Starting point is 00:00:06 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. What's up, everybody, that the wrestling returns is back again, SummerSlam, 2023, Detroit Rock City, Tribal Combat. We'll get to all that, but first, I'm your host, Brian. With me as always is my brother, Ness. What's up, man? You know, what's up, everybody? We're back. We should have been back a few days ago, but I live in the sticks. My internet sucks.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Come on. We need fiber wire or whatever the hell that thing is called. My son had it when he was living in the bay. And man, that was the best. I used to go there and just download all my updates, everything, like super quick. But we're up here on the res and this is the best we got. But, oh, really quick before we dive in anything for you. Actors, I saw this a while ago, but I just wasn't hip on her all that much other than I thought she was hot.
Starting point is 00:01:18 But this is before she changed her name. This is from WWE Elite Collection Series 93. First time in the line, Raquel Gonzalez, when she's got the NXT belt. When did she actually change her name? like I think when she debuted on smackdown it was just all of a sudden Rodriguez or something all right
Starting point is 00:01:46 either way she's awesome hot and I got a complaint on this next one I want to say fuck Walmart they shipped my package in one of these little bubble wrap bags should have been in a box they disrespected
Starting point is 00:02:04 mommy Oh, no, no, mommy. And the queen. Man, I... My mommy collection is climbing. I got the three single ones that she has out. But she did a double pack. I'm not really sure when this one actually came out.
Starting point is 00:02:24 This is a series number seven. It's the championship showdown. Ria Ripley versus Charlotte Flair. it's off the card and it was open and loose when I saw that it showed up in one of these bubble wrap bags I was like oh man and then I opened it up and it's like they just
Starting point is 00:02:47 took it off wherever they have all these and just threw it in a bag and sent it out so I wrote to them and they haven't responded to me yet I'm gonna keep it but I just need to get another one because I'm in package guy so but you got to get a dirty down to put like in a back somewhere lurking behind all the mommy's oh yeah i have to and it better say dirty dom but uh i guess uh he said did uh mommy and uh
Starting point is 00:03:21 what did you get married or was it just an engagement announcement i've seen that picture uh it looked like it, but I don't think so. Maybe it was just an engagement or anniversary or something. Come on, dirty dog. I'm getting there. Or is he already married? Oh, gosh, that would have been an amazing picture if you just seen him in the background, like peep around something.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Work it into the story. Bring back Buddy Murphy. But anyway, SummerSlam. 2023. Yeah, like Detroit Rock City. dumb ass kid rock in the beginning I'm sorry everyone Kid rock is garbage
Starting point is 00:04:02 He was all right when he was In the earlier days But then once he went country I mean to each his own My opinion He's garbage now man After Was a history of rock
Starting point is 00:04:17 Or whatever that one album It was an album after devil Without a cause After that one It just went It went downhill for me But anyway We're not here to talk about him
Starting point is 00:04:26 I'm surprised what's her name wasn't there because when she was there I think it was Summer Slam when they were making out the trash Tammy
Starting point is 00:04:36 I love her she's awesome but yeah what did you think of this whole pay-per-view it was up and down for me the opening
Starting point is 00:04:51 was pretty decent a lot of a lot of the matches turned out the way I thought I was happily surprised by the outcome of the women's title match. Oh, yeah. And I kind of saw it coming in the tribal combat match. I kind of seen that coming. I didn't see it exactly that way, but we'll get to it when somebody got involved. I knew he was going to get involved somehow because he was gone for so long.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Yeah, yeah, we'll get to that. I got some things to say about that. And I guess the lows, well, we'll get to it when we get to it. There was one extremely low didn't need to be a part of this paper or whatever. It needed to be a part of it, but it didn't need to do what they did. Yeah. And I'm a, and you know, you know me, as I'm a fan of MMA. So I'm going to speak on that part.
Starting point is 00:05:57 But we'll get to it. Yeah, whatever that one. Okay, whatever. I mean, too, yeah. But anyway, we'll kick it off. Logan Paul versus Ricochet. What's Ricochet's, is his wife or his girlfriend? His fiance.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Okay. She's hot, but whatever her name was. I liked the buildup to it I thought it was cool and what they were doing Two each is on everyone on Logan Paul I didn't really care for him when he first came in Because I didn't really know much of him But I did watch some of his
Starting point is 00:06:39 YouTube stuff and it was like Who the hell is this fool? I mean I don't know man You can come out and And just get famous from being an internet personality or whatever cool do it I think him and his brother were on a Disney show
Starting point is 00:06:57 before you too okay well I've since he's been in the ring man I've enjoyed every time he's been in even when he just shows up to do some spots and when he actually has his matches I mean I'm I'm impressed on how dedicated he is
Starting point is 00:07:14 to get in there and do it because I've said this before there's been plenty people that step in the WWE that aren't wrestlers and just make a fool of themselves. But I think he really puts in the time. He does put in the practice and everything because
Starting point is 00:07:31 his moves are they the greatest? No. But he's proved to me, as a viewer, that he can get in there and not be afraid and go for the hard bumps and go for the hard spots. So I have no issue with him. I mean, I like it. I was rooting for him.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I like Ricochet. He's badass. But I was all about Logan Paul. And speaking of that, Logan Paul, this episode is brought to you by a prime energy drink. And let me crack this open. I know there's a lawsuit up against it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Something about it's too much caffeine in it, but I don't know. I haven't had the other ones because when he came out into the ring, he was holding one of his, I guess the bottle of the water one. I haven't heard that. He got another one, fan-handed ones.
Starting point is 00:08:20 dumped it out of ricochet. They must have gave that kid a couple of them because yeah, he opened one up, took a sip, dumped it on a ricochet, and then went after at the end of the match, when he was walking out, he grabbed another one. But I thought this match was awesome. It was a good way to kick it off, so I was thinking, oh, man, this is going to be a good pay-per-view.
Starting point is 00:08:43 But it kind of went up and down for me. But this match, man, this was awesome. CBS Sports graded it a B. I would have gave it the name. But what did you think of this one? Yeah, I thought it was a great way to start it off. And a smart way to also start it off for Logan because I think I read that he wanted to go on first because he had to get to his brother, Jake's fight boxing match with Nate Diaz.
Starting point is 00:09:11 So he jumped on soon as soon as the match was over, jumped on the plane, went straight there, attended his brothers' fight in his ring gear. so I thought that was pretty cool but yeah everybody did what they needed to do I am a little leery on this match because no
Starting point is 00:09:35 viral moment in my point of view like they've had other times they've met and they kept saying viral moment viral match you know they kept saying viral like over and over and I was just waiting for the big spot and we kind of got one when Logan did the this like a slingshot
Starting point is 00:09:55 clothesline lariat to the outside of the ring that was nice but we just didn't get that moment it was still a great match and Logan in my eyes I think has kind of proven himself worthy of being in that ring and ricochet
Starting point is 00:10:10 he's shown to me and hopefully to WWE why they need to use him more yeah I just kind of wanted to maybe his fiance get involved somehow or maybe the outcome of the
Starting point is 00:10:25 match she refuses to announce the winner's name or something you know something but it it was it was awesome match without all that happening so I like what do you think of his his Hogan Paul move
Starting point is 00:10:45 with the the leg scissor kick or whatever it was When he did it, I was kind of like, okay, that's, that's kind of different. And then when they said, he calls it the Hogan Paul. I did laugh attack. And then he did the Hulk Hogan poses right after. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Rickettsay even did one of the rocks moves for half of it. And then he did the standing moonsault. But I thought it was good. They both went hard. They both were flying high. Yeah. I was also kind of disappointed there wasn't that moment of some awesome.
Starting point is 00:11:25 The whole match was awesome. Don't get me wrong, but something like they did in the previous matches. But that one when he flipped up, when Logan Paul flipped up, ricochet, it looks like he came down on his knee, like wrong because he like, I think he was supposed to do the flip and land on his back.
