WEBVTT - SummerSlam Fallout 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:07.840 And now your main events. Introducing the hosts Wrestling with 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:15.080 pretty Jeff Dott handing a pretty Prince June. Ladies and gentlemen, 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:21.320 thank you. It's episode two, season two of Wrestling Friends 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.000 and My host Today, Ladies and Gentlemen coming to us 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.600 live from Summer Slam. On the scene, reporter Mr Jeff 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.199 d Jeff, I hear it's amazing out there. What's the 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.400 situation in Nashville. It was a great trip. Thanks for 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.320 sending me out here. Freddy was very beautiful to watch 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.479 the Summer Slam live and in person here in Nashville. 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.320 We had a forty eight thousand people in attendance. Uh. 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.080 If you believe in fake numbers, if you believe in 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.440 real numbers, a lot less. But it's wrestling. We get 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.360 to fudge the numbers. That's how it works. You know 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.680 that that giant was eight foot tall, you know, nine 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.080 million pounds. I got to watch it on lep a 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:05.200 Cock that's French. I loved the show. I thought it 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.479 was great. I by the way, let's let's just get 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.000 right into it. Let's start with with Becky and Bianca 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.679 real quick. I'll say what I thought of it, But 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.600 you got to actually be there, so I just want 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.280 to know, like what that energy was like. But I 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:26.360 loved this match. I thought Becky put Bianca over beautifully 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:31.559 the match they should have had. She somehow pulled off 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.560 the crazy Becky even more effectively than Seth pulled off 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.120 crazy Seth when they were both kind of going insane 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.760 and their storylines at the same time, and maintained her 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:48.200 evil wickedness. And then the match was over and here 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:53.280 comes Bailey with EO SHIAI or Scott the Sky that 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:58.200 they changed it. Yeah, she's gonna and and Dakota Kai. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.360 They came out with Bailey and Bailey wasn't having it. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.560 The crowd seemed like they were hyped for her. And 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:08.720 then she's like, nah, if you shut up, and she 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.280 went right in the ring, which gave Becky this I 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.640 don't think she's gonna turn face. I think she'll maintain 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.960 like her her stone cold, badass heel kind of mentality. 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:24.360 But she goes and gets Bianca's back, and it's like, yeah, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.760 I thought it was a nice story. I I'm not 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.920 saying I didn't like the crazy character she's been playing, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.680 but I felt I feel like it's gone on a 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.400 little too long like most w W stories do, which 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.000 is like Jericho changed his gimmick like every month because 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.799 he didn't want those guys to like dead everything he does. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.280 So I hope this is kind of the evolution of 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.320 her into the next phase and crazy Becky uh takes 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.160 a break for a while and she's kind of like 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.960 found herself character wise. Again, what a way to open 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.040 the show too. I love that they started the show 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.560 and we're like, now everybody else has to match that, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.160 and I think that was egotistical competition healthy ego is 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.120 It really sets a bar high and a lot look, 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.960 not every story they told to get their work, but 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.680 this one did, and the majority of that weight is 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.160 on Becky. For sure. She's the more capable actor, she 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.640 has more experience in the ring, she's the she's the veteran, 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.040 and she's probably the most over female wrestling wrestler in 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.360 the business. I don't even know if you can argue 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.480 right now. Yeah, I don't know if I feel like 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.720 even in Japan they probably got big love for you 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.680 know what I mean, even though Oska is probably their 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.360 number one or whoever it is. But it's mostly on her, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.680 and I thought she did this beautifully, And like I 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.640 said before, I hope it's the end of the story, 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.760 not in a bad way. I just don't want them 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.760 to beat it, beat it, beat it until you're like, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.600 oh my god, here's crazy Becky, and that can happen 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.960 at that company. But maybe not anymore. I'm not without Vincy, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.000 I think, because here's what, here's the tithing I noticed 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.040 in the Thursday No Arc match. Like I said, no, 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.560 but sure Becky and Bianca go out. They have a 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.960 great match. It was exciting, it was all overs in 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.360 the ring, is out of the ring. You got to 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.120 see a lot of good stuff. Is pretty cool. Then 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.160 the respectful finish with the handshake, which I liked. That 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.040 also might seem like there's kind of an end of 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.479 a storyline there. And then when Bailey's when when that 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.479 music hits and that stable comes out. Also that says 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.000 Vince is gone, because my buddy that was with me 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.839 said that they've pitched that stable to Vince before and 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:33.200 he rejected it. Yeah, months ago, sorter with the scoop. See, 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.920 I got in there. I'm doing my job. You get 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.000 you put me to work, I'm gonna work hard. So 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.040 I guess they've pitched that stable to Vince before multiple 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.000 times and as long as months ago, and Vince kept 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.640 saying no, no, no. So what a way to start 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.039 summerslant you just get like the most over wrestler and 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.960 the most over female wrestler for sure, a great match, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.360 the finish that I think most people wanted, and then 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.520 also you get like a big surprise return. That's that's 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.919 pretty fun, great, great open. You just reminded me some 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.600 Can I tell you the coolest Eo Shari story ever? 