MACHO MONSTER reviews the Halloween edition of WWE Smackdown on the eve of SNME, a snoozefest of an episode outside of another excellent US Title Open Challenge match with Ilja Dragunov.  Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre did add some intriguing stipulations to their championshiop match that would make you think Drew is winning the title, but... not so fast.  Plus, we got a match with two college football mascots that included an amazing reference to BEARCAT LEE.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, what are we doing tonight? Huh? What are
we doing tonight? It is Halloween? Uh huh. Yes, indeed,
if you think I'm doing this voice by the way,
for the entire stream, you are out of your mind. Okay,
that is not going to happen. I made that mistake
once many years ago. I will not do that again.
But here we are. It is the Halloween edition of

(00:23):
the SmackDown Review. Yes, if we're gonna do Halloween, we
gotta do it the right way. And let me tell
you something, the macho monsters here, the macho monster is
probably gonna be more entertaining than this shit show was tonight. Okay,
I'm actually kind of pissed off that I even have
to talk about this show. What a waste of a

(00:43):
fucking show. You know, I am old enough to remember,
Uh huh. I'm old enough to remember back in the
day when they would have these Halloween shows and you
would have wrestlers dressed up in costume in the back.
They would have like a costume party. It's what saved
John seen his career. Him being dressed up as a

(01:04):
rapper is what saved his career all those many years ago.
And they would go backstage throughout the night. You'd have
these different backstage segments. Where's the fun? Where's the fun?
Why are we having more fun here than they had
on the television show tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Take these off? Uh huh, so I can see what
I'm doing here. Yeah, put these over here. You know,
I came prepared tonight. You gotta have beef and you
gotta have spice.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
If you're gonna do the Macho Monster, you gotta have
a slim gin Yeah, we're gonna have to you. We
were gonna put these down over here anyway. Uh yeah.
Usually with these Halloween shows in years past, they would
have some fun with it. Unfortunately, there is no fun
to be had with this episode of SmackDown tonight because
this episode is the SmackDown was very boring. It was

(02:02):
a very boring episode of SmackDown. Outside of what else.
I'll give you one guess what the best part of
the show was tonight, of course, the US Title Open Challenge.
Thank god they continued with this gimmick after sammy' z
ain lost a championship. We have Elia Dragonough to save
us each week, and tonight was no different. He had
a great match with Nathan Frasier. Outside of that one match,

(02:26):
there was not a single thing I can point to
on this show that I would sit here and tell
you was worth your time to go back and watch
if you did not already see it. In fact, the
only two things I will mention here before we even
get into the review in the main events segment, we
had a contract signing for it tomorrow night because tomorrow night,
Saturday Night's main event, we have a WWE Championship match

(02:49):
between Cody Rhodes uh huh Andrew McIntyre. And so what
they did tonight was they added a couple of stipulations
to the match. They made things a little more interesting
because now, all of a sudden, if Cody Rhoades gets
himself disqualified, or if Cody Rhodes gets himself counted out,
he can lose the championship, which at least makes it

(03:10):
that much more plausible that maybe Drew McIntyre might win
the title. But for the fact that Drew McIntyre was
the man standing tall at the end of the episode tonight,
and that coupled with the fact that I would bet
the house that we are going to have a brand
new WWE Women's Champion it still paints what I believe

(03:32):
is a very bleak picture of whether or not Drew
McIntyre is actually gonna leave Salt Lake City as the
World champion tomorrow night. As in, I don't think it's happening,
even though by adding these stipulations they made it that
much more likely. You would think that maybe Randy Orton
gets involved in the match, because now Cody can lose
the title on a disqualification. The stipulation is built right in,

(03:55):
but it still doesn't feel to me like that's what
we're gonna get now. The other thing was the US
Title Open Challenge, So making the main event, maybe maybe
it's not the main event tomorrow, but making the championship
match tomorrow a little bit more likely that maybe Drew
might walk away with the title. I like that. I
like them adding those stipulations and the Ilia Dragonov match,

(04:17):
and beyond that, what do we have? We had the MFTs,
We're on the show, and again each passing week it
looks more and more likely that the MFTs are going
to find themselves in the Wargames match at Survivor Series. Yes,
the Juggalos are going to be in the Wargames match
at Survivor series. Sure looks that way to me. The

(04:37):
rest of this show you'll see when we get into it.
We're going to cover the entire thing here. I don't
know why, but whatever. It's Halloween, so we'll celebrate Halloween
and have a good time. This is your SmackDown Halloween Review.
It is October thirty first, twenty twenty five. I am
the Muchall Monster. Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
A couple of coffee in the big time. I wish
I had some guy, I don't even dre coffee. If
I had some coffee right now, I would drink it.
But I got this. I'll let you guess what's in here.
Had to be something real strong to get me to
put this costume back on, like and subscribe. Super chats
are open. I've already had a bunch of them come in,

(05:20):
and hopefully we'll have more and I will read them
and we'll hang out and we'll have some fun as
we go along here in the stream. So let's get
into this show here, because we saw, yeah, we had
the usual open to this show where they show all
the wrestlers arriving at the building. We saw Cody Rhoades
and we saw Dr McIntyre. We saw Naya Jackson Alexa
Bliss who had a match tonight and not a very

(05:41):
good one, which we will talk about, and they showed
Jade Cargill, and Jade Cargill was walking backstage. She was
wearing a Punisher themed costume, like a Punisher themed outfit,
which is going to be important when I tell you
what she came out in when the show actually started.
So they were showing footage of her attack on Tiffany

(06:03):
Stratton from last week's show. And then Tiffany Stratton walks
by the announced desk while they were on camera and
she had a microphone. Tiffany wants Jade Cargill to come
out to confront her. Nick All this emerges from the back.
He tells her, look, you're not cleared for any contact
outside of your match tomorrow night. So Jade walks out.

(06:24):
But now Jade is wearing a different outfit. Jade. Now,
oh my, Jade comes out here and she is dressed
up in a tight leather catwoman costume from Batman. I'll
tell Joseph, I'm sure he was very excited when Jade

(06:44):
walked out in that catwoman costume. So she went from
Punisher to Catwoman to Catwoman looked, by the way, a
very good look for her. She should keep that, actually
she could probably honestly, she could probably just wear that
too Saudi for the Royal Rumble at a few months.
That's probably the same outfit she's to be wearing there anyway.
So she tells Tiffany from the aisle that she didn't
want to fight because it didn't really serve her. All

(07:07):
she wanted was her title match on Saturday Night's main event.
So she said, this was the best part of the
entire sepie outside of what Jade was wearing. So the
second best part of this entire segment was she meant
to say that Tiffy time was up and that she
was going to be the new champion. For whatever reason,

(07:27):
she said that Taffy time is up. Now. I don't
have any taffy here myself, perhaps some of you gave
it away to the neighborhood kids for Halloween. I do have, though,
this wonderful slim gym right here. So yeah, it's taffy
time everybody tomorrow night on Saturday Night's main event. And
it's also time to crown a new world champion because

(07:48):
Jade car Gill will ascend to the throne that I'm
sure they intended to place upon her head from the
moment she debuted on TV. She will get her crowning
moment tomorrow night. That Tiffany left the ring, she went
to go after Jade and they were separated by officials.
This was not much of a segment, but it made
sense at least that Tiffany would be angry after what

(08:09):
happened last week. She would be very you know, shall
we say, she would be in a mood where she
wanted to get her hands promptly on Jade Cargill. So
I mean I like that at least she just walked
out there, no fancy entrance or anything, but nothing happened.
It was just to remind you that we have a
big championship match tomorrow night. That's it. She was also,

(08:33):
I should point out selling the injured knee. If you remember,
in the attack last week, there was a spot there
on the outside where Jade stomped on Tiffany's leg, stomped
on her knee. That's obviously going to play a role
in her losing in her match tomorrow night. You know,
I briefly flirted with the idea I had to go
get something at the grocery store earlier, and yeah, it's Halloween.

(08:57):
So I briefly debate walking to the supermarket dressed like this,
but I just said, you know what, probably for the
better that I don't. First of all, I would probably
trip over these fucking tassels. Look at this shit, Look
at this. This is ridiculous, like a trip or crack

(09:18):
my skull, open my god. I'll tell you what though,
if there was a Halloween costume contest somewhere, eh, the
winner right here. So anyway, we go backstage are Truth
handed out candy. He was dressed as Santa Claus. He
was handing candy out to the MotorCity machine Guns. They
tried to convince him that it's Halloween, it's not Christmas.

(09:38):
To no avail, Solo Socoa walks up and he recalled
the machine Guns defeating the MFTs a year ago. Has
it been a year? I guess it has been. They
beat them a year ago for the tag team titles.
Solo said that they were back in line for a
title shot. The Guns, though believe that they were next
in the line. Chris Saban suggested match later in the

(10:00):
show to settle it, and Solo said that was a
good idea, so we had an impromptu match made for
later in the night. The tassels may have gotten caught
in the grocery store door. Yeah, you would have heard.
That's some final destination shit right there. Can you imagine
I'm walking in and it would not be difficult one
of these tassels gets caught in the door, or if

(10:23):
it had like an escalator, I was going down the
escalator or something. It's probably a good idea. I didn't
go now in the arena. Finally we get to the
one redeeming part of this shit show. Tonight. Iliya Dragonov
was out to the ring for the next entry in
the United States Championship Open Challenge and we heard Phraxium's music.

(10:43):
So Nathan Fraser comes out to claim his shot, but
Tomaso Champa's music plays. He storms down to the ring
to show him up. He's gonna claim it for himself,
and there you go. I mean, I just talked about that.
I did a whole segment on the podcast this weekend, which,
by the way, I got more feedback to that segment
than I have in a long time. Positive feedback. People

(11:05):
wanting me to do that every week. I can't do.
I mean, I probably could find something to talk about
every week. As far as dumb wrestling tropes, I'm sure
we'll do more of that in the future. So it
was very well received. But I just talked about open
challengers as one of the wrestling tropes that just bugs
the shit out of me. Where when you have an
open challenge like this, rarely, if ever, right, maybe once

(11:26):
in NXT, I vaguely remember them doing something like this
for the North American title, But you should have a
line of people in the back state like at the
gorilla position, crawling over each other to be the first
person to come out to claim their shot when there's
a championship open challenge like this, but they wait patiently
in someone's music play, is there like a fucking little

(11:47):
board in the back and the first person to sign
their name is the one who gets the shot, like
come on, man. So here we go where Nathan Fraser
is coming out, but then he gets passed by by
Tomaso Champa. See it's not quite what I was talking about,
but that's kind of the idea. So he comes out
and Dragonov said, look, the open challenge was for everyone,

(12:08):
but to be fair, Fraser got there first and he
said there was no reward for jackasses, and so it
was Ilia Dragonov against Nathan Fraser for the United States Championship.
Fraser landed some knees, he sent Dragonov to the floor.
Then he dove through the ropes and he took out

(12:28):
the champion. Dragonov cut Fraser down hard with the chop.
Fraser then retreated to the apron. Dragonov used a kick
to knock him to the floor and into the announced desk,
and then on the floor, Dragonov delivered a German suplex
and that took us into a commercial break. So Dragonov
was lightly bleeding from the forehead. I didn't see how
it happened. It was incidental blood. You could tell it's

(12:50):
not a lot of blood when the referee doesn't bother
to put the gloves on. So there was a little
bit of blood. It was gone very quickly. Fraser escaped
the German suplex attempt and landed a springboard into reverse DDT.
This was smooth and he landed the move and then
he had a running shooting star press for a two count.
Dragonov took to the top rope nobody was home. The
champion missed another sent on from the top and Fraser

(13:12):
capitalized with a frog splash for a close near fall.
In our second commercial break here of this match, Fraser
landed a knee on Draggonov as he was perched in
the corner. He attempted a head scissors out of the corner. Dragonov,
he held on. He blocked two different attempts here, and
he was attempting a power bomb. He's got a power
bomb this man now from the top. Fraser, though, reversed.

