Speaker 1: at Bran elberrow is on twitter. SCEMBER MABE joins us
Speaker 1: up for the break with more observer live. Back in
Speaker 1: the show. Brian Elberrez here wrestling observer live yes, Mike,
Speaker 1: Supper Viv is here today, barely, Bro I didn't pop
Speaker 1: your tire. Don't look at me, I'm way out here her.
Speaker 1: Do you know what, Mike? You know what? What I
Speaker 1: gotta mention this because I'm talking about some of the
Speaker 1: news we're gonna talk about today. And and Ruby Soho
Speaker 1: needs surgery on a broken nose. And Uh last night
Speaker 1: I'm watching watching that women's foreway and Athena falls right
Speaker 1: on Britt Baker's face and I presume her nose is broken,
Speaker 1: but one way the other it was destroyed. She's just
Speaker 1: bleeding everywhere and it's like, my God, can she wrestle
Speaker 1: a match and not get killed? and Uh so I
Speaker 1: I tweeted like can we maybe stop killing Britt Baker?
Speaker 1: And I realized that all wrestlers get this, okay, but
Speaker 1: I tweeted it and immediately I'm just getting boom boom, boom, boom,
Speaker 1: boom boom responsor spoons. So I just I broke my
Speaker 1: own rule. I'm like, my God, what's going on? So
Speaker 1: I look at the responses to my tweet and my
Speaker 1: tweet was merely could we please stop killing Britt Baker?
Speaker 1: cale what a bunch of horrible human beings on my timeline,
Speaker 1: like absolutely horrible people. It was everything from, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: blaming her. Yeah, that was that was at number one.
Speaker 1: It's like everyone's blaming Britt. It's like, Dude, okay, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't remember every last single injury that she suffered, okay,
Speaker 1: but I do remember that when she broke her leg.
Speaker 1: Remember she destroyed her leg? Now's because she was laying
Speaker 1: in the corner and nil rose came flying in with
Speaker 1: a cannonball and landed with all her weight on Britt's leg. Okay,
Speaker 1: what happened last night? She's she's literally she's been lifted
Speaker 1: up a penis, got like two people on her shoulders
Speaker 1: and uh, Richard is like a hold on for your life.
Speaker 1: Her life literally is in Athena's hands and Athena drops
Speaker 1: her and lands right on her face. How is this
Speaker 1: Britt Baker's faults? And then you know, it's like, Oh, well, simple,
Speaker 1: got a lot of those. Yeah, I'm a horrible person.
Speaker 1: I am a horrible person for asking the wrestlers to
Speaker 1: stop hurting the other wrestlers. It's like, dude, I don't
Speaker 1: even know. Maybe you should have been funnier, like I
Speaker 1: didn't just say that with two noses, a risk and
Speaker 1: a knee. The first a w license board game should
Speaker 1: be Britt Baker operation. Maybe that would have, you know,
Speaker 1: gotten a better response. Actually, the timeline, it would not
Speaker 1: have gotten you better responses and any other ones. The
Speaker 1: other ones were like, well, she deserves it for, you know,
Speaker 1: rooting punch. It's like, hold on a minute, so you tweeter.
Speaker 1: So if you get in a car accident, which is
Speaker 1: not your fault, by the way, you're like pulling out
Speaker 1: and someone's side swipes you or whatever, and you and
Speaker 1: you go on your face. When you go, man, I
Speaker 1: got hit by somebody today. You know, they hit and
Speaker 1: ran my car or whatever. Are Your friends on Facebook
Speaker 1: gonna go? Well, man, you shouldn't have gotten that promotion
Speaker 1: at work. Shouldn't have been driving. It's not even that, Mike,
Speaker 1: it's you shouldn't have gotten the promotion at work. You
Speaker 1: deserve to get hit by somebody else in their car.
Speaker 1: That's what you get for that wrong. No, mushroom, man.
Speaker 1: It's not stopped taking the troll Bait. Okay, it's about
Speaker 1: what is up with you idiots on twitter? Why does
Speaker 1: everyone have to be such an idiot all the time.
Speaker 1: It's not just twitter or it's everywhere. Sakes, goodness gracious,
Speaker 1: she deserves it because she's getting a push, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, she's not. She's getting the opposite of a push,
Speaker 1: like she's not getting buried. But she put over Tony's
Speaker 1: arm cleaning the match. I believe she uh, she. She
Speaker 1: clearly didn't win the title of the pay per view.
