Ep 6: Wrestling Recap: Pay-Per-View Highlights and Chops

Against The Ropes
Against The Ropes

21 plays · May 28, 2024

In this episode, we delved into recent pay-per-views, critiquing the AEW event as overly long and lackluster, while the WWE show had the right winners but unremarkable matches. A significant portion focused on the women's division, praising Nia Jax's recent performances and discussing the potential of newer talents like Lyra Valkyria. We also noted that black women wrestlers consistently have the best hair and gear. The conversation wrapped up with a debate on "earning" titles in wrestling, contrasting Mercedes Moné's immediate title shot with Trinity's approach in TNA, highlighting the importance of credible storylines and the impact of perceived entitlement. It was a lively episode with debates, insights, and laughs, setting the stage for future discussions.

Transcript

Speaker: Very, very productive.

Speaker: I had fun this week.

Speaker: It was a fun week.

Speaker: I gave him a few dollars.

Speaker: So now.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: The thoughts that count.

Speaker: It is the thought.

Speaker: It's the thought, CT.

Speaker: See, next month is Father's Day.

Speaker: That's when he getting his stuff.

Speaker: You know, Terrell's standards for gift giving is very high.

Speaker: Very.

Speaker: That's not necessarily true.

Speaker: It's okay, CT.

Speaker: It's the thought that counts.

Speaker: No, no.

Speaker: It definitely is the thought that counts.

Speaker: I'm not saying that my gift giving things are high.

Speaker: The thing is, don't be out here lying and saying that you did something that you didn't do.

Speaker: Granted, your presence was probably enough for him.

Speaker: The fact that you guys are already together.

Speaker: But you're going to stay here and say it was all on us when you didn't put nothing into it.

Speaker: It's crazy.

Speaker: He put some of that lawnmower money in it.

Speaker: His mama is not paying him to mow the lawn.

Speaker: His mama's paying him $20 to mow the lawn.

Speaker: Is your mama paying you money?

Speaker: Oh, absolutely not.

Speaker: That's why I do it.

Speaker: I tried to help you out.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: See, my income comes from YouTube.

Speaker: And your internship ain't happened yet, so you get money from YouTube?

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: My internship starts tomorrow.

Speaker: My income comes from YouTube, podcasting, and pretty much that's it.

Speaker: Oh, and my side gig that I do for a media company.

Speaker: That's where my income comes from.

Speaker: Oh, I thought you were going to talk about your show.

Speaker: Never mind.

Speaker: But that is being a social media manager.

Speaker: That's not going to be discussed here.

Speaker: That is being a social media manager and a website writer.

Speaker: I know exactly what you was talking about.

Speaker: Not exposing myself like that.

Speaker: Oh my God.

Speaker: Anyway, Donnie, how was your weekend?

Speaker: My week was pretty good.

Speaker: It was busy.

Speaker: It was... I'm happy it's over.

Speaker: I'm so happy that week is over.

Speaker: And we are here and we are not going anywhere.

Speaker: It's my favorite time of the week now.

Speaker: Podcast day.

Speaker: Podcast day.

Speaker: Oh, usually it's Monday.

Speaker: Well, actually, usually it's Sundays, but it's been Monday the last couple weeks.

Speaker: This is the third Monday in a row, actually.

Speaker: Third time's the charm, huh?

Speaker: That doesn't really apply in this type of situation, but I get what you're going with.

Speaker: We'll be back on Sunday.

Speaker: One of these weeks.

Speaker: Next week, maybe?

Speaker: Next week.

Speaker: Hopefully.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Next week's the second, right?

Speaker: Yep.

Speaker: So...

Speaker: My family is having something on that Sunday for Father's Day because they're having it a week early.

Speaker: Don't even know why.

Speaker: But if you're going to have an event early, why not do it on a Saturday?

Speaker: Why make it on a Sunday too?

Speaker: That doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker: Why is it Sunday?

Speaker: So y'all going to go to church, praise the Lord, and then have an event and party?

Speaker: Well, I wouldn't be going to church because I'd have to drive out there because it's like two hours away.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: Yeah, so you gotta miss church because of that.

Speaker: It's crazy.

Speaker: Oh, I don't think I'm going.

Speaker: Oh, you're not going to your bed?

Speaker: Nah, I don't think I'm going.

Speaker: Oh, is this the family with the thing?

Speaker: What thing?

Speaker: The thing with the dishes?

Speaker: Yeah, that thing.

Speaker: Dishes?

Speaker: I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker: Oh, you can stay down here.

Speaker: I don't care.

Speaker: They don't watch my shit.

Speaker: Oh, is this the family that was like, everybody bring dishes?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker: Or bring your own food.

Speaker: Be my own.

Speaker: Bring your own food.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah, so that's another reason why.

Speaker: It's not a California thing.

Speaker: It's literally a her thing.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I wouldn't go neither.

Speaker: Especially for me, because everybody else lives kind of around there, so it's easy for y'all to make something or bring something or whatever.

Speaker: I live all the way out of town, so you want me to bring a dish to support the potluck, I guess, in a sense or whatever.

Speaker: Plus bring my own meat so I can eat something.

Speaker: It's not feasible for me to do that.

Speaker: So it's looking like I'm not going.

Speaker: And I don't need to spend extra money anyways.

Speaker: And stay at home.

Speaker: I won't answer, but you know.

Speaker: So yeah, we'll be back on Sunday because I ain't doing nothing.

Speaker: Yeah, okay.

Speaker: Sunday sounds like a plan because it doesn't look like I'm going.

Speaker: But my week was cool.

Speaker: I finished my first three chapters of my book.

Speaker: So I have...

Speaker: five more to go.

Speaker: So hopefully I'll get them done.

Speaker: I was going to finish, try to finish it this weekend, but I was like, you know, I shouldn't work on the weekend.

Speaker: So I didn't do it.

Speaker: Take the weekends to yourself.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: So, yeah.

Speaker: And then I was so tired after waking up early to watch wrestle.

Speaker: I'm sorry, not WrestleMania.

Speaker: Watch King of the Ring.

Speaker: Cause it was earlier for me than it was for y'all.

Speaker: And then, um,

Speaker: After that was over and I was like, oh, let me take a nap.

Speaker: And I was like, no, I need to go to the store.

Speaker: And then once I got back from the store, I needed to cook.

Speaker: And then the day just got ahead of me.

Speaker: So I was just too tired to actually write anything.

Speaker: And then yesterday, um, I had to go back to the store cause I needed to get pasta to make a shrimp.

Speaker: But I make shrimp, uh, occasion, occasion, shrimp pasta.

Speaker: Um, and shrimp pasta.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: In LA.

Speaker: I mean, Kelly.

Speaker: I mean, why can't I make that?

Speaker: I didn't know that was a thing up there.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: Yeah, it's a thing.

Speaker: A lot of people from the South move to California.

Speaker: Well, it's technically not... Thank you.

Speaker: It's technically not necessarily a thing, but like...

Speaker: I'm black and I made it myself from scratch.

Speaker: So in my, most of my family's from Louisiana and Mississippi.

Speaker: So why couldn't.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: See, that makes sense.

Speaker: I didn't know that part.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I might have been born in California, but my family's not.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: He told us his family from down here.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: In Mississippi.

Speaker: Very interesting States.

Speaker: That's interesting.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Macomb.

Speaker: To be exact.

Speaker: Um,

Speaker: So anyways, yeah.

Speaker: So I made that.

Speaker: And then I was just like, I don't feel like doing that.

Speaker: And then the pay-per-view came on.

Speaker: So I wasn't going to write why the pay-per-view was on for AEW because I wouldn't have been paying attention to either one of them.

Speaker: Or I would only have been paying attention to one of them.

Speaker: You probably could have finished your whole book, though, by the end of that AEW pay-per-view.

Speaker: You probably could have finished the rest of the chapters.

Speaker: So speaking of that...

Speaker: Like... Oh, man.

Speaker: Snoozefest.

Speaker: If you wanted to... I know we're going to go to chops and everything, but before we get to that, I just want to say, my biggest chop of the weekend for these pay-per-views was that AEW's pay-per-view was so goddamn long.

Speaker: And they're always so goddamn long.

Speaker: Always.

Speaker: Always.

Speaker: Triple H is for me.

Speaker: I just think about...

Speaker: I think about like if I was there at the event, you got to think about it.

Speaker: There's the pre-show that they had matches on or whatever.

Speaker: Like you're there for like eight, seven hours.

Speaker: That's too much goddamn wrestling for a day.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Now y'all see why WrestleMania is two nights?

Speaker: What it used to be.

Speaker: Well, I know because we complained at the WrestleMania 35, but how goddamn long it was.

Speaker: That's not, that's not why they split it up.

Speaker: No, well, well, well, they literally split up because of the pandemic.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And then they just stuck with it.

Speaker: But people were complaining about it though.

Speaker: In 2019, I'll never forget.

Speaker: I was one of them.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I don't remember the complaints too.

Speaker: Cause WrestleMania.

Speaker: Yeah, I do.

Speaker: They used them.

Speaker: What was the name?

Speaker: Them motherfuckers used to be long.

Speaker: I went to 34 in New Orleans.

Speaker: I don't live that far from New Orleans, by the way.

Speaker: I didn't get back to my house till 3 a.m.

Speaker: And I'm going to let you know one that was, was 34 the one with the Divas triple threat?

Speaker: Sasha, Charlotte, and Becky?

Speaker: No, no, that was... That was 32.

Speaker: That whole along, too.

Speaker: That was 36, maybe 38.

Speaker: No, he said Divas, the Divas title when they first did the women's title.

Speaker: Yeah, I did.

Speaker: He did.

Speaker: Yeah, because Charlotte was the Divas champion.

Speaker: Yeah, that was 32.

Speaker: Because Charlotte won the first ever women's championship they had when they brought it back.

Speaker: There's no way that was 32.

Speaker: Was that not 33?

Speaker: That wasn't 33.

Speaker: Let me fact check myself real quick.

Speaker: Were they even on the main card in 32?

Speaker: They were.

Speaker: I remember Charlotte.

Speaker: We watched 32 not too long ago.

Speaker: She was there.

Speaker: I'll never forget.

Speaker: I said, oh, the beginning of Charlotte Flair.

Speaker: They were there.

Speaker: I'll never forget that.

Speaker: Yeah, it was somebody in Charlotte.

Speaker: It was a triple threat or something.

Speaker: It was 32.

Speaker: You're right.

Speaker: It was XL.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Dang.

Speaker: They've been there for a minute.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: That was 2016.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So you went to WrestleMania to 34, you said?

Speaker: Yeah, I went to 34.

Speaker: I was supposed to go to 30, but my dad had to work, so we didn't go to 30, but I watched 30 on the WWE Network.

Speaker: But 34, when they came back four years later, I was there.

Speaker: And I got there at- Oh, that's the one with Ronda Rousey.

Speaker: Yes, Ronda Rousey was there.

Speaker: Ronda Rousey, and I believe that was her debut, I believe.

Speaker: Oh, the tag match?

Speaker: The tag match with Kurt Angle.

Speaker: And then the Hemsley's.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: And then we had that atrocious main event with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.

Speaker: And Oh my God.

Speaker: God.

Speaker: That was terrible.

Speaker: But yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: That snooze fest.

Speaker: I was pissed as a AJ Styles fan.

Speaker: Very pissed.

Speaker: Um,

Speaker: You know, that show.

Speaker: But I remember coming back at 3 a.m.

Speaker: getting back home and I only live about 45 minutes from New Orleans.

Speaker: It was very interesting.

Speaker: Then I had to get back up for 7 a.m.

Speaker: What time did the pay-per-view end?

Speaker: 1.45 a.m.

Speaker: And then it took us an hour.

Speaker: What time did it start?

Speaker: It started at 7 p.m.

Speaker: Yeah, that sound about right.

Speaker: And it took y'all an hour to get home.

Speaker: But that's not bad.

Speaker: It was just an extra 15 minutes.

Speaker: The traffic.

Speaker: So then I only slept in my bed for about four hours because I had to get right back up to go to school.

Speaker: You went to school the next day?

Speaker: Oh, yeah, I did.

Speaker: With no voice.

Speaker: I was there.

Speaker: I wouldn't have.

Speaker: I would have called her.

Speaker: Oh, my mother makes me go.

Speaker: She said, as long as you're breathing, you're going to school.

Speaker: So I had to go to school right after my WrestleMania trip, too.

Speaker: that was hell it was a little bit lighter that was oh god i feel bad for you i would have went to a friend's house and went to sleep shit before i don't know what she was talking about it wasn't nothing but that um red roof in because it was in dallas oh i got friends across the i got y'all y'all louisiana if i need somewhere to crash i could crash with y'all

Speaker: You sure can.

Speaker: Thank you.

Speaker: Fuck you, Donnie.

Speaker: I literally said too long to say yes.

Speaker: No, I was just like, yeah, I don't see why not.

Speaker: If I'm around California and I don't feel like going to a hotel, I'm thinking, call Terrell, be like, hey.

Speaker: Yeah, you definitely could.

Speaker: I live kind of far from things, though, so I don't know.

Speaker: I don't mind.

Speaker: If it's not going to pay for any hotel fees for that time period, let's go.

Speaker: I'm coming.

Speaker: For sure.

Speaker: For sure.

Speaker: But, what was I going to say?

Speaker: Anyways, get into the news and rumors.

Speaker: News and rumors?

Speaker: Oh, I thought we was just going into the pay-per-views today.

Speaker: Oh, so you ain't prepared.

Speaker: I didn't have no news and rumors.

Speaker: Well, then, the questions that you have sent us, ask them.

Speaker: Do what you got to do.

Speaker: I was about to say that.

Speaker: Let's buy it.

Speaker: Okay, so between... I thought that's what we do.

Speaker: I mean, this is a whole pay-per-view thing.

Speaker: You know, news or rumors.

Speaker: That doesn't even make sense to do.

Speaker: Okay, so what we have for Queen and the Ring, Match of the Night, who we have?

