Speaker 1 (00:00):
This production is brought to you by the Recess Bell.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm better than you and you know it. I believe
in Joe Hen and Dread. Yeah, you got nothing. You
get what you have earned, and what you have earned
is nothing. You got the cool music, you got, the lights,
(00:36):
you got the fog machine, you got the girl.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You know what they do to make out them told
feels special. They bring the freaking bell.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And welcome to another edition of When the Bell Rings,
hosted by your boys, Corey David.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
In Corn Goodwin.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
How's everything going with you, Coy, I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Doing pretty good, recovering from Sunday Night a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Uh, we're gonna we're gonna jump into that a little
bit soon. Just to give everybody context, me and Korn
was at TNA's Slammiversary at the Ubs Arena.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It was an amazing time. I literally have barely have
a voice right now because of the fact that he's
just screaming and yelling for everything.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I mean, we will, we will have discussions about that show,
in particular some of the events that went down. Let's
get in, let's get into some of the recap over
the weekend and just everything like that. With SmackDown, it
it SmackDown. It was an odd show because I'm not
(01:39):
gonna lie to me.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
This is just to me.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Without the tag division, the men's tag division, that show
is dull shit.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm honestly, I'm my opinion. I feel like SmackDown right
now is in a different direction because of the fact
that I don't know they wanted if they want to
push the Wied six storyline, they wanted to see where
this goes to the tacking division. I feel like this
is going to push to the fact that the White
Six might break up the street profits. This is what
might lead to and.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's like, cool, could you move the mic up to
you a little bit, my fault, stop picking you up?
As much as I would think.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
All right, yeah, I think this might lead to the
street profits who are breaking up. And I think the
White Six, because you gott really think about the White Six,
the Gray White he changed people, He changes you, The
Wit six changed you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
They well, I don't need them breaking up per se.
If they were to go in there on separate ways,
I could see something like that, but I don't need
them breaking up. I needed to be a situation where
it's like, yo, we're still cool, but I just want
to go out the single scull if that's what they're doing.
But if that's not what they're doing, I can still
see this freak. There's still value in the street profits
and the tech divisions.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I in my opinion, Flix Mac Them to Seek was
a funny, a funny weekest. I feel like the Riders
went really on the funnier side with the way they
opened up the show with Solo. Solo, as as the
serious as he is, he is a comedy character.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He's not serious if if you really look at it,
Solo is just it's just Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
He's Hill. He's Hill version of Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And I'm surprised people haven't noticed that already. Nothing about
I mean early on, even when you think about it
like this when they try to switch his character. When
you think about him in n XT, A lot of
his things he was like the street like the street
fighter guy whatever, whatever. But a lot of that relied
on him being like quick, witted, like funny. It's like
street smarter, street like street like witty. It's like, you know,
(03:35):
he always had a comeback for everybody. So it doesn't
surprise me now that he's on the main Rosster and
he let him get the file. The expressed more of
his character and let him express his expresses, his funny
side that he's killing it. Because that bit with him
and Cody Rose was funny as hell.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I found it hilarious. Cody, Cody saved me, Cody, Cody.
I'm like, ain't no way, Cody, out of all people
solo you begging for you to save you right now,
he ain't gonna save you. I found Andrade and Ray
Phoenix winning the number one Contendentship match really interesting to me.
That was a curveball.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That was that was That was the curveball for you.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, I felt like, you know that everything that happened
that night on SmackDown Down was a curveball. Everything else
was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I mean, Andrada is one of the best wrestlers on
their Rosster. If you ever give him a chance, he should.
To me, he should be fighting for the United States
side ride thing.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I don't think he should be attack teams in the
tag teams scene right now. Now. It shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
But you finding you're finding out something to do, and
I and I figure that you can't do put Pinta
with his brother yet because you obviously see the success
of Pinta as a single star. My thing with how
every how this show is shaping up. If you really
wanted to progress a SmackDown the way you see a
ross progressing, follow what they're doing right now. I mean, okay,
(04:57):
so what you would have to do is build up
that women's because you clearly see that the women's division
is carrying Raw right now, right right, That's true, and
so my model would be put the best rustlers on,
put the best product on. So I would do something
similar to like bringing up uh Lolavice, Jada Parker, soul
(05:20):
Ruka last legend. I would bring up some of these
hungry women. Now you could bring up Jordan Grace, but
I'll not show if y'all want to do that yet.
But yeah, bring up some of these hungry women and
just make it. Just make this division exciting, like how
you see Raw's division is, and so it gives Tom
so you can see it. Julia actually defending her title
(05:41):
because why the hell is she in like the background,
not even in a back stage segment. She's in the
background of a background and she's just talking to Keana James.
I'm like, okay, now you gotta figure out what the
fuck does that mean. I'm like, no, like, actually have
your champion out there, go defend it. It's the same
problem I had with EO when she didn't have the title.
(06:02):
When she had the title, she's the champ, but she's
not wrestling on TV.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And honestly, I don't like this new era where I
feel like ever since COVID that yeah, COVID, and ever
since the Brocles and the championship run, the first one
where he went on a high ends, it's where you
don't get to see the champion defend on the random,
on the night Raw and no more. You don't get
to see a champion be there every night. You don't
get to see a champion be out there writing. You
don't get a night of Champions for all the champions.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I don't think you had anything to do with I
don't think you had anything to do with.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
COVID ay thing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I think probably probably a couple of different separate situations,
but you had the incident where Ria got injured and
that kind of hampered the division, when Cody got injured,
When Cody towards Peck when he was supposed to be
on that guy like maybe what they'll do is when
somebody's a champ and they invested in them, they'll put
them in bubble rap. Basically like as you can see,
(06:55):
when EO was the champ, she didn't get any matches.
Eos not the chip. She's she's on roll consistently. So
I'm just saying, like that's something that i would love
to see on the SmackDown side.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Build the women, build a women's division up.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Then you give a Montest and a Montes and Rode
Alistair Alistair bat Black, and I know you have you
have to have solo. You have to have solo Carmelo, Hayes, Jimmy, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And l A. Knight and those guys. You let that
build out the mid card.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Uh you used to have Cody at the top, and
then like you try to build that top, try to
build the top of that division up. So like you
see how I'm kind of working it in Like it's like, yeah, okay,
you get two to two. I'll say, because you got two,
you got two hours, you get two two to three
women's matches, right, you get uh two promos, two promos
(07:55):
either Cody or somebody else get think a little two promos,
you get the little backstage segment here, and if you
can't fit it in, make it a digital exclusive, and
then you'll have one tag match, probably one mid card match,
and if you can get a championship match every so
often in it, you can't try to make it like
a four or five match card like every other night.
(08:17):
And please don't do that troupe up. I'm gonna get
into this latter, but there's a trope that WW does
a lot that I hate.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Honestly, I agree with that one right there. And to furthermore,
what you were saying to that degree, WW is not
as they're strong on one suit and it's like they're
like a teetertotter. It's like they're leaning on one side
and they're not leading on the other side, where it
can be a balance. You're not leaning. You're leaning on
the raw side, where you're catering to certain storylines, certain wrestlers.
(08:45):
When SmackDown still has you have one of your best
baby faces on SmackDown, you have all these different assets
on SmackDown, and then your woman's division on SmackDown suffers
in so many different ways where it's to a point
where Charlotte now was in the attacking division, and honestly,
I'm okay with that and I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, I think that was the smartest move they could do.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I do want to get into that because Alexa
blis Alexa Bliss and Charlotte, you know, tag teaming and
doing that thing on Fridays.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's been, it's been, it's been.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Inact, they're weird dynamic of oh, we're not friends, it's not,
but they're slowly growing on each other.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is Jericho and Edge.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah kinda. And I couldn't I just take one time
to shout out. I got not a shoutout. But Tiffany
Stratton has done something that nobody has ever done, probably
end to be history. Oh god, she has become so dislikable.
Oh my god, she has become so dislikable that people
(09:47):
are now cheering for Charlotte because you remember she couldn't
get Remember when she first came back from the from
her from her knee injury. She was trying to be
a baby face, but I guess people thought it was forced,
and so it's like they turned on her. Still, It's like, no,
we see you as a hell still, so we'll still
see you as a hell.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
When she came back against Ronda Rousing, she snatched the
championship and tried to put his baby face and snatched
the belt out.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about recently.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, I know I'm talking about I know you're talking
about I'm talking about even further back.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
But no, the way they set her up for her
return recently was Okay, you know, I'm gonna triumph, I'm
going to overcome this injury and everything like that, and
she tried to cut these baby face promos and people
were still bowing her, and then it's like, okay, you
know what turned the todd It's like when okay, so
you know, her and Tiffany were going back and forth, YadA, YadA, YadA.
(10:41):
But then once people felt as though Tiffany went below
the belt, and it's like, no, Tiffany's in the wrong,
we're turning on Tiffany.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Tiffany's bad this and that. So it's like, okay, cool
boom and.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
What she was doing in the fan camps.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And then and then so people turn on people turn
on her, and then you had Charlotte, you know, come
out with that that Players Tribune article phenomenal PR right there,
phenomenal PR because that day they was on Tiffany head
that day, so like phenomenal PR by Charlotte and then
(11:18):
you look at what happened that evolution. People are cheering
people like it's even to the point where it's like,
now you look, okay, because you've seen the video packages
it's clearly gonna be Tiffany versus Jade.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
People are.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
By default rooting for Jade just because they don't want
to see Tiffany anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And it's kind of terrible because Tiffany is turned into
a terrible person over the crowd. You got, okay, you
had the incense where she caught somebody boy twice?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well yeah, yeah, no, no, I mean she said watch your
mouth boy. Now that know the way the way that
the way that the way that the way that people
heard that, It's like, oh, that's crazy. Why would you
said that the way the way I heard the way
I heard it just because I you know you exactly well,
because I grew up with black women. I grew up
(12:07):
with black women, and I heard like that was like
watch your mouth boy. Like it's not like a watch
your mouth boy, it's more it was more of a
watch your mouth boy. It's like one of those things
like you you ever heard some when you're talking slick
to a girl. Probably she's like, watch your mouth boy,
I'm talking about from New York you talk like that.
