Speaker 1: Now your Mate Events. Introducing the hosts Wrestling with Freddy,
Speaker 1: Jeff Died, Hana Furready, Prince Junior.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to a brand new episode of
Speaker 2: Wrestling with Friends.
Speaker 3: What up with you?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: How are you feeling good? I leave soon, but you know,
Speaker 3: I get to stay home for a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Where are you off to? I always ask at the end,
Speaker 2: but where are you off to? This?
Speaker 3: This week? I go to Sarasota, Florida, And then straight
Speaker 3: from Sarasota, Florida, I'll be in Atlanta for a month.
Speaker 2: Oh snap, what are you doing out there? Can you say?
Speaker 3: Shooting a game show called Who the Bleep? Is that? For? Fox?
Speaker 3: And before anything is Jeff, isn't there a strike? Isn't there?
Speaker 3: Are you not supposed to be shooting things? No?
Speaker 4: Game shows aren't involved in that at all. Daddy loves money.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm Jeffrey alden Die and I'm better than you.
Speaker 3: That's right. I'm just trying to be a heal.
Speaker 2: No, it's no, you're you're allowed to. Yeah, it's they're
Speaker 2: not in any of those units, so you totally can.
Speaker 2: And anyone that's got beef with you, you could take it
Speaker 2: up with me, suckers, take it up with you.
Speaker 3: That's what I wanted. I was just trying to get
Speaker 3: some trying to have some edge. Thanks.
Speaker 2: What's the first frivolous thing you're gonna buy with game
Speaker 2: show money? Game show money?
Speaker 3: That's a good question. Probably a car?
Speaker 2: Recycle car in what kind of car?
Speaker 3: Five hundred thousand dollars car with wings? Dude, it's a
Speaker 3: good investment, bro.
Speaker 2: You should get like by wrestling toy. No, get like
Speaker 2: a nineteen seventy one dots in two forty z fair
Speaker 2: lady with the mirrors up on the fenders, and then
Speaker 2: I'll roll up in my two eighties and will cruise pH.
Speaker 3: I was just gonna ask you, when are we gonna
Speaker 3: drive yours around? I want to ride in that thing.
Speaker 2: It's pretty sweet, yeah, man, I mean, look, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be real with you. It doesn't have air conditioning yet,
Speaker 2: but it's coming in and we put the windows down.
Speaker 2: Well that's what you have to do. And I'm getting
Speaker 2: a five speed transmission put into it in a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, swapping out the four banger for the five banger,
Speaker 2: and it's going to be running even better. But yeah, man,
Speaker 2: that's enough sweet car talk, and I'm done talking about
Speaker 2: your money and spending it for you frivolously. The judgment day,
Speaker 2: Sir Dominic Mysterio. I don't think we ever hated on him.
Speaker 2: We just hoped for the best. But this has to
Speaker 2: be far beyond what anyone's expectations were for Dominic. It
Speaker 2: has to be from the company from him. I don't
Speaker 2: think he saw this happening this quickly and getting this
Speaker 2: big of a friggin reaction. No way, was this the
Speaker 2: original storyline. It's certainly adapted, right or am I or
Speaker 2: did somebody go I've got a plan for Dominic Mysterio
Speaker 2: and watching learn?
Speaker 3: I mean maybe because he is you know, he's his
Speaker 3: dad is Raymisterio. So maybe this was always the plan.
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Speaker 2: I just can't imagine. I can't imagine people thinking it
Speaker 2: would work this big. I mean, he's getting bigger reactions
Speaker 2: than Sammy Zayin was. That's that's crazy. He's getting bigger
Speaker 2: reactions than MJF at mjf's last sort of peak.
Speaker 3: It doesn't hurt when you put him in SmackDown raw
Speaker 3: NXT and you paramoun in my opinion, one of the
Speaker 3: greatest female wrestlers we've had in a long, long, long time,
Speaker 3: doesn't hurt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the legitimate, the legitimate, Rhea Ripley. That should be her,
Speaker 2: her call signed the legitimate one because she looks like
Speaker 2: she could actually whip your ass. I look, I'm not
Speaker 2: one of the guys that called it on him, although
Speaker 2: you know what, who this show did call was Ricky Stark,
Speaker 2: which we'll get into later. Yes, but man like, his
Speaker 2: response is undeniable to the point where I'm in on
Speaker 2: it now and now even at home, like me and
Speaker 2: my kids, when he starts talking, we all just go
Speaker 2: ba because everybody else is too man and it's just awesome.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how he did it, but prepare yourself,
Speaker 2: get your umbrella ready for we shower you with praise,
Speaker 2: Shower you with pretty all right, that's all the praise
Speaker 2: you get. The judgment day did come out, and we
Speaker 2: ended up getting to basically get a match between Dominic
Speaker 2: Mysterio and Sammy's Ain is the main event, which we'll
Speaker 2: get into. But what'd you think about this segment? Dude?
