00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: Like it was.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: It was one of those ones that was like five

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: o'clock and I was like, oh huh. Scrolling through Instagram

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: kick Off show starts, I was like, huh, okay, pay

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: per view tonight.

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if it's just like too like

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: just the the repetition of having one every single month,

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: or you know, this one's not a big four so

35
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: it's just kind of out of sight, out of mine.

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: But surprisingly it was pretty solid for you know, WW standards.

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: I actually enjoyed most of it.

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, and it was it was a cool little event.

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: I had a buddy of mine who was there and

40
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: he was kind of sending me photos and he sent

41
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: me a photo of him and seth Rawlins at a

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: gym earlier that day, which I was like total fomo

43
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: right now. But yeah, yeah, So this this episode, we're

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: gonna kind of just kind of go over, you know,

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: thoughts about the matches that we saw. We're also gonna

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: talk about the big big thing that kind of happened

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: that nobody knew was gonna happen, which we actually posted

48
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: about it on our Instagram. You could follow us Battleground

49
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: podcast and also as well on the podcast we're going

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: to talk about our weekly challenge, who we're going to

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: have on the show this week, and the fact that

52
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: we called it. Eventually aw was gonna come to Nashville.

53
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: Of course, they announced we're coming to Nashville in November.

54
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: All right, Uh, let's just go ahead and start it off.

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: Kickoff show starts AJ Styles versus Cedric Alexander. I was

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: sitting there and I actually watched this match, and when

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: Cedric you know, hit his finisher that as soon as

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: the bell ring, I was like, holy shit, is about

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: to be a squash match. Cedric's about to be the champion.

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: Something's wrong with AJ Styles.

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was not expecting that at all. And you know,

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: I like both those guys, so I would have been

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: okay either way. I kind of I like AJ being

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: paired up with the club again or I guess officially

65
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: paired up with him. And but I think you and

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: I have talked about it. Paul Hayman is really high

67
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: on Cedric Alexander, So I think they're starting. I think

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like a slow build, but I think

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna start seeing him probably at least get up

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: to like the Ricochet level. But I mean, he's a

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: really big fan, so if nothing else, as always AJ

72
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: put him over. CBS Sports gave it a B. I'd

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: probably probably give it a B plus. I mean it

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: was pretty pretty solid.

75
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that it was a really good and like

76
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: you said, you know, Paul being high on Cedric, then

77
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: I would like to see Cedric. I mean they put

78
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: him in some pretty good spots. He did the one

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: where they, I guess made him a janitor. What was

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: that match? It was a tag team match? Was him

81
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: and Roman versus somebody? Maybe it was him and Roman versus?

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

83
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: Was it?

84
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Was it Daniel Bryan and Rowin.

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: Was possibly it was? No, it was it was back

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: when Shane McMahon was doing his stupid thing.

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: I'm admittedly not a huge SmackDown person, so I probably

88
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: missed that one. I think.

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: I think that's what you know, I don't know.

90
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: We actually, uh the cruise Weight started the show. That's

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: actually the first one.

92
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: That's right, That's right.

93
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: I actually just go ahead and I mean we can

94
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: we can scare. I don't think either one of us

95
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: watched it.

96
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: That's when I came in.

97
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they said there was only issue was somewhat sloppy finish.

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: So I did catch that.

99
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: It was I think you. I think you said something

100
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: about catching it or something.

101
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: It was weird. It was so what happened was, I

102
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: get and I don't know who this guy is, Carillo,

103
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: that's is that his name? So he hit I guess

104
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: his finisher on Dorado, and I mean it was clean,

105
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: and then Gulac came in tossed him out and it

106
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: was the weirdest thing ever because Gulac it finished with

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: a roll up. And what happened was that was I

108
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: don't know if that was my computer or no, I

109
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: don't know. Anyways, So he hit the finisher, Gulac came in,

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: threw him out of the ring, and then basically it

111
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: was a roll up temp on Dorado and then all

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you hear the referee says, shoulder's not down,

113
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: shoulder's not down, Like he literally gave the queue. Shoulders

114
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: came down. Then it was one two three, and I

115
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: was like, either somebody just completely screwed this matchup or

116
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: that's the way it was supposed to end with him

117
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: rolling him up.

118
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds weird. Yeah, I'll have to go back

119
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: and watch that one. I didn't know. I didn't even

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: know that was part of it. So when I turned

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: it on, it was Aj and Cedric and they kept

122
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: talking about the kickoff, so I just assumed that was

123
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: the first, you know, the first match. So yeah, I

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: don't know much about Dorado or Carrillo. Drew Goulik is awesome.

125
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: Of course, he's the current champ. And I think, you know,

126
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: hopefully with the NXT starting up this week, I guess

127
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: on us A, I think three of two of five

128
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: is gonna start being dissolved according to Triple H. I

129
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be taking that that show off the air,

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: and you're gonna start seeing the cruiserweights, I guess predominantly

131
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: on NXT, which is fine with me that I mean,

132
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: you know, I think that kind of suits their style

133
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: better and.

134
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: Gives them a little bit more rosters.

135
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean and then that's that gives them

136
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: three belts too, so you get the Cruiser rate, the

137
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: now North American and the NXT Heavyweight Championship. So so yeah,

138
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: I think it would be good in the long run.

139
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: So but but yeah, I didn't wanna didn't want to

140
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: skip over that one. I just I missed it personally, so.

