[SPEAKER_00]: Only one shameless uses it.
01:15.944 --> 01:22.951
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll use it in regards to shameless being that he's the one who kind of made it relevant in the community.
01:22.971 --> 01:26.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm never using the word banger again to describe a pro wrestling match.
01:27.175 --> 01:36.465
[SPEAKER_00]: They made it so terribly uncool to use that word in regards to a pro wrestling match that I never want to see it and everyone here again.
01:37.546 --> 01:40.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I don't know who
01:40.910 --> 01:48.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that, when talking about pro wrestling, it's almost like they went back to the days of AI bots, writing their news articles.
01:49.318 --> 01:53.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they got AI written generated, slop all over their website.
01:54.142 --> 02:01.008
[SPEAKER_00]: Never using it again, from this point forward, we will be calling them great pro wrestling exhibitions.
02:02.670 --> 02:03.991
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're gonna be describing.
02:05.012 --> 02:10.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Our greats pro wrestling, which we really
02:10.694 --> 02:25.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially on at tonight's show outside of Carmelo here's an earlier dragon off against the iy This show was a colossal waste of everybody's time Nobody's watching smack down tonight.
02:25.979 --> 02:27.061
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a college football game.
02:27.101 --> 02:30.326
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe on Oklahoma and Alabama.
02:30.406 --> 02:35.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe a plan Nobody's watching smack down the Jake Paul fight is happening
02:36.614 --> 02:39.458
[SPEAKER_00]: this evening with my guy morrow.
02:39.738 --> 02:41.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, morrow and I look all in the fight.
02:43.384 --> 02:47.670
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you guys miss Smackdown, I'm here to tell you that I hope to be in and out.
02:48.431 --> 02:49.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Very quickly.
02:49.132 --> 02:56.182
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope to at least catch a buzz off my old fashion and then end the stream and then hop on my place.
02:56.222 --> 03:01.429
[SPEAKER_00]: They should five whether I play a mix of destiny, call of duty or just straight destiny, Renegades.
03:01.570 --> 03:02.992
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the need to run against.
03:03.793 --> 03:04.714
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't
03:05.825 --> 03:12.676
[SPEAKER_00]: I was actually contemplating taking the rest of the year off to be quite honest with you, but then I read the spoilers for SmackDown.
03:12.756 --> 03:13.998
[SPEAKER_00]: It's SmackDown show next week.
03:14.118 --> 03:19.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, it looks like a decent one based on the spoilers, which I will not be spoiling here.
03:19.186 --> 03:25.756
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I do find it kind of odd that I see nothing but SmackDown spoilers.
03:25.796 --> 03:26.697
[SPEAKER_00]: And raw spoilers.
03:26.777 --> 03:27.799
[SPEAKER_00]: As soon as
03:28.640 --> 03:50.732
[SPEAKER_00]: As soon as they were able to be leaked, I saw SmackDown and Raw Spoilers, I wonder, I wonder where all the dirt sheets, the same dirt sheets that leaked the Raw and SmackDown Spoilers for next week, where were all these dirt sheets when MCHF returned to AEW on what was a very taped show on Wednesday.
03:51.505 --> 03:52.987
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, that's right.
03:53.487 --> 03:54.048
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
03:54.128 --> 04:02.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony, Tony, God's got the wrestling media and some of the dirt sheets, the more notable dirt sheets in his pocket.
04:03.200 --> 04:12.131
[SPEAKER_00]: And he requested that nobody spoil M.J. F's return because that means nobody would watch the show.
04:12.832 --> 04:18.559
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't really understand that nobody's watching the show to begin with M.J. F or no M.J. F.
04:20.682 --> 04:27.410
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't understand why that wasn't leaked on Wednesday, but then we got raw and Smackdown spoilers.
04:27.470 --> 04:32.095
[SPEAKER_00]: I know everything happened on the fucking shows next week, kind of funny, right?
04:32.455 --> 04:33.357
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of funny, man.
04:33.637 --> 04:39.343
[SPEAKER_00]: And then people won't do why I usually start a good conspiracy online.
04:39.644 --> 04:41.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Gee, they really make it fucking easy.
04:41.386 --> 04:47.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't they?
04:50.618 --> 04:52.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Triple M says, Jay, if I wasn't working.
04:52.701 --> 04:54.644
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have run the dungeon tonight.
04:54.684 --> 04:56.707
[SPEAKER_00]: I still need my taken crystal.
04:57.708 --> 04:58.550
[SPEAKER_00]: It won't drop again.
04:58.570 --> 05:01.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, I need that till well, we need everything wrong.
05:01.534 --> 05:02.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I need that.
05:02.075 --> 05:02.876
[SPEAKER_00]: I need the exotic.
05:02.936 --> 05:07.363
[SPEAKER_00]: I need a couple of all the five tier god rolls over there.
05:09.165 --> 05:10.407
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get a don't hopefully next week.
05:11.469 --> 05:12.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, smack on tonight.
05:15.234 --> 05:20.001
[SPEAKER_00]: If I was to pinpoint the biggest talking point from tonight's show
05:21.078 --> 05:27.906
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be Carmella Hayes and Ilya Draganov for the United States championship.
05:27.926 --> 05:37.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if you guys watch my stream last week with Carmella Hayes coming to save the day and save Ilya Draganov from DIY to on one attack last week.
05:39.019 --> 05:40.600
[SPEAKER_00]: That was after Dragon All Beat Champa.
05:41.962 --> 05:47.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I said last week that it certainly feels like WWE could be setting up.
05:47.228 --> 05:50.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Carmella Hayes coming to save Dragon All.
05:51.740 --> 05:57.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon all really was kind of taking a back by Carmelo Hayes and Carmelo Hayes helping him last week.
05:57.489 --> 06:04.400
[SPEAKER_00]: He was kind of appreciative, but kind of hesitant because he can't really trust anybody.
06:05.622 --> 06:09.848
[SPEAKER_00]: And Dragon off show that type of body language where he was like, give me that tie.
06:09.868 --> 06:10.750
[SPEAKER_00]: That title's mine.
06:11.070 --> 06:12.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I know why you're out here.
06:13.930 --> 06:43.515
[SPEAKER_00]: very protective of original state championship tonight I'll smack down dragon all was very appreciative that criminal case came out to help him last week and tonight they teamed against the iy so i said last week that it certainly feels like w w is setting up an angle where dragon off wants to thank Carmelo haze by taking care of this the iy problem
06:44.423 --> 06:47.528
[SPEAKER_00]: and he's going to give him a United States championship match.
06:49.191 --> 06:54.561
[SPEAKER_00]: And with Dragon Off having great wrestling exhibitions over the last two and a half months.
06:57.867 --> 07:05.520
[SPEAKER_00]: It certainly feels like that WWE is going to transfer that and everything that Dragon Off is accumulated over to Cornell of his.
07:06.563 --> 07:22.542
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the sense that I get, I got that last week, I got that tonight, and I got a feeling that Carmelo Hayes is going to be squarely in the center of the United States Championship title picture.
07:22.562 --> 07:29.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And if that's the case, and he does become the United States champion, wink, wink.
07:31.252 --> 07:41.366
[SPEAKER_00]: That means SmackDown is already making moves to correct some of the things that they need to correct going into 2026.
07:42.407 --> 07:47.194
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the things I'd like for them to correct is to drop the United States open challenge.
07:47.294 --> 07:48.396
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been done to death.
07:48.516 --> 07:51.380
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been doing it for four months now.
07:53.042 --> 07:54.424
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's time to end it.
07:55.805 --> 08:05.139
[SPEAKER_00]: We could always come back and revisit it when they got nothing going on and WWE needs to get back with a champion to tell stories.
08:06.120 --> 08:10.006
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's the right guy to do it with in Carmelo Hayes.
08:10.607 --> 08:15.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if Carmelo Hayes does become the United States champion, wink, wink.
08:17.837 --> 08:25.288
[SPEAKER_00]: There's only one thing that I would do, and I don't know when he gets called up.
08:25.960 --> 08:35.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Carmelo Hayes and trick Williams for the United States championship should be your major middle of the card program.
08:36.136 --> 08:43.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Your major secondary title program on SmackDown, trick Williams gets called up from NXT.
08:43.883 --> 08:46.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Carmelo Hayes is the United States Champion.
08:46.226 --> 08:49.229
[SPEAKER_00]: They broke into 2.0 NXT together.
08:49.289 --> 08:56.135
[SPEAKER_00]: They rode the coast of Florida together, training together on screen together.
08:56.155 --> 08:58.658
[SPEAKER_00]: They know each other better than anybody.
08:58.678 --> 09:05.164
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that they have a real life friendship,
09:05.347 --> 09:11.373
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, camaraderie and an on-screen relationship together.
09:12.294 --> 09:16.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that is exactly what SmackDown needs, genuinely.
09:16.598 --> 09:22.323
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to get back to a place where there is some real exciting story.
09:23.004 --> 09:25.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And that story revolves around the youth.
09:26.147 --> 09:28.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's exactly what SmackDown needs to do.
09:28.149 --> 09:33.514
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to get back to going younger, pushing the future.
09:34.523 --> 09:36.385
[SPEAKER_00]: because this show is in dire need of help.
09:37.406 --> 09:39.649
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the best way for it to go.
09:40.350 --> 09:40.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly.
09:43.293 --> 09:46.717
[SPEAKER_00]: Cutting roads.
09:46.737 --> 09:48.399
[SPEAKER_00]: They showed it on social media bot.
09:48.459 --> 09:50.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight was the first time they actually aired it on the program.
09:52.684 --> 09:58.371
[SPEAKER_00]: This is something that WWE aired on social media, which is fine.
09:58.908 --> 10:03.032
[SPEAKER_00]: But then they squarely integrated it into the show tonight, which is very good.
10:03.052 --> 10:04.854
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want it to be just a social media thing.
10:04.894 --> 10:28.138
[SPEAKER_00]: They spliced it into the show, not like AEW where they had hook come out and give no explanation on anything about why he turned on Eddie Kingston and why he rejoins some of our joe and finds himself in the ops instead of splicing that interview that he did with Alisha or two into their programming, they uploaded it to YouTube, which was basically two and a
10:29.705 --> 10:41.822
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to have me go out there for two and a half minutes to watch this meaningless interview when all you needed to do was put it in the show, splice it into the show, or give the fucking cat a microphone, and have him say what he said there on dynamite.
