1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Now your maybe mans, introducing the hosts Wrestling with Freddy.

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Jeff died soon. Yeah, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: episode of Wrestling with Freddie, also known as Wrestling with Friends. However,

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: our friend is still sick and not with US Canada.

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: You guys really tore my man, Jeff Die. Although he's

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: finally understood that he got the flu. It's time to

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: talk wrestling. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Wrestling with Freddie.

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: All right, people, we're gonna start with a little Monday Night.

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: We're all we did have some rear ripley versus me

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a Yam and the judgment day versus the o C.

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: But I don't this story is what it is, and

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: the o C has not been able to really look

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: good even once since the story started. So there's my

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: summation of that match. We're gonna go right to the

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: us OS and the Glue. Sammy Zane was solo Sakoa.

16
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: They discussed their success at war Games. Sammy Zane as

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: we call him, uh, the little dog. Hey, Spike case Spike,

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: how we doing, Spike? He is no longer the little

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: dog And as the week went on, even going into

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: Friday Night SmackDown. You started to see a little bit

21
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: of what we hinted at the week before, maybe even

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: two weeks before, which is the plans to kind of

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: destroy Sammy, and instead of coming from j it's actually

24
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: kind of coming from Jimmy. What I thought was kind

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: of cool. It'll probably be Solo that turns them out,

26
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: or I don't know, maybe they got some other aces

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: up their sleeves. However, Kevin Owens came out in the

28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: middle of this and him and Sammy had a really

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: nice kind of back and forth where Kevin Owen said, look,

30
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you, I get it, but I

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: don't want to fight you, I don't want to talk

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: to you. I don't want to have anything to do

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: with you, period. And to go back along ways. Now

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: I've said before, these guys are friends since forever. He

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: does have the right motivation behind this this promo. I mean,

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: he said, I know why you did what you did.

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: If you remember back in an x T when he

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: came out to congratulate and celebrate with Sammy, instead of

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: celebrating with him, he picked him up and gave him

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: a I think it was the power bomb on the

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: ring apron and just killed Sammy completely. So the betrayal

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: that they've had back and forth has gone to the

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: very beginning since they joined the w w E, and

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: Zane is fully committed to the bloodline and basically said, yeah,

45
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to have anything to do with you either.

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: It's nice to see them get We said it last week.

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: This is the only opportunity Sammy Zane has received in

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: the company. Not not the best opportunity, the only opportunity.

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: And look what this dude has done with it. I

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: love ko. I know some people still have criticisms of him,

51
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: say that five times fast, but I love it. Man.

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to be the buffist guy.

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to look like you know,

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: a commercial for for the positive qualities that steroids bringing

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: to the table. I think you can have a normal

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: body as long as you're a big, strong dude and

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: as long as you know how to fight. I'm also

58
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: a big fan of the UFC so H and jiu

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: jitsu and things like that. And the biggest, most ripped

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: guy doesn't always win, or in in the modern era

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: of m m A, the most jack woman doesn't always win.

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to my homegirl, Angie Hill. By the way,

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: UFC fighter gotta win. She's probably have three more wins

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: because she's gotten bad losses. But she's a friend of

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: the family and we love Angie Hill and respect for

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: her decision after outmi tie and her opponent looking like

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: tongue po out there kicking ass. I want to go

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: right to Austin theory. I've been up and down on

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: this guy. I feel like I've always given very honest

70
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: criticisms and honest compliments of this young man's career. I

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: think it's very hard to learn on the fly. I

72
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: know what that feels like, looking back at like my

73
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: work when I was a young actor and and booking

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: jobs more of professionalism then off of you know, being

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the best guy for the job. I know what that

76
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: feels like. And I've seen Austin struggle at times, and

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: I've seen him do really well. But I've constantly seen growth,

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: whether it was growing pains or whether it was successful growth.

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: He's always been uh developing his skills. And I thought

80
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: he did a wonderful job in the ring in the

81
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Ring on Monday, an absolute wonderful job. He cut a

82
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: promo he knew his stuff. That's two weeks in a row.

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't reading well, you can't read off

84
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: a que card when you're in the middle of the ring.

