Speaker 1: Now your maybe mins introducing the hosts are Wrestling with Freddy.
Speaker 1: Jeff died soon yea, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a
Speaker 1: brand new episode of Wrestling with Bretty also known as
Speaker 1: Wrestling with Friends. The world's greatest co host, Jeff d
Speaker 1: has been given food poisoning by the evil and cruel
Speaker 1: people of Calgary, Canada. Other than that, let's start the show.
Speaker 1: Good ay ning, and good day. What's up everybody. Jeff
Speaker 1: can't be with us today, please send him your best wishes.
Speaker 1: Scott food poisoning. He ate that Canadian food and it
Speaker 1: got him outside of Vancouver. In Toronto, I don't know
Speaker 1: if your cuisine can be trusted. Those are also the
Speaker 1: only two cities that I've ever eaten in in Vancouver,
Speaker 1: and I've never gotten sick, So maybe Jeff's just soft.
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna get into w w WE Survivor series
Speaker 1: war games. In the Year of two. There was some good,
Speaker 1: there was some awful, and there was a little bit
Speaker 1: in between. But before we do that, I hope all
Speaker 1: of you had a very happy Thanksgiving. For those in America,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, guys a funny as story that
Speaker 1: happened on Wednesday. Last Wednesday, when our last episode came out,
Speaker 1: I got a new car. As some of you may know,
Speaker 1: I got a seventy six dots and two eight e z.
Speaker 1: It's just as old as me. It runs about as
Speaker 1: as well as I do, which is pretty damn good.
Speaker 1: But registering old cars, especially once from out of state,
Speaker 1: is a pain in the ass. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: share with you guys funny story. So if you're a
Speaker 1: member of Triple A, which I am, God bless you
Speaker 1: Triple A, they do try to make your life easier,
Speaker 1: and I recommend using them when registering your car or
Speaker 1: renewing your insurance or anything like that, because they try
Speaker 1: and do all the work for you just to make
Speaker 1: your life easier. I love It's mainly women at the
Speaker 1: one I go to. I love these women so much,
Speaker 1: and they did everything they could to help make this
Speaker 1: an easier process for me. I'm getting all my paperwork done,
Speaker 1: I have to get the car smog checked and it
Speaker 1: has to be star smog check because it's an older vehicle.
Speaker 1: They made sure I knew that. They gave me options
Speaker 1: of places close by that specialized in that because they're
Speaker 1: great and I did. And the guys actually both guys
Speaker 1: used to have Nissan Dots and two eighties, one guy
Speaker 1: to to Fort the other guy to two eighties. So
Speaker 1: they were just loving the car right, and the cars
Speaker 1: running great, the engine smooth, and uh, got that done,
Speaker 1: brought it back in, and they're trying to get me
Speaker 1: to avoid having to go to the d m V
Speaker 1: by even calling our state's capital, Sacramento, California. But the
Speaker 1: d m V wasn't happening. They were gonna make me
Speaker 1: come in because my car from seventy six doesn't have
Speaker 1: an engine group number. So I go to the d
Speaker 1: m V and it's not so pleasant. Woman is at
Speaker 1: the gate and she says, I need your your license
Speaker 1: plate number in your registration, to which I kindly respond,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm here for. I don't have a license
Speaker 1: plate yet and I'm trying to register the car. She says,
Speaker 1: all right, well, I need an engine group number along
Speaker 1: with your vehicle identification number, which we know is the FINN.
Speaker 1: She could have just said, ben. I said, well, this
Speaker 1: is a seventy six and it doesn't have an engine
Speaker 1: group number. She says, well, then I'm afraid I can't
Speaker 1: help you right away. Just chooses violence right away. So
Speaker 1: I pull up on my phone that the seventy six
Speaker 1: dots and two eight Z doesn't have an engine group number,
Speaker 1: and that's actually why I'm here at the d m V.
Speaker 1: So they can write that reasoning in so that the
Speaker 1: California Highway Patrol will approve it and I can get
Speaker 1: my cars registration and actually put a license plate on it.
Speaker 1: I say, well, I'm happy to show you here online.
Speaker 1: She goes, I don't have to look at that. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean you can totally pull it up on your computer.
Speaker 1: She goes, no, you can get me an engine group number.
Speaker 1: So now I just have to repeat the same information
Speaker 1: again and say, well, this vehicle in particular doesn't have
Speaker 1: an engine group number, which is why I'm here. She says, well,
Speaker 1: then I can't help you. So now I'm left with
Speaker 1: I either leave and never get the car registered, or
Speaker 1: I now go the violence root as well and say
Speaker 1: I need to speak with your supervisor. So she size
Speaker 1: and goes to get this guy. So he comes up
Speaker 1: and I explained the situation to him and he says, yes,
Speaker 1: of course, that car doesn't have an in your group number.