141
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't. And I came in at the tail

142
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: end of it, so so that's why I didn't really

143
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: mention that. But uh so let's move on. So there's

144
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: your two kickoff show or kickoff matches, and then I

145
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: guess the start of the show was the rag Tag

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: Team Champions. It was Robert Rude and Dolph Ziggler against

147
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: Seth Rawlins and Braun Stroman. And sitting here watching this match,

148
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: like just the highlights, I was like, well, we already

149
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen. Seth and Bron aren't gonna retain

150
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: the titles like it was a random let's just put

151
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: the titles on them because we have nothing else to do.

152
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was, Yeah, I don't know, Seth,

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: they do they This isn't the first time this happened

154
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: with Seth. He was you know, him and Jason Jordan

155
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: were champs and you know, just I don't know, so

156
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: it was. I mean, it was cool that Bron had

157
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: a belt, but it was very odd. But yeah, same thing.

158
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: Paul Hayman, he's especially high on I guess Robert Rude

159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: now Bobby Rude, but he likes Dolf too. So he

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: he kind of concocted this plan to put those the

161
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: tag belts on them just so they can have more

162
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: screen time and have something to do. And so I'm

163
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm not a I'm not a Ziggler hater, you know.

164
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not my favorite or anything, but I

165
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: mean I don't hate him. I really like Bobby Rude.

166
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: He's another one of those guys. Unfortunately, he was huge

167
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: in NXT, and I mean his theme song was catchy

168
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: and every I mean it just seemed like they it was,

169
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: you know, delivered with a bow, you know, to the

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: main roster, and then nothing, you know. So unfortunately, he

171
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: was another one of those guys that got squandered after

172
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: they were huge in NXT. So I'm kind of I'm

173
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: excited to see, you know, at least him doing something

174
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: that's not the twenty four to seven rule belt, you know.

175
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, CBS give that one to be mine. I'd

176
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: probably you know, probably give it a C plus, you know,

177
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 2: just to split the difference. I mean, it was it

178
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: wasn't bad, but I think me and you both, i

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: mean we instantly like as soon as they announced all

180
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: this stuff, we're like, wellout they'll drop those for sure,

181
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: you know.

182
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like, like, going back to what you said,

183
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: it's good to see them getting more TV time because

184
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: I mean, excuse me, Ziggler had been on talking about

185
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: how he's not getting TV time, and then of course,

186
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: like you said, Bobby Rude got called up and he

187
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: had what maybe the US title, he was the US champ,

188
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: and then after that it just kind of mid card guy.

189
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 3: Then it was opening Card, Dark Match, Saturday night heat

190
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: House show guy, and it's like the thing was was

191
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: he he was over when he got up there. I mean,

192
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: I can't tell you how many times I went to

193
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: a Predators game and they were playing his theme song

194
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: in the arena and people were just going nuts, and

195
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: some of them weren't even wrestling fans. And now to

196
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 3: kind only finally see that happening. But it's it is

197
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: kind of funny because if you if you scroll back

198
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: and as you're listening to this, make sure you follow

199
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: us on Instagram. It's Battleground Podcast. A few weeks back,

200
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: we had posted a I guess a funny meme and

201
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: it was like, you know, can I copy your homework?

202
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: And it's like, yeah, just change it up a bit

203
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: so it doesn't look obvious. You copied it, and then

204
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: it's a photo of mister Perfect and Rick Rude, and

205
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: then you look down at the bottom and there's Ziggler

206
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: and Bobby Rude. So yeah, if they if if they

207
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: would have paired Curtis Axel with Bobby Rud, then we

208
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: would have known that they're just bringing that back.

209
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's.

210
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 3: Still funny to see this. It's good to see them

211
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: have belts on and hopefully they don't screw them over.

212
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: Let's hope.

213
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: So the next uh I Guess match on the card

214
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 3: and I kind of skip past this one, but it

215
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: was Bailey versus Charlotte Flair, and my personal opinion where Okay,

216
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: they're in Charlotte's home or in Flair's hometown. I was like,

217
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna give the belt to Charlotte. That was that

218
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: was my thought the entire time.

219
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was my pick too, especially when

220
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: they were reporting I guess around WrestleMania, like right after

221
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: the triple Threat, I guess they were going to start

222
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: giving Charlotte like quick title reigns to kind of let

223
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: her surpass Rick Flair. But they haven't really done that.

224
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: As much as they were leading on or maybe that

225
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: changed once Yeah, Paul Hayman and Bischoff got on board

226
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 2: or something. I don't know, So I just assumed. I

227
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: did not anticipate Bailey to hold the belt as long

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: as she has, But now that she's kind of turning

229
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: heel that that's kind of kind of saucy. I kind

230
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: of liked that their roles are reversed a little bit.

231
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: So I hope Charlotte goes back to Hill at some point.

232
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of like her dad, like she she just

233
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: plays that so well. But you know, people have been

234
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: waiting for Bailey to be a Hill since she started.

235
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: So CBS gave this a B minus. I'd probably give

236
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: it a bee. I think it was maybe a little

237
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: bit better than that.

238
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm kind of right there with you. I mean,

239
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: with it ending with Bailey smashing her you know, face

240
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: into the turnbuckle and then just rolling up for the PIM.