85
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: But his backstage work the week before I thought was

86
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful, and I thought he carried that energy over

87
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: after War Games in his conversation with the crowd and

88
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: to the to the at home audience. And here comes

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: Mr Seth freaking Rollins in an outfit that one could

90
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: say was feminine, as I've seen about four or five

91
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: different female wrestlers where this exact outfit to the ring,

92
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: I think the bellas being the one that that is

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: closest to mind. Maybe it was Nikki Bella. However, he

94
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: was great and as feminine and outfit as he wore, which,

95
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: just so you guys know, he basically wore a black

96
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: lace onesie to the ring. This is not my favorite

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: thing that he's worn. But if he's trying to get

98
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: people to hate him, and his mic work is too

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: good and his in ring work is too good, even

100
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: if he wrestles like a hell, it's everything so clean

101
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: and crisp. We love Seth Rollins, so he has to

102
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: find some way for you to not like him. So

103
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: it's either putting in hair extensions that are bigger than

104
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: the women wrestlers in the w w E, dying the

105
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: ends of a blonde, or wearing outfits that are gonna

106
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: make you cringe or vomit. I salute him, I feel

107
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: weird say in this, but I salute him for finding

108
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 1: a way to make me not like him. That said, Seth,

109
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: I only hated you on your entrance, so boom in

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: your face. It didn't work because the moment he started

111
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: speaking on the mic, he schools Austin theory. And I

112
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: mean this in a complimentary way. Both guys, I thought

113
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: got over. He showed some respect for what the kids accomplished,

114
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: but he used that word kid and Austin theories. Entire

115
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: storyline post failure to cash in the money in the

116
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: bank has been I'm not that kid anymore. I'm a man. Now.

117
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: This is a new version of me. Now, this would

118
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: have to be the quickest evolution in the history of

119
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the world, which is the motivation behind Rollins promo here.

120
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: But he calls him kid like two or three times,

121
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: and I just thought this was absolutely wonderful. So whatever

122
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: their plan was with with Austin pre Triple H when

123
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: it was Vince McMahon to what it is now, I

124
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: think they're doing a job. So that takes us to

125
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: the Miss versus Dexter Loomis. This story has been utterly ridiculous,

126
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: but the only person who can make utterly ridiculous work

127
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: is the miss. This match was to see if Dexter Loomis.

128
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: If he wins, he gets a contract, a w W

129
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: E contract, plus the cash that the Miss owes him

130
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: that he has not paid. Such a dirty Hollywood move, right,

131
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what Hollywood does too young actors,

132
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: young actresses. I called men and women actors side quest.

133
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: We haven't had a side question a long time. In

134
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: the world of animation, these animation actors, the voice actors

135
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: as people call them, again, they're just actors. They're just

136
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: not doing live action stuff. The paychecks are whack, all right.

137
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: When I did Star Wars Rebels, they weren't paying any

138
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: of us a dime. When I said I'm gonna walk

139
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: unless you give not only me but the rest of

140
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the cast a raise, and I made sure we all

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: got paid the same. That was the biggest Like I'm

142
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: not I says the biggest check any of them got

143
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: on a show, but it was the biggest check that

144
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Disney ever paid the voice actors per episode. But what

145
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: a lot of these actors have to deal with when

146
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the show's over is getting what's called residuals. Residuals are

147
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: kind of like reruns or when your show airs and

148
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: other places, you're still owed your check based on a

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: collectively bargained agreement with your union and all of the

150
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: studios Disney included most of the time, when these cartoons

151
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: air in other places around the world, the studios like,

152
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna know for air, and this in Japan

153
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna know for air, and this in Germany,

154
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: we're not gonna We're not gonna pay them a dime.

155
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: And these actors have to audit to get their money

156
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: because again, they're getting paid a fraction of what they'd

157
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: get paid if they were on a live action show.

158
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: And the moment they do that, they suddenly find themselves

159
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: no longer being hired by those studios. I know for

160
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: a fact that the miss doesn't know and the writers

161
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: at w w E they don't know about all this stuff.

162
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: To be that inside and to tell this level of

163
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: a story. But that's what I'm comparing it to Dexter's

164
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: old money. The mus isn't paying him, did him kind

165
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: of dirty and uh, Dexter can't sue him, right because

166
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be an in on television in ring story.

