(00:59):
welcome to another episodic adventure. Thisis Takamania. I am one half of
Takamania. That is me. Hello, this is Dez and with me as
always Jay Bob say though yeah yeowyow yow yeah. I feel great this
week. I felt I was justset telling Jay that I went to SmackDown

(01:22):
last week, which was an amazingshow, by the way, really really
good. UM crowd was awesome,like I think even it was like all
over social media as well too.Is how great Montreal crowd was reacting as
opposed to the Toronto crowd from Mondaynight. Raw stinkers, but really really
cool show. Definitely heavily centered towardsSammy Zane Kevin Owens. Crowd love Sammy

(01:45):
Zane, I think, probably morethan Kevin Owens, but I don't know
it was. It was pretty closeat some points. But the fact that
they got to do their little interaction, the fact that the show was centered
a lot more towards Sammy Zane,even though SmackDown had been headed in that
direction, really cool show. Iwill say. They really weren't into Live

(02:06):
Morgan. Well that's the one thingI noticed, Like they're into everything everybody.
And then during the Live Borgan match, kind of a bit of a
you know, we were tired,maybe taking a break, taking a whizz.
What's the rest of the ww universefeeling I'll Live Morgan these days?
I think that's it. It's likewe like her, we respect her.
I think she's a journeyman, right, and then now when she has the

(02:28):
title, it's like, okay,well where they need to be making her
legitimate and they kind of are like, she hasn't dropped it yet, right,
you know, she managed to getby Ronda Rousy, you know,
with controversy, and look she's gota face off against Shana Basler now at
Clash the Castle. By the way, we got to do our predictions for
Clash at the Castle this evening.If you don't even please clash it's this

(02:49):
weekend. We got pay per viewClash the Castle on Saturday seems to always
be doing Saturdays now, which Ithink is amazing. And then AW all
Out on Sunday. All Out isthis Satday, Yes, sir, loaded
weekend, loaded weekend. I don'twant to predict AW already predicting AW.
I thought we would. Okay,we can. Then we'll see where we

(03:10):
get to. We'll see where weget to. Right, we're just starting
up the engine on this a WAall out is already yeah, and the
booking for it is like not Idon't know. There's lots of talk around
it and how it was like puttogether last minute. The build ups weren't
great compared to you if it's supposedto be considered, like, you know,
such a massive event for them.The card is kind of questionable,

(03:32):
and they've changed the matches last minute. There's lots of drama now going in
over at AW. That's one thingI wanted to talk about. You know,
we had the WWE triple H tookover control. Obviously people are have
all this wishful thinking that it's goingto change everything. And we've seen some
exciting things that we'll get into andwe've been seeing which is really cool,

(03:52):
optimistic. It's not all perfect.Me personally, I think RAW this past
week was pretty stinker. Was abit of a stinker. There were some
stupid segments in it that I'll alsomentioned. But um, for AW,
it's interesting and I don't know ifit's just the timing or what it is,
but seems like there's some drama goingon over there. It seems like
they're losing some steam. Still agreat product. I still tune in every

(04:14):
week and enjoy it, but itlooks like there's some stuff happening over there.
I don't know if the things areshifting I don't think they're shifting,
but well, the timing of it, right, You got to think of
it like Aw's honeymoon is definitely overright, and with Triple H being named,
that hymoon will be over soon aswell. Yeah, yeah, that
don't even will be over soon aswell. But it's like they literally signed

(04:38):
everybody they could in AW and thehoneymoon ends, then Triple H comes into
power, then Triple As resigning everybodythat Vince let go. Yeah, I
mean, I'm excited. I thinkas wrestling fans, it's pretty interesting.

(04:59):
They we're getting the again with witha new vision, with the with the
new you know, creative control ofTriple H and Stephanie and all that,
and and all the resigns. Imean every week you hear somebody new broun
Stroman apparently. Yeah, that's onething that I wanted to talk about quickly
here is we just we have allthese people that are that are bringing back
or that are reappearing in the wweWe've got Dexter Loomas back. Honestly,

(05:26):
I wasn't too into the India ofIndie Indie and and and and Dexter shit,
and now it's just perfect. Idon't know, somehow it's better.
And the way they brought him backwas just fantastic. I thought, I
think it's kind of cool that he'sjust kidnapping people from the crowd and just
they don't know what happens in thenext day. Like mis looks like he
got something up his ass. He'slike really paranoid this week, looking behind
corners, having flashbags. It's ait's a thing of beauty, man.

(05:51):
And uh, you know, youknow what I liked about Dexter though,
this this whole debut is like theymade it triple h. It is doing
all these little swerves, so theyhave now a tendency to put things happening
in the background. I don't knowif you saw that. I noticed it,
like while they're walking, instead ofit going like from one interview to
another, like walking and then allof a sudden I'll pan over and someone's

(06:12):
walking the other way. I thinkthat's a cool touch. Yeah, they
do stuff like that. But alsothe first week, and I don't think
you're really watching at this point intime, but I'm meant to ask you
about it, so you might havemissed it. Is when Dexter loomis really
was first coming. There was scenesthat we're going all night, so it
would be I think a tag teamwas having an interview in the backstage or
something, and then you saw orsomebody's having an interview and you saw a
crash car into a pillar and yousaw a do drop and Nicky Cross talking

(06:38):
at the car, and then anotherscene you see like some police been running
off on the side. And there'smultiple things that connect towards the end of
the episode, like into having DexterLoomis be there and like it was really
clever. Yeah, it was reallyclever. That's kind of shit that makes
you watch for three hours. Yeah, well you're like, oh, fuck
this match. You're like, youknow what, I'll go, but I'm
gonna leave it on or I'll tuneback in in twenty minutes. I don't

(06:59):
think. I don't I don't thinkthey can keep that up forever. I'd
be very impressed if they could.But I definitely liked it. Even when
h Bailey came back right after Survivorseries or Summer Slam, sorry they had
her and uh, there were multiplesegments a night. There were multiple segments
here in the night. Yeah,and and that kind of keeps you like,
Okay, there's a big storyline fromthe night before somebody big came out

(07:21):
that was always in Right now,there's one big story that's going on that
night, and then there'd be storiesthroughout the night. Correct. Yeah,
all the mid carters had mid cardstories, but the top or the most
popular story went on throughout the night. Yeah. Yeah, there was an
arc. There was an arc there, and that's actually why I remember.
I think the last time we talkedwas right after Survivor Summer Slam, and

(07:44):
I was disappointed that they ended theshow with with Ray Massirio instead of ending
it with Bailey in that storyline.I thought that was a miss on their
part. Yeah. I feel likethose three of I mean, like I
don't know, like if they've beenthey've been firing on a lot of good
cylinders right now. That sorry theWW but I do feel like those three
damage control. First of all,it's sonic. I mean, damage control

(08:07):
is a bit better than control,I do, It's way better than control.
Yeah, I hope it's damage control, um, and I hope somebody
sat them down like control. Comeon, guys, like really like some
of these names they think of herfactions is like so bad and like so
bad that I feel like they laughand like let's just do this one.
I don't know, like somebody's justreally lame. I don't know. The
nailed the bloodline, Yeah, ofcourse, because they had the bloodline.

(08:30):
Drooman probably came up with the namehimself, USO's did and it was I
feel like the fans came up withbloodline, to be honest, maybe I
remember hearing people calling them the bloodlinefor a long time online before they were
online. The bloodline online. Yeah, um, but the three women together,
Like, I don't know. Ithink I honestly feel since Bailey's been
back, she's not been nailing it. She's not been as hot as she

(08:54):
was when she left. I don'tI don't know. Maybe it was because
I remember her biggest thing was shehad a hard time adapting to the empty
arenas. But then she says whenthe arenas were empty, she was able
to just be a heel and turnit on. There's nobody there to judge
her, so she could just makethose mistakes. She didn't spend much time
back with the fans and until shegot injured, so I think she's readjusting
to like live crowds because her firstpromo is like she bombed it, you

(09:16):
know pretty much. And she she'seven called like Dakota Sky and EO called
her Dakota Sky or Yeah, she'slike been messing up some lines and catching
herself. And I actually like Bailey, so I want to see her definitely
kind of find a groove with thisrole. But the team itself and I
don't know, I don't know,I don't know, we'll see they're not.

