I don't know if 0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:00.720 he's being sarcastic, but I got shows. We're the material 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.120 that I need to fit into an hour. And I 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:09.000 will say this, if you don't like complaining, I suggest 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.560 you just don't listen to the first at least half 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:17.720 of this show. I am mad, but we'll get into that. 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.959 We got dynamite tonight SmackDown Friday All Out coming up 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.480 this weekend. NXT Last Night.

But we 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.280 can discuss that a lawsuit has been filed against ae 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:57.080 W by Kevin Kelly and the Tate Twins. When I 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.960 first heard the story, I was like, who are the 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.600 Tate Twins? Well, they're the boys.

But I'm not. I am not. I freaking 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:39.520 hated NXT. I absolutely absolutely hated that show. Do you remember, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:44.599 probably about four years ago, like I just quit reviewing NXT. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.360 It was like NXT two point zero. 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:47.880 Yeah, if I was gonna have a day off, we 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.160 didn't have to do this anymore. 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.200 I was so sick of this show and I quit. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.400 And then you know, they ended up revamping it and 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:59.040 I'm getting a lot better, and I keep I've said 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.760 it over and over again, like I so badly want 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.040 to like this show, and it's one of those deals 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.039 where for a lot of people, it's probably not a 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.600 big deal at all, but it just absolutely drives me crazy, 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.600 and it's something that would take seconds to just fix, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:21.480 and they won't. I watched that show last night, and 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.800 I'm not going back. I refuse to go back. But 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.080 it was about, I don't know, halfway through I started 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:33.320 to notice not a single time did they identify anybody 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.720 in any backstage segment on this show. No, people are 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.680 just showing up and they're talking. And I've said it before, 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.480 like either put a graphic on the screen or somebody 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.040 needs to say somebody's name. All right, I'm not that 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.920 old I don't have brain damage. Okay, I know who 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.320 most of the people are in the show, but I 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.720 still don't remember everybody because there's like ninety people on 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:04.560 the show. What is the frickin' bookworm's name? God help me? 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:05.800 What is his name? 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.080 Do you want me to tell you? 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.560 What is it? Thank you? Deon Lennox who. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.880 I Deon Lexis earlier when I was trying to figure 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.000 just sitting. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.760 There on a box and then he walks up and 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.960 makes some comment and walks off. It's like his third 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.600 appearance in six months, third appearance in six months. They 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:27.440 don't identify the guy. And then the real pinnacle to 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.320 me was they had a segment in the back and 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.280 I am not making this up, as God is my witness, 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:41.720 there were thirteen women on the screen at the same time, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:49.560 thirteen They didn't identify anybody. And at that point I 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:54.520 was like, you know, forget it, screw the show, Like 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.760 why am I watching this? And you know what makes 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.680 me so mad about it? Forget me, okay, forget me whatever. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.480 You want to troll me or you're just stupid. I 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:02.960 don't know what the difference is, Like, I don't know 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.520 which is worse. Are they trolling me or are they stupid? 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:10.840 Like which is worse? Okay, fine, forget it. You realize 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.120 they were like a month away from them moving to 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:19.480 the CW. The CW is on network television. Okay. I'm 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.439 not saying that they're gonna get like a billion viewers 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.040 or anything like that whatever, but you know there's a 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.640 good chance that you're gonna get some new eyeballs on 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:31.120 the CW and you're just gonna throw out eighty different 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.520 people and not identify any of them. Yes, we gotta 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.679 do your new viewers. You know you're gonna get no 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.480 new viewers. Why is this so hard? I went back 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.040 during the commercial break because I was like, am I 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.000 out of my mind here? I went back and I 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.199 turned on Raw. Okay, you know how ROS starts, and 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.560 it starts with Wayde Barrett introducing the fans to Joe Tessitur. Okay, 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.400 he says the guy's name first off. That's a good 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.439 start to this, like identify the guy verbally, and then 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.720 there's a giant cry on there, Hey Joe Tessitour. Wow. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.680 So what's next? Okay? Next is a scene where everybody 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:15.800 enters the building. Okay, who enters the building. Gunther, Gunther 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.840 right there on the bottom of the screen. The world 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:24.679 champion got identified. Gunther. Okay, you know what walks in next? 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.480 See him Punk? See him Punk right down there at 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:32.480 the bottom. Hey, that's CM Punk. See him freaking Punk 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:38.960 gets identified? Switch that. Next, there's the bookworm. No freaking clue. 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.080 This guy is no graphic. I have no idea. No 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.360 one says his name, like, he's just a guy doing skits. 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:52.040 I'm like, whatever, why do I bother? What's going on here? 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.080 What are you doing? Bro? I've told this story a 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.880 thousand times. What I was a kid, maybe five times. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.960 I've told this story more times than than I I've 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.440 identified that bookworm.

