Speaker 1 (00:00):
An hour earlier now and for each of the next
two weeks. You can think Monday Night Football for that.
I like it. I hope it becomes a regular thing.
I have no issue at ross starting at seven Eastern
every week. But tonight was the final raw before Wressell Palooza.
Another week, another raw with La Knight losing in the

(00:22):
main event. Lost track at this point of how many
times that may It's nice that he's in the main event,
but he keeps losing all of these matches. And tonight,
to change things up a little bit, they had him
and Jimmy Usso as tag team partners. But it was
another La Night Vision main event. And this is becoming
just a recurring theme here on this show every single week.

(00:44):
So Jimmy was his tag team partner this time. At
least this time it was Jimmy who ate the pin
and not La Night. I don't know how many more
combinations of this that we can get. I really don't.
Tonight it was La Knight and Jimmy Usso against bron
Breaker and Bronson Reed. But we've got in so many
different combinations of singles and tags, you know, it's hard

(01:04):
to keep track. It all just sort of runs together.
It's like a blur after a while. But last week
jay Usso dropped him with a spear. They've been really
building these issues between jay Usso and La Knight. Tonight,
La and I got his revenge on jay Usso by
dropping him with a BFT to end the show. La
Knight has no match of Russell Palooza this weekend, jay

(01:26):
Usso does. Jay Uso and Jimmy are reuniting. They're going
to be taking on who else, bron Breaker and Bronson Reid,
and I think it stands to reason that there's a
decent chance anyway that we could end up seeing La
Knight on that show, so that story is continuing. We
had John Cena on the show tonight. He is Raw
exclusive now going forward until the end of this year.

(01:49):
He didn't really do much. This was the last real
hard sell at least from Sena because again he's not
supposed to be on SmackDown. So the last real hard
cell for the main event come out up on Saturday,
between John Cena and Brock Lesner, and we have yet
to get the two of them in the ring together
for any sort of back and forth on the microphone,

(02:10):
you know, what we've had is Brock Lesner laying him out,
ambushing him, dropping him with F five's Wede Brock on
SmackDown Friday night. That segment turned out to be a
complete waste of time. So Sena came out tonight and
Sena did what Sina does. He came out and he
gave the classic John Cena babyface raw Ross speech. And

(02:32):
that is the last bit of build for our big
main event of wrestl Palooza this weekend, CM Punk, aj Lee,
seth Rollins, Becky Lynch. They're going to be having a
mixed tag team Magic Wressel Polluz. So one of the
really if you think about attractions on that show, Sina
Lesner one last time Brock's returned to the ring. They're
building that as one major attraction. The other big attraction

(02:54):
is this match here the return of aj Lee to
the ring for the first time in over ten years.
So we had all four of them in the ring
tonight for one last face off to build to that
tag match. We had more drama on the show with
EO Sky and Osca as they continue to go back

(03:14):
and forth with each other and just they're not on
the same page and EO, of course, is the one
who has a big championship match coming up this weekend,
not Oscar, although Oscar wanted to be there. Oscar will
not be there now. But we had Stephanie Vakaier on
this show. She has been a ghost on Raw and
she not only was back on the show tonight, but
she actually wrestled the match. She didn't wrestle the match

(03:36):
at all in the month of August. We're already at
the midway point roughly here, actually exactly at the midway
point here in the month of September. So it was
nice to get Stephanie Vacaire back in the ring for
what ended up being honestly a really competitive, good match
with her and Kyrie Saint. I would dare say the
best match Kyrie Saint has had since she came back
to WWE. So that was actually one of the highlights

(03:59):
of the show tonight. Bailey is back no more videos.
She was actually back on the show tonight making the
safe for Lyra Valkyria. You know, when I say Bailey
was on the show tonight, the question really should be
which one. The answer is all of them. And we
also have a bit of news tomorrow night NXT is

(04:21):
back at Full Sale University. They're calling it NXT Homecomings.
A bunch of both faces that are going to be
on the show. Tyler Breeze is wrestling for the North
American title. Carmelo Hayes is back on the show. He's
going to be tagging with Trek Williams. But they it's
almost like the Avengers Assemble for the women were on

(04:41):
the show last week. They had Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton,
and Stephanie Vaquier side by side by side, and they
were supposed to wrestle Fatal Influence tomorrow night right, it
would be a fatal funeral for Fatal Influence. We learned
earlier today they had the NXT general manager Ava tweet
out Tiffany Stratton is off the show. Tiffany Stratton is

(05:02):
not medically cleared, which doesn't surprise me in the least.
If you saw her match with Jade Cargill on SmackDown
last week, and when she did that, moonsaal out of
the ring and kind of over rotated on the landing
and she smacked the back of her head on the floor. Instantly,
I thought, how is this woman not concussed? So they
didn't say what the nature of the injury was. There's

(05:25):
a pretty good chance that's what it is, or maybe
they're just holding her out for precautionary reasons. But she's
off the show tomorrow and so taking her place next
to Rhea and Stephanie will be Lyra Valkyria, who herself
is a former NXT Women's champion, so it makes sense.
So that's the little news update there. But we'll talk
about this Raw show, which I enjoyed. I like Raw.

(05:48):
This week we'll talk about the whole show here. This
is your Raw on Netflix review. It is Monday night,
September fifteenth, twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster.
Thank you for being with me. Liking some debscribe superchats
are open. We need four hundred likes minimum here on
the stream to do be the booker, which we have
not done in a week. So hit that like button

(06:11):
if you would be so kind. I'll be reading your
superchats as we go along here. I want to take
a moment here to plug the sound off from this weekend.
Episode nine to twenty nine went up yesterday. A lot
of news covered got some good feedback on that show.
So if you missed the full podcast, please go back
and check that out tomorrow. I also want to take
a moment here just to say thank you for all

(06:33):
of the very kind messages people have sent me over
the last twenty four hours or so, twenty four to
thirty six hours. Yeah, I gave you guys an update
at the beginning of the show yesterday. I got a
little family situation going on here. This whole weekend has
just been a bit of a shit show. But just
to kind of sum it up, very close family member

(06:56):
had a very bad accident this weekend, was rushed to
the hospital. Is still in the hospital, had to undergo
very serious, very long, twelve hour operation, and it went
as well as as can be expected, but by no
means is she out of the woods yet. So I'm
still trying to keep up with updates. I got my

(07:18):
phone on here, you know, just trying to figure out,
you know, what's going on, and trying to stay on
top of things. But it's just a very just a
very bad situation right now. So I've had that on
my mind. So it was good to just take my
mind off things for a couple of hours yesterday with
the podcast and so hopefully you guys enjoyed the show,

(07:39):
but thank you for all of the kind messages. I
very much appreciate it, and I'll keep you guys posting
on what's going on. But yeah, we're just sort of
in this weird period of just not knowing how this
is all going to turn out. So hopefully we'll get
some clarity on that the next couple of days. But

(08:02):
let's talk about this raw show tonight. That is what
we are here for, so we will start here from
the top. They opened the show tonight with all of
the usual shots of people fake walking into the building,
and they pitched it to footage from the end of
last week's show, all the issues between Jay Usso and

(08:23):
La Knight, that whole story that's been building over the
last several weeks. They came back and they're still playing
that Travis Scott song, right, so we hear more of
this raw theme song, and they show the ussos and
they're fake walking for the camera into the building until
La Knight shows up and he shoves Jay and they

(08:44):
had to be separated. Adam Pierce yelled at them, told
them that he wanted to see them in his office
like he was mister Belding from Saved by the Bell,
you know, sending them to the principal's office. So that's
how we started the show. Now the crowd, you could
hear the and the crowd was already loudly chanting for

(09:04):
John Cena. They were in Springfield, Massachusetts tonight, so I
don't know how far West Newberry is from Springfield, but
they were in his home state. Obviously very pro John
Cena crowd. They were ready for him to make his
way out. They also we didn't get the usual raw
stage that we get because they sold so many tickets

(09:26):
for the show, they decided to sell as many as
they could, so in lieu of the usual raw stage,
it was a very modified, very simple setup, very similar
to what they used for some of the ples. So
John Cena made his entrance, everybody goes nuts. He comes
down to the ring and he points at the ring

(09:48):
announcer outside, Alicia Taylor, and she gives him the usual
big introduction as the greatest of all time, the last
real champion. Sena then recall playing football over at Springfield College.
He said that he played offensive line, so he never
made the newspaper. He said that as an offensive Lineman,

(10:08):
you get your ass kicked, and then you come back
the next day and you get your ass kicked again.
He said that he had teammates in the venue tonight.
He also had a niece, Ashlyn, who could not be
there for her birthday, but he wished her a very
happy birthday and said that he would see her later
in the week. Don says, two hours from Springfield to

(10:29):
West Newbery, so there you go. Not exactly close, but
close enough. So he said he's got a pretty tall
hill to climb this weekend. The last real Champion is
a phrase that means a lot to him, and on
Saturday Brock Lesnar wants to end it. So the fans
started a fuck you Lesnar chant which Netflix censored. Seenas

(10:52):
said Netflix, they're saying, talk to Lesnar, talk to Lesner,
So that's what he was going to do. He'll talk
to him. He said he's had matches with Brock before,
some of the toughest challenges that he's ever faced. Why
didn't he say no when Lesner challenged him? The fans
at this point start chanting whoop his ass, whoop his ass,

(11:12):
and Sina says, if he says no, he could keep
his health. You know, he could lean into some backstage politics,
maybe call in a favor. The only person that would
really be mad is Brock. He says he would be smart.
He's only got six appearances left, saying no is safe
and easy, and the fans started saying thank you. Cina.