(12:29):
So yeah, that's why I thought it was coming from
but she and then she had the incident with the
edit that was like I'm trying to remember. It was
like an edit a little TikTok I mean little TikTok
Instagram video and it said like the video in the
in the video was like I think it was either
Jade that she was hitting or uh, Pianka said black bitch.
(12:49):
I was like, I get it because she used because
if you noticed her before that incident, she was posting
stuff that like, okay, I'm probably you posting it. It's
like not even that. It's like she posts a lot
of rap music in her her little Instagram videos and
stuff like that. So I was like, I get it,
(13:10):
but and I get the backlash too, So I was like, hey, it.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Is what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Attention though K fav is dead, K been dead? Oh
no no, because you know why last night it was
met tonight in Tiffany Stratton posted TikTok with Nia Jacks. Yeah, Like,
I mean they really best friend I know her best
friends in real life, but like, come on, really they
were just fighting like two or three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, can we.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
At least give like some love to the bests that
just accepted my God, just accepted like the business. Somewhat
credibility in the business left somewhere.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I think the only one, the only person keeping k
Fave alive.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Is MJF. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I was just about to say MJF.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And honestly, this is why I say he's one of
the greatest right now and worldwide when it comes down
to everything.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Mj he told that line of like does he really
hate this guy and just like he doesn't give you
any indication that they're cool or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
We gotta do that one. They like just go to
our like a top five, like from everything from entrance
to ring, attire to move sets to promo to just
everything from from all ties.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
But I think we covered basically everything that was either
remotely exciting on.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
No, the Johnson and Cody segment that was pretty pretty
take it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Was, but it wasn't because it's like you got Cody
out there jumping like he's a sixty old man. Belly flop, flap,
belly fop, flat, belly flop, splash onto the table. And
then you know, the stupidest shit I've seen on Twitter
was it was at this moment that you've seen where
John turned to a face and Cody turned to the hill.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
The theory is that Cody's wearing wearing black and he's
turning heel at Summer Slam, and the Rock is gonna
help Sena and the whole I'm like, this makes no sense.
You've turned somebody who was babyface heel and somebody like
you can't just turn somebody like that. I understand the
fans love Sena, but to have them to turn and
flip flop from heel to the face is like, you
(15:21):
don't let that happen with work. You don't make it happen.
You let it happen naturally. You let the fans do it.
Rock and Hogan the flip flop of baby face and heel,
and that match happened naturally through the fans. The fans
cheered Hogan. Hogan was the heel going into that match.
And they cheered Hogan in Toronto, and so in my opinion,
(15:42):
I feel like they're trying to push the fact that
Cody's turning heel and they're giving the hens and they're
throwing the little subtle jab. No, let it happen natural.
Let them go to Jersey and let Jersey shower John
and his cheers. This is the last time they're gonna
see him. Cody's hill anytime soon. He's gonna win the
belt back at Summer Slam.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, he probably, He will probably win the belt back,
or I think what they'll try to do is set
up a couple of more matches down the road, because
I can see a situation where it's like, you still
got the A J match that people want to see. Uh,
but you could do that just for the Intercontinental title
if he loses, because that is the one title that
(16:23):
John has never helped.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Nope, he is not. And I would love to see it, honestly,
he breaks the record and gets to get to the
Interco Championship into the last.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Year, Yeah, get his Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It's like like the funniest thing is like, Yo, the
Intercontinental title has always been like that one that like
everybody has been out of everybody's reach Shams because yeah, Shana,
I mean not Seaman's got to get Shamus has to
get that because that he needs that to complete his
Grand Slam.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
The Pure Grand He has the Pure Grand Slam. Yeah,
because he won the roy Rumble, Money in the Bank Elimination,
Chambers Ring, the Ring, the w W Championship, the US Championship,
the Tag Team all, all the variant of the tag
team belts. He's been there for the Big gold In,
the Big Golden World Away Championship, the Spinner, the newer
(17:14):
WW belt.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, he's he's been there for everything. But like I said,
I'm trying to think I'm trying to get a good
s man. It was a solid, solid, ending promo. John
was trying to leave. Cody's like no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, no, no, no, no, no no, bring your ass here.
You're gonna sign this contract.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Honestly, I like it what they're going with this. It's
a good it's a good little startup to a street fight.
I love the sipulation add to the match. It gives
like the feeling of a classic John Z in the
field a little bit, but it's not not necessarily It's
just like you're trying to give John a good rival.
You're trying to and somebody said it best. Somebody said
(17:57):
it best. I'm not the biggest fan of ww plunder matches.
Uh they they w W.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I don't even know when the last time w W
had an exciting I think the last exciting plunder match
close to it had to been maybe seeing Punk versus Drew.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's about it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
What do you okay when you mean by a plunder match,
you mean like.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Like three DQ's ladder match.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You haven't seen a good one from det B.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, like the last one that you would probably say
is the What's I think either Drew either you either
gotta go, it's either between. It's a tip. It's a
three way tie. Either Drew Drew versus Punk and hellas out, uh,
Cody Roads versus Kevin, Kevin Owens. I think ed Roy
(18:48):
Rumbo and Kevin Owens versus Sammy saying. And I felt
like that was even tame. I felt like you could
have did way more with that.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And and the.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Thing about the thing that holds w W back is
the blood policy. It's like, if y'all, if y'all were
allowed to just actually go him probably could do something
like U C A W.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You look at their plunder matches.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And you know what, I'll give it to them. They
have good plunder matches. But it's like everyone does not
need to bleed. Everyone does not need to bleed. Not
everyone needs to bleed, not every not I'm sorry to
say it, but like not every mid caartter. But you
do need blood. Every mid carter needs a blood no no, no.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But you do need blood and bluff hughes. Like if
you look at Triple A to the booker right right,
if you look at any of his best matches, he
has the crimson mass. He used it as his advantage.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
That was a different time. And then the sponsors you
look at you look at John Cena, some of John's
best matches and versus jbl I quip match blood crimson
blood match.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I know a lot of w w's best stuff comes
what made what made Austin.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
The blood.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Heart brat heart, bred heart, blood dropping down his face.
That made Austin like blood sometimes helped elevate stores. Now
I can't wait for the I know it'll probably never happened,
but the day they let women blade in the in
w W, in the FAED.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, no, no, I'm not going to call it the FED.
It's not the Fed. It's the fat. It's not the fat.
It's the big dubh Come boy, it's the big wye
when people go with the fat. Yes, it's not the fat.
It's not. It's like we're over here. It's not the Fed.
It's literally the saving grace is the hope. It's the
(20:40):
big w Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But uh, I'm trying to think, we go we want
to go, do you you I'm gonna let you stay
the ship a little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, so we're going order. We're going order. So t
NA was the week was this weekend first? And then
it'll go over.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Aw Okay, oh a second, before we do that, just
give a little a little love to collision. Shout out
to them.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And they're doing that.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I believe they're doing a I forgot how many dates.
I think seven dates in Chicago. Forget the name of
the venue at this current moment, but it's a beautiful venue.
Shout out to aw. The Hangman. The Hangman's story is progressing.
I think we're going to see most likely him in MJF.
(21:25):
He cut an amazing promot sort of aw dynamite I.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Love the Hangman promo. I felt like it was the
right promo. Now, the whole MJF storyline, I feel like
they need to hold off and wait. I feel like
you need to wait and let that mayor in nate
for a little bit. You have something better, Bruing behold
that one. Did you pay attention to Bobby Lasty's face?
Did you pay attention to how his face talk expressions
was when MJF was like, I'm the best in the world,
(21:53):
and I'm the greatest, and I'm this, that and the third. Yeah,
Bobby lastly, hands down is the main eventor no question.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah, but he was at that He's fifty, Bobby fifty
Now come on now, God damn it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But Bobby's a competitor, Bobby's a winner, Bobby's a champion
at the end of the day. And Bobby's not gonna
let somebody sit there in his face and say, ye,
he's better, he's the best in the world. When Bobby
knows that, damn well, in his right mind, he could
be the best in the world.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I like what they did with their women's division, that
they slowly bringing it up and you could tell who's
who's the focal point. Who's the real focal point of
their women's division? Mercedes, Tony Queen Almanada, Thecla, Willow christat Lander.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
The pop for win Widow Willow. I need Willow n
didn't go to win that Women's World Championship in Long Island.
Well the pop they would get for.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Her, Well, we gonna we don't have, we don't have
our of forever champion. Athena. Well she's gonna get that belt,
so trust to believe.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Honestly, I'm with I with it.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
We're coming for you, Tony Storm.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
But then again, I love Tony as champion and I
phenomenal character. I don't want Athena to get the Woman's
World champion.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You know what you're talking about? Ka, Yeah, we forgot
to mention Tony Storm.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Tony Storm keeping k fab is at these press conferences.
Her line, her seriousness of saying the most wildest stuff
ever is hilarious. From the to my mother, fuck you,
I'm just like, what does she do? She wasn't even here,
she was home watching the Straight before. You know. I
feel bad for what Juice Robinson deals with at home,
(23:38):
Joe Kny.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
But now we can get to the TNA show as
you as we me and coryn alluded to. We were
both present at this show at.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Ubs beautiful seats.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
This is TNA's largest gate and oh, I want to say,
oh twelve years in twelve years are more because they
they promoted as this is this was their biggest gate ever.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Seven hundred and ninety six thousand people.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It was. It was a nice it was. It was
a nice crowd. I seen a lot of people. I've
seen a lot of Puerto Rican flags, a lot of botiquas.
They was ready for Mike sy and Tanda to get
that way. We're gonna get to that. But you know,
let's go a little bit down the card because because
me personally, I would just give my overall opinion on
(24:29):
the show just real quickly. You can give yours and
then we can run it down. My overall opinion on
the show was.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Good war. I mean, I can't even say good work.
