wrestling noise? Proven fact. It's like cruising weight action in
your house is the perfect distraction pic your ears when
you intraction. You keep this work with some wrestling acts. Wow,
what is up? Guys? What is cracking is to come? Man,
I am in your house, and you guys already know
the vibe anytime we slide on through. We're here to

(00:45):
eat at work when it comes as professional wrestling business,
and guys, it has been on the mainstream national scale.
It's somewhat quiet weekend for wrestling. But you know, I
kept myself busy with some wrestling because I was out
and about doing my thing. As I returned ringside to

(01:07):
my man, my brother, my homie, that's the right handed
God Sam nine, and we came together and reunited. First
time I got a chance to manage him and in
about a year. It's been since the last time I
flanked him and was their ringside with him as I
made my debut at New Era Wrestling in Shelbyville, Indiana.
I'll talk a little bit more about that, but you know,

(01:28):
I was not alone in going there, and he doesn't
make many appearances on the show, but he made some
time in making appearance on this one. He is the
videoographer of In Your House and my son that is
Elijah Wan. He's coming to talk some New Era and
SmackDown as well. What's up, man?

Speaker 2 (01:49):

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh yeah, that was pretty fun. You know, got to
see a lot of people again, you know, obviously Sam,
some the Sands, whole bunch of people, and it was
just fun last night.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah. Yeah, it was a good night. And we'll talk,
Like I said, we're gonna talk a little bit more
about it because I've sent a video in the In
Your House chat last night of what me and Sam
was up to and my man over here he was
like beast Mode two thousand. He's the producer of the
show here. That is my man, the voice Josh Joseph.

(02:38):
What is up?

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Man?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
How goes it?

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Anytime Sam Knight's in a ring, you just got a
yahweh wowe because Sam Knight the big brother ofyh. He
just right handed God this dude. I mean, come on,
there's nothing else could say about Sam Knight. At least
you can't say anything negative about the dude. Such a
positive force in this world. Love the fact that he

(03:03):
did set down with you, that you got to be
with him in one of his last appearances, and that
stupid John Seena's taking away all of Sam Knight's thunder
with his farewell tour.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Two damn you, damn Sna, damn you Sena. But it's
it's like you said, voice, and like I said, I
talk a little bit about it. We do have to
talk about SmackDown as well. We do have a really
cool interview at the end of this episode. I got
a chance to sit down for a few minutes with Sam.
We talked about where he's at mentally. He is halfway

(03:36):
through his fare well tour, his retirement tour. He now
has eleven dates left, and man, I got a chance
to be a part of one of his last ones,
and that was great. I was glad we was able
to make that happen because it was a great night.
I had a lot of fun. But yeah, at the
end of this episode, we are going to play We're

(03:57):
going to play that interview. It was fun little one
over at Sam's merch tables. He was selling merch. We
actually had some guy coming in like trying to look
at his merch and Sam kind of had to back
him off just a little bit. He wasn't rude about
it or anything like that, but we were in mid interview,
so we just kind of tell he's like, yeah, I'll
get with you after I'm done with this interview. And

(04:18):
he came back and it was all fine and everything
like that. But yeah, we were really just out there
was a candid interview. We just did it right off
the cuff. It was fun. I enjoyed it. I cannot
wait for you guys to see it. But voice you
saw that video man of that spear from Sam and
how I was kind of like, come on, go get him,
go get him, man, And that was like one of

(04:39):
the first things I've done wrestling wise in like a
few months and one of the first Obviously, the first
thing I did was Sam in like a year. How
was you feeling, man? When I put that in there
and you saw we was back together again, bro.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
It brought back moments when I first seen you, yeah,
and all that and discovering Sam Knight. I heard about
him in many locker rooms that I was in at
that time, and once I finally got to see him,
it was awesome. It was everything that everybody said about him.

(05:12):
I got to witness him at HCW one time that
they brought him in a couple times after I'd done shows,
and to see it come back to moment in which
I first seen is I don't. It's one of those
things that it hits you differently because you're so close
to these guys that you know that that might be

(05:36):
one of the last times, but it was one of
the best times to see and to see your energy
and everything be about Sam in that moment. Like you said, man,
there is not enough good things you can say about
Sam Knight, like get a backup Semis, because there's compliments
coming out the ass on this one.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
For that.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Man, I just love everything Sam Knight stand for who
he is as a human who he is outside of
the ring. Follow him, be a part of him, because
Sam Knight is something everybody needs in their playlist and
their rolodex. Whatever you can get Sam Knight in, get
him in there.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, guys, not only just that, but the guy's just
so ridiculously smart about the business. Like I can't, I
cannot stress that enough. Like, like you said, man, everything
that you said, amazing human being, twenty year veteran in
the ring, well respected in any locker room he goes into.
But I just want to highlight that really really quickly,

(06:38):
Like most important thing is that he's an amazing human being.
But the encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of wrestling from him
and the way he looks at it, the way he
sees it, and then him being a twenty year vet
still getting in the gym still, you know, bumping, still

(06:59):
studying film twenty years in. Brother, you know just as
well as I do that we both know people that
are three or four years in the game. They stop training,
they stop going to the gym, they stop studying film,
they stop doing all that important key things that you
need to do to maintain and elevate your career. Sam

(07:20):
Knight twenty years in, about to call it quits. Still
doing it.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Bro, Bill, I still see morning workout videos, night videos.
It doesn't matter if Sam Knight's gotta work out, Sam
Knight's gonna work out, and it's usually inspirational and what
he says to you. The dude just starts every morning
off with that he loves us. Like can imagine that,
you know, just somebody just not even worrying about anything

(07:45):
besides the fact that he appreciates all of us for
appreciating him and just being us. Man, that you can't
you can't buy that. You cannot buy that type of friendship.
It's just it's so natural with the dude, Like I
miss Sam Knight. Hug that first one I ever got
from that dude. It's so it feels like a big
brother just loving the hell out of you for being you.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yep, that's Sam. Bro, that's straight up Sam. I mean
it was it was so it was just so good
to see him last night. Yah uh. And and Elijah
Won can attest to this. When I saw him, I
jumped in the man's arms. He caught me. I gave
him a huge hug.

Speaker 6 (08:22):
Man.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I love that dude, man, And it was a great
night there a new era wrestling in Chobyville, Indiana. I
got a chance to not only manage Sam, but I
got a chance to do backstage correspondence, interviewed some great talent,
man like you was saying, elijau Wan. There was a
lot of talent back there that was great. I mean
names like Anthony Toa Tally, names like Ashton Adonis, names

(08:44):
like the original Sins, Tyler Lyda on Me and Dick Michaels.
You know, just so much great talent. You got a
chance to be a part of that and see, you know,
the process being done. You see it all the time
and emerge, but you saw it at a different place
here at new era. How was a new era or
for you last night?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Man, it was something different, you know, Like I'm always
used to emerge, like all the all the environment of
like everybody that I usually see, like Lord Crew, Marty Bell,
people like that. But there there were some people that
I saw from emerge and there are some new people

(09:22):
that I saw, and I think it just made for
just a great experience to get to know more wrestlers,
to get more to know more people behind the scenes
and stuff like that. And I think it was just
a fun night overall.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, I definitely feel like that if you guys, you
guys out there in the household can get out if
you guys are in that Shelbyville, Indiana area. So if
you're around like Indianapolis or Columbus, Indiana or somewhere like that,
get out to one of those New Era shows. They
do a really great job. Shout out to Damian Michael Cole.
He does a great job. He wrestled Sam Knight last

(09:56):
night in that match. Check out my social media. You
could see it on my story on I or on
my Facebook of Sam Knight just spearing the absolute hell
out of Damien Michael Cole. I mean, you had me
egging him on, which has always been me and Sam's
thing is that I'm the little devil on his shoulder.
You know that that brings out that other side of him.
And he'll tell you. He will tell you that Sam

(10:17):
is And I'll tell you now, Sam's an incredible wrestler,
But man, damn, when me and him get together, it's
something different, man, because he'll tell you this is not
me just saying this to put myself over. I'm telling
you what he will tell you that I pull something
different out of him, a different edge, a different grit,
And I love that, man. I love that I can
be his Hayman Man. That is that That's always the

(10:41):
best feeling for me when I watch those videos and
I know I can. I'll never reach the elevation of
a Paul Hayman, but damn it, man, for a night,
for a moment, I feel like I'm Paul Hayman, and
last night I felt like that being a manager and
helping out backstage, helping the production go well, and that's

(11:03):
such a key part man. And you know how I
am about haman voice, so you know, I get a
chance to have those moments, they are great.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Oh, I can only imagine Elijah and your Daddy had
nipples could cut glass at that moment.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
He was excited.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, he was in his bag. And you know what, honestly,
if I could say for that exactly what you're talking
about the Hayman moments, anybody out there, go back and
watch the Destination six with Sam Knight as the champion
and House coming out there and propping him up. Destination
six was some of your guys's best work together that

(11:38):
I've ever seen. It was like they gave you guys
the keys to the playground, and you guys ran with
it and every kid got to play on everything, and
it was just some magical work. I mean, if we
could give awards for indies, that would definitely that whole
storyline out of Destination six would get one of the
top storylines of the year.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 7 (12:01):
Man is magnificent.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Thank you. It was.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Man, I'm getting emotional over here because I'm thinking, you know,
only eleven dates left for Sam and Man, it's just
crazy to think that everything that me and him did
back in twenty twenty one in twenty twenty two and then,
like you said, Destination six or you ret it, have
it on that promotion and the story that we told there. Man,
what a good time, man. So I was glad we

(12:24):
was able to get together last night. Please guys stick
around with us and check out the interview at the
end of the episode. It was really good. It was
very candid and and like he always is, Sam was
very honest and real and open about everything that he's
you know, dealing with in this farewell tour. Not like

(12:45):
in a bad way, but in an emotional way, in
a spiritual way in a you know, realizing that the
end is near a way, and I just respect the
hell out of that man because the real, raw, openness
like you. Once again, if you guys followed me on
social media. If you don't, it's whatever. But for me,
calling somebody a real one is one of the highest

(13:08):
of compliments, highest of honors so to me. To me,
it might be different for somebody else, But for me,
if you were real, honest, raw and open, that's one
of the highest compliments that I give you. So I
have no problem saying that Sam Knight is in fact
a real one. And I think you guys are gonna
most definitely enjoy this interview at the end of the episode.

(13:30):
But we got to get to you guys out there
in the household, you mainstream household members that love it one, myself,
voice and anybody in the crew talk about WW or
ae W and whatnot. We got to talk about SmackDown
our guy on SmackDown that covers all things, SmackDown our
guy grun he's under the weather. I don't know what happened,

(13:52):
if it was too many Philly girls that he was
dealing with, but he's under the weather, right now, man,
So I I'm gonna cover things that went down on SmackDown.
And then once I do that, of course I gotta
get the opinions of my guys here, the Voice and
Elijah on the Big Walk here, and we're gonna talk

(14:13):
oh yes, oh yeah, and we're gonna talk all things SmackDown.
The SmackDown was an interesting one. It started with like
a multi car pile up that involved the mL the MFTs,
which is of course Solo so CooA and J C.
Matteo and and Talatonga and Tongaloa and whoever else, all

(14:36):
those dog on tall samoans and big BF samoans. Man,
but all we got grun in the chat here, hold on,
let me bring it up, he said, is the combination
of the Philly girls and busting my buttt work trying
to get new opportunities. Hell yeah, man, but you need
to calm down on those Philly girls grun. I count
but no, get your rest man. We appreciate you.

