The road to Crown Jewel is heating up, and WWE is bringing some major matchups to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia! With champions facing champions, personal rivalries reaching a boiling point, and championship gold on the line, there is plenty to discuss heading into one of WWE's biggest international Premium Live Events.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDOWNS
The men's division gives us a fascinating matchup as World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns goes head-to-head with Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn for the Men's Crown Jewel Championship. These two have plenty of history dating back to their Bloodline days. Can Sami prove that he belongs at the top of WWE, or will The OTC remind everyone why he remains one of the most dominant forces in wrestling?
On the women's side, Liv Morgan takes on WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship. Which champion will walk away with bragging rights and the distinction of being the best in the women's division?
LAST MAN STANDING: CODY RHODES VS. RANDY ORTON
Two former allies with plenty of history are preparing to settle their differences in a Last Man Standing Match. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are no strangers to one another, but this rivalry has taken things to another level. How far will these two go to make sure the other man cannot answer the referee's ten count?
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Bron Breakker and Austin Theory put their World Tag Team Championships on the line against Penta and Je'Von Evans. The Vision has made life difficult for their challengers, but Penta and Evans have shown they aren't backing down. Can the challengers pull off the upset, or will The Vision continue to dominate?
We'll also discuss the latest developments from Raw and SmackDown, potential surprises, championship implications, and what Crown Jewel could mean as WWE looks ahead to Survivor Series.
As always, we're bringing our unique, unfiltered opinions to the table. We'll give our predictions, debate the booking decisions, identify the matches with the most potential, and discuss whether WWE has done enough to make Crown Jewel feel like a must-see event.
Who has the most to gain? Which match could steal the show? And who walks away from Riyadh as the Crown Jewel champion?

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 some other stuff, but we are here. We
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19 are watching wrestling. If you know NXT
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22 is on, Corey could put that on his TV
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25 right now cuz he missed Paige and he
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26 missed um
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27 Kalani Jordan, my cousin.
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30 >> Jordan Oh, that match was mhm.
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 >> Chef's kiss. But of course, Corey
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33 doesn't watch that cuz he doesn't watch
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36 NXT because he's a baby. HE'S A BIG
00:03:36 --> 00:03:42 BABY. NO, I'M KIDDING.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 >> ALL RIGHT. But um listen,
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52 a lot of fun, man, um doing the show
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 with those guys. I appreciate them
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55 bringing me on the show.
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 But it's now now we back in the real
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 meeting. This is executives view uh
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00 business. We about to talk some
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 wrestling. So
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 listen, we had a lot to do, a lot of
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05 little time to do it. So, let's get
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06 started.
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 Uh, we can talk about everything that
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12 happened on on the on Raw, everything
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 that happened on SmackDown, but I think
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16 some of the really important stuff that
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 we can call out is what we want to hit
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21 on first is that um
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23 let's start with the John Cena Classic
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26 uh cuz that was basically um the big
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29 announcement uh John Cena made it making
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32 his return uh the first time he's been
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36 on Raw since uh his retirement. Um he
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39 has been on on TV. Obviously, he was one
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 of the hosts on um he well, he was the
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46 host at WrestleMania this past year, but
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 he hasn't been on TV
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51 um since excuse me, since uh since that
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54 retirement. So, he came out. [snorts] He
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56 um he definitely came out and showed the
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59 new belt that is the John Cena Classic.
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 It's a tournament that you can only vote
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04 for exclusively on Club WWE. So, if
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 you're rich like the queen is, you can
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 watch it there. I'm not rich, so I have
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 to bump or you can vote there. I have to
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 bump my uh subscription from her to be
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 able to vote on it. So, really quick,
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16 Sirius, talk to me about the John Cena
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17 Classic.
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 >> You know, I'm excited to see you, you
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 know, who all is in the field. Um you
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 know, you throw John Cena on anything,
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 you have my attention. And then you got
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 Cody Rhodes being one of the
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29 contestants, you really now have my
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 attention.
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34 Um you know, so I I'm excited to see
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36 what comes of this. Um you know, what
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39 storylines and you know, what gets
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 birthed from you know, the matches that
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 are going to be uh in this in this
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47 particular tournament. Um I wonder if
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50 there's going to be a a a a female type
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52 of thing or is there's going to be you
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55 know, how how how how they spin this,
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56 you know what I'm saying? Cuz I mean
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58 John, you know, on his way out wanted to
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 elevate and prop up you know, the
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 women's division um as much as he did
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 did the men's division.
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08 um, this may be the first integration of
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09 this and, you know, depending upon what
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10 happens,
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12 uh, we may have a spin-off and do some
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 other different things, man. But the
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 moment John Cena showed up in a new
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17 shirt, which I got to go online and
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20 order probably tomorrow, you know, with
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21 with you know, with affiliate link, man,
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 that that gray shirt was on point.
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26 Um, and then, you know, you had,
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28 you know, Cody Rhodes involved. I I was
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30 all in, man. So I'm excited of what's to
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32 come. Um, now it could very well be a
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 dud. It could very well be something
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38 that, you know, is is just garbage, but
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39 we we will see. We will see. Time will

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58 I talked to my sources

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10 Orlando. So, Corey, talk to me about the
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13 possibility of of this John Cena
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14 tournament finally getting off the
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 ground that it could be bigger than
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18 anything we might have expected. Two
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21 shows, two Raws on one night.
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22 Um talk to me about the John Cena
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 classic and John Cena never seen 17 on

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36 for a fake title that you could lose the
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38 match, but you could still win in
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40 advance. It's like fake American Idol. I
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43 I don't understand. Um but I will say

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03 I I'm I'm eager to see how they do the
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06 two Raws at once. Like, who's going to
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07 Perth?
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08 Who's staying over here? Is the people
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10 that's going to be on the John Cena Raw
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 only is that only going to be tournament
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13 matches or is it going to be something
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16 else? Like, that that kind of intrigues
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 me. But the tournament, I mean, okay,
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20 Cody's going to win the tournament.
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21 Like, all right, they
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22 >> Probably.
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25 >> So, they so they so they created a belt
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28 so Cody can feel like he's something.
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29 >> No, we ain't doing that. We ain't doing
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30 that. We ain't We're not doing that.
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 We're not doing We're not doing that.
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33 We're not doing that.
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34 >> you already started with the derailment.
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 We're not doing You're just
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37 disrespectful.
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 >> Hold on. Hold on. One last time.
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 Go to the executivesview.com,
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44 use our link, help the channel, help us.
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 If you rock with us, go help us out. Get
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 your John Cena shirt uh because it's the
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49 only thing good coming out the
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52 tournament is he got new merch.
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53 >> Yeah, you know, absolutely
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57 [clears throat] Listen, I I I
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00 Corey, you I I You know what? Sometimes
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00 you just
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 It just It just I don't want to be mean
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 like that and say that, but god damn it,
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07 Corey. Damn it. You know what I mean?
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10 Like, seriously. Um so disrespectful.
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11 Listen, it was good to see John Cena out
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14 there. Um, I'm curious to see how they
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16 handle this tournament. [snorts] Um, I'm
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18 not I just don't have a good handle on
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 what they're doing, but I think the two
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21 shows, two Raws on one night is
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23 interesting. Um, it gives a lot of
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26 talent, a lot of uh bully to show up on
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 either show. Uh, one can be one place,
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31 one could be another.
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33 So that intrigues me. Um, I think John
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35 is making appearance on NXT tonight, if
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37 I'm not mistaken, right? Or
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38 is it coming up soon?
00:10:38 --> 00:10:43 >> No, um, so Cody just awarded the uh
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46 the Dusty Rhodes tag titles and so um
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 >> won the Hank and Tank?
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49 >> Yeah.
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49 Yeah.
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 >> Was it? Yeah, I love those two. They're
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52 great. They're really great.
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54 >> and so right now Cruz Montana is in
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58 action before he gets his last joint and
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59 so Cena is supposed to come up after
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02 this, so he'll be on NXT shortly along
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 with CM Punk. There's a lot of
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 uh main eventers that are going to be on
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09 this episode of of NXT. We already saw
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12 Paige. Obviously Cody's there. Um,
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13 Punk's you know going to be there
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16 messing around with Grayson and who
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18 else? Somebody else may show up, man. So
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18 it's going to be fun to see and
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22 obviously the the the teas, if you will,
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25 946 may pop on NXT and you know nobody's
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26 safe. So we we saw the tweet so
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 >> nobody Yeah, we'll see. I mean, listen,
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 we can get right into that. Um,
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 [snorts] what happens
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 Um,
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40 it it's it's crazy. It's crazy that
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 946 nobody's safe. No absolutely
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46 nobody's safe and that is an absolute
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49 fact. Um,
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52 they they it looked like the Bloodline
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 had the upper hand
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57 coming out of um last week with the the
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01 Tribal Chief and in in um the the Usos
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03 and uh little brother Solo in
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 solidarity. They went after them. They
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 had a nice little brawl and then what
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10 happens? We get the fifth member of the
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11 night Well, sixth member, technically
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15 the fifth member of 946 Cruz Montana.
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18 Um, Cruz Montana called up from NXT
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20 and is automatically inserted into the
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24 biggest storyline of his career. So, um,
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25 [clears throat] I know Corey wants to
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27 talk about this cuz he doesn't want to
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29 talk about John Cena cuz he's being
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 annoying today.
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32 >> It's not that I'm being annoying, but
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33 it's not that I'm being annoying, but if
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 if if if you think I was annoying then,
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38 I'm really about to annoy you now. How
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40 we going to go straight to the end of
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44 Raw without discussing the beginning of
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46 Raw that led us to the end of Raw?
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48 >> get there because once we talk about Can
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49 I cook?
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51 Can I cook?
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52 Can I cook? Can I cook?
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54 >> Hey, look, the meal is lackluster right
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55 now.
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56 >> Well, then you don't got to eat the
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58 [ __ ] all right? You can take YOUR ASS
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01 AND GO MAKE YOU SOME KRAFT macaroni and
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03 cheese and get the hell on. But
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05 [clears throat] we talking about 946 cuz
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07 we will talk about
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09 the when we talk about
00:13:09 --> 00:13:09 [clears throat] if you want to know how
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11 I'm cooking, we'll talk about Crown
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13 Jewel and that'll be plenty of time for
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15 you to talk about your boy, your your
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18 favorite champion of all time, Sammy
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21 Sammy Zayn. So,
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23 yeah, you you're you're a rider die, you
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25 know, you you you you've converted
00:13:25 --> 00:13:25 yourself.
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27 >> one of the good guys, the whole nine.
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28 You know, he he he
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30 >> You know, he the whole nine.
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32 [clears throat]
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34 We don't we don't entertain hoes.
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36 >> Yeah.
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37 [laughter]
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40 Pause. So, no, but seriously, um,
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44 listen, um, Cruz Montana joins the 946.
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46 Corey, talk to me about it and you don't
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47 have a choice.
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49 >> I mean, it's cool. I mean, we we was
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50 trying to figure out who the fifth
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52 member was going to be.
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54 Um, and I was leaning towards them not
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56 getting a fifth member and just having
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59 something like Sammy helping them out
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01 after after Crown Jewel. But they got a
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03 fifth member.
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04 Y'all know more about him than I do cuz
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08 y'all NXT fans. But everything I've seen
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10 with his story of growing up in in New
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11 York and
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12 >> From from the Bronx, from the Bronx.
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13 >> Yeah,
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15 yeah, so it's like, hey, he fits into
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18 the street he fits in
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20 in one night. he already looks like he
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22 belongs more than uh Melo. So,
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24 >> Yeah.
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26 >> Um I like it. I like what they're doing.
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28 My only fear is what we've
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30 said from the beginning.
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33 What happens after War Games?
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36 Where do they go with this group?
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38 Cuz now you've brought in it's five
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39 members.
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42 Three of them fresh up from NXT.
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43 You don't want to fumble you don't want
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44 to fumble them before they even get
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47 started. So, hopefully they have a plan
00:14:47 --> 00:14:51 for after War Games or after Wrestle
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52 palooza when they're done with the
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55 Bloodline because if they do it right,
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56 this group looks like they could do some
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00 things. So, I I liked it. 946 and and
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02 Bloodline is pretty much
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03 it's pretty much what's driving Raw
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04 right now and
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05 >> locked in, right?
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07 >> Yeah, yeah. So, it it it's cool. I I I
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09 I'm excited to see where they go with
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10 it.
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12 >> I liked [clears throat] Cruz Del Toro
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14 and Joaquin Wilde the 946. I was one of
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15 the guys and I said it to you guys that
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19 they didn't want a fifth member in 946.
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22 You wanted um Montez Ford. I was happy
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25 if it was 4 + 1 going into War Games,
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27 but
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29 I really like Cruz Del Toro. You know,
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32 if you know his work, he worked his way
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35 through the Indies and into AEW,
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37 you know, took a bet on himself, went to
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40 TNA, but went came you know, when he was
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42 in TNA and they rubbed elbows, you saw
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44 two guys
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47 when TNA had the partnership with NXT,
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49 when they had that little war that like
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50 the invasion war that was good. You saw
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53 Joe Gacy and you saw Cruz Del Toro.
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54 And
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57 Gacy was immediately signed up after his
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59 WrestleMania appearance with uh Randy
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02 Orton and Cruz Del Toro was like
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04 [clears throat] but he did what a lot of
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07 people should do like Blake Morrow did.
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11 He went to NXT to to learn his craft and
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12 he had some really good matches, but you
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15 could tell like this guy is good. Now,
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17 did I think he was going be moved up.
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18 Oh.
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20 [laughter]
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23 Melo Melo is uh cosplaying. He's like,
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25 you know, you know, what's up my G? You
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27 know, he's like um
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28 >> [laughter]
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31 >> He's he's literally he's
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33 he's literally
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34 >> Off topic, you know who actually should
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36 think about joining this non-four
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38 faction group?
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42 >> Damian Priest.
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44 >> I don't know. I don't know.
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46 I don't know.
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48 >> Kick Melo out because kick Melo out
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50 because he he he he's fraudulent.
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51 >> Yeah, yeah, he's literally the black
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53 Malakai Black's most wanted. BUT UH
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54 >> RIGHT.
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56 >> DAMIAN PRIEST IS ABOUT THAT LIFE.
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58 >> PRIEST BUT BUT BUT BUT
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00 BUT PRIEST CAN'T do it because Priest
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02 has been a main eventer. He'll
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03 >> I know. That's what I'm saying. I I mean
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05 I I get it, but I mean to to coach's
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08 point, like
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09 Priest is about that life. Montana about
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11 that life. You know what I'm saying? So
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12 >> Only they could they could play that
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15 part. Um but Montana like I said, like
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17 he he he made his way through NXT,
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18 [clears throat] cut his teeth there and
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22 learned the WWE WWE way, I mean, and you
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23 know, he comes to the main roster as a
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25 surprise entry. The way they did it was
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28 really good. I think it was really
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30 important to have him debut in New York
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32 in the Bronx I mean in the Bronx, in
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34 Brooklyn, but in New York, right? When
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37 he took the mask off, like I think fans
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39 that knew who he was, like they were
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40 like,
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42 I can't I cuz I didn't see it coming.
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44 Nobody saw it coming. And you know, it
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47 it just he just looks dangerous. And I
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49 love that about him. And I love that
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51 where he can go with this. Now you got
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53 guys that are rubbing elbows with the
00:17:53 --> 00:17:57 OTC, with the Usos and and Sammy you
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00 know, not Sammy, but um Solo and
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01 you know,
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04 it's it's a it's an honor to be in the
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05 ring with those guys and have those guys
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07 doing work for you.
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09 >> At some point at some at some point
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11 throughout all of this, and I think your
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14 boys just pulled up.
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16 At some point throughout all of this,
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18 people are going to have to start giving
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20 >> Here they come.
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20 >> Yeah, here
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22 >> come cuz
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24 cuz yeah cuz cuz cuz Cruz Cruz is on
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27 Cruz is on um NXT doing a match.
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27 >> Mm.
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29 >> Yeah, well they're about to jump him.
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31 >> ambushed right now.
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32 >> Well, he's getting ambushed by the Dark
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33 Order, so.
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35 >> Yeah.
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36 >> Jada Parker, boy.
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39 >> Jada Parker, good Jesus.
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41 >> But but like I was saying, at some point
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43 throughout all this, I'm going to need
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45 I'm going to need people to start giving
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48 the Usos and Solo and Roman some credit
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49 because
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51 I feel like I feel
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53 I feel like I feel like a year ago we
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55 were on here and it wasn't just us. It's
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57 everywhere on the internet.
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59 It's people asking, well, how are we
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02 going to get new stars over?
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03 They're not they're not building new
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05 guys. They're going with the same Well,
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07 all Roman and and the Bloodline is doing
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10 is trying to get new people
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11 in the main event scene.
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12 >> Mhm.
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14 >> So so we got to acknowledge that. We got
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16 to Hey, these dudes are giving you
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18 They're They're bringing kids directly
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21 from NXT and putting them in the room
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23 with Roman and the Bloodline. That don't
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26 happen without the Bloodline saying we
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29 want to work with these kids. Yeah, so
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30 so at some point we got to get these
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32 dudes the credit because they're doing
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34 something that the company hasn't been
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36 doing for years. They're trying to get
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38 new stars over because they know
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39 >> Mhm.
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40 >> time it's time for some new blood out
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42 here. So
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44 we got to appreciate them.
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46 >> And appreciate what they're doing. I I
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49 love what they're doing. Like Roman has
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51 Like we said it for weeks. Corey, you
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53 said it. Sirius, you said it too. Coach,
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54 everybody.
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57 They Roman Reigns has won the best years
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00 of his career not because he's carrying
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01 the title, but because who he's working
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02 with.
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04 After CM Punk,
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06 [snorts] you know, he worked with Jacob
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08 and made him bonafide. You know what I
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10 mean? Like it or not. Like that guy is
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12 he he's elevated because he rubbed
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14 elbows with Roman Reigns.
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16 I mean, [snorts] we haven't seen LA
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17 Knight on TV in a couple weeks, but that
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19 match he had with him put him in a
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21 different level. Penta, he who he worked
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23 to put him on a different level. Now you
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25 got Royce Keys about to benefit from
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27 that and the whole
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30 um 946 like who you know Cruz Montana
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33 was able to
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34 put his hands on Roman Reigns
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36 >> comes Cena.
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38 >> hold him down yeah hold him down and
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39 like
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40 you know
00:20:40 --> 00:20:40 >> With a new shirt.
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43 >> have dominance over the OTC. When have
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45 you ever seen somebody have dominance
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46 over the OTC like
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49 >> On his first night. So it's like
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52 he's putting these kids in a good spot.
