Speaker 4 (02:41):
It's feedback, give us a call at the FRO Wrestling
sound offline two six seven six' four to two eleven
sixty and we will get to those questions or comments
in a future. Episode tonight recapping the news in the
world of pro wrestling for the, day starting WITH nxt
going on. Tonight gotta be honest with, you loving the
stuff With Jordan grace and Blakeman. Roe it kicked off the.
Show it's exactly what we're looking for from that. Feud
(03:04):
two main roster level talents still IN nxt and getting
to see them work this program is just the thing of.
BEAUTY i think everybody is really itching to see the
blowoff from this.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Program.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now the part that kind of hits me a little
bit Is Jordan grace is absolutely phenomenal and she needs
to be on the main roster and until she gets,
done this future can't. Be at the same, TIME i
really want her to Beat Blake, monroe but that's not
usually how it goes. Down, monroe being the newer, talent
will probably win the feud Before grace makes her main roster,
(03:37):
move if that is indeed what is going to. Happen
at the same, Time monroe could also be headed to
the main roster.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
In relatively quick. Order SO i don't.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Know this is a tough one to, see BUT i
love that they kicked off the, show keeping that story
moving forward and keeping people invested and interested in what they're.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Doing the rest of the.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Show there were a few things that really really seemed
to stand out to. ME i Love Chelsea green coming
out with Her canadian heritage to back Up Ethan.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
PAGE i really Loved i'm gonna be honest with.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You the highlight of the night for me is the
interaction Between obafemi And Trick. Williams clearly they've got the
history talking About obafemi in the past has always Defeated Trick.
Williams Trick williams leading two brands wanting both. CHAMPIONSHIPS i
love that they Bring Javon evans into the mix and
he's gonna get an opportunity to mix it up with
him as. Well and then of course the crossover surprise once,
(04:26):
AGAIN Tna Superstar moose comes out and he is going
to be the man that is going to be taking
On Trick williams and he wants to make sure that
he reminds him of that did not get too comfortable
because he's the man coming for him at the NEXT
tna pay per view.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Emergence and this was done so.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
WELL i buy into a fatal four way for THE Nxt,
championship which would be a great way to take the
championship From obafemi him not having to take a pinfall.
LOSS i don't really want to See Trick williams walk
around with two. Belts so then it takes you to
what If moose were to win THE Nxt. Championship he's
bringing THE nxt title TO, tna and THE tna title
(05:06):
resides on AN nxt superstar where they could throw a
funky bone into, everything put both championships on the line
and have somebody Like Javon evans walk out with Both
i'd be okay with that.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Too but whatever they, Do Dark state.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Appearing and attacking all four of them and actually getting laid,
out knocked out of the.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Ring thought it was, perfect really good. Stuff so kudos
TO nxt.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Tonight they really are firing on all cylinders AND i
really love what the things that they're doing gotten to
get into some of you, know whenever whenever there's an,
up there's a.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Down some of the sadder news of the.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Day of, course today was the day that legendary W
hall Of Famer Hult coogan was laid to rest in
a private, ceremony and attending the funeral was was just
a who's who of wrestling royalty Between TRIPLE, H stephanie
McMahon was. There Rick flair put out a beautiful note
on x where he described the fact other people who were,
(05:58):
there Like vince McMahon being in, Attendance Dennis, Rodman Kid,
Rock Bam, Margera there's just a litany of people at the,
service who's who of the wrestling. World really really interesting
stuff to see so much love and support For Hulk
hogan after his. Passing at the same, time what's really
(06:19):
Strange Brooke hogan calling into The Bubba bubba The Love
Sponge show having a. Conversation then there's several things that
came out of, it and one of the things was
she basically Cleared bubba of any wrongdoing in The gawker
situation because for years he was kind of taking the
(06:40):
fall from being the one who leaked information about The
Hulk hogan sex tape and, whatnot and apparently she debunked
a lot of. That you, know she basically made it
clear that this was Not, bubba this was this was
somebody else setting up the, situation.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And that he has been wrongfully accused for all these.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
YEARS i think the most shocking thing come out of
the interview With bubba was, That i'll give you the.
Quote it says for, me the no autopsy and the
leukemia out of nowhere hits me AS Bs Brooke hogan
does not believe in the leukemia. DIAGNOSIS i can't imagine
why that would be put into.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
THERE i, mean her justification is a little.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Strange she said she'd be surprised at a surgeon who
would work on somebody with. Leukemia see the high white blood,
count all these things all the surgeries had how nobody
would have.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Picked up on.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
This then, again but you, know based on hip of,
stuff she may not have been privy to. That and
it's been well documented that the relationship Between brooke and
her father in the last couple of years has been very, strange,
strange so maybe he wasn't telling. Her maybe this is
a you, know only a two year, situation but definitely
a sad. Situation and it's really a shame to see.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
All this coming, out you, know post the passing Of Hulk.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Hogan BUT i guess it's it's something we have to talk,
about and of course that leads me to another thing we.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Have to talk.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
ABOUT i was actually surprised it's taking this long to
hear From brett The Hitman heart relating to passing Of Hulk.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Cogan and he had some interesting things to. Say he was.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Doing an interview and you, know comments about his passing and,
whatnot and he was on the Mass Man. Show And
i'll read the quote to you because it's it's an
interesting when he, says you can never deny what Hul cogan,
did like his footprint in the wrestling business will always be.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Huge like maybe as big as it's.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Ever going to get heart, Explained Roddy piper was one
of the few guys that reached down and pulled me
up to his. Level he like helped pull me. Up
Roddy piper made me and contributed back to the next.
Generation but there was a lot of wrestlers that didn't do.
That Hulk hogan never did that for. Anybody he never
pulled anyone else.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Up it's.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Interesting he goes on to, Say Jake roberts never did
anything for anybody. Else he only did For Jake. ROBERTS
i look At Jake roberts AND i look At Hull
cogan as just two, guys AND i find that interesting
because you, KNOW i won't say The Hul cogan pulled anybody.
