Happy New Year to all our listeners and any new listeners. Welcome to the Urban Russi Network. Please don't forget to subscribe and follow.
We're everywhere. We're also included in all those streaming services including I High Radio and Spotify and everything else.
But happy New Year's. Happy Freaking Day which is my shit. I love Freaking Day man. This is my favorite day of the holiday of the whole year.
(02:19):
It's the only one that I like too. So yes I enjoyed this one but I'm good. Hope you're good.
Yo man. Wrestling is good. We're doing good.
Well and we're gonna start off just like this man. We're gonna start off with.
Smackdown switched to the three hours on last Friday. So now Smackdown totally is now three hours long for the foreseeable future to a move from USA to wherever it's gonna go which I think is gonna be Netflix in the future.
(02:50):
So they went to three hours. They're gonna focus more on the tag teams and lesser known youth talent a lot of the mid-carners.
But if you saw the presentation and also it was the first show on Netflix also that they have.
I like I like I just like right now. I just like to look at Jeff. I've already learned a new year.
(03:14):
No, no. Tonight was gonna be the first show on Netflix.
Well I jumped the gun. I like I like but the presentation was good. If you noticed, I don't know if you watched it but inside the ring now they are matching the color scheme with Smackdown which we know is blue.
So now the inside of the ring the canvas is blue.
(03:38):
And it looked beautiful. It looked real beautiful with the white with the white ropes, the white and the beautiful baby blue or whatever blue they're using now inside the ring.
I mean nothing special happened except for Miss Tiffy Tying, Tiffany's trying, finally catching her money in the bank briefcase, turned on Nia Jax after her match, defeated her with the best moonsault or the prettiest moonsault ever.
(04:11):
And now she's the new women's champion there.
They already have Chelsea Green as being the United States champion for females. So we're saying before is that now they're actually going to go out and put more emphasis on the tag team division and the lesser known competitors that have been kind of in the background that you haven't seen in a while like a player,
(04:35):
Devin Port, your own Holy Union which is the Australian chicks I think from Australia or are they British? The Australian?
Your girl, Renee Leo.
Okay, okay, so there more of those females are going to get more shine now since now they're moving to a three hour show. So that's amazing as they're doing something like that. So now you have that mid card, you know, women's US title, that Chelsea Green won.
(05:13):
Now they were supposed to do the same thing with the IC title for women's that was supposed to be already done, but they pushed that forward now with the finals being Laura Balkary against the little girl from Damage Control, the Kai, the Koda, is it the Kai?
(05:38):
The Koda Kai, yes, that's all, yes, the Koda Kai. So that's the finals. It was supposed to happen last week and then they're going to do it this Monday, but segue to tonight.
Tonight is the grand opening or grand show of Netflix where now raw will be in Netflix now. So that's the big tonight. So they move that match to next week now. Because tonight is supposed to be the packed show.
(06:09):
So you can see a lot of people that we haven't seen in a long time. Maybe John Cena, you know, because now it is his retirement tour. So he might be there tonight. For sure the rock will definitely make it make it, you know, make it a show tonight.
Tonight is the match for the Ufa Lafa or I'm sorry, the Lafa Uwa. The travel chief between the Roman rings and solo, so that's the match tonight. That's going to be the main match for that and the ownership of the Blond Line.
(06:46):
So you know 100% certain that the rock will be there for that. So we know that already.
Yeah.
(07:21):
And it should be interesting when that numbers come out tomorrow or Wednesday and they say this, how do you join in or you know the traffic. I'm pretty sure it's going to be, you know, 10 to 15 million viewers just to see what the big deal is about, you know, raw on Netflix.
And it's going to be a different presentation because you know this is Netflix. If you have that good package is going to be on 4k, you know, HDR 10. So that's going to look good on TV.
(07:53):
If you have that TV setup, you know, it's going to be amazing tonight and also your boy Penta said on me or whatever you want to call them is supposed to make his great entrance. I tagged with a very mysterious come up against the news.
And I think because very much did you have mentioned, he was bringing somebody with him for the tag team match. So we already know that that's going to be said on the other, the big news have been coming up with a zero and stuff like that.
(08:26):
So we already know that that's tonight. So if you got Netflix like I do, I don't know if you do but I'll be there watching the show tonight.
