Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tonight was the final Monday Night Raw on the Road
to Survivor series. A little weird since SmackDown this Friday
has already been taped for days. A night where the
Heels won the man advantage in wargames, which is what
you would expect typically heading into a wargames match. It's
a little weird when the Babyfaces have the advantage, so

(00:22):
no real surprise there. And also brock Lesner fell on
his ass at the end of the show tonight. Yes
we had this was honestly when I saw this, When
I saw this, this made my night. This was his
shock Master moment. We got the brock Master tonight. The

(00:45):
brock Master was the best part of the entire show.
And you know, I never thought that they would bring
back brock Lesner and he would be the best comic
relief on the show. But here we are. First he split,
it's his pants on SmackDown. Now he's falling down on
his ass on Raw, but at least he rolled with it.

(01:07):
He came out to make his entrance here during the
main event, and Paul Hayman is standing right next to
him and his Pyro's about to go off, and he does,
and he slips on his fucking cowboy boots and he
does a complete back roll, and to his credit, he
popped right back up on his feet and he laughed
it off, because really, in that situation, what the fuck
are you supposed to do? I mean, if you can't

(01:28):
laugh at yourself, I mean, what are you supposed to
do in that situation. So as soon as I saw that,
I said, Okay, before I do anything else here, I
have to go ahead and mock up the Brock Master. Yes,
that's the best. Believe that's going to be super chat
after tonight. So that was how they went off the

(01:48):
air tonight with Brock falling on his ass coming down
to the ring after that with his teammates, and then
they had the obligatory big brawl here to end the show,
like they do, you know before a Royal rumble. Typically
you get a bunch of people out there and they
have a big brawl in the middle of the ring.
This was their last real hard sell for the men's
In the women's wargames matches this weekend, we had the

(02:10):
women's teams having a confrontation in the middle of the ring.
They had a brawl as well, not a particularly great one,
but they had a brawl. We had a back and forth,
not even really a back and forth because Becky Lynch
spoke first. Then the baby Faces came out. But aj
Lee got some promo time for the first time in
a long time here on the show. And you know,

(02:31):
going into these War Games matches now that we forget
smack that on Friday, I mean, you know, seeing the
spoilers the tape show not a big deal. But now
that I have seen all that there is to see
and we know the situation and who's going to have
the advantage, at least on the men's side, I won't
spoil who's going to get the advantage on the women's side.

(02:52):
For those of you who haven't you know, seen it,
or you want to wait to watch the show on Friday.
The key thing here is that there is a lot
of star power in these matches. You know, they got
aj Lee in her first War Games match, you got
Brock Lesner in his first War Games match. You've got
on the baby Face side. On the men's team alone,
you've got Cody Rhoads and Roman Reigns and Cimpunk right,

(03:15):
And on the other side, you've got Brock and you've
got Drew McIntyre and then on the women's side, Rea
Ripley and Charlotte and aj and Becky, So definitely some
big names in these matches. On the baby face side,
men's wise, there are people that are in the match
that makes sense. Cody Rhoads is the most prominent one
who really stands out that doesn't really make a whole

(03:37):
lot of sense, and it was one of those situations
where they just they wanted him on the show, they
needed something for him to do, and so they decided
to shoehorn him into the Wargames match where he really
doesn't have a specified role. You know, once Cody was
announced for the match, you knew Drew McIntyre would follow.

(03:57):
But Roman reins right. He had been attacked by the Vision,
so it makes sense why he would want to be
in that match. The ussos have been feuding with the Vision,
it makes sense why they would be in there. CM
punk same thing. Cody just feels very shoehorned in there,
even though on Friday he cut this short but incredible
babyface promo to really sell the match. So that's one

(04:21):
of my only real issues with the match on the
men's side, and on the women's side. Look, you know
the lash legend. This is her big you know, pl
debut here in WWE, so I'm sure she'll have a
good showing in that match. Naya Jacks had a very
forgettable showing in the one last year. Becky and aj
have had issues for a few months, so obviously, you know,

(04:42):
having them on opposing sides makes sense. But it's just
one of those years where you look at this and go,
does it really feel like there is a hot issue
on the men's side or the women's side. Frankly, maybe
more so the women's side, but a real issue that
necessitates war games, And that'll be a question that gets
debated by people. And should they be doing war games

(05:04):
every year? No, they shouldn't, and they really should reserve
it for those occasions where it feels like, Okay, we
need a war games this year, and I'm not so
sure that this year falls under that category. But the
one thing you can't say about these two matches is
that they don't have star power in them. They absolutely do.

(05:25):
But we also have to turn to a different subject
because wargames is not the only thing happening at Survivor series.
John Cena will be on the show. It will be
his final Survivor series and he will be defending the
Intercontinental title against Dominique Mysterio. John Cena was not on
the show tonight. A version of John Cena was on

(05:45):
the show tonight. John Cena himself was not on the
show tonight. But they're running this tournament because after this Saturday,
he's got one appearance left, and that last appearance will
be his final match that is coming up on December thirteenth.
Now we are in the middle of this Last Time
is Now tournament, and today we had two more matches

(06:08):
in the tournament, two quarterfinal round matches, one of which
had Gunther against Carmelo Hayes who squeaked by with a
count out win over Bronson Reid Friday nut On SmackDown
and these two now gun through last week with Javon Evans,
I mean, they had a killer match. My favorite match
in the tournament so far still even after tonight, my

(06:28):
favorite match in the tournament Gunther and Javon from last week.
But tonight Gunther went out there with Carmelo Hayes and
they tore it up and they had a very good match.
The second best match so Gunther's on a roll here
in this tournament so far, and then we were supposed
to have Solo Socoa against Penta, and that is where

(06:50):
everything fell apart and it turned into a real disaster
here in this tournament, especially given with what we're left
with now. Penta suffered an injury within the first five
minutes of this match, and it was on a relatively
simple maneuver, simple for Penta, where he came off the

(07:10):
top of the barricade and did a rana and took
Solo down to the floor. Penta did not get up
right away, and clearly he was in some degree of pain.
There was something going on there, and the doctor rushed
over and they went to a commercial break, and when
they came back, the referee called the match off and

(07:33):
Solo Socoa was awarded the victory, which means in the
semi finals of this tournament to crown a final opponent
for John Cena. Next week, we are going to be
getting Gunther against Solo Socoa, and obviously that's awful. I mean,
forget Heal against Heel, Gunther against Penta is what we

(07:55):
were supposed to get, right, not a dat in my mind,
that was the match we were supposed to get and
now we're now getting it. And the bigger story here
obviously is Penta because how hurt is he? I'm telling you,
I mean, this tournament is cursed. I don't understand what
is going on this year with this company and shoulder injuries.

(08:18):
Like in this tournament alone, we just lost Shamus who
was supposed to advance and then we found out has
a shoulder injury and had to forfeit his spot in
the tournament. And wait until you find out who the
replacement is on Friday. So Shamus shoulder injury, out of
the tournament, Penta shoulder injury out of the tournament. Seth

(08:41):
Rollins had to vacate his World Heavyweight Championship shoulder injury surgery,
Chad Gable shoulder injury surgery, Live Morgan shoulder injury surgery.
What is going on here like this? This is insane.

(09:02):
So it sucks for Penta, It sucks for the rest
of us who are hoping to see Gunther and Penta
in the next round. I will note to you that
Brian Alvarez of F four W Online, he posted an
update saying that the match was scheduled to go twelve minutes. Again,
it didn't even go five. It was scheduled to go
twelve minutes. Penta wanted to continue the match, he was

(09:26):
not allowed to. He said that Penta wanted to try to,
in his words, pop his shoulder back in, which would
indicate a dislocation if that's the case, and the doctor
would not allow it, and that is why they called
off the match. I don't know if maybe that's a
positive thing to indicate that it's not an overly serious
injury if it was simply you know, a case where

(09:46):
it got popped out of the socket. We'll have to
wait and see exactly how serious the injury is. Hopefully
it's nothing that's going to keep him out for an
extended period of time or require surgery like you know
all of these other people, which would be a worst
case scenario. But even a best case scenario, he's out
of the tournament and I'm sure he's out of action
for at least a little bit of time, and that

(10:08):
really really sucks. And look, injuries happen. This was not
something that was planned for. You could even see Solo
after the match was very unhappy, you know, and I'm
sure not just because the match went off the rails
and they couldn't do what they were planning on doing.
But because he was upset that somebody got hurt, and
he even cussed out a fan. I don't know what
the fans said to him, but somebody obviously mouthed off

(10:29):
to him in the crowd. He told him fuck you
as he was walking out with Tallatanga. So that's the
update as far as the tournament and as far as
Penta is concerned. Not a great situation that really cast
a dark cloud on this show tonight, especially as we
now head into a Gunther and Solo Socoa match on

(10:50):
the show next week. Gee, I wonder who's going to
the final. I mean, if we're being honest here, even
if Penta would have advanced, we all know who's going
to the finals of this tournament. We all know who
is winning this tournament. There's really no great mystery to it.
But that is a match that I cannot sit here
and tell you I am looking forward to. But shit

(11:11):
happens in the circumstances obviously dictate. Otherwise, this was not
a great episode of RAW. I thought it was a very,
you know, middling run of the mill episode. I mean,
it wasn't, you know, terrible, but it wasn't great either.
It was just like, eh, it was a very meh.
That's that's what tonight's episode was. But we'll talk about

(11:32):
all of it. This is your Monday Night raw review.
This review will not be meh. At least you can
rely on that. It is Monday night. It is November
twenty fourth, twenty twenty five. I am the solimn Monster. Yeah,
there's another implication here by the way of you know,
what happens with this Penta injury that kind of sucks.
I'll get into that a little bit later, like and subscribe.