Up but The giant was a brand new, wrestler And
hogan got to work with him right, away and he
BECAME Wcw World champion right.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Away When goldberg was.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
At his, Pinnacle hogan is the one who put him
over and put THE wcw championship on. Him if you
look at the litme of, wrestlers look, people let's go
all the way.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Back you, know eighty eighty four on people Like, Kamala
King Kong. Bundy, heck even people Like Adrian.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Adonnas those are people who were always big in their,
territory but never certainly a world heavyweight. Champion AND i
can remember being a fan at The Philadelphia spectrum watching
matches between Hul coogan And Kamala Hulk hogan and Adorable
Adrian Adonnas Hulk. Hogan and you know a lit, Me
(09:51):
King Kong, Bundy Big john Stud these are people who
never reached world champion status in any of the other
territories they went. TO i think the big bggest, thing
the biggest CREDIT i can give To King Kong bundy
is he's the man who got the pleasure of being
the last opponent For fritz Van eric during his first
real retirement where he lost The America's championship To fritz Van.
Eric but in most of the places The King Kong bundy,
(10:14):
went he was an. Attraction he was never a world championship,
contender and he Headlined WrestleMania. Too if that's Not hogan
reaching out and pulling somebody, UP i don't know what
is think about other wrestlers he worked with in THE,
Nwa Big Bubba rogers was just a. Bodyguard when he
comes to ww and works With hogan right, away he's
in the main event as the big Boss, man The
(10:35):
One Man. Gang he was IN uwf won THE Uwf
World Heavyweight championship by forfeit lost it shortly after The
Steve doctor. Death Williams, SO i don't know if he
was ever actually a world champion level, guy but he
got to work a world championship program With hogan as
The One Man gang and then later on as a
chem Hul cogan didn't have to Bring Randy savage up
(10:57):
to the level he, did but he.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Did, ever every Buddy hogan worked with was bringing somebody.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Up he's the guy who put The Ultimate warrior Over
clean At WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Six so did he reach down and help?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Anybody absolutely is anybody who typically trashes the warriors in
ring skill going to. Trash the fact that Hul cogan
took a guy who most people claim had no in
ring skill gave him the best match probably of his,
career short of maybe The Rick rude.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Series you, know that's reaching DOWN u pulling somebody. UP
i think Sometimes.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Brett hart being so frustrated over thirty years ago When
hogan refused to drop THE Wb championship vacuum At SummerSlam ninety.
THREE i Think Brett hart kind of hangs onto that
sometimes unless it cloud his judgment in terms of what's
going on with Hul cogan the rest of his. Career
but you, know it's it's. Hard you, know you'll want
(11:47):
to see these wrestlers holding, grudges but it's almost like
that's what it.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is it's almost like it's a grudge that he just
can't let, go just like The goldberg.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Won and, then of, course the last THING i have
to talk about tonight in terms Of Hulk. HOGAN tmz
is going to be releasing a documentary on the life
of Hul cogan and there are some premium names gonna be,
involved interviews With Sylvester, Stallone vince, McMahon Mick, Foley Bill,
Goldberg Jimmy, Hart Alexa, Bliss Jacob, Fatu Charlotte. Flair it's
(12:14):
a who's who of wrestling personalities and big, stars especially
with people Like Vince mcmahonbate. Involved and that's supposed to
Air august, twelfth eight O'clock eastern time On.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Fox that should be.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
An incredible opportunity to take a different look at Hul cogan's,
contributions AND i definitely will be looking forward to seeing.
THAT i hope they do some really cool stuff with that.
Opportunity it's not gonna be one of These hollywood. Things
i'm still wishing they would have done The hemsworth, one
but you, know.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He can't have. Everything let's move on to some more news.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Today Carrion cross And scarlett we're not backstage AT raw
ahead of their contract expiring this coming. Weekend putting, UP
i was ON x AND i saw an interesting post
bump From Carrion. Cross it was a phone voice message
From Kevin, sullivan former talent relations guy FOR, aew basically
talking to him about how he doesn't understand WHY wwe
(13:09):
doesn't see more And. Cross he's got the, look he's
got the mic, skills he's got the innring.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Ability he should be a, big big. Star he's encouraging.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Him not to, be you, know not to feel down
about his place IN, wwe and the great things are
coming to. HIM i too don't, understand other than something
that is Not cross his, fault the fact that they
have CREATED i, mean his finisher. Sucks this back elbow
thing is just god awful. Terrible it's killer, cross it's carrying.
Cross he should have some insanely powerful finishing hold AND
(13:39):
i think that would be what they need to cap
off the. Package but that shouldn't be enough to hold him,
down especially not with the groundswallow of support coming from
the Wrestling internet. Community so, again IF wwe lets him,
Walk i'll be thoroughly.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Shocked i'm hoping this is a, work not a.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Shoot i'm hoping that either they already have signed extensions
or they will. Soon but as of right, now if
you follow along with all this, stuff you gotta have
that sense that they may be leaving the.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Company and where do they go after? There they go To?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Japan did they go back TO? Tna do they reach
out To Tony kahn and Aew.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
We'll have to wait and.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
See one of the biggest stories of the, weekend not
just the brock lesnar, return but now the conversation about
why now is the time to bring him back to
w B Television Fightful select reporting that the decision came
from wbe's legal department in recent. Weeks they confirmed previous
reports that you, KNOW wwe legal had signed off on his.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Return the estimate is around four weeks.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Ago booker t was on his podcast and his opinion
on the situation is either brock has been cleared of
any wrongdoing or The Janelle grant lawsuit could be coming
to a. Conclusion whether that's arbitration or, whatever it is a.
Settlement want to wait and. See there was a press
release From grant's team that made it clear that the
(14:55):
lawsuit's not going. Away but what WE i really need
to think about here, is no matter how you feel
about The Janelle grant, Lawsuit i'm not here to take.
Sides Brock lesner's involvement in the entire conversation can be
boiled down to one basic. Thing he was contemplating cheating
on his, Wife amy justifying it absolutely. NOT i think
(15:16):
it's horrible to for anybody that does, that but that's
what he.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Was about to.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Do And vince McMahon was a very good personal friend
of Brock, lesner's And vince basically was trying to get
him a. Hookup that's the way they're gonna look at in.
Court it may not be How Jane grant's legal team
wants to look at. It and of course they're gonna
pursue it is a much more serious thing because they
traveled across state lines and that makes it trafficking and all.
That but they are gonna probably be implying that this
(15:41):
was she was a willing, participant that Brock lesner is
this world, famous world RENOWNED ufcwwe.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Guy or, whatnot and it was just a.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Hookup vince McMahon has maintained the whole time that this
was a relationship that she's upset about that went sour and.
