00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: Elijah. Is that where we're gonna go with today?

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 4: I think I I only get called Elijah when I'm

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 4: in trouble, so we'll just stick to Eli.

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's just stick to that one. So here

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: is the deal.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: We talked about not being able to do a show

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: the other day. Didn't put a show out on Monday,

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: which is what we normally do, but we decided to

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: do that because we wanted to kind of get the

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: full effects of the draft per se.

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, we felt that was too big of

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 4: an event to not you know, if we recorded on

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 4: our normal time we could, we would have only been

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: able to talk about Friday's draft, So that's why there

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 4: was a delay.

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: Correct.

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: So with that being said, we are going to uh

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: start talking about the draft and our.

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: Thoughts about it.

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: It was kind of weird watching the draft because they

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: legit like made this an NFL draft, Like they had

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: a Fox Draft room in a USA draft room, which,

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: by the way, the acting in those rooms were god all, they.

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: Had the little robot that they have on Sunday the

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: football games and.

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it just wasn't that great.

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: And it was funny like when they got in some

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: of the pro athletes and they were, you know, you

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: could tell they didn't give a shit about wrestling. They're like,

42
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: Fox has paying me too million bucks a year. I

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: guess I got to talk about this crewit, you know

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like some of them were really you

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: could kind of tell just playing along with it, but

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: some of them were just they did not want to

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 4: be talking about them.

48
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: No, And they got everybody involved. They've got like the

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: NFL Countdown guys. They got Matt Line at Reggie Bush

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: and all of them.

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: Brady Quinn. I was like, where the fuck has he

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: been for like five years? I forgot he even played.

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: You know, there was I mean so many people were

54
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: cutting promos. I mean, for God's sake, Troy Aikman and

55
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: Joe Buck did a promo.

56
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 4: Well it's just you know, that goes to show how

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: much Fox is invested, you know, not only financially, but

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: I mean they're really getting behind it, you know.

60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and kudos to them for making this a big ordeal.

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: And we kind of all figured out how the draft

62
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: was going to go, and of course Raw they always

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: make sure that Raw is the brand show, the a show,

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: and they gave Raw the first overall pick, and I

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: kind of knew where they were going to go with this,

66
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: and it was no shocker that they went with Becky

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: Lynch's number one, but it just there wasn't a pizzazz

68
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: kind of thing and what really threw things off for

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: me and I knew it was gonna happen, but SmackDown's like,

70
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: with our number one pick, we're going with Roman Rings.

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: I was like, why, Like, I get that he is

72
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: I guess the Messiah, that he is, the Vince Guy,

73
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: but why.

74
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: It was interesting leading up to this as far as

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: you know, you hear the backstage stuff and there's rumors

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: that they both USA and Fox were like, well, we

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: want the best, we want the top talent, and Fox

78
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: is like, well, we spend a billion dollars on this,

79
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: and Rawls USA is like we've we spend a billion

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 4: dollars on this and we have a longer program and YadA, YadA, YadA,

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: you know, And so it was it was interesting just

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: seeing it leading into it. You're hearing all this stuff

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 4: and you know, if they just did the shows the

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 4: way they used to and everyone was on every show,

85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: everyone would be happy. But Vince loves this stupid draft

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: crap and so we're stuck doing it for the fiftieth

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: time or whatever. So I don't know, it's it's it's

88
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: it's I mean, I get it, I guess, but it's just,

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know. I kind of got up

90
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: the loss of words there.

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: And you know, with it being on Fox, of course

92
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: they made such a big deal, like Jay Glazer did

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 3: some stuff and I know we've talked about who all

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: was doing in it, and some Wall Street guy did.

95
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: A promo and it was just it was weird seeing all.

96
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: The stuff and you think, Okay, Fox is the big,

97
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: you know brand, and of course Raw went back he

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: Lynches number one, SmackDown went you know, number one was

99
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: Roman Reigns, and then they they literally just went back

100
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: and forth.

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: It wasn't anything exciting.

102
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: It was just Stephanie reading off names, which kind of

103
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: show the draft from getting exciting. But the thing that

104
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: I want to bring wanted them to bring back, which

105
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: a lot of people did, was the reactions like when

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: the Mbertaker got drafted, he got pissed through the bottle

107
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: through a chair in the lab because you know, I'm

108
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: looking at the results and like, you know, the second

109
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: pick for Raw was the OC and they got aj

110
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: Styles and the Good Brothers, and then SmackDown's like, we're

111
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: taking the Fiend bray Wyatt and then you know, we'll

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: get onto this bray Wyatt topic here in a little bit.

113
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, I just kind of scrolling through

114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: and it seems like SmackDown got the I guess the

115
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: Raw roster from last year because I'm looking at it

116
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: and it's like Roman Reigns, the Fiend, Sasha Banks, broun

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: Stroman Lacy Evans, the Revival, Lujah House Party, Heavy Machinery,

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: and then and that was just for Friday nights, results,

119
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: and then you look at Monday and then like, Monday

120
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: is gonna be the big thing? And I was like,

121
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: why did they not draft Seth or Brock on Friday

122
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: night when everybody's eyes were on it? And then of

123
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: course Monday night number one, Seth went to Raw, Brock

124
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: Lesnar went to SmackDown, which was no shocker there, Charlotte

125
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 3: Flair went to Raw, and I was like, great, we

126
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 3: hit another Charlotte Becky Lynch storyline.

