Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, you know, they were set up for seven thousand
seats tonight on Raw. Apparently they only sold sixty four hundred.
What's going on? I mean? Is this it is the
hot streak over? Holy shit? I mean we're still used
to hearing about them selling out or they have fifty
seats left. That was the biggest surprise. When I looked
to see how many tickets were sold for tonight's show,

(00:21):
I just wanted to see where they were. I saw
they were in Evansville, Indiana. I don't know how strong
of a market Evansville is. Although the crowds sounded decently
loud tonight, I don't know. Man. We actually got a
very different main event. Believe it or not, we have
been inundated by main events with the Vision or the

(00:43):
USSOS or LA night week after week after week after
week after week, and tonight we had none of that
in the main event. They actually gave us a main
event with the ladies. The ladies of course, being the
ones who really saved the day at wressel Palooza or
mid Palooza or whatever you want to call it over

(01:04):
the weekend that they helped make that show passable. On Saturday,
we had Rea Ripley and Osca, which they kept talking,
you know, talking about how this is a WrestleMania caliber
main event. It was actually a WrestleMania main event. I
have no idea why they didn't draw any attention to that.
They did actually have a WrestleMania match many years ago,
but in WWE, it's as if it just never happened.

(01:27):
But we had Real Ripley and Oscar one on one
in the main event tonight, and it was an excellent match.
They had a hell of a match until the finish.
We had some goofiness of the finish, which you had
to expect, not surprised, you know, given the story they're telling.
But up until that point they were having an excellent
bout that Ria Ripley won. And the key is what

(01:51):
happened after the match when it was over, which was
the officially the heel turn of Osca. Now Osca has
been acting heelish now for weeks, but this was the
official heel turn, and she missed it. Rhea Ripley in
the face, and she got her good. Let me tell you,
she got Ria good. So much so that when Rhea
Ripley was showed on camera there at the end of

(02:12):
the show. Take a look at this This woman looked
like a smurf. That is how powerful the green mist
of Osca is. This woman looked like a smurf when
this show was over. But we're going to talk about
all the shenanigans that happened with the women tonight, because
this was a major turn here in this story that

(02:35):
has been playing out over several weeks now a few months. Really,
That is not to say that La Knight was not
stuck in the usual vortex that, unfortunately for him, he
has been stuck in now for quite some time. LA
and Knight was in very familiar territory. I'd like to
just and I've done this before, but the list has
now expanded, so I feel the need to update this

(02:58):
list just to give you a sense of the kind
of summer that La Knight has had for himself. As
we head now went to the fall, La Night against
seth Rawlins keep track here, l A Knight and Cmpunk
against the Vision, LA Night against bron Breaker, La Knight

(03:18):
and Jay Usso against the Vision, La Night against Bronson Reid,
La Knight and Jimmy Usso against the Vision and tonight
wait for it we had La Knight against jay Usso
this is what La Knight has been doing now for

(03:39):
the last seven weeks here on Monday Night Raw. That
is what Raw has looked like for one La Night.
Of those seven matches, I should point out to you
that he has won a grand total of one. He
took another loss tonight to jay usso one. That is
how many wins this man has to his name. At

(04:01):
least we know what the L stands for now in
La Night. If we didn't know before, now we know,
so we'll talk more about that. Seth Rollins was on
this show. Cody Rhoades was on this show. They both
happened to be the top champions right now in WWE.
Cody rhads of course got to win over Drew McIntyre
at Russell Palooza, and Seth Rollins did not defend his

(04:23):
World Heavyweight championship, although he did take a loss on
that show. Very odd that they barely even mentioned I
don't even know if they did. They really even get
into at any point the fact that CM Punk and
aj Lee beat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. I mean,
they had like an opening video package, but hardly even
mentioned CM punk at aj Lee not on the show tonight,

(04:45):
by the way, but their win was barely even mentioned.
But the focus was more on Rollins and Cody because
they are now set up for Crown Jewel. It's Crown
Jewels season and we're getting Champion against Champion in Perth
next month, and so now these two a are on
a collision course and they are rekindling their old rivalry
from many years ago. And they actually opened the show,

(05:07):
So that'll be the first thing we talk about here
in a little bit. I enjoyed the show tonight, I did.
I thought that it was a solid effort. You know,
we got some good matches again, an excellent main event,
and they moved the key stories along that they had
to move along. One person also, who is not on
the show tonight, I not just see I'm punk at
aj Lee. Roman Reigns obviously is gone for a few

(05:29):
more weeks, although I do believe Roman Reins is done
filming next week. So the date that I had heard
from PW inside Are many weeks ago was September twenty sixth,
so I don't know if that means he's going to
be back on the show next week. But Roman Reigns
could be back on RAW as early as next week,
so his Street Fighter filming should be wrapping up imminently.

(05:53):
None of these people were on the show tonight. John
Cena was not on the show tonight. John Cena was
very nearly squashed, right, can't It wasn't a total squash,
but it was basically a debacle on Saturday or Wrestle Palooza,
he got destroyed again by brock Lesnar. Yes, you have
not woken up in a time warp, but his twenty

(06:13):
twenty five brock Lesnar destroyed John Cena And man, the
things I could say, But I mean I had a
lot to say already on the podcast about it. I
just wanted to point out though. John Cena tweeted at
six thirty PM this evening, okay, half an hour before
Raw went on the air, because it was second week
in a row. Now that Raw went on an hour early,

(06:33):
they're doing it again next week. After that, I think
it goes back to normal. He tweeted out at six
point thirty a very simple tweet sena versus Styles thoughts
with the RAW hashtag. And because he put the Raw
hashtag in there, there were people who thought we were
getting that match tonight, so there were probably some very

(06:54):
disappointed people watching this show. But he's putting it out
there now. It would be very cruel to do that
if you weren't absolutely sure that you were going to
do John Cena against AJ Styles, because I had all
been given up on them doing the match. I mean,
he's got what three matches left, maybe including his retirement match,

(07:16):
and it just didn't seem like it was in the cards.
The fact that he went not only on Twitter and
said that, but on Instagram, where he doesn't write anything
but he just posts pictures, he posted something that would
also lead you to believe that he was referring to
AJ Styles. It was a picture of like something representing
an a something representing a jay, picture of a blue jay,

(07:38):
and then a picture of God. Who was it some
character from some show, but I think his name was Styles. Anyway,
it looks like we're getting John Cena against AJ Styles
and it could very well happen at Crown Jewel. And
the reason I say that is because John Cena is
scheduled for Crown Jewel, but he is not scheduled for
television at all between now and then, and it could

(07:59):
very well. Just be a case where the match is
either I don't want to say unannounced because that would
be very dumb, but it's kind of like a special
attraction match where he doesn't necessarily need to be around.
They're not building a feud. It could just be that
he's going to have a match on the show they
want to do something special. AJ's a safe opponent to

(08:19):
just kind of throw on there if he can't be
around to really promote the match or build it up
in any meaningful way. I think we could get that
match as soon as next month, but for him to
go on social media and even mention it, you can't
do that and then not give people the match. So
I'm happy that it looks like we're going to get it,
not one hundred percent confirmed or you know when and

(08:42):
where it may happen. Of course, my first thought when
I saw that they're trying to distract. They're trying to
deflect from the absolute fucking shit show that has been
the last forty eight hours of discourse coming out of
Wrestle Palooza and all the different opinions about that show,
the match, and there was news today about that. There's

(09:06):
a lot of news going around right now, and I'm
sure as the week goes on, there'll be even more
reports that come out. There may be reports that come
out that refute some of the reports that came out
today or confirm them. I was reading some wild shit today,
you know. There was stuff that came out from fight
Full and from bodyslam dot net about creative plans, original plans. Supposedly, originally,

(09:30):
John Cena was supposed to win as recently a Saturday morning.
According to them, John Cena was going to win that
match and beat brock Lesnar. Boy, if that's true, something changed.
But you watch what they did at Wrestle Palouz on Saturday,
and the only conclusion that you could come to logically,

(09:52):
and I guess maybe logic doesn't really apply in this situation.
You watch that and you think, well, we just found
out who John scene Is retirement match is going to
be against, right, brock Lesner. Doesn't excite me, don't know
if it excites you. But how can you come to
any other conclusion based on what they did other than

(10:15):
this must be building to him, you know, slaying the
beast one last time and getting that big heroic win
on his way out the door, and then I see
Brian Alvarez is reporting on Wrestling Observer Live today that
based on what he's hearing, that is in fact not
the plan. There is no plan for a rematch between

(10:36):
John Cena and brock Lesner. They sent these two men
out to the ring on Saturday, they had brock Lesner
all but squash him, and there were no plans to
follow up on that or have a rematch. I don't
know what to believe. I don't know. Just because this
stuff is out there doesn't mean that it's accurate. And
don't forget We're at a time now where WWE, I

(10:56):
do feel, is putting out fall information in certain instances
that they know is going to get reported on, and
leaking shit that isn't true to make certain people look bad.
Is some of that going on here? I don't know now.
On the one hand, if it's true, great because I
don't have any interest in seeing this run back again.

(11:19):
But it just makes what they did on Saturday look
even dumber. So this is a lot, Like I said,
there's a lot of wild ship being reported. What's true
and what's not. Only time will tell, But yes, give
me John Cena and AJ styles. Stop teasing me and
just give it to us, please and thank you. This
is your Raw on Netflix review. It is Monday, September

(11:42):
twenty second, twenty twenty five. You know, September twenty second.
You know, there's certain dates in wrestling history that stick
out in my mind that I'm almost positive. September twenty
second was the date in nineteen ninety seven where Raw
emanated for the very first time Madison Square Garden. And

(12:02):
that was the first night that Vince McMahon took a
stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin, and I do believe
that they had a dark match that night when they
went off the air, a triple threat match between Shawn Michaels,
Brett Hart and the Undertaker. Cactus. Shack made his WWE
debut WWF debut that night against Triple h A lot

(12:24):
of things happened that night. It's a long time ago.
Nineteen ninety seven today is officially false. Is ourdah happy
fall everybody? I don't know, man, we were supposed to
get seven thousand people in the building tonight. We only had.
We were six hundred short. Is this the fall of WWE?
I don't know, I know this could be the beginning

(12:47):
of the end. Guys, I'm gonna have to pack it
up here. I'm gonna have to go find something else
to do. I don't know those aw streams. If that's
all I got left, that ain't gonna cut it. We're
gonna have to go find something else to do. Hit
that like button, hit that subscribe button. Hopefully you will
enjoy your stay here. Super chats are open. I'll be

(13:09):
reading them later on. You'll see them popping up on
your screen as well as I pause and unpause them.
By the power of Valhalla, it's vintage cold Tar. Well,
you know what, we have to make a mighty sacrifice
to the great Coal Tar who is with us tonight.

(13:29):
Death Scythe coming in with a big one. That's the
fifty one coal tar, not to be confused with the
with the five hundred dollars year right, the fifty dollars
gunthar hey, debt sith, thank you very much. Like I said,
get those super chats in. I gotta give an early
shout out here, not just to death Scythe, but to

(13:51):
Joseph Stewart. I know Joseph is with us. Joseph was
dropping not like any big individual bomb, but just so
many different super chats. I just have to say thank
you single handedly carrying the ship here tonight. It felt
like so. Joseph has a lot of questions that we
got to go through later, and I will do so,

(14:11):
but I wanted to give him an early thank you
because that does mean a lot. And thank you to
everybody who hung out with me for the Wrestle Palooser
show the other night. We had a north of two
thousand people, so that was very cool. Now, Lily and Garcia,
she filled in tonight for Alicia Taylor who was unavailable,
so we had Liian back doing the ring announcing for

(14:32):
one night only. It's Crown Jewel season, which means that
it's Champion against Champion in Perth next month. Man, I'm
so trained on saying riod when it comes to Crown Jewel.
I almost said Riodd, but it's not. It's in Perth
this year. So we have the WWE champion technically a

(14:52):
SmackDown star, Cody Rhodes coming out tonight for a promo
here on Raw. Cody came to the ring and he
asked fans what they wanted to talk about, and he
flashed his very shiny Crown Jewel ring. I forgot they

(15:13):
even gave them rings. I forgot. They keep the belts
over in Reod. They have that whole WWE. It's not
a museum, it's like some kind of exhibit that they have,
this really elaborate like WWE exhibit, like something you would
see out of Universal Studios, and they keep the belts
there and these belts are just gigantic, these gigantic Crown
Jewel belts that they made. But since Crown Jewels not

(15:36):
in Riod this year, I guess they're gonna have to
ship them over to to birth Right because they don't
keep them in Perth. They keep them in Reod. But
they also give them rings since the belts stay behind,
so they have the rings all year. Of course we
never fucking see them. There's no mention of them, so
they dust them off when it's Crown Jewel time and
it's like, oh, I got a ring. It's like, yeah, okay,

(15:57):
I don't hear about this ring the other three hundred
and sixty four days out of the year, but since
we got to promote this show, it's time to dust
off the ring. So he was showing us his Crown
Jewel Championship ring. He was interrupted though before he could
talk to us by the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins
and the rest of the Vision, and Seth left his

(16:19):
comrades at ringside told him to stay put stand guard
so that he can enter the ring with Cody and
they could share the ring all by themselves. So the
fans chanted cm punk at Seth Rollins, who was not
on the show tonight. He was nowhere to be found.
He was not even really mentioned, and Rolin said that
he knows what that idiot thinks of him, but what

(16:41):
he needs to know is what Cody thinks of him.
Cody said that Seth changed his life. He goes it's complicated, go,
Seth changed his life. He came back at WrestleMania and
Seth had the courage to stand across from an opponent
that he didn't even know, because remember when Seth had that,
he didn't know who his opponent was going to be

(17:02):
that night, he said he changed his life again at
Hell and a Cell when he allowed Cody to show
what he had deep down inside of him. And Seth
changed his career at WrestleMania of forty because he was
his shield so that he could bring the WWE Championship
home to his family. He goes, it shouldn't be complicated.