Starting point is 00:11:47 But he like, in the air he turned. sideways and just came down on the knee. But obviously he was all right because they kept on going. The thing that I love the most about this match is how every chance Logan Paul got.
Starting point is 00:12:01 He would stare at the camera, smile, do some stupid and I even kissed his girlfriend, I guess, or whoever that was at one point. I thought that was funny. Yeah, and I give it up to him too because I've seen a part
Starting point is 00:12:17 of his podcast when he had a Seth Rollins on. And he brought up a real good point that it kind of gets to him a little bit that people are booing him because when they boo other wrestlers, they're booing that character. When they're booing him, they're basically booing him. Yeah. And I give it up to him because I think he's come a long way. I think he's better as a heel than a face. and I yeah his his mic works uh coming around too because when he first came on and he jump on to
Starting point is 00:12:54 mic i just like uh yeah he didn't have it i mean but i mean even if you don't really have the mic skills i mean there's plenty of wrestlers that don't have the mic skills but when they get in the ring they do what they got to do so i'm i'm usually cool with it i mean he he's a guy he's one of those dudes uh when he's got his podcast and everything thing and he says what he says but i guess when you're in the heat of the moment with something like this i think it's probably harder for uh stuff to come with you i mean the throughout the years many many wrestlers i mean there that has been guys that just weren't weren't that good on the mic i mean but i mean you got the greats man you got uh roddy rowdy you got punk
Starting point is 00:13:40 you got the rock stone cold all of them and even the guys now i mean they i mean i love roman rains but is he good on the mic it's up and down he's better now because they yeah had him say less in his case less as far and and they gave him a paul haman so yeah i like that because i just love when paul haman's going off and either acting as shocked or surprised or begging to the other wrestlers he's your tribal chief he's your cousin and all he was That just made me laugh. He was in tears later. Later.
Starting point is 00:14:22 But yeah, this match, man, they went super hard. I mean, I'll give it to any wrestler when they do the flips and the bumps on the edge of, on the outside of the ring on the edge when it's just a steel frame. Oh, man. I mean, that'll hurt anybody. I don't care who you are. I mean, obviously, I know these guys feel it. when they're done because they got the adrenaline going. But once they're like backstage cooling down,
Starting point is 00:14:51 maybe that's when the pain kicks in. If there's any of you indie wrestlers, professional wrestlers that are listening to us, cool right on thank you. Come on the show and let us know how you feel after a match. I mean, I've talked to you a couple guys and they just say, yeah, we don't, we feel it when we're in the ring,
Starting point is 00:15:12 but we'll feel it more later. So, but I loved what these guys are doing. Every chance they got, they would go up high and just crash to the ring or out to that little rubber mat that's on the outside. And that's got no kind of give. So, but overall, man, I gave this match a. I thought it was awesome. And again, I was mad that we didn't get some kind of huge move moment that happened during this whole thing. So I was kind of I thought Rickettsay was going to win.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I thought he was going to win. But he didn't. Logan Paul ended up pulling out via pinfall. But it was it was definitely a fight because these guys did. There was no slow moments during this match. Even when they're on the outside, just throwing each other around. I mean, they kept going hard. And if Rickettet wasn't hurt after this match,
Starting point is 00:16:10 I don't know Because he looked like it Other than his knee And he kept grabbing his side Same thing with Logan Paul Both of them And Logan Paul He's always getting beat up
Starting point is 00:16:19 After every match But he puts a hundred and ten percent in it And he does it And I enjoyed He even took a He had a shiner Under his eye But he kept on going
Starting point is 00:16:30 And Congrats to ricochet For selling that punch With the brass knuckles The way he slumped over I was like Did he Did Logan connect for real?
Starting point is 00:16:43 Who gave it to him? One of his boys, it was the entourage that he came to the arena with. One of his lackeys. Yeah, some nameless guy, Michael Cole was like, I seen that guy earlier today. Michael Cole, hey man, Corey, man. Bring back that one dude. What was that guy that was in the prime bottle? Oh, Ken.
Starting point is 00:17:10 sir yeah bring him back that was awesome I loved every moment of that when he got involved and he got fucked up that was hell awesome but yeah all right yeah again awesome awesome match
Starting point is 00:17:27 all right on to the next one the American nightmare taking on the beast incarnate Brock Lesner it started off a little slow in the beginning because you guys know Brock Leznor he just does his handful of moves
Starting point is 00:17:46 and just F5 German suplexes throws you around and Cody he was trying to do I mean how many times we need to see this but because I was kind of like again but once the match got going
Starting point is 00:18:01 I think at the halfway point to the end for me was when it was it was really exciting so I mean I enjoyed it and at the end the outcome of the whole thing and what happened after the match, I thought that was cool. What did you think of this one?
Starting point is 00:18:18 Yeah, I agree with you. It started off slowly. They were trying to sell this injury. Cody who's been fighting through and Brock's just ragged hauling him all over the place, beating his ass and then
Starting point is 00:18:32 you know, Cody's got a fight out of it. And then he started putting it on Brock to the point where he Tor Brock's Trunks Which Twitter
Starting point is 00:18:45 Kote talking about how everybody couldn't stop looking at it Instead of watching a match When I noticed them
Starting point is 00:18:51 They were ripped I was like Whoa What's happening in here I take it He's not sponsored By Jimmy Johns He doesn't have that
Starting point is 00:18:59 All over his shorts I mean You guys like I love Jimmy Johns Everyone But But I thought it was a nice heart
Starting point is 00:19:09 hit match and they told a great story and I love the outcome. Brock's showing his appreciation. Raised his hand. This is it. I'm hearing they want to keep Brock around until WrestleMania. I think WrestleMania is in Minnesota. Or what's coming up? What's coming up in Minnesota? It's like a big pay-per-view.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Oh, TLCs usually the beginning of the year. There's some pay-per-view in Minnesota that they want to keep him around because there's word that he's hanging it out. And he's from or lives in Minnesota or went to college or something. So I don't know. Every time they need somebody to do a surprise entrance after a championship match, it's always Brock because they always back up that money truck. because they always back up that money truck. Premium events or whatever they call them now. Trying to see what's...
Starting point is 00:20:20 Oh, payback. That's next month on Pittsburgh. And after that, October is Fast Lane and November Survivor Series. So, I know this is one in December, isn't there? Or is they just doing the holiday live shows that they usually do in December? Yeah, it seems like the last year or two. They've been skipping December.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Okay. Well, we got three more, boys and girls. Well, other than all the NXT stuff and everything as well. I don't know if we had mentioned this. I'm looking at one of the side things. Rest in peace to I and chic. Yeah. But, yeah, man, this one, man, they were going for it,
Starting point is 00:21:08 especially uh, Cody Rhodes. He was just selling everything he had to do. But, like when he was getting his ass beat, but, all right,
Starting point is 00:21:24 everyone, we're back. I don't know. I'm going to say this on my side. Like, I was complaining about it earlier with the internet. Because the last,
Starting point is 00:21:34 uh, East society we did, it kept stopping on us. I had to do some editing to put that thing back together. But, surprised they didn't do it when we did our
Starting point is 00:21:45 three hour insidious show I guess you guys We needed We needed to talk about insidious I guess But yeah For that thanks
Starting point is 00:21:56 Everyone to listen to that one Thanks man That was That was a long one I'm gonna do a little A bonus backup I did see the red door And I do want to talk about it
Starting point is 00:22:08 And we'll be three hours But I just want to have some things to say about it. But anyway, but yeah, Cody Rhodes, he ended up pulling it out at the end of this match. CBS Sports graded it in A.
Starting point is 00:22:22 It didn't start out as an A. It was a little rough in the beginning, but once it got going and when it got to the end, it was a good, it was a good match. All right, this one I didn't even know was going to happen. The SummerSlam Battle Royal.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I knew who was going to win when he came out and how hyped everybody was when he did come out. He better won. If they were to let Omas win, I ought to have been hell of mad. I mean, I like Omas, but no, because when that four, the Nigerian giant came out, everybody just rushed him. And he threw out the first few guys. A little shorty G, he was in there doing it. I like him or is he Chad Gable now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:11 And the Viking Raiders and, um, uh, what's, uh, uh, Shody G and notices the, what are they called? Um, something's, um, someone's yelling it. Yeah. Uh, I thought they did a good job when they were both in there. And dumb ass Austin theory. I hate him. I'm glad he got thrown out. But should.
