Oh, it is a special Fridayedition of the Line Change because coming up
on Saturday, WWE Summer Slam,one of the biggest events of the year,
the biggest event of the summer,and it's happening tomorrow. So of
course when a big WWE event ishappening, that means we talk about it
(00:29):
right here on the Line Change,Fox Sports and Gamble presented by Cure Auto
Insurance. And there is a lotgoing on this week in terms of WWE,
and even in the past week there'sa lot even to get into before
we get into everything that's happening duringSummer Slam, So of course had to
get the Roundtable together, the Nightsof the Roundtable of WWE, and that
(00:52):
is Jason Finelli of Chief Stakes andControllers. That is also Von Johnson and
Nick Pacone of a Shooter's Radio,which you can check out and you might
be able to hear another familiar voiceon Struders Radio as well. But guys,
I guess I can't start anywhere,but first with the fact that Vince
McMahon is no longer head of CreativeCEO. He's quote unquote retired. So
(01:19):
Jason, what does that mean foryou, especially as we lead into an
event like Summer Slam, because I'lladmit Monday Night Raw at least pretty darn
good. Yeah, what a differencea week makes, To be honest,
this time last week, I wasnot enthused by Summer Slam. I was
not enthused by WWE at all.Really they I wouldn't have called myself a
(01:42):
lapsed fan yet, but I wasgetting to that point where I'm like,
oh, I'll check in every oncein a while. It's the same old
stuff every single week. I'm notmissing anything. And then four oh five
Friday afternoon, all that changed.It's a slow burn, sure, it's
nothing's gonna be immediate. But thefact that that man is now out of
the seat and a creative team thatI trust from the black and gold days
(02:06):
of NXT, or at least acreative leader I should say, is in
the saddle is wonderful. It's fantastic. I am more excited about this product
now than I have been in avery long time. It also helps that
we're going to be hosting Mania forty, but that's another discussion. Yes,
(02:27):
but yeah, it's I hope I'mnot alone in that. But right now,
yes, the optimism is far higherthan I expected it to be one
day before summers time. Yeah,I'm I'm certainly optimistic as well, because
I think there needed to be somethingnew, or at least a new set
of eyes or a new perspective atthe top. So I think this is
great. It seems like everybody elseis excited for it. But I guess
(02:50):
the question is, Vaughn, howbig of an impact does this really make
for something like SummerSlam. At leastwe are seeing Triple h like on Twitter,
he's the guy in charge now,like when Seth Ronald says, hey,
I don't have a match, sorryguys, and then Tripleage goes I
hear you. So it's I mean, we know he's in charge. It's
now publicly in charge, but doesn'treally make a difference. Let's just say
for an event like SummerSlam that's comingup so soon. I don't think so.
(03:14):
On the short term. I meana lot of their plans have been
locked in for a while. They'restill going to have room and go against
Brock. They're still gonna have prettymuch the entire cart. The only reason
why Riddle and Stuff isn't happening isbecause Riddle was hurt not because they didn't
want it to happen. So Ithink for Summer Slam, you're not going
to see that big of a difference. Maybe coming out of SummerSlam you could
see some you know, tweaks andchanges here and there, But to fully
(03:36):
grasp the impact of Vince McMahon ishe literally had his hands in pretty much
all parts of the product. Thateverything that you saw on screen was okayed
and approved by Vince McMahon. Sopotentially down the road things could be drastically
different because again, a lot ofthat stuff, a lot of WWE's vision
(03:57):
is really just Vince McMahon's vision thathe wants out there. So now that
he's not there, Triple A,as we've seen in the past, has
a slightly different vision and maybe maybemore radically different now that VI's mc man
isn't a round. So what timewill tell with that, But I think
in the short term, at leastup to Summer Slam, I don't think
you're going to see that any majordifferences. Nick, What are some of
(04:19):
the small changes you think we couldsee come Saturday with SummerSlam or do you
also just not not see too manyat all? Right? Now? Uh,
first, and foremost I'm excited ornot I shouldn't say excited. I
hope that we all see Vincentman reallyget what he deserves, what he's alleged
(04:41):
to do, you know, outsideof the whole scope of w IS,
you know, he should be hopefullyheld accountable. And I think over the
past few years we've kind of,you know, we had glimpses here and
there that we thought w W theproduct would change very points throughout the last
ten or so years. When SamPunk was champion, we thought maybe that
(05:04):
would usher in a new type oferror for w W, and they just
went right back to the well theyalways do. Twenty sixteen, they had
the brand extension again that you know, for a few weeks it felt maybe
a little different. You have FinnBalor win the undisputed title or universal title,
I mean, and then Kevin Owensand then Booming went right back to
(05:25):
Goldberg and then it just kind offell right back to it. And this
really needs to be I don't Iagree. I don't think it's going to
change. The product on screen isgoing to change drastically right now. But
we did already see on Monday NightRaw some of the things the way they
opened up with Logan, Paul andm is just sprawling. That is awesome
(05:46):
because we're so used to the formulaiclayout of every WWETV show and that's really
like we're watching wrestling, man,Like We're like, we don't need We're
not watching a movie. And that'swhat they think they are, and it's
they've never been able to do itwell. I mean, they do it
to a degree that they've really alienatedso many hardcore wrestling fans, which is
(06:12):
why aw is a thing, andwhich is why AEW is the best wrestling
product on TV today. So Ido think it'll it'll get better. I
don't know a time frame, andI think SummerSlam we will. SummerSlam has
the potential to be one of thoseshows where it's the build to it has
been like absolutely terrible, you know, and it has the potential to be
(06:36):
like a great show in spite ofthat and in spite of insult Man,
and I'm kind of I do thinkthat we will see a good show,
and I do think that we willsee those seats planted as we go on,
and I think by the end ofthe year we should have a good
grasp of you know, the RoyalRumbles to WrestleMania. How that's going to
(06:58):
be with Triple H the Helm creatively, Yeah, I'm just hoping we see
and I think you were kind ofalluding to it, Nick, I hope
we see production kind of dial itback a bit, because I think WWE
is the most overproduced television on rightnow. It's overproduced in the way of
overscripting things when it really shouldn't be. Camera work being overproduced and how that's
(07:23):
done. Everything is just way WWElikes to do things big and Look,
that's something we do like about WWE. We like some of the big epic
storylines that do happen sometimes and whenthey're able to create these big, amazing
moments, But it just seems likethey try too hard at times, and
I'm hoping they dial it back.And I just like the simplicity sometimes and
(07:46):
I think it right Nick, thataw is the best wrestling show on television,
and it's sometimes just simple. It'sa dude wanting to get a belt.