Speaker 2: I like him more and more each week.
Speaker 4: Oh you talking about Dom, like, yeah, yeah, dirty domb,
Speaker 4: dirty dumb.
Speaker 3: Oh dirty Dom got the new tattoo this week. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you saw that. I'm so into wrestling
Speaker 3: right now that I'm even keeping up on bull crap like, ooh,
Speaker 3: he's got a new tattoo. I wonder if they'll talk
Speaker 3: about that. That's how how corny I've been lately. But yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I'm very in And also I'm willing to admit these
Speaker 3: type of things that I was the I guess Dom
Speaker 3: hater in the world. You could clip you could clip
Speaker 3: video of me on this podcast, being like he looks
Speaker 3: terrible the outfits.
Speaker 2: See you're saying that, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I said all those things. But I'm as over for Dom.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the right use of that term.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 2: I know what you mean.
Speaker 3: I'm as in on him as everyone else. I'm a big,
Speaker 3: big fan. I like to boo him, I like to
Speaker 3: cheer him on and like what he's doing. A little
Speaker 3: jealous of him with my girl rheo. But I'm on it,
Speaker 3: a big fan.
Speaker 2: Take it easy. Be more jealous of Buddy Matthews, And
Speaker 2: I'm as in on him as I am on that
Speaker 2: beautiful shirt that you're wearing, sir, so there golf shirt.
Speaker 3: Also, you think Buddy Matthews is a big DOM fan
Speaker 3: right now or what's going.
Speaker 2: On with that? I don't think he's worried, bro, crazy
Speaker 2: about look at him, dude, He's not look at his body, Dude,
Speaker 2: he's not tripping.
Speaker 3: He's like, yo, feelings, you know, he's got feelings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his feelings are I'm fine, Bro, I'm fine, or mate,
Speaker 2: he's Australian. I think, yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not like
Speaker 2: tripping out when like the smaller dude gives his wife
Speaker 2: a hug, He's like, yeah, all right, little fellow, Like
Speaker 2: it's not he's not tripping. Buddy Matthews looks like he
Speaker 2: was built from marble.
Speaker 3: That's true. But Rio Ripley says she wants to get
Speaker 3: her next tattoo is a picture of Dom, So let's
Speaker 3: see if she goes through that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's not gonna but it's not gonna be
Speaker 2: a real tattoo. Then yeah. Then if I'm Buddy Matthews,
Speaker 2: I'm like, you gotta what girls should talk about this?
Speaker 2: Then who does he get a tattoo of to make
Speaker 2: her jealous Alexa Bliss. Why would that make her jealous?
Speaker 4: I think that's his eggs. I think they dated. Oh,
Speaker 4: f're just trying to get each other. All these wrestling relationships.
Speaker 2: Each leg just tatted up exactly.
Speaker 3: How does it feel real? H you have feelings.
Speaker 2: Instead of fantasy booking, we just have fantasy revenge. Oh
Speaker 2: my dude, all right, getting back to reality. Although this
Speaker 2: is more fun. Finn Balor and Seth Rollins are gonna
Speaker 2: wrestle again. It feels like they've wrestled like five times
Speaker 2: in the last two months. I'm sure they have this matchup.
Speaker 2: It certainly feels that way. I do too, man, I'm
Speaker 2: not eight and on it. I just I feel like
Speaker 2: we've seen it a lot. And the story of the
Speaker 2: seven Year the seven Year Bitch, which I like very much,
Speaker 2: is nice that they were able to bring that shoulder
Speaker 2: storyline back. For those who don't know, who don't watch
Speaker 2: wrestling as habitually as we do. He separated his shoulder
Speaker 2: the day Finn Balor won the Universal Championship during the match,
Speaker 2: and he had to give it up the very next day,
Speaker 2: and it was the worst day of his frigging life.
