  • [00:00] Saturday Morning Wrestling & Childhood Throwbacks
    • Joe and Anthony kick things off talking about the weirdness (and secret perks) of watching wrestling at 8am. It’s like being a kid again, but with more coffee and less cereal.
  • [04:00] Perth Crowd, Ticket Prices, and “Is Perth Even a Real Place?”
    • The guys riff on WWE’s big show in Perth, the wild ticket prices, and whether anyone actually talks about Perth outside of wrestling. Spoiler: not really.
  • [10:00] RAW vs. Crown Jewel & Seth’s “Is He Hurt or Not?” Saga
    • They get into the never-ending Seth Rollins injury drama, why nobody believes anything anymore, and how WWE storylines sometimes make less sense than a fever dream.
  • [18:00] LA Knight: The Best-Looking Guy Who Can’t Catch a Break
    • LA Knight’s booking gets roasted. Is he an underdog? Is he a cocky heel? Why does he keep tripping over his own feet? The guys have thoughts (and jokes).
  • [25:00] Becky Lynch, Factions, and “What Even Is This Storyline?”
    • Becky’s name comes up, but so does the fact that half the storylines just got nuked. Expect some classic “what are they even doing?” rants.
  • [32:00] Bailey, Lyra, and the Women’s Division: Chaos & Chemistry
    • Bailey’s new vibe, Lyra’s straight-man energy, and why the women’s division is a wild ride right now. Also, a surprising amount of talk about wrestling gear.
  • [40:00] Referees, Announcers, and “Back in My Day…”
    • A trip down memory lane: when refs and announcers had actual personalities, and why today’s shows could use a little more flavor (and a little less sameness).
  • [48:00] Dominic Mysterio vs. Penta: Cheating Done Right
    • Dominic’s heel antics get a breakdown, plus a debate on whether being “too smart” is a good thing for a bad guy. Also, some love for old-school Eddie Guerrero tricks.
  • [56:00] Rhea Ripley, Asuka, and “Why Is This So Complicated?”
    • Rhea, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and a whole lot of chaos in the women’s title scene. The guys try to make sense of it all (and mostly just laugh about it).
  • [1:03:00] Bronson Reed, Jimmy & Jay Uso, and Tag Team Tangents
    • Bronson Reed’s gear, Jimmy vs. Jay, and why some tag teams just feel like reheated pizza. Expect some sidebars and a few “what are they wearing?” moments.
  • [1:10:00] Main Event: Jay Uso, LA Knight, and CM Punk
    • The crowd sings for Punk, LA Knight almost wins, and the guys wonder if we really need another Seth vs. Punk feud. Also: more jokes about fruit punch boxes.
  • [1:18:00] Wrap-Up & Randomness
    • Final thoughts, a few more rants, and a reminder to check out the Patreon. If you made it this far, you’re a real one.

Wrestling too for a mature audience.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I don't develop it. So how do you like? It
happened eight am professional wrestling.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's not bad. It's not bad. The rest of my
day was eventful. I enjoyed myself. Afterwards. I finished up
editing the show, got that up early in the afternoon,
and went out and enjoyed my Saturday.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I've you know what it felt like.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It felt like do you.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Remember when we were kids and we would get up
for Saturday Morning cartoons or even back in the day
when Saturday Morning usually in the morning. And I don't know,
maybe this was a little too young for you, but
back in the early nineties, we would get like wrestling
superstars at eleven o'clock in the morning or ten o'clock
in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Oh yeah, and yeah you get your early.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah. I mean we remember am Raw, but am Ross
sucks because it was just all the shit we saw
on Monday anyways, right, But this was like, yeah, this
was like, hey, guys, I want to watch some superstars
on Saturday morning again. I was like, at first, I was,
I was cranky. I was so cranky during our post
show and then like in hindsight, I'm like, what am

(01:18):
I bitching about? I got the whole day ahead of me.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah. It's kind of sick, honestly. It kind of rules.
Like the show ended, I what did I do? I
think I just went right to the gym afterwards. I
was like, oh sick, and then I just fucking went
out afterwards. I'm like, yeah, this is pretty great, and
I'm like, sitting around it, I'm going, oh, it's got
to be like no, it's two thirty in the afternoon.

(01:41):
I'm like, this is fucking awesome, right, Oh wait, no, no, no,
I went to the car. Shit, that's what I did.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah mid night. I mean
twelve normally is midnight for you, but not this Saturday, right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I went and I got my Yeah, I went and
I got my car, and then I ate something and
then I was done with that, and I was like,
oh my god. I still it was like two. It
was like two o'clock at that point.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm like, this is fucking great, right, right.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I fell hit me up at some point and he
was like, ah, He's like, are you around today, and
I'm like, oh, now, dude, we already did our wrestling
Brunt Show. It was fucking great, right, It's solid, dude.
But yeah, I don't know. I'm not upset about it.
I don't think it sucks. And honestly, like getting the
raw early yesterday and having the day off, I was like,

(02:29):
I'm gonna watch a little bit and then i'll watch
a little bit later. And then I watched a little
bit this morning, and I was like, all done, right,
my raw.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Everything was fine.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I had I had my vegetables, I had my you know, dessert.
It was good, not a problem. But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Everything was wonderfully copasthetic. I really, like I said, it
felt like in hindsight, we were getting up to watch
Saturday Morning shit. Yes, and it was such a row
back that I didn't even realize the vibe until after
the day was already done. I felt like I had
a complete day, right because afterwards, you obviously you went

(03:11):
out and did your car still fucking went home and
did whatever you had to do. It was like all
of a sudden you had time. It wasn't oh, I
got a race to go to sleep to get up
the next morning. Although to be fair to w W,
they'd be doing the Saturday shtick for a while now,
so yeah, I might even have to change my grade.
In hindsight, it gets.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Moved up just for a convenience. Yeah, you know what
I mean. It's like I got I'm sitting on the
middle aisle on the plane, but I got a great
fucking you know. I got in early. I made a
day out of that, Like I didn't waste the day
in the airport. I got there. It was like eleven, like,
this is great, all.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Right, I'm gonna have to check in your bags. You
just fucking went on the flight. Its awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, Like you don't want to be a baby about it.
Be like it was a little it's like no, no, no,
worked out good man.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Like they didn't even call you by groups. They're just like,
go on in, Joe. It's like, oh all right.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
And I was like, what do you got there? And
they're like Stephanie Vecore's ass. I'm like, why, thank you?
Oh take it sounds nice to me. And then and
then Yesterday's honestly, the raw as a whole, it was
not bad either. It was Honestly, I'm getting a little
frustrated at this point. I'm like, why are you guys

(04:30):
fucking like, you go to the middle of fucking wherever
in the world, and it's better than a lot of
the shows that they're putting on in the States at
this point.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Because they got to impress those international audiences. They got
to dude, they made such a big deal about Perth.
For the most part, as far as wrestling fans go,
we don't really talk about Perth, right, doesn't really roll
off the tongue in our conversations. But I mean, WWE
was making a big deal of it. They gave him
the big what was it like a minute and a

(04:59):
half of them talking about we got forty one thousand
people over the last three a's Perth, give yourself a congratulations.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I was like, oh, and by the way, yeah, And
by the way, I don't know what the population is
like in Australia. I'm not going to feign to pretend
that I know. But is it even like a super
populated city. I mean, I have no idea. I could
be a fucking idiot and it could be like ten
times a side as of Boston, but I don't know. Like,

(05:27):
just for them to even pull in a decent amount
of people like that, I'm like, well, that is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I think it's not necessarily the amount of people that
live in Perth. It's the amount of people that would
pay those WWE prices to go to a random show.
Yeah that's true, three times, three times, you know what
I mean, Like, I think that's the bigger deal. It's
not so much because they can build on that community,

(05:53):
right if they start making Perth a regular thing, maybe
even a yearly thing, an annual thing, you can start
building up the audience through repeat exposure. But the fact
that they can just go out there take up a
weekend and people are like, yeah, eight hundred dollars a ticket,
I'm down. Yeah, sure, yeah, that's not a big deal.

