You You

It's time to get raw it is time to get down it is time for your number one source of all things WWE right here on the tarbuckle tavern this is a raw down I am one half of your host the MVP Marco in with me as always Jay bugs how you doing sir it's been a fucked week I think locally for me. Yeah, it's been weird. Yeah, like we had the school started this week for our area. So first day of school for a lot of the kids around here. Traffic definitely showed up as it is a normally what have right on time. So that was fun. It's always on time where you're at. I know it is. Well, it's that's always on time, but you're never on time because. Yep, the traffic is awful around here. But yeah, then that just where just crazy stuff happened. It was fast paced.

Haven't been like, haven't been on social media as much too. Just like just super busy over the weekend and just doing stuff. So hopefully I can get back into the back into the groove as they say. So I was here. How was your weekend? Well, my city had to declare a state of emergency. This Thursday. Give us a Thursday. I don't know the kind of winds that we got. We got this like really. We got these really bad thunderstorms Thursday. I got it. Yeah. And whatever winds hit. Knockdown so many trees. That are my city had to declare a state of emergency. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think that is. Yeah. On their Facebook, they posted that they are over a hundred trees got knocked over.

And like headstones and everything got ripped out of the ground. And then all over town, you're seeing all these big ass trees. They fell on cars. They fell on houses. They were blocking roadways and knocked the power out for like thousands of people for quite a while. Some people for several days. And what I went into work that day, getting to work. What are the main routes that goes like east to west in my town. All the lights were completely no power. Wow. So. So my traffic was almost like your traffic where it was so backed up so I had to reroute myself. I had to reroute myself three or four more times because that's how many streets were blocked off because trees fell over. We're blocking the streets. Was it like hurricane winds or was it like it almost like. Was it like a turntable? What did they categorize it as like a tornado? The national weather service. I think set a Cleveland is what usually does our stuff here.

Yeah. They said it wasn't a tornado, but I don't remember the exact wind kind of winds it hit. It almost sounded like it was worse like the winds are just as powerful. Wow. But apparently there's some people that were like kind of trying to make sense of it. And there was like this is out of my wheelhouse. So I'm not going to explain it well, but like there was like the perfect shit storm over the last couple days where it was like warm in the right spots. The right amount of rain where it was like heating up the ground. It was losing loosening up the soil. The kind of soil that eerie has. And then the energies go in in these certain places and all of a sudden we get these really bad winds and these bad thunderstorms and then just mix it all together and it created whatever the hell it created that. Like the city school had to close down that day like they canceled classes. This is this is the town that gets. I don't know we can get I mean you remember last winter like there's days where we get up to two feet of snow and that's literally no joke like we would get up to two feet of snow and some of that that specific school wouldn't even close down, but that's such as how bad the trees were.

And the power being out and everything that they had to cancel classes because after schools didn't have power or trees were falling over the property or the buses couldn't get where they had to pick up the kids and. Yeah it was fucked yeah you maybe you maybe think of when you talk like you know the things loosening up and the ground and all this stuff think about like sinkholes could possibly happen something like that we're like those that that creates me out if you ever seen any videos of sinkhole I have just happening out of nowhere. Just like just houses disappear cars just fall into the into the earth it's it's a yeah it's thanksly that did not happen that I know of. And I because they said that when's we're reaching up to 70 miles per hour. But there's like a there was like some sort of like I don't know kind of weird win that they called it but but either way it pushed it knocked so many trees over with snapping the full.

I guess power got knocked out for over 31,000 people. Let's look at it now it's classified as a violent storm and these things 70 miles per hour approaching category one hurricanes. Oh. Well at least there wasn't like a tornado but like I said it's almost like that's still my mind as well should have been. This is the this is a national weather service by the way. Yep. All the looking at all the categories. Yeah anything over 75 is you know Rousse will peel off windows or break trees or be uprooted not just break you know so like. Yeah they were they were uprooted yet like like they like literally like pushed over most these trees like that's like you. If you're like I don't know you're walking through the woods and you just see a bunch of like an old tree just fell over essentially that was everywhere just these trees got just pushed over like somebody just walked up to it and just pushed it.

Dang. That's crazy. But like all the parks looked like frickin war zones this cemetery looked like a frickin war zone. It's just stuff was falling over everywhere. Yeah it's like kind of like how WWE is right now it's like in shambles right. Yeah. It's always been in shambles that it's not it's not a new comment you just made there. Yeah I know it's slowly. It's slowly not I don't want to say but surely it will just say it slowly just. I don't know a lot of a lot of questions for the for the people that are you know running the WWE right now as far as story lines that's so much business are always in it you. They get to do their business. But as far as story lines I'm I have a lot of questions. I clearly do a lot of the right moves business wise because they keep making money and they keep improving their their numbers.

Yeah not maybe not the attendance but they're still maintaining a much better number than I would have expected. Yeah here's something I usually I'm going to start I'm probably going to start doing this when I you know when I get the balls to do it or just like get the you know the motivation to do it. Just like hop on social media just like if I see something just like talk about it not not to take away from this show but just like anything weird like for instance Aaron you know Sunday nights main event was in Atlanta right Atlanta Georgia. You know every time they do a show or like a PLE or a special event whatever whatever you they always do like you know special gear you know made for that event like they'll have like you know you wrestle maybe a little though like WrestleMania 42 shirts or you know so on and so forth. So they sure did I seen get that here. I mean yeah I mean I I you soon but I was like I used to collect like shirts and stuff like that it just gets to see that I can see you in Tyson both happens kind of.

Yeah I was kind of collection yeah my wife hates me like a ton of I have a ton of t shirts that I haven't thrown out or anything like that they're just some of a cool I have to actually go through them and throw away but nonetheless so they did one they had one shirt in particular for this Sunday nights main event. Are you familiar with a facility a business in Atlanta Georgia called Magic City have you heard of this before. I heard of maybe anything more out of club so this is kind of this is funny so Atlanta at L. Atlantic City and I'm sorry in Atlanta there is a gentleman's club by the name of Magic City. If you go and then he shops calm right now they have merch for Sunday nights main event with Magic City on the front they have hoodies and t shirts and on the sleeve of it it's you know the Georgia peach you know that's like the symbol for Atlanta Georgia well it's a Georgia peach but with a thong on it.

Yeah so did you buy your I did not know I would have got it because it said Magic City but the sleeve part I was like I don't want to walk around like a peach I blow you with a thong a red thong on it's kind of weird but I'm like who let that go who they who's this gear towards who's buying this. Well it doesn't help that we're both probably the farthest from Atlanta Georgia as you can get in the States yeah you know the West Coast but. It's it's as funny I don't think there's anything else in it that I know of Magic City I know it's. A yeah oh yeah the only other I was going to go on their page but it's on Instagram it's i'm not logged in and says restricted so I'm assuming i'm right it is the legit Magic City gentleman's club that they did merge with that they're selling right now on ww shop calm actually so that's it's not like go get yours right now yeah go get yours right yeah usually that's like in attendance stuff like they'll like big.

You know merge specifically for in attendance people not like they don't throw it on there like I think I have like a I have like a where they're in Boston like a while ago they did like a Boston 316 instead of awesome 316 so I have that so many towns that have that yeah so like they had that there they had a. Close the other one there was a cool one that they different survivor series the first ever war games that they did for survivors series of Boston and they did like a Sam Adams. Cross over with WWE it was actually pretty cool so like that like those and like that stuff's pretty cool but like I mean who's walking around with a Magic City. Gentleman's club hoodie WWE branded Magic City. Hey mate maybe the people there love their Magic City. I just think that's hilarious and that's the kind of crowd they're trying to get. They must be because.

I mean they're not definitely not booking it for us anymore. I don't think they're a book in it for my wall that's for sure now they're not yeah the story one they I don't know it's. I mean do you want to get into it do you how do you want to do this you want to weave in and out with stories you want to. Go ahead first and descend Sunday nights main event do you want to talk about Randy or and. Talking about how Farrow. Isn't dead yet on Friday night and then ends up dead today or yesterday depending on not that I'm laughing at it but. It's kind of funny he said that in a promo on Friday. Like in your dog. Surprise is still alive and then fast forward to this week. Cody post that when I passed away. But I saw that today I was like my immediate reaction was that's fucked. Like that is like I don't know if Cody gave Randy the a okay but it was unplanned or.

He was an idiot like. He was a dead dude I mean it's like we know anyway. It's like wow Randy and Cody are bar friends who would have thought like it's like Randy knew. Yeah that's the first thing I thought of when I when I see that post when Cody and Farrow was like oh Randy Orton said. Talk to what I was and then. I was like I'm not going to talk. His famous. Promos that he used to do going into WrestleMania 40 when you just hop on Instagram and. Just cut a 20 minute promo. Yeah swearing and everything. And he called the stupid dog Farrow. That's stupid dog Farrow. He's like yeah because he's talking and Cody like walked away with the sad face after the you know he and out he wasn't going to. Face Roman reigns at WrestleMania that he you know stepped out to the sad puppy dog face you say you did that sad face like I like I killed your dog Farrow that's stupid that's stupid dog whatever he's in.

But yeah I mean Farrow's forever immortalized as a figure I'm not sure but so on ringside collectibles but they had that. Cody Rhodes ringside exclusive. Where it's at that photo of him the drawn photo of him hold of the American flag and like you stand on the mount top they redid the hogan the hocon. WrestleMania eight poster with Cody and his dog so he's forever immortalized. On a figure form I do remember vividly on a w when Cody Rhodes and Brandy were doing an entrance I think it was at a PLE it might have been the first PLE or maybe the second one I can't remember or PPV sorry say you can talk about. Fireworks go off and Farrow just fucking turns and bolts back to the. I know that any dog would cool entrance is like boom boom and you just fucking Farrow just like be lines and they're all just like.

They just continue because he got scared of the fireworks that's that's my memory of Farrow anyway I thought it was funny. Because dogs do that shit they like they hear loud noise and they run. I mean as I feel like all of us would have they don't have any understanding of what the hell is going on so it actually yeah speaking a loud noise that's that's how my so this is why I'm saying it's a weird like past few days like Saturday I wake up to a big like explosion right like just a boom and just I look at I look at like my TV and I like what the hell is that I look and I there's like a little light on the bottom and you know. In standby mode off and so looking around the house everything's the power's gone. That's how I started my Saturday that's how I started my weekend with the big explosion and no power for I think it was like about hour hour and a half. Oh poor you yeah no right third world problems right.

So first world problems but yeah it was a no it was just weird just like just waking up to that and just the rest of the weekend was just crazy just but yeah no RIP time where I there was a time where I drove to work when I was driving to work and yeah there's a time where I drove to work once. Well it's all my way to work a transformer blue while I was driving down the road. Here's her like a big boom and then like you just saw the you know like the big flash and everything yeah there was that and then that's a go off topic but during the summer there was a comment hit the Atlantic Ocean. And we heard it we I mean the everything was like it was rumble and it was like it was like like a big like huge as explosion I was like everyone was like what the hell is that immediately you go on like X or reddit they're all like did anyone hear that the Massachusetts area apparently have did you find a later comment hit a hit the Atlantic Ocean and just the way it hit it just fucking.

Oh massive sound but they still haven't investigated that they just like that just swept it under the rug we don't even know if it was a comment that hit the Atlantic Ocean it could have it could have been something else if you're. Conspiracy is really in aliens because I didn't even talk about it after that there's a yeah it was a comment that hit the Atlantic Ocean nothing to see here and that was it nothing no no words no nothing no follow up. So who knows if you're conspiracy person look it up see if you can find anything welcome to our side of the world yeah I know right but anyway I mean speaking of conspiracy theories I don't know this is nothing really. Actually you know what Bailey that's a conspiracy theory what the hell is going on Bailey's contract we're getting we get a conflicting reports Uncle Dave is fighting. It's fighting for his life on on social media right now going back and forth. It's fighting with Mike Johnson not really but they both have conflicting reports were ones like yeah she signed a new deal and which Dave Meltzer and then Mike Johnson's like no she no she did not sign a new contract.

Did you get it from that what was that wrestling site the one that said um the one that talked about the ESPN. Yes that word got is that regards information from all for the s e scoop through whatever yeah s e s scoop so whatever that was is that where they got the Bailey info I don't know where Dave and Brian I feel like never like and I don't hate Brian but like I swear to God I swear to God they just talk out of their ass sometimes and sometimes are right sometimes they're not. But it's always the pat McAfee thing where it's like according to my sore says nobody knows who the fuck they're talking about and and half the time it just makes you shake your head and it could be the way that they present it it could be that Dave Meltzer is trying to hit that word count that I always had to hit in college. Because every every time he's quoted I'm like dude I don't know if you have to hit that 2000 word count on this entry you have to do but like you're doing it because you just said the same thing for five sentences.

He does reiterate a lot he does reiterate like his points over and over and over again it's like Bailey assigned a new deal Bailey has returned cord and my sources that she has been negotiating and she signed a new deal. And then you go on for like two or three more different ways of rewarding it and then just and I oh my god. Maybe if I listen to the show it wouldn't sound as bad as it sounds when people quote him but like good grief and I trust Mike Johnson more than I do Dave Meltzer he seems to have been pretty on point and the fact that Bailey still has time like nobody could pinpoint exactly when our contract was up. And it sounded like it was more of an end of the year thing than it was a fall thing like a lot of other people's so like Mike Johnson's like she has time left on her contract. And it sounds like she probably got plenty of time to play out this feud with Lyra until the end because I mean there's other people that have been very good for WWE and they used every last bit of ounce of that contract that they had and that's just way it goes sometimes and yeah.

I mean I feel like that's what you should do when you have a really good talent shouldn't just keep them on the sidelines and you have actually you have a story for them just freaking do it. Ash, let me first read and I don't think we did this yet first of first of Tyson hey yo alright. Thank you for joining us as always Tyson and then according to wrestling news on next Bailey has not signed a new has not which is see now so now we have conflicting reports that we have Tyson. And we have Dave Meltzer and now we have we have we have three conflicting reports right now I feel like wrestling news is probably an aggregate account for whatever I'm going with Tyson on this I don't think Bailey signed a new deal. I don't I don't think she did either. I'm going mainly just because Dave Meltzer said it and that's you know and that's fine. Well I'll listen to Tyson over Dave Meltzer when it comes to when it comes to that's he seems to know more about wrestling than that Meltzer does sometimes.

And you are right I feel like they do him and Brian Alvarez they do what we do pretty much but they're obviously they've been no yeah they've been around a lot longer than we have but they just speculate they do the same exact thing. Yeah they know where they're yeah we can say the same thing we can be like you know Bailey did return but you know she might have some time on a contract maybe that's why they you know they they had a return just to get some TV time you know just to play out her you you person like that they don't want to sit on the bench or anything like that you know it's Bailey she's a you know marquee person so you know they they want to on TV and they don't want to make it look at you. We can do that stuff easily that's not hard at all. They do the same thing when it comes to like ratings and stuff like they know the right websites to look at like that everyone else that we have access to yeah there's saying that our sources say and it's just this random Joe Shmo website on the internet that releases TV numbers or whatever. The TV TV pretty much that's what they that's what they're using maybe some AI Gemini one of those I feel like they've had these they've had these things in line well before AI was a thing yeah no I know I know they they have like connections and they have internal you know they have sources and stuff like that they can reach out to and I know that I'm just just messing around.

