WEBVTT
00:01.185 --> 00:02.026
[UNKNOWN]: about errors.
00:02.767 --> 00:04.628
[SPEAKER_00]: It also isn't about excuses.
00:05.349 --> 00:12.816
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE High-Stale Creatively, AEW High-Stale Fundamentally, so what it Triple H lose the plot?
00:13.357 --> 00:22.266
[SPEAKER_00]: What it's only can't abandon everything that made AEW special, because nobody has committed to the one thing that actually matters.
00:22.826 --> 00:25.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Long-time booking.
00:34.674 --> 00:38.636
[SPEAKER_00]: What is going on guys, thank you so very much for joining me right here on off the script.
00:38.796 --> 00:50.142
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your NXT post show for your November 4th, 2021, I'm your host, JD from New York.
00:50.242 --> 00:54.043
[SPEAKER_00]: As always, coming to you live from the OTS video.
00:54.624 --> 01:00.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys so very much for joining me on this Wednesday evening, wherever you may be.
01:04.701 --> 01:07.962
[SPEAKER_00]: I have decided to not cover A.W.
01:07.982 --> 01:08.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Dynamite tonight.
01:08.782 --> 01:29.187
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people were expecting me to cover such a monumental, such an amazing, such a bloody and gutsy show tonight from Jacksonville, Florida, which was not sold out by the way.
01:32.535 --> 01:47.582
[SPEAKER_00]: I could not bring myself to cover AEW tonight's, I have never felt as disinterested for a blooding guts match in the five years that AEW has been doing them.
01:50.364 --> 01:51.144
[SPEAKER_00]: None of it matters.
01:53.365 --> 01:58.968
[SPEAKER_00]: The people and the individuals that were in this match, none of it mattered.
02:00.181 --> 02:04.804
[SPEAKER_00]: The stories aren't there to really bring you in, suck you in.
02:04.844 --> 02:09.186
[SPEAKER_00]: The stories are just not there, they're not captivating enough.
02:09.246 --> 02:20.413
[SPEAKER_00]: The tensions between everybody is so manufactured, it is so forced, it is 12 guys, just randomly
02:28.058 --> 02:40.081
[SPEAKER_00]: That's everybody's got to bring a fucking weapon to the cage and they bleed for 60 minutes because it's got to live up to being blood and guts.
02:42.321 --> 02:43.882
[SPEAKER_00]: The women's match was even worse.
02:45.202 --> 02:52.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I tuned in during the commercials tonight and the advertised match that we got last Wednesday wasn't even the match we got tonight.
02:54.517 --> 03:07.465
[SPEAKER_00]: They changed participants in this match because making the match, the women's match, making the women's match even more of a waste of time.
03:09.887 --> 03:11.468
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what goes through their heads.
03:13.089 --> 03:13.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
03:14.770 --> 03:23.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, when there is such a lack of story, what do you genuinely want me and Jessie
03:25.317 --> 03:27.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, Chris that led her.
03:27.218 --> 03:29.499
[SPEAKER_00]: She got hit over the head with a light tube.
03:29.680 --> 03:31.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, like I'm watching fucking G.C.
03:32.081 --> 03:34.582
[SPEAKER_00]: W. Bro, who the fuck wants to watch that?
03:35.763 --> 03:36.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriously.
03:38.144 --> 03:44.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Thumbtax and leaf blowers and shains and painted steel shares, bro.
03:45.248 --> 03:46.669
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't bring myself to do it.
03:48.410 --> 03:52.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Khan has made blooding guts.
03:53.937 --> 04:17.610
[SPEAKER_00]: into what Vince McMahon turns hell in a cell into an absolute waste of time every single year that we the fan base are now questioning what does this need to take place once upon a time this match used to fill out a reen is 10,000 plus couldn't even get 5000 plus in Jacksonville, Florida tonight.
04:20.415 --> 04:33.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Those to show you one thing and one thing only chat, the one thing that we always say is the most important when you tell a story and you get people to care, people will come out and buy tickets to watch your show.
04:35.119 --> 04:38.439
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that you don't do that, you see the results.
04:39.860 --> 04:40.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Clip it.
04:44.601 --> 04:45.561
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not here to talk about,
04:54.923 --> 04:58.786
[SPEAKER_00]: I've said time and time and time again that this version of NXT is not for me.
05:00.067 --> 05:00.887
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not for me.
05:01.008 --> 05:02.409
[SPEAKER_00]: It will never be for me.
05:02.629 --> 05:10.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I am not at any time under any circumstances going to watch this show on a weekly basis.
05:11.876 --> 05:16.319
[SPEAKER_00]: It is basically a sanitized version of an already
05:26.980 --> 05:36.388
[SPEAKER_00]: very subpar commentary team, in ring action that is riddled with commercial breaks just like the main roster.
05:40.472 --> 05:54.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Writing that is certainly not for me or people that were born in my generation, wrestlers acting, reciting lines that were written by somebody that clearly has lost
05:56.313 --> 06:01.555
[SPEAKER_00]: This NXT is never going to be for me, but some of you guys enjoy the product.
06:03.156 --> 06:03.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not.
06:05.117 --> 06:06.337
[SPEAKER_00]: So why did I tune in tonight?
06:06.377 --> 06:07.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did I choose this over time?
06:07.618 --> 06:14.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, when you got Chad Gable, Ray Phoenix, not Penta, I mean, I was surprised, Penta wasn't there.
06:15.341 --> 06:25.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Ray Phoenix, Chad Gable, Dragon Lee, Mike Santana, and all of nine four six, John Cena making another classic announcement.
06:26.033 --> 06:33.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes, who we all knew was going to be on the show for like two or three minutes and really do nothing but hand the fucking trophy to the winner of the Dusty Classic.
06:34.698 --> 06:40.401
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you got CM Punk and Grayson Waller in the main event for the NXT World Champion chip.
06:40.841 --> 06:47.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And then WWE started teasing that Kevin Owens was in the building and Kevin Owens might be a part of the show.
06:48.025 --> 06:51.547
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, you know what, I'm going to make a late decision.
06:56.445 --> 06:57.285
[SPEAKER_00]: He was very pleased.
06:57.305 --> 06:58.626
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't have to do two streams.
06:58.646 --> 07:00.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He only had to do one stream.
07:00.966 --> 07:02.847
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, you know what, man, I'm going to watch NXT.
07:02.887 --> 07:04.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to cover NXT tonight.
07:06.488 --> 07:07.308
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I'm here.
07:09.029 --> 07:09.689
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I'm here.
07:12.370 --> 07:17.611
[SPEAKER_00]: The biggest takeaway for tonight's show is two things.
07:17.631 --> 07:18.451
[SPEAKER_00]: The mix of two things.
07:21.852 --> 07:24.073
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight's show shows you exactly.
07:25.267 --> 07:28.089
[SPEAKER_00]: What WWE is going to do with the Johnson and the classic?
07:29.710 --> 07:32.132
[SPEAKER_00]: This show wasn't about beating AEW in the ratings.
07:33.173 --> 07:34.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Though I'm sure it'll be close.
07:34.834 --> 07:37.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I see some people really harping on what the ratings are going to be.
07:37.416 --> 07:39.538
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, people live and die by these fucking ratings.
07:39.558 --> 07:40.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Who gives a shit?
07:41.359 --> 07:43.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Who gives a shit?
07:43.861 --> 07:50.907
[SPEAKER_00]: 52 weeks out of the year, I would say NXT beats AEW maybe 48 out of the 52 weeks in the year.
07:52.290 --> 08:09.439
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are one of those people that still believe Meltzer's calculations, because Meltzer is still running off the fucking notion of blow job bethal, saying that Max is yielding 500,000 weekly viewers for a dynamite in Collision bed.
08:09.479 --> 08:14.321
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the guy must have been smoking some crystal fucking meth that's a come up with those fucking numbers.
08:15.442 --> 08:16.983
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus fucking Christ.
08:18.170 --> 08:23.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Holy shit, did Nikola Piccolo beat you over the fucking head with his fucking surfboard?
08:23.693 --> 08:24.994
[SPEAKER_00]: You fucking fool.
08:26.235 --> 08:27.095
[SPEAKER_00]: My god.
08:31.698 --> 08:35.200
[SPEAKER_00]: 48 out of the 52 weeks NXT beats, AEW in the ratings.
08:35.500 --> 08:37.822
[SPEAKER_00]: This wasn't about beating AEW in the ratings.
08:38.722 --> 08:41.244
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, they got preempted because of the election.
08:42.558 --> 08:53.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming WWE or CW, a mixture of a couple of figure heads from both companies came together and said, well, we don't really want to run against the election and election coverage.
08:53.621 --> 08:54.501
[SPEAKER_00]: People take that shit.
08:54.601 --> 08:55.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Where to fucking seriously?
08:57.022 --> 08:58.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go to Wednesday night.
08:59.643 --> 09:02.724
[SPEAKER_00]: And they decided to run head to head with AEW on their home turf.
09:03.944 --> 09:05.344
[SPEAKER_00]: The rating is probably going to be closed.
09:05.384 --> 09:07.225
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw some people today like Raj Geary.
09:08.353 --> 09:10.974
[SPEAKER_00]: who said that NXT was pre-empted in some markets.
09:11.515 --> 09:13.336
[SPEAKER_00]: People live in die by these fucking ratings.
09:13.376 --> 09:14.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really understand it.
09:15.237 --> 09:15.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell you, W.E.
09:15.977 --> 09:18.179
[SPEAKER_00]: never wants to beat A.E.W in the ratings.
09:19.259 --> 09:22.921
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at what they do, their strategy isn't to beat A.E.W in the ratings.
09:22.941 --> 09:25.162
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like a fucking woodpecker.
09:26.403 --> 09:30.605
[SPEAKER_00]: They just sit at their tree and they pack wood.
09:32.286 --> 09:35.788
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like a fly on the fourth of July at your family bar with you.
09:38.050 --> 09:41.352
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't give a shit, he swiped it away.
09:41.953 --> 09:46.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Wave your hands here and then get away from my fucking hot dog, get away from my Macaroni salad.
09:48.638 --> 09:56.103
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE never expects to be 80W in the ratings, not with NXT, not with Triple A.
09:57.124 --> 09:58.405
[SPEAKER_00]: World's collide.
10:00.532 --> 10:05.756
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is looking to take market share away from AEW.
10:06.436 --> 10:10.659
[SPEAKER_00]: They're looking to steal engagement away from AEW.
10:12.360 --> 10:19.165
[SPEAKER_00]: So they'll run a Chicago going head to head with a non-tellivized show against a major AEW show.
10:19.786 --> 10:24.749
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll go to Wednesday night with an NXT show that is absolutely loaded
10:27.646 --> 10:42.470
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll run AAA and NXT in the early afternoon when they see fit to go against an overseas AEW pay per view because they can because they can and you know why it's never going to stop.
10:44.090 --> 10:45.350
[SPEAKER_00]: It's never going to stop.
10:47.431 --> 10:52.912
[SPEAKER_00]: They are looking to steal market share, they're looking to take money away from AEW,
10:56.012 --> 10:57.093
[SPEAKER_00]: away from AEW.
10:57.433 --> 11:02.696
[SPEAKER_00]: The less people are talking about AEW and the more people are talking about WWE, that's all they care about.
11:03.997 --> 11:04.857
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all they care about.
11:04.897 --> 11:08.299
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they put CM Punk in the main event against Grayson Waller for the NXT championship.
11:08.319 --> 11:14.322
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they had Kevin Owens out there adding a little heat to the fire for their match on Friday in Brooklyn.
11:14.863 --> 11:16.404
[SPEAKER_00]: No holds barred on SmackDown.
11:17.044 --> 11:19.626
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they had John Cena come out tonight
11:25.533 --> 11:28.794
[SPEAKER_00]: to be the second invite to the Johnson Eclasic.
11:32.856 --> 11:37.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight's show was all about giving you a glimpse into what the Johnson Eclasic is going to be.
11:39.599 --> 11:44.161
[SPEAKER_00]: That opening six man take team match with the Vanity Project, who I fucking love man, they're fucking great.
11:44.921 --> 11:46.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Vanity Project is fucking awesome.
11:48.328 --> 11:52.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Watch the vanity project against Gable, Phoenix, and Dragon Lee.
11:52.530 --> 12:01.855
[SPEAKER_00]: That is some of the best, prime, young talent that NXT has to offer against three fucking absolute machines on the mayor's roster.
12:01.875 --> 12:04.276
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the Johnson Eclassic is gonna be.
12:06.757 --> 12:10.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you get something like Mike Santana and Dion Lennox.
12:12.080 --> 12:13.961
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the Johnson Eclassic is gonna be.
12:15.832 --> 12:20.836
[SPEAKER_00]: He got something like Kalani Jordan and Paige for the NXT Women's Championship.
12:21.716 --> 12:23.117
[SPEAKER_00]: I get why they went with Paige.
12:23.437 --> 12:25.459
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have went with something a little bit more exciting.
12:25.519 --> 12:26.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have went with EO.
12:28.161 --> 12:33.465
[SPEAKER_00]: But Kalani Jordan and Paige, you get a glimpse into what the John Cena classic is going to be.
12:35.126 --> 12:36.287
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what this night was about.
12:36.307 --> 12:37.648
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't about beating 8.0.
12:39.229 --> 12:42.291
[SPEAKER_00]: It was partially to take market share away from AEW.
12:43.735 --> 13:07.142
[SPEAKER_00]: and it was partially to show you what the Johnson at class it was going to be or is going to be Johnson was on the show and he came out no fluff i believe he was sporting a brand new color t-shirt and a brand new hat think the shirt he had on monday was gray tonight was blue
13:12.194 --> 13:14.036
[SPEAKER_00]: But he came at sporting new merchandise.
13:15.177 --> 13:16.338
[SPEAKER_00]: He was excited to be there.
13:18.000 --> 13:19.261
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't really waste any time.
13:20.303 --> 13:24.887
[SPEAKER_00]: And he invited Zilafatu to compete in the Johnson of Classic.
13:24.907 --> 13:28.191
[SPEAKER_00]: He is now the second entry in the Johnson of Classic.
13:28.571 --> 13:33.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rose was announced as the first entry in the Johnson of Classic that happened on Monday.
13:37.853 --> 13:41.836
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been very vocal about the John Cena classic and the rollout of the announcements.
13:41.976 --> 14:04.954
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's nothing more than corporate slopp, WWE at John Cena go out on Monday, and he was sporting a brand new hat brand new T-shirt, new title belt, which was the replica title that he had on Monday, the one that's going to be sold on shop dot com $800 a pop already sold out within minutes of it going live on the website.
14:09.373 --> 14:30.237
[SPEAKER_00]: him announcing in a very corny way, we're going to Disney world and then announcing December 14th with the Johnson and Classic taking place at Walt Disney wide world of sports complex in Orlando, Florida, the corporate synergy with WWE and Mickey Mouse
14:38.867 --> 14:39.487
[SPEAKER_00]: partnership.
14:39.587 --> 14:40.328
[SPEAKER_00]: What that means.
14:40.488 --> 14:40.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
14:41.008 --> 14:45.691
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll probably mean a WWE attraction or attractions at the theme park.
14:46.432 --> 15:01.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows if there's going to be a physical Hall of Fame at Walt Disney being that everything is already centralized in Orlando, Florida for WWE talent live down there they train down there events happen down there
15:04.635 --> 15:07.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows what else is to come with partnerships?
15:07.298 --> 15:10.421
[SPEAKER_00]: They got something going on with Doomsday.
15:10.441 --> 15:14.145
[SPEAKER_00]: This mega movie coming out in December.
15:14.786 --> 15:18.129

[SPEAKER_00]: That WWE is doing events overseas.
15:22.794 --> 15:23.515
[SPEAKER_00]: And Australia.
15:25.083 --> 15:28.766
[SPEAKER_00]: All the way across the other side of the fucking globe, WWE is going to be doing events.
15:29.326 --> 15:32.709
[SPEAKER_00]: And here in the United States, we're getting a Johnson and Classic on Monday and at Raw.
15:32.729 --> 15:38.053
[SPEAKER_00]: There'll be two Rawls in one night on that Monday, December 14th.
15:42.136 --> 15:46.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been very vocal about the partnership, the rollout, the announcement.
15:48.000 --> 15:50.562
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a walking advertisement for shop.com.
15:54.892 --> 16:07.414
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got the announcement that the voting, they'll be a voting process for all these matches, random matches will be added, a voting process will be taking place on club WWE.
16:08.474 --> 16:10.735
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to be a member to club WWE to vote.
16:10.795 --> 16:12.135
[SPEAKER_00]: It's $100 for the year.
16:12.695 --> 16:14.496
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if there's a monthly subscription.
16:15.076 --> 16:16.676
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you can sign up per month.
16:17.296 --> 16:19.917
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably more expensive to do that if there is an option.
16:20.477 --> 16:21.317
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's 99, 99 for the year.
16:23.442 --> 16:24.723
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the only way you can vote.
16:25.703 --> 16:33.167
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is shutting out everybody else who watch the product and they're keeping it contained the club WWE on the one hand I get it on the other hand I don't.

17:04.850 --> 17:12.275
[SPEAKER_00]: But tonight, tonight you saw the good in what the John Cena classic is going to give us.
17:14.037 --> 17:19.160
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena was in the ring and he immediately brought out Zilla Fattu who has awful
17:21.100 --> 17:24.662
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the first time I heard Zilla's theme music with open ears.
17:25.123 --> 17:28.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla's theme music is fucking awful and in no way fits him whatsoever.
17:31.547 --> 17:33.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think they didn't him that dirty with the theme music.
17:37.611 --> 17:37.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever.
17:39.512 --> 17:40.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla fought two comes on out.
17:48.539 --> 17:52.862
[SPEAKER_00]: with Zilafat to basically going over his history with the Anawaii family.
17:54.443 --> 17:56.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Feeling like he's an honorary Simone.
17:57.645 --> 18:01.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Detailing his battles with Roman reigns in the rock.
18:02.668 --> 18:06.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Drinking a couple of cold ones in the back with the usos, he's an usus.
18:07.791 --> 18:12.714
[SPEAKER_00]: He mentions Zilaf's father Umaga, who's one of John Cena's greatest rivals.
18:16.116 --> 18:24.859
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a star making moment or at least the beginning stages of a star making moment for Zilla Fattu being in the ring with John Cena getting the personal endorsement from John Cena.
18:26.079 --> 18:27.080
[SPEAKER_00]: He's now in the tournament.
18:28.880 --> 18:30.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how you guys feel about it.
18:30.301 --> 18:32.041
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who else is going to be in this thing.
18:32.081 --> 18:35.282
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the rest of the field is going to look like.
18:36.383 --> 18:38.283
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know if there's going to be women's matches.
18:38.303 --> 18:40.544
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe John Cena wants to invite a couple of women.
18:40.584 --> 18:41.484
[SPEAKER_00]: Three men's matches.
18:41.504 --> 18:42.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Three women's matches.
18:42.485 --> 18:42.865
[SPEAKER_00]: We vote.
18:44.503 --> 18:44.963
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
18:45.143 --> 18:49.905
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it's going to be and who is going to take part in this thing.
18:50.525 --> 18:51.806
[SPEAKER_00]: But right now we have two of the men.
18:53.426 --> 18:55.107
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Zilafatu and Cody Rhodes.
18:56.147 --> 19:05.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilafatu has to be unless Oberfemi is not announced, which I find very difficult to believe why John
19:14.014 --> 19:17.056
[SPEAKER_00]: to compete on that show on December 13th in Washington.
19:17.396 --> 19:25.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Why Obofemi one year later would not be acts to compete as part of the main roster after the year he's had in the John Cena Classic this year.
19:26.901 --> 19:28.462
[SPEAKER_00]: I find that very difficult to believe.
19:30.563 --> 19:38.688
[SPEAKER_00]: If Obo is not in this John Cena Classic, Zilla fought to has to be the odds on favor to win this entire thing.
19:39.848 --> 19:40.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's gonna come down to voting.
19:42.580 --> 19:45.381
[SPEAKER_00]: doing enough fans know of Zilifatu to vote.
19:46.782 --> 19:54.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Doing enough people knows Zilifatu as a member of the family, the on a white family, do they know that he's related?
19:56.607 --> 20:06.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Or do they think he's just another one of these summons that we are going to be forced to cheer for because there's nothing but this push, this narrative to push the summons family.
20:08.152 --> 20:09.593
[SPEAKER_00]: How are people going to embrace that?
20:12.115 --> 20:17.178
[SPEAKER_00]: But you've got to look at what this tournament or this series of matches.
20:17.198 --> 20:19.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very difficult for me to not call it a tournament.
20:19.159 --> 20:20.420
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why it's not a tournament.
20:22.642 --> 20:24.603
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got to look at what this thing is going to be.
20:25.463 --> 20:35.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Is Ilafatu is the absolute definition of what this Sean scene tournament should breed the next star, the future of the company.
20:36.651 --> 20:45.058
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know what the winner gets, the winner gets a champion, should belt that will be showcased at the end of that night on December 14th, to probably go back into the WWE Volt somewhere.
20:46.559 --> 20:47.559
[SPEAKER_00]: What does the winner get?
20:47.920 --> 20:49.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the winner get a main roster contract?
20:50.562 --> 20:52.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the winner get fast track to the main roster?
20:53.724 --> 20:57.447
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the winner get a spot in the Royal Rumble at a prime position?
20:58.688 --> 21:00.790
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there something else that we might not be thinking of?
21:02.931 --> 21:03.512
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
21:05.592 --> 21:08.736
[SPEAKER_00]: But Zilla Fattu has to be looked at as the odds on favor to win this thing.
21:09.677 --> 21:15.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, we're John Cena announcing him as participant number two.
21:16.404 --> 21:17.626
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a great moment.
21:18.619 --> 21:21.761
[SPEAKER_00]: for Zilla Fatu, a great moment between Cena and Zilla Fatu.
21:22.382 --> 21:28.886
[SPEAKER_00]: One that was, and I use this word a lot with John Cena, because John Cena is a corporate puppet.
21:29.586 --> 21:32.568
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena is very robotic, and everything he does.
21:32.628 --> 21:36.991
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the company's quintessential grade A number one spokesperson.
21:37.391 --> 21:39.993
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so eloquently well-spoken.
21:42.095 --> 21:45.397
[SPEAKER_00]: But if everything that we say about John Cena being a company guy,
21:46.418 --> 21:58.888
[SPEAKER_00]: that moment for the brief minutes that it was was one of the more genuine moments that you'll see across WWE TV all year and in fact one of the more genuine moments that we'll see John Cena in all year.
22:00.530 --> 22:10.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Incredible moment and I'm very happy for Zilla Fattu not only because I had a little small piece of being on his journey being fortunate and being
22:12.895 --> 22:15.737
[SPEAKER_00]: to be in the position that I'm in to call some of that man's matches.
22:16.277 --> 22:17.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Big fan of what he does.
22:19.039 --> 22:22.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Very, very hyped to see what he does and where he goes.
22:23.021 --> 22:25.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has my 100% support.
22:28.004 --> 22:31.366
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exciting to see how he's coming along.
22:32.627 --> 22:37.270
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hope WWE knows what they have in Zilla Fatu, John Cena clearly does.
22:39.417 --> 22:40.177
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to get into this.
22:40.358 --> 22:42.799
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about this NXT again.
22:42.819 --> 22:52.444
[SPEAKER_00]: There wasn't a lot of story on this show because it was basically let's load up this show in the best way possible with some of our biggest names to combat AEW.
22:52.484 --> 22:54.825
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll try and make sense of all this.
22:54.865 --> 23:00.688
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your NXT Wednesday night post show for November 4th, 2000 and 26.
23:08.506 --> 23:10.567
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to thank you guys for joining me here on this Wednesday night.

[SPEAKER_00]: We had a great stream last night, man.
23:15.729 --> 23:21.231
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the more entertaining Tuesday night Titans that we've done all year.
23:22.412 --> 23:28.654
[SPEAKER_00]: Jason and I went over everything from Mike Santana day viewing on the main roster and joining 946.
23:29.375 --> 23:35.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce Pritchard retiring and Sean Michaels taking his spot on the main roster.
23:36.017 --> 23:37.018
[SPEAKER_00]: What that means?
23:38.560 --> 23:43.563
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a follow-up report saying that all of that story was not true whatsoever.
23:43.603 --> 23:44.684
[SPEAKER_00]: I call bullshit on that.
23:46.445 --> 23:48.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about the John Cena Classic.
23:49.883 --> 23:56.247

[SPEAKER_00]: I did see that.
26:30.353 --> 26:32.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have the official story up right now.
26:32.334 --> 26:32.915

[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll talk about this now.
26:42.279 --> 26:43.220
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about this now.
26:43.260 --> 26:44.481
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll pull it up on my iPad.
26:45.201 --> 26:46.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently Chad is saying,
26:55.272 --> 26:56.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's get into this.
26:56.273 --> 26:58.934
[SPEAKER_00]: This is coming from the sites.
27:00.075 --> 27:06.099
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm already reportedly signs with WWE could be headed to NXT.
27:10.502 --> 27:11.722
[SPEAKER_00]: The real sky in the room.
27:11.762 --> 27:12.403
[SPEAKER_00]: How you doing?
27:14.192 --> 27:20.755
[SPEAKER_00]: He may be back in WWE, there's belief that Nso Amore has signed with the company over the last week, according to PWInsider Elite.
27:21.475 --> 27:25.357
[SPEAKER_00]: That has a paid subscription by Mike Johnson, a PWInsider.
27:25.397 --> 27:35.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Johnson was also the one that broke the news about Sean Michael's taking Bruce Prychard spot on the main roster and Bruce is retiring after WrestleMania 43.
27:36.362 --> 27:40.844
[SPEAKER_00]: It was then on fight full in a follow up by Sean Rossette.
27:41.464 --> 27:44.647
[SPEAKER_00]: that's none of this was apparently true.
27:45.468 --> 27:46.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I call bullshit.
27:48.190 --> 27:49.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I call bullshit.
27:49.911 --> 28:00.340
[SPEAKER_00]: All you are watching right now when you get one site putting out a story and then sap and fight full putting out a story both of which were behind to pay wall by the way.
28:02.342 --> 28:04.924
[SPEAKER_00]: You're watching dirt sheet wars.
28:12.221 --> 28:18.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Sapp only put that out there, and I'm not saying anything negatively about Sapp, okay?
28:20.444 --> 28:26.206
[SPEAKER_00]: Sapp only put that out there, fightfully put that out there because they want to be the ones to get the story right.
28:28.026 --> 28:33.028
[SPEAKER_00]: Secondly, WWE got spooked, they got scared.
28:39.155 --> 28:46.680
[SPEAKER_00]: that they had to put out a follow-up, through fightful, and fan the flames of the truth that my Johnson put out there.
28:47.541 --> 28:59.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I said on TNT last night, if my Johnson who, more than likely, got his sources double and triple checked, why would my Johnson put out a report?
29:00.690 --> 29:03.872
[SPEAKER_00]: If none of it was true, we're not true.
29:06.029 --> 29:13.330
[SPEAKER_00]: My Johnson put that out because he had double and triple sourced his fucking information and then put it out because he believes it to be true.
29:14.631 --> 29:16.851
[SPEAKER_00]: If it wasn't true, my Johnson wouldn't have put it out.
29:18.611 --> 29:19.732
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't operate that way.