(09:37):
They're not like I feel like they'retrying to be bigger and cooler than
they really are. I just feellike they haven't been like driving that they
tried really hard as a huge thingof summer, signed this reveal and it's
like, oh my god, awesome, and then like it hasn't really lived
up to the initial and initial hypeI guess for me, Yeah, and
then it would have been probably betteris if Bailey came back, and then

(10:00):
Dakota Kai came back, and theneoike Eo, Eo Shorai came back.
Yeah, and they just all foughteach other. I think the mentality behind
it is like they're putting them withBai League to kind of get them to
the main roster and they're they're they'rekind of like mentor and like probably in
real life too, it's like,we'll put you with and she'll teach you
everything you need to know. Andit doesn't speak English, right, and

(10:22):
she's all by yourself. I mean, I guess you could be the Oscar,
which that would make sense. Butwell, they fought, right,
Yeah, they finally did fight.Yeah. I can't wait to see what
they do together. That's that's whatI'm excited about. But it's usually a
good sign when they fight on theon the tours, right, that they're
gonna get it in a package.Yea, Yeah, I know eventually they'll
stick them into a tag team together, and I almost preferred that because I'd
like to see what they're able todo. But honestly, like, I

(10:45):
feel like they've really not been bookingOscar very well. And I know it
sounds stupid, but like, andit's fine, they don't need to book
her a specific way. But atthe same time, like if your place
kind of comes back in control,I guess I was helping hoping that he
would kind of look back at,you know, when she was dominant an
XT but right now she's just kindof like kind of floating, you know.
And isn't she in an alliance withBianca and she's kind of she's in

(11:07):
Yeah, she's so. I meanshe's going to be you're fighting at Clash
of the Castle, Clash Clash inthe Castle or whatever. Um, and
she's in this main storyline. ButI guess just like you know, she's
still like that down dancing goofy clown, right it. I don't know.
I just want to see she wasstill dancing and Goofy in an next team
man. Yeah, I don't know. I just beat the ship and people

(11:31):
in the ring and all she needsto like not talk. I feel like
she needs to be like a kindof like, um, I'm not saying
brock Lesner, but like treated aslike she goes out there, she doesn't
say much and she comes once ina while. They bring out once every
pay per view. Somebody wants tostep up and challenge her, and she
just has like an actual like rawwrestling match. Could That's one thing that
like AW has over that. Likethe main reason why I like AW is

(11:54):
like matches are different and you don'talways have the same signature moves and they'll
do things you haven't seen before.And you know, every wrestler has like
four or five moves. They playit safe and that's what you get in
every WW match. They haven't evenno change distriplation's been in. Yeah,
there has, I mean they wrestlelonger matches. He's been putting together matches
with like opponents that we haven't seenthat have good chemistry. Like there's been

(12:18):
some good matches and the shows aredefinitely improved, and it's kind of interesting
to see certain people come back.We saw Cross come back right and now
Guardano, which is going to beinteresting, and to have him debut as
well. It's just like a segmentwas like interesting, Yeah, Like I
guess it shows that their confidence.But now I'm wondering how he's gonna kind

(12:39):
of shape up on the on themain roster. The personalities there, the
wrestling ability is there, and Idon't want to be that guy, but
it's I'm more interested to see howhe's going to do with his size,
Like he is so small. Yeahhe's small, soul small like thought so
sall yeah, yeah he is tiny. Um, but I'm wondering if Keith

(13:03):
Lee and Adam Cole are like,oh no, you know, I don't
know. Sure Adam Cole's okay,I'm sure they all are. Okay,
maybe Keith Lee would have been likedamn, I would Keithley definitely would have
been brought back hands well you know, yeah he would have. You know
what they probably think, like,oh great, you know what, this
is awesome if this keeps on going, I got a great plan b when
my aw contract. Yeah, wellI know Adam Cole's with them to like

(13:24):
twenty twenty six or seven, whichis a while, but that's get to
come so fast. Look he's gothe's got enough money. He gets to
work with his friends, he getsto work with his wife, he gets
the game. Like for me ifI was him, like this is the
quality of life, and that jobmust be really good for his quality of
life, you know, in sanityand not doing the w W thing and
like they wanted him to be amanager and cut his hair and like that's

(13:45):
stupid. Like they're so out oftouch, and they still are out of
touch, but definitely making strides atmaking those big improvements. Dude, I
sent you that promo between Riddle andRawlins. What do you think fucking that's
what we need, man, that'swhat we need. It's exactly what we
need. I enjoyed it. WhatI liked about that also is like it

(14:07):
showed that riddle, Like I mean, obviously it's like, oh hot,
Mike picked up after the Obviously weknow that's not true. But the fact
that like they let them drop thebombs, which is fine, But like
what I liked most about it,First all seth Rons played it really well,
like looking into looking into his souland then riddle, I'm happy to
see that he can get serious.Yeah that was good. That was good,

(14:28):
and the way he reacted to wasnot not unrealistic either. Yeah,
that's yeah. Yeah what did yousay? Excuse me, what did you
say? Yeah? Yeah, itwas really good. Um, coming back
to the Oscar thing, I know, um, what was the pirate's name?

(14:48):
Ky you're saying? Yeah, seeif Kyrie SAYD and EO were both
there, it would be cool ifthey were, like I don't know,
a little bit of a mini factionand then they can call upon Oscar got
a fuck shit up? Yeah,or they have like a little Yakuza faction
knock more in there. Man,Oh dude, he could dress like a
pimp. Daddy, if you wantedto with the ladies, Oh my god,

(15:13):
that would be yeah, Tazawa wouldbe a little bit and it'd be
so racist, but I bet youthey would love it. I mean they
like, sure, we can alltalk to each other and get along and
travel together. Why not? Man? Like, I know it'd be super
racist, but I think it wouldbe funny, even if they were like
a badass team in the ring,but like totally comedy off but like cool
when they had to be. Andthen whenever they talked there there was dubbing

(15:33):
over their voices. Oh no,yeah, that would be a little bit
disrespectful, but that was funny kindtime. It was a great dude,
it would be great. It wouldbe great. There's only so far you
can go in today's day and age. Okay, so a little bit of
a flashback here. Remember when wewere talking the show about um m JF

(15:54):
Yeah, and how we thought,oh, this must be a work while
they're doing such a good job.Where the fuck? I don't know.
I guess he took time off.Maybe he signed a new deal. I
imagine, like look, okay,I imagine to a low dud. Mjoff
is not a guy who wants totake time off. He's not a guy
who wants to take time off,and he's not a guy that you would

(16:15):
want off your television when you're right, you know, yeah, you're right.
Everything you everything you just said iscorrect. Yeah, ever sent I
agree with you? So something's up. So I don't know. I still
think. I still think it's awork. There's no way, but it's
the ultimate. Might imagine sitting ina room and being like, let's do
the ultimate work. But it requiresyou to like go and do that promo,
because Tony, you would fire him. Look at the stuff he said
on TV. That's obviously fake.Right, we know that there's some kind

(16:36):
of agreement like take time off,but like go ahead and like burn up,
you know, do a crazy promos, do whatever your pipe bomb is
or your your version of one.Hired him, got enough, tied him,
see him punk, got enough timeon the microphone to do what he
did in WWE. Do you thinkyou think they even know? You think
Tony Connie even knows how to turnoff a microphone. He was probably like

(16:57):
this, no, no, no, So I's like Tony, He's like
what the fact that you're thinking that? Like his speech was real like that.
I don't think his speech was real. I think it was a work.
But I think that there is somethinggoing on. Man. You don't
keep him off TV. You keephim off TV for two weeks tops,
Dude, he's not even at allout unless he comes back at all out

(17:17):
whatever it was like even it waslike okay, sign take time off,
come back, like you know,all out or something like that, maybe
or all when he's gonna come backthis weekend. I'm not exactly sure.
I don't think he's in any positionto one time off. I think if
you said, sign, I'll giveyou money to take time off. I
think if you're a guy like mJF, you think that's short short,
short term thinking for your career.Yeah, you're at the point now unless

(17:38):
he comes back at all out okay, and somehow I don't fucking know,
just like whoever wins between cmpunk andMonks that he just attacks him and he's
right in the picture. I don'tknow, man, I guess for like
people like I guess from his perspectiveas well, like all the people are
coming in. Cmpunk came in,you know, Adam Cole came in.

