00:15.708 --> 00:28.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so very much for joining me right here on off the script this is your Friday night Smackdown post show For your Saturday February 21st 2026.
00:29.160 --> 00:36.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your shady from New York is always coming to you live From the OTS venue inside my mother's basement.
00:36.987 --> 00:44.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys so very much for joining me on this Saturday afternoon happy hour wherever you may be
00:47.230 --> 00:55.383
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I got home last night, and I see nothing but fear and shred all over social media.
00:58.188 --> 01:04.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently we're getting 28 inches of snow if you look at the fear mongering on social media.
01:06.140 --> 01:07.042
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate New York.
01:07.923 --> 01:09.866
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's in my YouTube name.
01:09.886 --> 01:12.090
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate the place where I live.
01:12.475 --> 01:24.111
[SPEAKER_00]: I very much wanted to be warmer weather, and it said because where I reside, yesterday was the first time I legitimately saw my front lawn in about four weeks.
01:26.454 --> 01:41.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Today was the first time I could actually open the door and let the dark horse breathe from its dungeon, and now we're getting 28 inches of fucking snow tomorrow, and I can't stand
01:41.990 --> 01:55.344
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray to God that somewhere a meteorologist is wrong, ridiculous, California, Florida, where am I going?
01:55.364 --> 01:58.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't even go to Atlantic City, apparently they're going to get blasted too.
01:58.367 --> 02:01.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Normally it's a little, it's a little easier down there.
02:01.130 --> 02:07.457
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't get a lot of snowfall like we get up here, but holy shit, can't stand the snow.
02:09.108 --> 02:18.408
[SPEAKER_00]: There was also fear and dread on social media last night after the House of Glory show apparently a lot of people and like that I was back behind the booth.
02:18.428 --> 02:24.822
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a great time, happened to be back, I love House of Glory, we had a tremendous show last night.
02:24.987 --> 02:28.895
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm very thankful for the opportunity to be back.
02:29.656 --> 02:39.595
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a great time last night sitting next to the Waternoli Salomonster and Johnny Torres who filled in for me for the last 11 months.
02:39.675 --> 02:46.168
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought we did a great job last night and I want to thank both of them for making the transition back as seamless as possible.
02:47.093 --> 02:55.204
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it was a great showman, MJF, just a constant professional, you know, when the spotlight's on him, he is better than anybody.
02:56.105 --> 03:00.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought what he did with Zilla Fattu last night was tremendous work.
03:00.691 --> 03:16.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla, I know, a lot of people look at Zilla and either A find him too young to be anywhere so quickly or at this early stage of his career three years in the game of highly overrated.
03:17.131 --> 03:28.848
[SPEAKER_00]: And normally, I feel like, and I think a lot of us smart fans feel like when we see someone like that, that gains that type of traction, there's something special about them.
03:29.650 --> 03:34.116
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you hear Zilla speak and when you get Zilla in the room with someone like M.J.F.
03:35.398 --> 03:36.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the sky's the limit for him.
03:37.617 --> 03:46.950
[SPEAKER_00]: unbelievable work bought by those two Charles Mason defended the house of glory world championship against Andrade who, you know, I love the way Jason puts it.
03:48.031 --> 03:50.615
[SPEAKER_00]: He is in his final form.
03:50.635 --> 03:51.837
[SPEAKER_00]: And I 100% agree with that.
03:51.877 --> 03:55.602
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the best we've ever seen Andrade look.
03:55.622 --> 04:02.211
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's amazing how the difference between legitimately, I would say nine months.
04:02.371 --> 04:05.295
[SPEAKER_00]: The less time we saw him was at
04:06.018 --> 04:10.984
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was in that ladder match with right things.
04:11.004 --> 04:15.290
[SPEAKER_00]: From there to where we see him now, completely different person.
04:16.932 --> 04:17.633
[SPEAKER_00]: He's unbelievable.
04:17.953 --> 04:22.239
[SPEAKER_00]: I've, I've, I've, I've listened since the black and gold days on dry days been fucking tremendous.
04:23.260 --> 04:27.305
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a lot more polished and he's a lot put together, a lot more put together now.
04:28.026 --> 04:29.948
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's always been great.
04:31.130 --> 04:33.713
[SPEAKER_00]: We've always thought he was one of the best pro wrestlers on the planet.
04:34.283 --> 04:43.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I just felt like he needed a mouthpiece and he needed some sort of voice behind what he does in the ring and that's why Selena did so great with him.
04:43.417 --> 05:00.763
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love that act and then Vince tore that act apart and he was left all on his own and I don't really think that helped him at all on the main roster because then they get a sense of who he really is and then they get a vision of him and then he's cast aside like some fucking piece of garbage.
05:01.537 --> 05:04.040
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hated that because we knew the potential was there.
05:05.141 --> 05:17.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, he's in AEW, it's probably doing some of the best work of his entire fucking career within the last six to eight weeks, and he's already put together wrestler of the year credentials for his return to AEW.
05:19.156 --> 05:23.301
[SPEAKER_00]: And a possible program looming maybe with MJF, hopefully.
05:23.941 --> 05:24.702
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to see that.
05:24.742 --> 05:26.224
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a tremendous program.
05:26.424 --> 05:31.189
[SPEAKER_00]: He is in the Don Calls family, and I know we
05:31.388 --> 05:34.142
[SPEAKER_00]: But Don Kals is a great talker.
05:34.645 --> 05:36.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Don Cals is a great heat magnet.
05:36.928 --> 05:38.050
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's going to work out.
05:38.551 --> 05:39.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, for Ones, Roddy.
05:40.193 --> 05:49.807
[SPEAKER_00]: So those two matches, I felt like from those two matches being some of the biggest main events that we've ever had back to back last night.
05:50.648 --> 06:01.564
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the rest of the card from top to bottom, I thought less night was not only one of our best shows in a very long time, but it also shows you exactly where House of Glorious going.
06:01.915 --> 06:03.700
[SPEAKER_00]: and I couldn't be more excited about the future.
06:03.720 --> 06:14.348
[SPEAKER_00]: The brand from when I first started eight years ago, eight and a half years ago, to where the brand is now, the amazing random brand XL have done such a tremendous job.
06:14.870 --> 06:17.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Work that you guys physically don't see.
06:18.622 --> 06:42.203
[SPEAKER_00]: going into the product and it's amazing how far the entire company is coming when I tell you that bigger and better things are coming and the vision of where they want to be is I think something you guys are going to want to be a part of so I thought it was a great show and the overwhelming support whether you dislike me or whether you are firmly planted on this side of the fence.
06:42.843 --> 06:48.308
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate all the reaction last night.
06:48.592 --> 07:02.026
[SPEAKER_00]: several people yesterday and we had some great conversations and I feel like what we did last night was a great step forward and I'm just very proud of the company.
07:02.106 --> 07:03.287
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very happy to be back.
07:03.407 --> 07:13.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I owe a lot to Brian XL a lot to amazing red and I'm just very fortunate that I have a lot of good people in my corner.
07:13.752 --> 07:22.043
[SPEAKER_00]: So no matter the noise, no matter the hatred, no matter these people watching or not watching and saying, well, these nasty things about me, I really don't care.
07:23.064 --> 07:24.566
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I got in the ring last night.
07:25.107 --> 07:28.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really want to, but I did it anyway.
07:29.472 --> 07:39.325
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reaction that we got, man, that made me smile because a lot of the people that I, that I watch and I am a huge fan of, I live for those reactions, man.
07:39.425 --> 07:41.127
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's fucking great.
07:41.495 --> 07:45.723
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was like transported when I heard shut the fuck up chance.
07:45.804 --> 07:51.816
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that is nothing compared to the shit that I get on a weekly basis on social media.
07:51.836 --> 08:00.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had a lot worse said about me, but you got to understand at the end of the day why are people chanting shut the fuck up at me?
08:00.985 --> 08:09.994
[SPEAKER_00]: None of these people know who I am legitimately, none of these people know what happened behind the scenes yesterday or who I spoke to, who I didn't speak to.
08:10.714 --> 08:17.161
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're basing it all on what we do here and what is so terrible about what we do here.
08:17.521 --> 08:25.328
[SPEAKER_00]: We talk about progress and we love progress and it's always been about the progress and it's always been about wanting better progress like, do we get a little carried away?
08:25.348 --> 08:27.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, sure it's you, too.
08:27.445 --> 08:28.467
[SPEAKER_00]: I got entertained.
08:28.968 --> 08:39.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Do the meat or the next boring fucking content creator out there that's sitting in their bedroom in the in front of a $20 microphone who's, you know, not really doing anything innovative.
08:40.373 --> 08:45.083
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not really doing anything to make a splash or a wave or get better, man, listen.
08:45.603 --> 08:49.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I told you this was going to be the year, and we are off to the races.
08:50.275 --> 08:51.257
[SPEAKER_00]: So I loved it.
08:52.019 --> 08:53.302
[SPEAKER_00]: Great to be back.
08:53.322 --> 08:55.066
[SPEAKER_00]: I owe a lot to Brian Excellen, amazing red.
08:55.087 --> 08:56.330
[SPEAKER_00]: They did a fantastic job.
08:56.751 --> 08:58.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Very happy to have them in my corner.
08:59.016 --> 09:02.565
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to kick S. This year, we're going to kick S.
09:02.545 --> 09:10.095
[SPEAKER_00]: commentary on how to glory man's going right back to me and Jason and my guy Dr. Hillary P. Wisdom should be great very much looking forward to it.
09:10.135 --> 09:13.619
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you guys in Chicago for more six that's our next show.
09:13.719 --> 09:23.912
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know what the cards look like but we we find it out and we'll update you guys right here Smackdown the reason why it wasn't alive
09:24.449 --> 09:29.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Last night is because I was at House of Glory and the reason why we're doing SmackDown tonight.
09:29.718 --> 09:31.921
[SPEAKER_00]: I know we're not going to be expecting a huge audience here.
09:31.981 --> 09:39.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Friday is usually never a big audience for SmackDown because I think a lot of people have seen the consistency of the show and they're not on board.
09:40.996 --> 09:41.737
[SPEAKER_00]: The show is weak.
09:42.659 --> 09:50.912
[SPEAKER_00]: It's three hours of a lot of fluff and in that three hours you may cherry pick a little something here and a little something there that you like.
09:52.681 --> 09:54.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Last night was more of the same.
09:55.283 --> 10:06.213
[SPEAKER_00]: A three hour show that in my honest opinion wasn't terrible, it was a lot better than the last couple of weeks that we've gotten where it was just straight up boring.
10:07.314 --> 10:10.457
[SPEAKER_00]: Last night we got a couple of elimination chamber qualifying matches.
10:11.257 --> 10:17.283
[SPEAKER_00]: We got one shock outcome in the women's elimination chamber, qualifying match.
10:17.303 --> 10:22.367
[SPEAKER_00]: The men's not so much are then everybody anticipated
10:23.360 --> 10:31.690
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think people who watched the show last night expected Charlotte flared to get eliminated from title contention going into WrestleMania.
10:31.710 --> 10:38.178
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought everybody expected Charlotte flared to win the women's elimination chamber match last night.
10:38.939 --> 10:41.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead, they gave that to Keanu James.
10:41.421 --> 10:50.312
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Keanu James has done a very good job on the main roster.
10:51.068 --> 11:05.820
[SPEAKER_00]: legitimacy because she wrestles like a wrestler she moves like a wrestler she takes a bump like a wrestler where most of these women, you know, they're not very good and they don't like to bump and it just looks sloppy a shit.
11:06.728 --> 11:09.953
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know a lot of people are high on several of the rest was on the roster.
11:10.334 --> 11:14.741
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think a lot of people are overlooking how good Kiana James actually can be.
11:15.282 --> 11:16.444
[SPEAKER_00]: The potential is there.
11:16.464 --> 11:17.967
[SPEAKER_00]: You see it in the way she moves.
11:17.987 --> 11:19.609
[SPEAKER_00]: You see it in the way she operates.
11:20.190 --> 11:21.252
[SPEAKER_00]: The potential is there.
11:22.374 --> 11:25.319
[SPEAKER_00]: So just like Javan Heavens in the men's, the women action chamber.
11:26.921 --> 11:29.125
[SPEAKER_00]: They gave it to Kiana James to the women.
11:29.645 --> 11:38.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody wants WWE to start getting behind the future, but when WWE gets behind the future and leaves out Charlotte Flair in favor of Keanu James, people want to complain.
11:38.762 --> 11:39.844
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know what they want.
11:41.227 --> 11:47.519
[SPEAKER_00]: So you want WWE to build for the future, but then you complain about WWE going with Keanu James and the women's elimination chamber.
11:48.481 --> 11:49.763
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no problem with that.
11:50.519 --> 11:55.748
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we'll talk about what the match could potentially end up being that WrestleMania.
11:55.808 --> 12:00.516
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really excited for the direction of the WWE Women's Championship.
12:01.117 --> 12:05.203
[SPEAKER_00]: It's either one or the other and I'm not excited about either one of those.
12:06.045 --> 12:15.801
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Charlotte would have been the right choice for Jade Cargill and then play along with the aspect of Alexa Bliss possibly turning here on Charlotte Flair.
12:17.013 --> 12:21.939
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk about where we are going with that a little bit later in this show tonight.
12:22.800 --> 12:28.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Trick Williams, he's advanced and I said, I don't think anybody found that to be a surprise.
12:28.367 --> 12:35.215
[SPEAKER_00]: The big story, though, coming out of SmackDown is what I talked about last Friday.
12:36.657 --> 12:44.607
[SPEAKER_00]: And I reiterated this again because we went into a deep dive discussion with Stahl
12:46.409 --> 12:51.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton, he's the big ex-factor going into WrestleMania.
12:51.999 --> 12:57.670
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people are trying to figure out where we're going in certain aspects going into WrestleMania.
12:57.830 --> 13:00.655
[SPEAKER_00]: What is Randy Orton doing at WrestleMania?
13:01.917 --> 13:19.612
[SPEAKER_00]: Now a lot of people thought that with this alicester black narrative that they're playing out on television, that alicester black and rain the Orton would be a WrestleMania match because black has been saying these things about rain the Orton and we got a little bit of a promo less week from alicester black and we got a promo and a match this week.
13:20.933 --> 13:30.962
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think after the outcome of the match in the main event on SmackDown last night,
13:32.157 --> 13:35.260
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think Randy Orner and Alistair Black is happening at WrestleMania.
13:35.281 --> 13:42.208
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm glad it's hopefully moving away from that direction, not that I don't like the work of both guys.
13:42.308 --> 13:50.938
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Randy Orner's fantastic and Alistair Black, I feel like he should be better off a little bit better off than where he is on SmackDown right now.
13:50.958 --> 13:52.179
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he should be a little bit higher.
13:52.199 --> 13:56.404
[SPEAKER_00]: I would hope that WWE takes him to be a little bit more serious.
13:56.444 --> 14:01.590
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a major player just waiting in the wings if they really want to get behind
14:03.072 --> 14:04.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't find that to be a WrestleMania match.
14:06.779 --> 14:19.424
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with them at Mania, but you got to do a lot of work to make be believed, Valerister Black should be in the ring with a ring, the Orton, and give me a proper story that I actually care about and that I could invest in.
14:20.446 --> 14:22.009
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not the WrestleMania match to me.
14:22.883 --> 14:30.354
[SPEAKER_00]: the WrestleMania match, I think really kind of opened that door a little bit more last night, and it goes back to what I said Friday.
14:30.754 --> 14:38.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew McIntyre is going to be the one who determines where he goes, going into WrestleMania.
14:38.846 --> 14:51.203
[SPEAKER_00]: He holds the keys to the kingdom, and every action that Drew McIntyre shows you on Friday night is making it worse and worse and worse for him, going into
14:51.993 --> 15:19.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only did he already get involved with Cody Rhodes and Jacob fought to not only has he attacked them on multiple occasions trying to take them out so that they don't have a factor in what he does with the WWE championship not only did he try to give Sammy Zayn a win over Jacob fought to him Cody Rhodes not only did he stop Randy
15:20.309 --> 15:32.791
[SPEAKER_00]: He holds the keys to his kingdom and going into WrestleMania, all of Drew McIntyre's actions will have consequences, which brings us to the elimination chamber.
15:34.053 --> 15:43.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Brandy Orton, LA Knight, and Cody Rhodes, serve as the only three guys in that elimination chamber that have a viable chance of winning the elimination chamber.
15:43.192 --> 15:46.877
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great to see a Giovanna Evans in there, it's great to see a Shrek Williams in there.
15:47.318 --> 15:50.342
[SPEAKER_00]: That goes to the narrative of WWE getting behind their future.
15:52.124 --> 15:55.729
[SPEAKER_00]: But those three guys, the veterans are the only logical choices to win.
15:56.951 --> 16:06.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody being the odds on favorite, Randy Orton being not that far behind him and L.A. night being a dark horse, but never really going to win it.