29:19.752 --> 29:20.172
[SPEAKER_00]: P.W.
29:20.212 --> 29:27.053
[SPEAKER_00]: and Sotter, especially on the elite side of things, we got to pay to get some type of news, especially news like that.
29:28.473 --> 29:31.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand why he would put that out if it wasn't the case.
29:33.006 --> 29:36.489
[SPEAKER_00]: So WW had nobody else to go to because everybody else or fucking hacks.
29:37.189 --> 29:41.312
[SPEAKER_00]: So they went with the next credible source and that was fightful and they wanted to fan the flames.
29:41.732 --> 29:44.114
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce Pritchard is absolutely retiring.
29:45.015 --> 29:45.975
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it tells me.
29:46.856 --> 29:50.999
[SPEAKER_00]: The report that my Johnson put out hit a little bit too close to home.
29:53.301 --> 29:54.762
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter who got it first.
29:55.002 --> 29:56.323
[SPEAKER_00]: It matters who got it right.
29:57.505 --> 30:01.567
[SPEAKER_00]: But in this case, my Johnson got it right, sap wants to be right.
30:01.987 --> 30:04.548
[SPEAKER_00]: So he puts out a report claiming that it's not true.
30:06.649 --> 30:07.409
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll see.
30:08.750 --> 30:09.510
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll see.
30:10.791 --> 30:13.452
[SPEAKER_00]: If Bruce is not there, that's a big seat to fill.
30:13.472 --> 30:17.254
[SPEAKER_00]: That's 40 years of fucking Bruce Pritchard in WWE.
30:19.194 --> 30:22.396
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not gonna leave that seat empty.
30:23.336 --> 30:24.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone's gonna fill into that spot.
30:26.196 --> 30:30.819
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's already been reported that Bobby Rude is already being groomed to take Michael Hayes spot.
30:31.359 --> 30:33.040
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not Bruce Pritchard spot.
30:34.261 --> 30:36.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Rude is not taking Bruce Pritchard spot.
30:36.823 --> 30:41.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Rude is being groomed to take Michael Hayes spot.
30:42.486 --> 30:44.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So who exactly is taking Bruce Pritchard spot?
30:46.609 --> 30:50.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce Pritchard is going to work at 100% working remotely from home.
30:51.151 --> 30:51.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
30:53.024 --> 30:54.945
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna need somebody with their wits about them.
30:54.965 --> 30:56.405
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna need somebody that's involved.
30:56.425 --> 30:58.065
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna need somebody that's there.
30:59.086 --> 31:11.989
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right if Bruce wants the fucking be on the call whether it's Zoom or fucking what's app or wherever they do their weekly fucking meetings signal or whatever.
31:13.729 --> 31:15.390
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right for him to be a consultant.
31:16.750 --> 31:26.399
[SPEAKER_00]: But for someone to sit in that chair and be creative and an executive director of creative and talent, who's going to fill that spot?
31:27.360 --> 31:34.206
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nobody that is ready for the role outside of the name that was reported and that was Shawn Michaels.
31:44.063 --> 31:50.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Big cast returned to WWE on August 3rd in Iowa, then I'd have to sonress land by attacking Javan Evans.
31:52.048 --> 31:53.529
[SPEAKER_00]: And so did not return with him.
31:55.950 --> 32:12.721
[SPEAKER_00]: And so in Big cast teams in NXT and then on the main roster, there were the most popular tag team in all of WWE in NXT and when they got to the main roster on the main roster, their entrance and their just presentation was the most popular act in the entire company.
32:14.196 --> 32:21.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Big cast and turned on Enzo in 2017 because Vince McMahon wanted to push big colon Cassidy.
32:23.179 --> 32:37.543
[SPEAKER_00]: When he wasn't ready for it, Enzo went to two or five live to win the Cruiserweight Championship, which was an utter embarrassment for the brand, which nobody really thought was right for two or five live.
32:38.961 --> 32:42.083
[SPEAKER_00]: At that time, also, Enzo had a lot of backstage heat.
32:42.463 --> 32:43.784
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't really know what to do with him.
32:44.144 --> 32:48.767
[SPEAKER_00]: So instead of cutting their losses in wasting Enzo, they figured let's put him on two or five live.
32:48.787 --> 32:51.989
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if he could swim over onto a five live.
32:54.931 --> 32:57.552
[SPEAKER_00]: That's unclear what WWE plans to do with Enzo.
32:58.993 --> 33:00.995
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know if they're gonna pair Enzo and Cass again.
33:01.015 --> 33:02.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, big Cass is,
33:04.017 --> 33:09.278
[SPEAKER_00]: in a soft partnership with Ethan Page as he battles the luches on Monday and out raw.
33:10.118 --> 33:11.138
[SPEAKER_00]: He's working as a heel.
33:11.819 --> 33:13.099
[SPEAKER_00]: He could turn baby face.
33:13.279 --> 33:14.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not out of the wrong with possibility.
33:15.519 --> 33:18.540
[SPEAKER_00]: They could bring in so when is a heel to work alongside big casts.
33:18.680 --> 33:24.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how well that'll work, but I mean, treasure things have happened or end so it could be a solo act.
33:24.901 --> 33:29.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Get his feet wet in an X thing and get called up to the main roster like Mike Santana didn't three or four months.
33:34.268 --> 33:39.772
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one thing that people pitched is Enzo coming in to be big castes manager on the main roster.
33:41.473 --> 33:43.554
[SPEAKER_00]: With WWE bringing big cast.
33:44.975 --> 33:52.901
[SPEAKER_00]: Operate him as a solo and then bring in Enzo to be his manager is that really using the talents wisely of Enzo more.
33:54.682 --> 33:55.783
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really sure about that.
33:56.023 --> 33:58.325
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's got the microphone skills to be a manager.
33:59.486 --> 34:01.307
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the microphone skills to get heat.
34:03.222 --> 34:05.283
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be weird seeing him operate as a heel.
34:06.403 --> 34:13.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I think someone like that coming back and doing the old stick is money being left on the table to be quite honest with you.
34:14.486 --> 34:17.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Money is to be made with big cast and end zone was a tag team.
34:17.988 --> 34:20.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you get into the discussion about where is the tag team division?
34:21.369 --> 34:24.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it would be best if end zone, manage big cast.
34:25.230 --> 34:27.471
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they're a tag team, where are they going?
34:27.711 --> 34:28.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are they working with?
34:28.932 --> 34:31.973
[SPEAKER_00]: The tag team division in WWE is other dog shit.
34:33.171 --> 34:34.912
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't even call it a fucking division.
34:34.993 --> 34:38.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more like a fucking absolute wasteland.
34:39.977 --> 34:41.278
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a dumpster fire.
34:43.199 --> 34:45.261
[SPEAKER_00]: I could probably count on one hand.
34:45.301 --> 34:47.182
[SPEAKER_00]: How many fucking teams are in bulk divisions?
34:50.285 --> 34:54.688
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll take a couple of seconds to even think about who the fucking tank team champions are on bulk shows.
34:55.229 --> 34:56.590
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how insignificant they are.
34:59.189 --> 35:00.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know what you guys think about that.
35:00.790 --> 35:03.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you think Enzo fits in best?
35:04.392 --> 35:05.613
[SPEAKER_00]: Where does Enzo fit in best?
35:08.515 --> 35:11.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe WWE wants to test zero.
35:11.277 --> 35:16.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, zero, Kibba in the chat says, I think WWE wants to test the waters with him in NXT first.
35:16.780 --> 35:19.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the best thing to do, honestly.
35:21.043 --> 35:22.484
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the better options to do.
35:22.844 --> 35:27.647
[SPEAKER_00]: That crowd, they'll let you know if they don't like you and they'll let you know if they do.
35:28.818 --> 35:31.019
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think ends up will be embraced, no matter what.
35:31.839 --> 35:32.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Enough time has passed.
35:33.140 --> 35:34.180
[SPEAKER_00]: He was proven innocent.
35:34.260 --> 35:40.282
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the smart people will certainly get on board in understanding that.
35:43.223 --> 35:44.504
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting into this show tonight.
35:46.444 --> 35:49.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Start things off at the top.
35:52.586 --> 35:56.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Chad Gable, right Phoenix, and Dragon Lee against vanity project.
35:59.153 --> 36:01.314
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Ricky smokes out there.
36:02.414 --> 36:05.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Brad Baylor and Jackson Drake.
36:07.616 --> 36:09.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a big fan of Vanity Project, man.
36:10.077 --> 36:10.617
[SPEAKER_00]: I really am.
36:10.677 --> 36:17.459
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really get the lockwood pairing.
36:19.260 --> 36:22.801
[SPEAKER_00]: She's from WWE LFG.
36:23.722 --> 36:27.123
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she was one of the undertakers students on the show.
36:28.138 --> 36:31.260
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really get what she brings to the table there.
36:31.520 --> 36:34.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you guys want to fill me in on why she's there?
36:36.903 --> 36:37.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is she?
36:37.563 --> 36:38.584
[SPEAKER_00]: What is she doing there?
36:38.704 --> 36:41.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Is she a integral part of the act?
36:43.266 --> 36:43.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is she?
36:46.868 --> 36:48.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Lockwood is her name.
36:51.090 --> 36:56.653
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if they really want to make the stereotypical vanity project,
36:59.359 --> 36:59.699
[SPEAKER_00]: work.
37:00.679 --> 37:06.741
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess adding someone like that, kind of, uh, seals the deal on.
37:07.842 --> 37:11.623
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it's like these, uh, what do they call them?
37:11.743 --> 37:13.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, smaxing streamers?
37:14.764 --> 37:19.665
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that fucking guy that that pretty boy, uh, government plant, whatever the fuck is name is.
37:19.905 --> 37:22.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Klovacular or whatever the fuck is name is.
37:23.106 --> 37:24.287
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in real life streamers.
37:24.807 --> 37:25.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He hooks up with
37:28.769 --> 37:32.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single night he's having a fucking rave in a party a pool party here.
37:32.231 --> 37:35.492
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a fucking club over there He's doing drugs over here.
37:35.532 --> 37:40.355
[SPEAKER_00]: He's fucking drinking alcohol and getting completely plastered off a fucking my tie over here.
37:41.155 --> 37:43.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what the whole the whole vibe is here?
37:44.837 --> 37:45.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that is that it?
37:46.278 --> 37:48.039
[SPEAKER_00]: I get that she's an enforcer, but what?
37:49.279 --> 37:51.861
[SPEAKER_00]: What is like does she wrestle?
37:53.121 --> 37:54.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, she just muscle
37:56.787 --> 38:00.328
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess it works because it's so against what the vanity project really is.
38:00.368 --> 38:04.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're three pretty boys in the you got her standing there.
38:05.649 --> 38:08.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming that's the whole of the whole thing about this act.
38:12.431 --> 38:13.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Nick Wayne.
38:13.331 --> 38:15.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Wayne is now a kick streamer.
38:15.211 --> 38:17.772
[SPEAKER_00]: His new, his new gimmick is like he's a kick streamer.
38:17.832 --> 38:20.673
[SPEAKER_00]: He's out there doing, uh, clavacular things, right?
38:21.693 --> 38:21.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
38:23.632 --> 38:29.058
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE's creative is such in the fucking mud that they're now ripping off fucking looks maxing streamers.
38:30.519 --> 38:31.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Colombe Shocked.
38:34.503 --> 38:35.925
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got this six man tag.
38:35.945 --> 38:41.070
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the very definition of what you're going to get with the Johnson and Classic.
38:42.711 --> 38:44.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Three machines versus three upcoming
38:45.653 --> 38:47.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Studds on the NXT roster.
38:47.575 --> 38:49.297
[SPEAKER_00]: My value project is very good.
38:49.317 --> 38:53.101
[SPEAKER_00]: May I take team champions and then you got the North American champion there.
38:53.902 --> 38:54.843
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got all the gold.
38:56.204 --> 38:56.945
[SPEAKER_00]: They got all the gold.
38:58.535 --> 39:07.937
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jackson Drake and Chad Gable started, Gable quickly takes out Drake, he fires back those Drake with some elbows, got in Gable's face, shoved him down to the mat.
39:08.458 --> 39:13.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable just lost the intercontinental championship on Monday, he's back in Orlando on Wednesday.
39:13.619 --> 39:17.400
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the Kinesia tape, so we still sell on the shoulder, and the neck.
39:19.590 --> 39:20.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody else gets involved.
39:20.891 --> 39:40.461
[SPEAKER_00]: They dump each other to the floor and then they go back into the ring and all six guys have a stare down Balor and smokes pulled drag and lead out of the ring Ray Finix took both of them down on the big high cross body off the top rope to the floor and we go into a commercial break Jackson Drake and Ricky smokes
39:41.892 --> 40:06.103
[SPEAKER_00]: isolated phoenix down here I mean rumors right now I don't really metal on these people's personal lies but I did see a picture I do believe that so ruka is no longer with Tyler bait I believe so ruka is now with Ricky smokes Ricky smokes probably got some some game huh good for him he's living life man
40:07.951 --> 40:11.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Champion on NXT and then he's got Soul Rooket to go home to what a guy.
40:13.476 --> 40:20.101
[SPEAKER_00]: So Ricky smokes, Baylor tags out to smokes, helps end Gable crashing down on the spine buster.
40:21.603 --> 40:28.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Drake hit a springboard moonsault landing with both feet on Gable's chest, which look fucking great.
40:29.049 --> 40:31.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Super athletic is Jackson Drake.
40:33.112 --> 40:33.433
[SPEAKER_00]: Captain
40:36.267 --> 40:50.799
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Baylor tagged in, we get a backstage for whatever reason they show Mike Santana talking to Mike Chandler, who is the official for that match with the on Linux.
40:50.999 --> 40:55.663
[SPEAKER_00]: We get a little picture and picture split screen with them talking in the back while the action's happening in the ring.
40:56.930 --> 40:57.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Baylor tags in.
40:58.631 --> 41:01.332
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable hits a double underhook belly to belly, soup, Lexine.
41:01.352 --> 41:04.433
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called Baylor with a kick off the top rope from your fall.
41:05.113 --> 41:08.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Baylor comes back answers with a shoulderbreaker to Chad Gable.
41:08.255 --> 41:09.275
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable then comes back.
41:09.315 --> 41:12.877
[SPEAKER_00]: Soup Lex is Ricky smokes into Baylor on the ropes.
41:13.437 --> 41:15.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Lee pulled Baylor down.
41:16.158 --> 41:18.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Match breaks into chaos here.
41:18.459 --> 41:20.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable lock Drake in the ankle lock.
41:21.401 --> 41:33.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Lee hit Baylor with a sidewalk slam and Ray Phoenix put Ricky smokes in a torture rack for the win lead covered for the pin.
41:33.648 --> 41:35.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable Phoenix and Dragon Lee get the victory.
41:37.630 --> 41:38.511
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was basically it.
41:38.531 --> 41:39.431
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a fun match.
41:39.571 --> 41:43.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, this is exactly what you're going to see with the Johnson classic.
41:46.987 --> 41:51.831
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if John Cena is going to choose one of those guys to be in the John Cena classic.
41:51.911 --> 41:54.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be shocked if one of them does not make it in there.
41:55.114 --> 41:56.355
[SPEAKER_00]: There are three studs, man.
41:56.836 --> 42:01.160
[SPEAKER_00]: And to be honest with you, man, to see them rise to where they are on NXT.
42:01.180 --> 42:10.308
[SPEAKER_00]: They were on, I don't know if they were on LFG, but they start off and evolve as relative unknowns with this cheesy gimmick.
42:11.338 --> 42:12.558
[SPEAKER_00]: And you see where they are now.
42:12.598 --> 42:17.560
[SPEAKER_00]: You see how the process is working very clearly with the vanity project.
42:19.100 --> 42:19.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.
42:19.581 --> 42:20.921
[SPEAKER_00]: I like all three of those guys, man.
42:21.001 --> 42:22.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Big things in store for those guys.
42:23.442 --> 42:28.323
[SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately, they wrestle three machines in Gable Lee and Phoenix.
42:29.123 --> 42:31.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Laws here, fun six man tag to open this show.
42:34.345 --> 42:34.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Backstage.
42:35.665 --> 42:40.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Punk was seen chatting with Shilohill, who was on LFG.
42:42.498 --> 42:44.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched some of Halloween havoc.
42:44.459 --> 42:46.320
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a deplorable program.
42:47.360 --> 42:48.621
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't fun at all.
42:49.622 --> 42:50.622
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd family over.
42:50.762 --> 42:54.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I snuck away just simply to watch Zilla Fattu, Russell Charlie, Dempsey.
42:54.904 --> 42:56.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really care about anything else.
42:57.185 --> 42:59.987
[SPEAKER_00]: So I waited till they wrestled and then after that I shut it off.
43:00.728 --> 43:18.912
[SPEAKER_00]: But I did see some of Shilohill and Naraku and they speak yellow mist in each other's face and then they got teleported to some fucking cheesy fun house where Dave Meltzer said that both Naraku and Shilohill and whatever they did on that Halloween have a grew in the
43:30.876 --> 43:54.882
[SPEAKER_00]: it wasn't a good show at the start and by the end of it nobody was saying it was a good show when it was over no but let's blame Shilo Hill and Noraku so Sam punk was talking about the yellow mist I don't want to be spit with yellow mist red mist blue mist green mist Shilo Hill was talking about he didn't know how dangerous the yellow mist was
43:58.002 --> 44:05.789
[SPEAKER_00]: So Shailah, who's telling them that he's looked up to him, he's kind of modeled his career after him, he finds influence in him.
44:08.832 --> 44:10.393
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says, go and be Grayson Wall.
44:10.413 --> 44:11.874
[SPEAKER_00]: When you do, I want the first shot.
44:12.455 --> 44:21.123
[SPEAKER_00]: So seeing a punk is being nice to him, saying that Shailah, who has got a good future, bright future, he's like, I guess he called him some sort of crazy.
44:22.085 --> 44:24.125
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're crazy, man, you're kind of special.
44:24.846 --> 44:27.326
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he's like, God, I think we can make some money.
44:28.026 --> 44:33.987
[SPEAKER_00]: In walks, grace and water, he welcomed him to NXT.
44:35.068 --> 44:38.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says, bro, you're challenged in the wrong champion.
44:39.449 --> 44:40.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm not losing this.
44:41.489 --> 44:43.950
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way I'm leaving this building without this championship.
44:45.990 --> 44:46.570
[SPEAKER_00]: So he leaves.
44:47.490 --> 44:48.611
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, this is his house.
44:53.233 --> 44:55.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Tim Punk says, yeah, I'm going to wipe my feet all over your face.
44:59.678 --> 45:00.399
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, he joined.
45:02.040 --> 45:03.801
[SPEAKER_00]: She went one on one with a mystery opponent.
45:04.762 --> 45:06.784
[SPEAKER_00]: A mystery opponent ended up being paid.
45:08.425 --> 45:13.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Page, this was her first NXT appearance in over 10 years.
45:15.370 --> 45:18.113
[SPEAKER_00]: Page has won the NXT Women's Championship.
45:18.900 --> 45:22.442
[SPEAKER_00]: You all know what happened to that championship back in 2013.
45:23.182 --> 45:27.505
[SPEAKER_00]: First time page has been back in NXT in well over a decade.
45:28.305 --> 45:31.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hearing rumors that Colony May and the Wrestling EO.
45:31.287 --> 45:34.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Now if they wanted to go with the match, that would have been much better.
45:34.489 --> 45:36.089
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have been EO and Colony Jordan.
45:36.109 --> 45:37.570
[SPEAKER_00]: That would have fucking been great.
45:37.950 --> 45:38.731
[SPEAKER_00]: It's given the time.
45:40.109 --> 45:42.911
[SPEAKER_00]: what they chose page, I could see why they chose page.
45:43.151 --> 45:44.512
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got history in NXT.
45:44.692 --> 45:48.495
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the first time that she's been back here since she's come back to the WWE.
45:48.895 --> 45:50.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is where she was raised.
45:50.256 --> 45:52.058
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where she was born, right?
45:52.338 --> 45:54.920
[SPEAKER_00]: The anti-deva was born in NXT.
45:54.940 --> 45:55.740
[SPEAKER_00]: So it all made sense.
45:56.381 --> 45:58.022
[SPEAKER_00]: It all made sense.
45:58.042 --> 45:59.463
[SPEAKER_00]: The match itself was what I've remained.
45:59.523 --> 46:05.007
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you are not looking at page as she was over 10 years ago.
46:05.796 --> 46:07.197
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not page of 2013.
46:07.237 --> 46:16.624
[SPEAKER_00]: This is page who is, I don't want to say, she's incapable of doing what she did back in the day.
46:17.624 --> 46:19.906
[SPEAKER_00]: But she certainly doesn't wrestle like page of old.
46:21.287 --> 46:22.528
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a hunger.
46:22.828 --> 46:24.529
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a ferocity.
46:24.629 --> 46:29.393
[SPEAKER_00]: There's an intensity that is missing from this current version of page.
46:30.193 --> 46:32.515
[SPEAKER_00]: This current version of page is just there.
46:37.001 --> 46:40.343
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got her role, she fits that role, and that's it.
46:41.363 --> 46:42.604
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not going anywhere else.
46:43.804 --> 46:47.346
[SPEAKER_00]: And WWE doesn't really have any use for her outside of what she's doing now.
46:48.767 --> 46:58.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Getting younger talent over, Blake Monroe on the main roster, Colony Jordan here, really nothing to cry home about.
46:58.612 --> 47:00.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think she's had one good match, and she's been back.
47:00.893 --> 47:02.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything's been very, very forgettable.
47:06.374 --> 47:07.314
[SPEAKER_00]: So the bell rings here.
47:08.115 --> 47:15.037
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, this is another one of those matches that you are going to watch and really get a sense for what the Johnson class is going to be.
47:15.357 --> 47:23.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I don't know if there's going to be women competing in the Johnson and Classic, but if there is, Kalani Jordan should absolutely be a part of that.
47:24.280 --> 47:25.301
[SPEAKER_00]: 100% or Kendall Gray.
47:26.001 --> 47:35.104
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, my choice is Kendall Gray, but absolutely, there should be, I said this on, I said this on TNT last night.
47:36.708 --> 47:48.652
[SPEAKER_00]: If you wanted this thing to really be special, if you wanted the Johnson Eclacic to be special, they should have been qualifying matches made by Cena himself.
47:49.972 --> 47:52.313
[SPEAKER_00]: That takes place across the month of November.
47:53.413 --> 48:04.737
[SPEAKER_00]: And when we get to December 14th, we have four people qualified, a May roster star, and an NXT star, a May roster star, and an NXT star, two and two.
48:05.966 --> 48:19.949
[SPEAKER_00]: And we get two quarter final matches or two semi final matches, which leads to a final match and the voting, whether you want to add the voting or omit the voting, I would have went a little bit more of a traditional route.
48:19.989 --> 48:22.109
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have made this into a tournament.
48:22.910 --> 48:24.810
[SPEAKER_00]: No voting.
48:25.030 --> 48:29.431
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE wanted the voting for whatever reason, just to pedal the WWE club app.
48:30.731 --> 48:34.072
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have had two semi final matches after a series of qualifying matches,
48:35.089 --> 48:41.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Three men's matches, which is two quarter finals in one final, and then the same thing for the women.
48:41.911 --> 48:43.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Two semi-final matches and one final.
48:44.671 --> 48:48.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Three men's matches, three women's matches across a three-hour raw.
48:48.912 --> 48:50.673
[SPEAKER_00]: More than doable.
48:52.273 --> 48:56.514
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have given the television shows leading up a little bit more of an important feel.
48:57.465 --> 49:13.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Qualifying matches for the Johnson and classic a mix of NXT and May roster stars only time of the year you get to see this type of action with NXT mixing it up with the main roster That's the way I would have did it The simple approach is the best approach.
49:14.317 --> 49:24.625
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't we got any idea what this is going to Do how this is going to work how the voting is going to look what they're voting on are they voting on the winners and losers?
49:24.925 --> 49:26.006
[SPEAKER_00]: Are they voting mid match?
49:27.452 --> 49:29.354
[SPEAKER_00]: Are there going to be categories to vote on?
49:31.035 --> 49:32.937
[SPEAKER_00]: How are people going to cast their vote?
49:34.878 --> 49:42.164
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of questions outside of what this format's going to be, which apparently Joe Tessator, I'll Monday said it's going to be a bunch of matches and fans will vote.
49:44.586 --> 49:48.650
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to go into a little bit more detail about what this is going to mean.
49:49.845 --> 49:57.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Colonial Jordan page is going to be basically what you get out of the Johnson of Classic, we just don't know if there's going to be women involved in this thing yet.
49:57.610 --> 50:14.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Bell rang, Jordan cut page off with a low cross body, page comes back to head bots, big knees, she sent colony to the outside, wiped her out with a big cannonball off the apron at rolling sent on that she does off the apron that looks very weak.
50:15.641 --> 50:16.642
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to a commercial.
50:17.855 --> 50:23.097
[SPEAKER_00]: Clawney fires some of these right back at page in her face page turns it around.
50:23.137 --> 50:27.338
[SPEAKER_00]: They trade four arms pages a double untohook suplex page.
50:27.478 --> 50:46.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Turner goes for eight near fall, Jordan kicked out roll to the apron page pulled Jordan back into a roll up Jordan escaped and locked in a cross face Jordan went for the one of a kind split like it moonsault that she clearly found influence from RVD.
50:47.487 --> 50:48.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Paige got her knees up.
50:49.469 --> 50:53.532
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, I don't know if she got her knees up, but if she did she missed.
50:54.673 --> 50:57.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Paige got her knees up, set up for the rampage.
50:58.316 --> 51:01.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan counted that into a roll up, very anti-climactic victory.
51:02.038 --> 51:08.444
[SPEAKER_00]: It went from rampage, roll up, one, two, three, and page in typical page fashion looks there.
51:09.004 --> 51:09.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Shocked.
51:10.925 --> 51:12.367
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe I lost.
51:17.224 --> 51:21.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Kalani Jordan wins, and she's still the NXT women's champion.
51:24.688 --> 51:25.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for coming, I guess.
51:28.590 --> 51:29.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Backstage.
51:30.551 --> 51:36.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Sol Ruka, Ren Sinclair, Kendall Gray and Izzy Dame are all talking in the backstage.
51:37.595 --> 51:38.736
[SPEAKER_00]: It's nice to see Sol Ruka.
51:38.776 --> 51:40.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad to see that she's still alive.
51:41.057 --> 51:42.338
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't seen her on the main roster.
51:42.358 --> 51:44.699
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't seen her on Raw since money in the bank.
51:45.479 --> 51:46.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing with Old Bethemi.
51:48.038 --> 51:51.821
[SPEAKER_00]: So Rooka stopped by the locker room and gave Rensen Claire and Kendall Gray a pep talk.
51:53.682 --> 51:55.463
[SPEAKER_00]: They wanted to know why she was there.
51:55.544 --> 52:01.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently, so Rooka said, Zarya, X starts to come for a chat, yet we didn't see Zarya on this show.
52:01.708 --> 52:02.368
[SPEAKER_00]: What's so ever?
52:02.849 --> 52:04.250
[SPEAKER_00]: No where to be found was Ari.
52:06.131 --> 52:09.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Gray said Jordan will lose the belts sooner than later.
52:10.895 --> 52:13.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Or the belt sooner than later.
52:14.798 --> 52:16.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Rensen Claire, X, what brought Ruka?