Speaker 8 (14:57):
Well, it's just factually inaccurate on so many different levels.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't understand why you wrote it like that.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
You think it's just the Philly girls. It's just the
Philly girls. Isn't it.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right. So so back to SmackDown. Like I said,
we had, we had all that going down. This segment
was weird to me. I'll talk more about it when
we kind of break things down and get to that point.
But we saw the continuation of the We're Not Friends
group between Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss as Charlotte Flair

(15:29):
had a one on one match with Raquel Rodriguez, Andreide
and Ray Phoenix become Number one contenders in a great
match there with d I Y. A lot of things
went down as far as SmackDown, none more big than
the Cody Rhoads and John Cena brawl during the contract
signing and how it went down. Like I said, I'm

(15:50):
just breaking down the key points here. We're gonna break
it down right about now because I want to give
it to Alajuwon here. What was some of your biggest
memorable moments or the biggest memorable moment from this Friday SmackDown.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think a memorable moment was kind of just seeing
that different side of Cody, you know, like seeing that
different side where he kind of like took a certiveness
he hit him with the title. He made him sign
the whole thing like I was like, oh okay, Cody.
Then he then he did the whole splash to the table.

(16:27):
I was like, are we gonna get a double turn
at Summer Slam or something like that, and we're also
getting a street fight at SummerSlam.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
I'm not expect that.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, me neither.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, it was. It was most definitely interesting to see
him fly off the ropes like that the way that
he did. Because I think you were watching it and
you were like, when was the last time you seen
Cody really like get on the top rope like I
know he does his springboard stuff, like he does the
springboard stuff really well, but you don't really see him
like get on the top rope like that. So yeah,

(17:03):
I would see why that would be a memorable moment.
But voice you checked it out, SmackDown, what were your
thoughts on it? Man?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Uh, SmackDown. Overall, it was a good one. This specific moment,
I loved it. I I honestly, I'm with Alajuan. I
think there's going to be a double turn at Summerson.
I think even though I've been advocating that Sina should
go out as heel because I'm absolutely in love with

(17:34):
heel Sina. I think it's fantastic. I could I could
see how this is. And I'm going to use an
old person term alajauon best for business, putting him back,
letting him go out his face interesting though this weekend, Elajuan,
I know you're a young person. You're out there on

(17:55):
the clickety clacks the interwebs. Uh did you happen to
see Cody where carrying the Rocks glasses that he wore,
the sunglasses and there's also a bracelet that has some
symbolism that Cody has been seen wearing when he was
leaving and out this weekend. So what does that mean?

(18:18):
Does that mean we get Cody joining forces with the
Rock and becoming corporate Cody? Is that what we're getting?
Because that could be interesting and that could be a
lot of fun. We had a lot of fun when
Seth went corporate, when he broke away from one of
the biggest groups ever thought of, ever constructed. And now

(18:43):
there's a chance that America's baby boy, Cody. You know,
the old plummer here was an old plummer. You know
his daddy was a plumba the olajah Loong he was,
and he became one of the best wrestlers ever to
do it, not because he was the most athletic in
the ring, but because he was the most charismatic. I'm

(19:04):
excited for this overall SmackDown, though for what they've been
putting on, what has been going on. I enjoyed this SmackDown.
It wasn't in my face the fact that we got
Andre Day and Ray Phoenix together, like I've been saying
since we found out. Now, all we need to do
is ands to that mix and we got a fucking

(19:25):
faction that is just gonna be fantastic. But I'm excited
to see where SmackDown is next week, what we get
and possibly who knows what happens on the next SmackDown.
Could we get another person popping up. There's talks of
a lot of people possibly coming to WWE.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh yeah, there is. There is a lot of talk.
We talked about that on another episode that was I
think that might have been last week that we talked
about that. As far as some of the big signings,
and grun is in the chat he's saying, this has
turned up the interest in SummerSlam, and I agree with you, Grun.
I most definitely do for me, for me SmackDown, and

(20:09):
once again, I'm going to get back to the whole
like car wreck thing and what happened with Solo, which
I think Solo is is just brilliant. He's doing some
of the like, hands down, some of the best work
of his career while simultaneously being the United States Champion.
That guy has figured it out for somebody that we've

(20:30):
went back and forth about a lot, He's figured it out.
And I'm definitely gonna talk about that. But I want
to go back to something I've been really studying a
lot as it's it's been created and as we put
this together, and damn it, that's Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
I mean, what's happening here. It's I can't ignore it.

(20:51):
Like the narrative for me is changing on Charlotte Flair actively,
like while we speak, it is changing. And I think
I think that I'm standing on business here. I think
this is a woman that has been humbled. I think
this is a woman who has had to check her ego,
and I think that this is a woman who now
understands what she has to do to organically get over

(21:15):
with the crowd. Why do I say that, because it's happening.
It's happening in front of our very eyes. And also
another thing, I'm glad Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair didn't
win the tag titles at Evolution. I'm glad because now
we have more time to let this story between these
two marinate, that this relationship find that chemistry and deem it.

(21:38):
I'm not just gonna say how amazing Charlotte Flair is
by just really doing what she does in the ring.
I'm gonna talk about the ability that Alexa Bliss has
to bring something out of other talent. She really is
just somebody, just a sounding board, somebody that you can
bounce off of, and she's gonna bring something different out

(21:58):
of you. She just does. Alexa Bliss is really proving
why she really is one of the one of the
most top talents in the WWE. Well, I think I
said when we were watching SmackDown, I said, she kind
of is in a way beginning to remind me of
like a female Miz, because one of the mizzistrinks is

(22:20):
that you can put anybody with the Miz and Miss
is somebody perfect you could bounce off of and he's
going to elevate you just by bringing a different side
out of you through promos. I think Alexa Bliss is
doing that with Charlotte Flair. I think she's done that
with the likes of Nikki Cross. I think that she
has a history of showing that if you give her somebody,

(22:41):
she can bring something out of them. I stand firm
and what I say when I say that these two
once they get through the issues, and you know, and
we're gonna see it on screen, We're gonna see them
fighting and arguing and fussing with each other, but once
they get it all figured out, I do think that
the ceiling of a Lexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair could

(23:02):
possibly be Rated the female Rated RKO Edge and Randy
Orton from back in the day. Two already established world champions.
I know I've said this on the show before, two
established world champions, one of them a very established tag
team wrestler. They come together and they just make magic. Now,
Rated RKO didn't get the time you know that they

(23:23):
probably could have had and become more memorable, But from
the time they were together, they were dangerous and I
just liked the idea of Charlotte Flair in Alexa Bliss
finally getting on the same page and just running a
rough shot, just running rough shot through the women's division.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
I mean they're putting in the work, they're doing exactly
what they're supposed to do. I would like to see though,
when this turn eventually happens, that it's Alexa Bliss and
not Charlotte that turns, Yeah, because I think you're going
to get more natural sympathy for Arlotte if that happens

(24:01):
in that way, you're just going to turn her into
a bowlie. If she does the.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Turning, she's got to stay faced for a while. Now
they finally figured out how to get her to face exactly.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
And Uh that that's.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Like you know house from all the old wrestling we've watched. Uh,
that's the flair bag. That's what we need to be
with Flair. When the entire fans are behind him, that's
when well, that's when he could buy the jets and
the Rolexes and everything. When he was hated, not too
many people were purchasing Rick Flair shit. And now he

(24:38):
just sets in bars and ships himself and doesn't tip.
So you know, so there the world comes full circle
in Rick Flair's world. But I will give credit where
credit is due in these two women. Although I have
critique them in the past highly I I see you doing.
I understand what they're doing, and it it deserves an

(25:00):
applause for what they're doing because they are. They are
hitting on all cylinders, every little bit of things that
we've critiqued throughout anybody's career. These two have seen it
and they are going above and beyond with the little things,
the backstage stuff, the pom pom stuff, Charlotte throwing it

(25:22):
in the air and Alexa looking at her hit the
camera catching that, and then the walking backstage where she's like,
you know, like what the fuck it was a pom
pom and Alexa blitz that meant something to her. So
you know, we're getting an age old story told here.
And they they found their puzzle piece, they know where

(25:43):
they fit in the overall picture, and they're doing it.
It's it's what they're supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I like what you said when you said they're telling
an age old story because to me mentally, it's like,
this is an easy to digest story that works. You
don't gotta over complicate it. You're telling the story of
Charlotte's ego being humbled, and She's like, Okay, maybe I
do need friends, Maybe I do need to accept help.

(26:12):
Maybe I need to stop coasting off my name. Maybe
I need to And I still feel like we're going
to see a more feminine version of Charlotte, see her
be a little bit more vulnerable, see her be a
little bit We need to see that because like we
all we've seen her is just be the line jumping,

(26:32):
super powerful in ring performer. And like I'll be the
first to tell you, like I me and voice, but
I can only I can speak for myself because I
take responsibility for the things that I say. I critique
the ever loving hell out of her. I was not
happy with her work. I was not happy with the

(26:53):
direction of her character. I thought that she froze up
when she returned after she won the Royal Rumble. I
was just like, I was like, how much more? How
much more do we have left in the tank for Charlotte.
That was exactly where I was at about two months
ago now after Evolution, after I saw that insane barrage

(27:15):
of offense that she delivered when she finally got the
hot tag and she went for about four or five
minutes just straight wrecking everybody without stopping. And I was like,
my god, the woman's like I know, I've been critiquing her,
but she's got a motor on her because she was
just going and going and going and going, and Elija

(27:36):
Won was there, I was like, my god, when when's
somebody gonna cut her off? Like when is somebody going
to cut her off? Because she just keeps going. But
I've just been I've been so enamored with what she's
been doing since they started this tag team, and I
just I have high hopes for it. I really do.
But I gotta ask you, Elija, on where are you
at currently with this budding tag team of Flair and Bliss.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Honestly, I think it's very interesting because I mean I've
been saying it since, like I think it was around
the Row rumballs like Charlotte Flair and they need to
find a way to get Charlotte Flair faced. That's that
that's gonna be the best way where people get behind
her and she starts getting interesting again. And then they

(28:23):
definitely signed a way to get Alexa Bliss to kind
of this this whole Oh well, we're just allies type
of thing, and now it's kind of starting to work.
So I think it's brought a level of interest to
Charlotte Flair that I don't think the fans have ever
been able to connect to like before.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. It is a way
for them to connect. I definitely feel it because like
I and and here's the thing, She's been telling us
what she wants to do. She hasn't been quiet about it.
If you if you see headlines about her interviews or
like and I'm not talking about like backstage interviews. I'm

(29:05):
talking about like candid podcast or her as Ashley, her
as her and talking about the Charlotte character. She's been
saying that she's been wanting to do this, that she's
been wanting to humanize herself, that she wants to show
more Ashley. I like what Grun said, I believe last
week when he said maybe she should change to Ashley,
maybe she should be Ashley. I don't know if they

(29:25):
do that because Charlotte is such an established name, but
I like the idea. I like the idea because, like
I love Charlotte the in ring performer. I think we're
all like in a spot where we're like, all right, listen,
we know she you know, we know who she is
as an entering performer, but every time we see her,

(29:48):
it's just jumping ahead of the line. She's in the
title match for the world title, and yeah, the match
is gonna deliver, but the story falls short. I think, finally, finally,
after all this time, and and you know, it is.
It is what it is. It is what it is,
y'all like, and we've said it on the show before
a million times because we have a lot of people,
a lot of creators on this channel that are very

(30:11):
storyline driven. And do we love five star amazing incredible
feats of athleticism and cardio like you've never seen before,
and flips in mattwork and submissions in striking. We love
all of that, ladies and gentlemen. But here's the thing.
If the story falls flat, you're never gonna get five

(30:35):
stars out of me. You're never I promise you. There
is not a match on this planet where the story
fell short and they had an amazing match that I
would give a five star to. I just won't. That's
just me. You could say what you want, but that's
just me because I believe that the story matters, and
I think that finally, that is what we're getting from

