1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Wrestling with Freddy. Jeff Dye is traveling because he's a

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: comedian who travels a country and that's what they do.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: So you're stuck with me today. We're going to get

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: into everything from Fatal four Ways to why am I

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: wearing Don Kallis the sunglasses? To Forbidden Door on Thursday.

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Let's start the show and now your main event introducing

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: theosts are Wrestling Win Freddy, Jef DoD Hana, Fredy Friends June.

9
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: All Right, you guys, it's true. I'm wearing Evil Managers sunglasses.

10
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: You might be going like, why, that's kind of that's

11
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of stupid. Well, there's a crazy glare. It's kind

12
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: of going away. I could probably take them off them

13
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: like ten more minutes. There's a crazy glare that shoots

14
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: in and it's almost like one of those earth ships.

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: You know. Have you ever heard of those kind of

16
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: houses where they like build them in New Mexico and

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: there's no electric, no gas, no heat, no nothing, like

18
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: you just get everything from the earth and they actually work.

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if they actually work. They say they

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: actually work and people live in them. I think they

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: might have like electric solar heaters in there. Something else

22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: is going on, But anyway, this is like that it

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: faces the sun, and I have like the ceiling to

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: floor windows up here where we record, and so the

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: sun comes in and it heats this bad boy up.

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: And if I don't open it up and get fresh

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: air in here, I will cook like a microwave. So

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm wearing Don Kallis The's sunglasses. He was nice enough

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: to loan them to me. Sometimes you just dm a

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: wrestler or a manager. You're like, yo, can I borrow

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: some of your stuff? And they're like yeah, I'll send

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: it your way. And that's pretty much what happened, all right,

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, us on assignment, or he's in on

34
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: an airplane coming back from New York City, I think,

35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: so we'll see him next week. So you got me today,

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: you got me tomorrow or whenever you guys, listen, you

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: get me two days in a row. And I hope

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: everyone is well and healthy and happy. Let's let's just

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: get into wrestling. Okay. Monday Night Raw Raw was about

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: one thing, Ladies and gentlemen. It was about Adam Pierce

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: getting even with Seth Rollins because Seth pulled a shady

42
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: move with a fake injury and then he cashed in

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: on Cmpunk, who only got to hold the title for

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: mere moments before it was taken from him with a

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: stomp to the head. So we got a fatal four

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: way in Powrie. You like that accent. We're going to

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: get into the storylines right now. So first off, Cmpunk

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: in La Night don't have a problem with each other,

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: but they do have a problem with each other. But

50
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: they don't want to have a problem with each other,

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: but they're willing to have a problem with each other.

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: If one guy wants to have a problem with the

53
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: other guy, then there's a problem. That's sort of the

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: catch up. So Punkin and Knight had a match. They

55
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: had a match against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: Bronson Reid is humongous and bron Breaker did some sweet

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Steiner math. It was awesome. Just type in bron Breaker

58
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Steiner math. That'll come up. He does it better than

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: I can impersonate it. But punk and Knight, even though

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: they're not likely to tag team partners, even though they're

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: not likely to be friends anytime soon, they were good

62
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: tag team partners, and they had the match well in

63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: hand until seth Rollins blitzed them. We'll get a DQ,

64
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: we get chaos. Jay Husso comes in with a steel

65
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: chair that's kind of his go to now. It's like, hey,

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: here's a steel chair, and I'm gonna save everybody's ass

67
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: because I'm the nicest guy in the roster. And then

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Bang Adam Pierce comes out and he sanctions a fatal

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: four way. The champion seth Rawlins versus CM Punk, the

70
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: former champion versus l A. Knight, the could be would

71
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: be champion versus Jay Usso, another former champion, all at

72
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: the clash in pairs a fatal four way. This is

73
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: awesome Fatal four ways rule. I don't know why I

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: like Fatal four Ways, but I'm not that into tag matches.

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: The same amount of dudes and the tags are dramatic.

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I just I'm dumb and

77
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: can't follow them. But anyway, I love Fatal four Ways.

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: I love triple threats. You can tell multiple stories in here,

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: and look at the dudes that they have in this

80
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: main event. I'm assuming this will be the main event.

