
57:42.704 --> 57:49.551
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, what you said about the Boobers and if it continues in each city
57:49.717 --> 58:03.945
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we'll reassess and we'll figure out what we're going to do because I think they're setting him up for when Jimmy leaves because he's not going to have, you're not going to be able to go back to the Usos or anything like that, so they're they're setting him up one is next trajectory, but.
58:04.313 --> 58:10.888
[SPEAKER_04]: I just think you, as of right now, you host study, man, like he is, he is where he's supposed to be.
58:10.908 --> 58:14.716
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think he's still going to get these great interested.
58:14.957 --> 58:17.141
[SPEAKER_04]: You still see a ton of people out there eating.
58:17.161 --> 58:18.244
[SPEAKER_04]: People still want to eat.
58:18.605 --> 58:19.968
[SPEAKER_04]: People still want to run it back.
58:20.228 --> 58:21.090
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe not as many.
58:21.830 --> 58:26.614
[SPEAKER_04]: If there's 9,08725 when I run it back, okay?
58:26.634 --> 58:28.756
[SPEAKER_04]: And you got your 275 in the pocket.
58:28.776 --> 58:30.257
[SPEAKER_04]: We're like, woo, you know.
58:30.577 --> 58:34.080
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think he's just fine as of right now.
58:34.641 --> 58:36.923
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, we can reassess this in a month and see where he's at.
58:36.943 --> 58:39.365
[SPEAKER_04]: But as of right now, I think Jay is good.
58:39.385 --> 58:40.866
[SPEAKER_04]: He's established where he's at.
58:42.508 --> 58:43.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Great points.
58:44.109 --> 58:51.195
[SPEAKER_00]: We will reassess if it's a trend alert in a month.
58:51.378 --> 58:55.988
[SPEAKER_00]: 250 people eat and the other 500 sit down.
58:56.008 --> 58:57.993
[SPEAKER_00]: We might have to have a discussion.
58:58.574 --> 59:05.089
[SPEAKER_00]: If 6,000 people eat and 1,000 sit down, we're going to have to have a discussion about that, particularly as well.
59:05.530 --> 59:07.374
[SPEAKER_00]: If the numbers continue to swing.
59:08.517 --> 59:10.922
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
59:10.902 --> 59:29.215
[SPEAKER_00]: reset the copilot see what's going on here see what we can do to fix that but yeah we're going to reassess I kind of love that because we notice trends if it starts to happen we'll talk about it and we reassess it's a little there there right now is fully there we're going to see but
59:29.195 --> 59:32.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not the greatest performance from Jay on Saturday.
59:33.001 --> 59:35.987
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot defend it because it was not very good.
59:36.027 --> 59:37.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Punk tried his very best.
59:38.050 --> 59:38.791
[SPEAKER_00]: He did what he could.
59:39.092 --> 59:40.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to put that all on him either.
59:41.155 --> 59:43.820
[SPEAKER_00]: You do what you can with you have and it wasn't much.
59:44.141 --> 59:46.845
[SPEAKER_00]: But they did salvage things during the second half of that match.
59:46.885 --> 59:51.473
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say because the first half was definitely a struggle bus for sure.
59:51.453 --> 59:59.944
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we get to Monday night raw, I do want to talk about Saturday night's main event in terms of the presentation.
01:00:04.413 --> 01:00:06.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they need to stop relying on nostalgia.
01:00:06.697 --> 01:00:18.099
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do with this particular show because it feels outdated when they bring back Oh, it was from the 80s and the aesthetic and the music.
01:00:18.580 --> 01:00:26.775
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a disconnect with today's audience and I think they need to overhaul the presentation bring in more modern.
01:00:26.755 --> 01:00:28.778
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's one of the issues here.
01:00:29.179 --> 01:00:35.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was a great concept of a 40 plus years ago, and it was a time when television was completely different.
01:00:35.628 --> 01:00:40.716
[SPEAKER_00]: When you at 30 million people watching NBC, again, that right now, unless it's Sunday night football.
01:00:41.136 --> 01:00:45.242
[SPEAKER_00]: So essentially, you have to kind of rethink how you want to present this show.
01:00:45.282 --> 01:00:46.584
[SPEAKER_00]: Nostalgia is great.
01:00:46.724 --> 01:00:55.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think there is a disconnection with the presentation and the fans
01:00:55.898 --> 01:00:58.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't remember Saturday night's main event.
01:00:58.542 --> 01:01:03.008
[SPEAKER_00]: They weren't alive during the whole Kogan era of it all in B.C.
01:01:03.048 --> 01:01:04.230
[SPEAKER_00]: when it was a top draw.
01:01:04.570 --> 01:01:07.935
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of reconfigured the presentation of this brand.
01:01:08.376 --> 01:01:13.363
[SPEAKER_00]: If you choose to try it out a few times a year because now you're bump from NBC to peacock.
01:01:13.744 --> 01:01:17.569
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you got person who don't want to be there and a Saturday night well listen.
01:01:17.549 --> 01:01:28.921
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a mini PLA treated as such revamped the presentation, bring it to the year 2025 and not so much 19.85 with all due respect.
01:01:32.725 --> 01:01:36.549
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a peacock special.
01:01:36.569 --> 01:01:37.630
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it matters.
01:01:38.251 --> 01:01:45.278
[SPEAKER_03]: That means, you know,
01:01:45.933 --> 01:01:47.214
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't really notice it.
01:01:47.374 --> 01:01:50.217
[SPEAKER_04]: I kind of love some of the old school stuff.
01:01:50.257 --> 01:01:52.599
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the mics that they use.
01:01:52.839 --> 01:01:54.641
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, like I like the mics.
01:01:54.861 --> 01:02:00.686
[SPEAKER_04]: I like the music, I miss Jessie, but, you know, it is what it is.
01:02:01.386 --> 01:02:04.329
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, Jessie, if in a cage, imagine you can talk about it.
01:02:08.272 --> 01:02:08.332
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
01:02:08.352 --> 01:02:14.758
[SPEAKER_01]: We got no cage if I, you know, within the old school, in the old school,
01:02:14.890 --> 01:02:15.971
[SPEAKER_00]: I ain't there, man.
01:02:15.991 --> 01:02:16.572
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen.
01:02:17.073 --> 01:02:19.276
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Fernando circles back saying, I don't know.
01:02:19.296 --> 01:02:22.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand why they bought it back to begin with.
01:02:23.101 --> 01:02:26.746
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been resurrected so many times over the years before Fox.
01:02:26.766 --> 01:02:28.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say NBC dropped it.
01:02:28.829 --> 01:02:31.332
[SPEAKER_00]: They did do the poor ratings in the mid 2000s.
01:02:31.372 --> 01:02:32.093
[SPEAKER_00]: That is true.
01:02:32.113 --> 01:02:33.916
[SPEAKER_00]: They did try to bring it back.
01:02:33.996 --> 01:02:35.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the presentations dated.
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:36.960
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the mic.
01:02:37.160 --> 01:02:38.302
[SPEAKER_00]: I do love that.
01:02:38.362 --> 01:02:41.005
[SPEAKER_00]: They had to get the old square for refits out of there.
01:02:41.466 --> 01:02:42.147
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just
01:02:43.814 --> 01:02:54.625
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to kind of reassess what they want this to be, because up shortly, it could be a cool thing and notice on peacock because they wanted to get out of their dear early, but they got demoted because of that.
01:02:54.965 --> 01:02:57.728
[SPEAKER_00]: So now your specials are now on peacock versus NBC.
01:02:58.228 --> 01:02:59.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Just revamp it.
01:02:59.509 --> 01:03:03.854
[SPEAKER_00]: It was going to be a two-hour show, make a count for something and go from there.
01:03:04.214 --> 01:03:07.878
[SPEAKER_00]: And most importantly, be present for your goddamn show, Paul.
01:03:08.398 --> 01:03:09.519
[SPEAKER_00]: Be present for your show.
01:03:09.900 --> 01:03:13.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't take the night off.
01:03:13.463 --> 01:03:14.666
[SPEAKER_00]: show up.
01:03:14.686 --> 01:03:15.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Be present.
01:03:16.008 --> 01:03:17.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop being at the president's house.
01:03:18.073 --> 01:03:18.734
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop that.
01:03:19.135 --> 01:03:20.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Focus on your show.
01:03:20.638 --> 01:03:22.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let co-pilot run everything.
01:03:22.702 --> 01:03:22.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
01:03:22.983 --> 01:03:23.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
01:03:23.604 --> 01:03:24.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
01:03:26.851 --> 01:03:27.292
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
01:03:28.134 --> 01:03:28.454
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
01:03:28.875 --> 01:03:32.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's get to Monday night we're all going down live in.
01:03:33.022 --> 01:03:38.109
[SPEAKER_00]: New Mexico, a different venue for Monday night raw, smaller venue, but hot crowd.
01:03:38.550 --> 01:03:47.002
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they need to try that a little bit more often, get you some more energetic crowds off there, get them hype, get them into it, and make them care a bit.
01:03:47.523 --> 01:03:50.828
[SPEAKER_00]: One of my favorite segments from the show was as we alluded to earlier.
01:03:50.848 --> 01:03:55.474
[SPEAKER_00]: It was dirty, Dominic Mysterio, basically saying, I'm the greatest luchador of all time.
01:03:55.915 --> 01:04:01.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I am the King of the Luchadoris, I'm the greatest I see in Schupple, a mega champion ever.
01:04:01.523 --> 01:04:05.236
[SPEAKER_00]: no one can touch me, no one's on my level, then his daddy.
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:12.641
[SPEAKER_00]: Ray Mysterio comes out, he's back, looking good, and we had a great promo exchange.
01:04:12.701 --> 01:04:14.166
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like,
01:04:15.074 --> 01:04:28.654
[SPEAKER_00]: If this was two years ago, or even three years ago, Dirty Dom would be kind of green on the microphone, and he would say things that wouldn't be naturally healish, just kind of like a tri-hard.
01:04:29.175 --> 01:04:37.187
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he is so comfortable that he was riffing off the dome, telling Ray A, man.
01:04:37.227 --> 01:04:44.878
[SPEAKER_00]: You talking about great luchadors, like Blue Demon,
01:04:44.858 --> 01:05:03.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Eddie Guerrero and Santos like a keep keep keep my dad's name out of your mouth like that was a great line that popped the crowd then he caught out his dad's mustache trying to grow facial like me like off the dome stuff that a guy to a point where we had to kind of get the crowd back on his side.
01:05:03.860 --> 01:05:09.486
[SPEAKER_00]: because they were seeing a dirty Tom's name during the promo, Ray felt it down felt it.
01:05:09.867 --> 01:05:12.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Thankfully, you had fans like, no, this is Ray Mysterio.
01:05:12.710 --> 01:05:13.971
[SPEAKER_00]: We ain't doing this tonight.
01:05:14.332 --> 01:05:16.594
[SPEAKER_00]: We love Dom Wayne hijack in this segment.
01:05:16.614 --> 01:05:17.996
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got things back on track.
01:05:18.476 --> 01:05:21.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And Ray basically said, as long as I'm here, you ain't the king and nothing.
01:05:22.181 --> 01:05:26.465
[SPEAKER_00]: As long as I'm here, you ain't the best Mysterio in this family.
01:05:26.906 --> 01:05:33.293
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they went at it and then Ray dropped us on to 619 and tried to drop the dime and then
01:05:33.273 --> 01:05:35.637
[SPEAKER_00]: But I loved this segment so much.
01:05:36.258 --> 01:05:38.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Father and son have a great chemistry.
01:05:38.501 --> 01:05:41.666
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a fun talking segment is leading to a match apparently.
01:05:42.327 --> 01:06:01.997
[SPEAKER_00]: And if the direction is going to be John Cena versus Dirty Dominic Mysterio S. Obama series, you got basically two shows set it up in Boston and at Madison Square Garden in the next couple of weeks to make this match a reality, S. Obama series in San Diego.
01:06:02.551 --> 01:06:15.164
[SPEAKER_00]: you know that John Cena will try and succeed at hitting a six one nine on Dom.
01:06:17.667 --> 01:06:20.550
[SPEAKER_00]: So mighty confident at Dom's getting that match.
01:06:20.570 --> 01:06:20.951
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
01:06:21.151 --> 01:06:23.093
[SPEAKER_00]: I sound very confident.
01:06:23.233 --> 01:06:31.562
[SPEAKER_04]: I think
01:06:32.032 --> 01:06:35.096
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the 619 that I really want.
01:06:35.617 --> 01:06:37.059
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to drop the dime.
01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:39.722
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the springboard drop the dime.
01:06:40.503 --> 01:06:45.209
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the springboard centons.
01:06:45.229 --> 01:06:48.113
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the springboard crossbody.
01:06:48.934 --> 01:06:51.177
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the whole Luchio or repertoire.
01:06:51.677 --> 01:06:54.381
[SPEAKER_04]: I want them to walk the ropes like the parker.
01:06:55.002 --> 01:06:55.743
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the whole thing.
01:06:57.745 --> 01:07:01.330
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this segment was great.
01:07:01.580 --> 01:07:14.863
[SPEAKER_04]: Ray Mysterio and um obviously they have chemistry because their family, Amelia, um what what what can you ask for out of out of a segment with arguably
01:07:15.974 --> 01:07:26.512
[SPEAKER_04]: the person on your roster, they get one of the biggest reactions, a returning legend, setting up, I think a triple A mega championship match, which will be big for them.
01:07:26.552 --> 01:07:33.865
[SPEAKER_04]: And then if that is the match that Dom gets that Survivor Series, I would expect him to win.
01:07:34.823 --> 01:07:40.613
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's a big match for Dominic Mysterio and it's a big opportunity for him.
01:07:40.873 --> 01:07:44.038
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, big big year for Dominic Mysterio in 2025.
01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:46.042
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a big year.
01:07:46.142 --> 01:07:47.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a big turning point for him.
01:07:47.845 --> 01:07:49.448
[SPEAKER_00]: The fans want to cheer him.
01:07:49.488 --> 01:08:00.426
[SPEAKER_00]: That segment, as I said, could have went in a number of directions, because you had people singing his name and Ray was like, okay, y'all like I'm out here.
01:08:00.406 --> 01:08:01.888
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supposed to be the baby face.
01:08:02.049 --> 01:08:05.454
[SPEAKER_00]: It was safe if I people were blowing it down because I was like not tonight, guys.
01:08:05.874 --> 01:08:06.936
[SPEAKER_00]: The same thing I had to do that.
01:08:07.357 --> 01:08:13.466
[SPEAKER_00]: But that swell is there for a dirty dumb to be a baby face heading into next year.
01:08:13.687 --> 01:08:15.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a license to print money.
01:08:15.309 --> 01:08:20.758
[SPEAKER_00]: You hear his contemporaries, his co-workers, speak very highly of him.
01:08:20.818 --> 01:08:29.451
[SPEAKER_00]: They see it, Cody Rose tried it to my 15 years listen.
01:08:29.431 --> 01:08:30.672
[SPEAKER_00]: when he finally gets it.
01:08:31.073 --> 01:08:31.613
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, no, no, no.
01:08:31.973 --> 01:08:33.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, now is the time.
01:08:33.335 --> 01:08:40.281
[SPEAKER_00]: In the next two to three years, he's got to be like one of your focal main eventors on WWE television.
01:08:40.341 --> 01:08:47.748
[SPEAKER_00]: The vision is right there, best of real vision and actuality of what he can be for them as a top star in WWE.
01:08:48.148 --> 01:08:58.898
[SPEAKER_00]: I will also say this
01:08:59.772 --> 01:09:03.379
[SPEAKER_00]: Dirty Dombs hair on Monday was phenomenal.
01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:06.224
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the sheen was, the conditioner.
01:09:06.264 --> 01:09:15.581
[SPEAKER_00]: That hair was a look joyously, shimmery, shiny, and just very, very luscious on Monday.
01:09:19.548 --> 01:09:19.908
[SPEAKER_04]: Great.
01:09:20.129 --> 01:09:21.932
[SPEAKER_04]: Go tell them the call, Pantene.
01:09:22.655 --> 01:09:25.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, get that sponsorship bag.
01:09:25.719 --> 01:09:29.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, he could be a panteen per commercial right now.
01:09:30.125 --> 01:09:37.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that hair was just moisturized, down, pressed, down.
01:09:38.076 --> 01:09:40.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Have more moisture than Logan's hair?
01:09:41.261 --> 01:09:41.701
[SPEAKER_00]: I said it.
01:09:43.444 --> 01:09:49.472
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, Dom AJ Styles and Nathan Frazier can all have a nice panteen commercial.
01:09:49.604 --> 01:09:51.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, get that panty bag.
01:09:52.489 --> 01:09:54.232
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that, real absolutely.
01:09:54.853 --> 01:09:56.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:09:56.395 --> 01:10:02.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando, one of those some shade, a scene, a scene has no lift to do a 619.
01:10:02.586 --> 01:10:04.889
[SPEAKER_00]: He will find the lift Fernando for one night.
01:10:05.170 --> 01:10:13.063
[SPEAKER_00]: He will find the spirit of the of the luchadora and do what he needs to do to at least hit a 319.
01:10:15.659 --> 01:10:18.863
[SPEAKER_04]: He'll hit a 309, do it at the bottom rope.
01:10:20.645 --> 01:10:38.646
[SPEAKER_00]: All righty, all righty, then another highlight of Monday, Matt Raw was the Kabuki Warriors versus Bailey and Lara Vakiria, very fun to act, he matches well, went through a couple of segments, says, well, and then what I noticed about this match was the fact that Oscar,
01:10:38.626 --> 01:10:43.057
[SPEAKER_00]: didn't really go after Bailey physically in this match.
01:10:43.498 --> 01:10:51.318
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of distance, and we want to know why that was happening as Lyra ate the loss, unfortunately.
01:10:51.759 --> 01:10:54.205
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was more about Bailey,
01:10:54.185 --> 01:10:57.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And Oscar not really going at it.
01:10:57.410 --> 01:10:58.391
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a story there.
01:10:58.411 --> 01:11:02.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Even Laura mentioned it last week that the Kabukah warriors didn't attack you.
01:11:02.478 --> 01:11:03.719
[SPEAKER_00]: They went after me.
01:11:03.739 --> 01:11:07.385
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a story there as to why they're pulling off on Bailey a bit.
01:11:07.766 --> 01:11:09.007
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see where it goes.
01:11:09.067 --> 01:11:14.656
[SPEAKER_00]: Then of course, when they try to beat down Bailey and Lara post match, Charlotte and Alexa make the save.
01:11:14.696 --> 01:11:16.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Leeds to a women's
01:11:16.038 --> 01:11:21.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Tech team championship match next week between Charlotte and Alexa versus Oscar and Kyrie.
01:11:22.409 --> 01:11:28.800
[SPEAKER_00]: That should mean event Monday night Raw and I think that is when the title changes hands.
01:11:32.286 --> 01:11:34.350
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Bailey.
01:11:35.191 --> 01:11:40.018
[SPEAKER_04]: damage control 2.0 except Oscar would be the headhunter and that one.
01:11:41.140 --> 01:11:43.364
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, that could be interesting.
01:11:44.225 --> 01:11:48.331
[SPEAKER_04]: Or it could be just, you know, smoke just to just throw everyone off.
01:11:48.351 --> 01:11:51.056
[SPEAKER_04]: But I like that they have a story.
01:11:51.937 --> 01:12:03.595
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't involve detail, but the titles are a part of the story, not the main
01:12:03.575 --> 01:12:08.340
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the women on Raw are cooking right now, like let's let's keep it a book.
01:12:08.441 --> 01:12:12.285
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've done a really good job with the women's stories for the most part on Monday night.
01:12:12.305 --> 01:12:20.714
[SPEAKER_04]: Raw, um, keeping all the women involved, they've, they got the dad going raw women's champion wrestling on TV like what the hell is going on.
01:12:21.095 --> 01:12:30.105
[SPEAKER_04]: So I got, I, I can't say anything but good things about what they've done with the raw women's roster so far.
01:12:30.625 --> 01:12:40.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the women's roster from Monday Night Raw has been stacked, telling multiple stories, the women's tag team division.
01:12:42.961 --> 01:12:44.462
[SPEAKER_00]: We pray for times like this.
01:12:45.203 --> 01:12:46.104
[SPEAKER_00]: We pray for it.
01:12:46.905 --> 01:12:50.088
[SPEAKER_00]: This titles were like nothing for the longest time.
01:12:50.128 --> 01:12:51.730
[SPEAKER_00]: And now they mean something.
01:12:51.750 --> 01:12:52.851
[SPEAKER_00]: You have teams.
01:12:53.211 --> 01:12:54.372
[SPEAKER_00]: You have stories.
01:12:54.412 --> 01:12:56.034
[SPEAKER_00]: You have some layers to it.
01:12:56.334 --> 01:12:57.596
[SPEAKER_00]: And it means something.
01:12:57.616 --> 01:13:01.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact you have multiple storylines, not surrounding the main championship.
01:13:01.900 --> 01:13:06.745
[SPEAKER_00]: Back you'll launch the icy women's champion, still putting over Maxine, Dupri and Promo's.
01:13:07.285 --> 01:13:10.048
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the book of warriors being
01:13:10.028 --> 01:13:15.075
[SPEAKER_00]: quite possibly the best vaccine coming up now, winning the title's next.
01:13:15.496 --> 01:13:22.006
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Stephanie Vicarre and Nikki Bella, this side story and Nikki is going to demolish Stephanie imminently.
01:13:22.046 --> 01:13:23.708
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a nice side story too.
01:13:24.049 --> 01:13:27.073
[SPEAKER_00]: You got the judgment day getting wins on Nikki Bella.
01:13:27.494 --> 01:13:28.956
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got that going on.
01:13:29.016 --> 01:13:38.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Rear Ripley, the Oscar of an off television, but you notice how the division is still pretty damn good because they know how to book it.
01:13:38.530 --> 01:13:48.423
[SPEAKER_00]: You got something going on right now, but it shows you what can be done and how the women's division on this show has carried Monday night raw really all year long.
01:13:51.107 --> 01:13:56.013
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't smack that doesn't don't have the women to do with raw stewing.
01:13:56.254 --> 01:13:58.176
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't they don't have the debt.
01:13:58.377 --> 01:14:04.164
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't have the debt and they don't have the star power to do what they're doing on Monday night raw.
01:14:04.765 --> 01:14:08.470
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, if you take Charlotte and Alexa out, both shows
01:14:09.631 --> 01:14:11.534
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a huge hit to smack down.
01:14:12.455 --> 01:14:15.039
[SPEAKER_04]: It's my inner hit to Monday night raw.
01:14:15.881 --> 01:14:17.824
[SPEAKER_04]: Yo, you won't even notice it next week.
01:14:18.184 --> 01:14:21.089
[SPEAKER_04]: Smack down, you're gonna be like, God, Lee, can we get Charlotte and Alexa coming out here?
01:14:21.109 --> 01:14:21.790
[SPEAKER_04]: What's going on?
01:14:22.030 --> 01:14:22.752
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's out here?
01:14:22.832 --> 01:14:23.252
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's here?
01:14:23.753 --> 01:14:32.567
[SPEAKER_04]: So, smack, again, I think the thing that is being highlighted, more than anything,
01:14:32.783 --> 01:14:41.793
[SPEAKER_04]: is the debt and what each roster looks like and how raw is just so stacked compared to SmackDown right now.
01:14:42.854 --> 01:14:46.659
[SPEAKER_00]: SmackDown, like it's given, we don't sci-fi.
01:14:47.940 --> 01:14:49.202
[SPEAKER_00]: This test was given right now.
01:14:49.222 --> 01:14:54.247
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't sci-fi if it was taped and nobody cares.
01:14:54.508 --> 01:14:56.690
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of where it's at in terms of priority.
01:14:57.131 --> 01:14:57.891
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not great.
01:14:58.312 --> 01:15:02.757
[SPEAKER_04]: What about the start tape and on Tuesdays again?
01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:06.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh Lord, and they start taping on Tuesday.
01:15:06.844 --> 01:15:07.906
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just gonna air it on Friday.
01:15:07.946 --> 01:15:12.692
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's the end of times, officially to backslide to that degree.
01:15:13.333 --> 01:15:14.254
[SPEAKER_00]: But we shall see.
01:15:14.294 --> 01:15:21.584
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's get to our main event angle of the show, which was CM Punk and main event, who's so being back on the same page.
