So you want to listen to a pretty alright podcast about wrestling, do you?
(00:06):
Well the natural lab, Jet Swag, has said time and time again that there's only one podcast
that's the most decent and the most alright in the industry today.
And that's...
Hoo!
It's the Game Rage Rasslin' Podcast.
(00:35):
Oh yeah, welcome back to a nice new wonderful episode of Game Rage Rasslin'.
My name's Josh and I'm here today with good buddy Adam.
Fuck yes dude. I was in between saying oh and not finishing a thought.
Yeah, well sometimes that happens. Sometimes your brain just fucking decides to go sideways on you.
(00:58):
But anyways, today we're going to talk about some recent events, primarily Saturday night's weak ass event that happened.
And I think that's what they should rename it to.
SNWAE, Saturday night's weak ass event, if they're going to continue doing this shit.
This Netflix era thus far, three weeks in, has been fucking underwhelming to say the least.
There's been one standout thing in my opinion, or maybe two.
(01:21):
Kevin Owens and Jacob Fatu, which we're going to talk about probably I'm sure at some point.
Dude, he's too fucking good.
This is why they held off on fucking having him open his mouth because he's so godlike on the mic dude.
Yeah, he can't be...
Un-fucking-believable.
He can't be under someone. That's why they needed to do it.
And anyways, alright, we'll get to that in a second. But before we get there, if you want to follow us on social media,
(01:44):
Gamerage Magazine on Instagram, YouTube, and now featuring once again on TikTok,
even though like the algorithm changed because of some weird fuckery, but you can still find us there.
Additionally, you can go to Gamerage Magazine or Gamerage Mag on TikTok, or no, what is it? Twitter? Yeah, Twitter. Fuck, I'm retarded.
Go to Gamerage Mag on Twitter, okay, and then also go to follow Adam at AllGaffesNoTrashOfficial on Instagram, YouTube,
(02:11):
and you can go to substack.com forward slash at AllGaffesNoTrashOfficial, and you can check out all of his wonderfully amazing articles there.
Man, I know what you really want to say, but it's alright.
I'm going to save it. I'm going to save it.
Yeah, you can save it for later.
I'm going to save it because I don't, I feel like doing it every time makes it not special.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to just, I'm going to say it, you know, every, I'm going to parse it back a little.
(02:35):
When it comes to ring psychology, you don't need to drop a fucking power bomb every five seconds because it diminishes.
It diminishes it. So now I'm not going, I don't want to do that. I'm dialing it back.
There you go, there you go.
So go do that. But anyways, alright, what are we going to talk about first, Saturday night's week event or Jacob Fatu?
Well, I mean, he was part of main event, so.
Right, yeah, yeah, but I mean, like, do we want to?
(02:57):
So did you watch the whole thing?
Yeah, I watched the whole thing.
Okay.
So do you want to start off with the.
Yeah, I don't remember what order it was in.
It was Ray Ripley and Nia Jax.
That was first, right?
That was actually a bad match. I think it was a lot faster pace than I thought it would be.
There's a lot of butt slams and.
Yeah, I will say this, Nia Jax is more athletic than people want to give her credit for.
(03:24):
Okay, I don't know if she changed her tune in recent memory, if because, you know, with with more power wrestlers, it's slow trotting matches.
And maybe it was just because she was paired with Ray Ripley.
This thing got off to a pretty hot start where they were, you know, running into the ropes and clotheslining each other.
And it was like a well paced match. I mean, this was actually pretty fucking good.
(03:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, also, there was that whole thing.
So Hogan was supposed to be here for this.
Allegedly. Allegedly. But because of the booing incident that happened that Monday night Netflix first episode, apparently he dropped out.
And that's why Ted DiBiase was there because they still wanted to have some sort of like, I don't know, nostalgia act or whatever.
(04:11):
And we have returning Jesse Ventura. Yeah.
So like we got we got both, which was that.
See, that's like some of the stuff that they're doing that's like kind of cool, but like it also sucks because you're getting eating time for the nostalgia acts.
And then not highlighting certain people like there was only four fucking matches on this thing.
(04:33):
And and no title changes, no, no, no title changes at all.
So massive tease for leading into Royal Rumble. Oh, yeah, definitely.
But yeah, then we had Bron Breaker and Sheamus after that.
No, it wasn't. Was it?
It was. I don't know. Oh, sorry. I think it said Bron Strohman. My brain. No. My ADHD brain. Bron Breaker.
(04:57):
Yeah, you're right. What the fuck would they do that for?
You can't have two assholes with the same name.
That's very like Bron. Yeah, sure, it's spelled differently, but that's very confusing.
It is. My ADHD brain was trying to figure out, was trying to parse what you were fucking saying.
Yeah, it's a Bron Breaks. It already confused you. Yeah.
(05:18):
And then I got confused. And then we were like, oh shit, Bron Breaker versus Sheamus. That did happen.
That happened. Intercontinental title match. Yeah. What do you think about that one?
It was it was shit. I'm trying to recall it because it's been a couple of days.
Yeah, it's been like three days because it was Saturday. Today's fucking Monday going into Tuesday.
Dude, I don't know if I remember it all that well. I don't know if that's a discredit to both of them or it's just that.
(05:47):
I don't know if there was any standout moments that I could talk about because I can't remember even what the finish was.
Bron Breaker throws his foot atop the rope. And then the ref gave a three count.
Sheamus thought he won. And then how does the match end?
I think he speared him. Yeah. And then it fucked him up or whatever. And that's how he killed him was a spear.
(06:13):
I got to say there was way too many goddamn spears. I'm really tired of that as a finisher or even just in a fucking in a in a wrestler's repertoire of wrestling moves.
I just can't fuck with I can't fucking hang with it. It's too old. Yeah, it's too. It's too. It's played out. Yeah, it is.
They should have called this Saturday Night Spear event. That's what it should have been called. Dude, honestly, it was spears like every and that's how is that everybody's fucking finisher now almost like I don't know.
(06:44):
It's insane. I don't know. I think we've gone back to that point.
Like you remember how like there was that period where OK, like the super kick was was like, oh, no, but like spears like everybody would just kick out of that shit.
Right. Now we've gone to like the inverse of that. We're now everyone's doing everyone's finisher is a spear and everyone's also kicking out.
And then it's like, well, what the fuck is the point of everybody doing all these moves for? Yep. And it doesn't make any sense.
(07:06):
But yeah, that match was whatever. I didn't really remember a lot of it either.
But then we had what I thought was an interesting segment was the Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens contract sighting.
Well, what about it was particularly interesting to you? For me, I love that Cody sucks eggs shirt that fucking Kevin Owens wearing.
(07:27):
Yeah, that's I want that shirt, man. I hope that's available for sale.
And if not, W.W. you're fucking up. That's such a classic fucking insult or whatever the fuck it is.
I'll teach your mother to suck eggs. You're like, it's like classic fucking thing. Yeah.
So simple. It is. And fucking there was there was a moment at the beginning like Shawn Michaels.
(07:51):
Dude's old, right? He's old. He's beat the fuck. Dude, his I don't know if it was this bad when he was in towards the end of his career, if it was this bad.
But he's become bow legged, dude. Like he looks like a cowboy that just got off the saddle. Yeah.
It's it's interesting. Yeah, I think it's to be honest with you, I think it's because of his probably bad fucking hips and knees.
(08:15):
Well, it's that it's for sure he had bad and it's his back and it's everything just goes downhill from there once your back starts fucking up.
Yeah. But yeah, I know he's had like surprise some knee surgeries and shit. Yeah.
But I have a feeling that it's got something to do with he was he was one of those guys that was built like he did a little bit of steroids.
All right. Like he didn't a little bit of the juice. He wasn't abusing it.
(08:37):
But you could tell like, all right, you look better than any normal guy who doesn't use steroids, even even as weightlifting should.
Especially for being on the road like that. And especially at the time he was doing it, it was insane.
And like so you're saying he he did it around the time when he was well, shit.
What time do you pin this happening? Starting to use the juice like because he was on Playgirl.
(09:03):
Yeah, I would say that was in like 96. I'm talking like 97, like 97 when he was in DX.
You could tell he was a lot like maybe even that first title run in 96 when he first had it.
That was probably like right after. I want to say because he won it at WrestleMania in 96. Right.
Like whatever April. And then I want to say by like July, he was already looking fucking like shredded shredded and more built.
(09:29):
And I just I just feel like that's when he probably started getting on the sauce.
And then the whole time when he was in DX, I mean, he looked fucking great. Don't get me wrong.
I mean, he was looking fucking a one top of his game. But that was also the time when he was fucking having those bad back problems.
Yeah. And so the back and the knee problem.
So I think that the steroids were like a side effect of OK, like if I can take some PEDs and it's not it's like the shit Roger Clemens was taking.
(09:58):
Right. Where it's not going to make you super shredded, but it's going to help you recover faster.
So like because he's working out, it's helping him recover faster.
And because he's also doing all this shit, it's helping his back and his knees maybe like recover a little faster.
But I think that eventually he caught up to him. It just caught up to him.
And then obviously he got addicted to painkillers. And then that was the whole issue with that.
But I think that that has something to do with it is like that steroid use does something to your bones.
(10:22):
I don't know if it's like an osteoporosis kind of thing. Like when you become an old man like that, you just your body just agrees.
Yeah, because like Triple H, I feel like is going to start looking like that.
