<v Speaker 1>a lot to get into here today for those that

<v Speaker 1>have asked, I believe I don't know this for sure

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>because you never know what might happen, but I think

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.360

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.800

<v Speaker 1>it the details on that here coming up pretty soon,

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>but we'll go over the predictions from last year. Who

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>was a prognosticator, who was a fool, awarded me My

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Prize and so much more so. Anyway, rest of the

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>show coming up after the break Stick Around Observer Live, Man,

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much I made it back on time.

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody, we're live. Sorry about the opening segment. Have

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.959
<v Speaker 1>you ever had one of those days? I started talking

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to the mike and there was no level on it,

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I, uh, I started trying to do the

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>whole open of the show. We'll try to figure out

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>why I had no audio. So if you heard the

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>opening segment, you're like, what's this guy babbling about? Like

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>can't he get a sentence out? I was trying to

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>do two things at the same time, fix something, and

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>got back here, and I don't know what the heck

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the problem is with that thing over there. Who's the

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>engineer over there? You know it is to be the

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>engineer around the host at the same time. Holy smokes.

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I know a producer who's just sitting there, who could

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, use some work right now? Who whose name

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>is Rob Bro? If Robert the producer, there'd be no audio.

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>That's not on Twitter. I go, I told you so,

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and then Rob tweeted, he goes, would you tell me?

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>And boy had a thousand things. I didn't say anything.

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>How about show up for class being number one of them? Well, Yeah,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that's up there. Hey, listen, I gotta talk about the

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>top story today. Why is this the top story? I

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta have something to complain about. And when I heard

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>this brow I mean this one. I'll just read this, okay.

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>This year's schedule for WrestleMania thirty eight week continues to

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>take shape, with p W Insider reporting a discussed change

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>regarding n x T that would have seemed unfathomable just

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago. Well, whoever wrote this article on

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the front page is unfathomable. Now forget a few years ago.

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>The website said that while this is still preliminary in

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the planning this year's n x T Stand and Deliver,

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it's currently planned for Saturday, April two, on the first

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>night of WrestleMania thirty eight. While the venue is yet

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>to be determined, the idea is the show would be

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a matinee running from noon to three. If that happens,

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it would be the first time since n x T

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>began running events during WrestleMania weekend that one of its

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>centerpiece shows wouldn't have its own night. P w i

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Insider also reported the preliminary land is there the Hall

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of Famos ceremony and Freya, who cares about that? All right? Listen,

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>matters a little bit. List hold on a second, bro Okay, listen.

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I never worked for Vince McMahon, but I know a

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of people who have worked for Vince McMahon, okay,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and they all say the same thing, and that is

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that when you work for Vince McMahon, this guy is

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>out of his mind. Okay. I saw the other day

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>there was an article. I can't remember where it was,

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the headline was, w E is Vince

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>McMahon still exercises at seventy six at three am? Apparently

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a news story. But the point of this is

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>this guy. It's like, you know, let's see like collapses

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>and naps or whatever. I mean, it's seven for this guy,

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and so when you work for him, you know expected

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.239
<v Speaker 1>to seven for you. If he calls at four am,

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>you better be ready to take the call. It's like,

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this guy lives breathes the total w W E bubble.

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>All right. When you live and work work in a bubble,

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I've heard what happens is you believe that everybody else

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>lives and works in your bubble. So if you're if

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you're Vince, you know you've got this idea that well,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, underesting for living and everybody, Bro, nobody wants

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Nobody wants to watch w w E for

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>nine hours on his Saturday. Okay, maybe Vince does. Maybe

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>his uh you know, his right hand man are like, yeah,

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>great idea of Vince. You know, maybe there's some real

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>hardcore stand up for w w E blokes that just

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to watch from noon to ten o'clock at night.

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>But bro, here's the deal. You can do whatever you want. Okay,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>but this is not the real world. Let me tell

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you about the real world. Okay. So every year we

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>do a Royal Rumble post show and my buddy Mark

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>joins us on the show. It's Brian, Vinny, Craig and Mark. Okay,

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know if he's heard the Sunday Brian

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and Vinney Show. But the show starts and I explained

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody that, well, we're gonna do our normal show this week,

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>but next week things are going to be different because

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>this Saturday is the Royal Rumble. Vinny then had a

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>nuclear meltdown because life and double booked him. He couldn't

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>do Saturday, and so then none of you were privy

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to this where there was a text chain with myself

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and Vinnie and Craig, and Craig's like, bro, do we

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>have to do Saturday? Why do we have to do Saturday.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, dude, Saturday we go right after the

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Royal Rumble. We're gonna have multiple more viewers and listeners

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>than if we go on Sunday. Vinny can't go on Saturday.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Craig would rather go on Sunday. I talked to Mark.