01:15:22.145 --> 01:15:31.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay wanted to fight alongside CM Punk, Paul Hamid trying to plant seeds of doubt, and it was against a bronze bronze breaker and bronze and read.
01:15:31.441 --> 01:15:35.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Why should I analyze the match in it just via count out?
01:15:35.146 --> 01:15:44.378
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to analyze the blow for blow account when they just into the match abruptly don't care about that and then early in the show see a pocket did this really long promo segment.
01:15:44.739 --> 01:15:49.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically saying hey, I want to thank a lot of people for this championship victory.
01:15:49.465 --> 01:15:54.732
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm calling out people who want to shot at this championship one of your fighting champion and.
01:15:54.847 --> 01:16:04.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we get someone to come out there by the name of Logan Paul and his dry hair and Sam punk is like, God, why are you here?
01:16:04.285 --> 01:16:06.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Like of all the people I right here.
01:16:07.912 --> 01:16:08.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's dry.
01:16:08.874 --> 01:16:13.783
[SPEAKER_00]: It's
01:16:17.307 --> 01:16:19.271
[SPEAKER_00]: drier than the Sahara desert.
01:16:19.611 --> 01:16:21.976
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what dry is here was, okay?
01:16:21.996 --> 01:16:22.617
[SPEAKER_00]: He's right.
01:16:22.637 --> 01:16:24.040
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs a spray bottle.
01:16:24.060 --> 01:16:30.372
[SPEAKER_00]: Spray bottle of moisturizer, leave it conditioner, shampoo, water, dry.
01:16:30.973 --> 01:16:32.015
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you have dry here?
01:16:32.035 --> 01:16:32.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that?
01:16:32.416 --> 01:16:33.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Just despicable.
01:16:33.558 --> 01:16:34.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Dry.
01:16:35.245 --> 01:16:47.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, hey, that's what it was, tumble weed hair just dry coming out there and seeing a punk like me was offended he's out there and then Paul Hamis is getting the back of the line this saying sure fight the same shoe.
01:16:48.008 --> 01:16:53.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I have two gunners right here, bronze next champ up, get in the back of the line.
01:16:53.438 --> 01:16:54.520
[SPEAKER_00]: So they beat up.
01:16:55.107 --> 01:16:59.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Paul, at some point during the show, tsunami him.
01:16:59.692 --> 01:17:04.958
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, I know y'all ain't teasing a baby face, Charon, him, please.
01:17:05.478 --> 01:17:08.401
[SPEAKER_00]: So thankfully, the order was righted.
01:17:08.982 --> 01:17:10.564
[SPEAKER_00]: But then again, you think about this.
01:17:12.426 --> 01:17:19.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Paul comes out there with some brass nucks, lays out Sam punk, looks a Paul Hayman.
01:17:20.935 --> 01:17:24.979
[SPEAKER_00]: You tellin' me, he's a part of the vision,
01:17:26.157 --> 01:17:26.618
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:26.638 --> 01:17:27.559
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:27.579 --> 01:17:27.800
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:27.860 --> 01:17:29.082
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:30.164 --> 01:17:30.324
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:30.765 --> 01:17:36.415
[SPEAKER_00]: It really speaks to how much they also miss Seth Rollins, because really.
01:17:36.795 --> 01:17:44.689
[SPEAKER_00]: And then how I think and how they think less of awesome theory, because if this was a spot, damn they gave it to Logan Paul, damn.
01:17:49.124 --> 01:17:51.767
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Logan Paul with Paul Hayman is a great idea.
01:17:51.827 --> 01:17:56.932
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, God, I think it's a great idea.
01:17:56.972 --> 01:18:01.778
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it works on so many different levels.
01:18:02.118 --> 01:18:03.760
[SPEAKER_04]: So many different levels.
01:18:05.362 --> 01:18:07.304
[SPEAKER_03]: He is everything seeing upon Hates.
01:18:07.864 --> 01:18:09.706
[SPEAKER_03]: So of course, Paul Hayman would want him.
01:18:10.587 --> 01:18:17.815
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, secondly, who better to turn brawn breaker than Logan Paul?
01:18:18.436 --> 01:18:21.380
[SPEAKER_04]: Who better for Braun Burger to be like, you know what?
01:18:21.721 --> 01:18:23.303
[SPEAKER_04]: I am sick and tired of this.
01:18:24.184 --> 01:18:26.227
[SPEAKER_04]: And then for a minute to be Logan Paul.
01:18:26.868 --> 01:18:34.238
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I think he is the perfect substitute for Seth Rollins.
01:18:34.539 --> 01:18:35.500
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's not the leader.
01:18:35.540 --> 01:18:36.942
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not the leader.
01:18:37.583 --> 01:18:40.627
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just the most annoying face of that group.
01:18:41.028 --> 01:18:42.971
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I think it's great.
01:18:43.251 --> 01:18:44.713
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what?
01:18:44.896 --> 01:19:12.490
[SPEAKER_04]: someone's been hitting the gym because he doesn't look out of place beside bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and
01:19:12.807 --> 01:19:14.832
[SPEAKER_04]: would be our great combination.
01:19:16.015 --> 01:19:23.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Paul to extract some charisma out of him, just something.
01:19:23.658 --> 01:19:25.381
[SPEAKER_00]: because he's dull on the mic.
01:19:25.762 --> 01:19:35.382
[SPEAKER_00]: If he can extract something out of him that includes shampoo, that will make me happy because I just need to load something extra.
01:19:35.783 --> 01:19:41.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Bron, I pray, who Bron talked about is the Bron Praker, is the Bron's breed.
01:19:41.995 --> 01:19:45.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I need one of my Bron Bron's to demolish this man.
01:19:45.342 --> 01:19:54.461
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Braun to whip his ass real soon and then that'll make him even more beloved as a baby face by accident.
01:19:54.882 --> 01:19:59.652
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, as Fernando suggested, this is for war games.
01:19:59.872 --> 01:20:01.596
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe that
01:20:01.913 --> 01:20:04.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul has never been in a war game slogan Paul.
01:20:04.437 --> 01:20:06.660
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that he would be great in this element.
01:20:06.940 --> 01:20:12.488
[SPEAKER_00]: He can fall out of the top of the cage You some crazy shit go out there ball out of the baseball stadium.
01:20:12.849 --> 01:20:26.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Do what you must up for the love of the game just get you some shampoo As for conditioner okay and a pump a pump yes
01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:27.222
[SPEAKER_00]: a perm.
01:20:27.242 --> 01:20:31.237
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think I don't think he should do that he needs a perm.
01:20:31.317 --> 01:20:36.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that hair is struggling a flat iron won't help he needs a perm.
01:20:38.026 --> 01:20:45.360
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, be first of all, white people don't use flat irons because that would just hear their hair average.
01:20:45.380 --> 01:20:51.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, first of all, listen, just a fried up, get a hot comb.
01:20:53.156 --> 01:20:57.264
[SPEAKER_04]: It is going to, it is as he is combing, it is going to be combing his hair out.
01:20:57.284 --> 01:21:00.490
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be bald by the time he finishes his hair and I'll build for that.
01:21:00.790 --> 01:21:09.923
[SPEAKER_00]: You listen, as Fernando said, he needs a Jericho girl, gives him so glow, you know, get this activator, get some Duke listen.
01:21:09.943 --> 01:21:11.425
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to help this man out.
01:21:11.445 --> 01:21:22.301
[SPEAKER_00]: This hair offense to me, Scott, you got this hair that should be more strized with some lotion and some cream, it is dry, dry.
01:21:23.262 --> 01:21:26.267
[SPEAKER_00]: He should be ashamed of himself, a shame, a shame.
01:21:26.507 --> 01:21:30.072
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to hit the book, shot, Larry, and you're here looking like that, get out of here.
01:21:30.541 --> 01:21:34.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.
01:21:34.025 --> 01:21:37.991
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, all right, this is a, I ain't mad if that's what it takes.
01:21:38.351 --> 01:21:46.682
[SPEAKER_04]: So my, my, my question is if this is for war games is what was Logan Paul the replacement or was this always the plan?
01:21:46.742 --> 01:21:51.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Because replacement dude, listen, they hit the emergency button, replacement.
01:21:53.130 --> 01:21:53.491
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
01:21:55.213 --> 01:21:57.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Down and down and down and down and down and down.
01:21:57.035 --> 01:21:58.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Very spotten they said no.
01:21:59.887 --> 01:22:10.325
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I think the dynamic of him, of Paul Ham and calling Logan Paul, and being like, yo, come join this group and set me in like, yo, what the hell are you doing?
01:22:10.345 --> 01:22:14.072
[SPEAKER_04]: It would have been absolutely incredible.
01:22:15.234 --> 01:22:24.831
[SPEAKER_04]: And in Logan Paul, being undermining this entire thing and trying to take over the group from the inside the whole time, would have been a great subplot, so I don't know.
01:22:25.553 --> 01:22:31.551
[SPEAKER_04]: I, I, I met I didn't think about Logan Paul and Paul Hamon together from the beginning because I think that's just such a great pair.
01:22:33.798 --> 01:22:37.690
[SPEAKER_00]: We need Paul to work a miracle to get some out of them.
01:22:37.906 --> 01:22:42.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Because right now, like me and give it to me personality wise, but we'll see what the two polys do.
01:22:42.853 --> 01:22:43.974
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got the two polys.
01:22:44.395 --> 01:22:45.676
[SPEAKER_00]: We have the two bronze bronze.
01:22:46.117 --> 01:22:49.341
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see what we get heading into Survivor Series war games.
01:22:49.862 --> 01:22:52.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Who else is going to be on the team to be determined?
01:22:52.045 --> 01:22:55.289
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see about that, but we'll see.
01:22:55.329 --> 01:22:57.552
[SPEAKER_00]: We have four weeks to build to the...
01:22:57.532 --> 01:23:09.004
[SPEAKER_00]: card were games should be exciting times indeed overall a very good episode of Monday night roll off in a hot crowd, small a crowd, but a hot crowd run amidst size arenas WWE.
01:23:09.024 --> 01:23:10.266
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the young money hungry.
01:23:10.626 --> 01:23:13.489
[SPEAKER_00]: He want to run these big arenas in need to do that.
01:23:13.849 --> 01:23:15.491
[SPEAKER_00]: David best line of the night.
01:23:15.691 --> 01:23:17.553
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to relax or yes he does.
01:23:18.014 --> 01:23:18.394
[SPEAKER_00]: He does.
01:23:19.075 --> 01:23:19.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Does.
01:23:19.916 --> 01:23:20.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Perm.
01:23:21.137 --> 01:23:21.738
[SPEAKER_00]: Just get one.
01:23:22.038 --> 01:23:23.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one
01:23:24.262 --> 01:23:40.924
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one, it's one parent man, you're just some curls, you know, you know, I tell you this, if he gets Beyonce's sacred, he will see a difference in his hair in at least three weeks, the difference to 21 days is he's the more she's up in now.
01:23:42.626 --> 01:23:47.873
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, if by survivor series of his hair looks completely different, you know what he did.
01:23:48.140 --> 01:23:48.963
[SPEAKER_00]: He went to take it.
01:23:49.385 --> 01:23:54.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Went to the website, got him some conditioner, and some moisturizer, hair curling up all of a sudden.
01:23:54.768 --> 01:23:57.238
[SPEAKER_05]: Come on.
01:23:58.062 --> 01:24:00.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando makes another boat prediction.
01:24:00.465 --> 01:24:06.092
[SPEAKER_00]: He thinks that Chad Gable is coming back to train Maxine.
01:24:06.773 --> 01:24:10.717
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be a full circle moment because Chad, you ain't getting back at Grunde, man.
01:24:10.818 --> 01:24:15.764
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gone, he's just gone, it's done.
01:24:15.804 --> 01:24:19.328
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, I'm ready for my Chad Gable baby face term.
01:24:20.455 --> 01:24:21.677
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that would be good way to turn them.
01:24:22.038 --> 01:24:24.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I need my gunner back, man.
01:24:24.321 --> 01:24:30.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I just need him to do back out there, Russell and his baby face, who he's meant to be, a damn baby face, getting over.
01:24:31.313 --> 01:24:33.557
[SPEAKER_00]: And also give me Ely, a dragon over his shadow.
01:24:33.577 --> 01:24:35.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that would be awesome.
01:24:36.322 --> 01:24:36.923
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll love that.
01:24:37.203 --> 01:24:37.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Run that.
01:24:38.165 --> 01:24:41.811
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so ever so brief, Liz, diving to some NXT talk from last night.
01:24:42.472 --> 01:24:46.699
[SPEAKER_00]: A decent show by NXT standards today.
01:24:46.679 --> 01:25:00.592
[SPEAKER_00]: I will let Scott have the floor for the debut of Kalani's Corner with Scruffy Salti, Scott Young.
01:25:01.293 --> 01:25:02.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, take it away.
01:25:05.557 --> 01:25:16.247
[SPEAKER_04]: There are certain moments in people's lives where they're given an opportunity to
01:25:17.020 --> 01:25:44.057
[SPEAKER_04]: to really let the world in, to give them a deeper look, to give them a better understanding of who you are, what your motivations are, and why.
01:25:45.050 --> 01:26:09.899
[SPEAKER_04]: And I came away fulfilled, I came away complete because now I am 100% sure in what I had thought before and that personality was when she's not wrestling, she brings absolutely nothing to the table, absolutely nothing to the table.
01:26:12.182 --> 01:26:14.044
[SPEAKER_04]: One of the worst promos I think I've ever heard.
01:26:15.222 --> 01:26:16.003
[SPEAKER_04]: from a world chain.
01:26:16.543 --> 01:26:19.125
[SPEAKER_04]: This was Jack Swagger Bad when he had to hat backwards.
01:26:21.327 --> 01:26:25.631
[SPEAKER_04]: This was Michael McGill a cutty bad on NXT.
01:26:26.952 --> 01:26:31.376
[SPEAKER_04]: This was one of the worst things I've ever heard.
01:26:33.878 --> 01:26:36.040
[SPEAKER_04]: She tried to compare herself to Dominic Mysterio.
01:26:36.601 --> 01:26:38.522
[SPEAKER_04]: She tried to compare herself to Cody Rhodes.
01:26:40.944 --> 01:26:45.128
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know who
01:26:45.597 --> 01:26:55.689
[SPEAKER_04]: or why, and then when she came out for her match, she decides to do her little powder toss and then rub her title with powder.
01:26:57.871 --> 01:27:01.155
[SPEAKER_04]: He he he he I'm just baffled at the thing she does.
01:27:01.175 --> 01:27:14.811
[SPEAKER_04]: I the the face she makes and we got a big Joseph over here talking about oh she she made the dark turn like first of all she's done this before okay it didn't work out.
01:27:15.533 --> 01:27:21.481
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to again, I just, I can't do it with Kalani.
01:27:21.882 --> 01:27:24.646
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, I, I can't do it.
01:27:25.487 --> 01:27:28.291
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she is one of the worst wrestlers in WWE.
01:27:29.092 --> 01:27:39.247
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, and I know she's not, but her personality and her talking is so bad to me, that I, I, I just, I can't do it with her.
01:27:39.727 --> 01:27:44.494
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't, I can't do it.
01:27:45.875 --> 01:27:47.277
[SPEAKER_00]: And what a corner it was.
01:27:47.297 --> 01:27:49.060
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched her segment.
01:27:50.181 --> 01:27:51.684
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, this is a big test.
01:27:52.324 --> 01:27:57.392
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your moment to go out there, present yourself as a heal, cut the promo of your life.
01:27:58.113 --> 01:27:59.074
[SPEAKER_00]: And she went out there.
01:27:59.135 --> 01:28:02.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was not good at all.
01:28:02.519 --> 01:28:07.647
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminded me of why I hated
01:28:08.352 --> 01:28:17.408
[SPEAKER_00]: hated, hated, Josh Briggs's promo a couple of months ago, just try hard stuff.
01:28:19.872 --> 01:28:23.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Kalani, she's a talented wrestler.
01:28:24.420 --> 01:28:29.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the world affirming terms of the potential she has as a wrestler.
01:28:30.210 --> 01:28:32.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Character needs a lot of work.
01:28:33.293 --> 01:28:35.977
[SPEAKER_00]: God have find out that voice.
01:28:37.058 --> 01:28:37.679
[SPEAKER_00]: What is it?
01:28:38.140 --> 01:28:38.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is it?
01:28:39.201 --> 01:28:40.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Who you're meant to be?
01:28:40.443 --> 01:28:51.118
[SPEAKER_00]: And time, it can come to you with practice, with repetition, because we've seen people come through the other side of this better.
01:28:51.158 --> 01:28:53.481
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that's the case for her.
01:28:54.102 --> 01:28:57.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Now what I will say is that which came out there,
01:28:59.450 --> 01:29:00.853
[SPEAKER_00]: She reminded me of somebody.
01:29:01.494 --> 01:29:01.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
01:29:02.496 --> 01:29:03.939
[SPEAKER_00]: She reminded me of somebody.
01:29:03.979 --> 01:29:13.437
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, if Cardi B had a sister, I literally stopped.
01:29:13.457 --> 01:29:13.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha.
01:29:13.658 --> 01:29:20.351
[SPEAKER_00]: If Cardi B had a long loss sister somewhere, it would be Kalani, at least in terms of features.
01:29:20.832 --> 01:29:21.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:29:22.248 --> 01:29:38.829
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Cardi B will clear her in a promo exchange, but in terms of, like, you know, look, I say, is that Cardi B out there, but she got Cardi B's personality, charisma swag, none of that, just zero charisma in terms of being a heal unfortunately.
01:29:39.470 --> 01:29:46.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's got a little bit more Maya enter than a. Yeah, yeah, but even Maya, now Maya's come on.
01:29:47.543 --> 01:30:06.661
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, my, my, my, my, my is top tier, my, yes, you know, it's, you know, cheddar biscuits, cheddar biscuits, cheddar biscuits, you, you just said, cheddar biscuits, we, we talk of recipes franchises, but she walks in, everybody got a lead no matter who's in there.
01:30:06.741 --> 01:30:08.404
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess the type of time she's on.
01:30:08.384 --> 01:30:09.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are you kidding me?
01:30:10.607 --> 01:30:14.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, look at you being a monster like shit down the way you brought recipes.
01:30:14.852 --> 01:30:15.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're okay.
01:30:15.653 --> 01:30:16.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I see you.
01:30:16.834 --> 01:30:19.437
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I love I'm back in the day, man.
01:30:19.457 --> 01:30:21.580
[SPEAKER_04]: You tell you, I ain't going to hold you.
01:30:21.620 --> 01:30:25.304
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I see a little bit more of my as far as the features go.
01:30:25.444 --> 01:30:29.409
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like a nice mix of my and cardi.
01:30:30.330 --> 01:30:31.351
[SPEAKER_00]: A nice mix of that.
01:30:31.371 --> 01:30:32.873
[SPEAKER_00]: I just noticed that tonight.
01:30:32.933 --> 01:30:37.699
[SPEAKER_04]: It was like okay off the beach.
01:30:38.219 --> 01:30:49.842
[SPEAKER_00]: if she was a nice gentler sister, of course she would be carty, but like in terms of like bite, sweat, charisma, skills and kind of promote like no, carty at her beat all day every day.
01:30:50.383 --> 01:30:50.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Period.
01:30:51.425 --> 01:30:52.026
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
01:30:53.508 --> 01:30:54.870
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that promo was a lot.
01:30:55.030 --> 01:30:56.872
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd was very unkind.
01:30:57.813 --> 01:30:58.714
[SPEAKER_00]: She made it through, though.
01:30:58.814 --> 01:31:01.037
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate the fact, she didn't get rattled.
01:31:01.057 --> 01:31:03.680
[SPEAKER_00]: She powered through, she survived.
01:31:04.060 --> 01:31:08.666
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is a sign that you can do more her if you just try a little bit harder.
01:31:09.507 --> 01:31:11.850
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando did good.
01:31:12.530 --> 01:31:13.592
[SPEAKER_00]: She did a good job.
01:31:13.632 --> 01:31:15.134
[SPEAKER_00]: She's just really bad.
01:31:15.174 --> 01:31:18.578
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:31:18.598 --> 01:31:23.143
[SPEAKER_00]: That Fernando, we're going to freeze this comment.
01:31:23.444 --> 01:31:25.066
[SPEAKER_00]: from a year for now, okay?
01:31:26.147 --> 01:31:31.374
[SPEAKER_00]: You said that she can be the female Dominic Mysterio in time.
01:31:31.394 --> 01:31:35.379
[SPEAKER_00]: If she's now listen, we do have the wrap awards coming up.
01:31:35.900 --> 01:31:41.347
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do have several contenders for our Vaughn Wagner award, okay?
01:31:41.627 --> 01:31:43.209
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is a two-way award.
01:31:43.510 --> 01:31:48.456
[SPEAKER_00]: You can win it for improving, or you can win it for when you are right now and hoping for the best.
01:31:48.655 --> 01:31:56.601
[SPEAKER_00]: But if she can pull that off for Nando, if she can get to very dumb levels of good, okay?
01:31:58.849 --> 01:32:00.454
[SPEAKER_04]: She got to do hard time first.
01:32:01.362 --> 01:32:02.263
[SPEAKER_00]: She had to get locked up.
01:32:02.563 --> 01:32:03.284
[SPEAKER_04]: She had to get arrested.
01:32:03.364 --> 01:32:05.266
[SPEAKER_04]: That's your first time to get locked up.
01:32:06.106 --> 01:32:07.908
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you can kill somebody.
01:32:07.928 --> 01:32:10.390
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's she's got to do the murder of somebody.
01:32:11.071 --> 01:32:12.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so get away with it.
01:32:12.392 --> 01:32:19.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, if you throw a body somewhere at like a river in Orlando, like that'll get you created immediately, you know.
01:32:19.678 --> 01:32:20.759
[SPEAKER_00]: But I get you in the family.
01:32:20.880 --> 01:32:21.180
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
01:32:21.260 --> 01:32:22.141
[SPEAKER_00]: I get a title shot.
01:32:22.801 --> 01:32:31.369
[SPEAKER_00]: You might very well if she could find what's left of the heritage cup, she might, you know.
01:32:31.349 --> 01:32:33.212
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just going to work on it.
01:32:33.232 --> 01:32:34.474
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to work on it.
01:32:34.494 --> 01:32:37.258
[SPEAKER_00]: And David, what happens to Ivy now?
01:32:37.418 --> 01:32:38.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Shads hurt.
01:32:39.481 --> 01:32:40.563
[SPEAKER_00]: She's off television.
01:32:40.683 --> 01:32:41.845
[SPEAKER_00]: So is the creed brothers.
01:32:42.126 --> 01:32:44.169
[SPEAKER_00]: They just rest in right now on main event.
01:32:44.730 --> 01:32:45.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Just chilling.
01:32:45.991 --> 01:32:46.953
[SPEAKER_04]: She got her hair done.
01:32:47.013 --> 01:32:48.295
[SPEAKER_04]: It takes some time off.
01:32:48.460 --> 01:32:54.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine that girl had a whole new fresh do and she can bring it to television?
01:32:54.994 --> 01:33:05.777
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just a bullshit bullshit went to the salon and got a whole blowout and you can't even show it on television ridiculous damn shame.
01:33:06.567 --> 01:33:24.695
[SPEAKER_00]: damn shame that is, but another one of my favorite segments of the night was our favorite aesthetically beautiful couple who is not a couple, all ego-eathened page and Chelsea Greene having the championship celebration interrupted by Joe Hendry.
01:33:25.275 --> 01:33:35.511
[SPEAKER_00]: And he introduces his new mixed acting partner, Thea Hale, who comes out of a cake and she pie faces all ego and Chelsea.
01:33:35.761 --> 01:33:43.517
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that people saw FIA Hill wants any violence, oh, hell, no, like just no, we're not demoting her to evolve.
01:33:43.817 --> 01:33:45.921
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not in the key to Lions for God's sakes.
01:33:46.282 --> 01:33:53.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So walk a HBK did a 180, he pulled an executive action and said, no, let's get the aback of the next team.
01:33:53.176 --> 01:33:58.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank God, because actually her and Joendry are gold together.
01:33:58.225 --> 01:33:59.487
[SPEAKER_00]: They start gold here.
01:33:59.547 --> 01:34:08.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know what it is within XT, but they have found a way to make odd couples just click in the best possible way.
01:34:09.985 --> 01:34:10.867
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this worked really well.
01:34:10.907 --> 01:34:15.355
[SPEAKER_04]: Fun segment Ethan and Chelsea work really well.