(17:23):
He just had Seth's wife on his podcast the other day.
The better question is Seth, what do you think of you?
It's not what do I think of you? What do
you think of you? And then he blew some smoke
up Seth sass and he put him over. But he
said that that Seth Rollins that he was just talking
about is not hiding behind those goons outside. So he's

(17:44):
not going to sling mud. He's going to say it
like it is. They have their magic crown jewel. What
can Cody do for Seth? Right now? Spoken like a
true politician. I mean he's already basically like what he's
out there, It's like he's painting. That's exactly what a
politician would say. What can I do for you? That's

(18:05):
what he wants to know. So Seth said, Cody may
have his ring, but let's talk about the watch on
Seth's wrist. He hasn't worn it a single time since
Cody gave it to him a wrestle Maye of forty
until tonight, and he needs to know was this real.
Was it a real gift or was it just a
token gesture? Because Cody is great at saying all the

(18:29):
right things about him when it suits him, Because in
Cody's next breath, he'll undermine everything that he stands for.
Cody stands here. He goes on interviews and he says
with a straight face that he is the right person
to lead this industry into the future. Cody calls himself
the quarterback. So if he really believed that, then what
does that say about Seth? To the way he sees it,

(18:52):
There's only two possibilities. Either Cody doesn't think he's good
enough he being Seth, or he doesn't think that Seth
is as good as he is. And those aren't goons
at Ringside. The vision isn't just a group of people.
It's an idea about what the future of this industry
looks like, and it runs through him. He is the

(19:13):
tip of that spear, not Cody. So Cody can be
the quarterback, but he will be Set's quarterback. And if
he doesn't agree with that, it doesn't matter because in
three weeks the truth will come out by any means necessary.
He said, this is not a two man show. He
is the alpha Arizona Zombie, says corporate Cody. You know,

(19:39):
the more I see him out there like that, it
is just a matter of time, isn't it. Yeah, he's
still very popular and gets cheered by the crowds and everything.
But we we at some point are going to get corporate,
you know, kind of corporate politician. Cody as a heel,
and I think he'll do very well. Cody said, he

(20:01):
just has two questions for Seth. In the three matches
that they've had together, they've all been one on one
at Crown Jewel. Will that be the case? And more importantly,
in the three matches that they've had, more importantly being
the keywords here, Seth Rollins, how many of them have
you won? That was his mic drop moment. Cody had

(20:24):
nothing else to say at that point. He didn't have
to say anything else. That was it. He was done.
And by the way, you know, he mentioned our matches
before have been one on one. Will that be the
same at Crown Jewel. He brings up a good point.
I kind of feel like in this situation they actually
should work it in the way that AW does with
the Continental title, Like they have Continental rules where people

(20:46):
are not allowed to interfere in the match. These Crown
Jewel matches right as big as they are, Champion against champion,
brand against brand. Right, it's a special occasion. You got
to ring in a belt. The same kind of rules
should apply, but he should be allowed to interfere, even
though it is completely goofy the idea that you even
would have that stipulation, Because if you can have a

(21:08):
stipulation for a match that says no interference allowed, why
wouldn't every match have that stipulate, Like if you have
two general managers on these shows who can't put their
brains together and say, hey, you know what, maybe we
should have that rule in every match, but we can't
because it's pro wrestling and it would kill whatever story
devices we have. But just the goofiness of it just
always makes me laugh. But there shouldn't be any interferes

(21:31):
if we're being honest, allowed in these Crown Jewel title matches.
But Cody left the ring and he went to go lead,
but he ran into the Goon squad standing at ringside.
Bron Breaker and Bronson Reid. Paul Hammon told them to
move aside so that Cody could exit and they allowed
him to do so, so there was no physicality here.

(21:54):
I couldn't care less about the gaudy belt that we
see once a year. I couldn't care less about the
nice ring that he was sporting tonight, that again we'll
hear about and see for maybe two weeks out of
the entire year. I mean, who gives a shit. What
I will say though, is that at least this year,
there is real, genuine history. There's a lot of story

(22:18):
and history here between these two men, and it was
actually very smart to and I don't know if this
was the logic in doing this three years ago, but
when Cody came back to the company in twenty twenty two,
he won it WrestleMania. He won the following match. I
don't remember what show that would have been. What show
would that have been. What was the middle match that

(22:40):
they had? Was that Extreme Rules or I don't think
it was back Lab, whatever show it was. I always
just remember the first match and the third match, third
match being hell in his cell. But he won all
three of them. And I don't know if the logic
at that time was let's do it this way so

(23:02):
that eventually we know we're going to circle back around
to this, and there's going to be a story there
just waiting to be told that Seth Rollins can't beat Cody.
He's never been able to beat Cody. Will come back
around to it, right because it's smart. It's smart. Here
we are now three years later and they're already telling
that story. You know, every time that we stepped foot

(23:22):
in the ring together, I've beaten you. So can Seth
Rollins beat Cody or is he just unable to do so?
Now they've done similar stories even now in WWE, they've
been telling the story about how Rhea can't beat Eo
and even tonight in the main event, you know Osca
can't beat Rhea. But it's just a good story for

(23:43):
them to have in their back pocket that they could
circle back to and guess what time to pay up.
Here we are, it's time to tell that story. So
Seth is finally going to get his win back over
Cody in Perth because I look at this and I say,
this is a Seth Rawlins way. He's not losing to
Cody for a fourth time. Cody was just successful by

(24:05):
the way at Wressell Palooza, Seth was not. We're heading
into Wargames. You got to keep the Vision strong going
into that Wargames match. If you assume the Vision is
going to play a role in the men's Wargames match
this year, it just makes sense. And yes, I do
think somebody will probably get involved. It will not be clean.
Whether it's the Vision, whether it's Drew McIntyre, something is
going to happen. Someone is going to get involved, which

(24:28):
is why they don't have those rules. But I do
think Seth Rollins is finally going to end that streak
and he's going to get that win back. At Crown Jewel,
we had Joe Tessitur and Wade Barrett at ringside and
they were narrating about how the Bronze beat the Ussos

(24:48):
at Wressell Palooza. Solomonster is ignoring us like a women's
US title. Oh man, I'll getting me started on that.
Hey forgotten son, Welcome to the channel, Solomon. I love

(25:12):
that Solomaster ignoring us like triple H. Triple H ignoring
a women's US title. Feud. So yeah, Joe Testator and
Wade Barrett they talked about how bron Breaker and Bronson
reed they beat the Ussos. They Wrestle Palooza. So backstage,
Jimmy Usso finds his brother wants to have a chat
with him in the back. It was Backlash. Okay, thank you, Ricky.

(25:34):
I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure what show, so I
don't know. I wasn't sure they brought Backlash back at
that point, but I guess they did. So Jimmy said that, uh,
you know, he knows they can beat the Vision, So
he was gonna go to Adam Pearce to ask for
a rematch against bron Breaker and Bronson Reid, and he

(25:58):
was informed that Jay had gone to get his own match. Jay,
by the way, he had some tape on his forehead
covering the stitches that he had put in his head
after the steel chair ricocheted back into his skull and
busted him open hard way at Wressell Palooza. So yeah,
Jimmy was taken aback when he found out that his

(26:18):
brother had gone behind his back to get his own
match here on the show against La Knight. And he
said to him, is this a good idea? And Jay
thinks that they would have won it Wressell Palouza if
La Knight wasn't the referee of their match, and he
thinks the Vision would have taken care of La Knight
if Jimmy didn't tag with him. So Jimmy asked if

(26:40):
Jay was trying to blame him, and Jay said no, no, no,
we just have a lot to handle and we'll do
it after I body La Knight tonight. After this, it
was The New Day and Grayson Waller against Penta and
the war Raiders in a no disqualification match. Xavier Woods

(27:01):
wore a gigantic black hat a few weeks ago. Remember
it was almost like a witch's hat that you would
wear for Halloween season. That was a few weeks ago
because they were in mourning. They've been in mourning for
about five months now after losing their tag team titles.
So this week all three of them were wearing these giant, ridiculous,
oversized black hats. They put the hats on during the

(27:24):
commercial break and so the baby Faces all stole the hats,
put the mom posed with them. They even did Penta's
Little Dance with the hats on. This all happened during
commercial coffee. Kingston hit Penta with a diving leg drop
off the top turnbuckle through a slim gym table outside
the ring, which the camera missed because Xavier Woods was

(27:45):
standing right there. It was blocking the cameraman. Wasn't the
cameraman's fault, but they just immediately replayed it. After Eric
brought both members of New Day all by himself off
the ropes and he actually walked with them and then
he dumped him down onto the map, which got a
great reaction from the crowd. It was actually very impressive.

(28:06):
Ivar went up top and he went for a moon salt.
New Day was able to avoid it. Penta avoided going
through another table that was propped up in the corner,
another slim gym table. He was slung in. He stopped himself.
He turns around. Kofi Kingston comes charging in and he
delivers an overhead suplex and through the table goes Kofi Kingston.

(28:28):
Grayson Waller cracked a kendo stick across Penta's back. Penta, though,
fought him off and then finished Waller off with an
avalanche Mexican Destroyer to win the match for his team.
A crazy finish, Thankfully, it was the finish that's a
good thing. But they've been doing a good job though

(28:49):
with the Mexican Destroyer and keeping it pretty protected. So
I wasn't expecting him to kick out here. I mean,
I was just hoping he didn't break his neck. It
looked great. And as far as the feud here, I mean,
this has been going on for so long now. I
don't know how many weeks this has been going on for.
I don't even remember what sparked it. Like I was

(29:12):
sitting here and I was like, how did this start?
Like how did the New Day and Penta come to
begin feudi? And I couldn't remember. That's how long it's
been going on for. I don't even think they remember
what they were fighting about. But now this notice qualification,
big avalanche destroyer, another win for Penta. That should be

(29:34):
the end of this. I know it won't be. I'm
not naive, but this felt like, Okay, this is a
good place to put a period on this and get
this guy out of this into something else. But the
match itself was pretty fun and the crowd was into it. Again.
It was your typical WWE weapons match. There was really

(29:54):
nothing different about it than you would typically see in
a match like this with the tables and the kendos.
But the finish was the memorable part. Of the match.
Now in the back after Dominic Mysterio walked into the
Judgment Day clubhouse. He wanted their help with Russev. So
earlier in the show and they were showing all the
wrestlers coming into the building and everything. They showed La night.

