Maddening Wrestling Takes

Pmike (00:00.812)
Hey, MadHouse. Welcome back to Madden in Wrestling Takes. This is Mike. That's Ace. We're back from vacation and Canada. Did we have a good time? That was so cheesy. Wasn't it? Yeah. It fits so well, though. Back from a trip from Niagara Falls, as hopefully you saw on our socials. Yeah, we I want to make it known that we did not catch any wrestling while we were while we were there. Yeah, this is going to be a whole lot of reading recaps because we were on vacation this week. We thought.

our hotel TV would have a the channels they did not so they did not and there were some nights that we were out anyway so right we were enjoying the scene of uh canadian hey let me tell you fireworks over niagara falls awesome to watch tonight all right well so we'll jump into recap we did however watch monday yeah we watched we we uh we're home for monday so we'll hit you up with some

Info on raw. So they announced the king and queen of the ring that The saturday before monday, right? Because that was money that was yeah, it was money in the bank. Yeah and we had do we have our first qualifier? We sure did we had it for the men's and the women's the women's qualifier consisted of ria Ripley Liv Morgan Kyrie sane and raxanne perez I'm pretty sure everyone expected ria Ripley to win this. Yo, I was thinking 100 percent

Roxanne came out with the win pinning Kyrie Sane after Kyrie hit an insane elbow on Liv Morgan. Roxanne then broke up the pin by pinning Kyrie. Which was great. And then Liv got all pissy about it even though, Liv, sorry, you were gonna lose either way. Right. At least someone associated with the Judgment Day gets to advance this way. Right. Don't get me wrong, I would have preferred for Kyrie to win. Well, nevermind. This is not like an elimination chamber.

I was gonna say they don't worry. They'll have last chance qualifiers right now. It's be a tournament, right? It's It's fatal four ways into Just just a singles match and then the champion. Yeah, okay. That's kind of an odd format. That's the men's side of it it was a Dominic Mastello Penta Brown breaker and Sammy Zane and in this one the only person

Pmike (02:23.726)
That ace and I did not want to see win one. Yes, of course This is really kind of shaping up Sammy Zane, the way. Oh, yeah, Sammy. Sorry This is really kind of shaping up to be the crappiest King of the Ring tournament ever could have saved that one for your Madden and take two. Thank you I could have but yeah, I just wanted to this out there because it just seems like and we'll go Our lower smackdown spoiler for you. Was it smackdown? What happened?

What are you going to say? I'll tell you. What about him winning? Didn't he advance? Seth wasn't in the fire.

It's Orton, Cody and Orton. That's right. All right. So it was it right stuff wasn't in the qualifier. He his money. He won the money. Yeah. So yeah. So Orton won. Sammy Zane won. It looks like they're pushing all their top level guys, which sucks. Right. This king of the rings a builder. Right. If you're going to have King Cody to challenge John Cena at SummerSlam for the title, dude, if you haven't won it back at SummerSlam, not even his last

appearance of the year at SummerSlam. The whole heel turn. Is you seen a yeah, it was pointless. Useless, but we'll see. So we had our first two qualifiers. AJ Styles defeated Chad Gable in a great match. Very much side note, I showed Ace and I probably should have shared this on our socials to a guy online ordered a Grande Americano mask. And when it comes, it's in cellophane package and the sticker at the top says

Chad Gable luchador replica mask WWE and even trying to hide it in I Don't know Pat and wait are she's my favorite part about my god. I know when they're on the same commentary team John Cena CM Punk had a little back and forth. Yeah which was funny cuz if you guys will go back to when this this turn happened and when I said that punk should be the guy to take him Punk pretty much said note for note

Pmike (04:32.846)
What I said he was gonna say. But Punk, I said he wants that title. Cena said, okay, follow me across seas. Saudi Arabia. Balls in your park, hero. Yeah, I'm not here to make friends. I'm just here to make blood money. I get that reference. Yeah, CM Punk selling himself. Sell him his soul for, you know, all this stuff. He's not even gonna win. Don't get me wrong.

The Saudi Arabia thing I questioned because it's a business decision We don't get into politics here But looking on a political side Saudi Arabia is a little questionable of someone you want to take their money from right and punk has always been against that and I don't like Never mind. I'll go ahead your pay a mission. I don't know. I think I think I think think he's already said he's going

He could say he's going realistically if Sammy Zane goes I couldn't Sammy go that was religious stuff, right? Yeah his heritage and his religious stuff. So he's gonna win King of the Ring, right? We'll see. We'll see. at least be in the finals. We'll see who he goes up against He's going up against Orton next Friday Is it yeah that match is set in stone Cody's going up against the winner of the fatal four-way tonight Cody won the other one

Yes. Come on. He pins Nakamura. Come on. That's that's absolutely ridiculous. I know. Again, we're going to push all our main level guys. Right. And we had Roxy. Yep. And who? Cargill. Yeah, of course. And Lexi. Right. So only. And then one more tonight. OK. Who I think is going to be either Asuka or Valkyr.

