0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope everyone had a good New Year's even New

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Year's Day. In Christmas. We did. We win. Uh, we

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>could talk a little New Year's before we get into

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>men slamming men and women slamming women and intergender matches

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that I don't like. I went to Hawaii for the holidays,

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Land of the Rock, that's right, Dwayne the Rock Johnson,

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you got you got to feel like what it's like

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to be in the bloodline by zip line, that's right,

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that's right. I stayed with the Samoan family. They took

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>me in and I got some sick tattoos the old

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>way or they just think they hammer a little like

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>needle into my arm. They did my whole arm, wrist

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to shoulder. We ate POI. I don't know if you've

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>ever had boy, it's it's pretty good. But once you

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>have it more than one way, you pretty much had it.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>We had it a lot. Did you get the Samoan tattooed?

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Does it say I'm in the bloodline? Respect to Sammy Zane?

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>What is your tattoo say? They wrote it in Samoan,

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>so hopefully they told me the truth. But it reads

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>young warrior, So they thought I was young. They thought

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I was young. Well compared to the earth, you're young. Yeah,

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, you know, compared to King Kama, compared to

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the volcanoes of Earth, you know, I didn't. I didn't

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 1>do anything. We stayed in a super nice hotel, uh,

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>spoiled ourselves, rotten ate like eight like Royalty. We have

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>two friends that live out there already, and so we

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 1>went to visit them as well. I had Christmas with

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>them and UH and New Year's with them, so it

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>was great. How was your holiday, sir? Holidays weren't that

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>great because Southwest canceled the flights, so I didn't get

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>to go anywhere, stuck at home by myself. But New

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Year's was great because I got to go to Cleveland.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>So I don't mean to laugh. It was terrible, I

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>said at the I said, at the airport in Burbank

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>from like ten am to UH to midnight, just for

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>them to cancel the flight. And I was like, all right,

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm gonna go home out. So that happened.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>But New Year's New Year's was awesome. I had a

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>bunch of shows in Cleveland and we we uh, we

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>had we had really fun time in Cleveland was awesome.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland rocks man, Yeah, it was fun. Jeff you made

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a prediction in like our second or third episode, and

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>everyone thought I was joking, And everyone thought you were joking.

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>And it was the biggest news in wrestling, not your opinion,

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>but the news itself, which was Vince McMahon was forced out.

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And Jeff, tell the people what you said. I said

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the h that he's coming back. There's just no chance

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>that he can stay not in wrestling. And not only

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>did it happen, it's happened pretty fast. Well, he did

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>not take that much time off. And I said he

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>was gonna come back in the Royal Rumble, which I'm

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>still hoping for. That no chance, and he just starts

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>running on. He wins. If he's like the third the

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>number comes out, hits, the ring blows out both the

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>squads again, it still goes over. Um, yeah, you called this.

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I honestly thought he might just stay away and say,

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>let me just live the rest of my life. But

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>other people have said it before. He's gonna die and

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Gorilla and he's and the show is gonna go on,

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and uh, that may be what happens. Some people are

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a little afraid he's gonna come back to creative. Um.

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Other people are saying that's not gonna happen. He's just

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>there for the sale. What do you think, Brosky, I

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>don't you know Vince McMahon personally. Do you think he's

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>capable of not getting his little fingers on the Creative?

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I I can't see a world where he where he doesn't.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Neither can I? Yeah, it's just zero chance that like

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and also like, how how does chance? How piste off?

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Must everyone be that he's back, like like in the

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>locker room and all that, like it's all back. I'm

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>sure he has his crew that they can take care

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>of themselves, and he trusts them with their own creative

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>for the most part. So I'm sure there's a small

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>handful of people that are, you know, welcome him, welcoming

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>him back with open arms. But I would say the

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>vast majority of talent there's probably freaked out at worst

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and nervous at best, right because if he does come

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>back to Creative, that means storylines are going to die

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that day. And pretty much everyone I think who has

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>been rehired since they were released under under Hunter's uh

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>current reign right now, as as as the boss, I

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>think those people are probably going through it. The most.

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they're going through a ton of emotions. He

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>hated me before let me go, He's gonna hate me

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>now he's gonna let me you know what I mean.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>People who had storylines are probably nervous. They're gonna go

0:05:55.520 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>away from People came back just because, h yeah they did.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>They feel like I feel like, well, I came back

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>because Triple ages in charge. And now it's been two

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>months and and or however long it's been. Uh, it

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>better have been a little bit longer. If if it

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>was only two months, it feels like just two months.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we were just talking about it. We're just

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>going out. Can you believe Vice is gone? This is crazy,

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>like as longer than two months. But it's just it's

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>humorous that that's how short it's been. Yeah, man, I

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I'm surprised, but I really am surprised.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I won't be surprised if he goes back and starts

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>running Creative and we're not. We're not a rumor podcast.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>That's just not what we do here. You know. We

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>just tell our opinions and celebrate wrestling of all kinds.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>We're not good at it, but there's a. There's a

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>rumor that our producers has sent over via text, but

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Nick con allegedly has a deal with Vince McMahon to

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>sell w w E. I would say, I mean, that's

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the story of the Wall Street Journal was insinuating.