167
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: So he started stalking him and dressing up like mascots

168
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: and sneaking up on him like, uh, what was it?

169
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: And I know you did last summer when when the

170
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: Fisherman hit under the plastic and the department store and

171
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: that kills my wife. Um, if anyone remembers that, that's

172
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: basically what Dexter Loomis has been doing. It was the

173
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: end of this match that was beautiful because at the

174
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: end Dexter obviously wins, and Adam Pierce hands in his contract,

175
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: he signs it and then it gets his bag of

176
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: money and it's a bag of cash and you can

177
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: look at you can see it was real money that

178
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: was in there. I'm sure not all of it was real,

179
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: but the money on top was definitely real. Because Loomis

180
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: starts handing this cash out to the kids in the audience.

181
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: What's more baby face than a sociopathic serial killer like

182
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the like the Fisherman or like or like Jason vorhees

183
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: handing out lollipops to kids as he walks by them,

184
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: and this is legit what they're doing. He's handing out

185
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: legit Ben Franklin's hundred dollar bills two kids, I think

186
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: like four or five of them as he walks out,

187
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: which I love. Now here's the best part. The MS

188
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: runs up and smashes Loomis after he's after the MS

189
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: has already lost the match, and he snatches his bag

190
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: of money back like I'll never pay you this money.

191
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: But not only that, My man rolls up on one

192
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: of the kids that got a legit hundred dollar bill

193
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: and he takes the money away from the kid, like

194
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: like like Scrooge McDuck would do in an episode of

195
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: duck Tails or the actual Scrooge in in a Christmas Carol.

196
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: But he steals candy from a baby. He steals money

197
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: from a child, which was such an absolute genius. He'll move.

198
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: I love them is. Jeff didn't love them is when

199
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: he started this show. He loves them is now and

200
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: you love them is too, because everybody can see the

201
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: level of selflessness that this dude has. And I over

202
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: enunciate selflessness because I don't want anyone to think I'm

203
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: saying selfish because although his in character moves are selfish,

204
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: what he does as far as being able to separate

205
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: Mike from the miss is unreal. Man. Ego is a

206
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: big part in art, whether you're an actor or whether

207
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you're a professional wrestler. There's that term going into business

208
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: for yourself. Um. I've been on maybe two shows movies

209
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: where no one went into business for themselves, where nor

210
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: did dirty, dirty ass moves where they didn't make huge

211
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: changes to a scene that just makes it may make

212
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: them look great in the scene, but just destroys the

213
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: other actor or actors, either in that scene or in

214
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: scenes to come or in a further episode of a

215
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: TV show. It happens all the time I was I've

216
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: always taken pride in the fact that I didn't make

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: moves like that. Some people would say to my own

218
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: detriment sometimes, but I've always felt like, once we all

219
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: agree on a script, that's the script. Like in the

220
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: movie that I just did for Netflix, I didn't change

221
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: a single line in that, and no one went into

222
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: business for themselves. I worked with Amy Garcia, who's phenomenal.

223
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: You guys haven't seen it's a Christmas movie. If you

224
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: want to watch it with your kids or something, or

225
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: with your sweetheart because she watched an action movie with you. Fellas,

226
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: then you gotta suffer through a rhyme, come with them,

227
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: suffer through this one. It's called Christmas with You. It's

228
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: on Netflix. Um, everybody did a really kick ask job

229
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: and Amy Garcia is a freaking superstar and I really

230
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: hope great things happened or after this movie moving on.

231
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: We had a Dakota Kai versus Candice Larrey. I like

232
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: Candice Larrey. I just feel like they should have waited.

233
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, w W e signing everybody right now

234
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: now that that Vince has gone and they can make

235
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: these moves again. But they're not going to have a

236
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: story for everyone. So they're like, oh, we'll just get

237
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: her a cheap win and we'll figure out a story

238
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: down the road. Uh, Dakota Kai should have won this

239
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: damn match. She's Uh, she's definitely earned it. It would

240
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: be nice to see her get a little momentum, which

241
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: could then put a little bit of heat on Damage

242
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: Control since she's not only winning tag matches but singles

243
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: matches as well, where Bailey has not been It could

244
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: have been a legit win, which then would give your

245
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: heel leader of that group, Bailey, a reason to kind

246
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: of not like her and put a little tension in

247
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: that group, which I think it could use. But but yeah,

248
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: I felt Dakota Kai should have won the match even

249
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: though I knew Candice was going to if that makes sense.