(13:35):
They move into a head scissors takedown all the way
to the map. Fraser then dove on Dragonov on the
outside and drop kicked him into the steel steps. He
tossed the champion back into the ring. He went up
top and he landed a picture perfect phoenix splash for
a very close near fall. Fraser went back to climb

(13:55):
the ropes. Dragonov tried to meet him up there. He
got knocked down and Fraser can continued climbing, but he
got chopped down by Dragonov, who delivered a German suplex
off the ropes and Nathan Fraser took a horrifying fall
right on the back of his neck. That looked really bad.
This was very scary. Was appropriate for Halloween. This was

(14:16):
very scary. But he was okay, at least in the moment.
I mean, the adrenaline is flowing. I'm sure when it
wears off he might not be feeling too good. But
he got up and he took a hard power bomb
by Dragonov, and Dragonov quickly followed with the h bomb,
just smashed him right in the face, and he got
the pin to retain the title. So after the match

(14:39):
was over, Dragonov showed respect to Fraser, raised his hand.
Fraser left the ring and he was immediately ambushed from
behind by Tamaso Champa and then they took a bit
of an awkward cut to a brake. He just cut
to a brake. That was it. Nathan Fraser's chest looked
like raw meat when this match was so he had

(15:00):
the shit chopped out of him here. But it's not
that I'm not worried about his chest. I'm worried about
the guy's neck. Holy shit, That bump off the top
was the no Bueno, another banger in a long line
of them here in this series. Dragonoff picked up right
where Sammy's Ain left off, and he has looked fantastic
since coming back, and I have to give them credit.

(15:21):
This was the perfect spot for him to return in.
He has been a featured player, he's a champion, He's
on television consistently, and to me, honestly, that's the most
important thing, even more than holding a championship. You need
consistent television time that emphasizes your strength. So think about
what is being done here, right. He's getting consistent television

(15:42):
time every single week, and his core strength is his
in ring ability, it's his matches, and so these Open
challenges are perfect. He's not coming out here every week
cutting promos, he's not coming out here every week having
squash matches. He's coming out every week and getting twenty
minutes fifteen to twenty minutes of ringtime to showcase what

(16:02):
he can do. And he's getting the crowd into his matches.
I mean it really, it's the perfect formula for someone
like him. So as long as they keep this going,
he will continue to get himself that much more over
with each passing match. And I don't know how long
they're going to take this. I'm sure six months from
now we won't be getting ill you Dragon of Open challenges,

(16:23):
but for the time being. Honestly, this was the perfect
spot to bring him back to Now. There was a
brawl that broke out during the break in the back
with Phraxium and Diy Dragonoff got involved. He tried to
calm things down, and he turned around and he found
Toma Tonga holding his United States championship and he gave

(16:45):
Dragonov the h because that's all he says. He doesn't
know how to say anything else, and he walked off.
So I guess now we know. I mean, I don't
know if he'll be the next one, but we know
obviously who won of his upcoming challenges. If not, his
next challenger is going to be and hopefully he gets beat. Two,

(17:07):
we had Carmelo Hayes against Kit Wilson of Pretty Deadly.
Wilson landed a twisting DDT early on for a near fall.
Hayes replied with a cutter and a DDT. Wilson rolled
to the floor to regroup. Hayes, though, splashed him on
the floor. He tossed Wilson back inside, and all of

(17:29):
a sudden, the miz appears from behind at ringsack because
Carmelo Hayes just deposited Kit Wilson back into the ring.
He has his back turn, he's posing for the crowd,
and the Miz sneaks up behind him and he throws
him into the ring post and he ends up back
in the ring, and Wilson follows up with a top
rope elbow drop, not quite liked the muchumns, but an

(17:55):
elbow drop nonetheless for a close near fall, not really
a very believable near fall. They tried, They wanted you
to believe that maybe he would get the shock win,
but let's be honest, nobody really expected him to win
this match. So then Hayes recovered and he delivered a
first forty eight to kit Wilson to put this thing away.

(18:16):
After the match was over, Hayes was, he was celebrating,
he was kind of like looking around like what the hell,
Like he didn't know what just happened, Like he didn't
know who attacked him, like dude. So of course, the
Miz gets in the ring and once again sneaks up
behind him and he drops him with a skull crushing finale,
and so Mellow just looked like an idiot for looking around, like,

(18:37):
oh gie, I wonder, I wonder what just happened here? Yeah, Gee,
I wonder who's the guy that I've been beefing with since?
My god, how long has this been going on for?
How far back does this this partnership go between them?
Because Hayes won the Andre Battle Royal, right, that was
this year, and then he had the big the giant chain, right,

(18:58):
dre was that rest that had to be that WrestleMania
this year. So Mis and Mello have been together at
least since before WrestleMania this year. This shit is still
going on. But gee, I wonder who attacked me from behind?
I have no idea. I have no idea what happened?
Uh the match here, if anything went longer than it

(19:20):
should have, we didn't need even the three minutes that
we got for Carmelo Hayes and Kit Wilson and again
the Mellow and Miz feud as a feud, you know,
they've been They've been telling this story and building it
up for so long. It's fine. It's not gonna light
the world on fire. It is not the highlight of
a SmackDown or anything like that. It's fine. But honestly,

(19:44):
for Mellow, the faster he you know, takes care of
the Miz and ends this and moves on to whatever
it is that comes next. Better off, he'll be whatever
that is, whatever it is that comes next, as long
as they have something in mind for him when this
feud is over, because if they don't, I don't know
what the point of any of this was. The point
should have been to slowly build up Carmelo Hayes. If

(20:07):
you end the feud with the Mizz and he wins,
and then you have nothing for him and he's not
getting consistent television time, right like Nili, you drag it of.
Everything you've done is wasted. You've wasted his time, you've
wasted as the viewer, our time, and you've taken someone
in Carmelo Hayes who's super talented and could be one

(20:28):
of the people you build around here on this show.
I'm not saying he's, you know, the biggest up and
coming young star on the show, but he certainly has
the ability to be I think, a big player on
this show. Then you have to treat him that way.
So I sure hope that when this is over they
have something in mind for him. My fear is that
they're going to just match him up with one of

(20:49):
the MFTs. Hopefully they can do a little bit better
than that. Now, backstage, sammy' zain was in Nick Aldos's
office and he asked, even though he knows, he says,
not medically cleared. I know I'm not cleared, but I
want to have the MotorCity Machine Guns back tonight in
their match against the MFTs. He said, he just wants

(21:11):
to be out there. And now all This tells him, look,
you know it's only going to make things worse, so
I'm asking you sit this one out. Cody Road shows
up and he had a friendly exchange with Sammy. He
told him he was proud of what he did with
the US title. All This then asked Cody, very bluntly,
did you have anything to do with the attack on

(21:31):
Jacob fo To two weeks ago. It's a great question
talk about Final Jeopardy here, and Cody said no. He says,
I like Jacob and I'm sorry about what happened, and
all This said, well that's good enough for me. Not
for me, it's not. I don't buy it for a second.
I think there's more to it than meets the eye.

(21:54):
So then he was asked by all This, did you
read the contract for Saturday Night's main event, and he said, yeah,
everything looks on the up and up to me, but
you got to show it to Drew. Now Elsewhere in
the back, the pimp Monster, I don't know. I mean,
I'm taking your guy's word for it. Is this how

(22:15):
pimps dress here in twenty twenty five. I can't say
I have any experience with any of them. So if
maybe they do dress like this, I don't know. I
kind of want to go out now and see what
the reaction is walking around in this constant So elsewhere
in the back, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte were interviewed and
Bliss was asked about being attacked by the Kabuki Warriors

(22:36):
and speaking of which, asked about being attacked by the
Kabuki Warriors and said that she and Charlotte would be
ready for them. She was asked about Naya Jacks and
Alexis said that Naya has been bitter for her entire
career and that's why she has no friends. She would
teach Naya why she had outgrown her, and that led

(22:56):
into Naya Jax against the Alexa Bliss, We're going, we're celling
here like it's twenty eighteen all over again. Oh huh yeah,
take that to the bank. So Nya landed a splash
in the corner and taunted the crowd. Bliss replied with
some slaps. She got knocked down by a body block.

(23:16):
The action spilled to the floor, where Nya tossed Bliss
into the barricade before backing down from Charlotte. Jackx tossed
Alexa into the corner. She attempted a running splash, Bliss
moved out of the way. Charlotte helped Alexa get back
into the ring after being sent out to the floor
a few times, so Bliss started to come back with
a neck ringer using the ropes, and Bliss set up

(23:38):
for a DDT. She got shoved though into the corner
and Nya charged it in. She got her shoulder though
run into the post. When Alexa moved out of the way,
Bliss climbed to the top. Niya, though pulled her down
with a samo and dropped only for a near fall.
So the match spilled to the floor again. Nya shoved
Charlotte and told her stay out of it. Back in
the ring, Nya set up for the annihilator. Charlotte, They're

(24:01):
jumped up on the apron for the distraction, and that
allowed Alexa to kick Naya's legs out from under her,
and Naya takes a spilled backwards and then Alexa stacks
her up for the pin. This was a very boring match,
That's what this was. And it didn't help that Naya
had control for a large part of it. So it

(24:22):
was very boring and it just wasn't very good. And
these two have had a lot of matches in the past,
going back many years. This will not go down as
one of the best matches of their series, maybe the worst.
This is just everything about this match was off, and
the finish was flat, and the crowd was dead and
nobody cared. I mean, for the entrance is sure, but
once the match began, nobody gave a shit. I don't

(24:43):
blame them. We've seen these women do better. So this
was not their best outing. And now Charlotte is going
to get in the ring with Naya next week. We'll
see if they do better. The backstage solo Soka, Oh
my God, here we go again. Solo Socoa was walking
with his Juggalos when Ray Phoenix interrupted them, and Phoenix

(25:04):
said he didn't want a piece of Solo. He wanted it.
Hey don't want no piece of this. He wanted a
piece of Tlatonga, yeah, the giant. He wanted Talatonga because
Talatonga is the one who attacked him previously. So Solo said, well,
you could have the match next week. And then Phoenix

(25:24):
slapped Tala and left, and Solo prevented Talatanga from retaliating
so they could focus on the main event. And Talatonga
said nothing here. All he did was scream after he
got slapped. He was very angry, but he didn't say anything.
So what I'm gathering here from the MFTs, and I
think part of the reason they're so boring is that, evidently,
outside of Solo's Soka, none of them have the ability

(25:47):
to speak. They grunt, they scream, they shriek, they make noises.
I thought I saw J. C. Matteo speak actual words
many months ago, but it was so long ago. Oh
maybe I'm just hallucinating. I don't know. But Solo is
the only one who can seemingly communicated in the English
language here in this group, one guy screams, one guy

(26:10):
goes yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody else just stares like a
mute We don't hear from them at all. That's the MFTs.
We got a video with Damian Preece where he told
Alistair Black he didn't initially hate him, but he made
it personal for them both. Obviously, he didn't appreciate getting

(26:30):
a fireball to the face and he said that punishment
would come for him in the back. Nick all this
was still trying to talk Tiffany Stratton out of wrestling
tomorrow night, but she said, nope, I want the match.
I'll be fine, and they were interrupted by Julia and Keana. James, Ah, wait,

(26:51):
I stand corrected, Roderick, you are correct, he said. They
all said I love you solo except Tommy. He said
tom did not say that, so okay. So they have
expanded their vocabulary to say I love you solo, which,
by the way, is a great thing to say. I
think everybody should be saying that. But that's about the
only thing that I've ever heard the MFT say. They

