00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: do have a special shout out for the show.

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: Yes, my buddy Josh, mister Josh Pruno. What I think

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: we've I think we've talked about before and and you

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 4: met him when we went to the whatever that was

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: Summerslim tour thing.

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: Ye.

34
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's he's kind of inadvertently the one that

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: got me back into wrestling.

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 6: I was.

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: I was at his house writing. He's a country music singer.

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: We were writing songs and he's like, oh, have you

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: heard about the ww network? Like Nope, And then you

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: know ten bucks a month you get all the back

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: pay per views.

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: I was like what.

43
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: And that was probably five years ago, about twenty fourteen,

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: so twenty fifteen whatever was And I think the very

45
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: first I think that actually, I think the day that

46
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 4: I was over there was the day that brock into

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 4: the street. I think it was that WrestleMania we were

48
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 4: hanging out. So so anyways, his kid Levi and his

49
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: friend Rieland Langford, who we also met with his dad Rodney,

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: we met at the Summer Slam tour. They dressed it up,

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: dressed up for Halloween as the Legion of Doom, the

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: Road Warriors, Animal and Hawk, and we have a little

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: video and a picture of that, and we'll try to

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: post that. And uh, they pulled it off. It was incredible,

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: and they did a little they did the like Josh

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: was doing the intro, you know, please welcome to the Ring,

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: you know, and then they did the theme song and

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: then they walked out and it's just awesome. And it's,

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: you know, kind of jealous of kids costumes nowadays, because

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: you know, we had the Ben Cooper stuff, which was

61
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: just a little vinyl mock and a plastic mask.

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 5: Now these things.

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: Are like cosplay like you could be in a movie,

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: like excellent quality, you know. But but they had the

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: shoulder pads and they got like a bald cap and

66
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 4: painted did all the pain.

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 5: I mean, it looks incredible.

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: So we'll post that and hopefully we can tag Animal

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: since we just got to talk to him a couple

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: of weeks ago. I'm sure he'd get a kick out

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: of it as well.

72
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: Oh, when you sent that video to me, I thought

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: that was like the greatest thing in the world. And

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: then that kind of sparked my thought process for next

75
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: year's Halloween. Since I've got two kids, well one will

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: be three and the other will be twelve. So I

77
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: think the three year old I can make him do that.

78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: The thirteen year or the twelve year old, he ain't

79
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: gonna do all that.

80
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, it was just like I would have

81
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 4: loved to address stup like them when I was eight

82
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: or nine years old, you know what I mean, Just ridiculous.

83
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 5: But they did a good job. They nailed it.

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: So let's kind of talk about I guess the elephant

85
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: in the room Crown Jewel. A lot of people kind

86
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: of watched it. A lot of people didn't watch it.

87
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: I kind of had it on as just kind of

88
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: like research purposes at work, just to kind of sit

89
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: there and watch it. It was like background noise, really,

90
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: but I mean it seemed all in all it was okay.

91
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: I didn't The only couple of matches that I watched

92
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: was the Brock and Cane match, which literally lasted less

93
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: than like five minutes, and it was the first match

94
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: on the thing, and like it started off kind of

95
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: like a UFC fight where they were just kind of

96
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: going back and forth trading some stuff, and then all

97
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: of a sudden, at the end of the match. You

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: had Brock make Kane tap out, and I was like,

99
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: you literally brought this guy in to make him tap

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: Like I know that you're you're on the high horse

101
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: of Brock, but why why make Cane tap?

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: I you know, I didn't call it down to the

104
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't know exactly how I was going

105
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: to do, but I definitely knew that Brock was going

106
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: to win. I didn't I didn't foresee him allowing him

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: to come back, especially with how much money they pay

108
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: Rock and you know, the kind of schedule they give

109
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: him and the insistence on giving him the.

110
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: Belt no matter what.

111
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: So you know, I had no reason to think that

112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 4: he was actually you know, and I don't.

113
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 5: I don't think it.

114
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a it was a title match, right,

115
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: It wasn't like a non title match, right, So I mean.

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: Like probably they made it seem like it was a

117
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: title match.

118
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I never saw anything saying it wasn't.

119
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: So I mean that the idea of Caine coming in

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: his very first match in WW and beating Brock for

121
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: the belt just seemed just way too never going to happen,

122
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: you know, So you know, I knew I knew that

123
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: that was going to be the outcome, but uh, you know,

124
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: I kind of was expect more than I think. I

125
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: think it was about a two and a half minute match,

126
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: I think is how long it went.

127
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: And I think I saw somebody put on Twitter. I

128
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: love when you can tweet Brocks match in full on Twitter.

129
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

130
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: So, I mean it's just I mean, it is what

131
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: it is. I mean, I think they thought it was

132
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: a cash grab, and you.

133
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: Know, I don't.

134
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 5: I don't think anything was going to help people watch

135
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 5: that pay per view.