00:20:52 --> 00:20:52 >> Mhm.
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55 >> He's he's he's continuing what Cena
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57 tried to do with that Saturday Night's
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59 main event last year. They're trying to
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02 get these kids in a spotlight
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03 and and it's like yo you got to
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06 appreciate it like hell even as much as
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08 I don't watch NXT and stuff and I know
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10 why they're doing what they're doing
00:21:10 --> 00:21:13 tonight, but even somebody like Punk and
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15 Cody going to NXT
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18 they're trying to get your eyes on these
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19 new kids.
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20 >> Mhm.
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21 >> Like give them their credit. I
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23 understand people are tired of the
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25 Codys, the Punks, the Romans and all
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27 that being on top,
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29 but they're trying to get you some new
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30 people to see.
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32 >> Well I mean I think that's the thing
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33 though I mean you see what I'm saying
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34 because [clears throat] like we've had
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36 these conversations and and and this
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39 space and other spaces where you know
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41 it's always Ria, it's always Cody, it's
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42 always the thing, but the problem that
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45 we've always said was you know creative
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48 and developmental did not invest you
00:21:48 --> 00:21:52 know properly into building these other
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53 these other stars and these other
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56 individuals to the point where you know
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58 in a couple years those guys can can
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02 leave. Like Stacy is big on you know
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04 Roman has two years left and Cody is on
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06 his last contract and and all the
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08 different things and if you don't
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09 generate
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12 a buzz and an interest
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15 in the up and comers from the guys and
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17 girls if you will that are already
00:22:17 --> 00:22:20 there, then you've missed an opportunity
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22 to to connect that there's there's a
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26 chain missing in the link, right? And
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29 stuff like today like, hell, we have a
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32 good portion of the main roster people
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34 at NXT right now. I mean, you know, we
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36 just talked about Paige. Like, we all
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38 love Paige.
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40 She's mixing up with Kiana Jordan right
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42 now who's on the come up.
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43 You know what I'm saying? It won't shock
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45 me if we see her in a couple weeks, you
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47 know what I'm saying? On on the main So,
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48 it's it's it's great that the way
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50 they're doing this and and I hope that
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52 this is not a one-off. I hope they
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54 continue to
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57 to to have, you know, stars go down and
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59 and and interact with the younger ones
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01 and get, you know, tightened up in
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03 little storylines and different beefs
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05 and you know, it it it makes for stuff
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08 like Royal Rumble um that much more
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10 entertaining if you because again,
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13 these stars are asked to come up and
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16 then mingle and be in matches and and
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18 and and do things with the main event
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22 guys on Royal Rumbles and you know,
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24 Elimination Chambers and and you know,
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26 TLCs and and and all the other major
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29 PLEs that we need a lot of bodies um you
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32 know, to to to fill. So,
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33 I I I'm with it, man.
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34 >> And I And I
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36 And I know somebody and I know
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37 somebody's probably yelling at their at
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39 their screen like, hey, we know who
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40 these people are, but you got to
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43 understand, it's not about what you know
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45 because you not the target cuz you die
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47 hard. It's about the casual. It's about
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50 the casual. Like, yeah yeah, it's like
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52 like hey, if if I see you on Raw for the
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54 first time ever, I don't watch NXT, and
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56 the first thing I see you do is put J
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58 Uso through a table,
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00 beat down Roman Reigns, got my
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02 attention. It's like, all right, they
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04 must be something cuz they like
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06 everybody's not going to be old, but
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07 everybody's not going to walk in and you
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09 look at them and just be like, hey,
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10 I ain't never seen him before, but I
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12 know that is a star.
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14 Everybody's not like that. So, you you
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15 got to
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17 you got to do it this way and and
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20 >> Yeah, like it it's it's like Corey like
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22 when
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23 Kane first came out and tombstoned
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25 [clears throat] the Undertaker,
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27 everybody took notice to Kane because he
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30 rubbed elbows with the Dead Man. Some
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32 people come in and they they rub elbows
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34 with JD and and have a Funko pop. You
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36 know, like
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37 [laughter] like John like Joe Hendry,
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39 you know what I'm saying? But it it's
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42 different when Cody Montana is going at
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44 the OTC and taking them out. You know
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45 what I mean? So
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47 And and I agree with you. Listen, Corey,
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48 I give you a hard time. I give Stacy a
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50 hard time. We talked about it yesterday
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52 this morning and like
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54 and I and I implore you guys to watch
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57 NXT, but like you don't have to. It's
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59 fine. I I hope you guys know who these
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02 guys are because I watch it.
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04 Sirius watches it. Coach watches it and
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07 we see these guys working and we like
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09 wow, man, these guys are really good and
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10 you guys are missing out. And that's
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12 because I watch it all the time.
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14 But you don't watch it. Ignorance is
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15 bliss and I say that about a lot of
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16 things. I don't watch it. If I don't
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18 watch it, I don't know what I'm missing.
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19 Ignorance is bliss.
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21 But
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23 it's different now that
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26 you can see the major talent like John
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28 Cena is on NXT. When has that ever
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31 happened? You know what I mean? CM Punk
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32 is doing what Roman said he's going to
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35 do and send you behind the NXT and show
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37 the young guys how to do it. You know
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40 it's the OTC. Ain't never a lie. But
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41 [clears throat] you can definitely see
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43 even though it's a smaller crowd
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45 it's [snorts] smaller ratings.
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48 Um it's in it's in the studio of of the
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50 Performance Center.
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53 NXT is important. It's not as important
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54 as Raw. It's not as important as
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55 SmackDown,
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57 but it's important and they're building
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00 up this to be a third brand to that
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02 point and they do travel a little bit.
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04 They do they don't do all their shows
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05 from the Performance Center. The
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07 majority of the time they do.
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09 But you know they have little tours here
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11 and there like they they they tour Texas
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13 and all that kind of stuff. So it's
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15 growing. It's getting bigger. It's not
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17 going to be as big as the main two that
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18 it's just not going to be at that level,
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20 but it's an important show and I
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22 I'm glad for these guys.
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24 >> It's definitely important because this
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25 is where you start. This is where your
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27 future's coming from. So I understand
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29 it's important. My and it's not really a
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32 issue. It's just like I need I need like
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33 I said to you all in the chat I need
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36 continuity. Like all right, so I've seen
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38 all these people come up from NXT
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40 and you've literally continued nothing
00:26:40 --> 00:26:43 from NXT. Like I said earlier and my old
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45 my old video will come out eventually,
00:26:45 --> 00:26:49 but in NXT Oba was Oba was beat.
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51 He's been beat. He wasn't this
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53 unstoppable force. You bring him to Raw
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54 and it's like
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56 and eventually we'll talk about it, but
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57 it's like okay, now he's booked like
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59 Goldberg can't nobody touch him.
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01 Give me the give me the continuity from
00:27:01 --> 00:27:06 from NXT. Like like like 946
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08 they was with Jada. Y'all had to tell me
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10 that because you know who didn't tell me
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11 that? The announcers on Raw.
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13 >> The announcers on Raw and they still
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14 haven't told you that.
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15 >> Yeah, they're not connecting connecting
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18 dots and then I'll then somebody like me
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20 will be like, you know what? What they
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21 do on NXT when they come up is going to
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24 carry over. So I probably should watch
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25 that.
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26 >> Yeah, [snorts] that's
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29 >> my only here's my retort to that, okay?
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30 And I'm going [clears throat] to sound
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32 like I'm going to sound like a jerk, but
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34 rock with me for a minute.
00:27:34 --> 00:27:34 You know
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37 >> I mean and just real like Series is
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38 always a jerk especially to me, all
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39 right? So just
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40 >> I was going to say I don't know why he
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41 said I don't know why he said I sound
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42 like a jerk. [laughter] That's just
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43 >> YOU KNOW
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46 I MEAN you can lead a horse to water,
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48 but you can't make them drink, right?
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51 >> There there's only going to be so much
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53 hand holding
00:27:53 --> 00:27:57 and and spoon feeding that the WWE main
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00 event announcers are going to do because
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03 they present you with an opportunity and
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06 and and and a product that marries the
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08 storylines together. For example, you
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10 just mentioned you had no idea that Jada
00:28:10 --> 00:28:15 and OTM were were previously tied.
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17 You know what I'm saying? They they
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20 Oh, Zillow, well done. Well done. Well
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21 done.
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24 Yeah, well done. Um anyways, you had no
00:28:24 --> 00:28:28 idea, but that story was told at NXT. So
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30 when they come up to the main roster,
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33 you can easily connect the dots.
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35 Now I'm a
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36 I'm a somewhat agree with you with this
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39 Oba Femi thing because we've we've been
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41 arguing about this for a significant
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43 period of time.
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46 Like Oba Femi was beat
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47 down here in NXT.
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49 >> Not very often though.
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52 >> And you know what I'm saying? Um
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54 you know the storylines that couldn't
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58 been told you know from NXT or not being
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59 told in the main roster, Trick,
00:28:59 --> 00:29:04 Williams, Melo, uh Jevon, Oba, um all
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07 they they they they all just went round
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09 and round and you know there there were
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12 some incredible matches. And I for one
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14 do believe that
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16 if it worked down in NXT, it can work on
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18 the main roster, which is why I was so
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22 puzzled when Melo was spending 90% of
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24 his time in catering before Royce came
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27 and got him. But there's a product and
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30 there is an opportunity in a way for you
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33 to understand um you know these these
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35 these dots being connected.
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37 Um and then for whatever reason, you
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39 know busy, you know whatever the case
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41 may be,
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43 you and others are not connecting those
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44 dots.
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46 But the dots are there to be connected.
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47 So there's only so much hand holding
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49 that the WWE universe and those of us
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52 that are mega fans if you will
00:29:52 --> 00:29:52 can do for you.
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54 >> back it goes back it goes back to what I
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57 said earlier. It's not about you because
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58 you watch it.
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59 >> Yeah, but
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02 >> The thing is you can't you you can't
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03 Go go go go go go.
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05 >> But for a casual that doesn't watch it,
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07 I think that's the failure. And I And I
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10 I agree with Sirius more, but I see
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12 where Corey's coming from because
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15 NXT has always been treated as separate,
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16 as something that's not a part of the
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19 main two brands. So I think they're so
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22 used to not bringing those storylines up
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23 with them
00:30:23 --> 00:30:26 that now that coaches saying what I
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28 agree with, you have to treat NXT like a
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31 brand on the level not on the level, but
00:30:31 --> 00:30:34 treat it like a a third brand.
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36 I think it's creative's job, Shawn
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39 Michaels and Triple H and team to bring
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41 these storylines along with them because
00:30:41 --> 00:30:45 you've had 19 call-ups in 12 months, but
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46 you haven't brought the storylines with
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48 them. I think that's a failure because
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51 of how NXT used to be handled
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54 for years, for 10 plus years, that now
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56 they have to get away from. If you want
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59 this to be a major brand that people
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01 have to pay attention to, then the
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03 storylines have to connect. You have to
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04 say that
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07 like you have to say Sammy Zayn is a
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09 former Intercontinental champion, a
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11 former Tag Team champion, a former NXT
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13 champion. You have to make those
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14 connections.
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15 >> I will say this though.
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16 [snorts]
00:31:16 --> 00:31:19 I will say this, having again, I may be
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22 jumping the gun here, but having Shawn
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24 sit in Dave Pritchett's seat
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26 when he leaves is going to significantly
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27 help.
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28 >> Yeah.
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29 >> Because
00:31:29 --> 00:31:30 >> That's the rumor.
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32 >> Who the who the who the hell is Dave
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34 Pritchett?
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35 >> With Bruce Pritchett. Bruce Pritchett.
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37 >> Bruce Pritchett I know. I know. I'm just
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40 giving him A HARD [laughter] TIME.
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42 >> SO YOU DO KNOW THINGS OUTSIDE OF RAW AND
00:31:42 --> 00:31:46 IT'S NO, I'M KIDDING. GOD.
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48 >> HAVING SHAWN SIT in that seat is going
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51 to be major because again, Shawn has
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53 intimate relationships and intimate
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54 knowledge and connections with these
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57 stars that are now being called up.
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01 So I I think that's going to help.
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04 But again, I'm I'm on the fence of Leo.
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06 The product is there. You can lead a
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08 horse to water, but you can't make them
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09 drink it. You know what I'm saying? For
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11 whatever reason, there are others that,
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13 you know, doing other things, but
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15 I shouldn't have to
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16 >> Serious.
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18 >> I'm just keeping it real with you.
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19 >> Serious.
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20 >> I shouldn't
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21 I shouldn't have to hold your hand.
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23 >> I'm not I'm not 100% disagreeing with
00:32:23 --> 00:32:26 you, right? But I'm Ricky Starks.
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29 I beat Oba Femi in NXT.
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30 I've never mentioned it on the main
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32 roster. I've never said it.
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33 >> That's what I'm saying. That's what I 'm
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35 saying, Corey. That's the disconnect of
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37 how they
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39 run. That's how they used to run
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40 >> NXT. [clears throat]
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41 They have to wipe that slate clean. They
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43 have to stop it. If you're going to keep
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46 bringing up this time, because it's not
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48 going to stop with Cruz del Toro.
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51 Kalani's coming. Zoey is coming.
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54 Zoey is Zoey is amazing. Like I love her
00:32:54 --> 00:32:54 work.
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56 >> He he had he had no idea who she is.
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57 >> That's not true. The first thing the
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59 first thing the first thing Zoey should
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02 do when she comes up is jump Sol Ruca.
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03 >> Bingo.
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04 Bingo.
00:33:04 --> 00:33:04 >> Yes.
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06 >> That's all I'm saying.
00:33:06 --> 00:33:06 >> Bingo.
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07 >> Yeah, SO ZOEY
00:33:07 --> 00:33:10 >> WELL, SINCLAIR is coming.
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11 Wren is coming.
00:33:11 --> 00:33:15 >> Wren QCC is coming. [laughter]
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17 Listen, and we all know like I love me
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20 some Wren Sinclair. Shout out to coach.
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22 You know, but
00:33:22 --> 00:33:26 he he he's she's coming. And then Kendo
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28 Gray is coming right behind her. And
00:33:28 --> 00:33:32 Kendo Gray I I I think you've seen her,
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34 Corey. If you haven't seen her,
00:33:34 --> 00:33:38 she is she is the female
00:33:38 --> 00:33:38 >> Kurt Angle.
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41 >> Kurt Angle. And then Izzy Dame is
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42 coming.
00:33:42 --> 00:33:42 >> Yeah.
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44 >> She's amazing.
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46 So you can't These These are what? Five,
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48 four, six guys that we called up right
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50 away. Part of Dark State is going to
00:33:50 --> 00:33:53 come up. Miles Borne is going to come up
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55 because he he's he's he need to get away
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57 from my girl, but he's coming up. You
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58 know what I'm saying?
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59 >> Yeah, he
00:33:59 --> 00:34:02 he he's going to go right to Raw, too.
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04 >> Yeah, Corey knows these names because I
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06 talk about them, and he's seen clips of
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08 them. And Stacy knows these names
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09 because she seen clips of them. She's
00:34:09 --> 00:34:15 seen me talk about them.
00:34:15 --> 00:34:15 >> Yeah.
00:34:15 --> 00:34:19 >> Kalani Jordan had a major feud with any
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20 of the women that's coming up on on the
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22 brand or been on the brand. I need to
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24 make that connection that Zoey has had a
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27 major feud with Sol Ruca and had an
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29 amazing glow-off match before Sol Ruca
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31 went to the main roster. If you just
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33 ignore that history, that's a that's a
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36 discredit to the fans that watch NXT.
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37 That's a discredit to the fans that
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40 don't pay attention to NXT, and that's a
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42 discredit to those those wrestlers,
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45 those talent that had amazing storylines
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47 that you have to start I don't like the
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50 factory reset that they have to do on
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52 Raw. You got to get away from it.
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54 >> Especially with some especially with
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56 somebody like Zaria. See, I'm going to
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57 keep going to Zaria because I actually
00:34:57 --> 00:35:00 watched that feud and I saw their blow
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02 off match. Somebody like Zaria was so
00:35:02 --> 00:35:04 Ruka's in she's in title pictures and
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06 everything else on Raw. First thing
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08 Zaria should do is cost her a title.
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10 And now it's like, hey, you thought you
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12 was done with me. Well, I'm here now.
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13 Boom.
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15 Something that small sets off a feud.
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18 Now you got this kid from NXT in a top
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20 feud with one of your young stars that
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22 you're trying to build and boom, you off
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23 to the races. It's simple.
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25 >> IT'S IT'S COMMON SENSE. It's common
00:35:25 --> 00:35:25 sense. I'm with YOU THERE.
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27 >> AND WHAT DOES that do? What does that
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29 do? It gives Zaria credibility. It gives
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31 Zoey Zoey Ruka
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33 a storyline feud. And guess what Corey's
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35 going to do or somebody like Corey's
00:35:35 --> 00:35:38 going Hey, should I be watching NXT now?
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40 Should I be over there watching NXT
00:35:40 --> 00:35:43 because of
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45 [snorts] You know what I mean? So um
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46 I love what I
00:35:46 --> 00:35:48 >> why why why why scoot in the in the in
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50 the chat? Chad's in here and get cooked
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51 too.
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52 >> Yeah.
00:35:52 --> 00:35:53 [laughter]
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54 Scoot, if you want to come in, come
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56 holler at your boy. But um yeah, but
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58 that that makes you want to watch NXT
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59 because it's like, yo, I'm missing
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02 something that I should be watching.
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03 Yeah, it it it
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04 >> look look it's like it's like look that
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06 these people had history in NXT. It's
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07 like, oh, well,
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09 I missed all of that. Now I need to go
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12 back, learn that or start watching it
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13 because now I know when you bring them
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15 up, you're going to connect it and I'm
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16 not going to have no idea what's going
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17 on.
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18 >> Mhm.
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21 >> Like for me to for me and and I go I go
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23 to Oba because of how I feel about how
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25 they booked him. For me to see Oba go
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27 through everybody he's going through and
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28 for y'all to get in the chat and be
00:36:28 --> 00:36:29 like, well, you know he lost to Ricky
00:36:29 --> 00:36:30 Starks, right?
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32 The hell you mean he lost to Ricky
00:36:32 --> 00:36:32 Starks?
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35 >> Yeah.
