stag team champions we get Sheamus versus Grayson Waller.
I don't know if I was excited tosee that or just I don't think
it was excitement. Valkyria, she comes out and she

crazy way. We'll get more into that.
We got so much more. Finn and and DJ Madonna, they

Of life under the the warriors thrive, feel the.
Roar here, the crowd. 'S the man.
It's Monday night. Let's take a stand.

Monday nights going out, you rapist.
(02:49):
In this arena, we live all day. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
episode 29 of Monday Night Wrestling podcast.
I'm your host, your solo, your lonely host tonight, Kane
(03:10):
couldn't be here. I think this Hulk Hogan thing
really hit him really, really, really hard.
So that's all the, you know, send out condoses out to Kang as
well. Because I, I don't know how well
he's taking this stuff right here.
He's been AWOL. He's been AWOL.
I don't know what's going on. You know, I got to talk to him.
(03:32):
I could have sworn he was a Randy Savage guy.
I could have sworn he was a Randy Savage guy.
But I mean, this Hulk Hogan thing probably hit him again.
So yeah, it's just me, y'all, it's just me.
I don't know, just just fucking me.
I know. I I fucking know.
(03:55):
So yeah, like I said, we're fivedays away from fucking summer
slam. We're live in Detroit, MI
Commentary by Coy Graves and Michael Cole.
So over, I would say over the past week, we we've got some sad
(04:20):
news that the immortal Hulk Hogan at the age of 71 has went
into the big heavens. The big ring up in the sky,
brah. Yeah.
(04:40):
So Hulk Hogan has passed away. And let me tell you, I've heard
so many people, so many media outlets talk about Hulk Hogan,
and I'm talking about outlets that I don't even see people.
You know, what was it, Worldstarhiphop?
(05:01):
I seen the source put out some stuff.
I seen CNN and everything. And this just proves how big of
a star this guy was. I'm going to get a little bit
more into Hulk Hogan after I ain't gonna say after the show
at the end of the show, OK? And I'm going to give my
(05:24):
thoughts and my opinions on how I feel about Hulk Hogan, the
death of Hogan, the life of Hogan and the controversy
moments as well. So y'all make sure y'all hang in
there, man. So we start off with a Hulk
Hogan 10 bell salute. Everyone's out there except for
(05:52):
two wrestlers who was there but not on stage for the salute.
So stay tuned as we get into thegossip.
That's right, that good old Mac gossip.
We got some of that coming up inthe show as well.
So it won't be no hot tags with King.
(06:12):
I know. Hey, you know, what can we say?
Yeah. So after the 10 bell salute, we
start off with Jay USO. I mean, this guy is hyping up
the tag team match dad, him and his cousin Roman Reigns, which
(06:33):
they will be facing off against Team Bra Braun.
That's Braun Breaker and BronsonReed, big Bronson Reed.
Then before Jay could even, you know, run it back 'cause he came
out yeating and stuff and beforehe go run it back, Paul Heyman
interrupted Jay USO and wanted to play mind games on trusting
(06:57):
Roman Reigns and kept talking about how his family lied to him
always and Jay told him it's always family first.
You know, Jay was so promo. This promo was horrible.
You know Jay, you need to work on that because I don't know
(07:21):
what it is. Maybe it's the Yeaton.
I don't know what it is, but it sound like you're out of breath.
It sounds like you're tired because duh.
With me. With what word?
And then you gotta walk around back and forth cause two things.
(07:43):
And then you you want to run it back, you know, and I was
blinded by the yeet chance. I was so blinded.
I was so busy eating everywhere.But now I see Jay USO sucks when
it comes to the cutting the promos, and I know some of y'all
(08:05):
would like you. Well, you just learning that
yes, that's why I was blinded. I forgot it something happened.
But yes, this promo was just it was horrible.
It was it's always family. Oh, OK, go up running back and
(08:30):
then you do your funny ass turn around that that's entertaining.
But that promo is just you got to get the crowd in it.
That's what he's doing. You trying to get the crowd into
it. That's the only way they're
going to enjoy that because justhearing you talk was fucking.
I'm sorry, bro. Phenomenal wrestler, phenomenal
(08:51):
entertainer. But the promos, yeah, you you
just need some help. Just like Roman needed help and
Paul came so go talk to Paul sometime, you know, get a little
bit more infant pick their brains go backstage pick some
people brains and shit. You know, don't don't pick
Rakishi's brain. You know he's he's never been
(09:12):
good with promos either. Never.
So come on, am I fucking lying Anyway, so we go from there.
We go to this six person mixed tag match, which is AJ style and
they're Kabuki Warriors versus Judgement day.
(09:33):
That's Dominic Mysterio, the IC champion.
Dominic Mysterio. All right, y'all got to put some
respect on that. I don't know the last time he
fucking, you know, he put this belt on the line, but shit, he
also showed up at the AAA event that happened this past weekend.
(09:56):
So he's been a busy, busy, busy little boy.
But yeah, they went off against them and Roxanne and Rochelle
for the you know who the women'stag team champions that is.
It started with AJ and Dom untilDom said fuck this shit and tag
(10:17):
Rochelle then, which put Oscar into the face.
Just she just, you know, she, itwas a lot going on with that
match. Dom was scared as hell.
He didn't want to get in that match.
He didn't want to fuck with Oscar.
He didn't want to do nothing. And when Kyrie was running
(10:38):
towards Roxanne in the corner and Dom pulled her away and she
hit them damn turnbuckles boy she hit that turn bugle hard as
fuck. Oh that was a cool spot.
I love good shit like that. So while Kyrie tagged in AJ
Styles, the crowd went crazy because they couldn't wait to AJ
(11:00):
get his hands on Dom. The crowd went crazy and AJ
started kicking some ass. Roxanne shield Dom from getting
the Phenomenal Forearm which ledto Kyrie bouncing off the ropes
and running into AJ for boost togo over the ropes onto Raquel.
(11:21):
Raquel outside of the ring and finally he hit the Phenomenal
Forearm and connects against Dominique for the 123 count.
So AJ picks up that victory. I'm pretty sure something weird
is going to happen at summer slam where Dom probably keep the
icy belt that that's what I'm calling for.
(11:41):
But to see AJ get the belt, I, Iwould lie.
I think he would be a great person to hold that title.
I'm rooting for AJ to to get it,but I I think Don's going to
find some weird sneaky way to keep that belt.
I honestly do because you got tohave that Finn versus Dominic
(12:03):
Mysterio possibly leading up to,you know, WrestleMania.
That's just my thoughts on that.I could be wrong.
I could be wrong. So am I interested in this match
for SummerSlam? Yes, I am.
I do want to see it. I hope they learn more towards
AJ Styles to win this IC title. So up next we end up getting
(12:27):
Sheamus versus Grayson Waller. I mean at some point Sheamus
smacked Waller in the chest and it made Waller walk around with
his chest. Like I mean like he had his
muscles just popping out and every.
It was funny as he was looking so damn swollen and appeared to
(12:47):
look stronger than what he actually really looks like.
Like it. It was just hilarious.
And then it was a tornado DDT off the turnbuckle onto the
apron, which Waller put that on Sheamus, and Sheamus landed so
fucking safely that it didn't even look like it hurt it.
(13:08):
I don't know. He landed on his side shoulder.
I get it. It was the safest way.
I'd rather him do that than to actually go for it.
If you can't get get it, you know?
But I don't know it it was just kind of weird for me.
So Shamus didn't want to hurt himself, so that's great.
But Shamus dominated this match and he was going for the bro
(13:32):
kick and then Rousseff came out and interrupted, but was
clothesline onto the apron and Waller went for a roll up pin,
got a 2 count and then went for a clothesline.
It was reversed into a broke kick from Sheamus and the three
count. And then Rusev came back in, put
(13:53):
Sheamus in the accolades and anduntil authority had to come out
to get him off of them. So they're really hyping this
Sheamus versus Rusev part three.You know of this series, 'cause
I'm sure they've faced before many years ago.
(14:14):
I, I, I hope this turns out to be a good man.
I know these guys can do it, butat some point, you know it, it
really looks like shame is I'm just happy to see Sheamus out
there, you know, it's like, you know that guy, I have to see him
still working, man. He's still working, man.
(14:35):
Look at him. Still got it.
Look at that boy, man, He used to do that back when I was God
damn 22. So that's what I get from
Sheamus. I don't know if it's just me.
