WEBVTT
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.880
Hello everybody, welcome to tonight's episode of the Not Your Average Mark Wrestling Podcast.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.359
I am your host, the tutorial Mos Guapo.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.880
With me, as always, the one, the only, the man, the myth, the legend, and any other words you can come up with.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.039
And some of them I've heard, and they're not very nice.
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:54.560
I just want you to know that.
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:55.920
Mike Caldwell.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.280
Mike, what's up, buddy?
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.359
Hey, how's it going, man?
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:00.399
It's been a day.
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.200
It's been a day all day.
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:07.599
In fact.
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.079
As you can see, I got my hoodie on because Mother Nature finally decided that it might actually be October.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.519
A little chilly here in Lubbock, Texas.
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.239
So it's been a pretty cool week in wrestling.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.439
Um, before we get into it, of course, I want to get some thank yous in.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.799
I want to say thank you to Ross and the boys from Labor 12 for our intro outro music.
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.200
Tracks called Head Rush, albums called Monsters.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.879
They have some really cool stuff going on.
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:42.640
Like they're working on music videos, they're putting out a second album, and they're keeping everybody posted on their progress at their website, labor12.com.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.959
That's labor xi.com.
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.840
Um, I want to say thank you to Joe and American Legacy for the not your average merch.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.840
We got all sorts of cool stuff that you can find on our website or live shows.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.079
Uh, thank you to Jreb's 3D printing.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:57.760
You see this little piece of awesome right here.
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.799
That is the J Reb original, my boy Cameron hooking it up.
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:08.639
If you've got a logo or any other picture type thing you'd like to have in a light box like this, then hit him up, JRebs3Dprinting.com.
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:17.360
I want to say thank you to Blind Ambition Studios for all our awesome graphics and the wrestling society.com for including us in their podcast room.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:24.560
And of course, the one that makes all of this work and makes our uh website look really, really cool or our our podcast look really, really cool.
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.639
I hope everybody's digging the new design.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.159
Uh, the guy, Patrick.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:29.360
Thank you for what you do.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.439
Uh, want to get an idea of what he does?
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.479
Look at the screen.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.879
He's uh he's reworked the layout of our podcast.
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.599
He's put together our website, www.notyouravage mark.com.
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.159
Uh, you can check that out, find bios, find out where we're gonna be, all the good stuff.
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.759
And our newest and most fun thing, the uh Discord.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.560
We have a Discord available for all of our fans.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:58.560
All you have to do is go to any of our socials, click the about section, and you can find the link to our Discord.
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.560
We do watch alongs for Raw, for SmackDown, for PLEs.
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.680
Uh, we've done one for NXT, which was awesome.
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.919
We've we even did one for the Cloud Show.
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.599
Uh, it's a lot of fun.
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.879
We it's a it's another platform to sit and talk wrestling with everybody.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.639
So make sure you check out the Discord.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.919
And now it's time to talk some wrestling.
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:21.520
Let's do this.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.400
So let's start with some SmackDown.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.400
Smackdown started off pretty well.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:35.199
Uh course, our champion Cody starting the show, but gets quickly interrupted by the angry Scotsman, Drew McIntyre.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.439
Drew not getting on to Cody, though.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.080
No, no, no.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:46.240
Drew getting onto the crowd, saying they are accomplices in what Cody's doing, in the mistakes Cody's making, which is terrible.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.199
Like, you don't want to turn on the crowd.
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:55.840
Um, he also said that it was not him that hurt Jacob Fatto.
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:02.240
He didn't do it, had nothing to do with it, but maybe it was Jimmy.
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:04.000
I'm sorry.
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.319
Now, where he got that from, I don't know.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.840
I don't know why he went straight for Jimmy, but this did bring out Big Jim and the rumble ensued.
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.319
We got all sorts of fighting going on there.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.439
Uh, the MFTs come out and just kind of watch because you know they got the next match.
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.800
Um it's interesting to me where they're going with this.
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.839
Of course, Saturday night's main event coming up Saturday.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.800
We do have Cody versus Drew.
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.759
Why Jim is getting mixed up in all of this?
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.199
I'm not 100% though.
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.199
Like that kind of threw me for a loop.
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.199
What do you think, Mike?
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:49.120
Well, it seems to me that I mean, I mean, not to not to play flash forward or anything like that, but uh we we seem to have Jimmy Uso in a lot of things.
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:54.480
I mean, he's like inserted himself pretty much everywhere right now.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.120
Yeah, I agree with that.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.839
He's kind of all over the place, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:11.519
No, it's getting it's he's he has 100% visibility at this moment in time, which is you know something, you know.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.800
If he's involved in the storylines, they're gonna be talking about him.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.759
Which is a good thing, yes.
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:26.720
Uh, as I said, the MFTs come out, and uh we've got I'm watching the the chat here.
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.120
Uh Dark Side Link, what's up, brother?
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:30.399
Saying I like the new look.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.279
Thank you very much.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:40.800
Uh our uh esteemed guy put in the work on that, and it looks awesome.
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.639
Like I'm I'm digging it.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:51.279
It it definitely is, it's a lot different, and it's it looks a little special.
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.279
He does need to change the current topic though, because we're not quite to Raw yet.
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.480
We're we're still working on SmackDown, but uh there it is.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.560
Uh do we like the old school SmackDown logo or what?
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.439
Like that's probably my favorite SmackDown logo.
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:15.040
Uh we got Jello in the chat saying Jim seems to want to get involved with everybody's business.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.680
This is true, but again, 100% visibility.
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.519
That's that's a good thing.
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.240
I misclicked the button.
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:25.199
Whoopsie.
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.759
Um MFTs versus Ray Phoenix and Shinsuke Nakamura.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.000
So glad to see Shinsuke Nakamura back on uh on SmackDown.
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:42.800
Like I honestly thought he was going to be gone for a while doing the whole Japan thing, so I was really, really happy to see that he's back.
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:45.600
I agree.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.519
I mean, he's he's an asset to the company.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.120
And him being back involved and on television again is definitely a good thing.
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.360
Um being with Ray Phoenix.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.519
I don't know if the chemistry is really there completely, but yeah, I mean, it was a thing.
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.079
I mean, it it worked for the match.
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:19.120
I don't I think there needs to be some serious work if they're going to move forward as a tag team, but I don't really feel like they are.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:28.000
Um at the moment, I feel like Ray Phoenix is uh partners to anybody whose name is not Penta.
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:29.920
Yes.
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:32.240
Agreed.
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.240
Which I mean, it works out.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.480
Like he's had some really, really good matches.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.000
Uh Aaron Marie in the chat.
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:38.800
What's up, Aaron?
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:40.560
Glad you could join us tonight.
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.040
Um I don't know.
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.680
This this match worked well for what it was.
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:54.079
Uh, you see the MFTs come out, you're expecting squash match, but it wasn't, which is great.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.360
Like, that's but things are happening here.
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.160
Hold on.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.439
I don't know what just happened there.
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:03.600
My screen freaked out for a minute.
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:04.319
My bad.
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.120
Um, you're expecting MFTs to come out and just like run roughshod, and they didn't.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:18.079
Like, they got a hell of a match out of Ray Phoenix and Shinsuke and Nakamura, and I think that may be my favorite part of this is they didn't do the squash match.
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.000
Yeah, for sure.
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:26.720
See, Dark Side Lane, hooking it up, giving us double the views, one on Twitch, one on YouTube.
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.959
He clicked all the things.
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:30.079
There you go.
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.680
Appreciate the dark side.
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.159
That's how we do it around here.
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.240
That's how we do things around here.
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:44.240
Uh, in the end, of course, uh you had solo secoa cause the interference.
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.360
Get interfered.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:46.320
Yeah.
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:47.919
Let's try that again.
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:49.200
English, take two.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.600
Solo Sokoa.
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.200
Interfering and causing a distraction, which allows the MFTs to get the win.
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:01.600
Uh oh, that is that I'm looking over at the chat.
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.480
Something that uh I didn't get the opportunity to say earlier.
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:12.480
We are on the green streaming platform as well, a platform I don't know that I can say while we're on the podcast.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.840
Like the guy's gonna have to let me know if I'm allowed to say that.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.799
But uh there is another streaming platform that's very similar to the one we're currently on, and we're on that one too.
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.840
So um Go gadget.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.279
Patrick, you'll have to let me know if I'm allowed to say that I can say that?
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:29.919
Okay, good.
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.960
Uh yeah, we're on kick also, if you guys want to see that.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.559
Um, we've added that to our list of places you can watch the show.
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.240
Yes, a text and tag team podcast saying, and on Facebook.
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.440
We're all over the place.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:54.639
What we got Facebook, we've got our website, we've got Twitch, we've got Kik, we've got YouTube, like you can catch us all over the place.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:00.960
Um the MFTs, let's talk about them for a second.
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:07.759
I believe that the face paint was the move.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.159
Uh, granted, they're never, I don't think they're ever gonna refer to them as the Gorillas of Destiny.
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:22.240
No, but putting on the Gorillas of Destiny paint not only popped fans like me, like you, uh it makes them stand out.
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.080
And I think that's what they needed.
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:34.720
Like the MFTs were a thing, but now people pay a little more attention because you know they've got the face faint and they they seem like more of a group now.
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.320
What do you think?
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.080
I agree.
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.399
Look, you can't be on and on my podcast, bro.
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.240
Hey, my bad.
