Hello again friends! I almost
0:20
nailed it. And you are our
0:23
friends! And welcome back to another
0:25
edition of Jim Cornett's Drive through
0:27
right here on another nice day.
0:29
It is nice out, daylight savings.
0:31
Everything's going on. We have
0:33
so much to talk about. I don't even
0:36
know what to say. I don't even know
0:38
how to say it. I'm your host, The
0:40
Great Brian Last. That was the
0:42
theme to the Great Brian Last,
0:44
and that was a chuckle somewhere
0:47
deep beyond. from this man, the
0:49
leader of the Cult of Cornet,
0:51
Mr. Hollywood himself,
0:53
Jim Cornet. Well, you know, Brian,
0:55
that that noise that you just
0:58
made with your organ sounds almost
1:00
like the one that you made
1:02
last week with your with your
1:04
organ. Has your organ gotten
1:06
bigger over the last week or
1:08
so? Well, it sounds like it has
1:10
more, more, more oof to it. See,
1:13
I made the choice to go with
1:15
this instead of this. Or this. Oh
1:17
well see, so your organ, your
1:19
organ can get bigger
1:21
and fluctuate in size
1:24
is what you're saying.
1:26
Oh now it's just a teeny
1:28
little weenie. Well this
1:30
won't be a teeny weenie
1:32
show, we have a lot to
1:35
talk about, we have a big
1:37
review, a revolting or
1:39
a review of revolution
1:41
I should say. This
1:43
play of words there. You may
1:45
have been, what do they call
1:47
that, the Freudian slip? You may
1:49
have been somewhat correct there, but
1:52
nevertheless, just, we've only
1:54
did a show just a couple of
1:56
days ago and then boom, and here
1:58
we are now again doing. a show
2:00
and as you'll learn we've already
2:02
done some of this show later on
2:04
that you'll hear that we've done
2:06
before because we've done some of
2:09
the middle before we've done the
2:11
beginning in the end so we
2:13
like to do things that way if
2:15
we tie one show behind our back to
2:17
make it fair with the audience but
2:19
at the top of the program
2:21
here we've had some feedback on
2:24
on the social interwebs Brian both
2:26
you and me a chastising
2:28
us, ways that we should modify
2:31
our behavior or some
2:33
complaint about a recent
2:35
appearance or incident or whatever,
2:38
and we both, we need
2:40
to address these things. You
2:42
want me to go first with
2:44
mine or you go first with
2:46
yours? Or I'll go first and
2:48
tell them what yours is. I
2:50
have no idea where you're
2:52
going, so this is my show,
2:55
but somehow, uh, do whatever
2:57
you want. Fiddling with his
2:59
organ, folks. You already sounded
3:01
like you just want to
3:03
go sit down and play with
3:05
your organ. Ooh. Some people,
3:07
apparently out there, some
3:10
instigators, took exception to
3:12
an offhand remark that
3:15
you made on a recent program.
3:17
I think where we announced
3:19
that the total package
3:21
Lex Luger, good old
3:23
package himself, one of my
3:25
old... compadres from the
3:27
Crockett days. He's going to go
3:29
into W.W.E. Hall of Fame. And they filmed
3:32
it at DDP's house or DDP at
3:34
a video that was Lex or
3:36
what I can't remember even what
3:38
the context was. But you said,
3:40
yeah, you know, something like another
3:42
wrestler that DDP can film and
3:44
exploit that we went on with
3:47
the the thing. It was an
3:49
offhand remark. One of your crew
3:51
segment, that's what it was. That's
3:53
what it was talking to you.
3:55
Chris Cruz went on like a
3:57
god damn 10-minute social...
3:59
media tirade that Lex Lugar should
4:02
somehow be boiled in oil and
4:04
have the fat sold for soap
4:06
because of the horrible human being
4:08
that he is? And everybody just went
4:10
with that, but you say, yeah,
4:13
DDP is going to film it
4:15
and exploit it. There was an online
4:17
crusade against you. You would have
4:19
thought I kicked Mother Teresa in
4:21
the dick based on the reaction
4:23
head from people. No, you would
4:25
have thought DDP is Mother Teresa. And
4:28
secretly he's lived a double life. No,
4:30
I'm sorry some of you don't like
4:32
when realities are pointed out and
4:34
then you'll hear from people, oh, you're
4:36
so self-righteous. No, I'm not. I'm
4:39
righteous. There's a difference. I
4:41
have cosmic consciousness. Listen to me
4:43
people. He's the cosmic commander, ladies and
4:45
gentlemen. No, that was someone else. That
4:47
was Cosmo. He was a really good
4:50
Indian manager and a lead singer of
4:52
a, I don't know if I should
4:54
say fine band. But a band. But he
4:56
got over better when he was friends with
4:58
Jerry Seinfeld. What I meant to say where
5:01
I was going is, you know, if you
5:03
think back to when they did that,
5:05
Jake the Snake Roberts, they called it
5:07
a documentary, it was a fucking infomercial
5:09
for DDP yoga. I'm sorry. Every single
5:12
thing he does, if there's a camera
5:14
there, you have a little bit of
5:16
rock syndrome. And it looked... And then
5:18
people like, how could you have a
5:21
problem with him running? I don't have
5:23
a problem with him doing it, whatever
5:25
he needs to do with his business.
5:28
He obviously has done a great job.
5:30
He's rebranded three times in
5:32
10 years. He's doing a great job.
5:34
Wait a minute! Now hold on now.
5:36
I didn't want you to power more
5:38
abuse on yourself there, son. Well,
5:40
not only was it an offhand
5:43
comment that somebody lit a
5:45
little fire under somebody. to maybe
5:47
have, you know, organized a
5:49
militia over it, but also with
5:51
a bunch of other horrible things
5:54
have been said about the subject
5:56
of the clip we were talking
5:58
about, it seemed an... in an inordinate
6:00
response. Oh, he should get rid
6:02
of him. He said a bad
6:04
thing about DDP! I know it's
6:07
it was like, did we trigger
6:09
some kind of automatic? Wait a
6:11
few minutes. I'll make fun of
6:13
his facelift too. Now quit now.
6:15
Some of you. Hey. Oh, I
6:17
like the Alice better. Bring back
6:19
Alice. Really now? Now, everybody, everybody
6:21
our ages had some work done.
6:23
Nobody knows since I've been off.
6:25
I've had my tank tucked. There
6:27
was a bit of droopage going
6:29
on. But no, and in all
6:31
honesty, in all honesty, I know
6:33
Page, and he, the positively Page
6:35
thing is a gimmick because it's
6:37
not a gimmick. That's his gimmick
6:39
because it's his gimmick because it's
6:41
his gimmick because it's his gimmick
6:43
because it's his gimmick because it's
6:45
his gimmick because it's his gimmick
6:47
because it's his gimmick because it's
6:49
his gimmick because it's his gimmick
6:51
because it's his gimmick because it's
6:53
him because it's him because it's
6:55
him because it's him because it's

him because it's him because it's
7:14
him because it's him because it's
7:16
him because it's him because it's
7:18
He's so positive about everything and
7:20
he's got the energy. I don't
7:22
know how the fuck that he
7:24
has the energy and I don't
7:26
know how the fuck with that
7:28
he deals with the god damn
7:30
personalities that he deals with it
7:32
can't just be for money because
7:34
I would turn to crime before
7:36
I would fucking deal with the
7:38
personalities had to deal with I
7:40
agree. I'm not saying it's just
7:42
for money and I'm not saying
7:44
he's not really nice guy. He
7:46
is a wonderful promoter having said
7:48
that that is constantly thinking of
7:50
new and different ways to promote
7:52
his positivity. Respect my positivity. Yeah,
7:54
it's one thing him working with
7:56
a wrestler and helping them get
7:58
their life back on track one
8:00
way or another and then you
8:02
don't hear about it until it's
8:04
done. It's another thing when all
8:06
of a sudden there's a camera
8:08
there. Like, you know, hey, Lex,
8:10
you're down and out. Can I
8:12
film this? It'll inspire people to
8:14
see you sitting there. Look, I'm
8:16
sorry that people were offended by
8:18
it. Sorry people were offended by
8:21
jokes every now and then. But
8:23
also looking, you know. look at
8:25
the reality of it. I'm not
8:27
saying Dallas Page isn't a nice
8:29
guy for helping some of these
8:31
guys out, but I'm also saying
8:33
some of it may be engineered
8:35
to help out himself too. Thank
8:37
you. And I'm telling you what,
8:39
and you know, all they need
8:41
to do to get into the
8:43
crib there is just fill out
8:45
that form for that life insurance
8:47
policy, and it's just a minor
8:49
signature on some forms, but no.
8:51
Jim needs a co-host that can
8:53
talk about yoga. He doesn't know
8:55
what he's talking about. Eat me.
8:57
Eat me? I already have a
8:59
host and can tell. You're a
9:01
big baseball fan. You know all
9:03
about yoga barra. Yoga barra. Isn't
9:05
he the one who said I
9:07
never met a man I didn't
9:09
like, but if I do? It's
9:11
Deja vu all over again? He
9:13
said it's Deja vu all over
9:15
again. There's a lot of quotes
9:17
that are attributed to Yogi Barra
9:19
that he actually didn't say, but
9:21
he kind of ran with it
9:23
once the media said that he
9:25
did. I mean, he was actually
9:28
a really smart guy for someone
9:30
whose like reputation was he was
9:32
kind of like, this Neanderthal who
9:34
just said funny things. He was
9:36
a really bright guy. He had
9:38
you, who, obviously, he's a business.
9:40
He lost the lawsuit, I believe.
9:42
Because a yogi bear which is
9:44
a clear bear a clear rip
9:46
off of yogi bear But I
9:48
don't think he won because he
9:50
didn't have a teammate named Bubu
9:52
So that hurt him in the
9:54
case Back to you Jim. Back
9:56
to me. Well, anyway, speaking of
9:58
whatever you said Neanderthal looking people
10:00
that say funny things I am
10:02
potentially taking a trip This this
10:04
summer have I have I told
10:06
you I may have told you
10:08
that this was dangled in front
10:10
of me But um and that's
10:12
it that's one of the things
10:14
that I'm gonna address about People
10:16
have been misunderstanding me on the
10:18
social media. I've seen the comments
10:20
because since we put up the
10:22
footage from the Queen of the
10:24
Ring premiere where I was obviously
10:26
looking wonderful and they're ready to
10:28
be you know to accept at
10:30
least my nomination for an Academy
10:32
Award for Queen of the Ring
10:34
which is right out right now
10:37
out right now in theaters and
10:39
potentially drive-ins near you. I'd see
10:41
it at a drive-in. Under the
10:43
stars, it's so much more like
10:45
a period piece. But anyway, we
10:47
put that video up on official
10:49
Jim Cordet on the YouTube, folks,
10:51
if you haven't checked it out.
10:53
And everybody says, well, look Jim
10:55
left his house. He's there. He
10:57
left his... I leave my house
10:59
all the time. I just don't
11:01
go anywhere to work so I
11:03
don't advertise it. Brian should I'm...
11:05
Should I advertise Thursday morning? I
11:07
got to go back Kroger and
11:09
get some gas and pick up
11:11
some extra sprite zero and then
11:13
drop off my dry cleaning So
11:15
if anyone wants autographs start in
11:17
the meat aisle and then work
11:19
your way around produce Yeah, starting
11:21
the meat aisle work your way
11:23
around produce straight to the fucking
11:25
chocolate Okay, you could if you
11:27
can imagine that trip And that's
11:29
the thing, that's the thing, I'm
11:31
leaving the house all the time.
11:33
We've been helping me in-laws, well,
11:35
they're not her in-laws, they're my
11:37
in-laws, and they're her laws, I
11:39
guess. Stacey's mom and stepfather, well,
11:41
he's a law of a different
11:44
law. But this is all interconnected,
11:46
folks, in some fashion. We've been
11:48
helping them move in, etc. etc.
11:50
etc. So I'm back, I just
11:52
don't have public appearances where people
11:54
are public appearances where people are
11:56
hearing that I'm leaving the house.
11:58
So I want to rectify that
12:00
mis-conscription right now, but I've been
12:02
invited to the Jack Feffer collection
12:04
at the universe. of Notre Dame
12:06
in up there in South Bend,
12:08
Indiana. And thankfully, they had that
12:10
big fire at Notre Dame. None
12:12
of the Feffer collection was damaged.
12:14
And I've been invited by none
12:16
other than the O.G., as the
12:18
kids say, of the historians. That
12:20
means he's old and... I don't
12:22
know what the G stands for,
12:24
but he was around when this
12:26
was not a popular thing. Wrestling
12:28
historians, Tom Burke is going to
12:30
be taking a trip and has
12:32
invited me because now I got
12:34
a guide, Brian. Because if I'd
12:36
go up, I've always wanted to
12:38
see this shit. But at the
12:40
same time, if I went up
12:42
there without somebody who's been there
12:44
before and because it's apparently an
12:46
amazing amount of stuff. And it
12:48
takes days and days, it would
12:51
take weeks and weeks if you
12:53
just saw every little thing. I
12:55
need somebody to, I'd be whistling
12:57
a stranger in paradise as the
12:59
cowboy used to say. I wouldn't
13:01
know whether to wind my ass
13:03
or scratch my watch. So now
13:05
Tom Burke himself, the illegitimate son
13:07
of Mildred Burke, has him, I'm
13:09
not going to reveal the dates
13:11
because now that I am a
13:13
movie star. You know, in Queen
13:15
of the Ring, in theaters near
13:17
you, I don't want to, you
13:19
know, tell people exactly when I
13:21
be there, because I'm afraid that
13:23
the campus would be mobbed or
13:25
wherever this library is housed, there
13:27
would be people outside waiting to
13:29
get, you know, autographs and pictures
13:31
and swoon over me. So I'm
13:33
going to keep that part quiet,
13:35
but I got to work out
13:37
with you when we're going to
13:39
be recording these fine festivities at
13:41
that particular time, so I can
13:43
take a couple days off. Grandpa
13:45
needs a couple of days off,
13:47
but that'll be fun. I'll report
13:49
back. I might even do a
13:51
field report. Boy, that's how Burke's
13:53
a smart guy. He said, which
13:55
sucker do I know with a
13:58
car who will pick me? up
14:00
and take me. And I'm not going
14:02
to, no, I'm not going to
14:04
fucking Massachusetts and I'm meeting him
14:06
in Notre Dame, Indiana is where
14:08
I'm meeting him. I'm not going
14:10
to fucking Massachusetts and pick him
14:12
up and carry him out down
14:14
there and then take him back.
14:16
You'll see, you're gonna end up,
14:19
hey, can you give me a
14:21
lift to the train station? Can
14:23
you give me a lift to
14:25
a little further down the next
14:27
thing you know you're in Massachusetts?
14:29
He can come with me to
14:32
Indianapolis. That's on my way back home
14:34
But I will buy him a subway sandwich
14:36
and give him a hardy hand
14:38
class for the invitation while I'm there
14:40
Well, what a gift who could say
14:42
no to that Well, you know, I
14:44
want to be fair about these things.
14:46
Somebody's going to spend a couple of
14:48
days of their life. You know showing
14:51
me around something at least I'm going
14:53
to do is reward them for their
14:55
efforts I wouldn't do it
14:57
for everybody, but I've known Tom
14:59
for 50 years. Every time he pulls
15:02
out his camera. Well, there you
15:04
go. I'm going to have him
15:06
take pictures of me and all
15:08
of the things that Jack Feffer
15:10
once touched. Once, once, once, once,
15:12
once, once, once touched, is what
15:14
I'm trying to say. And
15:16
his aura and his essence
15:18
and his mustard stains and baloney
15:21
grease will be on these things as
15:23
I cling them to my bosom.
15:25
I have some of his stuff.
15:27
I wish someone would like take
15:29
his handwriting and make a font that
15:32
you could type with. Like there's
15:34
rock letters he had? I just
15:36
want to be able to type
15:38
in that. It looks like somebody
15:40
trying to write some kind of
15:42
statement on a cell wall. But the
15:45
FFER trip, yes, I'll be doing that
15:47
and more on that to come this
15:49
summer. And also, I've received
15:51
criticism, Brian. It is
15:54
somewhat... Somewhat legitimate, but
15:56
at the same time I believe
15:58
a little unwarranted. And
16:00
I will try to explain,
16:02
when they saw the clips
16:04
from the Queen of the
16:06
Ring premiere, I had a
16:08
number of people tweet me
16:10
or comment on that my
16:12
suit was too big. And
16:14
more specifically, because you really
16:16
weren't looking at my pants
16:18
in most of these things,
16:20
my jacket was a little
16:22
bit, I admit my jacket
16:24
was a little big because
16:27
think about this Brian. The
16:29
last time that I bought store-bought
16:31
clothes, now the last time I
16:34
bought dress clothes, the last time
16:36
that I even wore dress clothes.
16:38
It's been five years now. The
16:41
times that I've worn dress clothes
16:43
have been when Dark Side of
16:45
the Rings shows up to tape
16:48
something when I went to the
16:50
world premiere of a movie and
16:52
I get when we took Stacey's
16:54
mother to a birthday dinner a
16:57
couple years a couple years ago.
16:59
is when I've actually worn a
17:01
shirt with a collar and or
17:04
a jacket and or a tie
17:06
and or any type of legitimate
17:08
human apparel. The rest of the
17:11
time I'm in a t-shirt, a
17:13
sweatshirt, sweatpants. So since the last
17:15
time that I bought the actual
17:18
clothing that human beings are supposed
17:20
to own, I was probably about
17:22
20 or 25 pounds heavier. Then
17:25
I have been for the past few years, but
17:27
I That jacket's been worn about 10 times and
17:29
it was the smallest one I had so I
17:31
thought I'd get by with it I like a
17:33
little room also Just so you know, is there
17:35
anything wrong with that? I thought it looked good.
17:37
It was kind of the look it makes you
17:39
look like a bigger geek when I have like
17:42
a bigger jacket and like your head just sticks
17:44
straight up out of it Wait, why do I
17:46
want what do you look like a bigger geek?
17:48
That's your whole gimmick, isn't your whole gimmick, isn't
17:50
it? Well, I wasn't trying
17:52
to do my I was trying
17:54
to be my real person there.
17:56
Oh, I mean it makes you
17:58
look it makes you look distinguished
18:00
Uh-huh. If you have like, you
18:02
know, the distinguished geese. It was
18:04
the gray. It should be a
18:06
line of clothing. It was, it
18:08
was the color, it was the
18:10
gray. It was good on you.
18:12
Well, I wanted it to match
18:14
my hair. I think black would
18:16
have been, you wore black a
18:18
lot in ovew, I guess. Did
18:20
I ever see you wear black?
18:22
Maybe a few times in the
18:24
80s, but I don't remember, any
18:26
time in the 90s, were you
18:28
wore black. sports jacket that I
18:30
would wear with a bright red
18:33
shirt and the black tie with
18:35
the black pants and the red
18:37
shoes sometimes and the blah blah.
18:39
I mean there was a way
18:41
to work it in. But OVW
18:43
you were all out of black?
18:45
Well no actually no some of
18:47
them were black and some of
18:49
them were navy blue and some
18:51
of them may have even been
18:53
a dark gray but because of
18:55
the quality of our television production
18:57
you could really tell a difference.
18:59
But there was a lot of
19:01
different shades in there that just
19:03
kind of blended in as one.
19:05
But anyway, so I apologize for
19:07
being a little baggy around the
19:09
the the jacket area, but that's
19:11
why I did wasn't. I just
19:13
didn't have time to go and
19:15
buy a new jacket for the
19:17
premiere. So would you rather have
19:19
seen me jacket off? Like I
19:21
said, I just had a shirt
19:23
and a tie. I thought you
19:25
look good. All right, well, see.
19:27
That's what you're supposed to say,
19:29
if you want me to do
19:31
the rest of this program with
19:33
you. Your acting was good? I
19:35
don't know about some of the
19:37
other people he acted with in
19:39
some of those skits, but your
19:41
acting was good? Well, basically, you
19:43
know, I was just trying to
19:45
find some, drum up some support
19:47
if the Oscar, and... I was
19:49
rebuffed in a couple of cases,
19:51
but that was just a, that
19:53
was an anomaly. It's what the
19:55
anomaly for, look that one up,
19:57
it's not used enough. What
20:00
are you laughing at? I don't
20:02
know why, but you talking about
20:04
the premiere made me think of
20:06
that girl again at the Revolution
20:08
Paperview. We're going to talk about
20:10
later. How confident she was. I
20:13
have something to say, and I'm
20:15
going to say, expose the business
20:17
more than any Mansfield right now.
20:19
This is going to be the
20:21
most profound thing that I've ever
20:23
said in public. I've worked shop
20:25
this. I've thought about this. And
20:27
to the one audience, that it
20:30
fell like a turn to punch
20:32
bowl. See, was Ash trying to
20:34
go back into correct her? Like,
20:36
what she meant to say, we
20:38
never will find out what Ash
20:40
was going to say there, but
20:42
she was so confident. She was
20:44
just so confident saying that. Well,
20:47
I don't know whether it was
20:49
that or whether he was going
20:51
to try to finish saying what
20:53
he had started saying and then
20:55
got lost because of the fact
20:57
that Tony was ignoring the other
20:59
two ladies who... were obviously supposed
21:01
to be part of this that
21:04
it was it was a you
21:06
know what mama cornet used to
21:08
say poor pre-planning leads to piss
21:10
poor performance did she really say
21:12
that that's and that that pretty
21:14
much sums it up just clap
21:16
your hands and dust them off
21:18
and you're done poor pre-planning leads
21:21
to piss poor performance All
21:23
right, well, this is the drive-through
21:25
and of course So what do
21:27
you got planned? Well what I
21:30
got planned to do before we
21:32
get going with any of the
21:34

22:31
other day while he was talking
22:33
about helping set up the audio
22:35
here. He didn't invent the god
22:37
damn thing. No, he did. No,
22:39
I remember he was over here
22:42
helping set up this new fakkata
22:44
audio situation we got, a situation
22:46
we got going on. And you
22:48
were talking to him and he
22:50
had the headset, this vice-like headset.
22:52
And he said, see, there's another
22:55
thing I've admitted. You said, yeah,
22:57
right, you agreed with him. You
23:00
don't remember what was it he
23:02
invented then? I'm trying to think
23:04
of what it was. I think
23:06
that's when he said this old
23:08
guy thinks I keep inventing stuff
23:10
and I said yeah you're right.
23:12
No no no no no he
23:14
said that's another thing that I've
23:16
invented and you you because he
23:18
said it in such an entertaining
23:20
way you laughed and then you
23:22
said yeah right see you agreed
23:24
with him. Well get more. Humor

23:38
in Ontario promo code JCE. Jim,
23:40
let's move on from here. Of
23:42
course, we have to talk about
23:44
revolution, but why don't we first
23:46
talk about a few segments from
23:48
Smackdown? Because like most weeks, the
23:50
matches don't matter. But the segments
23:52
where people talk to each other
23:54
is where things happen, and there
23:56
were a few things here that
23:58
everyone wanted to hear what you
24:00
thought of. Well, these are the
24:02
furtherings of the issues that we
24:04
are all concerned with in today's
24:06
modern world. And that's the thing. We're
24:08
going to be heavy with the
24:11
opposition promotion because of
24:13
the pay-per-view extravagance.