Speaker: King and Queen of the Ring?

Speaker: The pay-per-view.

Speaker: I'm going to go first.

Speaker: I'm going to say Gunther and Randy Orton, even though the botch happened at the end.

Speaker: It was still a good match, though.

Speaker: I liked that match.

Speaker: It was fun.

Speaker: I feel like they were setting up something.

Speaker: I'm not going to lie to you.

Speaker: I feel like it, too.

Speaker: I feel like it was intentional.

Speaker: I don't think it was accidental.

Speaker: I think that's going to play into the story later on for Randy Orton, but that's just me.

Speaker: I don't got one.

Speaker: Oh, interesting.

Speaker: They were all just okay for you?

Speaker: Good to you?

Speaker: Yeah, none of them were bad.

Speaker: Just nothing really stood out to me.

Speaker: Like, I can't even... Definitely wasn't Liv and Becky.

Speaker: Oh, no.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: I feel like out of all the matches, I feel like the right people won.

Speaker: Yeah, the right people definitely won.

Speaker: Thank God Logan Paul didn't win.

Speaker: That wasn't going to happen.

Speaker: That would have been the shock of the century.

Speaker: I'm so happy he didn't win.

Speaker: That was a good match, though.

Speaker: It was good.

Speaker: I mean, he can wrestle his tail off, though.

Speaker: That's the crazy part.

Speaker: It's a natural.

Speaker: Yeah, some people just have it.

Speaker: But I will say this.

Speaker: He's had that U.S. title for a long time, but he's only defended it twice.

Speaker: Yeah, that's my problem, too.

Speaker: I hope that he defends it more.

Speaker: We say that you're so good, but what are you really doing?

Speaker: He's doing nothing with it.

Speaker: Nothing.

Speaker: He's just been holding it.

Speaker: He's keeping it warm.

Speaker: He's basically Roman Reigns.

Speaker: In the midcard.

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker: So we can say he's good all day, but what the fuck does that even mean if you're not even doing what you need to be doing?

Speaker: Well, I don't know, because his match record of late has kind of been eating Roman, so... No, his matches are good.

Speaker: And even when he loses, he impresses us, but at the same time, it's just like...

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: I don't care.

Speaker: LA Knight should have the belt by now.

Speaker: I'm surprised you said that because I didn't think you liked the LA Knight.

Speaker: I mean, I think he... I think... I wouldn't say that I necessarily like LA Knight.

Speaker: But...

Speaker: There's no bet.

Speaker: Because he was in the audience.

Speaker: I just assumed that he was going to be the one that stops him from using the brass knuckles or whatever.

Speaker: Because it just wouldn't make sense for them to build up their story.

Speaker: But that didn't happen.

Speaker: But what do I know?

Speaker: It feels like LA Knight and Logan Paul is going to happen at SummerSlam.

Speaker: At least we hope.

Speaker: And then LA Knight's probably going to beat him.

Speaker: but we'll see.

Speaker: I don't know right now.

Speaker: He ain't defending that.

Speaker: I have to tell SummerSounds.

Speaker: I guess you're right.

Speaker: That'll probably be when he loses it.

Speaker: I'm trying to think who else is in the mid-card title picture or the mid-card picture on SmackDown.

Speaker: That's the thing about it.

Speaker: Most of the men on SmackDown are mid-guy people.

Speaker: So like, we only have literally less than a handful that actually compete with Cody.

Speaker: So some of these wrestlers, like they need, like for instance,

Speaker: Like Austin Theory and, and what's his name?

Speaker: Grayson Flop.

Speaker: Grayson Waller.

Speaker: They need to lose the belts because they need to go on their own.

Speaker: Austin Theory, I believe, is too good to be in the tag team or whatever.

Speaker: They could be able to build him to at least the mid-cart title again and then eventually... By now, he's been with the company on the main roster for so long, they should have built him to be a quote-unquote threat for the world title.

Speaker: By now.

Speaker: Do they even have enough tag teams for that?

Speaker: That's not my problem.

Speaker: Oh, that's... That's something that Triple S got to think about if he's breaking up teams.

Speaker: Yeah, but that wasn't really a real team.

Speaker: When you think about it, that wasn't a real team anyways.

Speaker: He should never put those two together.

Speaker: No, it just worked.

Speaker: Well, yeah, it got over.

Speaker: Barely that.

Speaker: So, like, barely, but it worked.

Speaker: It worked, though.

Speaker: So that...

Speaker: Get rid of that.

Speaker: And then that's one other person.

Speaker: Then we have Andrade who they need to make a threat for the world title because he's so good.

Speaker: Putting him in the mid-card round just does nothing.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: Because I was complaining about him being in the mid-card in AEW.

Speaker: He needs to be a main eventer in WWE again.

Speaker: So that needs to happen.

Speaker: And then we have Bobby.

Speaker: Yeah, Bobby.

Speaker: I forgot about Bobby.

Speaker: I just don't feel like that him and he would need to turn heel.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Wait.

Speaker: What's going on with this Hurt Business thing?

Speaker: Are they faces?

Speaker: Wait, who?

Speaker: Oh, Hurt Business?

Speaker: They're not called the Hurt Business no more.

Speaker: What are they called now?

Speaker: I don't remember.

Speaker: Something.

Speaker: Did they say that on King and Queen?

Speaker: I don't remember the name.

Speaker: What are they called?

Speaker: It was a Hurt Business 2.0.

Speaker: No, it's not.

Speaker: They have a name.

Speaker: Is that what I thought it was, too?

Speaker: I thought it was Hurt Business 2.0.

Speaker: No, no, it's not the Hurt Business.

Speaker: They said their name.

Speaker: I gotta find it.

Speaker: That's hilarious.

Speaker: I'm dead.

Speaker: That is hilarious.

Speaker: Bobby.

Speaker: In the Street Profits.

Speaker: Shoot.

Speaker: In the Street Profits.

Speaker: What's the name?

Speaker: Because now I'm curious if it's not Hurt Business 2.0.

Speaker: The Pride.

Speaker: They're called The Pride.

Speaker: The Pride.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: I have not ever heard of this name before.

Speaker: They said that.

Speaker: They said it on TV because Street Profits and they were in a crowd at King and Queen in the ring and they said, here is The Pride.

Speaker: And I was like, oh.

Speaker: Who are these people?

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: That's what it was.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: They need to create a Herb Fitness 2.0, goddammit.

Speaker: It makes sense.

Speaker: Where is MVP?

Speaker: Is he even employed still?

Speaker: He's talking about Omos.

Speaker: Whoever Omos is.

Speaker: Omos needs to be in the unemployment line, but that's neither here nor there.

Speaker: I was thinking about MVP the other day.

Speaker: I'm like, where is he at?

Speaker: He's just disappeared.

Speaker: Omos is only still with the company because he's so big.

Speaker: That's it.

Speaker: He's not that talented in the ring.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: He doesn't have good matches.

Speaker: His best match was with Seth Rollins, and that's because it's Seth frickin' Rollins.

Speaker: Who else was tall and couldn't wrestle?

Speaker: I'm trying to think of names.

Speaker: Because that's what he reminds me of.

Speaker: Great point.

Speaker: Johnny Gonzalez.

Speaker: That guy, yeah.

Speaker: That reminds me of.

Speaker: He just missed.

Speaker: I remember watching that match.

Speaker: That's how old I am.

Speaker: Him and Untaker.

Speaker: I just have it on a DVD.

Speaker: That's the only reason I know.

Speaker: Where was it at?

Speaker: It was at Caesar's Palace.

Speaker: That's right.

Speaker: Yeah, I was outside.

Speaker: Because I remember it was sunny as hell.

Speaker: Well, I don't know.

Speaker: I just seen it because my dad bought the streak.

Speaker: You can say you remember.

Speaker: You watched it before.

Speaker: You can say you remember.

Speaker: I watched it.

Speaker: Yeah, I watched the match because my dad got the DVD of the Undertaker streak from his 20-year-old.

Speaker: Yeah, something like that.

Speaker: Oh, was it 20-year-old?

Speaker: 21-0.

Speaker: So I had got all the streak matches they put on DVD and I had watched it for the first time and I was like, this guy looks awful.

Speaker: I said that out loud watching the match.

Speaker: Quietness has kept.

Speaker: Undertaker should have stayed undefeated, but we ain't gonna have to talk about that right now.

Speaker: I've been saying that for the last 10 years.

Speaker: Brock Lesnar didn't need it.

Speaker: And then they gave it to Roman.

Speaker: Jinx, though.

Speaker: Imagine they gave it to Roman.

Speaker: And it did nothing for Roman, though.

Speaker: Because he had already lost by the end.

Speaker: Yeah, so it did nothing for him.

Speaker: He retired, but he just kept coming back.

Speaker: I remember saying that the person that should have beat him was Bray Wyatt.

Speaker: He said Bray Wyatt.

Speaker: He wanted Edge to do it, I think.

Speaker: And he also said he wanted Randy Orton to do it, too.

Speaker: I ain't heard that.

Speaker: I ain't heard that.

Speaker: I heard it.

Speaker: And Edge, just like out of respect for The Undertaker, he couldn't... He said no.

Speaker: And Randy Orton said the same thing.

Speaker: He said, I'm not big enough for that.

Speaker: Brock just said, give it to me.

Speaker: He didn't care.

Speaker: He didn't care, that's why.

Speaker: They had to be like junior year, senior year, high school.

Speaker: I was like, no, they didn't.

Speaker: But then they did.

Speaker: No, they didn't.

Speaker: But then they did.

Speaker: I'll never forget that black guy's face that they show every time.

Speaker: I was in fifth grade.

Speaker: He's literally famous because of that.

Speaker: Yeah, with the glasses there.

Speaker: I was in fifth grade.

Speaker: We had an over an hour debate on that.

Speaker: On our way to school.

Speaker: The next day.

Speaker: You and who?

Speaker: Oh, me and my best friend at the time.

Speaker: We were childhood friends.

Speaker: Oh, you guys aren't friends now?

Speaker: You guys are what?

Speaker: We're childhood friends.

Speaker: Oh, I said chocolate friends.

Speaker: I said what?

Speaker: No, childhood.

Speaker: It's real, please.

Speaker: What is that?

Speaker: You're still a child.

Speaker: No, we're still close.

Speaker: Yeah, and I still keep in contact with both of them.

Speaker: We just had great debates on wrestling when we were younger.

Speaker: That's cool.

Speaker: We don't talk that much anymore.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: That's how it happens when you get older, though.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: He moved away.

Speaker: Okay, so back to the wrestling.

Speaker: But yeah, I can't think really, like, I'm glad Nia won because she, well, speaking of Nia, the girl killed Nia.

Speaker: When I mean killed her, like, that girl was a pancake.

Speaker: I was like, I know my good sister got, like, at least two busted ribs after that.

Speaker: At least, minimum.

Speaker: Minimum.

Speaker: I'm like, oh, hell to the not.

Speaker: That was vicious.

Speaker: That was vicious.

Speaker: I think that alone made... She sold like a champ, though.

Speaker: She took it.

Speaker: She ate it like a champ.

Speaker: Well, she probably didn't have no choice but to eat it, to be honest.

Speaker: She couldn't breathe.

Speaker: She couldn't breathe.

Speaker: So, yikes.

Speaker: Shout out to Lyra for that.

Speaker: That was a good match, too.

Speaker: Yeah, that was good.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Nia has been on a hell of a run since she's come back.

Speaker: I agree.

Speaker: This has been her best run she's ever had.

Speaker: Somebody that deserves something, if we're going to talk about deserves something.

Speaker: And we'll get into that later.

Speaker: Get her the belt, honestly.

Speaker: Yeah, because she beat Bayley.

Speaker: If Bayley wins, I'm going to be surprised.

Speaker: She might lose it the same day depending on who wins Money in the Bank, but she definitely deserves to win the title.

Speaker: When is Money in the Bank?

Speaker: Is that in July?

Speaker: Not the next pay-per-view, but I think the pay-per-view after.

Speaker: So July.

Speaker: Next.

Speaker: Because isn't Clash of the Titans in like two weeks?

Speaker: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Because they said that it was June 14th or something.

Speaker: Drew McIntyre's fighting... Was it 14th?

Speaker: I thought it was sooner than that.

Speaker: Damien.

Speaker: Triple H announced it or something.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: He did say that.

Speaker: Did we not have a presser?

Speaker: A presser?

Speaker: Oh, at the end of the... I didn't hear anything about one, so probably not.

Speaker: No, they didn't say anything about it.

Speaker: They was trying to get the hell out of there.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: I don't blame them.

Speaker: I don't blame them.

Speaker: I would have gotten the first available flight.

Speaker: Send me and go take me home.

Speaker: Yeah, June 15th is when the pay-per-view is.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: You said June 15th?

Speaker: No, June 15th.

Speaker: Oh, June 15th.

Speaker: They better not put no damn preview on Juneteenth.

Speaker: And if they did?

Speaker: If they did, we better have a lot of black people on the show.

Speaker: You know they don't give a fuck.

Speaker: They didn't do nothing to Tiffany.

Speaker: So then you know they don't care.

Speaker: That's true.

Speaker: July 6th is Money in the Bank.

Speaker: July 6th.

Speaker: Two days after the 4th of July.

Speaker: They got a lot going on.

Speaker: Crazy, man.

Speaker: I can't believe Summer is here.

Speaker: Oh, Bailey actually is on the poster for Money in the Bank.

Speaker: Look at Bailey.

Speaker: Finally.

Speaker: They love to leave my good sister off a poster.

Speaker: Look at that.

Speaker: Finally.

Speaker: Finally.

Speaker: She's on the poster.

Speaker: And so is Ricochet.

Speaker: He should win Money in the Bank, him and Naomi.

Speaker: But, hey.

Speaker: Yeah, so... Give it to my Black people.

Speaker: To be honest.

Speaker: Clash at the Castle, Money in the Bank, and SummerSlam is the next three WWE games.

Speaker: Speaking of Ricochet, I do want to say, did you guys... I think we spoke about it briefly, but did you guys hear what Will Allspray said about Ricochet?

