Russ looking to put away Kobe yet
again, and Kobe stays alive. Intense
2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.800
How about the resiliency of king Sit
Like I said before, Kobe's been here
3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.919
before. He is a veteran of
the war. Hey, look, let's
4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.440
not fooling one around here. It's
only a matter of time. Kobe's been
5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.800
here before. Yeah, he suffered
a loss. He has been here before.
6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.039
We got a wave going here in
the NXT arena at full Sale University.
7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.719
These fans trying to get behind Kobe
Kingston. Is that how you get
8
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.719
the way? Pick up Byron and

the SOS. Why why don't you stand

Inkston, He doesn't need me yet, get earlier. G Hello and
12
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.159
welcome to TENXT, the officially unofficial
NXT podcast. I'm your host Matt and
13
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.760
coming down the British aisle. Two
men who definitely know where Indianapolis is.
14
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.319
It's my friends and co hosts Pete
Oh and Graham. Hello there. In
15
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.879
this podcast, we'll retroactively review the
episode of NXT that was released ten years
16
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.120
ago. This week and along the
way, we'll look back at some news
17
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.040
and sports events from twenty fourteen before
ultimately deciding which matches and moments belong in
18
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.519
our annals of NXT history. Gentlemen, how are you both doing this week?
19
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.640
Yeah? I'm all right. How
about you? You both doing good?
20
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.120
Ready to talk about potentially better quality
NXT? Potentially Let's see. Yeah,
21
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.120
we'll see how it goes. It
can't be worse than the first two
22
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.640
weeks of the year before we get
onto NXT. Some a classic NXT rivalry
23
00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:00.439
has been in the news and in
the meme sphere this week. Don't like
24
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.040
that word, what memes sphere?
You're memes sphere not a fan of that.
25
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.159
You can't just say the internet anymore
because everything is the Internet. Everything's
26
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:14.560
online. That does sound a bit
boomer Yeah, yeah, but yeah.
27
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.759
Tony Kahan made some unhinged tweets at
whatever o'clock in the morning, got got
28
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.919
baited by some ww accounts to sort
of criticize that Jinder Mahle is getting a
29
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.919
title shot against Seth Rollins to sort
of I guess tied him over to see
30
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.840
him punk at WrestleMania. But it's
led to a lot of people being like,
31
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.360
oh no, but it is an
iconic Come on, they've got history.
32
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:38.560
They fought for the first NXT championship. Yeah, so we witnessed that
33
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.319
history and it was it was average, kind of in the animals, I
34
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.919
mean the ship side of them,
but it's there. Yes, Vince is
35
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.919
a bastard man. The second the
second title match they had randomly changing is
36
00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:00.080
gimmick three days before. You appreciate
that, Vince lovely stuff, and it's
37
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.120
made for some very funny promo packages, some fun video packages. Did you
38
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:12.080
see the Running Up the Hill one? That's a classic. I saw the
39
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:17.080
My Way one the seventeen. Yes, that's just good. It's just it's
40
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:23.280
just funny and steeped in n XT
history. As we know he's he's right.
41
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.240
If he wasn't, you know,
the head of a rival company and
42
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.879
skeeping busy with more important stuff.
He is right, there's no waging.
43
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.199
This should be getting a title match, and he's turned it into an angle
44
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.159
on his own show, which makes
me think, well, no, they
45
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.680
were still unhinge tweets at two in
the morning, but he's turned them into
46
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.120
an angle on his own show,
where he was saying in the tweets like,
47
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.680
well, people like Hook should have
a world title shot then, because
48
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.800
he's undefeated and or has only lost
one match in two years or something,
49
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.879
and so it's going to be Hook
versus Samojo next week for the aw World
50
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.400
Championship, where I think that Young
Lad is going to get squashed. All
51
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.599
right, Well enough reminiscing about an
XT from eleven and a half years ago.
52
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.520
At this point, should we get
on with NXT from ten years ago?
53
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.439
We begin this week's episode with Coo
Triple H, who actually has a
54
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.439
real announcement for us this time.
First, he reminds us that on February
55
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:24.040
twenty fourth, at eleven oh six
pm Eastern Time, the WWE network goes
56
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:30.120
live. Why that time, I
assume it's a reference to something like for
57
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:36.279
there'll be three sixteens PM or am
surely like what's eleven or six? Have
58
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:43.160
no idea. I was kind of
hoping there'd be some WWE history was made
59
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.800
at that time. Yeah, first
won a

title. I don't know November
60
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:57.879
sixth. Something happened November sixth,
November sixth, June. Is that when
61
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:03.120
Caine's movie comes out or something like
that. A little reference to may nineteen
62
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.759
there, Yeah, just a weird
It must just be it. I couldn't
63
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:12.000
find anything about it. It must
just be one of those strange business things.
64
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.519
Do you remember the WW network still
got it? What you're not watching
65
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.279
this on it? You know on
that? You know on that cock?
66
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.040
Yet you know it's not about all
about pet cock. No, no,
67
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.600
p that's a shame. That's a
shame. I remember the UK announcement when
68
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.920
they kept pushing it back and had
to apologize a live show got John seen
69
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:41.519
it out to apologize and say a
bunch of shit and then edited our cheers
70
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.439
into other parts of the show.
Yes, that really fucked me off at
71
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.000
the time. Now look back as
like who keeps the fuck? Who cares?