(30:17):
He was walking in the back and behind La and
I you could see Ruscev throw dom up against like
the equipment cases. It was yelling at him, he wants
his shot at the Intercontinental title. It was like a
little easter egg in the background. So here Dominic is
looking for some help. He needs help with Russev and
Finn Balor and JD McDonough they're not interested, and Balor

(30:40):
was wondering, where's your friend del Grande Americano. How come
he can't help you. Dom was like, well, he's back
in Mexico right now. So Baler said, I'm busy, and
then he continued fiddling around on his tablet whatever it
was that he was doing. So Roxanne Perez talked JD
McDonough into helping dom She said, look, member of the

(31:00):
family should help him, and McDonough said, okay, only because
it's for the betterment of the Judgment Days. For what's
best for the family. He was going to go talk
to Adam Pierce, and Dom's like, oh, I already talked
to Adam Pierson. Got you a matric Russeph Thanks, Buddy,
and McDonough and Balor were not very happy about this. Elsewhere, backstage, Bailey,

(31:22):
who was wearing the same jacket that Cem punk Wart
wrestled Palooza that said AJ's husband on it, she met
with Lyra Valkyria. Lyra was just sitting there minding her
own business. Now she sees Bailey coming over, and this
woman is like traumatized now because she never knows what
version of Bailey she's going to get. She's always on
pins and needles around this woman. But Bailey is all

(31:43):
smiles and she comes over and she's being overly friendly
and very surprised to learn that Bailey was not mad
at her. After Bailey called her an idiot last week
for walking into her dressing room unannounced and Bailey had
no idea what she was talking about. Bailey asked her
to be at ringside for her match tonight against Rox Sanperez,

(32:04):
and Lyra was very hesitant, but she eventually relented and said, Okay,
I'll be in your corner, big mistake. During the commercial
break Byron Saxton interviewed Paul Hayman up on the concourse
and he asked Hayman if his appearing with Brock Lesner
on Saturday at Russell Palooza was an indication that they

(32:27):
had re established their working relationship together, and of course
Hayman ignored him and instead opted to hype up the
Rollins and Cody match. He said, Cody's streak comes to
an end at Crown Jewel. He knows a thing or
two about conquering the streak, so this will be his

(32:47):
next streak to conquer, which I believe they will. After this,
the Raw General manager Adam Pierce pulled himself away from
the bar and made his way back to the arena
here for this next segment to introduce the brand new
Women's World Champion, Stephanie Vicaire after her show stealing match

(33:09):
on Saturday. The only real, truly redeemable thing about Russell
Palooza on Saturday, Stephanie Vicaire and Eosky had an excellent
match and Stephanie is the new Women's Champion, and they
pointed as she is the first South American born women's
World champion in WWE history Stephanie. And this is a

(33:30):
big spot for her because how often do we see
Stephanie Vicaire get Mike time in the middle of the ring, right,
She's barely been on the show, right. She talked this weekend,
by the way, about she was very sick recently and
that was why we hadn't seen her on the show
the last couple of weeks. Doesn't explain why we didn't
see her for the entire month of August. That's a

(33:51):
whole other story. But she's obviously feeling. She didn't look
sick on Saturday. Didn't affect her performance, that's for sure,
But this is a big opportunity for her now to
actually cut a promo and address the crowd. And she's
talked also recently about taking English classes weekly. She's working

(34:12):
very hard on her English. So she talks about how
this was her dream and she didn't know if it
would happen, but she sacrificed and it finally happened. She
also mentioned her father, who they showed in the front row.
He was very happy. He even walked into the arena
with her earlier in the show, but he was there

(34:33):
on Saturday, he was in the front row. They flew
him in from Chile and he was there to see
his daughter win the World Championship, so he was there
tonight as well. Pierce told Stephanie that it Crowned Jewel.
She's going to be facing the winner of the triple
threat match that is taking place on SmackDown this Friday
between Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill and Naya Jax. Whoever wins

(34:54):
that match is going to be the WWE Women's Champion
and a Crown Jewel Champion against champion. They will be
fighting Stephanie for the Crown Jewel title and the ring.
So Stephanie said that she'll be there. I assume that
meant she'll be on SmackDown this Friday. Pierce said, I
knew you would be, and then he introduced her one

(35:14):
last time as the new champion and they shot off
a bunch of piro on the stage. She said a
little bit more than that, but that was pretty much
the gist of the promo. Look, her English is getting better,
you could tell like it's still a little bit of
a struggle for her, and she talks about that in
interviews that she does where it's like when she the

(35:37):
way she does it, I thought it was very interesting
the way she described it. She is converting the words
in her head in real time, like she thinks about
what she wants to say in Spanish and then takes
a few seconds to in her brain convert it to
English and then it comes out. So that's how she
described that process. And it's still an ongoing, you know,

(36:00):
struggle for her. But all things considered, I mean, obviously
she's working hard at it. It's improved. You can understand
what she's saying. I mean, it's not perfect. It's still broken,
but you know what, she'll keep learning and it'll improve
and she'll get better and she'll be fine. You know,
she's a tremendous talent. She's not just a beautiful woman obviously,
I mean, she's unbelievably attractive, but she's a tremendous wrestler,

(36:24):
Like she's the total package. Her verbal skills in terms
of coming out in front of a live crowd and
cutting a promo, that's the weakest part of her game.
And even that, it's okay and it will get better
over time, and the fans love her. I mean, she's
on the main roster now for a matter of months,
and she's already one of the most popular stars they
have on the entire brand, and she has barely been

(36:48):
on the show. So it's only uphill from here for Stephanie,
and I'm very happy to see her getting that opportunity again.
I think I would have waited a little bit longer
on that, but they had their store worried that they're
doing with EO and that did not involve her being
the world champion. So Stephanie was walking backstage after this

(37:10):
and she ran into Nicki Bella. Nicki, but I what
does Nicki Bella do on these shows? She's not in
the ring right, So she shows up and what does
she do? Is she wrestling on main event? She playing
cards in the back? Three card Monty like, what is she?
What is she doing? I don't know. But she's always

(37:32):
very happy to see people. Oh, congratulations, and she's so
excited and happy for everybody else. So she's congratulating Stephanie
on her win. And Rhea Ripley shows up and she
congratulates Stephanie on her win, and she in a very
friendly way, she reminds her that I'm coming after your
title Stephanie says, I'm ready, so Osca and Kyrie sayin

(37:56):
show up. So now here's Osca and she's doing Osca things.
You know, she's kind of dancing around here, and she's
got a big smile on her face. She's got the
clown makeup on her face. And Oscar said Stephanie doesn't
deserve to be the champion. Nicki said that Stephanie did
deserve to be the champion and she would be an
amazing champion. Stephanie then told Osca that she would be

(38:19):
thrilled to show her why she's the champion anytime she
wants to fight. So Rhea Ripley got up in Oscar's
face after Stephanie and Nicky walked away. Nicki is just chilling.
She's serving green beans and catering. Yeah, I'll put the

(38:41):
question to all of you. Let's come up with the
best ideas here. What does Nicky Bella do when she's
flown in for these shows and then we don't see
her doing really anything of any note on a roll?
What exactly do you think Nicki Bella is doing backstage?
I mean, catering is the obvious thing. She's got to
be doing something got to put her to work in

(39:06):
some way. So Ria gets up in Oscar's face says,
I've been trying to stay out of your way out
of respect for EO, but I'm getting very tired of
your attitude. Oscar said she's sick of Rihea, and she
warned her to stay away from EO or she would
show her why she is not ready for Osca. Ripley

(39:29):
said that she is ready for Osca, and then she
said that they could settle it in the ring tonight.
You could hear all the fans in the arena. They
popped huge. We're going to get to see Rhea Ripley
in action here, and Oscar accepted. So she walks away
and Kyrie grabs Rhea's hand and she was about to apologize,

(39:53):
but before she could apologize to Ria, Ripley yes, yes,
poor Kyrie, and Kyrie ran off to go join Oscar.
It's a poor woman. It's poor. A woman's like a
hostage every week on this show. It's terrible. But that's

(40:15):
a big match to make, and I was very excited
that we were getting an actual main event that did
not involve La Night or the fucking vision that right
there is a massive improvement over what we've been getting
on this show for the last month, month, six weeks,
whatever the fuck it's been. It's been too long. So
it was nice and Rhea Ripley. Look, she's been on
the back burner for a while now. I don't think

(40:36):
she has a single match on the last two pls
you give me Ria Ripley and Oscar in the main event.
I am seated. I will be here watching that match.
And yes, they had a WrestleMania match. Wwe won't tell
you that, but they had a WrestleMania match back in
twenty twenty one. That was that first WrestleMania after the
empty Arena WrestleMania that they had at the Performance Center.

(40:57):
That was thirty six. Yeah, Kyrie blink twice. If you
need help, Bailey against Roxanne Perez. You know what I'm
gonna have to do. I think I'm gonna have to
make a What do you think about making a Kyrie
super chat. We just hear Oscar is screaming her name.

(41:22):
We have a picture of Kyrie. We like this terrified
look on her face. Oh man, Bailey against Roxanne Perez.
Wade Barrett noted that Roxanne was tied with La Knight
for this could go any number of places. No, she's
not tied for the most number of losses in WWE

(41:43):
this year. They're tied for the most number of matches
in WWE. I'll tell you what you know. There are
people who will shit on La Night and say that
you know, he'll never be a world champion, He'll never
you know, go higher than he is now, which is
probably true, but they'll attribute it to his age. Now
he's over forty, he's too old, and they're not going
to invest in him or his body's gonna break down. Meanwhile,

(42:05):
this guy's going out there. He's having more matches than
anybody else on the roster. I don't want to hear
anything about the guy's age. He's out there doing fucking
leaping elbows off the top rope with the four way
at Clash in Paris. He was on fire that match.
He had the biggest spot of the match. I think
he jumped from the top rope to the fucking table.
He's got more matches than anybody else's entire year. I

(42:27):
don't want to ever hear anybody say a fucking word
about this guy's age. But he brought up the fact
that Roxanne is tied with him, and how the experience
that she's gaining is going to make her better and better. Yeah,
thank you. Damian Priest is older, we have a break.

(42:48):
The way some people talk about him, you would think
he's walking around with like a walking stick, like Gandalf
or something like shut the fuck up. So Roxanne targeted
Bailey's left knee heading into an early break. Perez hit
a pop Rocks on the floor. She returned to the ring.
She was more than happy to take the count out
win here. Bailey, though, was able to manage her way

(43:10):
back into the ring. Roxanne distracted the referee while Raquel,
who was in her corner, pulled Bailey to ringside and
kicked her lyra Valkyria, who of course was invited by
Bailey to be at ringside in her corner, went after
Raquel and ran Rodriguez into the ring post Roxanne saw
this and hit Valkyria with a suicide dive out to

(43:33):
the floor. Is that true? He's only two years older
than Cody. Cody is thirty nine, right, I think Cody
is on the cusp of forty. I mean, look, we
had Oscar in the main event tonight, Oscar's forty forty one.
I don't know what her exact age is, but I

(43:55):
feel like the majority of this of like the top
part of the fucking roster, is at least forty like.
If you want to come up with an excuse why
La Knight can't ascend higher than he currently is, I
don't think you could attribute it to the number that's
attached to his name. There are other very valid reasons
why he isn't higher up on the car. It has
everything to do with the fucking booking, but we won't

(44:15):
get into that right now. So anyway, Roxanne, like I said,
she got taken out or she took out Lyra with
a suicide dive. And at that point Bailey's demeanor changed
and she grabbed Perez by the hair. She very aggressively
pulled her back into the ring. Bailey hit her with

(44:36):
the Bailey to belly and then a knee strike and
then a rose plant, and she picked up the wind.
After the match, Bailey rolled Perez out to the floor.
Lyra got into the ring and she was very excited
and happy for her friend, and she was applauding her,
and she went and hugged her and Bailey was not

(44:57):
the lovable smile bailing Bailey that ran into her in
the backstage area earlier in the show. Bailey was not
a fan of her putting her hands on her, so
Bailey shoved Valkyria to the mat and she yelled at
her for touching her and also said that her outfit
looks stupid. So Bailey rubbed her temples at that point

(45:18):
like this, she's rubbing like the voices. The voices were
talking to her. This was me watching Russell Palooza on
Saturday and Bailey left the ring. The crowd was into
Bailey during the match. They were with her all the way,
and then they boot her when she shoved Valkyria down.
So we are getting the split personality. We're getting baby

(45:40):
faced Bailey and then we're getting healed Bailey. And you
can't push her. Don't push her too far. You push
her too far, you're going to get the heel version
of Bailey. It's too early to know where this is
going to go as far as can this character, you know,
be successful. Is this a character that is going to
grab people's attention and hold it make for great television?