24:15
So we want to make sure
24:18
that we get a little WWE
24:20
representation in here because we don't
24:22
want people to lose track of
24:24
who's mad at who and why. But
24:27
since over the past, what... Three
24:29
and a half days between
24:31
Smackdown at three hours and
24:33
Raw at two and a half hours of
24:36
program content time, depending
24:38
on whether you watch
24:40
it with commercials or not,
24:42
if we try to get minute
24:44
with this thing, we'll all be
24:47
here till Thursday. And nobody
24:49
wants that. However, again
24:51
on Smackdown, they're
24:53
in Philadelphia. It's sold
24:56
out. There's 16,728 people.
24:59
Who says live theater
25:01
is dead? That's what
25:04
they're coming to see. There's
25:07
a commercial right now
25:09
that's playing during the
25:11
programs. They're bringing
25:14
raw to Louisville
25:16
in May, May 11th or
25:18
12th, there's one date
25:21
or another. It just
25:23
has... highlights and not
25:25
even a voiceover. Really as
25:27
much as a couple of
25:29
statements uttered. Roar is coming
25:31
and in the music in
25:34
the highlights. Hey Louisville get
25:36
ready and in the music
25:38
and they're not advertising.
25:41
There is talent that pops
25:43
up and says get ready or
25:45
we're coming or whatever. But
25:48
nobody promises to be
25:50
there. They're not telling you
25:52
shit. They're not promoting
25:55
a match. I assume it's the same
25:57
way in... I haven't watched village...
26:00
of local television to
26:02
see if they've got commercials saying
26:04
don't miss the big fucking showdown
26:06
between Tzawa and Chad Gable,
26:09
whatever the fuck, but they're just
26:11
coming to see the big stars
26:13
talk to each other and just
26:15
the spectacle of the program at
26:17
this point, or that because they
26:19
don't even know what they're
26:21
gonna fucking see. This is
26:24
ridiculous is what I'm saying to you.
26:26
I think for the most part depending
26:28
on the show you have a general
26:30
idea who will likely be there. Now
26:32
sometimes someone's not there until the next week.
26:34
There are certain people like the Rock
26:36
Ancena who you know aren't on a
26:39
normal schedule, even Roman rains. But
26:41
if he was going to show up anywhere, it
26:43
would be Smackdown typically until recently.
26:45
Until a wild card bitch is
26:48
all of a sudden. The good is bad and
26:50
the bad is good and the up is down.
26:52
Obviously they're the hottest they've been.
26:54
And... You know, it's interesting because
26:57
they're finally able to do what
26:59
Vince always really wanted, which is
27:01
to kind of just ride the
27:03
brand and succeed with that. They're
27:05
doing that now. But they also happen
27:07
to have a bunch of big stars who
27:09
are over. But more than ever before,
27:11
the brand, W-W-E, and I guess you could
27:14
even say raw in Smackdown, coming to
27:16
town, you kind of know what to
27:18
expect and you kind of want to go
27:20
for the ride. I would assume if you're
27:22
one of these fans. And remember we
27:25
were, some recent past shows criticize
27:27
a guy, we know what's going
27:29
to happen, the guy comes out
27:31
and cuts the promo, and then
27:33
the other guy comes out, and then
27:35
they get in a fight and they make a
27:37
match. Well now they've changed that
27:39
up, a guy just comes out
27:41
and fucking talks and leaves. And
27:44
the people are happy about it.
27:46
It's, they don't even need to
27:48
get in a fight right on
27:50
it. It's Randy Orton. Randy Orton.
27:52
He got a big entrance, he's
27:54
over, he got a big response,
27:57
and all he had to do was
27:59
mention... John seen his name and
28:01
they started booing. And Orton, you
28:04
know, he spends 10 minutes out
28:06
there saying, he did a great
28:09
delivery. And he sounded like he
28:11
was sincere and meant everything. But
28:13
if he'd had a, you know,
28:16
timer on him, said, we're gonna
28:18
blow the ring up if you
28:20
can't say everything you've got to
28:23
say in two minutes, he could
28:25
have done that. But he stretched
28:27
out about 10. And he said,
28:30
hey, he's always. been on top,
28:32
but now he's just a bottom
28:35
for rock. Oh, a rock bottom.
28:37
And then he knocked Owens. So
28:39
we both done vile things, always
28:42
in the name of business, but
28:44
I respect you as a wrestler,
28:46
but I got a problem with
28:49
you as a man because you're
28:51
filled with jealousy. And then he,
28:54
it, it, again, he went into
28:56
a lot of history with Owens
28:58
and Zane that could or could
29:01
not have been said if you
29:03
were short on time. And he's
29:05
going to prove that McAfee is
29:08
the only, only the second greatest
29:10
punter in the W.E. And he
29:12
played his music and he left
29:15
and the people were happy. We
29:17
got to see Randy talk to
29:20
us. So I know it's not
29:22
the... Well, I kind of pretty
29:24
much almost is now again, the
29:27
numbers, maybe not consistently, but the
29:29
numbers of the attitude era in
29:31
the buildings and on... It's definitely
29:34
not on television, but they don't,
29:36
even then you had to advertise
29:39
Stone Coal Steve Austin versus Fuggan
29:41
Undertaker or whatever to sell the
29:43
place out instead of promos from
29:46
so-and-so, you see what I'm saying.
29:48
Yeah. And again, people come to
29:50
react to what is said. Sometimes
29:53
just chanting what but in this
29:55
case the reaction and it's happening
29:57
everywhere anytime he's mentioned, the reaction
30:00
to SINA I thought was the
30:02
biggest thing that I took away
30:05
from this. And we, I mean,
30:07
because there, and I have to
30:09
think part of it is the
30:12
people most offended there are the,
30:14
are the, again, the most loyal
30:16
W. W. E. fans that, that
30:19
kind of sense that even if
30:21
they're not smart and living on
30:24
the internet in that respect, they
30:26
kind of sense that Rock and
30:28
Sina have come in and disrupted
30:31
their fucking ride they were taking
30:33
here and they're not, what the
30:35
fuck is going on? So it
30:38
wasn't as hard for them to
30:40
turn John Sina heel as one
30:42
would think. And a lot of
30:45
it is it's a newer audience.
30:47
Because they got more of them
30:50
than they did 10 years ago,
30:52
so they gotta be newer. You're
30:54
looking forward to Owens versus Randy?
30:57
You know I think it's going
30:59
to be good because Owens is
31:01
not going to we're not going
31:04
to see the level of furniture
31:06
and foolery with Owens and Orton
31:09
that we did with Owens and
31:11
Zane. So having said that I
31:13
think Randy will probably concentrate on
31:16
on making his big ass work
31:18
in the in and around the
31:20
ring area right and leave the
31:23
furniture to a minimum. I'm sure
31:25
there'll be some. But
31:29
hopefully they will
31:31
go in that
31:33
direction. I'd be
31:35
surprised if they
31:37
don't. Well, that
31:40
was talking segment
31:42
one on Smackdown.
31:44
Well, then we
31:46
came to the
31:48
9 o'clock hour
31:50
and we got
31:53
the emotional explanation,
31:55
exposition, confrontation, Between
31:57
Bianca Billa. Well, Bianca. Belair
31:59
came out for an in-ring
32:01
promo and obviously had to
32:04
be all emotional and call
32:06
her her friend Naomi out
32:08
but she gave the preamble
32:10
her her friends are fighting
32:12
and I've formed a bond
32:14
with both women and I
32:16
don't believe Naomi would do
32:18
this but neither one Naomi
32:20
nor Jade either one is
32:22
texting me back. So I
32:24
need Naomi to come out
32:26
and give her answers in
32:28
America. Okay, she doesn't want
32:30
to text you, but she'll
32:32
walk out here on national
32:34
fucking television and talk to
32:36
you about it in public.
32:38
At least in the old
32:40
days before these newfangled cell
32:42
phones, you could believe that
32:44
somebody wouldn't have talked to
32:46
somebody else for a fucking
32:48
week. I am talking some
32:50
people for fucking longer than
32:52
that, even with cell phones.
32:56
But she called Naomi out
32:58
and Naomi comes out in
33:00
a silver sequin neck brace
33:02
and bruiser broody boots. And
33:05
she looked the epitome of
33:07
sympathy with boo-boo face on.
33:09
And so Bianca is, you
33:11
know, I've called you here,
33:14
I've talked to you here,
33:16
and she's like, no, no,
33:18
this is what it looks
33:20
like. And Bianca
33:23
says, did you attack
33:25
Jade? And Naomi says,
33:27
all this is a
33:30
distraction. We got to
33:32
focus on WrestleMania. And
33:34
Bianca's like, did you
33:36
attack Jade? In Naomi's
33:39
like, Jade, Jade, Marsha,
33:41
Marsha, she's been piggy
33:43
backing off your excellence
33:45
or an experience. And
33:48
I was left off
33:50
to the side. Naomi
33:53
worked up some tears
33:55
over this. This may
33:58
have been there. their
34:01
audition to the Strasbourg
34:03
Institute. Brian, you think,
34:05
you know, with an
34:07
emotional Queen of the
34:10
Ring too? There you
34:12
go. An emotional performance
34:14
like this, they're gonna
34:16
be, maybe I ought
34:18
to start agenting them
34:21
now that I have
34:23
Hollywood connections. So Naomi
34:25
is crying now, and
34:27
she's like, I don't
34:29
give a damn about
34:32
Jade, because she didn't
34:34
give a damn about
34:36
you. Yeah, I was
34:38
left off to the
34:40
side while she was
34:43
piggybacking on you. Hopefully
34:45
piggybacking on you or
34:47
whatever doesn't have a
34:49
different connotation with the
34:51
young folks these days
34:54
than what I think
34:56
it does or else
34:58
I've just uttered some
35:00
type of horrible farm
35:02
obscenity. And then both
35:05
of them start talking
35:07
over each and nadered
35:09
with him. And finally
35:11
Bianca says, stop! Did
35:13
you attack Jade? Yes
35:16
or no? and Neomi,
35:18
Neomi, Neomi and Neanka,
35:20
Neomi tearfully milks it
35:22
and cries and says,
35:24
I did it! I
35:27
did it! And the
35:29
people boo! And the
35:31
fucking... I like it
35:33
with emotion is shown
35:35
in professional wrestling, but
35:38
I'm not sure that
35:40
I need to see
35:42
two. Young ladies recreate
35:44
a scene from a
35:46
lifetime movie of some
35:49
description, but then Naomi's
35:51
like, I did it
35:53
for you. And now
35:55
Bianca's crying too. Maybe
35:57
they got onions and
36:00
rubbed them underneath their
36:02
fucking, or some Vix
36:04
vapor rub. And it's
36:06
Dr. Phil here, where
36:08
Bianca's at me and
36:11
you were done. Naomi
36:13
said, because of her?
36:15
I did it for
36:17
you. I did it
36:19
all for you! And
36:22
Bianca walks in. And
36:24
then Bianca stopped. And
36:26
slowly she turned around
36:28
and looked. And
36:30
it's right as this, by an
36:33
amazing coincidence of timing. Right as
36:35
this emotional scene has taken place
36:37
and they've got the over-the-shoulder shot
36:39
of Bianca and the Titan screen
36:42
tron, whatever they're calling it these
36:44
days. On the screen, Jade pulls
36:46
up in the big fancy, fancy
36:48
Dan automobile. and jumps out, well
36:51
then jump out, but it gets
36:53
out and walks in with purpose
36:55
and passes right by Bianca and
36:57
goes to the ring and just
36:59
beats Naomi like just walks a
37:02
dog all over the top of
37:04
Naomi and hits her finish boom
37:06
and leaves her flattened there and
37:08
they play Jade's music. And there
37:11
we have it. So the first
37:13
two went out and cried over
37:15
each other for about ten minutes.
37:17
And then Jade came in and
37:20
just beat the shit out of
37:22
Neomi, and Nion Neomi, and Bianca,
37:24
Bianca didn't give a shit. Well,
37:26
she didn't do anything about it.
37:29
I hate it when these poor
37:31
young ladies just become all sideways
37:33
with each other. I thought a
37:35
few times here, you know, what
37:37
if this ends up being like
37:40
a double switch where, well, I
37:42
don't know if that's even proper
37:44
term, where Bianca also turns, it
37:46
was an idea to somehow get
37:49
Jade. But they didn't even do
37:51
that because Bianca and... Naomi both
37:53
wore black, Jade came out in
37:55
white. You know, I just, I
37:58
was trying to think, and you
38:00
know, I thought I was dressed
38:02
like she was in mourning. Yeah,
38:04
but you are, you are trying
38:07
to impart some kind. It's all
38:09
coinked ink, Brian. It's all total
38:11
coinked ink. When these women's colors
38:13
mirror some type of foreshadowing of
38:15
a turn or whatever, they're just
38:18
wearing whatever they look fashionable in.
38:20
Yeah, you made it. And you're
38:22
reading some kind of deep thought
38:24
that their wells are not that
38:27
deep, that they're going to be
38:29
tying all of these emotions to
38:31
the color of their wardrobe at
38:33
this point. I'm sorry to say.
38:36
But I actually like this segment.
38:38
And yeah, it went a while.
38:40
And yeah, it was emotional. But
38:42
it was a different kind of
38:45
thing than we usually see. It
38:47
was very emotional. They were both
38:49
crying as their friendship dissolved. Normally
38:51
it's the men's roster and AEW
38:53
that goes out and cries. I
38:56
was surprised that Jade for the
38:58
second time just came out and
39:00
kicked the shit out of Naomi
39:02
and that was it. Like that
39:05
was it. That was the end
39:07
of the set. I'm going to
39:09
kick the shit out of her
39:11
and that's it. Let's go to
39:14
the next thing. That's two times
39:16
in a row. I mean, are
39:18
they going to do a match
39:20
after she kicked the shit out
39:23
of her twice? I think that
39:25
the... I don't think that Bianca
39:27
is going to switch heel. I'm
39:29
pretty sure Jane, Jade, Jade, which
39:31
is a real name now, God
39:34
damn my faith myself. Jade, Jade
39:36
probably is of some description because
39:38
she's being awful fucking violent about
39:40
this, but Naomi is, but I,
39:43
she would be a heel based
39:45
on. You know, having
39:47
been the one to orchestrate this,
39:49
but I don't really know where
39:52
they're going, but I'm thinking that
39:54
Bianca is not going to be
39:56
a heel. And maybe what they've
39:58
done... with this
40:00
thing with her and Ria
40:03
Ripley and Eo Sky is
40:05
just had Eo take the
40:07
belt off of Ria for
40:09
this WrestleMania thing so that
40:12
they can in some way
40:14
or another potentially have the
40:16
the jealous Naomi take Bianca
40:18
out of it and Ria
40:21
wins it back or potentially
40:23
Jade somehow comes and gets
40:25
involved and gets involved and
40:27
gets involved and Hopefully Rhea
40:30
gets it back, cost Bianca?
40:32
I don't know what the
40:34
fuck is going on here.
40:36
But you, when we get
40:39
to raw, you'll hear, when
40:41
we talk about that, the
40:43
reaction that Rhea gets, compared
40:45
to even Bianca, but definitely
40:48
Rhea and Bianca compared to
40:50
Eo in Madison Square Garden,
40:52
was like, they're like, yeah.
40:54
Should they liked her when
40:57
she fired up, but I
40:59
mean this the women's world
41:01
title They need to do
41:03
something here with Bianca and
41:06
Jade and Ria I Don't
41:08
know why Eos involved in
41:10
this right now except to
41:12
be a temporary distraction. You
41:15
see where I'm going with
41:17
this? But am I getting
41:19
ahead of us? I? We'll
41:21
see how ahead of us
41:24
You get but that was
41:26
talking segment two on Smackdown.
41:28
Yes, and talking segment three
41:30
was Cody With his fucking
41:33
black eye. Holy shit. Well,
41:35
it wasn't even a black
41:37
eye Just you know the
41:39
the traditional black under the
41:42
eye above the cheek it
41:44
was a giant Swelling and
41:46
purple and red and the
41:48
shit spread over to the
41:51
cheek and Whether somebody
41:53
has a busted eardrum is not
41:55
visible or not but one can
41:58
see if that was... the heel
42:00
of this goofball's hand that hit
42:02
his cheekbone that the the the
42:04
cup of it the part that
42:07
cups the air and pops your
42:09
eardrum would have been right about
42:11
in the exact right place so
42:13
this fucking Travis Scott did did
42:16
he realize whatever the fuck it
42:18
is that he's in the music
42:20
business I understand did he realize
42:22
that he was turning Heel that
42:25
people were going to boo the
42:27
mention of his name and large
42:29
numbers and sold out arenas When
42:31
when he agreed to do this
42:34
thing or did they just say
42:36
Travis go out there with us?
42:38
Did he realize what he was
42:41
getting into? Oh, I think he's
42:43
better popular as crotch rot right
42:45
now I think he had to.
42:47
There's no way he is a
42:50
wrestling fan or wouldn't have known
42:52
that But it's not like that
42:54
he's going to make money off
42:56
of this, like the wrestling fans
42:59
are going, oh, we got to
43:01
go buy Travis Scott records now.
43:03
But I guess, does anybody buy
43:05
Travis Scott records? Are there records
43:08
anymore? How do people purchase? Maybe
43:10
they don't buy music. That's why
43:12
it sucks so bad. But what's
43:15
the deal on that, Brian? Most
43:17
people stream it now? And, you
43:19
know, some still buy it and
43:21
physical units is obviously a pretty
43:24
small market, but really recording artists
43:26
make their money through touring more
43:28
than ever before. Well, much, much
43:30
more than ever before. Well, hopefully
43:33
he'll be on a long worldwide
43:35
tour, old Travis. But anyhow, Cody
43:37
Rhodes is the, do you hear
43:39
the dusty inflections in this one
43:42
and in the one he does
43:44
on raw? The
43:46
inflections are dusty. It's amazing
43:49
Yeah, and I heard dusty
43:51
when Travis Scott slapped him.
43:53
I heard don't do shit.
43:55
You don't know how to
43:58
do Don't
44:00
do shit you don't know
44:02
how to do But if
44:05
he you know he promotes
44:07
Sina and He the question
44:09
is John why you'll probably
44:12
have a pretty well-crafted slick
44:14
answer, but there's no justification
44:16
baby I'm just telling you
44:19
it's amazing. You can hear
44:21
he's a well-spoken articulate Dusty
44:23
and the ebb and flow
44:26
in the cadence and the
44:28
rising of the tempo and
44:30
etc. And his dad was
44:33
afraid to perform in Philadelphia
44:35
because they were the first
44:37
ones. They had to paint
44:40
his face with the road
44:42
like the road warriors. So
44:44
they knew he was cool.
44:47
Because that's when Dusty started
44:49
doing the fucking deal where
44:51
him and the road wars
44:54
in Philadelphia to combat the
44:56
smart fans heckling him. But
44:59
then he said Philadelphia supported
45:01
and cheered for Cody and
45:03
they chose him And he
45:06
did a fired up promo
45:08
about John Sina and it
45:10
made you want to fucking
45:13
see this thing And that
45:15
is exactly what the fucking
45:18
champion needs to be doing
45:20
on TV and I can't
45:22
even try to paraphrase it
45:25
because it was Long and
45:27
verbose, but it I thought
45:29
it was great and he
45:32
finished up was John Cena
45:34
Clearly you want some we'll
45:36
come and get some and
45:39
everybody cheers and they love
45:41
him And there's how many
45:43
people did we say there
45:46
was 16,728 people and oh
45:48
we got to see Cody
45:50
talk? They that's all they
45:53
need to do now Good
45:55
promo, but anyway And then
45:58
I would it be. Just
46:00
as a footnote, let's refer to it.
46:02
Thankfully, LA Knight won the US title
46:04
back from Shaky Nakamura. Were you going
46:06
to say hey on something else? Yeah,
46:08
just one other thing. I will say
46:10
a positive about all this rock stuff
46:13
the last couple years. On promos, I
46:15
think it's helped Cody Rhodes finally
46:17
really come into his own. He's had
46:19
moments where you could do good
46:21
promos and get fired up, but it seems
46:23
like it's coming from a real place
46:26
more now than ever before and that
46:28
helps. Yes, and the
46:30
five bonus within it, and
46:32
you know what? And he
46:34
was talking about, I
46:36
guess he, was he talking
46:39
about Cody, what year would
46:41
this event? He was
46:43
talking about Cody. When
46:45
Dusty said, when I lay my
46:48
baby down on my chest, do
46:50
you know what he hears? The
46:52
hot beat of America.
46:55
Would that have been Cody?
46:57
About 38, 39 years ago.
46:59
Well, anyway. Yeah, it would
47:01
have been Cody, I guess.
47:04
And then I came out
47:06
later on, I said, you
47:08
know, you know what, the
47:10
baby hears. The indigestion from
47:12
the Taco Bell that you
47:14
ate last night, you son of
47:17
a bit. But anyway, but
47:19
yes, LA Night won the
47:21
US title back from Shaky
47:24
Nakamura. The crowd was
47:26
silent when Nakamura was
47:28
kind of in charge of this
47:30
thing and they still like LA Night,
47:33
but it was a blase match
47:35
and LA tried, but it just,
47:37
it wasn't good and they retired
47:39
and they didn't want to
47:42
see O'Sheaggy. But otherwise than
47:44
that, that was the smacketh of
47:46
the down. It most certainly
47:49
was, W.E. Smackdown for the 7th
47:51
of March and of course after
47:53
a... Show like that with so
47:55
much talking. Big stars, everything's
47:57
interesting, but you may be tired.
47:59
It may be time to lay
48:02
yourself down, lay yourself, lay
48:04
yourself down, lady, lay yourself
48:06
down for a good night's
48:08
sleep on a fantastic mattress
48:11
that's just for you. A
48:13
fantastic mattress that's just for
48:15
you that has not been
48:18
made for anybody else but
48:20
you. It's just a mattress
48:22
for you alone. At our
48:24
friends at Helix sleep.com.
48:27
We'll put you on to one of
48:29
those mattresses. They'll lay you right out
48:31
on it. You won't be able to
48:33
get up. As a matter of fact, when
48:35
you lay your... Well, no. When you lay
48:37
your precious carcass down upon one
48:40
of these mattresses, the thoughts of
48:42
getting up will instantly disappear from
48:44
your mind. You will just want
48:47
to lay there in the cradle
48:49
of luxury and sleep forever. Sleep
48:51
the sleep of the angels.
