Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wrestling Soup is intended.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
For adult Hey, what's going on, Joseph?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh my good, it's just it's just me, mean a guy.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I was kind of hoping for a DQ. I wanted
to see what the fuck they would do if there
was a DQ. I guess the title stays vacant.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Right, Yeah, I mean, dude, this was this night should
have been called a sad attempted course correction for two
of these titles.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Man called it pretty.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Bad SmackDown the cutting room floor, That's what it should
have been. Yes, the Snyder cuts of SmackDown.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
God, I mean, dude, should we? Is there an intro?
We even warranted to this? Hi, guys, welcome to Wrestling Soup.
This was Saturday night, Maine event and it was mercifully short.
I feel like about it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It was shorter than raw, It was shorter than wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, boy oh boy.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Not so many commercials either. I was watching on the
YouTube stream and yeah, other than some like splash screens,
there was no commercials. And I don't know if that's
because I'm one of those YouTube premium members, but that
was nice to watch it. Yeah, and you watched it
on the cock, didn't you I did.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I watched it on the big old Peacock. That's what
That's what I guess is still an option for now.
I mean, dude, I kind of liked the guessing game
at this point where you were like, hey man, it's
on YouTube, and I went, oh word, I had no idea.
I'm like, I just put it on Peacock and I
didn't even know it was on Peacock. I thought it
might also been on regular television, but I was like,
(01:43):
I don't need to go on regular television because I
have Peacock, but I also have YouTube. The I like
the mystery of when the show is going to come
on and where.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, that was the funny thing too. I saw some
people in the chat even saying that too, that they
all thought it started it eight o'clock, and I'm like,
don't feel bad. Draft Kings, the official sponsor of WWE,
told everybody it started at eight o'clock tonight too, So.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, you know, at this point, Draft Kings is I
don't know, sponsoring everything they're sponsoring, like, yeah, your kid's
little league team probably, you know, listen, listen, little Billy,
I need you to strike out three times tonight. Yeah,
if you don't something bad's going to happen to your PlayStation?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, do I sound okay? Yeah, because I got theself
my I'm in Portugal right now, so I wasn't. I
didn't turn it off yet.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, all right, Well that's fine. I mean, I guess
I'm glad that you're broadcasting from a country that loves
wrestling so much too. They must have just not given
WWE six bajillion dollars yet. That's got to be the
problem why they haven't had a show in Portugal, at
least to my knowledge.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Right, I heard they were gonna get it after New
Orleans gets WrestleMania, so it's right around the corner, right.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh my god, WWE presents Sweetbread in the city. Yeah,
that's all I know. That's all I kind of know.
I know Portuguese, the sweetbread's good. I don't know much else.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was gonna say, I'm gonna go out on a
live and say, after WrestleMania this year coming up, they're
gonna announce that Russellmania will be taking place again in
Las Vegas for next next year. Right, that's probably the Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, which, by the way, like I said, I'm
fine with the WrestleMania residency in Vegas. I think it
makes sense to some extent, makes more sense than them
trying to like force feed itto people in Minnesota or something.
But I don't know. That's probably what it will be
going forward. Now, it's like Las Vegas, Saudi Arabia, Las Vegas,
(04:04):
whatever country pays us too much money to go one
or the other. That's probably how this is going to
become a thing. Now. Well, Saturday Nights by the way,
sorry if you hear a loud sump. Now, my cat's
new favorite thing is to jump from the windowsill on
to my fucking computer. It's interesting, oh fun. Only when
(04:26):
I'm recording, though, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Very that's why.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh well, he's a big goofball.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So Saturday Nights made events started at seven o'clock. Where
were they against Salt Lake City or something like.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That, or yeah, you know somewhere, but by the way,
somewhere that we know that has been very impactful in
Punk's career. You know, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, we all know that Chicago is aw town.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So that's that's true. I mean, there's nowhere, there's nowhere
else that a tattooed progressive guy is going to resonate
upon croc tattooed Progressive guys can resonate more than Salt
Lake City, Utah. Yes, you know that's got to be
where his fit. That's where the core audience is for SAMPO.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Do you even know anybody in Utah that's close to
Salt Lake?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
No? I don't know any Mormons yet.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I only know chocolate or chunkers. He's out in Utah?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Is he more? Is he Mormon though? Or Mormon?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
He's Hawaiian?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He's he's Hawaiian. But there's Mormon Hawaiians, right, is there?
I assume there has to be.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I mean, I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's a blue diamond. My friend like.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Playing one of those little guitars on the top of
little ukuleles on top of their tomtoms, and they're talking
about Joseph Smith like that that's possible. Yeah, well, I mean,
this man, this show was not horrible, but not good.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Started it off with Rhodes versus Drew McIntire match, which
immediately felt like it was way too long. I don't know,
it was the first match of the card, and I
was already yawning, and I'm like, ah, this is not
good ever.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Rough. Yeah it was eight six o'clock for you too,
by the way.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh yeah, no, six thirty. I was already like, oh
my god, I'm tired, and what the hell, I don't know,
it's a Saturday, I should be up. It was. This
match was a little rough, a little rough around the edges,
not that there was anything inherently bad about it. It
was just it felt very formulaic, like everything was through
the paces, through the motions. There was really nothing behind
(06:38):
this and for you know, the champion to kind of
go out there for a lackluster match, and I think
part of it is too. I don't think anybody expected
Drew to win now.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So no, no, no, of course, if you if you
go into any Drew McIntire match that has any meaning
or value and think he's going to win, the joke
is truly on you at this point. Yeah, it's not.
It's not gonna happen. It was Dan calling him DM
night at this point, like he's not winning shit, man,
(07:09):
he's a jobber to the stars. And it's it's a
shame because I spent years tooling on him, even going
back to the times where he didn't have the beard
and he was skinnier and tall, and you know, people
thought that, well, he's tall and does a flip to
the outside, so that makes him a good wrestler. And
I was like, this guy sucks. This guy fucking stinks.
(07:30):
And then you know, slowly but surely, he got better
and now we can actually talk and he has good
matches and he's believable, which is all leading us to
the point now where he will never win anything ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever ever again apparently. So what a fucking waste, A
completely fucking waste.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
They gave him the belting COVID guys, I mean, what
else does he need?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So I got to wind a belt in front of
fucking nobody. That was That was a nice running joke
during CO There wasn't a lot of things to laugh at,
but it was certainly fun to laugh at Drew. The
whole story coming to head with him winning in front
of absolutely fucking nobody in a burnt out kmart.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I mean, that's the one thing that we got to
talk about though, that happened in this match was we
had the first of three kning injuries over the night.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Thank you. Yes, I was in a row in a row, yeah,
I mean, this is really these agents. I mean I
I Am not going to sit here and at this
point in my life be like, well, I mean let
me add him. I'd fix it. No, that's not my
thought process at all. But the fact that there's four
(08:44):
matches on a show? Am I am I wrong? Here?
Did I miss one? Did I zone out? Four matches?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah? Four matches on a show and the agents can't
get together and figure out how to not do the
same shit in four matches, which is four four of them.
I mean, come on, dude, Like, you know, it's really
easy to shit on the aw Supercards where they have
fifteen matches in a row and it's like, oh, they
(09:11):
all do the same shit. It's like, well, I mean,
there's only so many times you can do a fucking
magic trick. You know that's gonna eventually somebody's gonna still
be pulling a fucking handkerchief out of their mouths over
and over again or something. But four matches, I'd like
three of them in a row.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I'd like to think that there's four different agents, but
one of them's the nerd and three of them stayed home, right,
Like is that how it works? One's doing everybody's homework.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, no, honest to God, no, no, Mitch. What I
think at this point is and this is where it's
almost a problem where if you only have four matches
on the show, whoever is like your lead agent should
handle those four matches and everyone else can stay home
for that show, right, because then you're gonna actually get continuity,
like I said, if you've got seven eight matches on card,
(10:00):
which WW rarely does at this point. Anyways, it's like,
take whoever the fuck is actually efficient and like can
get this done and hammered this out and look at
him and be like, yeah, no, I just had this
conversation with somebody, so I know exactly what's happening in
this match, So don't do this in the next one
five minutes later. I don't get it. I do not
(10:24):
understand how that just I mean even Cody, okay, because
the first three matches, of all the people that are
in them, I take Cody and Drew to be the
ones that would be most present of it. I'm giving
Drew that level of whatever because technically he's him and
(10:44):
Cody of the Vets. I believe in the situation in
those three matches, believe it or not, he's more experienced
than Tiffany Stratton. No, but I know, I know I
expect more of Cody Roast and Jade Cargle. But there
is this point where I looked at I go they
don't even walk around and say, hey, what are you
guys doing in your matches? What are you doing in
(11:06):
your Are you guys doing a fucking knee spot? Are
you guys doing a thing where you pretend you hurt
your knee and then never fucking go back to it again?
And then it's like, how how do you let that fly?
How does nobody even look at it? And by the way,
with Tiffany, the whole story was her knees fucked, So
why are you doing shit like you hurt your knees
and matches unless you really did?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well that was the whole thing too, is he was
supposedly doing it because he watched that spot maybe, so who.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Knows, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I mean that's so you know, so say it was
your fucking shoulder and anything pick another body part.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I don't know. I mean, I know this kind.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Of disappointment is that we know that Cody and McIntyre
of are far, far more capable of having a better
match than we got. This was this was paint by numbers.
This was very rudimentary in a lot of ways, Like
this is not a title match between two guys that,
as you pointed out, are the veterans of the whole show.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
So right now, I mean, I will say this. There
were a handful of spots in this where I was
somewhat relieved. I'm like, Okay, Drew's trying to lure him
out of the ring at one point, I'm like, yeah,
because he gets to count out. He's a heel. He
didn't give a shit how he wins the title. He
just wins, right. Little stuff like that I did like,
and I picked up on that. But we're also once
(12:32):
again in a place where it's you know, this is
the first match, and nobody on earth believes that Cody
Rose is losing, right, so you're not helping yourself. And
it's supposed to be the World's Heavyweight title, of the
real WWE title, or whatever the fuck we want to
call it this week, and it falls flat. Yep, it
just falls flat, and it is unfortunate. I think that
(12:54):
Cody needs a refresher. Bad Drew as much as I
like him. I'm like, I don't know what you do.
I don't know what you do with them? And I saw,
you know, people were posting shit up. You know, true
True should go and wrestle all the people at AW
because they actually like him and respect her whatever. Michael
Drew is also like a forty something year old man, right.
I know he's just trying to make his money and
(13:17):
probably get the fuck out of there the next two
to three to five years. But I don't know what
you do. You just keep beating this fucking guy like
a rug.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Do you think you do something crazy with him, like
send him down to NXT kind of like they did
with other guys too, to give him a little bit
of a refresher.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Because I think I really think they should start trading
people out with TNA mish if anything. Yeah, they got tnah, yeah,
why are we not? Like Okay, I know they ran
a shoe.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I think I think the notion behind that sending people
the TNA is still seen as a demotion, don't you think?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
What? Well, yeah, but I yeah it is. Boohoo. What
do you want? Like would you rather get fired? Like
I kind of see it like that, Like it's just
how about this glass half empty? It's a demotion glass
half full. We're giving you something to do to help
out these other people and help out these companies, which
(14:16):
when you're a middle aged person still wrestling, that's what
your job kind of should be, right I I.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Just wish it wasn't like the only options for Drew
are find a better feud, or get demoted or get fired.