16:06.344 --> 16:07.866
[SPEAKER_00]: And what I say last Friday chat.
16:08.858 --> 16:20.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton needs to win the elimination chamber, WWE wants to throw a wrench into the gears of the predictable aspect of their television program.
16:21.397 --> 16:21.998
[SPEAKER_00]: How do we do that?
16:23.380 --> 16:32.453
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE could easily give the elimination chamber to cut your roads and then all roads, pun intended, leads to Drew McIntyre.
16:33.428 --> 16:40.478
[SPEAKER_00]: True McIntyre versus Coderoids one-on-one is not good enough for WrestleMania, no matter how good both guys are.
16:42.060 --> 16:47.627
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to see something main event WrestleMania in the same fashion we've seen at seven times before.
16:48.609 --> 16:55.738
[SPEAKER_00]: This main event did WrestleMania Palusa, and we're still dealing with the dilemma of Coderoids and True McIntyre going into WrestleMania.
16:55.758 --> 17:02.187
[SPEAKER_00]: The one thing you cannot do is give me the same main event we saw in September, and we've
17:04.040 --> 17:10.589
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Jacob Fattu, another guy that fits into the narrative of WWE building their future.
17:11.890 --> 17:13.472
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously he's going to be a major player.
17:14.494 --> 17:20.141
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew McIntyre versus Jacob Fattu, as a one-on-one match, it's something fresh.
17:20.381 --> 17:24.266
[SPEAKER_00]: For WrestleMania, I wouldn't mind it, but is it WrestleMania S?
17:25.588 --> 17:27.110
[SPEAKER_00]: One-on-one, I don't think so.
17:28.372 --> 17:32.477
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
17:33.706 --> 17:34.947
[SPEAKER_00]: So what did I say last week?
17:35.108 --> 17:36.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton wins the elimination chamber.
17:38.231 --> 17:44.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton wins the elimination chamber and he's, and he's tasked with this, he's tasked with this situation.
17:45.620 --> 17:50.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Because true Mac and tire, he's got his eyes on Jacob fought to a quarter of drugs.
17:50.886 --> 17:54.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacob fought to less not mention these got his eyes on true Mac and tire.
17:55.452 --> 17:57.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton's just collateral damage.
17:58.917 --> 18:01.603
[SPEAKER_00]: But Drew McIntyre basically is giving you his answer.
18:01.764 --> 18:04.410
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to wrestle Jacob Fattu or Cody Rhodes.
18:04.610 --> 18:06.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Or worse, both of them at the same time.
18:08.119 --> 18:08.860
[SPEAKER_00]: So what is he going to do?
18:10.685 --> 18:11.747
[SPEAKER_00]: L.A. Knights on Raw.
18:12.569 --> 18:14.313
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not winning the elimination chamber.
18:14.915 --> 18:16.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see the Cody or Randy.
18:16.398 --> 18:17.601
[SPEAKER_00]: They're on SmackDown.
18:18.188 --> 18:20.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton is going to be collateral damage.
18:21.675 --> 18:23.458
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got to take the lesser of two evils here.
18:24.120 --> 18:28.488
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had history with Randy Orton in the past, but he doesn't want Russell Cody Rhodes because he won.
18:28.668 --> 18:33.598
[SPEAKER_00]: He already made a promise that Cody Rhodes is never getting the WWE title back and he's never going to get to Russell Mania again.
18:35.485 --> 18:43.659
[SPEAKER_00]: So McIntyre is not defending the WWE title of the elimination chamber, which in my opinion is going to make way for him getting involved in that match.
18:43.679 --> 18:59.265
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know WWE loves the elimination chamber situation where someone gets eliminated and the door remains open and McIntyre is going to find himself in the cage because he's going to force his way into the cage, he's going to claim more Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton is not going to take the route that Sammy Zaytuck.
18:59.633 --> 19:12.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Rendewon is very much going to take advantage of the situation and Rendewon is going to beat Cody Rhodes and go to WrestleMania and on paper it's going to be Randy Orton versus Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.
19:13.828 --> 19:27.902
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not going to end up being that because what I say before Drew McIntyre's actions are going to have consequences time and time and time and time again he's pushing it all this is buttons.
19:28.658 --> 19:34.706
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't think Nick Hollis is keeping a line sheet of every time Drew McIntyre has done Cody Rhodes and Jacob fought too wrong.
19:36.829 --> 19:44.500
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to add Jacob fought to him and Cody Rhodes to the match because Drew McIntyre has been begging him to without actually begging him to.
19:45.922 --> 19:48.746
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to be looking at a fatal four way.
19:48.766 --> 19:56.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew McIntyre ran the Orton Cody Rhodes and Jacob fought to for the WWE Championship
19:57.937 --> 19:58.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Then what do you do there?
20:00.340 --> 20:01.021
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you do there?
20:01.061 --> 20:05.367
[SPEAKER_00]: You could give the title back to Cody, or you can have Cody continue to chase.
20:05.867 --> 20:15.319
[SPEAKER_00]: I think taking the title off of Cody, January 9 and putting on, you know, this WrestleMania man event with him winning at April 19th, or April 18th, whenever WrestleMania's.
20:15.920 --> 20:17.502
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a little bit too soon.
20:19.184 --> 20:23.590
[SPEAKER_00]: So what I'm doing is having Randy Orton win the WWE Championship.
20:24.532 --> 20:31.683
[SPEAKER_00]: You preserve Cody Rose as the baby face champion, chasing the heel, and I turn Randy Orton heel.
20:32.645 --> 20:33.426
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I do.
20:34.287 --> 20:40.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, our perfect world, I love for Cody to go heel, but I don't think WWE's ready for that discussion.
20:41.959 --> 20:42.961
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'd love to see.
20:43.822 --> 20:44.984
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we're there yet.
20:47.568 --> 20:51.214
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Randy Orton is going to be factored into the WrestleMania main event.
20:52.156 --> 20:57.265
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to jump the gun and predict who's going to win the WWE Championship yet being that there's two months to left to go.
20:57.886 --> 21:04.557
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think we're looking at a fatal for way and I genuinely feel that's the right direction to going.
21:04.577 --> 21:06.400
[SPEAKER_00]: A one-on-one match is not going to work.
21:06.420 --> 21:15.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumac guitarvers, Codaroas, or Jacob Fattu, again, different, but I feel like there's something missing even with the aspect of that match.
21:16.642 --> 21:23.629
[SPEAKER_00]: Rain the Orton is the guy that's going to piece this puzzle together and I think that's going to solidify the night one made of it.
21:25.070 --> 21:26.612
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the rest of this show.
21:26.672 --> 21:28.874
[SPEAKER_00]: We add qualifying matches.
21:29.054 --> 21:45.130
[SPEAKER_00]: We add old Buffett Me and Kit Wilson and we add a fantastic quarter of Rhodes and Sami Zane backstage segment, which basically kickstarted Sami's story and he's going to want to finish his story over the next 12 months.
21:45.110 --> 21:52.224
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll get into it tonight or this afternoon, rather, this is your SmackDown post show for less nights SmackDown.
21:52.244 --> 21:57.895
[SPEAKER_00]: It is your Saturday February 21st, 2000s and 26.
21:57.935 --> 22:01.842
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys for joining me.
22:01.922 --> 22:05.329
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I'm not really expecting a, well, actually, you know, while we got,
22:05.697 --> 22:08.080
[SPEAKER_00]: We almost got 1500 people and I didn't expect that.
22:08.140 --> 22:10.183
[SPEAKER_00]: That's part for the course on Friday.
22:10.203 --> 22:14.829
[SPEAKER_00]: And I being out, the show has been so terrible, but I thank you guys very much for all of your support.
22:14.849 --> 22:17.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I thank you guys for backing me.
22:18.594 --> 22:20.436
[SPEAKER_00]: On social media, the last 24 hours, man.
22:20.556 --> 22:22.979
[SPEAKER_00]: It's happy to see that I got some great people on my side.
22:23.861 --> 22:31.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I am very fortunate and I'm very lucky and very proud, very happy that we are putting the past behind us and moving forward, man.
22:31.330 --> 22:32.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys very much for that.
22:33.032 --> 22:34.995
[SPEAKER_00]: And I promise not to let you guys down.
22:36.832 --> 22:38.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Follow me on social media at J.D.
22:38.233 --> 22:53.409

22:53.670 --> 22:57.654
[SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty much the norm on Tuesday night killing it with the solemn monster.
22:57.694 --> 23:05.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Wednesday just the night we were live for what I thought was probably the best dynamite in a while and I love that ending angle
23:05.873 --> 23:10.959
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Swerve Shreklin, Kenny Omega, and things cannot be any hotter.
23:10.979 --> 23:25.515
[SPEAKER_00]: At least for the main event scene, still up in the air with the rest of the show, but the main event scene, MJF leading the charge, Swerve Omega, Osprey's not back yet, but hopefully coming back, hang man.
23:26.416 --> 23:34.024
[SPEAKER_00]: World title pictures looking pretty fucking good right now, so hopefully they can keep that up and they need to really focus on making that special.
23:34.325 --> 23:40.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Because with MJF as the top guy there and all these baby faces chasing, I think that's the right recipe for success there.
23:41.595 --> 23:42.496
[SPEAKER_00]: So go check that out.
23:42.516 --> 23:49.766
[SPEAKER_00]: We also uploaded a Chris Jericho being iced by Tony Khan video.
23:49.786 --> 23:54.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Not sure if you guys heard this news, but Jericho's contract was frozen reportedly.
23:54.811 --> 24:09.546
[SPEAKER_00]: But Tony Khan and that is why he is not coming back to WWE at this present time, and will not be the one that hops out of this mystery crate, which is due to open in seven days at the elimination chain.
24:11.691 --> 24:12.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.
24:12.952 --> 24:15.814
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, part for the course for Mr. Sony Khan.
24:16.175 --> 24:17.276
[SPEAKER_00]: So go and check that out.
24:17.556 --> 24:18.457
[SPEAKER_00]: Some good stuff there.
24:19.117 --> 24:20.739
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're live this afternoon.
24:20.899 --> 24:22.260
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I'll be live on Monday.

25:13.216 --> 25:18.301
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I, I hope not as Salomonster gets cold chills with brimoid.
25:18.662 --> 25:21.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I have the same reaction to even Marie.
25:22.406 --> 25:23.047
[SPEAKER_00]: No thank you.
25:23.988 --> 25:26.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody X for that at all.
25:28.393 --> 25:28.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Smack down.
25:30.014 --> 25:31.156
[SPEAKER_00]: Start things off at the top.
25:31.176 --> 25:39.625
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Cody Rhodes opening the show and quickly interrupted by Jacob
25:40.718 --> 25:50.194
[SPEAKER_00]: and he acts the fans what they want to talk about as he's looking up at the WrestleMania 42 sign in the arena.
25:51.677 --> 25:58.569
[SPEAKER_00]: And before he could go any further Jacob Fatu, he walks out to the ring with a purpose with a microphone.
25:59.771 --> 26:05.781
[SPEAKER_00]: Fatu opens his promo, got in Cody's face and said, let's keep it 100.
26:06.233 --> 26:16.374
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Cody wouldn't even be out here talking about the elimination chamber if it weren't for Drew, thought to believe he should be in the elimination chamber or not Cody.
26:17.376 --> 26:19.741
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he had both Cody and Sammy beat last week.
26:20.302 --> 26:22.868
[SPEAKER_00]: He says his concern isn't with Cody right now.
26:24.171 --> 26:26.335
[SPEAKER_00]: He said his concern is about Drew McIntyre.
26:27.884 --> 26:41.523
[SPEAKER_00]: So before Jacob Fattu could go any further, Nick Aldis came out, Aldis said Fattu is every right to be upset after what happened last week, but he anticipated this so he gave Drew the night off so that there would not be any more issues.
26:41.543 --> 26:47.632
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he doesn't like to leave the champion off of his show, but he felt it was best for this current situation.
26:47.652 --> 26:55.883
[SPEAKER_00]: He acts Fattu to let Cody continue to speak and he invited Fattu to speak to him in his
26:56.302 --> 27:09.241
[SPEAKER_00]: was in the building and did not have the night off, he was very much in the building, and he interrupted all three guys from a luxury box.
27:09.261 --> 27:12.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew says they just can't leave his name out of their mouths.
27:13.006 --> 27:19.015
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he appreciated the night off, but he's the champion and he does what he wants.
27:19.876 --> 27:21.458
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he loves SmackDown so much.
27:21.939 --> 27:26.005
[SPEAKER_00]: That he bought himself an entire suite to watch Friday
27:26.812 --> 27:28.435
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he heard Foxy running his mouth.
27:29.196 --> 27:30.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Old gas, no brakes.
27:31.581 --> 27:33.104
[SPEAKER_00]: More like, old bark.
27:33.885 --> 27:34.647
[SPEAKER_00]: No bite.
27:36.490 --> 27:44.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, like I understand where they were going with that, but it doesn't need to sound like a second grade or wrote the promo.
27:44.725 --> 27:48.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Just saying, they mac and tires capable of a little bit more than that.
27:49.508 --> 27:53.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Fatu snapped the charged to ringside and wanted to hop the barricade.
27:53.634 --> 27:54.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Security was there.
27:54.655 --> 27:56.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Immediately trying to stop him.
27:56.798 --> 28:04.549
[SPEAKER_00]: He threw some of these geeks around and Nick all this red and right down to ringside and he pleaded with Jacob Fatu to just listen.
28:05.189 --> 28:05.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen.
28:06.651 --> 28:08.394
[SPEAKER_00]: He X him if he wants to get suspended.
28:09.596 --> 28:11.899
[SPEAKER_00]: All this says they're going to take Drew out of the arena.
28:11.939 --> 28:16.545
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he still wanted to talk with him if he was willing to go to his office.
28:17.234 --> 28:20.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Thoughts who told all this, I need him, and I need that.
28:21.920 --> 28:23.522
[SPEAKER_00]: All this sounded very sympathetic.
28:23.562 --> 28:24.684
[SPEAKER_00]: He sounded like he understood.
28:25.725 --> 28:31.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Pay attention to the sympathetic nature from Nick, all this to Jacob, thought too.
28:31.613 --> 28:35.238
[SPEAKER_00]: All this is keeping a track record of everything that's going on.
28:36.900 --> 28:42.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Thought too right now is suffering from Drew McIntyre's actions.
28:42.732 --> 28:44.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Allis is registering that.
28:45.215 --> 28:54.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody will now feel the instance of Drew McIntyre fucking him over going into the WrestleMania build after the elimination chamber.
28:55.589 --> 28:58.813
[SPEAKER_00]: And then both will be sympathetic from Nick Allis.
28:59.934 --> 29:02.578
[SPEAKER_00]: They both will guard that sympathy from Nick Allis.
29:03.539 --> 29:05.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton will win the chamber.
29:05.834 --> 29:18.528
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you have two guys in Jacob Fatsu and Cody Rhodes who are getting the sympathetic narrative from Nick Hollis and Randy Orton's already qualified in the means in which he needs to qualify for WrestleMania by winning the elimination chamber.
29:18.869 --> 29:28.179
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where you put all the all the ingredients into that big pot on the stove top where your mother's making some they post the sauce.
29:28.199 --> 29:34.947
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit of pepper, a little bit of garlic, a little bit of parsley, a regular
29:35.332 --> 29:38.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Title 4, Whitecoming at WrestleMania, that is my prediction.
29:38.618 --> 29:52.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be shocked if WWE doesn't include Randy Orton in this dilemma with Randy Orton, McIntyre, Cody, and Jacob Fattu resulting in a federal 4-way.
29:52.915 --> 29:55.899
[SPEAKER_00]: He said the whole damn world is against him because he is the champion.
29:55.919 --> 29:59.564
[SPEAKER_00]: He said everyone is jealous and everyone wants to beat him because he is the champion.
30:00.265 --> 30:02.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody then told Drew the whole world is after him.
30:02.769 --> 30:06.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Not because he's the champion, but because he's an asshole.
30:07.015 --> 30:11.902
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if Drew's an asshole.
30:12.763 --> 30:14.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we like the asshole.
30:15.987 --> 30:20.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew McIntyre is walking into WrestleMania as the WWE champion.
30:23.324 --> 30:29.917
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Nick, all this was backstage, would Jacob fought to, and this was a great follow-up.
30:31.400 --> 30:40.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it really, it really just showed you, and really made the narrative of how they got here, how long it took them to get here.
30:41.262 --> 30:42.885
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really like that they push that.
30:43.326 --> 30:48.618
[SPEAKER_00]: And it also adds another layer to the sympathy that Nick all this feels for Jacob fought to.
30:48.738 --> 30:51.023
[SPEAKER_00]: All this, stop fought to in the back.
30:51.464 --> 30:55.072
[SPEAKER_00]: And he actually could fought to how long he waited to get to WWE.