136
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: But no, and then of course at the end, like

137
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: Race starts trying to beat him up with the chair

138
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, we're getting Brock lesnar Ray Mysterio

139
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: two thousand era wrestling storyline again. And then of course

140
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: this will kind of lead into what we'll talk about

141
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: later about Brock and the situation that happened at the

142
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 2: Endcrown duel. But anyways, so Crown, So there was that,

143
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: and then the women's wrestling match was really good. I

144
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: mean just you could just tell that Lacey and Italia

145
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: like it was like a big orteal and like you

146
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: could see the fans getting behind them, like when they

147
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: their music hits. Those fans popped as loud as they

148
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: could for them, and it was a really good match.

149
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: And then there at the end, like at first I

150
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: thought like Lacey was kind of kind of staying character,

151
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: but they like shook hands and did everything at the

152
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: beginning of it, and I was like, oh, this is

153
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: kind of cool, you know, And then at the end,

154
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: just like watching the emotion take over, like it was

155
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: a monumental thing because the last match that happened like

156
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: that was what Sasha like Alexa, Yeah, but it wasn't.

157
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: It wasn't kind of on the stage like you know,

158
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: Natalia and Lacey Evans was. But it was a really

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: good match. The Tyson Fury match though. We'll talk about

160
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: that in a second.

161
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, I was gonna say I think they're they're

162
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: I think they're kind of turning Lacey face and Natalia

163
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: is kind of like the Big show, like she goes face,

164
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: he'll face, he'll face, he'll just it changes weekly, it

165
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: seems like, so you.

166
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: Can never figure out which if you're wanting to boo

167
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: her or cheer.

168
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think they're kind of I don't know

169
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: if they're switching both of them, but it kind of

170
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: seems like Lacey's.

171
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: Which I think, you know, obviously.

172
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: There were some blunders when she went after Becky Lynch,

173
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: but I mean they're kinda they're kind of hoping that

174
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: she kind of has a almost a position up there

175
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: like Charlotte.

176
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 5: You know.

177
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, I see the potential in it.

178
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean as far as like overall, her moves

179
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: are awesome. I mean, she's got a little you know,

180
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: it's just the more she does the work, the more

181
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: the better she's going to get. But I mean she's

182
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: she's good on the mic, she draws heat, so I

183
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 4: definitely think there's a lot of potential there. So but yeah, anyways,

184
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 4: so this whatever boxing match or whatever.

185
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so I kind of started watching then when it happened,

186
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: so Bron came out his brawl whatever, and I don't

187
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: think he got any pyro, So I'm like, okay, cool whatever.

188
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: Bron gets to the he's first, So then all of

189
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 2: a sudden, Tyson Furious music plays and they like give

190
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: him real music, kind of like Ronda Rowsey got and

191
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: I can't remember and I sent you the what he got.

192
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: I can't remember what he came out to, but what

193
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: did he come out to now, I'm like, oh, they

194
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: played the Itchyo thing song for Tyson Fury really and

195
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there watching it and I was like, okay, cool.

196
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: And then he legitimately got main event super Bowl end

197
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: of WrestleMania Pyro, Like the whole stage was going off,

198
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: the top of the arena was going off, like he

199
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: got a crap ton of pyro and Bron didn't get anything.

200
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this dude literally just made fifteen million

201
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: dollars and got like WrestleMania pyro right now. And so

202
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: during the match, like I was like, okay, they're they're

203
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: kind of locking up tussling, and it actually went longer

204
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: than expected. Braun pretty much carried him the entire match.

205
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: But the thing that everybody's laughing about is like there

206
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: was a moment that Tyson Fury was laying on the

207
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: ground and he was like knocked out, and he started

208
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: the rest star accounting and he like set up like

209
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: the Undertaker. But of course the match ended. The match

210
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: ended with a count out of Braun being outside of

211
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: the ring because I think and I looked away for

212
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: this part, but I think like Bron was doing his

213
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: thing where he runs around the ring, and I think

214
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: Tyson maybe either side stepped or did something and Braun

215
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: ran to the stairs, to the wall and knocked himself out.

216
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: So it wasn't like a Tyson hit him with the left,

217
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: hit him with the right and knocked him out kind

218
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: of thing. But I don't know fifteen million dollars for

219
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: that right there?

220
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, man, I mean it's

221
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: just uh.

222
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, see. And that's that baffles everybody. But then the

223
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: match that we all kind of want to talk about,

224
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: and we've talked about it for weeks, is like, you know,

225
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: Bray Watt's on SmackDown, Seth Rams is on Raw. Why

226
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: are they putting them in a falls count anywhere for

227
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: the title match? And I was like this, why do this?

228
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: And we've talked about this before. Why give Bray another

229
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: shot if he's going to be on SmackDown and Seth

230
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: keeps the belt. Now, a lot of people are probably

231
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: gonna tweetus right now and be like, well, you know

232
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: what happened on SmackDown. Well we're gonna get to that

233
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: part of the show, but right now we're just kind

234
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: of talking about Crown Jewel.

235
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that happened after Crown Jewel. So yeah, I I

236
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: you know, I've heard I've heard like things like people

237
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 4: are like, oh, you know, I guess they redeem themselves

238
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: or whatever, and like, well, yeah, but it shouldn't have

239
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: happened in the first place, you know, like they should

240
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 4: have made the right call to begin with. And you know,

241
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: because not only did you you.