(18:00):
He's remember how like it was onlya matter time till m JF was put
in that spot. And then nowat this point, it's like, well
when do I get my spot?Like where do I fit in there?
And maybe he feels that way aswell too, like that's like Cody he
was in he was and he stilldoes. He still does, but like
where is he he's nowhere? Idon't know. When's the last time he's

(18:22):
been on TV since his promo?And that was what that's gotta be like
three months ago? Yeah, threemonths ago. Yeah, I don't know.
I still believe it's a work because, um, I don't know.
Tony's a weird booker though, right, he does strange things, so he
may be like, let's do theultimate thing where like we literally just make
them forget about you, you know, take some time, cool your head
off. Here's a bunch of money, will resign you. I don't know,

(18:45):
maybe maybe it's not. But eitherway, like at the end of
the day, they both like eitherif he's staying or he's not. They
knew he was gonna go out thereand cut that promo. What, Yeah,
I agree with that. I agreewith that for sure. What do
you think about everything that's going onin the locker room, you know,
with saying Omega, you know,with the with the chat he had and
people thought some people thought he wastrying to let a fire. Then I

(19:07):
mean the stuff with the wall spray, the thing was will all spring when
they went off air. For surewas was a work. But I do
feel like Omega had a little bitof like fuck you attitude in him too.
It looks like that when I seethem talking with each other, I
see think Keny Omega kind of isa little bit arrogant, to be honest
with you, I feel like he'sgotten arrogant. Maybe that's just my perception.
I maybe he's always been arrogant.Maybe maybe he's awesome athlete, great

(19:30):
wrestler, So you know, Iunderstand, I don't understand. I'm just
saying, but apparently, yeah,they needed to talk. They had a
pep talk with everybody, kind oflike a town hall addressing some things,
talking about how wwes reach out toa few people about their contracts. And
then Tony Khan should himself and apparentlyKeny Omega stepped in and like I guess

(19:51):
as one of the EVPs, youknow, he wants to be a locker
room. Somebody wants to be thelocker room leader, and I understand what
Keny Omega would want to be.And yeah, apparently he just some tough
love, so you know whatever.I think I'm more interested in the drama
between behind thunder Rosa. I thinkthat's hilarious. What's going on with that?
She interim right should Yeah, wellso she had to drop the title

(20:12):
and like had to do this backstagepromo where she's basically there's gonna be another
interim champion and she's crying and shehas an injury. Well it's weird,
man. You keep hearing these storiesabout her, like the bad attitude,
politicking, sandbagging as well, likeeven britt Baker like made sandbagging shirts or
or something like that, Like itwas always making fun of her because well

(20:32):
you could tell with thunder Rose doesn'tlike somebody in the ring, Like there's
videos out there of her exclusively doingthat and like making her opponent look bad
or not selling for them or sandbagging. So apparently britt Baker and her don't
get along and they really haven't reallymuch ever. They'll work together though,
of course, right, but apparentlyin the match at the last pay per
view or the last one of thelast title defenses against Jimmie Hayter. Thunder

(20:56):
Rosa broke Jimmy Hayter's nose and shekicked in the back of the head or
something at some point. I don'tknow if it was in the same move,
but apparently JB. Hitter was furiousand thunder Rosa locked herself in the
bathroom and wouldn't come out because shewas I guess afraid, you know,
or I don't know whatever reason.So people are saying, is she really
injured or people tired of under Rosaor there's Tony Khn just sending her away

(21:21):
to let things cool down, sopeople aren't really they're falling apart. Well,
it's interesting. I mean, lookat Eddie. So we had Eddie
Kingston with Sammy Guivara, right,so they were leading on to having a
match at the pay per view thisSunday, and Eddie Kingston cut like a
scathing promo on on Sammy Guevara atlike a signing, which was really good.

(21:41):
And then Sammy Guavara went in thering and he kind of promo on
Eddie Kingston and it was really itreally really mean. It was great.
Though he called something like Eddie Kingston, you're just like everybody in this crowd,
a fat piece of shit. Ijust upping in the crowd and being

(22:02):
called a fat a way to drawheat. I love it. I love
it. Eddie got super mad aboutthat because he's like, you the fuck
you don't call me fat? Becausehe's really sensitive. Up. I guess
about that. Well, don't befat, Eddie. I mean yeah,
but I like he's kind of likethe everyman, right, he's like a
guy well you know, or he'snot every man every man who's who's been
on drugs. Guy looks he's doneso much below listen. I relate to

(22:23):
Eddie Kingston and Kevin Kevin Owens forlooking like big sacks of shit. But
I still think I'm a big sackof shit. I don't feel empowered by
them in any sense. I gothat fat piece of shit knows what it
feels like to be a fat pieceof shit. He should stop being a
fat piece of shit. No,no, I know. Uh So,
Anyways, they got in an altercationbackstage, and I think, like Eddie

(22:45):
like face palms or a kind ofsmack givar in the face or something.
He got suspended for like a weekor two, and then they said,
okay, well he's back from suspension. They made up. They made up
in real life and the match gotpulled and it's not not the card anymore.
So I don't know, so StuffyKingston is not at all out,

(23:06):
No, not happening anymore. Whatis this? Yeah? Also, you
know that they pulled in the UndisputedElite, right, we got Kyle O'Reilly,
Adam Cole and Bobby Fish. Ithought Bobby Fisher's toast. Now,
well that's it. It's like theycome in, they barely even get their
run started. Everybody gets injured,he gets, Adam Cole gets concussed,

(23:26):
and Bobby Fish is just waiting aroundfor matches and apparently Aw's not resigning him,
and it's like, well if hewanted, the Undisputed are like what
what what did you waste? Art? Like what what you know? And
roder Strong probably gonna be freezing too, So it seems to me like it
was whatever man me. Bobby Fishalso is like peace out man, maybe
you know trouble in Paradise. Youknow Bobby Fish could do. He's been

(23:48):
around a long time, right,Bobby Fish is like, you know,
at the end of his career andhe's you know, but here's a thing.
Well, I'm not going to speakfor him, but he very well
could just be like, you knowwhat news a long time and an n
XT aw not for me. I'mgonna go be a coach trainer at w
Maybe yeah, yeah, like Iguess He'm totally doing that, or maybe
he calls up TRIPS and goes,hey, trips. Gargano, champall gi

(24:11):
be one of those officials that arelike, you know, to come out
like I'm not m peers but likethe bodyguards like Jane j security or something.
I don't know, Like he's hecan go, he can wrestle,
and apparently he's a good guy andhe's a good trainer. So Gargano,
Champa and Fish should just say trips. It's call some black and gold man.