I'm just proud to see him get onthe top rope and do a sloppy ass
clothesline, you know? But I'm expecting to see him to
(14:58):
slip off. So yeah.
Then we get Lyra Valkyria who comes out and speaks on Becky
Lynch as she showed up with her Becky Stumpers on, which was
some big ass goofy ass shoes shewas wearing.
You know, she was just yapping her mouth in the ring.
(15:20):
And thank God for Becky's music coming on as Becky was under the
ring or something, but she really got behind her quick
cause the music just was playingand Lyra was kind of waiting for
her. But she ended up being like
behind Lyra. And then she turned to the crowd
and be like, yeah, yeah, I ain'tknow I was going to be here.
(15:43):
And then Lyra just bounced off the ropes and kicked her ass
through the ropes, you know, andthen ticked the took the kendu
stick and beat the hell out of Becky's ass.
That's what happened. I mean just kept whipping her
ass with it. So that's the last final promo
(16:03):
until SummerSlam. This doesn't even sound or feel
like a serious match. These promos wasn't serious
enough. You know the can do stick shit.
It was very predictable. I mean, I got Becky winning
(16:30):
this, I got Becky winning this. And then possibly they do a
rematch for WrestleMania at somepoint, which I'm hoping I'm
wrong, but I really want to see Becky take on a couple other
(16:50):
people, you know, that they havenow.
You know, I would love Becky versus Naomi.
I would love that. I know they're both champions,
but I would love to see that. So maybe it'll be good if Lyra
wins. Hey, fuck it.
Chelsea Green and the Secret Service and the women's
(17:15):
champion, Naomi. Speaking of, Naomi went up
against EO, Skye Hi EO and Stephanie Vaquet.
Nikki Bella in rear Rippery, also known as Rear Rippery, Rear
Ripley is what I'm saying. Ladies and gentlemen, in a four
(17:36):
women's tag team match, Nikki still got some jiggle on her ass
too. I just want to let y'all know
that because I know y'all seen it if I've seen it, you know, I
think Nikki Bella, she got to beabout 70 years old, but she has
some jiggle in her ass. And I said look at that.
(17:57):
You go white girl. She she, you know, ain't nothing
wrong when you see a white girl with a jig in the ass.
She do. But this ended with Stephanie
Vakker bomb. The Stephanie Vakker bomb on
Chelsea for the win. And this was a cool match.
It was a cool match, but it didn't have enough.
(18:19):
What am I looking for? Memorable.
We didn't have enough memorable moments.
So yeah, after that we get Finn Balor and JD Madonna for the
Judgement Day versus LWO for thetag team titles.
(18:39):
If you can remember past Monday Night Raw LWO one inside that of
what was it four way tag team match, triple threat something
and they beat the new day and I believe Creed Brothers was
involved as well. Yeah, yeah.
(19:00):
So they end up getting a win. Yeah, it was Creed Brothers.
So they end up getting a win LWOand that's lead to tonight's
match versus judgement day for the tag team titles.
This match was good tag team action from both teams.
All right, it it was good tag team action there and I really
have to give them their props. This was a good tag team match.
(19:27):
It really was. Then El Grande Kaiser came out
and was chased out by Dragon Leeand then we get another El
Grande, which some people are wondering who could it be?
I've heard some people throw what you call name around.
(19:49):
What was his name? Butch.
His name Butch. I don't know what else they
called him, but yeah, it was Butch.
It will, it will he do? Got another name and I can't
fucking remember but some peoplesay it was him.
Some people think it's other people from another company.
(20:09):
I don't know who it is, but now it seems like we have two El
Grande Americanos, OK. And so once he came out, he
stopped Elwo from almost winningthe tag team titles.
I believe this was their shot toactually win and they were
(20:31):
stopped by this new El Grande but with a big stump from the
top ropes from Finn Balor got the three count for the
judgement day to retain the tag team titles.
That is one of those matches I would say y'all need to go back
(20:52):
and look at that was a good tag team match.
Just go back and look at it for shits and giggles.
You know, it's probably about a good 8-9 minute match.
So go back, check it out man. You know, I love tag team
matches that that give that goodteamwork and everyone got that
(21:13):
high energy and and action-packed type of you know,
blood flowing through. Good match, entertaining.
So yeah, we also get Gotha. Gunther comes out.
He talks one-on-one with TimothyPunk.
That's what he want. He wants Timothy Punk to come
(21:33):
out. The crowd kept cheering.
CEM Punk. CEM Punk as Gunther just stand
there saying he left the voice of the Voiceless speechless last
week, saying he will never be champion.
And so, shortly after that, CM Punk music hits.
(21:58):
It comes to personality. So yeah, that came on.
And you know, the crowd, they'rethey're going crazy.
They're going crazy. They stand in the ring together,
Punk said. He wasn't speechless, He was
(22:18):
dumbfounded. He said he, you know, it dawned
on him that he don't want to be champion.
Nah they don't want to be champion.
So what y'all think he's going to say?
B because he I mean how the fuckI skipped it?
BA because he already been champion, B because he needs to
(22:45):
be the world champion or C he just want to kick Gunther's ass
Boom boom boom boom boom boom. Alright, fuck it, it's B he went
for I needs to be world champion.
So if y'all pick dad, congratulation to yourselves.
(23:10):
Congratulations. I think that'll be a fun game to
do. We we, we do the promos and then
we kind of hey, fill in the blank.
Which one you think he said? Y'all think we should do that?
Give us some thumbs up or thumbsdown.
Let us know. Let us know in the comments if
you think so. That'll be something you would
be interested in seeing. Yeah.
So he was like, man, I've been dumb fan, I needs to be world
(23:32):
champion. CM Punk was working the crowd,
he was talking to the crowd, he was hyping the crowd up.
He was getting them into it. Gunther had enough and
interrupted CM Punk, but CM Punkput his hand over the mic and
was like, uh huh. He said I'm not done.
Basically CM Punk is going to show him why he's the best in
(23:57):
the world. And then he dropped the mic, I
guess, and he left Gunther speechless.
So who's going to win this matchhere?
Gunther versus CM Punk? CM Punk does have the crowd on
(24:25):
his side. I do believe people would like
to see him with the belt becausepeople don't think he'll ever
get it because of what he did tothe company and how he left the
company and things like that. But and and I'm mentioning the
(24:46):
backstage stuff because sometimes that play into what
what your character can be in inthe sports period, you know, So
I don't know. I don't know if they trust him
enough to have the world title, but I do know they believe that
he could push and get more than what Jay USO brought in and more
(25:13):
than what Gunther is bringing inas far as popularity, as far as
entertaining, as far as all the above the mic skills and all.
Gunther's not entertaining to me, but it's mic skills are it's
it's damn near up there. I love his style and his
(25:37):
wrestling abilities is great, but he's not entertainer.
I think CM Punk is all three. You know, his wrestling
abilities are good. I mean, he's getting a little
older too, so you know, but yeah, man, Gunther, I wouldn't
be surprised if Gunther keep it.I would like CM Punk to win it.
(25:59):
I think that'll be great for CM Punk to win this.
So I'm going to go with CM Punk.I'm going to go to CM Punk.
And that's why they had to get the bet off Jay USO.
Let's be real, let's be real, let's be real.
So we get the main event for thenight, Jay USO versus Bronson
(26:24):
Reed with Paul Heyman by him side.
Now, earlier in the show, we hada backstage promo where Brian
Breaker had a bright idea. He said I got a deal.
I got a idea. Yeah, I got a idea.
Yeah. And, well, I guess the idea
(26:45):
worked later on in this program.So when Jay USO walked down the
entrance, he looked like he was pissed.
He can't walk through the crowd anymore, you know, like he came
from the crowd at 1st and I think that would have been like,
I don't need all that shit. Just go to the ring now.
(27:05):
You know, we we ain't got that. We ain't getting too much camera
time. So he looked like he was pissed
off, like just walking down regular just wasn't wasn't good
enough. Match wasn't going anywhere.
But it led to the outside of thering where Braun Breaker came in
(27:25):
and speared Jay USO and the entrance.
So what I mean by the match wasn't going anywhere.
This match was just them just bumping, just falling and
tossing and jumping and flopping.
It wasn't really shit going on. It wasn't no storytelling.
It was almost play around until you get to this spot.
(27:48):
God damn it. Why does all that sound sexual?
Is that just me? I'm sorry, I'm I'm sorry.