Like how Russell Ticks just counts dots yeah tickets distributed okay well it just means that people bought them yeah true that is I do I be Russell Texas I mean I don't I don't think it's a great source yeah it is it definitely no hate on them but it's just pointing out like this is what they're doing do you want to sit there and count dots no no no I'm glad somebody's doing it or doing something with the app. I'm just glad somebody's doing it. No one else wants to do that job. I wish like WWE and AW I'm not sure why they're so secretive when it comes to like contracts and stuff like that like I wish you're not not that I want them to be like you know like actual sports but like NFL and be they have no problem would come out and say someone's contract is up or someone's in free agency and like they just come out and say it like what's the big deal. Big secrecy when it comes to pro wrestling with it you know someone's contract is up or you know when they say it's like just tell us it's not a big like there is a lot to that because I mean I think so because you got two types you got two coins here where you have WWE that's maybe paying much less than you would expect.

If you have AEW that's doing everything they can to make sure you don't know what these people are being paid yeah and like that that's towards everybody and I feel like it might be a negative towards either company if like we as fans knew that such and such is not making no one here as much as somebody else I mean some of it would make sense by like I don't know like Oba Femi just made the main roster I'm sure he's not making like nowhere near as much money as even like somebody like the mid. He's or somebody that's just been there for a long time even though Oba is a bigger status and maybe miss took a pay cut but like you know I mean just somebody like that where you're just like why on earth would Oba Oba should be making these more feature their position and I'm better and it's like well they just they just brought him up from NXT is probably still on that NFL rookie deal kind of mentality for NXT he might have not negotiated some new deal yet to like really bump up his pay to something ridiculous unless he already did when he got to the main roster I don't know those answers.

But I feel like it kind of also takes a lot of the illusion out like yeah they want to be like sports but it's also kind of nice as a fan to not know exactly when these contracts are going up how much somebody's making because everything at the end of the day is predetermined we're like in the NFL if you know you're paying a quarterback 20 million but then you know your backup that's making a million like yeah the one that you're paying 20 millions and get more opportunities. But if the one million dollar guys doing that much better he's going to start starting for your team to win but like what the hell is their competition and with WWE or AEW like any of these big ones like they got their payout they got their money what are they trying to accomplish where they have no super bowl where the click for the companies obviously the wrestlers they have WrestleMania they have all in whatever like it's there's there's no real competition for them to for like amongst like I guess there is for the wrestlers but at the end of the day they're not like they kind of decide their fate but not really like the booker there's been so many wrestlers that have done everything right the fans are behind them I mean look at LA night everybody's behind him we think he's done everything right still can't win that world title yet true and there's so many people over time that have probably deserved a world title never got it or

deserved whatever big thing never got it deserved a big contract never had it like I just feel like with wrestling it's much harder because you have the WWE you have AEW they're competing for the same talent they're auditioning out the same amount of money yeah and like AEW would be a complete shit show if all that was like public information or like they had investors involved like like they had a bunch of stocks or whatever the right way to word that would be and they had to disclose everything to them yeah so they could like kind of like I don't know it's just weird because I feel like it would be a lot of negotiating power because the NFL it's a lot of negotiating power if you see like the top running back whoever it may be they get a brand new deal and okay well the next year another couple good running backs just saw that such and such got paid this amount of money I want to get paid more than that then because I'm just as good if not better and so I don't even I'm sure the wrestlers know what each other are making but

probably not like that either yeah I mean I'm not so much I don't really care so much about how much they're making it's more or less like knowing whether they're coming up on their the end of their contract or you know they're looking at like free agency and I know with that what's it's a no-comp cause deal when it comes to pro wrestling maybe that's why they don't do it because it doesn't even matter if they are looking at something else they're not going to be able to compete for that part whatever company for 90 days if anything so maybe that's why they don't even you know big that any news or make it newsworthy but Bailey seems to be not a good discussion when it comes when it comes to that with all that kind of part of their contracts too because they're getting released so they're kind of just being given like a 90 day warning of like hey yeah like you're officially terminated in 90 days yeah yeah that's right uh I think I think that's how I don't know I guess I don't know the legal process

but obviously there's no compete but like they're still getting paid for those 90 days so I only assume it's like hey we're releasing you in 90 days yeah versus like their contract ending or whatever and Bailey like you said is getting all this attention because it's Bailey yeah I mean be more wrestlers ever yeah big commodity or anyone anyone that picks a rep or which would obviously be a W she does leave I mean her best friends there so that's the case but we'll see what happens maybe W W and Tyser to stay who knows they definitely need you know they definitely need the like the veterans there as far as like the you know the women's divisions concern I think I think if they you know the the ladies aren't leaving the ones that are veterans there I think it'll I don't know I don't think they'll be fighting for much as far as like spots on a main event scene or you know spots on TV that type of stuff where you have like you know Becky there's been vocal about that Charlotte

um they've all been vocal about you know having a proper weapon up in the company and you know being that vocal vocal point for that so we'll see well as you think of Charlotte she did that to Kiana James on uh the what's your on Cody's podcast I didn't listen to it was no no 70 to the 70 man's I think I was Stephanie mans uh what's your story yes what's your stories that's Stephanie's yes yeah okay um because I have a little levy quote for it and it was um her on Kiana James that Kiana James makes Charlotte um want to step her game up and that she said I told her one time I think it was after the qualifier for elimination chamber she was stressed about something I was like I am telling you I've been doing this for a long time and you make me want to step up my game you were doing everything you're supposed to do and then there was more to it she said when I am in that ring and I go oh damn she's making me work harder for this she's going to be such a star and when

I read that I'm like she's going to be such a star like you we're doing everything you're supposed to do yeah well what where the fuck is Kiana James and that's it yeah that's the um that's the other side of that too I love you out of James I have been one of her biggest supporters on this podcast whenever she was doing anything it she has been gone with what feels like for weeks she could be involved with the Julia um Blake and Rose stuff I mean like maybe but she has not had a match since the interim women's title qualifying match when Chelsea Green defeated her in three minutes and then she had those two matches against Julia won on Smackdown and then another on main event because why not and like she just has not really been used all summer long after having the run

that she had during the spring and you know the late winner yeah and then you've got Charlotte propping her up here I don't not saying that she's not worthy of it I'm just saying it doesn't line up where you like you have and then that's the other tough part is that you're you're seeing talent that rightfully I think deserves these opportunities deserves to be on TV and there nowhere to be found and that doesn't mean she could be injured who knows yeah she could have asked for time off I don't know but like I'm just sitting here with my hands going like where is she she could point I mean those it's just get them on the fucking card I mean she's not injured anything like that right I'll look it up but I don't I don't think so yeah because sometimes they just I mean sometimes they just quietly go away you know does disappear for a little bit let's see

says this currently says that she's not injured yeah so they just have her on the just riding the bench right now it seems like which things like you say because you know she's definitely a talent she can definitely you know be like BBS BF use in the on Smackdown but I think like you know obviously there's not that much time obviously they you know they cut back that that third hour so thank God you know they yes and I think you know they have to make way for you know certain people so you know that you know Charlotte Alexa and Tatum are gonna take up time you know fatal influence for the ladies they gonna take up time you know sharp I'm sorry Chelsea you know her being the champion now that you now you're bringing in Naya and Lash legend so you know it's like fighting for space pretty much

when it comes to that seems like for the uh for the ladies and the men too I mean this guys that we haven't seen in a while on to well I guess that's the problem everywhere is that you do have them just it and they'll end up coming back we're like Lyra um ended up what she did that like heel turn and then she went away for like a month where like she kind of just showed up to like do promos and stuff on commercials then like now she's finally kind of starting to be around where like Keon is not getting that kind of yeah um but like then there's other people that are given like kind of weird roles where like you had Johnny Organo was just doing what he did in the back for so many months to finally get this um what I thought was a very good title match on Smackdown in Cleveland in his hometown yep um so like there are definitely a bunch of people they're like probably deserving of TV time or like like our tag division on Smackdown that's been kind of non-existent like they're

trying to build up some teams but yeah a lot of those teams like I feel like they're just trying now to make it somewhat relevant after many months of not which is hurt the likes of like Fraxium like Nathan Fraser and Axiom like they're just they have like been almost nowhere to be found and then just looking through like the Smackdown roster you have people like Jordan Grace who seems like she's been nothing but healthy she's posting all the time online and she's been nowhere to be found for months yeah I don't get it and I don't get it either and I it's like it's I have a very difficult yeah they have a mid card title which is the United's you know the women's United States championship and they could have you know Jordan Grace could be out there you know um Keanu James could still be out there you know wrestling for it but I don't I don't get the you know not that not to pull JC Jane and fatal influence away from anything you know

surrounded what they get going on but I don't think they're the ones you pull down I think you pull Jade and meet you in B-Fab yeah probably yeah and like Smackdown's only been having like four matches I get it it's like it's it's a two hour show but like some of these matches don't they're not even giving a lot of time to the matches anyway like most of them are under 10 minutes and like I I don't know there's so many things we can always be complaining about but like if Keanu James had a three-minute match every other week on Smackdown would have that even done or any good like I think that's the stuff that they always have to battle it's like okay well you're gonna put up Keanu James again so you're gonna put her up against like Julia she's gonna face Candace Loray like do you ever feel like a lash legend or like a night like what are you gonna do it's not like there's other random jobbers for her to face like she's gonna have to

face somebody that's worth a damn or like she goes in face B-Fab or Meechin like it it's the same idea on the men's side where it's you just pull them off the card for a month or two and wait till you have a program for them or do you just throw them in random ass matches like that where they kind of like they're exists or they lose or like you know and it's making some people look bad because like you have Joe Hendry using he's in kind of matches he's in some storylines but I feel like his characters only fucking going downhill the more they do with them or like Mac Cardona's kind of seems like he was a bit of a jobber until his some tricep you know blew out on him or like I don't know like there's so many people you probably could list that are just kind of when you see him out there it's like here they are yeah like the Miz right Mysterio to an extent right Mysterio is putting on great matches but he just know he's out there doing the good old veteran role where he's just you know yeah

and that's another thing I have to feel like there's a couple of things so they definitely need to bring bring back the jobber the art of the jobber as you know that they're the they're the the developmental talent that can help put other people over and it doesn't have to be like that's why I like about AW sometimes who because they do that like they'll like do that on main event if you look at the main event results you will see like an NXT talent taking on a made roster talent I'm not saying that's helping nobody because are you going on YouTube and watching main event no I'm in like more like not like the NXT people like just like the local whoever the local wrestling person is or the local people they should be right that definitely I think that that helps especially you know on people losing or you know messing up records or whatever the case maybe and to enhance the you know the other person's you know missiko whatever they're you know their storyline like there's something like that and then there's also like

it doesn't seem like there's a lot of advocacy for women in the like as far as like the women's division is concerned not advocacy from the women but advocacy from the men like the men's locker room like where are the guys stepping in and saying hey these women should be like you know they should be where we are you know that type of like I remember seeing punk coming out and talking about that type of stuff and now he doesn't say anything he's in a position where he can you know kind of like you know put a word out there and be like hey these ladies need you know these ladies need to deserve to be in the spot if his wife's not concerned I don't he's not talking about it it seems like which is kind of I mean some of it I can tell you it would make sense like I've kind of fallen off on just writing down weekly each of the um of like the numbers but like when you're looking at like what they're getting on views like the women are not getting as many views as the men like this week it's a little bit different

thankfully for once it's a little bit differently because you know the vision with oba and like like that whole thing was getting what about 765 everything with the vision was getting 600 700 like they were getting some good stuff the highest rated one was when um Royce keys and OTM when they set those was car on fire on raw that was 915,000 views on YouTube in a day so like those were all above what the women were getting and then you have the highest woman rated segment at least that's on um raw for YouTube was Bailey returning and attacking Lyra and that was 557 which was more by the way than Liv Morgan's Steven of Echairs women's world title match highlights huh at 441 so like obviously it matters on what the segment is what they're showing on YouTube

all that kind of stuff but like you're already seeing that the most views are going towards like the bloodline Royce keys what they're doing and that's been consistent oba and brawn has been consistently right below that and then you start to see like the women or LA night and solo or something else that's kind of random that maybe did well but like you know there's other stuff that like some of the best matches that dragon Lee was having that was like match of the year candidates for like a raw smackdown yeah they don't get any views nobody's watching them nobody cares the crowd might care but any getting them nothing and then when you're looking at Sunday Sunday nights main event like this is how crazy it is the top rated stuff was brawns and read returning and then the oba family brawn breaker highlights in general that was one of the top things the most viewed was the Cody Rhodes Randy Orden highlight video it

was almost a million so you have a million then you have 800,000 for the oba and brawn and brawns and read returning and then you go all the way down to 391 for Little Yachty and Baron Corbin and then you go all the way down to 295 for Joe Hendry Dominic Mysterio which I think happened on like a pre-show am I right I don't even remember when that exactly happened and then the lowest is this two is the Kuevos performance at 114 but then Charlotte Flair Alexa Bliss Tatepaxley Jade Meach and B-Fab that was at 292 so like we're advocating for the women of course here but like they had the lowest viewed of all the matches on their YouTube maybe on exit could be different maybe Instagram is different maybe in terms of like mentions it's

different but I'm just saying that it's very interesting that week after week some of the stuff that we say is some of the best stuff that's happening other people don't view it that way interesting that is interesting and like Tiffany Stratton once again having a probably a good promo only 271 Dan Housen gets more in a backstage segment doubles that because he's calling good that goon or that's why I think people think that's funny it is funny and then painting the color with more John Cena insults is also funny and that's why they got them more views as well and like Nia Jax and Flash taking off Chelsea's mask and everything that had only 172 that was the lowest viewed Smackdown video that they uploaded more oh less views than Lil Yachty's training video

you weren't a fan of the training video oh my god I for the fast forward through it yeah the most viewed was Kevin Owens Goother and Finn Balor and like that holds the Sami Zayn commotion stuff which I thought deserved to be the most viewed because that was the most entertaining part of Smackdown yeah and then Randy and Cody's feud that was the next that was right below that so like at the end of the day all of those numbers me rambling on and on all about all that is just to say we want some of these people to be put over but like they said for what Ilya Dragunov while he couldn't get the money he wanted was that he wasn't getting numbers is what they said so WrestleVotes said so now I'm paying attention to what's on the YouTube what's going on how are what exactly are people actually watching yeah so yeah so if they are I mean it seems like they go in that route when it comes in

not saying that they're booking off of views on social media or Instagram but if they are doing that yeah it's gonna be gonna be rough for the ladies I think that's gonna suck because like I almost feel like if I I'm not I'm honestly curious like if I look on WWE's like Twitter if they're gonna be any different than like versus I don't know like like anything that's on like the like the numbers got to be kind of close to the same like with the impressions around people viewed like viewed this stuff well they usually do across it's like across social media platforms they'll usually do something they'll put that number and not just like they won't fix it on like a YouTube or an X or Instagram or whatever it's like they do like combined views across all social media platforms and which what I will say is the most viewed um X I'm just