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37 >> So
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39 >> Yeah. And he did and it was a really
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42 good match. Oba made them look good. Oba
00:36:42 --> 00:36:43 made him look like a million and Ricky
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45 Saints,
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48 um, he he just, he that's I liked his
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51 work, but watching that little feud with
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53 Oba and then watching him take the lead
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55 of the Invasion storyline with with
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57 Trick Williams made me appreciate those
00:36:57 --> 00:37:00 two really much a lot and I was like
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02 when Ricky Saints came out I was like
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03 y'all going to be in for a treat with
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05 this guy, you know what I mean? I I love
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07 what I see from this guy so um, yeah I
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08 think
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10 >> let me let me let me tap into something
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12 you let me tap on something you just
00:37:12 --> 00:37:15 said. You said when he feuded with Ricky
00:37:15 --> 00:37:17 Saints he made Ricky look like a million
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18 bucks.
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19 That's a that's a layer to the character
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21 on the main roster that I didn't know he
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24 had because all you've shown me is that
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25 he can Goldberg you.
00:37:25 --> 00:37:26 >> Mhm.
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28 >> Like you got to
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30 Come on.
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31 I need you to connect some of this
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32 stuff.
00:37:32 --> 00:37:32 >> Right
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34 >> wasn't all he wasn't always this
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35 dominant.
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37 Like come on, just tell me something.
00:37:37 --> 00:37:39 Give me a reason to watch Invasion.
00:37:39 --> 00:37:42 >> watch his matches, Corey, it was a back
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44 and it was never like a
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45 five [clears throat] eight minute
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47 squash. Like his match with Javon was
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49 back and forth. His matches with with
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51 >> That chain lasted like 15 minutes. It
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52 was a it was a long ass match. It was
00:37:52 --> 00:37:52 good.
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54 >> it was a long match. It was a back and
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56 forth match. That's the Oba I'd rather
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58 see instead of this dominant, you know,
00:37:58 --> 00:38:00 squashing type of match. Maybe a couple
00:38:00 --> 00:38:03 moves and then I I I I kick out of uh a
00:38:03 --> 00:38:06 couple brass knucks in a in a tsunami.
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07 Like I don't want to see that. I don't
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10 want to see that and I I hate it. Coach,
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12 kayfabe is dead. Get in cuz I know you
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13 want to cook on this. Go ahead.
00:38:13 --> 00:38:14 >> [snorts]
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16 >> Well, no, I I heard I heard Corey. I
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18 think I misheard Corey. I think he said
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19 I thought he said Steve, but I think he
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21 said Scoop. So like my bad, y'all.
00:38:21 --> 00:38:25 >> No, no, SCOOP SCOOP SCOOP [laughter]
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27 I DON'T SCOOP
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29 SHOUT OUT TO THE TAG YOU KNOW
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31 Tag Podcast. I I did a podcast with
00:38:31 --> 00:38:33 them. I I guested on their podcast last
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36 Thursday. Uh really appreciate those
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37 guys. They're in the comments. They
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40 support us. We support them. So Scoop
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42 and and and
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44 Scoop actually took time out of his doom
00:38:44 --> 00:38:47 scrolling on on uh
00:38:47 --> 00:38:47 >> Oh, God
00:38:47 --> 00:38:48 >> bless him for that.
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51 >> on on on Black Planet and everything to
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53 to get into the chat. So, we appreciate
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56 you, but nah, like it is what it is, but
00:38:56 --> 00:38:56 um
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58 >> Real quick Real quick before you move on
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00 because I actually got NXT on.
00:39:00 --> 00:39:00 >> Yeah.
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02 >> I saw earlier today somebody float an
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04 idea and I actually loved it.
00:39:04 --> 00:39:05 >> Mhm.
00:39:05 --> 00:39:07 >> Should Punk take this title so that he
00:39:07 --> 00:39:10 can lose it back to Grayson in Perth?
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12 >> If he If he loses it back to Grayson,
00:39:12 --> 00:39:15 great. If If I would love for Punk to do
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17 the job
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19 to somebody up and coming that needs it.
00:39:19 --> 00:39:22 It would have been Cruz. I really Tony
00:39:22 --> 00:39:23 D'Angelo's another guy that
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25 >> Tony D'Angelo's another one.
00:39:25 --> 00:39:25 >> He
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26 >> I'm surprised he's not up yet.
00:39:26 --> 00:39:28 >> I'm surprised he's not up yet either. I
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30 was hoping if if it was going to be an
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33 NXT guy in 946, I was kind of hoping
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35 with Tony D'Angelo cuz I really like him
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38 and he's his work is good, but I'm not
00:39:38 --> 00:39:38 mad at his
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40 >> But But Tony D spent a lot of his time
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41 in NXT in a
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43 >> In a faction. I hated that group. I
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45 hated that family, right? The What was
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46 it called? It was the um
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47 >> The The Family.
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48 >> I thought it was The Family.
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51 >> Yeah, but um but no, until Coach, you
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54 know like Tony D'Angelo is
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57 >> Now, Tony D can go. To Tony D can He can
00:39:57 --> 00:40:00 He can He can talk. He has the look. He
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02 can He can He He can do whatever kind of
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04 match you want. He can brawl. He can get
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06 get down on the mat. Tony D's a total
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08 package. He He's That That guy can go.
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10 And I think what what happens with a guy
00:40:10 --> 00:40:13 like Tony D is everybody can't be on the
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15 main roster. I feel like with him, you
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17 can let him just kind of like hang out
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19 and and then again, he had a kind of a
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21 And we talk about this all the time like
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23 off the show where it's like he went He
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25 kind of went away for a little bit. Had
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26 to kind of get away from the whole like
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29 mafia don stuff or whatever like that.
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31 He He He He's kind of like rebuilding
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33 his character. So, then So, then you you
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35 you let him do this and stuff like that.
00:40:35 --> 00:40:36 And like I'm Like I said, I've always
00:40:36 --> 00:40:39 been a big fan of Tony D. Um so like
00:40:39 --> 00:40:40 yeah, I'm glad that he's doing this and
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41 people are starting to kind of recognize
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43 like he he's a hooper. Oh, yeah.
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45 >> Yeah, cuz like the family, it was good,
00:40:45 --> 00:40:48 but when he left and came back as
00:40:48 --> 00:40:51 this in current in incarnation of Tony
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53 D'Angelo, I'm like, yep.
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55 I I like it. He could go. I totally
00:40:55 --> 00:40:56 agree with you. So,
00:40:56 --> 00:40:58 >> the fact the fact the the fact that and
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01 and and I only know I only know who that
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03 is cuz I've heard him on busted open
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05 multiple times and they've put him over.
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07 Um but the fact that you said he can do
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10 all the things, then he can't be in 9 4
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12 6 because
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13 they don't need somebody Yeah yeah, they
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15 don't need some That's that's that's the
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17 rock in the nation. You don't need that
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18 right now cuz you're trying to build
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20 that group. So yeah yeah yeah.
00:41:20 --> 00:41:21 >> This is the same [clears throat] thing
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23 why why why Priest wouldn't work in 9 4
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25 6 cuz it's like he he's an established
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28 guy and it it would always be it would
00:41:28 --> 00:41:29 always be underlined when is Priest
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30 going to make his move to take this
00:41:30 --> 00:41:33 thing over. So right now if this is if
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35 this is Royce Keys's group, if this is
00:41:35 --> 00:41:37 Royce Keys pulling people from from
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38 catering and stuff like that, you can't
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41 have somebody in the group that could
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42 challenge that authority, at least not
00:41:42 --> 00:41:45 yet. I mean they have they have a And
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46 I've I've laughed and I've joked with
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48 Corey about the same like, you know,
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50 ain't nobody safe until Survivor Series.
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52 But
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53 um
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56 if if they do this thing right with 9 4
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59 6, they they can
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01 keep this thing going. And and and 9 4 6
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03 can be a fashion, can be a thing, you
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05 know, just down the line and not just
00:42:05 --> 00:42:07 for right now because they need
00:42:07 --> 00:42:10 something for down the line and not just
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12 for the moment, you know. So like I I
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13 like the what the way they're going with
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16 this 9 4 6, you know, fashion. So but
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18 we'll see.
00:42:18 --> 00:42:21 >> Yeah, I I I do too. And
00:42:21 --> 00:42:24 um I I Yeah, the it's just
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25 We we went through it. We we talked
00:42:25 --> 00:42:28 about it like honestly
00:42:28 --> 00:42:29 NXT
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31 is the star is bright. A lot of talent
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34 is coming from there and like I said, 13
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36 people like the 19 people in in 12
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37 months.
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39 Um it's something to be proud of and
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41 there's a lot more on the way. Like Tony
00:42:41 --> 00:42:42 D'Angelo can't even get in where he fits
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44 in because there's just so much talent
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46 coming through. So [clears throat] um I
00:42:46 --> 00:42:48 one thing I I definitely want to get to
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50 cuz I know Corey is going to talk about
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52 it.
00:42:52 --> 00:42:52 >> Thank
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53 >> God.
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55 >> Where where you at, Oba?
00:42:55 --> 00:42:56 What happened? Are you doing promotional
00:42:56 --> 00:43:00 stuff? Are you working hard? Are you
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01 What's going on? Talk to me.
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03 >> Look look look, man. And like I said,
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05 the video's coming. I'm probably just
00:43:05 --> 00:43:07 going to regurgitate everything I say in
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09 this video in the video.
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10 Uh
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11 I said this and I've said this for the
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13 past year
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15 and everybody told me I was crazy.
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17 You've booked him into a corner because
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19 you made him so dominant.
00:43:19 --> 00:43:22 You ran him through every option that
00:43:22 --> 00:43:25 you have right now because 946 is busy.
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27 The Bloodline's busy.
00:43:27 --> 00:43:29 You ran him through the whole vision in
00:43:29 --> 00:43:30 two weeks.
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32 There's nothing for He's supposed to be
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34 the next face of the company. There's
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35 literally nothing for him to do right
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36 now.
00:43:36 --> 00:43:39 So you have to take him off TV.
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41 Why is your young up and coming
00:43:41 --> 00:43:44 trying to be established future face of
00:43:44 --> 00:43:46 the company who you are building to beat
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49 Roman Reigns for his title
00:43:49 --> 00:43:53 not on TV? He's not hurt.
00:43:53 --> 00:43:54 You just ain't doing nothing with him.
00:43:54 --> 00:43:57 And this is why I've said religiously
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59 what is Creative doing? Seriously, you
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01 can make all the faces you want.
00:44:01 --> 00:44:02 What's he going to do if you put him on
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04 Raw? You can't touch the Bloodline. They
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06 busy. You can't touch 946. They busy.
00:44:06 --> 00:44:08 You beat the hell out of the vision
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10 every week for a month.
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12 Ain't put none of them over. You beat
00:44:12 --> 00:44:15 them all every time you face them. Hell,
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16 sometimes you beat all three of them at
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18 once. Like So what are you going to do
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20 with him? So you had to take this dude
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23 off TV because you've literally put him
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24 in a corner. And this is what I was just
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26 talking about.
00:44:26 --> 00:44:27 You had him in NXT. He might have been
00:44:27 --> 00:44:29 dominant, but at least he was putting
00:44:29 --> 00:44:30 people over. Now you've built him up to
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32 be Bill Goldberg.
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34 That's not sustainable. So when he wins
00:44:34 --> 00:44:37 the title, then what? Because you didn't
00:44:37 --> 00:44:39 put him over anybody that looks like a
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41 threat already.
00:44:41 --> 00:44:44 So what we doing?
00:44:44 --> 00:44:48 >> I I mean, that's a great question. Um
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50 Coach, what's going on with Oba Femi
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51 right now?
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53 >> I mean, what's going on with Oba Femi is
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55 like
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57 Here it's a situation where they know
00:44:57 --> 00:44:58 what they have in Obe Femi.
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00 And I do agree that they've kind of like
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02 booked them into a corner. So it's like
00:45:02 --> 00:45:04 okay, we know we have what we have in
00:45:04 --> 00:45:06 Obe Femi. So we can just kind of
00:45:06 --> 00:45:08 we can we can let them like when you
00:45:08 --> 00:45:10 look back at it from him coming up, he
00:45:10 --> 00:45:13 is he had been a guy who was still kind
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15 of like new to the things and stuff like
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16 that. So they were spending his top
00:45:16 --> 00:45:19 pretty hard. So I think really honestly
00:45:19 --> 00:45:22 this just might be just like okay Obe,
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24 until we figure something out with you,
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25 like take a take a powder. You know what
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27 I'm saying? Take a take a lap. You know
00:45:27 --> 00:45:28 what I'm saying? Just you know because
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30 like [laughter]
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31 you know it's just I don't think it's
00:45:31 --> 00:45:34 like oh that now I do agree slightly
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35 with like they booked them into a corner
00:45:35 --> 00:45:37 with this thing, but it's like
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38 you you get through this and then it's
00:45:38 --> 00:45:41 like after Wrestle Palooza or even after
00:45:41 --> 00:45:43 Survivor Series, you can bring them back
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45 and like whatever
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46 everybody's tied up with, he can he can
00:45:46 --> 00:45:49 always come back to it. You know and he
00:45:49 --> 00:45:51 can be leading up to whatever's going on
00:45:51 --> 00:45:52 in Perth or whatever like that. So I
00:45:52 --> 00:45:55 don't think it's like
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56 they they they're putting them on a
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58 shelf. I just think it's like all right,
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00 hold on a little bit. You know what I'm
00:46:00 --> 00:46:01 saying? We know we gotten him he went
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03 through the ringer. He he was working
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05 all summer. And he is still he is still
00:46:05 --> 00:46:08 young in the business to where it's like
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09 you know this isn't like the old Vince
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11 days where it's like you work 350 days a
00:46:11 --> 00:46:12 year.
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14 You know it's like he's probably getting
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16 some time off to kind of like recharge
00:46:16 --> 00:46:19 and relax. And and to be
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21 honest, something that I saw like with
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24 the whole like Bronson Reed thing, he
00:46:24 --> 00:46:27 might be in timeout a little bit.
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28 >> I'm not going to say he's in timeout,
00:46:28 --> 00:46:31 but that was my biggest thing when
00:46:31 --> 00:46:35 when this question was posed.
00:46:35 --> 00:46:38 It it almost feels as though he's damned
00:46:38 --> 00:46:41 if he does, damned if he doesn't because
00:46:41 --> 00:46:43 essentially we've been sitting here for
00:46:43 --> 00:46:46 the better part of a summer talking
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48 about how he's been booked like Bill
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50 Goldberg and how he's working and doing
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51 all the things and running through this
00:46:51 --> 00:46:52 person and that person and the other
00:46:52 --> 00:46:55 person. He gets some time off.
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57 Oh now where you at man? What you doing?
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59 Like,
00:46:59 --> 00:47:00 you can't have your cake and eat it,
00:47:00 --> 00:47:01 too.
00:47:01 --> 00:47:04 Like, you're right. A lot of things that
00:47:04 --> 00:47:07 he's, you know, could be tied up in or
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09 tied up in other places. So, yeah, to to
00:47:09 --> 00:47:10 Steve's point,
00:47:10 --> 00:47:11 take a break. Take a minute. You know
00:47:11 --> 00:47:14 what I'm saying? Like, you're good.
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16 You're good. Take a minute, take a beat.
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18 You know what I'm saying? Go go go get
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19 some Jell-O off or whatever you need to
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21 do. Take a rest.
00:47:21 --> 00:47:22 >> Yeah. Yeah, because because here's the
00:47:22 --> 00:47:24 thing here's the thing Come back in in
00:47:24 --> 00:47:25 go time.
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27 >> when Obe comes back, it's not going to
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29 be crickets. When Obe comes back, it's
00:47:29 --> 00:47:32 going to be Obe.
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33 Obe. [clears throat]
00:47:33 --> 00:47:34 When he comes back, it's going to be
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36 like if he never left cuz Obe
00:47:36 --> 00:47:37 established [laughter] himself already.
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39 >> It almost feels like it almost feels
00:47:39 --> 00:47:43 like he has the Roman Reigns
00:47:43 --> 00:47:44 thing down now.
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46 Roman Reigns shows up for a couple
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48 weeks, does his thing, this that and the
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50 third, he takes takes away, you know,
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52 for 6 weeks or whatever, comes back. Oh
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54 my goodness, it's like I mean, again,
00:47:54 --> 00:47:56 I'm doing that as an example, but this
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58 is what this is essentially what I feel
00:47:58 --> 00:48:01 is going on with Obe Femi right now.
00:48:01 --> 00:48:03 >> But but okay, but but when he when he
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04 comes back, it's going to be like if he
00:48:04 --> 00:48:05 never left.
00:48:05 --> 00:48:06 >> But y'all ain't making my point but
00:48:06 --> 00:48:07 y'all ain't making my point. Like, first
00:48:07 --> 00:48:10 of all, I I understand I understand what
00:48:10 --> 00:48:11 you're saying about Roman, but the
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13 difference is Roman didn't do that in
00:48:13 --> 00:48:15 the beginning. Roman had to work.
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17 Roman didn't get to take off.
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19 Seth Seth getting That's what I'm
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21 saying. Seth didn't get to This dude is
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23 Y'all both said he's still new in the
00:48:23 --> 00:48:24 business.
00:48:24 --> 00:48:27 >> He's not all He's not getting time off
00:48:27 --> 00:48:29 because he needs time off. He's getting
00:48:29 --> 00:48:32 time off because they booked him to a
00:48:32 --> 00:48:35 point where they have nothing for him.
00:48:35 --> 00:48:37 That's a problem.
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39 >> It's a throw. IT'S A THROW.
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40 >> YOU WANT YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I KNOW
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42 IT'S a problem? Because when he first
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43 got into it with the Vision, every last
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45 one of us said, except for Coach cuz he
00:48:45 --> 00:48:47 wasn't here, every last one of them
00:48:47 --> 00:48:48 said, we think he's going to get a
00:48:48 --> 00:48:51 three-match arc with Bronson.
00:48:51 --> 00:48:54 They ended it in one night.
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56 Because they want him to look
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58 >> they can't come back to it when he
00:48:58 --> 00:49:01 returns after after Bron breaks himself
00:49:01 --> 00:49:03 away from the division this weekend?
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04 >> Serious. For real, bro.
00:49:04 --> 00:49:07 He got he beat them three on one. They
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09 were all in the ring. He beat all three
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11 of their asses.
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13 How you go go back to that?
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15 >> Okay.
00:49:15 --> 00:49:16 Okay.