(11:54):
Super chats are open and I will be reading all
of your messages here a little bit later on. In
the shot. We have a special bonus goal should we
hit it with some fun stuff in there. You could
check the chat for that. Roman Reigns opened the show
telling OKC to acknowledge me, and that's all he got

(12:16):
out before Cody Rhoades came out to join him or
interrupt him, depending on how you want to look at it.
Cody asked the crowd in OKAC what they wanted to
talk about, and Cody said that Roman is a man
of his word. He said, the last time Rains gave
him his word, it was for a match. But this,
this is a war, and Cody asked, what's in it

(12:38):
for Roman? See? If Roman wanted to be, if he
wanted to be one hundred here, he would have looked
at Cody and said, why are you here? Why are
you here? What business do you have with the vision?
What business do you have with Logan Paul? But I
guess we could say the same for Logan Paul. What
business does Logan Paul have in wargames other than they
have nothing else for him to do. Roman said that

(13:00):
he had been in the war that Cody was just joining.
He said that he doesn't like Cody, Cody doesn't like him,
and they don't even know each other that well, but
neither one of them plays around when it comes to family,
and he said half the team is his family. He
said he's been invested in the USOS for a long
time and would see that investment through. Cody told him understood,

(13:22):
then all I can say is welcome to my team,
and he extended a hand to him. Rains did not
accept the handshake. Before CM Punk's music hit and outcomes
the world Heavyweight Champion. Punk asked the crowd to acknowledge
all three of them, this is an all star war Games.
He didn't need Roman's word because he saved his life

(13:45):
in last year's Wargames. Roman immediately shot back that Punk
ruined his life four months later. Punk knew that gave
Roman a reason to stab him in the back. But
Punk was not worried because that would mean that Roman
would be stabbing the USOS in the back, and he
knows that. He sarcastically said that Roman would never be

(14:07):
mean to his own family or put them between a
rock and a hard place. Cody tried to settle things down.
Punk ass Cody, why did you refer to this as
your team? Punk reminded him that this was his show.
You could be the QB on Fridays, but on Mondays,
I'm the champion. Roman said that Punk and Cody should

(14:29):
just whip them out and start measuring. Is that allowed
on Netflix? I don't know. I know it's not Basic Cable,
but I don't think Netflix would like that very much.
I agree. See the Mento's theme song is still top
tier of all time. There's no reason why that shouldn't
be on TV today. I'm sorry, you can't tell me

(14:49):
that you can't find an ad agency that can't rekindle
that whole ad campaign and come up with a whole
new slate of Mento's commercials. They would make a boatload
of money. I don't know why that don't do them anymore.
So Roman didn't care whose team it was. He said
he hated Paul Hayman, he hated the Vision. Punk could
count on the fact that Roman hated them more than

(15:11):
he hated him. Roman left the ring, but not before
saying that the title would look better on my shoulder.
And as he's leaving, you could hear Punk in the
background say which title are you referring to? And Roman said, well,
that's for you to figure out. Establishing some friction here
between the three amigos, the three presumed team captains here

(15:34):
in wargames. So that was the whole purpose of the
segment here, was to establish some tention here as we
head into Saturday, are they going to be able to coexist?
I mean, this is like the ultimate can they coexist? Situation? Right?
Can they co exist? Can they get along long enough
to be able to beat the bad guys? Pretty basic
stuff backstage speaking of the bad guys. Paul Hayman is

(15:59):
with his Wargame team all but brock Lesner, and he's
begging Drew McIntyre to be on his best behavior tonight,
because technically you're still suspended and the only reason that
you're allowed into this building is because I picked you
to be on the Wargames team. But if you do
so much as yell boo at somebody, they're just looking
for a reason to bounce you out of here. So
please be on your best behavior. He says, there's going

(16:21):
to be a tag team match tonight for the Wargames advantage,
Drew is going to be in it. Logan Paul suggested
that brock Lesner should be Drew's partner, Haymen said it's
not going to be brock Lesner, and then Logan suggested
bron Breaker. Hayman said no, and then he suggested Bronson
Reid and Haymon said no. And this all led to

(16:43):
the realization on Logan's face, I'm the partner, and Haymon
said yes, and Logan called it a wise choice. So
that set up our main event for tonight where Drew
and Logan, who were weren't they partners? At SummerSlam. They were,
weren't they? It was Drew and Logan against Bad Bunny

(17:06):
and who is the other guy? I already forgot, but
I think that was the Summer Slam match. Anyway, they
would be in the main event tonight in the first
of two quarterfinal round matches and the John Cena Last
Time Is Now tournament. We had Gunther against Carmelo Hayes,

(17:30):
who got the big upset win over Bronson reed Randy Orton,
thank you. I can you really blame me? Though? Randy
Orton has basically disappeared. He's vanished off the face of
the earth now for months, couldn't remember who a Jelly
Roll's partner was. Randy Orton? What's he doing these days?

(17:51):
He's sitting back, He's just lounging out, having fun. He'll
be watching war games from the comfort of his own
couch this weekend with the Misses. So Gunther held control
through a commercial break, he cut off Hayes's comeback when
they came back. When the show came back, now, Carmelo,

(18:12):
there was a there's like a few chants for Hayes,
and here Gunther looked into the camera at one point
and he questioned why he even had to wrestle him.
He goes, what did he do to deserve this? What
did he do to earn this spot? He's saying into
the camera, Well, I mean he beat Bronson Reid on Friday,
although I guess you could argue he really didn't beat

(18:34):
Bronzon Reid. It was more Cody Rhodes who beat Bronson Reid.
But that's why he's here. Gunther tried for a power
bomb Hayes, though countered into a DDT. This led to
a second commercial break. Hayes ducked the chop on the apron.
Gunther's arm at that point hit the ring post. Hayes

(18:55):
tried to slingshot DDT onto the apron and they both
basically fell to the ground. Gunther completely missed. He like
grazed the apron on the way down and they all
splattered on the floor. Hayes followed with a flip dive
and then back dropped Gunther into the timekeeper's area. Gunther
was not about to let Hayes attempt a count out win, though,

(19:16):
so he dumped Carmelo into the timekeeper's area next. Hayes
quickly re emerged, though on top of the barricade over there,
and he dropped gun through with a leaping DDT and
then he scampered back into the ring. And they did
it basically they wanted you to believe that after the
way he won on Friday, he could potentially pull it
off for a second time here and Guntherer might just

(19:38):
get counted out. But of course Guntherer made it back
into the ring just in the nick of time. So
the crowd was really into things now by this point,
Hayes went for nothing, but net Gunther dodged it. Absolutely
clobbered him with a clothesline and then a power bomb,
but only got a near fall. Then everybody cheered because
they bought into that. As the potential finish. Gunther applied

(20:00):
the sleeper hold and you think, okay, well this is
it right in a matter of moments here it's going
to all be over. And they allowed him though to struggle,
and he actually was able to fight to his feet,
but it wasn't enough. Gunther dropped him with a second
power bomb, this time with a stack, and he got
the pin to advance to the semi finals. This was

(20:22):
another week, and this was another banger for Gunther in
this tournament. I loved the match with Levon Evans last week.
I really liked the match tonight. A few notches below
that one, but still a very good match with Carmelo Hayes,
who more than held up his end of things. I mean,
he looked even more impressive here than he did in
the match with Reid, because Reid really had more of

(20:43):
the offense, and it wasn't really that match was not
designed to really get Carmelo Hayes over. It wasn't designed
as like a highlight reel for him so much as
it was to keep Reid strong and going into war
games and then have all the babyfaces come out and
cost him and get their revenge, and then he kind
of ekes on by tonight. He really went, you know,

(21:05):
toe to toe with this man, and he stood his
ground and there was some great near falls, and he
held his own. He held out as long as he
could until you know, he just couldn't anymore. It was
a very competitive match, more competitive than I was probably
thinking it would be. I would love to think that
it's going to lead to more of a sustained push
on SmackDown for Hayes, but really, what is it going

(21:25):
to lead to it's going to lead to a match
with a miz and after that runs its course. Who
the hell knows. I really, you know, there was a
period of time early on when Triple H took over
where I would have said that I had it. It
was something I felt when I used to watch Luca Underground,
where I just couldn't stand so much of the WWE

(21:47):
product and there was no goodwill there. I automatically just
assumed the worst, this guy's gonna get buried, this guy's
going to get his legs cut off. There was just
no reason to believe that some of the people that
I was a fan of, the people who really deserve
to have a spotlight shown on them, that Vince McMahon
was going to do that, and in many cases he didn't.

(22:09):
But when I watched Lucia Underground, I remember just I
was so you know, into what they were doing and
the stories that they were telling that you know, even
if there was a week where maybe they did something
that made me go, oh, I don't know about that,
but you know what, I give them the benefit of
the doubt and rarely would they ever let me down.
That's how I felt about Triple AH, very early on
when he took over the book. You know, here in

(22:31):
this company, I gave him the benefit of the doubt
because I had no reason at that point to think that,
you know, they were going to drop the ball and
the way that they used to, and they were doing
a lot of good stuff. And now, you know, with
certain people, and Carmelo Hayes is one of those people,
but just look at what they've been doing on SmackDown.
Why in the world would anybody give these people the

(22:52):
benefit of the doubt. You know. Now it's more like
I'll believe it when I see it. Same thing with
La Night and certain other people on the roster. I'll
believe it when I see it. I don't give anybody
the benefit of the doubt anymore because I've been burned
too many times and I've seen what they've done and
the inaction when it comes to, you know, pushing or

(23:14):
elevating certain people who should be pushed or elevated on
the show. And Carmelo Hayes is one of those people.
So look, I hope for his sake, I hope it happens,
but I ain't giving them the benefit of the doubt.
But you would hope that a performance like this would
in the long run, it would lead to more opportunities
for him. We'll see, but this was This was a
very enjoyable match here, second best of the entire tournament

(23:36):
so far. Backstage, CM punk and Cody Rhoades they're talking,
They're having a conversation and a Roman is just standing
there when the usso's appear and Jay calls them, Hey,
it was one big happy family, right. Jimmy and Jay
say that they are on the same page and their

(23:59):
partners could count on them tonight in the main event
in the man advantage match. So after the usso's laugh
rains ass Punkin Cody who the team leader was, and
he told them to fix this and he left. This
guy thinks he's back in the Bloodline. He's bossing around
CM Punkin. Cody rhads after this, Oh boy, we had

(24:21):
a throwback. I felt like I was watching Raw from
twenty years ago. We had Dominic Mysterio out. Next, he
had a message, one final message to deliver to John
Cena before their big title match at Survivor Series, and
he told Sena that he's going to put an end
to this retirement tour and he's going to embarrass him

(24:44):
in his hometown of San Diego to take back the
Intercontinental Championship. And he will continue, he said, to be
the greatest mysterio of all time. And it doesn't even
matter if the fans cheer for John Cena or the
don't cheer for John Cena. He's not even here tonight,
and he doesn't even blame him for not wanting to

(25:06):
come to a dump like Oklahoma City. So then he
is interrupted by John Cena's music. And these poor people
in Oka, see, man, they took the bait. They exploded
when they heard John Cena's music because they thought, oh
my god, we're going to get to see John Cena
one last time. Man's retiring in a few weeks. I

(25:27):
bought a ticket to this show, not thinking that we
were going to get the chance to see John Cena.
But here he is right, his music is playing, the
trumpets are blaring. But it was not John Cena. It
was a mini sena. They had a little person dressed
up as John Cena. Apparently, from what I could ascertain here,

(25:50):
this guy is a wrestler from the Big Little Brawler's
reality show. His name is Psycho. Remember Psycho. Stu was
spelled the same way Syko. So he's a wrestler named Psycho. Oh.
I see, I knew that Lisa would love that thumbnail.
What's going on, Lisa NYC Demon Diva? She is in

(26:13):
love with the tribal chief in the thumbnail of tonight's video. See.
I may have to swap him out though now when
I'm done here and put a picture of Brock slipping
and falling on his ass. See to me, that should
be the thumbnail for tonight's video. But now, because I
know she likes it so much, I may have to
leave it alone and keep it the way it is. Yes,

(26:36):
we had Mini Sina, Mini Sena, and they had Mini
Stu the cameraman. Take a look at this. This is
This is an actual image from tonight's show. I want
you to look at this image here right, Mini Steu
was being filmed by actual Stu the cameraman. This like

(27:00):
Stu's seption here in this image. But again, I'm watching
this segment and I felt like I was watching an
episode of Raw from two thousand and five. So Mini
Sena he runs down to the ring with fun sized
stew and actual stew hauling ass behind him, and then
at ringside. They showed actual stew filming with fun sized

(27:23):
stew standing right next to him on a box. Get
him a couple of extra inches in height. So Dom
is in the ring now and he is facing Mini Sena,
and he is having a very difficult time not busting
out laughing. Here in this segment he is nearly corpsing.

