Former w w E Tough 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:56.920 Enough winner Sarah Lee has passed away at thirty years old. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.160 Lee's passing was announced by her mother, Terry Lee, and 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.520 a Facebook post on Thursday.

It is with heavy hearts we want to 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.600 share that our Sarah Weston is going to be with Jesus. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.280 Terry Lee wrote, We're all in shock and arrangements are 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.759 not complete.

Just a couple of days ago, 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.840 she posted something on Instagram she was she had been 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.520 back in the gym after a sinus infection, and then 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.480 word broke yesterday.

You're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:10.079 Albarez and Mike Semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.800 Megan the show. Bran Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.240 Mike simper Viv also Wrestling Observer dot Com and Holy Smokes. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.840 Do we have a big weekend of shows coming up 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.040 here SmackDown tonight, Rampage tonight, Battle of the Belt tonight, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.960 the ten A Bound for Glory pay per view Tonight, 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:38.280 Extreme Rules Tomorrow. There's a new Japan show tomorrow. I 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.200 can't watch it all, but I'm John Moxley and Nick 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.960 Gauge also tomorrow. Oh my god, that's tomorrow as well. Yeah, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.280 now looking good, bro. Let me tell you something about 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.040 John Moxley and Nick Gauge. I'm not sure if you 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.480 guys are aware of this or not, but John Moxley 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:02.760 is the current at g c W champion And for 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.040 those of you that don't know what was supposed to 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.520 happen at the at the all out show this year, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.680 c M Punk beat John Moxley, and John Moxley was 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.320 gonna go on vacation. He said it in a promo 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.320 he was gonna be gone. I don't know if it 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.600 was six weeks, eight weeks, but he was gonna be 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.640 gone for a substantial period of time. And as a 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.080 result of that, g c W set up a storyline 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.000 where John Moxley is going to defend the g c 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.320 W title against the biggest baby face ever in gc W, 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:43.160 Nick Gage, and the stipulation is that Nick Gauge's career 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:49.120 is on the line. So Nick Gauge either beats John 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:54.960 Moxley and wins the title, or Nick Gauge retires. Now 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.400 it's possible that none of this matters and Nick Age 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:04.080 is just going to retire, but it is professional wrestling, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.640 and I mean, if I had to make a bet, 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.039 I would bet that Nick Gauge is not going to retire, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.520 and that he was probably scheduled to win this title 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.520 from John Moxley because John Moxley was supposed to just 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.800 be on vacation. He was supposed to be the a 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.960 W champion. So then all hell broke loose and all 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:29.560 out and now John Moxley is the a W champion, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:36.000 So now we got potentially an issue. As noted, if 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.839 Nick Cage is just done, he's out, it's not an issue. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.839 But if Nick Gauge was supposed to win, now you've 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.640 got the a W champion who was not supposed to 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.760 be the a W champion. And my guess is Tony 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.960 CON's I would think probably not high on the idea 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.720 of the a W champion going to a g c 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.279 W show, which Mike explained was outside in the parking 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.200 lot or something and losing the title to Nick Age 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:04.440 obviously not the a W title. So this is this 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.359 is a potentially you know, I'm very intrigued by what 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.280 they do this weekend because here's the deal. What's John 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.400 Moxley's character. He's he's the man of the people. He's 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.839 not a corporate guy. He goes out there, he does 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:22.719 indie dates here and there. John Moxley's character, it's not 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.200 the sort of guy that shows up and goes I'm 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.599 just gonna hand over this title. John Moxley's character is 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.680 not the guy who's not going to show up. The 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:38.000 John Moxley character, right, he should be going to g 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.840 c W and putting over Nick Gauge if that was 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.880 a scheduled finish. But now he's got a championship that 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.279 he you know, Tony doesn't usually let his champions go 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.960 and just do jobs on indie shows. It's rare, as 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.120 in it's never happened. So it'll be very interesting this weekend. 