(06:15):
But there's also I know, and then three yeah that's
a good point too.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh my god. Yeah yeah, SmackDown and run. But I guess,
and this is to in no way, shape or form
excuse any of this pricing whatsoever, because it's a fucking nightmare.
But in that situation, I guess if you're like a
humongous fan of something, and then they should saying like, dude,
I'm sure that the SmackDown ticket was probably considerably cheaper

(06:42):
than the pay per view, right, Like it would have
to be.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I assume, but I don't know. I didn't check the
prices of SmackDown or Raw. And the only one that
we were called out about, or not even called out,
but you know, informed about, was the Crown Jewel down
in Perth. And how crazy some of those ticket So
I can only assume that the apple doesn't fall too
far from the tree.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
They're not going for forty dollars, we know that, right,
But yeah, I mean there's but there's a huge difference
between somebody charging you two hundred dollars to go to
a show with fucking eight hundred dollars, you know.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I mean, if we're talking about the quality of show,
I thought Raw was almost better, was almost better than
Crown Jewel. Personally, I especially liked the last two minutes
of the show, which was my absolute favorite. And even
though story wise canonically it makes zero sense zero, it

(07:41):
fed something in me that made me believe again. So
wrestling Soup, I am Anthony Thomas and he is Joseph
He numbers your excellency.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Ah, yes, well, I will say people now, thank you
too large lot. You already posted a picture up where
now sets walking around wearing the brace on his arm.
It's like, hey man, this is what you learn as
a kid. You can't fucking cry wealth. That's what happens. Now.
People are gonna sit around and go, oh, yeah, so

(08:11):
it was this bullshit again. It's just more Seth bullshit.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's bush. Do you believe?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
No? Probably not, And even if he did, if, it's like,
who gives a fuck at this point, you know, because
he played you played that game, right, So now if
he disappears for whatever a few months and you know, oh,
Seth's broke his shoulder and it actually really happened, I'm like, well, hooray,
because I'm fucking sick of seeing him now. Not hoorray.

(08:39):
I don't want the guy fucking her. I want to
be able to play with this kid and live his
life and all that. But like, well, yeah he will
just you know, and then that's it now more than likely.
Oh well this is probably bullshit, which this is where
he ended up playing this game. And dude, this is
what drives me crazy. Right, we're not even anymore playing
a game with all of this, like is he heard

(09:01):
or is he not to where you go, oh, this
is creating tension. It's like no, it's just grating. Now
it's just annoying. They say, Oh, but now with the
next pay per view, what if he wrestles thee and
Punk and then the vision comes out? You go, oh,
the vision to get in George out. They're actually just friends, Like, oh,
fucking go away.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's at the point we need to physically see protruding
bone before people are going to believe he's injured again.
We're gonna need to see like a fucking sid Vicious
off the top rope kind of mistake.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Hey, well, he played himself, that's what happens. Yeah, played
himself for the situation, you know, And that's one of
those things. And I'm not you know, mister uh you know,
l Khaima, whatever the fuck, But it's like, yeah, dude,
you did put that into the universe, assuming it is
now also real, which now if it's not and we've
done it twice, then I really don't feel bad. Whatever

(09:56):
the fuck happens to you in the ring going forward.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, you're playing at that point, and I think he is.
I think he's absolutely doing it again because of the
response that happened the first time when he when he
shed his cast and people were so pissed and this
is one of those scenarios that, hey, congratulations, you got
a lot of people once, right, a lot of people

(10:20):
fell for it once. You think you're gonna be able
to pull that off twice. Because here's where the storyline
doesn't make sense. Seth One at Crown Jewel, Joe Seth One,
Seth One at Crown Jewel, wiping away any of the
consequences of his actions. Everything that Paul Hayman said shouldn't

(10:40):
have come true, all of his shit. He became, he
became the man, he'd be beat fucking Cody Rhodes and
got his big Crown Jewel belt in Triple H's Love
and Affection. But on Monday Night, at the very closing credits,
which most people know, but if you if you turned
it off when they showed the name Paul on the screen,

(11:01):
then you would have missed bron Breaker spearing Seth Rollins
out of his boots.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yes, yes to by the way, to the surprise, Oh no,
and Hayman.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh, I can't believe poor Hayman so shocked.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
God, I I really don't give a shit about what
these guys do. And it's like, and I know the
other day, I just said like, I'm glad that Bronson's
playing this role. I like Bronson as big boss man.
I like it. I think bron Breaker is still fucking
he's green. He needs time and I know that that's

(11:39):
gonna once again get people all huffy puffy. But mark
my words on that one, because I said the same
fucking thing about Tiffany. But whatever, Uh, he needs some time.
But it works together as a dynamic with Paul Hayman
and all that. And I really thought the direction that
they were going to move in was Seth was still
kind of the guy and he's the I'm the leader,

(12:01):
but I'm also like the consultant or whatever the fuck
is the hair club for men? Right, and then Becky
started getting worked into the fold and maybe she started
managing or doing whatever for Seth and that would have
been good, but for them to just take it and
just break it apart. Now, I'm like, Okay, So assuming
this whole injury is a fucking work, which who I

(12:24):
don't even care, like I said, it's a shit anymore.
So he comes back, he's a baby face after all
that shit he just pulled and faking an injury. It's like,
what are we doing? What is that.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't know. That's why I said storyline wise, it
doesn't make any sense if he's feaning. If he's feigning
the injury, that also doesn't make sense because who are
you doing it for? Who are you doing it for?
See him punk? Yeah, I mean, I guess, but like that,
that's the problem is if it's a fake injury, who's

(12:57):
it for. If it's a real injury, you know, well
that sucks. Come uppance or whatever some kind of life
lesson being fucking fortune cookies in there. Bronson Reid and
bron Breaker kind of stepping out on their own feels
natural to me, but it also feels rushed. It feels
like this was supposed to be the natural order of

(13:19):
things that bron Breaker and Bronson Reid would eventually separate
from Seth. But the whole premise of the show leading
up to this was also a little weird, Joe, because
throughout the night, Seth kept blowing everyone oh yes.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Oh god, did they phone this in by this? Yeah,
that was a huge brook because he's sitting there and
he's just like the birth of my child, wedding my wife,
and I'm like, oh, these motherfuckers are clubbing him in
the face tonight. Come on, come on, How fucking dumb
do you have to think this audience is you know,
like the dumb point isn't there. It's just, you know,

(13:57):
it's the same thing that happens when you watch a
movie and they make the characters too happy and you go, oh,
someone's getting shot. Isn't that gonna happen? Is it? God?
Damn it is that what they're gonna do on the
TV show?

Speaker 1 (14:10):
You know, like he like the minorities are going down
the dark hallway. Hope they're safe right now.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh, he's going away to college to play football. No,
like you know what's gonna happen here.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
It's just it was really phoned. It was funny, it
was it was so blatant that it was I was
actually amused by Seth's promo only because it was so
not Seth that It's like, Jesus Christ, you guys are
laying it on cheez whiz. You're laying it on cheez
whis thick?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Right, And like you said, it makes even less sense
because it's he just won. He won, right, and truthfully,
if he if this whole thing the actual injury, think
is now we gotta play this game. If the actual
injury is real, why couldn't he still lead them? Why
couldn't he still just be the guy? Like it's just

(15:07):
you could tell that story then of Seth's hurt, but
Set's the champion. He doesn't need to relinquish the title though,
because he's only gonna be hurt for whatever three months
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
They say, Well, Pie, even if I can't fight you,
I got two guys that can alright.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
If I'm kicking out, I'm gonna can't out me me?
Oh god, christ.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Literally, you can milk that for another month or two easy.
One month is Bronson Reid and then the next month
is bron Breaker versus Sam Punk And you know what,
that might have been better because both men could have
learned something from Sea. I'm punk for Fox's sakes, you.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Know, right? Or or how about this, the eleven fucking
people currently chasing Seth, one of them does something to him,
imagine that night.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, now he's told that's that's what sucks, right, So
that's another aspect of what happened last night. They they
really were pushing the idea of La Knight is going
after Seth. He's going to kill Seth, He's finally going
to get there and then rug pole, rug, pull on

(16:18):
your ass. La Knight is back at square one again,
like nothing ever was accomplished.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
La Knight is becoming like your good looking friend who
can't get laid. Yeah, right, but it's just impositible, Like
they're just like, man, this guy's like big and jat
and good looking and like, shouldn't he be like doing
all right for himself? And he just keeps tripping on
his own balls like you're like, how's this happening? Over
and over again? Like he said, I'm going after you,

(16:46):
Seth Rowlins, I'm coming to kick your ass. And then
his own teammates beats the shit out of it and
take him on TV and he's.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Like, I mean, I would love to see his response
of just throwing the TV across the room something. I
was more pissed off than anybody in that audience last night.
It was great, it should have been great.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
But they book La Night like he's some sort of
humble underdog. Have you noticed that? That's almost the way
it is, like the way that he's like, you gotta
got me in there, Give me that opportunity, give me
that chance, I'm gonna kick your ass. Yeah, pal, you're
not gonna be able to fuck with me. But at
the same time, he's like this cocky dick and like
a leather vest with muscles, and I'm just like, what

(17:28):
are you? What is he? What are you doing with
this man? Why would you do that? Like, like I
said once again, it's like the best looking guy in
your friend group, and he's just like he can't get
he can't do anything for himself. Like why Here're you
just sitting there going why can't Brian talked to a
girl man like? And you're just like he got something

(17:50):
wrong with him, Like yeah, like no, he just can't
do it. We don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
You know, Brian was supposed to go out with this
check and they're supposed to hook up, but she got
chlamydia from washing your hair. It's awful, man.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
She canceled him on him to go back to her
boyfriend who just got out of prison.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I picked her off and now there's no day. Guys,
it's just.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, I just picked her up and I don't get
her name's Janet, just like couldn't be her name's Taylor.
She couldn't be any more of like a just a
pasty face the old paste of Roady. Sure, yeah, but no,
I don't. I don't know man, Like it's there were
so many different ways that could have gone with this,

(18:33):
and they just said, ah, whatever detailed.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
They busted all the stories, all the stories that were
going on. The potential of Becky and I see people
bringing up Becky's name in the chat, But the potential
of Becky being a part of this or even kind
of the leader of the faction kind of falls apart now.
I mean unless the suggestion from people is Becky staged
the whole thing to get her husband's ass beat Like.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
That's that's some shit Vince would have written at nineteen nine.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, like she hates her husband so much that she
hired Paul Hayman bron Breaker, and Bronson reed to take
his ass out.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
At the end of rud I'm gonna make out with
you in front of my Comato's wife.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh can we get Paul Hayman and Becky Lynch making out?

