Speaker 1 (00:00):
Greetings. We are here a little bit earlier than normal
tonight for your Raw review because Raw was in Birmingham, England.
They are in the middle of this international tour, a
lot of international shows going on. We just had a
show from London yesterday, the AW pay per view, and
tonight we have Raw and then we have SmackDown of
course on Friday, and then we have Clash in Paris,

(00:21):
which is coming up next Sunday. So this was the
go home Raw before Clash in Paris. Roman Reins was
on the show tonight, a rare appearance. He was here
to address one Bronson Reed. As it turned out, because
Bronton Reid came out. We had a little back and
forth between the two of them. Also, he got into
a conversation with Jay Uso later in the show and

(00:43):
tried to convince him that you know what, you need
to start looking out for yourself. So that was the
role that Roman played on the show tonight, and that
played out really after the main event, which was between
La Knight and bron Breaker, and things broke down when
the match was over with the challengers in the Fatal
four way on Sunday, seth Rollins is going to have

(01:04):
to defend his World Heavyweight championship against not one, not two,
but three men ce On, punk La Knight and Jay Usso,
and they are not getting along because they're all very stupid.
Instead of directing their focus to the one guy that
matters most, they are fighting amongst each other. That is
how Raw went off the air tonight. Certainly didn't do

(01:25):
anything to convince me that any of those three challengers
have any real shot of walking out of Paris as
the World heavyweight champion. But that's how they chose to
play things out here. I'll tell you what bothers me
more than anything else. Stephanie Vicaier was supposed to challenge
for the Women's World Championship on that show on Sunday,

(01:45):
and we all know what happened last week. Naomi, of course,
is pregnant. She is unable to defend her title, so
she vacated it. We have no Women's World champion, and
they had an entire week to think about what they
were going to do. What was the solution going to
be to the problem, because Stephanie has this guaranteed title
match in Paris, and as we found out here on

(02:05):
this show, the solution is that there will be no
Women's World Championship match in Paris because Adam Pierce needs
another week. He's not quite ready yet. He's got a
name in mind, and he wouldn't tell Stephanie who the
name was, but we got a wait a week. He's
trying to make the deal, he's trying to make it official,
and then next week he will try to let her

(02:27):
know not only who her opponent is going to be,
but when the match will be taking place. So what
they have done here is they have removed this match
now completely from the show in favor it looks like
of having Nikki Bella challenging Becky Lynch because that is
now the one women's match on the show on Sunday
that will be for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. So they

(02:48):
have delayed this now until September. One of the matches
I was genuinely looking forward to seeing on the show. Really,
I mean, Stephanie against anybody, But like, is this really
that hard? Hard? Like Eo Sky is right there. I've
talked about this for two weeks now. All you needed
to do was say, you know what Eo is Ota shot.

(03:10):
She didn't get it, Stephanie, I know, Eurota shot. You
want to battle Royal to get this shot? EO, Stephanie Paris.
Let him go out there and tear it up. That's
all you needed to do. So now they've just completely
bumped the match from the card all together, and we're
gonna have to wait to see what they come but
it's probably gonna be some convoluted bullshit that they come
up with. But I'm like, it's staring you right in
the fucking face, and maybe it'll end up being EO

(03:32):
and Stephanie and they just wanted to delay it and
have it on another show anyway, that's also possible, but
I don't know. I mean, the fact that they now
need another week to come up with what it is
that they are going to do does not give me
a lot of hope. So there goes one match I
was looking forward to on that show. Speaking of Eosky,
the drama continues with her and the Kabuki Warriors, really

(03:56):
her and Oscar on the show. As the days of
our Live ticked down. You know these segments where Kyrie
saying gets very overly emotional. Here she's torn between two
friends and doesn't know what to do. It's all very melodramatic,
and it reached a peak tonight in terms of the
over dramatization of what they're trying to do here. This

(04:18):
was your standard run of the mill episode of Raw.
You know, when they go overseas and you get these
usually very lively, very energetic crowds, you know, they could
help lift the show or they become part of the show.
And I'm not saying that the people in Birmingham were
not you know, happy to be there and that they
weren't loud for parts of the show. But even with

(04:40):
that UK crowded is it felt like your standard run
of the mill episode of Raw. Where the problem they've
run into now for me anyway, is that so many
of these episodes they just sort of blend together. There's
just the sameness to it that seems to be getting worse.
And you know, I mentioned like the first half of
the show, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. It almost

(05:02):
put me to sleep. It got a little bit better
in the second half, but it was just your standard
run of the mill edition of Raw, where there's just
this repetition to it that is just maddening sometimes where
I feel like I'm watching the same exact show every
single week. You know, I'm looking at this and I'm like,

(05:23):
have an NXT showcase match on the show each week.
You do it on SmackDown too if you want to,
but like, have an NXT showcase, like something different, something
that could try to liven things up a little bit,
get some new faces featured on the show, and who knows,
you know, you don't just have to do matches for
the sake of matches. Maybe it leads to something. I
don't know, but like something, anything, anything, please, because these

(05:49):
shows have run into this issue now for quite some time,
and even when they go international, nothing really seems to change.
SmackDown is bad enough on most weeks, and I feel
like Raw is not that bad me. I'm not gonna
say Raw it's at the level of SmackDown. But sometimes
it could be worse, you know, to have a show
that just isn't very interesting or isn't very exciting, it's

(06:11):
just sort of there, especially when you're six days away
from this pl they have coming up. I can't say
that what they did on this show did anything to
really make me more excited. Whereas, for example, the John
Cena Logan Paul segment on SmackDown Friday night. That was
the highlight of the night. That actually did make me
more interested in seeing John Cena against Logan Paul. See,

(06:32):
that's an example of them doing something toward with an
eye towards the ple that actually worked, you know, worked
for me. There was nothing like that on the show tonight.
Now there is some news I mentioned on the stream
last week that some people had and I think PW
Insider talked about this as well. Somebody had picked up
on the fact that people who had tickets to some

(06:54):
of the episodes of Raw coming up in September were
alerted that the stark times or like the arrival times
on their tickets were bumped up by an hour. And
I said, it could be a sign of something. It
could be a sign that Raw maybe is going to
go a little bit earlier in September. It could be
a sign of nothing at all. Well, now we have
a little more news. It looks like there is smoke

(07:16):
to the fire, Pert PW Insider. It appears that there
are three episodes, at least three episodes of Raw coming
up in the month of September that are listed for
a six thirty pm local start time. In checking the
Netflix listings for those episodes now lists RAW as starting

(07:37):
at seven pm Eastern, So that is the September fifteenth
Raw in Springfield, Massachusetts, the September twenty second RAW in Evansville, Indiana,
and the September twenty ninth RAW in Raleigh, North Carolina.
So it appears that RAW is going to be going
on the air an hour earlier each of those weeks,
and it just so happens to coincide with the beginning

(07:58):
of the NFL season. So I don't know if you
could draw a straight line from one to the other,
it might have something to do with it. I don't
know if that's going to bleed over into October, but
at least for those episodes in the month of September,
we're gonna get RAW an hour earlier. Just fine with me.
I get to go live an hour earlier on my end,
so I'm okay with it. This is your Raw on

(08:19):
Netflix review. It is Monday night, August twenty fifth. I
guess this is the final Row for the month of
August twenty twenty five. I am the Solomn Monster. Thank
you for joining me hanging out with me here. I
know it's a different time. Not everybody's here, but thank
you for being with me. Hit that subscribe button, hit
that like button. Super chats are open, and I want

(08:40):
to say thank you to everybody who joined me for
the Forbidden Door review last night, which was very eventful
given everything that was going on here and me going
back and forth with my little pest issue. Was a
very interesting review to be sure, but if you missed,
you can go back and check out all the highjinks.

(09:02):
And the audio is up as well for those of
you who would prefer the audio version. Now let's get
into this raw show here, let's tackle this. He will
even have Uncle Saudi is joining us for the review.
Roman Reigns. He was up first. He came out to

(09:22):
the ring by himself. The crowd. Of course, they're in England,
they have to sing, so they sang his name European style.
Rains looked into the camera and said they love me.
He told the crowd to acknowledge him. That led to
a round of otc chance. He said it felt like
old times, said that he has big plans not only

(09:43):
for tonight but which he really didn't, but for the
rest of the year and next year as well. He
said that he had to be honest with himself. He said.
The fans acknowledged him, but there was something that he
needed to acknowledge in order to move forward. He said,
it's not old times anymore. Said that he's not the
same guy he used to be, and the fans started chanting,

(10:04):
yes you are, and then he said, well, maybe I
can be. But he said Cody Rhoades predicted it about
a year and a half ago, and when he mentioned
Cody Rhodes, there were noticeable booze from not the entire crowd,
but they were noticeable enough. The boo birds were out
for Cody, and Roman looked surprised and he said interesting.

(10:27):
Then he mentioned the vision and Seth Rollins that also
got booed. He said they followed through with what Cody
said by taking everything from him, so there was a
censored fuck you Rollin's chant that broke out. Roman smiled
and said that he's felt that way for a long time.
So Roman said he no longer has the bloodline. After

(10:48):
the crowd chanted yeat, he said, look, I'm proud of
j proud of him. He's proud of his cousin. People
complaining about Jay being in the world title match a
clash in Paris instead of him. He pointed out that
Jay was the one who got the winning fall in
their tag team match at SummerSlam. That and he said,
he has his rematch clause, so he deserves to be
in this match for the World Heavyweight Championship. So they

(11:11):
are still doing this rematch clause bullshit. I thought they
had done away with it, you know, like some people
might get a rematch every now and then, but it
wasn't like an official thing. But he talked about it
here like it's an official thing. I thought we were
done with this, thought we were done with the automatic
rematch stuff. So the Vision took his bloodline, they took

(11:32):
his wise men, and they took his titles. They ran
out of things to take, so they had to find
something else. And that was he was about to bring
up Bronson Reid. Paul Hayman interrupted. He walked out with
Bronson Reid, who had the Shulafalla around his neck. Reid
also wore he has a new Tribal Thief T shirt.