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.360
I'm heavily medicated.
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.399
Forgive me.
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.120
Medicated, dedicated, hell, it's all the same.
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.639
Um there you go.
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.240
But yeah, I do agree.
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.120
I I'm I'm digging the face paint.
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:05.519
Um I feel like that gives them a little bit different of an aura.
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:06.879
It does.
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:07.440
It does.
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.679
And like I said, it it it brings them together as a team.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:22.080
Where before you had you had Tama Tanga, you had Tala Tanga, you had Tonga Loa, like you had all these people, but they were just kind of a thrown-together group.
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:27.679
This feels like a team, and and I like where they're going with it.
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.759
I don't think it's gonna be too long before we see gold on some of the MFTs.
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.200
Just my personal thoughts.
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.120
So MFT stands for my family tree, right?
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:45.759
Mother Tongans.
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:46.879
Oh, okay.
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.159
That makes that that makes all the difference because no, it does stand for my family tree.
00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:00.399
I I've heard Solo say my MFTs, and it's like, why are you saying my twice, dude?
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.320
My my family tree.
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.799
See, it works better that way.
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.799
My mother can tonguins.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.080
That's what it's gonna be for me.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:14.639
Yep.
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:15.279
There you go.
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:21.919
Moving on to the next match, we've got Keanu James versus Tiffany Stratton non-title match.
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.200
I like what they're doing with Keanu James.
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:33.120
Like, I think people forget that while she's really good in the managerial role she has right now with Julia, she can go.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.840
Like she always has been able to.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.120
Right.
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.600
Well, I mean, this is one that they ran back from NXT whenever they were they were over there.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:50.799
And it it dang good match, really, really meshed well together.
00:12:51.039 --> 00:13:02.720
And uh yeah, Keona James being the player coach that she is at this moment in time is a good thing for her because that keeps the spotlight on her in several different occasions.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.120
No, I agree with that.
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:12.240
Uh, so you having been in the business for a minute, I was gonna say you haven't been doing this long, but let's face it, you have.
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:23.919
Um how often do you see something like this where you know Tiffany Stratton's been what a year, year and a half, almost two years on the main roster?
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:24.720
Uh-huh.
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.399
And you have Keanu James, who's just recently moved up.
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:36.879
How often do you see that kind of change and them immediately be able to go back to the same chemistry they had when they were both wrestling in XT?
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:56.159
Oh, I mean, there there are certain people that that I I got in the ring with during my first few years in in the business, and then you know, it was 10 it was a 10-year gap, and then we ended up getting in the ring again, and it was like we never missed a step.
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.600
So it is it is somewhat common to see something like this then.
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.399
Oh, for sure.
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.000
Because they they had an amazing match, like the chemistry was there.
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:17.840
The only problem I have with it, and this is gonna sound this is because I like you know, analyzing characters, the glasses, Deanna James glasses.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.960
She made it a point that she doesn't need them and all that.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:27.120
So it seems like they're just using glasses to make her look smart because she's supposed to be the smart manager and all of that.
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.559
I don't like it.
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.399
She doesn't need that.
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.360
She can go, she doesn't need the I'm smart because I'm wearing glasses gimmick.
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:59.279
I don't I mean, that may be what they're doing, but that I mean several of the uh demographic that they're trying to grab thinks that that has that you know somebody that looks like that that's wearing glasses has that whole librarian look, and it and it possibly is gonna get them to tune in.
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.519
Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong.
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:08.320
I was trying to be as as look, I'm not gonna be PC about I I'm not even gonna try to be PC about it.
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:13.600
She's hot, and the glasses is hot too, but I I don't think she needs that gimmick.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.840
Like she has the talent to not have to have a gimmick like that, you know what I mean?
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:19.200
For sure.
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.519
He's trying to be all PC.
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.559
Well, it was an appreciated thing appreciated.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:36.159
Um we had a United States championship open challenge.
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:43.039
You know, we saw, I think it was last week, Sammy Zayn lost the title to a returning Ilya Dragunoff.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.360
Dragonov, Dragonoff.
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:59.039
Um I'm happy to see that Ilya's keeping the open challenge going, even though Sammy's, you know, Sammy's the one that got the okay to go it go ahead and do it from Cena.
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.919
Ilya's gonna keep it going, and I like that.
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:26.000
I I do too, but uh I want to back you up just a little bit because we missed a big story point from the Keanu James Tiffany Stratton deal, and that was the fact that that we got our we got our match for Saturday night's main event out of the situation, whenever Jade came out, rescued Tiffany Stratton, and then turned on her.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.720
Which you had to see coming.
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:33.120
I mean, those two have been like, we're friends, we're friends, we're friends, we're friends.
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.320
You knew that that car was finna crash.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.200
Oh, I I I totally saw Jade.
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.600
As soon as I saw Jade, I was like, oh, this is it's on now.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:49.120
And uh I I it got me almost to think, okay, maybe they're not.
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.919
And then about that time she closed lined the shit out of her.
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.639
So it was it was it was on at that point.
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.759
And like you said, that gives us our match at Saturday Night's Main event, which is going to be a good one.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:06.640
Uh Jello in the chat saying, My big issue is that the whole thing took the spotlight off of Julia where it should be.
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.480
I mean, I can I can see that.
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.440
Like, I mean, she is she's the champ.
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:25.440
I don't, I don't I don't know why she doesn't have more matches than she currently does.
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.720
I'm not I'm not certain with that either.
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:34.640
I know I know maybe they're trying to work in storytelling with this whole situation.
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:47.119
Uh I'd kind of like to go ahead and and find out what their writers' drug of choice is and and tell them to go ahead and use a little bit more of it so they can tell more in that story.
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.400
But uh I like it and share.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.880
The Not the Average Mike Wrestling Podcast does not condone you drug use of any kind.
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.319
Without drug.
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:01.200
Just for coffee.
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.559
Coffee's good.
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.599
Coffee is good, coffee is always good.
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.319
Um, like I said, United States Championship Open Challenge.
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.920
Uh Alistair Black coming out with his wife, Selena Vega, answering the challenge.
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:21.039
Um, this was a really good match.
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:34.240
Like I didn't know, just given given what you see from Ilyad Dragonoff, I didn't know if there was gonna be chemistry there with Aleister Black, but I was impressed.
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.480
Like I thought it was really good.
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:38.880
Very hard-hitting match.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:45.519
And I think they actually went like like 16 minutes, something, something of that nature.
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.759
15, 16, something like that.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:56.079
And uh Zelina Vega managed to get herself gone, ref center to the back.
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:03.440
I'm I'm really digging the the Zelina Vega Alistair Black combination.
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:18.880
My only problem with them having Alistair Black and Zelina Vega out, you know, this is my wife, we're on television together, is they got rid of Carrie and Cross and Scarlet just a little too soon.
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:23.119
Can you imagine what we could have done with that?
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:36.799
Well, they got rid of Carrie and Cross and Scarlett so they could switch gears to go with Black and go with Alistair Black and uh and his wife.
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.319
And while I understand that, think about that for a second, though.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:46.400
You've got Alistair Black and Zelina Vega, and then you have Carrie and Cross and Scarlet.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.119
Like that's a match made all by itself.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.960
I agree, I agree with Jell O.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.119
Um.
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:14.319
And the only thing I'm gonna say, and it's it may break a couple of people's hearts, but uh Alistair Black bumps better than bumps better than Cross.
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.079
I mean, you're not he does bump better than Cross.
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:25.440
Cross has some, in my opinion, better moves in the ring.
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.880
He's got more of an assortment of moves, I should say.
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.599
But Alistair Black does bump better than Carrying Cross.
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.559
I'll I'll give you that one for sure.
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:47.039
Um at the end of this match, of course, after Zelina Vegas sent to the back, Damian Priest comes out because he's still not real thrilled with Alistair Black and wanted to make sure he was well aware of that fact.
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:52.240
Uh, which of course gets Alistair Black uh gets the match thrown out.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.000
Your champion is still Ilya Dragonov.
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:57.119
Yes.
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:05.680
I hope at some point we get the three of them in the ring together.
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.119
That'd be a hell of a match, man.
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:14.400
Alistair Black, Ilya Dragonov, and Damian Priest in a triple threat.
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.839
I'm gonna talk about a hard-hitting match.
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.279
I can see that being a survivor series match, possibly.
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.039
Bring it on.
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:25.839
Like, I would love to see that.
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.559
That brings us to our main event.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:32.799
Big Jim, Jimmy Uso versus Drew McIntyre.
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.720
Now, I'm not gonna lie, I didn't get a chance to see much of this one.
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.160
Did you, Mike?
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.359
I did, but I didn't.
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.160
Um, I listened to a lot of commentary.
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.720
Um I'm gonna let you talk about this one then, because I didn't get to see much of this one.
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.680
Um Big Jim kind of showed out.
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:54.799
He he did.
00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:01.279
Um but ultimately, ultimately, this was Drew's match to win.
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:14.799
Because he is in the he is in the main picture, he is the one that's going against Cody Rhodes at Saturday night's main event, so it made complete sense for Drew McIntyre to get the W on this on this situation.
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.720
It does.
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.920
I mean But Jimmy did not go down without a fight.
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.400
And and I like that.
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:34.720
I like the fact that there while Jim's not winning a whole lot of matches right now, he's not he's not losing a whole lot of matches either, if that makes sense.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:41.920
Like he may get the L in the book, but his performance in the ring is good.