Wait a second. So next week is the semifinals on Smackdown. Both. Yes. Both matches on Smackdown. Yes. That is some horseshit right there. Just I was saying the same thing. Just a little frame of reference as to why we're both so irritated about this. Ace and I will be in Columbus for Raw next Monday night. Yes. Sounded like we got a really cool build up there and then they screwed us out of that one. Thanks, Hunter. All right. So we had

Pmike (06:56.94)
So getting back to Monday night, let's get back to what we're actually here to talk about. Nikki Bella, Nikki Bella returns. Talk some shit to live and live hits her with oblivion, which was great, by the way, because Nikki was walking out of the ring. Liv said something to get her back in the ring. And as soon as she took that step, she didn't even get both legs. yeah, it was great. She hit the oblivion like when Nikki had one leg out of the ring again. It was great to step through the ropes, stood back up.

With one leg still hanging out, Liv hit it. Picture perfect. Bailey returned.

Bailey attacked Becky Lynch after Becky called out Lyra and Lyra looked a little surprised. A bit, yeah. There's no way she didn't know that was coming, right? Did you see... That was supposed to be your tag team partner. How much did she not know? it's today. Paramore. Making Bailey's theme. Really? Yeah. Well, there's one good man, one crappy man making themes. Did you see the picture of the guitars from Tool?

As who made pentas, right? And did you see the picture of how much he got paid? One dollar. You're kidding. Hunter is handing him a one dollar bill. There's no gorilla. And they're both smiling about it. That's great. Well, he loves it. does it for the love of the game. Well, yeah, he loved what he did. I see what you did there. didn't even. Dude, just take credit. Yep. I was all. It's all planned, all set to go. So of the game. Let's see. I mean, let me check real quick. Oh, did we?

forget the main event. I'm not to the main event yet. We did. We did forget the actual main event. the actual main event. Our truth. Coming back in his all black attire that he jumped John Cena in. Go ahead. Cuts his dreads. Yeah, gets on the announce table and talks about he's now Ron Killings. So as we said last week, be careful what you wish for, folks, because you're not getting the truth.

Pmike (08:57.838)
You're not getting our truth. was gonna say they are getting the truth. You're not getting our truth. You're getting the truth because Ron the truth killings, which I saw by the way that they're gonna keep calling him our truth though. Like because he has a match for next week on SmackDown. It's our truth versus the guy. We'll get into that when we go to SmackDown. We'll see if it, we'll see how long that lasts because when he was in TNA.

years ago when he was still NWA TNA and he's a two time NWA world champion. It was Ron the truth killings. Yeah. So and he keeps saying I am the truth. I am the truth. I'm the whole truth. And wait, what does he say? The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Thank you. Yeah. So you'll see a completely different side of truth. And he said, he said in my favorite line in this whole segment, he said the truth set him free. Right. So here's

Something else I want to touch on because we talked about it last week with whether or not him being released with a shooter or work. Yeah. Now, rumor has it now there's still a whole bunch of Internet guys that are out there. I Santy is still saying this. Some of the other guys that this was 100 percent real. He really got released and the fans brought him back. Are you going to talk about what I told you about? There's another I don't remember if you told me about this, but I know I read it. There's another thing circulating on the Internet that about

I don't know, two and a half, three weeks before he was quote unquote released. had already sent to their designers the Ron Killings t-shirt stuff. Yeah. So what I was going to tell you was they took all our truth marks off of their website. Well, you can still buy Bromstrom and t-shirts right now for full price. So, yeah. Here's the thing, guys. And I said it last time. They are not changing Sina's

retirement on a 72 hour notice like they basically said it was a 72 hour turnaround when we got into discussions with Ron and when he actually came back in horseshit. That's not the case at all. This was set up from day one. They're not. Well, this was set up a while ago. Right. Probably since the chamber. My guess is he'll turn. My guess at the very least would be the first time.

Pmike (11:18.764)
that truth mentioned. I can't believe that my hero would do that turn the rumble pre show this rumble post show. This storyline was in play elimination post. Yeah. This storyline was in play from that moment. They're setting it up. Sorry. And everybody the press conference after when Hunter said somebody asked him. Yeah. Somebody asked Hunter was this was this a worker shoot? And Hunter says, are you enjoying the show? And all these guys online jump on. that's crap. He's just saying that. So he no, he's not.

Because if you guys haven't figured this out yet, Hunter's MO as being in charge here. It's completely different than Vince. Well, no, his deal is what he does is he leaks false information. Right, the dirt sheets. He specifically said the night of the rumble that he leaked information to the dirt sheets, said we couldn't work out contracts with Alexa Bliss. She's not going to be coming at the rumble. Right. Then even Michael Cole mentions it when she comes out. I thought our contract was...

