Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, we had a much livelier crowd in Greenville tonight
that we did in Louisville last week. This was a
hot crowd for the final raw before Saturday Night's main
event this weekend, and honestly, after a great opening tag
team match, it wasn't a whole lot to get excited
about on this show tonight until the closing moments where
we had a big brawl at the very end with

(00:23):
a surprise appearance from CM Punk, who was in a
tag team match on Saturday Night's main event this coming weekend.
And actually it was two stories in one because we
had Cmpunk coming out along with Sammy z Ain brawling
off with Seth Rollins and Brown Breaker that's the match
on Saturday. As they brawled off into the crowd, that

(00:44):
left the focus on Jay Usso in the ring, who
got blindsided for a fourth time by Logan Paul knocked
out for a fourth time. Not that I really gave
Logan Paul much of a chance this weekend coming in
to this show tonight, but certainly coming out of it,
I don't really think that improves his chances of walking

(01:05):
out as the World heavyweight Champion. Two more women have
qualified for money in the bank. In a few weeks,
we had some women qualify on SmackDown Friday Night tonight.
It was Rhea Ripley and it was Roxane Perez, who
is officially now a full time member of the Monday
Night Raw roster. She has been flirting with the main

(01:26):
roster now for several months. It was made official earlier
today that she is officially now on Monday Nights. But
the big story coming out of that match involving Rhea Ripley,
they have their money in the bank. Triple Threat qualifiers.
It was Rhea Ripley, it was the returning Kyrie Sayin,
who just came back from an injury that kept her

(01:47):
out for many many months. And Zoe Stark, who it
would appear, is about to be out for many many
months with a very serious injury. She suffered a just
an nasty injury in that match, and I'll talk more
about it when we get there, but that really cast

(02:07):
a dark shadow over the rest of this show when
that happens, So again we'll get into that when we
get to that part. On the whole, I would say
a solid show, nothing really that you need to go
out of your way to see. Definitely not that Zoe
Stark injury. I would not go out of my way
to see that. Talk about this show here. This is

(02:28):
your raw on Netflix review for May nineteen. Oh yes
it's me nineteenth May nineteenth, Caine somewhere he's hearing a
ringing in his ears. I'll tell you what, you know,

(02:49):
as shitty as you want to say, those movies were
best movie promotion ever. Because we're still talking about this.
I say we, I mean some of us are talking
about this all these years later. What year did that
movie come out? What year did Sino Evil come out?
That had to be what two thousand and five, two
thousand and six, and we're still here talking about May nineteen. Now,

(03:13):
if only the movie quality could have lived up to,
you know, the great promotion for this movie, then maybe
they would have had something. Although they did come out
with a sequel, they did do a second one. But yes,
it is May nineteen, twenty twenty five. I am the
solemn monster. Don't say that date. I know, I know,
I just said it. Bad things are gonna happen. Let

(03:33):
me just remind you before we get into the show tonight,
to go back and check out episode nine thirteen of
the sound off dropped just yesterday over two hours, including
two Dark Side of the Ring reviews as I play
catch up, one on Eddie Gilbert, the other on Billy
Jack Haynes crazy sob that he is, so go check

(03:54):
that out this week. Actually, tomorrow night is the episode
on Daphne, which should be the same episode the most
depressing episode of the entire season. Probably should be the
season finale, honestly, but they're going with Muhammad Hassan next week.
That's gonna be the season finale. I will be working
on a review this week on the original Chic episode

(04:14):
which aired last week, and then we'll be all caught up.
So if you're into the Dark Side of the Ring stuff,
be sure to go ahead and check that out. But
let's get into the Monday Night Raw stuff. How about
that talk about Logan. Paul Logan, Paul is gonna be
challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship this coming Saturday. But
he was out first here to open this episode of
Monday Night Raw, and he said, Now, he was hyping

(04:34):
this up the last couple of days on social media,
and he was saying, They're gonna let me go out
there and cook I'm gonna go on wrong. I'm gonna cook.
So Chef Paul came out to the ring to address
the audience. He said, it's a fact that he will
beat Jay Usso on Saturday. He will become the new
World heavyweight champion. Yeah, I pointed out it was this Saturday.

(04:57):
I think is a year ago almost to the day.
I think it's off by maybe one day, but it
was gonna be a year ago this weekend. That Logan
challenge for the WWE Championship and he lost, and now
he's going to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship and
he's going to lose again. But he's claiming it's a
fact that he's going to walk out with that title

(05:18):
and when he shows up on Raw next Monday, he'll
have that belt. So he started yelling at the crowd
that the crowd erupted into yeat chance and he was
trying to talk over them. He was trying to shout
them down. He said Jay can't handle the weight of
being champion. He said the biggest fact of all, though,
is that he has knocked out Jay Usso three times,

(05:38):
and he started to say that he would knock him
out again on Saturday and become the new champion. When
he was interrupted by Gunther's music and out comes the
former world heavyweight champion to the ring. He said, Logan
seemed very confident about beating the man who beat him
for the world heavyweight title, and he assumed that meant
that Logan believes that he can beat Gunther. So gun

(05:59):
Through praised him. He started to lavish praise on him,
and he's praising him as a self created social media
star who built his own empire all by himself. He
said that there, you know, there are things that I
can learn from you, he said, and Logan started to smile.

(06:20):
He says, see, this man knows what he's talking about.
He said, Logan winning the championship would be great for business,
he says, and Gunter says, it's business to you, but
for me, it's very personal. And he talked about beating
Jay to regain the title and said that he would

(06:40):
feel disrespected if Logan were to take that away from him.
So Gunter said that he sees no heart when he
looks in Logan's eyes. And he said that if he
and Logan meet for the title on June ninth, because
again that title match is taking place, not at Money
in the Bank. Two days after in the Bank, that

(07:00):
first raw coming out of the pl that's when they're
doing Gunther against the winner of this match on Saturday.
But when he meets him on June ninth, if he does,
he's going to eat Logan alive, he says, And then
he left the ring. So then Jay Usso gets into
the ring. Now Logan Paul doesn't know this though, because
Logan's back is turned and he's looking in the direction

(07:21):
of gun Thro who's leaving. Crowd starts to go wild,
and we couldn't tell at first why they were going wild,
but then we saw that Jay Usso appeared behind him
in the ring, and when Logan turned around, jay dropped
him with a superkick. And then he took the mic
and he said, it's a fact that he will see
Logan on Saturday, and then he will be the one
to see Gunther in Phoenix. It's smart for them to

(07:44):
play up the possibility of a Gunther Logan Paul match,
you know, giving us that face to face tonight. Actually
we got that. If you go back to the beginning
of the year, when they were gearing up for the
raw on Netflix debut and they had that little I
don't know what you would call it or whatever it
was at WWE headquarters and they trotted a bunch of

(08:04):
people out. I think it was even there that was
the first time that we either had an interaction between
them or Gunther was asked about him. He started cutting
a promo a logan Paul. So they actually were teasing
this as a potential match even at the beginning of
the year. But to see them out there in the
middle of the ring like this, you know, face to face,
addressing each other, it just sets up the possibility in

(08:26):
the eyes of some people that maybe this is going
to be the match, you know, in a few weeks
for the Championship, maybe makes the match on Saturday a
little less predictable, But I think most people know better.
I think we know how that's going to be ending
on Saturday. They aired footage of Tyrese Halliburton and Jalen

(08:48):
Brunson of the NBA taking part in a SmackDown angle
late last year, and then they showed a tweet on
screen from Triple Ah saying it's almost like we wrote
it and what this is in reference to this coming Wednesday.
I believe is it? Is it Wednesday? Yeah? I think

(09:10):
it's Wednesday right the Eastern Conference Finals start. It's the
New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. Jalen Brunton plays
for the Knicks. Tyrese Haliburton plays for the Pacers. And
so now we're actually gonna be getting them, you know,
basically toe to toe on the court in triple Ah
just saying, oh, it's like we wrote this in advance.
It's like we booked this storyline here. So that's gonna

(09:31):
be a big deal. I could tell you it's gonna
be a big deal here in New York. They were
going crazy in the streets in Manhattan the other night.
I could only imagine what's gonna happen if the Knicks
actually pull off this win. So, but you know what,
I feel bad for the NBA. I feel bad for
the NBA because you know they're going up against Dynamite
on Wednesday. I mean, they don't stand a chance. That's

(09:53):
gonna be I mean, that's gonna be tough competition for
the NBA. I mean, if you got to juggle one
or the other, I mean, come on, what are you
gonna choose? We're getting to face to face between will
Ospray and Hangman Page on Wednesday before they're a big
match at double or nothing next weekend. You think people
will get it tuned into Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton
over Hangman and will Ospray Kamanda. It's an easy choice.