Though you know, like it's just it feels more like
this isn't Drew's fault. This is creative's fault for not
putting him in better situations. This is creative's fault for
the only thing that they can figure out for Drew
is to have him lose for the next two years.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Like, well, the chat GBT is is chat GBT in
right now? You can tell? I mean, how about just
this right, I have absolutely no idea how you have
see him punk win the championship in your main event
and your opener you have Cody Rhoades fucking lose or
(15:08):
excuse me of Cody Rose beat Drew McIntyre and Drew
McIntyre shit history being positioned. Yes, he should be positioned
as either in the vicinity of the title like however,
and over Punk, like I didn't fucking forget about you,
or he should be his first opponent.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
No, totally agree. He should have been there fucking watching
the whole time, Like when see him Punk won, you
should have saw him up the ramp, just Drew fucking
doing a golf clap, like a completely insincere fuck you
golf clap, you.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Know, yeah, and Drew, imagine if you just didn't if
he didn't get fucking beat by Cody. And I know
people like, well they made that a little ambiguous or
whatever because of spots and ref bumps or whatever. Whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It still sucked referee with the whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It wasn't good either way, it wasn't good. But there's
should have been no Drew on this show, especially in
a match where he loses, and it should have been
put into a position where you know, Drew once again,
how about you have Drew come out after Punk wins
on fucking Monday or Friday.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They can still do you still have money? But I mean, honestly,
if it wasn't Drew, why not in l A Knight.
Elle Knight's right. I know there's a lot you could
do with this, but it just feels so aimless. Because
what you're saying, I really don't think it would ever happen, right,
like the glass happens, Well, it is like, holy shit,
Joe's got a great idea. Bring out Drew, bring out
(16:39):
La Knight, have them fight over who gets to fuck Punk.
I get it, that could be fun to watch. Is
that going to happen? No, not at all, None of it.
None of it.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And not only will that more than likely not happen.
We're gonna go back to Jay Usso and his gear
where he looks like he's going to fucking Planet Fitness
to work out. He's they're probably Now Jay's gonna go
real bad. Now he's gonna feel even more feelings. I
feel angry feelings now fucking go away.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
He's not sad away angry, Yeah, he's angry.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Can you picture right now that there's people backstage that
are like, Drew can't fucking do much with him. L A.
Knight can't do much with him, I guess, can't can't
figure out anything for him to do with Punk. I'd suppose,
which hopefully I'm wrong. You know, maybe Monday they'll have
Night do something. I don't know, but you look at
those two and then you go. Yeah, Jay jay Uso
(17:41):
dressed like a fucking like he looks shindy. It looks
like a shindy wrestler.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They're gonna throw us for a swerve and bring out Damien.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Priest, another charismatic powerhouse. Oh my god, good fucking Gouda.
I'm so just I am so disappointed in a lot
of the shit that happened on this show. And it
was only two hours. I'll get be four matches, so that.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It was the least fast. It was very fast. And
the next match that we had up on the card
was the Women's Championship match between Tiffany and Jade Curl. Oh,
I mean besides Jade almost killing Tiffany on a couple
of occasions, especially outside the ring, with that that short
knee fall. Yeah yeah, another injury, another knee injury, a
spot which was obviously focused on Tiffany at least there
was a storyline behind that a little bit. But yeah,
(18:34):
this was not a good match, and thankfully even faster
than the first one.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Jade is not ready for any of this at all.
And I get you looks great, and I guess that's
the starting point in the finishing point here, but can't
really talk, can't really work, desperately needed somebody. She needs
somebody with her to play off of, whether it be
(19:01):
another rest of Naomi.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Naomi was the only one that really got her to shine,
not even Bianca. I think Naomi was the only one
that got something really interesting out of Jade Kerkle.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Of course, because Naomi's good, Naomi's talented, and she was
able to try to. I think she made Jade a
little bit more comfortable. But at the same time, I
mean she is she is the shits. I mean truly,
this was like, this.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Is a lateral move at best. Don't you think, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
That's poop defeated shit at a match, for you know,
that's what we had in this situation. Tiffany was at
this point. I said it six months ago. I don't
want to hear from anybody that this is like some
sort of Johnny Come Lately bullshit from me or from you.
Six months ago, I said she should have gone back
(19:52):
to NXT and they should have taken the belt off
for ye like asap, fucking asap, fucking Rocky asap, berd
that shit off of him.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
They pushed us all into a fucking corner there was
no other choice but to eventually give it to Jade.
And here we are. Here we are. If Naomi didn't
get hurt, if Bianco was still around this, we wouldn't
even have this conversation. But the way all the dominoes fell, oh,
it's like, well, I guess it's time, Jade.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You know, are you ready to hear something that I would?
You would never have if there was like a what's
that thing that people bet on? Not DraftKings? It's like
an app where people can illegally gamble but not really
gamble on random shit. What's it called? That's like ki No, no, no,
(20:45):
that's sports. It's like people to pick whatever random, right,
somebody's got to know what it is. They run they
run ads for it NonStop on YouTube, and it's like
the worst AI fucking slop not Chumpa Casino, although Chumpa
Casino is AI slop shit, I don't know. South Park
did an episode about it. Somebody do a little look
up on it. But anyways, nobody would have ever have
(21:08):
picked me saying this, But I would have given the
fucking belt to Naya Jacks before I would have given
it to her.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Jesus, honestly, yeah. Wow, Yeah, Keana James. I think Keana
James could have had a nice run with the belt.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Who the hell's Kiana?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm not kidding. Who's Kian's She was down an NXC
and she came up to XC. She's on the SmackDown roster. Actually,
you know who they should have given it to. If
you're gonna go with a real wild card, given it
to Machine, Me.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And Jim who oh oh okay, I me a m
By the way.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I will say Julia, I mean, I guess you could,
but then you have to rely on WWE filling in
the gaps for Julia.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
The way he said that, for a second, I thought
you said Machine, I was like Bert Kreischer, give it
to Bert Kreischer. I won the women's title. Fucking he'd
be a great obnoxious heel manager, wouldn't he. Oh yeah,
bloated with no shirt and the fucking beard and the
(22:14):
Russian acts a hard time.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Maybe mak Him Russov's manager if they can't get Lama back.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Wow, what a fair trade, Hi, you used to have,
like maybe one of the sexiest Eastern European women we
could find. We're going to exchange that for a bloated,
pre dementia alcoholic comedian who is circling the drained career
(22:43):
wise and popularity.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Doesn't have great ideas.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Come on now, yeah, I know he's like, let me
put this in the Gemini real quick. I don't know
what it is. Yeah, no, dude, Jade is bad. Like
I said, and I will repeat, Jade is bad enough
that I would have given the title to Nya Jacks
before her, because at least if I have big tubby
(23:07):
Naya Jacks with the title walking around the Christmas tree,
at least if I give it to her, she's going
to get the right type of heat, whereas Jade like healed,
Jade now rough rough and honestly I would have picked
Chelsea either too. But Chelsea's start too right.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, I don't think Chelsea. I know. I saw Dan
saying that she's down on NXT. I thought she was
laid up, but who knows, could be. I know, she
just signed a new contract, so she's not going anywhere.
For all you aw fans I listen to the show, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well yeah, yeah, all thirty eight is yeah no, this
this was bad. This was genuinely like like I said,
It's like, you know, Poop has defeated shit for the title,
and now we're just moving it across, just moving it
across the board. And I don't know who she's going
to wrestle. I don't know if they think, like all
(24:04):
the people you're you're mentioning there, Mia Yam and even
Julia and all them, Is it that all those.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Even j can't they just bring back Natty for a night?
Like what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Oh, you're not wrong. Natty's putting out a book. Why not?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Might as well? I mean it, And I'm sure somebody
would say built to Naddy in twenty twenty five? Yeah,
why not?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I did watch last night, Sean. I'm sorry. I didn't
know that you wrestled last night, So I apologize, but yeah, no,
I didn't see smack Down last night.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
My bad. Give it to her on the bad. Yeah,
I don't know Chelsea. Lest did they say Chelsea wrestled
last night?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Is that she was on smack or I don't. Yeah,
she has a match with Julia next week. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I'd have given the bill to her before Jade gargle, honestly,
I would. I would only assume at this point because with.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The storyline that's the problem. I think they backed themselves
into a corner with Jade. I think they thought that
people like Naomi and Bianca Blair were going to be
around long enough to keep Jade above water, because it's
all we were hoping was that Jade improves enough to
where she's not the drizzling shit's in the Ring and
Tiffany Stratton and everybody else got hurt or they took
(25:17):
time off, et cetera, et cetera, and they focused all
of this story around Jade Cargle. And now you're at
this point where Tiffany Stratton hasn't exactly lightening up the
world either. So it's not even just me and you
that are like, ah, Tiffany Stratton's kind of fallen off.
A lot of people have kind of jumped ship with
Tiffany Stratton and they've kind of abandoned her because she
(25:39):
is really just deep involved. Yeah, she just regressed totally
from her promost to her in ring. It's really wild.
I don't think I've ever seen somebody that wasn't like
seriously injured regress is poorly. So now they're put in
a position where she's the champion of all fucking things,
and they have to give it to somebody else. And
the only person that WWE has really been focusing all
(26:02):
their chips on that's left is Jade. So it's like
this was the natural progression of things, I guess.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But they really should have put off of Great Dude,
you took the belt off of Gender Mahal and put
it on Great Golly. That's basically what. Yeah, they they
shouldn't move.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
They should have given themselves an out. They should have
given themselves a way to have this. The only thing
I'm hoping, Joe is that by the time we get
to next Friday, this Jade circuit thing that we've got
going on right now was a fluke that she has,
like a cane title run. You know, you get it
till the next show and then it's off and maybe
Julia does take it, maybe somebody else does take it.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now hear me out on this, because this is somebody
that also in the past I haven't spoken too highly.
This is, by the way, this is how little I
think of Jade's ability to do anything in the ring.
I would have even been like, fucking fuck it, bring
Jordan Grace up.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That would have been a big name to surprise you big.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Push, have her come out fucking oh Tiffany Stratton, which,
by the way, they should have been slowly turning Tiffany
Stratton heal. Anyways, after that WrestleMania match, you could hear
the reactions die.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I love Big Daddy STV's suggestion and the chat he says,
bring an Oscar. Look if they didn't have the stupid
brand ship at this point, and it is stupid, Yeah,
why wouldn't Oscar just truck on over to SmackDown and
just fucking throw her name and they had to take
the title.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Like I know you're not wrong, Yeah, that would if anything, Yeah,
just having Oscar show up and just be like I
want all the belts yea. All right? That stemach gemmack
mah n that I am, by the way, aw is
(27:56):
so irrelevant. I don't get to break out my Sasha
Banks voice anymore. It's it really is sad. I know
that some people despise my fucking impressions, but that's one
of that one's for me, you know what I mean,
Like I feel that in my soul when I do
my Sasha Banks impression, but it feels good.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Short it is over. We have Jade Carterle, who's a
new champion. But then we get to the highlight of
the show, the genuine highlight of the show, which was
the Icy Championship match between Dominic Penta and Russev. A
lot of fun moments in this, a lot of creativity,
because that's what you expect out of a Dominic match.