250
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: The final match will discuss on raw Kevin Owens versus

251
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: j who so well knew who was gonna win this match. Look,

252
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: these guys are both top shelf. I'm not a professional

253
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: wrestler or booker, so I don't want to like talk

254
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: moves and and philosophy too much. Just though these guys

255
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: are awesome and they gave us a great frigging match,

256
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: and Kevin Owens won because he's Kevin friggin Owens. I

257
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: guess you can't say that because it's Seth freaking Rollins. Well,

258
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm using the g's. It's freaking not freaking Kevin Freager

259
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Owens is the man. I still love this student. He

260
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: got the win. I'm cruising through that because we have

261
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: to get to a e W Dynamite. They had a

262
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: pretty solid show. The show started off with John Moxley

263
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: and he talked about his status in the company or

264
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: his position in the company, and he basically is talking

265
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: about how badass he is, which I have zero issue

266
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: with whatsoever. And he talked a lot of trash man.

267
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't even though he's a baby face, it wasn't

268
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: a baby faced promo. He's a w does this more

269
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: than w W E where he sort of just blurs

270
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: the line and if you boo him right on, if

271
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: you cheer for him right on. He doesn't have the

272
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: mike skills or the promo skills of an m JF.

273
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: He just hasn't. I don't give a damn quality about

274
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: him on whether he's on either side of that fence.

275
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: So he comes out and he talks about being the

276
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: toughest son of a bitch out there, and here comes

277
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Adam Hangman Page. I've never been a Hangman Page guy.

278
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: He did better than normal. He did have that moment

279
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: where he went forehead to forehead with Moxley and Moxley,

280
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm not joking, didn't back up an inch. I'm not

281
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: talking about his feet scuffling back. You know that those

282
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: feet are concrete they're not going anywhere. He didn't even

283
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: lean back, which forced Adam Page two. Otherwise you have

284
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: to fight at that moment. So that was a mistake

285
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: by Page, and I know that when I've spoken about him,

286
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm usually speaking about perceived mistakes. This is just how

287
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: I see it as far as acting and scene structure. Right,

288
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: if you go nose to nose and forehead to forehead

289
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and you're the one that backs up, you don't want

290
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: none of that man, period. So if you're gonna go

291
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: that close, the next thing that has to happen as

292
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: a punch. And then these guys started fighting, and the

293
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: fighting itself it was. It didn't work out great, although

294
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: I will say it was better than a lot of

295
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: the matches that they had on on Wednesday nights Dynamite.

296
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: The talking on last week's Dynamite, because again this airs Wednesday,

297
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: so we get the new one tonight. The talking segments

298
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: were better than the matches on this on this episode

299
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: of Dynamite in particular, which isn't necessarily the worst thing,

300
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: except for the fact that it's professional wrestling and there

301
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: has to be wrestling matches. So it takes us to

302
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: Brian Danielson versus Dax Harwood. I'm not gonna have a

303
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: Worst of the Week this week, but this match just

304
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: didn't didn't play man. The chemistry wasn't wasn't there. It's

305
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: hard for Brian Danilson to have a bad match because

306
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: he's Brian Danielson. I don't know. I just didn't. I

307
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: didn't click with the story they were trying to tell.

308
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: I think both guys are good wrestlers. Commentary told a

309
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: good story as far as is Dax Harwood going to

310
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: have the conditioning and the ability to go Usually he's

311
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: used to tagging out by this time. They gave these

312
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: guys a lot of time to work. Maybe it should

313
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: have been a shorter match, but then that makes Harwood

314
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: look weak, so I'm probably wrong with that analysis. Eventually,

315
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: Danielson got Dex Harwood to tap out, which was the

316
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: right guy winning, and then uh we went backstage too

317
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: Ricky Starks cutting a promo about tonight's Dynamite Diamond Ring

318
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: Battle Royal, and he was claiming he's entering the match

319
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: because he wants to take everything away from m JF,

320
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: which was the motivation behind what was a forced promo

321
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: and get his first a E w World Championship, even

322
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: though he has a championship match coming up at Winter

323
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: Is Coming. I didn't feel this this promo needed to exist.

