What a Florida Marlins had? 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 4: Is that? 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: What that is? Yeah? 33 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to West Palm Beach this week and the Keys, 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 4: the Florida Keys, So I just went with the random 35 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: Florida the state in jail. You know, they don't have 36 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 4: a key's hat or a West Palm Beach hat. 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: So they have to at some random tourist shop. You 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: got to go get a West Keys hat and everyone 39 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: will go, what's that from? 40 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: And then you can't made with glitter glue. 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 4: It's all floppy, but you know the town's hat. 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: I, sir, have a Dotson hat on because I love 43 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: old school Japanese cars. So that' says Dotson in Japanese. 44 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: My buddy Mac got me this hat. It's pretty sweet. 45 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 4: You don't wear a lot of hats, at least I 46 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 4: haven't seen you wear a lot of hats. 47 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: I don't. 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't I used to when I was a kid. 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: I just I got out. Once I cut all my hair, 50 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: my long hair short. It was easy to manage, and 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: I stopped wearing hats. I think that's what it was. 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: Two things about the hat that maybe the audience doesn't 53 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 4: know about me. One, if I'm ever wearing I have 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 4: to wear headphones. I wear a hat because I'm like 55 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 4: the combo of a hat and headphones I think looks better. 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 4: And Two, the more successful I get, the less I 57 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: want to wear a hat because I want people to 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 4: recognize me. 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: I do.

Okay, so a lot happened 83 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: in wrestling. A lot happened in wrestling. I'll get this 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: out of the way first, I guess before we get 85 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: into predictions. 86 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: I'm not a Goldberg guy. 87 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: I was never compelled by any of his promos. And 88 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: the only match that I ever liked he did was 89 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: against Regal, and that was kind of a dirty match. 90 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 3: If you want to watch it on YouTube, Rigel just 91 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: kind of school fa mismatch. 92 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pretty famous match, but not everybody that 93 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: listens to us as a diehard. So this is something 94 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: you could watch and you'll see the history of it 95 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: in the commons sections. 96 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: But Regal is pretty cool and I actually got to 97 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: work with. 98 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: Him a little bit when I was at WWE, and 99 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: I really liked him a lot, and he was very 100 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: very kind and generous with me with the history of 101 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: wrestling and storytelling and things like that. 102 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: So I'm not a big Goldberg guy. 103 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: I hope Gunther wins the match quickly we can get 104 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: onto the other matches because I think the other matches 105 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: will be a lot better. But Jeff, I'll let you 106 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: take over if you want to throw anything in there. 107 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: I think I'm as annoyed as the other wrestling fans 108 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: that Goldberg let's gets to just waltz in and get 109 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 4: like a title match. 110 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: I think that that is. 111 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 4: Something everyone is equally annoyed about, you know. It's like 112 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 4: it just doesn't make any sense in my opinion. How like, 113 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 4: I think they did a little lazy job of just 114 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: letting him walk right in and now he gets like 115 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: a title match. I too, was also never really a 116 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 4: Goldberg guy. I think I was at first the first 117 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: twenty squash matches where he just came in in WCW 118 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 4: and he was kind of like this super hulked out 119 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: version of stone cold Steve Austin where there was like, 120 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 4: you know, without the mic work on that stuff, but 121 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 4: just a bald white guy with muscles and a goatee, 122 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 4: just squash and everybody. 123 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 3: I liked him at Sweet Walkout. Sweet Walk Out for sure, 124 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. 125 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 4: It was a great entrance and they would just come 126 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 4: in and do the move and it would be over 127 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 4: in like twenty seconds. I kind of liked all that, 128 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 4: But I think I kind of liked all that because 129 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 4: I was a teenager. I was a kid, and so 130 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 4: maybe that's all I really cared. I was like, oh, 131 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 4: he's it's so cool, and it kind of worked. But 132 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: now that I am this age and we care about 133 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 4: wrestling and we care about story, you gotta do a 134 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 4: little bit better than letting him just waltz in and 135 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: get his final match and it's a title match. The 136 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 4: whole thing just stinks to high heaven in my opinion. 137 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't need That's all I have to 138 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: say about those things. 139 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: So that's all the stinky poo. We have time for today, 140 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: Let's get into Night of Champion predictions. Okay, first up, man, 141 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: my allergies are like driving me crazy to dow and 142 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: usually have them. It's a beautiful day in Los Angeles, 143 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: but apparently everything I'm allergic to is blown through the window. 144 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: It's how it works. The Women's Queen of the Ring Tournament. 145 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: We made this prediction quite some time ago, but I'll 146 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: maintain my philosophy on this. The winner of this tournament 147 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: goes on to Summer Slam, which is always a great 148 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: pay per view. It used to always be in La 149 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: I missed that. It's not here anymore. That was always 150 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: a fun one to go to. And they're going to 151 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: face the champion of their respective brand.

