(00:01):
Welcome everybody. This is your SmackDownreview. As always, I am Robert
with a WWE ringside podcast. Youcan find us on Twitter at podcast Underscored
WWE. With that being said,let's jump right into it. The show
(00:24):
opened with Roman reigns and Solo Sakoawith Paul Hayman coming out. I am
going to read this. This isfrom Cage Side Seats dot com. I
don't want to miss anything. Thiswas actually a really good segment. I
thought that it it I don't know. The way it ended really had me
(00:52):
hooked. But so it opens upwith Roman coming out and the crowd I
believe with chanting you suck. Ibelieve that they were chanting. And Roman
says that's not how he opened theshow South Carolina, and he demands to
acknowledge him. We had Ko andSammy Zane that come out, and Roman
(01:21):
says that he was going to invitethem out anyway. They can acknowledge him,
and they can drop their titles offand they can see themselves out.
Those are the two things that theycan do that he was going to have
them do. We get Sammy talking. I'm just gonna kind of jump in
(01:48):
here a little bit Sammy talking toRoman about how everyone's told Roman that,
you know, he's the best.He's been the best the whole life,
his whole life, He's gone everythinghe's ever wanted. But at Nina Champions,
(02:09):
he's not going to get the tagtitles. He's not as good as
they are, and for that matter, he's not as good as the USO's.
Roman starts to kind of sputter somethings out, and then the USO's
attack from behind, and Roman getspissed. The usso's takeout Ko and Sammy
(02:35):
Zane, and then Roman yells atJimmy basically because he went against the plan.
Roman wasn't happy. He was veryvery pissed. He storms off by
himself up the RAM and we goto commercial break. Oh wait, also,
before I went to commercial break,when Roman turned around, his shoulder
(02:57):
bumped into Solo the same way Sammykind of bumped Roman and they kind of
the cold shoulder bump or whatever.Roman looked flustered and he walked off and
Solo just kind of stood there insideitem. We get back from the commercial
(03:21):
break and Roman just starts kind ofdigging into the USOS talking about how you
know, he gave a good portionof his life to the flat fool Sam
Zane, and he had more tosay. He wasn't finished yet, he
(03:42):
had more to tell him, andthe USOS interrupted him. They went against
the plan. They've always stuck tothe plan. That's why they're in the
promise and that's why they're at wherethey are. And the USOS went against
the plan again and Roman had whereto say, and again Roman is pissed.
This segment. I really really lovedit. I find it interesting that
(04:15):
Roman keeps going after Jimmy because Ifeel like it should be Jay. However,
Jake could stand up for his brother, and that's how we get Roman
and Jay because he's tired of seeingJimmy and get picked on by Roman and
(04:38):
then just taking it. And that'sprobably how it's probably gonna go. But
that's just how I would think overall. I don't know do I think Roman
(04:59):
wins the Idols if if I hadto give you an answer today after this
SmackDown, I don't. I thinkthat I'm still sticking with what I've been
saying. The USOS end up costingRoman at NAT Champions, furthering that dissension,
(05:26):
and then we get the rumored matchat the next pay per view Money
in the Bank USO's versus Roman andSolo. I do think that's where we
go. And then from there possiblydo we go to J versus Roman at
SummerSlam? Who knows. I coulddefinitely see that because then after SummerSlam,
(05:54):
after Jay, you then could havea J for a few months, have
Lastly for a few months, andthen we're back in WrestleMania season and you
gonna have some big name come backlike The Rock or somebody, and this
very well could go to WrestleMania.Now. Definitely see the path. Definitely
(06:18):
see the path for Roman. Butmoving on, I'm not even gonna talk
about the Pretty Deadly vineet because thatwas just maybe gonna throw up. We
(06:40):
get the brawling brutes Pete or let'sgo Butch and Rich Holland versus Pretty Deadly
Elton Prince and Kit Wilson. Um. We did have Shamus on commentary.