But the difference being Triple H wears clothes that are too like that are kind of baggy on him.
And he looked like you can't really tell about his legs.
Shawn Michaels wears those tight fucking jeans and you can fucking see it like that.
(10:45):
Oh, dude. Yeah, yeah.
Even when he walks, you can see it there.
And I mean, dude fucking broke his body for us for fucking two decades wrestling.
So like, I mean, I get it. I'm not I'm not talking shit.
I'm just saying like, hey, as an observation, like you can tell, like, oh, it's pretty bad.
Like, it's not looking good.
And that was the thing that I wasn't sure of is if we were going to get a super kick or not as a result of his aging that if he had one more one more in him.
(11:12):
I mean, he did. He gave it to him. So, I mean, we got one more out of it.
But I had a feeling Kevin Owens was going to go for that. Shawn Michaels losing his smile.
I had a feeling that just felt like it was par for the court right there.
It's right there. Like you have to take it like you have to take that shot.
So, yeah, I really, really fucking hope they let Kevin Owens take the fucking strap, man.
(11:38):
It'd be a surprise for sure for WrestleMania.
I think you do that. And then I think now we get into a situation where Royal Rumble becomes very interesting.
Why do you say that?
Because then we know we're not going to get that Roman versus Cody for a third fucking year in a row, which is which if Cody Rhodes has the title.
(12:01):
Yeah. If he retains the title until WrestleMania, which basically this is it.
If he retains it at Royal Rumble, his next defense will be at WrestleMania.
And if that happens, if he retains this belt, it's done.
It's going to be Roman Reigns versus fucking Cody Rhodes again for a third goddamn year in a row.
(12:22):
I think if it plays out the way where Kevin Owens is champion, I think WrestleMania gets a little bit more interesting because then you can play with you have.
This is like Rocky. This is like Rocky three, which is something that they alluded to with WrestleMania 40.
Take away the titles and you just have Roman versus Cody Rhodes of who's the best between them.
(12:48):
Yeah, that that makes for, I guess, an interesting match like one on one.
Who's fucking better between no belts? Yeah, just fucking.
You can just have a grudge match.
Yeah, that's I think plays out better for WrestleMania.
And then Kevin Owens is champion is just fucking weird and interesting and it's different.
It's original. And then it sets up. OK, it sets up something else to happen, something that we're not necessarily expecting.
(13:15):
And I mean, listen, whoever wins the Rumble, it'll be very interesting to see.
I fucking swear to God, I beat John Cena.
He's so mad. But I do think John Cena is going to fit his finagle his way somehow,
obviously into WrestleMania and potentially another belt run when he gets the chance.
I'm sure it'll happen this year for this number 17.
(13:37):
It'll it may be only a 30 day run, but it'll be a run nonetheless, just to break the record.
And I think that doing this opens up the possibility for that to not happen at WrestleMania,
at least because then that if Cody and Roman are going to fight, then the obvious choice is that if John Cena wins the Rumble,
(14:02):
he's going to go for Gunther because he ain't going to go for fucking Cena.
Well, maybe make it a triple threat match. That's another thing. I don't really want to see that either.
I don't want to see Cody and Roman again in the in the main championship match.
I also don't want to see a triple threat with the two of them or a fatal four way with the two of them CM Punk and fucking John Cena.
Because remember, there's still that favor that's owed.
(14:25):
Yeah, there is. And I think I don't know what that favor is going to be.
At this point, I don't think a title is going to do anything for the anything for Roman Reigns.
It's not going to do anything for Cody Rhodes.
Yeah. Other than having him as your face champion, which people love or whatever.
I mean, how are they feel about it? Whatever. Don't give a shit.
Point being that at this point, neither of them need the strap. Right.
(14:47):
And it's going to be an injustice to other wrestlers that could be vying for the title to build up the next star, I guess.
Yeah, I think Kevin Owens could bring something to the title picture that we haven't seen in a while.
And I think that's what we need. And put somebody over.
I mean, he's probably going to be like the stopgap champ before probably.
I mean, he'll put over, I don't know, whoever the next guy maybe is going to be.
(15:10):
Because imagine this already teasing Penta versus Brawnbreaker for Intercontinental Champion.
As it stands right now, Pentel Zero is undefeated with two and no record.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, he's faced Chad Gable and fucking that dickhead Pete Dunne.
I mean, that's like, wow, what a stellar fucking record that is.
This might be the time and I don't know if it's too soon or not.
(15:33):
But as far as like timing goes, I think it could work out that Pentel Zero can be champion for at least nine months.
He can carry the belt, make it look good and everything.
But that puts Brawnbreaker that frees him up from the title, which means that he could potentially win something along the way leading into WrestleMania.
Fuck man, I feel like it's too soon for him.
You think it's too soon?
I feel like I just feel like it's too soon.
(15:55):
Yeah, it would come across as like Tiffany Stratness.
Yeah, and I just I think that's a mistake.
I think that's a mistake because if you you pop that shit too soon and he's and he's not necessarily I wouldn't say ready for it.
But if we're not ready for it, if we don't believe this.
Yeah, I think that that that's going to not bode well for his trajectory of his career because I kind of feel like I kind of feel like that was what happened in that 20 whatever 2011 to 2014 period.
(16:26):
When you had like when they gave Finn Balor the belt for like a minute and then they gave Kevin Owens had it like once.
Oh, yeah, I feel like they weren't fucking like we I don't know if they weren't ready or if we weren't ready to see that yet.
If they still needed to spend more time in that mid card title picture for us to believe the ascent into that.
And that was at that time when the belts were going around, they were getting traded once a month.
(16:50):
And so that was also I mean, Seamus, like all those guys, I felt like they were when they got their belts the first time.
Well, Seamus, they was just I felt like it was a little too soon.
And I think they projected these guys a little higher than they maybe should have.
And, you know, I think it did affect the way it because if you look at a lot of those guys, they haven't had a title run since for the most part.
(17:11):
Yeah, it's probably been 10 years since we had those guys that had it from like 2012 to 2015.
They have not had a title run since other than John Cena. That's the only fucking one that would still have had another title run maybe after that.
But everybody else, they were like either one and done or maybe two and done.
And that's it. And I mean, the Miz, the fucking Miz has that's another one.
(17:33):
That's another one. That's a great example of a guy.
I feel like I don't think they knew what to do with all these guys.
And they were just like, oh, fuck, let's just throw them all up in the title picture and make a change once a month or once every other month to see what happens.
And they did that. And then they got the title bill. And then what happened?
They were like, oh, fuck, now we got to send them back down to the Intercontinental title or make them a tag team champion or something like that.
That's kind of what happened.
(17:54):
All right. Well, what if he wins something just to give people the nudge?
Hey, this guy's on his way to the top. He wins the elimination chamber, but he doesn't.
What is the elimination chamber get you? Is that for the for the championship or is that for SummerSlam now?
Oh, no, no, that's King of the Rings for SummerSlam.
I don't know what it is for what it is.
But my point being that you went to one of those menial pay per views that warrants you some kind of main event for either SummerSlam or WrestleMania.
(18:25):
But the dude doesn't win in either of those.
We prolong that we just keep keep fucking edging.
Yeah, keep fucking edging until the broad breaker load just fucking spews all over the place.
I also don't think Bronbreaker needs to be in a title match.
The grudge man. I mean, we need heavy fucking grudge matches.
Yeah, we need Jacob Fatu versus fucking Bronbreaker at some point.
(18:48):
And then I think we need them to to fight in the title picture, like at some point.
Oh, yeah. They need to pull Jacob Fatu back to Raw.
He's going to just be wasted on smack.
Oh, dude, it makes me cry knowing that, as I've said numerous times before, I mean, like I said, I didn't know anything about.
Jacob Fatu, as far as the independence go, or even some of the larger promotions like New Japan and shit.
(19:13):
But fuck, man, this dude is as good as it fucking gets.
Are we like transitioning over now? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like we didn't finish talking about the fucking pay per view, but it sucked ass anyway.
So, OK, all right. Well, no, no.
What was the other one? It was a good third day.
So that match was fucking terrible. It was a finish was garbage.
I wanted to kill myself after watching it.
I think I think Jey Uso was starting to wear thin on me.
(19:39):
And it's not that I would really pay attention to him all that much, but it's evident.
It's evident that his skill set in the ring and also his promo skills are somewhat limited.
Yeah, heavily, heavily limited.
(20:02):
And because I remember from the majority of the match, super kicks and spears.
Yeah. And man, at this point.
What percentage would you say that comes out of his mouth within his whole promo?
It's at least 65 percent of the time, maybe more. It might be 75 percent.
(20:26):
It's fluff. It's fluff. It's it's too much.
It's when you think about guys like CM Punk or fuck, do you?
I think Jacob Fett, too, might just cut shit off the cuff, do you like?
I think he's capable. Oh, yeah. But I'll tell you this.
I'll tell you this. OK, one of the best ones that's that's it's sort of equivalent to eat,
(20:49):
but I'm disrespecting it by comparing it to eat. Oh, here we go.
Ellie Knight. No, not that what the stone cold what?
Yeah. He said that a few times.
And then once the audience started doing it, he rarely fucking said it.
He he would say he would let them say it.
And then he'd say, like, I'm going to get me a beer and they go, what a Steve Weiser, what a bruski, what?
(21:13):
And he'd say, like, they would do it. Yeah.