looking purely off the people who have seen it the most viewed thing that happened had to do with um was Bailey's return that had over two million people viewed it cheese on X I mean that's not people that that's not people that freaking um that's not people that like reacted to it or anything like that like Royce Keys them having they had the top rated YouTube segment most viewed but they didn't even peak a million on X so it was nothing to what Bailey's had and what she's trying to say if there's even it or it actually had less than what um JD McDonough's at uh Javon Evans Javon Evans impersonation of JD McDonough that had more and so but here's the funny part is Bailey's um like return they had two million views it had 10K likes but then when

you go up to what happened with um Royce Keys and OTM it also only had 10K likes. Well yeah see that and I was actually you know it's kind of weird because I was talking to someone today about views and likes and all the type of stuff I don't think I mean it's not even I don't think they go by views now it's not even likes that's what I was thinking yeah you never see WWGO um this video is the most liked across all platforms they go this video is the most view across so they look at views and metrics more than because people because views people to walk people people like just watch a full video or not even you know just move on to the next video but they oh yeah but again they did view the whole video so they can track how many people view the videos opposed to liking it because I mean liking is one thing that's I mean to me that's mainly for pictures and stuff like that not really videos they go by views when it comes to videos or clips or whatever and that's how they usually determine like what's most popular and I think that's what

they're you know that's what they're looking at is what's the most viewed video across all platforms what's the most viewed well if you're going by most viewed then on Exodus Bailey versus like the most liked was Oba Femi coming out wanting revenge that was that 14k nothing else even came close to that the neck well the next close as I think was 12 and that was Stephanie and Liv doing the devil's kiss on the on the announce table of course I mean probably the most book parts if I had the guess let's actually know let's let's let's just we don't have to talk about Smackdown really because you know let's kind of let's see let's see let's see some point to what I go over that's I don't know the only like I guess the big the big thing was just the continuation of that of the

whole WT title storyline I think that was the most like important part like I don't know I think that I think that's the only thing we're talking about on Smackdown until Blake Monroe finally makes her fucking debut but I think it's just worth mentioning that Johnny Gorgano woke up got his title match had a match had a good match and everybody got involved Sammy Zane had a little pep talk with them beforehand was being all discreet and everything he goes out there tries to help him and then you have Kevin O and wanted a piece of him Finn Balor wanted a piece from Goon through wanted a piece of him and Sammy Zane just keeps escaping yeah I don't how long do you think they can keep this going on like how long do you think like this whole dynamic with like Goon through K.O. Finn Balor Sammy Zane now you get ready or or in entering this this mix as well because you know him winning

against Cody Rhodes came in that no one can tend to spot so like do you think they keep this going do you have the faith in the WWE you know writers seem to keep us intrigued with this whole dynamic of everyone wanting a title shot against C.A. Punk I mean at the end of the day it's the best thing that Smackdown has to offer I don't know it'd be very difficult for them to it's very difficult when everything else you're booking on the show isn't that great and you're like this is the one good thing we got because it's at least involving really big names and it's not terribly just not terrible and so I think that's kind of what they're playing against right now is like they're kind of giving us some ups and downs or mainly just a lot of downs and like a little bit of an up here and so I think that's helpful I don't know if they're going to keep everybody intrigued because I don't know if people are actually tuning in to Smackdown going okay I really want to watch I really want to watch Smackdown this week because I need to know what's happening in this WWE title storyline I don't know if that's necessarily happening but at least if you're watching

the show like most of us do every week it's at least the thing I am looking forward to watching and I don't like I said their numbers are not probably changing all that much it's not the time of year for their numbers to be going up like that and the writers I mean they're going to milk whatever they're going to milk for as long as they can if it seems if they see that it's going to help and who knows where the end is in sight for them and as long as butts are still going in seats ratings are still probably not drastic the response online is relatively positive which I think it is like I think they're just going to keep going and doing what they're doing yeah I mean I hope I think I said I think we talked about this last week how you know all right maybe I brought it up about you know the attitude I ran how maybe it might have been a week before where like everyone was like involved in the WWE title it was like Undertaker Triple H the Rock mankind obviously you

know if someone calls a champion those are all the guys that were covered after the title big show at one point too came so it can't be done because they've done it before they have been multiple people in the main event scene going at the title you just have those like split off storylines with you know those individual people and it kind of you know they bring it back to the the WWE championship so I mean if they can maintain it great I mean I just get like wary sometimes especially with you WWE how it is nowadays if they can keep the you know the momentum going with the type of storyline keep it intriguing enough because how you get not that Dan Housen's ruining it but he's popping in and calling Goon Tha Gooner and all that type of stuff I mean I mean at least it's funny but I don't know where they're going to go with that I mean if they're going to do a Gunther or a Gooner at Dan Housen match I don't really know how I would feel about

that but it seems like they just have Goon Tha there to put over these kinds of matches yeah I don't even know how it feel about Goon Tha potentially winning in next scene oh Dan Housen's the reason he loses I feel like I would get a good laugh out of it but I'm not sure that would exactly be received well from everybody I just like the interaction because like this you know the way Goon Tha is and I'm not sure if he's like a surreal life but his you know on-screen Goon Tha is like just you know doesn't want to have anything to do with you know the comedy side of professional wrestling just the you know the serious you know in the ring technical be the crap out of each other and tell you daily doesn't care for the gimmicky stuff which is you can see with the interaction with him and Dan Housen I just like I think it's people probably don't laugh but I think it's funny you just looks at him like he's like disgusted but I'd Dan Housen was like I'm

in the same company as you or like I mean the problem is it probably is like 75 25 like he probably mostly believes that I mean he did I mean it wasn't it if you he did when he talked about he said something like bad about Ultimate Warrior about you oh like pretty much all the 80s wrestlers like how they weren't you know like they weren't real wrestlers and they weren't they were just bodybuilders that type of stuff there's some truth to that obviously it sounds like something you would say at the same time come on it's you know it's as much as it's professional wrestling it's entertainment as well but sports entertainment that's why good sick man came up with that term it sports and entertainment it's not all wrestling then you have to have some intrigue to it what she you know Gootha does do it and I did see that did you see any of the interview with Chelsea Green and Chris Van Blee I listened to that one yeah yeah what she talked about you know that the interaction she had with Gootha and stuff like that which is

actually she brought something up that I didn't even think of they don't really cross pass man in women the men's locker room and the women's locker room really don't interact on TV at all as far as like storylines or anything like that as much so she's saying like when that happened it was just like that was kind of like an epic moment because you don't really see that happening and Gootha is a perfect person to do that type of thing because he isn't gonna give a shit who you are if you think he's gonna do it if he thinks he suck he's a sort of he's gonna say he's suck man man or woman and that's what's great about that about that like Gootha do with that I don't think you can do that with like who else could you do that with in the like as a as a as a male competitor as a heel who could come out and just like shit on a you know the women's champion or the the women's I see champion or that type of thing like who else could do that besides maybe the Miz the Miz might be able to get away with that or I mean but other than I mean I mean there's like other people like within context I feel like they could

like I feel like Roman Reigns within context could say something like personally like without it being like something crazy like Braun Breaker like in the like in the back or something just to cut him in the right moment like yeah looking at the right situation I feel like he would be more than willing to say something Logan Paul for sure would be the first one to say something I think about about that I feel Seth Rollins would probably say something um when it comes to rod and then on spactor I don't know I feel like Baron Corbin he just has a dick character so I feel like he would yeah see him punk if he was playing of heel wood, Drew McIntyre wood maybe one day he'll return yeah okay all right there's like there's like select people that are like they just have they're like an asshole heel okay all right I can say you know like they shoot straight with you like at the end of the day like in their print their

normal promos that they have in their normal programs are always like they're not afraid to fucking bash the person in front of them and if you have somebody like Chelsea Green that's like kind of like waving their finger in front of your face yeah like kind of like what Chelsea did so I mean I guess goon they're asked for but you know what I mean yeah I feel like all them would be willing to give them a little something or like LA night would be up willing to do so like anybody that has like like zingers towards somebody they would be the ones willing to to say something okay let me let me flip it what woman as a heel would be able to do that with like a like a guy in the ring well I mean Nia for sure I want to see it but for sure would Blake I feel like would be the first one to like really this somebody because she's like the perfect storm where it's like Becky we've seen that already like Becky Becky definitely would Blake would be just like a

different one because she's like she's like like Becky's like the man and like you have Nia jacks who probably could freaking toss some of the men out of there like Blake Blake's like a different like she like is embracing like the like the hold her glamour gimmick and she's yeah embracing like she's better than anybody yeah yeah and like I can see that who she is like she kind of works like she's not there to intimidate a man she's like there to like just almost like outsmart them and just like be little them in a completely different kind of way yeah so that would be completely different I don't know do you have any others no no I was just thinking of Becky when she was in the ring with edge a while back on a little long time ago on Smackdown and they have her they're like they're back and forth or whatever and she you know he stepped out of the ring because you know he had that it was after his neck that you know he had that horrible neck surgery and you know the neck injury you know I'd have a stuff and wasn't sure he was going to be able to get back in the ring and he's out there like cutting this like promo and then she comes out and to wrap some blah blah

and then she you know gets to the point where you just like you know what I get to get out of the ring because you know you know this isn't going anywhere so he gets out of the as he's getting out and she goes hey don't don't hurt your neck on the way I get out those ropes if you hear the the whole crowd just go oh Becky is the probably the best at I don't know what are the best current wrestlers that being able to just do that of just making the crowd just go oh I would love to see her in Roman in a promo battle I mean she's done with CM Punk obviously you know yep leading up to the tag match and stuff but I don't think everybody interacted her in her in Roman I'm kind of curious to see how that would I mean they have no reason I know but just just you know just just to see what we have fun it just be nice maybe maybe the bloodline could have like a I don't know if they have a female version to add into their bloodline storyline or not it don't bring up Tamina no now it would be the

one that joined the bloodline if that was the case that they had a you know a woman to join to be definitely not jacks I think anyway but she doesn't like it I mean I I'm not saying that she's not like a part of like the culture I just she's not like I mean she's a she's the rocks direct cousin so she's like blood oh there is all right there is some connection it's like yeah she's like she's blood relative to the rock but she's not she's blood oath related to the you know that like I guess like you know the rocks grandfather Peter my via and the grandfather of the you know the anewais and the fattos they created like a blood pact where like they combine family or something you know something like that but she's technically a part of the bloodline essentially so but at the end of the day it's not a jacks yeah I feel like we got to remember that the end of the day it's not a jacks yeah it's true that is very true I don't think I think they've done right by not having her join it it's nothing even against her I just don't think her character lines

up it's been what almost six years since the bloodline started and they haven't added one lady yet to it so maybe that's what they need to do like if they're gonna if they're gonna enter like if if they're seen an issue where like okay there's not enough men and women interacting well they need to make their stories they need to take over the whole WWE which would mean the women's division as well right don't only need to mean both but they and they're kind of starting to do some of that we're like you're seeing some couples kind of viewed you're seeing the judgment day where they have men they have women you have Naomi that's the other thing when she returns I mean she's married to Jimmy so she could be part of her use well yeah she's an honor yeah she means she's married into the family so yeah they have a kid so I mean Naomi would be very helpful because I mean she would bring on like a big personality that was just taking off when she got pregnant so yeah kind of curious how they never went that route that's that's actually very

interesting that they never like added a woman to the bloodline because there are I mean that like I said it's you know I had technically is I mean Naomi is you had I mean not to be in a real to me is not really related to any of them but that's not that I know of anyway I know like they have history with the this nook of I know like the rocks mother it is and I think like that side of the family had relations with the snookers like Jimmy super flying stuff like that so I know that but I'm not sure about like there you know the other side of it with the you know the fatus of the out of why you family I'm not sure if they're on the snooker side of things they're not all related that's another thing like the tongue is tongue is they're not related to the yeah they're separate they're kind of like brought in as a part of the family tag deal they're their own Lydia for a big picture thing so not so much the bloodline budget in general would you

do you think the shows would be better if a lot more of these stories were intermingled amongst the men and the women for whatever reason maybe not not every single storyline has to be intermingled with men and women but there should be some type of like crossover with the women's division just to bring like because if it's at the point right now where they're not going to focus on the women's division and they're just going to be like mid-carding and opening shows and not made eventing anymore which would which would it seems like you know the men should be kind of you know maybe want to bring them into storylines where they can elevate them not be valais not none of that stuff just like you know bring them in as part of like you know you know they can be a part of whatever storylines happening but have their own you know side story that type of thing like like it like you said like Dominic and live right that's like a perfect thing like live live can be funerary people that you have Dominic in that mix as well like they can they don't really play

off of it really that much but they don't they don't have them to mix tag matches like why aren't they having like live and don't do mixed tag matches with anyone I mean what are they going to do it with like they could have did it when pumpkin AJ when they're around I mean I guess but like AJ wasn't doing all that many matches they're kind of building towards a Becky Seth with live in Becky's backstage interactions on raw like yeah yeah like they can do that yeah live in Becky live in Don vs Becky in in sat they can do you know since they you know they did the cannon thing now where Macarnona is now known as Chelsea Greens husband they can now they can introduce that side of it yeah they work really well together yeah so like it's like they can do that I'll this more the and I see this a lot with a lot of like social content creators not the reactor people but wrestling content creators and they're talking a lot more about the women's position right now the WWE the women's division anyway and it's like it's very there's something

needs to happen this either like you said we're like we're talking either they need to be brought into storylines not fully but like just introduced maybe or they just need they just need more focus on all the wins division they need some they need an advocate from the med side maybe to just to get that going maybe or like they need something just make them maybe maybe an advocate's way to make them feel more important but like it's one of those where I just at the end of the day I do not understand why they don't get the views by people I'm talking about them as much as I feel like they should be and like it even sucks on raw how they advertise for a couple weeks it's Stephanie and um but live we're gonna have that world title match and it didn't even mean event the show now they had the they had the bloodline mean event the show and great at that that's statement got more views than they did like it like it seems like it then it has been getting more

views so like I understand why they put it at the end but like that was a world title match yeah and you didn't and didn't even mean event the show and it was one you advertised for weeks at least two weeks whatever it was it almost seems like they're like stalling until like not not saying that ria's like the you know cream of the crop when it comes to the women's division but it almost seems like they're stalling to do anything with the women's division until she returns maybe but even with ria it still wasn't main event they still weren't it still worth the main event seen on the card and like I get it on smack gun it was kind of a little bit of a hell hole with her and Jade and that whole storyline that didn't really go anywhere wasn't really good yeah yeah but like rea returning to raw and you have arguably some of the top women in the fricking company are involved in a storyline together true true and they're not

made of any any they're not made of anything they're not going to made of an appeal e I don't think any time soon it like it is what it is I can't remember the last time the women made event it appeal e that's actually that's a maybe what's it I'm hoping this wasn't it wasn't but wasn't Becky and Bianca was that the last time they made a event well let's see WrestleMania 36 or 30 no 37 right WrestleMania 37 it might have been but like which is kind of crazy if that's a if that's the last PLE that women have been invented let's see