(24:33):
Let us be a disgruntled factions.We're always no, you're you're showing
me right now that you're not watchingthe product, because that wouldn't help.
I'm not Yeah, I am notNXT right now. To me, I
watch it and like the matches arestill good, right, Like I don't
watch NXT at all and don't doit in n x T dude in main
roster. What I was gonna say, Actually, I'm gonna go back on

(24:53):
what I said that all the matchesaren't great. Um, they used to
be, but now it's like it'sreally weird when you watch it. I
feel like the best comparison, it'slike the glee of wrestling. Well that's
gay. It's like, yeah,everything's super bubbly and I don't know,
I don't care. Yeah, thecharacters, you know, Sean Michaels came

(25:15):
out and tried to stand up forit, and he's like, no,
no, no, this is likemy creation. So I was like he
was taking the heat for it.I think, yeah, that's what I'm
meant, that's what I'm Yeah.I was like that, dude, just
let it sink. Yeah yeah,I mean you know what they're changing it
though. They're basically making it likeyou're gonna go through there, You're not
going to be there for a longtime. If you're successful, we're gonna
judge you. We might let yougo, he might pass you forward.
And then its whole design is tobe like like you're not supposed to be

(25:37):
there for long and go The mainroster, which worries me. How fashion
they're gonna pump them into the mainroster and start bumping other people. If
I see somebody likes good enough thatTiffany Stratton girl like coming onto the main
roster and being Oscar, I'm gonnalose it. Man. Oscar should always
be like a gatekeeper or somebody likemake her be there at WrestleMania and like,
you know, someone has a fightat WrestleMania or what, or have

(25:59):
her each of the Big four.It's always like an Oscar on one of
the big like a Roman Rain typedeal, and she only shows up there,
you know, and somebody like willchallenge her. You know, there'll
always be that match every four.Yeah, but you know what, Like
I get what you're saying. Ithink her career, she's deserving in that
base on her career and her annextrun. I don't think she's there yet

(26:19):
just because of her w W run. But it's not because of her,
it's because of the way she's putYeah, I know, but she does
need to go dark, and sheneeds to be mean, and she has
to get rid of those colors,and I think she needs a new song.
Yeah, maybe I was thinking thesame thing. I love her song,
but like, I don't know,I was thinking the same thing this
week, even after she's never repackaged, and then after she wins too,
it's like the song is just isweird sometimes. Um talking about careers they

(26:44):
had. We're gonna get cut offthough. We have a minute in forty
five seconds? Can we go tobreak. I'll restart the zoom so I
don't have to edit. Yeah,okay, let's do that. All right,
So we're back. We're gonna talkabout cern angle. I'm assuming you're

(28:15):
too seriously. They come find usat Boots to the Face on Spreaker,
Hi, iTunes, Google Play,Spotify, and our Heart Radio. We're
saying Tanna Garrett's favorite podcast. Let'sBoot to the Face with the number two
as ally guys, welcome back talkingto me and ya Curt Angle? What

(28:38):
were you gonna say? Curt Angle? They had him on Raw this past
week. They were in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania, So I get it. You
know, crowd loves him. Greatto see him as well too. He
just recently announced that he might comeout of retirement to rest in for one
last match. And I was excited, obviously because I didn't like the match
with Brand Corbyn, but I alsoknew how kind of stiff he was,

(28:59):
right, He kind of seemed veryfrail and stiff. So this week they
tried to recreate something. He cameout with his robes on cool. He
went into like this shishing argument withChad Gable, which I thought was really
lame. And I thought it wasit was I don't know the shoeshes were
annoying at some point, but Iguess the shoes is supposed to be annoying,

(29:19):
ayah, And then basically goes onto drink some milk with the street
profits and I thought like, okay, fair enough, but if you're gonna
do it, go like big.And I thought them having those street like
little milk jugs looked really lame forme. It was like really kind of
gaggy and very like Vince McMahon wwthing they would do. Like to me,
I was like, this is superold style. Like they had this

(29:41):
old guy come in involved in amatch and he's sitting there on a chair
and like, honestly, like,I love here angle. He's definitely one
of the best in my top tenof all time that I like us wrestlers
for sure, But he looked sofrail and he looked released, you know,
when you started getting really old.He's old boss, yeah, yeah,
And he had these he always hadthese dark baby blue eyes, and

(30:03):
his eyes are very blue, butthey're so blue it looks like, you
know, you get the yeah beforeyou know, before you go blind,
you know, the blue in theeyes the canac Yeah, the canabact guys.
It's like, oh, no,Kurt, what happened. But at
the same time, it's great tosee him there. I just felt that
it was a bit cheesy, abit forced, and I don't know,
I just again raw for me,this past week was like, other than
the rawlins and riddle stuff, therewere some good stuff. I mean,

(30:27):
it's three hours, obviously there's somegood stuff in there. But um,
yeah, I don't know. Itwasn't didn't do it for me. Um
well, he was just a gueston John Burnhall's podcast, you know John
Burnthall, No, I do not. He's Shane from Walking Dead, right,
explained this to me before. Yeah, so he was just on his

(30:49):
show. Apparently Shane from Walking Dead'smarried to Kurt Angele's niece, so he's
kind of his uncle in a senseanyways. But all right, so,
yeah, the Kurt Angle thing onthe podcast good Listen. Didn't listen to
the whole thing, but listen toI don't know me five ten minutes of
it anyways, just goes on totalk about you know, his drugs,

(31:11):
drug problems and his low self esteemand stuff. So you know, if
he does come back to WW,I think they'd be pretty cool. But
it does look a little sorry havinghim go out in his last match against
Corben. He finally comes back,it was just like and I just think,
give him the rub the Corbin.But what has Corban done since?
Right? Like, come on,what do you mean he did? Well?
He's the man on his own corbon. He's the man on his own

(31:32):
merit like he's on putting in thatwork. But what have they done with
him in terms of like storyline pushinghim? Right? They had him build
bad Cat Moss up and but Idon't know if you've seen now he's going
through a losing streak and he'd becomingsad again. Oh good, so it
should be he should always be sad. Yeah, because Mad Cat Moss doing
anything right now, he's kind ofbuilding. They're building him up like towards

(31:53):
mid Card. I would say hehas like just black jeneric short, it's
like no identity. Um, butI he's building a rapport with the fans.
He's a hard worker, so Iguess there's that that's not bad.
So the women's tag team title tournament, they had that and people thought the
obviously the obvious win was gonna bea Dakota Kai and EO and in the

(32:17):
end Raquel Gonzalez Rodriguez one and AliyahAliyah is a tag team champion. Aliyah
the biggest job of NXT. Wow. But here's the thing, right,
so people are like, what thatdoesn't make any sense, you know,
like, why would you put putthe titles on them? I feel like
this is unexpected. Everyone was like, what this makes no sense? And

(32:38):
apparently Dakota Kai got pinned and she'slike, I'm not the legal woman,
so there's like, oh yeatory theycan play with it. But at the
same time, it's like it helpsmake those two established, the two girls,
right who People were like, Aliahand Raquel, who are these people?
I'm sure they always gonna want topush a Spanish woman as well too.
They want to hit those demographics.She's a monster, you know,
she's a bit of a giant.Um. So yeah, I guess,

(33:01):
Look, it's it's not something theywould normally do. It's surprised a lot
of people. It got us talking. So that's something different at least for
you know, it's something different,So it's different. It doesn't necessarily mean
no, I know, no,Yeah, you're right, there is that
you got to you gotta keep thatin mind. But I don't know.
I'm terested to see where this goes. And here's the thing, right,
we know who's coming back, Sashand Naomi. Right, they're gonna come