It's was freaking out and what I love because you know Vince fed information to the announcer to talk about I don't think Hunter does that the way Michael Cole reacts. I think he gets some information Macabre gets zero because he asked for it, right? But I just want everybody remember everybody's like you know hunters doing this or Paul's doing this because he's no longer hunter He's Paul of VEC, but I just want to remind everybody hunters nickname other than the game

is the cerebral assassin. don't know what that means. That means he's a step ahead of everybody. does it? Yeah. And he's he's using that and playing the dirt sheets and playing all of us. And it's beautiful. It's great. I love it. I love surprises. And it's been a long time since I've been surprised in wrestling. Let me tell you about hunters. Throwing a few at me. I was on my knees praying that truth was back. It was great. So now one last thing. One last thing for Ross.

to the main event. Sorry, we got a little sidetracked on our stuff this week. So the main event saw main event Jeyuso defend his title against the ring general Kuntaa and lost. Jey lost. Jey lost the title. 51 days in. Yeah. And I was debating.

Pmike (13:41.326)
Because when we went up to Canada, was a seven hour trip. So I had nothing better to do. I was arguing with someone over the Jey Uso title loss because his favorite wrestler is Jey Uso. said... I know this person, right? You do. Yeah. I said that was the right decision whether you like it or not. He said how? Jey is getting the crowd behind him. He...

He gave me all of these points. can look through them, but that would just take time. And I said, but I'm not saying this because the internet's saying this. I'm saying it because I've watched lots of Jay's matches. He has a good 15 moves he uses. You know, like the last five minutes of that match was just exchanging sleepers. Right. I think Jay did a total of three other moves in that match besides a sleeper. Worked for Stone Cold.

I guess, but I think Gunther winning the title was the right decision. Yeah, it's debatable. We'll get some of that in our maddening takes. Hint, Because he can have... Now that Hunter realizes that he messed up with Gunther the first reign, put the title back on him. He can have him defend against... Have him defend against styles, have him defend against... What? Go ahead.

Can't think of any of them. Okay, so here's my question though. So what the rumor is that Goldberg is gonna be showing up tonight on raw? Yeah, he'll probably be there next week too. Yeah, right good. I haven't I haven't got to move Goldberg in a good 25 years I have anyway What is it still the right decision to put it on Gunter if he turns around and loses it to Goldberg and Saudi? No, not at all because that's where they're gonna wrestle. They're gonna wrestle inside. which is great because it's gonna be Gunther or Goldberg's last match I think

Well, the Prince loves them. They pay good money. Right. Remember that one super showdown against Undertaker? my God. It's a great Almost killed Undertaker. So NXT? NXT time? Give me one second. Yeah, we missed NXT. And this sounds like it was a pretty good show that we missed. It really does. Three title defenses, one of which was impromptu. All right. So Ethan Page and Shawn Legacy, North American Championship. Shawn Legacy from Evolve. Right. Winning that.

Pmike (16:06.302)
Triple threat a couple weeks back get earning himself a number one contender max thing so Ethan wins the match and And what's actually kind of a shock to me? Ricky Saints came out afterwards to attack page. I really thought Ricky was going to the main roster. did you? Yeah So that'll set up that little rivalry going forward and yeah, we'll see what they do with legacy after just bringing them up have thrown them into a title match and then

Right. I think he's NXT ready already. From what I've seen, I haven't actually got to watch a full match and I'll be at trivia this coming Tuesday, so I'll miss it again. Is he wrestling actually? I don't know. just saying I haven't watched NXT in like almost a month. yeah, you're right. That's disgusting. So elsewhere we had tag team action with the Culling. Josh Briggs and Inamura. Yoshiki?

that his first name? Looks like Yoshiki Inamura. We'll just go with Inamura though. They lost. Inamura and Josh Briggs lost. Yes. And is this where... This where what? Didn't Briggs get thrown out? Briggs? You're thinking of Jensen. Jensen, yeah, sorry. It's the other one. Yeah, didn't Jensen get thrown out? Yeah, he did. So this was... This was the week after Yeah, this was week after

Right. So we'll see what happens when he comes back. Yeah. Lash Legend beat Ren Sinclair, which I don't like what they're doing with the NQCC. Having everyone lose. Yeah. Everyone's beaten Charlie Dempsey to get out. Regal's going to slap some sense into him. I really hope they put the two of them together. I do too. Regal needs to be his coach because that's how I'd book this. Regal is his coach.

and

Pmike (18:08.716)
Yeah, really sorry regal is his coach and he has to because he keeps losing and losing and losing Regal has to toughen him up, you know, right regal basically saying okay You did it your way for a while and it worked out for a little bit But how's it going for you now? Right now it's time to do things my way. Yeah, that would be fun. I would really enjoy that one Jc, jane be laney reed who the hell laney reed. Did we ever figure that out? I saw I

I stalked her, well not stalked, I looked at her Twitter, kept scrolling through a post to see if I knew her from anywhere. She was on, apparently she was like the best or the woman with the most wins on when they had level up. Okay. So she's been in the company for a little bit. Right. All right. Yeah. I never, ever watched level up. I saw only level up thing I saw was when we were there live. Right. Saw Roxy's first match. Yeah, that was it. But

Jaycee Jane won. Then Ava said she will be creating four one-on-one matches with title or championship implications at Evolution 2. Whoever wins those one-on-one matches will go into a fatal four-way the next week and whoever wins that will face Jaycee Jane for the title at Evolution 2. Interesting. The matches consist of

Jordan Grace and Lola Vice Zaria and Izzy Kehlani Jordan and Lash Legend. Lash. That's what I said. No, no, I'm sorry. That's the first one I called. Thea Hale and Jada Parker. think they're going to be big meaty women slapping meat. I think they're going to go Jordan Grace, Zaria, Lash Legend and Jada Parker. That is a physical matchup for women. That's for damn sure. Right. That's.