72
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.360
Yeah? I really did pissed me. I felt like they'd stolen something
73
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.240
from me that they'd forced my chant
to like Camember it was probably Survive a
74
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.680
series or something that was maybe coming
up. Yeah, and used it for
75
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.160
that. Yeah. Now we know
that most things are fake, so it
76
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.439
kind of makes sense. But ten
years ago it felt like a I don't
77
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:13.240
know, a breach of trust.
Yeah, I mean corporate cut exactly exactly.
78
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.879
Speaking of corporate cut, says Triple
h's next announcement, it's an even
79
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:21.600
bigger announcement. On February twenty seventh, NXT will hold its first ever live
80
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.839
broadcast on the WW network. It's
a mini pay per view, a pre
81
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.040
takeover. It's the first ever NXT
network special. And I don't think they
82
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.079
named it, did they not?
Hear? No, Well, we know
83
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.240
it's Arrival. NXT. Arrival is
round the corner. It's a great name
84
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.279
for the record. Yeah, yeah, simple, very good. I think
85
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.399
I think it's a great name,
definitely, definitely. So yeah, we've
86
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.199
got something to build to now.
Maybe we'll see. We'll see over the
87
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.600
coming weeks how well they build to
it. So let's continue the hype and
88
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.600
get straight to a match that feels
very twenty fourteen NXT it's making his seasonal
89
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:02.279
residency in Brazil. Tyler Breeze Versus
making seasonal residency in Biker Adrian Neville,
90
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.639
Pete, you're a pretty prince.
What did you make of this match?
91
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.319
I'll get onto discussing the match.
I'd just like to comment on something that
92
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.759
I think it was Tom Phillips said
during it okay, where he called Adrian
93
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:27.920
Neville Newcastle's greatest son, who the
NXT wrestler beating out Just a few names
94
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.199
here, George Stephenson, who is
an engineer and father of steam powered railways.
95
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:40.959
So Joseph Swan, who invented the
light bulb shots sting the not the
96
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:48.240
wrestler exactly, Brian Johnson, a
c oh yeah, Nobel Prize winning physicist,
97
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.079
Peter Higgs. I thought you're going
to go for a different Peter no
98
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.000
on fame sadly, and the guy
who scored the most goals in Premier League
99
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:09.839
history, an apparently one time NXT
tag title holder Adrian Neville. Beats them
100
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.920
all. Wow, Jimmy Neil not
even getting a mention in your's actually the
101
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.040
name that gets thrown around. There
are a lot of people that I couldn't
102
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.480
name. I thought I picked the
high lights, so sort of very good,
103
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.800
good, good Newcastle knowledge of the
favorite suns. But so where where
104
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.159
would Adrian Neville fall? Somewhere in
the twenties, maybe maybe maybe in the
105
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.759
thirties. He wouldn't even get into
the hundred. They'd be ninety footballers before
106
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.960
you get onto the match. I
thought it was a lot of fun,
107
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.600
good, fast paced opener with some
really nice high spots there was a great
108
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.120
drop kick that Breeze did off Neville
doing a springboard, kind of a springboard,
109
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.960
nothing but the drop kick. What
it was? Yeah, yeah,
110
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.000
yeah, I thought some great movies, great cancas in this match, and
111
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.879
a really good open Yeah yeah,
Graham, what did you make of it?
112
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.480
Yeah? These two, it's exactly
what I remember from these two.
113
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.279
They've got such great chemistry. They
work so well together, and you get
114
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.200
the perfect kind of combination of Breeze
who is just doing his character work throughout
115
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.159
and kind of keeps that going,
you know, checking itself in the in
116
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.320
his phone to him, sealthy stuff, not the whole, not the face,
117
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.000
don't hit me in the face,
love it, love it,
whereas
118
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.759
Neville's not really bringing that kind of
stuff to most matches. Yea. His
119
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.440
character work is that he's great in
the ring, fast Jordy. That's that's
120
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.600
yes, jumping Jordie. We get
the I think of That's what you mentioned
121
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.919
is like the signature Breeze Nevill spot. I'm pretty sure they have that in
122
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.200
every match. The cats drop kick
out of the air. I feel like
123
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.639
they do that all the time.
Certainly, those dropkicks are a big thing
124
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.759
of breezes offense. I think,
yeah, it's we've not seen. One
125
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.320
thing I I'm waiting for is the
Neville DDT cell. I don't know where
126
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.840
it happens or when there's a Neville
DDT cell that is like an all timer.
127
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.799
Yeah, it's a classic like r
v D style, like completely throws
128
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.279
his head into the mat. Yeah. Yeah, love this match, great,
129
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.159
great opener. I do wonder if
it's I might cut this, but
130
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.440
I do wonder if it's in a
match with r v D because I think
131
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.679
RVD comes down to NXT again this
year, and if it if him had
132
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:33.360
Neville had a match, it's not
it's it's Tyler breeze and it is a
133
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:41.559
it's a it's off the ropes and
he like spins around. It's the speed
134
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.799
they go through it, and it
just gives Neville the ability to he lands
135
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.320
on his head and then he like
he springboards to his feet and then planks
136
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.480
into the ground. It's it's so
clear in my head it might be in
137
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.240
their pay per view match, because
I'm sure they don't have a match Arrival.
138
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.639
Isn't that the match? It might
be that match. It's possible.
