I'm good man, things are rocking and rolling

3:03Yeah, this weekend was insane I witnessed it through memes and clips So keep doing you guys In our Discord, of course Our Discord caught me up to snuff So it's gonna, it's gonna be an interesting competition Because while I admit AEW is doing incredible Are we still comparing apples to oranges? This is my question Mmm, mmm So we will get there when we get there Because I think there's a good conversation to have Around what is this? What is going on? Yeah, there is a very interesting thing going on That a lot of wrestling fans may have to come to grips with And it's not necessarily a bad thing But it's just realizing, oh, there's a times they are a change in I'll put it that way But the more things change, the more they do say the same Because wrestling police is back everybody Who wanted that, that PLE back Rest of Alusa is going to, it's going to Perf Offshore Because some for some reason they can't get the Sydney Um, Saturday, December 12th There is gonna be a December PLE for WWE for the first time

4:06In a very, very, a long time It's gonna be mixed with Friday nights Macdown On December 11th And Raw 2 Days, they don't have to rest of Alusa On December 14th This apparently is also part of a three year agreements Where WWE agrees to bring one PLE per year to Australia So it could be, it's Reza blusa now I know what they had, we had Crown Jewel, uh, what last year Yep In Perth And we've had a elimination chamber in Perth Yep As well, so we're gonna continue so And what is the next PLE that's gonna go to Australia? After this Well, this, so they keep going back, that means tickets are good But at the same time, if you're gonna keep going back, you gotta keep up in the Ante, so the next logical step into progression for me is money in the bank I like money in the bank For money in the bank for 2027

5:07Uh-huh Because also, money in the bank is moved, it's not in June anymore And then we've had to like It's next month It's next month in September They always moved money in the bank, which is weird Yeah, because they used to it in July, then they did it in June June, yeah Like I, I don't, I like money in the bank, because one time they did it right after Mania And like April, like Arme as well That was a good time for it In 2020 Something like that Right after Mania, because it's like, where do you put it? Because it is something that can completely screw up your storylines Yeah I think the problem with money in the bank is that WWE Typically wants their main title holder to have a lengthy reign Like all of them have been, like Cody flip flopped a little bit But he still mainly had the title So I think that's kind of the the predicament that my in the bank is in Do you put it right after Mania as a reset? Or do you do what you're doing now? I put it right before Mania as a setup I don't know How do I ask you, my in the banks have kind of winners have been forgettable

6:09I like the idea of It being after Mania Not necessarily as a reset Like it being after Mania but having until Mania to cash it in Yeah But then again that could make it more No, no the year, I think it does And the year, I like the year Because you always forget when was money in the bank Right Like it always fun to lose around so much And we've never seen someone go the full year and not cash it in We got close a couple We got close I think theory got pretty close We're Carmella Carmella also got really close Carmella got really close Yeah So Do you want to do that? I don't know But it's sort of a number four It's one thing we've heard Yes Sideburn gone Carmella's gonna bring us a label We can bring it up now since we got her name out there She is officially done with wrestling She has gone on In the public on a podcast saying Quote I cannot do wrestling anymore I cannot wrestling anymore I believe So

7:10Yeah I mean she's had several kids And she's probably banged up Probably to everything as well And also like Cory's on the road all the time Yeah so someone's got to think about it And it's not And Cory has kids from a prior marriage To as well So it's probably a lot What do you say Maybe she loves being a mom That's also true too And I do kind of I missed the Carmella character I thought she was really entertaining In all of her It's amazing She found it She did Yeah She found the character The wrestling wasn't Like it wasn't bad She did get better But like could you trust Carmella To lead a program with a young girl Like could you trust Carmella To lead the program with Roxanne Perez I don't know because I remember some of my grachos With Carmella's that she always needs a man next to her In all of her things And I thought she Yeah And during her run Like her and true for entertaining us how Um But there was always somebody next to Carmella

8:11Like to kind of guide her Like remember what was she had like the Somalia And it was Reggie Oh my god Yeah That's fucking hilarious Like she had good title reigns Like sure She could be a Hall of Fame Where I think she's qualifies Yes, she had to see how to literally iconic passion Yeah Where the iconic showed up Beat up Charlotte and she came out And Kyoto And Kyoto went on the podcast And said he deliberately fucked with her That's funny Do you remember that cash And he was like you want to cash it right now Just show this one Right now this is like Like Because she starts screaming at the top of her lungs Right now Right now Like mad But he goes Long Island right No, Staten Island Uh no She's Her gimmick is from Staten Island The Staten Island Yeah That's all These are Massachusetts or something I forgot exactly where she's from But I remember Like Kamala with the He went to go like give it to the dancer Have any turned around Is like are you sure Are you sure

9:14It was good so So happy I have a retirement Kamala The only thing I wish I wish you would have seen What was going to happen before she left Which was Uh Her and Chelsea Green as a parent I thought they were going to be All amazing Yeah Yeah I have a hey good for her I hope she's I hope she's happy I hope this is the choice she wanted to make And not once she had to make Agreed Agreed But yeah Money in the bank in Australia would actually be dope I do like the idea of They got three years Do you think they give them a big one I think money in the bank is perfect It's the It's the it's the unofficial Uh Core 5 fifth one Fifth major It's the fifth major Core 4 Yeah If it was a big one Give them rumble I think rumble like Rumble down under kind of cells itself Yeah rumble Yeah rumble down under that works Yeah I think it kind of sells itself I like if they're going to give them one I would give them the rumble

10:16Because I think the rumble is is a great time Because that's a guaranteed sellout Guaranteed sell it's also afternoon wrestling for us Yeah, I feel like you would get A decent amount of like Japanese fans Tourism touring down there too If you'd go to where rumble Mm-hmm. They I mean just in general That's not that far for flight for them I mean for my for my decades ago when I was in Australia There was a lot of Asian tourists in Australia Oh, yeah, like often It's right there It's proximity. Yeah It's a little bit south But yeah, it's close to the close to the to Australia then we are Great balls of fire Do not do not give them that What so ever but yes Restful is a Going to to Perth in December But before that crown jewels back baby and its home Country of or city of Riyadh The Saudi Arabia Saturday November 7th listen to crown jewel thing it's It's the all-star game

11:17This one It's the all-star game and I'm flying with it I will do this and war games in the same month Yeah, I don't like that They are I don't like that They are You know why because I don't have one in September so they're making up for it Yeah, fair but the same time they're doubling down. Yeah Survivor series needs to stop being war games. It was a great for the first time It was fun the second time last year's card was not great In the world war games is getting stale On the men's side we at least have a war games that's clearly being set up Yeah, I mean it makes sense sure do it I think it's like war games is like a hell of a cell you do it when it makes sense You don't just do it because it's November Yeah, I think also nxc Did it better on a yearly basis because they were able to set it up better Mm-hmm, you know weird way even when it did like OG like black and yellow versus nxc 2.0 that still works