Speaker 1: I mean she's out there doing jobs and putting people over,
Speaker 1: but damn it, she deserves she deserves to have someone
Speaker 1: fall on her face and destroy her nose. You people
Speaker 1: are horrible people and I am a simple I'll just
Speaker 1: stop caring that you maybe you said you're gonna stop
Speaker 1: being a Karen. That might be a good thing. To
Speaker 1: Stop Caring. Oh caring. I'm sorry, but anyway, a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff happened on that show last night. We'll do
Speaker 1: the full review here later, but John Moxley is your
Speaker 1: new champion, the acclaimed are in fact your new tag
Speaker 1: team champions and Chris Jericho is your new ring of
Speaker 1: honor champion. And I was listen. I knew they didn't
Speaker 1: do as many people as they did last year, but
Speaker 1: when Dave told me there was about thirteen thousand. I
Speaker 1: need to get the actual number because dude, it sounded
Speaker 1: like easily twenty people in that building for that opening
Speaker 1: match with Jericho and Moxley and when the acclaimed won
Speaker 1: the titles. I mean this crowd was unbelievable and you know,
Speaker 1: if you're just watching, watch, I watched the first match
Speaker 1: of that show last night and I thought there's two things.
Speaker 1: There's two things here. Number One, anybody who turns this
Speaker 1: show on, whether you're a regular viewer or sometimes viewer,
Speaker 1: how are you not watching the show with this crowd
Speaker 1: in these matches? And then we had the other thing
Speaker 1: where raw on Monday got killed and of course raw
Speaker 1: got killed last week as well and dynamite did a
Speaker 1: good number, and so everyone's sort of had this potential
Speaker 1: theory that well, maybe you know, during because this happened
Speaker 1: last football season two, raw took a hit and dynamite
Speaker 1: had did did well during football, and so some people
Speaker 1: have this theory that well, maybe the people don't watch raw,
Speaker 1: they watched football and so since they haven't watched three
Speaker 1: hours of wrestling already, they get their wrestling fills somewhere
Speaker 1: else with that c n x t or dynamite. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what dynamite is gonna do. We're gonna
Speaker 1: know in UH forty two minutes, but I'll bet this
Speaker 1: number is big. It's not gonna be raw, but if
Speaker 1: this did one point two million, one point to five million,
Speaker 1: I would not be the least bit surprised. But we'll see. No,
Speaker 1: not at all. At one point three million, I think
Speaker 1: it could. It could. Do you know any more than
Speaker 1: that should be celebrated. And Yeah, though, so they ended
Speaker 1: up finishing a little short of what they did last year.
Speaker 1: I guess seven thousand tickets short if there's twenty thousand
Speaker 1: people that fit in there. But as you mentioned how
Speaker 1: it was, Mike. I mean just to add to that,
Speaker 1: look at when Soriah came out and the reaction that
Speaker 1: she got and how they were able to pan that
Speaker 1: crowd and how they made it look aesthetically, you know,
Speaker 1: camera angles and things like that. You would have never
Speaker 1: have known that place was not sold out and as
Speaker 1: loud as they were. I mean they did a hell
Speaker 1: of a job last night and they did a great
Speaker 1: job balancing New York and the rest of the country.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that New York loves more than New York,
Speaker 1: whether they're bashing it or or raising up one of
Speaker 1: their own, and there's a lot of things that people
Speaker 1: hate about anything New York centric, but you had all
Speaker 1: of that New York in there and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: it on rampage. But to me the show played perfectly
Speaker 1: to everyone and it was a really good show. There
Speaker 1: are things that we're probably going to talk about that
Speaker 1: we're not good some of the finishes and some of
Speaker 1: the things like that that annoyed us, but as far
Speaker 1: as a production goes, as far as the presentation and
Speaker 1: as far as the energy goes, and you can't say
Speaker 1: anything about it. They had it. I gotta talk about
Speaker 1: the finishes because, in fact, I'm gonna wait till after
Speaker 1: the break. Yeah, probably for the best. You Britt Baker
Speaker 1: trolls are really gonna get it now. Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'M gonna get my revenge in a different way. Oh
Speaker 1: your revenge, Brian, what a sip you DORK's. You guys
Speaker 1: are such dorks. Do you realize what Dorks you are online?