Speaker 2 (19:17):
That would be Ah, Allie, great, she's and sets in
sets in a little wheel chair.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
No, no, he's just sitting there. He's coma toos like
Linda was he just watches the whole thing. Maybe shakes
or tremors.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
He's just drooling. You need to see it occasional. He's
just making the noise of like what happens when slow
in your fucking car tire.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Becky Becky comes out like an all red lingerie or
something and pulls Paul Hayman close, and Paul Hayman falls
on Seth's lap and she just starts making out with
him on top of Seth and the wheelchair be great,
And you don't know if that's the noise from him
being upset at watching his wife make out with Paul Hayman,

(20:18):
or if it's the crushing weight of Paul Hayman on
his groin.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's fantastic, Seth Rowins, I have poisoned you with ketymine.
He just JJB Seth Rowins. For the next six to
eight months, it's just sitting in the chair and Seth

(20:41):
has been sobered up. He has come to his senses.
So the Becky storyline, shoulder is fixed.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
The Becky storyline is pretty much toast unless they go
down a really dark path with this right. The vision
storyline is pretty much toast because there was no reason
for them to turn on Seth. Seth did what he's
hear house to do, and he should have kept all
the accolades that Paul Hayman presented before him. So Paul
Hayman and the Vision have now turned on South for

(21:09):
whatever reason. The La Night storyline is completely thrown out
because he's injured. Can't defend himself if he's injured, and
so even though see him, Punk is there also going
after the title, but Seth's injured. So that's one, two, three,
four storylines completely destroyed on Monday Night Raw. And I

(21:29):
thought it was fantastic, thought it was fantastic.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well, this is the most important thing. Is is that
now Seth had something to do. That's the most important thing.
Like I don't want to fucking hear this shit from
people anymore. Where Like I saw someone left a YouTube
comment where they were like, which is my fault for
even reading, but you know, we don't get enough traction
on it to where it's like I'm not like, oh, well,

(21:53):
but not reading no this, but like someone left something
or no, maybe it was Spotify, I don't remember where.
It's like, I don't know what these guys are talking
about that Seth match got a big reaction at the
end and the pay per view, and I'm like, the
fuck it did?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
What are you talking about? It really didn't. I mean,
were they there? Maybe? If they were there, right, we've
always complained about the audio from the live audience versus
you know, the TV audience, So maybe that dude was
what they Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, but mish, what did they do fucking crank it
for everything else? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
You know what I mean, they pick and choose, like
they really tried to crank up the audio when Lyra's
segment came out on Monday. Man. And it was funny too,
because when Lyra came out, it was like, come on, everybody,
Bailey standing there, let's do the caw caw, And there
was like h caw caw, and it was mostly the audio,

(22:48):
but later on you could tell that they didn't pan
down the volume. So when Bailey's standing on the corner
and everybody is serenading the shit out of her, it
was so loud. It was so loud. It's like, Bailey,
is this not enough proof that you should go back
to who you were? That people fucking still love that

(23:10):
ten years later, they're still singing that silly ass song.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Like, well, at least honestly, God and I maybe I'm
in the minority with this. I have no idea, but
I'm enjoying angry, intense Bailey because she can pull it
off well enough that it's not bad. But it's it's
very it is very weird that it's uh, you know,
Liar's got to get her going, you know.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, what is this BDSM trigger that she's got? Now,
if you if you slap me in the face and
spit in my mouth, now, I'll kick the shit out
of people. It's like, what, well, what's it going to
be next week? If if you give me a purple
nurple and slap me on the ass hard enough, I'll
take out Rocks and Perez.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I well, you know what, I was always wondering what
would happen if we had a busty Latina Festus.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, they changed it, didn't they? Did you notice that
with Bailey?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
No, no, she's so a bussy Latina.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Oh wait, no, no, no, she's usually she used to be
booty Latina, but she's no, no that Roxanne is still
booty Latino. But but Bailey used to be booty, big,
big booty Bailey. Right, But yesterday they changed your top,
and all of a sudden she had a just I
don't know where that came from.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I think they were always there. It was just you know,
product management, as they would probably call it. You know,
they'd be like, oh no, we're going to focus on this.
You know. I don't think that that's reasonable.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
What you know, Bailey, I think we have to push
breasts this month. It is. We are in October now, and.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
We're heading towards Thanksgiving, you know.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Right, everybody's wearing pink for September and breasts. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
And dude, by the way, I mean like, come on, folks,
you can't expect to So why would you make if
you have a thing for Latin women? Monday Night Raw
is the show for you? Mean, good god. At this point,
holy fucking bananas. My god, they're sitting there and you're
just like, oh, well, onto the next segment, and here's
another incredibly attractive Latina. Okay, sure, all right, must have it.

(25:11):
Now there's two. What's going on?

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Bailey is a charismatic enough person and a strong enough
wrestler that she can make Lyra bearable.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh yeah, she's she's fighting for her fucking life to
make Viola Lyra something worth.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Oh my god, she's she's debuting her, even the promo
in the back, like everything is. Lyra is very down
the middle, right, There's nothing wrong with being the straight man,
I understand it personally, but Lyra is very much the
straight man in that relationship. And it's almost like Bailey's
trying to give her a spice of life in this
this group. Like Lyra's you know, once bitten twice, shy,

(25:51):
You've turned on me a few times, you know, like
this is just a one and done deal and we're done, right,
And Bailey's like, no, we're buddies forever, oh kid, or
you We're gonna go out there and beat their ass
and keep doing this. And it's I guess that's what
it is right now, is we kind of have that
wackiness of the Cain and Daniel Brian opposite to tract thing.

(26:12):
But at the same time, the story seems to tell
me that Lyra is still going to be a victim
of Bailey down the road, right, yeah, because.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Which is unfortunate because yeah well.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Michael Cole also provided necessary information and commentary talking to
Wade Barrett about how Bailey texts him in the middle
of the night and says, oh, you're my best friend
and I love you. You're my friend. And then the next
day she calls him a fucking idiot and a fucking
loser and a creep. So I kind of liked that information.

(26:44):
Thought that was great, and.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm sure Chris Delia saw that and said, see, yeah,
say it happens.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, dust that one off, great, yeah yeah, sorry.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Well, well no, there's all that news going on with
the because they're still going on with the Rehny new Is.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
There new Crystal LEAs shit?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah no, No, it's like, so now he's fighting with
h what's her name almost called their Whitney Webb with
the whole commings Cummings. Yes, now they're fighting again because
he's like, you, you went and did the Saudi show
and then you got mad at me because I'm fucking whatever,
and she's like that makes my feelings hurt, and I'm
just like, you fucking guys are losers. You have millions

(27:29):
of dollars and you took money for fucking no reason,
like qu quit being babies. Just own up to the
fact that that you fucking made a mistake and move
on with your life. But they can't do that. But
I mean, I guess we could say the same thing
about the continued ra push, but uh, this is fine,
like it is.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
It's just it's it's all very temporary, right, like this
few that they have going on with the Judgment Day,
totally temporary. This is a throwaway storyline because as much
as Roxanne has improved, as much as Raquela has improved,
at no point are they the main characters of this
fucking story. The main character is Bailey, and Lyra is

(28:09):
the sub character that's gonna get her ass whooped eventually
when Bailey loses her ship and goes full heel again.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Which sucks because I like Bailey as this character I
actually like at first. I mean, believe me.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Is a Joey flavor, you say, I like it.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I like it. I like the well no, I like
the idea that now she's actually you know, she's capable
of fucking throwing a punch and making it look like something. Yeah,
And I like that. I'm weird. I like it when
wrestlers look like they can do stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
We'll get to Kyrie Shan in a minute. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
The lack thereof that ability, yeah, Uh no, dude, Like
I like Bailey in this role. I think she's doing
a good job. Like I said, I wasn't wasn't big
on the uh this schizophrenic. I'm here and voice this thing.
I could have done without that, could have done without
that six weeks of like what's that? Did you hear?