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.160
Strong.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:56.000
Very and it still goes back to the whole deal where Jimmy Uso is involved with CM Punk J.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:56.559
Uso.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:03.279
CM Punk or uh Jimmy Uso is also involved with Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:12.000
You know, he's in the main event circle at this moment in time, like I was like I was saying earlier.
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:20.319
But uh does that is that something that that they're trying to tell?
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.480
Uh we will have to wait and find out, see what happens.
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.759
I hope that it is.
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.680
Like I feel like Jim deserves that.
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.079
You know, we've got main event J Uso, who's had his push, who's had his championship.
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.079
I wouldn't mind seeing Jim in the main event picture.
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:43.119
And with everything going on, let me play, let me let me paint for you a word picture.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.440
Um we go to Saturday night's main event.
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.079
You got Punk versus Main Event J Uso.
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:55.519
Jey Uso wins uh Survivor series, or maybe a little further down the road.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.000
I don't know.
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.559
We end up with Jimmy versus Jay for the tile.
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:04.400
How great would that be?
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:05.519
Oh, it's good.
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:08.079
That's it's coming.
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.519
If that's if that's the road they take, then it's coming.
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:33.599
But honestly, I feel there's there's a lot of a lot of things that still need to happen for for the November PLE that have not yet.
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:34.640
That's true.
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:35.839
That's very true.
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:49.920
We we I mean we've we've seen MFTs uh teased with the Wyatt 6, which could be a possible war game situation or it could be a classic Survivor Series match.
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.839
Which I'm interested to see what I I mean they're gonna do a war games match.
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:56.880
You already know that.
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:03.279
But I wonder if they are gonna do a classic, you know, five on five Survivor Series match.
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:05.920
Well, it'd be a four-on-four.
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:08.799
Well, yeah.
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:15.359
Unless they weren't unless they were gonna get Shinsuke in the mix with the Wyatt Six.
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:20.400
Which I mean he would almost fit, honestly.
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:24.240
I could see it.
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.759
All in all, I thought SmackDown was pretty good.
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:33.359
Um it built well to what we've got going on with Saturday night's main event.
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.720
Uh, granted, not the go-home show, but a good building show.
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:38.319
I'd give it an A.
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:39.839
I dug it.
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:52.960
Um there was some story points that move things forward.
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.400
But all in all, I'd I'd possibly say B plus.
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.960
A respectable B plus at that.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.079

Let's do this.
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.640
I was pretty impressed with Raw.
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.880
I enjoyed watching this.
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:37.039
Uh before I get too far into it, uh Jell O saying, don't forget NXT put on an excellent Halloween Havoc.
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.759
They absolutely did put on a great Halloween Havoc.
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.880
Like, it was a good show.
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:54.400
And I don't have my notes here for that, but that is something that we'll be talking about maybe on the next podcast.
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:58.880
We may talk a little bit about the implications of Halloween havoc.
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.759
Um, with Raw, though, we got a chance to see main event Jay Uso come out.
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:09.279
And it only took him like 25 minutes because, you know, had to run it back.
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:18.240
Um he gets in the ring and he starts talking about Romans in my ear and zingies in my ear, and everybody's mama's in my ear.
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.000
Everybody wants to be in my ear while I'm finally listening to me.
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:29.839
And he starts in on it, and and I'm still waiting for my royalties from uh CM Punk, by the way.
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.000
Uh, what am I talking about?
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.839
I'm glad you asked.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:36.160
Jay gets ready to do his thing.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:40.480
He says, four letters, one word, uh-uh.
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:45.839
The record scratch hits, and I say, four letters, one word, uh-uh, punk.
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.200
And out comes CM Punk.
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.319
And CM Punk does what you didn't expect him to do.
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:57.680
He gets in the ring, of course, the whole crowd singing uh cult of personality because it's an awesome song.
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.880
Music fades off.
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.920
He goes to uh put the mic to his mouth and he stops.
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:08.480
And he says, And he lurks around and does it one more time.
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:12.880
They start the music back up, and I'm like, all right, I see what you're doing there.
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:16.079
And so he tells Jay, he's like, I'm sorry I stole your stuff, okay?
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:16.720
My bad.
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:20.480
But uh, four letters, one word, punk.
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:22.240
So I said that first.
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.920
I'm gonna need my royalties from uh Mr.
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:26.640
Punk.
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:28.960
My people will call your people.
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:32.880
Uh well, just just tell him directly.
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.720
He's you know he's watching the podcast.
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.960
I mean, why wouldn't of course CM Punk's watching the podcast?
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:40.160
Why wouldn't he be?
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.640
Um I like where they went with this.
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.720
Like I may hurt some feelings with this.
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:55.519
I don't know, but I'm a fan, everybody knows I'm a fan of Main Event J U, so and I'm a fan of CM Punk.
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:59.599
But it really seemed to me that CM Punk was carrying this face.
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:01.200
Space promo.
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:09.680
Like he was setting everything up for Jay to have a great promo and things to say.
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:22.000
And you know, he's like, I see the drive in you, and I and I know I can see that you're hungry, like I'm hungry, and you're finally listening to yourself, and you can do this, and we're gonna have this match, and blah blah blah blah blah.
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.279
And the only response we got from Jay was, you know what?
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.119
Screw you, punk.
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.319
Like, I feel like punk carried this segment.
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.200
Yes, yes, punk did.
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.000
And that's the professional punk is.
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:50.960
That's punk punk gave him things to work with.
00:30:51.920 --> 00:31:04.240
And which is something whenever you get deeper into the business and you are the best talker in the world, like you are, like CM Punk is.
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:23.759
From day one, he's been a stick man.
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:25.440
No question about that.
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:31.200
I just wish Jay would have jumped on some of the things he was throwing down for him.
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.599
Um, for sure.
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.079
It was all in all, it was a good opening segment.
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.200
Like, I liked it.
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.160
Uh, next, though, we got uh Mr.
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:49.759
Sedom himself, Pinta going up against Rusev, very angry Bulgarian man.
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:57.119
Uh, number one contendership on the line for Dom's uh IC title.
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.640
I like the chemistry between Rusev and Pinta.
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.400
Like they do very well in the ring.
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.839
Oh, for sure.
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:17.519
And I mean, those two those two had it out with each other over at that other place, too.
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.720
And good chemistry there as well.
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.000
No, I agree.
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:23.680
They did have good chemistry there as well.
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.359
Nothing like what they have now, because we don't talk good things about the other place.
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:34.880
But no, it's set aside the good chemistry they have.
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:41.599
I I enjoy the fact that they can have the kind of chemistry they do with being so different in wrestling styles.
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:55.599
Of course, Rusev, the big guy, the you know, brute strength, pinta quick, fast, in a hurry all the time, high flying, and still they can take those, both of those things and make it a good match on both sides of the match.
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.960
And that's why I enjoy watching matches like this.
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:11.759
Yeah, and and the uh outcome of the whole situation was the fact that uh what what do we call them?
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:20.319
Uh see, it was grande, vinte, and oh, it's tall grande and vinte Americano.
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:21.200
Yes.
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:24.640
Los Americanos.
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:33.279
They come out from the back after a uh slick phone call from Dominic Mysterio and start putting a whooping both.
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:34.640
Huh?
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.920
Allegedly.
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.680
Allegedly.
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:48.240
Um they start putting a whoop into uh Rusev and Pinta until they didn't, because Rusev got up and uh put the whoop into them.
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:56.079
Um I do like I can't with the Americanos.
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:56.720
You know that.
00:33:56.799 --> 00:34:02.400
I get that's I do like the fact that they're using that dom reaching out.
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:04.000
I got I got a phone call to make.
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:06.640
I got you know, I got people on standby kind of thing.
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:08.159
I do like that they're using that.
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:09.599
I just don't like the Americanos.
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.639
I don't like the gimmick, I don't like the I don't like it.
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.440
It gets good heat.
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:29.599
It started, I and before you say anything, yes, I know about Sami Zayn, and we'll discuss that in a minute, but it started out as something funny that Chad Gable did.
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:36.880
And now it's a team, it's a whole thing.
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.559
To me, it doesn't work.
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:55.280
Now, granted, I I do I do think that having three is rather excessive.
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:02.000
I only needed three for one reason, and I got that a couple of weeks ago when they did the whole Spider-Man thing.
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.119
That's all I needed.
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:03.920
Yeah.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:05.360
They can go away now.
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:12.079
Uh looking over at the chat, we've got Janine Wade in.
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:13.599
Janine, glad you could join us.
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:14.960
Welcome to the show.
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:23.519
Um so we kind of saw where this was going with the number one contenders match.
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:28.159
Of course, the match gets thrown out because Los Americanos interfere.
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:31.519
Uh, a little later in the show, we find out something about that.
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:40.320
Um Jell O saying the gimmick will be done by the time Gable gets back.
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.800
I kind of think you may be right about that, Jello.
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.880
Um, we go from that into Nicky Bella versus Roxanne Perez.
00:35:53.039 --> 00:36:17.119
Of course, this match coming from last week when uh La Primera herself was going up against Roxanne Perez, and at the end of the match, the judgment day decides to beat on it, beat on uh Stephanie Vacare, and out comes Nikki Bella for the rescue, and thus we have this match.
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.400
I thought it was a good match.
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:24.480
Like a lot of people are saying Nikki Bella is still one or two steps slower than she needs to be.
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:27.679
Uh I don't think so.
