121
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,120

122

127
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: from you and we'll send that out to you. But

128
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about the WWE Draft. It took place Monday

129
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: or Friday nights. A lot of things have changed since

130
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: the last draft. I remember last year they made it

131
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: seem like it was a legit, big thing because it

132
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: was the first night on Fox and they had Troy

133
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Aikman and Joe Buck and like the Fox robot from

134
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: Fox NFL Sunday, and like they made it a big deal.

135
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: And this year was just kind of like, Eh, Stephanie's

136
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna call the picks.

137
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that approach better. I think last year's

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: was a little much.

139
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: And it was very interesting with who they went with

140
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the nonumber one pick. And you look at last year's draft,

141
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the number one picks weren't there. So

142
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: let's let's kind of just dive right into this. So

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: with the number one pick, and here's what I don't

144
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: understand is why does raw always get the number one pick?

145
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: Like I get Is it just because of the flagship's brand.

146
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, Smackdowns putting out a better

147
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: product than Raw at the moment.

148
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just the whole it's it's a

149
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: longer show kind of a deal. So yeah, I guess

150
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: that's why they get more picks, and maybe that's why

151
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: they get the first pick.

152
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: But well they're definitely gonna need when you think about it.

153
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 5: Raw's been around longer.

154
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, twenty twenty five, twenty four.

155
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 5: Years, that's so yeah, maybe that's it.

156
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't remember. Yeah, I think SmackDown was like

157
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: ninety nine or two thousand, so Rall's like ten years older.

158
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: First episode January eleventh, nineteen ninety three was the first

159
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: episode of Raw.

160
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: So twenty seven years there we go.

161
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, so Raw gets the number one pick,

162
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: which no shocker. They go with Drew McIntyre and then

163
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: SmackDown has Roman reigns. So is their number one pick?

164
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: No surprise there, right, Yeah. I would have them throw

165
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: a curve.

166
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, not surprising, but also not very exciting to me.

167
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: That's probably the best way to say it.

168
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it wasn't.

169
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: There wasn't anything too exciting, Like, yeah, I wish that

170
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: they would throw a curve ball and be like with

171
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: the number one pick, wwe Raw selects humberto, like, just

172
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: throw something random out there, because we all know that

173
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: your your champions are gonna stay on the brand, So

174
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: why not just throw something random out there, Like the

175
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: number one pick with Raw, we select Corey Graves doing commentary.

176
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: I mean, throw the commentators.

177
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what wasn't it last year though the commentators

178
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,479
Speaker 1: were available in the draft.

179
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, I.

180
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: Think because it was like that was last year when

181
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: they did that hodgepodge. It was like Jerry Lawler and

182
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: two unknown guys on Raw and then they moved Corey

183
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Graves and it was Corey Renee and Michael Cole to

184
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: smack Down. I don't know, but so yeah, So so

185
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: your first round draft picks Raw gets Drew McIntyre, OSCA

186
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and the Hurt Business, and then SmackDown gets Roman Rings

187
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: and seth Rawlins in the first round, which and I

188
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: told this to Eli the other night. The thing that's

189
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: weird is so Raw's like we select the Hurt Business.

190
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: So you get four people with one big.

191
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 6: Yeah talking about that with like the New Day like

192
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 6: why did they have.

193
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 7: To be separated?

194
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 5: Sorry if you hadn't watched it right exactly?

195
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I know we've talked about it before,

196
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: but there's been a long rumored Biggie push singles push,

197
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: and I think a lot of people just assumed that

198
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: would happen with the New Day, kind of like Kofi

199
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: last year. You know, he never really left the New Day.

200
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: He just was doing single stuff. So I think that's

201
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: what everyone thought was gonna happen, But it does not

202
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: appear to be that way.

203
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: So I wonder if Big Eie's gonna get like maybe

204
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: new music and new like attire, ring gear.

205
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: Probably because he had different stuff in NXT. And then

206
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: I think right when he started on the main roster too, when.

207
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: He was he had that he had, he was like,

208
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: what was he Dolph Ziggler and AJ's bodyguard or like

209
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: just muscle back. Yeah. So yeah, So the Her business,

210
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: you get four people with one pick, and I don't

211
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: think SmackDown got a third pick for the first round,

212
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: which now they get.

213
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: Two picks and Row gets three because of the length

214
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: of the show.

215
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: So so that was an interesting thing and I was

216
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, the Hurt business, you got four top

217
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: tier guys could be top tiers. I mean, MVP has

218
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: brought back and researched all those guys' careers.

219
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm glad that they're kind of getting

220
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: acknowledged because they've been some of the best stuff on

221
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 4: TV since they formed this group, and they're rumored to

222
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: be the kind of the new Nation of Domination, and

223
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: they went this direction instead, and I think it's I

224
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 4: like it just as well as if they'd done it

225
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: as the Nation.

226
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: So right, And you know Seth Rollins being on SmackDown,

227
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: which is the I guess this is what the first

228
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: time that he's ever been a SmackDown.

229
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, first time.

230
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 6: And I guess tomorrow night we'll see him bid farewell to.

231
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: Raw so that we'll have our smack.

232
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Friday night Messiah, that's what he is. But

233
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: the thing that when I saw that Seth was going

234
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: to smack and I was like, oh god, and I

235
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: told this to Eli. I was like, I really don't

236
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: want to see Seth and Roman for an umpteenth thousand time.