(27:15):
need to work on that. So Nick Aldists and Tiffany
Stratton were interrupted by Julia and Keana James. Keana said
that judging by the shape that Tiffany is in Tiffy
time or Taffy time, is almost up, and Tiffany really
should have accepted their offer for backup. Tiffany threatened her,

(27:36):
so Julia butted in and said that after tomorrow, Tiffany
won't be talking at all, and Tiffany walked off, and
in walked Chelsea Green walked up to nick All. She
had Alba Fire with her and Julia was still there
and Keana was still there, and Chelsea demanded a chance
to defend her streak as the longest reigning Women's United

(27:56):
States champion of all time, all time. This is a storied,
revered championship here, with a lot of rich wrestling history
to it. It hasn't even been around for a full
year yet, but Chelsea said that in nine days, I
guess her streak will fall, and so she wants the
chance to try to win back her championship. And Juliet

(28:20):
agreed to the match, so nick All just made it
official for next week, and then Chelsea was all excited
and talking to Albert and then she screamed because standing
behind them was Nicky Cross, who had some blood on
her outfit. She had her mask on. Obviously, the rest
of the Wyat six we're not here, which think about it, it's
a little weird, don't you that. I mean, we know

(28:41):
why Bo Dallas is not here, that's understandable. But as
far as the rest of the Wyats six, it's Halloween.
How do you have a Halloween episode and you don't
have the Wyatt six on there? So I guess they
were just, you know, well, we'll get Nicky Cross on
the show. At least they'll have a representative. Okay, she
didn't speak either, she didn't do anything. They cut away

(29:02):
and that was the last we saw of her or
anybody else from the Wyat six. So they came back
from commercial and oh this was this was ha, this
was something else here. I forgot all about this. They
come back from commercial and they are plugging the college

(29:22):
football game tomorrow between the number seventeen Cincinnati Bearcats and
the number twenty four Utah utes. I had to like
go back and like, what did he say? You ever
see my cousin Vinnie? When it was Vinnie? It was Vinnie,
it was Joe Peshi When he's talking about youths and

(29:43):
he calls him the utes. I think the judge was like,
what did you say? Utes? A couple of utes? It's
the first thing I thought of. So apparently they're the
utah Utes whatever that's short for. I have no idea.
So there's a game between them tomorrow. Hopefully that game
is not on ABC. Not that I would be watching

(30:04):
the game anyway, but if I wanted to, I wouldn't
be able to because YouTube TV yanked all the Disney networks,
So fuck you YouTube TV and fuck you Disney greedy bastards.
So anyway, right, we got a big college football game tomorrow.
They pitch it to footage. Now is why am I
even talking about this? Why is this relevant? Because they

(30:26):
send it to footage from earlier today. They taped something
at the arena because the crowd is full, it's not
like an empty arena. And what they did was they
taped a match between the two team mascots. They got
their own entrances and everything. One of them was a
bear Cat and he came down to the ring and

(30:46):
the other one was a redtail Hawk. The hawk was
the fan favorite because they were in Utah. Corey Graves
said the bear cat was trying to carry on the
legacy of great bear cats of the past, like right
and Lee and I popped. I popped for that I

(31:06):
cannot lie. I said, are they gonna Are they gonna
slip a mention in? And sure enough Corey Graves did,
good old bear Cat Lee. Never forget, Never forget bear
Cat Lee. So the Hawk, they said, the hawk's name
was Swoop. I tells you what's in this glass here?

(31:28):
I thought, They said snoop. I'm like snoop. The Hawk's
name was Swoop. We were told he did a people's elbow,
which Michael Cole referred to as the people's wing. And
Corey finished it off by saying, Swoop there it is. Yeah,
there you go. That's what I thought of this segment.

(31:51):
That's what I thought of the show tonight. Swoop there
it is. That's three minutes of my life that I
will never be able to get back. But it was
almost worth it for the bear cat joke. Not quite,
but almost almost. We had the MotorCity machine guns against

(32:12):
the MFTs, so the machine guns they had the upper hand.
Early on. They came back from a break with Tomatonga
having Alex Shelley in a rest hold. As the MFTs
held the advantage, Shelley escaped with a flatliner to the
middle turn buckle to J. C. Matteo, which allowed Chris
Saban to tag in and Sabin held his own for
a little bit as Shelley got the all clear for

(32:33):
the suicide dive out to the floor. A solo Socoa
distraction allowed Tonga Loa to dump Alex Shelley from the
top rope, followed by the not so hidden blade of Tomatonga.
He's now calling this. Excuse me, he's calling this the Cutthroat.
It's his version of a will Osprey hidden Blade, but
not as good. But it won. I guess it's good

(32:55):
enough to win, So the MFTs pick up the win
after the match was over. I had the NFTs. The
both of those things suck, by the way. He had
the MFTs attacked the machine guns until Ray Phoenix ran
out and he got some offense in on Big Taalatangi
here before the Giant mowed him down with a big

(33:15):
boot that brought out Shinsky Nakamora, who attempted to make
the save. He was not entirely successful here and so
he got laid out as well thanks to the numbers game.
What can I say about this match? It was a match?
How's that for a review? It was a match? The

(33:36):
MFTs bore the shit out of me, and no amount
of paint is going to change that. The crowd was
bored with this too. I don't blame them. Anybody who's
gonna complain about the crowd in Utah tonight. Look, I
hope they're more lively for Saturday Night's main event tomorrow.
But I am not going to sit here and say, oh,
the crowd, man, this was a dead crowd today. Yeah,

(33:58):
no shit. Did you see the show did they put
on tonight? I would be dead too. First of all,
I wouldn't pay those ticket prices to go to a
show like that, but if I did, I'd probably be
slumped over in my chair in deep rem sleep. I
don't blame them, don't hold it against them. It's not
their fault. But I'm telling you about Wargames Wargames because

(34:22):
we're still hearing that the Wargames is supposed to be
the Vision against a team with Roman and Punk, and look,
I hope it is. Because of the two options here,
that's the more desirable option. Even though I'll be honest
with you, I really don't think there's a need for
a men's Wargames match this year. You could do a
women's wargames match and do something else in lieu of Amen's.
But of course we gotta get one, we got to

(34:43):
get the other. But it just feels to me I'm
watching these shows, and a few weeks ago it was like, man,
are they going to set up the MFTs and the
Wyatt Six? And then outside of a Nicky Cross cameo tonight,
the Wyatt Six have not been on the show. Right.
We had that little face off between the two groups
a few weeks ago, but nothing since, which is fine
with me a little strange. But Sammy z Ain had

(35:08):
told Nick all this earlier in the show, please let
me go out there, let me be in the corner
of the machine guns, just to watch their back against
the MFTs, and all this wouldn't allow him to do so.
So now Ray Phoenix comes out there and he's getting
mowed down. Knackamoor is going out there, he's getting mowed down.
We know Sammy z Ain is gonna want to get
his hands on Solo Sokoa. So that's three guys right

(35:29):
there and the machine guns just got beat down. Are
we looking at the MFTs against Sammy z Ain, Ray Phoenix,
Shinsky Nakamura and the MotorCity machine Guns. Is that what
we're looking at for a war games match? I mean,
sure it would get those guys a spot on the
on the show at Survivor Series. I would love for

(35:50):
all those guys to have a well maybe not about
the MFTs, but you know the rest of these guys,
I would love for them to have a real spot
on that show. But I can't say that it's a
wargames match that really interests me, or that it's one
of these rivalries that really warrants the need for a
war games match. So now we're getting into this territory,

(36:12):
which is you know, one of the things that I
worried about because this is what happened with Helena sel
where you have war games every year and even when
you don't have the rivalry, you don't have the story
right to support it. We gotta do war games because
it's that time of year. And that's something that like
Helen is Sale and wargames, it should never be about that.

(36:34):
It should never be about, well, it's that time of year, right,
you should have some sort of hot feud or even
a couple of them. Maybe if you want to merge
them together and people kind of pair off, and it
just feels like this year they really don't have that,
and it just it's gonna feel very forced if they
do that. Now, with people like Ray Phoenix and Sammy

(36:56):
Zain in there, I trust they could find a way
to make it work. But as I sit here right now,
we are heading into Survivor series in a matter of weeks,
right about a month now, I wish I could sit
here and tell you that I was excited to see
war Games. I'm really not. I'm really not. And I
could say the same by the way for Blood and
Guts in AW. Do you realize that in the month

(37:16):
of November we are poised to basically have four Wargames matches,
four of them within like a two week time span.
That's a lot. That's too much, is what that is.
And not a single one of them, not a single
one of them. I could sit here and tell you, oh, man,

(37:37):
this few has been building up for so long, that's
gonna be that's gonna have war Games match right there. No, No,
I mean an aw, they actually have had the women beefing,
you know, for a number of months, where you know
you could at least say Okay, I could see that,
and frankly, I think you could say the same thing
even for the women in WWE. You know, so the

(37:58):
women's wargames matches this year seemed to have more juice
to them than the men's do. But we'll see how
they play out. We'll see maybe it won't be the
MFTs holding out. Hope four wargames matches, it's crazy now.

(38:18):
In the back, Nick all This asked Drew McIntyre if
he had read over the contract for Saturday night's main event,
and Drew said I did. All This said, do you
have any issues with it? McIntyre said nope, and all
This was very skeptical. McIntyre told him, look, I know
you have a highly stressful job. Instead of worrying that

(38:41):
I'm going to go out there with a live microphone
and say something I shouldn't, relax, I'll see you out there,
and that led to the closing segment the contract signing
with Nick All This in the ring to introduce first
the WWE champion Cody Rhodes out in his arms in
halloween suit, and then Drew McIntyre was out and sure enough,

(39:04):
when it came time to sign the damn contract. McIntyre said,
I can't now Cody signed the contract. Cody had no
issue with it. He signed the contract straight away. Drew
said he couldn't do it. He said, this contract is
far too lopsided, and all this said, it's the standard
WWE championship contract, and he demanded that McIntyre sign it.

(39:28):
So Drew asked him, if I get disqualified tomorrow, what happens?
Cody keeps the title? If I get counted out tomorrow,
what happens? Cody keeps the title? What about Cody? What
if he gets himself disqualified? And this is a fair point, actually,
what if he gets himself disqualified the same way that

(39:51):
he did a few weeks ago, he keeps the title.
What happens if Cody gets counted out? He keeps the title. Yeah,
it's called the champion's advantage, by the way, but he's
pointing all of these different things out and all this said,
you know what, you don't want to sign this. Fine,

(40:14):
I'm sure that we have plenty of men in the
back right now who would love to go in there
and wrestle Cody Road for the WWE Championship. Take your place,
So Drew called his bluff. He said, okay, go get
one of them, and he stood up to go leave.
Cody heard enough, though, he told Drew sit down, and

(40:34):
Cody asked him if he wanted a clause added to
the contract that said that if Cody gets counted out,
he loses the title. And Drew said yes, and Cody said,
do you want a clause in the contract that if
I get disqualified that you win the title? And Drew
said yes, and Cody said he's one hundred percent fine
with that. Now. Nick All just tried to talk him

(40:55):
out of it, because of course, nick All, this is
playing favorites here, but he's trying to talk Cody Rhoads
out of this. And Cody said, with all due respect
nick if Drew thinks he wants an easy way out
with me, I don't give a damn. So Drew said, great,
I'll sign now, and all this again tried to explain
that he wasn't happy about this, but Cody cut him

(41:15):
off and told him make it happen so that we
could finally end this, and All just said okay, and
with that Drew signed the contract. So Drew said he's happy,
but also sad that the two of them should be
friends right now. After riding a lot of the same
roads for twenty years. He just doesn't like how Cody
goes about his business. He represents he being Cody represents

(41:39):
corporate America. He said, he acts like Captain America. But
it's true. You know, he does come off corporate Cody.
That's a real thing, and you would think the fans
would hate him for but they cheer him every single week.
Cody is the American nightmare. But Drew said that he
does things the right way. He works hard, he tells

(41:59):
the truth. He doesn't use his influence. He's from another country.
He's an American citizen. He goes you know who he is.
He's the real American dream wo that got under Cody's skin.
He didn't like that very much. Cody said he's proud
to keep bringing up their parallel pads. He's fine with that.

