I love It's mainly women at the 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: one I go to. I love these women so much, 35 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and they did everything they could to help make this 36 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: an easier process for me. I'm getting all my paperwork done, 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: I have to get the car smog checked and it 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: has to be star smog check because it's an older vehicle. 39 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: They made sure I knew that. They gave me options 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: of places close by that specialized in that because they're 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: great and I did. And the guys actually both guys 42 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: used to have Nissan Dots and two eighties, one guy 43 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: to to Fort the other guy to two eighties. So 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: they were just loving the car right, and the cars 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: running great, the engine smooth, and uh, got that done, 46 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: brought it back in, and they're trying to get me 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: to avoid having to go to the d m V 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: by even calling our state's capital, Sacramento, California. But the 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: d m V wasn't happening. They were gonna make me 50 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: come in because my car from seventy six doesn't have 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: an engine group number. So I go to the d 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: m V and it's not so pleasant. Woman is at 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: the gate and she says, I need your your license 54 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: plate number in your registration, to which I kindly respond, 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: that's what I'm here for. I don't have a license 56 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: plate yet and I'm trying to register the car. She says, 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: all right, well, I need an engine group number along 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: with your vehicle identification number, which we know is the FINN. 59 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: She could have just said, ben. I said, well, this 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: is a seventy six and it doesn't have an engine 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: group number. She says, well, then I'm afraid I can't 62 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: help you right away. Just chooses violence right away. So 63 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: I pull up on my phone that the seventy six 64 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: dots and two eight Z doesn't have an engine group number, 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: and that's actually why I'm here at the d m V. 66 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: So they can write that reasoning in so that the 67 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: California Highway Patrol will approve it and I can get 68 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: my cars registration and actually put a license plate on it. 69 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: I say, well, I'm happy to show you here online. 70 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: She goes, I don't have to look at that. I said, okay, 71 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean you can totally pull it up on your computer. 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: She goes, no, you can get me an engine group number. 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: So now I just have to repeat the same information 74 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: again and say, well, this vehicle in particular doesn't have 75 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: an engine group number, which is why I'm here. She says, well, 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: then I can't help you. So now I'm left with 77 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: I either leave and never get the car registered, or 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: I now go the violence root as well and say 79 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: I need to speak with your supervisor. So she size 80 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: and goes to get this guy. So he comes up 81 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: and I explained the situation to him and he says, yes, 82 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: of course, that car doesn't have an in your group number. 83 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: And we'll just fill out right here that it doesn't 84 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: so that this California how it patrol doesn't give you 85 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: a hard time. And so now I'm dealing with this guy. 86 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: Go did you train her? He said no, I said, 87 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: and I tell him the story. I'll spare you guys 88 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: the complete repeat, but I say, everything that happens. I go, 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: is that how she treats everyone? Or just me? He goes, 90 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: I'll make sure to talk to her. Whether he did 91 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: or not, he probably didn't. He doesn't want to deal 92 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: with it. So I get all the paperwork done. I go, okay, 93 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: can you guys send this to HP? He goes, no, 94 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: you have to go there. What that's why I'm here, man, 95 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: I could have just gone there in the first place. 96 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: What are you talking about. I'm legit here so that 97 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: you guys can contact c HP. This is what Triple 98 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: A spoke to Sacramento about and they said this is 99 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: the correct process, and that's the capital city. They have 100 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: more authority than you do. He says, no, you have 101 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: to go to c HP. So now this drive that 102 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: I made and having to wait in line, which wasn't 103 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: that bad. I don't want to make a sound of 104 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: that bad. There were only three people in front of me. 105 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: But now I have to drive all the way to 106 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: c HP. So now I get in my little sweet 107 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: sweet asscar and I cruised down the freeway. It's about 108 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: a minute drive and uh, the map quest does not 109 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: know where to pull in for this place. It's got 110 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: me going into a closed un lock gate. So I 111 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: got a cruise around the block. But I find it, 112 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: and you, guys, there's no one there. There's and I 113 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: don't mean like no employees, I mean no jerks like me. 114 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Every parking spot is open. I'm like, oh, thank you, 115 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: thank you God. Whatever the Greek god of sweet ass 116 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: cars is, thank you.