(10:19):
Michael Cole said. Halliburton would have an announcement to make
later in the show, and my mind began to wander.
I'm wondering, you know what, what is what is this announcer?
Are we really gonna end up getting like a Malone
Rodman thing all over again in this series? Are they
gonna get tangled up on the court It's like they

(10:40):
did back in the day. Hey, you never know, it's possible.
We had aj Styles. This right here was the best
match on the entire show. We had aj Styles and
we had Penta taking on Finn Balor and JD McDonough
representing the Judgment Day. Carlito was out in the Judgment

(11:02):
Day's corner. But for the second straight week, there was
no Dominic Mysterio and there was no Intercontinental champion out there.
Michael Cole said, you know, people think don maybe getting
a little too big for his breeches, is what he said.
There was an owen Hart reference early in this match
by Pat. Shout out to Pat McAfee dropping some knowledge

(11:24):
on those who may not know he dropped an owen
Hart reference. There was a spot here that McDonough did.
It was. It was the the old Owen He did
the arm wrenge into the kip up, you know, as
part of his arsenal, and so JD did it here
and Pat gave a shout out to owen Hart for that,
so that was nice. Styles got the better of McDonough

(11:46):
early on until JD forwarded a drop kick attempt. Styles
connected with a drop kick after that and he tagged him. Penta,
who gave McDonough a backbreaker Ballor got the same. Styles impented.
They threw Balor and mc donnah outside and then connected
with stereo splashes. So that took us into the commercial break.
When the show came back, McDonough was working over Penta,

(12:08):
who eventually got a hot tag to Styles and the
crowd exploded. They were hot for this. Styles lifted Balor,
Balor raked the eyes. Though McDonough tagged in, mcdonah went
for a splash Styles moved and McDonough hit Balor instead
by accident on the landing. With McDonagh now on the outside,

(12:28):
Styles moon salted off the apron to the floor, and
as he Moon salted off the apron to the floor,
he grabbed JD on the way down for a scorpion
death drop. So he rolled McDonough back into the ring,
but with the referees attention elsewhere, Carlito grabbed Aj from behind,
rammed him face first into the ring post and they
went to commercial break number two. Here in this match

(12:51):
back live, Balor worked over Aj. The two of them
closelined each other at the same time, so they went down.
We had a reset McDonough and Pena. They tagged them.
Penta landed crossbody off the top, then he ran at McDonough.
Mcdonogough hit a standing Spanish fly baller tagged and he
went to the top. He missed the kuda grass. Penta
capitalized on that hit a sacrifice, wrenched the arm back.

(13:14):
Penta went to the top and JD distracted the referee.
Carlito cut Penta off and at this point things broke
down at ringside. Penta hit a destroyer McDonough out on
the floor. He spiked him on the floor outside and
as Penta now is resting, he's leaning up against the barricade,
we see that El Gande Americano has appeared in the

(13:36):
crowd in the front row and he delivers a head
butt to the back of Penta's head with the loaded mask.
So Penta goes down. Balor sees this. He takes advantage
of it. He rolls Penta back into the ring. He
hits the coudigrass and he pins Penta to win it
for the judgment day, so they gave them time. This
went through two commercial breaks, almost twenty minutes this way,

(14:00):
and it was nice to see the crowd hot for it,
because again, the crowds really for Raw and Smacked. I
don't know where they were on Friday, but the crowds
for Ryan SmackDown last week were just comtos and I
can't even put that all on the crowds. I didn't
think Raw or smack Down for the most part. You know,
they had their moments. Tiffany and Aya. Honestly, on Friday

(14:21):
was actually turned out to be a great match, but
they're really you know, except for a few things here
and there, there really wasn't a lot to get too
excited about last week. So again I can't put that
all on the fans, but they were very quiet. And
that's one thing you cannot say about this crowd here
in Greenville tonight. But they love this. I did too.
This was a fun match. Now, Look, I'm not a

(14:42):
fan of Penta eating losses. I feel like he's lost
a few recently. He did beat Chad Gable last week,
but you know, he fell a backlash, and you know,
obviously he didn't win at WrestleMania either. So I'm not
a fan of him sustaining losses like this. But clearly
this is part of a story that they're telling with

(15:04):
Elgonde Americano. He's frustrating him and screwing him over at
every turn. This is going to build something at World's
Collide in a few weeks, whether it's one on one,
whether they do a Lucha Brothers reunion in WWE, and
we have Penta and Phoenix taking on Elgonde Americano and
somebody else, maybe Dominic Mysterio. But this is leading to

(15:25):
something on that World's Collide show, and presumably Penta will
be getting his payoff very soon now, Logan. Paul was
shown talking on his phone in the back when Seth
Rollins walked up to him, and Rollins tells Logan that
jay Uso will get hurt tonight because he stuck his
nose in Seth's business. And Seth said that comes Saturday,

(15:48):
as opposed to come Tuesday, Uso won't be one hundred percent,
so the odds will be in Logan's favor. And Seth
said that if Paul can get past jay Usso, and
if he can get past Gunther on June ninth, Seth
will be waiting on the other side for him. He said,
Logan will know who to thank if he wins this weekend.
And he said, you and meet can run it back

(16:08):
from WrestleMania a couple of years ago, only this time
it'll be for the World Heavyweight Championship, So think about it,
and he left and he gave Logan something to ponder.
Then we had our first of two women's Money in
because it was all women's Money in the Bank qualifying
matches tonight. The men's will not kick off on this

(16:30):
show until next week, so our first of two women's
Money in the Bank qualifiers, both triple threat matches This
one had Becky Lynch, It had an Italia who lost
to Kenzie Page this past weekend at the NWA show
in a match for the NWA Women's World Championship, and
Roxane Perez. And as I mentioned earlier, Roxanne is now

(16:53):
officially a full time member of the Raw Roster. She's
a full blow Raw Roster member, just like Roman Reins
once threatened to make Sammy's ain a full blown oose
if Jay Uso fucked up one more time. That was
poor Jay. That was a segment where he just had
nowhere to go. He was cracking up. He was trying

(17:16):
so hard to keep it together. He had nowhere to go.
And Roman Reins that prick puts his arm around his
cousin and forces him to face forward and look at
the fans as this man is about to burst, and
he says, I'm gonna make this man a full blown oose.
See to me, that was the peak that right there,

(17:37):
that segment, that was the peak of the Bloodline. It
peaked on that night, one of the best segments they've
done in at least a decade. So Julia is on SmackDown.
They made that official on Friday, so I assumed because
they broke them up after their match last week, Julia
being unsmacked that I figured Roxane's gonna end up on

(17:58):
raw and so now they made it a fit so Becky.
At the beginning of this match here, she was trying
to convince Roxanne to go after Natty, and as she
was about to, she quickly turned on Roxanne, who threw
Becky to the outside. Becky pulled Natalia out of the ring,
and Becky versus Roxanne singles match basically broke out. She

(18:18):
attempted to disarm her, Perez worked out of it, and
the two of them traded pen attempts back and forth.
Perez had the upper hand and Natty dropped kicked Roxanne
out of the ring before going to work on Becky
the series of sup plexes. Natty worked a surfboard on
Becky for a few seconds. There, she went for a sharpshooter,
Becky countered out of it into a disarm her. All

(18:41):
three women wound up outside and it looked like there
was a little bit of miscommunication here with Becky and Roxanne,
and Becky was waiting for her to get into the
right position. After a break, Natty landed a discus clothes
line on both women. She stacked them up. She was
trying for a double sharpshooter, but they fought out of it.
Roxanne set up for pop rocks, but Becky countered into

(19:03):
a manhandle slam. Natalia reappeared. She took out Becky and
all three women were down. Roxanne went to the top,
Becky cut her off, and the two of them were
fighting on the middle rope until Natty ran in and
collided them together, and then Natty powerbomb Becky for a
two count. She superplexed Roxy for a two count, and

(19:23):
then Natty locked in a sharpshooter until Becky bulldogged Natty
out of it. Natty clotheslined her and went back to Roxanne,
and then Natalia worked a double sharp. Now they weren't stacked,
they were next to each other, but she worked a
double simultaneous sharpshooter spot here and that got a big

(19:44):
pot from the crowd. Crowd like that. Lynch got out
of it, though, rolled to the outside. Becky came back
and hit a manhandle slam on Natty. If you could
call it that, I mean it looked like they just
fell over. Didn't look very good. They sort of fell
down and it looked like Becky was going to win
when Lyra Valkyria appeared. She flew in and Lyra attacked Becky.

(20:08):
Perez took advantage and delivered pop Rocks to Natty to
win the match and qualify for money in the bank
as Lyra took the fight to Becky in the aisleway.
This was a good match, a few rough spots, but
good stuff on the whole and the right call having
Roxane over. I was very happy they had Roxanne go
over and surprise Frankly, but I guess I shouldn't have

(20:32):
been though, you know, you would have expected in a
match like this, after what Becky did to Lyra and
this being no DQ, why wouldn't Lyra make her return
this week? Like we didn't know coming out of Backlash,
if she seriously injured her nose or she was just
selling because she wasn't on the show last week, So
it should have, you know, barring an injury that she

(20:54):
may have sustained, it shouldn't have been really all that
much of a surprise to see her get involved here.
So I'm glad rock Sand went over. Look at the
year she's had so far right. She has been flirting
with the main roster now for the entire year. Ever
since the beginning of the year. She was there, then
she wasn't. She was back in NXT doing stuff. But
she started the year the Royal Rumble match. She set

(21:17):
the all time record well over an hour for longest
Rumble performance. I think she was the runner up in
the Rumble. This year. She ended up in the elimination
Chamber match, had a really good performance there, didn't win it,
but looked really good. Then she vanished and went back
to NXT. But now she's going to be in her
first money I believe her first money in the Bank

(21:39):
Ladder match. I'm almost positive it's her first because again
she's flirted with the main roster off and on. But
this is big for her, you know, now she has
the chance to go out there. Could she win. It's
possible she could. I'm not expecting her to, but we
don't know the full field yet. But this is a
very big spot for her and as far as Natty.