(11:52):
They're getting better at this. They've gone through these periods
before where something catches on every the RKO out of
no where craze. They took them months months. All those
memes and everything, it was like a big thing for
a while, and it took them months to get a
T shirt up for him. It's like, why why would
it take this long? Like, you guys have the resources

(12:13):
to shit this stuff out a week later, it took
the months. They're getting better at this. Uh so it
says tribal thief. It's got a pair of sneakers stepping
on the text. Anyway, that's your new Bronson red T shirt.
So he's out there. The shoe Lafalla is draped around
his neck. Hayman called read the realist gangster to hit

(12:33):
Birmingham since the Peaky Blinders. Hamon said, it's been five
years since brock Lesner's wise Man chose Roman reigns. It
changed the entire industry together. Roman was all alone now,
but Haman missed him. Hamon loved him five years ago
and he loves him now. Fans sang Roman's name, so

(12:54):
Haman's Hayman instead started singing but with Bronson Reid's name,
and I can tell you that it did not catch on.
This did not go very well. Hayman did not want
to disrespect Roman, but what Roman needed was tough love.
He said he wasn't mad enough to beat the tough
love into him, but Bronson Reed was. Rains replied, hey,

(13:17):
dumb ass, on Sunday in Paris, you can kiss my
ass because I'm going to whoop that ass. He might
have said I'm gonna whoop his ass, but I think
whooped that ass actually sounds better. Rain's called Hayman a
dumb ass because Hayman would kiss his ass after he
kicked Reed's ass. Reed gave Rains a history lesson. He said,
Romans tribe from Samoa is civilized, but his isn't. Reed's

(13:44):
tribe was exiled to Australia. Roman's tattoos were all paid for,
but Reeds were earned. Reed said that he was the
Samoan that Roman's dad and uncle warned him about, and
he was about to find out why. And Roman responded,
hold up this guy samoan, so he said, that means
your ass belongs to me. Crab pop for that one,

(14:07):
Rains invited him to the ring to return his shoes,
apologize to the fans, and acknowledge him. Reid turned him down.
Roman said, well, if you're not going to come up here,
then I guess I got to go down there, and
so he left the ring. They met in the aisle,
they started brawling. Security got between them, Reid broke through
and they ended up in the ring. Reid squashed everyone

(14:27):
in the corner and he went up for the tsunami splash.
People were trying to stop him. Rains popped up though,
caught him with a Superman punch, so we never did
get that tsunami. Rains went after Reid again outside the ring.
They got held back by security. There was really nothing
wrong with this segment other than we were twenty seven

(14:48):
minutes into this show. When this segment was over, almost
half an hour had gone by. I mean, it was good,
it wasn't that good. It wasn't twenty seven minutes good.
The hell are we doing here? They didn't need twenty
seven minutes for this. Otherwise, it was good to see

(15:09):
Bronson Reid get some promo time in the absence of
seth Rollins. He wasn't out there, bron Breaker wasn't out there.
I mean, Hayman spoke for a little bit, but I
don't know. We don't get to see Bronson Reid getting
that one on one promo time very often and he's good,
so it was good to see him get that chance.
And you know, Roman got a few good lines in there,
and that was it. It was pretty straightforward stuff. This

(15:31):
match is about Bronson Red disrespecting him and stealing his shoes.
There really isn't much more to this story than that
he's working for Paul Hayman. Paul Hayman used to be
Romans wise Men, the Vision and Seth Rollins. They've been
a thorn in Roman's side for years, I mean, let
alone since WrestleMania. And so he's gonna get his revenge
on one of Seth's boys and try to get his

(15:52):
shoes back. That's it. That's the story going into Sunday. So,
like last week, Finn Balor was unable to find Dominic Mysterio.
He's looking for him. He doesn't know where dom is
and at that moment he happened to bump into dom
who was speaking to El Grande Americano. Baler asked him, Oh,

(16:12):
what's up, what's going on? Dom said, don't worry about it.
I'll join you guys later. So that led into Dragon
Lee going one on one with JD McDonough, who had
Finn Balor in his corner. It's Grande Kaiser, the speed champion.
Has Kaiser defended the speed time. I mean, I know
when El Grande Americana won the belt, it was Gable.

(16:36):
Has Kaiser defended the title in Gable's absence. I did
not watch speed. Speed is not a thing anymore by
the way speed is done. They are not getting rid
of the speed titles. I did see that on the NXT.
Maybe at heat Wave they mentioned at least with the
women's I imagine the men's would be the same thing,
I would think, But the women's speed title, I guess,

(16:59):
is going to be defended in from what I understand,
maybe the men's speed title will be defended on Raw
and SmackDown, so they're not getting rid of those belts
even though speed no longer exists. I guess those matches
will only be three minutes. Max Baler got ejected from
ringside very early in this match, and it was a

(17:21):
rare thing where the fans actually booed the heel being ejected.
McDonough took control as they went to commercial break. Ninety
seconds into this match, Dragon Lee made a comeback. As
they came back, Lee had a snap German poison. Rana
McDonogh came back with a Spanish fly for two. Lee
followed later with a lagerbomb for a near fall. My

(17:43):
Netflix feed, and I know I wasn't the only one,
but my Netflix feed at this point began to glitch out.
It was very choppy. This went on for a few minutes.
It resolved just in time for the finish. Dom tried
to interfere in the match. Aj Styles ran out to
attack him, chased him off. Corey Grave, by the way,
he called aj Styles the hater of the Year because

(18:06):
this is now the second time that he has traveled
overseas to attack someone. Lee then hit McDonough with Operation
Dragon and picked up the win. What we got to
see here, between the ads and the glitching and everything,
it was actually only about five minutes. We got five
minutes worth of what we were actually able to see

(18:28):
those five minutes they were good. It was a good
five minutes. It was also I should point out Dragon
Lee's first singles win since November of last year. Jackie
Redman interviewed La Knight in what appeared to be a restaurant,
an empty restaurant inside the venue somewhere. Knight wondered whether

(18:52):
c Impunk hitting him last week was intentional or accidental.
Knight said Punk shrugged his shoulders after he hit him
and didn't help him. And he said Punk wanted everybody
to work together, but that can't happen now. And he
said Punk is a hungry man. He said, it's feast
or famine on Sunday and the rations are limited. Who
came up with that line, it's feast or famine and

(19:16):
the rations are limited? What was that line that Jim
Knightheart had before the Canadian Stampede ten man tag, Oh,
We're gonna get really hungry and forget our manners. It's
like that still lives rent free. In my head, I'm
gonna get really hungry and forget my manners. This wasn't

(19:38):
as bad as that. So he said that he found
it very convenient that he was the only one from
the Fatal four way coming up on Sunday who actually
had to wrestle a match tonight, and he planned on
smacking Bronze Breaker. Back to factory settings the judgment, they

(19:59):
yet again met stage. You know, Roxanne Perez did just
an interview with Chris van vliet. I did not watch
the entire thing. What I saw of it was was
very interesting. But she did make a comment in there,
and it's very apparent when you watch these shows. You know,
whatever you think of the Judgment Day now, whether or not,
it's a good thing when somebody is added to the

(20:19):
Judgment Day, I look at it as a great thing
if you are fortunate enough to be added to the
Judgment Day, as Roxanne was, because the Judgment Day, she
pointed out even in the interview, like you don't realize
until you're in it, how many segments on the show
that you have. And this is the case. Every single week,
the Judgment Day has multiple segments more than the vision,

(20:42):
which is the top heel faction on the brand. Multiple
segments on the show every single week. I would say
typically they have a minimum of three backstage segments, maybe four,
and at least one match, maybe two, you know, one
with the men when the women, they get a lot
of real estate on television. So if you are in

(21:04):
the Judgment Day, I mean, that's a great thing. That's
what you want. You know, you want to maximize your
minutes on television as much as possible. And if that's
what you want, then the best thing to do is
to hope and pray or pitch that they put you
in the Judgment Day because I don't. I can't remember
a faction or recent memory that got as much television
time on these shows as they do. I mean, the

(21:25):
bloodline on SmackDown, when the bloodline was really rocking, not
this shell of the bloodline that they have now. But
on Raw it's the Judgment Day. I mean, they're all
over the place. So anyway, as this was going on here,
Raquel Rodriguez stopped an argument that broke out between Dom

(21:45):
and Balor. Balor thought Dom had mcdone his back. What
happened out there? Dom said, Balor has known AJ styles
the longest. Then he suggested, why don't you deal with him?
You know him more than I do, so Baalor glared
at him and said, fine, I'll talk to Adam Pearson.
I'll deal with AJ myself. After this, we had Penta

(22:07):
against Kofi Kingston. The New Day continued to wear All Black.
They are still in mourning over losing their tag team title,
which was months ago at this point. I mean, I
understand they're very upset about losing their tag team titles,
but you know, one can't grief forever, so Woods wore
a black neck brace. He had a black cane. Grayson
Waller had Corey Graves signed a petition to try to

(22:28):
have the Mexican destroyer band Penta set up for a
flip dive. Early in the match, Kingston sprinted away up
the aisle that took us into a commercial. Kingston took
control during the break. He gave Penta a back body
drop onto the announced desk, and it took Penta a
full nine seconds to make it back into the ring,
barely in the nick of time, and as Penta made

(22:50):
his comeback, Michael Cole said that it would be embarrassing
if The New Day lost to him for the second
straight week. Oh I don't know. I mean, I don't
consider it embarrassing if you lose to Penta. Evidently they do.
They traded moves that led to Penta going for a destroyer.
Kingston countered out of it with a back body drop.

(23:11):
Kingston followed with a famous serve for two. Penta botched
Irana attempt off the rope, so he hit a superplex
that brought Kofee down to the mat instead. Penta followed
with a Penta driver Kofe kicked out, kicked out of
a Penta driver, possibly the first man to do so
in WWE. Penta kick Waller in the face and his

(23:34):
papers went flying before hitting Kingston and Woods with a
flip dive. Penta went to the ropes for a destroyer attempt,
but he got distracted by Grayson Waller. Kingston then tripped
Penta off the ropes and hit the trouble in Paradise
and Penta just sort of slowly crumbled to the mat.