I still invested in 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.080 a title maker so the viewers could know who everybody was. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.200 These nerds, Oh, everyone knows the bookworm. You know, he's 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.160 been on TV three times. He's the guy he takes 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.200 his glass off, He's Superman. You told me his name 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.560 twenty minutes. If I don't remember his name again, how how 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.480 am I supposed to remember a guy's name that's been 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.480 on TV three times on a show with ninety other people, 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.800 And don't say I'm the only one. So anyway, have 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:37.439 some respect for your audience. Identify people, Tell people who 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.760 everybody is. Maybe they'll kind of start to get into 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.160 the show. Thirteen women, dude, And the only one I 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.959 knew was Brintley Reechs because someone actually said Brinley. If 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.480 I knew that, if I can remember who that was, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.000 and I had like a peel box. I'd send him 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:58.520 money for identifying Brintley by saying Brinley. God, you realize 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.280 how many old people watch that show. They are worse 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.000 memories than I do. How I ain't supposed to remember 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.840 the bookworm. I made it through that whole thing done 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.360 without swearing. I'm probably not even done yet. So anyway, 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.719 I was so angry when the show was over. What 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.000 a waste of my time. God, Sidney, you have to 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:19.840 pause the show fifty times to try and remember who 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.680 someone's name is so I can write some crap and 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:26.080 a stupid report nobody reads. God, what a life? 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.640 Well, I mean I read it, which is why I 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.400 knew you were going to be so angry today. You've 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.280 ranted on that immediately as soon as you started typing 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.520 away there for the review. And by the time they 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:43.240 got to the famed kitchen of NXT where Ashanti Viadonas 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.480 was meeting up with Brindlee and her friend and whoever 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.680 else it was there, Eddie Thorpe, you were done with everything. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.000 I was done. They then they sprung the women on 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:54.600 you and. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.160 Spittake here goes. If it's a new or relatively new face, 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.360 identify them, But when it's true or Charlie Dempsey, why 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.080 do you need to identify them? Because you might have 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.120 someone tuning in for the first freaking time and we're 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.680 going to c W. We're changing networks here. They identified 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:19.200 c M Punk CM Punk. They identify gun thro the 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.440 world heavyweight champion. You know, they're gonna identify when he 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:28.560 comes back, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch. They identify everybody because 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.840 if you're running a business thinking, well, I got all 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.680 the viewers I'm gonna get, we ain't gonna get anymore. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.400 Who cares? You should be doing that show thinking every 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.440 day ten thousand new people are gonna tune in. They 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.040 probably won't, but what if what if they don't like 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.840 something on TV? They tune into your show and they're like, 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.760 who's that? Who's that? Who's that? Who's that? What's going 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.800 on here? I'm gonna go watch Dawson's creak. I'm out 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:58.600 of here. Observer Live, you get a ship the dog 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.000 in the mom mean. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:17.560 Time, you were listening to wrestling Observer Live with Brian 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.920 Alvarez and Mike simper viv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.680 You know he had a couple of idiots in here. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.560 They don't get it. But then we got smart people 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.520 like this guy here, he goes, I mean NFL games 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.920 do it every game. They even I D Patrick Mahomes. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.840 And this guy says, they even I D Taylor Swift 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.640 when she's in the stands. It's kind of an industry, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.800 and this industry standard even at the most amateur level. Yeah, 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:52.560 you're right speaking. That's why it's annoying that Mike perv excellent. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.080 You couldn't you couldn't have. You could not have been 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:00.520 a bigger more hunt. That's what it says, Mike. Now 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:08.359 you dirty. It was on a split screen, you know something. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.720 Never that was the most amazing moment in the history 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:16.240 of this show. I get mad because, okay, how many 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:17.320 brands are there in WWE? 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:18.240 Three? 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.879 Okay, so the two brands with the absolute biggest stars 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.199 identify all the big stars, but the third brand with 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.200 a bunch of nobody's nobody gets identified. It's like it's 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.200 done on purpose. Here's the thing. It's either done on purpose, 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.080 in which case they're idiots, or it's not done on purpose, 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.119 in which case they're idiots. There's no option that is 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.360 not they're idiots. Fix it. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.159 Look, you're right, I don't understand it. I don't know 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.239 if they need to have it to the degree of 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.600 trick or any of that stuff. But when it comes 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.080 to a lot of these people, because they are in 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.359 and out so much and you're trying to establish a 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.959 lot of these folks, yes you should do that. On 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.760 top of the fact that it looks esthetically pleasing with 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.840 the graphics that they've been using on Raw and SmackDown 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.080 and some of that auto trickle down to NXT, and 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.320 maybe it will when they hit the CW. I find 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.199 it difficult to believe that they're going to continue to 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:19.680 do this and risk alienating any possible viewers and risking 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.360 you ranting about it every week. 