(29:04):
A noise? Like, just let her go out there and
fucking do this and it works. It's fine, But I
don't know. And by the way, Raquel really has massively improved.
Oh my god, night and she's gotten a lot better night.
She's got a day.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Even her visuals, dude, even the way she responds to things.
She's no longer as robotic. Even at the very end,
there was just a moment where they flashed the camera
to her and she just had this look of disgust
on her face, like I lost to these fucking nubes.
I loved it. I'm like, look at her, she's ammoting.
She's living that character in and out of the ring, before, during,

(29:43):
and after the match. I love that. I love it
when the characters believe who they are, or when the
talent believes who the characters are. It makes it easy
for us at home to watch their characters and believe
them too.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I kind of like, I'm just gonna change casual wording
of this just a little bit. I kind of like
that as Kevin Nashby and the Big Girl whisper. I
like that he just comes in. He's just like, quit hitting.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Like a little tiny girl.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
They're like, oh, that's a good idea, got it out,
stop it. And it's just this giant, seven foot tall,
fucking sixty seven year old man, like.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
You think his advice dries up now that his checks are.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh, maybe maybe that's it. He's just gonna he's gonna
be like cow yeah, fuck him. The cheap skate motherfucker's
She's like, go do something else. Could be a body
guy or something.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, they're not gonna give you money in fucking thirty
years anyways. But yeah, I don't know, dude. That was
That was perfectly fine. I actually think that that's a
good team. I think both are. Actually they're doing a
better job than I was expecting both to do. Let's
put it that way.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
They're also doing what they're supposed to be doing on
on the shows. Like you have so many other talents,
like a jade Cargill that isn't improving. You've got, you know,
sad examples of like Tiffany Stratton, who's leading the brand,
who's digressing. Here you have Raquel and Roxanne who are
not really a newer tag, well they're a newer tag together,

(31:18):
but they're growing, i want to say, more competent in
the ring. They're flowing a lot better where Kell's a
lot more comfortable in her skin. Roxanne's always been good,
it's just her size has always been the issue. But
it's like, yeah, she also performs moves for her size, right,
So there's like regular dropkicks and then there's like midget dropkicks,
and that's what Roxanne does really well. So yeah, exactly,

(31:43):
that's set that sets on the pills noise. I enjoyed
it though. I thought it was a good match. It's
a good outcome for what it is. They're desperately trying
to get Lyra some sympathy, get her over, and that's
not going to happen until Bailey loses her nails Lyra
to a cross and then lights it on fire. But
we also had speaking of fire, we had a dominic

(32:07):
mysterio versus Penta, which it started off beforehand with Russev
kind of getting in Penta's face telling them, Hey, don't
think for a second I forgot about you kicking me,
you piece as shit. I'm gonna remember that. Let me
give you a little bit of advice. What was it like,
run run and don't stop running, something like that, Just

(32:30):
a little piece of advice. Just disappear, and Penta called
him a pentejo and they fucking moved on and they
had the match with Dominic and Penta. Dominic looking good
as the asshole champion that he is coming out. Man,
he was sauntering, sauntering to the ring with both of
those titles. He was like, oh, look, both the titles

(32:53):
with the jacket open, both the titles with the jacket cloth,
one flap open on the jacket, both titles close that flap.
Now I'm gonna fucking put my arms out like a
Maddi Guerrero. Like he is absolutely hilarious, and that crowd
fucking loves Dominic. So the point that, yeah, Penta was

(33:13):
almost the heel in this match. And I gotta ask
you because the first thing I was thinking, right, we've
had this before, but it always seems to only surround
dominic mysterio. How difficult, how difficult is it for Dominic
and Penta to play off of the drama of being
the heel and face when the audience completely switches or

(33:34):
dictates that the heel is now the face in these matches.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Well, it's even harder too. And one guy's uh, you know,
he's wearing the mask and he's fully in that. And also,
I mean, what are you gonna do? Tell pentamid match
just starts stomping out dom right, it does. It just
puts them in a weird spot. I don't know what
they're gonna do. But Dominic going forward, because unless he's

(34:00):
got the most white meat over babyface to go against,
he's gonna get these reactions because his matches now, they're
they're creative. He's doing something different than everybody else on
the show. So that's gonna get a reaction one way
or the other.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
He really is Eddie guerreroing it, dude. The use of
the hammer, right, So the finish of the match, I mean,
just to fast forward a little bit, was he got
the fucking hammer from the bell guy, right from the
from the ring bell guy, and he steals it and
he comes into the ring with the title, throws the
title in the middle of the ring. The Reft's like,

(34:39):
why the fuck is there a title in the middle
of the ring. Get that shit out of here, goes
over to pick pick it up and you know, deliver
it back over to Alicia Tyatt Taylor or whatever the
fuck and uh Dominic wax Penta with the fucking hammer
and then puts it in his boot and then does
the what was it the six one nine, the fucking

(35:00):
thing with the hammer in the boot and then he
does the frog splash to finish it off. It was
a beautiful chain of events that was one real finish.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
He's this is okay, this is where I have to
be critical, and this is where, like, you know, I
don't know. I'm assuming somebody smarter than me has an
idea of where they're going with this, because I would
only hope. But you're making the heel too smart. He's
too smart, Like he's thinking this out too much, you know,

(35:32):
like the way that a heel would cheat at points, right,
Like it's when it's a tag team or it's a manager.
You're thinking about like three guys being sneaky, right then
you start diffusing all of that evil and you know, oh,
well this guy's fucking up. Oh, this guy's fucking up. Well,
this guy's gonna carry his ass. He's gonna come in,
he's gonna save today. He's gonna do something sneaky. He's

(35:53):
gonna do something cheating, you know, like it's the old Like, Okay,
the guy pulls the ropes. Does that take a genius
to do? No, of course not, No, it's just any
guy like, oh you fucking sneaky. Shit, Oh he pulled
the tights. Does that take a genius to do?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
No, not really, you know, like, oh, what happened? But
behind the ref's back, he kicks a guy in the nuts,
all right, you know that doesn't take a genius to do.
But when you're starting to make like complex cheating finishes
that the heels doing weekly and the people are openly
applauding it.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
I'm like, um, but Eddie Guerrero did, and how you.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Turned Eddie Guerrero into a baby thing.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Rick Martel did that with his fucking arrogance and shit,
Bobby Heenan was doing horrendous shit. But mister perfect, like
all of these guys were so wonderfully underhanded more than
just you know, moving out of the way or grabbing tights. Right,
mister perfect would like regularly just kick the rope and

(36:53):
then end up in his corner right away. And I
always love that because, like what I wasn't even over there?
What do you what do you talking about it? It
was just it was like the preface of it. Instead
of us looking at it like we should bring Dominic
back down to stupid levels, why can't we bring everybody
else back up?

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Well, that's the problem is it's a you know, it's
a low expectation. So that's what I'm saying, like we shouldn't.
It's a fucking shame. No, you're right, I believe me.
I I'm not coming from the place of like, let's
make this dumber. Uh, It's just we're working with the
circumstances of what we've shown on TV and what people

(37:35):
are apparently capable of, and the way that we booked
the show. So if we're gonna still book the finishes
in a way and we're going to book the show
in a way that is like WW for the past
fifteen years, we're not gonna we're not gonna throw it
back too much, then the guy that's doing the ship
that has been over or was over.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Two. He got caught though, too, Dominic was caught by Tram.
You're god right, so.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
It's my boy's drying Tram.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yes, correct, It's not like he's too smart for the
room because he does get caught. Maybe maybe it's referee dependent.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure how you play that out.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
But Cli also, yeah, you run this day, like you
said there, you run this danger where it's like, oh,
there's the dumb ref, there's the smart ref because people
like us, like there's always this assumption that everyone's a
fucking dumb ass that washes these shows and doesn't remember
anything week to week. And then there's also like you're
doing that, you're making your baby, like we were just

(38:36):
talking about La Night looking fucking invalid. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
people put this together. When you come out, you're like, yeah,
a muscle guy. Look at my dick. It's so big,
and I'm tough and strong. And then every week he's
just like completely bitched out and made it look like
an idiot and he's like, yeah, oh my dear, it's
so boog and you're like, this guy's a fucking loser.