48:53
And sooner or later you'll lose
48:55
all willpower. and you'll slowly start
48:58
sinking in and becoming one with
49:00
the mattress. It will grow into
49:02
your follicles and then into your
49:04
upper epidermis until you're
49:06
inextricably linked with the
49:09
helix mattress. Until you wake up
49:11
from this nasty slumberland that obviously
49:13
is taking place a castle cornet,
49:15
but of course most of us
49:17
have pleasant dreams and most of
49:19
us need a pleasant mattress to
49:21
have those wonderful dreams on. Spend
49:23
your nights. the right way even
49:25
some of your days on a
49:28
great mattress helix sleep good things
49:30
your schedule is your schedule is up
49:32
to you ladies gentlemen but no it
49:34
if you get up every eight or
49:36
ten or even twelve hours it'll it'll
49:38
just kill the process that i
49:41
was talking about and it'll take you
49:43
that much longer to achieve oneness with
49:45
your helix sleep mattress but folks
49:47
it's designed just for you because
49:50
when you go to helix sleep dot
49:52
com They're going to have you take
49:54
a little quiz. Do you like hard
49:56
mattresses or soft mattresses? Do you
49:59
like enthusiastic? energetic mattresses or do
50:01
you like quiet bookwormish mattresses just
50:03
a little bit of day you
50:05
know if if you're gonna answer
50:08
questions about an online date then
50:10
why wouldn't you you don't know
50:12
you're gonna sleep with the online
50:14
date but you know you're gonna
50:17
sleep with the online mattress I
50:19
think Brian you can't argue what
50:21
you're talking about this example we're
50:23
talking to Mr. and Mrs. listener
50:25
out there and of course Yes,
50:28
little baby listeners that may be
50:30
ordering one of the child's mattresses
50:32
for their own self because mom
50:34
and daddy just took their mattress
50:37
and left them to sit in
50:39
a corner with their individual credit
50:41
cards. Snackable. They're snackable in a
50:43
credit card. If you need anything,
50:45
kid, just put it on this.
50:48
But if you go to helix
50:50
sleep, 18 or older to purchase.
50:52
Let's just make sure. Unless your
50:54
parents permission..com and you take.com helix
50:57
sleep.com and you take the quiz
50:59
and what kind of mattress you
51:01
like and how you like to
51:03
sleep and they'll match you up
51:05
with the perfect thing that that
51:08
they make that you want and
51:10
then they will send it to
51:12
you and then and then you
51:14
can have this child or whoever
51:17
you're talking about that's sitting over
51:19
in the corner with a lunchable
51:21
and a credit card help you
51:23
unbox it and it'll spring to
51:25
life in your in your own
51:28
bedroom and you will lay down
51:30
upon it and you'll be floating
51:32
in the clouds because it's the
51:34
perfect mattress design just but they've
51:37
got a little cobbler at the
51:39
helix factory over there Lincoln Nebraska
51:41
that makes these things and the
51:43
one at a time it's amazing
51:45
he keeps up with the orders
51:48
they send them out quickly these
51:50
are not statements of fact well
51:52
no no you don't get a
51:54
statement you don't get a statement
51:57
you have to pay for the
51:59
thing and then they'll send it
52:01
back Yeah, but you don't get
52:03
any statements once a... a great
52:05
mattress. We love them here. We
52:08
just love them. I hope you're
52:10
listening. We love you. We love
52:12
you. Great mattresses. Love will. I
52:14
hump your mattress every night. I've
52:17
probably loved on you. That's not
52:19
what I'm saying. We love the
52:21
support and the comfort of a
52:23
good helix. Yeah, boy, it stood
52:25
up to a lot of hump,
52:28
but it's got tremendous support. Jesus
52:30
Christ. But nobody has ejaculated on
52:32

54:05
of these things that we talked

about. That's right, Helix sleep, and
54:10
with that, I know we just
54:12
said it's a always a good
54:14
time to lay down, but let's
54:16
get back up and let's travel
54:19
to the future, or actually the
54:21
past, for the review of AEW
54:23
Revolution. Well
54:26
Jim, as the drive-through rolls on,
54:28
we have a big review, the
54:30
one everyone's been waiting for, the
54:33
AEW paper view, some people thought
54:35
it was one of the greatest
54:37
paper views of all time. What,
54:39
what? Other people thought the exact
54:41
opposite, I'm not sure who was
54:43
in the middle, it seems like
54:46
everyone took one position or the
54:48
other, but A-E-W revenue, I know
54:50
what position I took. On my
54:52
hands and knees got fucked out
54:54
of time of my life, I'll
54:56
never get back. That's what position
54:59
I took on the thing. This
55:01
was A.W. Revolution in Los Angeles.
55:03
They've broken me. They've broken me
55:05
to the point where I don't
55:07
know that I can muster up
55:09
enough outrageous indignation to fully express
55:12
the various... vehement thoughts that were
55:14
flashing through my mind as I
55:16
sat and was inflicted upon with
55:18
this thing is that what Uncle
55:20
Dave said on paper, this is
55:22
the strongest paper view lineup ever
55:25
in the history of paper view.
55:27
Well, they should have stuck with
55:29
paper because on video it was
55:31
fucking brutal. And I'm going to
55:33
even expose a little bit of
55:35
our own business here. We are
55:38
doing this part of the... The
55:40
drive-through episode that you folks may
55:42
be listening to now if you
55:44
are indeed Consuming the podcast instead
55:46
of a clip on YouTube one
55:48
way or the other the point
55:51
is I've just set and watched
55:53
this show. It's a Monday morning
55:55
The pay-per-view took place on a
55:57
Sunday night and a Monday morning,
55:59
it crossed midnight, the wee-bitching hour,
56:01
and then I got up my
56:04
watch-the-thing from eight o'clock in the
56:06
morning till fucking noon, and then
56:08
we're recording this because I have
56:10
a family commitment that we could
56:12
not do the whole... the whole
56:14
she-bang of a program today. I'm
56:17
helping the in-laws with some things
56:19
this afternoon. So we're going to
56:21
do the rest of the program
56:23
tomorrow because I said we don't
56:25
have time and there's no way
56:27
after I watch four hours this
56:30
that I could be in a
56:32
cheerful mood Brian last. In order
56:34
to start the program and not
56:36
just be, have people be suicidal
56:38
listening to me by the time
56:40
that we get halfway through it.
56:43
You said four hours, I'm guessing
56:45
you didn't watch the pre-show? Well
56:47
that was a point I was
56:49
going to make here shortly, but
56:51
since you jumped right into it
56:53
with both feet I will follow
56:56
along I'm talking about the paper
56:58
view ladies and gentlemen that was
57:00
past four hours the pre-show Was
57:02
another hour and a half they
57:04
had I've been on fucking sold-out
57:06
shows with six-figure houses that didn't
57:09
have as many people on the
57:11
card as they had on the
57:13
pre-show Would
57:15
you like to hear what was
57:17
on a pre-show? You didn't watch
57:20
this, did you? I saw bits
57:22
and pieces. I saw the end
57:25
of the Jericho segment and I
57:27
saw a little bit of the
57:29
big boom AJ thing, but that's
57:32
all I saw. I don't know
57:34
if there was much else other
57:37
than it. Well, I jotted it
57:39
down off the internet, just in
57:41
the interest of completionism, to let
57:44
the people know what... Kind of
57:46
show that the people in Los
57:48
Angeles saw before the show that
57:51
they came to see got started
57:53
That's a way that's a proper
57:56
way to phrase it, isn't it?
57:58
That's a way to phrase it
58:00
Hologram and commander defeated Blake Christian
58:03
and Lee Johnson. But you doesn't
58:05
gotta call him Johnson. Why you
58:08
could call him Lee, or you
58:10
could call him L.J. Where's Bill
58:12
Saluga when you need him? He's
58:15
dead. Well, we need him. So
58:17
then... They had an eight-man tag
58:19
team match. Player. Daddy Garcia and...
58:22
The unmitigated era. What is their
58:24
god-dam name now? The indomitable spirit?
58:27
The undisputed kingdom! I was still
58:29
going for era! Uh, Kyle O'Reilly,
58:31
Adam Cole, and Roderick Strong with
58:34
Danny Garcia defeated Shane Taylor, Lee
58:36
Moriarty, Carly Bravo. She sounds like
58:39
the traffic girl on local news.
58:41
And now to the helicopter for
58:43
a look at the traffic with
58:46
Carly Bravo! And Sean Dean. And
58:48
then help me understand since you
58:50
saw a bit of this, I
58:53
read the result as Chris Jericho
58:55
went to a no contest with
58:58
gravity. Did he float away? Obviously
59:00
if you look at his waistline,
59:02
he's been having a battle of
59:05
gravity for several years now. No,
59:07
I saw, I didn't see any
59:10
of the match. I didn't even
59:12
know what exactly the match was.
59:14
I just saw the postmatch where
59:17
Bandido, who was wearing a different
59:19
color mask, I didn't recognize it,
59:21
but first, was being held back
59:24
by Big Bill, who looks great?
59:26
He's in great shape. While Jericho
59:29
ripped the mask off, then he
59:31
went down and... You get that
59:33
weird thing where no matter what
59:36
they do to him he sells
59:38
his face because he's covering his
59:41
face? Like Ernie Ladd and Wild
59:43
Bull. Curry selling their ear when
59:45
they get stomped on the toe.
59:48
But yeah, punch in the gut.
59:50
Oh my God, my face is
59:52
exposed. And then finally, Bandito was
59:55
set free and he jumped on
59:57
his friend to cover him so
1:00:00
that no one would see him.
1:00:02
Then the family was at ringside
1:00:04
and it was doing a family.
1:00:07
I guess it was gravity's family.
1:00:09
I didn't have the commentary on.
1:00:12
I was just watching gravity has
1:00:14
a family. All of a sudden
1:00:16
there was a woman. What would
1:00:19
that, what would that be, would
1:00:21
that be, would that be like?
1:00:23
Title waves or what would what
1:00:26
would be related to gravity? What's
1:00:28
in the gravity family? See now
1:00:31
you're making me question what happened?
1:00:33
A.W. Revolution pre-show and Here are
1:00:35
the results I'm just what you
1:00:38
know if people were defying gravity
1:00:40
I'd like to know about it
1:00:43
and that one didn't have anything.
1:00:45
Let's see here are the results.
1:00:47
Well, I thought Jericho was the
1:00:50
newsmaker the Record breaker. The Master
1:00:52
Bader ripped off gravity's mask and
1:00:54
it doesn't say anything here about
1:00:57
the family. At one point there
1:00:59
was a woman and kids being
1:01:02
shuffled the ringside and they made
1:01:04
a point of showing it. I
1:01:06
figured it was gravity's family. I
1:01:09
think that was a dispute over
1:01:11
some kind of paternity suit payments
1:01:14
that one of the talent was.
1:01:16
Sort of like a Billy Travis
1:01:18
thing in Memphis. The angle here,
1:01:21
I'm reading a Russell Zone report,
1:01:23
the angle here with gravity and
1:01:25
Bandido's family was old school wrestling
1:01:28
and it was done well. All
1:01:30
right. Okay, and then apparently to
1:01:33
main event, got my notes here,
1:01:35
apparently to main event zero hour
1:01:37
and it was aptly named except
1:01:40
it was apparently an hour and
1:01:42
it was apparently an hour and
1:01:45
it was apparently an hour and
1:01:47
it was apparently an hour and
1:01:49
hour and it was apparently an
1:01:52
hour and it was apparently an
1:01:54
hour and The male models that
1:01:56
were run out of the W-W-W-E,
1:01:59
massage or menage and mansway, or
1:02:01
massage. and Menage or whatever their
1:02:04
names is with and
1:02:06
apparently now poor
1:02:08
Johnny, Johnny Nitro,
1:02:11
John, whatever his
1:02:13
last name is,
1:02:15
this point is,
1:02:17
is somehow affiliated
1:02:19
with these Cretans.
1:02:22
And they lost to
1:02:24
pockets, Mark Brisco
1:02:27
and the Costco
1:02:29
guy. Is the Costco guy over
1:02:31
on the west coast like he is
1:02:33
on the east coast or did they
1:02:35
get it or what happened? You know
1:02:37
they react just fine to him. He
1:02:39
throws good punches. The biggest reaction
1:02:41
was for big justice when he
1:02:44
got in the ring at the end.
1:02:46
People like he's the he's the the
1:02:48
the larger pudgy kid rather than
1:02:50
the smaller pudgy kid right whose
1:02:52
name is the the twizzler the
1:02:54
rizzler and he was at ringside
1:02:56
he came out dressed like orange
1:02:58
Cassidy so he was kind of
1:03:00
a mini orange Cassidy for the
1:03:02
match oh he'd he already
1:03:05
fucking outweighs orange Cassidy and
1:03:07
he's fucking five Johnny TV uh
1:03:09
there were some weird not weird but
1:03:11
You know you've seen people make out on wrestling
1:03:13
shows but this one they made a point of
1:03:15
him and Tyav Valkyrie just tongues all over each
1:03:17
other's faces it was kind of... Kind of
1:03:20
gross, I have. No, it's
1:03:22
okay, it's okay. It's that's
1:03:24
been blessed by a preacher.
1:03:26
They're married. Right, but no
1:03:28
one wants to see it,
1:03:30
is my point. I don't
1:03:32
think anyone wants to see.
1:03:34
Well, no, it's, it's, it's,
1:03:36
it's, it's okay in the
1:03:38
eyes of the Lord, as
1:03:40
long as they're officially betrode
1:03:42
each other, they can go
1:03:44
ahead and fucking, all kinds
1:03:46
of commissutra shit, yeah. Because again,
1:03:48
you didn't watch this, you wouldn't have
1:03:50
wanted to see. It was gross. It
1:03:52
was gross. And that was... Hey, I'll
1:03:55
tell you what, if tires involved
1:03:57
always want to see it.
1:03:59
Really? Anyway. We finally got to
1:04:01
the point where I joined
1:04:03
the festivities. A-E-W revolution on
1:04:05
paper view and on, what are they
1:04:08
on now? They on Amazon, if they're
1:04:10
on Amazon prime, does that
1:04:12
mean that every time one of
1:04:14
those screwy little trucks or now
1:04:16
people just in their normal civilian
1:04:19
motor cars pull up your house,
1:04:21
they're gonna hand you a box
1:04:24
with, when you open it up,
1:04:26
there's a god damn tape of the
1:04:28
fucking show. No, it just means you
1:04:30
go to the website and you
1:04:32
purchase the paper view and stream
1:04:35
it Yeah, I can stream shit off my
1:04:37
deck that I would rather watch Then
1:04:39
anyway They were in Los Angeles
1:04:41
the the city of the angels Seemed
1:04:44
like they had a decent crowd
1:04:46
for them these day you might want
1:04:48
to they didn't say how many was
1:04:50
there at least not that I
1:04:52
heard they didn't have any big
1:04:55
graphic like the other guys do
1:04:57
when they have big crowds, so It
1:05:00
seemed like it might be something
1:05:02
for them to brag over, but
1:05:04
did you hear any bragging about
1:05:06
it? According to Russell ticks, and
1:05:09
this was yesterday as of 4
1:05:11
p.m. Eastern time, I believe,
1:05:13
they had 11,322 tickets
1:05:15
distributed, only 423 tickets
1:05:18
available, and I have to say
1:05:20
it looked great. The house was
1:05:22
really, really good. It was the
1:05:24
best looking crowd from AW we've
1:05:26
seen in a very long time. Over
1:05:28
a year. Or since, when was
1:05:30
Greensboro? When they did the big
1:05:33
house for a year ago, right?
1:05:35
Wasn't that like last March? That
1:05:37
was last March. Beware the tides
1:05:39
of March. Okay, 11,300, even if
1:05:42
those are distributed, they're not all
1:05:44
paid and they have set up
1:05:46
for a little under, they could
1:05:49
have said, we have 12,000
1:05:51
people sold out graphic drone
1:05:53
shots. The other guys are, they
1:05:55
finally do it. If they
1:05:58
said anything I didn't hear it. And
1:06:01
they started the show off and
1:06:04
thank God for this! MJF is
1:06:06
the smartest man in wrestling. Because
1:06:08
he always, I think he goes
1:06:10
to, well I was about to
1:06:12
say I think he goes to
1:06:14
the production meeting, they don't have
1:06:17
them. I think he hides behind
1:06:19
equipment cases and listens to what
1:06:21
stupid shit is gonna be done
1:06:23
in the course of a show
1:06:25
and either goes on first, second
1:06:28
or maybe sometimes third. To get
1:06:30
the fuck out of there and
1:06:32
not to get any on him
1:06:34
and to still have a crowd
1:06:36
that will Watch normal logical common
1:06:39
sense wrestling and react to it
1:06:41
instead of having seen 47 different
1:06:43
Attempted mayhem's and vehicular homicides and
1:06:45
in this one he went on
1:06:47
for if I would have MJF
1:06:49
I would have asked to be
1:06:52
on a pre-show on this one
1:06:54
him and hang nail page but
1:06:56
Can you deny Brian last, that
1:06:58
it's awfully odd, that whenever MJF
1:07:00
was going to have a classic
1:07:03
match with somebody like punk or
1:07:05
Danielson, and they weren't going to
1:07:07
literally try to behead and disembowel
1:07:09
people on the undercard, he went
1:07:11
on last because that was the
1:07:13
money match. But now that they've
1:07:16
taken their company into the outlaw
1:07:18
mud show gutter and... negated much
1:07:20
of MJF's appeal with their shoddy
1:07:22
booking, he gets on first or
1:07:24
second and gets the fuck out
1:07:27
of there after having what makes,
1:07:29
a match that makes more sense
1:07:31
than anything else you're gonna see
1:07:33
on the show. Am I lying?
1:07:35
I don't know if you're lying,
1:07:37
but I think he's always gone
1:07:40
on early in the show, with,
1:07:42
you know, a few exceptions like
1:07:44
the punk thing, but, you know,
1:07:46
a thing him and Darby, that
1:07:48
opened up opened a few years
1:07:51
ago. Yeah but what else was
1:07:53
on that fucking show? Why he
1:07:55
wanted to get in and get
1:07:57
it over with? Yeah I mean
1:07:59
they always had nonsense but even
1:08:02
Even if there was no garbage
1:08:04
on the show, I still think
1:08:06
it's probably a smart move. In
1:08:08
terms of AW, I think MJF,
1:08:10
again when he's not in the
1:08:12
title match picture, or in a
1:08:15
big feud, he's kind of like
1:08:17
the perfect guy to start out
1:08:19
with because he does good stuff
1:08:21
and he does enough and nothing
1:08:23
goes too far and it ends
1:08:26
up being a great match. Now
1:08:28
I don't know about Adam Page's
1:08:30
haircut. I feel like MJ have
1:08:32
got saddled with Cody coming out
1:08:34
with that tattoo. He got saddled
1:08:36
with like he won the title
1:08:39
and then he got saddled. He
1:08:41
has to wrestle out of Paige.
1:08:43
He comes out with a, it
1:08:45
wasn't a perm, but it was
1:08:47
a very pretty little haircut. It,
1:08:50
I don't, I couldn't even come
1:08:52
up with a coach and simile
1:08:54
on what that haircut was about.
1:08:56
But here's the thing. So it's
1:08:58
Paige and Hangnail and... Again, MJF
1:09:00
is the best in the company
1:09:03
probably at putting smart matches together,
1:09:05
where shit gets a reaction and
1:09:07
it makes sense from in the
1:09:09
context of what you're looking at.
1:09:11
And MJF is also the smartest
1:09:14
guy at working like a heel
1:09:16
so you understand who the heel
1:09:18
is and giving the baby face
1:09:20
by proxy or process of elimination
1:09:22
or whatever, a little more oomph
1:09:25
himself because The people are wanting
1:09:27
him to foil the heel spots
1:09:29
or to give the heel taste
1:09:31
of his own medicine, whatever So
1:09:33
you got that going for you?
1:09:35
Hang nail as we know is
1:09:38
a blood drinker or was he
1:09:40
the drinky or the drinker? Who
1:09:42
drank who there him and swerve
1:09:44
their blood brothers? He drank swerve's
1:09:46
blood and I thought about that
1:09:49
when he spit in MJF's face.
1:09:51
I'm like oh anything with this
1:09:53
guy and fucking bodily fluids is
1:09:55
kind of disgusting Well, but the
1:09:57
point being, they probably come from
1:09:59
opposite ends of the spectrum and
1:10:02
I was worried... that MJF would
1:10:04
be trying to do too much
1:10:06
of this morons cockah to placate
1:10:08
him, but then when I saw
1:10:10
the finish and I realized why
1:10:13
it was mostly seemed like an
1:10:15
MJF match for most of it.
1:10:17
I don't know about that power
1:10:19
bomb on the knee, because in
1:10:21
this case, he power bombed Page's
1:10:24
back on his knee, but Page
1:10:26
is... Head went down and on
1:10:28
the mat, his legs jack-nifed up
1:10:30
over the top of it. I'm
1:10:32
not worried about Page, I'm just
1:10:34
hoping at MJ have done doing
1:10:37
it to anybody else. That would
1:10:39
be a hard sell for me
1:10:41
anyway. Because you're not going across
1:10:43
something that you can absorb with
1:10:45
the brunt of your upper back,
1:10:48
you're going... If you
1:10:50
like getting power bombed on a
1:10:52
balance beam and there's too much
1:10:55
margin for error where you could
1:10:57
go sideways or in this case
1:10:59
over the top or whatever and
1:11:02
I... Page... Page at one point
1:11:04
fired up after MJF hit the
1:11:07
ropes and ran and hit Page
1:11:09
in the face with his dick.
1:11:11
So that was an interesting spot.
1:11:14
I love MJF's hammerlock DDT. That
1:11:16
thing ought to be a fucking
1:11:19
finish. It looks better than most
1:11:21
people's shit, anything else that anybody
1:11:23
does. So of course it's a
1:11:26
two count. And you know, they
1:11:28
went back and forth and this
1:11:30
again, this was an okay MJF
1:11:33
match and a really good, maybe
1:11:35
the best ever Adam Page match
1:11:38
because they mostly made sense. They
1:11:40
went back and forth on false
1:11:42
finishes where Page is trying to
1:11:45
get the buck shot. He hit
1:11:47
it one turn the yes the
1:11:50
buck shot or buck snort or
1:11:52
whatever He hit it one time
1:11:54
MJF got his foot on the
1:11:57
ropes. He kept going for it,
1:11:59
but MJF would dagger or roll
1:12:02
away. And then finally MJF foiled
1:12:04
it into an arm bar and
1:12:06
held it for a while. And
1:12:09
then they were on the floor
1:12:11
for a while and then for
1:12:14
no apparent reason they're fighting on
1:12:16
the floor but Paige turns around
1:12:18
and gets up on the rail
1:12:21
like he's gonna moonsault the guy
1:12:23
off the railing around the the
1:12:26
ring while the guy's standing on
1:12:28
the floor. It just seemed odd
1:12:30
that he would, I'm gonna do
1:12:33
a backflip now, except that MJF
1:12:35
caught him, because that was the
1:12:37
next spot, and he gave him
1:12:40
a tombstone pile driver on the
1:12:42
folding chair that was sitting at
1:12:45
ringside, and that was different, and
1:12:47
it looked great, and it bent
1:12:49
the chair, and a doctor's checking
1:12:52
page, and... And then page rolls
1:12:54
back in and this was going
1:12:57
to start what would be an
1:12:59
epidemic of the night of shit
1:13:01
that looked okay in some cases
1:13:04
and definitely look dangerous in all
1:13:06
cases and would kill any normal
1:13:09
human being in all cases and
1:13:11
then they just jump back up
1:13:13
and do more shit. Yeah, page
1:13:16
was on the floor until like
1:13:18
eight and a half, he woke
1:13:21
up and then at nine he
1:13:23
jumped in. Yes, and then there's
1:13:25
MJF is crying and why you
1:13:28
and not me? I was asking
1:13:30
the same thing. Well, you know,
1:13:32
why am I ever to watch
1:13:35
this? No, that's the thing where,
1:13:37
yes, I understand he's working the
1:13:40
deal where he's mad and offended
1:13:42
that the fans started cheering friend.