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Mark don't even know it's on Saturday anyway. Long story short,

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the Royal Rumble post show is not gonna be a

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>post show this Saturday. It's gonna be a post show

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. Craig is like, dude, why are these shows

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday? Like, I got friends, I want to go

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>do things on Saturday night. Now I gotta eight times

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>this year. I gotta sit on a Saturday night and

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>watch a w w E show and then do a

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>post show. And it's like, yeah, that they've decided. Listen

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>if you like it, that's fine, but it is horribly

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>inconvenient to have these pay per views on a Saturday night.

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh hey, you want to go to someone on Saturday, wife, Oh,

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be back at three thirty because there's a

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>w w E pay per view on Saturday night. Now,

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>now some of you go, oh, well, you know UFC

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>run Saturday night. You're right, it does run Saturday night.

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know what if I host a pay per

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>view party on my house for UFC and Saturday Night,

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I got a dozen people that will come over, lickety split,

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I say, I gotta have a Royal Rumble party. Royal Rumble.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I might get a couple of people. But what's the

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>next pay per view? Elimination Chamber. I go, I'm watching

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Elimination Chamber live on Saturday night. You know, may people

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>are gonna come over to the house to watch it. None. Okay,

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>UFC and w w E are not the same thing

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>in terms of gathering your crowd on Saturday night. Elimination

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Chambers on Saturday. All my buddies are gonna go out

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday night. They're not gonna come over to watch

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a pay per view. So now the idea is, well,

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night, April whatever. You know, if you had planned

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night, you want to watch wrestling, like you know,

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>cancel your plans because WrestleMania is on Saturday and Sunday.

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>But now they think that you are gonna sit down

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>at Nude on a Saturday to watch an n x

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>T take Over two point oh show and then you know,

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>get some need or whatever, then come back for a

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>two hour pre show and then a four hour main

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>show for wrestle Media. Bro this idea horrible. I hate

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this idea. Ah got out of my system. How much

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.959
<v Speaker 1>time I got left? And just go go through the

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>break while you're at it. Look I usually do, Um,

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't our first world problems. You're exactly right. They

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>have all the right in the world to change it

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to whatever day they want. There's always been boxing and

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>wrestling or different things on Saturdays. Of course, their events,

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, events to get people to come over. The

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 1>problem with everything with WW right now, except for WrestleMania

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in the name, what else is really gonna be drawing

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>people to come over your house and hang out and

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>watch it and make it like that big event that

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night usually is that aside and our frustrations with

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.599
<v Speaker 1>our schedules and that stuff. Aside n XD stand and

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Deliver being on on a Saturday during the day would

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>have meant something when it was strong. Now it would

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 1>have been predatory. You w W would look at this

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 1>as retaliation. Well, it's our weekend. Everybody's invaded it now

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>for their collectives and they're this, and they're that, and

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>their i WTV and their Fight TV stuff, all this

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of stuff. It's our weekend, and this is what

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do. We're putting the Hall of Him on Friday.

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna load up Friday with stuff. We're gonna do

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 1>n XT Saturday during the day with a huge card

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>with guys like Adam Cole and Roderick Strong and these

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>big things we've been building to blowing up. And you

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>know what, Yeah, you may not like it as a fan,

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>but it's our weekend. We're gonna show it off and

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>then you have WrestleMania that night. It's still not a

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>great idea, and it's still asking fans to really who

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>do want to do other things that weekend? Who do

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 1>want to see other shows? You know, it does limit

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>them to your product, and they may not like that,

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>but at least when the product was strong, you can

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>make the case for it. Now and I hate to

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>say this, And I don't mean to demean anybody personally

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in n x T. It's just like one of those

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>other indie shows during the week when there's like seven

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>of them going on, and you go, do you want

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to see this young guy Tony D'Angelo, you know, he

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>just started his career. You want to see these new

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>guys to Creed Brothers, Like, I hate to say it,

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>like this replaces the Evolved show during the day for me,

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>unless they're gonna do some thing incredible like it's to

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>me twelve noon to three pm, Brian in a lot

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of ways, and I know you have attached your wagon

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to this and feeling though you have to review this

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>show and you have to keep up with it and

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to watch this. I mean, I hate to

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>say it. I think to a lot of other people,

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.959
<v Speaker 1>this is just now another indie show in a lot

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of ways on the weekend, I don't have to watch

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>affiliated wrestling and something. And that's the thing. And I

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think they are and I think they actually do

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of damage to themselves this way. If you

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think I'm crying about this, I'm asking about everybody else

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>who is gonna watch two of these shows back to back.