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So I don't I don't. I don't know if that

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>stays in the world of rumors. I mean they're somewhat reputable.

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess I don't know all the other fake stories

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and real stories because I don't read it well. When

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the article says alleged in the headline, I've got to

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>say category. I mean, I feel like he only comes

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>back for one of two reasons, to either sell it

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>or to take over and run it. And I don't

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>think he can feasibly take over and run it, So

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it has to be he's coming in, he's

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna sell the company, and wherever the pieces fall, the

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>pieces fall. But it's gonna it's gonna end with him.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Can Triple h afford to buy wrestling? What if he

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>buys wrestling? No, no way, Man, It's gonna sell for

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at least in my billion, at least two billion dollars.

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope Elon Musk buys it, and he makes all

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the wrestlers you know, electric. You know, I don't know

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>what Ellen does really, I don't know. Maybe he'll make

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>them all. He's gonna make it. He's gonna make an

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>make them digital. I don't. I don't know how there

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is solar powered. Yeah, it'll be an f t I don't.

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know smart stuff. Listen if elon mus but

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the wrestlers are powered by the wind. It'll be cool,

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, it'll be a better version. I'm sure. Let's

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>talk some real wrestling, more fantasy promotor bookie someone and

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.240

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>comes out and he's there to to talk to everybody

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and and and but mainly Sammy because that's who his

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 1>problems with him. You can see that he cares about

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>him and Sammy and and the Bloodline are like f

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you Kevin Owens, and he's like, wellf me, no, f you,

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>and then he's gonna go and fight. And then Adam

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Pierce comes down and he's like, nobody's hafing anybody, and

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to keep it cool. And security comes in,

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>but security has got nothing for Solo Sakoa. He just

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>handles all of the security and the rest of the

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>bloodline doesn't even have to do anything. By the way,

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>you have to all these arenas. You need to employ

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>more credible security staffs, ones that formulate strategy. Let's all

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>go in at the same time. I think if we might,

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 1>if we go in one at a time, he's going

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to have a major advantage, Like you have to have

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>one dude on the team that thinks like that if

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be a security company for one of these arenas,

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 1>because these guys did not have that individual and they

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>got taxed. And so Kevin Owens is like, well, security

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>can't protect the people in this arena from the madness,

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>then I'm going to protect him. So if you again,

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't matter that Adam doesn't want anybody f

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and anybody he goes in, he fights, he's getting beat down.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Then all the wrestlers come out. They're like, yeah, security

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>can't do nothing. We're all coming out now. You know,

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the wrestlers all came in the ring at the same time.

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>They didn't do that one at a time. Royal Rumble

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Security entrance bs. They got in and they started whipping. Asked,

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>now the Bloodlines trying to run away and get away.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Adam Pierce, who tried to throw them out of the

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>arena earlier, now he doesn't want to matter. He says, no, no, no, no,

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>You're not going anywhere. You wanted to f everybody. Well,

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>now everybody's gonna f you, and I'm setting up a

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>bunch of f and matches tonight. And that's right. And

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>so that set up the show for Monday and Arrow.

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a chaotic segment, but they brought it in

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>nice and it felt it felt okay to me. I

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>thought I was gonna hate it because when like they

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>did it with the Nexus back in the day, it's uh.

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>And when they did it with the Shield, I guess

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it was No, that was cool with the shield. I'm

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>just crapping on it, um. But yeah, this I thought

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>was pretty cool. And I dug the segment. Man, how

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>do you feel about all that f and around. Well,

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I will say the security thing one one thing. It

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>must feel weird to be a real security guard at

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>one of these stadiums, because you know, you're looking at

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>him going, hey, aren't you gonna help, Like it seems

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>like there's a melee here like this good and he's

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>like no, no, no, no, we're just real security. We

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>just kind of watch you guys. So there's like that

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>must be a weird separation of fake security and real

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 1>security trying to make sense of everything. Ums like eyeballing

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 1>each other from across. It feels real. I don't know

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's fake enough. Um, I could be real. I

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>could I could get in there. I do think that. Um,

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>whenever they do these kind of like takeover things, it's

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>always confusing from my brain because it's like I don't

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>really see Raw and SmackDown as two separate shows. I

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>just see him as like w W you know. To me,

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just this is just the Monday show and this one.