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:29.119
I think she did good.
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.039
I think the speed of the match.
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:44.800
The speed of the match was good, and even if she is a couple of steps slower, Roxanne Perez did an amazing job of keeping the flow at whatever pace needed to be set.
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.800
So oh, for sure.
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:48.800
That's how I feel about that.
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:57.440
Um, but Nikki also was in the generation where you know it was slower than slow and slower than that.
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.639
And she got her pacing from that.
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:09.440
And the the new girls like Roxanne and everything else do have a higher gear.
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:22.880
But it is good to have that person to slow them down somewhat to get them to where things work a little bit better and there's things that are sold and registered better.
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.440
No, I agree with you.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.559
Um, it was a good match all the way around.
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:33.840
Of course, we get uh a little bit of interference from Raquel Rodriguez.
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:36.960
Ends up costing uh Nicky Bella the match.
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.639
Roxanne Perez gets the win.
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.519
We get the beat down, out comes uh La Prometa to make the save.
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:48.880
This is gonna end up being a tag team match very, very soon.
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:49.760
Player.
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:51.679
Player.
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:56.079
Tag team match, player.
00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:02.000
I was gonna say, you done dropped in with some teddy long, just out of now, random teddy long out of nowhere.
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:07.199
Hey, you say tag team match, and it just it just that's the automatic thing that shows in my head.
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:09.360
It's a tag team match, player.
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:19.039
Um we go from that to uh LA Knight versus Braun Breaker.
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:23.760
Uh the reason for this match being Paul Heyman saying, look, there's one other person.
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:27.440
Because we had a we had a pretty good promo from uh LA Knight.
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:34.159
It wasn't uh I'm doing it wasn't the animated big promo we usually get from LA Knight.
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.079
It was a very serious look.
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:42.320
I don't care if it's CM Punk or maybe been Jay Russo, whoever wins that belt, I got next.
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:43.360
Period.
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:50.400
Uh so Paul Heyman tells the vision look, there's one other person who has the same vision that we do.
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:57.519
And if you take that person out, then it doesn't matter who wins the belt, you've got him.
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.760
And that set up this match between LA Knight and Braun Breaker.
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:03.199
Uh, a good match at that.
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:06.480
Like I there were two or three times I thought LA Knight had this.
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:14.719
I'm I said this during the the live stream or the the Discord, the watch along, and I'll say it again.
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:22.960
Is there a point, in your opinion, Mike, in which the no cell from Breaker gets old?
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:28.159
Yes and no.
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:41.840
Um, I still think there's a learning curve, and the size difference is not super adamant between the two.
00:39:42.320 --> 00:40:00.559
So, yes, it gets old, but it also needs to be a developed trait where you know I could see him doing more of what he's doing against somebody like um Axiom.
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:07.920
It kind of makes sense there, but in a match like this with LA Knight, I don't know, it just bothers me.
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:17.519
The oh, I got my head crushed, and I uh I can't see uh just kidding, I'm gonna jump up to the top rope and you know do this.
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:24.880
My leg's broken, like I can't walk at all, but I'm fixing to run 23 miles an hour and do a spear right after that.
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.679
Like it's that's the part that bugs me.
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:32.559
It's the that's still the green part of it.
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:34.800
That's fair.
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.119
It he's still green.
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:46.159
He's learning, he's learning how to get that stuff, and he's got Paul Heyman in his corner now to help him with those kind of things.
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:54.800
So he's going to be able to, Paul is going to make him watch tape and say, okay, well, what did you do wrong there?
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.760
What can we do to make this better?
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.320
I'm gonna have to agree with Jello on this fact.
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:08.639
The uh Killer Bees did not do a post-match beatdown at the end of this match, and that needs to continue.
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:17.360
Well, not every match has to have an afterbirth, but a whole lot of them as of late do.
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:27.199
And that's that's why it's refreshing in this case, because I think at this point you're expecting it, and that's why it was refreshing to see that that didn't happen.
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.920
Oh this is we have our we have our next match.
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:45.679
Uh this one's set up after uh Adam Pierce is looking for Dominic Mysterio, can't seem to find him, he seems to be hiding a little bit.
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:47.280
Uh Finn Balor, J.D.
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:49.039
McDonough come up to ask.
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:55.679
Well, one of them came up to ask, the other one just kind of told uh Adam Pierce.
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.519
I will JD McDonough's like, I'm here to talk about our rematch.
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:01.519
And Finn's like, well, hold on now.
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:12.239
We just wanted to come and ask about the possibility of getting our tag team title rematch, and if we can do that.
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:18.320
Uh and he's like, After what you pulled, that's what you you're already busy.
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:27.440
You can't have a match because one of you is gonna go against the guy that you illegally eliminated from the match last week.
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:29.519
Seamus wants a piece of one of y'all.
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:30.960
And JD's like, you know what?
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:33.840
I got this, and when I come back, we're gonna talk about this.
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:35.920
So we get J.D.
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:37.519
McDonough versus Seamus.
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:38.719
The more I watch J.D.
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:40.800
McDonough, I like to talk a lot of shit about J.D.
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:41.519
McDonough.
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:47.599
From his you know, five head to him being like a crash test dummy.
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:53.440
I talk a lot of shit about him, but the more I watch him wrestle, the more I like J.D.
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:54.239
McDonough.
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:58.559
He is a very good talent.
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:01.280
He is, I agree.
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:06.800
And a lot of that talent uh instilled in him from his partner, Finn Balor.
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:09.360
If I remember correctly, he trained under Finn Balor.
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:11.679
Yes, yes, he did.
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:17.039
You can tell it, and you can tell it in the way he moves the things he does.
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:19.599
There's some very Finn-like stuff going on there.
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:26.960
And he just even against big guy like Seamus, like he's he's there.
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:35.519
Yeah, well, that gets me going into a PSA because the Irish on Irish violence needs to stop.
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:38.320
Yes.
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:39.360
Why?
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:42.639
Why the Irish on Irish violence?
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:45.280
Can't we all just get along?
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:46.559
Exactly.
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:54.320
Ultimate looking over ultimately, JD McDonough didn't didn't get the victory on this dip.
00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:56.239
He did, he did.
00:43:56.400 --> 00:44:01.679
Um, looking over at the chat, Janine Wade says, but even I know you have to sell it to make it believable.
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:04.960
Uh, talking about what we were saying with Braun Breaker.
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:09.679
Um Jell O saying no one bounces better than JD.
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:11.760
That is not wrong.
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.840
His ability to sell a big move.
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:22.000
Look, one of the videos that's being shown all over the place comes from the other place.
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:32.639
And it's uh John Moxley pressing Darby Allen and throwing him onto from the ring onto the announce table.
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:47.039
And the big bounce and the flop, and and JD McDonough could do that, make it look just as good and not get hurt, and not look like he's about to kill himself.
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:49.920
That's one thing I do like about J.D.
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:50.719
McDonough.
00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:57.679
And he actually weighs closer to the 200-pound mark than the other.
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:00.400
This is fair.
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.000
This is very fair.
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:11.440
That's gonna bring us to our main event for Raw Women's Tag Team Championship, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair going up against Bailey and Lyra Valkyria.
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.559
I am all here for that match.
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.199
It was intense.
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:23.039
I was excited, you were excited, my grandson was in here, he was excited.
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:25.679
It was the whole thing was good.
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:31.519
Um I do like that they are continuing to push Bailey and Lyra.
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:35.360
Like I think this is this is good.
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:51.119
One of the things I did enjoy most about this match was the fact that there for just a second, I thought they were that Bailey and Lyra were actually fixing to win those titles.
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:58.400
And then you get a flying uh a flying Alexa Bliss coming in for the save.
00:45:58.719 --> 00:45:59.360
Yes.
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:07.920
Um, that's true.
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:08.559
That's true.
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:13.440
Uh Jello saying Alexa and Charlotte versus Bailey, and Lyra was absolute fire.
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:16.960
Even though Lyra got her hair caught in Alexa's gear, they hit it well.
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:17.840
They did.
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.159
They they actually hit that very well.
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:29.519
Um, I could hear when that happened, I said, you know, I said something about it because there's a certain person.
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:32.079
I'll I'll I'll leave that guy nameless.
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.800
Um in the uh watch along, there was like, this is the perfect match.
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:46.000
I need at some point a wardrobe malfunction of some sort, which of course we all laughed about.
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:55.440
And then we had it, and then he got mad and said bad words because he missed it, and so it was kind of a funny thing.
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.559
It was it it it happens.
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.440
It does, agreed.
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:21.199
Like you can't you can't be as physical and move around as much as you do without something happening, like uh in this instance, getting Lyra getting her hair caught in the uh the gear, like that it's gonna happen.
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:22.159
Yeah.
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:28.480
The guy's saying that we're not supposed to miss it.
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:36.880
All in all, this was a great main event, a great way to end the show.
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:49.199
Uh, of course, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, still your women's tag team champions, and I don't think this is the last time we see these two teams going at each other.
00:47:49.519 --> 00:48:01.360
Yeah, we are also talking about a development that's going on where you have Asuka and Kyrie Sane involved in this whole situation as well.
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:08.719
Now, because they had the beat down after the fact to go off the air.
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:36.719
They did, and so now we have all sorts of uh different scenarios that can play out of this, and that's one thing I do like that WWE does very well while Bailey and Lyra or Charlotte and Alexa or Kyrie and Asuka are solid teams, every one of them can go in a singles match, no problem.