Starting point is 00:23:42 champ of the future. Oh, fuck. Carrying Cross, man. He was in there rough and fools up. Same thing with Bronson Reed. He was doing the same thing, man. He was just beating the hell out of each other.
Starting point is 00:23:58 And L.A. night, yeah, man, he was going off too. And everybody was hooting and hollering when he came out. Because I think he was only one of him, him and no Moss and I. Maybe there was another one that got an entrance. And everyone was chair. everyone else just came out because I was like, all right.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Is he the first one out? And then they show the ring and everybody's already in the ring. What did you think of this one? It was a nice little filler match. Definitely the right person won because I think, I think the internet would have blew up if he didn't win, especially after everybody wanted him to win money in the bank. And I was a little disappointed on it that it was almost.
Starting point is 00:24:41 entering because I try to post like stuff on in the Facebook group. And one of the rumors was Randy Orton or Bray Wyatt were going to make their return. And we got Omas. No, no disrespect to Omas, but just wasn't a big shock to me seeing him come out. Yeah, Matt Riddle, a 420, bro. again, I knew who was going to win And I was almost I was cool with it But I did want
Starting point is 00:25:17 Uh Matt Riddle to go a little bit longer And you guys all know how much I hate Dumbass Austin theory If he would have made it to one of the final two And I would have been A hell of mad I was
Starting point is 00:25:33 Uh Did you, Did you watch this live? No, I didn't know. I was gone. I was out of town. I watched it. If he would
Starting point is 00:25:43 If he would have won, I sure would have spoiled this for you. I would have been sending you awesome dairy stuff. Oh, I would have been hell of mad. I was like, oh. But this is going to be,
Starting point is 00:25:56 what's his name? Pete Dune, butch, whatever you guys want to call. He was in there doing some, doing some work too, man. I thought he was,
Starting point is 00:26:06 I love him. He's awesome. But he lasted a while. but they throw them out eventually. Same thing with AJ Stiles. And he was in there, he was putting in work. He kind of made it almost,
Starting point is 00:26:21 almost to the end. The guys that came out that had an entrance other than Omas, I think those were the ones you knew were going to kind of last. But when Omas picked up Matt Riddle and Pete Dune, man, and I was like, no, Oh, not two awesome guys that I like when I ended up throwing them out.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I like how they did the, Chad Gay. I like how they did the thing that they always have to do. Like everybody figures out, let's work together and get the big guy out. Almost choke slammed Chad Gaywell hell hard. I mean, because he's a small guy. And he picked him up hell of high. he just bounced hell hard. I like Omos when he comes in and just stuff like this and just Rex House.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I mean, when he does the singles matches, it doesn't, he can't do much. I mean, is he there for his wrestling skills? No, to my opinion, he's more there just for his size. But I did like him when he was the backup for AJ Styles. I did like all that, but eventually we all know. Oh, speaking of not backup, but Big E, is he done? Because I know the doctors said he had to stop. From what I understand, they haven't announced it, but that's what I'm hearing.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, Biggie, I met him once. He was ill cool. I, I met all of them. It was at Comic-Con one year, the whole new day. But yeah, it took everyone to throw. out uh, omas.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Because they had the whole, how many, like 10 of them all ganged up and, and threw them all out. So I thought that was cool. I thought he was going to kind of at least not go all the way to the end, be, one of the like the,
Starting point is 00:28:21 the final four or whatever before. But, um, like I said, we all knew who was going to win because they've been hyping them up a lot, a lot like he should, he should have won, uh,
Starting point is 00:28:34 money in the, was he, and he was in the money. the bank match, wasn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we both said it. We thought he was going to win, but it didn't turn out that way.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I got a question. You think they're going to put a title on him? Because I feel like the company doesn't like when wrestlers get themselves over naturally. I feel like they don't really push those wrestlers like a member, Rusev. And the fuck was his name, Matt Cardona, before he was. Matt Cardona. What was that? Yeah, how they got themselves over by themselves and just never really got pushed.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah, I mean, Zach Radder, man, I thought he was awesome. He was good in the ring, but he, like you said, he got himself over with the crowd. With everything he did and being the Internet champion and all the stuff that he was doing on the side, YouTube stuff and everything and all that. He got hyped up like that. So I thought it was cool. I was glad I said this before on one of the shows. I was happy that I was at WrestleMania when he won the Intercontinental Belt.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Because I was, that was earlier in the, on the card. But it was still awesome to be there to see it. Like, all right, it finally gets some kind of recognition. Then shortly after got let go. But now he's the king of the Indies wearing his Indiana Jones hat. he was here I heard because his wife or a girlfriend or whoever she's uh she was there
Starting point is 00:30:14 but yeah we're getting down to I'm watching this everyone as it's going we're getting down to the end LA night just uh pulled out and strong armed uh Bronson Reed and threw him out right now okay it's AJ style of Seamus and LA night still going on in this
Starting point is 00:30:35 Seamus, I mean, he's been around. I'm glad that he's still around. I didn't like the dumb haircut he had after he did that Turtles movie, but. It was a lot better than when he had the, the beaded braids in his beard. No, I didn't like any of that. I did like it when he was with, what's his name, though? He was, before the brawling brutes, who was he with?
Starting point is 00:31:05 Oh, Cesarro? Yeah. The bar? I like to. Yeah. Yeah, I liked all that. I thought that was cool. Bring back Cesaro.
Starting point is 00:31:12 But anyway, yeah, carrying, oh, I forgot carrying crosses there. He just got tossed out. So now it's Seamus in L.A. night. So, but when it came down to the final two, I was like, all right. Give me a good show because I already know who won. And the L.A. night. Yeah. The crowd was hyped for him.
Starting point is 00:31:35 When he came out and then when he got to the final, the final two, Oh man everybody was on their feet Waiting and they were ready So I thought that was really cool That really got me Juiced up If Seamus would have been all right with it But I was like nah
Starting point is 00:31:51 He LA nights got to win Don't let him get this far Just to get beat Not to say Shamis is a job or anything But nah just Shamish has been there a while He's had his belts
Starting point is 00:32:05 And he's had his moments and everything It's L.A. night's time Yeah, he's, Seamus is not a jobber. He's more like a, what's the term, gatekeeper? Like, he's a good, good test for those coming up. I mean, but he puts him to work, man. He still does what he has to do. And I still like him.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And I have to say, as much as I like L.A. night and everything that's going on with him, his music's so stupid and generic. Yeah, he just, all right, he just, uh, clotheslined, uh, Seamus out of the ring. And the place went wild. All right. I was watching stuff on, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:51 whatever, Twitter, whatever you want to call it now. There's a guy, there's a gentleman in the front row with a green shirt. I know that Leonard guy, I don't know if he was there.
Starting point is 00:33:03 I haven't seen him in the past few, uh, pay-per-views. There's, there's certain, fans in the WWE universe that are at every pay-per-view.
Starting point is 00:33:15 So, I mean, I don't know. There was something going on on X about that. It was nothing bad, but it was, I don't know, they were saying this guy is always at everything. And I guess he always wears the same green shirt. I never, I just don't,
Starting point is 00:33:30 I didn't notice him until this one. So I don't know. I guess now I've got to keep an eye out. Well, I know there was a guy. I swear, more than two or three wrestlers like stop in front of them and posed or something like this guy in the the aisle of the entranceway that he was like holding up different signs and they kept stopping like the one that picks uh comes out in my mind is uh when um drew mcintyre like stopped and like stood in front of them and they both were all like yeah and i just just noticed everybody kept stopping and like high-fiving him. So I was wondering if he, maybe he's, I don't know, friends with somebody.