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: I do like this, this bad side of Bailey's. It's

242
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: a good one, and it's something that we've all needed

243
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: for a while, and we've been wanting it. It's kind

244
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: of like the Roman thing, Like we want Roman to

245
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: go Hill, but I don't ever see Vince making him

246
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: a heel just because he's over with the kids. The

247
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: next we'll move on to the next matter. Kind of

248
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: kind of going through these pretty quick, because, like I said,

249
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: me and Eli kind of just didn't really watch it,

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: and it was just kind of background noise for me

251
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: at my house. I was too busy worrying about Fantasy football,

252
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: the Revival versus The New Day, and I was sitting

253
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: here and of course Xavier and I'm doing finger quotes

254
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: which you can't see on TV. He was hurt. Now,

255
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: whether this is you know, a real legit injury or not,

256
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any reports anywhere online, but spoiler alert

257
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: if you haven't seen it, the Revival did get the

258
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: tag team title back, which I thought it was kind

259
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: of weird that, you know, we already had two title

260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: changes on the pay per view, so I was like, Okay, well,

261
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: you know, maybe it's going to go tile change, retain

262
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: title change anyways, but I do like the fact that

263
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: the Revival got the tag team titles back.

264
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I did not see this one coming, just because

265
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: the New Day is it was awesome with all three

266
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: of them having belts and they're still super popular and

267
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: selling a ton of merch. So yeah, I'm really big

268
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: Revival guys. As soon as I got back into wrestling,

269
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: they were they were kind of going back and forth

270
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: with American Alpha and they were two time NXT champs,

271
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm everyone knows my love for arn

272
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: Anderson and the Horseman and you know, specifically you know

273
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: him and Barry Wyndham, and they're just cut from that cloth,

274
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: and I just I love it, and I kind of

275
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: hate that they're probably not gonna be able to get

276
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: out of w W and go to a W and

277
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: you know, fight with that Tech Team division that they're developing.

278
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: But you know, maybe at some point. But I don't

279
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: think it was the best match in the world. But

280
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm happy that the Revival will have the

281
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: goal again. And I actually kind of enjoyed their what

282
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: they're doing with Randy Orton. I'm not a big Randy

283
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Orton guy, but it kind of makes sense this whole

284
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: f t r KO thing. So CBS gave it a

285
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: C plus. I'd probably give it maybe a B minus

286
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: just to be positive. It wasn't It wasn't bad, but

287
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: it was I guess it. It wasn't the match I

288
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: was expecting. And then, like I said, I was surprised

289
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: that they did give it to the revival so.

290
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: And that, you know, when I saw that they won

291
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: the belt, I was like, Okay, maybe they're going to

292
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: give Randy the belt and let them kind of run

293
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: and rampant through the roster, especially with them in their

294
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: new gear and the stable with Randy, like you had mentioned,

295
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: and I do like the stable. It's it's good to

296
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: pair Randy with them, and you know, it's it's I

297
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: like how everything's going with those two, and it's especially

298
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: with the FTR. I mean, they're taking full advantage of

299
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: being the elite, calling them out every time. So it's

300
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: it's good that I guess ww's giving the nod to

301
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: being the elite. Uh yeah, but it's it's it's fun

302
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: to see how these events are going to be turning

303
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: out over the next several months. Because with AW starting

304
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: to kind of ramp up, but moving right along to

305
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: the next match, the Women's Tag Team Championship, I was

306
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: pretty sure that Alexa and Nicki weren't gonna drop it

307
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: because there's gotta be something down the road for them too.

308
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: I kind of thought they were. To be honest, it's

309
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: kind of the the Rollins Stroman thing, like, it just

310
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like a permanent team. But I guess they

311
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: they love Alexa Bliss so much, they just got it.

312
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: She has to have a belt kind of a deal.

313
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: And I don't mean that in a negative way. She

314
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: has a reputation backstage for being very positive, very approachable,

315
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: you know, very gung ho with everything they pitch at her.

316
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: So they're just they keep, you know, they keep giving

317
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: her all these opportunities because she's, you know, has a

318
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: good attitude about it and she's making the most of it.

319
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: So but Fire and Desire, they just they seem like

320
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:55,239
Speaker 2: an actual unit, and I think they have more crossover

321
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: appeal obviously. Sonya Deville's lesbian Mandy Rhodes dropped dead gorgeous.

322
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: Both of them are, actually, so I think that's just

323
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: a more of an interesting pair, kind of the fire

324
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: and Ice kind of dynamic, and they both have different styles.

325
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: Mandy Roads kind of reminds me of a almost sounds

326
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: like I'm saying Rhodes Mandy Rose. She almost reminds me

327
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: of a Rick Flair kind of wrestler. And then Sonya

328
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: Deville's got the mm A background, so they It's just

329
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: a really interesting tag dynamic that I like. So I

330
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: thought this was gonna be it. I really thought this

331
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: was gonna be them getting the belt. I'm okay with

332
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: Alexa Bliss and Nicky Cross. I'm just glad they're doing

333
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: something with Nicky Cross because when she got called up,

334
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: I thought she's gonna be lost in the wayside, like

335
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: a lot of NXT call ups. So I'm glad she's

336
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: doing something. This whole twenty four to seven crap interrupted it,

337
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: and that just took me out of it. They gave

338
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: CBS gave it a C. I'd probably give it a

339
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: C minus at least. I really really hate this twenty

340
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: four to seven belt, as you and I have talked about,

341
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: but when it interferes actual matches going on, it just

342
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: deflates everything. It makes me hate the twenty four to

343
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: seven belt even more. It takes me out of the

344
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: match that I'm watching. So I really hate that this

345
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: was the match they got interfered with for that. So

346
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: I was not a fan of the outcome, and I

347
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: was not a fan of that interference.