1:13:44
I would be too cheering for
1:13:47
this puts instead of me. But
1:13:49
he just tombstone piledrove the fucking
1:13:52
guy on a god-dam folding chair
1:13:54
that's sitting on a concrete floor
1:13:56
and a guy beats the count
1:13:59
and now They continue the match
1:14:01
and page picks him up and
1:14:04
gives him a dead eye and
1:14:06
then a face buster and it
1:14:08
hits him with the buck shot
1:14:11
one two three and it was
1:14:13
a what the fuck did he
1:14:16
just tombstone him on a chair
1:14:18
on the floor and the next
1:14:20
three moves that happened page just
1:14:23
got up and fucking beat him
1:14:25
and I But
1:14:28
I'll tell you, it was
1:14:30
20 minutes, but it didn't
1:14:32
seem nearly as long as
1:14:34
the rest of these things
1:14:36
would because some of them
1:14:38
were longer also, but I
1:14:40
couldn't understand the finish. Why?
1:14:42
I mean, obviously they said,
1:14:44
okay, MJF. Everybody else has
1:14:46
tried to get this sorry
1:14:49
sack of shit over. It's
1:14:51
your turn. Do a job
1:14:53
for him, however he was.
1:14:55
You know instructed required or
1:14:57
contractually obligated to put this
1:14:59
fucking prick over But how
1:15:01
the fuck would did MJF
1:15:03
think it was a good
1:15:05
idea to do a devastating
1:15:07
move to him just where
1:15:09
he got up and kicked
1:15:11
his ass right in the
1:15:14
middle one two three or
1:15:16
did they make him? Do
1:15:18
a devastating move to the
1:15:20
guy so he could get
1:15:22
up and kick his ass
1:15:24
one two three I'd help
1:15:26
me I don't know how
1:15:28
I'm supposed to help you
1:15:30
I don't have any answers.
1:15:32
I think the Tombstone on
1:15:34
the chair looked incredible. Do
1:15:36
you think it's wasted if
1:15:38
it's... I guess... Yes. Okay.
1:15:41
Either. Either either, either, either
1:15:43
was completely wasted. Either, my
1:15:45
God, MJF is the weakest
1:15:47
son bitch on the planet,
1:15:49
Page is indestructible, or more
1:15:51
probably, all this shit's phony
1:15:53
and it doesn't hurt anybody.
1:15:56
And that's the the fucking God
1:15:59
damn attitude that most people get
1:16:01
when they see horseshit like this
1:16:03
and the people who are in
1:16:05
the audience who are the of
1:16:08
AEW who are the dedicated half
1:16:10
a million people or whatever that
1:16:12
are gonna fucking watch the TV
1:16:14
show or a hundred thousand are
1:16:16
gonna buy the paper view here.
1:16:19
They know that some of it
1:16:21
hurts but they're like awestruck that
1:16:23
That these fucking phony mother-fuckers will
1:16:25
God-dam work together to put on
1:16:28
a show where they try to
1:16:30
break each other's necks for their
1:16:32
benefit. Most people don't think that
1:16:34
way. And hopefully we're done with
1:16:36
MJF and Page. It seems like
1:16:39
the match ended and now both
1:16:41
guys can move on and we'll
1:16:43
see what they do. I don't
1:16:45
want to see Adam Page and
1:16:47
Sorve ever again. I don't really
1:16:50
need to see Adam Page and
1:16:52
the bucks camp again. I don't
1:16:54
know what they're going to do
1:16:56
at Adam Page. What are they
1:16:59
going to do with MJF? I
1:17:01
don't know. I don't know what
1:17:03
there is to do with MJF
1:17:05
right now. What is there to
1:17:07
do, Brian? I don't know. Unless?
1:17:10
Unless we transition to a sponsor
1:17:12
spot or whatever it is that's
1:17:14
happening right now. I don't know
1:17:16
what's going on. Well Jim, as
1:17:18
we take this short break in
1:17:21
the action, I think it's been
1:17:23
hard to ignore. MJF suddenly has
1:17:25
a lot more facial hair, a
1:17:27
mustache to go with his beard
1:17:30
and his chin. And of course
1:17:32
Adam Page always has something going
1:17:34
on and now he has a
1:17:36
girly haircut, but let's talk really
1:17:38
about the facial hair. You need
1:17:41
the right razor, you need the
1:17:43
right support to make sure that
1:17:45
you make all the right decisions
1:17:47
when you take that razor to
1:17:50
your face. Help me out, Jim.
1:17:52
We're talking about our friend at
1:17:54
Harry's. You're making me want to
1:17:56
take a razor to my throat.
1:17:58
No! Well, you can take one
1:18:01
of the Harry's razors to your
1:18:03
throat, your neck. You can rub
1:18:05
it around on your jugular and
1:18:07
it's not going to do serious
1:18:09
damage because ladies and gentlemen these
1:18:12
things are designed for custom shaving.
1:18:14
and ease and comfort and smoothness
1:18:16
and closeness and all of the
1:18:18
slickness that you would imagine from
1:18:21
folks like Harry's and of course
1:18:23
that's harries.com HARYS.com don't think it's
1:18:25
Harry's H-A-I-R-Y-S because that would just
1:18:27
be silly because of the pun
1:18:29
that would be going on with
1:18:32
the situation. But folks if you're
1:18:34
Harry... Then Harry's has something for
1:18:36
you right now a $13 trial
1:18:38
set for just $3. You wonder
1:18:40
why you say why JCP why?
1:18:43
Is it so important that we
1:18:45
get a trial set so you
1:18:47
can understand the quality of the
1:18:49
products that you can potentially receive
1:18:52
on an ongoing basis in the
1:18:54
future from Harry's because they've got
1:18:56
first of all the The razor,
1:18:58
the incredibly ergonomically designed weighted handle
1:19:00
that's so easy to hold in
1:19:03
your hand with the treaded grips
1:19:05
on the handle that make it
1:19:07
easy not to drop it and
1:19:09
you know potentially swallow it and
1:19:11
choke yourself or potentially on the
1:19:14
way down it might slice some
1:19:16
element of your dick off or
1:19:18
something. That's only if you're naked
1:19:20
in the bathroom, but most people
1:19:23
are. It's one of the rooms
1:19:25
in the house where most people
1:19:27
are naked. But never, Brian are
1:19:29
you usually naked in the bathroom,
1:19:31
at least from the waist down?
1:19:34
Well, I mean, the shower's in
1:19:36
the bathroom. I mean, maybe in
1:19:38
there. The shower? It poles show
1:19:40
that you're naked a lot of
1:19:43
time in the bathroom, but nevertheless,
1:19:45
while you're naked, you got this
1:19:47
incredible, ergonomically designed razor handle. You've
1:19:49
got the five blade cartridge. With
1:19:51
the razors that are sharper than
1:19:54
a serpent's tooth, German engineered blades
1:19:56
made in their own factory. And
1:19:58
you get foaming shaved... to smear
1:20:00
all over your face so that
1:20:02
you can glide that incredible
1:20:05
scientifically, ergonomically
1:20:08
perfect razor across your
1:20:10
face and eliminate all that
1:20:12
facial hair and you get
1:20:14
a travel cover. Three dollars.
1:20:16
And that way, you can see
1:20:18
that you like these products and
1:20:21
then the customizable
1:20:23
delivery options with
1:20:25
refills as low as two bucks.
1:20:27
are available on your own schedule
1:20:30
in your own time. You don't have to
1:20:32
go to the store and have the
1:20:34
guy pry this anti burglary device
1:20:36
off with a crowbar or whatever
1:20:38
or set alarm bells off when
1:20:41
you're trying to leave. The grocery store,
1:20:43
it comes to you right in the
1:20:45
mail. And it's a no-risk trial.
1:20:47
You can cancel at any time,
1:20:49
convenient subscription options,
1:20:51
highest customer satisfaction
1:20:54
in a shaving
1:20:56
industry. If they can make you
1:20:58
look good, and you meaning the
1:21:00
royal you out there, you know who
1:21:02
I'm talking to, I'm talking to
1:21:05
you, they can make you look good,
1:21:07
you know they're good. So normally
1:21:09
the trial set $13, but
1:21:12
right, it's three bucks. So what
1:21:14
the fuck, it's 75 cents a
1:21:16
week. You can shave on this
1:21:18
thing unless you're a were
1:21:20
wolf for quite some time. Harry's.com/
1:21:24
JC-E. Brian, have
1:21:26
you recently trimmed around your head and
1:21:28
nickel area? I will tell you, I
1:21:30
have made some adjustments recently and have
1:21:32
to make a few more, and I'm
1:21:35
very lucky that I have Harry's here
1:21:37
in the house ready to go, because
1:21:39
I'm gonna need it, and I'm gonna
1:21:41
use it. I need a friend, like
1:21:43
Harry, from Harry. Well, and Harry ain't
1:21:45
gonna let you down, I'll tell you,
1:21:48
ever since he's been coming over here
1:21:50
to shave me. Every Tuesday afternoon at
1:21:52
3. He comes and that's why I mentioned being naked
1:21:54
because he's always wanting us to be naked when
1:21:56
we go to the bathroom for the shave. Well
1:21:58
Jim I could tell you... someone who
1:22:01
could use Harry, one
1:22:03
more time, what's that promo
1:22:05
code? J-C-E. That's right,
1:22:07
I could tell you someone
1:22:10
who can use Harry's, that
1:22:12
of course is Tony
1:22:14
Khan, and let's go back
1:22:17
to his wet dream,
1:22:19
A-W Revolution 2025. Well
1:22:21
now that we've got all
1:22:23
that settled, Brian, the
1:22:25
revolution continued, and unfortunately in
1:22:28
this case, the revolution
1:22:30
was televised. And we got
1:22:32
to see for the women's
1:22:35
title Mercedes-Man versus Momo
1:22:37
Wannabe. And again, I think
1:22:39
this was a situation
1:22:41
where they were looking at
1:22:44
the lineup and said, well,
1:22:46
we might as well
1:22:48
get this over with early.
1:22:51
I mean, seriously, two
1:22:53
girls doing too much that
1:22:55
they can't do for too
1:22:58
long and nobody really
1:23:00
gives a shit about either
1:23:02
one of them in
1:23:04
the overall scheme of things.
1:23:07
And at right around 18
1:23:09
minutes into this exhibition,
1:23:11
Momo came off the turnbuckle
1:23:14
and landed bad and
1:23:16
hurt her leg. The announcer
1:23:18
were saying ankle. My
1:23:21
suspicion might have might be
1:23:23
the knee. I don't know
1:23:25
if you've heard any update,
1:23:28
but Mercedes grabbed her, gave
1:23:30
her that shitty finish, and
1:23:32
then got some kind of
1:23:34
STF-like choke maneuver and Momo
1:23:36
tapped. And then I heard
1:23:39
on Twitter they carried her
1:23:41
out. So, what, and again.
1:23:43
All this crazy shit that
1:23:45
these people do and she
1:23:48
jumped off I think the
1:23:50
second turnbuckle and landed on
1:23:52
her feet in the ring
1:23:54
to do a rolling thing
1:23:57
and just landed wrong. But
1:24:00
did I miss any subtleties in this
1:24:02
match as to how it would be
1:24:05
the greatest woman's match ever or? No.
1:24:07
Was I saving a good amount of
1:24:09
time here? I don't think this was
1:24:11
much of a match. I don't know
1:24:14
about the injury or not, but they
1:24:16
either didn't mesh well together or it
1:24:18
just wasn't going to happen. I've never
1:24:20
really watched Momo if I've seen her
1:24:23
before, I don't remember. Wasn't very impressed
1:24:25
with her. And the fans didn't really
1:24:27
seem to impress with any of any
1:24:29
of this. Again, it's an A&W crowd
1:24:32
where they're quiet a lot and you
1:24:34
kind of have to try to figure
1:24:36
out are they just paying attention or
1:24:38
do they not like this? And they
1:24:41
didn't even really react at the finish
1:24:43
or at the end. So I don't
1:24:45
think they like this very much and
1:24:47
it wasn't a good match. I think
1:24:50
it a lot of, even in the
1:24:52
main events, they sit there and stare
1:24:54
unless somebody is chopping, which makes a
1:24:56
good loud noise or either. party gives
1:24:59
somebody else a big fucking bumper they
1:25:01
do a stunt and then they don't
1:25:03
care whether the baby face or the
1:25:05
heel is winning or in charge or
1:25:08
whatever it's just ooh they try to
1:25:10
kill each other which is where they've
1:25:12
got themselves which shows like this that
1:25:14
it can't be new it can't be
1:25:17
different they've done everything they can do
1:25:19
to the human body well we'll get
1:25:21
there but anyway Swerve Strickland
1:25:23
with Prince Nana versus Ricochet was
1:25:26
next up, Brian. And are they
1:25:28
ribbon swerve now that I've seen
1:25:30
people get marching bands and string
1:25:33
choirs, or not string choirs, but
1:25:35
string orchestras, and choirs, and all
1:25:38
can rock and roll bands and
1:25:40
all kinds of rock and all
1:25:42
kinds of musical bands and all
1:25:45
kinds of musical. a company been
1:25:47
on their entrance on big shows,
1:25:49
but have you ever seen one
1:25:52
unknown drummer play a guy? Have
1:25:54
fucking music to the ring. Here's
1:25:56
a bigger question. If done right,
1:25:59
that works well. Nothing like a
1:26:01
great drummer. Imagine that Gene Krupa
1:26:04
there. Nothing like a great drummer.
1:26:06
Oh, Buddy Rich would like a
1:26:08
word. Oh, yeah, well, he's like
1:26:11
a fist too. He's a tough
1:26:13
guy, Buddy Rich. Did the drums
1:26:15
work for the song? It didn't
1:26:18
go with the song. So then,
1:26:20
like, he's just banging away back
1:26:22
there and you can hear him.
1:26:25
And then the songs going and
1:26:27
it just didn't seem like it
1:26:30
just didn't seem like it worked.
1:26:32
or meshed well together. Do when
1:26:34
you when you think when you
1:26:37
think of swerves music and a
1:26:39
swerve when I drive and it's
1:26:41
kind of like it's the it's
1:26:44
the rapish it's the urban it's
1:26:46
the hip-hop it's that do you
1:26:48
think of drums? Exactly Keith Moon
1:26:51
couldn't play on that track. John
1:26:53
Bonham would have said are you
1:26:56
fucking kidding me? Like it's just
1:26:58
it's not the right place for
1:27:00
a drummer. I think could have
1:27:03
made that work. Did they identify
1:27:05
the drummer? Was it even a
1:27:07
famous drummer? I'm not even sure
1:27:10
who it was. I didn't know.
1:27:12
I don't know what. He just
1:27:14
did the drums and then here
1:27:17
came Swerve and the guy was
1:27:19
drumming the drums while Swerve was
1:27:22
swerving. Missed opportunity to use one
1:27:24
of the drums in a match?
1:27:26
No, well, if it's a missed
1:27:29
opportunity, it's the only one they
1:27:31
missed. And probably that poor guys,
1:27:33
and fuck you, you're not breaking
1:27:36
my fucking drums, I need this
1:27:38
in the park on Sunday afternoons,
1:27:41
make my rent. So anyway, they
1:27:43
rang the bell, swerve and ricochet.
1:27:45
What have I said about guys
1:27:48
worst instincts, where when you get
1:27:50
one of the gymnasts in with
1:27:52
a guy who can work, he'll
1:27:55
be calm down and it. Here,
1:27:57
Osprey is a classic example. When
1:27:59
you get in with MJF and
1:28:02
he can't do all the double
1:28:04
foolishness and his... has to make
1:28:07
sense. He's a heck of an
1:28:09
athlete and you can apply it
1:28:11
to wrestling. When you get two
1:28:14
guys that their whole thing is
1:28:16
they want to out, you know,
1:28:18
outdo each other with the hokey,
1:28:21
you know, Kung Fu movie scenes.
1:28:23
They nailed all their carte wheels
1:28:25
and their roundoffs and their backflips
1:28:28
and their legs slaps perfectly. That's
1:28:30
all the shit that they have
1:28:33
fun doing. But what looks like
1:28:35
shit is their their punches their
1:28:37
kicks any basic wrestling move like
1:28:40
a chinlock and Any timing and
1:28:42
any sense of the flow of
1:28:44
the match rather than getting in
1:28:47
the video game moves against each
1:28:49
other That's what suffers with these
1:28:51
guys and also the Overbookingness of
1:28:54
Tony thing I don't know I
1:28:57
don't know whether it's them or
1:28:59
whether it's Tony or what, but
1:29:01
at this point, does Nana not
1:29:03
look like the biggest prick? Ever?
1:29:06
Does Swerve not look like he
1:29:08
ought to just tell his fucking
1:29:10
useless bastard to hit the bricks?
1:29:12
They've made Nana almost ineffectual physically
1:29:14
and not even trying. Most of
1:29:16
the time made him look like
1:29:18
a pussy, but then... He bows
1:29:20
up and tells Swerve, you better
1:29:23
get my robe back. I've done
1:29:25
a lot for you. What? You
1:29:27
got your ass kicked for him.
1:29:29
Do you want to fight back?
1:29:31
And then, even in this match,
1:29:33
Nana tries to pull him off
1:29:35
the fucking guy on the floor
1:29:37
so he can tell him to
1:29:39
get back in the ring and
1:29:42
swerve loses his temper and shoves
1:29:44
Nana down. Well, okay, but then
1:29:46
Nana walks off on him. It
1:29:49
leaves a guy and stays in
1:29:51
the back for the rest of
1:29:53
the match until he comes out
1:29:55
and tries to fucking steal his
1:29:57
robe back Like the robe's more
1:29:59
important as Swearves getting his fucking
1:30:01
head caved in. And then after
1:30:03
Swerve wins and gets the fucking
1:30:05
robe back, he gets on his
1:30:07
knees and presents it to Nana,
1:30:09
like Nana's the king instead of
1:30:11
the prince. This story is, so
1:30:13
what the fuck, if friends like
1:30:15
that, I don't need enamis. I
1:30:17
actually thought, and I maybe still
1:30:19
think it would have been the
1:30:22
better option. Nana turned on him.
1:30:24
I thought Nana was gonna turn
1:30:26
and go with ricochet. Yeah. And
1:30:28
all three of them were wearing
1:30:30
white. You know, and I've been
1:30:32
kind of paying attention to the
1:30:34
colors, especially after the Jade Cargill
1:30:36
segment. The colors people come out
1:30:38
with and the colors people are
1:30:40
wearing. Usually it's white for a
1:30:42
baby face, black clothes for a
1:30:44
heel. Everyone was wearing white clothes
1:30:46
for a heel. Everyone was wearing
1:30:48
white here. So it was kind
1:30:50
of ambiguous. And when Nana left,
1:30:52
and then when he finally came
1:30:55
back, I was like, oh, this
1:30:57
is the time for Nana to
1:30:59
turn. And it. It would have
1:31:01
given him something to do and
1:31:03
people would have given a shit
1:31:05
at the same time it might
1:31:07
have made fucking ricochet interesting which
1:31:09
ain't gonna ever happen but anyway
1:31:11
that was the match is that
1:31:13
there was a long awkward struggle
1:31:15
on the where they were balancing
1:31:17
on the ropes but then they
1:31:19
jumped off without doing anything so
1:31:21
I think they lost it and
1:31:23
they tried to do a they
1:31:26
did a big move on the
1:31:28
Spanish announced desk and that table
1:31:30
didn't budge It looked like they
1:31:32
hit a frying pan. At one
1:31:34
point, Ricochet did a 450 off
1:31:36
the top and landed back first
1:31:38
right on top of Swerve with
1:31:40
every bit of his fucking weight.
1:31:42
And then not only got a
1:31:44
two count, but also what the
1:31:46
fuck? What do I tell you
1:31:48
about these fucking lunatics spinning around
1:31:50
off the top rope and just
1:31:52
landing wherever? And then they
1:31:55
did the bit with the robe,
1:31:57
and when Nana stole the robe,
1:31:59
Ricochet dove out on him and
1:32:01
knocked him down and then took
1:32:03
the robe back and put it
1:32:05
on. And then Swerve dove out
1:32:07
on Ricochet and Ricochet tried to
1:32:09
catch him over his shoulders in
1:32:11
a fireman's carry for probably a
1:32:13
death valley driver on the desk
1:32:15
or whatever, but Swerve was going
1:32:17
too fast and Ricochet's weaker and
1:32:19
cat's piss and he lost him
1:32:21
and dropped him on the floor
1:32:24
head first and then fell on
1:32:26
the side of Swerve's face. And
1:32:29
that could have broken his neck
1:32:31
twice in a space of two
1:32:33
seconds. And then again, Ricochet does
1:32:36
a big move and gets a
1:32:38
two count and Nana grabs the
1:32:40
robe and they have a tug
1:32:43
of war with the robe with
1:32:45
Nana and Ricochet. And Swerve rolled
1:32:48
Ricochet up, but Ricochet kicked him
1:32:50
off and swerve stopped short in
1:32:52
front of squishing Nana in the
1:32:55
turnbuckles. And then Ricochet came up
1:32:57
from behind with the roll-up and
1:32:59
pancake non in the corner and
1:33:02
rolled swerve up and swerve kicked
1:33:04
out and then gave him a
1:33:06
kick to the head and then
1:33:09
gave him the other kick to
1:33:11
the head second kick to the
1:33:14
head is whatever they call his
1:33:16
kick to the head and covered
1:33:18
him and got a two-count and
1:33:21
have a Jesus cry and then...