01:34:15.876 --> 01:34:16.737
[SPEAKER_04]: And then
01:34:17.172 --> 01:34:19.515
[SPEAKER_04]: Joe, I didn't know who he was coming out with.
01:34:19.555 --> 01:34:24.963
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought I would just be another wrestler, but her being the one in the cake, that was nice touch.
01:34:25.043 --> 01:34:26.765
[SPEAKER_04]: I did all worked really well.
01:34:26.865 --> 01:34:27.987
[SPEAKER_04]: She fits really well.
01:34:28.067 --> 01:34:36.018
[SPEAKER_04]: She's got the same type of excited energy and the faces when they turn into the big smile and stuff.
01:34:36.038 --> 01:34:42.927
[SPEAKER_04]: Like they're both spot-on, like it's, and now, so from now on, we gotta worry about two people popping out.
01:34:43.548 --> 01:34:46.352
[SPEAKER_03]: So now you don't know who's popping out where?
01:34:46.484 --> 01:34:47.546
[SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
01:34:47.566 --> 01:34:49.190
[SPEAKER_03]: So now we get to stay her name.
01:34:49.550 --> 01:34:50.753
[SPEAKER_03]: She has a theme song.
01:34:50.933 --> 01:34:51.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
01:34:51.975 --> 01:34:55.443
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe in the, are you kidding me?
01:34:55.463 --> 01:34:56.505
[SPEAKER_01]: It's perfect.
01:34:56.545 --> 01:34:57.006
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it is.
01:34:57.066 --> 01:34:57.667
[SPEAKER_01]: It's perfect.
01:34:57.908 --> 01:34:59.170
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything about it's great.
01:34:59.250 --> 01:35:00.493
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've.
01:35:00.980 --> 01:35:09.978
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think the tripalach, the tripalach, as Chelsea called him, I think those fans were probably like joining them pretty easily too.
01:35:10.559 --> 01:35:11.340
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's great.
01:35:11.441 --> 01:35:11.841
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
01:35:11.861 --> 01:35:13.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Chelsea's great, man.
01:35:13.324 --> 01:35:14.727
[SPEAKER_00]: All he goes, he's great too.
01:35:14.747 --> 01:35:19.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, let's just admire the pretty that is them together.
01:35:19.597 --> 01:35:22.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, just just,
01:35:22.546 --> 01:35:29.338
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it was just whatever Walker HPK did like he just ordained a great on-screen pairing.
01:35:29.738 --> 01:35:33.385
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I just think he dumbied his way into Thea and Joe.
01:35:34.146 --> 01:35:39.255
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that one segment backstage when she just randomly was walking backstage, there's like I see something.
01:35:39.235 --> 01:35:43.320
[SPEAKER_00]: and sure enough, like there's something there, there is like this cute pairing.
01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:49.908
[SPEAKER_00]: And what's cool is that you can package these people up and move them to the main roster to fill some space for God.
01:35:49.928 --> 01:35:52.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Six, those Lord knows, SmackDown needs to help.
01:35:54.473 --> 01:36:01.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And speaking of help, the opening match of NXT, really good opener, liked it a lot.
01:36:02.388 --> 01:36:16.049
[SPEAKER_00]: Chasey Jane, that's finished, they're rolling on core, is becoming one of my favorite finishers in WWE, because of its impact, it's sudden impact, and how you get this knocks somebody out, just like that in the match, really good stuff.
01:36:16.389 --> 01:36:20.896
[SPEAKER_00]: And we also held, we need them and everybody that was in that match on SmackDown too.
01:36:21.157 --> 01:36:22.940
[SPEAKER_00]: This is ridiculous.
01:36:22.960 --> 01:36:26.505
[SPEAKER_00]: The depth is there to help SmackDown if you move people up.
01:36:28.358 --> 01:36:31.722
[SPEAKER_04]: I, well, I don't, I don't think that work as well.
01:36:31.742 --> 01:36:39.911
[SPEAKER_04]: If you move them all up, uh, I don't, like, I think Lola, I think Lola would do really well on SmackDown, fatal influence.
01:36:40.512 --> 01:36:42.974
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not as sold on them as a unit.
01:36:43.014 --> 01:36:44.897
[SPEAKER_04]: They're coming up under somebody.
01:36:45.397 --> 01:36:49.682
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a different, but then as a unit by themselves, I'm not sold.
01:36:49.982 --> 01:36:54.147
[SPEAKER_04]: Lola, I think I think Lola's going to be, I think she's the one.
01:36:54.802 --> 01:36:58.689
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's the one that we're going to look back on to be like, yeah, she's got it.
01:36:59.470 --> 01:37:05.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Lola's moving up for Damian because you need somebody to help him with Zalina in Alex.
01:37:05.080 --> 01:37:05.661
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
01:37:05.681 --> 01:37:06.001
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
01:37:06.222 --> 01:37:07.023
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
01:37:07.344 --> 01:37:16.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe that for fatal influence, your idea of Nikki Bella fronting them is a great idea.
01:37:17.397 --> 01:37:19.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I am buying it on J.C.
01:37:20.824 --> 01:37:22.968
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm buying it on the stock a bit more.
01:37:23.830 --> 01:37:25.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I like fouling a lot too.
01:37:25.974 --> 01:37:27.697
[SPEAKER_00]: They're the chick-a-d. Eh!
01:37:28.258 --> 01:37:29.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Knees some more time.
01:37:29.501 --> 01:37:29.981
[SPEAKER_00]: Chick-a-d?
01:37:30.382 --> 01:37:32.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're the chick-a-d. Laney.
01:37:33.689 --> 01:37:34.530
[SPEAKER_00]: I need more time.
01:37:34.871 --> 01:37:35.713
[SPEAKER_00]: I need more time.
01:37:35.733 --> 01:37:37.195
[SPEAKER_00]: I need more time.
01:37:37.236 --> 01:37:39.540
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't do gray, but she's okay.
01:37:39.520 --> 01:37:46.791
[SPEAKER_00]: She, she, I, I, I'm buying in on J.C. stock to be somebody on the main roster.
01:37:47.673 --> 01:37:49.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Fallen, I like her a lot too.
01:37:49.836 --> 01:37:52.520
[SPEAKER_00]: If you get Nikki in that group, it's elevated.
01:37:52.760 --> 01:37:53.942
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like your idea.
01:37:53.962 --> 01:37:55.825
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I truly do.
01:37:56.446 --> 01:38:15.147
[SPEAKER_04]: You could drop the other girl like, and again, just bring up Jc and foul, and I think that you could just have them as a trio if you want, but yeah, there's no point in Nick like I don't think you need Nicky wrestling every week and she needs and they need them to can do all that so, but I don't know if they'll do that and if they do, you need to move Nicky to
01:38:15.380 --> 01:38:18.263
[SPEAKER_04]: Max, I agree with you, smack down these to help more than raw those.
01:38:18.543 --> 01:38:21.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they do absolutely infinite of his would you ever make it?
01:38:21.366 --> 01:38:22.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she will.
01:38:22.648 --> 01:38:24.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she's a bit cheaper.
01:38:24.470 --> 01:38:25.050
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll be on there.
01:38:25.070 --> 01:38:28.414
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she is in an next year's life for for the last four years.
01:38:29.375 --> 01:38:30.156
[SPEAKER_00]: It's time.
01:38:30.416 --> 01:38:31.197
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's time.
01:38:31.477 --> 01:38:36.122
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think that she needed this run as champion to really test the waters to see what she can do.
01:38:36.142 --> 01:38:38.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought she passed the test.
01:38:38.785 --> 01:38:40.547
[SPEAKER_00]: She did what she was supposed to do.
01:38:40.967 --> 01:38:42.689
[SPEAKER_00]: She had really good championship matches.
01:38:43.149 --> 01:38:44.330
[SPEAKER_00]: She elevated her stock.
01:38:44.630 --> 01:38:46.232
[SPEAKER_00]: She is very good in the ring.
01:38:46.572 --> 01:38:47.633
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I care about.
01:38:47.713 --> 01:38:49.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Personality sticks out to in a good way.
01:38:50.716 --> 01:38:52.517
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the trick run as a heel.
01:38:53.118 --> 01:38:56.481
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great test to see what you can do on the main roster.
01:38:56.881 --> 01:38:58.022
[SPEAKER_00]: He's passed the test.
01:38:58.603 --> 01:39:00.525
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll move up whenever the time comes.
01:39:01.325 --> 01:39:08.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfectly on SmackDown because as we said, they need all the help they can get right now.
01:39:08.772 --> 01:39:11.115
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's it.
01:39:11.136 --> 01:39:11.676
[SPEAKER_00]: All righty.
01:39:13.038 --> 01:39:19.448
[SPEAKER_00]: And with that, it is now time for us to reveal our match of the week across a lot of shows.
01:39:19.929 --> 01:39:25.417
[SPEAKER_00]: You can be watching Monday night raw, smack down, main event if you're geoblocked.
01:39:25.797 --> 01:39:28.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're tuning in to evolve and see what's going on there.
01:39:29.583 --> 01:39:38.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, I know that you take this also seriously and you won't pick any of these matches
01:39:39.333 --> 01:39:41.616
[SPEAKER_04]: No, this week, I think I will.
01:39:41.736 --> 01:39:47.944
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna go with the Nathan Frazier, either the Dragon Off match, really enjoyed that.
01:39:48.705 --> 01:39:58.057
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the, the worst show WWE puts out every week continues to have one of the highlights of all the wrestling shows.
01:39:58.077 --> 01:40:06.608
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm gonna give him, I'm gonna give him their flowers this week and I'm gonna let Tony Khan rest because he's having a hard time sweating with the new rating system.
01:40:06.628 --> 01:40:07.990
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm gonna let him go this week.
01:40:08.273 --> 01:40:23.903
[SPEAKER_00]: looking at you being a merciful man, showing grace in this time and being honest in your match of the week, which I agree with as well, I'll lead Dragon Oversus, Nathan Fraser for the United States Championship, shout out to both guys, putting on a show.
01:40:23.883 --> 01:40:34.256
[SPEAKER_00]: In China, wake up a sleepy Salt Lake City crowd on Halloween shout out to you guys and with that that is a wrap for this week's episode of the wrap right here on the fake media network YouTube channel.
01:40:34.296 --> 01:40:36.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining us as we talk all things.
01:40:36.960 --> 01:40:40.424
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE as a road to survive with series work games continues.
01:40:40.804 --> 01:40:45.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to thank my cocapped and sought you Scott young for joining me to discuss all things.
01:40:46.131 --> 01:40:53.080
[SPEAKER_04]: WWE.
01:40:53.684 --> 01:40:57.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Look forward to the week that we got coming up with WWE next week.
01:40:57.711 --> 01:40:59.535
[SPEAKER_04]: We got the, you know, a couple of weeks.
01:40:59.555 --> 01:41:00.536
[SPEAKER_04]: We got the goal rush.
01:41:00.917 --> 01:41:03.943
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a big week next week with trick and that last man standing.
01:41:05.285 --> 01:41:06.187
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm putting my money on trick.
01:41:06.207 --> 01:41:08.270
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, tricks when it's back.
01:41:08.791 --> 01:41:09.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
01:41:09.653 --> 01:41:11.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I have him not winning.
01:41:11.096 --> 01:41:16.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't finally being promoted to the main roster because Laura knows SmackDown.
01:41:16.325 --> 01:41:17.447
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still.
01:41:17.984 --> 01:41:24.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I need trick versus dragon off as well, run it back again on the main roster and then open challenge.
01:41:24.959 --> 01:41:26.983
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just trying to manifest good things as well.
01:41:27.464 --> 01:41:36.043
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we are approaching our final two John scene appearances on Monday night raw.
01:41:36.023 --> 01:41:58.217
[SPEAKER_00]: the garden and the garden back to back to the garden and Boston this Monday, Madison Square Garden the next week and in YC and we have the last time is now tournament starting next week to find out who were on the right to face John Cena and his last match on Saturday night's main event on Saturday, December 13th, from our nation's capital.
01:41:58.197 --> 01:42:08.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Washington, D.C. First round matchups are going down this Monday on Monday, Night Raw and matches include Roosev versus Damian Priest and a sleeper match.
01:42:09.273 --> 01:42:12.738
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe shame is versus Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:42:14.741 --> 01:42:16.003
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, both of those should be good.
01:42:16.043 --> 01:42:18.166
[SPEAKER_04]: Termants enter us thing.
01:42:18.546 --> 01:42:19.247
[SPEAKER_04]: I got thoughts on that.
01:42:19.267 --> 01:42:20.429
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk about it next week, though.
01:42:20.910 --> 01:42:21.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
01:42:21.731 --> 01:42:23.474
[SPEAKER_00]: And then one more question for the road.
01:42:23.814 --> 01:42:27.259
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando says should trick and
01:42:28.977 --> 01:42:29.658
[SPEAKER_04]: Not right now.
01:42:29.898 --> 01:42:37.407
[SPEAKER_04]: No, yeah, but I think it definitely happened in a future actually actually I can see trick coming back to save me, although after Miz beats him up a couple more times.
01:42:38.088 --> 01:42:40.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, possibly maybe definitely.
01:42:40.150 --> 01:42:41.332
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see where it goes.
01:42:41.872 --> 01:42:44.636
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at you showing restraint on the Miz this week.
01:42:44.896 --> 01:42:45.657
[UNKNOWN]: Thankfully.
01:42:46.478 --> 01:42:47.179
[UNKNOWN]: Thankfully.
01:42:48.300 --> 01:42:49.341
[SPEAKER_04]: I just had to mention them though.
01:42:50.102 --> 01:42:54.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, at least you didn't go on and on and on about as great as so.
01:42:56.315 --> 01:43:00.750
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, everybody already knows the two-time grand slam champion and stuff like that, so I don't know.
01:43:00.770 --> 01:43:01.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's touch your mic off.
01:43:01.874 --> 01:43:05.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just plug the mic right now before you hear it.
01:43:05.933 --> 01:43:10.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Before you continue, because this will get egregious pretty fast.
01:43:11.542 --> 01:43:13.866
[SPEAKER_00]: So, perfect time to end the show.
01:43:14.286 --> 01:43:15.589
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you as always for joining us.
01:43:16.069 --> 01:43:22.920
[SPEAKER_00]: In the chat for Nando, thank you David as well with your breaking news details that varied for sure throughout this episode.

[SPEAKER_00]: Tuesday around 11 o'clock PM Eastern and talk about the week so far in WWE week having SmackDown Monday night.

[SPEAKER_00]: Raw NXT as we got some big shows ahead of us as a road to Survivor Series continues.
01:43:43.145 --> 01:43:49.131
[SPEAKER_00]: So for myself and for so long, that is a wrap on all things WWE until next Tuesday.
01:43:49.172 --> 01:43:52.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Take care and bye bye.
00:10.207 --> 00:18.195
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, everyone, and welcome to another live edition of the rap right here on the Fiky Media Network on YouTube.
00:18.676 --> 00:23.240
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Keela Cash, and we're here today to talk about all things WWE.
00:23.721 --> 00:35.573
[SPEAKER_00]: As a road to Survivor Series war games continues, we are about four weeks away from the last major PLA of the year, and we got a lot to discuss, and by my side as always,
00:35.553 --> 00:37.775
[SPEAKER_00]: is my co-capped in my right hand.
00:37.795 --> 00:42.100
[SPEAKER_00]: These sometimes advocate for the rapidly and pooped with Ms. Jada Parker from NXT.
00:42.540 --> 00:47.625
[SPEAKER_00]: I bring to you back on the rap as always, no longer baby face.
00:48.326 --> 00:54.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott Young, no longer that baby face that we look at and admire and appreciate.
00:54.893 --> 00:56.754
[SPEAKER_00]: It's now scruffy heel.
00:56.814 --> 01:00.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott Young, back being salty as ever.
01:00.819 --> 01:02.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, scruffy.
01:04.308 --> 01:07.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Scruffy, scruffy shag, he's crazy.
01:07.933 --> 01:11.056
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm more of a tweener right now.
01:11.938 --> 01:18.366
[SPEAKER_04]: But as always, it's a pleasure to chop it up Kila and talk off things WWE.
01:18.686 --> 01:20.889
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm excited about the conversation we're going to have.
01:21.630 --> 01:25.575
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, you know, I could tell you this.
01:26.135 --> 01:28.158
[SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of what I do with my facial hair.
01:28.859 --> 01:30.080
[SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of what I do.
01:30.601 --> 01:33.825
[SPEAKER_04]: It will be better than what Kalani Jordan decided to do on NXT today.
01:35.594 --> 01:38.019
[SPEAKER_00]: that is a teaser for things to come.
01:38.079 --> 01:52.067
[SPEAKER_00]: I popped Scott earlier off the air as I was introducing a new segment on the show in honor of Kalani and what she's been doing as a newly established heal
01:52.047 --> 01:56.975
[SPEAKER_00]: on NXT television as the TNA knockout women's champion.
01:57.376 --> 02:13.684
[SPEAKER_00]: I have now deemed a weekly segment where Scott will sit on his soapbox and just basically talk about the pros and mainly cons of Kalani trying to be a heal in a segment entitled Kalani's corner.
02:13.664 --> 02:14.685
[SPEAKER_00]: with Scott Young.
02:14.765 --> 02:24.337
[SPEAKER_00]: He will offer his analysis, his takes, his thoughts on Kalani Jordan on a weekly basis letting you know why this is it working.
02:24.678 --> 02:34.109
[SPEAKER_00]: And I for at least the first week will co-sign on everything he has to say because my God that segment was a hot mess.
02:34.490 --> 02:41.038
[SPEAKER_00]: That crowd was relentless and her promo was relentless towards me because it was not very good.
02:43.702 --> 02:44.624
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
02:47.029 --> 02:47.349
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
02:47.670 --> 02:50.696
[SPEAKER_04]: I like going on with that and none of it was good.
02:50.776 --> 02:53.000
[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll talk about it.
02:53.141 --> 02:53.842
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about it.
02:54.443 --> 02:57.649
[SPEAKER_00]: We shot talk about it later on during this episode.
02:57.669 --> 02:58.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to Fernando.
02:59.032 --> 03:01.577
[SPEAKER_00]: One of our day ones here in the live chat.
03:01.898 --> 03:03.060
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're watching,
03:03.040 --> 03:04.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Please join into the conversation.
03:04.822 --> 03:22.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Last talk about today, once you're thoughts on several topics as well, but before we get into all things, WWE, we got to talk about stats, trails, and trials and adventures to a certain place, certain cross that he goes to on a weekly basis.
03:22.922 --> 03:27.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Unbeknownst to me last week, he was already into season two.
03:28.589 --> 03:36.161
[SPEAKER_00]: as he moves along to get caught up to the current season dropping some time next year on the CW.
03:36.782 --> 03:52.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, tell me what has been happening lately on Sullivan's crossing on Netflix.
03:53.429 --> 04:01.660
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I almost did, but I heard you asked the question, did I freeze a dope, I'm frozen just when you asked, but I'm back.
04:02.301 --> 04:12.214
[SPEAKER_04]: So listen, I crossed over the Solis, went back over to the campground and found out his daughter Maggie's pregnant.
04:12.920 --> 04:16.083
[SPEAKER_04]: She let her and her ex came down for a night.
04:16.123 --> 04:17.765
[SPEAKER_04]: They made s'mores now.
04:17.805 --> 04:22.610
[SPEAKER_04]: She's having a baby and Chad Michael Murray.
04:22.730 --> 04:23.531
[SPEAKER_04]: They went on a date.
04:23.971 --> 04:25.152
[SPEAKER_04]: He said he don't want kids.
04:25.633 --> 04:26.514
[SPEAKER_04]: She said, dooses.
04:27.595 --> 04:28.696
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where we at right now.
04:28.736 --> 04:30.738
[SPEAKER_04]: So now we're going to see who's going to give in first.
04:32.600 --> 04:40.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot believe that you equated s'mores to the birds and the bees.
04:42.130 --> 04:43.513
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we really think about it.
04:43.693 --> 04:45.777
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the melting of two things.
04:46.698 --> 04:48.181
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of heat involved.
04:48.241 --> 04:49.884
[SPEAKER_00]: And then boom, there's a baby some more.
04:49.924 --> 04:53.150
[SPEAKER_00]: So I absolutely get the analogy I do.
04:54.172 --> 04:57.038
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of elements involve a lot of sweets.
04:57.138 --> 04:58.380
[SPEAKER_04]: And you put it all together.
04:58.420 --> 05:00.544
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to get the package.
05:01.925 --> 05:11.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so want to make a collaboration joke, but I won't, but I won't, I will not make that joke even though I just did.
05:11.348 --> 05:14.075
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a collaboration of things happening.
05:14.536 --> 05:19.849
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a baby's more was made on Sullivan's crossing.
05:19.829 --> 05:21.171
[SPEAKER_00]: what a great recap.
05:21.773 --> 05:24.297
[SPEAKER_00]: This season is already off to a very hot start.
05:24.738 --> 05:27.924
[SPEAKER_00]: How many puns can I make to really make this melt away?
05:28.324 --> 05:30.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we shall see in this segment for sure.
05:31.270 --> 05:34.455
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was our cell of his crossing recap for the week.
05:34.476 --> 05:36.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much, Scruffy.
05:36.078 --> 05:39.745
[SPEAKER_00]: As we now get to our next top,
05:40.163 --> 05:43.486
[SPEAKER_00]: which is the NBA.
05:43.946 --> 05:53.935
[SPEAKER_00]: We talk about the standings every week for the next eight months to see what's going to change and into the NBA postseason, which is ways away.
05:54.456 --> 05:57.138
[SPEAKER_00]: What we always like to like armchair quarterback here.
05:57.238 --> 06:02.563
[SPEAKER_00]: See how the stand is look because it does change legitimately week to week.
06:02.923 --> 06:08.288
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have to shout out Scott Lakers through injuries through adversity.
06:08.669 --> 06:10.170
[SPEAKER_00]: They're actually
06:10.150 --> 06:13.015
[SPEAKER_00]: winning when it counts most.
06:15.580 --> 06:16.522
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the price.
06:17.003 --> 06:17.725
[SPEAKER_04]: This is what we do.
06:20.049 --> 06:29.146
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we essentially have the beetles out there with Austin Reeves, Luca and Laravia running the show.
06:29.828 --> 06:31.551
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know,
06:32.257 --> 06:54.219
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where we're right right now, but shout out to shout out to the back of the back of the answers, you know, the Andre or the Andre, and what's called the Andre Warden, the Andre eight and Mark Smart, Eva Rue, all had, you know, all had the 20s next mid junior to a contract guy decided to have 26 points.
06:55.040 --> 06:57.522
[SPEAKER_04]: Shout out to them, briny James catching hoops.
06:58.447 --> 07:02.233
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I feel real good about what the King's walking back into.
07:02.874 --> 07:09.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, once he gets past his eye out of color, he should be walking into a very decent situation in the next month or so.
07:10.345 --> 07:14.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, there was a nickname for the big three.
07:15.692 --> 07:19.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I was, um, I don't know how to take it.
07:19.518 --> 07:21.501
[SPEAKER_00]: It was funny to me in the moment.
07:21.970 --> 07:24.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna get Scott's take on it right now.
07:25.013 --> 07:29.899
[SPEAKER_00]: So Scott, you remember back in the 80s, we had these show time-lakers, right?
07:30.520 --> 07:49.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Prime magic, just prime time in the form, winning championships for Jerry, then we had, you know, at the time, another Laker great off there, coaching him up, Pat Riley, beautiful times, right, beautiful times.
07:49.257 --> 08:08.846
[SPEAKER_00]: And now there's a new nickname bestowed upon the big three you mentioned heard the word we got the snow timelakers now the snow timelakers so The lower five like your though I guess that's fine.
08:10.248 --> 08:15.957
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean you got you got look at a done lemon daddy.
08:16.223 --> 08:17.248
[SPEAKER_04]: and who's the radio.
08:17.429 --> 08:21.289
[SPEAKER_03]: So I guess there's no time like as it works.
08:22.062 --> 08:28.930
[SPEAKER_00]: LaRevia is like a bad ass named, they'll just say LaRevia, just just menacing, do like the name.
08:29.571 --> 08:32.774
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're winning, the LaRevia is a good domain.
08:33.455 --> 08:35.738
[SPEAKER_00]: It is actually like, it just sounds cool.
08:36.218 --> 08:37.300
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're winning games.