(46:02):
Is it going to lead to a championship win of
some kind for Bailey. I don't know, it's too early
to tell. Is it goofy? Is it over the top?
It is, but no more so than a lot of
other shit that we see in wrestling. It's all in
how they handle it. When they were airing those vignettes
where we could hear the voices in Bailey's head, that
was goofy and stupid, right, I mean, you're either Luca

(46:23):
Underground or you're not. You know what I mean, You're
not Lucia Underground, where you kind of accept that they
do a lot of supernatural, goofy shit, that's not what
this is. So that was dumb. But I do think
there's a way that you can do a character like
this and make it compelling. And I hope it works
because for the longest time since she came back from
her injury, Bailey was doing a whole lot of nothing,

(46:44):
and they didn't have anything really interesting or compelling for
her to do in the slightest, you know, coming out
of the damage Control split. So I hope it works out.
It's certainly the most interesting thing they've had her doing
in a very long time. Yeah, exactly, King t in
the chat mentions Tony Storm. Tony Storm is just like

(47:06):
the textbook example of this, Like when you go back
and look at what she had that breakdown and became
timeless and then all the goofy shit that she was doing,
but she made it work. She's got one of the
best characters in all of wrestling. You can make it work.
It's all about you know. It all boils down to
the material that you're working with and how what you

(47:30):
do with it on television and the story that you
tell with it. Backstage, Jimmy USO caught up with Cody
Rose and congratulated him on his big win at Wrestle Palooza.
Cody asked how Jay was doing, and Jimmy said that
Jay was in his own head and he wouldn't listen
to him, but you might listen to you if you're
willing to talk to him. So Cody said, yeah, I'll

(47:52):
talk to him. Cody approached Jay after a commercial break
and said that Jimmy was worried about him, and Jay
said the Big gym was always tripping and he told
Cody not to worry. Cody said that he knew what
Jay felt like right now. He said there were highs
and lows, wins and losses. People in their position, they
isolate themselves. But Cody reminded Jay that he has his family,

(48:14):
he has his friends, and he has his fans. Cody
told him, we believe in you. Jay told him not
to worry. Goes, I'm a fine by way back up
to the top, and Cody said that's great. He left
and Jay stared at him as he left. It is
worth noting that during this segment. I don't know if
you picked up on this, but Jay was staring at

(48:37):
the WWE Championship. Oh no, I hope we're not trading
one title hunt for another. I really don't want to
see that. But I will say this, Jay acting more
like a tweeter. It is giving him more of an
edge to his character that I think he needed. I
do think he needed something like that. I think the

(49:00):
things interesting, like, I don't know where this ends, this
sort of pissed off attitude that he's, you know, carrying
around with him. What's the end goal for it? What
does it lead to if somebody goes heel? I don't
see it being Jay. Is it La Night? Is it
somebody else that he's working with? I don't know, but
that's good. That's good instead of him just coming out

(49:21):
and being the yeat man, at least they're again they're
trying to add levels here to his character, which is
going to make it more interesting in the long run.
We had JD McDonough against Russev. Russev was in complete
control until McDonough kicked the steel steps into his legs.
McDonough followed with an Asai moon salt ahead of a
commercial break. He continued to shine, got some spots in

(49:45):
after the break, including a moon salt that only got
him a two count. McDonough hit Russev with multiple clothes lines,
could not knock him down. Russev landed a Machka kick,
then he applied the accolade, and Dominic Mysterio, who was
out there in JD's corner, gets up on the apron
as if he's going to come in and distract or
he's going to interfere, but he thinks better of it.

(50:08):
He is frozen in fear, I guess and does nothing,
and so JD McDonough ends up submitting, And yes, Robert says,
JD lasted longer than I thought. I look, I thought
this was going to be more of a squash than
it ended up being, just because they're really trying to
build up. Russev is being dominant and JD got more

(50:29):
offense than I was expecting him to get. So, I
mean it was a pretty solid match for the time
that it lasted. But Dom didn't do anything. He got
up on the apron and he just froze and he
let his friend get killed, and then Russev won the match.
Russev would not let go of the hold after the
match was over, and Dom just stood there. So Baler
ran out and he gave Rusev a reverse DDT before

(50:53):
Rusev could get up, Judgment Day escaped. Balor was scolding Dominic,
you know, if you're going to help, you need to
help McDonough, who is like half dead here is in
between these two, basically just begging them, please stop fighting,
please stop fighting. So the match was between two heels. Also,

(51:13):
I feel like the crowd didn't really know who to
react to. But you know, some of JD's offense they
get behind. But again it's the Judgment Day, like the
only person that people will sometimes really cheer for if
they really like him in certain cities or whatever. Is
domb It's a heal faction, so I don't know that
the fans knew who to really get behind here. But

(51:35):
Russev is playing the role of you know, the killer
monster here. He's going after the intercontinental title. I dig that.
I still think that you know what, you put the
title on him. That's fine. Seamus is going to come
back around at some point. Right now, he's taking a break.
They're not doing anything with him right now. He's filming
his Celtic Warrior workouts and biding his time when Triple

(51:57):
H is ready to finally do this Intercontinental title story
with him. Hopefully that's the direction here. Backstage, Eo Sky
is with Osca and Kyrie, and EO tells Osca, you
don't need to go through with this match tonight against
Rhea Ripley. Oscar said the match was happening and she
would teach Ripley some respect. She said that she didn't

(52:18):
need advice from someone who lost. So EO tried to
speak with Kyrie after Oscar left, and Kyrie said that
Oscar is the reason that they were that they were there,
and she was hesitant while saying that we have to
listen to her, but before she could say more, off,

(52:43):
she went poor Kyrie Elsewhere. Jackie Redman interviewed La Knight
and asked about the way that he refereed the tag
team match of Russell Palooza. Knight said that he was
trying to make sure that Jay was okay when Jay
shoved him out of the way and he took a spear.
Knight said that he wasn't trying to hurt Jay, but

(53:04):
he would if he had to. Knight said that Jay
would get a BFT for his troubles. Yeah, that's right,
and that's what we had coming up next. It was
La Knight one on one against Jay Usso Jay came out.
He was wearing all his gear is a little bit
different now he's wearing all black. He's got white sneakers,
but he's wearing basically all black. Got his full entrance

(53:27):
through the crowd yeating with the little kids. Knight entered,
but as he came down from the middle rope, Jay
attacked him before the match officially began, wouldn't even let
the man get his vest off. So Jay was all
over Night until Knight cut him off with a neck breaker.
Jay avoided a charging dropkick through the ropes outside and

(53:47):
then clotheslined him down to regain control heading into a break.
After the break, we saw La Knight scale the ropes.
He brought Jay down with the superplex. Yeah, that's another
thing he does. Then every match that he does the leap,
the running vertical leap up to the top rope for
the superplex. Doesn't look like an old man to me

(54:09):
when he's out there. I don't know what people are
expecting from this guy. Not enough Topey Conehilo's for you.

the superplex, they traded strikes until Night ducked one and

(56:59):
he hit a reverse death valley driver. I thought he
was going to go for a burning hammer, but it
was basically a reverse DVD for a near fall. Jay
followed later with a suicide dive and a superkick. Knight
responded with a DDT and his jump up diving elbow
drop for a two count bron Breaker and Bronson bron

(57:21):
Breaker and Bronson Reid ran out, so Knight attacked them
both before they could enter the ra Of course, you
can't have an La Night match on this show without
the vision referee just watched all of this transpire, just
stood by and watched all of this happen. Knight re
entered the ring, but he ran into a spear. Jay

(57:42):
followed with a Nuso splash and he got the win.
Another fucking loss for La Night. Six out of his
last seven television matches have been losses, and basically all
of his recent pl matches right, I mean, god, did
he have one at Summer Slam. I don't even think

(58:03):
he had a match at SummerSlam Clash in Paris. He lost.
Didn't even have a match on the last show he
was a referee. Jimmy joined Jay on the stage as
Jay was heading to the back, and Jimmy was like,
gotta go help him then because he was surrounded. L A.
Knight now was surrounded by the Vision in ringside, and
Jay didn't care, so he left. Jimmy grabbed the chair,

(58:25):
he sprinted to the ring. He invited the Bronze into
the ring. Paul Hayman, though, told him no holding him back,
especially bron Breaker. He looked like he was about to
murder and Hayman was able to calm him down and
they left together. So now this sets up a rematch
for next week's show. They've already announced it. It's going
to be the Ussos against bron Breaker, and Bronson reed

(58:47):
this time it's going to be a Tornado tag team match,
so we'll see I mean, look, I don't know how
many times we're going to see this until they move
on to whatever the next phase of this is. I understand,
you know, you build something up over a period of weeks,
but it does get to a point where and this
is we've already passed that point with La Knight where

(59:10):
it's like, my god, my God. You know what, though
La Knight is someone it's gonna be very interesting to
see what he's doing in six months, because he is.
He is a great test case for the importance or
lack thereof in twenty twenty five of wins and losses,
because all he does, by and large is go out

(59:31):
there and lose. But if he can stay popular or
dare I say, even hold championship gold at some point
and stay over or get over even more, I think
that that will be a very interesting thing to wait
and see if that actually happens, because I still believe that, yes,
wins and losses do matter. I know road Dog and

(59:53):
certain people think they don't matter anymore. I think they do.
In the case of La Night, though for all the
losing that he's done, he shouldn't be over as he is.
But he is still very popular. He's like a rare
example of that. I do think though the more he
continues to lose, at some point that might change because
people are just gonna get tired of it and go, Man,

(01:00:14):
we keep investing in this guy, and we like this guy,
and we think that, you know, he could be a champion,
he could be doing something really big. But then he
just goes out there when he craps the bed every
single time. At some point that house of cards is
going to come crashing down. And yet here we are
and he continues to be very popular, which is great
for him. But I'm just wondering, Okay, where does this

(01:00:35):
go for him? Like I said, get him off SmackDown.
He's dying a death on SmackDown. He needs to be
on Raw, and now he's on Raw, and it's almost like,
I don't want to say he's in a worse position.
I don't think he's in a worse position. He's still
in a good spot right because he's part of one
of the top stories on the show and he was

(01:00:55):
Maine eventing the show week after week after week. But
it's very uneasy because he loses every match that he's in,
every time he's in the main event. So I'm just wondering,
in six months, when we get closer to WrestleMania, where
does La Knight fall. Like when people talk about the
WWE title match, the World Heavyweight title match, no one's
talking about him. Where does he fall on that card

(01:01:17):
in Vegas next year? Where do you think he lands?
Seth Rollins was seated backstage in his dressing room. He
was staring at the watch that Cody Rhodes gave him,
and Becky Lynch is behind him, and she's pacing back
and forth and rambling on about inventing basically about Cody

(01:01:41):
and the USOS and Cmpunk and aj Lee and being
the best in the world and the greatest of all time.
And it's not just her saying it's Sports Illustrated says it,
and the Bleacher Report says it. So she told Rollins,
you know what, I'm going to go make an example,
and she grabbed her title and she left the room,
and Seth was still and really just not paying attention.

(01:02:02):
She was going to go make an example. We never
saw her again for the rest of the show. So
make an example out of who or what. I don't know.
She got beat by aj Lee at Russell Palooza. At
some point you would assume we're going to get an
intercontinental title match. I don't know if that means Crown Jewel.
But she was going to go make an example and
we never did find out what she was going off

(01:02:22):
to make an example of. Elsewhere in the back, Eosky
approached Rhea Ripley Ria. Ripley is a grown adult. She
is a grown adult woman, and she asked, are we
allowed to be around each other? EO said that she
needed to call this match off. Ripley said that Oscar

(01:02:43):
had been disrespectful and that maybe they could beat some
respect into one another. Ripley told EO to be careful,
please be careful around Osca, and EO took this the
wrong way. She was very offended by this and said
Oscar's family. She questioned whether she could trust Rhea and
she left and Rhea was like, no, EO, That's not
what I meant, and EO walked off. You know, is

(01:03:07):
this stuff very cheesy? Yes it is. It's a soap op.
As cheesy as it is, it is the best story
right now that is ongoing on Monday Night Raw. It's
been going on now for a few months, and I
think the fans are with it. I mean, you saw
their reaction to what we saw at the end of

(01:03:27):
the show, which we'll get into here in a second.
Cheesy or not, it is honestly the best story going
right now on Monday Night Ral. I'm not saying it's
the Bloodline at the peak of the Bloodline story but
it is the best story going on on Monday nights.
Right now, they're at a video package for Los Americanos,
making it seem like they were a part of Lucha
Libre history. They come back live and Maxine Dupree is

(01:03:52):
talking to Adam Pierce and asking for a match because
I want to be able to prove myself. How many
times I feel like I've seen some variation of this
multiple times on TV over the past year, Like once
every four months we'll see Maxine do Pre talking to
Adam Pierce begging for a match. It's like she's begging
for scraps. I picture it like the poor you know,

(01:04:14):
the animal that goes in the back alley behind the
Italian restaurant is just looking for whatever leftovers are there,
and you know, the guy comes out and goes, I
got something to fay you, and he gives me some food.
Like this woman is just begging for an opportunity, right.
But the other thought that occurred to me is so
much for the Dungeon Dolls Rest in Peace. Dungeon Dolls
twenty twenty five to two thousand, Remember they made two

(01:04:37):
to twenty twenty five. They made merch for them too.
By the way, I'm almost positive they still have shirts
up on WWE Shop for the team with her and Natty.
I don't think the Dungeon Dolls had a single match
on Raw outside of maybe maybe a gauntlet or something,
and maybe that's it. So so much for that, I
guess Maxine is back on her own and she's she's trying.