(23:54):
Kofe covers him and he pins Penta and the crowd groaned,
and so did I. Now I understand that Kofi Kingston
was WWE champion for six months. I do remember that.
I remember when Kofe mania was a thing. It's been
a while though, since that was the case. And then

(24:17):
he got sent back to Tag Team Hell. And the
fact that Penta is on this show and he's losing
matches now to the New Day, that is not a
great look for Penta. But I'll tell you what you know,
since Penta, this is the best they could come up
with for him. Since Penta is embroiled here in a
feud with the New Day, it would seem to me

(24:37):
that the numbers advantage is on the New Day side, right,
you got two members of the New Day plus Grayson Waller,
whatever the hell he's supposed to be. I don't know
if he's an official member or not. It's three on one.
Penta could use a little bit of help, and I
can think of someone who so happens to not be
doing a whole hell of a lot right now over
on the other show. In fact, the last time we
saw Ray Phoenix was the TLC match at Summerslim, which

(24:59):
was the very beginning of the month. August is almost over.
We haven't seen him and Andrade as a team since then.
And it would seem to me that if Penton needs help,
the person that you would call upon would be your blood.
It would be your brother. And since when did somebody
being on the other show seem to matter? It doesn't
really matter. So would it not make more sense for

(25:23):
Penta to call upon Ray Phoenix to join him on
Monday Night Raw and then you could have a proper
match and a proper feud between the New Day and
the Luca brothers. That would seem to make sense to me.
I hope that's the direction they're going in. Here. There's
just the thought. They certainly have given no indication of that,

(25:43):
but that's what I would do, just put them back together.
When you get to a point where Penta is now
losing matches to you know, Kofi Kingston, and I mean,
it's like it's time to call Ray Phoenix and move
him over. The time has come the Penta singles push.
It was going okay there for a little bit, but

(26:03):
I think the time has come to get the Lucha
Bros back together now, eo Sky. She approached Rio Ripley backstage.
She was stretching ahead of her upcoming match with Roxane Perez.
You're making too much sense. Well, you know, I do
that sometimes I kind of I forget. I know, I
forget we're talking about pro wrestling. You can't make too

(26:25):
much sense. That's not always a good thing. Eosky approached
Rhea in the back. She thanked her for having her
back last week. She respects Rhea, but Oscar and Kyrie
are her family and they didn't like that Ripley got
in her business. So we should probably keep our distance
for a while now. Oscar and Kyrie. If you looked

(26:48):
in the background during this segment, they were in the
background kind of just watching, like lurking in the shadows,
and Ripley said she understood and she was to go leave.
Eo grabbed her and pulled her back in for a hug,
and in the background you could see Oskages lost her
shit and stormed off. We got a video package after

(27:13):
this recapping the events of last week where Naomi came
out and announced that she's pregnant and she vacated the
Women's World Championship. So now we come backstage live. Adam
Pierce is with Stephanie Viccier. Now, Adam Pierce has had
an entire week two mull over what he is going
to do about this women's world title situation, because we
already had a match that was advertised for Paris without

(27:38):
even knowing necessarily who the champion was going to be.
But you knew that Stephanie, by winning that Battle Royal
at Evolution, was guaranteed a Women's world title match in Paris.
In front of that what I'm sure is going to
be a hot crowd, that hot international crowd coming up
on Sunday. It's kind of odd. I haven't seen any
from wrestle Tics or anywhere. I haven't seen any up

(28:00):
about tickets for this show. It's an indoor arena, but
it's a bigger building where you could fit thirty or
forty thousand people in there. And I have no idea
how many people they're gonna have in there. They're gonna
have a decent number. I'm sure let's even say twenty
five thousand, right, you can have twenty five thousand hot
fans there in France. Oh my god, you remember that

(28:20):
crowd in Leone last year for Backlash. I'm sure Stephanie
was very much looking forward to challenging for the women's
World Championship on that show. Too bad because the match
is off. The big announcement tonight is that Adam Pierce said,
I'm not quite ready to announce who your opponent is
going to be. And Stephanie, of course, was bummed about this.
He said, but I promise you I've got a name

(28:43):
in mind, I've got an idea. I just need another
week to make it happen, and then I will be
able to let you know not only who your opponent
is going to be, but when the match will be
taking place. And Stephanie said that she understood and that
she would be ready. Well, that's pretty fucking lame. That

(29:03):
was legitimately not that there's so many matches in the car,
but that was legitimately one of the matches I was
looking forward to, like actually looking forward to seeing Stephanie
against anybody on the show on Sunday, And now that's
not happening. As I said earlier, just make it Stephanie
and Io. I mean, that's all you need to do.

(29:23):
That's all you need to do. You want to throw
Rock sand in there because Rock San Pindeo make it
a triple threat. Fine, but what they're I mean, there's
any number of things they could end up doing here.
I mean, they could have a big multi person match
and then the winner ends up being in the spot.
They could turn the title match into a multi person match,
which would be very unfair to Stephanie, but they could

(29:46):
always do that. I'm sure they're going to want to
get Ryo Ripley on that show in some way. She
may well end up in that match, and Eo and Oscar.
It would just throw everybody in there. Like, I don't
know why they need another week here other than they
decided we're already gonna have another women's match on the show,
and we're gonna save this now? Are they gonna save
it for TV? Are they going to save it for

(30:09):
Russell Palooza, in which case we'll go another month without
crowning a women's world champion. I don't know, but if
you were wondering what the big solution was they came
up with here, they didn't. And we are no closer
to a women's championship match today than we were previously.

(30:31):
The women's Intercontinental Champion. She'll be on the show on Sunday,
Becky Lynch. She made her way out to the ring.
Becky said it seemed like she received a mixed response
when she came out here. She said the fans can
boo her, but she wants them to know that Birmingham
was a part of her journey. She said that she
recalled having her WWE try out here in this city.

(30:55):
It was a dump then and it's a dump now,
and they all started booing. She mentioned that Nicki Bella
was supposed to call her out. She says, I'm not
a dog. Nicki Bella made her entrance. Nicki asked, if
you're not a dog, then why are you acting like
a little bitch? And everybody react. Everybody reacted to that line.

(31:16):
Nicki asked about getting a title shot, and Becky said
that she doesn't just hand them out to anybody, especially
not a broke neck Barbie. Nicki entered the ring and
Becky said, Nicki and the Better Twin, if you ask me, no, no, no,
no no, I don't concur on that, but you and

(31:37):
the Better Twin, according to her, revolutionize the women's division. Yes,
they tell us this every single week. I think this
is like a mandatory, obligatory line that has to be
in the script every time Nicki Bella has a segment
on the show. If Nicki herself doesn't say it, somebody
has to go out of their way to talk about

(31:57):
how Nicki revolutionized women's wrestling, how she revolutionized the Bella
Twins revolutionized because I feel like every time they're out there,
we hear that every single time. So Becky Lynch was
sure to point that out here in this segment, revolutionized
the division, and Becky said that she never wanted to
respect Nicki, she wanted to replace her. Nicki said that

(32:20):
Becky wanted to replace her because she's afraid to face her,
and she said that she remembered Becky being Charlotte Flair's
little sidekick. Becky took issue with that, and then she
boasted about being the best women's wrestler. Nicki said that
Becky has become desperate, and she asked if the man
has lost her balls, and Becky said, I have balls.

(32:43):
Nicki said that she might be a champion, but she's
also another Sea word. A coward called her a coward.
Becky says, coward is much worse than the other Sea words.
She thought Nicki was going to say. Becky says that
they'll have the match in Paris because she's not wrestling
in Birmingham. The only good thing that came out of

(33:05):
here died a month ago, and in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne,
he had the good sense to move to Los Angeles,
a proper city, because if she lived in Birmingham, I
would die too. That is what This wasn't quite Big
boss Men levels of depravity and heat here, but it

(33:28):
did remind me of that one line in The Boss
Man's poem to the Big Show when the Big Show's
father in storyline had died. He had passed away of
cancer and Big boss Man was out there with a
special greeting card for the Big Show, and if I
remember correctly, I believe the closing line of that card was,

(33:49):
if I had a son as stupid as you, I'd
have wished for cancer, so I would die too. That
was the line that the boss Man threw out there.
This wasn't quite as harsh as that, but it did
kind of remind me of that. Nicki said that Becky
knows that no matter how hard Becky tries, her name
will never be as big as Bella. That's what she said.

(34:15):
That's what she said. Nicki grabbed the belt, held it
up while she talked about becoming the new Intercontinental champion.
Becky threw a kick at Nicki, who caught her foot
knocked her down. Nicki was able to evade a man
handle slam attempt, and then Becky was able to evade
a rack attack two point zero attempt. Michael, I know, yes,

(34:37):
he said that greeting card was very It was very heartfelt.
It was a very heartfelt, a very heartfelt card that
the Bible. I mean, it brought a tear to my
eye that night when I heard it for the first time.
You know, it's funny how Nicki Bella came out here
and one of the first things she did was she

(34:59):
accused Becky taking the low road in resorting to cheap insults.
Nicki Bella was the one who came out here and
the first thing she did was call Becky Lynch a bitch.
She called her a bitch and then she accused her
of not having any balls. Who's the one taking the

(35:20):
low road here? But this was a fine smack talk segment.
Both women, I thought held their own. They made the
match official for Paris, which was the whole point of this.
I guess asking for two women's matches on a show
with only five matches here on this fucking pl is
too much to ask for. So this will be your
women's match, likely your one women's match on Sunday. Jackie

(35:45):
Redman spoke with CM Punk backstage and brought up La
Knight's comments earlier. Punk said that it obviously will be
every man for himself on Sunday, but he was just
trying to get everybody on the same page so they
can make sure they all got to the match that
seth Rollins has the numbers advantage. Punk recalled Night, saying
that he's hungry. Punk said he's actually obsessed, and he

(36:08):
closed by doing his version of La Knight's closing line.
This week's episode is sponsored by Green Chef. When you
think about summer, you want to have your best beach
pod right, and what you eat has a lot to
do with that. But even when the summer comes to
an end, that doesn't make it okay to just start
eating whatever you want, regardless of how bad it may
be for you. That's my attitude. I want to make

(36:31):
sure I'm eating well all year round because my health
is important. It's about adopting eating habits that I know
I can stick to. That's the beauty of green Chef,
the number one meal kit for clean eating. Green Chef

and more time doing the other things that you would
rather be doing this summer. And with their new Heat

tried Green Chef for myself and had meals sent right

(37:35):
to my doorstep, I can vouch for how easy they
are to make and the fact that they passed my
taste test. One of my favorite meals I had a
while back was their chicken with basil pea stew with
roasted red peppers and jasmine rice. It was fantastic. It's
hard to mess up a chicken dish with me, but
it has been done before. Thankfully, this wasn't one of
those times. As far as getting everything together, it was

(37:57):
super easy. You know, they list out everything you need,
any food allergens that you need to know about, which
I appreciate and it was a great time saver for
me before getting ready to go to work and do

Roxanne Perez. Michael Cole said this is the third match
between the two of them, and Perez has yet to
beat Rhea Corey. Graves pointed out that Rhea Ripley has

(38:44):
yet to beat Eosky, and yet Roxanne Perez, as of
a few weeks ago, now has a win herself over Eosky.
Perez landed a springboard moonsalt for a two count that
took us into a commercial break. We got a distraction
from Raquel Rodriguez that allowed Roxanne to take over with
a suicide dive. She worked over Ripley's leg during a break,

(39:06):
spiked her with a DDT again. Nobody I will say
I've said this before, Nobody takes a DDT bump in
modern wrestling better than Rhea Ripley. She's awesome when it
comes to that. There was another distraction that allowed Roxanne
to bring Ria down off the top r up with
the hurrican Rana. Perez followed with a double knee drop.