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.960 Of course? All right, so there was an episode of 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.000 an XT and I don't think it was a TV show. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.000 I think it was just a house show because this 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.640 was like recorded on someone's phone and eosharizing a tag 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.120 match and she's waiting for the hot tag to go in, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.760 and some racist prick in the crowd like just some 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.279 a hole douche bag and so no business here, and 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:35.479 you hear him yell go back to China, and she 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.120 throws a look over her shoulder and she goes, I'm 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.080 Japanese bitch, and then takes the tag and just and 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.040 the whole crowd just swarms this guy verbally and just 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.000 owns him and clowns and like, oh, they're all over 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.920 this poor bastard. He's like, I'm a racist piece of ship. 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.680 Got on, it's such a beautiful, so good at racism. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.560 He doesn't even know the difference between all the Asian 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.800 country is. Let's talk storytelling real quick. In the ring 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.799 and out of the ring with Baron Corbin and Pat 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.120 Pat McAfee. Celebrity matches are the hardest ones to pull 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.560 off unless you're the miss. The miss can make everyone 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.640 look at me and shout out to Logan Paul. Let's 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.840 get into that next. But my gosh, Logan was great. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.320 But this was a story where I felt, and we 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.160 said this on the podcast, that Baron had to win 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.160 or happy Corbin had to win. Of course, not not 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.200 the Baron. He had to win. I didn't see how 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.560 they could do it, and based off the story leading up, 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.800 I felt like that was the way to go. There 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.520 was a point in the story building up to this 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.480 where Corbin kicks McAfee dead in the balls and what 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.320 they did in the finish for this match in order 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.880 to get a guy who's not a wrestler and not 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.479 a good fighter, and everyone knows Corbin is a good 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.159 wrestler and actually a legit. He's a legit black belt 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.160 in jiu jitsu, like he's one tournaments. He know, he 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.320 knows what time it is. Dude, He's no joke. So 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.400 the only way to beat him would be for there 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.560 to that have to be some sort of tomfoolery, some 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.600 sort of evil evilness to go through. But the baby 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.440 face can't do that, but he can get revenge. And 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.520 so when the referee got hurt, a love and referees 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.000 get hurt and the wrestlers have to turn their attention 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.320 to the referee and he turns his back. McAfee gets 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.360 revenge and gets a sweetball shot in there helps him 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.560 get the finish one to three. And I was actually like, yo, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.680 this was the one match I was gonna hate, and 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:49.680 I totally bought the finish. Back in the old days 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.880 when Josh Wolf and I were on Friends in the Wolf, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.280 everyone hated Logan Paul. This guy was going to suicide 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.760 forests and making fun of people for one to kill 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.640 themselves and then their life because they were in too 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.520 much pain. Everyone hated this guy. And he was a kid, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.600 and kids do dumb stuff, and and I did dumb 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.400 stuff when I was a kid. But when you're streaming 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.680 it all. All your mistakes are the biggest mistakes of 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.560 your life. And I've watched this kid over the years 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.240 grow up, not just as we all do in in age, 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.000 but he's become more mature. And I've seen him do 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.600 some interviews which I'm sure we're to change the narrative 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.080 on him, but he seems to be walking to talk 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.560 a lot more than than just talking it. And then 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.320 he said he was gonna do w W E and 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.480 everyone grown whether they growned, it was an inside green 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.319 like yeah, okay, good luck. Inside they're like, here we go, 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:45.160 another celebrity map. That's how I felt. I was not. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.400 I have was in no way of rooting for Logan 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.880 Paul in no way shape or for him. I'm fully 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.720 for miss all day long. I didn't. I was like, 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.400 I don't even know, I get why you're doing it, 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.120 but come on, man, let wrestlers wrestle. I never and 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.360 had a match you. I never even pitched myself in 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.080 a match because I don't feel we should. And then 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:13.960 here comes this totally committed, good looking pretty jack and 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:20.319 he's full on one throwing caution to the wind. That 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.599 one jump he did outside the ring. I mean, he 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.520 lands so stiff frog flash, I would have been in 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.000 a hospital for three months if I would have landed 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.520 like that, as hard as everyone's ever been on Logan 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:38.040 Pole and rightfully so. He deserves so much respect for 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.640 the amount he committed. And I know he put in 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.960 the time and energy because I know, miss I've known 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.960 him over a decade, He's been a guest on this podcast. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.920 I saw him at Lexi's wedding like I know him. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.200 He sent videos to my kids and talk about me 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.760 their father like I know. I know it. So I 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.920 know Logan put in the time that earned you the 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.960 respect of other professional wrestlers. I'm sure there'll always be 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.160 some that don't want guys like that in there, but 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.320 shout out to Logan Paul Man. I have so much 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:13.040 love for you. You brought everything, you left everything, and 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.520 I can't wait. I hope the next story they do 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.520 for you is is wonderful. I loved this match. I 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.680 thought it was super good. When I said I wasn't 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.400 rooting for Logan Paul, I meant at WrestleMania like I 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.080 was like, gotta have this. But he impressed me so 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.240 much at WrestleMania that I was like, Okay, all right, 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.720 this is guy's doing the work. He's he's got a 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.800 good size, good body, good character. I liked the costume. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.360 I love the uh He's just got a great look, 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.760 you know. And he saved Bruce Lee Black and Yellow. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.560 I was still not sold on Miss. Every time I 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.800 see them, Miss, I go, it's the real world guy. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:45.880 I mean, how long is the Miss have to be 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.600 in wrestling before I stopped talking about the real world. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.120 The ms is a tricky thing. So there's two guys, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.480 one in stand up comedy and one in professional wrestling 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.640 that have a very similar story, and that's the Miss 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.679 and the oh Van and Josh told me about Theo's 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.840 entrance into comedy and how most people just hated him 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.000 because he was a guy from the real world, road 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.880 rules and an outsider coming into their world, and a 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.120 lot of people treated him like crap. And he stayed 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.360 true to his game and really worked at it and 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.360 stayed hard and good and generous to people, and then 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.760 he did well. And Josh always spoke well of that 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.680 journey in that climb, and I remember him telling me 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.440 that and being like, yo, that's like step for step. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.680 What happened to miss like people hated him in that 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.080 locker room, didn't feel he deserved to be in there, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.760 to be in one of the most beloved dudes in 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:41.880 the company. I I'm telling you to this day, I'm 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.840 not saying he's the best, but he's one of my 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:49.559 all time favorites, just on his willingness to make anyone 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.719 and everyone look great and his ability to do so. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.920 He's not just willing his ability to make you. Like 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.760 if I had a match with miss If, you wouldn't 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.520 think because he would let me win, and you wouldn't 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.720 think that I'd spend the next three months in traction, 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.360 even though I clearly would, but it wouldn't be from 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.120 anything he did to me, because he's just I love him, dude. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.320 I know he's not for everybody, but I love him 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.800 and his work ethic is second to no. I feel 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.160 like um when when he speaks, I don't believe anything. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.440 I don't believe anything that comes. It's like, but he's 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.160 supposed to do that, You're supposed to think. That's why 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.120 I think it's so he's supposed to come off like 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.320 a Hollywood fraud, fake scumbag that you just want to 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.240 slap because everybody's doing the rustion of a wrestler is 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.840 what it feels like, you know, it's like that. I 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.319 remember when he was on Real World. He was running 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.240 around the house acting like he was the Rock and 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.280 he's like that, I know, but that's what I still 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.560 see when he's running around the ring, like, look, look, 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.400 who wants to be a wrestler. Every show we do 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.440 from now on, I'm gonna just hit you with like 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.839 your first joke that you ever told on stage that 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.240 just just reminds you of it every single week. Well 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.240 I didn't put on teach damn. Well, I'll find someone 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.440 who recorded it. Don't make fun of people that don't 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.280 need to be made fun of. Just keep that in 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.640 front of your head, bro, and you're gonna be all right. Yeah, 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.200 he's I'm I'm a fan. I'm a Logan Paul Bandwagon 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.120 fan for sure. And I like that he put the 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.800 frog splash in there, bringing the frog splashback. It's always 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.720 been one of my favorite moves. I love the frog splash. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.920 That's a smooth transition. Here comes another smooth transition to 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.720 my favorite frog splash in the game right now, which 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.199 is montez Ford, and that gets us to our tag 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.319 match for last week. I was a bit confused as 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.360 to why Jeff Jarrett was going to be the referee. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.680 Of course, at that moment I forgot that it was 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.240 in Nashville, um, and so now it makes a whole 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.000 lot of sense. He was also in two things for 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.920 two different wrestling things on the same weekend. Confused a 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.200 lot of people. It did, It did, but he's he's 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.920 a legend and free to go wherever he was. I 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.600 still didn't think it was necessary to hap him as 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:58.520 the ref But this, to me was the most interesting match, 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.960 not going in although I was hyped to see it, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.640 but coming out because I thought they overplayed their hand 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.920 a bit. You know when you're playing poker or any 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.040 kind of card game where you where you're having to 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.160 like hide your cards and the other person you just 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.720 know has you beat and they're overplaying it and you're like, dude, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.719 you're not getting it any more money out of me, man, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.240 I fold you should have played that slow. They had 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:28.280 Montez react negatively to what he felt were slow counts 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.600 and show frustration so many times the way I a 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:37.440 patented w w E heel shows frustration and not the 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.840 baby face frustration, which he showed every other time in 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.360 his whole WW career. I didn't want them to do this. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.880 I love tag team wrestling. Angelo's for sure not gonna 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.200 turn hell, and I'm sure he'll be the victim of 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.560 Montez is turn. I don't know why you wouldn't keep 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.320 Tedes a baby face because he's the He's just such 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.040 a baby face to me. But they're doing this and 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.560 they're committed all the way, and you're not talking me 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.600 off this. I don't think you could see it in 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.520 the arena because you're getting to see the whole match, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.680 But on on TV it's a close up of Montez 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:19.080 like pist interesting yelling at the reff. That was not 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.760 how a baby face loses and expresses frustration. How the 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.440 match played, it was very very good, and the energy 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.640 for that was like jack the whole time, which I 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.840 think the US are just good at doing that. All 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:34.840 this just the energy and the whole place just coming out. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.600 They got a huge hype like it was. It was. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.200 It was very awesome. Why does wrestling do this? Why 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.040 does wrestling break up good tag teams? And when we 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.360 were young tag teams, A tag team forever and a 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.600 heel was a hell forever. Now they go baby face hell, 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.160 baby face hell. Oh she switched back to a bad guy. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.520 Oh two weeks later, Oh no, she's actually a good guy, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.960 and now she's teaming up with someone she hated last month. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.400 They're always it's always a heel turn, face turn, and 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.120 then breaking up good tag team tag teams. I don't 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.520 I don't understand it. Well, part of that is your 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.200 generation's fault for loving the Attitude era so much, And 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.600 that's why everybody switches back and forth every three months, 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.240 because you tell every story in the universe in a 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:22.240 three week time rame, so they so quick. So I 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:27.160 blame you and everyone in their thirties. Otherwise, Vince's said this, 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.120 I don't know publicly, but he certainly said it to 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.640 every writer and producer in the room when we every 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:37.640 time we fought for tag team, it's four men for 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:45.720 one match, and that's not cost effective. Every match he's 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.920 paying two men or two women to wrestle for one match. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.600 Now it's he's doubling his cost and he's still only 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.840 getting one match. So it's never been a cost effective 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.000 thing for him to legitimately invest in a tag team division, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.880 and if you look back, he sort of never has 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.639 outside of like six months here and then three years 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.600 no one cares, and then six months here and then 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.000 three years no one cares, and they always break up 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.560 the tag team to kind of end the tag team division, 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.720 and then just two guys have it and a bunch 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.480 of random guys team up once in a while to 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.959 wrestle him until another tag team comes up, and then 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.879 they build them and then those two go and all 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.879 of a sudden, yeah, there's a tag team division, and 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:28.720 then they win the new title and the other team 