Now, 175 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: there was a lot of stuff going into the show, 176 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: and you know, we they like we talked about earlier 177 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: in the show. They changed the performance intername. They revamped 178 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: it so it's like a thunderdome, the cages around. The 179 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: thing that that I was talking with Eli about and 180 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: a couple other friends was they never sent out an 181 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: email or anything saying, hey, you want to join you know, 182 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: the fan wall or whatever for NXC, and there was 183 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: nothing up on social media for its. 184 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I didn't even think about that, but yeah, 185 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 3: that's a good point. I wonder if these were friends 186 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: of people involved or And. 187 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: The thing is is watch looking at that fan wall. 188 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: I like that way better than the Thunderdome. And I've 189 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: been in the Thunderdome and I've experienced a few times. 190 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: And now I get emails every week of like, hey, 191 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: sign up for the Thunderdome because I guess they trust 192 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: me for being in there or something. I don't know, 193 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, it looked very well done with 194 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: that Thunderdome because it was just you know, the square 195 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: and then you still had you know, I guess maybe 196 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: fans or wrestlers or performance center talent that was in 197 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: the stands, but it looked amazing. And the fact that 198 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: they they use Damian Priest and Johnny Gargano to kick 199 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: off that night. And the thing of like that was 200 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: really cool is was Damian Priest doing his little his 201 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: archer thing and shooting his imaginary bow and arrow and 202 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: made the flames happen and that looked bad. 203 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree. That was a great like first 204 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: entrance to show you what this thing can do. It 205 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 3: was exciting. 206 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was so cool just watching how it is, 207 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: and it's it's gonna be really exciting to see, you know, 208 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: how is an XT gonna look now? How is takeovers 209 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: gonna look cause they're gonna they're gonna be from there. 210 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: And the fact that it's no longer considered the performance center, 211 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: it gives you a better feeling about it, Like you're 212 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: not watching where you know, and I'm repeating myself, you're 213 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: not watching where they train. It takes you out of 214 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: that element. You don't see the big ass fan floating 215 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: above them exactly. 216 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: And I was wondering to myself, I'm like, is this 217 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: more exciting because of this new looking place for them 218 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: to wrestle for a pay per view or is it 219 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: just like I don't know, just how it would be 220 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: just at full sale. This is definitely a step up 221 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: from Full Sale. 222 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you couldn't pick a better match to kick 223 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: off the night. And of course Damian Prison, Johnny Gargano 224 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: and me and Eli have voiced our very concerns about this. 225 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: We are not fans and this when we'll get a 226 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: hot take on this. We're not fans of Gargano. It's 227 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: something about him that I'm just like, Eh, I'm not 228 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: a fan of this guy. 229 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, me neither, and I'm glad to know that y'all 230 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: aren't either. And I like him more as a heel, 231 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: but I think because that makes less people like him. 232 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know what it is, like. He's a 233 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: phenomenal wrestler, he's one of the top workers. Just something 234 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: about him. I just don't understand. It's like me and 235 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, Like I don't like Philip Rivers and when 236 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: he played for the Chargers, didn't like it when he plays. 237 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: Something about Philip Rivers. I don't like bringing football into 238 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: wrestling talk. But Gargana was just somebody that as a wrestler, 239 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: he's amazing. But for some odd reason, I don't know why, 240 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: I just don't like him. 241 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right there with you. Although I do like 242 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: the Gargano way. I do like that, like him and 243 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: Canvas together, yes, Gregano way, like like okay, okay, and 244 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 3: yeah I'm with you guys. 245 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe me not liking him is showing 246 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: that he's doing his job as a heel. So so 247 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: the match start off really good. You had Gargando getting 248 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: a lot of offense in early and then I was 249 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: sitting here thinking, well, oh my god, like, are they 250 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: about to make Priest drop the title this quick? Because 251 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: according to like online reports like WW is highly on 252 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: Damian Priests. I mean, the dude is a very tall guy. 253 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: He can do moves off the top rope, he could 254 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: do high flying stuff, and he's like I want to say, 255 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: and I don't want to I'm not trying to compare 256 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: him to the Undertaker, but he's like a millennial version 257 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: of the Undertaker because he's been on the show before. 