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.679 What is going to happen in John Moxley and Nick Gage. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:04.120 We'll see. I'm just interested to see where they go. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.480 This thing is on the pier in Atlantic City, so 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.560 they could be hanging off the uh one of the 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.600 gimmick rides, or in the arcade or in the water. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.480 It's gonna be very very interesting, especially on a night 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.000 that's looking like it's gonna be under fifty degrees and 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.000 maybe a little bit of rain. It's gonna be fascinating. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.160 Gonna be fascinating for guys like Nick Wayne and Shouldn't 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.800 Skywalker that's on the show. That is a if you 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.640 really think about it, it's like a head exploding match 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.400 between the two Tony Deppen and your motto. They got 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.360 a couple of the dragon Gate guys who have coming over. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.800 But you know, I worry about that. You know, you 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.200 get the slippery canvas, you got all those other things 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.960 that come with running outside, especially and possibly in clement weather. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.560 So it is a it's really gonna be an interesting weekend, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.880 you know. The The other thing, if if I were asked, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.040 what do you do in this situation, if you're Tony Khan, 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:04.880 and here's my answer. My answer is that if Nick 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.920 Gauge is supposed to win the g c W title, 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.720 my answer is John Moxley goes in there and Nick 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.880 Gauge beats him and wins the g c W title, 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:19.840 and then whenever, guess who shows up on Dynamite and 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.040 he's getting an a W championship match, and then John 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.560 Moxley beats him. To worry about dominoes, I mean, here's 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.640 the end of the day. Here's here's here's the thing. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.600 Let's say that wouldn't have been the end of the 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.040 world if Juice Robinson would have beaten John Moxley that 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.480 title eliminator, and then a week later they have the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.480 title match and Moxley beats him. Of course not it 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.280 would have made no difference whatsoever. Is it gonna make 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.640 one bit of difference business wise? If Nick Gauge goes 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.720 in there and beats John Moxley. No, if you're concerned 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.160 about it, then you can have John Moxley beat Nick 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.520 Gauge on television. But honest to god, here's the thing, 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.600 I don't think you even need to do that. And 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:05.520 I think that given the character the John Moxley portrays, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.680 given the uh, you know, the the A E W, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.720 they they they want to give the impression that, you know, 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:19.200 we're not a big corporation. We we care about the fans, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:24.120 and the fans you know, they were promised this match 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.920 and circumstances came up, so you know what, We're gonna 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.680 give them the match, and we're gonna do something you 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.240 don't expect. We're actually gonna have our champion lose on 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.480 an indie show and it gives it gives them cred, 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.440 It gives John Moxley cred. And there's nobody, there is 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.840 no passionate a W fan that's gonna hear that John 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.880 Moxley lost a match to Nick Gauge the g c 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.199 W show and go ah, this guy's a fake champion. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.200 I can't watch this show anymore with Roman how about 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:02.920 not one? Hey? Look mean, honestly, it could very well 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.720 be the case. That Nick Caage was going to retire 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.960 lose this match, I think everybody. Yeah, I mean, as 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.600 soon as you see it on paper, you go, well, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.160 Moxley has been champion over a year. This would be 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.280 a great chance to get it off of them. Okay, 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.319 you know, we'll do this. Like nobody's gonna believe that 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.520 Nick loses. Maybe he does, And I think you're right. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.640 This is two thousand and twenty two, and considering what 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.040 the eight W fan base is, I think they'll have 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.719 more respect for John Moxley. I mean as far as 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.839 the base goes. People on the outside casual fans maybe 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.800 not so much. But you know, John Moxley losing in GCW, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.920 it's not one. It's two thousand twenty two. I don't 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.720 think anybody would care bat and I even really think 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.679 about it, unless you know, they had an ax to 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.199 grind against a W or against John Moxley or g 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:53.000 c W whatever it would be. But you can also, 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.160 because it's GCW, if there is some sort of screwy 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.280 finish to this that ends up with Moxley winning or 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.360 with you know, whatever it is. I know you don't 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.000 like to do this, but Nick Gauge is a guy 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.719 that a year from now you can bring back during 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.600 Rustlemania weekend and have a passionate outcry from the fan 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.319 base to to rally behind him, to get him out 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.040 of retirement again, to flip the stipulation over. And I 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.720 know it's a dumb kind of thing to do, but 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.040 it's not like it hasn't happened in pro wrestling before. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.600 You just need to be able to have somebody. This 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.520 is the scenario with Cody. You know he'll never get 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.240 a title shot. You know five years down the line, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.960 you could always do an angle to bring it back 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.000 where he can get a shot. And I think you 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.520 could probably do that with Nick Gauge's career here as 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.000 well too. But who knows what's going to happen, and 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.280 who knows if this does change things where they do 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.520 bring in somebody to cause a little havoc in the 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.679 main event. He bro I hate to do this because 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.800 we might have an issue, but unlug and plug your 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.040 mic back in. It's got a horrible tinny noise to 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.440 it everyone's complaining about. Luckily we'll be uh, we'll be 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.200 hitting a commercial here pretty soon. But in addition to 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.880 that show I have for you the lineup for some 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.760 back Down tonight. I have for you the lineup for 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.920 Rampage tonight, the lineup for the Bound for Glory pay 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.400 per view, the Extreme Rules pay per view, and when 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.320 we come back from the break. I know all of 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.560 you at video dot w one dot com get to 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.880 enjoy my ruggedly handsome face and HD every day. But 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.960 if you want to see it again on Vice TV, 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:30.000 the Vince McMahon documentary will be airing in just under 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.559 two weeks. I'll give you the date. You can set 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:37.520 your DVRs. Now, let's have this show Beat Raw that's 0:12:37.520 --> 0:13:08.520 coming up after the breaks over live. You're listening to 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.240 Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike semper Viv 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:21.560 on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Well, everybody, no good 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.400 deed goes unpunished. Oh. I tried to fix semper Vivs 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.360 audio for you all to this, and the whole thing 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.160 broke during the break. So Mike has it plugged in 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.720 and we're doing it. I think in our power to 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:40.400 not wiggle anything. No wiggling, Mike. If you wiggle your cord, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.079 we're gonna have big issues on the show today. I've 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.440 been told that before. We're gonna need to get this 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.760 thing repaired. Ah hey, this would be a great time 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.959 right now if anybody would like to be become a 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.640 super follower or maybe get a cameo. This might be 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.120 a good day to day. I could use some money, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.640 all right.

Al Right, here's the lineups everyone 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.760 that I mentioned. By the way, October eight o'clock PM, 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.760 Vice TV. I'll be reminding you regularly. I don't need 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.920 this thing doing viewers. I prefer it did a little 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.400 better than that. But who cares? Now? This is this 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.320 is gonna be rough. If this does a good number, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.480 this does a good number, I want a little bit. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.400 That's some strong competition. A W and n XT and 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.080 you know those You know those two shows are gonna 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:40.120 be booking that night.