(38:56):
Look at this loser. It's even more pathetic because he
just won't look at it and say, g gully with shucks.
I keep I keep getting fucking kicked in the balls.
He's like, yeah, look at it, look at it. Put
it in your mouth in a huge like It's like, no,
you're you look dumb, r fucking dumb.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
And I liked the idea that I, you know what,
when that was a thing, when they had, you know,
little nature, Charles Robinson and Nick Patrick and Tim White
and even the Hebners, and they all had personalities once
upon a time they did. They all had different type.
Earl Hebner was the no nonsense ref You didn't fuck
with Earl and if you were triple h sometimes you

(39:38):
got slapped in the face, right like Earl Habner put
his balls on the line a lot. Jimmy corderis another one,
of course, Like they all had different types of personalities,
and you could work with that. But I think that
the referees have become so homogenized over the years that
if you do bring back the fact that a guy
like Ryan Trent is the smart reff and maybe Jessica

(40:01):
Carr is one of the dumb refs.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, maybe she looks bored as ship all the time.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Maybe it's character. Maybe we're just not seeing the meta
of Jessica Carr's referee personality.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Maybe it's not You're not Maybe they're not stupid, You're
just fucking not smart enough. That's what it is. That's
what it is, dude.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
It works run in w Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Right, if we keep telling you it's smart, maybe it'll
become it.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Right.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
No, dude, I won't okay with it though, if they
want to give referee personalities. And I agree with you
because we were talking about this on I think it
was yeah right here on Saturday morning because you were
really pissed off at Alicia for the crazy hair and
going a bud. She was going full Michael Buffer, right,
But not everybody can be Michael Buffer. But I think

(40:54):
all announcers want to be Michael Buffer. Josh what was
his name, Josh used to try that stuff too. There's
a few announcers over the years that I have tried
to stand out amongst the rest, and I think that's
what she's kind of trying to do, especially with the
vacuum that Samantha Irvin left when she when she finally
went to a music career or something. But when it

(41:15):
comes to referees. But when it comes to referees, I
think that there's no real downside of giving them a
little bit of a you know, a little bit of
a talk time, a little bit of an understanding, not
not to take away from matches, but almost to add
flavor to the matches. Because when you had Earl Hebner
in a match, first off, you knew it was a
veteran referee, so you know it was an important match.

(41:38):
You know, in the same way that if you see
little nature out there, now you know it's a fucking
important match. But not only did you know it was
an important match, but you knew Earl Hebner was not
going to fuck around with his counts. Now you had
the flip side of a guy like Nick Patrick, who
once upon a time worked for the Invasion, was part
of w cw Evil and sometimes he would favor the

(41:58):
heels over the bay. And I was like, it was
these little personality quirks that change the definition of a match,
not not dramatically, but subtly, because you knew that in
a Nick Patrick match he might get away with a
kick to the crotch he might get away with, you know,
all the turnbuckle padding fell off, you know, like there

(42:20):
was just little things that you knew you could get
away with, and I missed that. Once again, the complexities
of storytelling that wrestling had, once upon a time built
have been paved over by this generic, fucking ignorant asphalt
because it's either too smart for all the kids in
the room, or we're not teaching the audience that this

(42:42):
is how smart wrestling can be.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Or that it just any of these people that are
on these shows can be important if you find a
way to do it without it being ham fisted, you
know what I mean, Like, there is a way to
do that. And I was saying it the other night too, uh,
you know for the other night. What am I talking
about the other early afternoon that how much Becky would

(43:07):
have benefited from being out there for that Seth match,
just due to the fact that they've seen everything already
happen on the show, aside from a story where it's like,
here's the guy and his wife and she's got a
gimmick for that Seth's trying to use to fucking clober
them and win the match. So you can get the ring.
By the way, can anybody explain to me because this
was for the ring and the belt, right, wasn't that

(43:29):
the whole the combo? Yeah? Like fucking captain planners?

Speaker 1 (43:35):
How fire yes, hot?

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, imagine there was a kid that could shoot fucking
fire from his arm.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
It was like the little Imagine there was a kid
that could shoot hearts from his arm. That'd be great.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
That was like so one dude was like there was
a Russian girl. She's like, I can control the ocean.
And the other kid was like, I could shoot fire
from my hand. And then it was like the little
kid with the olcott who was from Brazil, and he's like,
I'm empathetic towards squirrels, Like wow, what a fucking ripoff, dude,
you got fucked. How these other people are like they're

(44:10):
like launching things into the sky.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Well, that's what I'm saying. I was just hoping he
could just shoot hearts out of his finger, like human hearts,
maybe animal hearts, just random bloody briggins just flying out
of his finger'd be great.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
That's gross.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
You know.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
He hit me a fucking full ass heart. Man, He's
would you rather be have squirrels attack you. That is
the other choice, I know. But like the show, desperate
desperately needs managers and yes, the ring? Right? How oh
how was there not a incredibly easy connection to be

(44:50):
made here with Seth having a watch and the match
is for a ring?

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:59):
How is that not brought up once? Hey, Cody, you
gave me this watch. Do you know what would go
real nice with it? Yet?

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Ring?

Speaker 2 (45:11):
And I'm gonna find and you're you know what, You're
not going to see it coming. But I'm gonna use
that watch you gave me. Maybe you get the ring
to go with it.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Maybe it was a fashion storyline, Joe, And upon further review,
they realized that, no, the ring and the watch don't
really go together. They kind of clash.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, that's a good point. Seth was usually addressed so classically,
and that's so well. He would never that doesn't go
with my Missy Elliot soup.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Fuck, that doesn't look good with my garner belts.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
This doesn't match my Matthew LESCo fucking outfit that I
got from nineteen ninety nine of eBay fucking christ. Uh, Yeah,
where are we going to do?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
While we were just talking about the importance of the
referee decision and the fact that Dominic was such a
smart heel in the way that he did the finish
on Pena. Now, I saw it in the chat room earlier.
They were saying, oh, you guys are splitting hairs about
the Penta thing, And I kind of agree in a
small way, right. I don't think this necessarily paints Penta
as stupid. I think it does more of a job

(46:22):
of saying that Dominic is this clever, and maybe Pento smart,
and maybe Penta isn't used to somebody being as underhanded
as a guy like Dominic, which that's Dominic's entire character
is he is an underhand. He's proud to call himself dirty.
Dominic like, he's very aware in character of what he's
supposed to be. So Penta not being used to a

(46:45):
person like that. I'm sure he's faced plenty of heels
in his day and done some heelish things himself. But
maybe Dominic is a different level, even at his age.
Maybe Dominic is just a completely different level for Penta,
and Penta is going to have to come back and
fight Dominic in a different game. Like that's the story
you tell.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
And this is why you need an andraate in your
locker room still, because he'd be like.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Well, if you can find him.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
It made me send you a text. He sends you
a voice says, Banda.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
He's too fucking smart. You are stupid, though, you are
too fucking stupid. I mean, he gus I was smart.
He got the fucking throat tattoo, and he's smarter than you,
you fucking agiot.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
By the way, the throat tattoo. I can't wait for
Sea Impunk to look at him and be like, did
you get a throat tattoo so you didn't have to
lift weights? I hope he says that too him. That
would be trying to make your neck look bigger, pale
like something like that. I would I would love that.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
I'm actually waiting for the confirmation right now. But I
heard that Andrade is formally joining up with Del Rio's
new squad.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
So the great thing about that is you don't even
need to explain. I can just fill in the blanks
in my mind. You know, like you, we're just like
I heard he's joining up with del Rio. You're just like, oh,
I know where that's going now. He's no showing a

(48:14):
w that's that's hilarious. That's you fucking asked for it,
your dumb fuck.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
How much you want to bet that Tony gave him alone?

Speaker 2 (48:26):
How much?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
How much you want to bet Tony gave him a
little little extra on the side. He said, thank you, boss,
I for sure be here Wednesday at.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Least I need to borrow exactly three kilos words of money,
and Tony's.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Like, oh yeah, let me write that down for you
real fucking idiots. Oh good God almighty. No. But like
they're gonna dom. They're not even feigning or they're not
even like trying to hide the fact that he's just
a fucking baby face at this point, right, little bit
of York heel activities. You know what, what are you
gonna do?

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I don't know, man, But yeah, it was going pretty well.
What else do we have on the car? The rear
Ripley and Kyrie's saying match, which started off with Osca
basically Kyrie's in the back going, oh, I'm so sorry,
I fuck up. I always fuck up, and Osca's like,

(49:25):
you stupid bitch and then slaps her.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
She just beats the shit out of her. By the way, and.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Look, let's be honest, that is probably the most therapeutic
thing that happened in this night. And there were a
lot of moments where there was a lot of stress
being relieved on Monday Night Raw, but specifically watching Osca
just handle the Kyrie nonsense. Kyrie's crying act is I
guess it's supposed to be appealing to people. There's gearing. Yeah,

(49:54):
oh it's frustrating. It's not even frustrating, it's just maddening.
It's like, yeah, you should, you should feel bad. You suck,
you suck, you lost the match, you lost EO Scott,
you can't do anything right. Matter of fact, Oscar would
have been done with this whole nonsense if you weren't
fucking around like everything bad is Kyrie's fault.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
By the way, I love the idea just being like
this is the sympathetic character and you're like absolutely not.
Oh no, not a chance, She's not.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
I mean, don't be wrong. I will be fair in
saying that Oscar. Oscar seems a little stressed out. She
might be a little lu you might need some time off,
like she's a little wound up. And I understand you
know that that makes sense, but.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
You don't know how they act when they're alone, you
know what I mean. But maybe it's a healthy relationship.
That's but by the way, like at the risk of
of being you know, being called very evil and meat
and prejudice for saying this, but like you can't. Is
this what we people watch?