10:44.486 --> 10:53.138
[SPEAKER_00]: The brains in that company don't seem to work on a week to week basis, but I'm glad that WWE didn't do that same thing and keep it to social media only.
10:53.178 --> 10:54.660
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad they splice this into the show.
10:54.680 --> 10:56.202
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a tremendous piece of business.
10:57.312 --> 11:04.827
[SPEAKER_00]: I did enjoy the home invasion by Cody Rhodes to Drew McIntyre, which I mean, it's not really his home.
11:05.688 --> 11:18.814
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure it's a staged set up or a rental and they probably rented out an Airbnb in Florida, Orlando, close to the performance center that everybody shot for a day of filming and bought a big bottle boom and that's it.
11:20.465 --> 11:29.921
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew it wasn't a real home because they weren't going to film something close to home in Florida and show the actual number address on the home.
11:31.384 --> 11:40.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Not with the fucking weirdos out there on social media who will probably end up stalking Drew McIntyre and his lovely wife and cat.
11:41.081 --> 11:41.882
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need that.
11:43.617 --> 11:46.260
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this segment was the tremendous piece of business.
11:46.600 --> 11:57.131
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing I would have changed as far as the home invasion is the over-abundance of music behind this segment.
11:57.151 --> 12:05.500
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like this real dramatic and fucking edge of your seat-type of music that tried to make it suspenseful.
12:06.541 --> 12:07.162
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing?
12:08.303 --> 12:12.207
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do we need that type of music playing over this type of
12:13.503 --> 12:14.304
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand it.
12:15.865 --> 12:18.167
[SPEAKER_00]: But the substance of the segment was good.
12:18.648 --> 12:20.009
[SPEAKER_00]: He sat down with Nick Aldis.
12:20.790 --> 12:28.577
[SPEAKER_00]: He says that there's an unsafe work environment in WWE, which he bullshitted, but it may all be a play.
12:28.757 --> 12:33.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It may all be a chess game to Drew McIntyre, because he's clearly getting onto Cody Rhodes skin.
12:33.942 --> 12:42.750
[SPEAKER_00]: And Cody is looking like he's making mistakes along the way, because Drew McIntyre not only got reinstated,
12:42.730 --> 12:46.354
[SPEAKER_00]: quote unquote and reinstate him.
12:47.195 --> 12:50.980
[SPEAKER_00]: He's getting a WWE championship match with a stipulation of his choosing.
12:52.221 --> 13:04.636
[SPEAKER_00]: When and where we didn't really know, we didn't find out watching to not show, but one would assume that for that first three hour Smackdown to start the new year, I think that's the proper place to do it.
13:04.677 --> 13:11.725
[SPEAKER_00]: You really get any people to want to watch
13:12.093 --> 13:27.604
[SPEAKER_00]: And you want to really kind of load up that show with some great wrestling exhibitions and really make it must see for the first three hour show of the new year, which I'm hearing is only temporary but temporary is still too long.
13:29.744 --> 13:30.726
[SPEAKER_00]: So I enjoyed what they did.
13:31.368 --> 13:32.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody home invaded.
13:32.590 --> 13:37.521
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't really get anything but a brawl on the front lawn in front of a palm tree.
13:38.083 --> 13:44.557
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't see anybody wielding a weapon or carrying a fire arm or anything of that nature.
13:44.617 --> 13:47.584
[SPEAKER_00]: But Cody Rhodes looked like a maniacal psychopath.
13:48.475 --> 13:50.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew McIntyre has clearly gotten underneath his skin.
13:51.659 --> 14:03.112
[SPEAKER_00]: He claimed unsafe work environment only to then show up at Saturday night's main event and fuck over both Obafemi and Cody Rhodes, and then he cries about wanting to be reinstated.
14:03.172 --> 14:14.685
[SPEAKER_00]: So he doesn't show up to work, he forces Nick Aldis to show up at his home, demand whatever he wants, gets it, and Cody is the one who is seething angry.
14:16.555 --> 14:20.259
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like a great game of chess if your Drew McIntyre, I enjoyed what they did there.
14:22.562 --> 14:27.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Other than that, we still got a heavy push for the women's tag team championships.
14:27.548 --> 14:37.379
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't really understand it's quite bizarre how WWE all of a sudden is that really focusing and I mean really focusing on the women's tag team championships.
14:38.340 --> 14:43.626
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not interested in Nia Jackson, Lash, Ledge and going after said tag team championships.
14:43.859 --> 14:47.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of the tag team championships, the men's tag team title for on the line, the MFTs.
14:49.586 --> 14:54.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time I mention the MFTs, I want to grab a pillow and fall asleep against the Wyatt 6.
14:55.694 --> 14:57.557
[SPEAKER_00]: I could use a good 6 hours of sleep.
14:58.598 --> 15:00.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's what they name the Wyatt 6 after.
15:01.882 --> 15:02.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Fucking boring.
15:03.905 --> 15:12.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody gives a shit about either of these teams, either of these factions, and this is the low point of the SmackDown tag team division right now.
15:13.576 --> 15:16.439
[SPEAKER_00]: That a heavy focus on that tech team division going into summer slam.
15:16.459 --> 15:21.806
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we are stuck with the MFTs and the Wyatt 6.
15:23.548 --> 15:23.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
15:26.091 --> 15:27.953
[SPEAKER_00]: And we didn't even get a decisive winner tonight.
15:27.973 --> 15:29.014
[SPEAKER_00]: It went to a no contest.
15:31.898 --> 15:32.618
[SPEAKER_00]: This show sucked.
15:34.280 --> 15:36.363
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely could end the fucking review right there.
15:36.543 --> 15:36.984
[SPEAKER_00]: But I won't.
15:38.846 --> 15:40.748
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be unbecoming of me.
15:42.247 --> 16:00.289
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to sit down, we're going to talk about their show in the most economic way possible the most time on a stream tonight is I want to I want to be out of here and like 45 minutes can we do that I think that sounds good.
16:00.539 --> 16:01.080
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's do it.
16:01.100 --> 16:06.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys for joining me here on this Friday night and as your Friday night's SmackDown post show right here on off the script.
16:06.990 --> 16:12.139

[SPEAKER_00]: He loves coffee like I do.
21:06.048 --> 21:11.413
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think Dax and I would really bond over some nice alcoholic beverages and some coffee loves his coffee.
21:11.453 --> 21:13.195
[SPEAKER_00]: So why, right?
21:13.215 --> 21:14.356
[SPEAKER_00]: I can make Dax my friend.
21:14.416 --> 21:16.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Now make him the best cup of coffee's of ad.
21:17.959 --> 21:18.440
[SPEAKER_00]: Genuinely.
21:20.522 --> 21:23.044
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
21:23.064 --> 21:23.805
[SPEAKER_00]: Mercedes too.
21:23.865 --> 21:24.225
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
21:26.027 --> 21:27.628
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, that's that's a difficult.
21:27.648 --> 21:33.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's going to be a difficult one for me to to go out there and kind of spread.
21:33.770 --> 21:35.373
[SPEAKER_00]: for that type of Christmas cheer.
21:35.573 --> 21:36.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, little lesson man.
21:37.476 --> 21:38.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the Grinch.
21:38.137 --> 21:39.279
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't want to bring too much.
21:39.439 --> 21:40.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Sit the claws out of me, man.
21:40.741 --> 21:42.484
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a fucking image to uphold here.
21:42.524 --> 21:45.188
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, anyway, turn this fan on.
21:45.208 --> 21:45.950
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting hot in here.
21:47.252 --> 21:48.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Fucking heats up.
21:48.293 --> 21:49.836
[SPEAKER_00]: 32 degrees in New York City, man.
21:49.876 --> 21:51.478
[SPEAKER_00]: It was fucking 18 degrees the other night.
21:52.119 --> 21:54.764
[SPEAKER_00]: It was 53 degrees today in New York City.
21:55.545 --> 21:56.627
[SPEAKER_00]: All the snow is melted.
21:57.428 --> 21:58.590
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fantastic.
21:58.610 --> 22:00.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it didn't even fucking snow this past weekend.
22:02.356 --> 22:07.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we start to show with Damien Priest, Damien Priest.
22:08.005 --> 22:12.953
[SPEAKER_00]: They aired a clip of re-repply pinning Zalina Vega in their mixed head team and I watched this clip so many times.
22:13.013 --> 22:14.495
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know who botched.
22:15.637 --> 22:16.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Who botched this move last week?
22:17.620 --> 22:25.933
[SPEAKER_00]: At first, I thought it was Zalina Vega and then I looked at it today, watched it a couple of times and I'm like, did re-repply botched?
22:27.449 --> 22:29.531
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the fuck went wrong there.
22:30.152 --> 22:32.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Last week, what a horrendous looking maneuver.
22:34.676 --> 22:35.697
[SPEAKER_00]: So, a priest is out there.
22:37.499 --> 22:38.780
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a microphone in his hand.
22:40.702 --> 22:46.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He says they were forced to say goodbye to John Cena.
22:46.427 --> 22:52.914
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he thinks he can speak for so many when he says, Cena inspired so many and he's the greatest of all time.
22:52.934 --> 22:55.296
[SPEAKER_00]: We say thank you, Cena.
22:57.098 --> 22:59.341
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why this needed to be said in this promo.
23:00.743 --> 23:02.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I like Damian Priest.
23:02.345 --> 23:05.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Damian Priest is very underrated.
23:06.150 --> 23:10.215
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hope that he gets back to somewhat of an important role next year.
23:11.076 --> 23:13.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know what he's got planned going into next year.
23:13.159 --> 23:16.323
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there was a report that went out this past week.
23:16.343 --> 23:21.790
[SPEAKER_00]: That WWE is kind of scaling back on Damian Priest because he's banged up and they want him healthy.
23:23.170 --> 23:30.283
[SPEAKER_00]: He wrestled something like 75 matches in 2023 and then like 50 or so matches in 2024.
23:30.784 --> 23:33.448
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's wrestled like 25 or 26 matches this year.
