Speaker 1 (00:00):
Man, that ending. That ending was not good. That ending
was not good at all. I'll tell you what, man,
four weeks in a row, Sammy's Ain and the US
Title Open Challenge has been the highlight of SmackDown for
a month, and I actually am dreading the day that
Sammy actually loses the championship because I don't know what

(00:20):
this show is going to look like in the absence
of these matches. But holy shit, I am not looking
forward to that. Sammy's A and Javon Evans, that was
the highlight of the night they were in Orlando. Javon Evans,
of course, the twenty one year old phenom from NXT
who is wrestling at No Mercy tomorrow night. He showed
up and stepped up for the Open Challenge and had

(00:43):
a great match, a banger of a match with Sammy's Ain.
One of those matches that I think we'll look back
on years from now as the first real breakout moment
for him on the main roster, even though he's not
officially on the main roster yet. I very much enjoyed
that match. I wish I could say the same about
the main event on this show, but I cannot. I
cannot we had Tiffany Stratton, we had Jade car Gill,

(01:06):
and we had Naya Jacks for the WWE Women's Championship.
The winner would go on to meet Stephanie Viquier at
Crown Jewel because they're doing these champion versus champion matches again,
brand versus brand, and the only person in this match
that really made sense was Tiffany Stratton, even though she's
been undefeated this entire year and I'm already over this

(01:29):
run and it's not even entirely her fault. The SmackDown
Women's division sucks. There's no competition for her. It's boring.
They desperately need some new faces in this division, calling
up people, moving people over from Raw, whatever they need
to do. The division is in dire straits right now.
And Tiffany Stratton was the only name though that really

(01:51):
made sense for the match with Stephanie. You're not gonna
do Stephanie and Naya. You're not gonna do Stephanie and Jade,
because Jade's not ready to be in that spot a match,
And you know, I can't even say. I'm not gonna
say the match was terrible. I don't think the match
is as good as some of you were saying it is.
I didn't think it was a great match at all
as far as the main event goes. But it really

(02:12):
fell apart towards the end and Jade car Gilt came
up busted open because she ate the steps courtesy of
Naya Jacks. Naya Jacks threw her into the steel steps
and Jade got all of it, and she came up
and she had a gash on her face. There's blood
all over the floor, and from that moment on, the

(02:37):
entire finish of this match, the entire finishing sequence of
this match completely fell apart. And it wasn't it wasn't
just that she got busted open. That was really just
the beginning of it. But she gets busted open and
she gets back in the ring with Naya, puts Naya
down with one of her signature moves. Tiffany is supposed
to break up the fall, but she's late, so Nya
has to kick out and then Jade gets dropped. Kick

(03:01):
Tiffany covers Naia. We're supposed to get a three count,
and the referee counts one, and the referee counts two
and Nya still laying there, shoulders flat on the mat
and the referee holds up her count. I don't know
what the referee was expecting. I don't know if she
saw a ghost, I don't know, but she held up
the count. The arena went silent. Tiffany had her back

(03:23):
to her and she hears the silence of the crowd
and is like, what's going on here? And you can
see Nya look up and go what happened? And the
referee is just It's one of those moments where I
feel bad for the referee because put yourself in the
referee's position here you realize in this moment you're on
live television and you have fucked up the ending of

(03:43):
this match, right, these three women. Whatever you thought of
the match, and again I've seen much better smack Down
main events than this, But whatever you think of the match,
you never want to be in a position where you
feel like you've ruined the match, right, and you're not
even one of the combatants the match. I'm sure that
she feels really badly about what happened. It looked awful.

(04:05):
And so they sat there and they had to figure out, well,
what do we do now? And the easiest thing, right,
the path of least resistance was just have Tiffany go
up and hit her moonsalt, and that's what she did,
so she actually won with her finish and retained her championship.
But in that instance, you've got to count the three
and that was a Vince McMahon thing. I don't know

(04:26):
if that's still the policy now in WWE, where you
have to call it as a shoot. But that makes
sense because when you're in a situation like this, and
this is live TV. This is not like a house
show match or something you're on television. It's the main
event of the show. You only have so much time
left before you go off the air. I don't know
if she got lost. I don't know if there was
a miscommunication somewhere. But if you see somebody on the

(04:50):
mat and they don't kick out, that's on them. That's
not your responsibility. So as the referee, it makes a
lot of sense that you would count it as a shoot.
And if the person doesn't get their shoulder up, if
the person doesn't kick out fast enough, you blame the wrestler,
you don't blame the referee. So again, I don't know
what was going through her head. I don't know what

(05:11):
the hell happened there, but it was a batchtastic finish
to a triple threat main event. Now we know what
the Crown Jewel title matches are going to be in
Perth next month. I mentioned Sammy's ain his match with
Javon Evans was the highlight of the night. Jacob Fatu
is back, right. I'm trying to pull little positive pieces
out of the show here. Jacob FA two is back.

(05:32):
He's gonna be in a program now with Drew McIntyre,
who we have to wait and see what happens here.
I will be very surprised if it ends up with
Drew McIntyre doing a one and done program with Cody Rhodes.
It can't be one and done for Drew McIntyre. That
would be completely ridiculous. But for the time being anyway,

(05:56):
he is moving on to Jacob fa Tou. They set
things up for a future match I would assume Perth,
but future match between the two of them. So I
was happy to see Jacob back. He's been in the
Witness Protection program now for many many weeks, and beyond that.
I don't really have a whole hell of a lot
to say about this show. SmackDown for me continues to

(06:18):
be a slog to sit through every single week. You
could say that SmackDown this week was marginally better than
it was last week. Cool, SmackDown is still not a
great show. I'm still waiting for SmackDown to heat up
again like it was a year ago. There was a
period of time where SmackDown was actually the a show

(06:38):
during the week, more so than Monday Nightraw. That, of course,
is not the case right now. SmackDown, though, just feels
like a very dead show. I think of all the
WWE shows week to week, this is the one that
feels the most empty. This is the one that feels
the most dead right now. And the crowd didn't help.
Crowd in Orlando obviously was very nonplus by a lot

(06:59):
of what they saw on this show unless your name
was Javon Evans or Sammy's Ain that they were very
much into. But SmackDown for me, it just doesn't do much.
That's why I keep talking about the US Title Open
challenge of when it's over, what the fuck is this
show going to look like? It has been consistently the
highlight of the week every single week in many ways,

(07:22):
just like the John Cena US Open Challenge was ten
years ago. So when Sammy stood in the ring with
Seena a month ago and said, look, out of respect,
I want to ask your permission to bring back the
US Title Open Challenge, I said, Man, if he can
recapture even some of the magic of the one that's
seen it did ten years ago, we're in for a treat.
And it's been a huge net positive for this show

(07:45):
because there's not a whole lot else going on to
really get you excited on Friday nights. Thank God for
the US Title Open Challenge. I never thought I would
be sitting here lavishing all of this praise on an
open challenge, as if we don't get enough of those
these days. But what would we do on Fridays without it?
I don't know. I don't want to know. We'll talk
about this SmackDown show. It is Friday night, September twenty sixth,

(08:09):
twenty twenty five. I am the Solomons. Yes, Knackamora, I'm
gonna mention Nakamura. Oh my goodness, Jay is on another planet.
I see in the chat like and subscribe super chats
are open. Let me know what you thought of this
SmackDown show. Let me know if I'm right or wrong,
you chime in, we'll read your messages a little bit

(08:29):
later on. Thank you guys for all of the support
this week, Chattel members, all of our new channel members
as well. Shout out to all of you you know
who wasn't on the show tonight, Corey Graves. Corey Graves
got murdered by Brockelesner on the show last week. Michael
Cole said he's going to be gone for a couple

(08:49):
of weeks and in his place on this show tonight,
we had Booker T loaned over from NXT, so we
had Michael Cole and Booker T on the call. Booker T.
We didn't get any Devil's kisses, but Stephanie was technically
on the show tonight, so Bookers should be uh kind
of pleased with that. I'm sure he's missed Stephanie's presence

(09:11):
on NXT. So they gave us a wrestle Palooza recap.
The less set about that show, the better it is.
In the rear view after that, Paul Hayman was in
the ring. He said that he would paraphrase a pseudo
de facto secondary champion and ask, so Orlando, what do
you want to talk about. Hayman asked if we would

(09:34):
like to talk about the World heavyweight champion seth rollins.
I can answer that question, no fans chanted OTC. Hayman
says he would love to talk about Roman reigns, but
it's disrespectful to speak of the injured after he got
stretchered out of Paris, So he asked if maybe we

(09:56):
should talk about the man who will main event WrestleMania
and carry this company through the twenty thirties and possibly
even the twenty forties if we make it that far,
Bron Breaker. Hayman then turned him, by the way, how
much Bronson Reid feel after every time he makes these
comments about bron Breaker and how he's the future? Right,
Bron's the future. He's gonna headline five or ten wrestle Manias.

(10:19):
Like at some point Bronton Reid is gonna have to
turn to Hayman and go, hey, I'm standing right here,
what about me? How come I can't headline WrestleMania. Maybe
that'll be the impetus one day for him to turn
and leave the Vision because he's sick and tired of
Hayman putting over Breaker and not putting over him with
the same level of respect. I mean, the man is
standing right there. How much older is he than bron Breaker.