(11:34):
Cina says, see, that's why, that's why I had to
say yes. In all of his days here, he fought
all of his battles in the ring. Being the last
real champion is leaving this place better than he found it.
Someone who doesn't take his ball and go home and
conducts himself with hustle, loyalty and respect. And he asked,
you know, am I afraid of Brock? Lesner says, yes,

(11:57):
I am. He says could, I says yes I could.
Will I back down? Will I give up? Hell no.
So we will take the fight to the beast, because
that is what we do. Scena said he doesn't give
a damn how many supplexes are in his city. He
said he founded sup Plex City and he has taken

(12:18):
Lesnar's best shots for twenty years. Seen it pointed out
a fan in the crowd at a sign that said
his jorts are stronger than Brock's jeans. So, if you
missed SmackDown on Friday night, Brock split his pants. Still
don't quite know how that happened. Again, we're talking jeans

(12:42):
split him right down the back after he gave our
truth in f five. So that and that was the
highlight of what Brock did on SmackDown Friday Night, which
if you didn't see the show, that gives you a
sense of how riveting that segment was. So he pointed
out that sign and he said that he will see
Brock in Indianapolis. This was a perfectly fine promo in

(13:05):
front of a crowd that very much wanted to see
John Cena the last time he's going to be making
an appearance here in Springfield. He's on tour, he's playing
the hits. He came out. He gave a classic old
school babyface John Cena promo, no frills, just talking about
hustle and loyalty and respect and all the shit that

(13:25):
he usually talks about. I won't give up, I won't
back down. I thought Tom Petty was going to start
playing the PA system and that he'll see Brock in Indianapolis.
That was it. Nobody came out. I was almost hoping
they would do something similar to what they did on
SmackDown when Sammy's aim came out. Maybe somebody else on

(13:45):
Raw would come out. We would get, you know, a
raw match. I don't fault them for not doing that,
because God forbids Seena gets hurt. That would be a disaster.
So better to just play it safe at this point
and just make sure he's healthy for the show on Saturday.
I was hoping though, that this segment would pack more

(14:06):
punch than it did. It would have been nice to
get something with Cina and Lesner on the show together.
I know Brock's promos are not exactly his strong suit.
You know, he's had a few gems over the years,
but he's not John Cena on the mic. So if
you have a promo battle, if you have a back
and forth on the mic between Brock and John Cena,

(14:29):
we know who's winning that. So maybe they just didn't
want to go in that direction. I don't know, but
it just feels like with the build to this match,
over all these weeks, really since SummerSlam, since Brock came back,
they have taken the path of least resistance. They've taken
the simplest possible route that you could take, and they're
just really building this match off the backs of their names.

(14:54):
John Cena is a big star. Every John Cena match is,
you know, leading up to his last match. Every John
Cena match is supposed to be a big deal. Brock
is back and it's his first match in over two years,
so the match sells itself and to some extent that's true,
but it would still it would have been nice to
get a little bit more than just the bare bones,

(15:15):
and that's what they gave us. They coasted along and
they gave us the bare bones. So there's really not
much else to say about what was said here. Sena
did what he could, you know, to get the crowd
amped up for the match on Sunday, and that's your
main event. They went bare bones for the main event
of this show. They also mentioned that Sena is going

(15:37):
for his one hundredth pl E win with this match
with Brock. He will not set the record. The record
is the Undertaker. He's got one oh seven seen it
doesn't have enough matches left, but he could get to
one hundred with a win over Brock this weekend. Yeah,
phoning it in, I mean, that's that's what it is.
They phoned in the bill to this match. However, the

(15:59):
match it sells, turns out on Saturday, and I actually
think it could end up being a really good match,
or maybe more of a spectacle than a match. Is irrelevant.
They phoned it in. That's exactly what they did. They
phoned it in. I think the most ridiculous part was
on Friday when Brock showed up and the whole premise
of the segment with our Truth was have you seen John?

(16:22):
Where's John? And Truth was like, he's not here, I
haven't seen him. When John Cena himself on the show
one week earlier flat out announced like I'm done on SmackDown.
I have no more Smackdowns left. You will not see
me on SmackDown ever again, she had Brock show up
on SmackDown to waste one of his own dates by

(16:43):
asking where's John Cena. It's very silly. It's just very silly,
and it is what it is now. Adam Pierce was
inside his office with Jay Usso in La Night Night
was very upset with Jay spearing him at the end
of the show. Show last week, Jay said that it
was a receipt for What Night did to him. So

(17:06):
Pierce said that they have one of the biggest events
of the year coming up this weekend. How can we
keep the peace. You've got to keep the piece on
this show. Please tell me how can we keep the peace?
So Knight said he would be willing to put all
of this aside for now if Pierce gave him a
match with bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and I I'm

(17:32):
sitting here, I'm just like it truly feels like I'm
living in the twilight Zone. I just wrote like in
my notes, I wrote twilight Zone. I could hear the
music in my head, like here we go again. So
Pierce said, fine, but you're not doing it alone. You
need to go find a partner, and Knight chose Jimmy Usso,

(17:53):
who wasn't here in this segment, but he said he
was picking Jimmy and Jay was not happy about that
at all. So after this, we had Lyra Valkyria one
on one with Roxanne Perez. Raquel Rodriguez was out there.
She tripped up Lyra early in the match from the floor,
so the referee ejected her from ringside. Roxanne then applied

(18:15):
to cradle The referee missed it though, because he was
still arguing with Raquel trying to get her to leave.
So after she left, Roxanne yanked Valkyria off the top turnbuckle.
She took control of the match. Later on, Perez cut
off Valkyria's comeback. She applied a cross face. Lyra though
power to her feet and she hit her night wing

(18:36):
finish to pick up the wind. Now, after the match
was over, Raquel reappeared and she attacked Lyra in the aisle.
Raquel takes Lyra back to the ring mows her down
with a big boot. Roxanne follows with pop rocks Bailey's
music hits. I don't think they played the role model part.

(18:57):
Maybe the best thing to come out of this would
be if they change her theme song or better yet,
when she comes out, if she comes out as the
old bait, like the old Bailey, they could play her
old you know theme song from NXTA. I'll take that
over what she comes out to now. But they I
think they cut the opening part. Out Here comes Bailey.

(19:18):
She sprinted down to the ring faster than I have
seen her. Knees carry her in forever. She ran down
to the ring and she was wearing an AJ Lee
shirt by the way, she attacked Raquel backsupplex to Roxanne.
Then she countered a Raquel supplex attempt into an Orange

(19:38):
Cassidy stun Dog Millionaire, and then she sent Raquel shoulder
first into the ring post and she tumbled out to
the floor. So then she hit a belly to Bailey
on Roxanne. Lyra is sitting on the mat and she
is looking up and she's just dumbfounded by this. She
doesn't know what to make of all this, and Bailey,

(19:59):
who it was very happy. All of a sudden, she
looks over at Lyra and she gets this stern look
on her face, and then she snapped out of it.
She ran outside. She turned into hugger Bailey. She went
over to the announced desk. She hugged Joe Tessitur. She
hugged Corey Grave. I think she gave him a kiss
on the head. She went over and hugged Alicia Taylor.

(20:23):
She was hugging fans in the front row. She hugged
one of the security people at ringside. She hugged the referee,
and then she ran to the back and Lyra was
just confused by the entire thing. Now in the back.
Later in the show, skipping ahead to a segment that
came later ties into this, though later in the show,

(20:45):
Valkyria is walking towards Bailey's dressing room and we can
hear Bailey having a conversation with somebody or screaming at somebody,
and Lyra's trying to eavesdrop on what's going on, and
it turns violent, like we heard something hit the door.
So Valkyria very hesitantly slowly pushes the door open. She

(21:07):
walks in, and she finds Bailey is just sitting on
the couch with her phone in her hand, scrolling through
her phone as if everything we just heard never even happened.
So she's still nervous, and Lyra just wanted to thank
her for the assist Earlier. Bailey stood up and yelled
at Lyra for barging into her dressing room without knocking.