30:56.936 --> 30:57.617
[SPEAKER_00]: And
30:58.627 --> 31:03.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Fatu, obviously angry, Nick Aldis said, how long did it take you?
31:03.877 --> 31:05.059
[SPEAKER_00]: How long did it take me?
31:05.640 --> 31:07.083
[SPEAKER_00]: We're both in the same position here.
31:07.103 --> 31:08.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Took us forever to get here.
31:08.406 --> 31:08.887
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're here.
31:09.708 --> 31:10.670
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to ruin that.
31:10.710 --> 31:11.872
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to throw that away.
31:13.335 --> 31:14.277
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs him to wait.
31:15.700 --> 31:19.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Aldis needs him to wait for what?
31:20.547 --> 31:46.572
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs Jacob Fatsu to wait because Drew McIntyre is going to make another mental error, and McIntyre is going to be snipe by Nick Aldis, like you playing Call of Duty, and you got some fucking geek sitting in the back of the map, hard scope, and it's sniper rifle, and you're over there collecting tags on kill confirmed, and you're one off a kill streak, and then you get popped, it's exactly what he's waiting for.
31:48.425 --> 31:49.946
[SPEAKER_00]: federal for way.
31:49.966 --> 31:51.768
[SPEAKER_00]: Fatu says he's not going anywhere.
31:51.828 --> 31:53.810
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to wait much longer.
31:53.850 --> 31:55.411
[SPEAKER_00]: He then left the arena.
31:56.432 --> 31:59.154
[SPEAKER_00]: And he went into the park alone.
31:59.174 --> 31:59.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
32:01.096 --> 32:02.116
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what they need to do.
32:03.197 --> 32:03.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Build liars.
32:04.819 --> 32:05.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell some stories.
32:06.040 --> 32:08.162
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me a reason to care about why everything's happening.
32:08.762 --> 32:18.330
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think WWE is doing a very good job, at least with the main event scene here on Friday night.
32:18.850 --> 32:20.292
[SPEAKER_00]: for the Russell, maybe a night one, made of it.
32:23.137 --> 32:23.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Early drag off.
32:25.480 --> 32:26.963
[SPEAKER_00]: He's backstage with Carmelo Hayes.
32:27.704 --> 32:29.687
[SPEAKER_00]: He told Hayes not to miss tonight.
32:31.330 --> 32:32.331
[SPEAKER_00]: He was very intense.
32:32.411 --> 32:33.974
[SPEAKER_00]: He laughed.
32:33.994 --> 32:36.097
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said, he might have been too intense here.
32:37.259 --> 32:40.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Hayes says, he doesn't need him telling him how to be.
32:41.185 --> 32:41.746
[SPEAKER_00]: How to be him.
32:43.309 --> 32:46.714
[SPEAKER_00]: But he says, he should direct that enthusiasm to his match.
32:48.196 --> 32:50.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon off calm down, he said he believes in is.
32:51.442 --> 32:57.292
[SPEAKER_00]: He says that he not Hayes will walk in Sarasalmania as the United States champion.
33:00.118 --> 33:02.402
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what we're doing with the United States championship.
33:03.764 --> 33:07.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't be surprised if WWE sets up a multi-med match for the United States championship.
33:09.114 --> 33:10.356
[SPEAKER_00]: A ladder match, maybe.
33:12.074 --> 33:20.383
[SPEAKER_00]: I am more invested in a one-on-one match where there's just a story and then a baby face opposing a story and a heel.
33:21.465 --> 33:23.166
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm interested in.
33:23.186 --> 33:23.707
[SPEAKER_00]: One-on-one.
33:24.067 --> 33:30.274
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing greater than a true one-on-one title program where they story that we can actually get invested in.
33:31.276 --> 33:39.685
[SPEAKER_00]: When you start adding this guy and that guy and this guy who don't deserve it and this guy who's been sitting around not doing much of anything.
33:41.673 --> 33:46.082
[SPEAKER_00]: You start graying the areas of why it's important.
33:47.806 --> 33:48.908
[SPEAKER_00]: It should feel important.
33:50.191 --> 33:55.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Elliott Dragonoff is one of the few guys on this roster that's been lobbying for the United States Championship match.
33:57.066 --> 34:01.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we get Carmella Hays versus Elliott Dragonoff for the United States Championship of WrestleMania.
34:02.615 --> 34:05.640
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't give a fuck who the United States Championship is defended against.
34:05.820 --> 34:13.833
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to see Carmelo Hayes get what he deserves and get that United States Championship on the WrestleMania card and not the Friday before WrestleMania.
34:15.195 --> 34:18.401
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need that alongside the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
34:18.741 --> 34:25.252
[SPEAKER_00]: The guys had some banger matches this year and he's also putting together quietly some rest of the year credentials.
34:26.514 --> 34:29.078
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't leave someone like that off the WrestleMania card.
34:29.716 --> 34:35.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially with the United States Championship being a primary focus on Friday night for the last six or seven months.
34:36.227 --> 34:39.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Every week's been a fucking open challenge minus a week here or a week there.
34:40.315 --> 34:42.538
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't leave that off the WrestleMania card.
34:44.322 --> 34:46.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I would love a one-on-one match with trick Williams.
34:46.586 --> 34:48.028
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we're going there.
34:48.548 --> 34:51.131
[SPEAKER_00]: By what we're seeing, I don't think we're going there.
34:51.371 --> 34:53.494
[SPEAKER_00]: I love to see it just based off their history.
34:53.934 --> 34:57.258
[SPEAKER_00]: I love to see it because it would mean trick Williams as a heel.
34:57.759 --> 35:02.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Ends the open challenge and a heel's not going to continue the open challenge because that's not what heels do.
35:04.126 --> 35:18.083
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that would be a great WrestleMania match for the United States Championship, but it looks like trick Williams is not going after the United States Championship and creatives got something bigger in my trick Williams.
35:18.248 --> 35:27.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Carmelo Hayes, Dragon of Nakamura, Tamatonga, Zach Ryder, Mac Cardona, Apollo Cruz.
35:27.643 --> 35:36.657
[SPEAKER_00]: We could be looking at a conglomeration of talents in a ladder match for the United States Championship, which I know the fans alike because everybody's a sucker for a fucking multi-man ladder match.
35:36.878 --> 35:38.180
[SPEAKER_00]: But how many times have we seen that?
35:39.101 --> 35:45.792
[SPEAKER_00]: That's basically getting everybody on the card because you don't want to leave anybody out and you're doing it because you're
35:46.025 --> 35:48.650
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody else really factors into anything WrestleMania related.
35:50.133 --> 35:50.874
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of lazy.
35:52.337 --> 36:01.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I've always been of the mindset that WrestleMania even though it's two nights should be reserved for what's most important and not because she have two nights.
36:01.114 --> 36:02.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get everybody on the card.
36:03.519 --> 36:04.000
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
36:04.840 --> 36:10.587
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I was such a big fan of the way Triple H handled NXT takeover when black and gold was around five matches tops.
36:11.088 --> 36:21.962
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a prize that you worked towards and not everybody was able to earn it and only the best of the best of the best went to takeover.
36:23.224 --> 36:34.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe my mentality is a little bit different, but it looks like we're going towards a lot of match here for the United States Championship.
36:35.047 --> 36:37.315
[SPEAKER_00]: in the United States Championship title picture.
36:37.336 --> 36:43.639
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the MRTs are largely awful television.
36:44.210 --> 36:52.058
[SPEAKER_00]: There is such an absolute fucking terrible vortex with the Wyatt 6 and the MFTs.
36:52.198 --> 36:56.543
[SPEAKER_00]: It is some of the worst television that you will find anywhere in professional wrestling.
36:56.563 --> 37:06.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody cares about it, it's fucking lame and the entire premise of the storyline isn't even the tag team championships because there's no fucking division outside the MFTs and the Wyatt 6.
37:06.353 --> 37:07.855
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all about the lantern.
37:09.016 --> 37:12.359
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why the lantern is so vital to solo sokoa.
37:12.399 --> 37:13.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Does he sleep with it on?
37:13.840 --> 37:15.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he afraid of the fucking dark when he goes to sleep?
37:16.703 --> 37:21.227
[SPEAKER_00]: Does he use it to find his way to the fucking refrigerator at midnight to go get himself a midnight snack?
37:21.587 --> 37:27.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Does he find it helpful when he gets up from a nice sleep to go slumber into the restroom?
37:28.834 --> 37:29.754
[SPEAKER_00]: I got her on the stand there.
37:32.337 --> 37:33.418
[SPEAKER_00]: The fucking lantern.
37:34.799 --> 37:38.382
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all about the lantern.
37:39.526 --> 37:42.109
[SPEAKER_00]: but there's a sub-story here happening with time at Tonga.
37:43.751 --> 37:52.380
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm gonna tell you right now, you know, Jeff Cobb, JC Mateo, Jeff Cobb is fucking fantastic.
37:52.540 --> 37:53.762
[SPEAKER_00]: As a worker is fantastic.
37:55.143 --> 38:02.091
[SPEAKER_00]: But creative has not done him any favors and he's settled into being nothing more than like, number four.
38:02.864 --> 38:09.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, number three in the MFTs, Tolotanga is going to stand out because he's fucking big.
38:09.552 --> 38:17.401
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you got Tamatanga who is in this little sub-story in then solo and then Jeff Cobb and then Tonga Loa.
38:18.402 --> 38:22.507
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody cares about Tonga Loa.
38:22.527 --> 38:31.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatanga, in my opinion, if they were going to break one guy away, who's got to look
38:32.345 --> 38:34.570
[SPEAKER_00]: the promo, the intensity.
38:34.610 --> 38:41.043
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's time at Tonga to break him away from the MFTs and have him go solo.
38:42.126 --> 38:43.529
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a good move.
38:44.691 --> 38:45.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Because none of this is working.
38:46.736 --> 38:48.379
[SPEAKER_00]: They're all drowning together.
38:49.270 --> 39:05.967
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you have any desire to build any one of these guys up and give Smackdown another good piece, another good talent for whatever you may want to use them for, then I think time at Target is the right guy to break away from the MFTs and have him go single.
39:07.069 --> 39:16.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he fits all the boxes or checks all the boxes, fits the criteria.
39:17.570 --> 39:19.857
[SPEAKER_00]: He wins over dragon often on Friday night.
39:20.339 --> 39:26.398
[SPEAKER_00]: He pinned Carmelo Hayes in that big 10 man tag last week, which don't you think they're going to come back to that.
39:26.438 --> 39:27.180
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course they are.
39:28.404 --> 39:31.714
[SPEAKER_00]: He's eventually going to get the United States championship.
39:32.285 --> 39:37.592
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what happens there, but I don't really foresee time at Tonga Pinin Carmelo Hayes to the United States Championship.
39:37.612 --> 39:49.466
[SPEAKER_00]: The MFT's meeting get make it involved and he may blame them for why he's not the United States Championship and that may cause a ripple effect and cause a split happening between time at Tonga in the MFT's.
39:50.988 --> 39:54.833
[SPEAKER_00]: But I like this little sub-story that they're telling and it got a little bit more
39:55.792 --> 40:03.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Advanced, they advanced a little bit more, later in the show when they had a little interaction with Tamatong and Shinsuke Nakamura in the locker room.
40:05.183 --> 40:11.190
[SPEAKER_00]: So Dragon often Tamatonga here took place, and this was obviously for positioning in the United States Championship title picture.
40:12.231 --> 40:13.613
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll pick it up after the commercial break.
40:14.154 --> 40:15.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatong was in control.
40:15.435 --> 40:22.103
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a spot where I seen some people complaining online about Dragon All of in the shops,
40:22.859 --> 40:24.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Go back to the Royal Rumble.
40:24.801 --> 40:31.669
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was dragging off just viciously sharp rock, Lesnar, and then Lesnar dumped him out like he was fucking Monday morning's garbage.
40:33.411 --> 40:34.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like that.
40:35.693 --> 40:36.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, I didn't like it.
40:37.115 --> 40:44.303
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the things I was very critical of the Royal Rumble, one of the things about the Royal Rumble is most critical about besides being an awful show.
40:45.745 --> 40:52.292
[SPEAKER_00]: The match itself and that spot really stuck out to me.
40:52.373 --> 41:00.950
[SPEAKER_00]: You can do that to a guy like Tozawa, who wants to shop rock luster and it's nothing more than fucking pesky nats on the float that you lie disrupting your barbecue.
41:01.811 --> 41:04.637
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't do that to a guy like Dregnoth.
41:04.657 --> 41:08.204
[SPEAKER_00]: So what does WWE do from that moment because they know everybody complained about that?
41:08.504 --> 41:12.913
[SPEAKER_00]: They take that spot and now they're doing it week by week the last few weeks.
41:14.058 --> 41:18.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon of his chopping, Tamatongi here, and it's fucking not even like a shop.
41:18.846 --> 41:24.895
[SPEAKER_00]: It's multiple, hard, knife-edged shops, rapid fire fashion.
41:25.596 --> 41:29.122
[SPEAKER_00]: And Tamatonga, he's like fucking in the Matrix.
41:29.142 --> 41:31.265
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like Neo in the Matrix, just dodging bullets.
41:32.247 --> 41:37.315
[SPEAKER_00]: Scott takes like six or seven fucking shops from Dragon of, and he just walks right through them.
41:38.813 --> 41:48.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are we dumbing down Dragon Oves offense who in absolutely no way shape or form has shown any weakness in what he does in the ring?
41:49.955 --> 41:51.538
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't do campy comedy.
41:52.160 --> 41:55.827
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't do anything lacking.
41:55.891 --> 41:56.913
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not weak.
41:57.794 --> 41:59.356
[SPEAKER_00]: He's never been presented as weak.
41:59.396 --> 42:09.232
[SPEAKER_00]: He's always been presented as this fucking, this, this hard nose russian who's just absolutely fucking psychotic and ballistic.
42:10.594 --> 42:13.819
[SPEAKER_00]: And he goes in there and he wrestles like a fucking madman.
42:14.660 --> 42:15.942
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the mad dragon.
42:17.103 --> 42:28.937
[SPEAKER_00]: did you got this guy rapid firing shops on time at a time it's on go of all people, time it's on because that a small guy, but when you do something like that, you're only dumbing down his move.
42:28.957 --> 42:29.578
[SPEAKER_00]: Or it's offense.
42:31.480 --> 42:36.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I get it with Lesnar should have been done, but nobody is Brock Lesnar.
42:38.428 --> 42:46.418
[SPEAKER_00]: So what they did last night in my opinion is make time it's on go on par with Brock Lesnar.
42:47.444 --> 42:49.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, do they want to build up Tamatanga as something more?
42:49.907 --> 42:52.230
[SPEAKER_00]: And the eyes of the fans, maybe.
42:53.332 --> 42:59.820
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't really understand why dumbing down, dragon of offense is something that we need to see yet.
42:59.860 --> 43:01.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supposed to watch Monday and I raw.
43:01.703 --> 43:02.644
[SPEAKER_00]: And when J. U.S.O.
43:02.664 --> 43:08.732
[SPEAKER_00]: delivers one fucking half S-spear, that doesn't even look like a spear.
43:08.752 --> 43:11.916
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like he's spearing his fucking son in a pillow fight.
43:13.685 --> 43:14.987
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supposed to believe J. U.S.
43:15.007 --> 43:24.159
[SPEAKER_00]: So, sparing somebody is more than enough to win a pro wrestling match, but Tamatonger is walks right through, elite Dragon Oves, 9, 10, 11, 12, rapid fire chops.
43:24.299 --> 43:25.241
[SPEAKER_00]: You fucking kidding me.
43:26.623 --> 43:27.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me a fucking break.
43:30.588 --> 43:31.709
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do a little bit better there.
43:33.232 --> 43:34.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Get like they're doing it more as a ha ha.
43:36.216 --> 43:38.038
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not really making Dragon Ove look good.
43:42.541 --> 43:44.745
[SPEAKER_00]: So we come back from the break.
43:44.765 --> 43:45.987
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatong is in control.
43:46.047 --> 43:47.128
[SPEAKER_00]: He talked to Dragon Allvey.
43:47.148 --> 43:48.230
[SPEAKER_00]: He was met with some strikes.
43:49.572 --> 43:51.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Back and forth, they go with some blows.
43:51.876 --> 43:53.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Double down, Dragon Allvey.
43:53.238 --> 43:55.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatonga took each other out with a double clothes line.
43:57.104 --> 43:59.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Both men got themselves back up.
43:59.548 --> 44:01.211
[SPEAKER_00]: They continued to throw strikes in each other.
44:01.231 --> 44:04.096
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatonga, Tamatonga attempted a reverse DDT.
44:05.498 --> 44:08.683
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was turned into a German superluxed by Dragon Allvey.
44:10.570 --> 44:17.900
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's got to grip around Tamatonger's waist does drag and off and he managed to hit two suplexes until Tamatonga escaped.
44:19.262 --> 44:26.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatonga could not escape Dragon Ops, Constantine Special, which he nailed and he went for a near fall only got a two count out of it.