(27:43):
He slipped a little bit there. A couple of times
he almost corpsed in the middle of the ring. And
he told Minnie Sena that he could drop him where
he stands, but he's gonna let him walk away. And
Dom again, he was doing all he could just not
to burst out laughing. Here, Mini Sena gave the fine
speech line that we've heard Seena give before. Fine speech

(28:07):
he said, coming from the worst mysterio of all time.
Dom leaned in and told him, hey, stick to the plan,
and Minie Sena said that if you won't fight me
in front of the good people of Oklahoma City, going
for that cheap peat or the cheap peat, the cheap pop.
This old segment was cheap peat. Minnie Sena was going

(28:29):
for the cheap pop. He goes then it's Survivor series.
If you want some come get some because the champ
is here. And then Dom booted him down to the bat.
That made me laugh. When he booted him down, that
didn't make me laugh. I will say, I don't know
if that makes me a bad person or not. Maybe
it does. I don't really give a shit. So Dom

(28:50):
did the you can't see me and then he dropped
some five knuckle shuffle action. Then he draped him over
the middle rope. He delivered a six one nine, and
then he dragged fun size Sena to the center of
the ring and Dom went up to the top rope
and he squashed him with a frog splash. So then
Ray Maysterio's music hits. He got away for your music. Cue.

(29:15):
Now Raymysterio comes running out to the ring, and of
course his son Bales and Ray tended to Minnie Sena
as Dom left, and JD mcdonnaugh's music hit because he
was set for a match tonight with Raymisterio, which obviously
was coming up next. I love I love how Raymysterio.

(29:36):
He didn't come out initially when Dom booted him down.
He didn't come out when he did the five knuckle shuffle.
He didn't come out when he had this little mini
men draped over the middle rope, and he did the
six one nine, and he did the frog splash. He
allowed this man to be killed, and then when they
hit his music, he decided to run out and make
the safe. What is with these babyfaces who decided to

(29:58):
make the save after the crime has already been committed,
after the man has been murdered, now it's time. Why
do we even say come out to make the say?
Why am I even calling it the save? There was
no save. He was late, He didn't save anybody. I
don't know why I call it that. That's not what
it was. It's incorrect, it's not accurate. He came out

(30:18):
to uh hog the spotlight, perhaps I guess, but there
was no save. I mean, Dom was not wrong here.
This man is a deadbeat what he was trying to
prove here, So this was something straight out of the
race said hey, little guy, it's right. Maybe he felt

(30:40):
he felt bad, he fell bad. You know, it's not
often that Raymisterio finds himself in the ring with somebody
who's smaller than him. So maybe he just he just
felt badly about it. But you would think that would
actually inspire him to come out earlier to help this man,
but he didn't do that. This this was a segment
that Vince McMahon would have cooked up twenty years ago,

(31:01):
fifteen years ago, thirty years ago. And there were certainly
aspects of this. I will say this to the cameraman bit,
that that was kind of clever, but this was the
blast from of the past, not necessarily in the best
possible way. Now I understand them not wanting to send
Dominic out there to do a serious promo, right because

(31:23):
John scene is not there, So what do you do?
You could have run a pre tape of some kind,
but Seene is not there. This is what they decided. Okay,
we're going to just lean into Don being an asshole.
He's a smug asshole who shows no respect. This version
of Dominic mysterio is not going to go out there
and cut a serious promo on John Cena and be

(31:46):
taken seriously by too many people. So they went in
the opposite direction and had him do something juvenile and
disrespectful and dumb. That was the point of doing this
and having fun at John Seena's expense. And I'd still
think that when we head into Survivor series this weekend.
There is only one outcome here that makes sense. There

(32:08):
is only one outcome here that should be the outcome,
which is that Dominic Mysterio wins back the Intercontinental Championship
because we all see where this tournament is headed. We
all know where things are headed, and there is absolutely
no reason for John Cita to still be the champion
going into Washington, DC. So if this is his second

(32:31):
to last match, there's only one option here, and I
believe Live Morgan is going to assist and help Dominic
Masterio win back the Intercontinental title. Of course, he's not
going to do it by himself, but I do think
that we will see Live Morgan back this weekend and
she will factor into the finish of this match. Now,

(32:51):
we had Ray Maisterio who was out there for his
match after this with JD McDonough. Finn Balor, I should
point out, was out there as well in McDonough's corner.
He was getting involved during the commercial break. McDonough applied
an abdominal stretch and Balor held his arm back for
leverage from the outside. Referee caught him. Now, you would

(33:12):
think in this situation the logical thing to do would
be for the referee to eject dominic mysteria, the referee's discretion.
We see them ejecting people from ringside every week. If
a heel so much as sneezes or looks in the
direction of the baby face right, the referee will eject
them and send them to the back. Or if this
was aw of course you'd have Aubrey Edwards and she
would be having a whole proction and she would throw

(33:34):
everybody out. She would grab the heel, she would throw
the heel through the hoop earrings that she was wearing
at the fucking pay per view this weekend. So we
see this all the time, and yet the referee did
no such thing here. He yelled at him, he said
a few words to him, but he allowed Finn Balor
to continue to stand at ringside after this. So Ray

(33:54):
made has comeback. He went for a six one nine.
Mcdonough'll caught him with a standing Spanish fly only for
a two count. Ray responded with a code read for
two of his own. He went for a six one nine,
but he got tripped up by Ballor, who was still
allowed out there. McDonough tried a cheap shot. Ray though
tripped him into Ballor, which knocked Balor off the apron.

(34:18):
Ray followed with a sixty one nine and a springboard
splash for the win, and Baalor tried to attack Ray
after the match. Ray was ducking and dodging him and
then was able to escape the rings. Sometimes I watch
Ray Mysterio out there, it's hard for me to believe
he's fifty years old because he still moves around out
there like he's, you know, twenty years younger, you know,

(34:40):
I mean the way he was like dodging and avoiding
Balor here and then escaped, Like watching him move around
out there, and I'm like, you would think that after
wrestling for so many years, especially the style that he's wrestled,
and all the injuries and the knee injuries, like, how
was he even able to move, let alone still do
the stuff that he does. So it will never not

(35:01):
be impressive to me that the raymisterio that we see
out there right now on television when he's healthy, because
you know, he does get hurt from time to time,
But the raymisteria that we see out there on TV
right now is actually better. Curiosity is killing me, just
like a camp would be killed by the curiosity. Yeah, hey,

(35:22):
Sidro is with us, But he is better than he
was ten years ago, twelve years ago, because again, there
was that period of time in the early twenty tens
where he was constantly getting hurt. It was just his knees,
and I thought then that this guy's done. And here
we are now twelve thirteen years later, and he's still

(35:44):
able to go out there and perform at a high
level and move around the ring as fast as he does.
It's impressive, you know, it is impressive. The groin injury
that he had earlier this year was a total freak occurrence.
That was right before WrestleMania. He got thrown out of
the raining hard, I think by the street profits and
just the way he landed. Yeah, that wasn't even a

(36:06):
knee injury. That was a groin thing, which is very painful.
But stem cells, man, stem cells, they have literally added
years onto this man's career. That's the only reason he's
able to keep doing what he's doing at the level
he does it at. But this was a good match.

(36:26):
I said it on the sound of when I was
talking about SmackDown the other night. You know, JD McDonough
is like a Shamous compared him to Shamus and that
he is one of the more reliable, consistent performers on
the roster when it comes to just sending him out
there and knowing that he is going to deliver a
good match or if not a very good match, every

(36:47):
single time he's out there. You could also rely on
the fact that he will likely be looking up at
the lights and taking the losing fault at the end
of it. That's all bit guaranteed. But you can always
rely on him to go out there and give you
a banger match, and this was no different. This was
good stuff. We had Raquel Rodriguez, she was in the

(37:08):
back with Adam Pierce and she was not happy about
Nicki Bella getting a championship match Againstephanie Vicquerre before her,
as she has every right to be, by the way,
you know, who has the right to be even more
upset than anybody else, Rock Sane Perez. But it's not
them getting a title match, it's Nicki Bella this weekend.

(37:28):
So Pierce said that, look, you're in the mix. They're
in the title mix, and that was enough to satisfy her.
So that was the end of their conversation. Meanwhile, the
New Day and Grayson Waller walk in and they're complaining
about Adam Pierce ruining their lives. Pierce tells them, you
know aj Styles and Dragon Lee. They want to defend

(37:49):
their titles next week against the New Day, and this
pleases them greatly. Grayson Waller places a wig on Peer
his head. Pierce snaps at him to get out, and
he says that I need a drink. That's how I
feel usually when I watch SmackDown on Fridays. I need

(38:11):
a good, stiff drink. Give me a double. Then we
saw a cowboy Brock walking in the back and he
finds Paul Hayman waiting outside of a room and Brock
walks in and they shut the door behind them. That
would not be the last that we see of Cowboy
Brock here on the show. We had the former Women's

(38:33):
Intercontinental Champion, Yes former Becky Lynch out to the ring
next ahead of a commercial break. During the break, her
partners for War Games made their way out to the ring,
Naya Jack Slash Legend Oscar Kyrie, saying Becky called last
week's result in injustice and said that she had the
best lawyers in the world working to overturn it. She

(38:55):
was advised though not to talk about it, but she
did want to say that she followed the rules unlike
Maxim Dupree and referee Jessica Carr, the result would be
overturned and the company would be better off. The company
would also be better off when she got rid of
aj Lee once and for all, and she said aj
made a mistake by coming back to cost her the championship,
but the biggest mistake that she will ever make is

(39:18):
entering wargames with her and Becky admitted that she had
her differences with her teammates, and she went one by
one down the line as she put her arm around Osca,
who wasn't thrilled about this, and talked about their many battles,
most of which I won, she said. Becky called Naya
very powerful, not powerful like me, but powerful enough to

(39:41):
break her face, says Nya was the only person ever
to damage her face, but she has strong cheekbones and
at least she didn't need to wear a mask like
rotten Rhea Ripley. She called lash Legend her new friend
and a fine specimen of a woman who Becky would
like to make into a star. She also mentioned so

(40:02):
she mentioned rotten. Rhea Ripley also in this promo she
mentioned Charlatan Flair, which I've not heard that before, and
awful Alexa. And that's about as far as she could
get before she was interrupted. And then all the members
of the Babyface team in wargames got individual entrances, So

(40:22):
Rhea Ripley EO Sky, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and then
finally AJ Lee and they all make their way down
to the ring, and now AJ her turn to talk
to Becky. Aj said that the old AJ would have
run to the ring and torn Becky's face off, but
therapy worked. She said that she knew Becky was just