(42:23):
He puts Drew over, he puts his career path over.
He said, there are still people following Drew's path. As
Drew had to climb that mountain all over again. He says,
we owe him a debt of gratitude for what he
did and how he built himself up until WWE called
him back. This is where they're different, though. Cody says,
when I got frustrated with WWE, I walked out you

(42:46):
you got fired, And then Cody used this line. I
would love to know who came up with this. He
used the line nice guys used to finish last until
I came along or until I showed up. However he
phrased it, but that was the gist of it. And
he went to go leave, and Drew said, look, I'm
not letting you have the last word like you always do,

(43:09):
and he mocked Cody. He says, I'm man of the people.
Look at you wearing your orange suit for Halloween, and
he said that he should be trick or treating tonight
with his daughters. He goes, what are their names? Again?
And that was it. As soon as he brought up
Cody's family, Cody attacked him and then Cody went to
go blast him with the belt, but Drew ducked it
and bailed out to the floor, and Michael Cole pointed

(43:30):
out that if Cody Rhodes did that tomorrow night on
Saturday Night's main event, he would lose the championship. So
Nick All this confronted Cody. Cody shoved him out of
the way, though when he noticed Drew got back in
the ring. Cody ate a Claymore kick, and then Drew
power bombed him through the table and posed with the
belt and he knelt down beside Cody and he swore,

(43:52):
he swore that he would take the title tomorrow. So
the big takeaway here is that Drew stood tall to
close the show and end this segment. That is a
bad omen if you are a Drew McIntyre fan, and
if you are hoping for a WWE championship change tomorrow night.

(44:12):
Not good. It's not looking good. And it's too bad
because I like the fact that they actually did add
some of these stipulations because it adds a little more
intrigue to the match. It makes it more plausible that
he might actually win. Drew might actually win the title.
But again, as much as it would make sense, especially now,

(44:32):
for Randy Orton to show back up, he had beef
with Drew, right he shows up and it leads to
him accidentally costing Cody the championship, I will say this,
you know, with this stipulation, if let's say Randy Orton
was to show up tomorrow, night and did something to
get Cody, you know, accidentally disqualified. That would be a

(44:53):
lame way for the WWE Championship to change hands. Like
it would be one thing if Randy got involved and
you know, sort of accidentally or accidentally on purpose, did
something that ultimately led to Drew beating Cody, But like,
it's one thing if he pins him, if the match
ends in a disqualification because Randy Orton gave Drew McIntyre

(45:14):
an RKO and that's how Drew McIntyre backdoors his way
into a WWE championship, that would be pretty lame. But
I just I don't I don't feel any differently than
I did days ago, and I did my predictions and
I said that I just as much as I would
love to see it, and I wholeheartedly endorse them going
ahead and changing the championship tomorrow, even if it's just

(45:36):
a short term thing. I can't see them doing it.
If we're gonna have a new World Heavyweight Champion crowned
on this show, and if Jade Cargill is going to
beat Tiffany Stratton to win the WWE Women's Championship, I
don't see them also changing the title here. I don't
see any issue with them doing it, you know, having
like three different title changes like that. But I just

(45:58):
I don't see them doing it. And if they don't
and Cody goes in there, even with the decks stacked
against him now and still wins, that's it. That's it
for Drew. There's no reason left to keep this going anymore.
He beat him clean at Wreussell Palooza. Drew has everything
in his favor now, and if Drew McIntyre still can't

(46:19):
get the job done, then Drew is a loser and
it's time to move on from Drew McIntyre. So I
don't know what they're gonna do. I don't know what
they're gonna do. I know what I would do, but
when this show was over, I just didn't feel confident that, Okay,
now I can see them now they're going to do it,
like eh, No, I don't know, I don't know. I
just don't feel that way. So I like the fact

(46:40):
they added those STIPs and the Ilia Dragon of Nathan
Fraser match was easily the highlight of the show. The
rest of the show was boring. It's skippable. It was
like SmackDown regressed, you know, I know they were moving
along certain things they're trying to push. The mft's hard.
This MFT thing is a complete fail. I'm sorry the
MFT experiments so far. If they if they don't, if
they refuse to do something with the MFTs where they

(47:06):
further character development with the individual members of the group,
and even then I'm not sure if it's gonna work,
but that would be something that I think would interest me,
depending on how they go about doing it. In the
absence of that, this does nothing for me absolutely, and
they could change their retire you know, they have new
outfits now and now Tomatonga doesn't even have an outfit anymore.

(47:27):
He showing off his physique and they have you know,
war paint on their faces. I don't give a shit.
This shit is boring. It's just fucking boring. And I
know Solo can be very entertaining. He hasn't in him
to be funny and entertaining. We've seen flashes of it before,
but I'm sorry, the MFT shit is just fucking boring.
It's Timu bloodline. Solo Sokoa is not someone who's in
a position where he should be leading his own faction.

(47:49):
I've said this about Seth Rollins as well. I've said
this about Seth Rollins. Seth Rollins is not somebody, I
think who can adequately lead his own faction. Seth Rollins
as part of a fact, as one member of a group.
We've seen that many times. That's fine, that can work,
But I felt that way even with Seth and the
vision like him leading his own crew. He's just not

(48:11):
that guy. So now you have Solo Sokoa who's doing
the same thing on this show, and they're really trying
to push these guys and get something going with them
as a heel faction and put heat on them, and
God bless them for trying, but it's not working. It's
just not and it just actively drags the show down.
They had multiple segments on there. How many segments did
the MFTs have on the show tonight? Four five? Right,

(48:34):
at least a couple of backstage segments and then a match,
No wonder. I don't want to put it all on them.
This show has problems far beyond the MFTs. But yeah,
that did not help things tonight at all. But let's
talk about this Saturday night's main event card. Here. I
will point out to you that I am going to

(48:55):
be live, not as the Macho Monster, but I am
going to be live tomorrow night, back here on the
channel in less than twenty four hours, talking all that
goes down at Saturday Night's main event, Good, bad or indifferent.
So join me. It's a seven o'clock Eastern start time
for the I guess would it be considered a PL

(49:16):
would you call it a P. I guess it would
be a PL. So when that's over, probably around nine
thirty maybe ten pm, that is when I will be
live here on the channel. Here's the lineup. There were
no new matches at it, so this is it right here.
We got four matches. We got dominic Mysterio defending the
Intercontinental Championship in a triple threat match against Russev and Penta.

(49:40):
And I do not see dom losing the championship, especially
if he's headed for a match with John Cena. I
I would say fear. I know some people are just
waiting with paated breath for John Cena to become a
Grand Slam winner. I don't give a shit, But if
they are going to do John's and Dominicque Mysterio, I

(50:02):
suspect the title will be on the line in that
so he is not losing his championship. Tomorrow, we have
Jade car Gill against Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship.
Jade is gonna win the title. Jade's sort of in
a position similar to that of Drew McIntyre, where it's
sinker swim. It's time to nut up or shut up,

(50:23):
because Jade Cargill is another one who has a babyface.
She got beat by Tiffany. She's had a couple of
different opportunities, now actually three different ones. She's failed to
win the championship every single time. Now she's turned heel
and then you're gonna turn around and beat her. And
not only that, not only that, but think about this.
What were they teasing all night? What was Nick all
this going around and talking to her. I'll please you know,

(50:44):
are you sure you're good? Are you sure you're good?
In Tiffany's like, hey, hey, I'll be fine. I'll be fine.
She's got a knee injury. She's not even one hundred percent.
So think about that. Jade Cargill, who just turned heel,
is going to go in there lose to a one
legged woman. Absolutely not. That cannot happen. Jade is going
to win that title. To me, that's a four gun conclusion,

(51:06):
which leads to the other two championship matches. We have
Cody and Drew for the WWE title. As much as
I would love to be wrong, I don't think I am.
I think Cody leaves Salt Lake City as the champion.
And then we have Cmpunk and we have jay Uso
four letters, one word, uh huh, yeats yeating his way

(51:32):
into what I believe is going to be the main
event of the show, and we'll see. Are we going
to have a new world heavyweight champion crowned? I kind
of hope not. I kind of hope not, And I
hope they could find a way to drag this into
Survivor series, especially if the Vision is not involved in
wargames right then what else would they be doing. Maybe

(51:52):
they can do some kind of tournament. I don't know,
But if we are going to have a new world
heavyweight champion crowned, I believe it is going to be
Cmpunk and not jay Uso. But I'm not convinced that
we are gonna have a new world heavyweight champion. We'll see.
Let's take a look at the Twitter. Paul here, see
what you thought of this shit show tonight? What did

(52:13):
you think of the Halloween edition of SmackDown? A very
appropriate thirty six percent thumbs up to sixty almost sixty
four percent thumbs down? Good good, This was not a
thumbs up show. Oh man, let's get into these. Let's

(52:39):
have some fun and then we get to do double B.
The Booker later ashually, where are we are we doing
double B the book I haven't even checked the likes? Yes,
we will, four hundred and thirty six likes. I know
we can do better. We hit the goal, but I
know we can do better than that. So let's see
if we can get that up to at least five
point fifty. Did I see the Seth Rollins interview this morning? Yeah?

(53:03):
I saw he was in a bear costume. I know
he's a big Chicago Bears fan. He was in a
bear costume on Good Morning Football. And everybody's running now
with him saying that, oh, he's going to be out
for six months. Here's the problem, though, I don't I
can't believe anything he says. He's already lied to us once,
So is he going to be out six months? Is
he saying six months and then he'll be back in

(53:24):
four months. I don't believe a word he says, so
to me, that's not real news. Holiday one ninety seven
says Hi Solo. I think the plan is for Sena
to win the Intercontinental Belt at Survivor Series and drop
it to Gunther in his last match. Then we get
Gunther against Seamus at WrestleMania for the Intercontinental Championship, where

(53:46):
Seamus finally wins. Well, I'll tell you what if that
ends up being the plan, I am totally cool with
another Gunther Seamous match which Shame is finally winning. It's
it's been a while else since we've seen them in
the ring together, and if Seamus gets that moment at
WrestleMania next year, then it'll all be worth it that

(54:09):
I'd be okay with. Dry Chicken says it's the good
Sons scenario. Save one and let the other one go.
Girl next Door Brunette's edition from Halloween Movies. Neph Campbell
or Wenona Rider Nev Campbell, Sorry, Winona, it's Nev Campbell.

(54:29):
Who is gonna be in the new Scream seven movie.
By the way, if you didn't see the trailer for
the new movie. Boy, they're really beating that thing to death,
aren't they. Scum Dog four to twenty says Happy Halloween.
So happy Halloween, scum Dog, Thank you very much. It
be Halloween. No huh, I'm gonna go trick or treating

(54:52):
with Elizabeth. He used to call her Elizabeth. Never noticed that,
not Elizabeth. Elizabeth dried Chicken says, it's the zombie apocalypse.
Name five male wrestlers and four females from any wrestling
promotion to help you in the apocalypse. Why do we
need to assign numbers to this? Just ask me, like,

(55:13):
who would I take with me in a zombie apocalypse?
As far as male wrestlers, I'm gonna take the biggest,
nastiest fucking guys I can find. I'm gonna take brock Lesner,
I'm gonna take Vader, I'm gonna take let's see, who
else am I gonna take? Bruiser Brody sounds about right?

