Ready, Ready, 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:17.880 let's get it all. How's it calling? Everybody? Brian Alvarez 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.920 here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.239 Monday through Friday, now Pacific three Eastern Sunday three Pacific, 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.520 sixth Eastern. It is Tuesday here on this program. And 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.000 you know that means we got a lot to get into, 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:36.120 including the raw show from Monday night, the Cody Roads 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.400 Show is what it basically was. Let's tell you all 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.960 about that here today on the program, and of course 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.839 all the rest of the news as well. And we 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:47.320 got an update today on Shinjiro Otani. Otani will undergo 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.760 surgery as a result of the spinal cord injury he 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.800 suffered during a zero one show on Sunday. The promotion 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.319 centered an update on Tuesday, noting the surgery will take 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.720 place on Wednesday, April thirteen, and is being done too 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:06.119 to prevent future deterioration. Otani incurred a cervical injury after 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.880 taking a German suplex into the turnbuckle during a match 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.240 with Takashi Sagia remained motionless on the mat. After taking 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.600 the move, fans ruts to leave the venue. Ring ropes 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.120 were removed, and eventually he was transported to the hospital. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.800 He has not been able to move his limbs since 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.040 the injury. Numerous personalities from around the wrestling rolfs and 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.440 that well wishes to Itani on social media, sending a 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.000 rials of positive vibes. So Shinger Otani said, Adam Pierce 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.960 joined me and doing the same if you please. So 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.400 O Joe wrote, praying for you this morning, my brother. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.560 I know your spirit is too strong to be broken. 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.520 Best wishes to Otani for a speedy recovery, wrote Chris Daniels, 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.800 and Stardom s Kyrie also announced that she will be 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.000 donating a portion of the proceeds from recent merchandise sales 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.440 to Otani's recovery. So obviously the best wishes to him 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.000 as he undergoes this surgery. No update other than that 0:01:55.240 --> 0:02:00.240 still cannot move his arms and legs and uh see 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.680 what happens after this surgery. But very very sad story. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.200 And we'll give you updates as we get him. But 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.680 that's pretty much all we know. And it's been several 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.240 days so it would be time for some good news 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.160 if we could get it more. After the break, we 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.320 got the Raw Report. Mike simper Bev joins us. A 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.520 lot to get into today back in a moment Wrestling 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:48.720 Observer Live back of the show. Bright albur is here 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:54.200 Wrestling Observer Alive. Mike supper Bev, also of Wrestling Observer 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.799 dot Com. A lot to get into here today. The 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.080 raw report is always. We have the towny update before 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.160 the break and UH and a lot of news. Guys. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:10.680 Seen Sonic the Hedgehog, by the way, I liked it, Mike, No, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.640 you haven't seen Sonic too. I have not yet known. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.440 Oh my god, where I didn't see one? I don't 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:23.000 know if you have to, but well it was for 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.280 my My two daughters are big fans of Sonic the Hedgehog. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.200 They've they've seen the first movie a thousand times. So 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:35.080 we found the little Fairfax Theater here wherever we're at, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.320 which was built and I think the nineteen fifties hasn't 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.280 changed since. And I got tickets for everybody. We were 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.600 gonna go yesterday after the Filthy show, and UH went 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.080 in there smack dab in the middle of the theater, 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.320 great seeds and uh, Hono, it lasted thirty seconds, started screaming, 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.800 mostly because like they were playing previews for these like 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.520 war movies. I don't even know why they didn't have 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.760 kids previews. They had like adults previews before a kid's movie. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.440 So like this bomb goes off and it's really loud. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.040 She starts screaming. We take her out of the take 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.600 her to the theater, and my my wife text and says, uh, 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.280 let me know when when something happy is happening, and 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.920 I'll try and bring her back in. So the movie 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.479 starts and there's a brief scene with Dr robot Nick, 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.200 who is by far the highlight of the movie, Jim Carey, 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.880 and then they next scene is, uh, you know, Sonic 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.800 and his buddy or on a boat on a lake. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.960 What could be more serene? They're on a boat on 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.480 a lake fishing. So I text my wife, Okay, it's 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.200 a pretty calm scene. Bring her back in. So she 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.960 brings uh back in and Hono sits down and she's 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.039 looking at the screen and there's there's as she calls him, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.000 Sonic hedgehog, and he's sitting on the boat and uh, 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.720 Sonic falls asleep on the boat and so he's sleeping, 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.200 he's eeping, and also he just falls overboard into the 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.240 water and how long he goes? Ah, she started screaming 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.880 and crying and that was it. We got out the theater. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.880 She never came back. Was there at least a pretty 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:16.400 sweet arcade she could play on? And so they just 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.960 walked all over, they went to playgrounds. She got her 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:24.600 her she got her money's worth. I sure didn't. But anyway, 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.520 Paisley at the time of her life watching this movie, 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.440 I was gonna say she unfazed by all that stuff 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.560 that she tried to help. She didn't like that. She 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.520 didn't like the spoiler or the what do they call him? 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.680 The previews either And there were a couple of parts 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.040 of the movie that she didn't really like, mostly because 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.440 the movie so loud. Like if we would have watched 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.640 the movie at the house with the volume on like nine, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.280 they would have had the time of their lives. But 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.880 they cranked this volume up, and every time there's any 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.520 anything loud, it's just like it's two. It's ear piercing 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.440 for me. And I'm a forty six year old guy, 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.880 who you know, my hearing should be going. But my god. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.040 So yeah, paysally at the time of her life. So 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.279 I recommend the movie especially uh. I won't give me spoilers. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.280 So a couple more years to go on the IMAX 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.840 presentations for the kids. Dude, that's gonna happen alright. A 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.679 couple of other news notes here we have Dave Meltzer 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.000 given update out why Ray Mysterio was not on Raw 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.599 last night. He had a medical issue, so I I won't. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.480 I won't get on him. Although the funny thing is 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.800 they didn't. They didn't think he know showed like Bandido did. Well, no, 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.839 but here's the deal. Here's the deal. Yeah, you know 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.840 what happened when Bandyo no show? They go, hey, the 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.880 guy ain't here, he didn't get on his plane or whatever. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.040 Instead they spend him. They spent a week advertising is 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.440 gonna be Ray Mysterio versus Vier. And then they do 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.760 the show and there's no Raymisterio. He's just not there. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.599 And Dominic comes out and Dominic starts doing the match. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.839 It's like, where's his dad at? You know, you don't 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.880 like to see a kid without their dad. So he 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.080 comes out, he gets killed, it gets murdered, and then 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.360 you're expecting Ray to show up. There's no I don't 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.880 think that they had mentioned one thing about where Ray was, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.400 at least with Ria Ripley, who there was another advertised 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.160 match they didn't do. Ria Ripley wasn't there, but they 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.360 at least told us and I quote, she's in protocol. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.680 What does that mean? It sounds like she's gonna be 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.600 sent to outer space or something. She's in protocol. She 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.440 won't be here tonight because she's in protocol. So we're 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.320 presuming that next week she'll be out of protocol. We 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.320 also to assume that means COVID, since I don't know when, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.560 I don't know, so he's in So so it's not 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:40.040 the concussion protocol or the COVID protocol, which are the 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:44.400 only two protocols. They don't like to say the word COVID. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.240 They never have, nor do they like to say the 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.000 word concussion. So my guess is it's either concussion or 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.240 COVID because they're in protocol with Ray. I just don't 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.679 know why they can't say. It was a lingering effect 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.120 from Veer and Dominick. He told Dominick not to do it, 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.800 but dominic said, to hell with it. Um um, taking 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.520 this guy on and then do it that way. It's 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.600 just I was surprised again if they who knows what 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.840 this issue is, Maybe it's gonna linger for a long time, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.880 but I would have figured they would have played it 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.520 into Vier. You know, Vir's attack last week, since I 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.520 want to get him over as this killer. I mean 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.920 think Dominick went on in the ambulance that that was 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:27.000 gonna be the way you think, Well, they didn't do that. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.120 He just wasn't there at all. He was nowhere to 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:30.960 be seen. There are a lot of things that we're 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.880 all explained on this show. You know what, I hope 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.439 I hope next week. I hope Cody Rhodes comes out 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.800 next week and he says there's a lot of violence 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.359 on this show. After all Vier badly, he injured raymisterio 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.600 and then Miss has to go no in protocol because 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.800 that's the gimmick. Cody uses all the banded words and 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.360 then he has to be corrected. That's literally what the 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.600 gimmick is right now. He was on the show last 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.600 night and he said the word belt and Miss like, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.199 there's the funny thing is we all hear these things 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.520 and we talk about these things but I'm sure that 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.319 some of those you know stand up for w W 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.480 blokes to actually don't believe it, but it's all true. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.920 And when when Cody mentioned that he wanted to win 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:15.160 the belt, MSS literally said, and these were his exact words, 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.839 it's a title, a belt holds your pants up. That 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.480 was the exact thing that we had heard for years, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.440 and it was incredible to actually hear them use that 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.000 terminology on Monday Night. Rod and he also said wrestlers 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:37.440 and miss said, no, they're superstars. So you know, the 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.000 thing about the belt just used to be a heel line, 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.800 like I mean, I heard Dick Slater did that with 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.240 Rufus R. Jones. It's not belt Rufus Championship, you know, 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.600 trying to put some you know, some some spice on there. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.160 And it's been said before the fact that they take 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.679 it to such an extreme as hilarious, but the fact 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.480 that they're also talking about it, I mean, wrestling is 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.840 a part of Cody's introduct I mean, I don't know 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.840 how long they're gonna push this or how much they're 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.480 gonna go with this, but yeah, I mean it does 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.440 stand out that Cody, he is the wrestler he is 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.800 the one talking about the second generation and all that 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.000 sort of stuff. So it's not even that it actually 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.440 likes his gimmick is that he is an a E 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.400 W wrestler that has gone in w W E. Because 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.719 in a W they say belt. In a W they 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.680 say wrestler, and you do al say saying a W. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.480 I can't stay in the air the S word, which 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:34.360 he almost said and then corrected himself. So is he's 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.800 an A W guy? Well, I don't. I don't know 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.520 about that as much as they're letting well, they're letting 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.440 them be Cody Rhodes right now, or at least they're 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.960 they're presenting him as ww e's version of Cody Rhodes, 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.520 which is a lot closer uh to you know, what 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.400 he's been doing than they do with a lot of 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.079 other people, you know what I mean. So how long 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.800 they'll let that continue on, you know, I don't know, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.160 but it is a refreshing little burst wind on our 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.280 program with him there and doing this stuff. Yeah, the 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.160 S word, I can't say it on the air. There's 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.120 a radio show. Do you have to mention this? Every 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.920 week that we're on the radio, and there's commercials and 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.600 if you're watching it on Twitter, YouTube, you're just watching 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.400 it in an alternative medium. But we're a radio show. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.280 You can't say that word on the radio. Turn her 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.480 s and p has not let us go with a 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.239 stuff that's well and Byeline yells at me and suspends 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.760 me and all that sort of stuff. So obviously we 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.200 didn't get it passed through. When we're able to say 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.720 s on the radio freely, I'm sure that we will, 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.840 of course we won't. Professionals here.