well chat GPT is completely fucking off it said the last main event by a women's match was WrestleMania 42 night two now that's that's completely wrong oh a pumpkin pumpkin room pumpkin our robot was ladies I barely yeah there's chat GPT for you they didn't freaking unless they re-word it and didn't understand what the hell I was asking but like oh it was right holy crap I was right the last time women made event today WWE premium web event was WrestleMania 37 night one which featured achievement match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair holy shit that's bad are you sure was that one that's what that's what I'm seeing right now no um wait no elimination chamber

but yeah 24 okay was that the main real real Ripley and Nia Jack's main event really no that's not I don't know elimination chamber no it would have been an elimination chamber match maybe that's just how Wikipedia has it I'm trying to oh let me look it up then on 2024 you said yeah let me look it up says that was maybe maybe no you might be right actually maybe that was no it was it was in Perth yeah you're right okay like I mean generally like a elimination chamber match would have made event did I'm not like that that would have happened but okay so maybe that's maybe that Perth show that they're doing it right so pollution maybe that's when they hope in real Ripley returns uh maybe it's just as crazy that um so we had to

go all the way back to 2024 and I have to trust somebody on Reddit and it's that every woman's doubly PLE pay-per-view main event in WWE history and there's only before that looks like before that main event what match was it oh let's see they had I'm trying to see how old this is because yeah annexed no mercy with Becky Lynch and um Tiffany Stratton that was that made of it and so okay so they had the Perth one for the women's world title between real Ripley and I had jacks and there was annexed he no mercy so we won't count that um and then it was Bianca and Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 30 seven right 37 okay and then there was a money in the bank ladder match I doesn't say the year it might have been 2019 because it had um lacy Evans and

okay broke um and then oh that was a 2021 that was 2020 okay yeah and then there was a TLC where they had a women's tag match between Charlotte and Becky and then Oscar and yeah and then survivor series there's Becky Shayna and Bailey that was they called the world champions face each other yep and then uh the main event of WrestleMania with Becky Ronda and Charlotte then there was a TLC with the SmackDown women's champion between Charlotte Becky and Oscar looks like and then there was a year where the Royal Rumble where the one of the Royal Rumbles that um women made event like the women's Royal Rumble made event in that and then it looks like the first ever PLE made event was between Sasha Banks and Charlotte yeah the Iron Man match that's crazy so there's not even that many in general and so there hasn't been once this 2024

and I mean this side and I didn't include any evolution of course evolution they may have invented that but like it's it's very weird you know that it's just oh it's rough yeah I don't know where we got on to this but this is an interesting topic to say the leaves it's like the fall off is kind of crazy with like then you look at when you look at all the um made events that what happened so it was like and it's all like the same people so you know Sasha and Bailey Charlotte and Sasha that was the elimination chamber right I know that was how would it sell in Boston I was actually at that one when Charlotte and the second well the first ever women's PLE made event would have been Charlotte and Sasha Banks at hell to sell it was like 2016 or something yeah I was at I went to that one um because I remember these dudes are mad at because I was

cheering for Sasha Banks I'm like you guys are in Boston like what are you talking about you know what you're not sure no we want Charlotte to win like Bern she's you know all right home home team home player home team don't matter around here Bailey I know exactly um it's because I mean if you know we won't go down we won't we won't go uh on that topic when it comes to Boston and it's areas and it's political stuff but um anyway uh yeah so that that was that I was at um evolution there not really a like a main event paper paper view I would say I mean it was all first all women's pay review which is great but that's a given they get a yeah it's only women on the card yeah the TLC's kind of interesting that they did you know Becky Sherwin and Asco it looks like there was an elimination chamber where the winter faces Becky

Lynch at WrestleMania like yeah the yeah the other thing interesting too is all the multi-women matches after Ronda and Nikki it's all multi-women multi-women matches that made it yeah there was not a singles match until you had Sasha and Bianca yeah and I think that's the other problem is that we we can't even get that main women's storyline that's like really grabbing everybody and a lot of male storylines that are also grabbing we do not get a lot of storylines in general so there's almost is there no more is there like I mean before we I mean we obviously we get to talk about Saturday night's main event or Sunday night's main event but is there no star power anymore is that what it is you think is there no star power or was it and I hate to say this and I know you know people will be mad at this but creative it seemed

like Vince McMahon because that was his whole 10 year right there pretty much for the most part all these matches happen under Vince McMahon not triple H so well no the the Rhea and Naya happened under that's the only one since his 10 year yeah I mean yeah but also does not help that sin then each PLE has five matches like but at the same time Vince put on it's hard when you only have five but still it's like he put it he he was able to do these matches he's able to have these made events happening what is he going to do there's only there's only been a few that we after we saw the card we were like yeah this match should have made a vented they didn't choose this right like yeah you just gotta I think he just did it he just put it on as a last match just put it on

it just just do it just put it on as a don't like where is this where is this in the storyline we're just just put it like if you have like a recognizable face which you for the most part you gonna as far as you know the women's division you have lived Morgan you you you're propping her up as it's like you know she's transcending wrestling and she's in mainstream now if you're doing all this with her you're doing this with Rhea why don't you just throw in a main event what's stopping you from doing that if you're if you're propping them up like they're these like big stars in general not just in the men's I mean just not just in the women's but the men's division as well just as a whole what's the what's the what's stopping you from just putting them as the last match this makes sense I mean you're not wrong like they could just do it yeah that's it's like feel like Nike just do it I don't know it's not it's not that hard just you have the star power you know

like I said especially with I guess I would with uh I was in and I was thinking to like even Marie for some reason uh with with with Liv Morgan you know you have you have the star power there with Rhea Ripley you know you have you have the star power um I'm trying to thank you who Bailey you could you could main event Bailey if you if you wanted to I mean you could general you could but I feel like the only story that they could even remotely go to away with me and eventing anything is Becky live in Stephanie that's the only thing that's like Charlotte you can she can like that they could main event her and her and Alexa and Tatum can be an event and uh they could that match could have been a last match that six woman tag match that they had on Sunday nights made event they could have done that oh my lord they could have you got to be kidding me it's it's a risk it's it's it's I'm not like putting the the faith in a woman's main event that's

what it seems like anyway they just you can put lipstick on a pig but at the end of the day it's still a pig I mean I don't get it it's like like I said Vince was in charge of a lot of these women's granted their multi women matches but at the same time they made evented shows it will not see that right now with under under the tko triple h regime you the audience are quite frankly tired of having your intelligence insulted that's all I feel when you're trying to tell me that Charlotte Alexa and Tatum which them three are not the problem but they are feuding with Jade mechid and beefab and you're telling me of everything on Sunday nights made event that was what should have made event at the god damn show I mean you could I said it could have

I didn't say it should have I said it could have they could have on a card that had brawm breakered oboe family for the first time and a randia orton kody roads feud that for once is actually building to a decent match that was already we've just founds better than what restlamania had to offer which was not hard all they had to do was just not fuck it up this time well they didn't have that macapy that's all that's all they really needed to do if they didn't have cash here restlamania would have been a we would have been talking about that matches that would have been fine you're right it would have been fine and so like those two storylines alone got way more build up there was more going on into it I mean I get it charlotte and jane have all these issues but like is this a but is this a it's a point of just doing it just like like I get your point but it's just like what that's what they should have done on monday they should have had live in Stephanie made exactly yeah they that could have been the main event right there or you should have

put it put that on the fricken son of nice main event cards that didn't have to be on raw they think they did that just to get some butts in the seats because they knew nothing else was going to be you know all that worth it damn but you could have done that because you had all these money to be qualified matches yeah let's get all their matches happening let's mind is well let's let's move on to set I almost say Saturday night Sunday nights made event because I mean you kind of we I mean we're chatting about this before we went on the show but very quick about how the you know the collective the collective agrees you know the social media people you know you know air their grievances wasn't the best of shows wasn't the best a lot of people say it was a waste of their time I'm not sure if it was that yeah I don't think it was that bad yeah it wasn't that bad that was a waste of time could have been better yes but um why I have I have a okay um oh my god

people are just good at I hate to keep bringing up weezy every week but it literally is the thing she said we are so fucking tiring oh no it though I like her but like it's still it's just the idea cool you we are just like as a freaking as the IWC we are just so I think we are so exhaust we are exhausting I think is what she says we are exhausting you have a show we're complaining about people not getting match times you have a two hour show on Sunday night's main event that is a two the point show yeah there's not a lot of fluff there's not a lot of wasted time yeah there's some bullshit yeah they are getting to the point they have their commercials they're letting shit breathe you had a US title match in total of the two matches that they had to deal with it that went like 15 16 minutes yeah you had open family abroad and then went 13 minutes you had the six woman tag match that went 10 minutes you had Randy and Cody that went 18 and a half minutes

this is all on a two hour show along with you had something on the pre show you had a person do a opening like little concert thing at clave oh yeah clave oh yeah yeah and then you have you fit in time for Paul him in a pepper backstage segment where if you were to watch a Ross back down you're gonna have like maybe I don't know four to eight backstage segments most of them don't matter in our waste of time which yet's getting people involved but doesn't really do anything you're getting all these random entrances you're getting these drawn out promos that is just a bunch of Roger cadet moments most of the time where it's just they're talking and they and they're saying nothing or the reiterating shit they've already said plenty of times where like Sunday nights made events Saturday nights made event those kinds of shows are the shows for the people that are complaining about all that because you're gonna get four or five matches they're gonna get time and it's only gonna take two hours and you know you're not gonna get freaking bent over by commercials like you normally do and you're not gonna get a bunch of random fluff that's meaningless

and like yeah it's not I was this one the best no are they ever the best no are they meant to be the best no like I don't know what the expectation was going into the show thinking that little yachty was gonna have a five star match that was never gonna happen it was second bear and Corbin have not had great matches in general so them just being decent was a plus what it would well let's set people off I'll tell you what exactly all right well we'll get to that we'll get to that yeah let's just go in through them you have the six woman tag match I don't know what you expect that of that none of that's been good but at least at the end of the day the point was was to get Charlotte and Tatum's relationship over I think they did that yeah over in prom break it's their first fucking match I don't expect that to be anything better than average it's their first match you they're gonna be feuding for years and years and years to come like I don't know ends in a dq I think that's how we saw that go in like was it great no no but like I don't know

what anyone was expecting out of that for it to be an amazing match and then you have Rady Orton Cody Rhodes I like that match was never gonna be good because they're gonna wrestle a match that they've done 20 years ago yeah that is just gonna be a slow paced the two guys in their 40s yeah yeah and they're gonna go for 19 minutes it's not gonna be fun you're there for the ride and some shenanigans happened it didn't suck was it great no but I think at the end of the day when you see a Rady Orton Cody Rhodes match it was like anything like Randy Orton and John Cena or like a lot of these matches when it involves these kind of guys they're they're they're star power that's carrying them it didn't need to go 18 and a half minutes but like no they're going to at least have the psychology down but I guess my whole point is is I'm defending the show along the lines of what the hell did you want this to be no I think I guess I think the main

thing that people were upset about the most was the oboe femy brown breaker match more than anything because we've been seeing this repeatedly like it brought Bronson Reed coming out to help Brons Breaker is the dumbest thing ever personally like why why does Brons Breaker need Bronson Reed to help him like beat oboe femy if they're are they making are they making Brons Breaker the this you know the the sniveling heel guy where he just like needs someone else to step in front of him like what are we doing with Brons Breaker is he the the badass you know dog the oh ooh ooh back guy or is he the guy that hides behind Bronson Reed when he needs to be both like this this is what people are frustrated with they're not first I don't think they're frustrated with the show as a whole they're frustrated with that part of it if these if they're having a match where we're deciding to see who the main event person's going to be I didn't

expect there to be a like a clear a clean cut winner I didn't have that expectation going in I know a lot of people did have an oboe femy going in and just being Bronson Reed clean but at the same time we don't need Bronson Reed to come in to help Brons the Brons Breaker win the match like if if they shouldn't have had it as a dissuade a DQ or something like that like well that's what it was like technically it was a DQ no no I mean like on Brons like Brons Breaker should have like grabbed the chair or like DQed himself because he felt like you know I can't beat this guy I get it I gotta beat him so I gotta do something some way you shape a form he should have done it himself that's what I that's when I was looking at that match I was like Brons what just had Bronson Reed return they could have had him come back on run Monday night raw what if there's a bigger story to tell but they could have done that on raw they could have like Bronson Reed come out tout how he you know whatever and talk about oboe femy oboe femy comes out

they're talking to each other Bronson Reed comes back big return they didn't have to do it on Sunday nights meet event they couldn't that match could have ended in a no DQ or no contest or something where they're both safe and it doesn't make it look like Bronson needs I mean sorry Brons Breaker needs Bronson to win a match that's that that's what I think people are if they're trying to get what if that's the goal here what it what if the goal is is they're they're trying to make Bronson Reed clearly relevant and you saw Paul Heyman's reaction when Bronson Reed came back because he actually did something because he did it he's the one that took out oboe femy Bronson didn't do it that's what I mean like are we like if we're trying to get Bronson Reed I'm sorry Brons Breaker back into the like main event status why are we having Bronson Reed help him win a match I guess I will are we going with the maybe the point is at the point to piss off Bronson Breaker like the point that Paul Heyman end up like is it is the point to have Paul Heyman

aligned himself with Bronson Reed because Bronson Reed could probably use Paul Heyman with Brons Breaker no but femy I don't think really need Paul Heyman no no they definitely don't now because I feel like with a lot of a lot of Sunday nights main event had nothing to do with like there's like I feel like there's bigger stories to tell and I feel like with the oboe and Brons Breaker one they're having a harder time getting across what they needed to get across or maybe the point wasn't to have it diluted or maybe it simply just wasn't good but I feel like I feel like people are having a hard time trying to understand why they did what they did yeah that's what everyone's trying to understand and I feel like I mean I don't know either because we're gonna see it play out over the next weeks or months but there's clearly something they're trying to do yeah it's and I'm just not like the only thing I can see out of this is like we have like you know the changing of the guard type of thing obviously what you know oboe

femy being Brock Lesnar so Brock Lesnar's gone so he's like the yeah he's one of the main guys now oboe femy you got Brons Breaker they're all they're all young Bronson Reed they're all young guys so I get what they're trying to do is like establish them as like you know the main event future main event guys so they're all gonna be interacting with each other at some point they're gonna have matches they're gonna you know promos whatever the case may be but they don't have to do it in the sense where Brons Breaker was like this like force that was just like running through people before he went to the to the join the vision he's running through everybody he's sparing everyone you know everyone's doing the the the the barking and all that shit like he had the fans behind him in all the tennis sets for him to have someone help him beat oboe femy like that's if they're trying to get him back in that spot like where he's a like this big like main event guy it didn't I don't think it helped with Bronson Reed helping him win they should have had him