It's the dude wanting to just ora gal or just somebody wanting to
win a title or win the matchthat's in front one of them. Records
matter winning matters, just bring itdown to the simple foundation of what wrestling
is. And of course WWE canalways go beyond that, because their storytelling
(08:09):
and some of the crazy things thatthey do is kind of their calling card.
But I just wish the overproduction wouldbe dialed back a bit, and
I hope we do get that andthings become a little bit simpler, and
that's what I'm hoping sort of inthe post Vince McMahon era of WWE.
But Jason, as you all chomentioned some news coming after that a few
(08:31):
days later, WWE Summer Slam Wrestlingor not Summer Slam, WrestleMania forty that's
coming to Philadelphia. Jason, wedidn't get your thoughts. Vaughn and Nick
and I all talked about that onWednesday on the line Change, which you
can go back foxpechol Gambler dot com. But Jason, I do want to
get your thoughts on what it meansfor Philadelphia to get WrestleMania forty here in
(08:54):
twenty twenty four. Well, it'sabout dang time, right. There are
discussions that they could have been hadthey could have had WrestleMania as far back
as like thirty three or thirty four, I believe, and the local government
was twiddling its thumbs wondering is itreally a money maker or whatever. And
then it took two nights in Dallasand that financial sheet to come out for
(09:15):
them to be like, huh,we are really turning down a bunch of
money, why are we doing that? I think it was something like two
hundred and maybe I'm sorry, threehundred and twenty million into the local economy
for that week in Dallas or somethinglike that. It's an astronomical number.
So of course it took the moneyto get people off their butts to get
(09:35):
WrestleMania here. But we not togo, you know, cliche wrestling champ,
but we deserve it. Man.There is a rich history of wrestling
in Philadelphia, as evidenced by thefact that no sooner than an hour after
that announcement was made, people werealready speculating, like who the Hall of
Fame class would be, and thelist was a mile long. Paul Hayman
(09:58):
is the favorite to be like thethe main event, the anchor of that
uh ceremony, which yes, Iabsolutely agree, But the Blue Meani's name
was thrown out there. Sabu's namewas out there. Heck, some people
had an east An entire e cW Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Wrestlmania
forty, which would be nuts,not to mention in the territorial days,
(10:20):
I wouldn't be a wrestling fan ifit wasn't for my grandfather, who was
a tremendous fan of Bruno San Martino. So the the Philadelphia has always,
I guess, under the radar insome aspects, been a major wrestling hub
R O H E c W listgoes on. So to be able to
(10:41):
now celebrate that with a week ofmadness, like I may take the entire
week off from work and just Iwill be I've already put my week off
in already already. It's just goingto be an absolute week of pure insanity.
(11:01):
And I can't wait. I justcan't wait. I will say,
I don't know if it was alack of effort from the city, because
from what I was told, theywere trying, and they were in the
process and they had, you know, putting bids, but it just didn't
happen for whatever reason. But Idon't know, because the numbers, like
you said, the money that thesecities make is undeniable. It's not like
that's. Yeah, look hard tofind these numbers. WW puts our press
(11:22):
releases every year about these numbers.Oh yea. So it was usually the
biggest numbers and the most impressive.So cities have been aware for a while,
and these people have known like it'sgoing to be a financial help for
cities. So I don't know ifit was like lack of laziness on their
part or not, but I feellike the people I've talked to you back
in the day, they knew whatit was hitting for pretty much and they
(11:46):
were trying. I don't know exactlyat what point of the process did it
die out. I don't know ifit was a Philly decision or a WW
decision, but somebody and somewhere inthe city knew of the potential financial impact
of WrestleMania come into town. Yeah, they certainly did. And now now
I kind of want to throw thatquestion to you. I'll throw it to
(12:07):
you first, Nick, because thisis a chance now for Philadelphia hasn't been
here in a while, and thisis the first time it's going to be
in a stadium that Philadelphia has toreally showcase. You know what it's like
for WrestleMania, and that they canhold an event like this, because we've
seen met Life's in the rotation andthey've gotten it twice what in just under
a decade New Orleans Obviously, NewOrleans is a great city and it's going
(12:31):
to continue to get it, butit's gotten It's gotten it multiple years.
Dallas has gotten it multiple years.You know, there are cities that continue
to get this, and it seemslike they're in a rotation now, Like,
is there a chance Nick, thatyou know, like those cities,
that Philadelphia can get somewhat in therotation here and maybe get this not twenty
or more years later, but maybesometime less than that. I definitely think
(12:54):
that's on their mind. They,the city of Philadelphia wants to make sure
that everything goes smoothly and make surethat they are destination for future years.
Now, in nineteen ninety nine,all they really had other than WrestleMania was
the WrestleMania Rage Party, and Vaughanand I did a deep dive on that
a couple of years ago. Nowthey have so many other things, so
(13:16):
many not even related to w W. You have like the independent companies coming
in and I think that's going tobe huge. I think that that stuff
is really going to blow up bighere because I think Vaughn mentioned in a
Wednesday how connected this city is.It's it's massive. How many great venues
are well within walking distance of goodeating places and even close enough to where
(13:37):
WWE is going to be. Yeah, and maybe they bring back the Rage
Party. Well we'll see, butwe Wesse you cannot bring that back they
had late nineties where it belongs.It'll be the first time Philadelphia is really
able to host the WrestleMania that's thisbig, you know, like it's completely
different today than it was in nineteenninety nine. And it's really I think
(14:00):
what the vision of visk Man innineteen eighty five was going for because they
were doing arenas before they went tothe Pontiac Silver Dome. They went to
the Skydoom in Toronto, and thenthey had to go back to you know,
smaller arenas and whatever. But thisis the first time Philly can really
show showcase and even two years before, you know, when the World Cup
comes and you have the MLB AllStar Game, they can really showcase themselves
(14:24):
into being a destination for big events. Even past twenty twenty six. So
I can absolutely see Wrestle Media makingPhiladelphia in a rotation with New York.
I mean, yeah, they're inthe same area. I guess we're not
too far from New York. ButPhilly is just so different from New York
(14:46):
too in so many ways, soyou definitely want to exploit that as well,
especially with the rich wrestling background thatthe city has. So I really
think Philly is up to the task. I mean they wouldn't. I don't
think they would. I don't thinkw W would choose Philip Philly if they
didn't have faith that the city uhwill will be a great host. So
(15:09):
I think it could absolutely be oneof the most memorable weeks that not only
wrestle fans have, but just likepeople around Philly, you know, like
that. Yeah, I think Phillyis going even casual fans or maybe people
that aren't really fans at all,I think they're really going to embrace this.
