I'm a sports byline broadcasting network. 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.680 You are listening to Wrestling Observer Vibe with your hosts 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:25.360 Brian Alvarez and Mike Semper vv Ready are you ready? 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:30.120 Let's get it all though. How's it going everybody? Brian 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.760 Alvarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.120 day Monday through Friday, now Pacific three Eastern, Sunday stree 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.960 Pacific sixth eastern. Well it's Wednesday here in the show, 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.400 and we got a lot to talk about, and uh, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.519 I mean we've got news and everything like that. But 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:52.240 as usual, you know, what what is everyone talking about 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.600 here today? What feedback have I gotten today? Well, it's 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.480 all about Joe Casey and on Breaker, so we do 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:06.360 have to talk about that. It was monstrously stupid, but 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.679 you know, people saying it was the WCW caliber, etcetera, etcetera. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.200 I mean, how how short people's memories are. I mean, 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.000 there's stuff with the Fiend, there's stuff with Alexi Blizz 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.280 way worse than this. But you know, that's a that's 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.760 a low bar. So it was horrible. We'll tell you 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.520 about that here today. And also a w dynamite tonight 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.240 with a big announcement by Tony Khan. What is the 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.959 big announcement, Well, Tony Khan did an interview and uh 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.040 our Stool Sports interview and he talked about a bunch 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.520 of things, including the possibility of a combined a w 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.800 Ring of Honor event. So we'll see what the event. 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.920 We'll see what the announcement is tonight. NBA Playoffs affected 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.640 Raw as they have affected everything, and boy did they 0:01:55.680 --> 0:02:00.080 smash Raw on Monday night. The final segment of a 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:05.240 show was just under one point four million viewers, was 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.000 in the one point three million range. Of course, before 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.760 people go oh go Cody, Cody was also in the 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.760 highest rated thing on the show. So this is not 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.600 an issue with Cody, it's an issue with the NBA playoffs. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.239 Better call Saul and in fact, this show is three 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.240 hours long. We'll say about that g c W lawsuit 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.560 casey knon Zarrow is real or her new name, and 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.320 an interview that she did about that name. And we've 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.440 got the stipulations for the Taichi Shingo King of Pro 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.120 Wrestling title match. I think it might have been on 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.640 the Dave Show. Dave said, Oh, you know a shingo. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.560 You know he doesn't need to be doing any uh 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:46.080 any weird stipulations. Wrong.

You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.560 Brian Alvarez and Mike semper viv on the Sports Byline 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.840 Broadcasting Network. Back in the show, Brain Over is here 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:22.920 Wrestling Observer Alive. I'm Mike simper Viv, also of Wrestling 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.760 Observer dot com, who watched n x T two point 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:32.120 oh last night, Raise your hand, anybody, oh man at 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.960 Joe Gacy braun Breaker deal. I got over a dozen 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.320 emails in the span of about ten minutes when that 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:44.320 show ended about how preposterous this was. And for you, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.599 for those of you that didn't see it, I mean, 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.880 braun Breaker has stolen the Hall of Fame ring of 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.200 Rick Steiner, who is now confirmed to be the the 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.719 father of braun Breaker. So Bronze running all over trying 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.680 to find this this ring. And first we've got Joe 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:11.960 Gacy video walls everywhere like ah, and he's and then 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.480 they go backstage and they literally did the thing from 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.960 w c W where brun Breaker looks in the mirror 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.080 and Joe Gacy is behind him and he spins around 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.400 and there's no Joe Gacy. Somehow there's a hall of 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.800 mirrors in the n x T. I don't know what 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.960 that's all about. And then uh, and then later like 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.600 the whole show, he's looking for Joe Gazy and so 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.640 finally in this show, Joe Gacy shows up and he's 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.280 he's on He's up in the thing. What do they 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.720 call that the nest whatever, the bird's nest or whatever. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.679 So he's up in this nest and he goes, I'm here. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:53.240 It's like brown Breakers so angry that he starts storming 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.480 up to the crow's nest or a crow's nest, starts 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.600 storming up to the crow's nest, and Joe Gazy goes, 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.680 hold second, buddy, calm down, so you'll never gets the 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:08.240 brown Breaker does. He calms down. So Joe Gazy says, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.080 you know, I know you really want this ring, but 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.840 I'm gonna make you deal. No tricks, he says. He goes, 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.280 I will give you this ring back, and all I 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.080 ask is that you give me a championship match in 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.120 two weeks at n X t uh, you know, busted 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.760 Open or whatever it's called spring Breaker, spring break in 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:36.360 or something. So a brown Breaker goes, all right, you're on. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:43.120 So the tension has been lifted. So Joe Gazy he 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:48.720 takes the ring off, takes the ring off. He he 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.120 puts it down the shirt of a brown Breaker, and 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:59.200 then they they look at each other, and then Joe 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.320 Gacy says, I don't know that none of this matters. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.839 Some dumb line he goes one other thing and then 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.560 he he shoves braun Breaker. You gotta take a leap 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.080 of faith, Yeah, leap of faith. Braun Breaker falls off 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.960 the crow's nest. You just see him, you know, he 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:20.480 just appears off screen, and then you hear clang and uh, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.200 and then you missed the announcer going. The only sound 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.280 from the announcer, and then from there is a bizarre 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.800 I'm I'm like ninety nine percent sure from that point 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.240 forward it's all pre tape because you never see the 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.920 crowd again. You see a shot looking up at Joe Gacy, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.160 but you don't see any people, and then you they 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.520 have another shot of brown Breaker. Of course he's laying 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.400 flat on cement like he fell off the thing and 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.080 laying it on cement. And uh, you know, at this point, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:52.240 I'm thinking, alright, it's dumb, But I mean, what's everyone 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.680 so angry about? Like it's just a stupid angle. No 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.719 sooner should I think? Then braun Breakers laying on the 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.800 a meant and all of a sudden, from around him 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:10.840 are a dozen druids. Druids in Florida. There are a 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:15.040 bunch of druids there, and all the druids they lift 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.880 up there there things or whatever, and they start to 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.600 cover the body of brawn. He goes, ah, and that's 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.360 how the show goes off the air. That was stupid, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.680 And that's how the show went off the air. And uh, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.120 you know what, I couldn't help. But I couldn't help. 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:39.040 But notice, well you remember when Vince McMahon did that 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:45.920 interview with McAfee and he goes, you know, sometimes we 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.960 we make mistakes. By the way, doesn't mention a mistake 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.680 he ever made, just in general. You know, sometimes we 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.400 make mistakes. And what we do is we we learn 0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:00.599 from those mistakes, as we said. And I couldn't I 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.359 couldn't help, but think that. You know, they had this guy, 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:11.000 the Fiend, and they did a whole bunch of absolutely 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:17.599 god awful, horrible television with this guy. And do you 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.120 remember what happened to the Fiend got released? I fired you. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.640 So then he's gone. And then they decide, you know 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.480 what we're gonna do is we're gonna make a female Fiend, 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.560 and so Alexa Bliss is the new Fiend after they 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:39.400 fired the first guy. And uh, some of the absolute 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:45.880 Thomas stupid stuff you ever saw on television she's teleporting 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.400 and all this other crap, and uh, I can't be helped. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.240 But noticed I have not seen her for a long time. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.360 She she vanished and then they did a bunch of 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:01.240 equally stupid vignettes and then she had one match, and 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.000 then she vanished again, and we haven't seen her. And 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.240 now you of course, you know, you go online and uh, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.240 you know. I don't know, but the rumors are that 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.080 she's she's unhappy. She don't wonder why why would she 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.840 be unhappy? Oh? Maybe you know, she did six weeks 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.000 of vignettes and then they had no plan, and then 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.800 she had one match and then advantage and then she 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.160 wasn't even on wrestle me. I wonder if it could 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.040 possibly be true that she would be frustrated. But anyway, 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:30.640 that's two. Now, that's too Fiend related gimmicks involving horrible 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.600 television where the you know, the antagonists here, first the 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.120 Fiend and then Alexa. It's like then they it's just 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.960 like they're gone. It's like a curse. Well, now now 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:47.600 someone decided, well we need another Fiend. It'll be Joe Gacy. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.400 He'll laugh and he'll teleport and he'll be in mirrors 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.960 even though he's not there, And I'm like, bro, how many, honestly, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.160 how many times are we gonna do this stupid crap 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.640 and not figure out that it sucks and that nobody 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.880 wants to see? The individuals involved they never get over 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.320 and it's like they're cursed when they get strapped with 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.679 this stupid How many times do we have to do this? 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:22.160 Am I wrong? Forever? Because they make movies, No, they 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.720 don't make movies. This is what they say, this is 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.800 what they believe, this is what Vince believes, and come on, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.560 look the cinematics to all the things that we've gotten. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.720 Vince loves this stuff. And when sometimes when it hits, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:43.040 it's really good. Other times it's not. And to be honest, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.400 it hasn't hit all that often for me. No matter 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.760 who is doing it, whether it be Alexa Bliss or 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.000 Bray White or now Joe Gacy. How do these people 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.520 get control of all the production. That's another thing too, 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.000 wrestlers taking over the production and Joe Gacy being able 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.160 to just you know, run wild in n XT in 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.640 that place small enough where you can actually, you know, 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.839 do something. But then again, there's carnage all over this show. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.080 There's a little mini movies taking place all over the place. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:14.120 Look at the heavy handedness of Tony D'Angelo and every 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.800 single Mafia movie stereotype being brought out in very short 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.000 order in this battle against Legato d Phantasma, Right. I mean, 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.680 that's what this whole show is about. That's what they 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.120 like to do. That's where this show is more like 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.280 the main roster than it ever has been, because they 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.480 love doing this stuff, and the people be damned. You know, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.360 whether this is good for Joe Gazy or not doesn't matter. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.000 We have an idea, we have a plan. If it 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.000 doesn't work out, yeah, then we go on to the 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.760 next one. That's what they do. I'm not surprised by 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.920 this at all. Was a good No. Is this what 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.320 I want to see braun Breaker doing? No? But in 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.080 their mind, is this readying him for the main roster 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.640 and all the sports entertainment that he's going to be doing. Yeah, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.760 I guess in their mind they do. I don't even 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.640 think they think that. I think they just came up 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.280 with a stupid idea. They needed a challenger for braun Breaker, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.760 and they looked at that whole roster they were like, 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.080 you know, you know who's gonna be a great challenger 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:15.680 for braun Breaker, Joe Gacy. Where's Powder? I don't know. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.600 He wasn't there. Maybe he watched this thing. He was like, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.600 I can't be involved in this. I'll go back to football. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.720 I'd rather do anything. And you know, I gotta I 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.040 gotta give the guy credit. I mean, you know, braun Breaker, 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.600 I mean low bar, but he was fine in these segments. 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.960 I mean, he was an angry He was an angry 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.920 guy looking around for a ring. It wasn't this horrible 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.800 acting that we see every time. You know, Persia parad 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:45.200 and uh, what's her face? Indie indie heart screen. I 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.960 mean it was it was like the the stuff was bad, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:16:17.360 but I mean he did find Observer Live. Check you're 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.960 listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:27.880 Semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. In the show, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.480 Bran Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike simber Viv, 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:35.800 also of Wrestling Observer dot Com, say something. He gave 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.080 me the look when we were going to break Joe 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:43.520 Gacy for what they want him to do is doing it. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.680 And I know the whole thing is annoying. But as 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.880 far as Joe Gacy's performance, much like Alexa Bliss, a 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.720 lot of the time, they're actually doing a good job. 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.280 It's just everything about it. It doesn't appeal to me. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.640 But you can't say that he breaker is doing this 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:05.240 great job, whereas Joe Gaycy isn't there doing a great job. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.000 But none of it appeals to me. That sounds like 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.240 they're doing an awesome job. Well, I mean, is it 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.320 more w W E in the stories are coming up with? 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.359 If Joe Gaycy was given this on his own, do 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.160 you think they could come up with something a little 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.800 bit better with with if it's Rex Steiner and Joe 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.120 Gaycy wherever the hell his name was before this, Like, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.720 do you think they'd come up with something better? I would? 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.560 I would think So, you know, a combined a w 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.159 Ring of honor event may happen one day if it 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.680 makes sense. According to the owner of both companies, didn't 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.439 we just see that it was Battle of the Belts? 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.840 Well sort of? What do you mean? Sort of? It 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.440 was totally a combined a w ring of combined. They 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.520 had one match on a three match card. It's not 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.640 a combined like we had a Ring of Honor matches. 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.879 We had a W matches. We had an a W 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.720 star with a Ring of Honor belt. I mean, no, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.119 you can't get more a W ring of You mean 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.600 the terminus champion. No, I'm talking about what's his face? 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.200 A Wheeler who is the pure champion of Ring of Honor. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.360 You already forget about that Wheeler? You ta is purely 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.399 a champion of Ring of Honor. Oh my god. So 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.560 he says that maybe one of these days, maybe one 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.000 of these days, there will be a combined show. Everybody, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.240 wait and see, that's the question, A try show. That's 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.639 what we're all looking for. All this banter about what 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:26.200 this this thing is gonna be tonight. The Briscoe is here, 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.160 by the way, so don't blame me. With the competition 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.680 for the NBA playoffs, RAW dropped to its lowest total 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.200 viewership number since the end of football season one point 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.800 six five million viewers overall point four seven and eighteen 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:45.560 and forty nine point three two in eighteen two thirty four. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.639 Major key was a big drop an hour three caused 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.680 by the Golden State Warriors, the best drawing team left 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.800 in the playoffs, versus Denver Nuggets. Game did three point 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.240 two two million viewers and one point eight in eighteen 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:02.000 forty nine Toronto Raptors Philadelphi is seventy six six against 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.040 the first two hours two point seven four million at 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.800 a point nine six in eighteen to nine twenty third 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.360 biggest first a third hour drop in history. A lot 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:12.720 of other stuff here. You know, he had a guy 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.960 yesterday that did say that obviously there was NBA competition, 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.119 but the I think it was a debut of the 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.080 final season of Better Call Saul. He accurately predicted it 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:25.879 would be going head to head starting an hour two 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.200 and was gonna kill Raw. And if you look at 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.120 the quarter hours for Raw, the first hour was very 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:36.959 very stable, downright totally fine, and then that that second 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.800 hour plunged in the third hour plunged even further. One 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.879 point eight zero million for the first hour, one point 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.680 six nine million for the second hour, one point four 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.880 six million for the third hour, one point three eight 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.359 million I believe for the final quarter. So that show 0:19:54.480 --> 0:20:02.400 fell off a cliff there. Eventually, Brandon Thurston has got 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:07.880 the the quarter hours here because I know that everyone's 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:12.560 gonna freak out about Oh Cody blah blah, blah. So 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:18.160 in viewers. Yes, the Cody match with Seth Rawlins did 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.840 one point three nine eight million viewers. That's bad. The 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:27.600 Cody interview with Seth the same two guys one point 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.600 eight one point nine million viewers, So it did the 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.080 highest and the lowest quarter of the show. So you 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.840 can't say, oh, it's all Cody's fault, it's all Seth's fault. No, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.280 it's just I mean literally the first the first hour 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.679 averaged one point eight million viewers, and the second that 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.800 second hour hit one seven, one six, one five, one 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:56.680 