(40:44):
feeling insecure and afraid. Said that she didn't need to
run her mouth to lift herself up because she knew
who the hell she was. She didn't need to bark
like an angry chihuahuah. She doesn't bark, she says, she bites.
That's right, like Larry the dog. She said that Becky

(41:08):
poured gasoline on the fire and now she was locking
herself in a cage with me. She said that she
would be free to do whatever she wanted, and she
wasn't alone and wanting to see Becky get knocked off
her pedestal, so she asked Rhea if she agreed. Rhea
Ripley took the microphone. Rhea Ripley, though, had nothing to say,

(41:29):
and instead Rhea smashed the microphone in Naya's face. That
led to a big brawl and the baby faces stood tall.
At the end, EO wiped out most of the heels
with a moon salt off the top to the floor outside,
as Becky backed up the aisle with a look of
concern on her face. Oscar and Kyrie here they look ridiculous,

(41:50):
you know, falling down for this moon salt and selling
it when EO didn't even touch them, like EO landed
on Naya and lash legend. So Kyrie was on one's
at one side, Oscar is on the other, and they
just they all fall down. It just it looks so silly.
Becky's promo, though, I thought, was really good. It was

(42:11):
amusing the little nicknames that she came up with for people. Yeah,
I said this the other night. She's been going absolutely
crazy ever since she lost the championship last Monday. All
of her tweets, all the capitalized you know, tweets non
stop for a week. I had to mute her on
my timeline because it just got so overwhelming. She hasn't

(42:31):
shot up about this title loss all week, but you
know here in this promo, she went down the line
and she had a little something to say about each
of her partners, and it wasn't always very complimentary, so
you saw the expression on their face, and so much
like the opening segment on the show, and this one
was a little a little less overt, but you know,

(42:53):
kind of building the tension a little bit between all
of her teammates and Becky. Makes you wonder if maybe
at some point during the match on Saturday, Becky is
in a position where she needs some assistance, will her
partners be there to actually help her. Because she seems
to have a very high opinion of herself. And if

(43:13):
Becky finds herself in a sticky situation, is she going
to be on her own? Is there going to be
some sort of break between them at some point during
the match? I don't know, but the babyfaces here stood tall,
and if you read the result the spoilers for SmackDown
coming up on Friday, they're going to have the woman

(43:35):
advantage match. This all has me reconsiderate my prediction for
Survivor Series. Now. I'm gonna stick with what my prediction was.
I'm not going to go back on it. I'm gonna
stick with it. But man, the way things are shaping
up right now, it's pretty lopsided in favor of the
baby Faces. We had our second quarterfinal match in the

(43:59):
John C Last Time is Now tournament with Solo Socoa
against Penta, and this is where things fell off. Unfortunately,
disaster struck very early on here in this match. Solo,
they're outside the ring, Solo sends Penta over the barricade
and into the crowd. Penta the re emerges on top

(44:20):
of the barricade and he jumps off and he brings
Solo down with a very simple Yeah, as simple as
it could be simple for him, a simple herd conarana
spot right. It wasn't anything crazy, it wasn't anything out
of the ordinary for Penta. But he landed awkwardly on
his shoulder. You know, he landed with all of his

(44:42):
weight down on his left shoulder, and he stayed down
and medical rushed over. Yeah, the camera was on Solo,
but you can still see Penta kind of at the
top of the screen and you can see you know,
the doctor trainer, whoever it was, you know, rush over
to check on him, and they headed into what I
think was a planned commercial break. They were probably gonna

(45:03):
take a break there. Anyway. I'm watching, of course with
my trustee Express VPN, so I'm watching during the commercial break,
and the camera follows Solo back into the ring. They
did not put the camera back on Penta after that,
so that right there is a telltale sign that Okay,
something is going on here. So they keep the camera

(45:24):
focused on Solo, who's like kneeling in the corner. He's
not doing anything, and they just refused to show Penta,
and the announcers are talking about how he's still being
tended to and looked over by the doctors. They did
show a couple of replays of the spot, including a
slow mo replay, and again, the only awkward thing is
just the way that he came down on the shoulder.

(45:44):
He landed with all of his weight on the shoulder.
I mean, it's not like remember when Ray Phoenix got
hurt several years ago on Dynamite. I want to say
maybe it was he got thrown out of the ring.
I don't remember exactly what the spot was was, but
when his arm bent that sickening. I don't know how

(46:05):
he didn't break his arm. Somehow he didn't break his arm,
but he still got hurt and he was out I
think for several months. It wasn't anything like that. Yeah,
I don't want to make it sound like it was
like a phoenix type of thing, where, oh my god,
he's got this horrific you know, you know, disgusting arm injury.
It was nothing like that. But he finally got back
up to his feet. They came back from commercial and

(46:27):
he got back up to his feet. The referee, though,
called the match off. He waved the match off. They
rang the bell and they awarded the win to Solo
Soca on the basis of Penta being unable to continue.
And Penta was banging on top of the barricade as
he was being let out. Clearly he was very frustrated

(46:48):
and just visibly upset, as was Solo Socoa because he
left with Taalatanga and he, you know, he put his
finger in the air and all that to kind of
celebrate his win, but he was not happy, you know,
he was not selling it. Like, oh wow, I guess
I'm moving on to the next round. There was none
of that here. He was. He was pissed, and I'm

(47:11):
sure it was a combination of they had this twelve
minute match planned that they were not able to do
a lot of the shit they were supposed to do.
But the main reason was his opponent got hurt. And
that's never something that you want to see happen, you know,
I mean, it sucks. It's a very shitty situation. And
it's nothing to do with him. I mean, you know,

(47:31):
he was had nothing to do with Pental landing on
his shoulder. It's just the way that it happened. Solo
was in a completely different area when Pental landed. But
it sucks. And again, there was a fan in the
crowd who mouthed off to him and said something that
obviously pissed him off, and you could see Solo looks
at the guy and basically says fuck you, and you

(47:52):
just keeps walking. So this was terrible, just for so
many different reasons, you know, to to see Penta get hurt.
And again, hopefully it's nothing overly serious. We still have
no official update yet, but the fact that he got
hurt and the fact that this has now further screwed

(48:14):
up this tournament bracket. And this right here, I'll put
it up for you right now. This is the current
bracket for the tournament as things stand. And you see
there what are semi final match is going to be
on the right side of that bracket. We are now
going to get next week Gunther against Solo Socoa. This

(48:36):
tournament is cursed between Penta and Seamus, Like what else
could go wrong here? And I already was not thrilled
with this bracket, Like Gunther and Javon last week that
was a lot of fun, as Gunther and carmel O
Hayes was tonight. But you look at this tournament so far,
there has not been a whole lot to get excited about.

(49:00):
All the talk about how we're gonna have people that
maybe don't even work for the company, you know, Okay,
they had Matt Cardona and they had Dolf Ziggler who
were promptly eliminated in the opening round from the tournament.
And for all to talk about how NXT talents will
also be eligible to be in this tournament, we had one.
We had one. I mean, look at this bracket. We

(49:20):
had one that was it, Like, of all the potential combinations,
of all the potential talents that you could have had
in this tournament, this was very low effort, Like they
didn't really put a whole lot of effort into this
tournament here, And it's a foregone conclusion of course that
Gunther is going to win this thing, especially now. I mean,
look at what we have here. Look at what we

(49:42):
have here. Let's just be honest here. Okay, we're getting
gun Thro against La Night or more likely gun Through
against jay Uso. That is going to be the finals
of this tournament. You need to tell me that gets
you excited. There's nothing exciting about this at all. So
the shoulder stuff is just insane to me. As I
said at the top of the review, I don't know

(50:04):
what's been going on this year with this company and
shoulder injuries from Seamus to Penta, to Rollins to live
and Gable but get well soon Penta. I don't know
exactly what the nature of the injury is. It could
have been a shoulder separation, it could be a dislocation.
Hopefully it's nothing more serious than that, but even something

(50:26):
like that, depending on the severity of it, you could
still be looking at months out of the ring. Hopefully
it's a day's in weeks thing and not a week's
in month's thing. Because we just had the announcement this
weekend at the Triple A show. We had literally had
a promo on the video wall after the main event
to set up the next Triple A main event on
December twentieth, that we were finally going to get a

(50:48):
reunion of the Lucha Bros. Penta and Ray Phoenix were
on screen hyping their magicains Dominic Mysterio in Elgrande Americano,
which is still scheduled for December twentieth, now is potentially
up and smoke that is very much up in the
air now, depending on the severity of the injuries. So
to make things even worse, the idea that now we

(51:10):
might be, you know, deprived of a Lucha Brothers reunion
for a while after we were supposed to get it,
you know, next month, it sucks. You know, It's just
a very shitty situation. So we'll wait and see what
the official update is on Penta. But this not that
the tournament was any great shakes to begin with. This
just took a tournament that was already very lackluster frankly,

(51:32):
and made it even worse. And there's nothing they could do.
I mean, the match is said, there's not well what
can they do now to like come up with something
more interesting? There's nothing they can do. Solo Sekella qualified
for the next round. He is moving on. We're getting
Gunther and Solo Soekela. There's nothing that we can do
about it other than just let's just get it over

(51:54):
with and who knows, maybe they'll go out there and
they'll have a better match than I'm expecting. It's tough
when you have heel against heel though, right, it's just
not the dynamic that you want in that situation. You
know it's not going to be what gun Through and
Penta would have been. So let's just get through it.
Let's just get to the finals and let's just get
this shit over with because I don't see any combination

(52:18):
of matches that's frankly between here and the end of
the tournament that is terribly enticing. And without giving anything away,
if you have not looked at the spoilers for SmackDown
coming up on Friday, and you're wondering, well, who's the replacement.
Who's the replacement for Seamus, you know, against the La
Knight in the next round. Don't get your hopes up,

(52:41):
is all I'm going to say. At backstage, Adam Pierce
told Maxine Duprie, the new women's Intercontinental champion, that more
women have called him about he should have just ended
it there. More women have called him than ever before.
More women have called him, he said about taking that
belt off off of her than any title he can remember. Well,

(53:02):
of course it's Maxine Duprie. Okay, all due respect to
Maxine Duprix. I am sure that there are women who
are licking their chops saying, oh man, now's my chance.
I could take this championship no problem. So he advised
her to focus and work hard, and Maxine said that
she would. She wanted to be the type of champion
that people could be proud of. She told Pierce that

(53:24):
she was going to call in Natalia, and Pierce said
that he loved it, and he shook her hand. So
then Ivy Nile, who has not been seen on this
show in literally months, just shows up randomly and approaches
Maxine and told her that the title is hers now.
The reason that Ivy Nile was even there is because

(53:46):
she had a match on main event against Thea Hale
from NXTA, so that's why she was there. So after
Ivy walked away, and there was no reaction, by the way,
when Ivy walked up to Maxine, I am legitimately certain
that more than half the audience did not even know
who this woman was, Like, there was no reaction whatsoever

(54:06):
when Ivy walked up to Maxine. Half of them knew
and didn't care because she's not pushed, and the other
half were probably like, who's that. That's sad. So Maxine
continues walking and she bumps into where cal Rodriguez and
Roxane Perez and they're talking some smack and Pierce comes
back and he says, is there a problem here? No problem?