Speaker 1: And we'll just fill out right here that it doesn't
Speaker 1: so that this California how it patrol doesn't give you
Speaker 1: a hard time. And so now I'm dealing with this guy.
Speaker 1: Go did you train her? He said no, I said,
Speaker 1: and I tell him the story. I'll spare you guys
Speaker 1: the complete repeat, but I say, everything that happens. I go,
Speaker 1: is that how she treats everyone? Or just me? He goes,
Speaker 1: I'll make sure to talk to her. Whether he did
Speaker 1: or not, he probably didn't. He doesn't want to deal
Speaker 1: with it. So I get all the paperwork done. I go, okay,
Speaker 1: can you guys send this to HP? He goes, no,
Speaker 1: you have to go there. What that's why I'm here, man,
Speaker 1: I could have just gone there in the first place.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about. I'm legit here so that
Speaker 1: you guys can contact c HP. This is what Triple
Speaker 1: A spoke to Sacramento about and they said this is
Speaker 1: the correct process, and that's the capital city. They have
Speaker 1: more authority than you do. He says, no, you have
Speaker 1: to go to c HP. So now this drive that
Speaker 1: I made and having to wait in line, which wasn't
Speaker 1: that bad. I don't want to make a sound of
Speaker 1: that bad. There were only three people in front of me.
Speaker 1: But now I have to drive all the way to
Speaker 1: c HP. So now I get in my little sweet
Speaker 1: sweet asscar and I cruised down the freeway. It's about
Speaker 1: a minute drive and uh, the map quest does not
Speaker 1: know where to pull in for this place. It's got
Speaker 1: me going into a closed un lock gate. So I
Speaker 1: got a cruise around the block. But I find it,
Speaker 1: and you, guys, there's no one there. There's and I
Speaker 1: don't mean like no employees, I mean no jerks like me.
Speaker 1: Every parking spot is open. I'm like, oh, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you God. Whatever the Greek god of sweet ass
Speaker 1: cars is, thank you. It's not Apollo, but it's one
Speaker 1: of those guys. So I pull into whatever spot I want,
Speaker 1: the closest one, right in the window, parked the car.
Speaker 1: I gotta lock it manually with the key, because the
Speaker 1: only thing power on this thing is that antenna that
Speaker 1: goes up and down. Everything else is old school, to
Speaker 1: say the least. I walk in. There's no one there
Speaker 1: except this officer who's behind glass and has a gun
Speaker 1: on her hip, shaved head and braids, looking pretty sick
Speaker 1: and cool. I'm like, all right, she's looking sick and cool.
Speaker 1: This would be pretty easy. So I go in. I
Speaker 1: have all my paperwork ready. I say, yeah, I'm here
Speaker 1: for you guys to check the fin number and confirm
Speaker 1: that there's no engine group number so I can get
Speaker 1: my my registration. She says, okay, how man your paperwork
Speaker 1: takes The paperwork goes through it. She says, okay. The
Speaker 1: first appointment I have for you, I'm gonna throw out
Speaker 1: a fake date because I don't want anybody trying to
Speaker 1: meet me. There is December at ten am. I go,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what She goes, yeah, first available appointments December
Speaker 1: ten at ten am. I go, well, who does who
Speaker 1: does the check? Do you do it? She goes yes.
Speaker 1: So now there's this awkward pause where I'm I don't
Speaker 1: want to laugh, but I'm definitely smiling. I have a
Speaker 1: mask on, okay, because California is still pretty hardcore about that,
Speaker 1: So I'm smiling. I go, well, if you're here now
Speaker 1: and I'm here now, we could just go do it
Speaker 1: right now and it'll take all of two minutes. Two
Speaker 1: minutes stops. She says, December tenth, sir. I go, okay, well,
Speaker 1: can you at least explain to me, you know why.
Speaker 1: She says, I don't have to do that. I go, now,
Speaker 1: I'm laughing. I go, okay, I can't. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: yell and scream at a police officer, right, but I
Speaker 1: will laugh. So I'm laughing. I go, all right, that
Speaker 1: seems weird. I mean, you can literally see my car
Speaker 1: out the window. There's other employees here, so if you
Speaker 1: leave your desk, they can cover it and we we
Speaker 1: could just take care of it right now. Or she goes,
Speaker 1: December tenth. I go, okay, December ten. She goes, I
Speaker 1: need your driver's license, Like, all right, hander my driver's license.
Speaker 1: She's filling out the rest of the paperwork. She looks
Speaker 1: at the photo on the I D. She checks the
Speaker 1: name on the I D. And she kind of like
Speaker 1: pauses and double checks. And I've seen this look before.
