Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns.
What's up, everybody?
Another late and wrong edition of the wrestling returns.
My name is Brian.
With me as always, my brother, Nez.
What's up, man?
Yeah, everyone, we're back.
Life, always getting in a way, everyone, but we're still going to bring it to you.
We're also going to come back a day or so with SummerSlam, because a lot has happened in between.
that and this and afterwards, but money in the bank.
Toronto.
What was this one? Toronto?
Canada.
Shout out to I am Leonard.
I don't know his last name.
Always in the front row.
You lucky bastard.
I don't know if you listen to the show, but I met him once.
Cool guy.
Man, I would love to be sitting in the front.
at one of these things.
I mean, the most I've been, I was,
it was just a house show.
I was like in the third row. And that was fun.
It was two of my sons and we had a good time.
And,
TLC,
I was in the very last row
up top one year in San Jose,
but I didn't care. It was still a hell of fun.
The WrestleMania is that one, I stood.
Never, never doing that again.
and the other one I went to, we were at least on the side that was shade all day.
So that was good.
Not like everyone else that was burning up.
But, oh, man, I would love to be in the front row.
So if anyone, any you, WWE people listening, hook us up.
We'll be right in the front.
We'll hollering and cry and everything.
So money in the bank.
What did you think of this one?
I thought this was a pretty decent card going in.
There was some matches.
I wasn't really looking forward to them, kind of getting over.
But as usual, some of the ladder matches delivered, especially the women's.
Women's went super hard.
RIP to some of them to turn that match because, man, I mean, we'll get to it.
but Zohy Stark, they were giving it to her.
Yeah, I was not really that big of a fan of hers,
but, yeah, man, she's bringing it to it.
And I didn't get to meet her, but I saw her at Comic-Con.
We'll talk about that later on.
But I like her.
I like what she's doing.
and she's she's putting in work hopefully uh they push her a little more um but i don't know we'll see
but this did start off with a bang with the um did you do you jiz what wait am i on the right thing
yeah we started with the men's money in the bank ladder match oh this is all out of order then
I'm on CBS Sports.com and it's out of order.
Men's running the bank ladder match.
Jay Uso, taking on Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, however he says his name,
Shorty G, Chad Gable, L, A, Knight, yeah.
Drew McIntyre.
I was like, okay, I'm ready for it.
I'm not with the whole Yit movement or whatever.
whatever they're calling it.
But I'd love how the crowd is so into it.
And everybody's behind Jay.
He came through the crowd and everybody doing it.
Even Michael Cole's dumbass.
And I love what's his nuts.
What's the other guy not dumbass, Corey, the other dude.
He's got his own, he was a football player.
Pat McAfee.
Yeah, him.
When he's there, he'll stand up on the table and do it.
And they're falling out his chair every time he climbs on top of it.
But this was cool.
Who is your pick coming into this match?
LA night.
I mean, I'm just, I like all of them.
Even Chad Gable.
So I don't know.
Not what does nuts.
Carmelo.
I'm not down for him.
I'm more mainly just jealous.
because he's got the queen.
And Tramette's the fucking man.
He just not yet been given the chance.
Yeah, I just, I don't know.
I'm just,
he wasn't down with Tranquilo when he was in the NXT?
No.
Camilla Hayes, he's good, but I can't get to do without him.
I think they're fucking up with him.
Yeah.
I think they called him up too soon and just had nothing to do,
nothing for him planned.
Yeah, you bring him in and then he's just there.
I think him and Andrade wrestled each other like three or four weeks in a row now?
No.
They do the same thing.
I mean, I've said there's many, many times, if you guys, been listening to us?
They have so many good performers, men and women.
And they only use, showcase whoever's the big at.
the moment. I mean, we
get them all at the house shows,
but, and these big
main, uh,
pay-per-views or whatever the hell you call them,
the thing.
Yeah, it's like,
come on. I mean, we've seen these matches,
like over and over. We'll see it
the day before on Smackdown, and then
we see it again the next day.
Yeah. But I don't know
what they're doing. Because, I mean,
when the last time I went to
money not money bank
TLC
we went to it was during the
holidays so there was a holiday
show like in Oakland
before they went to San Jose
and we saw the
I was like okay this is cool
I love the matches the next day
I saw the exact same thing over again
I was like
all right
I mean if you didn't get to go to TLC you got to see
it minus the latter match
there I was
just like ah all right whatever but uh j of course getting it all started so it's cool and and drida's dumb
ass with his i did like his mask though but i think that would be hard uh to wrestling when he comes out
yeah i think he used to do the luchador thing like back in the day i think that's why he carries
it man i mean it looks cool it looks i don't know what it's made that looks like
leather or something but sure that thing don't breathe and he can only see if he's looking
straight ahead my pick going into this one was jay because i think he's so over with the crowd
and he still has not even had a singles title i think it's coming i mean they had this already
planned of course when we knew exactly where it was gone i wanted l a night to win but i was like uh all right
know what's happening here so i mean i'm sure we all saw it coming and we'll get to that later on
but um toronto crowd i mean nothing against it everybody here in in america but i've been saying
this when they take it out of the united states it's just like everybody's more hyped i mean we get
hype too but we just don't get as hyped as out of the country especially with the last few over
and um was that Scotland and then uh was the one before that England I think or wherever they were
man I mean they they were they were hype there and they were hell loud they were they
were shaking the cameras but L.A. night I love him.
he needs to
I see him in the future
with the heavyweight or whatever it is
heavyweight child title the world title or whatever
there's so many different belts now so confusing
yeah I mean same thing with the women's is there's a
women champion and but there's two different versions I'm like
I liked it better when it was the raw title
and the smackdown title or the universal title
and the heavyweight title
Yeah. Now the names are basically the same thing.
Yeah, I don't know what's happening.
But I was pulling for Jay because I want him to get a singles title,
but I think they're going to throw him back with Jimmy.
I think so. I think Jimmy and Jay are going to join up with Roman at some point,
and we'll see the OTC.
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
We'll get to that.
Oh, speaking of that, real quick, everyone, you guys probably didn't know because we're late, but when we're watching the last one, and when he came out, my wife saw that shirt, oh, I want one of those shirts.
I was like, wait, I was talking to the shit.
And then you watch it wrestling.
She wanted the original travel chief t-shirt.
Yeah, uh-huh.
I was like, aw.
Well, she met Roman rain once when we were at.
Wizard World.
We did the photo op thing, so we got to, me and Eric Mayungerson, we got to meet him for a little bit.
So, and she was right there, like, oh, my God.
I was like, all right, calm down.
Trust me, I know the feelings.
Like, calm down.
Some of my family members in the room and like, who's that?
They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah, even my friends at work that don't even watch wrestling.
and they're like, who is he?
Yeah, tell people to calm down.
We ain't about to make wrestling into something else.
Here, one of my friends, she's Simone.
She's like, oh, you go on to her, whatever, whatever.
Is my husband going to be there?
I'm like, what?
All right.
I said, it's probably already married.
She goes, I don't care.
He ain't seen me yet.
I'm like, okay.
But I was, of course, I wanted L.A.
night to win the money in the bank briefcase.
But I was also kind of hoping that Chad Gable would get it.
Because the weather pushing him, man.
I see him at some point.
I've said this before, everyone.
But what do you think?
I think within this match, Chad Gable has proven that he is the man without the belt.
Yeah.
Because that guy, I love that.
That's that one suplex he does where he just lifts him up, the belly to back, and he kind of holds them.
Yeah.
And he tosses them.
He'll do that to anybody.
It doesn't matter how big they are.
I mean, for, I don't know how tall he is.
He probably, if he's not as tall as me, maybe a little inch or two taller, but.
Chad Gable is 5'8.
Oh, shit.
Well, then he's an inch smaller than me.
And he'd be picking up these big-ass motherfuckers that are like six feet?
And, oh, man.
But the thing that's been killing me lately, nothing with any of the wrestlers, is the advertisement.
I get it.
You got to, you got to pay the bills.
But, man, I mean, especially with this one, the boys, nothing against you guys that watch the boys.
My son loves that show.
He zipped through every season that's out there.
And they were really promoting it all over the place at Comic Con.
But.
wait till he gets a somerslam
oh man
talk about the advertisements all over the ring
yeah that was killing me this one
I get the prime too
even my grandsons are like
why is prime on the ring I'm like
it's one of the sponsors
and then they noticed a little hydration station
they were like oh okay
but they're like
why I said
but even my grandson was like
nobody drinks it I'm like
I don't know it's just there for looks
for them to crash into it and throw it at each other.
But they know what's going on in this.
They don't know.
The only wrestlers they know is mainly Cody Rose
because they love the way when he comes out.
But they sat there and watched this match.
And there was Chad Gable when he was hanging from the case,
they were all about that.