237
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: But Eli made a very a very good point of

238
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: what could happen with Seth and Roman.

239
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 5: Let's hear.

240
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: I didn't know. If you want to me, this is how.

241
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Professional we are on this podcast. We just get on

242
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: here and talk.

243
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I could see him, uh, kind of

244
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 4: joining up with Roman. There's rumors of maybe a new

245
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: faction foreman with like Roman and the USA's which should

246
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 4: have happened like three years ago, to be honest with you,

247
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: but I can kind of see Seth, you know, aligning

248
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: with them and kind of doing this like a dark

249
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: shield kind of thing, you know, because I don't know.

250
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 4: I mean, they're both heels right now. I just don't

251
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 4: see them turning them turning either one of them at

252
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: the moment. So or maybe they just stay away from

253
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: each other, which was also a good.

254
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: Plan, especially after we've waited so long for heal Roman.

255
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: You he can't just make him go face. Yes, And

256
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: when I told you, when Eli said that, I told

257
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: him I was like, well, what if they do like

258
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: how they're building the Samoan dynasty, right, what if Seth

259
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Rollins is like the messiah for like the medicine man,

260
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: the whatever in the Samoan dynasty crew, like you have

261
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: Roman reigns as the chief and then Seth Rollins is

262
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: like the spiritual leader kind of thing. I don't know,

263
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: but I mean that's just a stretch. But you know,

264
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: after we saw Seth going to SmackDown. I know that

265
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: when I will in texting Eli, He's like, well, AJ's

266
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: going to Raw. And sure enough with the number two

267
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: with the second round pick first pick, AJ Styles goes

268
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: to Raw. They also snagged Naomi and Nya Jackson, Shana Blazler.

269
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: SmackDown gets Sasha Banks and Bianca bell Air, which I'm

270
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: pretty stoked about Bianca going to SmackDown.

271
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, me too, And I mean, I guess wondering if

272
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 6: that means that Street Profits will be making their way

273
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 6: that way to the Blue brand, But yeah, I love

274
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 6: Bianca so much, so I'm excited what she'll do on SmackDown.

275
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: And these promos they've been putting out for her are phenomenal.

276
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Just to go show, and WWE kind of likes to

277
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: keep you know, married couples together when it comes to shows,

278
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: even though that these shows are now in the same

279
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: you know venue, it's not the end of the world,

280
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: but ww tries to keep couples together just to make

281
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: sure that they're good.

282
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And with SmackDown winning the or New Day winning

283
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: the SmackDown titles and going to Raw, I mean, you

284
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 4: can only assume that the Street Profits are going to

285
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: take the Raw titles to smack down or drop them

286
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: Monday and then get drafted or something. But yeah, I

287
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: mean the rumors are Vance has big plans to push

288
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: Bianca bill Air and they've just been taking their time

289
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 4: with it, which is kind of aggravating because she got

290
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 4: called up, I guess right after WrestleMania, but she hasn't

291
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: really done anything. There is a rumor that Naomi may

292
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 4: join the Heart.

293
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Business, which I'm all for that.

294
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be incredible.

295
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: So especially with like the fact that Naomi was trending

296
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter, like because she didn't even put anything out,

297
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: and you know, the ww universe was like wanting her

298
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: to get pushed, and you know, they just kind of

299
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: squashed it. Yeah, And the other thing that I thought

300
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: about was, Okay, so Raw gets the Smack or the

301
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: Raw gets the Women's Tag Team Champions. But wasn't that

302
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: when they created that title. Wasn't it supposed to be

303
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: defended on both brands when they first did it, I believe.

304
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, when Bailey and Sasha one of them, they said

305
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: that they would defend them on all shows, and they

306
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 4: did pop up on NXT, but I don't think they

307
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: actually fought on n XT. But since then. I mean,

308
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 4: it's kind of an afterthought. I mean, honestly, after the

309
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 4: Iconics dropped it, like I've pretty much forgot about those titles.

310
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: I mean until I just saw this list and it

311
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: says Naya and Shano and then the Sea beside it,

312
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, they're the they're the tag champs,

313
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 4: so kind of kind of bombed. They're not really, they

314
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: don't really focus on those titles like I think a

315
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: lot of people thought they would. So yeah.

316
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, Plus, like the women's tag team division is not

317
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 6: like booming no for ww like Naya and Shana is

318
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 6: just such a strange for me.

319
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: And it's it's it's the thing that I've talked about

320
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 4: numerous times and I hate but the just the random

321
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 4: tag team pairings. You know that the two you know,

322
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 4: the two uh, it was kind of like what they

323
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 4: did with Pete Dunn and Matt Riddle, you know, like

324
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: two just completely different personalities and somehow they make it

325
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: work and boom there the champs and and you knew that,

326
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: you know they're going to turn on each other at

327
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 4: some point, and it's just yep, I just don't I

328
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 4: don't know, it's just I've always hated that, you know,

329
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: even going back to you know, the WrestleMania I went to.

330
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 4: It was braun Strumman and he picked that kid and

00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so when people ask me about my WrestleMania experience, like, oh,

340
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: it wasn't that great, I'll be honest, a ten year

341
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: old kid won a world.

342
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 5: Title unless you're the ten year old kid.

343
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna coast on that for at least the

344
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 4: next eight years.