Ah, oh god, what 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.160 is this? What? Yeah? I didn't want to talk about 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.600 this and actually, uh da've wanted to talk about it 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.920 last night, but I forgot to bring it up the 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:58.160 Spence UGA's fight this weekend. Yeah, what's this idiot Stroman doing. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:04.160 Oh boy, you saw my tweet? A No, it was 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.760 your tweet. Well, a couple of days ago, he was 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.800 trying to talk to a fan who said, man, what 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.439 you do is so based, you know, giving him accomplished. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.320 Oh yeah, this idiot and he's yelling at a fan 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.640 because he's so stupid. Hey, listen, I mean this with 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.600 all due respect, this is one of the dumbest guys, 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.640 like in the history of man. Okay, God bless the guy, 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.480 but like, he's so dumb. It's one thing when some 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.240 random moron on Twitter or a box starts doing the 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.840 paid by Tony Khan thing, but this, this idiot actually 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.280 thinks that Tony Khan pays Dave. And I like the 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:43.319 level of stupidity to actually believe that is unfathomable to me. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.600 Like I read, I read Twitter and everything like that, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.040 and you know, I haven't think this person can't possibly 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.400 be real, And then you realize that they're actually not real. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.640 They're just an egg an egg bot probably sent here 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.160 by Captain robot Nick. Now they think about it, But 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.480 this dummy, this guy, I gotta I gotta two and 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.040 a half. You ol, who's smarter than Stroman?