52:17.673 --> 52:44.494
[SPEAKER_00]: to NXT on, Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, she said, sorry, extra to come, but no, Zarya, is he Dame walks in and said it was actually her who texted Zarya's former friend, Solruca, which led to a back and forth between is he Damon, Rensen Claire, and that match was set up
52:47.903 --> 52:56.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he named by the way, beat Zarya in an on-title match at Halloween Havix, or Missuming wool, be getting that North American women's championship match relatively soon.
52:58.553 --> 53:04.018
[SPEAKER_00]: When we're, I don't know, let me save it for the next paper of you.
53:04.318 --> 53:07.020
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE Dusty Rhodes, tag team classic.
53:08.462 --> 53:12.946
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the finals of the Dusty Rhodes tag team classic.
53:14.545 --> 53:20.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we have the tournament taking place.
53:21.727 --> 53:25.969
[SPEAKER_00]: There were a bunch of matches here.
53:25.989 --> 53:29.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there were a lot of teams in this from multiple promotions.
53:29.210 --> 53:34.231
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there was AAA teams, May roster teams, and NXT teams.
53:34.911 --> 53:36.632
[SPEAKER_00]: They really wanted to fill this thing out.
53:37.577 --> 53:43.380
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna look, because I didn't do my due diligence and pull up the dusty classic.
53:43.520 --> 53:51.524
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanna look up the dusty classic and what the matches were this year.
53:54.030 --> 54:11.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what the matches were this year because I said on TNT last night that the tournament was not anything close to what we were we're getting back in the day during the good
54:22.048 --> 54:47.374
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... the classic was announced on September 15th it began on September 22nd fourteen teams from raw smacked down nxd any valve as well as lucha underground so that was yeah that was uh... that was basically what we got here i'm trying to find the brackets give me a second
54:49.467 --> 55:18.530
[SPEAKER_00]: want to see what the tag team let's see the dusty tag team classic brackets this is from ww.com all right here we go uh... so we had as i get an advertisement on ww dot com of course i do so we had your riot counters and stacks who are part of the birthright on nxd uh... they lost too many the kingo and star boy charlie
55:19.883 --> 55:22.644
[SPEAKER_00]: who's Chaz Hall in WWE.
55:24.004 --> 55:25.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I quite like the name Starboy Charlie.
55:26.884 --> 55:29.385
[SPEAKER_00]: He's on Evolve, really, really good high flyer.
55:29.965 --> 55:31.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Fraccium beat Dark State.
55:33.466 --> 55:40.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we had no M-Dar and Romeo Moreno against Los Americanos.
55:41.547 --> 55:44.088
[SPEAKER_00]: And no M-Dar and Romeo advanced.
55:45.028 --> 55:46.028
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got
55:48.640 --> 55:54.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Vanity Project apparently got a buy in the tournament because they had to take team champions.
55:54.122 --> 55:55.102
[SPEAKER_00]: They were in the tournament.
55:56.283 --> 55:59.344
[SPEAKER_00]: So they wrestled many of the can go and star boy Charlie.
55:59.384 --> 56:03.305
[SPEAKER_00]: They beat them and they went to the semi finals.
56:04.025 --> 56:05.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got no M.D.
56:05.126 --> 56:14.429
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo Ramero, Marino beating Fraxium and they went on to wrestle Vanity Project in the finals on the left side of the bracket.
56:15.436 --> 56:17.897
[SPEAKER_00]: where they sell my finals on the left side of the bracket on the other side.
56:18.277 --> 56:23.060
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Tokyo bad boys against Lexus King and Charlie Dempsey.
56:24.420 --> 56:26.421
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're also a part of the birthright as well.
56:26.541 --> 56:28.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Lexus and Charlie got the wind there.
56:30.083 --> 56:35.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Wagner, Jr. and Galenow were misooming are the Triple A tag team champions.
56:35.425 --> 56:36.746
[SPEAKER_00]: So they also got a buy.
56:38.267 --> 56:39.567
[SPEAKER_00]: They went right to the next round.
56:41.008 --> 56:43.089
[SPEAKER_00]: The creed brothers competed in this thing.
56:43.129 --> 56:43.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
56:46.043 --> 56:50.946
[SPEAKER_00]: They be Harley-Riggins and Jack's Presley.
56:53.347 --> 56:55.449
[SPEAKER_00]: No fucking clue who any of those guys are.
56:56.509 --> 57:05.294
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got the win there and then we got Shito Ash and Victor Zanoth against Hank and Tank.
57:07.095 --> 57:09.617
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to the dusty classic is what I'm asking?
57:10.452 --> 57:23.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Hank and tank off the wind and then they beat the creed brothers that Hank and tank they go to the finals on the right side of the semi finals on the right side and then we got Wagner Jr. Angolano beating Lexus K and Charlie Dempsey they go to Russell Hank and tank.
57:24.201 --> 57:26.022
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have family project, no M.D.R.
57:26.062 --> 57:31.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Romeo Moreno, Hank and tank and then Wagner Jr. Angolano.
57:32.116 --> 57:36.758
[SPEAKER_00]: So Hank and Tank, they went over the Shribleite team and then no M.D.
57:36.818 --> 57:42.941
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo Moreno actually beat the tank team champions, vanity project, and they go to the finals.
57:42.961 --> 57:44.621
[SPEAKER_00]: So tonight's finals was no M.D.
57:44.661 --> 57:46.422
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo Moreno against Hank and Tank.
57:47.683 --> 57:49.223
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was this year's Dusty Classic.
57:49.243 --> 57:54.145
[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys are un-un-un-un-used, we're asking who, who?
57:55.206 --> 57:57.927
[SPEAKER_00]: For a lot of those guys, I don't really blame you.
58:00.371 --> 58:02.673
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to the dusty tag team classics?
58:02.693 --> 58:06.535
[SPEAKER_00]: What I want to know, I'm a big fan of Hank and tank man.
58:06.575 --> 58:08.176
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think those guys are great.
58:08.216 --> 58:10.838
[SPEAKER_00]: They are really fun to watch.
58:10.918 --> 58:11.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember match.
58:11.879 --> 58:17.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how long ago they wrestled fraxium at a PLA man.
58:17.163 --> 58:18.083
[SPEAKER_00]: That was fucking great.
58:19.404 --> 58:21.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really great stuff man.
58:21.405 --> 58:25.048
[SPEAKER_00]: I might have been a stand in the letter if I'm not mistaken.
58:26.190 --> 58:53.680
[SPEAKER_00]: really great stuff there uh... hank walker and tank ledger no im door is still employed i was surprised to see that man i don't know what his fucking magic is but he seemingly has survived budget cut after budget cut after budget cut crazy so walker and marina this was my first time getting a glimpse of romio marino man he's pretty fucking talented
58:54.520 --> 58:56.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Kid can move in there.
58:56.902 --> 59:00.965
[SPEAKER_00]: No M. Dars are good technical wrestler, but Romeo was really good, man.
59:01.925 --> 59:04.407
[SPEAKER_00]: For the first time watching him in, I thought he was really good.
59:04.447 --> 59:05.848
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was the MVP of this match.
59:05.868 --> 59:08.430
[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be quite honest with you.
59:08.470 --> 59:09.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Walker and Marino started.
59:09.631 --> 59:10.832
[SPEAKER_00]: They locked up after the bell.
59:10.892 --> 59:15.015
[SPEAKER_00]: No M. And Walker, they get in there.
59:15.075 --> 59:15.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Dark Tugs in.
59:16.396 --> 59:17.817
[SPEAKER_00]: And so does Hank.
59:18.697 --> 59:20.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Dar got a quick penitempt on Hank.
59:21.938 --> 59:22.699
[SPEAKER_00]: and he kicked out.
59:23.340 --> 59:28.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Tank, drag, jar into the middle of the ring and hit a frog splash from the top row.
59:29.507 --> 59:40.180
[SPEAKER_00]: Hank, he looked for a big aerial attack here, but no one in dark called him in a triangle, choke wall, Romeo trapped tank in a commoral lock.
59:41.415 --> 59:55.659
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get Hank powering out with a sit-out power bomb on no M-DAR, and then we get Hank escaping with a vertical suplex, all four are trading blows in the middle of the ring, things break down, and we go into a commercial break.
59:58.960 --> 01:00:03.802
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get Hank sending Romeo over the announced desk, he tags in tank.
01:00:05.080 --> 01:00:09.902
[SPEAKER_00]: They went to double team, no M-DAR, but Romeo stepped in to save no M-DAR.
01:00:10.623 --> 01:00:21.247
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get Hank then with Tank, regrouping, they hit a double neck breaker, followed by a close line and a double spinning kick combination.
01:00:23.808 --> 01:00:31.292
[SPEAKER_00]: In the end of this thing, Romeo with a lot of offense here ended up pinning Tank and no M-DAR
01:00:37.804 --> 01:00:40.135
[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised to see them when they take Team Classic.
01:00:40.216 --> 01:00:42.265
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were absolutely going to give it to Hank and Tank.
01:00:43.245 --> 01:00:44.906
[SPEAKER_00]: But Cody Rhodes came out there.
01:00:45.426 --> 01:00:46.366
[SPEAKER_00]: He got an entrance.
01:00:46.866 --> 01:00:48.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He went to go sit by commentary.
01:00:48.447 --> 01:00:51.588
[SPEAKER_00]: He did color commentary for this match after no M.D.R.
01:00:51.648 --> 01:00:52.588
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo one.
01:00:53.009 --> 01:00:59.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody gets to the Isleway and presents them with the dusty roads tag team classic trophy.
01:01:00.451 --> 01:01:10.835
[SPEAKER_00]: And he told both of them that Robert Stone, who's the GM of NXT, says they will get a shot at the vanity project next week for the NXT tag team championships.
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:16.561
[SPEAKER_00]: So they beat the vanity project in the tournament.
01:01:17.842 --> 01:01:21.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not see them beating the vanity project for the tag team totals.
01:01:22.104 --> 01:01:23.125
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a mistake.
01:01:25.506 --> 01:01:27.187
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is their consolation prize.
01:01:27.207 --> 01:01:28.108
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll give you the tournament.
01:01:29.909 --> 01:01:33.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even think these two guys really look like a tag team to be quite honest with you.
01:01:34.312 --> 01:01:40.035
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, to be fair, we had Ricochet and Malachi black in the fucking dusty tag team classic.
01:01:40.075 --> 01:01:42.397
[SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't really matter, or Alex to black at that point.
01:01:43.365 --> 01:01:44.746
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a mix mash of tag teams.
01:01:45.766 --> 01:01:46.186
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
01:01:47.227 --> 01:01:49.528
[SPEAKER_00]: But these guys in particular didn't look like a tag team.
01:01:50.108 --> 01:01:51.649
[SPEAKER_00]: This is their consolation prize.
01:01:51.689 --> 01:01:55.151
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no way that WWE's going to take the belt off Vanity Project.
01:01:55.891 --> 01:01:59.433
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a huge error, honestly.
01:02:02.894 --> 01:02:03.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana.
01:02:05.716 --> 01:02:10.558
[SPEAKER_00]: The newest member of 946, the former Mike Santana.
01:02:14.386 --> 01:02:23.711
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a feud, these two have been feuding, and this was the blow off to whatever they had going on.
01:02:23.731 --> 01:02:31.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently Santana or Cruz Montana here against Dionlinix, and this all started at Madison Square Garden.
01:02:33.497 --> 01:02:37.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we had Mike Santana teaming with OTM at that point.
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:44.561
[SPEAKER_00]: at the theater of Madison Square Garden.
01:02:45.721 --> 01:02:51.024
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I guess it comes full circle, Mike Santana teaming with OTM, now he's in the group.
01:02:52.184 --> 01:02:53.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's in non-46.
01:02:53.765 --> 01:02:55.126
[SPEAKER_00]: They went against Dark State.
01:02:57.547 --> 01:03:00.388
[SPEAKER_00]: So then he arrives on NXT full time, July 21st.
01:03:01.548 --> 01:03:02.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Those Mike Santana.
01:03:03.929 --> 01:03:06.591
[SPEAKER_00]: So Dark State has a history with dealing on Linux as its leader.
01:03:07.631 --> 01:03:09.452
[SPEAKER_00]: They went back to Target Mike Santana.
01:03:11.263 --> 01:03:13.485
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is their blow-off here.
01:03:14.766 --> 01:03:19.890
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess it all kind of came about from that six-man-take team match at Madison Square Garden.
01:03:20.150 --> 01:03:26.915
[SPEAKER_00]: When Mike Santana wasn't really a part of the NXT roster, he was kind of playing both sides, he was playing TNA, and then he was playing WWE.
01:03:27.315 --> 01:03:32.358
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he got to the NXT brand full-time on July 21st.
01:03:32.398 --> 01:03:35.341
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's when they picked things back up with their feud.
01:03:41.209 --> 01:03:43.110
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was a special official for this match.
01:03:43.950 --> 01:03:51.214
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Michael Chandler, UFC and MMA star, Michael Chandler is the special guest referee here.
01:03:51.795 --> 01:03:56.477
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was basically the Ken Shamrock for this match.
01:03:56.497 --> 01:04:01.240
[SPEAKER_00]: She was basically what Ken Shamrock was for Stone Cold Steve Austin and Breath of Hitman Hart.
01:04:01.740 --> 01:04:03.321
[SPEAKER_00]: At WrestleMania 13 in Chicago.
01:04:05.843 --> 01:04:07.384
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was already in the ring with Chandler.
01:04:08.104 --> 01:04:09.325
[SPEAKER_00]: The Olympics made his entrance.
01:04:10.105 --> 01:04:11.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Dark State is an awful group, by the way.
01:04:12.567 --> 01:04:14.407
[SPEAKER_00]: I always never, a fan of Dark State.
01:04:15.388 --> 01:04:16.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Montana attacked before the bell.
01:04:17.009 --> 01:04:18.950
[SPEAKER_00]: He ran out from the back, he didn't even want an entrance.
01:04:18.970 --> 01:04:19.850
[SPEAKER_00]: He ran out of the attack.
01:04:19.870 --> 01:04:22.072
[SPEAKER_00]: The Olympics right in the Isleway.
01:04:22.972 --> 01:04:24.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Chandler got out there to keep watch.
01:04:25.273 --> 01:04:28.595
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just there to count a pinfall and see for submission.
01:04:28.755 --> 01:04:29.035
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
01:04:30.176 --> 01:04:32.057
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got no other job but that.
01:04:34.031 --> 01:04:41.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Montana, a tech Lennox from behind at the Bell Lennox, scooped him onto his shoulders and sent him into the ring post and then into the steel steps.
01:04:42.293 --> 01:04:47.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana pulled out a table, the slim gym at table, that is from underneath the ring, he set it up outside.
01:04:48.135 --> 01:04:52.576
[SPEAKER_00]: And Lennox drove him spine first into the LED barricade.
01:04:52.996 --> 01:04:54.137
[SPEAKER_00]: That's around the ring side.
01:04:55.017 --> 01:04:57.998
[SPEAKER_00]: And then dumped him onto a pile of steel shares.
01:05:00.063 --> 01:05:01.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana starts fighting back.
01:05:02.344 --> 01:05:13.948
[SPEAKER_00]: He sends D on Lennox through this obvious hard board, slash wooden structure that's by rank side.
01:05:13.968 --> 01:05:17.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, there's the commentary table.
01:05:18.690 --> 01:05:26.413
[SPEAKER_00]: There's the timekeeper's area, and then there's this eagle perch that is at the Performance Center around rank side.
01:05:27.713 --> 01:05:31.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the wrestlers use it to cut a promo or make a special surprise appearance.
01:05:31.495 --> 01:05:32.816
[SPEAKER_00]: It's high above.
01:05:33.116 --> 01:05:34.838
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got to be it's 15, 20 feet up.
01:05:36.158 --> 01:05:46.405
[SPEAKER_00]: But the podium that sits that high, obviously there's a base to it, Mike Santana, overhead tosses, D on Lennox, through this base.
01:05:47.345 --> 01:05:50.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So they tried to make it look cool, it looked ridiculous.
01:05:51.368 --> 01:05:54.250
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked like fucking construction paper.
01:05:55.082 --> 01:05:56.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And it made no impact whatsoever.
01:05:56.583 --> 01:05:59.185
[SPEAKER_00]: He got some of the fucking NXT geeks out there.
01:05:59.265 --> 01:06:01.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, looking all shocked.
01:06:01.646 --> 01:06:03.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh my god, I don't believe that happened.
01:06:06.970 --> 01:06:08.130
[SPEAKER_00]: So he goes out there.
01:06:08.150 --> 01:06:10.572
[SPEAKER_00]: Does Michael Chandler to breathe the check on D on Lennox.
01:06:10.852 --> 01:06:20.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana then sent Lennox into the ring steps and exposed the concrete floor, Montana then dragged him up on the steps, but Chandler stepped in and stopped him.
01:06:21.525 --> 01:06:26.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is he getting involved when his job is to merely count a pin and see for a submission?
01:06:26.889 --> 01:06:30.472
[SPEAKER_00]: He did way too much past the job description.
01:06:32.153 --> 01:06:33.514
[SPEAKER_00]: So we go into a commercial break.
01:06:33.574 --> 01:06:39.659
[SPEAKER_00]: They traded right hands and Montana close line Lennox out of the ring looking to send him onto the exposed concrete.
01:06:40.539 --> 01:06:45.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Dark states, colored James and Osiris Griffin.
01:06:46.104 --> 01:06:48.946
[SPEAKER_00]: They arrived and they beat Chris Montana down.
01:06:50.948 --> 01:07:01.051
[SPEAKER_00]: The lights go out, typical Tony con special here, the lights go out, the lights come back on and they stayed all for about 20 seconds or so, nobody knew what the fuck was going on here.
01:07:01.471 --> 01:07:06.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Lights come back on and Jita Parker is standing at ringside and she's yelling something.
01:07:07.453 --> 01:07:09.414
[SPEAKER_00]: She's yelling something at D on Linux.
01:07:10.494 --> 01:07:16.996
[SPEAKER_00]: The rest of 946 make their way through the crowd, Carmelo Hayes, Bronco, Nima, Lucien
01:07:20.023 --> 01:07:44.104
[SPEAKER_00]: nine four six overwhelmed dark state and destroyed dark state Lucien price sense Butler James through the announced desk cruise Montana power bomb Lennox through a table on the outside that he set up earlier the slim gym table Montana the Rolex into the ring spin the block one two three and that was basically it
01:07:46.878 --> 01:07:49.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Royce keys in the rest of 946 get in the ring.
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:50.821
[SPEAKER_00]: They take one of the steel chairs.
01:07:50.841 --> 01:07:51.801
[SPEAKER_00]: He sets it up in the ring.
01:07:51.821 --> 01:07:52.582
[SPEAKER_00]: There's Royce keys.
01:07:52.622 --> 01:07:55.684
[SPEAKER_00]: He sits in the chair like he has been doing in the center of the ring.
01:07:56.364 --> 01:07:58.746
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana stands above him with the rest of the group.
01:07:58.846 --> 01:08:03.269
[SPEAKER_00]: And they quickly go to the back to show John Cena heading to ring side.
01:08:05.450 --> 01:08:06.391
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess this was the blow.
01:08:06.411 --> 01:08:16.218
[SPEAKER_00]: If you couldn't really have Cruz Montana lose to Deon Lennox here when they just brought Cruz Montana to the main roster and put him in the most dangerous faction on WWE TV
01:08:20.483 --> 01:08:21.485
[SPEAKER_00]: I still like the move.
01:08:21.505 --> 01:08:23.990
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people on J.D.
01:08:24.050 --> 01:08:24.431
[SPEAKER_00]: is a hemogram.
01:08:24.451 --> 01:08:24.891
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:24.911 --> 01:08:25.913
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:25.993 --> 01:08:26.875
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:26.895 --> 01:08:27.637
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:27.657 --> 01:08:28.198
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:28.218 --> 01:08:28.658
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:28.678 --> 01:08:29.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:29.620 --> 01:08:30.201
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:30.221 --> 01:08:30.702
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:30.722 --> 01:08:31.424
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:31.444 --> 01:08:31.884
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:34.055 --> 01:08:43.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you watch my live stream on Monday and you watch my live stream on Tuesday, you would have heard me vividly complain about, well, we just added Jada.
01:08:43.720 --> 01:08:46.142
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Carmelo no explanation.
01:08:46.162 --> 01:08:47.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're writing cruise Montana.
01:08:47.342 --> 01:08:49.103
[SPEAKER_00]: It was from the Bronx with no explanation.
01:08:49.684 --> 01:08:52.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It's at a point where you need to give me the why.
01:08:53.786 --> 01:08:56.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's no better person to explain that to us than cruise Montana.
01:08:59.329 --> 01:09:01.550
[SPEAKER_00]: I still find it very weird to call him cruise Montana.
01:09:01.570 --> 01:09:02.811
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to say Mike Santana.
01:09:04.939 --> 01:09:06.541
[SPEAKER_00]: the new to new day.
01:09:07.462 --> 01:09:08.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is.
01:09:09.225 --> 01:09:11.388
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a new a new chapter of his career.
01:09:12.509 --> 01:09:16.915
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a fucking stud and for all the people claiming, oh, he's overrated, J.D.
01:09:16.955 --> 01:09:21.301
[SPEAKER_00]: hype some up because he worked for House of Glory and all this other bullshit fuck off.
01:09:23.138 --> 01:09:29.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I always support people that support me and Mike Santana and what he's been through.
01:09:29.701 --> 01:09:32.842
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had a word here and a word there with me in Jason.
01:09:33.242 --> 01:09:42.266
[SPEAKER_00]: He has he's someone that has had our support from day one and will continue to have his support or our support.
01:09:42.286 --> 01:09:44.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll continue to have our support.
01:09:47.408 --> 01:09:48.988
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a game changer for nine four six.
01:09:49.008 --> 01:09:50.469
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to do great things on my roster.
01:09:53.488 --> 01:09:54.369
[SPEAKER_00]: can't wait to see what he does.
01:09:56.490 --> 01:09:57.730
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena and Zilla Fattu.
01:10:00.112 --> 01:10:01.212
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this earlier.
01:10:01.232 --> 01:10:03.534
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason to kind of harp on this.
01:10:03.774 --> 01:10:07.736
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena named Zilla Fattu as the second invite to.
01:10:08.477 --> 01:10:10.138
[SPEAKER_00]: We got fucking Jean Wilde out there.
01:10:10.158 --> 01:10:17.262
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena handing away fucking John Cena classic candy bars who gets the golden ticket to the John Cena classic.
01:10:17.342 --> 01:10:18.522
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Zilla Fattu's time.
01:10:23.458 --> 01:10:24.178
[SPEAKER_00]: creativity.
01:10:25.238 --> 01:10:25.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Potential.
01:10:27.839 --> 01:10:37.741
[SPEAKER_00]: And he breaks into a little dance as the crowd is chanting for John Cena that they came up with a new John Cena chant here in Orlando.
01:10:38.121 --> 01:10:38.901
[SPEAKER_00]: So we started dancing.
01:10:38.921 --> 01:10:41.182
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, well, you guys may be on to something there.
01:10:44.262 --> 01:10:46.383
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, it's opportunity to see his in any announced.
01:10:47.263 --> 01:10:48.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla Fato.
01:10:53.567 --> 01:11:03.715
[SPEAKER_00]: He paid tribute to Zilla's father, Umaga, who if you want to go back and John seeing this career, John Cena's rivalries is some great ones.
01:11:04.175 --> 01:11:10.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Adam Copeland, Edge, CM Punk, probably top two at the list at the top two on the top of John Cena's list.
01:11:10.860 --> 01:11:17.465
[SPEAKER_00]: CM Punk number one, Edge is number two, AJ Styles, Randy what you got to include, Randy wasn't for all the matches they've had.
01:11:19.114 --> 01:11:28.541
[SPEAKER_00]: I would absolutely include Umanga, or like William Regal used to say, and still says, Umanga, Umaga and John Cena had classic matches.
01:11:29.662 --> 01:11:33.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I would absolutely put Umaga on the list of greatest John Cena rivals.
01:11:35.026 --> 01:11:40.590
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, when we get to Royal Rumble season, that is absolutely going to be one of the matches we go back and relive on Patreon.
01:11:42.212 --> 01:11:42.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Coming up soon.
01:11:47.277 --> 01:11:49.338
[SPEAKER_00]: He went over the family, tribute to Umaga.
01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:53.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Cena says he's honored to give Zilla this opportunity to debut in the classic.
01:11:54.282 --> 01:11:55.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla got emotional.
01:11:56.324 --> 01:12:01.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Took him a little bit to actually say something because when Cena mentioned this father, he got really emotional.
01:12:02.668 --> 01:12:03.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla thanked him.
01:12:04.289 --> 01:12:08.372
[SPEAKER_00]: He expressed appreciation for the relationship with Cena and his family.
01:12:10.133 --> 01:12:11.294
[SPEAKER_00]: They embraced, they hugged.
01:12:12.475 --> 01:12:15.717
[SPEAKER_00]: We'd love to be the fly on the wall and we'd love to know what John Cena told Zilla
01:12:18.748 --> 01:12:19.208
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's it.
01:12:20.570 --> 01:12:32.461
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be very difficult to vote against Elifatu when you know who he is and what he's about and when you see him work, it's going to be very difficult not to vote for Elifatu to win the Johnson class.
01:12:33.802 --> 01:12:41.270
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see who else is involved that there's going to be an olbofemi or brown breaker or anybody like that on the mayor roster.
01:12:41.970 --> 01:12:43.732
[SPEAKER_00]: How are these matches going to be determined?
01:12:45.620 --> 01:12:46.600
[SPEAKER_00]: Not by the voting.
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:49.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean by the voting, but how are these matches going to be conceived?
01:12:50.682 --> 01:12:54.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Our club WWE going to vote when we have all the invite teas.
01:12:54.363 --> 01:13:00.305
[SPEAKER_00]: This club WWE going to vote for the matches that takes place or is WWE going to be the ones and charge that.
01:13:01.565 --> 01:13:07.227
[SPEAKER_00]: This code you're going to wrestle Zilla being that Cody's got familiarity and history with Zilla's family.
01:13:09.287 --> 01:13:10.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is Zilla going to wrestle?
01:13:10.388 --> 01:13:11.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's Cody going to wrestle?
01:13:15.884 --> 01:13:16.804
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a little aspect.
01:13:16.824 --> 01:13:28.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the question that we don't really have an answer to is still an absolutely before this thing was even announced and we knew the bare bones concept of what this was going to be.
01:13:28.230 --> 01:13:36.313
[SPEAKER_00]: As soon as we saw Zilla fought to debut in NXT, we all knew that Zilla fought to was going to be a part of this thing and I can't wait to see what he does.
01:13:36.433 --> 01:13:40.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Him on Monday, not Rawman, get excited, get excited.
01:13:40.935 --> 01:13:42.876
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your first time watching Zilla get excited.
01:13:47.025 --> 01:14:08.457
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena walked to the back and he got confronted by Kim Hendrix, another LFG clown, who's got a terrible gimmick, Kim Hendrix assumed he'd be in the John Cena classic and he wanted to know who he'd be wrestling, seeing it told him, instead of focusing on the
01:14:10.070 --> 01:14:13.991
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you think you're good, you're going to explain to everybody that you're good.
01:14:14.131 --> 01:14:18.333
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're great, they'll let you know that you're great.