81
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: The champ and Ciampunk who hate each other. Their characters

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: can't stand one another. All they do is screw the

83
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: other one over and laugh at the other's misfortune. Seth

84
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: Rollins is clearly in charge. We'll get into picks, but

85
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: you guys know who I'm picking. He's just dressed is

86
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: so cool now. He doesn't wear the vests like La Knight.

87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: La Knight's got the arms that work for the vest.

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: That's why you're never going to see your boy in

89
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: a vest because my arms next to La Knight's arms

90
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: look like someone else as the ankles. Anyway, I can't

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: wait for this match. I know if when we do picks,

92
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Jeff's gonna pick La Night because that's this guy. I

93
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: thought La Knight and see him Punk had a weird

94
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: chemistry in the ring. When they cut their promo before

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: they got interrupted, it was like you didn't think it

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be good because they both were kind of

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: like feeling each other out, but it was really really good.

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: It was like when it like an improv exercise where

99
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: it starts off and everyone's like, oh man, is this

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna suck. I don't know if these two know what

101
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: they're doing, and all of a sudden, one of them

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: says something super funny and the other one just gets

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: it because it's their sense of humor, and then they're

104
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: off and running. Now, if you haven't done an improv class,

105
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: you're like, yo, what I can take these off? Now?

106
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: You're like, yo, what the heck is he talking about?

107
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: But if you have, or if you've ever seen the

108
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: show Barry or any other like meta Hollywood show, then

109
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. I really like their promo.

110
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I hope they get to do something again with each

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: other somewhere down the road. I don't know. I don't

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: see how organically you would have any plans for that, mate.

113
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean they'll figure out a way. They're good at writing.

114
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I really liked what they did. Anyway. They

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: had this match, and here's here's what's weird. Like, of

116
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: all four people, everyone knows only two dudes can win,

117
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: and we'll still watch this match, Like everyone knows jay

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: USO's not in there to win that match, and everyone

119
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: knows that when it's gonna be l A Knight's time,

120
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a storyline behind it because he can

121
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: carry a storyline with his acting, right, And this had

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: this just was kind of like rushed and fast, so

123
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: he's not gonna win it. So it's either gonna be

124
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Ceampunk wins it back, which I don't think is likely.

125
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I guess I'm giving you my pick now. Yes, I'm

126
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: picking against him again every time. I promise, I'm not

127
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: kinda but I don't care. Damn it. Seth Rollin's a win.

128
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: He's established this faction and needs to stand strong for

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: a little while. Hasn't been a little while yet, so

130
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: I think Seth Seth will win that all this all

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: the attack is is to like weaken your opponent, right,

132
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna beat them down, stomp them out, and hopefully

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: give him a concussion so that he's weaker when I

134
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: meet him in the fatal four way because I don't

135
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: even have to get pained to lose my match. So

136
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: now we have to rebalance the scale. So that's why

137
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: he's got these heavy hitters with him and jay Us.

138
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: So again, he was just there to help out, right,

139
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: because that's his guy and is returning the favor eternally

140
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: for Punk and he likes La and that I guess

141
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: he likes him, but he came out there to help out.

142
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: But I don't see. There's no again, there's no story,

143
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: so that it wouldn't even be a cool, shocking victory

144
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: if Jay one because there was nothing behind it. So

145
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of how I think the match

146
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: is gonna go down, and who's gonna win and the

147
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: reasons why we got? What have we got next? What

148
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: do we got next? We got? Oh, I'm so mad

149
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: at our producer because he said some mean things about

150
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: one of my favorite wrestlers, the ultimate babyface, Dominic, Mystadio

151
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: and Al Grande Americano, one of the greatest locators ever.

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: They defeated aj Styles and Dragon Lee and write in

153
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: a parenthetical or in parentheses, my producer writes loaded mask finish.

154
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: He just right away Santas, is she a cheap finished?

155
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: First of all, it's a protective plate. It's to protect

156
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: both both wrestlers. It's a it's there to protect, not

157
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: to harm, not to hurt. You don't know what he

158
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: put in there. You're just assuming it's a piece of steel.

159
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Could be padding, But you don't think about that, do you, Alex?

160
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Do you producer Alex? Anyway, he continues to write, Dominic

161
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: goes full super villain. What we're talking Dominic mysteria. If

162
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: first of all, if he did anything bad, he was

163
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: manipulated into someone told him or tricked him into doing it.