Starting point is 00:34:19 There was, is it the guy that when Cody Rhodes walked out, he stopped and signed something, his sign or whatever? Okay, that one, all right, yeah. Yeah, I don't know who that is. I mean, you guys know, let us know. But I was happy with this one. CBS Sports gave it a B.
Starting point is 00:34:37 No, this was an A. I thought it was good. Good fun. All right. Go ahead. It was good fun. Yeah. And I liked that it went by really fast.
Starting point is 00:34:48 It didn't like take forever to get to the end. Because it was like fools who were getting thrown out left and right. And then next thing you know it was over with. All right, everyone. This next one. MMA rules. Oh, my gosh. The baddest woman on the.
Starting point is 00:35:08 planet. Rowdy Ron the Rousey against the Queen of Spades. Shana Bazler, my girl. I hated both of their face makeup. I just didn't like it. I'm sorry. It was kind of distracting
Starting point is 00:35:24 for me. CBS Sports gave this one a B. What? I'm sorry. A C. My bad. My bad. I was looking at Bazler. I would have gave this one more like a D minus. It was borderline F for me, but I like the outcome.
Starting point is 00:35:43 That's why I'm okay with it. But what was the point of this? Was this supposed to be Rhonda's last hurrah before she stays home? I'd give this match a F. And if this is Rhonda's last match in WWE, they did not give a fuck about her at all. This match was stupid. The crowd was dead through this entire match.
Starting point is 00:36:15 And people are interested to see an MMA fighters wrestle in WWE, not fight MMA fight, because they know it's not going to, it's not the real deal. Yeah. And it made no sense. The outcome, I knew who was going to win, but just, just, there was just nothing. to it. It was Shana. They grappled a bit, kind of throwing each other around. Rhonda did her arm bar thing over and over, but Shana has been her friend and training partner so long that she knew how to get out of it. And then Rhonda gets choked out, unconscious, and then somehow wakes up instantly when the match is over. And then they, There's just there's no nothing between them it's like they
Starting point is 00:37:17 Shane just leaves and Rhonda's just sitting there looking sad and that that's the last we see of Rhonda maybe maybe you should leave WWE because that's not the way to send you out. The buildup for this was more exciting
Starting point is 00:37:34 than the actual match. Yeah. I mean I love Shane and she ain't the greatest on the mic but it was at least entertaining. Yeah, the whole video, video, what do you call vignettes? Those were good. Shana was
Starting point is 00:37:50 busting out tears talking about, you know, Ronda's daughter is my goddaughter and she's going to grow up hating me for what I'm going to do to her mom. I'm like a lot of that stuff was good stuff, but this match was, it was pointless.
Starting point is 00:38:07 This is whoever wrote this article on CBSports.com. I'm not going to read the whole thing. This is just the last paragraph. MMA style matches are very hard to pull off and is especially visible as someone who regularly covers combat sports.
Starting point is 00:38:20 This match was a mixed bag. Rousie and Bazelor seemed willing to lay in their shots which made moves like the head kick really pop. The format was also changed from the typical
Starting point is 00:38:35 W.W.E. Formula. Unfortunately, there were a lot of disappointed scrambles. The medical intervention was a head scratcher that should have been resulted in a stoppage victory. Yeah. They both, they both did
Starting point is 00:38:50 leave this with some with some bumps and bruises. Shane had a black eye. Rhonda was pretty roughed up as well. But when they were punching each other, you can clearly see.
Starting point is 00:39:06 If you've seen both of these these women in the octagon fighting, I mean, yeah, they're in their fighting and they're really, really punching them, giving it their all. This one, it just looked. I didn't mind the grappling. I thought that was cool. But when they were punching each other, it just did not look.
Starting point is 00:39:25 You didn't like the, uh, ah, ah, ah, uh, or whatever Rhonda was doing, throw punches. Uh-uh. I just, I didn't like the whole punch. They should have just grappled and threw each other around and just added in the, the wrestling element if they could. The only thing that looked good was when Shane it through the head kick. Yeah. That was the only thing. I mean, the grappling was good, but just like you said, the punches, they were all weak.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And they clearly were not trying to hurt each other with those. And I'm glad that whoever wrote that article pointed that out because technically, if the doctors come in, like the way they did, that's the stoppage. Or Rhonda's the winner. I don't know I mean they they took the hard bumps like you said and Ronda did leave her Shane did leave with
Starting point is 00:40:19 you could see something happened under her eye but the next day is when we saw the bruise and the swelling and everything and Shane is always in there with her black mouth piece which I love
Starting point is 00:40:32 but she got mad and threw it at her so but I don't know even the leg kicks and everything they were they were just weak. I mean,
Starting point is 00:40:44 I hate Rhonda trying to sell them. Just having to step away real quick because it hurt. Yeah. It's like they just barely kicking. I mean, when they were swinging at each other, at least that was a little harder. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:03 yeah, Shane just did that head kick. It was kind of hell of slow. Ron, it could easily gotten out of the way if this was, this was a real fight, but anyway, you do what you got to do.
Starting point is 00:41:15 I just, the crowd felt it. You could hear them. You heard one guy clearly. He was like boring. And then they're boring. This is boring. And all that started. And the crowd, like nobody was into it.
Starting point is 00:41:31 You could just see everyone getting up to go get a drink or whatever or go to the bathroom while these two women were in there giving it. They're all. There's the Leonard guy. He wasn't. in the front row it was like in the second anyway
Starting point is 00:41:43 but yeah this match I mean I love both of them Rhonda is she's badass I wouldn't want to fight it I wouldn't want to fight Shana either but it just I don't know who green lit this match and said it was gonna be all right
Starting point is 00:41:58 because it just was it was not good oh I think that's when this is a Summer Slamm match yeah oh that's when Shana took it to the she had that um
Starting point is 00:42:09 she's set up ronda perfectly put that leg out so she can run up and jump and step on it and just boom need shana right in the face right under her her left eye she took that that kick and i think that's what gave her the black eye shana looked like she was going to cry at one point towards the head but um dollars for donuts i think ronick would beat the shit out of shana basil in real life what do you think Yeah, she, Rhonda, the track record speaks for itself. I mean, Shana was doing it way before Rhonda was, but she did not have the career that Rhonda had. And I think the record reflects that.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And I think what would be better is maybe you can do the storyline because WWE is not an MMA company that they can't sanction an MMA match. So they put the head gear on. Because I know they've gone hard sparring each other harder than they did in this match. Maybe that way you can get a better outcome. I don't know. I hated this entire tank. She didn't look like she got the worst of it
Starting point is 00:43:29 because the ref kept running up to her every few minutes. You're all right, you're all right? You can clearly see that she was hurt. she shook it off and kept the party going. Rhonda was taking those bumps too, but not as hard as Shana. She was really getting
Starting point is 00:43:49 beat up. But yeah, she ended up pulling it out in the end, which was kind of weak. Yeah, all right, here's the same one. All the, I assume these guys are the medics that are jumping in. And then Rhonda goes off and throws both of them out of the ring. That's going to cost her some money.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Yeah. I was waiting for her to throw the ref out of the way. Because I think this was more of, well, storyline wise. It was more of just they just wanted to fight each other. And just threw her mouthpiece at her. Come on. And then they started with a weak-ass punches. In my point of view, when she threw them the med team down,
Starting point is 00:44:35 Rhonda should have just went full heel and just destroyed Shana. Yeah. And then Shana somehow pulls out of like a sneaky submission move at the very last second it wins. Rhonda just kept trying to get Shana in that arm bar, but Shana knew how to, air quote, counter it. At one point, I thought she tapped. Rhonda, but it didn't turn out, man. She was she was doing it all.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Rhonda was selling it, but it just looked bad. Yeah, I don't know what was happening here. It was kind of a mess. In the end, Rhonda tapped out to Shana. She got her in the, was it the Carefoot Club? Yeah. What's his name's fault? I heard Bobby Rude is a producer now.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Maybe I know SummerSlam was his first thing being one of the producers. Maybe he green lit this match. Yeah. But I mean, I did like the outcome. I mean, don't get me wrong. I love Rhonda, but I like Shana a little bit more. But yeah, because Shana, she pretty much just tapped her out, submitted her. Well, she didn't get, she didn't tap out.