(39:29):
Ripley followed that with a Razor's edge. She knocked down Rodriguez,
blocked a Pop Rocks attempt, and then hit Riptide for
the win. So Roxanne Perez has never beaten Rhea Ripley,
and evidently she never will. Rhea stands tall now. Rodriguez
attacked Ripley when the match was over. She was fighting,
trying to fight her off, but Roxanne got involved. Two

(39:50):
on one, the fans started chanting for EO and they
got EO. EO Sky's music hits. She runs out to
make the saves. She sent Raquel out of the ring
with the missile drop kick, and then she hugged Rhea
and the baby Faces stood tall. Now, this was a
fine TV match between these two. Nothing terribly special, but

(40:11):
it was fine as a television match. WWE is said
to be very high on Roxanne Roxanne Perra. I almost
said Roxanne Rodriguez. I'm fusing them Roxanne Perez as they
should be, because she's very good. She was very good
in NXT, and I think she's done very well for
herself so far on the main roster. Even before she
joined the Judgment Day, you know, when she was in
the Rumble and she was in the chamber every time

(40:33):
they gave her an opportunity, and then she would disappear
for weeks on end. But she knocked it out of
the park and ever since they added her to the
Judgment Day, she had that story that was brewing with
her and Live Morgan Live getting hurt was not ideal,
but they have found ways, you know, when stuff like
that happens, like when Ria got hurt, it was the
best thing that could have happened to Live Morgan's career.

(40:55):
Live getting hurt terrible situation, and it stalled her momentum.
But she'll be back in few months, and when she
is it, she'll probably be a babyface. Maybe not right away,
but probably not long after that. She'll end up being
a babyface. But there's already made story right there for
them that's going to take them right into WrestleMania with
liv and Roxanne. So she's sitting pretty right now and

(41:16):
doing really well. I still think it would be premature
to put the Women's championship on her again. I don't
know how they're going to resolve this vacant title situation.
If they may end up putting the belt on her,
I think it's too soon for that. I don't think
it's necessary. I wouldn't hate it. I think that she
was a very good champion in NXT, and one day
she'll be a very good women's champion on the main roster.

(41:39):
Roxanne is someone who I would start out as like
a US champion or an Intercontinental champion, and then graduate
her eventually to the main world championship. I wouldn't start
her there. There's a reason why these other titles exist.
I think that like that Intercontinental title, once Becky is
done with it is perfect for someone like Roxanne Perez.

(42:01):
Eo saving Ria here obviously was not going to make
Oscar very happy, and it didn't. In the back later,
Rhea told Eo so much for keeping your distance. Leo
said she owed her for last week, and Ripley told her,
you don't know me anything. I appreciate it. She said
thank you and she walked away, just as Oscar and

(42:23):
Kyrie Say showed up to confront Eo. Oscar was not happy.
She started screaming at Eo and Japanese told her in
English to stop talking to Rhea. Oscar stormed off. Eo
looks at Kyrie and says, please trust me. And Kyrie
saying here acted all melodramatic and like she was being

(42:47):
torn between these two friends that she cares about, and
she's like almost crying to the point of like on
the verge of tears, and she just says sorry and
she to go join Osca. The stuff with with Kyrie
here was comically over dramatic. And I assume that that's
what they're going for. I assume that's what they're telling

(43:09):
her to do. But like, as you're watching this, it's like,
all right, they're laying it on a little too thick here.
She's you know, I guess she's just under the spell
of Osca. Look, I would want to incur Oscar's wrath
either when she starts popping off. I mean, I could
see where Kyrie would be, you know, a little intimidated
by that. But yeah, this was this was a little melodramatic.

(43:33):
We had aj styles against Finn Balor. There was a
time number of years ago where they would announce a
match like this, and it's like, oh shit, hey, we're
getting AJ styles against Finn Balor. And now it's like,
all right, we're getting AJ styles against Finn Baller, you know,
unannounced here on the show. Came back from break. Balor

(43:54):
was already in the ring, ding ding ding the match begins.
Crowd gave them some polite applause as the match began.
They wrestled back and forth for a few minutes until
Balor drop kicked AJ off the apron Styles later on
blocked a crossbody hit, a backbreaker, followed by a fireman's
carry neck breaker for two. Ballor responded with a sling
blade and a dropkick into the corner. Stiles was able

(44:17):
to avoid a kuda grass and a series of counters
led to a styles clash to give AJ the win
clean as a whistle here in the middle of the ring.
This was as basic a match as you will ever
see AJ Styles and Finn Balor have, And even a
very basic AJ Styles Finn Balor match is still a

(44:40):
solid match. But that's really all it was. They had
a solid match here. It's not anything that you can't see,
honestly in any other match on the show. But it
served its purpose, which was to have Balor take out
attempt to take out Aj, and he failed and that's
only going to cause more problems when it comes to

(45:01):
him in dominic. So that was the whole purpose of this. Now, backstage,
Jay Usso was all stressed out about the four way
match coming up on Sunday at Clash in Paris. Camera
panned back and it showed that he was talking to
Roman Rains and Roman warned him, first of all, never

(45:22):
to trust Sumpunk. Rain's also wondering why is Ja so uptight.
He told them you got to stop helping people. You've
helped enough, said that you've helped me, you've helped our family,
you've helped the locker room, you've helped the company. It
was time for Jay to do it for himself. It
wasn't about being one of the boys or making friends.

(45:44):
It was about cashing in on the moments and locking
in a legacy. Rain said that that was his perspective. Ultimately,
it's up to Jay to be Jay. We got another
Bailey video where she could hear the inner voice or voices,
and we as the viewer, could hear the voices in

(46:05):
her head they've been doing this for a few weeks now.
It started with the younger and more upbeat version of
Bailey talking to her before the heel version interrupted and
the two voices were in conflict with one another, and
they started arguing back and forth, back and forth to
the point where it was just driving Bailey absolutely crazy,

(46:26):
and she ended up shouting for them to just stop,
and then the voices stopped. We go backstage. Lyra Valkeyria
expresses to Adam Pierce that she has been very concerned
about Bailey. Asked if they had checked up on her,
if there was any sort of update on her medical state,
and Adam said that he's called her, but there is

(46:49):
no official update. I would say, somebody needs to do
a wellness check on this woman. Being that she's been
hearing voices in her head for a few weeks now,
you would think that it's like on SmackDown. We've had
two weeks now where they have indicated that we have
tried to get a medical update on our WWE champion
Cody Rhoades and we have no medical update. And I
said this on Friday, go what is taking solo? How

(47:09):
do you not have an update? Has Cody turned his
phone off. Is he not returning calls and texts? Why
is it so hard to get a medical update on
your champion? Evidently nobody has taken the extra step to
check up on Bailey as she continues to have this breakdown.
I still like the idea I just mentioned this last week.

(47:31):
I like the idea of her coming out one week
as a babyface, coming out another week as a heel,
and having this split personality thing going on where she
can kind of play both sides, like you never know
from week to week which version of Bailey you're going
to get. Meanwhile, the male members of the Judgment Day
they confronted Adam Pierce after Lyra walked off. They confronted

(47:54):
Pierce about AJ Styles and their little AJ problem, and
Dom wanted things to end already with AJ and Pierce agreed.
He said, So what I've done is I put you
in a match in Paris, not at Clash in Paris,
but I guess they're going to be in Paris next
week on Raw in a match for the Intercontinental Championship

(48:15):
where you will be defending your title against AJ Styles.
And Dom was not happy about this. He referred to
as Pierce walked off. He referred to him as Hey,
Charles Xavier. He called that man Professor x that got
a chuckle out of me. Baler was in the background.
You can see him in the background. He was selling
the loss that he just had in his match with AJ,

(48:38):
but he looked up and smiled when Pierce made the
announcement that AJ would be challenging Dom for the title
next week. Bron Breaker, Paul Hayman, and Bronz and Reed.
They were shown walking backstage because bron Breaker was on
his way out for the main event. When all of
a sudden, Roman Reigns attacks bron Breaker. Reid tried to intervene,

(48:59):
Rain's him with a superman punch. Security stepped in. Adam
Pierce spoke to Breaker and told him get out to
the ring. La Night attacked bron Breaker. He dragged him
through the gorilla position all the way out into the
aisle and into the ring. After a break, our main
event was joined already in progress. Knight was getting the

(49:20):
better a Breaker, and Michael Cole talked about how he
had never seen Night so aggressive Before Breaker came back.
He put Night down with a running clothesline. Night came
back with a side rushian leg sweep. He cleared Breaker
from the ring, and then Knight hit that running kick
that he does through the ropes to the floor. After
this breaker, he tripped Night. Night was on the announced desk.