They've really protected her 174 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: and brought her along and started now to give her 175 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: some solo matches, and I think this is where it's 176 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: going to kind of come to fruition, or you could 177 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: say Oscar is now back and healthy and this is 178 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: going to be her storyline to go. But I think 179 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: I would rather see her get an organic storyline than 180 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: a tournament storyline. I'm not if you guys know you 181 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: know me at all by now you know I'm not 182 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: big into tournaments, even the Queen of the Ring. I'm 183 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: not into the Owen Heart tournament. I like stories. More 184 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: tournaments are okay, like once every couple of years for me. 185 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: But otherwise I'm like, okay, here we go tournament. This 186 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: one I'm uniquely interested in because I want to see 187 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: what they do with Jade. I think this is the 188 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: time for her to get the push. It could be 189 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Whether she wins at SummerSlam or 190 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: not is irrelevant. It's more about how she performs in 191 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: these matches and in a championship match. But I'm picking 192 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: Jade Cargill to win Queen of the Ring at SummerSlam. 193 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: Our producer Alex, who is damned sure better than me 194 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: at these picks on the last two pay per views, 195 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: is also picking Jade Cargill to win this. So nobody 196 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: believes in poor Roxan Perez unless Jeff goes against the grain. 197 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: Mister contrarian, what's saying, sir. 198 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 4: I'm a contrarian, but I'm never a contrarian just to 199 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 4: be a contrarian, only when I genuinely believe it. I 200 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 4: think Jade Cargill is definitely going to win this and 201 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 4: I can't picture anyone that's gonna look better with that 202 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: crown on. 203 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: Oh that's a great point. That's it's too big for Roxanne. 204 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: It like slip over her. 205 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: So dope with like that crown. Like certain people just 206 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 4: the wear the crown great. Like Booker t is a 207 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 4: great example, bro, because he's so jacked. It like fits perfectly, 208 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: and he's still it doesn't dwarf him because he's still 209 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 4: so big. Bro. He looks like an action figure when 210 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 4: he wears it, and I think Jade Cargill will have 211 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: that same action figure effect. So I'm definitely not only 212 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 4: do I believe she's going to win, but I'm excited 213 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 4: because I think she'll look cool. 214 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 215 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: Man, I'm really excited to see what happens next. You know, 216 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: she cut what I think is her best backstage promo 217 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: last week, and she was talking to Byron and she 218 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: was talking about the Queen of the Ring Tournament, and 219 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: it was so clean. It was written for her to 220 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: be certain, or she wrote it first and rehearsed it 221 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: to be certain, but her execution of it was the 222 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: best that she's done so far. I remember watching it 223 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: and I think I even texted you guys, or texted 224 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: one of you guys and was like, yo, Jake Carkill 225 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: just kind of brought it backstage, and I thought that 226 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: was the best she's done so far. So she's getting 227 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: better in the ring, she's getting better with her promos, 228 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: and I think this is going to be the push 229 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: for her. 230 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: I do. I do. 231 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: So we're all in agreement. Y'all are trying to make money. Listen, 232 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: just get on whatever draft app you use, draft app, 233 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: gambling app you use, you know which one. I was 234 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: going to say, make some bets, make some money. Overall, 235 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: we will make you money. We're always going to get 236 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: more right than wrong. If you just bet, like on 237 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: a couple of them, we might let you down, but 238 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: overall we take care of you guys. Remember that one 239 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: day we'll have a sponsor that we can prove it 240 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: to you guys with. Let's move on to the Men's 241 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: King of the Ring Tournament. The dudes, all right. The 242 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: winner of this tournament also goes to SummerSlam and will 243 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: also face the champion of their respective brand, and as 244 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: of right now, the finals consist of mister Randy Orton 245 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: Boom he broke Freddy's back Boom, or don't laugh at 246 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: hurt versus the winner of Jay Usso versus Cody Rhodes. 247 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Cody's the man. Some of you may say, I don't 248 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: think Cody can win this tournament because he's had his 249 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: story and it's time for him to give someone else's story. 250 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: But this I think could be an ongoing part of 251 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: his story, So that could be an argument for them 252 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: to eventually get the belt off of Sina. But remember, 253 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Sena's time is done yet. He ain't 254 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: losing this until he walks away, and it's either gonna 255 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: be with the title, which would be cold as ice, 256 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: and they're never gonna do that because they'd. 257 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 3: Say, oh, it weakens the title. 