So I pull into whatever spot I want, 118 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: the closest one, right in the window, parked the car. 119 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: I gotta lock it manually with the key, because the 120 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: only thing power on this thing is that antenna that 121 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: goes up and down. Everything else is old school, to 122 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: say the least. I walk in. There's no one there 123 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: except this officer who's behind glass and has a gun 124 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: on her hip, shaved head and braids, looking pretty sick 125 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: and cool. I'm like, all right, she's looking sick and cool. 126 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: This would be pretty easy. So I go in. I 127 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: have all my paperwork ready. I say, yeah, I'm here 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: for you guys to check the fin number and confirm 129 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: that there's no engine group number so I can get 130 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: my my registration.

She goes yes. 138 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: So now there's this awkward pause where I'm I don't 139 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: want to laugh, but I'm definitely smiling. I have a 140 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: mask on, okay, because California is still pretty hardcore about that, 141 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: So I'm smiling. I go, well, if you're here now 142 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: and I'm here now, we could just go do it 143 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: right now and it'll take all of two minutes.

I go, all right, that 150 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: seems weird. I mean, you can literally see my car 151 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: out the window. There's other employees here, so if you 152 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: leave your desk, they can cover it and we we 153 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: could just take care of it right now.

And she kind of like 159 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: pauses and double checks. And I've seen this look before. 160 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: That's when somebody figures out they saw me in Scooby 161 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Doo or she's all that or some ship like that. 162 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: And uh, I have a mask on again, so she 163 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: couldn't she you know, she couldn't recognize me without that 164 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: or with that on. And so now she goes, this 165 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: is the greatest I've never gotten to get over on 166 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: a cop before, so she she checks the driver's license again, 167 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: looks up at me. She goes, can you pull down 168 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: your mask? Yeah? Sure, bluf to pulled out my mask. 169 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: She looks at me, and I see the eyes make recognition. 170 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: She goes, okay, She finishes the paper or hands me 171 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: my my folder back with all my crap, hands me 172 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: my I d back and this woman legit says, would 173 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: it be okay if I took a picture with you, 174 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: to which, of course, my response was absolutely, I'll see 175 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: you on December ten. And I walked out the door, 176 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: cut in my car, and drove away. And it was 177 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: the greatest figurative middle finger that I've ever have been 178 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: able to give the Los Angeles Police Department or in 179 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: this case, the California Highway Patrol. She could not have 180 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: been more difficult or more unpleasant. And to think that 181 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: you could just ask for a photo at the end 182 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: of that, I'm so glad my brain was working that day. 183 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I drank my coffee and had the 184 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: wherewithal to go. Yeah, sure, December ten because the timing 185 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: was perfect and the look on her face she couldn't 186 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: even get mad y'all. She did not have a mask on, 187 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: and she even had to kind of smirk and just 188 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, all right, I gotta take that hit, 189 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: and she had to, and it was great. Let's get 190 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: into some more women. They were beating the crap out 191 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: of each other, and let's get into Survivor series. So 192 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this in order, ladies and gentlemen. First 193 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: up was the women's War Games match, which was the 194 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: good guys or the good girls in this case, Bianca Bellaire, 195 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: the return of Becky Lynch from the shoulder injury. My 196 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: favorite Oscar Alexa Bliss and Mia yim Versus Bailey who 197 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: you know, I love, Dakota Kai, who you know I love. 198 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: Also Eo Sky who you know I love Nicky Cross 199 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: who since they got rid of the superhero gimmick, you know, 200 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: I love, and Rhea Ripley, who Jeff loves even more 201 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: than me because she's like, she looks like she's six 202 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: ft tall. I don't know how tall she is, but 203 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: she looks six ft tall and she looks like she 204 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: can beat up everybody on the roster. War Games is 205 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: an interesting match because there can't be a finish until 206 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: everyone's in the ring, but they release people into the 207 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: ring one at a time, so it's hard to maintain 208 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: tension in a match where there's people fighting and you 209 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: know there can't be a winner. They're just beating the 210 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: crap out of each other. This is a difficult match 211 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: to pull off. It started the show. You can't even 212 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: have a finish in the beginning of it. You can't 213 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: have one until there's ten women in the ring. Basically, 214 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: somehow they pulled this off. They told multiple stories. They 215 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: did callbacks two stories that existed a couple of years ago, 216 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: which w w E never does. They ignore their past, 217 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: They ignore their history. To never allow stories to be 218 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: told in the ring or recall events that happened in 219 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: the ring while you're in the ring has always been 220 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: a very strange thing to me. I don't when I 221 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: worked there, that was the rule. Since I left, that 222 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: was the rule, and I guess once Vince left, Hunter 223 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that rule is gone. I don't agree 224 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: with that rule. That rule suck, And now you can 225 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: make callbacks to this. The one I want to focus on, 226 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: which probably wasn't anyone's most interesting, was Nicky Cross and 227 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss because they used to be a tag team 228 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: when Nikki had the superhero gimmick, and they were trying 229 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: to get her some experience and get her a good rub, 230 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: so they put her in a partnership with Alexa Bliss. 