00:49:16 --> 00:49:19 >> No, I mean he's not wrong. Like you what
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21 do you what
00:49:21 --> 00:49:22 what where do you go from there when you
00:49:22 --> 00:49:25 have him beat Braun in the match of the
00:49:25 --> 00:49:29 future of the WWE. He he hand he handles
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31 them. Then you have him like what really
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33 started to annoy me like I was
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35 [clears throat] willing to accept he
00:49:35 --> 00:49:36 would get the pin. I didn't want him to
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38 get the pin against Braun Breakker, but
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40 I was willing to accept it. But when
00:49:40 --> 00:49:44 when you have a PLE or whatever
00:49:44 --> 00:49:46 and he takes two knocks to the face and
00:49:46 --> 00:49:49 a tsunami, a finisher and like nothing
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51 happened,
00:49:51 --> 00:49:54 it's a problem. I I can I can see where
00:49:54 --> 00:49:55 coaches are coming from.
00:49:55 --> 00:49:56 >> though. This is [laughter] not Oba's
00:49:56 --> 00:49:56 fault though.
00:49:56 --> 00:49:58 >> No, it's not Oba's fault.
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00 >> I'M NOT I'M NOT YEAH, I'M
00:50:00 --> 00:50:02 THAT DON'T GET ME WRONG. I AM not Oba's
00:50:02 --> 00:50:03 done nothing wrong.
00:50:03 --> 00:50:04 >> Mhm.
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05 >> creative.
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07 >> It's it's how they booked them and like
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09 I don't know if they booked them into a
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11 corner, but I tend to agree with coach
00:50:11 --> 00:50:12 like
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14 listen, when you're working a match and
00:50:14 --> 00:50:17 you are out of character and shoving
00:50:17 --> 00:50:19 some guy's foot off of you,
00:50:19 --> 00:50:21 there there's a type of receipt that's
00:50:21 --> 00:50:23 coming for that. You know what I mean?
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24 Like that's
00:50:24 --> 00:50:25 >> [laughter]
00:50:25 --> 00:50:26 >> They didn't They didn't want to punish
00:50:26 --> 00:50:29 them to this to They want to punish them
00:50:29 --> 00:50:32 and written them off TV for for that.
00:50:32 --> 00:50:33 >> know if they punished them.
00:50:33 --> 00:50:35 >> You got You got You got to remember the
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37 guy who is running creative was part of
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39 the Garden Party.
00:50:39 --> 00:50:39 Okay?
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41 >> That's right.
00:50:41 --> 00:50:44 >> I will say this though. I know I know I
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45 know I know what you're saying, but I
00:50:45 --> 00:50:47 know how Villain feels about this, but
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50 I'm going to ask anyway.
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52 Is there anything to the reports that
00:50:52 --> 00:50:53 there's certain people that just don't
00:50:53 --> 00:50:54 want to work with him because they don't
00:50:54 --> 00:50:56 want to get buried?
00:50:56 --> 00:50:58 >> I don't know if that's true.
00:50:58 --> 00:50:59 >> This is not new report. That's what I'm
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01 saying, but do y'all think that could be
00:51:01 --> 00:51:04 part of it?
00:51:04 --> 00:51:05 >> Let me
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06 >> It could be It could be part of it and
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08 then again it goes back to the little
00:51:08 --> 00:51:10 foot push or whatever like that because
00:51:10 --> 00:51:12 like people like people like man like
00:51:12 --> 00:51:14 like again he he is still young in this
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16 like I said he needs to get it and it's
00:51:16 --> 00:51:17 just like you know [clears throat] he he
00:51:17 --> 00:51:19 going have to eat that sandwich until he
00:51:19 --> 00:51:20 learned the taste of it maybe.
00:51:20 --> 00:51:22 >> wasn't
00:51:22 --> 00:51:25 That foot thing was not on Oba though.
00:51:25 --> 00:51:29 My man Bronson Reed went off script.
00:51:29 --> 00:51:29 >> [clears throat]
00:51:29 --> 00:51:30 >> You can But you can't
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32 >> You can You can always go off script.
00:51:32 --> 00:51:34 You got to stay in character.
00:51:34 --> 00:51:34 >> You got to stay in character.
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36 >> that was Oba. That's on Oba.
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38 >> the point. Like the the
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39 >> So let me get this straight. Let me get
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42 this straight. YOU CAN YOU CAN MESS UP.
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44 YOU CAN MESS UP. AND OKAY. OKAY.
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46 >> He didn't He didn't He didn't mess up.
00:51:46 --> 00:51:48 >> Seriously, there is an unwritten
00:51:48 --> 00:51:49 >> Like okay go Go ahead. Okay cuz I'm
00:51:49 --> 00:51:50 going to cuz what I want to say is
00:51:50 --> 00:51:52 before Barry explains it it's like I
00:51:52 --> 00:51:54 want you to listen seriously cuz like
00:51:54 --> 00:51:57 there's a difference between messing up
00:51:57 --> 00:52:00 and going off script. You have to always
00:52:00 --> 00:52:01 stay in character.
00:52:01 --> 00:52:03 >> I mean I get that point. I get that
00:52:03 --> 00:52:04 point.
00:52:04 --> 00:52:06 >> Boxing is one thing. Breaking Breaking
00:52:06 --> 00:52:08 kayfabe cuz kayfabe is dead as we all
00:52:08 --> 00:52:10 know, that's when you get you get in
00:52:10 --> 00:52:11 trouble.
00:52:11 --> 00:52:13 >> Yeah, that like when
00:52:13 --> 00:52:17 like when
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19 Okay. Like [clears throat]
00:52:19 --> 00:52:22 when when Stone Stone Cold punches you
00:52:22 --> 00:52:24 and you don't sell and Triple H has done
00:52:24 --> 00:52:27 this too like Triple H is punching a guy
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29 and you're not selling for him, he lays
00:52:29 --> 00:52:31 one in thick. He lays one in hard to
00:52:31 --> 00:52:34 like hey, you better sell.
00:52:34 --> 00:52:34 >> Mhm.
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36 >> That's your receipt.
00:52:36 --> 00:52:37 When you you Cuz you're coming out of
00:52:37 --> 00:52:39 character when you're not selling the
00:52:39 --> 00:52:41 punch. You're making Triple H as the
00:52:41 --> 00:52:43 punch to look like an idiot. You know
00:52:43 --> 00:52:47 what I'm saying? So when
00:52:47 --> 00:52:50 they do that, they did it on purpose.
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52 Bronson Reed stepped out of character
00:52:52 --> 00:52:56 first possibly but did it to test him.
00:52:56 --> 00:52:57 And when he
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00 Listen, he I I don't know it for a fact
00:53:00 --> 00:53:02 but I can tell you he tweaked them on
00:53:02 --> 00:53:05 purpose to see if he would come out of
00:53:05 --> 00:53:07 Because like it's kind of like when
00:53:07 --> 00:53:09 Shawn Michaels raised the Rock, you
00:53:09 --> 00:53:12 can't do the moon salt, that's my moon,
00:53:12 --> 00:53:14 just to just to give him a hard time
00:53:14 --> 00:53:17 because they saw Hang on. Because they
00:53:17 --> 00:53:20 saw Shawn and Hunter saw the Rock rising
00:53:20 --> 00:53:22 faster than they wanted to and they were
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24 jealous and they wanted to put him in
00:53:24 --> 00:53:26 his place. I can guarantee you that
00:53:26 --> 00:53:28 [snorts] Braun Strowman and and Braun
00:53:28 --> 00:53:31 Breaker in character like out of
00:53:31 --> 00:53:33 character can't stand him.
00:53:33 --> 00:53:35 Because it's like that's my spot and
00:53:35 --> 00:53:37 he's taken it. So I'm going to tweak him
00:53:37 --> 00:53:40 a little bit, put my foot on him to see
00:53:40 --> 00:53:41 what he's going to do. And what did he
00:53:41 --> 00:53:44 do? Came out of character. And then
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46 See, this is why I can't WORK WITH HIM.
00:53:46 --> 00:53:47 THIS IS WHY I CAN'T WORK
00:53:47 --> 00:53:49 >> TO CORY'S POINT,
00:53:49 --> 00:53:51 IF THEY ARE tweaking him for him to come
00:53:51 --> 00:53:53 out of character, you can't necessarily
00:53:53 --> 00:53:55 say to Cory's point or to Cory's
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57 question, well, I don't want to work
00:53:57 --> 00:53:59 with them because I'm going to get
00:53:59 --> 00:53:59 buried, I'm going to get this that and
00:53:59 --> 00:54:02 the third. You act with the product and
00:54:02 --> 00:54:03 then get upset with the result. That's
00:54:03 --> 00:54:04 like you tweaking a recipe and then
00:54:04 --> 00:54:06 getting upset that the cake didn't rise.
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08 >> But you know you know how this you know
00:54:08 --> 00:54:09 how this business works. They all do
00:54:09 --> 00:54:10 that.
00:54:10 --> 00:54:12 >> But but Cory, how bad was it that he put
00:54:12 --> 00:54:13 that he put a foot on him?
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15 >> It wasn't cuz it makes the story better
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17 because you didn't surprise
00:54:17 --> 00:54:18 It makes THE STORY BETTER.
00:54:18 --> 00:54:21 >> BUT THE THING IS BROCK TOLD HIM THAT WAS
00:54:21 --> 00:54:22 IN THE THAT WAS IN THE SCRIPT.
00:54:22 --> 00:54:24 >> BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
00:54:24 --> 00:54:25 but but but but I understand that but
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27 what I'm saying is Braun putting a foot
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30 on him is a callback to that so it makes
00:54:30 --> 00:54:32 the story better.
00:54:32 --> 00:54:33 You got to stay in character.
00:54:33 --> 00:54:35 >> You got to stay in character. You got to
00:54:35 --> 00:54:35 stay in character.
00:54:35 --> 00:54:37 >> Again, I get it. I'm I'm saying you have
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39 to stay in character, but you can't poke
00:54:39 --> 00:54:41 a bear, poke a bear, poke a bear then
00:54:41 --> 00:54:45 get upset that you got BIT
00:54:45 --> 00:54:46 >> THAT'S WHAT CATERING IS FOR.
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48 >> Hold on, hold on, coach. Hold on, coach.
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49 Hold on, coach. Hold on, coach real
00:54:49 --> 00:54:52 quick. That that that that's the history
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53 of this business and I'm going to take
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55 you to my favorite wrestling subject
00:54:55 --> 00:54:56 that we're going to eventually do a show
00:54:56 --> 00:54:58 on, the Montreal Screwjob.
00:54:58 --> 00:54:59 >> Mhm.
00:54:59 --> 00:55:02 >> Shawn poked and poked and poked at Bret
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04 until Bret beat his ass backstage and
00:55:04 --> 00:55:05 ripped his hair out of his head and then
00:55:05 --> 00:55:08 he ran and said unsafe work environment,
00:55:08 --> 00:55:09 I got to go.
00:55:09 --> 00:55:12 They've always done this.
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13 That's a part of the culture of this
00:55:13 --> 00:55:16 business. So to say they can't f with
00:55:16 --> 00:55:18 the bear and poke the bear and then run
00:55:18 --> 00:55:20 the management and say I can't work with
00:55:20 --> 00:55:22 him, that's exactly what they can do and
00:55:22 --> 00:55:23 it's what they did do cuz now it's
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25 saying, all right, you saw him break
00:55:25 --> 00:55:26 character over something this simple to
00:55:26 --> 00:55:28 make the story better. I don't want to
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29 work with him.
00:55:29 --> 00:55:30 And now look at you.
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32 >> And now look at him and then to to just
00:55:32 --> 00:55:34 kind of like expand [clears throat] on
00:55:34 --> 00:55:35 Corey's point is like, yeah, it's like
00:55:35 --> 00:55:38 because you know what Oba, I get it. You
00:55:38 --> 00:55:40 could have let Braun Strowman have his
00:55:40 --> 00:55:43 foot on you until they was like, and
00:55:43 --> 00:55:46 cut, lights go down.
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48 And then and then what you do, you whoop
00:55:48 --> 00:55:51 his ass back in catering. Or you you you
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53 guys you guys start the fight in Gorilla
00:55:53 --> 00:55:54 and it ends up in catering or whatever
00:55:54 --> 00:55:56 like that. If you if you felt that way
00:55:56 --> 00:55:58 about it. But you you can't break
00:55:58 --> 00:56:00 character because
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02 yeah, that that 10 seconds like can like
00:56:02 --> 00:56:05 you can't you know, as much as as much
00:56:05 --> 00:56:06 as CM Punk is on life support and dead
00:56:06 --> 00:56:08 in my eyes. It's like, yeah,
00:56:08 --> 00:56:11 3 2 1 and okay, cut fellas. And then
00:56:11 --> 00:56:12 when you get to the back, then whatever
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14 problem you got with them for doing
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15 that, then you address it.
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17 >> Because the difference is
00:56:17 --> 00:56:19 and and there might not be a comparison,
00:56:19 --> 00:56:22 but look at it like this. I know a lot
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24 of guys that don't like working with CM
00:56:24 --> 00:56:26 Punk. And one of them is working with
00:56:26 --> 00:56:28 them next week. But when when the
00:56:28 --> 00:56:30 camera's on, they stay in character.
00:56:30 --> 00:56:32 When it's off, it's like, [ __ ] this guy,
00:56:32 --> 00:56:33 I don't want to talk to him anymore and
00:56:33 --> 00:56:34 that's it.
00:56:34 --> 00:56:37 But on camera, even when Roman and Punk
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38 are going back at it and it's like
00:56:38 --> 00:56:40 you're old, I'm going to send you to
00:56:40 --> 00:56:41 NXT,
00:56:41 --> 00:56:44 you send your [ __ ] ass and
00:56:44 --> 00:56:46 Okay, when it's in on screen, it's in
00:56:46 --> 00:56:49 character. When it's on, that's it. So
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51 it's a little thing of
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53 shoving his hand off of them, but it's a
00:56:53 --> 00:56:56 big thing because everybody sees it.
00:56:56 --> 00:56:58 Everybody saw it.
00:56:58 --> 00:56:59 And it's magnified.
00:56:59 --> 00:57:02 >> I mean, yeah, I I I get that. I
00:57:02 --> 00:57:02 UNDERSTAND IT.
00:57:02 --> 00:57:04 >> IT'S KEVIN on TV. Um
00:57:04 --> 00:57:05 >> Yeah.
00:57:05 --> 00:57:06 >> Hey, look like
00:57:06 --> 00:57:08 >> We saw that We You that coming a mile
00:57:08 --> 00:57:08 away.
00:57:08 --> 00:57:09 >> But you saw
00:57:09 --> 00:57:12 >> you saw Corey what happened when two two
00:57:12 --> 00:57:16 years ago when Charlotte Flair and and
00:57:16 --> 00:57:18 uh Tiffany Stratton went off camera.
00:57:18 --> 00:57:21 Tiffany Stratton violated, but Charlotte
00:57:21 --> 00:57:23 to her credit stayed as much in
00:57:23 --> 00:57:25 character as she possibly could. There
00:57:25 --> 00:57:27 was heat, but then when it was
00:57:27 --> 00:57:28 backstage, they handled it.
00:57:28 --> 00:57:29 >> was on. Yep.
00:57:29 --> 00:57:30 >> Mhm.
00:57:30 --> 00:57:32 >> And that's my thing about the Oba thing.
00:57:32 --> 00:57:35 Like it's something small, but we all
00:57:35 --> 00:57:36 can agree
00:57:36 --> 00:57:38 the biggest
00:57:38 --> 00:57:40 wrestling radio show is busted open.
00:57:40 --> 00:57:42 Hell, they it's WWE Network now.
00:57:42 --> 00:57:43 >> Mhm.
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45 >> The first thing they let off with the
00:57:45 --> 00:57:47 next day was him pushing his leg off.
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49 That's literally the first thing they
00:57:49 --> 00:57:49 talked about.
00:57:49 --> 00:57:50 >> And what did Bully say?
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51 >> wrong.
00:57:51 --> 00:57:52 Bully said you can't do that. You got to
00:57:52 --> 00:57:53 stay in character.
00:57:53 --> 00:57:54 >> it. Can't do it. You got to stay in
00:57:54 --> 00:57:55 character. Yeah.
00:57:55 --> 00:57:56 >> Like you got to stay in character.
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57 >> again, I get the fact that you have to
00:57:57 --> 00:57:59 stay in character. I get that, but you
00:57:59 --> 00:58:00 can't sit there and say you got to stay
00:58:00 --> 00:58:03 in character or you know, again, you got
00:58:03 --> 00:58:04 we'll we'll talk about it at at another
00:58:04 --> 00:58:06 show, the Montreal Screwjob or whatever,
00:58:06 --> 00:58:08 but like you can't poke a bear and then
00:58:08 --> 00:58:09 get upset that the bear bit you. Like
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11 that's that's crazy talk.
00:58:11 --> 00:58:14 >> I feel I feel you, but like
00:58:14 --> 00:58:15 [laughter] that bear
00:58:15 --> 00:58:17 that bear that bear knows to stay in
00:58:17 --> 00:58:31 character on on with
00:58:31 --> 00:59:00 >> [clears throat]
00:59:00 --> 00:59:11 [snorts]
00:59:11 --> 00:59:12 >> It's it's live
00:59:12 --> 00:59:16 stage acting, but having the top spot is
00:59:16 --> 00:59:18 having the top spot. When Stone Cold
00:59:18 --> 00:59:20 used to sign his autograph, Stone Cold
00:59:20 --> 00:59:22 number one, The Rock used to get pissed
00:59:22 --> 00:59:25 like and not in a mean way, but like I
00:59:25 --> 00:59:27 want to be number one. I want to be that
00:59:27 --> 00:59:28 guy.
00:59:28 --> 00:59:30 There's a battle always to be that top
00:59:30 --> 00:59:32 spot. There's a battle to be where Roman
00:59:32 --> 00:59:33 is. You know what I mean?
00:59:33 --> 00:59:36 >> I mean cuz you you you look at unreal.
00:59:36 --> 00:59:37 Look look at everything that happened.
00:59:37 --> 00:59:39 It's like Seth Rollins's injury was
00:59:39 --> 00:59:40 probably the worst thing that happened
00:59:40 --> 00:59:42 to Braun Breaker's career at in this
00:59:42 --> 00:59:44 point because like it was the the table
00:59:44 --> 00:59:46 was set for him. It was all it was all
00:59:46 --> 00:59:47 in front of him.
00:59:47 --> 00:59:48 >> The man got a right but he he got right
00:59:48 --> 00:59:49 sense.
00:59:49 --> 00:59:51 >> Yeah, Seth Rollins gets hurt and it just
00:59:51 --> 00:59:53 turns him into a spiral. So then just
00:59:53 --> 00:59:55 when it seems like he's maybe maybe
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57 things are kind of getting back, you
00:59:57 --> 00:59:59 know, on level ground, here comes this
00:59:59 --> 01:00:00 damn Obe Femi.
