own Evolution recap. Yes, I'm so.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Excited that you had me on for this because that
was the entire The entire card was flawless. It was
so so good. It was probably one of my top
So most of you guys listening should already know that
I just started getting into wrestling about Oh, it'll be

(00:57):
a year in November or December, so it's only been
about nine months or so. And out of everything that
I've seen, all the main events, WrestleMania, things like that, like,
this was top tier for me. Yeah, this was awesome,
and you what do you think about it? I thought
it was pretty good, pretty good?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Alright, So what what were you excited about Evolution? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
I was kind of excited knowing that there was all
females and no males.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, So before we get into the card and into
the matches, what who is your favorite female wrestler? Oh, God,
probably Ria Ria Rea. She is really good.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, she is really good.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
She is this Yes, that's right. This is the the
the match, the match. We'll get to that in a
little bit. So do you want to kick it off?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Then? How about you kick it off me to kick
it off? Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
So for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat match,
do you want me to announce it like an announcer?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Taylor? No? No, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
So we had Becky Lynch versus Bailey versus Lyra Valkyria.
M H. I rooted so hard for Bailey. I wanted
all of us wanted Bailey technically, I yes, that's true.
MEH and Dad wanted Bailey. I wanted Bailey so badly. Okay, well,

(02:44):
go ahead and just spoil it jumping the gun.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
That wasn't me, that was you. Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean we do kind of sound similar, But that
was a pretty good match. It was I like the
back and forth that they they each gave each other attention,
and they each gave each other, you know, a run
for their money. Towards the end, though, I really thought
by Bailey had it. Bailey, Bailey hired it. Bailey, Bailey

(03:16):
hyaded Bailey, And then so what do you What do
you think about Becky right now?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
As a heel?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
She's okay? I guess I like Becky as a baby
face best.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I do want her to win at Summer Slim. You
say you said come on Becky on raw?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh I did, Yeah, because Bailey's not in that match. Now,
if Bailey was in that match, Becky would be my
second choice.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I don't like Lyra hot take.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Is it because she No, it's because she sucks at promos.
You used to say that she was your girl.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, she wasn't.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
She wasn't.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I love her ganetic? You do love her costume? Can
I finish?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
She?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Her costumes were awesome. She was doing really good at
the beginning when she first came in, and I was
all about her, But now she's turned into a whiny
brat me me, me, I don't like her? What about you? Well?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
As if Bailey said, you mean she is a yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Mm hmm mm hm. Of course Bailey is my favorite.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I love Bailey.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
She's totally my girl. Me and Bailey would be best friends.
But if you changed I will never change it. Me
and Bailey ride or die?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
What about Lida.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh if Lida comes back? Oh no, sorry, Bailey your
second favorite.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now you can have two of them. Oh yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
But if I had to choose, want to be Lida.
I love Lida.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
She is a monster. She is a demon, she really is.
Do you mean it? Yeah, that's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
That is a very good thing. So uh, winner, of
course of that was Becky Lynch because pinfall pen fall
to retain the title.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Becky Lynch barely hit the roles plant she.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Did, she hit it very well and completely lost it.
NXT Women's Championship.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Jane versus Jordan Grace. I wanted.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
George to win, yeah, but I don't follow NXT, so
I didn't know who either one was. Close to the match,
some girl named Blake. She had a heel turn Jordan
with the belt m yep, And that was supposed to
be her tag team partner, you know how like Chelsea
Green has Piper and that other girl, yeah, the secret servist.