12:18Um, well, they also had strong factions. They had like the undisputed era plus two You know it just it always works So they had good factions like WWE right now has factions but last year kind of said I was just Hodgepodge versus Hodgepodge Yeah, I think if you do it right this year Again, if they do right this year for for um war games I think the way things are setting up right now raw will get the men's war games and smack that will get the women's war games Yeah I think but yeah, let's come back. I like the crown jewel thing I love I love those goddess belts and that big ass rig like it's a cool little tradition It's a cool visual It's a cool visual and it's a cool little let's see who's the best of the best who we think is the best of the champion of the champions Which is fine So which oh my god, which means we can get Roman and punk again Ha Yeah, yeah, that'd be fine We can get Roman and punk again I'm not gonna lie. I know I know kale is didn't win but Roman versus KO

13:21I don't think we've seen that no we saw that we saw that we saw that we're rumble and Kavine almost Remember like Roman ran him over to golf court and he got stuck yeah and Paul tried to sell it could They could say like lost the kid yeah Like yeah, yeah, that was really funny. They couldn't get it out. Yeah um Why not war games and Saudi come come on frats. You know why yeah, it's why put something Yeah, you know why but yeah, I like the crown jewel like you know what is I like crown jewel now It has something to do because we're going to crown jewel with just an event Yeah It was just about now it kind of gives it a little bit more purpose So that is that is that is a okay with me, but let's go to the biggest story of this weekend and the last several days AEW all in might have put on the best show this year of any wrestling uh promotion In the world

14:22We're gonna we're gonna put the results here on the bottom you have brand new champions and will osprey And Mercedes Monet as well as Darby Allen winning um on jr. A one the casino gauntlet As well and you had a big return in Brit Baker return them the pre-shared I told you she would come back You like no not a chance Well, yeah, she came but well, it's been years since we've seen her I know I know we had no Years I saw her in the news the other day. I was like yeah, she's probably gonna come back like I don't what's raw and Osadberg real quick Robert taped on Monday, right not live It was taped correct. I was gonna say because I saw I did we pretty statement of far too saying mother fuckers on like Saturday I'm like what there's this but there's someone there's someone in a live crowd recorded it so you can hear them say mother fucker Um makes more sense because he had a raw head be filmed Um interesting. Yeah, but yeah anyway um Yeah, Brit Baker welcome back good for her Brit Baker welcome bag. I will save us

15:28They and I didn't think it was gonna work out uh But they did put they did put the women's championship and the men's championship back to back Interesting it worked it worked really well did it work out so uh was it was at the same moment twice at Sasha win Yeah, Mercedes won. Okay. Sorry Mercedes. Mercedes. Yeah, you can I think we all say Sasha No, no you should say Mercedes. She just Mercedes. Yeah, she's and I mean Mercedes is entrance. She did a little black swanis entrance So like she had a bunch of ballerinas dressing like black like as the black swan And then she came out and she revealed she was in lighter colors. She came as like the queen of hearts essentially. What's her gimmick? Mm-hmm Um Mercedes not Mercedes. Sorry um willow came out She did the whole promo package was like a whole story I'm like this is the story of a girl named willow who wanted to rule the world

16:29But there's a girl Mercedes who didn't think she deserved it like it was it was cute Um, but yet it a good match Willow broke Mercedes knows like five minutes into the match. Oh like legit It was when she did a she did a swing into the barricade with Mercedes And boom immediately bloody So Mercedes rest of the rest of the match will have broken those god damn Like I don't think the match is supposed to get color but it did because it just happened But yeah, no, it was a fun match. Do you know how she won? She did a variation of the bank statement aka her chokehold submission But she wrapped because will because they had willow like a broken hand So she wrapped willow's hand around her and like choked her out at the same point Did she still what what did she call her finisher now There's a statement. There's one called the money maker which is like a slam

17:29Um, I forgot what it's I forgot what she calls it like the submission now Um, but yeah, no she has she always like kind of having willow choke herself out and acts my phone willow's broken hand Was trying to reach for For rope and she pulled the stop on the fucking hand like she did the Bailey. She does love dude that's such a If she's so That one spot. It's such a great spot Did you ever have you ever heard her talk about that? It wasn't I know why I heard you talk about her talking about it. Yeah, it was an ad lib This stop was an ad lib though when her and Bailey did the stumbles an ad lib damn Yeah, she just did it on the spot That's cool Yeah, um, but no it was it was a really good callback or say these ended up winning I before we before we have to talk about the main events can you make it a willow spray With bananas how long do they go? About 40 And that's including like intro and all about yeah, no, no, no, still like good for them

18:33That's crazy. Their intros were really great So they showed the video pack as they created for them and then for Willow spray's entrance Willow spray had his own video package and it was up his mom So they showed they showed footage of him as a kid and his mom was talking over it and introducing him She's like you're a great son you're a loving husband. You're a great father everybody loves you You know, we're doing this all for you like we're all here for you He was really yeah, and so then they they did a long walk So they had him walk through the that a camera walking in through and so when he walked he had people from his old fax in New Japan the United Empire Walk with him and as he was walking he passed by all of his older rivals. So he passed by Zach Saber's he passed by Zach Saber Jr He passed by Ricka Shay I'm there all in like his walkway to to grow all his stepping stones to the top all the stepping stones he passed by

19:33It was Saber ricochet He passed by someone from New Japan, but I forgot who he was or someone from Europe He passed by two people when he was in a non-Kalus family marked Davis his best friend and Kyle flexor proto star Who we had a rivalry with when he gets to gorilla His wife Alex Windsor who won the tag titles earlier was standing there waiting for him Getting like a hug in a kiss His his boys from his old fax and put on his jacket for him and right when he's about to walk out John Moxley comes from the comes out of the curtain and hands him the union jack UK flag Hmm. That's cool. Yeah, it was it was really cool. You get the right answer. That's really cool man. Yeah, say ask people let's me go go. That's just details Rest that rest It was it was a wrestling moment for wrestling fans exactly Yeah, oh he also passed by Swarth As well nice he passed by Swarth before he went into the rap into gorilla

20:35Um or what we would call gorilla Uh, oh, it's Callum Newman and United Empire that's correct and Michael it was Michael Oku from Red Pearl Thank you guys. Thank you Durand. This is why you're here Michael Oku from Red Pearl was one of his Early indie promotion that he got famous awful Uh, oh, that's also that's also a good moment too. That's also a good idea Fred said a Vader was so alive. He'd probably he'd probably be one of it One of them. Does remember get the he had the fight with Vader Osprey had a fight with Vader because remember Vader was like I don't like all the flipie shit. Yeah. Oh right Yeah, this was like a long time ago Man, I forgot about that Yeah, yeah It was it was Vader so he came up with the Union Jack His his Union Jack The the whole entrance was crazy amounts of pyro for him So then when he went to Kenny So Kenny's video package. It's walks out. No, no Kenny's video package was done by a Japanese announcer like a new Japan announcer Oh, that's cool