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I put a poll up on my Twitter at Brian Alvarez.

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Go up there and vote how many people are watching

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>NXC Standing Deliver and then sticking around for WrestleMania both

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>on the same Saturday afternoon back in a moment, it's

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>ever live, all right, now, I got two poles. You

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>ever met a man had two poles? While you're looking

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>at one right now? The first pole on my Twitter

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>at Arez, who is gonna watch n XC Standing Deliver

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>as a Saturday afternoon matinee and then watch the first

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>night of WrestleMania immediately after? Oh, it's not immediately after

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Everyone says whatever, close enough, it's close enough, eight percent

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.439
<v Speaker 1>saying not me, nineteen point six percent saying me. And

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>of course you have the blokes on the comments. Well,

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>real wrestling fans will bro. I am a real wrestling fan.

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm the only one. I'm literally the only one with

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>any association of Wrestling Observer Live, including the listeners that

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>actually will watch n x T two point oh and

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 1>would like to watch Stand and Deliver. But no, I'm

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>not spending bro. Listen, when you when you don't have

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a life, you only have a job. Okay, like Vince.

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Then then that's it. But you know what, a lot

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.839
<v Speaker 1>of people have a life, and no, I'm not gonna

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>take a day a Saturday and go wife and two

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 1>young children. Sorry, i can't go anywhere and do anything

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>with you this Saturday because I'm gonna start watching wrestling

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>at nine am and I'm gonna watch it until you know,

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>ten pm. So I can't put the babes too bad,

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't go nothing. I'm not gonna No, I'm not

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that, and I'm not. The point is I'm not

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 1>the only one. That's my point. I'm not the only

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>one who's like, what are we talking about here? But

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we have lives, do you understand? I need you to

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>look at this from a different perspective, though now you're

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>still gonna come up with the same you know you're

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up in the same place. But still you

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>have to look at this from the aspect of wrestling

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>fans who are going to be going there, who are

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be in the mix down there, who were

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>going to want to see all these shows, the types

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of wake up at nine o'clock in the morning, after

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>going to bed at four o'clock in the morning, after

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>seeing all these shows that take place beginning on Thursday,

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania weekend. Okay, for those people, the question is, say,

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I know F Thee's big gay Brunch is usually Sunday,

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>but let's say that Saturday. Okay, let's say Beyond has

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>got a really amped up show where whatever, you know,

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you got all this stuff going on with all these

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>big names that that are all over the place, all

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the legendary names that are all over the place. To me,

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>forget about you know, it's screwing up your schedule and

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 1>wanting to do things as a home viewer, and I

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 1>know most of the people watching will be doing that.

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>To me, this is all about that day. And I

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>know n x T is gonna have its fans, but

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you're telling me, look at these shows. Will Osprey and

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Nick Wayne is obviously going to be a Joey Janelli's

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, spring break main event at night, but let's

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>just say they have a spot during the day and

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that's when they're gonna do that match. It will be

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>for some bizarre reason on a Jersey Championship Wrestling show

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>that they happen to be running that weekend down there

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>with everybody else. That's where n x D has got

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 1>its biggest problems. That's where the attention is pulled away.

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>That's where who do you want to see? You want

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>to see j White or do you want to see

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>lash Legend? You know what I'm saying like this? You

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>know you're exactly right with what you're saying, because I'm

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>not waking up and and wanting to see where this

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>product has gone. I'm not doing that from noon to

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>three and then watching Rustlemania at night, especially when I

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>have to watch Rustlemania that night. I don't have to

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>watch n x T. I can find out if it

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was any good. I can hear if it was any

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>good and catch the highlights and care about that. To me,

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the damage that's being done to n x T is

0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>how many people Unless you load this up all of

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a sudden with like brock Lessner showing up at the

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>n x T show, That's where the problem is. Like

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that live show and with all the buzz that's going

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>on down there. Man, if there's three shows taking place

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>at noon, that could very well it will easily be

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the third one that nobody cares about. You know, the

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>long as the show goes, the more I calm down

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and I actually don't care because I ain't gonna watch it.