They were like, rewind it, rewind it.
I was like, what's live?
We can't rewind it yet.
So, but they were all about it.
They loved it.
They were watching it.
And they were going, ooh, and ah.
And are they hurt?
Are they okay?
I'm like, they're okay.
But I'm sure they're laying or hurt.
There was some stuff going on.
I know Andrade was giving it to Carmelo a few times.
He gave him like a Spanish fly off the rope onto a ladder.
Yeah.
And gave him the sunset power bomb onto another ladder.
I think, I forgot.
got who it was, but
I think Drew
chucked a ladder like a spear into
somebody's face.
I mean, Carmelo
Hayes, man, he was
making use of the ring, I mean, especially
springboarding off the ropes.
And yeah, they're showing, I'm watching this, everyone.
Right now, and Carmelo was,
our, Andrade was climbing up the ladder, and he
springboard off, off the rope, and
just slammed him.
And now he's got
Andrade on the belt, or not on the belt,
on the ladder just laying there and Carmelo's about to jump up springboard off oh miss
camelo is when they both on there and they both do a flip and land on it on their stomach both of
them uh that's why i give it to these guys i mean every even even the ladies because they go hard
when that when they're up but to know that's going to hurt no matter what i don't think i could do
it i don't and these guys are basically stunt men and wendings
and the stuff that they do for us is amazing.
And I couldn't even just throw myself on the ground,
much less do a flip and land on the ladder.
Because they were both,
and Andrade already had red marks all over his back
from falling all over the place and landing on the ladders.
But now Drew and Jimmy are in the room,
or Jay are in the...
What happened to Jimmy? You get hurt?
Yeah, he...
I don't know.
know. I don't know if he got hurt or
they had him get hurt so he can be gone.
But I think when the
bloodline 2.0 or whatever the
fuck they're called him now, I think when they
took him out, I think he needed to
take a break for an injury.
But
I heard he's clear.
Well, he'll come back.
When the Uso's get
back together, bring the Haka back.
that was my favorite when they came out but then they went heel with the when they got all ginkster
i was like i heard i heard their dad was supposed to come back what yeah but i think he got in a
little bit of trouble on his podcast i say something he shouldn't have he criticized wwee
uh for not pushing jimmy or pushing jay and then coincidentally like the he deleted the podcast
Yeah, so I'm sure somebody called him.
He was like, hey.
We're about to push him.
Take this shit down.
You're trying to get in the storyline with the bloodline.
Let's stop criticizing my employers.
Well, Chad Gable was in a do sh throwing Carmelo Hayes around.
Man, this little guy, man, he's buff as hell, man.
I don't have time to be in the gym like these guys.
I wish, but
man, yeah, for his little
ass, there's throw fools all over the
place. It's got the
ladder, he picked
up the ladder and
did like the suplex with the ladder
and luckily Andrade
was paying attention because if he looked
away for a second, that shit would
hit him in the head, but he like noticed it
and then he kind of bent down and it got him in the back.
So he went down.
The crowd's showing him no
love. They're still giving a you still
suck chance.
I wouldn't I wouldn't chant against him.
I mean, even yeah, he's the heel and everything
with it. When he'd come out, I'd be yeah.
If I wanted a few.
Whoop. Chad Gable was climbing
up the ladder. L.A. and I jumped in,
grabbed him by the back of the tights and pulled down
and you saw a little crack real
fast.
Well, when's the
Netflix thing starting?
I think
January or
February. I could
might be wrong, but I know early next year.
And I think NXT is moving to the CW.
CW.
Yeah, which I think is kind of fucked out.
Because I think the NWA had a deal with CW.
I don't know.
Remember that show The wrestlers we did?
The wrestler?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are they, was it just a one and done season?
Are they doing it some more?
Do you know?
As far as I know, one and done, but I think it was well received.
I think a lot of people watched this.
I wouldn't be surprised they did a second season.
Yeah.
I know what's her name?
Holly, Holly Hood.
That was her and that older lady.
Can't remember her name.
I know she's been taking matches overseas now.
Oh, damn.
Oh, shit.
They just jammed the latter.
They put the ladder sideways in the corner.
And LA Knight, I think he did a neck breaker.
Okay, through short, yeah, neck breaker right on top, sideways on the ladder,
both of them.
Well, Chad Gable took most of the force, but L.A. Knight caught a little bit of it.
Now, L.A. Knight and Carmelo Hayes are out,
fighting out in the ring, or outside of the ring.
slams him against table. Carmelo A's
slams against the table. And everyone's
yeah. I love
that, man. I want to go to a house show
anything where L.A. Knight's at so I can cheer
and scream and yell yeah and all that
all night. Ah, fuck you.
Corey, I hate you. Sorry, everyone.
You're new to the show. I hate Corey.
Corey Graves.
Yes, because he's
where's she at? She get hurt?
Or she, well, she had a baby, didn't she?
Yeah, she neither had a baby or
having a baby.
Okay. She's been gone for a while.
What was she? The princess of Staten Island.
Yeah.
A Shaolin.
Oh, man. But, ooh.
Damn, take, uh, Camilla Ace take out, uh, L.A. night.
Look like a code breaker, but they called it something else.
All right, really quick.
Uh, code breaker is, uh, Jericho's move.
Yeah.
I know it's a little, that's what they've called it, but there's,
are they just letting them use it i mean you can still use a move but
they call them in a code breaker they're not they tried to call it something else for a minute
but then they said eff it and just went to codebreaker i think they're cool with jericho
okay because i remember a few years ago he did that uh stone cold podcast that was on
w-d-n-n-huh and he was with a w so i think they're cool with him all right
Because we all know when he retires, he's going to have some matches in WW.
Yeah, I wouldn't say he needs to retire, but I think he'll be back at some.
Well, he's reinvented himself again.
He's the learning tree.
Bring back the clipboard.
That was my favorite.
And when he comes back to WWE, I want the clock.
The Y clock.
You'll get the clock and you'll get the jacket.
the light up jacket
everything i want all of that
the scar
come out of the rumble
and then we'll be all
will be hyped up
but
but yeah this match man
they all went hell of hard
but i did i did notice that
they were all the beginning
all in the ring at the beginning until they started
getting knocked out and thrown out
and then it just turned into like two or three guys
in the ring going at it it was never like
all of them were in there again so but i guess you can't focus on too many everyone all at once
doing something spectacular because they were all doing stuff that were me each each one of them
did something uh either either one or more than one that uh got the crowd hyped so i mean that's what
i like because drew mackintyre he was in there for a minute because right now it's just mainly just
Chad Gable, Camillo Hayes and Andrade.
And the other thing that I hate is when they're like feet away from the case and they're still trying to reach for it.
Oh, doing the fingertip thing?
Yeah.
I mean, like, you can't even reach it.
My youngest daughter was watching it and she was giving me the side eye.
When they do that, they can only climb the ladder like one step at a time.
Yeah
She looked to be like
What's going on now?
And I was like
Just go with it
Just go with it
Oh man
Drew McIntyre picked up
Just through
Chad Gable
On to the ladder
On the back
And then everyone
jumped in
With the CM Punk chance
Oh
Claymore Andrade
And he flips out
Almost hit the
The little ring guys
That on the outside
That haul around
All the cables
all right now see drew mackintyre is is climbing the ladder nobody's in the ring and he's taking his sweet damn time with these big ass steps
and then jac comes jumping in and here comes l a night as well and when they reach for the the
for the briefcase when they're not even they're under it but they're not even close to it i'm like
what are you doing oh it looks like this ladder is about the fold because when uh mackintyre was climbing it
part of it was starting to fold up.
You know, my other favorite thing is
when they act like they don't know
where the center of the ring is, when they're
putting a ladder up and they're moving it all over the place.
Oh, man. See, all right.
Now, the other three that we're all in there,
all beat up and they're laying dead on the side of the ring.
Now, LA Knight, Jay, and McIntyre are in the ring.
Don't put too much weight on that ladder, man.
They need to get a new one because it starts.
in the bend the LA 9 J are exchanging blows the yeat and the yeah blows my son was
my grandson was like why are they hitting each other I said they're trying to knock each other
off the ladder later that day I see my two grandsons punching each other and they were trying
to reach for something like well there was nothing there but they were reaching in the air like
they were grabbing the case.
I was like, what are you guys reaching for?
And I went, oh, okay, I see what they're doing.
I'm trying to get that contract.
Yeah, my wife goes, why do you let them?
I said, don't worry about it.
They're just kids.
I was watching it too.
I turned out all right.
Yeah, you just got to let them know that it's a show.
Yeah, I tell them because they're like, are they really hitting each other?
I said, not really.
All right here.
Carmelo Hayes has been in, he's
climbed that later and he was up there
for the longest and he couldn't take
one more step up to grab it.