231 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: Bliss wasn't had already kind of had herchampionship run, and 232 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: so they demand that, you know, she helps get other 233 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: people over at that point. So now Nikky grabs handcuffs 234 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: in the middle of this match. It's no d Q. 235 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: They were throwing Kendle sticks in their tables, ladders and chairs, 236 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: oh my everything, and she cuffs Alexa Bliss. The other 237 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: cuff isn't done yet. She's gonna put that one on 238 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: the cage and just beat the crap out of Alexei. 239 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: And she says, you think I forgot, You think I forgot? 240 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: And it was that small, It was that small of 241 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: a moment, But it's a moment because that kind of 242 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: that should let the fans who sort of know the business, 243 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: which I think too many of us know the business now, 244 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: and it's made wrestling far less magical than it than 245 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: it used to be. But for those who did know, 246 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: I guarantee you we all appreciate it because to allow 247 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: a wrestler to make a call back like that when 248 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to normally. Little moments like this are 249 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: important because it doesn't only give a wrinkle into the 250 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: characters of these wrestlers, but it gives them reasons to fight, 251 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: and a reason to fight is what makes wrestling interesting. 252 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to have the best promo work, you 253 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: don't have to have the greatest storyline, the greatest character. 254 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: You just have to have a reason why you're going 255 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: to hurt this other person outside of I want to win, 256 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: because that only works so many times there So when 257 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: there's a personal issue, it adds that wrinkled that I 258 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: think everyone can appreciate. Eventually, the good guys win. Becky 259 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: Lynch climbs up to the top, jumps off, and uh 260 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: and gets the wind. However, there was a lot of 261 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: good stuff in this man Io Sky went up to 262 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: the top did a backflip, a blind backflip. She never 263 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: looked back to see if anyone was there to catch her. 264 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: Just hey, here we go. Wow. So anyway, the good 265 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: guys win. Everybody's feeling good as the match starts, and 266 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: now we move on to Finn Balor versus aj styles 267 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: which is more sort of in the middle. For me, 268 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: this felt like a match that could have just been 269 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: on Monday and Ira, I don't know what w w 270 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: e's do it. I don't know if they are pumping 271 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: in crowd noise on live shows. And and I heard 272 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: they muted like Sasha Banks chance during the first match, 273 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: which if they did, it's not a shame on you moment, 274 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: but like who cares, Like why do you have to 275 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: have that much control over what people here? Like, just 276 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: just present it honestly and organically and let people be 277 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: excited about Sasha Banks. We all know you're gonna resign her, 278 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: You're not gonna let her walk, You're gonna pay her 279 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: what she wants, So just let these moments happen. It 280 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: happened on SmackDown as well, where I'm not seeing the 281 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: crowd cheering like they're watching right, but they're not that hype, 282 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: and I'm hearing like loud pops that just aren't there, 283 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: so I think they're I think they're pumping in fake 284 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: crowd noise, which is just beneath you. Guys. You're the 285 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: top show. You're the top show, the highest rated wrestling 286 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: show in the world of of sports entertainment or professional 287 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: wrestling or whatever you liked to to find it. But 288 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: this match in the middle was kind of there. Weren't 289 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: all the spots that you like to see from either 290 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: one of these guys. But it was a good match. 