He needs to come up with something that he can say that's not because or just cue the audience
with the like lifting the mic or some. Yeah, that is something that would make that promo better
because because all you're doing is just filling shit in with yeet.
And it's like if stone cold, what what every fucking five words that would fucking.
And that was all the promo was.
(21:35):
Yeah, it was like that for the first few times he did it until the audience caught on and started doing that.
But now that the audience catches on and starts doing it, OK, now you got to now you got to make it so they do it.
It's not your thing. It's their thing now.
And that's what makes it something that will last.
People still say what to this day? That's the difference between stone cold and fucking J.
Uso. Well, I was going to say Jacob Fatu and J. Uso.
So Jacob Fatu was wise enough that that promo that he cut in the ring the week before this week.
(22:01):
That shit was so good because he got the audience tricked into thinking that they could say what?
After every sentence and then he expanded upon this one sentence.
Yeah. And he just cut them off and never gave him the chance to actually.
That was a little pissed them off even more.
So he's good, man. But the match itself between Gunther J.
(22:22):
Uso, this firmly this is affirming to me that J.
Uso is mid card J.
Uso. Yeah, that I don't see him winning a main event title fucking ever.
He had it happened. Yeah, sure.
Back in the early 20s. He had it.
(22:46):
He had those chances that were granted to him and they might have been throwaway squash matches for, you know, Roman Reigns.
But as it sits right now, he is an entertaining competitor, I guess.
But he's getting carried very hard by the by the shit on both fronts,
whether that's fucking in the ring or just even verbally.
(23:12):
It's fucking it's it's hard for me to to see how much longer this is going to last,
because I think this is going to work in very quickly.
Oh, it's more than thin for me already. I mean, I'm already over it.
I'm already done with it. Yeah, it was cool.
First few times, but then like, this is a car. Come on, man.
All right, let's do something different now.
I mean, you'll still catch me saying day one ish.
(23:33):
That's something you should fuck. Yeah, sure.
We'll do it every once in a while because it's funny.
And I'm doing it in a mocking way, not a homage way.
But I don't think that I think it needs to change his name because you should not be anywhere near main events
for the rest of your fucking career or at least until you kind of like, I don't know, give us a little something extra,
(23:56):
something a little different, maybe a little something, a little something extra.
This is just fucking basically the one half of the USO's tag team by himself.
That's all it is. It's all it's been. It hasn't.
You know what's funny? You're both the fucking Jeanette's in this scenario.
OK, they're twins. Twin Jeanette's is what we got out of the USO's going solo.
All right. Either you get the band back together and fucking go back to being the USO's tag team,
(24:20):
which I which I believe I guarantee you it's coming. I'm not believing it.
I guarantee you that is coming because they're going to reshape this tag team division
once Ray Phoenix's fucking shit is up and he comes to WWE and they reform the Lucha Brothers.
That's that's what's up. That's what's happening.
All right. Whenever they do that, that's probably that's when the USO's are going to come back as a tag team
(24:43):
because they're going to need more tag teams.
But that feel that would feel like the end of their careers, because if they go back to that,
because usually when you don't really go back to that shit as a singles competitor, if you're worth your salt.
It's because neither of them were worth their salt as this is how you have to go back to it.
But at the same token. All right.
Again, there's there's the genetic and then there's the fucking Shawn Michaels.
And you do eventually come like the deadly boys eventually came back.
(25:07):
Yes, D-Von was the genetic in that scenario.
Bubba Ray went on to have a massive singles career in other organizations, not so much in the WWF or WWE,
but in other organizations, he was world champion in TNA for many, many years and multiple times.
Yeah. You had Edge and Christian, right?
Edge goes on to win multiple world championships and WWE championships and even championships in TNA and for not TNA fucking.
(25:33):
Where the fuck else he went? Christian.
Christian kind of didn't really do that well in WWE.
But hey, when he went over to TNA, he eventually became TNA champion.
He eventually became, you know, did did something there.
Big fish in a small pond, though. That's true.
That's why he was able to be still the genetic, though.
Don't get me wrong, still the genetic. But they eventually did come back together as Edge and Christian for a little bit and did a little run.
(25:57):
Matt and Jeff the Hardy boys, they're currently in another.
This is like their third or fourth resurgence is coming back together.
Good Lord. And listen, Jeff Hardy would have not Jeff Hardy would have been the fucking goddamn Shawn Michaels in this scenario if he wouldn't have been a fucking drug addict.
All right. But because he was a drug addict, he fucked up all of his chances
and had to go back to being with his with his genetic brother fucking Matt, which again, that hard is really not even that bad of the genetic in this scenario.
(26:24):
Because as a as a character, he's been much more compelling than anything Jeff Hardy's ever done in his solo career.
No. And well, yes, in a good way. Yeah.
But yeah, I don't think Jeff Hardy's the shit that's been that compelling as what Matt Hardy has broken Matt Hardy and that whole fucking thing like the Edge and lead a bullshit.
Yeah. And all that stuff like that shit was nothing's been as compelling as that, but he didn't get any recognition for it.
(26:46):
He didn't get any main championships or main title runs.
He stayed after they broke up. He stayed a cruiserweight champion. Yeah. But look who was at the top to who was going to fucking give him a chance.
No one. No one. Yeah. That's why he was the cruiserweight champion. He couldn't even get an IC or a US title out of it.
He was the cruiserweight champion. And then, you know, whatever, he went over to TNA and now he's in AEW or TNA again.
(27:08):
I don't know what the fuck they're doing. It's weird, though, because then you think about it now, the way guys look, not quite as fucking massive, more of the athletic build compared to guys like in the fucking 90s and 2000s.
They're more of the athletic build, which means that well, at least to me, maybe Jeff Hardy was the beginning of that.
(27:32):
But, yeah, I mean, there was there could have been a time if Matt Hardy, if he if if they were born 10 years fucking later, they could have been made event stars.
That's that's for sure. So you look at those three tag teams and you think, OK, they do eventually go back.
But that doesn't mean you're at the end of your rope. I mean, granted, I don't I don't think that the USOs should remain solo.
(27:57):
I think that they did better when they were together as a tag team and they did tag team wrestling.
That's what their wrestling style is, because, say what you want.
I see it. I saw it in this match, man. Fucking J Uso still wrestles like a tag team wrestler.
He still wrestles like he's like he's about to hot tag somebody. That's how like his his his shit is.
(28:19):
And there's nothing wrong with that. But you can just see that it's like one of those things of like Triple H or whoever's really calling the shots.
If you're watching and you're saying, OK, where can I best utilize this talent?
It's obviously not in main events. It's really probably not even in solo competition because the matches that the solo competitor has are not that good.
But if I throw them together in a tag team again, oh, man, all of a sudden, it's great because that's that's how he's wrestling.
(28:44):
He's wrestling like he's in a tag team match every single time.
I haven't really watched fucking Jimmy Uso solo a lot because I don't think he's really doing a lot at the juncture.
I mean, he's like he's like the fucking which one's the defective one in the the rabid Toma Tonga or Tonga Lola.
Tonal Lola. He's the defective one. Yeah. So like he's not really doing shit.
(29:06):
So like thrown back together again. I mean, even if you want to check on the thing and keep that going, go ahead.
Have both fucking do it. Just make them main event usos or whatever.
Yeah, I guess because they could be main event tag teamers. I could tell you that right now.
That's true. And they're going to need somebody.
They're going to have if they're going to have Ray, Ray Phoenix and Penta go for the title.
(29:30):
I'm telling you right now, if you had the Motor City Machine Guns, Pentel or the Lucha Brothers fucking usos and like, I don't know, you need to throw in a fourth fucking hot tag team.
In a tables out of chairs match. Well, yeah.
Well, really you can get away with it with those three guys, those three tag teams, because let's be honest, Edge and Christian, the Dudley boys and Matt and Jeff Hardy.
(29:52):
They fucking carry the tag team division from like 1999 to like 2000 fucking two.
Don't forget about the fucking world's greatest tag team. They came in 2003.
Okay. Oh, don't forget about La Resistance. Let's not forget about them. Yeah, those guys are awesome. Let's not.
Let's not fucking forget about Takamichi Noku and what's his name? The other guy.
(30:17):
Indeed, Funaki. All right. As what the fuck was their tag team name?
Kai and Tai. Kai and Tai. Yeah. Let's not forget about them.
What about the APA? Let's not forget about that fucking tag team.
Shit, I can't even remember if they actually won a title. I think they probably had it once.
They never actually won the tag team titles. Yeah, they might have. I think they were in a lot of matches though.
They were like the washed tag team. They're like, well, we don't know what to do with Farouk since World, you know, the Nation of Domination.
(30:44):
And then the Undertaker like, yeah, we don't really, or the JBL thing. We don't do these guys. Let's throw them in with the Undertaker.
And then they become the Acolytes and then they're like, oh fuck, well, this is over. Now what?
They're like, oh, let's make them like beer drinking, cigar smoking, card playing tough guys. And they'll be like mafia dudes. Yeah.
They'll be like the Enforcers. Oh, yeah, man. And we'll throw that big tit lady with them. Oh, yeah, that's a great idea.
(31:07):
And then look what happened. You got the APA and it worked out fucking great for them. Yeah.
JBL went to go on and have a massive career after that.
I mean, he did. He did chase Mexicans across the border in 2004. But I mean, what are you going to do?
I don't know. I guess it's acceptable now by this juncture. Yeah. But I mean, yeah, he had a massive fucking career.