44:26.833 --> 44:29.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon off, headed up top, Tamal recovered.
44:30.818 --> 44:40.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Got him in a flat liner, he goes for cover he gets a two count.
44:40.608 --> 44:43.993
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he was counted into a big time throw by Dragonoff.
44:44.013 --> 44:48.741
[SPEAKER_00]: He then headed up top and he had Tamatong in his sights for his big centon.
44:48.761 --> 44:53.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragonoff had Tamat dead to rights for the age bomb.
44:53.448 --> 44:58.937
[SPEAKER_00]: J.C. Matteo jumped on the apron and tried to distract.
44:59.204 --> 45:02.389
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got a roll-up from Tamatanga, which failed.
45:02.429 --> 45:08.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamga Loa, he gets on the apron, and he causes the distraction, which a lot of Tamatanga to hit.
45:09.080 --> 45:18.414
[SPEAKER_00]: The hidden blade, or what he calls the cutthroat, on dragon-off, and he pins, Iliadragon-off, one, two, three.
45:19.756 --> 45:21.499
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't get it clean.
45:21.715 --> 45:31.007
[SPEAKER_00]: And he had help from the MFTs, but a win over Iliadragon of puts him squarely in position for a United States championship match.
45:32.448 --> 45:34.171
[SPEAKER_00]: When and where I don't know.
45:35.652 --> 45:39.878
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are definitely headed towards that one on one match sooner rather than later.
45:39.958 --> 45:47.267
[SPEAKER_00]: After the match, all of Sicoa dressed the crowd on the microphone and said this was going to happen as this was the MFTs show.
45:47.973 --> 45:52.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon of Jump, Sequoa, and it was a five on one here.
45:52.879 --> 45:55.232
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the Mad Dragon for a reason.
45:55.550 --> 46:00.558
[SPEAKER_00]: So he jumped the MFTs by jumping on solo five on one.
46:00.618 --> 46:03.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt Cardona tries to come make the save.
46:03.804 --> 46:05.527
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets tossed into the barricade.
46:06.208 --> 46:07.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Paolo Cruz came out.
46:08.231 --> 46:10.094
[SPEAKER_00]: He got destroyed by Tolotanga.
46:10.655 --> 46:14.882
[SPEAKER_00]: The MFTs, they wanted to continue beating up the baby faces from catering.
46:15.703 --> 46:22.114
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we get the lights going out and the Wyatt six show up on the big screen with a promo from Uncle Howdy.
46:23.039 --> 46:28.746
[SPEAKER_00]: He addressed Solosico in the video and said that it was time for everyone to see if Solo could stand in the ring alone.
46:29.687 --> 46:32.971
[SPEAKER_00]: The next time how he stood in the ring, he was going to stand alone.
46:33.752 --> 46:37.177
[SPEAKER_00]: It was time to see if Solo was mad enough to do the same.
46:38.979 --> 46:39.640
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody cares.
46:41.182 --> 46:49.452
[SPEAKER_00]: The whole vibe of the Wyatt Six is not entertaining at all.
46:50.140 --> 46:55.170
[SPEAKER_00]: You made this entire feud about something, I don't think any of the audience genuinely cares about.
46:57.014 --> 47:07.394
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE has done a poor job of giving us a reason why the fucking luncheon was so important to Uncle Howdy in the Wyatt 6 to begin with, now I'm supposed to care about the fucking Lancer being stolen in the possession of solace to go.
47:07.414 --> 47:10.360
[SPEAKER_00]: I now Uncle Howdy want to get the Lancer back for the Wyatt 6.
47:12.044 --> 47:14.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it about the lantern or the tag team champion chips?
47:14.687 --> 47:29.003
[SPEAKER_00]: If WWE put as much effort into this fucking lantern as they would the tag team championships maybe we'd actually be progressing the tag team titles to be a little bit more important and maybe the tag team division to be a little bit more important.
47:30.745 --> 47:36.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas there is no division and everybody's just watching Johnny Gargano in the back lay on a fucking crate.
47:39.601 --> 47:40.842
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the tag team division.
47:40.862 --> 47:46.869
[SPEAKER_00]: You got fraxing in the modesty machine guns looking up a Johnny Gorgano or looking at him on a fucking NXT crate.
47:49.472 --> 47:54.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we got the tag team division dying because they don't give a shit.
47:57.822 --> 48:00.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Just weird weird weird behavior man.
48:00.305 --> 48:01.186
[SPEAKER_00]: We're creative.
48:01.587 --> 48:02.027
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
48:03.429 --> 48:03.789
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
48:05.792 --> 48:07.093
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Aldis.
48:08.643 --> 48:10.486
[SPEAKER_00]: He was backstage with Drew McIntyre.
48:10.526 --> 48:19.120
[SPEAKER_00]: He blasted Drew McIntyre for his recent behavior, and he's made things difficult on Nick Alder, she says.
48:20.222 --> 48:22.586
[SPEAKER_00]: He threatened McIntyre if you keep pushing me.
48:23.448 --> 48:28.316
[SPEAKER_00]: He basically said, I know so many words, continue to fuck around, and you will find out.
48:29.297 --> 48:31.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, layers.
48:32.133 --> 48:39.343
[SPEAKER_00]: adding to what's going to happen when Randy Orton eventually wins the elimination chamber because true mac and tar can't help himself.
48:41.445 --> 48:46.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton speaking of which he was interviewed by Byron Saxon.
48:48.575 --> 48:52.841
[SPEAKER_00]: He was interviewed by being in the elimination chamber when Alistair Black and Zelina Vega confronted him.
48:54.763 --> 49:01.212
[SPEAKER_00]: These two have been cutting these cryptic promos on Randy Orton.
49:02.356 --> 49:07.002
[SPEAKER_00]: So byron axed about the competition, it'll be facing in the chamber.
49:07.022 --> 49:08.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Orton said, everyone is on edge.
49:09.444 --> 49:13.009
[SPEAKER_00]: He was about to speak about being in the ring, the Cody and Walks Elena.
49:13.710 --> 49:18.235
[SPEAKER_00]: She laughed and said, it's almost, has if they predicted him in Cody going to battle?
49:19.196 --> 49:20.578
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, there's only one road.
49:21.759 --> 49:27.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Alistair Black walked in and said, at one time, the locker room feared nothing more than an RKO.
49:28.387 --> 49:30.810
[SPEAKER_00]: But now he's asking, what happened to Randy Orton?
49:31.685 --> 49:40.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Who in says, I know what you're trying to do, and the only Randy, what in that you need to be focused on is the one standing in front of you because that's the one that's going to RKO you.
49:41.155 --> 49:43.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Or what in challenge seems to a match in the main events.
49:44.418 --> 49:47.281
[SPEAKER_00]: And Black said, you might think it's buried.
49:47.341 --> 49:52.026
[SPEAKER_00]: But consider me the shovel that will dig it back up.
49:54.528 --> 49:56.410
[SPEAKER_00]: What exactly does black mean?
49:57.993 --> 50:00.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Has anybody thought about what Alistair Black said here?
50:01.599 --> 50:03.261
[SPEAKER_00]: You might think it's buried.
50:04.363 --> 50:05.024
[SPEAKER_00]: What's buried?
50:06.306 --> 50:08.870
[SPEAKER_00]: But consider me the shovel that will dig it back up.
50:11.073 --> 50:16.482
[SPEAKER_00]: So when people say that Alistair Black has basically donned the gimmick of carrying cross.
50:17.343 --> 50:22.431
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that WWE didn't bring back cross and scarlet, they are not far off.
50:22.900 --> 50:36.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Alistair Black is speaking in these cryptic tones with these cryptic messages and what I decipher here is that he believes Randy Orton is not operating in his most genuine nature.
50:37.565 --> 51:00.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's talking about Randy Orton wanting, well, not Randy, not wanting it, but Randy Orton basically taking everybody for a fool, Randy Orton playing this nice guy character wanting to do what's right and walk the right path, but he feels like the real Randy Orton hasn't shown himself yet, and the real Randy Orton is being hidden away by this fake that we see on the current Randy Orton.
51:01.140 --> 51:06.829
[SPEAKER_00]: What does he want to dig back up, he wants to dig up the Viper, he wants to dig back up
51:07.518 --> 51:13.930
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Randy Orton is eventually going to succumb to all of what Alistair Black is saying here.
51:13.970 --> 51:18.297
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Alistair Black is basically giving us little droplets.
51:18.778 --> 51:20.241
[SPEAKER_00]: He's giving us little blood crumbs.
51:20.922 --> 51:22.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that heel turn is coming.
51:22.846 --> 51:24.929
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know when, we don't know how.
51:25.611 --> 51:29.538
[SPEAKER_00]: But Alistair Black is teasing a Randy Orton heel turn soon.
51:29.578 --> 51:31.922
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love that.
51:32.780 --> 51:47.954
[SPEAKER_00]: but I just find it ridiculous how WWE wouldn't bring back carrying across in Scarlet who I thought played this gimmick incredibly well and said you know what we're going to cut budget let them go and just give what they were doing to Alistair Black and Zalina Vega.
51:50.977 --> 51:51.578
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of weird.
51:53.380 --> 51:53.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of weird.
51:56.422 --> 52:02.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Byron Sachs and interviewed Naya Jax and Lash legend.
52:03.965 --> 52:07.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack's said she'll win tonight in her qualifying match.
52:07.969 --> 52:12.734
[SPEAKER_00]: And then next week, Lash and her will win, the tag team titles from Rio Ripley and EOS guy.
52:15.997 --> 52:16.617
[SPEAKER_00]: Jade Cargill.
52:18.139 --> 52:19.380
[SPEAKER_00]: She made a way out to the ring.
52:20.301 --> 52:21.883
[SPEAKER_00]: Right back to not defending the title.
52:22.723 --> 52:25.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Get ready for another 100 days without a title defense.
52:26.727 --> 52:28.349
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we got two months to the WrestleMania.
52:29.130 --> 52:30.411
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll at least get to 60.
52:32.821 --> 52:49.386
[SPEAKER_00]: J. Cargill met her way out and apparently she said, live Morgan is going to make a decision on Monday, not raw on who she's wrestling at WrestleMania to the going to be Stephanie Stephanie of a car or J. Cargill.
52:50.348 --> 52:51.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the spoiler folks.
52:51.469 --> 52:53.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Live Morgan's not choosing J. Cargill.
52:55.075 --> 52:55.516
[SPEAKER_00]: She code.
52:56.818 --> 52:57.799
[SPEAKER_00]: She code.
52:58.403 --> 53:01.727
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely think that there is a slight possibility.
53:01.747 --> 53:04.491
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's the way we're going to go, though.
53:06.273 --> 53:08.856
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE has kind of tease you here, tease you there.
53:09.296 --> 53:14.563
[SPEAKER_00]: But what was the match that people dating back to fourth quarter last year?
53:14.964 --> 53:27.499
[SPEAKER_00]: What was the match that people were predicting would be the WrestleMania Women's Championship match before anything got going?
53:29.015 --> 53:52.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, it would be weird for WWE to play the stories out and have Stephanie go out on Monday and out on a life sit down with Michael Cole and make Liv Morgan cry in her promo, it would be weird to do all that and just kind of flip the script and do re-erriply winning the elimination chamber and challenging Stephanie for care because that's what we all predicted back late last year.
53:53.855 --> 53:55.477
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the biggest WrestleMania match.
53:55.577 --> 53:56.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could do.
53:56.498 --> 53:58.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the best WrestleMania match.
53:58.300 --> 54:00.623
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do out of everything that is possible.
54:01.664 --> 54:04.728
[SPEAKER_00]: With everything that's in front of you, that's the best match to do.
54:08.212 --> 54:11.435
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about the women's elimination match in a second.
54:12.337 --> 54:18.804
[SPEAKER_00]: But Jade said she's going to Monday night to be in attendance as Liv makes her decision.
54:20.486 --> 54:22.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, again,
54:22.306 --> 54:30.278
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a slight chance that Liv Morgan chooses Jake Cargill, Maria Ripley wins the elimination chamber, and she's tasked with wrestling staff and even care.
54:31.500 --> 54:41.576
[SPEAKER_00]: Could be that would wipe away weeks of television and be kind of aware that WWE gave us these weeks of television only to go back and do nothing in regards to it.
54:44.561 --> 54:45.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Just throwing that out there.
54:49.154 --> 54:51.256
[SPEAKER_00]: So she'll be on raw Monday.
54:51.396 --> 54:53.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Jade said she defends her title on her time.
54:53.838 --> 54:58.162
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a way to basically say, we got nothing for you.
54:59.484 --> 55:03.988
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, whoever comes out of the chamber, be Charlotte, Alexa Bliss, E.O.
55:04.008 --> 55:09.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Sky, Tiffany Schretton, I, Jacksbury, Ripley, she was very deliberate with the way she said these names.
55:10.534 --> 55:18.081
[SPEAKER_00]: She gave enough time in between each names for the crowd to react, because they weren't reacting to anything else she said.
55:18.247 --> 55:23.656
[SPEAKER_00]: At the end of the day, she'll leave Russell Manie as the champ because I am still that bitch.
55:26.500 --> 55:29.685
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
55:29.705 --> 55:31.748
[SPEAKER_00]: To James suck or does James suck?
55:33.551 --> 55:37.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Zero interest and zero emotional investment in anything the woman does.
55:38.379 --> 55:39.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a fan.
55:40.825 --> 55:48.674
[SPEAKER_00]: She made a way out to the stage and at that same time Charlottes music played and she walked by Jade Cargill.
55:50.035 --> 55:58.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Bad, this little pause, Charlotte eyed the title, she then looked at Jade's face and that kept walking.
55:59.746 --> 56:03.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Jade got in her face, Charlotte let out a big woo!
56:04.163 --> 56:07.406
[SPEAKER_00]: referee ran out, who was referring this match and separated them.
56:07.467 --> 56:08.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte continued to head to the ring.
56:09.529 --> 56:17.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Another subtle tease that Jake Cargill and Charlotte Flair may be a potential program for some point this year.
56:19.399 --> 56:21.421
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte Naya and Keanu James.
56:22.943 --> 56:26.286
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the women's elimination chamber qualifier.
56:28.008 --> 56:33.394
[SPEAKER_00]: This was not bad.
56:34.707 --> 56:35.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you three letters.
56:36.389 --> 56:37.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Can anybody spell it out?
56:38.871 --> 56:40.874
[SPEAKER_00]: N-I-A-Naya.
56:43.516 --> 56:45.278
[SPEAKER_00]: She's what brought the match down.
56:47.361 --> 56:49.963
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll pick it up after the commercial break.
56:49.983 --> 56:51.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana and Charlotte were going at it.
56:53.207 --> 57:00.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Flair headed up top, connected on a diving crossbody on Kiana James, and then she chopped away at both Kiana and Naya.
57:01.336 --> 57:04.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Flair hit her signature Summersault Closed Line.
57:04.694 --> 57:17.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Tanki Ana, and the focused on Naya, she ended up on the apron, James Superkick Flair ended up on Naya shoulders, Flair connected with the kick and knocked both ladies down.
57:18.727 --> 57:29.617
[SPEAKER_00]: Flair goes up to the top, wrote both Naya and Kiana are laying side to side, Charlotte goes off the top with her moon salt and only gets a two count on both of them.
57:29.637 --> 57:31.579
[SPEAKER_00]: She pinned both of them, only a two.
57:33.550 --> 57:35.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Flair is feeling it feeding off the crowd.
57:35.412 --> 57:38.795
[SPEAKER_00]: She reversed an attempted power bomb by Naya into a hurricane.
57:38.815 --> 57:44.920
[SPEAKER_00]: Rana, Jack's recovered hits a very sloppy looking Samoan drop on Charlotte.
57:44.940 --> 58:03.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Flair dropping her right on her hip, James got herself back up and she again did the same spot that she did in the Royal Rumble by lifting Naya Jax on her shoulders with a power up
58:03.402 --> 58:04.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Excellent stuff.
58:05.484 --> 58:10.650
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, Kiana needs to be on everyone's radar telling you right now.
58:11.931 --> 58:13.313
[SPEAKER_00]: She's very, very impressive.
58:14.494 --> 58:16.336
[SPEAKER_00]: James had it up top.
58:16.356 --> 58:20.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Jackson rolled out of the ring, flare, got back up, stopped James on the top.
58:21.802 --> 58:28.629
[SPEAKER_00]: And Charlotte, at my request, because I've been asking for it, finally broke out the Spanish fly.
58:29.750 --> 58:32.093
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte's got a very good Spanish fly.
58:32.377 --> 58:33.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got to give her credit.
58:33.999 --> 58:36.683
[SPEAKER_00]: She's actually fixed the moon salt too, which is good.
58:37.825 --> 58:42.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only are we doing the moon salt better and doing it in the ring instead of doing it outside because outside it looked terrible.
