Speaker 3 (00:08):
Previously on the Wrestling Is Real Podcast. When I look
right there at the end of the match, I look
at where Cethron's comes up. I don't see him crimsy
and pain necessarily, but he gets.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Up allan up hoop the way back up into the car.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
And I don't think of the new gym. I don't
think it was legit at all.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Whoa Ed isn't the name.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
You more request and believe it or not, whether you
like it or not, like you learned to love it
because you have to listen to wrestling, and really it
is the best day going to day.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
WHOA a worldwide leader of podcasting excellence, The King of
Podcasts Radio Network probably presents the Wrestling Is Real Podcast
because wrestling Dave Zucks.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I made that prediction, and I made that point on
episode nine and forty one, which was the all in
recap a couple of months ago. And here we are
once again, Rescues Are Podcast. We're here to go and
recap Night one of SummerSlam going on in the Middlelands
Medline Stadium Tonight East Brother for New Jersey. All right,

(01:17):
so a couple of things to get into right off
the bat. Yes, I had called it well before. It
didn't look like when I saw before Seth Wrongs getting
injured against Gender Mahall not the same. I mean, very
familiar look to it because of the buckle, but no
this time around. And what's worth Seth Wrongs did a

(01:41):
good job is trying to sell it. And of course
everybody going out of the going to be unreal, which
we talked about on last Wednesday show. Everybody's getting all
up and at it about k Fabe being dead. But
then yeah, Seth Wrongs played up the k Fabe on
this throughout. Thatt with his daughter and crutches, same thing

(02:01):
coming out to the ring tonight. But why else would
he come out the ring with the money to make
briefcase us. They wanted to create the impression that the
crushes were going to drop to the floor and he
goes and listen, regardless of he faked the injury or not,
it's fine because the way it was done was very
well done. Look he's sitting out there and people are

(02:22):
enjoying it. And once again Heist of the Century Part two,
where a good storyline's being told. You know, it's one
thing where it's kind of hard to get the main
event storylines to be told, but we got one told
because ever since he and Punk returned to the company,
they have been deeth Rowns and seeing punking at each

(02:44):
other's throuws. So now we're going to start that feud
now that Seth Rowngs is in with his group. By
the way, bron Breaker looked like he might have gotten
his knee injured because he did not come out with
Bronson Reid at the end of the night. Bron Breaker
and Bronson Reid taking themselves and their match earlier in

(03:05):
the night taking a loss, Roman Reigns and jus So
with bron Breaker not begin the match, I don't know
what they're gonna be really good to do that part.
But no matter what, you now have Seth Brown as
being world haveweight champion and no bron Breaker. But that
group now has Bronson Reid is like the heavy the paulheymen,

(03:26):
all we got left with.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Him Now.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
The cash in after we see the crutches dropped to
the floor. The visual looks great, and my question was
he's gonna cash in once we see Paul out there
with a briefcase. It's just how are they going to
go and do that? But they you know, it was
already a bad taste in the mouth for me. The
fact that Gunther takes another loss at a big pay

(03:50):
per view, losing a title. It happens too much, too
straight WrestleManias. And now we get Summer same he loses
a belt again. It doesn't look good for him. I mean,
I know there's not much else to do for him
at this point because Gunther has run through the roster
and you know, no matter if he comes off looking
like a champion, he wrestles like a champion. His promos

(04:12):
are fine, but they're not good at booking opponents for him.
Those companies just not good at booking opponents for him.
And then when they end up doing things to set
up for the seam Punk Gunther match. I mentioned it
on Wednesday night, so we get see him Punk going
two sides. Okay, he's not sure he can go ahead

(04:33):
and beat Gunther, and you know he's not sure if
he's the same seeing Punk like you was before, but
he's gonna try to do his best. And then he
comes off all egotistical and smug when he cuts a
promo on Gunther before the match and Michael cole in
commentary steam punkins is the prime at forty seven years old. Okay,

(04:55):
So Dean Punk gets to win in a long match
ending by Gunther getting the Crimson mask as he I
don't know if he got cut hard weight or not,
but I guess. And then we get to Damp Punk
with several go to sleeves to win. But of course
this is not one of those typical one of the

(05:17):
big castions where I expected, you know, we all expect
there's like somebody injured and down on the floor and
that's gonna be it. But the way Seth Rongs did
it was pretty well done. This is before so he's
getting the cash in now, but he had already hit
Cmpunk with the briefcase several times, conked him out, read