(31:29):
And yeah, Farouk fucking still where Farouk's claim to fame is just coming on screen. Everyone's going, damn, like that.
But fuck, man, like, yeah, if you have three hot tag teams and throw in a fourth as a utility that you can put in and out, man, that tag team division will be fucking fire again.
Also, delete the other tag team belt. We only need to go back to one. Yeah. That's what I think needs to happen. Will they do it?
(31:56):
Probably not, because they don't fucking ever do anything that I say because they don't like me. So they also don't know you.
No, I used to work for that. I was a writer for them for a while and they fired me because, well, they didn't like my ideas.
And I think I had some of the greatest. Yeah. World's greatest writing team. That's what they call me. Yeah. I had the thing on my desk and everything.
So Jacob Fatu himself. Busted Braun Strowman in the ring. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, there's a difference, though.
(32:25):
I mean, he lost. He lost by. I mean, it was it was fucking DQ, though. Yeah. But OK, here's the difference between J.
Uso and the other fucker. Well, Jacob Fatu, I guess, is the other fucker.
I don't even know if it's a difference in size because I don't think they're far off. Maybe he's got probably 30 pounds, 50.
(32:47):
I don't know. I don't know how beefy Braun Strowman weight rise. No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about Jacob Fatu versus J.
Uso. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Jacob Fatu is way beefier than he's beefier. But OK, I don't know if this matters or not.
But notice how the butt slams. In the ring post or the ring corner, OK. Jacob Fatu like goes full fucking steam like a like a wildebeest, dude.
(33:11):
And yeah. And when when Jay does it, it's all.
La dee da. Oh, man, you know, it's like he's having a good time. Yeah, it's.
But when. When fucking Jacob Fatu does it, he's a fucking madman, dude.
He's crazy and he wouldn't stop. It was I think he did like I don't even know what the actual number was, but let's say it was like six or seven different butt slams in the ring.
(33:34):
And then you see fucking Braun Strowman. I don't know if he had a razor blade or what it was, but they I don't think they cut the camera quick enough.
And I think he had a blood capsule. So you start. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think they were like, oh, let's zoom in on him and they're like, oh, we're not ready. I think that and I think that might be I think that might have been due to inexperience on the camera crew.
(33:59):
And the guys in the back, maybe this like, oh, maybe they had guys that weren't the normal wrestling guys that know, OK, we can't show this. Yeah.
And then they're like, oh, oh, and then maybe it was like, what are you doing? Get out of my car.
Yeah, dude. My favorite part is him doing the two moonsaults and then he leaves the ring and then he comes back and everybody was clapping and cheering for him, dude.
(34:21):
He's so fucking over. But that pro that he cut in the fucking in the back before coming out for the entrance, he's like, Braun, you a big SOB.
But I'm about to beat your ass. It was so fucking good. Yeah, that was that was legit, man.
It was so legit. I just want to say they do have the Cody sucks a shirt. Oh, they do. It's thirty five fucking dollars.
(34:45):
I feel like you can break that. But Natix has ruined everything you can do.
You might as well make that on. What is it? Red bubble like just make it a Photoshop.
Is it just put it on there? Also, they have the Canadian dream son of a security systems technician shirt.
That's excellent. That's fucking I wear that fucking out every fucking day.
Like, God damn, that is fucking excellent. And they got the one where he fucking taped his fucking face.
(35:09):
The Lord Kevin Owens. Yeah, I hope this is actually his idea that these I feel like it is because it's got to be.
Yeah, there's no there's no way that there's some asshole going like, oh, all right, guys, I got this great idea.
What if we write a shirt that says Cody sucks a because that's an that's that's a joke from the old like back in the day.
They had a dusty sucks eggs shirt. Yeah, that's what that's like. If you are a writer and you're just a writer, you're not going to fucking know that.
(35:36):
So like I feel like this is Kevin Owens like knowing that shit. Yeah.
Oh, like, yeah, the son of a fucking security system technician. That is fucking hilarious, man.
These these fucking bros. Fifty seven ninety nine for a shorts, a pair of shorts. Who who does that?
I can't even believe this. This is so sad. This is fanatics material, right?
(36:00):
Yeah, because they run the WWE shop. It's like all by fanatics. That is a.
That's a big pass, man. Ever since they announced that.
I'm pretty sure the quality of shirts went down immediately and they're charging just as much fuck.
And this is a special fucking order. This Kevin is the Cody sucks egg shirt. It's a limited time off.
(36:23):
It's a special event. This is a special event item. Orders contain this project will be shipped separately.
This item will be shipped no later than February 21st. Jesus Christ.
Oh, look at that. You can get free shipping with this code. Apply code here.
Oh, wow. I got free shipping on this thirty five dollar fucking shirt.
That's such a bullshit thing. That's like a placebo effect.
They're telling you, oh, man, you get the same on shipping, but it actually would have cost just the same if you if you would have just paid less like you have to charge you less for the shirt.
(36:50):
That sucks, man. Anyways, but yeah, fuck them.
Jacob, that too, man. He's the bomb, dude. He's the best. I kick his ass from post to post on NBC from coast to coast.
What what a what a sick ass fucking line, dude. That is man.
That is that is excellent. And it's the delivery.
And then he apparently somebody pointed out that that line where he says, yeah, I mean, that's a Bay Area thing.
(37:17):
So I don't know. I guess that's kind of like leaking out into his personality.
This is ring persona. Interesting. Here's what I want to see at WrestleMania.
Two years from now, two years from now. Why? Why two years from now?
Why not fucking five or three? No, I think I think two years from now.
I think that I think that Bron Breaker to maybe two to three years, Bron Breaker and Jacob Fett, who will be ready. This is what I want to see.
(37:47):
I want to see at WrestleMania. I want to see the title be vacant.
I want to see Royal Rumble. I want to see the two of them be the last two guys.
And they fucking both go over somehow at the same time.
And then the belt's vacant. It was supposed to be for the belt. So they're like, oh, they're both.
Oh, they can't be both champion. They'll say, oh, I know. Fine.
(38:09):
Since you both won the Royal Rumble at WrestleMania, you two are going to fight for the championship.
So there's no one going into this as the champion and they're going to fight in like this fucking death defying fucking just like beat fest.
They're going to beat the fuck out of each other.
And then one of them is going to win. And then the oh, like, I don't know.
I'm sure Jacob Fatt will probably be the heel in this in this scenario. Bron Breaker might be the fucking face.
(38:33):
I don't know how that dude is ever going to work as a face. Who? Bron Breaker? Yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I mean, I guess you'll have to or someone's going to have to or maybe they'll both be heels.
Who knows? But they're going to fight.
And then one of them is going to win. And then the other one's going to be fucking chasing them or maybe be ashamed and go to the other show and fucking win the other belt.
I don't know. That'd be cool as fuck to see like them fight each other.
(38:57):
Also, I'd like to see fucking Jacob to fight CM Punk or Seth Rollins or, you know, he's come back.
He's come to raw. Like, that's what we need.
I think if there's if it might be the Matt Hardy thing, this guy's too fucking good.
And they have too many people. Well, I don't know if they have too many people at the top, but they're like, we can't bury CM Punk yet.
(39:18):
We can't bury Seth Rollins. We can't do Roman Reigns.
It's John Cena's last year. We can't bury him.
Actually, I mean, it's his job. He should be getting buried this whole last year.
If there was somebody that should bury him to put put Jacob Fatu over, it should be John Cena.
Yeah, John Cena. I think that I think that'll solidify fucking Jacob Fatu is like, oh, shit, he ended John Cena's career.
(39:44):
Dude, that would be awesome. That would be fucking sick. At the end of the year, he fucking beats him to death.
Like Brock Lesnar beat him to death, but he didn't end his career.
Jacob Fatu beat him to death. And he was like, like for the last three months, maybe have him go on this whole campaign about, you know what, guys, I'm going to stick it out for one more year.
I'm going to keep going. I felt great this year.
And then at the end of the year, Jacob Fatu beats the fuck out of him and he kills him and then he never comes back.
(40:10):
He has to retire because he beat him so bad. That's how you put a dude over, man. Yes.
And that's how you sell that invincibility. So that's what I'm guess. That's what I'm hoping for. Yes. Indeed.
Anyways, we got anything else? No, I think at the moment, even by a slim margin, it's really just one person.
Smackdown has my vaguest, my vaguest interest. Yeah. A minutia of fucking interest simply for the fact that Jacob Fatu is the draw now.
(40:41):
It's it's so obvious. It's so fucking obvious that Sola Sokoa. Look at that. Look at that, dude.
Jacob Fatu, somebody that's a seasoned veteran that owned his craft across multiple promotions and Jacob Fatu, who was just.
Waltz into fucking W.W.E. got to be on the main roster, obviously, is not ready straight away.
(41:09):
But the minute Jacob Fatu opens his fucking mouth, fucking Dunzo, it's gold. You can't teach it. No, you can't.
And he's he's and you can't teach that. That's just the bottom line.
You can't. And how do you think he's a main event?
I know they're going to do it way too soon. I think I feel like two years is like a good time frame for him because he because he really hasn't been.
(41:36):
He's just been solo. Right. Like, yes, this is now this 2025.
He's now kind of going solo. And I think they're probably going to do it.
I think they're probably going to put him in a main event championship match.
It'll probably be this year. It'll probably be in 2025. I hope so.