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Is this is this ship where the girl is sitting
here in like you know, pardon the voice, but it
is what the fuck it?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Like you're watching it, You're like, yeah, this is this
is my shit.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
I have been watching a show, an old anime. True, no, no, no, no no,
I've been watching an old anime from I think the
early eighties called ramen Man, and ramen Man is a
Bruce Lee esque superhero that goes around different parts of
China and he in like the ancient times, like you know,

(51:36):
the village days where everything was very futile, and he
goes to different villages and he saves them from their
bad guy and does right by his dojo, et cetera,
et cetera. Well, there are times when he has to
save a woman and there was one scene actually there's
multiple scenes, but one that I specifically remember where the

(51:58):
woman wanted to go back and save her family. And
her friends, and he couldn't get her to just keep
going because they were trying to escape from the evil Layer.
So the only way that the Japanese, or I dare
say the Chinese know how to keep their women quiet
is by punching them repeatedly in the stomach until they
pass out. And this happens multiple times in this show.

(52:25):
Anytime a woman is acting irrational, punch them in the
stomach and makes it all go away, and she wakes
up later and she's like, oh, I'm very sorry. Oh
I'm very sorry. I got a little lippy. I'm very
sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
That's and by the way, I think that was the
original plot for Breaking Bad.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, quick punch in the stomach. Yeah yeah,
there go. There's another one from Chocolate, you know, just
handling business. There's two smaller high school students that are
disagreeing with the coach, so the coach is natural response.
It's not to discuss things with them and come to
terms or understanding. It's to slap one and then backhand

(53:08):
the other one until they both fall down unconscious.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Well, I mean, I don't know what kind of media
these people are watching. We watch respectable things like people
fall on thumbtacks and black by around broken glass. Well
they watch that too, ah shucks. Ah.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
The difference is these are intended for children. Oh oh,
not just children. The Roman Man show was made for
little children. It was one of those those g I
Joe he Man and the Masters of the Universe where
at the end of the episode they wrap everything up
and give you a little speech, this is how you
become a better human being. You punch them, lady, by

(53:55):
the way.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I love the idea that there's probably people that would
hear that in a Maerica. Could they be like, no,
for this, mister Rogers bullsh punch everyone in the stomach.
There's yeah, they should just do that. That would help.
It's just like you matter and your thoughts are important,
and you know sometimes we need to talk about is

(54:16):
just ship? What hate? This ship's fucking lame? And the
Chinese people like, see, we told you, why don't you
just do this, by the way, why don't you just
get a big bulls of fucking noodles to punch people.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
To America's like, that's him right there.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Oh, it's a guy. It's an actual guy. It's way
better if he's just a giant bull suit. By the way,
that's his that's his real head. What the fuck?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Well this his animated Well, he's doing a special move.
That's why time is slowing down in that image. He's
channeling his inner cheek.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
I'm looking at him and I'm trying to get some
sort of still of him, but he's moving so yes, gracefully.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
So anyways, I was saying, Kyrie is a huge bitch,
and I'm glad that Oscar put her in her place.
So we had a match that Osca's set up clearly
with the Pierce. We just didn't get to see that exchange,
which I'm sure was fun because Pierce does not like
dealing with Osca. He shies away from her because she
starts yelling at him every time. I love it. I

(55:25):
love their interactions. I was a little upset personally that
I didn't get to see Osca telling Pierce to make
a match between Kyrie and Rhea, but the match itself
was fine with you know, only two slight exceptions. Kyrie
is either her problem is is she's trying to be
super safe and in doing so makes everything look like shit,

(55:47):
or she just doesn't know how to wrestle. I don't
know which one it is. I'm willing to believe it's
either or. But there are times like even outside of
the ring, when she was trying to hit Ria Ripley
and she could barely land a paunch and Rhea's over
here trying to sell it. Look and by the way,
can I say something about Rhea Ripley? When did she
add stone cold in front of her name? Because I

(56:10):
swear to God, the ovation that woman got walking down
to the ring was reminiscent of nineteen ninety eight attitude era. Shit.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Well, this is also a reminder of for her, especially
you know, overseas in her hometown. It's even more confusing
that they sent her out after that scene in aj Styles,
because I get it, like in their mind they were like,
she'll bring them back. But it's also like, guys, it's
fine for her to be, you know, one of the

(56:40):
biggest stars on the show, but then the main event
is John Cena. Like it feels crazy, you know, having
the million conversations we've had about Jon Zena in our lives,
that I have to lobby to make him the main event.
Like I it feels.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
It goes back to a conversation me and you and
I think even John, all three of us had this
conversation a long time ago about how w W doesn't
respect retirements. They really don't, and the fact that they've
given John Cena this much is a complete one to
eighty from even what they did with Kurt Angle and
Baron Corbin, and it's it's it's a weird vibe. But

(57:24):
I think that you guys were absolutely right. And I'm
paraphrasing it, like obviously our conversation back in the day
was much longer and more more in depth. But yeah,
w W doesn't feel like they really respect retirements as much.
I mean, who Undertaker? Okay, great, that's one that they
did really good with. You know.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
It's also the Undertaker that he wrestled too bad dam
long too. That's like some of these people they just
they obviously outstayed. They're welcome such as the such as
the wrestling world as a whole, you know, like that
how that goes, it's a hey, man, I think it's
time for you to hang it up now. I think
it's time for me to wrestle for three more years

(58:05):
and actively humiliate myself every time. All right, that's good.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
That's a thing too right, and Dirty Bird brings it up.
Why would they respect retirements when wrestlers come back six
months later. Well, in w w E, they only come
back because Vince makes them come back, you know what
I mean. Vince made Sean come back, Vince made Undertaker
come back. These are these are not their fault. I
mean the money is their fault. I guess they could

(58:29):
have said no, but.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
You're you're in.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
I mean even fucking Stone Cold came back for a match.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
It's right, Yeah, I honest to God, will stand by
this is that. I think that Rick Flair fucked that
whole concept forever with him getting what he got and
then being like I'm gonna go to Key and A
and I was like, what the fuck, dude, why would
you ever do that? Like he easily you know, if

(58:56):
that had been it, like if an asteroid fell on
him when he left a building that day, that would
have been the greatest ending to any wrestler's career probably ever.
I mean, honestly, like we think about it, that's like, well, dude,
I mean truly, like, who else had a moment like
him and John Michaels That moment fucking phenomenal and then
they just they he just pried his mouth open and

(59:20):
took a shit in it. And it's like, well, there
you go, dude. That's why now everybody gets this, you know,
diet retirement, because I hate.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Bring it up, but the greatest retirement is probably one
of the saddest retirements.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Ultimate Warrior ooh heyah, I mean, I guess you could
call it. I mean him walking over him walking out
there looking like a fucking kicking time bomb, and that
he died like what fucking.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Four hours later, not even oh jeez.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
By the way, the way that he died is the
way that Hulk Hogan describes the life of Andre the Giant.
Do you ever think of that well, I mean described
past tense. Uh, he would say, you know, oh, I
slammed him brother. Then he fucking died a day later,
and it's like, now, motherfucker, he lived like another half
dozen years. Second.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Shit, It's it's a weird thing. And to to continue on,
you know, dirty Bird says Vince made Sean cash at check.
But see that's there's nuances to that, right, there's a
context to that. I'm pretty sure the retire coming back
out of retirement sewn Michael's check was way bigger, way

(01:00:32):
bigger than any other check that he received at that point.
I would assume that it would have to be the
kind of amount of money that you're like, well, if
I die in the ring, my family's taken care of,
you know what I mean, the next.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
For the next two generations, they're all set, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
I mean, of course you're gonna come out of entire retirement.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
It's just well, this is also where I mean it
goes back to once again, like all the ship with
the comedy festival, right, is that if you're fucking Randy
the Ram Robinson and they're like, hey, here's a one
hundred thousand dollars, You're like, sure, what do you need
me to do? Anything you need me to do, I'll
fucking do. But when someone has, like, you know, twenty
million dollars and they're like, yeah, but what about twenty