08:37.520 --> 08:39.843
[SPEAKER_00]: And the standings are right now.
08:39.983 --> 08:44.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And the thunder who we're watching on Peacock, there are seven and a no right now for now.
08:44.568 --> 08:48.212
[SPEAKER_00]: They are undefeated, the only undefeated team in the NBA at this point.
08:48.773 --> 08:49.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two.
08:49.754 --> 08:51.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Spurs 5 and 1.
08:51.537 --> 08:54.141
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lakers, number 3, 6 and 2.
08:54.181 --> 08:57.227
[SPEAKER_00]: The Nuggets 4 and 2, the Rockets 4 and 2.
08:57.687 --> 08:59.891
[SPEAKER_00]: The Timberwolves coming in at number 6, 4 and 3.
08:59.991 --> 09:01.313
[SPEAKER_00]: The Trailblazers 4 and 3.
09:01.794 --> 09:03.016
[SPEAKER_00]: My Warriors 4 and 3.
09:03.117 --> 09:06.683
[SPEAKER_00]: The Clippers are playing OKC right now, 3 and 3.
09:07.284 --> 09:12.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, who got a win, the Pelicans who are now 1 and 6 in the West.
09:14.763 --> 09:37.581
[SPEAKER_00]: and Scott had to go away for a moment, as we transitioned briefly to the NBA Easton Conference, the bulls lost her first game recently, but this the top of the division six and one followed by the 76ers five and two alongside the pistons who are surging at five and two, followed by the bucks who are number four at five and three.
09:37.561 --> 09:41.826
[SPEAKER_00]: as I bring Scott back to the show after he had a dip out for a second.
09:42.266 --> 09:48.713
[SPEAKER_00]: As I go through the Eastern Conference standings, then we got the nicks in at four and three along with the heat four and three.
09:49.194 --> 10:02.609
[SPEAKER_00]: The Cavaliers, four and three, the Raptors in the Hawks, four and four, and the poor sat Brooklyn nets, bringing up the rear, the only team in the NBA not to get a W yet.
10:04.150 --> 10:04.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh and seven.
10:09.404 --> 10:11.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Scratch your thoughts on the standings.
10:13.349 --> 10:19.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And Scott still might be frozen potentially right now if he can hear me and he cannot.
10:22.181 --> 10:26.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back.
10:26.987 --> 10:32.294
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'm here, I don't know if y'all could hear me or not, but I'm here.
10:33.295 --> 10:34.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you hear us?
10:34.677 --> 10:35.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you hear me?
10:38.260 --> 10:39.201
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I can hear you.
10:39.221 --> 10:40.483
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't think you hear me.
10:41.223 --> 10:42.805
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's leaving again.
10:42.845 --> 10:56.962
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando, we will talk about your question because it's a very serious question, a very serious allegation that Devon from the Dully Boys recently dropped via an interview with Maven a few weeks ago.
10:56.982 --> 11:01.247
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about that in just a moment and I do have thoughts on that as well.
11:01.227 --> 11:16.632
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the meantime, I just once got to come back in, get through the technical difficulties, so we can get this show on the road, but I do like your thoughts for Nando about OKC repeating once again as NBA champions very strong possibility there.
11:16.652 --> 11:20.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the East and the West.
11:20.077 --> 11:49.577
[SPEAKER_00]: competitive, definitely open season in the east due to a lot of injuries, and we'll see who comes out on top when the finals come around and June, which is a ways away, but it can come at you very quickly, because the season flies by very fast, especially when you get through the arse, especially when you get through the all-star break, so awaiting Scott's return, and we will take
11:57.657 --> 12:00.020
[SPEAKER_00]: I took an intermission, it's Scott here.
12:00.060 --> 12:02.823
[SPEAKER_00]: It's he live and live in color.
12:03.344 --> 12:03.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:04.265 --> 12:04.865
[SPEAKER_00]: He's back.
12:05.386 --> 12:05.987
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:06.007 --> 12:06.467
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here.
12:06.968 --> 12:07.388
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm back.
12:07.949 --> 12:09.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here for real.
12:09.531 --> 12:10.272
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
12:10.292 --> 12:13.655
[SPEAKER_04]: I've been just like MPJ after we left, Nugget.
12:16.819 --> 12:24.508
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm pretty much doing the same thing he's doing this far as when it comes to sports, so podcasting.
12:25.028 --> 12:31.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, look at you, the timeliness of what you've just done, but Fernando poses a very serious question.
12:32.421 --> 12:39.112
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants our thoughts on debons allegations of racism on Jim Ross recently.
12:39.172 --> 12:50.732
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't interview with Maven and he talked about a higher-up person in WWE personnel many years ago,
12:50.813 --> 12:53.057
[SPEAKER_00]: You're you're not getting a push.
12:53.097 --> 12:59.307
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not good enough because you're black and everybody wondered who could this possibly be?
12:59.347 --> 13:05.517
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of people bandied about and then there was some illusions to who this could be cowboy hat.
13:05.697 --> 13:09.483
[SPEAKER_00]: So the next sent love the sooner's process elimination.
13:09.844 --> 13:12.408
[SPEAKER_00]: The answer was Jim Ross, Devon confirmed it.
13:12.809 --> 13:16.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, your thoughts on what Devon said via the interview a few weeks ago.
13:19.957 --> 13:31.953
[SPEAKER_04]: cup of thoughts, you know, initial first knee-jerk reaction is, was he just telling him what he was told?
13:32.654 --> 13:49.035
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, he's just telling him, you know, we're not going to push this guy because of, because of what he, because of the color of the skin or it's that he was just telling him what he knew that he
13:50.467 --> 13:57.101
[SPEAKER_04]: Jim Ross just isn't the, maybe isn't the, the nicest guy we thought he was.
13:58.164 --> 14:01.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, so it's, it's, it's one of the two.
14:02.172 --> 14:04.538
[SPEAKER_04]: There's, there's no in between.
14:04.939 --> 14:05.640
[SPEAKER_04]: Um,
14:06.025 --> 14:09.490
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't just be racist to one person.
14:09.851 --> 14:13.416
[SPEAKER_04]: If you see it on one, then that's how you view all black people.
14:13.576 --> 14:14.878
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how you view all people.
14:15.559 --> 14:21.789
[SPEAKER_04]: You may like certain people better, but you're overall thoughts on the overall race is going to still be that.
14:21.909 --> 14:25.094
[SPEAKER_04]: So for me, it's real simple.
14:25.114 --> 14:26.896
[SPEAKER_04]: It falls on the one of the two categories.
14:26.956 --> 14:32.725
[SPEAKER_04]: He was either relaying a message that he had heard at the table,
14:33.278 --> 14:43.373
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, the racism going on is like, yo, I'm just letting you know now you're not going to get the push because you're black or Jim Ross is in the same bunch and his one of those guys.
14:44.838 --> 14:49.403
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a great assessment is one of the other and Jim Ross at this time.
14:50.044 --> 15:11.908
[SPEAKER_00]: As we're doing this episode, as not spoken publicly about with Devon, I said, I've a love to hear as perspective on what happened all those years ago because we know that in WWE, especially in the creative room in certain spaces, people did have that ideology that black men, you weren't worthy of being championed,
15:11.888 --> 15:17.678
[SPEAKER_00]: play out in WWE on television in storyline.
15:17.718 --> 15:20.764
[SPEAKER_00]: So this isn't some outside the box idea.
15:20.804 --> 15:24.250
[SPEAKER_00]: This was something brought to television using very slick words.
15:24.290 --> 15:31.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go back with Triple H in that period with Booker T back at WrestleMania in 19, basically saying that, hmm,
15:31.042 --> 15:34.925
[SPEAKER_00]: your kind doesn't get to be WWE world heavyweight champion.
15:35.286 --> 15:36.767
[SPEAKER_00]: That was on television.
15:36.807 --> 15:39.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Those were the illusion said on TV.
15:40.270 --> 15:43.293
[SPEAKER_00]: We've had people in power in WWE.
15:43.673 --> 15:45.975
[SPEAKER_00]: Be very racist towards black talent.
15:45.995 --> 15:53.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Henry can to attest to that and very deep and very graphic detail over the years.
15:53.481 --> 15:54.562
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's one of two things.
15:54.622 --> 16:01.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether JR was relaying a message from people in that company to
16:01.028 --> 16:08.724
[SPEAKER_00]: brutally honest at the time about how some people felt about pushing black talent in WWE or he had those sentiments.
16:09.165 --> 16:13.974
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one or the other and I would really like to hear his perspective.
16:14.014 --> 16:15.718
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's going through a lot of health issues.
16:16.139 --> 16:18.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it, but we got one side of the story.
16:18.864 --> 16:22.632
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to hear what JR really has to say because good old JR.
16:22.612 --> 16:35.385
[SPEAKER_00]: don't want to keep saying good old when there's nothing good there, we shall see about it, but there is a history of racism in WWE based on how they characterize black characters over the years.
16:35.785 --> 16:37.047
[SPEAKER_00]: That is not a lie.
16:37.387 --> 16:38.468
[SPEAKER_00]: That is not a fair.
16:38.508 --> 16:40.771
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a fact that we have seen.
16:40.791 --> 16:43.013
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can pull up the clips.
16:43.593 --> 16:44.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Be a witness to it.
16:45.455 --> 16:52.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Vince McMahon on a live paper view,
16:54.151 --> 17:01.482
[SPEAKER_03]: to a white guy to a white guy in a do-rad with the black guy standing there.
17:01.582 --> 17:01.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
17:03.845 --> 17:05.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Think about that.
17:07.651 --> 17:08.932
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a wild clip.
17:08.993 --> 17:09.914
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a wild clip.
17:10.735 --> 17:11.937
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a wild clip.
17:12.157 --> 17:12.758
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a wild.
17:13.279 --> 17:17.986
[SPEAKER_04]: He goes and daps up the dogs or like an omics, a wild, wild, wild, wild, wild.
17:18.126 --> 17:20.529
[SPEAKER_03]: King booker is watching.
17:21.250 --> 17:21.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
17:24.138 --> 17:24.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
17:24.739 --> 17:24.879
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
17:24.959 --> 17:25.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
17:26.041 --> 17:26.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Wild.
17:27.002 --> 17:30.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Things that actually happened in WWE.
17:31.950 --> 17:34.975
[SPEAKER_00]: And if this happened in 2020-25, that man would have lost his job.
17:35.556 --> 17:39.522
[SPEAKER_00]: If that ever got out in the mainstream, would have been gone today.
17:40.864 --> 17:41.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Back in 2006, 2007.
17:42.066 --> 17:43.969
[SPEAKER_00]: And up on the radar.
17:46.058 --> 17:47.180
[SPEAKER_00]: that actually happened.
17:47.421 --> 17:49.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's crazy.
17:49.625 --> 18:04.894
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I said, like, it ain't a stretch back then that could have happened because, look at the establishment, look at the president's that was set on a paper view that people bought and that's what you saw live.
18:04.874 --> 18:05.575
[SPEAKER_00]: insanity.
18:06.135 --> 18:09.098
[SPEAKER_00]: So, those are all thoughts on that situation.
18:09.118 --> 18:11.820
[SPEAKER_00]: The GRR decides to release a statement and talk about it.
18:12.301 --> 18:16.284
[SPEAKER_00]: We were reconvene here in office, also in the show, and see what's up with that.
18:16.905 --> 18:34.240
[SPEAKER_00]: As we now move on to some other topics that hand involving WWE present day, and that brings us to Friday night's SmackDown this past Friday, and Salt Lake City, Utah, the night before Saturday night's main event in the very same city,
18:34.220 --> 18:43.029
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Smackdown, we've talked about this for the last few weeks and honestly, several months, not a great show week to week.
18:43.509 --> 18:58.945
[SPEAKER_00]: The saving grace for the last couple of months has been the United States Championship Open Challenge, restarted by then champion Samu Zane, continued by current champion Ilia Draganov, and he's been the saving grace of this show along
18:58.925 --> 19:20.646
[SPEAKER_00]: alongside his opponents in this past Friday was no exception had another great match against Nathan Fraser for the championship when multiple segments just love the physicality the back and forth action the both guys went out there and put on the show and it just really makes this championship mean something when you know at least once a week.
19:20.626 --> 19:29.502
[SPEAKER_00]: on a show that's not very good bell to bell, you're going to get a gym of a match because Elliot's ragging off and whoever you face is simply great at what they do.
19:32.107 --> 19:32.989
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was a good match.
19:34.772 --> 19:37.136
[SPEAKER_04]: I actually thought this was one of the better SmackDown's.
19:37.617 --> 19:41.103
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not wrong about your assessment of the overall program though.
19:41.745 --> 19:44.710
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, the weekly
19:45.702 --> 19:51.317
[SPEAKER_04]: The weekly US title open challenge has been a lot of fun and this was no different.
19:51.337 --> 19:56.430
[SPEAKER_04]: They got almost 20 minutes and a good showcase for Nathan Frazier as well.
19:57.232 --> 20:01.062
[SPEAKER_04]: We've been in the tag team and got a good opportunity to really show what you could do.
20:02.408 --> 20:05.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he's a great single's wrestler when he's given the chance to go out there.
20:05.835 --> 20:12.008
[SPEAKER_00]: He did so again, scary spot towards the enemy, Atlanta on his neck, but thankfully they recovered and Ilya got the win.
20:12.088 --> 20:15.996
[SPEAKER_00]: So great showing for both guys, SmackDown being ahhh.
20:16.921 --> 20:33.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Barely better than usual, you know, it's just a slot to get through even at two hours now because this show is ran by an idiot road dog and AI apparently, but let's get into the greater discussion about that show in particular.
20:33.509 --> 20:39.536
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the lowest attended houses in a long time for WWE.
20:40.097 --> 20:45.844
[SPEAKER_00]: And Salt Lake City, Utah, it was Halloween, but still you can pull a crowd on Halloween.
20:46.545 --> 20:51.431
[SPEAKER_00]: They pulled 4,000 fans on a Friday night.
20:52.472 --> 21:01.002
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a, I want to say maybe like a 2022 house show number, you would pull for a non-tellivized
21:01.336 --> 21:02.398
[SPEAKER_00]: not great.
21:03.019 --> 21:14.097
[SPEAKER_00]: This is led to discussions about WWE pricing out families for these televised non-pile events for raw and SmackDown.
21:14.537 --> 21:21.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Raw is still doing fairly good with their shows SmackDown has been struggling a bit to get sales of very soft.
21:22.250 --> 21:25.555
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about this before on the show.
21:25.805 --> 21:29.031
[SPEAKER_00]: about WWE having this boom period.
21:29.151 --> 21:30.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Things are going well creatively.
21:31.455 --> 21:41.472
[SPEAKER_00]: We sense an inflection point has arrived regarding the creative process and how that translates into people wanting to buy tickets to see shows live.
21:41.933 --> 21:46.380
[SPEAKER_00]: The main PLE shows, I'm not too concerned about because people are still buying tickets.
21:46.741 --> 21:49.686
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some of our series, they're going to get tickets to the big
21:49.666 --> 21:55.936
[SPEAKER_00]: three or four PLEs each year for WWE, they will spin money for these shows if it's good.
21:56.456 --> 22:06.892
[SPEAKER_00]: A big test is going to be running it back in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42 over the two nights and expecting people to spin a whole lot of money and running it back in the same city second year in a row.
22:06.913 --> 22:07.894
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to see.
22:07.874 --> 22:08.895
[SPEAKER_00]: how that's going to go.
22:09.336 --> 22:25.953
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want Scott's thoughts on whether or not WWE is reaching that dreaded plateau of fan engagement for these SmackDown shows that could trickle over to Monday Night Raw because families are being priced out.
22:26.333 --> 22:36.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Take your prices are a little bit too high at this point in time to partake in WWE programming especially when the creative in some instances is very soft right now.
22:39.700 --> 22:57.463
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, I think there's a lot to that, you know, I don't, I don't think it's wrong to say that there are people getting priced out like I don't think you can did not that there's no way you can and the prices are much different than they were a year or two years ago.
22:57.544 --> 22:59.326
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's no way you can't say that.
22:59.346 --> 23:00.748
[SPEAKER_04]: So I agree with you on that point.
23:01.429 --> 23:09.319
[SPEAKER_04]: But also like it was Halloween and there were let me tell you I went to a chocolate tree and I
23:09.923 --> 23:16.374
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we move for 30 minutes, so I, I, I believe a lot of people were out.
23:16.434 --> 23:22.183
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, I'm not, I, I was a kid when good or wrestling show in Angle, get a whole tub of candy and watch the wrestling on TV.
23:22.403 --> 23:27.131
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, that, that doesn't really get to me too much.
23:27.772 --> 23:35.104
[SPEAKER_04]: If it does it again this week, okay, now now now we might be on the something,
23:35.202 --> 23:41.560
[SPEAKER_04]: Like when they had seen punk and AJ Lee and pretty sure that house was almost sold out or close to it.
23:41.640 --> 23:45.651
[SPEAKER_04]: So I know when they came around the North of Matthew Long ago, that place was sold out.
23:46.092 --> 23:47.035
[SPEAKER_04]: I great.
23:47.167 --> 23:58.619
[SPEAKER_04]: They still pull the big houses we need to, but I think this says more to the lack of debt and the lack of star power that's on SmackDown.
23:58.639 --> 24:00.761
[SPEAKER_04]: Look at what you've got going on on Raw, though.
24:00.781 --> 24:05.727
[SPEAKER_04]: When you talk about the better houses and stuff, they got seeing punk there.
24:05.787 --> 24:07.368
[SPEAKER_04]: Now he's the World Heavyweight Champion.
24:07.789 --> 24:11.412
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got, you had Seth Rollins over there who was your World Heavyweight Champion.
24:11.833 --> 24:13.815
[SPEAKER_04]: You had Roman Reigns,
24:13.795 --> 24:15.219
[SPEAKER_04]: was showing up a lot over there.
24:15.419 --> 24:16.963
[SPEAKER_04]: You had Jay Uso over there.
24:17.344 --> 24:20.111
[SPEAKER_04]: You had, uh, you got gunther over there.
24:20.171 --> 24:23.159
[SPEAKER_04]: You had, I mean, look at who you have over there.
24:23.199 --> 24:25.284
[SPEAKER_04]: Dominic Mysterio, say what you want about.
24:25.304 --> 24:26.708
[SPEAKER_04]: Ripley.
24:27.329 --> 24:31.899
[SPEAKER_04]: you're most popular women are over there because Bianca's not here.
24:32.159 --> 24:37.010
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're most popular women are all who's not all wrong besides Cody.
24:37.431 --> 24:43.503
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, to me, I think it speaks more to the lack of who's there on SmackDown.
24:44.666 --> 24:46.710
[SPEAKER_04]: And I mean, Cody's there.
24:46.730 --> 24:47.532
[SPEAKER_04]: That's cool.
24:47.883 --> 24:49.404
[SPEAKER_04]: But who else is there?
24:49.765 --> 24:51.927
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that speaks more of it to me.
24:52.227 --> 24:54.609
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying you're wrong about the price, though, because you can't say that.
24:54.629 --> 24:58.052
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think there's a lot of other elements that are going on too.
24:58.293 --> 25:05.139
[SPEAKER_04]: And if we just keep it in a book, they just don't have as good a product as what they had going on.
25:05.339 --> 25:08.402
[SPEAKER_04]: Like it's just, it's not at that same quality right now.
25:08.522 --> 25:11.084
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think all of those factors are attributed.
25:11.104 --> 25:15.088
[SPEAKER_04]: If they were still on a high level storyline,
25:16.047 --> 25:25.404
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we'd be having this conversation yet, but they just don't have the story, and I don't think SmackDown has the appeal that a raw has.
25:26.847 --> 25:31.796
[SPEAKER_00]: You've made some very good points, and I'm not gonna dispute not a single one of them because you're spot on.
25:31.856 --> 25:36.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando makes a point about a draft for both brands.
25:38.896 --> 25:40.379
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know how to do a draft.
25:40.399 --> 25:43.725
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the problem unfortunately with that.
25:44.105 --> 25:46.029
[SPEAKER_00]: We can scream draft all day.
25:46.790 --> 26:03.520
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a shake-up, I absolutely agree, but when they did a draft last year and you at Lee Fitting, who comes from the world of ESPN who had to be a part of some NFL drafts over the years
26:03.500 --> 26:09.269
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know how to present that presentation to WWE.
26:09.590 --> 26:13.336
[SPEAKER_00]: You do everything else except that I was done.
26:13.736 --> 26:19.686
[SPEAKER_00]: So our theory, our idea would be to implement WWE free agency.
26:19.666 --> 26:21.269
[SPEAKER_00]: you do a trade deadline.
26:21.590 --> 26:29.327
[SPEAKER_00]: You can make up like these contracts or up, who's going to snatch a poo, making it all this and scrap daddy, you know, really fight for talent.
26:29.447 --> 26:37.825
[SPEAKER_00]: That will be fun if they can think outside the box to really reshuffle these rosters because SmackDown is out of a codey and a Randy.
26:38.507 --> 26:39.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Hang on, nothing.
26:40.220 --> 26:45.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing, every bit of star power is now on Monday, and I raw via Netflix.
26:45.531 --> 26:55.891
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was one of the fears that Netflix is the new Fox, the new shiny toy on this nice splashy platform that they're pushing.
26:56.192 --> 26:58.937
[SPEAKER_00]: And then unfortunately on USA Network, you don't cable.
26:58.917 --> 27:01.502
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is not as prestigious as being on Netflix.
27:01.562 --> 27:05.651
[SPEAKER_00]: So that focus, that attention is not going to be there for SmackDown.
27:05.771 --> 27:17.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Clearly, there's more creative focus and care for Monday's show versus Friday's show and then you hear about personnel not being there for Saturday night's main event taking the night off like.
27:19.792 --> 27:28.941
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't issued with that because if you don't care enough to show up, why should I care enough to watch or buy your tickets if you're not backstage running the show.
27:29.641 --> 27:38.029
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul of it, Bruce Pritchard, you want to take the night off because you're not on NBC because they say, a show for you, the why should I watch?
27:38.089 --> 27:39.671
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not an a show for me either.
27:39.691 --> 27:43.194
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are things that kind of grind me a bit priorities.
27:43.234 --> 27:43.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Where are they?
27:43.695 --> 27:44.796
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to be more political.
27:44.876 --> 27:47.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul, focus on your show.
27:47.078 --> 27:48.341
[SPEAKER_00]: Focus on SmackDown.
27:48.381 --> 27:49.945
[SPEAKER_00]: The rating system has changed.
27:49.985 --> 27:51.308
[SPEAKER_00]: The demos are soft.
27:51.348 --> 27:52.811
[SPEAKER_00]: The ticket sales aren't there right now.
27:53.172 --> 27:54.916
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a complete blip on the radar.
27:54.997 --> 27:56.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Things back to normal next week.
27:56.821 --> 28:05.020
[SPEAKER_00]: But as Scott said, for every high there's a low and I remember that when there was WrestleMania back in Texas,
28:05.253 --> 28:16.525
[SPEAKER_00]: a few years ago, I said, that was the moment, the thing turned for WWE and that was been still there for you to leave due to a lot of stuff he was doing on the low.
28:17.406 --> 28:19.468
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, that was the moment things changed.
28:19.508 --> 28:24.253
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the moment the game changed and the game changed again in a russomania.
28:24.373 --> 28:28.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Ironically enough, russomania is always at inflection point for WWE.
28:28.878 --> 28:45.655
[SPEAKER_00]: good or bad and creatively since that time it has not been great can they correct it possibly it starts with ticket sales it starts with refocusing on your shows your talents spreading the wealth around and for the love of God
28:45.635 --> 29:10.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Shake things up and try at least on Friday nights and one theory that I like to see is possibly, and I know because I like to make money, maybe WWE needs to run mid-sized arenas, like they did on Monday night Raw, to maybe change the atmosphere and vibe of SmackDown, because there's bigger arenas right now, then I bring a lot of heat on Friday nights.
29:13.917 --> 29:14.718
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'll be fine.
29:14.778 --> 29:15.779
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything goes in a cycle.
29:15.839 --> 29:18.742
[SPEAKER_04]: So no, no, don't go through this little struggle.
29:18.922 --> 29:20.444
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get through it, smack down.
29:20.464 --> 29:23.928
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get a nice story, and no, don't get the boost back.
29:23.968 --> 29:27.852
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's not anything you can be able to do about the ticket prices.