I mean, sometimes sometime in the in the mid like I feel like July on is when they'll do it.
(42:01):
Like sometime maybe in like the fall.
Could be Survivor Series. I don't know. But something like or maybe even some of that. Fuck. Maybe they'll win.
He's probably going to win the king of the ring and then that'll give him a shot at SummerSlam.
Yeah, maybe that would make sense. So, I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see.
So. But anyways, I'm rooting for him. That's for sure.

And that's...
Hoo!
It's the Game Rage Rasslin' Podcast.
(00:35):
Oh yeah, welcome back to a nice new wonderful episode of Game Rage Rasslin'.
My name's Josh and I'm here today with good buddy Adam.
Fuck yes dude. I was in between saying oh and not finishing a thought.
Yeah, well sometimes that happens. Sometimes your brain just fucking decides to go sideways on you.
(00:58):
But anyways, today we're going to talk about some recent events, primarily Saturday night's weak ass event that happened.
And I think that's what they should rename it to.
SNWAE, Saturday night's weak ass event, if they're going to continue doing this shit.
This Netflix era thus far, three weeks in, has been fucking underwhelming to say the least.
There's been one standout thing in my opinion, or maybe two.
(01:21):
Kevin Owens and Jacob Fatu, which we're going to talk about probably I'm sure at some point.
Dude, he's too fucking good.
This is why they held off on fucking having him open his mouth because he's so godlike on the mic dude.
Yeah, he can't be...
Un-fucking-believable.
He can't be under someone. That's why they needed to do it.
And anyways, alright, we'll get to that in a second. But before we get there, if you want to follow us on social media,
(01:44):

Man, I know what you really want to say, but it's alright.
I'm going to save it. I'm going to save it.
Yeah, you can save it for later.
I'm going to save it because I don't, I feel like doing it every time makes it not special.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to just, I'm going to say it, you know, every, I'm going to parse it back a little.
(02:35):
When it comes to ring psychology, you don't need to drop a fucking power bomb every five seconds because it diminishes.
It diminishes it. So now I'm not going, I don't want to do that. I'm dialing it back.
There you go, there you go.
So go do that. But anyways, alright, what are we going to talk about first, Saturday night's week event or Jacob Fatu?
Well, I mean, he was part of main event, so.
Right, yeah, yeah, but I mean, like, do we want to?
(02:57):
So did you watch the whole thing?
Yeah, I watched the whole thing.
Okay.
So do you want to start off with the.
Yeah, I don't remember what order it was in.
It was Ray Ripley and Nia Jax.
That was first, right?
That was actually a bad match. I think it was a lot faster pace than I thought it would be.
There's a lot of butt slams and.
Yeah, I will say this, Nia Jax is more athletic than people want to give her credit for.
(03:24):
Okay, I don't know if she changed her tune in recent memory, if because, you know, with with more power wrestlers, it's slow trotting matches.
And maybe it was just because she was paired with Ray Ripley.
This thing got off to a pretty hot start where they were, you know, running into the ropes and clotheslining each other.
And it was like a well paced match. I mean, this was actually pretty fucking good.
(03:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, also, there was that whole thing.
So Hogan was supposed to be here for this.
Allegedly. Allegedly. But because of the booing incident that happened that Monday night Netflix first episode, apparently he dropped out.
And that's why Ted DiBiase was there because they still wanted to have some sort of like, I don't know, nostalgia act or whatever.
(04:11):
And we have returning Jesse Ventura. Yeah.
So like we got we got both, which was that.
See, that's like some of the stuff that they're doing that's like kind of cool, but like it also sucks because you're getting eating time for the nostalgia acts.
And then not highlighting certain people like there was only four fucking matches on this thing.
(04:33):
And and no title changes, no, no, no title changes at all.
So massive tease for leading into Royal Rumble. Oh, yeah, definitely.
But yeah, then we had Bron Breaker and Sheamus after that.
No, it wasn't. Was it?
It was. I don't know. Oh, sorry. I think it said Bron Strohman. My brain. No. My ADHD brain. Bron Breaker.
(04:57):
Yeah, you're right. What the fuck would they do that for?
You can't have two assholes with the same name.
That's very like Bron. Yeah, sure, it's spelled differently, but that's very confusing.
It is. My ADHD brain was trying to figure out, was trying to parse what you were fucking saying.
Yeah, it's a Bron Breaks. It already confused you. Yeah.
(05:18):
And then I got confused. And then we were like, oh shit, Bron Breaker versus Sheamus. That did happen.
That happened. Intercontinental title match. Yeah. What do you think about that one?
It was it was shit. I'm trying to recall it because it's been a couple of days.
Yeah, it's been like three days because it was Saturday. Today's fucking Monday going into Tuesday.
Dude, I don't know if I remember it all that well. I don't know if that's a discredit to both of them or it's just that.
(05:47):
I don't know if there was any standout moments that I could talk about because I can't remember even what the finish was.
Bron Breaker throws his foot atop the rope. And then the ref gave a three count.
Sheamus thought he won. And then how does the match end?
I think he speared him. Yeah. And then it fucked him up or whatever. And that's how he killed him was a spear.
(06:13):
I got to say there was way too many goddamn spears. I'm really tired of that as a finisher or even just in a fucking in a in a wrestler's repertoire of wrestling moves.
I just can't fuck with I can't fucking hang with it. It's too old. Yeah, it's too. It's too. It's played out. Yeah, it is.
They should have called this Saturday Night Spear event. That's what it should have been called. Dude, honestly, it was spears like every and that's how is that everybody's fucking finisher now almost like I don't know.
(06:44):
It's insane. I don't know. I think we've gone back to that point.
Like you remember how like there was that period where OK, like the super kick was was like, oh, no, but like spears like everybody would just kick out of that shit.
Right. Now we've gone to like the inverse of that. We're now everyone's doing everyone's finisher is a spear and everyone's also kicking out.
And then it's like, well, what the fuck is the point of everybody doing all these moves for? Yep. And it doesn't make any sense.
(07:06):
But yeah, that match was whatever. I didn't really remember a lot of it either.
But then we had what I thought was an interesting segment was the Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens contract sighting.
Well, what about it was particularly interesting to you? For me, I love that Cody sucks eggs shirt that fucking Kevin Owens wearing.
(07:27):
Yeah, that's I want that shirt, man. I hope that's available for sale.
And if not, W.W. you're fucking up. That's such a classic fucking insult or whatever the fuck it is.
I'll teach your mother to suck eggs. You're like, it's like classic fucking thing. Yeah.
So simple. It is. And fucking there was there was a moment at the beginning like Shawn Michaels.
(07:51):
Dude's old, right? He's old. He's beat the fuck. Dude, his I don't know if it was this bad when he was in towards the end of his career, if it was this bad.
But he's become bow legged, dude. Like he looks like a cowboy that just got off the saddle. Yeah.
It's it's interesting. Yeah, I think it's to be honest with you, I think it's because of his probably bad fucking hips and knees.
(08:15):
Well, it's that it's for sure he had bad and it's his back and it's everything just goes downhill from there once your back starts fucking up.
Yeah. But yeah, I know he's had like surprise some knee surgeries and shit. Yeah.
But I have a feeling that it's got something to do with he was he was one of those guys that was built like he did a little bit of steroids.
All right. Like he didn't a little bit of the juice. He wasn't abusing it.
(08:37):
But you could tell like, all right, you look better than any normal guy who doesn't use steroids, even even as weightlifting should.
Especially for being on the road like that. And especially at the time he was doing it, it was insane.
And like so you're saying he he did it around the time when he was well, shit.
What time do you pin this happening? Starting to use the juice like because he was on Playgirl.
(09:03):
Yeah, I would say that was in like 96. I'm talking like 97, like 97 when he was in DX.
You could tell he was a lot like maybe even that first title run in 96 when he first had it.
That was probably like right after. I want to say because he won it at WrestleMania in 96. Right.
Like whatever April. And then I want to say by like July, he was already looking fucking like shredded shredded and more built.
(09:29):
And I just I just feel like that's when he probably started getting on the sauce.
And then the whole time when he was in DX, I mean, he looked fucking great. Don't get me wrong.
I mean, he was looking fucking a one top of his game. But that was also the time when he was fucking having those bad back problems.
Yeah. And so the back and the knee problem.
So I think that the steroids were like a side effect of OK, like if I can take some PEDs and it's not it's like the shit Roger Clemens was taking.
(09:58):
Right. Where it's not going to make you super shredded, but it's going to help you recover faster.
So like because he's working out, it's helping him recover faster.
And because he's also doing all this shit, it's helping his back and his knees maybe like recover a little faster.
But I think that eventually he caught up to him. It just caught up to him.
And then obviously he got addicted to painkillers. And then that was the whole issue with that.
But I think that that has something to do with it is like that steroid use does something to your bones.
(10:22):
I don't know if it's like an osteoporosis kind of thing. Like when you become an old man like that, you just your body just agrees.
Yeah, because like Triple H, I feel like is going to start looking like that.
But the difference being Triple H wears clothes that are too like that are kind of baggy on him.
And he looked like you can't really tell about his legs.
Shawn Michaels wears those tight fucking jeans and you can fucking see it like that.
(10:45):
Oh, dude. Yeah, yeah.
Even when he walks, you can see it there.
And I mean, dude fucking broke his body for us for fucking two decades wrestling.
So like, I mean, I get it. I'm not I'm not talking shit.