58:43.734 --> 58:46.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she's doing it in the ring and she added the Spanish fly.
58:46.598 --> 58:47.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Good stuff.
58:49.002 --> 58:56.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this is where I got a little dicey because after the Spanish fly, the referee counted one, two and I thought this was over.
58:57.605 --> 59:01.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana and they showed the replay, which I don't know why they did.
59:01.913 --> 59:03.717
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana did not get her shoulder up.
59:04.839 --> 59:05.380
[SPEAKER_00]: She did not.
59:05.440 --> 59:10.470
[SPEAKER_00]: The referee stopped his count, 100% because that's not the end of the match.
59:11.332 --> 59:14.398
[SPEAKER_00]: And Charlotte was not the scheduled winner here.
59:14.716 --> 59:18.622
[SPEAKER_00]: But man, Kiana, I don't know if it was a lapse of judgment or she just forgot.
59:19.043 --> 59:21.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe she was knocked a little silly off the Spanish flight.
59:22.047 --> 59:27.315
[SPEAKER_00]: The referee stopped his count and Kiana after a three should have realistically been made.
59:27.796 --> 59:34.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Just absolutely weekly gets her shoulder up, she like flares her arm up off the mat.
59:34.446 --> 59:38.432
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, man, that's kind of a shame because that was a nice spot.
59:38.733 --> 59:43.440
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was, I mean, that was basically the recount.
59:44.905 --> 59:49.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte tried to run the ropes, Jax pulled her out of the ring, and threw her into the ring post.
59:50.494 --> 59:52.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Naya put Flair back into the ring.
59:53.078 --> 59:59.288
[SPEAKER_00]: She was with a boot by Kiana, Naya attempted a running charge, but ended up running right into the steel steps.
59:59.990 --> 01:00:04.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Back in the ring, Flair had Jax in the figure four, which was never applied.
01:00:05.238 --> 01:00:10.727
[SPEAKER_00]: Naya Jax was never in the figure four, but Charlotte tried to transition into the figure eight.
01:00:11.382 --> 01:00:17.749
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how impactful the figure it's going to be if the figure four is not applied.
01:00:19.411 --> 01:00:20.492
[SPEAKER_00]: The move was never applied.
01:00:21.813 --> 01:00:23.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Flare arched into the figure eight.
01:00:24.777 --> 01:00:31.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana James slid in at the last second and got the pin on Charlotte flare, which was actually a very creative ending here.
01:00:31.984 --> 01:00:40.714
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana actually was very slie in the way she pinched Charlotte, nicely done at the end there.
01:00:41.892 --> 01:00:54.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the match was a little sloppy at times with Keon and not getting a shoulder up and now you're just being sloppy yourself and Charlotte not getting the figure eights applied correctly on NIA Jax minus the sloppyness here and there.
01:00:54.451 --> 01:01:03.003
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was actually pretty enjoyable because I think Charlotte and Keonna held the match together when they were in there themselves.
01:01:03.043 --> 01:01:05.487
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think NIA Jax really had anything to the match.
01:01:06.580 --> 01:01:09.184
[SPEAKER_00]: And we XWW for a little bit of unpredictability.
01:01:09.224 --> 01:01:12.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I think everybody expected Charlotte Flair to win this match.
01:01:13.310 --> 01:01:14.873
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got to give WW credit.
01:01:14.953 --> 01:01:16.375
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't expect you on James to win this.
01:01:17.597 --> 01:01:20.421
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking at this as a positive.
01:01:20.441 --> 01:01:28.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you guys may not be looking at it as a positive because that doesn't really vote well for the winner of the elimination chamber, whether you like Tiffany Stratton will re-erriply.
01:01:29.455 --> 01:01:33.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Because those are the only two that I really see winning the elimination chamber.
01:01:34.508 --> 01:01:38.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana James is a up-and-coming new talent on the roster.
01:01:39.133 --> 01:01:42.357
[SPEAKER_00]: The future WWE needs to focus on that, the future.
01:01:43.218 --> 01:01:48.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Kiana James fits into that category, same thing with the men, Albert Famie, Brombraker, Javan Evans.
01:01:49.686 --> 01:01:52.149
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to start building for the future, Jacob Fattu.
01:01:53.250 --> 01:01:54.592
[SPEAKER_00]: So Kiana James fits into that.
01:01:55.533 --> 01:01:58.997
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got Kiana in the elimination chamber.
01:01:59.112 --> 01:02:09.341
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's very good because WWE's giving you, hey, this is who we have tasked with leading this division at some point in the future.
01:02:10.502 --> 01:02:11.443
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no problem with that.
01:02:12.444 --> 01:02:13.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Charlotte's not in.
01:02:14.285 --> 01:02:21.652
[SPEAKER_00]: We all expected Charlotte and Jade because Bianca Belair has finger surgery and she's not going to be factored into the title program.
01:02:21.932 --> 01:02:24.334
[SPEAKER_00]: So now we're looking at an elimination chamber.
01:02:24.394 --> 01:02:29.018
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a little bit more narrow than it was before this match.
01:02:29.335 --> 01:02:37.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte's not in, he always not qualified yet, maybe she will qualify on Monday, maybe not.
01:02:37.747 --> 01:02:38.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.
01:02:38.668 --> 01:02:44.737
[SPEAKER_00]: A real Ripley and Tiffany Shratton are number one and two odds on favor to win this.
01:02:45.578 --> 01:02:48.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Does anybody want Tiffany Shratton to win the elimination chamber?
01:02:48.783 --> 01:02:50.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I certainly fucking don't.
01:02:50.733 --> 01:03:11.948
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you look at the current trajectory of the WWE right now, if re-ripply and a US guy are still the tag team champions, which is very likely going into WrestleMania, I'm assuming they will be defending in a multi-woman affair, multi-person match at WrestleMania because there's a lot of teams that are vying for those titles.
01:03:12.147 --> 01:03:14.309
[SPEAKER_00]: But then on the flip side, you got Tiffany Shratton and Jake Cargill.
01:03:14.669 --> 01:03:15.950
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw this match twice.
01:03:16.431 --> 01:03:19.013
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anybody wants to see it again because let's be real.
01:03:19.033 --> 01:03:20.694
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't good the first two times we saw it.
01:03:20.955 --> 01:03:23.937
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't really want to see it again because it's more of the same old shit.
01:03:23.957 --> 01:03:26.139
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not going to be any better for WrestleMania.
01:03:26.179 --> 01:03:31.824
[SPEAKER_00]: And we deserve better this year for WrestleMania after what we got last year.
01:03:31.844 --> 01:03:33.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Tiffany Shratton is not my choice to win this.
01:03:33.846 --> 01:03:35.067
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a horrible choice.
01:03:35.347 --> 01:03:40.872
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, what do you do with Tiffany Shratton going into WrestleMania if she's not in the title program?
01:03:42.742 --> 01:03:44.324
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to leave her off the car, do you?
01:03:45.606 --> 01:03:47.069
[SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't really been in anything important.
01:03:47.109 --> 01:03:49.512
[SPEAKER_00]: She's taken most of the second half of the year off.
01:03:51.496 --> 01:03:58.126
[SPEAKER_00]: She comes back at the Royal Rumble, comes in at the Rumble at number 30, and she's facted it into the World Title Program, without actually doing much of anything.
01:03:58.967 --> 01:04:00.850
[SPEAKER_00]: Does she need to be on the WrestleMania card?
01:04:01.050 --> 01:04:01.731
[SPEAKER_00]: No, she don't.
01:04:03.153 --> 01:04:05.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Safeer for programs after WrestleMania.
01:04:06.399 --> 01:04:08.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't mean you can't use her now.
01:04:08.999 --> 01:04:12.644
[SPEAKER_00]: But all because she's in the chamber doesn't mean she's got to be factored into WrestleMania.
01:04:13.906 --> 01:04:18.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she's a big name, but she's not in the midst of anything going on right now.
01:04:19.273 --> 01:04:19.734
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not.
01:04:21.416 --> 01:04:26.343
[SPEAKER_00]: She took three or four months off and then once to come back, you can't put her right back into things.
01:04:26.723 --> 01:04:30.028
[SPEAKER_00]: While while she was away, things are just playing out of, she's away.
01:04:31.544 --> 01:04:34.549
[SPEAKER_00]: So if she misses WrestleMania, you're not going to lose sleep over it.
01:04:34.810 --> 01:04:36.273
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
01:04:36.553 --> 01:04:43.225
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I think more people are going to complain if it's Tiffany and Jade than if Tiffany's not on the WrestleMania card.
01:04:43.245 --> 01:04:45.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Which brings us to re-arriply.
01:04:45.950 --> 01:04:53.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Jade Cargill and Liv Morgan is still an opportunity is still a possibility at WrestleMania.
01:04:54.967 --> 01:05:03.457
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be weird for WWE to play out the angle with Morgan and Stephanie and Stephanie and the judgment day for weeks at a time to not do live Morgan and Stephanie for care.
01:05:04.538 --> 01:05:22.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Which I do think will play into where the title goes after WrestleMania because Rock Kell Rodriguez is going to hang it around and tension between the judgment day is going to grow and Rock Sam Perez could very well win money in the bank and August, who's
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:30.990
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that aspect, that's a good possibility, that's a good future for the women's division on Monday night.
01:05:32.211 --> 01:05:41.885
[SPEAKER_00]: But Liv and Jade is still a possibility, re-a-winning the chamber, wrestling, Stephanie Vicarre is still a possibility because that was the original fan-desired match.
01:05:43.287 --> 01:05:44.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do I think they go?
01:05:44.468 --> 01:05:53.020
[SPEAKER_00]: All I know is that re-ripply and eoski are going to have to lose the tag team championships.
01:05:53.877 --> 01:06:23.108
[SPEAKER_00]: we may be looking because this is now a second time we saw this last week and we're getting it again next week we may be getting lash legends and nia jacks as the new women's tag team champions genuinely now i don't give a fuck about the tag team titles but i would rather than be on lash legend and nia jacks and re-rippling a or sky because i believe re-rippling a or sky deserve a lot better than the tag team
01:06:24.607 --> 01:06:31.895
[SPEAKER_00]: If I think real Ripley's gonna win the elimination chamber, I think winning it, Rhea and Jade, and I think that they're gonna go back to Rhea Ripley being the women's champion.
01:06:33.197 --> 01:06:36.581
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, now I don't know what that means for EO.
01:06:37.462 --> 01:06:37.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
01:06:38.983 --> 01:06:43.128
[SPEAKER_00]: EO is gonna be on Raw, and if Rhea wins the championship, she's gonna be on SmackDown.
01:06:44.990 --> 01:06:53.500
[SPEAKER_00]: It's difficult for WWE to have Rhea and EO exist on the same show because EO is put herself in a position to be just as good if not better than Rhea.
01:06:54.408 --> 01:06:55.109
[SPEAKER_00]: So what are you going to do?
01:06:56.691 --> 01:07:11.809
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely think at this point, WWE has reached their limit with both of these women on the same roster, and I think it's becoming creatively more difficult for WWE to book both of these women on the same show when they're both equals to each other.
01:07:13.390 --> 01:07:16.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if we're a champion, EO can't be championed, and what is EO going to do?
01:07:18.016 --> 01:07:19.858
[SPEAKER_00]: EO's a world championship performer.
01:07:20.986 --> 01:07:29.832
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe they're thinking, let's get rea over to SmackDown, keep EO on her show and build both of them up as the top stars for their shows and get them away from each other.
01:07:32.039 --> 01:07:35.904
[SPEAKER_00]: which I don't know why we didn't just go read any or us many because the story was right there.
01:07:36.504 --> 01:07:39.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Have them lose the tag team championships, focus on that.
01:07:40.048 --> 01:07:41.650
[SPEAKER_00]: Rea and eo got nothing to do.
01:07:42.111 --> 01:07:44.674
[SPEAKER_00]: They basically are left with nothing but the other.
01:07:45.114 --> 01:07:47.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Rea says, you know what, I know what we can do.
01:07:47.697 --> 01:07:48.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's wrestle each other.
01:07:48.879 --> 01:07:49.780
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't beaten you.
01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:50.981
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a goal of mine.
01:07:51.121 --> 01:07:51.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it.
01:07:53.504 --> 01:08:00.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you get live and Stephanie and then whatever you want to do with Jade at this point.
01:08:01.132 --> 01:08:04.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Jade versus Bliss for the World Championship.
01:08:04.978 --> 01:08:07.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe Alexa wins the fucking champion of the chamber.
01:08:07.121 --> 01:08:08.003
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.
01:08:08.824 --> 01:08:12.209
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we get Bliss and Jade and then Charlotte, not at WrestleMania.
01:08:12.229 --> 01:08:12.870
[SPEAKER_00]: It turns eel.
01:08:14.593 --> 01:08:15.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows?
01:08:16.797 --> 01:08:21.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, multiple different ways, multiple different roads here.
01:08:21.063 --> 01:08:24.188
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we still don't have a direction.
01:08:25.230 --> 01:08:26.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it unpredictable, a little bit?
01:08:27.874 --> 01:08:28.455
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit.
01:08:29.566 --> 01:08:40.498
[SPEAKER_00]: But WWE's got some options here, but you can see how not having Bianca has driven WWE basically to the week before the Chamber, and we still don't know what the fuck's going on.
01:08:42.620 --> 01:08:45.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Rhea Ripley was tasked with winning the elimination Chamber.
01:08:46.504 --> 01:08:54.713
[SPEAKER_00]: If Bianca Belair was healthy and ready to go on on television, I think we'd be looking at Bianca and Jade, and then I think Rhea would be looking at Stephanie.
01:08:55.621 --> 01:09:00.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the matches I genuinely think WWE was planning to do going into WrestleMania.
01:09:01.229 --> 01:09:03.372
[SPEAKER_00]: But things change and your injuries happen.
01:09:05.736 --> 01:09:06.116
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
01:09:07.979 --> 01:09:08.800
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll figure it out.
01:09:09.321 --> 01:09:13.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Come Monday when live is supposed to make her decision on who she's challenging.
01:09:13.567 --> 01:09:23.502
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that will open up a little bit more on what's going to happen on Friday night's SmackDown with the World Championship in Jake Cargill.
01:09:23.735 --> 01:09:24.716
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't on the show.
01:09:25.357 --> 01:09:34.048
[SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't been on WWE TV since we saw him debut in the Royal Rumble, but Royce Keys was recently a guest on the Stephanie McMahon podcast, what's your story?
01:09:34.809 --> 01:09:44.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And believe it or not, Royce Keys opened up on who he is in an hour and a half more than six years.
01:09:44.942 --> 01:09:47.926
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been on AEW television.
01:09:47.946 --> 01:09:50.569
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is what I talk about.
01:09:50.836 --> 01:10:05.930
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is what I mean when I say, when you give people a reason to care about somebody for a wrestling fans care, what all they want to do is being invested in the characters that we see on television, the powerhouse obbs was a big dude.
01:10:07.311 --> 01:10:09.373
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a powerhouse, no pun intended.
01:10:10.975 --> 01:10:11.795
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the ops.
01:10:12.976 --> 01:10:14.118
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a trioschampion.
01:10:15.018 --> 01:10:20.083
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a TNT champion.
01:10:21.059 --> 01:10:25.025
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think AEW even gave him an opportunity to tell us who he was.
01:10:25.526 --> 01:10:29.352
[SPEAKER_00]: He was just a big guy who was muscle for QT Marshall.
01:10:29.653 --> 01:10:31.275
[SPEAKER_00]: He was muscle for team taz.
01:10:31.556 --> 01:10:33.639
[SPEAKER_00]: He was muscle for the opposite Samoa Joe.
01:10:34.120 --> 01:10:36.143
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's all he ended up being.
01:10:37.606 --> 01:10:38.327
[SPEAKER_00]: But who is he?
01:10:39.669 --> 01:10:40.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody has a backstory.
01:10:42.053 --> 01:10:44.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody has their own story to tell.
01:10:44.597 --> 01:10:46.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody is different.
01:10:47.587 --> 01:10:54.314
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie McMam brought out a side of Royce Keys, Powerhouse Hobbes, that six years of AEW never allowed him to do.
01:10:55.756 --> 01:11:02.803
[SPEAKER_00]: So now, when you see Royce Keys on television, if you listen to this podcast, and if you listen to this interview, now you know who Royce Keys is.
01:11:03.284 --> 01:11:06.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you can make a determination on, man, I like this guy.
01:11:06.427 --> 01:11:08.710
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to invest my time and then my love is story.
01:11:08.810 --> 01:11:10.692
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's great or not.
01:11:11.735 --> 01:11:17.541
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's up to you, instead of you going in blind and getting another guy on television that nobody knows anything about.
01:11:21.826 --> 01:11:25.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Obafemi, speaking of something we don't know anything about.
01:11:25.349 --> 01:11:27.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the fuck they're doing with Obafemi.
01:11:28.713 --> 01:11:35.480
[SPEAKER_00]: And supposedly things could have changed between now and then, but I could have swore.