(21:30):
What if I was in the middle of changing, what
if I had company here? She thanked Lyra for showing
her that idiots still exist, and then yelled at her
to stay out of her locker room. Okay, so split
personality it is. It seemed to be going that way,
but now we know for sure that's the direction The

(21:51):
story is going. It's what I said several weeks ago
after that very first video aired in one of these reviews,
I said, you know what would be cool if you
can have Bailey come out on the same show as
a babyface, like in one segment, but then later in
the show in another segment, she's a heel. You know,
She's like Hugger Bailey, all nice and everything in one

(22:14):
segment and a complete bitch later in the show in
another segment. And I think that's the direction that they're
taking this story, where she's gonna go back and forth.
It's interesting to see how they're going to handle it.
It's the most interest that I've been in a story
with Bailey probably in the years. Right, it all depends

(22:35):
on how it plays out. It is very over the top.
I'm not saying it's not goofy. It is goofy, but
I hope they don't play it off in a goofy way,
if that makes sense. I do think that there's a
more serious, way, more sinister way that you can play
this off. I do think that in the end, she'll
probably be more of a heel than anything else, or

(22:55):
she'll go heel out of this. But Lyra was just
terrified by all this shit she did. Again, she didn't
know whether to make heads or tails about the whole thing.
But at least now we're getting we're moving this story
forward and we'll see I mean again, I'm interested to
see what direction they take this in. Is Bailey going
to show up one week to the old Hugger Bailey
theme song with you know, pigtails and everything and really

(23:16):
take it old school? Because if that's the case, I
think that she should show up as a surprise on
the NXT Homecoming Show tomorrow, unannounced, hit her music, let
her come out and start hugging people. How do you
not have Bailey on the NXT Homecoming Show? Right? She
should be there. I don't know if she will be,
but seems like a perfect opportunity to dust off the

(23:39):
old music and the old gimmick and have her show
up tomorrow. They could have some fun with this. Today's
episode is sponsored by Betterhelp. This is the perfect time
for me to be talking about this because we just
had the return of aj Lee in WWE, and she
was in the ring on Raw last week talking about
how helpful therapy has been for her. They even had

(23:59):
ten one thousand people in the stands chanty therah pee
theirrah pee. That's a first. I've never heard anything like
that before. But therapy does deserve to be cheered because
it can help you in so many different ways. And
people may turn to some funny places for support, whether
it's your barber, the cashier behind the counter, and a
random stranger in the bathroom, but not everyone is a therapist. Instead,

(24:22):
get guidance from a credential therapist online with better Help.
I'll do the same thing. I'll turn to friends sometimes
for advice on how to solve those problems that life
froze at you. But there's a difference between that and
talking to a therapist. Therapists are clinically trained and credentialed,
and they're far more equipped to help you tackle whatever
may be troubling you and affecting your quality of life.

(24:43):
Better Help has been helping people find the right match

(25:48):
EO Sky and Stephanie Vicaire. We were supposed to get
a contract signing on the show last week. Stephanie was
not on the show last week, so she was thankfully
back tonight and they made he made their Women's World
Championship match official for Wressell Palooza. They each wished each
other luck. Osca and Kyrie sayin show up, and Oscar

(26:12):
got in Stephanie's face and told her that she wasn't
ready for EO. Stephanie told her to get out of
her face, so Osca made like she was about to
make a match with her and Stephanie, but instead she said,
tonight you will face Kyrie and this was news to Kyrie,
saying she was not prepared for this, but she said, okay,
I'm ready. Yeah, she was squaring up like she was

(26:35):
ready to go, and Oscar giggled as she left, and
then of course off camera yelled for Kyrie. This has
turned in It's turned into like a meme now. It
is one of the funnier parts of the show now
every week when she does that, and then Kyrie just
very sheepishly you know, SLINKs off. Elsewhere, la Night met

(26:57):
with Jimmy usso made the pitch gonna be my tag
team partner tonight. Jimmy didn't think it was a good
idea for them to team up, and Knight said that
he could trust Jimmy after what happened last week. Jimmy
said Knight is putting him in a very difficult spot
and he politely declined, telling him that he's going to
have to find another partner, and I'll be honest with you,

(27:19):
at this point I thought that maybe John Cena was
going to be the partner, because when that segment was
over at the beginning of the show, I still was
left feeling like, that's it. You know, you hyped up
John Cena was going to be on the show. He
had a very basic promo and really, he's not gonna
come out again for the rest of the night, And
no he didn't. But in that moment, I thought, Okay,

(27:40):
maybe the reason that they had him open the show
and it was a very quick, very basic segment, They're
going to bring him back for the very end. Maybe
Brock will make a surprise appearance and fucking f five
him again at the end of the show. It didn't
work out that way, though, but in this moment I
was thinking, Okay, there's really nobody else that makes sense
for the spot. You send Sena out there, because the

(28:02):
remember Night and Sena were tag team partners once before
a few years ago, so wouldn't have been all that
crazy to see them teamed up again here tonight. But
we had Penta. He went one on one with Kofi
Kingston and before that, the New Day got their obligatory

(28:23):
commercial segment every week the New Day if they if
they're not on the show, and even if they are
on the show, they always do something off the air
during commercial, so this was no different. Xavier Woods and
Grayson Waller they wanted the Mexican Destroyer band. They've been
going around getting signatures on a petition to try to
get the move banned. Kingston set or Woods rather, who

(28:45):
did not wrestle on the World's Collide Show on Friday
like he was supposed to, so Grayson Waller took his
place with KOFE. Woods said that he was injured and
I love the image he posted online. He said he
was injured by dropping him on his head the week
before and he had I forgot the name of it.
It's some sort of medical procedure where they remove some

(29:08):
sort of like piece of his head piece of his skull.
And it was funny because he showed the images right
up close images of the back of his head and
I'm looking and I'm like, you look at the images.
There's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with his head. But
then he shows the chunk that they supposedly took out
of his head, and I'm looking at this thing and
I say, boy, it really looks like a wing from Wingstop,

(29:31):
which is what they did. They fucking took a wing
from Wingstop and they tried to make it out to
be a piece of his skull. He said he had
to have open head surgery last week as a result
of what Penta did to him. Kingston said, his home state,
because he is right, He's from Massachusetts. He said his
home state should be cheering him, but he understood because

(29:53):
his part of the state has much more money than
this piss hole city does. And Kingston called Peer a
bald tyrant told the fans that they should thank God
for him. So pent to chase Kofee around. At the
beginning of this, he super kicked him out of the
ring and then he dove out onto him on the floor.

(30:14):
Penta jumped up to do a springboard Kofee, though kicked
him off the apron. Grayson Waller got chopped. Kofe then
delivered a PK to Penta and then he hit a
frog splash off the apron across Penta's back on the
floor that took us into a commercial. Late in the match,
the Penta driver got blocked, Kofe ripped it the mask

(30:34):
and he hit an SOS for two. Penta was setting
up for the Mexican Destroyer late when Woods got up
on the apron. Grayson Waller entered from behind. He tried
to be very covert about it, but he ended up
eating a superkick. Woods then got knocked off the apron
and Penta hit a springboard into a Destroyer for the pin.

(30:56):
That was a great finish. It was a solid match otherwise,
but the finish was great when it was over. I'm
just left wondering where too next for Penta. I feel
like I've been asking his question for weeks, but especially
now you know he gets the win tonight, and it's like,
you know, where too next with him, especially if they're

(31:16):
not going to bring Ray Phoenix over to Raw, which
I again I think they absolutely should do. That would
be the logical move to make, especially now that we
know Ray Phoenix no longer has a tag team partner
on SmackDown. But they seemingly answered my question. Later on
in the show, Dominic, Mysterio was being interviewed by Byron

(31:36):
Saxton and he had his Intercontinental title around his waist.
He had his brand new Triple A Mega Championship over
his shoulder that he won from the Kingo Worlds collide
on Friday. He's a double champion right now, and he
says from now on he wants to be referred to
as the Mega Intercontinental Champion. As he's being interviewed, we
hear a commotion and they rush over to find Penta

(31:58):
on the ground writhing in pain being assaulted by New
Day with a chair until the Viking Raiders show up
and they chase the New Day away. So it looks
like pent is gonna need some help. He doesn't seem
to need help to win matches. He seems to have
the New Day all on his own. He is really
need help to beat the New Day, but they keep

(32:18):
having the New Day attack this guy. And so again,
the opening is right there. The opening is right there.
Bring Ray Phoenix over to Raw. He's the help that
Penta could use, and we can get some actual tag
team matches out of it, and maybe Ray Phoenix will
stand a fighting chance on the main roster. Penta at
least gets pretty consistent time on TV. I cannot say

(32:41):
the same for Ray Phoenix. Penta does not need Phoenix,
although I think right now he could definitely use him
because even Penta, they just don't seem to have anything
great for him to do. But Ray Phoenix definitely could
benefit by being linked up with Penta more so than
the other way around. Jay Usso was talking to someone

(33:01):
on the phone. Jimmy Usso showed up. He wants to
know who you talking to, and Jay said, no, don't
worry about it. Intrigue who is he talking to? Jay
tells Jimmy that he has to say no to La Knight.
La Knight's gonna come over to you. He's gonna want
you to be his tag team part He has no
idea that he already did talk to him, but he says,

(33:23):
you cannot be his tag team partner. Jimmy looked like
he forgot what he was supposed to say here. I
think that's what happened. I think they shot this live.
He forgot what he was supposed to say. He paused
for a while, then Jay started speaking, was tripping over
his words, but he was able to sort of pick
things back up. And Jimmy says he already told La no,

(33:44):
but he's not going to be taking orders from Jay
like he's one of his kids. The last time Jimmy checked,
there was no ulafalla around your neck. And Jimmy stormed
off after a break. We saw where he went because
Jimmy approached l A Night again and said, hey, still
looking for a partner Night, So well, you know, I

(34:05):
don't want to put you in a bad position, And
Jimmy told Knight, I'm in so out of spite. I
know this because I've done this with my own brother before,
where out of just nothing but spite, he decided to
accept as La Knights tag team partner. He spited his brother.

(34:25):
That's a real thing. I'll do something that I don't
necessarily want to do just to spite somebody else. That's
what Jimmy did here. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, they
were out next for the big face off for Russell Palooza.