348
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: No, not at all. And that's that's once again, it's

349
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: just them trying to figure out about this twenty four

350
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: to seven title. You kind of laugh a little bit

351
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: with you know, truth trying to roll up Alexa. But

352
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 3: at the same time, it's like, when are they going

353
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: to think, Oh, the twenty four to seven title is over,

354
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: let's make it interrupt the main event at something.

355
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about that. You can quote me

356
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 2: on this. I would definitely not watch that pay per

357
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 2: view if that occurs.

358
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't know. And I here's what I'm thinking,

359
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: is I mean, and I could be wrong. Like you said,

360
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: they're really high on Alexa Bliss. I wouldn't be surprised

361
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: if they're trying to okay, keep them as the tag

362
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: team titles and then eventually giving Alexa one of the

363
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: women's championships she can hold both of them at the

364
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: same time, and then set up something to where they

365
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: dropped the belts because Nicki Cross got beat or whatever,

366
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: and then set that storyline up to where Nicki goes

367
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: after the title after they kind of get her acclimated

368
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: and get people to like her.

369
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that happening. I mean, you know,

370
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: you know it's gonna be a you know there's gonna

371
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: be a breakup at some point, you know what I mean,

372
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: especially when like they don't even have a name for

373
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: the team. It's just Alexa Bliss and nicki Careate, you

374
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like at least Mandy Rose and

375
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: Sonya Deville they have fire desire. You know, they've actually

376
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: kind of nicknamed it, so you know at some point

377
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: something's gonna happen.

378
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: So yeah, so let's let's kind of move right on

379
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: along to the Intercontinental Championship.

380
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: Now.

381
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: I will say this, I do like the pairing of

382
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: Sammy Zain and shinsk Like. It's it's good because, I mean,

383
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: you we all know how Vince is. He's not very

384
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: high on wrestlers that don't speak very good English, and

385
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: of course you we all know Shinske's my skills. They're

386
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 3: not the best when it comes to speaking to the

387
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 3: American fans.

388
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's interesting because they wrestled in NXT.

389
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: It was Sammy z Ain's final match in NXT and

390
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: shins Kate's very first match. He was debuting and Sammy

391
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: put him over and they get called up, and so

392
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: it's interesting they're paired together. It's definitely one of those

393
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: situations where you don't really know what they're doing with Sammy.

394
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: You know, like when he when him and Kevin Owens

395
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: repaired up last year and he was the heel, and

396
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 2: I mean he's a heel again, but it's more of

397
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: a like last year he was more of a smartass,

398
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it was more like,

399
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, this new heel is just like you

400
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: people suck and you're the problem and you know, and

401
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: it's just I don't know this He'll turney has now

402
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: just irritates me. I'm not as invested last year when

403
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: him and Ko repaired up and it was like who

404
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: do they It was it was them two against Daniel

405
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: Bryan and Shane McMann. I guess when when Daniel Brian

406
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: came back, Like, I mean, I was just all all

407
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: in heading into that. So it's just one of those

408
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: where I guess, I don't know, I guess events. But

409
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he just does not see the value in

410
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: Sammy's ain and I mean he's just never really gonna

411
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: break through. And there's rumors that they're going to move

412
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: him over to NXT, which I would I would be

413
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: a fan of. He was NXT champion, So I'm okay

414
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: with that. Knockamore looked incredible. I posted a thing. He

415
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: looked like a super villain. He looked incredible. I like

416
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: all three guys in this. You know, I would have

417
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: been okay with miss winning to add another rain to

418
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: his repertoire. I'm glad Knockamore has a belt. Though CB

419
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: has to give this one a C plus. I mean

420
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: i'd probably give it a B minus. I mean, it

421
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: was you know, it wasn't spectacular, but I mean it

422
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: was it was okay for you know, an IC defense.

423
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I kind of was thinking, like you said,

424
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: that was it would have been nice to have Miz win.

425
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: But I mean, there's obviously something else coming down the road,

426
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't be surprised at Is there show already

427
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: over on USA? Is there another season coming up?

428
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've announced one. I know, I

429
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: know they were saying that the ratings were struggling head

430
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: the end of the second season, and so like, I

431
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 2: don't know what they you know, I think the rumor

432
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: is is they made him a good guy on TV

433
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: to kind of help boost that boost the ratings and stuff.

434
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I haven't heard anything about a

435
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: third season yet.

436
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I wouldn't be surprised. Just kind of thinking ahead,

437
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if you know, they give him

438
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: a belt when it gets closer time to I guess

439
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: the new season, or give him a belt when it's

440
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: time to start filming the new season, just so they

441
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: have that belt of the t in the show. Yeah

442
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: that who knows what that one, just to kind of

443
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: boost that stuff, all right, moving light right along. The

444
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: match that everybody's wanting to see kind of was the

445
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: Raw Women's Championship Sasha Banks and her first match back

446
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: against Becky Lynch. The one thing I guess I liked

447
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: in the the match was like her temper tantrum that

448
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: she started throwing when she didn't get the win or

449
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: the pin. But it was really cool to kind of see, yeah,

450
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: and for her to you know, play along with I

451
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: guess the rumors or whatever really did happen backstage anyways.