242
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: Know, botch pretty much.

243
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: You know, I always joke and say, you know that

244
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: this is a t ball match, you put it on

245
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: the tee and just crush it, you know, I mean,

246
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: there should be no thinking involved. But instead they thought

247
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: and you know, botched it. And not only did it

248
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: piss everyone off and you had people booing on the

249
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: way out and all that stuff, but I mean you

250
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: had people turning against Seth and I mean he's already

251
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: kind of taking it on the chin here the last

252
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: this year, you know, all of twenty nineteen, So the

253
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 4: last thing you needed was your current face of the

254
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 4: company to take more heat, you know. So I don't know,

255
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: so you know, and then it's on top of that,

256
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 4: I guarantee you let people watched this. Then they did

257
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: Helen Sell. Everyone was watching Helen Sell to watch Bray

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: win the title. You know right, So I mean you

259
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 4: didn't really resolve it because I mean half the people

260
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: are a quarter of the people didn't watch it, so

261
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean, good for them, you know.

262
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 4: Then of course, you know, we get to smack Down

263
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: and brought quit and went back to Rawle, which was

264
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 4: weird because I mean I heard I heard that he

265
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: was going to smack Down as soon as, you know,

266
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: like the Tuesday after WrestleMania, after he dropped the belt

267
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: to Seth. So the fact that they've moved him back,

268
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: but I'm sure it has something to do with Paul

269
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 4: Hayman being on raw I'm sure that's part of this decision.

270
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: But I'm sure he didn't want to go to fly

271
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: back and forth between Monday and Thursday.

272
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: No, especially when he's not always on screen. You know,

273
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: he might fly to the show and then Brock just

274
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: does a run in and Paul doesn't do anything. So

275
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: but you know, I think they they basically booked themselves

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: into a corner like they do on a regular basis,

277
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: and they're like, well, this is the only the only

278
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: way we can resolve it, you know.

279
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: So I don't know, We'll see and then do we.

280
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: Want to talk about the train wreck that happened after

281
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 4: the pay.

282
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: Per view, the fact that everybody was I'm doing finger

283
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: quotes stuck. Yeah, let's talk about that. So I wasn't

284
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: paying any attention to social media at all because Friday

285
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: night I was like, well, I'm just gonna DVR SmackDown

286
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: like I normally do. I'll kind of watch it Saturday

287
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: and I'm just going to hang out with the family,

288
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: play a mad and then call it a day. Well

289
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: then I'm scrolling through Twitter and it's like, oh my god,

290
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: this is the greatest SmackDown ever blah blah blah blah blah.

291
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what is happening? So I turn it

292
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: on and so apparently a lot of people's planes got

293
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: stuck in Saudi Arabia, like all the like the big

294
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: name people.

295
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, and this is coming from you know,

296
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: Meltzer and and I think Wade Keller.

297
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: Said some stuff about it.

298
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: So pretty reliable, you know. You can people have their

299
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: opinions on those two guys, but I mean more times

300
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: than not, they're pretty reliable. So evidently they Vince cut

301
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 4: the feet off early in Saudi Arabia. So I don't

302
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: know how much that affected the people there. But he

303
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: cut the stream off early. Evidently there's still owed money

304
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: from either the last Saudi Arabia pay per view or

305
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 4: their last two or whatever it is, and so Vince

306
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: was like, well, we're turning this off early then, and

307
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: so then he you know, today, eybody leave, let's go.

308
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: And there was a handful of people that had private

309
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: jets that would include Vince Brock. I think Hogan and

310
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: Flair had a private jet, which.

311
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: Makes sense, is why Brock opened up SmackDown Friday night.

312
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. So but then you know, unfortunately you have your

313
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: people like Luke Harper and you know, some of the

314
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: B and C level squad who did not and basically

315
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 4: the Prince of Saudi Arabia told them to stop the

316
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: flights and and Vince was already gone at this point,

317
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: so he didn't really know about it. And they were

318
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: kind of I mean literally they were stuck and so

319
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: they had to throw and it's it's so funny how

320
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: how things are turning out really good when they have

321
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: to do these audibles. You know, you go back to

322
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 4: Ali getting hurt and they put in kofe and then boom,

323
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: you have arguably the biggest story of the year. You know,

324
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: same thing with this they have. They got stranded, so

325
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 4: they're like, okay, well let's just throw in some NXT

326
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: guys and we'll you know, plant the seed for the

327
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: Survivor series.

328
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: And that's obviously what happened.

329
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: And you had was it Champa versus miss and then

330
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 4: you had Daniel Brian versus Adam Cole for the next

331
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: Tea Belt and I think Cole won that clean right,

332
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: Like there wasn't an.

333
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted completely clean. But for a second there

334
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: you thought for a brief second and you're like, oh, crap,

335
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: Like Daniel Brian's about to win the NXT title, which

336
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: I would be okay to send him down to NXT.

337
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not really doing much with him and

338
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: the main roster.