(34:47):
Seth was about to say the name of the city,
but they were chanting something very nasty at him, so
he says, oh, no, actually, I think they were chanting
for cmpunk. They chanted nasty things at him later, but
they we were busy chanting for cmpunk. And he said,
you know, I was going to come out here and
say the name of your little stupid town, but I'm
going to ignore you and instead I'll address the viewing

(35:08):
audience out there on Netflix. And he welcomed everyone to
Monday Night Rollins, and he went on his little rant
about how he's a revolutionary and he's a visionary and
all of these things that he's not, but he says
it every week. And he went through all the nickname
Seth Freakin Rollins, blah blah blah. And he has the

(35:29):
honor and privilege of introducing our women's Intercontinental Champion, a
New York Times bestseller, WrestleMania main eventor the best to
ever do it big time becks the man Becky Freakin Lynch.
It's a lot of names, so the fans don't show

(35:50):
respect they're chanting for even though he said show some respect,
they chant for aj Lee instead. Becky has a lot
to say about her. She's not going to talk about
people behind their backs though, like CM Punk, She's gonna
say it to her face. So then we hear, let's
light it up and outcomes not only aj Lee, but

(36:11):
outcomes a CM Punk. AJ skips down to the ring.
Punk does not. Punk introduces himself as AJ's husband, which
gets an AJ's husband chant from the crowd, they should
turn that into a T shirt. Punk starts with Becky
said he made a career out of telling people what
they thought of them to their face. He's overwhelmed at

(36:32):
what to say about these two goops. Punk says they
brag about the best, being the best wrestling couple, but
they can't even get on the same page. Said we
had to listen to two crappy songs, whereas Punk had
no issue putting punk punk of personality, Yes, Punk of personality,
taking Punk of Personality and putting it on the shelf,
not cult of personality. We're gonna call it punk of personality.

(36:55):
He had no issue putting that on the shelf and
coming out to AJ's theme song. The other apparently they
had to come out to their own separate songs. He
says they also share a brain cell and a wardrobe.
Can they share the spotlight? Will they be a happily
married tag team, or will they allow their egos to
get in the way. Seth says that Punk wants to

(37:17):
talk about egos. He's the most selfish human being that
Seth has ever met. But Seth's going to do something
that hurts him. I can't believe he's gonna do this.
It's gonna make all the fans happy. He's going to
give CM Punk credit. Says that Aj is the best
decision that Punk has ever made in his entire life,
his personal life. Inserting AJ into this is the decision

(37:40):
that he is going to regret for the rest of
his days. AJ says, that was your mistake. I wouldn't
have I wouldn't even be here right now if you
didn't use your wife as a human shield. So Becky says,
nobody expected AJ to come back. What's it been ten years.
I didn't expect you to come back. Nobody expected you
to act come back. What she really can't believe is

(38:04):
how irresponsible CM Punk is. Punk cares about just three
things in his entire life. Number one CM Punk, Number two,
her husband's World heavyweight championship, and to be fair. Number three.
He cares deeply about aj Lee and Becky says she
read AJ's book and she wonders how she's feeling physically.

(38:29):
In her book, AJ talks about the damage that was
done to her neck. Punk got into a blood feud
with someone over a bracelet that had AJ's name on it.
So how will he feel when she punches AJ's facin.
Becky says she's the greatest of all time. Everyone says it.
I love how this has turned into a thing now

(38:50):
in all of her promos where she says I'm the
greatest of all time. But it's not just me saying it.
And she immediately mentioned Sports Illustrated. She said Sports Illustrated
says so. ESPN says, so, I'm not saying so, says
AJ is a liability, not an asset. AJ thanks Becky

(39:10):
for reading her book. She says, I didn't read yours.
Becky made a good point, though AJ doesn't know how
her neck is going to hold up on Saturday. She
says it's been ten years since she's taken a bump
in the ring, and AJ references Becky's constipated looking face. AJ,
though says I won two titles with a damaged neck.

(39:33):
It's not quite kurd angle, you know, winning an Olympic
gold medal with a broken freaking neck. But AJ just
trying to convey, look, I won multiple championships on this
damage neck. She says she's erratic, she can make rash decisions.
She's a Puerto Rican from New Jersey, so sometimes she
has to Shanka chick. Seth says that he might not

(39:54):
be able to predict Aj, but he can read Punk
like a book. He says that Punk has a nasty
habit of life when things let him down. When his
wife rips Aj to shreds, she better hope that Punk
doesn't leave her too, And at that point that was
too much for Aj. She slapped Seth across the face.

(40:15):
Seth says he never puts his hands on a lady,
but thankfully he has someone who will, so, stealing Punk's
line from the other week. And he was waiting and
he was looking back and motioning for Becky to do something,
and Becky just looked like she was pissed at him,
like wait, what, this is not what we discussed. What

(40:36):
are you talking about? And this is not part of
the plant. And they start arguing, and Becky leaves the
ring and Seth is looking outside and he as Becky
is going to leave. He's yelling down at her and
telling her to come back. So Seth turns to Punk
and Pie faces him. This actually came off very badly

(40:59):
because he Pie faces Punk right, and Punk hates this man. Right.
They're supposed to hate each other. He puts his hands
on him, He pie faces the guy, and then he
goes to leave the ring. And it's not like you know,
he was out of the ring instantly. Punk could have
gone at him, he could have charged at him, he
could have grabbed him. He just lets him leave the ring.

(41:21):
It just made him look it just made him look
so foolish. So Punk follows him out of the ring,
but he allows him to exit the ring, and then
he follows him out of the ring. But it was
all a setup because in the ring, what AJ doesn't
see is that Becky sneaks back into the ring behind
her and plants her with a man handle slam, actually

(41:43):
one of the better looking man handle slams that Becky
has ever done. That's the benefit of doing it to
somebody as tiny as Aj. It looks devastating. So Punk
gets back in the ring. Becky is right up in
his face, she's laughing. He can't do anything about it.
She smacks him again. He can't retaliate that those are
the rules in WWE, you not allowed. So all he

(42:06):
can do is just stand there and just look at her.
And Becky exits the ring and Seth and Becky taunt
them both from the aisleway. That was a long recap
of the segment, if it felt that way, because it
was a long segment. It was overly long. It definitely
started to drag, probably around the midway point. Honestly, this
did not need to go as long as it did,

(42:27):
but I thought it was an effective way of setting
up AJ's neck as a potential point of weakness in
the tag team match, which is the first time they
had brought up her neck issues on TV. I brought
it up on the podcast a few weeks ago. That's
why I was surprised when I heard that not only
was she back, but she was back with a full time,

(42:48):
multi year contract. Full time being the key words, because
it was only two or three years ago that AJ
was doing interviews where she said that the reason that
we will never see her back in the ring at
all is because of her neck. She did have very
bad neck issues when she left in twenty fifteen, and
by taking all those years so I don't know if

(43:09):
she ever had surgery, but she took all that time off.
She said, you'll never see me back in the ring.
Because I was lucky enough. I was fortunate enough to
get out before those problems got really bad, and it's
just not something I want to risk. And she said,
even to this day, like she still gets numbness down
her arms into her hands, So that's a real thing.

(43:32):
It's not a storyline injury. But that was one of
the reasons why I was surprised. So oh, full Time said,
that's interesting. So yeah, I mean, look, I thought it
was an effective segment. It is one of the big
two attractions on the show this week. It really is
all about Lesnar Sina and this match here. There's some
other big matches in the car, but these are the

(43:52):
two really big ones, and there's going to be the
natural curiosity about how AJ looks in the ring actual match.
I think, you know, the smart thing to do would
be to actually have Punk in the ring, taking most
of the beating, to build to the hot tag to AJ,
you know, and try to limit the amount of time
that she spends in the ring. But if you're gonna

(44:13):
put her in the ring, there's really nobody better for
her to be in the ring with than someone like Becky.
You know, Becky is obviously one of the top stars
in that entire division. She's been there for a while,
she knows what she's doing. She's had some great matches
this year, so you know, as far as her output,
she's still one of the best that they have in
the women's division. Punk and Rollins, I mean, they've worked

(44:36):
together so many times this year at this point, you
know what you're gonna get from the two of them.
But this is all about aj you know. And now
they're incorporating the neck into the story of the match,
which I think is smart. I think that makes sense.
So after this, we had Dragonly against El Grande Americano.

(44:59):
Dragon attacks right away, right out of the gate with
a shotgun dropkick, and then Lee vaults onto Americano's shoulders. Americano, though,
hits a TKO on the way down for two. How
very appropriate. I wonder how much they charge for that move.
So Lee ron is Americano from the apron all the

(45:19):
way down to the floor. Americana lies on. He gets up.
He's lying now on like the top part of the
announced desk, and in the ring, Dragon Lee is getting
ready to fly, and so he hits the ropes. He
comes off and he flies through the ropes like an
incoming missile. Right onto Americano that takes us into a

(45:39):
commercial break. Americana was going for the mask. As they
came back, Lee hit a German suplex. We got an
exchange of chops here between these two men. As somewhere
in Calgary, Alberta, another small little piece of Brett Hart's
soul withers away. There's a lager bomb by dragon Lye

(46:02):
that only got two. Americano got crouched on the top rope,
ended up in a tree of woe. So Dragon hit
the double stump for another two count. Lee goes for
Americano's mask, and all of a sudden there is another
Americano Americano Dos from the apron kicks dragonly There was

(46:25):
a blockbuster that got two for Americano Americano Kaiser. Here
comes aj Styles. He's seen enough of this. He comes
down to the ring and Americano Dos sees him coming,
and he gets down and he crawls underneath the ring.
Aj walks around to the side where the announcers are,

(46:46):
and Joe Tessitur and Corey Graves they snitch him out
and they're pointing and saying he's there. He's there. He
went under the ring, so aj goes under the ring
after him, and they ended up. They came out on
the other side. He ends up tossing Dose over the
barricade when Americano number three appears and he hits Styles

(47:08):
with a Tornado DDT on the floor. So Dose reappears
and then knocks Dragon Lee off the top rope, and
Americano Kaiser locks in some sort of straight jacket hold
and submits Dragon Lee to win the match. After the
match was over all the Americanos, all three of them
are celebrating outside the ring. Uno Dos and Trees all

(47:32):
standing there outside of the ring. They did the Spider
Man Point two and three were quite clearly Pete Dunn
and Tyler Bait under the masks. Pete Dunn for sure,
but I'm almost positive the other one was Tyler Bait.
This gimmick, you know, it's very interesting when you look
at the Judgment Day, for example, the Judgment Day has

(47:55):
been going on now for so long. Judgment Day has
been around now for a few years. It's gone through
a few different incarnations. I feel like it's become the
gimmick on raw where they can plug if they wanted to,
they could constantly plug in a new member here, a
new member there as a way to introduce somebody new,

(48:16):
as a way to try to get somebody new over.
Finn Balor is obviously a vet. He's sort of the
leader of the group. I mean, they don't technically have
a leader right now, I guess, but that's basically the
role he's in. We can see the judgment day around
for another two, three, four years and just rotate new
people in and out right. Roxane Perez is the latest one.