(33:22):
back for those titles. So doyou want them to come back and kick
the shit out of EO Sky andDakota Kai just set up the bat and
squash their momentum. Nah, they'regonna come back again Selia and Raquel and
win those tag team titles, whichis silly they like what you know,
like Mightael just like had them bringthem back, or I don't or have
to be part of the tournament orbe the finals in the tournament, or

(33:42):
it just seems weird, yeah,or the show up. We finally have
a champion, We finally the champion, and then they come back and it's
like, well, if we onlygot a champion now, you might as
well have just held on to them. But that's yeah, that's it.
That's it, right, they walkedout. Here's the thing, right,
Like, okay, cool, theywork something out. I don't know what
they worked out. Sasha must havesnade some demands and they're like, okay,

(34:02):
this tag team, the tag teamtitles need this much focus. Or
I want to WrestleMania win, orI want a title run, or I
want a bonus, or I wantfreedom, create a freedom. I don't
know what it's gonna be. Um, I can't believe this will be the
last time that Sasha gets angry.I'll say that at the very least,
I couldn't bet. I could betup. She should come back and just
be like, listen, I getwhat I want, and when I don't,

(34:23):
I leave. I'm making a storyline. I think Rutger Heads was onto
a good idea and he said basicallythey should come back, and you know,
by some way or the other,m Naomi turns on Sasha, joins
the bloodline and beasts to ship outof Sasha and it's like, look what
you cost be. You know,like, I've listened to your advice,

(34:45):
and you know I wasn't making moneyand you were out in Hollywood making money.
I don't I don't. I'm kindof speaking for what the reasoning is,
but finding some way to make youknow her flip on Sasha make Sash
of the face and Naomi had ultimateheel and have her joined the bloodline.
Um, I think she should beany with them anyway. Now Ami gets
in the bloodline, I'm on board, dude. Do you know Sammy Zane's

(35:07):
in the Bloodline now right? Well? Yeah, there was a graphic at
the bottom of the screen saying comingup the Bloodline, and Sammy Zane was
like in the photo wait for itthough, Oh yeah, he's gonna get
it. He's gonna get I thinkKevin Owens and Sammy Zane are gonna be
the ones to take those tag titlesI do, and that'd be great.

(35:28):
They should have done in Montreal.They should wait until they go to Montreal.
I managine the crowd pop through thetake ting tails of Montreal. Oh
my god, Oh my god.Hey, Survivor Series is a Boston this
year is Survivor Series always sucks though, Yeah, but it's Boston. It's
a Big four, It's right.Yeah, I'd rather just save the energy
and go go to Rumbol. Where'sfar Where's it? Next year. It's

(35:52):
deep in the South. I'm prettysure. You're pretty sure. Let's see,
I'm gonna say Texas or Seattle.Seattle's not in the South, but
so far from us. That's notI'm just saying it's far. They might.
They might not even have announced ityet, right, they haven't.
They haven't. They've done rump.They know Wrestleman is gonna be in Philly.

(36:15):
I want to do a rumble,though. It's an early speculat Okay,
this is three weeks ago and it'san early speculation. And the early
speculation is San Antonio, Texas.There, that's the early speculation. But
yes, of course, wow,yeah, probably I feel like Texas.
I think like the rumble in Texasis like, you know, I don't
know, it always happens. Yeah, I don't know. I think,

(36:36):
yeah, I don't know. Ithink they should do a rumble in Montreal.
Man, the crowd is so loud, the countdowns, people coming out,
it would be so loud. Itwould be so loud off the hook.
Yeah, but it would be liketree two or No. They might
make us have to do that atthat point. But build a six Oh
my god, I'm reading a tweetfrom Mero or reading an article about and

(37:00):
potentially being an unhappy and a wand rumor is that Miro has asked for
his AW release. People will speak, I will talk, and this could
be a complete bullshit, but heput out some tweets that were kind of
interesting as well too during the similartiming. But you know, that is
somebody that people often talk about likewhere is he? And every time he's
on TV on AW he's fantastic.You know. The thing is like the

(37:22):
eater of worlds that he is,Like, I really like this. He
doesn't really even have like I guesshe talks in riddles and rhymes all that
stuff, but when he comes out, he's just a beast. And that's
zalid Miro does. Right now.He has these backstage promos where like he's
talking to himself or talking to Godor referring to himself as holy, and

(37:44):
he always mentions his wife once ina while. So I always feel like
Lana is going to be brought in, and maybe Tony will be like,
look, we don't want to loseyour Miro. We want to keep you
happy. How about we bring Lanain for a bit or CJ in for
a bit, and that might keephim a little bit longer. It might
be interesting to see two Like thereare wrestlers in aw where I'm like,
they probably thrive in AW Like awesometo see Claudio there, like Cesaro,

(38:07):
um really cool to see the PUSH'she's getting Ring of Honor Champion. I've
taken serious. He's in a factionwith Moxley and Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan
I also feel as being squandered inAW um but big time, big time.
But Cesarro like, I'm sorry,if you go back to w W
after this, you're gonna go bethe same. Cesarre almost likely at least

(38:28):
at this point, at least atthis point, at least at this point
he is. And Daniel Bryant,Like, remember Daniel Bryan came in the
Ovation crowd was like, oh mygod, he was challenging Kitty Omega,
Hangman Page or whatever it was,and then like completely dropped off the face
of the earth, Like I know, you had He's going up against Jericho,
so it's an interesting match, Butthen they got thrown together. You
know, I mean, you're gonnasay at WWE vers WWE, but at

(38:51):
the same time, you know,it's it's in an aw ring, it'll
be a good wrestling match. ButI think in general, like if all
the people that came in, likeyou know, Punk and Adam Cole,
like daniel'brien. Man, daniel'brian,he's like one of the best wrestlers in
the world. He's great in themic. He can do a great storyline.
Why is he not put in thetitle picture? Why is he not
challenging for the title. Why ishe on every other Dynamiter rampage? It's

(39:16):
weird because this is Danna Bryant,like too many cooks in the kitchen.
Man, I don't know. Andthen you gotta see him Punk coming in.
He faced off against Mox So yousaw that match, right, It
was like three minutes and he wasIt was so confusing because everybody was asking
so many questions and was confused andthe booking was strange, but you know,
it got people talking, So I'mlike, Okay, well maybe this

(39:37):
is a weird Tony con like strategyof making something very strange. People are
talking and then they'll do a twist. But this week, but to follow
up was just like his foot wasfine, He's walking out talking about the
injury. Really, Oh, maybeI came back too soon, doubting himself,
crying to the crowd, like beingemotional, and then some you know,
the guy comes down. We alldon't know. I don't know who

(39:58):
he was, so it wasn't aseffective on me. But I did learn
after the fact who he was andmotivates him. And then he jerks off
with his Chicago crowd, and uh, this guy who lost in three minutes
all of a sudden gets at himmatch again, Like is what what?
It's open contract? He makes anopen contract. The guy goes and steals

(40:19):
the open contract in the ring andif he saw that, yeah, yeah,
and then like he gives to seehim punk and like this is the
fault to explain what happened, Likewhat happened last week? We go back?
What the fuck happened last week?Three minutes? Did did see him
punk get in trouble? Because youheard that he shut off an Adam Page?
Right? No? I didn't hearthat. There's a promo that he
had when he came back off hisinjury and before he talked about Moxs.
So he's like, I want totalk about Adam Page because Adam Page disrespected

(40:40):
him and apparently he held that personally, so he spouts off at him,
challenges him to come down and say, you know, I'll kick your ass
right now, come down, Comedown. That's a cowboys shit. That's
pussy shit, that's bullshit, youknow whatever you call it, pussy shit.
I don't know what it was.But anyways, he took shots at
Adam Page, called him out.He wasn't expected. He didn't come out
with them, not come out ofthe ring, and it was like,