It was. It was all case show, but.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
A lot of dumb decisions, a lot of dumb dumb, dumb,
dumb dumb decisions like like so many to be so
many to so many that it's hard to explain yours.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
From my opinion, I loved the show. I loved what
we sitting at. We were sitting right there by Gorilla.
We were seeing wrestlers come out through the backside, just
coming to watch the matches. I saw a bunch of
restaurant Matt Hardy before he even came out home, like
a crazy tan. It was just a great position. It
was a great show. I like when we get into
the decisions. We had kind of mixed opinions about the
decision making, and I kind of seen my bi but
(25:21):
my bias opinion about certain things. But I all together,
I love the show. I got to relive some of
my greatest moments from my childhood, like seeing the Mooses
classic og entrance that I thought I would never see
in my life. I got to live through with Enzo
Morey's entrance. I always wanted to live through Joe Hendry's.
It's just certain things that you want to be there
for and your in person, and then we finally get
(25:42):
to do It's like god damn, because we.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Know you was waving your hand from.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh, I have all the videos.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
What I'm trying to think, Well, it was the ill
Konic ill.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Ill inspirations versus the asked by elegance, and I was like,
and if I'm being honest with you, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm trying to remember who Shorty was. That was her
tag team.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
She was tiny, she was short. I was like, I
was like, I was shocked at her. I was shocked
at her small.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
She looked like she was. I looked her up. She's like,
I don't know for her name for eleven for eleven
damn that like she was on the borderline. She's on
the borderline. She's a fairy, a short fairy. But we
love her though she's not.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It was I love what they're doing blow as.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I love what they're doing what ash right now. They're
giving her a good storyline. She's tender.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Did you see the funk up that they did? Yes,
y'all didn't even peep until somebody told me.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I'm like, they fucked up, yes, Like they had like
the okay, we're ready, I see it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm like, you can't be.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Serious, you know, I didn't even peep.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
So they're sitting there and they're literally like telling them, okay,
get ready, get ready, all right, man action, and then
they get in the cares. I'm like, literally, you're not
dead ass, I'm like, are you serious. I'm like, yo,
I was.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I probably was focusing on in the ring work, but
I mean like focusing around the crowd and stuff, looking
to see if I can see anybody, because they did
have a couple of people shout the West Side. You
know he was in the building, you know, support and
for Rope because that was the next match. Yes, okay,
I'm trying to remember it, right, Steve Macklin yep. Man
(27:37):
Swanner yep.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Trying to remember Jake Jake Something, Oh Jake Something versus
and Joe Real one, En Zoe roll In Real one,
uh Xilo two and.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Uh Josh bick Up, Big Josh Bishops the one that
hit the dude that looked like Psycho said, and he
looked we saw him before the match was happening, and
I'm looking at him warm up and I'm just like,
he is built like Psycho said and.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Shout shout out to shout out to fourth Rope. You know,
they doing anything, They doing anything. But my problem with
this match was I feel like this could have been
on a as much as Steve Macklin has been doing
to put him on a pre show match, It's kind
of wild. I felt as though you should have foud
you should you should have tried to find some way
to put him on the main card.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I think it's because of the fact that this is
a new promotion. They're still trying to work something out
and work something small, and then they're still trying to
make a name. They don't want to put it on
a pay per view yet, and they want to wait
and see how attraction does through a small just like
maybe a pre show in a free gate. I think
that was the idea to it, and I feel like
now they're gonna like how successful was because just off
(28:44):
of that alone, Like I posted a zilofa too clip
that that that had literally five almost six k views
because of the fact that Zillafa two is so impressive
and fascinating to see.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
On tip top. Yeah, oh I gotta I got post
on tits. I canna get like you.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Literally, do you get paid off these views? Depends on
how much use if you get. The more you get,
the more like they paid. Question, what's the most sup
we got paid from to TikTok?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Then I'm only I'm the most iver got like about
one hundred dollars. That's because I went hard that whole month.
But like, I don't go crazy on TikTok because TikTok
is like the small bread.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's like, how do they pay you? Do they see
you like a check or something?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
No, almost call it PayPal up in my PayPal account,
dirct deposit and then every as soon as it hits
fifty dollars more and then gets that day, sends my
account transferred to my main account.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Now that's what's up. That's that's that's solid. But get
more into the to get more into this car though.
The opening match, well who's opening metro? It was Ali
versus Alexander.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Okay, they they they had a they had a Okay,
if I had to rank it, they had a solid
three point seventy five.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
They tried to lift that old school take over with
magic too old Live live Magic.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I respect, I respect the hustle.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
The cruise away classic. I felt like they reminded me
and I had to go back and look it up.
This day, they took parts of their their two old
fire their other matches. This is like a repliclub. Their
old matches were a little bit of their new resumes
of move sets, and I feel like this was an
evolution of these two and arrival Because me personally, I
(30:26):
don't like Cetric Alexander. If you know me, I call
him the two of five live guy. I don't like him.
I never liked them. It's nothing personal. I just don't
like him. I just never liked him in the hurt business.
I just felt like he was the bump guy. He
was just there just to be there. It's like you're
a lackey, Like you'll never be world champion. It'll just
be a mid carter. You suck. But nothing wrong with him.
But how I thought about this match, I felt like
(30:48):
this was a great opener. It's a great match to
wipe up the crowd with so many near faults.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Uh, okay, the what's his finish shit move?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
The lumbar check.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
The lumbar check on Tasha was solid but wild. How
you have all those people with you and when you
do a dive of tope, see though nobody caught your ass, Sally,
you did an undertake, You did an undertake of wrestle Mania.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You almost you almost fucked yourself up.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Man, your career. Huh you almost tended your career. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I was like it was like we gotta play its smart.
I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I didn't like the all that interference and all that
ship that muck that match up.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I should have just been a clean match.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, And I feel like now this is gonna lead
to them having a cleaner match down the line as
either like what Sacrifice or Slam or Slam not Sam
vers here Bound for Glory in October probably either that
or they're going to be ending up seeing each other
in a Bound for Glory tournament. If they're they should
doing the Bound for Gold tournament, right, I'm not too
sure they should still do it. If they if they're
really trying to go back to the old ways, they
should bring back the Ultimate X Match. They should bring
(31:50):
back the Bound for Glory series. They should really and
maybe if they really want to do it, but back
the eight Side ring, bring back the eight Side. If
they really want to go back to their glory days
and bring back something special and do something special, bring
back the eight side and really get that thing meant
for the wrestlers that they can make it safe in
the work on. I think the eight side right now
(32:11):
in this generation can do wonders and bring them views.
And I think after what Bischoff said on the podcast,
he is right. If Tina gets a good TV deal
on like a premier network, say a FX or somewhere
that you can see that you know what you can get.
It's not like a dead end channel. They're going to
(32:31):
take over at number two and surpass AW. That's why
I think who you said who DNA can do what
surpassed and the ae W if they get a good
TV deal. No, no, if you you you don't think so.
Right now, with the momentum, the momentum they have the WWE,
(32:51):
the fact that they're getting pushed and they're getting the
shove and they're getting the love and the push from
the big w WE.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Go, So we're gonna we're gonna talk more about this car.
But don't don't say no stupid ship. Now, come on now.
The a W is supplanted as the second best wrestling
company in the United States.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yes, and I get that.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And if we're talking about in ring work, they might
be number one, they might be number one ng ring work.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
It's a debate. It's a debate about number one. It's
I'm like, okay, other than the ospray okay, osprey Omega Okada, swerve.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Swerve you did hangman?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
The Young Bucks the arguably one of the greatest tag teams.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
All all behind, water down watered down boys.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
From what they're about to win. I bet you this.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
They're probably going to tack Team Championships.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
No no, no, no, no no, they're not going to watch they
win Tag Team of the Year in the.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Melting them because Melzer loves them, because they didn't win.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
It last year. No no, no they did. I think they
did it. I'm not too sure if they did. I
know Fraxim was like color close.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Like I said, at the end of the day. The
Cucamonga kids, they they they they watered down wash.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
My boy, you studying Eric Mitchell yesterday?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Was you know? I was watching Jim Cornett. I'm an
average Jim Cornett fan. Oh Courtney drive Through.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Oh Runner, they they're gonna honk T. They're gonna honk T.
Shown now they're oh no.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
No no. I still have my boys depending like I
still watch a w still have my different pains in him.
But it's like we can I can see the eye
with Jim Cornell certain things, and it's like with the
Young But the Bucks, they they were good they were great.
They try to be innovate with their characters. But the
EVP thing got it died out a while ago, and
I feel.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Like but but it's like you said, the EVP thing
died a long time ago. Yes, but to get try
to finish up with teen because because we're gonna have
a short show today to get a lot of things happen.
We're gonna have a short show today. But I'm trying
to think of some of the other matches that happened.
We might not go on older, but I'm just going
off the matches off the top of my head. I'm
(35:14):
just go Marsha versus j C, good match, wrong winner.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I agree with you. I agree with you completely, But
I think this is leading to something bigger and.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
What could be that was your biggest show, that was
your big one.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I think this is going to Jordan Grace. I think
either Blake Monroe or Okay, but then okay, so j C.
If Jordan Grace wins, Blake Moron wins.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
The title right right right boom, that's still a WWE
person holding your title. Okay, how do you get How
does TNA get this? How does teen get the title back?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Look? Their best bet is ash She's a number one contender.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
You don't feel like this, like they look like they
bitching them a little bit.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You ain't think this was gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I mean, come on, like it's a partnership. Like this
look like a partnership.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
They're probably gonna like somebody gonna probably get like like
like like the North American somebody might get a North
American Championship match and get a belt. They might give
it a son like card might get a belt.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
No, no, I don't want to see Cardona.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Cardona's gonna probably go to NXT. He probably match Cardona.
And please stay the indie god that you are sellout
or or or or or you know somebody system because
I don't know they're they're eyeing Moose.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
You gotta really think.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
About it that they're not Iron Moose. I'm gonna tell
you right now. Okay, so we already said it. Uh
j C J One shout to jay Cy James was
having a phenomenal year. Yeah, you said they're eyeing somebody.