Russev was an absolute murder throughout the entire thing. Penta
(28:38):
was hanging on his own. Penta was flashy at points.
I enjoyed him doing the spots off of Russev's back.
Dominic is clever as always, laughed my ass off with
the chair spot where he gave Russev the chair and
fell down and went, ref, how can he hit me?
And the Ref's like, dude, it's fucking nody chewing Russev
smiles and like that was just classic comedy right there,
(29:03):
because that was one of those cases where Dominic's too
smart for everybody in the room. But at the same
point he worked himself. You know, it's like, oh, that's great.
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, this truly should have been the opener of the show.
It would have set a much better tone. Yeah, it
really really would have. So you would have had clear
cut heels. You would have had the baby face who's
a heel, like at least in that like I get it.
Usually I'm the person that's like, make it fucking easy,
peasy right now.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I mean, you really don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I hate it? Yeah, I don't, unless unless we're referring
to the North Shore of Boston roast beef sandwich, which
a three way is. Let's see, it's barbecue sauce, American
cheese and mayonnaise on a roastby sandwich. The best type
of three way. I mean, I mean it's I'm sure
(29:53):
Xavier Woods would.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Be big to differ forties go on.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, but no, like, yeah, I'm not usually a fan
of that style of match, but this would have been
a real good opener. It would have set a better
tone for the crowd. It would have set a better vibe,
if you will, for the whole rest of the show.
But no, this was probably the most fun thing on
the card. I mean, I don't even think probably.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It was the cereal stealing the fucking or ringing the
bell and then the hammer bits with fucking Penta missing
and smashing russev with it like it was fun. It
was really fun, and it's one of those matches that
I like, the creativity that they constantly give top and
(30:39):
that creativity elevates everybody in this match. Everybody looked good,
the crowd enjoyed the hell out of it. Why aren't
more matches this creative? Why is it that all these
other matches rely on the knee injury and this match
actually has so many onion layers to it that it's
(31:00):
fun to watch and dissect. I don't understand how we
can watch the other three matches on this card and
literally snooze through them. But one guy, you're telling me,
one guy is so creative that he's the only one
that can have these fun matches that involve the ref
involve the ring bell fucking bearer, that involve you know,
(31:21):
everybody outside the ring inside the ring, like cheap shit.
Like it's just I don't I don't understand. How is it.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Because because these people, so many of the people that
are involved in wrestling now think the only value is
the amount of shit you do with the amount you
hurt yourself, like getting people involved, Like no matter what
whatever Dom's doing with somebody in a match, like you said,
he's getting people involved. He's the raft's involved. You know,
(31:52):
like everybody there is doing something. No one gets a
fucking night off when they're working with Dom. He's actually
just getting you to do shit in this match, which,
by the way, it was interesting that in the opener
they didn't have my boy Ryan Tran. They had the
guy that looks like Chunky Mike Quackenbush to do the referee,
(32:14):
and I don't remember his name. I don't remember that
guy's name. Andrew Martin is test right, I mean I
can see the resemblance for sure. Yeah, it could be brothers.
I was fucking Danny DeVito and Narl Schwartzenegger. No, dude,
this was the best thing on the show. It's not
(32:34):
like the competition was stiff and there were four matches,
but yes, this was easily the most entertaining thing on
the show.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, no, for sure, loved it. Love this match. This
is one of the only takeaway matches of the entire thing.
And then I guess we get to the the Last
Time is Now tournament.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Oh this is very aw I gotta say.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I mean, I guess it's a way to maximize John
Cena's retirement. But what are your thoughts on me the
the because I guess it's kicking off in Boston next week,
right or a week from yeah, next Monday night or whatever, Yeah,
next Monday.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
So I'm waiting. I'm waiting to find out. I'm like,
all right, who's showing up in Boston for this thing?
That'll be that'll be very funny, that'll be very interesting.
I mean, I get what they're going for. They're charging
so much god damn money to go to these shows.
They have to be like there's a tournament and it's
all the stars, and it's people from Raw and from SmackDown,
(33:29):
and there'll be surprises. Like, like I said, I can
make fun of the tournament thing and say, what are
like a fucking aw ass cop out for them to do?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
But they did picture for what Joe. They did in
that promo. They had Solo, they had Seamus, they had Dominic,
they had Gunther and Camelo Hayes. So those are the
people in the pictures.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, I know Carmelo's getting that match because he's going
to be home. But once again, I don't watch SmackDown,
but that poor guy man, I feel like I haven't
seen him in a hundred years. I feel like he
is just done, done, so gonzo. But yeah, I get
(34:10):
the idea of it. I understand what they're going for.
Like I said to Hey, you're going to get to
see all the people from Ron SmackDown. Hey, we're gonna
give you guys a couple you know, jaw dropping moments
or whatever the fuck it's going to be. But well,
I mean we'll we'll say.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I mean, when it comes down, if there's only two
people that I want to see involved in his cup
as his last abountant, Gunther and Kevin Owens, that's it.
That's it. Kevin Owens is a hard stretch because we
don't even know how how he's recovering. We know that
his last real discussion about it was it's it's going
(34:47):
kind of response.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But I don't know, man, which he which even at
this point. If he showed up and had the last
match with Sina and beat him, I mean, then we're
having a then at least we kept no one's assuming.
I still feel like this is far fetched. I think
if that guy is hurt enough, he's hurt hurt, you know, Like,
that's a dude who's been wrestling for a quarter of
(35:09):
a century. He was always heavy, he was always doing
stupid stuff. If we don't see him again for another
year or ever again, I wouldn't be surprised, but like,
you want to talk about a guy like him being like,
check the resume. I retired John Suda, I retired Stone
Colt Stubustin, Like, wow, that's.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Who are we?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's something?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Is there still a potential? Are you still underneath the
idea that there is a potential seth rawlins swerve maybe
being saved for something like the last time.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I mean, I'm turning it off if that is, like
I'm not even being I'm not even trying to be
like funny year right, I'm not even trying to be
like a cool, cool guy. Like I'm like, if this,
if this culminates in a fucking seth rawlins surprise, I'd
be like, yeah, I'm good man, I don't need to
watch I don't need to watch this, dude. I'll fucking
(36:07):
come on the show and talk about fucking birthday cake
ice cream. At that point, I'll be like, yeah, I
want to talk about some snacks or something like anything.
I don't want to talk about seth rawlins for another
six months, right, Like I need I need a break
from seth rawlins.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Oh no, and I know, but we're in this weird
position where, yeah, we saw some more pictures and yeah,
he just did an interview where he was all, you know,
he had the cast on, and I always immediately just go, oh,
look it's the cast. But I don't know because he's
already worked everybody once. There's a lot of people that
are like, oh, yeah, I know, he's really injured, and
(36:44):
a lot of people are like, I don't know, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
So I'm just giving a short one. I want to
shout out to Nasha. Corey it's his first time listening
to the show live mentioned that early. I don't usually
do requests, but I'll tell you, I'll make that noise
just for just that's what we're missing clearly from the show.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Right, no sah, no seth voices.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Jesus ah, God, guy, you know I'm fucking deprived. I'm
depriving you.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We at least had enzoled this week, so that's okay, right.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
That's true. And androde forever forever, dude, Androatee forever. And
I'm still trying to figure it out a way how
to work my new character class conscious Russev that one.
I'm gonna work him into the mix a little bit more.
I think that's important. I really enjoyed having Russev have
the have the conversation with Cody where Cody was like afterwards, yeah,
(37:45):
I mean you got some points, you really you made
some good points. But yeah, I don't know, man, that
fucking should we just do the main e antier because
we are.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
We're at the meat events. So yeah, it was Jay
Uso for the vacated title, and Jay Uso came out
for a couple of entrances, got people on their feet,
although they were kind of booing. I was say, Salt
Lake City definitely put their emotions on the table and
(38:17):
did not give Jay the super yeating type of response
that he was expecting, although later on in the match,
they did kind of get behind him a little bit,
but they were excited for old Sam Punk there, mister Chicago.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Well, it's also because they're doing all this weird gray
area ambiguity of you know, is Jay actually a bad guy?
And by the way, Jay came out wearing black today,
so you know that he's serious and bad. Oh god, god,
it's so rotten. It is rotten. The works rotten, The
(38:51):
promos are rotten, the storyline is rotten. It fucking stinks.
And the best thing it had going for it was
keeping it as a middle to middle upper card gimmick
to where he could still come out and sell sunglasses
and do the bullshit the kids. And now you're gonna
take that away and try to convince people that he's
(39:12):
a serious.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Fucking well, it's I might have with this right. This
match did not go the way I expected it to go,
or it should have went. In what world is j
Uso competitive with? Ce them Punk? In what world?
Speaker 1 (39:28):
None?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
And in this match they were so evenly matched it
came down to the last thirty seconds see them Punk
barely barely pulled it out to beat ja Uso. I'm
not saying this should have been like brock lesnar johnsona
Summer Slam shit, but it should have been a lot
easier for See Them Punk to beat j Usso j
(39:52):
Uso kids out of multiple go to sleeps, come on. Stop.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Like I said the other day, there is no winning
in this situation right where there are people that will
routinely be like, oh you got anything Punk does you guys?
Can It's great I'm like, well, he's better than most
of the people on the show by a lot, so
that's gonna be that's gonna be a by his sees.
I guess I have, but it's also seemingly pretty obvious,
(40:21):
especially when you're putting him in the ring against fucking
shay Us all the time. But there is something to
the effect of here's a big moment for this guy
and it's happening in front of a bunch of fucking Mormons.
I just want to get out of there and make
some sort of a doctor Pepper float because they're not
allowed to drink booze. Dorks, A bunch of fucking dorks
(40:42):
believe it in some fake shit. Well he ways back
to pro wrestling, the real shit. Yeah, it's an embarrassment.
I mean, this is I feel bad for Punk in
this moment because, like I said, this should have been more.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Were the row on that the lightest, the softest sleeper
I think I've ever seen the softest, And they're like, oh,
you see him, Punk can barely handle it. I'm like,
is Jay even touching him like.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I've seen my I've seen a cat more ferociously rab
at a little toy like a little stuffy phillip of
little little nippy.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Babies, use more force a whole like it's a awful.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Dude, j jay us. At this point, he stinks he's
fucking god awful. The brother. The brother is so much
better than him, it's insane. Solo is much better personality wise,
but they've beaten him like a rug, and I don't
think his work is there. Jacob is like the biggest
star of the Samoan guys fans. Yeah, and he's like,
(41:58):
he's like, chill, you show him. I'm aware wolf, I
needed to have brush my teeth pedal and I'm all
fucked up. Brush my teeth, get yourself a water pick, motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
And just take his grill. Fix that prop real quick.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I like the idea. I like the idea of Jacobatu
going into the dentist's office. Eddie's getting this, Eddie's getting
his worksne and they just see some guy and he's
just like the dentist is like didn't you say the
N word? And a rap song with Rakishi, Like for
some reason, the dentist has some sort.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Of real sure yeah, real.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Fuck, the dentist has some real insider knowledge, or maybe
the dentist likes that, and he's like, I'll fix you
up real quick. I love that you said the N
word on that song with Rakishi. That makes me real happy.