Speaker 1: That's when somebody figures out they saw me in Scooby
Speaker 1: Doo or she's all that or some ship like that.
Speaker 1: And uh, I have a mask on again, so she
Speaker 1: couldn't she you know, she couldn't recognize me without that
Speaker 1: or with that on. And so now she goes, this
Speaker 1: is the greatest I've never gotten to get over on
Speaker 1: a cop before, so she she checks the driver's license again,
Speaker 1: looks up at me. She goes, can you pull down
Speaker 1: your mask? Yeah? Sure, bluf to pulled out my mask.
Speaker 1: She looks at me, and I see the eyes make recognition.
Speaker 1: She goes, okay, She finishes the paper or hands me
Speaker 1: my my folder back with all my crap, hands me
Speaker 1: my I d back and this woman legit says, would
Speaker 1: it be okay if I took a picture with you,
Speaker 1: to which, of course, my response was absolutely, I'll see
Speaker 1: you on December ten. And I walked out the door,
Speaker 1: cut in my car, and drove away. And it was
Speaker 1: the greatest figurative middle finger that I've ever have been
Speaker 1: able to give the Los Angeles Police Department or in
Speaker 1: this case, the California Highway Patrol. She could not have
Speaker 1: been more difficult or more unpleasant. And to think that
Speaker 1: you could just ask for a photo at the end
Speaker 1: of that, I'm so glad my brain was working that day.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I drank my coffee and had the
Speaker 1: wherewithal to go. Yeah, sure, December ten because the timing
Speaker 1: was perfect and the look on her face she couldn't
Speaker 1: even get mad y'all. She did not have a mask on,
Speaker 1: and she even had to kind of smirk and just
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, all right, I gotta take that hit,
Speaker 1: and she had to, and it was great. Let's get
Speaker 1: into some more women. They were beating the crap out
Speaker 1: of each other, and let's get into Survivor series. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this in order, ladies and gentlemen. First
Speaker 1: up was the women's War Games match, which was the
Speaker 1: good guys or the good girls in this case, Bianca Bellaire,
Speaker 1: the return of Becky Lynch from the shoulder injury. My
Speaker 1: favorite Oscar Alexa Bliss and Mia yim Versus Bailey who
Speaker 1: you know, I love, Dakota Kai, who you know I love.
Speaker 1: Also Eo Sky who you know I love Nicky Cross
Speaker 1: who since they got rid of the superhero gimmick, you know,
Speaker 1: I love, and Rhea Ripley, who Jeff loves even more
Speaker 1: than me because she's like, she looks like she's six
Speaker 1: ft tall. I don't know how tall she is, but
Speaker 1: she looks six ft tall and she looks like she
Speaker 1: can beat up everybody on the roster. War Games is
Speaker 1: an interesting match because there can't be a finish until
Speaker 1: everyone's in the ring, but they release people into the
Speaker 1: ring one at a time, so it's hard to maintain
Speaker 1: tension in a match where there's people fighting and you
Speaker 1: know there can't be a winner. They're just beating the
Speaker 1: crap out of each other. This is a difficult match
Speaker 1: to pull off. It started the show. You can't even
Speaker 1: have a finish in the beginning of it. You can't
Speaker 1: have one until there's ten women in the ring. Basically,
Speaker 1: somehow they pulled this off. They told multiple stories. They
Speaker 1: did callbacks two stories that existed a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: which w w E never does. They ignore their past,
Speaker 1: They ignore their history. To never allow stories to be
Speaker 1: told in the ring or recall events that happened in
Speaker 1: the ring while you're in the ring has always been
Speaker 1: a very strange thing to me. I don't when I
Speaker 1: worked there, that was the rule. Since I left, that
Speaker 1: was the rule, and I guess once Vince left, Hunter
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that rule is gone. I don't agree
Speaker 1: with that rule. That rule suck, And now you can
Speaker 1: make callbacks to this. The one I want to focus on,
Speaker 1: which probably wasn't anyone's most interesting, was Nicky Cross and
Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss because they used to be a tag team
Speaker 1: when Nikki had the superhero gimmick, and they were trying
Speaker 1: to get her some experience and get her a good rub,
Speaker 1: so they put her in a partnership with Alexa Bliss.
Speaker 1: Bliss wasn't had already kind of had herchampionship run, and
Speaker 1: so they demand that, you know, she helps get other
Speaker 1: people over at that point. So now Nikky grabs handcuffs
Speaker 1: in the middle of this match. It's no d Q.
Speaker 1: They were throwing Kendle sticks in their tables, ladders and chairs,
Speaker 1: oh my everything, and she cuffs Alexa Bliss. The other
Speaker 1: cuff isn't done yet. She's gonna put that one on
Speaker 1: the cage and just beat the crap out of Alexei.