01:14:18.413 --> 01:14:23.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen a berry this kid bigger than anybody could ever bury him at this stage of his career.
01:14:24.375 --> 01:14:28.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Without one, told them to get ready for E.K.
01:14:28.677 --> 01:14:29.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Prasper next week.
01:14:38.807 --> 01:14:47.234
[SPEAKER_00]: No story about this whatsoever, the only thing that I could really say here is that Grayson Wallace has some choice words for CM Punk.
01:14:48.278 --> 01:14:54.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Calling him a hypocrite and a fraud, and he's had some choice words to punk across the last several months.
01:14:55.363 --> 01:15:07.812
[SPEAKER_00]: And then at the end of Halloween, have it when Grayson Waller beat Tony DeAngelo to retain the NXT championship, see him punk basically shut up on the big screen and said, you claim that NXT is your house.
01:15:08.312 --> 01:15:14.297
[SPEAKER_00]: That's funny because I'm the landlord and come Wednesday, the rent is due.
01:15:16.695 --> 01:15:18.096
[SPEAKER_00]: basically what it boils down to.
01:15:18.877 --> 01:15:24.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Some choice words from grace and water to CM Punk, CM Punk didn't really say anything to grace and walled because why should he doesn't work at NXT.
01:15:25.002 --> 01:15:29.906
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot to worry about on the mayor roster, but he had time this week.
01:15:30.967 --> 01:15:31.988
[SPEAKER_00]: He had time this week.
01:15:32.008 --> 01:15:34.390
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, you know what, blood and guts is happening on Wednesday.
01:15:34.410 --> 01:15:36.432
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys are moving at NXT to Wednesday.
01:15:36.792 --> 01:15:41.476
[SPEAKER_00]: How about I go against my former boss on Wednesday night in the made of that put me in there with grace and waller.
01:15:42.257 --> 01:15:42.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom.
01:15:45.228 --> 01:15:50.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Earlier in the day, there was a Twitter clip that I saw this on Twitter.
01:15:50.350 --> 01:15:52.010
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I went all over WWE socials.
01:15:52.950 --> 01:15:56.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Owens was at the WWE performance center earlier in the day.
01:15:57.992 --> 01:16:00.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, he was sitting in the medical office of the performance center.
01:16:01.013 --> 01:16:05.174
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was being attended to by one of the personnel there on the medical staff.
01:16:06.194 --> 01:16:09.875
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he was there to get something checked out, a shoulder checked out.
01:16:10.536 --> 01:16:11.696
[SPEAKER_00]: He was there to get checked out.
01:16:15.609 --> 01:16:16.970
[SPEAKER_00]: or a pick today to get checked out.
01:16:18.191 --> 01:16:24.496
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean Michaels is there and Kevin Owens is filming this on his cell phone and Sean Michaels is saying.
01:16:25.517 --> 01:16:29.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, I know you're getting checked out, but you could have got checked out any day of the week.
01:16:29.560 --> 01:16:31.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you pick Wednesday?
01:16:31.602 --> 01:16:38.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you pick today of all the days to get checked out when you know that seeing punk is in the building?
01:16:39.549 --> 01:16:40.369
[SPEAKER_00]: Can do this yesterday?
01:16:41.550 --> 01:16:42.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Can do this on Thursday.
01:16:42.551 --> 01:16:43.192
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta do it today.
01:16:44.091 --> 01:16:58.797
[SPEAKER_00]: So Sean Michaels knew why he was there, and he wanted to put a stop to Kevin Owens doing what he thought Kevin Owens would do, so at least they set the table for how this match was going to end earlier in the day on social media.
01:17:00.678 --> 01:17:01.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Mitch was fine.
01:17:02.923 --> 01:17:20.354
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I'm not going to put this on the list of great CM Punk matches when we calculate CM Punk matches at the end of the year, or during Punks, WW, we were turned over the last two years, three years, it's not going to be one of the matches that I look back at as it.
01:17:20.374 --> 01:17:21.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, this was a punk classic.
01:17:23.236 --> 01:17:30.701
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a match on a show that counter programmed AEW and they wanted to use their biggest guns available.
01:17:33.645 --> 01:17:35.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Punk was never going to win the NXT Championship.
01:17:36.386 --> 01:17:42.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Owens was always going to interfere here to cost him the championship, so they add heat to their match on Friday.
01:17:43.309 --> 01:17:45.509
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's no reason to take the belt off Grayson Waller.
01:17:45.549 --> 01:17:47.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you beat Grayson Waller?
01:17:48.831 --> 01:17:52.132
[SPEAKER_00]: What does that do for Grayson Waller if he loses to see him punk?
01:17:53.001 --> 01:18:05.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Normally we talk about a loss burying somebody or a loss if it's good enough and if there's story there and there's meat on the bone there, a loss could benefit somebody and they look good and defeat.
01:18:06.788 --> 01:18:07.368
[SPEAKER_00]: That happens.
01:18:08.469 --> 01:18:09.870
[SPEAKER_00]: This was not one of those instances.
01:18:11.431 --> 01:18:12.251
[SPEAKER_00]: You cannot bury
01:18:17.055 --> 01:18:18.395
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm a big grace and wall a guy.
01:18:18.815 --> 01:18:19.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his attitude.
01:18:20.036 --> 01:18:20.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his promo work.
01:18:21.336 --> 01:18:22.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's very good in the ring.
01:18:22.996 --> 01:18:24.677
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's a right heel.
01:18:24.737 --> 01:18:25.837
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a good heel.
01:18:25.877 --> 01:18:28.418
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets the proper heat.
01:18:28.978 --> 01:18:36.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you see he and it's manufactured, or it's something that doesn't come across genuine.
01:18:36.740 --> 01:18:40.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Or the guy trying to get he is forcing something, and it's just not there.
01:18:41.281 --> 01:18:43.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Grace and Walla has no problem getting heat.
01:18:43.582 --> 01:18:44.442
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows what to say.
01:18:44.502 --> 01:18:45.382
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very witty.
01:18:46.587 --> 01:18:50.989
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great promo and he knows how to push the right buttons in the right order.
01:18:52.170 --> 01:18:53.411
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a big racing wall guy.
01:18:54.751 --> 01:18:56.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Racing wall are wasted away on the main roster.
01:18:56.813 --> 01:18:59.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Ted team with Austin Theory went nowhere.
01:18:59.894 --> 01:19:00.655
[SPEAKER_00]: They broke them up.
01:19:01.055 --> 01:19:03.896
[SPEAKER_00]: It took them almost a full calendar year to break them up.
01:19:04.157 --> 01:19:08.319
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they broke up, it happened because Austin Theory got hurt.
01:19:09.132 --> 01:19:10.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Grayson Waller then moved on to the new day.
01:19:11.033 --> 01:19:11.513
[SPEAKER_00]: He was big.
01:19:11.553 --> 01:19:12.873
[SPEAKER_00]: He's replacement in the new days.
01:19:12.893 --> 01:19:19.315
[SPEAKER_00]: The new day also suffered creatively after turning heel and having a tremendous heel turn, the follow up to that was nothing.
01:19:20.956 --> 01:19:23.917
[SPEAKER_00]: They added Grayson Waller to the group and it didn't really even make any sense.
01:19:23.937 --> 01:19:24.817
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't make an impact.
01:19:24.837 --> 01:19:25.458
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't fit.
01:19:26.058 --> 01:19:27.018
[SPEAKER_00]: It was all comedy.
01:19:27.038 --> 01:19:31.980
[SPEAKER_00]: They were used as in between commercial breaks on Netflix.
01:19:34.292 --> 01:19:37.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So he opted to move down to NXT, he asked him move down to NXT.
01:19:38.093 --> 01:19:40.354
[SPEAKER_00]: He needed something to sink his teeth into again.
01:19:40.374 --> 01:19:41.894
[SPEAKER_00]: He knew the writing was on the wall.
01:19:42.314 --> 01:19:45.495
[SPEAKER_00]: If I stay here and they give me nothing, I am doomed.
01:19:45.895 --> 01:19:48.036
[SPEAKER_00]: I am probably going to get my termination papers.
01:19:49.816 --> 01:19:51.877
[SPEAKER_00]: So I look at that and he goes back down to NXT.
01:19:51.917 --> 01:19:52.857
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to do the work.
01:19:52.897 --> 01:19:53.878
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been doing the work.
01:19:53.918 --> 01:19:55.458
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been excelling at it.
01:19:56.118 --> 01:19:57.579
[SPEAKER_00]: He's reconstructed his career.
01:19:57.619 --> 01:19:59.119
[SPEAKER_00]: He feels like a big time deal.
01:20:01.160 --> 01:20:02.620
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see it work out for him.
01:20:03.978 --> 01:20:10.504
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, but how many people have gone from the main roster, back down to NXT to get back to the main roster again?
01:20:12.305 --> 01:20:14.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I almost feel like WWE looks down on that type of thing.
01:20:16.109 --> 01:20:18.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you didn't want to see the process through on the main roster.
01:20:18.631 --> 01:20:19.692
[SPEAKER_00]: You were banned in dust.
01:20:20.332 --> 01:20:26.418
[SPEAKER_00]: You thought you could go run to pop a short Michaels and he'd take care of you and Carter, you like a little baby, right?
01:20:27.263 --> 01:20:30.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Then they get back to the main roster and you get Bruce and you get all those guys.
01:20:30.964 --> 01:20:31.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, look at this guy.
01:20:31.704 --> 01:20:32.544
[SPEAKER_00]: He thought who he was.
01:20:32.564 --> 01:20:34.484
[SPEAKER_00]: He thought he became a big deal there.
01:20:34.524 --> 01:20:35.164
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't actually.
01:20:35.184 --> 01:20:38.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's see how much of a big deal he is on the main roster.
01:20:38.065 --> 01:20:38.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha.
01:20:39.585 --> 01:20:40.525
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it with Corbin.
01:20:40.946 --> 01:20:42.266
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it with Apollo crews.
01:20:42.586 --> 01:20:44.106
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it with Mustafa Ali.
01:20:44.526 --> 01:20:47.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm only just naming guys that jump off the top of my head.
01:20:50.007 --> 01:20:52.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think it's going to end any differently for Grayson Waller?
01:20:53.828 --> 01:20:54.288
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
01:20:55.892 --> 01:20:56.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
01:20:56.512 --> 01:20:57.653
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate seeing talent wasted.
01:20:58.793 --> 01:20:59.053
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
01:21:00.094 --> 01:21:01.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Barricorban went down there.
01:21:01.234 --> 01:21:02.455
[SPEAKER_00]: He transformed his career.
01:21:02.475 --> 01:21:03.715
[SPEAKER_00]: He went back to being the long wolf.
01:21:03.735 --> 01:21:05.456
[SPEAKER_00]: They gave him his own fucking theme music back.
01:21:05.976 --> 01:21:07.697
[SPEAKER_00]: They gave him his old NXT theme back.
01:21:09.017 --> 01:21:12.158
[SPEAKER_00]: It was having main event matches on paper views with Ilya Dragon all.
01:21:12.499 --> 01:21:14.920
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a take team with Brombreaker, the wolf dogs.
01:21:16.780 --> 01:21:20.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he gets called up to the mayor roster and they put him in a fucking take team with Apollo Cruz.
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:27.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he gets fired, then he gets brought back.
01:21:28.581 --> 01:21:30.742
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not at state champion, and now he's out.
01:21:31.742 --> 01:21:39.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Quarac, quote, out, cervical contusion and vision loss because Cody wrote, it's punted him in the face.
01:21:41.106 --> 01:21:41.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
01:21:43.567 --> 01:21:45.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Mustafa Ali, fired.
01:21:45.747 --> 01:21:47.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't even make it back to the mayor roster.
01:21:49.869 --> 01:21:51.750
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it works out better for Grayson Waller.
01:21:51.890 --> 01:21:52.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
01:21:56.940 --> 01:21:57.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Match was all right.
01:21:57.600 --> 01:21:58.300
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a match.
01:21:59.240 --> 01:22:00.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk and wall locked up.
01:22:01.041 --> 01:22:02.801
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk really got no reaction here in Orlando.
01:22:02.881 --> 01:22:04.001
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate this fucking crowd.
01:22:04.021 --> 01:22:06.822
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to say, I hate this, this performance in a crowd.
01:22:06.882 --> 01:22:09.742
[SPEAKER_00]: They, you know, I get some people saw us the same crowd.
01:22:09.842 --> 01:22:11.002
[SPEAKER_00]: It's winter park Florida.
01:22:11.282 --> 01:22:14.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Motherfucker, this isn't the same crowd as the full set crowd.
01:22:14.463 --> 01:22:14.823
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not.
01:22:16.023 --> 01:22:16.383
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not.
01:22:16.503 --> 01:22:17.203
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't give a fuck.
01:22:17.263 --> 01:22:19.424
[SPEAKER_00]: What you tell me and how you tell me it's the same.
01:22:19.444 --> 01:22:20.064
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the same.
01:22:20.904 --> 01:22:21.064
[SPEAKER_00]: These
01:22:27.848 --> 01:22:34.591
[SPEAKER_00]: They're disrespectful, they're there, they take the show over more times than I really care to mention.
01:22:36.532 --> 01:22:37.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk got no reaction.
01:22:39.293 --> 01:22:48.597
[SPEAKER_00]: You got fucking CM Punk, chick magnet punk here at the performance center and you give them a bare bones reaction.
01:22:54.109 --> 01:22:57.532
[SPEAKER_00]: So punk sends Waller down to the mat with a couple arm drags.
01:22:57.552 --> 01:22:58.873
[SPEAKER_00]: He's showing the rookie.
01:22:59.073 --> 01:22:59.613
[SPEAKER_00]: How it's done.
01:23:00.934 --> 01:23:01.935
[SPEAKER_00]: The waller is no rookie.
01:23:02.876 --> 01:23:04.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Waller and slow things down side, headlock.
01:23:05.538 --> 01:23:09.300
[SPEAKER_00]: We go outside punk trap waller in the ring skirt land in a big right hand.
01:23:09.901 --> 01:23:11.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Waller sent punk into the ring post.
01:23:11.482 --> 01:23:12.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Slid onto the bottom rope.
01:23:13.103 --> 01:23:14.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Close lined him on the outside.
01:23:14.705 --> 01:23:15.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It rolls him back in.
01:23:17.947 --> 01:23:21.690
[SPEAKER_00]: We go back in the ring punk dumps waller over the top row.
01:23:23.518 --> 01:23:26.302
[SPEAKER_00]: And Walla comes back with some stomps in the right hand.
01:23:26.362 --> 01:23:30.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Knees to the side of Punk's head, punk starts firing back.
01:23:30.067 --> 01:23:33.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk took a lot of offense here in I would say after the opening bell.
01:23:33.912 --> 01:23:37.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk took a lot of offense from Walla here for the majority of the match up until the end.
01:23:39.283 --> 01:23:44.168
[SPEAKER_00]: So punk fires back, diving out of the ring with a suicide to take him down.
01:23:44.188 --> 01:23:46.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You roll a roller back into the ring.
01:23:46.230 --> 01:23:49.033
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a big, beautiful cross-body off the top rope.
01:23:49.534 --> 01:23:53.058
[SPEAKER_00]: And he goes for cover gets a two-count, punk then single for the GTS.
01:23:54.430 --> 01:24:06.718
[SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden security is seen running to ringside from the hard camera side over the barricade, Kevin Owens didn't even reach the ringside area.
01:24:07.238 --> 01:24:10.721
[SPEAKER_00]: He jumps over the barricade, tries to get into the ring.
01:24:11.821 --> 01:24:16.504
[SPEAKER_00]: The officials in security pull him back and drag him back over the barricade.
01:24:17.225 --> 01:24:22.188
[SPEAKER_00]: CM Punk is completely blindsided by Kevin Owens being there.
01:24:24.812 --> 01:24:33.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess Kevin Owens was on social media and CM Punk didn't see it because CM Punk doesn't have Twitter or he's rarely on Instagram.
01:24:34.337 --> 01:24:44.823
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was distracted by Kevin Owens was CM Punk and Waller rolled punk up from behind and hooked the tights.
01:24:46.023 --> 01:24:49.845
[SPEAKER_00]: One, two, three, Grayson Waller wins over CM Punk.
01:24:49.865 --> 01:24:52.487
[SPEAKER_00]: He retains the NXT Championship.
01:24:53.652 --> 01:24:54.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk was upset.
01:24:55.093 --> 01:24:58.894
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked down at Waller and Waller was like, yeah, I'm the best in the world, motherfucker.
01:25:00.095 --> 01:25:04.497
[SPEAKER_00]: So Waller ends up gloating and seeing Punk and believe that Kevin Owens fucked him over.
01:25:05.637 --> 01:25:08.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm assuming that's the match we're going to get.
01:25:08.699 --> 01:25:15.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd heard from people who are in attendance that reached out to me, said that the match on Friday that was taped at the Barclays Center was fucking great.
01:25:16.759 --> 01:25:22.024
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to pay close attention to what they do in that match on Friday, but I'm very much looking forward to that.
01:25:22.184 --> 01:25:33.874
[SPEAKER_00]: Waller wins in the main event over CM Punk, big win for Grayson Waller, it's nice to have that on his resume and that was basically it, it's the way the show went off the air.
01:25:35.776 --> 01:25:39.479
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was NXT, it was a show.
01:25:43.777 --> 01:25:49.520
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a show with a big-time main event with CM Punk in the main event, challenging for the brand's biggest championship.
01:25:50.381 --> 01:25:58.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla Fattu, the biggest prospect in NXT, invited to the Johnson Classic.
01:25:58.925 --> 01:26:00.946
[SPEAKER_00]: He got invited to the Johnson and the Shalk of Factory.
01:26:03.087 --> 01:26:05.969
[SPEAKER_00]: And you got a glimpse as to what the Johnson and Classic is going to be.
01:26:06.700 --> 01:26:07.741
[SPEAKER_00]: because we've got a lot of matches.
01:26:07.801 --> 01:26:11.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And I lot of glimps into what the classic is going to be.
01:26:11.563 --> 01:26:12.464
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Colony Jones vs.
01:26:12.484 --> 01:26:12.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Page.
01:26:12.944 --> 01:26:17.588
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Gabel, Phoenix, and Dragon Lee vs. Vanity Project.
01:26:18.908 --> 01:26:30.937
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are matches that are going to be very, very significant and how the Johnson & Classic is going to be when we get to December 14th.
01:26:32.663 --> 01:26:33.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was a show.
01:26:34.245 --> 01:26:37.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, like I said, this show genuinely is not for me.
01:26:38.188 --> 01:26:39.949
[SPEAKER_00]: On a week to week basis, this is not for me.
01:26:41.631 --> 01:26:42.351
[SPEAKER_00]: I pay attention.
01:26:43.432 --> 01:26:47.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I pay attention to NXT in small, small small doses.
01:26:47.956 --> 01:26:50.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Highlights, clips, social media.
01:26:50.818 --> 01:26:52.059
[SPEAKER_00]: I pay attention to what's going on.
01:26:52.079 --> 01:26:53.340
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I know some of the talent.
01:26:53.981 --> 01:26:55.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I don't care about some talent.
01:26:55.522 --> 01:26:55.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really
01:26:58.269 --> 01:26:59.310
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like dark state.
01:26:59.530 --> 01:27:02.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Never like dark state since the the moment they debuted.
01:27:03.053 --> 01:27:05.354
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Grayson wall a guy big Cologne Jordan guy.
01:27:06.535 --> 01:27:07.976
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Kendall Gray.
01:27:08.857 --> 01:27:10.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Cali Armstrong guy.
01:27:11.399 --> 01:27:11.939
[SPEAKER_00]: She's great.
01:27:14.361 --> 01:27:16.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Zaria loves area.
01:27:17.403 --> 01:27:21.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Lizzy rain fan just love the gimmick.
01:27:22.247 --> 01:27:23.788
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's just it's just me.
01:27:25.030 --> 01:27:43.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when you go out there and you're a metal, I mean, I'm going to pay attention because that's I connect with someone like that character was other than I like Hank and Tank, you know, Romeo Moreno, he looked really good tonight.
01:27:43.228 --> 01:27:44.369
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the first time I saw him.
01:27:46.027 --> 01:27:47.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, there's things to like.
01:27:47.849 --> 01:27:48.829
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some things to like.
01:27:48.849 --> 01:27:50.591
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot to dislike about this show.
01:27:51.371 --> 01:27:54.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll continue to harp on until I am blue in the face.
01:27:54.414 --> 01:27:58.557
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish they would go back and do a little bit of what black and gold it.
01:27:59.598 --> 01:28:00.479
[SPEAKER_00]: I miss black and gold.
01:28:00.599 --> 01:28:02.120
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with missing black and gold.
01:28:02.160 --> 01:28:03.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Black and gold work.
01:28:03.081 --> 01:28:11.248
[SPEAKER_00]: Black and gold would still be great today if they just kind of dipped into that fucking into that mentality a little bit.
01:28:11.408 --> 01:28:11.648
[SPEAKER_00]: You know?
01:28:13.205 --> 01:28:16.286
[SPEAKER_00]: No reason why we can't do a little bit of mix of that and mix of this.
01:28:16.986 --> 01:28:19.106
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just this show is way too polished for me.
01:28:19.806 --> 01:28:21.887
[SPEAKER_00]: It's basically the main roster with fucking rookies.
01:28:22.847 --> 01:28:29.028
[SPEAKER_00]: Bright lights, colorful shits, rat music, the graphics, the fucking LED boards.
01:28:29.088 --> 01:28:34.169
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, bro, when I want to watch the developmental, this is a step up from developmental.
01:28:34.229 --> 01:28:35.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Evolve is their development.
01:28:35.469 --> 01:28:36.929
[SPEAKER_00]: TNA is their developmental.
01:28:37.889 --> 01:28:39.069
[SPEAKER_00]: But Evolve is their development.
01:28:39.089 --> 01:28:40.850
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a step up from their developmental.
01:28:44.660 --> 01:28:51.324
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit of an indie feel, a gritty feel, a more raw feel, right?
01:28:52.345 --> 01:28:54.566
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with wanting the brand to be better.
01:28:55.487 --> 01:28:58.689
[SPEAKER_00]: In its current state, I don't think it's the right product.
01:28:59.829 --> 01:29:06.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's the right product for these fucking people, because they're half brain dead, but I don't think what they're doing is working.
01:29:06.814 --> 01:29:07.094
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
01:29:07.754 --> 01:29:14.118
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a poorly written television show and it's basically a carbon copy of the main roster with no identity anymore.
01:29:16.055 --> 01:29:21.458
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd like to say that, and a lot of people end up feeling that way, we want it to be better.
01:29:22.659 --> 01:29:24.460
[SPEAKER_00]: The current product you're getting right now is not better.
01:29:27.522 --> 01:29:31.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Get it through these super chats and they get the aladias so I could jump on Final Fantasy Resonance.
01:29:31.264 --> 01:29:36.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys very much for joining me here on this Wednesday night.
01:29:42.731 --> 01:29:43.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I muted my music.
01:29:47.023 --> 01:29:48.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Follow me on social media, Ajay.
01:29:48.104 --> 01:29:49.965
[SPEAKER_00]: If you remember when I told you or said, you know what I forgot to do?
01:29:50.085 --> 01:29:50.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Motherfucker!
01:29:58.369 --> 01:30:01.090
[SPEAKER_00]: All the bots, all the bots probably stole it, right?
01:30:01.190 --> 01:30:07.033
[SPEAKER_00]: Anybody got, anybody got lucky with the Nintendo Switch Zelda edition?
01:30:10.435 --> 01:30:11.696
[SPEAKER_00]: eBay sale or not eBay?
01:30:11.776 --> 01:30:12.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Amazon selling it for $1400.
01:30:17.604 --> 01:30:18.505
[SPEAKER_00]: It's f***ing ridiculous.
01:30:21.407 --> 01:30:22.888
[SPEAKER_00]: F***ing ridiculous, man.
01:30:30.795 --> 01:30:33.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Follow me on social media, Ajit, you've been wanting to owe six.
01:30:33.037 --> 01:30:35.399

01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:01.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know what you guys thought of tonight's NXT.
01:31:02.803 --> 01:31:06.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight was sponsored by my great friends over at BrooklynBetting.
01:31:06.806 --> 01:31:09.688
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a BrooklynBetting.com.
01:31:09.708 --> 01:31:14.972
[SPEAKER_00]: 30% off site wide when you use promo code scripts.
01:31:17.595 --> 01:31:24.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, I want to thank my great friends over at Brooklyn bedding for sponsoring the NXT podcast right here on off the script.
01:31:24.400 --> 01:31:31.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, you know how much time I spend sitting in this chair talking about professional wrestling three hours shows late night live streams and somehow.
01:31:31.985 --> 01:31:35.188
[SPEAKER_00]: I end up spending more time talking about the show than actually watching it.
01:31:35.788 --> 01:31:44.955
[SPEAKER_00]: And after sitting here for hours watching Tony comms creative decisions, we're trying to stay away through another painfully boring episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
01:31:45.195 --> 01:31:53.361
[SPEAKER_00]: There's only one thing I absolutely need when I finally shut this microphone off, and that is a good night's sleep.
01:31:53.742 --> 01:31:58.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I'm happy to have Brooklyn betting back, sponsoring off the script.
01:31:58.405 --> 01:32:05.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I've actually been sleeping on their Thermo Balance mattress, and guys, I genuinely love how comfortable and supportive this thing feels.
01:32:05.931 --> 01:32:10.054
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not just sitting here reading you some marketing nonsense about a mattress I've never touched.
01:32:10.434 --> 01:32:20.082
[SPEAKER_00]: I've actually slept on it, I've spent my nights on it, and after these ridiculously long work days and live streams, it's something I genuinely look forward to getting into.
01:32:20.442 --> 01:32:32.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Because let's be honest, the last thing anybody needs after 3 hours of triple H's creative is another 8 hours of disappointment, and unlike WWE creative, Brooklyn betting understands that one size does not.
01:32:33.373 --> 01:32:34.014
[SPEAKER_00]: fit all.
01:32:34.354 --> 01:32:39.279
[SPEAKER_00]: They offer more than 15 different mattress models for different bodies and sleep styles.
01:32:39.619 --> 01:32:41.601
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's something else I respect about the company.
01:32:41.901 --> 01:32:46.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Brooklyn betting has been assembling mattresses for more than 30 years at their factory in Arizona.
01:32:47.226 --> 01:32:51.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Real American craftsmanship with people who actually know what they're doing.
01:32:51.570 --> 01:32:55.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Khan could probably use a few of those people in his creative department.
01:32:56.154 --> 01:33:04.001
[SPEAKER_00]: and they offer 365 night comfort trial so you have plenty of time to decide whether your mattress is the right fit for you.
01:33:04.521 --> 01:33:11.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's where you guys come on in because Brooklyn betting has an exclusive offer for everybody watching off the script.

[SPEAKER_00]: My computer froze.

[SPEAKER_00]: If it froze in the middle of the ad, I apologize to you guys, but, uh...
01:35:06.900 --> 01:35:07.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what to tell you.
01:35:08.900 --> 01:35:12.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I was browsing Nintendo's website and the fucking website crashed.
01:35:13.782 --> 01:35:14.362
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what happened.
01:35:16.902 --> 01:35:17.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Ridiculous.
01:35:17.963 --> 01:35:18.303
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here.
01:35:21.003 --> 01:35:21.264

[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
00:01.185 --> 00:02.026
[UNKNOWN]: about errors.