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Good good, Bro, I can't like this. This is not

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>one where oh I don't have time on Tuesday to

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>watch n x T TV show. Of course I have

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>time on Tuesday night to watch the n XT TV show.

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>But Bro, I'm not spending all day Saturday sitting on

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>my couch. Now. If I went to wherever the where's

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it at Texas this year? Wherever it's ad Alice. If

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I actually went to Dallas and it was like Effie's

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Big Gay Brunch, and then n x T and then

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, some other show, and then I hit every

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 1>single one of them if I could. But I'm not

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>sitting on my couch on a Saturday and swatching wrestling

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>for ten hours. Okay, I'd be absorbed into the couch.

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.439
<v Speaker 1>You're here by those people that like they're on the

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>couch for so longer their their skin gets absorbed into

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the couch. I'm not making it up. I'm not doing

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>this shows now. I will say. I will say of

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.199
<v Speaker 1>the house I am. I am surprised the results of

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>my second poll. I I I better night for w

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:40.200
<v Speaker 1>w E pay per views. Seventent are voting for Saturday

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and are voting for Sunday. Now, it's possible that a

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>contingent of folks from overseas invaded my poll and they're

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>all voting for Saturday because they don't like to stay

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>until five am on on Monday morning. But right now, uh,

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the the poll results show that Saturday is the preferred

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>day for these uh, these w W pay per views,

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.639
<v Speaker 1>which tells me that I may have a lot of

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Twitter followers with no friends or family, or maybe they

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>just like doing stuff on Saturdays. Man, maybe maybe they

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.920
<v Speaker 1>want to do something on Saturdays and you're not gonna

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>sit at home and watch a pay per view, that's

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the point. No, Well, look, some people, you're just killing

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this Saturday thing because it doesn't fit into your schedule.

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>And I understand that, but still, and my my point,

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Mike is, yes, it doesn't fit into my schedule, Okay,

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 1>but I'm trying, hold on, I'm trying to figure out

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 1>how it fits into other people's schedules. Like you don't

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>do anything on Saturday, Like Saturday nights, I was like,

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I got nothing to do, I'll just watch a pay

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>per view. Like you don't have any friends that are like, hey,

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead to eat or let's go whatever on Saturday.

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 1>You don't have any friends to do that. That's actually

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>my question. But I don't feel like I'm the only

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 1>one here. I understand that. But you act as if

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 1>though everybody's got the same sketch, set schedule all the time. Okay.

0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I live in essentially a resort area. Okay, basically down

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>at the beach. There's a lot of random times where

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, you go in and you'll work Sunday through Thursday,

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and maybe you get Friday and Saturday. Often you've already

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.080
<v Speaker 1>gone out on Friday, so Saturdays like your Sunday night.

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's situation is different. I think the question is more

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 1>we should be having. Is this because of traditional wrestling

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 1>used to be on Monday's. Boxing pay per views used

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to be on Monday nights because they wanted to take

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 1>advantage of Las Vegas and people traveling there, and they

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 1>come in after work on Friday and they have Saturday

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Sunday and they would have the big event on Monday.

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>That's when people look back like, well, the Royal Rumble

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>was on Monday night. Yes, that's when they would do things.

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 1>The times and things have shifted, and yes, Sunday became

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 1>the night for pro wrestling. Absolutely, boxing in the UFC

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>became Saturday night things. They tried them on Friday nights.

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Boxing tried on Friday night, it just didn't work. Saturday

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:53.360
<v Speaker 1>became that night. I think it's do you do yourself damage? Overall?

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the better question. Is forget about the

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 1>fact that people will find your event if it's big enough.

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing. If if they had something going on,

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 1>if there was something really strong, okay, that would make

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>more sense to have more events on Saturday. Okay. Did

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this have anything to do with the fact that football

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>season got extended out in the a f C, n

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>NFC title games, which, if if the games go as

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 1>they did last week, w W would have been buried

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.199
<v Speaker 1>even more underground with trying to grab some attention for

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 1>their pay per view that was taking place that night.

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I I don't I don't know, I don't know, but

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I think to put it on people and go, well,

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, does this fit you? Does this fit your schedule?