258 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: As most of you know, he was Punishingment Martinez in 259 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: Ring of Honor and you know, the dude can move 260 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: For a six foot six plus foot guy. 261 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew that Joey was, you know, not very tall, 262 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: but next to Damien, he Damien just looked huge. Yeah, 263 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: a beastly. 264 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: And so I was sitting here thinking, I was like, Okay, 265 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: well they're gonna do this. They were super heavy on 266 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: talking about Joey or yeah, Johnny. I don't know why 267 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: I was thinking Joey Johnny Gargano. They were heavily talking 268 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: about him and Candace being the power couple winning the titles, 269 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, well great. They literally just told 270 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: us that Gargano is gonna win and Candace is gonna 271 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: win her title. And I was like, now we're gonna 272 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: have to listen to this and blah blah blah. But 273 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: the thing that I love that is really cool is 274 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: the fact that Damian Priest is using the razor's edge 275 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: as his finish. 276 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: Oh, I know, I love that too. I'm like, I 277 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 3: loved raising Ramon back in the day, so I love 278 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: the homage. 279 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: And it's so cool watching him because you saw the 280 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: home the homage to him back at the last Takeover 281 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: where he won the ladder match because he had some 282 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: like razor gear. S kind of stop and you know, 283 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: now he's doing the razor's edge. I just hope that 284 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: they don't try to be like, you know what, we're 285 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: gonna make you as kind of like a Razor Remone character. 286 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: It's like, no, no, no, no, just let him be the 287 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: archer and let him do this because this is an 288 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: amazing thing. Just don't drop the ball on this. 289 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: Oh I know. I also saw too that they were 290 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: using this match to kind of give him his big push. Yes, 291 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: so we'll see where they go from here. Hopefully it's 292 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: not you know, I don't know. I mean, how long 293 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: has he been in NXT? Would you say? 294 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: I would say maybe a year? Maybe it's going on 295 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: two years because when he when he signed, he was 296 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: still doing stuff in NXT when Riddle was in NXT 297 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: because they were like buds and he was, you know, 298 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: Damian Priest was doing the House NXT show. So I 299 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: want to say I would probably say he's going on 300 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: two years in NXT, give or take. 301 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it's a you know, I feel like 302 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: that's about that time where they're they're going to push 303 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: him over to another brand or not. But you know, 304 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: the draft is coming up, but we don't know if 305 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 3: NXT is going to be part of it. 306 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the other exciting thing because like Triple H, 307 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: I know, he did the media calls and he said 308 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: he's not sure if NXT's a part of it, but 309 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: he's like, nobody's off limits, and I think I think, 310 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: to be completely honest, I think they should be able to, like, 311 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, everybody should kind of pick and choose if 312 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: they want to go and just show up randomly on 313 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: a night like for example, tonight, we're sitting here and 314 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: we're recording this on Monday, and we're gonna put it 315 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: out tonight. But tonight on raw Bray, Wyatt's showing up 316 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: to be on the Kevin Owen Show. 317 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. 318 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: So I think that if like, you should be able 319 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: to at least kind of go, especially if you know 320 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: you have a champion that's like it's an open challenge 321 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: and I'm going to open it up to anybody, like 322 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre did last week and Bobby Rude showed up. 323 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 3: Mm hmm and kind of like Charlotte going over to 324 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: yes do her thing. 325 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think that that should be something to 326 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: look into. I mean, it doesn't have to be an 327 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: every week thing, but I think it would be kind 328 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: of a cool thing. But Damian Priese did pick up 329 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: the whim, which I was I was super pumped about 330 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: that he didn't drop the title to Gargano just because 331 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: I was just like, eh, but I guess CBS Sports 332 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: gave that match an A minus. 333 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I would agree with that because it was 334 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: a lot of back and forth, lots of almost pins, 335 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like I was on the 336 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: edge of my seat on that one. And that was 337 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: just the first match. 