21:35And with the translation and they showed like hit all of his old new Japan footage And it's like any pretty much was like you're not done. You can be better Hmm Yeah And it's like you can go I think it's like you it's time for you to go plus ultra Which is like saying pretty much it's time for you to be like the biggest and baddest version of yourself San Diego is super saying pretty much. Yeah time for you to go to super saying and He came out of what he got to the bottom the young bucks were with him young books help take off his ring gear Yeah, that checks yeah, and so so you had a couple and um Excalibur very rightly said it is tradition in new Japan Pro Wrestling that your faction is at a ringside with you So we'll ask for how does people and Kenny had his people at a ring side they didn't interfere they were just there watch Mm-hmm It's really cool and they They beat the shit out of each other. I saw they were both busted open

22:38Yes, I think that was on purpose um of course. Yeah, no he uh Kenny that was the close to the cleaner Kenny. I've seen them a really long time Like very like just like straight villain Hmm straight villain and it was Plus Ultras from my hero academia. So it was an anime reference which I was not aware but thank you. Oh Thank you to kwan and I remember at one time Kenny like There was like there was like a table that was there was a cloth that was covered in taboos because you want to see a magic trick And he pulls the cloth out and it's a table Yeah, I think Kenny hit Will Osprey with Like a TV from one of the announced tables and when the will Osprey tried to come in from the tent count And Kenny read and v triggered him as he's trying to roll into the ring Ow Okay, he's like I don't think he made it

23:40Like I don't think he rolled it It was so good and so brutal um Freakin the match really turned up when Osprey hit a tiger driver So you know there's like seven different tiger drivers Mm-hmm He hit the original tiger driver the one where you land on your neck Mm-hmm Yeah, he will hit the tiger driver on Kenny and he landed like pretty much at the base of his neck Yeah, I was like oh, I don't know if we're good Do this safely guys Yeah, there was a bunch of just wild things that happened and then at one point Will Osprey hit Kenny with a hit and blade that actually legit busted Kenny open That's where Kenny started bleeding That was when it was legit I think that was legit busted open like like will Osprey came in full speed and just whacked him into heaven and elbow Damn Yeah And then when you get to the par was like the pen ultimate of the match

24:41Where you think Kenny is down for recount Will Osprey hit him with a hit and blade and Kenny kicked out of one That's all Yeah And then he you know I heard he had a little style class and Kenny kicked out of one again Like the it was a nuts match. It was an amazing finish One of the hey search holes one of the best matches I've seen might be the match of the year just from all the emotion and all that All that stuff and according to the AW announced team Will Osprey is the first UK born Professional wrestler To win a world championship in the United Kingdom in the UK. Yeah Damn in all of rest well, yes, you have a British Bulldog never won anything Nope, not the world title Bristol the one thing I see William Regal nothing nothing Nigel obviously nothing. Yeah Drew Scottish

25:43Shamist is Irish well, it's still the UK, but yeah, but no, but like yeah, like London like you like you know to get In the UK. Yeah, yeah Uh, Nick Alders nothing nothing Not in WWE at least. Yeah Um, god pd Williams nothing he's an agent there now Yeah, we had not a good not a great track record for the UK a lot of the carters a lot of yeah We have an upper mccarders Nothing upper man also in the match O'Cotta beating Fletcher and Kenosuke the catcher in a fantastic match Really really fun. I saw Kenosuke the catcher So you know when you like when you uh, essentially you hit somebody with like a German suplex the menu roll and do like you know It's actually like an O'Cotta roll. Yeah He went to do that and then Kyle Fletcher came and he suplexed him As well still in like the role position. So he had he pretty much double suplex them and was going for the pin on both Which is a crazy thing uh Darby Allen beat Kevin Knight in the false out underwear match. It's guess who came to help him pop a sting

26:46Because someone can't stay goddamn retired Was that it was that is Kate on him with the on the on the ladder. Yeah, that was his kid Yeah, he looks a lot like him Yeah, Steve Gordon is You yeah, that's Steve Gordon not Stephen Gordon. Yeah, that's Steve Gordon Is fucking massive. Oh, yeah, yeah, it was really funny. It's great. Put a title on that kid Yeah, no, he's a body guy. He's good um, he it was really funny Because like stink time to ladder and then his son climb ladder. He's like I can do this Go sit Get off that fucking ladder And it's and things like you sure he's just like yes. Yes. I got it He's like Darby's holding the ladder for me He can hold the side. It's a family affair. Oh Darby did a coffin job all of a stage setting setup. Oh, of course you did Mm-hmm that man is that man's a second. You know what I want to be Mick Foley so bad. I want to be a Mick Foley Shane archetype

27:50Yeah, um, so that match was kind of insane the Broding Brood's Broding bird sorry Broding Birds won the tag titles Job moxie defeated Nigel McGinnis To retain the continental championship uh But we have to talk about what actually started for show so I watched the pre show of a W all-in Okay, and they had a couple of matches opposite we sent for a baker return on the pre show as well So the culmination of the pre show match or the pre show segment of it was uh the Trio's Gauntlet match to Trio's casino Gauntlet match essentially Or Gauntlet Royale where the fuck they called it I totally forgot essentially the preface of this event was The Trio's the A bunch of Trio's shamans will come in like kind of Roy Rumble style of different intervals And then you have to get thrown over the top rope individually Uh to get eliminated so like as long as one person from your faction is in the match

28:50You still have a chance to win the Trio's championships That makes sense. Yeah, okay So we're going through there's seven teams there's six teams and then one mystery team Okay, they had about 20 minutes to do this Okay Before versus started all the six teams are in there It's and I'm watching it and I'm on the phone with my friends are Charles um and I'm like they're wasting time because they don't know when this other mystery factions come and you can tell by how they're performing I was like no one told them It's what it looked like and so As I as my worst-fear thing is like oh We're you know this match is going to continue on the main cat on the like the main broadcast So it cuts off in the middle of the match Or the main to the go to the main show yeah exactly Oh, that sucks