Speaker 1: And she says, you think I forgot, You think I forgot?
Speaker 1: And it was that small, It was that small of
Speaker 1: a moment, But it's a moment because that kind of
Speaker 1: that should let the fans who sort of know the business,
Speaker 1: which I think too many of us know the business now,
Speaker 1: and it's made wrestling far less magical than it than
Speaker 1: it used to be. But for those who did know,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you we all appreciate it because to allow
Speaker 1: a wrestler to make a call back like that when
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to normally. Little moments like this are
Speaker 1: important because it doesn't only give a wrinkle into the
Speaker 1: characters of these wrestlers, but it gives them reasons to fight,
Speaker 1: and a reason to fight is what makes wrestling interesting.
Speaker 1: You don't have to have the best promo work, you
Speaker 1: don't have to have the greatest storyline, the greatest character.
Speaker 1: You just have to have a reason why you're going
Speaker 1: to hurt this other person outside of I want to win,
Speaker 1: because that only works so many times there So when
Speaker 1: there's a personal issue, it adds that wrinkled that I
Speaker 1: think everyone can appreciate. Eventually, the good guys win. Becky
Speaker 1: Lynch climbs up to the top, jumps off, and uh
Speaker 1: and gets the wind. However, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: good stuff in this man Io Sky went up to
Speaker 1: the top did a backflip, a blind backflip. She never
Speaker 1: looked back to see if anyone was there to catch her.
Speaker 1: Just hey, here we go. Wow. So anyway, the good
Speaker 1: guys win. Everybody's feeling good as the match starts, and
Speaker 1: now we move on to Finn Balor versus aj styles
Speaker 1: which is more sort of in the middle. For me,
Speaker 1: this felt like a match that could have just been
Speaker 1: on Monday and Ira, I don't know what w w
Speaker 1: e's do it. I don't know if they are pumping
Speaker 1: in crowd noise on live shows. And and I heard
Speaker 1: they muted like Sasha Banks chance during the first match,
Speaker 1: which if they did, it's not a shame on you moment,
Speaker 1: but like who cares, Like why do you have to
Speaker 1: have that much control over what people here? Like, just
Speaker 1: just present it honestly and organically and let people be
Speaker 1: excited about Sasha Banks. We all know you're gonna resign her,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna let her walk, You're gonna pay her
Speaker 1: what she wants, So just let these moments happen. It
Speaker 1: happened on SmackDown as well, where I'm not seeing the
Speaker 1: crowd cheering like they're watching right, but they're not that hype,
Speaker 1: and I'm hearing like loud pops that just aren't there,
Speaker 1: so I think they're I think they're pumping in fake
Speaker 1: crowd noise, which is just beneath you. Guys. You're the
Speaker 1: top show. You're the top show, the highest rated wrestling
Speaker 1: show in the world of of sports entertainment or professional
Speaker 1: wrestling or whatever you liked to to find it. But
Speaker 1: this match in the middle was kind of there. Weren't
Speaker 1: all the spots that you like to see from either
Speaker 1: one of these guys. But it was a good match.
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't bad or boring or anything. I
Speaker 1: just felt like I've seen it and it could have
Speaker 1: just been on a Monday Night Raw. It didn't have to,
Speaker 1: it didn't have to take up a spot, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was fine. It just didn't didn't blow
Speaker 1: me away. Now we're gonna get into the worst of
Speaker 1: the week, and this one. I was texting with my
Speaker 1: producer Alexis. It was the champion, Rhonda Rousey versus Shotsy
Speaker 1: black Heart, and I'll spoil it now rounda Rousey one.
Speaker 1: This was the single worst match I have seen and
Speaker 1: I don't know how long. And it was not Shotsy
Speaker 1: black Heart's fault. Shots He did her thing in this.
Speaker 1: And you can say what you want about her. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know she's had a couple of spots that that
Speaker 1: she's blown on Friday Night smack Down over the last
Speaker 1: couple of months, but overall her works pretty clean. She
Speaker 1: carried Ronda through this whole match. She did everything a
Speaker 1: wrestler can do to make the other wrestler look good,
Speaker 1: But it takes two to tango. And this is to
Speaker 1: pay per views in a row where Ronda. Ronda didn't
Speaker 1: show up and she was worse in this match than
Speaker 1: she was against Live Morgan, and she was not good
Speaker 1: in that match. This was borderline unwatchable it. I don't
Speaker 1: know what a people's reactions were, but they could not
Speaker 1: have been positive. I've never seen someone look like ay,
Speaker 1: they didn't care and be like they don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know if she's is she not practicing, Is she not
Speaker 1: required to go and work on her skills and develop
Speaker 1: because she is, and I'm not talking about shots, Rhonda
Speaker 1: is regressing. She is not progressing. Her work is not
Speaker 1: getting better, it's getting worse. She blew a d d
Speaker 1: T that should have been the spot of the frigging
Speaker 1: night Shots. He goes up onto the top rope. The
Speaker 1: top rope Rhonda barely gave her the support spot like shots.
