I'm pretty Prince Junior. 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: Let's start the show, all right, dude. First, some news 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: and remember we're not doing the news guy voice anymore. 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: That ship has gone. It's just but I do miss 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: this sometimes. Well I'll send you messages. A w has 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: signed yet another deal with Warner Brothers Discovery. I hate 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: all this merging corporate I know, cyber party for our. 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 2: Listeners, Freddie tell us what that means and why that's important? 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: Why would they care if wrestling goes to Warner Brothers 19 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: or whatever? 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: Okay, I believe studios should be independent. I believe that's 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: the only way to truly make art in the way 22 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: the visionary see art, whether it's professional wrestling, whether it's 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: soap operas, whether it's movies or television stand up comedy. 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: When you have a corporate buyout, you are then beholden 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: to that corporation's philosophies on your art. So your art 26 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: is no longer art. It is simply commerce. It's the 27 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: way Japanese people traded paintings in the nineties like stocks. 28 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: It takes everything magical and special away, and all these 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: critics out there criticize the creators instead of focusing on 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: what the actual problem is. I promise you every writer 31 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: has a script that's not some intellectual property owned by 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: something else. It's an original idea and it's really fucking good. 33 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: And every single one of them has at least one 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: sitting in a pile that can even get read because 35 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: of corporate philosophies or because it has a storyline that 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: doesn't meld well. And it makes art suck, It makes 37 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: wrestling suck, it makes movie suck, it makes TV suck. 38 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: So that's the bad stuff. The good stuff is these 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: creators get a ton more money. If they're smart, they 40 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: put it into their product, back to the business. Aw 41 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: just signed for twice the amount that they did last time, 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: which should mean they can put that money back into 43 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: their product. They can continue to make signings that people 44 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: think are oh, that's a little high. Well, all of 45 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: a sudden, no it's not. It's a bargain because they 46 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: just got a huge ass contract and they can secure 47 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: the talent they have. Now it's still a company that 48 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: is being built. It is five fricking years old. That 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: is so young. Your babies are five. Your babies out 50 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: there are five years old. You give them a little 51 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: more time. They screw up, they make mistakes, they forget 52 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: to put their napkin on their lap, they forget to 53 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: eat their vegetables. Because they're lucky, and you remind them, 54 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: you help them, You give them time. Got to give 55 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: this company time. With a deal like this, they can 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: continue to grow and do big things. Jeff. But that's 57 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: not all the wrestling news out there. WWE has more 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: news because they're even bigger, they have more news. First 59 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: of all, they changed SmackDown to USA, so Friday nights, 60 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: everybody make sure your DVRs are recorded no matter where 61 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: it goes, because they're all AI controlled, but uh. They 62 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: also changed the logo from SmackDown to smack Sound, which 63 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: sounds a little strange and weird, but we're gonna just 64 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: go with it. I'm sure they'll be changing that in 65 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the next few weeks. It is just a lot of 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: people like it. They like the smack sound. 67 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, they like the way it looks because 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: it's and I don't know there's no d n who 69 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: they got this information, but wressel Amy on YouTube is 70 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: reporting that they love their new look and it makes 71 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: them look more modern. 72 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: But I don't know who they asked, because that's a 73 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: strange I know who they didn't ask. They didn't reach 74 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: out to yours. Truly. I did not think it looked 75 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: more modern at all. I thought it looked very nineties. 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: But the nineties are back big time, so that could 77 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: be cool. But yeah, they took the D out of SmackDown, 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: and it's not smack down. They added an extra S 79 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: so it's smack sound. So I'll refer to it from 80 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: now on a smack sound till they get it together. 81 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: But they had their thirty seventh television sellout. Jeff, how 82 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: many consecutive sellouts have you had? Huh, not thirty seven. 83 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm right back down to zero. I think my best 84 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: ever's five. After this weekend in Tulsa, we're right back 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: at zero. So five is my most for sure. That's 86 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: all right, dude. My hit movies went to zero after 87 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,559 Speaker 1: a couple two. I had to start over again. Every 88 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: artist has been there, that's the point, all right. So 89 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: they had thirty seven in a row, dth plus events 90 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: sell out in twenty twenty four WWE. I saw a 91 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: quote from the Miz. He said he's been here twenty 92 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: in the company, twenty years. He's never seen audiences like this. 93 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Think about all these people saying wrestling sucks, but it 94 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: keeps getting bigger and growing more and more, not every year, 95 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: like almost every month. It's crazy. People say Aw's failing, 96 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: and then they get a huge TV deal giving him 97 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: even more money than he had the first time around. 