He's looking down, like
waiting for someone to come too.
Andrade jumped in the ring and pulled him down.
I think this is the
power bomb spot.
Yeah, that ladder standing in the
middle. Andrade put one
the front of the top of the ladder
in the ladder and then put the
one on the second rope. Now he's
climbing up slowly.
Carmelo Hayes is
climbing up the other side.
All right. Reach for the case
and don't do anything with it.
And here comes
LA Knight. He's climbing up the top.
Adradi is still reaching for the case.
Camelo is coming up to the
top. Boot to LA
Knight's head. He kind of falls down.
Camillo Hayes gets
his head slammed.
Then, oh, suplex.
from the top row boy i gotta see that again really quick
andrade grabs almost grabs a case but then he grabs carmello hayes
and just flips and both of them well camelo hayes takes the most of the force
but andrade he he also hits it he mainly hits it on it with his butt but
and then la nights in there throws them out of the ring and he's uh climbing up
watch out of this camera man there's too many of them around almost getting hit with ladders
we got the next big spot coming out yeah la night's climbing the ladder now here comes uh chat gable
and he's holding him from behind like grabbing the waist but then he gives him elbow and he
falls down uh chat gable pulls down la night boom l a night goes for uh neck breaker nope and then
chad gable tries to pick him up nope he throws up nope he throws up
of L.A. Knight against the top rope, then bashes his head against the ladder in the middle of the ring.
Gable picks him up again. Nothing, nothing. He's just holding him down. Then he flips him over.
L.A. Knight with his on his back on the ladder. It was when somebody set it up on the ring,
and the other end is on the announced table. So L.A. night's land. They're dead now.
Chad Gable in the middle of the ring by himself. Nobody around. Nobody jumping in.
Probably wasted a good five, ten seconds.
Yeah, he climbed up halfway, stopped.
Taking his time.
He turned around and looked.
Yeah.
He has the case in his hands.
He's holding on.
Jay, or, yeah, Jay jumped in the ring, pulled out the ladder.
Chad Gable was hanging from the hook that's holding the case, and then he just falls.
And I'll give him that.
He fell right.
But he basically fell, instead of on his feet, he fell flat on his face.
They missed the opportunity.
They should have recreated the
Edge and Jeff Hardy moment
where he speared him when he was hanging from the
rope or the cable or whatever.
Yeah.
Because that's what I thought he was doing when he
Jay pulled the ladder to the corner.
Nah, he was waiting for him.
Chad Gable falls. He bounces on his face,
gets back up on his feet.
Jimmy jumps off the rope, boom, spear.
And just flips Chad Gabriel
as he rolls out of the ring.
Jay pulled the ladder over.
This is where I thought it was over with.
I was like, all right, Jay is going to win.
So that's it.
Because no one was around.
No, no heads were popping up.
Jay, Jimmy, yeah, Jay, Jimmy.
Jay keeps, he's climbing the ladder.
But the case is swinging back and forth.
He gets a hold of it.
He could have easily unhooked it.
But Drew McIntyre picks up another ladder and throws it up.
and it hits spears jimmy right in the face and then he falls off and this is where drew climbs the ladder
the crowd hyped i was like all right he's going to win because nobody's around him he misses the
the case is still swinging from chad gable and when he gets up there he reaches for it and and like
does miss and then he yells out well you could see it if you could relips he's like
come here motherfucker
the case swings back and then he
pulls it off and Drew
McIntyre is Mr.
Money in the bank
so I was like
my grandson was like so
now what I said there's a contract in that case
and they had asked what's a contract
I said well there's a piece of paper
in the case and he
signs it and I said
you know the guys with the belts
and they're like yeah the gold ones I said
yeah I said he gets to wrestle one of them anytime for that belt and they're like oh okay
speaking of belts I need to find all of uh Kyle's belts he had a bunch of them because
Daniel and Buster were like I want a belt and we're at Walmart I said I got like a bag of them
your uncle's belts and they're like well where are them who Renee was even asking me
I think they're in the closet so I need to go in there and get them out
but I have a feeling. I'm going to get those belts out and then they're really going to be wrestling for them.
So they had a ring set up one morning. I woke up and I went into the living room.
Couching. Couchings?
Yeah, they had. That's how you do it.
You either use your brother or a stuffed animal that's big enough.
They want one of those. We were watching some older or some YouTube guy that had a bunch of old WW.
have the wrestling buddies and they're like oh i want one of those i said they don't make those anymore
wrestling buddies but what was it tonka yeah the only one and why is the ultimate warrior one
speaking of that i made the mistake of watching dark side of the rank
about ultimate wire uh i learned a little too much
that i about how he was then or about how he became how how he was how he was
and even after he got the boot and how crazy he got and the way he was talking and everything.
Yeah, that's show a ruin some things for you.
Yeah.
I mean, that was that flight to hell or whatever?
I ruined it for Rick Flair.
Yeah.
I can appreciate them in the ring, but no, you just don't do that to women.
Yeah, listen is when women say no.
no means no. Even you gal sometimes.
But mainly the dudes. We're talking to you guys. Or I'm talking
to you guys. Yeah, man, some of the stuff
that Warrior was about, I was like, huh, really?
So I kind of like, you got to separate the art from the artist.
And with Hulk Hogan's deal, those of you, they pay attention to the
politics. Gosh, every time I hear something about this guy.
even like apparently all the stories that he makes up did you ever watch his Joe Rogan interview
I saw clips apparently from a couple of YouTube videos I've seen that they made about it
he lied probably about 50 to 75% of the stories were not accurate or not even true at all
I don't know
I'm just going by what I grew up with in the ring
I mean everyone you got your own opinion
about what you think about this and that
but he was cool with me when I met him
and I was that little boy again
by that little Hulk maniac
when I met him and he was
he was hell of cool all the wrestlers I've met
were cool except for
um
what's his nuts
he passed away
Mr. Perfect.
Kurt Henning.
Yeah.
I get it.
He did apologize.
So, I mean, but he came off of me a little hard.
They had some kind of, it was when it was WWF.
They had something going on.
No, I guess it was WWE by then.
Anyway, they had something going on in Reno,
and they were flying out the next day.
I happened to walk up to the front counter.
And he was there.
It was, it was kind of shortly after 9-11.
So everything was, was really, the security and all that were real crazy in different times at the airports.
And there was kind of like a random, we check your bag.
I don't know how they pick, but he was one that they had to, that the TSA had to come.
dig physically dig through his back
and he was mad
I remember how they picked me and my brother
two two gates in a row
randomly
yeah sometimes
I am like TSA guy leaped over and told me
it's because you guys are wearing a lot of jewelry
I was like oh
I'm sure that
yeah that was it
wink wink
But anyway, I saw him, and he was kind of just standing there, and I was like,
whoa, Mr. Perfect, man, da-da-da-da.
I love this, this, this, this, and that.
Anyway, do you work for this airline?
I went, yeah, because I asked him for an autograph.
And he was like, you work for this airline?
I went, no.
I was like, well, fuck you then.
So I kind of turned, I started to walk away.
I didn't say it out loud.
I said it, like in my head.
I was starting to walk away.
Anyway, hey, wait a minute, man, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm just, I say, I mean, I get it. And he goes, oh, come on, come on.
This is before cell phones. So he's like, yeah, he signed something. I don't know what I did with it.
Did he spit a piece of gum out and smack it out the air first?
No. But he was hot, man, that they had to dig through his bag. So I'm like, well, don't blame me, man.
I mean, I just get your bags and make sure they get on the plane. But yeah, he was.
he was pretty hot.
All right.
So CBS Sports gave that one an A-minus.
I'd have gave it just a solid A.
I mean, I liked the outcome, which we knew it was coming.
But overall, I thought it was cool.
I think I would go with that A-minus.
Because I think I kind of agree with a lot of what you said,
how conveniently there was not a lot of people in the ring
at certain spots
and I think these type
of matches need to be a little bit more
chaotic.
Yeah, I mean, just get
more people in the ring instead of just three
at a time. Let's see more
than one person go after the belt at the same
time. Yeah.
All right. The next match,
the Intercontinental Championship,
Sammy Zane,
taking on
Braun Breaker.
should be Bronz Steiner.
Exactly. Who's his dad?
Rick.
Rick. Okay.
They were there at SummerSlam.
His dad. Yeah. They were there.
They were there. It's just power in those bruised.
You can see it.
Braun, either get a real tan or just stay away from the spray tan.
Because it's, it doesn't look good.
I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I'm already dark, everyone.
But, well, he's
Orange.
Yeah.
And that's like,
come on, man, pick a lighter color.
Or just go out there like Seamus
and just be whatever color you are.
That's the wrestler that my wife hates.
She goes, oh, my God, he's too white.
I'm like, well, it's not his fault.