I thought Jordan was, well again, we're still a little way away from evidently from a draft if we have one. Yeah, I heard it's coming after SummerSlam. After SummerSlam, damn it used to be after WrestleMania, we're just gonna keep pushing it back. Right. So we had, let's see, we had the tensions build backstage. Last legend and other women argue over Miles Borne's departure. Miles Borne, hold on, who's that?

Pmike (20:34.612)
no quarter cash crew. Yeah. Sean Spears confronted Izzy Dame about her chair attack. so was she not supposed to attack? I don't know. I didn't watch. sorry, folks. We're just reading highlights on this one. Tony D and Luca Crucifino. I saw this one because I was I kept refreshing my WWE Twitter page. See what I'm missing. I saw a little of it. Luca Crucifino. Wait, no they didn't.

Tony D'Angelo and Luca Crucifino lost to High Rise. This says narrowly beat, they lost. I watched the video. Right, well also says with Stax causing the winning distraction, so why would he help Tony D? Yeah. Basically what happened was Stax ran up on the apron, got, he had a crowbar, someone pulled him off, got the crowbar away, but the crowbar was in the ring. Luca picked it up, he was standing with the crowbar behind Tony.

So Tony turned around, thought he was going to hit him with the crowbar. Then one of the, it was either Tyson or Tyreek. really? Yeah, it was. Like pushed Tony D into what's his face and hit their finisher and they won.

All right. So we still got that going. really thought Tony would be up in the main roster by now after sex turned on him or their slow rolling this. Yeah. Mariah May, I was going to say was reintroduced under her new ring name Blake Monroe in a Sabrina Carpenter ask asked. It was I was going to say as they copied it. Literally, means it was kind of like no, it was a straight. It was straight up. Then yet.

Sabrina Carpenter vignette Which is kind of crazy. This says the June 29th. We're having a fatal four-way to determine JC Jane's next challenge Yeah, that would be in two weeks. Yeah, sorry, that's off. Did we forget the main event I was gonna go back a little bit. Okay, we can do that Let's hit the main event because I've seen clips of this main event and it looked like it was brutal yeah, did you see above the femi throw Jasper Tory into that barricade?

Pmike (22:53.888)
Yeah, like three sections of a barricade fell and so just the one normal breakaway. Yeah. Did you see my favorite part that I saw was Oba doing his jump up, smack him in the chest on the apron. You see that? No. So he like normally he'll run up, smack him on the chest and knock him down. He hits him on the chest and Jasper kind of goes back a little bit but grabs the top rope. Right. And then stands back up and then comes off with a clothesline and takes Oba out. Nice. It's like, right. They're building Jasper. We're going build this guy up pretty huge. But in the end.

Oba Femi ended up retaining because it would have been really sad honestly to bring I don't think so. I think you're building them up like this, right? But you know, you got all these other guys that Need to help that title or the dude you just bring up from and your reality show before And before the show even started this was like four by the looks of it was in the parking lot Jasper Troy choke slammed Oba Femi through the windshield of a car. that's why I was had his ribs taped up. Okay

No, but Femi still beat him. But I don't think Oba is as strong as we thought he was. I say that, well, he's still very strong. Don't get me wrong. But did you see him do that pop-up powerbomb? No. Jasper Troy's legs or knees got to his neck. Well, that might also be on Jasper. I mean, he's supposed to hit the bounce on that.

I've seen that firsthand where somebody doesn't hit the bounce right and a pop-up move looks horrible. Right. As you know, Nolan's finisher is a pop-up spine buster, pop-ups sit out with spine buster. Yeah, I knew that. And I've seen him with the guy who's supposed to take it not hit that right. and it didn't look anywhere near as good as it does when the timing's on it. Right. So what to watch next also says tag and mid card dynamics are shifting.

Culling and Briggs and Inamora. D'Angulo and Crucifino versus Stacks and Highrise. What is this? How would you have? Look at the follow up matches on this. Oh, OK. Yeah, look for this to be a match. And... Oba Femi, Jax or Troy rivalry. Ricky Stains, Ethan Page and then the Fatal Four Way. Right. So let's go to Smackdown. Let's NXT is not good next week.

Pmike (25:17.388)
Yeah, yeah, let's hope it's kind of boring on Tuesday. Again, not gonna get to watch. All right, started off on SmackDown, you're in. Yeah, cuz I watched the first half hour then you told me we were gonna do something. John Cena opened the show. He said his favorite, no he didn't. He said his Mount Rushmore of WWE superstars consisted of John Cena, John Cena, John Cena.

And John Cena. Solid. That's I mean, yeah, it's a pretty good list. Solid. Then Cody Rhodes interrupted him, which made me throw my hands up in anger because I'm over this. were such a Cody fan. I was until he started getting pushed to the moon. so you're one of those fickle fans. No, I don't like him beating my tribal chief and then just getting the promise.