(05:40):
along useless, and all he had to do was a
herb stomp to finish. There.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
It is heavy, white, shap it.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Heavyway. Well there you go, so that's fine. Listen, that
whole setup for Seth Wrongs to win tonight was well done.
And listen to have a feud with Seth Wrongs and
see him punk. These two will be able to go

(06:23):
and carry problems with each other, and you let these
guys go. Now, this is a feud. If you wanted
to do leg where Seeing Punk went, would Drew mcatire
and let these guys get the full feud out. Then
let's go for that and don't another other correlation to
somebody somebody. Other people on Twitter also pointed out is

(06:44):
that Seeing Punk held the boat for five minutes just
as long as Drew Mgutarre did when he won it,
only for Seeing Punk to screw him over. And the
same thing goes with Seth Wrongs right here, a five
minute title ragn only for Seth Wrongs to take it back.
So that storyline makes all the sense the world. That's
a good thing. So I'm glad we have that storyline
now in two capable hands, and the capable hands of

(07:09):
two superstars that will pretty easily take care of the
main event picture on that side, So I'm all in
for that. That's good. That's very good. On the other side,
we have John Cena, which we'll talk about in a moment,
But to the rest of the night, there wasn't much
else to really report on. I mean, Jamey Zaying looks

(07:33):
like he took Carrying Across out and Cross is done
after this another loss after a Saturday x men event
or what was it at a Crown Jewel excuse me, you
know whatever, it's notin of Champions Okay, same thing in
Saudi Arabia. So Timmy Z gets to win there, and
then they get this match here and Pry and Cross

(07:54):
now had admit that he was wrong about Sam Muizin,
so we got the your wrong match.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
And I said.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
The carry Across would imagine he's gonna be off TV?
Where does he go? Who does he go to? As
I said before, I only hope the Killer Cross comes
in to some be something else and more. I want
the Killer Cross character back, and I want him somewhere else,
you know, but I want that character back. Maybe we
won't get him back in AW, or we won't get

(08:24):
him in TNA, but I'll tell you the first place.
If he's going to go anywhere or bar if you
still got connection to him, bring him back to MLW,
I mean mean it. Or if you can get if
you can get Carrying Across, bring back Killer Across the
MLW and do something with him, especially with all the
things are doing right now, where they got Hammerstone back

(08:45):
in there and Donovan dye Jack. You know, they got
some they got some players over there. It's good stuff.
I'd like to see some more going on over there
in that roster because they got good stuff over there.
Really do among the stars they bring in from Japan
or they bring in from Mexico. I like the boke
of the roster. I really do. Short matched with Tivity

(09:08):
Stratton to beat Jake Cargo for the women's title, and
Jay Cargo has not been given any favors, and I
said this to bring her into the tag team picture
and to keep her in that spot, and then to
have her in a feature few with Naomi Phil You're
not getting Jay Cargill out there to go and work

(09:28):
long matches. Tifty Stratton is a champion. He already struggled
with Charloie Flair wrestle me. I wasn't surprised to see
them struggle again tonight. Yeah, I didn't look good. The
ending was a bit wiry, but Tiffany Stratton gets the
win and Jay Cargill looks bad as a result of this.
That's unfortunate. They're just not doing a lot of good

(09:50):
off of that blueprint. Matt Morgan. I haven't heard from
him in a while, but he made some pretty standard
comments out there on both of the same Muzaine p
Lacrosse and Keny Stratton Jay Cargill matches. He said this quote.
I say this as a huge Sammi fan. I don't
understand how somebody you continused to beat the self made
man kill a cross. Can hear when the most beloved

(10:12):
baby face in the company pinned him? The fans were
not feeling it. No disrespect to Sammy. Second, don't put
Jake Cargill in matches if you're gonna pin her and
not protect her. I think he has the most average
problems of any of the women in that division. Respectfully,
she says she's done nothing to grow the title. I
think Jade could. And this finished with a mistake. You
don't beat somebody that looked that looks like Jake carrkill.

(10:34):
If you're not ready to go through a full throttle
with her, then don't book her in matches. It's that's
the outcome. Get a great match the night and I
got a great showing, but this did not help with
these visual losses. Right, she should not be eating pins.
There is no reason why Jay Cargill should be taking
pins here without a title, by the way, and I
was afraid that this company was going to do that

(10:55):
to her. In the singles run, she was protected. She
might have been green and ad, but they did a
great job of protecting her all the way through and
they're not doing it here. So somebody needs to be
paying attention to fact that Jake Cargo's that's not being
un used, right, not being used. She's got the look,
she got the entrance, she's got it, and she don't

(11:17):
even get the going cut promos like she should. Let's
just make that clear too. The fire this woman has
not letting her habit. You know what it is. Naomi's
getting that kind of bush. Naomi is the one getting
that kind of attitude. She's the one that's getting what
Jake cargoesh are beginning. And that's no knock to Naomi.