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Basically everything that we said.

Speaker: Literally, like, the week before.

Speaker: Oh, he's seen the video.

Speaker: He's seen our video.

Speaker: I'm telling you, some of these wrestlers are watching this podcast.

Speaker: I really believe that.

Speaker: So the other five people?

Speaker: There's one of them?

Speaker: There's gotta be one of them.

Speaker: There's gotta be.

Speaker: There's gotta be.

Speaker: The clips.

Speaker: The clips.

Speaker: The clips.

Speaker: Could we put them on TikTok too?

Speaker: And they just keep circulating.

Speaker: I'm telling you.

Speaker: But no, we definitely, and is, but definitely Ricochet is great.

Speaker: I was going to say the goat, but then I was watching this video and I realized that the term goat is actually negative terminology.

Speaker: It can be seen as a negative terminology because of like the devil and we'll get into that another time.

Speaker: Oh, I never knew that.

Speaker: I just thought I'd love it.

Speaker: I never knew that before.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I mean, y'all in Louisiana, y'all should know.

Speaker: You know, there'll be a competition off camera.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So I'm not going to say the GOAT, but he is really the best.

Speaker: One of the greatest of all times, yes.

Speaker: He is the best high flyer.

Speaker: He's the BOAT.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: The BOAT.

Speaker: I'm going to sue your ass for that one.

Speaker: Hi, guys.

Speaker: That's my good sis, Natalia.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: I can't.

Speaker: I hope Chopper sees that.

Speaker: I really do.

Speaker: I hope Chopper sees this clip.

Speaker: That is something.

Speaker: You bitch.

Speaker: I can't.

Speaker: you were telling you be eating them up that's what i mean they could never make me hate you i think she did she just resign i don't know if it was a resigning but they made it seem like it was a contract extension so yeah they're talking to her in that difference about it is that different than a resigning

Speaker: Well, an extension is the same thing as a resigning because they're just sustaining their contract.

Speaker: It's not.

Speaker: A resigning means that you get a whole new contract and you negotiate it.

Speaker: An extension, exactly.

Speaker: That means that's different.

Speaker: Well, yes, that is a little different.

Speaker: It's definitely different.

Speaker: It's definitely different.

Speaker: Meaning that if she was supposed to be out in June, we'll study harder.

Speaker: If she's supposed to be out in June, if she's supposed to be out in June, maybe his facial expressions.

Speaker: If she was supposed to be out in June and they extended it, they could have just extended it to the end of the year, which means that she still at some point needs to renegotiate for a new contract.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: So hopefully she has a new deal in 2025.

Speaker: She need to give that man some babies.

Speaker: I thought they had a turn.

Speaker: Geriatric pregnancies, Tarell?

Speaker: Hey, that's what's in right now.

Speaker: They can never make me hate you, Natalya.

Speaker: That's what's in right now.

Speaker: You just call that girl old.

Speaker: No, it's a technical term.

Speaker: I know it's technical.

Speaker: How old is she?

Speaker: I don't know, but... She's like 42.

Speaker: Serena didn't look older than her.

Speaker: She still got time.

Speaker: Technically, she might not.

Speaker: She just turned 42 years old today.

Speaker: Oh, today's her birthday?

Speaker: Yeah, today is her birthday.

Speaker: Oh, look at that.

Speaker: She was born May 27, 1982.

Speaker: That was yesterday, bruh.

Speaker: Oh, no, today is the 27th.

Speaker: Yes, today's the 27th.

Speaker: Today is her birthday.

Speaker: What are the odds?

Speaker: What are the odds?

Speaker: What happened to Natalia?

Speaker: Sweet birthday Natalia Catherine I. Hart Wilson.

Speaker: 42 years old girl look at you 1982 was 42 years oh god okay that's crazy anyway natta you're looking good baby keep doing what you're doing she's lost weight she sure do she look good right now and i love her run right now that she's doing on nxt so and her gears eating

Speaker: Don't recall what the girls been looking like.

Speaker: But, um, no, she's doing good.

Speaker: I actually like her and the other girl.

Speaker: What's her name?

Speaker: Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen Carmen Carmen?

Speaker: Carmen Carmen Carmen

Speaker: I guess they're both from Canada or whatever.

Speaker: I feel like they're a decent team together.

Speaker: It does work.

Speaker: And I can see if Natalya goes back up to the main card, she should take that girl with her.

Speaker: Because the girl actually is decent in the ring.

Speaker: Actually, a lot of these newer girls are actually pretty good.

Speaker: I was about to say, if you really want to get into it, these new girls are giving the main roster girls a little bit of a run for their running.

Speaker: Because who needs to be going back down to get some more practicing is... Leave Jade alone.

Speaker: Jade.

Speaker: I was not going to talk about Jade.

Speaker: Oh, I said... I was going to go with the color hair.

Speaker: What's her name?

Speaker: Tegan Nox?

Speaker: There you go.

Speaker: I can't stand Tegan Nox.

Speaker: And her knee and her ACL can really go right back to Rev Pro across the lake in NXT UK because we are tired.

Speaker: Yes, I'm just like... They keep putting her different things and it's just not working.

Speaker: It's not working.

Speaker: It's not working.

Speaker: It's not.

Speaker: And they literally have nothing for her in creative right now.

Speaker: And I love... She got a gold.

Speaker: You love who?

Speaker: You love who?

Speaker: I was about to say Tegan, but it was about to be a lie.

Speaker: So that's why I didn't finish my sentence.

Speaker: You don't need to be lying on this good Monday.

Speaker: He was one of the talk.

Speaker: I was going to say, did you already clock that early?

Speaker: No, I didn't.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: I've been very truthful this entire podcast.

Speaker: I don't know what you're talking about earlier.

Speaker: Did that stuff happen before we push record?

Speaker: It did.

Speaker: Oh, so not today, but just the podcast.

Speaker: Just the podcast.

Speaker: I have not lied.

Speaker: They don't know any lies I've told today.

Speaker: Today is crazy.

Speaker: Today is wild.

Speaker: Come on, man.

Speaker: Where do people be in my DMs sometimes?

Speaker: I got to tell them stuff to tell them to stop talking to me.

Speaker: What are you talking about?

Speaker: I'm just telling you about some... Sometimes I have to lie because I don't want people in my business.

Speaker: So, there you go.

Speaker: You don't got to lie.

Speaker: All you got to say is sometimes my business is not your business.

Speaker: I know.

Speaker: But, um... I have to tell my mom that yesterday.

Speaker: She was like, oh, because I was talking to somebody.

Speaker: She's like, who's in your room?

Speaker: Sometimes my business is not your business.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: Like... That's true.

Speaker: You don't know all my moves.

Speaker: It was just my little cousin, but you didn't need to know that.

Speaker: Yeah, parents want to know every detail, even what you ate today.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: But anyways, back to this pay-per-view.

Speaker: I'm not...

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: I feel like it... So how did you feel about the pay-per-view, Donnie?

Speaker: Because I know before that you said that this was just a glory when their pay-per-views are overseas at... Where was it at?

Speaker: Saudi Arabia or whatever.

Speaker: They don't give pay-per-views.

Speaker: They give live shows.

Speaker: So how did you feel about the pay-per-view overall?

Speaker: Well, I was not proven wrong.

Speaker: It gave very much so...

Speaker: glorified house show with a lot of production.

Speaker: It gave pyrotechnics.

Speaker: It gave attendance.

Speaker: It gave also very much so beautiful gowns, I will say.

Speaker: And that's about it.

Speaker: It didn't give me much.

Speaker: Did y'all see what Becky had on?

Speaker: I thought that she was a spy.

Speaker: That's my gear of the night, I have to say.

Speaker: I don't know if she was really trying to go for Britney Spears look, because that's what people were saying that they were both doing in Britney Spears look.

Speaker: I feel like she was about to be in an orchestra.

Speaker: She was going to have her things and the band was going to come out or whatever.

Speaker: I don't, I wasn't mad at the gear.

Speaker: I thought that it was very creative.

Speaker: It was different.

Speaker: Yeah, it was very creative because she knew she had to be all covered up and it didn't give wrestling gear, but she was able to wrestle in it.

Speaker: So I'm in a gay fashion.

Speaker: So I'm actually, I was here for it.

Speaker: I was here for it.

Speaker: It was very creative.

Speaker: Becky's gear, I gave 10s, I have to say.

Speaker: And the hair went with it too that she did with it.

Speaker: The hair went with it.

Speaker: She did what she needed to be done.

Speaker: The hair looked great though, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker: I was there.

Speaker: And then Liv gave.

Speaker: So I thought it was Britney Spears, but someone else said it was Rihanna.

Speaker: So now I'm confused.

Speaker: Rihanna what?

Speaker: Super Bowl.

Speaker: Rihanna when?

Speaker: I said, oh, maybe it was Rihanna.

Speaker: But she didn't have a jacket.

Speaker: She wasn't going to wrestle in a jacket.

Speaker: But if you was going to give Rihanna, you're going to wear it out to the ring.

Speaker: I thought it was Britney.

Speaker: But didn't she wear something like that similar before?

Speaker: Saudi Arabia, right?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Last time she wrestled there.

Speaker: Now, I thought it was me.

Speaker: I thought it was just me.

Speaker: That was like... This looks familiar.

Speaker: Yeah, she did it before.

Speaker: So that's why some people were saying it was Rihanna this time, not Britney.

Speaker: Well, it's the same damn costume.

Speaker: And it was different, though.

Speaker: I think she might have added to it.

Speaker: What, some buckles?

Speaker: Yeah, actually.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Girl.

Speaker: Well, anyway, it was nice.

Speaker: It looked nice.

Speaker: But maybe try a different color next time.

Speaker: Yeah, we need new colors.

Speaker: We just need new everything.

Speaker: You know what some of these women need?

Speaker: And I'm going to say this, because Tiffany Stratton did this.

Speaker: Did y'all see the clip?

Speaker: I wish I had it because I would show it to y'all.

Speaker: Of her tracks.

Speaker: Yes, and she curled her real hair so it didn't match the actual track.

Speaker: But all of them women, all of them white women, their hair be hella short.

Speaker: I don't know why.

Speaker: Probably because they be bleaching it.

Speaker: And then they have the long tracks.

Speaker: And then they don't, like, who's ever putting these weaves in are not doing a good job.

Speaker: They do not be in style of them.

Speaker: And they're not, like, weaves weaves.

Speaker: They're, um, what are those?

Speaker: The tape-ins.

Speaker: The clippings?

Speaker: Clippings?

Speaker: They're not clip-ins.

Speaker: They're, like, tape-ins.

Speaker: So they do it by the strand.

Speaker: And you have to get, like, pliers to undo it.

Speaker: I just know people that have had them.

Speaker: And it don't look good at all.

Speaker: It doesn't.

Speaker: Well, it's because...

Speaker: like hers didn't look great.

Speaker: I remember when Mandy Rose had did it for a minute after she cut her hair off and then tried to put them in.

Speaker: It just doesn't blend well because their hair is so short.

Speaker: Like, I don't know.

Speaker: Even when Becky did it, when Becky had cut her hair for it.

Speaker: And then they got the nerve to put their hair up in like a bun and then you see all the track.

Speaker: They got all your business outside.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: I'm like, that's not cute.

Speaker: So I don't know who's doing their hair because they literally, the only one that got good hair are the black women.

Speaker: Yep.

Speaker: I have never once ever seen anything out of place on Naomi.

Speaker: Bianca, well, me and Bianca always were, whatchamacallit, but Nor Jade.

Speaker: Bianca always first.

Speaker: Even Alicia Fox's wigs was good.

Speaker: Like, they might not have fit her skin tone, but they was good wigs.

Speaker: Alicia Fox.

Speaker: I know you ain't gonna do her like that.

Speaker: No, honey.

Speaker: That was the Noam Dar impression.

Speaker: Great times.

Speaker: Noam Dar.

Speaker: Jakara, I don't know what's new with that.

Speaker: Did you see NXT where she colored the bottom of her wig?

Speaker: That short bob red?

Speaker: I think I got what she was trying to do.

Speaker: It didn't succeed.

Speaker: It didn't translate.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: Through TV.

Speaker: But I got the idea.

Speaker: It was a cute idea.

Speaker: I didn't like it.

Speaker: I don't like her with short hair either, though.

Speaker: So that's another thing.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I want to see Mercedes with a bob.

Speaker: Didn't we already see that?

Speaker: Haven't we already seen that?

Speaker: An actual bob.

Speaker: Not like the... She don't.

Speaker: Not one of them bobs.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: Sure.

Speaker: That's hilarious.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: I need to see her with an actual bob.

Speaker: I feel like it's going to eat.

Speaker: I think it will.

Speaker: So she can leave these wigs alone.

Speaker: Girl, put these wigs down.

Speaker: You got hair.

Speaker: You can wear that hair that's on your head.

Speaker: Just put these wigs down.

Speaker: So, speaking of Mercedes, after she won the match, they kept saying she deserved it.

Speaker: She deserved it.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: They were saying she earned it.

Speaker: She earned it.

Speaker: She earned it.

Speaker: So I said we was going to speak about earning stuff.

Speaker: Naya earned the queen of the ring.

Speaker: She did.

Speaker: Mercedes was given that match.

Speaker: Earned.

Speaker: Because her name.

Speaker: To earn something, you actually have to do something.

Speaker: She did nothing but show up.

Speaker: She showed up and the women got how much time?

Speaker: But she didn't earn the belt.

Speaker: Did she win a number one contender smash?

Speaker: Did she say, I'm going to wrestle to earn this opportunity at this point?

Speaker: So there's a difference between what Trinity, when Trinity went to TNA and what Mercedes did.

Speaker: So we all knew that Trinity was going to get the title match and she was more likely going to win the belt.

Speaker: That's true.

Speaker: But she told them when she got there that she didn't want to just be handed something.

Speaker: She wanted to prove herself.

Speaker: So she wanted to have these matches before she even got to the tighter picture.

