Speaker 2: Man a lot of hot tags coming in. They gave

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: those guys time to work. But we're going to start

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: with the way the show started, the way everyone wanted

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: the show to start, and the way they gave it

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: to us the way we wanted it. Mister CM punk

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 2: the Cult of Personality out to the ring, shaved head,

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: The facial hair was longer than the hair on the head.

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: He came out very kind of old school straight edge style,

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: like not original because original he had long hair, but

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: very like Salt Lake City Punk rock, right like that

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: movie SLC came from back in the day. So he

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: comes out with boots over his shoulder or in one

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: hand and something in a red velvet bag in the other.

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: We assume as the a W championship, but it could

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: have been a snake. You never know, the hope and

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: stealing gimmicks. So he comes to the ring and the

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: crowd goes crazy. It's Chicago, it's his hometown. He's never

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: performed in this particular arena though he's done Chicago often,

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: and the crowd loves him, and he's back and he's

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 2: letting everybody know he is who he is and he's

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: not going to change, and I wanted to love this promo.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: I think Sampunk is one of the best to ever

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: speak into a microphone, and best being a very short list,

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: like four dudes. But I guess if you didn't see

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: the ESPN interview, then it's a great promo. But if

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: you did see the ESPN interview, he kept asking me

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: to call out the lie and there were at least

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: three of them, so I.

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: Don't know.

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if the ESPN interview was out of

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: character and this is in character, but it seemed like

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: he was. He floats the lines, so it's harder to tell, right,

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: But I don't want to just like talk smack or

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: anything like that. It was just weird to me because

57
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: he says in the interview they asked him about the

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: Young Bucks, and he says, no, I'm not going to

59
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: use that in any like storyline stuff I haven't been

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: asked to do. I don't think that'd be the right

61
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: thing to do. I'm paraphrasing here. I don't have the

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: story in front of me. And then one of the

63
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: first things he did was call out the Young Bucks

64
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: and call him counterfeit bugs.

65
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: He's the one true, Bill No, and then he says,

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, find the lie.

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I mean, if you were in character

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: that I just found the first one. The second one

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: was unapologetic Phil, and he said, I don't apologize to anybody.

70
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I am who I am.

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: In the interview, he says he apologized to Tony Kahan.

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: He was very apologetic. He felt bad for what happened

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: in the scrub, and I believe he also said he

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 2: would have apologized to the Bucks, but it was still

75
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: under investigation so they were advised not to talk. So

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: that was And then tell me where the lie is.

77
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, that's us too, my guy. And then

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: the third thing that was weird to me was when

79
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: he said, and by the way he structured the promo beautifully,

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: like the promo kicks ass. I'm just answering his question.

81
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: He challenged us to find the lies. So I'm finding

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: the lies again. If it was out of character, then

83
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: it was out of character. If the interview itself was

84
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: out of character. But again, he seems to be a

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: guy that walks the walk and talks the talk. Right,

86
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: he went to the UFC to actually fight dudes, like,

87
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: so he walks the walk.

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: But the final thing was the business. This business is.

89
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: For adults and it's the professional wrestling business, and I

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: agree one hundred percent. But to go out there and

91
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: essentially hijack the World Championship storyline away from Adam Cole,

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: who just came back from concussion and is in the

93
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: middle of a storyline with MJF seemed to me like

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: going into business for yourself and not going along with

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: the storyline, which is specifically what he's so against. So

96
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: it was a strange promo to me because I had

97
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: just seen the ESPN interview like two days prior on

98
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: YouTube TV or something like that. So the promo to me,

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: as as awesome as it was and as kick assid

100
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: as it was, like, it was a great promo, but

101
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: having just seen that, and he's like, Yo, where's the line,

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: I'm like, dog, that's a big ass lie right there,

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: Like you just apologized and said you did so. To me,

104
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: the promo was a little was a little off and

105
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: not at his best. But again, I guess if you

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: didn't see that, then it's then it's a top shelf

107
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: sampung promo. Those were my thoughts, What were yours, mister

108
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: die you're looking at me with a smirk on your face.

