(00:00):
Yappa Pie number one, number two. That's over with now. An XT

(00:28):
had its first strap match last week, part one of the Great American Bash.
We also had a w first partof Fighter Fest. I know this
is a very different kind of introduction. I usually say, hey, guys,

off a little different Today. It'syour boy spin along with Mutt Hop bringing

(00:56):
you episode one hundred twelve of STTG. Hope everyone's doing okay. Beginning of
July. Where does the time go? We are halfway through twenty twenty,
thank god. Hopefully it just doesnot go the way the first six months
went. But you know it's probablygoing to. But at the same time,

(01:17):
as long as we get to bitchabout it and get to entertain your
ear drums, I guess it's notso bad. So we are on Twitter
at Gimmypod. We're on Facebook atFacebook dot com slash Stick to the Gimmick.
I'm on Twitter at Spinney Rasslin.He is on Twitter at Martin David
Harp, Marty what's going on?It's like ninety eight degrees outside? Yeah,

(01:41):
nothing, It's it's hot. It'sreally hot, spicy out I had.
I am not an air conditioned guyin the car. I like natural
air. But damn, dude,it's a scorcher out there. It's a
scorching out there. Where you parkyour car. Is it parked under the
under a tree in aid or itwas not? It was not. It

(02:01):
was You can you can survive notputting airn in your car if it's parked
in the shade, but if youget in your car and it's been in
the sun, like forget about ayes, yeah dude. Like I was,
I've been hanging out playing uh theLast of US two. I'm playing
that and one the game never fuckingends. I'm like twenty four hours into

(02:23):
it and then ships just keep itjust fucking going and going. Um.
But I'm just sitting here. I'mlike, God, damn, it's hot.
And I was like, I rememberlooking at like next week and it's
supposed to be like ninety next week. I did not know it was supposed
to be ninety today. That cameout of nowhere. Yeah, yeah,
and yeah, it's it's it's ahot one. It's funny for us Ohioans,
there's like no in between, Likeyou go from you go from like

(02:46):
winter to like you have two weeksof spring and then bam, here you
are in summer. But this likeninety degree period last for maybe three,
maybe four weeks. I don't thinkit usually gets this toasty and August,
Oh it does for sure. Well, yeah, I guess so, ye,
give or take, you have betweenthree to six weeks of this and

(03:07):
then you just kind of immediately goright back in the fall. It's an
interesting it's an interesting place to liveif you don't live in Ohio and you're
not used to weather being as fluctuatingas it is. Like we had like
rain right away first, and thennow it's all of this ninety degrees sunny
and all that stuff. It's aperfect time to get your car washed.

(03:27):
If you have time to get yourcar washed, do it now because it's
not gonna rain for like another week. So I would advise to do that.
I don't know how we always getinto weather around here, but you
know, sometimes it just enters yourmind and you're looking outside and you're like,
damn, I stepped outside for likeone second and I was frying.
Yeah, I know. I gottawalk the rents up to the leasing office

(03:51):
and that's gonna be bring a bottleof water. Yeah, it's gonna be
like a walk through the Sahara,the Sahara. Okay, um, let's
get started here an XT great AmericanBash. Let's start out just even with
the main event. Everyone was veryexcited about this. I didn't find out
about it until I watched Raw EoSharai versus Sasha Banks something that it's awesome

(04:17):
because it's like a clash between pastthe present of NXT. And I looked
at Marty last week too, likeor whenever that match was. I think
it was the tag team women's matchwith SHOTSI Antiguan against them and Eo came
out and it was like, Yo, what's up? Bitch is an NXT
Except she didn't say that, butI was. I told Marty, I

(04:41):
was like, what if this islike, you know, leading to a
storyline where like Sasha is trying tochallenge for the NXT Championship or Bailey or
something like that, because Bailey alreadyhad to you know, she's Bailey Doze
straps. We found out that Sashais in the Raw title picture now and
she's gonna be facing uh Osca atExtreme Rules. The horror show. By

(05:01):
the way, we can make funof that, the entire entire and I
mean entire episode, because my god, how corny um is it called the
horror Show? It's called Extreme Rulesthe Horror Show. Are you fucking serious?
That's what I said. That's whatI said on Twitter. I said,
I said the emoji with like thethe not amused face. I was