Whatnot SO i, LOOK i wasn't. THERE i don't know what.
Happened WHAT i know is from legal, STANDPOINT i don't
know what you could possibly get brock on to begin.
With he's not even named in the, lawsuit So i'm not.
Surprised he's a figure in the lawsuit that is, reference
(16:10):
but there's no charges being brought against Brock, Lesner so
him coming back doesn't surprise me at. All AND i
think it's an injection of life INTO wwe WHEN i
guess maybe they felt.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Like they needed, to especially with all the stuff they
got going on right. Now, heck another report came out On.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Dave meltzer's, show where he was talking about there was
like another championship match that was planned For, SummerSlam that
the idea of putting The World championship On Seth rollins
On night one was Not it wasn't a last minute.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Thing it was.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Planned but there were originally conversations about having him defend
the Championship night two Against La knight like he did.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
On Monday Night.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Raw but for whatever, reason that seems to have gotten.
Changed Wrestling Observer radio saying that they changed that over
and decided to put it raw instead with no. Advertising
but you, know according To Dave, meltzer the match was
always a schedule to happen With seth defending Against La
knight this, week so it was.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Planned several weeks. Beforehand it's not something new.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
INTERESTING i don't know how they would have sold that
It's SummerSlam unless they would have had him do the
cash in and then Have La knight come out and
do something either after the cash in or at the
start Of night. TWO i guess that's, possible but that's
What that's what we're hearing from The meltzer.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Camp.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Now other news coming out Of, SummerSlam gunther is out
in definitely now they claim that it's due to injuries
suffered At summerslam's main.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Event that is not the report That i've.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Seen the report That i've seen is that he has
an orbital a blowout, fracture that and those.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Things the rumor is is that happened before the.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Match that the spot Where sampunk swipes out his legs
and he falls on the table is done on purpose
so he can go, down come up with the blood
and it would justify him being out of the ring
for an extended period of time and. Whatnot and Hopefully
guntherro will be back in short. Order according To Dave
meltzer once Again Wrestling Observer, Radio guntherro is going to
(18:09):
require surgery on his. Nose his word, is he, says
the spot in the match where gunther hit the announced
table was included to make that look like the injury.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Occurred then.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
They is a key to note That Michael cole did
not mention surgery on his nose during the raw. Broadcast
but that's the word we're getting From Dave. Meltzer so
we'll have to, wait And i'm not sure how long
he'll be. Out hopefully he'll get back, quickly so he
can still hopefully have that opportunity to Wrestle John cena
before the end of the, year but we'll have to
wait and.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
See hopefully he's a fast.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Healer one other tidbit before we get the raw update ON,
tna and they have a potential media rights deal coming
down the. PIKE i almost feel like a broken record.
Tonight but referencing again once again back to The Wrestling observer,
newsletter they have a quote in here says regarding the
NEW tv, deal BOTH a AND e AND cw have been,
rumored and in both these, cases OBVIOUSLY wwe would have,
(19:00):
involved the report, stated adding THAT wwe could potentially get
EITHER a AND e OR cw to MOVE tna To wednesday,
nights but the report also added that the stations might
decide to instead AIR tna shows On thursdays Or sundays
since those would be the only nights without competition FROM
wwe OR aw television. Shows and the report also suggests
(19:22):
THAT tna could be a good lead in FOR, wwelfg
which already airs On sunday nights ON a AND.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
E AND i think it's a great.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Idea the whole point of this partnership was to get
them enhanced viewership and that has paid, off you, know
record setting pay per views and things like. That so
a new media rights deal the support OF, wwe these
two companies are getting closer and. Closer it's a beautiful,
THING i think for the wrestling. Community, THOUGH i gotta
say now THAT wwe has officially taken full control Of TRIPLE,
(19:50):
a it would not surprise me if somewhere down the
line they didn't ACQUIRE. Tna if for some Reason anthem
decides to get out of the, business.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
We'll have to wait and.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
See that being, said let's get into our response TO
Wwe Monday Night raw Or Netflix. Raw we started the
show With Seth, Rollins Paul, Hayman, Bronson reed Bron breaker
all out in the. Ring they're talking trash about just
about just about. Everybody La Knights music. Hits he comes.
Out he's the guy who Beat Seth. Rollins shouldn't he
(20:22):
get a title?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Shot?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Absolutely AND i love That Adam pierce was not the
typical Cowardly Adam.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Pierce he seemed to really know what he was.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Doing and he comes out and makes the match official
for that, night WHICH i think was. Perfect we have
our first match As shamous Versus russev match three in their.
Series this one ends with a double count, out a
horrible finish to, it BUT i guess if you're WHAT
i think there. Was the whole purpose to this was
for the backstage segment later on where the two of
(20:50):
them are still fighting and somehow they Include sammy's ain
and that accidentally Seeing rusev Hit Sammy's, ain which will
lead to a match next week between the two of.
Them we Have penta And Grayson waller after a backstage.
Segment this was all, RIGHT i, REALLY i Just i'm
chomping a de bit For penta And phoenix to be.
Reunited maybe now that THAT tlc match is, over we
can move towards. That But, penta he wins with A Mexican,
(21:14):
destroyer Defeats Grayson. Waller after the, match he basically takes
out The New, day Which i'm fine. With where's The
Xavier woods wearing this crazy hat with all these. Frills
he ends up throwing that at him out of the
ring and wore for a little bit and did his
little dance and, strut WHICH i thought was. Awesome later,
on we hear From Charlotte flair And Alexa bliss awkward
(21:35):
exchanges with him taking each other's belts and playing up
to like the friend, thing and then they're stuck together
as long as they're Still Women's Tag team. Champions of,
course this springs Out Roxanne perez And Raquel rodriguez for
a rematch for The Women's Tag Team. Championship solid, match
relatively short, match good. Match charlotte And alexa pick up
the win after a Sister abigail On, roxanne and then
(22:00):
it follows up With Dominic mysterio Versus Dragon. Leave actually
a really really good. Match Dragon lee look great in.
This let's get to the part THAT i. Hated El Grande,
americano the one that is more than Likely Ludwig kaiser comes.