Speaker 1: Your Geeks? Nah, come on, get a life, nerd, nerd. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I got some other news here. Ruby Sojo's note has
Speaker 1: to undergo surgery on her nose. So Ho said she
Speaker 1: broke her nose in two places and also has, quotes, quote,
Speaker 1: a mess of a Septum. That would usually happen if
Speaker 1: your nose is broken into places. Oh my God, don't
Speaker 1: sound not at all deviated from deviation, I guess, due
Speaker 1: to the injury that I received. It all out a
Speaker 1: broken nose in two places and a mess of a Septum.
Speaker 1: Bro If I ever have a mess of a Septum,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to the doctor. That don't sound good
Speaker 1: at all. I have to have surgery already laying no good,
Speaker 1: and then poor Kashia has listen. I'm sure it's horrible,
Speaker 1: but what's more horrible is they don't have a better
Speaker 1: name than hand, foot and mouth disease. They made it worse.
Speaker 1: He used to just be foot in mouth disease. Now
Speaker 1: it's hand foot and mouth disease. We can't come up
Speaker 1: with a better name than hand, foot and mouth disease.
Speaker 1: What is a disease now? Chris, poor guy, and I
Speaker 1: just I guess this has been the thing that's been
Speaker 1: lingering with him for so long because he had that
Speaker 1: non covid nineteen fever and they that continued on and
Speaker 1: then he had a skin condition and now he's been
Speaker 1: diagnosed with this. So I assume that's what it's been
Speaker 1: the whole time. But if it's not, to hang out
Speaker 1: better places, and now he doesn't have a Ligma. Back
Speaker 1: in a moment, observer alive. So I gotta talk about
Speaker 1: this and I can't wait. Yes, so I ranted a
Speaker 1: long time about raw Monday because it was distraction, distraction, distraction, Distraction, distraction.
Speaker 1: Five matches. Four had a distraction fish, and so you
Speaker 1: knew the butt folks were loading them guns and uh,
Speaker 1: of course I watched the show in a delay and
Speaker 1: sure enough, like ourn of the show and I started
Speaker 1: getting boom boom, one after the other. You better rant
Speaker 1: about these bad finishes for a w you ranted about raw,
Speaker 1: you better rant about the it's like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: if it's bad, I'll rant about it. So I watched
Speaker 1: the show and I mean there's no help in these people.
Speaker 1: You guys, you yeah butters, cannot tell the difference between
Speaker 1: what happened on raw and what happened on dynamite. Listen,
Speaker 1: on RAW, in five matches, we had four matches with
Speaker 1: the distraction finish and everyone was exactly the same. A
Speaker 1: guy is about to win, somebody distracts him and he's
Speaker 1: pinned over and over and over and over again. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: let's look at what happened on dynamite in the Chris
Speaker 1: Jericho match. Did somebody come out and distract Claudio and
Speaker 1: then he immediately lost? No, Jericho tried to use the
Speaker 1: bat because he's a heel. The Ref caught him, got
Speaker 1: the bat out of the ring and then Jericho, in
Speaker 1: a ring of honor match with the Code of honor,
Speaker 1: gave Claudio a low blow and then hit the back
Speaker 1: elbow and pinned him. He cheated to win the ring
Speaker 1: of Honor Championship. There's a story here. If you don't
Speaker 1: like it, fine, but there's a story here. Okay, in
Speaker 1: the acclaimed match, what happened? Well, the acclaimed rolled out
Speaker 1: of the ring and I think it was swerve got
Speaker 1: in the face of Billy Gunn and he dared Billy
Speaker 1: Gunn to hit him and they went back and forth
Speaker 1: and then, after a Reugh distraction, Billy Gunn got his
Speaker 1: revenge by hitting the fame asser on him through the
Speaker 1: guy in the ring and then they they did their deal.
Speaker 1: The heel asked for it in that match. Then the
Speaker 1: other one was the orange cassidy match. The Orange Cassidy match,
Speaker 1: they're brawling outside and this bastard gets his hand on
Speaker 1: the Ringbell and behind the referees back, he bunks him
Speaker 1: in the head with the ringbell. He throws him in
Speaker 1: the ring and he pins him because he's a dascardly heel. Now,
Speaker 1: if you want to complain that three of those matches
Speaker 1: had something screwy leading to the finish, you can, but
Speaker 1: to compare those which all three of them were totally
Speaker 1: different to what they did on raw, where I watched
Speaker 1: a seventeen minute match and then riddles, music hits, Seth
Speaker 1: is distracted by music, speared and pinned. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: tell me that these are the same thing, I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear from you. Just go away, granted. Oh well,
Speaker 1: a riddle and UH seth or feuding. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: that they already did a distraction finish, probably multiple times
Speaker 1: to set up this feud. I don't need it in
Speaker 1: every single solitary match that they do. I don't need
Speaker 1: someone distracted by music. If you have a story that
Speaker 1: involves some rigmarole leading to the finish. Fine, how do
Speaker 1: you book pro wrestling otherwise? If you can't do anything?