(05:24):
like, you gotta be fucking kiddingme. What's with them putting like subtitles
underneath all their pay per views?Now the greatest wrestling match ever, the
horror Show? What's next? What'sthe next paper view? Yapapie. No,
I think it's Summer Slam, isn'tit? Summer Fest? Is it?
Because Extreme Rules happens like a weekfrom Sunday. Yeah, it would

(05:46):
be. That would be it wouldhave to be Summer Fest, yeah,
which means it'll be like Summer Slam, the too hot to handle. Yeah,
like Summer Slam, the fucking SummerBash, or I don't know,
be something fucking dumb. Lord knowsVince wants fans there though, so yeah
yeah, uh but but anyways,EO versus Sasha thought this was a really

(06:13):
good one. I got scared likehell when EO. Well, no,
this wasn't even EO's fault. Thiswas just Sasha taking a neck bump of
some sort. I'm trying to thinkabout what it was she Sasha, I'm
taking neck bumps? What's more iconic, dude, I swear to god,
I don't think it was like evensupposed to be like the way she she

(06:33):
took it too. But I thoughtthe way that Sasha sold the Hurricane Rhna
off of the off of the turnbucklewas really nice. Um. EO.
I again, EO is probably thebest thing they have in the ring in
NXT right now. I have no, you know, arguments against that.

(06:55):
I at least I don't think so. Um. Just as far as sheer
ability goes, I love you knowwhat I love about her moon salt,
And I've already said this before thatlike looks like Leedas or whatever. But
her her opponents lay on their backsmost of the time when she delivers it,
which makes it more devastating because ifyou think about it is going directly
into the spine instead of the ribs. So that's a nice finish that she

(07:18):
has. The surprise actually caught mea little off guard. I didn't think
they were going to do this,but they had Bailey try to get involved
and um, you know, distractEO. So I don't nowhere underneath the
ring, Oscar came out and youknow, took out Bailey and then did

(07:40):
the green mist into Sasha's face,which allowed EO to capitalize. I think
she hit like a some sort oftiger suplex and then she did the the
the moon salt. So here's thething I have about this. I like
it because they protect Sasha and theystill look make EO look strong because EO
had the odds against her anyways withSasha and Bailey, so they just kind

(08:03):
of had that equalizer. And notonly that, but they continued their storyline
between Osca and Sasha going towards extremerules. So I'm completely fine with it.
I know people don't like wonky,but I mean, Sasha and Bailey
are like literally the w A rightnow. They've turned into the Charlotte because
Charlotte's away. Sasha and Bailey havebeen on every show, but they're crushing

(08:24):
it right now, So I haveno problem with this. EO still gets
the wind, but Sasha doesn't looklike a fool, so I like it.
Yeah. I mean I didn't thinkthat there was any like, no
one was hurt by it. Butfor me, the best part of it
was usually when someone gets the greenmiss, it's like, wow, how
does the ref not see that?They hid Sasha's face the whole time.

(08:46):
It was great. Yeah, andwhen EO took the cover, she like
put her leg over her face,so it made a little bit more sense
instead of because the ref after waslike what the hell. Yeah, they
actually did a really good job withthat, not making it like Okay,
how do you not see that?M Yeah. No, I liked it,
and I thought it was a prettysolid main event. I think there

(09:07):
was like just like one minor botch, but uh, I believe that EO
had what was it? Um?Eo had a really nice cross face that
she got in there on a counter. I forget what the counter was.
There was a power bomb to theguardrail too, that was really yeah.
Yeah, yeah yeah when they theyturned it into a tope. I wonder
if they wanted to do that inone full motion. When when EO was

(09:28):
coming through the ropes and tried topower bomb Sasha, Um, I wonder
if they wanted to do that inone full motion and then then realized they
couldn't do it, but it stilllooked really good and it was against the
plex glass. Uh did Sasha hitSasha hit the bank statement or no?
I can no. I don't thinkso I can't remember. But really good
match, solid Maine event, perfectcap to the first night of Great American

(09:50):
Bashuh, Marty's wanted to talk aboutthis, So let's start with the beginning
of the show. We had thefatal So you texted me when you were
watching this and you were like,solid opening match. What the fuck were
you watching? I liked it.I'm telling you that match was sloppy and
not good until it was only Tiguanin Dakoda. Well that's what I meant.