339
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: He's already said that he's down. I mean, he's already

340
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: said he's down to do, you know, go over to.

341
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: Two o five. You know, he's down to go to NXT.

342
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 4: I mean, he just I think he's just one of

343
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 4: those I think he wants to to compete while he

344
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 4: still can compete, you know.

345
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: Right before they say mmm, sorry gotta go, can't play

346
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: no more. Your next messed up. Yeah.

347
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 4: So the good news with all that is that maybe

348
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: the last Saudi Arabia pay per view because of all

349
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: this crap that's going on. And you know, I guess

350
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: if if WB's I mean, the whole point of this

351
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: was they were getting mad a shit ton of money.

352
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 4: So if they're not getting that money and they're still

353
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: owed money, they're not gonna do it. I mean obviously

354
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: they sound like an eight year deal though, right, I.

355
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: Don't know what a deal.

356
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was something they're gonna definitely, it's

357
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: a mainstay kind of a thing. But you know, obviously

358
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 4: Vin's done play around when it comes to money. So

359
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: I mean, if they're doing all this travel, you know,

360
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 4: you have a negative press like Goldberg Undertaker, you know,

361
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: all this train wreck of travel and then all the

362
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 4: scrap and then they still aren't getting paid what they're owed. Nah,

363
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 4: they're going to cut that up. So hopefully that's a

364
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 4: mixed blessing. You know, we had an incredible smack down

365
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 4: and then maybe we'll stop these bullshit Saudi Arabia pay

366
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 4: per views.

367
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course, like we talked about, you know,

368
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: brock Lesner opens up SmackDown, he quits to find Ray Mysterio,

369
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 2: which we get that storyline, and then you saw a

370
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: in the match later in the night. It was Bailey

371
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: versus Nicky Cross for the title, and then all of

372
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: a sudden, Shana Basler just comes up out of nowhere

373
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: and just drills her Queen of Spades, and like Pat

374
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: McAfee was doing commentating, which was awesome, Sammy Zaying was

375
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: out doing a promo or doing something, and Matt Riddle

376
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: and Keith Lee come out and beat the piss out

377
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: of him, which I was thinking, Okay, this is what

378
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: we've been waiting for. We all know we've been wanting

379
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: to see a Brock Matt Riddle face off at least

380
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: tease the fans and let them be there because they're

381
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: both in the building at the same time. And we've

382
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: talked to Matt Riddle and he's made it very vocal

383
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: about wanting Brock Lester, and I was like, there's your opportunity,

384
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: you drop the ball.

385
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, And I mean I'm I guess I'm in

386
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 4: the minority.

387
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 5: I think.

388
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 4: Shana Basler, I mean she's maybe not the best you

389
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: know NXT Women's champ you know, or you know, she

390
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: may not be the best NXT women's superstar they've ever had,

391
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 4: but she's arguably the best champ they've ever had. I mean,

392
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: she's the first person to hold it twice. I mean,

393
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 4: she's like compared to I mean, I'd have to give

394
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 4: her the slight edge over Becky. I mean, compared to

395
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: Becky and compared to Bailey. She's the one that feels

396
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: like a legit threat, Like Becky feels like a legit

397
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: threat in the ring, but Shana looks like she you know,

398
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 4: if two guys were talking shit in a bar, she

399
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: would be the one to like stop it, you know

400
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, like, I legitimately believe her as

401
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 4: a champion, And I'm actually surprised she's actually thirty nine.

402
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 4: Really yeah, I was thinking she was about thirty or

403
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 4: thirty one. So I mean that's not to imply anything.

404
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like I was just shocked at the

405
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 4: it's old she was, and so you know, I think

406
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 4: she still got some years left. Obviously, I think she's

407
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 4: conditions well on trains well and stuff. I just I

408
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 4: wasn't aware that's all she was. But you know, I

409
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: think we're probably gonna see, well, I don't know. With

410
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 4: NXT being an actual brand now, I'm not sure if

411
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 4: she'll move, But I mean there was talk of it

412
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 4: in the summer of moving her up because there's really

413
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: nothing left for her to do an NXT, you know, so.

414
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: Because the plan is eventually to get her and Randa together, right,

415
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: I think is what I've read somewhere online.

416
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: Originally it looked like we were heading to a four

417
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: horse women versus four horsewomen, so the NXT four Horsewomen

418
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: and the UFC four Horsewomen, right, and at that point

419
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: it would have been Randa and Shane on the same team.

420
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't know if it was going

421
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: to be like a singles match, a singles match and

422
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 4: then two tag teams or a tag team match, so

423
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: three matches out of those are just one like a

424
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 4: four man tag er. I don't know, but you know,

425
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: I think they're kind of hinting towards that. I saw

426
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: a couple of I think it was all all three

427
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 4: of them, all the three horse Women that are there

428
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 4: now with Shana. They fought in South Haven, Mississippi, when

429
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 4: I was there a couple of weeks ago, and it

430
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: was a pretty good match. But yeah, I kind of

431
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: hope she moves up somewhere, you know, just because again,

432
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: I to me, she's like the female brock Lesner, Like

433
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: I kind of, you know, I kind of believe her.