345
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's gonna be his pickup line. Like I

346
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: know that there's a country artist. It's like he uses

347
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: this one song that he wrote that made it really

348
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: really big, and he's like I remember back in the day,

349

Speaker 4: twelve hours whatever it was down there, and you know,

368
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: Friday and Saturday were incredible, and then we get to

369
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: wrestle Amia. It's just like, Wow, this was a I

370
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 4: could have skipped this. I could have saved all this

371
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: money and just not gone to this event and still

372
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 4: had a better time than if I had.

373
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: So, but you did it to do other stuff there.

374
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: So it made the weekend better, Ain't that right, Champ?

375
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 5: So, all right, so we move on.

376
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: So we moved on to round three of the draft

377
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: and Raw selects Ricochet, Mandy Rose, The Miz, and Morrison

378
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: and earlier in the show, when seth Rawlins got drafted

379
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: to SmackDown, I was like, I even texted Eli. I

380
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: was like, yes, finally we're done with this stupid storyline

381
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: with seth Rawlins and Buddy and the Mysterios. And then

382
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: SmackDown comes in. It's like we select Jay Usso and

383
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Ray and Dominic Mysterio and I was like, fuck man, like,

384
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm so tired. I am so tired of this storyline,

385
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Like it is driving me crazy.

386
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they get in this like rerun mode where they

387
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 4: normally you know, like somebody, yeah, you know, like whatever.

388
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 4: Seth has the title and then he drops it to Roman,

389
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 4: and then the next pay per view they have the rematch,

390
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 4: and then the next pay per view they have the

391
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: Hell in the Cell match, and then the next paper

392
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: they have the you know, they have like a hundred matches,

393
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 4: you know, and then that's not even including all the

394
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: matches they do on the house shows leading up to

395
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: the pay per views exactly, and it's just like, oh

396
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: my god, I just I don't know. They've always there's

397
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 4: one year it seemed like this might be back, like

398
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, something like that. But

399
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: it seems like John Cena and Randy Orton were the

400
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 4: headliners for like seven of the pay per views that year,

401
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 4: Like they just beat that thing to death. And I

402
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 4: don't know. I mean, evidently Vince is he's a he's

403
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: a fan of Dominic's sister, and I don't even know

404
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: her names. I haven't been watching it.

405
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: So creepy old man, right, is it?

406
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 4: Aliyah? I think I think that's right. Yeah. Uh, he

407
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: just he just sees like stars potential in her.

408
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 6: So uh.

409
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going away.

410
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 6: For some people.

411
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: I think that's just gonna do it.

412
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: What makes things even creepier is it's like, you know

413
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: that Vince is back there in the gorilla position when

414
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: they're doing commentary, and he's like, make sure they know

415
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: she's nineteen. Hammer it in there that she's nineteen, and

416
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: Buddy Murphy's in his thirties, she's nineteen, And that was

417
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: all they kept saying, was like, she's nineteen. I was like, bro,

418
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: we get it, She's nineteen.

419
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 5: Oh God, don't make.

420
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: It creepier than it already. Is that buddy Murphy's like

421
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: slided in her DMS.

422
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's just like I just.

423
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 4: You know, they talk about like, you know, the attitude

424
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: error and how you know it changed the business, but like,

425
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: looking back on it, it hasn't especially aged well. There

426
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: was a lot of you know, especially concerning women, you know,

427
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: with the Brian Penny matches and the Yellow matches and

428
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 4: you know, the crap with Trishan Vince and I mean

429
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: just there was a lot of just not good stuff.

430
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 4: And you know, it seems like your average fan has

431
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: gotten to the point where, you know, it's not like

432
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: they don't want storylines at all, but they just they're

433
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: more interested in good matches, you know. And I think

434
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: that's why AW was created, and I think that's why

435
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 4: they're doing so well. And you know, they continue to

436
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 4: do this crap like who wants to see this? Like

437
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: I didn't even I didn't even know Raymonsterior had a

438
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 4: daughter to begin with. And two you know, Murphy has

439
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 4: like clawed his way out of the gutter to get

440
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: to a spot just for them to be like, Okay,

441
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 4: now you're gonna do this like romance thing with a

442
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 4: nineteen year old, Like I wouldn't want to. I don't

443
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 4: even want to talk to a nineteen year old, much

444
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: less like freaking try to, you know, I don't know.

445
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like why would anyone agree to that? Like

446
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: especially Ray.

447
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: Like what it's like, let me just put my daughter

448
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: out there in this weird storyline and then just be

449
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: like Buddy Murphy is like make Buddy Murphy's gonna make

450
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: her drink the kool Aid and she's gonna be like,

451
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, part of the Messiah Crew and she's gonna

452
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: give her life to God. And you know, I have

453
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: thirty thousand kids. I don't know, but yeah, it's just

454
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: it's it's I just want this storyline to be over with,

455
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: Like I just need it to be done. I really

456
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: thought that, you know, with with Dominic being so good

457
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: in the ring after a handful of matches, I was like, yeah,

458
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep him on Raw, but then it's like nope, nope, nope,

459
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: SmackDown's getting not only seth rawlins. And of course we

460
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: find out later I guess I'll maybe talking smack or whatever.