(01:01:16):
one million dollars, It's like, you're a fucking dumbass. I
just I agree in a fucking weasel, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
But I really do think it comes down to context.
I really do. I don't think if Sean was getting
ten thousand dollars, he was coming out of retirement.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
It was no, No, Sean doesn't even want to go
sign autographs, man, you know what I mean, like not alone.
He'll take bumps in the ring, but like, yeah, I
don't know, man, it's it's it's very strange to me
the way that some of this shit has played out and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Going on from the area Ripley and and well, I
guess EO involvement Osca and Kyrie saying it finishes off
with EO getting taken out and then Oscar after Kyrie
finally does something competent and wax real over the head
four or five times with a kendostick before registers, not
because Ria Ripley doesn't know that she's supposed to react

(01:02:09):
to a kendostick, but because Kyrie is again so safe
and so soft it takes four times before anybody realizes
you're being hit by her.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Well, she's probably honest to God, with the shit that's
gone on with her in the ring somewhat recently. I
think she's afraid, like she if she hurts Rio.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Oh boy, though, don't you get like the vibe that
Ria's like a Charlotte type where they'll take a punch
in the mouth and it'll just intensify their matches. I
don't feel like Ria Ripley gets punched in the face
for real, men just goes off to the corner and
cries or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Oh no, no, I mean just her own accidental stupidity,
not like Rio's gonna be like you and too rough
with me out you beat up, you beat me up,
Like I don't think that's I don't think we see
Rhea crying about any of this. I'm just saying, like
the way that she's such a clumsy fuck that, you know,
it's it is kind of interesting because remember back in

(01:03:09):
the day when Nya kept fucking hurting I'm laughing, I'm sorry,
but Naya kept fucking hurting Kyrie and we're like, come on, Naya,
why are you doing that? Now Kyrie keeps people, and
it's just like it just goes to show you you
can be like a fucking a gluttonous wail and injured
people and also be like the tiniest little pea nut

(01:03:31):
if you're just if you're just a sloppy fuck, you know.
But yeah, I don't know they're moving along with this thing.
I think Riha needs to move on to greener pastures
because I just I'm not invested or anything.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
But I think it's going to come down to Oscar
and Ria. Now. I'm fine with that. I told you
on Saturday, I really kind of wanted this to continue.
I didn't want it to end there. I was actually again,
I was very happy for this. Give me Ria and Oscar,
give it to me. Get rid of the EO stuff,
get rid of the Kyrie stuff. They don't fucking matter
in this storyline. The real story is between Oscar and

(01:04:06):
Real Ripley. That's what I want to see, That's what
I'll pay for. So we're finally getting there. We're getting
rid of the tag team stuff. EO's a cheerleader for
Real Ripley now, which is fine. Kyrie's whatever a mess,
an emotional fucking mess. And we've got Osca and her
weird jealousy and anger issues versus Real Ripley, who also

(01:04:28):
has anger issues. But I'm looking forward to it, so
I think it'll be fun to watch. We also had
Bronson Reid versus Jimmy USO. Bronson with a lot of
swagger coming out there and his one man gear, his
one man gang gear, and ah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
And Jimmy coming out looking like a roller Reynolds rap.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Oh my god. I was so happy that Bronson Reid
didn't come out there with that tribal thief shirt. I
am so done with that. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
That's so corny. Thanks you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
And I know he was wearing it earlier because, like
I said, he's got new merch. He's got to sell
that shit. Totally get it. But when it came down
onto the match for him versus Jim, I was very
happy that he was in full Union suit. It looked great,
like he looks good in that, he looks like a monster.
The match was fun. He carried himself very well. Jim
does a good job obviously. Towards the end, we had

(01:05:15):
the Bronson weed Bronson weed hot, Bronson reed.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
Maybe weeding wish Bron like, yeah, fucking I lost the shoes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Yeah, a little tami, a little tsunami off the top
rope to finish Jim off. Then we had Bron Breaker
come down to give his boy congratulations, and then they
went to go take the piss out of Big Jim
out of but they still have him on the Titan
Tron and that's what I'm gonna call it. As Little
Jimmy USO. So I don't know when they're gonna switch
over to Big Jim or Jim usso. But he's little

(01:05:49):
Jimmy USSO still on the screen, So I don't know
what the fuck's up with.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
I really feel bad at this point because I'm starting
to see all of the Christian attributes and you know,
it said this a while ago, but where I'm looking
at it, I'm just going, yeah, I think Jimmy is
truly much better. Shit yet this point, it's just like
I said, Jimmy his gear, It's like, why is he
dressing like this? Looks fucking awful? Right, And then the

(01:06:16):
way that it's just like, obviously he is being treated
as generic as it's as like the fucking Jenetti in
the situation. Yea, and it's probably not the way to go,
but I don't know what to say. These are both
forty something year old men at this point, you know, well,
when he should be getting there's this big push or whatever.
I'm like, no, pretty much, whatever these guys are gonna be,

(01:06:37):
they're gonna be. At this point. You can't keep keep
faking the funk. It's it is, what the fuck it is?

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
You know? Well, yeah, so Bronson Reid wins the match
and they come in there, they clean out Jimmy's clock.
Jay comes down to the ring, and this was after
they had the little back and forth promo where Jim
gets all pissed off at jay Uso because jay Uso
is going to talk about taking care of ourselves and
you go do your thing, and Jim beats him to
the punch and says, you know what, I'll handle my shit.

(01:07:03):
You handled yours. But in this scenario, Jim's getting his
ass kicked. So Jay was forced to come down to
the ring, to which Bronson and bra Brock. Yeah, Jesus
Christ brought.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Too many be too many Bee name people at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
The Triple be yes. But Bronson, Reid and bron Lesner
beat the shit out of jay Uso a little bit
damage him up for his main event match, which he
has later on in the evening. But yeah, I don't
know the storyline here. Obviously, it was to push, you know,
the closeness of bron Breaker and Bronson Reid obviously as

(01:07:36):
a unified tag team, to which how we finished this show.
We talked about that earlier, but it's also to drive
the wedge in between Jimmy and Jay usso, and I
still don't know where I vibe with this. I don't
know what do you think about this whole Jimmy and
Jay split up, that they just got back together and
they're already kind of oh, we're brothers, but we have

(01:07:57):
to be You don't choose your family, and I don't
want to be out here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
It's getting to be reheated pizza. Man, it's getting to
that point, you know, where it's a yes, but how
will Jay here? Jay's trying to be a top guy.
He's trying to learn. He's starting to heck like Roman though,
and then even like Jimmy doing his spiel, being like, man,
Roman's being a bitch, and like Jimmy's like, oh you look,

(01:08:21):
I'm like, yeah, well, is that what we're gonna go with?
Is it? Jimmy's being like wow, that was kind of shitty.
Roman and Chase like I'm secretly evil. It's like, but
we just spent six months more a year making you
to the guy that's on the fucking minute made fruit
punch box, so we're just gonna turn him heal them,

(01:08:43):
Like geez fude, what are we doing? I don't know
where they're going with it, but like, yeah, like I said,
it feels like reheated pizza at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
And speaking of reheated pizza, we had the main events
of Jay Usso, La Knight, and CM Punk. I mean, look,
it was fun to watch the crowd sing the rest
of CM Punk's song. That doesn't normally happen for old Punky,
but yeah, he was he enjoyed that flipped the yeat.

(01:09:14):
I thought that was funny, got a couple of laughs
out of that, and we had a decent match between
the three. La Knight could have won this, it would
have mattered more, but considering what we know what happened
was Seth we know where that ended up. Cempunk ended
up winning, getting the pin over on Jay Usso, and
this was another one of those cases. I was wondering

(01:09:35):
if Jim was gonna come down there to save Jay,
but that didn't happen. So now we're left with the
question mark storyline of CM Punk versus Seth Rollins and
La Knight and Jay Usso go off into the distance.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Yeah, something fresh like Seth Rollins versus Seeing Punk again. Yes,
we already Honest to god, obviously, I love seeing Punk
in the main event. I think Punk and fucking Drag
a pretty good match out of anybody still even at
this point in his career. But we've already done We've
done the blood, We've done the cage, We've done the
Survivor series, We've done the hell in the Seal. If

(01:10:12):
I remember correctly, right, didn't that already happen? We did
bring it in your fucking wives, Like, Okay, enough enough,
Like it's time for us to either like if this
injury is legit and they take the fucking bel off
Seth which gasp, imagine such a thing, uh not the
immortal Seth rawlins and all of his giganticism strength and might,

(01:10:35):
But like, for the love of fucking God, move these
guys away from each other. And also let's get Punk
work and some people that can learn something from him,
you know, like that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Like Bronson and bron Breaker would have done really well what.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
Happens I mean now, I was saying that back when
I was, you know, saying that if they had house shows,
you could have had a hell of a thing going
where you had see him Punk and you know, he's
ain even against the Bronsons, and he'd have been able
to move him along. But the lack of house shows
and shit like it doesn't help that these guys aren't
getting reps. But yeah, I don't know, are you excited

(01:11:15):
for a seth rollin CM puck match that apparently might
not happen because he could be injured but he's fake injured.
But maybe he's real injured, not fake injured.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
If this is a fake injury, this sucks if it's
a real If it's a real injury, and the idea
was to move this along, like maybe he had a
nagging injury, I'm not sure. But if the idea was
to move along bron Breaker and Bronson Reid and Paul
Hayman into a different direction, I am a thousand percent
behind that. The fact that La Knight got fucked over,

(01:11:47):
it's not good, but it's so miserable for La Knight
constantly getting the rug pulled on him that it's funny.
It's almost funny. At this point. He's like the twenty
twenty five, twenty twenty five version of like a Mikey whiprack,
almost right.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
He just he doesn't even get he doesn't even get
dove singular treatment, right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Right exactly, So I mean and and see him punk
going up against Seth who cares. But I thought the
rest of the show is solid. I thought everything else
about this show is fantastic. The Seth thing is just
comical when you step back and look at everything that
happened involving Seth and his wife was nowhere to be seen,
by the way, not what Becky segment?