(10:41):
He can't be that much older. He could headline a
wrestle Conceivably, he could headline a WrestleMania himself one day.
I know it's a lot less likely, but it's at
least possible. Haman then turned his attention to the conspiracy
theories and all the rumors about brock Lesner. Before he
could go on further, Cody Roads Music cut him off
and out comes the WWEE Champion comes to the ring

(11:05):
and he asks if we've all had a chance to
watch the Wressell Paloozer recap. He said that he made
a mistake last week in calling Paul Hayman a goon.
He called Hayman the smartest man he knows, and he
would go ahead and ask the question, tell me about
brock Lesner. And then he asked for the truck to

(11:25):
show the evidence, and they threw up a still shot
from Brock's introduction that Hayman gave to him at Wressell Polooza,
and in the shot, Brock has got a big smile
on his face and Hayman's got a big smile on
his face. Cody said, he knows brock Lesner. Does that
look Does that look like the face of someone if

(11:46):
it was a one night thing? He asked, am I
talking to an oracle? Am I talking to a wise man?
Or am I talking to an advocate? Hayman said, Cody
was talking to a goat, not an elephant, not a cow,
not a zebra, not a sheep, not a monkey. He

(12:08):
was talking to a goat. And as the greatest of
all time, he respects the fact that Cody is confronting
him about brock Lesner, because Cody knows that when brock
Lesner is here, everyone is in danger. And at that moment,
bron Breaker and Bronson Reid they appeared at ringside. They
came out of the crowd into the ring, and Haymond said,

(12:28):
Lesner isn't here. But what makes Cody think he isn't
in danger right now? Cody says, he keeps hearing how
dangerous these two men are, that they're going to inherit
all of this. Breaker, He'll bet that Hayman tells him
he's a future wrestle many, a main inventor, and Reed
he probably tells you the same thing. Actually he doesn't,

(12:49):
not that we've heard on TV. I've never heard Paul
Hayman say that about Bronson Reed on TV. Maybe he
tells him that backstage. But Cody is trying to point
out that whatever he's telling you, he's probably telling you.
He's telling you what you want to hear. He's making
you sound special and making you feel like you're one

(13:09):
of one, But in reality he's saying the same thing
to the both of you. This man cannot be trusted.
You cannot take what he says seriously. And he says,
I grew up the son of a booker. I bet
he was gonna say the son of a plumber, but
that was his father said. He grew up the son
of a booker, grew up around people like Hayman. He

(13:30):
saw Vern, he saw Bill Watts as some of the
fans in the crowd, No doubt, go who Vern Troyer?
Who's he talking about? Bill Watts? Bill? What makes me sad?
It makes me sad how many people were in this
crowd tonight who probably have no idea who he was
referring to. But that's just the way it is now right,

(13:52):
That's the audience they're cultivating, especially with these ticket prices.
You think these people paying these exorbitant amounts of money
know or have a shit who Paul Bosh was. Of
course not, of course not. They don't care. They don't know,
they don't care. They just want to see Stephanie Vacier,
and they want to see Rhea Ripley, and they want
a chant for Mommy. That's what they want. That's wrestling

(14:13):
fans in twenty twenty five. But he said he saw
it all and he could always tell why they were
doing it. The vern gun is in the Bill Watts, right,
you can always tell why they were doing the things
they do. With Hayman, no one has figured him out yet.
Who is Paul Haman loyal to? One thing is for sure,

(14:34):
it ain't you. So bron Breaker got very upset and
he ripped his shirt off. So Cody took his jacket off,
he took his watch off. He says, it looks like
you boys want to fight. Huh. Probably not a good
decision of my part, but what the hell? And he
starts throwing shots. So Cody had Reid hooked for a
crossroads Breaker though took him down. So now it's two

(14:56):
on one and they're stomping him and we hear voices
in our head because here comes Randy Orton. I actually
was hoping that maybe this would be the moment that
Jacob Foughtu would come out, and maybe it would set
up a TV main event. We didn't get Jacob Fattu here.
We got him later, we got Randy ort He comes
down to the ring. Before he could even get into

(15:17):
the ring, Bronson Reid exits, tries to cut him off
in the aisleway, and Orton puts him down. Now he's
in the ring, he sets his sights on bron Breaker.
He goes for an RKO, but he gets shoved off.
But he gets shoved off right into Bronson Reid and
gives Red an RKO instead. And that was pretty much
the end of the segment. Right there, the Vision were

(15:38):
scrambling for their lives out of the ring, and it
was Orton and Cody left alone inside the ring, and
I thought maybe they were setting up a tag team
main event. Didn't occur to me that they were going
to close the show with the women. I thought, maybe
they'll you do that match at the top of the
second hour or something. But that was our main event.
We're gonna get a tag team match, I feel that way,

(16:00):
Cody and Randy against the Vision. It's not going to
be Crown Jewel obviously, but that could be a SmackDown
main event I would. I don't know about next week
or the week after, but it feels like a match
we're gonna get very soon, you know. He mentioned brock Lesner.
Fightful is saying that Brock is not due back on
TV for a while, which I'm fine with, let him
take another vacation. But it actually felt like they were

(16:22):
teasing Cody possibly defending his championship at some point in
the not too distant future against Brock Lesner, which I
don't need to see. We've already seen it. They've already
had three matches before, and Cody beat him decisively at
Summer Slammed the last time, and Brock put him over
and raised his hand. There's no need to see that again.
So hopefully him bringing up Lesner was just feeding into,

(16:47):
like he said, the conspiracy theories and the questions about
whether or not Hayman is really back with Brock or not,
and not a sign of something more that we're going
to be getting between Cody and Brock because I don't
want to see it, because we already saw it and
we don't need to see it again. Now after this
we got speaking of things that I don't need to
see again. We have the Street Profits who were back

(17:11):
on the same page, and there were no signs of
any sort of animosity or any miscommunications between them tonight
or anything like that. They put their differences aside at
least for now, and everything is cool with the Street Profits.
They were in action next. They were taking on Carmelo
Hayes and the Miz. The winners of this match would

(17:32):
be the number one contenders for the WWE tag team titles.
After a break, Miz drilled Montese Ford with a kneeling DDT.
Michael Cole brings up that on social media this week
or on social media of late, the Miz has been

(17:53):
lobbying for one last match on this retirement tour with
John Cena. We've wasted enough time, We've wasted enough of
John Cena's retirement tour. We don't need to waste more
of it. One of his last few remaining matches on
the MIZZ. So I don't know if he brought that

(18:14):
up for a reason, or if he just brought it
up because he felt like bringing it up. But let
us hope that is not one of John Cena's final matches.
Here in this retirement tour. We're getting John Cena and
aj Styles at Crown Jewel. Great. That's an old match
that I would love to see them run back. I'm
glad we're getting that match. If you were to ask

(18:37):
fifty people if you had the pen here, if you
had the pen, and you can book the remaining three matches,
four matches at most that John Cena has left on
this retirement tour, Okay, you got put your top five
names on the list. None of those fifty people would

(18:59):
have the mid in the top five. I'm sure MS
would love to wrestle John. Everyone wants to wrestle John Cena.
Everybody on that roster wants to write Joe Hendry was
lobbying to wrestle John Cena. Of course Mis wants to
wrestle John Cena. Question is does anybody want to see

(19:20):
the Miss wrestle John Cena. The answer is no, No,
they don't not at this point. Maybe if it was
January you could do a raw match. It ain't January.
It's almost October. The next time we do is SmackDown Review.
It's gonna be October. Ain't nobody want to see that match?
Hayes got the tag as he delivered a cheap shot

(19:40):
to Angelo Dawkins on the apron. Meanwhile, Montez Ford managed
to fight his way out of enemy territory. He tried
to tag in Dawkins. Mizz, though pulled Dawkins down off
the apron outside. This allowed Hayes to hit forward with
the first forty eight, and then Hayes headed up top.
He was looking for his finish. He was looking for
nothing but net. But as he's up top, the Miz

(20:04):
once again selfishly tags himself in but Ford or not Ford,
but Hayes grabs him. I think by the rest he's
holding him and Miss is like what are you doing?
You know, he looks back at him, like what are
you doing? Because Hayes is tired of this, right, He's
tired of Miz stealing the glory. So this gave the
Profits a chance to make a comeback, as Dawkins rock

(20:26):
Miz with a corkscrew elbow followed by a spinning neck
breaker and with Ford as the legal man, he took
to the skies with the big frog splash. Now Ford
had him covered. Hayes went to go crawl into the
ring and had plenty of time to break up the pin,
but he stops himself. He hesitates, he decides against it,

(20:48):
and he just watches as Montez Ford pins the Miz
and that there go their chance to challenge for the
Tag Team championships. By bye. The Street Profits are wanting
again number one contenders for the WWE Tag team titles.
Mellow don't miss. Yeah, they'll have to wait for another day.