291 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't bad or boring or anything. I 292 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: just felt like I've seen it and it could have 293 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: just been on a Monday Night Raw. It didn't have to, 294 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: it didn't have to take up a spot, but yeah, 295 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: it was. It was fine. It just didn't didn't blow 296 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: me away. Now we're gonna get into the worst of 297 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: the week, and this one. I was texting with my 298 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: producer Alexis. It was the champion, Rhonda Rousey versus Shotsy 299 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: black Heart, and I'll spoil it now rounda Rousey one. 300 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: This was the single worst match I have seen and 301 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how long. And it was not Shotsy 302 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: black Heart's fault. Shots He did her thing in this. 303 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: And you can say what you want about her. I mean, 304 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: I know she's had a couple of spots that that 305 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: she's blown on Friday Night smack Down over the last 306 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: couple of months, but overall her works pretty clean. She 307 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: carried Ronda through this whole match. She did everything a 308 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: wrestler can do to make the other wrestler look good, 309 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: But it takes two to tango. And this is to 310 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: pay per views in a row where Ronda. Ronda didn't 311 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: show up and she was worse in this match than 312 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: she was against Live Morgan, and she was not good 313 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: in that match. This was borderline unwatchable it. I don't 314 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: know what a people's reactions were, but they could not 315 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: have been positive. I've never seen someone look like ay, 316 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: they didn't care and be like they don't. I don't 317 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: know if she's is she not practicing, Is she not 318 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: required to go and work on her skills and develop 319 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: because she is, and I'm not talking about shots, Rhonda 320 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: is regressing. She is not progressing. Her work is not 321 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: getting better, it's getting worse. She blew a d d 322 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: T that should have been the spot of the frigging 323 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: night Shots. He goes up onto the top rope. The 324 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: top rope Rhonda barely gave her the support spot like shots. 325 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: He was almost just having to balance solo like a 326 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: damn luchador. And then she's coming off the top rope 327 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: to do a d d T on the apron where 328 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: Rhonda's head would hit the apron and Shots lands on 329 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: the outside, and Rhonda just held onto the top rope 330 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: and didn't let herself fall, which gave Shots even a 331 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: further distance to fall from the top rope all the 332 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: way to the mats outside the ring. It could have 333 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: blasted out both her knees or an ankle or anything. 334 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: It looked unsafe on Rhonda's part, and the no cell 335 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: on it was I don't even know if you call 336 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: it a nose. It just looked like she didn't know 337 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: what she was doing. And it wasn't just on defense 338 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: on moves that she's gonna take. When Shots came off 339 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: the top rope and Round is supposed to catch her 340 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: and do that belly to belly supplex that looked like crap. 341 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: The move in the ropes. I mean, everything she did 342 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: in this match looked terrible and I don't know how, 343 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: like there are people there that will work with her. 344 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: So she's either not taking the time to work with 345 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: people because she her ego just is saying I don't 346 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: need to do that, I'm super famous and whatever, or 347 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: she can't do it. And if it's the latter, which 348 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: means she can't do it, then why is she there? 349 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's that. She's obviously athletic. She 350 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: was a damn UFC women's champion. She's a judoka freaking master. 351 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: Her trainer was Gene LaBelle rest in Peace. She's an athlete, 352 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: so it look, I don't know, but it has to 353 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: be that she's just not putting in the work. It 354 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: has to be that this was a horrible match. It 355 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: was legit unwatchable and it had moments that should have 356 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: stolen the damn show. Listen. She's never gonna be good 357 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: on promos, all right, that's just not within her. She 358 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to act at all. There's a reason 359 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: that they've limited her to thirty to forty five seconds 360 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: in backstage segments where her promos get cut off because 361 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: she doesn't want to talk to the crowd, or they 362 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: let Shana Basler do all the talking and and Rohnda 363 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: does something else because she can't talk. If you can't 364 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: talk or work, what are you doing? You're just taking 365 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: the check. If that's the case, that's where a shame 366 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: on you should be applied because that's just whack and lame. 367 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: Look at all the other outside people lately that have 368 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: been busting their ask to look great. You can work 369 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: on days off. She doesn't have to work the same 370 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: kind of schedule that these other wrestlers have to do. 371 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: Male or female. There are old school legends that will 372 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: come in and help you out and help you develop techniques, 373 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: help you design matches, help you understand ring psychology. G 374 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: I hated this match. It is what it is. But 375 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: now we're gonna get onto a good match, which was 376 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: the US title. It was Seth Rollins the US champion, 377 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: Bobby Lashly, the former champion, and Austin Theory, the man 378 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: with the failed cash in on the U S type. 379 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: And let me say a couple of things. First. First 380 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: of all, God bless Seth Rollins. He made this match. 