But no, Jayce fucking sucks, dude. I mean, I'm I'm,
I'm done even tap dancing around it to something like
(43:00):
all right, I get it, and he sells the shirts.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Well where do we go from? The jay is effectively neutered.
There was no Seth return tonight. There was no Drew
pop up or La Night pop up at the entrance.
We got CM Punk coming out Monday as the new champion.
And I hate this because I love CM Punk as champion,
I really do. But it's just such a lackluster match
(43:27):
to win, do you know what I mean? It's like, yeah,
you beat the slow kid in class for for the A.
I mean I guess sure. I mean he couldn't spell no,
but that's all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
So it's like somehow your team is in the super Bowl,
but the team that got in next to them is
somehow just the complete chits right right, Like they just
like somehow your team is like the fourth seed. They're like, wow, yeah,
I mean we're kind of fighting from underneath. But somehow
(44:00):
you're facing like the wild card dead last shit team
right that somehow snuck its way to Zuper Bowl. You're like, yeah, man,
it's pretty awesome. I won that title, like.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
The two thousand and six Colts versus Bears game. Yeah, no,
I remember that.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah. I'm like, hey, man, you know what, I don't wanna.
I don't want to give you too much excitement here,
but it looks like you guys might have a real
fucking Oh.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I'm not even really watching this year. I should be,
but I've really Yeah, yeah, I told you. I fucking
I just don't watch it like I used to. I
know I should because it's both Chicago and fucking Indye
that are doing really well again. And people are like, oh,
it's gonna be a repeat of two thousand and six.
I'm like, you better hope not.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Nah, not, that won't happen, not with Chicago. But Indy
is legit.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Chicago in two thousand and six. It's no fucking way
they're making it with their third string quarterback.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
You like, shit, yeah, there's yeah, there's a lot of well,
there's a lot of dead dog teams right now, like
a lot of a lot of disappointing teams, Like, obviously,
I'm fucking over the moon that my pats are fucking
killing it, But I'll be excited when they start routinely
beating teams at half winning records. And that's not even
me trying to be a negative Nancy, but it's like
(45:12):
when you go out there and you beat like fucking
Tennessee and New Orleans, it's like, yeah, these teams are
the fucking worse. But that's I guess, going going back
to my point, Yeah, he won the belt, but he
won it in the middle of fucking nowhere against a
team that's snuck in in the wild car. No matter
how much we want to pretend that it means something,
(45:33):
it's not right.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
That's what I was gonna say. It almost makes it
feel like even that the title was vacated, it wasn't
like he beat a champion for the title. He beat
a scrub. So it's like, yay, see him punk hast
the belt, But what a shit way to get it.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
He beats somebody he really should beat.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Oh no, for sure, If Jesus could you imagine what
this conversation would be like if Jay won.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Ah, boy, Well there's there's also when this is where
it's unfortunate. It does also go back to the.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Cutler sorry you.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Right, you go back to the you know, fuck Seth
and the face mouth and asks conversation again. Him beating
Gunther should have been a big moment because Gunther's a
real fucking beast, right, He's a real like I get it.
Jay Uso sells more minute made fucking juice boxes or
whatever the fuck, but Gunter is an actual, imposing I
(46:31):
know it's funny. I know that he's selling guyico and
dildo's and batteries or whatever the fuck they have them,
and commercials for it.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
This codildo batteries gets yours from Jay Lusso w W
shot zone dot Com.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Liberty Mutual presents Dildo jil Do Diarrhea, hot dog sandwiches
brought to you by Jay Usso, and get a juice
to wash it all down. But damn g this juice
is too sweet? Get it too sweet? Man? Oh shit, man? Yeah,
he's he beat a guy that no one wanted to
(47:10):
see when with the exception of like ten year olds,
by the way, I will say it was funny. There
was like one and she looked like she was in
her twenties or maybe your twenties. One disappointed Asian lady
in the front row with her thumbs down. I don't
even know if I saw her in the front row
(47:31):
that whole time. I'm like, did this little Asian lady
just sneak up to the front robe just the thumbs
down pup? Yeah, Well, I don't approve. I don't care
for this in the least. That's just not for me.
But like, yeah, he beat a guy. He should have
be in a place that does that holds zero fucking
significance to the guy's career anything.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Well, who do we go? It's that who do we
go with? And so Monday night raw happens? Where are
we going late night? I think L A. Knight's gonna
come out there and interrupt see them Punk during his
celebration or do you think it's gonna be one of
these weird things where nobody interrupts them Punk nobody. He
just goes out there, he cheers for himself, maybe AJ
Leave makes a random appearance, and then he just leaves
(48:16):
and that's it. Nothing else happens.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Well, you know what what would be the move in
that would be for Punk to come out and celebrate, right,
and then aj comes out or you have Aj in
like the front row or something for whatever reason, fucking notes.
And then you have Jade come out and have Jade
be like, look, we both had our big matches last night.
He's like yeah, it's like the only difference is is
(48:41):
that people actually wanted to see me win. They don't
fucking want to see you when not that Jade could
pull this off or anything. And then you have Jade
fucking pull Aj in by the hair, fucking do some shit,
something something more interesting.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
People are saying the vision, you think, oh my wow,
that's you know. The only problem with the vision is,
and I think you've talked about it almost said nauseum
for the last couple of months. Bron Breaker is not
ready for that kind of a spotlight yet. But again,
the problem that we just had with Jade Cargill is
(49:16):
bron Breaker being forced into a corner where they're going
to have to make him the guy to go against
see him punk for this.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Now, let's let's get this, let's get this straight. Let's
make sure that this is clear. He is not in
the vicinity of as bad relatively.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Oh no, it's Jake Cargill. No, no, no, no, I don't
want to make it that way, but he is something
you've openly said, is not ready for being a champion
on that level yet.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
No, no, not even close. I don't think so in
any way, shape or form. And it's not gonna And
by the way, just understanding at this point the overall
feel of wrestling things like, I'm not gonna sit here
and say that I understand every nook and cranny wrestling.
I mean, I was saying two years ago or a
year and a half ago, when Jay started coming out
(50:04):
to that shitty song, I was like, this song is
fucking idiotic. I can't believe people are gonna like this song.
And then they love the song and I was like, oh, well,
I was wrong. I was fine with that. I was
fine being wrong with it because I remember laughing about
it because when I first heard it, I'm like, wait,
it's the USA song. But it's just him being like
this is me, I'm being the guys, this is me,
(50:27):
I'm hanging out, and I was like, this is bad.
This is fucking real bad. But I don't know. People
paid thousands of dollars to see him do it, so
fuck me. I guess, but if you can't put together
the fact the predictability of what happens with certain aspects
of wrestlers and wrestling fans. Like everybody knew eventually Don
(50:48):
was going to start to get over because he was
just too smart and clever and doing funny shit. But
if you do this shit with Braun where you really
really push him too much too fast, people are gonna
turn on him. And not in a boo you're a
heel sort of way, but you look like a fucking
(51:09):
you literally look like a garbage can with arms trying
to have wrestling matches, and you're gonna look bad. I mean,
we already know the guy. The kid can talk well enough,
he can be physically imposing well enough, but at the
end of the day, he's green as grass and he
looks like a steak cup. So he needs to build
more of a rapport, He needs to build more of
(51:31):
a look. He needs to get more comfortable in the ring. Like,
there's a lot of work to do there. And that's
not saying that there's no potential. It's saying that there's
just more to do. And could Punk help him and
help get him there, Yeah, but that should be on
house shows. This is why house shows need to exist
instead of it happening on television to watch the guy
(51:53):
have happy feet and people get sick of him like
he split, because it'll be overpushed and underperformed, right oose Yeah,
overpush underperformed. Yeah gee, it's yeah, I don't know, it's unfortunate.
I'm glad Punk's champion, and I'm loving the fact that
people are posting this picture. Did you see I don't
(52:14):
know who put it in the chat of the aw
ALUNGI all wearing belts, obviously to piss off the internet.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we saw a bunch of those.
I was I was actually sending you guys pictures earlier
about all the AW fans that are pissed off about
tonight or making their snide comments about what was the
stretch that every match had Tony Kahan's and fingers. Oh
there it is, I put posted real quick. Thank you
Tony Khan and AW for saving pro wrestling crazy. How
(52:42):
every match on Saturday Night's main event has aw's fingerprints
on it in some way, shape or form. Tony Khan
changed the game one hundred so.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Which is funny to me because it's like Cody and Drew.
You're like, yeah, I know, Cody's Cody's from WWE. Man,
it's Dusty Roach's kid.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Yeah, but he didn't actually get a career till he
wass aw that's what they're trying to.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
Of course, of course course, and then see him Punk
of course, which is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
Yeah, nobody knew about seeing Punk until after his aw run.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
So Chilli was legitimized by Bandito.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
Darby Allen really brought him to the next level.
Speaker 1 (53:18):
Yeah, until he was legitimized by like Bobby Fish's midlife crisis.
That was probably did it. It's like, you know what,
you want to take credit for Penta, Sure, but Penta
was already on fucking television and he didn't do much
of anything with Penta as a singles performer ever on
his show, and Jade, in my opinion, as a fucking mistake. Anyways,
(53:38):
Jade is then pushing all their chips in on a
look and not much else, and so it's like, yeah,
you guys are so lucky to get her. I'm like, man,
not really, not really. She hasn't gotten any better. Probably
shouldn't have a title, Probably shouldn't be on TV. So
it's almost like once again, I guess, like as another sport,
(54:00):
it's analogy. You gave another team a really bad player
and it's like you're welcome. Oh yeah, wow, we're so
lucky to be traded for the traded for this. Yeah,
but they're like big. Maybe someday they'll be good because
they're big. It's like no, no, they're not going to
be good, but yeah, this show.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
Is that pretty much wraps up Saturday night's main events
post show, much loves everybody living the chat. Much love
to the people downloading on the Patreon and on the
main feed Patreon dot com, Ford slash Wrestling Soup. We
will be back here Tuesday to see what see what happens.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
To see what they yeah, to see how they try
to course correct all of this. This is not even
a real pay per view, so I don't feel like
it's church great, it's two hours.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
It's fine. We don't have to create this. So is
anybody saying that the Dominic russev. Penta match wasn't the
best match of the night, Like, what kind of asshole
is saying any other match was better than the Icy match?
Speaker 1 (55:02):
Someone that probably has like a muscle girl fetish. Maybe
other than that, fair enough, maybe that would be it.
Maybe like a maybe a muscle girl fetish guy or
someone just like a like a kid that loves Cody
about it. I just love anything Cody would do. That
would be my guess. But yeah, no, not fantastic, folks.
So we'll see what's We'll see you see you next Tuesday. Yeah.