452
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: You know, I do like what she did about paying

453
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: homage to Eddie with the chair shot angle, which is

454
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 3: what you know, CBS Sports even talked about it in

455
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 3: that one as well. But when that happened, and they

456
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 3: went outside the ring, and you know, it's kind of

457
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 3: funny because they're outside of the ring. It was never

458
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 3: a no disqualified or it was never a no disqualification

459
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 3: match or nothing. So the referees knocked out finger quotes

460
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 3: and they're just running rampant through the arena. Now, if

461
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: you look at any other match where a referee gets

462
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 3: hit with a chair, he's probably down for what maybe

463
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: thirty seconds and he gets back up. That thing took

464
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: up the ramp through the concession stand area and then

465
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 3: back down the ramp through the crowded and then in

466
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: the ring and he's still laying there knocked out the mat,

467
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: which is just funny. But it's wrestling, we all know, you.

468
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, I really thought Becky was dropping at this one.

469
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: You know, I think there's not a there's not a

470
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: lot of there's not a lot of people that you

471
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: can believe can take the belt off her. You know,

472
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: I think if if the her and Lacy Evans had

473
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: happened two years from now, yeah, probably that's something we

474
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: could believe. But no one. I actually thought Lacey Evans

475
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: was going to win because of how green she is,

476
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: you know, so you know, there's not a lot of

477
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: Ronda Rousey was probably close. She beat her, Charlotte was close,

478
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: She's beat her. You know, there's just not a lot

479
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: of these people that you're like, holy shit, there, there's

480
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 2: no way she's gonna beat her, you know. And I

481
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: think Sasha pairs up nice. You know, It's it's pretty

482
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: even matched, especially since they're both multi champions and I

483
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: don't I don't remember. I don't think Becky Lynch was

484
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: the n XT Women's champion, but Sasha was obviously, and

485
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: so yeah, I thought it was I mean, it's pretty solid. Yeah.

486
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: I think the other rev thing was kind of weird.

487
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: Of course they're it kind of went viral today when

488
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: at some point when when Sasha was getting tossed back

489
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: over the barrier, this guy reached out and like touched

490
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: her ass. And it's just like it's like, guys, I

491
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: mean it's like twenty nineteen, you know what I mean,

492
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: Like if you can't respect the performers, I mean, the

493
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: fact that she's like right there beside you, Like, I

494
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: just don't know what gives people like what they think, like, oh,

495
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna touch Sasha Banks's ass right here on this paper,

496
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it's just so so strange,

497
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: and anyways.

498
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: It just me just randomly.

499
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's seth Rollins. You're not gonna go grab

500
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: his dick and stuff, you know what I mean, Like,

501
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: I just.

502
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: Know you're not gonna, well, even if it's even if

503
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: they're not famous, you're not gonna just randomly walk up

504
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 3: to somebody and grab them, you know.

505
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: And if that was if that was not at her job,

506
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 2: you know, if she wasn't on live TV performing, she

507
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: probably would have beat the shit out of him, you

508
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

509
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: So it just even if it's a house show, she'd

510
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: probably still.

511
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 2: Go without a doubt. I mean, the fact that she

512
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: just ignored it and kept going is just class act

513
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: across the board. I mean, if that was a house

514
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: show where cameras weren't on yet, she probably would have

515
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 2: smacked the shit out of him. So that just that

516
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: just takes away from it. You know, they the women's

517
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to call a revolution whatever.

518
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's taken so long to get to this

519
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: point and then you have dumb shit like that happening,

520
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: and it's just really irritating for the fans. That that really,

521
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 2: you know, respect just all the performers, not just the females,

522
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: I mean, but especially the females. And you know, it

523
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: just kind of sucked. That kind of took a little

524
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 2: bit of win and doubt of it. But CBS gave

525
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: it a B plus. I'd probably just I'd probably give

526
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: it an A minus, a little bit better than a

527
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: B plus. I mean, it was again, I really thought

528
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: Sasha was gonna get the belt, but you know, that

529
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: could lead up to some kind of a shocking turn

530
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: of events at Hell and the Cell, So we'll see.

531
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if we get Ronda back soon,

532
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking. I don't think I think Becky's

533
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: gonna drop it to Ronda if anything.

534
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I there's rumors that she might be

535
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: coming back. There there was rumors that WWD did her

536
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: and Seth against Baron and Lacy just set up Ronda

537
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: and her husband against Seth and Becky. I guess her

538
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: husband's been training or has wrestling training whatever. So so yeah,

539
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: I I don't know, I don't really know what to think,

540
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: to be honest, It's almost to the point where, you know,

541
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: Becky he doesn't have to have a belt, you know,

542
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: So I mean, it's not mandatory that she's champed. But

543
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: because I was talking about that with the coworker, I mean,

544
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, if you remember, Stone Cold wasn't always the champion,

545
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I mean, for the when

546
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: I think back to that time period, the bulk of

547
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: it was either the Rock or Triple H. You know.

548
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: So we'll see. You know, I think she's still the

549
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: hottest female on the roster right now, and probably one

550
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: of the top five, you know, on the whole roster

551
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: men included, So we'll see, we'll see how I mean,

552
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: she's had a really good run. I'd say its champ,

553
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: but it's just a matter of how do you take

554
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: the belt off of her without you know, losing heat,

555
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: I guess.

556
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: Making her look weak.

557
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

558
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So let's go to the next one. We don't

559
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: have to really spend much time on it because we knew,

560
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: well I thought Randy was gonna win it. But then

561
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, there's there's got to

562
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: be a bigger plan for Kofee. Kofe Kingston defeats Randy

563
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: Orton to retain the title. It was a clean finish.

564
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: You know, I I think I think, if anything, the

565
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: person that's going to take the belt from KOFE could

566
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: be Brock because he's on SmackDown and SmackDown and want

567
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: those ratings. But with Hayman being on RAW, I don't

568
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: see that happening.