461
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: The buddy Murphy's going to smack Down two. So it's like,

462
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I can't do this storyline anymore. Like SmackDown has some

463
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: of the best right yes, and SmackDown has some of

464
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the best storylines going right now, and now you bring

465
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: on this shit again, and I'm just like, I don't

466
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: want this anymore as a wrestling fan, being up front, honest,

467
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: I don't want anymore. Seth Buddy Ray and Dominic, like,

468
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: give Dominic something else. Let Dominic be Dominic, let him

469
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: spread his wings.

470
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 5: And fly exactly.

471
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 6: And maybe that's uh how they're trying to get Aliya

472
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 6: to break into the scene. I guess maybe she's doing

473
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 6: the same thing, but hopefully they can make it through

474
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 6: the storyline.

475
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's.

476
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: But another cool thing though that happened in the third round.

477
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: So of course Ricochet goes to raw. Morrison's on roll

478
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: and Ricochet sends out the thing of like, now, how

479
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: are we gonna make this happen? Morrison and and and

480
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: Rikoshet And as most people know, if you've watched Luke Underground,

481
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: you knew that they had a big storyline in Luca

482
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: underground as King Puma and Johnny what was he Johnny.

483
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 4: Johnny Mundo, Yes, Prince actually Prince Puma. Sorry, okay, you're

484
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: just wrong.

485
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was wrong. I'm out of it at the moment,

486
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: so please forgive me.

487
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 4: He did shoot down rumors though, like I guess some

488
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: people were not only talking about that, but they're also'll

489
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 4: talking about like why don't you bring back Prince Puma

490
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 4: And He's like, no, no, that's not happening. So I

491
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 4: think we I think we'll probably still get the match,

492
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: but it's it'll you know which. The surprising thing to

493
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 4: me is just with all the rumors about Ricochet, for

494
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: him to be picked third on rall was or the

495
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 4: third round, you know, was pretty surprising.

496
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that's that contract negotiation talks.

497
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 4: I guess so, because I think his is up in January,

498
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: so I don't know, we'll see. But yeah, anyways.

499
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: So so moving on to the fourth round, and I

500
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: actually have an audio clip of this one. But the

501
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: thing that shocked everybody, of course was the New Day

502
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: And well here's the audio from that that draft. And

503
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: I felt so bad for Exavier, so I'm gonna play

504
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: the audio for you guys.

505
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: The first pick of the last round, Monday Night Raw

506
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: selects the New SmackDown Tag team champions Kobe Kingston.

507
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: Bay or what wait a minute, that that makes a

508
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: stock out tactic finals going to Bunny Nights, Like just

509
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: keep getting more unfair? What we didn't say, say Ethning

510
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: say Ethny the emotion.

511
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: Second pick, SmackDown selects Biggie.

512
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Like you could just hear the emotion and Xavier of

513
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: like what about eat and that for for them to

514
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: be together for so long and then splitting up, like

515
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: we've all wanted it to get split up, but now

516
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it kind of hurts a little. Yeah, and.

517
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 6: Especially when Zayer're just you know, coming back on the

518
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 6: scene for this to happen. But you know we saw

519
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 6: early in the night Biggie win against Seamus and man that.

520
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Was a match us, yeah it was. But yeah, so

521
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: New Day gets split up, and you know this is

522
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: where it's a it's an okay for it to split

523
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: up because you didn't want you still want them to

524
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: remain faces. So you didn't want Big E to turn

525
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: on you know, Kofe and Xavier and do a whole

526
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: shield route again kind of thing. And Xavier talked about it.

527
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: He was like, he wants Big Eie to have all

528
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: he wants everybody to have all the titles. You can

529
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: go back and listen to that show when Xavier was

530
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: on our show talking about it. But I mean, he's

531
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: all for Big Ee getting the spotlight in the Big

532
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Push and this is this is the thing, and Big

533
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: Ee is getting his singles run on SmackDown. I wouldn't

534
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: be surprised. You can go ahead and mark this because

535
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: we're recording this show on Sunday. It is Sunday, October eleventh,

536
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: eleven forty two am. Mark this. Big Ee will win

537
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: the World Rumble next year.

538
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 4: It's not a bad prediction.

539
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: I like it, So I think that's gonna happen.

540
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 4: And then you like Evince, there's a lot of meat

541
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 4: in that ring. So so then or did he say beef?

542
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: I think he's a beef beef.

543
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: That good old events with the weird, the weird captions.

544
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: But Raw also picked up Dana Brook and Angel Garza,

545
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: and then SmackDown picked up Otis, which split up Heavy Machinery,

546
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: which I was very surprised that.

547
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 4: They did that. I'll comment, I think Dana broke in

548
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: Mandy Rose is going to be a good tag team.

549
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: For some reason, it keeps I keep visualizing Fit and Fab,

550
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: like I think that's that would be a cool name

551
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: because they're both freaking brick.

552
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: Houses, and yeah, shout out Camille.

553
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: As far as Heavy Machinery, I mean, in my mind

554
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 4: they've been broken up already. I mean, like they they

555
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: kind of moved on to Otis and he won money

556
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: in the bank and he was quote unquote dating Mandy Well.

557
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: Tucker was hurt for most of that too, so he.

558
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: Did he didn't have the injury, but I think he

559
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: was cleared. Like I want to say, like August.