Speaker 2: And they turned in real life, and they worked it
Speaker 2: into the story and it's been a really good motivation.
Speaker 2: It's not as compelling as the Cody Roads Seth Rollins
Speaker 2: storyline to me, but it's all art man, so it's
Speaker 2: tough to compare. It's certainly working. I like both guys,
Speaker 2: and I felt like both guys got over in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like Also, I like that the size matches.
Speaker 3: I think that's why I'm always fine with a Seth
Speaker 3: and Finn match because like they're they're perfectly in my opinion,
Speaker 3: they're both perfectly charismatic. Are there that the same level
Speaker 3: of charisma, the same level of Mike work. I mean
Speaker 3: you could argue Seth's a little better, but they just
Speaker 3: would say build they're the same physique in a lot
Speaker 3: of ways. Like, I just like this matchup because it
Speaker 3: seems like it matches. You see, like a Drew McIntyre
Speaker 3: versus Seth Rawlins, You're like, this dude would kill him.
Speaker 3: He'd cut his head off with a sword, like like
Speaker 3: it would be like over in a second. But like
Speaker 3: when you see a guy like you know, the same builds.
Speaker 3: I like it a lot, and I think these guys
Speaker 3: are pretty pretty evenly matched. So I never get sick
Speaker 3: of it. It's very believable.
Speaker 2: Ae W Dynamite. I love this guy more and more
Speaker 2: every time he comes out, and every time I go, okay,
Speaker 2: I got him figured out. He does like a different
Speaker 2: kind of match. But I'm going to talk about the
Speaker 2: squlosing one freshly squeezed orange Cassidy against a guy that
Speaker 2: we spoke about on this He is the squos, you
Speaker 2: know what the squos and what I have the higher
Speaker 2: ground Cassidy. He went against someone we've spoken about before
Speaker 2: on this show called ar Fox, and this fool can
Speaker 2: wrestle his ass off, and you find out kind of
Speaker 2: his backstory of how he trained Darby Allen and and
Speaker 2: how much Darby Allen appreciates and respects him and ar
Speaker 2: let him like live in at his place when he
Speaker 2: was just a student of the game, and how he's like,
Speaker 2: if there's no ar Fox, there's no Darby Allen, although
Speaker 2: I think he said there's there's probably or maybe there's
Speaker 2: no Darby Allen, which isn't the full compliment. That's like
Speaker 2: an eighty five percenter on the conflict, you like, I
Speaker 2: still probably would have made it though, And so then
Speaker 2: they have this match and this was like a ba
Speaker 2: this shit out of your match, man, Like everything looked
Speaker 2: so hard and rough. It makes me not want to
Speaker 2: be a wrestler because I'm not tough enough. But it's
Speaker 2: weird to me how he can take these beatings and
Speaker 2: get up. It's almos. He has like this Jeff Hardy
Speaker 2: quality where he's just made out of pipe cleaners and
Speaker 2: you know, you know, like those little bendy things that
Speaker 2: you would make guys out of in like kindergarten in
Speaker 2: first grade. That's what he's like built out of. And
Speaker 2: he takes these whoopings and his style is unique, and
Speaker 2: you know, I don't even want to hate it anymore,
Speaker 2: Like he earned my love. It's like when Adam Cole
Speaker 2: earned my love with the baby I used to hate it,
Speaker 2: and now I say it before he does them like
Speaker 2: got him cold, babe. Now I love the orange cassidy
Speaker 2: And I'm not joking. My son and I do the
Speaker 2: little baby kicks to each other for no reason all
Speaker 2: the time, Like now we've done it so much. He
Speaker 2: just walked up to me yesterday while I was at
Speaker 2: the refrigerator getting food out to make dinner, and he
Speaker 2: just comes up and just does a little lickick and.
Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: And he doesn't say anything, and he just hits me
Speaker 2: with another one tap and I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: And so I kicked his leg and he moved it
Speaker 2: out of the way and ran away laughing.
Speaker 4: What are those small oranges called like little little cuties?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What are those? What are those tiny.