338 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the next match was actually was really good 339 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: was Kashita versus Velveteen Dream. And I remember I was 340 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: texting some friends and I texted Eli. I was like, 341 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: so velveteen Dream came out as Doc Brown because Kashita 342 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: does the back to the Future Marty McFly thing. So 343 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I thought that was pretty cool. I 344 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: did connect that because I was like, I was trying 345 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: to figure it out at first, and then I was like, 346 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: you know, with all the stuff that Velveteen Dream's gone 347 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: and we've we've kind of stayed away about talking about 348 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: him and everything that's happened, but it was kind of 349 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: cool that, you know, Dream dressed is Doc Brown. And 350 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: then of course Kashida's time splitter gimmick and it was 351 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 1: a really good match. And I was sitting here looking 352 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: and Dave Meltzer actually said something about this match, because 353 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: let's see, Dave said, there's obviously something up with velveteen Dream, 354 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: especially with the way the finish went. I don't know 355 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: if he's going to the main roster, which would be 356 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: scary as hell because of the way he's looked the 357 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: last couple of months, or they've got some you know, 358 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: story where he gets destroyed and comes back and that's 359 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: the story they're telling, or like it was so overdone 360 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: with the crying and stuff at the end, like if 361 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: it were just the match and whatever. So a lot 362 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: of stuff is going on Velvet Dream Dream. Of course, 363 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: the WWE universe still is calling for velveteen Dream to 364 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: get fired over what's happening. We're not going to talk 365 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: about it. You can easily look up what happened with 366 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: velveteen Dream because we're not going into that details. But anyways, 367 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: back to the match at hand. Kashida is a phenomenal 368 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: wrestler and NXT scored a big one when they picked 369 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: him up, and I'm surprised he hasn't, you know, been 370 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: in the title picture yet. 371 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 3: I know he hasn't had too big of a push. 372 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: I feel like over the year. And actually when my 373 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 3: family and I went to n XT in last December, 374 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: We've got to see him. So that was really cool. 375 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 3: So I was in front of the TV going cool 376 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: sheet up. Yeah, super talented, the submission specialists, lots of 377 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: those going on in this and yeah, and he made 378 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 3: Velveteen like scream multiple times in that match. Yeah, I 379 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: was feeling it. Man. 380 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of just going ahead and maybe you see, 381 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: if we can put this out in the universe, I 382 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't mind seeing Kashita versus Velvet or not Velveteen Dream, 383 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: Kashida versus Finn ballad for the NXT title. 384 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm here for it. 385 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: That just making a sixty man iron man match, you 386 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: know whatever, and I'll be here for it. But uh, 387 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: Kashida picking up the win, and I think the thing 388 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: afterwards that everybody is kind of figuring out, you know, 389 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: that Kashita like beat the shit out of Dream after 390 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: the match, like just beat the piss out of him, 391 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: you know. In Kashita his hand was being raised, and instead, 392 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 1: Uh decided he attacked Dream and applied to an arm 393 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: bar with the wrist action until they were separated by 394 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: referees and then he still just beat the piss out 395 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: of and Kashita looked really good with that, and so 396 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm all for he'll Kashita. 397 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: Oh, yes, he'll Kashita. And I think you know, when 398 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 3: he did that, I'm sure most of the w W 399 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 3: universe was. 400 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, kick, and I guarantee you that that's what happened. 401 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: And you know, there was a tweet that we sent 402 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: out or not I sent out, but I sent it 403 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: out in our group chat about somebody saying, you know, 404 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: velveteen Dream and you know, the Cruiserweight Champion should go together. 405 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: You'll just look forward on Twitter you'll find it. It's 406 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: just funny stuff. But yeah, the w W universe is 407 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: very vocal when it comes to those things like that, 408 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: and WW you know, has just kind of you know, 409 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: done WWE. But CBS Sports gave that match a B, 410 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: which I can see that I'd probably say a B plus. 411 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 3: Especially following that first match. 412 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: You know, it's a tough one to follow. 413 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. Yes, I think that kind of made it, 414 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 3: you know, just a smidge lackluster to me, but it 415 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: was still a very good match. 416 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. And moving on to the next match, which 417 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: was the Cruiserweight Championship. It was Santos Escamo. I don't 418 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: know why I say it like that, just because anyways 419 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: versus Isaiah Swerve Scott, which we are big fans of 420 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: Scott on the show, and I really thought that that 421 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: that Scott was gonna win the match. 422 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. To be honest, this was like my least favorite match, 423 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 3: not saying it wasn't great, but I just didn't have 424 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: very much invested in it, I guess, but it was 425 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 3: still it was still very good. 426 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, And there there was times that I sit there 427 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: and it was great storytelling because I was sitting there 428 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: and I had the tweet ready, like I was about 429 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: to hit tweet, and I was like and new blah 430 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. 