(05:52):
That's who Blake Monroe was supposed to be to Jordan Grace.
But then she turned on her. Dun dun, dun.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yep again that one I really wasn't a fan of.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
But Jordan Gris is fun to watch.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, she really is, not not giving anybody discredit for
any of that. But I I just I don't watch
nxt I don't know hardly anybody n xt SO, but I.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Do see this guy on Instagram that watches nxt H.
There was like supposed to be like a triple thift
for the TNA Championship. Trip Williams versus Joe Hendry versus
somebody TNA or NXT TNA, not at TNA, but the
TNA Championship.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Oh, I have no idea what that is.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's the one that Joe Hendry used to have.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh yeah, that's right. He dropped it to uh.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Trip Williams. Next match was the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Fatal Floorway. That one cooked.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
That one was really good.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I wanted Charlotte in election win or Charlotte Flair, Alexa
Bliss versus Oscar and Karis Saying.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Versus Solruken Zaria Judgment Day and say the Judgment Day.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
So I really liked the fact that when Charlotte came out,
everybody was booing her, and then towards the end of
the match when they were almost almost wanted, they were
all screaming.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, and it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm hoping Charlotte gets a face turn. I hope she
gets a face turned. Well yeah, but then, well, I
don't think she was a face at Royal Rumble. I
think they made her come back as a heel to
see how she would do.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I do like Charlotte fol.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Though Charlotte Flair is a decent heel, but I mean
she's a well I take that back, she's a great
heel because she makes you hate her, and that's literally
what a heel is supposed to do. Yeah, but her
being you know, having that moment to where the crowd
now loves her, that was great. And of course everybody

(08:06):
loves Alexa Bliss anyway. I love Alexa Bliss.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Even Dad loves her.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well, Dad absolutely loves Alexa. I don't like Osca and
we already know why. Why again, really I forgot It's
because she. I feel like she cheats, like she knows
what they're gonna hit her with and she dodges it.
She doesn't play by the rules. She dies, No, she doesn't, No,

(08:34):
she doesn't.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Guess what what. She also had the world's fastest record
of winning a match. Oh okay, that's cool. I'm pretty
sure like seven seconds.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Oh shit, okay, oh poop.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Brock Lesniar even won in like eight seconds. But we're
not here to talk about that.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, we are not.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
We're talking about women.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
So I mean the women's tag team Fatal four way
was that. It was a really good match. It was
bravo to the winners, Raquel and Roxanne for retaining I
really got a dog fight, Lucy. Nope, I'm pretty sure

(09:13):
that was Brianne. Could have been yeah, or Randy has
a big four Hey yeah, really stinky one that walked
up the stairs and came up here. It doesn't make
but that was like they worked so well together, and honestly,
I feel that Raquel and Roxanne are gonna work even
better together then Live and Raquel would so that when

(09:38):
Live comes back, it's gonna she's gonna be like, Raquel,
listen to me, and Raquel's gonna be like, no, you
treat me like garbage. Me and Roxanne are best friends now,
Like I think when Live comes back, they're setting it
up for something. They're gonna set it up. If Raquel
was happy, well yeah, that's because she got to keep

(10:00):
the title, and Roxanne did a great job at helping
her retain that title.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
All right, next match, go ahead. This is a WWE
Women's Championship match, Tiffany Stretton versus Trish Strettis.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh man, I wanted Trish to win that one so
bad I did. Is it is a retirement match? No, No,
she's coming back.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
The last time she had Russell was like eliminate.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Eighteen years ago.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, I mean elimination chamber.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, but when she had a singles match was I
think I think they said eighteen years ago. I don't know,
I don't remember. But Trish, for I think they said
she's fifty one, fifty one or fifty two. I think
she's I think they said fifty one. But for her
being fifty one years old and putting the heat on Tiffany,

(10:50):
good lord, she did such.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Trish Strettis is actually forty nine.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Oh okay, well I was close, Yeah, I was close.
But still Tiffany, Tiffy is twenty three or twenty four,
I think, and Trisha a forty nine year old. She's
old enough to be her mother. Tris Shuttis is old
to be who's mother Tiffy's. Oh, yes, she's old enough

(11:17):
to be Tiffany's mother. So if you take forty nine
and subtract, let's I think Tiffany is I want to say,
twenty three, maybe twenty six, maybe twenty five. Tiffany she's
twenty six, twenty six, Okay, so twenty six, twenty six
years is a champion? Well, yeah, so forty nine she