Speaker 1: You just want clean finishes up and down the show.
Speaker 1: You can do it, you absolutely can do it. But
Speaker 1: you can also tell stories in pro wrestling, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it involves this guy hit this guy with a hammer,
Speaker 1: this heel got in the face of a guy outside
Speaker 1: and then he got his leading to the baby faces
Speaker 1: getting a win in their hometown, in the place that
Speaker 1: the roof blew off the place. Yes, do I like
Speaker 1: when a guy brings a bat into the ring and
Speaker 1: he swings it and the guy catches it right in
Speaker 1: front of the referee. It's not a D Q. No,
Speaker 1: I rant about it all the time. I rant about
Speaker 1: it all the time. You can bring a gun into
Speaker 1: the ring and that's okay until you pull the trigger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a pro wrestling troupe. I don't like it. But
Speaker 1: to compare any of this, and even in that case,
Speaker 1: the distraction led to a guy in a ring of
Speaker 1: honor match with a code of honor cheating to win
Speaker 1: the title, which, by the way, plays in the whole
Speaker 1: storyline with Daniel Garcia, who keeps telling Chris Jericho. You
Speaker 1: don't need to cheat, but he keeps cheating. There's a
Speaker 1: story here. Guy Coming out, oh hey everybody, oh, I'm distracted.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm pinned. Next match. Guy Comes out. Oh, hi,
Speaker 1: I got the briefcase. Oh, I'm distracted, I'm pinned. The
Speaker 1: same thing over and over again up and down the show.
Speaker 1: You can't see the difference between these two things. I
Speaker 1: can't help you. You need what you need to listen
Speaker 1: to another show. I agree with you. I do, because
Speaker 1: when he comes to Jericho, obviously the whole thing is
Speaker 1: about him not having honor, and he goes and he
Speaker 1: takes a belt and one of the guys in his
Speaker 1: own crew who he's already butted head with heads with
Speaker 1: over this whole thing. Yeah, this is probably going to
Speaker 1: lead to jared Moore with Jericho and Garcia for the
Speaker 1: R O h title. I just that one made sense
Speaker 1: to me. The same thing when he comes with the
Speaker 1: slight of hand with the acclaimed and Keith Lee and swerved.
Speaker 1: The same exact thing now with PAC pack, excuse me,
Speaker 1: and Orange Cassidy. I'm not sure I would have booked
Speaker 1: that match. I understand having orange cassidy on the show
Speaker 1: because he is a ratings mover and they had a
Speaker 1: lot of their top guys and they wanted to make it,
Speaker 1: as Tony Kahn said, pay per view worthy for both
Speaker 1: dynamite and rampage. So I understand him being on there.
Speaker 1: I would have liked to use somebody else in that
Speaker 1: spot and gotten pock pack a clean win. But if
Speaker 1: they're going somewhere with that story, okay, couldn't have maybe
Speaker 1: waited for Friday or next Wednesday and you actually had
Speaker 1: packet a clean victory over someone or Orange Cassidy get
Speaker 1: a clean victory over someone? Sure I think that probably
Speaker 1: would have been a little bit better with the other two.
Speaker 1: With that said, it's also not the end of the
Speaker 1: world as long as it's leading to something. This was
Speaker 1: not a pay per view blow off of everything. It
Speaker 1: was a TV show that they're gonna keep things moving on.
Speaker 1: So I think that I can see why people are
Speaker 1: a little bit salty about it, but I think that's
Speaker 1: way overdone and anybody comparing it to what W W
Speaker 1: does I mean you're just taking a loss right there. Anyway. Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: if you're mad that they did three of these in
Speaker 1: a row, fine, you're absolutely welcome to be maginated through
Speaker 1: and and listen if I were booking that show. I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with they did in the Jericho
Speaker 1: match because it told the story. I don't have a
Speaker 1: problem what they did in the acclaimed match because it
Speaker 1: played into the story. You did not need to hit
Speaker 1: orange cassidy with a hammer. You could have done a
Speaker 1: clean finish in that match. It's not gonna hurt Orange Cassidy.