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:42.559
So I do uh I do like that.
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:47.360
So when you grade it, uh Raw was good.
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:48.480
I enjoyed it.
00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:52.079
I I'm gonna go right along with what I said with SmackDown.
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:53.360
I'm gonna give it an A.
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:56.639
I think it was a good setup for everything.
00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:09.920
Uh it was a good mix of setup for Saturday night's main event and pushing storylines that aren't running through Saturday night's main event.
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:13.519
Because of that good mixture, I'm gonna give it an A.
00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:15.920
I'll I'll agree with the A.
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:24.719
All right, it is now time for everybody's favorite segment.
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:27.599
It's time for notes from the clown show.
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:44.400
Tony Cohn.
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.280
Use her or a clown.
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:49.119
And I'm gonna tell you why.
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.840
Number one, Russell Dream.
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.639
Let's talk about this for a minute.
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:56.880
Do you want to watch Russell Dream?
00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:59.280
I know you don't, but act like you do.
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:01.519
Well, you can do that.
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:03.519
You can get the Russell Dream pay-per-view.
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:04.800
It's only$50.
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:14.000
And for that$50, fans paid for it and then report that the feed cut to a pink screen and never returned.
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:29.840
So, not only did you pay$50 to watch what I'm gonna say was a subpar pay-per-view, the biggest part of the pay-per-view you had to hear about on the internet the next day because the screen cut out, so you didn't get to see Sting show up.
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:44.400
So um proving that he is a clown, and I've got to go, uh I gotta go with Camino on this.
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:45.760
And Camino, by the way, what's up?
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:46.719
Glad you're here.
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:49.840
Uh, AEW, all embarrassing wrestling.
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:51.039
I like that.
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:52.480
I like that a lot.
00:50:53.199 --> 00:51:00.639
Um, if you're Tony Khan and you know now that damn emote.
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:15.840
Um, if you're Tony Khan and you know that your screen blanked out and everybody that paid$50 for your pay-per-view missed the biggest part of the show, missed the biggest surprise in the show.
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:17.840
How would you explain that?
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:24.719
Oh, well, we'd pass the buck on to somebody else, wouldn't we?
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:26.000
Oh, absolutely.
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:29.199
And that's uh exactly what happens.
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:42.239
Tony Khan acknowledged the error at the post show press scrum, blaming an internal issue with Prime Video's system, not his problem, so he does not have to refund anything.
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:52.400
Um so the Russell Dream concept was supposed to be in honor of Antonio Enoki.
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:54.159
Yes.
00:51:54.800 --> 00:52:02.000
Um, I love the fact that some people are actually calling him Antonio Canochi.
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:09.199
That's not good at all.
00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:15.760
Um so we get through all of this.
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:24.239
If you're if you're gonna have Russell Dream, if you're gonna have a pay-per-view that's gonna cost fifty dollars, I can't get past that.
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:28.880
Why do you gotta say it that way?
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:38.639
Because it's fifty dollars for this, for the clown show.
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:51.039
If you're gonna pay fifty dollars and you're gonna make it WrestleDream that's gonna be in memory of a wrestling legend, how do you start the show?
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:57.119
Well, let me tell you how Tony Khan starts the show right in the middle of the match from the pre-show.
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:02.880
Yep, yep, we just start right in the mid.
00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:04.480
The pre-show is the kind of match going.
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:06.559
You start right in the middle of the match.
00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:19.599
Um I can't even start to talk about how frustrating that is.
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:36.159
You've got all you you you're fifty dollars, and you're you're trying to honor somebody, and you're just gonna be like it's like they had somebody there with a button said, okay, start and they're in the middle of a pre-show match.
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:40.639
Mikey, you're a promoter.
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:44.000
Explain okay.
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:46.639
This is what he was trying to do.
00:53:47.039 --> 00:54:05.840
He was trying to get the people that were on the free uh pre-show gimmick that was on TNT to oh crap, all of this is all of this is still going on, and now it's on the main show, so I gotta go buy this for$50.
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:07.199
$50.
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:10.800
That's where he was his head was.
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:14.079
But all in all, you want me to tell you where his head was.
00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:20.400
I don't know where his head was.
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:22.239
Dave Welter's ass.
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:24.320
But that's beside the point.
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:34.719
I don't I don't know how we get there with Tony Khan.
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:39.280
I will say, and this does kind of reference notes.
00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:41.679
Well, you know, we'll go ahead and call it number next thing.
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:43.360
Uh number next thing.
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:47.280
I have a new hero as it pertains to the clown show.
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:51.119
And his name is Nick Lopicolo.
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:55.039
I hope I announced that I pronounced that correctly.
00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:58.880
And he had a message for one Dave Meltzer.
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:04.159
And I believe everybody that's watching or listening at home knows exactly how I feel about Dave Meltzer.
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:05.679
Let me read the message.
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:08.159
Says, you don't cover business, Dave.
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:10.719
You cover fanfic with star ratings.
00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:18.639
You spent 40 years grading matches like a Yelp critic while people who actually build this industry negotiate billion-dollar mergers.
00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:26.320
You don't understand media rights or even what I write because it's not about your comfort zone of stars and nostalgia.
00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:33.440
You're a relic of tape trading, pretending to be a reporter in a world of streaming rights, balance sheets, and shareholder calls.
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:36.559
You don't correct misinformation, you create it.
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:38.400
What you do isn't business.
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:40.960
It isn't journalism, it's cosplay.
00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:43.280
Perfect time of year for it, though.
00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:44.239
It's Halloween.
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:46.320
That man is my hero.
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.880
Set up the headstone, rest in peace, Dave Melcher.
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:55.280
Because he killed it.
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:02.079
Just wanted to share that out there because, you know, screw Dave Melcher.
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:03.039
I don't like him.
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:08.000
Um looking over at the chat, we've got uh Gene Wayne.
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:09.760
Okay, you already said the clown show.
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:10.719
Did you expect less?
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:12.400
You make a valid point, Janine.
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:13.760
You make a valid point.
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:25.519
Jell O saying, Tony moved collision to avoid low viewership against Survivor Series to Thanksgiving night against the NFL and expects no effect on this show.
00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:27.119
Look.
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:36.639
Netflix from time to time changes the uh the start time, even in the United States.
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:42.719
You know, set aside the fact that they go over the uh over go overseas and change time for that.
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:56.239
There are times in the states, if there's a very solid, very popular Monday night football game going on, they'll change the start time on Netflix to not go up against that Monday night football game.
00:56:57.840 --> 00:57:08.400
So what the hell makes Tony Khan think the NFL is not going to uh cause problems with his show?
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:09.119
Okay.
00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:12.960
Thanksgiving.
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:20.880
There's two things that are synonymous with Thanksgiving food and football.
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:23.679
And clowns?
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:26.239
Well, apparently.
00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:39.039
I I I I honestly get where he's going with it because history was back in the day, Survivor series was a Thanksgiving night tradition.
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:39.840
It was.
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:44.480
And it it was a it was a deal they did on Thanksgiving.
00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:48.719
And now he used to call them together.
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:55.840
It also didn't work very well in that in that sense, so they changed it.
00:57:58.000 --> 00:57:58.719
No, I agree.
00:57:58.800 --> 00:57:59.920
And Camino's right.
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:06.159
He's sadly to say, viewers will always be football over wrestling, and I agree with that.
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:09.039
I don't agree with the sentiment.
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:18.079
Like, I don't I don't necessarily think sports ball over wrestling, but I agree with the fact that viewers are going to be that way, especially on Thanksgiving.
00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:26.559
I mean, I know certain viewers that would that you know you get you get the right Monday night football game on, and they're not gonna tune into Raw.
00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:28.159
Exactly.
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:30.639
All right, number next thing.
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:34.079
I'm gonna need you to protect me, Mike.
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.320
I need you to protect me from Amanda Huber.
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:45.199
You see, do you know, first off, do we know who Amanda Huber is?
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.119
I I do, but maybe our viewers don't.
00:58:49.360 --> 00:59:01.440
Uh, for those of you that aren't aware of who Amanda Huber is, Amanda Huber is the wife of the trying to remember what his wrestling name was.
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:03.440
I'm not thank you.
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.280
I was gonna say I was I had his real name, his shoot name.
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:23.199
Um, bro, this is Brody League's wife, and she is she works with AEW now, is a member of their team, and just went off in a very unprofessional manner on an online critic.
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:27.199
So don't let the mean lady hurt me, Mike.
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:32.239
Uh it's very unprofessional the way she went about this.
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:34.480
Now, I know what a lot of people may be saying right now.
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.360
It's very unprofessional the way I talk about AEW.
00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:48.880
But I don't work for like if I worked for WWE and said the things about AEW that I say, that would be a whole different thing because that's completely unprofessional.
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:50.320
But this is my podcast.
00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:51.519
I can do this.
00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:59.360
As a person that works for AEW, you cannot go off on online critics.
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:03.679
And the guy didn't even really say anything bad.
01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:07.280
He said that he had some problems with WrestleDream, and these were his problems.
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:09.920
These were the bad things, these were the good things.
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:14.320
Like I could see her going off on me because I talk all kinds of shit.
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:17.920
But this guy was like, this is what I liked, this is what I didn't like.
01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:35.519
Well, I mean, if you I'm sure that now this online critic is probably getting a whole lot more views because people are going, wait, why is she saying what she's saying?