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So when they're like we're coming for you, Smacked and

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this feels like civil war or so it

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>feels like strange, like friendly fire is happening. We used

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.839
<v Speaker 1>to say that in the production meeting all the time,

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>like every young I wasn't I was young ish then,

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>but like all the young rides in the production meeting

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>two vents, like in front of they go nobody, we

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>don't look at it like it's all wrestling. We don't

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>like I'd be like, yeah, second that, and all the

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>old guys would be like it's like like it's not,

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 1>it's it's each one's a brand on two weeks old,

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and you have to fight for your brand, whether it's

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 1>really or blue. And I'm like, nobody does that except you. Also,

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>they're like we shuffle up raw and SmackDown so often.

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 1>We shuffle up those wrestlers so often. Yeah, they're attacking

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.679
<v Speaker 1>guys that they used to be like tag partners with

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>just a couple of years ago. Like they're like you

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>know now they're all of a sudden enemies for some reason. Yeah,

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>your team ran, I'll punch you right in the face

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and it would be like a um. They'll be like

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 1>we're coming and we're coming to destroy this thing, and

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>they're like it's just like when um W c W

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>was invaded by w W with the with the wolf

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Pack and Huld Coogan. It's like it's totally different because

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>this is the same stock, the same brand, the same whatever. Anyways,

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like if Scott Hall invaded Kevin Nash.

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what it was like. You know, its like

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it went no together. Did they have a fight we

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't know about because I haven't confused. Like, but that

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>being said, because they do this kind of thing so often,

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>like over the last like twenty years, I do like

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>it. It It feels classic, it feels cool. The fact that

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>they just opened the show and is already chaos happening

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>is kind of cool. Um So I did like I

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>did like the opening was fun and I'm like, um also,

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>am I crazy? But I've never seen or I am

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>not very familiar with Adam Pierce. How long has he

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.199
<v Speaker 1>been in that position? He's been in the gym position

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>for a while. He uhould be a wrestler. Um but

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>then like like me, got older, um man, he's good

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on the mic man. He had like one little flub

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>that he corrected. How many how many times has he

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>been on camera on camera? Bunch dude for over an

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>over a I was I couldn't make it about him.

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>They kept saying his name, and then when they cut

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to him, like, oh, I know him, but like they

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>kept when they were saying his name, was like, who

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the hell Adam Pierce. I was thinking it was another wrestler.

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>He plays it pretty normal and subtle, not real character.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like one of the few guys that's like not

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a wrestler who on the mic comes off like they're

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>just doing their normal thing. I actually I like him

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>out there, and I think he does a good job. Yeah,

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>one little club. I thought he saved it and made

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>sure that the line was clear. He even repeated it.

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's a good save. Respect. So yeah,

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I like Adam. He's doing a good job with that.

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll be there a long time. We had

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a championship match between Bianca and Alexa. I told my

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>daughter before the match, Alexa will lose, and she'll lose

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 1>because she'll turn to the dark side and become crazy.

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>And Charlotte goes, what that that's stupid, and then that's

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>trusted the lesson and trusting dad. But I I'll let's

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>skip that match. I want to go right to a

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>match that I think you actually loved, which was a

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>lie versus solo, and I think it was like a

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Memphis music instrument street fight match, and these guys beat

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 1>each other and beat each other up with guitars. He

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>smashed him and oh, let's see that drum set right there.

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah, by home, smash your face and that

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>f and drum set. You want to see that piano

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>right there. I'm gonna do this, the spinning samoan drop

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>bah blah blah. I'm smash you right on that f

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and piano. They hit each other with us, so you

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>see this symbol bam right on your f and head.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And they went back and forth with every instrument. So

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 1>this truck driver get name hard. He gets in the

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 1>ring calling big hard. That's what That's what me and

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the boys call it. And uh, he grabs a guitar

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>like the hockey talk man before him, and he spams

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>smashes that guitar right on solo. Soko is back and

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>so just knows. So it's like f your chair shot.

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>He saw little musician, bitch, here's some art, go back

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to school. Yeah, it just stares at him. And this

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>dude isn't out of He's not in shape enough to

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>get down quickly and get out of the ring. He

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>has to like slowly not stumble and fall to get

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>out of the ring, and he didn't want to look

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>like a punk, so he's trying to like laugh it up.

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>But then like you can see Solo like looking at him, like, dude,

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>if you don't get out of this ring, is gonna

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>get real. And then he's like, okay, I'm gonna just

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>collapse and rolled out of the ring. What And then

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he ends the match by choke slamming him on or

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>someone spiking him onto the stupid piano. Ye, he choked

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>slammed him out of the ring onto a piano that

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>seemed like a real piano to It wasn't like a

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>fake piano. They did right. It wasn't even gimmick. Just

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the legs were so he gets and then the legs

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>fall out and then he just hits super hard. I

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know who came up with this match, but I

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>imagine it was one of these underpaid, underappreciated writers for

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>w B, Like, Hey, guitar centers having a sale, let's

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>just go buy all these instruments. That's what I didn't

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.159
<v Speaker 1>get about that country guy coming in the ring. The

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 1>spot made no sense that he comes in, No one cheers,

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's going, who's that? And then he hits him with

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the guitar and nobody cared. Even the restlers go, why

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:21.199
<v Speaker 1>why did you hit me with this? Nobody didn't. He

0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.239
<v Speaker 1>just looks at him and the guy's like, you know,

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>just this one guy hitting another guy with a guitar.