434
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: I mean I even probably more than Rhonda, to be

435
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 4: honest with you. So yeah, that was really cool to see.

436
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 4: And you know, it's not you don't usually see a

437
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: lot of heel versus heel, So her going after Bailey

438
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: was kind of surprising, but yeah, we'll see what happens.

439
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean, just why that it's it was

440
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 2: a good part that the plane because we kept going

441
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: back and forth and I kept tweeting, like can the

442
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: plane break down more often? And you know, leave the

443
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: people over there? And of course we talked about Champa

444
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: and miss going at it and Champa beat Miz by

445
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: hitting him with the fairy Tale ending.

446
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: And I'm glad he was back because I mean, when

447
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 4: they were when they diagnosed it, they were kind I

448
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: don't remember what it was, but it was just like

449
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: the odds of him coming back were slim. They're like, yeah,

450
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 4: we need to focus on you just being able to walk,

451
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 4: and we need to focus on you being able to

452
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 4: just live a comfortable life. And so but he basically

453
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: was just like, I'm there's nothing driving me more than

454
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 4: getting back in the ring, and so I just think

455
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 4: it was the laser focus. And you know, sometimes people

456
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: heal better than expected and sometimes they don't, and I

457
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 4: think he was kind of the exception. So it's awesome

458
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: to see him back. He's been one of my favorites

459
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: for probably three years now. When I saw him at

460
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: a takeover in New Orleans last year, that was the

461
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 4: I don't remember which one was. It seems like him

462
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: in Gargano fight every week, but it was one of

463
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 4: the big, you know, one of their big matches.

464
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 5: Uh.

465
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: He just walked to the ring with no entrance music,

466
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: and it was just unbelievable. I mean, you just don't

467
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 4: realize how much of a difference that makes, you know,

468
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 4: just to walk in silence.

469
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 5: It was just it was wild.

470
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: So he's he's an incredible I like him more as

471
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: a heel obviously, but he's kind of on that fence now.

472
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, And there's something that kind of we both noticed,

473
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: and then we saw on social media about something that

474
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: happened at the end of the night, which we'll kind

475
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: of talk about that here in just a little bit

476
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: once we kind of get to that main event thing.

477
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: But I was sitting there and they were as I

478
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: was watching it some more the show, Daniel Bryan and

479
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: he ran into you know, Triple H. This is kind

480
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: of a fun moment. He ran into Triple H and

481
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: Shawn Michael's in the back, and like Daniel Bryan was

482
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: like wanting to fight, and like the thing that made

483
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: me like pop like a schoolgirl was like Shawn Michael

484
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: started like unzipping his jacket. Like I was like, oh crap,

485
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: Like we're about to get Shawn Michael's Daniel Brian. Now,

486
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: granted I would have liked to see it a couple

487
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: of years back, but I was like, oh, we're about

488
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: to get it. And it was kind of like, no,

489
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: what are you doing, Sean And he's like, oh, it's cold.

490
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 2: And then Triple H says, I gotta fight for you. You

491
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 2: might know him, and Adam Cole walks up and I

492
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: was like, I'm totally down for this fight too.

493
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

494
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: But I mean it was the NXT nine. I mean,

495
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: Rhea Ripley and Tiagan Knox defeated Fire and Desire, which

496
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 2: is Mandy Rose and what's the other girl's name that's

497
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: with Mandy. Yes, so you had more NXT people coming

498
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: at and then of course at the end of the night,

499
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: it was all the roster in the ring, Triple H

500
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: shooting a promo talk about how we fired the first

501
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: shot and I'm like, this is like going against w

502
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: c W firing the first shot kind of thing. And

503
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: but the one thing, because you texted me and I

504
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: saw it on Twitter as well, but the one thing

505
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: that you notice about Champa at the end of the match.

506
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone pointed out on uh, well, the original tweet

507
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: was saying something about, you know, fans complaining about story

508
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: lines and storytelling and all this stuff. But if you

509
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 4: go back and watch it, when they when they have

510
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: Triple H in the ring and all the NXT people

511
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 4: are there, from Leo Rush to Ray Ripley and Cole

512
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 4: was in there and Champa and everything, Champa is laser

513
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 4: focused on Adam Cole. All he's doing is looking at

514
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 4: the NXT belt and you know that the whole thing

515
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: was just the caption was just kind of like little

516
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: details matter and the fact that they're you know, staging

517
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: this takeover, they're really you know, trying to get into

518
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 4: this whole Survivor Series thing, and they've pretty much took

519
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 4: over SmackDown. Even if it was an accident, He's still

520
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: focused on the NXT Championship. You know, he never lost

521
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: it and you know calls it Goldie. So the fact

522
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 4: that you have all these superstars in the ring and

523
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 4: Triple H has given an incredible promo and he has

524
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 4: his sights locked on that belt. You know, that was

525
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 4: just but that's more of a testament to the NXT

526
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: storylines than you know, the main roster storylines.

527
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 5: But it was a cool It was a cool moment

528
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: to look at.