(21:08):
That day is not today. After the match was over
the Wyatt Six, all of a sudden they appeared. They're
standing around and sitting on the announced desk outside just
watching on So yet another title match for the Street Profits,
which Michael Cole said would be coming down the line.
So even they don't know when this match is going

(21:30):
to take place, I'm sure it'll be a TV match.
It needs to be a TV match. We don't need
the Street Profit. We know how limited the real estate
is on these triple hpls. We do not need the
Street Profits in the Wyatt Six on a pl So
they could do that on SmackDown any week they want to,
so we don't know when, but we know that that
match is going to be coming. It doesn't inspire any

(21:54):
excitement for me. We weren't even supposed to get that
match in Paris, right, That was going to be Andrade
and Ray Phoenix, And because of what happened with Andrade,
they basically went with the Street Profits as a fallback.
But we got it, you know, wasn't terribly memorable. Now
we're gonna get it again. Do they circle back to

(22:15):
this idea of maybe splitting up the Street Profits where
something goes wrong in that title match and that's it,
that's the straw that breaks the camel's back and you've
got Dawkins breaking away from Ford or Ford breaking away
from Dawkins. It could still happen. You know, they were
on the best of terms tonight, But that doesn't mean
that if they lose, which they will when they wrestle

(22:36):
the y at six, that they still don't do a split.
They've been teasing it for so long now it's like,
just make a decision, either do it or don't do it,
you know, but the teases will only take you so far.
Because we've already gotten that so many times and nothing
ever comes of it. They always just patch things up
and everything goes back to normal. But at this point,

(22:58):
like the Street Profits and the why, It's it's just
not a terribly exciting match. So I have to think
if they're doing this match again, there's a reason for it,
but it doesn't necessarily mean they're winning the belts. What
else could it be. It could only be one other thing,
which is a breakup. And even if they break them up,
there's no guarantee of success for either one of these guys,

(23:21):
even though you would think someone like montes Ford is
a slam dunk, there's no guarantee. But I do think
it's probably a risk worth taking because the Street Profits
they've hit a wall. They've hit a wall. What else
is left for them to do? At this point, I'm
drawing a blank. I don't know that upward mobility that

(23:42):
you always want to have in your career. It's like
they've hit that ceiling. It can't break through. That ceiling
is rock solid. So you got to make a decision.
What do you want to do? You know, where do
you want to take these guys? But I mean as
far as Mellow and Miss, there's nothing with the story
that they're telling with these two, we got some new

(24:03):
movement at least in the direction of a split based
on how that finish went down. Obviously that's gonna cause
some issues between the two of them. The way I
would describe it, it's a perfectly competent story that they
have been telling with them on the show. And for
anybody who feels like this is the best story that
is going today on SmackDown. To me, if you honestly

(24:24):
believe that, and I'm not even sure that's really a
wrong statement, it probably is the best story going right
now on SmackDown, to me, that's an indictment. That's an
indictment on SmackDown. If this is the best storytelling that
we have right now on Friday nights, I don't look
at that as a positive. I look at that as
a negative if that's the best that they can offer

(24:45):
here on SmackDown. So, yeah, it's a perfectly competent mid
card story. But if that's the best they got, whoof
that ain't good? Now? As Jade car Gill was interviewed
backstage about the triple threat match tonight for the Women's Championship,

(25:06):
the new Women's World heavyweight champion Stephanie Vicaire showed up
and she confronted Jade, and Jade told her that a
storm would be coming her way at Crown Jewel, and
the care told her that she would be ready. We
had Julia and Keana James against Meechen and Bfab. Oh Man,

(25:31):
you know when I saw Julia in NXT, if you
would have told me that I would be reviewing a
Julia match on SmackDown once she gets called up and
she's not only is she called up, but she's the
United States champion. They put a belt on her. I'd
be like super excited right to see the ascent of Julia.

(25:51):
And here I sit and I just I don't know.
I feel defeated. I feel nothing as I watched this.
Evidently the crowd felt nothing too, because they were terribly
excited or animated watching this match. I just I feel
nothing watching this. B Fab opened by blasting Keana with

(26:12):
some strikes. She got taken down by a clothesline by Julia.
Bfab responded with a drop kick to Kana and she
tagged Mechin in. Julia then tagged in and the US
champion struck Mechin with a kick. She got met with
a Hurricane Rana and the tag got made to BFAB.
She kept Julia grounded and the champion rolled outside for

(26:33):
the retreat. Things broke down. The champion got blasted by
a drop kick off the announced desk, a shotgun dropkick
by Michin which took us into the commercial break. BFAB
was in trouble. Keana re entered the match and maintained
the upper hand. There was a missed elbow that allowed

(26:54):
BFAB to recreate or not recreated to create some separation,
and she tried to tag in Michin and she got
the tag. So Miechin dropped Keana with a DDT she used,
using Julia as a base for it. Things broke down.
Meechin hit Keana with eight defeat, but that sent her
into Julia's corner, which allowed her to tag in and

(27:16):
she flattened Meechin with the Arriva dere Chi knee followed
by a Northern Lights bomb for the wind. This was
depressingly flat. The crowd did not give a shit about
this match. It was. It was a struggle to pull
any sort of reaction. Maybe little pockets of a reaction
here and there, but it was a struggle to pull

(27:37):
a reaction out of these people. I can't blame them.
I mean the match itself was very paint by numbers, right,
I mean the right person one, but it was very
paint by number stuff. The crowd is not invested in
any of these people like you can you can watch
Raw for example, and when Rhea is out there, when
liv Morgan was on the show every week, when Stephanie's

(28:00):
out there now EO, when she's out there, like you
can tell. Even on this show, Tiffany right, still very popular.
There are certain people the crowd is very heavily invested in.
And that's also the product of them being on television
for many years and repetitions. Right, they're on the show
every single week. There's people feel like they have equity

(28:21):
in some of these characters, and so you can very
easily tell when the fans have no connection and no
investment whatsoever in somebody on the show. They have no
investment in Julia even though she's been the United States
champion for a few months. They have no investment in
Keana James, they have no investment in Meechin, they have

(28:41):
no investment in Befat. Because of that, you end up
with a match like this, which just feels very flat,
and there was nothing they did in this match that
was necessarily wrong. There was nothing in this match that
was also going to really change any of that. It
was a match, and you would suspect that it might

(29:02):
lead to a title match between Julian Mitchen, you know again,
even though Julia beat them, I mean, she won the match.
I'm not sure why we need to, you know, continue
this other than the fact that there's nobody else. And
so when I've said before that this women's division is
in dire straits right now on SmackDown, this is what
I'm talking about, this division, and this just highlighted it

(29:24):
right here. They desperately need to call up some new
faces or move some faces over from Monday Night. But
they desperately need to call up some new faces. And
funny enough, in the very next segment that came after
this match, we had Zaria and soul Ruka from NXT
who confronted Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss who were in

(29:46):
the back, and Zaria was very disrespectful towards the tag
team champions, but they wanted next. They demanded a shot
of the women's tag team titles, and it was Alexa
Bliss who told them to get in line and earn
it first, and Charlotte was very impressed that the way
that Alexa told them off. But that was the segment,

(30:08):
so they set that match up. But sol Ruca, sol
Ruka is gonna be a big star in that women's
division on Raw or SmackDown, you know where she needs
to be SmackDown. SmackDown could use soul Ruca a lot
right now. Frankly, you could put soul Ruka and Zaria
on the main roster, but sol Ruka in particular, And
then there's other people from NXT who don't really need

(30:29):
to spend that much more time in NXT, Blake Monroe,
Jordan Grace. You take two or three names and maybe
just dump them all, frankly on SmackDown. That's how badly
the women's division on SmackDown could use these people, and
I think it would make all the difference in the world.
But it's going to take time yet, Like if they

(30:49):
called bunch of people up next week, they're not all
going to be over on day one. I mean, sol Ruka,
I don't think it's going to take too long for
her to get over with that soul snatcher in the
way that Java On Evans was able to kind of
grab the crowd by the throat tonight. We'll get to
him in a minute. But even if they call people
up next week, some of these women, it will take
time to get that crowd investment in them. That just

(31:13):
is not there yet for Julia, because they just really
haven't given people a reason to get behind some of
these women. And now Julie is a heel, obviously, so
when I say get invested in them, get invested in
them as a heel or a babyface. When you're invested
in someone, you're reacting to them, you're cheering them, you're
booing them, you're chanting. You know, fuck you, Julia, fuck you.

(31:36):
You know there's an investment there. The people are expending energy,
they're bringing signs, they're starting chance, they're invested. There's none
of that here. There's nothing to get excited about. There's
no interesting, compelling matches that we could sit here in
fantasy book right now for the SmackDown women's division, not one,

(31:57):
not one that has to change. You can put a
belt on Julia if you want to. You can call
her a champion. She's got a cool entrance. It's not
gonna matter if she doesn't have somebody. The Batman to
the Joker right used that analogy a lot. She's the champion.
She needs a great challenger to be programmed with and

(32:22):
to be working with. Who is that person gonna be.
It's not gonna be Michen, It's not gonna be Befab.
Who's that person gonna be. That person doesn't exist right now,
And as long as that person doesn't exist, Julia is fucked.
She's stuck. She needs someone. She needs that person to

(32:42):
work with, or this US title reign is going to
go down the drain. It's already halfway down the bowl.
Call some people up, hit the panic button and get
some new people on this show. Please, for the love
of God, save this division. Drew McIntyre was out to

(33:05):
the ring next. He had his foot in a walking boot,
the one that he injured at the end of the
match with Cody of Wressell Palooza. McIntyre said that Orlando
held a special place in his heart. It's where he
made his WWE return in twenty seventeen. It's where he
won his second WWE championship in front of a bunch
of screens. Boy, he really can't let that go. He

(33:29):
really can't let that's He's been crowing about this for
years now about his title run being in front of
a bunch of screens inside the Thunderdome. I mean, look,
I sympathize with the guy, but brother, you gotta let
it go at some point. I mean, you had your
shot at Wressell Palooza and you kick the table and
you lost. That's on you. But he said that he

(33:53):
should have been here tonight as the new WWE champion
were it not for the referee, he might have been
were it not for the referee getting in the way.
At Wressell Palooza, he said it took the referee six
seconds at one point to count a pinfall, and then
he pointed out the referee getting in his path outside
the ring when he went to go give Cody another

(34:14):
claim wore a kick through the side of the announced desk.
Never the referee, he jumped out of the ring. He
got in the way. No, no, no, you can't do that,
even though what's so illegal about it? And I think
Drew even pointed out in this promo, like throwing Cody
into the ring steps not a disqualification, but here he
wants to disqualify me. That should be my choice. What

(34:34):
are you getting in my way for? But he said,
you know what, he forgives referee Ryan Tran because he
has a family to feed. So instead he blames Cody Rhodes.
Nick all this comes out, SmackDown general manager. He comes
out on stage and all of this sudd You know,
I saw some things from your perspective, You're not totally

(34:54):
wrong in what you're saying. But he told him not
to make excuses because you're better than that. He saw
Mac and Tire kicked the announced table at Russell Balooza.
He also said McIntyre didn't get that walking boot from
WWE medical, and then McIntyre went on a rant, oh yeah,
WWE medical, may as well. I got it from my
own medical. I should have gotten it maybe from Cody's medical.