Land going to the promised land because he's dusty's kid randy orton interrupted cody and cena ellenite interrupted randy cody and cena Yeah, speak of things i'm tired of la night la night I saw somebody was this was a santa. saw that was talking about You know, you gotta push la night now. You gotta do this. You gotta la night needs it's like no no la night He needs to heel That's what needs to happen. He was heel he people didn't like it

He needs to turn here. That's what needs to happen. He needs to join a faction. I don't think so. I think the whole me personally, I know if I ever started wrestling company and have big names like these guys, I will turn into AEW with 147 factions, 365 titles and two singles wrestlers. Like sounds about right. That math adds up because. I don't I think everyone

Would belong in a fashion. I think l.a. Knight should go in a faction. Who would you put him in? I don't know. I think he could make his own the. Well, no, I was going to say something bad when I say put him in with I'm not saying that he's Miz and Mello. I think that could work. Good God. No way. I can't. Who's going to who's going to hold the mic? Miz. That's not going to know. he's a talker.

Pmike (27:42.702)
He can be a wrestler. That's his job. So it's the missus job too. I'm just saying. The missus actually a host right now. He's allowed to talk. All right. Where were we at? As Sina was leaving because whoever said something to upset him. LA Knight said he'd something about his bald bitch ass. Oh yeah. Because that's still funny. At least they're not polishing his head. Right. Sina walked away. Then Ron...

the truth killings ambushed him for the first time that night. Later on CM Punk or Cena came out again. my goodness. Before I get into that, did you see the little argument with Cena and Nick Aldis? No. Where Cena was turned his hat around. He used stupid finger motions. my goodness. It was great. He looks like a five year old throwing a tantrum.

It was great. Then Sina came back out again. Punk interrupted him this time, saying, which I didn't get to see the promo, but I've heard it was really good. I've also heard it was decent, but good because it's punk. He gets a little overhyped for my quirk, in my opinion. Right. So he cut a promo. And R-Truth attacked Sina again. That's outstanding. Setting up

a match next week. Our truth annoyed the guy so much he's willing to wrestle on TV. Wow. Setting up a match next Friday. Sina for free. Yes. That's crazy. Our truth. John Cena. No title again. Yeah, again. on. Then we already said the winners of these, but a fatal four way for the King of the Rings and Queen of the Rings.

Orton beat LA Knight, Aleister Black, and Mello. Way to bury your upcoming talent. Cody beat Damien Priest, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Andrade. Way to bury your existing talent. Alexa Bliss beat Charlotte Flair, Candice LeRae, and Oblifier. Way to pick the right person in that match. Jade Cargill beat Nia Jax, Piper Niven, and Meechan. All right. Obviously, they're never going to push Piper the way I want them to. I love Piper Niven. I think she could be great, but she's

Pmike (30:09.174)
relegated to kind of a joke thing right now so what this can't be right this says Motor City Machine Guns versus the Wyatt 6 Motor City Machine Guns beat the Wyatt 6 no that can't be right no is it not mmm did you see it I saw the end okay what was the end yeah I saw that Gacy power bombing Loomis on the yeah Shelley and getting a pen yeah yeah this is not yeah I don't know way to go Chad GPT

Who else do we have in this one? Who is Natasha Flair? Natasha Flair, where the hell is that? At the very bottom it says takeaways and what next? Surging moments Natasha Flair versus Bliss Cargill's rise in Rhodes's dominance are fueling fresh tournament storylines. Natasha Flair. I was getting sick of Charlotte. It's not even a real name. Right. All right.

Did we miss something on this? I feel like we did. I don't know why. was the? No, it was a really. No, that was it. It was Yeah, it looks horrible. All right. I'm kind of glad I missed that. Yeah. AEW Summer Blockbuster kicked off with Swerve Strickland versus Will Ospreay too. OK, so this was the second week in a row of four hours of wrestling. That is correct. The next week they're doing two and a half. That's going to seem like a little It's going to seem like a little half hour match.

Speaking of half hour matches, the Swerve and Strickland, that's the same guy, the Swerve and Osprey match ended in a 30 minute time limit draw. I like Swerve so much I almost watched a Swerve and Strickland match. I think he could pull it off. I think it would be entertaining. Because you know those stupid, stupid indie stuff where the guy's fighting like the dummy or just the- Indie? Indie? Indie. There wasn't just a dude in WWE wrestling with stuff to Kwan out last week?

Yeah, you're right. It's not just Indy.

Pmike (32:07.808)
After the match, Swerve demanded sudden death, which means I think you get an extra half hour. No, just go to the first ball. Okay. But the death riders in Young Bucks attacked him. Osprey took the worst of it. yes, he did. Did he? So the Young Bucks had Swerve, basically, I don't know if he was handcuffed or tied in the ropes and they, you know, they're sneaker heads. So they have all these sneakers. Yeah. They pulled out these special sneakers. had spikes on the bottom.