560
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: He was the times that I that I got into

561
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: the Thunderdome. He was wrestling in those early matches like

562
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: the main event, the dart match, whatever you want to

563
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: run in a Superstars. So Tucker, they pretty like.

564
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, it got to a point during the

565
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 4: summer I had to google who was the other guy

566
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 4: in Heavy Machinery. I was just like, all I hear

567
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: about is otis this, Otis otis this, he won the

568
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 4: money in the bank, blah blah blah. Wasn't there another dude?

569
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 4: I Mean I literally had to google it. Because I

570
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 4: forgot so in my mind that that one wasn't really

571
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 4: that surprising, just because they've kind of put all the

572
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: focus on Otis.

573
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: So but now it's now, and I think we talked

574
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: about this. It's like, okay, what happens now? Because Otis

575
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: is the money in the bank, you know, winter and

576
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: he's got the contract and Otis kept saying, I'm gonna

577
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: cash it in for the tag team titles. I'm gonna

578
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: do this. Let's be honest, Like, as much as I

579
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: love Otis because me being a big guy and Otis

580
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: is representing for all of us big guys across the world,

581
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if Otis is heavyweight champion material just yet.

582
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: No, no, And I mean.

583
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 6: I did see that, you know, they were using this

584
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 6: sight to give him his big push before he even

585
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 6: cashes in on his uh contract.

586
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: So maybe after that, But I don't know.

587
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: I agree though, I and you know, I think there's

588
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: got to be something, And I remember talking about this

589
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: like he's gonna end up. I have a feeling that

590
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: Otis is going to lose the contract, whether it be

591
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: I think Eli had mentioned that Otis loses it during

592
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: this legal thing with miss Or maybe Otis puts it

593
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: up in a match and be like, I'm gonna put

594
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: my you know, money in the bank contract up right now.

595
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: If you win, you can have it kind of thing.

596
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: When somebody said too, like, I guess they had a

597
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 4: screenshot of the contract that it was from like twenty

598
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: sixteen or twenty seventeen, so they're they're going to be like, well,

599
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: that's it's voided anyway. It's an old con you know.

600
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 4: I think they're I don't know. I think when it happened,

601
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, screw it, let's just let him have it.

602
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 4: See what happens, and then they're kind of rolling with

603
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 4: like this might have been the wrong choice, you know,

604
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: So like I don't know. I mean, now that they've

605
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 4: split them up, yeah, I mean I don't see him

606
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 4: cashing it in and winning the world title. I mean,

607
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: he's not gonna beat Drew mc tire. Fucking they're not

608
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: gonna let him beat Roman.

609
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: Hell No, as much as I love Otis, that ain't

610
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: never happening. Like Otis, If you're listening to this, I

611
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: love you, but that I'm sorry, just being completely honest

612
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion. So finally, the fifth and final round

613
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: for the night. You had Humberto, Drew Gulac and Tucker

614
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: going to Raw and then SmackDown got Murphy and Callisto

615
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: and I was like that gun it. Thanks Murphy, you

616
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: could have been the saving grace that we never had

617
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: to see that again, which we've already talked about, but

618
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: you go to SmackDown. Congrats to Drew Gulak, especially somebody

619
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: that didn't he get let go during the Black Wednesday

620
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: and then they brought him back.

621
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, I hadn't seen or heard his name

622
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: in a long time, so you know the fact that

623
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 4: he got named on the first first night was pretty surprising.

624
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, also happening that night on SmackDown.

625
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: Of course the world was shocked the fact that Lars

626
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Sullivan returned. But now you know, he didn't get drafted,

627
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: but he apparently he had been suspended and injured and

628
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: you know hasn't wrestled since last year. But of course

629
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff came out of you know, the comment

630
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: and you know the stuff that he did in his

631
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: past that surfaced on the internet and some other stuff.

632
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: I was really surprised that he's still there.

633
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he it seems like he would have been an

634
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 4: obvious choice to cut and just move on from. But yeah,

635
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: that's not the way WW does business.

636
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they obviously must see something in him, Like

637
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: I get it, he's a big guy, but I just

638
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't talk, and in NXT he just

639
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: pretty much just ran through everybody. But I don't think

640
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: he ever won the NXT title, did he?

641
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 4: He did not. He was in I want to say

642
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 4: he was in that the takeover that I went to.

643
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 4: He was in the ladder match for the North American title,

644
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 4: the one that one.

645
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they obviously must see something in Lars

646
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: that that we don't see. I had a if I

647
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: have a feeling because he didn't get drafted, I probably

648
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: would say that he goes on too raw and they

649
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: try to make him be the one eventually to take

650
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: it from Drew if I had the pencil, That's what

651
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they're going to try to do.

652
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: Well, that would piss a lot of people off, So

653
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: I hope they don't do that.

654
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then of course you got other people that

655
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: are undrafted, Elijah Shorty, g Mickey James who actually he

656
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: tweeted about being undrafted, but she's out with a broken

657
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: nose for a few weeks, right, Yeah, yeah, she And

658
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: just to just.

659
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 4: To confirm it was Adam call E C three Killian Dane,

660
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 4: Lars Sullivan Ricochet of Velveteene Dream, Jesus Man was that

661
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 4: was probably the match of the night, if I'm being honest.