There's gonna be main roster guys all 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.800 over n X T, A W is gonna have title matches. 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:52.160 I mean, they're throwing everything at the wall. So look, 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.480 I know saw Brian Solomon's on this, I know Dave 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.880 Meltzer is on this. But can we really thank you 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.760 for the house if it ends up doing a good number. Actually, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.480 now to think about it, wouldn't those shows at nine 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.320 to eleven and this is eight to nine ten. God, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.040 I hope I'm in the first hour, all right, rampage 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.520 Tonight we have the Death Triangle defending the trio's titles 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.000 against John Silver, Alex Reynolds, and ten. We got Josh Woodson, 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.080 Tony Nice versus The Varsity, Blonde, Madison Rain and Sky 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.480 Blue versus Time Mellow and Anna j John Moxley, Wheeler, 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:30.080 You to cloud Eo versus R and Private Party, as 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:35.720 well as Jose the Assistant. I better do better numbers 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.440 in that bloke coming up on Tuesday. A w Battle 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.560 the Belts follows immediately afterwards, in which we have Jade 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.440 Cardill versus Willow Nightingale. We have the Gates of Agony 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.840 versus FTR for the Ring of Honor take team titles. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:55.320 We have Trent Boretta versus Pack for the All Atlantic title. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:17:03.560 So two hours of Rampage coming tonight. Also tonight SmackDown 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.960 for two hours. We have got Zelena. She's gonna be 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.439 back soon. I don't know if it'll be tonight, but 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.080 Selena is on her way back. This has not been 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.640 advertised these first two things, so Lena should be back 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.200 soon maybe tonight. And Legato del Phantasma is expected to 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.720 be a SmackDown team. I don't know if they will 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.760 be there in person tonight, but I would not be 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.280 surprised if you saw a vignette for them on the 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.160 show tonight. We have a face to face with Roman 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:32.679 Reigns and Logan Paul. We have the intercontinal title on 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.439 the line. Gun Thir will face Samus. You seem to 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.159 say that with a little bit of a smirk on 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.919 your face, But Logan and Roman god their last That 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.080 last Logan Paul segment was a netrocity. At least we'll 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.240 get Paul. We had Paul last time, it was still neutrocity. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.199 And we have Solo so Coo versus Ricochet. And you know, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.880 gotta tell you, guys, you look at all those those 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:03.160 matches on a W rampage and there is a match 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.679 on SmackDown where the last time these two men were 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.159 in the ring together got five stars. So there's a 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.359 possibility that the best match tonight is going to be 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.680 on SmackDown on to night where we have SmackDown Rampage, 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.440 Battle the Belts and Bound for Glory. So we'll see 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.000 what kind of time they give them, what they allow 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.040 them to do. Wouldn't be surprised if Sheamus won that 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.520 title either. Now that would be interesting. Leading into tomorrow, 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.400 we've also got to the Bound for Glory Show. Brian 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:37.760 Myers will be defending the Impact Media Championship against a 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.639 TVD Josh Alexander versus Eddie Edwards for the Impact Title, 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:47.639 Jordan Grace versus Musha Slamovich for the Impact Are The 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:52.200 Women's title. The knock Knockouts. They're knockouts, that's right on 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.320 or no more. Matt Tavid and Mike Bennett versus MotorCity 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.160 Machine Guns for the tag team titles. Mike Bailey versus 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.600 Frankie Kazarian for the X Division title. Mia Yim versus 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:07.399 Mickey James. If Mickey James loses this match, she will 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:14.880 retire from professional wrestling. And I'm not saying that if 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.439 she retires she won't come back, but these sings me 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.359 less than they used to. Well, we'll see what happens. Yeah, 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.280 I know, I know some guy who keeps coming back 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.480 and trying his hand at this wrestling thing and keeps 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.840 losing tag matches. I can't remember his name, though, How 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:34.360 dare you? We've got Chelsea Green and Diana Parazzover, Sajesska 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.199 and tay A Valkyrie for the Impact Knockouts tag titles, 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:42.840 and a Call your Shots Gauntlet Match, a twenty wrestler 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:47.320 intergender gauntlet battle royal that is bound for glory. Coming 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:53.720 up here tonight and then tomorrow Extreme Rules Live. Morgan 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.359 and Rond Rousey Extreme Rules for the SmackDown Women's title. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.520 Matt Riddle and seth Rawlins. They fight pit match with 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:05.719 Daniel Cormier as the guest referee. Drew McIntyre and Carrion 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:10.640 Cross in a strap match. Bianca Versus Bailey and Eo 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:16.080 Sky for the Raw Women's title, Edge and Finn Balor 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.600 for the It's an I Quit match. Yeah, I quit. 