Speaker 4: Little little cuties little kitties? Yeah, yeah, little cassidy to
Speaker 4: you right there. I like that, he was, man, So
Speaker 4: it's and so that's another thing. But just another reason
Speaker 4: for me to love wrestling is is those kind of
Speaker 4: moments because it reminds me when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: and my son has a lot of fun with it
Speaker 4: now too. But ar Fox turned into a son of
Speaker 4: a bitch at the end of the match.
Speaker 2: Was a total dick. And then John Moxley came out
Speaker 2: and beat the living shit out of Orange Cassidyes more
Speaker 2: so my guy won the match but lost in life
Speaker 2: on Wednesday Night Dynamite. But it was still a fun match. Man,
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: I thought this match was insane. This is my match
Speaker 3: of the week, and I'm not kidding. Out of all,
Speaker 3: destroyed out of everything, because I don't know anything about
Speaker 3: ar Fox and the match was like very flippy, very
Speaker 3: like they did I've never seen before, like where Cassidy's
Speaker 3: like up on the top rope sitting and then he
Speaker 3: went up and kind of like put his arm across
Speaker 3: him like it was a rock bottom and then bounced
Speaker 3: his back of his legs and his butt like to
Speaker 3: do a backflip while slide. It was like the weirdest
Speaker 3: the move is called. I was like, I've never seen
Speaker 3: that like this, Like I don't know what it's summersault
Speaker 3: into like a sent on from the ring apron like
Speaker 3: when Cassidy's like there was so many things that I go,
Speaker 3: what is that move? What is that move? But it
Speaker 3: was happening so fast that I was like, this is insane.
Speaker 3: And it also made me realize how how much better
Speaker 3: Orange Cassidy is it wrestling than I thought he was.
Speaker 3: I already thought it. You know, he's great. I loved him.
Speaker 3: But this match was quick paced. It had all the
Speaker 3: right things. They're flying all over the joint. They must
Speaker 3: have been gassed. It was a quick and good match
Speaker 3: that I was like, this is this is the match
Speaker 3: of the week for me.
Speaker 2: I love everything about what he's doing. I love his opening.
Speaker 2: I love how he doesn't care, and even as opening
Speaker 2: reflects that, it just he writes like little notes like
Speaker 2: something cool here, whatever, I'm not even gonna think of it.
Speaker 2: Just do something cool with this, and like all these
Speaker 2: little images that pop up, and he's just so like whatever.
Speaker 2: And then when he starts flying and bouncing around and
Speaker 2: getting bounced around, he's a whole different personality man, and
Speaker 2: I just I love him and I love what he
Speaker 2: what he brings to wrestling. Now he gets your umbrella
Speaker 2: because you've been showered with we're showering praise. We're letting
Speaker 2: it rain today. Although here's where I think the rain
Speaker 2: will stop. The Tony Shavani interview with Jack Perry. I
Speaker 2: will say this, and I know what you're gonna say,
Speaker 2: and I'll give you time. He's getting better, Okay, he's
Speaker 2: getting he's getting better. And we were wrong about Dom,
Speaker 2: about dirty Dom, and they gave him.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you ever talked.
Speaker 2: I feel like I wasn't like in on him though, okay,
Speaker 2: and he he found something and and found the right vein.
Speaker 2: Multiple people reached out to me on social media before
Speaker 2: we even recorded this episode to say something's wrong with
Speaker 2: the AW broadcast audio because the crowd was going bananas
Speaker 2: and booing like crazy on Jack Perry's promo and that's
Speaker 2: why he was he was pausing so much. And multiple
Speaker 2: people sent it to me. Now, they could all be
Speaker 2: bros on the same text chain, but it didn't feel
Speaker 2: that way, and I rewatched the segment and it did
Speaker 2: sound weird. And I have had audio issues with AW
Speaker 2: in the past, as far as like backstage promos being
Speaker 2: live and like the Christian promo going in and out,
Speaker 2: and that's not because he's off mic. So I'm hoping
Speaker 2: that the reaction was stronger, but he is. I'll give
Speaker 2: him this he's getting. It was better than his last one,
Speaker 2: and it was for sure distracting because he was you
Speaker 2: could tell he was distracted by what I'm assuming was
Speaker 2: a crowd response that just wasn't coming through as strong
Speaker 2: as it was in the arena. That's all I'm going
Speaker 2: to say about it. I'm not going to say anything
Speaker 2: disparaging or hypercritical because I don't know what the environment
Speaker 2: was like in there. If it was as hot as
Speaker 2: people say, then it's excusable, and it was better than
Speaker 2: last week's I'm not saying it was good. I'm saying
Speaker 2: it was better than last week. That's as good sugarcoating
Speaker 2: as I can do it. That's a cloud for as well.