324
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: You keep Ricky out of this match and give the

325
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to someone else since Ricky already has this and

326
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: you know he's not gonna have an opportunity at the

327
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: World Championship at Winter is Coming. A W has done

328
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: this a few times where they give like a serious

329
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: promo in a match where you for sure know the outcome.

330
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: It was like the John Moxley promo when he was

331
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna wrestle Penta. You knew he was wrestling m j

332
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: of that's the story they're trying to tell. So he

333
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: doesn't need a promo to help sell a Penta match

334
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: because we all know who's gonna win that match. This

335
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: felt very similar to me. I like Ricky a lot.

336
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: I think Ricky can talk on the mic. This did

337
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: not showcase Ricky's ability. It did not put Ricky in

338
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: in a position that is conducive to success as far

339
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: as executing a promo because he's talking about a match

340
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: that he's just not gonna win. This is my best

341
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: of the week coming up. Samoa Joe versus a dude

342
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: that I've never heard of named a R. Fox. This

343
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: guy came out and he's got a great look, great face,

344
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: great body, and he was flipping all over the place

345
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: in a match that was eight twenty Samoa Joe. As

346
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: far as who's doing damage to who, and in an

347
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: eight twenty match, we would usually consider that just above

348
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: a squash match, and this dude, are Fox made himself

349
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: look great. He took advantage of every single opportunity that

350
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: Samoa Joe gave him in a match. It's hard to

351
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: say my best of the week is in a match

352
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: where everybody knows who's gonna win. But throw that away, man,

353
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: this was just taking full advantage of an opportunity given

354
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: to you. I think he had just signed his contract

355
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: the day before I saw the little post that said

356
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: A R. Fox is all elite, Like, all right, I

357
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: don't know who this guy is, right, I'm glad you

358
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: guys working. Dude, I don't know who you are. Bro,

359
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: you did great. I love this match, and I knew

360
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna win, But there were a couple of

361
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: moments before you got muscle busted that I was like, yeah,

362
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: one too. Oh so this was this was great man.

363
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what their plan is for this guy.

364
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can talk on the mic

365
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: or if he's gonna need help. If he needs help,

366
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: then he's in a little more trouble because they don't

367
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: have a manager that can tell a story except William Regal,

368
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: and as we will find out in the next segment,

369
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: that option is no longer viable. I'm not a big

370
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: fan of the managers in in in a e W.

371
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of one that I can get behind,

372
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: and I just I just can't. Hopefully a R can speak,

373
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna have to just be a manager and

374
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: ask for a job at a W and start to

375
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: start being able to talk trash instead of he's such

376
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: a nice guy all the time, that's gonna take us

377
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: to the best of the week. You knew it coming in.

378
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: I knew it coming in, We all knew it coming in.

379
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: And here we go m j F the a e

380
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: W World champion in the ring speaking to us for

381
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: the first time, and he's introduced very simply, very regally,

382
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: very properly by Lord William Regal and Harry comes and

383
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: this crowd thought they were ready for him, but they

384
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: were not. This is the best promo Max has ever cut.

385
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: It's better than the pipe bomb promo. This was better

386
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: not then the CM punk storyline, but then the promos.

387
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: And here's why hear me out because while the sampunk

388
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: stuff was certainly more emotional and had some real history

389
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: of his life and his experiences growing up, this was

390
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: twice as long, twice as long timing wise, he had

391
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: to control what basically would have been a wrestling match

392
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: with a commercial break in the middle of it, and

393
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: outside of him not saying shark smell blood in the water,

394
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: but shark smelling water. It was flawless and perfect. I

395
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: mean it felt like a twenty five minute promo. And

396
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: I never looked at my watch once. I was completely

397
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: entertained and I'm watching this guy just destroy everyone that

398
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: loved him, and then the moment he wanted you to

399
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: love him again, you did. He then destroyed the belt

400
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: that A e W has created and made a burbery belt,

401
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: which is just ugly and off. I love the fact