disqualify himself or like I said no contest where there's no no Bronson Reed involvement whatsoever have Bronson Reed come out during a promo an attack oboe femy that's what they should have done that and that's why I think a lot of people are pissed off about just how the match went like like you said you're confused about like what they're gonna do next because they made it that way because they had Bronson Reed come out the whole point was to decide if oboe and Brons Breaker were you know who's gonna be the future of wrestling or professional wrestling at WWE where the case may be they shouldn't have made it to like it was a no like I said no contest or you know double dq or double cut whatever the case may be they didn't have to have Bronson Reed come in that's why I think a lot of people are frustrated with is that that aspect of it there was no clear cut winner obviously I don't think there was ever going to be a clicker when it in that match but having someone else come out and help Bronson Breaker who isn't unstoppable for us himself is that's

had a stupid but I don't know well I feel like with Bronson Breaker I just can't believe that many people have that kind of expectation that he had that opportunity to go in there and just win or I guess creating the dq on his own yeah it just it just didn't seem like the vision way yeah that's yeah he has been built like that in months yeah he's been in his tag team for a couple months now well we're not exactly facing the best people in any singles matches he's had it's been like the likes of Joe Hendry it's not yeah and that's what I mean like the point is like during that match it should have been like it should have been like it kind of like a wake up call like okay I'm not like you said I'm not where Bronson Breaker saying to himself I'm not where I was before I'm not this like dominant force I need to do something drastic to either you know with the match or you know make a name for myself bring put my name back in you know everyone's minds so that I think

that's what it shouldn't been it just it shouldn't have been him like maybe dequeuing and it just like be the shit out of an overfemming but that's what I guess at that point they shouldn't just freaking brawl didn't really even have the match like I don't know how exactly what they were trying to go for here yeah but it was one of the it was uh what was this like Chelsea Green not getting pinned I think we had this conversation on where you look at her wins and losses and what she's been involved in for months and you're like I was in you're like I don't know why people expected her to all of a sudden be out there pinning some of the top stars when she's only one three matches all year round exactly yeah brawmbreakers last significant singles match against like a world champion caliper talent was that backlash in May against Seth Rollins everything else has been the other tag team matches or he's facing random ass people and then he ended up losing to Seth Rollins several times from there like it's just it's just kind of bothers me because what

we could debate all we want about brawmbreaker being booked like that yeah that's the reality he got booked like that and now he's up against oboe femmy who just got off defeating Brock Lesnar everybody's chanting his name everybody's on his side and then he a brawmbreaker who has not really been in I don't know on people's minds he hasn't been having like top tier matches like you used to be having I just did not see this going in a way where brawmbreaker was all of a sudden going to be a top tier talent because that just to me that shouldn't have been what anybody should have expected yeah and I feel like they're just waiting to do whatever they're going to do because it's better that brawmbreakers like this because he is more useful than oboe femmy is because of oboe femmy's not in this feud with brawmson Reed or with brawmbreaker because I think the also the other goal is is that they need to get oboe and brawm to not touch each other for a while

and have brawmson and oboe go after each other yeah you can put that on hold and maybe bring that back another day but like brawmbreaker at the end of the day is still tag champion the other day still not it was not doing well for months in terms of his singles credentials going into this yeah no the like I said before like I think they I think the ideas have oboe femmy feud with you know with the vision that's it that's the that's the idea but I think the I think they didn't have to do it on Sunday nights mean event like I said they could have had that like big surprise on raw where they could have but it was gonna they needed to sell like if they didn't have this match like you're you're just expecting Randy and Cody to sell at which I get it these shows have been selling it didn't matter who the hell they have on the card exactly yeah they could have replaced this match with Stephanie and and live and maybe that would have been the right move to do that since

they weren't even going to main event raw yeah but I feel like oboe brawm is a main event well of course Saturday nights mean event kind of match I'm just surprised to me I'm just surprised to even went through with it and it went 13 minutes yeah I mean they said they want to they definitely want to showcase like you said Braunbreaker oboe femmy bronze and readers like the next you know in the men's division as like the main event guys are put them in in in that type of spot it just seems like they're not doing it the right the right way I would say as far as it maybe like you said maybe that's not the case maybe not maybe not having Braunbreaker as he you know as the you know the dominant force guy maybe he is gonna be that I hide behind bronze and read guy maybe that's what they're doing who knows I just think it's weird that they're you know the guy that was like running through

everyone's sparing people in half is hiding behind someone to do it and maybe like I said I mean that's what they're going for is that is that type deal so could be wrong about that um we kind of skipped around a lot of the uh the set I mean that was like a huge discussion there uh as far as a satanites made event um what were you most surprised by as far as were you most shocked that you enjoyed if you enjoyed anything on there what was your what was you think that you're like oh okay all right um this is enjoyable at least I so I think a lot of this card I didn't hate but I also didn't enjoy myself too much chyther yeah I think that was kind of the problem where like I feel like the trick Williams and Baron Corbin stuff with little yoddy where I was just like okay he didn't stink up the place

like this wasn't awful but it wasn't good either like they didn't make this into as dramatic as I would have wanted it to be um so like I wasn't feeling any better about that match yeah um oboe and brawn I also just was like me after that match which that was my expectation with that like I said I was even surprised it even gone through the time it went uh the six woman tag match you know maybe Randy and Cody yeah but even that I'm still like I said it just there was nothing about this card that maybe walk away happy but it also there was nothing about this card that made me just go that was awful yeah I wasted my time like I didn't think I wasted my time but also I'm like I will I'm never watching that again yeah don't definitely not not I'd probably say you know for me the the thing that kind of like shocked me the most is how

how entertaining I'm not gonna say how good but how entertaining the little yoddy and Baron Corbin match was the five minute time limit match that's it that's it that's what I'll say for for that anyway I think I mean everything else is I mean I agree with you pretty much on all the match all the matches there but the other five minutes with the little yoddy and Baron Corbin and I think that's this is what they wanted Trevor Scott to do when he you know he said he's gonna like you training all that shit oh yeah um not that they wanted him in this position with Baron Corbin but they wanted him to be like you know do do a quick match a five minute match does that to be do crazy you know you don't have to go bad buddy with it you know bad buddy went a whole different thing and he like stopped his tour and fucking trained for like six months like he guess he's like like not saying little yoddy isn't a legit wrestling fan but like bad buddy said to you yeah I stopped my tour I moved to Florida if I can train at the performance center for six months

that's why he you know that's why he like he looked good when he was like having these matches it's up I thought little yoddy was entertaining dude I thought uh you know I thought it was like a cool simulation for trick wins again is you know title match back and stuff like that um you know little yoddy didn't look like super strong he looked like just like a you know regular dude just trying to survive five minutes yeah which I think you know he was in this like you'll Hulk an op in you know doing all this crazy shit he was just like you know I just got to survive five minutes all right I'm gonna cheat as much as I can and I'm gonna do it as any normal part as me and you if you were in the ring of barren Corbin if we were to we have to last five minutes I'm trying everything I can to say for that five minutes definitely much like little yoddy did so but other than that I mean I mean we could I mean I don't think we have to run down the card but I mean yeah it's the Cody Rhodes I think a lot of people were expecting Cody Rhodes to win but I haven't Randy Orton when I think I'll turn a lot of people's attention were you shocked

that Randy Orton actually won that match we did you go and think it Cody Rhodes is gonna be like it's a number one contender match Cody Rhodes is automatically winning is that what you was at your initial thoughts because I think that's what a lot of people were thinking going into it's like the expression why buy the cow when you have someone who lets you milk them for free yeah that made just about as much sense as what you just said no Randy had to win this match I feel like a lot of people it's reading my comments this up a lot of people thought Cody Rhodes is gonna go back right into the championship like scene I feel like you got a you got to like I'm not saying don't read the comments sections but I'm also telling you don't read the comments sections because there's a lot of Tom Fulori in the comments section well because you're gonna think it's Cody Rhodes it's you know him being you know synonymous with the WWE championship and

you know him being the golden boy and all this type of stuff everyone's minds automatically on all right if this is a number one contender spot he's obviously gonna get a show but that's not the story that they're telling the story was I know that what what what what what what what what what what what what what I forget the exact things he even said but like he was basically saying like where Randy said he was sick in the mind and Cody was like basically saying yeah you're gonna find that out on Sunday yeah then Cody is giving the opportunity to be sick in the head he fails yep and I think that was the story they were trying to tell where like Randy keeps saying that he has to to be like this I don't know like evil self of Cody to like do what he needs to do and he just can't do it do you think we see that and at some point do you think it's like a slow burn with Cody like as you know each match or whatever each segment goes along he starts getting more and more

like dark do you think maybe because at the end of the day it would be very helpful like Randy ends like one of his last major storylines is getting Cody to like some sort of breaking point or to where he can be this evil character and a point where Cody is struggling to be relevant anymore like he's relevant but like that WWE title picture on SmackDown is the greatest it's ever been in a very long time Cody is not needed to be there for any of it and at this moment he's very much nowhere near number one on that on the list of who's even gonna fight him punk to like Cody like he needs a way to differentiate himself and I don't it's hard because you have the business side of it where he's still he's still selling tickets people still want to do any on location stuff

that involves him they still want to meet him they still are paying so much money towards him he's still getting all the reactions all the views all that kind of stuff but it's the fan reactions going a little bit different the quality is going down and that's the other hard part is judging what to judge what does WWE actually care about do they actually care about that the match didn't look so good or did they they care about that a lot of people viewed the match and are talking about it even though it wasn't that great because just to put it out there once again when Dragon is having some of the greatest matches on raw nobody gives a shit nobody cares so like what do you want from Cody Rhodes and I don't know I feel like it's something that it's a story to tell people some people have been asking for it it could be a vocal minority it could be by a lot of podcasters or a lot of people that are like very in the know but I don't

know exactly what the casuals are thinking because every week I'm screaming for the usos to be off my TV and every time I hear that stupid Dave song go off same with Roman Reigns what happens they lose their fucking minds every time and it just annoys me and some people had that feeling with Cody Rhodes yeah it's the perfect opportunity to turn him heal do something different maybe not heal but do something different do something new we've had this Cody Rhodes character for what four years now whatever return to 2022 I assume the character was the same then as it is now like he's the same guy yeah I think yeah most characters change by then third new there's somebody new yeah how many times does Becky have to change her characters within two years to be relevant on every time that she does it well I have to he's changed his Kevin Owens he's

changed his like he they've been all over the place on heal face Sammy Zane's been all over the place he's probably the best freaking some people say it was one of the best additions to the bloodline one of the best parts of the whole story and now he's single handed at least saved Smackdown for months like that's the kind of stuff that just like if it makes sense do it because if not and you're just gonna be the same positive self you are cubi one Cody Rhodes let me give a fuck yeah what do you do it you're not out there wrestling on Smackdown every week you're at a pointless storyline saying your pointless stuff that you say every week and nobody wants to hear that anymore yeah I don't know what happens after this match now that you know now that Randy does have his you know no more content or does he deal with Cody Rhodes anymore does Cody move on to something else when does Randy and see a punk face then is that uh

is that a um money in the bank match probably money in the bank of a souvenir I mean that would be a big time match just Bob just off the name alone you have see a punk Randy Orton yeah I would think so I would think that that's what the match would be please forgot about that yeah it was it was the number one contender uh yeah suppose yeah oh no no I think it was like to get a shot at the WWE on this feedacheebid chip whoever we because remember the stipulation was like if they touch each other they that that it goes away like neither one of them gets a shot at the WWE championship and who off the wins yes that shot didn't say when or where but now you gotta throw like it's like Cody Rhodes into the out sorry Randy Orton to the mix so we'll see we'll see what happens I'm kind of disagreeing with you on just a fact of it being a number one contender match like I just

don't because I didn't have it in my notes that they were going to be fighting for that and it may be I'm wrong I kind of hope I'm wrong because I would love to see a CM Punk and Cody Rhodes or not Cody Rhodes CM Punk and um Randy Orton like kind of feud it was like it wasn't like it's number one contender they said it was like a shot a future shot at the championship or something like that it that makes sense I guess maybe that's it I don't know yeah so let's see I'm about to miss that little tiny little detail trying to pull it up now I think I see I have it oh this hmm oh okay okay so say well the two rivals wanted to get go at each other this is like when they were

making that simulation about how they shouldn't wait for a couple of weeks Nick Alde stop them he said that since they can't help but disrespect him if the two of them laid hands on each other they would permanently lose out on any future world title shots in WWE to that makes sense oh so does that put both since they had the match they didn't touch each other during that whole a weld I mean they so they're both technically in the running for featuring title shots at the championship and uh when when you when you've read that did because they laid hands on each other before the match started um no this is the no this is beef this is just for Sunday like was it like it was

yeah this is how it worded it it was two weeks ago it was like before it was like I understand that but like they they fought in the crowd and everything before the match started oh yes so doesn't that like count them we'll have to wait till smack down to see what he says because I never knew how I was looking at it was it was either before the match started or was it until Sunday you guys can't lay hands on each other until Sunday so we'll have to wait to see on smack down to see what Nick Alda says if they clearly they're not that dumb oh yeah they say I mean they didn't touch each other on Smackdown yeah so they stay with that so we'll see if that like you said I mean they didn't go at it beforehand so who knows maybe he'll we'll see we'll see on Smackdown I guess that I wonder about this pharaoh comment because that that's like a convenient fricking thing as awful as it is like that's like that is like

like I said it's just fucked it is so fucked how Randy was just commenting on that about the dog almost being dead basically yeah knowing that was true and Cody signing off on him being able to say that like I hope that's how all that worked out and that's fine yeah like it's just talk about and this is sound like kind of crazy but him him saying that on that on that promo when he was like you know it was talk about pharaoh and all that was seven and Cody jumps up and goes you know I didn't react to any of that imagine what I'm gonna do once that led me to believe he was in a win because he's gonna like obviously he didn't pull through and you know do what he need to do but like that right there when he was just like you know Randy saying all these like horrible things about a zero his wife his his daughter his dog all the type of stuff he hasn't do anything and then he just says if I didn't do anything now wait till Sunday I'm like all right obviously Cody's winning and I think that's what a lot of people thought automatically was him not reacting like

that meant he was in a win I don't know I feel like it's just that maybe it's just because I know Cody's a Star Wars fan so I'm just over here thinking in Star Wars language like that usually is that is usually like a no it's not it's not the time yet because that's not how a good guy and Star Wars beats a bad guy usually it's not like we're still riding the wave here like this is not this was not the time for the good guy to win yeah because the good guy hasn't really been kicked to the bottom yet and maybe all of this is gonna kick him to the bottom where he went to do the thing couldn't do the thing he said there's people in his life now that have been affected where like Brandy was in the crowd Cody's mom was in the crowd they were somewhat involved maybe Brandy gets attacked by Randy maybe shit happens you had Pharaoh that just passed away sadly like there are things that are that there's there's more that could be done on Randy's side to push Cody like Cody's not in that like I guess in Star Wars terms my whole idea is is that usually