Speaker 1: Pak is a double champion. You didn't need to do it.
Speaker 1: Now the rest of the show there was a clean
Speaker 1: finish in the women's match. You couldn't have had a
Speaker 1: cleaner finish in the main event. John moxley choked Brian
Speaker 1: Danielson out clean in the middle of the ring unconscious.
Speaker 1: You couldn't have a cleaner finish. Did they need three
Speaker 1: in a row at the beginning? No, they didn't. I
Speaker 1: would have been I would have been fine with the
Speaker 1: two and then clean finishes from that point forward. But
Speaker 1: they decided they wanted to do to three. They wanted
Speaker 1: to do whatever and they did it with Orange Cassidy
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there will likely be some sort of
Speaker 1: follow up. I don't know what it'll be, but assume
Speaker 1: there will be there. Better be where we can look
Speaker 1: at this with hindsight down the road and go, you know,
Speaker 1: it really stuck out like a sore thumb. Again. If
Speaker 1: they are going to do something with this, then it
Speaker 1: makes sense. Otherwise, yeah, I mean to me, that's just
Speaker 1: a very simple booking mistake. We got more there in
Speaker 1: your comments right now. They're they're welcome to be on me.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you here what
Speaker 1: I think. You don't have to like it. You usually don't.
Speaker 1: Ron Monday killed one point seven, one million viewers, one
Speaker 1: point six three in the second, one point four five
Speaker 1: in the third. They took a beaten, but you know,
Speaker 1: these numbers are still similar to what they were doing
Speaker 1: when Vince was there, which backs up my theory. I
Speaker 1: believe that a whole bunch of people who would quit
Speaker 1: decided to try again when triple h started up. But
Speaker 1: those people are still more interested in watching football. This
Speaker 1: is your core group of die hards. They watched it
Speaker 1: during the worst of Vince and they're watching it now
Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep watching it, which actually the good
Speaker 1: news is. I believe I it that when football season
Speaker 1: ends in its royal rumble season, they're not gonna have
Speaker 1: a little jump, they're gonna have a big jump, big jump.
Speaker 1: That's my that's my theory. Yeah, I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be huge because you're gonna have cody coming back. If
Speaker 1: anything happens with the Rock, the royal rumble should be
Speaker 1: re energized this year. We'll see, you know, we'll see
Speaker 1: how these next couple of months ago, but I'll be
Speaker 1: very surprised if they don't have a big increase. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the rustle nomics charts
Speaker 1: or any of the charts that actually have the ratings
Speaker 1: on them. Like the people that tune into that show,
Speaker 1: if you look at the eighteen to thirty four number,
Speaker 1: excuse me, there's a lot more variety, obviously in the
Speaker 1: overall but when you look at the eighteen to thirty
Speaker 1: four number, it's almost a flat line throughout the entire show.
Speaker 1: So again, there were two games on running concurrently and
Speaker 1: granted they were not the best games in the world,
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is it's NFL football along with
Speaker 1: all the other competition that's on. So the people that
Speaker 1: are tuning in, however many it's at the beginning. I
Speaker 1: mean they are sticking with him the entire time. A
Speaker 1: little drop off towards the end, and this Andrew Fellas says,
Speaker 1: W W E is good, better than ninety seven raw
Speaker 1: with triple. No, it's not easy, easy, nowhere close to
Speaker 1: ninety seven raw raw. I think was the greatest year
Speaker 1: I ever watched in W W E history, that ninete.
Speaker 1: It was unreal. I say the show is classier. They
Speaker 1: say that the rosters utilize better because you know, there's
Speaker 1: no flying nuns and gold dust and weird outfits and everything.
Speaker 1: But I mean, listen, they had bigger stars and ninety
Speaker 1: nine nine and they had the rock and Austin everything
Speaker 1: like that. But as far as like booking, nothing. There's
Speaker 1: never a year better, and I've watched them all and
Speaker 1: I've watched most of them twice. There was no year
Speaker 1: better than dynamite. Review after the break. Observer live bagging

Speaker 1: two point. Oh well. That said, here's a report. Chris
Speaker 1: Jericho Claudio Castanoli for the ring of honor title, Great
Speaker 1: Match Man. They worked there buttocks off and U Jericho's
Speaker 1: what one bro this guy's working like he's in his
Speaker 1: his late thirties, early forties. This dude's doing sup plex
Speaker 1: is off the apron to the floor, he's doing Frankensteiner's
Speaker 1: off the top. He's taken recola bombs, which I'd never take.