23:34.791 --> 23:42.765
[SPEAKER_00]: So mixed with him being banged up and the fact that creative has done him no justice by moving him over to Friday night SmackDown.
23:44.298 --> 23:47.021
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely feel bad for the guy because the guy was on top of the world.
23:47.042 --> 23:48.103
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the world's heavyweight champion.
23:48.123 --> 24:00.379
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the hottest faction, the leader of the hottest faction in all WWE, that multiple segments every single week on Monday, three or four segments tops to go on a Friday night and being a complete non-factor for the entire year.
24:00.939 --> 24:03.403
[SPEAKER_00]: The highlight of his career was a feud with Drew McIntyre.
24:03.423 --> 24:04.103
[SPEAKER_00]: That went nowhere.
24:05.365 --> 24:05.665
[SPEAKER_00]: No, we're.
24:08.069 --> 24:10.812
[SPEAKER_00]: So when he mentioned John Cena here, it's like, bro, why?
24:12.614 --> 24:27.473
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I don't mean any disrespect to its priest because I do enjoy his work, but it just comes off that priest mentioned John Cena to get a very, very, very cheap pop because this crowd wasn't popping for anything.
24:27.893 --> 24:29.535
[SPEAKER_00]: And they weren't popping for Damien Priest.
24:32.239 --> 24:33.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, not sorry.
24:36.475 --> 24:38.077
[SPEAKER_00]: Peshanted, thank you, Sina.
24:38.137 --> 24:43.042
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, the handle business last week, him and Ripley, and now can look forward to 2022.
24:43.603 --> 24:47.187
[SPEAKER_00]: Zelina Vega came out and starts laughing and interrupts the Amy and Priest promo.
24:47.848 --> 24:49.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Zelina called Priest a hypocrite.
24:50.691 --> 24:54.015
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, getting Ripley to fight his battles, does it make him a real man?
24:54.035 --> 24:57.299
[SPEAKER_00]: No flash, you didn't even get the pin.
24:57.359 --> 24:59.121
[SPEAKER_00]: No, really, Ripley did.
25:00.242 --> 25:01.503
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't really matter who got the pin.
25:01.523 --> 25:02.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Real Ripley got the pin.
25:02.965 --> 25:05.588
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like,
25:06.226 --> 25:08.150
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, how is the black broke him?
25:08.671 --> 25:10.294
[SPEAKER_00]: And he can't come to terms with it.
25:11.376 --> 25:13.439
[SPEAKER_00]: She pointed to the stage as black's music played.
25:13.860 --> 25:18.789
[SPEAKER_00]: Black attacked priests from behind and did not come out when his theme music played down the aisle way.
25:19.591 --> 25:25.822
[SPEAKER_00]: So pre-strike the fight back, black, overwhelmed him, knocked him to the floor, priest called him by his throat, shokes learned to make it the ring apron.
25:26.864 --> 25:28.808
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a big brawl here at Rankside.
25:29.497 --> 25:34.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Tess and Wade Bauer on commentary because they filmed this show on Monday before Monday night Raw.
25:34.666 --> 25:41.738
[SPEAKER_00]: So the crowd was just equally as bad as they were on Monday night and this show was actually first on Monday to be taped.
25:42.820 --> 25:50.494
[SPEAKER_00]: So that crowd on Monday had to sit through four and a half hours of WWE tapings.
25:50.514 --> 25:51.876
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were not any better tonight.
25:53.105 --> 26:00.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So, a priest pulled out a table from underneath the ring, he set it up, black recovered, bash, priest across the back with the steel chair, and then shoved him into the ring post.
26:00.513 --> 26:08.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Black put priest on a table, or the table that he set up, and then landed the double knees and drove him through the table.
26:08.542 --> 26:11.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Black started to clutch his knee and pain.
26:11.625 --> 26:23.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Vega is taunting Damian Priest, as he lays their emotionless, WWE officials didn't come out to check on priest as black and Selena end up leaving the crime scene
26:29.200 --> 26:32.085
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I, I started to question that this was fine.
26:33.207 --> 26:35.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody cares, but this was, this was fine.
26:35.851 --> 26:38.395
[SPEAKER_00]: There was nothing, there was nothing agregiously wrong with us.
26:39.317 --> 26:42.122
[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is, this has been going on now for what?
26:42.142 --> 26:43.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Three months, two and a half months, three months now.
26:46.048 --> 26:51.377
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not doing Damien Priest any favors and this is not doing Alice to black any favors.
26:52.370 --> 27:03.104
[SPEAKER_00]: The more you continue to just go around in a circle over and over again, which is basically the premise of this storyline, you will yield no results.
27:04.846 --> 27:06.308
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the point of all this?
27:07.530 --> 27:09.793
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the point of this to get out as to black to the next level?
27:11.535 --> 27:20.487
[SPEAKER_00]: If that's the point, if that is the conclusion of this angle and this story, it's not working.
27:22.171 --> 27:30.882
[SPEAKER_00]: is Damien Priest going to get a win over Alistair Blackler's the last time that they wrestled they wrestled in a last man standing match and Damien Priest had a fucking fireball thrown in his face.
27:32.525 --> 27:36.630
[SPEAKER_00]: So where does this end, how does this end, and who does it benefit?
27:38.653 --> 27:49.647
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to scale Damien Priest back, by the way we read the report this week, it sounds like Alistair Black may be put over Damien Priest if they really want to scale him back and have him recuperate his injuries.
27:50.808 --> 27:57.036
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, you gotta do something with Damian Priest because he looks like a fucking loser.
27:57.056 --> 27:58.478
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the end goal?
28:00.541 --> 28:11.476
[SPEAKER_00]: An angle of feud and a story here, which is really a stretch even saying it, because I don't even know what the fucking story is to be quite honest with you and where the story's going and what the story means.
28:12.637 --> 28:14.500
[SPEAKER_00]: How is it benefiting either guy?
28:16.863 --> 28:18.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Where does Damian Priest go after this?
28:18.645 --> 28:20.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Where does Alistair Black go after this?
28:21.807 --> 28:26.675
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't get a sense that this view is setting up either guy for something substantial to follow.
28:28.277 --> 28:31.983
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is exactly what's wrong with SmackDown.
28:32.003 --> 28:43.481
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the winner here comes across Jacob Fattu and Jacob Fattu is, first of all, they gotta play that out because they attacked Jacob Fattu and took him out with a mystery attack angle.
28:44.082 --> 28:47.167
[SPEAKER_00]: So whoever the fuck that is, they need to finish that up.
28:49.130 --> 28:49.671
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
28:51.001 --> 29:01.096
[SPEAKER_00]: We need Jacob fought to back, we need some call-ups, we need some fresh blood on this show, we need actual feuds that don't last three months and go nowhere.
29:02.779 --> 29:08.287
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully they got a plan for either one of these guys, but I'm not really holding my breath for any of that to have.
29:10.731 --> 29:19.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Byron Saxon interviewed Lash legend and Naya Jax, who were wearing Christmas themed wrestling outfits.
29:20.144 --> 29:32.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Gifts, they will both dressed in what looked like gift-rapped, teaches them to eat his own.
29:32.805 --> 29:44.143
[SPEAKER_00]: They said they're going to eliminate the Kabuki warriors and then go after the Ted team titles, Byron Saxon, that said that they might not be first in line because there are other teams.
29:44.410 --> 29:48.414
[SPEAKER_00]: That are vying for those titles, namely Charlotte and Alexa and E.R.
29:49.075 --> 29:49.496
[SPEAKER_00]: E.R.
29:50.196 --> 29:50.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Rhea.
29:50.777 --> 29:51.898
[SPEAKER_00]: E.R.
29:53.220 --> 29:55.142
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess that's their new team name, E.R.
29:56.403 --> 29:57.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Rhea and E.R.
29:59.026 --> 30:03.251
[SPEAKER_00]: There are team all of a sudden, and then you got... Who else is that?
30:03.291 --> 30:04.632
[SPEAKER_00]: The Kabuki Warriors you got.
30:04.672 --> 30:13.422
[SPEAKER_00]: These two WWE all of a sudden's got this, this fucking... Lost for women's tag team wrestling.
30:15.545 --> 30:29.132
[SPEAKER_00]: So we go from Byron Sachs in backstage priest who was just beat up by Alistair Black in the opening segment he's being escorted to medical Alistair Black
30:29.821 --> 30:44.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Attack him and threw him into some production crates and some other heavy objects backstage Police landed a black mass spin-kick to priest who was basically flung into the steel garage door.
30:45.055 --> 30:46.716
[SPEAKER_00]: He went down.
30:46.756 --> 30:54.503
[SPEAKER_00]: He was knocked out and Alice to black continues his decimation of Damien Priest.
30:55.484 --> 30:58.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if this is a way to write Damien Priest off of television
30:59.825 --> 31:03.149
[SPEAKER_00]: to further the storyline or the angle of the feud.
31:05.152 --> 31:08.736
[SPEAKER_00]: Right-em-off television like that Rhode L.A. and I don't have television on Monday, two weeks ago.
31:12.340 --> 31:23.554
[SPEAKER_00]: The Kabuki Warriors.
31:27.517 --> 31:38.150
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was hoping that they'd give Lash Legends some decent music and they gave Lash Legend terrible music.
31:38.170 --> 31:42.255
[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like they gave her a rendition of Bailey's music.
31:42.275 --> 31:47.782
[SPEAKER_00]: The first thing that you hear with Lash Legends music is it's Lash Legend.
31:49.985 --> 31:56.933
[SPEAKER_00]: She says her name in the open of the theme music so that you know who it is.
31:58.043 --> 31:59.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Give one lineers in her theme music.
32:00.986 --> 32:04.310
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the bougie Betty, like bro.
32:06.853 --> 32:15.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you honestly sit there and look at that, hear that and say, yeah, she's got superstar written all over her.
32:16.123 --> 32:19.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, it all starts at the top with theme music.
32:21.649 --> 32:24.793
[SPEAKER_00]: If Lesh legends already has such awful theme music,
32:27.187 --> 32:31.335
[SPEAKER_00]: She's never going to be the superstar that WWE thinks she's going to be.
32:33.479 --> 32:35.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, sorry, not sorry.