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
Right, and by the way, like with that said, I
mean so he gets completely Yeah, where where's Becky this
whole time? So next week is Becky gonna come out
and then try to do like a sympathetic my husband's
my hot husband got beat up by his friends.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
What do you do with that?

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
It's such a dead end.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
You have makeout with Paul Hayman. That's what you do.
You have her and Paul Hayman get hot and heavy
on the screen to close out the show. What kind
of trooper are you? Are? You make out with Paul
Hayman and a little retrou kind of trooper are you gonna?

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Why does she?

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
What if it's a breaker? What if she's what if
she's now?

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Because she would enjoy that? You don't want to do that? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
I want to make it his work.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
People.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
Yeah, I'm gonna make out in front of my wife. Yeah, yeah,
she's a corpse. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
I mean, at least if you went the category he
went the route of having it be a Bronson, bron Breaker, Jingleheimerschmidt,
you can at least and going I'm a man, but
I'm also a cougar, right right, Yeah, see there you go.
You know, I'll tell you much if she got oh wow,
she took in him like, he's just like, yeah, yeah,

(01:13:54):
I got myself an older, you know, beautiful woman. Like.
At least that's something I guess. I don't know. It's
better than fucking another aimless sets thing where he comes
out in a Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
How many storylines. How many storylines have we had about infidelity?
Oh boy, how many stories about infidelity have we had
in w W that involved multiple people in the company
at the same time?

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Several? Well, well, for a second, when you said infidelity,
I was like Infidel's member Saudi Arabia, Dude, I can't
get the man.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
So it's okay, Yeah, I mean, what's the last one
that I'm trying to really remember and I'm not trying
to include NXT, right, So I'm not including xt, but
as far as w W goes, what was the last
relationship where a chick was cheating on her man or
a man was cheating on his chick.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Going back to was that the Lacey Evans thing? Or No,
that wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
There wasn't lay, It wasn't with anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
She's face remember she was she was knocked up by ro.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
The last wee Lana un lashly.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, thank god, that's going back. Yeah, that's
going back a long time. And that was done purposely
to fuck with russav.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Yeah, that felt awkward through and through because there was
no storyline there. That was just to watch from the
horror of your your couch. They didn't explain it at all.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
You know, it went, It went absolutely fucking nowhere. But yeah,
I don't know. I don't think they're going to come
up with anything too creative or on the edge with this.
It's just gonna be Paul Hayman coming out and being
like the future is now. You're not one to wait around.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Deals right Live Morgan Live in Rio, Ripley and Dominic.
You're right, I'm sorry, I completely I completely gloss over that,
but you're right. Gill. That's a perfect one, because yeah,
that was a great, great infidelity storyline. Wow, how did
that miss me?

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
But that was also you know what with that whole story,
I'll say this, I never took that as Dom and
her were together romantically. What I always not I him
and Rhea like they would always like they would always
go with this whole thing of being like, oh, yeah,
they're together, he's with her whatever, and always just felt

(01:16:22):
like she was like he was her fucking butt boy.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Rde She practically murdered liv Morgan. Your friend isn't going
to murder someone.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
No, no, no, not a friend, but like you stole
my fucking property. That's kind of how I felt. That
was my read on it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
I thought the way that was played was real. Ripley
was acting very jealous or not jealous, but she was.
She was hurt by it, and.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
I thought, yeah, it was like more show. She was
made to look like an idiot.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
I think, oh see, I didn't get that at all.
I got that as the because they were I'm trying
to remember. There was even promos that she kind of
cut afterwards too, that led you to believe that their
relationship was something more and if it wasn't something more.
Then why in the fuck did they do the whole
thing with literally live in Dominic kissing on the ramp

(01:17:10):
and then flipping everyone off? Yeah, that was weird. Why
would you do a romantic thing if there was no
romance between real Ripley and Dominic?

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
I know, but it was always like, I don't know,
I never got that like the way that there is.
I get it, it's fucking acting, folks, but right right
the way that there's like a very obvious chemistry between
Live in dom even when they're just.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
That one is more of a live thing. I think
Live is a more sexual being than Rial Ripley is
Real Ripley.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
That's a dangerous sentiment to make, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
I mean, well, let's just put the cards on the
table for this one. If you're looking at Rio Ripley
and you're looking at Live Morgan, which one looks like
they kiss better? Right, that's what you have to look
at it as so the character that they present, not
the person, right, but the characters that they present, the
real Ripley character and the Live Morgan character. The real

(01:18:08):
Ripley character came off as gruff, came off as a
little bit Bondagey seemed like it was more into the
fetishizing of a sexual performance, whereas the Live Morgan side
was more affectionate. And she proved this when she was
doing things for Dominic like the chicken nuggies and stuff

(01:18:30):
like that, which in turn became rock Sanne there for
a hot minute when she was filling in that role
when Live was gone. So it's kind of this weird
I guess base upon the characters that they present. Real
Ripley never came off as a flowers kind of girl,
but if Live Morgan gave Dominic flowers hint, hint, it

(01:18:51):
seems like it's a different type of uh physical physicality
to their relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
Well, you don't have to explain to me as a
guy from the Northeast. It's what a sick, little Italian
girl's gonna do to your life. But there's probably some
people where they're like a big Australian jack's good looking girl.
That's right. Like I'm like, oh, no, I know exactly,
I know where you're going with this. I know it's like,
this is the chick she's gonna she's gonna show up

(01:19:19):
in the I've already said this before with daddy, daddy
dirty Nissan Ultimate.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
Oh yeah, remember the jacket thing like that was a
big fucking moment for Live and and she gave like
with the whole jacket, like help me take this off
and stuff. And then fucking Damien Priest shows up and goes, hey, man,
you know it's not gonna end well like you do you?

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
But by the way, is Damian Priest like injured? What happened?
I feel like I haven't seen him in forever.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
Creative has nothing for him.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
So wow, it's gonna be like did he did he
get hurt from out? Like he's like, oh my god,
I springed my lucky bone. I don't know what to s.

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
He was just on SmackDown last week Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Oh, I don't watch that ship. I don't watch man.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
He's yeah, he's been on there for a minute. I
understand that he's just he's not doing anything. Though, what
title is he going for? I'm sorry, we'll clarify this.
What title is Damien Priest going for? Right now?

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Uh? Luckiest guy on the show. I feel like, I mean,
if you if you take into account all of these
different factors, right, he signed some big ass contract. If
I remember correctly back when they really felt like they
were going to do something with.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Them, which they should, which they I feel.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Like they just hit a wall with him, man like
there wasn't enough personality there for them to carry him.
And then all these other guys started coming up, and
then they got all excited about Jay. So so I mean,
if anything, Jay's push is really kind of what cemented
that the Damian Priest things. You know, it was on
its way out. But yeah, I don't know, he's He's
the guy had a he had a run. But I

(01:20:57):
feel like I haven't seen him in forever. I feel
like that's fucking done. It's got to be close to it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
Like Priest, but yeah, he's not making any more waves.
I think Priest absolutely has an overhead. I think his
story is great. I think that even though people think
of him as the bisexual Undertaker, I think there's a
lot there. There's a lot of nuance that Damien Priest
does that is missing in today's wrestling. He puts a
lot of flavor on all of his moves, whether it's
from the silly bow and arrow shit that he does,

(01:21:24):
it's just the way that he shakes his arms and
his legs when he's kicking the shit out of you. Like,
there's a personality to the design of Damian Priest which
most people don't have. And I don't know. I think
I like the flashy stuff about wrestling sometimes I don't
necessarily mean that you should have fifteen planches in a

(01:21:45):
row and then do superkicks for the other fifteen minutes.
But at the same time, you can have a personality
when you're fighting. It's just I don't know. And yeah,
I see that he's feuding with Malachi black So or
a Alster black fucking Purgatory. Yeah, but let's get ready
to wrap it up. Much love to the people showing