381 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: He had spots in this that we'll talk about that 382 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: we're unreal. I hate his hair so much, but I'm 383 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: supposed to because otherwise I'd be cheering for him, and 384 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: I don't think he wants me to cheer for him. 385 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: I think he did it on purpose, just because he 386 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: knows I would hate his hair. I think he got extensions, 387 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: which makes me even angrier because I don't think any 388 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: man's hair can grow that fast. But good God, do 389 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: I hate it and bless you for being one of 390 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: the greatest wrestlers in the world, dude. And another thing, 391 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: I was critical of Boston Theory a couple of weeks 392 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: ago because I saw him reading off two cards to 393 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: Monday Night Rosigo. It was kind of half read and 394 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: half memorized. The memorized part was with Dolf. The other 395 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: part was whereas he was looking off camera, he's a 396 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: percent reading off few cards. He had a a promo 397 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: on Monday Night Raw that was completely memorized. He did 398 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: not look at a qute card once. And this boy 399 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: killed it, I mean killed it. He talked about this 400 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: kid you guys talk about this ungrateful kid that takes 401 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: selfies and is unworthy. That kid is dead and he's 402 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: a man now, and I believed it, like he did 403 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: a great job. A few months ago, I was talking 404 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: about how you could really see Austin developing and it 405 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: was nice. And I hate the fact that they have 406 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: to learn on live television because I didn't think he 407 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: was ready, but you could see his skills developing. And 408 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: then when Vince left, you really saw him regress and 409 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: you saw him suffer and a lot of that had 410 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: to be because he knew that he wasn't gonna be champed, 411 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: like someone told him, like, yo, man, you're gonna cash in, 412 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: but it ain't going to be successful. And that messes 413 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: with your head when you're a young artist. It messes 414 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: with your ego, It messes with your ability to be 415 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: to be good. Um, you know when I did, I 416 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: know you did last summer. I was not the director's 417 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: first choice. I was the studio's choice. And the director 418 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: of that film I don't remember his name, Jim something. 419 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: I think I deleted it because it's such a horrible memory. 420 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: He let me know every day that he did not 421 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: want me in that movie. He did not think I 422 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: deserve to be in that movie. I mean every day, 423 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: this guy just made me feel like dogshit. And shout 424 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: out to Ryan Philippi and Sarah for being for being 425 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: so cool. But Ryan mainly would come up to me 426 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: and be like, yo, man, remember why you booked this role. 427 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: You auditioned for this son of a bitch five times. 428 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: You didn't book it because you sucked. You booked it 429 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: because you deserve it. So screw this guy. Do your thing. 430 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Don't take a single note from him, just say yeah, 431 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: a good note and do whatever you want. Screw this 432 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: and he was what really, the only the only reason 433 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: I made it through that film without beating the hell 434 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: out of that guy was because of riots. And it's 435 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: not like Ryan and I are friends. I haven't spoken 436 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: to him in twenty years, but respect, we're respect is due. 437 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: He helped me get through what was a tough time. 438 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know who helped Austin. I don't know 439 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: if he had to get through this alone. I don't 440 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: know if someone had his back. But that promo he cut, 441 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: which was to go home to this pay per view match, 442 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: was freaking gold, absolute gold. So shout out to him 443 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: for pulling through what had to have been the hardest 444 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 1: part in his entire career, Harder than than making it 445 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: harder than getting called up when you're considered the man 446 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: and then it's all taken from you. That has to 447 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: that has to hurt, so so respect to this kid. 448 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: So here's the match. And I said this before, Rollins 449 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: was just phenomenal. I mean phenomenal. But he hit a 450 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: stomp by jumping off of Austin theories back and his 451 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: foot then lands on Bobby's head and smashes it into 452 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: the mat. It looked amazing. There's another spot where uh, 453 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: he was about to lose. It's a triple threat and 454 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: there was a pin and he jumps off the top 455 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: rope with a frog splash, blam, lands right on dude's back, 456 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: breaks up the pin. You couldn't even see it the 457 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: way they shot it, which was beauty. That was a 458 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: shout out to the seat when they get it right. 459 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: When when the camera truck gets it right, we say 460 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: they got it right. You couldn't even see him setting up. 461 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: The in house crowd could and the Boston ted Garden, 462 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: by the way, that was a hot crowd. You guys 463 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: were a hot crowd. I really had a good time 464 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: with this match, and I felt the right guy one. 465 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: Some of you who listen aren't even wrestling fans, which 466 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: is crazy, but watch this guy. He's handsome, team handsome 467 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: all day long. He's got the body of a Greek 468 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: god like Jade. Cargill looks at Austin Theory and it's 469 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: like Jesus God, I wish I looked like that.