Starting point is 00:46:07 She passed out. And then the ref jumped in and stopped it. But yeah, she like came to hella quick. And Shana, like, hey, she was beat up. I didn't really look into her socials and everything to see how beat up she was. But she can, well, she was hard taking some pain trying to raise that left arm. So, but, but the move of the match is when Shana kicked Rhonda in the head. And when Rhonda needs Shana in the front.
Starting point is 00:46:35 face, which was clearly right on the money because you guys saw Shane out with that black guy. I like how they do the, okay, now live from some other part of the world. You see all these WWE fans just hooting and hollering in some bar. I don't know the time difference. I think that that was cool. I like to go to Germany right after this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:03 And they were, I don't know if they were that. excited for the outcome of the match. I think they were just more excited to be on TV. They probably said, all right, we're going to turn the camera on act hyped. And they were. So,
Starting point is 00:47:17 but all right, this next match, this is the one I was kind of looking forward to, but I don't know. CBS Sports graded an A minus. I don't know, more maybe just a regular B, but this is the,
Starting point is 00:47:34 uh, give it an A. This ain't a continental championship match, Gunther taking on Drew McIntyre. I don't know. I mean, to me, the buildup was more, was more exciting than what was happening. I wanted Drew McIntyre to win, but I assume they're just going to let Gunther hold on to that. You got to break that Hunky Tonk record. Stop trying to break all my, all my legends records.
Starting point is 00:48:07 just just just give us good shows man i'm old everyone i was there for the for the honky tongue man and all those guys but i didn't really care for this match i was kind of back and forth on my phone uh they yeah they give it an a minus and i mean my grade would have been a b but i don't know what'd you think i gave it an a this was a nice hard-hitting match i was brew before the the the ring general working for him to pull it out and yeah this guy shows
Starting point is 00:48:44 that he's he's in there to be a star I mean this guy was doing chops power bombs splashes off the top rope and him then Drew was giving it right back you know he was giving him the what's that head buddy got the Glasgow kiss
Starting point is 00:49:00 giving them all chops back and I just thought it was a good heart It was it was kind of like a almost like a part two of their WrestleMania match You know minus Seamus Just kind of an extension of that match And yeah
Starting point is 00:49:17 Hockey Tongue's record can fall It's it's time Uh huh Yeah Gunther ended up pulling this one out via pinfall But I did like man the way McIntyre Was giving in them chops man Gunther's chest was all starting to get all red and raw.
Starting point is 00:49:39 So, but what's her name look good though? Ajah Smith. Is that her name? Uh, you're a young black referee. Oh. Yeah, you know, I can't remember referee's days. I want to say it's like Ajara. I think you're AJ.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Smith, I know that. Uh, yeah, she looks good. But, yeah, I mean, again, yeah, this match, for me, it was just, eh, it was all right. But they did go hard. I'm not saying they didn't. They did go hell of hard. So, but I was just like, eh, I would have probably liked it more. I think I'm just more mad that Drew McIntyre didn't win because I wanted him to win.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I want another belt on him. I was happy when he was a champ. I was happy that he came back, totally revamped and hell ripped. and they at least pushed him more. I liked the 3MB. I don't care what anyone says. It was goofy, it was stupid, but I still liked it. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Yeah, they gave it an A-minus. All right, this next one. I was there for it. I was ready, but I was kind of disappointed until people got involved at the end. but this is for the World Heavyweight Championship Masses. This is the Monday Night Messiah, Seth Frickin Rollins, taking on Finn Baller. I still see Seth Rollins as a heel.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Finn Ballard, he's the heel in this because of Judgment Day and all this shenanigans he's got going on. I see the judgment day coming to an end pretty soon. And I hate that. I agree with you that I think it's coming to an end soon And I hate that because I like them now Yeah I liked them more when Edge was involved
Starting point is 00:51:45 But once they turned on them But we all see where this is going It's going to be Finn Baller and Damien Priest Battling it out Send your money in the bank Yeah I have a feeling that he's going to cash it in And win at some point Then Finn Baller is going to turn on him
Starting point is 00:52:03 and then at some point we're going to get maybe WrestleMania or whatever we'll get a match between those two I don't know we'll see but yeah keep his judgment day going for a long time but yeah like I said I mean the match it was good they got CBS Sports gave it an A minus
Starting point is 00:52:22 I can agree with that but I just wanted a little bit more and once Damien Priest came walking out and Dominic and Mommy were there I didn't get fuck it was the only time we got to Z mommy but that was good enough for me. That's when it got really exciting on what was going on in this.
Starting point is 00:52:38 But it was going back and forth and them pinning each other. Yeah, I was all right once everyone came out and it was getting exciting. But yeah, it was just the beginning of it. We've seen this match before. I mean, going back to the Battle Royal, all that talent that was in the ring,
Starting point is 00:53:00 and you just push the same guys over and over again, I'm just like, come on, man. Let somebody else shine. How are you going to know they're going to be awesome if you're not going to give them the opportunity to go for something big? I don't know. I'm not in charge of any of this.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I'm just a fat guy on a microphone, giving you my opinion on what I saw. but but I'm not saying this match was bad. It was a good match. Both of them. Seth Mowlands and Finn Ballard go hard. And we all know that. But yeah, once Damien Preece came walking out, everybody went nuts.
Starting point is 00:53:48 And then here came Mommy and, uh, dirty dumb. Dirty dumb. Oh, yeah, dirty dumb. I mean, ride that out, kid, man. That's all I could tell you. You write it out to the end. We know at some point they're going to break up.
Starting point is 00:54:09 And then he's probably just going to go haywire and start beating that, beating the hell out of more of the main guys on the roster. I don't know. We get crazy down then. Crazy heartbroken down. Yeah, he's going to be heartbroken and mad. But yeah, when David,
Starting point is 00:54:28 Damien Peace was the first one to come out, and then he was hooting and hollering, and here came Mommy and Dirty Dom, the NXT champion and the woman's champion. Oh, man, really, really, really really looked so high when she was walking around.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I had all the little event things that were going on before this, that cowboy hat she was wearing. I was like, oh. See that video and then posted as a little boy, he was pushing Dom out the picture? Yeah. I liked how Damien Priest kept trying to give him the briefcase
Starting point is 00:55:03 to knock Seth Rolins out with it, but he just wouldn't take it. I mean, because that's what I mean, we know where this is going to go between Damien Priest and Finn Baller. And we know they're going to battle in the end. That's how everybody does this team. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:22 But yeah, but when it came to the distraction, Ria Ripley was getting involved. she jumped up on to the on to the side and she nailed Seth with the with the title belt and even Dirty Dom got involved
Starting point is 00:55:38 in all this but he was bringing it to him because he he kicked Dom and then curve stomped him on the outside oh man I was like I love that move it's brutal but I love it because yeah with the distractions And Seth jumped back in and
Starting point is 00:55:58 Finn Baller gave him the sling blade And then he was throwing around Then jumped up and did the coup de gras. I thought that was it. I mean, all right, that move. Because Finn Baller jumps up hell of high. And you could clearly see he bends his knees And there's not that much force.
Starting point is 00:56:17 But, I mean, even still, I mean, that's to me, my opinion, that's amazing. Now you can jump that high and come down, but still lift your legs and not land on them as hard. Because they could land on the chest and everything. But I thought that was it. Seth, he kicked out. So I was like, all right, cool.