Speaker 2: And on.
Speaker 3: I am also not going to be showering any praise
Speaker 3: on this segment. So many things about this and I
Speaker 3: know what you like you said with the audio and
Speaker 3: maybe it's not an audio thing. As a stand up comic,
Speaker 3: sometimes you like, dude, I slayed that set, Like let
Speaker 3: me get that footage from the improv or the laugh
Speaker 3: factor and then you listen to the foodge You're like, wow,
Speaker 3: it sounds It's just sometimes live is there's this extra
Speaker 3: thing that you can't really translate to television. Sometimes things
Speaker 3: feel when it's happening bigger and better and it gets
Speaker 3: lost through the TV screen or it just doesn't play
Speaker 3: as hard, like maybe everyone there was so much tension
Speaker 3: in the room that people are booing, but like the
Speaker 3: audio's picking up just the audible part of it, not
Speaker 3: the feeling or the energy. But anyways, all that being said,
Speaker 3: Jack Perry, I don't know who wrote the promo, does
Speaker 3: he do they write their own promos generally or no?
Speaker 3: Or generally not.
Speaker 2: I think so, I think they do.
Speaker 3: He just says a bunch of like typical, very cliche
Speaker 3: I've heard before kind of bad guy stuff, and then
Speaker 3: he tries to turn to Taz and say like, and
Speaker 3: I had to beat the ass of anybody in you
Speaker 3: old bums from ECW. I'm making up my own words there,
Speaker 3: and even Taz like, like, dude, you're five foot ten
Speaker 3: and you're also like gorgeous, Like Jack Perry's pretty. He's pretty,
Speaker 3: and he's five foot ten and he's acting like he's
Speaker 3: a bad ass. He's chewing his gum while he's in
Speaker 3: his There was just so many things that were just
Speaker 3: it was terrible and and it just didn't It wasn't.
Speaker 3: It just didn't feel very like I shouldn't believe that
Speaker 3: Jerry Lynn, who I don't know how old is, could
Speaker 3: definitely beat oh, don't even say his ass. So it's
Speaker 3: like it felt like I was just like, I'm why
Speaker 3: am I rooting for Jerry Lynn here? Like it's it
Speaker 3: just felt the whole cry we're supposed to root for him,
Speaker 3: but everything you're saying is true.
Speaker 2: I wish he had a run.
Speaker 3: I'm the greatest wrestler to be within one hundred feet
Speaker 3: of this belt and this is a second class like company,
Speaker 3: and there's just so many things that's going around here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was just it felt tired. But maybe change it around.
Speaker 3: I hope it changed it around. I do too.
Speaker 2: Look, I have a bias for any second generation kid, right,
Speaker 2: like being one myself. Those boots are hard to fill
Speaker 2: and a certain point you just go, man, I'm not
Speaker 2: even trying to wear these boots I got. There's all
Speaker 2: these other boots that look great. I got to try
Speaker 2: these boots on. But it's it's hard when when you're
Speaker 2: in a shadow, even a loosely connected one. And I
Speaker 2: don't think wrestling is that loosely connected from any other
Speaker 2: scripted television show. And I say scripted television show because
Speaker 2: some of these cats need to be scripted. And that's okay,
Speaker 2: that's all right. You think Denzel Washington's pretty sweet, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's scripted. He's memorizing that and breaking down a scene
Speaker 2: and figuring out why he's going to say the things
Speaker 2: he's going to say. And it's that motive behind the lines,
Speaker 2: that thought process of why would I say this to?
Speaker 2: What do I want to make this person feel scared?
Speaker 2: Afraid and love, sexy time, anything like that, and then
Speaker 2: that's what makes a performance three dimensional and cool, and
Speaker 2: that's what makes promos three dimensional and cool, or any
Speaker 2: wrestling segments that you like. And he can freaking do this.