(35:18):
So Alda said the referee's decision was final and that's
that and he left. That was it. He left. McIntyre
continued to complain until he was interrupted by Jacob Fatu's music,
and I was like, holy shit, they found him. Finally,
what was once lost has now been found. It's about

(35:41):
damn time. Fat two headed to the ring. He took
the mic from McIntyre. He told him, man, shut your
ass up. He said, McIntyre comes out and complains every
week and blames everybody else. He told him to sit
his peg leg ass down. McIntyre took the mic back
and said Fat two had a great run over the
last year. But he drew McIntyre and he started to

(36:03):
say what he was going to do to him if
he wasn't hurt. Fat two took the mic and said
McIntyre must have forgotten. He's all gas and no brakes. No, actually,
if Solo Socoa is correct, he's all gas and no brains.
I have to give Solo credit that that line has
stuck with me. It was actually a great line. McIntyre

(36:26):
hit Fat two with the Glasgow kiss. Fa Tu sold
it for a moment. Then he turned and he super
kicked MacIntyre. Fa Tu ripped the walking boot off of
McIntyre's foot and hit him over the head with it.
Michael Cole said Fa two had the guts to say
things to McIntyre that a lot of people have wanted
to tell him, and Fat two had a jersey. I
think he had a jersey on. I don't remember, but

(36:48):
he ripped it off. He had a shirt on and
it was backwards. I love how his shirts are always
on backwards. I don't know why. I guess that's his thing.
He put it on backwards. I'm here for a McIntyre
FA two match. I would be very surprised if McIntyre

(37:08):
and Cody ends up being a one and done. Obviously,
it was never gonna happen at Crown Jewel because they
have to do the Champion against Champion stuff. But I
think Survivor Series you got to run it back in
some form or fashion. Not only did you do Cody
and Drew Wreussell Paluza, potentially making it a one and done,

(37:29):
but the way it ended, Drew beat himself because he
kicked the desk. He kicked the desk and injured himself.
He want to go give him a Claymore kick in
the ring after that, and he collapsed under the weight
of his own foot. The man beat himself. And now
we're just gonna move on because it's time to do

(37:50):
Crown Jewel and it's gonna be Cody and Seth. Okay, great,
that's October. But there's a pay per view in November
called Survivor Series, and you could do Cody, and you
could do Cody, Drew and Randy and make it a
triple threat because Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre have issues
as well. I actually liked that idea more. There's so
many different ways that you could go with that. And

(38:12):
we heard a report this week, I think it was
bodyslam dot Net that Cody and Drew themselves had pitched
an alternate finish to their match at Wressell Palooza or
Randy Orton would have accidentally cost Cody Rhoads the WWE
Championship and it would have led to Cody having to
chase Drew to get the belt back and then getting
it back and then after that pulling the trigger and

(38:34):
Randy Yorton then turns heel on Cody Roads. I think
that's a great fucking idea. And just because they didn't
do it at Wrussell Polouza doesn't mean they still can't
do it. They can there's still time and Survivor Series,
you do a triple threat match. Guess what Randy Orton
could accidentally cost Cody the match? You could do some
variation of that finish, and Trew McIntyre could leave Survivor

(38:56):
Series the WWE champion, even if Cody just gets the
bell back at the Rumble in Saudi okay, or elimination
Chamber okay. So what's so wrong about that? This show
is in dire need of a shakeup in many ways,
Like I said, shake up the women's division, get some
new faces in there. I look at the top of
the card right now. John Sen is done with SmackDown.

(39:17):
Brock Lesnier, We're not going to see him for a
while on SmackDown. Roman Rains is really not on SmackDown anyway.
I mean, Roman Rains is on whatever show they want
him to be on. So you look at the top
of the cards. You have Cody, you have Randy, right,
you have Drew, I guess, although now he's sort of
moved down a peg and there's not a whole lot

(39:37):
else going on at the very top of the card
on SmackDown. Right now, they got the MFTs. So Cody
is the champion. Drew is still talking about being screwed
out of the championship. Randy Orton's running around going after
Drew do a triple threat match and do a title change.
There's no harm in taking the title of Cody and

(39:57):
making him chase to get it back two or three
more months later. There's so many different stories that you
could tell with him and Randy and how that might
branch off. Do it. Stop playing it safe? Do it?
He plays it safe too much. I'm not saying play
hot potato with every belt and change it every other month,

(40:17):
But my God, don't be afraid to shake things up
a little bit. I don't know what they're so fucking
petrified of. This week's episode is sponsored by Green Chef.
Summer is over and that means fall is upon us,
my favorite season, mainly because Halloween is my favorite holiday,

main event. Stephanie Vquier showed up and was sizing up
her potential challenger at Crown Jewel, just like she did

(43:09):
with Jade earlier. Stephanie said that she would be watching
the triple threaten. Maybe they'll meet at Crown Jewel and
Stratton said that she respects Stephanie, but if they meet
in the ring, it will end with Tiffany becoming the
Crown Jewel Champion. We'll see, said Stephanie. Now elsewhere in
the back, Sammy's Ain was chatting with Ray Phoenix, who

(43:31):
I guess just showed up to the show to hang
out in catering and now he's having a conversation here
with Sammy's Ain And he asked, Sammy, who do you
think is going to answer your open He botched the line.
He had one line, He had one line. He fucked
it up. I forgot what he said. He said, like,
who do you think challenge you? Or will challenge it? Whatever?

(43:52):
He bungled the one line he was supposed to be
asking him, who do you think is going to accept
the open challenge, and Sammy said, I don't know, you know,
it could be anybody, could be somebody from Raw, could
be somebody from SmackDown. He goes, hey, we're in Orlando,
teasing that maybe it might even be somebody from NXT.
As he was talking, Shinsky Nakamura was in the background,

(44:13):
lurking in the shadows as Sammy was talking. Not the
first time that that has happened on SmackDown in the
last few weeks. I would love to sit here and
pretend that I am as excited to see Sammy zaying
against Shinsky Nakimore as I was in twenty sixteen in

(44:35):
Dallas when I was third row ringside at NXT Takeover
and I saw one of the best live matches I've
ever seen. I would love to still be sitting here
nine years later and have that same enthusiasm. But I can't.
I can't because the Shinsky Nakamoora that I saw that
night is not the same Shinsky Nakamora that we see today.
And I'm not just saying because he's nine years older.

(44:57):
That's true, but so is Sammy. Samby's still going out
there having banger matches. There's a lot of reasons why
I no longer feel that way about Shinsky Knockamore, so
I can't get excited over it. I do wonder if
that's the Crown Jewel match, if they were going to
have a US Title Open Challenge matchic Crown Jewel, I
think in front of that crowd in Perth, they might

(45:19):
be able to turn it into something special. But you know,
that last US title run that Shinsky had, if you
could even call it a run as the US Champion,
was just fucking garbage. I have no interest in seeing
him challenging or winning the US title. It's the last
thing I want to see. But Sammy's am was out

(45:42):
for his United States Championship Open Challenge and accepting the
Open challenge was Javan Evans, the young upstart from NXT.
Twenty four hours before his match with Josh Briggs at
No Mercy to Tomorrow night. The two of them locked

(46:02):
up to start. Evans dodged Sammy before he got tossed
around with arm drags from the champion in the corner.
Evans delivered a chop to the chest, then he backed off.
In response, Sammy got in some chops of his own.
Evans answered with a springboard clothesline followed by a leaping
rana off the top rope, and then Javan sent Sammy
to the outside. He was looking like he was about

(46:24):
to take flight. Sammy dough put a stop to that
with a hard lariat that took us into the commercial break.
We came back with Sammy having Evans on the ropes
with a chop and the challenger fought out of it.
He threw Sammy outside and then connected on a soaring
dive out over the top rope. Inside. Evans countered a
blue thunderbomb attempt and answered with a springboard in Saguri.

(46:46):
Sammy tried for a diving move off the top. Evans
ran up the ropes though then delivered an avalanche hurricane
rona and this looked great even just leaping up into
the air for the hurricanana like he got mega height
on this thing. And so he pulled Sammy off that
top rope and Sammy took a hell of a bump.

(47:07):
He took a halluva bump, you might say, in the
corner Evans, and by the way, that nearly won him
the title, but not quite. In the corner. Evans tried
to run at Sammy, he got caught with an exploder suplex.
A Halluva kick attempt was thwarted by a drop kick
right on the button by Evans. Another attempt at a

(47:28):
Halluva kick was again countered, Evans dodged it at the
last second. This left Sammy stunned and Evans connected with
an og cutter for a great near fall. This thing
again was a fucking just thing of beauty, and the
crowd again super invested in this, hanging on to every
near fall chanting this is awesome. They were fully invested

(47:49):
in this match. Evans headed to the apron for a springboard.
He miscalculated, though, and he ended up in the corner.
After a roll through. Sammy immediately made him pay. As
he turned around, he ate a Halluva kick and Sammy
followed that with a blue thunderbomb for the Wind to
retain the championship. After the match was over, Sammy congratulated

(48:10):
the kid. He is still a kid twenty one years old.
I mean by w w E standard, look at look
at the fucking roster. Most of the top names on
the roster or at least forty five. I feel like
forty two forty five forty eight. So by those standards, yes,
he's a kid, even though he is a grown adult.