1:33:23
He picked Ricochet up and hit
1:33:25
him with some big fucking whoop-to-do
1:33:28
boom one two three Jesus why
1:33:30
was that necessary? They had the
1:33:32
momentum they had the tug-of-war with
1:33:35
the manager they had the manager
1:33:37
pancaked They had the roll-up and
1:33:40
the kick-out and then swerve kicked
1:33:42
him in the head boom cover
1:33:44
one two three Don't kick him
1:33:47
in the head again and then
1:33:49
pick him up It hit him
1:33:51
with something else, now you've lost
1:33:54
your fucking momentum. And also, you've
1:33:56
just beat the guy. flat when
1:33:59
you didn't need to beat him
1:34:01
flat because they would have been
1:34:03
happy to seem beaten with the
1:34:06
little out of the fucking roll
1:34:08
up in the pancake and the
1:34:10
blah blah blah. They can't stop
1:34:13
themselves from doing too much shit
1:34:15
and it then and ricochet's not
1:34:17
smart enough to the wrestling business
1:34:20
to realize that instead of being
1:34:22
beaten on a fluke where The
1:34:25
swerve kicked out after the pancake
1:34:27
of the manager and then kicks
1:34:29
him in the head from behind.
1:34:32
And he gets kicking to it
1:34:34
again and then he gets picked
1:34:36
up and just beat. So he's
1:34:38
a fucking idiot. Have I made
1:34:40
this point? Crystal clear. Twenty minutes,
1:34:42
bell to bell, again. And then
1:34:44
swerve got the robe and Nana
1:34:47
came in the ring and swerve
1:34:49
knelt down and gave it to
1:34:51
Nana and then they hugged. Because...
1:34:54
I don't know what the fact...
1:34:56
Anything you'd like to add or?
1:34:58
No, not really. Like I said,
1:35:00
I thought it was the time
1:35:03
for a Nana turn. It would
1:35:05
have made sense. It would have
1:35:07
made Nana. It would have refreshed
1:35:09
Nana. It would have been good
1:35:12
for Ricochet. I don't think Swerve
1:35:14
needs a manager at this point.
1:35:16
But they went in a different
1:35:18
direction and by the end of
1:35:21
the night they'll go in a
1:35:23
new direction with Swerve. Well, the
1:35:25
direction he came by the end
1:35:27
of the night was down, plummeting
1:35:30
faster than a stone, but we'll
1:35:32
get there because next up was
1:35:34
the intercontinental title match between Brody
1:35:36
King and Okada. You know how
1:35:39
even sometimes when you're not really
1:35:41
a fan of somebody, but you
1:35:43
see him in a situation where
1:35:45
you feel bad for him, you're
1:35:48
like, I feel bad for, I
1:35:50
feel sorry for this poor fucking
1:35:52
guy. That's the way I felt
1:35:54
for Brody King. Because I'm sorry.
1:35:57
Brody King was the number three
1:35:59
guy in the House of Black.
1:36:01
Maliki ran the thing, but he
1:36:03
never got over. It was all
1:36:06
that more of that spooky movie,
1:36:08
bullshit, and it was phony. And
1:36:10
people were like, yeah, and the
1:36:12
booking, whether it was Maliki's or
1:36:15
Tony's or whoever, is a stop
1:36:17
and star, and here and there,
1:36:19
whatever the fuck, buddy. His work
1:36:21
is great, his body's great, his
1:36:24
name is rotten, and they bury
1:36:26
him. And Brody King
1:36:28
is a guy who would be
1:36:31
on top in a small territory
1:36:33
or basically an indie guy for
1:36:35
modern, you know, consumption that just
1:36:38
wouldn't be a featured guy in
1:36:40
a major promotion. But Maliki leaves
1:36:42
and they repackage Buddy and Brody.
1:36:45
as the hounds of hell as
1:36:47
a tag team, and then bring
1:36:50
them in and beat them as
1:36:52
a team, and then they beat
1:36:54
them both as singles. They ever
1:36:57
want a match since they got
1:36:59
repackaged. But Brody King looks like
1:37:01
Bruiser Brody next to this soft,
1:37:04
lazy, bland, nothing happened and no
1:37:06
personality slug. Okada is either the
1:37:09
worst wrestler. in the world, the
1:37:11
laziest wrestler in the world, or
1:37:13
potentially both? Now he can't be
1:37:16
the worst, that's Moxley, but he's
1:37:18
the laziest, because Moxley works hard
1:37:20
to suck. And this guy is
1:37:23
sleepwalking through this. Can you deny
1:37:25
what I'm saying, Brian? That every
1:37:28
match that Okata does, he sleepwalks.
1:37:30
He's the only guy I've ever
1:37:32
seen that does an elbow fall
1:37:35
off the top instead of an
1:37:37
elbow drop. He's clotsy, he's awkward,
1:37:39
he's slow, he takes a bump
1:37:42
like he's landing on god damn
1:37:44
hot asphalt. And every once in
1:37:47
a while he'll stand up and
1:37:49
throw a drop kick. Can you
1:37:51
deny what I'm saying is true?
1:37:54
I always liked him in Japan
1:37:56
years ago, and I can't deny
1:37:58
what you're saying. Sleepwalking. And if
1:38:01
he's not lazy, and I'm not
1:38:03
going to say he is, but
1:38:06
he appears lazy in the way
1:38:08
he does his things in the
1:38:10
ring and on the floor and
1:38:13
wherever else he does stuff, I
1:38:15
have not enjoyed Okata's running AW
1:38:17
at all. And this was not
1:38:20
a match I liked. Laccadadesical. Maybe
1:38:22
even better than lazy. Yeah, you
1:38:25
know what? That's the term. Just
1:38:27
like, you know, who cares? Who
1:38:29
gives a shit? I'm gonna get
1:38:32
paid either way. Okata daisical. Okata
1:38:34
daisical! I like the cut of
1:38:36
your jib. So, Okata brings a
1:38:39
cherry in and of credits the
1:38:41
corpse referee, Rick knocks. So of
1:38:44
course he takes the chair away
1:38:46
dramatically turns his back and... pitches
1:38:48
it out and keeps his back
1:38:51
turned until Okada runs over, grabs
1:38:53
the championship belt, hits Brody King
1:38:55
and ahead with it, throws it
1:38:58
out, and then the referee makes
1:39:00
it obvious that he wasn't looking
1:39:03
on purpose by spinning and counting
1:39:05
immediately. Two count! The very next
1:39:07
move that happens in the match,
1:39:10
Brody King, who just got crowned
1:39:12
over the head with the title
1:39:14
belt, is up and fine, and
1:39:17
clothesline's Okata, and gives him a
1:39:19
head butt, and splashes him in
1:39:22
the corner, and runs at him,
1:39:24
and Okata jumps up and drop
1:39:26
kicks him, and then picks him
1:39:29
up, and Brody King throws a
1:39:31
clothes line, which Okata ducks and
1:39:33
hits his... shitty rainmaker rain fucking
1:39:36
maker it's the fucking it's as
1:39:38
dry as the Sahara Desert that
1:39:41
little shitty clothesline the only it
1:39:43
depends on the guy takes a
1:39:45
bump as to whether it looks
1:39:48
fake or not as to how
1:39:50
the whether he takes a decent
1:39:52
looking bump because otherwise it's the
1:39:55
shits and the drought maker drought
1:39:57
maker there you go and he
1:40:00
hit the boy you're you're just
1:40:02
I can't even snap my fingers
1:40:04
today I'm sober clamped thank you
1:40:07
sir you're right there today the
1:40:09
drought maker one two three So
1:40:11
the belt shot didn't work, Brody
1:40:14
King was fine seconds later, but
1:40:16
a shitty clothesline beat him. And
1:40:19
another way of looking at it
1:40:21
is the heel fuck didn't work,
1:40:23
so the heel just beat the
1:40:26
baby face flat right in the
1:40:28
middle of ring, one, two, three.
1:40:30
He's got Brody King has no
1:40:33
excuse. Yeah, he just beat me.
1:40:35
The fight... At least it was
1:40:38
only 12 minutes. And you brought
1:40:40
up there the hounds of hell
1:40:42
and we haven't seen them win
1:40:45
and they were repackaged They got
1:40:47
a video or two and then
1:40:49
buddy lost to Okada buddy also
1:40:52
got hurt So we don't know
1:40:54
when we're gonna see buddy again
1:40:57
If you're gonna do anything with
1:40:59
Brody King you probably don't beat
1:41:01
him right away. It's a title
1:41:04
match. I may not want to
1:41:06
do a title switch, but why
1:41:08
put him in the match then?
1:41:11
But we'll see what happens I'm
1:41:13
not as negative on Brody King
1:41:16
as you are. Not to say
1:41:18
this was a good match or
1:41:20
anything, I didn't like this match,
1:41:23
but there's something there. I think
1:41:25
there is something there. He looks
1:41:27
better now that he got a
1:41:30
tan, because with all the tattoos
1:41:32
and no tan, he looked like
1:41:35
a black and white comic strip.
1:41:37
Anyway, then, oh, all the titles
1:41:39
were on the line. Brian, this
1:41:42
was a big championship night. We
1:41:44
had the tag team title on
1:41:46
the line with the... Outriggers put
1:41:49
it magnum turbo and Floyd Floyd
1:41:51
our turbo. No, it was magnum
1:41:54
force. It was Meg. Turbo Floyd
1:41:56
and was it truth magnum? Truth
1:41:58
magnum. Truth magnum. Truth martini has
1:42:01
already filed a copyright infringement lawsuit.
1:42:03
The outriggers versus the hurt syndicate.
1:42:05
And to be honest on a
1:42:08
weeknight this was like my second
1:42:10
or third favorite match just because
1:42:13
there was no god damn thumb
1:42:15
tax or barbed wire. I mean
1:42:17
in all honesty is what Okada
1:42:20
and Brody King was was a
1:42:22
12 minute TV match and what
1:42:24
this was was an 8 minute
1:42:27
TV match and there's nothing wrong
1:42:29
with that because of everybody all
1:42:32
night the hurt syndicate came out
1:42:34
looking less silly and less weak
1:42:36
and less ineffectual. MJF didn't do
1:42:39
too badly. He gave the guy
1:42:41
the tombstone on the chair and
1:42:43
the guy got up and kicked
1:42:46
his ass for it. But obviously
1:42:48
there was no doubt that the
1:42:51
title was in jeopardy here. Shelton
1:42:53
Benjamin and Bobby Lashley would be
1:42:55
the best tag team right now
1:42:58
in the W. W. E. Because
1:43:00
think about who are that? Okay,
1:43:02
the Motor City machine guns are
1:43:05
the best working tag team in
1:43:07
the W. E. But they have
1:43:10
neither one been blessed to be
1:43:12
the size of Bobby Lashley or
1:43:14
Shelton Benjamin. And Think about it,
1:43:17
the Lucia faces, the Lucia heals,
1:43:19
the purely dreary, the Champah and
1:43:21
Gargano, Stan Lashley and Benjamin next
1:43:24
to any of these people, it
1:43:26
would be ridiculous. These guys could
1:43:29
be, if there was any decent
1:43:31
tag team competition, featured in... Main
1:43:33
events because they look legit they
1:43:36
are legit and they act like
1:43:38
stars and they don't do the
1:43:40
stupid things that everybody else on
1:43:43
his program does that makes them
1:43:45
look weak. I think Shelton Benjamin
1:43:48
had to stoog for some of
1:43:50
the foolishness of the outriggers who
1:43:52
apparently they're, well their gimmick is
1:43:55
that they're a parody of 80s
1:43:57
tag teams right? To the point
1:43:59
where they've got a VHS style
1:44:02
entrance but on this show it
1:44:04
just looks like they had video
1:44:07
trouble. You can't really tell. There
1:44:09
wasn't a single tag team in
1:44:11
the 80s that acted like them
1:44:14
or looked like them. No. And
1:44:16
that was the thing is that
1:44:18
Shelton had to stooge for some
1:44:21
of it during their comeback, but
1:44:23
basically they shined them at the
1:44:26
start without the hurts getting their
1:44:28
ass is really kicked. So they
1:44:30
gave him a little bit because
1:44:33
they have to make it some
1:44:35
kind of contest. MVP gave him
1:44:37
a pep talk and they took
1:44:40
over. They were physically dominant. Then
1:44:42
the comeback with the stupid faces
1:44:45
and the stupid acting. And then
1:44:47
the hurts took back over and
1:44:49
Shelton need both of them and
1:44:52
Lashley spared both of them. One,
1:44:54
two, three, and eight minutes. So
1:44:56
it was to get the hurt
1:44:59
syndicate over, but I just don't
1:45:01
know why even a match like
1:45:04
that has to have silliness involved.
1:45:06
But nevertheless, there we are. But
1:45:08
who, right now in tag team
1:45:11
wrestling, who would be a legitimate
1:45:13
match? entertaining match, physical match for
1:45:15
Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lash. FTR.
1:45:18
I forgot about them. The problem
1:45:20
is it'll be a really good
1:45:23
match. You just hope FTR don't
1:45:25
get on the mics. And something
1:45:27
has to be done different. It's
1:45:30
just they've gotten to a bland
1:45:32
point where as soon as they
1:45:34
come out with that music, it's
1:45:37
doesn't have the energy it had
1:45:39
a few years ago. So I
1:45:42
think it would be a good
1:45:44
match or series of matches, but
1:45:46
for it to be a feud.
1:45:49
You'd have to find a way
1:45:51
to really do something there well
1:45:53
and then they've been Yeah, that's
1:45:56
the problem. Yeah, that's the problem.
1:45:58
Well, that's the problem is that
1:46:01
Shelton and Bobby would be the
1:46:03
baby faces because people would be
1:46:05
cheering for them to beat shit
1:46:08
out of FTR because the way
1:46:10
FTR has been handled or handled
1:46:12
themselves, you know, it's terrible when
1:46:15
you mishandle yourself. Yourself seems to
1:46:17
be the person that would most
1:46:20
know how to handle you. I
1:46:22
didn't think this match was very
1:46:24
good, but if you're going to
1:46:27
do it, it should have been
1:46:29
a squash or something. Yeah. And,
1:46:31
you know, they've been on collision,
1:46:34
I guess, featured more than anywhere
1:46:36
else, but they took that. Watching
1:46:39
Shelton having the cell for them,
1:46:41
it wasn't even about look at
1:46:43
Shelton's Shaper, you know, who he
1:46:46
is, and how tough he is.
1:46:48
It just didn't look good. It
1:46:50
just didn't look right. And at
1:46:53
one point, Shelton went for the
1:46:55
knee to the guy in the
1:46:58
turnbuckle and the guy moved in.
1:47:00
So they got to do something
1:47:02
different with the hurt business and
1:47:05
this should have been a squash.
1:47:07
Because it wouldn't have hurt the
1:47:10
outrunners. That's the other thing. And
1:47:12
it hurts them if you see
1:47:14
them and imagine they don't look
1:47:17
good and it doesn't look like
1:47:19
they're ready for national TV. It
1:47:21
doesn't hurt them if the badest
1:47:24
motherfuckers in the company kill them.
1:47:26
That won't hurt them the next
1:47:29
time they come out on collision.
1:47:31
But one and done I guess.
1:47:33
Well, thankfully for that. Righty, now
1:47:36
we start getting to the part
1:47:38
that made me offended on behalf
1:47:40
of all professionals in the wrestling
1:47:43
industry. The rest of the show
1:47:45
from here was a quick dive
1:47:48
into fucking indivrific heaven. Wonderland. They
1:47:50
live to do this kind of
1:47:52
shit. And the women's title. Falls
1:47:55
County anywhere new disqualification lazybooking Maria
1:47:57
May and Tony Storm and the
1:47:59
And they have just, this
1:48:02
angle is phony bunch of
1:48:04
bullshit between these two
1:48:06
girls has just captivated
1:48:08
all of the AEW fans.
1:48:11
They have been over the moon,
1:48:13
as they would say, about Maria
1:48:15
and Tony. So of course, what
1:48:17
do they do? They decide to
1:48:20
let them have the lowest
1:48:22
class, I mean, the insane
1:48:24
clown posse, should have sponsored
1:48:26
this. This was... garbage on
1:48:29
a scale of garbage
1:48:31
matches that you don't
1:48:33
normally see. It was at
1:48:35
one minute in. Maria May
1:48:37
pulled a taser out of a
1:48:40
bouquet of flowers. But
1:48:42
Luther grabbed it fortunately.
1:48:44
Yes, he's still around. Go
1:48:47
ahead. That was Harley
1:48:49
Race's old move on
1:48:51
dates. Well, yes, that's right,
1:48:53
especially if the father answered the
1:48:56
door. He's got the flowers, he's
1:48:58
got the taser, he's ready for
1:49:00
it. Luther grabbed the taser, she
1:49:02
kicked Luther in the nuts and
1:49:04
drop-kicked him, and he
1:49:06
took a bump and went over a
1:49:08
table, but it was on the stage.
1:49:11
So when she was trying to run
1:49:13
for the drop-kick, she slipped
1:49:15
and got it off anyway
1:49:17
and landed on her fucking head.
1:49:19
And then... Tony Storm
1:49:21
power bombed Maria May off
1:49:24
the stage through a table
1:49:26
in the first minute and
1:49:28
half and got a two
1:49:31
count. And I wasn't going
1:49:33
to watch this because
1:49:35
I said, all right,
1:49:37
this is going to
1:49:39
be ridiculous or embarrassing
1:49:41
or both. And then I
1:49:44
realized. I need to see which
1:49:46
it is and how much of
1:49:48
each and it was. went
1:49:50
off the charts, it set records.
1:49:52
They did the long fight
1:49:54
on the floor. Maria Powell
1:49:56
drove Tony Storm on the
1:49:59
steel stairs. and then Tony
1:50:01
got color and she's a
1:50:03
bloody mess. And they had
1:50:05
two chairs and a logging chain
1:50:07
in the ring. But then they
1:50:10
stopped the match completely
1:50:12
so that both of them could
1:50:14
go out and get two
1:50:17
buckets of broken glass that
1:50:19
were underneath the ring and
1:50:21
put them in the ring. And
1:50:23
then sit there and watch
1:50:25
each other in opposite corners
1:50:27
of the ring, wrapping tape
1:50:29
around their fists, outside in,
1:50:32
so that the sticky part
1:50:34
is out, so they can
1:50:36
dip their fists in the broken
1:50:38
glass and start having a
1:50:40
fake boxing match. Where they duck
1:50:42
each other's punches until, oh
1:50:44
boy, Tony Storm hits Maria
1:50:47
with one of them and she
1:50:49
takes a bump and rolls out.
1:50:51
And of course the analysis
1:50:53
say, well, Tony Storm hit
1:50:55
her right in the mouth. So
1:50:58
when the camera stays off of
1:51:00
her for a year or two while
1:51:02
she gets her color on the
1:51:04
floor, then Maria rolls back in
1:51:07
and she got hit in the
1:51:09
mouth and it busted top her
1:51:11
head open. And then Tony
1:51:13
Storm dumped the buckets of
1:51:16
glass all over the ring
1:51:18
and raked a broken... a
1:51:21
fucking bottleneck over Maria's
1:51:24
head. But fortunately,
1:51:27
Maria saved herself
1:51:29
from further injury by
1:51:32
breaking a bottle over
1:51:34
Tony Storm's Pussy. Have
1:51:37
those words ever been
1:51:39
spoken before Brian?
1:51:41
Breaking a bottle
1:51:44
over Tony Storm's Pussy.
1:51:46
Maybe a cafe flesh, I'm not
1:51:48
sure, but I've never heard those terms
1:51:50
on a wrestling show, no. So they're
1:51:53
taking bumps into glass, they're
1:51:55
both covered in blood now.
1:51:57
And it wasn't as exciting as...
1:51:59
I'm making it sound, but
1:52:01
it was as distasteful and
1:52:04
low rent and fake and
1:52:06
phony look. There was a
1:52:08
pile driver on the chair.
1:52:10
Tony Storm got the shoe
1:52:12
that was sitting on a
1:52:14
silver platter at ringside that
1:52:16
Maria had beaten her with
1:52:18
the high heel shoes, so
1:52:21
she got the shoe and
1:52:23
chased Maria back up to
1:52:25
the stage where she whipped
1:52:27
her with the title belt.
1:52:29
But Maria gave... Tony, a
1:52:31
death valley driver on the
1:52:33
stage and got a two
1:52:35
count. And then there was
1:52:38
a lot of milking and
1:52:40
nothing happening. And then Tony
1:52:42
Storm, took off on Maria
1:52:44
with the shoe, hitting her
1:52:46
the head, and then gave
1:52:48
her a pile driver through
1:52:50
a table on the stage.
1:52:52
One, two, three. And Jim
1:52:55
Ross said, thank God, it's
1:52:57
over. And Amen to that.
1:52:59
from Cornette. Yeah, why did
1:53:01
they bring Jim Ross out
1:53:03
for this match? Because they
1:53:05
wanted to embarrass him. And
1:53:07
have him have to endure
1:53:09
that without saying this is
1:53:11
the phoniest, most embarrassing bullshit
1:53:14
that I've ever seen. A
1:53:16
bunch of girls doing this
1:53:18
bullshit. Nothing I have ever
1:53:20
seen has ever made wrestling
1:53:22
look faker or more low-class
1:53:24
than this. And everybody involved
1:53:26
should be ashamed to themselves.
1:53:30
Because that's what he was
1:53:32
thinking I'm sure But thank
1:53:34
God. It's over sort of
1:53:36
encapsulated that I'm I'm this
1:53:38
was It's embarrassing in a
1:53:40
way. It's In a way
1:53:42
I can't feel bad for
1:53:44
any of these people because
1:53:46
they're willingly involved in it
1:53:48
I feel bad for some
1:53:50
of the Some of the
1:53:52
other people on the show
1:53:54
that have to be on
1:53:56
the same show as this
1:53:58
kind of shit But this
1:54:00
is why that a lot
1:54:03
of people don't watch wrestling
1:54:05
anymore. It's fake and wrestling
1:54:07
used to be, they used
1:54:09
to do good taste and
1:54:11
good taste. Now it's just
1:54:13
fake and in bad taste.
1:54:15
And it's silly and it's
1:54:17
stupid. And anybody that, I
1:54:19
mean, I can't believe there's
1:54:21
as many people as this
1:54:23
in Los Angeles, 11,000 of
1:54:25
them that like this kind
1:54:27
of thing and there's. 10
1:54:29
million people in Los Angeles.
1:54:31
But God damn, even if
1:54:33
you want to see women
1:54:35
fighting and barbed wire and
1:54:37
whatever the fuck and bleeding
1:54:39
all over themselves, it's fucking
1:54:41
fake and it's an insult
1:54:43
to the wrestling business. And
1:54:46
I repeat, if they can
1:54:48
go through all this shit
1:54:50
and they're not... Fucking in
1:54:52
intensive care, then why do
1:54:54
the guys have anything to
1:54:56
worry about and what angle
1:54:58
can you possibly do to
1:55:00
the human body to make
1:55:02
anybody care about anything ever
1:55:04
again? Tell me what you
1:55:06
think, Brian. This was a
1:55:08
match that it seemed like
1:55:10
it divided a lot of
1:55:12
the people that watched the
1:55:14
show, and I kind of
1:55:16
had that myself. There were
1:55:18
elements that I enjoyed for
1:55:20
the wrong reasons, which may
1:55:22
be a trend for me
1:55:24
with some of the things
1:55:27
on this show. Because it
1:55:29
was ridiculous. Like I imagined
1:55:31
I would sit here with
1:55:33
friends if I asked anyone
1:55:35
to come over for an
1:55:37
AW paper view. If you
1:55:39
had any friends and laugh
1:55:41
about what we were seeing.