Speaker 2: I've seen him do better when he has like the
Speaker 2: edited backstage not backstage but like on location promos, like
Speaker 2: when he was in his backyard talking like in a
Speaker 2: chair interview style. So I've seen him do well, so
Speaker 2: that means he can transfer it over. It's just not
Speaker 2: it's not the execution isn't there yet. So I want
Speaker 2: good things for this dude. That wasn't his best, but
Speaker 2: it wasn't his worst. And hopefully, you know, there's someone
Speaker 2: there he trusts that can help him out with some
Speaker 2: of the scripting of those promos and just see if
Speaker 2: it works. You know, if it doesn't, you still want
Speaker 2: to work alone, then work alone and keep evolving your
Speaker 2: craft and and hope that you keep getting the opportunities
Speaker 2: to learn and grow. But sometimes having someone help you
Speaker 2: out can speed that growth up. It's just got to
Speaker 2: be someone you Truyt.
Speaker 3: Also to our listeners, I'm rooting for him. I'm rooting
Speaker 3: for a lot of these guys. I have nothing against
Speaker 3: Jack Perry. It's just when I see something that I'm
Speaker 3: going to comment on it. I love I love him
Speaker 3: and I hope that he crushes it. It's just when
Speaker 3: I see a terrible idea, whether it was his or
Speaker 3: a writer's, like, I'm going to call it out, but
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for him, and we like Jack Perry on
Speaker 3: this podcast. Let it be known.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bad ideas like shaving the head of Becky Lynch,
Speaker 2: We'll call it out. We'll call it out, and you'll
Speaker 2: ret world because you love.
Speaker 3: Jeff di you loves exhausting, Like, why why are they
Speaker 3: talking to ex boyfriend? It's like they didn't call me.
Speaker 3: Nobody called me and said, hey, Jeff, do you want
Speaker 3: to comment on on a girl you dated years ago
Speaker 3: who's got a family now. We'd like all of her
Speaker 3: fans to go crazy and tweet at you. No, they
Speaker 3: didn't call me.
Speaker 2: By the way, pod, you didn't say anything mean about her.
Speaker 2: You were totally behind her. She was like, no, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna shave my head, dumb asses, like she totally
Speaker 2: had her back.
Speaker 3: Maybe Wresselamia or Twitter or any of these people maybe
Speaker 3: mentioned that I'm the co host of a podcast with
Speaker 3: Freddie Prince Junior, so that it just sounds like you
Speaker 3: called me like, hey, I got Becky's ex boyfriend on
Speaker 3: the line. Hey, you got any dirt you want to say?
Speaker 2: I got agg you got aggregated, bro.
Speaker 3: It came up on the Wrestling with Freddie podcast, who
Speaker 3: I am a part of, So I don't know, it's
Speaker 3: kind of funny.
Speaker 2: We are gonna go to Friday Night smack gut. Jay
Speaker 2: Uso is the star of this show right now. I
Speaker 2: said on Mark Henry's radio show Busted Open, I said,
Speaker 2: I thought Jay Uso was the most overcat, and that
Speaker 2: was before he became the most overcat just because of
Speaker 2: you kind of. I mean, wasn't the first one to
Speaker 2: call it. Everybody saw where the story was going. But
Speaker 2: Jay's ability to execute at such a high level, man
Speaker 2: and keep you interested, Like I've never seen a wrestler
Speaker 2: get cut two more when they're not talking than Jay Usso,
Speaker 2: like you're whatever, whoever he's in a promo with, just
Speaker 2: just know the camera is not gonna be on you
Speaker 2: but for a second, so you could basically walk out
Speaker 2: with your notes and just read them, because this dude
Speaker 2: is like pacing back and forth, letting you know, every
Speaker 2: thought and emotion in his face like it's it's crazy. Man,
Speaker 2: it's like watching I don't even know how to describe
Speaker 2: it because there's no actor that does this. Like he's
Speaker 2: just so freaking expressive and it's not over the top,
Speaker 2: or if it is, he's so committed to it that
Speaker 2: it doesn't play over the top. We can get to
Speaker 2: that in a minute.
Speaker 3: To the match.
Speaker 2: But Ray Mistereo and Santos Escobar had a match. It
Speaker 2: looked like Ray got hurt and got a like not
Speaker 2: not ko, but can cussed a bit. So we wish
Speaker 2: you well take your time, always go slow. Apparently you
Speaker 2: can wrestle forever because your body's built differently than the
Speaker 2: rest of us. So you got time. Man. He left
Speaker 2: pleads at.