00:02.767 --> 00:04.628
[SPEAKER_00]: It also isn't about excuses.
00:05.349 --> 00:12.816
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE High-Stale Creatively, AEW High-Stale Fundamentally, so what it Triple H lose the plot?
00:13.357 --> 00:22.266
[SPEAKER_00]: What it's only can't abandon everything that made AEW special, because nobody has committed to the one thing that actually matters.
00:22.826 --> 00:25.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Long-time booking.
00:34.674 --> 00:38.636
[SPEAKER_00]: What is going on guys, thank you so very much for joining me right here on off the script.
00:38.796 --> 00:50.142
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your NXT post show for your November 4th, 2021, I'm your host, JD from New York.
00:50.242 --> 00:54.043
[SPEAKER_00]: As always, coming to you live from the OTS video.
00:54.624 --> 01:00.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys so very much for joining me on this Wednesday evening, wherever you may be.
01:04.701 --> 01:07.962
[SPEAKER_00]: I have decided to not cover A.W.
01:07.982 --> 01:08.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Dynamite tonight.
01:08.782 --> 01:29.187
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people were expecting me to cover such a monumental, such an amazing, such a bloody and gutsy show tonight from Jacksonville, Florida, which was not sold out by the way.
01:32.535 --> 01:47.582
[SPEAKER_00]: I could not bring myself to cover AEW tonight's, I have never felt as disinterested for a blooding guts match in the five years that AEW has been doing them.
01:50.364 --> 01:51.144
[SPEAKER_00]: None of it matters.
01:53.365 --> 01:58.968
[SPEAKER_00]: The people and the individuals that were in this match, none of it mattered.
02:00.181 --> 02:04.804
[SPEAKER_00]: The stories aren't there to really bring you in, suck you in.
02:04.844 --> 02:09.186
[SPEAKER_00]: The stories are just not there, they're not captivating enough.
02:09.246 --> 02:20.413
[SPEAKER_00]: The tensions between everybody is so manufactured, it is so forced, it is 12 guys, just randomly
02:28.058 --> 02:40.081
[SPEAKER_00]: That's everybody's got to bring a fucking weapon to the cage and they bleed for 60 minutes because it's got to live up to being blood and guts.
02:42.321 --> 02:43.882
[SPEAKER_00]: The women's match was even worse.
02:45.202 --> 02:52.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I tuned in during the commercials tonight and the advertised match that we got last Wednesday wasn't even the match we got tonight.
02:54.517 --> 03:07.465
[SPEAKER_00]: They changed participants in this match because making the match, the women's match, making the women's match even more of a waste of time.
03:09.887 --> 03:11.468
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what goes through their heads.
03:13.089 --> 03:13.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
03:14.770 --> 03:23.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, when there is such a lack of story, what do you genuinely want me and Jessie
03:25.317 --> 03:27.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, Chris that led her.
03:27.218 --> 03:29.499
[SPEAKER_00]: She got hit over the head with a light tube.
03:29.680 --> 03:31.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, like I'm watching fucking G.C.
03:32.081 --> 03:34.582
[SPEAKER_00]: W. Bro, who the fuck wants to watch that?
03:35.763 --> 03:36.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriously.
03:38.144 --> 03:44.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Thumbtax and leaf blowers and shains and painted steel shares, bro.
03:45.248 --> 03:46.669
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't bring myself to do it.
03:48.410 --> 03:52.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Khan has made blooding guts.
03:53.937 --> 04:17.610
[SPEAKER_00]: into what Vince McMahon turns hell in a cell into an absolute waste of time every single year that we the fan base are now questioning what does this need to take place once upon a time this match used to fill out a reen is 10,000 plus couldn't even get 5000 plus in Jacksonville, Florida tonight.
04:20.415 --> 04:33.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Those to show you one thing and one thing only chat, the one thing that we always say is the most important when you tell a story and you get people to care, people will come out and buy tickets to watch your show.
04:35.119 --> 04:38.439
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that you don't do that, you see the results.
04:39.860 --> 04:40.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Clip it.
04:44.601 --> 04:45.561
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not here to talk about,
04:54.923 --> 04:58.786
[SPEAKER_00]: I've said time and time and time again that this version of NXT is not for me.
05:00.067 --> 05:00.887
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not for me.
05:01.008 --> 05:02.409
[SPEAKER_00]: It will never be for me.
05:02.629 --> 05:10.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I am not at any time under any circumstances going to watch this show on a weekly basis.
05:11.876 --> 05:16.319
[SPEAKER_00]: It is basically a sanitized version of an already
05:26.980 --> 05:36.388
[SPEAKER_00]: very subpar commentary team, in ring action that is riddled with commercial breaks just like the main roster.
05:40.472 --> 05:54.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Writing that is certainly not for me or people that were born in my generation, wrestlers acting, reciting lines that were written by somebody that clearly has lost
05:56.313 --> 06:01.555
[SPEAKER_00]: This NXT is never going to be for me, but some of you guys enjoy the product.
06:03.156 --> 06:03.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not.
06:05.117 --> 06:06.337
[SPEAKER_00]: So why did I tune in tonight?
06:06.377 --> 06:07.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did I choose this over time?
06:07.618 --> 06:14.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, when you got Chad Gable, Ray Phoenix, not Penta, I mean, I was surprised, Penta wasn't there.
06:15.341 --> 06:25.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Ray Phoenix, Chad Gable, Dragon Lee, Mike Santana, and all of nine four six, John Cena making another classic announcement.
06:26.033 --> 06:33.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes, who we all knew was going to be on the show for like two or three minutes and really do nothing but hand the fucking trophy to the winner of the Dusty Classic.
06:34.698 --> 06:40.401
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you got CM Punk and Grayson Waller in the main event for the NXT World Champion chip.
06:40.841 --> 06:47.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And then WWE started teasing that Kevin Owens was in the building and Kevin Owens might be a part of the show.
06:48.025 --> 06:51.547
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, you know what, I'm going to make a late decision.
06:56.445 --> 06:57.285
[SPEAKER_00]: He was very pleased.
06:57.305 --> 06:58.626
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't have to do two streams.
06:58.646 --> 07:00.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He only had to do one stream.
07:00.966 --> 07:02.847
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, you know what, man, I'm going to watch NXT.
07:02.887 --> 07:04.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to cover NXT tonight.
07:06.488 --> 07:07.308
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I'm here.
07:09.029 --> 07:09.689
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I'm here.
07:12.370 --> 07:17.611
[SPEAKER_00]: The biggest takeaway for tonight's show is two things.
07:17.631 --> 07:18.451
[SPEAKER_00]: The mix of two things.
07:21.852 --> 07:24.073
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight's show shows you exactly.
07:25.267 --> 07:28.089
[SPEAKER_00]: What WWE is going to do with the Johnson and the classic?
07:29.710 --> 07:32.132
[SPEAKER_00]: This show wasn't about beating AEW in the ratings.
07:33.173 --> 07:34.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Though I'm sure it'll be close.
07:34.834 --> 07:37.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I see some people really harping on what the ratings are going to be.
07:37.416 --> 07:39.538
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, people live and die by these fucking ratings.
07:39.558 --> 07:40.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Who gives a shit?
07:41.359 --> 07:43.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Who gives a shit?
07:43.861 --> 07:50.907
[SPEAKER_00]: 52 weeks out of the year, I would say NXT beats AEW maybe 48 out of the 52 weeks in the year.
07:52.290 --> 08:09.439
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are one of those people that still believe Meltzer's calculations, because Meltzer is still running off the fucking notion of blow job bethal, saying that Max is yielding 500,000 weekly viewers for a dynamite in Collision bed.
08:09.479 --> 08:14.321
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the guy must have been smoking some crystal fucking meth that's a come up with those fucking numbers.
08:15.442 --> 08:16.983
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus fucking Christ.
08:18.170 --> 08:23.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Holy shit, did Nikola Piccolo beat you over the fucking head with his fucking surfboard?
08:23.693 --> 08:24.994
[SPEAKER_00]: You fucking fool.
08:26.235 --> 08:27.095
[SPEAKER_00]: My god.
08:31.698 --> 08:35.200
[SPEAKER_00]: 48 out of the 52 weeks NXT beats, AEW in the ratings.
08:35.500 --> 08:37.822
[SPEAKER_00]: This wasn't about beating AEW in the ratings.
08:38.722 --> 08:41.244
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, they got preempted because of the election.
08:42.558 --> 08:53.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming WWE or CW, a mixture of a couple of figure heads from both companies came together and said, well, we don't really want to run against the election and election coverage.
08:53.621 --> 08:54.501
[SPEAKER_00]: People take that shit.
08:54.601 --> 08:55.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Where to fucking seriously?
08:57.022 --> 08:58.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go to Wednesday night.
08:59.643 --> 09:02.724
[SPEAKER_00]: And they decided to run head to head with AEW on their home turf.
09:03.944 --> 09:05.344
[SPEAKER_00]: The rating is probably going to be closed.
09:05.384 --> 09:07.225
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw some people today like Raj Geary.
09:08.353 --> 09:10.974
[SPEAKER_00]: who said that NXT was pre-empted in some markets.
09:11.515 --> 09:13.336
[SPEAKER_00]: People live in die by these fucking ratings.
09:13.376 --> 09:14.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really understand it.
09:15.237 --> 09:15.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell you, W.E.
09:15.977 --> 09:18.179
[SPEAKER_00]: never wants to beat A.E.W in the ratings.
09:19.259 --> 09:22.921
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at what they do, their strategy isn't to beat A.E.W in the ratings.
09:22.941 --> 09:25.162
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like a fucking woodpecker.
09:26.403 --> 09:30.605
[SPEAKER_00]: They just sit at their tree and they pack wood.
09:32.286 --> 09:35.788
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like a fly on the fourth of July at your family bar with you.
09:38.050 --> 09:41.352
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't give a shit, he swiped it away.
09:41.953 --> 09:46.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Wave your hands here and then get away from my fucking hot dog, get away from my Macaroni salad.
09:48.638 --> 09:56.103
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE never expects to be 80W in the ratings, not with NXT, not with Triple A.
09:57.124 --> 09:58.405
[SPEAKER_00]: World's collide.
10:00.532 --> 10:05.756
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is looking to take market share away from AEW.
10:06.436 --> 10:10.659
[SPEAKER_00]: They're looking to steal engagement away from AEW.
10:12.360 --> 10:19.165
[SPEAKER_00]: So they'll run a Chicago going head to head with a non-tellivized show against a major AEW show.
10:19.786 --> 10:24.749
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll go to Wednesday night with an NXT show that is absolutely loaded
10:27.646 --> 10:42.470
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll run AAA and NXT in the early afternoon when they see fit to go against an overseas AEW pay per view because they can because they can and you know why it's never going to stop.
10:44.090 --> 10:45.350
[SPEAKER_00]: It's never going to stop.
10:47.431 --> 10:52.912
[SPEAKER_00]: They are looking to steal market share, they're looking to take money away from AEW,
10:56.012 --> 10:57.093
[SPEAKER_00]: away from AEW.
10:57.433 --> 11:02.696
[SPEAKER_00]: The less people are talking about AEW and the more people are talking about WWE, that's all they care about.
11:03.997 --> 11:04.857
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all they care about.
11:04.897 --> 11:08.299
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they put CM Punk in the main event against Grayson Waller for the NXT championship.
11:08.319 --> 11:14.322
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they had Kevin Owens out there adding a little heat to the fire for their match on Friday in Brooklyn.
11:14.863 --> 11:16.404
[SPEAKER_00]: No holds barred on SmackDown.
11:17.044 --> 11:19.626
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they had John Cena come out tonight
11:25.533 --> 11:28.794
[SPEAKER_00]: to be the second invite to the Johnson Eclasic.
11:32.856 --> 11:37.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight's show was all about giving you a glimpse into what the Johnson Eclasic is going to be.
11:39.599 --> 11:44.161
[SPEAKER_00]: That opening six man take team match with the Vanity Project, who I fucking love man, they're fucking great.
11:44.921 --> 11:46.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Vanity Project is fucking awesome.
11:48.328 --> 11:52.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Watch the vanity project against Gable, Phoenix, and Dragon Lee.
11:52.530 --> 12:01.855
[SPEAKER_00]: That is some of the best, prime, young talent that NXT has to offer against three fucking absolute machines on the mayor's roster.
12:01.875 --> 12:04.276
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the Johnson Eclassic is gonna be.
12:06.757 --> 12:10.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you get something like Mike Santana and Dion Lennox.
12:12.080 --> 12:13.961
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the Johnson Eclassic is gonna be.
12:15.832 --> 12:20.836
[SPEAKER_00]: He got something like Kalani Jordan and Paige for the NXT Women's Championship.
12:21.716 --> 12:23.117
[SPEAKER_00]: I get why they went with Paige.
12:23.437 --> 12:25.459
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have went with something a little bit more exciting.
12:25.519 --> 12:26.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have went with EO.
12:28.161 --> 12:33.465
[SPEAKER_00]: But Kalani Jordan and Paige, you get a glimpse into what the John Cena classic is going to be.
12:35.126 --> 12:36.287
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what this night was about.
12:36.307 --> 12:37.648
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't about beating 8.0.
12:39.229 --> 12:42.291
[SPEAKER_00]: It was partially to take market share away from AEW.
12:43.735 --> 13:07.142
[SPEAKER_00]: and it was partially to show you what the Johnson at class it was going to be or is going to be Johnson was on the show and he came out no fluff i believe he was sporting a brand new color t-shirt and a brand new hat think the shirt he had on monday was gray tonight was blue
13:12.194 --> 13:14.036
[SPEAKER_00]: But he came at sporting new merchandise.
13:15.177 --> 13:16.338
[SPEAKER_00]: He was excited to be there.
13:18.000 --> 13:19.261
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't really waste any time.
13:20.303 --> 13:24.887
[SPEAKER_00]: And he invited Zilafatu to compete in the Johnson of Classic.
13:24.907 --> 13:28.191
[SPEAKER_00]: He is now the second entry in the Johnson of Classic.
13:28.571 --> 13:33.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rose was announced as the first entry in the Johnson of Classic that happened on Monday.
13:37.853 --> 13:41.836
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been very vocal about the John Cena classic and the rollout of the announcements.
13:41.976 --> 14:04.954
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's nothing more than corporate slopp, WWE at John Cena go out on Monday, and he was sporting a brand new hat brand new T-shirt, new title belt, which was the replica title that he had on Monday, the one that's going to be sold on shop dot com $800 a pop already sold out within minutes of it going live on the website.
14:09.373 --> 14:30.237
[SPEAKER_00]: him announcing in a very corny way, we're going to Disney world and then announcing December 14th with the Johnson and Classic taking place at Walt Disney wide world of sports complex in Orlando, Florida, the corporate synergy with WWE and Mickey Mouse
14:38.867 --> 14:39.487
[SPEAKER_00]: partnership.
14:39.587 --> 14:40.328
[SPEAKER_00]: What that means.
14:40.488 --> 14:40.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
14:41.008 --> 14:45.691
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll probably mean a WWE attraction or attractions at the theme park.
14:46.432 --> 15:01.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows if there's going to be a physical Hall of Fame at Walt Disney being that everything is already centralized in Orlando, Florida for WWE talent live down there they train down there events happen down there
15:04.635 --> 15:07.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows what else is to come with partnerships?
15:07.298 --> 15:10.421
[SPEAKER_00]: They got something going on with Doomsday.
15:10.441 --> 15:14.145
[SPEAKER_00]: This mega movie coming out in December.
15:14.786 --> 15:18.129
[SPEAKER_00]: World's collide Doomsday is airing the same week.
15:18.570 --> 15:21.813
[SPEAKER_00]: That WWE is doing events overseas.
15:22.794 --> 15:23.515
[SPEAKER_00]: And Australia.
15:25.083 --> 15:28.766
[SPEAKER_00]: All the way across the other side of the fucking globe, WWE is going to be doing events.
15:29.326 --> 15:32.709
[SPEAKER_00]: And here in the United States, we're getting a Johnson and Classic on Monday and at Raw.
15:32.729 --> 15:38.053
[SPEAKER_00]: There'll be two Rawls in one night on that Monday, December 14th.
15:42.136 --> 15:46.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been very vocal about the partnership, the rollout, the announcement.
15:48.000 --> 15:50.562
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a walking advertisement for shop.com.
15:54.892 --> 16:07.414
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got the announcement that the voting, they'll be a voting process for all these matches, random matches will be added, a voting process will be taking place on club WWE.
16:08.474 --> 16:10.735
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to be a member to club WWE to vote.
16:10.795 --> 16:12.135
[SPEAKER_00]: It's $100 for the year.
16:12.695 --> 16:14.496
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if there's a monthly subscription.
16:15.076 --> 16:16.676
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you can sign up per month.
16:17.296 --> 16:19.917
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably more expensive to do that if there is an option.
16:20.477 --> 16:21.317
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's 99, 99 for the year.
16:23.442 --> 16:24.723
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the only way you can vote.
16:25.703 --> 16:33.167
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is shutting out everybody else who watch the product and they're keeping it contained the club WWE on the one hand I get it on the other hand I don't.
16:34.487 --> 16:44.912
[SPEAKER_00]: Please give me your money to participate in this one night event that John Cena is conducting for the WWE universe that's taking place across the pond for Mickey Mouse's fucking
16:50.620 --> 17:01.408
[SPEAKER_00]: by the shirt, by this hat, by this title belt, Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney, we're going to Disney World, bro, it's it's at some point you become desensitized to all of it.
17:04.850 --> 17:12.275
[SPEAKER_00]: But tonight, tonight you saw the good in what the John Cena classic is going to give us.
17:14.037 --> 17:19.160
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena was in the ring and he immediately brought out Zilla Fattu who has awful
17:21.100 --> 17:24.662
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the first time I heard Zilla's theme music with open ears.
17:25.123 --> 17:28.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla's theme music is fucking awful and in no way fits him whatsoever.
17:31.547 --> 17:33.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think they didn't him that dirty with the theme music.
17:37.611 --> 17:37.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever.
17:39.512 --> 17:40.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla fought two comes on out.
17:48.539 --> 17:52.862
[SPEAKER_00]: with Zilafat to basically going over his history with the Anawaii family.
17:54.443 --> 17:56.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Feeling like he's an honorary Simone.
17:57.645 --> 18:01.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Detailing his battles with Roman reigns in the rock.
18:02.668 --> 18:06.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Drinking a couple of cold ones in the back with the usos, he's an usus.
18:07.791 --> 18:12.714
[SPEAKER_00]: He mentions Zilaf's father Umaga, who's one of John Cena's greatest rivals.
18:16.116 --> 18:24.859
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a star making moment or at least the beginning stages of a star making moment for Zilla Fattu being in the ring with John Cena getting the personal endorsement from John Cena.
18:26.079 --> 18:27.080
[SPEAKER_00]: He's now in the tournament.
18:28.880 --> 18:30.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how you guys feel about it.
18:30.301 --> 18:32.041
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who else is going to be in this thing.
18:32.081 --> 18:35.282
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the rest of the field is going to look like.
18:36.383 --> 18:38.283
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know if there's going to be women's matches.
18:38.303 --> 18:40.544
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe John Cena wants to invite a couple of women.
18:40.584 --> 18:41.484
[SPEAKER_00]: Three men's matches.
18:41.504 --> 18:42.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Three women's matches.
18:42.485 --> 18:42.865
[SPEAKER_00]: We vote.
18:44.503 --> 18:44.963
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
18:45.143 --> 18:49.905
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it's going to be and who is going to take part in this thing.
18:50.525 --> 18:51.806
[SPEAKER_00]: But right now we have two of the men.
18:53.426 --> 18:55.107
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Zilafatu and Cody Rhodes.
18:56.147 --> 19:05.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilafatu has to be unless Oberfemi is not announced, which I find very difficult to believe why John
19:14.014 --> 19:17.056
[SPEAKER_00]: to compete on that show on December 13th in Washington.
19:17.396 --> 19:25.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Why Obofemi one year later would not be acts to compete as part of the main roster after the year he's had in the John Cena Classic this year.
19:26.901 --> 19:28.462
[SPEAKER_00]: I find that very difficult to believe.
19:30.563 --> 19:38.688
[SPEAKER_00]: If Obo is not in this John Cena Classic, Zilla fought to has to be the odds on favor to win this entire thing.
19:39.848 --> 19:40.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's gonna come down to voting.
19:42.580 --> 19:45.381
[SPEAKER_00]: doing enough fans know of Zilifatu to vote.
19:46.782 --> 19:54.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Doing enough people knows Zilifatu as a member of the family, the on a white family, do they know that he's related?
19:56.607 --> 20:06.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Or do they think he's just another one of these summons that we are going to be forced to cheer for because there's nothing but this push, this narrative to push the summons family.
20:08.152 --> 20:09.593
[SPEAKER_00]: How are people going to embrace that?
20:12.115 --> 20:17.178
[SPEAKER_00]: But you've got to look at what this tournament or this series of matches.
20:17.198 --> 20:19.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very difficult for me to not call it a tournament.
20:19.159 --> 20:20.420
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why it's not a tournament.
20:22.642 --> 20:24.603
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got to look at what this thing is going to be.
20:25.463 --> 20:35.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Is Ilafatu is the absolute definition of what this Sean scene tournament should breed the next star, the future of the company.
20:36.651 --> 20:45.058
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know what the winner gets, the winner gets a champion, should belt that will be showcased at the end of that night on December 14th, to probably go back into the WWE Volt somewhere.
20:46.559 --> 20:47.559
[SPEAKER_00]: What does the winner get?
20:47.920 --> 20:49.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the winner get a main roster contract?
20:50.562 --> 20:52.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the winner get fast track to the main roster?
20:53.724 --> 20:57.447
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the winner get a spot in the Royal Rumble at a prime position?
20:58.688 --> 21:00.790
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there something else that we might not be thinking of?
21:02.931 --> 21:03.512
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
21:05.592 --> 21:08.736
[SPEAKER_00]: But Zilla Fattu has to be looked at as the odds on favor to win this thing.
21:09.677 --> 21:15.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, we're John Cena announcing him as participant number two.
21:16.404 --> 21:17.626
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a great moment.
21:18.619 --> 21:21.761
[SPEAKER_00]: for Zilla Fatu, a great moment between Cena and Zilla Fatu.
21:22.382 --> 21:28.886
[SPEAKER_00]: One that was, and I use this word a lot with John Cena, because John Cena is a corporate puppet.
21:29.586 --> 21:32.568
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena is very robotic, and everything he does.
21:32.628 --> 21:36.991
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the company's quintessential grade A number one spokesperson.
21:37.391 --> 21:39.993
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so eloquently well-spoken.
21:42.095 --> 21:45.397
[SPEAKER_00]: But if everything that we say about John Cena being a company guy,
21:46.418 --> 21:58.888
[SPEAKER_00]: that moment for the brief minutes that it was was one of the more genuine moments that you'll see across WWE TV all year and in fact one of the more genuine moments that we'll see John Cena in all year.
22:00.530 --> 22:10.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Incredible moment and I'm very happy for Zilla Fattu not only because I had a little small piece of being on his journey being fortunate and being
22:12.895 --> 22:15.737
[SPEAKER_00]: to be in the position that I'm in to call some of that man's matches.
22:16.277 --> 22:17.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Big fan of what he does.
22:19.039 --> 22:22.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Very, very hyped to see what he does and where he goes.
22:23.021 --> 22:25.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has my 100% support.
22:28.004 --> 22:31.366
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exciting to see how he's coming along.
22:32.627 --> 22:37.270
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hope WWE knows what they have in Zilla Fatu, John Cena clearly does.
22:39.417 --> 22:40.177
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to get into this.
22:40.358 --> 22:42.799
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about this NXT again.
22:42.819 --> 22:52.444
[SPEAKER_00]: There wasn't a lot of story on this show because it was basically let's load up this show in the best way possible with some of our biggest names to combat AEW.
22:52.484 --> 22:54.825
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll try and make sense of all this.
22:54.865 --> 23:00.688
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your NXT Wednesday night post show for November 4th, 2000 and 26.
23:08.506 --> 23:10.567

[SPEAKER_00]: One of the more entertaining Tuesday night Titans that we've done all year.
23:22.412 --> 23:28.654
[SPEAKER_00]: Jason and I went over everything from Mike Santana day viewing on the main roster and joining 946.
23:29.375 --> 23:35.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce Pritchard retiring and Sean Michaels taking his spot on the main roster.
23:36.017 --> 23:37.018
[SPEAKER_00]: What that means?
23:38.560 --> 23:43.563
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a follow-up report saying that all of that story was not true whatsoever.
23:43.603 --> 23:44.684
[SPEAKER_00]: I call bullshit on that.
23:46.445 --> 23:48.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about the John Cena Classic.
23:49.883 --> 23:56.247

26:42.279 --> 26:43.220
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about this now.
26:43.260 --> 26:44.481
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll pull it up on my iPad.
26:45.201 --> 26:46.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently Chad is saying,
26:55.272 --> 26:56.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's get into this.
26:56.273 --> 26:58.934
[SPEAKER_00]: This is coming from the sites.
27:00.075 --> 27:06.099
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm already reportedly signs with WWE could be headed to NXT.
27:10.502 --> 27:11.722
[SPEAKER_00]: The real sky in the room.
27:11.762 --> 27:12.403
[SPEAKER_00]: How you doing?
27:14.192 --> 27:20.755
[SPEAKER_00]: He may be back in WWE, there's belief that Nso Amore has signed with the company over the last week, according to PWInsider Elite.
27:21.475 --> 27:25.357
[SPEAKER_00]: That has a paid subscription by Mike Johnson, a PWInsider.
27:25.397 --> 27:35.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Johnson was also the one that broke the news about Sean Michael's taking Bruce Prychard spot on the main roster and Bruce is retiring after WrestleMania 43.
27:36.362 --> 27:40.844
[SPEAKER_00]: It was then on fight full in a follow up by Sean Rossette.
27:41.464 --> 27:44.647
[SPEAKER_00]: that's none of this was apparently true.
27:45.468 --> 27:46.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I call bullshit.
27:48.190 --> 27:49.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I call bullshit.
27:49.911 --> 28:00.340
[SPEAKER_00]: All you are watching right now when you get one site putting out a story and then sap and fight full putting out a story both of which were behind to pay wall by the way.
28:02.342 --> 28:04.924
[SPEAKER_00]: You're watching dirt sheet wars.
28:12.221 --> 28:18.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Sapp only put that out there, and I'm not saying anything negatively about Sapp, okay?
28:20.444 --> 28:26.206
[SPEAKER_00]: Sapp only put that out there, fightfully put that out there because they want to be the ones to get the story right.
28:28.026 --> 28:33.028
[SPEAKER_00]: Secondly, WWE got spooked, they got scared.
28:39.155 --> 28:46.680
[SPEAKER_00]: that they had to put out a follow-up, through fightful, and fan the flames of the truth that my Johnson put out there.
28:47.541 --> 28:59.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I said on TNT last night, if my Johnson who, more than likely, got his sources double and triple checked, why would my Johnson put out a report?
29:00.690 --> 29:03.872
[SPEAKER_00]: If none of it was true, we're not true.
29:06.029 --> 29:13.330
[SPEAKER_00]: My Johnson put that out because he had double and triple sourced his fucking information and then put it out because he believes it to be true.
29:14.631 --> 29:16.851
[SPEAKER_00]: If it wasn't true, my Johnson wouldn't have put it out.