(30:57):
Charlotte Flair, is that she's having to face some adversity,
She's having to have that come to Jesus moment that
I have to be more than my name, I have
to be more than my last name. And now we're
seeing it now. I do believe that somebody who I
said this came out of my mouth two months ago,

(31:18):
that I thought Charlotte Flair was washed. Now I feel
like we have an opportunity to see some of the
best Charlotte Flair work because she's finally checked your ego.
She's finally come off that pedestal. She's finally understood that
you can only go so far with your name. Yes,
you can use your name to get to a certain point,

(31:39):
but the rest of the work is on you. And
I think in my mind, I don't know this for sure.
I'm not in those locker rooms, I'm not BACKSTAGEWW. But
everything that I'm seeing, I feel like she finally is
starting to understand that.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
No, I agree with you, I mean like you said,
I mean two months ago, we were ready to put
her on the dark sh shows and we were like, hey, you.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Know what, maybe it's time for a Legends contract.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, exactly. And it's sad
to say, but that's where we were. But honestly, it's
great to see though that she she heard the critique,
she knew what her game plan was, and they put
her in a place where she was able to execute
this at the highest rate. I mean, two months after
what we were saying. We're praising her and saying this

(32:33):
is where you need to be. And Elijah Wan called
it before she even turned it, and he's correct, this
is where she needs to be. But when you come
into a ring, and I know everyone on this panel
can agree with me, when you come into the spotlight
and you tell everybody this is how I'm going to
do it, this is what I'm going to do, and

(32:55):
we don't buy it, You're not going to ever get
out of that light you're going to have. And it's
a it's a big hole that you've dug for yourself,
and I'm looking at you, Angel Rees and soon, once
all of it connects, you will pull yourself out of
it and people will be looking at you in the
proper light Charlotte is doing that. I have no doubt

(33:18):
in my mind she's going to be on back on
the top of the women's division in the next few months.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah. I mean, when I think about the character work
that is happening right now and the in ring ability,
I can't disagree with you. I think she'll be right
where she needs to be just in about a few
months time. If she stays on this trajectory and telling
this story, then once she gets back into that title opportunity,

(33:49):
we believe you.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah, we believe now we understand.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Like, like you didn't just jump in from the line.
You earned your keep, and now we're like, all right,
come on, let's go, Charlotte, let's do it. I want
to see it. That's what you have to do.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
And that's when you get the the you deserved it.
Chance that you.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Don't get to tell us that we have to tell
you that you deserve it. You don't get exactly get
to tell us that. We tell y'all us, the fans
tell you, guys the talent when you deserve it. Okay,
So like that's just how it goes. You don't get
to tell us when unless you're a here, you know,
unless you're a hell. You know what I'm saying. Then

(34:29):
it's like, if you're telling me to tell us to
tell you that you deserve it as a heel, then
of course we're gonna just shit kick you. I mean,
we're get that's and that's what you want. That's what
you want. But if you're trying to organically, for real,
honestly tell us that we need to tell you that
you deserve it, that's not gonna slide. I promise you
it's not gonna slide. But let's transition real quick, because

(34:52):
let's talk about we went from one talent that we
have been super critical on for the last three or
four months. Let's talk about a talent we've been critical
about for the last like one to two years, and
that's Solo Socoa. Solo My god. I will say this.
I was not absolutely in love with the whole car

(35:15):
pile up segment. I thought it was a little confusing
and disjointed in some ways. I just didn't get it.
What we're leading to now is Jacob Fatuo versus Solo
so CooA in a still cage match at SummerSlam for
the United States Championship. I think that's gonna be a
lot of fun I really do. But let me stay
with Solo real quick, because Solo is really doing some

(35:37):
amazing character work and I mean it like I just
mean it. This is a guy who when he was
the enforcer of the Bloodline, he had to stay stoic.
He couldn't like even when Sammy Zay was doing his
funny segments. Solo had to do whatever he could to
not break because his character was to stand there and
look like a menacing badass, which in that time he

(35:59):
did it and it was fine. But when it was time,
oh yeah, yeah, he lost it. There, he lost it
there he can only you can listen. Sammy was on
such a different level at that point. Is that you
had to be like a man of steel, not to
break like like you had. You had to be he

(36:20):
was because Sammy was on such a different level. I
love that version of Sammy Zaying. But but Solo so
CoA has really really found himself with this comedic role,
with this leader of men that he's established himself to be.
I want to get your guys to start starting with
the Lajawan. Where are you at with Solo so CoA

(36:40):
and what are some of your thoughts on this upcoming
steel cage match between him and Jacob Fatu at SummerSlam.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
You know, it's very interesting because, you know, I just
thought it was just gonna be a normal match, But
it seems like the thing that they're trying to do
at Summersime is Okay, well we only had three weeks
about it up. Okay, here's the stipulation like they're doing
with the scene of thing. But I think for this
it works because I think, well, first I'm just I

(37:11):
was kind of confused with the whole car pile up thing.
I thought there was gonna be a payoff to that.
Like honestly, I thought I thought that Tom Mactongo is
gonna return.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Or something like that.

Speaker 7 (37:21):
But yeah, yeah, but they.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Just did kind of a confusing segment. But still I
think it just it works for these two to be
in a cage because of the story they've driven over
the past like year however long that Jacob fa two
has been in the Bloodline, and I think this is
gonna be a phenomenal match. They had a pretty good
match at Night A Champions, and I don't I'm not

(37:46):
sure if the move is just to put the title
back on Jacob Fatuo or to keep it on Solo
have them have a better run. But I'm interested to
see on how they have each of them win because
I know with still cage matches it's weird because they
could just escape where they could just pin them like,
so I'm I'm also interested to see how they actually

(38:09):
win the match too.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's gonna be a very interesting match.
Voice you're somebody else that like myself, we've had many
conversations about so Solo so CoA, like former in your
House guest Solo so CoA. The like the mentions that
he's had on this podcast is ridiculous, is because like
we're like, where what's his ceiling? What is the ceiling

(38:32):
of Solo? So it keeps changing, we don't know, But
now what we do know is that he's going to
be defending the United States Championship in a still cage
against Jacob Fa. To Jacob FA two uh you.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
Know he was.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
He was once again, like I said, the segment was
confusing because they had a car pile up. Then they
said that Solo or I'm sorry Jacob was a person
of interest in this, and then I'm like why, like what,
why was he person of interest, and then they came
back and said, oh, well, I guess you weren't a
person of interest. And then you had the corny security guard.

(39:07):
It was like, well, I guess you weren't the guy
you can go on about your business. And I'm like, dude,
come on, you can't act any better than that. That
was just like and then like, then, why why did
Solo get arrested? Did he get arrested for a false report?
Why did he get I don't understand why he got arrested,
But once again, I want to know your thoughts. Voice
on the segment on Solo and this match.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Well, first again, I got to give credit where credit
is due because fans, we're gonna pull back the curtain
a little bit. Solo has been a discussion in our
chats that actually started a legit argument inside in your
house backstage. He was correct all along. You got to

(39:51):
give Paragon credit where credit is due. He was correct
with Solo from the word Solo socola because he called
this and said that watch you guys, just watch He's
going to turn into exactly what you're you're talking about.
You just got to give him time to cook, and
he did He's turned into what we were wanting him

(40:12):
to be. Solo's hitting on so many cylinders right now.
It's it's ridiculous that there's so much talent that just
keeps coming off this tree of just big samoans. I mean,
the fact that this tree even exists holding this many
samoans is amazing. And the fact that Solo has again

(40:34):
heard what other people are saying. I love Solo on
panels when he's doing an interview before a show, after
a show, wild Solo is one of my favorite things
because he just says shit that a little brother would say. Yeah,
and it's fantastic. I love I love where he's going.
Now we're getting into him versus okay, and we've been

(40:59):
huge on Jacob here. Jacob has when he stepped on
the scene, we all got it. We all understood here
at IYH what Jacob's there to do. And there's nothing
negative I can say about Jacob. His His interaction with
the cops played into his background, which gave more people
looking him up understanding that maybe you can make some

(41:22):
bad choices in your past, but look where you can
be right now, where you're basically calling the police a
bunch of punks and you fucking hate them. You can
say that on national team while jacobat and you don't
get hit. So great for him. I love, I love
the actual human story behind Jacob and who he is.

(41:43):
But they're going into a steel cage match now, Elajuan,
this is an old man match. I know this will
probably be kind of dorky to you, but this these
two in this match can give us those old matches
with like Harley Race inside of steel cage, Rick Flair
bleeding everywhere, Like Rick Flair used to bleed like a pig.

Speaker 7 (42:06):
Yeah, and it was insane.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
And people loved it because there was a sense of
you wanted to make Flair bleed. And I think right
in where they're going inside a steel cage with the
amount of projected hatred towards each other, one has stolen
everything that somebody has worked so hard to get because
the same goal was for the other guy, but he

(42:32):
just couldn't get it. Jacob came on the scene and
stole all the spotlight to everybody in that family. And
I love how they're playing on this. This is I'm
I'm just a dumb fish out in the ocean getting
hooked on everything they're throwing out with these two.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Man. I I gotta say this because I was thinking
about it as you were talking. I feel like I'm
I feel like I'm at a point where I'm ready
to call Solo one of the peelers of do w's
mid card.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
You wouldn't be that far off with it.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
I mean, he closed the show as United States Champion,
like last week, not this past Friday, but last week.
And what they're doing, I mean, they started out the
show with once again. Didn't love the segment, but they tried.
And they started off the show with the car pile up,
and you know, the reasoning behind that was so disjointed,
but they tried. They're trying to make the mid card

(43:28):
something special, you know, and center things around Solo in
that United States Championship. I do think that at some
point we got to get to a point where Solo
and Jacob need to do something else away from each other,
like because it's like Elija Won said, if they just
like flip flopped the title, then it's like, all right,
then we're going between Jacob and Solo, you know. And

(43:49):
I think that I think there does need to come
a point where Jacob needs to go on to bigger
and better things. But with John Cena really, like you know,
he is the main event right now, like and he
should be at least until he's done. You know, he
should be the main event everything that he's doing. So

(44:10):
for me to say that between him, Cody or whatever
third will it is, whether it be Seth Rollins, maybe
that could happen. Those are really your only three choices
for the ww Championship right now, because nobody else is
gonna be believable enough at this point, because like it's
just it's just at a point where it's so top

(44:31):
heavy with Sina, with with Cody and then who else,
you know what I'm saying. They tried seeing Punk I
just like I said, the seeing Punk going to Saudi
Arabia thing just fell super flat for me. It is
what it is. But like here's the thing, And oh,
we got our guy Sam in the chat. He came
and joined us. If you check out earlier in the show, Bro,

(44:53):
we really gushed about you, Bro, And we're playing the
interview right after this episode that we did at New Wrestling.
But he says, let's talk about last year and how
Solo was having bangers with Cody Dog has always been
a star, and you're right, we see it now. We
see it now. It was just the build man, it
was how they were because I think you can agree

(45:16):
Sam that that Solo was being put in main event
like roles for a while there as the leader of
the Bloodline, and they never pulled the trigger on him
by putting the title on him or letting him get
like a super big win as the leader of the Bloodline. Yes,
I know he's had victories, like he pretty much destroyed

(45:38):
John Cena as the enforcer of the Bloodline, but that
was then. That was a different Solo. We're talking about
the Solo from now, and like I think, like I
think that conversations about Solo are gonna continue. I don't
think that's gonna stop. But I think that the reason
why is because we're gonna start to really start gushing