529
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: And the one thing I kind of took away from

530
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: everything was like, Okay, I want to see now that

531
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: all these people are watching NXT people, I want to

532
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: see how it's going to roll come Wednesday night, because

533
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: last Wednesday Night the ratings kind of dipped down a

534
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: little bit. But I like, we me and you kind

535
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: of talked about I mean, you had NBA, you had

536
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: the World Series, and I think aw like had about

537
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: seven fifty nine. N XT brought in five eighty, which

538
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 2: I want to see now that you know all these

539
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: people got introduced to NXT that didn't watch NXT, what's

540
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: going to happen Wednesday night.

541
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think somebody mentioned, you know, well, I think

542
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 4: that's going to get some more eyes on them on

543
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 4: the match, you know, or on NXT, and I you know,

544
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: I think so, you know, I think we're.

545
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 5: I think that's the I think that's the week.

546
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, next weekend is the full gear is the pay

547
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: per view, which I have a ticket to, but I

548
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: will not be attending. And so, you know, I'd be

549
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 4: kind of surprised if if they win the waiting ratings

550
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: war with a pay per view being you know, a

551
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: couple of days later, but you know, who knows, maybe

552
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 4: maybe they will.

553
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 5: But it was it was good.

554
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 4: You know, it was kind of like we were just saying,

555
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: you know, it was it was a happy accident.

556
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 5: You know.

557
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 4: It's kind of a I hate to see what would

558
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: have happened if all the wrestlers had made it back,

559
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 4: you know, but you know, it did, it did happen.

560
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 5: It was, it was awesome.

561
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: I was just looking at I think Forbes or something

562
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: was rating the things, and most of most of the

563
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 4: matches they rated pretty high, and they said the final

564
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: segment was really good too.

565
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it is the go home show for

566
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: aw a lot of stuff is going to be answered

567
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: kind of thing.

568
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised for the past couple of weeks.

569
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: You haven't really seen like many wrestlers get promo tim

570
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: during the show, unless you kind of like the christ

571
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: Jericho when he's talking about a ineser going whatnot. And

572
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: they gave Moxley promo time, and of course Moxley attacked

573
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: the library and which, by the way, uh, if we're counting,

574
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: I think think that Bricksure probably would have made a

575
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: good librarian. Yeah, but we're also biased on that one.

576
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: But so Moxley caught a promo. Let's see, Ricky can

577
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: still take a bump, and that was gnarly that getting

578
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: thrown off the stage and getting beat up by Lax

579
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: whatever they want to call themselves. Now what do they

580
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: what do they call themselves? An awn?

581
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 4: I think it's just their names. I think they're just

582
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: the you know, Johnson and Johnson, whatever their name. I

583
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: think they're just going by their last names.

584
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so hard to keep up because like

585
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: some wrestlers go by their names, some go by like

586
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: some surreal name. It's kind of hard to kind of

587
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: keep up with names. Now it's like like the Viking Raiders,

588
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: Like one day they're the Viking Raiders, the next day

589
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: they're the Viking Experience, and then they're the War Raiders,

590
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: and I don't know anyways, So yeah, Wednesday night it was.

591
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: It was kind of fun. I know, we're backtracking wrestling events,

592
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: going from SmackDown going back to Wednesday Night. I mean,

593
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: this that's the fun part about this podcast. We're just

594
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: all over the place. We just kind of talk about

595
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: what's happening. There's no script in front of us. We

596
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: just kind of say this is what we're gonna talk about,

597
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: and we're going to figure out as we go. But yeah,

598
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: I mean, all in all, it was a good night.

599
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: I didn't really watch much of NXT. I did watch

600
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 2: the promo that Finn cut, which you could tell like

601
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: was from the heart and basically like said, look, you

602
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: know you made me lay down for a guy in

603
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: a mask. Well I'm taking my mask off now and

604
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm the hottest thing in the company.

605
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I've got to go back and check

606
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: it out. I went and saw Doctor Sleep early. It

607
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: comes out this Friday, but I saw it last Friday

608
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: or last Wednesday, and so I just kind of with

609
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 4: the other podcast being horror related. Halloween is you know,

610
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 4: a big, big season for us, so it was kind

611
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: of just numb, you know.

612
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 5: It was just kind of like I need a break.

613
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 4: So I wentn't checked out that movie, and I didn't

614
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: watch anything I.

615
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 5: Did want to mention. UH.

Speaker 5: It was a I had to go back. I can't

645
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,520

Speaker 4: a knife out in the middle of the rings.

649
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 5: It's pretty wild.

650
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: Was that the same match where somebody brought up uh?

651
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: Was it a rocket launcher bazooka?

652
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 4: It was the same venue, but I don't remember if

653
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: it was the same card or not.

654
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: That's for a different time. Yes, we'll talk about that

655
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: in another time.

656
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. It was very funny.