When's he coming back?
He's been wrestling.
Okay, that's what I thought, man.
He's beefing with
Pete Dunn
you just don't see it
in these because we keep
seeing the same matches over and over
him and Pete Dunn
Pete Dunn turned on
him
for no reason
whatsoever they never gave no
explanation
and Pete Dunn's also
wrestling in NXT for some reason at the
same time
I don't know
you just go where they tell you to go
so
If anybody's been wondering where Pete Dunn is,
he is beefing with Trick Williams on
NXT and James on Smackdown.
For no reason whatsoever.
Just showed up.
Hidden people.
Sammy Zane's coming out, man.
Everybody's hyped.
Dancing and all that.
You know he's joining
with Roman. You know that's happening.
He's got to. He's got to.
What are his shirts?
say was a part-time
us or
honorary
yeah
you got to bring the t-shirt
bag
rome's got to give him a new one
what was he told jay
whenever beefing he was going to make him
a full-time hoose
yeah
oh man
I mean I like Sammy Zane
I like everything about him
I didn't like him at first
he was always good
but I was more
K-O during the NXT stuff.
And then when he came over.
Yeah.
But I did like when he was
with the bloodline.
I liked what he was doing.
He was basically
the comic relief, but
he was still bringing it to them.
And he was taking the most bumps
out of everybody.
All right.
Brum Breaker, two times
NXT champ.
I'm not that
big of a fan at him i mean he's you you know they're pushing him hard oh yeah and everyone of you
if you read wrestling pages and all that they're like it's because of who his family is i'm like
of course it is i mean we all know that well i i think he's a better wrestler than his dad was
oh yeah those guys are just brutes can't do that anymore that time is and i like i like bron when he was
in NXT when they
teamed them up with Baron Corbyn.
They had a pretty cool tag team going.
They had some nice little
tag team moves they put together
for them. And the crowd
was, the crowd was behind them too.
Bring
the hobo
Corbin back.
Oh, bummy Corby.
Yeah, bring it back. Where is he
at? He needs to come back.
They're trying to make him a face now.
No.
It doesn't work.
Yeah, I agree.
Bring back Bummy Corbyn.
Have him sitting outside.
Eating a can of beans.
Got stains on a shirt.
And they didn't bring back.
What's his name?
I got kids.
Oh, Keith Slater.
Yeah.
He's doing his thing in TNA.
Bring him back.
We want the 3MB one more time.
what's his name's in
a GCW now
who
gender
he don't go by gender
he goes by something else
is he still all ripped
yeah
and the crowd was like
because GCW to me is like
the modern day ECW
and he showed up
and that crowd got hype when he showed up
I mean he was having a good run
when he came back and they even
made him the champ and they had that
a bamboo cage match, which was stupid.
It was stupid when they did it with the great colleague.
But, and maybe with this match, back to it.
These guys, man,
Sammy Zane is always going to bring it.
And he's in way better shape than me.
But I just never really noticed it.
he's got muscles and everything,
but he's not all ripped up
like a majority of these guys.
So he looks like a normal guy.
Because even my wife went,
who's this bummy looking dude?
I was like,
that's Sammy Zay, he's fresh.
Yeah, you say he's the honorary ooze.
Come on now.
This was the match when I was watching this,
the boys were getting a little while.
I had to come.
I had to break them up
and I missed a lot of this match.
It was basically
Bron beating the shit
out of Sammy
for most of the match
and Sammy
you know doing his
you know won't stay down thing.
Yeah.
And
it was a pretty quick match.
And then
Braun somehow
I guess
I started taking him
lightly showboating
and then
it was going to run in
for Spears.
something and uh some it was weird sammy like kicked him while he was in air but it looked like
he only kicked his arm yeah because what i'm seeing man sammy's just getting the hell beating out of
him i mean this guy takes a lot of punishment i mean when he was in the bloodline man they
really beat the hell at him oh and i think this is the match where he saved sammy's life
oh that was when he sammy springboarded it
off the barricade and
Bron caught him before he landed on his head.
Oh, yeah, that was
I mean, good for
Braun, man. He saw it
and whoa, reached in you because you could
see him. I think out of
that this mask, that was the clip that
I had seen the most. And it was all
tired of like, yeah, Sammy gets saved
or something like that. Because his
head was inches from that floor.
Yeah.
That was kind of a
more towards the end.
of the match.
McKay,
Brom was just beating the hell out of him.
And then...
Yeah, he's doing the...
Doing the shout-out right now.
I'm watching it.
He's beating...
beating Sammy's ass,
doing a shout-out to his uncle,
doing push-ups.
What Sammy's trying to kid up.
Oh, man.
Sammy.
No, what?
I forgot what I was gonna say.
But, yeah,
but overall,
all, I mean, I did watch the match
when, during the replay.
That's what I noticed and he almost died.
But yeah, he got beat up most of the match and then
then he started to come back and getting everyone
hyped up. And they were in and out of the ring
doing what they do.
Oh, excuse me.
When Breaker
picked up Sammy, he was about to slam him into the post,
but then Sammy jumps down and she pushes him into the bows.
I love how like they hit their hands first and then crash into it and act like the head hit and then they fall like dazed.
Because I was telling my grandsons that I said, look, I said, they're,
the only way I can put it to where they understood is they're pretending.
But Daniel was like, that don't look like they're pretending.
I said, they're not really mad at each other.
They're just, it's entertainment.
They're doing this to make everybody excited.
And he was kind of like, okay, I assume he got it.
Yeah, I mean, when they get older, I understand.
I at least try to explain it to them.
I'm not like most of these guys or my dad, all that's fake.
Let me enjoy it.
Go watch your John Wayne movies and all that other shit used to make me watch.
Shout it to my dad, man.
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have knew who Clint Eastwood was.
Yeah, my dad used to make me watch John Wayne.
Like all the John, not just the westerns, the war movies.
I couldn't get into any of his movies.
I tried.
I mean, I remember watching them little bits with my dad.
That when I was older, I said,
hey, let me watch a John Wayne movie.
True Grid or whatever that one was.
I was like,
Okay, I know who it is.
I think the only one I'd like, I know we're supposed to be talking about the match, but the only one I think I liked was, what was it called?
The sister of Katie Elder or something, or the brothers of Katie or something like that.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
I think I've seen that one.
Or I might have seen just bits of it.
Yeah, true grid.
I was like, hey, okay, yeah, I know who you are.
But the remake was awesome.
Shout out to Jeff Bridges.
And the new Hawkeye.
What's her name?
Yeah, that's right.
He was young back then.
Yeah.
Is that her first movie?
I don't know.
Could be.
She was super young.
Yeah.
They're outside of the ring.
And Brung comes running full speed.
I thought he was going to spare him.
But then Sammy jumps over him, and he almost goes into the steel stairs.
But Sammy's all beat up because now he's getting slammed against the announce table.
Braun drums up onto the ring, clotheslines him, onto the ring.
Oh, that's the next one.
Never mind.
I was about to talk about someone else that hit their shins or whatever on the announce table.
That's the next one.
Yeah, well, we'll talk about that one.
yeah because i was like i was i felt so bad because you know they got plans for that guy
yeah but he's gonna have to take a break
the way he got up and couldn't and started throwing chairs around i was like
my daughter was like is is he really hurt and i was like hell yeah yeah i had to help him out
i was like if we don't see him for the rest of the match and we didn't no
he was laying there dead but when brawn dove off the uh off the ring he let there the other i see this
drone the drone shot he landed right on the uh announced table he knew jumping from that far
the risk of hitting your shins or whatever so he he turns sideways he worries me too
because if you go back and watch some of his matches he's a little reckless with
himself.
Yeah.
And I don't know if it's because
he's just young and
not that experience, but
he, there's a couple times where
he almost landed on his head
I've seen.
Speaking of heads, man, this
has to do with wrestling.
Instagram, all those little
indie shows that they, little
clips they show and
guys landing on their heads,
girls landing on their head.
But it looks like
they mean to do that
oh they're they're doing it
just like that big controversy that's going on
with the jack perry and a w
taking that headshot with the chair
yeah i know you've seen it where he was handcuffed to the cage
yeah
everybody was everybody got pissed off
i mean don't just do
dangerous it's all dangerous boys and girls
these are professionals don't do this at home
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't look at the camera and say, real chair.
But yeah, man, they'd be going for a little too hard.
Maybe just, I mean, I assume they're doing good if they're still on the air.
But, I mean, just be careful because sometimes it goes a little overboard.
Yeah, maybe you do a little less with, like, let me say, lighting people on fire and,
save that to those backyard wrestling guys
they'll be fine
they just
they just need somebody to
I think they need somebody else to run it
not not
I can't remember his name
Tony
yeah Tony Khan
he's too much of a fan
he needs to be more of a boss
but maybe that's why
I know you've seen the picture
of him and Shane McMahon in the meeting room.