(54:29):
After the heels left, Pierce said that Maxine might want
to call in Natalia right now. There was a Stephanie
Vquerre pre taped promo. Man, you talk about the promotion
and the build up for this match for that Women's
World Championship this weekend. Oo boy, this is awful. This

(54:50):
is as ice cold as it gets. I mean, there
was an awful segment last week. This week we got
the one pre tape there just there is no interest
or excitement whatsoever heading into that match this weekend. Hopefully
it's quick, it's one and done. There's no Twin magic

(55:13):
to kind of drag this out and prolong this and
have Stephanie have to win the belt back from Nicky Bella. Well, though,
again you can't discount twin magic. Twin magic is another
thing that was like fifteen years old. But I put
nothing past these people. But there was a pre tape
promo and Stephanie said that Nicky was clever, but she

(55:34):
wasn't as smart as she thought that she was. And
Vi Kieren knew all about Bella's history, but Bella didn't
know about hers. And if Nicky were as smart as
she pretended to be, she would know who she was
messing with. Stephanie said, are you sure you want to
get in the ring with me? There you go, that's
your last bit of promotion there for that championship match

(55:56):
this week. Well, look, I guess we need a buffer
of some kind right between the two Wars Games matches,
and you got a John Cena match in there. There's
got to be a come down match, so by default
that's what this match is and then the main event
was the man advantage match in War Games with the
Ussos against Drew McIntyre and Logan. Paul and the Heels

(56:19):
worked over Jay usso Logan knocked Jimmy off the apron
before he can make a tag. McIntyre chucked Jay over
the announced desk, which led to a second end commercial
or a second and final commercial break, and as McIntyre posed,
Jimmy threw a bottle of prime at him. Logan and
McIntyre they held up Jay and delayed vertical suit plex

(56:40):
position and they were flexing with their opposing arms while
they were doing so. Who among us has not done
that at some point or another in our lives? Right?
I used to do that all the time with my
little brother. I would pick him up and suit plex him,
and as I'm holding him up with one arm, I'd
be posing with the other arm. Man. That was back
in the day. That was back in my prime. That
was fun. So after this, he finally made the hot

(57:03):
tag to Jimmy, who hit Logan with an inziguri before
super kicking McIntyre off the apron. Jimmy had a dive
of sorts from the top for a two count. Logan
responded with a blockbuster, Jimmy ducked a punch. He followed
with a superkick, a spear and an USO splash. McIntyre, though,
broke up the cover. Jay and McIntyre they brawled outside

(57:23):
the ring as the Bronze arrived to check on Logan
see I'm punkin Cody Rhoads. They ran out to take
out bron Breaker and Bronz and Reid. As everyone was brawling,
Jay wiped out everybody with a big dive and Jimmy
was a little too busy celebrating, so Logan schoolboyed him
and he won the man advantage for Team Vision in Wargames.

(57:48):
Punk immediately attacked Logan and the brawl continued. Roman Reins
finally entered and he greeted the Bronze in the aisle
with Superman punches. Rains handed out Superman punches to Paul
and Drew McIntyre. The Baby Faces stood tall. They put
the closing credits and the copyright box on the screen
to throw you off. But if you've been watching the show,

(58:11):
then you would know that there was a certain someone
who had arrived at the building earlier. And there's no way,
this show is going off the air yet. So brock
Lesner's music hits and he enters with Paul Hayman and
he stops on the stage and he's doing his bouncy
pose that he does, and he throws his arms up

(58:32):
in the air to try to time it with the pyro,
and the pyro shoots off and as the pyro shoots off,
Rock slipped. He slipped at his cowboy boots. See this
is what Hulk Hogan was worried about when he came
out at Bash at the Beach in ninety six. He
was wearing cowboy boots and he was worried that he

(58:53):
might slip and fall on his ass. Thankfully that didn't happen.
I mean, you talk about ruining one of the biggest
moments to wrestle like his, That would have been embarrassing.
Brock slips and he does a complete backwards roll and
Paul Hayman. That's the funniest thing is Paul Hayman is
just standing there watching him as he's probably thinking to himself, like,
what the fuck are you doing? But he did a

(59:14):
complete roll through and he popped right back up to
his feet, and I just I nearly pissed myself laughing.
The best moment of the entire night right there, he
had his shock Master moment. This will live on forever
now the brock Master. The brock Master was that this
sounds like something you would sell at two o'clock in
the morning on QBC. We got the brock Master on sale,

(59:38):
just the three easy payments of forty nine to ninety nine. Anyway, Yes,
that tells you all you need to know about Raw
tonight outside of the gun through match. That the Brockmaster
was the best part of the entire show. But he
got up and he's laughing at himself because again, what
else are you supposed to do? And takes the cob

(01:00:00):
I had off. He marches down to the ringside area.
He joins his teammates. They all get up on the apron.
It was weird to see brock like with teammates, very
it's not his natural habitat. It was very strange. So
they get in the ring and the two teams started
gyan brawl, and that is how they go off the air.

(01:00:20):
The show faded to black. So as far as the
final Wargames build is concerned, you know, they gave you
the big brawl between the women's teams and the men's teams.
There was some little hints of dissension, at least on
the men's side. They try to, you know, highlight the
fact that these men don't like each other and they

(01:00:41):
may not get along and they may not trust each other.
It could be trust issues there. There's just certain people
in these matches, whether it's Cody or Logan, and you
could maybe point to a couple of others who just
feel very you know, shoehorned in there. And that's just
the way it is when you have to have five

(01:01:02):
on five because we can't have four on four, when
you have to find all these extra people. And Seth
Rollins getting hurt, of course, also fucked up a lot
of their plans because Seth would absolutely have been in
this match on Saturday as part of Team Vision, would
have been leading Team Vision. It's interesting, you know, if
Seth doesn't get hurt. I talked, I mentioned this on

(01:01:22):
TNT the other night last week. If Seth Rollins doesn't
get hurt, I think that we're looking at a very
different Wargames match. I think we're looking at a war
Games match that does not involve Cody Rose. We're looking
at a War Games match that does not involve Drew McIntyre.
I believe Meltzer's report that Austin Theory was going to

(01:01:43):
join the Vision, and I think Austin Theory would be
in there. You know, Dave said that lash Legend was
going to be in the women's match, and people were like, well,
lash Legend, where'd she come from? And sure enough, lash
Legend is in there. So I think we're looking at
a match potentially where maybe John Cena would have ended
up in War Games, rounding out the babyface side. More

(01:02:06):
likely La Knight I think would have ended up in
War Games. I think we would have had Cody, not Cody,
we would have had Punk Roman, the USO's in La Knight,
and on the other side you would have had Rollins, Breaker,
Reed Lesnar and Theory, and so it would have changed
the entire complexion of the match. Like one little injury,

(01:02:29):
how it can cascade and cause all these other changes
is pretty incredible. So that's probably a big part of
why it feels like certain people are shoehorned in there.
Logan Paul wouldn't have been in there. Logan Paul would
not have been in there, nor would Cody or Drew.
We have a totally different match now, but you do

(01:02:52):
have a lot of big names in there, and star
power can go a long way towards selling these types
of matches because people want to see stars, they want
to see big names. I've intrigued how it's gonna work
with brock Lesnar being in his first War Games match.
Do you have him start out for the Heels. I
wouldn't think so. But just the visual of Brock bouncing
around the little tiny cage with everybody else locked in

(01:03:12):
the locked in the cage in the aisle is It's
a weird visual for me to, you know, when I
think about what that is going to look like, because
I'm just not used to seeing him in that type
of match. But that was your final bit of Wargames
billed as far as Raw goes again, SmackDown was taped
last Friday. The spoilers are out there if you want

(01:03:33):
to read them. There was a Survivor Series elimination match
that they taped on Friday. It Solo Sokoa and the
MFTs against Sammy's am Shinskay Nakamore, Ray Phoenix and the
MotorCity machine guns, So those results are floating out there.
Just be aware. I'm not going to be live for
SmackDown on Friday. I will not be here, So I'll

(01:03:54):
be here Wednesday for the Dynamite post show coming out
of full gear, and then I'll be here for Saturday
Survivor Series the post show on Saturday night, but not
for SmackDown on Friday. Take a look at the Twitter
poll what did you think of Raw before Survivor Series
sixty one point three percent thumbs up for tonight's show
thirty eight point seven percent thumbs down, with almost one

(01:04:15):
thousand votes in so far. You can go vote at
Sola Monster on x if you want to also go
take a look at the Brockmaster image that I mocked up.
It is there for all of you to enjoy. The Brockmaster.
Over an hour into Raw and there's been one match

(01:04:37):
so far, says Ragnarok. It was a good match, but
come on, what are we doing here? They are in
full Survivor Series promotion mode, so they're not concerned about
matches on the go home show says it's just not
me right. This show was asked tonight best thing was

(01:04:58):
gun Through against Carmelo and an hour later JD against Ray.
I hope the main event finishes strong. Yeah, the main
event was a nothing match. Andre Israel, please solo make
that brock botch a super chat. We got the brock
Master baby Paul van Summer and says the Brockmaster, so

(01:05:22):
he knows where it's at. He knows where it's at.
Josh Worthington says, first Shamus and now Penta with the
injury bug? Who is next? Sina? Oh my god? Can
you imagine that? Is? That is catastrophic if that happens,

(01:05:43):
like God forbid, if John Cena goes in there and
gets hurt at Survivors here, can you even imagine? Like
what would they do? I mean, I guess Saturday Nights
Made event would just turn into a WWE against NXT showcase.
That would be the entire show. I mean, disaster does
not even begin to describe. Can you imagine all those

(01:06:03):
people paid like fucking three thousand dollars and five thousand
dollars to go to that show and then see it
gets hurt and they end up with a card full
of like they end up with a card of like
look at Tony DiAngelo against I don't know fucking JD
McDonogh and oh man, I mean the refund phone calls

(01:06:30):
would overwhelm and ticketmasters fucking switchboards sees, says Solemn Monster.
Do you think WWE can rebound creatively in twenty twenty six?
And WWE can rebound creatively anytime they want? They have

(01:06:51):
an army of writers, They've got the talent ready and
waiting to do what they're told. I certainly, I hope so.
But am I giving them the benefit of the doubt
and having faith in them? I'm not. But I sure
hope so, because you know, I got to watch these shows,
so I want them to be good. I want them

(01:07:12):
to be fun. I want them to be interesting. I
want them to be engaging. Makes my job harder when
they're not. Brandon Proctor, I had to rewatch that brock
fall several times. I was laughing so hard. I hope
the Penta injury is not anything serious, as do I
and Brandon. Thank you very much, sir for that thirty

(01:07:35):
dollars mentos super Chat. You're awesome, Happy Thanksgiving the sheltered Kid.
Has there ever been a wrestler that died while holding
a championship off the top of my head, I can't
think of any. I'm sure there must have been, but

(01:07:58):
off the top of my head, I can't think of that.
You know. The thing is, before he uh offed himself,
Ben wh I believe was supposed to win the ECW title.
I believe I think it was. I think he was
gonna beat CM Punk and become the e CW champion.