This is gonna be a lot offun. Yeah, just like even
laps wrestle fans are going to goaround and yeah, it's going to be
(15:33):
a damn party for a week.I'm telling you, people are really gonna
love that. I can't wait.And just a quick side note, if
g c W or like Joe doesn'thave an event called like GCW Rage Party
or Joey Jl's Rage Party, they'redoing it wrong. Yeah, break but
rage party, Yeah exactly. Butto big back off of Knick's point about
(15:54):
Wrestlemanian and last time I was here, we talked to Blue Mini on the
Straight Shooters uh liket year about WrestleManiafifteen and we asked him like, what
was it like to be here andwhat was the atmosphere like? And he
was like, it was just likefelt like another show. Like they didn't
have like all the series of eventsat least from even WWF didn't do a
bunch of different things. They didn'tthey didn't have access or if they did
(16:15):
it, it was much smaller thanwhat it is now. And obviously the
independent promotions weren't, you know,proliferating the city like they do these days.
So yeah, we talked about itWednesday's twenty three hundred arena. It
is probably gonna be booked solid thewhole week Center. I would have to
imagine it at some events. Roh. I think it's like a big Canada
for that like we said, becauseTony Kin owns aw Aw. When they
(16:38):
come to town, they run thelead coorse Center, So Ringa Veranda has
a pretty big show that week usuallyup to leading up to WrestleMania called Supercar
I Honor. I got a venuefor that if they really want to do
it that they're familiar with. So, yeah, it's gonna be a blast.
It's gonna be fun, it's gonnabe a party. And that's what
I would hope people do when theycome here. It's not just not just
enjoy the wrestling that the city hasto offer, but everything else the city
(17:00):
has to offer. Yeah, andit's it's hard not to ignore kind of
the past though, and that theyhaven't been able to get these big events.
Now they're getting a lot of them, and that's a great thing to
see. They're getting the MLB AllStar Game in twenty twenty six, they're
getting the World Cup in twenty twentysix. They're also now getting WrestleMania in
twenty twenty four. Von do youthink they're able to you know, once
they showcase this, do you thinkthere's a chance that WWE ends up coming
(17:23):
back sooner rather than later? Youknow, in not twenty five or twenty
whatever years from now. Yeah,I think so, I think. I
don't think, you know, thetwenty five years before they come back,
it'll probably you know, you probablymaybe get one maybe once or twice a
decade, and you know, butit just it also depends on who's building
new stadiums at that point in time, who hasn't had one in a while.
(17:45):
Like I have cities that I thinkcould be contenders in the next two
or three four years, but that'spurely based off of where WW hasn't been,
who's built new stadiums. But they'llalways have cities like LA and New
York. Yeah, no, Andthey'll go back to Dallas and New Orleans
all the time. And they'll hitcities in Florida like Miami, and Miami
(18:06):
hasn't had one in a decade,and they renovated that stadium in the last
ten years and it looks completely different. They've had a Super Bowl, the
Chiefs forty nine Ers game Super Bowlwas there. So to me, that's
high on the list of cities thatthey can go to next because they like
Florida. They haven't been to Miamiin a decade, and that stadium is
essentially a new stadium since the lasttime they were there. Minneapolis is another
(18:26):
one for me. Newark Stadium,Great Stadium, I was there February four,
twenty eighteen, of course for sayingsomething big happened. But and Atlanta
Falcons seven New Stadium or Newark Stadiumwith the circular roof that they have and
then the jumbo tron, like,I feel like WW would like to get
their hands on that. And ofcourse Vegas too, it's Vegas number one
(18:48):
and they have a relatively new stadium. I'm almost surprised that Vegas didn't get
twenty twenty four because I feel likeWW would have been like, yes,
let's get in Vegas, Emily,you know. But time will tell what
happens with that. But those arethe cities that I would say, like,
those are the next ones up inmy opinion at least I could be
totally wrong, obviously, but thoseare the ones that make sense to me.
Yeah, if I could make aquick point here, I think all
(19:08):
of those cities that you just mentionedonly strengthens the faith that they have in
Philadelphia, because it's one thing tosay that we're hosting WrestleMania, which we
are it's another thing to mention thatit's forty, right, yet it's a
huge milestone number. It's not like, not that there's in every WrestleMania is
special, but there's something about thezeros and fives, yep, that really
(19:32):
make it even more enhanced. Soto have a video game journalist than you,
it really is so to have thatforty, especially with the run that
the decades are on twenty or ten, go back to ten, twenty thirty.
If forty lives up to that legacywe're looking at all time, Yeah,
it really could be. It's abig deal. And yeah, that's
right too. It is such alandmark achievement to be at WrestleMania forty and
(19:56):
such a big anniversary to be ableto celebrate as well. So you're tuned
in to the WWE round Table.We are previewing Summer Slam, and of
course we've gone over all of thenews that has happened in the past couple
of weeks, and there's been alot, But now we have to get
down to it. Summer Slam's comingup, and of course I have to
to feel the temperature here and Nick, how are we feeling about Summer Slam?
(20:18):
I know there's there's naturally some juiceto it because Vince McMahon's not,
you know, head of the tableanymore so to speak. But is there
anything interesting of the card or justanything in the build up that you have
been looking forward to and how you'refeeling about SummerSlam. I mentioned the build
hasn't been great, but I thinknot gonna matches like Live Morgan and Ronda
(20:41):
Rowsey could actually surprise us and bepretty good. The ussos and Street profits
with Jeff Jarrett as the referee,I think that has the the I think
we would could all agree we wouldn'tbe surprised if that's the match of the
night. Rains a lessener, that'spretty It's usually always entertaining, regardless of
the stipulation. And Biancabelle Arabecu Lynch, they have a good story going and
(21:06):
you know that should be a goodmatch, So there there will be I
think more good matches on the carthan not. There's only eight listed so
far, and for a SummerSlam,that's kind of low. You remember back
in the late eighties early nineties whenthey had WrestleMania and SummerSlam, they would
load up the car they'd be likethirteen or fourteen matches. They'd be like
five minutes each except for the mainevent. And now you know, they
(21:26):
have more room to breathe. Iknow they you know, air commercials,
they have other like promotional stuff goingon nowadays, but I think these matches
won't be given time to breathe alittle bit, and I'm looking forward to
that. Vun I would say thecard at the top looks decent, like
Roman and the Broncia is hopefully it'sthe last time, but like Nick said,
(21:47):
they've had decent matches in the past. Wrestling they had was That's not
my complaint with that. It's justthat it's happened over and over and over,
and they're capable of doing great havinggreat matches. They haven't had literally
a great match since the first winat Wrestlemanian twenty fifteen. So hopefully we
can get that at SummerSlam, likean actual really great match between these two,
because they're capable. Bianca and Beckyin the tag team match as well.