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:37.920
Let's go find out what this guy's all about.
01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:44.639
So Amanda Huber, by all means, please uh consult us for every come on with it.
01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:53.280
Um, the last thing I'm gonna talk about with the clown show is some, it's it's more of a question.
01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:58.719
And I pose this question to you, Mike, and to everybody that's watching, everybody that's listening.
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:12.559
Do you think the tribalism that AEW uses, which of course AEW versus WWE, you're one or the other, do you think that hurts their business?
01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:25.199
It's a question I've gone back and forth in my head over because I can I can see ways that it does, and I can see ways that it doesn't.
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:27.519
So I wanted to get your opinion.
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:30.159
Does the tribalism hurt AEW?
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:32.559
You don't want my opinion.
01:01:33.199 --> 01:01:33.840
I do.
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:36.079
Okay.
01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:45.280
We want everybody to get the wrestling book.
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:46.880
Yes.
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:55.760
Everybody should have the wrestling button because that means that it it creates a trickle down.
01:01:56.480 --> 01:02:09.280
You know, people get excited for WWE, people get excited for AEW, people get excited for TNA, people get excited for this, people get, and then it starts bringing it down all the way over here to their independent levels.
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:33.360
Now, if we were to all work together as a cohesive unit saying, okay, we have different types of wrestling, we have different, you know, and we can definitely say that you know this is your type A and this is your type B, and you know, there's something for everybody in wrestling.
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:40.000
And whatever that happens to be, people may like that.
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:46.159
And they're it's gonna draw them to it, and it's going to help everybody.
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:49.840
The rising tide floats all ships.
01:02:50.559 --> 01:03:01.840
Well, having having the this person against this, or the this company versus this company, and this it it it's it's it's bullshit.
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:04.079
I agree.
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:06.960
And I'm I'm kind of glad you put it that way.
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:08.719
Like it worked for a little while.
01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:13.119
It worked, you know, we're the anti WWE.
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:20.000
All these people from WWE are coming over here because you know, we're the anti-WWE.
01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:25.599
Uh, there's another company that did that that you might remember that's no longer around called WCW.
01:03:26.639 --> 01:03:37.440
Um I feel like doing that, like having you're either our fan or you're their fan, doesn't do anything but hurt you.
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:44.400
Uh Jello saying in the chat, AEW and their core fans do not want casual fans.
01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:47.519
And that that will be their downfall.
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:52.079
For sure.
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:55.039
That's the way just the way I feel about it.
01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:06.079
And it is for these reasons that I can say with honesty and no worries at all.
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:08.639
Tony Khan, you're a clown.
01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:10.880
And that was notes from the clown show.
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:14.159
Let's talk about some wrestling talk Wednesday.
01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:16.000
I posed a question.
01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:17.840
Uh that came out earlier this morning.
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:18.800
I've got a few answers.
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:23.599
If you didn't get the chance to answer in the socials, I definitely want to hear from you in the chat.
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:29.280
Um, music has always been a really big part of wrestling, especially for me.
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:30.800
I'm a music guy.
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:34.480
Uh so my question to everybody was what music is it?
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:39.360
From that first note, as soon as it hits, they get you pumped, gets you hype.
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:41.599
You know it's fixing to be a good match.
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:43.760
Uh got a few answers out of this.
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:47.920
I'm gonna do some of our online answers and then we'll we'll get into me and you, Mike.
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:57.039
Uh uh Houston from the Texan Tag Team Podcast says uh kind of a double one.
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:06.480
Those, you know, first few guitar notes of DX, the DX theme, which I agree are ready to.
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:10.079
Like I've always loved that.
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:15.840
Uh and Sherry's scream at the beginning of uh Shawn Michaels music.
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:16.960
Yes.
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:19.440
Uh I I can agree with that.
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:26.079
And and Houston saying, because as soon as you hear that, you know whether it's promo work or in-ring work, it's gonna be good.
01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:28.800
Uh so I agree with both of those.
01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:43.599
Um you've got Janine, you've got the same one that uh Mike does, the record scratch, signaling the beginning of uh cult of personality for CM Punk.
01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:45.599
Mike also agreeing with that one.
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:52.800
Um trumpets, a few snares, never seen 17.
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:57.599
How did I know, Camino, that you were gonna bring up John Cena?
01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:59.360
But you're not wrong, you're not wrong.
01:05:59.440 --> 01:06:02.000
John Cena's music, definitely good as well.
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:08.559
Um, we've got the guy, classic uh glass break.
01:06:08.719 --> 01:06:11.519
As soon as the glass shatters, you know, stone cold's coming out.
01:06:11.599 --> 01:06:15.679
There's gonna be a whole 50-gallon drum of whoop ass finna happen.
01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:18.559
So that's definitely a good one as well.
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:25.679
Uh Mama Guapo chiming in as well, saying Jay Uso's music as soon as it hits.
01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:31.360
So gets the yeet going the whole nine.
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:39.360
Um, for me personally, it's uh death from above.
01:06:40.159 --> 01:06:50.079
The old school Harvey Boys theme, the da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da I because you knew you knew it was fixed to be good.
01:06:51.360 --> 01:06:53.599
So that was it for me.
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:56.239
Um let's see.
01:06:57.119 --> 01:07:02.800
Jell O's saying the music has never been big for me, but Joan Jett doing bad reputation at WrestleMania was fire.
01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:04.320
Oh, absolutely it was.
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:08.800
Um I think that's a really good one.
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:17.199
Camino's saying uh hearing wrestling has more than one royal family, signaling the entrance of one Cody Rhodes.
01:07:18.239 --> 01:07:20.239
Uh I agree with that one as well.
01:07:20.559 --> 01:07:24.320
Um others I've got written down here, the Dudleys.
01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:30.559
As soon as you heard the like you knew, you already knew.
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:36.639
Uh Wade saying uh Edge's song is in my head all day, every day.
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:37.760
Oh yeah.
01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:41.360
You think you know me.
01:07:41.679 --> 01:07:42.880
It wasn't even that one.
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:45.679
I'm I'm at work talking about I mistake.
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:50.000
I hear that song all the time.
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:52.960
But the you think you know me thing was cool.
01:07:53.119 --> 01:07:55.360
Like people pop for that.
01:07:55.760 --> 01:08:09.840
You did it for um the I don't know what you would call that music, but the music that came out right before you hear no chance, that's what you got.
01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:12.320
Like, as soon as that hit, you knew.
01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:15.039
Like, I'm not saying anything about the person it was for.
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:17.920
Like, I'm Vince McMahon's a piece of shit human.
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:18.960
We all know that.
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:26.079
But that music, when it hit back in the attitude era, you knew things are about to get fun.
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:30.000
Mike, do you have anything you'd like to add?
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:44.800
Um honestly, you got you got the you got the uh I hear voices in my head.
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:45.680
Uh-huh.
01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:50.399
For the for real definitely Randy Orton.
01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:57.199
Uh that's not for there's a hurricane coming through.
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:04.800
I was I was I was really into the to the intro before the intro.
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:06.239
I did that.
01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:14.000
In in you know what I what I liked about the about the product for a long time.
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:24.720
And you know, everybody had their little their little things that they had that made their music their music.
01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:26.079
True.
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:36.239
You know, I I actually had I asked this question at work, and you could tell who some of the older school people were because I actually had somebody say the hello ladies from Valvinus.
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:37.199
Yeah.
01:09:37.359 --> 01:09:39.439
Ain't thought about that one in a minute.
01:09:40.960 --> 01:09:43.600
Uh the car crash, absolutely.
01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:47.199
Um got the sauce in here.
01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:48.479
What's up, Sauce?
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:50.000
What does everybody want?
01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:56.479
I agree with you, Sauce.
01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:58.720
That's absolutely what does everybody want?
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:00.159
Al Snow at head.
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:06.800
That was like that's the first time you really saw the crowd get into one of the things.
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:10.720
And of course, one of my other personal favorites.
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:12.880
Oh, you didn't know?
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:18.319
The new age outlaws getting everybody into.
01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:32.880
I I feel like, and correct me if you think I'm wrong here, but I feel like you don't get the response from the crowd that the new age outlaws get without Al snowing head.
01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:45.520
Like, I understand that Al is this Javroni's name, but you don't get that kind of reaction without what does everybody want?
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:49.840
Oh the sauce talking about I'm an ass fan, pew, pew.
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:54.640
Yes, for sure.
01:10:54.880 --> 01:11:05.439
There was just there the music and we're getting the probably the most recognizable, the most, I don't know, the biggest one in my opinion.
01:11:05.760 --> 01:11:07.279
And that's the gong.
01:11:07.680 --> 01:11:11.439
Yes, yes, signaling the Undertaker.
01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:19.680
Like for years, 30 of those to be exact, that gong meant trouble.
01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:24.880
Uh no, we're not saying anybody's name.
01:11:26.479 --> 01:11:29.279
Okay, see, now you're making my eye twitch, Camino.
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:30.960
Say his name, and he appears.
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:32.479
We believe in Bodalis.
01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:35.760
Wait a damn minute.
01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:37.439
That's not how that goes.
01:11:39.359 --> 01:11:45.920
No, I do I do think music is just as big a part of the production of wrestling as the wrestling.
01:11:47.680 --> 01:11:51.840
And I love that we can sit here and talk about the music.
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:56.079
Um, one of the things I see in there is uh from Camino, the heartbeat Taz.