32:37.125 --> 32:40.832
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't have a superstar in the making if her theme music is this fucking terrible.
32:42.675 --> 32:46.422
[SPEAKER_00]: It's basically, they basically bailed her role model.
32:47.344 --> 32:49.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they don't.
32:49.528 --> 32:50.730
[SPEAKER_00]: The bougie Betty.
32:53.849 --> 33:05.026
[SPEAKER_00]: How about a, have a less of an emphasis on these fucking ridiculous, cringey nicknames and more of an emphasis on getting her in the ring and actually having her perform the way that she needs to perform.
33:08.611 --> 33:11.576
[SPEAKER_00]: They are a clip of Lash beating Alexa bless last week in four minutes.
33:12.637 --> 33:15.121
[SPEAKER_00]: Commissary call is the biggest singles winner for a career.
33:15.141 --> 33:19.848
[SPEAKER_00]: 22 minutes into the show.
33:19.868 --> 33:22.472
[SPEAKER_00]: We finally got some in-ring action.
33:24.511 --> 33:40.226
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscar and Kyrie drop kit, Naya Jax out of the ring, and we go into a commercial break with Kyrie saying leaping off the top rope onto both Naya Jax and Lash legends with her insane elbow, which looked really good.
33:44.089 --> 33:52.257
[SPEAKER_00]: So after the commercial break we come back, Jax is working over Kyrie in the corner.
33:53.519 --> 33:59.265
[SPEAKER_00]: And Lash Legend hit a big standing pump kick on Kyrie during the commercial break.
33:59.285 --> 34:00.246
[SPEAKER_00]: They show a replay of that.
34:01.428 --> 34:02.509
[SPEAKER_00]: At least that looks good.
34:03.670 --> 34:04.211
[SPEAKER_00]: She does that.
34:04.271 --> 34:07.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I can't say she does everything else well.
34:09.356 --> 34:20.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Back to the match year after they showed the pump kick, Lash Legend, the plot of Russell don't Kyrie sang for a bit until she slammed her down by the head.
34:20.992 --> 34:28.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Nigax and Lash legend tried to go for double suplex, but Kyrie turned that into a double DDT, which gave Oscar the hot tag.
34:30.274 --> 34:34.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we got both heel teams here, so who exactly am I supposed to cheer for?
34:34.504 --> 34:35.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are you supposed to cheer for?
34:35.827 --> 34:37.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Who do you want to see when?
34:39.183 --> 34:42.449
[SPEAKER_00]: I know this is not the reason why Hershey Pencilvania was fucking lifeless.
34:43.171 --> 34:49.002
[SPEAKER_00]: This is WWE creating a lifeless match because both teams are very much heals.
34:50.205 --> 34:53.671
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no desire to see either team win.
34:55.655 --> 35:00.685
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscar got on the top rope hits a double missile dropkick on NIA Jackson Lash legend.
35:01.137 --> 35:06.081
[SPEAKER_00]: We got some friendly fire as Oscar avoided legends running attack, which sent her into Jackson stead.
35:06.121 --> 35:11.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscar then locked on an on bar on Naya who used her power to get out of it.
35:11.947 --> 35:15.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscar connected with a shining wizard, but Lash legend broke that up.
35:16.911 --> 35:20.734
[SPEAKER_00]: So things break down here towards the end of the match and everybody's in the ring at the same time.
35:22.016 --> 35:23.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscar went up to the top rope.
35:23.917 --> 35:30.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Lash legend pulled Oscar's leg, which allowed Naya Jackson to head up top for an attempted
35:31.040 --> 35:34.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Legend pulled Oscar out of the ring through her into the steel steps.
35:35.005 --> 35:38.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyrie then took Lash Legend out of the match with a diving knee.
35:38.590 --> 35:42.695
[SPEAKER_00]: However, Naya Jack recovered and knocked Kyrie out.
35:43.396 --> 35:46.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she drags Kyrie over to the corner and hits her.
35:46.560 --> 35:51.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Anaya later, which is one of the worst finishing moves in the company.
35:53.489 --> 35:58.195
[SPEAKER_00]: It may be the worst finishing move in the company.
36:01.887 --> 36:10.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Last legend, the Naya Jax defeat the Kabuki warriors who, by the way, are the women's tag team champions.
36:11.748 --> 36:18.242
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you aren't paying attention, we already have Rhea and EO.
36:19.218 --> 36:25.947
[SPEAKER_00]: On Monday night, January 5th, challenging Oscar and Kyrie St. for the Women's Tag Team Championships.
36:25.968 --> 36:29.072
[SPEAKER_00]: It certainly looks like it and feels like it to me.
36:29.132 --> 36:38.746
[SPEAKER_00]: That WWE is setting up a fatal four-way match, just like they had at evolution this year, with Rhea and E.O.
36:38.846 --> 36:47.638
[SPEAKER_00]: versus the Kabuki Warriors, versus Charlotte and Alexa, versus Lash Legend and Naya Jax for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
36:48.833 --> 36:52.458
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to set that show up to be a big, big show.
36:55.281 --> 36:56.402
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what they're doing.
36:56.683 --> 37:00.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, neither Jackson, Lash, Lash, Lash, and what have defeated the 13 champions here.
37:00.508 --> 37:01.629
[SPEAKER_00]: Be a pinfall.
37:03.531 --> 37:05.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're gonna be out of tag team title match.
37:05.974 --> 37:10.300
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm assuming that's going to lead to them getting added to this match.
37:11.762 --> 37:12.883
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they have,
37:13.775 --> 37:16.819
[SPEAKER_00]: the reason that they can go and tell everybody.
37:16.879 --> 37:19.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you guys aren't first in line anymore.
37:19.363 --> 37:20.744
[SPEAKER_00]: We beat the tag team champion.
37:20.805 --> 37:22.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So you get in line behind us.
37:27.914 --> 37:28.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Jackie Ruddman.
37:30.938 --> 37:39.630
[SPEAKER_00]: She interviewed Julia or wanted to set up an interview with Julia, but she was told by her representative, Kiana James.
37:40.083 --> 37:42.246
[SPEAKER_00]: to address her properly before she could do so.
37:43.008 --> 37:49.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Once she did Julia said, she was going to make sure Albufire would be left saying, Arrivederci.
37:51.101 --> 37:52.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Arrivederci.
37:52.202 --> 37:56.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I could say, Arrivederci to this fucking show.
37:58.172 --> 38:00.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Arrivederci, to two hours smack down, chat.
38:01.717 --> 38:02.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Goodbye.
38:05.363 --> 38:07.727
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, WWE's room is to be having a...
38:09.158 --> 38:12.602
[SPEAKER_00]: PLE and Italy and Etaly and Etaly and Etcher.
38:12.622 --> 38:20.512
[SPEAKER_00]: It really makes me wonder if Julie is going to actually have creative get behind her so that she may be featured on that show, being that she's half Italian.
38:24.357 --> 38:25.258
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't trust them at all.
38:27.962 --> 38:38.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes, he's actual McIntyre at his quote-unquote home, like I said in the beginning
38:41.373 --> 38:48.804
[SPEAKER_00]: A video where I've nicknamed us a company by or a company by three police officers and it was on his way to meet Drew McIntyre.
38:49.646 --> 38:51.248
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he wanted everything documented.
38:52.630 --> 38:53.512
[SPEAKER_00]: He says out of respect.
38:54.193 --> 38:56.637
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the interest of good faith, he is visiting him.
38:56.697 --> 39:01.023
[SPEAKER_00]: But given his actions last week, he's not sure why he went through with it.
39:02.185 --> 39:06.672
[SPEAKER_00]: He said if Cody wants him reinstated, they all want him reinstated.
39:07.833 --> 39:12.838
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's an integral part of SmackDown, so we had a proposal, and he'd like the terms.
39:14.279 --> 39:22.867
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he'd get a match with Cody with the title on the line, but to show officials that he is repented, he'd like him to apologize to the referee.
39:22.888 --> 39:23.528
[SPEAKER_00]: He attacked.
39:24.349 --> 39:26.491
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's lucky, he's not an intensive care.
39:27.872 --> 39:32.096
[SPEAKER_00]: He said there's also a hefty fine, but his payday from Survivor Series should cover that.
39:32.917 --> 39:34.819
[SPEAKER_00]: He told him to take it or leave it.
39:35.710 --> 39:41.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew contemplated his match for the WWE championship against Cody and says he wants it more than anything.
39:42.178 --> 39:43.620
[SPEAKER_00]: He then said no.
39:45.162 --> 39:49.788
[SPEAKER_00]: He said it's what Cody wants and he has to be in an unsafe working environment.
39:50.449 --> 39:54.835
[SPEAKER_00]: All this said instead of another monologue about getting screwed, how about letting him know what he wants.
39:56.036 --> 40:03.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew says he wants to pick the stipulation since he clearly wants to protect his golden boy, Cody Rhodes.
40:05.208 --> 40:19.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew told all this to go back to Stanford, Connecticut and draw up some legal documents that say Cody cannot lay a finger on him before the WWE title match or he will be stripped of the title.
40:20.695 --> 40:23.560
[SPEAKER_00]: All this says he doesn't like it, but it's a deal.
40:24.301 --> 40:29.190
[SPEAKER_00]: They shook hands and then let out a sinister laugh, did Mack and Tara.
40:30.098 --> 40:32.183
[SPEAKER_00]: He acts how long it takes to draw that up.
40:32.564 --> 40:35.151
[SPEAKER_00]: All this says, I'll have it done by the end of the day.
40:36.574 --> 40:41.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Drew then gets a text message, which includes a video of Cody Rhodes.
40:41.847 --> 40:44.735
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming this is like on his home camera.
40:45.516 --> 40:46.960
[SPEAKER_00]: He got notified.
40:47.294 --> 41:15.310
[SPEAKER_00]: He got an notification of Cody showing up to his house, quote, unquote, drew came out to his front yard and yelled, you seriously are showing up at my damn property and they get into a fight which was shot in a cinematic typeway with multiple camera angles, Cody yelled at Drew Axe for it and yelled, Merry Christmas asshole, police separated them and that's the way the segment came to a close.