Speaker: Mercedes Monet believes, and I'm not going to argue with her, that she is the best in the world and the women.

Speaker: So she doesn't always feel that she needs to earn these things because she's or her resume.

Speaker: Basically, she's saying it speaks for itself.

Speaker: Mm hmm.

Speaker: But when you come with that kind of entitlement where these other women have been working and busting their ass, you're basically something that you said that you didn't like, which was what Charlotte Farah was.

Speaker: Just given certain opportunities.

Speaker: Who's been busting their ass for that TBS title?

Speaker: What?

Speaker: Who's been busting their ass for the TBS title?

Speaker: You're missing my point.

Speaker: I know you're trying to be on Mercedes-Benz.

Speaker: No, and I'm not missing your point.

Speaker: I get fully what you're saying.

Speaker: I think that it would have better... I feel like it would land better had she just come into the women's world title picture.

Speaker: A belt?

Speaker: They got so many fucking belts.

Speaker: I don't know which one's more important.

Speaker: And now that she won that belt, that belt is more important.

Speaker: Obviously, I'm still the one Mercedes won.

Speaker: So, again, my point is proven.

Speaker: She earned it.

Speaker: Listen, my thing is, if Tony's belt was more important, it would be more important.

Speaker: How did she earn it?

Speaker: Well, we knew that Tony's belt wasn't important when she fought Serena Deeb's.

Speaker: You didn't have to do my good sis Serena like that.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: You mean Miss Elizabeth?

Speaker: Because the girl looking old.

Speaker: But honestly, they should have shoehorned her into the world title picture instead of the TBS title.

Speaker: I'm happy this is a good stop because her and Willow do have storyline, but I would have much rather her been given the title shot for the world championship instead of the TBS title.

Speaker: Again, like you said, there's so many belts there.

Speaker: I can't even keep up anymore.

Speaker: I don't even know what these belts mean.

Speaker: Because everybody got one.

Speaker: You really can't get mad at Mercedes for being given a title shot or a title opportunity for the TBS title.

Speaker: That title historically hasn't... You just give opportunities to it.

Speaker: There are people who Jade have wrestled on

Speaker: television for the title that had no, no business wrestling for a title.

Speaker: Those opportunities for that particular title are just given out.

Speaker: So why not give it to Mercedes?

Speaker: The opportunities are already being given out.

Speaker: It doesn't make any difference that it's Mercedes.

Speaker: Again, I just felt like the storyline ran too long for her not wrestling at all.

Speaker: And then when the match came, it was, to me, it was a little, it was a decent match, but it was lackluster.

Speaker: Like, literally, I'm pretty sure it was the same match that I seen a year ago when they were fighting in New Japan.

Speaker: And I watched it live.

Speaker: Pretty much the same thing.

Speaker: Yeah, it was still good to me.

Speaker: It wasn't a bad match.

Speaker: I'm not saying that.

Speaker: But the ending after the match was over was the best part because I felt like it was going to happen.

Speaker: I've been waiting for her to turn, what's-her-face to turn on Willow.

Speaker: Now, that storyline is going to eat, I feel.

Speaker: And I feel like it's going to be a triple-header storyline.

Speaker: It'll be great.

Speaker: No, I feel like, I don't know.

Speaker: And then, I know you said last week that they're giving women opportunities and all this other stuff, but some of the women that are getting opportunities, like, what are they really doing there?

Speaker: Like, Paige, she wanted to wrestle so bad.

Speaker: And she's getting to wrestle now, but what are you really doing?

Speaker: Paige's never been one of my girlies to begin with.

Speaker: So I'm going to let y'all have that one.

Speaker: I just don't.

Speaker: Her face is eating, though.

Speaker: The work she had done.

Speaker: Y'all need to go to her doctor.

Speaker: To be honest.

Speaker: Because he did what he needed to do.

Speaker: And that's not true.

Speaker: She does not look the same.

Speaker: She's eating.

Speaker: She's eating visually, I think.

Speaker: I've never been one to just really clamor for a Paige or Soraya match.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: So I was never that excited to see her.

Speaker: That right there, that match right there is already written.

Speaker: Paige versus Mercedes.

Speaker: Oh, God.

Speaker: But I just don't know if her neck can hold up to anything.

Speaker: Maybe Mercedes is hitting it harder this time around.

Speaker: Yes, I don't know if her neck can actually hold up to anything.

Speaker: That little piece of sewing thread that got her neck held tight is... We don't need to.

Speaker: We don't need to test those waters.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: We don't need to do that.

Speaker: So what was your match of the night for AEW?

Speaker: Oh, wait.

Speaker: Did you give your match of the night for WWE?

Speaker: I think I was going to give it to Nia versus Valkyria just because of...

Speaker: Well, first of all, the match was good.

Speaker: The match was a good David and Goliath type of deal.

Speaker: I love how... I want to say this.

Speaker: I'm going to ask you.

Speaker: Do you believe... Because it was David and Goliath.

Speaker: Do you believe that match David and Goliath was better than Mercedes and Willow's David and Goliath?

Speaker: Because... Similar.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: And shout out to whoever did Willow's hair.

Speaker: Honestly.

Speaker: Because it was eaten.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: She looked good.

Speaker: She looked good.

Speaker: She looked good.

Speaker: I need to think of my double or nothing match of the night because that Jericho match just ruined it clouded everything for me.

Speaker: So I actually fell asleep.

Speaker: I didn't even see the match.

Speaker: I fell asleep on most of it.

Speaker: Like literally I seen them walk to the ring and next thing I know it was already the match for Dean Ambrose.

Speaker: I was like what happened to the last match?

Speaker: Who won?

Speaker: Oh god man that was it was bad.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: I don't know if... I don't know.

Speaker: That's a good question, Terrell.

Speaker: That's a good question.

Speaker: I think I might would go Nia and Lyra out of the two just because of what it meant for Lyra.

Speaker: Yeah, I think that... So, I don't think that Mercedes and Willow are a good matchup.

Speaker: their styles don't mesh well.

Speaker: What's her name?

Speaker: Mercedes is a big counter wrestler.

Speaker: But I just, I don't know.

Speaker: I just don't, I've seen Mercedes have such amazing matches with so many different women, no matter what the size is.

Speaker: And their match, the both of their matches that I've seen, I was just like, I do feel like they have enough room in a tank for one more.

Speaker: I just don't know what that match would be.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker: I don't know if I want to see it.

Speaker: I would like to see it.

Speaker: I think I would like to see it.

Speaker: We might get a triple threat on the horizon.

Speaker: I'm not like I meant that.

Speaker: So I think it can make things a little more interesting.

Speaker: I just need my good sister to change her finisher.

Speaker: I need her to change her finisher.

Speaker: You don't like her finisher?

Speaker: I've only seen it work.

Speaker: I like the finisher, but I've only seen it work maybe twice, maybe once, where it actually looked good.

Speaker: Like, she hit it on Stephanie Valkyr.

Speaker: It looked okay.

Speaker: She hit it on a couple of those girls on a Zoomy.

Speaker: It looked good on a Zoomy.

Speaker: But for her bigger opponents, like Willow, it's not going to work.

Speaker: At all.

Speaker: She needs to just do a different move for them.

Speaker: Yeah, she needs one that you can hit on everybody.

Speaker: I think she can maybe create another one and then just use both of them.

Speaker: That's essentially what Donnie was saying.

Speaker: The second one for the bigger people.

Speaker: That's essentially what Donnie was saying.

Speaker: No, he was like possibly create a whole new one.

Speaker: But that's not.

Speaker: Don't do that.

Speaker: What did you just say?

Speaker: I just said that she can use both.

Speaker: But she only has one, so what are you talking about?

Speaker: I'm saying, like, you know, use the current one for small people and then people like... And then use a new one for bigger people?

Speaker: Yeah, so she's going to have to delete one of them.

Speaker: So then essentially exactly what Donnie just said.

Speaker: He was like, just delete the other one.

Speaker: He didn't say that.

Speaker: He said it works for the little girls, but for her bigger opponents, it's not going to work.

Speaker: But I would also vote to delete.

Speaker: I would also like to say.

Speaker: I like the move when it works.

Speaker: I think the issue more so, I think, is that she's short, and I think that there's not enough, like, she's too close to the ground, so her trying to do the maneuver, it's only going to work with women that are her height or a little bit shorter.

Speaker: She can't do it with, like, a Jamie Hayter.

Speaker: We saw it, what was it on, that was Collision or Rampage, I can't remember when she tried to get Chris Statlin her up, and it didn't quite

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Because it's like, Chris Allen, all you got to do is stand up, girl.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: Just don't look.

Speaker: So, it's like... I've been a huge proponent.

Speaker: I would love to see her do the Viseko knee that Daniel Bryan uses.

Speaker: You know this fucking knee thing?

Speaker: She's been saying that for weeks.

Speaker: Because I see it.

Speaker: I see it.

Speaker: She needs... It's literally like...

Speaker: She can use that on anybody.

Speaker: She can't use that because Daniel Bryan is using that currently and they're on the same promotion.

Speaker: It's not going to work.

Speaker: Toni Storm uses a power driver and, um... It's a power driver, though.

Speaker: It's different.

Speaker: Everybody uses a power driver.

Speaker: Not as a finisher, they don't.

Speaker: But everybody uses a power driver.

Speaker: And hers isn't even that good, if we really want to talk about it.

Speaker: It's not that good, but she uses hers as a finisher and the guy... I forgot, um...

Speaker: His name just slipped my mind.

Speaker: He uses that as a finisher too on AEW.

Speaker: Fuck.

Speaker: I'm going to get back to you.

Speaker: I'm going to get back to you because I was watching him last night and I was like, so clearly he doesn't mean anything.

Speaker: A lot of them don't.

Speaker: Which leads me to my next point.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Some of those matches should have not even been on the card.

Speaker: It should have been.

Speaker: You okay, CT?

Speaker: I'm fine.

Speaker: What's up?

Speaker: I'm fine.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: You heard something?

Speaker: Oh, hold on.

Speaker: I feel like... I'm going to go get my charger, y'all.

Speaker: I feel like... You think that he would have got his charger before we started?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: You would have thought.

Speaker: You would have thought that, but no.

Speaker: He just forgot.

Speaker: I hope this does not... I hope it doesn't... If his camera cuts off right now, this whole recording doesn't matter.

Speaker: And I have that damn lighting for nothing.

Speaker: The last hour.

Speaker: We have the lighting so we can see you.

Speaker: Are you getting hot?

Speaker: No, I ain't getting hot.

Speaker: I got two fans on me here.

Speaker: But a lot of those matches shouldn't have been on the card.

Speaker: The second, what was it?

Speaker: What match was it?

Speaker: The trios match was, could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: The match with Orange Cassidy could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: The Jericho match could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: The one with Jericho could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: So that's, how many matches were there?

Speaker: I think they're about like 10.

Speaker: Because that would have saved us an hour and a half.

Speaker: Just those three matches we named would have saved us an hour and a half.

Speaker: Let me see.

Speaker: Let me look at the entire match card for you.

Speaker: I have it here because I saved it somewhere.

Speaker: So I was saying, Donnie, that...

Speaker: That the match with the Trios match with Pac or Pac or whatever you pronounce his name.

Speaker: Could have been cut.

Speaker: Yeah, it could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: The one with Jericho could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: The Orange Cassidy match could have been on Dynamite.

Speaker: That last match that they had should never even have been happening.

Speaker: They should have ended the night with Strickland.

Speaker: Because what was that last match?

Speaker: What even was that?

Speaker: A high-ass mess.

Speaker: Mess.

Speaker: It was so all over the place.

Speaker: It just didn't.

Speaker: And then, what's his face?

Speaker: Lit him on fire.

Speaker: I'm like, what is going on here?

Speaker: I just want to know, who keep giving this man dangerous weaponry?

Speaker: I don't know, because it could have went bad.

Speaker: You never know.

Speaker: His luck has been terrible.

Speaker: It could have gone so badly for him.

Speaker: There were 13 matches on this card.

Speaker: And that's too much.

Speaker: How many?

Speaker: 13.

Speaker: Okay, so.

Speaker: List them all.

Speaker: List them all, CT.

Speaker: List them all from the top.

Speaker: Okay, you already hear this right here?

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: All right, so.

Speaker: In no particular order.

Speaker: Because I got this from Twitter.

Speaker: Okay, so.

Speaker: Or X, whatever you like to call it these days.

Speaker: Let me go.

Speaker: Y'all ready?

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So, match number one of 13.

Speaker: I'm scrolling up.

Speaker: Team AEW, Bryan Danielson, Cash Willard, Dax Hall, and Darby Allin versus the Anarchy in the Arena match.

Speaker: That weird match.

Speaker: That was one.

Speaker: I gave that match a two out of five, and it could have been cut.

Speaker: Next.

Speaker: Swerve versus Kristen Cage.

Speaker: That was one of the best matches of the night.

Speaker: Should have went on last.

Speaker: Willow versus Mercedes Monet.

Speaker: That was a decent match.

Speaker: Gotta keep it.

Speaker: Adam Copeland versus Malachi Black.

Speaker: It wasn't a bad match, but what are they really doing?

Speaker: Breaking knees.

Speaker: Because the way Edge jumped down off the top of that thing and landed on his feet.

Speaker: Actually, I'm sorry.

Speaker: Chop it.

Speaker: Next.

Speaker: I wouldn't have chopped the match.

Speaker: I felt like it served some type of purpose.

Speaker: I just don't know what the purpose is.

Speaker: It would have been great on Collision.

Speaker: Yeah, just saying.

Speaker: That would have been a good match on Collision, though.

Speaker: Absolutely.

Speaker: Next.

Speaker: John Mosley versus Konosuke Takeshita for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Eliminator match.

Speaker: I'm not a fan of Jon Moxley, but the match should have stayed.

Speaker: I love the match.

Speaker: It was a good match.

Speaker: Y'all know Jericho Hook and that shit person.

Speaker: Chop.

Speaker: Next.

Speaker: Orange Cassidy versus Trent Berita.