(48:32):
But when you compare to the other people on this roster,
it's okay to call him a kid. But he got
the fans to cheer for him. I don't think Sammy
needed to work too hard to get the people to
do that. I think they were cheering for him anyway.
Let me just say that Halluva kick into a Blue
thunderbomb at the finish there. That needs to be a
permanent thing going forward. I love the idea that the

(48:55):
Halluva kick is the immediate setup to the blue thunderbomb
and that being finish. I really hope that becomes a
thing with Sammy going forward. This was a hell of
a match. That's now four straight weeks. He did it
with Sina, he did it with Mellow, he had that
great match with Ray Phoenix. Here tonight with Javon Evans.

(49:17):
This US title Open challenge has been the highlight of
the night on this show, and this was also a
nice follow up to the little interaction that these two
had backstage at the NXT homecoming show when Sammy gave
Evans a little pep talk in the back. So that
was was that a week ago, two weeks ago, So
this was a nice little follow up to that. Evans

(49:39):
as a prospect, obviously, the company has very high hopes
for him. Michael Cole on commentary during this match, actually
said he's a future WWE champion. I'm not going to
sit here and tell you that he's a future WWE
champion just yet. Does he have the potential to be
that big? He has the potential. Absolutely. He's still only
twenty one years old, which is pretty incredible when you

(50:02):
consider the body of work. He's already put together an
NXT and he's had the chance to work with a
bunch of different people, wrestled Randy Orton right that he
was the handpicked opponent for Randy Orton when Randy Orton
wrestled on that one episode of NXT in Saint Louis
last year. He had that program with Ethan Page, he
had that great match with Oba Femei not that long ago.

(50:25):
So he's very very impressive. When you watch him in
the ring. There are certain people like they get good
hangtime on some of their offense. You know, montez Ford.
We saw him on this show with the frog splash
and we know the hangtime he gets on that. But
you watched Evon Evans and he just he makes it
look effortless, you know, when he's flying around or god,

(50:48):
what was it the match with Oba where he took
that just ridiculous bump. He did this dive out over
the top rope and I think he cleared the announced
desk and he crashed and burned. It was just a
hillacious bump. But he just the way he flies around
the ring, and when he comes off with that og cutter,
it looks it looks great. You know, there's a smoothness

(51:10):
to his offense. So he's a lot of fun to watch.
And he's still very young, and he's only going to
grow and get better and you know, cut more promos
and just sharpen his skills. I mean, that's why he's
in NXT right now. And it's too soon to call
him up to the main roster. I mean, let him
cook for a little bit more down there. There's plenty
of other people on the NXT roster right now that

(51:32):
are ready for a call up. When they're ready to
call them up, you know, Javon Evans I think has
to win the NXT Championship first, before I would even
think about calling him up. But he's been one of
the success stories of the Performance Center, so this was
great stuff. When Sammy finally loses that title, this show
is going to be in some real trouble, seriously, unless

(51:53):
they really shake things up a little bit when he
drops that championship and we don't get these open challenge
matches anymore. I shuddered to think what this show is
going to look like. In the back, Nya Jax was
walking when Chelsea Green and Alba Fire showed up. Chelsea
offered her a spot in her Secret Hervice because they're

(52:17):
down a member. For those who don't know, Piper Niven
is injured and Piper Niven has a neck injury, and
apparently it's a pretty serious neck injury, and they are
in the process of deciding how this neck injury is
going to be treated, whether it's going to be surgery
or rehab. But we're not going to be seeing Piper

(52:37):
Niven for a while, so we need a new agent,
I guess. In the Secret Hervis Nya Jax was not
interested in joining the Secret hervist, so the paper that
they handed her she tore them up. She walked away
and she ran into Stephanie Vicaire and Stephanie wished her
good luck. Nia says that she could drop her right now,

(52:59):
but she would rather wait for crown jewel. Elsewhere in
the back, Damian Priest came upon Kit Wilson of Pretty Deadly,
the same guy that he put through a wall on
last week's show. That's why Kit Wilson was in a
wheelchair and he's sitting there. I mean again, I love
the idea that this man is sitting in a wheelchair.
They flew him into work. This man was injured on

(53:21):
the job, thrown through a wall. He's in a wheelchair.
You got to come to work. You can't wrestle, but
you got to come to work. And we'll just sit
you in a little corner in the backstage area and
you could sit there just ranting about toxic masculinity. This
is what Damian Priest came upon in the back. So

(53:44):
Priest is he's being told, you know you're toxic. You're toxic.
So Priest starts to sort of menace him like he's
about to do something to him, and we got some
comedy here. Kit Wilson, he had gotten up. He went
to go turn to run away. He did a pratt fall. Haha,
it's funny. He did a pratt fall, and then Priest

(54:06):
tells him bitches be tripping. Then we hear a voice.
It's Alistair Black, the man the Priest is actually looking for,
and Damien turns around right into a Black mass. Kick
down goes Damian Priest. Black says that he and Priest
might do this until only one man is left standing,
and then he wishes Priest a happy birthday in a

(54:29):
very sarcastic way. Well, gee, I wonder what that means.
The stipulation of their next match is going to be Gee,
I wonder what kind of match could it possibly be?
It is Damian Priest's birthday, by the way, Happy birthday,
Damian Priest, forty three years old. Today. They closed the

(54:50):
show with the triple Threat match for the WWE Women's Championship.
It was Tiffany Stratton defending against Naya Jacks and Jade Cargill.
The match started off with Naya throwing Tiffany into Jade.
The champion struck back with a double dropkick to both
women and they went to a commercial break. We were
a minute into this match, and they went to a
commercial break. They came back with Tiffany flying out on

(55:13):
Tenaya with a suicide dive that did not land well
because her legs hit the ropes on the way out. Thankfully,
she didn't land on her head like she did when
she hit that moon salt outside the ring a couple
weeks ago and looked like she can cussed herself. I
don't know if she actually can cussed herself or they
were worried that she did, but that's why we didn't

(55:36):
see her wrestle at Wressell Palooza. Later in the match,
Stratton headed to the top rope. She hit swanton bomb
on Tanaya, but immediately got put down by a super
kick from Jade, which ended up actually making her fall
backwards on top of Naya. She had her pin, but
Nya kicked out. As Nya kicked out, we got yet

(55:58):
another commercial break. Jade and Tiffany. They teamed up to
deliver a double superplex to Nya off the ropes, and
when Nia is still recovering it, Stratton took Cargil down
with her rolling sent on, but then she connected on
the prettiest moonsalt ever to Nya, who was still down.
Jade had moved out of the way. Otherwise both women

(56:18):
would have eaten the moon salt, so she was able
to avoid it. Jade easily was able to break up
the pen attempt. Stratton countered Cargill's power bomb into a
Hurrican Rana, and as Tiffany ran towards Jade in the corner,
she got caught. She was promptly dropped with a modified Jaded.
She got a one, she got a two. Nia comes

(56:39):
over and saved the match by pulling the referee out
of the ring at the very last second. Outside the ring.
Now Jade is angry, and Jade is outside the ring.
She clears off the announced desk, but she got thrown
into the steel steps by Nia. And when I tell
you that Jade Cargill ate the stairs, she ate the stairs.

(57:02):
And this is where she came up very badly busted open.
And this is where the finish of this match. The
finishing sequence of this match totally fell apart from this
point on. And I can make a joke about Naya
Jacks injuring somebody. I will say, though that we have
not heard any stories about that recently. That was certainly

(57:24):
a storyline of her last run in the company. I
think she's been on her best behavior over the last
year year and a half. We don't hear too many
stories about Naya Jacks, you know, injuring people, and she's
had some really good TV matches, so it's been a
while since we've heard about Naya hurting somebody in the ring.
But it was almost as if she was making up
for lost time here, because it wasn't just that Jade

(57:46):
got hurt. She was badly busted open. She had like
a fucking gash right above her eyebrow, blood pouring out
on the floor everywhere, and she didn't notice it at first,
But when she finally noticed that, she smiled and she
looked over at Booker T and the announcers and made
a comment to go about how I made her bleed.
And so Nya was She cleared off the top part

(58:09):
of the steps, so we had the flat part and
she was gonna do some sort of souplex from the steps.
Jade countered by getting her on her shoulders and she
dropped her with a samoan drop on the flat part
of the ring steps. Jade was then shown, I mean
the camera was right up in her face. They didn't
shy away from this. That's how you could see how

(58:29):
bad the cut was. And then they had more of
a wide shot with the hardcam. The referee was checking
on the cut and the match kind of stalled out
here for about I don't know, ten fifteen seconds in
the ring, Nya got dropped by an eye of the
storm from Jade, which is one of her signature moves.
So Jade had the match won and she's sitting on

(58:52):
top of Naya. Tiffany Stratton was supposed to break up
the pin. Tiffany was late. You could even see, I
think naive and looked over and could tell she wasn't
gonna make it in time. So Nya was not supposed
to kick out on her own, but she had no choice, right,
you got improvise, So she kicked out. And as soon
as she kicked out, now Tiffany comes in with a dropkick,

(59:14):
and she dropped kicks Jade and then she covers Nya.
She was going to steal the pin to retain the title,
so she covers Naya and the referee Daphne Lashawn. She
drops down, she counts one, and she counts two and
then she pulls up her count, and I'm watching Naya.