164
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: This is a handsome man. This is a man with

165
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: a good, pure heart who's in a dirty business, the

166
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: wrestling business, and he's been twisted and turned and squished

167
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: and squeezed and he's still come out on top with

168
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: gold around his waist. But every week I have to

169
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: come on here and defend this man's good name, good name,

170
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: all the things he went through coming up in the

171
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: wrestling business. Come on, that's a tough business. That's like

172
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: coming up in Hollywood. You guys feel sorry for me, right,

173
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: So Dominic deserves a little bit more love in the

174
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: note section of this podcast, and I'm gonna leave it

175
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: at that. Anyway, Dominic got the win. This story continued

176
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: over into their acquisition of Triple A, which is actually

177
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: really cool because AJ Styles is like, oh, you're gonna

178
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: hit headbut me with a piece of steel in your

179
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: masm of fu over against VI Kingo and make sure

180
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: he retains and you don't get to have his titles.

181
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: So now they can bring that storyline under raw and

182
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: they're I think what they're trying to do. Obviously, what

183
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: they're trying to do is capture more of the Latino

184
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: audience because there's a ton of analytics out there that

185
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: let people know that Latinos in this country are a

186
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: great number, and they spend billions. They spend billions of

187
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: dollars and they were spending that back in the day,

188
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: so it's I don't know how many billsllions it is now,

189
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: but they spend a lot of money, and so they

190
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: want to market to this audience. You'll see a lot

191
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: of Spanish commercials I think in the next ten minutes,

192
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: even on like English broadcasts if they do commercials. Some

193
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: of the streaming services do now, which is just like

194
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: regular TV. So why do we have streaming services? That

195
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. But whatever party on, it's

196
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna end up costing more than just have regular freaking

197
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: cable TV. I just don't I don't get it anyway.

198
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, so they get to continue their storyline. WW

199
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: does a good job with this, and we'll get into

200
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: aw storytelling too. And Tony Kahn had some a response

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: to some people criticizing and we'll get into that. We'll

202
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: get into that too, because he's right, but he's but

203
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: he's not right about the thing people are critiquing them on.

204
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that one. Sammy Zing. Sammy Sammy

205
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Zing the star of this Week and Wrestling. He got

206
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: to be on both shows. Everybody got to fall in

207
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: love with him, so he was this week's leading man

208
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: of wrestling. He was about to close it out on

209
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Russev and if he did, then he gets to be

210
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: on the path for a world title shot. That's what

211
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: Sammy wants. He wants a shot at the world title.

212
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: That's his dream. That's what he's always wanted. I've always said,

213
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe he's gonna win it one day, if Daniel

214
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Brian could win it. When the people got behind him,

215
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Sammy's ain't con sure us I'll win it to the

216
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: match gets interrupted by the MFTs and it's a DQ,

217
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: so he doesn't get the victory and he doesn't get

218
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: to be on that path, but it does protect him

219
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: and make him look good. Nobody had to lose the match.

220
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Seamus got in there just so we could see some meat.

221
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: Meat on meat. WW doesn't do the meat chant except

222
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: maybe once. I think Aw's like begging for a meat match.

223
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: So after that, Seamus came out, got some almost said

224
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: something that I shouldn't have got some meat beaten what

225
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: and then the segment was over. We get into Becky

226
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: Lynch in Maxim Dupre. Becky Lynch faked out like she

227
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: was going to challenge last week and she was like, nope, psych,

228
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: I want Maxine, the tall skinny one. She beat up

229
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: Maxine clean finish. She looked good as the champ. Becky,

230
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't. It's hard to rate wrestlers win there wrestling

231
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: because they're constantly evolving, so it's a fluid number. It's

232
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: like when everyone would put those ducks in the river

233
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: and you see which duck wins, Like, you don't know

234
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: which one's gonna win. It's just because the river's constantly

235
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: flowing and there's rocks and sticks in the way, and

236
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: sometimes one wrestler gets a clear path and one runs

237
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: into a rock and flips over, and that's your number

238
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: and you get bummed because you thought you were going

239
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: to win because you're eight years old. That's what it

240
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: is to like compare them. But Becky is top last,

241
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: right top the top last kicker, so she's top last.

242
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: I know it's not the top belt or no, I

243
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: guess Rhea's top last if we're talking lasses, so you

244
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: see what I mean. It's hard. It's hard to say

245
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: like this one is because they're both good on the mic,

246
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: they're both great in the ring, they both want different things,

247
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: they both approach their goals differently and effectively, so it's tough.