98 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: And there's rumors out there that they got something else 99 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: cooking too. So yeah, man, wrestling is killing it. Don't 100 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: forget unsanctioned. Thursday, we're bringing in another guest. We're doing 101 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: our indie spotlight. This time we're bringing in two those personas. 102 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: Those wrestlers will be coming or lucha votes. They might 103 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: not be luchades. You don't know what they're going to be, 104 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: but they'll be there Thursday, so tune into that. We 105 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: prefer them to be loaches. I'd actually, well I would too, 106 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: that's my favorite. I'm biased, but all I admitted, I 107 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: don't give a shit. Should we get into the Netflix news, Yes, 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: do it, let's talk about it. There's a lot of news. 109 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: Man. 110 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: I feel like Tom Broke. Oh no, I'm not doing voices. 111 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm not here. Yeah, almost got him, almost got him out. Ence, 112 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: almost got it. So the Monday Night contract, Monday Night 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Raw contract with USA is over, which is kind of sad. Dude. 114 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: It's I know they have a home, they have a 115 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: landing pad that's worth much more money. So I'm not 116 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: crying for them. But I remember in the eighties there 117 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: was a boxing show on USA. I think it was 118 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: called Tuesday Night Fights and it had the announcer was 119 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: an X boxer named Sean O'Grady X Champion. He was 120 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: good on the mic. And it was every single week 121 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: and I counted on it every week. And it was 122 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: boxing on free on basically free television, right it wasn't 123 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: pay per view and you would get championship fights, guys 124 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: like Wayne McCullough. Shout out to Wayne mcculloy. I have 125 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: no Wayne now. And then one day boxing numbers started 126 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: to dwindle because of the corruption of the promoters who 127 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: are getting If you guys want to know some good 128 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: shit like, the promoters are starting to get asked out 129 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: of all these deals, and the distributors are just dealing 130 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: with the fighters now and all these scumbag promoters are 131 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: going to be done done those I've been waiting this 132 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: moment forever. Dude, it could save boxing if we get 133 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: rid of these fuckers and we could actually get men 134 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: fighting then that they want to fight and we can 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: see who the best is. So that's awesome news too. 136 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: My only criticism of karma is how it takes so 137 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: long sometimes. 138 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Note a lot of people don't live to see the 139 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: karma happen. Yeah, it's crazy. So anyway, I don't know 140 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: how I gots oh, the end of Monday Night Raw 141 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: on USA, and I eventually Friday Night SmackDown. I don't 142 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: think will be on USA either. I think that's a 143 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: temporary thing. The USA needs wrestling, it's our highest rated show, 144 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: and Friday night SmackDown will I don't know, because Friday 145 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: nights is a tough night for ratings, so are Monday 146 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: nights when football's back. But they've landed at Netflix. They've 147 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: got an eighteen trazillion dollar deal. That's exact number. They're 148 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: gonna be fine, but they're gonna have commercials, And the 149 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: Netflix philosophy is the audience is used to commercials, so 150 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: they won't be mad at commercials, which means you'll basically 151 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: be bringing the existing WWE audience over. I don't know 152 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: how that affects the existing customers already at Netflix that 153 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: are accustomed to not having commercials. 154 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: I don't think that is kind of the idea that 155 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: they want more people who already have Netflix, yeah, who 156 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: don't have cable. 157 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I think, but I'm sure. I'm 158 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: sure they have a more well thought out plan than 159 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: I just came up with in ten seconds. So I'm sure. 160 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure they have statistics and all that. Because Netflix 161 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: is very, very analytical. They gave me some weird number. 162 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm supposed to say this when 163 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: you do a movie for them. They I don't know 164 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: if they're supposed to release analytics. But I was given 165 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: analytics on what Netflix watchers will watch me in and 166 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: what they won't, at least what the analytics tells them, 167 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: what the AI program tells them people will watch. And 168 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: it was like romantic comedy, sexy thriller, or holiday movie. 