Speaker 3: Least he in the match, that he unfortunately got injured,
Speaker 3: that the other guy won. At least it was Santos.
Speaker 3: How about that. That's a that's a victory.
Speaker 2: L w O.
Speaker 3: You know I'm saying, you know, so that's good.
Speaker 2: The h and I mean Santos state in character, Santo
Speaker 2: state in character. So it looked it looked legit story
Speaker 2: or legit. Shoot, it's a shame that it was a shoot,
Speaker 2: but glad he was able to stay in character. And
Speaker 2: uh yeah, man, I wish him the I wish him
Speaker 2: the best. That sucks bad Jay Us versus Grayson Wall
Speaker 2: and this I know everyone's gonna be like, dude, this
Speaker 2: is your match of the week. You're so dumb. Yeah whatever,
Speaker 2: I'm dumb. This is my match of the week. And
Speaker 2: it's just because of one move. So I love Samoans
Speaker 2: and the history of Samoans in professional wrestling, and shout
Speaker 2: out to Simone number one and Bob Becklan in the
Speaker 2: old school movie Creep Show in the Stephen King segment
Speaker 2: that's the matches watching. So they have this great history
Speaker 2: and legacy of having the hardest heads in all of
Speaker 2: professional wrestling, and multiple generations of white dudes, Black dudes,
Speaker 2: Asian dudes, and Mexican dudes and everyone that's not Samoan
Speaker 2: dudes have respected this legacy type extra thing that the
Speaker 2: Simons get to have. So anytime someone tries to head
Speaker 2: but a Samoan, the Samoan no sells it because their
Speaker 2: culture says, our heads are harder, and so we get
Speaker 2: to do this and the other person has to sell
Speaker 2: it big like, oh, my freaking head, I can't ah.
Speaker 2: That hurts so bad, And anytime someone does it in
Speaker 2: the match, I pop so big for it because I
Speaker 2: just think it's the coolest thing. And Grayson Waller, the
Speaker 2: young brash rookie who thinks he's an out talent and
Speaker 2: out athlete everybody, and he's cocky and he knows the
Speaker 2: company believes in him because they give him his own
Speaker 2: talk segment every single week, and he looks the part
Speaker 2: and he acts the part. So why wouldn't I be
Speaker 2: able to head butt jay Us? Oh, son of a bitch?
Speaker 2: And he just sells it so nice, and jay Us
Speaker 2: looks at him like, brother, are you crazy? Like it
Speaker 2: was like, you know, I just I always pop so
Speaker 2: big for that and it becomes my match of the
Speaker 2: week simply because of that. But the Roman reigns element
Speaker 2: as well coming out. The story that these two men
Speaker 2: have is just top friggin' shelf. I love the distraction
Speaker 2: and I love that he still got over. I thought
Speaker 2: that he was gonna go unscathed and get shots off
Speaker 2: on everyone Jeff Hardy style, but eventually Solo caught up
Speaker 2: to him and put a friggin spike in his throat
Speaker 2: and they beat his ass, and so he'll be going
Speaker 2: in next next week, you know, a little run down,
Speaker 2: which makes me think maybe he won't win, but I
Speaker 2: hope he does. That would be crazy storytelling for the WWE.
Speaker 2: And it takes a lot of guts to put jay
Speaker 2: Uso over Roman Reigns when you know that's your guy.
Speaker 2: It takes a lot of guts. So we'll see if
Speaker 2: you have the guts. WWE. Did you like this match?
Speaker 3: What'd you think?
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I loved it. I love Jaus. I'm so, so,
Speaker 3: so so on board with with everything they're doing with
Speaker 3: the bloodline. Grayson Waller is curious. For me, I don't
Speaker 3: know why he's getting such a like we talk about
Speaker 3: I talk about at least NonStop about how there's all
Speaker 3: these guys that aren't getting used properly, like an ag
Speaker 3: styles a Shinsky knocking Moore and La Knight's finally getting
Speaker 3: a little bit now another little push, but not a
Speaker 3: big one. There's so many things not working or being
Speaker 3: used or happening, and then now you're gonna push Grayson Waller.