(01:05:00):
She's waiting for a singles She'll take anything, singles match,
tag team match. Maybe he can make her a referee.
He's made the Bianca Belle Air a referee. L A.
Knight's been a referee. He can make Maxine a referee.
This woman just wants to work. Pierce told her keep
working until I keep I'm gonna keep trying to find

(01:05:21):
somebody for you. I promise you I'm gonna keep working
on it. So she walks off AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
They approach Adam Pierce next. AJ said the Americanos were
pissing him off, and Dragon Lee wanted them in a
tag match next week. Pierce said that he would talk
to them. Why does he need their permission? I missed

(01:05:47):
something here? Why does he need their permission? Why does
he permit this random posse of masked men to keep
interfering on his shows week after week? Are these his
drinking buddies? Like? Who what is going on here? Styles
told Pierce maybe don't sign any americanos anymore and then

(01:06:10):
he left. Give us John Cena versus AJ Styles, You
you fucking cowards. I don't give a shit about this.
AJ and Sena before it's too late, Scene is tweeting
about it. Let's go, let's get it done. You want
to get a match signed. He can't be bothered with
Maxine dupre right now, he's got a bigger match that

(01:06:32):
he's got to try to sign. He just has to
navigate Sena's schedule, try to make it happen. But our
main event, what a main event? It is? Osca one
on one with Rear Ripley. Oscar was in control. She
was targeting the leg. Ripley came back with some closed lines,

(01:06:53):
a thrust kick, a drop kick, and a Northern Light
souplex for two. Osca avoided a razor's edge. Ripley responded
with a boot and a cannon ball off the apron
that led to actually what was the second commercial break
of this match. Ripley hit a super plex when they
came back. They traded strikes until Oscar got a jackknife
cover for two. Ripley followed with a thrust kick. She

(01:07:15):
hit the razor's edge. Shining Wizard followed for a near fall.
Oscar went for an armbar Ripley managed to escape and
she missed the charge. She collided with the turnbuckle. Oscar
followed with a hard kick to the head for two.
So Oscar knocks Rhea out of the ring and bounces
her head off the announced desk. Osca goes over and

(01:07:36):
says something to Kyrie before getting back in the ring,
probably you know, get ready to help. So Ripley tried
another kick. Oscar caught her in a leg lock instead.
Then Ripley tried getting to her feet, so Osca turned
it into a German sup plex. Oscar then came off
the top and Rhea caught her with a deadly drop kick.

(01:07:58):
It was actually a fucking work of art the way
she landed this dropkick, but it was a vicious looking
drop kick out of mid air. Oscar then starts shouting
some orders to Kyrie, and Kyrie reluctantly jumps up on
the apron on the opposite side, and she's got her
fist clenched and Kyrie went for a backfist. Ria blocked it.

(01:08:21):
Oscar then went for a running hip attack, but reamoved
and so Osca collided with Kyrie. Insane. Oh Kyrie, Kyrie instead,
not Kyrie insane. She'll do the insane elbow here in
a moment, but she knocks Kyrie off the apron by accident,
and then Rhea rolls up Osca and gets the wing.

(01:08:43):
Excellent match. Hated the finish. Terrible finish, but an excellent match. Otherwise.
It's just a cheap way to end such a great match.
I know why they did it, you know, I get it,
but it wouldn't bother me as much. I don't think
if they didn't do this shit and almost every single
other match on these shows every week. After the match

(01:09:05):
was over, Oscar wasn't done with her yet. Oscar blows
missed a lot of it in Rhea's face, and she
got her good too. Again. I'll put this picture back
up because it's just too funny. But Ria by the
time Ria, by the time this show was over, was
looking like a smurf. You think I'm lying you look
at that photo right there. So she was burning her

(01:09:29):
eyes she couldn't see her whole face just she looks
like she got some sort of weird, weird disease that
she picked up on an overseas trip or something. I
don't know, but Ria here clearly is in distress. Now,
Oscar orders Kyrie to attack, and she did so hesitantly.
They attacked Ripley until Eosky's music hit and Eosky sprints

(01:09:53):
out to the ring to make the same, to make
the same Avatar Ria, I think they have a new
movie coming out. When I went to go see Weapons,
they had the trailer for this new Avatar movie. How
many years did James Cameron spend working on that? One's
probably been working on that for what twelve years now?

(01:10:15):
Has he done anything else in the last twenty five
years other than working on these Avatar movies? She does
look like she's from Avatars, and she's still as sexy
as hell even as an Avatar. So yes, EO sprints
down to the ring and she is begging EO to

(01:10:37):
just stop, or she's begging Osca to just stop, trying
to calm her down, and Osca's in tears and they
end up hugging, and then Oscar suddenly drops EO with
a spinning backfist. The heel turn has officially been completed,
and the crowd booed as they are supposed to boo.

(01:10:57):
Oscar then commanded Kyrie to a hack Eo again. Kyrie
did not want to, but she did. What is this
spell that this woman has over Kyrie saying all of
a sudden, I don't know. I hope we find out
one of these days. Oscar noticed that Ryo was getting
back to her feet, so she knocked her down with
a spinning heel kick. Oscar held EO as Kyrie, still

(01:11:21):
in anguish over all of this, hid an insane elbow
off the top. The crowd booed as Oscar stood tall
with EO and Ripley laid out. This was an excellent
main event, top five all time heel turn, says Arizona Zombie. No, no, no,

(01:11:45):
it wasn't, but it was an excellent main event. Oscar
did officially turn heel and this now sets up the
obvious tag team match. I think you do it at
Crown Jewel. I think you do Oscar and Kyrie, saying
against Rhea, Ripley and Eosky, and then you build to
the match that I have been waiting for for many
months since the story started, which is eo Sky against OSCA.

(01:12:06):
When we eventually get that match between Eosky and OSCA,
it will hit like crack and I am waiting for
that match. I've been waiting for that match actually for
a long time, so that is going to be great,
But the tag team match comes first. I'm liking the story. Cheesy, sure,
but you know what, all the women involved here are
super talented and the combination of matches left for us

(01:12:28):
to get are great. As long as we don't get
it for seven weeks in a row like we're getting
with the Vision and the USOS in La night will
be okay. But I am liking this story, and it
was nice to have a super main event like the
one that we had on the show here tonight. That
was a very welcome change. I will say. Here is
the poll. What did you think of Raw from Evansville,

(01:12:53):
Indiana tonight? Sixty two point three percent thumbs up, twenty
percent thumbs in the middle, and we've got seventeen point
five percent thumbs down. With Jesh I have a thousand
votes in I think we had something like thirty three
hundred votes or whatever in the Wrestle Palooza pole. This
this looks a lot better than the Wressel Palooza pole

(01:13:15):
looks I'll tell you that much. But you can go
vote right now on Twitter at Solo Monster is the
place to go. We're seven out of ten on the
bonus goal in the chant. Let me see where we
are in the likes here, four to eleven. Very good.
We just passed the minimum goal for be the bookers,

(01:13:36):
So now it's up to you. We got three more
left and we might possibly be doing a double round
here tonight. I might be able to book John Cena
versus aj Styles myself before they do. I might be
able to do it and be the booker. Wouldn't that

(01:13:58):
be something? Wouldn't that be something? All right, let's get
into these super chats. Oh, it's a direction you can

(01:14:19):
fuck off? Is the direction that I can fuck? Was
that Libido Bell? I believe it was. It was indeed
Libido Bell? Thank you brother. I'm gonna get to yours
here in a little bit. Go through these questions here.

(01:14:46):
We're gonna start with Joseph Stewart, who I will tell you.
I will warn you, Joseph, Joseph has sent in a
bunch of questions, not a lot that has to do
with raw but that's okay, that's all right. Would you
like to see Michael Keaton as old Man Bruce Wayne

(01:15:09):
in a Batman Beyond movie? I would love to see
Michael Keaton play old Man Batman in more of a
proper movie and not just like a cameo type situation.
I would like to see that. Have you read the

(01:15:30):
Dark Knight Returns comic? I have not. I read The
Killing Joke many years ago graphic novel. But do you
think that we are going to see a dominic mysterio
versus Brock Lesner match? You know? Funny enough? We were
supposed to get that last year before Brock got pulled

(01:15:55):
for obvious reasons. Do I think we'll get it at
some point? I mean it all depends on how long
for I'm gonna say yeah, probably not for a while,
but I think eventually we will. Thoughts on Mickey James
getting inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame, I think

(01:16:15):
it's long overdue. I think that's a great move. Mickey
was a very important part of that Knockouts division. I
think it's a worthy induction. That's going to be a
part of Bound for Glory next month. Joseph says, another
nine ninety nine man, look at this, We had a
whole bunch of them here. Do you think Big Show

(01:16:35):
is going to return to WWE in the future. I
think he's content right now in AW. I mean, if
you were to come back to WWE, it would be
for like a Hall of Fame induction. He's not wrestling.
His in ring days need to be over. He's not wrestling.
So I'm going to say no, I think he's content
where he is right now in AW. Do you know

(01:16:58):
why Jacob Fought Too is not on television? And when
do you think Jacob Fatu will return to television? That's
a very good question. And somebody on Friday Night had
the great idea, and I was disappointed that they didn't
think along these same lines to get him involved in
the John scene of brock lesnar stuff where it Brock

(01:17:18):
did win in a dominant fashion and maybe kept attacking scene,
or even if Seena beat him and then Brock attacked
him after the match, you can have Jacob Fatu run
out to make the save. That would be your way
of sort of getting him involved in that story now,
but just picture it in your head, right because I
was thinking about this. Sceina is being murdered right f
five after f five, after f five. This has to

(01:17:42):
be stopped. Somebody has to save this man. Out comes
Jacob Fatu, all wild and wound up, and he gets
into the ring and he's kind of kneeling over scene
and he's looking up to Brock and he's like, here,
try me, try me right, and Brock's like laugh in,
but like that nervous laugh, and he's like aeah, fuck
this and he leaves. You've now established Jacob like at

(01:18:04):
this level up here, and you've gotten people excited for
the eventual match between him and Brock, which is a
fresh match that we've never seen before. You've taken this
new guy and you've elevated him to that next level,
and you've gotten him involved now in this top program
you know here on TV. And so you're using John

(01:18:24):
seen as retirement tour in a small way to help
elevate somebody who many people look at as they do
bron Breaker is one of the future faces of the company. Right.
What a great idea. There's a lot of things that
would have been better than what they did. That was
one of those potential ideas that would have been a
hell of a lot better than what we saw on

(01:18:45):
Saturday anyway, to help elevate Jacob, because Jacob is just
supremely talented and should not just be you know, tied
down to Solo Socoa and the MFTs for the rest
of the year. But yeah, we haven't seen him on
television at all lately, so but what a moment that
would have been, right, him coming in and then like

(01:19:06):
just looking up at Brock like what you're gonna do?
You know, you want to keep you want to keep
messing with him? Might'd you mess with me? Right? Little
face off? Rock backs off. That's how you get people
interested and all psyched up for a future match with
Brocklesser Joseph says, are there similarities between Bo Dallas's uncle

(01:19:30):
Howdie and Raven with their gimmicks? Not really. I don't
really think of Raven when I look at bo Dallas.
I just I think of Bray Wyatt. I can't help
I mean, they don't just look alike, they sound alike.
The character is inspired by Bray. The only person I
think of when I look at Bo Dallas is bray White.

(01:19:52):
It's just unavoidable. Who is your ECW Mount Rushmore? ECW
Mount Rushmore, Taz Saboo probably Taz Saboo, Raven and the
Sandman are the ones I would associate most if you

(01:20:16):
wanted RVD on there. He was the best athlete of
the bunch, But I think those would be my four.
Have you seen the movie Angel Heart by Or with
Mickey Rourke and Robert Dediro, I have not. No, you

(01:20:37):
thought I was kiddy with Joseph. We got a whole
bunch of them from him here before we get to
anybody else. But no, I have not seen that movie,
Joseph with another nine ninety nine. Have you seen the
Punisher movie with Dolph Lundgren as the Punisher? I did not.
I did not. Which was the one where Kevin Nash
played the Russian? Is that that one was at a

(01:21:00):
different punish for a movie? Have you seen the movie
The Big Lebowski with Jeff Bridges? Of course the dude.
Did you know Clint Eastwood almost played Old Batman in
the early two thousands in a Dark Night Returned live

(01:21:22):
action movie. I did not know that, Joseph says, I
miss dom and live Morgan together on television. Yeah, I
do too. They were very entertaining together. A few more months,
we'll get Live Morgan back. Do you remember the Batman
comic Death in the Family, That's the one Joker killed

(01:21:44):
Jason Todd's Robin. Well, you spoiled it for me now,
so now I have no need to read it. No,
I've actually not read that one. What is your favorite
episode of the Adam West Batman TV series? You know
I watched. I feel like I watched most of those episodes,
but I don't have a specific episode that really stands

(01:22:06):
out to me. I don't have like that one episode
that I remember. Were you a fan of Alicia Silverstone
as Batgirl in Batman and Robin? I liked her. I
always think of two movies when I think of her.
I don't think of Batman. I think of Clueless, of course,

(01:22:29):
and I think of The Crush. Those are those the
only two movies of hers that when I hear her name,
I ever think of. What is your favorite movie soundtrack? Oh? Wait, well,
before we get to that, what is your favorite Christian
Slater movie? Man? Wasn't Christian Slater on Mister Robot? I

(01:22:53):
only saw a couple of episodes of that show, but
I heard good things about it. I'm pretty sure he
was on that show. Christians God Christian Slater movies so weird.
I think about him and I get him and Kevin
Bacon mixed up. I'll say, man, I saw it many

(01:23:14):
years ago, Very Bad Things. It was a movie called
Very Bad Things. I think it came out of the
mid nineties or late nineties. What is your favorite movie
soundtrack of all time? That's actually pretty easy one for me.
I'm gonna i'll give you one. You want a great

(01:23:35):
movie soundtrack, you got to listen to the Tron Legacy soundtrack.
I think I got Tron Legacy is my number one. Now,
this one, I guarantee is probably not on any of
your lists, but I'm gonna give it to you anyway.
There was a movie. It came out about ten years ago. Probably.