I know who they're areing.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Oh oh, they said one person there to do one job,
a recruiting job, a recruiting job.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
He was like this, he he j.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Get that kid from Radford.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
You go to go the TNA, They're probably gonna ask
you to do a match. No, we're not doing that ship.
We're not giving him a match. Yeah, what it needs
to do is when you go out there to this
kid who's going win the six division title, slipping that
contract in the back and go slip them in that car. Well,
we're gonna get They're gonna have Javan and Lena bad Bet,
(37:32):
the young guys of n XT WASH.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I can tell you who they probably scouted. They probably
might want Masha, but then because but they got Jake,
they got Jordan's so they don't really need nobody else.
They probably might get Mike because his contract.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Is up and I love that for him. In a
couple of months, they might get Mike.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
They might they honestly might get Joe Hendry just because us,
just because just because you know they they kind of
fucked them up over a lot of times. So it's like, yeah,
we're gonna give you something, might give you a little contract.
You're gonna hold out NXC. You're not gonna be on
that main roster. Just let you know there's certain niggas
that you will not see on the main roster. I'm sorry.
(38:17):
Joe Henry might be one of them. And UH, Tony D'Angel.
Tony D'Angelo will probably never make it to the main roster.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, there's a couple. There's a couple. There's a couple
of dudes.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
In the UH on the NXC roster that I'll never
see the main roster.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Honestly, my whole thing about the whole TNA and that'll
be deal. I think it was part of the fact
that Naomi had pushed us all and she was the
reason why everybody is connected. Now, She's the main reason.
That's number one, thank you, that's you just may have
a main character. She was the reason why if you
(38:54):
don't think about it, der it be focused on TNA
and pay attention to TNA because she was there, Okay.
And then and then that opened their eyes to Jordan
Grace because that matter.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Be chain them too, Jordan has always been solid, you know,
opened her eyes, you know, opened up people eyes towards
Jordan's getting in the royal rumble. Scott the Moore negotiated
her getting into the rumble, and I was like, all right,
cool bet cool beans. Because they've seen what a W
was doing as far as the forbidden door and everything
like that. W W want to hop on that train.
So it's like, Okay, we have a we have a portal.
(39:26):
We have a forbidden portal.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Don't don't do that.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Cool we have a forbidden portal.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
There's no such fucking thing as the forbidden portal.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
We have a portal. We know y'all just have partnerships.
We don't have We don't have doors, we have portals.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
W W just has partnerships, and it's like.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
We have portals and t k oh money t.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
K oh money. Due niggas is broke.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
You ain't noticed, no, Yeah, program broke. They've been seeing
the stage developments.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah they broke. Where's the piral? At what happened to?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
We take a bunch of cut But next match, I
believe it was the kid from Bradford versus Moose.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Shout out, okay the match, shout out to Moose for
putting over Leon Slater.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I still think he has one.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
He has one of the best, one of the best
finishers in wrestling. That Swanton four fifty is crazy as how.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I love the entrances and just the fact that Moose
with the throne.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Leon Leon Slater with the with the with the with
the purple silk. It's with the purple silky. I love
the or like like the vibe. It gives an arena
like the lighting. It's so if if you want to
use the live. He ain't getting no pop, no no pop.
Nobody as wrong. You know, he got no pop.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
But then as soon as you heard the fucking Moose sentrance,
Moose Moose move.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
We love Moose, Moose. Damn.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
I'm like Moose, but I'm trying to get through this move.
I'm trying to We're trying to get him through this.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
AJ Styles came out after the match.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
AJ Styles with this old thing, get ready to fly.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I am Mayam and.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
He just basically gave Leon Slayer his flowers and he
got the funk up out of it.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
He's like, he's like, everybody said, what more match?
Speaker 1 (41:17):
She said, wait, hold on, hold on, I'll come back
to that, and never got back to it. He's like,
I'm out, I'm out, I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Let's go rapid.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I'm waiting for trick. We hopping on their first jet
because that's where all they went. They went to Houston
next night.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
I'm trying to think, what else, what else?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
What else?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
The ladder batch A J.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Francis was the m v P of that ladder, matching
the moon doing the moon soaw and then almost fucking
he killed No, no, he didn't kill his legs. He
almost destroyed his whole he kids his whole reproduction system.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
I was like, why the funk would you take that
bump like that?
Speaker 1 (41:53):
You jumped.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
I can understand if you went like shoulder shoulder first,
shoulder inside, body first, my son with legs first, and said,
I'll risk.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
It for the people for when any contexts never seen
this or just that, never look it up, look it
up and see it for yourself after I explain this.
But AJ Francis on typical bump, but wrestler would lean
back for first into the ladder and you would fall
into a ladder. AJ Francis, being the dumb ass he is,
jumps into the ladder and it goes nuts first into
the ladder steps. So that means his nuts got crushed
(42:25):
into the steps as the impact was coming from down,
so he might have been bleeding internally or all over
the floor.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
But then you have okay, the Hardy's won, then you
have Bubba Bubba come out and he's proposing was it
a tables match? Nope, it's just one last okay, one
last match between the Dudleys versus the Hardys. And obviously
you've seen that Christian and Edge are doing. I mean,
Christian and Cope are doing the thing in aw. But
(42:55):
I'm like, who asks for this shit? In twenty twenty
five and Big twenty twenty five, No, by.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Romer around the block is a certain somebody's contract is
up in October? But but knowing Tony, he might add
that injury time back.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Oh Edges, No, he got he had two three years left.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
No, his contract is up in October.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
I don't know shore about that.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yep, it is already already the research on that one,
I got. I gotta tell you, because his contracts, they
were staying his contract up at the end of October.
They might add him. They might add injury time back
to him. But if he's a free agent and they
let and Tony doesn't let, if nobody.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry to tell you this, but uh,
nobody trys to the Big Coping twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
The people in a w actively believe he's what made
the Death Riders storyline horrible. Okay, people in a w
LAMB don't talk about no no, because look, look look
at it like this. Once Moxley started fucking with the
stop fucking with coping him, his ship got better for
some reason. His storyline got better because Rustling got better.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
No, I'm just saying like this, I might not want
Edge over there, but we want the Edge for multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
We do not want Edge versus Sena Edge, Edge versus
Sena Edge. Just go home, Edge versus Sena one last time.
Go home Seena's greatest rival. If you're gonna do a
scene retirement, so you gotta give all his rivals. Just
go home.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
You're too old for this ship.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
You know he's doing. But he's just not in the
right company right now. Okay.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
The only thing I would mention about the Tesla Blanche
match was Indy. Indy hot Well is somewhat improving.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Indy is a mid carter that's soon to get pushed
into the main events scene. I feel like one more good.
She's not that good though, She's really not that good,
not that good. I like Indy, She's she's below average
phenomenal performance in Tesla Blanchet with the we.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
To know, we are not doing we are not doing
this Tesla blanche propaganda on here. No, not this deep state,
this deep state conspiracy theory. All right, she's a good wrestler.
I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
She's a good she's a good wrestler. She's a britt
she's a decent looking lady. She can work the mic.
I just think she is. She is she needs to
be with a certain somebody.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
What was the crowd saying she's a racist? Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
I was not chatting with them. I was not. I
was saying, let's go, let's go, Tessa. I was saying,
I stand with you. I was trying to get it
started backing up. I was trying to get it started
back up. Once it started dying down, I was like,
wake that's up.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I was.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
I said, I stand with Tessa talking up.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
All I know is when all I know is that
the fact that she I'm trying to remember the fact
that she is suspended. Please Sean hb K throw a
lot of that women in n X T Oh my god,
don't you allow that woman.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I wouldn't I don't want her to. I just thought
about what I want her to be at and it's
kind of kind of messages up what we have going on.
Triple H no triple A, no Triple H. Pick up
the phone. I need you, I need I need you
to fix this storyline. Alexa is not Charlotte's partner. We
don't need Charlotte to have Alexa. We need Tesla and
Charlotte together. That is feeding families. I would love it.
(46:23):
I would love Tesla and Charlotte at tag Team. You
understand how much heat that's getting.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Is this man? Is this man no crack that he's
so perfect? I don't want Tesla anywhere near the war
wrestling entertainment.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
She's gonna end up there. She's gonna end up there.
She's gonna end up. The day she wants up there,
I will text you and smile on my face is
the day I'm posting the all eleage graphic bomb my
name and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (46:51):

she will never grace the ring in my beloved.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Fed You can't call it the fed called called that
you can't call it the FED. That means you're not
even a.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Real fan, a fan. I've been watching it longer than you.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
You can't say you you call it the FED. It's
like you're turning on the people at that that said,
I brought you to the dance.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
It was the Federation. At one point it was literally
in an a, it's not we caught the big dub.
Now it's not.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
It's the big dub.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Now, no, you're nothing. W W is not the dub.
It's the dub is a W it's the thing.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
No, it's the big w the big way digress.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Let's listen to the main event.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Mike got Mike gout. He he was on his Jaho's
so ship like he was. He had the crowd rocking.
Everybody was working with him. He had he had his
he had I forgot. I don't know what rappit that
was you sp spin and then perfect. Then you had
my boy Trick Williams with the guy with the black
choir trick.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Huh always missing out there.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Uh yo, shout out to the shout out to the
to the booker t inspired gig Blacks.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
No. So, in my opinion, this match, great match, wrong
decision on the winner. Great ending, the ending. I kind
of predicted the ending towards the end, and I felt
like that it was gonna be it was gonna be
trick faking an injury. But at the same time, I
felt like that it wasn't gonna be like that. I thought,
(48:36):
Mike Santana has got the win. It's hometown.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
Yeah, But like I said to me, the ending was
bullsh The ending was bullshit, and I don't like how.
I don't like how it ended per se because I felt,
like I said, I felt like Tena is getting bitched
in this relationship.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Ah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
So, like I said, so, this was just a quick
wrap up of the weekend events for us. We would
go into more detail, but that's about it for us today.