(10:11):
When it got down to Tea andDakota, I thought that Candice looked
good off the rip, so thatokay. So this is the fatal four
away number one contenter's match turned intoan elimination before the night started, so
Candice I was very confused about thatbecause I didn't know. And there was
a when Mia pin pinned Candice andTiguan was just sitting there. I was
like, what are you doing?And then like she pinned her and I

(10:33):
was like, oh, okay,it didn't know it. That's great.
Yeah, exactly. See, theyoutsmarted you because you didn't know. You
didn't do your research. So Candicecame out had offense right off the bat,
you know, looked solid. Um. You know, MIA's always same
thing, same, it never changesfor me. Um. I thought she

(10:56):
had she had a couple of niceTiger drivers. I'll give her that,
UM, but still just that samelethargic pace that I didn't I can't get
into um. But she ended upgoing over on Candice. H How did
Mia get eliminated? It was Dakotaright, yeah, okay, yeah,
Dakota, which she hit, whichthey kept saying it was like it was

(11:18):
a miscommunication. I was like,what were they communicating? I don't talking
about. But here's the cool part. When it gets down to Tea and
Knox and Dakota Kai, it gotlegit. I liked it. I think
Tigan's favorite move I have is thethe cannonball in the corner. But it's
a cent on. That's a reallyunique move, Um because everyone has the

(11:39):
cannonball, well like at least anyonethat does that corner move has the cannonball.
She does it opposite. She takesher her back into the opponent instead
of, um, you know,the somersault type of thing. Um.
I enjoyed this a lot. Ithink that those two have a really good
chemistry. I'm surprised they went theroute that they did. Dude, when

(12:00):
Dakota hits that over the top backstabber thing, uh, that's probably my
favorite move that she has in thebag. Um. You know, like
we're her original, well, hersecond finisher that they had, and now
she has a different finisher. Butum. Oh, and Dakota's new submission
is nasty too. Um it's likesome octopus looking thing. But it was.

(12:24):
It was really good um between thosetwo, and like Marty said,
it wasn't great to start. Ithink I specifically remember Mia doing a toepe
through the ropes again to get nobodylike it. Like she literally went running
through the ropes and no one wasthere, like yeah, really I can't
just like moved out of the way, and I was like, what was
the point of that? Okay,yeah, it was literally like just ran

(12:46):
out of the ring. Yeah.I don't know what that was about.
But when it got down to Teganand Dakota, I thought it was good.
I thought it was solid, andum, I think those are clearly
you're you're not number ones and numbertwo at the moment um. But dude,
Tigan gets the you know, getsthe pin. They uh did a

(13:07):
false finish on Dakota. What wasit, Um, did she counter the
Shining Wizard or Tigan missed the ShiningWizard and then Dakota got a roll up
or something. I don't know.Dakota hit that sunset flip backbreaker, which
I was talking about. That's themove I was talking about, like that
should be your finish. That's sucha nice move. I don't think you
were listening, but I literally wastalking about that for him. Well,

(13:30):
I was reading Kyrie say is leavingthe WW. I was reading about that.
What yeah, oh sorry, Idude, sorry, I thought that
you said EO. I was like, what, no, ye oh that's
not that's not surprising. But anyways, Um Tigan ends up getting the number

(13:52):
one contender ship solid, you know, to take on EO Sharai down the
line. Whenever that is, Um, Dakota, I bet you is next
in line. I don't think Tigan'sgonna win, but I think they're gonna
let Tigan go out there and work. Now that she's you know, fully
healthy and you know, been onTV for a few months now, or

(14:15):
probably more than a few months,I should say, I think that they're
gonna, you know, let themshow out, even though I was gonna
win. But Marty, why don'tyou tell our audience what you texted me
about Tiguan Knox and her facial expressions. All right, So I was watching
a nexte it like what it waslike a midnight last night, and literally
the we I got on Tony Stormbecause when she was wrestling, she used

(14:39):
to make the like opera mask faces, the like very sad like. It's
just literally the opera mask face isall I can think of. Um.
But Tigan when she's wrestling, doeslike a surprised face the entire time,
and all I can think of asurprised Pikachu. And it's like literally,
any move that happens where there's likea kick out or something, she's just
like, she looks like she's inshock. And it's like, just look

(15:03):
up a picture of a surprise Pikachuand then watch a Russell and you'll see
the resemblance. It's ridiculous. Thewhole match. That's it. You can
retweet that thing from NXT on itbecause there's like three faces honestly, and
the one on the one tweet whereit says her face says it all was
there. I didn't even see.Yeah, it's just on the NXT Twitter