(22:00):
In this match, Nattie looked like she had something to
prove out there. We don't get to see her on
TV as Offen anymore, which is understandable because there's a
lot of women on that roster, and a lot of
women nipping at her heels waiting to come up from NXT,
a lot of new blood, a lot of you know,
big women stars that people are very excited about in

(22:20):
NXT for example, like a Soul Ruka that people are
waiting to see, Jordan Gray, Stephanie Decker. And so Natty's
been there forever, and you know, she's obviously not involved
in any kind of active story right now, so she'll
get her opportunities here and there where she can. And
this just felt like, Okay, I want to make the
most she's She's been doing more stuff outside of WWE lately,

(22:45):
she did stuff in blood Sport, she just wrestled this
weekend for Billy Corgan on an NWA show. Maybe she'll
be doing more stuff in the future. So she made
the most of it. Not surprising that she took the
losing fall here. That's what I would have expected because
it would I certainly if all the three people in
this match, the one who I did not expect to
qualify for Mondy in the bank was Natty, So that

(23:07):
part of it wasn't a surprise. But this is a
good match on the whole. Now, they put a graphic
up with some footage from an episode of Raw in
June of twenty twelve, so it's only a few months
after Sena lost to the Rock in their first match
of WrestleMania twenty eight and it was John Cena beating

(23:31):
Michael Cole in a no disqualification match. This was back
when Michael Cole I guess was still doing his heel
stick and John Cena put barbecue sauce all over his
body Cole's body, not his own body. That would be weird.
If John Cena began to rub barbecue sauce all over

(23:52):
his body in the middle of the show, I would
wonder about that guy. But he poured Jr's barbecue sauce
all over and he beat the hell out of him,
and then he put him in the STF and actually
seen it was also then partially covered in barbecue sauce. Now,
of course I sit here and I am regaling you
with this story, and it sounds very weird, But of course,
in light of what we know about Vince McMahon, when

(24:14):
you really think about it, it's not all that we
Actually it's very disturbing is what it is. Because I
can only imagine as he was sitting in the back
on headset in the gorilla position, watching these men rubbing
barbecue sauce all over themselves, what Vince must have been
thinking at the time. He was probably getting very excited
about this. This man is sick. But yeah, the heel

(24:38):
Michael Cole stuff was fucking terrible, and once Jerry Lawler
had his heart attack on TV, the one good thing
to come out of that is that that was pretty
much the end of Michael Cole as a heel on
this show. So I would rather not be reminded, frankly,
of all those awful bomens. But since I guess that
happened here in Greenville, which is why they were showing

(25:01):
this footage, because it's like, why would they be showing
this footage randomly here on RAW because this was the
city where this took place. But Michael Cole on commentary
said that it was embarrassing, but not nearly as embarrassing
as what heiden Reich did to him, and I said,
my god, we had a heiden Reich mentioned on this

(25:25):
show for another segment, speaking of the disturbing, fucking guy
that Vince McMahon is. I try to block that out
of my mind as much as possible. I get an
odd question about it for the show every now and then.
What was this? What was the purpose of this segment?
Was it supposed to go anywhere? Was it gonna lead

(25:46):
to anything? I don't know, I don't care, and I
don't want to ever hear about it ever again. But
Michael Cole actually name dropped Heiden Rank on this show,
and the less said about that, the better. We come
back live and Adam Pearce is talking with Akira Tozawa
and Maxine Dupree in the back in his office, and
Pierce confirms that Tozawa was medically cleared. He goes, all right, well,

(26:09):
if this is the match you want, you're medically cleared.
So next week you get your singles match with Russev.
Because Russev, of course beat the hell out of Otis,
who was not on this show, and now Tozawa has
to stand up for Otis and he wants to take
on Russev. So rest in peace, Tozawi. He will get
his match next week. Chad Gable and Ivy Nile show

(26:29):
up and Gable laughs at the thought of what Roussev
is going to do to Tozawa. He said it would
be nice to see Alpha Academy put down for good.
So Tozawa got upset and Maxine told him, look, he's
not worth it, so they left. Gable said that the
Creed Brothers have their tag team title match next week,
but what about money in the bank qualifiers for him

(26:50):
and for Ivy Nile, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Wood showed up.
Gable said that look, I mean no offense, but Creeds
are going to win those titles next week, and Kofe
said maybe. He said we could all agree though, that
we don't want the war Raiders to end up with
those titles, and Pierce booted them all out of his office.

(27:11):
So that will be taking place next week. It's going
to be a triple threat match for the tag team titles.
It'll be the New Day, it'll be the war Raiders
and it will be the Creed Brothers. Next Monday night,
we had Seamus one on one with Grayson Waller. Seamus
did an interview with The Daily Mail and he was

(27:32):
very upset. He was just being honest and said he
was very upset about being left off the WrestleMania card
this year, as he should be. You know, frankly, if
you're not upset about being left off a show like WrestleMania,
which is two nights now, then there's something wrong with you.
And Seamus is a guy who has many WrestleManias to

(27:52):
his name, and many even great WrestleMania matches to his name.
I remember one in particular he had with Matt Riddle
where I think he either booted or kneed the shit
out of Riddle there at the finish that still stands
out in my head. That might have been wrestled Media
thirty seven. I think that might have been the first
media where they opened it up after COVID. But Seamus

(28:15):
has had lots of great matches before, lots of wrestle
media appearances. But unfortunately they left him off the card
this year, and we haven't really seen too much of
him since then. So he came out here for this
match with Waller. Seamus hit a backbreaker, he bealed Waller
across the ring, Seamus clotheslined him over the top, then
stepped outside and Austin Theory was out there. He distracted

(28:36):
Seamus and Waller made the best of it. He threw
Seamus into the announced desk. The show came back from
a commercial break, Waller slapped, punched, chopped Seamus. All that
did was anger him. All that did was wake him up. Yes,
the Winston slip says a shameful thing. I agree, it

(29:01):
is a shameful thing. Lobster head, too many limes, it was.
It was a terrible thing when they brought his music
back just to take it away from him two weeks later.
It's like they did it on purpose. So anyway, he
is being chopped and he's being slapped, and he's just

(29:24):
staring this man in the face. He gives it right
back to him and Waller went to the middle rope.
He jumped right into a niche strike from Seamus that
got followed up with a weird I don't know what
this was. This was like a weird tilted world Slam
that Seamus. I don't know if this is some new
move he was trying, or he forgot what he was
doing mid move. But don't do it again. Seamus ran

(29:47):
into a spinning elbow from Waller, and with Seamus on
the apron, Waller went for the ten beats. Seamus, though,
was not having any of that, and this led to
Seamus setting up for ten beats himself. Waller snuck away.
So Waller's like, you know what, fuck this, I'm done
with this, and he goes to leave and his own partner,
Austin Theory, stops him and he says, what are you doing?

(30:08):
You can't leave, and so they're arguing. As a result,
Seamus did get to do the ten beats. Theory was
laughing at this, and Sham has hit the bro kick
for the win. So the sloth like breakup between Austin
Theory and Grayson Waller continues. I don't even know it

(30:32):
continues with no payoff, and I suspect we will get
a payoff at some point in the years to come.
And when that payoff comes, and I'll speak for myself here,
I won't give a shit. And I can only hope,
for the sake of Austin Theory in his future that
there are some fans who will give a shit, because
I'm not one of them, because they have dragged this

(30:55):
out for far too long. Now for Seamus, I thought
he looked great here. Now I say, let's get this
man that Grand Slam title that he wants. He's earned it.
He's not getting any younger. I know he signed a
five year contract a year or two ago, but look,
he's not getting any younger. He's got spinal stenosis. You
don't know how many more good years you've got left

(31:17):
in Shamus. They have to get to this story soon.
Give this man that intercontinental title that he wants. It's
a great story there to be told. Doesn't even have
to be a WrestleMania story, but there's a great story
there to be told if they just get to it now.

(31:38):
Michael Cole and Pat McAfee they made a bet cut
to the announcers or ringside, and they made a bet
that with the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, which commences on Wednesday,
if the Indiana Pacers win this series against the Knicks,
Michael Cole, who was a big Knicks fan and talked

(31:58):
about being there when they won the championship nineteen seventy
three as he's old, if the Pacers win, Michael Cole
will host an entire episode. He'll do commentary for an
entire episode of Raw wearing a tank top, which nobody
needs to see. We saw enough of the terrible tattoos
when he was doing the heel gimmick, but he'll do

(32:18):
an entire episode in a tank top. If the Knicks win,
Pat McAfee will do an entire episode of Ross sitting
next to him in a suit, a suit or a tuxedo. Basically,
they'll effectively what's going on here is they'll dress like
each other. That's the bet. Then they pitched it to
footage from earlier today where the announcers were sitting at

(32:40):
ringside in an empty arena and via satellite or zoom
or whatever it was, they were interviewing Tyrese Halliburton of
the Indiana Pacers from his home about his new playable
character in the WWE two K twenty five DLC pack.
What are they calling it? Dunks? Hold on a second,

(33:02):
I'll get you in the name. Not that it matters.
I mean in the big picture, who gives a shit?
But let me let me let me at least try
to get the name here of what this? What this DLC?
Here we go, It's the dunkin Destruction DLC pack. Oh well,

(33:24):
look at this rounding out the Dunk and Destruction DLC pack.
Along with Tyrese Halliburton is Abyss, which is pretty cool,
even though he never wrestled a single match in WWE
and the Great Collie. The Great Collie is in the

(33:44):
same DLC pack with Tyrese Halliburton. Good luck with that.
I don't know how much it's going for. Good luck
with that. Anyway, they interviewed him, they asked questions, you know,
some questions about the stuff with him and and Brunson.
They were asking about two K twenty five. This was
largely a waste of time, is what. This was good