258 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: Or he'll be his final match and he'll lose it 259 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: to Cody then. So I don't think Cody can win 260 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: the entire tournament. I think they're gonna lead themselves to 261 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: a Randy Orton victor and get him closer to his 262 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: story of fifteen. I believe it would be World Championships, 263 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: so that would be him versus Gunther. Gunther beat him 264 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: last time, if you remember in Saudi Arabia, I think 265 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: it was for King of the Rings. So it's time 266 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: to get that win back. So I'm going with Randy 267 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: Orton winning the entire tournament and facing Gunther and getting 268 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: that time. I'm calling my shot way early and even 269 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: winning that match at whatever SummerSlam. So there's an early 270 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: prediction for you as well. Our producer Alex thinks Cody's 271 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: gonna beat Jay Usso. However, he agrees with me, guys, 272 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: your sensing a trend here, it's called the correct trend, 273 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: and he sees Cody going up against Randy, Randy winning 274 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: and also heading to SummerSlam to face Gunter Gunter. That's 275 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: how the announcer lady says it. I need to say 276 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: it the right way, Jeff. It's up to you. Is 277 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: it the trifecta? You either got you got Randy Orton 278 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: versus either Jay Usso or Cody Roade. Jay and Cody 279 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: have to still wrestle. The winner of that faces Randy Orton, 280 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: and then Randy versus that person in the finals for 281 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: King of the Ring. 282 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: What's saying the I love Randy Orton, big fan of 283 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: Randy Orton, not a fan of what he did to 284 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: my big brother Freddy in his back, but you know 285 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 4: these things since that's happened to you, Fred, He's had 286 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 4: what five hundred things he's done. You know, like those 287 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: people have all moved on from Randy beating his beating 288 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 4: their butts. 289 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's been they're better people than me, They're 290 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: better people than that. 291 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: Big big fan. 292 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 4: Love Randy Orton, Love what he's doing, Love that, even 293 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 4: at this stage in his career, he can make these 294 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 4: great moments. I was excited for a Ko versus Randy 295 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 4: Orton at WrestleMania. Didn't get that because of Ko, but 296 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 4: we still got a really great match where he put 297 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: a young guy over and it was fun to watch. Anyways, 298 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 4: I just like all the things Randy's doing, so i'd 299 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 4: like to say that I believe he'll win this. 300 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: He's also never won a King of the Ring, but. 301 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 4: I don't want to. My contrarian side says, don't just 302 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 4: pick what you know. 303 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 3: I'm not a Jagusaw guy. I'd never have been. 304 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: I don't think I think Cody Roads is too over 305 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 4: for him to win this, although it would be similar 306 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 4: to what they're doing with seth Rawlins, where seth Rawlins 307 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: is still the guy and then they make them mister 308 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: money in the bank. I'm going to I'm gonna go 309 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 4: with you, guys, Randy or yes, yes, you had to work, 310 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 4: had to get. 311 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: A running start on that. 312 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: There's no there's no worries. Those are some of the 313 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: most fun street races. When you're already going like sixty 314 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: and then you're right next to each other and they 315 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: go one, two, three, go four. You see those guys 316 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: take off on Instagram. That's so awesome. I drive slow. 317 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: I drive old cars, but I think it's cool when 318 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: people drive fast. I know it's dangerous. Were seapop. That's 319 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: three in a row where we all agree. So you 320 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: guys are starting to kind of feel the vibe here. 321 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: You kind of want to ride this wave. We're gonna 322 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: have some dissension on the next match. Dominic Mysterio, the 323 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: baby face of all babyfaces, versus AJ Styles, who's coming 324 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: after him for no good reason whatsoever. Dominic's such a 325 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: nice guy, good dude, He's just trying to He's young man, 326 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: like you guys act like young people. Can't make bad choices, 327 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: can't make mistakes. So he's made a few. He's made 328 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: a few. Maybe you don't like the company he keeps, okay, 329 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: but you can still love the man. You can still 330 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: love the man the way I have. He's been on 331 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: a hot streak. Live Morgan's injured shoulder injury dislocation, has 332 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: to have surgery, So now he's alone. But that also 333 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: means he has no distractions, y'o. They always say, like 334 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: a baseball player goes in a slump when he gets 335 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: married and when he has his first kid.