the good guy gets better and it probably happens in superhero movies it probably happens all over the place I do not think this is a Star Wars specific thing but I just know that Cody's a fan of it and it's something I am too so I can at least explain it where they are usually being pushed until they can't be pushed no more and it's you are they either choose to be a part of the dark side or they're going to be a part of the good side and they end up overcoming everything and then they defeat the bad guy usually unless they're Anakin Skywalker and the next thing you know they freaking turn to the dark side and all this history and then they're Darth Vader but like there's like there's also the two halves you got here both great paths for a great story and like I said I'm sure it happens in a normal good guy bad guy kind of like stories but Cody wasn't there yet he wasn't pushed to that bottom point that breaking point and we're probably getting closer to it yeah I think it's a slow burn everything's a fucking slow burn with Cody anyway

definitely with Cody he's always he's a he's a as much as we you know he's a student of you know professional wrestling so he's gonna do the you know it's gonna be dramatic when he turns would he actually you know everything he does is dramatic he freaking opens his mouth and it's just what I mean yeah like what I told you about that you know when him and Roman going into WrestleMania 40 and he had that uh they had that promo when he goes you know Cody does his promo and everything and then it's Roman's turn to remember goes it's pretty good it's almost like it's it almost like it was like a rehearsed and he does rehearse his promo he's they see you'd see him doing that on that was that show that they had even Brandy had like a reality reality show that aird after you like I feel like I would do the same thing I mean you have different kinds of people out there some people can just fucking wing it and other people can but it just looks for like it like almost like kind of forced to ish that's the Cody character yeah that's

and that's that's what bro was bringing up was like oh it's almost like it was rehearse you do with it's not just Cody like Roman feels forced I mean I'll hit everybody LA night feels forced the who's those feel for like all these guys feel forced they have their I think so because they have their normal sticks that they're trying to that they're trying to push and I guess maybe our definition at the end of the day when it comes to these kinds of discussions we have to make sure our definitions are are are the same so we're arguing over the same thing yeah like when I'm when I'm thinking about something like this is they are recycling a lot of the same stuff that they're doing they're making something much bigger than it actually is they're saying a lot of nothing and a lot of words and nothing like there's only a couple things that are actually very important like Roman Reigns to me is also is very similar to Cody but in the same way where they and as this is not almost his fault but it's how they present him because he comes back after a

week and he's returning and they're getting that big pop and they advertise them the fuck out of every week that he's going to be there even though he might just show up show face say a few lines go the fuck home true true and so I feel like my codeys might be very dramaticized in the ring but Roman Reigns is aura is what to me is the whole thing along with the lines but it's not just them there are plenty of people that are saying a bunch of the same shit every week and it's just they're trying to make something sound much bigger than it actually is true and I agree and that's what happens with slow burns because how the fuck are you going to slow burn something for months and expect it to feel fresh every week and then say the same things like you really need something to be an in-depth story if you're trying to do that because you're asking like even a TV show storyline to be able to do that and that's that's probably asking a lot true that is true

what else what else on a Sunday nights meet event do you want to do you have a very um let's start with ladies for a second because you had Tatum and Charlotte how do you think this plays out because you have Alexa who's been very much welcoming Tatum into their little group and you have Charlotte who's been pushing back and you have Tatum that one could say cost them the match because what was it be fab kicked her into Charlotte and they had buddy like their heads collide yeah and then Jade was able to had Jade into Charlotte and that's how they get the win like what do you see happens do you think we're still going to continue the growing pains is something going to happen is Charlotte and Tatum going to start feuding in some capacity is Alexa and Tatum going to branch off and they're going to kick Charlotte out and like Alexa and Tatum might turn good bad whatever like or do you think this is just a little this is a hiccup we might solve it we might not but we still got a lot of time before anything really happens

yeah it's a long time i don't think it's a i think it's like a like a growing pain type of thing you know especially if Alexa is going to be partnering with Charlotte at all you're probably going to see a few more matches with Tatum and Charlotte and more not matches maybe backstage segments and all that type of stuff just to get that chemistry go with it you know Alexa's going to be that person to try to get their you know their chemistry you know better than it is or whatever happened on Saturday at Saturday at speed of it or Sunday at speed of it sorry which i'm fine with because their backstage segments have been rather entertaining yeah because i mean at the end of the day they also don't have to be the main thing in the ring because you have the double title scene that should be the main thing that's happening in the ring of course yeah yeah where these three could be backstage and they can have a little three-minute segment that's very entertaining because they don't have to carry the fucking show it can be that it doesn't have to be and i mean some could argue that's a problem we

just said that they could have you said that they could made a better show for like a why not and i feel like yeah they probably couldn't like a some six woman tag match i think they could do it but like i don't know i feel like that those backstage segments right now like just let this is one thing where they they probably should let it work yeah definitely see where it goes because it's helping Tatum you're putting Tatum in a better position than you are a lot of other people that get called up yeah i feel like Tatum is going to be it is already in a much better position that low level vice is probably going to get on raw and maybe it's because i just don't know what low is going to get thrown into but like i mean Tatum got asked to work with charlotte and Alexa right off the bat and she's like it's the perfect shit storm where you have like how we said last we're give Alexa in the middle you have charlotte who's the opposite of them too and you have Tatum who is just fucking weird and it's just an entertaining combo no matter what the circumstances is when you put all that together we have somebody in the middle someone who's the

opposite and the other opposite and then you put them all together and it's just a freaking constant fire yeah definitely we'll see like i said i don't think it's going to be like a breakup or anything like that it's going to be like a like he's like growing pains situation where you know it was an accident you know they both the the sequels is they both they're both doing like the devil figure for like locks right or something like that the figure eights or whatever figure eights and then uh what do you call it b fab came in hit packs we into so it's like it was like an accident type it wasn't like it on purpose so hey it's one of those things that they kind of grow and you know but once we each other and remember is charlotte going to be able to look at it that way because i think charlotte might end up blaming taedum because you know yes have you ever to watch wrestling if we have if charlotte and not show sorry if elixis there no i think elixis at like mediator between

the two but if elixis not to hear this week and it says them too i can see that happening and he is in the in the house um he's saying because i'm clean shaven i'm joining the 1999 corporation for a title yeah usually would you have it would you have a beard would you grow in a beard or any type of facial hair that means you're a heel let's see that's a that's that's what wrestling is pretty much a lot of then you know you have to go jet we have to win all black and everything it's a whole thing but since you shaved your beard off yet it means you're going out and i'm i have to update the freaking things now too like the graphics know that you're you have no facial hair so thanks a lot for that sometimes i feel like it's where i sneeze and i'll it'll be right back so who knows oh boy all right oh we see actually you know what i'm gonna actually

jobber at this point to be quite honest let's see you see the new Halloween game that came out for ps5 i believe they said that uh i you're gonna have to give me the name i don't know if i have seen that i'm an xbox guy what i do try to keep up what's going on on PlayStation and he said you haven't played but watch some games some some play along it looks pretty cool there i used to always watch on twitch i think it was the friday the thirteenth game i would always watch people playing that like they would get like a group of friends together and it was kind of everyone would kind of jump on somebody was uh was it like the jason i think it's a person for that movie and then uh try and kill everybody seemed like a good party game to have like a murder mystery or something it's Halloween like Michael Myers it's the same creators as friday the thirteenth okay so i would imagine that would be a fun ass game then it's probably got to be available

for xbox then cuz friday the thirteenth was available on everything they'd even switch at it which perfect timing to holo weans here go to the store all the holo weans stuffs out maybe they'll end up bringing a holo wean i don't know if they announced holo wean have a frenix t and what if w is going to do anything holo wean theme this year which might be uh uh let's do you i don't even know what they holo wean is this year it is on a uh the saturday ah maybe that's smackdown they'll do something look throw a few pumpkins the background have gane housing some random people dressed up that's probably all that's going to be

let me get some random news that i don't think we covered just to give some random tidbits i want to give a little rest in peace to andy williams this is a w news andy williams the butcher he sadly passed away this weekend at a wrestling event there's not a whole lot of details like a whole lot of fully knowns that have happened with what's going on i think the promoter did release some information information on him and on like on the situation that happened um so you can go search that for yourselves if you want to look into that i'm not gonna spew all that out to you if you do not want to hear it because some of it it's just it's just a sad situation i just seen all the outpouring support for andy the but you know the butcher it's just been it's just been a very sad situation he was only 48 years old then it seemed like it was some sort of cardiac arrest kind of situation but they're they have an or an autopsy they're going to figure out exactly what's going on

but rest in peace to andy williams and our condolences to everybody that was affected by the situation that happened let's see what else do we have out there there's a lot of nxt people that got released which most of these names i don't even know but uh just going through some of the big ones wendy chew she got released Adriana Rizzo she was released zena sterling get a pronounce some of these names wrong but aina run some like that braxton coal jasper Troy pj vasa gary wilson ellen a kesson this is where english is hard for me and markis brown so all these people from nxt they were released i'm just i mean wendy chew and Adriana Rizzo were the ones i was most

familiar with in sad day there's a we have an international tour coming for wwe i don't see them doing any mean roster cuts anytime soon but after that's done looking towards like october ish area i think is when all that is going to be when they're done with their international tour if they're going to do anything maybe it'll be then so marko you're here do you have any opinions on that do you think uh you think we're still going to have some main roster cuts um not asking you to speculate on who that may be but do you think uh summer common you're muted in some fashion i can't hear you at least

and i believe they were all uh released in which i and i assume they weren't just like outright released from their contracts or their contracts were expired oh can you hear me now i can hear you now all right well that was weird um yeah i don't i don't know does it be any main roster cuts um it seems i'm going to use my Dave Meltzer in brain over his brain seems like a lot of the uh main roster people their contracts will probably be ending towards the end of the year so they may not have to do any main roster cuts they may just you know oh you think you think it might be like that i i v nyle situation where i forget if we talked about it before the show i think it was before the show i don't think we mentioned it well sir yeah we did we're like where i v's contract is set to expire and there's been no set of um no talks yet on contracts which from everybody we've heard about that you're resigned or did not sign a lot of these talks happened very much close to the end of their contract anyway or they

accepted the pay cut that's the other thing too well and for her like accepted a pay cut but like it should have to be offered a whole new contract i feel like some people in like uh in like football terms would have been given like a restructured contract like the new day where they just they just signed a multi-year deal and they're already being asked to take a pay cut i feel like i v would just be like kind of given like like i but i i would be surprised if i v nyle was the one making substantial amount of money i feel like she should not be dealing with that kind of pay cut or she should get the fuck out of there if they're asking her to take a 50 like a not 50 k but like a 50 percent pay cut yeah where are they hurting people they asked to take the pay cut i'm assuming anyway i mean yeah it would be their season veterans that have been there for so long that they're like hey we're not using you like that no more like we can't do that

yeah i mean they had the new day and if in a fucking funeral morning storyline if i'm losing the title and they're probably like in the top 10 top 15 of like people that are earning and that's like it's like on a football team where you have like you're like a i don't know like pick a brand of player and he's making 20 million but he's second or third string and you're like why am i doing this exactly yeah that i hear i can go sign somebody who's obviously not as good as you but i'm gonna pay them a lot less and they're gonna do exactly the same thing that you're doing exactly yeah and look at what the new day is doing in a w so what the fuck does anyone care it's so it's the best for all of us they're they're happy us fans are happy so i don't know it's some of these people it being released it might be the best case scenario i mean we could debate it with Bailey we could debate it with ivy um shamus is yet to do anything with his new

um like new life i don't know i don't think he's done any like events alistair black just became some random independence world champion yeah things like progress progress pro wrestling champion it's something like that yeah yeah like he did that like ilia dragging off i think he's able to compete but he hasn't yet so i don't know what's gonna happen with him but i'm sure he's itching to go wherever and we'll come out good enough but a lot of these people it's and it comes down to what we kind of mentioned earlier how like we va we we just glossed over but like there's no jobbers the mid card is like very weird spot like they're building everybody to try and almost at any given point could be a world champion and like i don't know if that's exactly the healthiest thing because you're you're not giving that range of a roster because anybody that's in the ring technically it's supposed to be

able to beat a lot of other people like it sucks when you're looking through the roster and i don't know which one you want do you want to look at a roster and be like okay 80% of this roster can do something or do you want to look at it and be like 30 40% of this roster can do something but i'm seeing that 30 to 40% every single week there it matches every week they're constantly there building their brand where instead now they're trying to get over the majority of the roster because the majority of the roster isn't pushovers where they used to be that way and but it was only making i feel like those top talents worth it damn because your favorite wrestler could only be like seven guys because that's all that was good everyone else fuck where they're gonna do chill so i don't know i feel like both are right in their own ways it maybe you just have to know when to ebb and flow into both scenarios maybe i don't know i feel like that's just a just a general

wrestling debate topic is just like you know like i feel like when i was a kid i kind of enjoyed having only like six people being able to win the world title because it just made them all that more special yeah but then after a while that got boring and you wanted more people to actually be given a chance and to have that world title shot and now it's god i'm tired of them bringing in people and they're like now they're giving big cast the fricken some sort of um like spotlight and then you're given i don't know like all of the ziz mid carders like if he didn't page jivon heavens like they're bringing all these people up they're bringing in these not new names but like they haven't been around in a long time and like they're trying to tell us hey they're worth a damn look how good they are and we're all sitting here like you're not gonna do anything with them yeah exactly why are you trying to tell me that these guys are such a superhero when we know that you're not gonna do anything with them in the first place yeah so it's kind of infuriating in a way

yeah yeah i don't get that like back i mean i don't want to do the back and my day that that type of thing but you do who who the stars word who the you do who the main event was you do who the mid card was did you do who the you know openers or current jerkers as a that's how i like to say now a days it's like it's almost into changeable if you think about it a lot of the uh all the talents like you you you think would be a main eventor and your mind to them it's like no they're not even close air mid carder well it's like they're all like you said they're interchangeable they're all like like we mentioned brawn breaker where like he wasn't doing a whole lot like he's playing a mid card a low mid card kind of guy that's like his whole Chelsea green was playing like a freaking jobber for the most of the year yep like all these people that were looking at some people are just they're nowhere to be found they're playing an injured person for some reason they're just

they'd rather have them be on the sidelines and then go out and have a match because it just doesn't like i don't i there's just so many interesting tactics that they're doing and i it's just very much as debatable because it allowed a lot more people to get over in a better way than he then they ever used to because you look at the jobbers from back in the day like hurricane is very much over with i feel like with fans they know who that is they like to that is but you're not expecting hurricane to go out there and have a fucking ten star match or have hurricane go be the intercontinental champion and that was okay yeah and they you know and he had that interaction i mean he had interactions with uh you know uh mr america as well as you know his raw that was like his like him being the rock of raw that was like that's why you know the hurricane as a rock was that person that came back he was healed at the time obviously you know hollywood rock and he came back and treating

the hurricane as as he would an opener mid card whatever the case may be the rocks hollywood he's main event doesn't have time for the stuff and then he ends up losing to the hurricane crazy like we don't have that like like we don't have that like tier system anymore where you know this person obviously besides like the you know you know Roman rains and pretty much just Roman rains but like you don't know like everyone else can be like drop down to a mid card in a second if you if you if if that was a case like there's no like definitive like made event people that you can like they're obviously like the randy orans and the kody roads and we're like everyone else is interchangeable for the most part if you think about it which is kind of crazy to think sometimes you just make me shake my head yeah uh aces at the chat he says booking the going back to son of nice man of any says booking of oba and