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02 You know,
01:00:02 --> 01:00:03 it's just human nature cuz it's like he
01:00:03 --> 01:00:05 was like, hey, I was it was about to be
01:00:05 --> 01:00:07 my spot. It was about to be my time.
01:00:07 --> 01:00:09 Seth gets hurt, so I'm a good soldier. I
01:00:09 --> 01:00:11 do what they everything they tell me to
01:00:11 --> 01:00:13 do and then here comes this Femi guy out
01:00:13 --> 01:00:15 of nowhere. You know,
01:00:15 --> 01:00:16 >> Did you want to know the Coach Coach,
01:00:16 --> 01:00:17 you want to know the thing about this
01:00:17 --> 01:00:19 whole situation that irritates me the
01:00:19 --> 01:00:21 most?
01:00:21 --> 01:00:23 It's literally the guy that runs the
01:00:23 --> 01:00:26 show was in the same position. This
01:00:26 --> 01:00:27 could have been your Rock Triple H for
01:00:27 --> 01:00:31 the next 10 years.
01:00:31 --> 01:00:32 >> It still can be.
01:00:32 --> 01:00:33 >> It still can.
01:00:33 --> 01:00:33 >> It still can be.
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35 >> not over with now like Corey is like the
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37 I I understand like the the instant
01:00:37 --> 01:00:39 gratification. I want the payoff now. I
01:00:39 --> 01:00:41 want the payoff now. It's like ladies
01:00:41 --> 01:00:43 and gentlemen, boys and girls, children
01:00:43 --> 01:00:45 of all ages, I'm going to say this and I
01:00:45 --> 01:00:46 said this since we started this show a
01:00:46 --> 01:00:48 long time ago.
01:00:48 --> 01:00:52 Long term story telling.
01:00:52 --> 01:00:53 >> [laughter]
01:00:53 --> 01:00:57 >> Like you had a long feud that all from
01:00:57 --> 01:00:59 Triple H and Stone and Triple H and The
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01 Rock that always got overshadowed by you
01:01:01 --> 01:01:03 had Mick Foley in there. You had Stone
01:01:03 --> 01:01:05 Cold sprinkled back in there. All this
01:01:05 --> 01:01:05 stuff.
01:01:05 --> 01:01:06 >> Yeah, it would take little detours and
01:01:06 --> 01:01:07 stuff like that.
01:01:07 --> 01:01:08 >> take little detours, but it all they
01:01:08 --> 01:01:10 always found their way back to each
01:01:10 --> 01:01:13 other and those two like they that
01:01:13 --> 01:01:15 storyline with Triple H and The Rock
01:01:15 --> 01:01:18 carried them when Stone Cold was hurt,
01:01:18 --> 01:01:20 Mick retired, and Taker had to take a
01:01:20 --> 01:01:22 little time off. That carried them all
01:01:22 --> 01:01:24 the way back until WrestleMania, and we
01:01:24 --> 01:01:26 still didn't get a WrestleMania main
01:01:26 --> 01:01:28 event with those two. And I feel like we
01:01:28 --> 01:01:29 got robbed.
01:01:29 --> 01:01:31 You know, because we had the fatal four
01:01:31 --> 01:01:32 way.
01:01:32 --> 01:01:33 We got that fatal four way at
01:01:33 --> 01:01:36 WrestleMania 2000, and and even those
01:01:36 --> 01:01:38 two will say it to you. That match was
01:01:38 --> 01:01:40 supposed to be one on one with those two
01:01:40 --> 01:01:42 blowing off at WrestleMania, and we
01:01:42 --> 01:01:44 never got it. We still haven't got it.
01:01:44 --> 01:01:47 I am glad to coach's point, even though
01:01:47 --> 01:01:49 I want more of Over and Braun,
01:01:49 --> 01:01:52 if you OD on it right now, you know what
01:01:52 --> 01:01:55 you get? You get Roman and Brock.
01:01:55 --> 01:01:56 >> You're not wrong.
01:01:56 --> 01:01:58 >> Zayn said, Roman Brock 12.
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00 It was six out of 12.
01:02:00 --> 01:02:02 >> You're not You're not wrong. You're not
01:02:02 --> 01:02:03 wrong, and you right. You You could
01:02:03 --> 01:02:06 still have it. My only push back is
01:02:06 --> 01:02:08 because you said the words long-term
01:02:08 --> 01:02:09 storytelling.
01:02:09 --> 01:02:12 Outside of the Bloodline story, what has
01:02:12 --> 01:02:16 Triple H told long-term stories with?
01:02:16 --> 01:02:18 >> It's not It's not my fault that he had
01:02:18 --> 01:02:20 he has he got one gimmick, and he run
01:02:20 --> 01:02:21 and he just going to keep running the
01:02:21 --> 01:02:22 same play. [laughter] That ain't my
01:02:22 --> 01:02:23 fault.
01:02:23 --> 01:02:25 >> He can run the same play.
01:02:25 --> 01:02:26 >> But that's what I'm saying. We can't We
01:02:26 --> 01:02:29 can't We can't assume he's good at
01:02:29 --> 01:02:31 long-term story. He should be. He's a
01:02:31 --> 01:02:32 student of this game. He's been around
01:02:32 --> 01:02:35 it long enough. He He definitely He know
01:02:35 --> 01:02:36 It's not like he don't know what he's
01:02:36 --> 01:02:37 doing.
01:02:37 --> 01:02:38 >> So I just
01:02:38 --> 01:02:40 >> he he he he does the long-term
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42 storytelling. He does a great job with
01:02:42 --> 01:02:44 that with some of the tools he gets, and
01:02:44 --> 01:02:45 then I think
01:02:45 --> 01:02:46 And
01:02:46 --> 01:02:48 you're going to I know what you're going
01:02:48 --> 01:02:49 to say, Corey. You You just want to
01:02:49 --> 01:02:52 defend them, but I really feel like he
01:02:52 --> 01:02:54 gets pressured into doing some stuff
01:02:54 --> 01:02:56 because of ESPN,
01:02:56 --> 01:02:57 because of Netflix.
01:02:57 --> 01:02:59 >> I don't disagree with you, but I got
01:02:59 --> 01:03:00 >> Crown Jewel. You know what I mean?
01:03:00 --> 01:03:02 >> to answer But you got But you got to
01:03:02 --> 01:03:04 answer I don't disagree with you because
01:03:04 --> 01:03:06 I do think Triple H can do it, but you
01:03:06 --> 01:03:08 got to answer the question that I asked.
01:03:08 --> 01:03:09 Outside of the Bloodline, which he
01:03:09 --> 01:03:11 inherited,
01:03:11 --> 01:03:13 outside of the Bloodline, what long-term
01:03:13 --> 01:03:16 long-term story has he told?
01:03:16 --> 01:03:19 >> Not many. And I feel like I he you you
01:03:19 --> 01:03:22 had some good ones with Punk and Drew
01:03:22 --> 01:03:24 McIntyre. I mean that was a good one.
01:03:24 --> 01:03:26 >> Punk and McIntyre
01:03:26 --> 01:03:28 Kevin Owens
01:03:28 --> 01:03:30 >> You had
01:03:30 --> 01:03:32 you had Kevin Owens you had Kevin Owens
01:03:32 --> 01:03:35 and Cody before Kevin got hurt.
01:03:35 --> 01:03:36 >> I know okay but
01:03:36 --> 01:03:39 are we so when we say long term how long
01:03:39 --> 01:03:41 are we talking like the Punk and Drew
01:03:41 --> 01:03:42 I'm going give you but I don't think
01:03:42 --> 01:03:44 that was Triple H I think that was
01:03:44 --> 01:03:45 circumstance.
01:03:45 --> 01:03:47 Punk was hurt. You had to do it had to
01:03:47 --> 01:03:49 be a long term story cuz Punk Punk
01:03:49 --> 01:03:50 couldn't go.
01:03:50 --> 01:03:50 >> It's okay.
01:03:50 --> 01:03:52 >> But when we say long term story how long
01:03:52 --> 01:03:53 we talking cuz
01:03:53 --> 01:03:57 KO and Cody wasn't that long.
01:03:57 --> 01:04:00 >> It was though because it started after
01:04:00 --> 01:04:02 WrestleMania [clears throat]
01:04:02 --> 01:04:04 and then it came right back around to
01:04:04 --> 01:04:05 Royal Rumble.
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06 >> Okay.
01:04:06 --> 01:04:08 >> Yeah so you you could you could give me
01:04:08 --> 01:04:10 a you're right you're right you're
01:04:10 --> 01:04:12 right.
01:04:12 --> 01:04:13 >> No no I'm just saying like for me when
01:04:13 --> 01:04:16 when I say long term it's not like a
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18 couple of Raws and SmackDown and then
01:04:18 --> 01:04:20 like the blow off is at the the the the
01:04:20 --> 01:04:22 next PLE. You know what I'm saying? If
01:04:22 --> 01:04:23 if if something can go through two or
01:04:23 --> 01:04:25 three PLEs and they still feuding that's
01:04:25 --> 01:04:28 long term storytelling to me.
01:04:28 --> 01:04:29 So that's just that's just my definition
01:04:29 --> 01:04:31 of long term storytelling not not hey we
01:04:31 --> 01:04:33 went back and forth on a couple Raw
01:04:33 --> 01:04:34 Smackdowns and then we have this match
01:04:34 --> 01:04:37 at WrestleMania and then that's it. No
01:04:37 --> 01:04:39 if something goes through a couple of
01:04:39 --> 01:04:42 PLEs you know then to me that's what
01:04:42 --> 01:04:43 what I'm talking about with long term
01:04:43 --> 01:04:44 storytelling.
01:04:44 --> 01:04:47 >> And and you got that with with with KO
01:04:47 --> 01:04:50 because it started after WrestleMania.
01:04:50 --> 01:04:52 He didn't he KO wanted to be the good
01:04:52 --> 01:04:53 guy
01:04:53 --> 01:04:55 and then he didn't and then it came back
01:04:55 --> 01:04:57 around and he turned to heel and that
01:04:57 --> 01:04:58 worked out and that was a beautiful
01:04:58 --> 01:05:01 storyline that involves Sami Zayn so you
01:05:01 --> 01:05:03 get that and I feel like the blow off
01:05:03 --> 01:05:05 that you're about to get at Crown Jewel
01:05:05 --> 01:05:07 with Randy and Cody could be long term.
01:05:07 --> 01:05:09 The story that they're telling now they
01:05:09 --> 01:05:11 should have told at WrestleMania.
01:05:11 --> 01:05:11 >> Yeah yeah.
01:05:11 --> 01:05:13 >> I'm cool with it I'm cool with it.
01:05:13 --> 01:05:14 >> I'm going to I'm going to
01:05:14 --> 01:05:15 >> I love it I love what they're doing.
01:05:15 --> 01:05:18 Randy Orton that promo he had
01:05:18 --> 01:05:19 on
01:05:19 --> 01:05:21 >> I'm going to I'm going to
01:05:21 --> 01:05:22 I'm going to say something. I'm going to
01:05:22 --> 01:05:24 say something to poke the bear.
01:05:24 --> 01:05:25 And
01:05:25 --> 01:05:27 and then I'm and then I'm going to going
01:05:27 --> 01:05:29 to hide my hand.
01:05:29 --> 01:05:30 Everybody that faces Cody is the good
01:05:30 --> 01:05:33 guy cuz Cody's a Cody's Cody's a bad
01:05:33 --> 01:05:34 guy.
01:05:34 --> 01:05:36 >> So yeah, going into the Crown Jewel
01:05:36 --> 01:05:38 going into the Crown Jewel, you know, we
01:05:38 --> 01:05:41 got Roman Reigns versus Sami Zayn. See,
01:05:41 --> 01:05:42 I'm not going to let you do it. I'm not
01:05:42 --> 01:05:43 going to let you do it.
01:05:43 --> 01:05:43 >> [laughter]
01:05:43 --> 01:05:45 >> I'm not giving into it today.
01:05:45 --> 01:05:46 >> I'm not giving into hate. I'm not giving
01:05:46 --> 01:05:48 into hate. I'm giving into
01:05:48 --> 01:05:50 your hatred. Like I see the Star Wars
01:05:50 --> 01:05:51 shirt from
01:05:51 --> 01:05:53 from Sirius I want to say let the hate
01:05:53 --> 01:05:54 flow through you.
01:05:54 --> 01:05:56 >> Flow through you.
01:05:56 --> 01:05:58 >> [laughter]
01:05:58 --> 01:06:01 >> So Sami Zayn and Roman
01:06:01 --> 01:06:03 this match
01:06:03 --> 01:06:05 finally has a little buzz to it. I think
01:06:05 --> 01:06:07 the week before we had some buzz but you
01:06:07 --> 01:06:09 know, in their first standoff, but last
01:06:09 --> 01:06:11 this past Monday
01:06:11 --> 01:06:13 I feel like
01:06:13 --> 01:06:15 it was a pretty even blowoff with these
01:06:15 --> 01:06:16 two.
01:06:16 --> 01:06:19 Everybody [snorts] wants to say Roman
01:06:19 --> 01:06:21 you know, had to use you know, language
01:06:21 --> 01:06:24 to get the upper hand, but I think the
01:06:24 --> 01:06:26 bars he was spitting before that about
01:06:26 --> 01:06:28 working with Johnny Knox
01:06:28 --> 01:06:30 was a dig at him like when I found you,
01:06:30 --> 01:06:32 you weren't doing anything and I brought
01:06:32 --> 01:06:35 you up and then now you want to do what
01:06:35 --> 01:06:37 I'm saying basically everybody else has
01:06:37 --> 01:06:38 been doing
01:06:38 --> 01:06:39 bitching and moaning.
01:06:39 --> 01:06:40 So
01:06:40 --> 01:06:42 they want to focus on the hoe
01:06:42 --> 01:06:44 but not the context behind it.
01:06:44 --> 01:06:48 But you can't deny that Sami Zayn
01:06:48 --> 01:06:50 when he said Johnny Knoxville, he came
01:06:50 --> 01:06:52 right back and got back on him.
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54 This is two guys
01:06:54 --> 01:06:56 that are just masters at their craft
01:06:56 --> 01:06:58 right now. Sami Zayn
01:06:58 --> 01:07:00 after Monday
01:07:00 --> 01:07:03 has completely won me over. I still
01:07:03 --> 01:07:06 don't care because he's a heel
01:07:06 --> 01:07:07 but I care because this guy is doing
01:07:07 --> 01:07:11 some absolutely great work and I cannot
01:07:11 --> 01:07:13 deny the fact that he went toe to toe
01:07:13 --> 01:07:14 with the guy that has destroyed
01:07:14 --> 01:07:16 everybody on the mic this year and he
01:07:16 --> 01:07:19 stood toe to toe with them in the ring
01:07:19 --> 01:07:20 in the mic work and I can't wait for
01:07:20 --> 01:07:24 this match. I want to get
01:07:24 --> 01:07:25 I want to get you guys opinion. Whoever
01:07:25 --> 01:07:27 wants to go first, I don't even care. Go
01:07:27 --> 01:07:27 for it.
01:07:27 --> 01:07:29 >> want to What you want What you want to
01:07:29 --> 01:07:31 >> you you been Corey, you been dying to
01:07:31 --> 01:07:32 talk about Roman and Sami. Go for it.
01:07:32 --> 01:07:33 >> Yeah, yeah. What you what you want the
01:07:33 --> 01:07:36 opinion on? The match or the promo? All
01:07:36 --> 01:07:36 right.
01:07:36 --> 01:07:38 >> We can go into both. It doesn't even
01:07:38 --> 01:07:38 matter.
01:07:38 --> 01:07:40 >> right. All right. The pro The promo The
01:07:40 --> 01:07:42 real quick, the promo
01:07:42 --> 01:07:43 I've I've I'm tired of hearing everybody
01:07:43 --> 01:07:45 say, oh, well, all Roman did was call
01:07:45 --> 01:07:46 him a hoe and that was it. No, it
01:07:46 --> 01:07:49 wasn't. He told the truth. Sami was a
01:07:49 --> 01:07:50 mid card
01:07:50 --> 01:07:53 probably on the verge of being a a a
01:07:53 --> 01:07:54 budget cut
01:07:54 --> 01:07:57 when he got pulled into the Bloodline.
01:07:57 --> 01:07:59 So everything he said was true,
01:07:59 --> 01:08:02 but what Sami said when Sami fired back
01:08:02 --> 01:08:05 at him was also true. When Sami said,
01:08:05 --> 01:08:07 you remember my match,
01:08:07 --> 01:08:09 we don't remember what you did at 38.
01:08:09 --> 01:08:11 Every last one of us stopped and said,
01:08:11 --> 01:08:13 what the hell did Roman do at 38?
01:08:13 --> 01:08:15 >> Cuz I Cuz I literally thought that was
01:08:15 --> 01:08:16 [laughter] I was like, wasn't that Cody?
01:08:16 --> 01:08:17 No, that was
01:08:17 --> 01:08:19 >> Exact Exactly.
01:08:19 --> 01:08:21 So everybody had the same reaction. So
01:08:21 --> 01:08:24 Sami held his own. This whole This whole
01:08:24 --> 01:08:26 character, like I said from Sami, was
01:08:26 --> 01:08:28 going to be his best work and he has
01:08:28 --> 01:08:30 showed everybody that he's real good on
01:08:30 --> 01:08:31 the mic.
01:08:31 --> 01:08:34 Sami is damn good on the mic. He can go
01:08:34 --> 01:08:35 He can go with anybody.
01:08:35 --> 01:08:38 And he's telling the truth in a heel
01:08:38 --> 01:08:39 way.
01:08:39 --> 01:08:40 As far as the match go,
01:08:40 --> 01:08:43 I think we all I think we all think
01:08:43 --> 01:08:45 Sami's going to go over because of 946.
01:08:45 --> 01:08:46 >> Mhm.
01:08:46 --> 01:08:48 >> So yeah, I got I got Sami getting the
01:08:48 --> 01:08:50 dub and and I loved how Raw ended.
01:08:50 --> 01:08:52 When 946 destroyed Roman, I loved Sami
01:08:52 --> 01:08:54 snuck in there and got his got his lick
01:08:54 --> 01:08:55 back for all that crap you was talking
01:08:55 --> 01:08:57 at the beginning.
01:08:57 --> 01:08:57 >> Mhm.
01:08:57 --> 01:08:59 >> And then when it went off the air,
01:08:59 --> 01:09:00 I know y'all seen it online, he threw up
01:09:00 --> 01:09:02 the ones on him.