Speaker 4 (55:37):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Women taking women with me in the zombie apocalypse. I'll
take Ria Ripley. I think she could handle things quite well.
Ria Ripley and China. How about that Ragnarok? This show
peaked with the US title match. Thank god for ilia
Dragonov against Nathan Fraser. Dude, it was the only redeeming

(55:59):
thing on the entire show, Like, legitimately the only redeeming
thing on the entire show, the Shawnathon ten dollars super chat.
If you get a chance, you should check on WWE's
YouTube channel for Wyatt six going to Universal for the
Firefly Funhouse. Yeah, I did see that. I did see that.

(56:20):
It was very heartbreaking actually because you could just see
how emotional that Rowan was, you know, talking about Bray
and Brody and they had that one swamp room that
was in there because the camera was following them around
as they went through the house. And then he was
hugging and crying with Jason Baker, who's the uh, you know,

(56:42):
the effects artist who worked a lot with Bray, especially
on the Fiend stuff. So yeah, it was a very
heartbreaking thing to see. Holliday says, I think Dragonov has
potential to be thrusted into the SmackDown main events scene
when his US title reign ends. He puts on really
good match Oh mean, no one's denying that he puts

(57:02):
on really good matches, but it is going to take
more than that for him to get any sort of
sustained push in the main events scene in WWE. You know,
in WWE, you've got to connect with the audience in
a particular way. You've got to be able to confidently
cut promos, which I think he can do, and you've
got to be able to, you know, back it up

(57:24):
in the ring. I mean, he checks all those boxes.
So I'm not saying he can't be someone who can
consistently be in the main events scene. But you know, WWE,
I think is very particular about what they look for
in certain people who are featured like that. Do they
see that an Ilia Dragon of I don't know, but

(57:45):
I'm with you on that holiday says oh, thank you Holliday,
I was the super chat I just read it says,
give me backshots solo monster on Halloween. How about I
give you some cotton candy? About that, I'll give you
some cotton candy. I'll give you some candy corn, a
couple of TwixT bars. What would Anna wyless WWE look

(58:11):
like for a year. It would look like a totally
different company, is what it would look like. It would
look like. Aw Sidrow is with us and Sidrow says.
Husband says to wife, my Olympic condoms have arrived. I

(58:32):
think I'll wear gold tonight, and the wife says, why
not wear silver and come second for a change with
Sidro with that Halloween humor?

Speaker 3 (58:45):
Look at this guy.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
I gotta refresh this listen. Now we've had a lot
more messages here. I'm going to make sure I don't
miss anybody. We got Duffs Vinces with us as well.
We might have a little competition here between Sidrow and
Dove's vidsine Chris Jericho Countdown played again on SmackDown tonight.
I'm saying he's returning in thirty to forty five days.

(59:11):
But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and that's all right.
Happy Halloween everyone, During which segment did you hear this
Chris Jericho Countdown? It's the second time you've mentioned this, Sidrow,
what kind of magazine do cows read? A cattle log?

(59:38):
We got Nick Triple h putting himself front and center
on the WrestleMania forty two poster is the perfect image
for what's wrong with the show right now. Dude is
more focused on making himself the face than actually booking
a decent show. He does seem rather obsessed, doesn't he
with making sure that his face is on just about everything.

(01:00:00):
I think someone's enjoying their position a little too much.
Duffs VIDs what two vampires use to make tea tampons?
Oh my god, yes, I get it. Disgustingly, I get it,

(01:00:28):
Duffs that you are just horrendous. He says, what do
you call a witch that lives at the beach a sandwich? See?
Now that's a more family friendly Halloween joke. That right
there is a clever joke. Sidrow with the thirteen Machoman

(01:00:58):
super chest, the brand new Rady Savage super Chata. Yeah,
did you hear about the witch that had triplets? She
didn't know which which was witch? And what's the difference
between bird flu and swine flu? One requires oinkment and

(01:01:18):
the other requires tweetment. You earned that one. You earned,
You earned that one. Venom catetsu with a forty dollars

(01:01:40):
aw Sikos super Chat four day work weeks starting in January.
This means I can actually catch SmackDown reviews live regularly.
That's awesome. It'll be good to have you with us.
I'll also set up a membership soon thereafter hope the
Halloween whiskey, treating you as well as mine.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Cheers, cheers to you too. Got the whiskey, we got
the we got the uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
What flavor is this? Oh this is a mild we
got the slim gym here. Watch your protein got six
grams of protein in that. Skywalker with the four ninety
nine says, why haven't you ever mentioned the WCW promo

(01:02:35):
that occurred on Monday Night tro in October of ninety
eight between Rick Steiner and Chucky the Doll. I know
I've mentioned it before on the podcast. It might have
been like ten, ten or twelve years ago, but I've
definitely mentioned it before. Apparently he was just exposed to
this wonderful segment just recently. Yes, that was a real thing,
by the way. But see Chucky was very lucky because

(01:02:58):
Chucky was I think if I remember he was on
the tron, I don't believe Chucky was there live. So
Chucky did not have to be subjected to Rick Steiner
tying him down to a chair in the back and
doing unspeakable things to him. Uh Duff's vice with a
nine ninety nine. A guy went to a Halloween party
with a girl on his back. The host asked, what
are you supposed to be? He says a snail. Host asked,

(01:03:23):
who's that on your back? Replies, Oh, that's mische, that's
that's Michelle. Yeah, it took me. I'm not afraid to

(01:03:49):
admit it took me like three or four seconds. And
then when I got it, I got it, of all
the ones, of all the ones to get me Michelle.
Super Pony just got done watching H two oh again

(01:04:11):
for the first time in years. I think it's the
third best in the franchise, behind H one and H two.
That's the one with ll coolj Right, it's like twenty
years after the first one. It's not the worst one,
not one of my personal favorites, but it's definitely not

(01:04:34):
one of the worst either. Boots with a ten, what's
going on? Boots, Tony Shavanni call in sick for the
next couple of days. I have concerns that Samoa Joe
might kill him. I'm not convinced that Tony Shavanni even exists.
And Hangman Paige might have been playing Tony Shavanni going

(01:04:55):
all the way back to the WCW days. He did
so well on Wednesday night. That was honestly one of
the best like closing segments on Dynamite in a very
long time. That was really well done what they did
at the end of Dynamite, Thank you, just G. Just
Ge says, great costume, solemn monster. I may have to

(01:05:16):
make this a regular thing here, I look so good
in this costume. Bobert, No message, just dropping some love
with that forty five dollars Gooberg super Chat, Thank you, Bobert.
Street Fighter eighty eight just wanted Osca to jump scare
the chat. Keep up the great work, solo and Happy Halloween.

(01:05:39):
Thank you brother. Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help.
You know, World Mental Health Day recently passed on October tenth,
but just because that day may have come and gone
doesn't mean we can't take a moment to say thank
you to all the therapists out there. Better Help therapists
have helped over five million people worldwide on their mental
health journey, whether it be coping with a loss in

their life or finding out how to become a better
version of themselves. Better Help is honoring those connections and
the therapists who make them possible, and is showing just
how easy it is to get guidance from a licensed
therapist online. I've used Better Help myself in the past
for something that I would consider minor, but you'd be
surprised how quickly something minor it could turn into something
major if left untreated. For me, it was incredibly helpful

(01:06:25):
just to have someone to talk to, and for that
I will say thank you as well. And if it
helped me, I know it can help you too. Finding
the right therapist can be life changing, and Better Help
makes that process simple. They do the initial matching work
for you so that you can focus on your therapy goals.

needs and preferences, and their twelve plus years of experience

it right the first time, but if for any reason
you're not happy with your match, you can switch to
a different therapist at any time. All Better Help therapists

Chat US Open Challenge idea. We continue to have the
champion lose like Sammy did after a few challenges. Everyone

(01:07:57):
tries to continue the tradition and eventually it ends when
a heel wins and refuses to continue the challenge. Uh yeah,
I like that. I like that idea. The heel is
just like, yeah, fuck that shit, I'm not defending my
title every week. That's what a heel should do. We

(01:08:17):
got Joaquim with a nine ninety nine. Had to add
an extra few dollars before you decided to backhand me.
I've I've the US title are the U wait wait
let me what I've The US tittle are the best
part of Friday. Oh, also, my name is pronounced you

(01:08:38):
Kim Okay saying thank you. I thought it was jak Kim.
You Kim, you Kim, thank you for the nine ninety nine.
He agrees. See the US title Open challenges are the
best parts of this show. On Fridays, uh we we Almighty.

(01:09:00):
A twenty six year old Kyle Fletcher against a twenty
six year old Randy Orton. Who's better? Kyle Fletcher is
very good. I still go with Randy Orton, though, there's
just certain it's even just the small things you know
he was, you know, not that he doesn't still have

(01:09:22):
that in him now, but he was just so smooth
and so good at everything he did. I still go
with Randy Orton. But Kyle Fletcher is great. Kyle Fletcher
has hopefully some world championships in his future. Dups VIDs.

(01:09:42):
A man who was in court for stealing a bag
was sentenced in three minutes. It was a briefcase, very briefcase. Yes, indeed,
did somebody say three minutes? Isaac worst movie Halloween Ends
or Resurrection will always be what's a ghost's favorite means

(01:10:12):
of travel? This is from Boots by the way, a
boscle sorry, Boots, I'm sorry, brother. I gotta call it
like I see it. Paul Hamilton. Yeah, I didn't catch

(01:10:35):
it when it came in as far as the name
that was attached to it, but look at that. I
gotta give him another shout out there, Paul Hamilton, the
Portland pomp star himself and one of the nicest guys
I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. A big
fan of the show for many years, big supporter dropping
a one hundred dollars super chat. The big bomb of

(01:10:57):
the night goes to Paul. Silver Shamrock would be very
disappointed in this SmackDown. Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween, Paul. We
talk about that Silver Shamrock commercial every single year from
Halloween three. Still got that jingle in my head. I
just watched it yesterday. I just watched it yesterday. Temjan Zephyr,

(01:11:26):
also big supporter of the show. Fifty dollars goon thar bomb,
Happy Halloween Solo. Since you watched Sinners, where would you
rank it amongst your list of favorite horror movies? You
know it's that's tough. I mean, I rank it among
I think some of the best, some of the very

(01:11:47):
best vampire movies that I've ever seen. Like if I
had to make and I think I answered a question
in the mailbag once about this like a vampire movie,
Mount Rushmore, it would be on there. That would be
on there. The Lost Boys would be on there. Fright
Night would be on there. All time favorite horror movies,

(01:12:09):
it's not. It's not in my like top top list.
I don't know where it would rank, but like I
don't have it in the top five or anything like that.
I thought it was an excellent movie, but I can't
say it's in that like elite class of like my
all time favorites. Bass Bears is funky like a monkey,
too sweet to be sour. The Tower of Power, too

(01:12:33):
sweet to be sour, funky like a monkey. Woo. Yeah,
he's got to be outside of Hogan, right, He's got
to be the most like impressioned wrestler of all time.
He has to be. He has to be. It really
is Hogan and Savage even to this day. The Bossmo Jackson,

(01:12:57):
what's going on, Bossmo Jackson? Good to hear from you.
You sending my regards to my brother Solo. Thank you,
Bossmo Jackson. I hope you had a very happy Halloween, Toya.
Toya ain't nice. Hey Solo, love your costume. Thank you, Toya.
I think it suits me well, definitely makes me stand out. Actually,

(01:13:27):
I should take my take the hat off here. I
just have the bandana on. Look at that. Yeah, take
I take my hat off to you, Toya. There you go, Diego.
I know people are done with Grande Americano over there there,
but the run in connection with the people down here

(01:13:47):
in Triple A is fucking amazing, dude. Like the reactions
that Kaiser gets as El Grande Americano and the reactions
that Dom gets, Like those guys are superstar on a
level in Triple A that they are not in WWE.
And Dom is pretty popular in WWE, but like nothing
like it is in Triple A. It's pretty incredible to

(01:14:10):
see when they go down there, how beloved they are
and the reaction both of them, especially Dom, but like
the reactions that both of them get, so they got
they got something special. They just have to keep milking
that because they come off as like these big megastars
when they're down there. The Bossmo Jackson today or tonight's

(01:14:30):
he says, tonight, I played as myself. I was mister
fine man. See, I almost read that wrong. I thought
that said tonight. I played with myself. That's what happens
sometimes when you read these super chats too quickly, and
I was like, Bossmo Jackson, that's fine. There's nothing hey,

(01:14:50):
there's nothing to be ashamed of there. Everyone spends their
Halloweens differently. You can play as yourself, you can play
with yourself, whatever makes happy. Brother Duff's VIDs what do
panda ghosts eat? Bamboo? Bamboo solo? When he sees Stephanie

(01:15:21):
Vicer's tweet, well, now you're getting into solo after dark
here cataclysmic ten dollars, super chat, Happy Halloween Solo. I've
noticed you seem pretty into the eighties. You've noticed, huh,
and wanted to recommend the soundtrack from the game Hotline Miami,

(01:15:43):
especially Carpenter Brute Hotline Miami. I don't think I've ever
heard of that game before. I am gonna make a
note right now, Hotline Miami soundtrack, Thank you, brother, I
will definitely look into that. Always love a good eighties fine.