It 352 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: would be great that AJ Styles if he if he 353 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: could kind of get another pop this.

He's gonna win 413 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: this match. I don't even think it's gonna be that 414 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: long of a match. It's not gonna be a squash, 415 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be like twelve minutes and that's it, 416 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: and he's going over huge. Alex agrees with me. Jeff's 417 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: nod in his head, so I'm already ratting him out, 418 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: but Jeff, I mean it is. 419 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 4: It's gonna be a squash match in story. In story, 420 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 4: it's a squash. There's no world where Solo beats Jacob Fatu. 421 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: All three of us pick Jacob Fatu to win easily 422 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: over Solo Sokoa, which means it's time for the main event, 423 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: a main event where I'll say this, man, John Cena, 424 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say this is the best promo John 425 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: Cena ever cut, but it's the best one I can 426 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: remember in a long ass time. You could tell at 427 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: one point that they were ending to early, and so 428 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: he just started spitballing because they were like you could 429 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: see him go, like, yo, we still got five minutes, 430 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: and so he just starts saying. 431 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 4: Whatever he wanted to say. They were telling him the opposite. 432 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: I thought they were telling him to wrap it up. 433 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: No, they had way too much time left over at 434 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: the end of the show. So he just started kind 435 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: of spitballing and saying wild stuff and doing his thing, 436 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: and it came off real organic super super cool, and 437 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: I know it was a play on the on the 438 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: Punk promo that Punk did to John Cena, as John 439 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: even alludes to that where he's like, and I stole 440 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: your promo, son, But he just kind of said whatever. 441 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people are like, Oh, 442 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna get in trouble. Not all everything was approved. 443 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: USA is super strict with that kind of stuff, So 444 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: if he said it, they're okay with it. 445 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 3: Trust me on that. 446 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: I used to work there and USA had issues with 447 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: stuff that WW did and WW went you turned. That's 448 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: our partner. We don't want to piss him off. So 449 00:20:52,920 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: they know where the bread was buttered right there. But 450 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: it was really really good, really clean. I'm excited to 451 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: watch this match. I think we all know who the 452 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: winner of the match is going to be. But I 453 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: don't care because they've done a really good job in 454 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: a short amount of time to get me excited for 455 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: this story. And they kind of have to do this 456 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: like John Cena running the gauntlet of all these like 457 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: top dudes, who's gonna be next, who's gonna be next, 458 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: Who's going to be next? They had what three weeks 459 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: for the cmpunk one, so I think yeah, I think 460 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: just three weeks to tell this story. And Punk goes 461 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: out there and does his promos and shout out to 462 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: Punk for selling for like seven eight minutes on the 463 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: ground like he's unconscious and can't move. That takes a 464 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: lot of humility to do, because nobody wants to lay there. 465 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh go ahead please. 466 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 4: I was just gonna say he had to lay there 467 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 4: like he was in total pain and unconscious for the 468 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 4: whole promo. His leg was bent up, you know, because 469 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 4: that's how he landed when he got slammed through the 470 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 4: table and he had to just go like what the 471 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 4: entire time that John Cena is doing the promo, I 472 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: couldn't believe he committed to it that long. I would 473 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 4: have like rolled over on my face and then kind 474 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: of like put my face in my arm armpit kind 475 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 4: of like elbow area because it was just so long 476 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 4: enough for him to be looking up acting like that 477 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 4: table shot made him unconscious for that long? 478 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 3: It was It was crazy. 479 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 4: Did you like the pipe bomb that like, or like, 480 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: if that's what we're gonna call it, did you like 481 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 4: seeing his promo? 482 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't call it a pipe bomb. 483 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he was anywhere close to that kind 484 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: of a promo. But I loved his energy and I 485 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: loved what he brought to the table. You could tell 486 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: that they ran out of time in words, so he 487 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: kind of had to freestyle and spitball at the end. 488 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: So it felt like the promo ended four or five times. 489 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: But I didn't care because he came off so natural 490 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: and real that I was like, yeah, man, go do 491 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: your thing. I don't I don't care what you say 492 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: as long as you stay in this kind of energy 493 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: and this vibe and the way he talked to the camera, 494 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: and it was a little big when he's like, I'm 495 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: breaking the fourth wall. But still that part didn't make sense. 