Speaker: Tony Storm versus Serena Deeb.

Speaker: It's Deeb's, I think.

Speaker: They wouldn't chop it, though.

Speaker: The match wasn't bad.

Speaker: And they needed another woman's match, so it was fine to stay.

Speaker: It should have actually been the first match.

Speaker: Unified AEW Trios Championship match.

Speaker: Chop.

Speaker: Chop.

Speaker: Roger Strong versus Will Ospreay.

Speaker: My match of the night.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: That was good.

Speaker: It shouldn't have been first.

Speaker: Shouldn't have been first at all.

Speaker: Should have been towards the end.

Speaker: Because the match that came after it, you have to come after that.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: The pacing was very bad in the show.

Speaker: Oh, the pacing was terrible.

Speaker: That's not 13 matches, is that?

Speaker: No, I'm not done yet.

Speaker: I'm not done.

Speaker: Oh, the other ones were... The Acclaimed... That was on the pre-show.

Speaker: Billy Gunn versus Cage of Agony, and then we had Thunder Rosa versus Deonna Perez, and then The Elite.

Speaker: Well, never mind.

Speaker: All those were on the pre-show?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: Deanna Woods.

Speaker: The Deanna Rosa Woods.

Speaker: Yo, the Acclaim one was on the pre-show as well because the first match of the night was actually the Will Allspreay match.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Those were the two pre-show matches.

Speaker: That's it.

Speaker: You named three matches, though, didn't you?

Speaker: No, I think he was still going on them because they're not any in particular order.

Speaker: That's 13?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I counted 13, yeah.

Speaker: Or 10, 12, I don't know.

Speaker: 10, 10.

Speaker: Count them right now?

Speaker: Hold on.

Speaker: I'm going to go back up.

Speaker: Go back up again.

Speaker: So y'all start counting.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Team AEW, then Anarchy and Arena.

Speaker: Or you could just count when you see it.

Speaker: Okay, so that's one.

Speaker: Then we had Swerve and Christian, that's two.

Speaker: Then Willow and Mercedes.

Speaker: TNT, Belt, Edge, Adam, Old Man.

Speaker: Jon Moxley, Jericho to mid-match, that's six.

Speaker: Orange Cassie and Trent, seven.

Speaker: Tony and Serena, eight.

Speaker: Unified AEW trios, championship match, that's nine.

Speaker: Roderick and Will, that's ten.

Speaker: Ten on the main show.

Speaker: Ten on the main show.

Speaker: And then the other two were... And it was two or three on the... So it was 12 matches.

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: And then Thunder Rosa and Kiana was pre-show, right?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I didn't watch any of the pre-show matches.

Speaker: That was a good match.

Speaker: I would have rather seen that than seen Tony Storm in Serena Deeb's.

Speaker: Apologies, people.

Speaker: Not 13 matches.

Speaker: It was actually 12 matches total.

Speaker: But same thing, Tomato Tomato.

Speaker: Too many of them.

Speaker: When you can still cut half of your card.

Speaker: Yeah, it's a problem.

Speaker: It's a problem.

Speaker: And where was the storytelling?

Speaker: Oh, they don't have storytelling.

Speaker: That's the problem.

Speaker: Mercedes be trying to give them some storytelling, but the rest of them don't know how to do it.

Speaker: They don't know how to do it.

Speaker: She's giving y'all a formula.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Now, I will say this Nick Wayne and Swerve is kind of giving it to me, but I need them to give me just a little bit more.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Well, that's because he was taught storytelling.

Speaker: That's true.

Speaker: At the other place.

Speaker: That's true.

Speaker: They're just trying to do it for us, too, but we just don't care about the story.

Speaker: Or the teller.

Speaker: He can't tell it no more.

Speaker: He need to go.

Speaker: Go home.

Speaker: So who's you guys' double or nothing match of the nights?

Speaker: Will.

Speaker: Will.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I was going to give it to Mercedes and the other chick, Willow.

Speaker: The other chick is crazy.

Speaker: I liked Willow.

Speaker: I mean, not Willow.

Speaker: I mean, Will and that boy.

Speaker: I liked that match.

Speaker: That was good.

Speaker: I would have never given that Mercedes-Benz match of the night.

Speaker: I like the Strickland match, but I felt like it was a little too long.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: I felt like it should have been a little short.

Speaker: Like they were trying to overcompensate for him not being booked as a champion.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And then, like, when we talk about Strickland, I was like, I remember he was wrestling, but I forgot who he was wrestling, and then it dawned on me was Christian.

Speaker: Um...

Speaker: And then that last match, I was like, when there's like our triple main event, I said, it's, if it was, it was already eight o'clock here.

Speaker: So I'm like, Dan, it's 10 o'clock over there.

Speaker: And we still got a good two hours.

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: That's, and to me, I feel like Tony Khan has an inability to make good pay-per-view choices.

Speaker: Because he just wants to fit all of his toys in one box.

Speaker: You can't fit all your toys in that one box.

Speaker: You need another box.

Speaker: Put some of your toys in it.

Speaker: Why do you have 13 matches on a pay-per-view?

Speaker: Yeah, and I think that the biggest problem I felt like with the matches is that...

Speaker: Any of these matches could have been on Dynamite and I wouldn't have thought anything different.

Speaker: Because these are the level of matches that you give us every week anyways.

Speaker: And I think they need to go away with these trios titles.

Speaker: I think that's the dumbest fucking thing.

Speaker: Because it's not working.

Speaker: The only reason why you have so many damn trio titles is because you have, again, so many toys and you want them all to be seen.

Speaker: Keep the trios titles on Ring of Honor.

Speaker: Have that a Ring of Honor exclusive.

Speaker: Who watches Ring of Honor?

Speaker: Nobody.

Speaker: But the thing I think he's trying to make is if you have the trios championships on Ring of Honor exclusively only on Ring of Honor pay-per-views as well, then people will probably be more inclined to tune in to Ring of Honor.

Speaker: We're not turning into Ring of Honor to see them trios titles.

Speaker: There's a fan base for the trios championships though.

Speaker: There is.

Speaker: There is.

Speaker: Do you guys watch Ring of Honor at all?

Speaker: I used to.

Speaker: Tony Khan's Ring of Honor?

Speaker: Hell no.

Speaker: I don't watch Ring of Honor.

Speaker: I will say I think the best women's champion that they have is Athena.

Speaker: By far.

Speaker: But nobody gets to see her because she's on Ring of Honor.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: Tony Khan's Ring of Honor is absolute hot garbage.

Speaker: I don't watch that show.

Speaker: And quite as a kid, Athena should have actually been the one to dethrone Jade Cargill.

Speaker: Thank you.

Speaker: No, she really should have got that in the midst of all that interim women's championship mess that they had going on between Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter and Toni Storm.

Speaker: She should have been the one that got that title bill.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Boom.

Speaker: Arguably, we should have been seen last night.

Speaker: It should have been Athena and Mercedes and not Mercedes and Willow.

Speaker: Now, that would have been a good match.

Speaker: And that's the match I'm still waiting on.

Speaker: I'm still waiting on the one-on-one with them.

Speaker: That would have been a good match.

Speaker: But she needs to get away from Ring of Honor.

Speaker: It's not working.

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: And really, honestly, if we want to talk about it, AEW right now with the women roster that they have, they could really have their big six.

Speaker: Big six or seven.

Speaker: If you count Mercedes, Athena, Toni, Jamie Hayden when she comes back, Willow, Chris Statlander, and who else?

Speaker: I mean, obviously, Britt Baker is somewhere floating around.

Speaker: Do you still have Deonna and Thunder?

Speaker: They have a stacked women's roster they could really do some damage with.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: I haven't really seen too many Britt Baker's matches before.

Speaker: I like her as a person.

Speaker: I'm not missing much.

Speaker: But yeah, the matches that I've seen, she watches a lot.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: She's good as a dentist, but that's it.

Speaker: Her character work, though, I like.

Speaker: I like her character work.

Speaker: I think that... She should just stay in people's teeth and not in the ring.

Speaker: I think she has... Oh, that was shady.

Speaker: I think she has a purpose in a... Because she's an AEW original, you're not going to see that many women that can tout that flag.

Speaker: You know?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: She's the only one that could really do that, and it actually means something.

Speaker: So you need somebody like Rick Baker in AEW because she's AEW sweetheart.

Speaker: Yeah, she has a role.

Speaker: I'm not saying that she doesn't have a role.

Speaker: It's just that she just needs to, like, get something significant is what I'm trying to say.

Speaker: Yeah, for a long time, it looked like she was turning into Charlotte Flair.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: AEW has the best roster in the world, but it doesn't feel like that.

Speaker: Sad part.

Speaker: They have one of the most talented roster's we've ever seen.

Speaker: Because they have so many, just so many freaking people.

Speaker: It's too many.

Speaker: Yeah, like you forget.

Speaker: And then they be having like these random ass matches.

Speaker: So you have someone that's so good with someone that sucks that why would you even pair them up together?

Speaker: Because we already know who's going to win this match.

Speaker: And then they want to have a good match.

Speaker: So they dumbed down their talent to match with this person that can't really wrestle.

Speaker: So it's just not believable.

Speaker: They're having the problems that WWE had in 2018.

Speaker: And then they want to just throw more stuff at us.

Speaker: So they give us random ass matches with people from New Japan wrestling.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I don't think there's nothing wrong with it.

Speaker: I just think you still need to do what you need to do still.

Speaker: it wouldn't be a problem if they didn't have so many of their own main people on, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Like, if they had a roster the size of TNA and then they brought in New Japan wrestlers, it would be more hype to what they're doing.

Speaker: But you got 50 trillion niggas on your team, and you barely can find time for these ones that you got.

Speaker: And then, I love Clio Fletcher.

Speaker: I think he's amazing.

Speaker: I love Clio Fletcher.

Speaker: But he, does he even wrestle on his own brand?

Speaker: What's his own brand?

Speaker: Ring of Honor.

Speaker: Ain't he the champ still over there?

Speaker: Or did he lose that belt?

Speaker: I have no idea, because I don't watch that show.

Speaker: Me either.

Speaker: I've only been seeing him on AEW, so I couldn't answer that for you.

Speaker: When he fought Will Alsprey, he was the champ on Ring of Honor.

Speaker: And he ain't left AEW since.

Speaker: So, like...

Speaker: It's just that they have all these shows and they still can't properly utilize talent.

Speaker: Because the reason why is Mr. Tony Khan does not want to give anybody any leverage and creative or have a creative team.

Speaker: Tony Khan doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

Speaker: Tony Khan want to be in competition where he can't compete.

Speaker: They never did.

Speaker: Why did they even bring him out there if they wasn't going to do nothing with him?

Speaker: They were rolling.

Speaker: He was groveling.

Speaker: That's what he was Baby Tony was rolling I said go ahead then Tony I need somebody to edit the theme song of the video Put that song on it and just watch It's accurate He was rolling But Tony Get this man off my TV

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: Get this man off my teeth.

Speaker: And I also feel like he doesn't set standards for each of his shows.

Speaker: He wants all of his ratings to be a dynamite rating, which is not going to be.

Speaker: I feel like Repay should have it set.

Speaker: I wonder how his pay-per-views are doing.

Speaker: I mean, because we buy them.

Speaker: Yeah, but they're not getting that many buys.

Speaker: They're like maybe 50 to 100,000, 150,000 buys.

Speaker: I would think that by now he would have some type of deal with the TBS or TNT where they stream like we have with Peacock to have these pay-per-views live on their app.

Speaker: But TBS and TNT are too scared to invest in AEW like that per reports.

Speaker: They still have not gotten a TV deal yet.

Speaker: And it's almost coming up.

Speaker: How have they not gotten a TV deal if they're on TV?

Speaker: But I mean, their contract is coming up for their current TV, though.

Speaker: They haven't re-signed a new one with them yet.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: For which one?

Speaker: TBS or TNT or both?

Speaker: For Dynamite, I believe.

Speaker: The Dynamite one's coming up.

Speaker: What is that on?

Speaker: TBS?

Speaker: TNT?

Speaker: I don't even know what they come on no more.

Speaker: Is Dynamite on TBS?

Speaker: Or is that TNT?

Speaker: I think it's TBS.

Speaker: It's TBS.

Speaker: Dynamite's on TBS.

Speaker: But it's only the same company, though.

Speaker: Because the TBS title and the TNT title be on the same show sometimes.

Speaker: They do.

Speaker: They do.

Speaker: It's weird.

Speaker: And you name the fucking title after a channel.

Speaker: Be fucking for real.

Speaker: I can never take you seriously.

Speaker: And that would be really odd if they are not with them anymore.

Speaker: That's what you do with a title.

Speaker: That's insane.

Speaker: So why would you name a championship after a network that you might not be on by the end of the year?

Speaker: Well, I mean, that's how it's been there for a minute, though.

Speaker: Imagine.

Speaker: Then what's Machete's gonna do with that belt?

Speaker: They're gonna have to rename it?

Speaker: Or throw it away?

Speaker: They're gonna have to make it.

Speaker: I think they might end up merging the... I think they need to have two women belts, though.

Speaker: Yeah, but you can't have one named after a channel.

Speaker: You should have been smarter than that.

Speaker: Well, he's not.

Speaker: He's not.

Speaker: He thinks that he has all the money in the world that he can just put money on his problems and they just go away.

Speaker: Pretty soon he needs to cut some of these people.

Speaker: He's paying them all these new wrestlers so much money that... I know he's leveraging.

Speaker: Because the big three by themselves cost him a nice penny.

Speaker: Mercedes, Kazushka, and Will Ospreay.

Speaker: That was a nice penny.

Speaker: I definitely think that he's putting some of his football money into this company.

Speaker: 100%.

Speaker: Gotta be.

Speaker: No way.

Speaker: It's just his money.

Speaker: He needs to cut some of these people.

Speaker: He needs to pressure wash this motherfucker.

Speaker: That's probably one of... And clean this bitch up a little.

Speaker: That's probably one of the coldest lines we've had all year.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: And he really needs us.