127
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: But I mean it was interesting. I mean, you look

128
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: at it. I mean, you know, Daniel Bryan didn't go

129
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: to the second round of the second night and he's

130
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: one of the best wrestlers on the planet. You know,

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: Seth Rawlins was picked first on the second night, but

132
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: he's the freaking Universal champion. Brock listeners the ww champion,

133
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: and they both got picked. Technically that would be the

134
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: sixth round, I guess one, two, three. No, it was

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: like they had four rounds on Friday, So four rounds

136
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 4: on Friday, and then this would have technically been the

137
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: fifth round. So I mean, you have your two world

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: champions picked in the fifth round, you know what I mean? Like,

139
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: so I get like what they were doing. They they

140
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: kind of had some surprises on Friday night, and then

141
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: they had obviously some you know, big names on the

142
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: Monday Night. But you know, if they're doing all this

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: crap to make it look like the real NFL draft

144
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: or the NBA draft whatever it is, I mean, in

145
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: no situation do you have the best player going in

146
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: the fifth round, you know what I mean, Like you

147
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: would never draft a quarterback, like, oh, he won the Heisman,

148
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: let's pick him ninety fifth, you know, just we'll just

149
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: go through all these other guys. You know. So I

150
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: get it. You know, this is more like ratings, like

151
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: they're more like you know, obviously like to me, I think, like,

152
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: you know, bray White picked in the very first round

153
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 4: on Friday night, that that had more of a shock

154
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: to it than if seth Rawlins would have been picked

155
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: first or first round, you know what I mean. So

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: I kind of get it, but it still was just

157
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: kind of a letdown, you know. Yeah. So anyways, I

158
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: didn't pay much attention to Monday night. I kind of

159
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: had the Friday nights on in the background. I kind

160
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: of had some other stuff I was doing, but I

161
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: you know, I paid more attention to the Friday night

162
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: one than than Monday Night.

163
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: So but.

164
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: You know, there were some rumors, you know, like Paul Heyman,

165
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: he's he's really big on a bunch of people. So

166
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: I think he wanted Alistair Black and.

167
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: That nobody knew who he wasn't.

168
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think he wanted Alistair Black and

169
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: then Birdie Buddy Murphy. I think those were the two

170
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: that he was like, I'm bringing those to Raw. And

171
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 4: then of course with Alistair being married to Zelina Vega,

172
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: she had to come with Andreday and then of course

173
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: on Driday's Dave Charlotte, so she's on roll, so everybody,

174
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: you know, all the couple stay together, went.

175
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: To smack Down with Corey Graves is on SmackDown with Becky.

176
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 4: Which I have to say, I do like that. I

177
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 4: was really kind of done with the Carmela Ar true thing.

178
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it was cool for like two weeks, but

179
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: now almost a year later, it's like, dude, she's a

180
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: former World channeling. She needs to be wrestling. She needs

181
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: to be done with this stupid twenty four seven. The

182
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: twenty four seven Belton needs to go away anyway. But he,

183
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: you know, especially her, she needs to get back into

184
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: the you know women's race. Bobby Rude and excuse me,

185
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: Robert Rude and Dolph Ziggler went to smack down. Paul

186
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: Hyman's big on both of them, so that was an

187
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: interesting move. I don't know. Bailey, he finally is a

188
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: heel cut her hair, got a new theme song. It's awesome.

189
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: The I don't know, it was just kind of strange,

190
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: like for example, you know, we'll go Titus O'Neill. He

191
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: was the second to last person picked for Raw and

192
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 4: then you had I didn't catch this, but it said.

193
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 4: Following Friday Night SmackDown, WW confirmed a few free agents

194
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: were picked up by both brands. These free agent signings

195
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: consist of EC three, Eric Young, and sin Kara Sinkarah.

196
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: That's for Rall and then for SmackDown to men a

197
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: B team, Apollo Cruz, Drew Gaelic and he's Slater, so.

198
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: Mid car people that really are just there.

199
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Right, and it's just you know, we've talked about it,

200
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: but I mean, you know, EC three, he was a

201
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: top guy, an impact and he's come over here and

202
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: he was actually pretty good in NXT. I saw him

203
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: at a makeover New Orleans with the North America title match,

204
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: the ladder match that Adam Cole won, and he.

205
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: Had that run with didnt to do some stuff with

206
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: velveteen Dream.

207
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think they fought and I think, uh, well,

208
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: you know, I think Moxley talked about it on Jericho's

209
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: webs interview, but you know, he he had his He

210
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: started the program with Dean Ambrose right when Dean Ambrose

211
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 4: turned heel, and people were like not ready to make

212
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 4: him be a heel, so like they were booing e

213
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 4: C three even though it had nothing to do with him,

214
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: and and Dean Ambrose even said something like we're friends.

215
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: You know, he's a great competitor. I like wrestling him,

216
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: and you know he's like it's been he's been kind

217
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: of bummed to see what he's you know, what they've

218
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: done with him, and you know, it's just unfortunately, there's

219
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: way more you know, evidence of them doing this to

220
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 4: talent than the opposite, which is pushed them to the moon,

221
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 4: you know, so so that sucks. You know, there's a

222
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: lot I think there's a lot of competitors on their

223
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: roster that definitely could could be in a bigger spot

224
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 4: than they are. But you know, you've only got so

225
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: much time to to get matches on the on the air,

226
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: I guess yeah.

227
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: And you know, there was the meme of EC three

228
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: at what was it? It was like a Fourth of

229
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 3: July party or something, and he just was holding the

230
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: cop and then he came out Friday night was it

231
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: or was it maybe well day night and he had

232
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: like a random squash match, because I remember texting you

233
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 3: about it and it's like, what the hell just happened

234
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: kind of thing. But you know, it is cool seeing

235
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: you know, kind of going back to what we talked

236
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: about a little bit earlier, seeing wwe like saying, okay,

237
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: we know that these wrestlers are a couple.

238
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: That's kind of keep them on the same brand.

239
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: But the draft, let's it's I really wanted the reaction

240
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: video cameras back there, not the let's see what's in

241
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: the draft room kind of thing. But yeah, okay, So

242
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: what I really want to talk about, though, was in

243
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: the draft what's SmackDown? Because there was all the rumors

244
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: flying around that Fox wanted like the big name people,

245
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: and of course they got Brock, they got the.

246
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: New Day who else did they get it?

247
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: It was like a big name person for them, did

248
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: you say SmackDown? Yeah, SmackDown, Oh Bailey and Sasha Bangs

249
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: and them.