Um. Basically what happened in thismatch was it was ninety five percent brawling
(07:13):
brutes dominating and at the very endthere was some distraction Pin and pretty Deadly
got the wind. All right,Now, I don't have much talent on
this match. I really feel likethe brawling Brute should have won. And
I get we need to elevate thesenew NXT people, but I don't see
(07:39):
them going anywhere. To me,they aren't going to go anywhere anywhere but
to the unemployment line I mean tome, to me, pretty deadly was
pretty fucking awful. I do notlike they're getting their characters. Absolutely hate
(08:05):
them. With that being said,in the ring, they're not that all
that bad. In the ring,they're not that bad, but their characters,
to me, they just they aren'tmy cup of tea. And that's
okay. They might be yours,but they're not mine. They really,
(08:33):
I don't have anything else to stayon the match because it every NCC person
who has a match is most likelygoing to get the win in these next
week ers. You still because theywanted to showcase them and not start them
(08:54):
off with a loss, already startthem in a hole. Um. Um.
But moving forward, Um, wedid have a Zelina Vega promo or
interview backstage, I'm want to skipover that. Um. Moving toward to
(09:16):
the match, we had Oscar andOscar versus Zelena Vega. Um. Oscar
did come out really hot. Um, she was attacking Vega pretty good.
Um, let's see, we hadZelena Vega tried hitting the six one nine,
(09:41):
I believe a few times. Um, she did finally get it and
then hit um. I believe itwas some sort of a meteora um for
a close close two account. Um. But in the end, Oscar does
end up winning. I believe shewon with a scissored armbard Oscar lock something
(10:03):
to that effect. But we didget Oscar with the win. Bianca Belair
did come out to save Zelena Vegaas Oscar would not let loose of her
submission. Um, Oscar, Oscar, oscy fuck. Oscar tried to spit
(10:30):
the mist again in Bellair's face andjust barely got an honor. So it
just kind of grazed her. Um. So that is how that segment ended,
and we did get it official tonight. I believe it was official as
(10:50):
of tonight. Oscar versus Bianca Belairat Night of Champions for they Raw Women
Championship. Even though both these womenare on SmackDown. Why the fuck are
they going for the Rocks title?Who the fuck knows? We don't know.
Theycil didn't fucking address it tonight,But I digress. I ranted enough
(11:15):
about that situation on my podcast lastnight, The Ringside Extra. You can
check it out. It is inthe channel. We do have a list
of episodes there and you can checkthat. On one out. We come
back from commercial break and we aregetting our first look at Grayson Waller and
(11:39):
his talk show, The Grayson WallerEffect. He did have AJ Styles on
it. He was kind of butteringup AJ. You know, first ballot,
Hall of Famer and all that.AJ talks about being out for so
long, a long time in hiscareer. Um, I mean Grayson Waller
(12:05):
then says that at Night Champions,we're gonna hear the and New World Haveweight
Champion seth rawlins and then they goface to face and ended. I mean,
it was an okay segment. Theydo have history AJ and Waller on
(12:26):
NXT here recently. With that beingsaid, I want to see Waller in
the match. I don't want tosee him in a talk show. I
think it's a bad start because allthese other brestlers are getting started out with
a with a match, They're goingto show what they got, and he's
(12:50):
starting off the talk show. Helike them is and I want to like
them is I think Waller's gonna begreat, but this is the first first
time we're seeing him. I'm notjumping the gun on anything, anything,
anything anything. They just wanted toget him out there. This is part
of his gimmick. Let's showcase it. There's no match for him this week,
(13:13):
Let's showcase it. We got hintedat an AJ versus Waller match here
on the main roster after probably NINAChampions. I don't see happening before Night
Champions with while they're being a newNXT person, he'd be having to take
(13:35):
that loss with AJ Glampins rawlins atNight Champions. You can't have him take
a loss before that Champions. Soit's gonna have to be after Night Champions.