169 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, well, what if I wanted 170 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: to make an action movie? And basically the response was 171 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: the algorithm will not allow that. And I was just like, Yo, 172 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: what kind of world do we live in? I mean, 173 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I'll give me Shop forty eight now. Yeah. But I 174 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: was just sitting there going like, these are how the 175 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: decisions are made, Like there's no more risk. Everybody sold 176 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: because they're all corporations now, they're not creative people. We 177 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: don't have those old school executives like we used to 178 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: in the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties. My generation was 179 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: the last one that got that because the first studio 180 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: to sell out was Universal and they sold out to 181 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: Seagrums and then Sony bought Columbia and then it was 182 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: just Dominoes after that. But yeah, I keep getting sidetracked 183 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: on all this business stuff and I don't mean to. 184 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: So anyway, Netflix analytics, analytics and Wrestling. Will see how 185 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: that goes. But the most important news of the day 186 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: to me is Monday Night Raw will no longer be 187 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: three hours, Jeff. They're moving it and cutting it down 188 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: to two, which I've always thought is the perfect amount 189 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: of time. It also will mean WWE will not have 190 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: as many I predict they will not have as many 191 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: wrestlers on roster as they currently do because there won't 192 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: be enough time. That's a full hour less of matches, segments, storylines, 193 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: backstage segments, promos in the ring a full hour less, 194 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: which means it won't be cost effective for them to 195 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: carry that many wrestlers. They are now owned by TKO, 196 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: another corporation, and they will do a cost effective this 197 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: wrestler's not being used, cut them, this wrestler's not being used, 198 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: cut them, which gives more opportunities for wrestlers to go 199 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: to AW, to go to another brand if it goes 200 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: out there. Know GCW and MLW are both close to 201 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: maybe I'm not supposed to say this either, but they're 202 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: in talks for TV deals all over town in multiple places. 203 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: That leaves room for me and my promotion, which I 204 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: usually would update on a Thursday, but everything's gotten pushed 205 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: to January, which sucks, but it is what it is. 206 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: But it gives me more time to for people's contracts 207 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: to run out and business like that. So it opens 208 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: up a lot of doors, and it contracts Monday Night Raw, 209 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: which I always thought was an hour too long anyway, 210 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: And I love the cut, but I want to know 211 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: what you think about all this news, dude. 212 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: Well, I will say, like, we're gonna there's two things 213 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: will happen at one time. We're gonna get the text 214 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: messages from our producer Alex, we're gonna be in this group, theed, 215 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: my other rest and thead they're going to go. Isn't 216 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: it sad they let so and so go? 217 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Oh? 218 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: I feel terrible they let so and so go. But 219 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: that's just how it has to be. There's probably gonna 220 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: be cuts, like you can't have that many wrestlers and 221 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: start paying them all this crazy amount male and female. 222 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 2: We're talking about all the different weight classes and divisions, 223 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: all the guys they're not using right now, all the 224 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: women they're not using right now. It's just gonna happen, 225 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: especially if you cut down to two hours. But I 226 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: do think that's how you make a better show because 227 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: you're trimming the fat and so like, I don't need 228 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: seven hours of good wrestling. I'll take four hours of 229 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: great wrestling this last week. Like the episodes they've been 230 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: putting on lately, it especially in WWE, have been absolutely incredible. 231 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 2: And I've read the things on Reddit. I've read all 232 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: the things on the wrestling accounts that have followed. They're like, 233 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: they cut the women's match short, they only had two minutes, 234 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: or they cut it two minutes short Chelsea Green and 235 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: Piper Nim they should have been able to do their 236 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: full match. Dude, they just got to trim things where 237 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: they can. We got a steal cage match for like 238 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: a free show, not a pl e. 239 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,239 Speaker 1: Just give us better wrestling. 240 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: I'm all about more wrestling where the unique type that 241 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: will watch twenty hours a week, if they gave us 242 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: twenty hours, but for the everyday fan and for like 243 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 2: what they're like wrestling to be good, I say, trim 244 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 2: the fat and cut who you gotta cut. So I'm 245 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: pretty I'm pretty optimistic about all these changes as far 246 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: as like match cutting and stuff like that. 247 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: I would love for people to remember when you have 248 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: a match that opens a show like this steel cage match, 249 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: where there's gonna be story and wrestling, where Roman Reigns 250 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: is gonna come out, get his reaction and have all 251 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: these moments in the ring where he's not wrestling, Moments 252 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: where the crowd is cheering, moments where he's sharing time 253 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: with Cody, Moments where they're waiting for the cameraman to 254 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: get in place. This is what adds time to one 255 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: segment that requires time be taken from another because you 256 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: can't plan those out perfectly. Yeah, that it's if the 257 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: crowd's not going to shut up because they're so freaking hyped. 