(01:08:20):
So they kind of dodged a bullet on that one.
But actively holding a championship at the time of their death,
I'm sure the answer is yes. I'm just I'm just
drawing a blank on who that would have been. The

(01:08:40):
real Vinnie Mack calling it now, one of the ussos
is taken out before war Games. They were replaced with
Randy Orton, who turns on Cody see you. Now that's
some of that creative thinking that I wish they had
on the main roster. That would be great. I have
no expectation that that's going to happen, but I think

(01:09:01):
that would be great. However, Randy Orton is being advertised
for the December fifth SmackDown, so that would indicate that
he is on his way back very soon. So let's
see what happens. Hey, guys, may even here. No, he

(01:09:23):
was not. He was going to win it, but he
was not the IC champion when he died. The Bossmo Jackson.
What's worse the brock slip or the tightest slide? See
you say worse? The tightest slide is fantastic, one of
the greatest moments in WWE history. It is still unmatched.

(01:09:49):
The fact that he literally slid under the ring like
that is unmatched, at least in WWA. Uh. The number
one will always be like if you made a Mount
Rushmore of it, The first face on Mount Rushmore will
forever be a shock Master. Ain't nothing beating the shock

(01:10:11):
Master falling through a wall and his helmet flying off.
There's nothing in the world that will ever beat that. Uh.
We have Extreme Man eighty five high solo. I was
at the show tonight. Okase was energetic and live. I
have not been to a show in years. I'm glad
I went tonight. Well, I'm glad you had fun. You

(01:10:33):
got to see a lot of big names, that's for sure.
Cody Road, Cmpunk, Roman Reigns, brock lesnar aj Lee, rar Ripley,
no John Cena though, no John Cena and Oka se
Bace bears. Even when Brock slips, he bounces up immediately

(01:10:57):
as he bounces back instantly. I love having the list here.
I still have your names the right way. It's only
in the chat that YouTube went and fucked everything up.
Sees in WWE, the women are way better than the men.

(01:11:21):
They have a very strong women's roster. I'm not prepared
to say that they're way better than the men, but yeah,
you give me Gunther on the men's side and EO
on the women's side, and you got yourself a hell
of a team right there. The Bossmo Jackson. To be honest,
I'm not surprised by Penta's injury. It was a gut

(01:11:41):
feeling for me. It sucks. I don't know. Sometimes he
makes me nervous. I love Penta. The injury bug sucks, ass,
Yes it does. Man, It fucking blows. It blows, so apparently,
Ja that's right. Jay Brisco was one half of the

(01:12:01):
Ring of Honor Tag team champions at the time that
he passed away. You know, the last match that the
Briscoes ever wrestled was actually in House of Glory, and
they lost the h Og tag team titles in that match,
so they did not have those titles anymore. This was

(01:12:21):
just you know, like the month before and and I
had the chance to call their their last match together
as a team, which is just insane to think about. Lee,
I had forgotten. I guess they would have been ROH
Tag Team champions at that time, That's right. And then

(01:12:42):
was it that Supercard of Honor or whatever the show
was in March. I think maybe they crowned new champions
in like a ladder match. I believe the Bostonmo Jackson
the Mento's theme brings back so many memories, dude. Every

(01:13:02):
now and then, like I'll go down the rabbit hole
on YouTube, they have all the old commercials on there,
including some European versions that I had never seen before
from other countries. But I watch a lot of the
old ones that used to air here in the States,
and that brings back memories. Like one of the more
ridiculous ones was I think somebody had a job interview

(01:13:22):
to go to and they, oh, that's what it was.
They were sitting on a park bench or just not
on a bench outside getting ready to go in for
a job interview, and they realized the bench had wet paint,
and they got paint on their suit and it's like,
oh no, I got paint on my suit, Like what
am I going to do? And it's like they pop

(01:13:43):
a Mentos and they're like, I got it, and they
lay on the bench and they kind of roll around
on the bench and now they have a pinstripe suit
and the guy looks at the painter, who's you know,
he's off painting another bench. And the painter's like this
guy like that that really corny look on his face.
That was one of the more ridiculous ones we got.

(01:14:11):
Nick Grosso says, any chance that jay Uso turns on
his team at wargames, because this jay Leno storyline has
has to be going somewhere. If not a heel turn
to become the monster that Roman created, then I don't
know where it goes. I heal jay Uso. I guess

(01:14:34):
you could do it. There is a story there though,
the monster that Roman created, But then that would build
to a WrestleMania match. So what are you doing? Are
you're building to Roman Reigns against jay Uso WRESTLEMANI I
don't want to see that. Brian Keith shock Master is

(01:14:58):
still the most graceful falling on his ass. Brock doesn't
even come close. Davy boy says he fell on his
f n ass. Now he says he fell on his arse.
He fell on his arse. Who is it in the backgrounder?
And it was Sid. It was Sid. You can hear

(01:15:18):
him in the background. I told you because I think
he said something before the segment, like there's like a
board on the bottom, He's gonna trip over the fucking board.
And he did. He's like, I told you, I told you.
Uh wink. The cosmic Grandma JD. McDonough has the best

(01:15:41):
Spanish fly in the biz. Or Ray is relieved his
neck did not get snapped. He's got a pretty good
standing Spanish fly. Sidrow, Oh he's he's here. A limbo

(01:16:01):
dancer married a locksmith. The wedding was low key, he says, yes,
I am high. No, I can't believe that the hell
you say your fingers have fingertips, but your toes don't

(01:16:24):
have toe tips. Yet you can tiptoe but not tip finger.
It's one of those questions in life. I just I
don't really have a good answer why that is that
is true though you cannot tip finger Bender mc simpson,

(01:16:45):
I always liked the idea of current top stars winning
mid card titles. Sting Flair, Roman and Sina won the
US Belt, Seth and Becky won the Intercontinental Belt. I mean, hell,
I'm sure Stinging Flair and some of those guys were
also TV champions at one point. All right, didn't Arn

(01:17:07):
Anderson I think have a run with a TV title
in certain situations? Yeah, I mean it's fine. Rick Flair
win the Intercontinental title in like two thousand and six.
Roddy Piper, what a moment that was. He had never

(01:17:29):
won a championship in WWE before he won the Intercontinental
title in ninety two, and then they used that as
a way for him to put Brett hard Over in
the biggest way possible at wrestle meane, See, that's where
you can really take a top name winning a mid
card title and use it to your advantage and use
it to help elevate somebody in a meaningful way. That
might be the best example of it. Honestly, Sidrow never

(01:17:58):
seen the movie Frozen. Someone to summarize it for me.
They looked at me funny and said, well, if I
summarize it, then it would be called melted suck. My
teacher told me not to worry about spelling because in

(01:18:18):
the future they will be auto correct, and for that
I am eternally grapefruit. Give me backshots, solomons or enjoy
the holiday solo. You know I love you. I could
tell by the name of you. I know you love me.
I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. No backshots on

(01:18:40):
the Thanksgiving table. Mactub Gus war not guarding Gail before.
Who do you like more? And why Between Peak Cina
and Triple H, Peak Sina and Peak Triple H. I mean,

(01:19:09):
to me, Peak Triple H was two thousand. I just
think that he was at his best in two thousand
into one before the first quad injury, and I just
think that he and Rock really carried that company in
two thousand. I think he had some great matches during
that year, and I just think he was a really

(01:19:31):
you know, he was a really good heel. So I'll
go with Peak Triple H. We got Boris with us,
the five dollars, super chat Hey solo. Watching Dominic I
keep wondering why he wouldn't put on some muscle. Is
it his in ring persona that works with this type

(01:19:53):
of build? It does? It works? Well with this type
of build, this chicken shit heel that he plays. You know,
some guys just you know they're they're not body guys.
You know, they don't want to bulk up too much.
You know, Swerve just came back from an injury in aw,
he looks like a fucking monster. Now, who's to say
that domb won't bulk up in a few years. Who's

(01:20:15):
to say he won't bulk up when he goes babyface?
You know, but not everybody who's going to have the
big physique. Yeah, because it also affects, you know, your
movement in the ring. Maybe he's more comfortable at this
weight that he's at. Everyone has their reasons. Super Pony

(01:20:39):
seven oh two. When did we get to the point
where every time someone gets injured people think it's a work.
You might say the Rollins thing, But when Ko got
injured earlier this year, people thought that was a work too.
Because people are afraid to be wrong, and I don't
know why, Like they can't be wrong. I think they

(01:21:00):
can't get me. I can't let them get me. So
it's like I'll just say, oh, it's a work, it's
probably a work, right, You're not gonna pull the wool
over my eyes. It's kind of silly, honestly, but I
think that has a lot to do with it. I
think people just they don't want to be gotten, so
they just assume everything is a work. So that way,

(01:21:20):
if it turns out to be a work, if it
turns out to be storyline, they could be like, oh,
I knew all along it was a work. Extreme Men
eighty five. That does remind me Solo, we did not
get a women's match, or we did not see the
World Tag Team Champions on the show. Yeah, you know,
we didn't get a women's match on Friday either. Not good.

(01:21:44):
We just had somebody in the super Chats a little
while ago proclaimed that the women in WWE are far
better than the men, and yet we just had back
to back shows where we didn't have a single women's match.
Jeremy Rose. Maybe Solo can get hurt during Survivor Series

(01:22:07):
match on Friday and Phoenix takes the spot. If they
wanted a gunther Penta style match, well, I mean, they
could probably argue that after the fact because Friday's already
been taped. But I suppose coming out of SmackDown they

(01:22:28):
could say, oh, you know, Solo suffered an injuries not
medically cleared, So Phoenix is going to take his brother's
be kind of unfair, though, I mean, just stick him
in there. You could do that. I don't think they're
going to, but I mean you could do that. Duff's
VID's with a nineteen ninety nine in the hospital for

(01:22:54):
testing to see if I can get on the heart
transplant list. Doing good. Glad for my VPN to protect
my device on public Wi Fi. More Jericho countdown sounds
during the p oh oh, dude. I thought this was
leading to a joke. Are you seriously in the hospital.
I'm so used to him dropping jokes. I thought this

(01:23:14):
was leading to a punchline. Holy shit. Well that sounds
very serious. I hope I hope all goes well. Sorry
to hear that, brother. Definitely use a VPN though, if
you're going to be on a public Wi Fi network
like that, but he said. More Jericho countdown sounds during

(01:23:38):
the pl promo. Another return surprise at the end of
Survivor series. I know, I don't. I don't see any
possibility of Jericho actually appearing. He's still under contract, so
there can be no appearances until a certain time. I

(01:23:59):
know you were or some people have mentioned that the
countdown noises, which I haven't noticed that I can't rule out.
It's always possible, but as far as an appearance, that's
not gonna happen. But again, keep me posting on all

(01:24:19):
that stuff that sounds scary, Sidrow, you missed the funniest part.
After the slip, Brock put his hat onto bron Breaker's
head like he was a hat rack. He walked off.
He didn't you know what he did? Put the hat
on someone's hat. I didn't even notice that it was
Bronk jeans, and I'm gonna wear them every week just

(01:24:42):
to piss you off. That makes it even better. I
didn't even notice that it was bron Breaker that he
put the hat on Duff's VIDs. Unless you did this
on the podcast? Who was starting both Wargames matches and
the order of who goes into the match for both? Yeah,
I didn't do the order. I don't know what the
order is gonna be. I mentioned Brock because I just

(01:25:04):
I don't know. I just don't see him hanging out
in the cage, but that that means he would have
to start. Do we really think Brock is going to
start war games and be in there for forty minutes.
Probably not so if I had to venture a guess
as far as who's starting, ah Man, you know, on
the on the heel side, I could see Logan Paul starting.