(01:24:02):
It was called The Guest. It was not like a
blockbuster movie or anything like that, but it was called
The Guest. That soundtrack is awesome, So if you've never
seen the movie, you should see it. But that soundtrack
is fucking great. And that. If I had to name
a third one, I would give you The Dark Knight.
There you go. Those are some pretty badass soundtracks that

(01:24:23):
you should all go check out Young Guns two for Christians.
I never saw Young Guns too. I never saw Young
Guns one. Have you seen the movie Death Becomes Her
with Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, and Goldie Hawn. Yes, I did,
many years ago, many years ago. What is your favorite

(01:24:47):
Al Pacino and Robert de Niro movie of all time?
It's the one that they were in together, actually the
first movie they were ever in together, which was He
nineteen ninety five. Joseph says, I'm so happy to hear
Tarzan Boy back on aw television. So my, it's a

(01:25:10):
great song. Everyone popped big for the Jurassic Express reunion
the other day, and then they were singing the song
and they were swaying their arms back and forth to
the music. I'm glad that Lucasaurus is healthy again, because
I know for a while there last year it was
very very touch and go as far as his health.

(01:25:35):
Buy or sell Home alone one or Home alone two?
Home alone one. We have one more here from Joseph.
Believe it or not, we do have other people that
sent him messages. Can we can we say both Uncle

(01:25:56):
Frank and Buzz are the true villains of Home alone.
Frank is just a dick. Buzz was a real asshole
though it was it was Buzz's it was his spider right,
his tarantula. Thank you, Joseph, Joseph is awesome. We've got

(01:26:22):
death sythe Stephanie Viquaier forgot to say thank you Jimmy
Usso in her speech. I forgot about that. You know what,
You're right, You're absolutely right. She should have absolutely should

(01:26:45):
have thanked Jimmy Usso. Paul, Joseph. Joseph can send in,
however many questions he wants because he's supporting, and I
appreciate that. I'll see you on this list. Let him,
let him ask his questions. What's your problem? Pipe down?

(01:27:06):
We got Victor here. This will make Paul happy. We
have Victor. Has Hayman by now surpassed heenan if not,
why he has not? And this is the best way
that I can describe it. Hayman is great, Okay, Hayman

(01:27:28):
is fantastic, very good at what he does. He's managed
world champions in the last god decade whatever it's been.
I mean, right, He's been attached to most of the
top stories and top feuds in this company. All that
being said, he will never be the measuring stick. That's

(01:27:49):
what Bobby Heenan is. Bobby Heenen is the measuring stick
when it comes to managers in professional wrestling. There's a
reason why Paul Hayman does not call himself a manager.
He always corrects people like, I'm not a manager, right.
He's a great advocate, he's a great wise man, he's

(01:28:10):
a great oracles, all these things. But he doesn't call
himself a manager because he knows that he can never
be the best manager. But he could be the best
wise man, he could be the best oracle, he could
be the best all of these other things. And he
himself has said things to that effect because even he knows. So.

(01:28:30):
I feel like it's a lot easier for somebody who
is growing up a wrestling fan that never knew Bobby
Heenan and Bobby Heenan was before their time. All they
know is Paul Hayman. I could totally understand why somebody
would say, now, of course, Paul Hayman is number one. Like,
even if you became a wrestling fan and the ruthless
aggression era, that's when Hayman and brock Right were first

(01:28:54):
paired off, So you had no concept of Bobby Heenan
or Jimmy Hart or any these other great managers. But
you knew Paul Hayman, and you're like, man, I've been
watching wrestling for twenty five years and Paul Hayman was
managing the WWE champion. Even then, in your mind, Paul
Hayman's the goat, right, no one comes close. I just

(01:29:17):
I can't say that it's not true. And the thing is,
Hayman would say the exact same thing. He would agree
with me. I hope that answers your question, says buy
er sale nineteen ninety seven or two thousand. You've heard

(01:29:40):
what I've said before about two thousand was the best
creative year in WWE. I gotta go nineteen ninety seven
though nineteen ninety seven. Nineteen ninety seven was a turning
point year for that company. There were a lot of
important things that happened that year. There were a lot
of classic matches that happened that year that have stood

(01:30:00):
the test of time and still to this day are
some of the best matches in the history of that
company and the most influential nineteen ninety seven is uh
for me. It's an easy buy and as great as
two thousand was. I gotta sell on two thousand. Victor says,
what WWE wrestlers have the best list of rivals. Probably

(01:30:23):
most of the top names, honestly, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels,
the rock right, those are some of the obvious ones.
Terrible dried Chick in Triple H's creative mojo is shot

(01:30:43):
Jeremy Wattley with the five. I enjoyed the opening promo.
This is the SETH. I want to see, less cartoonish,
more genuine. Enough of the revolutionary nonsense. It's insufferable, it
really is it really and the cackle and you know,
the revel luary, I'm the visionary. It's just fucking lame.

(01:31:05):
It's just lame shit. When he gets more serious like that,
that's when he's at his best. We saw that with Punk,
Him and Punk, that was some of his best stuff.
Death's Side. If I bet, Triple H said to Brock
Sena's going over, But Brock replied that don't work for me, bitch. Yeah,

(01:31:31):
if that story is true, I would love to know.
That just makes it so much worse. Can you imagine
if that story is true and Sina was going to
go over that day. I thought Brock was My prediction
when I did the predictions last weekend was that Brock
was going to go over. I thought Brock was winning.
But the idea that Sina was going to win until

(01:31:52):
the morning of the show, and then they change their mind,
Like we already know how badly botched this John con
A retirement run has been like this. This retirement run
years from now will have to be studied when we
look back on this at how they bungled. Okay, because
they could still stick the landing, and I hope he
gets the retirement in December that he deserves. But the

(01:32:14):
way they have bungled this retirement run is a sight
to behold. How they didn't have this mapped out from
start to finish, I'll never know. And it all goes
back to the beginning of the year and the stories
that we heard, and we saw it on WWE's own
fucking unreal show. You would think that the scenes stuff

(01:32:35):
would be locked in and they're changing their minds in
triple ahs, like you know, John, what about turning heel?
Like they didn't already have this planned out. This has
been the case all year long. It's like they're just
sort of I don't know, It's like they're just thinking
of things as they go. How do you book a
retirement run for the guy that you referred to as

(01:32:58):
the goat of your company? How do you book a
retirement run like that? I don't understand it. Now, you're
changing match finishes the morning of. People are like, well,
makes sense. You gotta let the story play out because
Brock's going to destroy him and then Sena is gonna

(01:33:19):
come back and get the rematch and he's gonna be
well evidently not where all those people now blows my mind.
This is not some random jabron here. I mean, it's
fucking John Cena. I think the problem is that John Cena,
frankly is not his hands on as he should be,

(01:33:42):
given how big of a star he is. You know,
we talk about, or we hear about, like how hands
off he is, and he does what he's told, and
he's just you know, he's so easy to work with,
and he's got no ego that he brings to the table.
Maybe that's the problem. Maybe he needed to bring a
little bit of ego into this. But I don't don't
think he cares. I think he's got one foot out
the door. You know, he's a Hollywood guy now and

(01:34:04):
his body is breaking down. He just can't do it anymore.
That's why he announces retirement. He goes, I would love
to do this until I die, but my body I
can't do it anymore. You know. I think he had
his fun and he's just grateful to be able to
go out there and do whatever they ask him to do.
And when he's done. I believe him when he says
he's done. That's it. He's not putting the jords on
the T shirt. The hat. Undertaker said the same thing.

(01:34:28):
You're never going to see me walk down to the
ring and the fucking black jacket and everything. So when
we see him now, he's riding a motorcycle to the
ring because unless he's wrestling, he will not be the
Undertaker anymore. So I believe John Cena when he says
that we're not going to see him doing this stuff anymore,
because I think he's done. He wants this to be done,
and he doesn't care the fans care more than he

(01:34:51):
does about his own retirement. Run. That's the problem because
They've been invested in this guy for twenty five years
or twenty three years, whatever it's been. I think they
care more about this than he does. They take it
more seriously than he does. Se says, Eo versus Kyrie

(01:35:18):
six in the future, Eo versus Kyrie. I'm trying to
remember the first five. Give me it all, Man, give
me EO, and Oscar give me EO, and Kyrie give
it all to me. Dry Chicken says the Judgment Day

(01:35:42):
and the Vision need dirt and germs, so they get
sick and then they have to miss raw. I see
what you're doing there, death Side. We should have crash
Bandicoot as the head of creative maybe the Lemu from

(01:36:03):
the what is it Liberty Mutual Commercials death Sithe as
a big bomb here. Actually, let me reload. We've gotten
some new ones. Let me reload the list here, so
that way we got them all here. Here we go.

(01:36:24):
There he is there, he is death Sithe. I hope
Drew McIntyre is seen as opponent for Crown Jewel. Drew
can do the build alone by insulting him, diving into
his past like Angle did with hbk Uh. He could
go to hard knocks Jim and OVW for a vlog

(01:36:46):
seen as Dad and Bull Buchanan came fucking Bold Buchanan. Man,
now you're going old school fucking B squared, Like put
the backwards hat on? Were B squared? Oh my god,
fucking Bold Buchanon. Yeah, Robert says that you guys destroyed it.

(01:37:08):
That's right, we are. We are doing a double, a double.
Be the booker yet to come here, keep him coming.
Interesting that Drew McIntyre is on the poster for Crown Jewel,
so he's going to be on the show. Could very
well be a match with John Cena. It's just too bad.
Scene is not going to be around the promoted. It

(01:37:30):
would just be the match. But I would I would
take that, just like I would take John cenan AJ styles.
That's why I was so disgusted by the idea that
like they had Brocks squash him. So so what we
could run this back another one or two times. No
one is asking for that. Give me the match with AJ,

(01:37:53):
give me the match with Drew, Give me the match
with somebody else that I'm not thinking of here. I
don't need to see more. Cina Lesnar jdf VA says, goodness,
I've got a lot of catching up with your content.
I've been so busy lately. Now is a good time.

(01:38:15):
Is always a good time to get caught up with
the content. You got plenty of it, JDF. We got
boots with the ten. Even though I tend to rag
on Renee Piquette for being an enabler for Max's actions,
I'll give credit when it's due. She was upbeat and
professional at the all out scrum, even though Max got barbecued. Yeah,
but she's used to it by now. That's like every show.

(01:38:39):
She just at this point, it's like to be expected
that her husband is gonna have his flesh torn and
there's gonna be just gallons of blood spilled. It's just
another pay per view. It's just another night. We've got
John Laurinidis is with us again. Twin, don't be twin

(01:39:02):
in me. Yeah, you're my evil twin. You're not welcome here,
abystle Zones. When does l A. Knight's losing striak become burial?
That's why I asked the question earlier. At what point,

(01:39:25):
at what point does he start to lose the fans
because the fans realize that he's just a fucking loser.
They realize that they are rooting for a loser, and
not even like a lovable loser. You know, the guy
has a chip on his shoulder, he's got an ego.

(01:39:45):
That's even worse. If you're a lovable loser, it's a
lot easier to get sympathy and get the fans behind you.
But when you go out there and you talk shit right,
you pump your chest out, you think you're better than everybody,
and you still lose. My god, that's so much worse.
Duff's VIDs with the four ninety nine what kind of
pants do ghosts wear? A paranormal pants, says Mommy Smurf? Yeah,

(01:40:11):
I mean, how is it that Rhea looked like a
smurf and she still looked as hot as she did
when she wasn't a Smurf? I don't know. Very impressive.
NJC with a nine ninety nine did lap and Hunter's Cheerios.