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Joe, who is this guy? Looks like my

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 1>male man? Bro, Like, who the hell is going on?

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 1>He didn't sell it or anything. I was amazing. Still

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 1>no security over the wall, Still no security. There's still

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>no security there for this going on. Really teaching these

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>guys you can just get in there and break a

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>break an instrument over a wrestler if you'd like. Bro,

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I hated this match so much that I loved it.

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>It's actually my best of the week for being so

0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 1>freaking horrible. I there were so we're actually cool. Like

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>when he smashed him in the drums. That was stupid,

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but it made me laugh, but like the symbols great.

0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>When he tried to jump off the top rope Elias

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>with the broken guitar and he's gonna like hit him

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>with the just the neck of it. Is it called

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the neck, I don't know. Instruments, no neck of the guitar,

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the goose, whatever it is. He he swings it down

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and then wock. It's a thumb right to his throat

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.879
<v Speaker 1>and he just done those. But so there are parts

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that I dug. But this was what's that guy got

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in the ring? I'm like, what? Who? Who is this guy? Like?

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 1>He looks like a substitute Jim Teacher? What is going

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 1>on right now? So we don't need to get into

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the matches too much on this. And I know we've

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>side quested and and talked a lot of smack, but

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the main event was well, no, let's here. There's one

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.719
<v Speaker 1>match that we should talk about, Austin Theory versus Seth Rawlins,

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>which should be my best of the week. Uh, Sadly

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 1>it is not because something awful is and uh, these guys,

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I just feel like Seth Rollins

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>is like Brian Danielson, right, it doesn't matter who he

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:15.639
<v Speaker 1>wrestles of the time, he makes them look amazing and

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>he makes himself look amazing. At the same time. They

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 1>set this match up a little with him in a

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>backstage segment and that energy that he has that. Yeah,

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that works better in the middle of a ring with

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>people all around you than it does backstage. So I

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even that hyped to see the match, Like, oh man,

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 1>that's they should have let him out. So I know

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to keep time short, give people time for matches,

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 1>but just either have him piste off that he doesn't

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>have the belt right now, or just lose that and

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.479
<v Speaker 1>let theory try to get over backstage. Right So then

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 1>they get out there and the match starts and it

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>felt like they wrestled for thirty minutes. Bro like it

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.920
<v Speaker 1>was crazy. It was crazy, and I loved it. I

0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>loved the false finishes, I love the back and fourth

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of it. I loved every single thing about this match.

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like I said, it should be my match or

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.400
<v Speaker 1>my best of the week, but the Music City Disaster

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 1>is my is my favorite of this week. Let's go

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to a E W Dynamite Sir Ricky freaking starts versus

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Chris Jericho. Dude, Seattle, your homestead. I'm just gonna say this,

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna let you take over because it's your hometown.

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 1>This crowd was so freaking height and so good and

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 1>so strong all night long. I love this match. The

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>crowd was a big part of it because the guy

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>started working off of them, and my guy, Ricky Starks

0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta win. He took a beating afterwards, but he gotta win.

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about the match, and just tell me about

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Seattle a little bit, dude, because this crowd was awesome.

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how Seattle gets the reputation of being

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the the loudest audience or the loudest I don't know

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>how a group of people could have such a reputation,

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.640
<v Speaker 1>but it is a Seattle thing. They used to say,

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>like the Kingdom was the loudest stadium in baseball, and

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 1>then they said that's probably because it's in a dome

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and so all the all the sound is trapped in there.

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.120
<v Speaker 1>But it turns out it isn't. It turns out it's

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>just loud Pacific Northwest people. Because we built the it

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:37.719
<v Speaker 1>was Seahawks Stadium, then it was lumen Field, quest Field, this, this, this.

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 1>The stadiums had a millionaires, but it's for the Seahawks

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 1>and it's open air, and we're known as the loudest crowd.

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we have the record for the loudest decibels

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.680
<v Speaker 1>all this different stuff. Also, they called the twelfth Man

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 1>because we're so loud that we affect the football games.

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And in um One of the longest booings in wrestling

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>history was in Seattle because Elias came out and made

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of Seattle Super Sonics jokes about us losing

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the basketball team, and the crowd crowd bowed Alias so

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>long that it was like a record. There was a

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't it was so loud and I'm not and

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Alias really milked and he was smiling like he loved it,

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and it it was if you look it up on YouTube,

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>must have been eating it up. I can't wait to watch.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty sweet. And it's also like so hometown pride,

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm like, yes, just blew the heck out of

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 1>this guy. But they were in it all night last.