(15:24):
account. But Tigan, that's thenext one up against EO. Let's go
to one of my one of theones that they announced like very late that
I thought was awesome just because oflike the very comparable styles even though they're
different. Ony Lorcan Timothy Thatcher.The intensity, that's what I wanted,

(15:48):
that's what I got. I wasliterally on Twitter. I was just like,
give me all the open palm strikesto the freaking jaw, like those
are my favorite type of back andforth. We're dudes are just knocking the
hell out of each other. Onycame in with a you know a few
of his you know, rapid Europeanuppercuts. But Thatcher, he's more of

(16:10):
a ground based guy. But thetransitions he has into submissions are very good,
and if you can tell by hisfacial expressions, he's a freaking psychopath.
I like that. Once he gotthe win with the fujiwar armbar he
continued, and he like pulled itup, so it made it look like
he was like, I don't know, I say, breaking his arm,

(16:32):
but like dislocating it. But thenhis like eyes got real wide. And
when the dude has like two teeth, he looks like insane. So consider
me in with Timothy Thatcher right now, and good for Ony getting a one
on one opportunity. We haven't seenhim in one on one competition in a
while. Anything that that. Ithink I fell asleep during this match.

(16:55):
How I was tired, but Ilike I watched most of it. Our
remember most of it. Um itwas good. And I was thinking while
I was watching this, I wantto fatal four away between those two Drew
Goolock and Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryanyep, absolutely, Maybe Matt Riddle and
that too thought a good match,but well that's what I was thinking.
That fourth person was like, itcould be Matt Rydel, it could be
Daniel Bryan, I really don't care. But mostly, um, true,

(17:21):
it's those catch wrestlers, those physicalguys like dude. I mean, like
I didn't know much about Thatcher comingin. Uh so it's taken me a
little while to like get used tolike him, but like he his transitions
are just seamless. He'll go fromlike an armbar into somehow getting into like
a half Boston crab like. He'llgo from you know, like some choke

(17:44):
hold over like into like he'll likefloat over. Um. Yeah, I
love his belly to belly by theway too. His belly to belly um
is a lot different than a lotof guys um off the Irish whip he
has. He's a good moves setthere, so solid solid uh underslash mid
card match there. I liked thata lot. Uh. You want to

(18:07):
talk about the uh the comedic uhhandicap match Robert Stone Aliyah slash nude against
Ria Ripley And this actually probably wentthe way that you didn't expect it to
go because you thought that Rio wasgonna hit rock bottom. But they made
strong, Yeah they did. Theymade her look strong, which also they

(18:30):
she had that submission on both ofthem, and I I can't see how
that submission is effective with one armholding two people. I mean, your
ankle could be going a couple ofways. Maybe your bones are right wing
against each other. I guess Ifeel like you're not getting the full Torque.
I feel like, you're definitely not. You're definitely not. But it
looked cool. Yeah, you needto give him that. It looked cool.

(18:52):
I mean not a good match byany means. It was a comedy
match. So I was just happyto see Robert Stone in there. I
want to see Robert Stone wrestle.Yeah, that's Robbie E. That's t
NA baby. But uh, Aliyah, I mean that was like her first
I mean it's not considered a payper view, but like her first pay
per view match, so good forher. Um. But yeah, they

(19:15):
made Riha look super strong. That'sgood because I think a lot of people
thought she was gonna get like buried, buried buried um in. Yeah,
So I don't know one of thoseI don't know where Robert Stone and Elia
is going because they were saying ontocommentary or like, is the Robert Stone
brand could even be in business afterthis? So I don't know where that
star storyline's going. But um,it was still just good to see him

(19:37):
in the ring. And because hehasn't ever gotten in the ring. Um,
let's talk about the last match andthen we'll talk talk about some stuff
for next week. So we hadthe strap match yap yapapie number one.
Um, this okay, So youasked, you said, is it gonna
be the traditional four corners or isit gonna be pinfall submission? They went

(20:00):
with pai yeah, which I'm I'mcool with. I mean, we haven't
seen the four corners thing a longtime. It doesn't bother me. It's
just it's I feel like it's veryunclear on what it is until the match
starts. Yeah. Yeah, andthey can probably give themselves a little bit
of creative room too about doing that. They're like, do we want it

(20:22):
to be like this, but belike this? Uh. My favorite part
about this match is that Roddy Stronglooked like a viable threat the entire freaking
time. He was going at Loomis, Like, also, I liked Loomis
ragdalling him around too. Yes,No, that was great. That was
great. Um, when he wason the inside of the ring, he
was hitting on the apron Um,he was on the outside of the ring,