139
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.600
Yeah, if not Arrival, like
the first takeover. They like you said,
140
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.639
they certainly face each other a lot
in twenty fourteen, Neville and Breeze
141
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.679
in various combinations as well the four
way they're both in that. It's all
142
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.360
that chemistry. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. The finish to this hot opener,
143
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.039
after back and forth counters on the
turn buckle, Neville counters a rana
144
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.519
from the top and hits the red
Arrow for the win and the revenge because
145
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.919
this was Breeze getting involved during that
lumberjack match. This is like never getting
146
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.159
the revenge for that my one gripe. Yes, and I have to find
147
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.000
something to not be happy about or
what's the point. It made me kind
148
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.080
of hate the promo from last week
a little bit because like, Okay,
149
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.879
why was Neville joking like this dude
cost him the title? And then the
150
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.320
problem what happens? He's like,
what you're standing over there for? Like
151
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.120
me, bring on your phone.
It's like, I mean, would you
152
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.080
not be maybe a little more pissed
off at him? Yeah? I don't
153
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.159
know, Yeah, I see your
point. It's it's that classic dumb baby
154
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.240
face stuff. They just don't know, yeah, how to do baby faces
155
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.240
at this point, and Breeze is
a bit tweenery as well. Yeah,
156
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:15.000
yeah, yeah, they didn't want
him to be it. Well, Neville
157
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.399
sends the message that he's still gunning
for the NXT championship, which is great
158
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.720
news for those of us from the
Northeast with one of Newcastle's favorite sons.
159
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.080
But what else was happening in the
news? Nailed that segue at the news
160
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.159
desk. This was the news.
It's quarter past the decade. It's time
161
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.720
for the news. Okay, your
first piece of news from ten years ago.
162
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:43.519
This week, the United States returns
eleventh to twelfth century sculptures stolen by
163
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.679
art thieves from temples in India.
Good good on the US for returning stolen
164
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:58.840
historical objects. Cowardly got to keep
them well eleven to twelfth century because they
165
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:05.240
didn't exist, so the right,
that's true. When did they steal them
166
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:13.159
India or we took it over with
probably indeed, is India the conventry or
167
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.039
is it Indian artifacts as in like
Native American. Oh that's a good point.
168
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.559
Actually, I think based on the
article, I think it was from
169
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.279
temples in India, because I'm not
sure Native Americans had like temples as such.
170
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.320
It's got to be India. Yeah, which India didn't exist in the
171
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.360
eleventh twelfth century, right, I
mean I just did an earlier form of
172
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:39.240
like, yeah, ethnically Indian people, right, Hindustan. I think,
173
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.039
oh, I'm going to get challenged
here on. I don't think anyone's going
174
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.399
to cancel us over anything that was
a millennia ago. I think that's what
175
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.519
the place was called. I'm going
off of EU four here, a little
176
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.960
bit of paradox gaming. No one
played Europe. I'm sorry, but Graham,
177
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.159
I think you're right about it.
It probably was the Brits who brought
178
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.320
it over. I can give it
back. I've got to say, Hindu
179
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:16.600
Stands sounds like the kind of name
that Britain would make up. Oh,
180
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.080
well, that's where all the Hindus
live. Well, Hindu stand then it's
181
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.480
worked for all the other stands.
Shouldn't even be called India. It should
182
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.559
be called Barrat is what it's called
over there. Oh yeah, there you
183
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.879
go. I'm looking forward to this
slaw renaming of countries to what the people
184
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:39.919
in the countries actually called them.
Deed, your next piece of news,
185
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:46.360
a controversy regarding capital punishment in the
United States erupts after the execution of OHI
186
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.559
or killer Dennis Maguire took twenty five
minutes. Horrible. I assume that was
187
00:14:52.679 --> 00:15:01.679
lethal injection, Yes, it was. Why is that the mess it's deemed
188
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.600
acceptable? I think because it looks
the least barbaric to the person administering it,
189
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.919
even though it's more barbaric than like, I'd rather be beheaded than have
190
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.360
a lethal injections. So many guns, that's what blows my mind. The
191
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.200
most cost effective, like just in
the audience is going to be someone with
192
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:31.639
a gun that could let's just get
it over with. Yeah, it's I
193
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.720
mean, it's partly to add a
bit of a smoke and mirrors to the
194
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.000
to the sort of capital put like
to the people who want to keep capital
195
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.320
punishment around want it to be as
covert as possible so that they don't associate
196
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.399
barbarianism with it. They don't associate
it as like a barbaric practice. I
197
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.399
far more associate the concept of like
injecting poison into someone's blood. I think
198
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:00.759
it's three different compounds than the combination
of them is the poison. All right,
199
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:07.720
Okay, technically we didn't kill him, his own bloodstream killed just fucking
200
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.879
shoot me and be done with it. Yeah, Dennis Maguire. Quite it
201
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.000
sounds like a British serial killer name. I don't know what it is.
202
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.919
Maybe it's the Maybe it's the McGuire, Maybe it's the Dennis, it's the
203
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.720
Monk, but it's it's just I
don't know. It's very very British sounding
204
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.559
to me. R I P or
not r
IP because you were a killer,
205
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.279
but you should have just spent life
in prison. Yeah, it's tough
206
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.960
to care about a rapist murder exactly
equally, this shouldn't have happened. Yeah,
207
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.799
limited sympathy. Cool, All right, Now that we've solved capital punishment,
208
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:38.240
let's on let's move on to our
final piece of news. Sixteen year
209
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:44.919
old Lewis Clark of Bristol sets a
new world record after becoming the youngest person
210
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.320
to trek to the South Pole.