29:18.611 --> 29:19.732
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't operate that way.
29:19.752 --> 29:20.172
[SPEAKER_00]: P.W.
29:20.212 --> 29:27.053
[SPEAKER_00]: and Sotter, especially on the elite side of things, we got to pay to get some type of news, especially news like that.
29:28.473 --> 29:31.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand why he would put that out if it wasn't the case.
29:33.006 --> 29:36.489
[SPEAKER_00]: So WW had nobody else to go to because everybody else or fucking hacks.
29:37.189 --> 29:41.312
[SPEAKER_00]: So they went with the next credible source and that was fightful and they wanted to fan the flames.
29:41.732 --> 29:44.114
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce Pritchard is absolutely retiring.
29:45.015 --> 29:45.975
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it tells me.
29:46.856 --> 29:50.999
[SPEAKER_00]: The report that my Johnson put out hit a little bit too close to home.
29:53.301 --> 29:54.762
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter who got it first.
29:55.002 --> 29:56.323
[SPEAKER_00]: It matters who got it right.
29:57.505 --> 30:01.567
[SPEAKER_00]: But in this case, my Johnson got it right, sap wants to be right.
30:01.987 --> 30:04.548
[SPEAKER_00]: So he puts out a report claiming that it's not true.
30:06.649 --> 30:07.409
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll see.
30:08.750 --> 30:09.510
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll see.
30:10.791 --> 30:13.452
[SPEAKER_00]: If Bruce is not there, that's a big seat to fill.
30:13.472 --> 30:17.254
[SPEAKER_00]: That's 40 years of fucking Bruce Pritchard in WWE.
30:19.194 --> 30:22.396
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not gonna leave that seat empty.
30:23.336 --> 30:24.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone's gonna fill into that spot.
30:26.196 --> 30:30.819
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's already been reported that Bobby Rude is already being groomed to take Michael Hayes spot.
30:31.359 --> 30:33.040
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not Bruce Pritchard spot.
30:34.261 --> 30:36.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Rude is not taking Bruce Pritchard spot.
30:36.823 --> 30:41.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Rude is being groomed to take Michael Hayes spot.
30:42.486 --> 30:44.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So who exactly is taking Bruce Pritchard spot?
30:46.609 --> 30:50.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruce Pritchard is going to work at 100% working remotely from home.
30:51.151 --> 30:51.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
30:53.024 --> 30:54.945
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna need somebody with their wits about them.
30:54.965 --> 30:56.405
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna need somebody that's involved.
30:56.425 --> 30:58.065
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna need somebody that's there.
30:59.086 --> 31:11.989
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right if Bruce wants the fucking be on the call whether it's Zoom or fucking what's app or wherever they do their weekly fucking meetings signal or whatever.
31:13.729 --> 31:15.390
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right for him to be a consultant.
31:16.750 --> 31:26.399
[SPEAKER_00]: But for someone to sit in that chair and be creative and an executive director of creative and talent, who's going to fill that spot?
31:27.360 --> 31:34.206
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nobody that is ready for the role outside of the name that was reported and that was Shawn Michaels.
31:44.063 --> 31:50.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Big cast returned to WWE on August 3rd in Iowa, then I'd have to sonress land by attacking Javan Evans.
31:52.048 --> 31:53.529
[SPEAKER_00]: And so did not return with him.
31:55.950 --> 32:12.721
[SPEAKER_00]: And so in Big cast teams in NXT and then on the main roster, there were the most popular tag team in all of WWE in NXT and when they got to the main roster on the main roster, their entrance and their just presentation was the most popular act in the entire company.
32:14.196 --> 32:21.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Big cast and turned on Enzo in 2017 because Vince McMahon wanted to push big colon Cassidy.
32:23.179 --> 32:37.543
[SPEAKER_00]: When he wasn't ready for it, Enzo went to two or five live to win the Cruiserweight Championship, which was an utter embarrassment for the brand, which nobody really thought was right for two or five live.
32:38.961 --> 32:42.083
[SPEAKER_00]: At that time, also, Enzo had a lot of backstage heat.
32:42.463 --> 32:43.784
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't really know what to do with him.
32:44.144 --> 32:48.767
[SPEAKER_00]: So instead of cutting their losses in wasting Enzo, they figured let's put him on two or five live.
32:48.787 --> 32:51.989
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if he could swim over onto a five live.
32:54.931 --> 32:57.552
[SPEAKER_00]: That's unclear what WWE plans to do with Enzo.
32:58.993 --> 33:00.995
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know if they're gonna pair Enzo and Cass again.
33:01.015 --> 33:02.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, big Cass is,
33:04.017 --> 33:09.278
[SPEAKER_00]: in a soft partnership with Ethan Page as he battles the luches on Monday and out raw.
33:10.118 --> 33:11.138
[SPEAKER_00]: He's working as a heel.
33:11.819 --> 33:13.099
[SPEAKER_00]: He could turn baby face.
33:13.279 --> 33:14.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not out of the wrong with possibility.
33:15.519 --> 33:18.540
[SPEAKER_00]: They could bring in so when is a heel to work alongside big casts.
33:18.680 --> 33:24.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how well that'll work, but I mean, treasure things have happened or end so it could be a solo act.
33:24.901 --> 33:29.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Get his feet wet in an X thing and get called up to the main roster like Mike Santana didn't three or four months.
33:34.268 --> 33:39.772
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one thing that people pitched is Enzo coming in to be big castes manager on the main roster.
33:41.473 --> 33:43.554
[SPEAKER_00]: With WWE bringing big cast.
33:44.975 --> 33:52.901
[SPEAKER_00]: Operate him as a solo and then bring in Enzo to be his manager is that really using the talents wisely of Enzo more.
33:54.682 --> 33:55.783
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really sure about that.
33:56.023 --> 33:58.325
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's got the microphone skills to be a manager.
33:59.486 --> 34:01.307
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the microphone skills to get heat.
34:03.222 --> 34:05.283
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be weird seeing him operate as a heel.
34:06.403 --> 34:13.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I think someone like that coming back and doing the old stick is money being left on the table to be quite honest with you.
34:14.486 --> 34:17.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Money is to be made with big cast and end zone was a tag team.
34:17.988 --> 34:20.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you get into the discussion about where is the tag team division?
34:21.369 --> 34:24.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it would be best if end zone, manage big cast.
34:25.230 --> 34:27.471
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they're a tag team, where are they going?
34:27.711 --> 34:28.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are they working with?
34:28.932 --> 34:31.973
[SPEAKER_00]: The tag team division in WWE is other dog shit.
34:33.171 --> 34:34.912
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't even call it a fucking division.
34:34.993 --> 34:38.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more like a fucking absolute wasteland.
34:39.977 --> 34:41.278
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a dumpster fire.
34:43.199 --> 34:45.261
[SPEAKER_00]: I could probably count on one hand.
34:45.301 --> 34:47.182
[SPEAKER_00]: How many fucking teams are in bulk divisions?
34:50.285 --> 34:54.688
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll take a couple of seconds to even think about who the fucking tank team champions are on bulk shows.
34:55.229 --> 34:56.590
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how insignificant they are.
34:59.189 --> 35:00.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know what you guys think about that.
35:00.790 --> 35:03.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you think Enzo fits in best?
35:04.392 --> 35:05.613
[SPEAKER_00]: Where does Enzo fit in best?
35:08.515 --> 35:11.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe WWE wants to test zero.
35:11.277 --> 35:16.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, zero, Kibba in the chat says, I think WWE wants to test the waters with him in NXT first.
35:16.780 --> 35:19.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the best thing to do, honestly.
35:21.043 --> 35:22.484
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the better options to do.
35:22.844 --> 35:27.647
[SPEAKER_00]: That crowd, they'll let you know if they don't like you and they'll let you know if they do.
35:28.818 --> 35:31.019
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think ends up will be embraced, no matter what.
35:31.839 --> 35:32.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Enough time has passed.
35:33.140 --> 35:34.180
[SPEAKER_00]: He was proven innocent.
35:34.260 --> 35:40.282
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the smart people will certainly get on board in understanding that.
35:43.223 --> 35:44.504
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting into this show tonight.
35:46.444 --> 35:49.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Start things off at the top.
35:52.586 --> 35:56.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Chad Gable, right Phoenix, and Dragon Lee against vanity project.
35:59.153 --> 36:01.314
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Ricky smokes out there.
36:02.414 --> 36:05.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Brad Baylor and Jackson Drake.
36:07.616 --> 36:09.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a big fan of Vanity Project, man.
36:10.077 --> 36:10.617
[SPEAKER_00]: I really am.
36:10.677 --> 36:17.459
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really get the lockwood pairing.
36:19.260 --> 36:22.801
[SPEAKER_00]: She's from WWE LFG.
36:23.722 --> 36:27.123
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she was one of the undertakers students on the show.
36:28.138 --> 36:31.260
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really get what she brings to the table there.
36:31.520 --> 36:34.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you guys want to fill me in on why she's there?
36:36.903 --> 36:37.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is she?
36:37.563 --> 36:38.584
[SPEAKER_00]: What is she doing there?
36:38.704 --> 36:41.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Is she a integral part of the act?
36:43.266 --> 36:43.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is she?
36:46.868 --> 36:48.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Lockwood is her name.
36:51.090 --> 36:56.653
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if they really want to make the stereotypical vanity project,
36:59.359 --> 36:59.699
[SPEAKER_00]: work.
37:00.679 --> 37:06.741
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess adding someone like that, kind of, uh, seals the deal on.
37:07.842 --> 37:11.623
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it's like these, uh, what do they call them?
37:11.743 --> 37:13.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, smaxing streamers?
37:14.764 --> 37:19.665
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that fucking guy that that pretty boy, uh, government plant, whatever the fuck is name is.
37:19.905 --> 37:22.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Klovacular or whatever the fuck is name is.
37:23.106 --> 37:24.287
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in real life streamers.
37:24.807 --> 37:25.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He hooks up with
37:28.769 --> 37:32.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single night he's having a fucking rave in a party a pool party here.
37:32.231 --> 37:35.492
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a fucking club over there He's doing drugs over here.
37:35.532 --> 37:40.355
[SPEAKER_00]: He's fucking drinking alcohol and getting completely plastered off a fucking my tie over here.
37:41.155 --> 37:43.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what the whole the whole vibe is here?
37:44.837 --> 37:45.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that is that it?
37:46.278 --> 37:48.039
[SPEAKER_00]: I get that she's an enforcer, but what?
37:49.279 --> 37:51.861
[SPEAKER_00]: What is like does she wrestle?
37:53.121 --> 37:54.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, she just muscle
37:56.787 --> 38:00.328
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess it works because it's so against what the vanity project really is.
38:00.368 --> 38:04.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're three pretty boys in the you got her standing there.
38:05.649 --> 38:08.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming that's the whole of the whole thing about this act.
38:12.431 --> 38:13.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Nick Wayne.
38:13.331 --> 38:15.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Wayne is now a kick streamer.
38:15.211 --> 38:17.772
[SPEAKER_00]: His new, his new gimmick is like he's a kick streamer.
38:17.832 --> 38:20.673
[SPEAKER_00]: He's out there doing, uh, clavacular things, right?
38:21.693 --> 38:21.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
38:23.632 --> 38:29.058
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE's creative is such in the fucking mud that they're now ripping off fucking looks maxing streamers.
38:30.519 --> 38:31.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Colombe Shocked.
38:34.503 --> 38:35.925
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got this six man tag.
38:35.945 --> 38:41.070
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the very definition of what you're going to get with the Johnson and Classic.
38:42.711 --> 38:44.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Three machines versus three upcoming
38:45.653 --> 38:47.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Studds on the NXT roster.
38:47.575 --> 38:49.297
[SPEAKER_00]: My value project is very good.
38:49.317 --> 38:53.101
[SPEAKER_00]: May I take team champions and then you got the North American champion there.
38:53.902 --> 38:54.843
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got all the gold.
38:56.204 --> 38:56.945
[SPEAKER_00]: They got all the gold.
38:58.535 --> 39:07.937
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jackson Drake and Chad Gable started, Gable quickly takes out Drake, he fires back those Drake with some elbows, got in Gable's face, shoved him down to the mat.
39:08.458 --> 39:13.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable just lost the intercontinental championship on Monday, he's back in Orlando on Wednesday.
39:13.619 --> 39:17.400
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the Kinesia tape, so we still sell on the shoulder, and the neck.
39:19.590 --> 39:20.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody else gets involved.
39:20.891 --> 39:40.461
[SPEAKER_00]: They dump each other to the floor and then they go back into the ring and all six guys have a stare down Balor and smokes pulled drag and lead out of the ring Ray Finix took both of them down on the big high cross body off the top rope to the floor and we go into a commercial break Jackson Drake and Ricky smokes
39:41.892 --> 40:06.103
[SPEAKER_00]: isolated phoenix down here I mean rumors right now I don't really metal on these people's personal lies but I did see a picture I do believe that so ruka is no longer with Tyler bait I believe so ruka is now with Ricky smokes Ricky smokes probably got some some game huh good for him he's living life man
40:07.951 --> 40:11.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Champion on NXT and then he's got Soul Rooket to go home to what a guy.
40:13.476 --> 40:20.101
[SPEAKER_00]: So Ricky smokes, Baylor tags out to smokes, helps end Gable crashing down on the spine buster.
40:21.603 --> 40:28.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Drake hit a springboard moonsault landing with both feet on Gable's chest, which look fucking great.
40:29.049 --> 40:31.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Super athletic is Jackson Drake.
40:33.112 --> 40:33.433
[SPEAKER_00]: Captain
40:36.267 --> 40:50.799
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Baylor tagged in, we get a backstage for whatever reason they show Mike Santana talking to Mike Chandler, who is the official for that match with the on Linux.
40:50.999 --> 40:55.663
[SPEAKER_00]: We get a little picture and picture split screen with them talking in the back while the action's happening in the ring.
40:56.930 --> 40:57.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Baylor tags in.
40:58.631 --> 41:01.332
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable hits a double underhook belly to belly, soup, Lexine.
41:01.352 --> 41:04.433
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called Baylor with a kick off the top rope from your fall.
41:05.113 --> 41:08.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Baylor comes back answers with a shoulderbreaker to Chad Gable.
41:08.255 --> 41:09.275
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable then comes back.
41:09.315 --> 41:12.877
[SPEAKER_00]: Soup Lex is Ricky smokes into Baylor on the ropes.
41:13.437 --> 41:15.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Lee pulled Baylor down.
41:16.158 --> 41:18.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Match breaks into chaos here.
41:18.459 --> 41:20.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable lock Drake in the ankle lock.
41:21.401 --> 41:33.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Lee hit Baylor with a sidewalk slam and Ray Phoenix put Ricky smokes in a torture rack for the win lead covered for the pin.
41:33.648 --> 41:35.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Gable Phoenix and Dragon Lee get the victory.
41:37.630 --> 41:38.511
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was basically it.
41:38.531 --> 41:39.431
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a fun match.
41:39.571 --> 41:43.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, this is exactly what you're going to see with the Johnson classic.
41:46.987 --> 41:51.831
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if John Cena is going to choose one of those guys to be in the John Cena classic.
41:51.911 --> 41:54.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be shocked if one of them does not make it in there.
41:55.114 --> 41:56.355
[SPEAKER_00]: There are three studs, man.
41:56.836 --> 42:01.160
[SPEAKER_00]: And to be honest with you, man, to see them rise to where they are on NXT.
42:01.180 --> 42:10.308
[SPEAKER_00]: They were on, I don't know if they were on LFG, but they start off and evolve as relative unknowns with this cheesy gimmick.
42:11.338 --> 42:12.558
[SPEAKER_00]: And you see where they are now.
42:12.598 --> 42:17.560
[SPEAKER_00]: You see how the process is working very clearly with the vanity project.
42:19.100 --> 42:19.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.
42:19.581 --> 42:20.921
[SPEAKER_00]: I like all three of those guys, man.
42:21.001 --> 42:22.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Big things in store for those guys.
42:23.442 --> 42:28.323
[SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately, they wrestle three machines in Gable Lee and Phoenix.
42:29.123 --> 42:31.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Laws here, fun six man tag to open this show.
42:34.345 --> 42:34.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Backstage.
42:35.665 --> 42:40.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Punk was seen chatting with Shilohill, who was on LFG.
42:42.498 --> 42:44.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched some of Halloween havoc.
42:44.459 --> 42:46.320
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a deplorable program.
42:47.360 --> 42:48.621
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't fun at all.
42:49.622 --> 42:50.622
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd family over.
42:50.762 --> 42:54.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I snuck away just simply to watch Zilla Fattu, Russell Charlie, Dempsey.
42:54.904 --> 42:56.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really care about anything else.
42:57.185 --> 42:59.987
[SPEAKER_00]: So I waited till they wrestled and then after that I shut it off.
43:00.728 --> 43:18.912
[SPEAKER_00]: But I did see some of Shilohill and Naraku and they speak yellow mist in each other's face and then they got teleported to some fucking cheesy fun house where Dave Meltzer said that both Naraku and Shilohill and whatever they did on that Halloween have a grew in the
43:30.876 --> 43:54.882
[SPEAKER_00]: it wasn't a good show at the start and by the end of it nobody was saying it was a good show when it was over no but let's blame Shilo Hill and Noraku so Sam punk was talking about the yellow mist I don't want to be spit with yellow mist red mist blue mist green mist Shilo Hill was talking about he didn't know how dangerous the yellow mist was
43:58.002 --> 44:05.789
[SPEAKER_00]: So Shailah, who's telling them that he's looked up to him, he's kind of modeled his career after him, he finds influence in him.
44:08.832 --> 44:10.393
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says, go and be Grayson Wall.
44:10.413 --> 44:11.874
[SPEAKER_00]: When you do, I want the first shot.
44:12.455 --> 44:21.123
[SPEAKER_00]: So seeing a punk is being nice to him, saying that Shailah, who has got a good future, bright future, he's like, I guess he called him some sort of crazy.
44:22.085 --> 44:24.125
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're crazy, man, you're kind of special.
44:24.846 --> 44:27.326
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he's like, God, I think we can make some money.
44:28.026 --> 44:33.987
[SPEAKER_00]: In walks, grace and water, he welcomed him to NXT.
44:35.068 --> 44:38.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says, bro, you're challenged in the wrong champion.
44:39.449 --> 44:40.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm not losing this.
44:41.489 --> 44:43.950
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way I'm leaving this building without this championship.
44:45.990 --> 44:46.570
[SPEAKER_00]: So he leaves.
44:47.490 --> 44:48.611
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, this is his house.
44:53.233 --> 44:55.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Tim Punk says, yeah, I'm going to wipe my feet all over your face.
44:59.678 --> 45:00.399
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, he joined.
45:02.040 --> 45:03.801
[SPEAKER_00]: She went one on one with a mystery opponent.
45:04.762 --> 45:06.784
[SPEAKER_00]: A mystery opponent ended up being paid.
45:08.425 --> 45:13.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Page, this was her first NXT appearance in over 10 years.
45:15.370 --> 45:18.113
[SPEAKER_00]: Page has won the NXT Women's Championship.
45:18.900 --> 45:22.442
[SPEAKER_00]: You all know what happened to that championship back in 2013.
45:23.182 --> 45:27.505
[SPEAKER_00]: First time page has been back in NXT in well over a decade.
45:28.305 --> 45:31.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hearing rumors that Colony May and the Wrestling EO.
45:31.287 --> 45:34.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Now if they wanted to go with the match, that would have been much better.
45:34.489 --> 45:36.089
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have been EO and Colony Jordan.
45:36.109 --> 45:37.570
[SPEAKER_00]: That would have fucking been great.
45:37.950 --> 45:38.731
[SPEAKER_00]: It's given the time.
45:40.109 --> 45:42.911
[SPEAKER_00]: what they chose page, I could see why they chose page.
45:43.151 --> 45:44.512
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got history in NXT.
45:44.692 --> 45:48.495
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the first time that she's been back here since she's come back to the WWE.
45:48.895 --> 45:50.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is where she was raised.
45:50.256 --> 45:52.058
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where she was born, right?
45:52.338 --> 45:54.920
[SPEAKER_00]: The anti-deva was born in NXT.
45:54.940 --> 45:55.740
[SPEAKER_00]: So it all made sense.
45:56.381 --> 45:58.022
[SPEAKER_00]: It all made sense.
45:58.042 --> 45:59.463
[SPEAKER_00]: The match itself was what I've remained.
45:59.523 --> 46:05.007
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you are not looking at page as she was over 10 years ago.
46:05.796 --> 46:07.197
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not page of 2013.
46:07.237 --> 46:16.624
[SPEAKER_00]: This is page who is, I don't want to say, she's incapable of doing what she did back in the day.
46:17.624 --> 46:19.906
[SPEAKER_00]: But she certainly doesn't wrestle like page of old.
46:21.287 --> 46:22.528
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a hunger.
46:22.828 --> 46:24.529
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a ferocity.
46:24.629 --> 46:29.393
[SPEAKER_00]: There's an intensity that is missing from this current version of page.
46:30.193 --> 46:32.515
[SPEAKER_00]: This current version of page is just there.
46:37.001 --> 46:40.343
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got her role, she fits that role, and that's it.
46:41.363 --> 46:42.604
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not going anywhere else.
46:43.804 --> 46:47.346
[SPEAKER_00]: And WWE doesn't really have any use for her outside of what she's doing now.
46:48.767 --> 46:58.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Getting younger talent over, Blake Monroe on the main roster, Colony Jordan here, really nothing to cry home about.
46:58.612 --> 47:00.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think she's had one good match, and she's been back.
47:00.893 --> 47:02.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything's been very, very forgettable.
47:06.374 --> 47:07.314
[SPEAKER_00]: So the bell rings here.
47:08.115 --> 47:15.037
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, this is another one of those matches that you are going to watch and really get a sense for what the Johnson class is going to be.
47:15.357 --> 47:23.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I don't know if there's going to be women competing in the Johnson and Classic, but if there is, Kalani Jordan should absolutely be a part of that.
47:24.280 --> 47:25.301
[SPEAKER_00]: 100% or Kendall Gray.
47:26.001 --> 47:35.104
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, my choice is Kendall Gray, but absolutely, there should be, I said this on, I said this on TNT last night.
47:36.708 --> 47:48.652
[SPEAKER_00]: If you wanted this thing to really be special, if you wanted the Johnson Eclacic to be special, they should have been qualifying matches made by Cena himself.
47:49.972 --> 47:52.313
[SPEAKER_00]: That takes place across the month of November.
47:53.413 --> 48:04.737
[SPEAKER_00]: And when we get to December 14th, we have four people qualified, a May roster star, and an NXT star, a May roster star, and an NXT star, two and two.
48:05.966 --> 48:19.949
[SPEAKER_00]: And we get two quarter final matches or two semi final matches, which leads to a final match and the voting, whether you want to add the voting or omit the voting, I would have went a little bit more of a traditional route.
48:19.989 --> 48:22.109
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have made this into a tournament.
48:22.910 --> 48:24.810
[SPEAKER_00]: No voting.
48:25.030 --> 48:29.431
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE wanted the voting for whatever reason, just to pedal the WWE club app.
48:30.731 --> 48:34.072
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have had two semi final matches after a series of qualifying matches,
48:35.089 --> 48:41.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Three men's matches, which is two quarter finals in one final, and then the same thing for the women.
48:41.911 --> 48:43.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Two semi-final matches and one final.
48:44.671 --> 48:48.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Three men's matches, three women's matches across a three-hour raw.
48:48.912 --> 48:50.673
[SPEAKER_00]: More than doable.
48:52.273 --> 48:56.514
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have given the television shows leading up a little bit more of an important feel.
48:57.465 --> 49:13.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Qualifying matches for the Johnson and classic a mix of NXT and May roster stars only time of the year you get to see this type of action with NXT mixing it up with the main roster That's the way I would have did it The simple approach is the best approach.
49:14.317 --> 49:24.625
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't we got any idea what this is going to Do how this is going to work how the voting is going to look what they're voting on are they voting on the winners and losers?
49:24.925 --> 49:26.006
[SPEAKER_00]: Are they voting mid match?
49:27.452 --> 49:29.354
[SPEAKER_00]: Are there going to be categories to vote on?
49:31.035 --> 49:32.937
[SPEAKER_00]: How are people going to cast their vote?
49:34.878 --> 49:42.164
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of questions outside of what this format's going to be, which apparently Joe Tessator, I'll Monday said it's going to be a bunch of matches and fans will vote.
49:44.586 --> 49:48.650
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to go into a little bit more detail about what this is going to mean.
49:49.845 --> 49:57.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Colonial Jordan page is going to be basically what you get out of the Johnson of Classic, we just don't know if there's going to be women involved in this thing yet.
49:57.610 --> 50:14.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Bell rang, Jordan cut page off with a low cross body, page comes back to head bots, big knees, she sent colony to the outside, wiped her out with a big cannonball off the apron at rolling sent on that she does off the apron that looks very weak.
50:15.641 --> 50:16.642
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to a commercial.
50:17.855 --> 50:23.097
[SPEAKER_00]: Clawney fires some of these right back at page in her face page turns it around.
50:23.137 --> 50:27.338
[SPEAKER_00]: They trade four arms pages a double untohook suplex page.
50:27.478 --> 50:46.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Turner goes for eight near fall, Jordan kicked out roll to the apron page pulled Jordan back into a roll up Jordan escaped and locked in a cross face Jordan went for the one of a kind split like it moonsault that she clearly found influence from RVD.
50:47.487 --> 50:48.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Paige got her knees up.
50:49.469 --> 50:53.532
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, I don't know if she got her knees up, but if she did she missed.
50:54.673 --> 50:57.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Paige got her knees up, set up for the rampage.
50:58.316 --> 51:01.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan counted that into a roll up, very anti-climactic victory.
51:02.038 --> 51:08.444
[SPEAKER_00]: It went from rampage, roll up, one, two, three, and page in typical page fashion looks there.
51:09.004 --> 51:09.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Shocked.
51:10.925 --> 51:12.367
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe I lost.
51:17.224 --> 51:21.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Kalani Jordan wins, and she's still the NXT women's champion.
51:24.688 --> 51:25.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for coming, I guess.
51:28.590 --> 51:29.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Backstage.
51:30.551 --> 51:36.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Sol Ruka, Ren Sinclair, Kendall Gray and Izzy Dame are all talking in the backstage.
51:37.595 --> 51:38.736
[SPEAKER_00]: It's nice to see Sol Ruka.
51:38.776 --> 51:40.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad to see that she's still alive.
51:41.057 --> 51:42.338
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't seen her on the main roster.
51:42.358 --> 51:44.699
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't seen her on Raw since money in the bank.
51:45.479 --> 51:46.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing with Old Bethemi.
51:48.038 --> 51:51.821
[SPEAKER_00]: So Rooka stopped by the locker room and gave Rensen Claire and Kendall Gray a pep talk.
51:53.682 --> 51:55.463
[SPEAKER_00]: They wanted to know why she was there.
51:55.544 --> 52:01.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently, so Rooka said, Zarya, X starts to come for a chat, yet we didn't see Zarya on this show.
52:01.708 --> 52:02.368
[SPEAKER_00]: What's so ever?
52:02.849 --> 52:04.250
[SPEAKER_00]: No where to be found was Ari.
52:06.131 --> 52:09.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Gray said Jordan will lose the belts sooner than later.