If they do before Night Champions,there's gonna be some fluke finish them
DQ. No one's gonna win.It's not gonna be a straight up win
(13:58):
at least. So with that beingsaid, I am going to move on
to the next segment, which wasso I'm moving forward. We got an
LWO backstage. They were kind oftalking to each other. I'm gonna skip
(14:18):
over that. You know this theHulu. This is the Hulu version of
a podcasting. I'm not going totalk about the unnecessary too much. We
get the Street Poppets who come out, go to commercial, come back from
commercial, and we get La Knightwho comes out and says when he came
(14:39):
to a SmackDown or whatever, whenhe started, he was going to go
after all the gold that includes taketeam titles, and the Street Poppets came
on his show on his territory andhe says, you know, I can
beat these guys with anybody, Sohe picked Rick Boogs and with that being
(15:01):
said, Rack Boogs came out verytheatrical. UM. The match started and
during the match we had Rick Boogswas like a military press I think it
(15:22):
was um one montest Ford and thenhe curled Angelo Dawkins. I believe it
was very impressive, very strength.I mean, that's that's quite the amount
of strength. Um. But inthe end, in the end we do
(15:45):
get Forward who pins Rick Boogs,and after the match we get La Knight
who hit the BFT on Rick Boogsand the leaves him lying in the middle
of the ring. And this tome, I could have waged way done
(16:15):
without I you put together a makeshifttag team in Boogs and Night and they
lose. I don't know how longthe match was. I didn't look it
(16:38):
up. If I had to guessoff of memory, I had to summer
around probably the four minute mark.I just for them to lose and La
Night all right, Eddie turn onBoogs. So there's a few. There's
(17:07):
your story. I guess we gotNight versus Booze going forward. I'm sure,
but I don't feel like they needto go this route. I don't
understand what this segment was about,but we got it, and I'm glad
(17:29):
the Street Provins didn't lose to amakeshift tag team that's just going to break
up this easily. So with that, I don't know exactly where they're going
with La Night. I'm hoping they'restill pushing him. I'm hoping he ends
(17:55):
up getting the winds over Boogs,but I don't know. They feel like
every time they're gonna push La Knight, they end up spinning his tires instead,
and he doesn't go anywhere. Hemight go backwards. I mean,
(18:15):
it's interesting. La Knight is aninteresting one because he should be being pushed
so much harder. He's such agood fucking talent. He should should be
being pushed, but it just seemslike he's stuck in the mud. He's
just kind of spinning his wheels andnot going anywhere. I mean, the
(18:38):
crowd and the fans absolutely love him. The crowd is behind him one hundred
percent, but for whatever reason,Creative just isn't pushing him the way they
should be. And I hope that'schanging. Hopefully he starts picking up wins.
Maybe La Knight or this big brickBoogs feud is a start of something.
(19:03):
Um, I guess. Only timeI guess will tell on where exactly
they're going to be going with withLa Night mum. So going forward and
leant to skip over the can andcrimes part I want to give over the
(19:26):
USO's backstage part. Um, wedo get carrying Cross who throws out the
the tarot cards um, and hisnext victim, you could say, is
(19:48):
Aj Styles. He's gonna take hisjustice. Um I ate, I don't.
He was gonna take Knocking Mark mI'm sorry, Yeah, he's gonna
take Knockamore's honor. But I believeKnockamore ended up beating him in the match,
(20:14):
and I kind of think Aj wouldend up beating Cross as well.
So I don't. I don't.They are crosses going nowhere right now?
Mm hmmm. Moving forward, AlbaFire and Isla don versus. Um,
(20:41):
let's see Valentina. I'm gonna gettheir names wrong. Fro Furrows and Ye
slut Leon have enhancement talents. Itwas a squash match, not we're gonna
fucking talk about it. Waste offucking time. I don't know who is
(21:04):
who Alba Fire and Eiland don't.I don't figure that out yet. I
didn't watch NXT, so it's peopleare a lot more new. Um.