250
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 4: New Day Daniel Bryan Roman, Reigns, Shinske.

251
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: Shorty Gable, which anyways.

252
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: But miss King Corbin, what the thing that.

253
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't get okay, is so SmackDown drafts the Fiend

254
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: that was like their second pick.

255
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: So they drafted Roman in the Fiend.

256
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: But why would SmackDown draft bray White if he's continuing

257
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: this story line with Seth rawlins who shocker is on

258
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: raw And then they did the thing where at the

259
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: beginning of the night of the draft it was Seth

260
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: versus Roman for the number one pick, and of course

261
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 3: bray came up ripped to the ring, got Seth, dragged

262
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: him out, and then all of a sudden it was

263
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: like Rawll has the number one overall draft pick, but.

264
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: There was no once again a weird ending.

265
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: Nobody got clear notification that it was a disqualification of nothing.

266
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: But anyways, so why why does SmackDown get bray White? Which,

267
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: by the way, just letting everybody know we are pre

268
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: recording this before the FS one backstage thing. So bray

269
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: White probably could be the big blockbuster trade that gets

270
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: traded to Raw.

271
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

272
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: But anyways, just telling everybody that why, let me ask why,

273
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: why bring Bray to SmackDown if you're going to bring

274
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: him to rawl and continue this storyline.

275
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: There's a music playing somewhere.

276
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: I don't know where that's at. It's not on mine.

277
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: I think it was an ad okay. I mean, yeah,

278
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: that's that's that's a very valid question. I you know,

279
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: reminds me of the you know, the twenty four to

280
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: seven crap, you know, or the wild Card crap. You know,

281
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: just it just doesn't make any sense. So I don't know,

282
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: and I was looking and I think that's where all

283
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: that music was coming from. Hopefully it doesn't do it again.

284
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: But some of the some of the people that are

285
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: still active, that are that did not get drafted, Czarro, Nouay, Jose,

286
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: Zach Ryder, Cart Hawkins, Hardy Boys, Luke Harper, Seamus Drake, Maverick,

287
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: for Girls, uh Naomi Ruby, Riot, Sarah Logan, Nijack, Stanarbrook

288
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 4: and Bermoon Tag Teams, the usso's Fire and Desire, the

289
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: Iconics authors of Pain Ascension, the B Team, and the Colognes,

290
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: which I think the B Team is technically I think

291
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: they were one of the wild car or one of

292
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 4: the free agents for one of them smacking down. Yeah,

293
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: so I mean that's a lot of whatever. You know,

294
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: dang stupid ad.

295
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: This is.

296
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: So that that you know, there's obviously Czarrow is one

297
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: of the best wrestlers on the planet. You Jericho made

298
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: a comment on his post. Uh he said, oh, I

299
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: guess I'm a free agent, and he said, well, I

300
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: know where you can come. You know, it's just it

301
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 4: really sucks where you have. I mean, you don't have

302
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: to be a hardcore fan. I mean you can be

303
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: just a casual fan and you can see how awesome

304
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: Cizarrow is and you know that, you know from where

305
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: he came from before, and you know, people from other

306
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: organizations are just scratching their head like how are they

307
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: not pushing this guy to the moon? You know, and

308
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: they have several people like that. But as the whole

309
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 4: well his stage names, but Mike Bennett, he he requested

310
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 4: his release. Uh, same kind of thing. You know, he's

311
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 4: got a lot of respect in the industry. He goes

312
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 4: somewhere else and be a top guy, and WW is

313
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: probably just gonna sit on him, you know, they'd rather

314
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 4: him sit and not affect their business than let then

315
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: then you know, be released and go do something else,

316
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 4: you know, which sucks. But anyways, that was a little

317
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: detour to answer your question. I don't know. I don't

318
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: know what they're doing with bray Whatt. You know, Seth

319
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: reactivated his Twitter and he was commenting yesterday or sometime

320
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: this week about you know, they were talking about how

321
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: stupid it was. There's a DQ in the hell and

322
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: sell blah blah loah, and he's like, oh, no, correction,

323
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: it was actually a ref stoppage, and you know, it

324
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: was just if you're having to explain the finish of

325
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 4: a match two weeks after it happened, it's not a

326
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: good finish, you know what I mean. I mean, so,

327
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: I just don't know.

328
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: Why.

329
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: And of course there was more rumors going around on

330
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: the internet about them pairing somebody up with Bray Wyatt,

331
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: and then it kind of makes sense because the rumors

332
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: on the internet was that Live Morgan will probably play

333
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: I guess that sister Abigail role maybe or have something

334
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 3: to do with Bray Wyatt, and.

335
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: So we all kind of thought maybe this could be it.

336
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: Bray's going over there.

337
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: Live Morgan was like the very very last draft pick

338
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: for raw and I actually redtweeted this on our Twitter earlier,

339
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: by the way, follow us on Twitter Battleground ihr so

340
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: Live Morgan posted twenty one hours ago at nine to

341
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: fifty three pm. She said, Holy water cannot help you. Now,

342
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 3: A thousand armies couldn't keep me out. I don't want

343
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: your money, I don't want your crown. See, I've come

344
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 3: to burn your kingdom down. Now that could just be

345
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: a song or whatever, but that just kind of makes

346
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: you think, is this like a shot at her coming

347
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: after you know, Seth rollins that she's going to be

348
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: doing something with hin with bray White. I mean, because

349
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: she's really I'm just kind of scrolling through her Twitter,

350
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: and you know, the last thing she.

351
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: Tweeted, let's see it was October. It's kind of been

352
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: some weird stuff.

353
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: But then all of a sudden, like she changed her

354
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: background on her thing to being black and some other

355
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: like just the image and like a tweet, pain is beautiful.

356
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: Don't get too close. It's dark inside. It's where my

357
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: demon's hut. I kept crying for your help, but no

358
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 3: one wanted to hear me, no tears left, and then

359
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: she posted like a photo It's like and then I

360
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 3: realized to be more alive, I had to be less afraid.

