Well, welcome 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.640 to the show. Everybody with me is Jeff dyed looking 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.800 like Logan from Wolverine and fresh off the boat from Alaska. 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:06.760 How are you, sir? 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.959 I'm feeling good. Alaska was fun. Yes, people can't see us, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.560 they can only hear us. But if you could see us, 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.400 you'd noticed that I've shaved my mustache, but I've left 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.040 the beard. The rest of it's still there. That's because 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.440 that's in honor of you getting aggregated for talking about 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.120 CM Punk. All these wrestling fans, well not all the 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.640 wrestling fans, but some wrestling fans giving you a hard 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.080 time about your comments about Punk, which I didn't think 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.000 we're that controversial. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:31.360 Are they giving me a hard time? Man? 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.960 Where they are just saying like, oh, you're kicking him 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.600 while he's down, and you know, but here's the thing. 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.399 While he's down, he just got millions of dollars and 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:40.800 doesn't have to work exactly. 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.520 Also, if you get fired and we comment on it, 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.039 that's not us kicking you all. You're down, You just 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.000 you got fired. We're gonna comment on it. That's how 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.560 these things work. That's how the wrestling podcasts works. As 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.480 you comment on the things that happen in wrestling, it's insane. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.640 Well I didn't, I didn't know. I upset so many people. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.760 So to those I upset you, you'll be okay, everything's fine, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.040 and I'm glad y'all are listening. And if you're not listening, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:03.680 I hope you do. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.680 That's true. Be more like Matt Cardona wear a Freddy 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.480 T shirt and be a fan of me and Freddy. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.640 I think everybody should do that. By the way, I 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.480 think I think we should record our podcast in Freddy 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.480 Prin's T shirts like Matt Cardona. I think everyone on WT, 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.960 like everyone in the Judgment Day, should for sure be 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.440 wearing Freddy Prince Junior T shirts like Matt Cardona. I 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:34.120 think the Bloodline probably will be on SmackDown, They'll be 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.000 wearing Freddy Prince Junior T shirts just like Mat Cardona, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.800 and then on AEW I'd be surprised if the acclaim 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.800 didn't come out in Freddy Prince and disappointed if they 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.200 didn't come out in Freddy Prince Junior T shirts just 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.040 like Matt Cardona. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.440 This weekend, when I'm in Dallas, I'm gonna be wearing 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.160 a Freddy Prince Junior shirt on stage. That's a fact, Jack, Just. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.840 Like Mat Cardon fact, I'm gonna actually get a shirt 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.280 covered in Matt Cardona faces and only rec or the 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.240 podcast and then for now that tickled me to death. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.360 So dude, this is way out of order. Okay. I 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.720 don't mean like you're out of order this will I 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.760 don't mean like that just means structurally out of order. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.680 Can we talk Brian Danielson first, please? 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:15.480 Absolutely? 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.080 Okay, So we're going, man, we should save it for 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.160 we should save it for Thursday, for unsanctioned Thursday. 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:25.440 Save it, damn it. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.839 I want to all right, well save it. I love 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.240 unsanctioned Thursdays because I could spend an hour talking about 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.680 the awesomeness of Brian Danielson. All right, never mind, we're 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.720 gonna go and order everybody. A lot of people just 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:42.120 got excited and we're like, wait, damn it, set up whatever. Okay, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.920 so yeah, wait for unsanction It's just one more day. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:50.120 So Monday Night Raw, and this match broke my heart 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.040 because his damn kids were in the crowd. Oh my god, 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.400 it has ripped me apart. The Intercontinental as he calls 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:03.520 himself heavyweight champion un versus Chad Gable. This was the 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.480 main event, and this match was everything I hoped it 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.920 would be. It was everything it was supposed to be. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.080 Both guys looked phenomenal, and those sons of bitches cut 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.080 to his kids when he lost, and his little girl 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:24.080 just like I mean, explain at least they cut away 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.359 fairly quickly. But they let you see her vomit emotion 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.040 and the tears come out and she started crying, and 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.640 they're like, all right, we've tortured her enough. Cutaway. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.080 But oh my. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:40.000 God, man, imagine this footage that they're going to replay 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.720 the first time Chad Gable wins a world championship, because 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.560 you know they're going to go back to this footage 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.880 and it's going to have the music and slow motion 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.440 and the tears flowing down and Chad Gable almost winning 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.719 and then he finally is going to like get a championship. Anyway, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.520 I loved this match. This is my match of the week. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.039 I shouldn't start the show like that, but I almost 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.440 started it with unsanction Thursday. What did you think? 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.960 Well, a lot of family there, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.479 a lot of family there. Like I saw originally I 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.680 didn't watch it live, and I saw like all the 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.599 tweets of people like just screenshot in the family watching 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.760 the match, and I was like, this is that's so dramatic. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.760 I mean, surely they should know that this is predetermined 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.680 by this point and some of some of the even 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.640 though even his wife's crying, you know, like it was 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.400 kind of unusual. Bro. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.640 They were so emotionally invest. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.880 I mean it was. It was wild, very exciting. Although 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.880 this is the first time I ever remember them like 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.480 advertising that like this beats honky Tonks standing record. Do 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:42.960 you know what I'm saying? Like, have you ever heard 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.760 them do that before? Before it happens? 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.960 Well, they usually don't even refer to his streak that often. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.279 I know Santino did when he he was gonna have 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.279 his good secutive days and it's only got to like 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.839 thirteen days. Yes he lost. It was still funny, but 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.719 I remember it was a fight for them. I didn't 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.960 have anything to do with that. I really loved that 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.680 that storyline. They had to fight for that storyline because 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.159 Vince didn't even like hearing about that streak. So I don't, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.080 I don't. I don't know if that's why, But yeah, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.680 I don't. I haven't heard anything like that. But I 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.400 don't even know if that's something I would remember. But 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.160 that's so what's why it was weird to bring it up. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.679 It feels like so old. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.040 It almost felt like they were spiteful towards the Honky 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.279 Tonk man, like. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.599 Like okay, but then. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.480 Maybe the record's gone. I was like, this is a 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.119 strange way to even end the standing record, also because 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.640 it was a loss, so it's kind of I was 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:35.320 just kind of weird. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.480 Yeah, man, I remember them saying that. 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:37.920 I don't. 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.360 I wish I could remember what the what the honky 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.920 tonk man beef was. I'm sure it was just because 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:43.640 he sued him first? 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.960 Oh did? Or I mean if that or sorry, that's your. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.599 I'm guessing, dude, I'm guessing. I'm guessing, dude. I just 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.160 know there was beef, and not like the meaty man 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.640 meet beef, like bad beef, like like like a problem 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.000 that you have with someone. This is It's weird because 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.200 I honestly didn't think they were gonna split Jay and 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:09.040 Jimmy up. Yeah, And now to see them on different 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.920 shows and they're given each of them a hell of 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:19.120 a shot. One as the ultimate babyface walking out through 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.240 the piece crack and the other is the ultimate heel 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.240 who is betrayed, and they're on different shows. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:26.000 I don't. 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.720 I don't know if it's gonna work. They got huge 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.520 balls for trying it, and I really respect them for 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.480 trying it, and I hope it works out. But we'll 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.679 find out because if they become brothers in arms again 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.160 soon sooner rather than later, then you know it didn't 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.640 work and they realize their energy together is better than separate. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.000 But and it hasn't been perfect with either guy yet. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.200 I hope it works, and I think it's got a 0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:01.360 shot because Jay just has that certain energy that people 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.520 gravitate to. He's like a son and everyone's orbiting around him. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.120 And Jimmy is the more refined as far as the 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.840 performance goes, and he's doing a good job as a 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:19.400 heal on SmackDown. But I'm really really liking what I've 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.320 seen so even though a storyline, Thanks to Cody Rhodes 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:27.200 for bringing Jay over, because I think that's gonna help 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.760 both of these guys, and that was something that I 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.520 wouldn't have had the guts, I don't think to do 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.679 to split them up. I keep them together forever. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.160 What do you think, though, do you want to think 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.000 that the Bloodline storyline is tired or is this a 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.200 sign that it's not? Like? What do you think it's just? 