(59:34):
Her shoulders are down, Tiffany's got the leg hooked. Nobody interfear,
nobody grabbed the referee. Jade is Jade's I don't know
where Jade is. Jade's drowning at a pool of her
own blood. She just held up the count. I don't
know what happened. I don't know if she was of
the impression that there was another spot coming, she got confused,

(59:56):
whatever the case was. The wrestler's sure working use. The
crowd was confused, the announcers were confused. I was confused,
and she, I'm sure, felt like total shit as the
wrestlers are looking at her, going what happened? I don't know.
The phantom kickout from Naya Jacks, I mean this, you

(01:00:21):
could just hear the crowd it was. It was so awful.
The air just got sucked out of this crowd. It's
like the finish and again, I don't want to make
it sound like this was the only botch of the match,
Like this whole finishing sequence was just botchtastic. It's like
the finishing sequence of the match was already sick, and

(01:00:42):
then this spot here, the phantom kickout just killed it dead.
That was just the death blow that put it out
of its misery. So now what do we do right, Well,
the easiest thing to do just tell Nia to stay
down and have Tiffany go up and hit her moonsalt
her actual finish. That's what she did. She went up top,

(01:01:04):
she hit the prettiest Moonsalt ever and she got the
three counts to retain the title, which was the right outcome.
Would have been the right outcome even if the referee
had counted it like a shoot, because again Tiffany would
have won, but it was the right outcome. There was
no other match with Stephanie at Crown Jewel. I mean
that made sense. Stephanie and Jade, that would not have

(01:01:25):
been the right move to make. Putting the title on
Jade right now was not the right move to make.
Putting the title on Nya would have been worse because
she hasn't They only just brought her back to TV
recently just to throw her back into the championship picture.
Nobody wants to see that. So this was the correct
move to make as far as the outcome of the match.

(01:01:45):
And after the match was over, Stephanie Thecaer made her
way down to the ring to get a better look
at her opponent at Crown Jewel, and they each held
up their respective championships. But again, I gotta be honest
with you, I didn't think this match was all that
great even before the finishing sequence. I'm not saying it
was trash or anything like that, but it wasn't that good,

(01:02:07):
and finishing sequences made it so much worse. It just
completely fell apart one after another after another, you know,
from Jane being busted open the way that she was,
Tiffany being laid on, breaking up that second to last spot,
and then of course the mother of all spots in
this match, the actual supposed finish and whatever the hell

(01:02:28):
happened there, and I mean that was pretty much the
end of that. So it ended things on a sour note.
But I can't sit here and tell you, man, this
was a great match that was ruined by the referee.
It was not a great match, and then it was ruined.
It was a solid match that was ruined there at
the very end. So the Crown Jewel title matches are

(01:02:50):
now set. We know it's Seth and Cody, we know
it's Stephanie and Tiffany and do we have any other
matches that are can Oh? Well, yes, CNN, AJ John,
which is the match I'm looking forward to on that show? John,
Cena and AJ styles. Cody and Seth will also be
a really good match if their past matches or any indication.
Stephanie and Tiffany should be should be good, should be

(01:03:14):
good to me? You never know. I don't know that
they've worked together. Have they worked together before? I don't know.
But the Crown Jewel card is incomplete, but already it's
shaping up to be better than Wreussell Palooza. We'll see
how the rest of the card shapes up. But yeah,
this this episode of SmackDown again, it had its moments

(01:03:37):
when it was over, though, I just I'm not sitting
here going, man, what a great SmackDown. I could sit
here and tell you that it was better than last
week's show, But you know, again, I feel like I'm
heaping faint praise on this show. SmackDown is greatly lagging
behind Raw. This show needs a shot of adrenaline in
its soul. Cody. Cody's trying, man, He's trying with the

(01:04:01):
with the adrenaline in his soul. That's not enough. We
need we need some soul on this show. All right,
we need some soul, Ruca, That's what we need. What
did you think of SmackDown from Orlando? Forty percent give
this show a thumbs up, twenty nine point six percent
give the show a thumbs in the middle, and thirty
percent give the show a thumbs down. So forty up

(01:04:23):
thirty down so far for SmackDown from Orlando. SmackDown from
Orlando is in the books. Let's go through your superchats.

(01:04:44):
See what you guys thought. The Arizona Zombie says he
voted thumbs in the middle on this show, and Nobi says,
remember solo wwe can't go over five matches on the PLA.
I know, I know, they get fined by the f
if they go over five matches. That's the rule. That's

(01:05:07):
the new rule that's been instituted. You go over five matches,
you get penalized. We got death sithe who says, hear
me out. What if LA Knight keeps losing until he

(01:05:29):
beats John Cena in his retirement match, which could finally
launch l A. Knight into the stratosphere. I mean that
sounds really interesting, but no, no, that's not happening. Victor says,

(01:05:51):
SmackDown really needs Bianca bell airbag. Yes, yes it does.
And sadly, even just getting Beyonce is not enough. But
Bianca would be a nice shot in the arm for
that women's division, for sure. He says, buy sell, rent
Undertaker from the nineties, the two thousands or the twenty tens,

(01:06:12):
Undertaker from the nineties. Undertaker from the nineties and then
the two thousands and then the twenty tens is dead last.
Is Cody now Roman's greatest rival or is it someone else?
I feel like I've talked about this before. I feel

(01:06:33):
like it's got to be either Brock or Seth. So no,
it is not Cody. And Victor says, buy or sell
Wrestler of two thousand, Rock or Triple H. Yeah, it's
tough because the company was really carried by the two
of them in the year two thousand. I hate to

(01:06:54):
give much more credit to one over the other because
they were both very Triple H was the chief antagonist
that year. You know, every great baby face needs a
great heel to work with. You know, Rock was great,
but Rock needed Triple H to be that foil and
Triple H was in his best form in two thousand

(01:07:18):
in two thousand and one until he got hurt. But
again he needed that pun intended. He needed that rock
solid baby face to work with, and Rock was that guy.
If I had to go for one over the other.
As far as the wrestler of two thousand, I gotta
go Rock. We got Holiday one ninety seven. Hey solo

(01:07:46):
considering AJ Styles announced that he will retire next year.
The John Cena versus AJ Styles match a Crown Jewel
will be a kind of double Swan song. Here's hoping
we get Gunther against aj a Wrestlemans. Yeah, I mean
that's what I said last night. That's you know on TNTs.
That should be the match of WrestleMania if they get

(01:08:07):
him to WrestleMania, because I think his contract is up
before then, but if they could extend him out and
get him one last WrestleMania match, I love the idea
of Gunther being that guy. That's a match we've not gotten.

(01:08:28):
That's I thought. Of all the news this week, the
one that had me in stitches was Kevin Nash having
a certain reduction surgery. I guess he's no longer called
Big Sexy you know, there are some people who don't.
I'm not saying it's you, but there are some people
who don't get his sense of humor. Like I saw

(01:08:52):
that being reported this week as if it were legitimate news.
In some places. There was some face the facebook pages
of the worst in these bullshit facebook pages that pop up,
and they're reporting it as like actual news. Death Side says,
But in all seriousness, I'm glad he's okay, yes, And

(01:09:14):
I'm glad you could take a joke. I'm like some
people online who, like I said, took that a little
too seriously. Uh. We got Jeremy Wattley. Thank you for
the five Jeremy. I hope you're having a good Friday night.
Kind Of bummed. Jasmine Nicks is leaving. She is green
but had a good upside. But respect to her standing

(01:09:36):
up for herself from being allegedly low balled. Yeah, I
mean Jasmin Nicks was just kind of the third wheel
of fatal influence to me. You know, she maybe she
had potential. I mean, WWE is not really losing much
by her leaving, but good for her. I mean, she

(01:09:57):
felt like she was given a contract off her and
the money wasn't what she thought it should be. Then,
as with any job, you walk away, you walk away. However,
it is worth pointing out that if she were ever
called up to the main roster, supposedly the minimum salary

(01:10:19):
of a WWE main roster performed. No matter how low
you are on the card, you can be a KIROTOSAUA.
You're making a minimum three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
a year. So if she was worried about not making
money at a certain level, you know, if they were
to call up Fatal Influence as a group, she would

(01:10:40):
have been part of that, then her salary would have
been bumped, but there was no indication that that was
going to happen anytime soon. I don't know what her
financial situation is. So good for her. You feel like
you are worth more than what you're being offered, then
you take your services and go somewhere else. So she

(01:11:01):
can go wrestle somewhere else. Or she could start in
only fans like everybody else does. She could start an
only fans and probably be a millionaire within two months.
I'd probably do the same thing. I'm gonna start a
solo monster OnlyFans. Then I could retire, then I don't
have to watch smack Down anymore. Death side. So the

(01:11:26):
story behind Sina Styles of Crown Jewel is because they
have been drowning in an Atlantic sized swimming pool of
bad creative? Is a retirement or oh you mean the
company bad creative. They're trying to make the fans feel

(01:11:48):
like they actually were able to will the match into existence,
which is very cute, even though the fans had nothing
to do with any of this. Holliday says, I'll take
Naya winning the women's US title over Julia's reign. At
least the title will have a more established name holding it.