brawn was was indicative of how they book in 2026 half in half out exactly go commit with a win to either no one takes next step sorry nice man event was frustrating for many reasons but that was annoying it's hojo that was like the mo that was the like I said that was the most part of like the most definitive i don't think people hated the whole show as a whole it was that match in particular because that was like that was the match it was like like you said you mentioned early and oba femy coming off the win against brock lesnar he's the next guy brock lesnar said it of the past he's the future brock lesnar gave him the stamp now you get you know you want to bring brawn breaker back into his you know into his you know made events that are like coming up to the made event status and then you have brawn breaker come out you do basically you just re regurgitating the vision into fairness thing and i think that's like how many times can you do that

how the vision interfere in a match like how many times can he the judgment day how many times can they interfere in a match i mean you got a point there but i just i guess going into this match like my my immediate knee jerk reaction is brawn's been not positioned well yes you have oba position well i guess and you're trying to keep brawn a star because it's brawn breaker like i don't know why you wouldn't want to keep like you had him in that position a year prior yeah man but you you can't have brawn breaker just go out there and beat oba femy alone clean that can't happen but then if you have oba femy just beat brawn breaker then it's like well that's it well that's the end of that moving on like that's how i looked at it so this is the only way it could have ended it isn't some sort of like dq or what not and i guess it helps that i pay attention to not saying that other people don't i know you do ace does like other people pay attention what's going on in the news but like there was already reports that

brawn's in read was already supposed to be coming back into um in september like yeah it made sense for it made sense for him to come back for um son and eight's min event yeah uh the naysay then they shouldn't book the match until they are ready at which that is a very good point yes and maybe that's the right answer for this whole thing but of course they wanted to get people talking what else were they going to do with oba femy and maybe it was just a a vehicle to get brawnson reading oba femy to have a feud and you probably didn't even need to do that anyway but no definitely not now you like i said you could have you could have did it in a in a like a crazy finish or a schmoss finish by not having brawnson read you could have had like as i said you could have had brawn breaker just get frustrated like you know him saying like to himself i'm not in that position anymore like i was before and now i have to result to or resort to

a different way of beating oba femy which is by dq not beating him but just like you know digging it no then i'm back and then you bring in brawnson read later that's what i that's what i mean that's only the other way besides a clean finish as i see you know but it just like i said i'm must say i'm trying to make brawn breaker the i'm the scary i'm scared of everyone i'm scared oba femy so i need brawn breaker to protect me unless they go in that route it's totally fine but if they're not then i don't get what they're doing with brawnson really trying to help brawn breaker that's that's what that's all i'm saying i think ace is pretty much saying the same thing it's like pick pick something pick a definitive like where we go with brawn breaker if we try to build brawn breaker are we building him as this unstoppable heel or are you building him as this i'm going to hide behind somebody because i can't be oba femy because i'm not ready yet when i'm ready they haven't it's just he hasn't been an unstoppable heel in a long time exactly so i think that's the

read him him cheating to win or maybe him just have getting the win over over femy but cheating to do it maybe that would have been a better option if people would have been upset about it because it's like okay it's a definitive he cheated definitively it's not like one of those things where you know you see it happen obviously the rough didn't see it and then he gets to win cool whatever then you have it over above it come on say you know you didn't be be up and up you did this dishonest to to be be and then they continue the feud or whatever they could have did that but just bring it i think bring it brawnson read back just to have it return as a shock factor like it's just like if you already read the rumors you weren't shocked that he returned so why even do that that's i mean that's a good point in which i don't know i feel like a lot of people glossed over because that was that was article from a while ago that wasn't exactly like a right now article or like a last week that was i remember it was a couple weeks ago that one came out yeah yeah

and like i knew the timetable anyway for brawnson read because i mean he got injured around elimination chamber time back in february and we're already in september and i knew it was about a six month injury yeah and so like it just a lot of it made sense and he might not even be fully clear to like have a match but he of course can hit some tsunamis and some basic moves yeah so as has some more comments he said oh but should have just won and then brawnson comes out destroys envisions stance tall as a lasting image which marko that was something you've been yeah going a lot during the show they also said they have something with this brawnson putting his foot on oba and being angry creative should lead into it and we're just i kind of feel like that did you see that the uh the so-undefined captain stepping on oba that oba like brushing his foot off of off of him or whatever

then some people are saying it's you know it was unscripted and he did that and you know oba was visibly like upset with it i mean who knows with wrestling markas stooge and indeed nerd god the just like i said who knows with wrestling if it was real or not you got to be kidding me i'm glad i added that button for all of these little theories you have no that's i mean that's what people said i mean that someone else someone did like a screen cap of like they did a top view and a bottom view of like him stepping on oba and then oba like brushing his his leg off of him just people just like was this scripted or was it that you want him to do that was it you know i mean that's kind of disrespectful just put your foot on somebody when they don't you know want you to i mean Brock visibly at one point when Brock and oba were feuding Brock told him to do like hey

put your you know after you did that spirit whatever that spirit bomb or whatever and he was laying down and then oba was standing there like oh over Brock you can see Brock go like put your foot on me and he like puts his foot on top of Brock's chest and he's just like like that but i mean that's a sign of disrespect so maybe who knows what it was if it was scripted and not scripted it made for a topic and discussion i would say i mean that that's fair but i i don't know i i have a bad feeling that it's a it's a work you think no like yeah yeah i think it just doesn't i'm sure shit like that happens but like i don't know i feel like it has to be a very high percentage of the ones that we notice are yeah not anything it's nothing it's just people trying to have something to freaking talk about yeah yeah uh let's see what they said in this dub to be on real world who knows i am always skeptical but that is typically a huge

no-no especially for a monster like oba exactly yeah that's that's what i'm saying yeah and regardless like i said there's something there we've all said it like there there's i'm still holding on to the point of this was was this was about broncin read this wasn't about bron this wasn't about oba this was about getting broncin somewhat close to oba and bronbreaker until he gets injured again that's the other broncin read until he gets until he gets mangled at some point it has to be out for another six months that's the other and then maybe that's my bron oba pushes foot off of his like dude you're just gonna be injured in like a few weeks anyway so i'm not gonna you're not you're not showing any sign of dominance when you made a glass pretty much that's why he did that he's cursed broncin reads cursed i don't know how do you break both your

ankles i mean we jump off a cage i guess i know my own answer he landed on his feet like it like i mean i'm not gonna say like a dummy but uh this is something you might know something but he says it's similar to the roman oh and ear thing a while back yeah they move past it because they're professionals but that okay that to do with the foot yeah that was uh um so what was this um that was roman oh and ear thing i was uh war games uh bossen because i was actually in attendance for this um they had a if you go back and watch it they had like a slap fight robin and oh and does like you know everyone's laid out and it's just roman and oh where's jolly styles when you need them and they go and add each other just slap each other and friggin um Kevin Owens is Hall's back and it's like it slaps oh um the roman but i guess he slapped him in his air um which

ruptured his air drum with some shell like that and um i guess after that after the match or whatever they yeah those like uh there was a heated discussion yeah there was a heated discussion of that because he went a little bit too crazy with it and uh like you said they move past it and you know it happened be professional move on from it and you know it's so one and so forth this could be one of those but this like the foot on the body thing is like a that's different from slapping someone on accident possibly like just getting in the heat of the moment and just like you just go in at each other that's gonna happen but like like willingly just put your foot on someone like you dominated them when they you know that's not the case for it it's just like that might be that's a little disrespectful so i mean that could be it could be something so it was four years the eight says four years ago and smack dab in the middle of a w b in hell on earth controversy wise so it was a tale of two cities at that time and uh people

were comparing a w having a brawl out in jack perry punk and oh and roeman handled it like bro i did not realize that the jack perry see a punk thing was that many years ago but it made yeah it happened around the same time yeah then oh he's right yeah um they you know they had he slapped his air ruptured it whatever cause an injury you move on from it the jack like he said the jack perry see a punk thing you know he choked him out a little bit and uh they didn't move on from it honestly that that kind of actually is probably the perfect telltale sign because like i don't know anything about this roeman owing thing i never seeked it out or it was just it it was in a it was in a big thing that's why i was like it was something that people caught after the fact and then you heard stories about roeman and oh and seven like a backstage altercation on not an alter like fight each other but like you know yeah they weren't happy they were

but they like you said you move on as a professional you know i did wrong i'm sorry and then you move on but the you know it's in the right award yeah it wasn't i never heard about i didn't we know like of course i know about see a pumpkin jack perry because how they handled the situation yeah exactly yeah then so that's why and that's that's i think that's what ace but you could correct me ace if you know i'm saying this but i think he's saying that's what the differentiation is with with professionalism is yeah bro was in roeman handle like professionals hey you did this to me in the ring what the fuck they probably had there like you know they argue to the back like pumpkin perry could have had that same thing with them with the glass crime or river yeah pumpkin easily one of it said hey i didn't appreciate that you know i was just try to look out for you you know me being the veteran you be the young guy i've seen a lot of people get hurt with using real things could have went that way but see i'm pumpkin and who he is you know and

have not taken too kindly to you know people saying thanks him out of pocket you know choke them up a little bit um well you do that in wwe i mean he hasn't done it yet oh so ace says a w has come a long way since that point but it became very obvious the difference between the two promotions at the time a w keeps things tighter now which they certainly do because there's a lot of shit going on in a w that none of us have any idea like we even know about and if we have an idea or just because we just know that they're not on tv or just something like a Tony storm situation but britony else no dude i would have a break i feel like she's gone for like it seems like years almost and then she just goes back up and didn't know what the hell i mean there was like she did say there was rumors that there was like some type of um you know uh like stalker type of thing happening with like a thing and then also that she pulled herself off the shows like that was her decision that you said uh yeah like i uh but no one knows it's not a i hope you're wrong about the

stalker thing i hope that's not true that's happened to all the women wrestler most of the women's wrestler they happen to um what's her name uh fuck don't she she's all with ww anymore she was she said co son son son son you so you debil yes yes a little more and i think it happened they happened to live morgan recently too what i think um mandy rose but i think was there at the andy because i think she was there with sonia when it happened and they're living together with some show i doubt they're roommates they were they weren't living together but mandy was staying like the weekend because i believe they're close friends so i think that happens all the times and not that i'm saying all you know guys are creep towards the lady you know women wrestling i tell you this i am no pervert but the crazy thing is with with that situation i mean if she she talks to me she's on record saying this um you debil vincex man fucking got her out of that house bought her a new house

in a disclosio occasion and fucking gave her insecurity while that after that happened like immediately after that happened yeah because i think that person was going to kill her yeah i remember right fucking got her out of that situation and fucking put her up so like i mean as much as he would all like to think i would also like to think at a lot of other like okay vincex man handled that well i assume all the other company heads would have also done the same yeah of course sure would have i i i see what you're trying to do here but i'm also trying to pay to the best a good guy i'm not saying vincex man is the greatest guy on earth i mean most most rich man most billionaires on earth aren't you know very nice people they have a dark side to a lot of them you can you know search do google searches all you want chats ebt and ask about any you know wealthy person in the history of this world and that's there's some negative stuff that they've done what not including 20 con not sure you know he's very private so we don't know about his

his doings um do we already read this one yeah come along yeah so yeah so i mean yeah ace is right yeah definitely the promotions have been you know you can tell night and day who is doing what um i think like tub tub we have a lot more like people leaking and stuff like there's a random ass stuff getting out you mentioned pages return and like random stuff you mentioned toadie storm we still have no clue what the hell is going on with that what the hell heck could be it could be a very positive situation it could be a very bad situation it could be a lot of you know or like or safety could be in concern it could be a health issue it could be a lot of stuff all I know is she's deaf she or whoever is controlling her instagram account is definitely active we'll say that much that's all that it that's all say she you know he or she or whoever it is you know it's a team they've been doing collaborations with people if someone is like you know artwork or

some chill like that or some type of graphic design they've been sharing it and stuff like that so I don't know we'll see but yeah I mean that's something that's so that's one of the ones right there the Tony storm her just having that angle where she you know got beat up and now she's gone so I have no clue what that will happen she's not on actually she's not on Twitter or X or whatever so you don't know she has an account so you can't track her that way. Oh they have other things with other wrestlers too we're like they're like they were kind of in limbo for a while I mean I mean like I already said I already brought up Andy Williams but you're like resting piece to him but like yeah their group like they were in limbo for like what a year or two like they weren't in a match they weren't in matches for a long time I know I know one of them got injured I think that was a tag team partner like the blade I think got kid like back surgery or something I could be totally wrong on that but I believe he was injured for a while but like they had to overcome all that stuff but like they still weren't able to like they weren't they weren't getting booked but

then you have some people in WWE that are from me w where that happened with like Ricky Stark's when he was there Ricky Saints now I don't even page I don't remember if he was in a weird position like there were some other people that were in a weird position when they were over there and it's just like where was it Penta and Ray Phoenix I think they were in weird positions where like they were kind of I don't know it depends on what wording you want to use but like they just they just fled their contracts expire and they just kind of had to sit there and wait it out so like there is and nobody knows what happens nobody knows if it was a good thing if it was a bad thing if they decided to do it or if they signed a contract and they just weren't being used and everyone just kind of threw their hands up and went well sucks to be you yeah yeah don't actually don't forget the butcher also known as Andy Williams was a guitarist for every time I die the

that band they're from Buffalo rock band from Buffalo so actually they're like you know almost like you know hardcore or metal metal cores you know there's so many different genres of yeah I think I saw metal for it be named but I know with my own genres that I listened to that random ass sight saying that kind of shit they also don't know what the fuck they're talking about yeah yeah either A's says it's a super influential band which I'll yeah definitely like like that kind of music so I think he says every time I die rules so yeah he's a rhythm guitarist too which is now interesting for the band I believe yeah he's a rhythm guitarist but yeah kind of sucks I mean I guess I'm not the biggest exactly like like metal guy so that's probably it just sucks because I'm like an hour and a half from Buffalo like I would know I

should know like some of the more localish bands but no yeah and again you should I live I live it's like you know how the fuck do you come here when you could go perform in Buffalo or you can go to Cleveland or go to Jasper like a fuck when you come here like I think that's always the like the the defense I have for these bands it's like how why don't you come to eerie and I think about it and I'm like oh shit if you just go an hour and a half elsewhere you're gonna be in a much bigger market and probably playing a better venue with more people yeah why the fuck would you come here yeah exactly I'm sure there's some places where you live where it's like why would they come to this random town outside of Boston when they can just go to Boston true like why do I play in Salem like there's gonna be more people in Boston I'll go in Boston like I'm sure there's a venue in Salem but like there's no like big amphitheater or something like her no that's what you want to go to a lot more theaters and venues and stuff like that in in Boston and there would be outside of outside of Boston