Will Shane go over to them?
He's got none to do with WWE anymore, right?
No, they fired him.
Okay, so that was real.
Yeah.
I never know.
I don't want to see him do matches,
but I would like to see him help run the company.
Yeah, I mean, he's been around it enough longer than them to know how to do it.
I don't know what was the reason.
for him leaving and never really
dove into it but him
coming back I was hell of excited
I think it was that rumble he was in I think he
tried to
book them the match to
a different way especially his part
in it and they
after after he was out of the match
I guess I told him get the fuck out of here
and then
the WrestleMania not this
the year before
when he blew his knee out or whatever
happened. Yeah, when he was fighting,
trying to fight with
the Miz. Gosh, that was
so awkward. He
just, I don't know what, I can't even remember
what he did. Probably something he had done
a million times, but he leaped
over the Miz. Yeah,
and came down, I was like,
oh man. And the Mizz is just standing there
and then somebody's in Stoop's
earpiece telling him to do something
and he said, that's the first thing he thought it
was to punch the Miz.
Dude that of horrible.
people's elbow
well
that'll look better than him bouncing off the ropes
it's like the ropes
that he would move
go find that clip everyone if you guys
forgot
but yeah man
Sammy Zay started to come back at the end
and slammed
to Bronbreaker then he gets him in the corner
for the Huluva kick
boom
and then breaker just falls like a log
and one two three
that's it
Sammy Zane
wins. This
macho man guy in the front row
he's been in the last few
paper. He's another regular.
All right.
What happened to the other dude? Remember that guy
with long hair
and his mom or whatever? Always in the
front? I don't know.
I mean, what's his name?
There was another dude, too.
Young black gentleman. I want to say they called
him the weatherman or something like that.
was always in the front row.
What's the name's last man standing?
I am Leonard.
Maybe they're not able to get these tickets
because they say
business has been booming.
Maybe tickets are selling faster.
Yeah, I don't know.
But
Sammy Dane's still
the champ. I was surprised.
Yeah.
I thought he was dropping it.
uh the cb sports they gave it a a b plus all right that's cool yeah i can go with that one but on to the next match
well they did a lot of in between talking junk and uh in set ralins came out and did some little hoopla
stuff and then we um what trish tradis come out for again introduce uh john sina oh yeah
And he announced that he is retiring.
And 2025 will be the John Sina farewell tour.
And he's supposed to, his final match is going to be at WrestleMania.
No, December of next year.
Oh, it is?
He said WrestleMania will not be his final match.
It'll just be his final, final WrestleMania.
Oh, all right.
He's doing the whole 2025 year.
Oh, shit.
And he said he's right whoever
Who ever wants to get in there with him
He's cool with and
For what I understand
Gunther wants to match with him
And uh
Shit
Who we just talked about braunbreaker
Would love to get in there with him
Oh man
Bronbreaker might be a little too wild
And hurt him
You know he's gonna give him like the
The easiest spear
He's ever gave anybody
Yeah
Yeah
on to the next match
Seth friggin'
Rollins and
what's his nuts?
Damien.
Yeah, Davy and
Frees for the
World Heavyweight Championship
match.
I liked
this one because
once they got going and they were
beating the hell out of each other,
Damien
Damien kept looking
at the stage
or where everyone
comes out.
He just kept looking back
every time he got a chance
waiting for Drew to come out.
But yeah, this was
a match that
Seth should have won.
Well, he won.
I don't know
unless Damien said something.
Do you have you heard?
Since the last time we talked about it,
from what I
understand he just didn't kick out.
I wasn't sure. Was he dazed?
A lot of
stories I'm hearing. He might have been a little
not there and just
he just was supposed to kick out and didn't kick out. It had
nothing to do with
the, because I thought maybe
they missed a cue with Drew's music.
Yeah. But they just said he didn't kick out.
And when I rewatched it,
I think you had said he looked kind of like he was like he got his bell rung a little bit.
He kind of looked that way to me.
So I think it was.
Because he still, he wasn't laying there with his eyes closed.
He had his eyes open.
But just the way the camera angle was, there was mainly from the side.
You can see it looked like he was dazed.
And then other stories kind of say that is kind of what happens about how, I guess, pissed off with himself he was after the,
match.
Well,
Triple H
basically had to tell him,
you know,
shit happens,
you know,
just,
just go with it.
Just keep pushing,
you know.
Yeah,
I mean,
no matter what.
If you're not mad
at yourself,
then there's a problem.
And he's basically said,
the fact that he was mad
at his performance
shows that,
you know,
he's a true champion
and, you know,
he's trying to get better in there.
So I think,
I think he did
awesome. I like Damien Priest.
I think he was awesome in there.
I know he had this
and then the PLE
before where he got caught in the ropes.
You know, it's just shit happens.
I'm surprised that. I'm glad
it didn't tear
his knee because the way
it was all tangled up
in there and how he was hanging by it.
I was like, oh, don't.
And yeah, because when he got back in the ring, he was
like, he was baby in it, but he kept
falling over. Because that shit was
hurting but he bounced back from that so i was good but yeah this one this match man they went hard
even rollins was looking at the at the entryway and going come on mackinty was screaming
but yeah they were beating the hell out of each other in this one when uh ralins jumped out
of the ring and slammed into damien they went falling over the the announced table
I thought that was a little cool
And it was back and forth for both of them
Damien was doing his deed and beating the shit out of him
And then Seth started coming back with his
His moves
Seth was doing some new stuff in there
I ain't well at least stuff I hadn't seen him do in a while
Like some springboards off the rope and
It's kind of changing it up a little bit
He was doing good man
That's south of heaven move I like that one
a little sit down
choke slam
I'm already at the
not kick out part
there's no way you can't
even explain what happened
let me get to that scene then
because Seth is
Seth just looked at the ref
like what the fuck
he was even mad
at that you could see
he was in he was in it
I was for as the end
wasn't it
it is at a minute
or hour
39
okay I just I got it
yeah he goes
so for the Falcon arrow
Missins and Rowland turns it
Falcon arrow boom
one two
yeah he didn't even
the the ref knew
least he didn't bring it down for the third
yeah the ref
doing what he needs to do.
He just like, no, it was two.
Yeah, but even Seth was like,
what? And the whole crowd went
nuts.
Now Drew's music hits.
And Seth is still
in there, like, what the fuck just happened?
It's going to be cool when
they can cuss and everything, but just don't
go overboard.
I mean, one of the guys are still going to watch.
I don't think. I think
we're not going to go full attitude error
but we're going to have some language in there
they're already they're already kind of up the language of
recently so I think just a little level
above what they're doing now and that'll be
that'll be cool
I had you came down he's in the ring
he cashed in his money in the big contract
Seth Rollins is the only one in the ring
and he's about to give him
Claymore, but they're
waiting for the bell to ring, but
Samantha's taking forever.
But once the bell rang,
he went charging the says, Seth came a super
kick, went for a
curb stop, and he missed.
McIntyre turned into a
DDT. What do they call
it, super shock or whatever?
Future shock.
And now Seth is
falling on the word, Damien Preeze, he's laying
there dead.
there he is
yeah he was about to do a claimor
Seth Damian priest came out
boom knocked him down they threw Seth
Rollins out of the ring he goes
for South of Heaven
but McIntyre comes out of it
and boom he gives a boot
to Damien Priest he falls down
straight in the chest
I know
as he's doing what he's doing
the crowd started out because I was like
we're seeing punk and then he comes running into
the
Okay.
The question, at this point, were they just making up stuff?
It looks like it.
It looks like they had to plan.
Because he hits.
He's beating up, Drew.
He's beating a shit at him with the chair.
And then somebody says, I think it was Corey or Michael Cole.
They're like, well, you know, because it's a triple threat, there's no disqualification.
I was like, when the fuck did that happen?
Oh, man.
I got that shirt.
I see him punk shirt.
I wore that
ComCon.
Yeah, he was whipping his
ass with the chair.
They're in that corner where the bell
is.
He hits him one more time with the chair.
Drew or, yeah, Drew goes flipping over
the barrier.
Yeah, you're going to be excited when
seeing punk's new figure comes out because
his old man,
Phil.
Because he's got the gray beard and everything.
Oh, nice.
They showed us that.
the pictures and everything at a Comic-Con.
There was a prototype there, and they had one for him,
as well as Zoe Stark.
She's got hers coming out as well.
But yeah, Drew, he must have just stumbled and went back in the ring
because Punk went over and grabbed the belt.
And Damien's over there hanging out of the south of the rig,
and then he runs and misses Drew McIntyre with the belt,
but Drew goes down, and he's laying there.
And Michael Cole, what are you doing, Phil?
job.
Come on, call him punk.