569
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the rumor is he's still moving to SmackDown, So

570
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: if that happens, then I could Yeah, I could see

571
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: him taking the belt, just coming in and I'm the

572
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: bully and you know I'm taking that belt, you know,

573
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: something like that. CBS. Their critique was that that Randy

574
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: Orton was winning the whole match, like he beat him

575
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: down the entire time, and then says after Orton took

576
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: too long and missed a running punt to the head,

577
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: Kingston countered with trouble for the pen. Seeing Orton to

578
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: come to the finish, ever after beating Kingston down for

579
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: so much of the match just didn't seem believable. C minus. Yeah,

580
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: I'd probably give it a C minus or a D plus.

581
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: I'm not a I'm not a huge Randy Orton fan.

582
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: It seems like, I mean, he he he can put

583
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: on decent matches, you know. It just seems like he's

584
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: on cruise control, you know, like it's it's just when

585
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: I see him, it's like he's giving you know, like

586
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: I have to give eighty percent to make this a

587
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: good match, and that's all he does. He doesn't give

588
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: you one hundred percent to make it excellent. He gives

589
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: you eighty percent, you know. And you know, fifteen years ago,

590
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: when he was twenty four and he was the Legend

591
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: Killer and he was doing all that stuff, I was like,

592
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: this is awesome. But now, you know, I wish there

593
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: was somebody like Ricochet or somebody that was like the

594
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: new legend Killer and he was taking down people like

595
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: Brandy Orton, you know. But anyways, Kofy's had a really

596
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: good run. He's been champed way longer than I was anticipating.

597
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 2: I had a feeling that, like those SmackDown after Mania,

598
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: he was gonna get screwed like they did Zach Ryder

599
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. But yeah, I agree with you.

600
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: I think that they've got some kind of plan for him.

601
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: Otherwise that would have been a good good time for

602
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: him to drop it.

603
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it was all all in, all is

604
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: good match. The next one, they did a backstage promo

605
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: Street Profits were again around for a pay per view

606
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: after dropping the titles for NXT. King Booker shows up.

607
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: They did that, which from what I've read online and

608
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: we won't spend too much time on this, what I

609
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 3: read online is they're not wanting to have the Street

610
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: Profits wrestle yet until they're fully over on the crowd,

611
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: which I get that. Which the little promos backstage just

612
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: kind of getting the audience acclimated to them that don't know.

613
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: Them, Yeah, I mean funny, but like I don't know,

614
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: like like like what I've seen in NXT, like I've

615
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: never they never jumped out at me like Okay, these

616
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: are gonna be the guys, Like we got to put

617
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: the spotlight them, you know what I mean. Like they

618
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: don't strike me as like the new USOS or the

619
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: New New Day, the new new new New Day whatever,

620
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, they they're really good on the mic,

621
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: they got a good look and everything, but like I

622
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: just never like, holy shit, the Street Profits are awesome,

623
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like they're they're solid, but

624
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: like I mean, the Ascension was solid at one point,

625
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: you know, so like I don't know, I think they're

626
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: just trying to like change it up a little bit

627
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: and not have the token white dude, you know, teams

628
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: just to kind of give you some some variety and stuff.

629
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: So you know, I think I think they're doing it

630
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: the right way. I guess, you know, kind of letting

631
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: people grow into them and then when they finally kind

632
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: of debut, they'll have some some traction and stuff. So

633
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: I'd rather them do this than just throw them out

634
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: there and forget, you know, everybody forget about him in

635
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: two months because they don't push them.

636
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, So the next thing is the big surprise

637
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: of the night, which we posted a photo. It was

638
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: Eric rowing and Roman reigns. Eric won then be a

639
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: pinfall notice qualification. But the thing that pops out was

640
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: the fact that Louke Carper don't. I was literally just

641
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: looking at his name and I completely forgot it. Louke

642
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: Carper showed up, and of course there was rumors going

643
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 3: around that because he won his release and you know,

644
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 3: w W he was gonna go to a W But

645
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: I was looking at a thing online and it was

646
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: like that Wwe took extra steps to make sure that

647
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: Harper's surprise stayed a secret. Harper's name wasn't listed on

648
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: the format sheet. He was kept hitting backstage until just

649
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 3: before the match. No one saw Harper at all. Backs

650
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: Agent Toe's time for him to go out and help

651
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: row and win the match, which w W has been

652
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 3: known to like certain surprises they want to keep hidden, like,

653
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: for example, the Hardy Boys at WrestleMania. But that that

654
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 3: seeing him come out was just unbelievable, and so it

655
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 3: sets up some sort of storyline.

656
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, and they've they've been they've been together, from

657
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: the White Family to the Bludgend Brothers. You know, they

658
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: were the tag champs until I guess Rowan actually was

659
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: the one that got hurt, and then I guess Luke

660
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: Harper had some kind of injury too. But yeah, Luke Carper,

661
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: I mean for being I don't know how it is

662
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: now forty one, forty two. I mean, he's very underrated,

663
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: so maybe you know, maybe putting him into this storyline

664
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: with you know, now he's kind of up there with

665
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: Romean Rains and Daniel Bryan and it's it's definitely a

666
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: prime time you know story thing going on. The match

667
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 2: itself was I mean, I couldn't tell you one thing

668
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: that happened in the match. All the big takeaway from

669
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: this is obviously Luke Harper came back. So so you know,

670
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: CBS gave to c players. I'd probably just give it

671
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: to see.