I don't know who is who?But where the red hat is? She's
hot? Just saying um. Movingforward, we get Raquel r week as
(21:26):
backstage. Um, we got thenews live. Morgan is going to be
out for an extended amount of timedue to injury sustained during their match against
(21:47):
Damage Control, which means the women'stag team titles have to be relinquished and
we're going to be getting a fourway match. Um. I didn't great
(22:07):
podcasting, right, I didn't writeit down when they were gonna have the
match. I don't remember. Um, but we're going to get um EO
Sky and the Code or EO Skyand Bailey versus Chelsea Greene and Sonya Deville
(22:33):
versus where Cala Rodriguez and opponent ofher choice or a team man of her
choice and the fourth team as RhondaRossi and Shana Basler Um. My prediction
for Rodriguez's partner is probably gonna beShotsy, That'd be my guess. But
(23:06):
here's my issue. Live and Raquelboth got drafted to Raw, shaans he
got drafted to SmackDown. They're onseparate shows, so why are they partners?
(23:27):
But also if they had to relinquishthe titles, they no longer have
the titles on them, which meansRaquel needs to be on Raw and she
should not have been on this SmackDown. She didn't even she did not have
the belt on her. She nolonger has the titles, which means she
(23:52):
is a Raw superstar, so sheneeds to get her ass off SmackDown and
go back over to Raw because thatthere's no reason to have Ron SmackDown.
They're just there. Just isn't um. But with that being said, I
(24:14):
really hope the Live morgan Um whereveris going on, whether it's it is
storyline or whether it's real. Ihope she gets better. If it's real,
if it's storyline, all right,whatever. We had another fatal for
women's title match again. Um,but but but but Austin Theory. Um
(24:49):
he comes out, and so Theorybecause he comes out and he starts talking,
saying about how last week he wasgaged up on by two former champions
(25:18):
and lastly and Shamous he expected itfrom last week because last seems to follow
him. Ever, he goes he'sjealous of Theory, but Shamus doesn't understand
they have something comment all this otherstuff. Basically, it pissed off Shamous.
(25:45):
M Shamus comes out, he grabsthe microphone and he's gonna talk.
Theory says, oh, you havesomething that you're gonna say, and then
bam, we get a broad kickout of nowhere from Shamous lays out Theory
and Shamous ladies, it's just micDrop drops the microphone, doesn't say a
(26:06):
word and walks back off. Um. And that's how that segment ended.
And we did to get word thatnext week on SmackDown, we're going to
get Shamous versus Austin Theory for theUS Championship. Um. So this segment,
(26:33):
I I really enjoyed, but Ican't say I'm surprised. It is,
after all, Austin theory. Somoving forward, Um, I think
theory is gonna win. Um that'sthat mmmmm mmmm So Boozer rastling Um he
(27:14):
wants to be credited only so sorrywas saying his name um with hashtag b
we Um did say that at NINAChampions, somebody would be dropping their titles
and it would anger a lot offans, but it would better their career.
(27:38):
Could this be theory? Maybe it'snot just supposed to happen NAT Champions,
but it got changed to the Fridaybefore. I don't think I would
anger a lot of fans though,So maybe that's not who it is mare
it is Bellair. But anyway,I'm gonna ain't going down that rabbit hole.
I'm sorry I did a little bitanyway, So moving forward, Um,
(28:04):
we get another bloodline at USO's withPaul Haymond talking, I'm gonna that
we move up to the main eventthe l WO Ray Mysterio and Santos Escobar
versus the USO's Jimmy and Jay Usso. Um, so this match ended,
(28:36):
it ended, came say we gotSantos Escobar delivering a diving splash onto Jimmy
USSO and that's how the LWO getsthe w and Jimmy takes the pinfall.