For adult Hey, what's going on, Joseph?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh my good, it's just it's just me, mean a guy.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I was kind of hoping for a DQ. I wanted
to see what the fuck they would do if there
was a DQ. I guess the title stays vacant.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Right, Yeah, I mean, dude, this was this night should
have been called a sad attempted course correction for two
of these titles.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Man called it pretty.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Bad SmackDown the cutting room floor, That's what it should
have been. Yes, the Snyder cuts of SmackDown.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
God, I mean, dude, should we? Is there an intro?
We even warranted to this? Hi, guys, welcome to Wrestling Soup.
This was Saturday night, Maine event and it was mercifully short.
I feel like about it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It was shorter than raw, It was shorter than wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, boy oh boy.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Not so many commercials either. I was watching on the
YouTube stream and yeah, other than some like splash screens,
there was no commercials. And I don't know if that's
because I'm one of those YouTube premium members, but that
was nice to watch it. Yeah, and you watched it
on the cock, didn't you I did.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I watched it on the big old Peacock. That's what
That's what I guess is still an option for now.
I mean, dude, I kind of liked the guessing game
at this point where you were like, hey man, it's
on YouTube, and I went, oh word, I had no idea.
I'm like, I just put it on Peacock and I
didn't even know it was on Peacock. I thought it
might also been on regular television, but I was like,
(01:43):
I don't need to go on regular television because I
have Peacock, but I also have YouTube. The I like
the mystery of when the show is going to come
on and where.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, that was the funny thing too. I saw some
people in the chat even saying that too, that they
all thought it started it eight o'clock, and I'm like,
don't feel bad. Draft Kings, the official sponsor of WWE,
told everybody it started at eight o'clock tonight too, So.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, you know, at this point, Draft Kings is I
don't know, sponsoring everything they're sponsoring, like, yeah, your kid's
little league team probably, you know, listen, listen, little Billy,
I need you to strike out three times tonight. Yeah,
if you don't something bad's going to happen to your PlayStation?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, do I sound okay? Yeah, because I got theself
my I'm in Portugal right now, so I wasn't. I
didn't turn it off yet.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, all right, Well that's fine. I mean, I guess
I'm glad that you're broadcasting from a country that loves
wrestling so much too. They must have just not given
WWE six bajillion dollars yet. That's got to be the
problem why they haven't had a show in Portugal, at
least to my knowledge.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Right, I heard they were gonna get it after New
Orleans gets WrestleMania, so it's right around the corner, right.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh my god, WWE presents Sweetbread in the city. Yeah,
that's all I know. That's all I kind of know.
I know Portuguese, the sweetbread's good. I don't know much else.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was gonna say, I'm gonna go out on a
live and say, after WrestleMania this year coming up, they're
gonna announce that Russellmania will be taking place again in
Las Vegas for next next year. Right, that's probably the Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, which, by the way, like I said, I'm
fine with the WrestleMania residency in Vegas. I think it
makes sense to some extent, makes more sense than them
trying to like force feed itto people in Minnesota or something.
But I don't know. That's probably what it will be
going forward. Now, it's like Las Vegas, Saudi Arabia, Las Vegas,
(04:04):
whatever country pays us too much money to go one
or the other. That's probably how this is going to
become a thing. Now. Well, Saturday Nights by the way,
sorry if you hear a loud sump. Now, my cat's
new favorite thing is to jump from the windowsill on
to my fucking computer. It's interesting, oh fun. Only when
(04:26):
I'm recording, though, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Very that's why.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh well, he's a big goofball.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So Saturday Nights made events started at seven o'clock. Where
were they against Salt Lake City or something like.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That, or yeah, you know somewhere, but by the way,
somewhere that we know that has been very impactful in
Punk's career. You know, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, we all know that Chicago is aw town.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So that's that's true. I mean, there's nowhere, there's nowhere
else that a tattooed progressive guy is going to resonate
upon croc tattooed Progressive guys can resonate more than Salt
Lake City, Utah. Yes, you know that's got to be
where his fit. That's where the core audience is for SAMPO.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Do you even know anybody in Utah that's close to
Salt Lake?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
No? I don't know any Mormons yet.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I only know chocolate or chunkers. He's out in Utah?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Is he more? Is he Mormon though? Or Mormon?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
He's Hawaiian?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He's he's Hawaiian. But there's Mormon Hawaiians, right, is there?
I assume there has to be.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I mean, I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's a blue diamond. My friend like.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Playing one of those little guitars on the top of
little ukuleles on top of their tomtoms, and they're talking
about Joseph Smith like that that's possible. Yeah, well, I mean,
this man, this show was not horrible, but not good.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Started it off with Rhodes versus Drew McIntire match, which
immediately felt like it was way too long. I don't know,
it was the first match of the card, and I
was already yawning, and I'm like, ah, this is not
good ever.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Rough. Yeah it was eight six o'clock for you too,
by the way.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh yeah, no, six thirty. I was already like, oh
my god, I'm tired, and what the hell, I don't know,
it's a Saturday, I should be up. It was. This
match was a little rough, a little rough around the edges,
not that there was anything inherently bad about it. It
was just it felt very formulaic, like everything was through
the paces, through the motions. There was really nothing behind
(06:38):
this and for you know, the champion to kind of
go out there for a lackluster match, and I think
part of it is too. I don't think anybody expected
Drew to win now.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So no, no, no, of course, if you if you
go into any Drew McIntire match that has any meaning
or value and think he's going to win, the joke
is truly on you at this point. Yeah, it's not.
It's not gonna happen. It was Dan calling him DM
night at this point, like he's not winning shit, man,
(07:09):
he's a jobber to the stars. And it's it's a
shame because I spent years tooling on him, even going
back to the times where he didn't have the beard
and he was skinnier and tall, and you know, people
thought that, well, he's tall and does a flip to
the outside, so that makes him a good wrestler. And
I was like, this guy sucks. This guy fucking stinks.
(07:30):
And then you know, slowly but surely, he got better
and now we can actually talk and he has good
matches and he's believable, which is all leading us to
the point now where he will never win anything ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever ever again apparently. So what a fucking waste, A
completely fucking waste.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
They gave him the belting COVID guys, I mean, what
else does he need?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So I got to wind a belt in front of
fucking nobody. That was That was a nice running joke
during CO There wasn't a lot of things to laugh at,
but it was certainly fun to laugh at Drew. The
whole story coming to head with him winning in front
of absolutely fucking nobody in a burnt out kmart.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I mean, that's the one thing that we got to
talk about though, that happened in this match was we
had the first of three kning injuries over the night.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Thank you. Yes, I was in a row in a row, yeah,
I mean, this is really these agents. I mean I
I Am not going to sit here and at this
point in my life be like, well, I mean let
me add him. I'd fix it. No, that's not my
thought process at all. But the fact that there's four
(08:44):
matches on a show? Am I am I wrong? Here?
Did I miss one? Did I zone out? Four matches?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah? Four matches on a show and the agents can't
get together and figure out how to not do the
same shit in four matches, which is four four of them.
I mean, come on, dude, Like, you know, it's really
easy to shit on the aw Supercards where they have
fifteen matches in a row and it's like, oh, they
(09:11):
all do the same shit. It's like, well, I mean,
there's only so many times you can do a fucking
magic trick. You know that's gonna eventually somebody's gonna still
be pulling a fucking handkerchief out of their mouths over
and over again or something. But four matches, I'd like
three of them in a row.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I'd like to think that there's four different agents, but
one of them's the nerd and three of them stayed home, right,
Like is that how it works? One's doing everybody's homework.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, no, honest to God, no, no, Mitch. What I
think at this point is and this is where it's
almost a problem where if you only have four matches
on the show, whoever is like your lead agent should
handle those four matches and everyone else can stay home
for that show, right, because then you're gonna actually get continuity,
like I said, if you've got seven eight matches on card,
(10:00):
which WW rarely does at this point. Anyways, it's like,
take whoever the fuck is actually efficient and like can
get this done and hammered this out and look at
him and be like, yeah, no, I just had this
conversation with somebody, so I know exactly what's happening in
this match, So don't do this in the next one
five minutes later. I don't get it. I do not
(10:24):
understand how that just I mean even Cody, okay, because
the first three matches, of all the people that are
in them, I take Cody and Drew to be the
ones that would be most present of it. I'm giving
Drew that level of whatever because technically he's him and
(10:44):
Cody of the Vets. I believe in the situation in
those three matches, believe it or not, he's more experienced
than Tiffany Stratton. No, but I know, I know I
expect more of Cody Roast and Jade Cargle. But there
is this point where I looked at I go they
don't even walk around and say, hey, what are you
guys doing in your matches? What are you doing in
(11:06):
your Are you guys doing a fucking knee spot? Are
you guys doing a thing where you pretend you hurt
your knee and then never fucking go back to it again?
And then it's like, how how do you let that fly?
How does nobody even look at it? And by the way,
with Tiffany, the whole story was her knees fucked, So
why are you doing shit like you hurt your knees
and matches unless you really did?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well that was the whole thing too, is he was
supposedly doing it because he watched that spot maybe, so who.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Knows, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I mean that's so you know, so say it was
your fucking shoulder and anything pick another body part.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I don't know. I mean, I know this kind.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Of disappointment is that we know that Cody and McIntyre
of are far, far more capable of having a better
match than we got. This was this was paint by numbers.
This was very rudimentary in a lot of ways, Like
this is not a title match between two guys that,
as you pointed out, are the veterans of the whole show.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
So right now, I mean, I will say this. There
were a handful of spots in this where I was
somewhat relieved. I'm like, Okay, Drew's trying to lure him
out of the ring at one point, I'm like, yeah,
because he gets to count out. He's a heel. He
didn't give a shit how he wins the title. He
just wins, right. Little stuff like that I did like,
and I picked up on that. But we're also once
(12:32):
again in a place where it's you know, this is
the first match, and nobody on earth believes that Cody
Rose is losing, right, so you're not helping yourself. And
it's supposed to be the World's Heavyweight title, of the
real WWE title, or whatever the fuck we want to
call it this week, and it falls flat. Yep, it
just falls flat, and it is unfortunate. I think that
(12:54):
Cody needs a refresher. Bad Drew as much as I
like him. I'm like, I don't know what you do.
I don't know what you do with them? And I saw,
you know, people were posting shit up. You know, true
True should go and wrestle all the people at AW
because they actually like him and respect her whatever. Michael
Drew is also like a forty something year old man, right.
I know he's just trying to make his money and
(13:17):
probably get the fuck out of there the next two
to three to five years. But I don't know what
you do. You just keep beating this fucking guy like
a rug.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Do you think you do something crazy with him, like
send him down to NXT kind of like they did
with other guys too, to give him a little bit
of a refresher.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Because I think I really think they should start trading
people out with TNA mish if anything. Yeah, they got tnah, yeah,
why are we not? Like Okay, I know they ran
a shoe.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I think I think the notion behind that sending people
the TNA is still seen as a demotion, don't you think?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
What? Well, yeah, but I yeah it is. Boohoo. What
do you want? Like would you rather get fired? Like
I kind of see it like that, Like it's just
how about this glass half empty? It's a demotion glass
half full. We're giving you something to do to help
out these other people and help out these companies, which
(14:16):
when you're a middle aged person still wrestling, that's what
your job kind of should be, right I I.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Just wish it wasn't like the only options for Drew
are find a better feud, or get demoted or get fired.