(01:40:32):
His booking is like no one else I can think of.
This is a burial justice for La Knight. Duff's VIDs.
What's the difference between a well dressed man on a

(01:40:52):
bicycle and a poor dressed man on a tricycle attire,
and he is. He's dipping into some new ones tonight.
I see and they're hitting. I love it. Boomerang says,
a lovable loser like the mets Am, I right, Solough,
there's nothing lovable about them. They're just losers, So you're wrong.

(01:41:19):
Alexander la Knight needs the ghost of Chris Candido to
rejuvenate his career. Barry Horowitz would be proud. A lot
of people think la Knight's buried. I don't know. He's
still involved in one of the top programs on the show.
I wouldn't quite shovel the dirt on top of his corpse. Yet.

(01:41:41):
We're getting there pretty quick, though. I just don't think
we're there just yet. Depth side, the men's war games
should be brock Lesnar, Drew MacIntyre and the Bronze against
John c l a Night, Cody Roads, and Roman Reigns.

(01:42:02):
If it's five on five, you can have Jacob Fatu
on the baby face side and Randy Orton on the
heel side. I noticed that you don't have Seth Rollins here,
which is very strange. I don't know why you wouldn't
have him in there when Seth has I mean, are
you pitching another seth Rollins. See on Punk match, you

(01:42:25):
gotta have Rollin. You're not gonna have part of the
Vision in the match. You're gonna have the Vision or
you're not gonna have the Vision. And the Vision doesn't
even have four guys, let alone five. So you gotta
have Rolins and Breaker and Read, and then if you
want to have Brock, you know, Hayman can kind of
bring Brock into it, and then maybe Drew. I could

(01:42:46):
see that. And then on the other side, you've got Sena,
You've got Punk, You've got Roman. Cody does not need
to be in War Games. Actually take Drew there, because
you could do Cody. You can run back Cody and
Drew at Survivor series. You could run back Cody and
Drew at Survivor series and actually have Drew win the

(01:43:08):
title and rope Randy Orton into that. Easy enough. None
of those guys need to be part of War Games.
Death side coming in with another super chat. Actually he's

(01:43:29):
got a pair of them. Here. Let me see here. Uh,
let me see here, I says, and Punk's out there.
We go. I should see I should have read your
second super chat before I answered the first one, he said,
and punk Seth for the world title should end at
Survivor Series, where it is technically where it began in
twenty twenty three. Make it come full circle. Not everything

(01:43:52):
has to end to WrestleMania. It doesn't, but it probably will.
I just don't see it ending there. If they wanted
to app absolutely just end it there. I'm okay with that,
But I don't think they want to end it there.
I just don't. Frankly, if you're going to do a
title change on that show, Drew could use it a

(01:44:12):
lot more than Punk. I'd rather see Drew beat Cody
than see Punk beat Seth on that show. Huffman Entertainment
with the show in Australia, Why is it being called
Crown Jewel when it's not in Saudi. Well, it's very
simple because they want to continue the Crown Jewel gimmick

(01:44:33):
because they probably well I don't know if they paid
Saudi's probably paid for those nice, gaudy big belts that
they have. If they want that to be an annual thing,
they couldn't do Saudi in November or in October because
they're going to run the Royal Rumble there in January,
So there's gonna be no Saudi show at the end

(01:44:53):
of the year this year. So for this year only,
I'm guessing they decided to move it to Perth. Here's
your answer, that's sithe. Also, I hope we get a
program or at least a match between CM Punk and

(01:45:14):
AJ Styles. For example, Punk could win the Royal Rumble
and AJ goads him into putting his title shot on
the line, and in exchange, he will put his career
on the line at Elimination Chamber. I don't like the
setup to that. I'm fine with doing Punk against AJ.
At some point we actually did get it, I think

(01:45:35):
in a gauntlet match. Was it a gauntlet match or
a singles match? I know we got it. We got
it this year I think I just I don't like
the setup there, so give me the match, but we
got to get to it a different way. I'm not
a fan of that Duff's viz. What did one Dorrito

(01:45:57):
Farmer say to the other Dorrito farmer? Cool Ranch Alexander
Chelsea Green dropping the US title was a mistake. I
think creating the US title was a mistake. Jeremy Rose

(01:46:19):
Jay's heel turn will be complete when he pushes kids
out of his way. Oh my god, he comes through
the stads. Can you imagine, like he's coming through the
stands and all the little kids are getting a little
gathered around Jay because they think, you know, they're gonna
go yeat with him, and then he just pushes them
down down the fucking stairs. Oh man, you know what
they should do. They should get an actor. They should

(01:46:44):
get a you know, a vertically challenged actor who could
pass like one that looks very young, who could pass
as like a younger school age like elementary school age child,
junior high school child, and do that. Someone who's trained

(01:47:05):
in doing stunt work, who can be pushed down like
a flight of stairs and just have j like shove
him down the stairs and just like like the look
of horror on all the other kids faces and the fan.
I know, I'm sick, but like that would be fucking hilarious.
You want to turn him heel one day? Oh my god,
a stunt kid. Yeah, but it doesn't have to be

(01:47:26):
a kid though, but yeah, like a stunt kid, like
they have stunt grannies back in the day old school wrestling.
We man, sure, but everybody knows we man is not
a child though it doesn't work with we man j
pushes Microman down the stairs. Oh man, that would be amazing.

(01:47:55):
What a heel turn that would be. Mac Tubb Triple
H was never the top babyface and has finally tried
to be that since taking over Creative. He's screaming and
kicking not to come out, said Cody of WrestleMania of forty. Yeah.

(01:48:19):
You know. Now he's got the chance to plaster himself
all over the place, and he's doing that. He's everywhere,
he is everywhere. He is taking full advantage of the
position that he is now in. Brandon says, I would
rather see sol An monster versus Sena over another Sena

(01:48:41):
versus Lesnar. I don't know, man, I don't know. If
Sena could keep up with me, I'd have to slow
myself down to make him look good. How many attitude
adjustment should I kick out of? Jeremy Row is nice
to see Pierce made matches for Raw next week? It

(01:49:02):
is nice, isn't it a week in advance too? A
general manager who doesn't wait until the day of to
make all of the matches on the show. I mean,
although he did make the main event that way tonight,
hog Dog, I'm not no Ah, what what is the

(01:49:25):
Is this a cry for help? I'm not no Cocoa
melon unk watched Solo Monster Facts? All right? Thank you?
Hog Dog? Have you been drinking? Alexander Viquier may one
day be more over than Rhea. Could happen? Could happen?

(01:49:49):
Ria is pretty popular, but you know, popularity fades over time.
Anything's possible. Duff's viz. I've been reading this book about
anti Gravity. It's so good I can't put it down.
That is Duff's VIDs. Ladies and Gentlemen. Mactub. Why do

(01:50:12):
you think AJ has mostly disappointed after his first few
years in WWE, especially in big matches, going back to
WrestleMania thirty four, Who was more at fault booking or him?
I think it's a combination of both. I think his
age plays a role in it. You know, he's not
the AJ styles that he was in TNA. You know,

(01:50:32):
he's not the AJ styles that he was in New Japan.
He worked a style He's similar to Will Osprey in
that way. Osprey did stuff that's even crazier than what
AJ did, but it was a similar style in that
in the earlier part of AJ's career, he was a
high flyer and he was doing a lot of that stuff,

(01:50:53):
and at some point you have to slow down, you
have to adapt, and he did a very good job
of that. But then age continues to play a role
and there's certain things that you can't do anymore even then,
and you have to adapt your style. And so the
Aj Styles we see now, I do think that there
are people who still look at him and they sort
of judge him and grade him through the eyes of

(01:51:13):
Aj Styles of ten or twelve years ago, which is unfair.
So part of it is, part of it's on the performer,
and part of it's on the booking as well, you know.
I mean there's stuff they've done with him over the
years that just wasn't very good. You know, he tried
to make the most of being an a tag team
with Omas, But why was Aj Styles in a tag

(01:51:34):
team with Omas? Is that their way of trying to
help Omas at AJ's expense. You know, you could have
had Aj Styles helping Omas in other ways, not just
by making them a tag team. I mean that's just
one idea, but I mean it goes both ways. I Mean,

(01:51:57):
he's still one of the best. Broli says Raw Tonight
was better than wreussell Palooza. It's a low bar. Paul
Carpenter Los Angela's Night. I said, we know what the
L now stands for in La Night. We didn't know before.

(01:52:20):
Now we know Duff's VIDs. Why did the cell phone
get glasses? She lost her contacts? Paul says, Lose All
Night is better. Just call him Loser Night. Be his name,

(01:52:43):
Loser Night. Abysto Zones. This year's Crown Jewel will basically
mark one year since La Night won a match on
a PL. Is that true? That can't be true. That
can't be true. His last ple win was Crown Jewel

(01:53:05):
twenty twenty four. Was that the match against Andrade and
Carmelo Hayes? Holy shit, he's not won a ple match
since then. Hmmm, Yeah, he beat Seth, But that that
was a Saturday Night's main event. That wasn't a PL.

(01:53:29):
Diego Vasquez hook that Jay drama into my veins, I'm
telling you. Is it cheesy? Sure, but it is the
best story going right now. On Raw Retro, says Chile
was the first place I ever went abroad too, on
my own It'll always hold a special place in my heart.

(01:53:50):
Happy to see Stephanie Vecuierre find success. Yeah, so am.
I You could tell, like when she won the championship
and her father being there the other night, what that
meant to her. That's why I was easily the best
thing on that show. Libido Bell with the twenty two
September twenty third, it's my birthday. It's a bit hard

(01:54:11):
celebrating because my late brother was born. On the twenty second.
It said my class had an alumni weekend and they
invited everybody but me. Really, why would they invite everybody
but you? What the fuck? Why would they do that?

(01:54:35):
That's terrible, says I made a song to get it
off my chest called super Shredder. Well, super Shredder is awesome. Well, look,
I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know why they
would have invited everybody but you. But guess what, fuck
those guys, because guess what, we got a bigger group
here than their group. You got almost twelve hundred people

(01:54:57):
right now alone. I'll bet they don't and have that
many people, So fuck those guys. Happy birthday, Libido Bell.
Mystic j forty four with TKO Raising ticket prices. Soon
the plees will look like the last match on No

(01:55:19):
Holds Barred, with everyone in the arena wearing tuxedos and gowns.
It'll be like, yeah, it'll be like one of those
dinners where you got to pay like fifteen thousand dollars
a plate. The new one, says Solo with a nine
ninety nine thank you. Brother says Solo, sorry if someone

(01:55:42):
has already asked you this. But who don't you think
aj Lee will face next? I think she'll get involved
with Bailey? Or will she continue with Becky? We reboot
this list here, get some of the new ones on here.
Who do I think she won't work with? Is that

(01:56:03):
the question? Because I can tell you who all the
people who I think she'll work with. I think we'll
see her work with Bailey. I think we'll see her
work with Live In Roxanne and Becky some more. I
don't think that we're gonna see her working with I don't.
I don't know. It's kind of a weird question. I

(01:56:25):
don't see her working with like Jade or uh Naya.
I mean they're on the other show anyway right now,
not that that matters. I don't know. It's easier for
me to tell you who I think she is going
to work with. Nicky Yeah, Nicki Bell. I mean Nikki
Bell is an obvious one since they've worked together before.

(01:56:54):
Barry MK four hundred, I got a hard question for you.
Who do you want more? Stephanie Viquier or Priscilla Kelly?
Who do I want more? To book? You mean like
to book on like House of Glory shows. We'd love
to have Stephanie. We've had Priscilla, She's great, and sure,

(01:57:16):
we'd love to have Stephanie. That's how I'm gonna answer
that question, Paul Carpenter. If ruthless aggression is old school,
then what the hell is the attitude era? For us?
Better yet? New generation? Better yet that golden era? It
makes us old farts, Paul, it's the old farts club,

(01:57:38):
makes you ancient. Death Side Why does none of Sonic's
relationships last long? Because they can't keep up with him?
That's why Knuckles get so frustrated. Also Death Side, Buy

(01:58:03):
Sell Rent, on which heel turn had the worst follow up,
Dean Ambrose turning on Seth Rollins on Raw in twenty eighteen,
The New Day turning on Big Ee in twenty twenty
four or John Sena turning on Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber. Well,
John Cener, I mean, in terms of the biggest stories

(01:58:24):
here from this list that you've given me here, the
answer is John Sena at the Elimination Chamber, and then
I would go big E and then I would go
the Shield in that order, and Death Side says that
we're sending your family all our love from Utah. Thanks
for the update. Well, thank you, thank you brother. All

(01:58:50):
the way from Utah. It's very far away from New York,
so I appreciate that. The new one says, I meant
to say, who you think she will work Well, I
was gonna say that was a weird question. Who do
you think she won't work with? Well, I hope I
answered your question. I just gave you. I spent a
whole bunch of names out at you. But you can

(01:59:10):
put Nicky Bella on that list as well. I'm sure
they'll be working together, even Lyra, you know AJ and Lyra.
At some point we're gonna see all those matches. She
signed a full time deal. Arnold says Sena turn ended

(01:59:34):
up ruining a WrestleMania. Yeah. Kind of did didn't it
and give you the super chance killed that second goal.