(20:45):
and he had him come up thestairs and like flop, but Roddy
coming with the kicks in the forearms. Um. He hit a couple of
backbreakers, of course, but theydidn't make Roddy look like an idiot.
They like, they made him lookscared because he's always been scared throughout this
entire thing. And by the way, that promo package was outstanding before the

(21:06):
match, Yes it was. Icouldn't believe how good that was. Um.
But uh, just just Roddy lookingas good as he did against Loomis
was very good for me because Ithought they were going to turn him into
like a kind of punk and Loomiswas just gonna, I don't want to
say squash him, but really takecare of business. I mean, that
was a solid fifteen fifteen sixteen minutematch. They brought it up to the

(21:29):
stage, they teased that Loomis wasgonna put Roddy back in the trunk of
the one car um. But thenthey brought it back in and you know,
Bobby Fish got involved, and uh, you know, Loomis was able
to overcome that and and end upthrowing on I forget what the clutches called,
but like the side effect into thesubmission thing, Yeah, and then

(21:49):
get the victory. So I thoughtI thought that was pretty good. Um.
I was out of the four matches, Uh, I don't really know
which one to pick. I probablywould pick EO and Sasha for the first
night. Um, but we alsohad some stuff that was teased for next
week. For instance, we haveDamien Priest and Cameron Grimes that will be

(22:14):
next week. I think that's gonnabe a really good fight. Cameron Grimes
cutting another excellent promo, just asthis freaking greasy ass, fucking grimy guy
talking about how he's next in linefor the NXT Championship and all that stuff,
Like I love this guy. I'mI want to see how far they
can go with him because I reallylike his a ring ability and he's just

(22:37):
someone you can love to hate becausehe's just a cocky asshole and I think
that's a really good gimmick that's fittinghim right now. We had a full
on thing of Carrion Cross and Scarletjust Uh saying TikTok, I don't know,
like what what are you talking about? Basically, well, at the
end of it, they it's aflash of Key Lee and Adam Cole so

(23:00):
right, so that basically makes ourtheory pretty standard. Ye about his involvement
in next week. We also hadanother set up between Uh Santos Escobar and
Drake Maverick. Escobar came out andagain cuts a clean promo, you know,

(23:22):
the his his anguish is so good, um, you know for for
a Latino just right off the batum. So he has his faction out
there with Raoul and Joaquin and Drakestupid enough tries to go fight all three
of them again on his own,ends up getting beat down. But then
we get Breeze Ango that came out, so we get a six man tag

(23:44):
next week. Um Brezon by theway, uh, Fandango's looking ripped,
straight up ripped and he has anasty mustache. Um. And then we
randomly had this so Mia and Candicewere the scuffle backstage. Then uh,
Johnny sees Swerve trying to pull themoff. So Johnny and Swerve get into

(24:08):
it, and it looks like that'sgonna be a match maybe in a week
or two. Um, which perfectfor me, you know. I Uh
that not only is elevating Swerve pastthe cruiser you know scene, but it's
also getting him involved with someone withthe caliber of Johnny and Johnny getting a
new opponent. That's another thing thatI like about those two interacting their backstage,

(24:32):
So I'm cool with that. Nextweek, h we have three matches
that are announced though, Uh eventhough I thought, did they did they
add uh priests and grimes the nextweek or did they not make it official
or what? Because I see thethree there is the street fight between Candice
and Mia, the three three waytag We're not three way tag, but

(24:57):
yeah, um Legato Delphin, Tasma, Drake, Maverick Brizongo and the winner
take all match, which they alsohad a great like what do they call
that? Prime prime target? Theyalways do that? Yeah, prime target.
Yeah that was good. Which alsowatching that, I was like,
man, they might have key win. Oh you're gonna change your change your

(25:17):
mind right away. Uh No,I'm still sticking to what happens. But
I part of me thinks I wouldn'tbe surprised if they did a finish and
then had something happened after. Lookat that, changing his changing his mind
a little bit. I'm not changingmy mind. I'm just saying I wouldn't
be surprised if they actually they've threwboth belts on somebody, both belts.