01:09:02 --> 01:09:02 >> Mhm.
01:09:02 --> 01:09:02 >> Yeah, I saw that.
01:09:02 --> 01:09:04 >> man, I saw that. I was like, that's
01:09:04 --> 01:09:07 messed up.
01:09:07 --> 01:09:07 >> [laughter]
01:09:07 --> 01:09:10 >> So Sami killing it and I will say, tune
01:09:10 --> 01:09:11 in to SmackDown. Hopefully y'all didn't
01:09:11 --> 01:09:13 catch no spoilers. Y'all know I watched
01:09:13 --> 01:09:15 all the spoilers. Tune in to SmackDown.
01:09:15 --> 01:09:17 >> No, I don't want no spoilers.
01:09:17 --> 01:09:19 >> Yeah, make sure you watch SmackDown.
01:09:19 --> 01:09:21 Sami's Sami's but Sami's character work
01:09:21 --> 01:09:23 is
01:09:23 --> 01:09:25 outside of Roman and 946
01:09:25 --> 01:09:28 he's literally my thing to watch on on
01:09:28 --> 01:09:30 the show right now.
01:09:30 --> 01:09:33 >> Listen, I I I coach.
01:09:33 --> 01:09:35 Sami Zayn
01:09:35 --> 01:09:38 has taken a little bit of the playbook
01:09:38 --> 01:09:40 from Drew McIntyre last year.
01:09:40 --> 01:09:40 >> Mhm.
01:09:40 --> 01:09:43 >> And what he's done with it
01:09:43 --> 01:09:44 and run with it
01:09:44 --> 01:09:46 >> Mhm. [clears throat]
01:09:46 --> 01:09:46 >> Oh, bravo.
01:09:46 --> 01:09:48 >> I got to give him credit because what
01:09:48 --> 01:09:52 what Drew was doing as a heel telling
01:09:52 --> 01:09:54 the truth, but you don't want to hear it
01:09:54 --> 01:09:58 because you hate me was was I was like,
01:09:58 --> 01:09:59 wow, he's doing great work. But Sami
01:09:59 --> 01:10:02 Zayn has taken that playbook and run
01:10:02 --> 01:10:03 with it.
01:10:03 --> 01:10:04 >> That's a bit of a sore spot for me
01:10:04 --> 01:10:06 because it's like I was promised a
01:10:06 --> 01:10:08 bloodline Hunter like program and I
01:10:08 --> 01:10:09 never got it.
01:10:09 --> 01:10:10 >> Mhm.
01:10:10 --> 01:10:11 >> You know,
01:10:11 --> 01:10:13 [laughter] you know,
01:10:13 --> 01:10:14 you know, and and again, long-term
01:10:14 --> 01:10:16 storytelling. It's like Drew went to go
01:10:16 --> 01:10:17 make a couple of movies. Maybe we come
01:10:17 --> 01:10:19 back to that, you know, down the line.
01:10:19 --> 01:10:21 But it's like um yeah, I'm I'm sorry I'm
01:10:21 --> 01:10:23 distracted. It's like
01:10:23 --> 01:10:25 Kyle Fletcher just tried to kill kill
01:10:25 --> 01:10:27 Will Ospreay. Just you know like
01:10:27 --> 01:10:29 >> [laughter]
01:10:29 --> 01:10:31 >> I FORGOT THAT WAS HOW I GOT TO PUT IT ON
01:10:31 --> 01:10:31 THERE.
01:10:31 --> 01:10:33 YEAH, it's yeah, but anyway though, it's
01:10:33 --> 01:10:34 like I'm watching that. I'm watching
01:10:34 --> 01:10:37 whatever. But like um so just my my
01:10:37 --> 01:10:40 thoughts on like Sami as a whole is like
01:10:40 --> 01:10:41 I was here last week, you know what I'm
01:10:41 --> 01:10:42 saying, which is crazy me being here two
01:10:42 --> 01:10:45 two weeks in a row. Um but like um was
01:10:45 --> 01:10:49 here and I was like, hey, this is
01:10:49 --> 01:10:51 some of Sami's best work outside of like
01:10:51 --> 01:10:53 when he was with the bloodline. And he
01:10:53 --> 01:10:55 is a guy who has always been able to
01:10:55 --> 01:10:57 hold his own on the mic. You know what
01:10:57 --> 01:10:59 I'm saying? And it's like I went back
01:10:59 --> 01:11:00 and actually watched some of those like,
01:11:00 --> 01:11:01 you know, like, you know, everybody
01:11:01 --> 01:11:03 remembers like the feeling Usy and all
01:11:03 --> 01:11:04 this stuff like that and everything.
01:11:04 --> 01:11:06 It's like when he was in the bloodline,
01:11:06 --> 01:11:08 when he got the mic
01:11:08 --> 01:11:10 during the bloodline time, it's like he
01:11:10 --> 01:11:11 was like one of the highlights, you
01:11:11 --> 01:11:13 know, whenever whenever he got the mic
01:11:13 --> 01:11:15 and whenever it was his turn to talk. So
01:11:15 --> 01:11:16 it's just like I feel like people forget
01:11:16 --> 01:11:20 just how he's he's used to having a mic
01:11:20 --> 01:11:22 in the ring with Roman. This isn't his
01:11:22 --> 01:11:24 first go round. You know what I'm
01:11:24 --> 01:11:25 saying? He he there's a level of
01:11:25 --> 01:11:27 comfort. You know, we talked earlier
01:11:27 --> 01:11:28 about like how guys just don't
01:11:28 --> 01:11:30 each other and stuff like that.
01:11:30 --> 01:11:31 Roman can say all he wants to, like him
01:11:31 --> 01:11:33 and Sammy are
01:11:33 --> 01:11:35 they they have chemistry. They bump.
01:11:35 --> 01:11:37 They work. And that's why this match is
01:11:37 --> 01:11:38 going to be so fantastic and I can't
01:11:38 --> 01:11:40 wait for it. Um
01:11:40 --> 01:11:41 >> And this is going to be another match
01:11:41 --> 01:11:45 that that that Roman puts over somebody
01:11:45 --> 01:11:48 and makes them so much better.
01:11:48 --> 01:11:50 >> This is this is this is completely oh
01:11:50 --> 01:11:53 this is not WWE related at all. Well,
01:11:53 --> 01:11:54 actually it is.
01:11:54 --> 01:11:57 Is that the Godwins?
01:11:57 --> 01:11:59 >> It looks like [laughter] it, right?
01:11:59 --> 01:12:02 But see this this is the type of match
01:12:02 --> 01:12:05 that I can't watch why I don't watch AEW
01:12:05 --> 01:12:06 as much because it's like
01:12:06 --> 01:12:09 I I I see this. It's just barbaric and
01:12:09 --> 01:12:09 it's like
01:12:09 --> 01:12:11 >> don't I don't [clears throat] I don't
01:12:11 --> 01:12:12 know I don't I don't know, Barry. It's
01:12:12 --> 01:12:14 like the match that is called Blood and
01:12:14 --> 01:12:15 Guts is going to have a little blood in
01:12:15 --> 01:12:16 it. I don't know that match is called
01:12:16 --> 01:12:17 Blood and Guts.
01:12:17 --> 01:12:19 >> I can't I can't watch it and then my
01:12:19 --> 01:12:21 daughter comes down, oh Dad, I want to
01:12:21 --> 01:12:22 watch wrestling. This ain't wrestling,
01:12:22 --> 01:12:24 babe. This is not wrestling. And he's
01:12:24 --> 01:12:27 but I want to watch it. You know, so
01:12:27 --> 01:12:27 like
01:12:27 --> 01:12:29 >> I always I always
01:12:29 --> 01:12:30 I always I always
01:12:30 --> 01:12:33 >> everybody with a screwdriver. Yes.
01:12:33 --> 01:12:35 Stab stab everybody.
01:12:35 --> 01:12:38 Yes. You stick it stick it stick it
01:12:38 --> 01:12:39 and now Will Osprey is biting
01:12:39 --> 01:12:41 >> He going to bite him and everything.
01:12:41 --> 01:12:43 >> Biting his arm off like you know we
01:12:43 --> 01:12:44 going to have a splash on the floor.
01:12:44 --> 01:12:46 >> be on this show because it's like I'm
01:12:46 --> 01:12:47 derailing the show because like there's
01:12:47 --> 01:12:49 actual wrestling going on right now. So
01:12:49 --> 01:12:50 that's where my attention is going to go
01:12:50 --> 01:12:52 to and yes Will hit him with the barbed
01:12:52 --> 01:12:53 wire chair.
01:12:53 --> 01:12:54 >> Yeah, barbed wire chair like you know
01:12:54 --> 01:12:56 these guys are just like taking years
01:12:56 --> 01:12:57 off their lives.
01:12:57 --> 01:12:59 >> hey any any anybody watching listening
01:12:59 --> 01:13:01 to this, the women have a Blood and Guts
01:13:01 --> 01:13:04 match too. And the women's match is much
01:13:04 --> 01:13:06 more brutal than the men's match. I'll
01:13:06 --> 01:13:07 tell you that.
01:13:07 --> 01:13:08 >> [laughter]
01:13:08 --> 01:13:09 >> Yeah, like you couldn't pay me enough to
01:13:09 --> 01:13:11 be in this match. I'm like I'm I 'm
01:13:11 --> 01:13:12 good.
01:13:12 --> 01:13:15 I'm good. But yeah, go ahead go ahead go
01:13:15 --> 01:13:16 who we talking about Sammy. Go ahead.
01:13:16 --> 01:13:18 >> Yeah yeah but anyway about about about
01:13:18 --> 01:13:19 Sammy like I said Sammy has been doing
01:13:19 --> 01:13:20 this for a while. You know what I'm
01:13:20 --> 01:13:22 saying to get to that [cough] point.
01:13:22 --> 01:13:24 It's like this is not like new to him.
01:13:24 --> 01:13:27 You know this he's used to this. He this
01:13:27 --> 01:13:29 he has built for this moment. Um I do
01:13:29 --> 01:13:32 think that because it
01:13:32 --> 01:13:34 kind of it's a home game for Sami, I
01:13:34 --> 01:13:36 wouldn't be shocked if again, what do I
01:13:36 --> 01:13:37 always say? And I've been saying this
01:13:37 --> 01:13:39 for for a long time. Crown Jewel isn't
01:13:39 --> 01:13:41 Canon, at least not to me. You know what
01:13:41 --> 01:13:43 I'm saying? So it's like Sami Zayn
01:13:43 --> 01:13:45 winning this match and being the Crown
01:13:45 --> 01:13:48 Jewel champion, it don't really matter
01:13:48 --> 01:13:50 to me. I just want to see a good match.
01:13:50 --> 01:13:52 This is the only it the the match is not
01:13:52 --> 01:13:54 for the championship. It's for the Crown
01:13:54 --> 01:13:56 Jewel championship. It go it they they
01:13:56 --> 01:13:58 get what they get the cool ring, you
01:13:58 --> 01:13:59 know what I'm saying? Which is kind of
01:13:59 --> 01:14:00 cool. But you know like it ain't like
01:14:00 --> 01:14:02 they keep the belt. The belt's like 800
01:14:02 --> 01:14:04 lb and like got like 3 million like
01:14:04 --> 01:14:06 booty diamonds on it.
01:14:06 --> 01:14:08 It has to stay there. It doesn't move.
01:14:08 --> 01:14:09 They bring it out in the ring and they
01:14:09 --> 01:14:11 can like man, look at that belt. That
01:14:11 --> 01:14:13 show is nice. Here's a ring, you know,
01:14:13 --> 01:14:15 but like but like like
01:14:15 --> 01:14:16 >> the pictures with it with the big ass
01:14:16 --> 01:14:19 belt that goes up to their neck. They
01:14:19 --> 01:14:20 take the pictures and then they get a
01:14:20 --> 01:14:21 ring. They wear the ring for 2 weeks and
01:14:21 --> 01:14:22 that's it.
01:14:22 --> 01:14:24 >> and Cody goofy ass put the belt on. It's
01:14:24 --> 01:14:27 like Cody take what what what are you
01:14:27 --> 01:14:27 [laughter]
01:14:27 --> 01:14:28 I still can't believe I still can't
01:14:28 --> 01:14:30 believe he tried to put it on. It's like
01:14:30 --> 01:14:30 what are you doing?
01:14:30 --> 01:14:32 >> dad's pants off. What's wrong with you?
01:14:32 --> 01:14:33 >> Cuz it's
01:14:33 --> 01:14:34 Cuz it's Cody.
01:14:34 --> 01:14:36 >> yeah, I like it doesn't benefit Roman to
01:14:36 --> 01:14:38 win this match. It benefits the
01:14:38 --> 01:14:39 storyline.
01:14:39 --> 01:14:40 >> Sami. Mhm.
01:14:40 --> 01:14:42 >> It benefits the storyline for Sami. It
01:14:42 --> 01:14:43 benefits the storyline that they're
01:14:43 --> 01:14:45 building up to uh WarGames to have him
01:14:45 --> 01:14:46 lose
01:14:46 --> 01:14:48 >> It don't it don't nobody nobody here
01:14:48 --> 01:14:50 believes he's going to straight up beat
01:14:50 --> 01:14:51 Roman, right?
01:14:51 --> 01:14:53 >> Mm-mm. No, it's not it's it's it's
01:14:53 --> 01:14:54 definitely
01:14:54 --> 01:14:54 okay.
01:14:54 --> 01:14:56 >> think he wins clean. I don't know no one
01:14:56 --> 01:14:57 believes he wins clean.
01:14:57 --> 01:14:59 >> got that tease on Raw that
01:14:59 --> 01:15:00 [clears throat] he picked the bones
01:15:00 --> 01:15:02 after 946 beat the hell of them, that's
01:15:02 --> 01:15:04 exactly what that's the play they're
01:15:04 --> 01:15:06 going to run at Crown Jewel. Serious,
01:15:06 --> 01:15:08 what do you think about Cody's I mean
01:15:08 --> 01:15:11 Sami's work in in the Crown Jewel match?
01:15:11 --> 01:15:12 >> You know, I'm looking forward to seeing
01:15:12 --> 01:15:14 how this thing happens and goes off, you
01:15:14 --> 01:15:16 know what I'm saying? I I I have been
01:15:16 --> 01:15:18 one that have been very very excited
01:15:18 --> 01:15:20 about the work that Sami has done and
01:15:20 --> 01:15:22 I'm not going to spend a whole time
01:15:22 --> 01:15:23 talking about Sami Zayn because y'all
01:15:23 --> 01:15:25 did that last week when I was driving
01:15:25 --> 01:15:27 through 16 cities.
01:15:27 --> 01:15:30 Uh so um
01:15:30 --> 01:15:30 >> [laughter]
01:15:30 --> 01:15:31 >> I'm going to say this.
01:15:31 --> 01:15:32 >> is serious.
01:15:32 --> 01:15:33 >> I'm I'm going to
01:15:33 --> 01:15:35 >> this. Um,
01:15:35 --> 01:15:35 >> I
01:15:35 --> 01:15:37 >> what happened on Monday night, man. It
01:15:37 --> 01:15:40 it was very well done. Uh, think both
01:15:40 --> 01:15:42 guys really got, you know, got off what
01:15:42 --> 01:15:43 they need to get off and at the end of
01:15:43 --> 01:15:46 the day Sammy had his last laugh.
01:15:46 --> 01:15:47 Um,
01:15:47 --> 01:15:49 and uh
01:15:49 --> 01:15:50 you know, if if if conventional
01:15:50 --> 01:15:53 understanding and wisdom would to kind
01:15:53 --> 01:15:55 of show its head,
01:15:55 --> 01:15:56 um,
01:15:56 --> 01:15:58 you know, Sammy, you know, was left
01:15:58 --> 01:16:01 standing on on on the blow off to the
01:16:01 --> 01:16:04 PLE. So it
01:16:04 --> 01:16:06 it wouldn't shock me
01:16:06 --> 01:16:09 um if they gave it to Roman, but for the
01:16:09 --> 01:16:11 storyline and for everything that is to
01:16:11 --> 01:16:12 come,
01:16:12 --> 01:16:16 um, I I do think Sammy wins it. I do
01:16:16 --> 01:16:18 think Sammy wins it.
01:16:18 --> 01:16:20 >> Yeah, and I I it it has to be. I feel
01:16:20 --> 01:16:21 like it has to be.
01:16:21 --> 01:16:23 Um, but yeah, I love the work Sammy's
01:16:23 --> 01:16:26 doing right now. Um, you know, I I hate
01:16:26 --> 01:16:28 it cuz he's a heel, but like
01:16:28 --> 01:16:31 I I I want to be the only villain, but I
01:16:31 --> 01:16:33 can I disrespect the work. I I really
01:16:33 --> 01:16:34 do. The women's match, I don't know
01:16:34 --> 01:16:36 where they're going with this. Liv in in
01:16:36 --> 01:16:38 Chelsea. Chelsea keeps Chelsea keeps
01:16:38 --> 01:16:41 eating pins. Um, Liv keeps looking like
01:16:41 --> 01:16:43 a a champion, which just irritates the
01:16:43 --> 01:16:45 hell out of me. I want shenanigans. I
01:16:45 --> 01:16:47 want Stephanie back in the to come back
01:16:47 --> 01:16:48 or somebody.
01:16:48 --> 01:16:49 What's going [snorts] Serious, what's
01:16:49 --> 01:16:51 your what's your handicap on this match?
01:16:51 --> 01:16:53 >> I honestly think that they're I think
01:16:53 --> 01:16:56 Tiffany Cash is in here.
01:16:56 --> 01:16:57 I think this is where Tiffany Cash is in
01:16:57 --> 01:17:01 and I think she turns on Chelsea
01:17:01 --> 01:17:03 heel.
01:17:03 --> 01:17:05 And I do think that
01:17:05 --> 01:17:06 I think it's I think it's one of two
01:17:06 --> 01:17:09 things. I either think that she turns it
01:17:09 --> 01:17:11 into a triple threat
01:17:11 --> 01:17:13 and when they're both incapacitated, she
01:17:13 --> 01:17:15 comes out, you know, and and and gets
01:17:15 --> 01:17:17 the pin and takes, you know, Chelsea's
01:17:17 --> 01:17:19 belt and the crown jewel or after the
01:17:19 --> 01:17:22 match, after Chelsea wins the crown
01:17:22 --> 01:17:23 jewel
01:17:23 --> 01:17:25 um,
01:17:25 --> 01:17:26 you know, championship cuz I don't think
01:17:26 --> 01:17:27 they're going to give it to Liv two
01:17:27 --> 01:17:28 times in a row.