52:10.895 --> 52:13.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Or the belt sooner than later.
52:14.798 --> 52:16.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Rensen Claire, X, what brought Ruka?
52:17.673 --> 52:44.494
[SPEAKER_00]: to NXT on, Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, she said, sorry, extra to come, but no, Zarya, is he Dame walks in and said it was actually her who texted Zarya's former friend, Solruca, which led to a back and forth between is he Damon, Rensen Claire, and that match was set up
52:47.903 --> 52:56.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he named by the way, beat Zarya in an on-title match at Halloween Havix, or Missuming wool, be getting that North American women's championship match relatively soon.
52:58.553 --> 53:04.018
[SPEAKER_00]: When we're, I don't know, let me save it for the next paper of you.
53:04.318 --> 53:07.020
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE Dusty Rhodes, tag team classic.
53:08.462 --> 53:12.946
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the finals of the Dusty Rhodes tag team classic.
53:14.545 --> 53:20.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we have the tournament taking place.
53:21.727 --> 53:25.969
[SPEAKER_00]: There were a bunch of matches here.
53:25.989 --> 53:29.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there were a lot of teams in this from multiple promotions.
53:29.210 --> 53:34.231
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there was AAA teams, May roster teams, and NXT teams.
53:34.911 --> 53:36.632
[SPEAKER_00]: They really wanted to fill this thing out.
53:37.577 --> 53:43.380
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna look, because I didn't do my due diligence and pull up the dusty classic.
53:43.520 --> 53:51.524
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanna look up the dusty classic and what the matches were this year.
53:54.030 --> 54:11.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what the matches were this year because I said on TNT last night that the tournament was not anything close to what we were we're getting back in the day during the good
54:22.048 --> 54:47.374
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... the classic was announced on September 15th it began on September 22nd fourteen teams from raw smacked down nxd any valve as well as lucha underground so that was yeah that was uh... that was basically what we got here i'm trying to find the brackets give me a second
54:49.467 --> 55:18.530
[SPEAKER_00]: want to see what the tag team let's see the dusty tag team classic brackets this is from ww.com all right here we go uh... so we had as i get an advertisement on ww dot com of course i do so we had your riot counters and stacks who are part of the birthright on nxd uh... they lost too many the kingo and star boy charlie
55:19.883 --> 55:22.644
[SPEAKER_00]: who's Chaz Hall in WWE.
55:24.004 --> 55:25.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I quite like the name Starboy Charlie.
55:26.884 --> 55:29.385
[SPEAKER_00]: He's on Evolve, really, really good high flyer.
55:29.965 --> 55:31.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Fraccium beat Dark State.
55:33.466 --> 55:40.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we had no M-Dar and Romeo Moreno against Los Americanos.
55:41.547 --> 55:44.088
[SPEAKER_00]: And no M-Dar and Romeo advanced.
55:45.028 --> 55:46.028
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got
55:48.640 --> 55:54.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Vanity Project apparently got a buy in the tournament because they had to take team champions.
55:54.122 --> 55:55.102
[SPEAKER_00]: They were in the tournament.
55:56.283 --> 55:59.344
[SPEAKER_00]: So they wrestled many of the can go and star boy Charlie.
55:59.384 --> 56:03.305
[SPEAKER_00]: They beat them and they went to the semi finals.
56:04.025 --> 56:05.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got no M.D.
56:05.126 --> 56:14.429
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo Ramero, Marino beating Fraxium and they went on to wrestle Vanity Project in the finals on the left side of the bracket.
56:15.436 --> 56:17.897
[SPEAKER_00]: where they sell my finals on the left side of the bracket on the other side.
56:18.277 --> 56:23.060
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Tokyo bad boys against Lexus King and Charlie Dempsey.
56:24.420 --> 56:26.421
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're also a part of the birthright as well.
56:26.541 --> 56:28.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Lexus and Charlie got the wind there.
56:30.083 --> 56:35.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Wagner, Jr. and Galenow were misooming are the Triple A tag team champions.
56:35.425 --> 56:36.746
[SPEAKER_00]: So they also got a buy.
56:38.267 --> 56:39.567
[SPEAKER_00]: They went right to the next round.
56:41.008 --> 56:43.089
[SPEAKER_00]: The creed brothers competed in this thing.
56:43.129 --> 56:43.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
56:46.043 --> 56:50.946
[SPEAKER_00]: They be Harley-Riggins and Jack's Presley.
56:53.347 --> 56:55.449
[SPEAKER_00]: No fucking clue who any of those guys are.
56:56.509 --> 57:05.294
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got the win there and then we got Shito Ash and Victor Zanoth against Hank and Tank.
57:07.095 --> 57:09.617
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to the dusty classic is what I'm asking?
57:10.452 --> 57:23.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Hank and tank off the wind and then they beat the creed brothers that Hank and tank they go to the finals on the right side of the semi finals on the right side and then we got Wagner Jr. Angolano beating Lexus K and Charlie Dempsey they go to Russell Hank and tank.
57:24.201 --> 57:26.022
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have family project, no M.D.R.
57:26.062 --> 57:31.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Romeo Moreno, Hank and tank and then Wagner Jr. Angolano.
57:32.116 --> 57:36.758
[SPEAKER_00]: So Hank and Tank, they went over the Shribleite team and then no M.D.
57:36.818 --> 57:42.941
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo Moreno actually beat the tank team champions, vanity project, and they go to the finals.
57:42.961 --> 57:44.621
[SPEAKER_00]: So tonight's finals was no M.D.
57:44.661 --> 57:46.422
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo Moreno against Hank and Tank.
57:47.683 --> 57:49.223
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was this year's Dusty Classic.
57:49.243 --> 57:54.145
[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys are un-un-un-un-used, we're asking who, who?
57:55.206 --> 57:57.927
[SPEAKER_00]: For a lot of those guys, I don't really blame you.
58:00.371 --> 58:02.673
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to the dusty tag team classics?
58:02.693 --> 58:06.535
[SPEAKER_00]: What I want to know, I'm a big fan of Hank and tank man.
58:06.575 --> 58:08.176
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think those guys are great.
58:08.216 --> 58:10.838
[SPEAKER_00]: They are really fun to watch.
58:10.918 --> 58:11.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember match.
58:11.879 --> 58:17.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how long ago they wrestled fraxium at a PLA man.
58:17.163 --> 58:18.083
[SPEAKER_00]: That was fucking great.
58:19.404 --> 58:21.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really great stuff man.
58:21.405 --> 58:25.048
[SPEAKER_00]: I might have been a stand in the letter if I'm not mistaken.
58:26.190 --> 58:53.680
[SPEAKER_00]: really great stuff there uh... hank walker and tank ledger no im door is still employed i was surprised to see that man i don't know what his fucking magic is but he seemingly has survived budget cut after budget cut after budget cut crazy so walker and marina this was my first time getting a glimpse of romio marino man he's pretty fucking talented
58:54.520 --> 58:56.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Kid can move in there.
58:56.902 --> 59:00.965
[SPEAKER_00]: No M. Dars are good technical wrestler, but Romeo was really good, man.
59:01.925 --> 59:04.407
[SPEAKER_00]: For the first time watching him in, I thought he was really good.
59:04.447 --> 59:05.848
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was the MVP of this match.
59:05.868 --> 59:08.430
[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be quite honest with you.
59:08.470 --> 59:09.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Walker and Marino started.
59:09.631 --> 59:10.832
[SPEAKER_00]: They locked up after the bell.
59:10.892 --> 59:15.015
[SPEAKER_00]: No M. And Walker, they get in there.
59:15.075 --> 59:15.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Dark Tugs in.
59:16.396 --> 59:17.817
[SPEAKER_00]: And so does Hank.
59:18.697 --> 59:20.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Dar got a quick penitempt on Hank.
59:21.938 --> 59:22.699
[SPEAKER_00]: and he kicked out.
59:23.340 --> 59:28.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Tank, drag, jar into the middle of the ring and hit a frog splash from the top row.
59:29.507 --> 59:40.180
[SPEAKER_00]: Hank, he looked for a big aerial attack here, but no one in dark called him in a triangle, choke wall, Romeo trapped tank in a commoral lock.
59:41.415 --> 59:55.659
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get Hank powering out with a sit-out power bomb on no M-DAR, and then we get Hank escaping with a vertical suplex, all four are trading blows in the middle of the ring, things break down, and we go into a commercial break.
59:58.960 --> 01:00:03.802
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get Hank sending Romeo over the announced desk, he tags in tank.
01:00:05.080 --> 01:00:09.902
[SPEAKER_00]: They went to double team, no M-DAR, but Romeo stepped in to save no M-DAR.
01:00:10.623 --> 01:00:21.247
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get Hank then with Tank, regrouping, they hit a double neck breaker, followed by a close line and a double spinning kick combination.
01:00:23.808 --> 01:00:31.292
[SPEAKER_00]: In the end of this thing, Romeo with a lot of offense here ended up pinning Tank and no M-DAR
01:00:37.804 --> 01:00:40.135
[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised to see them when they take Team Classic.
01:00:40.216 --> 01:00:42.265
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were absolutely going to give it to Hank and Tank.
01:00:43.245 --> 01:00:44.906
[SPEAKER_00]: But Cody Rhodes came out there.
01:00:45.426 --> 01:00:46.366
[SPEAKER_00]: He got an entrance.
01:00:46.866 --> 01:00:48.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He went to go sit by commentary.
01:00:48.447 --> 01:00:51.588
[SPEAKER_00]: He did color commentary for this match after no M.D.R.
01:00:51.648 --> 01:00:52.588
[SPEAKER_00]: and Romeo one.
01:00:53.009 --> 01:00:59.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody gets to the Isleway and presents them with the dusty roads tag team classic trophy.
01:01:00.451 --> 01:01:10.835
[SPEAKER_00]: And he told both of them that Robert Stone, who's the GM of NXT, says they will get a shot at the vanity project next week for the NXT tag team championships.
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:16.561
[SPEAKER_00]: So they beat the vanity project in the tournament.
01:01:17.842 --> 01:01:21.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not see them beating the vanity project for the tag team totals.
01:01:22.104 --> 01:01:23.125
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a mistake.
01:01:25.506 --> 01:01:27.187
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is their consolation prize.
01:01:27.207 --> 01:01:28.108
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll give you the tournament.
01:01:29.909 --> 01:01:33.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even think these two guys really look like a tag team to be quite honest with you.
01:01:34.312 --> 01:01:40.035
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, to be fair, we had Ricochet and Malachi black in the fucking dusty tag team classic.
01:01:40.075 --> 01:01:42.397
[SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't really matter, or Alex to black at that point.
01:01:43.365 --> 01:01:44.746
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a mix mash of tag teams.
01:01:45.766 --> 01:01:46.186
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
01:01:47.227 --> 01:01:49.528
[SPEAKER_00]: But these guys in particular didn't look like a tag team.
01:01:50.108 --> 01:01:51.649
[SPEAKER_00]: This is their consolation prize.
01:01:51.689 --> 01:01:55.151
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no way that WWE's going to take the belt off Vanity Project.
01:01:55.891 --> 01:01:59.433
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be a huge error, honestly.
01:02:02.894 --> 01:02:03.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana.
01:02:05.716 --> 01:02:10.558
[SPEAKER_00]: The newest member of 946, the former Mike Santana.
01:02:14.386 --> 01:02:23.711
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a feud, these two have been feuding, and this was the blow off to whatever they had going on.
01:02:23.731 --> 01:02:31.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently Santana or Cruz Montana here against Dionlinix, and this all started at Madison Square Garden.
01:02:33.497 --> 01:02:37.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we had Mike Santana teaming with OTM at that point.
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:44.561
[SPEAKER_00]: at the theater of Madison Square Garden.
01:02:45.721 --> 01:02:51.024
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I guess it comes full circle, Mike Santana teaming with OTM, now he's in the group.
01:02:52.184 --> 01:02:53.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's in non-46.
01:02:53.765 --> 01:02:55.126
[SPEAKER_00]: They went against Dark State.
01:02:57.547 --> 01:03:00.388
[SPEAKER_00]: So then he arrives on NXT full time, July 21st.
01:03:01.548 --> 01:03:02.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Those Mike Santana.
01:03:03.929 --> 01:03:06.591
[SPEAKER_00]: So Dark State has a history with dealing on Linux as its leader.
01:03:07.631 --> 01:03:09.452
[SPEAKER_00]: They went back to Target Mike Santana.
01:03:11.263 --> 01:03:13.485
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is their blow-off here.
01:03:14.766 --> 01:03:19.890
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess it all kind of came about from that six-man-take team match at Madison Square Garden.
01:03:20.150 --> 01:03:26.915
[SPEAKER_00]: When Mike Santana wasn't really a part of the NXT roster, he was kind of playing both sides, he was playing TNA, and then he was playing WWE.
01:03:27.315 --> 01:03:32.358
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he got to the NXT brand full-time on July 21st.
01:03:32.398 --> 01:03:35.341
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's when they picked things back up with their feud.
01:03:41.209 --> 01:03:43.110
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was a special official for this match.
01:03:43.950 --> 01:03:51.214
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Michael Chandler, UFC and MMA star, Michael Chandler is the special guest referee here.
01:03:51.795 --> 01:03:56.477
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was basically the Ken Shamrock for this match.
01:03:56.497 --> 01:04:01.240
[SPEAKER_00]: She was basically what Ken Shamrock was for Stone Cold Steve Austin and Breath of Hitman Hart.
01:04:01.740 --> 01:04:03.321
[SPEAKER_00]: At WrestleMania 13 in Chicago.
01:04:05.843 --> 01:04:07.384
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was already in the ring with Chandler.
01:04:08.104 --> 01:04:09.325
[SPEAKER_00]: The Olympics made his entrance.
01:04:10.105 --> 01:04:11.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Dark State is an awful group, by the way.
01:04:12.567 --> 01:04:14.407
[SPEAKER_00]: I always never, a fan of Dark State.
01:04:15.388 --> 01:04:16.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Montana attacked before the bell.
01:04:17.009 --> 01:04:18.950
[SPEAKER_00]: He ran out from the back, he didn't even want an entrance.
01:04:18.970 --> 01:04:19.850
[SPEAKER_00]: He ran out of the attack.
01:04:19.870 --> 01:04:22.072
[SPEAKER_00]: The Olympics right in the Isleway.
01:04:22.972 --> 01:04:24.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Chandler got out there to keep watch.
01:04:25.273 --> 01:04:28.595
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just there to count a pinfall and see for submission.
01:04:28.755 --> 01:04:29.035
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
01:04:30.176 --> 01:04:32.057
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got no other job but that.
01:04:34.031 --> 01:04:41.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Montana, a tech Lennox from behind at the Bell Lennox, scooped him onto his shoulders and sent him into the ring post and then into the steel steps.
01:04:42.293 --> 01:04:47.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana pulled out a table, the slim gym at table, that is from underneath the ring, he set it up outside.
01:04:48.135 --> 01:04:52.576
[SPEAKER_00]: And Lennox drove him spine first into the LED barricade.
01:04:52.996 --> 01:04:54.137
[SPEAKER_00]: That's around the ring side.
01:04:55.017 --> 01:04:57.998
[SPEAKER_00]: And then dumped him onto a pile of steel shares.
01:05:00.063 --> 01:05:01.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana starts fighting back.
01:05:02.344 --> 01:05:13.948
[SPEAKER_00]: He sends D on Lennox through this obvious hard board, slash wooden structure that's by rank side.
01:05:13.968 --> 01:05:17.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, there's the commentary table.
01:05:18.690 --> 01:05:26.413
[SPEAKER_00]: There's the timekeeper's area, and then there's this eagle perch that is at the Performance Center around rank side.
01:05:27.713 --> 01:05:31.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the wrestlers use it to cut a promo or make a special surprise appearance.
01:05:31.495 --> 01:05:32.816
[SPEAKER_00]: It's high above.
01:05:33.116 --> 01:05:34.838
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got to be it's 15, 20 feet up.
01:05:36.158 --> 01:05:46.405
[SPEAKER_00]: But the podium that sits that high, obviously there's a base to it, Mike Santana, overhead tosses, D on Lennox, through this base.
01:05:47.345 --> 01:05:50.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So they tried to make it look cool, it looked ridiculous.
01:05:51.368 --> 01:05:54.250
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked like fucking construction paper.
01:05:55.082 --> 01:05:56.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And it made no impact whatsoever.
01:05:56.583 --> 01:05:59.185
[SPEAKER_00]: He got some of the fucking NXT geeks out there.
01:05:59.265 --> 01:06:01.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, looking all shocked.
01:06:01.646 --> 01:06:03.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh my god, I don't believe that happened.
01:06:06.970 --> 01:06:08.130
[SPEAKER_00]: So he goes out there.
01:06:08.150 --> 01:06:10.572
[SPEAKER_00]: Does Michael Chandler to breathe the check on D on Lennox.
01:06:10.852 --> 01:06:20.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana then sent Lennox into the ring steps and exposed the concrete floor, Montana then dragged him up on the steps, but Chandler stepped in and stopped him.
01:06:21.525 --> 01:06:26.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is he getting involved when his job is to merely count a pin and see for a submission?
01:06:26.889 --> 01:06:30.472
[SPEAKER_00]: He did way too much past the job description.
01:06:32.153 --> 01:06:33.514
[SPEAKER_00]: So we go into a commercial break.
01:06:33.574 --> 01:06:39.659
[SPEAKER_00]: They traded right hands and Montana close line Lennox out of the ring looking to send him onto the exposed concrete.
01:06:40.539 --> 01:06:45.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Dark states, colored James and Osiris Griffin.
01:06:46.104 --> 01:06:48.946
[SPEAKER_00]: They arrived and they beat Chris Montana down.
01:06:50.948 --> 01:07:01.051
[SPEAKER_00]: The lights go out, typical Tony con special here, the lights go out, the lights come back on and they stayed all for about 20 seconds or so, nobody knew what the fuck was going on here.
01:07:01.471 --> 01:07:06.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Lights come back on and Jita Parker is standing at ringside and she's yelling something.
01:07:07.453 --> 01:07:09.414
[SPEAKER_00]: She's yelling something at D on Linux.
01:07:10.494 --> 01:07:16.996
[SPEAKER_00]: The rest of 946 make their way through the crowd, Carmelo Hayes, Bronco, Nima, Lucien
01:07:20.023 --> 01:07:44.104
[SPEAKER_00]: nine four six overwhelmed dark state and destroyed dark state Lucien price sense Butler James through the announced desk cruise Montana power bomb Lennox through a table on the outside that he set up earlier the slim gym table Montana the Rolex into the ring spin the block one two three and that was basically it
01:07:46.878 --> 01:07:49.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Royce keys in the rest of 946 get in the ring.
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:50.821
[SPEAKER_00]: They take one of the steel chairs.
01:07:50.841 --> 01:07:51.801
[SPEAKER_00]: He sets it up in the ring.
01:07:51.821 --> 01:07:52.582
[SPEAKER_00]: There's Royce keys.
01:07:52.622 --> 01:07:55.684
[SPEAKER_00]: He sits in the chair like he has been doing in the center of the ring.
01:07:56.364 --> 01:07:58.746
[SPEAKER_00]: Cruz Montana stands above him with the rest of the group.
01:07:58.846 --> 01:08:03.269
[SPEAKER_00]: And they quickly go to the back to show John Cena heading to ring side.
01:08:05.450 --> 01:08:06.391
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess this was the blow.
01:08:06.411 --> 01:08:16.218
[SPEAKER_00]: If you couldn't really have Cruz Montana lose to Deon Lennox here when they just brought Cruz Montana to the main roster and put him in the most dangerous faction on WWE TV
01:08:20.483 --> 01:08:21.485
[SPEAKER_00]: I still like the move.
01:08:21.505 --> 01:08:23.990
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people on J.D.
01:08:24.050 --> 01:08:24.431
[SPEAKER_00]: is a hemogram.
01:08:24.451 --> 01:08:24.891
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:24.911 --> 01:08:25.913
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:25.993 --> 01:08:26.875
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:26.895 --> 01:08:27.637
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:27.657 --> 01:08:28.198
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:28.218 --> 01:08:28.658
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:28.678 --> 01:08:29.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:29.620 --> 01:08:30.201
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:30.221 --> 01:08:30.702
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:30.722 --> 01:08:31.424
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:31.444 --> 01:08:31.884
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not completed.
01:08:34.055 --> 01:08:43.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you watch my live stream on Monday and you watch my live stream on Tuesday, you would have heard me vividly complain about, well, we just added Jada.
01:08:43.720 --> 01:08:46.142
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Carmelo no explanation.
01:08:46.162 --> 01:08:47.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're writing cruise Montana.
01:08:47.342 --> 01:08:49.103
[SPEAKER_00]: It was from the Bronx with no explanation.
01:08:49.684 --> 01:08:52.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It's at a point where you need to give me the why.
01:08:53.786 --> 01:08:56.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's no better person to explain that to us than cruise Montana.
01:08:59.329 --> 01:09:01.550
[SPEAKER_00]: I still find it very weird to call him cruise Montana.
01:09:01.570 --> 01:09:02.811
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to say Mike Santana.
01:09:04.939 --> 01:09:06.541
[SPEAKER_00]: the new to new day.
01:09:07.462 --> 01:09:08.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is.
01:09:09.225 --> 01:09:11.388
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a new a new chapter of his career.
01:09:12.509 --> 01:09:16.915
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a fucking stud and for all the people claiming, oh, he's overrated, J.D.
01:09:16.955 --> 01:09:21.301
[SPEAKER_00]: hype some up because he worked for House of Glory and all this other bullshit fuck off.
01:09:23.138 --> 01:09:29.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I always support people that support me and Mike Santana and what he's been through.
01:09:29.701 --> 01:09:32.842
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had a word here and a word there with me in Jason.
01:09:33.242 --> 01:09:42.266
[SPEAKER_00]: He has he's someone that has had our support from day one and will continue to have his support or our support.
01:09:42.286 --> 01:09:44.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll continue to have our support.
01:09:47.408 --> 01:09:48.988
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a game changer for nine four six.
01:09:49.008 --> 01:09:50.469
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to do great things on my roster.
01:09:53.488 --> 01:09:54.369
[SPEAKER_00]: can't wait to see what he does.
01:09:56.490 --> 01:09:57.730
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena and Zilla Fattu.
01:10:00.112 --> 01:10:01.212
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this earlier.
01:10:01.232 --> 01:10:03.534
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason to kind of harp on this.
01:10:03.774 --> 01:10:07.736
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena named Zilla Fattu as the second invite to.
01:10:08.477 --> 01:10:10.138
[SPEAKER_00]: We got fucking Jean Wilde out there.
01:10:10.158 --> 01:10:17.262
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena handing away fucking John Cena classic candy bars who gets the golden ticket to the John Cena classic.
01:10:17.342 --> 01:10:18.522
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Zilla Fattu's time.
01:10:23.458 --> 01:10:24.178
[SPEAKER_00]: creativity.
01:10:25.238 --> 01:10:25.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Potential.
01:10:27.839 --> 01:10:37.741
[SPEAKER_00]: And he breaks into a little dance as the crowd is chanting for John Cena that they came up with a new John Cena chant here in Orlando.
01:10:38.121 --> 01:10:38.901
[SPEAKER_00]: So we started dancing.
01:10:38.921 --> 01:10:41.182
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, well, you guys may be on to something there.
01:10:44.262 --> 01:10:46.383
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, it's opportunity to see his in any announced.
01:10:47.263 --> 01:10:48.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla Fato.
01:10:53.567 --> 01:11:03.715
[SPEAKER_00]: He paid tribute to Zilla's father, Umaga, who if you want to go back and John seeing this career, John Cena's rivalries is some great ones.
01:11:04.175 --> 01:11:10.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Adam Copeland, Edge, CM Punk, probably top two at the list at the top two on the top of John Cena's list.
01:11:10.860 --> 01:11:17.465
[SPEAKER_00]: CM Punk number one, Edge is number two, AJ Styles, Randy what you got to include, Randy wasn't for all the matches they've had.
01:11:19.114 --> 01:11:28.541
[SPEAKER_00]: I would absolutely include Umanga, or like William Regal used to say, and still says, Umanga, Umaga and John Cena had classic matches.
01:11:29.662 --> 01:11:33.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I would absolutely put Umaga on the list of greatest John Cena rivals.
01:11:35.026 --> 01:11:40.590
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, when we get to Royal Rumble season, that is absolutely going to be one of the matches we go back and relive on Patreon.
01:11:42.212 --> 01:11:42.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Coming up soon.
01:11:47.277 --> 01:11:49.338
[SPEAKER_00]: He went over the family, tribute to Umaga.
01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:53.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Cena says he's honored to give Zilla this opportunity to debut in the classic.
01:11:54.282 --> 01:11:55.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla got emotional.
01:11:56.324 --> 01:12:01.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Took him a little bit to actually say something because when Cena mentioned this father, he got really emotional.
01:12:02.668 --> 01:12:03.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla thanked him.
01:12:04.289 --> 01:12:08.372
[SPEAKER_00]: He expressed appreciation for the relationship with Cena and his family.
01:12:10.133 --> 01:12:11.294
[SPEAKER_00]: They embraced, they hugged.
01:12:12.475 --> 01:12:15.717
[SPEAKER_00]: We'd love to be the fly on the wall and we'd love to know what John Cena told Zilla
01:12:18.748 --> 01:12:19.208
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's it.
01:12:20.570 --> 01:12:32.461
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be very difficult to vote against Elifatu when you know who he is and what he's about and when you see him work, it's going to be very difficult not to vote for Elifatu to win the Johnson class.
01:12:33.802 --> 01:12:41.270
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see who else is involved that there's going to be an olbofemi or brown breaker or anybody like that on the mayor roster.
01:12:41.970 --> 01:12:43.732
[SPEAKER_00]: How are these matches going to be determined?
01:12:45.620 --> 01:12:46.600
[SPEAKER_00]: Not by the voting.
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:49.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean by the voting, but how are these matches going to be conceived?
01:12:50.682 --> 01:12:54.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Our club WWE going to vote when we have all the invite teas.
01:12:54.363 --> 01:13:00.305
[SPEAKER_00]: This club WWE going to vote for the matches that takes place or is WWE going to be the ones and charge that.
01:13:01.565 --> 01:13:07.227
[SPEAKER_00]: This code you're going to wrestle Zilla being that Cody's got familiarity and history with Zilla's family.
01:13:09.287 --> 01:13:10.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is Zilla going to wrestle?
01:13:10.388 --> 01:13:11.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's Cody going to wrestle?
01:13:15.884 --> 01:13:16.804
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a little aspect.
01:13:16.824 --> 01:13:28.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the question that we don't really have an answer to is still an absolutely before this thing was even announced and we knew the bare bones concept of what this was going to be.
01:13:28.230 --> 01:13:36.313
[SPEAKER_00]: As soon as we saw Zilla fought to debut in NXT, we all knew that Zilla fought to was going to be a part of this thing and I can't wait to see what he does.
01:13:36.433 --> 01:13:40.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Him on Monday, not Rawman, get excited, get excited.
01:13:40.935 --> 01:13:42.876
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your first time watching Zilla get excited.
01:13:47.025 --> 01:14:08.457
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena walked to the back and he got confronted by Kim Hendrix, another LFG clown, who's got a terrible gimmick, Kim Hendrix assumed he'd be in the John Cena classic and he wanted to know who he'd be wrestling, seeing it told him, instead of focusing on the
01:14:10.070 --> 01:14:13.991
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you think you're good, you're going to explain to everybody that you're good.