01:11:36.101 --> 01:11:39.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Brock Lesnar was advertised for Monday and that raw in Atlanta.
01:11:40.051 --> 01:11:42.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Can someone confirm that for me in the chat?
01:11:44.138 --> 01:11:46.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Is Brock Lesnar confirmed from on the net raw?
01:11:47.364 --> 01:11:52.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if he is, if WWE has got Lesnar on raw, either one of two things is going to happen.
01:11:53.515 --> 01:12:00.608
[SPEAKER_00]: One, he's going to be in the chamber and he's going to steal someone's spot, which I don't think is going to be the case, because I think the last spot is going to be determined on Monday.
01:12:01.533 --> 01:12:02.014
[SPEAKER_00]: or two.
01:12:02.975 --> 01:12:05.879
[SPEAKER_00]: All but then he's been balancing a raw smack down contract.
01:12:06.300 --> 01:12:08.022
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had run ins with kit Wilson.
01:12:08.042 --> 01:12:09.704
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had run ins with rusev.
01:12:09.724 --> 01:12:11.226
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had run ins with the maze.
01:12:11.266 --> 01:12:13.049
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had run ins with this one and that one.
01:12:14.150 --> 01:12:27.709
[SPEAKER_00]: The one running is going to be Brock Lesnar and I think Lesnar is going to be the one guy that gets him to sign that Monday night rock contract and I think Lesnar's going to do or say something.
01:12:28.195 --> 01:12:36.862
[SPEAKER_00]: That pushes all but fed me to say, you know what, I know what show I want to be on and I know what I'm coming to do and that is slay the beast.
01:12:38.848 --> 01:12:41.918
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is having a very difficult time selling tickets for WrestleMania.
01:12:43.737 --> 01:13:01.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Now minus the fucking ticket prices in the fact that they're running Vegas again for a second year in row and tourism is down and this is down and WWE's canceling watch along at different establishments with a 50 mile radius of a Legion stadium whatever you whatever you want to go out there and read.
01:13:02.873 --> 01:13:10.903
[SPEAKER_00]: All WWE needs to do if they want to generate interest for their show is book the best fucking card possible without insulting the fans and intelligence.
01:13:11.384 --> 01:13:18.373
[SPEAKER_00]: And the way you do that is you give me Brock Lesnar versus Oberfemi at WrestleMania.
01:13:19.575 --> 01:13:25.843
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't give me Oberfemi not making the WrestleMania card, you don't give me the rumored Brock Lesnar versus LA Night Match.
01:13:26.364 --> 01:13:29.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody wants that, nobody x for that.
01:13:31.038 --> 01:13:33.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Lesnar, Femi, WrestleMania.
01:13:34.662 --> 01:13:35.683
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to build the future?
01:13:35.984 --> 01:13:36.524
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
01:13:37.766 --> 01:13:46.496
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no greater statement for Oberfemi within a two-month debut on the main roster than beating Brock Lesnar.
01:13:48.579 --> 01:13:49.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it.
01:13:50.881 --> 01:13:55.567
[SPEAKER_00]: They got a fucking around with Kit Wilson and these fucking poems.
01:13:57.409 --> 01:13:58.210
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing?
01:13:59.658 --> 01:14:28.011
[SPEAKER_00]: people were making a big deal that it was all main event wrestling uh... one of the one of the garsis i think he was wrestling overfemi all main event now i'm not looking at that as a big deal but because we we'll know it's gonna be a big deal i don't think that is gonna task him with wrestling main event and leave him there get some reps in front of a live audience that's that's great but less than a family i mean if that is not the direction going into mania
01:14:29.510 --> 01:14:33.774
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to claim to me and everybody else that Paul of that is failing, that's had a creative.
01:14:34.134 --> 01:14:37.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, go at it, go at it.
01:14:38.499 --> 01:14:39.660
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no waiting here.
01:14:40.220 --> 01:14:41.061
[SPEAKER_00]: There's two months.
01:14:42.482 --> 01:14:44.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Obofemi made his debut with the Royal Rumble.
01:14:44.624 --> 01:14:51.851
[SPEAKER_00]: This is more than enough time to get a sense of what Obofemi is, get a sense of what he does and how he operates and how the fans are going to react.
01:14:51.972 --> 01:14:53.053
[SPEAKER_00]: They're already reacting to him.
01:14:53.193 --> 01:14:54.674
[SPEAKER_00]: You put him in the ring with Lesnar.
01:14:54.974 --> 01:14:57.677
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an instant, star-making match.
01:14:59.733 --> 01:15:04.919
[SPEAKER_00]: Triple H has this thing where he puts something in the oven and he leaves it there on like 125.
01:15:05.380 --> 01:15:09.124
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, put it in the oven and turn that motherfucker up.
01:15:10.426 --> 01:15:12.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, stop waiting.
01:15:14.170 --> 01:15:15.712
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to make me any of the best it could be.
01:15:16.152 --> 01:15:17.734
[SPEAKER_00]: Overfair me in Brock Lesnar's the way to go.
01:15:18.255 --> 01:15:18.956
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not it.
01:15:20.537 --> 01:15:26.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Though I enjoyed Kit Wilson getting embarrassed in him being forced to read poems, you know.
01:15:26.544 --> 01:15:28.727
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a thing or two about poems.
01:15:30.378 --> 01:15:32.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Merry, merry, quite contrary, you know?
01:15:33.523 --> 01:15:34.104
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, dice.
01:15:35.426 --> 01:15:39.733
[SPEAKER_00]: But Killson with his fucking poems.
01:15:42.277 --> 01:15:43.319
[SPEAKER_00]: We got this match.
01:15:44.200 --> 01:15:47.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Willson rolled out of the ring, the bell rang, so the match was underway.
01:15:47.506 --> 01:15:49.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Took a microphone.
01:15:49.930 --> 01:15:53.976
[SPEAKER_00]: He addressed Albert Fermi, and he wanted to read a poem.
01:15:55.659 --> 01:15:56.841
[SPEAKER_00]: As he felt,
01:15:57.057 --> 01:16:00.963
[SPEAKER_00]: that his opponent grew the last time they met.
01:16:03.307 --> 01:16:06.752
[SPEAKER_00]: This poem was entitled and owed to Oba.
01:16:09.517 --> 01:16:17.369
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was about how Wilson supposedly saw the greatness in Oba-femmy, he said that when he looked in Oba-femmy's eyes, he saw Teddy bear.
01:16:19.132 --> 01:16:22.457
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we look at Oba-femmy and see a teddy bear, okay?
01:16:26.521 --> 01:16:28.163
[SPEAKER_00]: So, fans are chanting, Oba.
01:16:30.807 --> 01:16:33.250
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he thought Oba was a brute.
01:16:33.270 --> 01:16:34.472
[SPEAKER_00]: He sees a little teddy bear.
01:16:35.053 --> 01:16:35.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Oba smiled.
01:16:37.136 --> 01:16:39.138
[SPEAKER_00]: He took the mic and said, well, that was quite nice.
01:16:40.320 --> 01:16:41.602
[SPEAKER_00]: He told him, lead another.
01:16:43.564 --> 01:16:46.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Oba was very serious, I read another.
01:16:46.548 --> 01:16:47.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Read another poem.
01:16:50.073 --> 01:16:53.558
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Kit looked worried because he only had prepared one poem.
01:16:54.550 --> 01:16:58.695
[SPEAKER_00]: And he didn't want to read the toxic poems that he had written about all of the before.
01:17:00.557 --> 01:17:02.939
[SPEAKER_00]: So he tried to come into this buttering him up.
01:17:04.321 --> 01:17:11.508
[SPEAKER_00]: So Oba saw right through that and he knew that he wrote more toxic promos about to our poems about Oba.
01:17:12.670 --> 01:17:15.713
[SPEAKER_00]: So Oba insisted, what's it open this book?
01:17:15.733 --> 01:17:21.199
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, well, it's going to be old material.
01:17:22.664 --> 01:17:25.108
[SPEAKER_00]: He thinks men think they're never wrong.
01:17:25.729 --> 01:17:26.770
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's toxic.
01:17:28.413 --> 01:17:30.375
[SPEAKER_00]: And how they act with no shame or regrets.
01:17:30.756 --> 01:17:35.423
[SPEAKER_00]: And always comparing their sizes and that's toxic.
01:17:37.166 --> 01:17:40.551
[SPEAKER_00]: And how they shot like a self-made king.
01:17:40.611 --> 01:17:46.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Well Wilson said, should I continue?
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:50.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but like finish.
01:17:51.757 --> 01:18:00.811
[SPEAKER_00]: Wilson says he hates his brand of masculinity, and city hates the ruler, Obo's toxicity.
01:18:02.614 --> 01:18:03.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be here to mention the ring.
01:18:04.617 --> 01:18:17.136
[SPEAKER_00]: He threw him around, he chopped his chest, big running uppercuts in the corner back and forth, landed fall from grace to sit out, palabam, one, two, three, and goodbye kit Wilson.
01:18:17.156 --> 01:18:18.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Goodbye kit Wilson.
01:18:22.132 --> 01:18:28.037
[SPEAKER_00]: This was probably the most entertaining kit Wilson and Oberfemi segment that we got, and I think it needs to be the last.
01:18:29.419 --> 01:18:32.241
[SPEAKER_00]: You can have your fun, bots.
01:18:32.261 --> 01:18:39.048
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to start building Obes WrestleMania match, and there's absolutely no reason why it should not be against Brock Lesnar.
01:18:41.690 --> 01:18:42.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Aldis.
01:18:44.873 --> 01:18:51.379
[SPEAKER_00]: The fucking crate, the mystery crate, was backstage, he acts the guy, a geek.
01:18:53.013 --> 01:18:56.538
[SPEAKER_00]: If he knew what this crate was and who was in it, what was in it?
01:18:57.799 --> 01:19:01.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Our truth walked in and said, it's a huge award for him.
01:19:03.027 --> 01:19:06.051
[SPEAKER_00]: All this told the guy to send it back to Raw, let Adam Pearce deal with it.
01:19:07.573 --> 01:19:09.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Priest walked up to all this.
01:19:10.797 --> 01:19:14.803
[SPEAKER_00]: All this acts if he was ready for his big match against Shricken Carmelo.
01:19:16.024 --> 01:19:17.907
[SPEAKER_00]: Truth and priest both said, yes.
01:19:18.888 --> 01:19:22.513
[SPEAKER_00]: All this said priest is in the qualifier.
01:19:23.253 --> 01:19:24.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Truth was a little bummed out.
01:19:24.535 --> 01:19:30.744
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, he must have got his balls mixed up and said, he liked him better when he was bald.
01:19:33.027 --> 01:19:35.731
[SPEAKER_00]: So, our truth is still talking about his UK balls.
01:19:36.052 --> 01:19:37.574
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's mistaken.
01:19:37.634 --> 01:19:40.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Alders for Adam Pierce.
01:19:42.845 --> 01:20:03.587
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, once upon a time we got our truth as Ron killings and everybody lobbied for him to get his job back, always have a serious character played on television, only for them to put him back in the same campy comedy routine that he was doing for the last 15 years.
01:20:04.411 --> 01:20:17.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Here in what one I want with Alba fire, this was nothing more than filler, Tiffany Schratten wins here in 10 minutes, absolutely no reason other than making Tiffany look strong going into the chamber, nobody really stood out here.
01:20:17.052 --> 01:20:19.035
[SPEAKER_00]: None of this really mattered.
01:20:19.095 --> 01:20:24.484
[SPEAKER_00]: Schratten wins in 10 minutes, pretty as moon salt ever, and that was it for Tiffany Schratten.
01:20:24.985 --> 01:20:26.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing more needs to be said.
01:20:28.791 --> 01:20:31.195
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where things got
01:20:32.423 --> 01:20:34.826
[SPEAKER_00]: Good, at least, for this backstage segment.
01:20:35.787 --> 01:20:38.290
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the best thing on the show.
01:20:40.232 --> 01:20:43.456
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes, he's walking backstage.
01:20:44.598 --> 01:20:50.385
[SPEAKER_00]: And he sees Sami Zane standing next to a crate, looking all bummed out and digested.
01:20:52.728 --> 01:20:56.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody told Sami, he's got nothing to be ashamed of.
01:20:56.833 --> 01:21:02.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Sami said, if anyone should be ashamed here, it's you, Cody, you started to get angry.
01:21:03.220 --> 01:21:05.222
[SPEAKER_00]: He held a lot of resentment in for the last seven days.
01:21:06.524 --> 01:21:15.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if you go back to the match, Cody took advantage of Sammy Zayn trying to do the right thing by not capitalizing on what's Rumec and Tyre tried to do.
01:21:15.734 --> 01:21:16.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy should have won.
01:21:16.514 --> 01:21:18.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy looked like a geek.
01:21:19.778 --> 01:21:28.047
[SPEAKER_00]: He instead delivered a haluva kick to Drew McIntyre and didn't take advantage of Drew McIntyre laying Cody Rhodes out with a claim more.
01:21:30.187 --> 01:21:33.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody was taken aback by this because Sammy said he should be ashamed.
01:21:35.394 --> 01:21:42.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy said he tried to help him and then he paid him back with the crossroads and punched his ticket to the chamber.
01:21:43.706 --> 01:21:45.408
[SPEAKER_00]: You put a knife in my back, Cody.
01:21:46.790 --> 01:21:49.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody said that that is your perspective, Sammy.
01:21:50.956 --> 01:21:55.822
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he took advantage of an opportunity and you have to take advantage of them when they come.
01:21:56.964 --> 01:22:00.008
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't just randomly fall into your lap every week.
01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:05.307
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why you haven't become WWE champion.
01:22:09.494 --> 01:22:09.854
[SPEAKER_00]: There it is.
01:22:11.537 --> 01:22:15.603
[SPEAKER_00]: That was really easy for the golden boy to say, right, you're cute, be one.
01:22:15.663 --> 01:22:18.848
[SPEAKER_00]: You said everything comes up aces for him.
01:22:19.449 --> 01:22:20.871
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Cody was the chosen one.
01:22:21.272 --> 01:22:23.295
[SPEAKER_00]: No one shows me, Sammy said.
01:22:24.085 --> 01:22:27.088
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's been trying to finish his story for the last 10 years.
01:22:27.949 --> 01:22:32.354
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he doesn't know what it's like to do the right thing and have it blow up in his face.
01:22:33.676 --> 01:22:38.762
[SPEAKER_00]: He acts where he was when he was in Germany and he did the right thing and it cost him everything.
01:22:40.003 --> 01:22:47.612
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody's trying to tell Sammy that he tried to do the right thing in three stages of hell and it cost him the WWE Championship.
01:22:49.043 --> 01:22:51.205
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not me, it's not the system.
01:22:51.766 --> 01:22:55.109
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing in your way, Sammy, is you.
01:22:56.231 --> 01:23:04.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody walks away, Sammy, there's bottles and equipment on top of this crazy throes, everything off the crate and anger.
01:23:06.241 --> 01:23:09.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Trick Williams walks in, he gets a huge reaction from the crowd.
01:23:12.348 --> 01:23:17.093
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, with friends like Cody, you certainly don't need
01:23:17.579 --> 01:23:23.466
[SPEAKER_00]: He told Sammy tonight, he's going to do something Sammy cannot, which is get the job done.
01:23:24.568 --> 01:23:28.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy ran over the Cody after trick said that one line to him.
01:23:28.112 --> 01:23:34.760
[SPEAKER_00]: He tracked Cody down again and he apologized to Cody Rhodes.
01:23:36.222 --> 01:23:39.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy said, he was right about everything he said to him.
01:23:41.148 --> 01:23:46.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy said, everyone knows he'll be champion again, meaning Cody will be champion again.
01:23:47.701 --> 01:23:53.207
[SPEAKER_00]: But when it happens, Cody, remember that you had a little bit of help along the way.
01:23:54.769 --> 01:23:59.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes left him with us, Sammy, I don't forget.
01:23:59.474 --> 01:24:12.949
[SPEAKER_00]: This certainly, you know, I know a lot of people don't like the narrative of Sammy
01:24:13.267 --> 01:24:36.809
[SPEAKER_00]: or being the World Heavyweight Champion, because it's been played out, WWE's kind of waited on it, and they had a prime ample opportunity with him in Roman as the honorary U.S. betraying the family, stabbing Roman in the back, and kind of going into business for his own, and choosing Kevin Owens a couple years ago that wrestled in Montreal at the Chamber, great environment, great match.
01:24:36.889 --> 01:24:37.610
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the moment.
01:24:38.290 --> 01:24:39.712
[SPEAKER_00]: It was no great moment for Sammy.
01:24:40.552 --> 01:24:41.333
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside
01:24:42.511 --> 01:24:51.424
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where they go, but I felt like last night was the start of WWE telling Sammy Zane's story.
01:24:52.906 --> 01:24:56.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, it also could serve as a Sammy Zane heel turn.