29:51Yeah, like you got you got blueballed I get it from a marketing perspective, but my thing is like if you're if that match is supposed to be On the pre-show and you were lauding about how you're only going to do eight matches on the main show. Yeah Leave it on the pre-show Yeah, do it. Yeah, how many people is that going to be like Okay, fine now I'll buy it, but you go off fuck Exactly people don't buy things when they're pissed off Yeah, so yeah also I also I knew it was like I can go back to watching AAA Yeah, and and xd heatwave Yeah, I'm with you I get the idea bad idea learned from that bad idea They've done this multiple times. That's also my issue Do it didn't do it or don't put it on the pre-show or put it on the main card Do it down because like what if like vinceted that back in the day Oh my god before no before they're a guaranteed contracts Yeah, you get a bigger payday if you're on the main card or you're the main event

30:52So like what kind of payday would those people get most of their matches on the pre-show for free So like oh, yeah, purse is smaller That's what what yeah exactly like it's the same match Yeah, that that breaks that breaks wrestling logic And marketing logic and consumer behavior logic Yeah, it's it's a it's a bad thing so you get to the main thing you get to the main show Obviously the mystery team is next Swere comes out with Prince Nana by himself when all of a sudden there's a hustle over the crowd And you hear a sap frags i'm on a new level or of a build to i'm on a new level and the first thing You see like a little silhouette you saw the video i probably put in this card and then right before the beat drops You see press start And then they debut the new the new day debut as the new level Would a really great entrance um And they are now known as awesome austin creed because whatever awesome whatever savory ones

31:52On the column. So it's awesome austin creed and cozy Did awesome creed would have been fine awesome creed Oh because only Xavier Woods could be able to pull that off Yeah awesome creed is like it's a dumb name. It's like a a user gamer tag for your first Xbox 360 account It is it is one who'd be like yeah duh awesome awesome creed I'm talking awesome awesome austin is this too much a it's too much liberation Yeah, it's yeah, it is yeah, it is so they came out the obviously won very richrios champions now with Swere So it's Swere and the new level Um Also creed is totally is creator wrestler no mercy it definitely is So so that was a good just the hot pop the crowd went ballistic The new day they viewing on AEW as now as the level flooded social media over the weekend. That's one of the things mostly everybody talked about

32:53Yeah, of course mostly everybody talked about they Everything was what happened they got low ball. They're gonna make more money than ever. Mm-hmm And we're all gonna follow We're all gonna follow you know um and then you had one one thing to really talk about is the men's tag team match Cajun cope edgian christian beat the young box And it's not about the match itself the match is fine. It's what happened after the match So you have the young bucks in the ring cage and cope in the ring Then the motor sitting machine guns came out yep Then FTR came out all the matches we'll be in the scene in the next year and then the new level a cave a new day Also came out as well and they're all in the ring together And it's pretty much efficient now AEW Has the greatest tag team Division ever possibly ever a sever. Yeah, ever. This is ever. Yeah. The only thing you're missing Because one group retired

33:54Is the dully boys and the hardies and the eusses and the eusses. Yeah, you're only missing three Well the rest of them. It's right there. Yeah At least at least that's still alive or relevant. Yeah, it's like you know Who like who threw out history should be there also is it the greatest tag teams Well, it's gonna do them obviously, but they're all good book dead. Yeah new age. You know, I was and anyway, it's hot loss. Yeah um Well, yeah, no, this is the greatest tag team division ever assembled in the history of wrestling Yeah, and if you're going to tune in for anything at this point, you're tuning in for tag team wrestling in AEW Yeah, like every conceivable match that you can probably think of can happen now Yeah, the young bucks are really like tag matches. I actually enjoy watching that aren't like Just give it tag matches Yeah, like like Hulk Hogan an edge Yeah Like even loads of FTR. I love watching FTR work. Yeah, they're very good Oh, and then Trump and Gagano soon soon coming soon probably soon. Yeah, so that's gonna be even better to better

35:02River River tag team Yeah, so I feel like that's coming very very soon That's great and this this card as a whole like it says probably the best show of any of any progressive wrestling promotion It's a W has hit I don't a new level essentially. Yeah, they're they're they're really yeah They've got it. You know what it is because like You they don't need to rely on Kenny anymore Kenny is officially pass a sorts of little ask right You don't need to rely on the bucks because now it's not enough. You don't need to rely on the bucks But the bucks have people to play with now. Yeah And it's I think it's a good mixture of homegrown talent kind of kind of and and you know nostalgia acts WBW guys Mm-hmm like at this point There's also like a difference like swerve I do not consider WWE guy Even though we came from yeah, he is more known as he's an 80 guy any guy in the WG. Yeah, FTR same thing Sure, you got into them all in. Yep there and they are in AEW like they're not homegrown

36:05But they are an AEW that property for lack of a better word I agree I agree especially with swerve Like swerve was an as an a is an all-in main eventer with one of would that probably the best match of that year when him and Brian Danielson Yep, we also Brian danston he is The first African American a w world champion they did it in five years When it took like wwe 50 yeah, you know I think eight years doing a very good job of using WBW talent for the most part Especially like now like recently because they they fumbled with Alistair black they fumbled with Andrade They fumbled with a few other people prior But they're doing a really good job with edgid Christian Andrade's andrade said a crazy stride Andrade just hit a crazy stride like I feel like they finally figured out what to do with guys who come over from WWE Regussace pittin has pittin quite well Regussace fit in well sure yeah sure he does what he needs to do

37:08In a position in where he wasn't WWE he's not a great position but he's relevant I mean on them Yeah, he's relevant he he gets his reactions the way he's supposed to You know, and it's interesting like even though with all the titles the titles are kind of I finally figured out like the like Where the titles away? Yeah, yeah now like the you know the hierarchy of the titles outside of the main titles But it a w finds a way to get most of a talent something to do Yeah, yeah, they've definitely found their place in the market Yeah, which is exactly what they needed to do Mm-hmm, and you know that'll bring us to our Competition with WWE conversation once we don't know the card Yeah, I think with with AW as well. They're finally now because remember their promises We're gonna give we're gonna have a focus on women and tag team and people of color and it Took a couple of years For them to kind of because it was it was kind of like are you sure about that? You know, but now like look at it. You have there's a bunch of

38:13Performers of color that have gotten good notoriety within a w um You know swerve is like your prime example. Yeah, Willa nightingale Yep as well Queen Emma not only she was around two months a Athena for a little bit whenever she shows up um Also the hurts in the kit like giving them a researches You know, they a w on average has more Female matches that I think WWE does their stories aren't the greatest But there's still a lot more female performers that are shown more consistently than I think uh, than in wwe and Like you said you have these other talents that didn't that probably wouldn't get a like a look at in WWE now getting notoriety in a w And so it's it took about six seven years But they finally got to that place where like okay vices We're finally being we're finally able to Like kind of keep our promises now They actually have an identity too. Yes, they do they have their brand has a story