109
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Well, no, because I agree with you. There were lies.

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: And also, like I thought it was a trash promo.

111
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm just maybe I'm just drunk with the love

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: of mjf's promos, or maybe we've been spoiled with with

113
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 4: with good mic workover in aew But I didn't think

114
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: this was cute. I didn't think I think like he's

115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: talking about popularity contests, and if it was about popularity,

116
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: I'd have.

117
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: Been gone long.

118
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: Bro, you're only in wrestling still because of a popularity contest.

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: The only reason they keep bringing you back to these

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: things is because the fans love you and they just

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: won't stop loving you. You're allowed to eat muffins and

122
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: talk trash about the back room. You're allowed to fist

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: fight guys. You're allowed to go on Twitter and trash dudes.

124
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: You're allowed to literally break every rule because you're the

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: most popular. And also tell me where I said to lie,

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 4: Like that was gonna be some catchphrase, like that was

127
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: gonna be a shirt that was made or something. Maybe

128
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: it will be yeah, but it didn't like really work,

129
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: Like you said, like, there are lies in that. Also

130
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: all of those things that he says are debatable, no

131
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 4: way to know if any of that crap is true,

132
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: And so he tries to come off as like this

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 4: confident guy who doesn't care, but he really comes off

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 4: as a bitter guy who cares a lot. And I

135
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: just didn't appreciate it. Just didn't come off very likable.

136
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: Him off so chippy and weird, and like he thought

137
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 4: he was so brilliant. He dropped the mic like he

138
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: really let the place have it.

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't worthy of a mic drive. It was

140
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: a good promo, but it definitely that I was like,

141
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: all right, cool.

142
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: It's just it's like almost like he doesn't know who

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: he is.

144
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: And it's okay to care. It's okay to care. People

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: always say that it's all right. It's it's how you

146
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: respond to people caring. That can be an issue or

147
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: a blessing and a gift. It's the way you respond

148
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: to it. My godfather used to say, you were in

149
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: control of two things, Freddy, your actions and your reactions

150
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: to the actions of others, and nothing else. Nothing else,

151
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: those are the only things. We're in control of. What

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: I do and how I react to what you do,

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: and if people lack control in one of those things.

154
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: It's a tough, lonely, sometimes angry and bitter life man.

155
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: Well, and also it's so easy, and this was going

156
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: to be controversial. Let's see you do that promo in Tampa, Florida, Punk,

157
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: Let's see do that promo in Dallas, Texas. You were

158
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: only over because this is Chicago, and they're gonna like.

159
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: Literally, I don't know, you think that the young Bucks

160
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: fans would be in the other states and they would

161
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: they would go against it.

162
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: That's not it's just that this promo works so well

163
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: because he's in his hometown.

164
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: He could have he could have said like, I.

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: Love muffins and I'm sorry to everybody, and they'd be like,

166
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: we love you, Punky. Like he could just say anything

167
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: he wants in that town. He even referenced it that

168
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: he sold out every venue that has a roof in Chicago,

169
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: and he never would have believed it if you'd have

170
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: told a young punk that. So it's like, I just

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 4: think like he was playing into the crowd knowing he

172
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: could say whatever he wants, and he gave a pretty

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: average to mid level promo. I thought the whole thing

174
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: was strange. He brings his shoes out to lead us

175
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: to believe that he might be leaving it all in

176
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: the ring, you know, but then he then.

177
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: He's a second and the twist of being.

178
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: Like till someone can fill these boots. It's like I

179
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: can name twenty guys that are filling your boots, just fine, pal.

180
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: So it didn't come on.

181
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: That's a fair point too.

182
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: There's no, it wasn't. He gave me no reason to

183
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: root for him, if I'm.