248
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: But they're two at the top, and then Charlotte and

249
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: Lexi are probably the other two. So they got like

250
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: four top dogs that can all talk on the mic

251
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: and can all and can all wrestle. But she gets

252
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: the win, Becky, This really just helps establish the intercontinental

253
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: title more than anything else. Simple, easy victory for her. Nobody.

254
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: If you were betting on DraftKings, you already knew who

255
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: was gonna win. In the odds you're betting a dollar

256
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: to win a penny. That's how easy that one was

257
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: to predict. And once we identify who that next contender is,

258
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: then we get into our predictions and all that good stuff.

259
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't always have to take down the champ

260
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: to get made. You can still get made because your

261
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: match is so good and your mic works so good.

262
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need a belt to get over and that's

263
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: when they write the story for Becky to drop the title.

264
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: So it all just depends on the talent coming up.

265
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Let's move on to smack Down Baby. The show opened

266
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: up and Solosukoa came out and he was like, Yo,

267
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: what's up, everybody, I'm freaking Solo Soca and you hate

268
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: me and the whole crowd goes, yeah, we hate you.

269
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: He's like, I got the gold, I got the MFTs,

270
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: this city sucks and you hate me and they're like yeah,

271
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: that's right, we hate you. And then all of a sudden,

272
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: here comes Sammy. Then he comes out and he says, okay,

273
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: can we talk, And Solo and all the MFTs are like, yeah,

274
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: come in here, dude, we'll bust your ass. And He's like,

275
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: come on, man, tell these big mother truckers to get

276
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: out of the ring and let's just chat. I want

277
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: to have a chat, dude. I'm not even trying to fight.

278
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: And Sola's like, all right, fine, you all get out

279
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: of here. Let me talk to this little dude and

280
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: i'ma smash him, hit him with this Simon Spie. No,

281
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: he didn't do that. They're going to talk and Sammy

282
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: thanks Solo Soca for freeing him from his world title aspirations,

283
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: and he says, I don't want I don't want it anymore.

284
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't need it anymore. I just want to be

285
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: the best I can be, and I want to find

286
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: what motivates me. Those are the matches I want to

287
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: be in. And it's not the world title anymore because you, Solo,

288
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: you big son of a bitch. He didn't say that,

289
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't curse, he's a good boy, and he says,

290
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: you motivated me. Not only do I want to take

291
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: that title. I want to bust your ass and take

292
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: away everything that's important to you the way you took

293
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: away everything that was important to me, And then we're

294
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna have something in common. Week might even be bros

295
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: after I kick your ass. And Solo's not having that.

296
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: He's like, bro, you're not even on this show man,

297
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: So go back to RAW. I don't want to ever

298
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: see your punk ass again. And Sammy says, oh, contrere monfrere.

299
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: Because he speaks French, probably because he's from Montreal, Quebec.

300
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what contrere monfrere means, except I think

301
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: it means like on the contrary, my friend. I think

302
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: that's what it means. But I never took French in

303
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: high school, so my bad if I messed it up

304
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: to my French brothers and sisters. But he says, no, dude,

305
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: I talked to the man Nick Altis and Adam Pierce,

306
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: and since I'm such a good guy, I'm not an

307
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: a hole like you. When I ask for a meeting,

308
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: they take it and they listen to me. And now

309
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm on the Blue Brand, I'm on SmackDown, and I'm

310
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: wrestling you for that chance US Championship and Solo super

311
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: pissed instantly, Sammy's Ain becomes everyone on SmackDown's favorite wrestler

312
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: because that's how over he is, and that's how easy

313
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: it is to write a babyface storyline for Sammy's Ain

314
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: over the last like four years, since he got his

315
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: ass whooped by the Bloodline for so long until they

316
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: were like a, all right, you can hang with us,

317
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: and then he was the little dog with the big

318
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: bite after that. So he goes over there. He becomes

319
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: the lead babyface, especially while Cody is out of commission

320
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: and recovering from his match and all and all that

321
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: good stuff. But Cody will be the man when he

322
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: comes back. But as far as like the people, the

323
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: people's champion or the people's favorite, I think that'll be

324
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain. I mean, he has the personality for it.