He's their real life younger brother and Sammy Zane, 491 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: and he was taking on his best friend in the 492 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: whole wide world in real life as well Kevin Owens Uh. 493 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: They're both from Montreal, Quebec. Kind of Drew McIntyre who's 494 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: sort of the outsider of this, although Kevin is as 495 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: well Shamus, butch and Ridge Holland, You guys know, I 496 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: love Rich Holland. I think eventually he'll have a solid 497 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: solo career. It wasn't my match of the week. I 498 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: thought the women out did the men in this because 499 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: they could really only tell one and a half stories 500 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: in this match, based on the lack of having a 501 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: grievance with with Shamus his squad. But Sammy Zane can 502 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: tell any story you guys want him to tell. He 503 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: could read you Harry Potter and you would be entertained. 504 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: He could read you Dr Seuss, you would be entertained. 505 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: Or he can go in the ring and take the 506 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: beating of his life and shout the beating of his 507 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: life and you would be just as entertained. This match 508 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: was not dominated by the good guys being Shamus and then, 509 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: but they made you believe to a certain extent that 510 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: they were going to win this match, or at least 511 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: that there was a pretty solid shot. I will say this. 512 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: The spot of this match was they do this ten 513 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: Beats of the Bowery, which is Shamus his move, and 514 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: he like ties a guy up in the ropes from 515 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: outside the ring, and Shamus is still inside the ring 516 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: and the guy's back is to him, so he's facing 517 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: the crowd, so the crowd gets to see this beat down. 518 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: And then he takes these four arms shots and he 519 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: just smashes him across his opponent's chest, and the crowd goes, 520 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: what three? And he's done twenty before he did twenty 521 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: two Dominic Mysterio the other week. But yeah, so they 522 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: did a five man ten Beats of the Bowery where 523 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: all five bad guys are in there and there's blah 524 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: blah bla. They're just beating these dudes chests, and you 525 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: know it hurts because when Shamus does his broke kick 526 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: and he hits his own chest, he ain't hitting it 527 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: his hard when he hits somebody else, which is awesome. 528 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: If you want to compare the two, please do it online. 529 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: It's super funny. He never hits himself as hard as 530 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: he hits the other guy, So that was probably the 531 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: spot of the spot of the night. However, as far 532 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: as telling a story goes, that's all. Sammy Zane Roman 533 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: Reins takes a stunner from Kevin Owens, which was formerly 534 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: owned by Stone Cold Steve Austin. That was his finisher, 535 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: Kevin has it now Sammy rips or doesn't rip the 536 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: ref off. He grabs the referees arm from counting to 537 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: three and saves the match because he's sammy 'sane. The 538 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: moment that everybody thought would be the turn for Sammy 539 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: Zane was him and Kevin Owens being face to face. 540 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: This is his best friend in real life and in 541 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: the storylines of w w E. This is his best 542 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: friend in w w E. And they have a moment 543 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: where it's time for them to fight or is he 544 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: gonna turn on the bloodline who are not good to him? 545 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: Right there, they're consistently tougher on him than they are 546 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: good to him. They consistently give him the spike shut up, 547 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: and they smacked the little dog then going hey, little dog, 548 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: good job. By the way, I never knew the name 549 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: of the other dog, only Spike. I never knew the 550 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: name of the little one. We're gonna call him Sammy 551 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: from now on. We don't know what's gonna happen. Is 552 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: he gonna turn on the Bloodline and be with his 553 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: friend again, because Kevin's told him, like, Yo, man, you 554 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: deserve better than this. You should have turned on them 555 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: a long time ago. You're my friend. What's going on? Like? 556 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: They've had multiple conversations on TV coming up to this 557 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: over actually a couple of months, even before Kevin Owns 558 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: was off TV for a while. Their face to face 559 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: and here's the moment of truth and Sammy kicks him 560 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: dead in the balls, I mean dead in the nuts, 561 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: and then hits him with his helloover kick, the hell 562 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: of a kick, and allows Jay, the guy who's hated 563 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: him this whole story, the guy who even super kicked 564 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: him by accident? Is it on accident or by ack? Today? 