184
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: Honest, maybe not as much as selling out, because I

185
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 2: will give him credit for that, Like people do want

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: to see him. So those boots are harder to fill.

187
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: But MJF can fill some damn boots, Oh for sure.

188
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

189
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: I mean that dude can fill a boot, So I don't.

190
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say there's nobody that can. So yeah, the

191
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: promo was weird to me, man, it just was weird.

192
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: Maybe if I hadn't seen the other stuff, I would

193
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: feel different, but I don't. I don't think so.

194
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to talk some.

195
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: Wrestling though, because there were some cool ass wrestling and

196
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: some really cool return.

197
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, this whole thing.

198
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 4: By the way, they didn't it feel like they knew

199
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: this needed to be good, and they played this whole thing.

200
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 3: Like a pay per view or like a like an event.

201
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was really smart.

202
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: Man, I'd loved Let me start by saying this, because

203
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: we might not have time to do every match. I

204
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 2: thought they did a great job the whole show. All

205
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: the matches are not all my favorites, but I thought

206
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: they did a great job. It was the return of Miro,

207
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: who we all know is Russev whatever his real name is.

208
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know who you are, buddy.

209
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: I actually met him at a convention one time in

210
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: Texas and he was like the sweetest, nicest giant grizzly

211
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: bear in the world. But he wrestled and beat the

212
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: living hell out of Tony Nice, who used to be

213
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: in an XT and is the super Jack guy as well,

214
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: not as Jack's buddy, but still pretty freaking Jack. And

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 2: he wanted to come out and cancel the show because

216
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: he felt everybody should work out the way the body

217
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: Donnad's like to work out back in the day, and

218
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: Miro wasn't having it, dude. He came out and busted

219
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: this dude's ass. The crowd loves Miro, and they loved

220
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: him so much Jeff. When the match was over, he

221
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't get out the ring. He was He celebrated for

222
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: about half as long as this match last.

223
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: Did you keep did you keep thinking like they're going

224
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: to handle a microphone, They're gonna Handhlem a microphone, know.

225
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: Something like, Nah, I'm not getting out, and who's gonna

226
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: get him out? He's freaking three hundred pounds not fat.

227
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: He'll kill me.

228
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: Every day is rusive day.

229
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: So that was a lot of fun.

230
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: I talked about my match of the week Buddy Matthews

231
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: versus Andrade Elidolo.

232
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: We loved it. That was on Wednesday.

233
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: But a match that we didn't talk about yet was

234
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: Wardlow Yes versus Lucasaurus big Man. This match was better

235
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: than I thought it would be, and the end of

236
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: it I thought was freaking awesome. Do you want to

237
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: start on this one? And then this is tricky for

238
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: me because you like meat miss Yes.

239
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: This is definitely a Jeff Die slash Vince McMahon type

240
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 4: style of match. Two giants colliding. And here's the thing, Lucasaurus.

241
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: I've been a huge fan of Lucha Saurus since he

242
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: since I've become aware of him because he's huge, and

243
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: he looks cool, and he's got like a gimmick that

244
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: you're like, what, you're a dinosaur.

245
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: I don't understand, but it works. For some reason.

246
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: You fear him like a dinosaurs coming to the ring,

247
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: which is pretty cool. But I have heard that he

248
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: is a rumpy and mean guy and he works stiff

249
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: and he hurts a lot of guys. I'm his reputation

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: is terrible, so that makes me can't hurt Wardlow. Well,

251
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: that's the thing, So I'm I'm always got that in

252
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: the back of my head, like I don't really want

253
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: to root for this guy, but I do like the

254
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: gimmick and I love Wardlow. Shout out to my guy.

255
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,119
Speaker 4: He's my friend, so obviously I'm rooting for my guy Wardlow.