(49:41):
He tripped him and he fell on the announced desk.
Breaker then ran La Night into the ring steps and
they went to another commercial break. Bron hit his Brakensteiner
later in the match, which sent Night flying off the
top to the mat. Then he set up for the spear.
Night got a knee strike. Hayman tells Hayman's outside of

(50:02):
the ring, He's looking up a brown and he's like,
finish this prick off, will you? So there was a
reverse DDT by Night after he nearly got dropped on
his head. It looked like they had different ideas of
what the spot was supposed to be, so he just
ended up turning it into a scorpion death drop. Breaker

(50:22):
pulled the straps down though a little while later, and
he ended up running into a big boot. Knight placed
Breaker on top. Then Knight did his spot where he
leaps up to the top rope, hits a superplex, and
then the leaping top rope elbow followed from Night and
then we hear burn it Down now and my ears

(50:44):
began to bleed, and that could only mean one thing.
Seth Rawlins is on his way down to the ring
to ruin this main event, and in fact, that's exactly
what he was here to do. Seth Rawlins came out,
he ran down for the distraction. Knight chased Seth out
and around the ring and ended up getting speared as

(51:04):
he rounded the bend, he got speared by Bron Breaker
on the floor, and then in the ring he suffered
another spear and then Breaker pinned him to win the match.
Beating one of your challengers, one of your three challengers
for the World Heavyweight Championship this Sunday, in that fatal
four way match is certainly a choice. Now you can

(51:25):
blame Seth for that. It wasn't a totally clean win,
but it kind of was. I mean, Rolins never touched him,
he never really did anything overt, but that's that's his out.
He was distracted you know by you know, Burn It
Down and Seth Rollins coming out to the ring. So
that was certainly a choice. It will be a far

(51:46):
worse choice if after he lost tonight, as I think
he will Night ends up being the one to eat
the pin on Sunday in the four way. That would
be far worse after the match was over. At least
we got an actual fucking winner in this match, not
another DQ finish. When the match was over, Rollin's in Breaker,
they attack Night, We hear jay Usso's music. He comes

(52:08):
out to make the save, despite what Roman Range just
got done, telling this fucking guy in the segment before this,
you don't have to help anybody else, let alone one
of your opponents on Sunday. The first man that comes
out jay uso So. He comes out, he hits Rollins
with a superkick. He turns his attention to Breaker. Rollins
grabs him, hits one of those awful pedigrees where he

(52:29):
hooks the arms and then as soon as he jumps up,
he immediately lets go and the guy just falls to
the match. I fucking hate I hate when people do
the pedigree like that, Like if you don't want to,
if you don't trust yourself enough, like to do the
move in a way that at least looks good. I
get it, but then don't do it. But I mean,
most people have been doing a shitty pedigree now for

(52:50):
twenty five years so I mean, it's not not really
just the Seth Rollins problem. Even Triple H at some
point he just was like he would give up on it,
like halfway into the move. You know who would take
the worst pedigrees even twenty years ago, Caine, And I
mean he's a bigger guy. I guess I can kind

(53:10):
of understand it. But at least he had a mask on.
But like Caine always took a shitty because you would
always put a knee down and I'm like, man, this
looks like shit, but it was always kan Caine was
like the worst at taking those pedigrees. So this is
all going on here. Cmpunk finally and people were chanting
for punk. They wanted to see punk. They hit cult

(53:32):
of Personality. Cmpunk comes out after they cut his song.
When he got to the ring, the fans continued to
sing and they were singing this song loud and proud,
like this rivaled the fans in London at Forbidden Door
last night singing Adam Copeland's song, because when they sang

(53:52):
his song, they were loud, they were super into it.
This crowd was loud and super into singing punk song.
Here Punk Attack Rollins. Bron though pulled Rollins out of
the ring to safety. The crowd started chanting sets a Pussy,
which got censored. Punk helped Jay to his feet. Night
confronted Punk. Jay tried to settle them both down. Knight

(54:16):
brushed them off. Punk and Knight they started trading fists
until Punk shoved Night into j Punk grabbed Night for
a GTS. Night slipped out stumbled towards j who caught
him with a superkick. Jay stood next to Punk and
then laid out Punk with a superkick, and Rollins was
very I mean, he's watching this right. These were all

(54:37):
of his opponents on Sunday. He was very amused by
all of this. Jay then yeaded with the crowd as
the show came to an end. So j Uso stands tall,
which is good for him because he will not be
at the end of that main event on Sunday, but
neither will any of these other bozos who continue to
fight each other instead of focusing on the actual goal here,

(55:01):
which should be taking out Seth, Rollins and this faction
of his. He's the world heavyweight champion, He's their target
on Sunday, and instead they were just at each other's throats,
and we have all of this drama between these challengers
every single week, which I guess is good when you
have a television show, you want to have drama, But boy,
it does make them look kind of dumb, doesn't it.

(55:22):
Jay Us should have taken his cousin's advice and just
stayed in the back. I love how he heard everything
Roman had to say, and he was the first guy
to come out there to try to make the save,
and then so he ends up being involved and embroiled
in all this bullshit here at the end of the show.
They certainly did not do anything here on this go
home edition of Raw that would make you think that

(55:44):
any of these challengers, any of these three men are
leaving Paris as the world heavyweight champion. So to that end,
I don't really know that I can call this a
successful segment. They certainly try to build up some drama
between those three, but does anybody honestly think Seth Rollins,

(56:05):
who just cashed in this month to win the world
heavyweight Championship, is going to lose to jay Usso is
going to lose to La Knight. CM Punk would be
the likeliest, and cmpunk will probably eventually win back the
World Heavyweight Championship. I don't think he has to, but
if he does, it ain't going to be in Paris.

(56:27):
It would be at WrestleMania, but it will not be
in Paris. And that concluded a very run of the
mill episode of Raw. It set things up for Sunday.
I just don't think they did a very good job
of getting me anyway excited to actually see any of
those matches that they were hyping up tonight, and I'm
bummed that they took one of the matches I was
looking forward to off the card, I mean, the last

(56:48):
couple of plees. The Women's World Championship match was honestly,
if not the best thing on the show. It was
one of the highlights of the show. It was certainly
the best thing on the show at Evolution, that match
with Ria and EO. It was fucking great. It's one
of the best matches I've seen all year. So yes,
I was looking forward to seeing Stephanie, who has been completely,
i mean just completely forgotten about on most weeks on

(57:11):
this show. She doesn't wrestle. We barely see her. Tonight
was another example. We saw her for all of twenty
seconds on screen. She needed this match because she hasn't
done anything this month. Now she's got to wait until September.
Now we're going to go into the next month before
we even see her back in the ring wrestling for
the championship. So that was a big bummer finding out

(57:34):
that match is and even on the card, this is
the card. This is the official card right now as
things stand for Clash in Paris coming up on Sunday,
Seamus and Russev, who they had dueling video packages for tonight,
one for each otherwise they were not on the show.
But they will be in a good old fashioned donnybrook match,
which is basically just no DQ no count. Now I

(57:57):
would have made a false count anywhere they wanted to
go with the donny Brooks stipulation. So we'll get barrels,
We'll get barrels and all kinds of Kendo sticks. You
gotta have the Kendo sticks. At least they're having a
pl match. It's great, it's great. I talked last week.
The last time we saw Seamus in a singles match
on a pl E was Clashing Clash at the Castle

(58:18):
in twenty twenty two, three years ago against Gunther Good
for him, He's got himself a pl match. Roman Reigns
is going to try to get his shoes back from
Bronson Reed. Becky Lynch defends the Intercontinental title against Nikki Bella.
John Cena goes one on one with Logan Paul, and
Seth Rollins is going to defend the World Heavyweight Championship

(58:41):
in a four way against Ci I'm punk, Jay Usso
and La Knight. And that looks to be the full
card unless they add Charlotte and Alexa against the Secret Hervists,
and that doesn't scream clash in Paris match to me.
That screams TV match to me. So short of that,
it looks like we're getting another five match pl e here.

(59:02):
Not the most inspiring card that Triple H has ever
put together here, See, I think they're putting all of
their efforts towards Wreussell Palooza. We're gonna get Cody Rhodes
against Drew McIntyre. We're gonna get John Cena against Brock Lesner,
and for all we know, we may not have a
women's world champion until that show, and who knows what
else we might have. Who knows. I think they're gonna

(59:25):
try to load that show, that first ESPN show. They're
gonna try to load that show up as much as
they possibly can. Oh, Bliss fan says, they announced that
for smack that Well there you go, all right, well
there you Charlotte and Alexa defending the women's tag team
titles on SmackDown against Ali. That's right, you're right. They

(59:46):
did announce that. Alba Fire and isladd On or no, Alba,
I don't fucking care, Alba Fire and Piper Knivin good whatever,
they're not gonna win. Who gives a shit anyway, there
you get you want to you want to see the match.
It's gonna be on SmackDown on Friday Night. My god, oh,

(01:00:09):
these shows, like I said, there's just a repetitive nature
to these shows with the same people. They just they
might mix up the order on these shows. But my god, Mike,
and you know what part of the problem is too.
It's not even that like, Okay, they're telling these stories
with these same people, right, but they play out each week.
The stories just aren't very interesting. I might be able

(01:00:30):
to excuse it if the stories were fucking fun, but
they're not for the most part, for the most part,
not saying everything on the show is bad. Uh, but
there's just not enough going on in those two and
a half hours that really offers a whole lot of
variety from week to week. And that's why there's this
sameness to these shows. That's why I threw that idea,
which is just an idea, like for an NXT showcase

(01:00:50):
match or something like that, to get some new faces
on the show and maybe from there you can come
up with, you know, stories even but at least it's
something different, you know, to have on the show. Even
the speed titles, like as as dumb of a concept
as it is, you know, people do have a short
attention spend, so it might work for some. But like

(01:01:13):
if you want to have a speed match on Raw
each week, right, it's only three minutes, but even I
take even that. At this point, you have El Grande
Americano out there defending his championship. You got to beat
him in three minutes or less to win the speed title.
You gonna have some fun with that. Just trying to
come up with some new concepts and new ideas that
they could do, because these shows, man, these shows are

(01:01:35):
very it's just so low effort. But this is what
you can get away with. You know, when business is
hot and you've got all this guaranteed money coming in
and they're making these big deals left and right, you know,
you don't really have the incentive to change from that formula.
You have a formula that you think works for you

(01:01:56):
and that and that's a great word for very formulaic,
very formulaic. How would you grade Raw? From Birmingham UK
sixteen percent? Grade this show an A twenty seven percent grade,

(01:02:17):
the show a B twenty six percent grade, this show
a C thirty one percent? Give Raw a D. I'm
not gonna argue I wouldn't say D, but it's definitely
not an A in that B and C range. That

(01:02:38):
sounds about right. You can go vote at Solo Monster.
I want to grade that report card. There you go.
That is as bad of a raw rating, by the way,
a raw score in the poll as I have seen
in months. That's awful. Steven Sidrow says, first D for Raw.