Speaker 3: Grayson Waller gets to keep using rock catch phrases, and
Speaker 3: then everyone's thinking was that like little tease, is maybe
Speaker 3: the rock coming to SummerSlam? Is he gonna whatever beat
Speaker 3: up this?
Speaker 2: Well, there's no way he would get that big a rub.
Speaker 2: Oh my, if they did that, fans would get pissed.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't even they would get mad because that would
Speaker 2: be like or.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be basically jobbing for the rock, you know,
Speaker 3: like the rock would come in and be like, stop
Speaker 3: using my catchphrases, stop doing my little eyebrow. Like I'll
Speaker 3: know he's like a high level jobbing, you know, like
Speaker 3: he's kind of like just being, you know, the guy
Speaker 3: that gets his ass beat by the rock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's man. That'd be wild if they gave
Speaker 2: him that big of a of a rub.
Speaker 3: Yes early on.
Speaker 2: Well that I'm with you, like I'm a wait and see,
Speaker 2: Like I don't I didn't watch a lot of NXT
Speaker 2: barely any so I don't know if he was killing
Speaker 2: it down there or what. But to me, it's just
Speaker 2: like Australian mis right, like with mis TV. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then he's there to take a bump and make the
Speaker 2: other person look good, which is fine, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 2: with that, but that's a lot of time that's a
Speaker 2: lot of time where someone could be wrestling, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just confusing. Also, why not use them as
Speaker 3: for this There's just so many wrestlers that like just
Speaker 3: don't get stuff, and then they push Grayson Waller on
Speaker 3: us for the last feen. You know, no district to Grayson,
Speaker 3: but just it's confusing. It's like a very strange Yeah.
Speaker 2: I hope he kills it. You know, he looked the
Speaker 2: part and he sold like a mug, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. And you could talk a bit on the mic.
Speaker 2: So it's just a matter of getting that segment over.
Speaker 2: Those entering talk show segments are hard cells because it
Speaker 2: looks so ghetto. No matter how you dress up the
Speaker 2: ring like, it looks like a school play. So no
Speaker 2: matter what the credibility is at a at a two
Speaker 2: on a.
Speaker 3: Scale, it looks like a Viking ship, you know, it
Speaker 3: looks like a stop you like them ship. It's hard
Speaker 3: to make that ring look like anything but a wrestling ring.
Speaker 3: And then wrestling fans go just wrestle, all right. We know,
Speaker 3: you guys got to talk and do the dancing and
Speaker 3: the and the entrances.
Speaker 2: And surrounding it.
Speaker 3: Podcasts in the middle of the ring, contract signings. They
Speaker 3: always trying to do anything but wrestle.
Speaker 2: Just wrestle. The talk show segments are always long, but
Speaker 2: they have to be or it's not worth the investment, right.
Speaker 2: But it's my thing is if you have a guy
Speaker 2: that can talk, put him in the ring, let him
Speaker 2: talk his way into a fight, and then let them
Speaker 2: have a match. And whether he's an a hole or
Speaker 2: a good guy, and whatever your job is, then he
Speaker 2: wins or loses. But yeah, just let him fight is otherwise,
Speaker 2: I don't know. They always look like a Jerry Springer
Speaker 2: set to me, which looked like low rent, like ghetto.
Speaker 2: Here's the cheapest version of this show and we're just
Speaker 2: going to try to syndicate it and make money. And
Speaker 2: that's what Jerry Springer was. And that doesn't work, man.
Speaker 2: I know, people think because of the raw the attitude
Speaker 2: era that that was, you know, a very highly rated show.
Speaker 2: It did not get good ratings. Compare it to shows
Speaker 2: that did. It's not get good ratings. It was just syndicated,
Speaker 2: like trash that would be on in beauty salons and shit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so that's my feelings on Jerry Springer.
Speaker 3: By the way, I used to like Jerry Springer when
Speaker 3: I was a kid, But now looking back on I
Speaker 3: was like, this is pretty exploitive. Like this, even if
Speaker 3: you know, even if it's like only ten percent of
Speaker 3: this is real, it feels kind of icky. But when
Speaker 3: I was like eleven, I was like, yeah, they would
Speaker 3: just do these crazy things.
Speaker 2: Tell the people where you're gonna be one more time
Speaker 2: this weekend.
Speaker 4: Sarasota, Florida, where they also like Jerry Springer.