I'm just saying like, hey, as an observation, like you can tell, like, oh, it's pretty bad.
Like, it's not looking good.
And that was the thing that I wasn't sure of is if we were going to get a super kick or not as a result of his aging that if he had one more one more in him.
(11:12):
I mean, he did. He gave it to him. So, I mean, we got one more out of it.
But I had a feeling Kevin Owens was going to go for that. Shawn Michaels losing his smile.
I had a feeling that just felt like it was par for the court right there.
It's right there. Like you have to take it like you have to take that shot.
So, yeah, I really, really fucking hope they let Kevin Owens take the fucking strap, man.
(11:38):
It'd be a surprise for sure for WrestleMania.
I think you do that. And then I think now we get into a situation where Royal Rumble becomes very interesting.
Why do you say that?
Because then we know we're not going to get that Roman versus Cody for a third fucking year in a row, which is which if Cody Rhodes has the title.
(12:01):
Yeah. If he retains the title until WrestleMania, which basically this is it.
If he retains it at Royal Rumble, his next defense will be at WrestleMania.
And if that happens, if he retains this belt, it's done.
It's going to be Roman Reigns versus fucking Cody Rhodes again for a third goddamn year in a row.
(12:22):
I think if it plays out the way where Kevin Owens is champion, I think WrestleMania gets a little bit more interesting because then you can play with you have.
This is like Rocky. This is like Rocky three, which is something that they alluded to with WrestleMania 40.
Take away the titles and you just have Roman versus Cody Rhodes of who's the best between them.
(12:48):
Yeah, that that makes for, I guess, an interesting match like one on one.
Who's fucking better between no belts? Yeah, just fucking.
You can just have a grudge match.
Yeah, that's I think plays out better for WrestleMania.
And then Kevin Owens is champion is just fucking weird and interesting and it's different.
It's original. And then it sets up. OK, it sets up something else to happen, something that we're not necessarily expecting.
(13:15):
And I mean, listen, whoever wins the Rumble, it'll be very interesting to see.
I fucking swear to God, I beat John Cena.
He's so mad. But I do think John Cena is going to fit his finagle his way somehow,
obviously into WrestleMania and potentially another belt run when he gets the chance.
I'm sure it'll happen this year for this number 17.
(13:37):
It'll it may be only a 30 day run, but it'll be a run nonetheless, just to break the record.
And I think that doing this opens up the possibility for that to not happen at WrestleMania,
at least because then that if Cody and Roman are going to fight, then the obvious choice is that if John Cena wins the Rumble,
(14:02):
he's going to go for Gunther because he ain't going to go for fucking Cena.
Well, maybe make it a triple threat match. That's another thing. I don't really want to see that either.
I don't want to see Cody and Roman again in the in the main championship match.
I also don't want to see a triple threat with the two of them or a fatal four way with the two of them CM Punk and fucking John Cena.
Because remember, there's still that favor that's owed.
(14:25):
Yeah, there is. And I think I don't know what that favor is going to be.
At this point, I don't think a title is going to do anything for the anything for Roman Reigns.
It's not going to do anything for Cody Rhodes.
Yeah. Other than having him as your face champion, which people love or whatever.
I mean, how are they feel about it? Whatever. Don't give a shit.
Point being that at this point, neither of them need the strap. Right.
(14:47):
And it's going to be an injustice to other wrestlers that could be vying for the title to build up the next star, I guess.
Yeah, I think Kevin Owens could bring something to the title picture that we haven't seen in a while.
And I think that's what we need. And put somebody over.
I mean, he's probably going to be like the stopgap champ before probably.
I mean, he'll put over, I don't know, whoever the next guy maybe is going to be.
(15:10):
Because imagine this already teasing Penta versus Brawnbreaker for Intercontinental Champion.
As it stands right now, Pentel Zero is undefeated with two and no record.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, he's faced Chad Gable and fucking that dickhead Pete Dunne.
I mean, that's like, wow, what a stellar fucking record that is.
This might be the time and I don't know if it's too soon or not.
(15:33):
But as far as like timing goes, I think it could work out that Pentel Zero can be champion for at least nine months.
He can carry the belt, make it look good and everything.
But that puts Brawnbreaker that frees him up from the title, which means that he could potentially win something along the way leading into WrestleMania.
Fuck man, I feel like it's too soon for him.
You think it's too soon?
I feel like I just feel like it's too soon.
(15:55):
Yeah, it would come across as like Tiffany Stratness.
Yeah, and I just I think that's a mistake.
I think that's a mistake because if you you pop that shit too soon and he's and he's not necessarily I wouldn't say ready for it.
But if we're not ready for it, if we don't believe this.
Yeah, I think that that that's going to not bode well for his trajectory of his career because I kind of feel like I kind of feel like that was what happened in that 20 whatever 2011 to 2014 period.
(16:26):
When you had like when they gave Finn Balor the belt for like a minute and then they gave Kevin Owens had it like once.
Oh, yeah, I feel like they weren't fucking like we I don't know if they weren't ready or if we weren't ready to see that yet.
If they still needed to spend more time in that mid card title picture for us to believe the ascent into that.
And that was at that time when the belts were going around, they were getting traded once a month.
(16:50):
And so that was also I mean, Seamus, like all those guys, I felt like they were when they got their belts the first time.
Well, Seamus, they was just I felt like it was a little too soon.
And I think they projected these guys a little higher than they maybe should have.
And, you know, I think it did affect the way it because if you look at a lot of those guys, they haven't had a title run since for the most part.
(17:11):
Yeah, it's probably been 10 years since we had those guys that had it from like 2012 to 2015.
They have not had a title run since other than John Cena. That's the only fucking one that would still have had another title run maybe after that.
But everybody else, they were like either one and done or maybe two and done.
And that's it. And I mean, the Miz, the fucking Miz has that's another one.
(17:33):
That's another one. That's a great example of a guy.
I feel like I don't think they knew what to do with all these guys.
And they were just like, oh, fuck, let's just throw them all up in the title picture and make a change once a month or once every other month to see what happens.
And they did that. And then they got the title bill. And then what happened?
They were like, oh, fuck, now we got to send them back down to the Intercontinental title or make them a tag team champion or something like that.
That's kind of what happened.
(17:54):
All right. Well, what if he wins something just to give people the nudge?
Hey, this guy's on his way to the top. He wins the elimination chamber, but he doesn't.
What is the elimination chamber get you? Is that for the for the championship or is that for SummerSlam now?
Oh, no, no, that's King of the Rings for SummerSlam.
I don't know what it is for what it is.
But my point being that you went to one of those menial pay per views that warrants you some kind of main event for either SummerSlam or WrestleMania.
(18:25):
But the dude doesn't win in either of those.
We prolong that we just keep keep fucking edging.
Yeah, keep fucking edging until the broad breaker load just fucking spews all over the place.
I also don't think Bronbreaker needs to be in a title match.
The grudge man. I mean, we need heavy fucking grudge matches.
Yeah, we need Jacob Fatu versus fucking Bronbreaker at some point.
(18:48):
And then I think we need them to to fight in the title picture, like at some point.
Oh, yeah. They need to pull Jacob Fatu back to Raw.
He's going to just be wasted on smack.
Oh, dude, it makes me cry knowing that, as I've said numerous times before, I mean, like I said, I didn't know anything about.
Jacob Fatu, as far as the independence go, or even some of the larger promotions like New Japan and shit.
(19:13):
But fuck, man, this dude is as good as it fucking gets.
Are we like transitioning over now? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like we didn't finish talking about the fucking pay per view, but it sucked ass anyway.
So, OK, all right. Well, no, no.
What was the other one? It was a good third day.
So that match was fucking terrible. It was a finish was garbage.
I wanted to kill myself after watching it.
I think I think Jey Uso was starting to wear thin on me.
(19:39):
And it's not that I would really pay attention to him all that much, but it's evident.
It's evident that his skill set in the ring and also his promo skills are somewhat limited.
Yeah, heavily, heavily limited.
(20:02):
And because I remember from the majority of the match, super kicks and spears.
Yeah. And man, at this point.
What percentage would you say that comes out of his mouth within his whole promo?
It's at least 65 percent of the time, maybe more. It might be 75 percent.
(20:26):
It's fluff. It's fluff. It's it's too much.
It's when you think about guys like CM Punk or fuck, do you?
I think Jacob Fett, too, might just cut shit off the cuff, do you like?
I think he's capable. Oh, yeah. But I'll tell you this.
I'll tell you this. OK, one of the best ones that's that's it's sort of equivalent to eat,
(20:49):
but I'm disrespecting it by comparing it to eat. Oh, here we go.
Ellie Knight. No, not that what the stone cold what?
Yeah. He said that a few times.
And then once the audience started doing it, he rarely fucking said it.
He he would say he would let them say it.
And then he'd say, like, I'm going to get me a beer and they go, what a Steve Weiser, what a bruski, what?
(21:13):
And he'd say, like, they would do it. Yeah.
He needs to come up with something that he can say that's not because or just cue the audience
with the like lifting the mic or some. Yeah, that is something that would make that promo better
because because all you're doing is just filling shit in with yeet.
And it's like if stone cold, what what every fucking five words that would fucking.
And that was all the promo was.
(21:35):
Yeah, it was like that for the first few times he did it until the audience caught on and started doing that.
But now that the audience catches on and starts doing it, OK, now you got to now you got to make it so they do it.