Speaker 1: Maybe he shouldn't do all of that, though, because by
Speaker 1: the time the end of that match was over he
Speaker 1: was a little bit slower than Claudio was. And I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to throw any shady Chris Jericho, bat man.
Speaker 1: That man was tired, but you look at the condition
Speaker 1: he's in compared to what he was you know, don't
Speaker 1: know what it was six months a year ago. He's
Speaker 1: a completely new man. So a champion of the world
Speaker 1: of ring of honor now is he's got some that
Speaker 1: back elbow. This match had impossible heat. Like I think
Speaker 1: this was the most heated thing on the show except
Speaker 1: for when he claimed actually won the belts top to bottom,
Speaker 1: start to finish. I mean, if you're gonna Watch one
Speaker 1: thing on the show, watch the whole show, but make
Speaker 1: sure he checked this one out as well. We had
Speaker 1: the acclaimed against swerving our glory, and I'll just say
Speaker 1: it first get it out of the way. I knew
Speaker 1: they were not going to be able to top the
Speaker 1: pay per view and when you really think about it,
Speaker 1: I think they should have called an audible the pay
Speaker 1: per view and they could have done the rematch here
Speaker 1: and they beat him again. It's not gonna hurt, especially
Speaker 1: because swerving our glory is almost for sure going to
Speaker 1: break up. I mean they tease it forever and then
Speaker 1: when everything happened with the hard ease and they won
Speaker 1: the belts, they backed off of it. They may mentioned
Speaker 1: of it in commentary again. I think they're breaking up.
Speaker 1: So do the acclaim. Could have got that huge win
Speaker 1: at the pay per view. Have Swervnar Glory, Damn it,
Speaker 1: we want we're gonna beat we're gonna win our belts
Speaker 1: back in your hometown. Claim beats him a second time.
Speaker 1: You get the acclaimed over even bigger. It wouldn't have
Speaker 1: hurt because you couldn't capture it. Was, what do they
Speaker 1: call it? Magic in a bottle. You couldn't capture it again.
Speaker 1: But they had a good match. It was a little
Speaker 1: clunky here and there, but overall good. Billy Gunn who
Speaker 1: was the most over guy, I think, of anybody at
Speaker 1: all out he got to hit the fame asser and
Speaker 1: he made he made old swerve fame mass through in
Speaker 1: the ring. They hit their finishing pin him. The place
Speaker 1: just erupted. It was it was great. There was a line,
Speaker 1: I can't remember the exact line, by Mike's Caliber, but
Speaker 1: they they did the scissor me daddy ass and then
Speaker 1: they went for the big move and I forget the
Speaker 1: word he used, but excalibur immediately said something like they erupted,
Speaker 1: like there's no way you that was an accident. They're
Speaker 1: teasing FTR and he claimed although the gun club showed
Speaker 1: up first, and uh, it's one of those things were like,
Speaker 1: you know, say whatever you want about F tr, but
Speaker 1: you know they're not like superstar Billy Graham and uh,
Speaker 1: and you gotta how are you gonna unpack this one here? Well,
Speaker 1: the gun club showed up and their big argument was
Speaker 1: you guys have no charisma and we're fountains of charisma.
Speaker 1: And literally there was nothing in here that gave any
Speaker 1: evidence otherwise. I claimed just I mean, ftr just looks
Speaker 1: them uh, and the way they go so that that
Speaker 1: appears to be next we had a wheel or you
Speaker 1: to segment with M jf. That led to a ouch
Speaker 1: what just because I don't know if f tr has
Speaker 1: got no charisma. It's just when you're standing there with
Speaker 1: the guns. I mean, I mean, look at their father,
Speaker 1: for Heaven's sakes. Not Everybody can have, you know, just
Speaker 1: a ridiculous, overflowing amount of charisma. For Heaven's sakes, look
Speaker 1: at Keith Lee standing next to a swerve. Swerve can
Speaker 1: suck all the year out of the room if you
Speaker 1: wanted to listen. FTR are unbelievably fantastic tag team wrestlers.
Speaker 1: But Andrew here, who I think it was being sarcastic about,
Speaker 1: but I'm holding them to it. He says they got
Speaker 1: geeked by the ass boys and if you watch the segment,
Speaker 1: there's no way to watch the segment and not go
Speaker 1: they got geeked by the ass boys. Am I wrong?