39:16And it's I can sum up in one word and it's just it's different Different it's different. What we're used to and they don't need to compete. They just need to be different And they press and they if you I don't know if you're ever gonna watch but I can send you a link to where I saw the whole stream And it's all in one video by the way Oh, yeah One video But they press the the presentation of the product is different too good and that's the best part about it That's part I thought it's like this this is like if you love wrestling as a sport This is the show for you. It just is yeah, it is and I think that's good. That's good for them because wwe is not Yeah, it's part of it. That's not what it is And I think the biggest jump for a w in the past year or so is that they figured out how to tell a story Yes And that shows in that main event with all those stars and yeah Like it's it's like if you even if you don't know who those people are You know, but you never significant. Yeah, you get their significance and you can see

40:19How much it means to the person you like on screens you can connect with that. Yeah That's the that's the magic story telling Mm-hmm. Yeah, they got they got they figured out the stories And wdb does that really well too When they want to yeah, when I want to When they want to they'll they'll wdb put wool makes unless you know You're like Charlotte and Rio from like WrestleMania 39. No story whatsoever. It's put on a good match They put on a main event match Yeah without a story without a song. Yeah, which what are you used to do like hey look how good our wrestling is Yeah, yes, but Why do I why should I watch and now they're now they're You don't want to get how self-parked you see that the my poppin trace don't think they're keys storytelling It's not this and it's not this and it's either but or therefore So this happens therefore that happens then this happens, but then that happens It's the proper way to do storytelling. Yeah, because when you do improv it's always yes, and yes, and yes Exactly, so it's like I butchered the words, but that's kind of like that's their story like how you tell that story

41:24It means that you're finally listening to that but therefore Yeah, and then providing the next that next step Mm-hmm. Yeah, so I'm very happy. I'm interested to see you how they how they capitalize off of all of this momentum Yeah, the biggest show of the year was a generally their biggest show of the year the setup look great everything looked great I'm very happy for them. We'll see what happens from here also in between that we had NXT heatwave which was really good But something really interesting there is a bunch of title matches and almost every title changed hands Except for one and that was when Zarya ended up winning The champion I don't know why Grayson Waller won because I was right. Yes Grayson Waller won in the most Grayson Waller way possible a heel stealing the victory Ah, no, it was from Santana. Ah, that's fair Or cruise Montana. Okay, that's that's the right call. Yeah, Zilla ended up

42:27Was good, but she got taken out by Grayson Waller actually because remember when Grayson Waller used to do the between the legs elbow drop Yeah, he did that on Zilla from a turnbuckle to be announced table. Oh shit Yeah You also had Kalani ended up winning the beating Kendall Gray For the women's world championship Which I thought was also probably the most surprising victory of them all Jaina won the submission match You had the vanity projects sweeping Winning the tag titles and the North American title And Miles Bourne turning on TAB and Heights a little bit as well and that was pretty much it. It was good. It was a good show Grayson Waller winning. I think is the right move. He's the vets of the NXT Division just by longevity and being there previously and he's kind of that dick that everybody has to like try to shut up now You know, he's that guy that he's gonna talk his shit now because he's hit that level

43:30Not new level. He's hit that level. We're like I can say whatever I want Because I'm and he's gonna I think it's gonna do things to get under all of our skin And things very Kalani beating Kendall Gray. I thought was surprised because we know because I know and they've been pretty pretty well She's getting married next month It's like is this a transition or like what are we doing? She's marrying mellum right? She's marrying mellum. Yeah good for them Yeah, no, I'm very happy for them. It's gonna be a great couple. I know. I know you didn't watch um unreal I did not watch unreal now they they Trick and last legend have the most adorable like couple story Really? Yeah, like they're just like it was just like how they met and I did his thing up like some elephants and I don't know it was just I don't it was just a very heartwarming story those two are a great couple They see Have you ever seen because last year's to have a cooking show on YouTube? Mm-hmm And her and trick would be on the cooking show. Yeah I can't wait till I have like that's gonna be like the greatest athlete ever

44:34Like we're unborn child clearly So do them and Bianca and Tess is a kid are gonna be the greatest tag team ever speaking of Bianca. Have you heard the update from her? No, apparently she is suffering from symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome Well, that doesn't that's not surprising. Yeah, and losing feeling in her hands That's also not good. Yeah, so it's it's not looking great for Bianca. Yeah, she's probably not coming back Which is at such a Someone someone so talented so strong so athletic It's taken out by a finger Yeah, and she was the she is the Essentially the quintessential perfect female Romano a WWE needed Yeah, right place right time. Yeah, right star too. I don't want to know. Yeah, that's something I'm taking some away from her Not she no she she earned every single spot she was put in absolutely You know, and like I mean we talked about it when the I was at the 24 came out about her story

45:37Stories like her her rise the fame and everything she went through Amazing story. Yeah You know from from the you know all the stuff and when she was in college and her parents always being there for her Well, it's a great it's a great story um, and I mean I hope some I hope a miracle happens And she's a little return to the ring Because I don't even know how you would that's nerve damage probably yeah, I'm assuming it's gotta be yeah nerve damage is usually permanent, but also Carpet tunnel is like her. It's like the To four or two. Yeah, all the rest the wrist is like I guess smaller squeezing. Yeah Yeah, it's it's not fun for for Bianca Walla did pull an even page from a year or two ago. That's true Say kind of the same tactic with that, but no, he was good They all I probably saw them this could they automatically put it up the next day on YouTube. Yeah, of course uh as uh as a as a thing um, but no he was good grace walla being the big one a lot of new champion

46:43So it's kind of a change into the guard a little bit So we'll definitely see what happens with uh with NXT who's doing a show in just a couple of moments as we are recording right here on the Tuesday But moving on from this weekend to Monday night raw and low and behold like we all predicted Roman versus Penta for raw and max for raw in Mexico Before we get to L.O.L. Roman wins in Mexico. It's gonna be perfectly fine Pentin Ray Phoenix Tor the house down They did a good they did a good job of explaining who these two are to each other I love the promo pack is of them talking to each other. Yeah You know, yeah, they they got a lot of footage from triple A Which is one of the best things about the acquisition they can use that footage now they can use it yep Uh as I was talking to Charles earlier today because he was like That was the most violent friendly I've ever seen

47:51He's like I've never seen two people try to kill each other and suffer that's relatively just a friendly Dude you know those two had They've been planning that match forever for decades They've wrestled that match so many times in their sleep And while they're like awake just so many times in the backyard that they still probably improvise a little bit I knew it's gonna be something when they started the match just slapping each other on the test Yep What he got because what Penta's the older one Penta's the older one yet Penta's the other one day they played great I still don't know the physics behind I've been trying to figure it out all day Penta win for a super Mexican destroyer And Ray Phoenix flipped out of it and I don't know how you do that from a physics perspective Because Penta has all the momentum And Ray Phoenix had a pretty much reversible momentum and do his own flip out of it