It's not your thing. It's their thing now.
And that's what makes it something that will last.
People still say what to this day? That's the difference between stone cold and fucking J.
Uso. Well, I was going to say Jacob Fatu and J. Uso.
So Jacob Fatu was wise enough that that promo that he cut in the ring the week before this week.
(22:01):
That shit was so good because he got the audience tricked into thinking that they could say what?
After every sentence and then he expanded upon this one sentence.
Yeah. And he just cut them off and never gave him the chance to actually.
That was a little pissed them off even more.
So he's good, man. But the match itself between Gunther J.
(22:22):
Uso, this firmly this is affirming to me that J.
Uso is mid card J.
Uso. Yeah, that I don't see him winning a main event title fucking ever.
He had it happened. Yeah, sure.
Back in the early 20s. He had it.
(22:46):
He had those chances that were granted to him and they might have been throwaway squash matches for, you know, Roman Reigns.
But as it sits right now, he is an entertaining competitor, I guess.
But he's getting carried very hard by the by the shit on both fronts,
whether that's fucking in the ring or just even verbally.
(23:12):
It's fucking it's it's hard for me to to see how much longer this is going to last,
because I think this is going to work in very quickly.
Oh, it's more than thin for me already. I mean, I'm already over it.
I'm already done with it. Yeah, it was cool.
First few times, but then like, this is a car. Come on, man.
All right, let's do something different now.
I mean, you'll still catch me saying day one ish.
(23:33):
That's something you should fuck. Yeah, sure.
We'll do it every once in a while because it's funny.
And I'm doing it in a mocking way, not a homage way.
But I don't think that I think it needs to change his name because you should not be anywhere near main events
for the rest of your fucking career or at least until you kind of like, I don't know, give us a little something extra,
(23:56):
something a little different, maybe a little something, a little something extra.
This is just fucking basically the one half of the USO's tag team by himself.
That's all it is. It's all it's been. It hasn't.
You know what's funny? You're both the fucking Jeanette's in this scenario.
OK, they're twins. Twin Jeanette's is what we got out of the USO's going solo.
All right. Either you get the band back together and fucking go back to being the USO's tag team,
(24:20):
which I which I believe I guarantee you it's coming. I'm not believing it.
I guarantee you that is coming because they're going to reshape this tag team division
once Ray Phoenix's fucking shit is up and he comes to WWE and they reform the Lucha Brothers.
That's that's what's up. That's what's happening.
All right. Whenever they do that, that's probably that's when the USO's are going to come back as a tag team
(24:43):
because they're going to need more tag teams.
But that feel that would feel like the end of their careers, because if they go back to that,
because usually when you don't really go back to that shit as a singles competitor, if you're worth your salt.
It's because neither of them were worth their salt as this is how you have to go back to it.
But at the same token. All right.
Again, there's there's the genetic and then there's the fucking Shawn Michaels.
And you do eventually come like the deadly boys eventually came back.
(25:07):
Yes, D-Von was the genetic in that scenario.
Bubba Ray went on to have a massive singles career in other organizations, not so much in the WWF or WWE,
but in other organizations, he was world champion in TNA for many, many years and multiple times.
Yeah. You had Edge and Christian, right?
Edge goes on to win multiple world championships and WWE championships and even championships in TNA and for not TNA fucking.
(25:33):
Where the fuck else he went? Christian.
Christian kind of didn't really do that well in WWE.
But hey, when he went over to TNA, he eventually became TNA champion.
He eventually became, you know, did did something there.
Big fish in a small pond, though. That's true.
That's why he was able to be still the genetic, though.
Don't get me wrong, still the genetic. But they eventually did come back together as Edge and Christian for a little bit and did a little run.
(25:57):
Matt and Jeff the Hardy boys, they're currently in another.
This is like their third or fourth resurgence is coming back together.
Good Lord. And listen, Jeff Hardy would have not Jeff Hardy would have been the fucking goddamn Shawn Michaels in this scenario if he wouldn't have been a fucking drug addict.
All right. But because he was a drug addict, he fucked up all of his chances
and had to go back to being with his with his genetic brother fucking Matt, which again, that hard is really not even that bad of the genetic in this scenario.
(26:24):
Because as a as a character, he's been much more compelling than anything Jeff Hardy's ever done in his solo career.
No. And well, yes, in a good way. Yeah.
But yeah, I don't think Jeff Hardy's the shit that's been that compelling as what Matt Hardy has broken Matt Hardy and that whole fucking thing like the Edge and lead a bullshit.
Yeah. And all that stuff like that shit was nothing's been as compelling as that, but he didn't get any recognition for it.
(26:46):
He didn't get any main championships or main title runs.
He stayed after they broke up. He stayed a cruiserweight champion. Yeah. But look who was at the top to who was going to fucking give him a chance.
No one. No one. Yeah. That's why he was the cruiserweight champion. He couldn't even get an IC or a US title out of it.
He was the cruiserweight champion. And then, you know, whatever, he went over to TNA and now he's in AEW or TNA again.
(27:08):
I don't know what the fuck they're doing. It's weird, though, because then you think about it now, the way guys look, not quite as fucking massive, more of the athletic build compared to guys like in the fucking 90s and 2000s.
They're more of the athletic build, which means that well, at least to me, maybe Jeff Hardy was the beginning of that.
(27:32):
But, yeah, I mean, there was there could have been a time if Matt Hardy, if he if if they were born 10 years fucking later, they could have been made event stars.
That's that's for sure. So you look at those three tag teams and you think, OK, they do eventually go back.
But that doesn't mean you're at the end of your rope. I mean, granted, I don't I don't think that the USOs should remain solo.
(27:57):
I think that they did better when they were together as a tag team and they did tag team wrestling.
That's what their wrestling style is, because, say what you want.
I see it. I saw it in this match, man. Fucking J Uso still wrestles like a tag team wrestler.
He still wrestles like he's like he's about to hot tag somebody. That's how like his his his shit is.
(28:19):
And there's nothing wrong with that. But you can just see that it's like one of those things of like Triple H or whoever's really calling the shots.
If you're watching and you're saying, OK, where can I best utilize this talent?
It's obviously not in main events. It's really probably not even in solo competition because the matches that the solo competitor has are not that good.
But if I throw them together in a tag team again, oh, man, all of a sudden, it's great because that's that's how he's wrestling.
(28:44):
He's wrestling like he's in a tag team match every single time.
I haven't really watched fucking Jimmy Uso solo a lot because I don't think he's really doing a lot at the juncture.
I mean, he's like he's like the fucking which one's the defective one in the the rabid Toma Tonga or Tonga Lola.
Tonal Lola. He's the defective one. Yeah. So like he's not really doing shit.
(29:06):
So like thrown back together again. I mean, even if you want to check on the thing and keep that going, go ahead.
Have both fucking do it. Just make them main event usos or whatever.
Yeah, I guess because they could be main event tag teamers. I could tell you that right now.
That's true. And they're going to need somebody.
They're going to have if they're going to have Ray, Ray Phoenix and Penta go for the title.
(29:30):
I'm telling you right now, if you had the Motor City Machine Guns, Pentel or the Lucha Brothers fucking usos and like, I don't know, you need to throw in a fourth fucking hot tag team.
In a tables out of chairs match. Well, yeah.
Well, really you can get away with it with those three guys, those three tag teams, because let's be honest, Edge and Christian, the Dudley boys and Matt and Jeff Hardy.
(29:52):
They fucking carry the tag team division from like 1999 to like 2000 fucking two.
Don't forget about the fucking world's greatest tag team. They came in 2003.
Okay. Oh, don't forget about La Resistance. Let's not forget about them. Yeah, those guys are awesome. Let's not.
Let's not fucking forget about Takamichi Noku and what's his name? The other guy.
(30:17):
Indeed, Funaki. All right. As what the fuck was their tag team name?
Kai and Tai. Kai and Tai. Yeah. Let's not forget about them.
What about the APA? Let's not forget about that fucking tag team.
Shit, I can't even remember if they actually won a title. I think they probably had it once.
They never actually won the tag team titles. Yeah, they might have. I think they were in a lot of matches though.
They were like the washed tag team. They're like, well, we don't know what to do with Farouk since World, you know, the Nation of Domination.
(30:44):
And then the Undertaker like, yeah, we don't really, or the JBL thing. We don't do these guys. Let's throw them in with the Undertaker.
And then they become the Acolytes and then they're like, oh fuck, well, this is over. Now what?
They're like, oh, let's make them like beer drinking, cigar smoking, card playing tough guys. And they'll be like mafia dudes. Yeah.
They'll be like the Enforcers. Oh, yeah, man. And we'll throw that big tit lady with them. Oh, yeah, that's a great idea.
(31:07):
And then look what happened. You got the APA and it worked out fucking great for them. Yeah.
JBL went to go on and have a massive career after that.
I mean, he did. He did chase Mexicans across the border in 2004. But I mean, what are you going to do?
I don't know. I guess it's acceptable now by this juncture. Yeah. But I mean, yeah, he had a massive fucking career.
(31:29):
And yeah, Farouk fucking still where Farouk's claim to fame is just coming on screen. Everyone's going, damn, like that.
But fuck, man, like, yeah, if you have three hot tag teams and throw in a fourth as a utility that you can put in and out, man, that tag team division will be fucking fire again.
Also, delete the other tag team belt. We only need to go back to one. Yeah. That's what I think needs to happen. Will they do it?