496 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: It was a little It was a little big. He 497 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: could have made that that moment smaller and it would 498 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: have it would have hit a little harder. 499 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 3: But I really liked what he did. 500 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: I loved his energy throughout it, and I loved that 501 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: CM punk sold for however long that was, because that 502 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: was an eternity to lay on the frigging ground. So yeah, man, 503 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good segament and it made 504 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: me excited for this match we've got. And again everyone's 505 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: calling it a pipe on, but it wasn't. I don't 506 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: think it was. It was that level of volatile. 507 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 4: This was the John Cena we were hoping for. 508 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 3: I want back in the day, back then. Now I 509 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: want no. 510 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 4: Bad, bitter, heal John Cena. I want bad guy John Cena. 511 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: I don't want indifferent John Cena. I don't like I'm 512 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 4: over at John Cena. Or you don't deserve a promo, 513 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 4: you don't deserve new music. Like I think that idea 514 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 4: was fine, but it just it comes off so lazy, 515 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: and it comes off as like it doesn't come off 516 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 4: of as he doesn't care. It comes off as he's 517 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 4: not even trying to do wrestling, which is the point 518 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 4: to entertain us. So I think the idea was there, 519 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: but they didn't pull it off. And so now I 520 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 4: want to see some I want to see some some 521 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 4: bad guy. 522 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: Give me, give me some bad guy. That's what I want. 523 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I that's those are pretty good points, man. 524 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: I feel you on all that. I can't I can't 525 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: really debate it. And this is kind of more bad 526 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: guy because he said I'm jealous, which is a heel 527 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: thing to say, and kind of use that as the 528 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: motivation for the rest of the promo when he poop 529 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: pooed all over an unconscious Seampunk. All that said, both 530 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: me and producer Alex pick John Cena to retain and 531 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: move on to Summerslam's champion. He ain't losing this title 532 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: till his very last match, which is again a predictable storyline, 533 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: but I'm here for it and I'm here to see 534 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: how they can pull it off. Who do you think 535 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: is winning this match? I think I know what you're 536 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: gonna say, But who do you think is gonna win? 537 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: I think CM punk wins. You're what Really That's what 538 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 4: I'd like to happen. So that's what I'm gonna predict. 539 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: All right, So you're you're dark horse in it with 540 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: CM punk the underdog. 541 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: Well, what are they gonna do? 542 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 4: Just John's gonna have it for intell he retires and 543 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 4: then what hand it over? 544 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: Not hand it over, but he'll lose that final match 545 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: and Cody'll save the day and save the w w E. 546 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 3: I think that's what they're gonna do. 547 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: I hate this, I know, I know you do, and 548 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: I'm not a big huge fan of it either, but 549 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna wins. Okay, see you heard it here. 550 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Cm Punk the victor that John. He wants you to 551 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: bet all your money on cmpunk. Maybe put a couple 552 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: bucks on that and then cover that bet with some 553 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: of the other ones that we went through earlier today 554 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: AE w Grand Slam Mexico. First of all, the elevation 555 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: there is crazy and the pollution is crazy. So shout 556 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: out to every wrestler who was able to wrestle longer 557 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: than three minutes, because that is like going to Denver 558 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: to play basketball and you see guys in the first 559 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: quarter just just dying because they can't handle that altitude. Man, 560 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: So shout out to all those long ass matches that 561 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: we had. We watched Mercedes Money. She has won everything. 562 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: Every single podcaster in the world is giving her the 563 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: Female Wrestler of the Year. And the only thing I 564 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: can think of is because her matches are awesome, Like 565 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: she when she's healthy, and she's been healthy since she 566 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: got into aw she had her injury in Japan. Her 567 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: matches are awesome and she's an awesome wrestler. My only 568 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: thing is I haven't seen a story written for her, 569 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: not a real story written for her yet, which is disappointing. 570 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: Not on her part that's on the company to give 571 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: compelling stories. But every single one of her matches has 572 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: been awesome. You know, she's gonna win, which isn't always 573 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: the best, but her athleticism kind of lets all that 574 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: stuff slide. I just wish there was a storyline where 575 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: I believed she was actually gonna lose that belt or 576 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: one of her thirty seven belts at some point. And 577 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: I've never thought she was gonna lose anything even once. 578 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: So that's that's my only beef with it. But that's 579 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: not beef with her. That to me is my beef 580 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: with aew. I wish they would give her a more 581 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: compelling story like they've given Tony Storm amazing stories, like 582 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: she had that Mariah May storyline, which was awesome. Maria 583 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: May now in WWE with some other name. Ria May 584 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: was a cooler name than whatever they picked. Yeah, so 585 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: I want a little bit more of a story there. 