Like, seriously, 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.880 what an idiot? Remember remember that one thing where he 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.439 said something he was really stupid about it, and he 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.000 said something stupid on Twitter. It's probably like fifty times 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.080 and then like a bunch of people, you know, talk 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.040 to him privately, you realize how stupid he was, and 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.880 so he kind of sort of apologized. You know, So 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.280 she s the entire time Shane McMahon was shooting one day. Yeah, 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.920 of course he was. Of course he was.

I'm trying thing I mean, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.840 I know some stupid dogs, so there there are some 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.120 dogs that I would argue that Braun Stroman is smarter 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.600 than but I don't want to get on that rant again. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:15.560 Can you ever figure out what dog you're watching is? Yes, 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.240 you were watching a dog yesterday with a dog, fluffy dog. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:26.440 That dog was smarter than Stroman.

You're not allowed 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.560 to come on. You're too stupid to come on the show. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:49.480 Do you understand Ryan and Cumberland smarter than Braun Stroman. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.640 If you can figure out how to on block him, 0:15:52.640 --> 0:16:01.040 you would bring him back on before Braun Stroman. Yeah, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:06.480 Honolulu smarter than Stroman, hollellulu. And he's still a young 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.240 man with his whole life to go. He's got a 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.600 lot more to learn at this point, Braun, you know 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.000 those brain cells are gonna start going one by one. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.880 And oh, John and Memphis is way smarter than Stroman. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:21.400 He's a gimmick, but he's he's significantly smarter. Yeah, no, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.200 bron Stroman allowed on this show. Don't even ask Braun 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.760 whatever your real name is. I don't think bron Stroman 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.040 is your real name either. Should I throw that in there? 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.080 You know who else is not paid by Tony Khan? 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:42.960 Bron Stroman? Anyway, I was gonna do rob, but I 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.520 wasted too much time talking about this dummy. Friday's Russell 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.120 made a thirty eight fallout Editions SmackDown two point two 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.680 three zero million viewers on Fox, down five points five 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.520 percent from the previous week's episode.

I'm still 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.359 on Stroman. You and it, I mean, are you gotta 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.000 be kidding me? Is it just a stupidity? Is it 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.800 the fact that this stupid thing is being repeated again 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.720 by somebody? Is it just him in general and his hair? 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.640 You know? Well, no, I have another gifts a guy personally. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.520 But the fact of the matter is, if you're so 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:33.840 dumb that you believe that Tony Khan is actually paying 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.359 Dave and I, it's one thing to be some dumb 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.520 fan on the internet. But bro, you're in the business, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.320 you have connections. You could very easily find out if 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.280 this is true or not. Well, were you on Reddit 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:51.040 and you saw the fake invoice, like the fakest invoice 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.760 that you could ever possibly photoshop together? That Dave and 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.879 I getting paid or whatever? You believe Tony CON's tweet 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.520 the other day by by two dollar a month paycheck. 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.840 I mean, come on, this is this is insane, stupidy. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.480 I will apologize for calling Braun an idiot if he 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.600 smartens up about how stupid he is about this. You 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.640 know what I'm saying. You understand what I'm saying. If 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.840 you if you're smart en up, I will no longer 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:18.720 call you stupid. But until then, idiot. Now, how do 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.919 you believe this? How do you believe this? Do you 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.119 also need an apology out of him or just the 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.919 exciting apology? And he's an idiot? So I'm just, I'm just, 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.200 I'm just I can't wrap my head around this being 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:35.600 so dumb that you actually believe that. I gotta find 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.800 this stupid interview. Where did he say this? Somebody give 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.240 me a link to this interview.