(01:16:06):
I'm also a big fan of synthwave, synth wave, retro wave,
vapor wave, g Barry Free I would pay good money
for a hog. For a hog, I know what you
mean for a hog and DPW collab show. Well, I mean, look,

(01:16:29):
anything's possible. The Mount Vernon kid Christopher Bennett with a
five Happy Halloween. Soller just completed my thirty one days
of Halloween. I watched a horror movie every day this month.
Ended it tonight with Sinners. Well, you made a fine
choice because that was a great movie. So was Weapons.
By the way, you didn't see Weapons. Sinners and Weapons

(01:16:52):
two of the best movies of the year. Tux Et
Servo No Message is showing some love with a fifteen
dollars super chat. Thank you, brother Tuxedo, much love. I
will snap into a slim gym here for you and
Caden Crawford, thank you for the membership. I see Kayden

(01:17:16):
on TNT on Tuesdays. Much love to Kayden, Alexander. Julia
needs to have us open challenges every week. Well, the
problem with that, I don't think they have the women
on SmackDown right now to support an open challenge every

(01:17:37):
single week. And the other thing also is if she
starts doing that naturally, you're gonna get people who are
gonna start comparing the two open challenges, and I just
don't see the level of competition on the women's side
on that show right now, being being that it's not
comparable to what they have on the men's side. I

(01:17:57):
just see people comparing the two and being like, oh, yeah,
this is underwhelming. That's the problem. When you do two
of the same thing on the same show, naturally they're
gonna be compared. But I don't think that the women's
roster on that show right now, without any sort of
reshuffling or additions from NXT, it's not gonna last more
than a few weeks. So unless they change that, then

(01:18:20):
I don't see the point in doing that. Holy shit wrestling, Buy, Rent, sell, Letterman, Leno,
and Conan Conin is my number one. Conan to this
day is still hilarious. But you go back and watch
some of those old classic Conan skits, especially the remotes

(01:18:41):
that he would do on location, or even the Triumphy
in Salt Comic Dog stuff, any of his clueless gamer videos. Like,
Conan is just the best. So I'm gonna buy on him.
I'm going to rent on Leno, and I'm gonna sell
on Letterman. I never I never got into Letterman I

(01:19:02):
used to watch Leno. I never watched I should say never,
but like I, it was never like a letterman. Guy
Bobert reviews with the twenty five in the year two
thous in the year two thousand, remember that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:22):
In the year two thousand, in the year two.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
Those were great segments. Bobert reviews. I think Cody did
attack Jacob Fatu, but not alone. Cody probably asked his
old friends for help, people who are x ae W stars.
So now we're getting into the conspiracy theory versions here.

(01:19:48):
Chris Jericho gonna come back and be what aligned with Cody.
I don't see that happening. It's creative, but I don't
think that's gonna be the case. JR. Vascher was hoping
for Ilia Dragonov versus consequences creed with Waller being Rocky,

(01:20:11):
Kofe being Duke yelling, throwing the damn towel, just through
a complete recreation Ilia Drago, Yeah, I see what you
did there, Ilia Drago nov boots should wwe have a
Grande Americano No, Mama's guay sure, I don't know what

(01:20:33):
the fuck that means? Uh shirt on the shop zone.
I'm gonna say no, but I will admit I have
no idea what you just said. No, Mames guy, is
that what it is? No, I'm sure I just butchered that.
No Mames gouey oh man, I'm so white? Uh the Yatagaratsu.

(01:20:59):
In a perfect alternate world, the Pimp Monster crashes through
the wall instead of the shock Master the Pimp Monster.
Should I change my handle? Is that gonna be the
new name of the show? The Pimp Monster slaps off?
Is that what it's gonna be? Henry CHANASKI that should

(01:21:23):
be your new look. It works for you, you know what.
I tend to agree, honestly. But it's one thing to
wear this on October thirty. First, if I was sitting here,
let's say, on I don't know January second, wearing this,
I think that might be a little weird or maybe
not dry. Chicken says brock Lesnar attacked Jacob Fatu. Well,

(01:21:50):
if brock Lesnar attacked you, you might lose some teeth, So,
I mean, that's believable. But no, I don't think brock
Lesnar attacked Jacob Fatu. Henry says, I watched a pay
per view of dwarves in a little ring with little
weapons and it was more entertaining. Shout out to micro wrestling.
You guys are killing it. Is micro wrestling still a thing?

(01:22:13):
I remember that from many years ago, but I didn't know.
I didn't know that there was if it's the same
show or promotion I'm thinking of, I didn't know if
it was still active. It's not weird on YouTube, Salamn,
So you're probably right. There is a lot of weird
shit on YouTube. Jeremy Row should have four new champions tomorrow,

(01:22:41):
but Triple H is lame. Yeah, you're not getting four
new champions tomorrow, that I can promise you. Eight nine
Tech saw some comments of RVD and Henry on the rodd.
Jackson's situation made me shake my head. Are there wrestlers

(01:23:04):
out there to look up to? There are? But yeah,
there are a lot of wrestlers, especially some old hats
that over the years have really exposed themselves and said
some things like there'll be some sort of incident and
they'll chime in on it, and it's like, what it's like,
is it the CTE talking? Maybe it might be possible,

(01:23:27):
or they're just terrible people. In some cases you kind
of get a mix, but there have been a lot
of people from like that Golden era that over the years,
you know, you hear about some of the people that
you like, you watched when you were younger, and you know,
they just they let you down or they just make
you shake your head. But there are wrestlers to look

(01:23:53):
up to, you know. McK foley is one of them.
Mc foley has I think mc foley when you really look,
especially as posts career trajectory and you know some of
the charities that he's been involved in. He's one of
the good ones, you know. And there are others too,
if you just look hard enough, you'll know where to

(01:24:15):
find them. Dry Chicken says, I need to give WWE Creative,
including Michael Hayes, Bruce Pritchard, and Road Doug buckets of
Kentucky Fried chicken and biscuits as a gift. You're trying
to clog their arteries? Is that what you're trying to do?
Street Fighter, Did you see Stephanie Vicaire's Halloween outfit? Yes,

(01:24:37):
that was the one from earlier that I read, and
I quickly went to go see what he was talking about,
and I was not disappointed. Thank you, Brother tem Gin
put aliens on your playlist two. I've had people tell
me that yes it is on there, sick this with

(01:25:01):
a five dollars super chat, Hey solo, hope all as well.
How would you book Live Morgan's return. I wonder if
Dirty Dom will be in the world title picture by
the time she gets back. I don't think he will be.
Not yet for Live Morgan, honestly. I mean, at this point,
it probably just makes sense to save her as a
Royal Rumble surprise and she doesn't even have to win it,

(01:25:22):
you know, because I don't know if they have her
in the plans for the Women's World Championship match of WrestleMania.
I could see that as Stephanie and Rhea. But if not,
I could see her in the Rumble returning and then
maybe eliminating Roxanne, or Roxanne eliminates her and you just
go from there. You know. With that story, you got
to pick up with the live in Roxane stuff, because

(01:25:44):
you could kind of see like it was going somewhere,
even though rox Sane was being all nice to her.
I'd like to see them and like to think that
they would pick up with that. Dry Chicken says, if
you see an invisible man in your neighborhood. Who are
you gonna call? If I see an invisible man? Who
am I gonna call?

Speaker 4 (01:26:03):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
I'm gonna call the psych ward and get myself some
help until they tell me my insurance doesn't cover it,
so then I won't do anything. Sidrow, where do cows
shop online? Team move? What the fuck? I hit the

(01:26:27):
wrong bun? Team? But that was a good one. Though,
that was a good one. I hit the wrong button.
I can't believe it, Sidrow. What do you call a
man with nice binoculars? Seymour? Of course? Furious Nation with
a four ninety nine? What's up? Solo? Happy Halloween? Happy Halloween?

(01:26:50):
Sir oohe no pun intended thoughts on Eddie Guerrero's daughter
Sherilyn starting her wrestling journey. I did hear that. I
think she's training with Booker t Reality of Wrestling, and
I wish her well. Apparently she wants to get into it.
I don't know how old she is, but she shouldn't

(01:27:13):
be that old, so I guess, you know, never too
late to start on that journey, So I wish her well.
Paul Carpenter with two bucks, who wins Punisher or Batman?
Is soft? Soft? He says is soft compared who wins

(01:27:36):
between Batman or Punisher Batman Sidow wipes a window. I
see through her and she's a pain. P A n E.
For those listening to this on the download, has away

(01:28:00):
with words retro Koh, why is dark spelled with a
K instead of a C because you can't see in
the dark? Also, what do you call more than one Batman?
An orphanage? Thank you? Retro? Cameron Spencer is with us

(01:28:30):
as well, with A four ninety nine getting in on
the Halloween fund tonight. Braun should lead the vision and
start a group with Waller, Miss Omas and Ivy Nile.
He could be the Heel champion and lead the group.
Are you down for that?

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
No, I'm not. How did you come up with that
motley crew of people.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
I'm all for them using Omas see I think omash be.
I mean he could be like a modern day version
of Apa, you know, offering his services to anybody for protection.
I think I saw him or some tweet maybe from him,
kind of teasing something like that. But I think that
would be a great idea for him. They should definitely

(01:29:18):
be doing something with him. They pulled him away from
Japan to do what. I don't know. I'm still trying
to figure out why they were in such a fucking
rush to pull him away from Pro Wrestling Noah where
he had to vacate the tag team championship to do what?
Have they used him once since then? It's ridiculous. But yeah,
that group is not going to do it for me.
I'm sorry, that's a no go for me. Henry says,

(01:29:44):
what's the better movie, Ironclaw or The Wrestler? I saw
them both, both very good movies. For me, It's The Wrestler.
Brian Finelli, Why do ghosts love elevators? It lips their spirits?
Happy Halloween solo, Thank you, Brian. Happy Halloween to you

(01:30:06):
as well. Isaac Buyer sell Jason Goes to Hell, Well
that was me watching SmackDown tonight. Or Jason Goes to Manhattan.
Well that was okay. So part eight is Manhattan and
part nine is Jason Goes to Hell. Part nine sucked.
So I'm going with Manhattan and I'm selling on Jason
Goes to Hell because that movie was awful. Velvet Floor

(01:30:33):
with a ten dollars super check. Shout out to the
Sola Monster. Happy Halloween, Sir, Happy Halloween velvet floor.

Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
Uh huh, let me get my glasses on here, here
we go.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
Now now I can see dried chicken. Five dollars super Chat,
pick your poison, Join the House of Tortures Halloween party
or join the don Kallis Family's costume party. I'll join
the don Kallis Family's costume party. O Cotta man o'cott

(01:31:16):
is doing some great fucking work right now. I want
to hang out with those guys. Paul Carpenter with a
five dollars super Chat. Do you think Dragonov is sloppy?
The way he and Fraser fell off that turnbuckle was sickening?
Do you think you should slow down and not rush things?