(28:56):
Jimmy takes the fall again. Ithought this match had a lot of really
great spots. Um. I justand I watching the USO's fall. It's
it's crazy to me because they've beenhot for so long, and I really,
(29:23):
I really think they could be myfavorite tag team, um, even
before the whole bloodline thing. Um, ever since I started rewatching wrestling back
in twenty nineteen. Now, eversince I first saw the Usos, They've
(29:44):
always been one of my favorites.UM, But it just feels like they
can't do right. Jimmy can't doright to save his life, and he's
gonna get his ass whooped very well. Could happen at nine of Champions And
(30:11):
then do Ko and Sammy come inand help? Is it one of those
things where the Ustos come in andtry and stop Ko or try and help
Roman ended up costing Roman. Instead, Solo eats the pen like a roll
(30:36):
up, Solo stands up, laysone of them out. The Ustos come
in the ring and then Roman justlays them balls out and then we get
Simoan Spike. I don't know,maybe till night Champions goes, but it's
(31:04):
just crazy to see them keep eatingthese losses. The usosum but so that
really that was SmackDown wasn't super detailedon their reviews, but you did get
your wins and losses and a littlebit of a pointers here and there.
(31:29):
Um. I mean, it isalmost two am here where I'm at,
so I do kind of want toget to bed, so to keep it
kind of a brief episode, hopefully, I'm just watching the news seeing what
I got coming in. I hopefullyI can drop an extra rings had extra
(31:52):
the next day or two hopefully,and then we got raw here on Monday.
So I hope you all have agood one. You can find me
again on Twitter at podcast Underscore,WWE and Real Quick for Money in the
(32:13):
Bank, so not nine Champions butMoney in the Bank the pay per view
in the beginning of July. Weare gonna have a co host for our
preview and prediction show, quite possiblya review show. I don't always do
(32:37):
review shows of PL's, it's justthe timing doesn't quite work for me.
But if I can get one formy money in the bank. I damn
well might have another co host withthat one as well, probably the same
(32:59):
person, but more details on thatto come. With that being said,
this was your SmackDown review. Iam your host, Robert with a WW
Ringside podcast. Hope you'll have agood night peace,
Welcome everybody. This is your SmackDownreview. As always, I am Robert

pretty fucking awful. I do notlike they're getting their characters. Absolutely hate

(13:35):
that loss with AJ Glampins rawlins atNight Champions. You can't have him take
a loss before that Champions. Soit's gonna have to be after Night Champions.
If they do before Night Champions,there's gonna be some fluke finish them
DQ. No one's gonna win.It's not gonna be a straight up win
(13:58):
at least. So with that beingsaid, I am going to move on
to the next segment, which wasso I'm moving forward. We got an
LWO backstage. They were kind oftalking to each other. I'm gonna skip
(14:18):
over that. You know this theHulu. This is the Hulu version of
a podcasting. I'm not going totalk about the unnecessary too much. We
get the Street Poppets who come out, go to commercial, come back from
commercial, and we get La Knightwho comes out and says when he came
(14:39):
to a SmackDown or whatever, whenhe started, he was going to go
after all the gold that includes taketeam titles, and the Street Poppets came
on his show on his territory andhe says, you know, I can
beat these guys with anybody, Sohe picked Rick Boogs and with that being
(15:01):
said, Rack Boogs came out verytheatrical. UM. The match started and
during the match we had Rick Boogswas like a military press I think it
(15:22):
was um one montest Ford and thenhe curled Angelo Dawkins. I believe it
was very impressive, very strength.I mean, that's that's quite the amount
of strength. Um. But inthe end, in the end we do
(15:45):
get Forward who pins Rick Boogs,and after the match we get La Knight
who hit the BFT on Rick Boogsand the leaves him lying in the middle
of the ring. And this tome, I could have waged way done
(16:15):
without I you put together a makeshifttag team in Boogs and Night and they
lose. I don't know how longthe match was. I didn't look it
(16:38):
up. If I had to guessoff of memory, I had to summer
around probably the four minute mark.I just for them to lose and La
Night all right, Eddie turn onBoogs. So there's a few. There's
(17:07):
your story. I guess we gotNight versus Booze going forward. I'm sure,
but I don't feel like they needto go this route. I don't
understand what this segment was about,but we got it, and I'm glad
(17:29):
the Street Provins didn't lose to amakeshift tag team that's just going to break
up this easily. So with that, I don't know exactly where they're going
with La Night. I'm hoping they'restill pushing him. I'm hoping he ends
(17:55):
up getting the winds over Boogs,but I don't know. They feel like
every time they're gonna push La Knight, they end up spinning his tires instead,
and he doesn't go anywhere. Hemight go backwards. I mean,
(18:15):
it's interesting. La Knight is aninteresting one because he should be being pushed
so much harder. He's such agood fucking talent. He should should be
being pushed, but it just seemslike he's stuck in the mud. He's
just kind of spinning his wheels andnot going anywhere. I mean, the
(18:38):
crowd and the fans absolutely love him. The crowd is behind him one hundred
percent, but for whatever reason,Creative just isn't pushing him the way they
should be. And I hope that'schanging. Hopefully he starts picking up wins.