(34:06):
on them forgetting one of the players in this big
series coming up this week. It's very timely and newsworthy
for them to talk to him. So that was fine whatever.
I get why they did it, but this was a
waste of time. He did pick j Usso to beat
Logan Paul on Saturday, so that was the big development here.
I don't know how long they spent on this, but

(34:27):
this went on for a while now. After this, in
the back, Kathy Kelly is with Gunther and she asks
him if his game plan is different heading into this
upcoming championship match on June ninth. Seth Rollins walks up
and he tells gun there, Hey, it's been a while
since you and I shared the same space. Rolin said
he wanted gun Thro to know that the work he

(34:48):
did with my World Heavyweight Championship was pretty good. Gunther
said he heard about the long term plan that Paul
Hayman mentioned, and he said that he is the real future.
Rollin said that he wanted to cut the crat. He
said he came here as a professional courtesy for someone
he thought he had respect for. And he said that

(35:09):
if Gunther wins the title, he'll be treated no differently
than anybody else, and he will make himself a target.
And Gunther said he is eagerly awaiting it. But we
had another money in the Bank triple threat match here qualifier.
It was rear Ripley against Zoe Stark against the returning Kyrie,

(35:31):
saying this was Kyrie's first match since December. Kyrie, now
when she comes out, she throws gold coins into the crowd.
She pulls out like a fistful of gold coins and
she throws him up into the air into the crowd.
And I'm looking at this and I'm like, man, those
are like the chocolate coins in gold foil that I

(35:51):
used to get for Hanukkah, and she's just throwing them
out into the crowd sure feels like Damage Control is
no more and Kyrie is off doing her own thing now. Now,
early in the match, there was a very gruesome injury,
and I feel really bad for Zoe Stark because it

(36:14):
was just awful to see it and to hear her
screaming in agony, because you could hear her even off camera,
and that to me, you know what it was. It
was like Pack. When Pack took that buckle bomb on
Dynamite in the match with Swerve Strickland coming out of
I guess it would have been Dynasty. He got buckle
bombed in the corner and you could hear him scream

(36:37):
And how often does that happen? You know that you
hear anybody, let alone you know, Pack is out there
and he's shrieking and screaming in agony, and it's like, okay,
that's how you know it's something serious. And he hasn't
been seen or heard from since. So when I heard that,
I said, oh shit. I mean I knew when I
saw it, but when I heard her screaming, I said,
this is very bad. So here, Rhea Ripley was outside

(37:03):
and Kyrie Saane was in the ring and she was
setting up for a dive. Okay, she was going to
dive out of the ring onto Rhea when she turned
around Zoe Stark, who was off cameras so we couldn't
see Zoe, but Zoe was up on the top rope
and she was going to deliver the missile dropkick that

(37:25):
she does, the same missile dropkick that she can cuss
Dakota Kai with a few months ago, because it looks brutal.
So she's going to come off the top rope with
her dropkick. What it looked like to me is that
she either mistimed it or Kyrie was just at a position.
I think she just mistimed it. And it also looked

(37:46):
like she had a lot of distance to cover from
where she came off to where Kyrie was, and she
had a fly really far. This is what it looked like.
And when she landed, her right leg just literally bent
underneath her weight. And again, I mean, this image here

(38:06):
doesn't even do a justice because she was coming off
the top rope and she landed this way and it
looked like her leg snapped. Your leg is not supposed
to bend like that, and she immediately clutched her knee.
She was crying out in pain. They sent the doctor
into the ring to check on her, and then they
kept the camera off of her before cutting away to commercial,

(38:29):
and apparently she had to be carried to the back.
She couldn't put any weight on the leg. I mean,
I wouldn't recommend putting any weight on the leg after
something like that. On commentary, Michael Cole said that she
hurt the same leg that she previously had surgery on.
She tore her ACL, MCL and meniscus in her left

(38:49):
knee at Halloween, HAVOC and NXT a few years ago.
I don't know how many years ago it was now,
but it was several years ago. Here she clearly injured.
If you look, I mean that's her right leg, so
it is not the same leg, but it is just
as awful. It's just it's just terrible. So the show
came back and Zoe was not there, and Michael Cole

(39:12):
announced that this has now turned into a one on
one match between Rhea Ripley and Kyrie Sane. Ripley stretched
Kyrie until Kyrie worked out of it. Went up to
the top rope, she jumped at Rhea. Rhea, though drop
kicked her out of mid air, so that was good
enough to earn her a near fall. Ripley set up

(39:32):
for Riptide, Kyrie worked out of it and gave Ria
back elbow. Kyrie went to the top, she went for
the insane elbow, but Ria got her feet up and
booted the elbow on her way down, and from there
Riha connected with Riptide for the wind to qualify for
money in the bank. Not that it matters here, but

(39:56):
obviously not ideal for Kyrie, saying, after five or six
month on the shelf to lose her very first match back.
But again, it doesn't It doesn't matter because I am
sure Zoe Stark was in this match to take the
losing fall, and as soon as she got hurt, they
had to call an audible here and say, okay, this
is now going to be a singles match. We're not
doing a triple threat. We got to figure something out here,

(40:19):
and Rhea is still winning. So unfortunately, Kyrie saying, had
to take the bullet. It is what it is. Unfortunately
these things happened. So because I know there'll be some
people saying, oh man, she just came back and she lost,
But yeah, okay, I think given the circumstances here, Who
gives a shit, It doesn't mean anything. I'm sure Kyrie

(40:40):
was not taking the losing fall in this match had
things gone according to plan. Rio winning did not surprise me,
although she could have. I mean, honestly, with the interaction
between her and EO over the last several weeks, all
she had to do is just ask EO for a
title match, right, And I'm sure Io would have been like, oh,
of course, I'll give you a title match. It's not
as she had to go through the hassle of winning

(41:02):
money in the bank. It just kind of felt unnecessary.
But they want star power in the match, and Rhea
Ripley you see it every single week. You know when
she comes out. She's one of the biggest stars in
the entire company. How do you leave Rhea Ripley off
money in the bank? You don't, So I'm not surprised
that she would end up in the match, even though
I don't know. I would not say that she's automatically

(41:23):
the favorite to win. But you got some star power
in there now with her, and you got some star
power in there with you know, some of the other
names that have qualified. Alexa Bliss is in there, so
I get it. I get it. That doesn't necessarily mean
Rhea is the automatic favorite though. The real story here, though,

(41:45):
is Zoe Stark. And again I feel bad for her
just to go through that. What I described to you before,
ACL mcl meniscut, like, that's like Teagan Knox when her
knee exploded. I think with her it was the exact
same thing. She tore this and this and this, and
it's just devastating. Forget the physical pain like in the moment,

(42:07):
but psychologically, you know how it just has to wreck
you because you know now what you're in for. And
in her case, we don't know what the injury is,
but it's pretty fucking bad. I'm sure it's very bad.
And maybe something's torn. I don't know something's broken, who knows.
But she's been through this before, and I'm sure those

(42:27):
screams and those tears and everything is partially not only
because she's in pain, but because she realizes, shit, I
gotta go through this all over again because she knows
what it's like. Yeah, that's the thing that stands out
to me in my mind when I think back to
when Tinga Knox came back after her first or second
torn ACL because she tore her ACL once before she

(42:49):
ever got into wrestling, and then I think she tore
it working out of the performance center, so it would
have been after the second one when she was in
the May Young Classic funny enough or maybe not so
funny against Rhea Ripley, And I'll never forget when she
went down. Actually when the injury initially happened. It was

(43:09):
on a dive out to the floor on the ramp
and she kept going and I remember Rhea dropkicked her,
and when she went down that was it. She knew,
and they called the Matt Aubrey Edwards was the referee,
and they called the match off. And it was so
quiet in full sale that you could hear a pin drop,
So you can hear everything that Teagan, like the crying

(43:32):
and everything she was saying. And I remember her saying,
I can't do it again, like not again, I can't
do it again, because she knew, you know, what she
had been through previously, and it just broke your heart
because it's like what do you do, like, what do
you even say to a person like that in a
situation like that, So it's awful. I feel bad for
her and you know, without any official diagnosis, we can't

(43:58):
know the severity of the injury, but by watching it,
it's bad and we're not going to see her back
in the ring for a very long time. I don't
think we need to have the official diagnosis to know that,
so best wishes to her. Hopefully it's not quite as
bad as it looked, but it was bad. And look,
I mean, first they get rid of Sonya Deville and

(44:18):
then they get rid of Shana Basler, so her two
partners are gone, right, the Pure Fusion Collective was dead
a long time ago, but they get rid of her
tag team partner just recently in SHANEA. Basler. And this
woman is barely getting a chance to even wrestle on
television at all. They don't even do house shows hardly
at all anymore. So this woman is just sitting around
collecting dust and finally she has a chance to go

(44:41):
on TV. And yeah, she would have lost, I'm sure,
but she has a chance and the money in the
bank qualifying mat she actually work and go out and wrestle,
and then this happens in a complete freak accident. It's awful.
They are a Russo from a Russo God for a
fucking bid a Russev promo. Can you I'll tell you

(45:04):
what if they would have aired a Russo promo video,
that's where I turned the show off. That's what I
do now. They aired a Russev promo video. He said
he admired Tozaua's courage. He said that he was trying
to fix Tozaua, and he called him an ungrateful little man.