Speaker: That's a housewife.

Speaker: Oh, no.

Speaker: Married to Madison.

Speaker: Yes, Married to Madison.

Speaker: He really needs us.

Speaker: To be honest.

Speaker: Just saying, Tony, I'm always available.

Speaker: You know, I can do it via Zoom.

Speaker: You ain't got to put me in the office.

Speaker: Tony, I would just like to let you know I have a bachelor's degree in sociology.

Speaker: So if you want me to be a part of your DEI creativity, diversity and inclusion initiatives when it comes to your superstars, let me know.

Speaker: I work in STEM, Tony, so I have a great thing with technology.

Speaker: And I'm a writer, so, you know, you can always just come on down.

Speaker: And Terrell writes books.

Speaker: I mean, he gets it.

Speaker: I'm an author.

Speaker: He's an author.

Speaker: Certified Life Coach.

Speaker: Legit author, too, that has books.

Speaker: Published author.

Speaker: Published.

Speaker: So, you got the people right here.

Speaker: And a certified Life Coach.

Speaker: And clearly, by the looks of your backstage and the shit that be going on back there, y'all need somebody to talk to y'all.

Speaker: Yes, because some of them people need therapy.

Speaker: Y'all need human resources.

Speaker: They don't have human resources.

Speaker: They need to hire some people.

Speaker: They don't have human resources?

Speaker: It looks like they don't.

Speaker: No, the streets say they don't have no human resources.

Speaker: They don't.

Speaker: WWE has one.

Speaker: They don't.

Speaker: Pause.

Speaker: But what is WWE's human resources actually really doing for them anyways, though?

Speaker: all the shit that Vince McMahon was doing.

Speaker: I was about to say, I saw the cover number for Vince McMahon.

Speaker: I don't know what else they were doing.

Speaker: Nothing.

Speaker: They didn't speak to Tiffany.

Speaker: We still ain't gotten the problem.

Speaker: I mean, you know, I heard that the checks was checking, so they ain't do nothing.

Speaker: That's why.

Speaker: You know, human resources sound like a good job in WWE.

Speaker: You get paid for not doing what you're supposed to do.

Speaker: Doing nothing.

Speaker: You get a nice fat check.

Speaker: Then if something happens, you get paid more.

Speaker: Hit me up, WWE.

Speaker: Either one of the companies.

Speaker: I'm here for it.

Speaker: I would like to get paid for not doing my job.

Speaker: Oh, man.

Speaker: I would love an extra salary.

Speaker: That would be great.

Speaker: I don't believe that people should be getting fired.

Speaker: When I say that, I don't think anybody should lose their dream job or lose how they feed their family.

Speaker: However, comma.

Speaker: All these AEW people.

Speaker: I mean, there's going to be a good way to do it.

Speaker: I already knew that Tony Khan don't know what the fuck he's doing when he had all these handshake deals with these people.

Speaker: How do you have a handshake deal?

Speaker: No legit contracts.

Speaker: Well, that used to be an industry standard, so maybe he was kind of... Not now, though.

Speaker: No, definitely not now.

Speaker: 2024, you can't have handshake things like that.

Speaker: You need it in writing.

Speaker: On paper, bro.

Speaker: Or on the computer.

Speaker: Or email.

Speaker: Can't do that these days.

Speaker: That's terrible business.

Speaker: But they all been working for him, so... Must be some level of trust there.

Speaker: If something happened, you can lose some people like that.

Speaker: Tony Khan, I feel like they like him.

Speaker: I don't think that he's probably not a bad boss in a sense.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: He's a great businessman.

Speaker: He's a billionaire.

Speaker: He's clearly not a great businessman.

Speaker: He's not a great businessman.

Speaker: Money-wise, he is.

Speaker: No, money-wise, he's not.

Speaker: There's no way he can be.

Speaker: All these people that he's giving money to that ain't fucking doing anything.

Speaker: He pays his people well.

Speaker: That's what I'll say.

Speaker: Just because he pays his people well does not mean that he's a good money man.

Speaker: Because I'm going to let you know something.

Speaker: In this world of capitalism, anytime the top of your organization are making X amount of money, somebody at the bottom has to be picking up the slack and not getting paid as much or getting cut.

Speaker: Yeah, I need to see these books.

Speaker: He's going to run into a budget issue very soon.

Speaker: That's exactly what happened with WCW.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: They got all these heavy hitters that, at the time, really, the prime was over, but they had big names like Hulk Hogan, the Macho Mans, and all these people, whatever, that they were paying them so much money that they had no... Vince McMahon was able to buy them out because they couldn't afford to cut... What's the term?

Speaker: hit the bottom line or whatever.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I believe they were owned by Warner or something like that.

Speaker: Time Warner owned them and they just couldn't fund them anymore.

Speaker: Even though Time Warner made a lot of money.

Speaker: They were very popular.

Speaker: It's just like with any company.

Speaker: We make X amount of dollars, but we have to, you know.

Speaker: You still got to break even at some point.

Speaker: Exactly, and they weren't breaking even.

Speaker: They were actually overspending.

Speaker: Because they got motherfucking Hulk Hogan eating up their whole bank account.

Speaker: I can give you all an example.

Speaker: This is like a gaming example.

Speaker: I'll just say EA Sports, for example, they made $1.2 billion.

Speaker: I like how you said it.

Speaker: Like if the game just turned on.

Speaker: It's in the game.

Speaker: Yeah, it's in the game.

Speaker: They made a billion dollars last year, but that's only one division.

Speaker: That's not the entire company.

Speaker: The entire company didn't make a billion dollars.

Speaker: So Tony Khan could make billions from his football team, but that doesn't mean AEW is making that same amount of money.

Speaker: What football team did he have?

Speaker: Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker: He owns them.

Speaker: What are they doing, though?

Speaker: They're doing nothing on the field, though.

Speaker: Suck.

Speaker: So how much money are they making?

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: The NFL is profitable, so I don't know how much money they make.

Speaker: His favorite team is the Jaguars.

Speaker: I ain't ever heard somebody say, oh, my favorite team is the Jaguars.

Speaker: People in Florida.

Speaker: That's people you heard that say that.

Speaker: They're not nationally known.

Speaker: A nationally known team.

Speaker: Leave it to Florida.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Anything else you got for us, Donnie?

Speaker: He didn't have anything for us this time.

Speaker: At all.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: We were just talking about the pay-per-views today.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So they're both lackluster.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Very much so both lackluster.

Speaker: This could have been a list episode.

Speaker: I'm not gonna lie to you.

Speaker: Yeah, this is, you know, they were just, they were just there, you know.

Speaker: I feel bad for people that paid $50 to watch this show.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I paid $50.

Speaker: Shut up.

Speaker: I feel they only paid for a Mercedes, though.

Speaker: I'm not gonna hold you.

Speaker: To be honest.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I don't know if that's the only one that's worked.

Speaker: I didn't.

Speaker: I seen her last match live and watched her first match on pay-per-view.

Speaker: And I actually could have went because it was just in Vegas.

Speaker: But AEW pay-per-views are... Have you guys ever been to one?

Speaker: I've only been to a show.

Speaker: They're actually really expensive.

Speaker: They're more expensive than... The WWE ones?

Speaker: Than WWE's.

Speaker: I will never go.

Speaker: I do not want to expose my nose to that type of foolishness.

Speaker: Their house shows or their weekly tapings are more expensive than WWE's pay-per-views.

Speaker: They are.

Speaker: It's out here in California.

Speaker: I can see it.

Speaker: AEW New Orleans, I believe we paid $782 for three seats.

Speaker: And this was in New Orleans.

Speaker: $782?

Speaker: For our seats.

Speaker: $100? $100?

Speaker: Oh, it was $782 total, so we had to split that by three people.

Speaker: $782.

Speaker: You didn't, you wasn't even having a job back then, so who, what was the third person?

Speaker: That's refund check money.

Speaker: That's where I was able to go.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Refund checks came in.

Speaker: That's where I was able to go.

Speaker: That's about $200 and something.

Speaker: Where were you sitting at?

Speaker: $260?

Speaker: Where were you sitting at?

Speaker: So I spun $260.

Speaker: It was almost close to the ramp.

Speaker: Sorry, why?

Speaker: But, yeah.

Speaker: That's how much it... It was $2.60 a pop.

Speaker: $7.82 total.

Speaker: So, do you guys use Game Time?

Speaker: I do not use Game Time.

Speaker: I'm going to tell you a trick or whatever.

Speaker: Concerts, wrestling events... The day of...

Speaker: Buy your ticket on game time, the day of, of the event.

Speaker: They're so cheap.

Speaker: So when I went to go to TNA, I wanted to go to, I'm not TNA, when I went to go to, what was it, NXT?

Speaker: I forget which pay-per-view it was.

Speaker: It was the one where Trick won the belt.

Speaker: Brooklyn?

Speaker: The first belt.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: Because I didn't go to fucking Brooklyn.

Speaker: Oh, God.

Speaker: I'm so tired.

Speaker: I'm sleepy.

Speaker: When he beat... Terrell who has it across the country?

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: When he beat... Stand and deliver.

Speaker: That's what I meant to say.

Speaker: There you go.

Speaker: Delivering.

Speaker: Yeah, there we go.

Speaker: No, not this past one, but the one that he beat, what's his name?

Speaker: Dominique Mysterio for back in, I think it was like September, October.

Speaker: North American title.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So that was in Bakersfield, which is like two hours away from me.

Speaker: I wanted to go because it was just in Bakersfield, so I wanted to go.

Speaker: So I bought really, really cheap tickets for like 20 something dollars in the nosebleeds.

Speaker: So when I got there...

Speaker: I want the closer to the time to the pay-per-view, the remaining seats that they have left open are cheaper.

Speaker: So I bought, I wasn't front row, but I was like really close.

Speaker: And I spent an extra $50 per ticket.

Speaker: And I was really, really close.

Speaker: When Beyonce tickets were really expensive.

Speaker: I was going to go the day of.

Speaker: They had front row tickets for only $100 if you buy them day of game time.

Speaker: So download the game time app.

Speaker: Literally the day of, if you want, if you're just like, I want to go to the show or whatever.

Speaker: The day of, the tickets will be cheap and you'll be closer than what?

Speaker: I'm going to make sure it's the right app.

Speaker: Like people were buying tickets or whatever and they spent all this money and they're sitting in the nosebleeds and I spent way less and I'm sitting down here because they're just trying to get the last minute tickets gone.

Speaker: So download the GameTime app if anybody's listening to this.

Speaker: This is a plug and I'm not getting paid for this, but yeah.

Speaker: I was going to say, is this a commercial?

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: Download the GameTime app.

Speaker: GameTime last minute tickets.

Speaker: We need to check now.

Speaker: Endorsement.

Speaker: Endorsement.

Speaker: You can endorse the Against the Ropes podcast.

Speaker: Right?

Speaker: Lovely.

Speaker: Click this link.

Speaker: Click this link down below.

Speaker: If you like the sponsor.

Speaker: No, for real.

Speaker: Against the Ropes.

Speaker: But, yeah, so tonight I heard that they said Triple H is going to say something about the Randy Orton and Gunther match.

Speaker: They just need to leave it alone.

Speaker: I wouldn't be mad.

Speaker: I wouldn't be mad.

Speaker: The reason why Randy Orton should, like, him and Cody Rhodes should main event SummerSlam anyways.

Speaker: But it also kind of reinforces Randy's kind of role in it.

Speaker: Because we all know Gunther is going to choose Randy Orton.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: And so that's a ready set storyline.

Speaker: I mean, not Randy Orton.

Speaker: Sorry, Cody Rhodes.

Speaker: We all know he's going to choose Cody Rhodes.

Speaker: He can't.

Speaker: He can't?

Speaker: No, when Triple H announced it, he said that whoever wins, they will have the world title on their prospective brands.

Speaker: So Gunther's going to fight the winner of Damien and... Thank you.

Speaker: Oh, yes.

Speaker: Yes, exactly.

Speaker: So Cody and Orton can fight at some or some regardless of the fact.

Speaker: Like, it doesn't need... It didn't need it.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So that's probably what's going to happen is Randy's going to get an opportunity to probably fight Cody.

Speaker: But you're going to have to find a story to get there for SummerSlam.

Speaker: The story's already dated.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't feel like he needs a story.

Speaker: Well, I mean, like, to get the shot.

Speaker: Like, he needs to become number one.

Speaker: He literally can just say, I would have won that match.

Speaker: My shoulders weren't down.

Speaker: Like, Cody, I want to fight you.

Speaker: And Cody's going to be like, okay, I'm down for the fight.

Speaker: He can literally just say, I made it the furthest out of anybody on this brand.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Okay, that's your story.

Speaker: He technically should be number one contender.

Speaker: Or he's got to say, who else is going to fight him?

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: Who else is there?

Speaker: Or he's going to say, nigga, you used to work for me.

Speaker: Don't forget where you come from.

Speaker: You used to work for me.

Speaker: You was in legacy, boy.

Speaker: You was in... I made that group.

Speaker: I did that.

Speaker: It was my legacy.

Speaker: Not yours.

Speaker: If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here.

Speaker: You'd be in jail with your old tag team partner.

Speaker: Evading his exes.

Speaker: Who's his old tag team?

Speaker: Oh, never mind.

Speaker: I

Speaker: He has so much potential, too.

Speaker: Not taxes.

Speaker: You didn't pay your taxes, brother?

Speaker: He didn't pay his taxes.

Speaker: He did have potential.

Speaker: He did.

Speaker: He just didn't want to wrestle no more.

Speaker: He had a good deed song, too.

Speaker: He didn't want to do a lot of things he was supposed to do.

Speaker: Maybe if he would have kept wrestling, he would have had some money to pay some of those back taxes.

Speaker: And he wouldn't be in the position that he's in.

Speaker: Yeah, like, you didn't even get fired, really.

Speaker: You didn't want to wrestle no more.

Speaker: You just quit.

Speaker: You quit and went in debt on your own.

Speaker: And in jail.