1:55:43
I wouldn't sit there really
1:55:45
into a match. I'd be
1:55:47
laughing about how ridiculous it
1:55:49
was. Maybe I'm in the
1:55:51
minority. I don't know. I
1:55:53
don't like seeing the women
1:55:55
bleed. And this was maybe
1:55:57
the most amount of blood
1:55:59
I've ever seen in a
1:56:01
women's match. And Tony Storm
1:56:03
is as white as they
1:56:05
get and her whole face
1:56:07
was covered in blood. Oh,
1:56:10
she's translucent. So, again, the
1:56:12
spectacle of it, and I
1:56:14
think a lot of this
1:56:16
is the whole ironic wrestling
1:56:18
fan, the people who like
1:56:20
Orange Cassidy, the people that
1:56:22
were getting behind the outrunners,
1:56:24
they, maybe more than anyone
1:56:26
else, have gotten into the
1:56:28
Tony Storm stick, and Mariah
1:56:30
May. Mariah May does a
1:56:32
good job, whatever they give
1:56:34
her. But this was a
1:56:36
spectacle that I didn't really
1:56:38
like, but I got a
1:56:40
kick out of it at
1:56:42
parts. but I thought it
1:56:44
was too much blood for
1:56:46
me. I don't want to
1:56:48
see women's matches, you know,
1:56:50
that hit the moota scale.
1:56:53
That doesn't do it for
1:56:55
me. And more offensive to
1:56:57
me is your first point
1:56:59
in that in days gone
1:57:01
by, depending on how the
1:57:03
people watched the matches, whether
1:57:05
it was having to go
1:57:07
live or then television came
1:57:09
into being and then pay-per-view,
1:57:11
if people went... live together
1:57:13
or watch TV or paper
1:57:15
view or what the big
1:57:17
show together. They watch the
1:57:19
matches to get excited and
1:57:21
to see, oh shit, and
1:57:23
you had to see their
1:57:25
guy fucking win. Now it's
1:57:27
a bunch of jackoffs sitting
1:57:29
around watching it to laugh
1:57:31
at it. And these idiots
1:57:33
that are involved in the
1:57:36
in the business now are
1:57:38
willingly trying to cripple themselves
1:57:40
to do something that they
1:57:42
know their audience is getting
1:57:44
together to laugh at. I
1:57:46
mean, sure, people laughed at
1:57:48
me when they thought someone
1:57:50
had killed me because they
1:57:52
wanted to see me dead.
1:57:54
They went crazy over the
1:57:56
fucking matches because we we
1:57:58
created a an emotion in
1:58:00
them where they desperately wanted
1:58:02
to see. Their hero win
1:58:04
and defeat us at all
1:58:06
cost and that was the
1:58:08
emotional roller coaster they went
1:58:10
on until finally they got
1:58:12
what they came for they
1:58:14
yes but nobody ever came
1:58:17
just to fucking laugh at
1:58:19
the silliness and the fakiness
1:58:21
of it and if they
1:58:23
had I think I would
1:58:25
have been too embarrassed to
1:58:27
be doing it and we
1:58:29
were legitimately doing everything we
1:58:31
could not to really fucking
1:58:33
paralyze each other but these
1:58:35
morons. are doing almost everything
1:58:37
they can to end up
1:58:39
in intensive care for people
1:58:41
to fucking laugh at the
1:58:43
silliness of it all. I
1:58:45
cannot, I'm offended as a
1:58:47
professional. Anyway, would you like
1:58:49
to move on? It's only
1:58:51
up from here, maybe. Oh
1:58:53
no, there's still, how low
1:58:55
can you go? We
1:58:58
got the intercontinental title on
1:59:00
the line with our boy
1:59:02
take a shit and his
1:59:04
manager Don Fallis going up
1:59:06
against Kenny It's Kenny Kenny's
1:59:08
back And I wrote at
1:59:11
the bell. I really don't
1:59:13
want to see any more
1:59:15
this show after the last
1:59:17
match Maybe these two young
1:59:19
well one young and one
1:59:21
middle-aged Whipper Snappers will get
1:59:23
me into this and they
1:59:26
started by trading forearms. And
1:59:28
then they did a long
1:59:30
exchange on the floor. It's
1:59:32
the same shit. It's like
1:59:34
if you write bullet points,
1:59:36
which I do, it's the
1:59:38
same shit. They traded fake
1:59:41
forearms. They have a long
1:59:43
exchange on the floor. If
1:59:47
all they do is imitate
1:59:49
shit, why can't they imitate
1:59:51
a match from the 80s
1:59:53
or 90s instead of some
1:59:55
of this fake bullshit we
1:59:57
get these days? And then
1:59:59
take gut. heat on Kenny,
2:00:01
but it's, there's no incredible
2:00:03
turning point of momentum where
2:00:05
the heel cheats to gain
2:00:07
an advantage and then gets
2:00:09
aggressively on the fucking opponent
2:00:11
taking advantage of his opportunity
2:00:13
while it's available to him,
2:00:15
it's just his turn to
2:00:17
be in charge. It's not
2:00:19
like either one of these
2:00:21
guys are working baby face
2:00:23
or heel. They do the
2:00:25
same kind of moves, and
2:00:27
they do the same kind
2:00:29
of things. But at least
2:00:31
take as a manager. So
2:00:33
at one point, he interfered
2:00:35
when Kenny was on the
2:00:37
floor and punched him a
2:00:39
few times and then killed
2:00:41
the heat by turning around
2:00:43
and hurting his hand on
2:00:45
the punch and selling the
2:00:48
hand for the camera and
2:00:50
mugging. The yes, that is
2:00:52
a manager spot. You don't
2:00:54
do it during your guy's
2:00:56
heat that he's trying to
2:00:58
get. And it's
2:01:00
the same, again, description that
2:01:02
I give the other match
2:01:04
earlier, or gave the other
2:01:06
match earlier, fake strikes and
2:01:08
rotten basics in between moves
2:01:10
that nobody could ever kick
2:01:12
out of. And they just
2:01:14
take turns with it. And
2:01:16
it was seven minutes in,
2:01:18
take a shit, pulled out
2:01:20
a table, and took a
2:01:22
while to set it up,
2:01:24
but they avoided it for
2:01:26
a while, they came back
2:01:28
to it later. Meanwhile it
2:01:30
was just sitting there at
2:01:32
ringside in the way and
2:01:34
nobody ever bothered to take
2:01:36
it down. I mean they're
2:01:38
doing rolling fireman's carries on
2:01:40
the floor and Kenny took
2:01:42
a bump on the railing
2:01:44
but now at this point
2:01:46
we were nine matches and
2:01:48
almost four hours in counting
2:01:51
the pre-show and the crowd
2:01:53
is eh and they grab
2:01:55
a long hold. And
2:01:58
then they kick it up after
2:02:00
a while Kenny goes for a
2:02:02
die but Don grabs his foot
2:02:04
at least again the manager interfering
2:02:06
even though he's doing commentary and
2:02:08
he gets up from the announced
2:02:11
desk to do the interfering so
2:02:13
you kind of see it coming
2:02:15
and take clotheslines Kenny over the
2:02:17
top and gives him a German
2:02:19
on the floor and they milk
2:02:22
a spot with the table but
2:02:24
Kenny comes out of the thing
2:02:26
and Kenny turns the table over
2:02:28
and the fans start booing him.
2:02:30
The baby face they're booing him
2:02:32
because They think he's going to
2:02:35
take their furniture spot away That's
2:02:37
where these idiots the position they
2:02:39
have put themselves in Where it
2:02:41
doesn't matter whether you're one of
2:02:43
the biggest baby face in a
2:02:46
company Or one of the biggest
2:02:48
heels if you do a spot
2:02:50
with furniture. They're going to cheer
2:02:52
you And if you they think
2:02:54
you're going to take it away
2:02:56
from them they're going to boo
2:02:59
you because they don't care about
2:03:01
you. Yes, I'm talking about you,
2:03:03
not the cult of Cornell, not
2:03:05
the listeners out there. I'm talking
2:03:07
about the AEW roster, many of
2:03:10
whom are listeners. You, you dumb
2:03:12
shits, you have all caused this
2:03:14
because you think that you are
2:03:16
characters in a video game or
2:03:18
you are doing some kind of
2:03:20
live action underground movie in one
2:03:23
take. I got
2:03:25
news for you. Tarantino ain't gonna
2:03:27
pick you up. But you've created
2:03:29
a situation for yourselves where you've
2:03:32
made your jobs ridiculously harder than
2:03:34
they already were, because you can't
2:03:36
fucking control yourselves. You do too
2:03:39
much, and you do too much
2:03:41
shit that doesn't make sense. And
2:03:43
that's why nobody cares about you.
2:03:46
And they just want to see
2:03:48
the next stunt. And if you
2:03:50
botch the stunt, it looks bad,
2:03:53
they'll say you fucked up. But
2:03:55
if you botch the stunt, it
2:03:57
looks dangerous because it... breaks your
2:04:00
fucking leg, they'll go holy shit!
2:04:02
In your fucking broken leg won't
2:04:04
feel any better, you blithering simpletons.
2:04:07
So then, with the table upside
2:04:09
down, Brian, and the legs sticking
2:04:11
up. Now bear in mind Harley
2:04:14
raced it took so many table
2:04:16
bumps He finally took the bad
2:04:18
one and it perforated his intestine
2:04:21
and led to the end of
2:04:23
his career and he had to
2:04:25
have surgery But with the legs
2:04:28
sticking up take a shit goes
2:04:30
to give Kenny a Gord Buster
2:04:32
onto the legs well he tried
2:04:34
for the legs and kind of
2:04:37
missed so he just dropped him
2:04:39
On the table flat so then
2:04:41
he turned the table up sideways
2:04:44
and dropped him ribs first on
2:04:46
the edge of the table But
2:04:50
in between stunts the pace was
2:04:52
glacial. As they were trading forearms
2:04:54
like they were almost dead and
2:04:56
then going into the running spots
2:04:58
where they're hitting the ropes. And
2:05:00
then more moves. And then take
2:05:02
a shed one up to the
2:05:04
top rope and they're fighting on
2:05:06
the top rope and take a
2:05:08
shed. Stood on a
2:05:10
second rope bent over holding on
2:05:12
to the top turnbuckle staying stock
2:05:15
still for 10 seconds until Kenny
2:05:17
could jump up on a top
2:05:19
and power bomb him off up.
2:05:21
Then I wrote, this will not
2:05:24
end. Just like this review. And
2:05:26
then take a shit, did a
2:05:28
tombstone on him, but held on
2:05:30
and stood up and gave him
2:05:33
a leaping tombstone and got a
2:05:35
two count. And then he
2:05:37
hit him with a knee lift and
2:05:39
got a two count. Then he hit
2:05:41
him with another knee lift and he
2:05:43
got a one count. And I got
2:05:46
to say for the people in the
2:05:48
building they loved this phony horse shit.
2:05:50
And they went back and forth again
2:05:52
until Kenny hit a shitty pile driver
2:05:54
that he didn't fucking have his god
2:05:56
damn wait or have control of where
2:05:58
he was going. I don't know. What
2:06:00
the fuck? He just grabbed him by
2:06:02
the back end of the tights and
2:06:04
hoped for the best. I don't know
2:06:07
what was going on there. Two count.
2:06:09
And then Moore. And then Kenny
2:06:11
went for a roll-up. But Don
2:06:13
was holding Take's hand so
2:06:15
Kenny kicked Don's hand off
2:06:18
and went for the one-winged
2:06:20
ferry. But Take slipped out
2:06:22
of that and they jockeyed
2:06:24
for position. back and
2:06:26
forth until Kenny rolled
2:06:28
take-up with a crucifix
2:06:31
and got a two count
2:06:33
and then rolled through with the
2:06:35
same exact thing without
2:06:38
him getting to his feet
2:06:40
and got a three count. A
2:06:42
roll-up! Twice in a row,
2:06:44
after every homicidal
2:06:47
move known to man that had
2:06:49
negligible effect on
2:06:52
these cretans. 30
2:06:54
fucking minutes and
2:06:56
he wins this bogus
2:06:59
belt with a
2:07:01
fucking roll-up that he
2:07:03
had to do twice. Your
2:07:05
thoughts. I'm sorry to tell
2:07:08
you I enjoyed the match,
2:07:10
but again with AW I
2:07:12
get to a point where
2:07:15
I understand it's...
2:07:17
It's not logical wrestling, it's every single
2:07:19
match is its own unique thing where
2:07:21
they can kick out of anything and
2:07:23
do everything and Then the next match will
2:07:26
do the same. I got to a point where I
2:07:28
was delirious with this show and I
2:07:30
started enjoying a lot of things for the
2:07:32
wrong reasons But I like this match. Here's
2:07:34
a question for you We were told Kenny
2:07:37
Omega had diverticulitis surgery. Where
2:07:39
does that happen? Where would the
2:07:41
scar be? I didn't see a scar? That's
2:07:43
what I was looking for Well, that's a
2:07:45
good question. I wonder it's the intestines,
2:07:47
right? They would what yes? It's the
2:07:49
intestines Well, but now there's there's two
2:07:51
things number one is this one of the
2:07:53
things they can do with a scope these days
2:07:56
rather than a long incision and number two is
2:07:58
something like that they go up through your asshole?
2:08:00
I mean they might have had
2:08:02
a more unobstructed path that way
2:08:04
with Kenny. I don't know. If
2:08:06
anyone knows let us know. I
2:08:08
was thinking that you know they
2:08:11
were selling his gut he was
2:08:13
holding his gut the whole time
2:08:15
we take that spot on the
2:08:17
table. But where's the if he
2:08:19
had surgery where would the scar
2:08:21
be? Where's the scar be? But
2:08:23
you know what they're they're missing
2:08:26
an opportunity he should wear some
2:08:28
kind of midsection brace on a
2:08:30
regular basis and maybe have a
2:08:32
big red target. Bullsey printed on
2:08:34
it so that the heels would
2:08:36
know what to attack. Well, it
2:08:38
seemed like they may have known.
2:08:40
Don Calus is a manager. The
2:08:43
idea that he goes from commentary
2:08:45
to interfering in a comical way,
2:08:47
even though you're not supposed to
2:08:49
see him as a comical heel
2:08:51
manager. What are your thoughts on
2:08:53
that? You know, I did... I
2:08:55
did commentary as people... can readily
2:08:57
see on YouTube in the TBS
2:09:00
studio when the Midnight Express was
2:09:02
wrestling job guys and I would
2:09:04
because it was 10 or 15
2:09:06
feet I would wander back and
2:09:08
forth between ringside and talking to
2:09:10
the announcers and keep a running
2:09:12
commentary in some cases trying to
2:09:14
make some of those job matches
2:09:17
a little bit more palatable on
2:09:19
Saturday mornings and getting the issue
2:09:21
across. But if it was a
2:09:23
serious... competitive match, I didn't do
2:09:25
that. I was at ringside and
2:09:27
I was there when I was
2:09:29
needed. And if you're gonna have
2:09:32
your guys in a main event
2:09:34
match where there's a chance they
2:09:36
may win or a chance they
2:09:38
may lose, it seems like you'd
2:09:40
be at ringside to voting your
2:09:42
full attention to that. And if
2:09:44
you're gonna interfere, I can understand
2:09:46
him doing it. It was he
2:09:49
did it twice. You don't get
2:09:51
get up from a hold on
2:09:53
it. My spot's coming up to
2:09:55
interfere And then get back down
2:09:57
and just sit down and put
2:09:59
a headset on again. It just
2:10:01
it's comical everything is played for
2:10:03
laughs or with a wink at
2:10:06
everybody or a nod or tongue
2:10:08
and cheek as they say or
2:10:10
yuck yuck and it's just all
2:10:12
the again these guys they dress
2:10:14
up like their characters in their
2:10:16
fantasy video games where they are
2:10:18
someone and they go out there
2:10:21
and they defy every law of
2:10:23
logic and common sense and everything's
2:10:25
played for laughs which is played
2:10:27
for laughs which their crowd gets
2:10:30
together to fucking laugh at them.
2:10:32
But the damage they're doing to
2:10:34
themselves and the wrestling business in
2:10:37
general is legitimate. That's real. And
2:10:39
if you see the WWE these
2:10:41
days, and you'd never seen wrestling
2:10:44
before, you're a younger person or
2:10:46
you just hadn't ever cared or
2:10:49
paid attention, I can see where
2:10:51
you would start to get caught
2:10:53
up in what the WME is
2:10:56
doing. And or the the the
2:10:58
guys their personalities what they're saying
2:11:00
the whole thing I get this
2:11:03
there's movie stars involved I can
2:11:05
see Where you know you would
2:11:08
get involved in that as a
2:11:10
fan and with this stuff I
2:11:12
can see where you would watch
2:11:15
it to say let fucking wrestling
2:11:17
It's fake. It's silly. It's phony.
2:11:19
It's in bad taste and look
2:11:22
at these fucking Ragged
2:11:24
tags, scragly looking fucking wrestlers.
2:11:26
Half of them looked like
2:11:28
they ought to be in
2:11:31
god damn elementary school. And
2:11:33
it would turn you off
2:11:35
from giving anything else a
2:11:37
try. So I'm... I'm sorry.
2:11:40
That's what I thought. Jim,
2:11:42
you know what that means?
2:11:44
It's time for the double
2:11:46
main event, or was it
2:11:49
a double main event? Well...
2:11:51
Two more big matches on
2:11:53
this big, big show. Yeah,
2:11:55
there were there were two
2:11:58
more two more big main
2:12:00
events Okay, I'm going to
2:12:02
try to give some unbiased
2:12:04
and honest criticism. And if
2:12:07
people don't want to hear
2:12:09
it, some people may not
2:12:11
want to hear it. That's
2:12:14
their problem. That's their fault.
2:12:16
I'm just offering it. Without
2:12:18
trying to charge for it
2:12:20
or anything. Will Osprey and
2:12:23
old Kyle Felcher. There are
2:12:25
good things about both these
2:12:27
guys. And let's go with
2:12:29
Kyle first. He is physically
2:12:32
looking amazing. I mean, he
2:12:34
has probably been doing calisthenics
2:12:36
in his sleep since he
2:12:38
got this spot. He's got
2:12:41
the size. He's still so
2:12:43
young. He needs some fucking
2:12:45
hair. And I don't know
2:12:47
if the pippy long stocking
2:12:50
kind of thing he had
2:12:52
before they shaved it off
2:12:54
was the answer, but he
2:12:56
needs some kind of hair.
2:13:00
You know, he's still finding his
2:13:02
personality. But he's a tremendous athlete
2:13:04
and he can do a lot
2:13:06
of these moves. I don't know
2:13:09
anything whether he's trainable or coachable.
2:13:11
He seems like a person who's
2:13:13
working his ass off. So it
2:13:16
would seem like he is. I
2:13:18
think he's probably being trained and
2:13:20
coached by the wrong people. Is
2:13:23
the promo said, the voice, the
2:13:25
accent. V. V. grows
2:13:27
up and gets a little
2:13:29
older and gets a little
2:13:31
based his voice and some
2:13:33
more conviction and just oomph
2:13:35
to him. You know, have
2:13:38
I said enough good things
2:13:40
about Kyle? Is that an
2:13:42
honest appraisal in your opinion?
2:13:44
I think you're giving an
2:13:46
honest appraisal here. You're not
2:13:48
just ripping him for no
2:13:50
reason or anything? Yeah. Will
2:13:52
Osprey. Again is the top
2:13:54
baby face pretty much in
2:13:56
a company. that's, you know,
2:13:58
consistently appreciating. by the people
2:14:01
and they don't have him
2:14:03
turned on him yet. He's
2:14:05
very athletic. Same thing. It
2:14:07
doesn't look as good as
2:14:09
cow physically, but he's very
2:14:11
athletic and he looks fine
2:14:13
physically and he may be
2:14:15
getting older in wrestler years,
2:14:17
but he still looks like
2:14:19
a young guy and he's
2:14:22
got the curly hair and
2:14:24
he's got fire and enthusiasm
2:14:26
and he's a snazzy baby
2:14:28
face when he works the
2:14:30
same thing I said about.
2:14:32
Ricochet and Swerve when Osprey
2:14:34
works with somebody who's a
2:14:36
worker who's not going to
2:14:38
compete with him in the
2:14:40
fucking uneven parallel bars, then
2:14:42
Osprey becomes the snazzy young
2:14:45
baby face using these wild
2:14:47
unorthodox moves and escapes and
2:14:49
flips backwards to counter that
2:14:51
you don't normally see as
2:14:53
a part of the match
2:14:55
to... To outdo the fucking
2:14:57
guy who may be bigger
2:14:59
or meaner or more powerful
2:15:01
then it becomes a story
2:15:03
of the thing instead of
2:15:06
just flipping about because you
2:15:08
can do it you're in
2:15:10
a video game He's one
2:15:12
of those guys if he's
2:15:14
got somebody like that Then
2:15:16
he can use it to
2:15:18
his advantage And he's got
2:15:20
the the unfortunate speaking voice
2:15:22
and the accent, but if
2:15:24
Again, if he's trainable and
2:15:26
coachable, not in the moves,
2:15:29
but in the psychology of
2:15:31
wrestling and in promos, a
2:15:33
professional organization, aka the W.W.E.,
2:15:35
would slow him down a
2:15:37
little bit in some of
2:15:39
the promos where people can
2:15:41
underfuggen stand him, not having
2:15:43
drawn on endlessly about shit
2:15:45
that only the most die-hard
2:15:47
internet mark even knows what
2:15:50
he's talking about and make
2:15:52
it part of his... Bubbly
2:15:54
European personality. There's all things
2:15:56
that could be tweaked. But
2:15:58
they both of them... need
2:16:00
somebody to fucking book them
2:16:02
because left to their own
2:16:04
devices which had to be
2:16:06
what this was it was
2:16:08
every wrestler indie wrestler's fucking
2:16:11
wet dream combined with a
2:16:13
part of this match that
2:16:15
if it was presented in
2:16:17
any wrestling territory anywhere in
2:16:19
wrestling At one point in
2:16:21
time it would have led
2:16:23
to a riot, not a
2:16:25
riot, a good riot like
2:16:27
the fans are mad at
2:16:29
the heel, but a bad
2:16:31
riot, like we want our
2:16:34
fucking money back, and this
2:16:36
is bullshit, and it killed
2:16:38
the town. But now because
2:16:40
in part, this is the
2:16:42
audience we talked about, the
2:16:44
watches to laugh at bullshit,
2:16:46
in part because there's so
2:16:48
much of that that people
2:16:50
just roll their eyes at
2:16:52
it. You know, people
2:16:54
just overlook this type of thing,
2:16:57
but the psychology is there for
2:16:59
normal folks that they don't get
2:17:01
it and they don't want to
2:17:04
get it. It turns people to
2:17:06
fuck off. Now that I've prefaced,
2:17:08
I will start explaining in granular
2:17:11
detail, Brian, are you with me?