(22:08):
Like that's a pretty good top three, but there's not much depth.
Seth and Riddle not happening really hurtthis card because now you only only got
three matches that you're really looking forwardto. And no, I'm not including
Live Morgan and Ronda Rowsey not there'sno knock against either one of them.
I'm just not that interested in thingsthat Ronder Rowsey is doing on television right
now. So congrest Live Morgan though, But overall, it's really just,
(22:32):
Hey, it's Summer Slam. They'regonna be in the stadium. Ww's gonna
probably put it on a really goodshow, Like the matches are probably gonna
be really good. That's what genuinelyhappens. You're like, I don't know
going into the show, and thenthe people in the ring do their jobs
and it's like, you know what, man, that was pretty good.
Actually, hopefully moving forward, wecan get the build up as good as
the pay per view from here onout. But I'm here for it's it's
(22:52):
it's Summer Slam. It's it's it'llbe fun on a Saturday night to watch
some good wrestling. Jason, youy'all jazzed up for WW SummerSlam. I'm
actually excited for the show for theunknown. Like as we're talking about the
card is fine, it's not.There are some some decent matches some some
(23:15):
decent like spectacle matches like Logan Paulversus The Maz. I just want to
see if Logan Paul can be asgood in the ring by himself as he
was at WRESTLEMANI in a tag teammatch, and a tag team match,
obviously you have three other guys tocarry you. This is just Logan Paul
in the Miz. So that's likean interesting will this celebrity match streak continue
sort of question that I have LiveMorgan versus Ronda Rowsey. I am biased
(23:37):
because my daughter's name is Live.It's her favorite wrestler, so I want
her to win all of the titles. But I don't think that Seth Rollins
is not going to be a partof this sheets. The Sheets are saying
that Riddle's injury is k fape,that they told the Monday night that the
match was not going on, andthat they he gave them that quote unque
(24:00):
quote stinger as part of storyline,which means if you couple that with Triple
H his I hear you tweet aboutSeth not being in the match, that
could be laying the groundwork for Sethhaving something to do anyway. What that
will be I don't know, butI do think I have this suspicion that
(24:21):
mister Rollins will not be sitting onhis hands for Summer Slam. He'll get
the crowd to sing his song,He'll get himself a match. Will it
be base? I do like thetrend of him going into a pay per
view not knowing who his opponent is. There was a great joke about that,
and if it happens again at SummerSlamcomes Survivor Series, He's going to
be in the Survivor Series match andnot know who his partners are until the
(24:42):
actual match starts. So I dothink that there is a possibility, like
I said, that Seth Rollins couldstill be part of this and if it's
as impactful and exciting as it wasat WrestleMania, we could be talking about
it as one of the best partsof the show. Yeah. I mean
there's pieces here that that are good, you know, and that if they
(25:03):
put it together correctly, that thiscould be a great show. I mean
Logan Paul versus them is. I'mnot a big Logan Paul guy, but
that's obviously when you think of SummerSlam, when you think of these big events,
that's obviously a match on the cardthat you need, and they have
that Bobby Lashley in Theory look theories. I've I've actually been really impressed.
Yeah, he's been kind of thepunching bag lately, but I like the
direction that kind of took that storyon Monday where you know his dad he's
(25:27):
not there, So I think thatthat intrigues me and Bobby Lashley in theory
could put on a really good match, or that could be a squash and
theory comes back later because he hasthe money of the bank. It's it's
all very interesting the USO since Streetpofits with Jeff Jarrett as the special guest
referee. Don't know why Jeff Jarrettneeds to be, but that obviously adds
intrigued to it. Pat mccaffee andHappy Corbin, Bianca bell Air and Becky
(25:52):
Lynch is going to be an amazingmatch. Those two can absolutely go Morgan
Rousey than Rain's Brock like this thisdoes. While the build has been lackluster,
that is that is a card Ilook at and go, yeah,
that's that's at least a Summer Slamcard that looks like a decent Summer Slam
card. That has the potential toput on a great WWE type production.
(26:12):
You know, these crazy moments,big moments that happened that are memorable.
You know, I think this hasthat potential. But of course they've missed
in a lot of these circumstances.So that's always in the back of everyone's
mind, is that, you know, they haven't hit on a lot of
these lately, and it's always eithercringe or amazing, and it's borderline been
(26:33):
cringe most of the time. SoI think this Summer Slam card at least
has the potential. And now it'sjust if this new creative and obviously they're
having to deal with a lot thatyou know, Vince mc mahon set up
and the previous regime did, butstill build something that is somewhat memorable and
we can get those moments. Andagain, whatever seth Rollins does, maybe
he's added into the Romarines Broac ListenerLast Standing Match. I don't know because
(26:57):
of the history there, but I'mjust spitbump, but I think this is
this has the potential to be asomewhat memorable and a good show, So
I am very much looking forward toit. All. Right, before we
get into the card itself and wego over things. I do want to
go over that prediction of what SethRollins could be doing because that's one of
the big things leading up into this. Vaughna'll start with you. It's Seth
(27:18):
Rollins. Look, he's not wrestlingRiddle, but Triple H said he hears
him, and so meaning that SethRollins could be involved in some way.
What do you think that involvement is, Well, I mean, I guess
it could be a Triple H matchof some sort, maybe a Triple H
appearance. Maybe I don't know,honestly, They're probably gonna do some type
(27:40):
of surprise there. I don't knowhow I feel if I with Riddle unless
I was involved into somehow that youhave a match booked and you just get
taken off of k paper reasons andthat's it. So maybe he's involved still
in this whole thing. So I'mI'm keeping an open mind on it.
I'm not gonna set my expectations upfor anything because I know some people are
probably like Triple A, it's gonnacome back, right, But he's had
a heart condition, he's not goingto wrestle. So if it's not that
(28:04):
didn't is it riddle is it?Is it? Edge? Is it?
Who is it? I don't know. I'm keeping an open mind on it,
though, Jason. I have twothoughts here, Uh, that seemed
to be there. The prevailing theories, as far no pun intended. I
was about to say, no,no, no no. Uh. The
(28:25):
first one is an old Triple Hboy coming back. Now the Triple H
is in the saddle, and thatis Johnny Gargano. That seems to be.