Speaker: And in jail.

Speaker: Yikes.

Speaker: While Cody... The shade writes itself.

Speaker: He finally finished his story.

Speaker: And when is... So, when is this... What is it?

Speaker: Why is 6 coming?

Speaker: Because... I don't know.

Speaker: I feel like they have to go on Raw.

Speaker: They gotta go on Raw.

Speaker: SmackDown is too heavy.

Speaker: not for the men, it's not really.

Speaker: But because of the whole thing with the bloodline, it makes no sense for them to go over there.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So they need to go on Raw.

Speaker: No time to develop if they go to SmackDown.

Speaker: Raw needs a big story.

Speaker: Okay, and at this point, what is the bloodline really doing now?

Speaker: Bringing in new members.

Speaker: But to go against what?

Speaker: Like, they're not really doing nothing no more.

Speaker: I feel like they're good enough for Bloodline Civil War 2.0.

Speaker: They have to because none of them are ready to fight Cody.

Speaker: At all.

Speaker: Some of them are not a main.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: And I mean, Tematoga could probably go with Cody.

Speaker: They have history.

Speaker: Yeah, but like, how they're using him right now, like, he's like, no.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: He's just like a dog.

Speaker: And is his brother even going to fight?

Speaker: Or is he just going to be there in a suit?

Speaker: Now, the Simpsons people be wearing look good on them, though.

Speaker: I will say that.

Speaker: They do.

Speaker: But he's kind of used to just being there.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And I'm fine with it.

Speaker: I just want to know, like, what are we doing?

Speaker: I don't even need to know.

Speaker: Where's Jacob?

Speaker: And does Jacob need to go with them, or does he need to help out Jay, or... Jacob can't go with them, because Solo is supposed to be where Jacob is, currently.

Speaker: Jacob cannot go with them.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: Jacob is going to eat them up.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Yeah, Solo really should have a... Solo really should have a... I don't know.

Speaker: You said he gonna eat them up.

Speaker: He is.

Speaker: He needs to be with the Usos because the Usos are not good on their own.

Speaker: That... I didn't mean for that to come out like that.

Speaker: I promise I didn't.

Speaker: He needs to be with the Usos because... That's what I just... When they drafted Jay to Raw, it made no sense to me.

Speaker: Because if they drafted him to SmackDown, they could have literally livened this whole thing up.

Speaker: But now that he's on Raw, it just didn't make any sense that they did it that way.

Speaker: I'm kind of happy they took him to Raw because... Give him a break from his bloodline.

Speaker: I know, but I'm saying like...

Speaker: He had a break, but he still needed J-time.

Speaker: And now I'm seeing J-time isn't working, so put him back with his brother expeditiously.

Speaker: But I had to tell y'all that it wasn't working.

Speaker: Y'all was like, no.

Speaker: Because you didn't let it give no time.

Speaker: I didn't let it get some time and marinate it, and it's still not working.

Speaker: They say, what's the thing?

Speaker: You got to see it before you see it?

Speaker: I seen it before I seen it.

Speaker: I seen it before I seen it, too, but I would have liked to have been proven wrong.

Speaker: Like, at this point, he should have just had one of the belts, and they didn't give him nothing.

Speaker: And now he don't, now at this point, it's... I feel like it's still there.

Speaker: I just need more than a super kick to get to that opportunity.

Speaker: I just... More than a super kick is funny.

Speaker: Give me a chin lock.

Speaker: Give me a wrist lock.

Speaker: Give me a hip toss.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: They're doing all that.

Speaker: Give me more than a super tick and an uppercut.

Speaker: I can't.

Speaker: You said a super tick.

Speaker: Did I say super tick?

Speaker: I meant to say super kick.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: It might have been my gap.

Speaker: What's the correct term for gap?

Speaker: There's actually a correct term for it.

Speaker: What is it?

Speaker: I heard it not too long ago.

Speaker: And it's like, it's not a disorder or anything like that, but it's a, there's a, it's a, there's a term for people that have gaps and it's how your teeth or your gums are or something like that.

Speaker: But there's, it's the thing I heard it the other day.

Speaker: I said, and I said, Oh, this was Donnie has.

Speaker: Let's ask Britt Baker.

Speaker: She would know.

Speaker: Or Heavenly.

Speaker: Heavenly gonna get me right.

Speaker: She always be talking that DMD, so she'll know.

Speaker: Heavenly gonna give me that good old over yonder.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Do you watch Married to Medicine CT?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Oh, okay.

Speaker: That's why I got that reference very fast.

Speaker: I didn't feel like you watch Marriage of Medicine.

Speaker: I'm watching CT.

Speaker: I don't feel like he watches it.

Speaker: Name two people off of Marriage of Medicine.

Speaker: Your favorite person on Marriage of Medicine, CT.

Speaker: Why y'all put me on the glass?

Speaker: He's lying.

Speaker: He is on the glass.

Speaker: She got it.

Speaker: She got it.

Speaker: She got it.

Speaker: I wish Mariah would come back.

Speaker: The truth ain't in the bitch.

Speaker: Yo, it ain't.

Speaker: I can't stand it.

Speaker: Tacky Toya, treacherous tea.

Speaker: I haven't seen a show in... You need to watch this motherfucker.

Speaker: Now, the reference that y'all said, I caught the reference, but I haven't seen a show in like a few years.

Speaker: It's been about like a couple years.

Speaker: You said you wasn't going to lie on this podcast.

Speaker: That's a lot.

Speaker: I haven't seen the show in a few years.

Speaker: But you remember that reference?

Speaker: Yes, because it was a good-ass reference.

Speaker: That's why I remember it.

Speaker: Okay, where was it at then?

Speaker: Where did they say it at?

Speaker: Oh, sorry.

Speaker: I remember my blankers.

Speaker: But you remember the reference.

Speaker: My thinking cap.

Speaker: It was a few years ago, Torelli.

Speaker: Y'all act like I can remember things like that.

Speaker: Do you remember WrestleMania 34?

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: That was 2016.

Speaker: Or 18.

Speaker: Well, it was eight years ago, okay.

Speaker: You know, that's a long time.

Speaker: Do you remember something?

Speaker: I'm going to get back to you on that one.

Speaker: Did you say he's going to call his best?

Speaker: I hate reference, though.

Speaker: Diastema is a medical term for a gap.

Speaker: There you go.

Speaker: Diastema.

Speaker: Diastema.

Speaker: Well, that's what you got.

Speaker: I know.

Speaker: I might have a few people that I can call for medical terms in the future.

Speaker: Well, you don't need to.

Speaker: You just said it.

Speaker: Well, I'm just talking about in general.

Speaker: What kind of doctors?

Speaker: Well, doctors that deal with, you know, when you need medicine, you know, therapy doctors, mental health doctors, you know, those doctors.

Speaker: So psychiatrists?

Speaker: Yeah, my mutual people that I know, they're going to be very smart people in the future.

Speaker: So, it'll be great.

Speaker: Why did it get quiet?

Speaker: Y'all is funny.

Speaker: What is this place?

Speaker: Because I was like, where is he going with this?

Speaker: I was trying to hang on, CT.

Speaker: I was.

Speaker: I was just saying.

Speaker: What was you saying?

Speaker: You made a comment about medical terms, and I was like, yeah, I'll have people that I can call on if I need to know a term or something that's in the medical field.

Speaker: That was the comment I was making.

Speaker: That's all it was.

Speaker: Wasn't nothing deep.

Speaker: But yeah.

Speaker: Goodbye.

Speaker: But like we were talking about dentists and you don't know any dentists.

Speaker: Well, my sister was a dentist.

Speaker: He was talking about the psychiatrist.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: He said in the medical field.

Speaker: In the medical field.

Speaker: And then I said, what type of doctors you named psychiatrists?

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: Well, me neither.

Speaker: I don't need to.

Speaker: That's one doctor I don't want to see.

Speaker: Right?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I ain't seen mine in a long time.

Speaker: Are you all dressed up today?

Speaker: You got like a little 1970s look.

Speaker: You have a psychiatrist or a psychologist?

Speaker: Those are two different things.

Speaker: Yeah, a psychiatrist prescribe medicine.

Speaker: Yes, I know.

Speaker: I'm just saying.

Speaker: Psychologist.

Speaker: I'm not getting in your business right now.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: Let me not do this on camera.

Speaker: Oh, do I have one?

Speaker: No, I don't have one.

Speaker: Because, I mean, like, people go to psychiatrists for, like, depression and stuff like that.

Speaker: That's completely fine.

Speaker: That's not what I was talking about when I said I hope to never need one.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: I was talking about, like, schizophrenia and shit.

Speaker: Oh, hell, hell.

Speaker: No, I don't got it.

Speaker: I'm good.

Speaker: Well, I don't think you do, but you're only 21, so you may not find out until you... Don't say you don't got it yet, because you might have it, and you just don't know you have it, and you'll find out by 25 if you actually got it or not.

Speaker: Because it could also be hereditary.

Speaker: Does anybody in your family got it?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: That's one thing my sperm donor does.

Speaker: Your sperm donor does?

Speaker: How old are you, though?

Speaker: I'm 25.

Speaker: Oh, well, if you ain't showing up, you ain't having it.

Speaker: So we're going to knock on wood.

Speaker: His didn't start developing until like 40 years.

Speaker: So that's not... But I feel like it was drug-induced.

Speaker: I feel like his is drug-induced, though.

Speaker: But he... We do have a history of mental illnesses and disorders.

Speaker: Yeah, I was like, that's not how this works.

Speaker: Usually with people that have... Like, they show signs before the age of 25.

Speaker: So if you don't show any signs by the age of 25, chances are you having it, you probably don't.

Speaker: And if you didn't notice it by the age of 25, that means that you just didn't notice it.

Speaker: It doesn't mean that it wasn't there.

Speaker: Yeah, so we're going to hope that it's not there.

Speaker: I feel like you're pretty normal, though.

Speaker: I don't know anybody in my family that has you.

Speaker: I know people that have high blood pressure, diabetes.

Speaker: Oh, so you're going to have the sugar.

Speaker: You got sugar.

Speaker: It's because of all them drinks that you be drinking.

Speaker: Yep, all them down my icees.

Speaker: I ain't going to have that stuff.

Speaker: No, I'm watching my stuff.

Speaker: You're probably going to be fat when you're in about 20 years.

Speaker: You're probably going to be big as hell.

Speaker: Don't make that face now.

Speaker: Remember I said that.

Speaker: When you get that pop belly.

Speaker: Let me tell you something.

Speaker: I'm going to remember this podcast 20 years from now.

Speaker: I'm going to tell you.

Speaker: That ain't happening.

Speaker: You lying about it.

Speaker: How you going to remember this?

Speaker: You can't even remember that reference that you lying about.

Speaker: First of all, this is going to be on YouTube, right?

Speaker: And on the Irish podcast.

Speaker: Is the reference not on YouTube?

Speaker: So the reference that Donnie was talking about earlier, we said it was from marriage medicine, which it was.

Speaker: And you said that you remember it.

Speaker: Who said what then?

Speaker: And who did they say it to?

Speaker: I told y'all it was eight years ago.

Speaker: I don't remember the exact specifics.

Speaker: Who said it was eight years ago?

Speaker: I just got the reference.

Speaker: No, WrestleMania 38.

Speaker: Whatever that was was eight years ago.

Speaker: Eight years ago.

Speaker: We never said this one.

Speaker: 34 was actually six years ago.

Speaker: Okay, well, anyways, regardless of the fact, we're not talking about that.

Speaker: We're talking about married to medicine and the reference that he used that you said you remember.

Speaker: Well, I was going to come back to that on that.

Speaker: But the thing that you just said, I'm going to have this in my notes, okay?

Speaker: I'm not going to forget this.

Speaker: I just want you to admit that you don't know the reference.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: I heard it before in a meme.

Speaker: It was a meme.

Speaker: Okay, so then you don't know the reference.

Speaker: You just remember seeing the clip.

Speaker: Yeah, I seen a clip in a meme.

Speaker: It was good.

Speaker: It was a funny clip.

Speaker: So a meme?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Or a clip?

Speaker: A meme.

Speaker: It was a meme.

Speaker: I seen it on YouTube.

Speaker: I was watching memes.

Speaker: Probably a clip that somebody used as a meme.

Speaker: You know how you can chop a clip up.

Speaker: And it was hilarious.

Speaker: And I thought it was so funny.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: That is the truth.

Speaker: Okay, so where were they at when they said this then?

Speaker: All I remember from the meme, they were in a room and it was just a bunch of crazy stuff happening.

Speaker: That's all I remember.

Speaker: That's it.

Speaker: They were in a room?

Speaker: Nigga.

Speaker: It's housewives, they're always in a room.

Speaker: Living room, I don't know.

Speaker: Marriage and medicine.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Well, anyways, it was at the reunion because you're not going to come back to us.

Speaker: It was at the reunion.

Speaker: And Dr. Heavenly said this about Mariah because she was trying to defend Dr. Simone.

Speaker: Dr. Simone's overbite.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: And then Dr. Heavenly said something about her little chicklets or whatever to Mariah.

Speaker: Well, yes.

Speaker: But, um, yeah.

Speaker: How do you have an over and an under bite, though?

Speaker: Over yonder.

Speaker: Mariah is crazy.

Speaker: Tell me what she said then.

Speaker: I love her.

Speaker: I love her.

Speaker: I love me some Mariah.

Speaker: Is Mariah a Scorpio?

Speaker: I don't know what she is, but when she said, I got the receipts, baby.

Speaker: Do you want the receipts, baby girl?

Speaker: And the little strut that she did with her arms when she came back in.

Speaker: That sounds like Scorpio energy or something.

Speaker: She got something.

Speaker: She's something.

Speaker: Mariah Hook.

Speaker: Oh, I love me some Mariah.

Speaker: I'm talking to what he's saying.

Speaker: She's a Scorpio, guys.

Speaker: You knew it.

Speaker: I never heard of October Scorpios being that interesting.

Speaker: I heard they're not that good.