402
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: like burbery hasn't been cool and I don't know, fifteen years,

403
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: like everyone that's like an influencer or famous, stop boring

404
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Berbery so long ago, and this guy is like single

405
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: handedly trying to bring it back. And this belt looks

406
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: terrible in the best possible way, but absolutely terrible in

407
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: comparison to what the a W Championship is supposed to

408
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: look like, and actually does so. When he loses and

409
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: the next wrestler restores the stylistic honor to the title,

410
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: the crowd will and should pop. He came out there

411
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: and just absolutely knocked it out of the park. He

412
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: read an email exchange that he had and he had

413
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: this great line where he said, you need to stop

414
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: reaching for the diamond ring and start reaching for the

415
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: brass one or words to that effect. And the story

416
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: was he knocked Moxley out with brass knuckles, which is

417
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: the old school Regal weapon of choice, and then he

418
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: pulls them out and he puts them on his hand

419
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: and he starts talking about Regal and uh and the

420
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: respect that he has for him and the respect for

421
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: this partnership, and then from behind just clubs William Regal

422
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: right in the back of the neck and Regal goes down.

423
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: He's out, does one little leg wiggle but doesn't oversell it,

424
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: and he's just unconscious and Max takes his time, let's

425
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: the crowd react, and when the crowd sort of naturally

426
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: gets quiet, he goes down and sort of squats next

427
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: to him, and he says, you know, you talk to

428
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: me about not knowing the business well enough and and

429
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: not knowing what I'm doing, but you went and made

430
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: a deal with the devil and you thought this was

431
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna end well for you, and he just buries it,

432
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: just buries him. And the the announced team was beautiful

433
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: during this. It felt like he made Tony Schiavanni break

434
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: character with the things that Tony started saying about m

435
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: JF after this happened. It was beautiful. So it's not

436
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: just Maxwell that got this over. Everyone involved got this over.

437
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Regal got this over by just being still and unconscious

438
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: and not shaken too much. Or this was just wonderful.

439
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: And this was in fact William Regal's final episode of

440
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: television on a e W because he is It's been

441
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: reported now, and I believe these reports to be a

442
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: percent true that he's going back to w w E

443
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: where he was unceremoniously released. He was in charge of

444
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: n X t UM when it was the Black and Gold,

445
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: and we all loved and a t and I really

446
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: hope that's the plan for him again, and you can

447
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: get Shawn Michael's out of there and allow Sean to

448
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: do what Sean does best, which is helped these wrestlers

449
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: with their wrestling and the in ring storytelling, and allow

450
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: Regal to help them with the storylines and the reasons

451
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: why these these guys are wanting to fight and helping

452
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: the talent understand the psychology behind the motivation to fight.

453
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: I love William Regal. I loved what he tried to

454
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: contribute to a e W. I felt he succeeded in

455
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Didn't get to succeed in everything.

456
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wanted to accomplish, but he did accomplish

457
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: a lot in a very short amount of time. It

458
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: takes us to Ricky Stark's and Ari Davar. This was

459
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: a nothing squash match. Ricky ducked under the clothes line,

460
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: got the got the spear, got the row, shambo and

461
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: uh and got the win. Even though I don't think

462
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: there's gonna be any way that Ricky wins the battle

463
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: row that's gonna take us to Willow Nightingale versus Anna

464
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: j I'll say this when this I'm not gonna spend

465
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: long on this match. When this match started, I was like, oh, man, Like,

466
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: I like Willow, but she's just doing too much, too

467
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: much like smiling stuff, too much, like gimmicky stuff. After slams,

468
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: it was like almost after every move. The second half

469
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: of the match, she threw all that away and these

470
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: two girls fought. Willow ends up winning the match, but

471
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Anna Jay got some moves off and again I hated

472
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: the first half of this match. But as much as

473
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: I hated the first half, the second half I was like, yo,

474
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: what damn. I wish the match would have started like

475
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: this like they they the second half and the go

476
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: home I thought, was was much much better. I was

477
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: glad to see it at least end on a on

478
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: a high note, and and it looked like some serious

479
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: work there at the end. Let's move on to Jade Cargill.