662
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: So anyways, yeah, I just I think I think a

663
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 4: lot of people just they just have a bad opinion

664
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: about Lars and if they if they put him over

665
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 4: Drew McIntyre, who's just having this incredible comeback story. I

666
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 4: just I don't know, it's kind of like I don't

667
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 4: think they're that dumb.

668
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean it's it's kind of like Velveteen Dream,

669
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: like there's no way, Like you look at the past

670
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: couple of matches he's been in at Takeover, he's lost them.

671
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: Like they're not about to put the title on velveteen

672
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Dream after everything that's happened, just like Matt Riddle's kind

673
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: of been, you know, not been a very big focal

674
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: point on SmackDown, especially with more of the news coming

675
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: out of more lawsuits happening, which we're not going to

676
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: get into that because you can google it, but you know,

677
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: there are the draft is happening on Monday night Rawl,

678
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: so you've got there's twenty one men still available, Sammy

679
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: Zaan Onriday, Alixer Black, Daniel Bryant, Corbin Apola, Cruz. I'm

680
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: really surprised that they threw Dabo Kato in there from

681
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: Raw Underground. That's the only highlight of Raw Underground. You

682
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: got Eric Jeff Hardy, Keith Lee, which I'm surprised he

683
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: didn't get drafted the first night, Randy Orton as well,

684
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: Uh Broun Stroman which Broun didn't get drafted, very shocker.

685
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: But they already announced that oh bron Struman's wrestling Roman

686
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: reigns for the title for the season premiere of SmackDown

687
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: on Friday night, So I'm like, so is he on

688
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: SmackDown now or.

689
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean unless they are still doing that wild

690
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 4: card crap, which I haven't heard in a long time,

691
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: so they're not anymore. But uh yeah, I mean like

692
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 4: bray Watt didn't get announced.

693
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: And he was what number one or number two last year?

694
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin Owens, you know with the ladies, I mean,

695
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 4: I mean, Bailey likes the Bliss, Carmela and Nikki Cross,

696
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: Lacy Evans, Charlotte, Billy, kay Lena and Natalia, Peyton, Royce,

697
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 4: Tamna and Zelina. So I mean that's like, I mean,

698
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 4: that's like the bulk of the division, you know. So

699
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be a lot of stuff happening

700
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 4: on Rawle this week. Again, I won't be watching it,

701
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 4: but you know, I think I think a lot of

702
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: people are surprised Retribution like nothing was mentioned about them

703
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 4: at all, you know, and Mercedes Martinez is already out

704
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 4: of the group. I guess she's already back, So that's

705
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 4: kind of surprising. I am excited that Ali's kind of

706
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 4: the leader. Now. You know, he's been posting for months

707
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 4: now about he's you know, he's a main event this

708
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 4: week and he's putting on the match of the week

709
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: and you know, just give me a shot and blah

710
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: blah blah and all this stuff and then boom, he's

711
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 4: I guess the hacker slash Retribution leader. So you know,

712
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: anything that gets eyes on him as.

713
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: A win in my book, so exactly. And you know,

714
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: now this is the time to finally because they pretty

715
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: much gave up on the hacker thing. They never told

716
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: anybody that who the hacker was, but I think now

717
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: is the time that you could tie in the hacker

718
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: and Ali let him cut a promo and be like,

719
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, for months, I was doing this and hacking

720
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: things and getting things together, and I was picking and

721
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: choosing who I wanted. I wish they didn't change their

722
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: name to like slap nuts and T Jack and whatever, but.

723
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 5: You know that's what kills it for because like, I

724
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 5: can't take it.

725
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: What is Mia Yim's name? Didn't they give her like

726
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: shadow or something?

727
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were they were gonna give her something. It

728
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 4: was kind of almost had a sexual innuendo to it,

729
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: like shatter or pelvic thrust or or whatever.

730
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: It was.

731
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 4: So like it's almost like they found a book from

732
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety four and it's like you know, the nineteen

733
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 4: ninety four official street names or something, you know, and

734
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: they're like, yo, what's up? T Dot, Like I don't know,

735
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: like it just it just sounds so like no, it

736
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 4: just is so stupid. And like, you know, we've had

737
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 4: this invasion angle for decades now, and when Battle and

738
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 4: I talked to Dan sever and we actually were looking

739
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 4: up they had an NWA invasion angle in like nineteen

740
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 4: ninety seven, so like three years before they bought WCW

741
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 4: and had the like the big invasion angle that everybody

742
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: knows about. I mean, they they did that already like

743
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 4: three years before that with the NWA, and you know,

744
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 4: we've had variations of this for literally decades now, and

745
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 4: you know, just the whole they're you know, destroying transformers

746
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 4: and you know, throwing the power out everywhere, doing all

747
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 4: this crap, and then they're like, Okay, well here's some contracts,

748
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 4: Like why would you do that that? It makes no sense,

749
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 4: you know. So like I just think whoever's running this

750
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 4: story is just they don't know what they're doing.

751
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm.

752
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: Excited for the people in the group, but I'm not

753
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 4: excited for the story they have because this just strikes

754
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 4: me as like this is going to be done by WrestleMania.

755
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 4: This is going to be a six month thing. They'll

756
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 4: probably be featured at the Survivor series, they'll probably do

757
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: the Royal Rumble individually, and then by you know, by

758
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 4: WrestleMania and April, we won't even be talking about this

759
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 4: group anymore.