(45:58):
about his work, even now after he's been such a
critical topic of conversation for the last couple of years
within IY eight circles. So yeah, I think that I
think that match is gonna be good. I think it's
gonna be fun of fun still cage match. I'm looking
forward to it. SummerSlam Weekend is gonna be a big one.
We got a lot of matches set, including Cody versus

(46:21):
John Cena and that's gonna be a street fight. We're
gonna talk about that. We also have new number one
contendents for the Tag Team Championships, Ray Phoenix and Andrede. We're
gonna talk about that. A J Styles is gonna be
a TNA Slam reversary. That's gonna be interesting. We're gonna
talk all about that. On the other side of the break, guys,

have things to talk about on SmackDown Wrestling keeps on
going and I absolutely love it because yowi wowie. We've

(49:33):
got a big main event for SummerSlam that is set
now and that's a street fight. But before we get there,
I want to talk about something that I want to
really give this to Voice real quick because Ray Phoenix
and Andrade they are now the number one contenders for
the Wyatt Sixes Tag Team Championship. And the reason that

(49:55):
I wanted to give this to you exclusively Voice is
for two reasons. One, you have been calling for Andrade
and Ray Phoenix to come together and start something big here,
and now not only are they coming together, they're actually
doing something relevant by getting an opportunity for the Tag
Team Championships. So it's a group that you have not

(50:19):
only formulated in your mind and and and has come
to and now they're getting opportunities. They're going up against
the second reason why I wanted to give this to you,
and that is a group that you used to love
but now you have absolute disdain for. In the Wyatt Six,
this match man between something that you've that you've enjoyed

(50:43):
to see in its culmination and the something that you've
hated to see what it's become. Where you at with this,
you know, coming collision between these two teams.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
I think this is gonna be a good match. I
don't think they're going to give Andrada and Eni the titles.
It would seem kind of why would you make the
Wyatt six just transitional champions? That makes no sense, especially
when they have been forcing them down our throats for
so long now, I mean ever since Bo got back,

(51:19):
it's been not a tribute group. But then not even
taken away from anything that makes it why we call
it a tribute group. You still continue on those roads,
but like Grun tells me all the time, I just
need to get over it because that's where they're going
with it, and he's right. He's one right on that.

(51:40):
I love what Andrade and Ray Phoenix do in a ring.
I love the Lucha door style that they bring, the
new I would call it actually new Age Luca because
these guys. Ray Phoenix is so innovative as of now.
And then you have Andrade who brings the old classic
style of wrestling as a whole. I mean, Andrede is

(52:04):
so crisp and clean in a ring. These two do
have a couple of little flaws, but that's nothing that
time won't fix with each other. The more they get
more with each other, have more time and do things,
it's going to seem a little more fluid with them.

(52:25):
Outside of that, I could see these guys getting the
titles maybe after there's a possibility of Penta joining up
with them. There's an idea of draft coming up, or
when are they When are they officially going to do

(52:45):
the draft?

Speaker 1 (52:46):
If they do it for this year, at this point,
it would have to be after SummerSlam, Yeah, because I
thought they were going to do one after WrestleMania and
they didn't, So now it seems like the prime time,
the prime opportunity to do it. If you're gonna do
a draft would be after SummerSlam, because SummerSlam is like
that other It's like that other reset, like how WrestleMania

(53:09):
we do that reset after WRESTLEMANI we do a reset,
we see new factions, new people getting pushed and stuff
like that. SummerSlam is another opportunity for that. But what
I want to bring to the table was this. I
like what grun is saying because I kind of agree
and drade in Phoenix getting a title shot seems too early.
I don't know if. I mean, I guess they would
have been cool. I just what are we doing with

(53:30):
What are we doing with the Wyatts here? Man? Because
like if if Phoenix and Androde win the titles, which
I don't think that they will, but let's just say
for a second they do. I mean, you pretty much
admit it. You gave up on the Wyatts experience, right,
Like why would they Why would it at least in

(53:51):
tag right, because like why would you do that? I mean,
I just I just don't know. But like I where
you were talking about like bringing pent into the group,
something that came to my mind and I was like, man,
this would be really great if they did do the
draft and Penta did come over. If they really don't
have uh, you know, anything else to do with pent
if they're not going to keep them in the main

(54:12):
event on Monday Night Row, which is what they're doing
with them right now. What if you have Andrede, Ray
Phoenix and Penta and a faction together and uh, they
win the tag titles and and they defend them with
you know, like New Day rules, you know, free bird rules.
You know.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
I'm surprised they haven't gone that route. Yeah right, I mean, honestly,
if if I'm looking at that group for the tag
my tag team, in that group, I'm picking uh uh
Loomis and Redbeard.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Those are those are who are the two behemoths?

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Yeah, That's who I would have. Because you're yours trying
to set a monster esque story aligned with these guys,
why not put in your two biggest monsters. I mean,
Joe Gacy can go. I would love to see Joe
Gacy in the you know, mid card. Him going up

(55:12):
against Solo would be amazing. Him going up against Jacob
would be a great match, you know, yeah, exactly, And
that would have Nicky Cross out there in a fucking ring.
Why do you know that Nicky Cross in a ring?
What are we waiting for? Is she waiting for Annabelle

(55:33):
to come out and tell her book booky Boom?

Speaker 1 (55:37):
What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (55:38):
I don't know, man, I just why do you not
have bo Dallas in a ring? We just look at him. Oh,
there's there's his rocking chair. You want to talk about,
old man. There's your old man, Elajuan. He's in a
goddamn rocking rocking chair and he needs a lantern to
come out there and see until they turn on the

(55:59):
line because his old eyes don't work so good down by.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Man, I just wanted to bring this up real quick
because we got our guy night Wing. He said, what's
up everyone, Hope you're having a good weekend. We are.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Night Wing was just a part of our ECW Watch Along,
part two of nineteen ninety nine November. To remember that
was such a fun episode. And I'll let you know,
just being transparent, night Wing, me and me and Voice
talked you up really like real big time. After that.
You had a really great conversation and we appreciate you
for somebody who told us. And when we went off

(56:33):
the air, that was the first time that you'd ever
been on a podcast. I couldn't tell, Bro, because you
were very awesome and we appreciated what you brought to
the podcast, and yeah, we'll definitely have you on again.
But uh, man, I it's they're doing weird stuff with
the tag team division for really no reason. I mean like,
I mean, like really no reason. It's just so weird

(56:56):
to me because it's like you had this tag team
division and voice. You know how how hyper sensitive I've
been about this tag team division over on SmackDown, is
like you got one of the best tag team divisions
I've seen in years in years, man, So like, what
what's the point of bringing the wyts in here? Can't

(57:16):
they just go haunt somebody or do something, go be
scary somewhere. Let let the let the best tag teams
in the entire planet go up against each other for
those titles. I don't get it, Like another thing like
this is just a side complaint for me. Why is
Breaker and why is Breaker and Reading not going for

(57:37):
the tag titles over on WRAW I don't understand, Like
they could easily get them.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
You know what I'm saying, Like, why wouldn't you just
take them? Just like come on, just exactly you're trying
to build up an ultimate group, throw some gold in there.
I know, Seth got injured.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
And we're pivoting and through that.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Okay, I still think that's a giant work and we
can all fall for it because it's fun. But outside
of that, get gold in this group already, right.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Like, come on, this tag team division is so wide
open that Bronson Bronson, Reid could just Bronson and uh
Bron Breaker could just literally just be like in the gym, Bro.
They could be a planet fitness or something, just working out.
And then you know, maybe uh maybe uh Reid comes
up and takes his headphones off and be like, hey, hey, Bron, Yeah,

(58:33):
what's what's up?

Speaker 4 (58:33):
Man?

Speaker 1 (58:34):
What's up? You know, would be a real cool idea.
What's that?

Speaker 8 (58:38):
If we just took the tag time? It was like, yeah,
who's gonna stop us? Like you know what, you know what,
who who's gonna stop us? Let's go like, let's go
talk to Pierce like, bro, just do it, you can,
so just go do it?

Speaker 1 (58:53):
Why not just be dominant? You know what I'm saying.
That's that's just me. I just think I mean, elijahon
is that's something that you would like to see.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
I mean, I think it would build more of like
a big face tag team to like beat them. And
what night Wing's saying, I mean, like let's say. I
mean I think they could bring like the motor City
machine Guns the Raw. I think that's the way that

(59:22):
they could try to they could try to rebuild, because
like the MotorCity machine Guns are doing a whole lot
on SmackDown right now. I mean they're just kind of
either taking pins or just kind of being kind of
like a place holder in the tag team division. And
I think it's just like, yeah, yeah, they're still having

(59:45):
great matches, but I think they've ran their course. But
on SmackDown that is, yes, yes, And I think if
they're on Raw, they could have imagine Motor City machine
guns to get judged. Me that would be a great
Oh yeah, I can only I can only imagine how
good that would be. And if the goal isn't to

(01:00:06):
have Judgment Day have this long, lengthy run, just have
them drop it to like Braun and Bronson, because Judgment
Day has been kind of getting cheered and running face
a little bit. I mean, obviously they've been doing the
heel actions, but I mean, they're still getting cheers and
you could have a big heel beat them, So I mean,

(01:00:26):
why not?

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Yeah, yeah, I just I like the idea of Breaker
and uh, I like the idea of Breaker and Bronson Reed.
Just taking those titles and then, like we talk about how,
you know, how we ain't really feeling the raw tag
team division and the titles don't seem to mean anything.
You put it on those two behemoths, and then everybody
has to try to struggle and do whatever they can

(01:00:49):
to try to take the titles off them. That's how
you do it. That's how you make the tag team
titles feel important. You put it on two behemoths that
are flanked by the best manager in the game right
now and that are doing main events storyline things, and
you see those titles and main event storylines all the time.
That's how you fix those titles and make them presentable.

(01:01:11):
I'm calling for it now. If you got if they
do it, you heard it here first. I am petitioning
and putting out there, bron Breaker, Bronson Reed, new Raw
Tag Team Champions. Make it happen, Make it happen. We
got our guy og Tony. In the chat, he says hey, guys,

(01:01:32):
and then he says he is late. What do you
think of Summer Slam so far? I'll give my thoughts
and then I'll let you because we got a little
bit of a little time to feel before we talk
about the main event to SmackDown and then TNA Slamer
versus we were graised a little bit over that. With
the time that they have, Tony, I think they've been
doing a solid job. They only got another week. They've

(01:01:53):
already made a street fight, They've already gave us a
cage match, They've already gave us a solid Women's Enter
Continent championship. That set uh, that's set up. We're getting
seeing punk versus a gun through. I think they understand
this is how this has to be a big build.
I do think that there is a reality where this
seth Rollins injury is a big work. Maybe he did

(01:02:15):
hurt something at at Night of champions Maybe he did
hurt something, but I wouldn't put it past him to
be like, oh, he could be out four to five
months and it was just maybe like a stinger or
something minor or something, and they're like, Okay, now we're
gonna do a thing where everybody's gonna think you're injured,
and then you're gonna cash in at SummerSlam, and nobody's
gonna see it coming because we think that you're injured.