41:16.943 --> 41:22.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, outside the cheesy over dramatic music, I thought this was great, I thought this was really good stuff.
41:23.393 --> 41:26.597
[SPEAKER_00]: So when do we get this championship match?
41:27.258 --> 41:31.044
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming it happens on that January, was it second or third?
41:31.945 --> 41:35.951
[SPEAKER_00]: That first episode of SmackDown to start the new year, January second.
41:36.752 --> 41:37.754
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's when we get it.
41:38.034 --> 41:43.322
[SPEAKER_00]: So three hours show, you got to get people a reason to watch, and I think that is exactly what's going to happen.
41:44.602 --> 41:49.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, whether a Drew McIntyre wins the championship or not, that remains to be seen.
41:49.570 --> 41:54.960
[SPEAKER_00]: But keep in mind, we got a Saturday night's main event coming up a week before the Royal Rumble.
41:54.980 --> 41:57.785
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got the Royal Rumble the following week in Saudi Arabia.
41:59.007 --> 42:09.765
[SPEAKER_00]: If WWE wanted to do a title change and have McIntyre win the championship, I would absolutely explore that if that option is on the table.
42:10.522 --> 42:16.735
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need Cody to hold the championship all the way through the WrestleMania season to then defend it at WrestleMania.
42:17.677 --> 42:19.840
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting a little stale, it's getting a little boring.
42:20.401 --> 42:25.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Though they've ignited some firing-coated roads with this feud, which I very much appreciate.
42:26.288 --> 42:28.792
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's cut some of the better promos that he's cut.
42:29.252 --> 42:30.674
[SPEAKER_00]: Lightly against Rumaq inside.
42:30.774 --> 42:38.885
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that WWE thought outside the box here, and actually did something a little bit adventurous, something that they haven't done a lot this year.
42:39.266 --> 42:43.171
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is film a segment outside of the confines of their television show.
42:43.471 --> 42:44.933
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not in the back.
42:44.913 --> 42:48.917
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not in the ring, it's not overly scripted and from a dead crowd.
42:49.457 --> 42:59.588
[SPEAKER_00]: They actually took the segment outside, put some real life situations behind it, and they made it personal.
43:01.569 --> 43:07.696
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a company that claims that they make movies, like Marvel and DC, so making some fucking movies.
43:08.676 --> 43:10.458
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate a cinematic segment.
43:10.819 --> 43:14.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate when things kind of dip into the realism.
43:15.642 --> 43:21.889
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a great segment, outside of the overly dramatic suspenseful music that they overdubbed and post at it.
43:24.052 --> 43:33.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I would actually have as a remark and tie when the WWE championship from Corey Rhodes, and if you want to take the belt off of them, just rematch it back at the Royal Rumble.
43:33.442 --> 43:34.023
[SPEAKER_00]: Simple as that.
43:35.605 --> 43:36.546
[SPEAKER_00]: Where's Randy Orton?
43:36.566 --> 43:37.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Does Randy Orton get involved?
43:39.589 --> 43:40.851
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming he's gonna be back.
43:41.972 --> 43:44.014
[SPEAKER_00]: He may actually win the Royal Rumble.
43:44.034 --> 43:44.755
[SPEAKER_00]: For all we know.
43:45.865 --> 43:51.252
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that he's doing so much, so much work in Saudi Arabia and so much public relations work in Saudi Arabia.
43:51.572 --> 43:56.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton may be the odds on favor to win the role of Rumble, to be quite honest with you.
43:56.198 --> 44:00.144
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, he's like the face of WWE over there hanging out with Mr.
44:00.184 --> 44:02.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Beast, he's doing WWE PR work.
44:02.086 --> 44:11.659
[SPEAKER_00]: We may actually get Cody and Randy built right from the go at the Royal Rumble.
44:11.679 --> 44:12.700
[SPEAKER_00]: But this was great stuff.
44:16.544 --> 44:23.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Byron Saxon, then asks Nick Aldis in the back, because all this was in the building.
44:26.275 --> 44:28.597
[SPEAKER_00]: What do he thought of this segment?
44:28.617 --> 44:30.199
[SPEAKER_00]: Aldis said everything is out of control.
44:30.219 --> 44:33.202
[SPEAKER_00]: He said SmackDown is still without one of its biggest stars.
44:33.663 --> 44:40.470
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, well, Cody did his out of line, but the incident wasn't out of WWE event, so it's up to local authorities on how it is handled now.
44:41.572 --> 44:43.834
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Drew sent in some comments.
44:45.890 --> 44:52.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Before we knew what Drew McIntyre said, Nick Aldous was interrupted by the Miz.
44:53.720 --> 45:00.809
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said he wanted to match with him, all this act, do you mean Carmelo Hayes?
45:02.070 --> 45:11.222
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Miz second thought a second guess that didn't thought, well, you know, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Carmelo Hayes now that you mentioned it, but Miz yelled, that's not who it is.
45:12.518 --> 45:16.944
[SPEAKER_00]: all this suggested than just say his name and and miss was like, no, no, don't say his name.
45:17.264 --> 45:17.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't say his name.
45:20.809 --> 45:25.175
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he can have a match against him next week.
45:26.516 --> 45:31.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Our truth then comes over and starts singing Joe Hendry's theme song.
45:32.444 --> 45:33.966
[SPEAKER_00]: But he didn't call him Joe Hendry.
45:35.909 --> 45:38.372
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, I believe not in Joe Hendry.
45:38.913 --> 45:41.496
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe in Joe Peshie.
45:44.108 --> 45:46.752
[SPEAKER_00]: I think most of us believe in Joe Pashy.
45:46.792 --> 45:50.758
[SPEAKER_00]: How you doing?
45:50.778 --> 45:56.467
[SPEAKER_00]: He told all of us that, Ms. is just mad because I saw your British balls.
45:59.492 --> 46:03.938
[SPEAKER_00]: So Joe Henry, they want to give him a main roster match.
46:04.179 --> 46:09.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, being that Ms. stole his spot in the Johnson Entertainment, which I guess,
46:10.366 --> 46:20.937
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of creates this sense of continuity on WWE television, which is always a nice thing to see, but Joe Hendry is tailor made for the main roster.
46:20.957 --> 46:23.480
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know why he's kind of meddling in NXT.
46:24.841 --> 46:36.694
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't know if this is going to mean Joe Hendry's getting called up to the main roster, or if this is just something that WWE is doing because they need minutes of TV time
46:37.248 --> 46:43.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically, not going to be watched during the Christmas season.
46:43.277 --> 46:45.581
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Joe Hendry is getting a call up to the main roster.
46:45.661 --> 46:48.946
[SPEAKER_00]: He very well could, and he's more than ready for the main roster.
46:49.747 --> 46:52.251
[SPEAKER_00]: But I could see him at NXT.
46:52.311 --> 46:54.695
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see him maybe going after the NXT title.
46:55.556 --> 46:59.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see Joe Hendry as a major champion on the main roster.
46:59.723 --> 47:00.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a world champion.
47:01.426 --> 47:02.968
[SPEAKER_00]: He was T&I World Champion.
47:03.607 --> 47:08.774
[SPEAKER_00]: But that doesn't mean because he was TNA World Champion being that we got a crown of a WWE champion or a WWE World Heavyweight champion.
47:08.794 --> 47:10.516
[SPEAKER_00]: But I could see him as a United States champion.
47:10.836 --> 47:13.940
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see him as a intercontinental champion.
47:14.321 --> 47:18.126
[SPEAKER_00]: If he lands on SmackDown, he's had history with Shrek Williams.
47:19.107 --> 47:20.989
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see his Shrek Williams, United States champion.
47:21.009 --> 47:24.053
[SPEAKER_00]: He should run, going up against Joe Henry when the time is right.
47:24.854 --> 47:25.415
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see that.
47:26.657 --> 47:31.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I think Joe Henry fits on the main roster.
47:32.243 --> 47:39.956
[SPEAKER_00]: is creative enough to a point where it would actually work on the mayor roster and fans would immediately gravitate to it.
47:41.279 --> 47:46.628
[SPEAKER_00]: So, like always, they're starting him off.
47:46.728 --> 47:57.407
[SPEAKER_00]: If this is indeed a test to get him called up to the mayor roster in 2026, just like everybody else is first
47:58.788 --> 48:04.717
[SPEAKER_00]: the Miz, the gatekeeper of WWE talent.
48:04.737 --> 48:09.044
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can get through the Miz, then we can move you on to the next level.
48:09.645 --> 48:14.032
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can out promo the Miz, then that means you're ready for the next level.
48:15.274 --> 48:18.840
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the Miz is there bar upon entry into WWE.
48:18.900 --> 48:21.624
[SPEAKER_00]: If you pass that test, then we'll move y'all.
48:21.644 --> 48:23.547
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll be allowed entry into the kingdom.
48:29.095 --> 48:33.740
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia, she actually got in ring time tonight.
48:33.840 --> 48:37.504
[SPEAKER_00]: It was four minutes, but it's four minutes more than she got all month.
48:38.786 --> 48:44.632
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe all of November, I don't even remember what she did in November.
48:47.535 --> 48:49.578
[SPEAKER_00]: She'd be able to fire here in four minutes.
48:50.078 --> 48:55.204
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they're setting Julia up to go after
48:56.416 --> 48:57.746
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody gives a shit.
48:57.766 --> 49:01.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Crowd was as dead for this as anything that I've seen them always.
49:04.398 --> 49:06.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Alba hits a DDT, tornado DDT.
49:06.562 --> 49:07.223
[SPEAKER_00]: She goes for a cover.
49:07.243 --> 49:07.944
[SPEAKER_00]: She gets a new foe.
49:08.004 --> 49:12.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Julia recovered, pulled, at Alba, bought her hair to slam her down.
49:12.312 --> 49:16.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Alba found herself trapped in an octopus stretch.
49:16.939 --> 49:20.626
[SPEAKER_00]: But escaped as she and Julia rolled around in the ring to get a pinfall attempt.
49:21.207 --> 49:24.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Alba could Julia in the face, but could not get away.
49:24.392 --> 49:30.102
[SPEAKER_00]: This angered Julia, then Julia ended her catching Alba fire in the Arrivedetachi.