361
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: So I did it. I lost my fear and came

362
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 2: my whole life. Now.

363
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 3: To people that aren't wrestling fans, they can think, oh,

364
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: there's something going on with with lib like is she asking,

365
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, for help?

366
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: Is she saying something that nobody knows?

367
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: But it's like, you see the rumors and you know,

368
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 3: this just all points of the signs that we are

369
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: finally getting a sister Abigail.

370
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: Possibly, Yeah, And I'm kind of torn about it, Like

371
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 4: I kind of like that that's just his move and

372
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: it doesn't have to have a deeper meaning. But they've

373
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 4: kind of like played with the idea of her actually

374
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 4: being alive or real or whatever, and you know, anything

375
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: to give somebody a chance. I mean, she was she

376
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: was solid in NXT. I enjoyed the Riot squad. You know,

377
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: we were talking about it yesterday or today about you know,

378
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 4: one of her final matches that I remember seeing her

379
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: was against Charlotte and it was solid. I mean, people

380
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: on social media were like, why isn't she wrestling more?

381
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: You know, and I mean, they just have so many

382
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 4: people that are just not being you used correctly. So

383
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: if that's what it takes to get her in a

384
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: you know, a primo storyline, the only thing I'm worried

385
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: about is just, you know, I guess with the whole

386
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: you know, I guess. So Seth burnt down the Firehouse

387
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 4: or Firefly fun House.

388
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: So last night he was doing something and he's like,

389
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: I'm going fiend hunting and I was like, oh, it

390
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: just sounds like a Looney Tunes bit.

391
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 4: Somebody said something about that on Twitter about Seth better

392
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: not win this match on Friday because I don't want

393
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 4: him coming out being like I'm the dog Hunter or whatever,

394
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 4: you know, and I was like, that's something they would do.

395
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: He's the fiend Slayer now, yeah, or it doesn't matter.

396
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: I don't care.

397
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: I'm just kind of tired of this horrible direction that

398
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: it's going. But yeah, So Monday night, Seth Rawlins was

399
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: I guess pissed about something Braid, the thing that Braid

400
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 3: did or whatever, and he's like, I'm going fiend hunting

401
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: and they did a Firefly Funhouse bit, and you know,

402
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: Bray was doing something and I guess maybe the rabbit

403
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: or whatever one of the puppets were. Something happened and

404
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 3: Seth like attacked the puppet and Bray Wyatt, and bray

405
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: Like was kind of going into the.

406
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: Why are you doing this?

407
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not the guy, blah blah blah.

408
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: He beat up Bray and then it was like this

409
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: weird setting fire to a cloth and it was just

410
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: this weird thing.

411
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: And of course then they said.

412
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: Oh at Crown Jewel, it's gonna be a false count

413
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: anywhere for the title.

414
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: Seth rawlins versus.

415
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: Bray Wyatt and I was like, so you announced that

416
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: there's going to be a big blockbuster trade, you have

417
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: the Crown Jewel at the end of this month. If

418
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 3: Bray doesn't go to Raw, then what's the point of

419
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: having this match if you're not going to put the

420
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: belt on him?

421
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean at this point they're not going to

422
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 4: do right by this character. I mean, they've built him up.

423
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 4: He's one of the most interesting and what they call

424
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 4: in the business over characters in the last decade. And

425
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: obviously after this match, the one A Hell in the

426
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 4: Cell was a train wreck. So if they do this

427
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 4: controversy another controversial pay per view in Saudi Arabia whether

428
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: they're paying a non wrestler fifteen million dollars to fight

429
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 4: and you know, yeah, and.

430
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: This is how professional we are.

431
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: We're trying to do research during the show and I

432
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: was trying to pull something up and of course that

433
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 3: stuff places.

434
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it happens. But yeah, you know, in this

435
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: kind of the darker character with the mask and all

436
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: that stuff, and then to have it on Halloween and

437
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: then if they don't give in the belt again, I mean,

438
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 4: I just yeah, I'm with you, like why would you

439
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 4: even have this match? Like what is the point? And

440
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 4: you know, they it's just you know, and I've heard

441
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 4: people like, well he doesn't need a belt, Well then

442
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: like why would you even put him in a feud

443
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: with the world champion, Like it doesn't make any sense,

444
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: Like there's no reason. You know, I would have much

445
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: rather had you know. He he he fought Finn, put

446
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: him out, Finn was out for six weeks and came

447
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: back to NXT. You know, I'd rather him gone after

448
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, the miss or knack a Mora or

449
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: you know, just go up the ladder. Don't go from

450
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 4: Finn Balor straight to the champ and then not give

451
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 4: him the belt, you know, like it just doesn't make sense,

452
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 4: especially after the terrible rain that you had gave him

453
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: the first time he hit the belt, you know, So

454
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, it's just really stupid. But anyways,

455
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: that was long winded. The point of it was is

456
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: I'm afraid that we're going to get him and live

457
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 4: against Seth and Becky, you know, like a cross you know,

458
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 4: that kind of crap. So not looking forward to that

459
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: by any means, but you know, anyways, whatever.

460
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and apparently of course I'm looking at just kind

461
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: of some other stuff. And you know, they're saying that

462
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: even though Wyatt has moved to SmackDown, WWE is presenting

463
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: this cross branded match on the show.

464
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: I don't think, you know, Bray takes it home.

465
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 3: But like you said, why start a storyline if you're

466
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: not gonna give him the belt?

467
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: And he, I guess.

468
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: Quote unquote finger quotes loses or doesn't lose at Hell

469
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: in a Cell. And then you do Saudi Arabia and

470
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: they basically make this a WrestleMania with the cards that they.

471
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: Have, and then you have him go there and you know.

472
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: Expect him to lose or maybe if it's a false

473
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: count anywhere, there's really no reason for you to say

474
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: it's no DQ in the less well scratch that it's

475
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: in Saudi Arabia, so there's no chance to live Morgan

476
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: showing up there. But it's I don't like the storyline.