Though you know, like it's just it feels more like
this isn't Drew's fault. This is creative's fault for not
putting him in better situations. This is creative's fault for
the only thing that they can figure out for Drew
is to have him lose for the next two years.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Like, well, the chat GBT is is chat GBT in
right now? You can tell? I mean, how about just
this right, I have absolutely no idea how you have
see him punk win the championship in your main event
and your opener you have Cody Rhoades fucking lose or
(15:08):
excuse me of Cody Rose beat Drew McIntyre and Drew
McIntyre shit history being positioned. Yes, he should be positioned
as either in the vicinity of the title like however,
and over Punk, like I didn't fucking forget about you,
or he should be his first opponent.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
No, totally agree. He should have been there fucking watching
the whole time, Like when see him Punk won, you
should have saw him up the ramp, just Drew fucking
doing a golf clap, like a completely insincere fuck you
golf clap, you.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Know, yeah, and Drew, imagine if you just didn't if
he didn't get fucking beat by Cody. And I know
people like, well they made that a little ambiguous or
whatever because of spots and ref bumps or whatever. Whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It still sucked referee with the whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It wasn't good either way, it wasn't good. But there's
should have been no Drew on this show, especially in
a match where he loses, and it should have been
put into a position where you know, Drew once again,
how about you have Drew come out after Punk wins
on fucking Monday or Friday.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They can still do you still have money? But I mean, honestly,
if it wasn't Drew, why not in l A Knight.
Elle Knight's right. I know there's a lot you could
do with this, but it just feels so aimless. Because
what you're saying, I really don't think it would ever happen, right,
like the glass happens, Well, it is like, holy shit,
Joe's got a great idea. Bring out Drew, bring out
(16:39):
La Knight, have them fight over who gets to fuck Punk.
I get it, that could be fun to watch. Is
that going to happen? No, not at all, None of it.
None of it.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And not only will that more than likely not happen.
We're gonna go back to Jay Usso and his gear
where he looks like he's going to fucking Planet Fitness
to work out. He's they're probably Now Jay's gonna go
real bad. Now he's gonna feel even more feelings. I
feel angry feelings now fucking go away.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
He's not sad away angry, Yeah, he's angry.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Can you picture right now that there's people backstage that
are like, Drew can't fucking do much with him. L A.
Knight can't do much with him, I guess, can't can't
figure out anything for him to do with Punk. I'd suppose,
which hopefully I'm wrong. You know, maybe Monday they'll have
Night do something. I don't know, but you look at
those two and then you go. Yeah, Jay jay Uso
(17:41):
dressed like a fucking like he looks shindy. It looks
like a shindy wrestler.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They're gonna throw us for a swerve and bring out Damien.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Priest, another charismatic powerhouse. Oh my god, good fucking Gouda.
I'm so just I am so disappointed in a lot
of the shit that happened on this show. And it
was only two hours. I'll get be four matches, so that.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It was the least fast. It was very fast. And
the next match that we had up on the card
was the Women's Championship match between Tiffany and Jade Curl. Oh,
I mean besides Jade almost killing Tiffany on a couple
of occasions, especially outside the ring, with that that short
knee fall. Yeah yeah, another injury, another knee injury, a
spot which was obviously focused on Tiffany at least there
was a storyline behind that a little bit. But yeah,
(18:34):
this was not a good match, and thankfully even faster
than the first one.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Jade is not ready for any of this at all.
And I get you looks great, and I guess that's
the starting point in the finishing point here, but can't
really talk, can't really work, desperately needed somebody. She needs
somebody with her to play off of, whether it be
(19:01):
another rest of Naomi.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Naomi was the only one that really got her to shine,
not even Bianca. I think Naomi was the only one
that got something really interesting out of Jade Kerkle.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Of course, because Naomi's good, Naomi's talented, and she was
able to try to. I think she made Jade a
little bit more comfortable. But at the same time, I
mean she is she is the shits. I mean truly,
this was like, this.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Is a lateral move at best. Don't you think, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
That's poop defeated shit at a match, for you know,
that's what we had in this situation. Tiffany was at
this point. I said it six months ago. I don't
want to hear from anybody that this is like some
sort of Johnny Come Lately bullshit from me or from you.
Six months ago, I said she should have gone back
(19:52):
to NXT and they should have taken the belt off
for ye like asap, fucking asap, fucking Rocky asap, berd
that shit off of him.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
They pushed us all into a fucking corner there was
no other choice but to eventually give it to Jade.
And here we are. Here we are. If Naomi didn't
get hurt, if Bianco was still around this, we wouldn't
even have this conversation. But the way all the dominoes fell, oh,
it's like, well, I guess it's time, Jade.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You know, are you ready to hear something that I would?
You would never have if there was like a what's
that thing that people bet on? Not DraftKings? It's like
an app where people can illegally gamble but not really
gamble on random shit. What's it called? That's like ki No, no, no,
(20:45):
that's sports. It's like people to pick whatever random, right,
somebody's got to know what it is. They run they
run ads for it NonStop on YouTube, and it's like
the worst AI fucking slop not Chumpa Casino, although Chumpa
Casino is AI slop shit, I don't know. South Park
did an episode about it. Somebody do a little look
up on it. But anyways, nobody would have ever have
(21:08):
picked me saying this, But I would have given the
fucking belt to Naya Jacks before I would have given
it to her.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Jesus, honestly, yeah. Wow, Yeah, Keana James. I think Keana
James could have had a nice run with the belt.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Who the hell's Kiana?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm not kidding. Who's Kian's She was down an NXC
and she came up to XC. She's on the SmackDown roster. Actually,
you know who they should have given it to. If
you're gonna go with a real wild card, given it
to Machine, Me.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And Jim who oh oh okay, I me a m
By the way.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I will say Julia, I mean, I guess you could,
but then you have to rely on WWE filling in
the gaps for Julia.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
The way he said that, for a second, I thought
you said Machine, I was like Bert Kreischer, give it
to Bert Kreischer. I won the women's title. Fucking he'd
be a great obnoxious heel manager, wouldn't he. Oh yeah,
bloated with no shirt and the fucking beard and the
(22:14):
Russian acts a hard time.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Maybe mak Him Russov's manager if they can't get Lama back.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Wow, what a fair trade, Hi, you used to have,
like maybe one of the sexiest Eastern European women we
could find. We're going to exchange that for a bloated,
pre dementia alcoholic comedian who is circling the drained career
(22:43):
wise and popularity.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Doesn't have great ideas.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Come on now, yeah, I know he's like, let me
put this in the Gemini real quick. I don't know
what it is. Yeah, no, dude, Jade is bad. Like
I said, and I will repeat, Jade is bad enough
that I would have given the title to Nya Jacks
before her, because at least if I have big tubby
(23:07):
Naya Jacks with the title walking around the Christmas tree,
at least if I give it to her, she's going
to get the right type of heat, whereas Jade like healed,
Jade now rough rough and honestly I would have picked
Chelsea either too. But Chelsea's start too right.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, I don't think Chelsea. I know. I saw Dan
saying that she's down on NXT. I thought she was
laid up, but who knows, could be. I know, she
just signed a new contract, so she's not going anywhere.
For all you aw fans I listen to the show, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well yeah, yeah, all thirty eight is yeah no, this
this was bad. This was genuinely like like I said,
It's like, you know, Poop has defeated shit for the title,
and now we're just moving it across, just moving it
across the board. And I don't know who she's going
to wrestle. I don't know if they think, like all
(24:04):
the people you're you're mentioning there, Mia Yam and even
Julia and all them, Is it that all those.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Even j can't they just bring back Natty for a night?
Like what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Oh, you're not wrong. Natty's putting out a book. Why not?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Might as well? I mean it, And I'm sure somebody
would say built to Naddy in twenty twenty five? Yeah,
why not?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I did watch last night, Sean. I'm sorry. I didn't
know that you wrestled last night, So I apologize, but yeah, no,
I didn't see smack Down last night.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
My bad. Give it to her on the bad. Yeah,
I don't know Chelsea. Lest did they say Chelsea wrestled
last night?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Is that she was on smack or I don't. Yeah,
she has a match with Julia next week. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I'd have given the bill to her before Jade gargle, honestly,
I would. I would only assume at this point because with.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The storyline that's the problem. I think they backed themselves
into a corner with Jade. I think they thought that
people like Naomi and Bianca Blair were going to be
around long enough to keep Jade above water, because it's
all we were hoping was that Jade improves enough to
where she's not the drizzling shit's in the Ring and
Tiffany Stratton and everybody else got hurt or they took
(25:17):
time off, et cetera, et cetera, and they focused all
of this story around Jade Cargle. And now you're at
this point where Tiffany Stratton hasn't exactly lightening up the
world either. So it's not even just me and you
that are like, ah, Tiffany Stratton's kind of fallen off.
A lot of people have kind of jumped ship with
Tiffany Stratton and they've kind of abandoned her because she
(25:39):
is really just deep involved. Yeah, she just regressed totally
from her promost to her in ring. It's really wild.
I don't think I've ever seen somebody that wasn't like
seriously injured regress is poorly. So now they're put in
a position where she's the champion of all fucking things,
and they have to give it to somebody else. And
the only person that WWE has really been focusing all
(26:02):
their chips on that's left is Jade. So it's like
this was the natural progression of things, I guess.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But they really should have put off of Great Dude,
you took the belt off of Gender Mahal and put
it on Great Golly. That's basically what. Yeah, they they
shouldn't move.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
They should have given themselves an out. They should have
given themselves a way to have this. The only thing
I'm hoping, Joe is that by the time we get
to next Friday, this Jade circuit thing that we've got
going on right now was a fluke that she has,
like a cane title run. You know, you get it
till the next show and then it's off and maybe
Julia does take it, maybe somebody else does take it.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now hear me out on this, because this is somebody
that also in the past I haven't spoken too highly.
This is, by the way, this is how little I
think of Jade's ability to do anything in the ring.
I would have even been like, fucking fuck it, bring
Jordan Grace up.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That would have been a big name to surprise you big.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Push, have her come out fucking oh Tiffany Stratton, which,
by the way, they should have been slowly turning Tiffany
Stratton heal. Anyways, after that WrestleMania match, you could hear
the reactions die.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I love Big Daddy STV's suggestion and the chat he says,
bring an Oscar. Look if they didn't have the stupid
brand ship at this point, and it is stupid, Yeah,
why wouldn't Oscar just truck on over to SmackDown and
just fucking throw her name and they had to take
the title.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Like I know you're not wrong, Yeah, that would if anything, Yeah,
just having Oscar show up and just be like I
want all the belts yea. All right? That stemach gemmack
mah n that I am, by the way, aw is
(27:56):
so irrelevant. I don't get to break out my Sasha
Banks voice anymore. It's it really is sad. I know
that some people despise my fucking impressions, but that's one
of that one's for me, you know what I mean,
Like I feel that in my soul when I do
my Sasha Banks impression, but it feels good.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Short it is over. We have Jade Carterle, who's a
new champion. But then we get to the highlight of
the show, the genuine highlight of the show, which was
the Icy Championship match between Dominic Penta and Russev. A
lot of fun moments in this, a lot of creativity,
because that's what you expect out of a Dominic match.