480
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: This could have been and should have been the best

481
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: promo that she cut. As far as her comfort level

482
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: and her acting, it was, But as far as the

483
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: way it was written, I don't know if it was

484
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: written for if they were just letting her go, But

485
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: as far as the way it was written, it went

486
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: nowhere after the beginning of it. It was just filler

487
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: until this random edit to a prerecorded promo from BAA.

488
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: I have no idea where they're going with this storyline.

489
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: Once again, I was disappointed with what they're doing for Jade.

490
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what bawow skill level is as far

491
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: as telling a wrestling story or cutting a promo, but

492
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: it felt very Hey, I'm gonna give you one take,

493
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get out of here because I'm busy

494
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: making money. It came to a halt, but not in

495
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: a good way, in a bad way, and it left

496
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Jade Cargill not looking strong. Moving on to the Elite

497
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: versus the Death Triangle, this was This got back to

498
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: the trios matches that I don't like that much. I'd

499
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: liked the first two they did, which are the only

500
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: two trios matches that I've liked since I started watching

501
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: a w I will give them this. They at least

502
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: started the match differently. The Elite just ran out, ran

503
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: up the ramp, and just started fighting right away. I

504
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: don't know how you make this exciting for seven, but

505
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: shout out to the Elite. They got the win. It's

506
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: two to one death Triangle. I don't know how they

507
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: saved this story outside of disappointing fans who have bought

508
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: tickets two shows where they feel like they're going to

509
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: see them. If it was me, I would have you know,

510
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: the Elite just run it out from here and ended

511
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: in six. I guess we'll move on to Friday Night SmackDown.

512
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Shamus spots Sammy's aine. They gave a super solid match.

513
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: Sammy made the fatal error of trying to give the

514
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: ten beats of the Bowery to Shamus, which never works

515
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: out well for the opponent, and he had to take

516
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: a beating, but he did get the win with a

517
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: little with a little help from his friends. That will

518
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: just move on to the bray Wyatt promo, very similar

519
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: to the other promos he's cut. He did not take

520
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: credit for the l A Night attack from last week

521
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: where l A Night was buried in more equipment than

522
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: brock Lessner was at WrestleMania. UM. I think we can

523
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: all agree it's just another side of bray Wyatt maybe,

524
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: or maybe it's this uncle Howdy guy. I'm not feeling

525
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, because apparently they liked

526
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: the mask before they discovered how hard it was for

527
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: the actor behind it or wrestler behind it to speak

528
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: while wearing the mask. Communication, communicating your message is more

529
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: important than the look. So it was what it was.

530
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: But he's a good actor and talented and and he

531
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: can make that kind of stuff work. We had the

532
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: return of Emma, not the return, but she's wrestling again.

533
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: She is selling much more than uh she was the

534
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: first time she was there, and I mean selling. Whatever

535
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: time she spent away was was time well spent because

536
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: she's certainly evolved her craft. Basler gets the wind. The

537
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: wrong woman has the title, and I'm not going to

538
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: bag on Rhonda Rousy like I did last week, but

539
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: the wrong woman has the title. So until there's a

540
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: storyline with the women that involves one of them getting

541
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: the belt off of her, it's gonna be real hard

542
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: to make me get excited about this. Kofe versus Gunther,

543
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: the Intercontinental Champion. This is to make Gunther look strong, obviously,

544
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: because as they have an entire World Cup designed around

545
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: the winner getting to face him, so you know that

546
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Gunther's gonna win. Kofe is great. He made Gunther look great.

547
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: He hit a frog splash when Gunther was doubled over.

548
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: That was planned. My back would have exploded, all right.

549
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: I pinched my back getting Christmas ornaments out of the

550
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: attic this weekend. I can't imagine taking a frog splash

551
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: while standing and bent over. That was insane. Moving on

552
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: damage control. They have not given up on Bailey. A

553
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, I said, well, I guess they're done

554
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: with Bailey. I was wrong. They're done with her being

555
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: in that championship picture, I believe, but they're still allowing

556
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: her to lead segments, which she's good at. But this

557
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: segment wasn't about her. Dakota or EO. Live Morgan comes

558
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: out and uh interrupts them, but it wasn't even about

559
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Live Morgan. They brought back someone who I really really loved,

560
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: an n x T and this girl was just mired