01:11:59.920 --> 01:12:00.960
Doug that.
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:04.079
Uh, the car crash for Mick Foley.
01:12:05.119 --> 01:12:06.640
Just a question.
01:12:07.199 --> 01:12:16.239
Is there anybody else who thanks to Edge and Christian, anytime they hear that particular Mick Foley music, you know the one I'm talking about?
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:19.039
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:21.279
All I ever hear.
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:24.079
Mick Foley is the commissioner.
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:27.600
Likes to wear red flannel, checkered shirts.
01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:29.279
Like that's all I hear.
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:30.079
Oh my god.
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:32.079
And I blame Edge and Christian for that.
01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:36.000
Oh God.
01:12:36.399 --> 01:12:38.479
I hadn't thought about that in years.
01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:45.119
Uh no, but it's those moments that you can tie to the music, and that's why I asked this question.
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.079
I appreciate everybody for giving input on that.
01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:49.840
Um I don't know.
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:54.479
I'm just I'm a music guy, so I I really enjoyed the opportunity to talk about that.
01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:59.920
Um what's the sauce saying here?
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:03.279
Even the wrestling shows, Rob with across the nation.
01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:10.720
Okay, like I've got a poster right now hanging on my wall from going to see Union Underground back in March.
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:14.479
Thank you to my kids for the birthday present, and getting to hear that live.
01:13:14.720 --> 01:13:17.760
And oh, it was awesome.
01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:23.840
Like getting to hear like, I mean, I've got to agree with the sauce, across the nation.
01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:25.680
Like, that's that pumps you up.
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:26.960
They're still making videos today.
01:13:27.039 --> 01:13:34.720
If you go look on TikTok, imagine NFL starting like this, and it's across the nation with different clips put in.
01:13:34.800 --> 01:13:44.000
Or imagine Raw starting like this again, and it's today's wrestlers in a in a video backed by Across the Nation.
01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:47.199
So I 100% agree with that.
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:52.800
Um the old school WCW nitro theme.
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:53.680
Yeah.
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:55.840
Yeah, I've got to go with that too.
01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:56.880
It was it was good.
01:13:57.119 --> 01:14:00.079
Um, a storm is coming, Jake Cargill.
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:02.720
As long as you don't have to hear it's TV Turn.
01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:13.760
We're down to about 11 minutes left.
01:14:13.920 --> 01:14:16.960
Let's get into some Saturday night main event predictions.
01:14:17.119 --> 01:14:18.640
Uh, we're gonna go through it quick.
01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:20.560
I want to hear what everybody has to say.
01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:22.479
I knew he was gonna do that too.
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:23.279
I knew it.
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:24.479
Look at the chat.
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:29.520
This guy.
01:14:31.439 --> 01:14:37.199
Um we're gonna go through it quick, but uh, I want to hear what everybody's got to say about it.
01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:39.359
Cody versus Drew.
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:40.960
Mike, who you got?
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:42.880
Uh I've got Cody.
01:14:44.720 --> 01:14:46.079
See, I don't.
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:50.159
I think I think we're finally gonna see Drew get his this time.
01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:52.319
I think Drew's gonna become champ.
01:14:53.439 --> 01:15:01.359
I mean, more power to him if he does, but I don't feel I don't feel it's the the situation is where it needs to be before that happens.
01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:03.760
I don't know.
01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:09.119
I feel like this puts the uh situation where it needs to be.
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:12.800
Uh we'll have to see how that one goes.
01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:14.720
Camino saying Cody as well.
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:15.279
I don't know.
01:15:15.359 --> 01:15:17.760
I I feel like I've got Drew McIntyre in this one.
01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:19.680
I think Drew's gonna take this one.
01:15:20.880 --> 01:15:23.119
Which takes us to our next championship match.
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:26.880
CM Punk versus main event, Jay Uso.
01:15:28.079 --> 01:15:29.279
Who you got?
01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:31.600
I got punk.
01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:33.760
I too have punk.
01:15:33.920 --> 01:15:37.039
I think I think punk gets the belt.
01:15:37.600 --> 01:15:39.439
I think it works out well.
01:15:41.119 --> 01:15:47.359
Um Joe saying Cody, please.
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:50.159
I'm Cody versus Drew.
01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:55.680
Uh Camino saying uh CM Punk and Janine Wade saying I agree with Mike.
01:15:56.000 --> 01:16:02.640
Uh I don't know, I think it just fits the story best for Punk to take the belt.
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:08.720
What I what I want to eventually get to is Jimmy versus Jay for the belt.
01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:21.680
But what I'd like to see is Punk win the belt, and I'd like to see Jimmy take it off of Punk and Jay come after Jimmy, we get the whole thing there.
01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:26.479
Uh the sauce saying CM Punk, the Uso project did not go over very well.
01:16:26.720 --> 01:16:28.960
Uh I can understand that.
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:36.000
Uh Camino saying, where do you go with Drew afterwards if he wins the belt?
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:43.359
Uh you go back to a rematch with Cody, you go, uh I'm trying to remember who's on SmackDown.
01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:46.880
Uh the MFTs are going to become a part of that for sure.
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:52.399
Um like there's there's all sorts of directions you can go with Drew.
01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:54.319
Like, where do you go with Cody?
01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:56.960
If Cody if Cody retains.
01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:03.520
Well, if Cody retains, then you have you have some heels that I mean, you've got solo.
01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:07.439
You've got you've got Alistair Black.
01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:11.119
You've got I mean shit.
01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:13.279
You you could we could ramp up Sammy.
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:21.359
Well, I mean, while I agree with that, Sammy versus Drew McIntyre.
01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:24.399
Alistair Black versus Drew McIntyre.
01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:30.239
Like, these are all matches that could go either way, like Cody or Drew, in my opinion.
01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:35.520
Camino says Cody versus uh Cody versus Hendry.
01:17:37.039 --> 01:17:38.479
Cody versus Orton.
01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:39.279
Yeah.
01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:41.840
We're gonna get that eventually.
01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:45.119
We're gonna get to uh Cody versus Orton.
01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:46.079
And what's up, son?
01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:47.520
Glad you made it to the chat.
01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:50.319
Uh little guapo in the chat.
01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:52.239
He's not a ghost.
01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:53.760
I told y'all he was real.
01:17:57.039 --> 01:18:00.399
There were some people that didn't believe, but I told y'all he was real.
01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:04.079
Um we are gonna get to that by a point.
01:18:04.159 --> 01:18:07.199
Cody versus Orton is gonna be a thing.
01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:08.800
Without question.
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:11.520
I just I don't know if it's time for that yet.
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:16.640
So what do we have on Tiffany Stratton versus Jade Cargill?
01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:25.119
Um you know what I want and what's really gonna happen are two different things.
01:18:25.359 --> 01:18:26.159
You know, okay.
01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:26.960
You tell.
01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:41.600
I want Jade to win because I feel I feel like having having that to help her get to that next step where she needs to be is gonna be a good thing.
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:48.640
But honestly, I still feel like Tiffany Stratton is still gonna still gonna get the W and continue to go.
01:18:50.319 --> 01:18:51.760
I could see it.
01:18:52.000 --> 01:18:55.680
Like I I could see Tiffany going on.
01:18:55.760 --> 01:18:59.920
I just I feel like we get Jade.
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:06.159
Uh see, uh the sauce is going exactly where I was gonna go with this.
01:19:06.399 --> 01:19:11.039
Jade wins the belt here, Bianca wins the rumble, mania.
01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:13.119
You get Jade versus Bianca.
01:19:13.279 --> 01:19:27.039
And if they want to throw a little fun into that, you know, we get we get a triple threat with Tiffany, or something happens and Tiffany and Bianca have to go for number one contender.
01:19:27.279 --> 01:19:31.840
Like there's so many ways to go with that, but I do feel like we get Jade versus Bianca at Mania.
01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:37.760
And the best way to do that is for Jade to win the belt and Bianca to win uh the rumble.
01:19:43.279 --> 01:19:47.279
So I think I personally think Jade's got this one.
01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:51.600
Uh uh Janine Wade, so over Tiffy time.
01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:53.359
Yes, yes, Lord.
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:56.399
Oh, she said taffy time.
01:19:56.560 --> 01:19:57.680
Oh, yeah, taffy time.
01:19:57.920 --> 01:19:58.880
My bad.
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:01.279
All right, last one.
01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:04.159
Dominic Mysterio versus Roosevelt versus Penta.
01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:05.359
I see title.
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:06.640
What we got.
01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:17.680
Honestly, I feel like I feel like this is one of those things where we're we're actually sitting back trying to figure out how's Dom gonna get through this one.
01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:21.840
I don't disagree with that.
01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:35.439
I I feel like we're going to see uh tall grande and Vinti Americano show up.
01:20:41.840 --> 01:20:43.680
Like I feel like that's gonna be a thing.
01:20:47.439 --> 01:20:53.359
Um Little Guapo saying Tiffany has been great, just a poorly such a poorly booked run.
01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:55.600
I mean, I feel that.
01:20:59.279 --> 01:21:13.840
Honestly, we need we still need to we we need to have a draft, and we need to do it differently than every every other draft has has gone before, where you're not worried about who's on raw and who's on spec down.
01:21:14.079 --> 01:21:20.720
We saw we try to we try to bring up some of the guys from NXT and see what see what we can do about building our rosters.
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:28.800
Um says dirty dom face turn with daddy return.