325
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: They love the way he wrestles. He's got one hell

326
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: of a finish. So yeah, we get all that. What

327
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: else the MFTs that's going to cause a bunch of hell,

328
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: But Sammy's got his own boys. Oh. This all built

329
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: into a match, by the way, with Sammy Zain, Jimmy

330
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: Usso and Jacob Fatu coming out to get his back

331
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: against Solo and the MFTs, and that was going to

332
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: be the main event for that night. The question is,

333
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: and this was posed by our awesome producer Alex, do

334
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: we really think that Sammy has a legit chance at

335
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: a world title? Or is the US title the IC title?

336
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: Is that kind of where he's going to live in

337
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: the mid card. I've said this for a long time.

338
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a world champion. I

339
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: think it's just a matter of time, barring injury. He's

340
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: really good on the MIC. He's incredibly relatable as a

341
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: human being, Like he's easy to root for. He's John McClain.

342
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: But Canadian right like John McClain for those who don't know,

343
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: is the lead guy in Diehard, all the Diehard movies.

344
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: He was played by Bruce Willis, and he played this

345
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: blue collar, working class New York cop who's fair but firm,

346
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: and his superpower is he can just he doesn't have

347
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: a superpower. He's just he's tough, like he can take

348
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: more of an ass kick in than you. At the

349
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: end of the day, you might hit harder, but he'll

350
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: do more damage to you before you do it to him.

351
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Like you can't hurt him more than he can hurt you.

352
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: You could punch him ten times for every one time

353
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: he hits, but eventually you're gonna fall down and not

354
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: get up. And he's the kind of guy that always

355
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: gets up. That's Sammy's ay. He's he's the French Canadian

356
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: John McLean will we and that's why we love him

357
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: because we all believe that if you know a dude

358
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: like Sammy can do it, we can do it. He's

359
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: he's relatable. I said that already, you get what I'm saying.

360
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: We got Alexa Bliss, who has successfully done what the

361
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: WWE has not been able to do, which has helped

362
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: her in Charlotte Babyface, so good as to Lexa Bliss,

363
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Now Charlotte's getting love and you deserve a chance. Perfect

364
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: timing for her to turn on Lexi and put it

365
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: back in the crowd's face and be like, no, screw

366
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: you on me heal again. I don't think they're gonna

367
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: do that. I think if any one turns eventually to

368
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: be Alexa on Charlotte. She had a match against Piper

369
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Nivet and the Secret Hervist came in. At the end

370
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: of the match, Alexa Bliss got the win, beat her ass.

371
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: I feel like the secret Hervist. It's tricky, man, because

372
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: Chelsea's what makes the boat go down the river, right,

373
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: Chelsea Green makes the boat go. And it's I think

374
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: it's hard because what they're playing is so fictional that

375
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: you have to suspend your disbelief to be like, yeah,

376
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: all right, they're taking this security service seriously and they're

377
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: professional wrestlers wrestling in matches too, So that's where the

378
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: disconnect is, right, So you got to kind of give

379
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: it some creative latitude if you want to accept the storyline,

380
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: and if you do, then you see that Chelsea makes

381
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: the boat go. So she needs to be more involved

382
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: or fully involved in all these segments, I feel like

383
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: in order to make them, in order to make them

384
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: truly work. You could tell Chelsea is game for whatever,

385
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: and she commits one hundred percent. And if you see

386
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: the people committing one hundred percent, I think it's easier

387
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: for us to commit one hundred percent too. And now

388
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: we get to my favorite promo of the week. That's right,

389
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: even better than Hangman and MJFS because I've seen that

390
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: promo once before and I've seen this before too, but

391
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: Drew does it in a unique way. We're talking about

392
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: Dri MacIntyre and he came out and he defended himself.

393
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: He said, Yo, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't attack Cody.

394
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: I didn't attap Cody. Cody attack to me. And he's right.