657
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 4: But there's also two world title matches, the MLW National

658
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 4: open Weight Title match between Alex Hammerstone and Davey boy

659
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,880

660
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 4: MLW World Heavyweight Title No DQ match Jacob Fattou And

661
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is supposed to be La

662
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 4: Parka and they just changed it. It's La park but

663
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: uh FI two one. He's part of the Samowen dynasty obviously,

664
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 4: so the only title change was the tag titles, the

665
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 4: van Erics one those and yeah, so you know, I

666
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 4: always tell people, you know, look it up if you've

667
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 4: never checked it out, if you have the fight app.

668
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 4: I think their weekly show is free on there. So

669
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 4: I've checked it out, you know, sporadically. And one time

670
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: Jim Cornett was announcing, and I don't know if he

671
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 4: still is since he's doing the NBA now, may be

672
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 4: doing both. MJF obviously is an aw now you know,

673
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 4: Austin Ares is still huge name. Teddy Hart, you know,

674
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 4: he was signed to the WWE at like eighteen and

675
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 4: then you know, had some issues and went out. But

676
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: he's kind of revived himself and on the indie scene,

677
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 4: and he's he's still I mean, he's still going.

678
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 5: He's awesome.

679
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 4: And Doug Markham, who's one of the refs at h

680
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 4: Southern under Ground Pro which is over at the Basement East,

681
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 4: he refs for them, so he's kind of tied into

682
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 4: the big, a big organization.

683
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 5: And I think, let me check one more thing, where

684
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 5: was I at?

685
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 4: I hate it when I close something out and then

686
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: forget the site.

687
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: Of was on and then you have to go through

688
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: and then add pops up. Then it plays over the

689
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 2: radio over the speakers.

690
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 4: Umm, oh okay, so there was a pre show. Yeah,

691
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,320

694
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 4: Park defeated Zensu uh. And then so this is the

695
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 4: one I wanted to mention just because of the connection.

696
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: But Simon Gotch who was in. He was a w

697
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,560

Speaker 4: No, that's that's here in Nashville.

701
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: Let's see, I will google this and you just keep talking.

702
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, him and his tag team partner at kiro Kwan

Speaker 4: defeated Douglas James and Dominic Gerini and the Spirit Squad

704
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 4: in a three way tag Dominic Gareni has the Villains

705
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: VOD villains.

706
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, there we go.

707
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: We'd eventually figured out we don't have interns, by the way,

708
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: so we can't really just just go on the fly.

709
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 5: And they were good. I loved their gimmick.

710
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 4: I hate that they kind of has always watched them

711
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 4: when they moved him up. But but yeah, Dominic, he's

712
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 4: been He's was a big part of Southern Underground. He

713
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 4: was the champ for a while, and him and Kevin

714
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 4: Ku were a tag team, and it was kind of

715
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 4: cool to see.

716
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 5: Him on a on a much bigger level now.

717
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: So but yeah, so Jimmy Havock's still over there, you know.

718
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 4: So it's kind of cool to see some names that

719
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: are popping up on Wednesdays still pop up on MLW.

720
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 5: So nice.

721
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: Let's see. There was something else I was going to

722
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: talk about while we were on the show, but no,

723
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: I just forgot it and I'm like scrolling through. Oh

724
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 2: that's what it was. So a lot of things going

725
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 2: on in Ring of Honor right now and one thing,

726
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: and I texted, yeah, I texted you this the other day,

727
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: and I think this is kind of a cool thing.

728
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: And I'll have to text him to come back on

729
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: the show because I really want to talk about it.

730
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: But Vincent, who we had on when Ring of Honor

731
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: was in town, who goes by the horror king on

732
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor, He was part of the Kingdom with

733
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: Matt Tavan and all them. Well, apparently there's been a

734
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: storyline going on of like Matt Tavan and him and

735
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: a couple of the other guys in the Kingdom getting

736
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: like beaten the piss out of backstage. Well apparently it

737
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: all broke down the other night, and it turns out

738
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 2: that Vincent was the guy that was attacking me. And

739
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: the creepy thing about this it is like, so I'm

740
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 2: watching like gifts on things and he's like literally just

741
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 2: left Matt Tavan a bloody mass in the middle of

742
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: the ring and he's like kind of holding him with

743
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 2: his head in his lap and like sticks his finger

744
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: in the blood, licks the blood and then marks an

745
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: X on his forehead.

746
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think they'll have some good matches.

747
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 4: I was I was worried you were going to talk

748
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 4: about the the Joey Mercury stuff. So that's good. I'd

749
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 4: much rather talk about this than no no Joey Mercury drama. Yeah,

750
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: you know, it's I guess Tavin just re signed with them,

751
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 4: and everyone assumed he was leaving just because Ring of

752
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 4: Honor has been in a better state than they are

753
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 4: right now. So and I guess the HARKing is not

754
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 4: going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

755
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 5: So that'll be.

756
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 4: Cool, uh dynamic, you know, I think they they have

757
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 4: different styles. I think they'll be able to kind of

758
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 4: do some cool matches and stuff.

759
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: And he was a really cool guy, and of course,

760
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: you know, just this he was a high flyer and

761
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: it kind of he had to go against Rushe and

762
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 2: it wasn't really much of a great match for him.

763
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,479
Speaker 2: But having him and Taven go at it will be good.