Stop saying their names now. I hate that.
Let's see with the Paul
Triple H. Levec or whatever. I'm like,
huh, come on. He's just Triple H.
We know who he is.
It's business reasons.
Yes.
He's a businessman now.
David Preece,
he comes back to life and he's barely
hanging in there. Drew as well. He goes
and picks him up south of heaven.
So he looks at Damien's face.
He knows he's mad at himself.
He's like, fuck.
And Drew seriously looked, beat up and dazed still.
And he's also like, fuck.
I think they even said something to each other.
I think Drew probably told him, you know, don't worry about it when they were kind of laying there.
Yeah, Damien's like looking up with the sky and giving that fuck look.
and
punk is still
sitting on the table
Drew's laying there in the middle
dead
well he's still the champ
and Seth finally comes back to life
and he's just standing there
or leaning on the
the ring mad
and punk is still
still sitting there
and then all of a sudden
he's talking to Drew
back and forth talking shit
and then
he turns to
Seth
and then they start
talking shit. I wish there
were some mics on them
because punk is just sitting on the
on the announce table and Seth comes walking over
and Corey's dumb ass like he could do something.
Does it make you not like
Seth? No one of his best friends.
Yeah.
Punk. He's
stood up on the table.
We need that match now.
We already got the Drew one. Okay,
we saw, but we'll talk about that later.
Oh, man.
I'm waiting for them to go at it.
I figured they would have been first after
Punks returned the way Seth
was going off.
I think it worked out this way.
Yeah. They had some
legendary moments back and forth, him and
Drew. Yeah.
Even, what's his name I brought up earlier, Jack Perry.
Yeah.
I guess Drew took a picture with him and tagged punk on it on social media.
They're just sitting there arm around each other smiling.
He might have even said something about real glass or some shit to be funny.
Well, CBS Sports gave this one an A.
I was with it.
I mean, we knew punk was coming.
We knew at one point
McIntyre was going to come out.
Because after when he won that case,
I was like, please come out tonight.
Don't hold on to it, but, and he did.
And I really was confirmed with it when
Damien and Seth kept looking to see,
or not Dan, yeah, to see if Drew was going to come.
And all right, I said he's going to come out at some point.
all right on to the next match which i was ready for i wanted it i thought i was shocked that
it didn't lead off with this with the uh the women's ladder match yeah they probably
knew this one was going to go harder so they kind of probably saved it yeah because all in this
one. It is
shit,
I wasn't that lost it already.
The women's money in the bank ladder match.
Eoskeye,
Chelsea Green,
is it Lyra or Laura?
Lyra.
Valqueria. Yeah.
And Tiffy Time, Tiffany Stratton,
Naomi and Zoe Stark.
I always say this, women go
harder and they did.
They really went. They did.
Zoe went hard.
Every match I see Tiffany in, I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan.
Yeah.
I got more respect for Chelsea Green in this one for taking some of the bumps she did.
Yeah, she was there.
I was kind of like, really, why is she here?
And we saw, other than the comedy, the comic relief.
That's all I thought she was going to do.
But then she started getting in there taking some bumps.
I was like, okay.
Yeah.
It would have been really fucking cool if she had won with the assistance of her husband.
That would have been a cool moment right there.
But to me, she would be, out of all of them, she was an all-star.
The women that won, I picked her right out of the gate.
So I was like, I hope she wins.
She did.
But, yeah, man, she took that hard bump.
um i'm sorry uh zoe um who does she throw okay she's i think which which one now the first one on the back of her head
oh where she she she drove lyra arm first on the liar laura's arm caught that ladder and you can tell she was hurt
yeah okay yeah because when she did that flip she like the back of her head bas slammed on that ladder hard
when she came out at Comic-Con
she was like, hey, everyone, everyone,
I love you, and everyone was chairing and all that.
Then when I got quiet, I said, how's your head?
She goes, I'm good.
So, yeah, man, when that happened during this match,
I was like, oh, fuck.
At first thought, she did just roll out of the ring,
but I was like, oh, man, I was just like,
don't hurt yourself because I wanted her to do good.
And when she did, man, she bounced back.
The other thing I love is Eoske or any of the Japanese women.
How they get all mad start yelling at them.
Yeah.
Their English is kind of hard to understand.
Did you catch her match outside of WWE?
Recently?
Yeah.
No, I saw clips, but I haven't seen the whole thing.
We have not seen EEO.
go hard in
WWE yet I'll just put it at that
Yeah she was fucking going
hard
And AJ his match he had
In Japan too
Uh huh
AJ's holding back
But I thought wait
Oh shit
Oh shit
What happened to I'm fired
AJ
That didn't happen
I don't remember
That was a week
gendie all right i quit i quit or yeah i quit i was like oh i quit i was like he got fired no that i quit
match oh man oh man but yeah anybody hasn't seen those matches i recommend people go
find find them some way and watch them yep oh zoie stark she's uh bringing it to lyra
you man but don't don't paint your face because that design you're doing is doesn't look good unless
it means something at her but and she's a a little gal she's taller or shorter than me but because when
i saw her comic con i was like i thought she was taller so i guess all these women are really short
but i see her being uh some kind of champ i mean everyone always wins tag team
belts at some point.
But I want to see her in a
single belt because I think she can
really bring it to them.
I think what's her name will be a champ
here within a few years?
A liar of Valkyria?
Yeah.
She's doing good, man.
Anybody that takes, what does
that move, Nia gives the eradicator?
Ooh. Anybody takes that
the way she did at
the queen of the ring match?
Queen Naya
It's more than Queen Naya now
We'll get to that
Yeah
Zoe picks up
Lyra and then throws her back
Kind of like a Simone drop
And Lyra just slams her arm on the
The ladder hell-hard
All right this is where Zoe does that flip
And hits her but then bangs her head
she's grabbing the top rope she bounces up does that flip and she completely missed
but her head didn't miss the the ladder she uh overshot yeah i just saw it she complete
the viral in that ladder that was way too close to the the ropes yeah
because so he hit that shit hard in the back of her head and then
Naomi comes and slams her into the ladder again.
And then kicks her in a face.
Oh, one of my buddies said,
damn, she looks like that lady Grimlin and Grimlins too.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my, damn.
Just because of her green hair.
I was like, no, come on.
That little Grimony ain't got ass like this.
Sorry, if there's any women listening to this.
Oh, man.
I love Naomi, but come on, do something with her.
give her the belt again and not for just a night but that wasn't her fault she would make a good uh whenever
they decide to do this mid-level champ championship belt she'd be a good one to get get the
title off the off the first time yeah Tiffany Stratton came in the ring boom picked up uh
fuck what's her name they only yeah who was the other one with the the the
Bunkardactyls, the, I want to
wrestle. I think we brought this up before and we
still couldn't remember her name.
Shit, someone's probably yelling it. But yeah, she,
no good.
Naomi was the choice and
she's badass every time. They brought her back for the rumble
so she could get thrown out in 30 seconds.
I was waiting for my gal to run in there.
Oh, no, was it this year when
our truth
ruined it
when
oh yeah
Sarah Logan
mother wall holler
yeah
she's having another baby now
man
I mean I get it cool
I have a family
but
stay in the ring
where's her figure
I was hoping for that
we didn't get no reveal of it
but
yeah Tiffany's
drattened
she she was bringing it to him
and then the swan ton
off the
top into the to the three there on down on the floor she's she's the whole package to me beautiful
young woman uh she looks like she's taller than me and man she is lately been kicking ass i mean
when i first when she first came on i was like ah good looking good looking gal and i think
they said she's only been wrestling two years well she's really making uh time i mean she must
really, really practice, so that's good
to get to her
level now.
And Chelsea Green, just
doing her thing.
Yeah.
Eos slamming
around with the ring.
I like Eio. She's cute, but what's her name
is? Her new look.
Kyrie?
Kyrie Seine.
She's
probably one of the wackiest
wrestlers I ever seen just the way she acts.
It's like she's constantly in her own world.
I like her new look now. I didn't, I thought she was cute with a little white pirate suit,
but no, I like her.
Oh, stomping on. I got a ladder hanging upside down from the ladder.
Stomping her in the face. Yeah.
One of those looked like it connected hard.
Eels climbing up to the top slowly.
Laver comes back in action.
Yep.
Boo!
Power bam.
Off the ladder.
Zoe comes in.
Super kicked to Lyra.
She falls down.
Everyone's dead.
Zoe's the only one in the ring.
But yeah,
heel, man.
That was a hard bump.
Off the ladder.
See, Zoe could have jumped up
and climbed the ladder.
Because nobody's moving.
Everyone's laying there.
The only one looks like she's ready to bring in action.
is Naomi
Well, look at Zoe
Can't even climb the ladder.