395
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: He didn't show doctored footage. He showed actual footage. The

396
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: match was over, Cody Road smashed his head because he's still,

397
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, hiked up from the match, smashed his head

398
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: in a turnbuckle and was getting ready to do more

399
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: damage to him before the tables were turned and his

400
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: head got kicked into the bottom of the table. So

401
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: I'm kind of even though Drew's the a hole, I'm

402
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: kind of Withdrew on this one, not kinda. I mean,

403
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: he's right, he's just being a jerk about it and

404
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: and rubbing everyone's face. And then we love Cody, so

405
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: we're like, no, if you Drew, but you know, if

406
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: you don't swing first, it's kind of on the other dude,

407
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, And I think I'm gonna I know,

408
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: I like dirty Dom too, and you guys all booing,

409
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: but I'm maybe I just like the back guys. But

410
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm totally Withdrew on this, not totally. I think he

411
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: went a little too far. He could have given him,

412
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, a body slam or something instead of a concussion.

413
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, he his sort of heue justification, which he is.

414
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: This is his mo o, right, is he's always the

415
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: wronged party. He would still be world champion and wouldn't

416
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: have lost a match. It's just somebody's always wronging him.

417
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: The ref's wronging him, there's interference that's wronging him. Management's

418
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: wronging him. Somebody's always wronging him. Not this show, Drew.

419
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: This show when Jeff's not here, has your back, But

420
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: when Jeff is here, it's you know, it's just chaos.

421
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: It's just chaos anyway, Drew versus Cody will be awesome.

422
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I used to say that Cody was gonna

423
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: have this like John Cena type run, but even John

424
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Cena lost the title a few times to Randy Orton.

425
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: Otherwise Randy Orton wouldn't have like, what is it, fourteen

426
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: World Championship something like that. So I don't I don't know. Yeah,

427
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do our picks just yet, but I

428
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be so quick to just say, hey, Cody's got

429
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: the dub. Let's see what the odds are. Let's see

430
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: what the numbers are. It might be might be a

431
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: nice money bet to go Andrew McIntyre and watch them

432
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: shake shit up a little bit. The main event was

433
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain Jimmy Usso Jacob Fatu versus the MFTs and Zane.

434
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Sammy's ain gets the pin on Solo Sokoa, which makes

435
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: me think he's not gonna get the win when they

436
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: wrestle for the championship, and somebody's gonna do something shady

437
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: interfere in his match and cost him the victory, and

438
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: then he's gonna have to climb them out in a

439
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: little longer in order to get it, which means I

440
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: don't think Jacob Fatu is going to be in the

441
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: US title picture anymore, and that means they've got something

442
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: bigger planned for him. Maybe a Royal Rumble victory for

443
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu, big ass dude who could just throw everybody

444
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: out of the ring, clothesline everybody out of the ring,

445
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: super kick everybody out of the ring. He could do

446
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: backflips into the ring. Could be bigger and better things

447
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: because he didn't lose the title because he sucks. That

448
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: wasn't the reason why people seem to really dig him.

449
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: And he's even embracing Sammy's ain, and Sammy's ain is

450
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: going to be the one on the title run, so

451
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: he's embracing his opportunity at the US title. I don't

452
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: know bigger and better things or Jacob Fatu aew dynamite,

453
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: all right. So first off, Tony Kahan, who's response comes

454
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: to criticism a lot more than I would like to

455
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: see him respond to criticism. I don't think there's a

456
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: need from a creative perspective to apologize for your art

457
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: unless your art was meant to be offensive. And you

458
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: may say, well, I'm offended by his style of wrestling.

459
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: That's the bunch line. You what, That's fine, But he's

460
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: just trying to make art. He's just trying to make

461
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: cool wrestling, the kind of wrestling he likes, and tell

462
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: the stories that he likes to tell. But he said

463
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: he was responding to people saying, and we've questioned and

464
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: criticized some of the storytelling on aaw but when they

465
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: tell stories, I don't say that they're bad. If I

466
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: like them, I talk about them. What we say is

467
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: there's not enough and it's not consistent enough. His response was,

468
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: we tell our stories, but we tell them in the ring.

469
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: And on that note, he's one hundred percent correct. I

470
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: think their wrestlers tell awesome stories in the ring. My

471
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: thing is always I just want to have a cool reason.

472
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: Why why are they telling this awesome story in the ring.

473
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: Because the wrestlers are top shelf man from top to bottom.

474
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: They're all top. There is no they got top shelf

475
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: dudes that can really move that put their body at

476
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: risk every single week and somehow continue to do it

477
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: every single week. And I respect that and I appreciate that.