So Brian breaker came in and speared God damn it, but that's
what he did. He speared him.
He speared Jay USO in the entrance way, then started
(28:08):
double teaming. Oh fuck, started double teaming
Jay. Then Roman music came on as as
Bron Brahms double team in jail.So Bron Roman Reigns music came
on. The crowd goes.
I mean they're just crazy over them.
They're like he, Roman graced uswith his presence.
(28:30):
And you know, Roman came in and Bron was looking like it was his
plan all along to get Roman out there because when he seen him,
he gave a little smuggling. Yeah, we got your slicked back
haired ass. We got you slicked back and
(28:56):
Roman came in, cleared the ring.He went to pick up Bronson Reed
and was stopped as Roman and Jaystood tall and Jay super kicked
Bron off of the the apron and Roman Superman punch Bronson off
of the apron. Then they set up for outside
(29:16):
double spear on Bron bronze, butthat was stopped by both Bron
and Bronson and set Jay USO witha super super spear inside the
ring like he just held them up and and let Bron bounce from
rope to rope and then let him goand bronze just the goddamn
(29:39):
spear and that put him out. And then Bronson Reese said we
ain't dying. So he climbed his chubby ass on
that damn ropes and he gave him a damn tsunami tsunami on J
fucking news. So y'all I wonder if he going to
(30:02):
bring out the tapes when when something slam happened.
I don't know, maybe. But so yeah, after all that
happened, then they took focus on Roman Reigns while Roman was
leaning on the announce taper, Brian Breaker, so genuinely and
just cool and relax. And he he stepped over the, you
(30:24):
know, in between the ropes and he stepped on the apron.
I'm thought he, I'm thinking he's about to slow walk, you
know, hop down off the apron, walk up to him and talking shit.
Probably, you know, smack him inthe face a couple of times or
something. Uh huh.
He stood on that apron and did the flying clothes line from the
apron to the fucking announce table.
(30:47):
Yes, the fuck he did. They put Roman back into the
ring and then we got a tsunami on Roman Reigns.
Now, as Roman Reigns, teeth justpoking out of his mouth and
Braun telling Roman that everyone works for him, he said
(31:08):
everyone works for me. You see the cameraman, he works
for me. You see these ropes?
These ropes are mine. This ring, this ring is mine.
That announced table, there's mine.
(31:29):
He just, oh man, he just was just talking shit.
Then they tossed Roman out of the ring and set up a double
spear. And I mean, this is Bronson Reed
and Brown Breaker running and Spearing J USO and Roman Reigns
(31:52):
through the barricade, both of them at the same damn time.
So we did get to see a double spear, then Bronson.
Now this is this gotta be some of the illest shit.
It it was some illness, but it was some weird shit too.
So Bronson Reed as Roman Reigns is just laid out.
(32:17):
Bronson Reed did some of the illest shit.
And I'm telling you right now, this is my OMG moment of the
night. And that is right.
So I, you know what, before we even finish this, I want to go
ahead and see, do we have that? Can I put that on 'cause I want
(32:38):
to do my OMG moment of the night?
Or should I wait to then I, I'lljust wait to then I'll keep it
traditional. I'll keep it traditional.
But that is my OMG moment of thenight right there.
He took Roman Reigns, OK? He took his joys.
He took Roman Reigns JS off his feet, bro.
(33:03):
He took his Jordans off his feet.
OK, I ain't never seen that in wrestling.
Well, motherfucker got Jack for his Jordans live in front of
everybody on Netflix in a wrestling event.
(33:27):
First time ever. I loved it.
I was like, that's some gangstershit.
I said maybe if you put that shit in the briefcase, that
would have been even more gangster shit.
Paul Heyman still got the briefcase.
Put the Jays in the briefcase. You want these Jays back?
Roman Reigns, you better beat usand and open up that briefcase
(33:48):
motherfucker, and take your Jaysback.
But leave Seth Rollins contract in there.
You just take them goddamn Jays and and and don't touch brown
Breakers sun tanning cream, you son of a bitch.
That's all they had to do. But right then and there, it got
(34:08):
weird. OK, it got weird then.
These are the Jordan spicyks. OK, Spicyks, the Spike Lee
joints, the Spicyks and he and he took them.
These are the lows that he just took them spiked the spizzite
(34:28):
lows. He took them now.
Now let me tell you where where he fell off.
It was gangster until he did this.
He kissed he I don't know if he it looked like he kissed the
Jordans. He yeah, I look, I don't know if
(34:50):
he really kissed him or just sniffed him or licked him or
either way, another man, Jay shouldn't be that goddamn close
to your motherfucking face. I mean, the way his cheeks and
eyes was looking, it looked likehe gave them up a nice kiss.
Like I love Jordan's. It looked weird, though.
(35:12):
I wouldn't do that anymore. But yes, that was hell of a
fucking ending right there. I was not expecting that at all.
So shout out to WWE for doing that.
This was a this was a OK Monday Night raw.
It wasn't the best, you know, itdidn't feel to everything that
(35:37):
they did for the past, you know,two weeks.
This one was probably the least entertaining, and I'm pretty
sure some of that could have something to do with the passion
of Hulk Hogan and, you know, stuff like that.
So yeah, man. So what I want to do now is get
(35:58):
to the one and only Oh my Gee, moment of the night.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome tothe Oh my Moments of the night.
(36:21):
This is Mac Network. That's right, you son of a
bitches. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
My moment of the night, Like I said earlier, like I said a few
damn minutes ago, my moment of the night is taking the Jays off
the feet. Taking the Jays off the feet,
(36:44):
that is my Oh my Gee moment of the night.
Some of y'all might be Roman Reigns appeared or something
like that. I don't think too much happened
today that made you know momentsof the day.
But since Kang isn't here to give his OMG the Oh my Gee
(37:05):
moment of the night, I am going to Simply put this in default
and hand this to his. Moment of the night was the past
Hulk Hogan the 10 bell salute solet's just go ahead and.
Let's call it like that. Let's call it like that.
I got the Jays on the feet by default.
(37:29):
Kane got the, you know, Hulk Hogan 10 bell salute.
So thank you so much, ladies andgentlemen.
That was the end of Monday NightRaw for June the 27th that had.
Happened there. So I do have something to talk
(37:52):
about. Like I said, we were going to
get into the Hulk Hogan. Not want to get into the Hulk
Hogan thing real quick. Now dealing with that.
Kevin Nash had some things. To say about Hulk Hogan, well
about people who've said stuff about Hulk Hogan, we're going to
get a little bit in that as wellso I'm.
(38:15):
Going to say the good. Stuff.
Hulk Hogan is the most noticeable wrestler of all time.
I'm. I'm going to say that.
And Ric Flair, the man I think is probably the second most
noticeable wrestler of all time,and he even says it's Hulk.
(38:41):
Hawk is number 1. He is.
There's no doubt in my mind if he is.
And he was the first big superstar specially for me when
it came. To superstar it was.
Hulk Hogan. And I'm that guy.
I don't like to pick or to pretend, you know, when you're
(39:02):
kids and you pretend to be wrestlers.
I didn't want to be the most popular 1, so I always had to
avoid Hulk Hogan I. Would be Macho Man I.
Would be ultimate warrior and and some of you can say, oh,
that was damn near equal. Not overall, not in this
lifetime. They were great, they were
wonderful. There are legends, there are
(39:23):
icons, there are wrestling gods,but not like that man was.
So I, I just want to be able to get all that out there.
And he's definitely on the MountRushmore.
He should be on everyone. 'S Mount Rushmore.
If we're talking about wrestlingnow, of course he did some
(39:46):
stuff. So he died from a cardiac
arrest. His Last Post, I believe it was
him about to lay on the beach. Had some American beer you.
Know on him and stuff. Like that and later on that day
I I believe it was that day he passed away.
(40:10):
It it it was. It was.
Surprising, you know, cuz a couple of weeks ago we even
mentioned that at one point theysaid he was in the hospital.
It's not looking good. And then a source would say Hulk
Hogan's just fine. He went in for neck surgery,
which for him to be out there and laying on the beach and you
(40:31):
know, doing this and that, he probably did think he was fine
or the doctors probably did think he was fine you.
Know and. I thought it was something to
get some attention, you know, last week, you know, why are you
keeping his name in the news andall that stuff if his sources
(40:52):
are saying he's fine and like I said last week or this past
week, he end up dying. And now the story.
'S coming out. Oh, he wasn't looking good,
which these were the stories that was coming out too.