(01:02:37):
I think that they're really positioning the SummerSlam to be
really good, even with not a lot of time. Uh,
Elijah Wan, I will get your thoughts, then we'll throw
it over the voice. As far as O G Tony's
question about our thoughts on SummerSlam so.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Far, I think there's there's some certain stuff that that
warrant being announced so like close to SummerSlam, like that
Aga and Dom thing that's definitely gonna happen. I mean,
like that's definitely he's definitely gonna get cleared. That can

(01:03:11):
be announced two weeks from SummerSlam because they've done the
right building for it. They've had storylines where Age is
literally stalking Dom. I mean literally, we're not even gonna well,
I guess we're just gonna graze over that. I mean,
this man's stalking Dom. He's an innocent kid. You're trying
to just be the greatest material, be the greatest ic champion,

(01:03:33):
and he's getting stoked. But and then like if you
really want to do carry in versus Sammy that that
can that can happen, because I mean they've built this
for months. They had to match that night of Champions,
but it doesn't look like that's done and there's no way.
I'm actually not gonna say no way because they're leaving

(01:03:55):
Bailey off there. How are you gonna leave Sammy Zane
off of Wrustlemania and Summersland. I just I think it's
too unrealistic to leave out Bailey, which that's crazy in itself,
and then Samy Zane, which has been one of your
biggest faces in the WI for the past couple of years,

(01:04:16):
and I think that that would be just nuts because
I think he deserves it and his his feud with
Karrian has warranted it. And also it's just Karrian's been
getting over like they've been saying we won't cross and
stuff like this. So so I think it's just time
to give Carrion a stage to have a good match.

(01:04:41):
I mean, they had a good match at Night a Champions,
but SummerSlam, that's that's where it has to be.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
I like that and if they do that, I think it.
I think it would be amazing if they gave Karen
Cross a Summer Slam victory. It would be a great
thing for him and you can really build him from there.
But voice, what do you thought and where we're at
so far with SummerSlam?

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
I like the build right now, we're pre We're getting
there to where we need to h they need to
lock it in a little more because they're trying to
fill two nights.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Honestly, if I was them, I want Bailey on my
Summer Slam, so I would just have her. I would
start out having her with a video just her walking
backstage and picking fights with women, and then they have
a battle royal for something, for some type of championship opportunity.

(01:05:38):
That way, you feature a lot of the women that
were featured in Evolution, and then that's you building upon
what you've already built.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Can I can I just add something real quick?

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Jump?

Speaker 7 (01:05:48):
Then?

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
How do you is it? Is it too breakneck? If
they do Bailey versus Julia for the United States Championship
at Summer Slam? Is that too soon because they have
haven't had any time to build it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Yeah, because you're trying to build Julia. You're not trying
to just throw Julia out there and be a oh
I don't know, Stephanie Velkure, you have one move of
doom that gets Booker T extremely excited and now it
has gotten our young englishman very excited too. So who

(01:06:24):
knows what they're going to do in that that aspect,
but that I wouldn't do that because that that is
a special match to me, is Julia versus Bailey. It's
something you can yeah exactly, and you can sell. You
can sell on that that alone.

Speaker 7 (01:06:43):
It could be, it could go.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
It could co main event of pl E, depending on
the pl E you put it on. You could co
main event with that one.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Go again, they have history and the next sek because
when Bailey was doing that whole thing where she went
back to NXC and she was like yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think if they build it up better, that'd
be interesting. But I have another question. What if they
do the WrestleMania thing again and Bailey replaces Lyra.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
Oh okay, like almost, like so Bailey got taken out
and injured and had to be replaced at UH and
had to be replaced at WrestleMania, and then kind of
you invert until that same story in a way somebody
who I don't know who took out Lyra Valcarria and
Bailey just happened to take her place, and I would

(01:07:41):
even book that is Bailey would win. And then later
we found out, oh yeah, Bailey is the one who
took out Lyraval carry which can lead to a big
Bailey heel turn. But voice jump in this, please.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
No, that's it. I think that's where they're going with
Bailey is a heel turn. And for Lyra, I mean
going off the percentages and you know, documented data. It
would be an airplane that usually takes.

Speaker 7 (01:08:06):
Out a bird.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
But you know, you move forward, you try to figure
those things out. And yeah, I think the Bailey heel
turn is coming, and I really hope they don't do
it the route where they leave her off Summer Slam,
and then after Summer Slam she goes on a complaint
tour of being left off. This being left off that.
I like where you guys are coming from this, and

(01:08:30):
I think that's an interesting way to keep Bailey in there.
The Carrion Cross. I love where you're coming from on
that one. Alajauh On. I think that's exactly what they need.
The fans have been demanding it, and I love how
Carrion has started backing off, saying things he's just letting
the fans speak for him, in which that's what a
superstar does, because I've said it so many times on

(01:08:52):
this network, on multiple different shows. We are the fans
and we have the ability change things if we are
loud and smart about it. When we're just out there
complaining to complain, we sound like big dumb children who
are in the basement getting yelled at because well, you know,

(01:09:12):
Stepdaddy don't like us and he loves mama. You know,
get over it. Things are going to be that you
don't like. But if we just sit back and we
watch it, I have I believe in trips and I
think that he is guiding a great ship. We are
being told amazing things, but he has to hear everything,
and he has to hear that. Evolution was something that

(01:09:34):
is demanded yearly. Now do it. Do it yearly. You
can take out Saturday night main event. We tried the experiment.
It sucks. Everybody went home from that party. Nobody likes it.
You're there listening to karaoke on repeat by yourself, So
stop doing it. Give them one evolution and let him
have it yearly. I don't care what month you put

(01:09:56):
it in, whatever you decide, but give them month yearly.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
I I agree, I agree. Saturday Night Main Event has
not delivered. And this is and me and Elijah, Me
and you. We talked about it before. You were like
when they started doing the Saturday Night main event, You
was like, I don't really like this, and I was like,
and you know, me being a kid of Saturday Night
main events in nineties W and stuff like that, I'm like,

(01:10:22):
oh my.

Speaker 9 (01:10:22):
Gosh, Saturday Man Event, It's so awesome, It's amazing. Oh
my god, Oh Jesse Theboudy, even Terror. Oh they got
the music call, they got the old logo. Oh look
the referees are wearing the old the look.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
And then we became to the reality that this is
a network television presentation and the downside with that is
that things are gonna get cut short short, the ads
are gonna be ridiculous. It was a mess. I mean,
even Chris Van Vliet was talking about it. Chris Van
Vliet is not a man who complains a lot about

(01:10:56):
his wrestling. When you listen to his podcast, he's very positive.
If he's very jovial, he's you know, he looks at
the even stuff he doesn't like, he doesn't just crap
on it, he breaks it down. I enjoy listening Chris.
Listen to Chris Van Vliet talk about professional wrestling. His
interviews are great, but I really just listen to his
like a CVVS to hear his thoughts on things, because

(01:11:18):
I love hearing him talk about it. Even this man
who does whatever he can to talk positive about wrestling.
I had to say. The ads were ridiculous. The ads
are crazy. I mean, we don't I'm sorry, I get
the idea. I'm I'm where you were at last year
with this Elijahuan, and I'm with you now voice. I

(01:11:38):
don't think we need Saturday night main event anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Well, especially because it's such a pointless matches exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
So Elijauan, let me pitch you an idea for Saturday
Night main event new era. Let's say we bring in
some NXT talent, we bring in some undercards of the
main rosters. We bring in those guys and we highlight them.
We don't tell stories, we just highlight matches, and we
you know, we add ads in that. Are you more

(01:12:11):
likely to sit and watch a revamped with the younger
talent of Saturday Night main event over what you've seen, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
For sure. I mean like because especially because like what
has really happened in all the like revamped Saturday Night's
main event we have. I mean, obviously, obviously they crowned
the inaugural Woman's US Champion, but like, other than that,
I think the most they've done is bring Bronson Red
into seth rongisfaction. Yep, because like it's pointless. Yeah, because

(01:12:46):
especially like I like Evolution, I'm like, Okay, even though
it shouldn't really be on this weekend, I think it's
still it's still built to SummerSlam, but for a Saturday
Night's main event, it did not Yeah, every matchress pretty
much pointless. It didn't make sense to just take the
title off of jay Usso just to give it to

(01:13:07):
gun Through to face Goldberg. If they're just gonna do that,
have it have it happened like around like around now ish,
or just have jay Uso go into somewhere Slam. I
think ja Uso versus Seeing Punk done the same exact
impact as it gun Through versus Seeing Punk exactly. It's

(01:13:28):
just Hunter's heel obviously, but.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
Like and you know, it's just and might I just
want to add to what you're saying, and might I
add to it? I think that CM punk could pull
better promos out of jay Uso, because we know that's
been one thing about ja Uso and the main event
is that he's kind of like, he's not great with
the promo. But I think Seeing Punk could could probably
pull something out of him. And I'm not a huge

(01:13:53):
Seeing Punk guy these days.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
Yeah, but they don't give jay Uso any type of
a lawn board for his promos. They basically say, look, Jay,
this is you, this is what the crowd accepts from you,
and this is all we're going to allow you to be.
And I don't like that for jay Uso. I like

(01:14:16):
Jay to be more free, Let him develop the character.
Why do we pigeonhold him into this dimensional thing that's
a little different than when he was with his brother?

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
You know why? Because because they pigeon just adding on
to what you're saying, they pigeonhold him because they're like,
oh my god, the kids love him, oh my god,
his shirt is selling, oh my god, look how much
money he's making. Let's try to water him down.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
But rated R jay Uso to me would be way better.
He's got the sayings that we love. Yeah, exactly, You're
doing it right there. This dude has catches, but he's
listen up, he's adult entertainment. That's what you need to
focus on with him. You want to want to get
the kids and you want to love them. Randy Orton's

(01:15:02):
doing a great job hugging children on his fucking way
to the ring. Let him be that guy for the moment,
see the day. Yeah, but it's accepted and it's loved,
and he's loved just as much as he was a
heel when we loved him then. So that's why I'm saying,
let him have these flowers, let him have that moment.
But but for for them, they WW is doing no advantages,

(01:15:28):
no favors, no whatever you want to put behind it.
For jay Uso.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
That I think they're doing a lot better with like
the when he was in the bloodline, Like I mean,
obviously that that's the easier story to tell, but like
then he he got to actually like be him and
he was like, oh he's angry, Like I remember every
week have it watching him do the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
Whole Yeah, frustrated, he was pissed off, like he was
just yeah, I remember. I remember back in the day
I called ja Usso the most stressed out man in
professional wrestling.

Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
Yeah, because you can see it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Yeah, man, I mean I do miss that jay Uso.
And now they found something in him that they can
bottle and produce. And you know how it is like
they did the thing. They did it with John Cena,
they did it with Hogan. Anytime they're like, oh my god,
we can we can. We can put yat and a

(01:16:29):
we can put heat in a can and the kids
can drink it for let's let's do that. Hell yeah,
everybody's gonna want to drink heat. Like it's just you know,
let's commercialize all this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
They's it's I love it. I absolutely love that he's
getting over that much.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
But there, like you said, there's more meat on the
bone that you can get down there. You know what
I'm saying. You don't have to be so one laned
with jay Uso like he can be like and they
tried to tell that story when they when they beat
up Jimmy and you know, and Gunther left Jimmy in
a bloody mess. He could be more serious, but that

(01:17:08):
was just for the moment, Like let him he can
be that guy, like he can be that guy if
you let him be and kids can still yat and
where the sunglasses and drink all the heat they want to.
He can still be that guy. But let him be more.
Let him be more. It's don't be afraid, just go
ahead and just go ahead and go for it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
But let's talk about let's let's talk a little bit
about this uh Sena and Cody uh situation here, because
I do truly believe that there is that that the
that the window is open for a possible double turn.
It's open there. We saw John Cena come out and
this was very interesting to me and I read something

(01:17:50):
and I want to get your guys' thoughts on this.
I don't think this is true because you know, the
internet does what the internet does. But you had Seena
coming out and he was basically saying, oh, I have
all these things going on, and I mean, you know,
my mental isn't right. I can't sign this contract. And
I know I just told you guys, and you know,

(01:18:12):
I know you expected me to sign it. But you know,
he was real skittish and like like just it was weird.
It was weird. John Cena energy that he was like
doing whatever he could to not sign that contract. But
what I did read later, which once again, there is
nothing that says this is true. This is the Internet
being the Internet, dirt, sheats being dirt, cheats. But there
was something out there that was saying that John Cena

(01:18:34):
did that because they were taking a shot at Pat McAfee,
who recently announced that he wasn't doing anything with the
WW anymore because he's got a lot of things going
on and his mental health and this and that. And
it was very much like, I'm not saying he did
it for that reason, but I'm saying it falls in line.