They went for the double super kick and Osprey jumped in front of swerve. my God. Yep. Yeah, that was that was my god. can kill a guy. It was crazy. Mystico returned and defeated Blake Christian in a fast paced opener. so that one wasn't the first match. That's just what it has listed here. no, that no, no, no, that was the opener of collision. OK, whatever. Remember, those are the same show. We'll just keep reading.

The Hurt Syndicate MJF, Lashley and Benjamin Beat Speedball Mike Bailey Kevin Knight and Mascara Dorada Oh my god another six-man tag match that did not involve a briscoe. That's because J Briscoe fought. No that was last week. Right? Huh. He's probably still selling injuries or something. Probably. But did you see any of this? Post-MAC MJF on Mask Dorada setting up a Grugs Max in Mexico, which is Wednesday. Right. Did you see any of this?

I saw MVP's outfit, if that's what you're talking about. Or MJF's outfit. MJF's MVP outfit. Yeah. It's like I'm like, he looks really weird in that outfit. And he looks a little different. No, I'm seeing him face on. And it's like, oh, why is he wearing that? And then he hit something and turned around and had the three MJFs the circles. I'm like, oh, shit, that's why. it's MVP's outfit. That's great. MVP is looking a little different. Did he get a haircut? Right. And a reverse tan somehow.

That does not say TaeJae. Oh yeah. TaeMelo and AnnaJae beat Megan Bain and Penelope Ford. Oh good. I like TaeMelo. I mean I'm glad she's back. Just how she's pretty doesn't mean she's good. she is. She's like a... We talked about this last week. She's like a legit black belt. She's a badass. Well that still doesn't mean she's good. She is. Like I said, liked her since she was in NXT. I've enjoyed everything I've seen her do. Personally, I don't like Lola Weiss, but she is a former MMA fighter. I like Lola.

Pmike (34:34.734)
I know you do. Kyle Fletcher beat Anthony Bones. That's all that says. good, so we'll let Kyle Fletcher get something in even if it's just Anthony Bones. Timeless Tony Storm beat Julia Hart in a non-title match only to be attacked by Mercedes after the match. Could you make this match, could you make me hate this match anymore? I do not like Tony. Yeah, yeah I could. Okay, what you got? Oh, she beat Sky Blue then too.

Have a two-on-one handicap match. Yes, okay, so I don't like Tony Storm So I don't like Tony Storm, I don't like timeless Tony Storm, I like Tony Storm Love Julia Hart Yeah, and absolutely hate Mercedes Bonet. So yeah this right did absolutely nothing to me the key will be Queen Amanita Amanata

Bandito beat the beast mortos, which I just heard In the last couple of days the beast mortos. He has received a He just passed the bar he is going to be a lawyer yeah He passed his law exam. He's going to be a lawyer the beast mortos this dude running around with a big bull mask Beating the shit out of people is about to be a real-life lawyer

So did I hope he wrestles with a suit on the silver mask comes down with a briefcase? I see on the outside. I he shows up to court in a mask with a suit. Yeah, that's good. It's good because he can't take the mask off. We can't disrespect the Luchian pride. Sir, please dress respectfully in the court. I don't think you understand. Okada and Callas brutally attacked Kenny Omega during the contract signing. Oh, yeah, you missed the.

What I missed the trios win for Don Callis family over Paragon. Yeah, because you cut me off on Daniel. Sorry, the beast mortos becoming a lawyer. That's pretty goddamn special. That had to be mentioned. Yeah, but the Don Callis family beat Paragon and Daniel Garcia doesn't tell me which members of the Don Callis family. So it could have been Don Callis himself wrestling. I don't know. What they did do, though, is unveiled a new title. Yes. The. Unified.

Pmike (36:59.842)
Championship that is the name of the champion. That is the name of the championship. The side plates are the what I don't think they are they are I saw a rendering and it's not what was on it. No, go ahead and what you said what you saw the side plates are the one-winged angel keep wanting to say Eagle and the Rainmaker and I heard they were not going to change that because they didn't want to ruin Okada and Omega's legacy

of the title. Well, my takeaway on this and the thing that I heard that makes me chuckle is they want this unified championship to be on par with the world championship like a second world. Because they've got guys like Kenny Omega and Okada right fighting over this. So give them the goddamn title. Get it off Moxley. Nobody's enjoying this death right. I mean, at this point, as much as I'm not a Kenny Omega fan, give me a goddamn title. I don't have to put up with the death writers anymore.

Right.

Yeah, and.

Oh, yeah, the entire heritage of the continental championship the one Okada has is him and Eddie Kingston. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Because it was a once a year tournament that somehow then ended up ended up in a... That'd be like constantly defending your crown because you won King of the Ring. Yes. The concept behind this is just asinine. You have a tournament and you win the tournament.

Pmike (38:37.422)
in order to defend your championship. But then when the tournament comes around next year, you don't actually have to lose your championship. You just have to not qualify in the tournament for somebody else to get the championship who then defends it. How do you win this championship? I don't know. This just stupid. don't know. Put it down, Tony. But that yeah, that was basically it for. Oh, I'm the versus Mystico is.