Speaker: She's a hoot and a holler.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: So, I wonder what we're going to see today on, like, what are we really going to see today on Raw?

Speaker: Raw?

Speaker: Yeah, like the next couple of weeks.

Speaker: I mean, because we have the pay-per-view clash at the camp or clash at the castle, which no one really cares about.

Speaker: I'm assuming, like, I feel like... There really isn't an important pay-per-view until Money Bank.

Speaker: There's really no storylines right now, though.

Speaker: Let's see.

Speaker: For Roger advertising Braun Strowman coming back tonight.

Speaker: He's facing J.D.

Speaker: McDonough.

Speaker: Can I say something real quick?

Speaker: Before the church let out of service.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Why in the hell did they put Bianca and Jade on the pre-show?

Speaker: I think it was because it was a last minute announcement so they need to put them somewhere.

Speaker: That literally, I could not understand that.

Speaker: I literally couldn't understand.

Speaker: The match was good.

Speaker: Probably one of the better matches of the night.

Speaker: And then, what was I about to say about that?

Speaker: I forgot.

Speaker: What other matches were there, though, that could have went on the pre-show besides that one, though?

Speaker: But I'm just happy they gave women three matches.

Speaker: To be honest, nice size matches.

Speaker: And maybe they wanted to bring more attention to the pre-show.

Speaker: Because that would have done it, having them on there.

Speaker: Did you watch the pre-show?

Speaker: Yeah, I watched the pre-show.

Speaker: Why did you watch it?

Speaker: I always watch the pre-shows.

Speaker: It'd be on YouTube.

Speaker: Oh, I never watched the pre-shows.

Speaker: Yeah, I always watched the pre-shows.

Speaker: Because usually they don't really have magic on the pre-shows that much anymore.

Speaker: I like to hear all the talking and stuff, too.

Speaker: I don't want to hear none of them.

Speaker: I like to see Poppy feeling like that.

Speaker: I need to be slayed.

Speaker: I just don't understand because the tag titles feel like they feel good now.

Speaker: The tag titles feel good.

Speaker: They have a different air about them.

Speaker: But then you stuck them on a pre-show.

Speaker: That is true.

Speaker: However, they really ain't got no opponents.

Speaker: They don't have no opponents.

Speaker: And that's real.

Speaker: They're going to have to go down to NXT.

Speaker: But who do they got down there?

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: Just Lash and Chakala.

Speaker: Unless they put Natalya and what's-her-face together.

Speaker: Like I said, but they don't really got... Like, they were trying to put... What's our good sis name that just got moved up?

Speaker: What's her name?

Speaker: She got moved up to Raw.

Speaker: Lyra?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: I said our good sis.

Speaker: You all ain't Lyra!

Speaker: When I mean sis, I mean she's black.

Speaker: Black people.

Speaker: Kiana.

Speaker: Kiana.

Speaker: Kiana James.

Speaker: There you go.

Speaker: I was going to say Kiana Lede.

Speaker: But she was teaming up with that one girl, Easy Dane or whatever.

Speaker: And that was the tag team.

Speaker: They were decent.

Speaker: But then they split them up.

Speaker: That's one thing about WWE.

Speaker: They'll put a team together that we're like, okay, this could actually work.

Speaker: And then they just split them up.

Speaker: And then they put people together that don't work.

Speaker: When Randy Orton said he hurt my... When Randy Orton said he hurt my... They took out my tag team partner, Kevin Owens.

Speaker: I said, tag team partner?

Speaker: Y'all did a couple matches together.

Speaker: Tag team partner.

Speaker: Keanu James and Tiffany might be a cute team, but are they on different brands?

Speaker: They on different brands.

Speaker: I need you to follow us.

Speaker: I'm following.

Speaker: Well, there don't be shit to follow sometimes.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: Some of this shit would be very stale.

Speaker: And like, what are they going to do with Bayley now?

Speaker: Like, yeah, she's fighting Nia, but that ain't until August.

Speaker: They should have figured out what to do with Bayley the night Bayley won because Bayley been champion for three weeks now?

Speaker: But how long ago?

Speaker: See, they literally... They let us hold off because they get like, we'll let her fight Naomi because people love Naomi, so they're gonna love to see the match.

Speaker: And they were able to do that for a little while, knowing that they were just gonna keep the belt on Bayley.

Speaker: And then we'll just have Tiffany so then Naomi doesn't lose clean and Bayley doesn't lose.

Speaker: We'll have Tiffany interrupt it.

Speaker: And then we'll have it be a roll-up so it doesn't make Naomi look bad.

Speaker: But at the same time, what the fuck are y'all doing?

Speaker: Because...

Speaker: No idea what they're doing.

Speaker: Who else is there?

Speaker: Like, who else is really there?

Speaker: Like, now you got Bayley trying to be an interview with Papa Nivens and what's-her-face.

Speaker: So I guess that's what they're probably going to give us next, Papa Nivens versus, you know.

Speaker: But then on SmackDown, if they give us that, then we still have nothing for Naomi.

Speaker: We have nothing really for Jade and Bianca.

Speaker: I mean, because there's only so many times they can fight Candice LeRae and what's-her-face.

Speaker: What are we doing?

Speaker: It was looking promising for the women's division in WWE for a second.

Speaker: It was looking very promising.

Speaker: I don't know how in this past month, month and a half, AEW just... They need to give these women a mid-card title.

Speaker: They do.

Speaker: I feel like then these extra women that they really have nothing for, they have something to fight for.

Speaker: This money in the bank should really be the person that wins money in the bank actually gets the new Intercontinental Women's title or something.

Speaker: Or maybe even Queen of the Ring.

Speaker: I don't know you've been mad if Queen of the Ring goes for like a... Yes, something.

Speaker: I mean, I guess it is for something.

Speaker: They fight at SummerSlam now.

Speaker: I mean, it's for a cash-in.

Speaker: Like, it's for a chance.

Speaker: So it's like... Yeah.

Speaker: But come on now.

Speaker: Bayley beating Nia?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: If Nia don't sit on that girl and go about her business.

Speaker: Throw that little girl around.

Speaker: That's what I'm saying.

Speaker: It's probably going to be a good match, though, because their NXT matches are pretty, like, okay.

Speaker: Nia and Bayley's NXT matches?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I don't even remember them.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I want to say Nia was, like, Bayley's first match.

Speaker: NXT Women's Challenger, I think.

Speaker: They were on at the same time there?

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: I thought she was buying Asuka.

Speaker: I mean, Asuka was there, yes.

Speaker: Asuka beat her for it, but no.

Speaker: Asuka beat Bayley for the belt?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: I don't remember.

Speaker: It's been so long.

Speaker: Asuka beat Bayley for the belt, and then Asuka held it for a long-ass time.

Speaker: And really, whatever.

Speaker: And then, what's-her-face got it after that, right?

Speaker: Amber Moon?

Speaker: Yup.

Speaker: And didn't hold it for no time.

Speaker: She got it twice though.

Speaker: Her and Shayna had their little fuse.

Speaker: Those were some good matches.

Speaker: She didn't get the belt twice.

Speaker: She didn't?

Speaker: No, Shayna got it twice.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: I could have sworn.

Speaker: But Amber and Shayna did have a good match.

Speaker: They had two good matches.

Speaker: Two title matches.

Speaker: Back when Bayer was actually doing something with Shayna.

Speaker: And that's what I need them to do something with now.

Speaker: I think that they could actually beat Jade and Bianca.

Speaker: And if they team it up with Sonya Deville, I feel like this could actually be some type of faction feud or whatever.

Speaker: And then that right there, that actually is a good idea because then they can have the big three again because Sonya and Naomi already got the... They already don't like each other.

Speaker: Yeah, so this actually, this might not be that bad.

Speaker: Give me the studs versus the Trinity.

Speaker: Not the stud.

Speaker: The stud.

Speaker: I'm fucking dumb with you.

Speaker: Oh my gosh!

Speaker: Shani, really?

Speaker: I'm dead.

Speaker: You know what?

Speaker: That's no better way to end a podcast than that.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: Yes!

Speaker: I'm going to keep a strap!

Speaker: No, but I love them, though.

Speaker: Shout out to... These draft is crazy.

Speaker: I'm freaking done.

Speaker: Shout out to them.

Speaker: Shout out to them.

Speaker: I love y'all.

Speaker: I love y'all.

Speaker: Oh, man.

Speaker: Well, yeah, it's been real, y'all.

Speaker: But that gives us something for Trinity or Naomi.

Speaker: Yeah, like that actually, that works.

Speaker: It works.

Speaker: It works so well.

Speaker: It works.

Speaker: It works.

Speaker: Because realistically speaking, no matter where Bianca, Jade, Naomi go, they are main characters.

Speaker: This can bring up, yeah, the Trinity, the Holy Trinity.

Speaker: Holy.

Speaker: This brings up big three.

Speaker: Big three.

Speaker: Big three.

Speaker: This brings up, this brings up, I guess you could say, Shayna and what's the name?

Speaker: Sonya and... Zoe definitely needed.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: And that means that they don't need to win.

Speaker: They need to be a disqualification a couple times or something, you know, to build some type of storyline and then

Speaker: Naomi comes in and yeah.

Speaker: So I'm here for it.

Speaker: I'm here for it.

Speaker: If they do it right, it can work.

Speaker: It can literally work, but will they do it right?

Speaker: Will they do it right?

Speaker: That's the thing.

Speaker: That's the question.

Speaker: Will they do it right?

Speaker: It could work, but will they do it right?

Speaker: And then Naomi get the money in the bank.

Speaker: Cash it in on Naya.

Speaker: When Naya beats Bayley.

Speaker: And we have all of our black women with champions.

Speaker: So who do we want to win Royal Rumble?

Speaker: Because that's not too long from now.

Speaker: I haven't got that far.

Speaker: Lord, the way these months pass, it's going to be January.

Speaker: Watch it be Charlotte.

Speaker: No, she don't need to win it again.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: And honestly, that's what we need.

Speaker: That's what we need right now.

Speaker: But I feel like if Charlotte comes, she needs to be a heel.

Speaker: No, Charlotte needs to be healed.

Speaker: Face Charlotte never works.

Speaker: Yeah, it don't.

Speaker: I was going to say, when the last time that worked?

Speaker: Never.

Speaker: She needs to be healed.

Speaker: But she seems so likable behind the scenes.

Speaker: But I think that's something that's... I think that that's literally a good thing about her.

Speaker: Because I feel like the Charlotte character...

Speaker: There's such a difference between the Charlotte character and the Ashley person.

Speaker: And that's what I appreciate with you.

Speaker: I think what's crazy is that we actually, like, yeah, she was a heel, but I feel like we created that for her.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: Because, no, no, what I'm saying is she was a heel.

Speaker: But I feel like because she was a heel and we hated on her so much, being that who her daddy was and these opportunities that she's gotten, when she tried to turn face, we still didn't really care for her because you still got opportunities.

Speaker: It's not believable.

Speaker: It's not believable.

Speaker: It's not.

Speaker: And I feel like she's... Like, people hate on her so much, but I will say that when she gets in the ring, she backs it up every time.

Speaker: So you can't really hate too much.

Speaker: But then we need Alexa Bliss back.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: We need Carmella.

Speaker: Carmella's going to SmackDown.

Speaker: We do need Carmella.

Speaker: Carmella.

Speaker: So, and then... We need Nikki Cross.

Speaker: We never needed Nikki.

Speaker: You know how I feel about her.

Speaker: We need her exactly where she's at right now.

Speaker: Off team.

Speaker: Almost a superhero.

Speaker: And what's Mia doing?

Speaker: What has Mia always done since she's come to the main roster?

Speaker: She had a good match.

Speaker: Her and EOS Sky match was actually good.

Speaker: It was.

Speaker: And Mia is one of those people where if... She's one of those people that's kind of like Naomi, but very much so in the worst position.

Speaker: If you give her the opportunity, she's going to show you exactly what she can do.

Speaker: Her track record is so good.

Speaker: Like, she just has...

Speaker: I don't understand.

Speaker: She's on NXT right now.

Speaker: She has her match to qualify for the North American title shot for women, which she'll probably win.

Speaker: They need to get my sister out of catering.

Speaker: I'm tired.

Speaker: She probably got a plate in her hand right now.

Speaker: What I didn't understand is why the fuck was she over there?

Speaker: Overseas with them.

Speaker: If anybody could tell you, it'd probably be her because she definitely got a plate every week.

Speaker: CT, it says refresh your...

Speaker: CT's browser preventing him from recording.

Speaker: Ask CT to refresh his browser.

Speaker: Hopefully.

Speaker: Normally it'd be me.

Speaker: I feel so good.

Speaker: I feel so vindicated.

Speaker: I don't even have you on here anymore.

Speaker: Oh, CT?

Speaker: CT's not on there.

Speaker: Oh, he's gone.

Speaker: Oh, well, let's end the podcast now then.

Speaker: Thank y'all.

Speaker: You can find us on all social media.

Speaker: Here, he back again.

Speaker: That was weird.

Speaker: Something happened with my browser.

Speaker: It acted up, but I'm here.

Speaker: We about to close out and Terrell's going to work his 80 magic.

Speaker: Yeah, so hopefully, it says you're at 0% uploaded right now.

Speaker: Okay, now you're at 82.

Speaker: We should be able to pull what we got on Twitch.

Speaker: We should be able to pull it, right?

Speaker: I actually don't know.

Speaker: I've never tried that.

Speaker: We should be good.

Speaker: I'm just waiting for you.

Speaker: I'll talk to my tech guy.

Speaker: I should have the first part of the recording so I can always just fix it from there.

Speaker: Anyways, thank you guys so much for joining us.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: MJF came back, but I ain't seen no Ricky.

Speaker: I'm going to let it rest.

Speaker: I'm going to let it rest.

Speaker: We need to talk about MJF return or Adam Cole's.

Speaker: Do we care about Adam Cole returning?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: There's a whole other thing.

Speaker: We'll talk about that next week.

Speaker: We didn't even mention MJF.