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, to to some of the people listening right now,

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe not. But I think when you look overall, I

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's I don't know if that's exactly the

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 1>question we need to be asking here, because I think

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of people they go, yeah, I finally

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>get off on Saturday night, I'll go do this and

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't go out. And again, everybody's lives are different.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It's got family obligations and everything else. Because a lot

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of your problems with a lot of this stuff come

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>down to the fact that you've got to deal with

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>family stuff. Ever since they started putting Rustlemania back at

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the start time of what one thirty in the afternoon

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 1>or eleven thirty in the morning, with the hell time

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>they started with about Samania, you started hating this because

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got children's No, it's not I got to deal

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>with family stuff. It's I want to deal with family stuff.

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I just want to go on the ferry

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Islands. Sorry we can't. I'd like to do

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.120
<v Speaker 1>family stuff right now. But I'm working my job, okay,

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I gotta do. Work week Saturday night, you, hey,

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 1>do business doesn't get you know how you enjoy your

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night, Brian, Going out and doing these things with

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 1>your family and your friends is because somebody else is

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>working serving you trying to put out this stuff. So hey, look,

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.680
<v Speaker 1>people work on Saturday's. Okay. People actually have to serve

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.440
<v Speaker 1>people like you. It's not all about you and your schedule, Brian,

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Look look at these. Look at these for saying get

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>out of the bubble. I'm in the bubble because I

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>want to do something on a Saturday night like the

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>rest of them. Is literally what we've come to. People

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do stuff on Sunday. What if people want

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to do stuff on Sunday? And now these people are

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.360
<v Speaker 1>rejoicing over this. You want me to do a poll,

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.200
<v Speaker 1>what day do you do more social activities? On Saturday

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 1>or a Sunday? You better be careful, I will, like

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 1>weld on, you better be careful about asking that with

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 1>social activity when that's a day that a lot of

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.919
<v Speaker 1>people will make sure that they're not working and actually

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>do social activity during the day. Okay. Now, a couple

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of people have noted that having to stay until midnight

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>is harder on a Sunday because there's work the next

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>day than is Saturday. Okay, that's fine, because I do

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>live on the West Coast. I do live on the

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.880
<v Speaker 1>West Coast, but you know, you know, to solve this problem,

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.399
<v Speaker 1>have pay per views go from you know, till eleven

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>like they used to. Right, do they need to go

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 1>four and a half hours and go to midnight or later?

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean ask the question for you. No, they don't.

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Three hours is more than enough time. Wasn't the old

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>deal that, oh, WrestleMania is too long one day, so

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll do two shorter days. Now we're just gonna do

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>two four and a half hour days. So now the

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 1>show's nine hours, Why don't we just do two six

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:01.239
<v Speaker 1>hour days while we're at it, because apparently nobody has

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:05.199
<v Speaker 1>a life. Just keep running them shows all night. You

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 1>know they should do us really stupid twenty four hours

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania, twenty four hours of WrestleMania. Dude, there's gonna

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be a twenty four hour raw before that happens, doesn't

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>bottom out in the ratings. Did you just pretend to

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.439
<v Speaker 1>cry that you watch n x T, because in fact,

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that is your gimmick. So I don't know who you're

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.960

<v Speaker 1>Saturday nights, you know, watching a show in the comfort

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>of their own couch, and then they walk up stairs

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to their own little home studio, and then they get

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:13.720

<v Speaker 1>working out there and with real men like filthy Tom

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Lawler as opposed to people like you on your gilded

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>little boats. So you, you and Craig are gonna be

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:33.240

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>guess who the most has the most hatred and anger

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:40.200
<v Speaker 1>for Saturday night pay per views? Working man Craig Uh huh,

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you know who he's got more anger towards you, and

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it's all built up inside him. After all these years

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and all those nasty said that things you've said about

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:48.919
<v Speaker 1>can I move on? Here? Remembers all of them. He's

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna throttle you. M JF. Fielded a little bastard, and

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>now you're gonna talk about m jeff. It's amazing how

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you two don't hear each other. You're excited for a second.

0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>You know what m JFF wrote. The fact that Satura

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 1>is winning is the prime example of the fact that

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Wrestling Observer newsletter subscribers are virgins and have nowhere to

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>go on a Saturday night. I never said anything like that.