565 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: I think it's by accident. Do we have any English 566 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 1: majors that are wrestling fans? Let me know. He allows 567 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: him the opportunity to finish the match with the awesome 568 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: USO frog splash, Bye Bye. One to three. All the 569 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: Bloodline wins, and Sammy's the reason why because as we 570 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: all know, Zane means glue in Syrian or French, Jevor 571 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: Trevor when you prefer, and he is the glue. He 572 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: is the best thing in the w w E. Man. 573 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: Everything this guy does is freaking gold. And it's not 574 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: an indictment on Vince, but it is telling because of 575 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: his body type and his look. He's so not what 576 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: Vince McMahon would push as a top shelf talent. To 577 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: see him get just one opportunity, just one opportunity to 578 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: get over and to become the single most over wrestler 579 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: outside of m JF in professional wrestlings, most certainly in 580 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: the w w E. Again, it's not an indictment, but 581 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: it is telling because if you give these wrestlers who 582 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: aren't always the biggest guy, they're not always the most 583 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: handsome of handsome, Like not everybody's freaking Clark Gable, but 584 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: there's great actors out there, Like that'd be like saying 585 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: it's like saying, yes, Steve Bushemy and Paul Giamati don't 586 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: get to ever be in a movie because they don't 587 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: look like George Clooney and Harrison Ford, Like that's just insane, 588 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: that's absolutely insane. You can be a punching bag and 589 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: still get wins and losses and be the single most over. 590 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: They like to use the term superstar in the company, 591 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: but I prefer the term professional wrestler. And that's what 592 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 1: Sammy's aane is. Man. I know, I blow smoke at 593 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: this guy every single week, and I've called him Morlon 594 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: Brando and things like that, but he is he's He 595 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: is that for wrestling, for what wrestling is. He doesn't 596 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: look like Richard Gear and I shouldn't say Steve Bousche. 597 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: He's better looking than Steve Bushey. But you know what 598 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean. I love this dude. I think he's great, 599 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: and now would honestly be the perfect time for them 600 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: to turn on him after he's completely earned their respect. 601 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: When it comes to these guys, I'm not worried. I 602 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: don't feel they have to have tension every week because 603 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: the storytelling that that the whole group is doing from Solo. 604 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: They protect Solo. They're giving him experience. They're not putting 605 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: the weight of an entire promo or segment on his 606 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: shoulders because he's new. Um, They're allowing him to develop. 607 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: They give Jimmy the right amount of stuff, keeping him positive, 608 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: trying to hold things together. They allow Ja to be 609 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: the squeaky wheel, so to speak, the one that's gonna 610 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: constantly remind you, hey man, I'm rusty over here, I'm 611 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: squeaky over here, give me some oil. Screw this guy. 612 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: They allow Sammy to be deceitful and loyal all at 613 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: the same time, and they allow Roman to see through it. 614 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: He sees through the bs and he laughs and he 615 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: chuckles because he knows he can beat up Sammy, so 616 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: they can stretch us out as long as they want. However, 617 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: it would be kind of crazy if, now that he's 618 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: finally earned it, they turned him out and beat his ass, 619 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: because then we'd love Sammy even more. I don't know 620 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: where Jeff Die is performing this weekend, but check him 621 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: out at jeff die dot com if he's if he's healthy, 622 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: he'll be there. He's one of my favorite comics. He's 623 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: super funny. He has anything but politically correct, but there's 624 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: no malice in this man's heart. So remember they're all jokes, 625 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: and remember to give comics a little more latitude than 626 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: you give schmucks like me. I'm completely okay with that, 627 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: so thank you all for listening. Appreciate you all, and 628 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: I haven't said this in a long time, but welcome 629 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: to the Federation.