Out then here Comes Elgrande Americano part, two which is you,
Know Pete, Dunn and then we Get El Grande Americano part,
(22:20):
three WHICH i still don't.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Think is jag.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Gable And i'll be honest with, You NORMALLY i would
google this stuff find out who the third one.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
IS i just don't. Care at this.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Point it's it's almost Like joint the, Clown LIKE i
just don't. Care can we just get on with this,
Storyline are we gonna do? This do we have eight
of them and have like An El Grande americano? Tournament like?
Whatever didn't do anything for, me BUT i was okay
With dominic picking up to. Win after the, match Aj
styles runs, down grabs the boot From, dominic goes to
hit him with it but doesn't, happen which obviously they're
(22:49):
their feud is not.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Over that's the part of the show where we see
the Sam.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
He's a backstage part With seamus and russev and and
him getting. Involved then we get The Becky lynch, promo,
which if you watch this, show this is probably the
most important thing of the. Night Becky lynch talking, Trash Nicky,
bella her music, hits she makes her way to the,
ring and there's the general stuff back and, forth but
nothing gets as much heat as When Becky lynch talks
(23:16):
about her and her, husband her hot, husband being the
greatest wrestling couple of all. Time and then she, goes
it would have been you and your hu and she
pauses and she's making reference To John. Cena she, goes,
oh that's, right you can't see him, anymore making fun
(23:36):
of the way her And johnsena's relationship fell, apart WHICH i,
THOUGHT i, mean the reaction from the crowds was, fantastic
but then she Hits Nicky. Bella she goes down and stays,
down and then she just leaves the, ring AND i, thought,
like you really punked Out Nicky, bella you know WHAT i?
Mean Like Nicki bella had. Nothing it was all generic promo.
Stuff and when you get hit with a zinger like,
(23:57):
that you gotta come back with like some kind of
fire man like come back with something About. Charlotte you,
know you can't even keep your best friend, ORS i
don't know, whatever but you gotta have a zinger of some.
Kind you can't just walk away from. That and that's
exactly what, happened And Nicki bella kind of look. WEAK
i guess this will lead to a program in a
match between the two for the. TITLE i don't really
care if she, wins, retains or if she loses, it
(24:17):
BUT i thought this could have been done.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
BETTER i don't like.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
The invoking Of John, cena just BECAUSE i, think you,
know that's like tearing a band aid.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Off an old.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Wound it's not, needed and if you're going to do,
it here's the crazy, part. Right AND i listened To
bust And open With dave Le greca And Bully ray
talking about. This as soon as she hit with the,
Line i'm being. Honest they didn't believe the one fan
who said. It but if you're all listening to my,
show you're a big enough fan that you probably did
(24:46):
the same THING i. Do how cool would it be
to See seth And becky Against sena AND Nicki Now
sena is now, Married nicky is recently. Divorced you would
need a whole lot of good will From John cena
and his wife to pull off an angle where he
defends the honor Of Nikki bella despite the fact that
they're no longer.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
TOGETHER i, mean he could play it as you.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Know he could come out and be, like, hey we're you,
know even though our relationship didn't work, out we are
still friendly with one.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Another we're respectful of one.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Another you, know you know, Whatever AND i could buy,
That AND i thought it, Too AND i Think dave
Le greca thought one of the callers was full of
it when they reference, that BUT i thought the same.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Thing it makes total.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
SENSE i just DON'T i can't imagine What John seena's
wife would feel, like if that's the angle you go,
with but it was worth the. VIEW i would love
to see scene to do, that but of, course with
the Brack lesner stuff going, ON i don't think that's gonna.
Happen and then the final part of the evening we
Get Seth rollins defending The World Heavyweight championship Against La,
Knight bronson reading Bron breaker were barred from. Ringside thank
(25:48):
You Adam pierce for getting involved again to make that.
Happen but we all know what's gonna happen. Here at one,
point we're getting ready to see a curb stomp into
the concrete. Floor see, Him punk hits the ring causes the,
disqualify which what's weird to me Is La knight gets
mad At punk for costing the. CHAMPIONSHIP i get, that
but you were about to have your face stomped into the,
(26:08):
Floor and if history tells us, anything that's what happened
To Roman. Reigns he was out for like three months
leading Into. WrestleMania so if You're La, knight do you
want your face mushed in the, Floor you're gonna come
out with something, like OH i had him right WHERE
i want. HIM i was faking it or. WHATEVER i
was faking it like he faked his injury or. Whatever,
maybe BUT i do think people were interested in The
La knight see him punk. DYNAMIC i think that could
(26:30):
be very very cool and certainly a stop gap until
we get the Punk, roman WHICH i think has to
happen at some. Point punk throwing some shade At roman
ON x. Today not, sure not sure how that's gonna play.
Out we do See punk hit the. Ring La knight
pulls them.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Off they're all fighting like, crazy and then of course
The bronze come to the.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Ring they lay out both of, them and then as
they're getting ready to go to the, back they start
cueing the. Music the end credits are getting ready to
roll on, everything and they q the otase entrance. Music
Roman reigns makes an unannounced appearance On, raw comes to the,
ring starts cleaning, house takes out Both.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Bronze then they tease he And. Seth seth backs.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Out of the, ring and then it goes down between
he and The, bronze and at one, point as he's
getting the better of the two of, Them seth comes
in hits the curb stomp and that's how we're gonna
end the show with three, tsunamis which AGAIN i Heard
Bully ray today talking about why did they only do?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Three he did six of them To seth last. Year
why would't you do six of them To?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Roman at least six of them To roman to try
to take out the biggest threat To Seth rollins's.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
FACTION i agree With Bully. Ray the guy's got.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
The most incredible insight into the wrestling business THAT i
Think i've ever. Seen but this is obviously gonna set
up a six man tag team, match SOMETHING i don't
really care. For but ALL i Thought raw was pretty
solid coming out of a Great Summer slam two night.
Event not disappointed with any of, it except for maybe
some of the interview lines and. WHATNOT i don't really
care for The El Grande americano, nonsense but most of
(27:55):
the rest of the show is pretty. Solid If i'm being,
HONEST i feel LIKE Aj styles. Promo i'm a HUGE Aj.
MARK i feel like some of his stuff comes across
as a little bit hokey and a little bit too,
choreographed but otherwise it was good. STUFF i Love sammy's
ain't get involved with somebody. ELSE i would have loved
to have seen Carry across who was not. THERE i
would have been interested to see a lot of talents.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That were not.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
THERE i was kind of, surprised but all in, all
pretty good. Show no major, complaints that's for. Sure that's
all the time.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
It's feedback, give us a call at the FRO Wrestling
sound offline two six seven six' four to two eleven
sixty and we will get to those questions or comments
in a future. Episode tonight recapping the news in the
world of pro wrestling for the, day starting WITH nxt
going on. Tonight gotta be honest with, you loving the
stuff With Jordan grace and Blakeman. Roe it kicked off the.