01:24:56.070 --> 01:25:03.200
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're going to go and do that, but Cody eventually is going to win the championship back.
01:25:03.981 --> 01:25:08.107
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy is going to continue his quest for a World Championship.
01:25:08.147 --> 01:25:10.290
[SPEAKER_00]: What they do in the time being, I don't know.
01:25:10.979 --> 01:25:38.286
[SPEAKER_00]: what they do with Sammy from this point on going into next year's menu which I think everybody's looking at as maybe the time Sammy will finish the story Sammy in Saudi Arabia as Russ many 43 takes place in Saudi Arabia predictable yes WWE triple H loves a great moment could be could make headlines everywhere but I thought last night this was a fantastic segment
01:25:39.498 --> 01:25:47.191
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you're not gonna find two guys better when emotions need to boil over, you're not gonna find two guys better.
01:25:47.211 --> 01:25:54.323
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a cut of promo that really kind of punches you in the heart and gives you the feels like Sammy and Cody.
01:25:54.343 --> 01:25:56.106
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what Cody operates at his best.
01:25:56.326 --> 01:25:56.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Something like this.
01:25:57.328 --> 01:25:58.530
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sammy's always been great.
01:25:58.791 --> 01:26:02.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy comes off as always genuine and he never stutters in anything he says.
01:26:03.939 --> 01:26:05.522
[SPEAKER_00]: You believe Sammy when he speaks.
01:26:06.532 --> 01:26:07.453
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this segment.
01:26:07.474 --> 01:26:10.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was a great foreshadowing of what's to come.
01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:12.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody says he never forgets.
01:26:12.762 --> 01:26:27.646
[SPEAKER_00]: So if Cody's the champion, could we be looking at a Cody Rose versus Sammy's a match, could Cody be the one who offers Sammy a shot at the title, could Sammy finish a story against the guy who himself finishes on story at WrestleMania 40.
01:26:28.988 --> 01:26:30.050
[SPEAKER_00]: We could be looking at that.
01:26:31.332 --> 01:26:31.813
[SPEAKER_00]: We could.
01:26:32.823 --> 01:26:44.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's Sami Zayn vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania Network, and maybe we get rock and Roman if the money is right for Dwayne to come back.
01:26:44.677 --> 01:26:44.938
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
01:26:47.281 --> 01:26:50.244
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what happens.
01:26:50.264 --> 01:26:53.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Damien Priest.
01:26:53.488 --> 01:26:57.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Carmelo Hayes and trick Williams elimination chamber qualifying match.
01:26:58.755 --> 01:27:01.598
[SPEAKER_00]: This was fun.
01:27:03.147 --> 01:27:10.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I expected trickwames to win this, I did not expect Damian Priest to get another pinfall here.
01:27:11.761 --> 01:27:13.223
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, maybe I should have expected it.
01:27:13.263 --> 01:27:27.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hoping for Carmelo Hayes to take the pinfall because foolishly, and selfishly, I'd like trickwames and Carmelo Hayes for the United States Championship of Arustlamani, and I thought with trickpinning Carmelo, that would serve as the catalyst to maybe get there when the time calls for it.
01:27:30.164 --> 01:27:39.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Just thinking out loud last week, but Damian Priest in another match and Damian Priest on the loser will pick it up after the commercial break here.
01:27:40.356 --> 01:27:44.420
[SPEAKER_00]: We got some nice interactions here between trickwams and Carmelo Hayes.
01:27:44.460 --> 01:27:52.189
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a nice little program on NXT, so they have a lot of history with each other.
01:27:53.603 --> 01:28:00.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams and priest dreaded strikes, just in time for haste to come in with a double springboard leg drop on both.
01:28:01.432 --> 01:28:11.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Trick Williams and Damien, outside the ring haste at Williams with a shotgun drop kick into the timekeeper's barricade before he connected with the frog splash in the ring on Damien priest for a near fall.
01:28:11.923 --> 01:28:18.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Priest rolled out of the ring, he tried to recover haste looking for a dive Williams
01:28:19.152 --> 01:28:19.793
[SPEAKER_00]: You're a naggy.
01:28:20.433 --> 01:28:22.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Bachelorette Williams on Hayes only got a two count in the process.
01:28:22.916 --> 01:28:25.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams, such trash hockey and Carmelo.
01:28:25.659 --> 01:28:28.081
[SPEAKER_00]: He was met with some hard shops by mellow.
01:28:28.982 --> 01:28:32.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Hayes then attempted to springboard, but he was closed line out of the ring by trick.
01:28:33.486 --> 01:28:38.091
[SPEAKER_00]: Priest, Pouns his Hayes sends him onto the announce desk.
01:28:38.111 --> 01:28:40.954
[SPEAKER_00]: Priest left the ring, got thrown into the announce table.
01:28:41.374 --> 01:28:49.142
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams connected on a spinning kick on Carmelo, which looked great.
01:28:50.843 --> 01:28:52.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Nearfall, only a two count.
01:28:53.045 --> 01:28:54.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams put A's on the top rope.
01:28:54.807 --> 01:28:56.529
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked like he was going to the superplex.
01:28:56.629 --> 01:28:57.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Priest got back up.
01:28:57.630 --> 01:28:59.471
[SPEAKER_00]: He intercepted with a razor's edge on trick.
01:28:59.491 --> 01:29:01.073
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams only a two count.
01:29:01.653 --> 01:29:02.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Hays on the top rope.
01:29:02.715 --> 01:29:04.456
[SPEAKER_00]: He had nothing but net on Damian Priest.
01:29:05.197 --> 01:29:09.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams broke the count up and all three men were down.
01:29:10.562 --> 01:29:16.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Nearing the end here and the final segment Williams and Hay straighted blows until Priest hits kicks on both guys.
01:29:16.368 --> 01:29:20.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams and Hayes
01:29:20.847 --> 01:29:23.791
[SPEAKER_00]: And they work together on Damian Priest with the double team.
01:29:24.311 --> 01:29:27.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Priest now out, haze and Williams going at it.
01:29:27.816 --> 01:29:28.957
[SPEAKER_00]: They're outside the ring.
01:29:28.997 --> 01:29:32.141
[SPEAKER_00]: He's connected with the first 48 on Williams on the top row.
01:29:32.161 --> 01:29:33.423
[SPEAKER_00]: He's dives.
01:29:34.344 --> 01:29:37.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Top row dive intercepted with a hard elbow from Priest.
01:29:37.968 --> 01:29:41.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Razor's edge attempted by Priest, but Williams blasted him with the trick shot knee.
01:29:42.394 --> 01:29:44.897
[SPEAKER_00]: That's in haste crashing out of the ring.
01:29:44.877 --> 01:29:48.523
[SPEAKER_00]: and he delivered another trick shot to trick on priest.
01:29:48.704 --> 01:29:52.009
[SPEAKER_00]: The trick shot needs did not look good on Damien Priest here.
01:29:52.029 --> 01:29:59.983
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I don't know if it's because Damien Priest is just as high, or just as tall rather as trick Williams, but they didn't connect the way that they usually do.
01:30:00.976 --> 01:30:08.785
[SPEAKER_00]: So we tried to, we connected to the second one knocked him out, the second one got on the win, one, two, three, and trick Williams advances to the elimination chamber.
01:30:08.805 --> 01:30:18.216
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got trick Williams, Javan Evans, Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, and Randy Wharton in the men's elimination chamber.
01:30:18.236 --> 01:30:21.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Trick Williams is there to get the rub from everybody else.
01:30:21.179 --> 01:30:29.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Javan Evans is in there as the guy on Monday night that they got a lot of high hopes for also getting the rub from everybody else in plus and the chamber is gonna do some cool shit.
01:30:30.338 --> 01:30:32.641
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's gonna come down to Cody and Randy.
01:30:33.682 --> 01:30:36.025
[SPEAKER_00]: I know you LA night fans are hoping for a victory.
01:30:36.286 --> 01:30:38.889
[SPEAKER_00]: No, LA night's not winning the elimination chamber.
01:30:38.909 --> 01:30:43.535
[SPEAKER_00]: He's only in there to add another over baby face that is never gonna get the job done.
01:30:48.281 --> 01:30:55.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Smack down to team division, acting like a bunch of geeks, backstage, the mystery crate,
01:30:58.958 --> 01:31:12.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Candace Loray walked in with Nick Hollis in the rest of the tag team division standing around and all of a sudden we look up and Johnny Gargano is laying face first down on top of the mystery crate.
01:31:13.754 --> 01:31:28.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Gray appeared out of nowhere and Loray was upset that Jordan Gray's interrupted her meeting with Nick Hollis now this isn't the right setting for meeting but she wanted Nick Hollis do something about Johnny Gargano.
01:31:30.295 --> 01:31:38.187
[SPEAKER_00]: Loray and Grace get into it, and they start bickering all this books and match next week for SmackDown.
01:31:38.227 --> 01:31:46.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Grace first came this Loray and Nick all this said in I quote, it looks like Johnny Gargano wasn't feeling too great.
01:31:48.382 --> 01:31:48.743
[SPEAKER_00]: You get it.
01:31:49.484 --> 01:31:56.995
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't looking to
01:31:58.004 --> 01:32:02.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay Cargill was seen backstage, B-Fab, and meet Shin who returned.
01:32:02.951 --> 01:32:03.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, joy.
01:32:03.672 --> 01:32:06.616
[SPEAKER_00]: She got her candlestick and all.
01:32:06.656 --> 01:32:10.361
[SPEAKER_00]: She called her shot against Jay to again for the women's championship.
01:32:11.423 --> 01:32:15.068
[SPEAKER_00]: I will remind you guys when to bring the pillow for when this match is announced.
01:32:16.810 --> 01:32:17.331
[SPEAKER_00]: Rear Ripley.
01:32:19.494 --> 01:32:21.497
[SPEAKER_00]: She went one-on-one with Julia.
01:32:22.557 --> 01:32:24.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this was originally meant to be Julia and E.O.
01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:25.041
[SPEAKER_00]: sky.
01:32:25.061 --> 01:32:31.973
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why it was changed last minute, but I'm going to assume that WWE did not want to give away Julia and E.O.
01:32:32.253 --> 01:32:34.116
[SPEAKER_00]: for basically nothing with no meaning.
01:32:35.298 --> 01:32:39.505
[SPEAKER_00]: So they opted Rhea and Julia, which was very good.
01:32:40.167 --> 01:32:42.330
[SPEAKER_00]: This was one of the more enjoyable matches on the show tonight.
01:32:43.592 --> 01:32:45.275
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll pick it up after the commercial break here.
01:32:45.335 --> 01:32:48.801
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a spot in this match.
01:32:49.490 --> 01:32:50.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you guys saw it.
01:32:51.433 --> 01:32:53.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I saw it after the Hawk Show last night.
01:32:53.416 --> 01:32:54.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I was on social media.
01:32:55.118 --> 01:33:00.547
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a spot in this match where Julia had rea face first.
01:33:01.208 --> 01:33:04.432
[SPEAKER_00]: And she picks rea Ripley up by her arms.
01:33:04.452 --> 01:33:07.437
[SPEAKER_00]: And she stomps down on rea.
01:33:07.637 --> 01:33:17.472
[SPEAKER_00]: My god, I would be shocked if rea wasn't hearing bells in her ears after that fucking spot.
01:33:18.127 --> 01:33:24.537
[SPEAKER_00]: That's an easy way to get someone to concussed, but everybody wants Julia to go back to being strong style Julia.
01:33:26.020 --> 01:33:30.527
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see a problem with it, but my god that that looks fucking awful, holy shit.
01:33:32.550 --> 01:33:33.892
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll pick it up after the break here.
01:33:35.615 --> 01:33:37.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia had the upper hand on Rhea.
01:33:37.418 --> 01:33:40.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I would even dare she need was blocked by Ripley, cracks.
01:33:40.703 --> 01:33:44.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia with a hard Larry it, both women got themselves back up.
01:33:45.515 --> 01:33:54.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Ripley dodged a offensive onslaught from Julia Blaster with the closed line followed by a standing slam and a running drop kick.
01:33:54.289 --> 01:33:58.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Ripley tried to go up top, Julia intercepted at the time.
01:33:59.357 --> 01:34:09.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Ripley escapes, got her with a cheeky nando's kick, face plant slam by
01:34:09.798 --> 01:34:13.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Ripley again tried for the rip tide Julia counted and connected within a river dead.
01:34:13.523 --> 01:34:15.165
[SPEAKER_00]: She only a two count off the knee.
01:34:15.806 --> 01:34:22.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia got ahead of it tried for the Northern Lights bomb Ripley counted hit a headbutt just that she had rip tide on Julia.
01:34:23.275 --> 01:34:32.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Nyejax interrupted with Lash legends and we got a disqualification reripply beats Julia by DQ.
01:34:33.608 --> 01:34:37.813
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least they saved Julia who's the United States champion from taking a pin for a loss.
01:34:38.603 --> 01:34:49.178
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate that, but WWE also needs to sell some aspect of this women's tag team title match next week with Naya Jackson, Lash Legend, challenging Ray Ripley and EOS guy for the tag team titles.
01:34:50.480 --> 01:34:59.873
[SPEAKER_00]: After the match, Jackson legend laid out, Ray Ripley until EO ran out to make the save, even the odds only build up for the match next week.
01:34:59.893 --> 01:35:00.554
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all that was.
01:35:00.874 --> 01:35:06.923
[SPEAKER_00]: But Ray Ripley and Julia, man, you know, I got to give WWE a little bit of
01:35:07.122 --> 01:35:08.204
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she did last year.
01:35:09.145 --> 01:35:12.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the United States Championship isn't even a focus.
01:35:12.931 --> 01:35:14.954
[SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't done anything with the United States Championship.
01:35:15.696 --> 01:35:26.112
[SPEAKER_00]: But Julia, I said this weeks ago, you put her in the ring against people that the fans care about and Julia will, like a sponge, suck that up.
01:35:27.274 --> 01:35:29.097
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia will benefit from that.
01:35:30.022 --> 01:35:34.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia's been in the ring with Zalina and Chelsea and Meatchin and he's fucking women.
01:35:34.946 --> 01:35:35.907
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody cares about.
01:35:35.947 --> 01:35:37.309
[SPEAKER_00]: You put her in the ring with E.O.
01:35:38.089 --> 01:35:41.492
[SPEAKER_00]: and Rhea and anybody else of that status.
01:35:42.173 --> 01:35:45.736
[SPEAKER_00]: It will be fine for Julia.
01:35:45.756 --> 01:35:47.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why they didn't figure this out months ago.
01:35:48.819 --> 01:35:51.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you start to slowly see Julia coming along.
01:35:51.682 --> 01:35:53.844
[SPEAKER_00]: She's wrestling like Julia should be wrestling.
01:35:54.124 --> 01:35:57.447
[SPEAKER_00]: She feels a little bit more like a bigger deal now.
01:35:59.013 --> 01:35:59.814
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what we're doing.
01:36:01.317 --> 01:36:08.470
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully they continue the momentum because I think Julia we're not there yet and the United States championship is still largely irrelevant.
01:36:08.950 --> 01:36:17.786
[SPEAKER_00]: But at least, Julia feels a little bit better than she did during her first United States title one, which was fucking awful, awful.
01:36:21.352 --> 01:36:22.354
[SPEAKER_00]: The Miz.
01:36:23.684 --> 01:36:31.438
[SPEAKER_00]: He was backstage with Oberthemmy and he tried to offer his services as the self-appointed locker room leader to Oberthemmy.
01:36:31.458 --> 01:36:39.533
[SPEAKER_00]: This lets Oberthemmy indiscreetly challenging him to a match and taking his advice next week.
01:36:39.554 --> 01:36:44.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Miz didn't really get it when Ober said it, but Ober said I'm going to go talk to Nick Aldis about that.
01:36:46.027 --> 01:36:59.929
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it slowly dawned upon mids that after Femi left sucked Nick all this that he was not going to take his advice on meeting and taking advice and learning from the mids, but it was more so an in-ring contest next week.
01:36:59.949 --> 01:37:02.594
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're running all but Femi threw all the jobbers on Friday night, huh?
01:37:04.156 --> 01:37:07.441
[SPEAKER_00]: I could only hope this results in something a little bit more important over the next two months.
01:37:09.405 --> 01:37:12.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlotte Flair chatted with Miss Bliss.
01:37:12.318 --> 01:37:25.195
[SPEAKER_00]: As she said that she's fine after losing her elimination chamber match count of James showed up, talk trash this led to flare and bliss, challenging James and Julia to prove their worth.
01:37:27.779 --> 01:37:41.818
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where we're going, but if Charlotte is not at WrestleMania and bliss doesn't win the chamber, we could be looking at a multi tag team affair at WrestleMania.
01:37:42.457 --> 01:37:53.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a gauntlet match, maybe a big conglomeration, four-way tag team match, same to what we got at evolution last year in July.