So I think someone probably saidsomething about it.
(41:16):
And he didn't want. That to be.
That that's what I. Honestly think someone did see
him and go, oh man, yeah, you'renot, you're not looking good.
And someone talked to somebody probably got a little money for
it and he hurry up and send a source out there too defend that
and say no, he's good. He just had neck surgery, he's
(41:37):
recovering from that, you know, and here's a a coincidence.
Hulk Hogan was fired from the WWE on July 24th, 2015.
And that was the whole, you know, the.
Situation that occurred. After the tape featuring Hogan
(41:57):
making racist comments, including repeating the use of
the N word, it was leaked to themedia and the comments were made
during a private conversation recorded in 2007 as that surface
part of the lawsuit Hogan had filed against what was it,
(42:18):
Gawker Media, regarding the sex tape.
Now, that's when that part come in.
But from what I just said, he was fired from the WWE on July
24th, 2015. Exactly 10 years later, July
(42:40):
24th, 2025, he passed away. Then don't that give you.
Goose pimples, you damn sure do me.
So let's go ahead and knock all the shit out of the way and
let's get to the racist part andthe most memorable part.
(43:07):
In the words. Of Hulk Hogan saying the the the
word *** basically. OK when you see someone.
At all that shit I just said on how he's you know the immortal
Hulk Hogan, the biggest wrestling star of all time ever
(43:30):
he's on the Mount Rushmore and all that he told you eat your
vitamins and your prayers and goto sleep and wipe your ass.
He he he was teaching us how to do good shit you.
Know he had the cartoons. Out I went and go see that no
holds barred that that weak ass shit.
(43:50):
I tried looking at this shit as an adult.
I said what the fuck was I watching?
But as a kid I loved it. Why?
Because Hulk Hogan was in it. He was in it.
What was that ninjas movie? Where he had the the kids as
ninjas and he was like some big ass old ninja.
I don't know, it was just crazy.I watched Thunder in Paradise
(44:12):
because Hogan was in it. And.
For you to be this bigger than life guy.
And then to hear you. Speak on black people as the
word *** Or *** I don't. I don't know if you put the ER
(44:34):
at the end of it or not, but because he's white, I'm going to
say *** OK, that can tarnish a lot.
So. What, uh, Kevin Nash had to say
was Kevin Nash said he's dead. Think about his kids, think
(44:57):
about his friends and his family.
And if you don't have anything good to say, shut the fuck up.
That's what Big Sexy Kevin. Nash said.
That's what he said. Yeah.
And then I. Say shut the.
Fuck up. I don't know.
(45:22):
What I got to say is if it's nice, I, I, I would say it's
nice because I think it's educational and that's for some.
Of you out there who's? Gone.
He's dead. I don't.
You can't just. He's dead.
So what? He said and.
Like I've read some comments outthere who said you can't tell
(45:43):
black people how to feel about someone after they die after
you've been calling them *** allfucking time.
This guy you saying? *** to you're comfortable saying
*** to this guy is almost like you've said this before.
He's used to you saying that when you talk about black
people. So yes, it's different.
(46:06):
And what? Did I mention there were two
people who was attending RAW? That happened this past week and
they were not there for the Tin Bell salute.
And those two people were XavierWoods and Kofi Kingston.
Kofi Kingston. They they.
(46:27):
Didn't go there. Why?
I'll tell you why, in the great words of the immortal Hulk
Hogan, when his daughter was dating a black man, he said.
I mean, I'd rather she's going to fuck some *** I'd rather have
(46:53):
her marry a 8 foot tall *** worth $100 million brother like
a. Basketball.
Player dude. Then you know something else,
brother. I guess we're all a little
racist fucking *** that's what he said So.
(47:17):
He's talking about *** Who's? Less than 8 feet tall.
He's talking about all you *** who make less than 100 million.
Hello I. Ain't making no 100 million.
So he's talking to me so if I was dating his daughter he'll be
saying shit. Why you couldn't be one of them
(47:38):
8 foot *** Why you ain't making 100 million?
*** You know would. It have been different if you if
she was dating a white man who made 50,000 a year.
You know, But here's the tricky part.
(48:04):
You were in, you thought. You were in private
conversation. You didn't expect to be.
Recorded and let's be honest, when we're all in private
conversations, sometimes we. Tend to say some shit.
That we don't want everybody else to know about.
(48:27):
Let's be honest, you know how many people I call?
Retired. OK, I.
Use that word loosely. I'm trying to get better at it.
That's. Right, I'm trying to get fucking
better. At it, but that don't.
(48:52):
Mean I need you to. Record me and put it out there
and, and send it to, you know, the government.
Let it show up at. My job, you know, so that friend
of yours at the time wasn't really your friend.
(49:14):
If he's recording you. Saying race is shit and also had
your little sex tape of you fucking your son's
ex-girlfriend. I mean, let's be honest.
This we're we're watching this and I know some people.
(49:35):
Oh man, let's not talk about that.
You have to everything. He did.
That we've learned. We watched him on TV and now
when you watching him on TV and you're starting to see, you
know, his family. Hogan knows best, brother.
Oh, we getting into Hogan. We were the reason that show was
(49:56):
successful, because we was watching it because it's Hogan.
So now. You're getting to know his.
Family and all this shit, and then you see the family fucking
separate right in front of your eyes.
You see Brooke Hogan start. Dating this person, dating that
person, getting into the wrestling shit, Bubba Ray
(50:18):
kissing her and you're seeing all this shit.
You seeing a a Hulk? Hogan son Nick Hogan having shit
done with his best friend. Car accident.
Somebody died and all that, or almost died or driving drunk or
some shit. Now all this shit is reaching
(50:39):
the media. And they're tagging wrestling in
it. So you have no choice but to see
this shit. And then on top of.
That around this time we're talking to early 2000s, this
recording came out, well, it came out in 2000 and what 1415
but the recording? Happened in two. 1007.
(51:05):
So yeah, a lot of us were. Still in high school or fresh
out so. We're talking way back then.
When we are watching Hogan Knowsbest and shit.
And then? You turn around and you.
Have you know you like? I say you fucking you, your
(51:26):
son's ex-girlfriend. And so we get to watch our
superhero fuck. That's what we did.
We already. Watched Xavier.
Woods and what's the other girl name?
What's what's, what's the? I don't know her fucking name, I
forgot her name, but we watched their little porn.
(51:51):
And now we got fucking. Hulk Hogan porn.
And then we got to hear. Him talk about *** this, ***
that. So yes, I you can't.
Help it, I'm sorry. Kevin Nash, I agree.
With you, if you have nothing nice to show you shut the fuck
(52:12):
up. But at the same time you got to.
Look at your hero and. Then listen to your hero say
something that that you know, insults you.
And and everyone that you've. Grown to love and grew up with
and call family and call friends.
(52:36):
But it's that privacy. You have to protect which means.
You have to know who. You have in your circle if he
knew. What he had in his.
Circle and his Circle knew to keep shit quiet the.
Hulk Hogan that we've. Lost this week I think would
(52:59):
have had the correct send off that we all wanted.
'Cause he, you know he. Would have been praised.
He still would. Have been looked at as.
A God because that's all he done.
But seeing the bad parts. And all that stuff we understand
(53:21):
he was just a human being, but some of.
The stuff that he. Did I can't get mad at somebody
for not paying their respects inthe traditional way or.
Paying their respects at all. That's like if your.
Slave Master. Died and you pay your respects.
(53:41):
That's how some people. Are looking at it.
You. Think we all *** and.
You want me to go over there andsay rest in peace, Hulk Hogan?
But some of us like. Myself know how to separate.
Business. From personal personal issues,
(54:04):
business wise, Hulk Hogan deserves to be.
Noticed. And acknowledged as a wrestling
God. Also, Chris Benoit needs to be
noticed, respected as a wrestling technician.
(54:29):
A technical wrestling God. 'Cause if we're talking about
the Kurt Angles and the Bret Hart's.
You better put. Motherfucking Chris Benoit up
there. I don't want you none of that.
Shit, y'all talking about Chris Benoit?
Better be up there. Accept it.
(54:52):
I ain't never. Hear Chris Benoit call me.
And my family *** OK, so. That that's all I want to say on
that part, man. Rest in peace, Hulk Hogan.
Ah, man. We lost you, man.

crazy way. We'll get more into that.
We got so much more. Finn and and DJ Madonna, they

(01:58):
Monday night. Wrestling shouted out the wings.