(11:38):
was the next twenty six. Nineteen ninety nine. Oh, Jesus pete,
I was Jesus pete.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yep, I was a NXC women's champion.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah that was cool.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I was thirteen and nineteen ninety nine. But anyway, Trish
would have been twenty three years old if she had Tiffany.
Uh so, yeah, she's twenty three years older and she
still rocked it. Good lord. Trish put on a heck
of a match. Trish carried her weight, she she kept

(12:15):
sipping on her toes.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm not a I'm not a big Tiffany fan. But
Tiffany did a good job.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
She did a good job.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
But of course she's going against the geriatric.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
She's going so next up? Can you hold on? I'm
holding on.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's why I was quiet, you weren't quiet.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
That came through.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
But anyways, so the no holds barred match Naomi versus
Jade with the special referee the.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Ancle bellam okay against a love I wish it was
on this, I wish we had it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
So it was a good match.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It was a good match.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
It was a good match. I did like it wasn't
as good as I was expecting, like I was really
hoping for, like.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I wish.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I know. It's like the girls are scared of color
except Live Morgan. Live Morgan is literally the only female
wrestler that I can think of right now in this
moment that will take color.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
But Jade and Naomi put on a great show.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
They so I like it.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I liked it when Naomi just kept trying to pin Jade.
Naomi was like pin, bounce out, pin, kick out, bounce out,
get it, get it, get it, get it, get it,
get it. And Naomi was just trying so hard to
get Jade. And in the end, of course, Jade won.
So that means Jade is going up.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Against Tiffany Stratton at SummerSlam absolutely because she won the
Queen of the Ring.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, and then oh my gosh, the Women's Battle Royale
was really awesome. I loved it. It was so good.
My favorite and I can't remember her name, but it was, uh,
the no the girl who the lash legend. Yes, yes,

(14:15):
the girl who's bigger than Naya Jacks when she deadlifted
Naya and just threw her over the top rope.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Oh she didn't throw it because she had help.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well yeah, but still she deadlifted Naya. She Naya's almost
three hundred pound butt. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Was Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I just got a bluemen
it made and it has Bianca bell Aer.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
We just finished talking about her.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I'm on my own against a one. Yeah, Sally didn't
have j though.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
But that's okay. They didn't have Ja. That's what we're
looking for, ladies and germs. If finally, if if you
guys know of the Minute May Drinks with Jay usso
on it. Let us know if you're in the Louisville,
Kentucky area if not, and you can buy it and
send it to us. We will pay for the drink
and shipping because we're trying to complete the collection. H Nope, nope,

(15:13):
can't do that, dang it so I really like everybody
in the Women's Battle Royal was fantastic, Like, they all
put up a good fight, they put up a good show,
they did a great job. But then how many times
did Stephanie Bakier hit the Devil's Kiss? Was it three?

(15:37):
She did it to Lashly or lash Legend?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I don't know. I'm gonna just say like thirteen or something.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Thirteen times. I don't know, I'm gonna go three. But
I'm glad that Piper Kniven got knocked out.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm so happy.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I don't like Piper.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
How is it?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Does it taste good?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's real good.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's a really good So are you happy that Stephanie
v the Kier won?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Is she your up and coming favorite? Yes? Is she
second to uh Ria Ripley?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, she's good. She's fun, she's fun to watch. She
really is. All right, So.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
It is time for the main event. Do you want
to announce it?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah? No, I'm not being no announcer. You don't have to.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
You can just say it.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Uh It was the women. It was for the Women's
World Championship, Women's World Championship. It was Eo Sky versus
Ria Bloody Ripley.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh, man, that one, that one, that one, that one.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Has to be one of my favorite women's matches of
all time. That is my favorite match of all time match.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
It was so good. It was anticipation worthy, like it
kept you on the edge of your seat every time
there was a pin. It was almost at three and
somebody would kick out. They went into the crowd. Yeah,
and then EO climbed up on that big, huge box
and then jumped off and RHA caught her.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
She liked Michael Jordan. She believes she can fly.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
She believed she could fly. She couldn't but touched They no,
she could touch the sky. Oh Scott, yep, Oh skuy yep.
I love it. Good job, Bud. But I that match,
that match, the entire night. That was my favorite match