477
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: I just wish it would end and let Bray do

478
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 3: something else, because if you're gonna keep screwing him over,

479
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 3: the fans are already turning. And I mean you just

480
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 3: look at the ratings and aew is still crushing Smack

481
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: or an XT, which is a different story for a

482
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 3: different episode that we'll talk about later. But why why

483
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 3: keep Bray in this storyline if you're not going to

484
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: put the belt on him.

485
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's just a I mean, I think it's

486
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: just further proof with how tone deaf Vince is. You know,

487
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 4: I think, you know, I think that whole crap they

488
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: did in January about you know, you're in charge again,

489
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 4: you're the boss where you know, this is your company

490
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: and YadA, YadA, YadA. You know, I think that was

491
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: just FaceTime. I think he was doing that. I think

492
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 4: he was pretty much he had to do that, you know,

493
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: never had an intent. There was never gonna that was

494
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 4: nothing was going to change. I mean, he had no

495
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 4: intention of doing anything substantial. The only thing I think

496
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 4: that happened that he there was not something that was

497
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: already on the books, was Kofe winning the belt. I

498
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 4: think everything else we've seen pretty much has unfolded the

499
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: way that he, you know, wanted wanted it to happen.

500
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 4: And so, you know, I think it's just one of

501
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: those if you if you're going to be a WW fan,

502
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 4: I think you have to accept the fact that Vince

503
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 4: doesn't give a shit what you think. He knows best.

504
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 4: He has his plan and that's going to be it,

505
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: and you either get on board with it or you don't.

506
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 4: I mean, that is just the way it is. And

507
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 4: that sucks because right now they're in I don't know

508
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 4: if you'd call it expansion mode or whatever, but they're

509
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: just signing talent and then just sitting on them, and

510
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: then then you know they're never gonna They could sign

511
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: Marty right now from Ring of Honor and never do

512
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: anything with him, you know, you know, probably one of

513
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: the biggest free agents of the last know, well since

514
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: the Elite obviously, and it doesn't matter. I mean there,

515
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: you know, there's rumors about them about to start in

516
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 4: XT Canada, in XT Japan, maybe an NXT Mexico, and

517
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 4: they're just going to sign the talents and then sit

518
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: on them, you know, and that have I was that

519
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: was similar to what happened to me when with the

520
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 4: music industry, you know, record label signs people and then

521
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 4: just sits on them. They don't do anything they'd rather

522
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 4: they'd rather them be under their control and not be

523
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: able to do anything else to hurt them. Then just

524
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: let them go, let them be free, do something else,

525
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: you know. So it's funny that that happened. You know,

526
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: they voluntarily let Cody go, and now he's the one

527
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 4: that's directly kind of going back against him, you know,

528
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: so that was a fun irony there. But yeah, I

529
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: mean it's just you know, when all this stuff started happening, obviously,

530
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 4: the first couple of weeks with the bray White, it

531
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: was just kind of like, I don't know, this is

532
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: kind of weird, you know. And you know the very

533
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: first time you with the the Firefly fun House, it

534
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: was just he was straight up like mister Rogers and

535
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, this is not going to be good.

536
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 4: And then I think the very next week is when

537
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 4: you started seeing the glimpses of you know, what eventually happened,

538
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 4: and then as it rolled out, you're kind of like,

539
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 4: holy shit, Like he's kind of this kid friendly host,

540
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: but he's also got this demon inside of him that

541
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 4: comes out from time to time, and it's just this

542
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: is incredible. And this whole summer leading up to Summer Slam,

543
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, people were behind him more than

544
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 4: they've been the whole time he's been on the roster,

545
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 4: and then the first big match he has, they squandering,

546
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like they you know, Finn

547
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 4: put him over so he could be all for six weeks.

548
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: Did that? Everything's great. They put the ball on the tee,

549
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: swing as far as you can hit the home run.

550
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: We'll take this home. Nah, I think we're gonna burn

551
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: the tea down to the ground and throw the ball

552
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: into the crowd and then just play checkers. I mean,

553
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 4: like it just makes no sense. It's what they've done.

554
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: And I think we're gonna eventually get to it, but

555
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: I mean we can go ahead and mention it, and

556
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: you know, Bischoff is no longer with the company already.

557
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: I mean he was there I think four months and

558
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: he's already been replaced.

559
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: And your favorite person has replaced him.

560
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, mister Pritchard. You know, I'm not a you know,

561
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 4: I'm not a hater. You know. I enjoyed him obviously,

562
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: his brother love and you know, I like his the

563
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: podcast he does, and you know, I think he's really smart.

564
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 4: Me and you talked about it. You know, I think

565
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 4: Bischoff maybe gets a little bit more credit than he deserves.

566
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: And I think he just happened to be uh, you know,

567
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 4: I think he just was maybe right place, right time,

568
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: and I think there was other you know, he had

569
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: a big uh he had a good core group around him,

570
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 4: and I think a lot of this stuff happened almost

571
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: in spite of him, you know, Like I don't know

572
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: how much he really you know, when when the NBO

573
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 4: started ninety six and all those other things happened and

574
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: put them on, you know, to the top. I don't

575
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: know how much of that was like his ideas, you

576
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 4: know what I mean to me, it seems like he

577
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 4: was the guy that had to approve everything, so everyone

578
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 4: was bringing him these ideas and he just said yes

579
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 4: to him, so it wasn't like he was creating unlike Vince,

580
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: who's creating all this stuff. I mean, he's the one,

581
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 4: you know, he's picking out the names for people, he's

582
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: picking out their theme songs. You know, he's going over

583
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 4: the scripts. I mean, he's very, very hands on. So

584
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure that Bischoff is that, you know,

585
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 4: that brainchild that everyone kind of gives him credit for sometimes,

586
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 4: same thing with Prichard, you know, I don't know, you know,

587
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of uh you know. Unfortunately, him,

588
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: Bischoff and Paul Haymon, they still have to go through vent.