Lewis Clark, like Lewis and Clark,
211
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:55.240
I know, right, I could
not believe this. It's like nominative determinism
212
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.080
gone crazy. Yeah, yeah,
or he was named after him and like
213
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.960
his parents were super should be them
and that we're not talking about the gender
214
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.559
of one person here, which it's
Lewis and Clark so it's kind of weird
215
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.480
to it's weird to name your son
after two people. Well have your surnames
216
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.799
Clark, You've kind of got half
exactly exactly. You think you might as
217
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.119
well one of the famous Clarks are
there? There's none? There you go,
218
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:29.000
I can't think of anything? Call
him? Why not shot? Yeah,
219
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:40.000
that's the extent of my lives and
Clark knowledge Oregon Trail. Yeah.
220
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:45.079
I couldn't imagine doing this at sixteen. I couldn't imagine doing a trek to
221
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.440
the South Pole, North Pole.
Sure to see Santa absolutely, Yeah,
222
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.400
but the elves help you along the
way exactly, but not not the South
223
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.160
Pole. That's for rugged explorers.
It just makes me think it probably wasn't
224
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.640
that hard. You're open. Yeah, that's a good point. Actually,
225
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:08.599
yeah, come on, come on, Lewis Clark minus fifty maybe two coats?
226
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:15.440
Okay, yeah, Scarff you're there
you Okay. Back on NXT,
227
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.079
it's the Return of the Moonchild C. J. Parker and he beats the
228
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:25.240
also returning now with his own entrance, Jason Jordan, and Parker wins in
229
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:29.599
a minute with a heel kick and
a palm strike. Graham, you're a
230
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.759
moonchild of sorts in that you have
insomnia. Thoughts on the return of Parker.
231
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:40.400
Suppose that's true. That's more interested
in the in the in the Double
232
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.680
J. To be honest, Jason
Jordan getting the Double J in his intro,
233
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.880
Yeah feels a bit. That's okay, Okay, I don't think w
234
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.519
W have ever had a problem sticking
it to Jeff Jarrett, Yeah, it
235
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.480
almost feels deliberate. It's he got
to show off his back flip as well,
236
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.400
which is tough doing that to Neville, it's like, oh yeah,
237
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.559
okay, seen it. Yeah,
even though it's probably more impressive that he
238
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.559
has one when he's way a lot. Yeah. I like the kind of
239
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:14.480
start that Double J got with the
sort of amateur wrestling that he got to
240
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.839
really sort of show off. Yeah, but they only gave him like thirty
241
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.000
seconds of it before he was then
palm struck in the face. It was
242
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.480
to say, he's a very short
match, very short match. Yeah,
243
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.440
I have no interest in c J. Parker. Yeah, However, it
244
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.839
doesn't have heat on him the same
way that a lot of the other characters
245
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.359
do, like Breeze and even Aiden
English gets reactions. Yeah, yeah,
246
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.160
he's got none. Similar thoughts for
you, Pete, Yeah, pretty much.
247
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.119
Jason Jordan gets an entrance, so
that's something, but at one minute
248
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.279
swash match, nothing really to say. Yeah, My only note is there's
249
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.799
lots of wild and wacky angles and
camera movements during C. J. Parker's
250
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.559
entrance, And it's true. Yeah, Kevin Dunne making it down to NXT
251
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.319
after he's now finally gone in twenty
twenty for being able direction. Really,
252
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.279
yeah, he's finally gone. So
you know that's that's a change that's happened
253
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.240
in the present day. Have we
had programs go on without him to see
254
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:12.640
like actually had things changed? We
have? We have. I think it's
255
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.279
still too kinetic as far as camera
movement goes, But the clips I saw
256
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.759
didn't have those crazy zooms, so
maybe there's there's progress there, there's a
257
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.519
happy middle ground perhaps. I mean, I've listened about twenty different reasons why
258
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.680
I gave up watching wrestling, but
his zooms were in that list. Yeah,
259
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.079
it was a I remember watching like
New Japan for the first time around
260
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.559
like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen,
where they do a lot of fixed camera
261
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.880
stuff, and I was like,
God, this just looks so much better.
262
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.599
You can see the moves happening,
you know, when someone's fucked up
263
00:20:44.640 -->
00:20:48.359
more. That's obviously why they do
the zooms to hide green people, and
264
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.640
they're actually hurting each other so you
don't have to hide the bagness. That's
265
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.799
true, that's true, all right. There's no backstage segments this episode to
266
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.440
help anyone's character development. I don't
know what's up with that. Definitely could
267
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.200
have had a couple saying, last
week, where's Renee? Now we've lost
268
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:08.839
Defan as well. Okay, so
we get straight to some more action where
269
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:14.759
NXT champion Bo Dallas speaks Mojo Rawley. You were asking where Mojo Rowley was
270
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.119
here? He is, h Yeah, by grabbing the tights for a little
271
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.160
roll up. Win. Pete,
you don't get quite well, thank you,
272
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.920
You stay quite well, thank you. So what are your thoughts on
273
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.599
this match? I thought Mojo looked
pretty good, and it surprises me to
274
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:34.279
say that. I think there's a
you can argue it's not great portraying your
275
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:41.119
cham in this fashion in a match
where he basically gets dominated for the entire
276
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.640
match and then steals a win.