(17:50):
any match that I have watched, like singles matched though
that that singles match was prove and but towards the end,
well right at the end, when you thought that everybody
was done toasted, I mean, heck, they were wrestling for
thirty minutes. They were going at it and beating the
crap out of each other for thirty minutes, and all

(18:13):
of a sudden, you hear caution in jumps in Naomi
cashing in the money in the bank.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I e't hate that, you didn't like that.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I thought it was the perfect opportunity for her to
cash it in. Perfect opportunity was Rheya was down, Eo
was down. There was no way one of them was
gonna get up and try and fight. Naomi was still
jacked up, so not. She just had her match with
Jade before the Battle Royale, so she had time to

(18:53):
drink a Gatorade, drink a Prime, a power Aid whatever
Jade or I mean Naomi, and get her bearings back.
Of course, her nose got busted when Jade punched her
in the face.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
I didn Naomi's heelton have to be like a caution person.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's that's her gimmick. That's what she was doing. Ugly,
I know, but it's great. Naomi is a pretty good
heel to me. She does really well.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
She's okay over the top. She's an okay hel for me.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
But it makes you not like her, right, yes, then
that's a good heel. Remember we had this episode a
while back, our favorite heels, And that makes a good heel.
If you don't like them, and you don't, you really
don't like them.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
If I'm not done with it. You got two words
from me, I.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Do proceed with caution. That's three proceed caution Lee. I'll
thought you're gonna no preceed cautionly so. Now, so, when
Naomi ran in cashed in money in the bank while
EO Sky and Rhea Ripley were laying in the ring
literally dying, they were exhausted, and who did she pin

(20:07):
to win? EO Sky? She took the belt from EO Sky.
Did you notice on the next night on Raw the
bruises that Rhea and EO had and Naomi's nose during
the press conference after the show just kept bleeding and
bleeding and bleeding and bleeding. Jade did that to her? Yep.

(20:32):
But what happens when you win the belt and there's
a target on your back.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
That means, oh.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Snap, maybe Jade ain't going after Tiffy.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Dun dun dun.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Holy holy yeah, think about it. Think about it. What
if Jade says, forget about you, Tiffy, I'm going after
Naomi for that belt. We'll have to stew on it.
You want to kind of you want to stew on
it and think about it. That doesn't mean that Naomi's coming, Well,

(21:15):
she could go to raw. There hasn't been a draft.
There hasn't been a draft yet.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
What do you think do you want to?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I said, there hasn't been a draft yet.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Has been a draft?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
A draft? You know where they draft smack down and Raw? Yeah, wrestlers.
There hasn't been a draft. So it's kind of like
fair game, free game. Anybody can go wherever they want to.
Who's to say that Jade Cargill won't take that crown
and kick Naomi's butt again?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Excuse you? Excuse him? What?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
So what do you think about that?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
M What do you think about that? Now? You know
how I feel?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah? Alright, So any who evolution on a scale of one,
two ten, what.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Do you give it one?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Nope, you go first on a scale of one to ten,
one being the crappiest.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Nine.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Okay, it was pretty good, pretty good until he just
gave it a nine. Oh, because Naomi made you drop
the point five? Gotcha? I I would give it. I
would give it a nine point eight. It should have
been night two.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Give it a nine point five.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
You did give it a nine to five? I said nine, No,
you said nine five?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Nine?

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Okay, Well, anyway, it should have been Night Too at
WrestleMania since Night Too at WrestleMania was trash Yeah, that
would have been amazing for Night to at WrestleMania. So, uh,
what are your predictions on on the next coming up?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Summer Slam predictions? Yeah, Summer Slam? Or do you want
to wait and do another episode before Summer Slam hits?
We can do that next weekend.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Do let's do after, let's do Summer simm let's do
our summers?

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Going to do a recap instead of a what.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
If we do both predictions and recap? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
What if we did predict predictions next week and then
we'll can record for Summer Slam? Uh recap?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