29:27.932 --> 29:32.037
[SPEAKER_04]: So now it's just all about being able to get a good story out there.
29:32.057 --> 29:38.083
[SPEAKER_04]: But I, like I said, I think this week and next week's attendance will be the more telling stories.
29:38.384 --> 29:42.388
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not really too concerned about a holiday.
29:42.841 --> 29:47.349
[SPEAKER_04]: I could, I just could see how we being a day where people are like, nah, it was a nice day, too.
29:47.870 --> 29:48.170
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
29:48.932 --> 29:49.833
[SPEAKER_04]: Why would I want to be inside?
29:50.334 --> 29:50.695
[SPEAKER_04]: I get it.
29:52.779 --> 29:54.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando, why you got left for my comment?
29:54.381 --> 29:56.866
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a new, we need a new landscape.
29:56.926 --> 29:57.367
[SPEAKER_00]: We do.
29:57.447 --> 29:59.070
[SPEAKER_00]: We do need a new landscape.
29:59.991 --> 30:03.718
[SPEAKER_00]: We can, hey, I produce a new landscape, you know.
30:04.340 --> 30:06.803
[SPEAKER_04]: And if we're going to do the drive, we're going to do the drive, man.
30:07.083 --> 30:08.645
[SPEAKER_04]: Put him, put him all back in the same room.
30:09.005 --> 30:12.068
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, put him all back in the same room, we're in the shirts.
30:12.088 --> 30:15.492
[SPEAKER_04]: And when you get drafted, you got to take the shirt off and you got to go on the other locker room.
30:16.873 --> 30:17.414
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
30:17.434 --> 30:19.276
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanted, I wanted back like that.
30:19.296 --> 30:23.160
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember undertaker got drafted and he was pissed off.
30:23.180 --> 30:25.042
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I just remember that man being pissed off.
30:25.102 --> 30:27.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody look at real shook, didn't know what to say.
30:28.405 --> 30:28.966
[SPEAKER_02]: I want that.
30:29.346 --> 30:31.849
[SPEAKER_02]: I want that type of energy in the room.
30:32.538 --> 30:38.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that clip is all time because he got up, flipped the chair.
30:39.965 --> 30:46.691
[SPEAKER_00]: He proceeded to kick the door open and walked out all time.
30:46.711 --> 30:47.112
[SPEAKER_04]: Tantrum.
30:47.492 --> 30:49.894
[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of the best tantrums ever.
30:49.994 --> 30:51.255
[SPEAKER_00]: He was pissed off.
30:51.276 --> 30:52.777
[SPEAKER_00]: We need that kind of reaction.
30:53.117 --> 30:54.318
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
30:54.499 --> 30:56.500
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, back in the day they did shoot drafts.
30:56.600 --> 31:01.465
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you didn't know when you was going to go into the day you showed up
31:02.120 --> 31:08.610
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like we need that back, we need, we need you to get a little shook it about what you're going to go.
31:09.131 --> 31:10.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know, these will be real co-bladed.
31:11.254 --> 31:15.120
[SPEAKER_00]: These separate spouses back in the day like now you can be traveling with them no more.
31:15.140 --> 31:17.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
31:17.103 --> 31:17.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
31:17.904 --> 31:20.027
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to see them every other Thursday.
31:20.733 --> 31:21.955
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how that's gonna go.
31:22.035 --> 31:23.477
[SPEAKER_00]: So they did that back in the day.
31:23.497 --> 31:24.518
[SPEAKER_00]: I need some surprises.
31:25.500 --> 31:36.535
[SPEAKER_00]: I need some something, something to re-energize this, bring back the t-shirts, bring back the ticker, do something to make this interesting.
31:36.555 --> 31:39.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause last year's draft, that's why they didn't do one this year.
31:39.319 --> 31:41.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause it was terrible, it was dry.
31:41.321 --> 31:43.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the fact is nobody really moved in a way.
31:43.444 --> 31:46.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody stayed where they were, essentially.
31:46.308 --> 31:47.650
[SPEAKER_00]: Which was like, what kind of draft is this?
31:48.491 --> 31:49.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Be for real.
31:50.635 --> 32:00.630
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so that's SmackDown, that's our sidebar discussion about where things are in terms of ticket sales and if they can turn things around specifically on Friday night.
32:01.491 --> 32:20.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's now get into a show I was already dragged in which Saturday night's main event going down live in the same venue the next night and personnel decided to take the night off.
32:20.099 --> 32:21.582
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Bruce Pritch and I'm out.
32:22.003 --> 32:27.854
[SPEAKER_00]: So basically we had road dog and AI running the show and we need prayers already because please, please.
32:28.375 --> 32:30.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have four matches on tap.
32:30.840 --> 32:34.026
[SPEAKER_00]: Our first matches for the undisputed WWE championship.
32:34.066 --> 32:41.280
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes versus the alleged new American dream Drew McIntyre.
32:41.260 --> 32:47.530
[SPEAKER_00]: match was perfectly fine, both guys are very good at what they do, but we knew how this would end.
32:47.590 --> 32:55.042
[SPEAKER_00]: And Cody, once again, used some interesting means to retain the championship.
32:55.462 --> 32:57.225
[SPEAKER_00]: The rules of the match is pretty simple.
32:59.228 --> 33:06.660
[SPEAKER_00]: A Druke would win the championship via DQ or
33:06.995 --> 33:10.440
[SPEAKER_00]: At one point, and we had incidental contact with the referee.
33:10.861 --> 33:20.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Referee was knocked out for 25 minutes, went to sleep, took a nap, and then in that time, Drew McIntyre introduces the WWE Championship belt.
33:20.895 --> 33:24.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody uses it to DDT, Drew McIntyre on said belt.
33:25.081 --> 33:36.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Crossroads, W, and at that moment, I wanted to myself, how low can Drew McIntyre go?
33:38.011 --> 33:41.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Highlander can't come quick enough for him to film.
33:41.916 --> 33:55.773
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to be off television, needs to honestly recharge, reset, and maybe come back as a baby face at this point, because clearly this is run as course as a heel, you can't talk shit and keep losing like this.
34:00.178 --> 34:07.107
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's uh, when you can get the guy, I mean, even Christian be ran to Jordan with a DQ.
34:07.475 --> 34:34.073
[SPEAKER_04]: If you can't even get the Christian when we own real rough patches, um, this, this, this was set up perfectly for, for, for Cody to give a nice little chase could have got a nice wind back at, at survivor series, um, but yeah, Drew is Drew's just there to put the, the top baby faces over and this is what I mean, now what?
34:34.998 --> 34:39.965
[SPEAKER_04]: Now you do Cody, we got going on, but guy, we're gonna do next.
34:39.985 --> 34:40.666
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's next?
34:41.367 --> 34:46.994
[SPEAKER_04]: Solo going back down that road, like Randy.
34:47.675 --> 34:50.159
[SPEAKER_04]: We've been, we've been churning this one for a while.
34:50.179 --> 34:51.761
[SPEAKER_04]: We've been making butter.
34:51.781 --> 34:55.245
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we, we got going on right now.
34:55.326 --> 35:04.498
[SPEAKER_04]: So shout out to Drew, he got the bag, he got his world title five minutes.
35:05.002 --> 35:05.785
[SPEAKER_04]: and now we're here.
35:05.965 --> 35:14.556
[SPEAKER_04]: So go get your movie, go chop some heads off, and then when they chop your head off, come on back and get yourself a title.
35:17.067 --> 35:36.561
[SPEAKER_00]: You just said that so graphically go, film highlander, shop some heads off, get your head shopped off, come back when some titles reset, you know, what's so crazy to me is after you get a bag, you thought like your whole push was going to be different, you get a bag and like is just the same old same old.
35:36.541 --> 35:38.244
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, what are we doing here?
35:38.444 --> 35:44.616
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think they really dropped the ball on his storyline going against the bloodline that was good stuff.
35:44.636 --> 35:51.028
[SPEAKER_00]: He was hunting down each member of the bloodline out for vengeance for what they did to him a few years ago.
35:51.148 --> 35:57.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's sad because like this dude, five years ago, was carrying this company during a freaking pandemic.
35:57.820 --> 35:58.901
[SPEAKER_00]: with no one was there.
35:59.342 --> 36:02.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think he's in properly rewarded for that ever since.
36:02.125 --> 36:11.697
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had teases at the championship, won the title for five minutes at last year's WrestleMania only to lose it to Damian Priest.
36:11.717 --> 36:20.487
[SPEAKER_00]: And since that time, you had a great few to see and Paul culminated in one of the best Hannah Selmatches ever, but since that time, it's like he's been really,
36:20.973 --> 36:31.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Not doing much in a unfortunate and, you know, his prime years, they're adding up, he's almost 40 years old, your body will break down.
36:31.084 --> 36:36.750
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to be as fast as you used to be, you know, going to do the athletic things you used to do in the ring.
36:36.771 --> 36:43.538
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have to modify your style a bit at some point and we'll see if you can reset come back, but do you think this.
36:43.518 --> 36:55.182
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of trolling he'll gimmick has won his course, would you like to see Drew come back as something a bit different, a bit more serious whenever he returns a WWE if that break is coming for him.
36:57.895 --> 37:26.772
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's I think he's found a nice balance between the two because when you step up face to face with him, he still drew back in time, but he still looks like if he wanted to he could just break your arm and have like, you know, I so and I think he's found a good balance of where he can say something and you're kind of like, yeah, do I want to say something back to him do do I want to do I want to test this bully, you know, you're supposed to stand up to your bullies maybe I'll let this one go.
37:27.055 --> 37:27.996
[SPEAKER_04]: There's let him say what he wants.
37:28.056 --> 37:31.740
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think he's found a good balance between the two.
37:33.262 --> 37:34.864
[SPEAKER_04]: Could he be more serious, yeah.
37:35.544 --> 37:39.749
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean, how much more serious is he gonna get?
37:39.789 --> 37:44.354
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think he's, I think he's a good balance.
37:44.374 --> 37:49.119
[SPEAKER_04]: If you want to turn on baby face and have him start clowning him, I think he loses a little bit of a zish.
37:49.179 --> 37:57.028
[SPEAKER_04]: So I just keep him a heel or just having a attack everybody and just having no friends.
37:58.004 --> 37:58.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for that.
37:59.085 --> 37:59.906
[SPEAKER_00]: It works for Gunther.
37:59.926 --> 38:00.968
[SPEAKER_00]: He's great at what he does.
38:01.068 --> 38:03.271
[SPEAKER_00]: So we shall see where it goes from here.
38:03.371 --> 38:07.676
[SPEAKER_00]: But decent match to start the show even though the outcome was predictable.
38:08.357 --> 38:18.850
[SPEAKER_00]: As we get to our next match, which was for the WWE Women's Championship, it was Tiffany Stratton, the champion with an engineering going up against Jade Cargill, the challenger.
38:19.011 --> 38:25.699
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was a one-sided match that basically
38:25.679 --> 38:37.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Dominant, powerful, menacing, a badass and as expected, got the W with jaded to become the new WWE women's champion.
38:37.437 --> 38:47.974
[SPEAKER_00]: The fourth time is the charm to win this title about damn time long overdue thought this was one of Jade's best showing just being dominant.
38:47.954 --> 39:03.130
[SPEAKER_00]: Just being dominant, just being out there, whooping ass, because the first year in WWE, it was selling, and learning how to sell, and being the baby face in peril, and making hot tags, and getting your comeback.
39:03.210 --> 39:04.393
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like,
39:05.099 --> 39:06.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Great, that was fun.
39:06.201 --> 39:08.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let her be a dominant badass.
39:08.304 --> 39:11.989
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like you're booking in reverse now, that now she must be dominant.
39:12.009 --> 39:16.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she must be the unsalkable force until Bianca Balellaire comes back.
39:16.176 --> 39:18.118
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it and I'm happy for her.
39:18.179 --> 39:20.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Match was solid for what it was.
39:20.843 --> 39:23.867
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a nice dominant showcase for Jay Cargill.
39:26.125 --> 39:42.252
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a taffy times over, and, you know, I'm here for Jade, I'm just, and maybe this is me nitpicking, like, I'm always happy for the queens to get their crowns.
39:42.452 --> 39:44.556
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't don't don't get it twisted, but
39:45.025 --> 39:52.978
[SPEAKER_04]: Now she's bad, she's mean all of a sudden and now she can just plow through everybody.
39:53.158 --> 39:57.405
[SPEAKER_04]: Now it's like, oh, we ain't doing that 10 minutes, spectacle.
39:57.425 --> 39:58.527
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm running through you.
39:59.308 --> 40:01.392
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just doing, we doing drills.
40:02.053 --> 40:02.714
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what?
40:03.756 --> 40:07.101
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just, sometimes it's a lot.
40:07.161 --> 40:08.984
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, it's sometimes that's a lot.
40:09.024 --> 40:09.565
[SPEAKER_04]: Like it's,
40:10.878 --> 40:16.106
[SPEAKER_04]: Give me a week of her like mulling somebody and showing a whole new side, right?
40:16.166 --> 40:20.472
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not, she's not Brock Lesnar, just like this ain't Brock and John Cena?
40:20.552 --> 40:24.498
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't know, that could just be mean nitpicking.
40:24.538 --> 40:29.325
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't like the way she's just like, now she's,
40:29.592 --> 40:40.552
[SPEAKER_04]: He's on the dark side and she's now got the dark side of the force on her side so she can just all of a sudden completely dominate Tiffany on a whole different level it's I guess she's got the knee injury to but.
40:42.075 --> 40:43.678
[SPEAKER_04]: It's always just funny how that works.
40:45.141 --> 40:51.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I am not disagreeing with you because I just said they're booking a reverse with her.
40:52.019 --> 40:58.154
[SPEAKER_00]: For a year, it was the Jay Caragill you must learn how to sell in a work showcase.
40:58.655 --> 40:59.718
[SPEAKER_00]: They did that.
41:00.139 --> 41:04.350
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, as fans, we're supposed to be like men in black.
41:04.370 --> 41:05.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's normalize you.
41:05.693 --> 41:08.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's forget how she was pushed and presented.
41:08.540 --> 41:13.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she turned here for a grand total of seven business days.
41:13.710 --> 41:24.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's go ahead and do this dominant champion push and she doesn't sell now and she'll move through people in five minutes or less.
41:25.600 --> 41:26.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Where was this year ago?
41:27.703 --> 41:30.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you had to slow roll her.
41:30.446 --> 41:31.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's learn how to work.
41:31.948 --> 41:33.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's learn how to sell.
41:33.189 --> 41:34.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm all for that.
41:34.511 --> 41:38.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all for learning the basic fundamentals of professional wrestling.
41:38.796 --> 41:44.663
[SPEAKER_00]: But now you want me to believe that she's a killer after two weeks.
41:46.185 --> 41:47.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, cool.
41:47.907 --> 41:50.249
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gonna move through our opponents to be on come back.
41:50.390 --> 41:50.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
41:51.511 --> 41:54.915
[SPEAKER_00]: She's basically doing the reverse
41:58.912 --> 42:04.939
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, I don't see her mowing through people, um, because the first of all, they don't have the body else to give her.
42:05.660 --> 42:07.082
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, because everybody else has tied up.
42:08.123 --> 42:09.365
[SPEAKER_04]: Charlotte and Alexa are tied up.
42:10.546 --> 42:14.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Meachon is nowhere to be found because she has to be in the US title picture somewhere.
42:15.192 --> 42:16.693
[SPEAKER_04]: The Lena Vega is now a manager.
42:16.754 --> 42:23.822
[SPEAKER_04]: So, maybe she's working with the dark arts.
42:24.764 --> 42:31.383
[SPEAKER_04]: they don't have, they literally don't have anybody else who can go after Jade right now.
42:33.027 --> 42:33.930
[SPEAKER_04]: Two feet to her.
42:37.049 --> 42:40.633
[SPEAKER_00]: damn shame and nobody, nobody is there.
42:41.254 --> 42:45.699
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to circle back on some comments that Fernando suggested for them.
42:45.719 --> 42:57.251
[SPEAKER_00]: From the first match, he suggested Opafimmy comes out out of nowhere attacks Cody one day and proclaims he wants to make history as a biggest debut by dethroning him.
42:57.932 --> 42:59.874
[SPEAKER_00]: That would shake things up.
42:59.894 --> 43:02.297
[SPEAKER_00]: That would make things interesting.
43:02.277 --> 43:08.988
[SPEAKER_00]: because God knows they need something, because COVID right now has no body except Randy or naming T's and F. A to four years.
43:12.814 --> 43:13.756
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it was interesting.
43:16.761 --> 43:18.103
[SPEAKER_04]: Do they put the rocket on them?
43:18.924 --> 43:24.614
[SPEAKER_04]: I could see them calling them and just having them lose, but I don't think that does open anything.
43:24.674 --> 43:29.061
[SPEAKER_04]: So if he's not winning, I don't want it and I don't see them having them win.
43:29.378 --> 43:37.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you're not going to give me what I want, don't even tease me with the possibility because I don't like half-a-half stuff, not nostalgia at all.
43:37.685 --> 43:41.508
[SPEAKER_00]: As we also scroll down to another comment that was made in conversation.
43:41.568 --> 43:49.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando, once Tony DeAngelo, to be Jay's ballet, dressed to hear Jay say, Tony, cut shit again.
43:49.755 --> 43:58.963
[SPEAKER_04]: Will we get it uncensored?
43:59.315 --> 44:02.804
[SPEAKER_04]: Jade's heavy, um, it's not the family.
44:03.786 --> 44:05.891
[SPEAKER_04]: Represent Jade, it's not the worst idea.
44:07.575 --> 44:09.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's as she needs some hitters.
44:09.743 --> 44:16.472
[SPEAKER_00]: She needs a family maybe, the dawn can provide protection and services and assistance.
44:16.492 --> 44:17.453
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all for that.
44:17.694 --> 44:20.237
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go ahead and make it happen.
44:20.617 --> 44:22.500
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're trying to figure out what Tony D is.
44:22.921 --> 44:30.631
[SPEAKER_00]: He was cut off in XT a few months ago trying to get repackaged because you can't be a mobster completely in WWE.
44:30.651 --> 44:33.715
[SPEAKER_00]: But that would be like a nice ol' site gag if they weren't going that direction.
44:34.296 --> 44:36.038
[SPEAKER_00]: But happy for Jade.
44:36.018 --> 44:42.850
[SPEAKER_00]: S. Scott says we celebrate our black queens, even though we question the booking and presentation sometimes for sure.
44:43.611 --> 44:51.245
[SPEAKER_00]: And that division honestly has not been the same since Naomi left to go to Monday Night Raw and Bianca got hurt.
44:52.587 --> 44:55.512
[SPEAKER_00]: When they left there with the division in the story,
44:55.610 --> 45:06.733
[SPEAKER_00]: It just has not been the same ever since along with Tiffany having the most repetitive matches and feuds with Naya and Jade all summer long.
45:08.063 --> 45:09.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
45:09.265 --> 45:10.566
[SPEAKER_00]: Smack down these Jesus.
45:11.107 --> 45:12.649
[SPEAKER_00]: They need something.
45:13.190 --> 45:13.530
[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
45:14.091 --> 45:14.452
[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
45:14.932 --> 45:18.737
[SPEAKER_00]: But we do know it's probably leading to Jade versus Bianca at WrestleMania.
45:18.777 --> 45:20.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for that.
45:20.319 --> 45:25.426
[SPEAKER_00]: That's been teased for quite some time Bianca and her finger.
45:25.466 --> 45:26.728
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a long road.
45:26.748 --> 45:32.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully she's back soon, preferably by the warrior rumble in late January.
45:33.325 --> 45:39.661
[SPEAKER_00]: Our next match, my favorite match of the night, which was Dury Domiting Mysterio, defending his I.C.
45:39.701 --> 45:44.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Championship against Roosev and Panta and a Chobot threat match, I enjoyed it.
45:45.315 --> 45:48.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Great hygiene, great fun, shenanigans of foot.
45:49.306 --> 45:52.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Dury Dom finds a way to win by cheating, of course.
45:52.371 --> 45:57.759
[SPEAKER_00]: And in this case, Rusev eats the pin to protect Pinta, which I'm not mad at at all.
45:58.140 --> 46:01.064
[SPEAKER_00]: So fun match, love the high jinx.
46:01.585 --> 46:02.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Dury Dom is we get to.
46:02.807 --> 46:06.853
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you can't deny him too much longer.
46:06.873 --> 46:09.978
[SPEAKER_00]: The people want to cheer this man.
46:09.998 --> 46:12.141
[SPEAKER_00]: How long can they delay this?
46:14.686 --> 46:14.966
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
46:15.026 --> 46:15.507
[SPEAKER_04]: Good match.
46:16.348 --> 46:17.369
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice wind for Dom.
46:18.290 --> 46:21.594
[SPEAKER_04]: And we we we we we can delay the longer because I think Monday night Ross at a few more seats for that turn later on down the road.
46:21.614 --> 46:22.535
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more, couple more stops.
46:22.615 --> 46:23.716
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a minute before we hit that full baby face turn.
46:23.736 --> 46:25.058
[SPEAKER_04]: But nobody can turn you back like your father.
46:25.078 --> 46:26.379
[SPEAKER_04]: So we got a few more stops.
46:26.820 --> 46:27.440
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:27.460 --> 46:28.061
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:28.081 --> 46:28.722
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:28.742 --> 46:29.443
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:29.463 --> 46:30.023
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:30.043 --> 46:31.105
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:31.125 --> 46:32.506
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:32.526 --> 46:33.347
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:33.387 --> 46:34.048
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:34.068 --> 46:35.149
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:35.169 --> 46:36.250
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:36.351 --> 46:37.512
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:37.532 --> 46:38.153
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:38.173 --> 46:38.773
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:38.813 --> 46:39.474
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:39.634 --> 46:40.455
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:40.475 --> 46:41.016
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:41.036 --> 46:41.617
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:41.637 --> 46:42.197
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:42.217 --> 46:42.798
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a couple more stops.
46:42.818 --> 46:42.938
[UNKNOWN]: We got
46:43.492 --> 47:01.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I will say as we'll get to later, Ray, it was a challenge for a moment, until a turn, because they were, yeah, that moment, and I was like, oh, Lord, y'all gonna let him really get you to his daddy.
47:02.032 --> 47:07.838
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about that in a bit, but that swell is increasing and dirty dumb.
47:08.199 --> 47:09.360
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think he's great.
47:09.700 --> 47:13.144
[SPEAKER_00]: I have many things to say about him later.
47:13.613 --> 47:20.606
[SPEAKER_00]: really didn't match, enjoyed it for what it was, Rusev has no heat as a heal at all.
47:21.427 --> 47:35.132
[SPEAKER_00]: Just there, does his job and that he gets his check, and he goes home, do you think he needs to call
47:37.762 --> 47:40.285
[SPEAKER_04]: No, because I'm not trying to hear a lot of talk.
47:40.325 --> 47:43.188
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not talking in Russian and that we noticed she's not Russian.
47:43.228 --> 47:44.409
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm good.
47:44.429 --> 47:45.390
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I'm saying?
47:45.450 --> 47:47.452
[SPEAKER_04]: So like I'm straight on that.
47:48.514 --> 47:52.878
[SPEAKER_04]: What I do think Russo has, I think Russo and Shamus could be a really good tag team.
47:53.899 --> 47:57.884
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that somehow should have, that should have came out of that.
47:58.564 --> 48:01.828
[SPEAKER_04]: Shamus should just be forming tag teams with people he likes to fight.
48:01.994 --> 48:03.940
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like, you know what, let's just, let's just team up.
48:03.980 --> 48:14.209
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I think that's going to be his best bet is to find him and aid an English to come do some entrances form, they got the DNA relationship relationship going on.
48:14.229 --> 48:16.736
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe get ruse of day or yeah.
48:16.796 --> 48:17.117
[SPEAKER_04]: So.
48:17.097 --> 48:34.532
[SPEAKER_04]: One of that, but I either think he's going to get a tag team or he needs to go find someone that he can play off of a straight type of dude that he can play off of because what he got going on right now is he's just out there being a guy getting paid and that's fine.
48:35.187 --> 48:36.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, pays bills.
48:37.349 --> 48:39.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're trying to be like me trying to manifest tag teams.
48:40.352 --> 48:41.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Good luck with that.
48:41.773 --> 48:43.414
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not going to say what I said.
48:43.454 --> 48:47.598
[SPEAKER_00]: What I've been saying that has traumatized me, but you go ahead and wish.