431 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 2: You know. 432 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: Uh, but like literally last second kicked out and I 433 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: was like, holy crap, Like this is actually a pretty 434 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: good match. 435 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: You know. 436 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: It's one of those things. I haven't really paid too 437 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: much close to the Cruiserweight Championship title pitcher, just because 438 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: I lost interest after Drake Maverick. Uh huh. That was 439 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: that was kind of the last thing. 440 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I'm not over super familiar with these guys. 441 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 3: That's just on my end. I don't know why. I 442 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 3: guess I just haven't been paying attention. 443 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and there hasn't I don't. I don't think there 444 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: has been very much of like when I've watched NXT 445 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: because I usually watch it the next day because I'm 446 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: watching AEW Live, which this week is gonna be phenomenal. 447 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: You got Cody and Brody leave in a dog collar match, 448 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: but we'll save that for next week's episode. But uh, yeah, 449 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I just haven't really been paying much attention to the 450 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: Cruiserweight division, I mean ever since. I mean, are they 451 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: still doing two o five live? Like? It's not the 452 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: two O five Cruiserweight Champion anymore? Can Can they take 453 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: the Cruiserweight Championship and you know, bring it over to 454 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: SmackDown or bring it over to raw like, because it's 455 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: not a NXT championship, it's not two o five Live. 456 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: They just called at the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

The Cruiserweight Championship is kind of like the the 510 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: Howie of Backstreet Boys, and I mean that in the 511 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: nicest way possible. 512 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the title of our show. The Cruiserweight 513 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: Championship is the Howie from the Backstreet Boys. 514 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 3: If you're a fan of the show, I mean no 515 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: harm oh man. 516 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: So CBS Sports gave that one of a minus. I I 517 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of disagree. I'd probably give it a B minus. 518 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of one of those. It 519 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: was background noise and there was a lot of good spots, 520 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: but other than that, it was ok. Yeah, it's okay. 521 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: But the next one is the Women's Championship Eo Shari 522 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: versus Cannas Lorat and I was like, well, okay, Cannas 523 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: is probably gonna win this match because they're still hammering 524 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: on the whole gargant a way, and you know, Gargano 525 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: didn't win his title, but canis still. I was like, okay, 526 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: how are they gonna get it off of Eo? How 527 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: are they going to have her drop this title? 528 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 4: Right? 529 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 3: And I am not ready for her to drop it yet. 530 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: No, and she has probably one of the top ring 531 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: entrance music's Like that made me feel pumped last night, 532 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: Like I was sitting there thinking, I was like, I'm 533 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: gonna add this to my my workout playlist just to 534 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: have it in here. 535 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: Oh yes, that like that base in it. Yes, and 536 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 3: especially after Candice comes out, which I think I love 537 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 3: her look right now. I think it's cool and you know, 538 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: kind of fairy tale, creepy kind of looking.

Yeah, that was awesome. 548 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 1: And I always want to wonder, like in those conversations, 549 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: like you know how those conversations go about wanting to 550 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: use somebody else's move that's still wrestling, right, Yeah. 551 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 3: Do you go to them and you're like, can I 552 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: use this? 553 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: Like I want to add this to my repertoire, but 554 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: not use it every week and it's not. 555 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, So that I would do that, you know, just 556 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 3: in case, and if it's someone I look up to, Yeah. 557 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: And that that would be pretty cool because I remember 558 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: FTR went and we talked about it on the show. 559 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: They went and asked Jericho about the codebreaker and doing 560 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: some stuff like that, and that was kind of a 561 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: cool thing. But as I was watching this match, I 562 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, we haven't seen Gargano. Somehow 563 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: Gargano's gonna get involved in this match. And lo and behold, 564 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Gargano gets involved in the match. Yeah. So the ref, 565 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: I guess, I think he took a bump. 566 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: Right, and a couple of times I think and uh. 567 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: So he somehow Gargano had a referee Shirt ran down 568 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: and was like getting in there, and I was like, 569 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, Like this is how this 570 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: match ends with Gargano doing one, two three, and I 571 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: was like please no, And you know, Gargano gay got 572 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: the NXC Women's Championship, gave it to Candae to try 573 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: to hit her with it and it didn't work. 574 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to say I was impressed by how 575 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 3: fast Eo shot up from her pen when Gargana was 576 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: counting oh Jude. 577 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: I was like, this is like a not botch call, 578 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: and she jumped super quick.