Speaker 1: He was almost just having to balance solo like a
Speaker 1: damn luchador. And then she's coming off the top rope
Speaker 1: to do a d d T on the apron where
Speaker 1: Rhonda's head would hit the apron and Shots lands on
Speaker 1: the outside, and Rhonda just held onto the top rope
Speaker 1: and didn't let herself fall, which gave Shots even a
Speaker 1: further distance to fall from the top rope all the
Speaker 1: way to the mats outside the ring. It could have
Speaker 1: blasted out both her knees or an ankle or anything.
Speaker 1: It looked unsafe on Rhonda's part, and the no cell
Speaker 1: on it was I don't even know if you call
Speaker 1: it a nose. It just looked like she didn't know
Speaker 1: what she was doing. And it wasn't just on defense
Speaker 1: on moves that she's gonna take. When Shots came off
Speaker 1: the top rope and Round is supposed to catch her
Speaker 1: and do that belly to belly supplex that looked like crap.
Speaker 1: The move in the ropes. I mean, everything she did
Speaker 1: in this match looked terrible and I don't know how,
Speaker 1: like there are people there that will work with her.
Speaker 1: So she's either not taking the time to work with
Speaker 1: people because she her ego just is saying I don't
Speaker 1: need to do that, I'm super famous and whatever, or
Speaker 1: she can't do it. And if it's the latter, which
Speaker 1: means she can't do it, then why is she there?
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's that. She's obviously athletic. She
Speaker 1: was a damn UFC women's champion. She's a judoka freaking master.
Speaker 1: Her trainer was Gene LaBelle rest in Peace. She's an athlete,
Speaker 1: so it look, I don't know, but it has to
Speaker 1: be that she's just not putting in the work. It
Speaker 1: has to be that this was a horrible match. It
Speaker 1: was legit unwatchable and it had moments that should have
Speaker 1: stolen the damn show. Listen. She's never gonna be good
Speaker 1: on promos, all right, that's just not within her. She
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to act at all. There's a reason
Speaker 1: that they've limited her to thirty to forty five seconds
Speaker 1: in backstage segments where her promos get cut off because
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to talk to the crowd, or they
Speaker 1: let Shana Basler do all the talking and and Rohnda
Speaker 1: does something else because she can't talk. If you can't
Speaker 1: talk or work, what are you doing? You're just taking
Speaker 1: the check. If that's the case, that's where a shame
Speaker 1: on you should be applied because that's just whack and lame.
Speaker 1: Look at all the other outside people lately that have
Speaker 1: been busting their ask to look great. You can work
Speaker 1: on days off. She doesn't have to work the same
Speaker 1: kind of schedule that these other wrestlers have to do.
Speaker 1: Male or female. There are old school legends that will
Speaker 1: come in and help you out and help you develop techniques,
Speaker 1: help you design matches, help you understand ring psychology. G
Speaker 1: I hated this match. It is what it is. But
Speaker 1: now we're gonna get onto a good match, which was
Speaker 1: the US title. It was Seth Rollins the US champion,
Speaker 1: Bobby Lashly, the former champion, and Austin Theory, the man
Speaker 1: with the failed cash in on the U S type.
Speaker 1: And let me say a couple of things. First. First
Speaker 1: of all, God bless Seth Rollins. He made this match.
Speaker 1: He had spots in this that we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: we're unreal. I hate his hair so much, but I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to because otherwise I'd be cheering for him, and
Speaker 1: I don't think he wants me to cheer for him.