oh geez here we go upstate New York has five things snow bills, savers, beer, and buff flow wings and that's 1,000 percent true I forgot ski resorts I think they have them some of the most ski resorts in the US don't forget Westside got to I mean oh no I do gotta say upstate New York is actually a very beautiful place if you actually do drive through it it's I never realized how beautiful it was until you like you kind of drive through it and then no one talks about it because everyone's always so busy talking about New York City or yeah something like that no one ever at least their time talk about everything else Buffalo really I mean obviously Buffalo bills you know because you know they've been around forever and you know there's no real like rivalry and anything like that but that's that's all I do really Buffalo for you know what Buffalo was until like he said all these like you know all these people like musicians and stuff like that started coming out music started coming out of Buffalo which is you know they kind of

said Buffalo separate definitely from New York like if they don't oh yeah New York doesn't like except not I don't want to say they don't accept it but they don't like really acknowledge Buffalo as a area of New York so like when they talk about I'll put it this way so for like hip hop like New York rappers they don't include Buffalo people in that they just include like you know Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx you know that you know the boroughs the five boroughs they don't really include Buffalo in that which and in Buffalo has been like the most consistent so far when it comes to like you know the hip hop side of things which is kind of funny that they're I kind of think that too just I mean the other ones that are keeping it like you know they're not like if you want to go like the they say like the essence part of it they're not like they're not taking things from other areas like New York I want to put it was just like you know oh self hip hop is good let's

copy what the South is doing oh hip hop hip hop on the west coast is let's take what hip hop Buffalo is just like no we're just gonna be consistent and be what we're we're not gonna take from anyone we're just gonna and they got some other big towns around there too like there is some there is some shit that happens there that I'm sure they got plenty of stuff to to talk about like in Buffalo Rochester like there's yeah there's the place the Niagara Falls like there's some there's some bigger towns that are there um I apologize I'm gonna I'm gonna screw some of this up but but Matt from EC I can't remember what EC school or yeah okay because I remember Matt um well he gets annoyed when I call it upstate but going to visit him next weekend and make in the trek to sleepy hollow for their fall festival which I don't remember where sleepy hollow is to be quite honest because there's so many places in upstate New York that I never heard of before even though they're I mean New York so big to be quite honest like I know it's a movie oh I know that oh well yeah it is

you know Buffalo straight or 50 plus miles from me seven hours proper which if you're seven miles from Buffalo then you're basically seven miles from me or seven hours from me it's not in the same orbit and it's and it's not because I mean even Pennsylvania itself it's the east west state the west side of the state is not the same as the east side of the state almost could be too complete different states and I would imagine the same as for New York because we have a lot of Buffalo culture that hits eerie like because we were melting pot of everything yeah this book culture comes here um Toronto because Toronto in Buffalo Buffalo's here along with all the other people from God knows whatever countries that come here like there's so many different things yeah like there there's a lot of random stuff that I didn't realize was like only here in Buffalo where like some small Canadian towns that like hey here where like it's food or like certain type of parties or get together and there's random random stuff that there's a lot of random culture things

that all these lake towns seem to share for some reason let's say I mean we can you know you can bring you know just to bring it back to like wrestling a little bit you know this as far as like the you know there's something I mean there's a there's a couple of you know notable names that have come out of Buffalo that are you know professional wrestling yeah best Phoenix right isn't best Phoenix one I think is Beth Phoenix one or she just build out of Buffalo wait she's build out of Buffalo I know really call sleepy hollow upstate I didn't I didn't say that was that's that that was ace I know I know I know I was I was directed towards it I'm taking the track the sleepy hollow for their fall festival and I go on Google Maps because I'm like okay I got a picture this it's just north in my opinion ace probably has never reason to leave New York City other than the CS family elsewhere but like she's yeah we get you got Mark Merrow Mark Merrow is a native he's

he's built out of Buffalo New York and the total package Lex Luger did you know that I did not know that about him I will say that I'm Buffalo he's born in Buffalo New York Beth Phoenix was build out of Buffalo but not born there right oh let me look up this town because it's a random ass probably nothing town obviously Daniel Garcia you know AW he's a Buffalo New York guy Mikey Whiprock my man how about Mikey Whiprock the Whiprock okay she was built out of Buffalo but this random at this is literally a random ass town that's near nothing it's near the finger lakes the south of the finger lakes that basically so there's a full card is that wrote a song about it's it's just north of Pennsylvania so I'll bring it up there's a part of Pennsylvania forget

the exact county she was referring to but like there's nothing in this county it's basically used for like star gazing and nice camping and stuff and she wrote the song because it was where she would run away too if she if there was a apocalypse if that I'm bringing that up to describe like this is kind of the area that Beth Phoenix is from it was a alarm like Elmora New York it's just south of a town called horse heads the finger lakes are just north of that like there's I it's one of those like I don't know what to tell anybody that's not from the New York Pennsylvania area that's going to have you have any idea of where this is huh it's in the middle of the state south of the state that's where she's from so I don't know where you billar from because it's literally just mountains is all it would be and the finger lakes is oh and I don't

even know if the finger lakes is known to anybody that's outside of New York it's just a bunch of lakes that are very skinny and shapes of fingers that's how they get the name fingers lakes the finger lakes interesting because New York has lakes everywhere just like Pennsylvania does some sure you guys probably do to but yeah okay that's what I'm saying dude it's an upstate to me brother you barely go north a hundred miles okay I'm with Matt I would get upset with you too because I never understood I understand upstate is anything that's not New York City it's like you're right by that definition you're right but also my god you guys might as well just be your own state at this point take Philadelphia with you in New Jersey be one oh boy all right I think we uh we don't we went off the rails a little bit there it's uh I'm not even New York City I'm on Long Island to me that's

all the same I could be wrong I thought that was the most beautiful place on earth I wonder who says that one strong strong island as uh what's the oh yeah it's mjf that's right the most beautiful place on earth yes never been um I'd like to I've never been either I've also never been to Ves Phoenix's from but it is three hours from me maybe a I said I'd invite us out there and give us a tour of the most beautiful place on earth I wonder how long a train ride would be because the train that goes through eerie goes to New York City I have probably a rough train ride that probably take forever yeah because it's like a it's a long track to get to New York City it's it takes some it takes some time well just wait for we'll wait for the invite from Ace to give us a tour of the

most beautiful place so he's an hour from New York City in New York City to me is seven hours away season hour from New York City okay I don't know what I search it on the map I think you're right in you know you're maybe not exactly New York City but you're damn sure close enough um we never really talked about rod I don't think there's really anything to talk about now I mean actually I'm gonna car on fire yeah they said a car on fire that the that called what what are they called nine four six nine four six yeah that's an area code or something I don't don't know I mean it's I don't think it's actually where Royce Keys is from if I remember right because the area code nine four six area code is um

um wait is it nine four six I don't who is I don't get what the reference is because it what's obviously not the phone number code yeah I'm curious okay uh it stands for the first three numbers of the zip code for Oakland California which that okay um which I I mean Oakland and you have I don't think I thought Royce Keys was from like more Sacramento that's it that's what I thought but then you have Jacob fought two who I believe is from the Oakland area yeah well no he's all he was born in Sacramento as well or was I wrong was a Royce Keys is still I get him flipped Royce Keys is from

um some random town in California all the East Palo Alto right I think it says uh yeah it says it's to the north east is the San Francisco Bay yeah he sees yes he's roughly halfway between the cities of San Francisco and San Jose which if if I'm remember isn't Oakland Oakland's right near San Francisco is my geography bad oh on California San Francisco's there San Jose Oakland should be right there I thought I think they are kind of close to each other because like they they obviously picked this for a reason and and Oakland is right across from San Francisco so I guess Royce Keys is closer to it and then

Sacramento is north east of all of this it's like yeah see I kind of I don't yeah I don't know it's not that big of a deal I don't think and then nine four sixes where OTM grew up too which okay that makes sense because I mean Jacob on two basically has been saying that you know he knows what these guys are he knows where they come from across the bridge uh there's a great should Pell skit on San Francisco and Oakland I I I would probably laugh my ass off at that I don't know if you know what Ace is talking about but I just feel like is there we see I I'm sure if it is it from Elcio I've never like watched like one of his actual shows but like I've seen so many clips and I've I thought they were were hilarious huh it's from one of his stands up stand ups is what he's okay so it's not like I don't

I don't know if it's not really the shapel show like they sit the skit just sketch comedy show that he did oh and he also died I'm a completely missed this one he said nine four six or the first three numbers of zip code which is for Oakland California Royce Keys is from Oakland area having Jacob fought to have history of being in the independence in in the California Oakland area yeah which makes sense if Jacob fought two is only just right up the road in Sacramento yeah yeah definitely do you think this I think this clearly means that Jacob fought two is going to be a part of this group at some point yeah I can see that happening I don't know when but I mean either that or they add another perk because he get a thing a cell a cello joins them because I'm not sure if like room will be a part of it but you gotta think if they're gonna do like a four and four type deal with the Usos Jacob and Roman

you know the nine four six is only three people something gonna need a fourth so it's either L.A. or or our solo and what it says from Sacramento that means I assume the Usos are also from yeah they're all from that area they're definitely all from that area I mean they're all probably they're really I mean solo and the Usos are legit brothers so I guess I got confused because I knew that Roman was from Florida yeah yeah he was born in Florida right he wasn't born where they were it was born in Florida and then I don't I mean I I understand they all have different like you know there aren't exactly complete blood relatives of like you know we're like their cousins are like there there's all these relationships yeah I get it but like I just thought it was weird that all of them have this connection to Sacramento and San Francisco and Oakland and all that and then you have Roman was just in Florida just because like it's weird when you're trying to you know to build some sort

of like storyline with this we're like where they're from like you don't know like it's almost weird like if if Jay and Jimmy grew up in that area too it did it kind of weird for Jacob about too sane like you don't know like I know how these guys act I know these kinds of people yeah and then Jay is over here like hey man I grew up in the same fucking area and Jimmy's like I grew up in literally the same area that you did like they're listed as San Francisco for theirs and then Solicico was listed as Sacramento hmm um he said two pack or two-packs always helped me understand the geography in that area which I imagine it's yeah imagine matters to the local people there yeah he did yeah two-packs was a big Sacramento Bay area he used collaborating with like other artists from that area to especially California love so I went him and uh Dr. Dre um yeah I was

just looking at some of their yeah I was yeah they're all kind of like spread out like that feel like like obviously Roman is you know his he's the Anawaii side so his his last name is different from you know Jimmy and Jay's but his you know they're all they I mean they're all family they're all you know then their fathers and you know mothers are related and stuff like that so they are legit cousins between the two rowings yeah he's um he's on the his name's like Lee I think his like actual name is like Lee Atty or something like that Lee Atty and then Joseph's middle name oh let's see uh yeah L E A T I yeah yes so see he yeah his father was born in Samoa Seika yeah they were uh and I'll just because we I was looking up best Phoenix earlier I

believe she was her parents were from Poland okay all right which I just find interesting because also the majority of my family is from the Polish descent that were like on the third generation or something crazy now but there was a point 100 or 250 years ago where all of them were from there how interesting like looking at like they're like lineage and all its I've to say it's a lot of they have a lot of uh without one of the annual war of them I would have thought you had all this shit memorized I know they have a lot I mean there's a lot of they're family trees like huge you don't have it behind you like you don't have a oh no definitely I mean the bloodline family tree is not behind you like the one that the the one that the rock presented at the uh WrestleMania 40 like kickoff show we had that like big

giant tree with all the names and all the type of stuff yeah now okay you should have I would have thought you would have had that frame with how much it's gonna get confusing yeah I get some fusing after a while and I can't that's why you would have to tree yeah I know there's some splits I know there's some like not fully related people I know this blood related people that is blood oath related people as well other than that yeah I'm out oh my god I got money they got money to earn here oh boy all right I think I mean we're at we're at time maybe we're burned the midnight oil on our side anyway we always are burning the midnight well I guess we'll end it here I mean anything else to add to the uh don't want to step in back here when was that the other big thing to happen on raw

or no no she didn't know she lost no no no yeah no live Morgan one yeah Morgan retained live Morgan retained soul rucca and brawn breaker they qualify for the money in the bank yeah bladder match everything else i odyssey and to zawa returned if you if anyone gives a shit about that um it did then uh jivon cost JD a match by walking out with a funkel pop head which is to mimic the size of JD's head which yeah some people thought that sucked I thought it was kind of funny but I you know those things only work when your show is really good and then you hit comedy like that you can't be hidden comedy like that when your show was be deoker like raw was so yeah that that's how those kinds of things have to be delivered and so that was probably a wrong place right wrong time however still thought it was funny um nevertheless but uh ace is booing it i i understand you i am just saying stuff like that has to be a good fucking show

and you could pull shit like that out of a hat it's yeah it's one of those things do that on raw yeah it's common you know obviously wrestling as a you know it's a buffet of things you know comedy drama whatever the case may be and not everything's not for everyone do you enjoyed it as you can see you enjoyed the bobble head he's did it i thought it was i thought it wasn't that it's not for everyone that's the thing it doesn't have to be everyone doesn't have to love it you know there's going to be something for everyone when it comes to professional wrestling i didn't mind it i didn't think it was like funny nor did i think it was awful i just i thought it it was what it was it was it was it was fitting for what they were trying to do i go with it i'm trying to do so fitting for the time i mean who did i do it i didn't boo it i played around at this point i mean i got i sat and seen a boy lying around like i sat through a lot worse in my years of watching professional wrestling so that's that that's not the worst i've seen when it comes out so i'll come out the giant bobble head is like that's nothing compared to what we had to sit could have had the

anonymous raw GM or something like yeah yeah we could have had that we could have had the may young's hand give it to you from the summer fest yeah you could have i mean you could have had a you know fake presidents cut and promos in the ring like they had impersonation about you know George W. Bush for a moment unless i feel like yeah we've seen a lot worse in professional wrestling a bobble head i mean i think that's some of those are funny to laugh at now but yeah there's i think that's all the stuff we need to add into that that potential um patreon series oh yeah yeah the worst rated matches of all time that we should look at some of the worst rated segments and oh yeah that'd be that'd be good that'd actually be really funny you go back and what like the um live-sector with engine leader we go talk about that

um what else you know 12 year old me to think that was the worst thing yeah pretty much every brown panties match or any type of lingerie match that was put on tv hey when they get thrown into like a pool of mud it wasn't yeah what the worst thing out there i don't know judgment date 2003 toy Wilson and uh sable i don't know yeah oh and so cool so cold um pulled the when Stephanie was holding that like drink tray thing and so cold like pulled it from it like ripped their shirt off and she had her just a bra on she was running out of the ring that type of stuff uh those are the days that was different times for sure sick sick man with a sick man was in charge uh all but what i think of the sick man in charge i just think of Tristratus and Linda and Linda

in that wheelchair and i obviously did not watch that live i don't i just there was a weird storyline uh oh okay of course we of course this has to get brought up Tyson thank you for bringing this up to remind everybody about oh my god have pattersid and jail friskos even down oh oh needed to see that one more time in our lives yeah yeah the oh man gold dust and brine pillment loser ways address match there was another one yeah oh man yeah we definitely have to talk yeah we definitely have to we have to get that going future picture on episode coming up from uh from the raw down boys suffer with us please yeah it'll be fun we'll suffer together all right i think we'll end it here everyone thank you for joining or listening