256
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 4: He's the champ too, so like I'm worth that. But

257
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: they just couldn't help themselves. They're like, listen, if we're

258
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: gonna have an event, and if we're gonna have a

259
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: big news show and we're gonna book this, like almost

260
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: like it's a pay per view, we gotta have a

261
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: title change. And so I think that that's why they

262
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: did it. That's what I'm guessing, because Wardlow just difficult point.

263
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: Just defended the title against Jack Swagger, and it seemed

264
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 4: like nobody could touch Wardlow. He's beat Swaggers at yeah,

265
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 4: double Power bombs him like, that's Jake Hager now Jack Swagger.

266
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, Jake Haeger.

267
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, his real name is Jake hag He was a

268
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: legit NC Double A Heavyweight champions.

269
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 3: I'm stuck.

270
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: Once they have their first name, I just going and

271
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: not even their first name, just the first name I remember,

272
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: you know, I'm still calling Dean Ambrose.

273
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

274
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 4: So I was a little disappointed with the titles, which

275
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: even though I really liked the match. I thought Christian

276
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: was hilarious in there.

277
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: That was so good.

278
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so perfect.

279
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: He just jumps up on his shoulders and he's holding

280
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: the chip and he's shaking it like yeah.

281
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 4: The whole match was very, very fun, very cool. A

282
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 4: lot of big moves which I really appreciated, like feats

283
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: of strength. I like both these guys too. I'm just

284
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: pissed off that Wardlow lost and I'm hoping what they're

285
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: going to do. And I don't know enough about booking.

286
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 4: This is more of your thing and like how storytelling goes.

287
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: But I'm hoping that maybe because it's the T and

288
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: T like the television thing, that maybe like it could

289
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: be as soon as next week this belt changes hands

290
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 4: and maybe even comes back.

291
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: The titles changed hands more than any title inn aew

292
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: so good, I think. Yeah, And they got Scorpio Sky

293
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: coming back too, so he could get in the mix

294
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: with Lucasaurus if they want to do something different with Wardlow.

295
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, dude, I look, I'm not a fan of

296
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: these kind of matches, but I like both these guys

297
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: a lot.

298
00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

299
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: Like Lucasaurus is six five six six, but he looks

300
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger than that, and I've never seen

301
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,479
Speaker 2: like a gigantic luchador.

302
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist.

303
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: So that's why I've always got of like, oh right,

304
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 2: this guy's cool. I love the cage match with him

305
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: in Jungle Boy Jack Perry back in the day, So yeah,

306
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the match, But it's all about Christian for me.

307
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: Man Jay Rezo, it was funny. He's awesome on the mic.

308
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: I love when he talks shit.

309
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: I love when he's a smart Alec babyface more than

310
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: when he's an asshole heel, but he's a great asshole

311
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: heel and that move at the end was so edging

312
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: Christian like on the shoulders even though you didn't do

313
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: shit and just celebrating like.

314
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: Well he did interfere.

315
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: He got him with the camera and the linz snapped

316
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: off and rolled across the ring.

317
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: It looked great, very Austin powers, you know who hit

318
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: someone with a camera.

319
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: And the last match I think we'll have time to

320
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: talk about, mister Dye was the main event, CM Punk

321
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: and FTR. That's DA's Hardwood and Cash Wheeler. You versus

322
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: Samoa Joe who looked damn good and the Bullet Club

323
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: Gold Jay White and Juice Robinson, who I fell in

324
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: love with during this match, man like, there's something about

325
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: this guy and I haven't I hadn't seen it yet,

326
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: and I've watched a couple of his matches. I saw

327
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: the Jericho one and and but his heel work is

328
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: different than his baby face work. I guess, I guess

329
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: that's obvious. I'm not trying to say that like I'm

330
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: some analysts. Clearly it's different. But he sold when he

331
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: was getting hit. When he was hitting you, he was

332
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: talking trash loud it. He's got some pipes on him

333
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: because you can hear him through the whole arena even

334
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: when they're screaming. This guy was freaking awesome in the match,

335
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: and the whole time, I'm knowing he's the one that's

336
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: taking the pit like they're not. They got it. They

337
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: have to protect Jay White. He can't take losses right now.