589
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: They they're still reporting to him, you know. So at

590
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: the end of the day, it's good that he's getting

591
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: an outside person or in this case inside and he's

592
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: been the company for a long time. But i mean,

593
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, when he gets to

594
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 4: the final you know, into the line, into the line

595
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: is Vince, and Vince has to say yes or no.

596
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 4: And you know they've been saying up the last few weeks.

597
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: I mean, Vince has been rewriting the SmackDown script the

598
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 4: day of the show. I mean, he'll get there like nope,

599
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 4: this is shit. I'm going to rewrite the entire thing,

600
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 4: and he rewrites the entire show, like everything you see

601
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 4: on the two hours, that's he redid the whole thing.

602
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 4: So again, that kind of ties back into what we're saying.

603
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: This is Vince's boat. Do you either like it or

604
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 4: jump off? I mean, that's just the way it is.

605
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you said, you mentioned earlier about Vin's

606
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: not caring about people. I know this has nothing to

607
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: do with wrestling, but he's already been ripped for the

608
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: XFL because he's only playing play paying players fifty five

609
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: thousand dollars when the NFL pays like even the scrubs,

610
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 3: like four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.

611
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, that was that was That was well.

612
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: I would love to say I was shocked, but I'm not.

613
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 4: And I mean the only point that I saw that

614
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: really you know, kind of a counter argument. I mean,

615
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 4: you know, Ted, the XFL is going to be considered

616
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 4: like a minor league, and so you know, minor league

617
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: baseball players don't make a million bucks a year. You know,

618
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 4: the hockey basketball, the dlet and you know the D

619
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 4: League in the NBA and everything. I mean from that standpoint.

620
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 4: I get it, but those sports are also not as

621
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 4: physically demanding as football, and they also don't have the

622
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: track record that the XFL does, and they also don't

623
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: have the track record of concussions and all that stuff.

624
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: So you know, I get that to a degree. But still,

625
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: Vincent mcmannsworth like two billion dollars, he can pay his

626
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: players more than fifty grand. Fifty grand, I think is

627
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 4: the average wage for an American job in the United

628
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: States right now, you know, So.

629
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: It's not like they're hurting for money because I mean,

630
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: like we texted earlier and you were kind of were

631
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: talking about the fact that Tyson Fury is getting paid

632
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars for his match against Bronze Strowman at

633
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: Crown Jewel. Now, granted, I'm pretty sure that part of

634
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 3: that money is from Saudi Arabia and part of it's

635
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 3: from Vince, But you know, fifteen million dollars, it's a

636
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 3: pretty happy fine or a pretty happy check for not

637
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 3: hitting somebody for real.

638
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean that's a bigger I mean, well,

639
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: I don't know some paydays in boxing can get that high,

640
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: but I mean, yeah, I don't know, that's well, that

641
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: just goes to show you how much they're actually getting

642
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 4: paid from these Saudi Arabia shows. You know, I mean

643
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 4: if they're if they're paying a non wrestler. Now, granted

644
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 4: he's an athlete and we're not I'm not trying to

645
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 4: diminish that. It's not like it's just Joe blow off

646
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: the streets. But you know this is a non wrestler.

647
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's been taking some bumps leading up to this,

648
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: but like now, well, I was gonna say, from from

649
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: Tyson Fury standpoint, I bet you he doesn't give a shit.

650
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 4: I bet you if he's like, oh, you want to

651
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 4: dress me up like a chicken and you know, hang

652
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: me down from the rafters. Yeah, and just do a

653
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 4: squash mask with Braun Stroman in ten seconds for fifteen

654
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: million bucks. Sign me up, right? You know?

655
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: It kind of be like Big Show and at WrestleMania, Yeah,

656
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: Floyd took a bunch of bumps and got thrown around

657
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 3: the ring.

658
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: And I see that happening. But you said this on

659
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: previous episodes.

660
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: If you have Tyson Fury come out who's never wrestled

661
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 3: a day in his life, and it's a decent match

662
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 3: and he ends up, you know, getting a punch on

663
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 3: Braun and knocking him out, beating him. You literally just

664
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: sent Braun further back in development.

665
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: Well that's that's exactly what I was about to say.

666
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 4: With all that, Like what, well, first off, what is

667
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: the point? You know this is? This whole thing is stupid. Secondly,

668
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 4: what do you get out of this? So if you

669
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: have Braun Stroman beat the legitimate boxing world heavyweight champion

670
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 4: who's undefeated undefeated, what does that say? Or if you

671
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: have a non wrestling uh whatever you call it opponents

672
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 4: or whatever participant beat one of your quote unquote biggest

673
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 4: and baddest dudes on the planet, like you just nailed it.

674
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 4: You Well, Bron's already fucked anyway. I mean you we

675
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 4: have talked about this. I think we talked about it

676
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 4: a week or two ago. They have ruined they have

677
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 4: ruined that character. I mean, I don't, I don't care anything.

678
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 4: I thought when he won the world tag team titles

679
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 4: with a ten year old that it was going to

680
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: be bad. Everything since then has just been worse. I mean,

681
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 4: I can't. I am baffled that they have ruined this guy.

682
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: Like this guy is a Vince McMahon, wet dream, huge muscles,

683
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 4: he can run, not bad on the mic, not great,

684
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 4: but not bad. People pop when he's like I mean,

685
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: he is like custom made for vincement Man, and Vince

686
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 4: Man still found a way to fuck this up. I

687
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 4: don't understand it.

688
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: But unless you can repackage.

689
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 3: Him and put him with Bray Wyatt, I don't see

690
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: that happening.

691
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's I mean, they did the right thing

692
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 4: by breaking him away from the Bray the Wyatt family

693
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: and starting out doing all the squash matches and you know,

694
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 4: going down that road. And again he he lost to

695
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: brock Clean. Well, I say clean Baron Korman attacked him

696
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 4: before the match and then it was a squash match,

697
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 4: so blah blah blah. Anyways, that did it still didn't help.