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>They bowed um m JF a lot like like he

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.679
<v Speaker 1>got like they really give him the business. So they

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:33.880
<v Speaker 1>were a huge part of this match as well. I

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>love this match. I love Chris Jericho. I'm learning to

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 1>love Ricky Starks. I'm I'm a new Ricky Starks guy

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.199
<v Speaker 1>because of this podcast and You and You and Big Album.

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Basically convincing me to him too. Yeah, he just got

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.120
<v Speaker 1>hip to him this year. But what I'm confused about

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 1>is not confused. I'm surprised about is that he beat Jericho.

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 1>The match was good, the match was fun and the

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and like you said, it was very hype. He pinned

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>him clean. He pinned Jericho and that dude that came

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 1>out with the chair leader with the burn up face.

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>He let that kid get a win on get a

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.680
<v Speaker 1>win over on him like two or three weeks ago. Man,

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Jericho is down to let you shine if he believes

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>in you. He just can't. He can't get everyone at once, right,

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So he tries to get the like the mid card

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>guys over by joining the Jericho Appreciation Society. And then

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the guys that he goes against are the guys he

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 1>thinks could be a top guy or have potential to

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>be a top guy. Let's see what he's got, let's

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.400
<v Speaker 1>build him up, and I'm willing to lose. So when

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>you see him do it to someone who's coming in

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 1>on their first match, like a R No, not it

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a r It was action and Ratti or something

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like that. And then you see him do it to

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.199
<v Speaker 1>someone like Ricky who's in his thirties. He looks like

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>he's in his twenties, but Ricky's older in his thirties,

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and you're just like, dude, you'll put anyone over so

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.439
<v Speaker 1>long as you believe in it. Doesn't matter what anyone

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 1>else thinks. If you believe in him, you're like, hey,

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 1>let's give this guy shot, Let's see what happens. And

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 1>he does it all the time. I don't think it

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>gets talked about enough. And it's a business of selfishness.

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So it sounds corny to say it's a selfless thing

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>for him to do, Like it's almost cringe e in

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the wrestling world, but it's that's what it is. Man Like,

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>at this age in his career, he should be doing that,

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think a lot of people would. And

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that's why I believe it's commendable. Yeah, he's awesome. I'm

0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>a big, big fan of the way he treats wrestling,

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in the way he respects wrestling, in the way he

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>like handles himself and his career. He's he's he's awesome. Also,

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll be on his boat cruise week the week in February.

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be at the Jericho Jericho Cruise. If you

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.679

<v Speaker 1>so if they let me, if they give me any

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 1>any if he even like suggested for a second, I'm

0:24:56.800 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm gonna do it. I know Jericho. What I

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 1>text Jericho, tell him T say, my boy, Jeff Die

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be on that you should come to the

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>cruise with us. I can't go on freaking cruise or

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 1>be trapped on a boat. Hell to know you want

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to find out my worst phobia? No, hell no. If

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know everybody on the boat, I'm not getting

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>on the boat because then I'm what if I don't

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>like someone and then I'm stuck with them and there's

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>no way out we have to fight. I would get

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in so many pins. It is interesting in the ring end.

0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 1>To be stuck on on the boat is fascinating because

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like you're like, it's like it'd be like living

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>with your fans for a week, like just together. I

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I'm look. I

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 1>love my family. I would die for my children. I

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>would lie in court under oath as a god fearing man.

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I would break that oath. I would lie and tell

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 1>him no, my my wife was with me. She did

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>not kill that person. I have no issue doing it.

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>But dude, I need alone time, like and that's and

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.919
<v Speaker 1>that means the majority of the day is leave Freddy

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the f alone. If you need something, I'm there for you.

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>But if you're just gonna text me, like, hey, the

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>middle of the burrito was hot, but the outsides were cold.

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you think that. It's like, I'm gonna jump

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 1>out of window on the first text, on the first text.

0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And Sarah learned that early back in the day when

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>we had these things called rims, and they were like

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:32.479
<v Speaker 1>text pagers that you could send messages to each other

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:36.719
<v Speaker 1>in the nineties, but you could send like full novels.

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 1>So every girl who got it, that's all their main

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 1>got were the novels where it's like the guy once

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>were like, yeah, okay, seven thirty sushi. It's like it's

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>all one word answers. And then my wife would send

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.199
<v Speaker 1>one and I wrote her one time I said, I

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't read any of this, and any others that are

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>this long, I will not read either. And I sent

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it and it lets you know when they were read,

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and so it would pop up and it's you know,

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>it's got the check. Next I think it's a check

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>or had the letter R and nothing. For like two hours,

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 1>she was she was dealing with your dealing with it.

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 1>She's going on, this is the guy was like, oh shit,

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.479
<v Speaker 1>did I just mess this up? Do I hate him?