561
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: with injury after injury after injury, and I think they

562
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: were all to her knee. This was the return of

563
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the young lady from Wales with the shiniest wizard to

564
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: ever shina Wizard, Mistiguan Knox. It was pretty It was

565
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: pretty cool to see her back, and I hope that

566
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: she's healthy and I would love to see her go

567
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: on a little run here. I don't know if she's

568
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: the one to dethrone Rhanda. We have to see how

569
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: they book her over the next few weeks and what

570
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: kind of mountains she's able to climb. But live Morgan

571
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 1: grabbed the Kendo sticks and she loves violence now and

572
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: beat the hell out of everybody. And then eventually Bailey

573
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: had to eat the shiniest Wizard right to the dome.

574
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: I love that move so much, it's like I think

575
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: it was originated in New Japan Pro wrestling. That's gonna

576
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: take us to the final match and the final segment

577
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: of our show, the World Cup Finals, Ricochet versus Santos Escobar. Unfortunately,

578
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: the right guy lost the match. Ricochet and his up

579
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: ends up winning and he has to win because Gunther

580
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: beat Kofi and you have to have a baby face

581
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: go against Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. But let's forget

582
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: about the winners and losers. These guys killed it. It

583
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: felt like they had twenty five minutes or more. I

584
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: think there were two commercial breaks. These guys were phenomenal.

585
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: Ricochet I talked about a R Fox being able to

586
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: fly all over the place earlier in the show, put

587
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: that on pause. Ricochet has been doing this forever and

588
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: has not lost a step, and just his balance is insane,

589
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: Like he can literally tight rope without a net without fear,

590
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: do a flip on it, landed no net without feel

591
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: like he's just crazy and this dude, Santos Escobar is

592
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: going step for step with this guy. I kind of

593
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: wish that he still wore the luchat or mask in

594
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: the ring, and it's just because I love lu so much.

595
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: I love Lucha Libre, but you know, he took it

596
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: off as like a part of his gimmick and n

597
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: x T and I think that was kind of like,

598
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting rid of that mask and I'm moving on

599
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: to this next as in my life, if it was me,

600
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: I would have never put him with Zelina Vega. I

601
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: don't think he needs Selena. I think he's fine on

602
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: the microphone. I think you can allow him to develop

603
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: that skill more and more, and the more verbiage you

604
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: give to to Selena is the less opportunity for him

605
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: to improve. This match was awesome. They flew everywhere inside

606
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: the ring outside of the ring. I think they were

607
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: on all four turnbuckles throughout the match. They were rope walking,

608
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: they were walking on the wall. Santos hit a hurricane

609
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: rada off the wall, off the guard rail that separates

610
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: the people from the fans. He did like a reverse

611
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: one where he makes Ricochet basically do a backhand spring

612
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: and land on his head even though it's on his

613
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: back and shoulders, because Ricochet is a g and can

614
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: pull that move off. This match was sick. I loved it.

615
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: It's my best of the week, even though I felt

616
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: the wrong guy one. But the way they booked at

617
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: Ricochet had to win. I hope he can beat Gunther.

618
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Ricochet wins and then Santos pursues the Icy Championship

619
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: off of Ricochet, but and I would love to see

620
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: him stand out on his own. I don't again, they

621
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: signed every woman wrestler there is, so maybe they just

622
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: don't want to let Zelena wrestle because she gets hurt

623
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot, or maybe they couldn't do a story for

624
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: her in that regard, so they're gonna put her in

625
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: the ballet role. But I feel like Santos is better

626
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: than that. I really don't think he needs anybody. Every

627
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: time he speaks, I'm interested. He's smooth, he's calm, he's collected,

628
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: He's cool in a hell kind of evil way. He's

629
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: very deliberate. He doesn't waste words, he doesn't waste movement

630
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: in the ring. Even though he flies everywhere, he tends

631
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: to get across the ring in three steps. And I

632
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: love that guy. So that's my best of the week.

633
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: I'm not giving you all the worst of the week

634
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: this week. Um, outside of the fact that I missed

635
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: my partner, Mr Dye, I can't wait to get you

636
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: back next week. Don't forget um, we're taking your questions.

637
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: You've got one more week to get your questions in

638