(01:25:33):
Now you know what I would say, Bronson Reid. I'll
say Bronson Reid starts and we get Cody On the
baby face side. Hey, guys, Maven here I bred a
bulldog and a shitsu called it bullshit. Very good, be

(01:26:01):
manned the champ with a five Canadian. What if Jimmy
gets taken out during the show? Surprise partner is Jacob
who attacks Cody? You revealing he was the one who
took out Jacob. Well, that would certainly be interesting, wouldn't it.
That'd be like when Jade attacked Naomi in the elimination
chamber earlier this year. But no, I don't think Jacob

(01:26:24):
is going to be medically cleared in times, so I
don't see that happening. Interesting idea the real Vinnie Mack
I predict that they don't do the shark cages this
year so everyone can have their grand fucking entrance. Dude,
They're gonna get their entrance and then they're just going
to go in the cage. They're still gonna get That

(01:26:47):
doesn't mean they're not going to get their entrances, Jenny,
Is there anyone with less aura than Talatanga? Yes, Tongaloa
and J. C. Matteo, Bass Bears, God of Seduction. Was

(01:27:13):
Keithley supposed to be a main eventor in WWA? He
had main event potential. I think a lot of people
expected him to eventually be in the main event. Was
he called up with the idea of being a main
eventor no, but you could tell like they had future
plans for him to be. Remember he wrestled I think
he beat right Randy Orton very early on when he

(01:27:34):
got called up, So they didn't call him up with
the intention I think of immediately, you know, utilizing him
in that way. But the idea would have been that,
you know, he would eventually get there. And you could
even tell from the interaction he had back in twenty
twenty when he was in the Rumble and he came
out and he was working with Rock there was a

(01:27:56):
Survivor series might have been I guess maybe it would
have been twenty nineteen. Remember there was a Survivor Series
match I remember him and Roman they shared a fist
bump at the end of it. There were hints and
again working with Orton, there were hints that they saw
him as a as a future headline attraction for them,

(01:28:17):
and it's just really really it's really really sad. It
just never worked out that way, and then his health
failed him, and yeah, it's it's too bad. It's one
of these It is one of those what ifs. But
then you know the bear cat thing, like he he
was done at that point. Once the bear cat thing

(01:28:39):
happened like that, that's it. It's over, checkmate, that's it.
Super pony favorite mismatch since you love him so much, lol,
What was the one where he was eaten by zombies?
There was a match he had for the inter Continental

(01:29:00):
title in twenty sixteen seventeen, somewhere around there. It was
a I want to say no mercy, but don't quote
me on that. It was definitely a pay per view
match with Dolve Ziegler that was really really good. He
was also part of a really good four way that
opened WrestleMania thirty four for the Intercontinental Championship. That actually

(01:29:22):
might be it. It might be that one we got
bland dried chicken instead of blood in wargames WW, we
should use buckets of dirt and mud in the ring
for both matches. That's the PG way to get color.
Why don't you just have a buried a live match
then bace Barris, buy or sell Seinfeld or curb your enthusiasm.

(01:29:50):
I love them both, but I mean Seinfeld is just iconic.
I gotta go Seinfeld Arabian Night. After that backstage segment
where Roman looks at both Punk and Cody's belts, got
a bad feeling. He's winning the rumble. Can't wait for

(01:30:11):
that build, shaking my head. Who else? Yeah? I mean,
you know, the man who's had what half a dozen
matches the last couple of years, is gonna go back
after the championships. I'm sorry that doesn't interest me at all.
Bass Bears, says Joseph Stewart. Lightning round loll. Shout out

(01:30:33):
to jose that's right, Shout out to Joseph. The real
Vinnie mack Brock put his hat on Braun, who looked
legit pissed. What's he gonna do? What is he gonna
do about it? He's gonna do nothing, That's what he's
gonna do, but I would imagine like in character, Yes,

(01:30:53):
bron Breaker would be pissed if somebody did that to him.
Gangle and clown. The Mento's theme is a banger, but
nothing beats the old corn Nuts bust the nut ad campaign.
This makes me think of The Ghostbusters as a song.

(01:31:15):
It says, you know, bustin makes me feel good. As
a kid, I didn't think anything of it, but you know,
you get older and things start to make more sense.
The real Viniemack imagine if seen it does get injured
and Vincent the President are sat in the crowd watching
some NXT jobbers that they've never heard of. Yeah, everything
you've just described sounds absolutely awful. The Mount Vernon kid

(01:31:37):
Christopher Bennett from the Bennett to yours. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy
Thanksgiving to you as well. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
Hopefully I will see many of you on Wednesday night.
Even if you don't watch a Dynamite. You'll hang out
with me on Thanksgiving Eve. We'll have some fun. But
if I don't get to see you again, I do

(01:31:58):
want to wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving. We got
some more super Chat. We're not done yet. We're not
done yet. Actually, And let me I hate the way
YouTube does things here because all the any any member

(01:32:20):
chats or in like a different window, and they don't
show up with the super chats, So I gotta go
somewhere else and I gotta see if they're here. Sheriff
of Patties earlier tonight, twenty nine months of membership aj styles.
Recent comments on selling have me asking, what's one thing
do you think is better these days? And one thing

(01:32:41):
other than selling that isn't. I mean, one thing that's
better these days would be the schedule. I mean the schedule.
If you go back and look at the schedule and
like the eighties into the early nineties in that company,
like it was inhumane. So the fact that the schedule,

(01:33:02):
which is still a grind, is a lot easier than
it was back then. The rings are not quite as
hard as they were back then. They were like the
old boxing rings back then. That's why a lot of
those guys broke their bodies wrestling. I mean they're taking
bumps on that ring every night. So those are just
some of the things that are better now. You know,

(01:33:24):
the wellness program and having certain you know, protocols in
place that didn't exist back in the day. So as
far as wrestler health and safety, there's a lot of
things that are better about wrestling or about the way
the company operates now as compared to how it would
have been twenty or thirty or forty years ago. And
I mean other than selling, I mean things that are
I mean, there's any number of things that were better

(01:33:46):
back then. I just think promos were better back then.
A lot of people don't know how to cut a
promo now. And I don't mean like going in front
of a camera and talking into the camera right or
remembering what it is that maybe was scripted for you.
That's fine, like anybody can do that, and you may

(01:34:09):
be good at it, you may be bad at it.
But promos now, as compared to how promos used to be,
are fucking terrible. Like my god, promos now are awful
compared to how go back and watch wrestling. And it
doesn't just have to be WWE, but go back and
watch wrestling all those years ago. Promos. I don't know

(01:34:31):
what happened somewhere along the way. Promos are not what
they used to be. Since it was in the news,
right Brett Hart was talking about it throwing a punch, right,
people don't know how to throw a punch. He's one
hundred percent right about that. I don't know why he
had a single out Shamus in his criticism, but you know,

(01:34:56):
he has no filter. He just says what was on
his mind. I mean, he had the about Seth Rollins
being unsafe to work with years ago that I'm sure broke.
Seth's hard because I think Brett was one of his favorites.
You know, Brett just it's no filter. He'll just say
how he honestly feels. But Seamus is not the first
person I would think of. There's a lot of people
who don't know how to throw a punch, like a

(01:35:17):
worked punch that looks good and looks realistic. They don't
know how to do it anymore. I don't know if
they just don't teach it. I don't know. I don't
know why it's so different now. It's so much worse
compared to how it used to be. But it is
these shows like SmackDown coming up soon having to be

(01:35:38):
three hours awful awful. No show should be three hours
week to week. It's a lot of things that were
better than as compared to now, and it goes both ways.
Did you see that Logan Paul had his promo written

(01:35:59):
on his hand? But yes I did. He had crib notes.
He had crib notes on his hand on SmackDown. Let
me see here we got VC with a member chat
forty two months. I believe that's Ragnarok brother solo. All
these damn might need to use of the might need

(01:36:23):
to use that code of yours. All the ads on RAW,
I tell you, man ExpressVPN dot com slash Solemn Monster,
you guys sign up for the full year and pay
for it, but you get four extra months free. I'm
using it every I use it every week at this point.
I use it for RAW, I use. I don't use
it for Dynamite because maybe I should, but I use

(01:36:48):
HBO Max when I watch. I don't think it works
the same way with that where you can watch through
the match the way you can with Raw and SmackDown.
So I don't use it on Wednesday's General, but I
use it on Mondays and Fridays. I use it for
security and privacy reasons as well, especially when I'm traveling,
so I endorse it. One dev to dust forty four

(01:37:15):
months of channel membership by sell or rent on the
best game winner in sports, walk off home run, buzzer beater,
three point shot, or game winning touchdown. I mean, they're
all exciting, but me personally, it's the walk off home run.
I'm a baseball guy, so for me, it's the walk

(01:37:36):
off home run. You didn't say the goal the goal
in the closing seconds of the hockey game. Let me
make sure there's no other member chats. Sorry, let's get
back to the super chats here, because we got a

(01:37:58):
bunch more that came in Arabian Night. La hasn't been
on RAW since he held up that sign. Yeah, he
probably pissed off the wrong people with that one. Wink
the cosmic Grandma. When it's all said and done, do

(01:38:20):
you see any current WWE guys not in their late
thirties and forties ending up in a Mount Rushmore or
Goat debate. I don't, and that's the problem Mount Rushmore.
I mean, there are people that I think will consider
Roman range because they relied on him in that top

(01:38:44):
spot for so many years, and because business boomed during
the Bloodline period and the Bloodline story. So you know,
Roman is not on my Mount Rushmore, and I don't
think he ever will be, but for some people you will.
You will have them placing Roman Reigns in that Mount
Rushmore conversation Cody, I don't see it. I don't see

(01:39:09):
it with Cody. I don't see it with Brock. I
don't see it with Drew Randy. So yeah, I mean
there's there's not a whole lot of names that I
see people really including in that debate. We have link

(01:39:31):
master X the seed has been planted for Brock against Braun.
I gotta go back now and check out this hat
wreck part of the segment Extreme Man eighty five solo.
I have a joke for you. The gym instructor asked me,
can you do the splits? And the instructor the instructor
said how flexible are you? And I said, I can't

(01:39:52):
make tuesdays. Not bad, you keep working at it, not
bad though, the Mount Vernon kidd, I would have laughed
my ass off if after Romans said that belt looks
better on me, Ciampunk said change your contract to full
time instead of part time. Yeah, I just I don't

(01:40:19):
have any interest in another Roman Reigns title run, especially
if he's got a severely part time schedule, just like
Brock or any of these guys logan like I have
no interest in it. I'm done with the part time bullshit,
with you know, putting titles on people and then they

(01:40:40):
don't show up, like there's nothing fun about that. That
makes the shows just unbelievably boring. I don't want to
see that, William Valencia. All I know is Brett was
not talking about Shane McMahon's punches. In fairness, I don't
know that Brett ever saw Shane McMahon thro punch. You

(01:41:01):
think he was watching the product at that time. And
Duff's VIDs HBO Max with Ads on sale two ninety
nine a month for a year until December first, So
there you go from Duff's VIDs. If you want HBO
Max with Ads at a discounted price. Yeah, you got

(01:41:23):
to keep your eye out because this week into the
beginning of next week you got these Black Friday deals
Cyber Monday. So if you're if you're looking to buy something,
I got a bunch of Macy's keep sending me these coupons.
They really want me to buy shit on Macy's dot com.