(45:26):
He took issue with Tozaua, challenging him and told him
that he now has a problem. Russev said that Tozao's
ego might get him cheered, but his arrogance will get
him slaughtered. And Russev said that he will embrace Tozao's
challenge with open arms and that he would forgive Tozao's
stupidity and forget his existence. So that match will be

(45:46):
taking place next Monday. Avis says cutting down on house
shows is a massive mistake. I just talked about this
on the sound off yesterday. There are pros and cons.
I think having an easier schedule is good, but yes,
I think cutting down on house shows as much as

(46:08):
they have, and they may cut more, it's gonna end
up being a very bad thing, not only because you
have people who just are not going to be able
to get in the ring. It's not like WWE let
you go book independent dates like AW does. All right,
well we're not using you go ahead and book your
own shots. Can't do that. If you're lucky, maybe they'll
let you work NXT for a little bit. But besides that,

(46:30):
it's like if you're not working. And I'm not saying
that this is what happened with Zoe Stark where she's
not wrestling a lot and so that's why she got hurt.
This was just a freak, a freak thing. But that
could be an issue too for some people where if
they're not working, where they're not working nearly as much,
that could be a bad thing that could work against you,

(46:51):
that can make you more prone to injury. So yeah, no, Ava,
you're not wrong. You're not wrong. At the rate that
they're cutting them, if they continue to cut them and more,
it's gonna be a very bad thing. So the judgment day,
they were hanging out in their clubhouse when Roxanne Perez

(47:11):
entered along with Finn Balor. Racal Rodriguez was questioning what
she was doing there, and Balor said that he and
Roxanne had been chatting the last couple of weeks, which
I've been pointing out to you in some of these
backstage segments. At least twice now we've seen Baler in
Roxanne having a conversation in the background, so it was
clear this was going to go somewhere, and he wanted

(47:34):
to introduce her to the judgment day. He said that
he had been thinking about what Don was saying about
needing more numbers, and Dom said, we need to talk
to Live Morgan before any decisions were made, and Balor said, look,
she's not a new member, but she could provide help
if we need it. So Roxanne said that I got

(47:55):
you all presents, and she gave Dom a box of
chicken nuggets, which is a faux pap because Dom is
a fan of chicken Tendy's Chicken Tenders and chicken nuggets
are not the same thing, although he looked very appreciative
of the gesture. Carlito got a bag full of apples.

(48:16):
Raquel was nonplussed about all this. She told Roxanne to
leave and then very sternly told Balor Live is going
to hear about what happened, and Balor with a smirk
on his face. Nice devilish Grin said, I can't wait.
Live Morgan, by the way, is supposedly done filming her
role for that movie in Japan, so she could be

(48:38):
back on the show as soon as next week. I
like the idea of Roxanne not being an official member
of the Judgment Day, but just sort of being allied
with them. I could see that leading to something between
Live and Roxanne. Maybe that's what they're building towards here,
maybe even down the road, Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez
in a mixed tag against Dom and Live right further

(48:59):
down the I could see that right. There's a bunch
of potentially fun ideas here with Roxanne. Getting her involved
in something right now is a smart move. And they
closed the show with Jay Usso taking on bron Breaker.
This was a non title match before his championship match
this Saturday. Tom was eyeing up Roxy. Says Sam, Well, look,

(49:26):
I mean Dom's been with Rhea, he's with Live. Maybe
Roxanne is his next conquest. Apparently the guy is irresistible,
and he's got the championship too, so he's got some gold.
Maybe Roxanne is his next target. I don't know. Breaker

(49:47):
had the upper hand to start things out. It was
a very brief period here because Jay Uso battled back
and close lined him over the top into the floor.
Jay followed that up with the suicide dive through the
ropes and then they went to com marshall. The show
came back. Breaker had the advantage. Now there was a
brief hope spot where Usso went to the middle rope
for a splash. Breaker, though caught him and slammed him.

(50:10):
Jay knocked Braun out of the ring and went for
a suicide dive, but Bron caught him and then ragged
alled him. Then he jumped from the apron and he
hit something of a bulldog I guess kind of looked
like onto the announced desk. He did it to Jay,
but it looked like Bron took the worst end of it,
and then they took us into a second commercial break.

(50:30):
The show came back. The two of them were back
inside the ring. J slat Breaker and they traded some shots.
The sequence ended with a pop up Samo and drop
by j for a nice near fall. Usso went to
the top, Breaker cut him off and they were fighting
on the second rope and ultimately Breaker hit his jump up,
Frankensteiner to take Jay all the way down to the mat.

(50:50):
Breaker round the ropes, he ran right into a superkick
Paul Hayman now gets up on the apron and Breaker
goes outside while this distraction is taking place, and he
goes outside and he grabs a chair and he brings
it in with him, and Jay kicks the chair out
of Breaker's hand and runs the ropes. Hayman, though, grabs

(51:11):
Jay's foot and USO leaves the ring. He confronts Hayman,
but wouldn't you know, Seth Rollins appears out of nowhere
and he attacks Jade and the match. One would assume
that this was a disqualification. They never renounced these things,
but like in the past, when all of a sudden done,
they list it sometimes as like a no contest, which
makes no fucking sense. So this is a disqualification. There

(51:32):
should be a disqualification win here for Jay, Uso, Rollins
and Breaker. They put the boots to Uso inside the
ring until Sammy's Ain's music hits and Zane comes out
and he gets up on the apron and the crowd
is channing CM Punk, CM Punk and finally punks music
hits and the place explodes because they probably weren't expecting him.

(51:56):
Out comes CM Punk. He joins Sammy on the apron.
Now all four men brawl inside the ring. Punkin Zane.
They got the better of it at first breaker though,
and rollins. They battled Sammy into the crowd. Here comes Punk.
He leaps off the top of the barricade onto the
pile and all four men they brawl off into the crowd.
That's the last that we see of them. As this

(52:17):
is happening back in the ring, Jay gets his hand
raised by the referee and as he turns, he doesn't
see that Logan Paul is there, and Logan Paul catches
him with a knockout shot. That's the fourth time now
that Logan Paul has knocked out Jay Uso. For some reason,
Logan was bleeding from the mouth. I have no idea why.

(52:40):
Maybe he has gingervitis. I don't know, but that's how
the show went off the air. It was a good
match with some nice chaos there at the end. If
the crowd was going wild for it, especially after Punk
came out. I like how they weave the two Saturday
Nights made event matches. The two stories here together where
we had all four men in the tag match fighting

(53:01):
and brawling off, and then that led directly into the
interaction we saw between Jay and Logans and the show
Logan Paul stands tall. I didn't like his chances coming
into the show. I like them even less coming out
of the show. But that was Monday Night Raw. Now
next week's show, we're going to finally get some men's
Money in the Bank qualifying matches on this show. They
did not say with who. We didn't know who was

(53:23):
going to be in the women's Money in the Bank
qualifiers until this afternoon, so we may not find out
until next Monday. Who's going to be in those matches.
We have Tozawa against Russev. We have the war Raiders,
the New Day, and the Creed Brothers. Next week triple
threat for the world tag team titles. Let's talk about
Saturday Night to main event, because that's coming up this weekend.

(53:45):
This was the final Raw before that show. We have
John Cena one on one with Our Truth. This will
not be for the championship. John Sena is not losing
to Our Truth unless he gets himself disqualified. This is
not going to be much of a match. It's going
to be more of an angle than a match. We

(54:05):
have a steel cage match between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest,
and I think it was somebody the other night who
floated this idea, and I really like this idea. I
wish and they're not going to do it. You could
see in the graphic it's the mesh cage. But you
know old school Saturday Night's main event, Jesse Ventur. They
haven't mentioned him at all, but he previously said he

(54:27):
was going to be on all four shows this year,
so I assume he'll be there. They should. I wish
they would go back to the Blue bar Cage just
for one night. This should be a steel cage match
in the old school blue bar cage, but it's Priest
and McIntyre, which I think is going to be a
win for Priest. I think you're really again, I hate

(54:50):
to use the word, but you're kind of burying the
guy if he loses again to Drew McIntyre. And that's
not a smart thing to do because you moved him
over to smack them, to try to get him over
as one of the top baby faces on the brand,
and you're really doing damage. If he goes in there
and just loses again, should be a win for Damian Priest.
He has more to gain than McIntyre has to lose.

(55:12):
Put it that way, McIntyre, I feel like he is
already in a position where, even if he's not in
the world title mix, he's a made guy. He's a
made guy in a way the Damian Priest right now
is not. That's why he should win. See I'm Punkin
Sammy's Ain take on Seth Rollins and bron Breaker. That
should be a win for Rollins and Breaker brand new
heel Faction on Monday nights. I don't know why you

(55:33):
would be beating them this soon. And then jay Uso
and Logan Paul for the World Heavyweight Championship. This will
be a win for jay Usso and we will get
the rematch on June ninth between jay Usso and Gunther.
I suppose there's always a chance, depending on how the
finish goes down on Saturday, that Logan Paul could be

(55:54):
worked into that match and we get a triple threat
on Raw June ninth with Jay Logan and Gunther. But
jay Uso is not losing the World Heavyweight Championship this weekend?
What did you think of Raw here tonight, the final
Raw here before Saturday Night's main event. Fifty seven point

(56:14):
two percent thumbs up, twenty seven point five percent thumbs
in the middle, and fifteen point three percent thumbs down.
Hey Chelsea, I love you too. Thank you, Chelsea, and
thank you for voting. Keep it up at Solo Monster
on x Go vote. Hey, Tonga Loa superfan is with us?