01:14:14.131 --> 01:14:18.333
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're great, they'll let you know that you're great.
01:14:18.413 --> 01:14:23.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen a berry this kid bigger than anybody could ever bury him at this stage of his career.
01:14:24.375 --> 01:14:28.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Without one, told them to get ready for E.K.
01:14:28.677 --> 01:14:29.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Prasper next week.
01:14:38.807 --> 01:14:47.234
[SPEAKER_00]: No story about this whatsoever, the only thing that I could really say here is that Grayson Wallace has some choice words for CM Punk.
01:14:48.278 --> 01:14:54.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Calling him a hypocrite and a fraud, and he's had some choice words to punk across the last several months.
01:14:55.363 --> 01:15:07.812
[SPEAKER_00]: And then at the end of Halloween, have it when Grayson Waller beat Tony DeAngelo to retain the NXT championship, see him punk basically shut up on the big screen and said, you claim that NXT is your house.
01:15:08.312 --> 01:15:14.297
[SPEAKER_00]: That's funny because I'm the landlord and come Wednesday, the rent is due.
01:15:16.695 --> 01:15:18.096
[SPEAKER_00]: basically what it boils down to.
01:15:18.877 --> 01:15:24.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Some choice words from grace and water to CM Punk, CM Punk didn't really say anything to grace and walled because why should he doesn't work at NXT.
01:15:25.002 --> 01:15:29.906
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot to worry about on the mayor roster, but he had time this week.
01:15:30.967 --> 01:15:31.988
[SPEAKER_00]: He had time this week.
01:15:32.008 --> 01:15:34.390
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, you know what, blood and guts is happening on Wednesday.
01:15:34.410 --> 01:15:36.432
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys are moving at NXT to Wednesday.
01:15:36.792 --> 01:15:41.476
[SPEAKER_00]: How about I go against my former boss on Wednesday night in the made of that put me in there with grace and waller.
01:15:42.257 --> 01:15:42.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom.
01:15:45.228 --> 01:15:50.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Earlier in the day, there was a Twitter clip that I saw this on Twitter.
01:15:50.350 --> 01:15:52.010
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I went all over WWE socials.
01:15:52.950 --> 01:15:56.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Owens was at the WWE performance center earlier in the day.
01:15:57.992 --> 01:16:00.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, he was sitting in the medical office of the performance center.
01:16:01.013 --> 01:16:05.174
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was being attended to by one of the personnel there on the medical staff.
01:16:06.194 --> 01:16:09.875
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he was there to get something checked out, a shoulder checked out.
01:16:10.536 --> 01:16:11.696
[SPEAKER_00]: He was there to get checked out.
01:16:15.609 --> 01:16:16.970
[SPEAKER_00]: or a pick today to get checked out.
01:16:18.191 --> 01:16:24.496
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean Michaels is there and Kevin Owens is filming this on his cell phone and Sean Michaels is saying.
01:16:25.517 --> 01:16:29.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, I know you're getting checked out, but you could have got checked out any day of the week.
01:16:29.560 --> 01:16:31.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you pick Wednesday?
01:16:31.602 --> 01:16:38.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you pick today of all the days to get checked out when you know that seeing punk is in the building?
01:16:39.549 --> 01:16:40.369
[SPEAKER_00]: Can do this yesterday?
01:16:41.550 --> 01:16:42.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Can do this on Thursday.
01:16:42.551 --> 01:16:43.192
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta do it today.
01:16:44.091 --> 01:16:58.797
[SPEAKER_00]: So Sean Michaels knew why he was there, and he wanted to put a stop to Kevin Owens doing what he thought Kevin Owens would do, so at least they set the table for how this match was going to end earlier in the day on social media.
01:17:00.678 --> 01:17:01.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Mitch was fine.
01:17:02.923 --> 01:17:20.354
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I'm not going to put this on the list of great CM Punk matches when we calculate CM Punk matches at the end of the year, or during Punks, WW, we were turned over the last two years, three years, it's not going to be one of the matches that I look back at as it.
01:17:20.374 --> 01:17:21.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, this was a punk classic.
01:17:23.236 --> 01:17:30.701
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a match on a show that counter programmed AEW and they wanted to use their biggest guns available.
01:17:33.645 --> 01:17:35.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Punk was never going to win the NXT Championship.
01:17:36.386 --> 01:17:42.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Owens was always going to interfere here to cost him the championship, so they add heat to their match on Friday.
01:17:43.309 --> 01:17:45.509
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's no reason to take the belt off Grayson Waller.
01:17:45.549 --> 01:17:47.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you beat Grayson Waller?
01:17:48.831 --> 01:17:52.132
[SPEAKER_00]: What does that do for Grayson Waller if he loses to see him punk?
01:17:53.001 --> 01:18:05.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Normally we talk about a loss burying somebody or a loss if it's good enough and if there's story there and there's meat on the bone there, a loss could benefit somebody and they look good and defeat.
01:18:06.788 --> 01:18:07.368
[SPEAKER_00]: That happens.
01:18:08.469 --> 01:18:09.870
[SPEAKER_00]: This was not one of those instances.
01:18:11.431 --> 01:18:12.251
[SPEAKER_00]: You cannot bury
01:18:17.055 --> 01:18:18.395
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm a big grace and wall a guy.
01:18:18.815 --> 01:18:19.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his attitude.
01:18:20.036 --> 01:18:20.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his promo work.
01:18:21.336 --> 01:18:22.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's very good in the ring.
01:18:22.996 --> 01:18:24.677
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's a right heel.
01:18:24.737 --> 01:18:25.837
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a good heel.
01:18:25.877 --> 01:18:28.418
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets the proper heat.
01:18:28.978 --> 01:18:36.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you see he and it's manufactured, or it's something that doesn't come across genuine.
01:18:36.740 --> 01:18:40.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Or the guy trying to get he is forcing something, and it's just not there.
01:18:41.281 --> 01:18:43.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Grace and Walla has no problem getting heat.
01:18:43.582 --> 01:18:44.442
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows what to say.
01:18:44.502 --> 01:18:45.382
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very witty.
01:18:46.587 --> 01:18:50.989
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great promo and he knows how to push the right buttons in the right order.
01:18:52.170 --> 01:18:53.411
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a big racing wall guy.
01:18:54.751 --> 01:18:56.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Racing wall are wasted away on the main roster.
01:18:56.813 --> 01:18:59.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Ted team with Austin Theory went nowhere.
01:18:59.894 --> 01:19:00.655
[SPEAKER_00]: They broke them up.
01:19:01.055 --> 01:19:03.896
[SPEAKER_00]: It took them almost a full calendar year to break them up.
01:19:04.157 --> 01:19:08.319
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they broke up, it happened because Austin Theory got hurt.
01:19:09.132 --> 01:19:10.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Grayson Waller then moved on to the new day.
01:19:11.033 --> 01:19:11.513
[SPEAKER_00]: He was big.
01:19:11.553 --> 01:19:12.873
[SPEAKER_00]: He's replacement in the new days.
01:19:12.893 --> 01:19:19.315
[SPEAKER_00]: The new day also suffered creatively after turning heel and having a tremendous heel turn, the follow up to that was nothing.
01:19:20.956 --> 01:19:23.917
[SPEAKER_00]: They added Grayson Waller to the group and it didn't really even make any sense.
01:19:23.937 --> 01:19:24.817
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't make an impact.
01:19:24.837 --> 01:19:25.458
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't fit.
01:19:26.058 --> 01:19:27.018
[SPEAKER_00]: It was all comedy.
01:19:27.038 --> 01:19:31.980
[SPEAKER_00]: They were used as in between commercial breaks on Netflix.
01:19:34.292 --> 01:19:37.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So he opted to move down to NXT, he asked him move down to NXT.
01:19:38.093 --> 01:19:40.354
[SPEAKER_00]: He needed something to sink his teeth into again.
01:19:40.374 --> 01:19:41.894
[SPEAKER_00]: He knew the writing was on the wall.
01:19:42.314 --> 01:19:45.495
[SPEAKER_00]: If I stay here and they give me nothing, I am doomed.
01:19:45.895 --> 01:19:48.036
[SPEAKER_00]: I am probably going to get my termination papers.
01:19:49.816 --> 01:19:51.877
[SPEAKER_00]: So I look at that and he goes back down to NXT.
01:19:51.917 --> 01:19:52.857
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to do the work.
01:19:52.897 --> 01:19:53.878
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been doing the work.
01:19:53.918 --> 01:19:55.458
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been excelling at it.
01:19:56.118 --> 01:19:57.579
[SPEAKER_00]: He's reconstructed his career.
01:19:57.619 --> 01:19:59.119
[SPEAKER_00]: He feels like a big time deal.
01:20:01.160 --> 01:20:02.620
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see it work out for him.
01:20:03.978 --> 01:20:10.504
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, but how many people have gone from the main roster, back down to NXT to get back to the main roster again?
01:20:12.305 --> 01:20:14.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I almost feel like WWE looks down on that type of thing.
01:20:16.109 --> 01:20:18.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you didn't want to see the process through on the main roster.
01:20:18.631 --> 01:20:19.692
[SPEAKER_00]: You were banned in dust.
01:20:20.332 --> 01:20:26.418
[SPEAKER_00]: You thought you could go run to pop a short Michaels and he'd take care of you and Carter, you like a little baby, right?
01:20:27.263 --> 01:20:30.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Then they get back to the main roster and you get Bruce and you get all those guys.
01:20:30.964 --> 01:20:31.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, look at this guy.
01:20:31.704 --> 01:20:32.544
[SPEAKER_00]: He thought who he was.
01:20:32.564 --> 01:20:34.484
[SPEAKER_00]: He thought he became a big deal there.
01:20:34.524 --> 01:20:35.164
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't actually.
01:20:35.184 --> 01:20:38.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's see how much of a big deal he is on the main roster.
01:20:38.065 --> 01:20:38.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha.
01:20:39.585 --> 01:20:40.525
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it with Corbin.
01:20:40.946 --> 01:20:42.266
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it with Apollo crews.
01:20:42.586 --> 01:20:44.106
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it with Mustafa Ali.
01:20:44.526 --> 01:20:47.247
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm only just naming guys that jump off the top of my head.
01:20:50.007 --> 01:20:52.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think it's going to end any differently for Grayson Waller?
01:20:53.828 --> 01:20:54.288
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
01:20:55.892 --> 01:20:56.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
01:20:56.512 --> 01:20:57.653
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate seeing talent wasted.
01:20:58.793 --> 01:20:59.053
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
01:21:00.094 --> 01:21:01.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Barricorban went down there.
01:21:01.234 --> 01:21:02.455
[SPEAKER_00]: He transformed his career.
01:21:02.475 --> 01:21:03.715
[SPEAKER_00]: He went back to being the long wolf.
01:21:03.735 --> 01:21:05.456
[SPEAKER_00]: They gave him his own fucking theme music back.
01:21:05.976 --> 01:21:07.697
[SPEAKER_00]: They gave him his old NXT theme back.
01:21:09.017 --> 01:21:12.158
[SPEAKER_00]: It was having main event matches on paper views with Ilya Dragon all.
01:21:12.499 --> 01:21:14.920
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a take team with Brombreaker, the wolf dogs.
01:21:16.780 --> 01:21:20.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he gets called up to the mayor roster and they put him in a fucking take team with Apollo Cruz.
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:27.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he gets fired, then he gets brought back.
01:21:28.581 --> 01:21:30.742
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not at state champion, and now he's out.
01:21:31.742 --> 01:21:39.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Quarac, quote, out, cervical contusion and vision loss because Cody wrote, it's punted him in the face.
01:21:41.106 --> 01:21:41.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
01:21:43.567 --> 01:21:45.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Mustafa Ali, fired.
01:21:45.747 --> 01:21:47.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't even make it back to the mayor roster.
01:21:49.869 --> 01:21:51.750
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it works out better for Grayson Waller.
01:21:51.890 --> 01:21:52.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
01:21:56.940 --> 01:21:57.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Match was all right.
01:21:57.600 --> 01:21:58.300
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a match.
01:21:59.240 --> 01:22:00.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk and wall locked up.
01:22:01.041 --> 01:22:02.801
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk really got no reaction here in Orlando.
01:22:02.881 --> 01:22:04.001
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate this fucking crowd.
01:22:04.021 --> 01:22:06.822
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to say, I hate this, this performance in a crowd.
01:22:06.882 --> 01:22:09.742
[SPEAKER_00]: They, you know, I get some people saw us the same crowd.
01:22:09.842 --> 01:22:11.002
[SPEAKER_00]: It's winter park Florida.
01:22:11.282 --> 01:22:14.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Motherfucker, this isn't the same crowd as the full set crowd.
01:22:14.463 --> 01:22:14.823
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not.
01:22:16.023 --> 01:22:16.383
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not.
01:22:16.503 --> 01:22:17.203
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't give a fuck.
01:22:17.263 --> 01:22:19.424
[SPEAKER_00]: What you tell me and how you tell me it's the same.
01:22:19.444 --> 01:22:20.064
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the same.
01:22:20.904 --> 01:22:21.064
[SPEAKER_00]: These
01:22:27.848 --> 01:22:34.591
[SPEAKER_00]: They're disrespectful, they're there, they take the show over more times than I really care to mention.
01:22:36.532 --> 01:22:37.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk got no reaction.
01:22:39.293 --> 01:22:48.597
[SPEAKER_00]: You got fucking CM Punk, chick magnet punk here at the performance center and you give them a bare bones reaction.
01:22:54.109 --> 01:22:57.532
[SPEAKER_00]: So punk sends Waller down to the mat with a couple arm drags.
01:22:57.552 --> 01:22:58.873
[SPEAKER_00]: He's showing the rookie.
01:22:59.073 --> 01:22:59.613
[SPEAKER_00]: How it's done.
01:23:00.934 --> 01:23:01.935
[SPEAKER_00]: The waller is no rookie.
01:23:02.876 --> 01:23:04.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Waller and slow things down side, headlock.
01:23:05.538 --> 01:23:09.300
[SPEAKER_00]: We go outside punk trap waller in the ring skirt land in a big right hand.
01:23:09.901 --> 01:23:11.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Waller sent punk into the ring post.
01:23:11.482 --> 01:23:12.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Slid onto the bottom rope.
01:23:13.103 --> 01:23:14.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Close lined him on the outside.
01:23:14.705 --> 01:23:15.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It rolls him back in.
01:23:17.947 --> 01:23:21.690
[SPEAKER_00]: We go back in the ring punk dumps waller over the top row.
01:23:23.518 --> 01:23:26.302
[SPEAKER_00]: And Walla comes back with some stomps in the right hand.
01:23:26.362 --> 01:23:30.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Knees to the side of Punk's head, punk starts firing back.
01:23:30.067 --> 01:23:33.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk took a lot of offense here in I would say after the opening bell.
01:23:33.912 --> 01:23:37.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk took a lot of offense from Walla here for the majority of the match up until the end.
01:23:39.283 --> 01:23:44.168
[SPEAKER_00]: So punk fires back, diving out of the ring with a suicide to take him down.
01:23:44.188 --> 01:23:46.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You roll a roller back into the ring.
01:23:46.230 --> 01:23:49.033
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a big, beautiful cross-body off the top rope.
01:23:49.534 --> 01:23:53.058
[SPEAKER_00]: And he goes for cover gets a two-count, punk then single for the GTS.
01:23:54.430 --> 01:24:06.718
[SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden security is seen running to ringside from the hard camera side over the barricade, Kevin Owens didn't even reach the ringside area.
01:24:07.238 --> 01:24:10.721
[SPEAKER_00]: He jumps over the barricade, tries to get into the ring.
01:24:11.821 --> 01:24:16.504
[SPEAKER_00]: The officials in security pull him back and drag him back over the barricade.
01:24:17.225 --> 01:24:22.188
[SPEAKER_00]: CM Punk is completely blindsided by Kevin Owens being there.
01:24:24.812 --> 01:24:33.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess Kevin Owens was on social media and CM Punk didn't see it because CM Punk doesn't have Twitter or he's rarely on Instagram.
01:24:34.337 --> 01:24:44.823
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was distracted by Kevin Owens was CM Punk and Waller rolled punk up from behind and hooked the tights.
01:24:46.023 --> 01:24:49.845
[SPEAKER_00]: One, two, three, Grayson Waller wins over CM Punk.
01:24:49.865 --> 01:24:52.487
[SPEAKER_00]: He retains the NXT Championship.
01:24:53.652 --> 01:24:54.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk was upset.
01:24:55.093 --> 01:24:58.894
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked down at Waller and Waller was like, yeah, I'm the best in the world, motherfucker.
01:25:00.095 --> 01:25:04.497
[SPEAKER_00]: So Waller ends up gloating and seeing Punk and believe that Kevin Owens fucked him over.
01:25:05.637 --> 01:25:08.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm assuming that's the match we're going to get.
01:25:08.699 --> 01:25:15.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd heard from people who are in attendance that reached out to me, said that the match on Friday that was taped at the Barclays Center was fucking great.
01:25:16.759 --> 01:25:22.024
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to pay close attention to what they do in that match on Friday, but I'm very much looking forward to that.
01:25:22.184 --> 01:25:33.874
[SPEAKER_00]: Waller wins in the main event over CM Punk, big win for Grayson Waller, it's nice to have that on his resume and that was basically it, it's the way the show went off the air.
01:25:35.776 --> 01:25:39.479
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was NXT, it was a show.
01:25:43.777 --> 01:25:49.520
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a show with a big-time main event with CM Punk in the main event, challenging for the brand's biggest championship.
01:25:50.381 --> 01:25:58.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Zilla Fattu, the biggest prospect in NXT, invited to the Johnson Classic.
01:25:58.925 --> 01:26:00.946
[SPEAKER_00]: He got invited to the Johnson and the Shalk of Factory.
01:26:03.087 --> 01:26:05.969
[SPEAKER_00]: And you got a glimpse as to what the Johnson and Classic is going to be.
01:26:06.700 --> 01:26:07.741
[SPEAKER_00]: because we've got a lot of matches.
01:26:07.801 --> 01:26:11.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And I lot of glimps into what the classic is going to be.
01:26:11.563 --> 01:26:12.464
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Colony Jones vs.
01:26:12.484 --> 01:26:12.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Page.
01:26:12.944 --> 01:26:17.588
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Gabel, Phoenix, and Dragon Lee vs. Vanity Project.
01:26:18.908 --> 01:26:30.937
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are matches that are going to be very, very significant and how the Johnson & Classic is going to be when we get to December 14th.
01:26:32.663 --> 01:26:33.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was a show.
01:26:34.245 --> 01:26:37.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, like I said, this show genuinely is not for me.
01:26:38.188 --> 01:26:39.949
[SPEAKER_00]: On a week to week basis, this is not for me.
01:26:41.631 --> 01:26:42.351
[SPEAKER_00]: I pay attention.
01:26:43.432 --> 01:26:47.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I pay attention to NXT in small, small small doses.
01:26:47.956 --> 01:26:50.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Highlights, clips, social media.
01:26:50.818 --> 01:26:52.059
[SPEAKER_00]: I pay attention to what's going on.
01:26:52.079 --> 01:26:53.340
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I know some of the talent.
01:26:53.981 --> 01:26:55.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I don't care about some talent.
01:26:55.522 --> 01:26:55.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really
01:26:58.269 --> 01:26:59.310
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like dark state.
01:26:59.530 --> 01:27:02.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Never like dark state since the the moment they debuted.
01:27:03.053 --> 01:27:05.354
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Grayson wall a guy big Cologne Jordan guy.
01:27:06.535 --> 01:27:07.976
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Kendall Gray.
01:27:08.857 --> 01:27:10.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Cali Armstrong guy.
01:27:11.399 --> 01:27:11.939
[SPEAKER_00]: She's great.
01:27:14.361 --> 01:27:16.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Zaria loves area.
01:27:17.403 --> 01:27:21.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Lizzy rain fan just love the gimmick.
01:27:22.247 --> 01:27:23.788
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's just it's just me.
01:27:25.030 --> 01:27:43.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when you go out there and you're a metal, I mean, I'm going to pay attention because that's I connect with someone like that character was other than I like Hank and Tank, you know, Romeo Moreno, he looked really good tonight.
01:27:43.228 --> 01:27:44.369
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the first time I saw him.
01:27:46.027 --> 01:27:47.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, there's things to like.
01:27:47.849 --> 01:27:48.829
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some things to like.
01:27:48.849 --> 01:27:50.591
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot to dislike about this show.
01:27:51.371 --> 01:27:54.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll continue to harp on until I am blue in the face.
01:27:54.414 --> 01:27:58.557
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish they would go back and do a little bit of what black and gold it.
01:27:59.598 --> 01:28:00.479
[SPEAKER_00]: I miss black and gold.
01:28:00.599 --> 01:28:02.120
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with missing black and gold.
01:28:02.160 --> 01:28:03.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Black and gold work.
01:28:03.081 --> 01:28:11.248
[SPEAKER_00]: Black and gold would still be great today if they just kind of dipped into that fucking into that mentality a little bit.
01:28:11.408 --> 01:28:11.648
[SPEAKER_00]: You know?
01:28:13.205 --> 01:28:16.286
[SPEAKER_00]: No reason why we can't do a little bit of mix of that and mix of this.
01:28:16.986 --> 01:28:19.106
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just this show is way too polished for me.
01:28:19.806 --> 01:28:21.887
[SPEAKER_00]: It's basically the main roster with fucking rookies.
01:28:22.847 --> 01:28:29.028
[SPEAKER_00]: Bright lights, colorful shits, rat music, the graphics, the fucking LED boards.
01:28:29.088 --> 01:28:34.169
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, bro, when I want to watch the developmental, this is a step up from developmental.
01:28:34.229 --> 01:28:35.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Evolve is their development.
01:28:35.469 --> 01:28:36.929
[SPEAKER_00]: TNA is their developmental.
01:28:37.889 --> 01:28:39.069
[SPEAKER_00]: But Evolve is their development.
01:28:39.089 --> 01:28:40.850
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a step up from their developmental.
01:28:44.660 --> 01:28:51.324
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit of an indie feel, a gritty feel, a more raw feel, right?
01:28:52.345 --> 01:28:54.566
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with wanting the brand to be better.
01:28:55.487 --> 01:28:58.689
[SPEAKER_00]: In its current state, I don't think it's the right product.
01:28:59.829 --> 01:29:06.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's the right product for these fucking people, because they're half brain dead, but I don't think what they're doing is working.
01:29:06.814 --> 01:29:07.094
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
01:29:07.754 --> 01:29:14.118
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a poorly written television show and it's basically a carbon copy of the main roster with no identity anymore.
01:29:16.055 --> 01:29:21.458
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd like to say that, and a lot of people end up feeling that way, we want it to be better.
01:29:22.659 --> 01:29:24.460
[SPEAKER_00]: The current product you're getting right now is not better.
01:29:27.522 --> 01:29:31.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Get it through these super chats and they get the aladias so I could jump on Final Fantasy Resonance.
01:29:31.264 --> 01:29:36.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys very much for joining me here on this Wednesday night.
01:29:42.731 --> 01:29:43.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I muted my music.
01:29:47.023 --> 01:29:48.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Follow me on social media, Ajay.
01:29:48.104 --> 01:29:49.965
[SPEAKER_00]: If you remember when I told you or said, you know what I forgot to do?
01:29:50.085 --> 01:29:50.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Motherfucker!
01:29:58.369 --> 01:30:01.090
[SPEAKER_00]: All the bots, all the bots probably stole it, right?
01:30:01.190 --> 01:30:07.033
[SPEAKER_00]: Anybody got, anybody got lucky with the Nintendo Switch Zelda edition?
01:30:10.435 --> 01:30:11.696
[SPEAKER_00]: eBay sale or not eBay?
01:30:11.776 --> 01:30:12.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Amazon selling it for $1400.
01:30:17.604 --> 01:30:18.505
[SPEAKER_00]: It's f***ing ridiculous.
01:30:21.407 --> 01:30:22.888
[SPEAKER_00]: F***ing ridiculous, man.
01:30:30.795 --> 01:30:33.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Follow me on social media, Ajit, you've been wanting to owe six.
01:30:33.037 --> 01:30:35.399

[SPEAKER_00]: Hit that thumbs up, leave a comment down below.
01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:01.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know what you guys thought of tonight's NXT.
01:31:02.803 --> 01:31:06.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight was sponsored by my great friends over at BrooklynBetting.
01:31:06.806 --> 01:31:09.688
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a BrooklynBetting.com.
01:31:09.708 --> 01:31:14.972
[SPEAKER_00]: 30% off site wide when you use promo code scripts.
01:31:17.595 --> 01:31:24.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, I want to thank my great friends over at Brooklyn bedding for sponsoring the NXT podcast right here on off the script.
01:31:24.400 --> 01:31:31.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, you know how much time I spend sitting in this chair talking about professional wrestling three hours shows late night live streams and somehow.
01:31:31.985 --> 01:31:35.188
[SPEAKER_00]: I end up spending more time talking about the show than actually watching it.
01:31:35.788 --> 01:31:44.955
[SPEAKER_00]: And after sitting here for hours watching Tony comms creative decisions, we're trying to stay away through another painfully boring episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
01:31:45.195 --> 01:31:53.361
[SPEAKER_00]: There's only one thing I absolutely need when I finally shut this microphone off, and that is a good night's sleep.
01:31:53.742 --> 01:31:58.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I'm happy to have Brooklyn betting back, sponsoring off the script.
01:31:58.405 --> 01:32:05.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I've actually been sleeping on their Thermo Balance mattress, and guys, I genuinely love how comfortable and supportive this thing feels.
01:32:05.931 --> 01:32:10.054
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not just sitting here reading you some marketing nonsense about a mattress I've never touched.
01:32:10.434 --> 01:32:20.082
[SPEAKER_00]: I've actually slept on it, I've spent my nights on it, and after these ridiculously long work days and live streams, it's something I genuinely look forward to getting into.
01:32:20.442 --> 01:32:32.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Because let's be honest, the last thing anybody needs after 3 hours of triple H's creative is another 8 hours of disappointment, and unlike WWE creative, Brooklyn betting understands that one size does not.
01:32:33.373 --> 01:32:34.014
[SPEAKER_00]: fit all.
01:32:34.354 --> 01:32:39.279
[SPEAKER_00]: They offer more than 15 different mattress models for different bodies and sleep styles.
01:32:39.619 --> 01:32:41.601
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's something else I respect about the company.
01:32:41.901 --> 01:32:46.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Brooklyn betting has been assembling mattresses for more than 30 years at their factory in Arizona.
01:32:47.226 --> 01:32:51.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Real American craftsmanship with people who actually know what they're doing.
01:32:51.570 --> 01:32:55.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Khan could probably use a few of those people in his creative department.
01:32:56.154 --> 01:33:04.001
[SPEAKER_00]: and they offer 365 night comfort trial so you have plenty of time to decide whether your mattress is the right fit for you.
01:33:04.521 --> 01:33:11.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's where you guys come on in because Brooklyn betting has an exclusive offer for everybody watching off the script.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know what happened there, man, my computer froze.
01:34:59.258 --> 01:35:00.098
[SPEAKER_00]: My computer froze.
01:35:00.698 --> 01:35:03.939
[SPEAKER_00]: If it froze in the middle of the ad, I apologize to you guys, but, uh...