Is he then thinking that EC three 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.040 is a bought and paid for stooge because he appeared 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.600 on this I don't know. With you, I don't know. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.040 You've got some answers for on the Maybe you want 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.560 to hear them not on this show because you're not 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.199 coming on. But maybe you're You're throwing more people than 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.920 you think under the bus with such a comment. Hey, 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.240 listening their integrity, that's fine if you if you're that dumb, 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.320 then that's on you, not on me. Rampage did six 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.639 hundred thousand, up thirty one point six percent from the 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.280 previous week, best audience for the show since January fourth 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.280 on Cable. In the eighteen forty nine demo with the 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:25.560 point to five rating ties of January episode for Rampages, 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.520 Heighest reading the in the demo, I was just reading 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.960 on the internet about how oh, Rampage doing terrible because 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.040 it's taped.

Is it 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.600 the problem? Maybe? Maybe it's a fact that it's on 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:50.639 Friday nights at ten. Yeah, that's oh my god. And 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.720 now are these a W fans that are leading this 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.679 charge on what we gotta be live? We will, you 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.960 know effort.

Thank you, Dagon. 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.000 I can't believe I'm wasting time on this. You know 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.120 what comes after it is the raw report, so it's understandable. Yeah, 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.000 well that's all. That's the most of the news anyway, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:16.440 aside from the news that Chris Dickinson his dream has 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.280 come true making New Japan is Pro Wrestling Home officially 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.560 signed an agreement with New Japan allows him to work 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.719 in these in the US and internationally. So he has 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.760 God Bless his soul in his in his Instagram thing, 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.560 He's like, there's all these people that wanted me to 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.280 sign elsewhere, and I'm sure that there were people that said, man, 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.280 I'd love to see an a W or something like that. 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.080 I think any Chris Dickinson fan, though, who's watched this 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.359 guy and seen him throughout evolve and all the stuff 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.720 that he does, like that dude is a new japan dude. 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.800 That dude is a Japanese wrestling dude. So I'm really 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.199 happy he's got his chance in the promotion that he 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:57.080 always wanted to go for. Alright, Braun, This is from 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:02.280 Ringside News recently joined the bandwagon of wrestlers and fans 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.520 who mocked Tony Khan for his tweet about a network 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:09.200 of bot's disparaging a w Stroman called out Cohn once again. 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.520 He claimed Tony Khan pays dirt cheet writers and claims 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.639 his wrestlers are free to work where they want. That 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.960 is not the case, he noted. Stroman criticized KHN for 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:23.440 blackballing a w talent for appearing in the Control your 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.560 Narrative promotion. Gee, why would you do that? This is 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.879 the same guy said maybe I'll read the bronze voice. 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.680 This is the same guy that pays the dirt sheets 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.240 and says his wrestlers are free to do whatever. But 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.600 black bald two words by the way, them from c 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.240 y N shows why because we're a f and threat. 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.680 That's more of Vince mcman. You got blue balls. Look 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.639 at this guy. He told a fan that watching Dynamite 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.720 was quote punishment, So why are you watching it then, 0:21:54.760 --> 0:22:01.680 you dummy? What else did he say here? Anything else? 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:07.120 That's about it for here? Yeah, he's one of those 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:09.280 guys that doesn't want to watch it. It's it's punishment, 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:13.000 but he watches anyway, apparently hate watching those people that 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.399 hate listening to this show and things like that. You know, 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.600 of course those people always forget me. Hates listening to 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.960 this show. It is forced to against his own will. 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:26.320 He can't help it, but listen torture to listen to 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:34.640 that observer live. I can't help myself though anyway, ohbraun 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.680 mm hmm, talking about everybody else on all these dirt 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:40.960 sheats and everything.

You know, keep that 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:45.960 one in your pocket to throw out on the next nime. 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.800 But I don't know what's a dirt eat anyway at 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.800 this point now de Sean ross Sap doesn't write anything 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:54.199 down on paper and send it out to anybody, Like, 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.080 is is that a dirt cheat? John Pollock has been 0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:59.640 around this game a long time. Post wrestling is fantastic, 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.600 Like are they a dirt sheet? You know what?