338
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: That's why he beat Ricky Starks. Samojo ain't taking the

339
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: fall in a triple threat match. Hell to the no,

340
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: so just going in, I'm like, Jews, Robinson's taking the fall,

341
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: but still, dude, the whole time, I'm like, let's go

342
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: just Robinson. He was killing it.

343
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: Man.

344
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: I really like this guy. Were your initial thoughts on

345
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: the match, because I thought it was a fun match.

346
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: They gave him three and a half hours to wrestle.

347
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: I thought it was perfect.

348
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: There was so many spots in this that were great

349
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: the whole It was like a perfect ending to the night.

350
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: It was a huge match. Also, you got to see

351
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: punk and action, which has been it's been a minute.

352
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, this was This was a fun night for wrestling.

353
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: The whole time, I'm just smiling. I'm like, cause it

354
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what the ratings are, they're going to be

355
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: so many people that stream it and watch it later,

356
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: and they'll wait a good three months before they look

357
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: at any numbers. Over there at Warner Brothers T and

358
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: T TBS, a good three months they wait before they

359
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: look at numbers. So whatever number comes in isn't important.

360
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: But it was just crazy to think about six days

361
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: a week and sometimes seven with pay per views, that

362
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: we're going to have professional wrestling. And you may not

363
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: be a fan of all the brands, so for you

364
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: it's still one or two nights. But for the hardcore

365
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: and Jeff and I watch as much.

366
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: As we can. This shit is so cool.

367
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: You never know wwe might add more content when they

368
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: go to Amazon, and that's where they're gonna freaking go, right, Jeff,

369
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: I'm pressing the button.

370
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm right, it's that time.

371
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 2: Is Jeff Ta's hot Tagle of the Week?

372
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 4: Well, let me just beat the drum I've been beating

373
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 4: for the last five million years. The things I like

374
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: about wrestling that I feel like we're lacking. We have

375
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 4: seventy five different wrestling shows per week, and what I

376
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: think that we need a little bit more of is

377
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 4: the thing that made all of our favorite wrestlers so memorable.

378
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 4: What do we like about Undertaker? What do we like

379
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 4: about Kine? What do we like about Sergeant Slaughter and

380
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: gold Dust and Doink and Mankind and Papa Shango and

381
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 4: the Road Wars? What do we like about the Viking

382
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 4: Raiders or Lucasaurus. We love that it's a little ridiculous,

383
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: bring back the gimmicks. Lucasaurus proves that this is a thing.

384
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: I was just talking about him on this bonus episode,

385
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 4: that you can go out there and be like a

386
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: little insane and still have your own unique thing. I'm

387
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: tired of wrestlers just having names. I don't like it's

388
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: such a you're just a guy with a name. I

389
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: might as well go watch UFC. What's your thing, dude?

390
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: What do you do?

391
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 4: And if we're gonna try and a track kids to

392
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: watch this stuff. That's the stuff that works. Like Viking

393
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: Raiders bring shields to the to the ring. They got

394
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 4: a girl Voa who's literally they grabbing her head, going

395
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: like like she's praying to gods or something like she

396
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: knows something you don't.

397
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: It's fun.

398
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: I like that the wrestlers go, oh God, I can't

399
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 4: go out there, where's my shield? Have you seen my shield?

400
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: I think I lost my shield. They gotta fly with

401
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: that thing. They fly with a big stupid shield, because

402
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: that's a gimmick.

403
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: I like that.

404
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: I'd like to see more of it. I don't want

405
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: to totally get rid of these guys like an mjf

406
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 4: or like Daniel Bryanson, like I like that you keep

407
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: those guys with the names and stuff. But I'm saying

408
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: a little bit more gimmick, couldn't hurt. Would love to

409
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: see more of it.

410
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:03,800