That's about it for us. We next show, next show.
We promised to give y'all at least an hour and
a half close to hours. We're gonna try to do it,
he would, definitely, we'll do that. We're gonna try to
get ya. We're gonna try to get y'all at at
(49:18):
least all right. That was that's all for me and
Corey David and is good one And that's when the
bell rings,
This production is brought to you by the Recess Bell.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm better than you and you know it. I believe
in Joe Hen and Dread. Yeah, you got nothing. You
get what you have earned, and what you have earned
is nothing. You got the cool music, you got, the lights,
(00:36):
you got the fog machine, you got the girl.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You know what they do to make out them told
feels special. They bring the freaking bell.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And welcome to another edition of When the Bell Rings,
hosted by your boys, Corey David.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
In Corn Goodwin.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
How's everything going with you, Coy, I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Doing pretty good, recovering from Sunday Night a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Uh, we're gonna we're gonna jump into that a little
bit soon. Just to give everybody context, me and Korn
was at TNA's Slammiversary at the Ubs Arena.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It was an amazing time. I literally have barely have
a voice right now because of the fact that he's
just screaming and yelling for everything.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I mean, we will, we will have discussions about that show,
in particular some of the events that went down. Let's
get in, let's get into some of the recap over
the weekend and just everything like that. With SmackDown, it
it SmackDown. It was an odd show because I'm not
(01:39):
gonna lie to me.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
This is just to me.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Without the tag division, the men's tag division, that show
is dull shit.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm honestly, I'm my opinion. I feel like SmackDown right
now is in a different direction because of the fact
that I don't know they wanted if they want to
push the Wied six storyline, they wanted to see where
this goes to the tacking division. I feel like this
is going to push to the fact that the White
Six might break up the street profits. This is what
might lead to and.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's like, cool, could you move the mic up to
you a little bit, my fault, stop picking you up?
As much as I would think.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
All right, yeah, I think this might lead to the
street profits who are breaking up. And I think the
White Six, because you gott really think about the White Six,
the Gray White he changed people, He changes you, The
Wit six changed you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
They well, I don't need them breaking up per se.
If they were to go in there on separate ways,
I could see something like that, but I don't need
them breaking up. I needed to be a situation where
it's like, yo, we're still cool, but I just want
to go out the single scull if that's what they're doing.
But if that's not what they're doing, I can still
see this freak. There's still value in the street profits
and the tech divisions.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I in my opinion, Flix Mac Them to Seek was
a funny, a funny weekest. I feel like the Riders
went really on the funnier side with the way they
opened up the show with Solo. Solo, as as the
serious as he is, he is a comedy character.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He's not serious if if you really look at it,
Solo is just it's just Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
He's Hill. He's Hill version of Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And I'm surprised people haven't noticed that already. Nothing about
I mean early on, even when you think about it
like this when they try to switch his character. When
you think about him in n XT, A lot of
his things he was like the street like the street
fighter guy whatever, whatever. But a lot of that relied
on him being like quick, witted, like funny. It's like
street smarter, street like street like witty. It's like, you know,
(03:35):
he always had a comeback for everybody. So it doesn't
surprise me now that he's on the main Rosster and
he let him get the file. The expressed more of
his character and let him express his expresses, his funny
side that he's killing it. Because that bit with him
and Cody Rose was funny as hell.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I found it hilarious. Cody, Cody saved me, Cody, Cody.
I'm like, ain't no way, Cody, out of all people
solo you begging for you to save you right now,
he ain't gonna save you. I found Andrade and Ray
Phoenix winning the number one Contendentship match really interesting to me.
That was a curveball.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That was that was That was the curveball for you.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, I felt like, you know that everything that happened
that night on SmackDown Down was a curveball. Everything else
was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I mean, Andrada is one of the best wrestlers on
their Rosster. If you ever give him a chance, he should.
To me, he should be fighting for the United States
side ride thing.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I don't think he should be attack teams in the
tag teams scene right now. Now. It shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
But you finding you're finding out something to do, and
I and I figure that you can't do put Pinta
with his brother yet because you obviously see the success
of Pinta as a single star. My thing with how
every how this show is shaping up. If you really
wanted to progress a SmackDown the way you see a
ross progressing, follow what they're doing right now. I mean, okay,
(04:57):
so what you would have to do is build up
that women's because you clearly see that the women's division
is carrying Raw right now, right right, That's true, and
so my model would be put the best rustlers on,
put the best product on. So I would do something
similar to like bringing up uh Lolavice, Jada Parker, soul
(05:20):
Ruka last legend. I would bring up some of these
hungry women. Now you could bring up Jordan Grace, but
I'll not show if y'all want to do that yet.
But yeah, bring up some of these hungry women and
just make it. Just make this division exciting, like how
you see Raw's division is, and so it gives Tom
so you can see it. Julia actually defending her title
(05:41):
because why the hell is she in like the background,
not even in a back stage segment. She's in the
background of a background and she's just talking to Keana James.
I'm like, okay, now you gotta figure out what the
fuck does that mean. I'm like, no, like, actually have
your champion out there, go defend it. It's the same
problem I had with EO when she didn't have the title.
(06:02):
When she had the title, she's the champ, but she's
not wrestling on TV.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And honestly, I don't like this new era where I
feel like ever since COVID that yeah, COVID, and ever
since the Brocles and the championship run, the first one
where he went on a high ends, it's where you
don't get to see the champion defend on the random,
on the night Raw and no more. You don't get
to see a champion be there every night. You don't
get to see a champion be out there writing. You
don't get a night of Champions for all the champions.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I don't think you had anything to do with I
don't think you had anything to do with.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
COVID ay thing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I think probably probably a couple of different separate situations,
but you had the incident where Ria got injured and
that kind of hampered the division, when Cody got injured,
When Cody towards Peck when he was supposed to be
on that guy like maybe what they'll do is when
somebody's a champ and they invested in them, they'll put
them in bubble rap. Basically like as you can see,
(06:55):
when EO was the champ, she didn't get any matches.
Eos not the chip. She's she's on roll consistently. So
I'm just saying, like that's something that i would love
to see on the SmackDown side.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Build the women, build a women's division up.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Then you give a Montest and a Montes and Rode
Alistair Alistair bat Black, and I know you have you
have to have solo. You have to have solo Carmelo, Hayes, Jimmy, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And l A. Knight and those guys. You let that
build out the mid card.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Uh you used to have Cody at the top, and
then like you try to build that top, try to
build the top of that division up. So like you
see how I'm kind of working it in Like it's like, yeah, okay,
you get two to two. I'll say, because you got two,
you got two hours, you get two two to three
women's matches, right, you get uh two promos, two promos
(07:55):
either Cody or somebody else get think a little two promos,
you get the little backstage segment here, and if you
can't fit it in, make it a digital exclusive, and
then you'll have one tag match, probably one mid card match,
and if you can get a championship match every so
often in it, you can't try to make it like
a four or five match card like every other night.
(08:17):
And please don't do that troupe up. I'm gonna get
into this latter, but there's a trope that WW does
a lot that I hate.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Honestly, I agree with that one right there. And to furthermore,
what you were saying to that degree, WW is not
as they're strong on one suit and it's like they're
like a teetertotter. It's like they're leaning on one side
and they're not leading on the other side, where it
can be a balance. You're not leaning. You're leaning on
the raw side, where you're catering to certain storylines, certain wrestlers.
(08:45):
When SmackDown still has you have one of your best
baby faces on SmackDown, you have all these different assets
on SmackDown, and then your woman's division on SmackDown suffers
in so many different ways where it's to a point
where Charlotte now was in the attacking division, and honestly,
I'm okay with that and I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, I think that was the smartest move they could do.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I do want to get into that because Alexa
blis Alexa Bliss and Charlotte, you know, tag teaming and
doing that thing on Fridays.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's been, it's been, it's been.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Inact, they're weird dynamic of oh, we're not friends, it's not,
but they're slowly growing on each other.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is Jericho and Edge.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah kinda. And I couldn't I just take one time
to shout out. I got not a shoutout. But Tiffany
Stratton has done something that nobody has ever done, probably
end to be history. Oh god, she has become so dislikable.
Oh my god, she has become so dislikable that people
(09:47):
are now cheering for Charlotte because you remember she couldn't
get Remember when she first came back from the from
her from her knee injury. She was trying to be
a baby face, but I guess people thought it was forced,
and so it's like they turned on her. Still, It's like, no,
we see you as a hell still, so we'll still
see you as a hell.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
When she came back against Ronda Rousing, she snatched the
championship and tried to put his baby face and snatched
the belt out.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about recently.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, I know I'm talking about I know you're talking
about I'm talking about even further back.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
But no, the way they set her up for her
return recently was Okay, you know, I'm gonna triumph, I'm
going to overcome this injury and everything like that, and
she tried to cut these baby face promos and people
were still bowing her, and then it's like, okay, you
know what turned the todd It's like when okay, so
you know, her and Tiffany were going back and forth, YadA, YadA, YadA.
(10:41):
But then once people felt as though Tiffany went below
the belt, and it's like, no, Tiffany's in the wrong,
we're turning on Tiffany.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Tiffany's bad this and that. So it's like, okay, cool
boom and.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
What she was doing in the fan camps.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And then and then so people turn on people turn
on her, and then you had Charlotte, you know, come
out with that that Players Tribune article phenomenal PR right there,
phenomenal PR because that day they was on Tiffany head
that day, so like phenomenal PR by Charlotte and then
(11:18):
you look at what happened that evolution. People are cheering
people like it's even to the point where it's like,
now you look, okay, because you've seen the video packages
it's clearly gonna be Tiffany versus Jade.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
People are.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
By default rooting for Jade just because they don't want
to see Tiffany anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And it's kind of terrible because Tiffany is turned into
a terrible person over the crowd. You got, okay, you
had the incense where she caught somebody boy twice?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well yeah, yeah, no, no, I mean she said watch your
mouth boy. Now that know the way the way that
the way that the way that the way that people
heard that, It's like, oh, that's crazy. Why would you
said that the way the way I heard the way
I heard it just because I you know you exactly well,
because I grew up with black women. I grew up
(12:07):
with black women, and I heard like that was like
watch your mouth boy. Like it's not like a watch
your mouth boy, it's more it was more of a
watch your mouth boy. It's like one of those things
like you you ever heard some when you're talking slick
to a girl. Probably she's like, watch your mouth boy,
I'm talking about from New York you talk like that.
