But I do want to get 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.240 it out of the way early because this Raw rating 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.960 is gonna come in this afternoon ain't gonna be good 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.960 at all. And I do not want to hear people 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.000 talking about how oh the ship is sinking. No one 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.080 cares about wrestling. I don't want to hear any of 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.480 that shows on sci Fi. So we'll tell you about 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.799 the end. We've got the Winter Olympics, which affected both 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.000 SmackDown I Rampage. This week we got notes on next 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.440 week's raw, Rhonda Rousey talking about the fans, n x 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.840 T tonight and tons more back in the moment Observer 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:50.320 Live back on the show. Bran Elbert is here Wrestling 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.640 Observer Live Mix and for VB also Wrestling Observer dot Com. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.959 So what about an hour we're gonna get those raw 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.360 ratings and uh likely it's gonna be whole the show 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.840 aired on sci Fi and uh, the Winter Olympics obviously 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.560 pre emptions. It's gonna take a massive tool on all 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.959 of these shows. So if you go on social media 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.160 and seas somebody talking about how oh this is failing, 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.840 this is sinking the Nah, It's just this happens. SmackDown 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.680 two point one five one million viewers, which actually it's 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.320 not bad, down three percent from the previous week, but 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.639 it was the lowest audience they have drawn since Christmas 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.760 Eve and the lowest number for live show since December 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.640 ten point five one in eighteen forty nine lows since Christmas. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.600 They were head to head with the Winter Olympics. We 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.400 had Rampage five dred and forty thousand Down ten percent, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.440 second lowest audience for the show so far in two 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.760 eighteen to forty nine a point to oh lows and 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.640 the demo since December thirty one. It was up against 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.839 the Winter Olympics. Then of course we had RAW last night, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.600 and because of the Winter Olympics, Raw was moved to 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:05.680 I FI and my God. They were determined to try 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.800 to not do the lowest number ever because they did 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.120 the one hour commercial free gimmick first hour no commercials 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.479 and uh oh, my god and insufferably long hour and 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.120 they didn't have commercials, but it was like the I 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.360 put commercials in quotation marks. They they had what they 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.000 do on Peacock, which is if you if you pay 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.160 four nine you get commercials like I don't have. I 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.719 don't pay the fort nit nine tier because I'm rich, 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.160 but I think they are like, you know, a car 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:40.360 commercial or whatever, and so I I splurge for because 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.080 I don't want to watch commercials, and instead I see 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.599 some random, you know video for Omas. Oh, here's Omas 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.960 growing up or whatever, and it's like, what a waste 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.560 of time. It's pointless. So you're getting commercials one way 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.599 or the other. And they had video packages and video 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.599 packages and blah blah blah blah blah. But still it 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.600 was like that hour fell like three hours and then 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.320 there was two more hours. But anyway, the point is 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.400 they're trying to avoid getting the lowest rating of all time, 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.480 and maybe they won't. I guess we'll find out. But 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:16.279 tonight also we have got also on sci Fi, we 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.920 have n x T two point oh and bro, nothing 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.680 saving this show. I mean, we got Mandy Rose Kaylee 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:27.560 Ray for the n x T women's title, and I 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.800 I don't know. I don't think it's impossible that Kaylee 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.440 Ray beats Mandy Rose for the title, But I guess 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.800 we'll find out tonight. Rose experiment and would be over 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.280 then if that case, Bro, that Manny Rose experiment was 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.160 over for me when I watched that show last week, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.920 and it looked like it was over for her to 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.080 like she was just done with it. But we got 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.360 braun Breaker Santos Escobar in a championship summit. We got 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.680 m s K versus Malik, Blade and Dress and No 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:58.600 Fee in the Dusty Classic semifinal, Creed Brothers versus Grizzled 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:04.200 Young Vets in a uh Dusty uh semifinal. In the match. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.280 I'm going to like the most Sarai and Dakota Kai, 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.359 Wendy Chi and Tiffany Stratton, l A Knight and uh 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:15.720 and Songa. Uh. You know. I didn't want to say, however, 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.599 that I really like the team of Eddress, No Fey 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.600 and Mallik Blade outside the Ring. Okay, this is the problem. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.520 This is the problem everybody with this show. Okay, there 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.440 are people on this show, on this n x T 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.720 two point oh that actually are like really great characters, 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.640 like uh, what's his name? The no the gangster, Well, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:44.120 Trick too, he's awesome as well, but uh, Tony D'Angelo, dude, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.960 it's a goofy gimmick, but like he doesn't really well. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.400 And backstage Malik Blade and Eddress and no Fay, I mean, 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:57.440 they're very, very fun, charismatic characters. And uh, who did 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.679 you mention? Oh yeah, Trick Trick Williams, you know, fantastic talker. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.960 But they're all greener, absolutely greener than grass. And what 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.040 happened to lash Legend? Like I even liked her segments 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.400 of all things Greener than grass? So that's the problem. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.680 Like you you you want to watch these characters, but 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.920 then they get in the ring, it's like, oh my god, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:26.320 like dude, but that's that's the that's what's going on. Yeah, 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.200 even f c W. It's like you're exposing these people 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.920 on national television long before they're ready. I know it, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.160 and it doesn't help them. And that's been my thing 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.000 from day one with a lot of this is how 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.880 is this going to help people? When your braun breaker 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:45.280 like one is enough like and he had natural gifts 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.880 in a background and all that stuff, and still it 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.280 takes a long time to really get it as great 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.920 as braun Breaker is, you know, months into his career 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.680 or whatever it's been now weeks into his career, you know, combined, 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.840 so you know, one is another Grayson Waller. To have 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.320 all of these other people like that, it just doesn't 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.560 do anybody any good. And I do want to rewind 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.920 back to hold on before you do that. I want 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.680 to throw in Grayson Waller here because he's not as 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.160 green as the other guys, and with the right opponent, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.120 he can have a good match. But he carries himself 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.560 like a superstar and he's he's a great talker, but 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.960 you know, being able to be carried by AJ styles, 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.320 I mean, dude, unless your name is Omas. Mike could 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.800 be carried by a j styles, so he's still got 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.559 a waste to go. But I do like Grays and 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.560 Waller as well. And on the women's side, who do 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.400 you have to carry that load? You know? I guess 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.960 it's EO, you know, for right now, But it's just 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.600 it's it's frustrating on that side of the ledger too, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.480 because you see women's wrestling everywhere else and you see 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.320 they have really talented women like Saray. There's a reason 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.760 that they signed her, Like Kaylee Ray, there was a 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.199 reason that they signed her. And are they maximizing them? 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.319 Are they getting them ready for stardom or an even 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.600 like that? No, they absolutely aren't, unless you mean they're 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.960 getting ready to them ready for stardom because once their 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.160 contracts up, they can leave and go to stardom. And actually, 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.520 you know where I hope Tony Storm ends up. And 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.600 I don't know what the status is with her and 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.880 her contract or anything like that, but boy, that's a 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.200 name I would like to see back in that mix, 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.600 you know, in Japan, as opposed to what she was 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.600 doing in w w E where frankly, I mean, that's 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.480 when you look at that whole roster men or women 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.920 like that's as much as you can try to aspire 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.120 her to. In some cases is Tony Storm. You make 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.839 it to the main roster and they forget about you, 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.680 or they don't know what to do with you, or 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.680 they embarrass you or whatever it is. I mean, it's 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.760 just it's such a mess right now, it really is. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.079 I know a lot of people are are fans of 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.400 coraa Jade and everything like that, and it's nothing personal 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.720 to the actual course I've talked about her character on 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.520 this show. Her character on this show is so dumb 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.599 and a loser. That's her character. So they're getting it 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.680 ready for the main roster that way, because that's what 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.840 they're filled with a bunch of. Now. The only thing 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.320 they have to teach her is how to be bad 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.559 with money to complete all of the cycles that they 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.080 have up there, you know, when it comes to their people. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.760 The thing with core Jay does there's another great example 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.400 of somebody who's got, you know, some experience, and she's 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.640 somebody that you should be pushing and being really careful 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.880 with and really building up and establishing. And they're not. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.920 They're doing exactly what they're actually doing on the main roster, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.640 which is just embarrassing her and beating her like that's 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.320 actually going to help her, like she's going to overcome something. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.000 I mean, it's ridiculous. Look a Live Look a liv Morgan, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.560 the Live Morgan thing from last night. She had a shot. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.880 She's all done. If I'm being honest, that laws almost 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:55.400 broke me. But it didn't. What even the stuff they 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.000 give her. And that's the other thing too, is how 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.560 are these people ever going to develop? They when you 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.920 never get a chance to figure out who you are 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.679 and you are given something and then said you have 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.240 to be in this box, learn how to to be 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.400 in this box, you never you never actually are able 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.680 to express yourself. The fans really liked Live Morgan. They 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.000 really are attached to her. But the more it goes on, 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.319 the more it slips away because they give her dialogue 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.040 she can't do. That doesn't sound like it's coming from her. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.200 The dialogue they do give her that she's trying to 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.000 fumble out is always bad. It's always you know, her 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.840 overcoming because she lost, and it's like she's a loser 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.120 that talks about being a loser. But if she gets 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.720 that one more chance, and it's like, how are you 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.000 building any support for her? How are you getting any 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.880 swell behind her? And unfortunately most of the characters are 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.040 like that. They're so overly flawed in their mess. They 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.240 don't know how to build baby faces. It's that simple. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.440 Is it true that they sent Live Morgan to the 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.640 local cricket store before riot? Is that actually true? And 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.599 then they beat her on the show? I mean, it 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.400 shouldn't be surprised. But I'm gonna talk about Denver. They 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.240 didn't crush anybody with him. That's a guy who could 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.679 use a win that people pop for. He could have 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.920 murdered somebody on that show and he didn't get to 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.680 run a second. But I got a preview for tonight's 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:21.559 Toga Party. I'm gonna talk about these characters because we're 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.120 watching Raw from and there were a lot of dumb 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.560 characters coming and going. I'm gonna talk about these characters 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.480 I had. I had. My mind was blown when I 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:45.680 watched Menia nine in the Filthy Observer live. Well, let's 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.640 do this Raw report, everybody, Let's get this out of 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.080 the way. I mean, the first semeon of the show 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.920 was absolutely fantastic. The quiz Bowl because everybody involved in 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:02.400 the quizzble Is is fantastic and even believe it or not, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.000 like when they turned Otis heel and they took away 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.520 everything that was awesome about him as a baby face 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.280 like you, you blokes are out of your mind. He's 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.200 not back there yet, but he is now. He's gotten close. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.520 He's gotten close. So I'll give it to Otis. Chad 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:22.440 Gable is fantastic. Randy Orton and Riddle both play. I 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.160 was gonna say they're characters, but they're just both you 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.280 know themselves, and they're fantastic in these And you know what, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.280 this dork, Kevin Patrick is the greatest dork. I love 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:39.200 this guy. Don't call him a dor. They only hire you. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.000 He said, you don't know anything about real sports. Let 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.520 me tell you what he has been. He's been a 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.559 thorn in the side of a lot of people. You 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.120 remember that, especially Kevin Owens and people like that. One 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.520 of the reasons why he is because Jim Gray, that's 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.120 who he to me, he is modeled after almost to 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.640 a t, the way he was rolling up on people 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.320 asking him questions after they lost in being that guy 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.840 who was a thorn in the side of people, he 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:09.480 hasn't gone full geek Byron, so out Kevin Patrick. Second, 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.720 just because you're gonna you can't compare him to Byron Saxon. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:17.280 And then CONFU, who are you comparing this poor guy too? 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.320 Who do you think? Have you ever watched him? They 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.240 only hire you if you're a dork, and that's what 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.760 they do. They hire him maybe a dork and he's 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:30.680 a great. So anyway, they do this, uh, this quizzble, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.000 and uh, I thought it was absolutely awesome, except I 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.320 totally thought they dropped the ball on the most obvious 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.800 thing ever, which is they're going back and forth, and 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.600 uh it ends up being four and two in favor 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.240 of the Heels, and so, uh, four or three actually 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.320 is where it was here. So it's Randy Orton's turn. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.120 They're down by one and if they miss it, then 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.400 the other team gets a chance to to get it right. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.280 So Randy Orton asked for these sports? Uh the deal? 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.640 And uh they ask sports question involving Denver, Colorado, which 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.120 is where they are. And so even though I think 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.280 in storyline Orton knew the answer, what he did was 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.880 he pulled the crowd. Okay, which is ridiculous because they 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.120 said you don't have a lifeline because Riddle tried to 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.880 uh he wanted to call somebody or something like that, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.800 and so, uh, he pulls the crowd and they all 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.720 help him with the answer. John Elway and Chad Gables like, 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.720 you can't do that. That's cheating. You can't pull this crowd. 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:35.520 That's ridiculous. So the next question is metric conversions, and 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:42.280 the question is, uh, how many how many grahams in 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.520 and ounce and uh, you know, straight laced Chad Gable 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.840 four point o g p A, you don't know the answer. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.520 And I thought, this is a perfect opportunity to do 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.760 the same thing that Orton did and pull the crowd. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.400 Now the key is as long as in real life, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.040 you know he knows what the answer is going to be, 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.800 you can work it. Because the answer is twenty eight 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:10.720 grahams and the options were like twelve, sixteen, thirty two. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.080 So Chad Gable has act like he doesn't know the 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.160 answer and he tries to pull the crowd and they'll 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.280 be going sixteen and so of course then he says 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.680 what the crowd says and he loses, and so they 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.360 screwed him. It would have been so great now if 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.360 by chance the crowd stupid and they're actually helping the 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.280 heel by chanting twenty eight, then that's when Chad Gable 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.880 just go, I don't trust you fans the answer sixteen. 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.040 And then of course it turns out it is twenty eight, 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.160 and then he's even more fears. I thought, God, how 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.040 could you have dropped the ball on this? But that 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.240 was the only problem. The segment was awesome, and uh, anyway, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.440 Gordon and Riddle win in the end h with another 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.560 weed joke, and and Chad Gables all upset and they 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.640 keep buzzing this thing and he's acting like he has 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.320 a heart attack every time there's a buzz. This segment 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.760 was just great. It was awesome. So we had two 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.640 hits and one miss. You're counting because a scooter race 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.679 was just stupid. But like Orton being the stoner and 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.480 messing up his own line, Yeah, he was so stoney. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.320 Screwed up his line about you're not the only one 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:15.680 who bakes Riddle anyway with Otis too, and it's still 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.320 I like how ham was a trigger word for Otis 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.560 And you're right. You look, this is one thing I've 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.239 been saying about this ascension of Chad Gable and this 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:27.280 team with Otis is the fact that they're slowly, very 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.440 slowly creeping out more old Otis And I don't know 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.199 if we're ever going to get the shakes and waits 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.040 Otis again. But I hope they're not doing this to 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.199 turn either Chad Cable or Otis on each other. I 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.120 like them as a team. I think they should stick 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.520 as a team for as long as possible, and considering 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.640 they don't have any might be a good idea. Bro, 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.560 the guy that wrote this game sounds dumb if you 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.159 didn't watch Rang, I don't even want to hear your 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.840 criticism about this game. This game was awesome and these 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.520 fans were super into it. Like when someone shose sports 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.920 as a category, they're like, yeah, you actually see people 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.199 up and up and down. This was not crowd sweeting. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.159 They loved this sag and they went it went twenty minutes. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.840 We've had a lot of opening satements with talking going 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.160 back and forth that have gone twenty minutes that weren't 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.480 anywhere near as it's you know, as fun as this. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.639 So and I also, by the way, too before we 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.040 getting further into this, and we're never gonna get this done. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.080 But go ahead, well hold on, because we have a 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.080 whole rest of the show to talk about this. The 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.200 only thing I really have to say about the rest 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.000 of this is that hour was not that bad to me. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:27.840 I thought they did a good job with everything in it. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.680 I thought the tag match they came after it was exciting, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.359 and I thought, I know you're gonna bash the first hour, 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.359 but I didn't think it was that bad. I thought 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.879 the problem though, came later in the show when he 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.360 got into the second hour and the third hour, where 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.560 it was like, oh God, kill me. I thought they 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.680 did a good job at the first hour. I thought 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.320 the rest of it was where you had the problem. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.119 All right, let me get going then, so we have 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.280 the show with you. I even here because I'm trying 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:52.679 to get this so we can get it on YouTube 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.440 without having to go through a commercial break, and then 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.119 you can do all your thoughts when we come back 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:57.760 from the break. Why don't you actually let me know? 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.760 This is just because I do it every week. We 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.040 had Alpha Academy versus The Street profits they went five 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.440 minutes and Gable got the pinfall. So keep this in mind. 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.440 By the way that they got the the win here 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.040 this is non title match. We had a Lashly m 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.960 v P segment his hometown and Lashly super over and 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.680 so what do they do with Lashly his hometown? Well 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.360 and beat him, that's nice, But other than that, they 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.840 did nothing. They talked and we never saw the guy again. 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:30.959 We had a god awful series of segments with Alexa Bliss, who, 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.680 by the way, a little while ago to an interviewed 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.080 asking us to let it play out. Ro how long 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:36.720 do I have to let this play out? It's been 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.680 like five weeks now and it's only getting worse. So 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.720 the more I let it play out, the worse it gets. 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.120 She cried because they took the replica doll away from her. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.119 She talked about how she was trying to control her 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.680 anger and failed. Whatever. A j and Damian Priest non 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.679 title match. They got five minutes and a J Styles 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.280 pins him clean in the middle of the ring. It 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:03.560 is the fourth straight loss for Damian Priest after he'd 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.959 been undefeated for a year. They have now beaten him 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.320 four straight times. I'm not a fan of this elimination 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:18.040 chamber announcement. They've already thrown in uh five women. One 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.320 more will be determined here on this show and as 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:26.000 seth rawlins Kevin Owens deal their friendies Miss TV with 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.680 Miss and Maurice and Ray and Dominic. This damn thing 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.800 went on for like nine hours, literally built around the 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:37.879 baby faces calling Miss a cheater and misinsisting he's not 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.639 a cheater. And finally Dominic gets in his face he 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.880 wants to rematch, Miss gives it to him. They go 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.800 one minute and forty seconds of which one minute is 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.800 Maurice getting ejected, and then Dominic mysterio school boys him 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.359 and pins him. Big win for old Dominic. Here on 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.720 this show, Bianca beating Nicky ash for in It's ko 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.119 d nothing match we had in our truth to Mina 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.159 to Zawa Data Brooke Reggie segment, they're doing a romance 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:12.040 angle with Dana and Reggie. She likes him, but she 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:17.840 only wants to be friends. He's lost in her voluptuous lips. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.520 But then they're chased off again. So this I can't 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.960 say this will continue because probably know they'll drop it 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.479 next week. Kevin Owens Austin theory, you know Austin theories 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.240 in the elimination chamber after beating Kevin Owens, but his 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.800 w w E so we gotta go fifty fifty. Kevin 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.600 Owens nine minute match, beats him clean in the middle 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.840 of the ring with the stunner, because of course he did. 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.080 We are we just talking about and I told you 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.320 all this would happen, but no one likes to listen 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:47.320 to me. We had Alita Becky Lynch segment, which, uh, 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.840 you know, Becky does the old deal. Oh, I you 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.920 were my teenage hero. I have so much respect for you, 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.320 but I want to beat you and I'm insulted that 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.440 you want my title. And long story short, they had 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.840 a her fluffle and lead a later out with the 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.080 twist of Fate and then went up top and hit 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:11.119 the Moon Salt. They gave it all away, whatever doesn't matter. 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.160 They're gonna wrestle at the at the pay per view 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:18.240 save the Moon Salt brother for Saudi Arabia. Nope, they 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.640