(56:45):
When did you first realize that Tonga Loa had it?
What is this it that you speak of? Is it
the innate ability to trip over his own feet? Is
it the innate ability to, in delivering a low blow
to somebody, to punch his own brother in the head.

(57:11):
Is it the innate ability to, in your debut appearance,
to not make it out from under the ring in
time to break up the pinfall? This man has done
so many amazing things. All right, let's check out your
messages here. Get those messages in, get those comments in.

(57:35):
I will read through them all. We are currently at
four hundred and twenty five likes, which is very good. Again,
I miss timed the bonus goal. It should still be active,
but it ended in like ten minutes so we didn't
hit that goal, but I don't know we get we
got a few other yellow or higher ones and we

(57:57):
we may do a bonus round beat a book. But
let's go through these questions first. Shout out to Javili.
He says, with Jeff Cobb in WWE, what is the
possibility of Nito staying in Japan or going to aw
And if Tangaloa did not get injured in War Games,

(58:19):
would we have gotten the Usos against the Guerrillas of
Destiny at WrestleMania forty one for the tag team Championship. No,
jay Usso won the World Heavyweight Championship. So the idea
that he was planned for a tag team title match
against Tomattanga and Tongaloa, but because Tangaloa got hurt, they

(58:39):
decided to put the World Heavyweight Championship on jay Uso.
I can guarantee you that was not the plan. And
Nito No. I think Nito is going to freelance. You know,
he may pop up in New Japan here and there
in the future, but I think he's going to take
some time to rest up in freelance, and I think
he'll do real well. He left New Japan is the

(58:59):
biggest name in the company. Also, what is the possibility
match of a match or Penta at World's Collide, rematch
with Dominic for the ICY title, Mask versus Mask with
Elgande Americano or reunited with Ray Phoenix in a tag
team match. It's definitely not option a. Uh, there's no

(59:25):
reason to put him back in the ring with dom
for the ic title unless he's winning it. I'm gonna
say an I'm gonna say a reunion with Phoenix against
the Grande Americano maybe and dom That would be my guess.
Mask versus Mask, though, is also a possibility. You know,
he's gonna lose that mask soon and when he does,

(59:47):
it's just a matter of who it's against. Penta would
make sense because Ray mysterio. I have no idea how
long he's gonna be out for. He just had surgery,
so I suspect we're not going to actually be seeing
Ray for a while, so it really can't be him.
He's going to be out for a few months. We

(01:00:10):
have got jababy. Do you know why WWE never runs
the United Center when they come to Chicago. The only
time that they did was the Summer Slam Show. In
nineteen ninety four, which I think was maybe the very

(01:00:35):
was it the very first show of any kind that
they did in the United Center. If it wasn't the
very first, it was one of the very first shows
in that building. I know that was very early on
when the United Center opened. I think it's just the
case where they have a relationship with the All State
Arena and I think it's cheaper to run there. I

(01:00:57):
think it comes down probably to simple economics. MGM. Balin
within Itteen ninety nine. Poor Zoe Man. That was brutal.
Also poor me, because I would like someone Roxanne to
gift me chicken nuggets the way that Don was. Either way,

(01:01:17):
here's a be the booker super to get the ball rolling.
Let's go NIX. I like chicken nuggets myself, regardless of
who delivers them to me, as long as they're fresh.
Thank you, MGM Balin, justin g twenty six months of

(01:01:40):
channel membership, worth it every month, Thank you, Solo Monster,
thank you Chat, thank you justin Happy to have you
every single week, twenty six months in a row. Fuckenhomics. Yeah,
it's basic thuganmic. I mean that's really why they run

(01:02:02):
All State, not the United Center, which is basic th economics.
That's it, David Thearing with a twelve dollars super show.
And I was listening to the sound off this past
weekend and I heard your installment of real American Bullshit.
I legit was busting out laughing because it's so true.
Great work as always, sir, Thank you, David. I thought

(01:02:28):
you might enjoy that. What will the next installment bring?
Zach says, fien fien, fien fiend. Thank you, Zach dog
Lover twenty one, twenty two. Prayers to Zoe. I recently

(01:02:50):
developed a sports hernia during a hockey game. I have
to have it surgically repaired. I know it's different injuries,
but I'm hoping she can avoid surgery. I hope so too,
but I don't think that's looking too good. And good
luck with the hernia. I know there's different grades, right,
different types. Many years ago, a doctor thought I had

(01:03:12):
a inguin ol hernia. I think it's called but I said,
I'm sure it's fine, and we left it alone. You're
not cutting me open. I already got my leg cut open.
You're not cutting open my whatever. But I'm okay, so

(01:03:35):
I assume it wasn't that serious Arabian Night two thousand.
If rumors are true and his deal is up in July,
I hope Cross just up and leaves. WWE clearly has
no clue how to use him, even when he is
getting reactions f you triple h Yeah. I can't figure
out the Cross thing myself. I said last week he

(01:03:56):
had like three seconds on screen in the background as
somebody was walking giving his T shirt out to the
New Day. I'm like, this is what you come up
with for this guy. You're gonna squander whatever little bit
of momentum this guy appears to be building up. You're
just gonna throw it away for what for what? For nothing?

(01:04:18):
So you have little easter eggs segments with him in
the background. Guess what. You don't get people over that way.
But we have Men's money in the bank qualifiers next week,
whether he wins or loses. If he's not even in
any of the qualifiers, then I agree, like he should
just up and walk. That's it, because it's clear as
day to me they're not doing shit with him if

(01:04:39):
he's not even in any of the matches, Like, what
are we doing here? I don't get it. Dark effect
with the fifty dollars super chat wwe needs to pony
up and get the song rock sand by the Police
for Rock sandper you want Tko? You want TKO to

(01:05:02):
pony up the cash. They'll have a deaf rebel version
of Roxane and you'll like it. What would her opening
sound bite be? Roxane? It's all I hear when someone

(01:05:24):
says her name. Maybe that's just because I'm old, though,
well you are probably old. Hearing Jimmy Hart talk about
favorite theme songs made me miss those days. I think
we all do. We have sidrow Is with us with
a five dollars super chat Prodigy, you're right, probably Prodigy Rodible.

(01:05:54):
That's gonna be the opening of her new theme song.
Maybe they could get Prodigy to actually like take a
Prodigy song. I'd be okay with that. Cidro says, bought
an alarm clock that swears at you instead of beeping.
It's a rude awakening. And someone asked me to name

(01:06:14):
two structures that hold water. I'm like, well, damn, oh man,
uh we have I'm not even gonna attempt that, but
thank you for the membership. Make Out make Out tea.

(01:06:40):
Sorry but every time Kyrie is in the ring. She
seems out of place and off the mark. Always feels
like she's putting herself or somebody else in a bad spot.
It sounded, I will say this, It sounded to me
when she finally turned around and Zoe was coming off
with the dropkick, I heard. I could have sworn I

(01:07:02):
heard Zoe shouting Kyrie. So maybe she was already in
mid flight because you couldn't see Zoe. You know, the
camera was in tight So was she already in mid
flight or was she still on the top rope trying
to get her attention That I don't know, but I
do wonder if maybe she had already jumped and Kyrie

(01:07:23):
hadn't moved into the right position, I hadn't started running
yet because her back was turned right. The idea was
she'll turn She's gonna get ready to do a dive.
But when she turns around, like boom, she gets hit
with the dropkick. I could have sworn I heard Zoe
yelling like Kyrie. So again, I think it was just
whoever you want to blame, I think it was just mistimed.

(01:07:46):
I think it was just like a mistiming of the spot.
Joseph says, beat yo ac huh, that's her, Ricochet said
to Von Evans hashtag push cross now. Sidra says, I rhymed.

(01:08:09):
Camera was in tight, she was in mid flight. Look
at that. I didn't even mean to do that. That's
just how talented I am. It just comes naturally to me.
Doubles says a fan camera angle just got posted. Kyrie
was one hundred percent out of position. Yeah, that makes

(01:08:30):
it even worse. But you know, this was Kyrie's first
match in six months, and you know, maybe maybe that
was part of it. You know, she hasn't been in
the ring in so long. It's just sad. It's just
really sad. Bobby's World says no live review after Saturday
Night's made event. No, I'm going to tweet my displeasure,

(01:08:53):
just play and enjoy the birthday party. Yes, I will be, Well,
we'll see. I don't know. I mean, it's it's I
think it's to be outdoors and it's supposed to rain
this weekend. It's been raining every other fucking day here
in New York for weeks, so who's to say the
party won't get canceled. The party's canceled, then I guess
I'll be able to go live after Saturday night's main event,

(01:09:14):
but if not, I will have my full review on
the sound off next Sunday, so you won't have to
wait very long. I just won't be able to make
any money, which is kind of bad. But I feel
bad because I haven't been able to go to this
person's party for like three years now because they've been

(01:09:36):
doing these fucking Saudi shows that same weekend every year.
This year there happens to be no like pl like big,
big show that weekend. So I'm like, eh, what, I'll
be here for double or nothing on Sunday, but I
gotta I gotta venture out on Saturday. I can't. I
can't just stay here. No, the party is I'm not

(01:10:00):
at Chuck E Cheese. Who said that? Scum scum said
not at Chuck E Cheese. I don't think I've set
foot in a Chuck e Cheese? And thirty five years Sidrow,
do you know where you can get chicken broth in bulk?
The stock market? And my friend Philip had his lip

(01:10:22):
removed last week. Now we just call him phil very good.
Very good, says Psycho Sidro. There ron buy or sell
more consequential or important turn Austin in ninety seven or

(01:10:45):
Roman in twenty twenty, Austin in ninety seven, Sidrow, what
do you call a hen that can count its own eggs?
A mathema chicken? Oh that's just that's that is just all.
Whatever goodwill you had with me for that last one

(01:11:06):
is just washed away. And he says there's a new
law for buying veggies at grocery. Law states if you
buy carrots, you must also buy cabbage and onion. It's
Cole's law. I don't know if you're trying to make

(01:11:30):
them awful. You're doing a good job though. If you are,
John says you get to go to any WrestleMania past
president or a future The catch while attending, you have
to wear a shirt two sizes too small and two
left shoes. Then I guess I'm not going to WrestleMania,

(01:11:51):
because why would I do that. Nobody wants to see
me in a belly shirt tripping over myself. I just
won't go. That's my answer, hopefully ninety three with the
ten dollars super Chat best wishes for Zoe. That cry

(01:12:15):
of pain was very heartbreaking. I also would like to
say good game to you, so and your mets. No
hard feelings. Just was a Sunday night. Best of luck
in July. Best of luck to you as well. Duff's VIDs.
What does the salad say before it eats? Let us pray?