That's in Mexico City. Yeah. Is that not? It's Monday or Wednesday. Yeah. And then what said he was facing Dorado and no, I just said it will lead to a grudge match. Right. Leads to a grudge match. MJF basically told Misty Go. He said, you're great and all. Because of me, you'll just be the worst in Cara. He said that he said that. Oh, my God, that's great.

That's hilarious. Said to me, you'll just be the lesser known Sankara that got fired. That's great. So Osprey and Swerve. That's about it for our reviews. Oh, well, we can. This is moving us is moving forward. Not things to look forward to, which is a bonus, because one of things that I listed here is Mercedes Monet versus Tony Storm. Not things to look forward to. I sure as hell am not looking forward to that. Jesus, that's horrible. Yeah, I might. I might.

I'm gonna watch paint dry instead of that mask. was like you like AEW stuff more than I do. I do, I love AEW. And you don't even wanna see that nonsense. That is correct. So some of the stuff that we said we were gonna talk about this week, we've already touched on a little bit with Blake Monroe. Blake Monroe. Making her debut, enhancing an already strong NXT women's division. Let's hope they do a little more than just make her eye candy like her vignette looked like it was gonna be.

Right. Because, I mean, we saw in that last match with Toni Storm, she can put on a hell of a match. She can go. Right. And the best part is the Toni Storm canonically killed Mariah May in AEW. Right. Because I'm pretty sure they had to like, pick her up off of the wherever she got that heel stabbed into her head from and carry her backstage. Yeah. And it said the end and everything, right? So.

Pmike (40:59.95)
Let's see where they go with Blake. kind of like it. We touched on the Ron Killings. We sure did. Stuff. you you agree with me in this that it was all part of the point? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I didn't until I read about the shirts. The shirts is what convinced me. So the fact that they took all of his merch off of the website, but you can still buy a Braun Strowman t-shirt.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell the rest of the wrestling internet community to kiss my ass because I told you before this was all set up on her set shit up. That's what he does, man. He's just he's steps ahead. I'm not. I know. I know it sounds like I'm writing Hunter's Jack really hard here, but I'm telling you, the dude just he knows wrestling. He said, yeah, I did say, Jack, what do you want me to say? You're throwing that out there. He said, yeah.

It doesn't even rhyme with anything. I'm lost. I guess it does. There we go. Sorry. That's not usually the phrase. I don't know if I said this last week. my God, I feel like an idiot. Doesn't rhyme with anything. Shut up. I guess it does. So that's just something offensive, but whatever. Go on. What did you say last week? Let's get off my being stupid. I don't know if I my being stupid. Let's get off my being stupid and talk about what you want to talk about last week.

I don't know if I said this last week, but I take back everything bad I said about hunter TKO As well you should TKO just a business Making money it's what they do you were in charge you'd want to make money to the Kansas City Chiefs are just a football team Doesn't mean I have to like them. That's true. God knows that's true. So We also touched this. Yeah, unfortunately now I'm looking down my list of stuff We wanted to talk about we like ran into almost all of it

Right as we were going through the show, but uh King and queen of the ring Yeah, so One of we have two matches left, correct? One one female one male. Oh fatal four ways. Yeah, I thought you talked about it. No, sorry qualifier matches. Yeah. Oh wait

Pmike (43:12.91)
No, I think they're going to. Oh, wait, never mind. I had that same thought. But wait. Oh, my God, you don't even need me to host the show. You just do this by yourself. You go back and forth enough. No, because what I was thinking is, oh, man, Orton versus Zane is going to be the is the finals. It's the semifinals. So they're going to have Cody and whoever wins this match on Raw next week. And then that's what I asked you. And you said no.

Not that you talk about both men and women's matches. Yes, okay, they're doing that. one men and one women's match on Raw and one men and one women's match on... Yes. Er... Yeah. Yeah. let me look at the... Shut up. Let me look at the bracket real quick to disappoint you. Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna get Sammy... No. No. We're gonna get Cody and whoever wins. Christ. And... Lexi is not SmackDown.

And I'm pretty sure Valkyr or Asuka is winning this. And they're facing Lexi. That is correct. Son of a... But at least we get Roxy. I've seen Roxy. I've not seen Stephanie and I can't see Lexi enough. So, I mean, whatever. So we both think Stephanie's winning this match tonight. Who's in the match with her? Asuka, Raquel and Ivy.

It's tough not to see it's gonna be Oscar. Yeah, it's gonna be Oscar Stephanie. So it's gonna be an oddball and have I be win, right? It's either gonna be continue the Rocket push that they're given to Stephanie or give it to ask on her return, right? One or the other so yeah, that'll be and then Yeah next week on raw would either be Cody and Seamus Rusev Bronson Reed or who it's most likely going to be J Uso

So they're just gonna have four faces.

Pmike (45:12.078)
Sammy Orton Cody sure seems that way doesn't it? I don't know man. They almost gotta put in Sure seems that way Well, let's see on the women's side. It's a no-gap. Perez is a heel. Jade Cargill is a face. Bliss is a face. She's tweener. Then Valkyr would be a face and I think Asuka would be a face. We'll see if she's been gone for a year. She can come back as whatever she wants. That's true

They could easily bring her back as the Empress of tomorrow. Right. I want them to do that so bad. I hate that like full face paint Oscar. I like the full face paint. I also hated the stupid green mist coming from the eyes and the mouth face paint. I like the line across their face. Yeah, I like it. see that beauty. Mm hmm. Damn. You gave me a funny look when I said I can't get enough Alexi and then you're over here drooling over I am not drooling. Let me get, me hang on. Let me, I'll be back in a second. I gotta get a napkin. That's ridiculous. Yeah, that's what I thought.