That's that seems to be what peoplethink is going to happen, that
he's going to come back. Soit's never going to come back. We
are now going to spound the restof our lives and the rest of our
days trying to figure out where JohnnyGargano is going to go? Where did
where did he say he's He's beendoing all of his work recently, diaper
(28:48):
change, pro wrestling like that.But uh, people seem to think that
because Triple H is in the thedriver's seat now Johnny obviously is very loyal
to him, that that may coercehim to come back to w w E
if he's ready. I don't knowabout that. But then the other one
is because somebody keeps tweeting about,you know, reinventing yourself and going full
circle and all this other stuff thatseth Rollins's going to be out in the
(29:11):
ring, like, hey, Ihave an opponent now that Riddle's hurt,
who wants to come out and thenthe lights are gonna go off and then
they're gonna come back in and misterWyatt is finally going to be sitting in
the ring. Oh, whoa,you're going for the big ones? WHOA?
Why those are the prevailing Internet theories. Internet's track record is not very
good personal bias. I want BrayWyatt because I love that character and I
(29:34):
think he was done dirty and Ithink Triple H would allow him to be
a more creatively free understanding that thatmeans money. But yeah, those are
what the Internet seems to think ishappening, and it's honestly why I'm so
excited about the potential of it.Now. It could come and go where
Rollins doesn't show up on the cardat all, and that would be fine
(29:55):
too, if you're gonna cancel thematch and maybe that I hear you will
something later on whatever, But Ijust feel like there's too much smoke to
not be something big. And itdoes make sense too that Triple H's first
big pay per view as head ofcreative would want to make a huge splash,
a huge fan popping splash, likeI'm here, I understand what you
guys want. That makes sense thathe would that Triple H would want to
(30:18):
make his mark on this, onthis card, on his own, you
know, do something to make hismark and his creative touch. So I
understand that. Nick. Do youthink anything big like that happens or do
you not have your hopes up forsomething like that. I've learned over the
years, even with a change toknock, get my hopes up everything that
was said before. I would lovelove you know, I would love to
(30:42):
see it, you know, bigsurprises stuff like that. I would love
to just like get lost in becominga fan again. It's just like,
oh crap, like this is awesome. I haven't felt that so long.
And it could either be, youknow, the return of Bray Wyatt or
or Johnny Gargano or maybe something likegoing back to the Well with Kevin Owens
(31:07):
is a babyface. Maybe we becausemy original idea was maybe Drew McIntyre,
but he has a big match onSmackDown tonight against Seamus. I don't know
if they would we Drew McIntyre isprobably gonna, you know, get that
title match a clash of the Castle, so I I don't want it to
be someone like you know, AJStyles, like AJ is great, but
(31:30):
like AJ Styles versus Seth Rollins doesn'tdo anything for me, even on summerslams.
So I think a great you know, if Triple H comes out and
be like, here's your opponent,Kevin Owens, people cheer for him.
No one wants to move Kevin Owens, So just reset him, make him
a babyface, and just have himgo from there in this Triple H driven
creative WW product. And I thinkwe'll see a lot better from Kevin Owens,
(31:53):
which, by the way, Imean we haven't really seen bad things.
Even the bad things he's given creatively, he's made great. So uh,
why not give him a big winover Seth Rollins at SummerSlam when Seth
Rollins doesn't even know that he's goingto face them. That would be fantastic
for both of them, I think, both for Kevin, both for Seth,
and they might go from there.They might even have another a trilogy
(32:14):
like Seth Habilcote. I mean thatwould be great, So maybe you plant
that seat tonight. Yeah, Iimagine we got to get a reset for
some of these characters with Triple Hand creative. All right, we do
have to take a break though,So you're tuned into the WWE Roundtable.
We are previewing Summer Slam. Sothat was to get you everything ready for
the fact that we are making predictionsthat's coming up next year. On the
line, Change Fox Sports and Gamblerpresented by Your Auto Insurance w d A
(32:37):
S and W two seven three doO Philadelphia, The Gambler in Art Radio
Station presented by Cure Auto Insurance.Welcome back to the line, Change Fox
(32:58):
Sports and Gambler presented by Auto Insurance. We are the WWE Roundtable. Here
Jason Bonelli, host of Cheese takesthe controls, which you can check out
on the iHeartRadio app and here FoxSports the Gambler every Saturday at three o'clock.
And also joining us is the duoof Shooters Radio of On Johnson and
Nick Pecone. You can follow themat Shooters Radio on Twitter so you can
(33:22):
check out all the links and theydo deep dives and they are going to
talk about Summer Slam as well,and maybe maybe I'll be audit. We'll
see, we'll see surprise guest appearance. We'll say about that. But let's
go with the Summer Slam card.We talked about everything leading up the Summer
Slam. Now we have to getto the show. So first match that
I want to go over the mysteriosand Judgment Day, and really the big
(33:43):
thing is here. We've been gettingthese kind of vignettes of a return.
Somebody's coming, somebody's going to behere, and it's likely going to be
Edge. Do you think Edge doesreturn and messes with the Judgment Day because
this is now conveniently a no DQmatch, Jason, honestly, I think
that to try and gain an advantage, Juguit Day is going to attack Dominic
(34:07):
Material backstage, rendering him unable tocompete, and Ray's going to be like,
who is my partner going to be? And then they're going to bring
out Edge to be his partner,and you're going to have that that that
return team from early days of SmackDown. I would now six days would dude,
I lose it. That's that's actuallya great idea. I do think
(34:29):
that's what they're going to do,uh, to make to make this a
more fun Messa colibrating raised twenty yearsin w W E awesome. And also,
and more importantly, because dom sucks. Oh wow, I'm sorry,
take it easy, it sucks.How wait a secon? Just something?
(34:51):
He needs time to cook an NXNXT. I'm sorry, yeah, just
he needs he needs he's too green. I don't know if it's his mike
right now, right now now,he sucks. I just every time he's
on my TV. I want himto go away. No, I know
that way about Domaster. I've watchedhim during the pandemic and he was fine.
(35:12):
I agree, But now I don'tthink he's done anything since then.
I think it's the same dominic mysterio. There's been no there's been no evolution.