258 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: You can't take that away from the from that live audience. 259 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: You can't. You have to let them release that energy. 260 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: And the wrestlers are pro enough to know. I know 261 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: they like to call them superstars, but I always thought 262 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: that was so stupid. It's so over dramatic. They're wrestlers, man, 263 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: that's awesome. Actors aren't superstars. They're actors. So they're wrestlers 264 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: and they know when to when that energy is fading 265 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: a little bit and then they can move on. They're 266 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: pros at this, so you got it that's gonna happen, 267 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: whether it's a two hour show, three hour show, four 268 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: hour show, five hour show. Pick you pick your hour. 269 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: It's always gonna happen, and it's gonna be the storyline 270 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: that is usually least important that's gonna get cut. That's 271 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: not always the women. I was when I worked there, 272 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: it was men and women's matches that got cut. Undercard 273 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: people's matches got cut. Men's matches got cut to five minutes, 274 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: women's matches that were only five minutes got cut to 275 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: three minutes. 276 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: Like it happens, and what you said last week, tag 277 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: team matches are gonna get cut quick. 278 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll cut a whole match. Yeah, yeah, that's right, Jeff, 279 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: They'll cut a whole match. So I give them if 280 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: you can, and if you can't, you can't. You don't 281 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: have to agree with me, but try and give them 282 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: a little more latitude with that kind of stuff if 283 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: you can, because I feel like they're really trying with 284 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: the women's division, both AEW and WWE are putting effort 285 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: into that. Could they do more? Sure, but you could 286 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: say that about you know, every wrestler you like more 287 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: than they do. That's the news, and that was a 288 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: lot of frigging news. Y'all. But we got storyline as well. 289 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: We've got the Judgment Day. The only thing I wanted 290 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: to talk about on this and we'll talk about whatever 291 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: you want on this segment, is Damian Priest is fighting everybody. 292 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: He's fighting twenty seven people from the Judgment Day. He's 293 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: getting beat up. He's going to eventually fight with Finn 294 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: Balor at Bad Blood and they're gonna squash this beef temporarily, 295 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: but it won't be all the way over. I don't 296 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: think he's getting beat up the numbers game. You know 297 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: how the numbers game goes, Jeff, you know what it 298 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: is When there's twelve comics and eleven of them are 299 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: all picking on one, it's terrible. Well that's what happened 300 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: to Finn Balor until Rea Rip came out with crutches 301 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: and we thought, you know, okay, they're not gonna punch 302 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Rhea and she'll hit them with the crutches and bend 303 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: them all up because her knee is feeling a little better. 304 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: But liv Morgan came out and whipped her ass and 305 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: everybody's getting beat down. Well, now the numbers games too much. 306 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: Everybody's getting beat up. There's only one way to save 307 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: the day. And that's love. And that's what I want 308 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: to talk about today, Jeff. We'll talk about the power 309 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: of love. And for those of you who don't know 310 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: where I'm going, some of you do because you're smart. 311 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: But for those of you who are catching up a 312 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: little bit, look back a few weeks ago, a few 313 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: episodes on Monday Nightraw, a few more than a few, 314 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: actually a few more than a few, and you'll remember 315 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: one man who saw Ria backstage and caught her eyes, 316 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: had a little moment and said, damn, you're looking good, 317 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: miss Ripley. And that was Jay Uso. And who is 318 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: the man that ran out to save the day on 319 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: Monday Nightraw, Jeff, I that's right, USSI came out of 320 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: him and he didn't come out to save Damian Priest. 321 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: He came out to impress rear. He came out to 322 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: show her. Look how much ass I can whip. I 323 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: know you're into whipping ass, because that's what you do. 324 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: Even when you pin girls, it looks like you're about 325 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: to whip their ass.