Show it's exactly what we're looking for from that. Feud
(03:04):
two main roster level talents still IN nxt and getting
to see them work this program is just the thing of.
BEAUTY i think everybody is really itching to see the
blowoff from this.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Program.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now the part that kind of hits me a little
bit Is Jordan grace is absolutely phenomenal and she needs
to be on the main roster and until she gets,
done this future can't. Be at the same, TIME i
really want her to Beat Blake, monroe but that's not
usually how it goes. Down, monroe being the newer, talent
will probably win the feud Before grace makes her main roster,
(03:37):
move if that is indeed what is going to. Happen
at the same, Time monroe could also be headed to
the main roster.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
In relatively quick. Order SO i don't.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Know this is a tough one to, see BUT i
love that they kicked off the, show keeping that story
moving forward and keeping people invested and interested in what they're.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Doing the rest of the.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Show there were a few things that really really seemed
to stand out to. ME i Love Chelsea green coming
out with Her canadian heritage to back Up Ethan.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
PAGE i really Loved i'm gonna be honest with.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You the highlight of the night for me is the
interaction Between obafemi And Trick. Williams clearly they've got the
history talking About obafemi in the past has always Defeated Trick.
Williams Trick williams leading two brands wanting both. CHAMPIONSHIPS i
love that they Bring Javon evans into the mix and
he's gonna get an opportunity to mix it up with
him as. Well and then of course the crossover surprise once,
(04:26):
AGAIN Tna Superstar moose comes out and he is going
to be the man that is going to be taking
On Trick williams and he wants to make sure that
he reminds him of that did not get too comfortable
because he's the man coming for him at the NEXT
tna pay per view.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Emergence and this was done so.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
WELL i buy into a fatal four way for THE Nxt,
championship which would be a great way to take the
championship From obafemi him not having to take a pinfall.
LOSS i don't really want to See Trick williams walk
around with two. Belts so then it takes you to
what If moose were to win THE Nxt. Championship he's
bringing THE nxt title TO, tna and THE tna title
(05:06):
resides on AN nxt superstar where they could throw a
funky bone into, everything put both championships on the line
and have somebody Like Javon evans walk out with Both
i'd be okay with that.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Too but whatever they, Do Dark state.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Appearing and attacking all four of them and actually getting laid,
out knocked out of the.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Ring thought it was, perfect really good. Stuff so kudos
TO nxt.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Tonight they really are firing on all cylinders AND i
really love what the things that they're doing gotten to
get into some of you, know whenever whenever there's an,
up there's a.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Down some of the sadder news of the.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Day of, course today was the day that legendary W
hall Of Famer Hult coogan was laid to rest in
a private, ceremony and attending the funeral was was just
a who's who of wrestling royalty Between TRIPLE, H stephanie
McMahon was. There Rick flair put out a beautiful note
on x where he described the fact other people who were,
(05:58):
there Like vince McMahon being in, Attendance Dennis, Rodman Kid,
Rock Bam, Margera there's just a litany of people at the,
service who's who of the wrestling. World really really interesting
stuff to see so much love and support For Hulk
hogan after his. Passing at the same, time what's really
(06:19):
Strange Brooke hogan calling into The Bubba bubba The Love
Sponge show having a. Conversation then there's several things that
came out of, it and one of the things was
she basically Cleared bubba of any wrongdoing in The gawker
situation because for years he was kind of taking the
(06:40):
fall from being the one who leaked information about The
Hulk hogan sex tape and, whatnot and apparently she debunked
a lot of. That you, know she basically made it
clear that this was Not, bubba this was this was
somebody else setting up the, situation.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And that he has been wrongfully accused for all these.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
YEARS i think the most shocking thing come out of
the interview With bubba was, That i'll give you the.
Quote it says for, me the no autopsy and the
leukemia out of nowhere hits me AS Bs Brooke hogan
does not believe in the leukemia. DIAGNOSIS i can't imagine
why that would be put into.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
THERE i, mean her justification is a little.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Strange she said she'd be surprised at a surgeon who
would work on somebody with. Leukemia see the high white blood,
count all these things all the surgeries had how nobody
would have.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Picked up on.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
This then, again but you, know based on hip of,
stuff she may not have been privy to. That and
it's been well documented that the relationship Between brooke and
her father in the last couple of years has been very, strange,
strange so maybe he wasn't telling. Her maybe this is
a you, know only a two year, situation but definitely
a sad. Situation and it's really a shame to see.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
All this coming, out you, know post the passing Of Hulk.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Hogan BUT i guess it's it's something we have to talk,
about and of course that leads me to another thing we.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Have to talk.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
ABOUT i was actually surprised it's taking this long to
hear From brett The Hitman heart relating to passing Of Hulk.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Cogan and he had some interesting things to. Say he was.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Doing an interview and you, know comments about his passing and,
whatnot and he was on the Mass Man. Show And
i'll read the quote to you because it's it's an
interesting when he, says you can never deny what Hul cogan,
did like his footprint in the wrestling business will always be.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Huge like maybe as big as it's.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Ever going to get heart, Explained Roddy piper was one
of the few guys that reached down and pulled me
up to his. Level he like helped pull me. Up
Roddy piper made me and contributed back to the next.
Generation but there was a lot of wrestlers that didn't do.
That Hulk hogan never did that for. Anybody he never
pulled anyone else.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Up it's.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Interesting he goes on to, Say Jake roberts never did
anything for anybody. Else he only did For Jake. ROBERTS
i look At Jake roberts AND i look At Hull
cogan as just two, guys AND i find that interesting
because you, KNOW i won't say The Hul cogan pulled anybody.