But I think, as like a sneaky
277
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:51.480
heel champion, it's fine. They
clearly hired Mojo because they give him a
278
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.599
push. Yeah, definitely. The
crowd were really behind him as well.
279
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.119
I don't know if that's just all
of his mates that he invites to every
280
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.960
taping, but which they were like, Mojo chance, it's not just cheers?
281
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.240
Is that a little bit of he's
against Bo, so he's going to
282
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.920
get cheated, of course, But
not only were their Mojo chants. It
283
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.559
started as no more Bo, and
then he turned them into Mojo chans.
284
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.319
So I think he deserves a fair
better credit he's got, correct, I'll
285
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.400
give it. I was kind of
hoping that you wouldn't like it because of
286
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:26.319
Mojo and Bo and Mojo Ralli v. Bo Dallas. It's like that's guarantee
287
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.720
to be a stinker, you would
say, But it wasn't. This match
288
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.000
was great. I really liked it. Yeah, they nailed. This is
289
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.160
exactly what you do. We've got
two limited wrestlers. The whole story of
290
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.079
the match is keeping them apart and
not letting them work together. Of Mojo
291
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.200
trying to fight Bo, but he
keeps getting away. There's the perfect way
292
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.240
two guys
that can't actually work a
match work a really entertaining match. It
293
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.480
does protect Mojo and sort of keeps
his momentum for another month because he tends
294
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.319
to just appear once every three or
four episodes. But both characters come out
295
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.279
better. Like I know what you're
saying. The healed the chance be in
296
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.279
having a hide from Mojo, Rawley
and wings not great, but it works
297
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.519
specifically with but the Bow Dallas Champion
as Yeah, I see that fair enough.
298
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.279
Yeah, are we changing our tune
on mojor Rawley this year? Is
299
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.240
it going to be redemption that far? Okay, I would go that far,
300
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.920
all right, I would go that
far. I am really enjoying it.
301
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:27.519
I'm far more. The thing that
is letting Mojo around the most is
302
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.200
the people behind the camera. It's
the who ever gave him that finisher and
303
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.759
his deserves to be fired on the
spot. You killed this character, you
304
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.680
gave him zero chance to succeed.
I think the issue will be, as
305
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:47.799
you mentioned, when he actually has
to wrestle a match, because you're praising
306
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:52.400
this match because he didn't wrestle,
and I think when because as a wrestler,
307
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.559
he's going to have to wrestle at
some point, that when we'll see,
308
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.559
Okay, that's why this guy never
went anywhere. Carlie won a title
309
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.359
without ever having to learn how to
wrestle. It's not you know. Would
310
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:10.400
you say he was a good wrestler
though, claim your mate, he was,
311
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.000
he was a champion. I'm not
was he a good wrestler? Jinder
312
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:22.279
Mahal was champed. He's not a
good wrestler. He a he's running up
313
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.039
that hill. Hopefully he'll never get
there. Two wrestlers with things in common
314
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:32.960
there, This is a bit great
anti Hindustan. Hey, look, everyone
315
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.440
from Hindustan is great, even our
listeners. But yeah, we don't know
316
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.119
anything about your listeners. You our
listeners in India might be terrible. We
317
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.200
don't know. Tell us text Pard
at gmail dot com. Are you terrible?
318
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.680
Okay, it's Main Event time next, where Kofi Kingston looks to get
319
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:55.559
some revenge on Alexander Resev after their
match on New Year's Day. But first,
320
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.920
let's meet at the Crucible chocoup our
cues and comment on some bad misses
321
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.559
in the Sports Zone. Yes,
well, we promised you a brilliant match.
322
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:15.519
Giandon twenty twelve three wild no del

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:22.160
rest The entire world was watching do
this read with vocal fry? No,
324
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:32.640
okay, professional the Denver Broncos,
I'm leaving that in. I can read
325
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.559
the whole thing. The Denver Broncos
and Seattle Seahawks win their respective playoff matches.
326
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.400
Why is it written like that?
And we will and we will meet.
327
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.359
I'm just adding words now, and
we'll meet at Super Bowl x L
328
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.759
v III. Do you do a
clean reading your demon voice? The Denver
329
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:56.839
Broncos and Seattle Seahawks win their respective
playoff matches, and we'll meet in Super
330
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.200
Bowl forty eight. Oh nice,
Yeah, very good stuff. Thank you.
331
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:11.240
I appreciate it. Yeah, demon
knows it's numerals. Graham doesn't remember
332
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.680
this one. I was. I
was watching NFL at the time. I
333
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.359
remember this this playoff season. I
was much more a Seahawks fan at this
334
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.920
point than a than a Broncos fan. But moving to Colorado changed that.
335
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.440
Well, yeah, I have a
feeling we watched this. I think I
336
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:30.519
like went to Newcastle and we like
avoided the score and watched it the next
337
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.559
day. It rings a bell.
We we were watching super Memory and alls
338
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:40.599
together around this time. It's what
is just Payton mannings Broncos and Russell Wilson
339
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.200
seahawks, that rings seahawks? Yeah, that sounds right, got a job.
340
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.480
Have we got jokes about either of
them? Let's let's be silly and
341
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.480
say who would win in a fight
between a bronco and a seahawk. I
342
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.720
really know what a seahawks is.