(48:38):
This gimmick here with the Americanos has turned into something
where they can plug in people. They could put people
under the mask that they don't have any other real
plans for. So you look Ludwig Kaiser. They were doing
nothing with him, and then Chad Gable got hurt and
there was an opportunity to keep the gimmick alive by

(49:01):
putting somebody else under the mask. He got lucky. They
gave him the call. He's working more now under the
fucking mask than he was when he was just Ludwig Kaiser,
Pete Dunn, Tyler, Bait, the New Catch Republic. Where have
they been right? Well, put them under the mask. They
could be dose and trace. It gives them something to do.

(49:24):
In a way, it's kind of sad that this is
what they've come up with for them to do. But
this has become a gimmick where you can take people
who are sitting and catering and are not being used
and throw them under a mask. That's really what this
has become. Kaiser done and bait. At least they have
something to do, and I think what they're gonna do
here is they have to drag this out at least

(49:45):
until Chad Gable is ready to come back, and then
at that point you can have the feuding americanos. Gable
probably won't be back at least until the end of
the year, so this is not going anywhere. We may
see an Americano number four to five. And before we
get Chad Gable back, we had Stephanie Vakaier one on

(50:07):
one with Kyrie Saine. Is Dragonov coming back? So Dragon well,
you know I mentioned uh I mentioned Dragonov on the
podcast this weekend. There there's a report from bodyslam dot
net that there has been a creative idea floated for
him to work a program with Russev, so it's not confirmed,

(50:30):
there was just an idea being discussed. I mean, those
matches I think would be pretty good. So I'm fine
if that's their way of reintroducing him. But no, he's
another example we may have. We may have an Ilia
Dragonov ending up under an Americano mask. They're gonna have
a whole faction of these guys. Watch them bring him

(50:50):
back as one of the Americanos. Stephanie Vicaire against Kyrie
say Rhea Ripley walked up to Stephanie in the back
before she was about to go out and told her,
I'm coming for the winner of your match on Saturday,
and Stephanie says, I'm ready. Oh, I think we're already.

(51:13):
Whether it's in whether it's in Perth, or whether it's WrestleMania,
I think we're all ready for that match. So both
women threw simultaneous dropkicks. Kyrie applauded her and then offered
a handshake, which Stephanie accepted. OSCA is watching this on
the outside. OSCA is not happy about that. So a

(51:34):
little while later, Kyrie slid to the floor tried to
power bomb Stephanie off the apron. Stephanie stuffed that and
then dropped a double knees on Kyrie that took us
into a commercial, so Stephanie went for a sup plex.
Kyrie countered into a DDT. Kyrie went up top for
an insane elbow. Stephanie, though, popped up and punched her.

(51:56):
Stephanie joined her on the ropes. Kyrie was able to
head butt her who Stephanie then ended up in a
tree of woe. It was a second match in a
row where they did this spot by the way upside down.
In the tree of woe, Kyrie hit a double stomp,
covered Stephanie only for two. Kyrie threw two backfists, Stephanie
ducked a third, oscar pulled Kyrie to the floor. Stephanie

(52:19):
went up top hit both women with a diving crossbody
off the top rope, down to the floor. Back inside
the kerre performed the Devil's Kiss on Kyrie and everybody
in Springfield. Oh, they were so happy. They were so happy.
It's been what has it been six weeks? We haven't
seen a Devil's kiss on this show in six weeks.

(52:39):
Of course they're happy. I think that she has some
ground to make up. She should have done multiple ones tonight.
We only got the one, so everybody cheered Stephanie followed
up with the SVB and she covered her for the wind. Now,
after the match was over, Oscar gets up on the apron.
She's about to get into the rank to confront Stephanie.

(53:01):
We hear EO's music. Then Eosky runs out. She gets
in the ring. She stands in between Osca and Stephanie,
trying to keep the peace, trying to keep them apart.
EO got Oscar to calm down. Crowd is channing for Mommy.
Their chanting they want Ria to come out. Oscar exits
the ring without incident. EO and Stephanie then have a
little face off and they shook shake hands ahead of

(53:23):
their championship match coming up on Saturday. This was a
good competitive battle between these two women. This was the
best Kyrie Saane match since she came back to WWE.
And it's great to have Stephanie back on rods. Great
to have Stephanie back in the ring. I know Meltzer
had said there was a minor injury issue that she

(53:44):
was dealing with, and that's why we you know, she
didn't wrestle and we didn't see her for over a month.
Stephanie just did an interview saying no, don't believe everything
you read on the internet. No injury, I'm fine. No
injury now doesn't necessarily mean no injury before you know what,
I almost hope it was an injury because if it wasn't,

(54:05):
how fucked up is that on wweast part to not
put this woman on television for six weeks. It doesn't
make any sense. It almost had to be some sort
of minor injury issue just for it to make any
sense whatsoever. But she's back now, that's all that matters.
The match is on on Saturday. There was more drama
though in the back after this, we weren't done yet

(54:26):
because Eo was telling Osca that she needs to do
this by herself, she needs to win the title on
her own on Saturday. Oscar was not happy with this.
She said some stuff in Japanese. She stormed off, and
then she yells for Kyrie, and Kyrie has to just
drag her just broken body from the match that she

(54:47):
just has. She looks like she's in so much pain,
and she SLINKs off to go join OSCA. As far
as this match, a wrestled paloozo. I talked about this
on the sound I'm still sticking with EO Sky for
the win. I think that she's going to regain the
women's championship. This is a fifty to fifty match. This

(55:10):
really is as fifty to fifty as you can get
for a match on this Wrestle Palooza card. It really
could go either way. Now, if Oscar stays out of it, right,
because Oscar says she was going to be there, now,
EO said I don't want you there, I don't need
you there, and Oscar said okay, and she stormed off.
So let's assume Oscar will not be there, Oscar will

(55:32):
not get involved. There will be no shenanigans here in
this match. That if she stays out of the match
and EO loses, right, that's only going to infuriate Osca
that much more to build to the eventual EO Osca
feud and the eventual EO Oscar match, which we all
know is coming at some point. Right, If she goes

(55:55):
out there and loses and doesn't win the championship because
EO says she had to do it on her own
and she failed, you say you're a loser. I could
have helped you, you didn't want my help, and you
went out there and you lost. You failed. But here's
one of the reasons why I'm sticking with EO. And
I've said EO this entire time, and I think EO
should win. Rhea Ripley is a central figure in this story.

(56:19):
Rhea Ripley is going to meet the winner for the championship, right.
We already know that. So if EO was to lose,
then we get Ria and Stephanie probably at Crown Jewel,
and that's big match. But Ria is still part of
this other story. She doesn't stop being part of the
OSCA and the EO stuff the entire re She's really

(56:41):
the entire reason for there being any sort of animosity
now between EO and OSCA. She's still part of that story.
It makes more sense for EO to win the championship.
Ria can still be as you build to Rio and Ea.
Did I just say Ria and Ea? Did I say
and Ria and EO? As you build to Ria and EO.

(57:05):
There you go. That's easy for me to say in October.
She's still part of the story, so story work. Creatively speaking,
it makes more sense for EO to win this match,
because otherwise, what the hell does Rihea have to be
a part of this for but she almost has to be.

(57:25):
She's a central figure in this storyline. Io's going to
regain the championship. That's my prediction. I said Ria, I
said Rio, and ya Ea, well Ia is somebody new
that just debuted on Raw. It's a combination. It's it's
fusing Riho and Eo together to form one professional wrestler.

(57:48):
We do, by the way, we do have on the
same day. This weekend, we have Eo and Riho. They
have matches, just on two different shows. Today's episode is
sponsored by Factor. The unofficial end of summer is here.

in the Judgment Day clubhouse, the group is toasting in
celebration of Dirty Dom's big win at Worlds Collide on Friday.
Finn Balor is the only one who seems very unhappy.

(01:00:21):
He says, maybe we should pump the brakes on the
victory lab. He points out that Raquel and Roxanne they
had a rough night tonight. Raquel takes offense to this
and says we'll take care of Lyra and Bailey. Finn
then yells at don for still paling around with El
Grande Americano, and JD McDonough says, yeah, we need to
know what does he expect in return for all of

(01:00:45):
this help that he's providing you Because Americano played a
direct role in him winning that Mega title from Vikingo
on Friday, And Dom says, well, maybe Americano just wants
my respect because I'm the king of the luchadors. He says,
is that so crazy? If Finn says it is and
don't expect our help next time, then he storms off.