four one three. Also go to show that nobody cared 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:58.720 about who the mystery opponent was going to be for 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:05.240 Cody Roads, because it didn't help. That didn't help, you know, 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.920 good night for Roman reigns to take off, that's for sure, 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.439 you know, And maybe they they don't give them too 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.520 many more nights off at least while all this stuff 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.960 is happening, and you just advertise him for something, even 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.320 if it's just showing up in the last quarter just 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.160 to see if you can pop something, because I don't 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:22.480 know who. If it's not him or brock Lesner, I'm 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.480 not sure else it's gonna be able to move anything 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.879 or you know what else you're gonna be able to advertise. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:31.280 It's really gonna strike people's fancy. We've also got g 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.560 c W and i w TV have reached a settlement. 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.119 I w TV filed a lawsuit against g c W 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:41.960 for breach of contract in streaming service claimed they had 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.119 an exclusive agreement with the promotion for filming, producing, and 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.480 digitally distributing their pay per view content. I w TV 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.760 alleges g c W broke their deal when they began 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.120 streaming their events on Fight TV in December of twenty 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.600 g c W announced Wednesday they've reached a settlement. Gc 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.320 W police to announce that we have come to terms 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.080 in the settlement agreement with i w TV that brings 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.000 an end to litigation between the parties. We even represents 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.840 a significant milestone for g c W, but most importantly 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:17.440 serves as a victory for independent wrestling and it's fans. 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.480 Statement continues to say, as part of the settlement, g 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.760 c W will produce a series of eight live events 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:26.119 to be streamed on i w TV that will be 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:31.760 titled The Settlement Series. The Settlement Series, I like it, 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.200 Hey make some hey out of it. You're both gonna 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.240 make money whatever it's gonna be, and you're probably gonna 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.280 get some pretty good matches. It's some I t WTV. 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.119 I they their last couple of champions. I mean, you 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.760 you fought Orange Cassidy for that title wheel or you know, 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:48.720 was you know, I'm not sure who's got it now 0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:50.720 if you just still does are not I've kind of 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.040 lost track of it. But like, that's actually not a 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.439 bad thing. I would love to see the you know, 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.639 every once in a while, maybe on most WrestleMania weekend, 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.040 all weekend, something like that. I WTV having that type 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.800 of thing with all the promotions that they have under 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.239 their umbrella, to have kind of a series like that 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.720 against you know that defies or whoever it is, it's 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:13.760 not under their umbrella, It's not a bad idea. It 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:15.920 would probably work out pretty well for both. And we're 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:20.040 talking about being calling it the Settlement series. Why well, 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.679 you know, I remember it is obviously a little bit different. 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:27.760 But in uh are they mowing your walls? They're actually 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:33.720 the size of these machines for the lots are It's insane. Anyway, 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.920 I remember when I don't think I remember the COVID 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.159 Night Team pandemic. Heard of shut down the world. But 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:44.280 everything shut down around here about the second week of March, 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:49.720 and uh, there had been a there's a gym around here, 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:53.840 there's running a kids camp, and uh, it's gonna be 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.000 the end of March, two weeks after things that started 0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.320 to shut down, and they renamed it out Break Camp. 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:05.520 I didn't do very well that workout for him. Man 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:09.919 was poor choice of camp name. Casey canton Zaro has 0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:13.760 been given a new ring name. Now listen, everybody, listen 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:22.720 to me. Okay, listen. I am politely asking that before 0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:27.159 you completely ridicule this. She actually, you can go and 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.199 watch the video for yourself. Maybe it'll be better than 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:35.400 when I read what she said. In a video uploaded 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.040 after this week's n x T, it was confirmed that 0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.360 Caton Zara is now going by the name A ton 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:48.160 of Chance. Should have been like can not a chance Chance? 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.080