672
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right there with you. So we could just

673
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: move on to the next match, because I mean, it's

674
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: a Roman rings man, there's really not much to do.

675
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 3: Ooh uh, Superman, punch spear, stick out your tongue. That's it.

676
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 3: That's that's a Roman ring match for you. So the

677
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 3: next one was the main event seth Rawlins versus Bronze Droman.

678
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 3: Whoever was the champion at the end automatically goes to

679
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 3: Hell in the Cell and faces bray Wyatt, which a

680
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 3: lot of people there was I guess some controversy because

681
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: whatever the arena is that's hosting Hell in the Cell

682
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: put out a thing it was like Brounze Stroman versus

683
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 3: bray Whatt for the title, and I think like a

684
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: lot of people started like freaking out over it, and

685
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 3: the arena like deleted it and then it was like

686
00:36:53,920 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 3: whoever's face, whoever wins the whatever. But I mean it

687
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 3: was a good match. I mean they didn't make Braun

688
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: seem weak. I mean, taking several curb stomps, and you

689
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 3: know it was it was, it was a good match.

690
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 3: I would like to eventually see Braun get the title.

691
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: I mean he just linked a new multi year deal,

692
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 3: which usually when that happens, that means a belt coming

693
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 3: just so they could be like, hey, we're gonna give

694
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 3: you the belt if you signed this deal for us.

695
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is probably the most controversial thing I

696
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 2: have said so far, so we'll have to remember this episode.

697
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 2: So basically, to me, the brounz Stroman character is dead,

698
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: Like they completely they just they completely killed him with

699
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: with with the events from Clash to the Champions. I mean,

700
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: he he could not beat Brock. He was in the

701
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 2: elimination chamber, he eliminated five people and then was put

702
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: out by Roman. You know, he lost clean to Seth

703
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: last last night. I mean they're just like, can I mean,

704
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: can you imagine if they had done this to brock

705
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 2: Lesnar if brock Lesnard came out and like lost to

706
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: somebody like Seth Rollins or put out five people and

707
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: then Roman Rains put him out, Like, we wouldn't be

708
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 2: in this boat right now where Brock makes ten million

709
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: dollars a year and wrestles eight or eight to ten

710
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: times a year, and that's it, you know what I mean.

711
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: But I mean there's just nothing, Like what do you

712
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: do from here? You know what I mean? Like like

713
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: he could have been the guy that the beat Brock

714
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: convincingly and that didn't happen. And he could have been

715
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: the guy that like eliminated six people in elimination chamber

716
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: didn't happen. He could have been the guy that beat

717
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: Seth Clean didn't. I mean, like, what do you do now?

718
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like I don't know, like

719
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: he has no credibility, you know, basically to me, it

720
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: looks like since he left the Wide family, he can

721
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 2: beat no names and that's it. But when it comes

722
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: time to like the big shows, the main events, he's

723
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen. And somebody actually compared him to

724
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: the Big Show today, which is funny because the Big

725
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: Show actually was a world champion. But you know, in

726
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: the last part of his career, he just he kind

727
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: of jobbed more times than not. And he also he'll face,

728
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: he'll face, he'll face, just flip flop back and forth,

729
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: and some people joked that he would turn in the

730
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: single show you know, he'd start as a heel and

731
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: then go back to face and then back to hell.

732
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: And so the rumor was a couple of weeks ago,

733
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, whatever it was, he was

734
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: very frustrated with his direction. I don't know if this

735
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: was before he signed his deal. After Vince made the

736
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: production meeting stop and made everyone leave the room and

737
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,959
Speaker 2: he sat there with brown Strum for forty five minutes

738
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: to an hour and went over the whole thing. He's like,

739
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: here's the game plan, here's how we're getting there, here's this,

740
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: here's that, this is what we're doing. And braun Struman

741
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: was on podcasts and said it was awesome. He's like,

742
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: I feel really good about my position in the company.

743
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 2: I feel good about my direction. And all I can

744
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 2: say is, I don't know how. I have no idea

745
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: how you feel confident in your position. I don't know

746
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: how you like where you're going. I mean, you have

747
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: been booked one of the worst that I've ever seen

748
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: a wrestler be booked. It's it's just it's baffling what

749
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: they've done with braun Struman. So that is my controversialment.

750
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of Yeah, I'm not a fan

751
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 3: of it. I would like for them to do more,

752
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: but like you said to me, he's lost to little people,

753
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: could never beat Brock, So where do you go with it?

754
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 3: And then you put them up with a kid to

755
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: win the tag team titles. I think the only great

756
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 3: thing of this match was at the end when Bray

757
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 3: Watt showed up busting with a sister Abbas Galen. Was

758
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 3: just like having them there lifeless and then you in

759
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: the show that way, which was great. So that concludes

760
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 3: I guess our review of Clash of the Champions or

761
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 3: whatever you would like to call it.

762
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 2: And piggybacking off of that, I mean, if we are recorded,

763
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 2: they if they mess up, like if Bray doesn't win

764
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: in Hell and the Cell, they fucked him to this

765
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: whole six or seven months of building this up and

766
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: putting out Finn uh Finn Balor at the you know,

767
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: at the height of his popularity, and and then just

768
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 2: for him to go into the cage and lose to Seth.

769
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 2: I mean, they've just got to at some point see

770
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 2: that Seth is not the main guy, you know what

771
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean. So I don't know, we'll see anyways.