(41:01):
dude, you held on too thatfor months, so like really weird,
and I felt like people felt likemaybe he'd lost the three minutes to be
punished for kind of being out ofline going in for business to him with
himself. All these rumors about himnot being easy to work with backstage again,
but again could just be rumors.Um But then again, like loses
the title y just so he couldwin back in Chicago, Like if he

(41:24):
beats Moxley, that's gonna be stupid. He's got to lose against Moxley.
I really hope. I think mPunk's thing is like he is very like
he seems like he went in there, you know he likes a w but
I think he likes the high hegets from the crowd, in the Chicago
crowd, and he lives off that. It's like he just lives off it.
And I'm noticing, Like I'm Iwas always as punk fan in WWE,

(41:46):
and I was excited from an awand but like all he's doing,
not all he's doing. He wrestledmatches, but like I just feel like
every time he's out, he's onthe mic crying about something he sucks and
then getting sympathy and then like I'mgonna leave, I'm gonna come back.
I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna comeback. Oh maybe I can't do this

(42:06):
anymore. But I can't do this. And it's like, oh, man,
just fuck kicks him ass being anasshole, being an asshole kicks him
ass. Yeah, he should bemore cocky, he needs to be a
heel. I mean, he doescaptivate the fans, like I did.
Watch the clip of him he walkedinto the fans after and I know it's
Chicago, Well no shit, dude, Yeah, but still like he takes

(42:29):
advantage of that. He loves heloves it, and I get it.
It must give you lots of anadrenaline and it's his hometown. But like
I think somebody said in at Moxley, he said, like, yeah,
I hope you're you'll come facebe inChicago. And if you have any like
you know, um, you feellike you have any last breath in you
or last chances you can kick myass, it better be in Chicago because
this is the city that made you. And it's true because in a sense,

(42:52):
like you know, Sampunk obviously puttinga lot of work. He did,
he did, you know the miles, Um, the crowd loves him.
But I think so the crowd isyou know, they're super loud,
right like that pop when he cameback in Chicago, like people were talking
about it. But if you wouldhave went to like you know, I
don't know, Philadelphia or Buffalo orwhatever, like, would it have been
as big pretty big? But stillit's Chicago, and I'm sure he loves

(43:15):
that. He loves the Chicago crowd. A lot of history there, which
I mean, you know, it'syour hometown. Went on, right,
Fuxampunk, All right, let's getinto our castle predictions because I see that
clock ticking. All right, we'lldo it right now. It's so fu

(43:36):
Jay Boss Credicious definitely like pass.I don't know, like some castle flute
music. We should have had somethingprepared. Alright, guys, So the
w B talent, they're already,they're already in the UK right now.
They tape SmackDown. So what yousaw see tomorrow is lies lies. Wow.

(44:00):
Oh it's taped well yeah, becausethey're all in the UK. Okay
for SmackDown, I could say clashof the Castle, slash the Castle during
the day. Um, I guessit might be. And I like that.
Let me see what time is itat? Um? Looking here Shamus

(44:20):
one of the final five Way onePMS tune. Interesting. Cool? I
get to have up, you know, nurseure hangover, have a cup of
coffee and watch some wrestling. Interesting. That's exciting. Cool. Thanks for
a better weekend. Yeah, andI was gonna bring my family out.

(44:43):
Dodged a bullet. I'm joking.All right, Uh, what do you
want to start here? All right, we'll start Let's do this Edge and
Rain Mysterio with Dominanic Masterio versus aJudgment, Dave Finnballer, Damian Priest,
Rhea Ripley. So, um,I guess I'll fill in some blanks because
as you haven't been watching the productthat's consistent, I kind of know what's
going on there. So Dominic Mysteriois kind of teasing going over the dark

(45:06):
side Ria rip Police, kind oflike his Dominatrix. She keeps like beating
his ass and carrying him around,and like he likes it, I think,
but like we don't know it yet, and I don't know E've been
kind of teasing him turning for likeat least a month or two now,
so I have to think this isit. My my guest is going to
be the Judgment Day winning. Ithink they need to win because they've lived,

(45:28):
They've lost quite a lot. Tosay for him, they picked up
like a win I think this pastweek or so, but when they as
they formed then their individual matches andstuff, they have lost quite a bit.
And I think somebody brought that upand since then Judgment Day has been
picking up a few wins. Idon't think Edge and Ray Mysterio will need
to I think the whole story hereis gonna be a Dominic and Ray and
how that plays off. I don'tknow what Edge moves on to next or

(45:51):
if he continues with the Judgment Day, but I see this is a turn.
This is the turn for Dominic Mysterio, and they will lose it.
They will cost Edge and Ray thematch against the Judgment Day. Who will
win? I mean the fact thatRay Mysterio is still relevant, I mean
crazy, you're still seeing him onthe cardy yeah, yeah, I mean

(46:13):
I'm done with it. He lostan eye to seth Rawlins. How is
he still around? I don't know, man, I got no answer for
that. Yeah, yeah, comeon, the Judgment Day is gonna win
the bigger picture here, all right, this is a match. Actually,
I'm really looking forward to the factthat it's in the UK. You got
Gunther, who's the Intercontental champion againstShamus. The brawling brutes will be there,

(46:36):
so that'd be fun. Butch iscool so on. Actually i'll tell
you on the spoiler of SmackDown,Butch wrestled the match and he was wearing
his Pete Dunn attire. Oh soyeah, I don't know that yet though,
Yeah, yes, yeah, anywherelike the White Beater in this in
the slacks. So they getting somepeople their names back. Hey, Matt
Riddle is Matt Riddle again? AndI believe they're planning on moving Austin Theory

(46:58):
back, but Austin's actually act askingto not get Austin back. He wants
to only be theory. So it'sinteresting Austin theories a lot better than theory.
Well apparently when he was doing likebackyard wrestling and indie wrestling, he
was always Theory, so that nameis like more important to him, he
says, And like Austin is likewhatever, I'll take it or leave it.
But I know they're not have it, so okay, but I with

(47:19):
you. I do prefer Austin Theory, but you know whatever, So yeah,
Guns, they're taking on Shamus Man. So that was the I see
title championship or being challenge matched.That's SmackDown really great matched. You know,
Sammy Zing got injured, he cameback towards the end, crowd got
really into it. But Shamus wonand I was actually really excited that he
did because Daddy getting gun through versusShamus. Dude, this is going to

(47:43):
be marketing, it's going to bebrutal. Yeah, and here's another fun
fact. Shamus has never won theIntercontinental Championship and that's the one title that
he's missing, so it's kind ofone thing that's been played into it a
little bit, and I'm sure they'llmention it during the match. I'm really
excited for this one. Would thatmake him a full time slam slammery champion,
whatever you call it. I don'tknow, like a brand slam,

(48:05):
I don't know. I don't knowif there's one for like every single title,
a name for every single title,but there's like you get one each
time. I don't know, there'sdifferent combinations. I know you'd he's never
won the IC, right, He'snever won the IC. But I think
the US title, No, Ithink the US title accounts. I think
it's like tag team title, worldtitle, mid tier title, and I
think the US titled counts. IfI'm not mistaken. That's stupid, yeah,
stupid yeah. And I think alsoyou're it either could have been European

(48:30):
or intercontinental well as well. Atsome point I could see like European in
the US being the same. ButI see as I see man. Yeah,
No, I'm with you. Um. Look, I think since he
won the title recently, they wantto showcase how much of a force he
can be. He went with theNXCUK title for quite some time. I
will say he's not as intimidating ashe used to. Since he's slimmed down,

(48:53):
he also looks really old, likeyou're gonna c gun thing and be
like, dude, he looks likehe's forty. He's actually like in his
twenty late twenties or early thirties orsomething. Again, he's yea, yeah,
yeah, he's really young. I'lltell you right now, Gunther is
thirty five, my bad thirty five. Well he's still still young. Yeah
yeah, but he remember where youthinned out, like, he's a lot
more jolly now, very like itlooks a lot older. Anyways. Uh,