(25:40):
That would be something I don't know. If they pull the stick next to
what I said, Yeah, yeah, the couple of weeks of course,
of course, Uh did you lookat Redd at all for Fighter Fester.
No, that'd be a negative.Nothing, okay, nothing. I will

(26:00):
say this opening match MJW, MJWno, MJF, sorry, MJF and
Wardlow against Lucasaurus and Jungle Boy OutstandingOpen. I was very surprised by Wardlow's
athletic ability. Like he looks likea Batista slash Mason Ryan type dude,

(26:25):
but he is athletic and I haveto show him love because he's a Cleveland
boy. He's like, I'm tellingyou, man, go watch. He
pulled out some like moon Salt,he had some like high arm drags like
dude. Dude's freaking athletic. Icouldn't believe it. I did not see
that coming. I thought he wasjust a superpowerhouse, you know, classic

(26:49):
big guy. But they let himdo his thing here. And the reason
I think they let him do histhing here is because MJF and Wardlow actually
lost. Wardlow took the pin um, but MGF and like accidentally ran into
him or something like that. SoI think that they're end up They're gonna
end up getting into it down theline um. But the outstanding match Jungle

(27:15):
Boys the truth too. By theway, that dude, he had this
Uh he jumped from the apron dida quarkscrew tornado DDT one of the one
of the nicest moves I ever seen, Lucasaurus. That dude's got fists of
fury and some crazy good kicks.Um, that was a really good opening
match. And MJF like he is. He loves to get heat. He

(27:37):
is so good, he is sonatural getting heat. Um, that's a
that's a star in the making.They need to get the belt on him
at some point. Um. Supersurprise to me because I had no idea
about this woman's ability. But wehad Penelope Ford challenge kar Rashida for the

(28:00):
Women's Championship and they actually had thematch of the night like they gave him
I think like eighteen twenty minutes somethinglike that. I did not know that
Penelope could actually go. I thoughtshe was just a valet. I didn't
I did not know about her wrestlingbackground. I knew she was with Joey

(28:21):
Janella when she came in, andthat's about it. But now she's with
Kip Sabi and they're legitimately a coupleand engaged. But she put on a
show and Sheeta Sheeta's outstanding too,man, I tell you, I would
love to see sheet Sheeta versus EO. I thought, I think that would
be an excellent match. But Penelope'slike her flexibility made her really cool.

(28:45):
She had like like a really coolcounter to this drop kick that EO tried.
EO tried to drop kick, andshe like may trixed her way out
of it. She just like bentbackwards, like I had never seen anyone
do that do a drop kick before, so I was really happy with that.
And then EO had a moment whereshe hit her falcon arrow finisher and
one of the best false finishes thatthey've seen in aw Penelope just rolled it

(29:08):
into a counter and almost got thethree count, but then EO or not
EO, sorry, Sheida hit thefalcon Arrow. Penelope kicked out and then
sheda hit the Shining Wizard, andthat was the ballgame there. Um,
there was another. There were tworeally good tag team matches, Private Party

(29:33):
against Santana and artiz I. SoMatt Hardy is taking Private Party under his
wing. So that's Mark Quinn andIsaiah Cassidy. I already liked Mark Quinn.
I already seen what I liked frommar Quinn. He's a you know,
really athletic. Um had a reallygood match against Cody a couple of

(29:55):
weeks ago for the TNT Championship.But Isaiah Cassidy. I didn't really see
it from him when when I was, you know, watching when they first
got introduced to the to the brand. But Isaiah was a true star in
this. Dude. He had thismove, you know, a sling bay.
Everyone knows what a sling blade is. His is like a sling blade

(30:15):
back breaker like Randy Orton, likelike like a Randy Orton black Baker,
but it's in like it's going inthe movement of a sling blade. If
that makes sense. Um, ifI find the move, I'll send it
to you, Marty. But it'sit's really good. Um. He had
a nice tope, Mark Quin,nice tope. My favorite move that Santana
or and Artis have is Santana getsthe one in a camera or in a

(30:42):
camel clutch and then or Tease nosorry, it's the opposite. Or Tease
gets someone in a camel clutch,and then Santana gets someone in the gory
special and then they double their submission. It's it's something it's it's really ice
and really clean looking. Actually,Quinn and Cassidy got that win, by

(31:06):
the way, so they're gonna actuallytake on the tag champs next week because
John Moxley isn't going to be facingBrian Cage next week. It'll be the
week after that at Fight for theFallen due to the virus. So they've
already addressed that. Marty mentioned thatlast week that match wouldn't probably happen,
and he was right, but theydid schedule it for the fifteenth, and

(31:29):
Taz talked a bunch of shit andhe even came out and he's like,
your ass tested negative twice and youstill didn't come here. So they brought
that kind of realism into the program, which I think was pretty good.
Main event Omega Hangman against the bestFriends. Awesome, awesome, awesome match.