Speaker 1: I think he did it on purpose, just because he
Speaker 1: knows I would hate his hair. I think he got extensions,
Speaker 1: which makes me even angrier because I don't think any
Speaker 1: man's hair can grow that fast. But good God, do
Speaker 1: I hate it and bless you for being one of
Speaker 1: the greatest wrestlers in the world, dude. And another thing,
Speaker 1: I was critical of Boston Theory a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago because I saw him reading off two cards to
Speaker 1: Monday Night Rosigo. It was kind of half read and
Speaker 1: half memorized. The memorized part was with Dolf. The other
Speaker 1: part was whereas he was looking off camera, he's a
Speaker 1: percent reading off few cards. He had a a promo
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Raw that was completely memorized. He did
Speaker 1: not look at a qute card once. And this boy
Speaker 1: killed it, I mean killed it. He talked about this
Speaker 1: kid you guys talk about this ungrateful kid that takes
Speaker 1: selfies and is unworthy. That kid is dead and he's
Speaker 1: a man now, and I believed it, like he did
Speaker 1: a great job. A few months ago, I was talking
Speaker 1: about how you could really see Austin developing and it
Speaker 1: was nice. And I hate the fact that they have
Speaker 1: to learn on live television because I didn't think he
Speaker 1: was ready, but you could see his skills developing. And
Speaker 1: then when Vince left, you really saw him regress and
Speaker 1: you saw him suffer and a lot of that had
Speaker 1: to be because he knew that he wasn't gonna be champed,
Speaker 1: like someone told him, like, yo, man, you're gonna cash in,
Speaker 1: but it ain't going to be successful. And that messes
Speaker 1: with your head when you're a young artist. It messes
Speaker 1: with your ego, It messes with your ability to be
Speaker 1: to be good. Um, you know when I did, I
Speaker 1: know you did last summer. I was not the director's
Speaker 1: first choice. I was the studio's choice. And the director
Speaker 1: of that film I don't remember his name, Jim something.
Speaker 1: I think I deleted it because it's such a horrible memory.
Speaker 1: He let me know every day that he did not
Speaker 1: want me in that movie. He did not think I
Speaker 1: deserve to be in that movie. I mean every day,
Speaker 1: this guy just made me feel like dogshit. And shout
Speaker 1: out to Ryan Philippi and Sarah for being for being
Speaker 1: so cool. But Ryan mainly would come up to me
Speaker 1: and be like, yo, man, remember why you booked this role.
Speaker 1: You auditioned for this son of a bitch five times.
Speaker 1: You didn't book it because you sucked. You booked it
Speaker 1: because you deserve it. So screw this guy. Do your thing.
Speaker 1: Don't take a single note from him, just say yeah,
Speaker 1: a good note and do whatever you want. Screw this
Speaker 1: and he was what really, the only the only reason
Speaker 1: I made it through that film without beating the hell
Speaker 1: out of that guy was because of riots. And it's
Speaker 1: not like Ryan and I are friends. I haven't spoken
Speaker 1: to him in twenty years, but respect, we're respect is due.
Speaker 1: He helped me get through what was a tough time.
Speaker 1: And I don't know who helped Austin. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he had to get through this alone. I don't
Speaker 1: know if someone had his back. But that promo he cut,
Speaker 1: which was to go home to this pay per view match,
Speaker 1: was freaking gold, absolute gold. So shout out to him
Speaker 1: for pulling through what had to have been the hardest
Speaker 1: part in his entire career, Harder than than making it
Speaker 1: harder than getting called up when you're considered the man
Speaker 1: and then it's all taken from you. That has to
Speaker 1: that has to hurt, so so respect to this kid.
Speaker 1: So here's the match. And I said this before, Rollins
Speaker 1: was just phenomenal. I mean phenomenal. But he hit a
Speaker 1: stomp by jumping off of Austin theories back and his
Speaker 1: foot then lands on Bobby's head and smashes it into
Speaker 1: the mat. It looked amazing. There's another spot where uh,
Speaker 1: he was about to lose. It's a triple threat and
Speaker 1: there was a pin and he jumps off the top
Speaker 1: rope with a frog splash, blam, lands right on dude's back,
Speaker 1: breaks up the pin. You couldn't even see it the
Speaker 1: way they shot it, which was beauty. That was a
Speaker 1: shout out to the seat when they get it right.
Speaker 1: When when the camera truck gets it right, we say
Speaker 1: they got it right. You couldn't even see him setting up.
Speaker 1: The in house crowd could and the Boston ted Garden,
Speaker 1: by the way, that was a hot crowd. You guys
Speaker 1: were a hot crowd. I really had a good time
Speaker 1: with this match, and I felt the right guy one.
Speaker 1: Some of you who listen aren't even wrestling fans, which
Speaker 1: is crazy, but watch this guy. He's handsome, team handsome
Speaker 1: all day long. He's got the body of a Greek
Speaker 1: god like Jade. Cargill looks at Austin Theory and it's
Speaker 1: like Jesus God, I wish I looked like that. But
Speaker 1: when he's on, he's on, and last week he was on,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him with that sort of
Speaker 1: shit eating grin talking trash in his next promo. I
Speaker 1: record these on Mondays, so it'll be tonight, but you
Speaker 1: guys will hear it on Wednesday, and you'll have already
Speaker 1: seen how he kind of reacted to his win. And
Speaker 1: who's gonna be mad at him. It'll probably be Bobby
Speaker 1: and he'll get a one on one match with Bobby Lashly.