They kept it going. 664 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: But I mean it was a great match, back and forth, 665 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, brutal strikes with both of and there was 666 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: I want to say that, you know, Baler hit him 667 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: with a supplex and uh or Bower got hit with 668 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: a supplex and it was nearly on his neck and 669 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: it was like a scary looking moment and I was like, 670 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: oh shit. But I mean it was a phenomenal thing. 671 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: Of course, Baler picking up the wind and at the end, 672 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: I mean the blood coming out of both of their mouth. 673 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, now, if this is the this 674 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: is the way we get blood, I'm okay with this 675 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: because I mean that was a hard fought battle and 676 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: I mean it was just absolutely nuts. And you know 677 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: that's how it was at the end of the match, 678 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 1: they shook hands and why buddy, you want Spider Man gummies? Okay, 679 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: I'll get you some. 680 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: Hey sponsored by Spider Man Gummies. So the sweetest voice. 681 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: So uh, it ended like that they were shaking hands, 682 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, surely this isn't over. There's 683 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: still time left in NXT, and out of nowhere, Ridge 684 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: Holland appeared and had Adam Cole over his shoulder. Uh, 685 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: pretty much just dumped Cole in the ring side, and 686 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: then roder Strong and Bobby Fish came running down, acting 687 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: like they didn't know what was happening, and then asking 688 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: if anyone saw what happened. And then NXT went off 689 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: the air and I'm like, okay, maybe this is where 690 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: we now see Roderick and Bobby becoming heels and Adam's 691 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: like you were not there when he did this? Where 692 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: were you? 693 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? That could be it. I also heard that the 694 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 3: match was over early with Kyle and Finn because of 695 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 3: fossible injuries. I guess that was planned. The whole Ridge 696 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 3: Holland thing with unconscious Adam Cole I love to have 697 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 3: his shirt was just torn open. 698 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a there was a photo that somebody 699 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: had had sent out and it was like when it 700 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: was like a steal shot of when Ridge was throwing 701 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: Adam over the railing, like all of Adam's hair was 702 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: just like sticking straight out, like it looked like he 703 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 1: had been electrocuted, and it was just this weird looking 704 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: spot and it was it was the funniest thing in 705 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: the world. But yeah, so that that ended NXT takeover. 706 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: All in all, it was a great night for a 707 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: Sunday night. I didn't really watch football, and it was 708 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: the thing that I like that I've noticed here recently 709 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: is all these pay per views are getting over super early, 710 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: like they're getting over at nine o'clock or it's not 711 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: your you know Sunday night. WWE pay per view starts 712 00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: at seven o'clock and you know it's going till ten, ten, 713 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 1: ten eleven. 714 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 3: Yes, I agree. Well, they know that we've grown up 715 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 3: with it and now we're like adults and we have 716 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 3: you know, bedtimes, man, Yeah. 717 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: No kidding, And it's and that's that's what I enjoy now. 718 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: And I hope that they're able to continue to do 719 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,760 Speaker 1: stuff like that and shorten the shows up. I think 720 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: shortening the shows up makes it a lot better. It 721 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: gives you, you know, I don't want to say it 722 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: makes the matches go quicker, but it gives you you know, 723 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: you're able to fit a little bit more in and 724 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem dragged out. You're like, shit, now I'm 725 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: gonna have to sit here for three hours and watch wrestling, 726 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be that can wear. 727 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 3: Me out, you know, just I mean, I'm just sitting 728 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 3: on the couch, but mentally. 729 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like, you know, going to a live 730 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: event of Monday Night Raw. It is a three hour 731 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: pay per view and it's a three hour show and 732 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: you're like, okay, here's a match. Now you're sitting there 733 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: in the dark for and they're showing you know, in 734 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: arena commercials, but it's like, okay, now you're sitting here 735 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 1: for five minutes is very weird. Uh okay, everybody start 736 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: cheering again, and it's just you know, if it's wam 737 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: bam bam, thank you ma'am and just go with it, 738 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: then I think that that's you know, ww's looking at it, 739 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, the shorter we get, the more 740 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: people will stick around and watch mm hmm. 741 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 3: And I think having less matches like five good quality, 742 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 3: like maybe thirty minutes thirty to forty minute matches is good. Yeah, 743 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 3: good amount of time. 744 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: And you know, you do your thing, You get the 745 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: storytelling in and you look at how like, for example, 746 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: look at SmackDown, like they are making the most out 747 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: of two hours, right, and it is very intrigued like 748 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 1: a movie. Yes, and they're hitting all the right elements 749 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: and it's there. They know what they're doing. And I 750 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: like the fact that they are shortening things up and 751 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: maybe maybe this is just kind of a test and 752 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 1: see and maybe once the pandemic's over, maybe they're gonna 753 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: start shortening the shows. Because I mean, if you've ever 754 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: been to a WrestleMania it is legitimately an all day 755 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: thing for a WrestleMania day.