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.920 breaks up and one goes face and goes he and 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.920 the division's gone again. But it seems like a good 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.119 way to use your your locker room, because isn't a 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:37.960 ton of wrestlers that are just sitting around and going 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.680 when am I gonna get my thing? When am I 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.639 gonna get that? Was? That was the smart argument that 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:44.680 a lot of the writers made, which was, well, you're 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.880 not opposed to doing random you know, eight man tags, 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.560 why can't we just build a tech And he's like, well, 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.640 that's when we don't have story, and the writers like, yeah, 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.560 but we're we're giving stories. It's just so so you 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.880 don't have to worry about that problem because here's twelve 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.360 just for these two guys alone, and then this guy 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.399 over here he wrote seven just for pri bow in 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.240 Carlito like so, but it just never was a philosophy 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.359 that that we could get through. And I don't know 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.520 if that will ever change. But I know with the 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.600 amount of tag teams they have right now, between Street Profits, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:25.520 New Day and the USO's just those three, you have 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.439 matches that people will watch and be compelled to watch 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.160 all the time. And you can help build the less 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.640 established ones if you really want to try with Otis 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.119 and Gable and you want to try and and you know, 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.960 give them some television time to say you feel they're 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.560 worthy of it. You have three different teams to build 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.800 them on. But four men, one match, even though he's 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.680 willing to do eight man tags every single week on Rock, 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.320 I don't I don't mind it, Like I'm just I 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.800 think again, going back to my childhood, like like I 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.760 love a tag team. I love Ay, I love two 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:13.320 dudes that dressed to like to do moves together, Foundation, 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.680 the Four Horsemen, the Hardies, Edge, Oh wait, we gotta 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.160 talk Edge. I loved the pop when he came out 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.600 to the old school Edge Fire entrance like oh, so 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.439 I just if gang Grell would have been like dropping 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.000 from the ceiling, like oh, it would have been amazing. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.640 But I love that and that was the biggest pop 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.480 of that whole segment. Unfortunately the match didn't get that 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.560 much love. But they really did have to tell this 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.199 story on the fly, and it it is. It is 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.360 what it is. You can tell great stories father Son's stories. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.199 They're not able to right now. But I think a 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.760 big part of that was due to injury. Um if 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.640 it's not, then that's just on them. But I love 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.320 seeing Edge come back. I love seeing him as a face. 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.679 I want to see him destroy that faction that he 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.960 built because I don't like that faction at all. I 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.400 don't think it works. Yeah, I just I don't think 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.720 it works. I don't think you can have uh devit 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:11.879 Is or Finn balor as as the voice of that group. 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.880 And I don't know if Damian Priest is a dent there, 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.800 although he's pretty dope on the mic man He's speaking 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.040 Spanish and English and just flowing in and out of it, 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.639 so I like him. I just don't know. Once they 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.119 had to take the leader edge away. They should have 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.120 just got disbanded the group and had them all turn 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.119 on each other and figure something else up. Let's talk 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.600 about the Bobby lash Let's talk Austin. Yeah, God, Bobby 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.280 Lashley is even from the distance I was sitting, that 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:42.040 guy is a freak. Twe year old is in love 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.159 with him. My twelve year old daughter is in love 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.640 with them. She has a crush on him. She thinks 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.000 he's the most gorgeous guy in the world. She just 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.200 stares at the screen the way I stared at Tina 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.040 Turner when I was her age when she received screen. 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.320 She loves and she's open about it. She's like, that's 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.240 my man right there, like she does not. She loves 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.800 Bobby Lashly, so I in turn love Bobby Lashly. He 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.720 is that big Who did you think was gonna win 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.840 this match? When when it started? I thought Bobby Lashly 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.719 would win because Austin can afford to take that loss 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.080 if he tries to cash in later that night. Who 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.119 did you think was gonna win? That's what I thought 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.440 would happen. And I was like, well, if Vince was 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.679 still running things, I think Theory wins this match, And 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.120 like that's his big whatever, and then we don't see 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.480 him use the money in the bank for a little while. 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.600 It felt like theory just got buried. That's what it 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:38.960 felt like to me. Don't you think that's okay considering 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.119 the story they're trying to tell with him? Yeah, I 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:44.160