(12:29):
So yeah, that's why I thought it was coming from
but she and then she had the incident with the
edit that was like I'm trying to remember. It was
like an edit a little TikTok I mean little TikTok
Instagram video and it said like the video in the
in the video was like I think it was either
Jade that she was hitting or uh, Pianka said black bitch.
(12:49):
I was like, I get it because she used because
if you noticed her before that incident, she was posting
stuff that like, okay, I'm probably you posting it. It's
like not even that. It's like she posts a lot
of rap music in her her little Instagram videos and
stuff like that. So I was like, I get it,
(13:10):
but and I get the backlash too, So I was like, hey, it.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Is what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Attention though K fav is dead, K been dead? Oh
no no, because you know why last night it was
met tonight in Tiffany Stratton posted TikTok with Nia Jacks. Yeah, Like,
I mean they really best friend I know her best
friends in real life, but like, come on, really they
were just fighting like two or three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, can we.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
At least give like some love to the bests that
just accepted my God, just accepted like the business. Somewhat
credibility in the business left somewhere.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I think the only one, the only person keeping k
Fave alive.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Is MJF. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I was just about to say MJF.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And honestly, this is why I say he's one of
the greatest right now and worldwide when it comes down
to everything.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Mj he told that line of like does he really
hate this guy and just like he doesn't give you
any indication that they're cool or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
We gotta do that one. They like just go to
our like a top five, like from everything from entrance
to ring, attire to move sets to promo to just
everything from from all ties.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
But I think we covered basically everything that was either
remotely exciting on.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
No, the Johnson and Cody segment that was pretty pretty
take it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Was, but it wasn't because it's like you got Cody
out there jumping like he's a sixty old man. Belly flop, flap,
belly fop, flat, belly flop, splash onto the table. And
then you know, the stupidest shit I've seen on Twitter
was it was at this moment that you've seen where
John turned to a face and Cody turned to the hill.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
The theory is that Cody's wearing wearing black and he's
turning heel at Summer Slam, and the Rock is gonna
help Sena and the whole I'm like, this makes no sense.
You've turned somebody who was babyface heel and somebody like
you can't just turn somebody like that. I understand the
fans love Sena, but to have them to turn and
flip flop from heel to the face is like, you
(15:21):
don't let that happen with work. You don't make it happen.
You let it happen naturally. You let the fans do it.
Rock and Hogan the flip flop of baby face and heel,
and that match happened naturally through the fans. The fans
cheered Hogan. Hogan was the heel going into that match.
And they cheered Hogan in Toronto, and so in my opinion,
(15:42):
I feel like they're trying to push the fact that
Cody's turning heel and they're giving the hens and they're
throwing the little subtle jab. No, let it happen natural.
Let them go to Jersey and let Jersey shower John
and his cheers. This is the last time they're gonna
see him. Cody's hill anytime soon. He's gonna win the
belt back at Summer Slam.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, he probably, He will probably win the belt back,
or I think what they'll try to do is set
up a couple of more matches down the road, because
I can see a situation where it's like, you still
got the A J match that people want to see. Uh,
but you could do that just for the Intercontinental title
if he loses, because that is the one title that
(16:23):
John has never helped.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Nope, he is not. And I would love to see it, honestly,
he breaks the record and gets to get to the
Interco Championship into the last.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Year, Yeah, get his Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It's like like the funniest thing is like, Yo, the
Intercontinental title has always been like that one that like
everybody has been out of everybody's reach Shams because yeah, Shana,
I mean not Seaman's got to get Shamus has to
get that because that he needs that to complete his
Grand Slam.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
The Pure Grand He has the Pure Grand Slam. Yeah,
because he won the roy Rumble, Money in the Bank Elimination,
Chambers Ring, the Ring, the w W Championship, the US Championship,
the Tag Team all, all the variant of the tag
team belts. He's been there for the Big gold In,
the Big Golden World Away Championship, the Spinner, the newer
(17:14):
WW belt.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, he's he's been there for everything. But like I said,
I'm trying to think I'm trying to get a good
s man. It was a solid, solid, ending promo. John
was trying to leave. Cody's like no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, no, no, no, no, no no, bring your ass here.
You're gonna sign this contract.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Honestly, I like it what they're going with this. It's
a good it's a good little startup to a street fight.
I love the sipulation add to the match. It gives
like the feeling of a classic John Z in the
field a little bit, but it's not not necessarily It's
just like you're trying to give John a good rival.
You're trying to and somebody said it best. Somebody said
(17:57):
it best. I'm not the biggest fan of ww plunder matches.
Uh they they w W.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I don't even know when the last time w W
had an exciting I think the last exciting plunder match
close to it had to been maybe seeing Punk versus Drew.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's about it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
What do you okay when you mean by a plunder match,
you mean like.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Like three DQ's ladder match.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You haven't seen a good one from det B.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, like the last one that you would probably say
is the What's I think either Drew either you either
gotta go, it's either between. It's a tip. It's a
three way tie. Either Drew Drew versus Punk and hellas out, uh,
Cody Roads versus Kevin, Kevin Owens. I think ed Roy
(18:48):
Rumbo and Kevin Owens versus Sammy saying. And I felt
like that was even tame. I felt like you could
have did way more with that.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And and the.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Thing about the thing that holds w W back is
the blood policy. It's like, if y'all, if y'all were
allowed to just actually go him probably could do something
like U C A W.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You look at their plunder matches.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And you know what, I'll give it to them. They
have good plunder matches. But it's like everyone does not
need to bleed. Everyone does not need to bleed. Not
everyone needs to bleed, not every not I'm sorry to
say it, but like not every mid caartter. But you
do need blood. Every mid carter needs a blood no no, no.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But you do need blood and bluff hughes. Like if
you look at Triple A to the booker right right,
if you look at any of his best matches, he
has the crimson mass. He used it as his advantage.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
That was a different time. And then the sponsors you
look at you look at John Cena, some of John's
best matches and versus jbl I quip match blood crimson
blood match.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I know a lot of w w's best stuff comes
what made what made Austin.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
The blood.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Heart brat heart, bred heart, blood dropping down his face.
That made Austin like blood sometimes helped elevate stores. Now
I can't wait for the I know it'll probably never happened,
but the day they let women blade in the in
w W, in the FAED.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, no, no, I'm not going to call it the FED.
It's not the Fed. It's the fat. It's not the fat.
It's the big dubh Come boy, it's the big wye
when people go with the fat. Yes, it's not the fat.
It's not. It's like we're over here. It's not the Fed.
It's literally the saving grace is the hope. It's the
(20:40):
big w Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But uh, I'm trying to think, we go we want
to go, do you you I'm gonna let you stay
the ship a little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, so we're going order. We're going order. So t
NA was the week was this weekend first? And then
it'll go over.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Aw Okay, oh a second, before we do that, just
give a little a little love to collision. Shout out
to them.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And they're doing that.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I believe they're doing a I forgot how many dates.
I think seven dates in Chicago. Forget the name of
the venue at this current moment, but it's a beautiful venue.
Shout out to aw. The Hangman. The Hangman's story is progressing.
I think we're going to see most likely him in MJF.
(21:25):
He cut an amazing promot sort of aw dynamite I.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Love the Hangman promo. I felt like it was the
right promo. Now, the whole MJF storyline, I feel like
they need to hold off and wait. I feel like
you need to wait and let that mayor in nate
for a little bit. You have something better, Bruing behold
that one. Did you pay attention to Bobby Lasty's face?
Did you pay attention to how his face talk expressions
was when MJF was like, I'm the best in the world,
(21:53):
and I'm the greatest, and I'm this, that and the third. Yeah,
Bobby lastly, hands down is the main eventor no question.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah, but he was at that He's fifty, Bobby fifty
Now come on now, God damn it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But Bobby's a competitor, Bobby's a winner, Bobby's a champion
at the end of the day. And Bobby's not gonna
let somebody sit there in his face and say, ye,
he's better, he's the best in the world. When Bobby
knows that, damn well, in his right mind, he could
be the best in the world.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I like what they did with their women's division, that
they slowly bringing it up and you could tell who's
who's the focal point. Who's the real focal point of
their women's division? Mercedes, Tony Queen Almanada, Thecla, Willow christat Lander.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
The pop for win Widow Willow. I need Willow n
didn't go to win that Women's World Championship in Long Island.
Well the pop they would get for.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Her, Well, we gonna we don't have, we don't have
our of forever champion. Athena. Well she's gonna get that belt,
so trust to believe.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Honestly, I'm with I with it.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
We're coming for you, Tony Storm.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
But then again, I love Tony as champion and I
phenomenal character. I don't want Athena to get the Woman's
World champion.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You know what you're talking about? Ka, Yeah, we forgot
to mention Tony Storm.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Tony Storm keeping k fab is at these press conferences.
Her line, her seriousness of saying the most wildest stuff
ever is hilarious. From the to my mother, fuck you,
I'm just like, what does she do? She wasn't even here,
she was home watching the Straight before. You know. I
feel bad for what Juice Robinson deals with at home,
(23:38):
Joe Kny.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
But now we can get to the TNA show as
you as we me and coryn alluded to. We were
both present at this show at.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Ubs beautiful seats.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
This is TNA's largest gate and oh, I want to say,
oh twelve years in twelve years are more because they
they promoted as this is this was their biggest gate ever.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Seven hundred and ninety six thousand people.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It was. It was a nice it was. It was
a nice crowd. I seen a lot of people. I've
seen a lot of Puerto Rican flags, a lot of botiquas.