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:30.479
Ray wins the title.
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:40.000
What I think we will get there with uh dom and ray, like it's gonna come full circle at some point.
01:21:40.079 --> 01:21:41.760
I don't think it happens yet.
01:21:42.079 --> 01:21:48.079
Uh the sauce saying Dom retains with sneaky Guerrero tactics.
01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:49.520
I can go with that.
01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:53.920
Uh Jell O saying ABD, anyone but Dom.
01:21:57.520 --> 01:22:04.000
Uh Lilagu still talking about uh uh Tiffany Stratton saying same three opponents whole run.
01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:05.359
And you're not wrong.
01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:09.520
Uh it has been, it kind of has been that.
01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:12.640
It's been the same three opponents for Tiffy the whole time.
01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:32.239
Um I feel like giving her a chance to chase, like pulling the belt and giving her a chance to chase and build heat with other people gives her a chance to get the belt back and have a much uh a much larger opponent base.
01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:40.560
Um uh guapo, just curious.
01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:44.000
The way you plug them, you should ask Starbucks for sponsorship.
01:22:44.159 --> 01:22:44.560
You know what?
01:22:44.640 --> 01:22:45.039
I should.
01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:46.479
You're absolutely right.
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:48.880
Starbucks should give me a sponsor.
01:22:49.039 --> 01:22:51.920
Starbucks! And I can't say that too loud.
01:22:52.000 --> 01:22:53.039
My wife's gonna come in here.
01:22:53.199 --> 01:22:55.039
She's gonna want some Starbucks.
01:22:57.279 --> 01:22:58.640
I might have to go get some.
01:22:58.800 --> 01:22:59.920
I'm just saying.
01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:02.960
Uh Facebook is delayed.
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:05.279
Uh things get a little delayed.
01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:09.520
Um look Wapo saying, Dom is my vote for wrestler of the year.
01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:17.039
And I, as much as I don't want to say this, I'm gonna find it hard for it to be anybody else.
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:20.640
What a year Dominic Mysterio has had.
01:23:20.880 --> 01:23:22.319
Oh, for sure.
01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:27.359
So I don't think we ever got your answer.
01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:28.960
Who do you think's gonna win this one?
01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:30.800
I've got Dom.
01:23:31.520 --> 01:23:32.560
I've got Dom.
01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:37.119
You know, says seven brew is better.
01:23:39.039 --> 01:23:42.880
Um Jello saying Tiff never got a chance to chase.
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:43.600
I agree with that.
01:23:43.680 --> 01:23:49.119
That's why I feel like if she loses the belt and gets to chase, then that's gonna make it a little bigger.
01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:58.159
Uh the sauce saying, to be honest, if you take the title off Dom, now is where you build Penta.
01:23:58.239 --> 01:23:59.520
So Rusev takes the belt.
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:03.439
Nice feud between Rusev versus Pinta through at least Rumble.
01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:06.479
I mean, I could see that.
01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:10.319
That's that's not a bad setup.
01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.039
Um I love you.
01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:21.039
It is a good way, it's a good way to build Pinta, it's a good way to build Rusev, and Dom is still 100% in the mix.
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:36.800
I do think at some point, I don't think it's gonna be Saturday, but I do think at some point Dom loses the belt and spends a little more time over in AAA doing things as he is, you know, their mega champion.
01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:45.520
Uh so I think I think we see a little less of Dom for a little while, but I don't think that happens now.
01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:46.560
Right.
01:24:47.439 --> 01:24:55.279
I I still think there's more mileage to go on the Dom thing because he is just now getting to be his creative self.
01:24:55.520 --> 01:24:57.760
Yes, and the crowd's behind him.
01:24:58.079 --> 01:25:01.920
Never thought I'd hear myself say that one, but yeah, the crowd, the crowd.
01:25:03.279 --> 01:25:06.399
Pinza tried to do the it's been a while, uh, a few weeks ago.
01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:11.039
Pinza tried to do the uh three amigos and the crowd booed him for that.
01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:13.279
And then cheered when Don did it.
01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:14.880
Yeah, for sure.
01:25:15.119 --> 01:25:17.119
So it's gonna be a good show.
01:25:17.279 --> 01:25:19.359
We may get another match added tomorrow night.
01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:20.319
I don't know.
01:25:20.560 --> 01:25:27.039
Um we you do know how Triple H likes to do his five match shows.
01:25:27.199 --> 01:25:29.680
So there is that possibility.
01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:37.840
So uh Camino says, Cena AA is dumb, face turned from the attitude adjustment, Ray Crown's dumb, king of AAA Lucha.
01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:41.600
That's a whole lot of moving parts right there.
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:45.279
All right.
01:25:46.880 --> 01:25:49.600
That's our predictions for Saturday night, the main event.
01:25:49.760 --> 01:25:52.239
Uh, we've got some local wrestling coming up.
01:25:52.319 --> 01:26:02.319
We've got some some of the best West Texas independent wrestling you're gonna find coming up November 8th at uh TMW Event Center in Love Land.
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:05.359
BCW Texas bringing you draw the line.
01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:25.920
This is, of course, the show where we get the opportunity as fans, as talent, as everybody in the building to show our appreciation for our veterans, the the people that are out there fighting for our right to be here and do this.
01:26:26.159 --> 01:26:29.920
So this show always a big deal for me.
01:26:31.039 --> 01:26:32.239
Very much so.
01:26:33.119 --> 01:26:46.720
Uh following that, BCW Texas doing a twofer in November, uh, November 15th in Plainview, Texas, doing uh I believe it's called uh Break the Silence.
01:26:46.960 --> 01:26:48.640
Breaking the Silence, yes.
01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:51.439
Breaking the Silence, a show.
01:26:51.840 --> 01:27:05.199
If I you have to correct me if I if I say this wrong, but my understanding is this show is a fundraiser, um all about see, there it is right there.
01:27:05.359 --> 01:27:10.479
Uh all about mental health and suicide prevention and awareness.
01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:13.600
Uh I can't think of a better reason.
01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:16.399
Uh we all know someone.
01:27:18.319 --> 01:27:42.880
And I just know that if it if this map if this show, the breaking the silence, can help one person feel like it's it's gonna be okay, then that show has been has paid itself, paid for itself all over the place.
01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:47.199

That's for you, buddy.

01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:44.479
Yeah, hell yeah, I'm I'm not only am I gonna be there, I'm gonna be in the middle of the ring with a microphone in my hand.
01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:44.960
You know why?
01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:47.279
Because I'm the ring announcer, that's what I do.
01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:51.920
Yeah.
01:28:54.159 --> 01:29:08.720
For those that were got the opportunity to hear it, uh last Tuesday I was on the uh Tex and Tag Team podcast, and Rick decided to pop in and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:12.880
Yeah, I got I got the standard Rick Elsie promo.
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:17.760
Well, I did this and I did that, and everybody's against me, and mah, man, mah, mah, mah.
01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:25.199
So, like it was it was your standard Rick Elsey promo.
01:29:25.279 --> 01:29:26.399
That's that's all it was.
01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:29.840
And I I said nice things.
01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:43.920
Like I gave him all the flowers for building Square Circle Pro, for having the only women's division in West Texas, for all the things he's done, and still got things he wants to uh he wants to come on and bitch and moan and complain.
01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:44.560
You know why?
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:47.039
Because he's just like the thing he hates the most.
01:29:47.199 --> 01:29:49.279
He's just like the internet wrestling community.
01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:51.439
Bitch and moan about everything.
01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:54.800
He would be pissed off if I hung him with a new rope.
01:29:55.840 --> 01:30:08.159
Just like You right there, buddy.
01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:09.680
Don't do that.
01:30:13.199 --> 01:30:14.720
Good stuff, good stuff.
01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:21.279
Uh if you haven't had the opportunity, you need to check out some uh some West Texas Independent Wrestling.
01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:22.800
It's gonna be good stuff.
01:30:23.119 --> 01:30:28.239
Um I'll tell you what, you guys check this out because it's gonna be really cool.
01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:30.720
It's time for final thoughts.
01:30:34.640 --> 01:30:36.159
Pretty cool, huh?
01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:41.520
The guy has put some serious work into all of this, and I think it's freaking awesome.
01:30:41.760 --> 01:30:50.159
Um, of course, Mike, we're gonna hand it over to you, to everybody listening, everybody watching, to the wrestling world in general.
01:30:50.399 --> 01:30:52.800
The floor is open for you, my friend.
01:30:54.720 --> 01:31:03.039
Ultimately, I mean we have our we have our people that we're gonna have we're gonna have heat with.
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:05.359
One way, shape, or form or another.
01:31:07.199 --> 01:31:08.319
Let's get past it.
01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:12.079
Be kind to one another.
01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:18.800
And that's one of the things that we can do to make this wrestling world better.
01:31:22.239 --> 01:31:23.760
And I'm gonna end it there.
01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:25.680
I couldn't agree more.
01:31:26.399 --> 01:31:33.039
We are the wrestling community, we're not always gonna agree with each other.
01:31:34.399 --> 01:31:38.880
But we all love the same thing, and and I agree with being kind.
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:57.520
Um touching on the breaking the silence show, I want anybody that may be watching this, maybe listening live or after the fact, anything at listening at any point to know I love you guys, and I know Mike loves you guys.
01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:10.880

There's always there's always a reason, and and if we can be a reason, we're happy to do that.
01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:35.600