48:48.039 --> 48:56.907
[SPEAKER_00]: And you go ahead and hope that Rusev and Shamus becomes a tag team that Shamus tags with all of his opponents because he's just a bad ass and he respects his guys.
48:56.947 --> 48:58.388
[SPEAKER_00]: He goes up against, I get it.
48:58.848 --> 49:00.790
[SPEAKER_00]: You go ahead and you live that dream for me.
49:01.210 --> 49:05.194
[SPEAKER_00]: I had that dream last year and it was denied to me.
49:05.174 --> 49:16.932
[SPEAKER_00]: But you dream for both of us, okay, you take that mantle and you try to manifest the dream tag team for us and honor of what I was denied and deprived of last year.
49:16.952 --> 49:19.776
[SPEAKER_04]: I will do that.
49:20.217 --> 49:31.975
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, while I'm at it, I am, am I messing around and, and throw a, a return of
49:32.917 --> 49:34.440
[SPEAKER_00]: actually let's not do that.
49:34.840 --> 49:35.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
49:35.842 --> 49:36.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Good on that reunion.
49:36.944 --> 49:38.847
[SPEAKER_00]: I am very at peace with that, okay?
49:38.927 --> 49:39.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much.
49:40.429 --> 49:43.675
[SPEAKER_00]: As Fernando notes, when Liv returns, she will be cheered.
49:44.035 --> 49:45.738
[SPEAKER_00]: That's when Dom goes babyface.
49:46.720 --> 49:47.421
[SPEAKER_00]: Possibly.
49:48.343 --> 49:48.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Possibly.
49:49.424 --> 49:51.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Or she could whip his ass or make an eyes at Roxanne.
49:55.274 --> 49:56.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
49:56.977 --> 49:57.017
[SPEAKER_00]: I.
49:58.381 --> 50:02.765
[SPEAKER_04]: I think him and his daddy are going to come together, and that's what's going to turn on baby face.
50:02.785 --> 50:03.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so too.
50:04.027 --> 50:12.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there is going to be like a hallmark moment when they reunite, and he realizes my family ain't shit, ain't nothing like blood.
50:13.035 --> 50:13.936
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's hug it out, dad.
50:14.196 --> 50:17.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that is equity, and that will be built up beautifully.
50:17.960 --> 50:28.050
[SPEAKER_00]: The irony of the judgment day turning on him and all he has left is legitimately his father
50:29.667 --> 50:35.478
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, like judgment day beat him down, Ramester, it comes out saves a day.
50:35.498 --> 50:40.387
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, they get the mic in the ring and he's like, listen, do no matter what happens, you'll always be my son.
50:40.888 --> 50:45.617
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, like he hits you with that line in the middle of the ring and they hug, come on.
50:46.053 --> 50:46.613
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
50:46.934 --> 50:47.414
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a wrap.
50:47.834 --> 50:48.455
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a wrap.
50:48.475 --> 50:54.180
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, the emotions would be real because they love each other down to real and try and happy tears.
50:54.360 --> 50:58.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, come on, it's just it writes itself if you want to do it in that way.
50:59.304 --> 51:02.987
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he can honor his dad and his other dad, Eddie by cheating all the time.
51:03.027 --> 51:04.949
[SPEAKER_00]: His matches in a very endearing way.
51:05.049 --> 51:06.390
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like the best of both worlds.
51:06.910 --> 51:15.958
[SPEAKER_00]: If you choose to go in that direction and then as Fernando tries to salvage this new League of Nations,
51:15.938 --> 51:18.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando, we need a new Imperium.
51:18.602 --> 51:19.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
51:19.523 --> 51:28.757
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we get like Gonsher, Shamus, Brufsev, Lou Vegas for the streets and out of the Americano, C8 coming back no more.
51:29.157 --> 51:30.920
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in Brace in Mexican culture.
51:31.160 --> 51:31.721
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gone.
51:32.122 --> 51:35.106
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you could revamp Imperium, cool.
51:36.428 --> 51:41.175
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you got to get, you got to get the cream out the Oreo, get Grace and Waller out the new day.
51:42.016 --> 51:43.178
[SPEAKER_04]: I can give you a stir.
51:47.478 --> 51:48.639
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, pause.
51:49.780 --> 51:50.120
[SPEAKER_00]: Pause.
51:54.084 --> 51:58.428
[SPEAKER_04]: You're right, but that's literally what you're going to have to do, if you want to form that legal issues.
51:58.748 --> 52:03.492
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys just scoop it, don't leave the chocolate and just keep it moving.
52:06.354 --> 52:12.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you know, because you open the door, it's not an Oreo, dude.
52:12.460 --> 52:14.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a donker rule, it's a donker rule, okay?
52:15.362 --> 52:16.303
[SPEAKER_00]: It's donker rule.
52:17.228 --> 52:30.114
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh man, and then three was that was they put that man in the middle that was a Oreo Yeah, they literally put it they walked out and had him fill the middle.
52:30.855 --> 52:33.440
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't Oreo It wasn't Oreo.
52:33.460 --> 52:34.883
[SPEAKER_00]: It was doing
52:34.863 --> 52:36.185
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very deliberate.
52:36.305 --> 52:37.567
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very in your face.
52:38.168 --> 52:43.797
[SPEAKER_00]: The new day and shit for that, but I'm glad hopefully this is almost over because I can't.
52:44.057 --> 52:45.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I really can't put them.
52:45.439 --> 52:48.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk about a pointless hill turn in hindsight, what the hell?
52:48.804 --> 53:02.625
[SPEAKER_00]: What any event, smooth onto our main event, which was a polarizing main event, ladies and gentlemen, it was Jay Uso, main event Jay Uso, and Sam punk
53:02.605 --> 53:08.532
[SPEAKER_00]: If you tuned in to the first half of the match, my condolences, because it was not good.
53:08.992 --> 53:30.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if it came in for the second half of the match, it was better, I will say, because it went from morning water to maybe a little bit of water and a little bit of season in the water, you know, as you try to prepare your meal, it was a fully complete, but it was decent enough, and Sam Punk is now your new world heavyweight champion.
53:33.487 --> 53:34.328
[SPEAKER_00]: J. Uso.
53:40.976 --> 53:51.530
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first time I've been hearing this a little bit last couple of shows because I said until the internet translate television till those.
53:53.712 --> 53:58.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Boobs online generate the television can buy stock.
53:58.934 --> 54:04.181
[SPEAKER_00]: her a little bit of that on Saturday, her a little bit of that on Monday.
54:04.241 --> 54:05.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a trend alert?
54:06.884 --> 54:07.645
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see.
54:08.446 --> 54:09.628
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see about this.
54:12.171 --> 54:15.896
[SPEAKER_00]: The one thing I never wanted for Jay was to become a gimmick.
54:15.916 --> 54:21.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Never want to him to be more than never want to him to be just an insurance and a catchphrase.
54:22.154 --> 54:40.011
[SPEAKER_00]: The on course are taking a lot out of him and he gets winded in his matches and it showed for the first half of this match when punk had to carry him and then you see like this kind of back and forth about punk being old in this and then the third listen you can do what you can do against who you're against.
54:39.991 --> 54:43.517
[SPEAKER_00]: and Jay was a half-speed for half of this match.
54:43.838 --> 54:44.859
[SPEAKER_00]: That's reality.
54:45.120 --> 54:46.642
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not putting that all on the CM Punk.
54:46.662 --> 54:47.724
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at Jay Uso.
54:48.145 --> 54:49.828
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's got to be a refocus.
54:49.908 --> 54:51.671
[SPEAKER_00]: So we came to be doing it more on course.
54:52.032 --> 54:55.097
[SPEAKER_00]: It was going to expend you like that during matches.
54:55.077 --> 55:11.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Second half was good, but it's it's time to kind of reassess Jay's positioning on Monday night Raw in the main event scene because my fear is now he's hitting a plateau and the blue birds they will get louder
55:11.463 --> 55:31.190
[SPEAKER_00]: they will get a little bit sharper here and that might cause him to reassess what he needs to do to kind of re-figure out this character because when he was in a bloodline, he was more than a gimmick, he was more than a catchphrase, he was a fully formed, realized character that got over.
55:31.551 --> 55:33.133
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why he got over.
55:33.113 --> 55:46.992
[SPEAKER_00]: not because of eating because he had a story that people connected to as a man, as a human being, as someone that people wanted to root for, because of what he had to overcome in his own family.
55:51.939 --> 55:54.503
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's part you're right about, and it's definitely why he got over.
55:55.604 --> 55:57.227
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm on the other side of that.
55:57.487 --> 56:01.753
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Jay-us was just fine, man.
56:01.902 --> 56:04.867
[SPEAKER_04]: where he's at is where he's supposed to be at.
56:04.987 --> 56:09.994
[SPEAKER_04]: Like he's not supposed to be the top top guy.
56:10.054 --> 56:13.660
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think he was ever intended to be the top top guy.
56:13.680 --> 56:17.426
[SPEAKER_04]: As much as he was just intended to be viewed among the top guys.
56:18.287 --> 56:21.953
[SPEAKER_04]: So when you get a big win like to now from now one when you talk about J.U.
56:21.973 --> 56:29.985
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're talking about a former World Heavyweight Champion, regardless of how the rain was or what the rain was, he's a former World Heavyweight Champion.
56:30.809 --> 56:39.746
[SPEAKER_04]: and they've kept him in that area that kept him in that mix, kept him mingling among those main Avengers, mingling among the top guys.
56:40.828 --> 56:44.455
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've done a good job of establishing him of where he is.
56:44.956 --> 56:47.380
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, was the match good?
56:47.400 --> 56:53.492
[SPEAKER_04]: No, you won't, you won't get me trying to defend the match or defend J. Uso for that night.
56:53.894 --> 57:00.081
[SPEAKER_04]: They had a bad night, and you can't have, you can't have multiple bad nights as a main event or I get that.
57:00.742 --> 57:10.432
[SPEAKER_04]: But there is still a very organic connection that he has that people will still believe him when it comes to win that match.
57:10.633 --> 57:15.078
[SPEAKER_04]: When it came down the stretch, like you said that back half, people were still into the match.
57:15.098 --> 57:19.142
[SPEAKER_04]: People were believing he could win that match against a CM Punk.
57:20.320 --> 57:22.542
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's because he had already won a title.
57:22.562 --> 57:24.324
[SPEAKER_04]: It's because he had already beat a gun there.
57:24.785 --> 57:29.209
[SPEAKER_04]: When he put that sleeper, when he put that chokehold on, that wasn't people bought into that.
57:29.650 --> 57:42.123
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think they've done what they needed to do to establish another main eventor who is believable, who can take these losses, and people still will rally behind him.
57:42.704 --> 57:49.551
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, what you said about the Boobers and if it continues in each city
57:49.717 --> 58:03.945
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we'll reassess and we'll figure out what we're going to do because I think they're setting him up for when Jimmy leaves because he's not going to have, you're not going to be able to go back to the Usos or anything like that, so they're they're setting him up one is next trajectory, but.
58:04.313 --> 58:10.888
[SPEAKER_04]: I just think you, as of right now, you host study, man, like he is, he is where he's supposed to be.
58:10.908 --> 58:14.716
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think he's still going to get these great interested.
58:14.957 --> 58:17.141
[SPEAKER_04]: You still see a ton of people out there eating.
58:17.161 --> 58:18.244
[SPEAKER_04]: People still want to eat.
58:18.605 --> 58:19.968
[SPEAKER_04]: People still want to run it back.
58:20.228 --> 58:21.090
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe not as many.
58:21.830 --> 58:26.614
[SPEAKER_04]: If there's 9,08725 when I run it back, okay?
58:26.634 --> 58:28.756
[SPEAKER_04]: And you got your 275 in the pocket.
58:28.776 --> 58:30.257
[SPEAKER_04]: We're like, woo, you know.
58:30.577 --> 58:34.080
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think he's just fine as of right now.
58:34.641 --> 58:36.923
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, we can reassess this in a month and see where he's at.
58:36.943 --> 58:39.365
[SPEAKER_04]: But as of right now, I think Jay is good.
58:39.385 --> 58:40.866
[SPEAKER_04]: He's established where he's at.
58:42.508 --> 58:43.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Great points.
58:44.109 --> 58:51.195
[SPEAKER_00]: We will reassess if it's a trend alert in a month.
58:51.378 --> 58:55.988
[SPEAKER_00]: 250 people eat and the other 500 sit down.
58:56.008 --> 58:57.993
[SPEAKER_00]: We might have to have a discussion.
58:58.574 --> 59:05.089
[SPEAKER_00]: If 6,000 people eat and 1,000 sit down, we're going to have to have a discussion about that, particularly as well.
59:05.530 --> 59:07.374
[SPEAKER_00]: If the numbers continue to swing.
59:08.517 --> 59:10.922
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
59:10.902 --> 59:29.215
[SPEAKER_00]: reset the copilot see what's going on here see what we can do to fix that but yeah we're going to reassess I kind of love that because we notice trends if it starts to happen we'll talk about it and we reassess it's a little there there right now is fully there we're going to see but
59:29.195 --> 59:32.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not the greatest performance from Jay on Saturday.
59:33.001 --> 59:35.987
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot defend it because it was not very good.
59:36.027 --> 59:37.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Punk tried his very best.
59:38.050 --> 59:38.791
[SPEAKER_00]: He did what he could.
59:39.092 --> 59:40.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to put that all on him either.
59:41.155 --> 59:43.820
[SPEAKER_00]: You do what you can with you have and it wasn't much.
59:44.141 --> 59:46.845
[SPEAKER_00]: But they did salvage things during the second half of that match.
59:46.885 --> 59:51.473
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say because the first half was definitely a struggle bus for sure.
59:51.453 --> 59:59.944
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we get to Monday night raw, I do want to talk about Saturday night's main event in terms of the presentation.
01:00:04.413 --> 01:00:06.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they need to stop relying on nostalgia.
01:00:06.697 --> 01:00:18.099
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do with this particular show because it feels outdated when they bring back Oh, it was from the 80s and the aesthetic and the music.
01:00:18.580 --> 01:00:26.775
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a disconnect with today's audience and I think they need to overhaul the presentation bring in more modern.
01:00:26.755 --> 01:00:28.778
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's one of the issues here.
01:00:29.179 --> 01:00:35.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was a great concept of a 40 plus years ago, and it was a time when television was completely different.
01:00:35.628 --> 01:00:40.716
[SPEAKER_00]: When you at 30 million people watching NBC, again, that right now, unless it's Sunday night football.
01:00:41.136 --> 01:00:45.242
[SPEAKER_00]: So essentially, you have to kind of rethink how you want to present this show.
01:00:45.282 --> 01:00:46.584
[SPEAKER_00]: Nostalgia is great.
01:00:46.724 --> 01:00:55.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think there is a disconnection with the presentation and the fans
01:00:55.898 --> 01:00:58.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't remember Saturday night's main event.
01:00:58.542 --> 01:01:03.008
[SPEAKER_00]: They weren't alive during the whole Kogan era of it all in B.C.
01:01:03.048 --> 01:01:04.230
[SPEAKER_00]: when it was a top draw.
01:01:04.570 --> 01:01:07.935
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of reconfigured the presentation of this brand.
01:01:08.376 --> 01:01:13.363
[SPEAKER_00]: If you choose to try it out a few times a year because now you're bump from NBC to peacock.
01:01:13.744 --> 01:01:17.569
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you got person who don't want to be there and a Saturday night well listen.
01:01:17.549 --> 01:01:28.921
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a mini PLA treated as such revamped the presentation, bring it to the year 2025 and not so much 19.85 with all due respect.
01:01:32.725 --> 01:01:36.549
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a peacock special.
01:01:36.569 --> 01:01:37.630
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it matters.
01:01:38.251 --> 01:01:45.278
[SPEAKER_03]: That means, you know,
01:01:45.933 --> 01:01:47.214
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't really notice it.
01:01:47.374 --> 01:01:50.217
[SPEAKER_04]: I kind of love some of the old school stuff.
01:01:50.257 --> 01:01:52.599
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the mics that they use.
01:01:52.839 --> 01:01:54.641
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, like I like the mics.
01:01:54.861 --> 01:02:00.686
[SPEAKER_04]: I like the music, I miss Jessie, but, you know, it is what it is.
01:02:01.386 --> 01:02:04.329
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, Jessie, if in a cage, imagine you can talk about it.
01:02:08.272 --> 01:02:08.332
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
01:02:08.352 --> 01:02:14.758
[SPEAKER_01]: We got no cage if I, you know, within the old school, in the old school,
01:02:14.890 --> 01:02:15.971
[SPEAKER_00]: I ain't there, man.
01:02:15.991 --> 01:02:16.572
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen.
01:02:17.073 --> 01:02:19.276
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Fernando circles back saying, I don't know.
01:02:19.296 --> 01:02:22.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand why they bought it back to begin with.
01:02:23.101 --> 01:02:26.746
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been resurrected so many times over the years before Fox.
01:02:26.766 --> 01:02:28.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say NBC dropped it.
01:02:28.829 --> 01:02:31.332
[SPEAKER_00]: They did do the poor ratings in the mid 2000s.
01:02:31.372 --> 01:02:32.093
[SPEAKER_00]: That is true.
01:02:32.113 --> 01:02:33.916
[SPEAKER_00]: They did try to bring it back.
01:02:33.996 --> 01:02:35.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the presentations dated.
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:36.960
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the mic.
01:02:37.160 --> 01:02:38.302
[SPEAKER_00]: I do love that.
01:02:38.362 --> 01:02:41.005
[SPEAKER_00]: They had to get the old square for refits out of there.
01:02:41.466 --> 01:02:42.147
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just
01:02:43.814 --> 01:02:54.625
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to kind of reassess what they want this to be, because up shortly, it could be a cool thing and notice on peacock because they wanted to get out of their dear early, but they got demoted because of that.
01:02:54.965 --> 01:02:57.728
[SPEAKER_00]: So now your specials are now on peacock versus NBC.
01:02:58.228 --> 01:02:59.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Just revamp it.
01:02:59.509 --> 01:03:03.854
[SPEAKER_00]: It was going to be a two-hour show, make a count for something and go from there.
01:03:04.214 --> 01:03:07.878
[SPEAKER_00]: And most importantly, be present for your goddamn show, Paul.
01:03:08.398 --> 01:03:09.519
[SPEAKER_00]: Be present for your show.
01:03:09.900 --> 01:03:13.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't take the night off.
01:03:13.463 --> 01:03:14.666
[SPEAKER_00]: show up.
01:03:14.686 --> 01:03:15.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Be present.
01:03:16.008 --> 01:03:17.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop being at the president's house.
01:03:18.073 --> 01:03:18.734
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop that.
01:03:19.135 --> 01:03:20.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Focus on your show.
01:03:20.638 --> 01:03:22.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let co-pilot run everything.
01:03:22.702 --> 01:03:22.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
01:03:22.983 --> 01:03:23.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
01:03:23.604 --> 01:03:24.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
01:03:26.851 --> 01:03:27.292
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
01:03:28.134 --> 01:03:28.454
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
01:03:28.875 --> 01:03:32.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's get to Monday night we're all going down live in.
01:03:33.022 --> 01:03:38.109
[SPEAKER_00]: New Mexico, a different venue for Monday night raw, smaller venue, but hot crowd.
01:03:38.550 --> 01:03:47.002
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they need to try that a little bit more often, get you some more energetic crowds off there, get them hype, get them into it, and make them care a bit.
01:03:47.523 --> 01:03:50.828
[SPEAKER_00]: One of my favorite segments from the show was as we alluded to earlier.
01:03:50.848 --> 01:03:55.474
[SPEAKER_00]: It was dirty, Dominic Mysterio, basically saying, I'm the greatest luchador of all time.
01:03:55.915 --> 01:04:01.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I am the King of the Luchadoris, I'm the greatest I see in Schupple, a mega champion ever.
01:04:01.523 --> 01:04:05.236
[SPEAKER_00]: no one can touch me, no one's on my level, then his daddy.
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:12.641
[SPEAKER_00]: Ray Mysterio comes out, he's back, looking good, and we had a great promo exchange.
01:04:12.701 --> 01:04:14.166
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like,
01:04:15.074 --> 01:04:28.654
[SPEAKER_00]: If this was two years ago, or even three years ago, Dirty Dom would be kind of green on the microphone, and he would say things that wouldn't be naturally healish, just kind of like a tri-hard.
01:04:29.175 --> 01:04:37.187
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he is so comfortable that he was riffing off the dome, telling Ray A, man.
01:04:37.227 --> 01:04:44.878
[SPEAKER_00]: You talking about great luchadors, like Blue Demon,
01:04:44.858 --> 01:05:03.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Eddie Guerrero and Santos like a keep keep keep my dad's name out of your mouth like that was a great line that popped the crowd then he caught out his dad's mustache trying to grow facial like me like off the dome stuff that a guy to a point where we had to kind of get the crowd back on his side.
01:05:03.860 --> 01:05:09.486
[SPEAKER_00]: because they were seeing a dirty Tom's name during the promo, Ray felt it down felt it.
01:05:09.867 --> 01:05:12.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Thankfully, you had fans like, no, this is Ray Mysterio.
01:05:12.710 --> 01:05:13.971
[SPEAKER_00]: We ain't doing this tonight.
01:05:14.332 --> 01:05:16.594
[SPEAKER_00]: We love Dom Wayne hijack in this segment.
01:05:16.614 --> 01:05:17.996
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got things back on track.
01:05:18.476 --> 01:05:21.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And Ray basically said, as long as I'm here, you ain't the king and nothing.
01:05:22.181 --> 01:05:26.465
[SPEAKER_00]: As long as I'm here, you ain't the best Mysterio in this family.
01:05:26.906 --> 01:05:33.293
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they went at it and then Ray dropped us on to 619 and tried to drop the dime and then
01:05:33.273 --> 01:05:35.637
[SPEAKER_00]: But I loved this segment so much.
01:05:36.258 --> 01:05:38.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Father and son have a great chemistry.
01:05:38.501 --> 01:05:41.666
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a fun talking segment is leading to a match apparently.
01:05:42.327 --> 01:06:01.997
[SPEAKER_00]: And if the direction is going to be John Cena versus Dirty Dominic Mysterio S. Obama series, you got basically two shows set it up in Boston and at Madison Square Garden in the next couple of weeks to make this match a reality, S. Obama series in San Diego.
01:06:02.551 --> 01:06:15.164
[SPEAKER_00]: you know that John Cena will try and succeed at hitting a six one nine on Dom.
01:06:17.667 --> 01:06:20.550
[SPEAKER_00]: So mighty confident at Dom's getting that match.
01:06:20.570 --> 01:06:20.951
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
01:06:21.151 --> 01:06:23.093
[SPEAKER_00]: I sound very confident.
01:06:23.233 --> 01:06:31.562
[SPEAKER_04]: I think
01:06:32.032 --> 01:06:35.096
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the 619 that I really want.
01:06:35.617 --> 01:06:37.059
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to drop the dime.
01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:39.722
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the springboard drop the dime.
01:06:40.503 --> 01:06:45.209
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the springboard centons.
01:06:45.229 --> 01:06:48.113
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the springboard crossbody.
01:06:48.934 --> 01:06:51.177
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the whole Luchio or repertoire.
01:06:51.677 --> 01:06:54.381
[SPEAKER_04]: I want them to walk the ropes like the parker.
01:06:55.002 --> 01:06:55.743
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the whole thing.
01:06:57.745 --> 01:07:01.330
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this segment was great.
01:07:01.580 --> 01:07:14.863
[SPEAKER_04]: Ray Mysterio and um obviously they have chemistry because their family, Amelia, um what what what can you ask for out of out of a segment with arguably
01:07:15.974 --> 01:07:26.512
[SPEAKER_04]: the person on your roster, they get one of the biggest reactions, a returning legend, setting up, I think a triple A mega championship match, which will be big for them.
01:07:26.552 --> 01:07:33.865
[SPEAKER_04]: And then if that is the match that Dom gets that Survivor Series, I would expect him to win.
01:07:34.823 --> 01:07:40.613
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's a big match for Dominic Mysterio and it's a big opportunity for him.
01:07:40.873 --> 01:07:44.038
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, big big year for Dominic Mysterio in 2025.
01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:46.042
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a big year.
01:07:46.142 --> 01:07:47.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a big turning point for him.
01:07:47.845 --> 01:07:49.448
[SPEAKER_00]: The fans want to cheer him.