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that's m JF right there. Don't look

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>at me. I slipped one past the goalie. You slipped

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>two past. It's amazing. And then someone immediately asked if

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be in the Royal Rumble. No, MGM is

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be in the royal rumble. Why are people

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>doing this him and Cody? Stop it? Just for that,

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm dear everybody. I guess I should do

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the news. I was gonna punish you all with the

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.120
<v Speaker 1>raw report, but actually Rob was pretty good last night,

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 1>including all at least, if I'm gonna cover one segment,

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna cover the best segment on the show. But

<v Speaker 1>We have Adam Cole versus Orange Cassidy on Wednesday and

<v Speaker 1>Carter against Jacket Time Grizzly Young Vets versus Chase University

<v Speaker 1>Jacket Time Christ that's their name. They both wear jackets

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.199
<v Speaker 1>and they travel through time. What do you want me

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to do? Oh? Add this to the list. Brian Kendrick

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>has reportedly requested his release from w w E and

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 1>is waiting to have the request granted. But I'm the

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>bad guy as usual. Kendrick hasn't been a recent n

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.120
<v Speaker 1>X teacher of five life shows after requesting his release.

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Anything to do with him, Well, you know, I'm I'm

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>upset that n x T two point ohs thing is

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday. I'm not gonna watch it, and I'm vilified

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>this guy want to quit n x T. Scotty too,

0:27:56.560 --> 0:28:00.879
<v Speaker 1>HATTI look Scotty too. Hottie was the one with the

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.679
<v Speaker 1>right foresight there, I think, to see what was taking place.

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you what, if Spanky is released, I

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 1>look forward to seeing be inducted to the Indie Wrestling

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame next year and seeing him go out

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 1>there on the indies helping people out what he is

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:17.679
<v Speaker 1>seemingly was doing in n x T and being a

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 1>trainer and uh capitalizing on his past. That's what I

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:23.880
<v Speaker 1>would really like for that man, as opposed to being

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 1>told that he needs to look younger as a trainer

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 1>or whatever the hell it is that they do there.

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 1>But I can't figure out is nobody that, not one

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>person there thought of putting Spanky with Jack at time? Yeah? Yeah.

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Rampage on Friday five thousand viewers at a point to four,

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>which doubled n x T this past Wednesday. SmackDown did

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>where is it? Here two point to five five million

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>viewers at a point six four and eighteen and forty nine.

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Its a very good numbers for Rampage and SmackDown on Friday.

0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Now let's talk about the best. Actually, there were several

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 1>good things on RAW. I'll just do the whole Raw report. Oh,

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty good this week. First we had a Bobby

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Lashly brock Lessner way in, which was great. Rock Lesser

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>shows up dressed as a Cowboy's got a big old

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>hat on and this giant jacket because apparently it's colder.

0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>He's at cowboy boots. Corey Graves tells him you should

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>take some of that off for this way in for

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a fight with no weight limit. Brocks like, I'm not.

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna go nude. So anyway, they weigh in

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and then they go back and forth, and you know,

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Brock calls him Bobby who, and you know, Bobby's all

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>frothing in the mouth. He can't wait to kill this

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>guy at the pay per view. It's funny because if

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>if you showed a normal person this that didn't know

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 1>anything about w E, they'd go like, man, I hope

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Bobby just beats his ass because Bobby comes off as

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the bullied baby face, but in this story, Brocks the

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>baby face and Bobby's the heel. It depends on what

0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 1>world you live in, and my world, Bobby Lashley is

0:29:56.880 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the complete baby face in all of this period. Point plank.

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 1>That's it, and that's all. And I think we know,

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>like Corey Graves was cleared because at some point brock

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Lesner is going to kill him. Then we had Bianca

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 1>beating Zalina and they're teasing that she will be the

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>first person in twenty four years to repeat as a

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Rumble winner, because in fact, multiple person's people have repeated,

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 1>just none in the lass twenty four years. We had

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Damien Priest and Kevin Owens. You got to watch The SmackDown?

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you see that show? Do you guys watch the SmackDown? Anybody?

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Mike SmackDown was on the road. They's a horrible finish

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:38.960
<v Speaker 1>where Natty stomped on what's her face and got d

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Q for beating too much ass. Well, you know it

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>must have gotten over because he did the same thing here,

0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens beats Damian Priest. So here's the thing. Remember

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I said it was many a season, So now Ron

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>SmackDown could be on the same brand. Well, they sent

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.719
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Owens and seth Rawlins to SmackDown on Friday and

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they worked as baby faces, and you know, two point

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>three million people watched the show. So now Kevin Owens

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>shows up on Raw to face baby face Damian Priest.

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 1>But now everyone thinks Kevin Owens is a baby face.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Plus they booked Damian Priest like an idiot. He gets

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 1>d cute for stomping on Kevin and not breaking. They

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 1>booed Damian Priest out of the building. He walks out.