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Do I love him? At least he was honest. But

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of a dick move, like she had

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to go through all those emotions and it took her

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>two hours before she wrote back, I hear you, and

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that was it. I was like, there you go. You

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 1>set a boundary. You set a boundary. That's that. That's good. Anyways, Yeah,

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.719
<v Speaker 1>you would have been together one years, man, not like

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 1>with the cruise. Um, but I'm gonna love the cruise.

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>You will. And you do well with with people, you

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>do well with strangers. You have to go on the

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:45.119
<v Speaker 1>road and talk to strangers. I don't think you like

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Darby Allen versus Samoa Joe, so if you don't want

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it, we won't because I don't. You're

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 1>not a Samoa joke guy, and I don't think you

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 1>even like those matches that much. But there were gimmicks

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and a whole bunch of ladders, So if you want to,

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it, and I'm happy to discuss. Otherwise, I'm

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>just not I don't know if I have much to

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 1>contribute to it. But you can talk to the people

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>about it. They might want to hear you talk about

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I just don't have much to contribute. I thought it

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. I thought the story was great because Darby

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:15.919
<v Speaker 1>is a Seattle guy, and he won that title in

0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>his hometown. Usually in w w E, that's a guaranteed

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>loss on your on your record, not that they use

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>records in w w E. But Darby has gone through

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a strange evolution. When he first broke in, he was

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>this question mark, right, he was this He was like

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the Riddler, but not like the corny Riddler, like a

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>sexy riddler, right, Like a guy who's terrorizing Gotham has

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:44.200
<v Speaker 1>good reasons, but doesn't look like any of the people

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that have ever played the Riddler. He looks like, you know,

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a sexy dude, right, And then from there it

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>got to just vanilla ice cream man, where there was

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>just nothing there for him. They gave him sting fast.

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>It's fascinating that it works. I didn't think it would work.

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 1>It works much better now than when they started, because

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>he started doing this like is he this tortured soul

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>or is he a skateboarder cruising down the street like

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 1>goth style but still cool. He's got a good life.

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 1>He's skating. How bad can it be? And it didn't

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>quite match. And then he slowly, very slowly started to

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>let like the tortured haunted part go, like the was

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the vampire Twilight, like the emo guy, Like he's letting

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that go, and he's being a bit more himself, Like

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I follow a w on Instagram and I'll see a

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of the promos they cut to like get you

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>hyped for the matches, And he's speaking much more naturally now.

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>He seems more confident while doing that. Um, and I

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>was I'm starting to feel him more. I've I haven't

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>always been complimentary about him. His his wrestling is amazing.

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he should take three months off a year

0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>um in a row to let his freaking body heal.

0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>But I was never like, oh my god, dude, I'm

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a dad, like to see those falls. Man, It's just like, oh,

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like my son will get on the trampoline. I'm like,

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>be careful, son to turn into a helicopter. But yeah,

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>so I'm starting to like him more. And I just

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a nice story. And if this is

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the direction they're going to continue to go and he

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 1>continues to grow, then I think he really can be

0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 1>one of those pillars of the company that I used

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to think he could be. And then I was like, nah,

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>that's wrong about that. It's all on m JF shoulders

0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. And now I'm starting to see, like why

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Omega is important, why Darby is important. I'm not

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a hangman page guy, but I get why he's important.

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, man, I thought it was a nice match

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>with a nice story, and Joe did the right job,

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and I thought all was right with the world. Yeah,

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and I I like Darby Allen one thing you can

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that maybe not everyone knows. He's brutal, on the outside

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of his body. But he's like a super super like

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:56.320
<v Speaker 1>clean eating, doesn't drink, doesn't do d He's like sober,

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>straight edge guy. So I just I love him. I

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's great, and I thought it was awesome that

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 1>they even gave him the confetti in Seattle confetti. That's

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. I really liked it, man, and I haven't

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>been I like that. I'm coming back around to him.

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I like him. I just if I was his promoter

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 1>or his boss, I would tell him, you know, once

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a year, a big guys coming in and we're not

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna know if you're dead or alive, and you're gonna

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>take three months off, You're gonna go to a beach.

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna rench you a house, go enjoy it. Take

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 1>your girl, take a good guy, take three girls, like

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever you whatever you need to do to chill out.

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sending a massage therapist out there, like did you're

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:36.160
<v Speaker 1>ask well? And when you come back, you kill everybody.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>You're a better owner than Vince. That's the nicest thing

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I've ever heard. I want the guy to wrestle for

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty years. Man. That everybody's built like Jeff Hardy and

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>has like pipe cleaners for body parts, like you know

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. The rest of us are human being.

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 1>That spine tattoo that Darby Ellen has is so cool,

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>like it looks so sick. I bet would never do it.

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I bet Brock Westners he's that and goes I should

0:31:59.880 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 1>have on that. I shouldn't have got this wienery looking

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.880
<v Speaker 1>sword on my chest. That's a that was a bad idea.