49:30.773 --> 49:39.604
[SPEAKER_00]: knee, and it ended up in what was a four minute match, northern light striver to finish one, two, three, and that was it.
49:41.526 --> 49:43.489
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the second heel versus heel match.
49:45.731 --> 49:54.402
[SPEAKER_00]: We got an eye jacks and lash legend against the Kabuki Warriors heel versus heel, and then we got
49:56.086 --> 50:02.452
[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost as if WWE didn't do any thinking before piecing this show together.
50:02.472 --> 50:03.873
[SPEAKER_00]: They were like, we don't give a fuck.
50:03.893 --> 50:05.394
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going on Christmas vacation.
50:05.715 --> 50:06.355
[SPEAKER_00]: Peace out.
50:06.976 --> 50:08.177
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you in two weeks.
50:08.297 --> 50:13.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go eat my gingerbread cookies and drink my egg naga latte, spiked, extra hard.
50:13.922 --> 50:15.003
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll see you guys in two weeks.
50:16.905 --> 50:17.485
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
50:22.530 --> 50:24.692
[SPEAKER_00]: The Wyatt 6, they address Solosacoa.
50:25.752 --> 50:37.288
[SPEAKER_00]: in their creepy backstage, vignette, Uncle Howdy had his voice all distorted, which was a lot better than him cutting a promo in the ring, last week.
50:39.772 --> 50:41.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't hear a fucking word they said.
50:43.457 --> 50:44.378
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what they said.
50:44.418 --> 50:45.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Does anybody know what they said?
50:47.062 --> 50:47.903
[SPEAKER_00]: He was all distorted.
50:50.146 --> 50:51.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me see if I can find what he said.
50:54.406 --> 51:06.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Uncle Howdy talked about truth lying beneath the surface and said the image they portray will send solos to co-estamely into a whole new world of adversity and abandonment with nowhere to run.
51:06.964 --> 51:14.895
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, solo will be on his journey and it will force him and his family to surrender.
51:21.997 --> 51:24.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Does anybody take Uncle Howdy seriously when he speaks?
51:24.300 --> 51:24.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause I don't.
51:29.448 --> 51:32.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody Rhodes, he makes his way out there.
51:34.455 --> 51:34.975
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE Champion.
51:37.158 --> 51:40.703
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw Clips of Cody and Oberfemi speaking of call ups.
51:42.085 --> 51:43.628
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the next one that needs to happen.
51:45.370 --> 51:51.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody and Ober clips from Saturday night's main event were aired.
51:52.017 --> 51:53.079
[SPEAKER_00]: and calls it a contest.
51:53.940 --> 51:55.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody's in the ring, he salutes the crowd.
51:56.484 --> 52:00.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk about what happens at Drew McIntyre's home, which we saw earlier in the show.
52:00.810 --> 52:07.059
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Drew said, WWE is right now and unsafe work environment.
52:07.600 --> 52:10.144
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Drew is surrounded by second rate.
52:11.035 --> 52:12.056
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not second rate.
52:12.337 --> 52:19.026
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Drew is surrounded by second generation wrestlers, MMA stars, NIL, college athletes.
52:19.828 --> 52:23.613
[SPEAKER_00]: So what would be a safe environment for Drew McIntyre?
52:23.753 --> 52:24.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Staples?
52:26.677 --> 52:28.280
[SPEAKER_00]: All this comes on out.
52:29.542 --> 52:33.567
[SPEAKER_00]: And Cody doesn't seem to understand the trouble that he's got himself and the company into.
52:34.589 --> 52:40.317
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Cody made Drew's point for him and now he has to make a bad deal because he made him look like a liar.
52:41.073 --> 52:48.280
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Cody is his friend, and a QB1, but he's not above the law.
52:49.301 --> 52:52.864
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Cody should have trusted him to get this thing over the finish line.
52:53.325 --> 52:59.671
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, when Drew comes back, he pays his fine and apologize to the ref, or apologizes to the ref.
53:00.071 --> 53:10.641
[SPEAKER_00]: And he can't lay a finger on Drew, or he is going to be stripped of the WWE Championship courtesy of Nick Aldis.
53:10.722 --> 53:14.246
[SPEAKER_00]: But in the spirit of all those demands, he wanted to ask him one thing.
53:14.986 --> 53:18.450
[SPEAKER_00]: He told all of us, he seems to have forgotten who the hell he's talking to.
53:19.050 --> 53:23.315
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, he's the one who sent a tweet that changed the game.
53:25.036 --> 53:33.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Cody today in 2025 is still referencing the fact that AEW would not have become a thing if it wasn't for him.
53:34.686 --> 53:35.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
53:35.798 --> 53:38.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Throw it in their face, all you want, quarterback.
53:38.562 --> 53:40.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Throw it in their face, all you want.
53:40.104 --> 53:41.706
[SPEAKER_00]: I love when they cry.
53:41.746 --> 53:48.454
[SPEAKER_00]: They're biggest stars left them in the dust and they have not recovered since I love it.
53:50.998 --> 53:53.381
[SPEAKER_00]: I sent the tweet that changed the game.
53:54.061 --> 53:57.186
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he came back and won the Royal Rumble twice two years in a row.
53:57.506 --> 53:59.248
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's the reigning king of the ring.
53:59.609 --> 54:03.814
[SPEAKER_00]: And he unceded Roman Reigns and even defeated John Cena for the title, I have around my shoulder.
54:04.773 --> 54:34.257
[SPEAKER_00]: I am QB1, damn it, I guess, I guess that kind of is a playoff, the tribal chief, and the original tribal chief, one, OTC one, so we got OTC one, and then we got QB1, G, I wonder what they're setting up for a WrestleMania, it's going to be OTC one versus QB1, that
54:35.840 --> 54:39.986
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he is the law, because he holds the WWE Championship.
54:40.387 --> 54:43.812
[SPEAKER_00]: As long as I hold the WWE title, I don't work for you.
54:43.832 --> 54:45.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I work for the fans.
54:46.456 --> 54:49.520
[SPEAKER_00]: You, all this, my friend, you work for me.
54:52.305 --> 54:56.110
[SPEAKER_00]: For when Cody wants to cut a badass promo, Cody knows that a cut a badass promo.
54:56.951 --> 55:00.717
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one thing I like about Cody, when Cody speaks and he's angry, he's believable.
55:02.435 --> 55:08.441
[SPEAKER_00]: This is why I said weeks ago, man, I like this version of Cody Rhodes, the politics and the fucking politician, Cody Rhodes.
55:09.022 --> 55:18.351
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's fine when the moment calls for it, but man, you're a pro wrestler, you're the champion, you're fucking enemy number one to everybody on the roster bro.
55:18.371 --> 55:23.936
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to have a fucking spine and you need to be angry with eyes everywhere, man.
55:23.957 --> 55:24.957
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gunnin' for you.
55:26.039 --> 55:27.480
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no Mr. Nice guy here.
55:29.198 --> 55:33.424
[SPEAKER_00]: Play your role as your baby face and be a fucking badass dude.
55:34.286 --> 55:35.267
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exactly what he's doing.
55:35.287 --> 55:36.229
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to this.
55:36.830 --> 55:37.751
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I would not.
55:38.672 --> 55:40.375
[SPEAKER_00]: I would not play it safe.
55:41.016 --> 55:46.504
[SPEAKER_00]: If they are going to do McIntyre and Cody, I'd actually surprise everybody and have McIntyre when the WWE Championship.
55:46.665 --> 55:52.614
[SPEAKER_00]: There is nothing wrong with a three week, four week run from McIntyre's WWE Champion.
55:52.914 --> 55:53.094
[SPEAKER_00]: None.
55:55.418 --> 55:56.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Get that on his resume.
55:57.852 --> 55:59.254
[SPEAKER_00]: the guy is more than earned it.
56:01.578 --> 56:03.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Illya's Reignoff.
56:03.181 --> 56:07.769
[SPEAKER_00]: He came up to Colonel Hayes in the back and thanked him for what he did last week, helping him against the IY.
56:08.951 --> 56:15.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, sit to Mosul Champus, screwed him, so we had to take back what he felt was taking from him.
56:16.223 --> 56:20.130
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Johnny Gorgano just happened to be collateral damage.
56:21.038 --> 56:48.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Striking off said they fight DIY tonight and they will put them down Fraxium walked up and we're stem lock and told them to save some of them for Both Frazier and Axiom Axiom said they stole his mask and they still have to pay for that He says they got their own backs and they don't miss Nathan Frazier says they'll be there anyway You know, they said that last week
56:50.198 --> 56:51.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely wonder what's going on here.
56:51.940 --> 56:56.545
[SPEAKER_00]: They said last week that they would have dragon elves back and they would know where to be found last week.
56:56.565 --> 56:57.966
[SPEAKER_00]: So outcomes Carnello Hayes.
56:59.428 --> 57:03.412
[SPEAKER_00]: They said that again this week and then they would know where to be found again.
57:03.472 --> 57:07.296
[SPEAKER_00]: So it makes me wonder what they're doing.
57:08.777 --> 57:14.063
[SPEAKER_00]: Or they just wires are axiom and Nathan Frazier just wires.
57:18.211 --> 57:34.407
[SPEAKER_00]: DIY Johnny Gogano, it's a muscle champ, they had their different rebel theme music back tonight because they were DIY, they were not just a muscle champ and Johnny Gogano, they were they would DIY tonight.
57:34.427 --> 57:36.890
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got their old, different rebel theme music which is awful.
57:37.390 --> 57:46.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
57:49.953 --> 57:55.279
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm genuinely curious how death rebel actually conceptualizes a song.
57:56.100 --> 58:03.167
[SPEAKER_00]: How is this song born when death rebel writes a song?
58:03.187 --> 58:04.909
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a good TV match.
58:05.209 --> 58:09.334
[SPEAKER_00]: This was in my opinion the best thing on the show.
58:10.055 --> 58:14.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a surprise with Dragon often Carmella Hayes, Johnny Gogano, and Tomaso Chippin.
58:16.025 --> 58:20.584
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Garcono and Champa went after Hayes and Dragon all of almost immediately the family selves.
58:20.817 --> 58:23.702
[SPEAKER_00]: taking out by some dragon oven Hayes double team.