(31:56):
Probably not, because they don't fucking ever do anything that I say because they don't like me. So they also don't know you.
No, I used to work for that. I was a writer for them for a while and they fired me because, well, they didn't like my ideas.
And I think I had some of the greatest. Yeah. World's greatest writing team. That's what they call me. Yeah. I had the thing on my desk and everything.
So Jacob Fatu himself. Busted Braun Strowman in the ring. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, there's a difference, though.
(32:25):
I mean, he lost. He lost by. I mean, it was it was fucking DQ, though. Yeah. But OK, here's the difference between J.
Uso and the other fucker. Well, Jacob Fatu, I guess, is the other fucker.
I don't even know if it's a difference in size because I don't think they're far off. Maybe he's got probably 30 pounds, 50.
(32:47):
I don't know. I don't know how beefy Braun Strowman weight rise. No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about Jacob Fatu versus J.
Uso. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Jacob Fatu is way beefier than he's beefier. But OK, I don't know if this matters or not.
But notice how the butt slams. In the ring post or the ring corner, OK. Jacob Fatu like goes full fucking steam like a like a wildebeest, dude.
(33:11):
And yeah. And when when Jay does it, it's all.
La dee da. Oh, man, you know, it's like he's having a good time. Yeah, it's.
But when. When fucking Jacob Fatu does it, he's a fucking madman, dude.
He's crazy and he wouldn't stop. It was I think he did like I don't even know what the actual number was, but let's say it was like six or seven different butt slams in the ring.
(33:34):
And then you see fucking Braun Strowman. I don't know if he had a razor blade or what it was, but they I don't think they cut the camera quick enough.
And I think he had a blood capsule. So you start. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think they were like, oh, let's zoom in on him and they're like, oh, we're not ready. I think that and I think that might be I think that might have been due to inexperience on the camera crew.
(33:59):
And the guys in the back, maybe this like, oh, maybe they had guys that weren't the normal wrestling guys that know, OK, we can't show this. Yeah.
And then they're like, oh, oh, and then maybe it was like, what are you doing? Get out of my car.
Yeah, dude. My favorite part is him doing the two moonsaults and then he leaves the ring and then he comes back and everybody was clapping and cheering for him, dude.
(34:21):
He's so fucking over. But that pro that he cut in the fucking in the back before coming out for the entrance, he's like, Braun, you a big SOB.
But I'm about to beat your ass. It was so fucking good. Yeah, that was that was legit, man.
It was so legit. I just want to say they do have the Cody sucks a shirt. Oh, they do. It's thirty five fucking dollars.
(34:45):
I feel like you can break that. But Natix has ruined everything you can do.
You might as well make that on. What is it? Red bubble like just make it a Photoshop.
Is it just put it on there? Also, they have the Canadian dream son of a security systems technician shirt.
That's excellent. That's fucking I wear that fucking out every fucking day.
Like, God damn, that is fucking excellent. And they got the one where he fucking taped his fucking face.
(35:09):
The Lord Kevin Owens. Yeah, I hope this is actually his idea that these I feel like it is because it's got to be.
Yeah, there's no there's no way that there's some asshole going like, oh, all right, guys, I got this great idea.
What if we write a shirt that says Cody sucks a because that's an that's that's a joke from the old like back in the day.
They had a dusty sucks eggs shirt. Yeah, that's what that's like. If you are a writer and you're just a writer, you're not going to fucking know that.
(35:36):
So like I feel like this is Kevin Owens like knowing that shit. Yeah.
Oh, like, yeah, the son of a fucking security system technician. That is fucking hilarious, man.
These these fucking bros. Fifty seven ninety nine for a shorts, a pair of shorts. Who who does that?
I can't even believe this. This is so sad. This is fanatics material, right?
(36:00):
Yeah, because they run the WWE shop. It's like all by fanatics. That is a.
That's a big pass, man. Ever since they announced that.
I'm pretty sure the quality of shirts went down immediately and they're charging just as much fuck.
And this is a special fucking order. This Kevin is the Cody sucks egg shirt. It's a limited time off.
(36:23):
It's a special event. This is a special event item. Orders contain this project will be shipped separately.
This item will be shipped no later than February 21st. Jesus Christ.
Oh, look at that. You can get free shipping with this code. Apply code here.
Oh, wow. I got free shipping on this thirty five dollar fucking shirt.
That's such a bullshit thing. That's like a placebo effect.
They're telling you, oh, man, you get the same on shipping, but it actually would have cost just the same if you if you would have just paid less like you have to charge you less for the shirt.
(36:50):
That sucks, man. Anyways, but yeah, fuck them.
Jacob, that too, man. He's the bomb, dude. He's the best. I kick his ass from post to post on NBC from coast to coast.
What what a what a sick ass fucking line, dude. That is man.
That is that is excellent. And it's the delivery.
And then he apparently somebody pointed out that that line where he says, yeah, I mean, that's a Bay Area thing.
(37:17):
So I don't know. I guess that's kind of like leaking out into his personality.
This is ring persona. Interesting. Here's what I want to see at WrestleMania.
Two years from now, two years from now. Why? Why two years from now?
Why not fucking five or three? No, I think I think two years from now.
I think that I think that Bron Breaker to maybe two to three years, Bron Breaker and Jacob Fett, who will be ready. This is what I want to see.
(37:47):
I want to see at WrestleMania. I want to see the title be vacant.
I want to see Royal Rumble. I want to see the two of them be the last two guys.
And they fucking both go over somehow at the same time.
And then the belt's vacant. It was supposed to be for the belt. So they're like, oh, they're both.
Oh, they can't be both champion. They'll say, oh, I know. Fine.
(38:09):
Since you both won the Royal Rumble at WrestleMania, you two are going to fight for the championship.
So there's no one going into this as the champion and they're going to fight in like this fucking death defying fucking just like beat fest.
They're going to beat the fuck out of each other.
And then one of them is going to win. And then the oh, like, I don't know.
I'm sure Jacob Fatt will probably be the heel in this in this scenario. Bron Breaker might be the fucking face.
(38:33):
I don't know how that dude is ever going to work as a face. Who? Bron Breaker? Yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I mean, I guess you'll have to or someone's going to have to or maybe they'll both be heels.
Who knows? But they're going to fight.
And then one of them is going to win. And then the other one's going to be fucking chasing them or maybe be ashamed and go to the other show and fucking win the other belt.
I don't know. That'd be cool as fuck to see like them fight each other.
(38:57):
Also, I'd like to see fucking Jacob to fight CM Punk or Seth Rollins or, you know, he's come back.
He's come to raw. Like, that's what we need.
I think if there's if it might be the Matt Hardy thing, this guy's too fucking good.
And they have too many people. Well, I don't know if they have too many people at the top, but they're like, we can't bury CM Punk yet.
(39:18):
We can't bury Seth Rollins. We can't do Roman Reigns.
It's John Cena's last year. We can't bury him.
Actually, I mean, it's his job. He should be getting buried this whole last year.
If there was somebody that should bury him to put put Jacob Fatu over, it should be John Cena.
Yeah, John Cena. I think that I think that'll solidify fucking Jacob Fatu is like, oh, shit, he ended John Cena's career.
(39:44):
Dude, that would be awesome. That would be fucking sick. At the end of the year, he fucking beats him to death.
Like Brock Lesnar beat him to death, but he didn't end his career.
Jacob Fatu beat him to death. And he was like, like for the last three months, maybe have him go on this whole campaign about, you know what, guys, I'm going to stick it out for one more year.
I'm going to keep going. I felt great this year.
And then at the end of the year, Jacob Fatu beats the fuck out of him and he kills him and then he never comes back.
(40:10):
He has to retire because he beat him so bad. That's how you put a dude over, man. Yes.
And that's how you sell that invincibility. So that's what I'm guess. That's what I'm hoping for. Yes. Indeed.
Anyways, we got anything else? No, I think at the moment, even by a slim margin, it's really just one person.
Smackdown has my vaguest, my vaguest interest. Yeah. A minutia of fucking interest simply for the fact that Jacob Fatu is the draw now.
(40:41):
It's it's so obvious. It's so fucking obvious that Sola Sokoa. Look at that. Look at that, dude.
Jacob Fatu, somebody that's a seasoned veteran that owned his craft across multiple promotions and Jacob Fatu, who was just.
Waltz into fucking W.W.E. got to be on the main roster, obviously, is not ready straight away.
(41:09):
But the minute Jacob Fatu opens his fucking mouth, fucking Dunzo, it's gold. You can't teach it. No, you can't.
And he's he's and you can't teach that. That's just the bottom line.
You can't. And how do you think he's a main event?
I know they're going to do it way too soon. I think I feel like two years is like a good time frame for him because he because he really hasn't been.
(41:36):
He's just been solo. Right. Like, yes, this is now this 2025.
He's now kind of going solo. And I think they're probably going to do it.
I think they're probably going to put him in a main event championship match.
It'll probably be this year. It'll probably be in 2025. I hope so.
I mean, sometimes sometime in the in the mid like I feel like July on is when they'll do it.
(42:01):
Like sometime maybe in like the fall.
Could be Survivor Series. I don't know. But something like or maybe even some of that. Fuck. Maybe they'll win.
He's probably going to win the king of the ring and then that'll give him a shot at SummerSlam.
Yeah, maybe that would make sense. So, I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see.
So. But anyways, I'm rooting for him. That's for sure.