(01:31:36):
Why do you say Dragonov is sloppy? Nathan Fraser moves
around like a fucking bullet every time we see him
in the ring. Why would that be Dragonov's fault? Like
I say that all the time when I see Dragonov, man,
he's like a lightning bolt. If anybody has to slow down,
it's Nathan Fraser, not ill your Dragonov. So no, he's

(01:31:57):
not sloppy. Joker's voice Hail Solo. You mentioned Synthway, one
of my favorite bands of that genre. The Birthday Massacre,
Happy Halloween. Don't have to check them out. Thank you
Joker's voice. We got Super Pony. If Drew loses again,

(01:32:20):
he's just Scottish. Kevin Owens talks a big game in
the feuds, long overdue for another title run. We'll probably
never get it again. I think he will. May not
be tomorrow, but I think he will. Kevin Owens, on
the other hand, assuming he comes back, I'm less certain
about him getting one again. Rome Collector eighty four, No,

(01:32:46):
Mame's gooey. I know I'm saying that wrong. I apologize,
but he says it means no way, dude, it's slang free.
I assumed it was slang for something, yes, but I
just had no idea what it meant. And now I do.
Some Away's gotta tell me the right way to pronounce it.

(01:33:10):
Duff's VIDs. The Jericho countdown sound starts at the fifty
six fifty seven second mark, after Cody and all this
is convo, and before Alexa and Charlotte come out. Okay,
I didn't hear it, but I might not have been
paying attention to the show at that exact moment. We

(01:33:37):
got Mega X zero Forever with a ten dollars super chat.
Have you ever thought of also streaming on Twitch? Thank
you for your streams. Randomly found one day, I had
given up on wrestling until I saw a random TV
tracks that many great friends watching. Yes, I cannot tell
you how many people have told me that they first

(01:34:01):
got exposed to the show from a clip, an old
clip when the TV tracks channel used to post clips.
He was a big fan of the show. He did
that with a few different big podcasts and got a
lot of exposure that way. And people still to this day,
and we're talking twelve thirteen years ago and still to
this day tuned into the shows and the streams. So

(01:34:22):
I'm very happy to hear that. I'm very happy you
enjoy the shows. And as far as streaming on Twitch,
have I thought about it? I have thought about it.
I mean, Twitch approached me many years ago, you know,
with like a contract and an NDA, and I just
I never signed it. And you know, I don't know.
I've just I've heard stories from people who are on Twitch.

(01:34:45):
I just don't think it's worth it right now, honestly,
I don't. I think better to just focus on YouTube
right now. I can't say I won't one day. I
just I need to be able to see the benefit
in it, and right now don't. So for now it's
it's YouTube. But who knows down down the road, I

(01:35:08):
won't rule it out. And we got eight nine tech.
Are you into watches? What watch do you wear? I
know I know people who are into watches. I am
not one of those people. I'm not really big into
the watch scene. I wear an Apple Watch because I

(01:35:33):
use the Apple Watch to track certain things and when
I'm at the gym doing certain workouts, so I wear
a smart watch. So I can't really speak to some
of the you know, the classier watch brands and the
more expensive watch brands. There's some really cool looking time pieces.

(01:35:54):
I've seen some of the the watches some of my
friends have. They're very, very nice. But I'm just not
really into that scene. Sidrow, Why won't monsters eat ghosts
because they taste like sheet? Thank you, Sidro We got

(01:36:19):
a member chat twenty eight months. Oh ye look at
this be money? Who for coming off the top? Roope
says Hey, Solo, Happy Halloween, and just wondering, if you
haven't already, do you plan on watching the it? Welcome
to Dairy series on HBO Max. I had a couple

(01:36:39):
of people ask me about that. I'm not just because
I feel like I should probably watch the Newer movie,
which I have not done. I really need to get
like into the IT universe. I was never a big
IT guy so before and same thing with like the

(01:37:00):
Aliens TV show. I think it's on Hulu. I just
feel like I need to watch at least some of
the recent movies before I get into the TV show.
Same thing with the Penguin on HBO Max. I haven't
seen the patentson Batman movie yet. I know that's a
direct sort of outgrowth of the movie, So I just

(01:37:20):
want to get caught up on that stuff before I
get involved in any of the TV series if I
need to. Maybe there's no need to, but I would
rather do that first. Shout out the Dark one, one
of our new channel members number one almost safely in
thirteen months of membership, says, what did the big chimney

(01:37:46):
say to the little chimney? You're too young to smoke?
Very nice? Thank you, almost Sapien. Happy Halloween. We got
Duff's vadas. Why are mummies so stuck up? Because they're

(01:38:08):
wrapped up in themselves. They are conceited little bastards. Boots says, no, Mom, mess, way,
are you okay, Boots? Are you having a medical episode
right now? I'm a little worried about you. I'm a
little worried about Boots. He's not making any sense. Dry

(01:38:31):
Chicken says, let me tell you how Carlito can get
a lot of heat on Halloween. Brother, he gives out
apples instead of candy. I don't know. I mean if
I rang Carlito's doorbell and he gave me an apple
and I knew who it was, I'd be fucking honored.
I'd be like, shit, I'm never eating this apple, and
then it would like rot and turn brown and shit.

(01:38:52):
But like still, you know, I could say that this
apple was given to me. But can you imagine, like
somebody gets an apple years ago Carlito and just holds
onto it this whole time. They don't preserve it the
right way. Just it's like well fucking brown and shit.
Oh man, you someone would still sell it on eBay though,

(01:39:14):
for like a thousand dollars. Rome collector says, no, Mama
sounds no, oh, I see okay. Boots was trying to
phonetically spell it out for me. You got to tell
me what you're trying to do here. I'm reading his
super chat. It says like, no mom mess way. I'm like, what, okay,
no mom, no mom, no mo mess I got it?

(01:39:36):
And gouy is way boy. I was way off on
that no mom mess way got it all right? I
got it. The Juliet says happy Halloween, Happy Halloween pillow VP.
Have you watched Caddo Lake on HBO Max I would

(01:39:57):
recommend if you liked Dark. I've no heard of it before.
I love Dark. Dark Is For those who don't know,
Dark is a no pun intended, a dark German show
on Netflix. There were three seasons. That was it, and
I didn't know what to expect going into it. It
was really good. I will warn you, though, it gets

(01:40:20):
very confusing because you're talking about time travel and it
can get very confusing as far as like who's related
to who and who is this person when they were
younger now they're old. Like. Outside of that though, great show,
but I literally had to go online and look up
a gigantic. It was like the Annawayi Family. I had
to go online and look at this like fucking bloodline,

(01:40:42):
Family Tree, just to keep track of who was who.
But Dark is a great show, and do me a favor.
I mean, unless you have issues with subtitles, then I
understand it. But like, just watch it in German with
the English subtitles because you got to hear it in
their voices, like some of the dubs on Netflix. I mean,

(01:41:03):
there might be some good ones with my god, my god,
some of the dubs for these shows, these foreign language
shows are fucking awful. Hydro grad says, Happy Halloween Solo.
Which of the three Halloween movie timelines is your favorite?
The Jamie Lloyd timeline, the h two O timeline, or
the twenty eighteen timeline Jamie Lloyd, I actually like part

(01:41:28):
four and five. They're not especially five. It's not like
a great movie, but they were on earlier today actually
on AMC. I like four. I like five less, but
I like four and five. If I had to rank
the Halloween movies, I'm not gonna rank all of them
right now, but like my favorite ones. I go one, three, two, four,

(01:41:53):
and five, So basically one, two, three, four, five, but
I swap two and three. That's how I would rank
them personally, Although I will say the first one from
the trilogy in twenty eighteen that was Act. That was
a very good one too, so maybe I would rank
that one higher. But anyway, so those would be my

(01:42:17):
favorite ones. I probably would put the twenty eighteen one
higher now that I think about it. We got Levi
Latova thirteen months of channel membership. It's going on, Levi says.
Hey Solo said this on JD's channel. But I had

(01:42:39):
a rough year. My mom had passed in may you,
JD and Jesse helped me get through dark times. Thanks.
I'm very sorry to hear about your mom my condolences
on that. That's I know that feeling, and it's a
very shitty feeling. So I'm sorry to hear that. But
I'm glad that we on our respet active channels can

(01:43:01):
bring you some form of entertainment that could help take
your mind off that and take you away from that
dark place, as I know how dark that can be.
So you're very welcome, and I thank you for the support.
Venom Catetsu says, do a shot or a swig, A
shot of what? I don't have anything here, well, my

(01:43:26):
bottles are downstairs. Super Pony Halloween five is not better
than H two. Oh lol, Okay, maybe to you it's not.
I have a soft spot for those eighties movies. Now,
if you were to ask me, the mask from five

(01:43:47):
is horrendous, it's probably it's probably the worst mask in
the entire series that I would agree with. And dark one.
Have you ever watched the BBC show Doctor Who? I
have not. I have not watched Doctor Who. Man, you

(01:44:09):
guys have rocked it with the questions and the messages
and the comments. Man, you guys are awesome. And we
are approaching six hundred likes. I know we can hit
six hundred. We're like five sixty two. Let's see if
we can get to six hundred before we get out
of here. But before I get to any other messages,
they come in and get them on in here before
we get out of here. But first, it's time. Oh y,

(01:44:33):
it's time to be the booker, ladies or gentlemen, it
is now time to be the booker. Solo macho or
macho solo. I like macho solo. How about we go
with that? I like it. I like it, always thinking thinking, thinking,

(01:44:57):
all right, be the booker. Time we got a double
dose of be the booker. I know you've been waiting
with baited breath for this. Here we go. We are
going to begin. Why why look at these two schmucks. Okay,
they look like a couple of guys who are in
their Halloween costumes. Shitty Halloween costumes. Techno Team two thousand,

(01:45:27):
they will not be inducted anytime soon into the Hall
of Fame. It will be Techno Team two thousand against
the Rock and Roll Express. And you know, as much
as it pains me, because the Rock and Roll Express
one of the greatest teams of all time, even they

(01:45:49):
even they cannot save this match. I just can't do it. Yeah,
Techno teams and would be like a couple of guys
who would wrestle the Rock and Roll Express on Saturday
morning one of those enhancement matches. All right, On the

(01:46:12):
women's side, let's see, let's see if we can level
up here. Soul Ruka, how about that? Yeah, serfs up there,
she is gonna be a big star. Soul Ruka is
gonna go one on one with Alba Fire. You know,

(01:46:35):
some people may forget that Alba had hell of a
run as the nxt UK women's champion back in the day.
Now she's just a background player in the secret hervis,
but at one time she was a pretty dominant champion
in nx t UK And our first main event of

(01:46:56):
the evening, Let's see what are we gonna land on here?
Man Halloween? We gotta do good. We have the Beast,
we have brock Lesner in the main event. G I
wonder who's gonna win. We're gonna have ourselves a six

(01:47:17):
minute brock Lesnar win. Is that what we're headed for here?
Is that what we're gonna get and be the booker
brock Lesnar against Big E for the WWE Championship. Well,
that's definitely gonna be a brock Lesnar win. Well, I

(01:47:41):
for one would love to see Big E back in
the ring, and it doesn't look like that's gonna happen.
But I'm glad he's in a good place and he's healthy.
But let's not kid ourselves here. We know exactly how
this match is going to end, and he might get
more time than his boy Kofe did when he wrestled Brock,
but the end result is going to be the same,
and you know it's true. So now we move on

(01:48:08):
to round number two. Round number two, they got a
member chat here from a Clone Force game seven tomorrow,
So they are going to a game seven. How about that?
That's exciting. Oh that's gonna be up against Setow. Fuck
see I would have watched that. I hope that doesn't