(01:12:42):
Thank you? Duffs Sidrow got kicked out of a secret
cooking society for spilling the beans? And what do birds
do when they get together? They exchange pleasant trees. I
like the first one. I did finish the joke. I said,

(01:13:04):
let us pray, but I had to try very hard
not to just lose my shit there. Justin thank you
for the gifted membership to Stephanie Vicaire. Stephanie Vicaire simp is,
that could be anybody in this chat. Stephanie Viquaierre simp

(01:13:27):
is now a Channel member thanks to Justin Ryan Adams
with a ten dollars super chat. So Finn is definitely
a messy uncle. He knew what he was doing. Also,
Raquel getting mad because someone else flirted with Carlito is

(01:13:49):
Raquel getting jealous. See that's interesting. I didn't look at
it that way. I just looked at it as here's
this woman that I don't know who's kind of infringing
on our territory. That would be kind of funny if
she had. If she has this like passive aggressive crush
on Carlito, Elijah says, we all simp for Stephanie Jeremy Rose.

(01:14:21):
The last two weeks, WWE's YouTube channel has posted cross
matches from main event. They never post these matches, so what,
in your opinion, is the reason for this. Are they
trying to build interest or are they trolling? The team
that runs the YouTube channel is completely separate, depart from
Triple H and his creative team, So I think probably

(01:14:46):
the team running the YouTube account is trying to help
Cross and the creative team is not doing him any favors.
There seems to be a disconnect there, dark effect. I
just wanted ed get well soon JR. For my money,
he's the best commentator of all time. For the longest time,
he was the voice of wrestling. Here's hoping he kicks

(01:15:08):
cancer's ass. That's what I said on the sound off
this weekend. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed recently with colon cancer.
He's having surgery soon and wishing all the best to JR.
He's the greatest to ever do it. Simple as that

(01:15:30):
she could be Carlito's daughter. You know what is Carlito's
like forty what is he forty five? How old is Raquel? Yeah?
That is a little weird. Duff's VIDs. What do you
call the security guards for Samsung Guardians of the Galaxy,
Guardians of the Galaxy. Ah, okay, I get it, Samsung

(01:15:56):
Galaxy very good. Forty six. Riquel is not Riquel is
not forty six, Oh, Carlito, Riquel is thirty three. Okay,
you were telling me Riquel is forty six. I go, oh,
she looks pretty fucking good for forty six. All right,
I was off by one. Carlito's forty six, He's not

(01:16:17):
forty five. Riquel is thirty three. Yeah, that's fine. Uh.

Brian Alex and double X, double X double s look
at this, I'm dyslexic now double s. Nick Grosso with
the nine ninety nine says great night for Roxanne and

(01:17:05):
she has direction but do they have a plan for
Julia where just like the Kyrie Sane treatment or worse,
the Blair Davenport treatment. Also, where has Carrying Cross been.
He's been on main event, that's where he's been. He's
been in the back. I can guarantee you that they
are not going to give Julia the Blair Davenport treatment.

(01:17:27):
There was a great idea I talked about it on
the show yesterday and somebody floated it on the SmackDown
stream on Friday night. I actually really liked the idea,
which is that Julia wins her money in the bank
qualifier this Friday, because she's in there with Zoe zoeh
my god, Zoe wrong, ze, Zelena Vega and Charlotte, and

(01:17:47):
I really don't want Charlotte to win. I would love
it if Julia won. She's probably not gonna win money
in the bank, but she should win on Friday anyway.
But she pins Zelena to win the qualifier. That's the
most important part, whether she wins money in the bank
or not. She pins the US champion to win the
qualifier and coming out of money in the bank, she

(01:18:10):
doesn't have to be right away, but she will feud
with Zelena beat Zelena for the US title and get
a US title run on SmackDown. I like that idea
a lot. I hope that's what they do. Sidrow deep
thought of the day. When you clean out a vacuum cleaner,

(01:18:33):
you become a vacuum, you become a vacuum cleaner. You
do you know what that's true? When you are cleaning
a vacuum, you become a vacuum cleaner. I never looked
at it that way. There's Ray Ray right now. Were
you already a channel member and you just got gifted
another one? Or did your membership run out? You remember?

(01:18:57):
Now that's all the matter. I see the red skull
next to Ray's name. Shout out to Ray, she's the best,
and he says the inventor of the ballet skirt really
struggled with what to name it until he finally put
two and two together. Tu and Tu have to spell

(01:19:23):
it out for the people that are going to be
listening to this on the audio Downloat, here's my boy Warhog,
Rambo solo Monster Rocks. You do too. Look at Chris
Manson showing off. He's in the chat with his blue

(01:19:45):
skull like he's better than you and you know it.
Tanga Lo as superfan, thank you for the two bucks again.
I already read that one earlier when it came in.
I think that's enough. Tongalowa discussion for the night number one.
Almost Sapien says no joke today, just to thanks for

(01:20:06):
helping me keep distracted on the fifth anniversary of my
father's death. Almost Sapien, you are very welcome. I'm very
sorry to hear about that. I know that feeling, and
I hope you're doing well, and I'm glad you're hanging
out with us. Hopefully that makes it a little bit easier.

(01:20:27):
Chelsea Webb renewed their SoundOff membership. Sought Chelsea in the
chat before ah Ray said it expired. Look at that
and just like that, she's a member again. Chris Ludek
with a twelve buy or sell Saved by the Bell

(01:20:48):
or California Dreams Save by the Bell Easily? Also, will
you be doing a watch along for Saturday Nights Made
event or a post show reaction? I will be doing
neither because I will not be here, so I will
be doing a review on SoundOff nine fourteen on Sunday,
but I will be live after Double or Nothing on

(01:21:10):
Sunday Night Retro. Koh says, Yeah, Tongaloa has it ingrown toenails?
Is that why he's been out for months? Be kind
of funny if that's part of the reason why he
was out. He has like a really bad ingrown toenail,

(01:21:31):
so he's been on the injury list. Sam says, was
good to hear Olie Davis at Wrestle Talk say he
used to listen to you. In the latest podcast twenty
minutes in he rates you over Dave Meltzer. I mean,
how high is that bar really? In twenty twenty five.

(01:21:55):
I feel like his rep has taken a hit recently. Yeah,
Ali used to talk about the sound Duff or name
drop the show here and there. Quite often people would
point out to me different mentions, which was always very cool.
Over Wrestle Talk Duff's VIDs. What did the lunch box

(01:22:19):
say to the refrigerator? Don't hate me because I'm a
little cooler, Bobby means with the ten did you know
that Aw's Double or Nothing will be head to head
with NXT Battleground. Both shows will be on simultaneously at
eight pm on Peacock Versus Prime Video. This could get

(01:22:41):
very ugly for Tony Kahn. It's been known for a while. Yes,
those two shows are going head to head on Sunday.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Though, I'm sure that
there was no malicious intent involved there none whatsoever. I
will not be watching the NXT show. Chris Manson. I

(01:23:06):
used to cry when my dad chopped onions. Onions was
a good dog. I miss him. Thank you, Chris. It's
that blue Skull humor. We need a solemn monster Wrestle
Talk crossover. You had a solemn Monster Wrestle Purist's crossover

(01:23:30):
last week. Should go check that out. Justin g again,
thank you for that Gifted membership. We've got uh white
faces here with an eighteen dollars drop. Kyrie used to
do the coin throwing to the crowd in NXT. One
time when she was Women's champion. She accidentally threw her

(01:23:51):
belt into the crowd and it was hilarious. Bless her. Yeah,
that's right, she did do that in NXT. Now's a
long time ago. Dark Effect crushing it with the five

I could come in a little late. He said, dream on.
I think that was really nice of him. And why

Enough Togo, enough TOGLOA discussion for the night. Hold my beer,

(01:24:55):
says TOGALOA super fan, Sidraw. I've just been promoted to
running all of old McDonald's farms. I'll be the ci eio.
I didn't you use that once before? I'm almost positive

(01:25:15):
i've heard that one. Ps Listen to my new trans beat.
When you get a chance, tweet me. I'll try to
check it out. I hadn't been on social media much
this weekend. Stuff's VIDs. You don't need a parachute to
go skydiving, you need one to go skydiving twice Tonga

(01:25:41):
low a super fan, close your eyes solo and imagine this.
In ten years, says Brett Hart, will be inducting a
Tonga loa match as the WWE Immortal's moment at the
Hall of Fame. Just wait, I'll tell you what. I