(11:38):
I mean, she earned her way back into the company,
is Trinity. He earned her way back with that year
long knockouts title run, no question, but for her to
come back in here prove herself tip on the shoulder. Yeah,
she deserves what she's getting right here. She's got a
good gimmick going good on her. She'll have a great
match tomorrow night with Del Skyrie Ripley, no doubt about it.

(12:00):
I will say that for clear now. But Tivioty, Stratton
bat Morgan's right, I don't think she's done much to
move the needle. I haven't impressed so much by the
matches she's had to kind of turn things around over
Tristratus or Tyler Flair. No, I don't feel it. I
don't feel it. It's just not there for me. So unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Now.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Also, SummerSlam tonight, they were trying to work their way
up to try to get the fifty thousand tickets for
tonight's event. They did quote fifty three thousand, but yeah,
it was DYA fifty before yesterday, and then we looked
today and everything kind of worked itself out and okay,
they got over fifty thousand for tonight, and the current

(12:47):
setup was for fifty thousand. They have broken over fifty
thousand for tomorrow night. That was already done before. Obviously,
what were they gonna be doing tomorrow night. That's gonna
be very clear. Among the other matches, you also had
a Bracketurn and Logan Paul Randyorton and Jelly Roll. All right,
well this match, Jolly Roll, they made it a lot

(13:08):
about him and the fact that Logan Paul with the
Prime Drinks does all the stone cold you know, mash
the drinks and hits to the announced table. Jelly Roll,
who takes the shot legit? I mean, I don't know
why he's doing it for. I mean, he's not necessarily

(13:30):
gonna be I mean, he's out there, he's a celebrity
and he's showing, Okay, I can be resilient in the ring.
He's not gonna go ahead and you know, wow, like
bad Bunny with any particular wrestling moose, not necessarily not
with the limited training that he has. But you know,
if this means the marketing works out and Jollie Roll

(13:51):
gets some camera shots into this and there's a lot
of press about it, Okay, let's see what they do
with that and if it's gonna make much of a
difference or not. That's pretty much it. There was not
only the World heavyweight title changing hands twice tonight, you
did have Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss now as the
new women's tag team champions over Rock Heel and Rock

(14:12):
Sande care of that, okay, And they did try to
show a little bit of a tease that Charlotte might
turn on Alexa Bliss eventually. But I think people are
really happy to go and see these two with the belts. Fine,
it's kind of like where Jade car Gill and Neo
me and it's you mean b uncle Butthera were last year,
where you just had really two big stars holding those

(14:33):
belts just to kind of do something with and it
gives something to do. So that's fine, whatever opponents you
want in that mix, and that that works for me.
But that's all that happened for tonight. At SummerSlam Night one,
I will be in the movie theater at my Regal,
and it looks like you're gonna have a pretty good
house for tomorrow night. I'll be there to go and

(14:54):
watch it there. That'll be cool. But now looking into
tomorrow night, let's just make sure we go ahead and
run through what we already have coming up as the
plan of the card coming up for tomorrow night, which
will be the better night. Still, even though they did
some very memorable things tonight, specifically with that World Heavyweight title,

(15:17):
you have Naomi Rerip, the EO Sky Trible Threat match
of the Women's World Title Deckie Lynch and their Vikiria
no DQ no count out Last Chance match for the
Women's ICY title. Stilisako Jacoba Tuo steal h for the
US title. I'm going with Sterio on AJ stops with
the IC title. Why at six will defend the women

(15:39):
the the Tag Team Championhips Championship six and A six
pack Tables, Letters and Chairs match TLC against Androtti, Ray Phoenix, DIY,
Praxium Motor Machine machine Guns and street profit of that.
I imagine that TLC match starts off the night Tomorrow night.
If they're gonna do anything with the night, that's where
I think they would go. Then you finish off with

(16:00):
Johnson to Cody Rhoads and probably put that Woman's world
title match you lead up to that prior to. But
they could also start with the ones world title to
start off the night like they started off Preslvania nine one.
They could just go that or night too. I guess
was right, So they might just go that route again,
and that's okay. If they do that route, I could
see them doing it a little more extreme into these