772
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: We do, Yeah, I mean it's if he doesn't, like

773
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 3: you said, yeah, if he doesn't win, I don't know

774
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do with w just because I mean,

775
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: you've been gassing up this Fiend and Firefly funhouse and

776
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 3: then you're not doing anything with it. So let's uh,

777
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: let's let's kind of move on to the Battleground Weekly

778
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 3: Challenge that we're going to close the show out with, which,

779
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 3: by the way, after we kind of discuss this, I

780
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 3: do have a big announcement of a guest that we're

781
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: having on the show later this week. I can't say

782
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 3: that because it did confirm with the management team. So

783
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: let's go into it Weekly Challenge, ELI, who do.

784
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: We have this week? We have decided on Barry Wyndham,

785
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: of course, from the Four Horsemen blah blah blah, and

786
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: Baron Corbin.

787
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 3: Yes, gonna be By the way, we are recording this

788
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: it is Monday night, just letting you guys know. We

789
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: couldn't record this weekend, so Rawle is going on. So

790
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 3: we don't know if or if Baron's going to win

791
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 3: King of the Ring. We're pretty sure he is, but

792
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: we're just gonna go ahead and make this a match

793
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 3: for the Weekly Challenge. So Baron Corbin and Barry Wyndham

794
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 3: on this match, two big guys going at it center

795
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 3: of the ring. It was funny. I was looking at

796
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: Barry Wyndham's Wikipedia page and the photo they use looks

797
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 3: like Spike Dudley is the photo It was like Barry

798
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 3: Wyndham in nineteen ninety six. But I think it would

799
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: be a really good match. I would uh, I would

800
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 3: probably put my money on Barry Wyndham though, just because

801
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: of how technical he is and like getting in the

802
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 3: opponent's mind and his strength. I mean, Baron's got strength

803
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 3: as well, but Barry Wyndham had that good old boys strength.

804
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 2: On a side note, I just I want to interrupt.

805
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 2: So the beginning of Raw had both tech team champs,

806
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: it had Bobby Rude and Dolph Zigler and the Revival

807
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: and braun Strouman came out and destroyed all of them.

808
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: So again they have no fucking clue what they're doing

809
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: with bron Strumman. So he can't beat one world champion,

810
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 2: he can't beat seth Rawlins clean, but he takes out

811
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: four tag team champions. It's baffling to me. I don't

812
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 2: even have words, right, now I don't even know.

813
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't even know if we I don't even I

814
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: think that's the way we should just end this episode

815
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: and we just let the fans and the listeners decide

816
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: who wins between Baron Korman and Barry Wyndham in the

817
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 3: weekly Challenge, because let's just well let them decide. You

818
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 3: can check it out. It's on our Instagram Battleground podcast

819
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: that right there. What Eli just said really furiates fans

820
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: as wrestlers or wrestling fans, because it's like, you've got

821
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 3: this guy who's like three hundred pounds, six foot whatever,

822
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: can't beat seth Rowns, but he can come out and

823
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: destroy the uh yeah, both tag team champions for Rownds.

824
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: Right, and they've built him up to be this monster.

825
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: I mean he was literally tipping over ambulances and you know,

826
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 2: all this crap, and he can't beat CrossFit Jesus. I mean,

827
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: it just doesn't make it doesn't make any sense, you know.

828
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 2: For what it's worth, my vote would be Barry Wyndham

829
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 2: as well. He was the he was actually a former

830
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: NWA World Champion, US Champion, television champion. He was the

831
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: WWF Tag Team Champion twice. So he's a little bit

832
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 2: more decorated. That's not to say Baron Corbin won't get there.

833
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 2: But Barry Wyndham's just awesome. He's very underrated in my book.

834
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: He could talk. He's a Bray Wyatt's uncle. So that's

835
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: my vote.

836
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 3: Boom, there it is. You go and vote and decide.

837
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 3: It's on our podcast page on Instagram Battleground Podcast. So

838
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 3: I guess the moment should we is there like a

839
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 3: drum roll sound effect?

840
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 2: We have got It's like a joke drums that's not

841
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: a drum No, I don't have drum roll.

842
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: Okay. So with the announcement AW is coming to Nashville

843
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 3: in November, uh we pulled some strings and uh well

844
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: this Friday show is going to be very big because

845
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 3: the man himself, Cody Rhodes, will be calling in to

846
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 3: talk about a e W and the national show and

847
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 3: his career.

848
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we might we might put something up like Wednesday,

849
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: and you know, if you if you have any questions,

850
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: We're obviously going to try to avoid some of the

851
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: w WE stuff. He's that's that's always talked about pretty much.

852
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 2: So I think there's a couple of little things we

853
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: want to know, but not like you know.

854
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 3: Have not go straight on of why will you bring

855
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: stardust to a e W. So we're not we're not

856
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 3: going to spend anything about w WE. It might be

857
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 3: one of the things of like what was it like

858
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 3: working in WWE when the rest of your family was

859
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 3: there and you're a third generation and blah blah blah.

860
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 3: But the interview mainly is going to focus on AW

861
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: and the future.

862
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah of the PRIB. I mean, there's a couple of

863
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 2: things I'm curious about, you know when, Like, I'm sure

864
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: there was a lot of things, a lot of times

865
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: where you had doubts or you were thinking like, well,

866
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 2: maybe I should get somewhere else, and like when when

867
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: did you know? Like when was the moment you knew

868
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: you had to leave? Stuff like that. So, but we'll

869
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: probably post something on Instagram and or Facebook, and if