I mean, I think any birds going
343
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.960
to struggle against a hale? But
where again, where is this? I
344
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.799
mean hawks? I mean like,
is this happening in the sea? Which
345
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:17.400
is I don't know who can keep
the head of water the longest or in
346
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.960
the air, in which case the
horse is fucked. Yeah, it's a
347
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:25.400
free fall unless the hawk. No, a hawk can't carry a horse.
348
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:30.200
That only happens in cartoons. Sports. Cristiano Ronaldo is named the winner of
349
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:37.519
the twenty thirteen FIFA ballon d or
ending Lionel Messes win streak Golden balloon only
350
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:42.400
Yeah
pretty much. Isn't it just
like the golden foot or something? Isn't
351
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:52.240
that gold golden ball? Golden ball? Remember golden Well? David Beckham was
352
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:59.519
thinking of the game. Shott also
a great, great memory. I see
353
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.480
Jasper it much can't he can't have
made it across the pond, Jasper carrot.
354
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.599
No, no, although all Americans
assumed that English people are called things
355
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:15.920
like Jasper Garrett Wilfred turn Up.
Yeah, mister bean, mister bean,
356
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.359
of course. Yeah, the most
popular of the vegetable based British people.
357
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.759
I did, I did look this
up, and it is an award that
358
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.240
was only around for like six years
or something like. It's it's no longer
359
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:32.079
a thing. The thief one.
Oh, okay, who does it now?
360
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.880
Is it? Yeah? Uh,
it's because it's it's a French liquid,
361
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.839
isn't it? Isn't it their awards? It's a French award because it
362
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.839
has been going a long time because
like people in like the seventies are winning
363
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.640
it. Okay, but they used
to not let non European. It used
364
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.440
to be European players only that were
allowed, like Pelle. I don't think
365
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:57.279
ever won one Maridonna because they weren't
European. They were from south of the
366
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:02.039
border, Central America, south of
your border. Yeah yeah, you're Indian
367
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:10.839
Canada, just a stone throw away
from Indiana. Yeah. Uh, Indiana's
368
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:17.279
favorite son just pretey specific links.
That's gotta be Larry Bird, Indiana's favorite
369
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.759
Larry Bird. You know more about
Indiana than wait, parks and recreations.
370
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.319
That that's why. And I know
that in that Larry Bird is the Who's
371
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.559
Yeah but yeah, okay, it
makes you feel better, but yeah,
372
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:38.519
who's your? Who? Who's your? I'm not getting an av come to
373
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:47.319
ten xt for comedy routines that are
eighty years old than the rest. Freakl
374
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.880
can do his music called gags,
I can, that's true true sports.
375
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:59.240
Vladimir Putin cautions gay people should not
spread gay propaganda when visiting Sochi for the
376
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:07.160
winter. What's yeah, you're you're
more in the LGBTQ. Sure? Sure?
377
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:12.200
What is gay propaganda? I honestly
don't know, because I think to
378
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.839
even spread propaganda you need to be
the controlling power of something. And I
379
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.519
really don't remember the old gay Supreme
courts and all of the gay presidents we've
380
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:26.000
had. I just think this is
massively rich coming from Vladimir Putin, who,
381
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.039
in my mind, if I was
interpreting what gay propaganda is, all
382
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:36.720
of his photo shoots are gay propaganda
to the river. If I was to
383
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.279
guess at what gay propaganda is,
I'd say it's what the photos that Vladimir
384
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:45.400
Putin takes on a regular basis.
You gotta laugh at this ship because what
385
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.240
the yeah, oh my god,
I think that just means being gay.
386
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:56.920
That's existing because when he sees people
be gay, he wants to be gay,
387
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.599
and so he's like, well,
obviously that's not me being gay.
388
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.839
That's the gay propaganda in infecting my
mind because I'm not gay. I'm big
389
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:08.519
tough Vladimir Putin, big gay.
Yeah, yeah, we can say that
390
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:15.359
because we've got no Russian listeners.
Yes, yes, there's no way of
391
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:21.000
it coming back to buy me big
sports. Okay, back on NXT.
392
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:26.880
It's a main event rematch, main
roster Kofi Kingston versus NXT's Alexander russev Graham.
393
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.200
You also used to do a Jamaican
accent in the two thousands. What
394
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.319
did you think of our main events? Yes, ma'am, no, that's
395
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:41.839
so bad. It's not even offensive
that Irish. I've got to go Little
396
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.319
Jacob, Who's That's That's why I
need to keep my brain in remember little
397
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.680
Jacob GTA four side character. No, no, sorry, little Jacob sorry,
398
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:56.440
one of gta's more racist characters,
probably voiced by somebody from the the
399
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:05.440
Aisles. Fucking terrible, really absolute
dog shit. I agreed with the crowd.
400
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:10.119
The first half of this match was
just so dull, like, why
401
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:15.480
on earth are they still booking Ruscev
like this? I have half a memory
402
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.200
of not liking Rusp on NXT and
not liking when he got brought up because
403
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.119
is it this rumble He's going to
be a surprise entrance of I think so,
404
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:27.960
yeah, I think, why the
hell is this dude getting any time
405
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.519
he may even because yeah, is
this is the Brian rumble right where Brian
406
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.839
gets eliminated. I'm talking about anything
that is Yeah, twenty fourteen definitely is
407
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.240
that this is this is monster.