(01:01:06):
Dom tells Roxanne and Raquel don't worry about it. But
when he turns back around, Rusev is standing there and
he introduces himself as the next Intercontinental champion. Then he says,
enjoy your party, and he walks off. So it looks
like Dom has a new challenger. I don't know what
that means for Aj Styles. He was busy tonight chasing

(01:01:28):
after the Americanos. I don't know if that means we're
done with AJ and Dom and he's not getting another
Intercontinental title match. But I'll say this, if Rusev ends up,
it's hard for me to imagine Rusev and Dom and
doing the title change there just because it's two heels.

(01:01:49):
But if Rusev ends up with the Intercontinental Championship out
of this whole thing. It really is the perfect setup
to circle back around to ruseven Shamus come wrestle Mania
time and have Shamus win the title off of Russev.
So at least when you circle back around to it,
there's something tangible at stake. And yeah, I know they're

(01:02:12):
like best friends. I'm sure they would love to work
a wrestle Mania match together. We saw the matches they had.
They had that great match, they had that excellent blowoff
match at Clash in Paris. So you get away from
it for six months, come back around to it and
have Seamus get his crowning moment, you know, in Las
Vegas next year. I'd love to see it. La Knight

(01:02:37):
was back in the main event yet again, this time
tagging with Jimmy Usso against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid.
The fans in Springfield were going nuts for La Night
during the commercial break. I don't know how many of
you saw this. They were all lamped up for this guy.
They were saying his name, they were cheering for him,
and he was looking around and he played to the

(01:02:58):
crowd and they went nuts. Night and Jimmy they worked
well together early on had control until Reid gave the
heels control. During the commercial break, Jimmy avoided a sent
on from Bronson. Reid made the hot tag to La Night.
Night gave Breaker a neck breaker. He gave Breaker a breaker,
turned his attention to Read that allowed Breaker to cut

(01:03:20):
him off with a knee strike. Retagged in. Knight avoided
a jagged edge, which is his death Valley Driver hit
a reverse DDT did the diving elbow drop. But as
he was going up for the diving elbow drop, you know,
he jumps from the middle rope to the top rope.
Jimmy blind tagged himself in so he drops the elbow.

(01:03:41):
Jimmy then hits an USO splash. Breaker broke up the
cover Night clothesline Breaker out of the ring. Jimmy hit
Reid with a suicide dive. He went for another one. Reid, though,
caught him with a forearm strike before he could fly.
Night attack Read sent him back into the ring. Jimmy
then hit Bronson with a super kick and spear. As

(01:04:01):
Jimmy went up top, Breaker ran right over La Knight
on the floor outside just bowled him over with a
shoulder tackle. Leaping shoulder tackle. Breaker went for Jimmy, he
got up on the apron. He went for Jimmy. Jimmy
kicked him off the apron, but that little distraction right
there allowed Bronson Reid to grab Jimmy on his shoulders
and drop him with the Jagged Edge for the win

(01:04:26):
bron Breaker. Bronson Reid victorious here in this main event,
they have now established the Jagged Edge as another finisher
for Bronson Reid to use. He's now used it to
beat La Knight and Jimmy Uso in I believe, consecutive
matches here. I've no issue with that. Save the tsunami

(01:04:47):
splash for those occasions where he's going to win with it,
so it's like one of those moves where when you
get hit with it, you're not kicking out. That's number one.
Number two. You could also just save it for those
special where you want to write somebody off TV. Then
just have him go up top and hit two or
three of them or four of them and squash somebody
and they disappear. But now he's got two finishing maneuvers

(01:05:10):
instead of one. I think that's a good thing. I
think it's good to have some variety in your arsenal
Breaker speared Jimmy. When the match was over and Reid
was actually about to go up to hit the tsunami splash,
they hit Jay's music. He ran out with a chair,
and then Breaker he did the thing which he never

(01:05:32):
learns from where he sees somebody as running out with
a weapon and he's got to leave the ring to
go chase after them, and then they end up catching
him in the aisle and hitting him with a chair.
And that's exactly what happened here. Jay went to go
hit Reid with the chair in the ring, Reid swatted
it out of his hands. He ended up getting blasted
with a chair anyway, and he got sent packing. So

(01:05:55):
as Jay goes to tend to his brother in the corner,
we see La Knight in the back around behind him
slide back into the ring and the chair is laying
there and La and I grabbed the chair and he's
making like he's inch in his way towards Jay. Doesn't
know he's behind him, And Jay finally turns around, he
sees him. Knight stops in his tracks and they lock

(01:06:15):
eyes and we got a bit of a face off here.
You know, what's he gonna do? So Knight throws the
chair away. Jay then extends his hand and Knight is
a little hesitant at first, but he accepts. But then
as soon as Jay turns his back and turns back
towards Jimmy, Knight spins him around, kicks him in the gut,
and drops him with the BFT as payback for what

(01:06:38):
Jay did to him last week and night. Actually, if
you watch Knight, when he left the ring, he looked
over at Jimmy, who's like, what the hell are you doing?
And he thanked Jimmy, you know, thanked him for being
his partner as he left the match itself. Was fine.
Night getting his revenge made sense. He had to. But
he has been taken a lot of loss. Is hearing

(01:07:01):
these matches and it has an effected his popularity, But
he just takes loss after loss after loss in these matches.
It's not a bad angle with him and Jay. It
gets Jay out of the world title picture, which I'm
grateful for. You know, he had his run. I don't
need to see him challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship anymore.

(01:07:22):
This puts him it like one level just below that,
but he's still in the main event. I mean, look,
he's still part of the main event angles on the
show almost every single week, but he's also had you know,
he's got a bit of an attitude now, He's not
just coming through the crowd and doing the yeat and
so I don't mind the angle itself, you know, and
building up tension here between two baby faces like what

(01:07:43):
they've been doing. I just wish that there was more
variety with these matches every single week. It's like I'm
watching a rerun. If you put this show on every
week and you watch these main events, it feels like
you are watching them on repeat. I just wish we
can get some more variety here. Will Knight factor into
the tag match at Wrussell Palooza between the USO's and

(01:08:06):
the Vision, I believe he will. I like the show
this week. The great crowd in Springfield Help was a
very lively crowd. Clearly they had a lot of people there.
I think it was maybe like seventy five hundred, but
that was max maxed out for that building. That's why
we had the difference set up this week. The closing
angle was fine outside of the redundancy of the actual matches.

(01:08:29):
Stephanie and Kyrie I thought they had a good one.
So did Dragon Lee An Americano. All the matches really
on this show or at least solid. The punk aj
Becky seth segment it dragged on a little too long.
I thought it was a fine little bit of final
hype for the big tag team match of Wreussell Palooza.

(01:08:50):
Bailey is back, She's forwarding her story with Lyra, and
the crowd got the John Cena appearance that they wanted.
It just felt empty not having brock Less on the show,
you know, even just for a brief run in or
some kind of appearance. It was. It was just very
basic stuff. And like I said at the beginning, it
was very silly how you had brock on television on

(01:09:13):
Friday looking for Sena even though Sena had told us
he wasn't going to be there, and then him doing
comedy with our Truth. It's like again phoning it in.
You look up the definition of phoning it in. That's
what they've been doing with John Cena and brock Lesnar
ever since SummerSlam, or at least Clash in Paris, because
Sena had the feud with Logan Paul. But they've been

(01:09:34):
phoning it in because they know that they can get
away with it. They got two big names in the
main event, and they could just coast on their names.
And that's really all they're doing now. As far as
Wreussell Paluza, let me run through this card here. Russell
Palooza is this Saturday. It is seven Eastern start time.

(01:09:54):
It's going to be on the ESPN Unlimited app. And
because they rushed this deal, they still have not made
a deal with YouTube TV. They have not made a
deal with YouTube TV to carry this service, and they
have not made a deal yet with Comcast to carry
this service. Among other services as well. Those aren't the
only two. I happen to have one of these two,
so I do not have access for free to the

(01:10:17):
ESPN Unlimited app, which means I will be watching via
VPN and Netflix. That is how I will be watching
Wressell Baluza this weekend. So it's still just a five
match card. Here's the card. USO's against bron Breaker and
Bronson Reid, Eo Sky and Stephanie Vacier de Krane Brand
New Women's World champion, CM Punk and aj Lee take

(01:10:41):
on Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Cody Rhodes defends the
WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre and John Cena takes on
brock Lesner. I think this room to add one more match.
I don't know if they will or not. If they do,
I guess we'll find out on Friday. But I don't
know why this can't be at least a six match card.

(01:11:02):
I wouldn't even do more than that. I think six
is fine right now it's five. Do you want to
know my full predictions? I went through all of them
match by match on the sound Off this weekend episode
nine to twenty nine. To go back and check that out.
What did you think of raw from Springfield, Massachusetts? We've
got sixty nine point seven percent thumbs up for tonight

(01:11:25):
show thirty point three percent thumbs down. At Solo Monster
is where you can follow and vote in the poll.
JP says, if I buy ESPN, it is for the NBA. Well,
you got access to a bunch of other sports stuff.
It's not just WWE, obviously, But because this deal was

(01:11:47):
not supposed to start until next year, I think March
or April, I think with WrestleMania. So because they had
to rush this, they still haven't made these deals with
so many of these different serve like. It's crazy and
it's not gonna happen unless they do something in the
next four days. So you either pay the thirty bucks

(01:12:09):
or you find other means to watch the show. You
do what you gotta do. Ben says, how do we
well look? Stephanie McMahon told you. You don't have to
take my word for it. Stephanie McMahon told you just
use a VPN, but don't use her VPN, use Express VPN.
I got my deal. You don't need Stephanie's deal. I

(01:12:32):
got you linked up in the description down below, telling
you it'll be the best decision you ever make. I
was using it tonight at this point. I basically use
it to watch all the WWE shows. I'm using it
on SmackDown now in USA because I just couldn't stand
the all the SmackDown breaks. It's what you have to do.