Speaker 1: But Austin, you kicked as man and this was a
Speaker 1: great match, So respect to all three dudes, um involved.
Speaker 1: They told a really cool story and that's gonna take
Speaker 1: us to the end of war Games, which was the
Speaker 1: men's War Games match. The bloodline. You guys know, I
Speaker 1: love me some bloodline, which is Roman reigns the USSO brothers,
Speaker 1: Jimmy and Jay, and Jay has just been like, I'm
Speaker 1: just a great actor in this whole thing. He's been
Speaker 1: the one that's kind of willing to go against Roman,
Speaker 1: willing to hate Sammy. Sammy's aane publicly um and Jimmy's
Speaker 1: more behind him. Jay they've given more to and and
Speaker 1: he's taken full advantage of it. Solo Sokoa, who's the
Speaker 1: new one. He's their real life younger brother and Sammy Zane,
Speaker 1: and he was taking on his best friend in the
Speaker 1: whole wide world in real life as well Kevin Owens Uh.
Speaker 1: They're both from Montreal, Quebec. Kind of Drew McIntyre who's
Speaker 1: sort of the outsider of this, although Kevin is as
Speaker 1: well Shamus, butch and Ridge Holland, You guys know, I
Speaker 1: love Rich Holland. I think eventually he'll have a solid
Speaker 1: solo career. It wasn't my match of the week. I
Speaker 1: thought the women out did the men in this because
Speaker 1: they could really only tell one and a half stories
Speaker 1: in this match, based on the lack of having a
Speaker 1: grievance with with Shamus his squad. But Sammy Zane can
Speaker 1: tell any story you guys want him to tell. He
Speaker 1: could read you Harry Potter and you would be entertained.
Speaker 1: He could read you Dr Seuss, you would be entertained.
Speaker 1: Or he can go in the ring and take the
Speaker 1: beating of his life and shout the beating of his
Speaker 1: life and you would be just as entertained. This match
Speaker 1: was not dominated by the good guys being Shamus and then,
Speaker 1: but they made you believe to a certain extent that
Speaker 1: they were going to win this match, or at least
Speaker 1: that there was a pretty solid shot. I will say this.
Speaker 1: The spot of this match was they do this ten
Speaker 1: Beats of the Bowery, which is Shamus his move, and
Speaker 1: he like ties a guy up in the ropes from
Speaker 1: outside the ring, and Shamus is still inside the ring
Speaker 1: and the guy's back is to him, so he's facing
Speaker 1: the crowd, so the crowd gets to see this beat down.
Speaker 1: And then he takes these four arms shots and he
Speaker 1: just smashes him across his opponent's chest, and the crowd goes,
Speaker 1: what three? And he's done twenty before he did twenty
Speaker 1: two Dominic Mysterio the other week. But yeah, so they
Speaker 1: did a five man ten Beats of the Bowery where
Speaker 1: all five bad guys are in there and there's blah
Speaker 1: blah bla. They're just beating these dudes chests, and you
Speaker 1: know it hurts because when Shamus does his broke kick
Speaker 1: and he hits his own chest, he ain't hitting it
Speaker 1: his hard when he hits somebody else, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: If you want to compare the two, please do it online.
Speaker 1: It's super funny. He never hits himself as hard as
Speaker 1: he hits the other guy, So that was probably the
Speaker 1: spot of the spot of the night. However, as far
Speaker 1: as telling a story goes, that's all. Sammy Zane Roman
Speaker 1: Reins takes a stunner from Kevin Owens, which was formerly
Speaker 1: owned by Stone Cold Steve Austin. That was his finisher,
Speaker 1: Kevin has it now Sammy rips or doesn't rip the
Speaker 1: ref off. He grabs the referees arm from counting to
Speaker 1: three and saves the match because he's sammy 'sane. The
Speaker 1: moment that everybody thought would be the turn for Sammy
Speaker 1: Zane was him and Kevin Owens being face to face.
Speaker 1: This is his best friend in real life and in
Speaker 1: the storylines of w w E. This is his best
Speaker 1: friend in w w E. And they have a moment
Speaker 1: where it's time for them to fight or is he
Speaker 1: gonna turn on the bloodline who are not good to him?
Speaker 1: Right there, they're consistently tougher on him than they are
Speaker 1: good to him. They consistently give him the spike shut up,
Speaker 1: and they smacked the little dog then going hey, little dog,
Speaker 1: good job. By the way, I never knew the name
Speaker 1: of the other dog, only Spike. I never knew the
Speaker 1: name of the little one. We're gonna call him Sammy
Speaker 1: from now on. We don't know what's gonna happen. Is
Speaker 1: he gonna turn on the Bloodline and be with his
Speaker 1: friend again, because Kevin's told him, like, Yo, man, you
Speaker 1: deserve better than this. You should have turned on them
Speaker 1: a long time ago. You're my friend. What's going on? Like?