01:07:49.488 --> 01:08:00.426
[SPEAKER_00]: That segment, as I said, could have went in a number of directions, because you had people singing his name and Ray was like, okay, y'all like I'm out here.
01:08:00.406 --> 01:08:01.888
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supposed to be the baby face.
01:08:02.049 --> 01:08:05.454
[SPEAKER_00]: It was safe if I people were blowing it down because I was like not tonight, guys.
01:08:05.874 --> 01:08:06.936
[SPEAKER_00]: The same thing I had to do that.
01:08:07.357 --> 01:08:13.466
[SPEAKER_00]: But that swell is there for a dirty dumb to be a baby face heading into next year.
01:08:13.687 --> 01:08:15.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a license to print money.
01:08:15.309 --> 01:08:20.758
[SPEAKER_00]: You hear his contemporaries, his co-workers, speak very highly of him.
01:08:20.818 --> 01:08:29.451
[SPEAKER_00]: They see it, Cody Rose tried it to my 15 years listen.
01:08:29.431 --> 01:08:30.672
[SPEAKER_00]: when he finally gets it.
01:08:31.073 --> 01:08:31.613
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, no, no, no.
01:08:31.973 --> 01:08:33.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, now is the time.
01:08:33.335 --> 01:08:40.281
[SPEAKER_00]: In the next two to three years, he's got to be like one of your focal main eventors on WWE television.
01:08:40.341 --> 01:08:47.748
[SPEAKER_00]: The vision is right there, best of real vision and actuality of what he can be for them as a top star in WWE.
01:08:48.148 --> 01:08:58.898
[SPEAKER_00]: I will also say this
01:08:59.772 --> 01:09:03.379
[SPEAKER_00]: Dirty Dombs hair on Monday was phenomenal.
01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:06.224
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the sheen was, the conditioner.
01:09:06.264 --> 01:09:15.581
[SPEAKER_00]: That hair was a look joyously, shimmery, shiny, and just very, very luscious on Monday.
01:09:19.548 --> 01:09:19.908
[SPEAKER_04]: Great.
01:09:20.129 --> 01:09:21.932
[SPEAKER_04]: Go tell them the call, Pantene.
01:09:22.655 --> 01:09:25.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, get that sponsorship bag.
01:09:25.719 --> 01:09:29.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, he could be a panteen per commercial right now.
01:09:30.125 --> 01:09:37.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that hair was just moisturized, down, pressed, down.
01:09:38.076 --> 01:09:40.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Have more moisture than Logan's hair?
01:09:41.261 --> 01:09:41.701
[SPEAKER_00]: I said it.
01:09:43.444 --> 01:09:49.472
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, Dom AJ Styles and Nathan Frazier can all have a nice panteen commercial.
01:09:49.604 --> 01:09:51.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, get that panty bag.
01:09:52.489 --> 01:09:54.232
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that, real absolutely.
01:09:54.853 --> 01:09:56.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:09:56.395 --> 01:10:02.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando, one of those some shade, a scene, a scene has no lift to do a 619.
01:10:02.586 --> 01:10:04.889
[SPEAKER_00]: He will find the lift Fernando for one night.
01:10:05.170 --> 01:10:13.063
[SPEAKER_00]: He will find the spirit of the of the luchadora and do what he needs to do to at least hit a 319.
01:10:15.659 --> 01:10:18.863
[SPEAKER_04]: He'll hit a 309, do it at the bottom rope.
01:10:20.645 --> 01:10:38.646
[SPEAKER_00]: All righty, all righty, then another highlight of Monday, Matt Raw was the Kabuki Warriors versus Bailey and Lara Vakiria, very fun to act, he matches well, went through a couple of segments, says, well, and then what I noticed about this match was the fact that Oscar,
01:10:38.626 --> 01:10:43.057
[SPEAKER_00]: didn't really go after Bailey physically in this match.
01:10:43.498 --> 01:10:51.318
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of distance, and we want to know why that was happening as Lyra ate the loss, unfortunately.
01:10:51.759 --> 01:10:54.205
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was more about Bailey,
01:10:54.185 --> 01:10:57.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And Oscar not really going at it.
01:10:57.410 --> 01:10:58.391
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a story there.
01:10:58.411 --> 01:11:02.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Even Laura mentioned it last week that the Kabukah warriors didn't attack you.
01:11:02.478 --> 01:11:03.719
[SPEAKER_00]: They went after me.
01:11:03.739 --> 01:11:07.385
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a story there as to why they're pulling off on Bailey a bit.
01:11:07.766 --> 01:11:09.007
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see where it goes.
01:11:09.067 --> 01:11:14.656
[SPEAKER_00]: Then of course, when they try to beat down Bailey and Lara post match, Charlotte and Alexa make the save.
01:11:14.696 --> 01:11:16.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Leeds to a women's
01:11:16.038 --> 01:11:21.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Tech team championship match next week between Charlotte and Alexa versus Oscar and Kyrie.
01:11:22.409 --> 01:11:28.800
[SPEAKER_00]: That should mean event Monday night Raw and I think that is when the title changes hands.
01:11:32.286 --> 01:11:34.350
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Bailey.
01:11:35.191 --> 01:11:40.018
[SPEAKER_04]: damage control 2.0 except Oscar would be the headhunter and that one.
01:11:41.140 --> 01:11:43.364
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, that could be interesting.
01:11:44.225 --> 01:11:48.331
[SPEAKER_04]: Or it could be just, you know, smoke just to just throw everyone off.
01:11:48.351 --> 01:11:51.056
[SPEAKER_04]: But I like that they have a story.
01:11:51.937 --> 01:12:03.595
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't involve detail, but the titles are a part of the story, not the main
01:12:03.575 --> 01:12:08.340
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the women on Raw are cooking right now, like let's let's keep it a book.
01:12:08.441 --> 01:12:12.285
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've done a really good job with the women's stories for the most part on Monday night.
01:12:12.305 --> 01:12:20.714
[SPEAKER_04]: Raw, um, keeping all the women involved, they've, they got the dad going raw women's champion wrestling on TV like what the hell is going on.
01:12:21.095 --> 01:12:30.105
[SPEAKER_04]: So I got, I, I can't say anything but good things about what they've done with the raw women's roster so far.
01:12:30.625 --> 01:12:40.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the women's roster from Monday Night Raw has been stacked, telling multiple stories, the women's tag team division.
01:12:42.961 --> 01:12:44.462
[SPEAKER_00]: We pray for times like this.
01:12:45.203 --> 01:12:46.104
[SPEAKER_00]: We pray for it.
01:12:46.905 --> 01:12:50.088
[SPEAKER_00]: This titles were like nothing for the longest time.
01:12:50.128 --> 01:12:51.730
[SPEAKER_00]: And now they mean something.
01:12:51.750 --> 01:12:52.851
[SPEAKER_00]: You have teams.
01:12:53.211 --> 01:12:54.372
[SPEAKER_00]: You have stories.
01:12:54.412 --> 01:12:56.034
[SPEAKER_00]: You have some layers to it.
01:12:56.334 --> 01:12:57.596
[SPEAKER_00]: And it means something.
01:12:57.616 --> 01:13:01.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact you have multiple storylines, not surrounding the main championship.
01:13:01.900 --> 01:13:06.745
[SPEAKER_00]: Back you'll launch the icy women's champion, still putting over Maxine, Dupri and Promo's.
01:13:07.285 --> 01:13:10.048
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the book of warriors being
01:13:10.028 --> 01:13:15.075
[SPEAKER_00]: quite possibly the best vaccine coming up now, winning the title's next.
01:13:15.496 --> 01:13:22.006
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Stephanie Vicarre and Nikki Bella, this side story and Nikki is going to demolish Stephanie imminently.
01:13:22.046 --> 01:13:23.708
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a nice side story too.
01:13:24.049 --> 01:13:27.073
[SPEAKER_00]: You got the judgment day getting wins on Nikki Bella.
01:13:27.494 --> 01:13:28.956
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got that going on.
01:13:29.016 --> 01:13:38.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Rear Ripley, the Oscar of an off television, but you notice how the division is still pretty damn good because they know how to book it.
01:13:38.530 --> 01:13:48.423
[SPEAKER_00]: You got something going on right now, but it shows you what can be done and how the women's division on this show has carried Monday night raw really all year long.
01:13:51.107 --> 01:13:56.013
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't smack that doesn't don't have the women to do with raw stewing.
01:13:56.254 --> 01:13:58.176
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't they don't have the debt.
01:13:58.377 --> 01:14:04.164
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't have the debt and they don't have the star power to do what they're doing on Monday night raw.
01:14:04.765 --> 01:14:08.470
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, if you take Charlotte and Alexa out, both shows
01:14:09.631 --> 01:14:11.534
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a huge hit to smack down.
01:14:12.455 --> 01:14:15.039
[SPEAKER_04]: It's my inner hit to Monday night raw.
01:14:15.881 --> 01:14:17.824
[SPEAKER_04]: Yo, you won't even notice it next week.
01:14:18.184 --> 01:14:21.089
[SPEAKER_04]: Smack down, you're gonna be like, God, Lee, can we get Charlotte and Alexa coming out here?
01:14:21.109 --> 01:14:21.790
[SPEAKER_04]: What's going on?
01:14:22.030 --> 01:14:22.752
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's out here?
01:14:22.832 --> 01:14:23.252
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's here?
01:14:23.753 --> 01:14:32.567
[SPEAKER_04]: So, smack, again, I think the thing that is being highlighted, more than anything,
01:14:32.783 --> 01:14:41.793
[SPEAKER_04]: is the debt and what each roster looks like and how raw is just so stacked compared to SmackDown right now.
01:14:42.854 --> 01:14:46.659
[SPEAKER_00]: SmackDown, like it's given, we don't sci-fi.
01:14:47.940 --> 01:14:49.202
[SPEAKER_00]: This test was given right now.
01:14:49.222 --> 01:14:54.247
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't sci-fi if it was taped and nobody cares.
01:14:54.508 --> 01:14:56.690
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of where it's at in terms of priority.
01:14:57.131 --> 01:14:57.891
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not great.
01:14:58.312 --> 01:15:02.757
[SPEAKER_04]: What about the start tape and on Tuesdays again?
01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:06.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh Lord, and they start taping on Tuesday.
01:15:06.844 --> 01:15:07.906
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just gonna air it on Friday.
01:15:07.946 --> 01:15:12.692
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's the end of times, officially to backslide to that degree.
01:15:13.333 --> 01:15:14.254
[SPEAKER_00]: But we shall see.
01:15:14.294 --> 01:15:21.584
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's get to our main event angle of the show, which was CM Punk and main event, who's so being back on the same page.
01:15:22.145 --> 01:15:31.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay wanted to fight alongside CM Punk, Paul Hamid trying to plant seeds of doubt, and it was against a bronze bronze breaker and bronze and read.
01:15:31.441 --> 01:15:35.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Why should I analyze the match in it just via count out?
01:15:35.146 --> 01:15:44.378
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to analyze the blow for blow account when they just into the match abruptly don't care about that and then early in the show see a pocket did this really long promo segment.
01:15:44.739 --> 01:15:49.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically saying hey, I want to thank a lot of people for this championship victory.
01:15:49.465 --> 01:15:54.732
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm calling out people who want to shot at this championship one of your fighting champion and.
01:15:54.847 --> 01:16:04.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we get someone to come out there by the name of Logan Paul and his dry hair and Sam punk is like, God, why are you here?
01:16:04.285 --> 01:16:06.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Like of all the people I right here.
01:16:07.912 --> 01:16:08.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's dry.
01:16:08.874 --> 01:16:13.783
[SPEAKER_00]: It's
01:16:17.307 --> 01:16:19.271
[SPEAKER_00]: drier than the Sahara desert.
01:16:19.611 --> 01:16:21.976
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what dry is here was, okay?
01:16:21.996 --> 01:16:22.617
[SPEAKER_00]: He's right.
01:16:22.637 --> 01:16:24.040
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs a spray bottle.
01:16:24.060 --> 01:16:30.372
[SPEAKER_00]: Spray bottle of moisturizer, leave it conditioner, shampoo, water, dry.
01:16:30.973 --> 01:16:32.015
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you have dry here?
01:16:32.035 --> 01:16:32.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that?
01:16:32.416 --> 01:16:33.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Just despicable.
01:16:33.558 --> 01:16:34.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Dry.
01:16:35.245 --> 01:16:47.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, hey, that's what it was, tumble weed hair just dry coming out there and seeing a punk like me was offended he's out there and then Paul Hamis is getting the back of the line this saying sure fight the same shoe.
01:16:48.008 --> 01:16:53.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I have two gunners right here, bronze next champ up, get in the back of the line.
01:16:53.438 --> 01:16:54.520
[SPEAKER_00]: So they beat up.
01:16:55.107 --> 01:16:59.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Paul, at some point during the show, tsunami him.
01:16:59.692 --> 01:17:04.958
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, I know y'all ain't teasing a baby face, Charon, him, please.
01:17:05.478 --> 01:17:08.401
[SPEAKER_00]: So thankfully, the order was righted.
01:17:08.982 --> 01:17:10.564
[SPEAKER_00]: But then again, you think about this.
01:17:12.426 --> 01:17:19.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Paul comes out there with some brass nucks, lays out Sam punk, looks a Paul Hayman.
01:17:20.935 --> 01:17:24.979
[SPEAKER_00]: You tellin' me, he's a part of the vision,
01:17:26.157 --> 01:17:26.618
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:26.638 --> 01:17:27.559
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:27.579 --> 01:17:27.800
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:27.860 --> 01:17:29.082
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:30.164 --> 01:17:30.324
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:17:30.765 --> 01:17:36.415
[SPEAKER_00]: It really speaks to how much they also miss Seth Rollins, because really.
01:17:36.795 --> 01:17:44.689
[SPEAKER_00]: And then how I think and how they think less of awesome theory, because if this was a spot, damn they gave it to Logan Paul, damn.
01:17:49.124 --> 01:17:51.767
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Logan Paul with Paul Hayman is a great idea.
01:17:51.827 --> 01:17:56.932
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, God, I think it's a great idea.
01:17:56.972 --> 01:18:01.778
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it works on so many different levels.
01:18:02.118 --> 01:18:03.760
[SPEAKER_04]: So many different levels.
01:18:05.362 --> 01:18:07.304
[SPEAKER_03]: He is everything seeing upon Hates.
01:18:07.864 --> 01:18:09.706
[SPEAKER_03]: So of course, Paul Hayman would want him.
01:18:10.587 --> 01:18:17.815
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, secondly, who better to turn brawn breaker than Logan Paul?
01:18:18.436 --> 01:18:21.380
[SPEAKER_04]: Who better for Braun Burger to be like, you know what?
01:18:21.721 --> 01:18:23.303
[SPEAKER_04]: I am sick and tired of this.
01:18:24.184 --> 01:18:26.227
[SPEAKER_04]: And then for a minute to be Logan Paul.
01:18:26.868 --> 01:18:34.238
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I think he is the perfect substitute for Seth Rollins.
01:18:34.539 --> 01:18:35.500
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's not the leader.
01:18:35.540 --> 01:18:36.942
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not the leader.
01:18:37.583 --> 01:18:40.627
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just the most annoying face of that group.
01:18:41.028 --> 01:18:42.971
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I think it's great.
01:18:43.251 --> 01:18:44.713
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what?
01:18:44.896 --> 01:19:12.490
[SPEAKER_04]: someone's been hitting the gym because he doesn't look out of place beside bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and bra and
01:19:12.807 --> 01:19:14.832
[SPEAKER_04]: would be our great combination.
01:19:16.015 --> 01:19:23.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Paul to extract some charisma out of him, just something.
01:19:23.658 --> 01:19:25.381
[SPEAKER_00]: because he's dull on the mic.
01:19:25.762 --> 01:19:35.382
[SPEAKER_00]: If he can extract something out of him that includes shampoo, that will make me happy because I just need to load something extra.
01:19:35.783 --> 01:19:41.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Bron, I pray, who Bron talked about is the Bron Praker, is the Bron's breed.
01:19:41.995 --> 01:19:45.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I need one of my Bron Bron's to demolish this man.
01:19:45.342 --> 01:19:54.461
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Braun to whip his ass real soon and then that'll make him even more beloved as a baby face by accident.
01:19:54.882 --> 01:19:59.652
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, as Fernando suggested, this is for war games.
01:19:59.872 --> 01:20:01.596
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe that
01:20:01.913 --> 01:20:04.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul has never been in a war game slogan Paul.
01:20:04.437 --> 01:20:06.660
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that he would be great in this element.
01:20:06.940 --> 01:20:12.488
[SPEAKER_00]: He can fall out of the top of the cage You some crazy shit go out there ball out of the baseball stadium.
01:20:12.849 --> 01:20:26.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Do what you must up for the love of the game just get you some shampoo As for conditioner okay and a pump a pump yes
01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:27.222
[SPEAKER_00]: a perm.
01:20:27.242 --> 01:20:31.237
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think I don't think he should do that he needs a perm.
01:20:31.317 --> 01:20:36.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, that hair is struggling a flat iron won't help he needs a perm.
01:20:38.026 --> 01:20:45.360
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, be first of all, white people don't use flat irons because that would just hear their hair average.
01:20:45.380 --> 01:20:51.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, first of all, listen, just a fried up, get a hot comb.
01:20:53.156 --> 01:20:57.264
[SPEAKER_04]: It is going to, it is as he is combing, it is going to be combing his hair out.
01:20:57.284 --> 01:21:00.490
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be bald by the time he finishes his hair and I'll build for that.
01:21:00.790 --> 01:21:09.923
[SPEAKER_00]: You listen, as Fernando said, he needs a Jericho girl, gives him so glow, you know, get this activator, get some Duke listen.
01:21:09.943 --> 01:21:11.425
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to help this man out.
01:21:11.445 --> 01:21:22.301
[SPEAKER_00]: This hair offense to me, Scott, you got this hair that should be more strized with some lotion and some cream, it is dry, dry.
01:21:23.262 --> 01:21:26.267
[SPEAKER_00]: He should be ashamed of himself, a shame, a shame.
01:21:26.507 --> 01:21:30.072
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to hit the book, shot, Larry, and you're here looking like that, get out of here.
01:21:30.541 --> 01:21:34.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.
01:21:34.025 --> 01:21:37.991
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, all right, this is a, I ain't mad if that's what it takes.
01:21:38.351 --> 01:21:46.682
[SPEAKER_04]: So my, my, my question is if this is for war games is what was Logan Paul the replacement or was this always the plan?
01:21:46.742 --> 01:21:51.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Because replacement dude, listen, they hit the emergency button, replacement.
01:21:53.130 --> 01:21:53.491
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
01:21:55.213 --> 01:21:57.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Down and down and down and down and down and down.
01:21:57.035 --> 01:21:58.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Very spotten they said no.
01:21:59.887 --> 01:22:10.325
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I think the dynamic of him, of Paul Ham and calling Logan Paul, and being like, yo, come join this group and set me in like, yo, what the hell are you doing?
01:22:10.345 --> 01:22:14.072
[SPEAKER_04]: It would have been absolutely incredible.
01:22:15.234 --> 01:22:24.831
[SPEAKER_04]: And in Logan Paul, being undermining this entire thing and trying to take over the group from the inside the whole time, would have been a great subplot, so I don't know.
01:22:25.553 --> 01:22:31.551
[SPEAKER_04]: I, I, I met I didn't think about Logan Paul and Paul Hamon together from the beginning because I think that's just such a great pair.
01:22:33.798 --> 01:22:37.690
[SPEAKER_00]: We need Paul to work a miracle to get some out of them.
01:22:37.906 --> 01:22:42.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Because right now, like me and give it to me personality wise, but we'll see what the two polys do.
01:22:42.853 --> 01:22:43.974
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got the two polys.
01:22:44.395 --> 01:22:45.676
[SPEAKER_00]: We have the two bronze bronze.
01:22:46.117 --> 01:22:49.341
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see what we get heading into Survivor Series war games.
01:22:49.862 --> 01:22:52.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Who else is going to be on the team to be determined?
01:22:52.045 --> 01:22:55.289
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see about that, but we'll see.
01:22:55.329 --> 01:22:57.552
[SPEAKER_00]: We have four weeks to build to the...
01:22:57.532 --> 01:23:09.004
[SPEAKER_00]: card were games should be exciting times indeed overall a very good episode of Monday night roll off in a hot crowd, small a crowd, but a hot crowd run amidst size arenas WWE.
01:23:09.024 --> 01:23:10.266
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the young money hungry.
01:23:10.626 --> 01:23:13.489
[SPEAKER_00]: He want to run these big arenas in need to do that.
01:23:13.849 --> 01:23:15.491
[SPEAKER_00]: David best line of the night.
01:23:15.691 --> 01:23:17.553
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to relax or yes he does.
01:23:18.014 --> 01:23:18.394
[SPEAKER_00]: He does.
01:23:19.075 --> 01:23:19.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Does.
01:23:19.916 --> 01:23:20.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Perm.
01:23:21.137 --> 01:23:21.738
[SPEAKER_00]: Just get one.
01:23:22.038 --> 01:23:23.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one
01:23:24.262 --> 01:23:40.924
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one, it's one parent man, you're just some curls, you know, you know, I tell you this, if he gets Beyonce's sacred, he will see a difference in his hair in at least three weeks, the difference to 21 days is he's the more she's up in now.
01:23:42.626 --> 01:23:47.873
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, if by survivor series of his hair looks completely different, you know what he did.
01:23:48.140 --> 01:23:48.963
[SPEAKER_00]: He went to take it.
01:23:49.385 --> 01:23:54.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Went to the website, got him some conditioner, and some moisturizer, hair curling up all of a sudden.
01:23:54.768 --> 01:23:57.238
[SPEAKER_05]: Come on.
01:23:58.062 --> 01:24:00.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando makes another boat prediction.
01:24:00.465 --> 01:24:06.092
[SPEAKER_00]: He thinks that Chad Gable is coming back to train Maxine.
01:24:06.773 --> 01:24:10.717
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be a full circle moment because Chad, you ain't getting back at Grunde, man.
01:24:10.818 --> 01:24:15.764
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gone, he's just gone, it's done.
01:24:15.804 --> 01:24:19.328
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, I'm ready for my Chad Gable baby face term.
01:24:20.455 --> 01:24:21.677
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that would be good way to turn them.
01:24:22.038 --> 01:24:24.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I need my gunner back, man.
01:24:24.321 --> 01:24:30.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I just need him to do back out there, Russell and his baby face, who he's meant to be, a damn baby face, getting over.
01:24:31.313 --> 01:24:33.557
[SPEAKER_00]: And also give me Ely, a dragon over his shadow.
01:24:33.577 --> 01:24:35.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that would be awesome.
01:24:36.322 --> 01:24:36.923
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll love that.
01:24:37.203 --> 01:24:37.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Run that.
01:24:38.165 --> 01:24:41.811
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so ever so brief, Liz, diving to some NXT talk from last night.
01:24:42.472 --> 01:24:46.699
[SPEAKER_00]: A decent show by NXT standards today.
01:24:46.679 --> 01:25:00.592
[SPEAKER_00]: I will let Scott have the floor for the debut of Kalani's Corner with Scruffy Salti, Scott Young.
01:25:01.293 --> 01:25:02.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, take it away.
01:25:05.557 --> 01:25:16.247
[SPEAKER_04]: There are certain moments in people's lives where they're given an opportunity to
01:25:17.020 --> 01:25:44.057
[SPEAKER_04]: to really let the world in, to give them a deeper look, to give them a better understanding of who you are, what your motivations are, and why.
01:25:45.050 --> 01:26:09.899
[SPEAKER_04]: And I came away fulfilled, I came away complete because now I am 100% sure in what I had thought before and that personality was when she's not wrestling, she brings absolutely nothing to the table, absolutely nothing to the table.
01:26:12.182 --> 01:26:14.044
[SPEAKER_04]: One of the worst promos I think I've ever heard.
01:26:15.222 --> 01:26:16.003
[SPEAKER_04]: from a world chain.
01:26:16.543 --> 01:26:19.125
[SPEAKER_04]: This was Jack Swagger Bad when he had to hat backwards.
01:26:21.327 --> 01:26:25.631
[SPEAKER_04]: This was Michael McGill a cutty bad on NXT.
01:26:26.952 --> 01:26:31.376
[SPEAKER_04]: This was one of the worst things I've ever heard.
01:26:33.878 --> 01:26:36.040
[SPEAKER_04]: She tried to compare herself to Dominic Mysterio.