Starting point is 00:56:40 But Finn was still, he was still going off. He was trying to get it going. Damien Prez, he got involved. He jumped up on the apron. He was dealing with the ref. he threw in the money in the bank and then he went to the other side of the ring that's when he was arguing with the ref
Starting point is 00:56:59 and Finn Baller was crawling over to the briefcase but then Seth Rones came running over and curbs stomped them right onto the case and knocked him out and then it was one two three and that was it the crowd was there for Seth Rounds because they were hyped but the look on Damien's priest after he lost
Starting point is 00:57:19 That was hilarious he's just like this fucking guy he's gonna battle Seth Rowland at some point if he doesn't battle him I have a feeling that he's he's going after that belt he's going after the heavyweight champ belt I want him to win and cash it in and get it
Starting point is 00:57:42 I don't want I don't want him to cash it in and waste it I mean there's been some winners where I'm like they have wasted it and I'm like Yeah, I'd rather have them wasted than see the belt on them. But I like Damien Priest. I'm hoping that he cashes it in and wins and gets that belt. If it's not Seth Rons and go after, I ain't going after the tribal chief. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:08 I just want him to get a belt. It'd be awesome to see him once he came up. I would love to see the whole judgment day just have belts. I don't know. We'll see. Who knows? Maybe Seth and Finn Ballard would go at it again. And if Finn Baller ended up winning,
Starting point is 00:58:28 and then that's when Damien Preece comes running in and cashes it in. But I don't know. But you're getting those looks because right now I'm watching it. Damien Preeze is looking at Finn Baller, and he's just shaking his head. And Finn is not liking what he's seen. Yeah, it continued on Raw. The judgment day came out to confront Seth.
Starting point is 00:58:51 and uh somebody else uh forgot who it was and uh fin fin did his own thing and they were kind of like all like what's the deal you're doing you're making up your own plans but you know mommy was there to calm everybody down to calm anyone down yeah they get out an a minus i can agree with it all right on to the women's the w W.E women's championship match. The Empress of Tomorrow, Oscar, taking on the EST, Bianca Belair, taking on
Starting point is 00:59:30 the Queen, Charlotte Flair. CBS Sports gave this match a B. Nah, I ought to give it an A, because this match was tough. I always say this. I always say it every episode. The women go hard, and damn right, they went hella hard.
Starting point is 00:59:45 I didn't like the blonded ponytail that, Oscar, not Oscar. Bianca had, I don't know, I don't know. I didn't, I didn't like the, the, the, the blonde hair. Also, there are other sponsors, the, uh, C4 energy. Oh, they were really going for it. Is this, is this the one where I think it was Bianca when she came out, posed? Yeah, she had one. I was like, stop it.
Starting point is 01:00:15 And there's Jessica with her fine self. She's in the ring. going to riff this match I all right I mean I like these big stadium pay-per-views but I hate the long-ass
Starting point is 01:00:29 curved walk that they have to do it just seems like it just takes forever so but I was happy with the way it ended we had two winners
Starting point is 01:00:41 of this match I mean I love Charlotte don't get me wrong I mean she's awesome and she's in shape you follow her on Instagram you see how ripped she is all wherever there's a muscle it's ripped but um i was kind of a little disappointed i mean i like bianca bellar but i was a little disappointed when she she won when she
Starting point is 01:01:05 ended up winning this match but then something else happened but before we get into that those are you the david seen this or you everyone has you guys already know but uh what did you think of this one I thought it was a good match. I really did. I did not want to see Charlotte win for the 40th time or whatever. I mean, time she's won. Bianca, I'm kind of getting a little tired of her. I did.
Starting point is 01:01:36 I forgot who had the briefcase. We'll get to that at the second. Yeah, I did too. And for a second there, I was just like, Charlotte's going to fucking pull this out. And then the injury angle came in with Bianca, and then it popped in my head. I was like, oh, shit, I see how this might play out.
Starting point is 01:01:58 And when it played out that way, I was about, I was almost jumping out my seat because when Bianca pinned and won and then that music came on, I was like, yes. And I was hoping somebody didn't end. interfere, but she actually ended up helping. It was the best outcome that there could have been. Yeah. I was happy with this match. I knew it was going to be a good match because these three go hard. So I was, I was ready for it. I was there for it.
Starting point is 01:02:35 But yeah, for a second, though, I thought they were going to put the bell back on Charlotte. I'm all right when she, I don't know when she's a champ. is she the greatest on the mic? No, but she does talk shit and I like it. But I was like, don't do Oscar. Well, they did Oscar dirty anyway. Didn't she like win this like last week
Starting point is 01:02:56 and they're already taking it away from her? Yeah, she lost she lost a Bianca at WrestleMania than won like a couple weeks later. Like, should have just gave it to her at WrestleMania. But yeah, I thought Charlotte was going to pull it out
Starting point is 01:03:12 when she put that figure eight on a Bianca's injured leg Yeah, and Aska came in with the blue mist Right in Charlotte's face Unfortunate camera angle Because you could clearly see Charlotte close her eyes and close her mouth Yeah
Starting point is 01:03:29 It'd be better just to see it from Oscar's point Well, we can just see Oscar's face Yeah And then maybe the side of the back of Charlotte's head But yeah, you can clearly She knew it was coming She was ready
Starting point is 01:03:43 because she shut her mouth and everything. But even still, man, that's nasty. I mean, spitting something out of your mouth into someone's face. It's better than getting a stink face. Yeah, that too, but I ain't the one. But, yeah, Bianca pinned Oscar. And she was the, Bianca was the champ again for a minute or two.
Starting point is 01:04:11 because that's when damage playing his music, the alarm went off. As soon as that happened, that's when I remembered that Eos guy had the briefcase. Because when that alarm went off, I went,
Starting point is 01:04:25 I was excited and here she came. So I was like, ooh. I was a little worried, though, because she came out sprinting, and then she stopped and gave the briefcase to Bailey. And for a second there,
Starting point is 01:04:40 I thought Bailey was going to hit her with the briefcase. Yeah. But that one move that was, I was going to say that one pulled it out like a champ and started hitting everybody with the briefcase. Yeah. That one move when Bianca Bellar came off the top and did that 540 splash and
Starting point is 01:05:00 while Charlotte was doing the figure eight on Oscar. So you guys know that move. Charlotte's, uh, on her basically on backwards on her hands and feet. and everything and bionca bell out of nowhere and bernca bell out of nowhere and landed right on top of charlotte they timed out perfectly yeah and it looked beautiful it didn't look sloppy or anything and then once she pinned her um she uh charlotte kicked out i thought that was
Starting point is 01:05:36 it i was like oh my god this is it but no charlotte said no you ain't going out out that way. She kicked out of it. But I was shocked. This is one of those matches. I was like, holy shit. So I thought it was really cool.
Starting point is 01:05:51 But they were beating the hell at each other, especially Bianca and Charlotte. Because they were just throwing blows back and forth. And then Charlotte started with the chops. But when Bianca pulled Charlotte up, what was she going to give her? What's her move when she does that? somebody's yelling.
Starting point is 01:06:17 I can't remember. But she got really close to the edge and ended up kicking Bianca. What's her name? Oscar off the ring. But when Charlotte got that Bianca back into the figure eight
Starting point is 01:06:33 and she was slapping her before she got it into the post, I thought that was funny. But Bianca was just still screaming. And then Oscar came in and shot the miss. in Charlotte's face, so she just laid there screaming. Oscar tried to kick, head kick, Bianca Bel Air, but she moved.
Starting point is 01:06:56 And while Bianca was still locked up in the figure eight, she got Oscar, flipped her over and pinned her, and she was Bianca Bel Air won the WBE's women championship match. I like that Charlotte still had to figure eight on her. trying to get the best out of her eye. Bianca's like screaming, like, get her off me. Yeah, it was, it was funny. It looked like Bianca got hurt because she was,
Starting point is 01:07:26 she was stumbling around. Her knee got pretty roughed up. Because she didn't just get right up. It took her a minute. Because when she got up, she fell back over again. But when she fell over, maybe it was just part of the show. The alarm hit.