(49:16):
it's gonna be a great match.Shamus is going to be there to
kind of help again, you know, put over younger talent. I think
at the same time, he's hada good career himself. I like the
idea of Shamus winning that icy title. Maybe they pass it back and forth,
but I think it's better if itsticks on gun through that way,
you can establish him as like adominant force. Also, you know,
people could get used to Gunther alittle bit more than Walter. They should

(49:37):
bring back Walter, but whatever,I don't know, Gunther sounds cooler than
Walter. Ride of friends too much, man friend. I don't even think
of friends. We're here Gunther becausebecause yeah, I just see him like
Nazi, very Nazish. All right, all right, this one didn't sound

(49:58):
good. This is a big,juicy one. Matt Riddle has allowed his
personal life to spill into B programming, which is interesting. You know,
these guys go back quite a bitbecause his wife, Riddle's wife would run
her mouth and talk about like Beckyand Seth at one point, and I
think Matt Riddle was like, oh, it wasn't me, you said it.
It was my wife. And Ithink set didn't really want to work

(50:20):
with Riddle, didn't take him seriously. He thought he was a bit of
a clown. And I guess nowhe's working with him, maybe he sees
things a bit differently. Sets doingsome of the best work, even though
he's not being booked always the best. Like I find like his commitment and
his character works always great. Andyeah, Matt Riddles seeing a serious side
of him has been really refreshing andreally good. It looks like it's like
personal, but I think they're justdoing a really good job at convincing of

(50:45):
this this of us. You know, the back parking lot brawl was obviously
you know, stage and it's prettyobvious, but it's kind of cool to
doing different things and trying different thingsand trying different shots and different angles and
you see these little changes in tweakshere and there, which is really cool.
So really excited for this one.But I'm gonna have to say that

(51:07):
I think Seth Rawns is gonna winthis one. I think he kind of
needs to. He took like threel's to Cody Rhodes. I think he's
taken a couple of losses after that. At the same time, I think
Matt Riddle, you know, he'sa guy that can lose and then win
the big one when need to.Plus he'll still be getting the rub from
Seth. In the meantime, Sethneed to build up that credibility a little

(51:27):
bit more. Again, Seth Rawnsis gonna win this match. It'll be
good though. I think it'll bea good match, a good hard hitting
match, lots of knees, alot to kick, some flips, and
some curb stumps. Yeah, it'sgonna be good. I hope they start
this match off with just some likefucking brawling Seth Rons. Let's take a
second to just admire the fact thathe's not had a title match or a
title line story in a while andhe's still top of the car top tier.

(51:53):
He's fucking awesome. I will saythis, though, I think Matt
Riddle beats him. Really I don't. But Metal's being great. His development
has been amazing. I like thefact that he broke away from this whole
Randy thing and he's being his owncharacter and he's able to be serious and
believable and kind of believably serious,like not like goofy, I'm stowed or

(52:14):
I can keep a straight face.Like I know the whole hot mic thing
was fake, but um, hereacted pretty really a little bit quite realistically,
and I believe that he was angryand maybe I ask all these questions
and the fact that they're going alittle bit edgier after ten pm, it
seems um is really cool and notjust like be's and s's like you know,

(52:34):
an an F word, right andlike, yeah, I know it's
kind of immature, but it's morelike shit, you know, ww's like
going there now. So but hesaid bitch ass, which is so much
better than bitch. Yeah, I'mto make you my bit It's like the
girls will say it in their promosto like get like a pop. It's
like, ah, cringe e butbitch ass sounds cool? Yeah, no,

(52:57):
I like it. I'm excited soso so, sir. Who do
you have for this one? Mattriddleman really yeah? Oh my? Cool?
Interested? Yeah? Oh my?Haven't been watching a product but not
all right? The six women tagmatch we've been seeing this build up.
We have Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Osca. It's unfortunate Becky got

(53:20):
injured too, because I feel butBecky was initially supposed to be in this
mix and then Alexa got inserted,so we would have had Bianca, Becky
and Osca. M I don't remember. I liked Bliss. I have a
lot of respect for her, butlike, I don't know, man,
like right now, she's not doingit for me. Her wrestling is very
basic, and I want wrestling likeI want wrestle, wrestle like wrestlers like

(53:43):
wrestlers. And you look at allthe women in this match, Bianca Belair,
Osca, Bailey, Dakota ka Eo, like they can fucking go,
right, they can all go?And then you have Alexa Bliss, and
like you can't put in the roomwith anybody. You can't put her in
an iron Matt woman match, youcan't have her put in a technical match.
Like I see her do some goodwrestling in the past, but I
feel like she doesn't really do thatanymore. And maybe it goes back to

(54:05):
that w W recipe of like theyhave four signature moves and they play it
safe, and you know, Idon't know, like I just find she's
like too my little pony or twolike brats, Like she's like so delicate
and she can't get physical, youknow, Like I don't know. It's
kind of the same thing I feelabout Mandy Rose, Like Mandy Rose,
like, oh, she's an extinnow, like now she's a chance to

(54:25):
finally like prove herself as a wrestler. And I was hard on her a
little bit at first, and Istill think like she's still not like fully
into her matt like I don't know, like giving yourself into the matches,
you know, like Charlie Flair,she'll be banged up, bruise, bleed,
bleeding by the end of her matches. I feel like Manny's a bit
safe sometimes because she doesn't want toget hurt or have a bump or a
bruise. But she's still definitely beendoing good as champion over there, so

(54:50):
I'll give her credit. She's definitelycome a long way and made herself a
lot more credible. I hope shedoes good when she comes back to the
main roster because imagine after she dropsthe title, she will so. But
they've injecting so many women to themain roster now too, so it's gonna
be even more of a problem oflike who's gonna be in the spotlight and
will it be Becky, Bailey andCharlotte continuously again? Um, you know
Sasha comes back, if she thoughtthe championship picture with all these new people

(55:14):
coming in, well, how she'sgonna feel about that? Is she okay
with that? I mean it's it'sso interesting to see what happens now with
the women's um division moving forward,so it'll be exciting. Yeah, But
she does fit in okay with likeDakota, Kayannios Guy's size, so I
mean it's a balanced, yeah,size wise, I guess. Yeah,

(55:36):
I don't know, Yeah, Iguess so, but I'm going with Bailey,
Dakota, KaiOS Guy. Uh,yeah, you too. I mean,
yeah, they're the new team thenthe new kids in the block.
They got to establish themselves as asas a stable. I would love to
bring somebody else in, like afourth you know, like kind of just
fucking turns on them and joins controldamage. I don't know, I don't

(56:00):
know. I don't know. Ifyou have like a big group that's like
exploding really large, like you gottamake sure you put the right people in
it. By the way, hitRow not feeling them, Man, not
feeling hit Row. They're back.Yeah, yeah, I say, yeah.
They did this rap in Montreal andlike the crowd was like so unresponsive
to it. Like I know swartScott really helped make that group, even
though he wasn't in an initial member, but like having them, like they're

(56:22):
bringing back people now where I'm like, uh, like a bron Strowman.
I don't want it. I don'twant I don't know. I'm indifferent about
him. I mean he had reallygood moment, a good worker, Like
for the from a WWE's perspective,he's a good worker. I get it.
If he ain't running a train onthe outside, he was pretty cool.