58:24.543 --> 58:27.768
[SPEAKER_00]: Baby faces here take out Champa with big running boots in the corner.
58:28.389 --> 58:32.355
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon off shop down Champa, dragon to their corner is Hayes tagged in.
58:33.036 --> 58:38.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Champa is down, he got hit with a running leg drop from Hayes, dragon off comes back in quick tags.
58:39.025 --> 58:41.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon off stun Champa with a suplex, he goes up top.
58:41.569 --> 58:47.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Candace Lorette got on the apron to distract the referee and Johnny Gorgano pulls dragon off down.
58:49.184 --> 58:57.624
[SPEAKER_00]: So we go into a commercial break, champa cracks, dragging off with a running knee, which sends dragging off flying into the commentary table.
58:58.666 --> 59:00.831
[SPEAKER_00]: And we go into a commercial break from there.
59:02.093 --> 59:02.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Back from the commercial.
59:03.555 --> 59:05.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Champagne Dragon, all the change strikes in the ring.
59:05.557 --> 59:06.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Champagne got dropped.
59:07.239 --> 59:10.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon, off connected with the Constantine special on Johnny Gorgano.
59:11.344 --> 59:13.266
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a lot of ace to enter the match, hot tag.
59:13.827 --> 59:15.809
[SPEAKER_00]: So he comes in big, baby face moves here.
59:16.169 --> 59:17.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, drop Gorgano with the springboard.
59:18.312 --> 59:20.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Close line, signature move from Cornelau.
59:20.875 --> 59:24.439
[SPEAKER_00]: He then followed up with a La Misteca.
59:24.773 --> 59:26.837
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's Mystico's influence there.
59:26.857 --> 59:29.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Lab Mystica for the near fall.
59:30.084 --> 59:31.427
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, it's tagged in Dragonoff.
59:31.447 --> 59:33.852
[SPEAKER_00]: He left over the top rope with a picture perfect.
59:33.872 --> 59:39.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Fuzzberry flop on Champa back in the ring Dragonoff landed the centon on Gargano, but that wasn't enough to end the match.
59:41.767 --> 59:43.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, tag themself back in DIY.
59:43.549 --> 59:45.592
[SPEAKER_00]: You're trying to get the momentum back on their end.
59:46.153 --> 59:51.620
[SPEAKER_00]: Superkick from Gorgano, followed by Project Champa, Dragonal broke up the pinoff project, Champa.
59:52.361 --> 59:56.126
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're throwing into the ring post that rings side by Johnny Gorgano.
59:56.907 --> 59:58.509
[SPEAKER_00]: In the ring, hey, Shroud is springboard again.
59:58.629 --> 01:00:02.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Champa causes the traction, which allowed Candice Loray to interfere.
01:00:03.336 --> 01:00:05.799
[SPEAKER_00]: So a Kermello is going for that bounce back, close line.
01:00:06.019 --> 01:00:09.664
[SPEAKER_00]: And as soon as he bounced, Candice
01:00:09.644 --> 01:00:12.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Fuck with the rope and mellow took a nasty spill.
01:00:13.768 --> 01:00:15.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Case kicked out of champ is neat to the face.
01:00:16.410 --> 01:00:21.275
[SPEAKER_00]: D-I-Y ended up with a fairytale ending super kick on Haze, but again, Carmelo kicks out.
01:00:22.116 --> 01:00:23.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Gargana went champ, but we're in the opposite corners.
01:00:23.938 --> 01:00:25.139
[SPEAKER_00]: They were going to meet them in the middle.
01:00:25.759 --> 01:00:28.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Gargana was blasted by a dragon off to a pedal Moscow.
01:00:28.442 --> 01:00:30.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Haze connected with first 48 on champ.
01:00:30.864 --> 01:00:32.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Champ was then left all alone.
01:00:33.226 --> 01:00:38.031
[SPEAKER_00]: And dragon off got him with the H-bomb, and Haze finished it off with nothing but net.
01:00:38.467 --> 01:00:44.875
[SPEAKER_00]: the one, two, three, the United States championship title picture.
01:00:44.895 --> 01:00:54.227
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though it got a little repetitive with the United States open challenge has been the ideal highlight, the only highlight for Friday, not smack them.
01:00:55.288 --> 01:00:56.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Hase is great.
01:00:56.289 --> 01:00:59.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Big fan of Hase.
01:00:59.753 --> 01:01:05.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Big fan of Dragon
01:01:06.040 --> 01:01:17.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that United States championship should be fucking Uber, Uber competitive and they did a good job with the United States open challenge, but it's been going off for four months now.
01:01:18.443 --> 01:01:23.312
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't really know how else you can go on and make it special.
01:01:24.054 --> 01:01:28.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's nothing really like outside of great wrestling matches.
01:01:28.940 --> 01:01:52.062
[SPEAKER_00]: because I refuse to use that word that sports illustrated fucking absolutely tore down and ruined because of their fucking mark fandom outside of great wrestling matches what else are we doing that they tried to tell a story with to muscle champ and dragon off they still got fucking
01:01:52.598 --> 01:01:54.640
[SPEAKER_00]: from the MFT's time at Tonga.
01:01:55.241 --> 01:01:59.005
[SPEAKER_00]: He's backstage kind of stalking, haze, and dragging all of early on the show.
01:01:59.045 --> 01:02:01.808
[SPEAKER_00]: They got some talent there.
01:02:03.229 --> 01:02:10.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Now next week, I do believe it is dragging off in another open challenge and I do believe he will be granting Carmelo Hayes.
01:02:11.237 --> 01:02:11.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, thank you.
01:02:13.600 --> 01:02:16.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And he will be giving him a second crack at the United States Championship.
01:02:17.725 --> 01:02:23.571
[SPEAKER_00]: which at that point, I heard rumors today and we'll read the report because this is pretty exciting.
01:02:24.391 --> 01:02:25.432
[SPEAKER_00]: I like this news a lot.
01:02:26.433 --> 01:02:34.241
[SPEAKER_00]: Supposedly, trick Williams is set to get called up to the WWE main roster.
01:02:35.622 --> 01:02:45.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is coming from wrestlingnews.co, WWE NXT star backstage at SmackDown,
01:02:46.582 --> 01:02:49.226
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this was a tape show, which was taped on Monday.
01:02:49.266 --> 01:02:53.012
[SPEAKER_00]: So nobody was backstage because this was a tape show.
01:02:53.032 --> 01:02:59.402
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm assuming that they mean backstage at tonight's taping because they did a double taping in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
01:02:59.863 --> 01:03:04.971
[SPEAKER_00]: They taped both raw this coming Monday and smacked down next Friday tonight.
01:03:05.933 --> 01:03:07.736
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why the spoilers are out there.
01:03:07.776 --> 01:03:11.762
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you guys want to avoid the spoilers, then don't go on social media.
01:03:12.788 --> 01:03:24.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Trick Williams is reportedly backstage at tonight's double taping in Grand Rapids WWE Staking over the van as my PC just cracked out.
01:03:25.225 --> 01:03:26.787
[SPEAKER_00]: don't understand these websites.
01:03:27.528 --> 01:03:33.016
[SPEAKER_00]: They're taking over the event and Dell Arena to tape the upcoming episodes of Monday and at RAW Friday, and I'll smack down.
01:03:33.256 --> 01:03:50.200
[SPEAKER_00]: According to BodySlam.natural Williams, his president at the venue, and his expected to be called up to the mayor roster imminently, while the remains on confirmed if he will appear on camera during tonight's tapings, his presence backstage is a showing indicator that his transition from NXT to the mayor roster is approaching.
01:03:50.500 --> 01:03:50.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
01:03:52.102 --> 01:03:52.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
01:03:53.272 --> 01:03:55.154
[SPEAKER_00]: They need talent.
01:03:55.554 --> 01:04:04.923
[SPEAKER_00]: They need call ups and supposedly WWE is very well aware that changes need to happen if they are moving SmackDown back to three hours.
01:04:05.723 --> 01:04:07.685
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to bolster the roster.
01:04:07.745 --> 01:04:10.968
[SPEAKER_00]: They are aware of the depleted roster.
01:04:12.990 --> 01:04:20.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how they are going to do that with tape shows in two weeks of TV time this year to go, but we will see what happens.
01:04:20.437 --> 01:04:21.658
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a good start.
01:04:22.094 --> 01:04:24.476
[SPEAKER_00]: Tric Williams getting called up is a very good start.
01:04:24.536 --> 01:04:29.081
[SPEAKER_00]: If mellow wins the title, wink, wink, and Tric Williams is up.
01:04:29.701 --> 01:04:45.497
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't ask for a better United States championship title program than with those two guys right there, which could ultimately, if they drag it out and give us a substantial story, could be dragged out all WrestleMania season and it could culminate in both of their first WrestleMania matches.
01:04:46.998 --> 01:04:50.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Now what in that be something?
01:04:53.735 --> 01:05:07.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Scholar Flair and the Lexi Bliss, they were asked about why they attacked Lash legend the Naya Jax, the two said that Jax and Lash legend were in their way as they called their shot for the women's 17 titles.
01:05:08.483 --> 01:05:31.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Jake Cargill then appeared and had a brief stare down with Flair and Bliss before Jackie Redmond let Charlotte and Alexa go and then she tried to get a word with Jade about why she attacked Mia Yim last week Cargill said that since it was the season of giving she was going to give mechian a bit of credit for getting back up and that she'll give her a spotlight soon enough.
01:05:32.075 --> 01:05:34.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Cargill promised to knock Meachins lights out once again.
01:05:34.758 --> 01:05:41.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Meachins came from behind all of a sudden and attack Jate Cargill with a candlestick before she was dragged away by Jason Jordan.
01:05:45.650 --> 01:05:48.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody cares.
01:05:48.573 --> 01:05:50.835
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE is not doing this run by Jate Cargill.
01:05:51.856 --> 01:05:52.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Any favors.
01:05:53.858 --> 01:05:55.060
[SPEAKER_00]: This may be one of the worst.
01:05:55.120 --> 01:05:57.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody complained about Tiffany Schratins' run.
01:05:58.332 --> 01:06:02.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Jake Cargill's run is somehow worse than Tiffany Shredd's.