(01:59:55):
So we got some be the booker coming up. Let
me see here the a few of the member chats.
Since they don't appear on that new list, I have
to check them separately. Want to shout out Michael Cuomo
for thirty three months of membership, he says, love the thumbnail,

(02:00:17):
I'm glad you enjoyed it. And Grant Hudson twenty months
of membership, Cody Drew, Stephanie, Tiffany, Ria Eo versus the
Kabuki Warriors, maybe Aj and Sena. The Australia show on
paper already could be better than Wressell Palooza. I'm sure
that it will be better than Wressell Palooza. The only

(02:00:37):
thing I need to figure out is one I'm gonna
be going live to review it, because if it's an
Australia show, it's probably airing at like five o'clock in
the morning Eastern time, and I'm not watching it live.
So we'll have to figure out what time makes sense
that they probably like, I don't know, mid afternoon, early
to mid afternoon, go live on YouTube maybe and talk

(02:00:58):
about it. We got time to think about it, though,
that show is not until what what is that October eleventh?
I think we got a big House of Glory show
on October tenth here in New York. We got the
Hearty's coming in Killer Cross, got some big matches on
that show. That's gonna be a long night. And then
we have an Australia pla at five am. Fuck me, yeah,

(02:01:24):
that'll be a good week. Though that's my birthday week anyway.
Michael Grant, Joseph Paul Oz, glorious, everybody who showed some
love so far tonight, Thank you very much. Let's get
into it here, because we got two rounds to get to.
It is time to be the booker, Ladies and gentlemen,

(02:01:47):
it is now time to be the booker, says eight am,
not five am. So is it starting later in Australia,
because I'm almost positive the last time they did the
Elimination Chamber in Perth it was a five or six
am start here on the East Coast. So are they

(02:02:08):
doing a later show? Is that what you're telling me? Well,
if it starts at eight am, I probably still am
not watching a lot. I don't know watching wrestling at
eight o'clock in the morning just doesn't sound right. But hey,
you know, there's a lot of people who will wake

(02:02:29):
up who live here, who will wake up at three
o'clock in the morning to watch Wrestle Kingdom. God bless them.
I'm not doing that would ruin my whole day. To
be fair, It's harder for me because I'm always streaming.
I'm streaming almost every night of the week. How the
hell am I going to stream and then not sleep

(02:02:51):
and then watch another five and a half hours of wrestling?
Throw myself in front of a bus before I do that?
All right? Tag Team the Booker, All right, there it is.
We got the Dork Order, We have Stu Grayson, and
we have Evil Uno. Whatever happened to them at the

(02:03:16):
Dark Order against Sean Michaels and Triple H. Why are
they holding the SmackDown tag titles and the Raw tag titles?
What am I not remembering here? Did they hold both
sets of tag team belts at one point? Well, we

(02:03:40):
got DX against the Dark Order. They were the Unifi Okay,
they were the Unified Tag Team Champions. They beat Jeri
Show in two thousand and nine. I do remember that?

(02:04:04):
Was that the match where Jericho the Big Show had
Jericho who was holding him. He was up standing on
his shoulders. I vaguely remember that spot. I don't know
if that was the match where they did it. Women's
be the booker, Oh it is. It's the brand new
ae W Women's World Champion, Chris Statlander, Big Statlander fan,

(02:04:31):
she is indeed the new aw Women's World Champion. You'd
better see her on TV tomorrow night or Wednesday night.
I guess we won't be seeing her on TV tomorrow night.
Tomorrow's Tuesday Chris Statlander against thunder Rosa, a former AEW
Women's World Champion herself. That could be a collision match.

(02:04:54):
Perhaps at some point we booked it first. Here the
booker and our first main event. We have two of them.
This is our first one. Big G says, it's five
am Pacific time for Crown Jewel. Okay, so then it

(02:05:17):
is eight am Eastern time. Good to know. Huh oh.
The tribal chief says, pick a damn stipulation. Tribal chief
can't show up on raw, but he could show up
and be the booker. Now we have to pick a step.

(02:05:40):
I thought we were doing stipulations in the next round.
I guess we're getting an early start here. All right,
we got to pick a stick for our main event.
It will be I for an eye, I for an
eye here. That's what we're working with here. Someone is
losing an eyeball in this match. Who was going to
lose their eye? Uh ohing surfers sting. Is surfer sting

(02:06:06):
going to lose his eye? That's the drama here of
the match. Surfers thing against Logan Paul. I think Logan
Paul is losing an eye here in this match. Looks
like he already did. That's why he's wearing sunglasses in

(02:06:29):
this picture. I'll tell you what though, young young surfers
thing against Logan Paul, just athletically speaking, I think that
would actually be a really good match. He says, now
that we need Voto's sting. Voto's thing would would murder
Logan Paul. This is not Voto's sting. This is a

(02:06:52):
surfer sting. So there it is Logan Paul's losing an eye.
That's our first main event. Now we do STIPs here
for all the matches. This is where things get very interesting.
It's like our version of extreme rules here. It would
love to see Sting take his eyes. But you people

(02:07:14):
are sick. You people are blood thirsty. Let me tell
you all right, we got a speaking of blood thirsty,
we got a Molotov cocktail match. Yes, this is a
real match in aew Fight forever. Does anybody still play
aw Fight forever? That's the more important question. How many

(02:07:34):
people are on the server still playing aw Fight forever?
This is gonna be a very dangerous match because it's
a Molotov cocktail tag team match, so this could get very,
very destructive, very quickly. Demolition. They put Stephanie McMahon in

(02:08:03):
the Hall of Fame before they put Demolition in. Fuck
these people, Demolition in a Molotov cocktail match? What are
you doing to my boys here? Demolition against Paul London
and Brian Kendrick in a Molotov cocktail match. I mean

(02:08:29):
just saying that out loud. I have to see what
this match looks like. I must know what that match
would look like. I would, yeah, I would probably get
involved to make sure I'd be the one throwing the
Molotov cocktail at London and Kendrick. I gotta save Demolition.

(02:08:54):
We have a ladder match. We have a ladder match.
With the ladies, because that's what we're going to nowt
a women's ladder match for the Women's World Championship with Ivory.
Remember Ivory. Ivory never held gold in w W A Ivory. Well,

(02:09:21):
we already know who's winning the championship in this match here,
Ivory and Charlotte Flair. So Charlotte is going to win
her what fourteenth fifteenth championship here in this ladder match.
It's it's basically just preordained already. We already know how
this is going to go. Did she win? Oh, she

(02:09:46):
did win the women's title. Wait, that's right, that's right.
China beat her for it. I forgot. I completely forgot
that she won the championship. That's right. She was in
right to say answer when she won the title. I

(02:10:06):
stand corrected. Our main event is gonna be a hardcore match. Okay,
I feel like every week is a hardcore match, but
I guess we're getting a hardcore match. Somebody's gonna bleed.

(02:10:28):
Does that mean John Moxley is gonna have to be
in this match? Oh, somebody's bleeding. Somebody's bleeding, all right.
Look at this guy. Now, this guy looks like he's
been in a hardcore match. This guy looks like he's
been in a horror movie. At least the stipulation fits

(02:10:53):
Eddie Kingston, who looks like an absolute zombie here in
this image. Eddie Kingston is going to be in this
hardcore match, a very appropriate stipulation. Indeed, oh Man against

(02:11:15):
Bruno sem Martine. You know what, I'm gonna give it
the bell because I think that Bruno and Eddie. I know,
you know, back then you didn't get too many promos
out of Bruno, but I feel like the promos leading
up to it Bruno and Eddie. I mean, Bruno was

(02:11:37):
kind of the king of New York. Eddie is from
New York. Bruno and I know, I'm intrigued by this,
Like Bruno in a hardcore match, picking up those chairs
and throwing them around. They can make it work. Let's
get to these final super chats here we have where

(02:11:59):
do we leave off? Here we go? Oz Glorious says
a death Sythe isn't in Utah? That was me? Yeah?
I did I say it was him? I no, No,
I know it was you. Did I say they? Maybe
he's in you don't know that, Maybe he's in Utah.
Also maybe you guys can go hang out now I
knew you were referring to you. Death Sythe says, could

(02:12:23):
aj Lee have a possible match with Lida? Because Lida
is open to having one more match? Yeah, but I'm
sure she would love to have that match. But I mean,
I don't really see the need for it. So I'm
gonna say, I'm gonna say we don't get it. And
death Site says, I didn't know I moved to Utah.
How did that? I guess I must have said that. Okay,

(02:12:45):
I didn't know I moved to Utah. How did that happen?
All right? Well, I guess death Syth does not does not. Well,
I mean maybe maybe there is somebody by that name
who lives there. You don't know that. But thank you
death scythe thank you Oz and everybody else. Fun times here,
good questions, two rounds to be the booker is always

(02:13:08):
a sign of a good night. I'd love to see it.
Keep that energy up here going forward. I know that
that's been a bit of a struggle when it comes
to aew, but we're gonna try again on Wednesday because
we have the post all out edition of aw Dynamite
I'll be right here talking about it. We do have

(02:13:28):
a brand new women's World champion and Chris Statlander who
hopefully will be on the show. And don't forget Tony
Kahn is hyping another important announcement. He hasn't had one
of those in a while. I think it's women's tag
team titles. That's my guess. That's what I think it is.
But whatever it is, I'll be here to talk about

(02:13:49):
it because he's making a big announcement. And also a
programming note, Tuesday Night Titans is airing on Thursday this week.
Normally we do it on Tuesdays obviously, but I have
some family business to attend to tomorrow and so we
are bumping it to Thursday because the initials still work perfectly.

(02:14:09):
Who do we got? We got a Hollywood guy. Do
you see ESPN getting buyer's remorse? Because if WWE doesn't
do well, I expect a full refund, You expect a
full refund or ESPN because they ain't given you a refund.
If they're gonna have buyer's remorse, that's a couple of

(02:14:30):
years from now. Like they're not gonna have buyer's remorse
because of one bad show, so no. I think actually
they're very happy with a relationship. It just started and
they're going to be They're gonna be very happy with
it for the time being. If they were to have
buyers remorse, that's not going to be for a while.

(02:14:50):
Matt Fisher says, oh yeah, with a bremo, Thank you, Matt,
And also he says, beer Mode Rebella coming back with
beer Mode. I'm telling you, man, if she was a
Whino and she came stumbling out onto the stage with
a wine bottle in her hand from what do they

(02:15:13):
call it, oh God, in the California, the vineyards of
California or whatever they have out there, I think that
gimmick would get over. They're going to bring her back.
It's the only way to do it. Beer Mode raw
redeems themselves. Hopefully Friday delivers, should it be by of course,

(02:15:39):
it has to be led by Santana. If you're going
to have an NXT, you know, an invasion of TNA
on NXT, Mike Santana has to be leading the charge.
The one who's angry is him that Trick Williams would
just take the TNA championship and put it up in
a match on short notice like that against Obafemi. They're
having a title versus title match tomorrow night. Mike Santana

(02:16:02):
should be there, Masha Slamovitch should be there. Joe Hendry's
already there every week, he's coming out of refrigerators. He
doesn't count. But Mike Santana should be leading the charge
and then he's gonna win the championship at bownfor glory.
Barry says, why do you think WWE hardly ever advertises

(02:16:24):
their YouTube? They posted every NXT show from twenty fourteen
to twenty seventeen, but it has little views on the
main channel. They have an NXT Vault channels that which
you're referring to. They don't do any advertising for the
Vault stuff, and I don't know why. I don't know why,
but it's not like they were advertising the vintage content

(02:16:47):
on Peacock either, And then they wonder why it doesn't
do well. They never bother to advertise it, they didn't
give people, It didn't entice people enough to go check
it out. I mean, how hard would it be on
these shows? Every week? They have so many hours hours
of television, you know, coming out of a commercial break
to just have a little sixty second video highlighting something

(02:17:08):
that happened in WWE history on that date or in
WCW history or NXT history on that date. And hey,
you want to see more content like this, you want
to see full shows, here's where you go. They don't
even mention it, they don't care. Thank you for all

(02:17:28):
of the support. This was awesome. Let's do it again
on Wednesday night. Even if you don't watch Dynamite, come
hang out with me anyway. Be well, stay safe. I'm
going to transition my way right out of here and
I will see you back here for the Dynamite post
show on Wednesday night. Until then, take care, guys,