Maybe La Knight or this big brickBoogs feud is a start of something.
(19:03):
Um, I guess. Only timeI guess will tell on where exactly
they're going to be going with withLa Night mum. So going forward and
leant to skip over the can andcrimes part I want to give over the
(19:26):
USO's backstage part. Um, wedo get carrying Cross who throws out the
the tarot cards um, and hisnext victim, you could say, is
(19:48):
Aj Styles. He's gonna take hisjustice. Um I ate, I don't.
He was gonna take Knocking Mark mI'm sorry, Yeah, he's gonna
take Knockamore's honor. But I believeKnockamore ended up beating him in the match,
(20:14):
and I kind of think Aj wouldend up beating Cross as well.
So I don't. I don't.They are crosses going nowhere right now?
Mm hmmm. Moving forward, AlbaFire and Isla don versus. Um,
(20:41):
let's see Valentina. I'm gonna gettheir names wrong. Fro Furrows and Ye
slut Leon have enhancement talents. Itwas a squash match, not we're gonna
fucking talk about it. Waste offucking time. I don't know who is
(21:04):
who Alba Fire and Eiland don't.I don't figure that out yet. I
didn't watch NXT, so it's peopleare a lot more new. Um.
I don't know who is who?But where the red hat is? She's
hot? Just saying um. Movingforward, we get Raquel r week as
(21:26):
backstage. Um, we got thenews live. Morgan is going to be
out for an extended amount of timedue to injury sustained during their match against
(21:47):
Damage Control, which means the women'stag team titles have to be relinquished and
we're going to be getting a fourway match. Um. I didn't great
(22:07):
podcasting, right, I didn't writeit down when they were gonna have the
match. I don't remember. Um, but we're going to get um EO
Sky and the Code or EO Skyand Bailey versus Chelsea Greene and Sonya Deville
(22:33):
versus where Cala Rodriguez and opponent ofher choice or a team man of her
choice and the fourth team as RhondaRossi and Shana Basler Um. My prediction
for Rodriguez's partner is probably gonna beShotsy, That'd be my guess. But
(23:06):
here's my issue. Live and Raquelboth got drafted to Raw, shaans he
got drafted to SmackDown. They're onseparate shows, so why are they partners?
(23:27):
But also if they had to relinquishthe titles, they no longer have
the titles on them, which meansRaquel needs to be on Raw and she
should not have been on this SmackDown. She didn't even she did not have
the belt on her. She nolonger has the titles, which means she
(23:52):
is a Raw superstar, so sheneeds to get her ass off SmackDown and
go back over to Raw because thatthere's no reason to have Ron SmackDown.
They're just there. Just isn't um. But with that being said, I
(24:14):
really hope the Live morgan Um whereveris going on, whether it's it is
storyline or whether it's real. Ihope she gets better. If it's real,
if it's storyline, all right,whatever. We had another fatal for
women's title match again. Um,but but but but Austin Theory. Um
(24:49):
he comes out, and so Theorybecause he comes out and he starts talking,
saying about how last week he wasgaged up on by two former champions
(25:18):
and lastly and Shamous he expected itfrom last week because last seems to follow
him. Ever, he goes he'sjealous of Theory, but Shamus doesn't understand
they have something comment all this otherstuff. Basically, it pissed off Shamous.