There's been he'll get there with time, and he needs to get away
from his dad to do that,and that will happen in time. But
he's he can't wait for that moment. He's going to mature and and he's
looked two three years from now,you might not even think about this guy
(35:35):
the same way like I hope he'llbe is going to be main eventing Wrestlmania
Ford. I hope I'm wrong.I hope I'm wrong. I hope you
guys are right. But to quoteanother wrestler who was cut too early and
may come back as a triple hguy, TikTok Dominic Macsterio tick talk,
I am losing you. We gotwe got short, like uh short expectation
(35:58):
times like looking for it back inthe NFL. I've been enjoying that mysteria
because I guess like he's been throwninto such like not only the fire,
he was thrown into a wild firebecause it was like brock lesnar matches,
like early on, it's like,how is this kid gonna be able to
do that? And I really enjoyedhim. I think I think he has
the potential there And honestly, yeah, like obviously we would like to see
(36:19):
him cooking n XT, but tosee somebody grow and come into their own
on the main roster, I thinkthat has its own kind of advantages as
well. So yeah, I don'tknow. Man, Jason coming in strong
with the Takes summer sounds like he'sa number one overall pick and he needs
to win right now. A second, he's a developmental project's Jalen Hurts.
You know you can make Let's hopefullyhopefully he's not Jordan. I don't.
(36:43):
I'm saying he's the backup who youhope he's Trey Lance. That's a good
one. Lance. Well, itmakes if it makes you feel any better.
I got so animated during that thatI spilled my warl over my Yeah,
Jason Karma, Nick, do youthink Domasterio sucks? No, mysterious
(37:05):
judgment. I feel like it's beenlike a bit on Twitter or something like,
because every like a lot of thewrestling fans I follow aren't a fan
of him. But I don't knowif it's just you know, a bit
or not. I don't think he'sterrible, but I don't think he he
can. I don't think he needsa prominent spot right now, even though
he's with Ray Mysterio. So.I think it's fine if he's just middling
(37:27):
in the card right now, orand then he could go down XT and
fine tune things after this little runwith Ray. I don't think he needs
to stay on the main roster justto just because his last name is mysterio.
So and I think he realized.I think they realized that I think
Ray realizes that, and I wouldhope that, you know, they don't.
(37:47):
I don't want Ray to just think, oh, let's not working here,
so go somewhere else. I mean, like that's like Boon said,
it's it's a short timeframe, andyou're coming out of the pandemic where a
year out of fans finally returning tothe arena. And let's not forget this
man was running Creative for that entireyears. That's fair. Okay, we'll
see how Dominic Mysterio does in thisquote unquote new era of w W and
(38:14):
now you know, perhaps turn theprize. I can't wait for that.
That's going he will thought that wouldhappen, and then that would signify I
just returned to team. Right,makes you think Ray could turn on Dom,
Like, wouldn't that be in?Nobody's going to Ray. You can
never turn you gotta turn down Domis the idiot, goofy Son who's arroganting,
(38:37):
thinks he's too hot for his bitches, and he challenges his dad,
legendary dad career. Ight, that'swhat's going to maybe like, Son,
you know you haven't got maybe dothe story like you haven't gotten good enough?
You aren't taking my TV like doall that and like you're you're a
disgrace and all that. Then everyonewill be like, yeah, Ray,
(38:59):
he has to influence day. JudgeDay has to influence dom. Okay,
it could be judgment I think.And I think they sort of planted the
seed for that on Monday, becauseyes, they did twenty years of Ray
and he was wearing purple, whichmost people would think, oh, Halloween
Havoc nineteen ninety seven, it's anice throwback twenty years whatever, But what
color is the prominent color of theJudgment Day purple? So I think it
(39:22):
might have been a double a doubletease. All right, Von, who
are going with? You? Alreadyspent way too much time in the first
match. I'm gonna go along thissegments of Von mysterious Judgment Day. I'm
gonna go Judgment Day. Nice.Oh judgment Well whoa I said nice,
as if that was like, oh, yeah, that's the answer everybody just
gave. You're going Judgment Day.They need to win, Okay, I
(39:44):
think so, wait, do youthink Edge does return then or no?
Here, oh maybe after they win, so they win, okay, Okay,
yeah, I think everybody assumed assumedno DQ, that Edge was going
to retur turn in that way andand interfere with the match, right,
But I think that was kind ofwhere I was going. But with the
(40:06):
dugment Day needing a win, Ithink Roland's right, and I think,
yeah, uh, we've already seenreports that there'll be less fifty to fifty
booking. You know, all thesereports come out now, Okay, But
and I know, I'm glad I'mthe first match. Glad it's to no
DQ, no more dqs. Stopwith the dqs. I'm tone, I'm
done with the DQ's, especially ifit's going to be on a show like
this. Stop that s. That'sb S all right, So we got
(40:30):
to move on from that cheese LoganPaul and the Miz. Obviously, this
this has a this is the celebritymatch. Even though Logan Paul's has signed
some up with WWE and he's goingto do matches, and he's pretty good,
even though I don't like him,he's good in the ring, and
I'm sure this is going to befun. I think this could end up
being a fun match. But whodo you ended up think wins in this
(40:50):
one? Nick Pacone will start withyou I'll go with the Miz. Just
because Logan Paul is now at wW Wrestler, they can tell them they
can extend this one. So Idon't think that necessarily means Local Paul wins.
But I'll just go to mizz VN. I'll agree, Miss Jason.
I will make it a trio.Yes, I we're gonna go with the
(41:13):
sweep of the Miss. I don'tthink our first sweep would be Miss.
I didn't know, but it makessense that Logan Paul coming in thinking you
know, he's an outsider. Theycan finally tell a story of an outside
celebrity who has some talent, thinkingthat they're just gonna come in and run
stuff like celebrities have before, andthe Mis puts him quote unquote in his
place, right, so you cantell that longer story. Well, yeah,
(41:35):
even though you're coming from outside ofthe WWE, you may have shown
some flashes, but you got toearn your spot pal and you're gonna do
that, you know, one stepat a time, or the champion gets
involved and wins it for the Miza little more simply. Either way,
I do think the Mis wins,all right. I didn't think that'd be
the first one to be the sweep. I thought this one would be Bobby
Lashly theory. Since Austin Darry haswon money in the bank, he is
(41:59):
not on a single match. Doeshe win one? Here, Vaughan,
we will start with you with BobbyLashley in theory big match. Bob comes
to again, right, Bobby Lashley, This one's easy, Jason. Spoiler
for later in a discussion, theorygoes, oh and two tonight. Oh
okay, well now we know whatthat is. Good lord, Yeah,
(42:21):
Jason's coming in firing. All right, match what stop it? Stop it?
Uh? I don't even want toask you now, Bobby Lashley your
theory, Nick, but go ahead, Okay, see I thought that was
gonna be the sweet now this match. Look these two. I understand in
the wrestling world, the Briscoes andFTR are getting all the accolades of like
(42:45):
the best matches and the best tagteam matches, and it's the greatest.