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.240 I don't understand why I have to explain this like 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.520 I'm talking to children, Like somebody was like you expected 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.399 to put thirteen graphics on the screen for all thirteen women. Brother, 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:38.440 take a break, take a deep breath and think, Okay, 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:43.120 all thirteen women were not talking. Okay, four of them did, 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.000 so is it that hard to either a put a 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.080 graphic on the screen when each of them are talking, 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:56.239 or at the very least say the name of the 0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:00.199 person that you're talking to when a shanty the adonnis. 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.760 You can't just say Christ here comes a shanty? Is 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.119 it that hard? Or if you're not gonna say that, 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:07.520 can you just put the guy's name on the screen. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.240 You ever watched like old Listen, Vince is an idiot, 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.159 absolute idiot. Okay, but he knew some stuff. Clearly he 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.960 built an empire and that was a decree. When you 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:25.040 do your promo, you must say your name. I'm Jake 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.359 the Snake Roberts here on the snake Pit, my guest tonight. 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.200 I was watched it yesterday. Jake was interviewing the Honky 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.240 talk Man, my guest tonight. He says, has the stupidest 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.399 name I've ever heard of. I have never heard a 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.919 name dumber than this name I bring to you. He says, 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:47.200 the Honky Tonk Man, what a stupid name. The guy 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.680 comes out, you have no like an idiot watching the 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.639 show for the first time knows the guy's name is 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:58.480 a Honky Tonk man. These NXT nerds, Uh, Let's throw 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.199 Karmen Petrovitch on the screen, not identifier, have her do 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.880 some verbal jousting with some dude we don't identify. You're 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.199 watching the show going. Why do these two not like 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.240 each other? What's going on here? Who are they? Who 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.719 is this person? I'd like to know more about them, 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:16.600 but I don't know who they are. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.840 Stupid or in a case like they did to us 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.880 a while back, when they had six blondes on screen, 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.679 several of them that you hadn't seen in quite some 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.919 time or had been in and out of air, it 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.840 was like, Okay, well who are these people? Who are 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.200 they all? And Brittley Reese is a great example of that. 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.720 You know a lot of those folks. You throw a 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.280 bunch of names on the screen right now, Can everybody 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.760 that's a not a die hard viewer that may be 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.200 listening to this show right now, can they identify everyone? 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.000 There's no way. I doubt that's possible. And the thing is, 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.920 forget about that. The fact is you want. 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.600 To saturate everybody and drive it home and beat people 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.120 over the head with it. And people talk about not 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:06.520 liking that. It's an effective strategy, whether you're WWE or 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.480 any other type of business. We talk about it with aew. 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.560 They swerve a great example of a guy who goes 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.080 out and does all of these things. He's on all 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.560 of these podcasts, he's at this concert, he's hanging with 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.960 this person, and we don't see it. It'll be online. 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:22.720 But they don't beat people over the head with it. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.280 And some AW fans are happy about that. They don't 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.879 want that style. But the fact of the matter is 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.959 it's more effective for AW as a company and as 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.639 business that they do beat over the head with it. 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.720 They do saturate everybody with it. You may not like it, 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.840 you may not bite on it, but guess what, somebody 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.600 that's tuning in may find out that he is doing 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.800 all this stuff that they're not aware of. So again, 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.840 it's a little bit of a different situation, but the 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.160 same sort of thing where sometimes you've got to put 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.200 yourself in the viewer's position and not think that they 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.160 know every little last thing about everything that's taking place. 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.680 Just be professional, not in graphics identifying everybody as below 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:04.800 public access level. That's what it is. Come on, all right, 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.080 I need to move on. You know what else I'm 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:07.560 mad about? 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:08.040 What's that? 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.480 All out is on Saturday? 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.040 It is, but not at one o'clock. 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.800 Dynamites tonight, and brother, we know three matches, we got 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.720 one more added cents yesterday. Why is it so hard 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.800 to have a card. Can someone explain this to me? 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.919 We got three matches Okata versus Kyle Fletcher for the 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:29.680 Continental title? 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.280 How much do he want us to pay for this? 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.639 Mariah May versus Nila Rose and Osprey Orange and Kyle 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.960 versus Pot, Claudio and Wheeler non title. All we have 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.320 announced for this show is MGF gonna be there, is 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:49.120 Mercedes gonna be there, Britt Baker, Chris Jericho, Hangman, Page Swerve. 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:55.200 I don't know. They've announced nothing. So I guess we'll 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:55.760 find out. 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.520 You're gonna get some stuff and give us fifty bucks 0:22:58.560 --> 0:22:59.080 over the weekend. 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.959 Yeah, Ricochet is Shay there? I don't know he should 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.040 be Why would he not? 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:07.920 That would be unfortunate. Why would he not be there? 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:11.119 But then again, why would you not? Why would you 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:13.040 not advertise if he was going to be here? 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:17.960 I don't know. I don't know. I'm baffled, all right. 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.920 Janelle Grant will not appear in the upcoming Netflix docu 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:25.600 series on Vince. According to Brandon Thurston, the producers did 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.480 reach out to Grant's team to interview her for the project, 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:34.160 but were unable to secure her participation. Netflix's documentary group 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.919 made an initial outreach to Janelle's representation for an interview 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:41.800 for this project. A spokesperson for Grant said, despite this, 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:46.040 no such interview came to fruition. I think the fact 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:50.840