0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Darby's lines are cleaner. Man. Here's another side quest. I'm

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 1>going to Vancouver, Canada to meet with this tattoo artist

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that I've wanted to work on my one tattoo. This

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 1>is a real tattoo story, not the stupid smone. I've

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to fix something on it and kind of complete

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. And we lost touch after Scooby Doo too,

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>because that was the one there, and he reached out

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 1>on social media. He's like a famous tattoo artist. I

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>love his work and I'm gonna flapp to Vancouver for

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>no reason other than finish the tattoo a couple of months.

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Bro Wait, where is your tattoos on my left shoulder

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>down to my a little bit of my elbow. I

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>was born in the Year of the dragon, So it's

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a dragon, and I was born on the eighth, so

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>it's in the shape of an eight. Nice I didn't know,

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>sort of like an abstract got a badass, like a

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 1>secret badass? Well, you know, everyone had one in the

0:32:56.800 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 1>motorcycle gang. I used to ride there you go sing,

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you're a little late. We used to We used to

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 1>run drugs over the border back of the nineties. Man,

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we're hardcore. Yea, they're not. They're I've never even done those.

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>They didn't make you prioritize the tattoo for They were like, yeah,

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:12.479
<v Speaker 1>just whenever you can get around to it, even when

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you're not in the gang. Twenty years later, you'll be fine,

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, And just get it eventually, promise, And it's

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever tattoo you want, it doesn't have to match ours.

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Ready to do your thing. So Friday Night SmackDown, there's

0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 1>not a ton to talk about. The opening segment was

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty sweet. Roman reigns for the first time, lost his ship,

0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and Sammy Zane, who is the heart and the heart

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and soul of not just the Bloodline, but of all

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>professional wrestling, is there just trying to be his emotional

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 1>support dog, which is what which is what he is

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to everyone, to all of us. Really, I take him

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>on planes with me all the time. He came with

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>me to Hawaii, sat for free, everything's good and right

0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>with the world. And Roman it starts and to feel

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>some pressure he might be losing his title soon, and

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 1>he gets piste and he gives him the side I

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 1>right like the you son, I'm gonna kill you, and

0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>he says, do you want to beat me? And sam

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have a mic, he can't even defend himself verbally,

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:16.239
<v Speaker 1>but you see the lips go on, I don't I

0:34:16.280 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want to. I don't want to beat you. Do

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to beat me? No? No, no no, no, I

0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be It's not what you want. Why

0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:26.279
<v Speaker 1>are you trying to be? Like? And he just goes

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.359
<v Speaker 1>in on him. He doesn't drop any f because he's

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.880
<v Speaker 1>a pro. Right. He goes in on him and we

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 1>see major tension for the first time, which is pretty

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:39.879
<v Speaker 1>freaking cool. And then you see this kind of lead

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 1>into Kevin Owens coming out and saying he whoa, whoa Wait, yeah, man,

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not mad at You're not mad at Sammy, who

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.480
<v Speaker 1>gets mad at their emotional support dog son of a bitch,

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what he says to him, and he says, you're

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>mad at me, and Romans is right, like, yeah, that's right,

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm mad at you. And he's like, yeah, I know

0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you're mad at me. And he goes, if you're so mad,

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 1>why don't you give me a match at the Royal

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Rumble and Roman Reigns is like fine, he's had it.

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>He just hates this guy. He legit says like, I

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 1>just want to be done with you. I don't want

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to see you, I don't want to hear you. Maybe

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:12.600
<v Speaker 1>there's some shoot stuff in there because he got palmed

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:15.279
<v Speaker 1>in the ear by Kevin Owens at War Games, so

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe there's like some real stuff in there. Trying to

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>make it extra spicy. It's like I'm doing you can

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 1>have your match, And even Paul Hayman's like, oh hard

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 1>my tramp Chief. These are these are the expressions they're emoting.

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 1>They didn't all get this sweet dialogue that I'm cutting right,

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And Kevin Owens gets what he wants and he leaves,

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 1>which leads us to the end of the show, and uh,

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Sammy's been trying to talk to the Chief man and

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the Chief's not not having it all show two hours.

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>He finally brings him in and Sammy's trying to apologize.

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't even know what to apologize for, but he knows,

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:55.799
<v Speaker 1>he knows he's upset his chief, and so he's just

0:35:55.800 --> 0:35:59.759
<v Speaker 1>trying to make it right. And he finishes and Roman says,

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 1>I own accept your apology, and sam he's like, oh

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>show ship man, I just I don't even know what

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 1>I did wrong yet. What's going on again? This is there?

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 1>These are his emotions and then Roman Ran says stop.

0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Roman says, I owe you an apology. And this was

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a very sweet soap opera moment. And then he switched.

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 1>But he switches it on him. You think he's being nice.

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.799
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm feeling this pressure. I shouldn't be going

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:29.760
<v Speaker 1>in on you, but I'm gonna give you a chance

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to redeem yourself and make it up to me, even

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>though I owe you an apology. You're gonna wrestle Kevin

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Owen's next week before the Royal Rumble, and like they

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>said in Karate Kid, I want him out of commission.