760
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: So I don't even know if they don't my prediction,

761
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know, if they'd make it past Survivor series,

762
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: I think that they would just be like they would

763
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: dismember after that if they lose, kind of like how

764
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: NXT or Naxus did, you know.

765
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 4: I can just I mean, after a Survivor series, they

766
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 4: have like six to eight weeks of nothing going on

767
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 4: really until Royal Rumble, so I can kind of see

768
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: him stretching it out to the Royal Rumble. I mean,

769
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 4: they need bodies in that match, so I can see

770
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 4: them all getting called in individually. But then after that,

771
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: I just I don't know how much they're gonna put

772
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 4: into it. So I mean, I'm art, I don't know

773
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 4: about you too, but as you know, active wrestling fans,

774
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 4: we actively do a podcast, we're actively involved somewhat. I'm

775
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 4: already over it, and I don't even know if they've

776
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 4: had an official well maybe like two official matches, you

777
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 4: know what I mean. Like I'm already done with it

778
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 4: and I don't even care at this point.

779
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: The only thing exciting to me was that all he's

780
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: the leader now, so yeah, so it's it should be

781
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: interesting with the retribution thing. Some other people that were

782
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: not drafted. Of course, we talked about the Street Profits

783
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: earlier they're the champions. Probably Well, here's what I'm thinking,

784
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: So Cizarro and Knackamore were not drafted, they lost the titles.

785
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised it because they've been good together.

786
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: Like I I at first, I was like, this is

787
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: so stupid Cizarrow and Knockamore. They're like, we don't have

788
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: anything to do, Let's throw you guys in a tag team.

789
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: They've actually gelled really good, So I can see them

790
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: being the Raw A tag or yeah, the Raw Tag

791
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: team champions, beating the Street Profits and then them going

792
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: over to smack down. But I mean, I could be wrong.

793
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 4: Cizarrow is the only exception to that rule. I think

794
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 4: he's the only one that gets thrown into these random

795
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 4: tag teams that makes it work, like him and Tyson

796
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 4: Kidd and him and Czarrow and him and shinsk Now, Like,

797
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 4: if they do a random thing with the like him,

798
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 4: I'll be on board with it, mainly because he's incredible,

799
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 4: But every every other scenario I'm just not fan of,

800
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 4: Like Nia Jacks and Shanea. They're going to break up

801
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 4: any day now and fight again, and it's just it's

802
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 4: so predictable.

803
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: You know, and maybe they get the bar back together

804
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: because you know, Seamus hasn't been drafted yet, so maybe

805
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: cizzarrow my impression, yes, please, Oh what was it?

806
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 4: What did they I already forgot what I said. We

807
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 4: don't what is it? We don't raise the bar, we

808
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 4: are at the bar? Is that what it was?

809
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: I think?

810
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 5: So, yes, that's what they sound that forbus No.

811
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 4: After he told me to quit drinking energy drinks.

812
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 5: I was just like, all right, yeah, energy drink. I

813
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 5: think of that.

814
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 4: I was like, well, I'm not gonna like do this

815
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 4: really terrible pirate impression to this guy's face.

816
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 5: You're lost.

817
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: But yeah. So some some other people that are on

818
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: the list that people have kind of noted. Of course,

819
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: Becky Lynch, she's out being uh with with pregnancy leave,

820
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: maturity leave. I don't know why I said pregnancy leave.

821
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy Usso, who is out injured, but he showed up

822
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: at the pay per view, so I think that he'll

823
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: end up going to SmackDown. I don't think they would

824
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: split them. The usso's up, especially if they're going to

825
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: do this, you know, chief of you know, the Island

826
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: or whatever with Roman reigns kind of stuff. Yeah, Sonya Deville,

827
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: which you know she took off time. Of course the

828
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: storyline she's no longer under WW contract, but you know

829
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: when all that happened, and you know, it made perfect

830
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: sense for her to come off after dealing with the

831
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: guy that pretty much tried to kidnap her. You've got

832
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: edge and gender Mahal Samo, Joe Mojo, Riley bo Dallas,

833
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: which we talked about, which I mean it's still crazy.

834
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: October thirty first, twenty nineteen, it was his last match.

835
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,479
Speaker 4: And then on the list everyone has forgotten about.

836
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely want to skip over them on this

837
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: list just because of everything. And then part.

838
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: Timers, you know, maybe they can just cut the fat

839
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: and you know, yeah.

840
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: There you go, poor poor h What was the other guy?

841
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: Because it was Buddy Murphy's prod uh his partner Blake, Yes,

842
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: Blake is phenomenal. I don't know why Blake and.

843
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 4: Murphy were killer tech teams many like they were when

844
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 4: I first got back into it. I think they were

845
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 4: still the next Team champs and they had Ale Likesa

846
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 4: as their manager because she she came out in the

847
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 4: Freddy Kruger thing. Whoa, that's freaking awesome. So yeah, they

848
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 4: were a good tech team. I think they both can

849
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 4: do well singles. Obviously Murphy's been incredible, but yeah, he

850
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 4: just unfortunately got into a bad faction.

851
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: With one of those. Yeah, and then of course part timers,

852
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: you got Big Show Johnsy and a goldberg Runder, Rousey

853
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: and the Undertaker.

854
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: So no, it's funny I didn't I didn't see Johnson.

855
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, hold on, where's it at? Where's it at that?