(01:12:58):
Start with dried Chicken. What was the reason for rushing it?
They had They wanted to start on there as soon
as possible, but they had hit their quota of ples
with Peacock because they had added the extra night to
WrestleMania in the last few years, and then they added

(01:13:21):
evolution this year, so they had a certain number of
a certain benchmark that they had to meet, and so
once they did, they were able to just get an
early start to the ESPN deal. I think they had
to get permissioned, possibly from Peacock to do it, but
that's how they were able to do it earlier. We're
at three sixty three, by the way, on the likes,

(01:13:42):
so four hundred is the number. We are going to
be the booker tonight. Let's go back here and we'll
start with Dried Chicken starting us out. I feel like
Andrade's departure in WDAS is an alarming sign for anyone

(01:14:02):
who wants to sign with WWE. Also, I do believe
it's time for WWE to shake up the main roster.
They could certainly use a shakeup. I mentioned I actually
ran through all the key names on the podcast this
weekend that are on the raw side, if you include
John Cena now, and there's definitely an imbalance between the

(01:14:26):
two rosters in favor of raw. Seth Rollins should hit
the pedigree on Punk. Punk should also do a pepsi
plunge on Seth Rollins. See I'm Punk at forty eight
years old, gonna do a pepsi plunge. That sounds like
a terrible idea from Terrible Dried Chicken. Also, I double

(01:14:48):
dogg there everybody on the Wrestle Palooza card to purposely
have a fast paced match, an attempt to overshadow the
main event. Hashtag petty thank you, drive Chicken for the
three messages. Joseph Stewart's got a bunch a bunch of
nine ninety nine super chats. Joseph, you are carrying this

(01:15:10):
stream toonight. I look at all these messages here. Joseph
is awesome. Do you think Dominic Mysterio is going to
be the next big megastar in WWE? Not megastar, but
he's gonna be a big deal. He'll be a world
champion one day. Absolutely absolutely it would be a world
heavyweight champion in the next few years. Do you remember

(01:15:35):
when David Flair had that wedding with Stacy Keebler on
WCW Monday nightro I do I do? And it ended,
if I remember, it ended with Stacey, who was supposedly pregnant,
revealing to David that I am pregnant, but you are not.
The Father, and then she ran off. Did we ever

(01:15:55):
get a resolution to that storyline? Because I thought they
were considering making Rick Flair the father, and I think
they just abandoned the entire story. If I remember, Joseph says,
do you remember the Filthy Animals with Conan Raymisterio, Billy Kidman,
and Eddie Guerrero in late nineteen ninety nine? I do.

(01:16:18):
That's where Ray was unmasked. Do you remember the faction
in WCW called Revolution with Chris Benois, de Malenko, Saturn,
Shane Douglas in Asia. I don't Shane Douglas in Asia. Well,
I mean those were all the name, not Asia, but

(01:16:40):
those were all the names, including Shane who. I think
the idea was that they would all go to ww
E together. They kind of left Douglas out of the equation.
I don't remember them being called Revolution though. Do you
remember the faction three Count? Yes? I remember three Count?
I remember the Young Dragons buy or Sell WCW late

(01:17:08):
nineteen ninety nine or Triple H current era of WWE
right now, WWE Dry Chicken, say See I'm Punk and
aj Lee's bad Idea Number twenty two for South and
Becky Punk and aj We'll use baseball bats and throw
a cinder block at Rollin's and Becky's getaway car. Yeah,

(01:17:34):
we don't need cinder blocks. I think we could leave
those out. Joseph says one, will Uncle Howdy have another
match in WWEE? I mean, are there people clamoring for
an Uncle Howdie match? I mean he could be Bo
Dallas and that would be just fine. I don't know that.

(01:17:57):
I don't know how many people are clamoring for the
next Uncle Howdy match. Do you think both Dominic Mysterio
and Live Morgan could fit in the elite with Hangman
Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. Sure? I think those

(01:18:18):
two together can make anything work. Dried Chicken says mister
Sako and dem Nito against Lyayeska and Lily the Doll
at the Hardy Compound with Chucky and Kermit on commentary,

(01:18:39):
sounds like a fever dream there. Ragnarok, what's going on?
Ragnarok Wressell Palooza with a crazy good card, but the
homies and I can't afford to go, and we live
twenty minutes away. Fuck TKO. All my homies hate TKO. Well,
if you listen to Mark Shapiro. He doesn't think those

(01:19:00):
prices are high enough. Their goal is to jack them
up even higher dried chicken. When it comes to wrestling
match cards for both WWE and AWWWE is like a
Chick fil A menu, AAW is like a random local
burger joint menu. Hey, local burger joints are actually quite good.

(01:19:29):
I don't know if that's supposed to be a knock
on AW or not, but local burger joints are actually
pretty good the real cs. Thank you for the twenty
dollars super chat. Is it safe to assume that the
only reason why dragon Ly has been consistently featured on
TV is due to Triple A. I find it interesting

(01:19:52):
that prior he couldn't buy himself TV time. Oh, that
absolutely has a lot to do with it, for sure. Yeah.
I mean, he basically had his He basically had his
head on the side of a milk cart. And, as
they used to say, because nobody could find where this

(01:20:13):
guy was. I think somewhere along the way he and
his wife maybe had another kid. But it doesn't really
account for all that time that we didn't see him
on TV. So yes, it is safe to say that
that is the main reason why Victor buyer cell Brett
Hart nineteen ninety four or Kurt Angle two thousand and three.

(01:20:34):
I actually liked that match a lot. Give me ninety
four Brett against O three Kurt, but I'm gonna buy
on ninety four Brett Jeremy Wattley. Firstly, I'm sending thoughts
your way. Thank you, Brother says thank you for answering
my random super chat two years ago at four am

(01:20:55):
German time, driving my buddy to Frankfurt Airport, Are welcome?
Four am German time would have been what time here?
How far ahead are you? Four hours? Maybe five hours?
Sees says, was this the best Kyrie has looked in

(01:21:17):
a while? Yes, I said, I think that's her best
match on the main roster since she came back to
the company. Sees also says, why do you think Raw's
women's division is booked better than Smackdowns women's division? They
have more stars to work with. I mean, think of

(01:21:39):
all the talent they have on Raw right now, just
with Rhea and EO, and they got Oscar back, and
they've got Stephanie on the show Live Morgan before she
got hurt, and they have you know, Raquel. They have
big plans for Raquel. They had just moved Naomi over
to the raw side, so they have more to work

(01:21:59):
with in terms of star power on the show, so
very especially in the women's division more than anything else.
It's just very imbalanced right now between the two shows.
Is Eo Sky the women's wrestler of the year. Yes.
Jeremy Rose says, if we don't get Seth stomping aj

(01:22:19):
to really set CM punk off the edge, then what
are we doing? I know it's WWE and aj Lee
is getting the win. Well, if they want Ajlee against
Becky for the intercontinental title, aj should win. Jeremy also says,

(01:22:40):
I'm so sick of TKO. Well, I mean, join the club.
Here is a lot of people who feel the same way. Eventually,
they are selling to Saudi. I wish somehow the McMahon
kids could buy WWE back and save us fans from
this corporate greed. Be yes, as if the McMahons are

(01:23:04):
not all about corporate reed. Come on now, the Mount
Vernon Kidd Christopher Bennett forty months of membership, a German
and two Brits walk into a Mexican bar and you

(01:23:24):
can see you see what has happens. This is the
best triple H can do with Bait and Dunn. Keep
your head up. So oh is that the punchline? I
don't know where that was going. Hey, we got nothing
better for these guys. Let's put them under a mask

(01:23:45):
and we'll make them. Luca Doors the Sheltered Kid, spent
two bucks to let you know I'm praying for you,
my friend. Well, I appreciate that. That means a lot.
Thank you, retro Koh with thirty months of membership flashing

(01:24:05):
that badge, so thank you for the hard work despite
recent troubles. We appreciate you. I appreciate you too. You're
with me pretty much every one of these streams. I'm
happy to have you. By the way, I didn't mentioned
this earlier, but just the other day uploaded episode fourteen

(01:24:31):
of the SoundOff from two thousand and eight, So we're
going way back in the way back machine. If you
are a Legends Tier member on YouTube, you have access
to all the badges and the emojis and early access
to special features, but you also have the retro the
lost episodes, which are not found anywhere else. Episode fourteen

(01:24:52):
just went up the other day and there is more
to come. So if you want the first fourteen episodes
of the SoundOff that I ever did on that legends
here check it out. It's funny to go back in
time and see what was going on in the world
of wrestling back then we got mactub I remember you

(01:25:15):
used to say that Okada will retire as the greatest
of all time? Did you mean overall or just in ring? Well,
in ring? I mean he's known for his in ring
body of work, and he's not done yet, so I
can't say for sure whether or not that will still