They was ready for Mike sy and Tanda to get
that way. We're gonna get to that. But you know,
let's go a little bit down the card because because
me personally, I would just give my overall opinion on
(24:29):
the show just real quickly. You can give yours and
then we can run it down. My overall opinion on
the show was.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Good war. I mean, I can't even say good work.
It was. It was all case show, but.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
A lot of dumb decisions, a lot of dumb dumb, dumb,
dumb dumb decisions like like so many to be so
many to so many that it's hard to explain yours.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
From my opinion, I loved the show. I loved what
we sitting at. We were sitting right there by Gorilla.
We were seeing wrestlers come out through the backside, just
coming to watch the matches. I saw a bunch of
restaurant Matt Hardy before he even came out home, like
a crazy tan. It was just a great position. It
was a great show. I like when we get into
the decisions. We had kind of mixed opinions about the
decision making, and I kind of seen my bi but
(25:21):
my bias opinion about certain things. But I all together,
I love the show. I got to relive some of
my greatest moments from my childhood, like seeing the Mooses
classic og entrance that I thought I would never see
in my life. I got to live through with Enzo
Morey's entrance. I always wanted to live through Joe Hendry's.
It's just certain things that you want to be there
for and your in person, and then we finally get
(25:42):
to do It's like god damn, because we.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Know you was waving your hand from.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh, I have all the videos.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
What I'm trying to think, Well, it was the ill
Konic ill.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Ill inspirations versus the asked by elegance, and I was like,
and if I'm being honest with you, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm trying to remember who Shorty was. That was her
tag team.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
She was tiny, she was short. I was like, I
was like, I was shocked at her. I was shocked
at her small.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
She looked like she was. I looked her up. She's like,
I don't know for her name for eleven for eleven
damn that like she was on the borderline. She's on
the borderline. She's a fairy, a short fairy. But we
love her though she's not.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It was I love what they're doing blow as.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I love what they're doing what ash right now. They're
giving her a good storyline. She's tender.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Did you see the funk up that they did? Yes,
y'all didn't even peep until somebody told me.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I'm like, they fucked up, yes, Like they had like
the okay, we're ready, I see it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm like, you can't be.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Serious, you know, I didn't even peep.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
So they're sitting there and they're literally like telling them, okay,
get ready, get ready, all right, man action, and then
they get in the cares. I'm like, literally, you're not
dead ass, I'm like, are you serious. I'm like, yo,
I was.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I probably was focusing on in the ring work, but
I mean like focusing around the crowd and stuff, looking
to see if I can see anybody, because they did
have a couple of people shout the West Side. You
know he was in the building, you know, support and
for Rope because that was the next match. Yes, okay,
I'm trying to remember it, right, Steve Macklin yep. Man
(27:37):
Swanner yep.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Trying to remember Jake Jake Something, Oh Jake Something versus
and Joe Real one, En Zoe roll In Real one,
uh Xilo two and.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Uh Josh bick Up, Big Josh Bishops the one that
hit the dude that looked like Psycho said, and he
looked we saw him before the match was happening, and
I'm looking at him warm up and I'm just like,
he is built like Psycho said and.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Shout shout out to shout out to fourth Rope. You know,
they doing anything, They doing anything. But my problem with
this match was I feel like this could have been
on a as much as Steve Macklin has been doing
to put him on a pre show match, It's kind
of wild. I felt as though you should have foud
you should you should have tried to find some way
to put him on the main card.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I think it's because of the fact that this is
a new promotion. They're still trying to work something out
and work something small, and then they're still trying to
make a name. They don't want to put it on
a pay per view yet, and they want to wait
and see how attraction does through a small just like
maybe a pre show in a free gate. I think
that was the idea to it, and I feel like
now they're gonna like how successful was because just off
(28:44):
of that alone, Like I posted a zilofa too clip
that that that had literally five almost six k views
because of the fact that Zillafa two is so impressive
and fascinating to see.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
On tip top. Yeah, oh I gotta I got post
on tits. I canna get like you.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Literally, do you get paid off these views? Depends on
how much use if you get. The more you get,
the more like they paid. Question, what's the most sup
we got paid from to TikTok?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Then I'm only I'm the most iver got like about
one hundred dollars. That's because I went hard that whole month.
But like, I don't go crazy on TikTok because TikTok
is like the small bread.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's like, how do they pay you? Do they see
you like a check or something?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
No, almost call it PayPal up in my PayPal account,
dirct deposit and then every as soon as it hits
fifty dollars more and then gets that day, sends my
account transferred to my main account.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Now that's what's up. That's that's that's solid. But get
more into the to get more into this car though.
The opening match, well who's opening metro? It was Ali
versus Alexander.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Okay, they they they had a they had a Okay,
if I had to rank it, they had a solid
three point seventy five.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
They tried to lift that old school take over with
magic too old Live live Magic.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I respect, I respect the hustle.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
The cruise away classic. I felt like they reminded me
and I had to go back and look it up.
This day, they took parts of their their two old
fire their other matches. This is like a repliclub. Their
old matches were a little bit of their new resumes
of move sets, and I feel like this was an
evolution of these two and arrival Because me personally, I
(30:26):
don't like Cetric Alexander. If you know me, I call
him the two of five live guy. I don't like him.
I never liked them. It's nothing personal. I just don't
like him. I just never liked him in the hurt business.
I just felt like he was the bump guy. He
was just there just to be there. It's like you're
a lackey, Like you'll never be world champion. It'll just
be a mid carter. You suck. But nothing wrong with him.
But how I thought about this match, I felt like
(30:48):
this was a great opener. It's a great match to
wipe up the crowd with so many near faults.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Uh, okay, the what's his finish shit move?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
The lumbar check.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
The lumbar check on Tasha was solid but wild. How
you have all those people with you and when you
do a dive of tope, see though nobody caught your ass, Sally,
you did an undertake, You did an undertake of wrestle Mania.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You almost you almost fucked yourself up.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Man, your career. Huh you almost tended your career. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I was like it was like we gotta play its smart.
I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I didn't like the all that interference and all that
ship that muck that match up.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I should have just been a clean match.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, And I feel like now this is gonna lead
to them having a cleaner match down the line as
either like what Sacrifice or Slam or Slam not Sam
vers here Bound for Glory in October probably either that
or they're going to be ending up seeing each other
in a Bound for Glory tournament. If they're they should
doing the Bound for Gold tournament, right, I'm not too
sure they should still do it. If they if they're
really trying to go back to the old ways, they
should bring back the Ultimate X Match. They should bring
(31:50):
back the Bound for Glory series. They should really and
maybe if they really want to do it, but back
the eight Side ring, bring back the eight Side. If
they really want to go back to their glory days
and bring back something special and do something special, bring
back the eight side and really get that thing meant
for the wrestlers that they can make it safe in
the work on. I think the eight side right now
(32:11):
in this generation can do wonders and bring them views.
And I think after what Bischoff said on the podcast,
he is right. If Tina gets a good TV deal
on like a premier network, say a FX or somewhere
that you can see that you know what you can get.
It's not like a dead end channel. They're going to
(32:31):
take over at number two and surpass AW. That's why
I think who you said who DNA can do what
surpassed and the ae W if they get a good
TV deal. No, no, if you you you don't think so.
Right now, with the momentum, the momentum they have the WWE,
(32:51):
the fact that they're getting pushed and they're getting the
shove and they're getting the love and the push from
the big w WE.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Go, So we're gonna we're gonna talk more about this car.
But don't don't say no stupid ship. Now, come on now.
The a W is supplanted as the second best wrestling
company in the United States.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yes, and I get that.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And if we're talking about in ring work, they might
be number one, they might be number one ng ring work.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
It's a debate. It's a debate about number one. It's
I'm like, okay, other than the ospray okay, osprey Omega Okada, swerve.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Swerve you did hangman?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
The Young Bucks the arguably one of the greatest tag teams.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
All all behind, water down watered down boys.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
From what they're about to win. I bet you this.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
They're probably going to tack Team Championships.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
No no, no, no, no no, they're not going to watch they
win Tag Team of the Year in the.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Melting them because Melzer loves them, because they didn't win.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
It last year. No no, no they did. I think they
did it. I'm not too sure if they did. I
know Fraxim was like color close.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Like I said, at the end of the day. The
Cucamonga kids, they they they they watered down wash.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
My boy, you studying Eric Mitchell yesterday?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Was you know? I was watching Jim Cornett. I'm an
average Jim Cornett fan. Oh Courtney drive Through.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Oh Runner, they they're gonna honk T. They're gonna honk T.
Shown now they're oh no.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
No no. I still have my boys depending like I
still watch a w still have my different pains in him.
But it's like we can I can see the eye
with Jim Cornell certain things, and it's like with the
Young But the Bucks, they they were good they were great.
They try to be innovate with their characters. But the
EVP thing got it died out a while ago, and
I feel.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Like but but it's like you said, the EVP thing
died a long time ago. Yes, but to get try
to finish up with teen because because we're gonna have
a short show today to get a lot of things happen.
We're gonna have a short show today. But I'm trying
to think of some of the other matches that happened.
We might not go on older, but I'm just going
off the matches off the top of my head. I'm
(35:14):
just go Marsha versus j C, good match, wrong winner.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I agree with you. I agree with you completely, But
I think this is leading to something bigger and.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
What could be that was your biggest show, that was
your big one.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I think this is going to Jordan Grace. I think
either Blake Monroe or Okay, but then okay, so j C.
If Jordan Grace wins, Blake Moron wins.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
The title right right right boom, that's still a WWE
person holding your title. Okay, how do you get How
does TNA get this? How does teen get the title back?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Look? Their best bet is ash She's a number one contender.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
You don't feel like this, like they look like they
bitching them a little bit.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You ain't think this was gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I mean, come on, like it's a partnership. Like this
look like a partnership.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
They're probably gonna like somebody gonna probably get like like
like like the North American somebody might get a North
American Championship match and get a belt. They might give
it a son like card might get a belt.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
No, no, I don't want to see Cardona.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Cardona's gonna probably go to NXT. He probably match Cardona.