01:17:28 --> 01:17:31 Um, but after Chelsea wins it
01:17:31 --> 01:17:33 They might. They might. But, you know,
01:17:33 --> 01:17:36 after after Chelsea wins it, uh, she's
01:17:36 --> 01:17:40 jumped and ambushed by the Judgment Day,
01:17:40 --> 01:17:43 and at that particular time, Tiffany
01:17:43 --> 01:17:45 caches in and
01:17:45 --> 01:17:47 I think the cash in comes here.
01:17:47 --> 01:17:48 >> I don't like that. I don't like that
01:17:48 --> 01:17:50 because that puts a fly in my Royal
01:17:50 --> 01:17:52 Crown Jewel isn't Canon suit. So, I
01:17:52 --> 01:17:54 don't like that.
01:17:54 --> 01:17:56 >> [laughter]
01:17:56 --> 01:17:57 >> What up, Edge?
01:17:57 --> 01:18:00 >> Serious serious serious. Are you going
01:18:00 --> 01:18:01 Are you going to be on the, uh, post
01:18:01 --> 01:18:03 show on Saturday after
01:18:03 --> 01:18:04 >> am not. I'm actually I'm actually
01:18:04 --> 01:18:06 working.
01:18:06 --> 01:18:09 >> Okay, so when you when you get back from
01:18:09 --> 01:18:10 the game you working, you're going to be
01:18:10 --> 01:18:12 highly disappointed because there's no
01:18:12 --> 01:18:14 cash in coming.
01:18:14 --> 01:18:15 Every time we sit here and we expect the
01:18:15 --> 01:18:18 cash in, we don't get it.
01:18:18 --> 01:18:21 So, so I got I got Liv winning
01:18:21 --> 01:18:24 the same way she always wins.
01:18:24 --> 01:18:25 I don't think they're going to do
01:18:25 --> 01:18:26 nothing different.
01:18:26 --> 01:18:28 That's going to be a basic It's going to
01:18:28 --> 01:18:30 be a basic Liv win with the Judgment Day
01:18:30 --> 01:18:31 involved.
01:18:31 --> 01:18:33 Stratten to come out there to help. They
01:18:33 --> 01:18:35 may lay them both out.
01:18:35 --> 01:18:36 >> Io comes out there to help.
01:18:36 --> 01:18:38 >> Yeah, Io It's going to be exactly what
01:18:38 --> 01:18:40 we see on Raw every week.
01:18:40 --> 01:18:41 You going to be expecting that cash in
01:18:41 --> 01:18:43 Yeah, they going to run the same play.
01:18:43 --> 01:18:45 That cash in ain't coming.
01:18:45 --> 01:18:47 I I wouldn't even be shocked if half
01:18:47 --> 01:18:50 them women didn't go over there.
01:18:50 --> 01:18:51 >> I I mean [laughter]
01:18:51 --> 01:18:53 We were We were talking about that last
01:18:53 --> 01:18:56 week in in in in the thread, and the
01:18:56 --> 01:18:58 more and more I thought about it,
01:18:58 --> 01:18:59 um,
01:18:59 --> 01:19:02 I think they kind of have to, bro.
01:19:02 --> 01:19:03 >> If they If they
01:19:03 --> 01:19:04 >> [laughter]
01:19:04 --> 01:19:05 >> Because Because Liv Liv's not going to
01:19:05 --> 01:19:07 win it clean.
01:19:07 --> 01:19:09 >> No, no. She not. Her crew going to be
01:19:09 --> 01:19:11 there. What I'm saying They dropping
01:19:11 --> 01:19:13 another bomb every day over there, man.
01:19:13 --> 01:19:14 These wrestlers ain't trying to go. If
01:19:14 --> 01:19:16 I'm not involved, I'm not going.
01:19:16 --> 01:19:17 >> I'm not you.
01:19:17 --> 01:19:19 >> Yeah, so
01:19:19 --> 01:19:20 this going I I just feel like this going
01:19:20 --> 01:19:23 to be a basic Liv match, and we all
01:19:23 --> 01:19:24 going to come when we when we do the
01:19:24 --> 01:19:26 post show or whatever.
01:19:26 --> 01:19:29 Whoever on it going to be like
01:19:29 --> 01:19:30 I can't believe that's what we sat here
01:19:30 --> 01:19:32 and watched. They did it again. Ain't
01:19:32 --> 01:19:33 nothing different.
01:19:33 --> 01:19:34 And we'll complain about it.
01:19:34 --> 01:19:35 >> I'm sure.
01:19:35 --> 01:19:36 >> And we we won't we won't be
01:19:36 --> 01:19:37 [clears throat] here long doing it, but
01:19:37 --> 01:19:38 please watch our
01:19:38 --> 01:19:42 um, Hard Truths right after the PLE on
01:19:42 --> 01:19:44 Saturday. If you, you know, want to take
01:19:44 --> 01:19:45 a little bit of time from your college
01:19:45 --> 01:19:48 football watching and and watch us
01:19:48 --> 01:19:49 post game
01:19:49 --> 01:19:51 on the the Crown Jewel, you can
01:19:51 --> 01:19:53 definitely watch us on all streaming
01:19:53 --> 01:19:55 devices. Um,
01:19:55 --> 01:19:57 coach, you you think Liv's going to win
01:19:57 --> 01:19:58 or you got Chelsea?
01:19:58 --> 01:20:02 >> You you know, again, like because like
01:20:02 --> 01:20:04 it would make all the sense in the world
01:20:04 --> 01:20:06 for Liv to win. That's why I'm going to
01:20:06 --> 01:20:08 I think Chelsea wins cuz like she's been
01:20:08 --> 01:20:10 she's been she's been even pinned. She's
01:20:10 --> 01:20:13 and then it's like and it's like, look,
01:20:13 --> 01:20:15 a lot of people in the back in the back,
01:20:15 --> 01:20:18 um, don't get Chelsea Green. Some people
01:20:18 --> 01:20:20 do. And it just comes down to who who
01:20:20 --> 01:20:21 gets [clears throat] her more because
01:20:21 --> 01:20:24 like for Chelsea Green, this can just be
01:20:24 --> 01:20:26 like the cherry on top of a fantastic
01:20:26 --> 01:20:28 year for her, winning the championship,
01:20:28 --> 01:20:29 winning Crown the Crown Jewel
01:20:29 --> 01:20:30 championship. [clears throat]
01:20:30 --> 01:20:32 It's just like it it would be strange to
01:20:32 --> 01:20:34 see
01:20:34 --> 01:20:36 Liv win it again, but again, like like
01:20:36 --> 01:20:38 you guys just said, same old like here
01:20:38 --> 01:20:41 and here comes Raquel and you know, and
01:20:41 --> 01:20:43 oh, and then oh, and then up it's Io.
01:20:43 --> 01:20:45 You know, and then here comes every time
01:20:45 --> 01:20:47 like we we've seen like we've seen this
01:20:47 --> 01:20:49 before. The only difference is they're
01:20:49 --> 01:20:50 going to all be in like their like
01:20:50 --> 01:20:52 spandex bodysuits. It's going to be the
01:20:52 --> 01:20:53 same thing we see on SmackDown and Raw.
01:20:53 --> 01:20:55 The only
01:20:55 --> 01:20:55 the only thing that's different is the
01:20:55 --> 01:20:57 setting. It's going to be the same
01:20:57 --> 01:20:58 thing. You know, so
01:20:58 --> 01:20:59 >> Yeah, I don't get it I don't get enough
01:20:59 --> 01:21:01 Chelsea Green. I mean, when she came
01:21:01 --> 01:21:04 running down the ring a couple shows ago
01:21:04 --> 01:21:07 in that blue, that's the Chelsea Green I
01:21:07 --> 01:21:08 need to see. I don't need to see all
01:21:08 --> 01:21:10 that um, in a bodysuit.
01:21:10 --> 01:21:11 >> to see that. You ain't going You ain't
01:21:11 --> 01:21:13 going to see that in Saudi.
01:21:13 --> 01:21:14 >> I know. That's the problem. That's why I
01:21:14 --> 01:21:15 don't like That's WHY I DON'T LIKE
01:21:15 --> 01:21:18 MESSING WITH them boys over there. Um,
01:21:18 --> 01:21:20 but yeah, I listen, I I I think Chelsea
01:21:20 --> 01:21:22 gets this. I think Chelsea needs this
01:21:22 --> 01:21:23 more than Liv needs this. If you're
01:21:23 --> 01:21:24 going to start to build her as a
01:21:24 --> 01:21:26 credible champion, it this is the time
01:21:26 --> 01:21:28 to do it and I think this is a good way
01:21:28 --> 01:21:31 to offer champion that is credible in
01:21:31 --> 01:21:33 Liv Morgan. She's she's supposedly the
01:21:33 --> 01:21:39 greatest of all
01:21:39 --> 01:21:41 time. So why not have her be there?
01:21:41 --> 01:21:41 >> But
01:21:41 --> 01:21:43 >> but, but you're you you keep going back
01:21:43 --> 01:21:45 to the premise that they want to make
01:21:45 --> 01:21:48 Chelsea a credible champion.
01:21:48 --> 01:21:49 They clearly don't.
01:21:49 --> 01:21:52 They put the belt on her to shut us up.
01:21:52 --> 01:21:53 >> Yeah, I I understand that.
01:21:53 --> 01:21:55 >> want to make they don't want to make her
01:21:55 --> 01:21:56 a credible champion, which is why she's
01:21:56 --> 01:21:58 eating a pin every week. What champion
01:21:58 --> 01:22:00 you know getting beat every week?
01:22:00 --> 01:22:02 >> I know. They need to fix this. They need
01:22:02 --> 01:22:02 to fix this.
01:22:02 --> 01:22:04 >> I mean that's that's what I'm it
01:22:04 --> 01:22:05 [clears throat] would it would be kind
01:22:05 --> 01:22:07 of like the classic, you know, wrestling
01:22:07 --> 01:22:09 trope for her to actually win the crown
01:22:09 --> 01:22:10 jewel because like she's been eating all
01:22:10 --> 01:22:12 these pins. So like yeah, that that's
01:22:12 --> 01:22:14 that's classic, you know,
01:22:14 --> 01:22:16 lose, lose, lose, lose, but then win the
01:22:16 --> 01:22:17 big one. You know what I'm saying? Like
01:22:17 --> 01:22:19 that's we've seen yeah, we've seen that
01:22:19 --> 01:22:21 time after time. So it's like yeah.
01:22:21 --> 01:22:22 So yeah.
01:22:22 --> 01:22:24 >> absolutely. Real real quick.
01:22:24 --> 01:22:26 Last man standing, Randy Orton, Cody
01:22:26 --> 01:22:29 Rhodes. You finally got the feud. We got
01:22:29 --> 01:22:30 the story build up that we should have
01:22:30 --> 01:22:32 got at WrestleMania. Now these two will
01:22:32 --> 01:22:34 probably have their blow off match. I
01:22:34 --> 01:22:36 think it's supposed to be the winner
01:22:36 --> 01:22:38 gets a number one championship. I don't
01:22:38 --> 01:22:39 know if that was
01:22:39 --> 01:22:42 speculation or truth, but I mean they've
01:22:42 --> 01:22:43 they've stayed away long enough. They're
01:22:43 --> 01:22:45 going to have a last man standing match.
01:22:45 --> 01:22:47 Randy Orton really dug deep and and
01:22:47 --> 01:22:50 talked about Dusty Rhodes.
01:22:50 --> 01:22:51 It was his last match and kicked him,
01:22:51 --> 01:22:53 you know, all that good stuff. Cody
01:22:53 --> 01:22:56 Rhodes is is teasing Homelander Cody for
01:22:56 --> 01:22:58 for for
01:22:58 --> 01:23:01 for Corey. I know he's happy about that.
01:23:01 --> 01:23:02 Corey,
01:23:02 --> 01:23:04 who's the last man standing?
01:23:04 --> 01:23:06 >> Cody Cody will win, but
01:23:06 --> 01:23:08 I'm going to tell you this right now, if
01:23:08 --> 01:23:10 Cody don't punt Randy,
01:23:10 --> 01:23:12 they going to mess his character up.
01:23:12 --> 01:23:14 He has to punt him. It's been teased too
01:23:14 --> 01:23:16 much. It's been teased too much and you
01:23:16 --> 01:23:18 you held you held back last time and you
01:23:18 --> 01:23:22 hesitated. If you hesitate again,
01:23:22 --> 01:23:22 people really going to
01:23:22 --> 01:23:24 >> to see this feud anymore if they do
01:23:24 --> 01:23:24 that.
01:23:24 --> 01:23:26 >> people really going to turn on you.
01:23:26 --> 01:23:28 Cuz everybody's expect everybody's
01:23:28 --> 01:23:30 expecting you to punt Randy's head off.
01:23:30 --> 01:23:33 If you don't do it if and God forbid if
01:23:33 --> 01:23:35 you get set up and you hesitate again,
01:23:35 --> 01:23:36 oh
01:23:36 --> 01:23:37 oh it's going to be a problem. But Cody
01:23:37 --> 01:23:39 Cody Cody should get the
01:23:39 --> 01:23:41 Cody should get the
01:23:41 --> 01:23:44 but Andy it be by a punt.
01:23:44 --> 01:23:45 There's no other way for this match to
01:23:45 --> 01:23:47 end, unless they put Randy over, which I
01:23:47 --> 01:23:48 just can't see.
01:23:48 --> 01:23:50 >> yes, there is. It's the way, this is the
01:23:50 --> 01:23:52 way I think, this is the way I think the
01:23:52 --> 01:23:55 match should end. I think Randy wins,
01:23:55 --> 01:23:56 and then this is where we finally get
01:23:56 --> 01:23:58 the heel turn.
01:23:58 --> 01:24:01 Cody is so pissed off that Randy won,
01:24:01 --> 01:24:03 that's when he punts Randy.
01:24:03 --> 01:24:04 >> Okay.
01:24:04 --> 01:24:05 >> Okay. [snorts]
01:24:05 --> 01:24:06 >> punts him, he he he he they this
01:24:06 --> 01:24:09 hard-fought match, he loses, Cody's like
01:24:09 --> 01:24:11 crashing out, and then that's when we
01:24:11 --> 01:24:13 get the punt from Cody. Then that's when
01:24:13 --> 01:24:14 we get the punt.
01:24:14 --> 01:24:15 >> now. You talking my language now.
01:24:15 --> 01:24:17 >> he how does he do it? Like I don't think
01:24:17 --> 01:24:19 the punt will turn him heel. I think the
01:24:19 --> 01:24:21 punt will satisfy everybody that we love
01:24:21 --> 01:24:23 him because he had he finally did it. I
01:24:23 --> 01:24:25 don't think it'll turn him heel.
01:24:25 --> 01:24:25 But
01:24:25 --> 01:24:26 >> happened what happened is like it would
01:24:26 --> 01:24:28 be a hard-fought match, it would be a
01:24:28 --> 01:24:30 thing where it's like, hey, these guys
01:24:30 --> 01:24:31 finally had to blow off, it would be a
01:24:31 --> 01:24:33 thing like Randy might even like extend
01:24:33 --> 01:24:35 his hand or whatever like that and be
01:24:35 --> 01:24:37 like, you know what, bro, you know
01:24:37 --> 01:24:39 we we we you know there's more than one
01:24:39 --> 01:24:41 royal family as, you know, we said you
01:24:41 --> 01:24:43 know, and it's like these are they're
01:24:43 --> 01:24:45 wrestling royalty, you know, both of
01:24:45 --> 01:24:46 them are. Let's let's let's call a spade
01:24:46 --> 01:24:47 a spade. It's like I can see where it's
01:24:47 --> 01:24:49 like Randy tries to be like, all right,
01:24:49 --> 01:24:52 well, everything whatever like that, and
01:24:52 --> 01:24:54 then Cody like pretty much does like a
01:24:54 --> 01:24:55 Cena. You know what I'm saying? Like
01:24:55 --> 01:24:57 while they're in the midst of the hug,
01:24:57 --> 01:24:59 hit him hit him with the the the low
01:24:59 --> 01:25:01 blow and then hit him with the punt.
01:25:01 --> 01:25:04 >> yeah Like I I I would love to see that
01:25:04 --> 01:25:07 Randy wins and but still um
01:25:07 --> 01:25:09 Cody punts him. I just wonder how they
01:25:09 --> 01:25:12 do it that Randy wins. What happens to
01:25:12 --> 01:25:14 get to the Randy win? How do they get
01:25:14 --> 01:25:15 that ending
01:25:15 --> 01:25:18 and then Cody cuz it has to be a last
01:25:18 --> 01:25:19 man standing.
01:25:19 --> 01:25:21 It has to be a 10 count. So how does
01:25:21 --> 01:25:23 how do they do that and then, you know,
01:25:23 --> 01:25:26 make it make it make sense? I feel like
01:25:26 --> 01:25:28 it has to be I feel like Cody has to win
01:25:28 --> 01:25:31 with the punt that Randy can't get up
01:25:31 --> 01:25:33 and then they got to wheel this guy out.
01:25:33 --> 01:25:35 [clears throat] You know what I mean?
01:25:35 --> 01:25:39 >> yeah I mean I get that like look man I'm
01:25:39 --> 01:25:41 I'm trying to think on the fly like how
01:25:41 --> 01:25:43 we would get to that. Like I I I had the
01:25:43 --> 01:25:45 ending written already. It's like
01:25:45 --> 01:25:47 you know I'm I just I I get what you're
01:25:47 --> 01:25:49 saying. It's like but I I think the
01:25:49 --> 01:25:52 ending will be Cody quote unquote turn.
01:25:52 --> 01:25:54 He will lose the match and then after
01:25:54 --> 01:25:56 the match he will punt Randy and it'll
01:25:56 --> 01:25:58 be like oh like you know Cody what are
01:25:58 --> 01:25:59 you doing? What are you doing? You guys
01:25:59 --> 01:26:01 just you guys just had this brilliant
01:26:01 --> 01:26:03 match and like and then you know Cody
01:26:03 --> 01:26:05 starts like you know doing his deal or
01:26:05 --> 01:26:07 whatever like that so it could it could
01:26:07 --> 01:26:10 be that but I just wish this match
01:26:10 --> 01:26:11 wasn't over there.
01:26:11 --> 01:26:13 >> That's that's why that's why I don't see
01:26:13 --> 01:26:15 that ending because of where it's at.