Up but The giant was a brand new, wrestler And
hogan got to work with him right, away and he
BECAME Wcw World champion right.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Away When goldberg was.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
At his, Pinnacle hogan is the one who put him
over and put THE wcw championship on. Him if you
look at the litme of, wrestlers look, people let's go
all the way.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Back you, know eighty eighty four on people Like, Kamala
King Kong. Bundy, heck even people Like Adrian.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Adonnas those are people who were always big in their,
territory but never certainly a world heavyweight. Champion AND i
can remember being a fan at The Philadelphia spectrum watching
matches between Hul coogan And Kamala Hulk hogan and Adorable
Adrian Adonnas Hulk. Hogan and you know a lit, Me
(09:51):
King Kong, Bundy Big john Stud these are people who
never reached world champion status in any of the other
territories they went. TO i think the big bggest, thing
the biggest CREDIT i can give To King Kong bundy
is he's the man who got the pleasure of being
the last opponent For fritz Van eric during his first
real retirement where he lost The America's championship To fritz Van.
Eric but in most of the places The King Kong bundy,
(10:14):
went he was an. Attraction he was never a world championship,
contender and he Headlined WrestleMania. Too if that's Not hogan
reaching out and pulling somebody, UP i don't know what
is think about other wrestlers he worked with in THE,
Nwa Big Bubba rogers was just a. Bodyguard when he
comes to ww and works With hogan right, away he's
in the main event as the big Boss, man The
(10:35):
One Man. Gang he was IN uwf won THE Uwf
World Heavyweight championship by forfeit lost it shortly after The
Steve doctor. Death Williams, SO i don't know if he
was ever actually a world champion level, guy but he
got to work a world championship program With hogan as
The One Man gang and then later on as a
chem Hul cogan didn't have to Bring Randy savage up
(10:57):
to the level he, did but he.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Did, ever every Buddy hogan worked with was bringing somebody.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Up he's the guy who put The Ultimate warrior Over
clean At WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Six so did he reach down and help?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Anybody absolutely is anybody who typically trashes the warriors in
ring skill going to. Trash the fact that Hul cogan
took a guy who most people claim had no in
ring skill gave him the best match probably of his,
career short of maybe The Rick rude.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Series you, know that's reaching DOWN u pulling somebody. UP
i think Sometimes.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Brett hart being so frustrated over thirty years ago When
hogan refused to drop THE Wb championship vacuum At SummerSlam ninety.
THREE i Think Brett hart kind of hangs onto that
sometimes unless it cloud his judgment in terms of what's
going on with Hul cogan the rest of his. Career
but you, know it's it's. Hard you, know you'll want
(11:47):
to see these wrestlers holding, grudges but it's almost like
that's what it.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is it's almost like it's a grudge that he just
can't let, go just like The goldberg.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Won and, then of, course the last THING i have
to talk about tonight in terms Of Hulk. HOGAN tmz
is going to be releasing a documentary on the life
of Hul cogan and there are some premium names gonna be,
involved interviews With Sylvester, Stallone vince, McMahon Mick, Foley Bill,
Goldberg Jimmy, Hart Alexa, Bliss Jacob, Fatu Charlotte. Flair it's
(12:14):
a who's who of wrestling personalities and big, stars especially
with people Like Vince mcmahonbate. Involved and that's supposed to
Air august, twelfth eight O'clock eastern time On.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Fox that should be.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
An incredible opportunity to take a different look at Hul cogan's,
contributions AND i definitely will be looking forward to seeing.
THAT i hope they do some really cool stuff with that.
Opportunity it's not gonna be one of These hollywood. Things
i'm still wishing they would have done The hemsworth, one
but you, know.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He can't have. Everything let's move on to some more news.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Today Carrion cross And scarlett we're not backstage AT raw
ahead of their contract expiring this coming. Weekend putting, UP
i was ON x AND i saw an interesting post
bump From Carrion. Cross it was a phone voice message
From Kevin, sullivan former talent relations guy FOR, aew basically
talking to him about how he doesn't understand WHY wwe
(13:09):
doesn't see more And. Cross he's got the, look he's
got the mic, skills he's got the innring.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Ability he should be a, big big. Star he's encouraging.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Him not to, be you, know not to feel down
about his place IN, wwe and the great things are
coming to. HIM i too don't, understand other than something
that is Not cross his, fault the fact that they
have CREATED i, mean his finisher. Sucks this back elbow
thing is just god awful. Terrible it's killer, cross it's carrying.
Cross he should have some insanely powerful finishing hold AND
(13:39):
i think that would be what they need to cap
off the. Package but that shouldn't be enough to hold him,
down especially not with the groundswallow of support coming from
the Wrestling internet. Community so, again IF wwe lets him,
Walk i'll be thoroughly.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Shocked i'm hoping this is a, work not a.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Shoot i'm hoping that either they already have signed extensions
or they will. Soon but as of right, now if
you follow along with all this, stuff you gotta have
that sense that they may be leaving the.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Company and where do they go after? There they go To?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Japan did they go back TO? Tna do they reach
out To Tony kahn and Aew.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
We'll have to wait and.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
See one of the biggest stories of the, weekend not
just the brock lesnar, return but now the conversation about
why now is the time to bring him back to
w B Television Fightful select reporting that the decision came
from wbe's legal department in recent. Weeks they confirmed previous
reports that you, KNOW wwe legal had signed off on his.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Return the estimate is around four weeks.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Ago booker t was on his podcast and his opinion
on the situation is either brock has been cleared of
any wrongdoing or The Janelle grant lawsuit could be coming
to a. Conclusion whether that's arbitration or, whatever it is a.
Settlement want to wait and. See there was a press
release From grant's team that made it clear that the
(14:55):
lawsuit's not going. Away but what WE i really need
to think about here, is no matter how you feel
about The Janelle grant, Lawsuit i'm not here to take.
Sides Brock lesner's involvement in the entire conversation can be
boiled down to one basic. Thing he was contemplating cheating
on his, Wife amy justifying it absolutely. NOT i think
(15:16):
it's horrible to for anybody that does, that but that's
what he.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Was about to.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Do And vince McMahon was a very good personal friend
of Brock, lesner's And vince basically was trying to get
him a. Hookup that's the way they're gonna look at in.
Court it may not be How Jane grant's legal team
wants to look at. It and of course they're gonna
pursue it is a much more serious thing because they
traveled across state lines and that makes it trafficking and all.
That but they are gonna probably be implying that this
(15:41):
was she was a willing, participant that Brock lesner is
this world, famous world RENOWNED ufcwwe.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Guy or, whatnot and it was just a.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Hookup vince McMahon has maintained the whole time that this
was a relationship that she's upset about that went sour and.