(25:45):
M Shamus comes out, he grabsthe microphone and he's gonna talk.
Theory says, oh, you havesomething that you're gonna say, and then
bam, we get a broad kickout of nowhere from Shamous lays out Theory
and Shamous ladies, it's just micDrop drops the microphone, doesn't say a
(26:06):
word and walks back off. Um. And that's how that segment ended.
And we did to get word thatnext week on SmackDown, we're going to
get Shamous versus Austin Theory for theUS Championship. Um. So this segment,
(26:33):
I I really enjoyed, but Ican't say I'm surprised. It is,
after all, Austin theory. Somoving forward, Um, I think
theory is gonna win. Um that'sthat mmmmm mmmm So Boozer rastling Um he
(27:14):
wants to be credited only so sorrywas saying his name um with hashtag b
we Um did say that at NINAChampions, somebody would be dropping their titles
and it would anger a lot offans, but it would better their career.
(27:38):
Could this be theory? Maybe it'snot just supposed to happen NAT Champions,
but it got changed to the Fridaybefore. I don't think I would
anger a lot of fans though,So maybe that's not who it is mare
it is Bellair. But anyway,I'm gonna ain't going down that rabbit hole.
I'm sorry I did a little bitanyway, So moving forward, Um,
(28:04):
we get another bloodline at USO's withPaul Haymond talking, I'm gonna that
we move up to the main eventthe l WO Ray Mysterio and Santos Escobar
versus the USO's Jimmy and Jay Usso. Um, so this match ended,
(28:36):
it ended, came say we gotSantos Escobar delivering a diving splash onto Jimmy
USSO and that's how the LWO getsthe w and Jimmy takes the pinfall.
(28:56):
Jimmy takes the fall again. Ithought this match had a lot of really
great spots. Um. I justand I watching the USO's fall. It's
it's crazy to me because they've beenhot for so long, and I really,
(29:23):
I really think they could be myfavorite tag team, um, even
before the whole bloodline thing. Um, ever since I started rewatching wrestling back
in twenty nineteen. Now, eversince I first saw the Usos, They've
(29:44):
always been one of my favorites.UM, But it just feels like they
can't do right. Jimmy can't doright to save his life, and he's
gonna get his ass whooped very well. Could happen at nine of Champions And
(30:11):
then do Ko and Sammy come inand help? Is it one of those
things where the Ustos come in andtry and stop Ko or try and help
Roman ended up costing Roman. Instead, Solo eats the pen like a roll
(30:36):
up, Solo stands up, laysone of them out. The Ustos come
in the ring and then Roman justlays them balls out and then we get
Simoan Spike. I don't know,maybe till night Champions goes, but it's
(31:04):
just crazy to see them keep eatingthese losses. The usosum but so that
really that was SmackDown wasn't super detailedon their reviews, but you did get
your wins and losses and a littlebit of a pointers here and there.
(31:29):
Um. I mean, it isalmost two am here where I'm at,
so I do kind of want toget to bed, so to keep it
kind of a brief episode, hopefully, I'm just watching the news seeing what
I got coming in. I hopefullyI can drop an extra rings had extra
(31:52):
the next day or two hopefully,and then we got raw here on Monday.
So I hope you all have agood one. You can find me
again on Twitter at podcast Underscore,WWE and Real Quick for Money in the
(32:13):
Bank, so not nine Champions butMoney in the Bank the pay per view
in the beginning of July. Weare gonna have a co host for our
preview and prediction show, quite possiblya review show. I don't always do
(32:37):
review shows of PL's, it's justthe timing doesn't quite work for me.

well might have another co host withthat one as well, probably the same

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