2:17:13
Maybe not. I'm with you in
2:17:15
terms of listening to your assessment
2:17:18
of them, yeah. I mean, are
2:17:20
you with me as far as...
2:17:22
break this thing down here. Well
2:17:25
let me just say this was
2:17:27
one of the most god damn.
2:17:29
This is the matches I've ever
2:17:31
seen. You know we make fun
2:17:34
of Owens and Zane for always
2:17:36
want to do their indie stuff.
2:17:38
This was like the Ulysses. This
2:17:41
was this was Owens and Zane
2:17:43
if they were 15 years younger
2:17:45
and ever either one of them
2:17:48
had a good physique. I'd be
2:17:50
amazed. I mean it would be
2:17:52
amazing if these guys weren't really
2:17:55
badly banged up after this because
2:17:57
They did a lot of highly
2:17:59
physical stuff that could have been
2:18:01
the finish, and then they kept
2:18:04
going. This was like an event
2:18:06
with one match, except the... other
2:18:08
matches because they did everything you
2:18:11
could ever possibly do in this
2:18:13
match yes yes every every you
2:18:15
pretty much seen it this was
2:18:18
the over and over it just
2:18:20
went on and on how long
2:18:22
was it it was hold on
2:18:25
I've got the notes here I
2:18:27
don't know how many pages oh
2:18:29
there's the screwdrivers wait oh hold
2:18:32
on it's a 30 minutes bell
2:18:34
to bell plus the entrances and
2:18:36
then they meandered around a little
2:18:38
bit So, let's, let's, first of
2:18:41
all, they said it was Osprey's
2:18:43
first cage match. He's been wrestling
2:18:45
15 years or whatever the fuck,
2:18:48
he's never had a cage match.
2:18:50
How I get, well, he never
2:18:52
worked for anybody could afford a
2:18:55
cage before. I said, did you
2:18:57
think my assessment of Osprey was
2:18:59
fair? Halfway, legitimate. Yeah, I mean,
2:19:02
a lot of people think he's
2:19:04
the very best, the most spectacular
2:19:06
in the world, but I think
2:19:08
in terms of fitting into a
2:19:11
system beyond just do what you
2:19:13
like, your assessment was very fair.
2:19:15
Okay, well, they started out, and
2:19:18
you could almost say, well, for
2:19:20
the first two minutes, they're trying
2:19:22
to, I guess, slow this thing
2:19:25
down and paste themselves. I said,
2:19:27
they looked like they're paced themselves
2:19:29
for a long match, which, again,
2:19:32
for a cage match, comain event.
2:19:34
should be. But people have seen
2:19:36
11 matches in four and a
2:19:38
half hours so far. But then
2:19:41
boom! Suddenly they started opening up
2:19:43
and Osprey by five minutes in
2:19:45
is bleeding like a stuck hog.
2:19:48
And I wrote, why did they
2:19:50
let the girls do it first?
2:19:52
If you're going to have a
2:19:55
cage match with this big grudge
2:19:57
between what are your top young
2:19:59
heels in your... Top baby face
2:20:02
and They're going to be bleeding
2:20:04
and they're going to be doing
2:20:06
all this stuff too mad before
2:20:09
you have girls bleeding no selling
2:20:11
pile drivers and rolling around and
2:20:13
broken glass. So the Osprey and
2:20:15
Kyle they worked hard their shit
2:20:18
looks good when they do their
2:20:20
their things but in between the
2:20:22
chops or the stunts or anything
2:20:25
that's a big bump or makes
2:20:27
noise the crowd was nodding. Or
2:20:30
just I don't know if they
2:20:32
were nodding or just sitting there
2:20:34
staring at it, but everything had
2:20:36
been done And I think I
2:20:38
wrote even I would have liked
2:20:41
this a lot better two hours
2:20:43
ago Because they were at least
2:20:45
somewhat athletic and nobody had Jump
2:20:47
the shark yet and then Kyle
2:20:49
took one of the turnbuckle pads
2:20:51
off But Osprey dropped him face
2:20:53
first on it and then boomerangued
2:20:56
him into the cage and Boy
2:20:58
that was nice and then the
2:21:00
camera was off cow forever while
2:21:02
he got his color which I
2:21:04
understand now that they're so shell-shocked
2:21:06
by what they've done with Moxley
2:21:09
where he just cuts himself in
2:21:11
front of God and everybody but
2:21:13
there's people that have completed a
2:21:15
gallbladder operation in less time than
2:21:17
they keep the fucking camera off
2:21:19
these guys. But then they go
2:21:21
back and forth with the big
2:21:24
moves and in between everybody will
2:21:26
lay a mobile. And
2:21:29
then they exchanged kicks to
2:21:31
the head deal of where
2:21:33
they grabbed the guy Brian
2:21:36
By the back of the
2:21:38
head and bend him over
2:21:40
and then rapid fire and
2:21:42
very lightly Kick at the
2:21:45
area of the guy's head
2:21:47
and say that they're kicking
2:21:49
him in the head Yeah,
2:21:51
what do they call that?
2:21:54
Besides fake No, no, no,
2:21:56
it's it's it's it's it's
2:21:58
some Japanese guy Oh, did
2:22:00
it? I assume maybe he did it
2:22:03
better. That's why people have
2:22:05
stolen it. It's, it's, it's
2:22:07
ridiculous. They, they're not, not
2:22:10
only are they not kicking
2:22:12
with any force and they're
2:22:14
doing it quick, quick, quick
2:22:17
like that to the guy's
2:22:19
forehead while he's bending over
2:22:22
not registering the kicks and.
2:22:24
If somebody had me by one
2:22:26
hand in my hair and had me
2:22:29
bent over at the waist, it was
2:22:31
kicking me in the head, first
2:22:33
thing I'd think of, do, maybe
2:22:35
try to block that fucking leg.
2:22:37
Or maybe just sit down
2:22:40
and get away from it
2:22:42
completely, but they're just leaning
2:22:44
there and they're not cow-wifting,
2:22:47
missed completely. And
2:22:50
then Osprey hit him with a
2:22:52
forearm that actually looked good. That
2:22:55
was one for the night. Looked
2:22:57
like he was knocked his dick stiff.
2:22:59
But then they either, again, they
2:23:01
do the big moves where they're
2:23:03
so athletic and they do simple
2:23:05
shit where it looks so phony.
2:23:07
And then here comes Mark Davis
2:23:10
out with a duffel bag,
2:23:12
not his voluminous bulbous ass, but
2:23:14
a separate bag of duffel. And
2:23:17
he pulls bolt cutters out of
2:23:19
it. And he cuts the lock
2:23:21
and gets in the cage in
2:23:24
front of multiple referees. And this
2:23:26
is what I was talking about
2:23:28
earlier. This is what would have
2:23:30
killed a town. Yes, you've always
2:23:33
seen a heel somehow get the cage
2:23:35
or come through the floor of
2:23:37
the thing or slam the door
2:23:39
behind him and lock it so
2:23:41
that the referees can't get in
2:23:43
or whatever and do an
2:23:45
angle. at the end of a match
2:23:47
where it's quick and it's chaos so
2:23:49
people are trying to stop it but
2:23:51
they're saying oh it's no disqualification
2:23:53
so it's it because it's a
2:23:56
cage match so we can't do
2:23:58
anything that is what people would
2:24:00
have said bullshit. The heat would
2:24:02
have, if the referees are standing
2:24:04
there watching a guy, cut to
2:24:07
lock off the cage, get in
2:24:09
the cage, start helping another guy,
2:24:11
if the referees are not trying
2:24:14
to do anything about it, then
2:24:16
that means that they, by proxy,
2:24:18
they approve of it. And that's
2:24:20
what would have caused people that
2:24:23
wanted to see their fucking hero
2:24:25
win. And as we've covered many
2:24:27
times on this program, many of
2:24:29
them were willing to get in
2:24:32
the ring and help, they're sitting
2:24:34
at just the average ticket buying
2:24:36
fan. If they watched that, they
2:24:39
would say, well, fuck this promotion.
2:24:41
There are the, my guy is
2:24:43
never going to get a fucking
2:24:45
break. I'm not coming anymore. It
2:24:48
would have killed a fucking town.
2:24:50
You just can't do it. He
2:24:52
gets in the ring, slides a
2:24:55
chair in, hands or he didn't
2:24:57
get in the ring then. He
2:24:59
slid the chair in and handed
2:25:01
in the duffel bag and then
2:25:04
Osprey slammed the door on his
2:25:06
head. So he's down at the
2:25:08
step more on him in a
2:25:10
minute. Then Osprey gets out of
2:25:13
the duffel bag a baseball bat
2:25:15
wrapped in barbed wire and hits
2:25:17
Kyle in the stomach and in
2:25:20
the back and then starts raking
2:25:22
it across his face. Okay.
2:25:27
You've got a baseball bat,
2:25:29
much less wrapped in barbed
2:25:31
wire, in a fucking fight
2:25:34
with a guy. How is
2:25:36
he gonna come back from
2:25:38
you just hit him twice
2:25:41
and why are you raking
2:25:43
his fat? Just hit him
2:25:46
in the head. You've won,
2:25:48
right there. No, no, no
2:25:50
problem. But no, Felcher begs
2:25:53
off an Osprey milks it.
2:25:56
And Kyle puts his old
2:25:58
armband on. They're the logo
2:26:01
of their old tag team,
2:26:03
the undisputed king of the
2:26:05
eras of the generation. I
2:26:07
don't know what the fuck
2:26:10
they were, the empirical data.
2:26:12
Cal puts his old armband
2:26:14
on, but Will gives him
2:26:16
the finger and swings the
2:26:19
bat and Cal hits Will
2:26:21
and the balls and Will
2:26:23
drops the bat and Will
2:26:26
drops the bat and... They
2:26:29
go another 11 minutes. I
2:26:31
don't want to spoil anything. But
2:26:33
baby face, head the fucking
2:26:35
heel, it's fucked him around, down
2:26:37
bleeding and had a barbed wire
2:26:40
wrapped baseball bat in his
2:26:42
hands and it took him another
2:26:44
11 minutes to beat this motherfucker.
2:26:47
What a god damn feckless
2:26:49
pussy! They have drawn the picture
2:26:51
to make this guy out
2:26:53
to be. So Kyle then...
2:26:55
Took the armband off wiped his
2:26:57
blood all over it and
2:26:59
stuck it in Osprey's mouth And
2:27:02
then he picked the bat
2:27:04
up and swung it and
2:27:06
missed and Osprey hit the fucking
2:27:08
elbow And another big move
2:27:10
and covered him And that's where
2:27:13
Mark Davis came in the ring
2:27:15
and made to say and
2:27:17
Davis by the way now is
2:27:19
bleeding too. So why did
2:27:21
they fucking let the girls
2:27:23
do that horse shit? The
2:27:27
torture porn segment of the
2:27:29
program So now all these
2:27:31
stupid fuckers Are all bleeding.
2:27:33
They've all had Possession of
2:27:35
a baseball bat none of
2:27:37
them can win the fucking
2:27:39
fight And then what happened
2:27:41
to the baseball bat after
2:27:43
that Brian? Do you remember
2:27:45
seeing what happened to the
2:27:47
baseball bat? I believe the
2:27:49
referees took it in the
2:27:51
back and checked it for
2:27:53
Cork It, uh, I
2:27:55
think you know, maybe you might
2:27:58
be right because I don't. I
2:28:01
don't see any other notes of
2:28:03
use of the baseball, so they
2:28:05
just decided to start having a
2:28:07
fight without the bat now that
2:28:09
they've had the bat. The bat
2:28:11
was just a conduit to get
2:28:13
the barbed wire in the ring.
2:28:16
You focus too much on the
2:28:18
bat. The bat was almost like
2:28:20
a barbed wire holder to bring
2:28:22
a barbed wire. The bat was
2:28:24
the McGuffin. That's right. So Davis
2:28:26
made a save and got to
2:28:28
sleeper on Osprey and then just
2:28:31
dropped him. And both heels, Davis
2:28:33
and Kyle went to double team
2:28:35
Osprey, but he came out of
2:28:37
it and whacked Davis with the
2:28:39
chair and then kicked him out
2:28:41
of the cage and closed the
2:28:43
door. But they'd cut the lock
2:28:46
off, so I guess now we're
2:28:48
on the honor system. And then
2:28:50
Osprey hit a Cody cutter on
2:28:52
Kyle off the side of the
2:28:54
cage and got a two count.
2:28:58
And we continue. And Osprey
2:29:00
wraps barbed wire around his
2:29:03
own arm. And for all
2:29:05
you southern boys out there
2:29:07
who have had extensive experience
2:29:09
with barbed wire, stringing barbed
2:29:11
wire, trying to climb over
2:29:14
barbed wire, imagine what a
2:29:16
stupid son of a bitch
2:29:18
you'd have to be to
2:29:20
wrap it around your own
2:29:22
arm and hit somebody with
2:29:25
it. But he did it.
2:29:27
Oh, he had that bat.
2:29:29
See, that would have solved
2:29:31
everything. He wraps the barbed
2:29:33
wire around his own arm
2:29:36
and he chases Kyle to
2:29:38
the top of the cage
2:29:40
and they get set down
2:29:42
on the top of the
2:29:44
cage, but Kyle has pulled
2:29:47
out a screwdriver, a bright
2:29:49
fluorescent colored screwdriver, and Kyle
2:29:51
stabs Osprey in the head
2:29:53
with the screwdriver. And
2:29:57
then he gets down and
2:29:59
he stabs him in the
2:30:01
head with the screwdriver twice
2:30:03
more and then he gives
2:30:06
him a brainbuster and then
2:30:08
he gives him a brainbuster
2:30:10
on a steel chair cover
2:30:12
two count what the then
2:30:14
Kyle gets back in the
2:30:16
duffel bag which now resembled
2:30:18
like a magician's fucking thing
2:30:21
where he's pulling a fucking
2:30:23
god damn battleship out of
2:30:25
a hat and he dumps
2:30:27
out ten thousand thumb tax
2:30:30
More fake kicks to
2:30:32
the head in the
2:30:34
manner and style in
2:30:36
which I described earlier.
2:30:39
And he whipped those
2:30:41
two. And then Osprey
2:30:43
rolled up and gave
2:30:45
Kyle a styles clash
2:30:47
into the thumbtacks. Face
2:30:50
in chest first. Cover.
2:30:52
Two count. Then
2:30:55
they climbed back to the
2:30:58
top of the cage and
2:31:00
fought over the screwdriver And
2:31:02
it happened because it may
2:31:05
sound exciting to you but
2:31:07
in between this ridiculous childish
2:31:09
fucking Side show geek Nonsense
2:31:12
that they were perpetrating was
2:31:14
a lot of fucking dead
2:31:16
time Then they climbed back
2:31:18
to the top of the
2:31:21
cage and fought over the
2:31:23
screwdriver and Will stabbed Kyle
2:31:25
in the head and then
2:31:28
If you told a top
2:31:30
baby face in any company
2:31:32
in the history of wrestling
2:31:35
We're gonna have you Hit
2:31:37
this guy with a baseball
2:31:39
bat a couple times Hit
2:31:42
him with a chair a
2:31:44
couple times After having been
2:31:46
fighting him for over 20
2:31:48
minutes, and in he's going
2:31:51
to take over on you.
2:31:53
They would have to, what
2:31:55
the fuck are you, you
2:31:58
son of a bitch, you
2:32:00
would have been... So then
2:32:02
they were up there and
2:32:05
they both carefully and in
2:32:07
slow motion assisted each other
2:32:09
gingerly to stand on top
2:32:12
of the cage so that
2:32:14
both of them could carefully
2:32:16
at the same time on
2:32:19
the count of three back
2:32:21
flip off of it into
2:32:23
a Spanish fly. And
2:32:27
neither one's Spanish, but they
2:32:29
didn't fly either. They hit
2:32:31
the ground. But there was
2:32:33
no cover. Oh, and who
2:32:35
gives that move to who
2:32:37
the Spanish fly? The Osprey
2:32:39
was giving this to Kyle,
2:32:41
wasn't he? Yeah, but okay,
2:32:43
he took it worse. Well,
2:32:46
yeah, I mean, it's just
2:32:48
fucks up both guys, but,
2:32:50
you know, theoretically, the one
2:32:52
that was intended to... But
2:32:54
there was no cover because
2:32:56
Kyle just got up on
2:32:58
his knees and screamed in
2:33:00
a high-pitched squeal that sounded
2:33:02
much like a Police body
2:33:04
cam video of a domestic
2:33:06
disturbance said I fucking hate
2:33:08
you you son of a
2:33:10
bitch And so Osprey hit
2:33:12
him with that elbow that
2:33:14
he couldn't get out of
2:33:16
the way up because he
2:33:18
was too busy screaming it
2:33:21
that he hated him But
2:33:23
then he didn't cover him
2:33:25
after he hit him with
2:33:27
his elbow finish Then he
2:33:29
grabbed him and hooked him
2:33:31
up and gave him the
2:33:33
dreaded Tiger driver into the
2:33:35
thumb tax And then he
2:33:37
covered him one two three
2:33:39
30 fucking minutes Got a
2:33:41
baseball bat repton barbed wire
2:33:43
hit the guy multiple times
2:33:45
it took him only 11
2:33:47
more minutes to beat the
2:33:49
fucking guy. I Think maybe
2:33:51
I'm scared of Kyle at
2:33:53
this point? He's the most
2:33:55
indestructible man in the world
2:33:58
said Jason this It was
2:34:00
worse. He just keeps on
2:34:02
coming. But it was worse
2:34:04
to me than the girls
2:34:06
match. Because the girls match
2:34:08
was, I mean, it exposed
2:34:10
wrestling is phony and it
2:34:12
was in horrible taste and
2:34:14
sponsors don't want to be
2:34:16
involved in this shit and
2:34:18
it drives off all but
2:34:20
these, you know, goofy internet
2:34:22
marked fans. But I'm
2:34:24
more offended at these guys as
2:34:27
a professional because they could do
2:34:29
so much better with any restraint
2:34:31
and any control and any guidance
2:34:33
and any Any anybody to sit
2:34:35
them down a saddle give a
2:34:37
fuck how? Fur you can jump
2:34:39
You don't know what the fuck
2:34:42
you're doing when it comes to
2:34:44
putting a god damn show or
2:34:46
a match together and I am
2:34:48
the booker and I will tell
2:34:50
you to do this and that
2:34:52
the other thing and you fill
2:34:55
it in with color in the
2:34:57
God damn manner in which I
2:34:59
like and we'll all get along
2:35:01
fine. Instead, they got a guy
2:35:03
that's out there going, oh gosh,
2:35:05
you guys jump so far. Do
2:35:07
anything you want to do. So
2:35:10
I'm offended as a professional. If
2:35:12
I were a painter, not talking
2:35:14
fences and houses, I'm talking art.
2:35:16
And somebody just took a green
2:35:18
paint in them and shit a
2:35:20
landscape. and tried to
2:35:23
sell it to people, I'd
2:35:25
be offended because I was
2:35:27
a painter, an artist. It's
2:35:29
my line of work. If
2:35:32
I were a singer and
2:35:34
somebody recorded a cat being
2:35:36
disemboweled and released it as
2:35:38
a single and tried to
2:35:41
sell it to people, I'd
2:35:43
be offended. And if I
2:35:45
were a carpenter and you
2:35:47
were a lady... Then
2:35:50
I'd be offended if you built
2:35:52
a house with no doors and
2:35:54
windows in it and tried to
2:35:56
sell it to somebody It's just
2:35:58
an front to the profession that
2:36:00
is not anything remotely based on
2:36:02
what these fucking dip shits are
2:36:05
doing. And it makes it look
2:36:07
phony and it makes it look
2:36:09
stupid and it makes it look
2:36:11
low rent. And it makes it
2:36:13
look it makes the people in
2:36:15
it look like complete goofs. And
2:36:18
it doesn't say a lot for
2:36:20
the people sitting there watching this
2:36:22
shit. So I'm offended as a
2:36:24
professional as a professional. Are you
2:36:26
offended as a talented amateur? Uh,
2:36:28
I wouldn't say I'm offended. The
2:36:30
only thing I really had a
2:36:33
problem where I would say, I
2:36:35
wouldn't even say offended. But I
2:36:37
just hate it and especially the
2:36:39
way it was used here, the
2:36:41
screwdriver. You know, it was a
2:36:43
throwback to all the other times
2:36:45
I use it. But you see
2:36:48
him stabbed the guy in the
2:36:50
head with it. Why isn't he
2:36:52
dead? Why isn't he impaled? Anything.
2:36:54
I hate the screwdriver stuff. I
2:36:56
knew this was going to just
2:36:58
be... balls to the wall, let's
2:37:01
do everything we can, main event
2:37:03
be damned, let's do every single
2:37:05
thing we can. Well, the main
2:37:07
event had already been damned. But
2:37:09
they did everything here, I enjoyed
2:37:11
it, because again, I kind of
2:37:13
knew, it was exactly what I
2:37:16
expected it to be. Not that
2:37:18
I expected all the spots, but
2:37:20
this kind of match is what
2:37:22
I expected. It's what I expect
2:37:24
out of these two. But you
2:37:26
don't have to, you shouldn't, you
2:37:28
don't have to, better than that.
2:37:31
They have... I don't know about
2:37:33
Osprey's potential for learning it, learning
2:37:35
him anything different at this point,
2:37:37
but Kyle is young and he
2:37:39
could be reformed. And you could
2:37:41
see him in the W.W.E. program
2:37:44
climbing the ladder and being one
2:37:46
of the best athletes and hopefully
2:37:48
finding a personality. So who's there
2:37:50
in A.W. that's going to sit
2:37:52
him down and talk to him
2:37:54
and tell him stuff he doesn't
2:37:56
want to hear? It's not going
2:37:59
to be. Nobody. Who's going to
2:38:01
be going to be? I don't,
2:38:03
nobody apparently. Because they've all either,
2:38:05
the ones that know have drunk
2:38:07
the coup laid and are hanging
2:38:09
on to suckle at the teat
2:38:11
of the billionaire boy child and
2:38:14
the ones that don't know any
2:38:16
better just do the same shit
2:38:18
that they always do with the
2:38:20
same people they always do it
2:38:22
with same people they always do
2:38:24
it with. And if you always
2:38:26
do what you always do, what
2:38:29
you always did, then you always
2:38:31
get what you always got. Hey,
2:38:33
here's a question for you, we'll
2:38:35
get the answer probably by the
2:38:37
end of the end of the
2:38:39
week. All kidding. It had to,
2:38:42
you have to get an extra
2:38:44
quarter star per stabbing, don't you?
2:38:46
So how many, that'd be, like
2:38:48
seven? All right. This is gonna
2:38:50
be between six and seven stars.