Now it could become not Raw versus SmackDown, 486 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: It becomes the Bloodline versus everyone. 487 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you just every goddamn match will be somebody 488 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: from the Bloodline. This is a representation of that awesome 489 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: tree that the Rock displayed when they were when it 490 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: was going to be the Rock versus Roman. Right, You're 491 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: getting to actually see these guys and get You can 492 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: then teach the young kids about the older generation by 493 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: bringing some of these guys back that are still alive. 494 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: While they're still alive, and you can introduce the new 495 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: younger generation and they have enough people to actually do 496 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: this dream scenario for you. So it's who's gonna unite them? 497 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: As William said, unite the clans, unite them. That's from Braveheart. 498 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: They have to have somebody who unites them all together. 499 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's Roman because he likes 500 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: to rule with an iron fist. What if it was 501 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 1: someone crazy that came out, who was injured and all 502 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden came out the woodwork. And I'm not 503 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: saying Jimmy Usso would be the right one, but what 504 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: if it was like Jay Usso who brought everyone together. 505 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 2: Well, what it could be is they could act like 506 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: this has all been a swerve. They could be like, 507 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 2: oh man, we were playing along the whole time. Roman 508 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: is the tribal chief and we were just we were 509 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 2: just setting you all up. 510 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: This has been there's been too much violence against Roman 511 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: for me to buy the swerve because they threw them 512 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: through a table. But otherwise, yeah, but they could be reunited, 513 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: and I think eventually they will, and they could be 514 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: like twelve fifteen, twenty dudes deep. You could bring Jackson. 515 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: There's like, there's so many actions you could do, and 516 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: then action would be the largest faction ever we don't 517 00:26:59,520 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: have to. 518 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: Ever, we don't have to like listen each week where 519 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: like listen to Rakishi cry on his podcast. 520 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: About how they're not giving his boys enough time. 521 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: But are you mad, Ai, Yes, it's every week that 522 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: they're not. 523 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: Always mad at a wrestler Brett Hard a few weeks ago. Well, 524 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: Brett Hart's a baby too. You know why they're all babies. 525 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: They're not mad. They're like the old way, and they 526 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: believe in They're in their kids. They want to see 527 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: the right opportunities come. If you were Samoan or if 528 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: you were a Canadian, you would probably be the same way. 529 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: They're more sensitive than you, Jeff. 530 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: I get that I'd be sexitive about my kids, but 531 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: it's like running a little league team. Every parent thinks 532 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 2: their kids should be hitting. My kids should be the 533 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: starting pitcher, And it's not how it works. This is 534 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 2: a team. We all got to work together. You can't 535 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 2: just not only are everyone in Rakishi's family the most 536 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: famous people in the goddamn company, but now it's not enough, 537 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: nothing enough. 538 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: I'm on your side. I completely disagree with Jeff. I 539 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: think everyone should be the most overperson in the company 540 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: as well, So I'm on Rakishi side, it's ridiculous and brat, 541 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm on your side too. 542 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: If I could just get a contract, I just it 543 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: would be my dream to get. 544 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: A contract with contract. 545 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: And then they get a contract w and they're like, 546 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: but they're not using me enough. They're not using me, 547 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: and they're like, well, how come I'm not the champion 548 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 2: of the champion of the champion. 549 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: Then they get the championship. Then they're like, but they 550 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: don't pay me enough. This one totally opposite side, and 551 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: wrestlers will tell you this too. Dude, if you don't 552 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: think you should be the top dude, and if you 553 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: don't see a plan for you to get there, get 554 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: out of the fucking business. That's what Scott Hall said, 555 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 1: Kevin Nasha said, JBL said all the way down the line. 556 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: So on that in that regard, hell not, I'm not. 557 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: I can't be with that, because these guys should, whether 558 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: we think they are or not, is a whole different conversation. 559 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: Like I'm with you on this in the in regards 560 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: to hey, you're not gonna be a top guy, I 561 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: see you as a mid card guy. But in that 562 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: dude's head, if his head was there as a especially 563 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: as a young wrestler. Then get out you should be 564 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: thinking you can be the top dude. And then when 565 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: you have age and perspective and you understand the business more, 566 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: you fall into the position that you're supposed to be it. 567 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: So I agree with you with that, but their mentality 568 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: can't be that going in. The mentality has to be 569 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: more more. I'm hungry, I want more, Give me more. 570 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: I can handle a lot of complaining. It breeds a 571 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: lot of that's every artist. 572 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: And this isn't the business. Did me wrong? 573 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 2: They don't pay me enough for they don't like and 574 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: then like they're not using me, they're not using me, 575 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: and now they cut me. It's like it's like no 576 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 2: matter what, it's the strange, like uh, never enough thing. 577 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 2: So Soko was virtually unknown years ago and now he's 578 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 2: one of the main guys of the main guys.