But man, we are being spoiledby the USOS and street profits. And
I don't think we're talking about itenough. Jason. Since since it seems
like you agree, let's start upwith you usso's Street profits. I think
profits finally get it done here.It's gonna be an awesome moment. I
don't I think what retain. Unfortunately, I think it's where montes Ford finally
(43:07):
loses it. No, no,no, no, we can't have so
many turns. And I think Ilove them as a team. I montes
Ford just seems so special. He'sgot the mic skills. He does been
awesome too lately. I think Dawksreally stepped up knowing that, hey people,
(43:28):
people are calling me the Marty Jeannetti. No no, no, no,
no, no, I am nothe that right there, Actually,
let me let me switch my thoughthere, that right there could be the
if Tedz takes the pin, Dawkinscan be like I thought I was,
the Jeannetti and he instigates the turnbecause I also think Tess would be a
better babyface. Right, So soI do think that now that you said
(43:50):
that, I think it makes moresense for Dawkins to initiate the turn.
But then I worry that, justlike you know, heavy Machinery, one
of them goes on to stay inthe company whether whatever he does, you
know he's still there, and thenDawkins just becomes Tucker, which is like
worse than Jeannetti, right, SoI don't know. I am, he's
Jason what I like Tucker, Butit's the truth and life on wrestling worse
(44:14):
than Jeannette. In life he's doingbetter than Jeanetti. But ireling, okay,
yes, of course wrestling, no, Tucker, Oh my god,
to be worse than Jeanetti in life, you have to be dead. Uh.
But good lord, Yeah, Ithink I do. I do think
that the USA is retained. Whichwas the question that the fact that the
(44:37):
fact that now I'm gonna start withJason every single one because the fact that
you guys had to follow whatever hesays is tough to do. So I'm
gonna give you. Yeah, I'mgonna give you this very tough test.
I think profits street profits should win. They I think they can use a
run and you can maybe change itup a little bit with the bloodline and
not have to use those half thetitles and Roman is mad at him and
(44:58):
then try to get him back.But I will say, if that's my
pick, I'm gonna pick the streetprofits because that's what I think should happen.
But if they lose and it isn'tsplit uh, in the past,
I would be worried about what wouldhappen to somebody like Angelo Dakins When montes
Ford is stars so bright, youknow he's gonna be money, and the
Angel got like Angel Dowkins gets justlike discarded for some reason. It feels
(45:20):
like it's altay happening, but he'sfighting through it though. I love it,
But I will say under a newregime, maybe that won't happen as
much. So and Angel Dowkins issuper talented. So I'm going Street Profits
though, Nick, if you wantto take advantage of montese Ford right now,
(45:40):
you have the USO's win, yousplit up the Street Profits and montese
Ford, you start building him nowfor high profile one on one match in
WrestleMania. Then I think, Ithink that would be fine. I would
like to see the Street Profits winand continue as a tag team. But
if the end game displaying it upas montest Ford and high profile match at
(46:02):
WrestleMania, then you do the splitand then you build them from now.
So my heart says to you,so is because I'm just gonna pick them
until I see them lose. Samewith Roman, but uh, that's kind
of where I'm coming from with theirI expect to us to retain. I
said, I said multiple years ago, if I'm starting a promotion, my
(46:23):
top woman is going to be Beyondaand my top male is going to be
montest Ford. It just what happens. They're merit. But I've said years
ago, it's like those are thethose are your two future stars right there.
So yeah, let's get to goingwith montest Ford at some point.
Yeah. I just hope Angelie Dawkinssustained the ful because I've I've been really
impressed with him lately and I've beenloving everything he's putting on In terms of
(46:45):
matches. Uh, this one,I think we can all say sweep Pat
McAfee and Happy Corbin. Uh.They both played with the Colts for like
a cup of coffee and a coupleof weeks. Is it even a couple
of weeks? I don't even knowit was a couple of weeks. I
give I give a Van Corbyn.I forget his real name, Thomas Peastock
or something like that, But isthere something like that like that was made
(47:07):
up, that's more made up thanThomas Pestock. He's right, yeah,
thas he was there for like acouple maybe a couple of weeks. He
got signed after the draft, Ithink, and he was there for like
I think during the off season too, like September and then he got cut.
But so he multiple times in thattime frame. We are saying clean
(47:27):
sweep though. Pat McAfee, Yes, yes, I feel like if it
was on the Titans, so yeah, but that would have that would have
been I feel like I feel likeBaron Corbin is immune to losing, just
the way that his character is.He can take loss after loss. Isn't
it weird doing a cult storyline inTennessee? Like, I don't know you
(47:47):
think about that. Titans fans likewhat, we don't care. They're gonna
move. Both guys know we're gonnatry to beat them twice next year.
We want to cheer for a coltsplayer that beat us for you, yours
in this stadium. He nominally coughand corner punts he got us back in
the day. No way, himand Peyton Manning came through town, just
trashed crashed him. Yeah, youwouldn't even Actually, they may not even
(48:09):
know who Pat McAfee is because youwould never be on the field when touchdown
touchdown toest down touchdown, Pat,you can take the week off. Now,
I'm gonna get Tennessee fans that they'relistening, like, oh, we
beat them at times. And PeteManning get bad in this game, but
the Eagles got a J. Brown. All right, you're tuned into the
(48:30):
WWE roundtable. We are I hateto go rapid fire for the next two
because the next match is maybe goingto be the best in the card because
we're running out of time. ButBianca Belair Becky Lynch. Bianca retains that
she gets her she continues to gether revenge on Becky. Does does Bianca
retain or are we building up tosomething bigger here? And Becky wins the
(48:51):
championship. Vaughn, it seemed likeyou wanted to go. Bianca retains and
they go to separate directions. Beckyneeds to do something else with Bianca,
and like Watson, Yeah, that'sthat's fair. Yeah, Bailey coming back
at some point, who knows youcan come back? Maybe after it took
late sounds a few people back thenthey need to go on separate directions.
Yeah, I think you know what, this might be the end of the
story line. You are right fromWrestleMania, you know this said this ends
(49:12):
from what a couple of years agoor whatever ONWN long that was ago.
So yeah, I think that endsthat kind of storyline that's that's going.
Nick, Yeah, I think youshould keep the title on Becky or Bianca.
I wouldn't be surprised if Becky wins, but I don't think that's the
avenue they'll take because right at thispoint she might be above the title.
Jason, Uh, Bianca over Becky, the match goes one of two ways.