01:06:05.923 --> 01:06:09.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Change the belt, put it on somebody else, same result, garbage.
01:06:11.470 --> 01:06:14.174
[SPEAKER_00]: At least Tiffany knows how to wrestle, Jade does not.
01:06:18.640 --> 01:06:26.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Next week on SmackDown, they ran through the car for next week, Elliott Dragon off US Open
01:06:28.623 --> 01:06:30.465
[SPEAKER_00]: and Drew McIntyre returns.
01:06:32.067 --> 01:06:37.072
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see what Drew McIntyre has to say here in regards to Cody Rhodes and his promo tonight.
01:06:41.096 --> 01:06:53.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Minivan, tag team titles on the line, the Wyatt Six, Dexter Loomison, Joe Gacy, with Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, and Eric Rowan against the MFTs.
01:06:54.779 --> 01:07:01.968
[SPEAKER_00]: J.C. Matteo, Tangolawa, Solosakawa, Tamatonga, and Tolatonga.
01:07:05.393 --> 01:07:09.238
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was J.C. Matteo and Tangolawa.
01:07:09.258 --> 01:07:18.029
[SPEAKER_00]: How they came to the conclusion that these two guys were rushing for the taketim championships when the taketim is Tamatonga and Tangolawa, I don't know.
01:07:18.049 --> 01:07:18.610
[SPEAKER_00]: No idea.
01:07:20.868 --> 01:07:22.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Solow walked through the guerilla position.
01:07:22.410 --> 01:07:31.300
[SPEAKER_00]: He said that the fireflies were going to bear witness to the MFTs, winning the tag team titles as he had the whole world in his hands.
01:07:32.782 --> 01:07:36.226
[SPEAKER_00]: Of a bright wire reference hereby, Solow, Sacoa.
01:07:41.372 --> 01:07:44.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Bell rings, Lumis got a head on, Tonga Loa.
01:07:44.976 --> 01:07:50.082
[SPEAKER_00]: Slides underneath him, hits two uppercuts.
01:07:51.648 --> 01:08:16.710
[SPEAKER_00]: This entire Hershey Pennsylvania crowd could not be bothered to fucking care about anything that happens belt-to-bell.
01:08:16.808 --> 01:08:20.402
[SPEAKER_00]: with Matteo barreling into Joe Gacy with a heart closed line.
01:08:20.944 --> 01:08:25.823
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he caught Lumis and Slantim against the ring post and then Slantim out to the floor.
01:08:28.486 --> 01:08:30.871
[SPEAKER_00]: to come back from the commercial break, the MFTs are in control.
01:08:30.931 --> 01:08:32.454
[SPEAKER_00]: They isolated loomers in their corner.
01:08:33.015 --> 01:08:36.542
[SPEAKER_00]: They tell flattened loomers with a power slam for the near fall.
01:08:36.562 --> 01:08:39.628
[SPEAKER_00]: It's time to lower got tagged in and landed a power slam of the zone.
01:08:40.229 --> 01:08:41.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Loomers starts to wake up.
01:08:41.812 --> 01:08:45.740
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a super kick on time to lower as JC material tried to stop the hot tag.
01:08:46.100 --> 01:08:49.988
[SPEAKER_00]: He got super kick by loomers as Joe Gacy comes in now with a hot tag of his own.
01:08:51.318 --> 01:09:08.803
[SPEAKER_00]: Casey hits a suplex on Mateo as he knocked lower off the apron, he then slammed Mateo with a stalling Saito suplex, but he missed with a springboard dive, which opened him up for a spinning side suplex, only got a two count on the side suplex.
01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:13.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Casey rebounded off the ropes with a handstand closed line on Matteo.
01:09:13.865 --> 01:09:18.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Loa found himself in a unique situation here.
01:09:18.632 --> 01:09:22.757
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in a move, which Joe Gacy got him in.
01:09:23.518 --> 01:09:29.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Both MFT members now find themselves on the outside is Gacy launched into them with a top rope dive.
01:09:30.080 --> 01:09:32.243
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Y at six, it double team moves here.
01:09:32.323 --> 01:09:40.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Double team suplex, powerbomb combo was loomus headed up to the top for a big move, big splash from loomus as Tunga, lower broke up the pin off the big splash.
01:09:41.456 --> 01:09:44.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside the ring, Tullatonga, kick Joe Gacy with the referee's back turned.
01:09:45.421 --> 01:09:52.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Eric Rowan comes over all of a sudden and attack Tullatonga and things break down into a massive roll between both factions.
01:09:53.232 --> 01:09:58.399
[SPEAKER_00]: So the referee ends up throwing out the match because Joe Gacy,
01:09:59.122 --> 01:10:07.084
[SPEAKER_00]: It was attacked by Cholatanga, which then led to Eric Rowan coming over in attacking Cholatanga, and a big brawl broke out between everybody in both groups.
01:10:09.471 --> 01:10:11.055
[SPEAKER_00]: What a way to waste my time, huh?
01:10:13.027 --> 01:10:22.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Gacy, Loomis were held up by Mateo, Tonga, Loa, and Tamatanga as Tolotanga launched himself off the top rope onto everybody.
01:10:22.900 --> 01:10:26.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Rowan then took out Tolotanga with a dropkick and a close line.
01:10:26.545 --> 01:10:27.626
[SPEAKER_00]: He's on the outside.
01:10:27.706 --> 01:10:31.451
[SPEAKER_00]: Nikki Cross comes in the ring and she wanted some action herself.
01:10:32.172 --> 01:10:36.958
[SPEAKER_00]: Rowan, she wants Rowan to throw her over the top rope.
01:10:37.833 --> 01:10:38.454
[SPEAKER_00]: So he does.
01:10:39.154 --> 01:10:43.798
[SPEAKER_00]: He throws Nikki cross over the top rope onto Talatonga at ringside.
01:10:43.818 --> 01:10:46.901
[SPEAKER_00]: So also Koa snuck up on Rowan and dropped him with a Simone spike.
01:10:47.522 --> 01:10:57.250
[SPEAKER_00]: As solo bred, he was in position for Uncle Howdy, sister Abigail Batamatonga jumped him from behind and the Brawl continued with the credits rolling.
01:10:57.691 --> 01:11:07.840
[SPEAKER_00]: We see Paul Ovek and Lee fitting as executive producers with this big brawl happening
01:11:07.820 --> 01:11:10.483
[SPEAKER_00]: this week for Friday night's SmackDown.
01:11:12.305 --> 01:11:13.726
[SPEAKER_00]: The match was boring.
01:11:14.807 --> 01:11:19.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the brawl itself was actually pretty decent.
01:11:20.953 --> 01:11:23.796
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked like they were really beating the shit out of each other out there.
01:11:24.657 --> 01:11:33.366
[SPEAKER_00]: So I didn't mind the brawl so much, but not really a good SmackDown at all and not a really good way to end the show with this main event.
01:11:33.886 --> 01:11:37.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, main event between two teams that nobody legitimately
01:11:39.055 --> 01:11:39.756
[SPEAKER_00]: It's tough to care.
01:11:40.516 --> 01:11:41.017
[SPEAKER_00]: It really is.
01:11:41.998 --> 01:11:46.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Why it's six are fucking ice cold and the MFTs.
01:11:47.563 --> 01:11:50.086
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they're out there wearing this white face paint, man.
01:11:50.106 --> 01:11:52.087
[SPEAKER_00]: They look like a bunch of fucking jobbers.
01:11:52.988 --> 01:11:56.612
[SPEAKER_00]: Like nobody, nobody knows what they're about.
01:11:57.192 --> 01:12:02.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody gives a shit about who they are and nobody has any reason to legitimately care about them.
01:12:02.738 --> 01:12:06.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside, they're solo's boys and solo is a part of the cool family.
01:12:12.417 --> 01:12:21.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Another taped Christmas episode, a show so boring Santa is not going to come down the WWE chimney this year.
01:12:23.467 --> 01:12:26.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys for your support here on this show.
01:12:26.750 --> 01:12:28.091
[SPEAKER_00]: Completely dead stream tonight.
01:12:28.151 --> 01:12:31.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I was better off not even streaming.
01:12:31.895 --> 01:12:35.218
[SPEAKER_00]: I was better off not even streaming.
01:12:35.238 --> 01:12:37.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Really contemplating taking the rest of the year off.
01:12:38.020 --> 01:12:41.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I don't know what we're going to do.
01:12:42.016 --> 01:13:07.753
[SPEAKER_00]: show is awful.
01:13:10.298 --> 01:13:15.706
[SPEAKER_00]: And please leave me a comment down below, and let me know what you thought of SmackDown and anything at all, anything at all.
01:13:17.549 --> 01:13:20.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Anything at all.
01:13:20.875 --> 01:13:21.996
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to do these super chats.
01:13:23.739 --> 01:13:27.705
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be out here in a five minute, not even five minutes, maybe less than that.
01:13:27.725 --> 01:13:32.613
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Krause with the Tidal Superjet JDOTS will we hear role model tonight.
01:13:32.673 --> 01:13:33.735
[SPEAKER_00]: No, we didn't hear role model.

[SPEAKER_00]: Michael.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:13:47.079 --> 01:13:48.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Michael.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's good.
01:13:59.454 --> 01:14:07.744
[SPEAKER_00]: So that may be... That may mean that he may be on his way to getting work.
01:14:10.913 --> 01:14:18.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Twister, 1296 with a 99-9-9, did I not gonna watch SmackDown tonight watching Alabama vs. Oklahoma, huge college football fan.
01:14:19.323 --> 01:14:22.707

[SPEAKER_00]: Keith tongue-stall Jr. with a new membership.
01:14:25.751 --> 01:14:30.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Keith, thank you for being here, brother.

01:14:33.480 --> 01:14:36.864
[SPEAKER_00]: To the Super Chat, didn't watch SmackDown, WWE gave me no reason to watch.
01:14:36.904 --> 01:14:39.047
[SPEAKER_00]: They absolutely gave you no reason to watch.
01:14:41.255 --> 01:14:44.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Ness Coney with a 2D Super Jets Macdown needs to be on 2B.
01:14:49.407 --> 01:14:54.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Carlos with a 199 top 5 favorite Shramonti solo songs.