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.440 That's a step. And then the Browling Brutes will be 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:30.280 facing Imperium in a good old fashioned Donnie Brooke match 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:32.879 might be the match of the weekend right there, no 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:38.160 matter what the promotion is. Well, I mean, if if, if, 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.199 if Gunther and Shamus have a match the same as 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.679 they had at that pay per view, good luck anything 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.080 beating it this weekend. That would mean one of those 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.359 matches I just read would have to be five stars 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:53.560 are better. That's a high bar. So there you go. 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.960 How do you think they're bringing back in your gut 0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:59.880 right now? Well, how do you feel that as though 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.520 bring back bray Wyatt, because there's been a lot of 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.520 speculation that Okay, we're gonna go ahead and cash in 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.119 on the white rapid thing, or do at least a 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.000 little bit of a bigger impact thing at the pay 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.480 per view. Could you see him get involved in a 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.960 match like a match with Edge where he helps finnmalor 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.720 do something to to cause havoc, or do you bring 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.400 him in against somebody else in a different type of scenario, 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.480 you know, you bring him in and get somebody who's 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.520 not on the card, or do you have do you 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:33.200 put some impact on something that takes place tomorrow in Philadelphia. Well, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.520 I'm trying to think about who this bloke would even 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.840 feud with. Well, that's the thing, listen, I don't know 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:42.639 if he's coming back as a baby face. I mean, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.840 he's gonna get a baby face reaction when he comes back. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.280 So maybe you could have a jolly old fiend and 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.880 he's gonna come back and go after a a heel 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.439 Dexter Loomis. I mean he could be he could be 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.720 a heel, in which case, well, who does he Who's 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:01.360 he gonna feud with Drew McIntire. I mean, you could 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.679 do the the carrying a cross true mcutyre match, and 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.639 you know Drew mcutyre. I think they really want to 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.720 get this carrying cross going. So I could see carrying 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.960 cross beating Drew after some sort of interference from the 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.000 returning fiend. I could see them doing that. I don't 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:20.880 know if that's what they're gonna do. And then Drew 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:25.720 McIntyre could feud with the fiend. Poor bloke, but again 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:27.560 I don't know. I don't know what the fiends. I 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.640 don't know if he's gonna do magic if he comes back. 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.680 And by the way, a correction, that match on SmackDown 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:34.199 that I talked about was not with Shamous, it was 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:38.199 with Kevin Owens, and uh, although I was although I 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:42.199 was wrong, let me tell you something. Bray White with 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:46.960 no hocus pocus versus Shamus had the a banger. So anyway, 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.760 this guy can do hard hitting, you know, good matches. 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.440 He doesn't need to do the magic and ocus focus. 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.960 And you know Drew mcutyre, if you've watched, if you 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.159 watched a lot of Drew mctre, I don't think this 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:03.000 bloke likes a lot of magic and hocus pocus, So 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.439 that would actually be a good first feud to to 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:10.119 kick off a new fiend who has the same mass 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.840 character everything but doesn't do magic. I'd be fine with 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.159 that well, and that, you know, if you wanted to 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:17.159 throw Edge into the mix, because we already know what 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:21.000 Edges feelings are on hocus post poco, hocus pocus and 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:27.200 magic and what PoCA hoca. That's some some poconics pocus. 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.280 So with that hocus pocus, we know Edge doesn't like it. 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:32.840 So that's why I can see maybe him splitting off 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.080 if they decide to turn a j Styles hav an 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.160 aj Style's Edge feud or something like that leading into 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.600 a big match at Survivor series. Could definitely see something 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.280 like that, And then Drew McIntyre really in some ways 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:47.320 would be the perfect person for him to come back with. Now, 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:49.359 I don't know if they want to do that, because 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.119 obviously you got do you wrong to be done with 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.640 Carrie and Cross and Drew McIntyre right away. I guess 0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:56.840 maybe you could be And if you could, that's probably 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.040 the right guy to put him in with. And again, 0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.439 you just hope that there's not as much hocus pocus 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:06.040 and there's a lot more fisticuffs and big meaty men's 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:11.440 slapping meat because Kevin Owens, Shamus, Drew McIntyre, Bobby, anybody 0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.720 that goes out there in thumps. I mean that's really again, 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:17.119 that stuff is always going to get over. That stuff 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.359 is always going to be what people want to see 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.160 in general, more than the magic. Hey listen, speaking of magic, 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.720 Speaking of magic, this person says he'd love to see 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:27.639 me and Edge go and uh go crazy at a 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:31.399 magic show with anger. I like magic. I used to 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.800