(49:37):
It's either a fifteen to twenty minuteknockdown, drag out brawl twenty six
second where Bonca looks amazing, orit's a it's the full circle moment from
last Summer Slam where Bianca beats Beckyreally quick, uh, and then Bailey
can come back to kind of fillthat segment out. Either way, if
Bianca leaves with the title yet,I like that. All right, Live
Morgan Ronda Rousey. I know Ithink it was you Nick that said would
(50:00):
you would be that you were interestedin this one? I wouldn't be surprised
if this is a good match,but I understand saying so means our expectations
are rather low for this particular word. I mean, especially because of Ronda,
not anything against Live. So Ido think Live will will retain.
There's no reason to take the titleoff her. But maybe this will also
(50:22):
facilitate a heel turn for Ronda,because she's just lost out there as a
character right now. So if she'sgonna stay around, you know, they
gotta turn her heel. Then itfeels like really hard. Listen to what
you just said. You said,Live Morgan is gonna beat Ronda Rowsey.
That's wild, you know, youknow what we're talking about here. I
(50:46):
agree though, that that Ronda shouldturn heel, and Live Morgan would be
a good person to turn the heelagainst, especially if she beats the daylights
out of Live Morgan at SummerSlam andrag Dolls, which look you might like,
Oh, how does that do wellfor liv Morgan? It can as
she fights back at some point andgets her revenge. It gets Ronda.
So I'm gonna go with Ronda ina decisive victory. Ooh, Jason saying
(51:08):
now may plus the heel change.I like it. I think. I
think I think Live retains because Rondapicked her to be like Ronda was one
that said I will drop this toLive like she had had a word had
a hand in that. So Ithink if that respect is still there,
(51:30):
Live can retain, and then Rondafacilitates a heel turn by beating the crap
out of her in pure anger oncethe match is over. Okay, So
I think you still have a heelturn without taking the title off of Live
Morgan. It could be a flukewin. It can be like a like
a quick roll up where gets cockyor something like that. But I do
(51:52):
think I think because Live is sopopular, so popular, and it would
send the wrong message for this newregime that such a popular champion would lose
to Lady Brock, it would justfeel like more of the same. Yeah,
but I really do because this happensall the time with money in the
(52:14):
bank participants or money in the bankwinners in particular, that like sometimes their
title reign is all built off ofjust the money in the bank cash,
and and sometimes you know, youdon't get what kind of champion they are
until a little bit later. SoI think we're kind of in the beginning
stages of that, and so wecould see something different. Maybe there is
a heel turn, even though Idon't think that's going to happen. But
you know, whatever the case maybe, you know, I think this
(52:36):
is a building block for that titleregime and so an interesting match because of
that, and so I agree withNick like this this could end up I
think with that also kind of thrownin there, this could end up being
a really intriguing match and a greatone. All right. So last one,
and of course, now we goto the pool that you can enter,
the Draft Kings pool, and theygive us all of these kinds of
(52:57):
yeses and no's. So first one, and I think it's the big one,
so we can get out of theway, and we're gonna have to
do these rapid fires, just yesor nose, And we're just gonna start
with Jason, then Vond and Nickand just go all the way down,
all right. So I'm gonna starttier Will Theory cash in his briefcase at
SummerSlam, I am saying yes,yes. Is there a stipulation for successful
(53:17):
or unsuccessful? No? No,okay, then I'll add the caveat unsuccessful,
I'll say no, Yes, WillRum and Reigns retain both titles.
Here we go where maybe he getsone, Will rum and Rerains retain both
titles at the end, of SummerSlam? Yes or no? Yes,
I think so too. Yeah,yeah, I don't. How does he
(53:38):
lose one? And where's the pathof that? Theory takes one of them?
Okay? Yeah right, all right? So will the ringside barricade be
broken? Yes, for sure,it's a Brock match, like a time
on it? Yeah, that betshould be how many of them? Yeah?
(54:00):
Right, all the barricades get broken, it should be a time on
that. Yeah. Yeah, that'sthat's a great call. Will the first
four an object be used as aweapon? Table, ladder, chair,
kindo stick, title belt, notlisted, slash, no object. I'm
going kindow stick. Mhmm. Sohe's the easy one right in the Roman
(54:22):
Brock mass going chair? Chair?Okay, nice, everyone going chair?
Then I agree with that. Damn, nobody's going with the kindo stick.
All right, Well I'll just bethe loser. Then. How many total
Superman punches will be hit? Totallytotal? It's six and a half.
No, it's way over, wayover over. YESI ton last man standing
(54:46):
this. They're gonna go all outwith this. He's hitting at least six.
I'm going yea take the over.You might hit ten. I haven't
been this astounded by a total sinceDallas who said at ten and a half,
there's a reason why is that high? At least you're right with the
(55:06):
stipulation. All right, I guessit is over. You guys are probably
right there, but that just shockedme at first. All right, how
many individual people of brock les Ffive during the match? Oh? Over,
over, over, I'm going under. I think it's I think it's
(55:27):
maybe the US shows Roman reigns,but he won't. He won't F five.
Theory might come out and get Ffive get a chance to cash in,
but that will that be during thematch, though it could he could
come out but not get a chanceto cash in. They might do like
the Seth Rolands thing, but hedoesn't actually get a chance. They just
beat the daylights out of The totalsare ridiculous. I love this. He
(55:49):
gets up at the account and thento the guy and they bring him to
the ring before the match. Look, you're gonna cash it in now?
How about your just faces? Now? I would love that to get the
briefcase off him as soon as possible. A great way to do it.
The last total is how many tableswould be broken? That's one and a
(56:10):
half. I don't. I getthe announcer table for sure. Over man,
we're going over all these like oneand a half. I'm going I'm
going over because the announcer table,for sure. But you got each you
get each guy the only table oneretaliates. Yeah, so that's they might
(56:30):
go backstage. You got tables back? How insane is this match gonna be?
Good? Lord? I can't whereall the match and in ring ring
side other. I'm going, oh, other, that's always a big one
with last man standing, I'm goingin the ring ring Okay, Yeah,
it's got to be a ring,and that's because that's when theory cash is
in. Okay, but also,like like Nix said, you're in a
(56:51):
football stadium. You want the peopleto see the end of the match.
Yeah, either in ring or withBrock under a golf cart one of the
other. Jesus well, because hehit Kevin Owens. Remember in the take
more than a golf card, Itmight take a I take a damn eight.
Come on, this is guy who'sflipped over a car before, right,
wasn't that him? No? Thatwas Brown? He tore off the
(57:14):
car. Last one who will winthe match? Roman or Brock I'm going
Romana, yep, roman all right. That is uh. I have to
end it abruptly, but that isit for the w W Roundtable. Enjoy