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 1>All I rate the match was good, but it's w

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>W E booking. They beat him. Why they beat him

0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>with Kevin Owens last week? Why if you're just match

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just so completely stupid and ridiculous. When he keeps

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 1>getting d cute anyway because he can't like hold himself together,

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that's when they should have threatened him with the title match.

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta put this title up on the line

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and if you get just qualified, you lose it to Owens.

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 1>They never had to pin this freaking guy, but this

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>is what they do. It's just stupid, stupid. We had

0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Dana Brook rear Ripley Live Morgan, it's too mean it

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Nikki and Carmela. This is the one to watch everybody,

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>if you have if you have a friend who thinks

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 1>wrestling is real. And I got the match to show

0:31:55.840 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>them to twenty three and they botched ninety spots. Was

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty amazing. And then re Ripley submitted Carmela. So both

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>both of the tag team champions were defeated on this

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 1>show by individuals who will not be teaming up to

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>get a championship match, although maybe they will. But we

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 1>had the greatest thing all time, all my life, the

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Healpha Academy Academic Challenge, which was awesome for a million reasons.

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>So Chad Gable and Otists come out and they're gonna

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 1>do a spelling bee with Randy Orton and Riddle and uh.

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>This may have been the highest rated segment on the show.

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 1>So Riddle and Randy come out and uh and Chad

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Gables awesome on the mike. By the way, this is

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the best. This was the best Chad Gable of his career.

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So Otis has to go first, and the word he

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>has to spell is a mental which is something about cheese. Okay,

0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>So I never even heard this word I would not

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have been able to spell it. And so the gimmick

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>is that Otis is supposed to be an idiot, but

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 1>he spells it right. So he spells it E M

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:11.800
<v Speaker 1>M E N T L. He shoots spells it wrong,

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>but as a work, he was supposed to spell it right.

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>That's when they said, oh, you spelled it right, Otis,

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and they just keep going. So then we go to

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Riddle In. His word is calibration. He doesn't know what

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>this means, and so uh. The the the funniest, one

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of the low key funniest things in this segment is

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the actual uh definition that Patrick gave for calibration. It's

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>just the biggest hodgepodge of random words. It's like it's

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 1>not even a definition. So Real goes oh, I get.

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like if you're weighing, you're everyone goes ah, he's

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>talking about weed. So he spells it right. So then

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>we go to Chad Gable. He's got a four point

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>oh and you know he graduated college during the pandemic,

0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, two master's degrees or whatever. And his word

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 1>is disillusion. Well, in fact, there's disillusion and there's dissolution.

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:13.279
<v Speaker 1>So Kevin Patrick offers to give him the definition, but

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Chad Gables, I know what it means. Are you kidding me?

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And he spells the wrong dissolution, and so he's wrong,

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's furious, and uh so, now all Orton has

0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to do is spell one word, and they claim he's

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna get one of the most misspelled words in the

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 1>English language. No, it's not separate. He has to spell

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 1>dumbbell and so he says d U M V B

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>E l L and he spells it right and they win,

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and then as great as it is now, Chad Gable

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 1>is furious. He starts screaming at Patrick, it's all your fault.

0:34:57.760 --> 0:34:59.840
<v Speaker 1>What did you say? You gave me the wrong word.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.840
<v Speaker 1>You said it wrong, said it wrong, and I was like,

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:09.240
<v Speaker 1>fun funny, funny, funny, funny, funny. He says that because

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 1>when I was in the spelling b I don't know

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:13.400
<v Speaker 1>if you guys know this or not. I went all

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the way to regionals and I lost on the word philanderer.

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I was in the sixth grade. I don't know what

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 1>a philanderer was, and I thought the guy said philanderer.

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 1>So I spelled p A P H I L A

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 1>N D E r A, No, it's e er what

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.399
<v Speaker 1>you said it wrong. So I was all in check

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Gables camp. He got screwed in his spelling be but anyway,

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 1>otis lost anyway, so they were screwed. But anyway, there's

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 1>a big ker fluffle and everything like that. And then uh,

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we have Randy Ordon versus Chet Gable, which is awesome.