48:52Ever since I've seen John Cena do that that got sit power bomb thing where he like swings back and then flips the guy around The wheelbarrow Well that's basically this I'm just doesn't make sense to me like how well that's a code red. It's really it's a really It's really um slow code red essentially just really funny watching John Cena do it Because you know what it because that's rock stands. That's uh that's pop rocks pop rocks. Yeah, it's a crazy move Yeah Now when Ray Phoenix did that I was like how it was so good I think like I think Penta even had like a super yaks you's like how don't you do that Don't look okay. What? I do like I did love the ending Where Ray Phoenix pulled the like just kill me yep Yeah Yeah, it's a hot gotcha Evan and then he Evan Penta kicked out of it and then hit him with the wood one of the highest the highest Mexican destroys I've ever seen like they got air

49:55How's like god and then obviously the ending where he's hugging his brother's like don't tell them don't tell mom don't tell mom It's what I'm looking at It's okay you tripped And I tripped trying to pick you up Yeah, I and like obviously we are gonna get Rowan versus Penta which is exactly what it should be in Mexico City Yeah, that's the point. Yeah, that that that match is gonna be better It's yeah, and it's gonna be coming all because it's this it's gonna come off the weekend of triple mania Yeah, as well. Yeah, it's gonna be Give him a half hour. That's all I want give him a half hour. Let him go nuts. Yep. Give him some more for breaks to fuck the Y care let him go Yeah, yeah, I've you know Roman This would be different because Roman really doesn't work with smaller people outside like Ray From times I'm sorry. I think this will be a good test of like Can Roman Not necessarily hell, but can he do some for somebody who he should be very superior to yeah

50:56How's that how much because Roman has no break Roman has no problem selling It's especially for the right person And I think Penta's the right person in the right place. Yeah, or this because you know why it WWE thinks of this game as risk Where they are just building a military in Mexico To expand their empire They just like this is how we corner the market and Roman gets that Roman a forced and foremost why This business why he is the top guy It's because he understands business. Yep, and Roman's gonna sell his ass off making this guy look good It's gonna be one of those how the fuck did I beat you kind of wins? Yeah, even a Roman's like I know I won, but like that was Those are the fuck Mm-hmm. So I'm excited. It's a it's a good clash of styles. It's it's styles make fights for how Faith they have in Penta. It's a great spot for him to be in you know, this is almost better than winning a world title

51:58Yeah, he doesn't make us say like Roman's gonna be Romans technically a heli I know he's kind of swinging right now the timing of the city. Yeah, they're going to boo the mess out of him I think in Mexico city I don't know I don't know I think you're gonna cheer both of them That's the Roman let's go Penta like yeah, but I don't know it like unless Like if Roman had just Beep Penta up right here. Yeah, they would have booed him if they go in not touching not have any contact No, they're gonna cheer both of them. Yeah Yeah, so we'll definitely see there. I'm very excited. It's a rather than not gonna miss for a Florida concert. Trust me Oh, I will I will be seated for him I also think triple maintenance going to be really really good after watching all of the calore It's gonna be a fun show oh mosses. Oh, I will I will break this work as I know you don't actually watch triple A And I barely watch on the street. We as I probably should Rey Mysterio's facing oh moss that triple mania Yes

52:59Then that's and rage assigns somebody. It's called like carniser by the way high man So I don't I didn't forget you by the way I saw by comment about you and your brother fighting and you guys bleeding every time Rage assigns someone to call like carniser he's pretty much like He looks like he's part of a cane family of indie wrestling He's a mix of lepre face and cane. I don't like that It's great It's it's really really great. But yes Ray Phoenix and pent up probably put on the best matchup TV from WWE this year And it's gonna be better TV from here and out Hopefully hopefully speaking of really good TV. Hey, guess what we're getting the build up to the WrestleMania match that we should have gotten during WrestleMania Yeah Sunday nights made event which I'm like this close to watching Do you want to hear a story it's not gonna be mad that I tell him this but uh so Sir Charles because his birthday last week and by the way happy birthday Sir Charles

54:00Um and he he was like well I got money, you know and stuff and I he was like I want to ebri go to dragoncon Which is like Atlanta's comic con He's like dragoncon or Or maybe I'll do Sunday nights ring events And like and like when they announced oh my not almost my woman not overfemme in brown break I was like I think you should go I think you should go to You know and I was like Randy and Curtis. I think you should go and then the and they just announced quables Gonna release a new single at that at Sunday nights ring event and I was like I think you should go And he's like well, you know, I'm not going to bow. I was like why he's like I spent the money on a vacuum I go what? It's like sometimes you got to make the business decision. I was like All right Vacuum what's been expensive vacuum? I think it was a Dyson. Oh nice. That's nice Yeah, in that case That's a big boy that's that's I bought a house vacuum

55:03Oh, it's a good call oh my versus Ray sounds like those old WCW big little matches my favorite was recent versus who did Do you remember Reese no Reese's part of Ravens block oh Jesus I never made it that far. Oh, you never got to Ravens block. I got close Interesting, okay, we're in WCW, but the flock had not informed. Oh, you have not gone to the flock yet Yeah, okay, the flock is a big part of a Goldbergs run. Wow. Yeah. I don't know dude. I don't like WCW. I'm like I just I'm like I'm this always waiting for it to get like really good. Oh, you haven't had 98 then Yeah, I'm I'm in 97 like I miss like well so because there's no way for you to watch WCW pay-per-views That's true. So I'm only watching raw right now. I'm watching raw pay-per-views So I'm about to get the rest of any of 14 and Raw in 1990s. I'm saying it once Bret Hart leaves Rob becomes the best show ever Ha ha ha ha ha. It's amazing. By the way, according to Fred's Reese was the Yatay. Oh

56:08See WCW never yes so WCW was speaking of this So there's no stipulation out of Randy and Cody put hands on each other They bay forfeit their chance at some of the nice main event to actually fight each other So guess it took great advantage of that Randy and Oh nine Randy came out essentially Cody was like You've got in chances when you should have been fired because of your legacy You know he goes I've had to He goes I've had to like carry you from city the city blah blah blah blah blah all of this stuff So then Randy comes out and he's like well I remember you volunteering to be my babysitter like the little bitch you are And carry me from city to the city is like are you having a little bit of remorse? Uh, and he goes deep he goes hey remember my dog use a have Pharaoh He was a cool dog just a bring him around what happened to Pharaoh did he die? Did you have to bury him did you have to tell your your daughters about you know That you have the dog has a dog yeah