At one point, Rucev does to feed
408
00:32:40.319 -->
00:32:44.599
me more chance, which Craik he
knows why that happened. I think he
409
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:46.960
does it by accident. He says
more. I thought the crowd. He
410
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:53.079
doesn't say it because he does the
arms he does, so the crowd like,
411
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:59.240
feed me more Okay, we'll chant
that right back right, copyright that
412
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:06.880
pan Jack stir as well. Then
he then he gets goldberg chance. Then
413
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:10.559
I think the goldbergs turn into boring
chance. Then it's a Mexican wave,
414
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:16.359
yes, which which one of the
commentators tries to say the crowd are trying
415
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:24.559
to get behind Kofi Kingston Byron sandbags
because not He's like, what by doing
416
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:32.000
the wave? It's not happening good
on Byron. There are some impressive power
417
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:36.640
spots that happened after that, lots
of good catching coffee and lots of like
418
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:39.880
the stuff you expect from Ruth said, but they just lost me by then
419
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:46.440
dull KICKI punchy as soon as you're
doing the vice script? Why you wasted
420
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:51.680
time having that? Such a classic
nineteen eighties Rest told me? Isn't it
421
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.440
a vice? And to top it
all off, you have the main roster
422
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.680
guy get his heat back against the
NXT heel like star that you're trying to
423
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.680
build. Yeah, So like the
match didn't even do anything, so terrible
424
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.480
end to this show. Terrible.
Yeah, and clearly the crowd agreed with
425
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:13.679
you because of all the distractions.
Pete, what did you make of this
426
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.400
match? It's two guys I like, but I completely agree. I thought
427
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.199
this was really poor, Like this
slow, plodding affair is what I've got,
428
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:29.400
just really dull. And it's disappointing
because we know that these guys are
429
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.719
both capable of so much more.
But I think what they're doing with Russev
430
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:38.079
is booking him like a nineteen eighties
foreign heel, yeah, and that's not
431
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:43.039
what he's good at, Like he
can do it, obviously, but at
432
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.559
the same time, we saw in
his early matches he's best to like explosive
433
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:52.320
agility, like that's what makes him
different. And yeah, it just didn't
434
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.119
work for me. The crowd turned
on it, and yeah, I can
435
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.639
completely understand why. Yeah, with
it being in the main event spot,
436
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:01.719
it's the it's the one that's getting
time. I think we've definitely had worst
437
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:06.920
main events on NXT, but you
can see why they'd be bored with something
438
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:08.960
that has a bit of heat to
it. They've built a brucev a lot
439
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.119
Coffee's a mid card star on the
main roster, Like it definitely should be
440
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:17.519
more exciting. I do wonder if
this match did a lot to actually contribute
441
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:22.440
to Russev's call up, like in
a weird way, because although it's boring,
442
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.719
this is a very classic sort of
fifteen minute how sure mid card match
443
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:29.840
that like I'm sure Vince will have
seen and gone, oh yep, he's
444
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:35.320
ready to face He's ready to have
fifteen minute matches. Unlike Mason Ryan insert
445
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.039
all the other monsters who aren't ready
yet, so it's like, at least
446
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.559
he can work fifteen minutes. Vince
could give a fuck what the crowd things,
447
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.639
no, it could come on.
They're doing a wave for him,
448
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:52.840
waving. They also get a tense
ie sucks chance started as well. Albert,
449
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.760
he's trying. Since you mentioned Albert. At one point in this match,
450
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.760
he says he was rolling around with
Kofe and then like Tom Phillips like
451
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.360
says, what do you mean by
that? And he says, oh,
452
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:08.679
you know, I was just you
know, lying on top of him,
453
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.719
applying pressure to certain areas just so
that he could see what it felt like.
454
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:20.360
What is talking about? Sounds like
gay propaganda to me, Like,
455
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.920
I don't know if he was deliberately
try Like why would you say that if
456
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.800
you weren't trying to deliberately be sexual? Yeah, that's what I like?
457
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.320
Why did he? But why?
What? Just the commentations ignore it.
458
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:35.599
Tovin Byron not interested. Moving on, that's for the best. I think
459
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:38.519
we can do the same. Yeah, we could do the same, and
460
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:42.840
we can read the finish. Lana
tries to distract Kofe again, just like
461
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.880
in their last match, but this
time it backfires and Kofe hits the Trouble
462
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.840
in Paradise to beat Rusev in a
fifteen minute match. All right, and
463
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.559
that does it for another episode of
NXT. And that just about does it
464
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:58.880
for this episode of NXT. Thank

468
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:15.159
positive vibes thing, we really appreciate
it, and now we give our ratings
469
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:19.639
for this episode. I think,
uh, Graham, we're going to start
470
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.000
with you, because I want to
know what a lot of shit is about
471
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:28.920
this match? Don this this episode. I really enjoyed watching until the main
472
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.679
event, which with Rusev Kofe.
Like you said, Pete, like that's
473
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:36.840
such a good main event on paper
like this, I thought we were going
474
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:38.480
to get a big score. I
thought this was going to be okay,
475
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:42.880
we're back on track. We could
be seeing like I was, if this
476
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.400
match could delivered, maybe an eight
was on the card, because I honestly
477
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:52.679
I don't like backstage segments in general, having zero of them. That's fine.
478
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.360
I really didn't miss them. Yeah, and you've got you've got a
479
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.239
mode. You managed to get Mojo
Bow to have a match that I sure.