And please stay the indie god that you are sellout
or or or or or you know somebody system because
I don't know they're they're eyeing Moose.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
You gotta really think.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
About it that they're not Iron Moose. I'm gonna tell
you right now. Okay, so we already said it. Uh
j C J One shout to jay Cy James was
having a phenomenal year. Yeah, you said they're eyeing somebody.
I know who they're areing.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Oh oh, they said one person there to do one job,
a recruiting job, a recruiting job.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
He was like this, he he j.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Get that kid from Radford.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
You go to go the TNA, They're probably gonna ask
you to do a match. No, we're not doing that ship.
We're not giving him a match. Yeah, what it needs
to do is when you go out there to this
kid who's going win the six division title, slipping that
contract in the back and go slip them in that car. Well,
we're gonna get They're gonna have Javan and Lena bad Bet,
(37:32):
the young guys of n XT WASH.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I can tell you who they probably scouted. They probably
might want Masha, but then because but they got Jake,
they got Jordan's so they don't really need nobody else.
They probably might get Mike because his contract.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Is up and I love that for him. In a
couple of months, they might get Mike.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
They might they honestly might get Joe Hendry just because us,
just because just because you know they they kind of
fucked them up over a lot of times. So it's like, yeah,
we're gonna give you something, might give you a little contract.
You're gonna hold out NXC. You're not gonna be on
that main roster. Just let you know there's certain niggas
that you will not see on the main roster. I'm sorry.
(38:17):
Joe Henry might be one of them. And UH, Tony D'Angel.
Tony D'Angelo will probably never make it to the main roster.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, there's a couple. There's a couple. There's a couple
of dudes.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
In the UH on the NXC roster that I'll never
see the main roster.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Honestly, my whole thing about the whole TNA and that'll
be deal. I think it was part of the fact
that Naomi had pushed us all and she was the
reason why everybody is connected. Now, She's the main reason.
That's number one, thank you, that's you just may have
a main character. She was the reason why if you
(38:54):
don't think about it, der it be focused on TNA
and pay attention to TNA because she was there, Okay.
And then and then that opened their eyes to Jordan
Grace because that matter.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Be chain them too, Jordan has always been solid, you know,
opened her eyes, you know, opened up people eyes towards
Jordan's getting in the royal rumble. Scott the Moore negotiated
her getting into the rumble, and I was like, all right,
cool bet cool beans. Because they've seen what a W
was doing as far as the forbidden door and everything
like that. W W want to hop on that train.
So it's like, Okay, we have a we have a portal.
(39:26):
We have a forbidden portal.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Don't don't do that.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Cool we have a forbidden portal.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
There's no such fucking thing as the forbidden portal.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
We have a portal. We know y'all just have partnerships.
We don't have We don't have doors, we have portals.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
W W just has partnerships, and it's like.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
We have portals and t k oh money t.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
K oh money. Due niggas is broke.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
You ain't noticed, no, Yeah, program broke. They've been seeing
the stage developments.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah they broke. Where's the piral? At what happened to?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
We take a bunch of cut But next match, I
believe it was the kid from Bradford versus Moose.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Shout out, okay the match, shout out to Moose for
putting over Leon Slater.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I still think he has one.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
He has one of the best, one of the best
finishers in wrestling. That Swanton four fifty is crazy as how.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I love the entrances and just the fact that Moose
with the throne.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Leon Leon Slater with the with the with the with
the purple silk. It's with the purple silky. I love
the or like like the vibe. It gives an arena
like the lighting. It's so if if you want to
use the live. He ain't getting no pop, no no pop.
Nobody as wrong. You know, he got no pop.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
But then as soon as you heard the fucking Moose sentrance,
Moose Moose move.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
We love Moose, Moose. Damn.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
I'm like Moose, but I'm trying to get through this move.
I'm trying to We're trying to get him through this.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
AJ Styles came out after the match.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
AJ Styles with this old thing, get ready to fly.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I am Mayam and.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
He just basically gave Leon Slayer his flowers and he
got the funk up out of it.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
He's like, he's like, everybody said, what more match?
Speaker 1 (41:17):
She said, wait, hold on, hold on, I'll come back
to that, and never got back to it. He's like,
I'm out, I'm out, I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Let's go rapid.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I'm waiting for trick. We hopping on their first jet
because that's where all they went. They went to Houston
next night.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
I'm trying to think, what else, what else?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
What else?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
The ladder batch A J.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Francis was the m v P of that ladder, matching
the moon doing the moon soaw and then almost fucking
he killed No, no, he didn't kill his legs. He
almost destroyed his whole he kids his whole reproduction system.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
I was like, why the funk would you take that
bump like that?
Speaker 1 (41:53):
You jumped.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
I can understand if you went like shoulder shoulder first,
shoulder inside, body first, my son with legs first, and said,
I'll risk.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
It for the people for when any contexts never seen
this or just that, never look it up, look it
up and see it for yourself after I explain this.
But AJ Francis on typical bump, but wrestler would lean
back for first into the ladder and you would fall
into a ladder. AJ Francis, being the dumb ass he is,
jumps into the ladder and it goes nuts first into
the ladder steps. So that means his nuts got crushed
(42:25):
into the steps as the impact was coming from down,
so he might have been bleeding internally or all over
the floor.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
But then you have okay, the Hardy's won, then you
have Bubba Bubba come out and he's proposing was it
a tables match? Nope, it's just one last okay, one
last match between the Dudleys versus the Hardys. And obviously
you've seen that Christian and Edge are doing. I mean,
Christian and Cope are doing the thing in aw. But
(42:55):
I'm like, who asks for this shit? In twenty twenty
five and Big twenty twenty five, No, by.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Romer around the block is a certain somebody's contract is
up in October? But but knowing Tony, he might add
that injury time back.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Oh Edges, No, he got he had two three years left.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
No, his contract is up in October.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
I don't know shore about that.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yep, it is already already the research on that one,
I got. I gotta tell you, because his contracts, they
were staying his contract up at the end of October.
They might add him. They might add injury time back
to him. But if he's a free agent and they
let and Tony doesn't let, if nobody.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry to tell you this, but uh,
nobody trys to the Big Coping twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
The people in a w actively believe he's what made
the Death Riders storyline horrible. Okay, people in a w
LAMB don't talk about no no, because look, look look
at it like this. Once Moxley started fucking with the
stop fucking with coping him, his ship got better for
some reason. His storyline got better because Rustling got better.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
No, I'm just saying like this, I might not want
Edge over there, but we want the Edge for multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
We do not want Edge versus Sena Edge, Edge versus
Sena Edge. Just go home, Edge versus Sena one last time.
Go home Seena's greatest rival. If you're gonna do a
scene retirement, so you gotta give all his rivals. Just
go home.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
You're too old for this ship.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
You know he's doing. But he's just not in the
right company right now. Okay.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
The only thing I would mention about the Tesla Blanche
match was Indy. Indy hot Well is somewhat improving.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Indy is a mid carter that's soon to get pushed
into the main events scene. I feel like one more good.
She's not that good though, She's really not that good,
not that good. I like Indy, She's she's below average
phenomenal performance in Tesla Blanchet with the we.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
To know, we are not doing we are not doing
this Tesla blanche propaganda on here. No, not this deep state,
this deep state conspiracy theory. All right, she's a good wrestler.
I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
She's a good she's a good wrestler. She's a britt
she's a decent looking lady. She can work the mic.
I just think she is. She is she needs to
be with a certain somebody.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
What was the crowd saying she's a racist? Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
I was not chatting with them. I was not. I
was saying, let's go, let's go, Tessa. I was saying,
I stand with you. I was trying to get it
started backing up. I was trying to get it started
back up. Once it started dying down, I was like,
wake that's up.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I was.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
I said, I stand with Tessa talking up.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
All I know is when all I know is that
the fact that she I'm trying to remember the fact
that she is suspended. Please Sean hb K throw a
lot of that women in n X T Oh my god,
don't you allow that woman.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I wouldn't I don't want her to. I just thought
about what I want her to be at and it's
kind of kind of messages up what we have going on.
Triple H no triple A, no Triple H. Pick up
the phone. I need you, I need I need you
to fix this storyline. Alexa is not Charlotte's partner. We
don't need Charlotte to have Alexa. We need Tesla and
Charlotte together. That is feeding families. I would love it.
(46:23):
I would love Tesla and Charlotte at tag Team. You
understand how much heat that's getting.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Is this man? Is this man no crack that he's
so perfect? I don't want Tesla anywhere near the war
wrestling entertainment.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
She's gonna end up there. She's gonna end up there.
She's gonna end up. The day she wants up there,
I will text you and smile on my face is
the day I'm posting the all eleage graphic bomb my
name and I'm like.

you can't call it the FED. That means you're not
even a.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Real fan, a fan. I've been watching it longer than you.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
You can't say you you call it the FED. It's
like you're turning on the people at that that said,
I brought you to the dance.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
It was the Federation. At one point it was literally
in an a, it's not we caught the big dub.
Now it's not.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
It's the big dub.

Everybody was working with him. He had he had his

my boy Trick Williams with the guy with the black
choir trick.

Huh always missing out there.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Uh yo, shout out to the shout out to the
to the booker t inspired gig Blacks.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
No. So, in my opinion, this match, great match, wrong
decision on the winner. Great ending, the ending. I kind
of predicted the ending towards the end, and I felt
like that it was gonna be it was gonna be
trick faking an injury. But at the same time, I
felt like that it wasn't gonna be like that. I thought,
(48:36):
Mike Santana has got the win. It's hometown.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
Yeah, But like I said to me, the ending was
bullsh The ending was bullshit, and I don't like how.
I don't like how it ended per se because I felt,
like I said, I felt like Tena is getting bitched
in this relationship.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Ah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
So, like I said, so, this was just a quick
wrap up of the weekend events for us. We would