01:26:36.601 --> 01:26:38.522
[SPEAKER_04]: She tried to compare herself to Cody Rhodes.
01:26:40.944 --> 01:26:45.128
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know who
01:26:45.597 --> 01:26:55.689
[SPEAKER_04]: or why, and then when she came out for her match, she decides to do her little powder toss and then rub her title with powder.
01:26:57.871 --> 01:27:01.155
[SPEAKER_04]: He he he he I'm just baffled at the thing she does.
01:27:01.175 --> 01:27:14.811
[SPEAKER_04]: I the the face she makes and we got a big Joseph over here talking about oh she she made the dark turn like first of all she's done this before okay it didn't work out.
01:27:15.533 --> 01:27:21.481
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to again, I just, I can't do it with Kalani.
01:27:21.882 --> 01:27:24.646
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, I, I can't do it.
01:27:25.487 --> 01:27:28.291
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she is one of the worst wrestlers in WWE.
01:27:29.092 --> 01:27:39.247
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, and I know she's not, but her personality and her talking is so bad to me, that I, I, I just, I can't do it with her.
01:27:39.727 --> 01:27:44.494
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't, I can't do it.
01:27:45.875 --> 01:27:47.277
[SPEAKER_00]: And what a corner it was.
01:27:47.297 --> 01:27:49.060
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched her segment.
01:27:50.181 --> 01:27:51.684
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, this is a big test.
01:27:52.324 --> 01:27:57.392
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your moment to go out there, present yourself as a heal, cut the promo of your life.
01:27:58.113 --> 01:27:59.074
[SPEAKER_00]: And she went out there.
01:27:59.135 --> 01:28:02.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was not good at all.
01:28:02.519 --> 01:28:07.647
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminded me of why I hated
01:28:08.352 --> 01:28:17.408
[SPEAKER_00]: hated, hated, Josh Briggs's promo a couple of months ago, just try hard stuff.
01:28:19.872 --> 01:28:23.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Kalani, she's a talented wrestler.
01:28:24.420 --> 01:28:29.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the world affirming terms of the potential she has as a wrestler.
01:28:30.210 --> 01:28:32.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Character needs a lot of work.
01:28:33.293 --> 01:28:35.977
[SPEAKER_00]: God have find out that voice.
01:28:37.058 --> 01:28:37.679
[SPEAKER_00]: What is it?
01:28:38.140 --> 01:28:38.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is it?
01:28:39.201 --> 01:28:40.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Who you're meant to be?
01:28:40.443 --> 01:28:51.118
[SPEAKER_00]: And time, it can come to you with practice, with repetition, because we've seen people come through the other side of this better.
01:28:51.158 --> 01:28:53.481
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that's the case for her.
01:28:54.102 --> 01:28:57.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Now what I will say is that which came out there,
01:28:59.450 --> 01:29:00.853
[SPEAKER_00]: She reminded me of somebody.
01:29:01.494 --> 01:29:01.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
01:29:02.496 --> 01:29:03.939
[SPEAKER_00]: She reminded me of somebody.
01:29:03.979 --> 01:29:13.437
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, if Cardi B had a sister, I literally stopped.
01:29:13.457 --> 01:29:13.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha.
01:29:13.658 --> 01:29:20.351
[SPEAKER_00]: If Cardi B had a long loss sister somewhere, it would be Kalani, at least in terms of features.
01:29:20.832 --> 01:29:21.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:29:22.248 --> 01:29:38.829
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Cardi B will clear her in a promo exchange, but in terms of, like, you know, look, I say, is that Cardi B out there, but she got Cardi B's personality, charisma swag, none of that, just zero charisma in terms of being a heal unfortunately.
01:29:39.470 --> 01:29:46.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's got a little bit more Maya enter than a. Yeah, yeah, but even Maya, now Maya's come on.
01:29:47.543 --> 01:30:06.661
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, my, my, my, my, my is top tier, my, yes, you know, it's, you know, cheddar biscuits, cheddar biscuits, cheddar biscuits, you, you just said, cheddar biscuits, we, we talk of recipes franchises, but she walks in, everybody got a lead no matter who's in there.
01:30:06.741 --> 01:30:08.404
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess the type of time she's on.
01:30:08.384 --> 01:30:09.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are you kidding me?
01:30:10.607 --> 01:30:14.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, look at you being a monster like shit down the way you brought recipes.
01:30:14.852 --> 01:30:15.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're okay.
01:30:15.653 --> 01:30:16.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I see you.
01:30:16.834 --> 01:30:19.437
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I love I'm back in the day, man.
01:30:19.457 --> 01:30:21.580
[SPEAKER_04]: You tell you, I ain't going to hold you.
01:30:21.620 --> 01:30:25.304
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I see a little bit more of my as far as the features go.
01:30:25.444 --> 01:30:29.409
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like a nice mix of my and cardi.
01:30:30.330 --> 01:30:31.351
[SPEAKER_00]: A nice mix of that.
01:30:31.371 --> 01:30:32.873
[SPEAKER_00]: I just noticed that tonight.
01:30:32.933 --> 01:30:37.699
[SPEAKER_04]: It was like okay off the beach.
01:30:38.219 --> 01:30:49.842
[SPEAKER_00]: if she was a nice gentler sister, of course she would be carty, but like in terms of like bite, sweat, charisma, skills and kind of promote like no, carty at her beat all day every day.
01:30:50.383 --> 01:30:50.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Period.
01:30:51.425 --> 01:30:52.026
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
01:30:53.508 --> 01:30:54.870
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that promo was a lot.
01:30:55.030 --> 01:30:56.872
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd was very unkind.
01:30:57.813 --> 01:30:58.714
[SPEAKER_00]: She made it through, though.
01:30:58.814 --> 01:31:01.037
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate the fact, she didn't get rattled.
01:31:01.057 --> 01:31:03.680
[SPEAKER_00]: She powered through, she survived.
01:31:04.060 --> 01:31:08.666
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is a sign that you can do more her if you just try a little bit harder.
01:31:09.507 --> 01:31:11.850
[SPEAKER_00]: And Fernando did good.
01:31:12.530 --> 01:31:13.592
[SPEAKER_00]: She did a good job.
01:31:13.632 --> 01:31:15.134
[SPEAKER_00]: She's just really bad.
01:31:15.174 --> 01:31:18.578
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:31:18.598 --> 01:31:23.143
[SPEAKER_00]: That Fernando, we're going to freeze this comment.
01:31:23.444 --> 01:31:25.066
[SPEAKER_00]: from a year for now, okay?
01:31:26.147 --> 01:31:31.374
[SPEAKER_00]: You said that she can be the female Dominic Mysterio in time.
01:31:31.394 --> 01:31:35.379
[SPEAKER_00]: If she's now listen, we do have the wrap awards coming up.
01:31:35.900 --> 01:31:41.347
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do have several contenders for our Vaughn Wagner award, okay?
01:31:41.627 --> 01:31:43.209
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is a two-way award.
01:31:43.510 --> 01:31:48.456
[SPEAKER_00]: You can win it for improving, or you can win it for when you are right now and hoping for the best.
01:31:48.655 --> 01:31:56.601
[SPEAKER_00]: But if she can pull that off for Nando, if she can get to very dumb levels of good, okay?
01:31:58.849 --> 01:32:00.454
[SPEAKER_04]: She got to do hard time first.
01:32:01.362 --> 01:32:02.263
[SPEAKER_00]: She had to get locked up.
01:32:02.563 --> 01:32:03.284
[SPEAKER_04]: She had to get arrested.
01:32:03.364 --> 01:32:05.266
[SPEAKER_04]: That's your first time to get locked up.
01:32:06.106 --> 01:32:07.908
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you can kill somebody.
01:32:07.928 --> 01:32:10.390
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's she's got to do the murder of somebody.
01:32:11.071 --> 01:32:12.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so get away with it.
01:32:12.392 --> 01:32:19.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, if you throw a body somewhere at like a river in Orlando, like that'll get you created immediately, you know.
01:32:19.678 --> 01:32:20.759
[SPEAKER_00]: But I get you in the family.
01:32:20.880 --> 01:32:21.180
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
01:32:21.260 --> 01:32:22.141
[SPEAKER_00]: I get a title shot.
01:32:22.801 --> 01:32:31.369
[SPEAKER_00]: You might very well if she could find what's left of the heritage cup, she might, you know.
01:32:31.349 --> 01:32:33.212
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just going to work on it.
01:32:33.232 --> 01:32:34.474
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to work on it.
01:32:34.494 --> 01:32:37.258
[SPEAKER_00]: And David, what happens to Ivy now?
01:32:37.418 --> 01:32:38.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Shads hurt.
01:32:39.481 --> 01:32:40.563
[SPEAKER_00]: She's off television.
01:32:40.683 --> 01:32:41.845
[SPEAKER_00]: So is the creed brothers.
01:32:42.126 --> 01:32:44.169
[SPEAKER_00]: They just rest in right now on main event.
01:32:44.730 --> 01:32:45.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Just chilling.
01:32:45.991 --> 01:32:46.953
[SPEAKER_04]: She got her hair done.
01:32:47.013 --> 01:32:48.295
[SPEAKER_04]: It takes some time off.
01:32:48.460 --> 01:32:54.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine that girl had a whole new fresh do and she can bring it to television?
01:32:54.994 --> 01:33:05.777
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just a bullshit bullshit went to the salon and got a whole blowout and you can't even show it on television ridiculous damn shame.
01:33:06.567 --> 01:33:24.695
[SPEAKER_00]: damn shame that is, but another one of my favorite segments of the night was our favorite aesthetically beautiful couple who is not a couple, all ego-eathened page and Chelsea Greene having the championship celebration interrupted by Joe Hendry.
01:33:25.275 --> 01:33:35.511
[SPEAKER_00]: And he introduces his new mixed acting partner, Thea Hale, who comes out of a cake and she pie faces all ego and Chelsea.
01:33:35.761 --> 01:33:43.517
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that people saw FIA Hill wants any violence, oh, hell, no, like just no, we're not demoting her to evolve.
01:33:43.817 --> 01:33:45.921
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not in the key to Lions for God's sakes.
01:33:46.282 --> 01:33:53.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So walk a HBK did a 180, he pulled an executive action and said, no, let's get the aback of the next team.
01:33:53.176 --> 01:33:58.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank God, because actually her and Joendry are gold together.
01:33:58.225 --> 01:33:59.487
[SPEAKER_00]: They start gold here.
01:33:59.547 --> 01:34:08.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know what it is within XT, but they have found a way to make odd couples just click in the best possible way.
01:34:09.985 --> 01:34:10.867
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this worked really well.
01:34:10.907 --> 01:34:15.355
[SPEAKER_04]: Fun segment Ethan and Chelsea work really well.
01:34:15.876 --> 01:34:16.737
[SPEAKER_04]: And then
01:34:17.172 --> 01:34:19.515
[SPEAKER_04]: Joe, I didn't know who he was coming out with.
01:34:19.555 --> 01:34:24.963
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought I would just be another wrestler, but her being the one in the cake, that was nice touch.
01:34:25.043 --> 01:34:26.765
[SPEAKER_04]: I did all worked really well.
01:34:26.865 --> 01:34:27.987
[SPEAKER_04]: She fits really well.
01:34:28.067 --> 01:34:36.018
[SPEAKER_04]: She's got the same type of excited energy and the faces when they turn into the big smile and stuff.
01:34:36.038 --> 01:34:42.927
[SPEAKER_04]: Like they're both spot-on, like it's, and now, so from now on, we gotta worry about two people popping out.
01:34:43.548 --> 01:34:46.352
[SPEAKER_03]: So now you don't know who's popping out where?
01:34:46.484 --> 01:34:47.546
[SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
01:34:47.566 --> 01:34:49.190
[SPEAKER_03]: So now we get to stay her name.
01:34:49.550 --> 01:34:50.753
[SPEAKER_03]: She has a theme song.
01:34:50.933 --> 01:34:51.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
01:34:51.975 --> 01:34:55.443
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe in the, are you kidding me?
01:34:55.463 --> 01:34:56.505
[SPEAKER_01]: It's perfect.
01:34:56.545 --> 01:34:57.006
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it is.
01:34:57.066 --> 01:34:57.667
[SPEAKER_01]: It's perfect.
01:34:57.908 --> 01:34:59.170
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything about it's great.
01:34:59.250 --> 01:35:00.493
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've.
01:35:00.980 --> 01:35:09.978
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think the tripalach, the tripalach, as Chelsea called him, I think those fans were probably like joining them pretty easily too.
01:35:10.559 --> 01:35:11.340
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's great.
01:35:11.441 --> 01:35:11.841
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
01:35:11.861 --> 01:35:13.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Chelsea's great, man.
01:35:13.324 --> 01:35:14.727
[SPEAKER_00]: All he goes, he's great too.
01:35:14.747 --> 01:35:19.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, let's just admire the pretty that is them together.
01:35:19.597 --> 01:35:22.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, just just,
01:35:22.546 --> 01:35:29.338
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it was just whatever Walker HPK did like he just ordained a great on-screen pairing.
01:35:29.738 --> 01:35:33.385
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I just think he dumbied his way into Thea and Joe.
01:35:34.146 --> 01:35:39.255
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that one segment backstage when she just randomly was walking backstage, there's like I see something.
01:35:39.235 --> 01:35:43.320
[SPEAKER_00]: and sure enough, like there's something there, there is like this cute pairing.
01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:49.908
[SPEAKER_00]: And what's cool is that you can package these people up and move them to the main roster to fill some space for God.
01:35:49.928 --> 01:35:52.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Six, those Lord knows, SmackDown needs to help.
01:35:54.473 --> 01:36:01.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And speaking of help, the opening match of NXT, really good opener, liked it a lot.
01:36:02.388 --> 01:36:16.049
[SPEAKER_00]: Chasey Jane, that's finished, they're rolling on core, is becoming one of my favorite finishers in WWE, because of its impact, it's sudden impact, and how you get this knocks somebody out, just like that in the match, really good stuff.
01:36:16.389 --> 01:36:20.896
[SPEAKER_00]: And we also held, we need them and everybody that was in that match on SmackDown too.
01:36:21.157 --> 01:36:22.940
[SPEAKER_00]: This is ridiculous.
01:36:22.960 --> 01:36:26.505
[SPEAKER_00]: The depth is there to help SmackDown if you move people up.
01:36:28.358 --> 01:36:31.722
[SPEAKER_04]: I, well, I don't, I don't think that work as well.
01:36:31.742 --> 01:36:39.911
[SPEAKER_04]: If you move them all up, uh, I don't, like, I think Lola, I think Lola would do really well on SmackDown, fatal influence.
01:36:40.512 --> 01:36:42.974
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not as sold on them as a unit.
01:36:43.014 --> 01:36:44.897
[SPEAKER_04]: They're coming up under somebody.
01:36:45.397 --> 01:36:49.682
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a different, but then as a unit by themselves, I'm not sold.
01:36:49.982 --> 01:36:54.147
[SPEAKER_04]: Lola, I think I think Lola's going to be, I think she's the one.
01:36:54.802 --> 01:36:58.689
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's the one that we're going to look back on to be like, yeah, she's got it.
01:36:59.470 --> 01:37:05.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Lola's moving up for Damian because you need somebody to help him with Zalina in Alex.
01:37:05.080 --> 01:37:05.661
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
01:37:05.681 --> 01:37:06.001
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
01:37:06.222 --> 01:37:07.023
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
01:37:07.344 --> 01:37:16.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe that for fatal influence, your idea of Nikki Bella fronting them is a great idea.
01:37:17.397 --> 01:37:19.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I am buying it on J.C.
01:37:20.824 --> 01:37:22.968
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm buying it on the stock a bit more.
01:37:23.830 --> 01:37:25.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I like fouling a lot too.
01:37:25.974 --> 01:37:27.697
[SPEAKER_00]: They're the chick-a-d. Eh!
01:37:28.258 --> 01:37:29.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Knees some more time.
01:37:29.501 --> 01:37:29.981
[SPEAKER_00]: Chick-a-d?
01:37:30.382 --> 01:37:32.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're the chick-a-d. Laney.
01:37:33.689 --> 01:37:34.530
[SPEAKER_00]: I need more time.
01:37:34.871 --> 01:37:35.713
[SPEAKER_00]: I need more time.
01:37:35.733 --> 01:37:37.195
[SPEAKER_00]: I need more time.
01:37:37.236 --> 01:37:39.540
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't do gray, but she's okay.
01:37:39.520 --> 01:37:46.791
[SPEAKER_00]: She, she, I, I, I'm buying in on J.C. stock to be somebody on the main roster.
01:37:47.673 --> 01:37:49.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Fallen, I like her a lot too.
01:37:49.836 --> 01:37:52.520
[SPEAKER_00]: If you get Nikki in that group, it's elevated.
01:37:52.760 --> 01:37:53.942
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like your idea.
01:37:53.962 --> 01:37:55.825
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I truly do.
01:37:56.446 --> 01:38:15.147
[SPEAKER_04]: You could drop the other girl like, and again, just bring up Jc and foul, and I think that you could just have them as a trio if you want, but yeah, there's no point in Nick like I don't think you need Nicky wrestling every week and she needs and they need them to can do all that so, but I don't know if they'll do that and if they do, you need to move Nicky to
01:38:15.380 --> 01:38:18.263
[SPEAKER_04]: Max, I agree with you, smack down these to help more than raw those.
01:38:18.543 --> 01:38:21.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they do absolutely infinite of his would you ever make it?
01:38:21.366 --> 01:38:22.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she will.
01:38:22.648 --> 01:38:24.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she's a bit cheaper.
01:38:24.470 --> 01:38:25.050
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll be on there.
01:38:25.070 --> 01:38:28.414
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she is in an next year's life for for the last four years.
01:38:29.375 --> 01:38:30.156
[SPEAKER_00]: It's time.
01:38:30.416 --> 01:38:31.197
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's time.
01:38:31.477 --> 01:38:36.122
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think that she needed this run as champion to really test the waters to see what she can do.
01:38:36.142 --> 01:38:38.805
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought she passed the test.
01:38:38.785 --> 01:38:40.547
[SPEAKER_00]: She did what she was supposed to do.
01:38:40.967 --> 01:38:42.689
[SPEAKER_00]: She had really good championship matches.
01:38:43.149 --> 01:38:44.330
[SPEAKER_00]: She elevated her stock.
01:38:44.630 --> 01:38:46.232
[SPEAKER_00]: She is very good in the ring.
01:38:46.572 --> 01:38:47.633
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I care about.
01:38:47.713 --> 01:38:49.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Personality sticks out to in a good way.
01:38:50.716 --> 01:38:52.517
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the trick run as a heel.
01:38:53.118 --> 01:38:56.481
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great test to see what you can do on the main roster.
01:38:56.881 --> 01:38:58.022
[SPEAKER_00]: He's passed the test.
01:38:58.603 --> 01:39:00.525
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll move up whenever the time comes.
01:39:01.325 --> 01:39:08.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfectly on SmackDown because as we said, they need all the help they can get right now.
01:39:08.772 --> 01:39:11.115
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's it.
01:39:11.136 --> 01:39:11.676
[SPEAKER_00]: All righty.
01:39:13.038 --> 01:39:19.448
[SPEAKER_00]: And with that, it is now time for us to reveal our match of the week across a lot of shows.
01:39:19.929 --> 01:39:25.417
[SPEAKER_00]: You can be watching Monday night raw, smack down, main event if you're geoblocked.
01:39:25.797 --> 01:39:28.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're tuning in to evolve and see what's going on there.
01:39:29.583 --> 01:39:38.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott, I know that you take this also seriously and you won't pick any of these matches
01:39:39.333 --> 01:39:41.616
[SPEAKER_04]: No, this week, I think I will.
01:39:41.736 --> 01:39:47.944
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna go with the Nathan Frazier, either the Dragon Off match, really enjoyed that.
01:39:48.705 --> 01:39:58.057
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the, the worst show WWE puts out every week continues to have one of the highlights of all the wrestling shows.
01:39:58.077 --> 01:40:06.608
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm gonna give him, I'm gonna give him their flowers this week and I'm gonna let Tony Khan rest because he's having a hard time sweating with the new rating system.
01:40:06.628 --> 01:40:07.990
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm gonna let him go this week.
01:40:08.273 --> 01:40:23.903
[SPEAKER_00]: looking at you being a merciful man, showing grace in this time and being honest in your match of the week, which I agree with as well, I'll lead Dragon Oversus, Nathan Fraser for the United States Championship, shout out to both guys, putting on a show.
01:40:23.883 --> 01:40:34.256
[SPEAKER_00]: In China, wake up a sleepy Salt Lake City crowd on Halloween shout out to you guys and with that that is a wrap for this week's episode of the wrap right here on the fake media network YouTube channel.
01:40:34.296 --> 01:40:36.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining us as we talk all things.
01:40:36.960 --> 01:40:40.424
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE as a road to survive with series work games continues.
01:40:40.804 --> 01:40:45.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to thank my cocapped and sought you Scott young for joining me to discuss all things.
01:40:46.131 --> 01:40:53.080
[SPEAKER_04]: WWE.
01:40:53.684 --> 01:40:57.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Look forward to the week that we got coming up with WWE next week.
01:40:57.711 --> 01:40:59.535
[SPEAKER_04]: We got the, you know, a couple of weeks.
01:40:59.555 --> 01:41:00.536
[SPEAKER_04]: We got the goal rush.
01:41:00.917 --> 01:41:03.943
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a big week next week with trick and that last man standing.
01:41:05.285 --> 01:41:06.187
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm putting my money on trick.
01:41:06.207 --> 01:41:08.270
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, tricks when it's back.
01:41:08.791 --> 01:41:09.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
01:41:09.653 --> 01:41:11.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I have him not winning.
01:41:11.096 --> 01:41:16.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't finally being promoted to the main roster because Laura knows SmackDown.
01:41:16.325 --> 01:41:17.447
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still.
01:41:17.984 --> 01:41:24.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I need trick versus dragon off as well, run it back again on the main roster and then open challenge.
01:41:24.959 --> 01:41:26.983
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just trying to manifest good things as well.
01:41:27.464 --> 01:41:36.043
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we are approaching our final two John scene appearances on Monday night raw.
01:41:36.023 --> 01:41:58.217
[SPEAKER_00]: the garden and the garden back to back to the garden and Boston this Monday, Madison Square Garden the next week and in YC and we have the last time is now tournament starting next week to find out who were on the right to face John Cena and his last match on Saturday night's main event on Saturday, December 13th, from our nation's capital.
01:41:58.197 --> 01:42:08.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Washington, D.C. First round matchups are going down this Monday on Monday, Night Raw and matches include Roosev versus Damian Priest and a sleeper match.
01:42:09.273 --> 01:42:12.738
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe shame is versus Shinsuke Nakamura.
01:42:14.741 --> 01:42:16.003
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, both of those should be good.
01:42:16.043 --> 01:42:18.166
[SPEAKER_04]: Termants enter us thing.
01:42:18.546 --> 01:42:19.247
[SPEAKER_04]: I got thoughts on that.
01:42:19.267 --> 01:42:20.429
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk about it next week, though.
01:42:20.910 --> 01:42:21.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
01:42:21.731 --> 01:42:23.474
[SPEAKER_00]: And then one more question for the road.
01:42:23.814 --> 01:42:27.259
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernando says should trick and
01:42:28.977 --> 01:42:29.658
[SPEAKER_04]: Not right now.
01:42:29.898 --> 01:42:37.407
[SPEAKER_04]: No, yeah, but I think it definitely happened in a future actually actually I can see trick coming back to save me, although after Miz beats him up a couple more times.
01:42:38.088 --> 01:42:40.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, possibly maybe definitely.
01:42:40.150 --> 01:42:41.332
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see where it goes.
01:42:41.872 --> 01:42:44.636
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at you showing restraint on the Miz this week.
01:42:44.896 --> 01:42:45.657
[UNKNOWN]: Thankfully.
01:42:46.478 --> 01:42:47.179
[UNKNOWN]: Thankfully.
01:42:48.300 --> 01:42:49.341
[SPEAKER_04]: I just had to mention them though.
01:42:50.102 --> 01:42:54.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, at least you didn't go on and on and on about as great as so.
01:42:56.315 --> 01:43:00.750
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, everybody already knows the two-time grand slam champion and stuff like that, so I don't know.
01:43:00.770 --> 01:43:01.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's touch your mic off.
01:43:01.874 --> 01:43:05.025