Speaker 1: I'm not wrong. You're probably not wrong. But not good
Speaker 1: for the ass boys because once you get in there,
Speaker 1: your charisma can't do anything if somebody's got your leg
Speaker 1: behind your ear and choking you out at the same
Speaker 1: time that. You remember when they were in buffalo or
Speaker 1: whatever last week and MGF was super over and I
Speaker 1: said they're in New York and I was like, Oh what,
Speaker 1: it may as well be off six, six continents away
Speaker 1: from Long Island. Well, here they are in New York
Speaker 1: still and MGF is over like a God and he's
Speaker 1: doing everything in his power to get booed and somehow
Speaker 1: he finally got booed there at the end, gets in
Speaker 1: a brawl with Wheeler Utah and they get separated and
Speaker 1: everything like that. But let's just see what happens when
Speaker 1: they're not in the state of New York. Granted, he's
Speaker 1: probably gonna still be over, but once you get out
Speaker 1: of the state of New York, let's find out if
Speaker 1: New York is in fact New York, or if some
Speaker 1: of New York doesn't count, is New York? Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on now, crying out loud, drew McIntyre in his
Speaker 1: show and in whales and they said he was a
Speaker 1: hometown guy. Doesn't make it right. Okay, and look, this
Speaker 1: is just gonna be something they have to deal with
Speaker 1: everywhere with M jf. It's going to be on him
Speaker 1: to turn the crowd against him because no matter where
Speaker 1: he goes, I don't care fits in Yonkers, I don't
Speaker 1: care if it's in Yakama, Washington, it doesn't matter. You're
Speaker 1: probably right. Probably Right, but let's find out when they
Speaker 1: go to North Carolina what kind of response this guy gets.
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be different, and if it is, I'm really
Speaker 1: gonna go off. Diamante poorte. So well, she's got Tasha.
Speaker 1: I guess it's not that bad. But so they do
Speaker 1: a segment with Diamante and I'm sure that many of
Speaker 1: our listeners here know who Trina the rapper is. Okay,
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of older folks. No, no,
Speaker 1: there are are. No, you are the same age as
Speaker 1: I do. Hey, Tom during the next break, make sure
Speaker 1: that you have side all stars take it to the House.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of boomers watching the show and when
Speaker 1: they do a segment backstage and Diamante reveals the original
Speaker 1: O g from the one whatever, three Oh five, three
Speaker 1: Oh five, and she turns and there's a woman there
Speaker 1: and she goes Trina and that was it. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an interesting segment because there's gonna
Speaker 1: be there's gonna be a portion of the audience that
Speaker 1: are marking out and then there's gonna be a seing
Speaker 1: with the eyes are like, who in God's name is tree? Nah? And,
Speaker 1: by the way, you're gonna hear more about Tren on Friday,
Speaker 1: but I can't say anymore. Pockbeat orange cassidy. It's all right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a great match, but they worked hard and
Speaker 1: Oh orange got his bell rung by the Ring Bell Hammer.
Speaker 1: He got his pulp squeezed out, pinned. I liked it,
Speaker 1: but you know, it was not as good as the
Speaker 1: first one they had together. Everyone's blown away by Tony Storm,
Speaker 1: Britt Baker, Serena, Dee Athena Tony Storm retain the title
Speaker 1: in this four way. Britt Baker's nose got smashed. She
Speaker 1: deserved it from the merity to be featured on television
Speaker 1: SUP and get a big push while not doing nothing
Speaker 1: but jobs. Mike Simper Viv that's gonna be my new gimmick.
Speaker 1: You should simp for simp a little bit more. Not
Speaker 1: Happening when he comes to my banking. happening. Maybe if you,
Speaker 1: maybe you know what you're you're you're tired. Got Pop today.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you're actual like uh, I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: say you know, then it wouldn't have got popped. That's
Speaker 1: the whole thing. John Massey and Brian Danielson was the
Speaker 1: main event and you could tell they were a little
Speaker 1: bit rushed, especially at the end when they were like
Speaker 1: off the year in an instant. But I've said it before, Moxley, Danielson, Jericho,
Speaker 1: these three men are like, we're just gonna go out
Speaker 1: and we're gonna come up with a couple of spot
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna call the rest of the ring
Speaker 1: and beat the absolute piss out of each other. And
Speaker 1: that's what they did here. And this finish where moxley
Speaker 1: catches him in a choke. You know this John Moxley.
Speaker 1: This John Moxley was there when I faced filthy Tom
Speaker 1: lawler in that mixed tag and I can't help but
Speaker 1: notice a lot of things I've been seeing lately from him.