(01:02:59):
When you you've lost Sidrow, I mean, I don't know
what to tell you once that's happened. I mean, you
really had to do something awful. I mean, Sidro, he
just tries to make people laugh always with a smile
on his face, always in a good mood. When you've
lost Sidrow, you're doing something terribly wrong. Terrible dried chicken.

(01:03:25):
Speaking of terrible, terrible dried chicken. Please please get us
started here. Let's get us started here, terrible dried chicken.
I'm disappointed that Stephanie Vicaire is still not getting a
match at Clash in Paris. Less is more my ass

(01:03:48):
with Triple H, it's more like less is less. Well,
we did have that one show earlier this year that
had four matches instead of five. Could be worse. Also,
I feel like the slow burned booking style is starting
to work against WWE. They don't care, but as a
viewer it is punishment. They don't like to break from

(01:04:12):
their from their formula that they have, and they think
that every week it's like a little movie that they're shooting, right,
because they they basically make movies. So Vince Oban used
to say, right, we make movies. There's a lot of
bad movies out there, though not every movie is a
good movie. I believe me. I've gone to the movies before,

(01:04:33):
and I've sat through movies where I fall asleep in
the middle of the movie Joseph Stewart. If Hogan returned
to WWE in nineteen ninety eight and Austin versus Hogan
had happened at WrestleMania fifteen, would the rock mankind triple
H's careers? What would they look like today? They would
look exactly the same. Like long term, their careers would

(01:04:55):
have been fine. It would not have changed any of
their careers in any sort of truly radical way. Do
you think the New Generation era is an underrated era
in WWE history? I do buy or sell Star Wars
or Spaceballs? Spaceballs. Are you a fan of Jurassic Park

(01:05:17):
and what is your favorite What is your favorite scene
in the first Jurassic Park movie? I am a fan
of the first Jurassic Park and my favorite scene is
probably the guy on the toilet who gets eaten as
he's on the sitting on the shitter. Or the kids
in the car, you know, holding that pane of glass

(01:05:38):
as the dinosaur looks down. It's a terrifying scene, but
the child actors are very good in that movie. You're
a fan of Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray,
not really? Do you think if both lived Morgan and
dominic mysteria, where in AW is the Bonnie and Clyde couple.
Could it work in AW Living Dom? Yeah, I mean

(01:06:03):
Living Dom have great chemistry together. I think they can
make it work. The only thing is in AW they
would not be getting the kind of and I've talked
about this before with the AW shows where there's not
enough character development when it comes to the out of
the ring scenes. I mean they do it, but they
don't do enough of it. And the Living Dom stuff,

(01:06:25):
so much of that is just backstage segments, their interactions
in the back and those clubhouse scenes. But the judgment day,
I don't think they would get as much of that
in AAW. So I don't think it would work as
well as it works in WWE, but they would make
it work. I mean they're a good combo together. Is

(01:06:48):
it true that the original plan for WrestleMania thirty was
Roman reigns against Dean Ambrose. Yes, that's according to Seth
Collins and what Rollins was told. The plan was they
were going to break up the Shield. They were going
to have Roman against Dean. Seth was going to be
the odd man out. He thinks maybe he would have

(01:07:09):
been like a special referee or something that would have
been awful. But yeah, that was originally one of at
least one of the plans for WrestleMania that year. Death
Scythe says, Okay, now this one really separates the men
from the boys and the boys from the men. Good
sons scenario, drop one, save the other, Mario or Sonic.

(01:07:33):
I gotta save Mario, Gotta say goodbye to Sonic. I
would say goodbye to Sonic, but he's already gone. He's
very fast. Also, death sythe not important. But I thought
WWE bringing Brock back was the shoe was a shoe
in for this year's most Disgusting Promotional Tactic. But it's

(01:07:53):
safe to say that Rajah Jackson takes the prize. I
would have fallen the category of most disgusting promotional tactic.
I mean, I guess so, because they were trying to
turn something into an angle with someone who has no
experience in wrestling and isn't even a wrestling fan by

(01:08:15):
his own admissions. So I mean, it's just it's disgusting.
Whether it's the most disgusting promotional tactic, I don't know
if that's the right category for it. Also, I can't
wait to hear your full thoughts on the podcast on
Sunday about the situation. I hope they throw the fucking
book at him as well. They should. I talked about
it a little bit last night, but we'll get into

(01:08:35):
it more because this story is evolving every day. I
saw a photo of Psycho Stu whose name is in
the hospital. It looked like it was probably that night
when they took him to the er. He had blood
on his gown. It was very, very disturbing, and now

(01:08:56):
he's he's in rough shape. Somebody just started to go
fund me for him. I saw a mister beast became
aware of the story and he was offering to help
out in any way he could. But yeah, he's in
rough shape right now. Joseph says, screw Rajah Jackson, jail
Awaits what a piece of shit. Yeah, they should put

(01:09:20):
him under the jail. I am sure. I mean, look,
the LAPD has launched an investigation. According to TMZ, people
are being interviewed. I'm sure evidence is being gathered. There's
some very damning video obviously in this case. If he
doesn't do any time behind bars, I would be shocked,
and he should be doing a very long time behind bars. Regardless,

(01:09:43):
even if Psycho Stu was like in totally stable condition
and he was going home tomorrow, which he clearly is not.
And if you've heard that from anywhere, it's bullshit. He's
not going anywhere right now. But even if that was
the case, and what you see on that video, it's
attempted murder. I mean, eventually people actually decided to step

(01:10:05):
into interveno. Imagine if they hadn't, he would have continued going.
I mean, we wouldn't be talking about somebody in the
hospital right now, we would be talking about somebody in
the morgue. So yes, they should throw the book at him.
And it's funny, you know, on the stream last night,
I mentioned that Knox pro maybe in jeopardy of losing

(01:10:25):
their WWEID designation, and they should and they have that
broke earlier. Today they are no longer under a WWID designation.
Good Antonio Taylor, no sleep, no food, no nothing, just
meniaicism as a skeleton. We still walk as ultimate maniacs. Therefore,

(01:10:47):
what are you going to do? Bury us? Now? That
sounds like an Ultimate Warrior promo to me. If not,
it sounds like something the Ultimate Warrior would have absolutely
said back in the promo, Uh, super pony. I feel
bad for Penn Balor. He deserves better. Yeah. Somebody posted

(01:11:07):
a clip of his entrance on Raw the night after
Summer Slim back in twenty sixteen, when he the one
night he ever came out as any sort of world
or Universal champion on the main roster, and I realized, Wow,
it's been nine years, and in nine years he has
never held another Universal or world championship. It's hard to believe.

(01:11:31):
How different would his career look had he not gotten hurt?
Would it be radically different? I think it would be different.
I don't want to say radical, but like that. See,
that's one of those what if questions, Like what would
his career trajectory have been had he not gotten hurt?
And would we be looking at a situation where Kevin

(01:11:53):
Owens then would have never held any sort of Universal
or world championship, which is he ended up holding the
Universal title when he won the title in that four way,
maybe we're in a situation where Kevin Owens never held
anything on the main roster, which is pretty crazy in
and of itself. Jeremy Rose with the twenty two dollars

(01:12:23):
super Chat, Thank you, Jeremy. Jeremy says, this narrative that
Nicky paved the way for the likes of Becky is
such bullshit. She was only the longest women's champion because

(01:12:44):
she was dating the face of the franchise, and I'm
sure Vince had a thing for her and Brie nothing
about ability. Jeremy Rose not a fan of Nicki Bella
death scythe Maybe Mario should be the GM of Raw
and Sonic would be the GM of SmackDown. I would

(01:13:07):
be okay with that some of the decisions that have
been made by these gms recently. Honestly, I don't see
how Mario and Sonic could be any worse. I think
they would be an improvement, a step up, frankly from
what we have now. We got vibes and stuff. Is
Rollin's the least interesting member in his own crew. Yes, yes,

(01:13:34):
Jeremy says, give me cmpunk La Night three month feud
resulting in an edgier helish Punk with fire Burns as
his entrance. Well, I mean, now you've entered Fantasy Lamp.
It's not going to happen. Terrible Dried Chicken, Richard and

(01:14:00):
Michael Hayes, please retire. Blame anybody but triple Aha. Brandon Proctor,
thank you for the thirty nine months of channel membership,
says really enjoyed Forbidden Door yesterday them playing Hansen for
the bucks and Kenny dancing pop me. That was honestly

(01:14:23):
one of the best moments of the entire show. When
they played Umbah and the bucks came out, they were
all frustrated. I said that, Okay, that's fucking great, but
still I can't believe that Tony shelled out the cash
for Hanson but he couldn't shell out the cash for
Oasis for Nigel. Victor says, buy or sell Brett versus

(01:14:45):
Sean or Rock versus Austin. Hm, I gotta go Rock Austin.
I gotta go Rock Austin. Dry Chicken says the Judgment
Day on Netflix will be a TV series. It already is.
It's called raw Dude. They don't need another TV series.

(01:15:07):
We see it every Monday night. Also, here's a T
shirt and idea Judgment Day and chill. Yeah. I don't
know about that one. Jeremy Rose Top three things I

(01:15:31):
hate about TKO ra at number one, ticket prices number
two not seeing both wrestlers entrances number three, B levels
celebrities galore. They didn't show any celebrities tonight, didn't They
just realized I don't think we had any of the
B level celebrity cameos on screen tonight. Do they have
no celebrities in the UK? Is that what it is?

(01:15:53):
They show Johnny Saint in the crowd a forbidden door yesterday.
You think the WWE audience would know who Johnny's this?
Probably not. They would think he's the grandfather on some
Netflix show. Oh we got dried Chicken. Here's an idea.

(01:16:15):
Instead of the Kabuki Warriors helping EO Sky, they are
hanging out playing video games with the New Day and
Grayson Waller. Heel hint, they don't play video game Actually no,
Actually Oscar does play video games. What am I talking about? Oscar?
Oscar used to write for a video game publication. I

(01:16:36):
don't know if Kyrie plays video games. Oscar definitely does.
Brandon Proctor, first time vacant has won a title via pregnancy. Yeah, well,
I guess so. Right, when Becky got pregnant, Oscar became
the champion, right, So I guess that might be the case.