698
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 4: Everyone assumed he was getting the belt at Crown Jewel

699
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 4: or whatever it was, and he didn't. So but then

700
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: he you know, we talked about the elimination chamber. He

701
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 4: eliminated the top five superstars in the WWE, and then

702
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 4: he gets thrown out, but he gets eliminated by Roman Rings. Yeah,

703
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 4: and then you know, the same kind of thing. He

704
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 4: can't beat brock Clean, but Roman has beat him clean,

705
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 4: Set's beat him clean.

706
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 2: Fins even beat him clean. U wasn't No, he didn't win.

707
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: It, no, no, but but he did have a really

708
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 4: good match with Brock, you know what I mean, he

709
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: had a better match than Braun did at that Crown

710
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 4: Jewel or whatever. So this again, they just they're painting

711
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: themselves in the corner. Same thing what we talked about

712
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 4: with hell and Sell, you know, with uh, with Bray

713
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 4: and Seth. And you know, I didn't expect at the

714
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 4: end of the way it did, but I said, if it

715
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 4: did in a similar fashion, it was going to be

716
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: a clusterfuck. And it has been. It has been nothing

717
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 4: but bad tweets and pr for two weeks now because

718
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: of the way they handled this match. And you know,

719
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: so the same kind of thing. I mean, at this point,

720
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 4: Braun Strowman has no credibility in my eyes. I mean,

721
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 4: they would have to start like take him off TV,

722
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 4: like after this whole thing, take him off TV. On

723
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 4: Halloween he shows back up with the Roarer rumble, maybe

724
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: he wins it, maybe he just sets a new record

725
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 4: for eliminations whatever, and then start doing these squash matches

726
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 4: and then maybe this time next year, he's back to

727
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 4: where he was and then boom. But you know again,

728
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 4: at that point, you've wasted a year of this guy's life,

729
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I mean like, if you'd

730
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 4: have done this the right way, right right, you know,

731
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 4: if you'd done this the right way to begin with,

732
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 4: we wouldn't even be having this conversation. So I don't know,

733
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 4: it's just really you know, like when when I was

734
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: seeing this stuff on SmackDown with him and Tyson Fury,

735
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 4: I I don't know what I was. I don't know

736
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 4: what the deal was. I never thought like, oh, they're

737
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 4: gonna have a match, like it never crossed my mind.

738
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 4: I thought it was just a you know, publicity thing

739
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 4: like oh, here're the world champions that SmackDown and then

740
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 4: you know, he just wanted to get involved a little

741
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 4: bit whatever, whatever, And this has gone a million percent

742
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 4: further than I ever thought they would do, you know

743
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 4: what I mean? Now, I did hear that Tyson Fury

744
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 4: has been at the Performance Center. He has been taking

745
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 4: some bumps, So it may not be just completely terrible,

746
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 4: but it's probably going to be terrible.

747
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: So oh, it's nothing exciting.

748
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 3: And you know, I will say that I did watch

749
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: raw and they did the I guess the contract signing,

750
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 3: and Jerry Lawler was the mediator, because let's be honest,

751
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 3: the other two guys probably would not being able to

752
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 3: do a Lawler thing.

753
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 2: But it was weird because like they.

754
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 3: Did the thing and at the end of it, they

755
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: both stood up and faced each other and Broun did

756
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 3: his get these hands thing and literally broke the table

757
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 3: with his hulk smash thing.

758
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 2: And so what does Tyson Fury do?

759
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 3: Like I'm thinking, Okay, maybe he's gonna throw a punch

760
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 3: at him, maybe he's gonna push him. No, Tyson Fury

761
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 3: picks up a pen and tries to snap the pin

762
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 3: like and then eventually he does snap the pin, but

763
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 3: he's like struggling to snap the pin. So I'm like,

764
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 3: you're literally making the heavyweight champion of the world in

765
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 3: boxing who's undefeated. And you take Braun who looks like

766
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 3: he just hit a cardboard box and smashed the table

767
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 3: in half, which granted was under a.

768
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: What do you call those things carpet sheet.

769
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 3: Skirt thing, so it was under a table skirt, and

770
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 3: then you have Tyson Fury stand up and attempt to

771
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: try to snap a pin in half, and I was like,

772
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 3: if this is the sign of what's gonna happen at

773
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia Crown Jewel, Like that place is going to

774
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: be pissed.

775
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they don't care.

776
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 4: Well, and it's you know, I don't know, it's like,

777
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 4: you know, you're saying, get these hands to the world

778
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 4: champion of boxing, the undefeated world champion, but like it.

779
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that's his catchphrase and everything, but still, like,

780
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 4: I mean, if if I was the world champion and

781
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 4: someone was like you and get two hands, it would

782
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 4: be a knockout punch and I'd be done with the conversation.

783
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 4: Like that's it unrelated. I did just hop on Twitter

784
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 4: it looks like per Triple H, Alexis Bliss and Nikki

785
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 4: Cross have been traded SmackDown shocker, right, Yeah, I'm surprised

786
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 4: they didn't come up. To be honest with you, that

787
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 4: was I mean, that was my guess. I think I

788
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 4: think you might even said that too. I thought that

789
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: a lot more of these, you know, Bobby Rude and

790
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 4: Dolph Zigler, Like, I thought that some of these late

791
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 4: temporary tag teams are gonna be broken up. You know

792
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: that you hear rumors about the Revival getting split up, YadA, YadA, YadA.

793
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 4: So so it's cool that they're keeping them together. But

794
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: I guess we're gonna start seeing more of this heading

795
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 4: into you know, Oh well this is blah blah blahs.

796
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 4: You know they're traded. Oh well we're switching to this.

797
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 4: Oh we'll trade you these three, you know, Like I

798
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 4: don't know, it seems like they're making it more complicated

799
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 4: than it needs to be.

800
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 3: So yeah, so there's everything in a nutshell that's wrong

801
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 3: with wrestling.