01:37:54.109 --> 01:38:06.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Get four teams in that Bellas, Bliss and Charlotte, Keanna and Julia and the Naya and Lash Legend.
01:38:06.602 --> 01:38:09.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if Charlotte's not at WrestleMania,
01:38:10.722 --> 01:38:13.787
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's not in the chamber, then I don't think Alexis should be there either.
01:38:15.089 --> 01:38:20.196
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Bliss should also lose, and I'm not really factoring her into winning.
01:38:20.216 --> 01:38:23.601
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the story is her and Charlotte had eventually one of them turning on the other.
01:38:24.603 --> 01:38:26.486
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're focusing on the tag team titles.
01:38:26.506 --> 01:38:27.908
[SPEAKER_00]: You want them at Mania together.
01:38:27.928 --> 01:38:30.352
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to leave one off the Mania card and then not include the other.
01:38:30.973 --> 01:38:37.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Wish again, depending on EO winning her match on Monday, which I think she will.
01:38:37.908 --> 01:38:41.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I think reantiphany servers the two odds on favorites in the women's chamber.
01:38:43.175 --> 01:38:48.361
[SPEAKER_00]: The only match that we got, well, the only match is I should say book for next week's SmackDown, not really exciting.
01:38:48.381 --> 01:38:54.509
[SPEAKER_00]: We got rea and eo against Nigax and Lash Ledger and Uncle Howdy, I can solo succo.
01:38:56.391 --> 01:39:03.240
[SPEAKER_00]: Solo discussed a strategy with the MFTs in the locker room before talking to Tamatonga, one-on-one.
01:39:05.515 --> 01:39:08.400
[SPEAKER_00]: He thanked him for his focus on taking out the Wyatt six.
01:39:09.421 --> 01:39:14.029
[SPEAKER_00]: He thanked him for being a loyal soldier and helping him and not turning on him.
01:39:14.049 --> 01:39:17.614
[SPEAKER_00]: But Lantern is very important to the MFTs.
01:39:17.634 --> 01:39:20.799
[SPEAKER_00]: We have to keep it away from the Wyatt six at all costs.
01:39:20.819 --> 01:39:27.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Tamatanga looked like, all right, guy, to fucking Lantern that you could probably buy a home depot for a good 50 bucks.
01:39:28.792 --> 01:39:30.595
[SPEAKER_00]: In Walk Shinsuke Nakamura,
01:39:31.857 --> 01:39:36.064
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said that Tamatong was being held back by solo and his MFTs.
01:39:37.566 --> 01:39:47.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Nakamura said that Tamatong could improve that he is his own man by facing him next time one-on-one without the help of the MFTs, leave your family tree in the forest.
01:39:48.964 --> 01:39:59.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Nakamura said to Tamatong.
01:40:00.697 --> 01:40:04.182
[SPEAKER_00]: through Mac and Tyre played a factor into the outcome of this match.
01:40:04.202 --> 01:40:11.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the fact that we got this match in the main event, this means I want to see it even less, happen at WrestleMania.
01:40:11.112 --> 01:40:14.056
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think we are going to see it at WrestleMania.
01:40:15.639 --> 01:40:19.144
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got our ring introduction, we'll pick it up after the commercial break here.
01:40:19.364 --> 01:40:24.472
[SPEAKER_00]: Decent match, nothing special, your prototypical standard main event for Friday nights, Macdown.
01:40:25.053 --> 01:40:30.180
[SPEAKER_00]: Orton targeted black with his stomps,
01:40:31.021 --> 01:40:49.568
[SPEAKER_00]: this allowed black to respond with the need to the back of Randy Orton black hit or with a running kick across the apron through him into the ring post back in the ring we go black smashed orton with a running knee strike for a near fall black applied a rest hold on Orton and tried to maintain the pressure of the hold.
01:40:50.610 --> 01:40:55.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Orton got himself to his feet he fought out of the whole super lexate temp by Orton block by black.
01:40:55.878 --> 01:41:00.825
[SPEAKER_00]: But once again, blast the word with a need to the face this time he goes for
01:41:01.582 --> 01:41:07.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Black again out of work in a wrestled with the arm wrapped around Orton's face.
01:41:07.290 --> 01:41:08.772
[SPEAKER_00]: So there was a lot of wrestled here.
01:41:10.275 --> 01:41:16.904
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know if that is what you want to see in a main event where everything is just slowed down to a snail scroll.
01:41:17.926 --> 01:41:24.996
[SPEAKER_00]: But Orton battled back with a big uppercut, he sent black onto the apron Orton at black and position for his gripping DDT, but black escaped.
01:41:26.057 --> 01:41:30.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Black came right back with a boot to the face, followed by a shoulders to the
01:41:30.944 --> 01:41:43.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Black at Orton and another wrestled, got counted into a back soup lex, orton got himself up, close lines, scoop power slam, draping DDT signature orton.
01:41:44.326 --> 01:41:50.701
[SPEAKER_00]: Orton zoned in on black, he had him right in position for the RKO black escaped it rolled out of the ring.
01:41:50.741 --> 01:41:57.195
[SPEAKER_00]: So black follows with a shrunk kick and nailed or in the face.
01:41:57.897 --> 01:42:02.267
[SPEAKER_00]: One try for the back soup, lex across the announce desk, but black blocked it.
01:42:02.247 --> 01:42:15.828
[SPEAKER_00]: However, at this point, Orton managed to block another kick from Black, slant him across the commentary table, eventually Black outcalled, Orton dropped him with a draping DDT from the announced desk on the floor outside.
01:42:16.710 --> 01:42:27.867
[SPEAKER_00]: It was at this point that Orton rolled Black into the ring for a final RKO, and that's when Drew McIntyre smashed Orton in the face with the WWE title.
01:42:29.062 --> 01:42:30.404
[SPEAKER_00]: The referee didn't see it.
01:42:31.145 --> 01:42:37.355
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes gave Chase the McIntyre who, you know, was, uh, he told Nick Aldis to the McIntyre.
01:42:37.375 --> 01:42:38.297
[SPEAKER_00]: They was leaving the building.
01:42:39.278 --> 01:42:46.710
[SPEAKER_00]: So when Cody seen this, he was possessed to go chase McIntyre out of the building in the ring, black hit a very weak looking black mass.
01:42:47.391 --> 01:42:48.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Got enough for the win though.
01:42:48.433 --> 01:42:50.496
[SPEAKER_00]: He pin ran the one, two, three off his finish.
01:42:51.859 --> 01:42:52.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was it.
01:42:53.227 --> 01:42:55.231
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the way SmackDown came to a close.
01:42:55.251 --> 01:42:58.777
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton suffers a loss from Alistair Black and the main event.
01:42:58.858 --> 01:43:00.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks to Drew McIntyre.
01:43:00.300 --> 01:43:09.177
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you go back and listen to what I laid out and detailed for you in the beginning of this stream in the beginning of this podcast.
01:43:09.275 --> 01:43:12.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton lost because of Drew McIntyre.
01:43:12.700 --> 01:43:16.426
[SPEAKER_00]: The consequences of Drew McIntyre's actions are accumulating week by week.
01:43:16.867 --> 01:43:18.489
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton's going into the chamber.
01:43:18.549 --> 01:43:25.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton's going to factor into winning the chamber because McIntyre's going to find his way into the chamber and take out Cody Rhodes.
01:43:25.860 --> 01:43:29.326
[SPEAKER_00]: And he is going to cost Cody Rhodes the match.
01:43:30.568 --> 01:43:32.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see it coming down to Orton and Cody.
01:43:33.659 --> 01:43:38.787
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see the door remaining open when we get those final two competitors in the ring.
01:43:39.588 --> 01:43:52.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Income Drew, Claymore, Chaos and Soos, instead of what Sammy did, Orton's going to take advantage of it and use McIntyre to his advantage because that is what Cody told Sammy.
01:43:52.868 --> 01:43:56.494
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't think Randy's going to do that, then you are a fool.
01:43:56.744 --> 01:43:57.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy's going to win the chamber.
01:43:58.406 --> 01:44:08.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody's going to find himself not with the WrestleMania main event, but it's going to be Randy and Drew on paper for WrestleMania night, night one, because Punk and Roman are meant to make a main event thing night two.
01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:15.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy and Drew night one, Cody and fought to get added fatal four way happening at WrestleMania.
01:44:15.488 --> 01:44:15.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Book it.
01:44:16.709 --> 01:44:21.115
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's not a fatal four way at WrestleMania night one, I don't know what the fuck we're doing.
01:44:22.158 --> 01:44:34.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Rainity one is not wrestling, going through it's not going to be career killer versus legend killer, going through I am pretty confident it's going to be wrestling, Rey Mysterio or WrestleMania if he could remain healthy after what we see him do to drag and lay on Monday.
01:44:35.718 --> 01:44:40.605
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that will be a little bit more clear in the direction of going through for WrestleMania.
01:44:40.940 --> 01:44:44.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, AJ Styles is on, but then at RAW, we don't know how that's going to factor into anything.
01:44:45.067 --> 01:44:46.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they use that as an angle to push an angle.
01:44:47.070 --> 01:44:47.491
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know.
01:44:48.292 --> 01:44:54.642
[SPEAKER_00]: But's Orton fatal four way bucket for the WWE title, like one of WrestleMania.
01:44:56.605 --> 01:44:57.767
[SPEAKER_00]: SmackDown was okay.
01:44:59.165 --> 01:44:59.846
[SPEAKER_00]: It was okay.
01:44:59.866 --> 01:45:17.899
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't, uh, something that I would urge you guys to go and watch and go and raise a wire washes because I do what I do here for you guys, but outside the semi-coady stuff backstage outside the Drew McIntyre interference on Randy Ortnelles to black and outside Charlotte, not advancing.
01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:21.966
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't really much of anything else to talk about on Samantha.
01:45:22.317 --> 01:45:25.322
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thank you guys for joining me here on this happy hour Saturday afternoon.
01:45:25.342 --> 01:45:28.307
[SPEAKER_00]: We had close to 18 larger people here on a Saturday, man.
01:45:28.748 --> 01:45:29.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Appreciate that.
01:45:29.710 --> 01:45:30.391

[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys want to get them on in, I would urge you to do so.
01:45:37.003 --> 01:45:38.626

01:46:41.461 --> 01:46:44.805
[SPEAKER_00]: It was also very uncomfortable to see Sami Zayn feel so weak.
01:46:46.427 --> 01:46:48.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Sami telling Cody he put a knife in his back.
01:46:49.792 --> 01:46:51.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody saying that's your perspective, Sami.
01:46:52.635 --> 01:46:54.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Talking about taking advantage of opportunities.
01:46:55.439 --> 01:46:57.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Fans going, oh-ho-ho!
01:46:58.042 --> 01:47:01.727
[SPEAKER_00]: When Cody said that's why Sami hasn't become WWE champion.
01:47:01.767 --> 01:47:11.299
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Golden Boy line, QB1, everything comes up, aces for Cody.
01:47:11.363 --> 01:47:17.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody wants to be in a situation where someone says, the only thing in your way is you.
01:47:18.894 --> 01:47:20.076
[SPEAKER_00]: That hits a little different, huh?
01:47:21.498 --> 01:47:24.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is why I'm glad we're sponsored tonight by Bluetooth Gold.
01:47:25.083 --> 01:47:28.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Because when an opportunity presents itself, you don't want to hesitate.
01:47:30.170 --> 01:47:31.372
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to overthink it.
01:47:32.594 --> 01:47:37.000
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to be the guy saying, man, if I just had one more shot, that's awful.
01:47:38.296 --> 01:47:47.946
[SPEAKER_00]: Blutcher Gold is the newest innovation from the number one Schuable ED brand to four one powerhouse design to help you feel confident and ready when the moment hits.
01:47:48.547 --> 01:47:51.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody said you have to take advantage of opportunities when they come.
01:47:52.031 --> 01:47:55.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Blutcher Gold dissolves under your tongue and can work in as little as 15 minutes.
01:47:56.495 --> 01:48:00.239
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not wait 10 years to finish your story energy like Sami Zayn.
01:48:00.540 --> 01:48:03.763
[SPEAKER_00]: That's Bill Rings Let's Go Energy.
01:48:04.705 --> 01:48:06.291
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to crossroads that are nowhere.
01:48:06.331 --> 01:48:09.504
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to be swatting water bottles in frustration.
01:48:10.106 --> 01:48:11.552
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to show up prepared.
01:48:11.793 --> 01:48:14.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Calm, focus, locked in.
01:48:15.404 --> 01:48:20.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Golden-Bought confidence, not trying to figure it out backstage confidence.
01:48:20.370 --> 01:48:22.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Because this isn't about blaming the system.
01:48:22.532 --> 01:48:24.194
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not about blaming someone else.
01:48:24.775 --> 01:48:28.339
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about making sure the only thing in your way is not you.
01:48:28.399 --> 01:48:33.505
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Pete Passion Peak performance, no apology, tour, necessary.

01:49:53.650 --> 01:49:55.273
[SPEAKER_00]: I take the good with the bad.
01:49:55.456 --> 01:50:06.250

[SPEAKER_00]: Are they allergic to that match?
01:50:37.830 --> 01:50:42.338
[SPEAKER_00]: No, because I genuinely think they find something special there and they don't want to give it away too soon.

01:52:48.270 --> 01:52:51.533
[SPEAKER_00]: Not at House of Glory, I believe you would play a great heel.
01:52:53.757 --> 01:52:58.481
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, I'm thinking maybe I managed someone and become a heal manager.
01:53:02.425 --> 01:53:04.146

01:53:04.427 --> 01:53:05.928

[SPEAKER_00]: G.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: 9 with a 499.
01:56:13.687 --> 01:56:20.695
[SPEAKER_00]: The last night's SmackDown was in Fort Lottodale at the Florida Panthers arena about 30 minutes away for me, and I still wasn't interested in attending a life.
01:56:23.258 --> 01:56:29.226
[SPEAKER_00]: SmackDown is not a show that has garnered a lot of interest.
01:56:29.246 --> 01:56:32.730
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just no major one major overlapping story.
01:56:35.293 --> 01:56:37.135
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no real reason to go.
01:56:43.747 --> 01:56:47.952
[SPEAKER_00]: WrestleMess with a one-nine denying could you see Keanu winning the elimination chamber to make a new star?
01:56:47.973 --> 01:56:49.575
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:56:49.595 --> 01:56:50.716

01:58:06.890 --> 01:58:12.297
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the promo work has been atrocious lately, and I've actually praised Becky's promo work lately.
01:58:12.537 --> 01:58:20.106
[SPEAKER_00]: The last couple, last couple weeks are not good, and AJ's not good at all since coming back.
01:58:24.351 --> 01:58:25.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Wrestling S with the 99.
01:58:25.513 --> 01:58:28.857
[SPEAKER_00]: No snow here in Vegas, just great indie wrestling.
01:58:34.103 --> 01:58:35.445
[SPEAKER_00]: We may be in Vegas.
01:58:36.607 --> 01:58:37.909
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll keep you guys posted on that.
01:58:41.393 --> 01:58:42.895
[SPEAKER_00]: And M James.
01:58:44.076 --> 01:58:47.361
[SPEAKER_00]: We got actually one from Joseph first, Joseph of the 1999.
01:58:47.621 --> 01:58:51.045
[SPEAKER_00]: A fatal forler would make the elimination chamber match pointless.
01:58:52.367 --> 01:58:58.655
[SPEAKER_00]: No, because if it weren't wins, he is a benefactor of the elimination chamber.
01:58:59.456 --> 01:59:04.943
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody and Fatu are a benefactor of McIntyre making critical mistakes.
01:59:06.070 --> 01:59:07.432
[SPEAKER_00]: which Nick all this will correct.
01:59:08.853 --> 01:59:09.775
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes perfect sense.
01:59:11.096 --> 01:59:12.658
[SPEAKER_00]: And M. James will fight all Superjet.
01:59:12.698 --> 01:59:15.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you know, Bruce pressured.
01:59:16.363 --> 01:59:19.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Pitched, seen his final match to be a one match event.
01:59:19.326 --> 01:59:22.390
[SPEAKER_00]: genuinely wonder how he gets praised by people within the business.
01:59:23.231 --> 01:59:24.052
[SPEAKER_00]: The way that he does.
01:59:24.252 --> 01:59:30.660
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Bruce is a retard, and he is a cancer to the WWE that needs to be eliminated completely.
01:59:33.593 --> 01:59:36.699
[SPEAKER_00]: That Maddie boom with a 1-9-9, how would you fix the Wyatt 6?
01:59:37.580 --> 01:59:39.404
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't, I just take them off television.
01:59:41.968 --> 01:59:53.710
[SPEAKER_00]: They made the one mistake I didn't want them to make with the Wyatt 6, and they made them supernatural, and they gave them this gimmick, and it doesn't translate well to what they do in the ring.
01:59:53.730 --> 01:59:54.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a fan.