478
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: It's the reason it's the reason why. And when they

479
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: have a good reason why, I talk about it, Jeff

480
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: talks about it, everybody talks about it because it's tons

481
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: of fun and we're gonna get into a couple of

482
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: those stories, right freaking now. So a love you, ww

483
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: love you. And if that makes any of you guys upset, sorry,

484
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: you gotta just deal. All right. Here we go Hangman,

485
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Page and MJF face to face. Here's what happened, people.

486
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: MJF hit them with the Sea Biscuit forgetting once again,

487
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: the Sea Biscuit won the race. MJF should have watched

488
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: the movie. Should have watched the movie. Anyway, Hangman called

489
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: him a coward. He said, you don't think you think

490
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're trying to do. Bro, you

491
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: gonna do you think you're gonna god me into just

492
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: offering you a championship so you don't have to use

493
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: your contract. Stupid, stupid, That's how my cousin would say

494
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: it in New York. Stupid, what are you stoopid? Anyway,

495
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: MJF has been goaded into this type of response before.

496
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: When Will Osprey was on the scene and they had

497
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: their run and Osprey got in his face and MJF.

498
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: He kind of challenged mjf's guts and MJF was like, well,

499
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: they used to cheer for me before you got here.

500
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: And that's how you break him, right. You kind of

501
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: insult him the way he's insulting you, and you you

502
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: match that energy, right, and you don't let him know

503
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: that it's hurting you, like you don't let it affect you.

504
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: You just give it right back to him. Will Osprey

505
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: did it. Hang Man did it, and he tricked MJF.

506
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: And it's it once again and he goes, oh, yeah,

507
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: well I will catch in my contract forbidden door in

508
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: your face. What oh shit? What did I do? And

509
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: now he knows he's aft. He wasted his contract and

510
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: Hangman's got him, called him a dumbass and walked out

511
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: of the ring. Good promo between the two. Not my

512
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: promo of the week. That was dre and my segment

513
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: of the week was actually I think I said it

514
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: was Sam earlier, but I think or see him and

515
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: and La Knight, but I think it was Drew. Drew

516
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: was the segment of the week or the promo the week.

517
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: So anyway, we got our main event, MJF. The Devil

518
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: versus the flawed babyface Adam Hangman Page. MJF brought up

519
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of like I don't know if it was real,

520
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: but like personal stuff. I don't know much about Hangman

521
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: Page as the past, but he brought up like alcoholism

522
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: and shit like that, which humanizes Hangman and makes him

523
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: even more of a babyface. Based on his response, He's like, yo, man,

524
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: I know I've fed up and I'm not perfect, but

525
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: here I am bro I'm vulnerable and I'm the champion

526
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: and you can suck it. And MJF wasn't having any

527
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: of that, and then he got talked into the match.

528
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: But it was really good promo. Both guys kick, but

529
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: it gets me excited to see the match. Next up,

530
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: we got John Moxley versus Kevin Knight. Kevin knightke can

531
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: fly a dude as standing jump kicks that are like

532
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: above people's heads with no momentum whatsoever. But he wasn't

533
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: beating my man, John Moxley. John Moxley got him technical submission.

534
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: I think he choked him out. Yeah, he choked him out.

535
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: Here's the most important thing. They start beating the crap

536
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: out a night and all of a sudden, here comes

537
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: Darby Allen. Darby Allen's been starting beef with the Death Riders.

538
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: That's Moxley and well, you guys know who the Death

539
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: Riders are. Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler and Marina right, who, by

540
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: the way, has gotten a lot better. Darby Allen's got

541
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: beef with him. He comes out, he makes a save.

542
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: He comes out with a skateboard and a body bag,

543
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: tries to pull Wheeler. You in the body bag, gets

544
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: him in there. This was a tough gimmick because if

545
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: you don't know where the zipper is, you struggle, and

546
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: that happened in this segment, but they still I thought

547
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: power through. Jeff would have loved it because there were

548
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: so many gimmicks in the match. He would have been like,

549
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: this is my match of the week. Oh my god.

550
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: So then Darby gets Wheeler in there and he's gonna

551
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: beat him up, and Coffin drop him, and Cloudy was like, nope,

552
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: got you boomed, gets Wheeler out and puts Darby in there,

553
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: beats up Darby in the body will Ospray comes out.