Speaker 1: They've had multiple conversations on TV coming up to this
Speaker 1: over actually a couple of months, even before Kevin Owns
Speaker 1: was off TV for a while. Their face to face
Speaker 1: and here's the moment of truth and Sammy kicks him
Speaker 1: dead in the balls, I mean dead in the nuts,
Speaker 1: and then hits him with his helloover kick, the hell
Speaker 1: of a kick, and allows Jay, the guy who's hated
Speaker 1: him this whole story, the guy who even super kicked
Speaker 1: him by accident? Is it on accident or by ack? Today?
Speaker 1: I think it's by accident. Do we have any English
Speaker 1: majors that are wrestling fans? Let me know. He allows
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to finish the match with the awesome
Speaker 1: USO frog splash, Bye Bye. One to three. All the
Speaker 1: Bloodline wins, and Sammy's the reason why because as we
Speaker 1: all know, Zane means glue in Syrian or French, Jevor
Speaker 1: Trevor when you prefer, and he is the glue. He
Speaker 1: is the best thing in the w w E. Man.
Speaker 1: Everything this guy does is freaking gold. And it's not
Speaker 1: an indictment on Vince, but it is telling because of
Speaker 1: his body type and his look. He's so not what
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon would push as a top shelf talent. To
Speaker 1: see him get just one opportunity, just one opportunity to
Speaker 1: get over and to become the single most over wrestler
Speaker 1: outside of m JF in professional wrestlings, most certainly in
Speaker 1: the w w E. Again, it's not an indictment, but
Speaker 1: it is telling because if you give these wrestlers who
Speaker 1: aren't always the biggest guy, they're not always the most
Speaker 1: handsome of handsome, Like not everybody's freaking Clark Gable, but
Speaker 1: there's great actors out there, Like that'd be like saying
Speaker 1: it's like saying, yes, Steve Bushemy and Paul Giamati don't
Speaker 1: get to ever be in a movie because they don't
Speaker 1: look like George Clooney and Harrison Ford, Like that's just insane,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely insane. You can be a punching bag and
Speaker 1: still get wins and losses and be the single most over.
Speaker 1: They like to use the term superstar in the company,
Speaker 1: but I prefer the term professional wrestler. And that's what
Speaker 1: Sammy's aane is. Man. I know, I blow smoke at
Speaker 1: this guy every single week, and I've called him Morlon
Speaker 1: Brando and things like that, but he is he's He
Speaker 1: is that for wrestling, for what wrestling is. He doesn't
Speaker 1: look like Richard Gear and I shouldn't say Steve Bousche.
Speaker 1: He's better looking than Steve Bushey. But you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I love this dude. I think he's great,
Speaker 1: and now would honestly be the perfect time for them
Speaker 1: to turn on him after he's completely earned their respect.
Speaker 1: When it comes to these guys, I'm not worried. I
Speaker 1: don't feel they have to have tension every week because
Speaker 1: the storytelling that that the whole group is doing from Solo.
Speaker 1: They protect Solo. They're giving him experience. They're not putting
Speaker 1: the weight of an entire promo or segment on his
Speaker 1: shoulders because he's new. Um, They're allowing him to develop.
Speaker 1: They give Jimmy the right amount of stuff, keeping him positive,
Speaker 1: trying to hold things together. They allow Ja to be
Speaker 1: the squeaky wheel, so to speak, the one that's gonna
Speaker 1: constantly remind you, hey man, I'm rusty over here, I'm
Speaker 1: squeaky over here, give me some oil. Screw this guy.
Speaker 1: They allow Sammy to be deceitful and loyal all at
Speaker 1: the same time, and they allow Roman to see through it.
Speaker 1: He sees through the bs and he laughs and he
Speaker 1: chuckles because he knows he can beat up Sammy, so
Speaker 1: they can stretch us out as long as they want. However,
Speaker 1: it would be kind of crazy if, now that he's
Speaker 1: finally earned it, they turned him out and beat his ass,
Speaker 1: because then we'd love Sammy even more. I don't know
Speaker 1: where Jeff Die is performing this weekend, but check him
Speaker 1: out at jeff die dot com if he's if he's healthy,
Speaker 1: he'll be there. He's one of my favorite comics. He's
Speaker 1: super funny. He has anything but politically correct, but there's
Speaker 1: no malice in this man's heart. So remember they're all jokes,
Speaker 1: and remember to give comics a little more latitude than
Speaker 1: you give schmucks like me. I'm completely okay with that,
Speaker 1: so thank you all for listening. Appreciate you all, and