586 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: But she came in. She will be Wrestler of the 587 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: Year in most people's eyes, and that's deserved just from 588 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: her matches alone. Jeff, what do you think about all 589 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: the love that she's getting right there? 590 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I maybe it just feels because aw isn't 591 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 4: operating at the level that WWE has been that I 592 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 4: feel like I don't see much of any of the 593 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: women's division over there. Like I feel like when I 594 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 4: watch the show, it's kind of an afterthought. Two is 595 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 4: what it seems like on the program. They're talking about 596 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 4: all the other things the entire show, but then then 597 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, then you see a women's match 598 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 4: and you go, oh, this is I don't know. I 599 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 4: just feel like they're not investing unless it's Tony Storm. 600 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 4: I feel like Tony Storm, you'll see a lot of 601 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 4: things that are them plugging her, plugging whatever's coming up 602 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 4: with her. But I feel like it's nothing, nothing, nothing. 603 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 4: And then Mercedes Monet match or Mercedes mone promo, and 604 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 4: I'm like, I wasn't even keeping up, so it could 605 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 4: be a Jeff thing, but it feels like it just 606 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 4: doesn't get much eyes or doesn't get much attention. 607 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: Hang Man Adam Paige open the show and shocked me 608 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of other people because apparently hang man 609 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: Adam Paige speaks damn near fluent Spanish. I mean, that 610 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: was so impressive and such a smart way to start 611 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: that show and get the crowd hyped and excited and 612 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: make the crowd feel respected and make them feel like 613 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: it was a part of the show for him to 614 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: go out there a white dude and cut a Spanish promo, 615 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: a babyface promo to a Spanish crowd, a cowboy, a 616 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: caballero and went out there. And I mean, like, at 617 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: first the crowd was hyped, and then it's not that 618 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: the energy died. They just started listening because they were like, 619 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: oh he oh, he's just not starting the show with 620 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: like being nudo's like it wasn't like he just kept 621 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: going and talking to them and telling him a real 622 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: story about him and his life and what he's been 623 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: through like it was. It was wild man. So it 624 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: was really really smart. It's the first this is weird, 625 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: but it was the first promo that I was really 626 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: into that I've seen hang in page cut because a 627 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: lot of times I see him yelling and screaming without 628 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: a unique motivation to. 629 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: Warrant it right. 630 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: It's always just like I want the title, I want 631 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: that title, And this was different. This humanized him to 632 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: me anyway on a different level and has got me 633 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: pulling for him to win the championship against Moxley. I 634 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: think he's gonna win anyway, but I want him to 635 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: win now. I was like, Yo, Adam freaking Page Man, 636 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: Like that was awesome. I like that a lot. Hangman, 637 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: Page I'll call him. It was really cool. It was 638 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 1: just really cool, and I thought it was a special 639 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: promo and a special night in wrestling. And I don't 640 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: know if it's gotten the love it deserves. It probably has, 641 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: but I hope it's been getting the flowers it deserves 642 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: because he brought it. He kicked ass, and that's hard 643 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: as hell to do. When you see people speaking in 644 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: their secondary language, like all the Japanese wrestlers in WWE, 645 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: or the Latinos that are over there and it's a 646 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: second language and they're able to cut a promo that 647 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: you can connect with, like that's a major accomplishment. Like 648 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: same as when you see actors that are able to 649 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: communicate in a second language at a high level, or 650 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: a stand up comedian where English isn't their first language 651 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: but they can still pull off a high level joke 652 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: and make an English crowd laugh, Like that's that's so 653 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: freaking hard to do. So when it's done, I wanted 654 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: to get the attention it deserves. 655 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 3: What'd you think? I loved it? 656 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 4: And also I think it's a good little message for 657 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 4: all the other wrestlers in AW and WB and maybe 658 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 4: even in the indies or whatever. It's like, you've got 659 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 4: to find little ways to constantly have moments that people 660 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 4: talk about.