(01:18:57):
Where are you at with that voice? Where do you
think about that? Like I s I'm not saying that's true.
But we got Lou and the Chedty saying iyh bloodline,
happy Sunday, my man, the lou Tin lou cheers and yeah,
I just wanted to show love to Lou who always
comes and gives us love. But what you think, boys,
do you think there's any truth to to Sina was
mocking Pat McAfee.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
Well, there probably is. There're probably some in there, but
it does fit in the storyline. If you're trying to
build Cody up to this this uh monster that they're
trying to make him the heel turn John Cena becoming
afraid to go up against Cody because why would you
add all that shit, especially exactly what McAfee said. I mean,

(01:19:44):
it's very interesting. They're playing very on the nose, but
I don't think it's anything that Pat wouldn't agree to.
And so, you know, the relationship that he has with
the WWE is not that it's not bad. I mean
they're they're on good terms. It sucks that we don't

(01:20:05):
have McAfee. It also could be part of the storyline too.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
You never know what he does on commentary, so it
sucks not seeing there on Monday nights.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
But I get it though exactly. And what I didn't
ESPN just give him some money or some someplace gate
he got some contract to where his show is going
to be on like a network television or.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
Something like that, and he runs those shows daily. That's
a daily show.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Yeah, yeah, so that that would be a little harder
for him. I mean, he's getting ready to take over
the sports world. This was just a spot that he
was able to come and do some things that we
loved at McAfee on a mike for WWE is fun.
He brings that element of just kid kid heartedness to it,

(01:20:52):
to where you're just you're a child when you when
you hear him talk, it takes me right back to
watching it as a teenager at a lot's age and
just falling in love with this, this form of entertainment. Uh,
that that I hold so dear. Outside of that, though,
I love in our discord how chat Chief is talking

(01:21:15):
about legalities and things like that. And you know, at
the at the end of the day, John Cena did
it was advertised he was there to sign a contract.
He walked out. If he had no intentions of even
putting his name on it, he could have just done
a video package. But he instigated and Cody has every

(01:21:39):
expectation that he was going to sign that contract. So
however it got signed, you know, that's up for the
courts to decide. But I think it's gonna be a
fun thing and I like how they're playing in the
world of reality.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Yeah, I love it. I thought I thought that it
was it was fun stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed it. But uh, oh,
g Tony, who are you? Who are you talking about?
Is it Are you talking about Pat Pat McAfee's contract
is coming up? Just kind of specify on that. If
you can, brother, we appreciate it. Uh but uh, Elija

(01:22:16):
want where are you at man? Main Events segment? John
Cena and Cody Rhodes you were you were hinting at
the double turn. I don't hate that idea. I think
it could be good. I think I think there is
a possibility that one of the big stories at SummerSlam
is that maybe we see the return of the Rock
embracing Cody Rhoads. I don't know, or maybe screwing Sena

(01:22:38):
because maybe Sena. Of course Sena wasn't who Rock wanted
in the first place. He wanted Cody, so like maybe
that's what we're seeing. I don't know, but uh, Elija
on where you at Man?

Speaker 5 (01:22:53):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
If if the if Cody is gonna go uh dude,
street fighter, don't turn him hell because then he's not
gonna have time to show up to these things, so
it's not worth it to have him turn heeled. Then
people are like, are gonna get Cody? Are gonna get Cody?
I think, don't put the title on him.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
Can I actually add to what you're saying, I didn't
mean to cut you off there, but I would. I
would almost argue that if he turned hell and won
the title and associated himself with the Rock and he
goes off and does the movie Street Fighter, that makes
him a bigger heel because of like, oh now he's
a part timer now. Now, oh now he's a movie

(01:23:39):
star now. And it gives you the ability to hate
Cody even more because now he has limited dates as
the champion, right.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
But it's just like a matter of if that's really
what you want to do, you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:23:53):
He doesn't like this idea, he doesn't like He's like,
not fuck that, and that's okay, Okay, I'm not sure, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
I don't know because like because they're still gonna have
to do They're still gonna have to do Cody. Cody
is gonna probably have to be at Clash at Paris,
and then Cody is probably gonna have to be at
Crown Jewels. So if you can make time for that,
then I'll be like, okay. But if if the movie
takes time for that, don't do it, because especially because

(01:24:26):
like there's for especially Crime Jewel. In my opinion, there's
so many, so many opportunities you could do with that,
Like if they're gonna do the whole oh Crown Jewel title,
even though it's worthless.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Mean even still you can drive a good store, like
let's say sets injuries to work. They could do Seths
versus Cody, they could do they could do gun Through
versus Cody again, which I don't really want to see you,
but they could do see him Punk versus Cody. They
could do Seths Versusena, Hunk Versusina, Gunter Versusina. So I

(01:25:04):
think Crown Jewel is a good opportunity, but I'm just
interested to see what we see at SummerSlam.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. Do you guys think Okay, we
don't have to go like too deep into this or whatever,
but I'll just ask you guys. You guys can give
me a short answer. Voice chances we see the rocket SummerSlam?

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
Oh God, I think we do. Okay, I think I
think it's at least seventy five percent, if not more,
maybe teetering on eighty just because of what I was
saying earlier with Cody being backstage wearing the rock somenglasses. Ye,
I think that they're they're dropping the bread crumbs. But

(01:25:50):
that could be a swerve because Trips has said many
times his goal is to make us think we know
and then pull the rug right from under us. And uh,
he did well with the Naomi cashing, so this could
be who knows.

Speaker 7 (01:26:08):
Uh, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
Yeah, it's it's hard, Yeah it is, because he's what's
he doing? Movie wise? Where's he going to be? Have
we even heard of him?

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
It seems like he's stepped away from WWE at the moment,
not really talking about it, not really being about it. Yeah,
but who knows? I like, I like not knowing, though
I do too.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
I think he stopped acknowledging wrestling stuff because he realized
that he wanted to get that stink off of him that,
you know, he wasn't going to be showing up to
things and he wasn't gonna be and people wasn't embracing
him doing things his way because that's not what wrestling
fans want. They don't want you to be They don't
want you to be there only sometimes they want you
to be there as much as you possibly can. And

(01:26:54):
in the time that you're there, they expect you to
give your best, you know what I'm saying. I just
don't think we got that from The Rock. I think
he didn't consider what the wrestling fans wanted. I think
he just did what he wanted to do. But Eliza,
what you think? Do you think there's a good chance
we could possibly see the Rocket summer slam.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
I'm not gonna get my hope because it does all
the time and he just kind of bails. But I'm
I'm not gonna say zero because I mean, you can
never say never in wrestling, because I mean everything that,
especially with Trip and how unpredictable he is. Hopefully if

(01:27:36):
he comes back, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Gonna be bloodline rules rules. Cody Rose, look at you now, boy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:46):
A man. I hate that he calls people boy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
That drives me nuts too. Anybody who uses that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
It's like why.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
At my work they do it all the time. It
drives me nuts. I'm like, I'm forty three years old, guys,
I can run a car. I'm not a bar.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
As far as me. With The Rock, we had voice
closer to like eighty percent than you closer to, like,
you know, zero percent. I think I'm gonna ride the middle.
I'm gonna say there's a fifty percent chance that we
could see the rock at SummerSlam. And the only way
it's really gonna work is if he cost Sena the

(01:28:29):
title and embraces Cody cast Sena the title. Sena, you
were my failed experiment. I did not want you in
the first place. Travis Scott was another failed experiment, as
we have night Wings saying in there, you know, he's
just this faction didn't work out, And Travis Scott, you sucked, dude,

(01:28:50):
Like you had a chance to be a part of something.
You had a chance to be a part of something
so special, like I can't imagine being being the rapper,
being the artist that got to be in the ring
when John Cena turned hell and then you just you
could like that didn't motivate you to be to be

(01:29:12):
able to take some bumps, do something, maybe learn a movie,
come on dog. Like I read the I read the
reportse that he wasn't a quick learner, and that just
told me that he didn't get it at all, Like
nobody like as much as much time as they probably
would have gave him to try to figure it out,
I just feel like that he just didn't get it

(01:29:32):
at all because slow learner, Be damned. You can take
some bumps. You can learn a move or tow or
something and just keep yourself protected when they need you
to show up and do things in the ring. He
came when it was convenient for him. He got a
chance to be a part of the biggest hill turn
in the history of wrestling outside of Hogan's. I don't
care what you say about Hogan It was huge, you know,

(01:29:54):
and then you just shit the bed.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
I'm sorry, Travis Scott, get out of.

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
Here, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:29:59):
Like scond see, like Sexy Red is more relevant in
wrestling than you go somewhere else, dude, Like, like, come.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
On, imagine the He'll turn with her and that would
have wild She.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
Like the fact that she wants to be a part
of it. Like, just change my whole thought process on
Sexy Red. As far as you, Travis Scott, I don't
care what you do, dude, but but you know this,
this whole thing is pivoted in a lot of different ways.
We've heard The Rock talk about it on the Pat
McAfee show after WrestleMania that there were some rewrites they

(01:30:32):
didn't really know, whether you know it. They tried to
go with the crowd, but things didn't go a certain way.
I think the rock's ego got kind of hurt from
that situation. But I do think this is a great
opportunity for them to tell a different story with Cody Rhodes.
I really do. And it's gonna be interesting if they
pull that trigger. I'm not gonna say it's totally impossible

(01:30:54):
because like Elijah Wan and like Voice has said, man,
you just don't know what tripley She's gonna do. Like
he might go a few weeks where, uh where he's
a little formulaic, but then man, he'll do he'll he'll
do some things on you and uh and man, we
got Nightwing in there. He said he came in, popped
Cody's ear drum and smoked weed. Great inspiration to.

Speaker 6 (01:31:17):
The kids that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Night.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
Ween You're amazing, dude. We love you. Man, You're great.
You are great. But yeah, Travis Scott, you sucked, dude.
That's just coming from me to you. You suck. But yeah,
that's all the things on SmackDown that we got a
chance to talk about. Uh. One last thing, Oh yes,
oh my gosh, I forgot I knew I was gonna
say this on the show because I was listening to

(01:31:44):
Chris Van Bleach's podcast, og Tony said jelly Roll moved
to Florida to train. Chris Van Bleet told that story
that last year at SummerSlam, one jelly Roll choke slammed
Austin theory. I guess jelly Roll got so amped up
wrestling that he was like, I want to do more,
I want to try more. And I guess they told

(01:32:05):
him in the back, like, hey, you need to lose
some weight, dude, Like if you can lose like one
hundred pounds, you know we can do something with you
and train you. This man didn't lose one hundred pounds.
This man lost two hundred pounds, moved to Florida to train,
And from Chris Van Vliet's mouth to my ears and
now from my mouth to y'all's ears, I think we
got to watch out for what jelly Roll was gonna

(01:32:27):
do a SummerSlam.

Speaker 2 (01:32:28):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:32:29):
I think he's gonna surprise us. Chris Van Vliet was saying, Hey,
I'm not gonna give away too much, but I've been
seeing some of what jelly Roll is doing when he's training.
He's been showing me some things because they're getting close,
and he's like, I don't want to give away too much,
but I think he might be surprised with Jelly Roll's performance. Hey,
did you guys catch him putting Logan Paul through that

(01:32:53):
table on the Late night show on like the Tonight Show.
That was an epic choke slam bro voice? Are you
are you just last question? One of the last questions here?
Are you excited about what we could see from jelly Roll?
Is there any excitement there? You're just like, ah, he's
a celebrity.