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.280 Isn't it just another chapter in the Bloodline? Like not 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.400 every chapter is going to be the focal point. And 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.800 that's okay because there's a lot of other storylines that 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.480 are coming to Fruition. I love the opportunity that they're 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.680 given to the Almighty Group with Montese Ford, Angelo Dawkins, 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.920 and Bobby Lashley. I like what they're doing with Judgment Day. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.600 We've got all the Gold. Like, I think we're seeing 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.280 a lot of cool rivalry. AEW's made trios kind of 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.800 cool again, right, and so I feel like WWE's seeing 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.280 that and taking a bit from their competitor, which is good. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.800 These guys should be inspiring one another, which is cool 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.680 and good for wrestling. But I don't know if it's 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.440 if it's a tired storyline in the Bloodline. It's just 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.560 a chapter in the storyline right now. It's falling apart, 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.400 and the Bloodline is basically two dudes and only one 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.000 of them represents because Roman is on a different work 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.880 schedule as the champion. So yeah, man, I'm not hating 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.840 on it because they're giving Jimmy a chance to be 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:46.439 this sort of outcast that everybody hates, like everybody in 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.880 wrestling aids, and they're giving Jay the opportunity to be 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.520 the champion or the wrestler that everybody loves. And that's 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.319 still directly connected to bloodline. So to me, that's all 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.360 bloodline story. What about you? You think it's dud. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.920 Well a great way to put it. But my hope 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.200 is that maybe the future chapters will be a little 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.200 more a little less repetitive, that's all. But I but 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:08.959 I hope that. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:20.480 And that's fair criticism. Though. Would you like to talk 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.120 to AAW Dynamite or was there anything else on RAW 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.400 you want you wanted to touch? 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.480 No, let's do it to AW. I'm like the biggest 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.559 AW fanboy in the world now. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:34.920 So A Dubbs the squosing One has lost the International championship, 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.200 of course he lost. He lost to John Frickin' Moxley, 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.480 the Werewolf, the death Jitsu Master, and man, he did 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.839 some He's been doing some cool shit in the ring 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.320 with jiu jitsu, by the way, with his with the 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.959 chokeouts and stuff like that, man, and making jiu jitsu cool, 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.800 and a part of it's not just a sleeper hole. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.800 It's actually like a rear naked choke and he doesn't, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.600 you know, lock the legs in so that it's not 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.920 really you know, he's not trying to hurt him. But 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.680 he's just badass and it was sad to see Orange 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.360 Cassidy have to lose, but he came out and gave 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.520 us a quick promo, which was a nice little appetizer 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.400 for the MJF. 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.120 The Orange Cassidy promo to open the show. That's how 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.000 over he is that anyone would accept that as an 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:23.000 opening show promode. It was super short. What do you? 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.480 They told me to stay home, but I didn't, and 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.760 then he goes, oh, I'm freshly squeezed, and I don't 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.680 have a catchphrase. I was like, this is dog shit. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.679 It was because I love, I love, but to open 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:36.400 a show. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.520 But that's his whole thing. Jeff even look at his entrance, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.599 like the billboard in the background says something cool here, No, 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.800 think of something whatever, and then instead of a pyro, 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.360 it's just one little poop. It's just it's like. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.679 He's about as funny as like a target shirt that 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.360 like you'd wear in like ninth grade, where it's like 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:58.480 a camouflage shirt. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.679 And then her reaction is unier than the segment. But 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.320 that was what Orange Nobody. I didn't like it either 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:05.920 for a long time. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:10.160 If nobody's perfect, I'm nobody, or like a camouflage shirt 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:15.760 that says like, you can't see me. It's like, I listen, dude, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.040 I'm down with them. I'm done with it. I like 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.000 the stupid kicks, I like the pockets. I'm on board 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.280 with most of it. But everything is some sort of 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.000 like pithy in like corny joke. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.040 I don't know, Yes, I like I want to talk trash. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.360 Don't aggregate me wrestling podcasts. I'm just saying like that. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:41.200 Oh you just I have another podcast and it's called Talking, 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.520 Talking Wrestling, and I'm aggregating. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.360 I'd be so jealous if you cheated on us with 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:46.640 another wrestling podcast. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.480 Talk it's not it's wrastling. That's how I get away 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:56.440 with it, all right, MJF and Samoa Joe and the 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:03.320 master storyteller Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who I've spoken so glowingly 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.320 about as well as everybody else who watches professional wrestling, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.160 this dude has been able to bring an element of 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:16.280 reality into almost almost each and every one of the 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.440 stories that he's done. And when he's done this, and 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.440 the opportunity's been there for a real moment to exist, 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.480 he has he has knocked it out of the park 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:32.120 each and every time. From the CM Punk stuff, to 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.960 the William Regal stuff and now to the Samoa Joe stuff, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.960 and I talked about it briefly. Jeff the story where 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.480 he basically got an opportunity and he tells it better 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.199 than I will. So everybody should go watch this and 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.880 you can see it on YouTube. It's a beautiful piece 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.640 of storytelling, whether you like wrestling or not. But he 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.360 talks about an opportunity he had at NXT where he 0:13:54.440 --> 0:14:00.120 got to play security and Samoa Joe treated him like 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.480 he was a kid. Joe keeps calling him kid. He's like, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.480 don't call me kid. He's trying to keep his cool. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.440 Don't call me kid. And he gets pushed into this 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.560 brick wall and treated like some punk kid because Joe 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.120 could get away with it. Well, he's not a kid anymore. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.320 I'm not a kid anymore. I mean he comes, he 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.160 goes up and down with this promo. It's so beautiful, 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.600 and he basically lets him know, like, your time is up. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.560 You never putting your hands on me again, punk ass bitch, 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.360 and Samoa Joe flips it on him and says, I 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.880 didn't do that to you because I thought you were 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.280 a kid. I just want that to be clear. I 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.880 did it because I thought you were a bitch. And 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:50.080 you see Max sell so hard and then swap five 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.160 fingers to the face and Joe just kind of takes 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.200 it and laughs and is like, all right, man, you 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.800 go ahead and get out of here. I'm gonna win 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.600 this tournament and then I'm going to wrestle you for 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.920 that time and I'm treat you like a punk ass 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.880 bitch basically, And he holds the rope open for Max 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.920 and Max doesn't bite, and then he walks away and 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.600 Max goes to get out, and Joe kicks the rope 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.720 right up into Max's nutsack, just bowld and Max goes 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.160 down and sells, and Joe's sitting there like, you stupid asshole. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.560 Of course you fell for that, And while he turns 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.640 to the crowd to kind of gloat, Max crawls over him. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.720 Here's one to your ball sack, just like Jean Claud 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.000 van Dam and blood spot when he gets the sumo 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.120 guy riding the balls, and now Joe's hurt and they 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.160 go back and forth, and Max is selling a stiff 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.280 neck from having to wrestle so much, even though it's 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.080 like three times in the last month and a half 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.360 for you. That's the ton and they go back and 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:50.760 forth and fight, and this is just gonna be awesomeness. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.880 I cannot wait for this match to happen. They put 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.600 real stuff in there, and Joe can hang with him. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.760 Joe can hang with him on the joke and hang 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.880 with anybody on the mic, but Joe can hang with 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.520 him on the microphone. He's never gonna be as as 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.480 eloquent and as colorful as Max, but his like basic 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.320 shit talk skills are at a very high level, like 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.000 a very very high level. He's just not a storyteller 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.200 shit talker like Max's. I know you love this because 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.040 this was like seven minutes of gold. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.360 Yeah, I love this and I loved I So I 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.360 love MGF as everyone knows. And I've always been a 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.800 hater of Samoa. Joe. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:25.520 Yeah you are. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.160 But here's the thing. It worked really well back and forth. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.440 I love the whole segment or whatever, But I I 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.960 don't understand how Joe Samo Joe's getting this opportunity. I 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.200 don't think that he's worthy of it. In my opinion, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:40.240 he is. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.480 Dude, You just don't you You're not seeing it, like 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.440 he's the man the crowd freaking goes crazy for him. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:46.280 They love him. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.760 Even with Max in there, they still screamed Joe, Joe Job, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.360 Joe is gone kidding. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.560 They were saying, is gonna kill you because he said 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.120 I'm because MGF was like, I'm gonna kill you, and 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.800 they started using Joe's chant against him. They started chanting 0:16:58.840 --> 0:16:59.720 tiny Dick. 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.920 W W says tiny balls aw gets right right to it, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.280 like nobody cares if your balls are small, they care 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:05.640 if you're. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.440 We're measuring, nobody's measuring balls. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.840 See why don't they aggregate that that's a killer. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.840 I'm sure backstage, Simojoe and MGF are shaking hands and 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.560 you know, you know, thickest thieves. But it's just like, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.719 I'm gonna I'm gonna watch this match where I really 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.840 don't like, where I really don't like Samojo and I 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.600 super love mg It was also cool to see them 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.280 really work the neck injury angle on MGF and the 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.160 way Adam Cole came out and helped him. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.720 Speaking of Adam Cole, it leads us to his other 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:40.240 best friend with a bad neck, Roderick Strong. Look. I 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.200 don't always love what they do with this, but I 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.680 give him this. He's way committed to the bit, to 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.680 the point where by the time it got to him 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.199 versus Darby on Collision, I was like, I'm all in 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.560 on this bit. I can't wait to see two guys 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.640 that hate MJF wrestle each other to see which one 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:03.520 gets to wrestle MJ Samoa Joe and Roderick Strong. And 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.760 I'm pretty sure Samojo is the reason Roderick Strong is 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.560 selling his neck in the first place. So this the 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.320 way they structured this tournament to get these two guys 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.520 at the end is well, very well done, and shout 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.080 out because I don't think A tournaments worked very often, 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.240 and b I don't think Aw's gotten the tournament thing right. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.680 The tag team tournament only worked because Max and Adam 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.760 were the show, but the matches were irrelevant. Everybody knew 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.840 what was going to happen because FDR is not not 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.800 losing those belts. But they've done a really good job 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.400 with this tournament and I can't wait to see Roderick 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.200 Strong and Samoa Jo kick some ass. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.399 Yeah. I liked everything about this and I agree with you, 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.639 except I didn't like the transition of Adam Cole and 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.960 MJF with two of the doctors or giant security doctors 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.600 or they look like the strongest, strongest trainers in the world. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.760 But they were like getting MJF and Adam Cole out 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.880 of there. Well, well he was a cut Rodick's coming down, 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.679 And it was like the weirdest transition of being like, 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.240 you know, he's not okay, and he's like, well he's 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.600 not okay. That's your real friend. But I think it 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.520 was probably on paper a lot better than the way 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.480 that the transition happened. It kind of looked a little clunky, but. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:26.359 Yeah, little old school, Yeah, little old school. Moving on 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:32.119 to Friday Night SmackDown, Fight Night, Baby, too much to talk, 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.520 and we've already talked some Jimmy us. So La Night 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.920 my friend. He's got beef with Austin Theory and he's 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:43.439 got beef with Grayson Waller now, and Grayson was on 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:49.600 commentary and Austin Theory was wrestling La Night, and La 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:55.000 Night got a clean here you go in your face victory, 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.720 keeping him strong. The story that they told for those 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.000 who don't watch, but y'all just like to listen because 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.120 you're awesome. Grayson Waller does like a talk show bit. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.480 We've talked about, like the Miz doing this talk show bit. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.280 I'm not the biggest fan of it. But Grayson Waller 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:13.280 can wrestle, and he has charisma. He has a chance 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.200 to be a big star. I don't think they've found 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.680 the right vein for him yet, but that dude, that 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.240 dude has something for sure. Austin Theory is due for 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.040 some losses. He's been taken very well care of over 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.760 the last few months, if not over a year now, 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:33.159 and Grayson basically tried to interfere by untying the turnbuckle, 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.399 and ww does these kind of things really well. When 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.480 they shoot him sometimes they cut away from impact moves 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.760 too quickly, which is weird, but when they's shenanigans, they 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:43.920 cover it really well. Just look at any old Eddie 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.600 Guerrero stuff. So he takes the turnbuckle off the corner 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.119 to expose the iron ring, and now that's going to 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.240 be the focal point and the story for the rest 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.800 of this match, and Austin Theory sees it from the 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:56.720 edge of the ring while the ref's back is turned. 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.879 All this goes down and he's like, all right, I'm 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.119 gonna slam him into this that's his it's his inner monologue. 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.480 And so he brings La Knight into the ring and 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.399 he goes to spin La and or throw l a 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:07.879 Knight in there in La Night sees it and he 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.720 sells huge and he reverses action. Oh no boy, he 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.480