Speaker 1: The chops, the fact that he put on he put
Speaker 1: on a rear naked choke, much like I did and
Speaker 1: exactly like Tom did. Brian Danielson, in a backward roll,
Speaker 1: or I'm filthy, backward rolled his way out. Danielson also.
Speaker 1: But since Moxley had watched my match, he knew, he
Speaker 1: knew that when that guy backward rolls out, you gotta
Speaker 1: go with him, and he did. Guy With that technolu
Speaker 1: is somebody else? Are you? I hope your other tire
Speaker 1: gets popped. But anyway, he held on like I should have,
Speaker 1: and he flattened him out, he choked him unconscious and
Speaker 1: he won. And you know what, I felt a little
Speaker 1: personal satisfaction. Anyway, as a new champion, he is now
Speaker 1: a four time champion, although it was made clear. But
Speaker 1: it's weird because a w here's here's the thing. Everybody,
Speaker 1: when he came out, they listened to him as a
Speaker 1: three time champion, but he's only a two time champion,
Speaker 1: unless you count the interim championship as a championship. So
Speaker 1: when he won he should be a four time champion,
Speaker 1: but he's actually a three time champion, even though he
Speaker 1: was a three time. So what am I getting at? Well,
Speaker 1: when a w says that John Moxley is a three
Speaker 1: time champion, what they mean is two time a W,
Speaker 1: one time W W e. they're not counting the interim. Okay,
Speaker 1: so by winning the title, he is now a three
Speaker 1: time a w champion. Right, yes, wrong, yeah, three. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: you do too well with the interim thence three. No,
Speaker 1: hold on a second. They said he was a three
Speaker 1: time champion coming out last night. Uh Huh, coming out
Speaker 1: to the ring. What is this? Yeah, the W W.
Speaker 1: So he was a two time a W and one
Speaker 1: time W W E. Right, so now he's a three time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's now a three time a w champion. You screwed
Speaker 1: me up, you idiot. He's a three time a w
Speaker 1: champion and a one time W W E champion. Okay,
Speaker 1: I hate you, dumb you're horrible at your job, but
Speaker 1: the point is. My point is they have done graphics
Speaker 1: where they listened to him as a three time a
Speaker 1: w champion before he won. So this needs to be clear.
Speaker 1: What the people doing graphics as well the social media team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that the outro music? Dom'm trying to be wrapping
Speaker 1: this up. Are you just mocking me? You're an idiot.
Speaker 1: Back in a moment it was ever live. You guys
Speaker 1: want to talk about my math skills? Sure, I got
Speaker 1: a quick story for you. Pasley is now in the
Speaker 1: first grade and he she comes home from school the
Speaker 1: other day and she's got a homework packet. I was like,
Speaker 1: Oh God, and uh, I hope like her teacher is
Speaker 1: not listening. But this packet is like this thick. It's
Speaker 1: got like a here's here's my issue. Okay, homework and
Speaker 1: everything like that, but the math section, the math section
Speaker 1: is so complicated. Then I sat there for five minutes
Speaker 1: like what do they want here? What is a pair's train?
Speaker 1: What a yeah, it's like there's just a picture of
Speaker 1: a train and it says complete the pairs train, and
Speaker 1: there's no there's like no instructions anywhere. So finally I
Speaker 1: figured out, okay, the pairs train is if the train
Speaker 1: has a seven on it, then the pairs train is
Speaker 1: one plus six, two plus five, and she has to
Speaker 1: fill this. I'm like, Dude, and of course my wife.
Speaker 1: I'm watching a movie night and my wife text and
Speaker 1: she's just like, what is a pairs train? She has
Speaker 1: two degrees to college degrees, so I'm not, I'm not
Speaker 1: the stupid one here. She's definitely not the stupid one,
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying. So then you know
Speaker 1: the other part of her homework packet is it's like
Speaker 1: it shows to the number six, Dash, Dash, and she
Speaker 1: has to trace the number six and then she has
Speaker 1: to just write number six and like fifteen boxes to
Speaker 1: practice writing the number six. I'm like, so, let me
Speaker 1: get this straight. They're practicing drawing the numbers. Okay, they Kenny.
Speaker 1: They haven't even learned how to draw a six yet,
Speaker 1: but meanwhile they have to do the pairs try Raine.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, I can't even get through this. It's
Speaker 1: the first week of first grade. Guys, super follow me,