57:10And he's like and he's like what about your like what do you say what about your trailer trash mob Oh Jesus And then he brought him he brought him up Randy called like brandy like a lowlife whatever wife or something like chat wife Not tradwife I've been a trash wife. It was even trash is he even Trash or like ratchet wife or something like that And at that point I was like please Brandy come out and say who who told you was open mic night It's like this would have been perfect. Oh my god She would have been the perfect moment. I'm waiting for about for that reprived Because then Randy could archael brandy And then Brad that'd be great It is Brandy used to be a wrestler. Yeah, she can take a bomb she can take it And it's it's not like Randy has an archael to women before he archaeled Bethanis he archaeled Stephanie Like it's a good little ramp up with the robbery like a vague hand touch I'll touch somebody close to that. Mm-hmm, you know that'd be great You know all we got to say was like yeah, I might have been a pan the ass when my wrestling was too good to let go of Cody

58:15You were expendable Well, obviously As I say Jesus you will not let this go man. So I said near Mania Puck Farrow So um But no Randy brought up dusty because of course um and then Cody slapped back. I was like well at least my father was Was like a legend not a screw up like your father Oh Cowboy Bob cowboy Bob is a hall of favor is he? What is someone's friends what do you do cowboy Bob go in let me know because I don't remember cowboy Bob getting it's probably like the 90s Or something like that Yeah, the cowboy got in a while ago Yeah, it will he also was part of the first main event of Mania history so Oh four oh five there you go friends. Thank you around that. That was that was quick good job friends He's got a good lip Yeah, tell it to the woman who got the seed by a freaking yeah That's that's a story for a free show

59:18So they calling it the wide deceiver The wide deceiver That's a wrestling gimmick that's a that's a finisher name Yeah, that's also a show title. I didn't already make the show title Yeah, the wide deceiver would have been good one But be doesn't it this is ramping up. We're gonna see what happens in Atlanta Cody's hometown is gonna be very very interesting Uh to see what they do with this because they're trying to make the Sunday nights of main event like a thing Because it's not because it's not a PLE but it's kind of a PLE yeah Not really I don't care to get a free trial of peacock or buy peacock for this You know what the problem is with this too. It's Labor Day weekend Also true You know maybe I find a stream of it on my mind I'm gonna do something when I know I don't have to do something the next day Probably not You know, I'm probably gonna I might be on a boat Labor Day weekend. I don't freaking know

1:00:19You know, I'll let you know the next on the next episode we do Uh, but moving on as we had mentioned before Shake up five two should never have a high my hot mic ever God, you know, you know what he's like he knows this show is pre-recorded If there's a time to do it. It's gonna do it now do it when you can edit it That's true and it gives the crowd, you know, a little a good little pop too. Yeah, it's like guys It's not live you don't you have four days to kept the edit this Like I'll take the fine, but relax Yeah, I they edited the mess out of that opening segment Yeah, it is the rest of it did not like the rest of it The what do you mean the big I'll be out yet the editing was kind of too much for me But the segment itself I was like hmm I was like I know a bunch of white guys in the raddish room didn't come up with the direction of the segment. This is too Real

1:01:20Like the car like rolling up behind when they park in literally dragging J. O's so out of the car I was like oh, I don't know about this. Oh, that shit was incredible Yeah, I love I loved everything about the beat down except the edits It's like yeah, the edit is where a little bit much or don't do the violence. Yeah, no I love the violence. I was like this is really creative for dubbing we'd go vis-route with the violence You know because I was like this is very authentic to what like you know especially it's a very like Kind of 90s LA gang wars type thing. Yeah, Kevin that for me is very happy extremely happy I Urban yeah, he said it's a bond right? Yeah, it's more urban. Yeah, be a little bit more urban with his fighting like I got What he said was like you sent it the wrong way Kevin, but I got it. Oh, what do you mean get a little more urban? Yeah, and no, I love that like the rolling up so that it can't get out like the thing that got me is again was the like

1:02:24Forcibly pulling J. O's so out of the car I was like oh, but and then and then also OTM not getting in the car But getting on the side of a car to drive away as quick as possible I was like wow they must have really let them just go nuts with this like I were gonna be down-safe Can we tell you how we're gonna do it That's what it that's what it looked like to me Because like nobody came up with this on their own Yeah, that was pretty great It's one of the better beat down seas we've seen Explicit the fact that when Roxanne got like I'm not on her head Yeah, no that was that was an accident though. That was a happy accident. I'll bet this was a very very good you down Mm-hmm I love it. I love a new direct snow Royce keys thing like he's had enough You know he's a better you know why it's because of how he wears the the life-beaters It's like it's close. It's so close and it's so thin. It's just like but you're so huge Mm-hmm. It's just like wow. What a piece of shit

1:03:29You know and I love a little context they're very scary. Yeah, they're very scary Because they're all the same height like they're all as big as Royce keys like They're everyone's worst nightmare Yeah, the racism come alive Ricky That would have been a great show Todd. Oh, we were like Um, I do love a little thing where Jacob's talking to Roman and he's like I haven't seen Royce this bad sense. We were kids Whatever and Roman's like this is a you problem. Yeah Roman's like I got a loud mouth over here That's all you Yeah, he's like I gave you Jimmy and Jay so they would shut the fuck up and get away from me now Take care of that Yeah, no, it's it's pretty chaotic with this is war games. I'm telling you right now all of us is men's war games It has to be men's war games really had a couple more people business war games. Yeah, probably

1:04:31Yeah, or a bloodline rules match or whatever the hell we're gonna come up with So but I like it miss it and you know what it was it broke the WWE formula of a show it did Because it like they did their open and it's like oh my god. What's going on right now? Which is what they used to do especially the attitude there. Yeah You know, but they got four-year-lake what someone coming out woke up in our heads the opening promo. Here's the main event match But you know this finally broke the moment like oh, we're gonna go straight into the chaos. Yeah do something interesting Yeah, very very time to do something different exactly and I think they're finally getting also feel like they're feeling a little bit of heat Because AW is getting a lot of good press and wb is not Speaking real river back real quick AW did not sell out wembley. They did like 40,000 plus That's still a good number. It's a very great number. They were able to get the people in the upper deck It's fine, but they didn't black out the upper deck so you can see it That's also fine. I don't care. Yeah, no, but they did

1:05:33Where I can respect you for wearing it Yeah, no, but like once but like what cuz the once the once the sun went down it didn't matter Exactly Yeah, once the sun went down it didn't matter Uh, how loud were they did they sound like 50,000 mm-hmm. There you go that audio was great You want to mean the bigger the bigger the first big pop was when the new day came out of a new level came out Yeah, yeah, like if you're up if you're in that company upset with 40,000 I want to know what you think success looks like Yeah, that's how it would be great, but you know, it's what your third year there I think four year fourth year there's maybe that's why they haven't announced it for next year yet ones didn't sell out Mm-hmm in two to four years in a row. It's time to move time to go some well now last year was Texas Lash was Texas, okay, yeah cuz they brought forbidden door to wembley right And then they moved all into Dallas, which was that was also a really fun show um So residencies don't work in wrestling for beach for big shows like that actually for any show