Starting point is 01:07:45 and here came Eoskeye and Bailey were running in top speed and yeah like you said she gave Bailey the briefcase she slammed it against Charlotte then she slammed it against Oskia Bailey jumped into the ring Bianca Bealear came running at her
Starting point is 01:08:06 and Bianca or Bailey got the briefcase knocked out of her hand and she rolled out of the ring Eo jumped in the ring, hit the back of Bianca's bad leg, she turned around and then Eio Sky hit her with the briefcase. She fell down
Starting point is 01:08:24 and then she turns it in. Jessica was standing right there. She handed it to her. Eos still screaming, waiting for the bell to go off. And once it got, went off. She jumped up to the top road and did that lion's stall and boom. One, two, three. I like before she went to the top rope,
Starting point is 01:08:43 she she walked on Bianca. That lines are the moonsault. Same move. Yeah, as soon as she got the pin and she won, she was high and I was fine with it. Again, if Charlotte would have won, I'd still been all right with it.
Starting point is 01:09:05 But Eos, Eos, Sky, Eos Shirai, whatever you want to call her. She deserved this. They let her win the money in the which was awesome and she cashed it in. God damn Bailey's fine. I see that happening. Dakota Kai, she got hurt,
Starting point is 01:09:22 but it was cool that she came. She was able to jump in and help with the celebration because a year ago was when damage, damage plan. Where do they go? Damage control. What? Damage control.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Yeah, damage control. Once they started, I thought it was cool. again, I think I said this last episode Maybe the one before Bailey can't be your face no more She needs to be healed from here on out And I love it I didn't love it in the beginning But I love it now
Starting point is 01:09:56 Bailey if you're listening I love you she's the base champ And she's my champ But I was happy with this outcome They gave it a B plus hell no This was an A plus Because it was a good turnout And it was an awesome match
Starting point is 01:10:09 Between these three These three women that were in there kicking ass and Bianca Belair, I was happy that she won for a minute. But then, and all hell broke with that money at the bank briefcase. I was, I like when the, it's usually the guys, when they keep the briefcase and beat the hell out of each other and it's all dented up before they cash it in. Now, he was, hers was still fresh, no dents or anything.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Maybe a few scratches in it, but nah. Yeah, overall, this match was awesome. All right. On to the main event. The Tribal Chief, this match went on forever. Yeah, I did. This is the WWD, WWE Undisputed Universal Championship match. Uh, tribal combat match.
Starting point is 01:11:06 Okay. Uh, the tribal chief, the one Roman Raines taken on, uh, main event, Jay Uso My opinion It started out slow But once The guys got involved at the end At the end
Starting point is 01:11:26 I thought it was awesome When they got out and they were fighting each other In the crowd I thought that was really cool I liked all that But what did you think of this one I agree It started off slow
Starting point is 01:11:40 But once it picked up When they started You know adding weapons, chairs, tables. People started getting involved because we all knew solo was going to get involved in some way. And I thought it was, it was a decent match. But I think, like you said, it went on a little too long
Starting point is 01:12:05 and it kind of took me out of it. And then when we got a surprise at the end, it wasn't really a surprise. I mean, who he was there for was kind of a surprise, but. Yeah. I don't know. Just him with the hoodie and the bandana on. I was like, oh, that's such and such.
Starting point is 01:12:26 I don't know why they're doing the mystery. Yeah. But yeah, I thought it was fine. The one who was entertaining me the most was probably Paul Heyman. Because like he said, he was like, oh, he's your tribal. He's your family. you guys live together and then you hear Michael Cole
Starting point is 01:12:45 or I think it was Corey Graves he's like Paul Hayman's in tears right now my favorite move in this match when they were just going at it Jay had set up a table on the outside and then it took a while for them
Starting point is 01:13:03 to use it but when he finally did he Simone dropped Roman rains onto that table and they both went crashing through it. Not the, they did it the long way. And it's still broke,
Starting point is 01:13:19 but I thought that was awesome. They looked like Jay, he took a lot of that too, especially Roman. His neck was all crazy when they hit. But I thought that was awesome. They ended up pulling out two tables in this one, so I was good with it.
Starting point is 01:13:36 But I, have a feeling we're going to see this match again. I don't want to see it again. If we see it again, make it better than this one. And the beginning was slow. Can we get some tribal elders there? Can we get at least Rikishi? I thought he was going to be there.
Starting point is 01:14:01 That's what they were high. They were, I heard so many rumors that, well, I know the, the Wild Samoans, Afa and I forget the other one I think they're kind of too old to make the trip because I notice a lot of when they're doing interviews and stuff it looks like a lot of that's at their house
Starting point is 01:14:21 yeah and then there was a big rumor the Rock was there and I thought I saw his mom there but I don't think that was her she might have been there yeah she usually had all these especially these are nephews or grandsons or whoever yeah
Starting point is 01:14:37 but I just Rikishi needed to be there he should have been even if he gets involved I would have been cool with it and he keeps teasing that he's going to get involved at some point but hasn't happened
Starting point is 01:14:56 yeah he was supposed to be I think originally you remember when they did that tribal tribal court yeah he was supposed to be there but I think some kind of scheduling or something happened. I think
Starting point is 01:15:12 if he does come back, I think he'll come back when Jay and Jimmy go at it for whatever reason. Super kicks Jay, man of had Jay. But yeah, I mean, what's that I mean? He, but Roman Raines power bombed um,
Starting point is 01:15:30 Jay or, is it Jay? Yeah, Jay, power bombed him onto the chairs because at one point, uh, Jay was just threw in. a bunch of chairs into the ring and I really didn't do anything and speaking of chairs everyone
Starting point is 01:15:43 this video that was going on in Alabama shout out to everyone that added their own commentary as special effects I knew there was going to be one with wrestling and hearing JR
Starting point is 01:15:59 that one was funny and shout out to crime faces I was waiting for that one the most and they did it. But that dude that was giving those fools the chair shots and even got one in on that lady, man. I was like, damn.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Oh, man. Everyone's going nuts over that video. Check it out if you haven't seen it. But, yeah, the second table that was introduced, Jay put it in the corner, or was I think Roman put it in the corner. And that didn't come into play until later on because right, I'm watching it right now. Jay and Roman are just
Starting point is 01:16:38 exchanging punches Jay's on the outside of the ropes hanging on and Roman is just punching and punching them and Jay is slowly holding on Paul Heyman in the background just going off looking all stupid
Starting point is 01:16:54 Roman tries to run and I guess tried to spare Jay off the apron but now he jumps up and kicks Roman in the head and then Romans kind of stumbled over. This is when he picks up, Jay picks up Roman and does a Simone drop and they go crashing into the table. I thought it was
Starting point is 01:17:19 awesome. We knew where it was going soon as I love how Roman just jumps up into Jay's arms because they're both tired, man. Don't get me wrong. I understand that. But that was cool though. I was glad that they did something awesome like that and to see Roman gets slammed through that table but yeah it kept going on but this part I don't care who you are even if they do pull it
Starting point is 01:17:46 Jay broke out that leather strap and just started letting Roman have it I'd say at least a few feet of it was dangling and I'm surprised that maybe the
Starting point is 01:18:02 welts came later but Roman he don't wear no shirt be different if he had that vest on still but jay was whooping that ass he was hitting him hell hard and this is when show mercy this is when it goes out into the crowd there was one dude just tried to get a selfie where roman just pushed him out of the way
Starting point is 01:18:25 you can see the guys in the suits that follow them to try to keep everybody off I like when they go out into the crowd so when they go out in the crowd man you just you know they're going to go somewhere where it's all set up and everything because where they went was I think it was by the
Starting point is 01:18:43 photographer's stage all the other photographers are just people with cell phones now these guys had those expensive cameras and they kind of went at it for it and then there was this random table just sat right in the walkway
Starting point is 01:18:59 with a couple things set up on it looks like nobody's using like these cables and some papers and something else but before that was brought into play here came solo he came running in with the Simone Spike and just bring it into bringing it onto his brother he's the youngest one right? Yeah
Starting point is 01:19:23 all right he walks over to the table solo and starts throwing everything off I don't know why these random cables and papers are right there but okay he brings his brother over to him, picked him up, and slams him onto the table. Solo's a big guy.