(01:12:09):
It could free Julia up to maybe feud with some
bigger names, like who who is she gonna feud with?
They've done nothing with her, They've done nothing. Who would
she be feuding with at the top of the car
that anybody would care about. The whole point is that
they have not gotten the crowd invested in Juliet. It's

(01:12:29):
not a matter of she has to work with big names.
She should at some point, but whoever she works with,
you just got to come up with a good story
and somebody that when you ring the bell, they could
go out there and have really good matches, because Julie
is a really good wrestler, so she has to be
able to work with somebody that she can show her

(01:12:49):
skills in the ring with. But there has to be
a good story. There has to be something there to
grab you. And you don't have to be Charlotte Flair.
You don't have to be you know, Tiffany Stratton for that.
There's no indication they have any anything like that lined
up for her right now. You know what, Honestly, you

(01:13:14):
might just be better off doing that putting the title
on someone like Naya. At least Nina knows how to
get heat. Not Q Marris prediction. They bring Vince back
for a story and after a week it gets canned
quicker than the fake death because he's named in the

(01:13:35):
Epstein Files. That certainly is a fantasy scenario that will
never ever happen. Broley says, how is it fair to
Julia and Tiffany that they are wrestling literal bots every
week while Raw has eo Rhea, Becky Lyra, Kyrie Oscar

(01:13:56):
Roxanne lives that. I mean it's just per day. I
say it every week like I'm not lying. I mean
it's the imbalance is just striking. Where are we? We're
still about what fifty likes? Do I fifty for be

(01:14:18):
the booker not looking good. We actually got it for
Dynamite this week, may not get it for SmackDown though.
Death Site says here's a match they could do for
WrestleMania forty two, Ria an Eo against the Kabuki Warriors
against Charlotte and Alexa for the women's tag team titles.

(01:14:41):
I mean it's too early to be booking some of
these women in a WrestleMania match. I mean I could
see Ria in a singles match against Stephanie. I can
see Ria in a singles match against any number of people.
Solo's favorite Siko. Are you looking forward to Collision tomorrow?
Me too, I know you are. I'll tell you what

(01:15:03):
I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to you looking
forward to watching Collision. Enjoy the show. Mactubb thoughts on
Taker kicking Matt ruining the show? Are you talking about
Undertaker's podcast? I don't give a shit. I don't watch it,

(01:15:24):
so I don't give a shit. It's Undertaker. I mean
it is what it is. It's Undertaker taking the money
and wanting his show under the WWE banner, so he
replaced his good friend with his wife. I mean it's
pretty obvious what happened there, but personally me, I could

(01:15:46):
not possibly care any less. Boots look at Boots, Oh
my god, look at Boots man coming in with a
fifty dollars bomb. He says. I noticed MLLL was having
a live show last night on YouTube, so I tune
in and they are having a cross promotion with Pokemon.

(01:16:08):
Seeing a packed crowd with Pokemon masks gave me the
hebgb's So I slowly backed away and I closed the channel.
I mean, at least they weren't all sitting there in
the crowd wearing those masks like from the movie Eyes

(01:16:29):
Wide Shut, and that would have been a little freakier
to me. Mactub I agree with Brett on Triple H
except that he never had a good match. Part said

(01:16:51):
he's like an edge orton level talent push like Hogan
cause of his wife thoughts. Yeah, I mean again, Brett's
got his opinion on Triple H. He's entitled to it.
He doesn't like him, He's never liked him. A lot
of it has to do with Montreal in ninety seven
in his role in all that and him paling around

(01:17:14):
with somebody who at the time he didn't care for.
But I always say, I've said it for years that
Triple H was the guy who worked with the guy.
You know, he was never the guy himself. And when
they tried to push him as the guy, which at
times he might have been pushed as like the top star,
but he was never the top star. Those periods of

(01:17:36):
time were fleeting because he was never going to be
that person. I think Triple H is a very good talent.
I don't see Triple H as an elite level talent.
By elite, I mean like if you were to make
a Mount Rushmore of talent and I hate using the
fucking Mount Rushmore shit, but if you were going to
make a Mount Rushmore and expand Mount Rushmore out to

(01:17:57):
five or six people instead of four, he's still not
on there. He's one level below that. Mikey s thirteen
after the promo last week, is it's safe to say
that Togaloa is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble
Togaloa finishing. You'll notice I ignored the MFT segment tonight

(01:18:20):
because I don't care, but yes, he says after the
promo last week, is it safe to say that Togaloa
is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble? Togaloa finishing
his story will feed families. It will, it will, and
unfortunately it will give those families food poisoning and they

(01:18:42):
will all die. Randy Bobandy, thank you Randy for the
twenty dollars super chat. Been a while since I sent
a super chat, so I returned with a question favorite
Seinfeld recurring side character. Frank is hilarious, but for me,
Putty is the best. Frank Costanzo man, He's a tough

(01:19:05):
one to top. I might have to go with Frank, honestly,
but then you got Newman though, like Newman was great too.
It's got to be Frank or Newman. I don't know.
I think I might. I might have to. I don't know,
I might have to go with Newman. Actually. As far

(01:19:29):
as like recurring side characters, so again, we're not talking
about like one offs, you know, like the soup Nazi
or oh god, the uh the salesman guy who went
who went cuckoock? What was his name? That doesn't matter?

(01:19:54):
Dev to dust buy or sell or rent, what is
your favorite Mets team of the twenty first century? Two
thousand and six Mets, twenty fifteen Mets, for twenty twenty
four Mets. I mean, none of them won the championships,
so it's kind of a pointless question. Last year's team

(01:20:15):
was a lot of fun to follow, though, especially with
the OMG stuff. Last last year's team really did feel
like this this was gonna be the year. But that's
what they do, man. They make you, they lull you in,
and they they let you down in the end, time

(01:20:35):
after time after time. But I would buy on the
thin gold buy on twenty twenty four and then rent
on twenty fifteen, Sell on two thousand and six. Wressell
Votes noted that Jade getting busted open made them change

(01:20:58):
the finish and for them to call the spots on
the fly, which led to the confusion. Well, my point
still stands, though, I mean even more so, frankly, if
that's the case, because if you're the referee and you're
not even really sure what's going on, which, by the way,
is just a really difficult position for a referee to

(01:21:22):
be put in on the spot like that. But if
that's the case, the only thing you could do is
count it as if it's a real fight, you count
it as a shoot, and it's on the wrestlers to
do their job. And if they're supposed to get a
shoulder up, if they're supposed to kick out, that's on them.
As the referee. All you can do in a situation

(01:21:42):
like that is just counted as a shoot. So I
don't know. I don't know why she held up, but
that's a tough spot to be in. Broley also says
Jordan Blake sold and send Lyra and Bailey to SmackDown.

(01:22:07):
That's fine. I have no issue with that. Drew McIntyre's
new gimmick is Brett Hart nineteen ninety seven. Uh oh,
we know how that ended. His triple H going to
be out there for his match at Survivor Series this
year when he wrestles Cody and Randy. His Triple H's

(01:22:29):
going to be ringing the bell Ragnarok. I have no
interest in watching Cody and Seth hold these titles until
WrestleMania Get Knight, Drew punkin AJ. Some runs AJ, especially
before he retires. Yeah, the best you could hope for
with AJ is maybe maybe Intercontinental. He's not he's not

(01:22:55):
going any higher than that. But yeah, I mean, I
said this the other night. I'm sure they're going to
return to Seth and Punk at some point and do
at least one more match between them. I'm done, Like,
I'm over it. I have no interest in it at
this point. Like they've been feuding for two years now,

(01:23:16):
enough's enough, you know. I mean again, there's a difference
between long term storytelling and taking your time and letting
some stories cook over a period of time. And then
there's whatever Triple H does, which is he feels like
he's Martin Scorsese and we tell the best stories, and
so we're going to take our time with all these stories,

(01:23:37):
and oh this is so great. We have to really
drag this out for as long as possible. But then
he drags it out for so long that by the
time he gets to the end of it, nobody cares.
That's the risk you run, right, I mean, not everything
can be the Cody finishing his story thing with the
Bloodline a wrestle India forty and I feel like he's
staked his reputation on that one story, and I'm struggling

(01:24:02):
to find something else that I could point to that
was anywhere near as good as that. But he just
drags things out, drags him out, drags him out, plays
it safe. Here we are now Punkin' punkin Rollins, you know,
still feuding. They brought the wives in, which added a
little bit of a different element to it. I'm done
with punkin Rollins. That's it. Move them on to other people.

(01:24:23):
I don't want to see this again. Let Seth work
with somebody else, Let punk work with other people. Enough
of this enough that side says, fuck it. I wouldn't
mind seeing Cody Drew Orton fought to in a fatal
four way for the WWE Championship and FA two can
just run wild in the match like a Samoan Bulldozer.

(01:24:45):
He just kills them all. Just let them loose. Holliday
says they could have Grayson Waller answer Sammy's Ain's US
Title Open challenge on the SmackDown before a Crown Jewel,
but it would be a stretch for Grayson to win
the title in front of no Grayson Waller should not
be winning the US title. You want to have him

(01:25:06):
answer the open challenge in Australia on TV, fine, I
wouldn't even do it. At Crown Jewel. You want to
do it on TV, that's fine. The idea of him
winning the championship, they could be on fucking Mars for all.
I cared like that would be awful. You don't have
him be the one to beat Sammy's aim from the
US title. Broley says, reminder that BFAB is making main

(01:25:33):
roster money. B FAB stuck it out, b FAB pulling
in the pulling in the uh the money there again,
minimum three point fifty, Assuming that's where she's at. I'm
sure she's not complaining. Uh Duff's viz. When do you

(01:25:56):
take a banana to the doctors and it's not peeling? Well? Man,
I first glanced at that, I thought that said something different.
I thought I said they're not peeing well. I would say, yeah,
those bananas should go to the doctor and get their
prostates checked. They have pills for that. Mactub better overall

(01:26:22):
performer Austin versus Rock Well, I mean they're two different
types of performers. One's more of a brawler. I mean
Rock also is kind of a brawler. Austin in his
earlier years was more of a technician than the injury.
He had to changes in ring style. But they're both
very entertaining, just in very different ways. I know, I

(01:26:45):
like them equally. I think they both bring different qualities
to the table. You know, I can't rank them on
the spot. Duff's VIDs says, if money doesn't grow on trees,
then why do banks have branches. It's a good question.