554
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, we thought he was hurt, but he's

555
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: not hurt. Yeah, and he's like, Oh, I'm still hurt

556
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: a bit, but I'm gonna fight anyway. And he comes

557
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: out and chases everybody out and he challenges Mox to

558
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: a lights out steel cage match, which prompted me to

559
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: text my wrestling chain and say, hey, what is the

560
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: lights out steel cage match? The response was, it's a

561
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: no holds barred steel cage match, which I thought all

562
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: steel cage matches were, But I digress. Anyway, it's a

563
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: forbidden door, just forbidden. So none of you guys can

564
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: watch it. That's on Sunday at ten am on the

565
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: West coast. What is that one pm on the East coast,

566
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: so be there or b square. Look, neck injuries don't

567
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: get better that quick. So everybody, if you believe in God's,

568
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: pray to your God and pray that he protects mister Osprey.

569
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: He probably won't see too much crazy stuff. I hope

570
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: you don't. There's enough wrestlers in the match that in

571
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: the main event that they that they put I'll give

572
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: you the names in a second that you can really

573
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: protect him and he can just maybe go on once

574
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: or twice and not take too much of a beating

575
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: because I don't want to see. I want to see

576
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: him in thirty minute matches and I want his body

577
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: to hold up, so hopefully he's all good. Although with

578
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: Seth Rollins fake and his knee injury, maybe you know

579
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: it's an ankle and he's just saying it's his neck

580
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: because that was what he was selling in a match

581
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: like you never know anymore, which is kind of cool.

582
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Will Ospray, Darby, Allen Tanahashi, Omega and Aboushi versus Max Claudio,

583
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: Gabe Kid and the Young Oh I should say it

584
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: the way they do it. And these two guys in

585
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: this tag called the Young Bucks or something like that.

586
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: The names are like Nate and Mick. Yeah, but they're

587
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: real good. See see we're doing it in character. I

588
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: should have put my glasses back on. Anyway. Is that

589
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: the pay per view Steeler? I don't think so. I

590
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: think the Steeler's going to be Nigel versus Zach Saber.

591
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: That's going to steal the show. But I like me

592
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: some submissions anyway. Adam Copeland defeated Stokely Hathaway in a

593
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: match where a lot of people were nervous for mister Copeland.

594
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: They didn't know, you know, he's getting older. He's getting

595
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: up there. Stokely's no joke. You didn't know what was

596
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: going to happen, you know, with Stokely's size and speed,

597
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: his agility, the side to side quickness, the raw power,

598
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: the brute strength. A lot of people were nervous. But

599
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: he barely eked out a win, you guys, he barely

600
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: did you know he took He took two spears from Stokely.

601
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: Stokely hit him so hard that Stokely I think might

602
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: have hurt his own shoulder. The ladies weren't feeling Stokely though.

603
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: They weren't going to give him any love. Copeland kind

604
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: of threw it in his face, not very nice, but

605
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: he eked out of win. No, Stokely got the shit

606
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: kicked out of him. The spear was amazing. Hurting himself

607
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: and bouncing off him was awesome. Shout out to Stokely

608
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: for taking a whooping and for having no no girls

609
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: that night. Sorry dude. Lonely Team, Team Lonely Heart. That's

610
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: the team Stokely's on, Team Lonely Heart. Anyway, AFDR came

611
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: out there weren't supposed to. There's a straining order in place,

612
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: but they said it all of a sudden, there's a

613
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: fight everywhere. He's gonna get beat up. Christian Cage comes out,

614
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: the patriarch, and he comes out and he saves Adam,

615
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: and then later Adam saves Christian and then they look

616
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: at each other and Copeland gives him a big hug.

617
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say edge once, by the way, that's pretty professional.

618
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: I might say, gives Christian a big old hug, and

619
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Christian doesn't reciprocate. He's still thinking about it. But he's

620
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: not gonna let these a holes Nick, Wayne and Kip

621
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: and FTR. He's not gonna let these a holes all

622
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 1: go after him. But it gives us a little tease.

623
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, these two could go on a tag

624
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: team run if they could get on the same page.

625
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: And a tag team of Christian and Adam Copeland eventually

626
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: leads to a TLC match, which of course would have

627
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: to be against FTR. And we'll get into how that'll

628
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: happen later. All right, Well, we'll get into it on

629
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: the Thursday show because we're running out of time over here.

630
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: What that wasn't long enough, I'm sorry, but it's true.

631
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,080