480
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.159
Yeah, watching how they fumbled this
episode so bad, I'm going to
481
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:07.719
give it a five and a half. And it's a generous five and a
482
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.280
half with this main event, Okay, I think I mean the opener was
483
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.679
the opener was good, right,
that was that was good. Opener was
484
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.719
great, opener was great. The
Jason Jordan thing was nothing. The Mojo
485
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:22.000
Bow like it did exactly what the
best it could have done in the situation.
486
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.719
This match was is one of the
worst NXT matches I think they've done.
487
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:30.400
Like, I think it's genuinely negative. Annals Worthy when we get to
488
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.239
that, Okay, hated this match. If that's not coming across. Look,
489
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:38.440
the crowd agreed with you. Five
point five there from Graham. What
490
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:42.800
have you got, Pete? I
think that the first the first match was
491
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.559
was very good as you say,
and just let down by the main event
492
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:51.639
and maybe not as hot on the
Mojo Bo match as you. I think
493
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:58.679
it did what it could. But
when you the matches them avoiding wrestling,
494
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.760
there is a limit how good.
Be I think honestly, a five is
495
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:07.079
fair. I'm not too keen on
backstage segments either, because they're usually not
496
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:14.079
that interesting either. Yeah, yeah, it's from left. Yeah, yeah,
497
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:16.280
I wish I could defend them and
say, but that's how character development
498
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.800
happens and stories get across. But
it's it's kind of not been that the
499
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:22.480
past few months. To be honest, they had they had a hot streak
500
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.840
in sort of the summer last year
where I love the backstage segments, but
501
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.239
yeah, I can't even defend the
lack of them that we had this episode.
502
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.960
I'm going I'm going with six because
I really enjoyed the opening match.
503
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.760
I thought, yes, this is
what twenty fourteen is all about. You
504
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.280
guys won me over on the Bob
Morjoe in terms of it being great for
505
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.760
protecting both of those characters. So
yeah, I'm gonna give a six,
506
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.119
which are five point five is our
average for this episode. We're getting there,
507
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.880
that's an improvement. Yeah, a
few weeks time will be ten out
508
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.119
of ten. Yeah, keeping this
right, a few weeks times arrival,
509
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:02.800
right, so it's yeah, I
think this right, It could could be
510
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:07.639
hitting that by arrival. Uh yeah, be curious to see how we how
511
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:22.920
we rate arrival and finally honor legacy, tradition, history will earn a permanent
512
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:32.119
spot in the Annals of History Annals
is anything from this this episode with a
513
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:37.480
shocking main event going inside the annals
of NXT history, we have now created
514
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:45.239
a mini fridge inside the annals.
In the fridge, it's yes, of
515
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:53.519
course, the Connor Cooler, as
it will now be called. But are
516
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:58.400
we having anything anything going in the
annals? Anything in the doldrums? Graham?
517
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.679
You may have suggested the main event
is doldrumsworthy. It could be bookended
518
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:07.400
by like annals worthy stuff. The
first match could be good Animals and the
519
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.239
last match could definitely be Doldrums.
Yeah are we Are we saying at the
520
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.159
announcement of an XT arrival like the
first the announcement of the first pay per
521
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.320
view? Is that like a historic
moment. I don't think we're that much
522
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:24.719
of marks. I gotta float these
things out. The launch of the network
523
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.760
scene an eleven or six pm corporate
daddy. Maybe the main event, if
524
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:36.199
it wasn't dol Drums would be like
everyone turns on the main event because it's
525
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.239
like commentary, it's the crowd.
It's us. We have never seen a
526
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:45.159
crowd do that. That is that
is true. We've not seeing the NXT
527
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:50.920
crowd shift against the match. I
don't know whether it was quite bad enough,
528
00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:55.760
like it was boring, but it
wasn't like completely inept. Yeah,
529
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:01.559
but I think that's part of it. To me. This wasn't too This
530
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:06.199
wasn't like the Ascension going up against
of and Comaptu and they put on a
531
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:07.320
stink of for ten minutes. It's
like, come on, what did you
532
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:13.320
expect? This is two really good
wrestlers just stinking the joint up and losing
533
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:16.679
the crowd in a way that we've
not seen before. I will vote that
534
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:21.599
for Doldrums, but I won't get
you know, this won't be This won't
535
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.960
cause a rift in our friendship forever. At least that's what I'm going to
536
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:30.159
say. I'm tempted to back it
for doll Drums under the thing of like,
537
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:35.119
yeah, like everyone turns on the
main event or something along those lines
538
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.960
of like it's not the match itself. I don't want to put the match
539
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.280
into the doldrums because it was,
like like Pete said, just boring,
540
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:45.480
not bad, but it was the
whole vibe in the room was just like,
541
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.639
this is not good television did a
Mexican wave. We did a Mexican
542
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:53.559
wave. Can we say that,
Yeah, we're English, we can say
543
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:57.679
Mexican wave. We're giving credit to
the nation that invented it. Can get
544
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.519
all yourselves, America. But yeah, all right, I'm popping it in.
545
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:05.480
It's going we can we can discuss
at the end of the year as
546
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:07.880
always, but I'm gonna put everyone
turns on the main event. Yeah.
547
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:10.199
I think that's the that's a good
way to do it. That's fine.
548
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.840
Mr Joe Rawley and Bor Dallas had
a better matches, had a better match
549
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:43.239
than Ruce even Corfe Kington that you
should be m m m m m