(01:16:57):
Terrible Dried Chicken Nikki Bella against Becky Lynch the Battle
of the Mama Sietas. If only Riho Ripley was the
special referee for the match. I'm surprised they didn't make
her one. She has no match on the show. At
least it would be a way to get her on
the show. That I know. It's probably too soon for
Stephanie Vicaire. But then again, didn't Brock win the WWE
title in five months? And I think he did pretty well. Yeah,

(01:17:22):
but that's not the point, dude. Sometimes it just it's
better to wait. I would rather see her beat like
Rhea Ripley WrestleMania to win the championship. They haven't established
her enough on the show, dude. You're talking about Brock
Lesner in two thousand and two. He was on the
show every single week wrecking shit before he won the title.

(01:17:43):
I mean, he beat some pretty big names and he
won King of the Ring and all these different things
that he was doing, and he wrestled Rick Flair and
Hult Kogan and all these people. What have they done
with Stephanie. She won the Battle Royal at Evolution. We've
seen her on TV. I think in a match once
since then that was in mid July. You just got
to throw the women's title on her. That's not how

(01:18:07):
I want to see her win the championship the first time.
You gonna do better, men, sidrow with thirteen months of membership,
there he is. What is an escalator say? When it
stops working? Nothing, It just stares. It just stares. And

(01:18:28):
a sheep a drum and a snake fell off a cliff. Yeah,
bedumb tiss bedumbedo. Oh do you go out look at
that perfect sound effect? You motherfucker? There you go. That
might be your best one yet. Sidrow Son holding an acorn.

(01:18:55):
What's this me an? Oak tree Son? Really me in
a nutshell? Yes, and made a dating site for chickens,
just doing it to make hens meat Hen's meat suck.

(01:19:18):
Now we're back to reality. Face Bears says American males,
American males, American males, Sidra. When my wife was in labor.
When my wife was in labor, the doctor came in

(01:19:41):
and said, I'll be the one to deliver your baby.
I said, no thanks, we'd like him to keep his liver.
I don't know how to react to that, so I'm
gonna move on Terrible Dried Chicken. Seth Rollins will walk

(01:20:03):
in Paris as the champion. He will leave as champion
with some bruises on his back legs, chest, face, hips
and butt cheese. What the fuck is going on here?
Bruises on his back legs, chest, face, hips and butt cheeks.
Uh yeah, I mean that's not the pay per view

(01:20:24):
I'm ordering on Sunday. I mean, I guess we don't
order them anymore. We used to order the pay per view,
actually I did yesterday with Forbidden Door. Sidrow asked Son
what he learned in school today. He said, gay men
like sony lesbian's favorite Yamaha, and transgender people prefer bows.

(01:20:51):
It's bows, right. I always pronounced that wrong. I knelt,
put my hand on his shoulder and said, Son, those
are just stereotypes. Well you're full of them, aren't you.

(01:21:13):
Street Fighter. Speaking of Stephanie wwe flew her to Canada
and had her work two ten second segments in two weeks,
then flew her to the UK to work a twenty
second segment and no, pl e, what are we doing?
Did she at least work a dark match before the show? Like?
I feel bad for her at this point, like flying

(01:21:34):
her all around the world to do absolutely nothing, but
she's getting paid. I mean, I could think of worse
things to do, I guess, than just get paid to
fly around the world and do nothing. It just seems
like a waste to me. I would hope she at
least had a dark match or fucking main event match
or something sees with a four ninety nine? Who is

(01:21:59):
your Are you gonna make me look this up now?
I don't know what that means. I don't know what
that means, dude. I'm gonna pick EO, but I don't know.

(01:22:22):
I don't have no idea what's going on here? Terrible
dry Chicken Triple H really loves protecting his favorites like
a Polish car and polish shoes, squeaky clean, no mud,
and no dirt on their favorites. A women's wrestler of

(01:22:43):
the year. Why don't you spell it out, dude, I
feel like I'm decoding something here. Women's Wrestler of the
Year is is a is my personal favorite? EO Sky
Mercedes is having a hell of a run. I mean,
I ignore all the championships that she wins because they
don't mean anything to me. Mercedes is going out there

(01:23:06):
and having really good matches with people, and that's great,
and she's having fun and she's having the time of
her life. To me, EO Sky is just she's killing it.
She may not have as many championships as Mercedes, but
to me, it's EO Sky. I actually typed that in

(01:23:28):
because I thought it meant something and like the result
that I got, Like there are no search results, like
we don't know what you're talking about, Furious Nation, what's
going on? Brother with a four ninety nine? What's up? Solo?

(01:23:49):
Glad to be here as I have been a fan
of you since twenty eighteen. When you uploaded the worst
raw of twenty eighteen, Oh my god, that was the
one I had in the thumbnail. It was a member
of the New Day. It might have been KOFE holding
up a sign with a garbage can on it. That. Yeah,
that was awful. I think that review has like triple

(01:24:10):
digits in terms of views. It truly was the worst
for all that I had ever seen. It was awful.
But it's good to have you here with us tonight. Boy,
my good brother. Terrible Dried Chicken Live, Morgan and Dominic
mysterio in aw can really work on a TV fourteen show.
It would be too hot for Warner Brothers Discovery. Well,

(01:24:36):
then by that logic, they wouldn't be showing the best stuff.
So what would be the point if it's too hot
for Warner Brothers Discovery? MGM Ballin. Do you watch Peacemaker?
I am upset they deaf rebeled their intro theme for
season two. I'm sure it's a good song, but season

(01:24:58):
one song was iconic, the intro. I have not seen Peacemaker.
I have been told that I should, and I will.
I will, I will watch it at some point, but
I have not. So I have not seen the second
season because I have to see the first season. First
retro kohawwe I didn't ask for a raw D for

(01:25:21):
my birthday? Get it together, triple h PS, fuck Rajah Jackson.
Hope he gets decades in prison. I'll tell you what
is almost as disturbing as what I saw in that
video are the number of people actually defending this piece
of garbage. I don't get it. I don't care who

(01:25:45):
egged him on or what led to him doing what
he did, Like there's no there's no excuse for what
he did none, and there are people who are making
it well, you know, is this person caused them to
do like just shut the fuck up, you know, I mean, like,
what's the matter with you? What's wrong with you? You've

(01:26:08):
got to have a screw loose up here to think,
you know what. I have to go against the grain
and be contrarian here, and I have to support the
guy that almost murdered this person and beat them within
an inch of their life. Charles Turner, enjoy your reviews.

(01:26:30):
You watch so I don't have to. That's why I'm here.
I've been saying it since not the very beginning, but
at least twenty sixteen. Actually probably a little later than that,
because when the show started to really get bad, my
whole thing was always I watch so you don't have to, Boots.
We need less Don callous and more Mother Wayne in aw.

(01:26:53):
If you're not careful, Mother Wayne may join the Don
Kallis family. We don't need that. Mark Kwan nineteen seventy
six says buy or sell Vince's Royal Rumble vo intros
or Vince's Survivor series vo intros. Uh. They were both iconic, man,

(01:27:17):
they were both really good. I Gotta Go Survivor series
that with the team names and everything, I gotta Go
Survivor series. It's the Vipers against the Visionaries. Who will
survive a maniac furious nation? Did you also see the

(01:27:39):
photo earlier of Sammy's Ain and Pac slash Neville and
it looks like NXT is returning to full sale on
September sixteenth? I didn't see the photo. What is that
a recent photo of the two of them together. I
haven't seen or heard any updates on Pack since he
heard his Well, he broke it. He broke his ankle
a few months ago, and that was in April. So

(01:28:02):
hopefully he's up and moving around well and maybe he'll
be back in a couple of months. So no, I
didn't see that. And I did hear that NXT was
possibly returning to full sale for like a homecoming show
of some kind, So I mean, that's cool. If it
looks the same, I think that would be cool. That's
when I really I got into NXT right at the
start there when they went to full sale and they

(01:28:24):
hit the network and I used to watch and review
every single week. Had a special charm to it. Also,
he says thoughts on this new Vision faction Seth Rollins,
Nathan Fraser, an Axiom with no Breaker Reading Hayman not
a fan, not a fan. I just think they're too vanilla.

(01:28:45):
They're just too plain jane if that's really all there
is to the faction, and Seth is already kind of
plain Jane enough. Bron Breaker, you know he's gonna be
a big breakout star and he's gonna be a big
deal when the breakup happens. Hopefully they make a big
deal about it. I like Bronson reed, No, I would
take Breaker and read over Fraser and Axiom for sure.

(01:29:06):
In that group Bill, Bill Franco's here, Bill, I know, brother,
I'm with you, my friend death Side. Why do dogs
love chasing cats because they love eating? Yeah, I'll let
that sound effects speak thank you, death Side. Well, actually,

(01:29:32):
based on what the fans in the UK were chanting
to know, I could just replace that with Seth Rollins
and say, why do dogs love chasing cats because they
love eating? Seth Rawlins? And that actually sounded awful. That
did not come out the way that I really thought
it would, So we'll forget that. Terrible dried chicken says
in the words of Nicholas Cage from The wicker Man,
not The Bees. You're quoting a Nicholas Cage movie here,

(01:30:00):
and you're not quoting something better like face Off. No,
I actually don't think I ever saw the Wickerman, never
saw the Wickerman, never saw John Wick. I feel like
I have to correct that. The Juliette says, yes, it

(01:30:25):
is a homecoming episode of nxtate well that I may
have to check out. I did see parts of heat Wave,
I didn't watch. I didn't have time to watch the
entire show. Oh man, the seventies Wickermen is good. So

(01:30:52):
we are at four hundred and sixteen likes. Looks like
we're gonna fall short of the bonus goal. But we
hit four to sixteen on the likes, which means means
Doctor Scorpio, they love eating who major pause solo not PG.

(01:31:13):
I know, I know. Let's be the booker, ladies and gentlemen.
It is now time to be the booker. Bash who says,
Hank and Tank are good. That's from NXT. We'll go
get him on the main roster. We can use some
new teams. I'm ready. Hank and Tank are not in here.