(16:25):
matches for Tomorrow night. Let's go and see what they're
gonna do with that. One thing I want to bring
up here before is what John Cena did with is
promo leading up to SummerSlam last night on spack Down.
I was actually kind of surprised by that. Let's get
to that real quick. I was actually kind of surprised

(16:48):
by the promo that was being done. But here we go,
John Cena automatically just turned himself face. Now people want
to go and ask do people believe that this is
a rust? I don't think so, but I must say,

(17:10):
we need to go and play back the masterclass that
is John Cena. That really took a bad storyline and
a bad heel turn at that, and I believe he
just turned it back around. And I do believe that
Cody Rhodes turns heel tomorrow would be good for me.
It would work out to me the way I would

(17:31):
think how it looks. That's fine. I think that works out.
But this promo tonight or last night with John Cena
needs to be mentioned because this was is this John
Cena be coming back to himself and was the only
thing you could possibly do is make a correction on
this really rough, real, really roughly managed and put together,

(17:57):
which was focused on unreal when you see what they
did with that booking committee, with that idea, for Johnson
to go ahead and just rerecon the whole thing and
just turn it back to himself was the best thing
he could possibly do.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Cody Rhodes, I told you that I was exhausted and
then a match at SummerSlam would be too difficult for me.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
You didn't listen.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
You assaulted me, you forged my signature, and you forced
me into one of the most dangerous matches in WWE
on one of its grandest stages, for its biggest championship.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
I only got one thing left to say to you.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
And here's the change of the heel turned face, just
by saying two.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Words, thank you, because that was just the boot and
the ass that I needed.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
For twenty five years, day in and day out, I
have forged a reputation off of hard work, honesty and respect.
And I now realized that five months ago I flushed
it all down the toilet, chasing false glory when I

(19:36):
bought into somebody's crazy idea to make shocking TV, and
we did.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
We shocked the world. We made great TV.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
But then their dust settles, and then everybody goes back
to their normal lives and the people that were supposed
to be on my team they left, and they left
me alone faking Travis Scott trying to pretend to be
something I'm not.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
That's for the bad storyline that he had to go
and try to make the most out of.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
I want to leave here with this after my last match.
I want to take this home with me. But it's
not because I want to ruin wrestling. Jeez, you guys

(20:34):
know I don't want to ruin wrestling. I love wrestling.
I want to take this home with me, so after
I'm gone, you guys don't forget about me.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
People want to cheer him.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
They want to cheer him.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
I was so hung up on how you see me tomorrow,
but I forgot to realize how stupid I am acting today,
and y'all try to tell me over and over again.
You try to tell me, and I didn't listen. Cody,
you try to tell me and I didn't listen. But

(21:21):
you did what a good friend should do. You forced
me to face it. He forced me into a fight,
not a match, a fight, something that's gonna be brutal,
something that is gonna force me to dig down and

(21:43):
be who I really am, something that if I don't
show up for war, I.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Shouldn't show up at all.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
I've beteen for you.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Mark your calendar.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
Cody August first, twenty twenty five, Newark, New Jersey, The
day that Jaw say.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
W Ring.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
This is not a throwaway to a heel turn that
he's just gonna turn back around. He's gonna go turn back.
The only thing that makes sense if he was gonna
go ahead and put this as a ruse, is that
the Rock comes back and actually executes the Haill turned
storyline where he started with the whole selling of the soul,
and the Rock returns at SummerSlam to do just that

(22:32):
with no Travis Scott. Because now there's the rule that
Travis Scott and be your person of Magrata. They're not.
They're at os with each other now. So I guess
Travis Scott is no longer going to be anywhere involved
near a w ring anytime soon. So my guess is
John Cena makes the switch here just in time for SummerSlam,
one half of the turn complete. Now Tody has to change,

(22:58):
and I think that's what we get and it's fine
to do it. And if you're gonna make this yield turn,
make it happen at Summerson, make you a bet it
at a big pay per view, So do it. So
make the switch now that works for me and Cody,
even with the Manners, was just making me feel like, yeah,
this is fine, let's go for it. Oh, we'll see

(23:18):
what they do tomorrow. We're gonna leave the short so
we're gonna come back and go and do a full
comprehensive tomorrow and see what's the night too of Summer
Sam brings to us and see how it all turns up. Anyway,
we'll leave it all over there. Thank you for tuning in,
finding out the show, and as you always do, King
of Podcasts out coming where you find all the content.
And we'll come back to this again tomorrow and enjoy

(23:40):
Night two of Summer Sam with Rumors come back with
another rest oft for podcast, because wrestling needs us.