764
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: I think we maybe you might have texted me, but

765
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: there's reports out there that Marty Scroll was gonna re

766
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: sign with ro Oh.

767
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.

768
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: That is completely shocking to me. I'll be honest. It's uh,

769
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 4: you know, it's one thing to be, you know, loyal

770
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 4: to somebody, But.

771
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know.

772
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 4: Evidently his decision is, like his deal is up this month.

773
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 5: You know, it's.

774
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: I think what he was basically getting at was they

775
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 4: you know, they're the ones that gave him his shot

776
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 4: in America and they're the ones that gave him the

777
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 4: biggest stage and all that. So he kind of feels

778
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 4: some loyalty to him to them. But I mean, jeez, man,

779
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 4: you know, like, and I just don't think that they

780
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: have the resources to offer him what he should be worth,

781
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It would just be shocking

782
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 4: to me if he did not go to AW or

783
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 4: n XT. You know, like, I just can't. I just

784
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 4: can't see a scenario where.

785
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 5: That happens. But you know, again, I'm not in his shoes,

786
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 5: so I don't know.

787
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there could be some stuff that's going to happen.

788
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. But something that we are going to

789
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: talk about right now is it is a giveaway time boom. Yeah.

790
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,880

793
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: sound effects to play right now. Maybe I'll just have

00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: to add them in later. I don't know. But anyways,

795

Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll leave it at that.

824
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: We'll leave it at that.

825
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 4: So our track record is not great when we announce it.

826
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: It's not been great. But if everything goes to coin

827
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: to plan, it'll be a party on Friday. I'm not

828
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: talking about a private party.

829
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 5: Oh that'd be a good one.

830
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: Yes, private party is not coming on the show, but

831
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: somebody who has fought private party could possibly come on

832
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 2: the show.

833
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 5: Yeah. I did want to interject.

834
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 4: I was just I pulled up Twitter and Kelly Klein,

835
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 4: who is the current Ring of Honor World Women's World Champion,

836
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 4: she tweeted, I didn't bring up issues publicly before I

837
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 4: was afraid for my job and the jobs of my colleagues.

838
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 4: I don't want to take away their place of work.

839
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 4: I want to make their place of work better and safer.

840
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 4: Maybe someone will finally listen and let me and others

841
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 4: help make things better. So I think that's piggybacking on

842
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 4: the Joey Mercury stuff, and.

843
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 5: Yeah it's.

844
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: Man, I was looking at some stuff on there and

845
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: it's pretty brutal. So maybe we talked because Kelly Klin

846
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: was supposed to come on the show when Ring of

847
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 2: Honor was in Nashville and we just had couldn't get

848
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 2: it swing. So maybe we can get her on to

849
00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: kind of talk about this.

850
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, we try not to.

851
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know pay attention to the rumors and

852
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 4: gossip and stuff, but you know, I guess if we're

853
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 4: being constructive, I guess you know, Ring of Honors just

854
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 4: had some growing pains this year, and I mean it's

855
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 4: hard to ignore. I mean everyone has pointed it out.

856
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 4: And this whole stuff with Joey Mercury's definitely kind of

857
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 4: ripping the band.

858
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 5: Aid off a little bit. So yeah, I don't know

859
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 5: what the.

860
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 4: Future holds for them. It's just it's it's so weird

861
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 4: to see where they are from a year ago, you know,

862
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 4: I mean even going back to the beginning of last

863
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 4: year or January of twenty eighteen. They had their TV

864
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 4: tapings here at Municipal and yeah, I paid to meet Marty,

865
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 4: but he left his table before I got to so

866
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 4: I Matt Cody. But the Bucks were there, Christopher Daniel

867
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 4: was there, Seu was there.

868
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 5: I mean, a.

869
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 4: Big part of the aw roster was at that show.

870
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm sure they just thought that this

871
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 4: was how it was going to be for the next

872
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 4: little bit. And roughly a year later they're gone and

873
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 4: there's a new company that's you know, fighting directly against them.

874
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 5: So I don't know.

875
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 4: Man, Hopefully they can turn some things around and you know,

876
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 4: piece it back together and we will.

877
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: See what happens in the meantime. But yeah, so we've

878
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 2: been talking and rambling on for the past thirty minutes

879
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: or so. I guess this is the perfect time to

880
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: end the show.

881
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 5: I'm okay with it ending right now.

882
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's end it on a good note. Remember we

883
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: are giving away tickets to Grilling Jr. And what happened

884
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: when with Tony Sivoni, Jim Ross, Conrad Thompson. It's going

885
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 2: down at Zany's on November thirteenth. Will also try to

886
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: get Conrad and JayR to come in hopefully that morning,

887
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: and we'll have them on the show and we'll just

888
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: put up a that day podcast. So that's the plan.

889
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 2: And follow us Instagram right now. You can win these

890
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: tickets Battleground Podcast. But yeah, that's it.

891
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 5: Awesome, great show.

Speaker 2: Guys, really treat show. I don't know how to say goodbye,

893
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna say goodbye. I don't want to

894
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 2: do happy trails, even though I just said happy trails.

895
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 3: Man.

896
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,799