Nope, here comes
Oh, when she sees Tiffy
All of a sudden she climbed
a ladder now.
Naomi jumped into the ring.
She's positioning a ladder
next to it, another one.
Zoe and Tiffany are just
kind of messing around with each other.
Whoa, oh.
Need of the
face, Naomi to Tiffany Stratton, Zoe comes around.
She gets the boot.
And Naomi, what are you doing, climbing up both ladders?
But then the other...
She can do this.
Chelsea, Tiffany Stratton and Zoe Stark were going at it.
Now, Naomi's still both legs on the ladders doing the splits.
And she jumps off and does a flip to Zoe Stark.
and Naomi, she's starting to climb the ladder.
She's going up.
Tiffany Stratton comes back to life.
Barely get her hands on the briefcase for some reason.
Yeah, you could have went up one more step in one, but no.
Tiffany Stratton starts beating up Naomi and throws her out of the ring.
Ow, she landed.
But first onto that ladder when Naomi got thrown out.
Tiffany Stratton was about to claim.
Naomi came back to life, pulled her out of the ring, slammed her into the
the barricade. Chelsea
Green's right there.
Oh, that's EO. She's laying over there by the
stairs. I didn't know they were
had Prime as an advertisement.
Yeah, the boys. That was there
a whole time.
Yeah, man.
See, now Naomi's going
under the table
or under the ring
to get some
tables. She's pulling out of
the tables. Chelsea
Green Springs brings in the life, slams
Naomi into the stairs Tiffany Stratton starts moving things around
then they can start setting up the tables
Chelsea and Tiffany
man drink of water my throat's all dry now
there's a big fire in our area
oh there's a fire yeah I mean there's in the smoke that's in the air
and it's hot in this room so I'd open the window
I don't smoke anymore I mean smoky's bad boys and
I'll stay waving cigarettes, killers.
But
I got that cotton mouth.
I've been smoking cigarettes all day.
It sucks, man.
I mean, the fire here is
not near us, but we're getting
all the smoke.
Some stupid ass decided to
light his car and fire and push it down this
little ravine with all
the dry weeds and everything and it just
ignited everything.
Eo springs back in action. She jumps on
the ladders Zoe Stark's up
there
Chelsea Green comes back to life
Tiffany is back
in it
Lyra's still on the ladder
they're setting up the ladders
between the
one in the middle and putting it on the second
rope. Eio and Chelsea are going at it
hey I got more than
three girls in the in the ring
yeah guys this is how you do it
yeah
now they're setting up another ladder on the other
side. Chelsea Green gets hit in the face
of the ladder. She falls down.
They're all in there except for Naomi's
dead on the outside.
Tiffany Stratton
takes it to the face
with the ladder.
Lyra climbs up, almost gets the
briefcase, but Zoe starts pulling her down.
Kick Valkyria.
Lyra kicks Zoe.
She falls down. She gets to
the top. Could have easily undid
it. But nope. But
Then Zoe Stark grabs her and just slams Lyra Valcaria back first onto the ladder.
And then she rolls out of the ring and she's laying there flipping and flopping like a dead fish.
Zoe sets the ladder back up again.
Usually once the ladder goes down, that's it.
But no, they're bringing that back in because here comes Naomi.
She's bringing in action.
Oh, big kick to the back of Zoe Stark's head.
Slams her
Naomi slams her head
Against the ladder
Naomi starts climbing the ladder
Nobody in the ring
She could easily won right here
But nope
Here comes Chelsea Green
She jumps up
Grabbing Naomi starts pulling her down
Punching her in the butt
Naomi falls down
I'm gonna do nothing
Yeah
Too much patting there
Chelsea Green
Climes back up the ladder
Starts banging Naomi's head
under the ladder. Chelsea's like
slowly balancing
on the ladder. All right now.
We just perfectly lock arms.
Is she
does some kind of like
bounce move and just slam?
What's his name's
finisher? A Christian.
Oh, okay.
Was it the unprettier or whatever?
So they're both laying there in the ring.
Here comes Zoe Stark. She springs back into action.
and reposition is the latter.
Could have easily won right here,
because no one's near her,
almost to the very top.
Grab the case.
Here comes Eio Shari,
whatever you want to call her.
She unhooked it and could have easily pulled it down.
Eio was climbing up, but no.
And now they're both holding on to the,
not the, well, the, the briefcase and the hook.
See, this is what I was talking about earlier.
You can have more than one person go for the case.
Yeah.
See, that's why the gals go hard.
Uh-oh.
Zoe's looking around.
Got Eo by the head.
Goes over for the...
Whoa.
Now she's going to flip her over, but now I...
E.O. came back to life.
Now she's picking up Zoe Stark by the head.
About to do just backslim.
Oh.
uh oh zoi came down from this camera angle looked like it hit her head and then she kind of stood up dazed and falls out of the ring
but eo just as well she took a hard one onto the ladder because she's on her knees screaming
ah she should have yelled my oh but that's a queen highest look at chesley look at his hustle
yep she jumps in the ring she could have easily won right here no one was around she closed
climbed all the way up there had it in her hands it could have easily pulled it right there
but there comes Tiffany stradden she climbs up the ladder uh there's two ladders side by side
Chelsea's like oh no she climbs up a little high Tiffany pushes her disches through the two tables
she did a good job she did a good job protecting the back of her head on that one yeah but
she she was the all-star she took the most
bumps and she had some comedy
in there and this gave
Tiffany Stratton enough time
to be Tiffy in the bank
or whatever she calls herself now
Have you seen her case?
No, I haven't.
Naya, because you know they're
buddies now because I guess she's
Nia's little Barbie
or something.
Nia got her custom
pink case and it has like
a strap. It almost looks like it's a
purse. Yeah, I did see that.
okay take one of these little lozions my throat up yeah i thought they're still celebrating everybody's dead
i thought it was good um i was like don't cash it in tonight hold on to it so we'll see um they gave this
match a b plus i'd give it an a because they went hella hard they gave the men an a right
Oh
Yeah, I gave me a minus now, man
This was this was a plus action
I'd actually swap those grades
Because they went
They went way harder
I mean the guys were going hard too
But man these gals were beating the hell out of each other
Slamming each other on the
On the ladders
And they took way more hard bumps
There's so many dead bodies around the ring
Oh, Eo came down right on her ass.
Yeah.
Michael Cole's out of his chair looking away for some reason.
Ooh.
All right, I had to watch that again.
When she goes off, she hits part of the ladder, one of the steps,
but it's really close to the other ladder, so there's no kind of give.
so that was just ass-boned to aluminum
yeah Michael Cole
look I thought he was going to jump over the barrier
and Chelsea Green taking that hard bump
yeah she definitely threw her hands by her head
I mean good for her I mean safety first
but she's taking bumps like that
because she before she came to
came back to WWE she was doing stuff
in GCW with her husband
I haven't seen her take a fall like that from a ladder, though.
That was, that was crazy.
Not just to tables, but to the outside on some tables.
Yeah.
But this was a good one, man.
I liked it more than the guys.
So, but, yeah, B plus they gave it.
Nah, I'm giving it an A plus.
All righty.
On to the main event.
Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton,
Kevin Owens versus the,
bloodline.
It was okay.
This was a throwaway match.
Yeah. This should have opened.
Yeah. I mean, it should have ended with the gals.
They was like they didn't.
I was like, really? That's what we're doing now.
And really didn't do much for me.
No, it didn't do nothing for me. It gave me a good laugh when somebody
botched a low low
and the fuck you solo
chance they were they were going hard
I think that but I will say
I think they're doing a good job of building
him as his heel you know
with the suits and the claim
to be the tribal chief which nobody
believes he's the tribal chief
uh shout out to the people with the signs
not my tribal chief
I love all that
but when people
changed it real quick though
everybody's
yeah now they channel we want
Roman exactly
and they yeah we'll talk about the next one
I was like hmm
I was riding with Roman since
since day one my fingers in the air
but and some of you said might be listening
I know you guys were chanting
fuck you Roman and now are chanting
we want Roman yeah
and that
wow
was a little bit too loud.
It's usually like it wasn't booing and boring.
But if he becomes phase, okay.
I think he'll be like a stone cold or, you know,
something like that kind of in between.
Yeah.
Because he can't, he can't go full face.
That they work too hard on this,
this, this new Roman that came.
back this tribal chief or version to kind of go back to what he was before then it doesn't make
sense i think a lot of people didn't care for him this is just for my friends to i have a like i said i was down
for him all the time face run he'll run everything and was that mad that he lost of course i was but i was
happy for cody um but i don't know i think he'll be good for a while and hopefully people will
I mean, he does have his fans.
I mean, when I go to the events, I do see
Roman shirts for you hardcore guys
with the Shield shirts, which I still rock
as well.
But I don't know.
We'll see what happens.