(31:52):
Best Friends have been on fire.You know. At first I thought
that their thing was just like thisstupid gimmick, and you know, it
is silly, but they play wellto it and they're hell they're hell of
good in the ring. Man,they're really good. I thought A nice
little touch was they had Trent's momdropped them off at the venue, so
that was pretty funny. Chuck Taylor, that dude can go. Trent Man.

(32:16):
They really have been making him looklike a star. You know,
former WWE guy. I really wasn'twatching at the time when he was there,
so you know, learning a lotabout him. But dude, Omega
and Hangman. I hate that they'regoing to break them up eventually because they

(32:37):
had not tagged before this as youknow, a seasonal tag team. But
dude, they are excellent together.They're they're fantastic. We've already talked about
that perfect finish they have between theBuckshot Larry and the v Trigger. They've
got so much chemistry and such goodtiming with one another. And I really

(32:58):
like Hangman by the way, Man, I am all about Hangman. Um
he should probably be the next inline for the TNT Championship. I would
love to see that, because they'renot going to elevate him to the world
title quite yet, and I don'tthink that that's where they're at. They're
still doing this tease of breaking upthe elite sort of. Cody has also

(33:22):
been they've been teasing him he'll turningvery slowly because he's been winning with a
lot of help. So they've gotquite a bit going on there. Uh,
FTR and the Young Bucks, they'vegot like a program going, but
they're actually gonna be teaming up withone another next week. Here I'll read

(33:43):
off that card here in a minute. FTR ended up actually joining the the
announced desk during that match that Iwas talking about. Um yeah, so
FTR and the Young Bucks against Butcherand the Blade and the Luca Bros.
So I'm not usually four eight mantag match, but that one's actually probably

(34:04):
gonna be good because anything the LucaBros Is in is gold. Apparently Nila
Rose will be in action next week. And we also have Orange Cassidy against
Chris Jericho. Orange Cassidy had oneof the dopest moments on an AWTV last
week by the or two weeks ago. By the way, he had blood
coming from his ear and it wasdripping onto his white shirt and he sent

(34:30):
Chris through a table. I actuallywant that shirt, by the way,
with the blood on it looked soit looked so it made him look like
a badass. Apparently, we havethe Dark Order in Colt Cabana against SCU.
Colt Cabana is seemingly turning heel bythe way and then this sucks,

(34:52):
but hopefully this is just a oneoff. Joey Janella is facing the murder
Hawk Monster Lance Archer, so theykind of just booted Lance Archer from the
picture once Brian Cage arrived, sothat kind of sucks, but hopefully they
get Archer right back on the rightpath after that. So that was your
aw to update. I know thatwas like ten minutes straight and Marty had

(35:14):
nothing to say, but I thinkthat we had to inform the masses because
it's also going on. They bothhave pay per view type elements for the
next two weeks. We got Partone done of the Great American Bash,
and we got Part two coming upnext week, and we got Part one
of Fighter Fest done this week andnext week we'll have part two. So

(35:38):
I think that was a favorable thingto talk about. You know what we
did not talk about last week,Marty, What's that We didn't talk about
the Undertaker's retirement. Ah, that'scrazy, you know, like like after
all that stuff and you know,skipping over the dead Man, what is

(36:00):
your most what is what is yourwhat do you recall? What is the
memory that sticks in your head aboutUndertaker the most? Yes, uh,
I mean twenty five for me,it's like the standout moment for me.

(36:25):
That and I wouldn't even say fourteen. I think that's when he faced Kane,
or maybe he faced him at fifteen. I think it was fifteen.
I don't remember. I really don'tcare. It's not that not that big
for me. Um and the Helland a Cell King Ring. Those are
the two moments. Okay, allright, So that's hands down and the

(36:50):
return of twenty the return of thefirst one I have because it was on
my birthday. I think I wasturning thirteen or fourteen, but I remember
that just because I was still naiveto the point where I was, like
Caine buried him alive, What thehell is going to happen to him?
Yeah? The returns are honestly upthere. Underrated one for me, American

(37:14):
Badass Choke slams Rakishi off the topof the cell two thousand Armageddon. That's
an underrated moment for me. Anyof his programs with brock Lessner when he
was Big Evil. Thought those wereexcellent. I thought he was awesome as
Big Evil by the way. Hecould really rock the heel the heel roll.