(01:31:38):
Maybe I should add them Let's do tag teams first.
No Hank in Tank, but we do begin with Cody
and Damien Sandau, the Rhodes Scholars. It's a hell of
a bath robe there that he's wearing. H right, the

(01:32:00):
Rhodes Scholars kicking us off here in be the booker
a lot writing on this, man, I mean, I feel
like we had a disappointing night the other night. We
have to we have to rebound here against the golden
lovers of Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi. You know this

(01:32:22):
right here and this that's so we got two e
vps in this match. This right here, this is peak
Omega and Eboushie right here, man, this is this is
them in like peak form. H father time. Man, father
Time is a bastard. All right, Women's be the booker

(01:32:44):
a promising start, Yes, a fine tag team match. Mommy
is mad. Pick a stipulation to make her happy? Well,
I mean, we don't want to make Mommy mad, so
I guess we're picking a step for this women match.
Ria gets what Rio wants. Ria Ripley is getting a

(01:33:09):
Tony Khan dream match. Everybody, we are getting a Tony
Khan dream match here and be the booker. It's a
dream women's match, just probably not the dream match Tony
Khan would book. But let's see, let's see what Tony
khan dream match we can come up with here. Zaya Lee,

(01:33:34):
I believe she is. She mayling in TNA Zaya Lee.
I don't know, man, I don't think this is the
I don't think this is the dream match that Tony
Khan was hoping for. Here, well, I don't know. We
have hi Karushida, the former aw Women's World champion, But

(01:33:57):
Hikarushida against Zaia Lee is not the dream match that
Tony Khan was looking to book. Tony Khan is a
very sad panda tonight. Let's see if we can do
better here in this main event. Hikaru Suke received a

(01:34:22):
gifted membership from Cody Moore. Thank you, Cody. Now here's
a main event, all right? Yes, yes, Brett the Hitman Heart.
We can't possibly fuck this up. Brett the hit Man

(01:34:43):
Hard in the main event. It's going to be a
good night here and be the booker. Brett the Hitman
Heart against the million dollar man Ted Dbasi. He didn't
get the clean sweep, but we got a fine main
event the Hitman and the million Dollar Man, and what

(01:35:05):
the fuck man, We'll pick a stipulation because why not?
Why not? What kind of match our Bret Hart and
the million Dollar Man going to have? It's going to be,
oh god, it's going to be a tables, ladders and
chairs match. That is not the stipulation that Brett Hart

(01:35:25):
and Teddy Biassi we're looking for. It doesn't really cater
to their strengths. We giveth the bell, we taketh away.
I'm like, when you start getting on a hot streak
in Vegas and you're like, you're feeling good, you know,
you want to keep going. I don't know when to quit.

(01:35:47):
You keep going and you lose everything. And that's exactly
what happened. Unbelievable. Uh, Terrible Dried Chicken says, you know
the worst thing with the bees did in the movie
mygro they killed Macaulay Culkin in that movie. Well he
made the mistake of kicking that beehive and he was allergic. So,

(01:36:10):
I mean, what did you expect was gonna happen there?
That was very sad. You know, I could watch that
movie back and when Dan Aykroyd, who ran the funeral
home when he gets the news and he has to
tell his daughter like I always tear up. It's a
very very sad scene. When is my record deal? I'm
in negotiations. As soon as I know more, I'll let

(01:36:33):
you guys know. Nick Rain's man has God it going down.
Nick Rain's mom has God love this time. We're working
on it, brother, We're working on it. Oh, we got
death Side. So according to Terrible Drive Chicken, we are

(01:36:54):
getting punk Seth Knight USO in a four way BDSM
dungeon match for the world title. Yeah, I think I'm
gonna skip that. Pl Thank you very much. And Joseph Stewart,
are you an Austin Powers fan and who is your
favorite Austin Power's character, Fat Bastard? Yeah? I think my

(01:37:16):
favorite Austin Powers scene is from the first movie where
that security guard or whatever he was is standing there
and Austin is He's in that roller and it's coming
towards him and he just stands there screaming and the
thing is like fifty feet away from him. He could

(01:37:36):
move out of the way, but he doesn't, and they're
like move He's just stand of there screaming, and then
he gets run over. I'm a big fan of that scene,
but fat Bastard would probably be my favorite character. That's
what Tony Storm said to Mercedes in that tag match

(01:37:58):
on Dynamite the other night. She was like, get in
my belly, terrible dried Chicken says, Just to be clear,
I want Punk Knight and Jay to give Seth Rollins
a good old fashioned butt whoop in it Clash in Paris,
No heat on you, Death's sythe what kind of whoop?

(01:38:19):
But are you talking about here? I think that's the
that's the question. Retro Koh solo, you sound like Yoshi
when you say whoo with that voice, I sound like Yoshi.
I was hated Yoshi in those games. What an annoying

(01:38:40):
little prick he is. And every time I would like
accidentally hit a button and jump out of him, he
runs away from me and then he runs off a
cliff like a fucking idiot. Fuck Yoshi. Useless character. One
of the most useless character in that game is Yoshi
bas Beers with the two bucks. Your stones are so cold,

(01:39:02):
Brett Hart to Steve Austin. Yeah, that's a famous episode
of roll Man. Your stones are Your stones are so cold?
You don't got the guts to come out here, followed
of course by Sid coming out and say, ah, Brett's
like you know it, and I know it. I should
be the champion, and Sid's like, I don't know shit,

(01:39:22):
cry baby. I'm like, there's an evergreen quote just Sid
saying I don't know shit. Well, it's like when Sid
on Nitro said I have half the brain that you do. Oh.
They don't make wrestling promos the way they used to.
They really don't. Yoshi is the best in Mario Kart.

(01:39:44):
I was so sad to see he wasn't in the
Super Mario Brothers movie. Well, he might be better in
Mario Kart, but he's still the most useless character in
most of those games. To me, I'll take Toad over Yoshi.

(01:40:05):
I'll take one of the gumbas over Yoshi. So Solo
does it like Yoshi because he can't stop hitting the
X butt, and that's possible. I'm telling you, every time
I hit this butt, he just runs away from me.
Toad is actually very I'll tell you what. Toad in
Mario Kart is has got some speed. I don't know

(01:40:26):
why people are hating on Toad. Lakers pats the media
doesn't have you in their NYC mayor pole yet. That's
a job. I don't want to run this city, no,
thank you. I think I'll pass. Would take up too

(01:40:50):
much of my time. Anyway. I need to be able
to stream Matt Fisher to this day. I still have
never had corn the long way. I just added that
last part. And you've never had corn. That's well. I mean,
I guarantee you've had corn. You just haven't had corn

(01:41:12):
in like raw form or corn on the cob. But
there's so much shit and chips and stuff that has
corn in it. I guarantee you've had corn in some form.
Doctor Scorpio can't support you know more for the Yoshi slander.
All right, Well, I love Yoshi. Yoshi is the best
character in Mario. All right, so now we got doctor

(01:41:34):
Scorpio back. Now we're all good bace beers. Sid actually
had a ton of hilarious Sid was awesome, man. I
mean when he came out and saw that Goldberg had
crushed his car and he stood there going Goldberg, how
can you not like Sid man? He was like, he's
the perfect pro wrestling character with that little orphan any haircut.

(01:41:58):
It was awesome. They tease Yoshi for the next Mario movie,
and Todd was my dude, Todd. Who's Todd? Who the
fuck is Todd? You mean Toad? Is that? Is that
Toad's name? Todd? Todd was my dude of Mario Kart

(01:42:19):
sixty four? Who the fuck is Todd? I can't get
behind a character named Todd. I'm sorry. Death Site says,
watch if Mario Kart was a reality TV show because
Toad is fantastic. Uh, Furious Nation, Todd is Toad's brother,

(01:42:48):
Todd the Toad. I think we just named Toad Todd
the Toad. I think we just figured it out. Oh Man,
Lakers Pats, Lakers Pats, thank you again for that one
before Furious Nation also Solo sending my condolences to JD
regarding his grandmother, thanking of him today. Yeah, oh, I

(01:43:11):
mentioned him on the podcast on Sunday. We're all sending
our thoughts and condolences to JD. We're all thinking about them.
Of course, we'll be talking on TNT tomorrow night. Tuesday
Night Titans episode one O eight, one O nine. We've
done so many of them at this point, I can
never keep track of what number we're up to. But

(01:43:33):
we should be live tomorrow night. Matt Fisher says no, lol,
Austin powers corn, I know what you meant, corn on
your foot? Like, what are you talking about here? Doctor
Scorpios says nah, I'm not fickle like wrestling fans. Good good,

(01:43:57):
they are very fickle. We're a fickle bunch. Terrible dried Chicken.
Yoshi will eat you up in Super Smash Brothers and
turn you into an egg. Not me. I've never played
Super Smash Brothers death site. It's on YouTube. There's two parts.

(01:44:20):
What are you talking about? Oh? Okay, I thought you
were presenting me with some scenario like if Mario Kart
was a reality TV show, that's an actual thing on YouTube.
If Mario Kart was a reality TV show. Oh, I
have to check this out. Well, I'm definitely gonna check

(01:44:43):
that out. I thought you were just making that up.
Base Beeri says Yoshi Toadstu and Terrible Dried Chicken Zaioli
against Hikarushida Stokely Hathaway as the referee. Yeah, it's still

(01:45:04):
not a Tony Kon Dream match though, not even the
original sixty four. Dude, I didn't have n sixty four
how could I play it? I never had N sixty four,
so no, I never never, never even the original version. No,
so as I said that sithe, Yes, it's great, you

(01:45:27):
won't regret it. I can't wait to check this out.
Is it like a whole she said, Well, he said
it's two parts. I was gonna say, is it like
a whole series of videos? I will check that out.
Did I ever have Dreamcasts? No? No, never had Dreamcast,
didn't have N sixty four, didn't have thirty two X

(01:45:50):
or I had the main ones. I had the you know,
Nintendo Super, Nintendo Genesis PlayStation, I had those game Boy
game gear. Like I said, tomorrow night, I will be
joining JD on his channel for Tuesday Night Titans. Wednesday
Night back here for the Dynamite post show. Friday is SmackDown.

(01:46:13):
I haven't even checked to see if it's air, if
I can watch it earlier with my VPN, or if
it's just going to be the usual time. I'll keep
you guys posted about that on social media. If I
can watch it earlier, I will go live around eight o'clock. Otherwise,
I'll go live at ten thirty as usual on Friday,
and then next Sunday is Clash at the Ck, Clash

(01:46:34):
at the Castle, Clash in Paris, Clash at the Castle
in Paris. That's a two pm Eastern start time, but
it'll be the same eight pm just like tonight, eight
o'clock Sunday night, which means the podcast is going up
a day early again. That'll be on Saturday, so just
to give you an update on the schedule and how
things are looking. And then Raw next Monday is in