And we'll see what happens, you know, but any any any points that you want to do, right, chef about, you know, Netflix moving on to Netflix tonight.
(08:51):
What do you want? Well, you will you be what? Well, the question is, will you be watching tonight?
Why?
Why?
(09:36):
Yes.
No.
(10:26):
Yeah, we got to see if they're going to allow him to do the whole moves that he's always had to which corner.
(10:48):
Are they going to, you know, slow them down or are they just going to say go ahead. But please don't kill anybody. You know, especially, you know, going up against a new day.
We already know that a lot of high bridge maneuvers and a lot of, you know, tumbling and bumbling. And you saw the video that I sent you from a triple A where he was saying goodbye to triple A, especially the president, you know, the wife of the late president there at triple A.
(11:19):
So he told her, you know, this is not goodbye. This is just a little break that I'm taking to go up there. But whatever you mean, when you call me, I'm coming back.
So we'll see how long he stays there whenever Phoenix gets, you know, released from a W and they're able to tag there with the neutral brothers there in WRE.
(11:41):
That's going to be crazy if and when that happens. So with that said, you know, we're going to segue to AEW.
AEW has got their first two shows out of the way. They did the dynamite, the collision on Saturday. And I want to say they were the first wrestling company to have a simulcast because it was on TNT TVS and also on HBO Max or Max, whatever it's called now.
(12:10):
And I'll tell you something, man, the presentation when you see it on Max where it's just like Netflix with that HDR10 and that 4K bro.
It looked amazing. Now the wrestling is all the storylines are just way out there for my taste.
But the presentation when you look at it as something like that, I still haven't seen numbers because I haven't seen anything about, you know, how the numbers were on HBO Max where the subscribers and stuff like that.
(12:44):
But it's once again something that Ponycon can take into consideration and say, I beat Dudley to the punch. We were the first wrestling on a major streaming service.
You know, we went out, get the same viewership, but we beat them again with something like this.
(13:08):
You know, so my question to you is then chef, Dudley on Netflix, AEW on Max.
Do you think this might be 2025? Do you think this might be the last year or maybe next year where we start seeing wrestling go into streaming services away from the cable that we've all been watching all our lives?
(13:37):
Do you think this might be the year where wrestling dies on regular TV?
(14:07):
Thank you.
(14:38):
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, not that everybody knows because I still have not seen Korakai and I still have not seen Treasure Things.
So, no, sir.
I don't know, just never caught my attention.
I still have not caught my attention.
(15:03):
Yes, that I loved.
And it's me from the last episode when he killed the kid.
I'll let about that.
I'll let about that, bro.
That shit broke my heart.
I was like, wow, no way.
But it makes sense as to why he is a penguin.
(15:27):
And when it makes sense as to why he did it.
You know, they take your family, they put your week and that's when you drop a ball when you care for other people and that type of line of business.
You know, when his mom went die or not die or when Kamatoza or whatever she is now, you know, they took the last piece of heart that he had.
(15:53):
And he knew that if they took the kid, you know, I'm sorry, I forgot the kid's name.
Victor.
If they take Victor and they use it against him, that's going to hurt him too.
So he took him out himself.
You said, well, you know, before they get you, I'll do myself.
You are the last piece of my heart.
(16:14):
And I was mad, bro.
I was mad, sad.
I was like, dang, man.
Yeah, well, he killed him, man.
He broke his neck.
Who?
Oh, really? Well, there was something happening because he killed him there.
(16:39):
Oh, well, he's dead.
Unless they take him, unless, unless they take him back to a little, what's the guy's name?
Rua Gules, the water that brings the people back from the dead.
And he's the only way he comes back. But anyway, yeah.
(17:00):
Yeah, sorry about that.
You were saying about the, yeah, we asked you the question about if you think wrestling will last outside of, you know, inside of, or outside of the streaming and still in the cable world.
(17:30):
Yes.
Well, what about companies that we like? Well, not, not, well, a little bit of TNA. And what about MLW, NWA, who still cannot find a, you know, subscriber or whatever.
(17:51):
What about those type of companies?
Well, there's some other things because I want to, I want to hear you out.
(18:26):
Yeah.
What's your boy? What's your boy?
(19:04):
Yes.
Well, my weekly shows, because they, they, they take two weeks ahead.
(19:32):

(19:57):