Whatnot SO i, LOOK i wasn't. THERE i don't know what.
Happened WHAT i know is from legal, STANDPOINT i don't
know what you could possibly get brock on to begin.
With he's not even named in the, lawsuit So i'm not.
Surprised he's a figure in the lawsuit that is, reference
(16:10):
but there's no charges being brought against Brock, Lesner so
him coming back doesn't surprise me at. All AND i
think it's an injection of life INTO wwe WHEN i
guess maybe they felt.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Like they needed, to especially with all the stuff they
got going on right. Now, heck another report came out On.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Dave meltzer's, show where he was talking about there was
like another championship match that was planned For, SummerSlam that
the idea of putting The World championship On Seth rollins
On night one was Not it wasn't a last minute.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Thing it was.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Planned but there were originally conversations about having him defend
the Championship night two Against La knight like he did.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
On Monday Night.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Raw but for whatever, reason that seems to have gotten.
Changed Wrestling Observer radio saying that they changed that over
and decided to put it raw instead with no. Advertising
but you, know according To Dave, meltzer the match was
always a schedule to happen With seth defending Against La
knight this, week so it was.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Planned several weeks. Beforehand it's not something new.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
INTERESTING i don't know how they would have sold that
It's SummerSlam unless they would have had him do the
cash in and then Have La knight come out and
do something either after the cash in or at the
start Of night. TWO i guess that's, possible but that's
What that's what we're hearing from The meltzer.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Camp.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Now other news coming out Of, SummerSlam gunther is out
in definitely now they claim that it's due to injuries
suffered At summerslam's main.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Event that is not the report That i've.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Seen the report That i've seen is that he has
an orbital a blowout, fracture that and those.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Things the rumor is is that happened before the.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Match that the spot Where sampunk swipes out his legs
and he falls on the table is done on purpose
so he can go, down come up with the blood
and it would justify him being out of the ring
for an extended period of time and. Whatnot and Hopefully
guntherro will be back in short. Order according To Dave
meltzer once Again Wrestling Observer, Radio guntherro is going to
(18:09):
require surgery on his. Nose his word, is he, says
the spot in the match where gunther hit the announced
table was included to make that look like the injury.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Occurred then.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
They is a key to note That Michael cole did
not mention surgery on his nose during the raw. Broadcast
but that's the word we're getting From Dave. Meltzer so
we'll have to, wait And i'm not sure how long
he'll be. Out hopefully he'll get back, quickly so he
can still hopefully have that opportunity to Wrestle John cena
before the end of the, year but we'll have to
wait and.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
See hopefully he's a fast.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Healer one other tidbit before we get the raw update ON,
tna and they have a potential media rights deal coming
down the. PIKE i almost feel like a broken record.
Tonight but referencing again once again back to The Wrestling observer,
newsletter they have a quote in here says regarding the
NEW tv, deal BOTH a AND e AND cw have been,
rumored and in both these, cases OBVIOUSLY wwe would have,
(19:00):
involved the report, stated adding THAT wwe could potentially get
EITHER a AND e OR cw to MOVE tna To wednesday,
nights but the report also added that the stations might
decide to instead AIR tna shows On thursdays Or sundays
since those would be the only nights without competition FROM
wwe OR aw television. Shows and the report also suggests
(19:22):
THAT tna could be a good lead in FOR, wwelfg
which already airs On sunday nights ON a AND.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
E AND i think it's a great.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Idea the whole point of this partnership was to get
them enhanced viewership and that has paid, off you, know
record setting pay per views and things like. That so
a new media rights deal the support OF, wwe these
two companies are getting closer and. Closer it's a beautiful,
THING i think for the wrestling. Community, THOUGH i gotta
say now THAT wwe has officially taken full control Of TRIPLE,
(19:50):
a it would not surprise me if somewhere down the
line they didn't ACQUIRE. Tna if for some Reason anthem
decides to get out of the, business.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
We'll have to wait and.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
See that being, said let's get into our response TO
Wwe Monday Night raw Or Netflix. Raw we started the
show With Seth, Rollins Paul, Hayman, Bronson reed Bron breaker
all out in the. Ring they're talking trash about just
about just about. Everybody La Knights music. Hits he comes.
Out he's the guy who Beat Seth. Rollins shouldn't he
(20:22):
get a title?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Shot?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Absolutely AND i love That Adam pierce was not the
typical Cowardly Adam.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Pierce he seemed to really know what he was.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Doing and he comes out and makes the match official
for that, night WHICH i think was. Perfect we have
our first match As shamous Versus russev match three in their.
Series this one ends with a double count, out a
horrible finish to, it BUT i guess if you're WHAT
i think there. Was the whole purpose to this was
for the backstage segment later on where the two of
(20:50):
them are still fighting and somehow they Include sammy's ain
and that accidentally Seeing rusev Hit Sammy's, ain which will
lead to a match next week between the two of.
Them we Have penta And Grayson waller after a backstage.
Segment this was all, RIGHT i, REALLY i Just i'm
chomping a de bit For penta And phoenix to be.
Reunited maybe now that THAT tlc match is, over we
can move towards. That But, penta he wins with A Mexican,
(21:14):
destroyer Defeats Grayson. Waller after the, match he basically takes
out The New, day Which i'm fine. With where's The
Xavier woods wearing this crazy hat with all these. Frills
he ends up throwing that at him out of the
ring and wore for a little bit and did his
little dance and, strut WHICH i thought was. Awesome later,
on we hear From Charlotte flair And Alexa bliss awkward
(21:35):
exchanges with him taking each other's belts and playing up
to like the friend, thing and then they're stuck together
as long as they're Still Women's Tag team. Champions of,
course this springs Out Roxanne perez And Raquel rodriguez for
a rematch for The Women's Tag Team. Championship solid, match
relatively short, match good. Match charlotte And alexa pick up
the win after a Sister abigail On, roxanne and then
(22:00):
it follows up With Dominic mysterio Versus Dragon. Leave actually
a really really good. Match Dragon lee look great in.
This let's get to the part THAT i. Hated El Grande,
americano the one that is more than Likely Ludwig kaiser comes.
Out then here Comes Elgrande Americano part, two which is you,
Know Pete, Dunn and then we Get El Grande Americano part,
(22:20):
three WHICH i still don't.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Think is jag.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Gable And i'll be honest with, You NORMALLY i would
google this stuff find out who the third one.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
IS i just don't. Care at this.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Point it's it's almost Like joint the, Clown LIKE i
just don't. Care can we just get on with this,
Storyline are we gonna do? This do we have eight
of them and have like An El Grande americano? Tournament like?