Speaker 7 (01:33:08):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
No, I I love I like when celebrities want to
come and play, but I like when they come and
they learn and they figure it out. Travis Scott failed experiment.
We move on, we get to Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll
took it serious and was like, look, I want to
do some of this. I like what the crowd popped
when I did so that they gave him an outline.

(01:33:31):
He went and he did it. I think this is exciting.
I would have loved more from others.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:39):
Snoop was he's elderly, Like, let's just be honest. Yeah,
let's let we don't need the expectations from him.

Speaker 7 (01:33:48):
But people like the.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
Halliburton and who is the other guy Brunson when they
came over. I hope we get some training from them.
I hope they find a way to work something out
to where we get that one because I I mean,
remember LT he came.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
To Yes, I remember that, Yes I did. And then
like bad Bunny, Logan Paul's transitions so well, Like Logan
Paul's transitions so well that he's now leading dances now,
you know what I'm saying, Like he they're giving they're
putting him in a storyline with Jelly Rowland, like, hey,
we trust you enough to be able to do this stuff.

(01:34:32):
You know what I'm saying. I like, I'll be the first.
I'll be and I know Voice will too. But I'll
tell you too. I like what Logan Paul can be.
I really like his ceiling in WW. This guy. I'm
just gonna say it right now, and I don't care.
You guys can say whatever you want. I do not care.
I think right now, the ceiling for Logan Paul is
future WW Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
No, I agree with you and Logan Paul. You know,
whatever he does outside of a ring, that's on him.
I mean, if everybody wants to get all vindicated in
their feelings. You guys still cheer on Kevin Nash and
Drunkie the clown. Those guys kind of they're part of
the problem back in the day and they're celebrated like

(01:35:16):
they're gods, in which I don't buy into that. But
what I'm saying is is logan Paul understands what happens,
what you need to do to elevate people. Now, if
he was there to just be for himself, I could
be on the hate train, but he's not. He's elevating guys. Ye,
he is getting and he's doing all he can for

(01:35:37):
his own brand. I'm pissed that he's got his fucking
prime shit drink on a corner, but I admire him
as a businessman to be able to have that type
of advertising, Like why not. I wish IYH had the
bottom turn buckle. That would be amazing, so awesome, and

(01:35:57):
I would sell my soul for that. So if you're out,
will look nice souls this way? No one else and
I YH has to do it. I'll do it. I'll
take that train, but you know what to get us over,
I would do it. It's so amazing. What these guys
are capable of doing in ring out? What what's he

(01:36:18):
over there bapping about? Oh b I don't know about
that one. That seems to get a little creepy. If
the rock takes your soul, he's asking you to hit people,
you know. So I don't know, but I would. I

(01:36:38):
would if I y H got their logo on that
corner up you're the man voice.

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
That's why we love you here, I y H man.
All right, last thing I wanted to talk about before
we slide out of here, Carl. It's a really great
episode because it was I've had a lot of fun
this episode. It's just another good one. We got Slam
Aniversary tonight, and man, it seems like it is going
to be a fun show. I don't know if I'm
gonna catch it or not, but man, it looks really good.

(01:37:06):
A lot of great matches that's gonna be on the card.
But I mean, the biggest story that's happening on TNA,
at least in my eyes, is that we're gonna see
that guy from earlier that Elijah was talking about. That
is that's stalking Dominic mysterial creepy Uncle AJ, our friend
Uncle AJ AJ Styles one of the greatest entering performers

(01:37:29):
in my lifetime, and I can say that confidently. That
guy is absolutely incredible. He makes his return to the
promotion where he had some of his greatest matches, some
of his greatest moments in coming up through the ranks
of independent professional wrestling. He goes back to TNA. This
is gonna be such a huge and special moment. I

(01:37:50):
don't know what's going to happen, because there was something
I believe in the chat earlier. We'll have to go back,
but I don't know who said it. If we find it,
but they say there's a possibility that we can see
dominating mysterial show up and spoil Uncle AJ's return to TNA.
That would be absolutely amazing, great build for Summerstain if

(01:38:11):
they did that. I don't know what they're going to do,
but uh, Voice, I'm gonna give it to you first
because you've watched AJ Styles as long as I have.
And then I got to give it to our young
AJ Styles fan here, my man, ALLOWJ you want to
get his thoughts on it for you? Voice? What's it
mean for AJ Styles to be going back to TNA.

Speaker 5 (01:38:31):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
We well, Uh Wow. It means a lot, honestly, because
if I if I'm going to talk about it, it's
I've said it millions of times. I fell in love
with Hall Coogan as a kid. That was my first
huge idol to watch. Saboo changed the game for me.
AJ kept my love of wrestling going when it was

(01:38:54):
kind of you know, bottoming out. I came across this
guy named AJ Styles and he was a part of
this uprising group of TNA and they were doing amazing
things and I was watching him hit the Styles Clash.
I was watching him hit that I forget the name
of it, but where he used to do the flip
and catch him and then drop him into the dude.

(01:39:16):
That was one of my favorite moves I've ever seen
done in a ring. AJ Styles was the guy who,
like I said, kept my love of wrestling flowing. He
was the guy who was like, no, we're still telling
great stories, we're still showing banger matches and come and
watch well over here. And then that introduced me to

(01:39:38):
people like Abyss going onto, Jay Lethal going on, you know,
just a number of guys I've viewed because of AJ Styles.
I love the promo they did to this AJ dusting
off the old gear, opening it up, all the dark
imagery behind it, and just the the amount of focus

(01:40:01):
on his gear in that promo. It really just sent chill.
I'm getting chills thinking about it right now because I
know what this means. I I have watched AJ from
his first moment of fame, not as indies. I went
back and watched that, but I did see him in

(01:40:21):
TNA fame and just I was in awe with this dude.
I wanted to I wanted him in WWE years and
years before they. Yeah, I just he's so good and
the fact that we are getting to the end of
his road for en Ring, it's sad, but it's also

(01:40:46):
heartwarming because he's going to take the time with his family.
But I do not see him stepping away from wrestling forever.
I see him being in a producer role. I see
him being Yeah, I just I I see the world
for him. But the end ring, what we fell in
love with is sadly coming to a end.

Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
Yeah yeah, I mean just one of the finest professional
wrestlers to ever walk God's Green Earth. I mean, AJ
styles for years and years has just been automatic when
it comes to quality matches, whether it be in TNA,
whether it be in the Lower Indies, whether it be

(01:41:29):
in Ring of Honor, New Japan. And then when he
finally came over to wwe still putting on fine matches
and doing great work. Elijah, when you were a lot
younger than us, but I know as you were growing
up you were a huge AJ Styles kid. We got
a chance to actually see one of his finer matches

(01:41:49):
on the SmackDown, during one of his better fews against
Randy Orton at a SmackDown. We were in a skybox there.
It was awesome. It was a great time. I still
remember that night, but yeah, it was so it was
such a great night, dude. But Elijah On, you know
the legend of TNA, the legend of Aj Styles and TNA.

(01:42:10):
What do you think, man, where are you at with
aj making a return to where he really made his name.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
It's honestly crazy, because, like I mean, if you would
have told me or even any like rustling fan, like
anybody here or anybody in the discord that WW TNA
would be like collaborating like this and a Da Styles
can make a return to TNA, I think everybody would

(01:42:40):
have called you crazy. Like this, what's happening right now
is nuts, like, and we're coming up on AJ Styles's
tenth year in the WWE, and it's really kind of
shown how long it took for him to really get here,
because now he's about he's he's about to be retiring

(01:43:03):
and it's not. It's like there's still some uncompleted work
that he could do. But I think he has to
get one one more TNA title run, one more at
least one way all I'm asking for.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
One more DNA title run.

Speaker 4 (01:43:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:43:25):
Well that one of our fans, uh brought an idea
of that.

Speaker 7 (01:43:30):
H O G.

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
Tony, what about a TNA Championship match on Summer Slam?
Og you are? I mean we saw the TNA title
with WrestleMania. It was not on the line, but we
saw it when Joe Hendry went up against Randy Orton
it we could see, Oh man, the door is so

(01:43:53):
open right now for the TNA title to be defended
on a Summer Slam. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
With AJ Styles, AJ.

Speaker 1 (01:44:06):
That's a moment. I don't care. That's a moment like
him hoisting the TNA Championship as champion on a WWE
pl e arguably the second or third biggest pl E
that the company produces. That would be insane, insane like

(01:44:33):
where would that would just be nuts And it'd be
a great lane for AJ because that means we'd have
to see him more on TNA on Thursday nights. I
think that would make TNA such a such a draw.
Like I'm not saying it's because TNA puts on a
great production. They put on a great show with great talents.
I'm not saying they don't, But man AJ styles at
the champion there, that's must watch wrestling TV right there.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
Yeah, because if rumors are true, they're about to Joe
Hendry will be coming to the WWE. You have a
lot of your top guys and ladies that have made
their way over. Why not have AJ hold the title
for a little bit while you start throwing people at him.
Who are your younger talents that you're trying to build up,

(01:45:20):
and then finally, after you figure out who it's going
to be, let them get that big win over AJ
on a WWE pl E or something, you know, some
to the equivalent of that. Just that TNA title being
hoisted with him in one of his last years of wrestling.

(01:45:40):
That's money that is money.

Speaker 1 (01:45:43):
Plus what about TNA Champion AJ Styles versus Mike Santana
TNA Champion AJ Styles versus Moose, TNA World Heavyweight Champion,
AJ Styles versus Trey Miguel TNA World Heavyweight Champion, AJ

(01:46:05):
Styles versus Nick Nameth TNA World Heavyweight Champion. AJ Styles
versus uh Man's Warner TNA World Heavyweight Champion versus Zilopha two.
AJ Styles versus two. I mean, come on, man, AJ

(01:46:27):
Styles versus Cedric Alexander, AJ Styles versus must Ali. Yeah.
AJ Styles versus top notch Jason Hodge. I mean, yeah,
I know you was gonna get up.

Speaker 3 (01:46:44):
Yeah, I know you put through college.

Speaker 1 (01:46:46):
Man, Like, that'sn't take money exactly. This is what I'm
talking about. Like, let's let's make that happen, because, like
I think that it can, really, really, really, I truly
believe it's in the bottom of my heart. I think
it would reignite such a huge fire within AJ Styles,
and his last year will probably in his mind, if

(01:47:10):
I think he's the competitor that I feel like I
think that he is, it will probably be one of,
in his mind, one of the best years of his
entire career if he went out and was able to
go up against that quality of talent going out the door.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
No, you're you're one hundred on that. And the fact
that it's Aj Styles, You're you're just elevating your brand.
You're you're selling, you're making money, You're bringing things that
we wish were matches. I mean, come on, Trey Miguel
AJ Styles, why not?

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
I mean, this is it's fantastic that we we get
to this point. And plus it it just uh, it separates,
It separates Aj from Sena and both of their retirements.
It gives AJ his own acknowledgment, his own, his own lane,

(01:48:07):
and his own world to be respected. And it also
does for Sina say what you want. Both talents deserve
a great sendoff and the best work they could possibly do.
And I think AJ holding the TNA title, even if
it's only for three months, you give us a good
number of matches of him defending it and then put

(01:48:29):
it over on someone else and then let AJ finish
the rest over here doing whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (01:48:36):
Love it, I love it. I like what you're saying. Man, Man,

we appreciate you coming on and making this episode awesome
and everything, because it really was a really really good episode.

give him the floor. Where can they catch everything that

haven't had enough here, you can catch me on the
Monday Night Review preview show where me the Blue Eyed
Villain himself and well the Chaos Scotland Kevin Callaway. We
talked wrestling, we talked Monday Night Raw, to be specific,
we talked three subjects and we invite you the household

(01:51:51):

rascal time. It's always good to be a silly goose
when it's Monday Night Raw, and uh that's seven p
on Mondays, an hour before Ragos Live. Come have some
fun with us. Outside of that, it's a little thing
I do with my home house where we watch ECW.