856
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: Let's let's get this.

857
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 4: Up there it is.

858
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: I had to make sure I didn't hit the wrong

859
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: button again. But yeah, So so that kind of Night

860
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: one of the draft. Of course, Night two is uh,

861
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: you know Monday nights, which is tonight if you're listening this,

862
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: because we release a show on Monday. So Night two

863
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 1: of the drafts happens tonight. I'm surprised. There's probably gonna

864
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: be some surprises that happened.

865
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 4: I mean, Sammy's Ain's probably gonna stay on SmackDown because

866
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 4: Bobby Lashley's gonna be overall, so they don't have the

867
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 4: US and Intercontinent on the same thing. So like, we

868
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 4: know that's probably happening. You know, I think they officially

869
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 4: did say that NXT is not involved in the draft,

870
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 4: so we're not gonna see any NXT people coming up.

871
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I think most of this will

872
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 4: be sorted by Monday and then you'll have, you know,

873
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 4: kind of the repeat of the Heast Slater you know,

874
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 4: give me, I don't have a contract when we are

875
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 4: away on the show or you know all that kind

876
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 4: of crap. So so I don't know, I mean, I

877
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 4: don't really care about these drafts, you know, like I'm okay,

878
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 4: like if it's like Seth Rollins just showed up on

879
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 4: SmackDown one night and was just like, hey, I'm on SmackDown. Now, okay,

880
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 4: that's time with me. Like you don't have to do

881
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 4: this whole production, in this whole you know, let's bring

882
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 4: in Troy and let's bring in the Road. But you know,

883
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 4: like I know they're not doing it this year, but

884
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 4: anyways last year, like I don't really care, you know,

885
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 4: like just just just put them where.

886
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 6: They're gonna go, you know, like yeah, and everybody's always

887
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 6: hopping around anyways, you know. So like when you know,

888
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 6: Charlotte was going all across all the brands.

889
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, I agree with that.

890
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 4: So I mean it's you know, whatever that.

891
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I I going to what you were talking about,

892
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: the heat Slayer thing. Who is that person you think

893
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: would be the one that runs around and does the

894
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: free agency. I'm thinking are Truth is gonna be that person?

895
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 4: I could I could see it being Mickey, to be honest,

896
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 4: I think they've kind of made a big deal about

897
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 4: her lately, and she you know, she fought uh Oscar

898
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 4: even though that was kind of a crappy match or

899
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 4: the ending was, I should say, And then they had

900
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 4: the big thing with her and Trish and then they

901
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 4: had the thing on the network, the Best of Mickey James. Like,

902
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 4: they're kind of putting a lot of like attention on

903
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 4: her right now. They're not really pushing her, but they

904
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 4: are giving her attention, so I can kind of see her,

905
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 4: you know, kind of doing the whole like, you know,

906
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 4: I know, I've been here fifteen years, but I'm not

907
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 4: done and blah blah blah. A that either that or

908
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 4: Chad Gable. I could see Shorty g Yeah, hopefully that

909
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 4: name disappears, but yeah, you know whatever, it's a you

910
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 4: know whatever.

911
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: Well, well we'll kind of see how it goes and

912
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: figure out all that fun stuff. But yeah, yeah, so

913
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: that that kind of concludes this episode, and uh, you know,

924
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,759

926

Speaker 4: the Rose was there. I don't think so.

998
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't think. That's the one thing I interjecting for

999
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: a second. That's the one thing I love about Impact

1000
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: and a W is they're letting their superstars still kind

1001
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: of do these one off things because they know that's

1002
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: where they came from. Whereas you know, w W, they're

1003
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: not gonna let roam in go wrestle at Florida Championship

1004
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: Wrestling for like an appearance.

1005
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1006
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 4: I think Brian Pillman Jr. He mentioned that he actually

1007
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 4: thanked Tony Kahan for that because I mean, honestly, I

1008
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 4: could see g c W doing a almost like a

1009
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 4: World's Collide, like a supercard, you know, kind of like

1010
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 4: they they had something like that in about eighty eight,

1011
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 4: and it was like the AWA, the c WA, which

1012
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 4: was Memphis, and then the WCCW which was World Class

1013
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 4: in Texas, like the von Erics, and they all teamed

1014
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 4: up to do the supercard to kind of go against

1015
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 4: Vince in WrestleMania. And I think that's the match that

1016
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 4: Jerry Lawler beat Kerrie Van Eric and unified the belts

1017
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 4: and he was like the unified World Champion. And it

1018
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 4: didn't it didn't beat Vince Obviously, they all those organizations followed.

1019
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 4: I think Events owns all of them now as a

1020
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 4: matter of fact. Anyways, I mean, you know, if you

1021
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 4: if you have access to impact talents and aw talent,

1022
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 4: and even some new japan talent that can come and go,

1023
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, GCW people independent stuff. I mean, they could

1024
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 4: legitimately have like a a super card that's everyone that's

1025
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 4: not WWE, you know, and I think this weekend's kind

1026
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 4: of an indication of that. Even with the social distancing

1027
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 4: and not as many people in the rings and blah

1028
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 4: blah blah. I mean, it's still just it was an

1029
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 4: incredible event.

1030
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 7: So it looks like they took good precautions to wipe

1031
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 7: down the roads and stuff.

1032
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're one of the few. Oh. Also gonna