Of life under the the warriors thrive, feel the.
Roar here, the crowd. 'S the man.
It's Monday night. Let's take a stand.
Bodies clash. The tension grows in the squared
circle. Anything goes.
(02:19):

A glorious pain. Heroes rise till it falls.
In this battle we'll give it all.
The bell tolls. The fighting nights prepare for
war. It's Monday nights.
Monday nights going out, you rapist.
(02:49):
In this arena, we live all day. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
episode 29 of Monday Night Wrestling podcast.
I'm your host, your solo, your lonely host tonight, Kane
(03:10):
couldn't be here. I think this Hulk Hogan thing
really hit him really, really, really hard.
So that's all the, you know, send out condoses out to Kang as
well. Because I, I don't know how well
he's taking this stuff right here.
He's been AWOL. He's been AWOL.
I don't know what's going on. You know, I got to talk to him.
(03:32):
I could have sworn he was a Randy Savage guy.
I could have sworn he was a Randy Savage guy.
But I mean, this Hulk Hogan thing probably hit him again.
So yeah, it's just me, y'all, it's just me.
I don't know, just just fucking me.
I know. I I fucking know.
(03:55):
So yeah, like I said, we're fivedays away from fucking summer
slam. We're live in Detroit, MI
Commentary by Coy Graves and Michael Cole.
So over, I would say over the past week, we we've got some sad
(04:20):
news that the immortal Hulk Hogan at the age of 71 has went
into the big heavens. The big ring up in the sky,
brah. Yeah.
(04:40):
So Hulk Hogan has passed away. And let me tell you, I've heard
so many people, so many media outlets talk about Hulk Hogan,
and I'm talking about outlets that I don't even see people.
You know, what was it, Worldstarhiphop?
(05:01):
I seen the source put out some stuff.
I seen CNN and everything. And this just proves how big of
a star this guy was. I'm going to get a little bit
more into Hulk Hogan after I ain't gonna say after the show
at the end of the show, OK? And I'm going to give my
(05:24):
thoughts and my opinions on how I feel about Hulk Hogan, the
death of Hogan, the life of Hogan and the controversy
moments as well. So y'all make sure y'all hang in
there, man. So we start off with a Hulk
Hogan 10 bell salute. Everyone's out there except for
(05:52):
two wrestlers who was there but not on stage for the salute.
So stay tuned as we get into thegossip.
That's right, that good old Mac gossip.
We got some of that coming up inthe show as well.
So it won't be no hot tags with King.
(06:12):
I know. Hey, you know, what can we say?
Yeah. So after the 10 bell salute, we
start off with Jay USO. I mean, this guy is hyping up
the tag team match dad, him and his cousin Roman Reigns, which
(06:33):
they will be facing off against Team Bra Braun.
That's Braun Breaker and BronsonReed, big Bronson Reed.
Then before Jay could even, you know, run it back 'cause he came
out yeating and stuff and beforehe go run it back, Paul Heyman
interrupted Jay USO and wanted to play mind games on trusting
(06:57):
Roman Reigns and kept talking about how his family lied to him
always and Jay told him it's always family first.
You know, Jay was so promo. This promo was horrible.
You know Jay, you need to work on that because I don't know
(07:21):
what it is. Maybe it's the Yeaton.
I don't know what it is, but it sound like you're out of breath.
It sounds like you're tired because duh.
With me. With what word?
And then you gotta walk around back and forth cause two things.
(07:43):
And then you you want to run it back, you know, and I was
blinded by the yeet chance. I was so blinded.
I was so busy eating everywhere.But now I see Jay USO sucks when
it comes to the cutting the promos, and I know some of y'all
(08:05):
would like you. Well, you just learning that
yes, that's why I was blinded. I forgot it something happened.
But yes, this promo was just it was horrible.
It was it's always family. Oh, OK, go up running back and
(08:30):
then you do your funny ass turn around that that's entertaining.
But that promo is just you got to get the crowd in it.
That's what he's doing. You trying to get the crowd into
it. That's the only way they're
going to enjoy that because justhearing you talk was fucking.
I'm sorry, bro. Phenomenal wrestler, phenomenal
(08:51):
entertainer. But the promos, yeah, you you
just need some help. Just like Roman needed help and
Paul came so go talk to Paul sometime, you know, get a little
bit more infant pick their brains go backstage pick some
people brains and shit. You know, don't don't pick
Rakishi's brain. You know he's he's never been
(09:12):
good with promos either. Never.
So come on, am I fucking lying Anyway, so we go from there.
We go to this six person mixed tag match, which is AJ style and
they're Kabuki Warriors versus Judgement day.
(09:33):
That's Dominic Mysterio, the IC champion.
Dominic Mysterio. All right, y'all got to put some
respect on that. I don't know the last time he
fucking, you know, he put this belt on the line, but shit, he
also showed up at the AAA event that happened this past weekend.
(09:56):
So he's been a busy, busy, busy little boy.
But yeah, they went off against them and Roxanne and Rochelle
for the you know who the women'stag team champions that is.
It started with AJ and Dom untilDom said fuck this shit and tag
(10:17):
Rochelle then, which put Oscar into the face.
Just she just, you know, she, itwas a lot going on with that
match. Dom was scared as hell.
He didn't want to get in that match.
He didn't want to fuck with Oscar.
He didn't want to do nothing. And when Kyrie was running
(10:38):
towards Roxanne in the corner and Dom pulled her away and she
hit them damn turnbuckles boy she hit that turn bugle hard as
fuck. Oh that was a cool spot.
I love good shit like that. So while Kyrie tagged in AJ
Styles, the crowd went crazy because they couldn't wait to AJ
(11:00):
get his hands on Dom. The crowd went crazy and AJ
started kicking some ass. Roxanne shield Dom from getting
the Phenomenal Forearm which ledto Kyrie bouncing off the ropes
and running into AJ for boost togo over the ropes onto Raquel.
(11:21):
Raquel outside of the ring and finally he hit the Phenomenal
Forearm and connects against Dominique for the 123 count.
So AJ picks up that victory. I'm pretty sure something weird
is going to happen at summer slam where Dom probably keep the
icy belt that that's what I'm calling for.
(11:41):
But to see AJ get the belt, I, Iwould lie.
I think he would be a great person to hold that title.
I'm rooting for AJ to to get it,but I I think Don's going to
find some weird sneaky way to keep that belt.
I honestly do because you got tohave that Finn versus Dominic
(12:03):
Mysterio possibly leading up to,you know, WrestleMania.
That's just my thoughts on that.I could be wrong.
I could be wrong. So am I interested in this match
for SummerSlam? Yes, I am.
I do want to see it. I hope they learn more towards
AJ Styles to win this IC title. So up next we end up getting
(12:27):
Sheamus versus Grayson Waller. I mean at some point Sheamus
smacked Waller in the chest and it made Waller walk around with
his chest. Like I mean like he had his
muscles just popping out and every.
It was funny as he was looking so damn swollen and appeared to
(12:47):
look stronger than what he actually really looks like.
Like it. It was just hilarious.
And then it was a tornado DDT off the turnbuckle onto the
apron, which Waller put that on Sheamus, and Sheamus landed so
fucking safely that it didn't even look like it hurt it.
(13:08):
I don't know. He landed on his side shoulder.
I get it. It was the safest way.
I'd rather him do that than to actually go for it.
If you can't get get it, you know?
But I don't know it it was just kind of weird for me.
So Shamus didn't want to hurt himself, so that's great.
But Shamus dominated this match and he was going for the bro
(13:32):
kick and then Rousseff came out and interrupted, but was
clothesline onto the apron and Waller went for a roll up pin,
got a 2 count and then went for a clothesline.
It was reversed into a broke kick from Sheamus and the three
count. And then Rusev came back in, put
(13:53):
Sheamus in the accolades and anduntil authority had to come out
to get him off of them. So they're really hyping this
Sheamus versus Rusev part three.You know of this series, 'cause
I'm sure they've faced before many years ago.
(14:14):
I, I, I hope this turns out to be a good man.
I know these guys can do it, butat some point, you know it, it
really looks like shame is I'm just happy to see Sheamus out
there, you know, it's like, you know that guy, I have to see him
still working, man. He's still working, man.
(14:35):
Look at him. Still got it.
Look at that boy, man, He used to do that back when I was God
damn 22. So that's what I get from
Sheamus. I don't know if it's just me.