(01:41:44):
I got a good puffer jacket from there. A few
years ago. I got two hundred and fifty dollars Calvin
Klein puffer coat. I got it for like seventy five bucks. Man.
I wore the thing out of that until the fucking
feathers started coming out of it. But this is the
time you got to keep your eyes peeled and look

(01:42:04):
out for those deals. Hey, look, I've mentioned to you Audible,
I may as well mention it here. I mean, if
you look at the description down below, you'll see all
the sponsor links. But there's also the Audible link is
in there. Audibletrial dot com, slash solo Monster Brett Hard's
book just hit audible and audio form. He narrates it.
You can get the Brett book Gorilla Mond soon. There's

(01:42:27):
a book on his life and career that's coming out
December second in audio form. You can pre order it
for free right now if you use my link. I've
bought the Kindle version of it. I'm about to start it,
so I'm interested in getting into it. But take advantage
of that too if you want a free book, free

(01:42:48):
book on me, Super Pony miss against Giant gonzales Man.
We missed out. Oh yeah, sure, yeah, Arabian night, shaking
my head? Who else thought? Uh? Who else though? But
Roman or Randy winning the Royal Rumble. At one point

(01:43:10):
I was thinking Sammy's ain, but then they have gotten
completely away from that story about him wanting to win
the Big One and wanting to win the World Championship.
So I don't I don't see it. I don't see it.
But yeah, I mean, there aren't a lot of great
options right now. Extreme Man eighty five. I have a

(01:43:35):
new nickname for Cody. He is now the American Nike Will.
What do you think? No, he doesn't bore me. I mean,
he had a great promo on Friday. There are times
he'll come out and he'll cut a very kind of
milk toast, you know, babyface promo that sounds a little
too up his own ass. You know, we're a little

(01:43:56):
too corporate and not very interesting. Friday was one of
the better promos. Frankly, I think that he has cut
all year. And it was like two minutes, but you know,
he went down the line talking about each member of
the War Games match on the heel side, he had
all this fire, you know, in his belly, and they're
just a great fiery Babyface promo heading into Wargames. Honestly,

(01:44:21):
that would have been a great like final sell for Wargames,
but then they had another week to go of TV.
To me, that was like the perfect go home promo.
Your thoughts on CMLL having over thirty eight current active
championships as of now, I think that's very stupid, but

(01:44:43):
I don't watch cm so doesn't bother me if WWE
or AW had over thirty eight active Actually, at this point,
I'd be shocked. If AW doesn't end up with thirty
eight active championships, then I would tell you how stupid
it is. A dark one was up, man, it was
going on. Dark one, got dark wing. Duck over here,

(01:45:07):
zombified guitarist. Just watched Red versus Nemath at Super Clash.
Great to hear your call. That sent on out of
the ring by Red was great, dude. That's become a
staple of his matches. So I called that match not
this past weekend, but the previous Saturday, and almost lost

(01:45:28):
my voice calling that show. And then six days later
I flew to Chicago and called the Chicago show this
past Friday, and Red wrestled on that show against Tyler breeze,
and he did it again and he landed in like
the third row, and it never gets old. It's just
insane to see him flying around the ring like that

(01:45:50):
and then just with reckless abandon just launching himself out
of the ring into the crowd. So twice in one week,
I got to call that, and it never gets old.
Super Pony Triple H saw Sammy having great matches every
week with the US title and said, Nope, he doesn't

(01:46:13):
deserve a world title run. Sad. I think he'll get
it at some point, but I couldn't tell you when
it just seemed like things maybe we're setting up for
it for next year, But now it doesn't feel like
that at all. It's like theil. The trail has gone cold,
right looking for the killer, the trail has gone cold.

(01:46:37):
All right. We're currently sitting at four hundred and eighty
two likes, So since you hit the goal, that means
we got to be the booker. So let's do it,
ladies and gentlemen, It is now time to be the booker.
Why is every season re Odds season? Why is every

(01:47:03):
season sponsored? Every pl sponsored by Riad season? Because they
got a lot of money to burn that's why. All right,
here we go and we are starting be the booker
with a stipulation. What is this aaw choose two single

(01:47:26):
stars to form a makeshift team. Oh boy, we get
to form a makeshift team here and be the booker.
Look at this. We get to form a brand new
tag team. This could be anybody. This could be anybody.
We have the bad guy, Razor Remote. You talk about Aura,

(01:47:47):
people talk about Aura, Aura farming. Look at the Aura
on this guy. This is Aura Raisor Ramone And oh
my god, are you fucking kidding me? Are you kidding me?

(01:48:08):
Right now? That did not just happen. We land on
Scott Hall and we land on Kevin Nash. I mean, like,
it's just it's too perfect. It's too perfect. We had
to form a makeshift team. We have like two hundred
names in this thing, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Okay,

(01:48:30):
I'll tell you what. I don't know who they're wrestling,
but it doesn't matter. We already know who's winning the match.
We know this is getting a bell like I can't
I can't believe that just happened. I cannot believe that
just happened. Okay, Now, ordinarily I would give this a buzzer,
but I can't. I can't give this a buzzer. Man.

(01:48:53):
We landed on Scott Hall and Kevin Nash as a
makeshift tag team, So they're just gonna go in there
and they're gonna demolish the best friends Chuck Taylor and
Trent BURRETTA. Sorry, guys, you're eating a razor's edge and
you're eating a jackknife. Thanks for coming a makeshift team. Yes,
and we land on the out We get the outsiders.

(01:49:17):
It was just meant to be two minute squash in
and out. They got the beer on ice in the
locker room. All right, women's be the booker. We have
the former NXT Women's champion, Roxanne Perez. We got a
lot of Roxanne Perez fans in the chat. I know

(01:49:37):
that Roxy. Let's get a drum roll going Roxanne Perez
against Queen Zelina. Yeah, give him twelve minutes. Let him

(01:50:04):
go out there and just let it all hang out,
see what they could do, see what they could come
up with. Why not? I mean, they couldn't be bothered
to have any women's matches in the last two shows,
so you can surely give them some time here all
right now. It's made event time we have Saboo. Look

(01:50:30):
at this, he's ready for He would have fit in
perfectly at full gear the other day. He's got to
look at he's got the nail in his mouth, He's
got the chair wrapped in barbed wire. What is that
I said? I called it a nail? What is that
in his mouth? That looks like a giant spike? Saboo.

(01:50:51):
He would have thrived in blood and guts. What a
match we have, Saboo against Saboo. Oh boy, you talk

(01:51:14):
about blood. You thought you had an overload of blood
at full gear the other day. Wait until you see
Saboo against Saboo. I got I gotta pick a stipulation, though,
how can I not? We have to pick a stipulation
for Saboo against Saboo. What is going on here? Would

(01:51:37):
be the booker today. I don't know what the hell
is going on. There's something in the water, Saboo against Saboo,
anarchy in the arena. There will be blood, blood will
be spilled. Oh that's a sweep, little delay there. I

(01:52:02):
forgot that was a sweep. We got a clean sweep.
They're gonna have to slap a warning though like an
advisory on that match, it might be too extreme for
some audiences. Saboo against Saboo would fucking rule. It would be,

(01:52:23):
it would be something. It would be an all timer.
It would be an all timer. Drew mackincock is with
us thirty three months of membership. The four horsemen of
no Aura, Talatanga, TANGALOA, J. C. Matteo and Tamina. Yeah.

(01:52:48):
I mean if there was such a thing as negative aura,
then there it is right there. We should do a
list of all the people that have negative ora and
more is with us? What are we thinking about the

(01:53:10):
Continental Classic lineup? I have not yet gone through the
entire lineup. I know that during raw I guess they
announced what the participants are going to be in the
Blue League, in the Gold League. I know that Takeshta
is in one league. I think Moxley is in that league,
and then Okata is in the other league, and I

(01:53:32):
know Darby is in there. But I didn't go through
all of it. So I was curious though to see
who the name was going to be. And I would
know just by looking at it from the list who
the name is going to be that's going to end
up eating a lot of pins, and it looks like
Masca or Dorota is probably going to be that guy.

(01:53:55):
There's no Juice Robinson this year. There's no Beast morte
Jay Lethal Like, there's always someone at least one in
this tournament who's always eaten the pins, and from the
looks of it, I think Mascriderat is probably gonna be
that person. But I will talk more about the Continental
Classic lineup on the Dynamite Review on Wednesday. We'll hang

(01:54:19):
out there and talk about the talk about the participants
there once I have the full list in front of me.
Bobby means with a five. In my opinion, Raven and
Tommy Dreamer had the best rivalry in ECW for the
simple fact that Dreamer never beat Raven for three years.

(01:54:40):
I mean, I think it's pretty widely regarded as one
of the greatest rivalries in ECW history. So I don't
think that's a it's not like a hot take or
anything like that. I would tend to agree, But yeah,
I don't believe Kyle o'reiley is in there, right. I mean,
Tony Kahn said the other day and the post show

(01:55:01):
scrum that O'Reilly was likely not going to be in there.
He had some injuries coming out of the matter with
John Moxley at full Gear. I know Roderick Strong is
in there though, so I know Roddy is in there.
Negative Aura, Four Horsemen, Wheeler, Judah Tonga, Loa, Daniel Garcia

(01:55:22):
and j C. Matteo. Oh my god, what a group.
WWF run DMC Wheeler Uni versus j C. Mitteo would
be a dream match. Sure be a horrible dream. I'd

(01:55:43):
wake up in a cold sweat from that dream. Anyway,
I will see you guys back here live again on
Wednesday night. That will be for the Dynamite post show
thanks Giving Eve. But before then we have Tuesday Night
Titans over on JD's channel Tomorrow nights. We'll have a
lot to talk about there in terms of Full Gear

(01:56:03):
and Survivor series and whatever else is going on. And
then back here on Thanksgiving Eve. I do want to
take this time to just wish everybody as I will.
I'll mention this on Wednesday, but wish everybody a very
happy Thanksgiving later this week. I'm thankful as always for
all of you, And go back and check out episode