0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Great Matson went fourteen minutes and then Randy Jordan gives

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:51.360
<v Speaker 1>him the greatest r KO ever right on literally the

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>top of his head, so he's dead. And then they

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:58.280
<v Speaker 1>announced it next week, which is preposterous because the baby

0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 1>faces one, Chet had Gables idea. Now they get to

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 1>pick the next idea. It's two out of three, so

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a scooter race. It's a scooter race in its

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:13.160
<v Speaker 1>academic challenge because in school, I mean, you gotta go

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.399
<v Speaker 1>to pe. So the point of this is it's two

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>out of three, so Chad Gable and ODIs have to

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>win the scooter race. So we got two weeks in

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a row. This was the best thing on w w

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 1>E TV, like as far as like creativity and and

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, writers and everything like that in eons, Like

0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you gotta go back to Rick Flair on

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>on Musical Chairs Chas, oh Man, this was the greatest

0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 1>And don't even tell me that I'm just wanting to

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 1>say that I'm right. You all know, you all know.

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>This segment was awesome. Everything they took away from otis

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>they slowly is coming back with him in this goofball gimmick. God,

0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it was great. Then we had uh alexiblist segment absolutely sucked.

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.720
<v Speaker 1>A j bea Dawson theory seventeen minutes. It was good,

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>but we did not need like six minutes of of

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Austin theory. Working the guy over a j one with

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:09.399
<v Speaker 1>four arm Becky Lynch and do Drop interview. They did

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 1>like the face to face like you do on on

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Rampage or UFC or whatever, and it was good. De

0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Drop was really good. Becky was good. I thought this

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:20.839
<v Speaker 1>was a very very good segment. We had the Ray

0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and Dominic Street Profits deal, which is dumb. This is

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the only thing they're doing to build up the Royal

0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Rumble is these nerds keep rustling each other and then

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 1>throwing each other over the top rope. That's like you're

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:34.560
<v Speaker 1>built to the Royal Rumble and Ray can't figure out, Wait,

0:37:34.600 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean, my son could throw me out.

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>What do you think you can tie? You can't tie

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Ray along? How many rumbles have you done, buddy? And

0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:46.440
<v Speaker 1>then Maurice's extravagance of course Edge and Beth Phoenix ruined

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:50.399
<v Speaker 1>the party and and beat up some security guards. And

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not here after the break, I love y'all

0:37:55.320 --> 0:38:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Observer live back on the show. My sympathy V here

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:14.400
<v Speaker 1>with you. That empty chair right there is where the

0:38:14.400 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>big boss Man, Brian Alvarez used to be. But he's

0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>got some some things he needs to take care of

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>as if it was a Saturday night. Already, boss Man

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>gone out of here. But don't worry, he will be

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>back with me tomorrow in that chair right there, hosting

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.560
<v Speaker 1>this show. And a couple of notes before we get

0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:36.319
<v Speaker 1>out of here for everybody, for n XD talents, because

0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Brian said this at the beginning of

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the show. Scheduled for the SmackDown tapings tonight or for

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Friday SmackDown tapings, p w I Insider reporting that EO Sharai,

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Dakota Kai, Robert Strong in l a Night will be

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:53.200
<v Speaker 1>at the SmackDown tapings this Friday in Kansas City. This

0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:57.800
<v Speaker 1>would mark Sharai's first main roster match since Survivor Series

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nineteen. Think about the time on that,

0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Think about how ridiculous that is. And also another little

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 1>note here following up with some things that took place

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:09.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Game Change or wrestling shows over the weekend.

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 1>As a lot of people know, but he starts, looks

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>like she was scheduled to be in the Battle Royal.

0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Nick Wayne was certainly scheduled to be part of the Scramble. Unfortunately,

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:22.640
<v Speaker 1>as has been reported now, an anonymous email was sent

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to the New York State Athletic Commission on Thursday morning. Uh.

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Since Nick had previously worked the the IMO night show

0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 1>that g CW had held in Queens, they didn't think

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it was going to be an issue with him appearing

0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Apparently somebody dropped dime to the New

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>York State Athletic Commission, and unfortunately for Nick, he found

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 1>out during fourth period at high school. So you want

0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 1>to see how that ruined his day and how it

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 1>ruined his weekend. Uh, there it was. But as we

0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:54.280
<v Speaker 1>also mentioned, with what Joey Janella put online on Twitter

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>saying that they were going to make this up, to

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Nick and trying to schedule a match against anybody he wanted.

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Nick chose Will Osprey will aspreys for it. So maybe

0:40:03.920 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>wrestle Mania weekend we get to see Nick, Wayne and

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:09.320
<v Speaker 1>will Osprey and uh. I think for anybody who decided

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to be a cop caller on this too, they can

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:15.720
<v Speaker 1>go get bent. So that was are my only words,

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and we shall talk to you again after a while.

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>You have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 1>on the eight Side Network