(56:43):
Really, I don't know if hegets thrown into a title match,
or he gets both people aside.I mean, we'll see. I mean
I wonder what will happen with hiscontroy or narrative if he has to drop
that or not. Yeah, welltwo of them are out carrying Cross and
bron Strowman. All right, Baileyto go to EO Sky. We both
got the same folks there. Wegot Live Morgan versus Shana Basler. Shana

(57:05):
Basler, they're finally making her looklike a challenger again, kicking the crap
at a Live Morgan. I wouldlove to see Shana finally get back on
track, and I'd like to seeher bring her old theme music back.
That'd be pretty cool, but Idon't see that happening. But winning a
championship on the main roster, Ithink it's due. Remember when she toured
through people in elimination Chamber, everysingle one that's a record a record?
And what what? What's going on? Since it seems like something happened to

(57:30):
her. Maybe they didn't believe inher, but Trip Lights does. So
I hope to see a chain chair. I want to see a chaina win,
But I feel like ultimately this isgoing back to run a Rousey versus
Live Morgan again, and I thinkthey want to keep making Live Morgan seemed
like a credible champion and not justa paper champion. So she'll win.

(57:50):
She'll win by like some roll upand it will be that stupid like she
does that choke hole from behind andthen like gets rolled over on or something
like that, like you know,the roll up from behind like she has
happened all the time. It's ridiculous. He's Live Morgan really gonna beat round
A Rousy and Shanna by no.I think she'll be Channa Basler and then
they run AROUSI wouldn't title back.And then then then and then what happens
after that Charlie comes back there yougo, that's it. I just did

(58:12):
long term booking for you, notbooking that I want. But that's probably
what's gonna happen. All these womenare coming to the main roster. Then
Charlotte walks back in and gets goesup against Ronda Rousey. Well, hey,
listen, she is the best.I hope Shana winzo, to be
quite honest with you, So inmy heart of hearts, I want Shana
to win this. And I wouldactually prefer see Shana versus run A Rousy.
I would be too make a technicalmatch, man, But um,

(58:35):
I'm gonna go with Live Morgan Morgandisappointingly. Yeah, I'm gonna go with
Live Morgan too, just because thetime it doesn't seem right. But I
don't know, man, some titlesgotta change over in Wales maybe, and
I guess that brings us to ourmain event. A lot of people are
speculating now Roman Reigns just signed anothernew contract which further limits his his dates

(58:58):
um and and people are saying thatthey might think about taking the title off
him. But again, you neverknow, because you read these things go
into pay per views, you don'tknow what to believe, what not to
believe. They're talking about potentially likeseparating one of the titles as well too,
Austin theory, right, he couldstill be involved in somewhere or another.
And but look, man, here'sthe thing. The only way I

(59:19):
look at this is like this showis like for Drew McIntyre, Like this
is huge in the UK in acastle. Drew never got his flowers at
WrestleMania, never and that was theone thing that I was a workhorse,
you know, he reconstructed himself onthe end, seeing w went knocked on
his door asked him to come backwhen the NXT Championship came the main roster,

(59:40):
when the Rod Rumbull beat brock Lesersquash brock Les there and didn't get
that big celebration that he had.He'll always be the COVID Champion. And
actually that's actually a title that he'sthe only one that'll ever hold that,
which is pretty unique. But Ithink having that, having that big moment
in its home country, all thecrowd, with triple hs behind the wheel,

(01:00:02):
I don't know, man, Idon't know. They might do it.
And imagine, imagine Roman Reigns respectsthe hell out of Drew two right
as a worker, so you knowhe's there every day, he's putting in
the miles. Maybe they drop onetitle off him. I don't know how
they would do that. Um maybea singles match for the undisputed single match
for the Undisputed spewed WW Universal Championships. That's both titles, right, yeah,

(01:00:24):
yeah, yeah, So I don'tknow, I don't know how.
I don't know. I guess hewould get the title off of him,
but UM, I don't see ithappening just because Drew Romans had Drew's number.
He always like chokes him out andthe matches are always great, and
this match will be good. It'sgonna be too Gladiators two Behemi's going at
it. It's gonna be uh,it's gonna be a match. Just wondering

(01:00:45):
if you Sols get involved. Um, but I don't know. I just
I cannot see Roman Reigns dropping thetitle like anytime soon, even anytime soon
maybe everything, maybe WrestleMania or maybethe next wrestle Mania. I don't know.
Man, Everything you said about DrewMcIntyre made sense until you find out
that he's facing Roman Rains and thenyou're like, well, I mean I

(01:01:07):
hear those rumors. They're busting outthe broken dreams, the old old song
that he had too, like Drews. Yeah, he had like an old
theme song that people are obsessed with. One of those first ones. It
was a banger. It was likereally really a good song, and people
are like, oh, I alwayswish you to bring that theme song back.
I always wish you'd bring that themesong. And in interviews they ask
him, what's the question draft themost, And that's usually it people really

(01:01:28):
like it, so keep an eyeout for it. They might play it.
I don't know, but he teasedit a little bit, and he's
been teasing it once in a whilethat he wants to bust it out.
And I can't think of a betteropportunity than this. Drew mctyre over Roman
Reigns, Like, dude, thatwould be like feather in your cap your
career at that point, Drew McIntyrewins into UK and a Castle gets Roman
Reigns, who had the title forover you know, two years or whatever

(01:01:50):
it is now, and they trustyou to be the one to take the
belt off of him, like whateverfrom there, like you're done, Like
he doesn't matter if you're putting overtalent. Yeah, you're like such an
accolade at that point. So yeah, I know, I just can't see
it, But Drew's gotta get completelyscrewed. Maybe Roman Range leaves later and
then Drew comes and then his Drewversus braun Stroman on Monday Night Raw,

(01:02:13):
which we'll hope we don't want,but that might be what happens. Do
you think Roman Range drops his headoff? If he does, I mean,
like Roman can take time off,and then you could set up Drew
versus braun Stroman two big guys.It's almost great that Roman has both.
And he's never there. I know, people piss people off. He's there
enough, but he's there enough.It's not like he's not there like every
week like he's he misses. Hemisses every other every other week, every

(01:02:37):
third week, which isn't too badand it'll probably get more over time,
maybe, I don't know. Andhe got to the point where he's able
to do this pretty early in hiscareer, To be quite honest with you,
I felt like, honestly, likewe had the shield, which took
was a little bit a chunk oftime. Then all a sudden he's single,
single wrestler. Oh my god.He gets booed for a long time,
gets forced on our throat, hehas the chemia, comes back,

(01:02:59):
and he's this next level god.But like I know, it's actually been
on paper a long time. Isrun like maybe ten years, but I'm
like, it seems like it's beenlike five. I know, yeah,
you know, and I feel likeJohn Cena was around for like thirty years.
I know, yeah, I don'tknow. I just I can't see
no titles changing hands. I justdon't know how to predict it. I

(01:03:22):
gotta go with Roman just because it'sRoman. I'm gonna be double that I
think. No, I think Roman'sgonna win. I can't go with my
heart, Like, who do Ithink is gonna win? Because we're not
getting anything out of this? No? Nothing, No, um, let's
go with your heart. I thinkI just think Roman Rains is gonna win
this. Yeah, I mean,I have to be realistic here. It
sucks and like poor Drew at theend of the day, but like Drew's

(01:03:45):
not Roman Rains, you know.And well, hey man, they're they're
going to whales in the couch.Who doesn't have a head of hair like
Roman Rains either, I guess youknow, so no, yeah he doesn't.
Well there you have it. Aw all out didn't get around of
the predictions. But we are allwinners because it's wrestling weekend. Yeah,

(01:04:06):
wrestling weekend. So enjoy Castle inthe Sun on Saturday at one that's what
they should have called it, anda w on Sunday, and uh yeah,
maybe we'll be back next week.Yeah, we'll see where we're going.

Leaves fall up the tree. NextI saw it next to my house.
I'm like, yep, make sureit doesn't go in your neighbors on.

(01:04:30):