01:26:15 --> 01:26:17 >> Yeah and that's the only reason why I
01:26:17 --> 01:26:20 feel like a ending like that
01:26:20 --> 01:26:21 you don't waste that on them and that's
01:26:21 --> 01:26:24 look there's no disrespect to the people
01:26:24 --> 01:26:26 over in Saudi Arabia. I just feel like
01:26:26 --> 01:26:28 if we're going to do that
01:26:28 --> 01:26:30 that needs to be here in the good old
01:26:30 --> 01:26:32 USA.
01:26:32 --> 01:26:33 >> That's a Survivor Series match.
01:26:33 --> 01:26:37 >> Yeah yeah that's that's that's I would
01:26:37 --> 01:26:40 I would I would I would I would to get
01:26:40 --> 01:26:41 to that
01:26:41 --> 01:26:43 I would just have somebody or a couple
01:26:43 --> 01:26:45 people come out there lay them both out
01:26:45 --> 01:26:46 and can't neither one of them get up
01:26:46 --> 01:26:49 that way you have to have a rematch.
01:26:49 --> 01:26:50 Then you get to the punt.
01:26:50 --> 01:26:52 >> Yeah now
01:26:52 --> 01:26:54 >> I feel like I feel like you wait yeah
01:26:54 --> 01:26:55 but I feel like you wasting it over
01:26:55 --> 01:26:57 there. You wasting it over there.
01:26:57 --> 01:26:59 >> Drew McIntyre returns lays them both out
01:26:59 --> 01:27:01 and then like to be continued at
01:27:01 --> 01:27:02 Survivor Series or whatever like that
01:27:02 --> 01:27:03 something like that.
01:27:03 --> 01:27:05 >> don't hate that idea to be honest with
01:27:05 --> 01:27:07 you because Drew McIntyre has history
01:27:07 --> 01:27:09 and beef with both men.
01:27:09 --> 01:27:11 >> With both men yes.
01:27:11 --> 01:27:12 >> But he got history and beef with
01:27:12 --> 01:27:13 everybody.
01:27:13 --> 01:27:15 >> [laughter]
01:27:15 --> 01:27:18 >> Serious serious before before before you
01:27:18 --> 01:27:20 go I want you when you're cutting this
01:27:20 --> 01:27:22 up and you're doing your little producer
01:27:22 --> 01:27:25 thing I want you to go back and I want
01:27:25 --> 01:27:26 you to look at what you just did. When I
01:27:26 --> 01:27:28 suggested somebody come out there and
01:27:28 --> 01:27:30 stretch them out you was getting ready
01:27:30 --> 01:27:32 to disagree because I said it.
01:27:32 --> 01:27:34 I want you to go back and watch that.
01:27:34 --> 01:27:34 >> [laughter]
01:27:34 --> 01:27:35 >> I have to take a look at it.
01:27:35 --> 01:27:37 >> Damn shame.
01:27:37 --> 01:27:40 I have to TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
01:27:40 --> 01:27:41 >> And then had the nerve to say I don't
01:27:41 --> 01:27:44 hate that when coach said it.
01:27:44 --> 01:27:45 >> [laughter]
01:27:45 --> 01:27:47 >> I will say this though I I say this
01:27:47 --> 01:27:50 though I do think Cody gets the win.
01:27:50 --> 01:27:51 Um,
01:27:51 --> 01:27:51 >> Mhm.
01:27:51 --> 01:27:53 >> barring Drew McIntyre coming out there
01:27:53 --> 01:27:54 and laying those cats out
01:27:54 --> 01:27:56 to to to extend it.
01:27:56 --> 01:27:59 Um, I think he he punts him and I think
01:27:59 --> 01:28:02 he punts him more than once.
01:28:02 --> 01:28:02 >> Yeah.
01:28:02 --> 01:28:05 >> It It wouldn't shock me if he punts him
01:28:05 --> 01:28:08 and he punts him again and he punts him
01:28:08 --> 01:28:09 again.
01:28:09 --> 01:28:10 >> That's a heel turn.
01:28:10 --> 01:28:12 >> That's the only way you can get him to
01:28:12 --> 01:28:13 turn heel if he doesn't
01:28:13 --> 01:28:14 >> That's a heel That I was going to say
01:28:14 --> 01:28:15 that's a heel turn.
01:28:15 --> 01:28:17 >> Well, no, because I mean the thing is he
01:28:17 --> 01:28:19 he's been teasing the punt and talking
01:28:19 --> 01:28:21 about the punt and this whole thing has
01:28:21 --> 01:28:23 been centered around the punt.
01:28:23 --> 01:28:24 >> The punt, yep.
01:28:24 --> 01:28:25 >> Um, and so
01:28:25 --> 01:28:27 >> one punt is always enough.
01:28:27 --> 01:28:28 >> Yeah,
01:28:28 --> 01:28:29 yeah, yeah, one yeah, one punt
01:28:29 --> 01:28:30 >> I don't think so. I don't think so.
01:28:30 --> 01:28:33 >> one punt took out Vince. One punt took
01:28:33 --> 01:28:34 out Shane.
01:28:34 --> 01:28:36 >> I think he
01:28:36 --> 01:28:38 >> you get that multiple punt action that
01:28:38 --> 01:28:40 that's the crowd turns on you.
01:28:40 --> 01:28:42 >> It It It wouldn't shock me if he punts
01:28:42 --> 01:28:44 him more than once.
01:28:44 --> 01:28:44 >> Okay.
01:28:44 --> 01:28:46 >> and and and incapacitates him to the
01:28:46 --> 01:28:47 point where he can't answer the 10
01:28:47 --> 01:28:48 count.
01:28:48 --> 01:28:50 >> And And notice And notice, guys, and you
01:28:50 --> 01:28:51 you guys always know I notice these
01:28:51 --> 01:28:53 little things in these promos. Randy
01:28:53 --> 01:28:55 Orton brought up his surgically repaired
01:28:55 --> 01:28:56 neck a couple times.
01:28:56 --> 01:28:57 >> Yep.
01:28:57 --> 01:28:58 >> Mhm. Mhm.
01:28:58 --> 01:28:59 >> He He brought up like, oh, I paid the
01:28:59 --> 01:29:01 Vince and they can sew me back up again
01:29:01 --> 01:29:03 and stuff like that. Cody's going to be
01:29:03 --> 01:29:04 like, yeah, yeah, he's back. You're not
01:29:04 --> 01:29:06 in Addisons, but he's back. It's like,
01:29:06 --> 01:29:08 so, maybe Cody does something to where
01:29:08 --> 01:29:10 like he really wrecks, you know, Randy's
01:29:10 --> 01:29:11 back to where it's like he just like,
01:29:11 --> 01:29:13 you know, and then maybe punts him or
01:29:13 --> 01:29:14 whatever like that because then it's
01:29:14 --> 01:29:16 like you're building up. It's like they
01:29:16 --> 01:29:17 don't say these things in these promos
01:29:17 --> 01:29:19 for nothing. There's no such thing as a
01:29:19 --> 01:29:20 throwaway line in a promo.
01:29:20 --> 01:29:21 >> Yep.
01:29:21 --> 01:29:22 >> So it's it's like, you know what I'm
01:29:22 --> 01:29:23 saying? So it's like he mentioned that
01:29:23 --> 01:29:25 he mentioned his surgeon. He mentioned
01:29:25 --> 01:29:27 being stitched back up. He mentioned
01:29:27 --> 01:29:29 like he doesn't want to be a movie star
01:29:29 --> 01:29:30 and all this stuff like that. He just
01:29:30 --> 01:29:31 wants to be a professional wrestler. So
01:29:31 --> 01:29:32 what if Cody Rhodes takes away the one
01:29:32 --> 01:29:34 thing that Randy Orton wanted to do?
01:29:34 --> 01:29:36 >> Mhm.
01:29:36 --> 01:29:37 That That would be poetic. That would be
01:29:37 --> 01:29:40 poetic. It almost writes itself like you
01:29:40 --> 01:29:42 know
01:29:42 --> 01:29:44 you know what I'm saying? So this this
01:29:44 --> 01:29:45 is the feud we should have got a while
01:29:45 --> 01:29:47 back and, you know,
01:29:47 --> 01:29:48 >> Mhm.
01:29:48 --> 01:29:49 >> whatever. I I I'm not even going to
01:29:49 --> 01:29:52 bring up those, you know, that whole
01:29:52 --> 01:29:52 you know
01:29:52 --> 01:29:54 >> don't don't then don't. Then don't.
01:29:54 --> 01:29:56 >> Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. So, the last
01:29:56 --> 01:29:58 match, they haven't announced the Demon
01:29:58 --> 01:30:00 versus Gunther. Hopefully they announce
01:30:00 --> 01:30:03 that soon cuz I really need that.
01:30:03 --> 01:30:03 Um
01:30:03 --> 01:30:06 >> Can we talk about the tag team match Do
01:30:06 --> 01:30:07 we talk about that too?
01:30:07 --> 01:30:09 >> That's where I'm at. Really quickly, so
01:30:09 --> 01:30:13 I can go to bed. Um who wins?
01:30:13 --> 01:30:16 >> I think I think Penta and Jey Von get it
01:30:16 --> 01:30:19 done. I think I think again we've been
01:30:19 --> 01:30:20 talking about
01:30:20 --> 01:30:22 faction breaking up. I think this can be
01:30:22 --> 01:30:23 the part where
01:30:23 --> 01:30:25 Braun Strowman breaks away from the
01:30:25 --> 01:30:27 Vision,
01:30:27 --> 01:30:31 you know, lays out Austin lays out Braun
01:30:31 --> 01:30:33 and he goes off and does his own thing.
01:30:33 --> 01:30:36 So, I think for right now, I think Penta
01:30:36 --> 01:30:38 and Jey Von get it done.
01:30:38 --> 01:30:41 >> Division Division win
01:30:41 --> 01:30:42 You want the Judgment Day to break up.
01:30:42 --> 01:30:44 You want the Vision to break up. Clearly
01:30:44 --> 01:30:46 the company don't
01:30:46 --> 01:30:48 >> The company They are.
01:30:48 --> 01:30:49 >> None Neither one of them breaking up.
01:30:49 --> 01:30:51 Division win.
01:30:53 --> 01:30:56 >> Yeah. Yeah. Vision Vision win because
01:30:56 --> 01:30:59 like I mean I don't think you want you
01:30:59 --> 01:31:01 know Señor De Niro in the Banco like
01:31:01 --> 01:31:03 have being like having something tied up
01:31:03 --> 01:31:05 something else tied to him. It's like
01:31:05 --> 01:31:06 [snorts] letting him kind of like do his
01:31:06 --> 01:31:08 thing by himself. Him and Jey Von can be
01:31:08 --> 01:31:10 homies. They can you know have this
01:31:10 --> 01:31:11 little match whatever but I don't think
01:31:11 --> 01:31:12 you would
01:31:12 --> 01:31:14 put the belt on him.
01:31:14 --> 01:31:15 Yeah. Why put him in a
01:31:15 --> 01:31:17 Because you Because you need a fifth
01:31:17 --> 01:31:18 match. Because you need a match. You
01:31:18 --> 01:31:19 know
01:31:19 --> 01:31:21 >> Yeah, they they just need a match. It
01:31:21 --> 01:31:22 doesn't make any sense.
01:31:22 --> 01:31:23 >> Doesn't make any sense. Penta is
01:31:23 --> 01:31:25 >> and and the men don't have to wear
01:31:25 --> 01:31:26 bodysuits.
01:31:26 --> 01:31:27 >> Men don't got to wear bodysuits. You
01:31:27 --> 01:31:28 know
01:31:28 --> 01:31:30 >> Yeah, I mean like like first them fat
01:31:30 --> 01:31:32 boys break up and every day I wake up
01:31:32 --> 01:31:34 somebody's got a problem. So, now now
01:31:34 --> 01:31:35 they want the Vision in.
01:31:35 --> 01:31:37 >> Oh, better cuz I got a little cheddar my
01:31:37 --> 01:31:39 record's moving out the stove.
01:31:39 --> 01:31:41 >> the stove. But like you know
01:31:41 --> 01:31:43 I want the Judgment Day to break up.
01:31:43 --> 01:31:45 That that has to happen. Like I don't
01:31:45 --> 01:31:49 care. I can't listen to Liv on talking
01:31:49 --> 01:31:51 about that they're going to go down as
01:31:51 --> 01:31:52 the greatest faction. Then Raquel
01:31:52 --> 01:31:55 talking about you know that how the the
01:31:55 --> 01:31:57 faction is garbage. Judgment Day is
01:31:57 --> 01:31:58 trash. Trash.
01:31:58 --> 01:32:00 >> Did you see Did you see the fact that
01:32:00 --> 01:32:01 she said that they wished they had
01:32:01 --> 01:32:02 pushed to her and Carmella's little
01:32:02 --> 01:32:04 storyline a lot more?
01:32:04 --> 01:32:06 Did [snorts] you see that today? I saw
01:32:06 --> 01:32:07 that on there holy [ __ ]
01:32:07 --> 01:32:10 >> After they fired them. Before they fired
01:32:10 --> 01:32:11 them.
01:32:11 --> 01:32:12 Like come on, man.
01:32:12 --> 01:32:14 >> If you ask If you If If If you
01:32:14 --> 01:32:16 constantly asking for something for over
01:32:16 --> 01:32:17 a year, it clearly ain't going to
01:32:17 --> 01:32:19 happen.
01:32:19 --> 01:32:19 Like
01:32:19 --> 01:32:22 >> I know, Corey, but come on, man. Like
01:32:22 --> 01:32:23 listen listen. I don't care who wins
01:32:23 --> 01:32:26 this match. I really I really hope that
01:32:26 --> 01:32:28 it's not Penta and Jey Evans just
01:32:28 --> 01:32:30 because I want Penta to take the belt
01:32:30 --> 01:32:32 off Sammy. Don't waste your time with
01:32:32 --> 01:32:35 this tag title that nobody cares about.
01:32:35 --> 01:32:36 Nobody cares about it. If they were
01:32:36 --> 01:32:38 going to take the belts off of the
01:32:38 --> 01:32:40 division, there's better teams to do it
01:32:40 --> 01:32:42 than these two. I I really like Penta. I
01:32:42 --> 01:32:45 really like Jey Evans. I like the idea
01:32:45 --> 01:32:46 that they trust this kid to put him in
01:32:46 --> 01:32:49 matches anywhere he goes. So
01:32:49 --> 01:32:51 I mean that that has to be sunny because
01:32:51 --> 01:32:53 he he works and they really like this
01:32:53 --> 01:32:55 kid. And I feel like he's the one that's
01:32:55 --> 01:32:59 going to take the belt off of Ethan Page
01:32:59 --> 01:33:01 who won the IC title in a great match on
01:33:01 --> 01:33:04 Raw against Chad Gable. I feel like it's
01:33:04 --> 01:33:06 we're waiting for Jey to take it at
01:33:06 --> 01:33:07 minute. That's my take.
01:33:07 --> 01:33:09 >> Y'all Y'all know I've been talking about
01:33:09 --> 01:33:13 Ethan Page for a long time. It's like
01:33:13 --> 01:33:16 He He is the quintessential Now I know
01:33:16 --> 01:33:17 we we getting we getting in trouble when
01:33:17 --> 01:33:19 we talk about some of this but for right
01:33:19 --> 01:33:20 now he is the quintessential
01:33:20 --> 01:33:22 Intercontinental Champion. He is the
01:33:22 --> 01:33:24 type of guy who put him at the top of
01:33:24 --> 01:33:26 the mid card, let him work. He's the
01:33:26 --> 01:33:28 He's the new Miz. You know what I'm
01:33:28 --> 01:33:28 saying?
01:33:28 --> 01:33:31 >> He's the Miz. He's He's Mr. Perfect.
01:33:31 --> 01:33:33 He's our generation Mr. Perfect.
01:33:33 --> 01:33:35 >> It's like let him just let him do that.
01:33:35 --> 01:33:37 And it's like look, we want to talk
01:33:37 --> 01:33:38 about doing shows. It's like the fact
01:33:38 --> 01:33:39 that Mr. Perfect never won the the big
01:33:39 --> 01:33:41 gold that that always worked me cuz Mr.
01:33:41 --> 01:33:42 Perfect
01:33:42 --> 01:33:43 >> Yeah, we can do a whole show on
01:33:43 --> 01:33:44 when the big gold
01:33:44 --> 01:33:46 >> I bet I bet I know I know we're going to
01:33:46 --> 01:33:47 get out of here so that's why I'm going
01:33:47 --> 01:33:49 to do this cuz I know the show's pretty
01:33:49 --> 01:33:50 much over.
01:33:50 --> 01:33:52 Soon as they put Chad Gable in there
01:33:52 --> 01:33:53 with somebody the wedding Luchador, he
01:33:53 --> 01:33:57 lost the damn
01:33:57 --> 01:33:58 >> [laughter]
01:33:58 --> 01:34:00 >> He gone. He gone. Listen, have some
01:34:00 --> 01:34:02 respect for Ethan Page. Ethan Page can
01:34:02 --> 01:34:02 go.
01:34:02 --> 01:34:04 >> I told y'all I told know why you give a
01:34:04 --> 01:34:06 damn about no Chad Gable.
01:34:06 --> 01:34:09 >> [laughter]
01:34:09 --> 01:34:10 >> But you But you like every one of his
01:34:10 --> 01:34:13 [clears throat] matches, don't you?
01:34:13 --> 01:34:15 >> I love his matches. He puts on great
01:34:15 --> 01:34:16 matches.
01:34:16 --> 01:34:17 >> with that being said
01:34:17 --> 01:34:19 With that being said, thank you
01:34:19 --> 01:34:21 everybody for joining us. We cannot wait
01:34:21 --> 01:34:23 for Crown Jewel. That's all I need to
01:34:23 --> 01:34:24 hear from you, Corey. Answer the damn
01:34:24 --> 01:34:26 question. You know, I'm like a lawyer.

01:34:28 --> 01:34:30 answer the question. So
01:34:30 --> 01:34:31 >> No, it's like It's like, Corey, so you
01:34:31 --> 01:34:34 bought the beer at 11:15.
01:34:34 --> 01:34:35 >> Look, right.

01:35:06 --> 01:35:08 backstage business, talking wrestling

01:35:10 --> 01:35:11 with these guys talking about the
01:35:11 --> 01:35:13 history of wrestling. We got so many
01:35:13 --> 01:35:15 topics we can go into. I 'm sure the one
01:35:15 --> 01:35:17 that just got teased here, who didn't
01:35:17 --> 01:35:19 win the big belt, is got to be a topic
01:35:19 --> 01:35:21 for a show. We can got topics for days,