(01:27:05):
I don't really have a good answer for that one.
I think duffs makes a very good point. Mister all Day,
AJ all Day. Mister AJ all Day says, here's an idea, solo,
have Julia lose the US title to a big name

(01:27:26):
face like a Bianca, so that you can boost the
title like Becky boosted the IC title. Sadly, Bianca is
also needed in the main event mix. I mean, if
you want to elevate the United States Championship to the
same level as the IC title, then that's what they're
going to have to do. That's why I said, you

(01:27:48):
know what, whoever it was before, I don't if it
was Broley or who it was, but mentioned putting the
US title on Nya Jacks. You would think that that's
something I would be vehemently against, but honestly, it might
not be for the US title for the sake of
the title. It might not be the worst idea, It
really wouldn't. I just don't see how that title is

(01:28:11):
benefiting Julia. I mean, she she holding it right now
is not benefiting the US title. But the US title
is not benefiting her because it was never established in
the first place. That's the problem. So you're better off
having somebody with a big enough name that they could
help elevate the prestige of the title which was never

(01:28:32):
elevated in the first place. And maybe it's not Nigh,
and maybe it's some other bigger name that people are
invested in, but it's pretty clear to me at this
point that it's just not happening. With Julia being in
the situation that she's in, it's just not going to change.

(01:28:54):
Duffvid says, why should you never fight a dinosaur? You'll
get your ask kicked. Thank you, duffs jurass kicked. We're
up to three ninety on the likes. Nick Grosso says

(01:29:17):
Dana Brook forfeited the TNA Knockouts title and gave a
speech that sounded like she was retiring. Says hope she's okay. Also,
Kelanie Jordan won the TNA Knockouts title. Well, I guess

(01:29:37):
I don't have to watch it now, thanks Nick. Yeah,
I mean hopefully she's okay. I mean, you know, Dana
brook Is, the Knockouts champion was certainly a choice, not
the best choice, but hopefully on a personal level, hopefully
everything's okay. If she forfeited the title, that's sounds like

(01:30:00):
an injury, so hopefully it's nothing too serious. Death sithe.
I bet if Steve Blackman hadn't gotten injured in the
brawl for all, he would have won, and then he
would have killed an eaten butter bean at wrestlemany of fifteen.

(01:30:23):
Oh yeah, he would have. If anybody could do it,
it's him, Mystic j forty four, buy or sell who
was the better horror villain this year? Remick from Sinners
or Gladys from Weapons. I gotta go Remick. I gotta
go Remick Arabian nine two thousand. I bet Julia regrets

(01:30:45):
signing with WWE. She's very wrestling focused. I think AW
would have been the better fit stylistically. Even Tekla is
in a better spot. You know what, You're not wrong?
Isn't a better spot? Tecla's actually wrestling matches and she's

(01:31:05):
in this grudge feud with Queen Amanada. She was just
in the four way it all out for the Women's
World Championship. You know what, You're not wrong. No, whether
or not Julia would you know, agree with that, I
don't know. I don't know if she's disappointed with how
things are going, if if she's just sort of caught

(01:31:26):
up in the glitz and glamour of WWE. Like Mariah May,
it was always her dream to work for WWE. I
don't know if it was Julia's dream. So I mean,
I can't get in the woman's head. And no for sure,
but Techla's doing okay right now? Uh duff Svid's what

(01:31:48):
is a pilot's favorite flavor? Plane? Plane? Thank you us.
We are currently at four hundred and fourteen likes. Thank

(01:32:11):
you very much. Let's be the booker, ladies and gentlemen,
it is now time to be the booker. All right,
here we go. I'm gonna try to book a better
show than SmackDown tonight. Wish me luck. It's a little
unfair because I have access to all these legends, some

(01:32:32):
of whom are no longer with us. But I'm gonna
try to book a better card. Let's see how I do.
I've already booked a better card. We have The Heart Foundation,
Bret the Hitman Heart and Jim the Anvil Night Heart.
There you go. I've already I don't even know who
the opponents are going to be, and I've already booked
a better card than SmackDown tonight. Oh my goodness, gracious,

(01:32:57):
oh my. The Heart Foundation against the British Bulldogs. You
want a tag team match, there's your tag team match. Now.
You tell me, are you gonna watch the Street Profits
against Mellow don't, miz, Or you're gonna watch the Heart
Foundation against the British Bulldogs. Don't answer that. It's a
rhetorical question. I already know the answer. You're welcome. Look

(01:33:23):
at all the bells. I haven't seen this many bells
since Christmas. Look at all the bells in the chat.
The Heart Foundation against the British Bulldogs. Now on the
women's side, we have Cora Jade, who is not even
wrestling anymore. She's another one who I think is a
millionaire now off of her only fans, she is the

(01:33:46):
only fans champion. Or is that still Mandy Act? She's
probably still Mandy Rose Cora Jade against Mayu Ewatani. Mayu
Ewatani is wrestling Eo Sky on The Marigold Show on

(01:34:11):
October twenty sixth. Get ready Eo against Mayu an OnlyFans match? Alright,
main event? How about this, We'll make this the only
fans match. Don't blame me, He's the one who said it.
This is gonna be our only fans match. Here we go,

(01:34:36):
will Ospray in an OnlyFans match. This is what you
people ask for. Will Ospray in the main event in
an only fans match against Damian Priest. Well, I mean,

(01:35:00):
I'm not a fan of the stipulation, but will Osprey
against Damian Priest is a fine main event. And that
right there is a clean sweep. Looks like we only
get one round tonight, but at least we made it
a good one. No no, no, no no, it's a note

(01:35:21):
with the women. No. Somebody in the chat said an
OnlyFans match, and I was already choosing for the main event.
So that was your main event. Mac Tubb says, why
did Brett and Sean not excel as the top guys?
I think they excelled just fine. I don't know what

(01:35:43):
criteria you're judging that off. They're both in the Hall
of Fame, they both held multiple World championships, and as
a bleak as business was at times during the New
Generation era, it would have been far worse if they
didn't have a Brett Hart and a Shawn Michaels at
the top of the car. If all they had was
Diesel and the Undertaker in SID, then they would have

(01:36:03):
been in far worse shape. But if you're comparing them
to the likes of a Hulk Hogan, I don't even
think I really need to answer that. It should be
pretty clear why that was. And as far as your
Taker's podcast one, I didn't miss it. You missed it.

(01:36:24):
You gotta go back and check it out. I read
it before it was on screen. Was that on a
pl stream or one of the weekly shows? Are you
talking about the Hogan Versus Hogan? Somebody asked about Hogan
versus Hogan, the mirror match and be the booker. I
think we did that. It might have actually happened more
than once. But as far as what stream it was, chief,

(01:36:47):
I have no idea. I have no clue that happened
a while ago. I think was Hollywood Hogan. Was it
Hollywood Hogan against Hollywood Hogan or Hollywood Hogan against Red
and Yellow Hogan. I can't remember. Corey says, we're still
talking about Brett and Sean thirty years later. They're still over. Yeah.

(01:37:08):
I think they did actually quite well for themselves. We
got Brett versus Brett in be the booker. Oh we did,
didn't we. He doesn't get any better than that. I
think we had Kurt Angle against Kurt Angle once as well.

(01:37:31):
Hey Markel, a great stream Lol, Thank you Markel. I
hope you're feeling better. Thank you, Markel. We also had
a member chat earlier from Reekinson celebrating forty six months

(01:37:52):
of membership. What a show live tonight. Definitely better than
Raw from Tampa. Sorry about your Mets. Well, they're a
sorry team, so it kind of makes sense. That's right.
Reacinsent is a he's he's Florida man, So whenever they're

(01:38:16):
in Florida for these shows, I always wonder if he's
at the shows. We've had several be the bookers with
EO against EO. It's another fine match. Well, we'll see,
I guess on Monday if we hit the goal. We

(01:38:37):
do be the booker again. Maybe we'll do another mirror match.
Maybe we'll do EO against EO. We'll do Ria against Rhea.
You never know what it's going to land on. It's
totally random. It's totally random. Bash says, my cubs are

(01:39:01):
doing good. Well good. I hope it all works out
for you. I have no hate for the Cubs, only
the Phillies. I hope you do well. Oscar's newest video
on her channel just uploaded. It's great. Oh that's the

(01:39:26):
Kana Chen channel. I think I'm subscribed. I'll have to
check that out. She's got good stuff on that channel.
Shout out to Olivia, Olivia, fan of the chat. I
love this show. I love you too, Olivia. I hope

(01:39:47):
you have a good weekend. I hope everybody has a
good weekend. It's gonna be a great Sunday because we
have episode nine thirty one of the sound Off. All right,
I will see you guys on Monday night for the
raw post show. You well, stay safe. Thank you for
spending part of your Friday night with me. Check out
episode nine thirty one of the sound Off coming up

(01:40:10):
later in the afternoon on Sunday until then take care guys.