1:06:35It worked for summer Simon New York for like one four or five years In Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a small like that's it's a kid's in arena. It's a small arena. Yeah small or arena But yeah, no they they they did well they did well attendance wise and wembley Buy in large um, but I'm interested to see where they go From that let's move along to our final topic up the night. Uh Sammy ruins everything the WWE title portion up smackdown is crowded Absolutely crowded you have kale Yep, you have fin who they're finally moving things on when you have Gunter And you have Sammy who just screwed over his best friend Taylor's all this time You know and you got all the champion and punk the champion who Punks gonna punk whenever punk feels like he wants the punk. Yeah What is that way? So what happened this time is that they were supposed to have a triple threats

1:07:39Uh, KO Finn Balor Gunter the chairman of the number one contender for some reason Sammy wasn't at it whatever whatever So that's the story of the show Gunter shows up mid um mid show to talk to um to talk to Nick all this is like just want to make this clear It's a triple threat, right? They go like yes, there's no one at it good good good. We're off to a good start So you have the match matches going well Sammy comes in and interferes obviously it's a no-deq because it's a triple threat match Um, and then punk comes out because punks like fuck you Sammy And it starts all of it chaos Sammy ends up sending till so technically the match never ended It just went on it just went off air. Yes Curtis Axles also still in the role rumble as well Oh, be with as it may Hunger punk are gonna punk punk punk that actually understand that sentence man's

1:08:40Yeah, there's a good show show title too punk are gonna punk punk punk. I would it'll be called it'll be called punk are gonna punk punk are gonna punk punk are gonna punk Yeah, so this is an interest. This is a good problem for them to have You know you have everybody who all of them are former world champions even though Finn only had it for a freaking day It still counts all of them have All of them could have the potential to lead the smackdown You know the smackdown brand Maybe that's a may and so my thinking is for this outside of Money in the back and I was you have crown jewel coming up as well We know Roman's gonna represent wrong the crown jewel thing so the question for me is out of those five Who represents smackdown in the WWE title in the crown jewel match? That's where my head's on I think Sammy would be fun I think Sammy would be the most fun match Uh, especially with their history in the bloodline. Yeah Gunther

1:09:44Would be worth watching Interroman. Yeah punk is punk is probably the answer I mean how they had a hell of a match in mania. Yeah But they're not doing it again. They just because it because it's a story ended. That's why there's nothing left. Yeah punk is too old That was the whole point of the story. Yeah And Finn there's nothing on there for Finn like Roman and Finn fought years ago. Yeah Roman and KO two Roman and KO would be interesting but KO just lost Do the Sammy interference Yes Yeah, you know and Roman's already run over Kevin One too many times and I was like to see Roman versus Sammy that That is a match we need to do properly. Roman versus Sammy in Saudi Yeah, oh Yeah Yeah Where and he won the title in in rea too or Sammy was like somehow a special guest or a

1:10:49That wouldn't make sense but it'd be funny. No wouldn't make sense unless it was KO he was going up against But no, this is a happy problem that this is a happy problem to have Also on smacked on that I also noticed they stopped calling Charles to the interim Mm-hmm, and now she's the women's world champion proper Good good Very very good page and Nikki reignited there uh very feud as well um God fatal influence keeps on impressing They're doing classic heel stuff, but they're just they're so fun. They're just good at it Yeah, they have good chemistry together. They have good chemistry. Yeah, once the ones they lost Jasmine next the chemistry just shot to the roof You know, but uh after that I believe That is the end of our show.

1:17:06Speak it's real quick. So I've already had out of here because I do want to put my ace in because it is human um There's a video out there and I forgot I have to send it. I'll have to put it in like our discord or something Where they it was an indie wrestling show but they put the ring in a swimming pool Oh Like WCW used to do no no no no no like the ring is Yeah, that's a floating it's floating it's floating in a pool And so you're around the pool watching the matches so like when I get thrown out of the ring They've thrown into a pool. Yeah, but like is the pool the pool's floating is like a bouncy castle No, no, it's a ring. What was I gonna platform Yeah, that's floating in the middle of the pool. That's hilarious Yeah, I saw devil. They all say wait, I want to go to this yeah die jack is a part of it Die jack chokes land the guy into into the pool at that show

1:18:08Yeah, that's hilarious and like they have to walk on floaties to get to the ring. I love wrestling I was like this is so dumb, but I want to go so badly Yeah, why not I'm friends. I know you saw what is the name of the company or the the indie promotion I put that on Uh, because if they do it again, I want to go like it wouldn't viral for me on my side of of the social media well um This is also true wrestling is the best one. It's well done stupidity That is a great comment man Yeah, wrestling is the best one's well done stupidity You know who's gonna well done stupidity the new day. Yes So was Chris Jericho Early Jericho. Yeah Yes, yes, I was talking about this a little well with one of my friends

1:19:11Do you one thing that would have made the new level of a new day's entrance better? Is it biggie was with them? Obviously, he's still in the concert with WWE and he's clearly happy being there Yes, but if you would have heard biggie's voice to introduce them People's souls would have left their body Yeah, but biggie would have been in big trouble I know this is a perfect world Like a biggie left WWE with Xavier and co-figure woods and co-figure Or if he's did it because fuck it But like couldn't I mean They could not know so let like just brainstorm here with me like if you just heard his voice There's no guarantee that he's actually in the crowd you just hear the audio even if it was the audio like Do we probably License his voice may I don't know. I don't know. I wonder Because Didn't they change so that you think you know me for edge? That was Beth Felix yeah, but was that because maybe they don't own the you think you owe me that sound

1:20:15That's yeah, I think that was because yeah, yeah, cuz that's not part of the that's not part of the meddlingist song No, cuz that the do you think you know me was the was the one bid from his original original gimmick Yeah, so I think that's why he had to change it because that was a gym Johnson thing. So I had a mad you'd be the same with biggie Maybe maybe that's like me maybe Maybe cuz I know like in the new day teen song. It's a new day. Yes, it is that's biggie Yes, you know, but like we the like oh That's all done. That's all done lines like yeah, don't you care? Oh be sour Yeah I miss I miss that era of the new day because you never knew when it was coming. Yeah Yeah, okay, so this is it was called bzw watermania Fuck yeah Gonna look that up on the post you know um It's also true subtle regular man subtle change to the new level and set up unicorns are logo had dragons