I'm just proud to see him get onthe top rope and do a sloppy ass
clothesline, you know? But I'm expecting to see him to
(14:58):
slip off. So yeah.
Then we get Lyra Valkyria who comes out and speaks on Becky
Lynch as she showed up with her Becky Stumpers on, which was
some big ass goofy ass shoes shewas wearing.
You know, she was just yapping her mouth in the ring.
(15:20):
And thank God for Becky's music coming on as Becky was under the
ring or something, but she really got behind her quick
cause the music just was playingand Lyra was kind of waiting for
her. But she ended up being like
behind Lyra. And then she turned to the crowd
and be like, yeah, yeah, I ain'tknow I was going to be here.
(15:43):
And then Lyra just bounced off the ropes and kicked her ass
through the ropes, you know, andthen ticked the took the kendu
stick and beat the hell out of Becky's ass.
That's what happened. I mean just kept whipping her
ass with it. So that's the last final promo
(16:03):
until SummerSlam. This doesn't even sound or feel
like a serious match. These promos wasn't serious
enough. You know the can do stick shit.
It was very predictable. I mean, I got Becky winning
(16:30):
this, I got Becky winning this. And then possibly they do a
rematch for WrestleMania at somepoint, which I'm hoping I'm
wrong, but I really want to see Becky take on a couple other
(16:50):
people, you know, that they havenow.
You know, I would love Becky versus Naomi.
I would love that. I know they're both champions,
but I would love to see that. So maybe it'll be good if Lyra
wins. Hey, fuck it.
Chelsea Green and the Secret Service and the women's
(17:15):
champion, Naomi. Speaking of, Naomi went up
against EO, Skye Hi EO and Stephanie Vaquet.
Nikki Bella in rear Rippery, also known as Rear Rippery, Rear
Ripley is what I'm saying. Ladies and gentlemen, in a four
(17:36):
women's tag team match, Nikki still got some jiggle on her ass
too. I just want to let y'all know
that because I know y'all seen it if I've seen it, you know, I
think Nikki Bella, she got to beabout 70 years old, but she has
some jiggle in her ass. And I said look at that.
(17:57):
You go white girl. She she, you know, ain't nothing
wrong when you see a white girl with a jig in the ass.
She do. But this ended with Stephanie
Vakker bomb. The Stephanie Vakker bomb on
Chelsea for the win. And this was a cool match.
It was a cool match, but it didn't have enough.
(18:19):
What am I looking for? Memorable.
We didn't have enough memorable moments.
So yeah, after that we get Finn Balor and JD Madonna for the
Judgement Day versus LWO for thetag team titles.
(18:39):
If you can remember past Monday Night Raw LWO one inside that of
what was it four way tag team match, triple threat something
and they beat the new day and I believe Creed Brothers was
involved as well. Yeah, yeah.
(19:00):
So they end up getting a win. Yeah, it was Creed Brothers.
So they end up getting a win LWOand that's lead to tonight's
match versus judgement day for the tag team titles.
This match was good tag team action from both teams.
All right, it it was good tag team action there and I really
have to give them their props. This was a good tag team match.
(19:27):
It really was. Then El Grande Kaiser came out
and was chased out by Dragon Leeand then we get another El
Grande, which some people are wondering who could it be?
I've heard some people throw what you call name around.
(19:49):
What was his name? Butch.
His name Butch. I don't know what else they
called him, but yeah, it was Butch.
It will, it will he do? Got another name and I can't
fucking remember but some peoplesay it was him.
Some people think it's other people from another company.
(20:09):
I don't know who it is, but now it seems like we have two El
Grande Americanos, OK. And so once he came out, he
stopped Elwo from almost winningthe tag team titles.
I believe this was their shot toactually win and they were
(20:31):
stopped by this new El Grande but with a big stump from the
top ropes from Finn Balor got the three count for the
judgement day to retain the tag team titles.
That is one of those matches I would say y'all need to go back
(20:52):
and look at that was a good tag team match.
Just go back and look at it for shits and giggles.
You know, it's probably about a good 8-9 minute match.
So go back, check it out man. You know, I love tag team
matches that that give that goodteamwork and everyone got that
(21:13):
high energy and and action-packed type of you know,
blood flowing through. Good match, entertaining.
So yeah, we also get Gotha. Gunther comes out.
He talks one-on-one with TimothyPunk.
That's what he want. He wants Timothy Punk to come
(21:33):
out. The crowd kept cheering.
CEM Punk. CEM Punk as Gunther just stand
there saying he left the voice of the Voiceless speechless last
week, saying he will never be champion.
And so, shortly after that, CM Punk music hits.
(21:58):
It comes to personality. So yeah, that came on.
And you know, the crowd, they'rethey're going crazy.
They're going crazy. They stand in the ring together,
Punk said. He wasn't speechless, He was
(22:18):
dumbfounded. He said he, you know, it dawned
on him that he don't want to be champion.
Nah they don't want to be champion.
So what y'all think he's going to say?
B because he I mean how the fuckI skipped it?
BA because he already been champion, B because he needs to
(22:45):
be the world champion or C he just want to kick Gunther's ass
Boom boom boom boom boom boom. Alright, fuck it, it's B he went
for I needs to be world champion.
So if y'all pick dad, congratulation to yourselves.
(23:10):
Congratulations. I think that'll be a fun game to
do. We we, we do the promos and then
we kind of hey, fill in the blank.
Which one you think he said? Y'all think we should do that?
Give us some thumbs up or thumbsdown.
Let us know. Let us know in the comments if
you think so. That'll be something you would
be interested in seeing. Yeah.
So he was like, man, I've been dumb fan, I needs to be world
(23:32):
champion. CM Punk was working the crowd,
he was talking to the crowd, he was hyping the crowd up.
He was getting them into it. Gunther had enough and
interrupted CM Punk, but CM Punkput his hand over the mic and
was like, uh huh. He said I'm not done.
Basically CM Punk is going to show him why he's the best in
(23:57):
the world. And then he dropped the mic, I
guess, and he left Gunther speechless.
So who's going to win this matchhere?
Gunther versus CM Punk? CM Punk does have the crowd on
(24:25):
his side. I do believe people would like
to see him with the belt becausepeople don't think he'll ever
get it because of what he did tothe company and how he left the
company and things like that. But and and I'm mentioning the
(24:46):
backstage stuff because sometimes that play into what
what your character can be in inthe sports period, you know, So
I don't know. I don't know if they trust him
enough to have the world title, but I do know they believe that
he could push and get more than what Jay USO brought in and more
(25:13):
than what Gunther is bringing inas far as popularity, as far as
entertaining, as far as all the above the mic skills and all.
Gunther's not entertaining to me, but it's mic skills are it's
it's damn near up there. I love his style and his
(25:37):
wrestling abilities is great, but he's not entertainer.
I think CM Punk is all three. You know, his wrestling
abilities are good. I mean, he's getting a little
older too, so you know, but yeah, man, Gunther, I wouldn't
be surprised if Gunther keep it.I would like CM Punk to win it.
(25:59):
I think that'll be great for CM Punk to win this.
So I'm going to go with CM Punk.I'm going to go to CM Punk.
And that's why they had to get the bet off Jay USO.
Let's be real, let's be real, let's be real.
So we get the main event for thenight, Jay USO versus Bronson
(26:24):
Reed with Paul Heyman by him side.
Now, earlier in the show, we hada backstage promo where Brian
Breaker had a bright idea. He said I got a deal.
I got a idea. Yeah, I got a idea.
Yeah. And, well, I guess the idea
(26:45):
worked later on in this program.So when Jay USO walked down the
entrance, he looked like he was pissed.
He can't walk through the crowd anymore, you know, like he came
from the crowd at 1st and I think that would have been like,
I don't need all that shit. Just go to the ring now.
(27:05):
You know, we we ain't got that. We ain't getting too much camera
time. So he looked like he was pissed
off, like just walking down regular just wasn't wasn't good
enough. Match wasn't going anywhere.
But it led to the outside of thering where Braun Breaker came in
(27:25):
and speared Jay USO and the entrance.
So what I mean by the match wasn't going anywhere.
This match was just them just bumping, just falling and
tossing and jumping and flopping.
It wasn't really shit going on. It wasn't no storytelling.
It was almost play around until you get to this spot.
(27:48):
God damn it. Why does all that sound sexual?
Is that just me? I'm sorry, I'm I'm sorry.