Russev was an absolute murder throughout the entire thing. Penta
(28:38):
was hanging on his own. Penta was flashy at points.
I enjoyed him doing the spots off of Russev's back.
Dominic is clever as always, laughed my ass off with
the chair spot where he gave Russev the chair and
fell down and went, ref, how can he hit me?
And the Ref's like, dude, it's fucking nody chewing Russev
smiles and like that was just classic comedy right there,
(29:03):
because that was one of those cases where Dominic's too
smart for everybody in the room. But at the same
point he worked himself. You know, it's like, oh, that's great.
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, this truly should have been the opener of the show.
It would have set a much better tone. Yeah, it
really really would have. So you would have had clear
cut heels. You would have had the baby face who's
a heel, like at least in that like I get it.
Usually I'm the person that's like, make it fucking easy,
peasy right now.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I mean, you really don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I hate it? Yeah, I don't, unless unless we're referring
to the North Shore of Boston roast beef sandwich, which
a three way is. Let's see, it's barbecue sauce, American
cheese and mayonnaise on a roastby sandwich. The best type
of three way. I mean, I mean it's I'm sure
(29:53):
Xavier Woods would.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Be big to differ forties go on.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, but no, like, yeah, I'm not usually a fan
of that style of match, but this would have been
a real good opener. It would have set a better
tone for the crowd. It would have set a better vibe,
if you will, for the whole rest of the show.
But no, this was probably the most fun thing on
the card. I mean, I don't even think probably.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It was the cereal stealing the fucking or ringing the
bell and then the hammer bits with fucking Penta missing
and smashing russev with it like it was fun. It
was really fun, and it's one of those matches that
I like, the creativity that they constantly give top and
(30:39):
that creativity elevates everybody in this match. Everybody looked good,
the crowd enjoyed the hell out of it. Why aren't
more matches this creative? Why is it that all these
other matches rely on the knee injury and this match
actually has so many onion layers to it that it's
(31:00):
fun to watch and dissect. I don't understand how we
can watch the other three matches on this card and
literally snooze through them. But one guy, you're telling me,
one guy is so creative that he's the only one
that can have these fun matches that involve the ref
involve the ring bell fucking bearer, that involve you know,
(31:21):
everybody outside the ring inside the ring, like cheap shit.
Like it's just I don't I don't understand. How is it.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Because because these people, so many of the people that
are involved in wrestling now think the only value is
the amount of shit you do with the amount you
hurt yourself, like getting people involved, Like no matter what
whatever Dom's doing with somebody in a match, like you said,
he's getting people involved. He's the raft's involved. You know,
(31:52):
like everybody there is doing something. No one gets a
fucking night off when they're working with Dom. He's actually
just getting you to do shit in this match, which,
by the way, it was interesting that in the opener
they didn't have my boy Ryan Tran. They had the
guy that looks like Chunky Mike Quackenbush to do the referee,
(32:14):
and I don't remember his name. I don't remember that
guy's name. Andrew Martin is test right, I mean I
can see the resemblance for sure. Yeah, it could be brothers.
I was fucking Danny DeVito and Narl Schwartzenegger. No, dude,
this was the best thing on the show. It's not
(32:34):
like the competition was stiff and there were four matches,
but yes, this was easily the most entertaining thing on
the show.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, no, for sure, loved it. Love this match. This
is one of the only takeaway matches of the entire thing.
And then I guess we get to the the Last
Time is Now tournament.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Oh this is very aw I gotta say.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I mean, I guess it's a way to maximize John
Cena's retirement. But what are your thoughts on me the
the because I guess it's kicking off in Boston next week,
right or a week from yeah, next Monday night or whatever, Yeah,
next Monday.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
So I'm waiting. I'm waiting to find out. I'm like,
all right, who's showing up in Boston for this thing?
That'll be that'll be very funny, that'll be very interesting.
I mean, I get what they're going for. They're charging
so much god damn money to go to these shows.
They have to be like there's a tournament and it's
all the stars, and it's people from Raw and from SmackDown,
(33:29):
and there'll be surprises. Like, like I said, I can
make fun of the tournament thing and say, what are
like a fucking aw ass cop out for them to do?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
But they did picture for what Joe. They did in
that promo. They had Solo, they had Seamus, they had Dominic,
they had Gunther and Camelo Hayes. So those are the
people in the pictures.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, I know Carmelo's getting that match because he's going
to be home. But once again, I don't watch SmackDown,
but that poor guy man, I feel like I haven't
seen him in a hundred years. I feel like he
is just done, done, so gonzo. But yeah, I get
(34:10):
the idea of it. I understand what they're going for.
Like I said to Hey, you're going to get to
see all the people from Ron SmackDown. Hey, we're gonna
give you guys a couple you know, jaw dropping moments
or whatever the fuck it's going to be. But well,
I mean we'll we'll say.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I mean, when it comes down, if there's only two
people that I want to see involved in his cup
as his last abountant, Gunther and Kevin Owens, that's it.
That's it. Kevin Owens is a hard stretch because we
don't even know how how he's recovering. We know that
his last real discussion about it was it's it's going
(34:47):
kind of response.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But I don't know, man, which he which even at
this point. If he showed up and had the last
match with Sina and beat him, I mean, then we're
having a then at least we kept no one's assuming.
I still feel like this is far fetched. I think
if that guy is hurt enough, he's hurt hurt, you know, Like,
that's a dude who's been wrestling for a quarter of
(35:09):
a century. He was always heavy, he was always doing
stupid stuff. If we don't see him again for another
year or ever again, I wouldn't be surprised, but like,
you want to talk about a guy like him being like,
check the resume. I retired John Suda, I retired Stone
Colt Stubustin, Like, wow, that's.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Who are we?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's something?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Is there still a potential? Are you still underneath the
idea that there is a potential seth rawlins swerve maybe
being saved for something like the last time.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I mean, I'm turning it off if that is, like
I'm not even being I'm not even trying to be
like funny year right, I'm not even trying to be
like a cool, cool guy. Like I'm like, if this,
if this culminates in a fucking seth rawlins surprise, I'd
be like, yeah, I'm good man, I don't need to
watch I don't need to watch this, dude. I'll fucking
(36:07):
come on the show and talk about fucking birthday cake
ice cream. At that point, I'll be like, yeah, I
want to talk about some snacks or something like anything.
I don't want to talk about seth rawlins for another
six months, right, Like I need I need a break
from seth rawlins.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Oh no, and I know, but we're in this weird
position where, yeah, we saw some more pictures and yeah,
he just did an interview where he was all, you know,
he had the cast on, and I always immediately just go, oh,
look it's the cast. But I don't know because he's
already worked everybody once. There's a lot of people that
are like, oh, yeah, I know, he's really injured, and
(36:44):
a lot of people are like, I don't know, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
So I'm just giving a short one. I want to
shout out to Nasha. Corey it's his first time listening
to the show live mentioned that early. I don't usually
do requests, but I'll tell you, I'll make that noise
just for just that's what we're missing clearly from the show.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Right, no sah, no seth voices.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Jesus ah, God, guy, you know I'm fucking deprived. I'm
depriving you.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We at least had enzoled this week, so that's okay, right.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
That's true. And androde forever forever, dude, Androatee forever. And
I'm still trying to figure it out a way how
to work my new character class conscious Russev that one.
I'm gonna work him into the mix a little bit more.
I think that's important. I really enjoyed having Russev have
the have the conversation with Cody where Cody was like afterwards, yeah,
(37:45):
I mean you got some points, you really you made
some good points. But yeah, I don't know, man, that
fucking should we just do the main e antier because
we are.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
We're at the meat events. So yeah, it was Jay
Uso for the vacated title, and Jay Uso came out
for a couple of entrances, got people on their feet,
although they were kind of booing. I was say, Salt
Lake City definitely put their emotions on the table and
(38:17):
did not give Jay the super yeating type of response
that he was expecting, although later on in the match,
they did kind of get behind him a little bit,
but they were excited for old Sam Punk there, mister Chicago.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Well, it's also because they're doing all this weird gray
area ambiguity of you know, is Jay actually a bad guy?
And by the way, Jay came out wearing black today,
so you know that he's serious and bad. Oh god, god,
it's so rotten. It is rotten. The works rotten, The
(38:51):
promos are rotten, the storyline is rotten. It fucking stinks.
And the best thing it had going for it was
keeping it as a middle to middle upper card gimmick
to where he could still come out and sell sunglasses
and do the bullshit the kids. And now you're gonna
take that away and try to convince people that he's
(39:12):
a serious.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Fucking well, it's I might have with this right. This
match did not go the way I expected it to go,
or it should have went. In what world is j
Uso competitive with? Ce them Punk? In what world?
Speaker 1 (39:28):
None?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
And in this match they were so evenly matched it
came down to the last thirty seconds see them Punk
barely barely pulled it out to beat ja Uso. I'm
not saying this should have been like brock lesnar johnsona
Summer Slam shit, but it should have been a lot
easier for See Them Punk to beat j Usso j
(39:52):
Uso kids out of multiple go to sleeps, come on. Stop.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Like I said the other day, there is no winning
in this situation right where there are people that will
routinely be like, oh you got anything Punk does you guys?
Can It's great I'm like, well, he's better than most
of the people on the show by a lot, so
that's gonna be that's gonna be a by his sees.
I guess I have, but it's also seemingly pretty obvious,
(40:21):
especially when you're putting him in the ring against fucking
shay Us all the time. But there is something to
the effect of here's a big moment for this guy
and it's happening in front of a bunch of fucking Mormons.
I just want to get out of there and make
some sort of a doctor Pepper float because they're not
allowed to drink booze. Dorks, A bunch of fucking dorks
(40:42):
believe it in some fake shit. Well he ways back
to pro wrestling, the real shit. Yeah, it's an embarrassment.
I mean, this is I feel bad for Punk in
this moment because, like I said, this should have been more.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Were the row on that the lightest, the softest sleeper
I think I've ever seen the softest, And they're like, oh,
you see him, Punk can barely handle it. I'm like,
is Jay even touching him like.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I've seen my I've seen a cat more ferociously rab
at a little toy like a little stuffy phillip of
little little nippy.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Babies, use more force a whole like it's a awful.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Dude, j jay us. At this point, he stinks he's
fucking god awful. The brother. The brother is so much
better than him, it's insane. Solo is much better personality wise,
but they've beaten him like a rug, and I don't
think his work is there. Jacob is like the biggest
star of the Samoan guys fans. Yeah, and he's like,
(41:58):
he's like, chill, you show him. I'm aware wolf, I
needed to have brush my teeth pedal and I'm all
fucked up. Brush my teeth, get yourself a water pick, motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
And just take his grill. Fix that prop real quick.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I like the idea. I like the idea of Jacobatu
going into the dentist's office. Eddie's getting this, Eddie's getting
his worksne and they just see some guy and he's
just like the dentist is like didn't you say the
N word? And a rap song with Rakishi, Like for
some reason, the dentist has some sort.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Of real sure yeah, real.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Fuck, the dentist has some real insider knowledge, or maybe
the dentist likes that, and he's like, I'll fix you
up real quick. I love that you said the N
word on that song with Rakishi. That makes me real happy.