802
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, well i'll throw this in here real quick.

803
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've gotten to check it out yet,

804
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 4: but the the NWA Show is back, NBA Power.

805
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: It was phenomenal.

806
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 4: It was awesome. I mean the Rock tweeted at something

807
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: about it. Just generally speaking, I mean it got you know,

808
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say universal acclaim, but I mean it got.

809
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 4: It got a ton of buzz. You know, I watched

810
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 4: it last week. I haven't watched this week's so i'll

811
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 4: watch that here when we're finished recording. It was cool

812
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 4: to see Camille, you know, on on TV after.

813
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 2: The clothes she took was nasty.

814
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was cool too. I Mean it was just

815
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 4: like if if I had to, if I had just

816
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 4: walked in a room and someone said, hey, look I

817
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 4: found this NWA show from nineteen eighty nine, I would

818
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: be like, wow, this looks really good, you know, I

819
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: would not think this is twenty nineteen and they just

820
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 4: recorded it in Atlanta, Georgia. I mean, they the set recreation,

821
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 4: you know, the commentary was good, the crowd was into it.

822
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 4: We saw some people we recognized from shows here in Nashville,

823
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, I I'm really excited about it.

824
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 4: I think, you know, I hate that they're just giving

825
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 4: away for free on YouTube, but you know, until they

826
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 4: can get like a real TV deal, they think that's

827
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 4: the best way to do it, really and then eventually

828
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 4: start touring again and playing you know, do an arenas

829
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 4: like they did in the old days and like everyone

830
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: else does. So so yeah, just go to YouTube dot

831
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 4: com slash NWA and I think I don't know how

832
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 4: long they're gonna I don't know if it's every Tuesday

833
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 4: or whatever, but I know this week and last week

834
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 4: they debuted at five oh five or six o five whatever.

835
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it's, uh, there's everything that we would

836
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 3: like to address about wrestling. One more thing I would

837
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: like to add, because we're gonna hop off here real quick, though,

838
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 3: was the fact that the Viking Raiders finally got the

839
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 3: uh I guess the recognition.

840
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: They gave them the raw tag team titles.

841
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 3: And the thing that shocked me the most, and I

842
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: texted you this was like they cut a promo backstage

843
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: after winning the titles and they're like, we've won the

844
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 3: tag team titles in New Japan or iw GP is

845
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 3: what they said. We've won the titles in r O

846
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: H and this just solidifies why we are the best

847
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 3: tag team and blah blah blah.

848
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's pretty cool.

849
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 3: The fact that WW just let these guys, you know,

850
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 3: announced these other organizations. But it also shows that these

851
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: guys came from other places.

852
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't really see you know, kind of blatant

853
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 4: mention of the other guys, you know what I mean.

854
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 4: So that was when was it Dolph s Was it

855
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 4: Dolph or Samy? No, it was Sammy. Sammy's ain't Sammy

856
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 4: did the aw Yeah? Like right after that, he's like,

857
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 4: you want to talk about a w And it was

858
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 4: just like a nuclear bomb went off. Evidently he was

859
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 4: approved to say that, but still it was very shocking.

860
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: So you know, it's just it's it's kind of strange

861
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 4: that AW refuses to acknowledge that stuff. And I know

862
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 4: it's kind of more like, well, we're you know, we're

863
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 4: you know, wrestling entertainment. We're not pro wrestlers, you know whatever,

864
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 4: So I get that, which is funny because the other

865
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 4: guys are more entertaining than that. But anyways, that's another another.

866
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: Day side note. Thanks to twenty three and me, seth

867
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: Rawlins found his sister.

868
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 4: How about that? Yeah, I found that.

869
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: On on Twitter.

870
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of scrolling through looking at what's going on,

871
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 4: so you know, it's we're this is this is all

872
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: brand new. You know, we're about to hit the third

873
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 4: episode of a W and then The AW Dark is

874
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 4: showing on Tuesday nights Now and this will be gone

875
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: by the time we air. But this week's episode Joe

876
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 4: Janella and Kenny Omega, which is very interesting. I can't

877
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 4: wait to see that one. And you know, I think

878
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 4: it's just a weird time, you know, from you know,

879
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 4: AW for me and then move into USA and then

880
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 4: smack Down, moving to Fox and then as soon as

881
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 4: that's done, the draft hits, and just I think there's

882
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 4: just a lot going on right now, and so I

883
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 4: think once everything kind of balances out a little bit,

884
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 4: it'll be a little bit smoother. You know, we'll maybe

885
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: not have as much negative to say, and maybe one

886
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 4: of those where we're gonna be talking less and less

887
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 4: and less about WWE, just to find the positives. But

888
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 4: you know, we'll we'll dig in, We'll find it.

889
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll find something to talk about when it comes

890
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 3: to WWE.

891
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: This week, we're kind of still.

892
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: Trying to lock down a guest for Friday's show. I'm

893
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 3: just gonna go ahead and say that, so if we

894
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 3: do not have a guest on Friday show, we will

895
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 3: have a show for you on Friday. We just haven't

896
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: come up with the idea for Friday show without a guest.

00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I mean, it's been a it's

910
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 4: been a very interesting couple of weeks for wrestling fans.

911
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 4: You know, mostly good. Of course, the the bad's the

912
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 4: bad stuff has primarily, in my opinion, been from w W,

913
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 4: but you know that's just par for the course. But

914
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 4: uh NXT has been phenomenal. You know, Riddle versus Adam

915
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 4: Cole is awesome. You know, they're setting up a bunch

916
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 4: of feuds down there. A w's on fire. I've really

917
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,479
Speaker 4: enjoyed the last two shows, you know, like I said,

918
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 4: want to want to check out Janella versus Omega. Definitely

919
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 4: checking out NBA Power. You know, it's really cool to

920
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 4: see some of the tried and true people from Clarksville

921
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 4: be over there, like we predicted, You're welcome. So yeah,

922
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 4: you know, it's a good time to be wrestling pan.