2:38:52
I think that's what he'll give
2:38:54
it. Or it's the first eight
2:38:57
star match, who knows? This is
2:38:59
the kind of thing that he
2:39:01
loves because the young kids that
2:39:03
he aspires to be one day
2:39:05
when he's even older than he
2:39:07
is now, and he's older than
2:39:09
me. They love it, so he
2:39:12
loves it, because he has to
2:39:14
love it, because they have to
2:39:16
love him. And love is somehow
2:39:18
involved, and just, if not love,
2:39:20
then definitely somebody's jacking off. Well,
2:39:22
I told you earlier, a lot
2:39:25
of AEW fans loved this pay-per-view
2:39:27
event, although it seemed like the
2:39:29
love ended at this point, even
2:39:31
though there was more of the
2:39:33
pay-per-view to go, based on what
2:39:35
I've seen the feedback from the
2:39:37
people who really enjoy A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-L-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S- The
2:39:40
Love Fest ended with Osprey versus
2:39:42
Fletcher. Yes, because they had the
2:39:44
two segments of the night that
2:39:46
got the most derision coming up
2:39:48
immediately afterwards, one right after the
2:39:50
other, and I felt bad for
2:39:52
the first one for part of
2:39:55
it, because what have we been
2:39:57
saying about production meetings? Apparently they
2:39:59
didn't have one for this show,
2:40:01
or at least they just... They
2:40:03
they they went ahead and improvised
2:40:05
this next segment Tony Shavani was
2:40:08
at ringside with at the railing
2:40:10
with our friend Ash Abilson who's
2:40:12
been on this program and was
2:40:14
more eloquent to say the least
2:40:16
here maybe it's because Tony's a
2:40:18
rotten interviewer but this was one
2:40:20
of the most awkward things I've
2:40:23
ever seen and I don't know
2:40:25
why of some of it because
2:40:27
they're promoting Queen of the ring
2:40:29
they had a bunch of their
2:40:31
Talent at the premiere in Los
2:40:33
Angeles. I'm sure Tony flew him
2:40:35
all to LA. She had flown
2:40:38
something to Louisville. We had more
2:40:40
fun. But they're promoting the movie,
2:40:42
Queen of the Ring, and theaters
2:40:44
near you folks, starring Jim Cornette
2:40:46
and others. And so obviously this
2:40:48
wasn't like a god damn, oh
2:40:51
hey look, we didn't know they
2:40:53
were here, let's just grab this
2:40:55
interview and it fell apart. They
2:40:57
had to kind of know. They
2:40:59
had to tell Tony you're going
2:41:01
to go over and you're going
2:41:03
to interview Ash Abaldsen and Kelly
2:41:06
Burgland and Demaris Lewis. Give these
2:41:08
people some names. Tony was at
2:41:10
ringside. There's the three of them
2:41:12
standing there. Ash and the two
2:41:14
young ladies. And Tony says we're
2:41:16
here with Ash Abaldsen, the director
2:41:18
of Queen of the Ring. And
2:41:21
the girls kind of, you know,
2:41:23
light up since they're on camera
2:41:25
also, and Tony looks over at
2:41:27
him and says, oh, hey girls,
2:41:29
nice to see you here. And
2:41:31
turned back to Ash like they
2:41:34
were marks from the front row.
2:41:36
He didn't know who they were,
2:41:38
or they were not supposed to
2:41:40
be in this. He didn't know
2:41:42
their names. So then he goes
2:41:44
to Ash and Ash is trying
2:41:46
to plug the movie, but clearly
2:41:49
he wanted the girls to be
2:41:51
able to say something. And it
2:41:53
looked like he may be trying
2:41:55
to save that maybe didn't Tony
2:41:57
forget their names. He just blanked
2:41:59
so he didn't introduce them. He
2:42:01
knows their names. Goody fumbles. the
2:42:04
pitch on asking him a question.
2:42:06
And he said, oh, just take
2:42:08
it, girls. And then, God, the
2:42:10
first thing, the young lady, God,
2:42:12
then these are actresses now. Take
2:42:14
it, girls. And then she says
2:42:16
the worst thing you can say.
2:42:19
Take it, girls. Oh, she took
2:42:21
it. She took it. Demaris Lewis
2:42:23
who plays Bab's Wingos, one of
2:42:25
the three sisters, Bab's Wingo, Ethel
2:42:27
Johnson, and Marvis Scott, I met,
2:42:29
my gosh, they were three sisters.
2:42:32
They were the pioneer African-American lady
2:42:34
wrestlers. I just saw the video
2:42:36
with Cosper. Yes, and I forget
2:42:38
which one, they're one of their
2:42:40
daughters was there. I forget which
2:42:42
was one of the sisters. I
2:42:44
think it was Marva's daughter. Yeah.
2:42:47
Well anyway, Demaris Lewis plays Bab's
2:42:49
Wingo, but she says. One thing
2:42:51
I've learned about pro wrestlers, y'all
2:42:53
know you're going to win before
2:42:55
anybody else does. So thanks for
2:42:57
teaching me that. Tony Shivadi was
2:42:59
just frozen. Also, when Ash said,
2:43:02
take it girls, she had grabbed
2:43:04
the microphone, Tony had let go
2:43:06
of it, but she grabbed it
2:43:08
and pulled it in, so she
2:43:10
go first. And you know, you
2:43:12
just know that she had rehearsed
2:43:15
that and had... thought this is
2:43:17
such a profound thing to say
2:43:19
because in her head she's thinking
2:43:21
y'all are the first ones you
2:43:23
know you're gonna win before anybody
2:43:25
else does then you go out
2:43:27
and you prove it to him
2:43:30
she's trying to be inspirational right
2:43:32
you're the first ones to know
2:43:34
you're gonna win but what she
2:43:36
does is just take a god
2:43:38
damn diuretic shit all over Kay
2:43:40
Fab on a wrestling program And
2:43:42
the fans on Twitter and everybody
2:43:45
else were, what? And she didn't,
2:43:47
she was proud of that. She
2:43:49
didn't have any idea what she
2:43:51
had done. And then- Before the
2:43:53
main event, right before the main
2:43:55
event, you get on. Right before
2:43:58
the main event, which hey, if
2:44:00
she hadn't exposed the business, then
2:44:02
the main event. It would have.
2:44:04
The first thing I learned from
2:44:06
the wrestlers on is that it's
2:44:08
fake. Thank you. You know, that's
2:44:10
one of the first inside insults
2:44:13
I learned when I got in
2:44:15
the business. From the boys in
2:44:17
the Tennessee territory, you would go
2:44:19
up to a fucking guy and
2:44:21
you'd say, I learned to work
2:44:23
by watching you wrestle. That was
2:44:25
a profound fucking insult. Your shit
2:44:28
was so see-through, right? You had
2:44:30
to be there. But anyway, then
2:44:32
young young Nell Stewart spoke and
2:44:34
then when she finished and she
2:44:36
was a bit more pleasant and
2:44:38
non non controversial and then Tony
2:44:41
was ignoring them pretty much as
2:44:43
they were talking and then turned
2:44:45
to pitch out and you could
2:44:47
see Ash hold his hand up
2:44:49
and He said one more thing
2:44:51
I want to say and he
2:44:53
just Tony completely pitched out like
2:44:56
get the fuck out of this
2:44:58
and cut it was the most
2:45:00
awkward thing on everybody's part Ash
2:45:02
talked for an hour and a
2:45:04
half on this program and didn't
2:45:06
fumble anything he couldn't make it
2:45:08
20 seconds on this show. These
2:45:11
girls looked like they were interlopers
2:45:13
on a live interview that just
2:45:15
wandered out of the crowd from
2:45:17
the way the announcer treated him.
2:45:19
One of them, when they did
2:45:21
get to speak, exposed the business
2:45:24
on a fucking wrestling program, and
2:45:26
then the announcer cut the poor
2:45:28
fucking director of the god damn
2:45:30
movie, they're plugging off and just
2:45:32
said, fuck it, we're out of
2:45:34
here. And that's the last you
2:45:36
saw of any of. God damn
2:45:39
it. That was an all-timer. I
2:45:41
was second right there. Nothing went
2:45:43
right. It should have been a
2:45:45
layup. Hey, we got a few
2:45:47
actresses in the record ringside. Let's
2:45:49
do something nice to promote this
2:45:51
movie. They've all of a sudden
2:45:54
been all over the movie and
2:45:56
then they go out there and
2:45:58
the girl exposed it. If you'd
2:46:00
like to see something similar. done
2:46:02
with absolutely no conversation or pre-planning
2:46:04
ahead of time or a production
2:46:07
meeting, go to official Jim Cornett
2:46:09
on YouTube and I'll be with
2:46:11
some of the same people going
2:46:13
for several minutes without anybody embarrassing
2:46:15
themselves. You have anything you want
2:46:17
to say? Yeah, the first thing
2:46:19
I learned is they know who's
2:46:22
going to win. What the fuck?
2:46:24
Oh, what was Ash? Do we
2:46:26
need to get Ash back on
2:46:28
the show now? Yeah. Yeah. Ash,
2:46:30
what was that other thing you
2:46:32
wanted to say? Yeah, what was
2:46:34
it, Ash? What were you going
2:46:37
to tell Chevani? Are you going
2:46:39
to say you're an idiot? It's
2:46:41
going to be the biggest cliffhanger
2:46:43
since Baby Doll's envelope on Dusty.
2:46:45
What did Ash Evelson want to
2:46:47
finally figure out to say when
2:46:49
you cut him off? If you
2:46:52
can't trust Bab's Wingo to be
2:46:54
on the level, who can you
2:46:56
trust? Oh, what a segment. Oh,
2:46:58
my God. All righty then, should
2:47:00
we, should we go there? Well,
2:47:02
unfortunately, I think I know where
2:47:05
you mean, because there's only one
2:47:07
place left to go. So let's
2:47:09
go there, the main event. We
2:47:11
could go home. The world champion
2:47:13
John Moxley. We take his word
2:47:15
for it. We haven't seen this
2:47:17
belt in a long time. Versus
2:47:20
Adam the Cope or Adam just
2:47:22
Cope, Copeland. Adam the Cope Edgeland.
2:47:24
He's Adam Cope. The legend with
2:47:26
the EDGE. The eligible legend. Now
2:47:28
right there. That's got to be
2:47:30
a nickname. The eligible legend. And
2:47:32
that could be for one of
2:47:35
these guys who just scribbles their
2:47:37
autograph at Fanfess. You know I'll
2:47:39
let you do the review obviously,
2:47:41
but this match was horrible And
2:47:43
I really started to enjoy it
2:47:45
for this one. I told you
2:47:48
I enjoyed things for the wrong
2:47:50
reasons by the end his match
2:47:52
I was enjoying it for every
2:47:54
reason that was wrong because it
2:47:56
was so bad and every movement
2:47:58
moxley makes around the ring is
2:48:00
ridiculous every movement he like sticks
2:48:03
his shoulders back in his chest
2:48:05
that button like he goes nowhere
2:48:07
and then he turns around and
2:48:09
walks back to where he came
2:48:11
from yes he turns that it's
2:48:13
like one of those god damn
2:48:15
things that when it bumps into
2:48:18
something it changes direction and but
2:48:20
my question was gonna be this
2:48:22
match was awful and the fans
2:48:24
didn't like it and AW's fans
2:48:26
didn't like it and AW's fans
2:48:28
are sick of Moxley and the
2:48:31
Death Rider stuff? But how much
2:48:33
of it was that and how
2:48:35
much of it is? Nothing should
2:48:37
have followed that cage match, let
2:48:39
alone the Tony Storm match. How
2:48:41
could you follow that cage match?
2:48:43
Well, it's a combination of everything,
2:48:46
because if you look at it,
2:48:48
in fairness to these individuals, let's
2:48:50
look at it from their side,
2:48:52
before we switch over to the
2:48:54
right side. One
2:48:56
guy's 40 years old and facially
2:48:59
looks 60, even though he's gotten
2:49:01
in better shape physically, I guess
2:49:03
being stretched by all those home
2:49:05
depot clerks, you know, got even
2:49:08
in shape, but one guy's 40
2:49:10
and one guy's in his early
2:49:12
50s, and they're going on the
2:49:15
13th match after... Let's see the
2:49:17
bell rang at three and a
2:49:19
half hours into the paper view
2:49:21
so five hours into the overall
2:49:24
presentation here in this arena and
2:49:26
They've seen 12 matches and everything
2:49:28
in the world has been done
2:49:30
So Even the best talent under
2:49:33
the best circumstances Would have had
2:49:35
trouble having these people on the
2:49:37
edge of their seats unless they
2:49:40
were about to fall off because
2:49:42
they had gone to sleep and
2:49:44
their legs had gone up But
2:49:47
having said that, on
2:49:49
the other side of
2:49:51
things, the combined agent's
2:49:54
main event is fucking
2:49:56
90-something. And while Edge
2:49:58
has been a top-level
2:50:00
talent, he's in his
2:50:02
early 50s and seen
2:50:04
his better days, Dick
2:50:07
the Boozer, his work,
2:50:09
as we've many times
2:50:11
mentioned, is fucking rotten,
2:50:13
and his matches are
2:50:15
never any good because
2:50:17
he has this personality
2:50:20
in mind that he
2:50:22
just doesn't look like
2:50:24
and it's just goofy.
2:50:26
The entire issue has
2:50:28
been garbage because the
2:50:31
death rider's thing has
2:50:33
been The bore horseman
2:50:35
is bored everybody nobody
2:50:37
cares. It's tank the
2:50:39
ratings I mean Nobody
2:50:41
understands it. He's a
2:50:44
raving idiot Pack pops
2:50:46
in every now and
2:50:48
then Claudio just does
2:50:50
what he's told like
2:50:52
a lurch and there's
2:50:54
a wheeler Popping
2:50:56
up looking like a god-dam
2:50:59
store clerk every now and
2:51:01
then to get his ass
2:51:03
kicked. It's just nobody cared.
2:51:05
I don't think they would
2:51:07
have cared if this is
2:51:09
the first thing they'd seen
2:51:11
because did I mention? Moxley's
2:51:14
matches are garbage. And then
2:51:16
they ring the bell! And
2:51:20
as the fans are
2:51:22
sitting there and staring
2:51:24
at them, they traded
2:51:27
forearms. You know how
2:51:29
many forearms they traded,
2:51:31
Brian? No. Do you
2:51:33
know how many forearms
2:51:35
they traded? I don't
2:51:38
know, no. 70 forearms.
2:51:40
And sometimes they were the quick
2:51:43
ones and sometimes they were the
2:51:45
drawback and throw ones and sometimes
2:51:47
they sold them and sometimes they
2:51:50
didn't and sometimes they look stiff
2:51:52
and sometimes they were phony as
2:51:54
a football bat. But there were
2:51:57
70 of them and then one
2:51:59
bump. And I mean... Like you
2:52:01
said, I zoned out because this
2:52:04
Moxley is spastic, but the things
2:52:06
he does, most of them
2:52:08
don't look good, and the
2:52:10
ones that might look good
2:52:12
don't make any sense, and
2:52:15
his psychology, if you can
2:52:17
even apply that word,
2:52:19
doesn't count, and poor edge
2:52:22
is trying to do these
2:52:24
modern type of matches that
2:52:26
the Indy crowd likes, and...
2:52:29
They did about 20 minutes
2:52:31
of that. And then finally,
2:52:33
well not finally, but
2:52:35
to start telling you
2:52:37
how this weirdness unfolded,
2:52:40
Moxley brings in a chair
2:52:42
and the referee takes it
2:52:44
away. And Edge rolls Moxley
2:52:47
up, but Moxley kicks him
2:52:49
off and Edge nails the
2:52:51
referee and the referee takes a
2:52:53
nice bump to the floor.
2:52:56
Now of course have we just
2:52:58
seen that god-dam spot? Who's
2:53:01
the kick-out? Yeah, they kicked
2:53:03
off of the pancaked Nana
2:53:05
in the corner. Three matches go,
2:53:07
right? Same roll-up kick-out.
2:53:09
Roll-up kick-out riff gone.
2:53:12
Okay. What did you think
2:53:14
about how physical and verbal
2:53:16
Bryce Remsberg all of a
2:53:18
sudden was? Well, they probably
2:53:21
told him to be that way.
2:53:23
And that's why he decided to
2:53:25
take... the opportunity to
2:53:27
actually stand up and
2:53:29
look like an official. But, you
2:53:32
know, again, in this company,
2:53:34
you can't be a
2:53:36
referee and have any
2:53:38
integrity whatsoever, because they're
2:53:41
going to bury you deeper
2:53:43
than Long John Silver's pirate
2:53:45
treasure every match. It's
2:53:48
just, it's unavoidable. But
2:53:51
anyway the referee's down he's gonna
2:53:53
be down for about three minutes
2:53:55
from being hit from behind and
2:53:57
falling through the ropes So with that
2:54:00
time both Edge and Dick the
2:54:02
Boozer are selling. Moxley crawls over
2:54:04
to Edge next to him, covers
2:54:07
his mouth and talks to him
2:54:09
for a second, and then gets
2:54:11
up and rolls out and gets
2:54:14
a couple of chairs. Yeah, what
2:54:16
was that? I swear to God
2:54:18
that happened. Yeah, he crawled over
2:54:21
next to him and put his
2:54:23
hand up over his mouth like
2:54:26
a stage whisper, like, who he
2:54:28
didn't even try to hide it
2:54:30
by trying to hide it. He
2:54:33
obviously was trying to hide it!
2:54:35
That's how it wasn't hidden! So
2:54:37
he needed Harley Cameron and her
2:54:40
ventriloquism, or her cunning linguism, or
2:54:42
whatever it may be. So then
2:54:44
he goes out and gets the
2:54:47
two chairs and goes to set
2:54:49
up a concerto on Edge, but
2:54:52
Edge kicks the chair in Moxley's
2:54:54
face and they do a double
2:54:56
clothesline, both of them are down,
2:54:59
the crowd... is sitting in enraptured
2:55:01
silence. And here comes Wheeler out
2:55:03
to a small smattering of, ah,
2:55:06
grown type booze, like, ah. And
2:55:08
he gets in the ring and
2:55:11
as they're both standing up, he's
2:55:13
milking which one he's gonna hit.
2:55:15
And they're obviously standing up next
2:55:18
to each other without trying to
2:55:20
make any offensive move toward each
2:55:22
other so that they can be
2:55:25
part of this. decision that we
2:55:27
are expected to believe that Wheeler
2:55:30
is anguishingly making. And then he
2:55:32
gives Edge the knee. And he
2:55:34
goes against the briefcase, he gives
2:55:37
it to Moxley. But here comes
2:55:39
Light Switch Jay White. And he
2:55:41
gets on Wheeler and grabs the
2:55:44
case and swings at Moxley, but
2:55:46
Moxley moves out of the way
2:55:48
and White Bash's edge over the
2:55:51
head with the head with the
2:55:53
briefcase. And then... Wheeler
2:55:56
and Jay White fight
2:55:58
off. So
2:56:00
that yes every great once in
2:56:02
a while I can think of
2:56:04
a triple threat with undertaker is
2:56:07
the referee with Sean and Brett
2:56:09
one time you do the deal
2:56:11
where the baby face looks like
2:56:13
an imbecile and hits his own
2:56:16
person he's trying to help when
2:56:18
the heel ducks but normally that's
2:56:20
a spot that goes the other
2:56:22
way around the baby face ducks
2:56:24
out of the way of the
2:56:27
heel. But since White
2:56:29
looks like a god
2:56:31
damn blithered idiot most time
2:56:34
anyway, who gives a shit?
2:56:36
So they're gone and
2:56:38
Moxley covers Edge and the
2:56:41
referee rolls in. Two
2:56:43
count. God. Now Mox is
2:56:45
trying to push the referee
2:56:48
around, but Edge hits Moxley
2:56:50
with a spear. Two count.
2:56:53
And he hits him
2:56:55
with two more spears. One,
2:56:57
two. The referee is
2:56:59
pulled out of the ring
2:57:02
by a guy in a
2:57:04
hoodie who is revealed
2:57:06
to me. Duh-duh-duh-duh. Brian? You
2:57:09
did it again, kid.
2:57:11
Christian Cage. Christian Cage is
2:57:13
now, is now at ringside
2:57:16
and he hit edge
2:57:18
over the head with the
2:57:20
metal thing holding the
2:57:22
contract and then signed the
2:57:25
contract and made it a
2:57:27
triple threat match. Which
2:57:29
now the announcers are saying,
2:57:32
well that means it's
2:57:34
no DQ now, what the
2:57:36
fun. And then Christian Spears
2:57:39
Edge, to count. And
2:57:41
then Christian gives the unprettier,
2:57:43
it used to be,
2:57:45
what is it now, the
2:57:48
kill switch to Edge? But
2:57:50
as he does that, Moxley
2:57:53
jumps back in and grabs
2:57:55
the choke on cage
2:57:57
and holds on... And
2:58:00
while Edge is laying there unconscious
2:58:02
from the Zabodah, the Christian hit
2:58:05
him with, Moxley chokes Cage and
2:58:07
the referee calls for the bell.
2:58:09
Well, there was the one spot,
2:58:11
though, where Moxley had him and
2:58:14
the choking Christian put his hand
2:58:16
on the leg. Yes, yes, and
2:58:18
that was a... That was a
2:58:21
good spot. Well, he
2:58:23
was a good spot except when you
2:58:25
think about it. He's got this fucking
2:58:27
supposed, God damn brutal choke on his
2:58:29
guy. He calmly puts his hand on
2:58:32
him. One, two, cat. Now, but it
2:58:34
was cute. But nevertheless, he chokes out
2:58:36
a guy that wasn't even in the
2:58:38
match until 30 seconds ago while Edge
2:58:41
is laying there unconscious and then grabs
2:58:43
the briefcase and just and leaves and
2:58:45
the fans are booing. And again, it's
2:58:47
not like the... Did it come off
2:58:50
to you like the oh the heel
2:58:52
is one booing or? No, we didn't
2:58:54
like this bullshit at all booing This
2:58:56
was a bullshit booing and the place
2:58:59
came alive when Christians showed up Because
2:59:01
it was something It was something after
2:59:03
over 20 fucking minutes of this after
2:59:05
all the other shit they'd seen it
2:59:08
Lee Christian is there okay is there
2:59:10
gonna be a title change I think
2:59:12
that's what they were thinking I think
2:59:15
they also wanted the moxley stuff to
2:59:17
end and the idea is if he
2:59:19
loses the title it's over This is
2:59:21
the first time we've seen Christian without
2:59:24
any backup. I'm pretty sure Mama Wayne
2:59:26
could take moxley They weren't out there
2:59:28
to help him for the first time
2:59:30
anything he's done in a long time
2:59:33
also Why cash in there when you
2:59:35
go wait like five minutes for them
2:59:37
to kick and shoot each other more
2:59:39
and one of them to win? And
2:59:42
cash in on one guy? And cash
2:59:44
in on one guy? Yeah! Well I'm
2:59:46
not saying this made any sense. I
2:59:48
was just reporting how it happened officer.
2:59:51
I'm trying to the official arrest report
2:59:53
on this thing, not trying to fucking
2:59:55
litigate it in court. None of it
2:59:57
made any sense, but it also...