(01:26:08):
will hand this entire podcast over to you. If that happens,
it will become the Tongala Podcast. If that actually happens.
I feel confident that it won't. Sidrow. I've been just
been promoted to running all of old McDonald's fire. What

(01:26:31):
am I having? Dave javvou eir Ron says. I asked
my North Korean friend how it was there. He said
he couldn't complain. That kid's very good. That's very good.
And the Tonga loa hater I challenge Superfan to a

(01:26:52):
barbed wire taco bell match. Oh we have Toga loa
superfan and we have tongaloa hater. I mean, if that
isn't a be the booker match, I don't know what
is well that, Ladies and gentlemen, was your installment of

(01:27:14):
the comedy seller here tonight? Super Fan has twenty four
hours to respond. Yeah, the North Korea one was actually
very clever. This actually was very clever. I like that one.
But it is time to end on the right note,
and that is what to be the booker. So let's

(01:27:36):
do it, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to
be the booker. Ah, look at this bree Bella's head
on Dominic's body. The timing of this one. Alex with
a twenty five dollars super chat brother Solo Fantastic four

(01:27:58):
or Superman Fantastic four. I just was never a big
Superman Guy Fantastic four. All right, tag team be the Booker,

(01:28:19):
Round and a round it goes. Let's push the button
and we land on Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, the Young Bucks,
one of the most, if not the most polarizing tag
team maybe of all time, and the Young Bucks will

(01:28:43):
be stepping into the ring. You know what, I think
this is a match that everybody, frankly could get behind
right here. I think if you're a Young Bucks fan,
you would want to see the match, and if you
hate the Young Bucks, you really want to see this
match The Young Bucks again the APA. Can you imagine
what Bradshaw and Feruke would do to the Young Bucks

(01:29:06):
if they got them in the ring. That would be
very entertaining. I just I can't see Bradshaw taking a
meltzer driver, and I feel like if they attempted to
do a meltzer driver to him, it would not end
well for them. Women's be the Booker. We have all

(01:29:33):
read everything just like my mic here appropriate for a
Monday night, Eva Marie. The second time in I think
the last two streams that we have landed on this woman.
And while I would not ordinarily mind landing on this woman,

(01:29:53):
I did not want to land on her again here
and be the booker so soon demanding pump the brakes. Here,
we have to find that who everyone wants me to buzz.
We have to find that who her opponent is going
to be. I mean, what if her opponent is Mayu Ewatani,
I mean, you don't have any faith in Mayu Lida

(01:30:19):
who has red hair. This truly is the match with
all read everything. It is Lida and it is even Marie.
Now we can buzz. I just had to see who
the opponent was going to be. It truly is all
read everything here in this match and our main event,

(01:30:44):
our main event for round number one, because I've decided
you guys have been very active tonight so far, so
I feel like I owe you a second round. So
we're actually gonna do two rounds of be the booker tonight.
But let's see what our first main event is going
to be. It is going to be the former IWGP
World Heavyweight Champion Sonata. They went through their Sonata phase,

(01:31:11):
and boy did they move beyond that, didn't they? Sonata
in the main event against the American badass Undertaker, one

(01:31:36):
of those matches that you know you don't think about,
And now that I've booked it, what would that match
look like? Undertaker against Sonata. I don't know. I don't
know that that match would be great. I don't think
it would be very good. I don't know. I just

(01:31:57):
don't think those two styles would mesh well. But maybe
I'd be wrong. That's why I gave it the bell.
All right, now we move on to round two. We
get to do stipulations. Why do I sound like I

(01:32:18):
smoke six packs a day? All right, here we go.
We're gonna pick a stick. I don't even know what
we're doing. First, tag teams women. We could tag team
the women. I don't know. Let's see pick a stipulation,
strap match. We are going to book a strap match
and hmm, I don't want to do a tag team

(01:32:38):
strap match. Let's do the Let's do the ladies. How
about that? A tag team I'm sorry, A strap match
with the women is what we're gonna open up round
number two with. I sound like they sound like Jake

(01:32:59):
the Snake. Brian says, I sound like Caine. That's probably
how I sounded when I was sick a few months ago.
Everybody tell me they teared the podcast and they thought
they they thought they were listening to the Kurt Angle Show.
All right, women, strap Match, we have Dakota Kai, or

(01:33:20):
shall I say the former Dakota Kai. I assume she's
going back to EV Well, she's available. I've agreed to
her rate, So we're going to bring her in to
work a match here in our promotion, and it will
be Dakota Kai taking on someone else who happens to

(01:33:44):
be available at the moment. That would be Gg Dolan,
both part of the recent wave of releases Dakota Kai
and Gg Dolan in a strap match power Spying Games says,

(01:34:09):
I hate scrap matches. She trademarked the King Coda now
that she's gonna go by now great King Coda. I
like that name. I guess King Cullen was taken, so
she has to be King King Coda future hog match.

(01:34:36):
I'm sworn to secrecy on that. There's a lot of
there's a lot of different discussions go there's a lot
of talent out there now all of a sudden, so
there's a lot of discussions that are ongoing about various
potential matches. I was just texting, uh, I was just
texting with the promoter today about some matches. Stay tuned,

(01:34:57):
we'll see another stick we gotta pick. All right, let's
do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Molotov cocktail match.
I can guarantee you you will never see this in
House of Glory. I don't think the I think the
building code would allow it. But a Molotov cocktail tag

(01:35:17):
team match is what we are now in store for.
This is gonna be Wild Popeyes or KFC Popeyes easily.

(01:35:40):
Rob Van Dam and Hook are in this Molotov cocktail match.
R VD and Hook against best friends Trent and Chuck Awful.

(01:36:12):
One more to go handgrin aids next. Maybe that'll be
in the next aw game. You can blame them for
that Molotov cocktail stipulation that was in Fight Forever. A
Monsters Ball match, Man, we're really doling out the steps.

(01:36:34):
Then at are we would go from strap match Molotov
cocktail match? Now we have a Monster's Ball match? All right,
this is our main event, Monsters Ball. Look at this guy.

(01:36:55):
Look at the fucking grin on his face. Where's he
been Jack Perry, the Scapegoat is in a Monster's Ball
match against the King Goo. Jack Perry and the King

(01:37:23):
Goo in a Monster's ball match. Ah, well, that didn't
go too well. That didn't go the way I was

(01:37:44):
hoping it would go. We did not end on a
high note. I have failed you. I have failed you.
We got some more super chats to get through here.

(01:38:07):
Arabian Night got a tough by sell Rent which Big
Man could have been more consistent as an upper mid
card slash fringe main event guy in wrestling Mike Awesome,
Chris Kanyon or Test upper mid card, fringe main event

(01:38:28):
guy in wrestling Mike Awesome. I think I would go
with Mike Awesome first because I think Test could have
been a main event guy. I think had his career
gone a little bit differently, if he zigged instead of zagged,
there was the potential there for him to be a
solid Yeah again, upper mid card maybe, but a solid

(01:38:49):
main event player. I thought Chris Kanyon was super talented man.
You know, I think I go Awesome as a bye
Canyon is a Rent Test as a cell. But they

(01:39:13):
all that the potential was there for all of them, though,
But I think I would go Canyon for the for
the rent, I think I'd put him in the middle.
Duffs VIDs you need a parachute to go skydiving. Twice
no parachute and you just hit the ground. What I see?

(01:39:36):
I see that parachute just flew over my head. Thank you, Duff,
So thank you for clarifying. I was like, what am I?
What am I missing here? In bas Beer's rye Back
or Tatanka? Who had a better career? Uh? Well, I

(01:39:57):
would say Tatanka because his career lasted long than ryebacks
rye Back. You know, he got to work some main events, right,
didn't he He worked a pay per view main event
once with Sina. It was like an ambulance match or
something they had. And he worked a Hell and a
Cell match against Punk, So he had some bigger matches

(01:40:19):
than Tatanka had. But I just feel like Tatanka, you know,
he got to mix it up with some top guys too.
But his career overall was longer and he left and
came back. Remember Tataka? Actually they brought him back in
like the mid two thousands. He was back on SmackDown
for a while. Good stuff. Thank you guys for all

(01:40:40):
of the support tonight. Very much appreciate it, as I
always do each and every week right here on this
very channel, and I hope you'll join me on this
very channel when I am live again with you on
Wednesday after Dynamite, the final Dynamite before Double or Nothing,
and then Friday for SmackDown, the final SmackDown before Saturday

(01:41:03):
Night's main event. Tomorrow night, I'll be over on JD's
channel for episode ninety six of Tuesday Night Titans. Showed
me a image earlier of a potential new T shirt
design that I think looks pretty badass, so hopefully that'll
be something that we can start plugging soon. But hopefully

(01:41:23):
you will be able to join us there for that
and go check out episode nine thirteen of the SoundOff
that went up yesterday. We hit number two, actually, I'm sorry,
number three. We were number three top wrestling podcast on
Apple Podcasts in all of the United States this morning,
second only to the two Jim Cornett podcasts. That was
your top three. It was corny, corny, and solo sounds

(01:41:46):
like a fucking law firm. But go check out that
episode and all the other content here on the channel
until next time, be well, stay safe, have yourselves a
great night. Best wishes again to Zoe Stark on what
was a very gnarly injury. Hopefully she was able to
avoid the worst, but man, that that didn't look good.

(01:42:08):
I'll see you back here on Wednesday night for the
date of my recap. Until then, take care of guys.