(01:52:13):
It's the ECW watch along and it is fire. Put
it out because well it's just growing. We just had
Nightwing on. He had an amazing first podcast ever he's
ever done. He sat down watched November to Remember nineteen
ninety nine with me in the house. It was fantastic,

(01:52:33):
one of the best times we've had with a fan
joining us. Can't wait to do more of those, and
can't wait to drop more information on what we've been
talking about for the past couple of weeks, the bread
combs we've been living. No one's really guessed who it is,
but you know, hopefully somebody does and we can set
backstage and laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
And be like a trick.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
He knows though, But yeah, those are all the places
to find me. You know, anytime you want, I can
talk a conspiracy with you. Those happens sporadically on Saturday nights.
We had a really good one last night, talking about
political assassinations heard around the world. We talked about Gadaffi,

(01:53:17):
a lot of different the what started World War One,
Franz ferninand Elajuan. You'll be learning about that. It's a
fun little dive. They don't teach you all the things,
So come over to me, Uncle Josh, and I'll teach
you all you need to know about American history. I
mean Grandpa, but yeah, yeah, Grandpa, Grandpa voice over here.

Speaker 1 (01:53:41):
Man, I love this team. Man, we got a great
team here. That's everything that you can catch my man
voice doing. He's a great creator who does a lot
of great work producing and putting out content for you
guys to enjoy. He does great work here in your house.
Check out everything that I am doing. Because he talks
Monday Night Raw on Mondays before this, Me and the
amazing Andie O'Neill, we talk about Monday Night raws after

(01:54:05):
the show that's on Wednesdays with the Raw deal with
House and O'Neil, and it's gonna be a great episode
this coming to Wednesday, because we're gonna be talking about
what's leading up, SummerSlam is coming up, what's Anni's thoughts
on it. You'll definitely get it then. Like my man
said on Thursdays, the ECW Watch Along series where we
get extreme, it's a great, great time. We just had

(01:54:25):
our guy Nightwing on and man, he did such an
amazing job coming on and watching the second half of
the nineteen ninety nine ECW November to Remember pay per view.
It was a fun, fun field episode with many stories
told and just fun being able to talk to one
of our guys from over in the UK and just

(01:54:46):
chill and watch wrestling. It was fun, man, I really
enjoyed it. And then Sundays here we do our thing.
We all get together and talk to the week of wrestling.
That's exactly what we do. But man, it's it's just
fun because like I told you guys earlier, I got
a chance to go to New Era Wrestling in Shelbyville, Indiana,

(01:55:07):
and man, I'm so so honored and privileged to do
what we're about to do. And let's give you guys
this eight minute interview as we end the show here.
So guys, you know, I had to go out there
to New Era and manage Sam, get an interview with them,
and then of course do some backstage correspondence and help
the show flow and make it go as well as

(01:55:29):
the show could go, because that's all part of the work,
and that's HOWSC and the W stands for work. So
formal man Elajawan and the producer over the show, the
voice Josh Joseph, and the whole team here at in
your house guys, you need to hop on this bandwagon.
Get on or get gone, because the household is still

(01:55:52):
going mighty strong. You guys, have a great day, a
great rest of your week, and enjoy this interview with
Sam Knight from New Era Wrestling Peace in Your House
with No con a Yo, Conn of your House, House,
Callywood of your House housepo Curad knock loud, what is up?

Speaker 6 (01:56:17):
Guys? What is cracking? Is the con man? And I
am in your House. That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:56:22):
The executive producer of the In Your House podcast con
hous is here and I am here in New Era
Wrestling in Shelbyville, Indiana, and Man, I had to be
here for this huge event. And the reason why a
lot of different reasons why because New Era really does
it up really well. Shout out to Damian, Michael Cole
and everybody back there that helps put this production together.

(01:56:44):
But because this is one of the final dates of
my man, my brother, my homie, that's the right hand
of God, Sam Knight. And this man has been called
many things, whether it be the enforcer of the set,
whether it be the gatekeeper in Destination six and the
sixth Destination. He lived four burn and he's done a

(01:57:08):
lot of things in his career. Man, you've only got
twelve dates left. From what you were telling me, Man,
I'm here to be with you because you know we
got we go way back, man, and and uh just
we did some amazing things together. But here you are, Man,
twelve dates away, halfway through your retirement tour.

Speaker 6 (01:57:25):
Where are you at?

Speaker 2 (01:57:26):
Bro?

Speaker 6 (01:57:26):
Because now he was here, I had to pull up.

Speaker 7 (01:57:28):
On you, man, Man, listen, Man, Mentally, I'm all over
the place, Bro.

Speaker 10 (01:57:34):
Like I was having a conversation with our fellow set
member Kendle Fire shout out Kendall.

Speaker 7 (01:57:40):
And the question that he asked me was how do
you feel mentally with it almost being over?

Speaker 10 (01:57:47):
And I can honestly say that it's a bittersweet moment,
Like I'm excited for the new things that that are
in front of me. I'm excited for the for the
the projects and getting ready to work on. But of
course I'm sadden because this is what I've been doing
for the better part of almost twenty years. It's all
I know physically on a physical aspect, the physicality, the

(01:58:10):
running back and forth, all.

Speaker 7 (01:58:11):
That, it's all I know. So honestly, man, it's kind
of bittersweet.

Speaker 1 (01:58:17):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure because knowing you as well as
I know you, I mean, we talk every day, you know,
and especially during that revenge tour that we had back
in in twenty one twenty two, we most definitely were
We were basically like sharing the same brain at that time. Man,
everything we were doing we were in sync in symmetry.

Speaker 6 (01:58:38):
And we're still that way.

Speaker 1 (01:58:39):
But you know, you know, life be life, and you know,
but man, like you're twenty years you're about to hit
twenty years, man, and like you've done some real cool things,
like I said, twelve dates left.

Speaker 6 (01:58:52):
Man, how I guess my next question is like.

Speaker 1 (01:58:56):
How reflective have you been during from the time that
you realize you wanted to do this up until now?

Speaker 10 (01:59:03):
Halfway through very I had wrestled a match a couple
of weeks ago in Brazil Indiana, and after the match
was over, I remember standing in the middle of the
ring and legitimately went five months left, and like it
hit me like like a sack of potatos, bro like boom, like,
oh my god, five months left.

Speaker 7 (01:59:24):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:59:25):
So there are those moments where it's like I can't
wait because I want to see what's next. But then
there's those moments where I'm like, I'm gonna miss putting
on the boots and miss putting on the tights and miss.

Speaker 7 (01:59:35):
The camaraderie of being in the locker room and working
with some of the newer talent and the older talent.

Speaker 10 (01:59:40):
But the thing that I want to specify and drive
home is I didn't say I was done with wrestling.

Speaker 7 (01:59:47):
I'm done with the n ring aspect of it. So
no longer will I will I don the tights and
the pullover and the tape and all that.

Speaker 10 (01:59:54):
No, I will be handling other aspects, which we'll get
into it another time, like we talked about on the podcast. Yeah,
but it's it's like I said, it's bittersweet, man. I
mean I've been so reflective, especially thinking about my father
and think about what he would say if he were
here right now.

Speaker 7 (02:00:08):
So yeah, you're reflected for.

Speaker 6 (02:00:10):
Sure, man, for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:00:11):
Man, I wouldn't be who I am if I wasn't
real in asking the hard hitting questions.

Speaker 4 (02:00:17):
Man.

Speaker 6 (02:00:17):
So like I know you, I've known you for a
long time.

Speaker 1 (02:00:22):
To me, in my eyes, you're a man of your word,
and you say you're gonna do something you're most definitely
gonna do it. But you know, a wrestler's mind works different,
and you know sometimes they think they're done, but you know,
later on they realize they're not as done as they
thought they wanted to be.

Speaker 6 (02:00:41):
Do you think in your mind that there's a chance
that even.

Speaker 1 (02:00:46):
Though this is your last year, your retirement tour, this
is it, there could be some point down the line,
a year, two years, five years, where you might want
to lace them up again.

Speaker 10 (02:00:58):
I I'm gonna be honest. I don't think so okay,
because I'm still gonna be involved. So it's not like
I'm glory chasing, right, it makes sense. I said what
I said, so like, I'm not chasing that that that
adrenaline rush because I am going to replace the inn

(02:01:21):
ring with something else that's gonna give me that same food. Yeah,
and that's nothing to get anybody else who decides to
come back, Like.

Speaker 7 (02:01:28):
I don't want to be the cliche.

Speaker 10 (02:01:29):
I don't want to be the guy that's like it's
over and then six months later, oh I just got
it one more match.

Speaker 7 (02:01:35):
No, no man, I'm I'm good. I'm done.

Speaker 11 (02:01:41):
Like you know, it's a young man's game. Now I'm
thirty eight years old. My body hurts, Yes, sir, give
us a second. Yeah, it's just like twenty eight years old.

(02:02:02):
My body hurts.

Speaker 2 (02:02:03):
Man.

Speaker 7 (02:02:03):
Sure, sure, I just want to.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
All right, I feel it, man, I feel it. Listen,
you got some fans that's wanting to come up and
see some of your merch. I don't want to hold
you off from now. Sure, I guess inconclusion, man, like
I said twenty years, I'm you know, privileged and blessed
to have been a part of about one two of
your runs and whatnot. I mean, we had a blast
so much things that we've done, and you were respected

(02:02:27):
in you know, the West Coast and the Midwest. You know,
we did some stuff in the South when we went
to Tennessee. I guess, like, when it's all said and done,
when it's all over, and this is just the last question.
It's all said and done, and it's all over, what
what's gonna make you feel good about?

Speaker 4 (02:02:42):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (02:02:43):
You know, closing the book on twenty.

Speaker 12 (02:02:45):
Years being a man of my work. Yeah, walking away
and going this was fun. I did what I said
I was going to do.

Speaker 10 (02:02:56):
Legacy wise, Now I can say goodbye to it and
focus on other things.

Speaker 7 (02:03:02):
My goal is to be. It was to be one
of the best wrestlers ever to do it.

Speaker 10 (02:03:08):
And it may not be to the opinion of others
of me being the best, but to some people, I
am one of the greatest additions in our lives. I
have created and established a legacy over twenty years.

Speaker 7 (02:03:24):
On a personal and a professional levels.

Speaker 10 (02:03:27):
So to be able to look back and go, Damn,
I did that, because I've been doing a lot of Damn,
I did that.

Speaker 7 (02:03:33):
You know, it is an honor, it's a blessing.

Speaker 4 (02:03:37):
I am.

Speaker 10 (02:03:38):
I thank God, like I said after I came back
from the heart attack, to God be the glory for
the things that He's done. I am very appreciative. I
never forget where I came from. I never forget the
ones that had me. So when it's over, I'll.

Speaker 7 (02:03:53):
Be able to look back and say, yeah, we did
that thing, and we did it well.

Speaker 6 (02:03:57):
Absolutely, Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (02:04:00):
This is the gatekeeper, the enforcer of the set in
the sixth Destination, he lived forever. It's the right hand
of God. Sam Knight, I'm con House. Hey, we'll catch
you next time. Yeah, in your house with oconne Y. Connie,