Starting point is 01:19:44 Yeah, they call that the spinning solo. They don't want to call it the rock bottom. Yeah, I was it, this is rock bottom. What are you talking about? Spinning solo.
Starting point is 01:19:53 But yeah, he threw his brother to the table. I don't know where Roman was. I think he kind of is. Oh, he's laying right there. Yeah, he's kind of catching his breath for a minute. I like this part because when Solo starts dragging Jay Jay's pushing his feet
Starting point is 01:20:10 Yeah To keep it going And I don't know how far they went out of the ring But I was like the way he was pulling Jay It was going to take forever Yeah To get back in the ring Solo just decides to pick you up
Starting point is 01:20:25 He picks up his brother And carries him Back to the ring because I was like, damn, you're going to drag him the whole way? Probably like a half a mile. So,
Starting point is 01:20:39 once they get back over there, they just kind of throw Jay back in. And Roman's screaming at Solo to do stuff, but he starts bringing it to his brother, gives him another rock bottom while Roman is out on the outskirts of the ring. But then he climbs back in.
Starting point is 01:21:00 And Solo's, I don't know. It's hard to make him out. I mean, he's always looking crazy and everything. Who knows? Maybe he's like the nicest guy in the world. Roman is standing there kind of rocking back and forth telling Solo what to do. Basically told him to give him the Simone Spike. I don't know how hard that tape is wrapped around the stunt, but I think it would still break if you would do that to someone.
Starting point is 01:21:28 He learned from Ubaga. All right. All right, really quick. The crowd has been booing the shit out of Roman Reigns, this whole match. Because he kept looking at the crowd, like giving him like the what looks and all this. And he even started yelling back at the crowd. Solo picks up his brother. He's about to give him the Simone's bike.
Starting point is 01:21:57 And Roman Raines runs. And Jay kind of snaps out of it. his brother over and Romans, he springs off the rope and bah spears solo. Oh, this was my initial question. I'm tired of everyone.
Starting point is 01:22:16 When Roman does that thing before he does his superpowers his spear, when he throws his hand backs and goes ooh ah! Again, the whole crowd was booing the shit out of him. But when he does that, you can clearly hear that it
Starting point is 01:22:33 is a pre-recorded track, which is fine. But I was counting, man, don't even do that no more if everybody hates you. You can still do it, but don't add the extra. I don't know if everybody hates him, though, because when he did the acknowledge me thing before the match started, there was a whole bunch of people holding up one finger. My finger was up. I'm still for me.
Starting point is 01:23:00 He's still my tribal chief. I don't like this ref, man. He looks like some big, he's darker than me, all buff. I think he was trying to, he was a wrestler and just, you can't cut it in the ring. You want to be a ref? He probably went, all right. But after Robin Speard solo, he gets up all slow looking at him, like, what did I do? And then we see Paul Heyman with his mouth wide opens with the same expression.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Like, oh shit, you just did that? Jay kind of comes to run and pins. Spears, Roman rains. I thought that was it when he Spirred him right there, but now he Roman kicked out of it. So Jay
Starting point is 01:23:43 picks up two chairs and just goes to work. Slamms his brother, walks over to Roman and gives him a chair shot. He's standing there tall. He didn't really hit him with it. He kind of
Starting point is 01:23:59 started stabbing him with it. And then he does hit him with the chair and he kind of goes down. Everybody's hooting and hollering. Jay's still trying to get back in order. But then when he
Starting point is 01:24:13 steps out of the ring to hit Roman with the chair, here comes solo, running with a super kick. And Pink gets Jay. I see this solo turning against Roman. Because Roman is laying there
Starting point is 01:24:31 on the ground, on the outskirts of the ring holding his hand up like, help me. and Solo was just staring at him. He just got speared by Roman a few minutes ago. He's like, what's his name? From 3 o'clock high, buddy Revelle. He doesn't like to be touched.
Starting point is 01:24:51 They were standing there. Just Roman trying to tame solo. And he's not paying attention. And here comes Jay out of nowhere. It just, and bah! Spears Roman Rans right into the the little barrier part
Starting point is 01:25:09 by the ring guy or the bell guy. Oh, the one that always seems to break. Yeah. He jumped out of the way, right? He got up hella quick when he saw Jacob running. So yeah, he spears him into the wall,
Starting point is 01:25:26 knocks it down. Solo still standing there. And then he puts it into work. He goes up and pulls up Jay and then it starts whooping his ass. on the right in front of the announced table and dumbass Corey Graves and his sky blue suit. I hate him everybody. I'm sorry. But Solo picks up his brother Jay and it looks like he was about to rock bottom him on the announce table.
Starting point is 01:25:52 Yeah. He super kicks him. Jay super kicks solo and his solo just, he did not. this good at all. He's acting like he's all days, swinging his head and looking all over the place, and then he calmly lays himself down on the announce table. But I like this. Once he's laying there and he's ready, Jay kind of runs over to the side. He jumps up onto the wall, the barrier that's right behind the announce table. And I'm sure he's tired as hell. He had to reach for one of the fans to help him
Starting point is 01:26:33 stand up on that wall and then he runs and it just does a splash right on top of his brother and crashes through the table. Jay walks over the Roman, picks him up and throws him back in the ring. Jay bounces off the rope. Spear!
Starting point is 01:26:50 He gets Roman and he goes down. And then he's about to pin him, but somebody comes running into the ring. Oh no, no, no. Before the pen, He climbs up to the top rope and does a splash, a frog splash on him. Then he pins Roman and then somebody grabs Jay and pulls him out of the rank.
Starting point is 01:27:11 We know what it was. Yeah, a mystery person. Yeah, he had a black hoodie on and a black bandana over his face. He pulls the hoodie off. He's got the braids and has a black handkerchief over his mouth. and then he just starts staring at his brother and Jay is just like looking at him like what what the fuck did you just do
Starting point is 01:27:37 but Jay is also just standing there and Paul Hamer's standing there just saying this shit but Jay picks up or Jimmy picks up Jay super kicks him and then picks him up and then throws him into the ring and he kind of walks away Roman Raines kind of comes to
Starting point is 01:27:57 Jay is still all dazed and then Roman jumps up and runs and spears Jay right into the table that they had in the corner and then he pulls them off to the side
Starting point is 01:28:13 one two three and that is it. Yeah I'm interested to see how they play this out because it kind of looked like Roman was confused of why Jimmy was out there. Yeah because Jimmy was just looking at So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:28:31 Jay was the one that was always like not really sure. Should we do this? Should we be following my cousin? But because I knew that at some point, Roman and Jay were going to go at it. And this is what we got. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:53 I think with the Jimmy and Jay thing, I think it's because is J is now main event Jay. It's not the Uso's. It's not main event Jimmy. It's main event Jay. I think that's what the angle is going to be. All right.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Him trying to be tribal chief and the champion and all this stuff. I think Jimmy's going to, I think that's how they're going to play. Jimmy's going to be like, well, what about me? We'll see. But this was a tribal combat. match it just seemed like a match with no no rules yeah because they broke out the candos sticks and the other strap and the tables and the chairs
Starting point is 01:29:44 hardcore match yeah basically that's what it is but I don't see anything tribal they did with it but okay CBS sports they gave it a B plus okay I'm with that because like we said the beginning kind of drug for a minute and then and it got exciting. That is it, everyone, for SummerSlam, 2023. What was your favorite match?
Starting point is 01:30:12 Oh, because of the finish, I would have to say the triple threat for the women's title, just to see EO come in and cash in. Yeah, at first mine was the very first match
Starting point is 01:30:27 of Logan Paul and a ricochet. And then this match happened. And yeah, this one was my favorite match. Because they went hard as hell and beat the hell out of each other.