So Brian breaker came in and speared God damn it, but that's
what he did. He speared him.
He speared Jay USO in the entrance way, then started
(28:08):
double teaming. Oh fuck, started double teaming
Jay. Then Roman music came on as as
Bron Brahms double team in jail.So Bron Roman Reigns music came
on. The crowd goes.
I mean they're just crazy over them.
They're like he, Roman graced uswith his presence.
(28:30):
And you know, Roman came in and Bron was looking like it was his
plan all along to get Roman out there because when he seen him,
he gave a little smuggling. Yeah, we got your slicked back
haired ass. We got you slicked back and
(28:56):
Roman came in, cleared the ring.He went to pick up Bronson Reed
and was stopped as Roman and Jaystood tall and Jay super kicked
Bron off of the the apron and Roman Superman punch Bronson off
of the apron. Then they set up for outside
(29:16):
double spear on Bron bronze, butthat was stopped by both Bron
and Bronson and set Jay USO witha super super spear inside the
ring like he just held them up and and let Bron bounce from
rope to rope and then let him goand bronze just the goddamn
(29:39):
spear and that put him out. And then Bronson Reese said we
ain't dying. So he climbed his chubby ass on
that damn ropes and he gave him a damn tsunami tsunami on J
fucking news. So y'all I wonder if he going to
(30:02):
bring out the tapes when when something slam happened.
I don't know, maybe. But so yeah, after all that
happened, then they took focus on Roman Reigns while Roman was
leaning on the announce taper, Brian Breaker, so genuinely and
just cool and relax. And he he stepped over the, you
(30:24):
know, in between the ropes and he stepped on the apron.
I'm thought he, I'm thinking he's about to slow walk, you
know, hop down off the apron, walk up to him and talking shit.
Probably, you know, smack him inthe face a couple of times or
something. Uh huh.
He stood on that apron and did the flying clothes line from the
apron to the fucking announce table.
(30:47):
Yes, the fuck he did. They put Roman back into the
ring and then we got a tsunami on Roman Reigns.
Now, as Roman Reigns, teeth justpoking out of his mouth and
Braun telling Roman that everyone works for him, he said
(31:08):
everyone works for me. You see the cameraman, he works
for me. You see these ropes?
These ropes are mine. This ring, this ring is mine.
That announced table, there's mine.
(31:29):
He just, oh man, he just was just talking shit.
Then they tossed Roman out of the ring and set up a double
spear. And I mean, this is Bronson Reed
and Brown Breaker running and Spearing J USO and Roman Reigns
(31:52):
through the barricade, both of them at the same damn time.
So we did get to see a double spear, then Bronson.
Now this is this gotta be some of the illest shit.
It it was some illness, but it was some weird shit too.
So Bronson Reed as Roman Reigns is just laid out.
(32:17):
Bronson Reed did some of the illest shit.
And I'm telling you right now, this is my OMG moment of the
night. And that is right.
So I, you know what, before we even finish this, I want to go
ahead and see, do we have that? Can I put that on 'cause I want
(32:38):
to do my OMG moment of the night?
Or should I wait to then I, I'lljust wait to then I'll keep it
traditional. I'll keep it traditional.
But that is my OMG moment of thenight right there.
He took Roman Reigns, OK? He took his joys.
He took Roman Reigns JS off his feet, bro.
(33:03):
He took his Jordans off his feet.
OK, I ain't never seen that in wrestling.
Well, motherfucker got Jack for his Jordans live in front of
everybody on Netflix in a wrestling event.
(33:27):
First time ever. I loved it.
I was like, that's some gangstershit.
I said maybe if you put that shit in the briefcase, that
would have been even more gangster shit.
Paul Heyman still got the briefcase.
Put the Jays in the briefcase. You want these Jays back?
Roman Reigns, you better beat usand and open up that briefcase
(33:48):
motherfucker, and take your Jaysback.
But leave Seth Rollins contract in there.
You just take them goddamn Jays and and and don't touch brown
Breakers sun tanning cream, you son of a bitch.
That's all they had to do. But right then and there, it got
(34:08):
weird. OK, it got weird then.
These are the Jordan spicyks. OK, Spicyks, the Spike Lee
joints, the Spicyks and he and he took them.
These are the lows that he just took them spiked the spizzite
(34:28):
lows. He took them now.
Now let me tell you where where he fell off.
It was gangster until he did this.
He kissed he I don't know if he it looked like he kissed the
Jordans. He yeah, I look, I don't know if
(34:50):
he really kissed him or just sniffed him or licked him or
either way, another man, Jay shouldn't be that goddamn close
to your motherfucking face. I mean, the way his cheeks and
eyes was looking, it looked likehe gave them up a nice kiss.
Like I love Jordan's. It looked weird, though.
(35:12):
I wouldn't do that anymore. But yes, that was hell of a
fucking ending right there. I was not expecting that at all.
So shout out to WWE for doing that.
This was a this was a OK Monday Night raw.
It wasn't the best, you know, itdidn't feel to everything that
(35:37):
they did for the past, you know,two weeks.
This one was probably the least entertaining, and I'm pretty
sure some of that could have something to do with the passion
of Hulk Hogan and, you know, stuff like that.
So yeah, man. So what I want to do now is get
(35:58):
to the one and only Oh my Gee, moment of the night.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome tothe Oh my Moments of the night.
(36:21):
This is Mac Network. That's right, you son of a
bitches. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
My moment of the night, Like I said earlier, like I said a few
damn minutes ago, my moment of the night is taking the Jays off
the feet. Taking the Jays off the feet,
(36:44):
that is my Oh my Gee moment of the night.
Some of y'all might be Roman Reigns appeared or something
like that. I don't think too much happened
today that made you know momentsof the day.
But since Kang isn't here to give his OMG the Oh my Gee
(37:05):
moment of the night, I am going to Simply put this in default
and hand this to his. Moment of the night was the past
Hulk Hogan the 10 bell salute solet's just go ahead and.
Let's call it like that. Let's call it like that.
I got the Jays on the feet by default.
(37:29):
Kane got the, you know, Hulk Hogan 10 bell salute.
So thank you so much, ladies andgentlemen.
That was the end of Monday NightRaw for June the 27th that had.
Happened there. So I do have something to talk
(37:52):
about. Like I said, we were going to
get into the Hulk Hogan. Not want to get into the Hulk
Hogan thing real quick. Now dealing with that.
Kevin Nash had some things. To say about Hulk Hogan, well
about people who've said stuff about Hulk Hogan, we're going to
get a little bit in that as wellso I'm.
(38:15):
Going to say the good. Stuff.
Hulk Hogan is the most noticeable wrestler of all time.
I'm. I'm going to say that.
And Ric Flair, the man I think is probably the second most
noticeable wrestler of all time,and he even says it's Hulk.
(38:41):
Hawk is number 1. He is.
There's no doubt in my mind if he is.
And he was the first big superstar specially for me when
it came. To superstar it was.
Hulk Hogan. And I'm that guy.
I don't like to pick or to pretend, you know, when you're
(39:02):
kids and you pretend to be wrestlers.
I didn't want to be the most popular 1, so I always had to
avoid Hulk Hogan I. Would be Macho Man I.
Would be ultimate warrior and and some of you can say, oh,
that was damn near equal. Not overall, not in this
lifetime. They were great, they were
wonderful. There are legends, there are
(39:23):
icons, there are wrestling gods,but not like that man was.
So I, I just want to be able to get all that out there.
And he's definitely on the MountRushmore.
He should be on everyone. 'S Mount Rushmore.
If we're talking about wrestlingnow, of course he did some
(39:46):
stuff. So he died from a cardiac
arrest. His Last Post, I believe it was
him about to lay on the beach. Had some American beer you.
Know on him and stuff. Like that and later on that day
I I believe it was that day he passed away.
(40:10):
It it it was. It was.
Surprising, you know, cuz a couple of weeks ago we even
mentioned that at one point theysaid he was in the hospital.
It's not looking good. And then a source would say Hulk
Hogan's just fine. He went in for neck surgery,
which for him to be out there and laying on the beach and you
(40:31):
know, doing this and that, he probably did think he was fine
or the doctors probably did think he was fine you.
Know and. I thought it was something to
get some attention, you know, last week, you know, why are you
keeping his name in the news andall that stuff if his sources
(40:52):
are saying he's fine and like I said last week or this past
week, he end up dying. And now the story.