But no, Jayce fucking sucks, dude. I mean, I'm I'm,
I'm done even tap dancing around it to something like
(43:00):
all right, I get it, and he sells the shirts.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Well where do we go from? The jay is effectively neutered.
There was no Seth return tonight. There was no Drew
pop up or La Night pop up at the entrance.
We got CM Punk coming out Monday as the new champion.
And I hate this because I love CM Punk as champion,
I really do. But it's just such a lackluster match
(43:27):
to win, do you know what I mean? It's like, yeah,
you beat the slow kid in class for for the A.
I mean I guess sure. I mean he couldn't spell no,
but that's all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
So it's like somehow your team is in the super Bowl,
but the team that got in next to them is
somehow just the complete chits right right, Like they just
like somehow your team is like the fourth seed. They're like, wow, yeah,
I mean we're kind of fighting from underneath. But somehow
(44:00):
you're facing like the wild card dead last shit team
right that somehow snuck its way to Zuper Bowl. You're like, yeah, man,
it's pretty awesome. I won that title, like.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
The two thousand and six Colts versus Bears game. Yeah, no,
I remember that.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah. I'm like, hey, man, you know what, I don't wanna.
I don't want to give you too much excitement here,
but it looks like you guys might have a real
fucking Oh.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I'm not even really watching this year. I should be,
but I've really Yeah, yeah, I told you. I fucking
I just don't watch it like I used to. I
know I should because it's both Chicago and fucking Indye
that are doing really well again. And people are like, oh,
it's gonna be a repeat of two thousand and six.
I'm like, you better hope not.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Nah, not, that won't happen, not with Chicago. But Indy
is legit.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Chicago in two thousand and six. It's no fucking way
they're making it with their third string quarterback.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
You like, shit, yeah, there's yeah, there's a lot of well,
there's a lot of dead dog teams right now, like
a lot of a lot of disappointing teams, Like, obviously,
I'm fucking over the moon that my pats are fucking
killing it, But I'll be excited when they start routinely
beating teams at half winning records. And that's not even
me trying to be a negative Nancy, but it's like
(45:12):
when you go out there and you beat like fucking
Tennessee and New Orleans, it's like, yeah, these teams are
the fucking worse. But that's I guess, going going back
to my point, Yeah, he won the belt, but he
won it in the middle of fucking nowhere against a
team that's snuck in in the wild car. No matter
how much we want to pretend that it means something,
(45:33):
it's not right.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
That's what I was gonna say. It almost makes it
feel like even that the title was vacated, it wasn't
like he beat a champion for the title. He beat
a scrub. So it's like, yay, see him punk hast
the belt, But what a shit way to get it.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
He beats somebody he really should beat.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Oh no, for sure, If Jesus could you imagine what
this conversation would be like if Jay won.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Ah, boy, Well there's there's also when this is where
it's unfortunate. It does also go back to the.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Cutler sorry you.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Right, you go back to the you know, fuck Seth
and the face mouth and asks conversation again. Him beating
Gunther should have been a big moment because Gunther's a
real fucking beast, right, He's a real like I get it.
Jay Uso sells more minute made fucking juice boxes or
whatever the fuck, but Gunter is an actual, imposing I
(46:31):
know it's funny. I know that he's selling guyico and
dildo's and batteries or whatever the fuck they have them,
and commercials for it.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
This codildo batteries gets yours from Jay Lusso w W
shot zone dot Com.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Liberty Mutual presents Dildo jil Do Diarrhea, hot dog sandwiches
brought to you by Jay Usso, and get a juice
to wash it all down. But damn g this juice
is too sweet? Get it too sweet? Man? Oh shit, man? Yeah,
he's he beat a guy that no one wanted to
(47:10):
see when with the exception of like ten year olds,
by the way, I will say it was funny. There
was like one and she looked like she was in
her twenties or maybe your twenties. One disappointed Asian lady
in the front row with her thumbs down. I don't
even know if I saw her in the front row
(47:31):
that whole time. I'm like, did this little Asian lady
just sneak up to the front robe just the thumbs
down pup? Yeah, Well, I don't approve. I don't care
for this in the least. That's just not for me.
But like, yeah, he beat a guy. He should have
be in a place that does that holds zero fucking
significance to the guy's career anything.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Well, who do we go? It's that who do we
go with? And so Monday night raw happens? Where are
we going late night? I think L A. Knight's gonna
come out there and interrupt see them Punk during his
celebration or do you think it's gonna be one of
these weird things where nobody interrupts them Punk nobody. He
just goes out there, he cheers for himself, maybe AJ
Leave makes a random appearance, and then he just leaves
(48:16):
and that's it. Nothing else happens.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Well, you know what what would be the move in
that would be for Punk to come out and celebrate, right,
and then aj comes out or you have Aj in
like the front row or something for whatever reason, fucking notes.
And then you have Jade come out and have Jade
be like, look, we both had our big matches last night.
He's like yeah, it's like the only difference is is
(48:41):
that people actually wanted to see me win. They don't
fucking want to see you when not that Jade could
pull this off or anything. And then you have Jade
fucking pull Aj in by the hair, fucking do some shit,
something something more interesting.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
People are saying the vision, you think, oh my wow,
that's you know. The only problem with the vision is,
and I think you've talked about it almost said nauseum
for the last couple of months. Bron Breaker is not
ready for that kind of a spotlight yet. But again,
the problem that we just had with Jade Cargill is
(49:16):
bron Breaker being forced into a corner where they're going
to have to make him the guy to go against
see him punk for this.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Now, let's let's get this, let's get this straight. Let's
make sure that this is clear. He is not in
the vicinity of as bad relatively.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Oh no, it's Jake Cargill. No, no, no, no, I don't
want to make it that way, but he is something
you've openly said, is not ready for being a champion
on that level yet.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
No, no, not even close. I don't think so in
any way, shape or form. And it's not gonna And
by the way, just understanding at this point the overall
feel of wrestling things like, I'm not gonna sit here
and say that I understand every nook and cranny wrestling.
I mean, I was saying two years ago or a
year and a half ago, when Jay started coming out
(50:04):
to that shitty song, I was like, this song is
fucking idiotic. I can't believe people are gonna like this song.
And then they love the song and I was like, oh, well,
I was wrong. I was fine with that. I was
fine being wrong with it because I remember laughing about
it because when I first heard it, I'm like, wait,
it's the USA song. But it's just him being like
this is me, I'm being the guys, this is me,
(50:27):
I'm hanging out, and I was like, this is bad.
This is fucking real bad. But I don't know. People
paid thousands of dollars to see him do it, so
fuck me. I guess, but if you can't put together
the fact the predictability of what happens with certain aspects
of wrestlers and wrestling fans. Like everybody knew eventually Don
(50:48):
was going to start to get over because he was
just too smart and clever and doing funny shit. But
if you do this shit with Braun where you really
really push him too much too fast, people are gonna
turn on him. And not in a boo you're a
heel sort of way, but you look like a fucking
(51:09):
you literally look like a garbage can with arms trying
to have wrestling matches, and you're gonna look bad. I mean,
we already know the guy. The kid can talk well enough,
he can be physically imposing well enough, but at the
end of the day, he's green as grass and he
looks like a steak cup. So he needs to build
more of a rapport, He needs to build more of
(51:31):
a look. He needs to get more comfortable in the ring. Like,
there's a lot of work to do there. And that's
not saying that there's no potential. It's saying that there's
just more to do. And could Punk help him and
help get him there, Yeah, but that should be on
house shows. This is why house shows need to exist
instead of it happening on television to watch the guy
(51:53):
have happy feet and people get sick of him like
he split, because it'll be overpushed and underperformed, right oose Yeah,
overpush underperformed. Yeah gee, it's yeah, I don't know, it's unfortunate.
I'm glad Punk's champion, and I'm loving the fact that
people are posting this picture. Did you see I don't
(52:14):
know who put it in the chat of the aw
ALUNGI all wearing belts, obviously to piss off the internet.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we saw a bunch of those.
I was I was actually sending you guys pictures earlier
about all the AW fans that are pissed off about
tonight or making their snide comments about what was the
stretch that every match had Tony Kahan's and fingers. Oh
there it is, I put posted real quick. Thank you
Tony Khan and AW for saving pro wrestling crazy. How
(52:42):
every match on Saturday Night's main event has aw's fingerprints
on it in some way, shape or form. Tony Khan
changed the game one hundred so.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Which is funny to me because it's like Cody and Drew.
You're like, yeah, I know, Cody's Cody's from WWE. Man,
it's Dusty Roach's kid.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Yeah, but he didn't actually get a career till he
wass aw that's what they're trying to.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
Of course, of course course, and then see him Punk
of course, which is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
Yeah, nobody knew about seeing Punk until after his aw run.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
So Chilli was legitimized by Bandito.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
Darby Allen really brought him to the next level.
Speaker 1 (53:18):
Yeah, until he was legitimized by like Bobby Fish's midlife crisis.
That was probably did it. It's like, you know what,
you want to take credit for Penta, Sure, but Penta
was already on fucking television and he didn't do much
of anything with Penta as a singles performer ever on
his show, and Jade, in my opinion, as a fucking mistake. Anyways,
(53:38):
Jade is then pushing all their chips in on a
look and not much else, and so it's like, yeah,
you guys are so lucky to get her. I'm like, man,
not really, not really. She hasn't gotten any better. Probably
shouldn't have a title, Probably shouldn't be on TV. So
it's almost like once again, I guess, like as another sport,
(54:00):
it's analogy. You gave another team a really bad player
and it's like you're welcome. Oh yeah, wow, we're so
lucky to be traded for the traded for this. Yeah,
but they're like big. Maybe someday they'll be good because
they're big. It's like no, no, they're not going to
be good, but yeah, this show.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
Is that pretty much wraps up Saturday night's main events
post show, much loves everybody living the chat. Much love
to the people downloading on the Patreon and on the
main feed Patreon dot com, Ford slash Wrestling Soup. We
will be back here Tuesday to see what see what happens.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
To see what they yeah, to see how they try
to course correct all of this. This is not even
a real pay per view, so I don't feel like
it's church great, it's two hours.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
It's fine. We don't have to create this. So is
anybody saying that the Dominic russev. Penta match wasn't the
best match of the night, Like, what kind of asshole
is saying any other match was better than the Icy match?
Speaker 1 (55:02):
Someone that probably has like a muscle girl fetish. Maybe
other than that, fair enough, maybe that would be it.
Maybe like a maybe a muscle girl fetish guy or
someone just like a like a kid that loves Cody
about it. I just love anything Cody would do. That
would be my guess. But yeah, no, not fantastic, folks.
So we'll see what's We'll see you see you next Tuesday. Yeah.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