(37:35):
There his match with Jeff Hardy onRaw for example. That one will
always stick with me. But brothersare destruction stuff. There's a lot,
there's a lot that really went intoit. And you know, until I
became like a Mark Mark like Idid in college, I didn't really appreciate
the history that he brought. Andwhen I watched the last ride, you

(37:57):
know, seeing what his was beforehand, you know, look at the stars
of that hab Hawk, like thatUndertaker. It's crazy how he just kind
of evolved. So I figured weshould have paid a nice little tribute to
him there. Um, it's justlong overdue. So it didn't really have

(38:19):
the impact it should have on me. Oh just his retirement in general.
Yeah, well, you know whatreally got to me is that he wanted
to end it against Roman but hecouldn't because it was so bad. Yeah,
you know, and he wanted toend it like two more times.
But like the Goldberg match and thematch with DX, I just loved seeing

(38:44):
the behind the scenes saying, wow, that was terrible, like you know,
like it's it's it's kind of coolto me when they know, you
know, yeah, when they canacknowledge the fact that it was bad.
Yeah, like when Sean was inthe background and said missed it by that
much. Yeah, that's all thatwas good to me. I'm surprised that
Kane didn't talk Is very much inthis documentary. Um, they had a

(39:08):
lot of people though, they hada lot of people that were very close
to him. Uh. Did youby chance get to watch Mark Henry's interview
with Stonehold? Did not, I'drecommend you to do it. Uh,
it's outstanding, very It is sohard not to respect that man. Um.

(39:30):
You basically you learned about his youknow his upbringing and you know the
powerlifting and how that led him tothe to the company, and then you
know how the hall pain got in. He he talks about Secial chocolate,
he talks about May Young China,like he hits on a lot of different

(39:51):
things, and and then obviously thethings that he does away from the ring,
um, the charity events that hedoes. It's just Mark is just
such a great person and when youlearn about you know who he is and
the you know the path he took. The coolest part for me, I'm

(40:13):
gonna spoil it a little bit here. The coolest part for me was when
he was talking about how like hisfirst duties were to like drive around Yoka
Zuna and like how close he wasto Yoka Zuna and how he like got
in with the BSk, the BoneStreet Crew For anybody that doesn't know,
basically the you know the other clickthat wasn't the click, you know,

(40:36):
how close he got to the Undertaker. Like like those types of things,
those behind the scenes looks into thingsare really cool for me as a fan,
So I think that you would enjoyit if you were to watch it.
It's like about an hour. Ithink it's like an hour and twenty
minutes, but it's well worth yourtime. I think it was very fun

(40:57):
just to kind of sit back andlisten. I mean, I remember the
first Stone Cold sessions we listened towas the one with Undertaker, and Marty
was bored out of hell because theywere just talking talking about like things from
the nineteen seventies or nineteen eighties,and you know, he's just boring.
But when it gets to the goodthing, like the good stuff, um,
and you know, people you wantto listen to and people you want
to hear from. That's what Ilike. Um And I hope Stone Cold

(41:22):
has like a lot more guests,But I really appreciated listening to Mark Henry
this week. So, um,if you have the chance, go listen
to that. Um, you won'tbe to get the balls to let him
have punk I bet you they will. They'll let him come on. They'll
let him come on this show.They've had Brock on there for God's sake.

(41:44):
Yeah, like they would have noproblem getting Punk on there. I
bet you they'll get Brett on there. But Brett will be the most boring
episode because he doesn't. Um,there's there's so many more. I mean,
you know who I want him toget on. I want him to
get Roman on there. Yeah,Like I bet you Roman would have some
really good stuff. You don't haveto only stick to the legends. Did

(42:05):
he have Yeah, he had Rickon there already. I'd be great to
have the Rock Oh my god.Yes, yes, absolutely, it's a
good series. I like it alot. But yeah, the market,
the Mark Henry one that was reallygood. Triple H would be another good
one too, Yes, yes,positively, absolutely. All right, did
you have anything else to add thisweek before we get out of here?

(42:30):
Nothing? Nothing, n O nO. Pe. All right, that's
good enough for me then, andwe'll have the wrap up to Part two
of both Fighter Fest and Great AmericanBash, an XT version when we get
to it. So that's it forthis one. We are on Twitter at