(01:48:32):
eat into my audience tomorrow night Game seven tomorrow, and
I hope my Dodgers win tomorrow and Otani will play
outfield tomorrow. And uh, he'll play outfield tomorrow at right field,
and we'll also pitch. So basically you're banking at all

(01:48:54):
on Otani. Well it's not a bad person to put
your fade in, I guess, although he didn't do well
last time. All right, here we go. Well, if this
isn't appropriate for Halloween, our first match is going to
be a Mountain Dew Pitch Black match. Very appropriate. It's

(01:49:20):
gonna be the first ever Mountain Dew Pitch Black tag
team match. This has only been one and it was
a singles match. But this is going to be a
tag team match. Oh my god, it's Vere and Sanga
in Due Share. I forgot about these two. Remember when

(01:49:46):
they changed Sanga's character in NXT and he was like
he would be meditating or was he doing yoga or
some shit, but he was able to show off more
of his personality and I thought, yeah, there could be
something here. And then they just turned him back. Maybe
they called him up and then they just turned him

(01:50:06):
into this mute monster and then they just released him. Yeah,
Veer came and then he came again, and then he left.
Cody Rhodes and gold Dust in a Mountain dew pitch

(01:50:29):
black match against Indue Chare. I hate everything about this.
I'm sorry. Well, there'll be no clean sweet, but that
doesn't mean we still can't book some bangers here. We're
gonna have an exploding barbed wire death match. It's gonna

(01:50:55):
get very bloody here. I guess that means we're booking
a men's match. I'm not doing an exploding barbier death
women's match. Fucking land on Kelly Kelly or something against Maurice.
Can you imagine. Yeah, let's do Kelly Kelly and Maurice

(01:51:17):
and exploding Rosa Mendez in an exploding barbeer death match.
We have broken up poor Matt. We have broken Matt Hardy.
Has this man not suffered enough over the years, all
the bumps he's taken. Now we're gonna put him in
an exploding Barbeyer death match. Oh my god, broken Matt.

(01:51:41):
Actually that was woken Matt. Oh my god. Brock Lesnar
and Matt Hardy in an exploding barbed wire deathmatch. Just
the idea of brock Lesnar in an exploding barbeer death
match gets a bell from me. First of all, Never

(01:52:03):
in a million years I will be the world heavyweight
Champion man eventing WrestleMania before brock Alesner would ever agree
to be in a match like that. But just the
idea of it, the mere idea of it, the visual
of it is bellworthy. Boy, Brock's a busy guide tonight,

(01:52:25):
isn't he. He's worked more tonight in be the booker
than he has in the last like five years combined.
All right, well, we got one match to Ashley. I'll
tell you what I'm gonna do. We're gonna do a
little bit extra tonight because you guys have killed it.
So let's do a women's match. I'm sorry, ladies, you're

(01:52:50):
gonna be in a kennel from hell match. It's to
the dogs. I don't control where it's in the land.
Just it lands. It has a mind of its own.
It lands where it wants to Oh my god, we
have ReHO in a Kennel from Hell match. Man Riho,

(01:53:19):
She's tiny, like she could fall from the top of
the cage and be eaten by these dogs. ReHO against
Tiffany Stratton in a Kennel from Hell match. That fuck it. Actually,

(01:53:43):
you know what, Tiffany and Riho by themselves, it a
should be a pretty good match. This is the Yeah,
this is truly some Halloween booking, very scary. Now. I
said that we were gonna do a little, a little
extra here, So I'll tell you what we're gonna do.
We're gonna pick, We're gonna bring the stipulations back, all right,

(01:54:06):
and we're gonna do some some intergender action. I haven't
added it officially yet. I'm still I'm still undecided. I
don't think I'm gonna add it as a new round.
I think we're gonna save it as the occasional like
super check goal. But let's do intergender one tag and

(01:54:27):
one singles with steps. I like that. So we'll do
tag match first, and it's gonna be Oh my goodness, everybody,
take a look at what we have here. It is
Tony Khan's dream match. It is a Tony Khan dream match,

(01:54:49):
and it just so happens to be an intergender tag
team match. So here's how this is gonna work. I'm
gonna pick two women and then we're gonna pick two men.
Very simple. So on the women's side, we have Oh,

(01:55:15):
it is Ultimo Monet. It is Mercedes twelve belts. Look
at that, the TBS champion, Mercedes Monet. She's gonna win
another belt. This is for the intergender tag team titles.
She's gonna claim number thirteen tonight, isn't she? This is

(01:55:37):
perfect Mercedes. Oh, Mercedes and Julia. Now that okay, Now
that is actually a hell of a team. That is
a Tony Khan dream team. Mercedes and Julia are gonna
be a team. And now we find out who they're

(01:55:58):
gonna be fighting. Here we go. Antoni Kahan definitely booked this,
says Zachary. Who will they be wrestling for these intergender
tag team titles? We had Oh my god, oh boy,
little history there between Sammy Gavara and Mercedes. There is

(01:56:21):
a little history there between them. Sammy Guevara is in
this match. Oh boy, uh oh saboo. We got Sammy

(01:56:47):
Gavara and Saboo against Mercedes and Julia. I'm going with
Mercedes and Julia to win the titles. That's what I think.
I say. Saboo turns on Sammy guitar, That's what I
think happens here at the finish, he turns on Sammy

(01:57:10):
and then the women win the belts. That's how I'm
booking it. Mercedes gets belt number thirteen. There it is
so now we have to but now we have our
singles matched. This this is the real deal right here.
This is the real main event. We have our intergender

(01:57:31):
singles main event, and it is going to be on
a pole.

Speaker 4 (01:57:38):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
I don't know what's going to be on the pole,
but there's going to be a poll involved. Boy. I
got an update on Vince Russo this weekend of the podcast.
He's back. Oh yeah, I'm gonna talk about that on
the sound off. Well, it's on a pole, Bro, But
this is our main event of the evening. We got
to make it a good one. And gold Oh my god,
Oscar and Goldberg would be fucking amazing. That would be fantastic.

(01:58:12):
We have Molly Holly the superhero there. She is Molly
Holly who works for WWE. She actually works behind the
scenes in WWE. All right, so it's gonna be Molly Holly.
Molly's a good wrestler, Mighty Molly. That's right, she's Mighty Molly. Oh,

(01:58:34):
poor Molly. I have to see this. This would be
very entertaining. But my god, I don't care how Mighty
Molly thinks she is. She's no match for Big Popa
Pump Scott Steiner. Look at this, the big bed booty Daddy.

(01:58:56):
Sounds weird when you call another man that that name,
but that's what he called himself. Mighty Molly and Big
Papa Pump Scott Steiner. See, and now you know why
they don't allow intergender wrestling, because you may end up
with a mismatch just like that. Well that was entertaining

(01:59:17):
to think about those possibilities. There you go. You got
a healthy dose of be the booker there tonight because
you guys killed it. You guys earned that one. And
now we got some more super chats here to get through.
This is the last of the bunch here, so get
him on in. We got super Pony. Actually, no, we

(01:59:42):
got to go back. We got Alex Alex with a
five brother solo. Can you explain how close Vincent Savage
were and do you think they ever healed their friendship
before Randy passed away. My understanding is no, they did
not heal their friendship. They were very close to one point.

(02:00:04):
I mean, Savage was part of the inner circle there
in many ways, and I think he just felt really
betrayed when Savage left and went to WCW and there.
I know there's again urban legends about other things that
went on. I don't believe. So, yeah, they were. They
were very tight at one point and just they never

(02:00:27):
repaired that relationship. Dry Chicken Techno Team two thousand against
Rock and Roll Express the Zombies can be the Lumberjacks
at ringside? Oh god, remember that reminds me of that
zombie match they had. What was it? Was it the
mizz and Damian Priest? Was that the match sponsored by

(02:00:48):
that Batista Netflix zombie movie hydro Grad. Fun fact, if
you YouTube Techno Team two thousand, the first video that
pops up as a video from WWE's official channel titled
is That True? Titled Boring tag Teams Techno Team two thousand.

(02:01:10):
That's hilarious. I feel sorry for them now now that
you mentioned that we got mister Sanchez here, have you
ever been into shoes? Jordan's, Nikes, Yeezis even Oh well, yeah,
I got me a pair of Yeezy's over here. Ever

(02:01:33):
watched some of the complex sneaker shopping with WWE stars.
I'm not like big into like sneaker culture. I have
watched those complex videos. Now. They did one with Dom
and liv probably earlier this year, so and I think
Punk two. So yeah, I've seen those videos and I'm
always blown away when they go to the cash register

(02:01:55):
to check out at the end and the bill is
just like thousands of dollars. I'm like, dude, I'm still
worried the sneakers I bought like six years ago. When
they are finally run into the ground, I will buy
a new pair. I actually have two pairs. I have
that and I have a pair of Sketchers slippins. Dry

(02:02:17):
Chicken says woke in mad against brock Lesner, Chucky and
Freddy Krueger as the special commentators. Chucky and Freddy Yuh
as the special commentators with JD and Solo Monster, that
would be an interesting commentary team. Devin from New Jersey
could Solo see a WWE one day? Where Cody is
in the triple h roll running the company, and see

(02:02:39):
him punk in the HBK role running an xt. Yes,
and Cody has already expressed interest in being in that spot.
Like they've said, there's this already competition where like seth
rollins might want that spot, Cody might love that spot,
although I could see him getting into politics and retro

(02:03:00):
Koh buy rent sell on the better gaming sidekick Tails,
Luigi or Diddy Kong. God, Diddy Kong was just fucking annoying.
It's got to be Luigi. Do you ever see Luigi
in the video got the Mario Kart video where he

(02:03:23):
gives the side eye. I think he runs somebody off
the road. I'm telling you, man, Luigi has got like
a murderous streak buried deep within him. I'm buying on Luigi.
I don't really care for the other two. I found
Tails to be annoying as well. When I used to

(02:03:45):
play Sonic, I would try to race as quickly as
I could so that he couldn't catch up with me.
I would like jump into a pipe or something, And yeah,
Tails was just very annoying. Diddy Kong wasn't much better anyway,
thank you guys think you think you thank you for

(02:04:08):
all the support. Macho Monster Gonna put the heat away
until next year. Maybe we'll bring this back next year.
We'll see. But seriously, if you could see how long
these tassels are, it is ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. But
see when I put my arms out like that and

(02:04:29):
I did a little twirl before. See, Now that's that's
authentic macho man right there. All right, now, let me
get the uh. There is one thing I have to
do though I cannot. I cannot end this street. We
have someone who I know is watching, and I think
he'll be very disappointed if I don't do this. But

(02:04:51):
I do this for him. Even though I'm the macho
the macho man here tonight, Joseph. Still, I know you're
out there, brother. I appreciate all the support and all
the love on all the streams. This one's for you, buddy.
We got to bring out the Batman tonight. We got Batman,

(02:05:13):
Batman Monster here. We got a few more super chats
coming in. Actually, we got Navy forty one to eighty
one says I hated the zombie Lumberjack stuff during the
pandemic happened during the Monday Night wars. Would either company
have survived wrestling in empty buildings? I think that as

(02:05:38):
hot as wrestling was back then, yeah, they would have survived.
You know, obviously that era would not have been as
white hot as it was not even close. But I
don't think wrestling would have just died, presuming of course,
that they would have been allowed to do shows every
single week. I think they would have survived. Wrestling would

(02:05:59):
look very different though, if we didn't have that whole
era the way that we did. This might be the
wildest image. By the way, I'm looking at myself in
the macho man costume with the bandana on and a
fucking batman mask. Is this not the weirdest fucking image
that you've ever seen here on this stream? This is ridiculous.

(02:06:19):
This is actually like, I've like more of these two