(01:25:37):
be the case. But his body of work is as
good as anybody's that I've seen in all my years
as a wrestling fan. You can certainly put his body
of work in that same category with the Brett Harts
and the Shawn Michaels. And then at that point it's
just up to your personal preference as to what type

(01:25:57):
of wrestling you enjoy. You know, with Okada you get
a lot of really long matches, right, and they build
slowly and then but they build to a certain climax
there near the end. They had a certain formula to them.
But he's had so many great matches and he had
so many of them at such a young age, you know,
so early in his career. I would take his body

(01:26:19):
of work and put it up against almost anybodies when
all of a sudden done, is he gonna be the
greatest of all time? Well, everyone has their own greatest
of all time. He's in the conversation. Let's see here.
H seems insecure around built charismatic stars like Orton Drew

(01:26:42):
La theory, but feel safer pushing or posing with Jay
and Zane Second Reign of Terror. Or you could look
at it a different way and say that the names
that are established, given that they're already established, He's trying
to elevate names like Jane Zaying to that level, and

(01:27:05):
it may work, it may not work. I don't fault
anyone for trying to elevate certain people to that level
that should be the goal. Does Austin have any points
over Hogan in goat talk? Sure? I don't think that
at his peak, for that short period of time, anybody

(01:27:26):
was as white hot as Steve Boston, That includes Hogan.
Hogan had the longevity, though, so Bret Hart. On the
eighteenth and nineteenth of September, we celebrate our independence in Chile.
If Stephanie loses so close to those dates, the country's

(01:27:47):
morale will collapse. I mean, the whole country could collapse.
It could be an absolute calamity over there. Civil war
will break out. It's terrible. I still think EO should win.
I think it's I think it's okay to sacrifice all
of that if it's the right booking decision to have
EO go over Cubby Blues. Do you think Punk gets

(01:28:11):
another title run? Yeah, I mean he's It seems pretty inevitable.
He's gonna win the World Heavyweight Championship at some point.
He has to at this point, after the way he
was screwed out of the title of Summerslim. Donovan Payne, Hey,

(01:28:34):
Solo Monster. Not sure if you've covered this topic before,
but what is your favorite match from Luca Underground Grave
Consequences between Ray Phoenix and Oh God, who was it?
Mil Mauertes Season one? I don't remember the episode number,

(01:28:56):
but it was basically their version of a casket match.
There were tons of great matches though, I mean they
had I remember they had this all night long match once,
which is like their Iron Man match, and it went
the entire episode I think that was Johnny Mundo and
Ricochet was it. I think they had their Aztec Warfare matches,

(01:29:16):
which was like a better version of the Royal Rumble.
I think Jeff Cobb right Matanza won that first one.
I believe Bobby means. Wouldn't it be something if Viker
wins the title but loses it to Rihea in Perth,
but Rhea loses it to Roxanne Perez and we get

(01:29:37):
Roxy and live. Yeah, I would not do that. I
don't think it needs to be for a championship. I
hope that doesn't happen. And Cameron Spencer, what are your
thoughts on people laughing at Psychostu forgetting beat up by

(01:30:00):
Rajah Jackson. I don't know what people you're referring to.
I haven't seen that. I think you're hanging out in
the wrong circles. Cameron, I haven't seen anybody making fun
of Psycho Stu. What I'm wondering is it's now been
I mean, we're closing in soon on a month and
there has been no update on what is going on

(01:30:20):
with that case. Raja Jackson is still walking around free.
It's been weeks. I have no idea what's going on there.
Every week that goes by that he's still walking around
is completely ridiculous. Dry Chicken says, there's one way John

(01:30:43):
Cena can beat Brockelsnar. He pulls out the paint gun
and blasts his balls, and bass Beer says, buckle up, Teddy,
buckle up, Teddy, thank you. Base Bears Mays says, my

(01:31:07):
favorite Luca Underground match is Johnny Mundo against in the Mac.
All night, oh man, the Mac forgot about the Mac.
I miss Luca Underground again. It was my first introduction
to people like Penta and Phoenix, Sammy Gaevara. I knew

(01:31:28):
of Rikochet. I tell you what I do, miss Prince Puma,
though Prince Puma was a good character for him, all right.
So we are currently at four hundred and twelve likes.
So with that in mind, we will go ahead and
cycle up. It is time to be the booker. Ladies

(01:31:49):
and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.
It is time. Not only is it too bad that
there's no Lucia Underground anymore, it's too bad that we
never got any sort of a proper ending to so
many of those storylines. You know, it just ended like

(01:32:12):
any television show when it gets canceled, it just ended.
That sucks. What happened to Marty the Moth says Rick, Well,
somebody turned the light off. All right, tag team be
the booker. Here we go. We have Oh boy, look

(01:32:33):
at this duo, the tag team of Brett the Hitman
Heart and Bill Goldberg. You ever see some of those
images and sometimes there'll be a caption. It's like moments
before Doom, moments before disaster struck. That's what I think

(01:32:55):
of when I see this photo. Bret's got kind of
a smile on his face here. If only he knew.
The only good thing about that is that, you know,
for Brett, you'd rather have Goldberg as your partner as
opposed to your opponent. At least then you're safe. Brett

(01:33:18):
Hart and Bill Goldberg against Julius and Brutus the Creed brothers.
What the hell happened to them? They got sent back
to NXT. Yeah, I mean, it's not like we have
tag team titles on raw or anything. All Right, we
got nothing for them to do. We'll send him back.

(01:33:40):
Great stuff, all right. The women's match, we've got Naomi
former women's champion Nao. This is a feel of the glow, Naomi,
this is not to proceed with caution, Naomi, Naomi, And

(01:34:01):
oh boy, this is the match we were supposed to
get in Paris Naomi against Stephanie Vicaire that was supposed
to be the clash in Paris match. Stephanie was not
going to win that match. I don't think she's gonna
win this match either. And now our main event, and

(01:34:27):
in our main event is Dax Harwood. The great segment
they had on Dynamite last week to promote FTR against
Cope and Christian was to have this man go out
to the ring in the old ECW arena and just
try picking a fight with fans and beating up a cameraman.

(01:34:54):
I know that got me all psyched out for that
big tag team match this weekend. Well, it's not a
tag team match. He's a tag team wrestler, but he's
in the main event, so we got to book an
opponent for him. Softwood, says Hunter. Soft Wood against who
against Kevin Owens. Well, you know, at least you know

(01:35:20):
you're going to get a really good wrestling match out
of it. Dak's Harwood against Kevin Owens, both former NXT Alum,
we got ourselves a clean sweet here in our first
be the booker in a week. That's what I like
to see, good stuff. Bace Beers says, what's your favorite

(01:35:46):
Danny DeVito role? I know my brother would say It's
always Sunny in Philadelphia, but I don't watch that show. Yeah,
I really liked him in tweets with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I mean,

(01:36:06):
you know, I could say Oscar cobble Pot in Batman,
you know, but I wasn't really a fan of that.
I'll go Twins just because I'm having I'm having trouble
trying to think of some of the other movies that

(01:36:27):
he's been in that I've seen. Matilda, I didn't see Matilda. Oswald.
What did I say, Oscar Oswald? Yes, Oswald cobble Pot.
Oscar is his brother tax Well, yes, of course he was.
He was in Taxi. But we're talking about movies. I

(01:36:49):
actually know he No, he said, what's your favorite Danny
DeVito role? I guess you know what we could say Taxi.
Taxi was still kind of before my time, though, I
mean I was aware of it. I saw some app episodes,
it was still a little before my time. It's where
Andy Kaufman was on the show Matilda. Why do people

(01:37:12):
keep saying Matilda, No, No, Matilda? UMQ with a dollar
ninety nine. Excited for TNT. You and Tyler are fantastic,
Thank you. I will let Tyler know he'll be very excited,
whoever he is. But yes, we do have TNT coming

(01:37:37):
up tomorrow night, episode one twelve, I do believe. And
then I'll be here with you on Wednesday for the
go home episode of Dynamite. They are in Canada already,
so they're out of the residency of the twenty three
hundred Arena. Thank god, I was it was time. It
was time to get out of that building. So we
have Dynamite on Wednesday, and then we have Smacked Out

(01:37:58):
on Friday, and then the plan is to cover Wressele
Palooza live on Saturday. I'll watch most of All Out.
That'll lead right into Wrestle Palooza. We'll go live for that.
I'll catch up with whatever I miss at the end
of All Out, and then we'll cover All Out on
the sound off next Sunday. That is the schedule of events,
barring any unforeseen circumstances. Obviously, bes beers. Are you going

(01:38:23):
to Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania forty three? Brother? I haven't
been to WrestleMania since thirty five. What makes you think
I'm flying to Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania. No, I will
now be there, but if you're going enjoy, I will
not be there. How long were they of the twenty

(01:38:44):
three hundred? They were there for three weeks. That's long
enough and I didn't even mind it so much. But
like after three weeks, it's time to move on. Thank
you for all the super cheer to those who support
it tonight. I do appreciate it, and again, thank you

(01:39:04):
for all the nice comments. My mind is still kind
of going back and forth on different things. I don't
know what this week is going to hold. Hopefully hopefully
some positive updates, but I will keep you guys posted
if things change as far as the schedule, but we
should have normal schedule this week. A lot of content

(01:39:25):
coming your way. Keep supporting, be well, stay safe, have
yourselves a good night, and I will see you back
here very soon. Live on the channel for more SoundOff.
Until then, take care, guys,