I think hopefully at some point
I want to see him as Cena go at it.
Yeah, that has to be
one of those kind of final matches.
And I don't know what
Triple H is cool with
uh, Brock.
I heard he's
most likely going to come back.
Even after all the
craziness with Vince McMahon.
I think
that I just
heard some things. I think
not here soon, but eventually
he'll come back.
He needs to fight Gunther.
I'd like to see that.
That was supposed to be
what was it last
WrestleMania?
yeah it wasn't supposed to be uh him and um sammy but all that craziness happened so i don't know we'll see
but yeah this mismatch was just was pretty much a throwaway i just i just like that we got
to see more jaco because i've been a big fan of his watching him on the indies
Yeah, I mean, I'm with you.
It was more to showcase them, so.
They brought Jacob as trying to bring Zillifatoo now.
He's an even younger one that gets in there and wreck shit.
Well, we'll see what goes on with this one.
I mean, they did get three guys good ones.
I mean, Randy Orton and K.L. and Cody Rhodes.
I mean, Cody Rhodes could have took them all on himself, but.
we'll see uh randy's at the end right yeah i think so yeah i mean he can he can retire now
yeah i mean and you can make your appearances at the rungle or whatever
come back and rough someone up but he'd been at this for a long time so he could take a break for a few
years then come back but yeah man the bloodline man all these guys
man they they're wild and crazy
and who's
a guy in the suit
uh
Tongaloa
yeah
he's not had a good
no
right here
which is weird
because I
know him and
uh
Tamatanga
his brother
I know them from New Japan
I think they were
uh
the guerrillas of destiny
was their team
and they were tearing
shit up
I don't know maybe if he's just nervous or what it is,
but he has not looked good since he's showed up.
I think that's why he's in the suit on the side.
But man, how do you fuck up a low blow?
Fartu's my favorite out of these guys.
I like him, but we'll get to him the next episode.
yeah that that low blow at the end of this was was not good I'm not that big of a fan solo even when they brought him up I'm like okay I mean better in NXT when he was the street champ he was just like a rough and tough guy that fought in the streets and then he became the enforcer for Roman which was fine
Where do they have him booked out of?
I mean, when they announce him, it's not San Francisco like his brothers.
Honestly, I never pay attention when Solo comes out.
I don't even really like his song.
I'm like, why aren't you yelling San Francisco?
He was born there, but I don't know.
We'll see.
But I think as a heel, I think they're getting him over with the whole
tribal chief because I like when he tries to do the acknowledge me thing to the crowd and they
just like boo the shit out of him and he just like looks around and I'm like what who you want
they just stop doing the one the one the one love finger I mean I don't know
when Roman came out oh shit man we'll get to that one all those fingers were mine went up
so but yeah again there was
was nothing really exciting in this until the botched low blow which was lame yeah like i agree with
you this was this was to showcase i think certain members of the bloodline because we we know what
kevin owens can do we know what randy orton can do cody solo we've seen them so i think this
was the showcase tomatanga and of course jacobotu was the star to me of this match yeah
Zagher, his size, he moves quick.
Well, he was doing good, man.
He was all over the place.
I liked it, man.
I like his little red and black dreads.
I like that.
So, yeah, when they went out,
finally went out into the ring,
out of the ring, and then
they were clearing off the tables.
Cody and Kevin and Randy.
and they're about to pick up solo
so they get him up
you can see something was going to happen
solo keeps looking around
and out of nowhere
Fattu comes flying into
out of the ring
super kicks everywhere in the face
they all start going down
he goes to
I guess spear Kevin Owens
but then Kevin Owens moves
and there's a ref right there for some
reason he slams his head
into the
look like into the stairs
he's laying there
knocked out
and K.O.'s
starting to bring it to everyone.
Stunner, super kicks
to everyone.
Now he's
whooping up
Fartu. He hits him
with the big prime bottle
from the hydration station.
Then he climbs up on to
the barricade.
Luckily that security guy
is paying attention. He jumps off
splash.
Crashed through the table
onto Fautou.
Yeah.
everyone's laying there dead
even the ref
someone I just want someone to slam Corey
just for me
I wish I knew someone I said come on
work him in a way where you guys can slam him
he's he's cleared to wrestle
he can take one
I think at some point
someone's going to take him I want to see him
to knock him out for whatever reason
yeah I could see him getting involved
in that because I think
when punk when he first came back
wasn't Corey, the one holding Seth's back.
Yeah.
So even in the table for a shot, he's just standing there.
And Michael Cole's, ah, hands in the air, dancing and all that.
And Corey's just looking with his arms crossed.
I'm like, you ain't nobody. Fuck you.
So.
Yeah, it's your low blow.
Here we go.
Kevin, I was about to pick him up.
Punches him in a butt.
Yep.
Right in the bunghole.
The Duke,
he reaches under punches.
He says,
brother or his cousin?
Brother.
He punches him.
He's a cussons.
He rocked a bellard.
He's even shaking it.
And here comes Randy Orton.
Dachia.
R.
K.O.
Here comes another one.
R.K.O.
D'Sha.
Here comes solo.
He's jumping in the mix.
He grabs Jordan.
Boo.
Simone.
Spike, but here comes Cody.
He's bringing back to life.
Whoa, which goes for the
Simone Spike misses
Crossroads. As we knew it was over
right here. Picks him up
again. Another crossroads.
Going up for a third one.
At some point
I was thinking, where's Roman? I thought he was going to come
out here. Glad they saved him.
He's going
for a third one. Fatoos jumping in. Springboard.
Ah!
He takes out Cody
They're about to beat him up
He picks him up grabs him by the head
He grabs him by the shorts
Picks him up
Planting
DDT
Face first onto the mat
And he starts screaming
Trying to get solo up
And solo is all dazed
He's not the tribal chief
Shut up Michael Cole
He goes lifting the tribal chief
Shut up
Fatu goes over to pick up Cody
grabs him by the head holding him by the arms solo springs into action about to give him the
simone's bike he's holding cora cody by the face boop gets him in the chest
co Cody drops uh fatu jumps out of the ring throws in the uh the ring the ref one two
three i was surprised they won i for surely thought
they were going to just get beat up but I was like okay I was happy with the ending of this
but again Cody and solo are talking to each other yeah tell so I think I think you
really smoke spike me oh man I don't know here comes the ceremonial lay and that
rough really hanging on in the quarter laid there
I wonder how deep this story, though, get into.
Like, who authorized?
He did himself.
He didn't.
Yeah, but where are the tribal elders?
And why is Jacob so?
I love you, my tribal chief.
I'll die for you, my trial.
Why is he so?
I don't know.
I'm just swinging on his nuts.
They gave this match a,
what the hell was it?
A B.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm right with that.
I mean, it had its moments, but it was kind of just, yeah, like you said, it should have been first.
Yeah, replay of there, Jacob killing the ref.
But I enjoyed it.
I love these matches.
Again, me, for the women.
I'm glad that they're letting them have it now.
It's been a few years now, but I'm glad that they did because before it was.
just the guys and that was it but
I'm cool with what's happening
now but
overall I did enjoy
the match
was happy that
punk came out and whipped up
McIntyre and basically wasted
his money in the bank
so that was cool
we'll see who
Tiffy
in the bank cashes it in on
I don't know yet we'll see
I'm not caught up with the with the shows
so but yeah overall i enjoyed the whole thing
yeah it was it was a fun card it's just
little little problems here and there that can easily be fixed
and like like we talked about that that main event should have should have been the
opener yeah
all right everyone that is it this episode we will be back
with summer slam 24 from where were they
Cleveland.
Oh, that's right.
This is the final Summer Slam.
That would be a one-day event.
After this, they go to two days.
Is that going to be in Indianapolis, too?
Let me see.
Because I know Rumble's going to be there.
If we have any listeners out there, I've been there once.
The airport was way out there, and the area seemed flat.
Because I don't know.
It seemed like downtown was it, all the buildings,
and then the rest was just flat everywhere.
Can't find it.
It seems to jump to 2026, which that of 2026 would be in Minneapolis.
Yeah, I've already got that so far.
Summer Slam, 2025 will be in, yeah, Indianapolis, Indiana.
all right
Lucas Oil Stadium
Has I got a roof
I know these big events
I think they're not
Neither going to be doing
stadiums or warm weather
stadiums
They're not doing
What was it
WrestleMania in Philadelphia
Oh
Where everyone was freezing
Yeah
Triple A so we're not
If it's not a warm weather state
They better have a roof on the stadium
Yeah
Because yeah, everyone looked like they were hella cold.
And shout out to everyone that was way at the top.
I saw those.
We can't call them tweets anymore since it's X, but tweets everyone.
I saw everyone's pictures and everyone bundled up saying it was hell of cold.
No, thank you.
But all right, everyone.