'S coming out. Oh, he wasn't looking good,
which these were the stories that was coming out too.
So I think someone probably saidsomething about it.
(41:16):
And he didn't want. That to be.
That that's what I. Honestly think someone did see
him and go, oh man, yeah, you'renot, you're not looking good.
And someone talked to somebody probably got a little money for
it and he hurry up and send a source out there too defend that
and say no, he's good. He just had neck surgery, he's
(41:37):
recovering from that, you know, and here's a a coincidence.
Hulk Hogan was fired from the WWE on July 24th, 2015.
And that was the whole, you know, the.
Situation that occurred. After the tape featuring Hogan
(41:57):
making racist comments, including repeating the use of
the N word, it was leaked to themedia and the comments were made
during a private conversation recorded in 2007 as that surface
part of the lawsuit Hogan had filed against what was it,
(42:18):
Gawker Media, regarding the sex tape.
Now, that's when that part come in.
But from what I just said, he was fired from the WWE on July
24th, 2015. Exactly 10 years later, July
(42:40):
24th, 2025, he passed away. Then don't that give you.
Goose pimples, you damn sure do me.
So let's go ahead and knock all the shit out of the way and
let's get to the racist part andthe most memorable part.
(43:07):
In the words. Of Hulk Hogan saying the the the
word *** basically. OK when you see someone.
At all that shit I just said on how he's you know the immortal
Hulk Hogan, the biggest wrestling star of all time ever
(43:30):
he's on the Mount Rushmore and all that he told you eat your
vitamins and your prayers and goto sleep and wipe your ass.
He he he was teaching us how to do good shit you.
Know he had the cartoons. Out I went and go see that no
holds barred that that weak ass shit.
(43:50):
I tried looking at this shit as an adult.
I said what the fuck was I watching?
But as a kid I loved it. Why?
Because Hulk Hogan was in it. He was in it.
What was that ninjas movie? Where he had the the kids as
ninjas and he was like some big ass old ninja.
I don't know, it was just crazy.I watched Thunder in Paradise
(44:12):
because Hogan was in it. And.
For you to be this bigger than life guy.
And then to hear you. Speak on black people as the
word *** Or *** I don't. I don't know if you put the ER
(44:34):
at the end of it or not, but because he's white, I'm going to
say *** OK, that can tarnish a lot.
So. What, uh, Kevin Nash had to say
was Kevin Nash said he's dead. Think about his kids, think
(44:57):
about his friends and his family.
And if you don't have anything good to say, shut the fuck up.
That's what Big Sexy Kevin. Nash said.
That's what he said. Yeah.
And then I. Say shut the.
Fuck up. I don't know.
(45:22):
What I got to say is if it's nice, I, I, I would say it's
nice because I think it's educational and that's for some.
Of you out there who's? Gone.
He's dead. I don't.
You can't just. He's dead.
So what? He said and.
Like I've read some comments outthere who said you can't tell
(45:43):
black people how to feel about someone after they die after
you've been calling them *** allfucking time.
This guy you saying? *** to you're comfortable saying
*** to this guy is almost like you've said this before.
He's used to you saying that when you talk about black
people. So yes, it's different.
(46:06):
And what? Did I mention there were two
people who was attending RAW? That happened this past week and
they were not there for the Tin Bell salute.
And those two people were XavierWoods and Kofi Kingston.
Kofi Kingston. They they.
(46:27):
Didn't go there. Why?
I'll tell you why, in the great words of the immortal Hulk
Hogan, when his daughter was dating a black man, he said.
I mean, I'd rather she's going to fuck some *** I'd rather have
(46:53):
her marry a 8 foot tall *** worth $100 million brother like
a. Basketball.
Player dude. Then you know something else,
brother. I guess we're all a little
racist fucking *** that's what he said So.
(47:17):
He's talking about *** Who's? Less than 8 feet tall.
He's talking about all you *** who make less than 100 million.
Hello I. Ain't making no 100 million.
So he's talking to me so if I was dating his daughter he'll be
saying shit. Why you couldn't be one of them
(47:38):
8 foot *** Why you ain't making 100 million?
*** You know would. It have been different if you if
she was dating a white man who made 50,000 a year.
You know, But here's the tricky part.
(48:04):
You were in, you thought. You were in private
conversation. You didn't expect to be.
Recorded and let's be honest, when we're all in private
conversations, sometimes we. Tend to say some shit.
That we don't want everybody else to know about.
(48:27):
Let's be honest, you know how many people I call?
Retired. OK, I.
Use that word loosely. I'm trying to get better at it.
That's. Right, I'm trying to get fucking
better. At it, but that don't.
(48:52):
Mean I need you to. Record me and put it out there
and, and send it to, you know, the government.
Let it show up at. My job, you know, so that friend
of yours at the time wasn't really your friend.
(49:14):
If he's recording you. Saying race is shit and also had
your little sex tape of you fucking your son's
ex-girlfriend. I mean, let's be honest.
This we're we're watching this and I know some people.
(49:35):
Oh man, let's not talk about that.
You have to everything. He did.
That we've learned. We watched him on TV and now
when you watching him on TV and you're starting to see, you
know, his family. Hogan knows best, brother.
Oh, we getting into Hogan. We were the reason that show was
(49:56):
successful, because we was watching it because it's Hogan.
So now. You're getting to know his.
Family and all this shit, and then you see the family fucking
separate right in front of your eyes.
You see Brooke Hogan start. Dating this person, dating that
person, getting into the wrestling shit, Bubba Ray
(50:18):
kissing her and you're seeing all this shit.
You seeing a a Hulk? Hogan son Nick Hogan having shit
done with his best friend. Car accident.
Somebody died and all that, or almost died or driving drunk or
some shit. Now all this shit is reaching
(50:39):
the media. And they're tagging wrestling in
it. So you have no choice but to see
this shit. And then on top of.
That around this time we're talking to early 2000s, this
recording came out, well, it came out in 2000 and what 1415
but the recording? Happened in two. 1007.
(51:05):
So yeah, a lot of us were. Still in high school or fresh
out so. We're talking way back then.
When we are watching Hogan Knowsbest and shit.
And then? You turn around and you.
Have you know you like? I say you fucking you, your
(51:26):
son's ex-girlfriend. And so we get to watch our
superhero fuck. That's what we did.
We already. Watched Xavier.
Woods and what's the other girl name?
What's what's, what's the? I don't know her fucking name, I
forgot her name, but we watched their little porn.
(51:51):
And now we got fucking. Hulk Hogan porn.
And then we got to hear. Him talk about *** this, ***
that. So yes, I you can't.
Help it, I'm sorry. Kevin Nash, I agree.
With you, if you have nothing nice to show you shut the fuck
(52:12):
up. But at the same time you got to.
Look at your hero and. Then listen to your hero say
something that that you know, insults you.
And and everyone that you've. Grown to love and grew up with
and call family and call friends.
(52:36):
But it's that privacy. You have to protect which means.
You have to know who. You have in your circle if he
knew. What he had in his.
Circle and his Circle knew to keep shit quiet the.
Hulk Hogan that we've. Lost this week I think would
(52:59):
have had the correct send off that we all wanted.
'Cause he, you know he. Would have been praised.
He still would. Have been looked at as.
A God because that's all he done.
But seeing the bad parts. And all that stuff we understand
(53:21):
he was just a human being, but some of.
The stuff that he. Did I can't get mad at somebody
for not paying their respects inthe traditional way or.
Paying their respects at all. That's like if your.
Slave Master. Died and you pay your respects.
(53:41):
That's how some people. Are looking at it.
You. Think we all *** and.
You want me to go over there andsay rest in peace, Hulk Hogan?
But some of us like. Myself know how to separate.
Business. From personal personal issues,
(54:04):
business wise, Hulk Hogan deserves to be.
Noticed. And acknowledged as a wrestling
God. Also, Chris Benoit needs to be
noticed, respected as a wrestling technician.
(54:29):
A technical wrestling God. 'Cause if we're talking about
the Kurt Angles and the Bret Hart's.
You better put. Motherfucking Chris Benoit up
there. I don't want you none of that.
Shit, y'all talking about Chris Benoit?
Better be up there. Accept it.
(54:52):
I ain't never. Hear Chris Benoit call me.
And my family *** OK, so. That that's all I want to say on
that part, man. Rest in peace, Hulk Hogan.
Ah, man. We lost you, man.
(55:17):

episode 29 of Monday night wrestling podcast.