Whatever didn't do anything for, me BUT i was okay
With dominic picking up to. Win after the, match Aj
styles runs, down grabs the boot From, dominic goes to
hit him with it but doesn't, happen which obviously they're
(22:49):
their feud is not.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Over that's the part of the show where we see
the Sam.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
He's a backstage part With seamus and russev and and
him getting. Involved then we get The Becky lynch, promo,
which if you watch this, show this is probably the
most important thing of the. Night Becky lynch talking, Trash Nicky,
bella her music, hits she makes her way to the,
ring and there's the general stuff back and, forth but
nothing gets as much heat as When Becky lynch talks
(23:16):
about her and her, husband her hot, husband being the
greatest wrestling couple of all. Time and then she, goes
it would have been you and your hu and she
pauses and she's making reference To John. Cena she, goes,
oh that's, right you can't see him, anymore making fun
(23:36):
of the way her And johnsena's relationship fell, apart WHICH i,
THOUGHT i, mean the reaction from the crowds was, fantastic
but then she Hits Nicky. Bella she goes down and stays,
down and then she just leaves the, ring AND i, thought,
like you really punked Out Nicky, bella you know WHAT i?
Mean Like Nicki bella had. Nothing it was all generic promo.
Stuff and when you get hit with a zinger like,
(23:57):
that you gotta come back with like some kind of
fire man like come back with something About. Charlotte you,
know you can't even keep your best friend, ORS i
don't know, whatever but you gotta have a zinger of some.
Kind you can't just walk away from. That and that's
exactly what, happened And Nicki bella kind of look. WEAK
i guess this will lead to a program in a
match between the two for the. TITLE i don't really
care if she, wins, retains or if she loses, it
(24:17):
BUT i thought this could have been done.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
BETTER i don't like.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
The invoking Of John, cena just BECAUSE i, think you,
know that's like tearing a band aid.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Off an old.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Wound it's not, needed and if you're going to do,
it here's the crazy, part. Right AND i listened To
bust And open With dave Le greca And Bully ray
talking about. This as soon as she hit with the,
Line i'm being. Honest they didn't believe the one fan
who said. It but if you're all listening to my,
show you're a big enough fan that you probably did
(24:46):
the same THING i. Do how cool would it be
to See seth And becky Against sena AND Nicki Now
sena is now, Married nicky is recently. Divorced you would
need a whole lot of good will From John cena
and his wife to pull off an angle where he
defends the honor Of Nikki bella despite the fact that
they're no longer.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
TOGETHER i, mean he could play it as you.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Know he could come out and be, like, hey we're you,
know even though our relationship didn't work, out we are
still friendly with one.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Another we're respectful of one.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Another you, know you know, Whatever AND i could buy,
That AND i thought it, Too AND i Think dave
Le greca thought one of the callers was full of
it when they reference, that BUT i thought the same.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Thing it makes total.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
SENSE i just DON'T i can't imagine What John seena's
wife would feel, like if that's the angle you go,
with but it was worth the. VIEW i would love
to see scene to do, that but of, course with
the Brack lesner stuff going, ON i don't think that's gonna.
Happen and then the final part of the evening we
Get Seth rollins defending The World Heavyweight championship Against La,
Knight bronson reading Bron breaker were barred from. Ringside thank
(25:48):
You Adam pierce for getting involved again to make that.
Happen but we all know what's gonna happen. Here at one,
point we're getting ready to see a curb stomp into
the concrete. Floor see, Him punk hits the ring causes the,
disqualify which what's weird to me Is La knight gets
mad At punk for costing the. CHAMPIONSHIP i get, that
but you were about to have your face stomped into the,
(26:08):
Floor and if history tells us, anything that's what happened
To Roman. Reigns he was out for like three months
leading Into. WrestleMania so if You're La, knight do you
want your face mushed in the, Floor you're gonna come
out with something, like OH i had him right WHERE
i want. HIM i was faking it or. WHATEVER i
was faking it like he faked his injury or. Whatever,
maybe BUT i do think people were interested in The
La knight see him punk. DYNAMIC i think that could
(26:30):
be very very cool and certainly a stop gap until
we get the Punk, roman WHICH i think has to
happen at some. Point punk throwing some shade At roman
ON x. Today not, sure not sure how that's gonna play.
Out we do See punk hit the. Ring La knight
pulls them.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Off they're all fighting like, crazy and then of course
The bronze come to the.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Ring they lay out both of, them and then as
they're getting ready to go to the, back they start
cueing the. Music the end credits are getting ready to
roll on, everything and they q the otase entrance. Music
Roman reigns makes an unannounced appearance On, raw comes to the,
ring starts cleaning, house takes out Both.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Bronze then they tease he And. Seth seth backs.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Out of the, ring and then it goes down between
he and The, bronze and at one, point as he's
getting the better of the two of, Them seth comes
in hits the curb stomp and that's how we're gonna
end the show with three, tsunamis which AGAIN i Heard
Bully ray today talking about why did they only do?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Three he did six of them To seth last. Year
why would't you do six of them To?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Roman at least six of them To roman to try
to take out the biggest threat To Seth rollins's.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
FACTION i agree With Bully. Ray the guy's got.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
The most incredible insight into the wrestling business THAT i
Think i've ever. Seen but this is obviously gonna set
up a six man tag team, match SOMETHING i don't
really care. For but ALL i Thought raw was pretty
solid coming out of a Great Summer slam two night.
Event not disappointed with any of, it except for maybe
some of the interview lines and. WHATNOT i don't really
care for The El Grande americano, nonsense but most of
(27:55):
the rest of the show is pretty. Solid If i'm being,
HONEST i feel LIKE Aj styles. Promo i'm a HUGE Aj.
MARK i feel like some of his stuff comes across
as a little bit hokey and a little bit too,
choreographed but otherwise it was good. STUFF i Love sammy's
ain't get involved with somebody. ELSE i would have loved
to have seen Carry across who was not. THERE i
would have been interested to see a lot of talents.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That were not.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
THERE i was kind of, surprised but all in, all
pretty good. Show no major, complaints that's for. Sure that's
all the time.
