Ready, 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.920 let's get it all. How's it going, everybody? Brian Alvarez 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.160 here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.439 Monday through Friday, New Pacific three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:25.640 six Eastern, and Saturday Mornings with the Jim Valley Today 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.000 in Pacific one Eastern. And we got a lot to 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.160 get into here today. It is Tuesday here on this program, 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.600 and you don't know what that means today. Normally you 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.080 know what that means on Tuesday, I'm gonna bury all 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.920 these raw segments and talk about all this stupid stuff 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:48.239 on the show. But no, not today. The show wasn't perfect, 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.720 but this is my favorite raw and I don't even 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.120 I can't remember the last time there was a raw 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.360 that I thought was as good as this raw. So 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.160 we're gonna talk about that today on the show. That'll 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:04.160 be fun, a fun raw report. Also fun. I've seen 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.600 two matches so far from that Impact Rebellion show. They're 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.759 both awesome. So if you have not seen the show 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.119 where all of the show, I strongly recommend Moose versus 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:21.120 Josh Alexander and a she E versus Jonah, two great 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.200 matches we can talk about on the program today. And 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.199 they're gonna be doing a rematch of the Josh Alexander 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.920 Moose match coming up on Access TV. That's coming at 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.720 Thursday if you want to see it again. We got 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.399 updates on ft R and the story that w w 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.920 E has interest in them. We got an update for 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.280 the a W Show coming up on Wednesday. We have 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.200 a new special commentator for the Decks Hardwood Cash Wheeler match. No, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.760 it's not Bret Hart, but it is one of Bret 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:58.160 Hart's biggest fans, commentating on two of Bret Hart's biggest fans, 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.640 having essentially a Brett versus Own tribute match. Sam Punk 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.440 will be doing commentary for Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.160 We can talk about the rest of the lineup as well. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.920 We have the Dynamite I'm sorry, the a W Rampage numbers, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.400 the SmackDown numbers. Bad Bunny is gonna be a pro 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.919 wrestler in a movie, and so much more. Back in 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:44.200 a moment to kick it off Observer Live back in 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.560 the show, Brian Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live, maximbur 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:52.760 Bhev also Wrestling Observer dot com. You look amused. I 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.640 was just saying that some stuff at two Pacific five 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.720 Eastern today. Lance is gonna be on the show and 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.120 we'll talk more about this Impact Rebellion paper view. But 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.840 as I know, to the opening segment, there's there's two 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.080 matches that I strongly recommend. They're the only two have 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.760 seen so far. Apparently there's a lot of other great 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.680 stuff on the show, but Moose and Josh Alexander is 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.240 great main event and she versus Jonah It's just a 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.840 great Ash versus Jonah match. And I was I was watching, uh, 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.280 I was watching that main event. And I'm sure I'm 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.840 not the biggest Moose fan on the planet, but sometimes 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.280 I feel like I am because I never really hear 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.840 anybody talking about Moose. I mean, they talk about him, 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.520 you know, they talk about him. But here's the thing. Okay, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.680 I watched that Raw show last night and they actually 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.680 didn't quite do my idea with the arm wrestling contest, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.200 but one guy actually beat the other guy clean. I 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.520 thought for sure they were going to do the deal 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.240 where you know, O Moss is about to lose and 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.400 then m v P hits him with the cane or whatever, 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.360 and then they took the Bobby Lashley beat him, He 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.560 beat him, He beat him in an arm wrestling match clean, 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.560 and then they have the post match, you know, attack 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.520 and everything like that. And I'm just watching Omas and 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.400 it's like, oh my god, they so badly want this 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.960 giant and he's just a tall guy and you know, 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.720 he's a guy playing program and I don't believe anything 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.880 about I've talked about it before. I don't want to 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.679 get on the guy. Sure he's a nice guy at all. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.200 And then like I'm watching SmackDown and they got all shankly. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.760 He's a tall guy, another giant, and uh, he's gonna 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.000 be facing a Ricochet for the championship on SmackDown on Friday. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.360 He's in a title match, and on the show he's 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.400 also in a lumberjack match and he has no idea 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.520 how to be a lumberjack, and even the announcers are like, 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.200 shank Lee clearly has never been told the rules of 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:47.599 a lumberjack match before. He doesn't know the rules lumberjack match. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.599 And I'm sure he's a nice guy as well, but 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.279 you were seeing Shankly wrestll so anyway, and then you 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.120 know they got sutten him sing that is debuted in 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.560 in a by the way of all of the newly 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.559 debut giants. I mean, from what I've seen, he's the best. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.680 But still I mean just a big guy, just a 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.599 big guy. Has learned a couple of moves. We don't 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:09.840 know anything about how he can work in the ring 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:14.600 or anything like that. Everybody wants a giant, and bro, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.239 here's a Moose right here. This dude is a legit 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.440 six four six five and so like in in wrestling, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.040 he's six eight six nine, and dude, this guy is 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:31.120 so good, like he has no holes in his game. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.240 The number one hole you'll see in a giant's game 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:38.240 is always the same. They have no idea how to sell, right, 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.200 Look at Almas try and sells it's comedy, shank Lee, 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.839 We have no idea, I Suttman singh can sell call. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.800 I mean, you could go through the list of giants 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.000 in this business and virtually none of them have a 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:55.160 clue had to sell. Moose can sell. He knows how 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.440 to work as a giant. He knows what to do 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.240 and when he has and intimidating, He looks, he works 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.919 like he's a giant, a big dude. He comes across 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.400 as a big dude. When he needs to sell, he 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.320 knows how to sell. When he knows how when he 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.719 needs to put the guy over, he knows how to 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.320 put the guy over. The guy can cut promos and 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.680 then he's in there on top of everything else. Josh 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.680 Alexander sitting on the top rope. This dude does a 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.400 vertical leap dropkick knocks this guy off the top rope 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:28.320 to the floor. This guy is just he's unbelievable. And meanwhile, it's, oh, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.600 we gotta find some tall guy. I'm not saying that, like, 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.440 you know, he should be immediately because I don't think 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.200 he could be rated from impact wrestling. But it's like, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.880 how come when everyone's looking for a giant, it is 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.400 like nobody ever talks about how great Moose is. He's 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:46.000 an awesome giant, and him and Alexander Josh Alexander's great man. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.520 They had a great main event, places going crazy, all 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.920 these awesome near falls, and finally Josh Alexander plants this 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.760 guy with his his Jay driller pens him in the 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.320 middle of Windsy wins the title. His family is there, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.520 they get in the ring, they're all so happy. That 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:07.360 was awesome. And then is she and Jonah who are 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.040 like to uh, you know, they're they're giants with their 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.440 short giants. You know, she's shorter than I am, and uh, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.200 I don't know what's tall Joan is, but he eats 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.040 six five. But they they it was like it was like, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.760 you know, King Kong versus godzill in there they're just 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.600 pounding on each other and and you know, the story 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.440 couldn't be a simpler story. Is she tries a brainbuster, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.720 he can't get it. Then at the end, she goes 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.679 for his giant big splash off the top. He misses. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.400 Is she it's a sliding lariat, grabs this guy, lifts 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.520 him up and hits him with He hits Jonah with 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.720 the brain buster, and these people leaped out of their 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.120 seats and they're screaming and going crazy, and he pinned him. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.240 These guys have never touched before this match. They're both 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.320 working New Japan Strung regularly, but they've never had a 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.720 singles match before. This match was awesome. So now I 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.600 want to see like both these guys in the g 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:09.200 one opposite blocks go up against each other again in Japan. Man, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.480 I always got two matches for this from this Impact show. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.960 But this show is great. I love to watch more 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.520 later you can be able to get that done by 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.800 the time you do the show with Lance. It can happen. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.200 But I could talk about Moose And and Josh Alexander 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.840 and Joni Versa Shei for an hour. If I had 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.160 to try to find a bad opponent for Josh Alexander. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.720 There isn't one. There isn't there just isn't one at all. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:38.400 And it's uh, you know, impact being there is is 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.000 especially because at the time nobody knew what was happening 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.760 with Ring of Honor, and before a W went in there, 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.120 it didn't seem like there was going to be much 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.200 of a future there. And I know, look, I would 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.719 have been happy if Josh Alexander would have signed with 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.640 a W. The thought of him. You know, he could 0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:00.000 always pick up the team with with with Ego again 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.920 and you know, if you wanted to down the line 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.840 and him as a worker in there with Daniel Bryant, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.560 see him, punk Le Moriarty, all these guys, many of 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.720 whom he's already wrestled on the indie scene anyway would 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.600 have been fantastic, But he gets to be a much 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.520 bigger fish in you know, smaller pond. Unfortunately for Impact, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.760 that's just the way it goes. But he gets a 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.560 chance to really showcase himself. Plus he gets to stay 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.320 on the indie scene and have these great matches with 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.360 the Davy Richards, with the I mean I think he 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.880 had one with Leo Rush. He certainly had a bunch 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.680 of a w with Uh. He's adding with Myron Reid. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.880 He's having with a bunch of guys there. So he's 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.559 just so so good and probably doesn't get his do 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.000 And we'll see what happens with Impact in this title 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.040 reign that was obviously cut short by Moose and they 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.480 had the whole feud's gone on for god what six months? 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.720 Nine months? It just seems like forever now. But it'll 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.600 be interesting to see how his rain goes because he's 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.960 really really good, you know. And there's a comment in 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.120 here that someone goes, well, you know, Moose isn't as 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.000 big as those other giants you listed. You're right, but 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:11.959 here's the point, who cares. You don't need your giant 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.000 to be seven four. You don't need your giant to 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.040 be seven you know, all you need is your giant 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.640 to be a giant, as it's compared to the other 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.800 guys who watches who watches? Uh you know, I don't 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.200 know you Godzilla movies or I should ask Vinny, but 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.800 you know, if you if I bet you anything, if 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.120 you watch a bunch of Godzilla movies, Godzilla is a 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.840 different height in each movie. And I'm sure there's like 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.200 one movie where he's nine stories tall, but then there's 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.280 another movie where he's only six stories tall. Well, it 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.880 doesn't matter if he's six or nine. The guy who's 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.560 six stories tall that Godzilla still destroys the city. You 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.760 just need a guy who is portrayed as the big, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.319 scary giant. I mean, Dave was talking about this the 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.600 other day. Let's talk about the last giant that was 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.080 like super Over. Okay, Nash wasn't seven ft tall, but 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:04.960 I mean, I guess you could say Kevin Nash. You know, 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.440 you know, Kevin Nash's prime was in the mid nineties. 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.360 We had the big show who uh you know, his 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.800 actual prime as a giant. As I try not to 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.680 do a giant niece right here, His actual prime as 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.600 a giant was was actually when he was in w 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.080 CW because once they brought him to UH to w 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.800 W E, he was just a big dude. They didn't 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.839 push him like Andre the Giant. They beat him three 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.079 weeks in cleaning the middle of a stone cold stunner, 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.480 and then you know, they they sent him away to 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.000 ev W because they like how big he was, and 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.320 you know he was he was ineffective. He was an 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.520 effective big man, but like you know, he was never 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.240 Andre the Giant or anything like that. His most effective 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.560 run as a giant was actually in w CW when 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.120 he was a giant actually, and they pushed him as 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.240 an actual giant. So you know, if you if you 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.160 have a moose, get rid of Omas and Shankly all 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.080 these other seven ft you don't need to be seven feet. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.760 Nobody cares if you're seven four. They care if you're 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.720 an effective giant, and an ineffective seven foot four guy 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.640 is worse than having an effective guy that you pushes 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.640 six eight. I gotta talk about Rod to this so 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.760 I can get back in a good mood again. Observer 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:37.880 Live back in the show bright Over is Here Wrestling 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.080 Observer Live Mike simbur Bb also Wrestling observer dot com. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.560 I'm not having the giant argument right here now. People 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.600 are telling me that Godzilla is taller than King Kong, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:51.040 so King Kong is definitely not a giant. Well, during 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.160 the movie, the only guy in Impact Wrestling this taller 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:59.720 than Moose is W Morrissey. I am I'm nine nine percent. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.320 Or that Gallows is either the same height or very slightly, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.280 very slightly shorter than Moose. They're They're basically the exact 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:13.560 same height. So giants Moose a big guy drafted in 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:18.280 the NFL, you know, big giant thirty eight years old. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.960 Those of your wwfanel guys, do not go on the 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.800 Internet and go by what it says about gallows height 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.360 on Wikipedia. Unless you want to say that I'm five nine, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.920 I'll make I'll do that. If you want to say 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.720 that I'm five nine, then you can say that Gallows 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.679 is six seven six eight. You want to text the 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.320 good brother and see what he comes back with. She's 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.720 gonna say that he's not gonna kill his own gimmicks. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.200 Six ft twelve baby. How about how about we ask 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.120 the actual agent who is at Impact and is right 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.240 there in the locker room with all those guys at 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.760 two Pacific five eastern and we'll find out who is taller, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.920 Gallows or moose or if they're basically exactly the same height. Brian, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.360 you say, two Pacific five eastern. How do I watch 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.720 or hear such a show? Okay, I think I pulled 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.960 this out of my buttocks. Well, uh, YouTube, of course, 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.520 video dot FW online dot com. Now let me talk 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.080 about raw, because this show was the best raw in forever. Now, granted, 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.640 you know the opening segment, the opening segment was very 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.880 by the numbers where Orton's out there celebrating and the 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.880 baby face are out there, that a whole bunch of 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.920 heels come out and they announced a multi person tag 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.880 at the end of the show. It's it was nothing special, 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.040 It's nothing you need to go out of your way 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.320 to see, but it was worth it to see how 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.680 happy Randy Orton was. When you think about this guy's career, 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.600 and boy did he have some some ups and downs 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.960 and a lot of downs. And uh, he came out 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.640 there and I'm pretty sure with all sincerity, told us 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.480 this was the greatest run of his entire career. And 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.760 he was so happy and he loved Riddle, and they 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.720 hugged and the people were just so full of joy. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.440 They break these guys up anytime soon, I'm gonna be 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.240 so mad. But they haven't yet, everybody, so I'm not 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.880 taking that away from the show. It was a great moment. 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.480 We had Bianca bell Air and Sonya Deville and they 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.280 went forty five seconds to account out. Then, of course 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.800 Sony Deville has management, so she restarted the match with 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.520 no countouts. Then they went fifty two seconds to a 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.360 d Q when she had Bianca with a chair, then 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.080 she's management, so she announced it is no d Q. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.840 And so since it's no d Q, I mean, the 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.240 heels just started running in and and they were triple 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.440 teaming Bianca Taylor. Now, why Bianca has no friends in 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:35.720 her hometown, that's uh, that's another matter entirely. But she 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:41.120 overcame the odds in her hometown. She beat up three wrestlers, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.920 she sent the two outsiders packing, she hit her finishing 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.000 move on Sony Deville, she pinned her, retained the title, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.560 and everybody in her hometown was so happy. It worked, 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.400 and I liked it. We had an edge in Damian 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.440 Priest segment and as I've said before, I have no 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.600 idea what Edge is talking about, and I don't like 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.120 these promos, and he's a thousand times better as a 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.320 baby face. But I don't know what it was. But 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.000 he had a delivery on this one where I actually 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.880 briefly became compelled. I thought he did a good job. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.880 I still don't know what he's talking about, but this 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.480 was of all of the Edge promos he has done 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.480 backstage with Damian Priest, this was the best. But I 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.720 still don't know what's going on. Vir Mahan beat Sam 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.240 of the Smothers Brothers. He was killed in thirty six seconds, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.480 just a squashed to get the guy over. They did 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.160 the arm wrestling match, and as noted, they went back 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.600 and forth. They they they did a fake real arm 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.240 wrestling match, and in the end Bobby Lashly won. He 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.560 put the guy's hand down and he won, and then 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.240 of course he's celebrating, he gets jumped by Omas. They 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.000 beat him up. They they dropped the table on him. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.240 They're having a match of the pay per view and 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.240 it ain't gonna be good. But this was not your 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.240 your totally typical arm wrestling trope. It was at least 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.280 we got a winner before they turned the table over 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.840 on the guy. We had a mixed tag match with 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.840 Truth is referee. It's his way to try to get 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.280 all these couples. You know they're they're they're unhappily married. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.320 I got married a week ago. So they do the 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.240 match here and uh a cure to Zawa, pins Reggie 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.480 and Bro. He did the biggest cent on. It was 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.280 like if if Montez four decided he was gonna do 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.560 a cent on. So how it jumped so high and 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.919 pin Reggie in a minute thirty one and then Truth 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.000 tells Dana, you know the match is over, you know, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.960 get out of this ring before someone takes your title. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.600 He then rolls her up, and because he's the referee, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.240 he tries to count his own pin like it's the 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:46.280 y WF. But she kicks out, goes running and this 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.800 must continue. We had a Becky Lynch promo like her 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.320 and Seth are too smart people, but like, I don't 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.199 know what they're thinking with these gimmicks. She's got this 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.960 outfit on, she's all depressed. Her life means nothing without 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.520 this belt. Her gimmick cause she's a new mother, but 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.399 her life means nothing without this belt, like, dude, I'm 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.439 a dad. I don't buy this for a second. So 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.760 she's all sad and then whose music should hit? Oh? Her, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.640 her whole storyline. Get this, I've hit rock bottom. Now 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.359 I can fight my way back to the top. I'm like, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.120 you know what a storyline is. It will really hook 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.920 those viewers. Is the hated heel fighting their way back 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.720 from below. So anyway, Oscar's music hits, she makes her 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.720 big return. She dances down to the ring places going nuts. 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.879 She cuts a promo I will stop you. Nobody is 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.040 ready for Oscar. Fans love it. She flicks Becky in 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.399 the nose. Becky takes a swing, Oscar avoids it. She 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.440 takes a swing. Becky bales. I thought it was a 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.159 good segment, mostly because Oscar returned. But I thought it 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.320 was all right. And then we had Damian Priest beating Finnbalor. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.040 Match was good, but then the finish, of course it 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.240 is raw. So they're having this good match. And then 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.040 edges all the way up on the on the ramp. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.080 He's he's hundred yards away, sitting in this goofy throne. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:17.280 He stands up. Finn Valor is distracted by height and 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.800 he is hit with a choked slam and this new 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.040 flat Lander gimmick and he is pinned. I don't know 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.159 if future is bright for old Finn Valory here unless 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.280 you go on the YouTube chat. Then they're sure he's staying. 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:36.560 He would never leave MS TV with theory. It's MMS 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.239 in theory. The first five minutes of this was the 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.760 biggest load of trash on this show by a significant margin. 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:48.159 God help me, austin theory and miss going over Mrs 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:54.120 Resume Bro, if I never hear Mrs Resume again, it'll 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.280 be too soon. I am so sick. I'm hearing this guy. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:01.560 I got it. Okay, it's it's a big time go away. 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.960 Turn the channel heat at this point, So finally who 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.200 shall return? But Ali Ali is back. They make fun 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.760 of him for, you know, wanting to take his ball 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.480 and go home, and he wants a shot at at 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.760 at theory. But you know, Miss says blah blah blah, 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.080 so theory challenges ms. MS says, dude, I can't just 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.480 make matches, so theory goes. I just Texteddvince. He said 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.840 the matches on Mrs Furious, but in fact they have 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.840 the match. It's Mustafa Ali versus Miss. And I'm a 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.480 big critic of Miss, especially in the ring, and granted 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.080 this was you know, he was in there with musev Ali, 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.879 but this was the best mismatch. I can't remember the 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.360 last singles match Miss had was this good. He was working, 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.760 they went up and down, they had psychology, the I mean, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:54.840 this was a This was a legitimate, very good mismatch, 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.600 and it wasn't all the other guy. It may have 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.240 been largely the other guy, but MS. This is one 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.320 of those matches where MS totally held up his end 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.760 of the show and he did a good job and 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.000 he got pinned clean in the middle off a figure 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:13.600 four reversal and Ali won. Ali returned and one, and 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:17.680 then he got laid out by Chompa, whose real first 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.639 name is in fact Tomaso, so he is no longer 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:26.719 Tamaso Champa. He is now just Chompa. Rea Ripley promo. 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.159 She actually asked a good question, are you ready to 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:31.679 tell us why you did this? And we had a 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.400 good answer. Dude, I showed up here as a single star, 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.159 I won the women's title, then I get and I 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.840 end up in the tag division, and dude, I'm just 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.199 getting beaten right and left, and my partner's don't hold 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.080 up there into the bargain, so I couldn't take it anymore. 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:48.119 Live shows up attack, sir. They had a brawl. There's 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.159 a segment I cannot do justice too. But if you 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.000 have this on your DVR, watch the segment with Chad Gable, 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.640 Kevin Owens, seth Rawlins, and the USOS as they all 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.320 argue back and forth said ing up the main event tonight. 0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:05.440 They were all great in this segment and I greatly 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:07.800 enjoyed it. And then we had the main event, which 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.640 was Cody Rhodes, Ezekiel, Randy Jordan Riddle against Rawlins, Owens 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.160 and the us OS. This was the closer you're gonna 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.240 get in w W E to uh. How a w 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.600 has their their party match every night.

At the end, 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:30.120 baby faces, they take out all of those uh, all 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:33.160 of those heels, one by one by one ends up 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.440 with and whoso in the ring he gets the r 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.400 k oh off the middle rope pinned in the middle 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:43.639 of the ring. Randy Ordon celebrates on his twentieth anniversary show. 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.480