0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>And the kids like, but since I can beat this guy,

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and he just looks at him. He goes, I don't

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 1>want him beaten out of commission. That's what Paul Hayman

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 1>says to him. He was summoning his his inner Chrease.

0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 1>John Chrease was that character's name from Karate Kid some

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:04.320
<v Speaker 1>some mom and uh. And that's set up what's hopefully

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:07.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a huge Friday Night SmackDown this week. Sammy

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Zane in the main event against Kevin Freaking Owens. I

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't say freaking, that's not gimmick infringement. And the two

0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:16.839
<v Speaker 1>best friends are going to fight. What to the death,

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't know, but definitely to the pain. I hope

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 1>to the death. That'd be more interesting to watch. They're

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 1>best friends, no kidding. And a bunch of other stuff

0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.839
<v Speaker 1>happened on the show too, but but it wasn't to me.

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't a great Friday Night SmackDown, but we got

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 1>time to talk one match if there was something that

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you like that tickled your wrestling fancy. Ricochet looked amazing

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>as always, but he also made Top Dollar look terrible.

0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Top Dollar looks so sluggish, and and it was it

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 1>was interesting to watch, um, but that was my worst

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of the week. That's all I was bringing it up.

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I will say this. Yes, it's also Ricochet's job to

0:37:55.920 --> 0:38:00.800
<v Speaker 1>make his opponent look great too. However, Top Dollars, the

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:02.880
<v Speaker 1>same guy who tried to go over the top rope

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 1>clipped it and flipped pus his own nast like he's

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>not the best worker. So maybe that's as good as

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Ricochet can make Top Dollar look because Top Dollars not

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 1>at the level that he needs to be in yet.

0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:23.560
<v Speaker 1>But yes, very average dollar, it was not very able

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>to look clean. That's only that I'm bringing it up

0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 1>because Ricochet looks great when he jumps off that top rope,

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.160
<v Speaker 1>like it is amazing how high he gets, Like Ricochet

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>is just finished. It looked like he got higher than normal.

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And maybe it's because the guy he's landed on was

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:39.400
<v Speaker 1>so much bigger than he was, But it looked like

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:43.360
<v Speaker 1>he went twenty feet in the air and landed perfect

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:46.920
<v Speaker 1>like he always did. Also, Charlotte Flair doesn't look like

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>herself anymore. She she looks I will barely recognize her.

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you haven't seen her in along. It has been

0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a while, it's been eight months. Um, we didn't even

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about that. We're both on vacation when it happened. Uh,

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:02.160
<v Speaker 1>And some people are mad that Charlotte is champ again.

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Why do you really want that title around Ronda roused

0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.319
<v Speaker 1>these ways? Or when Raquel Rodriguez comes in, do you

0:39:09.360 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 1>want her to get it off someone that's legit, that

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the company respects, so that it means more, or she's

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 1>just gonna win it off a part timer like no,

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:20.320
<v Speaker 1>put it on Charlotte and then let Charlotte and Raquel

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 1>go to WrestleMania and it'll be an awesome match, and

0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Raquel can be the good guy by that point because

0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:28.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone will start booing Charlotte the only cheer about a month,

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and then they all turned to booze on her every

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:33.440
<v Speaker 1>single title run um and then everybody's happy and and

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:37.360
<v Speaker 1>then and everybody wins. You don't want Ronda still with

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the title, I promise. So I like the Charlotte's champ

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and I like Charlotte. I think Charlotte is she's the

0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 1>whole girl. She's like the whole code of women's wrestling.

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And in my she done, she's awesome, and she's a beast,

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I'm happy she's champing and she got that

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:53.320
<v Speaker 1>figure eight. Sonya Deville took it like a champ to

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 1>sold that pain. I don't know if you notice this,

0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 1>but you know, she's supposed to be babyface right like

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte right now, and she's snatched the belt from the

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 1>female referee like the way the way like a heel

0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:09.839
<v Speaker 1>would famously, you know, like she she snatched the belt

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.279
<v Speaker 1>like give me that, and then you can see her realized, like, oh, yeah,

0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:14.799
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't it that. She goes, oh, sorry, sorry, she apologized

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.520
<v Speaker 1>to now I know, yeah, she goes she put on

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 1>this super like fake smile and went thank you. And

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why that was weird? I missed. I

0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>must have not been looking at the moment she snatched

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the belt and missed that. So that's why she did.

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And I have a theory that that's the Vince McMahon

0:40:30.520 --> 0:40:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that's ingrained in her. Like it's like this like, oh,

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get heat backstage for for doing that. Vince

0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:37.720
<v Speaker 1>is gonna go, you're not our heel. You don't snatch

0:40:37.800 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the belt from the referee, and so like I think