All right, what were you talking about King Queen of the ring so it looks like they're gonna go all Everybody you would expect for the guys. So it's like all top tier main event guys. I know Sammy's the underdog from the underground horseshit. He's At the top level the way Jay's gonna win is he Bronson? Nope Rusev and Seamus are gonna take each other out because they're having a little bit of a rivalry LA nights gonna take out Bronson Reed

And Jeyuso is going to capitalize. You don't think Breaker and Rollins are going to have anything to do with it? Did they have anything to do with Ellie Knight taking out Bron Breaker last week? No, but they'll be ready this week because I haven't once. yeah, maybe. I want Bronce in the win. Or my best hope. Jeyuso gets murdered before the match. They're not putting Karrion Kross in. They have to. They're not going to.

It's just not gonna happen. They should. right. So I don't know. Seth made a promo last week about attacking on all fronts. Yeah. Attacking both titles. Right. Which says to me, Bronson at least has to get into the next round. You think? They got to at least keep it going for a little bit. You can't just be one and done on a comment like that.

Pmike (47:31.702)
If he attacks both titles, means Bronson would be going after Gunther. Yeah. And Seth would cash in on Cena. Or whoever beats Cena, like Punk, you know, his most hated enemy. It's not going to happen. I'm just saying. It's not going to happen. The storyline's there. It's not going to happen, especially if Cody is in the finals of King of the Ring. If Cody's not in the finals, I can see Punk possibly winning.

If Cody is in the finals, has no chance. True. Because if Cody's in the finals, he faces whoever, if he wins, faces whoever wins that match at SummerSlam. Yeah, that's Brand's champion. And I don't, it wouldn't make sense for him to just randomly face Punk. So this is probably, like I said, the worst King of the Ring ever because the King of the Ring should be Ilya, bro. It should be a build-up. It should have been Dragunov. So, speak of...

Cross. Did you see the promo with him and Sammy? Yes. Where he told Sammy you're on commercial break. Right. That you're you're doing what I wanted you to do. And finally being you. Which is why it should have been Cross and then Sammy and Cross in the finals. But it's whatever. So I also saw a little thing that this is not going to happen, but it would probably be the coolest thing I think ever. But.

Well, Karrion Kross alluded to something too. my back. And that was? He basically said he's not the only one pulling strings or doing something. OK. And you will know soon. did he say that? He did. So is he going to get an actual decent faction this time? Who? Polly. Heyman. No, no. The only one I know that can pull the strings. No, what he's saying, but what Kross is saying. like a puppet.

No, what Cross is saying is he's been manipulating things without even people realizing it. The stuff we've been you've been saying. Like, well, like putting the clock on Roman. Yeah. know, everybody he's in, everybody he's interacted with, something happens with. So this is the other thing. Everybody's all pissed off that crosses and getting a big push. He's been doing stuff behind the scene for quite a while. If this builds to something next week.

Pmike (49:55.694)
Next week would be outstanding, but I don't know why they'd pull it off in Columbus. Don't get me wrong. Because for whatever reason, WWE thinks it's a great idea to have. Is that the home? Why are they not having the Alexa Bliss match in Columbus? I don't know. Is that the go home? No. Yes. I think it is. It's the 28th is. Yeah, so that's the go home for us. Sweet.

All right, we get the new friends get to experience your first show as a go home show. So I'm sure there's going to be one or two things going on. Yeah, but for whatever reason, WWE WWE likes to have just surprise things happen in either Cleveland or Columbus. True. For like whatever reason. I and I'm not complaining. Right. Thank goodness they like Ohio. But yeah, it's either Cleveland, Columbus or Toledo are where big things happen on just a regular show.

Not too much in Toledo. It's a smaller venue. don't think they do as much. Well, right, but I'm saying. Well, where were we when Dexter returned? Columbus. There you go. Yeah, so. I think it was Toledo. Was it Toledo? It was the Huntington Center. Yeah, it was either Toledo or Cleveland. It wasn't Columbus. Right. I think it was Toledo, the Huntington Center. Because in Columbus, we haven't been that close on the floor. Right. So yeah, had to be one of those two.

Dexter return so yeah we could be looking for something exciting I was I was really close to tucking Dexter's hair yeah we were like he was legitimately the wall right but separated us it was like you know four inches separated us from Dexter when they pulled him back that was cool then then I ran backstage to try and find him or back where he ran from right not backstage like he did not get backstage folks so that would be pretty impressive although he'd probably get tackled by somebody I die I could not find him he ran away

Right. So something else. Oh, something Ace. Something else. Well, right. Now you're looting. Check it. Oh, and I wanted that one out. We're going to leave it at that. OK, got you. Ace wanted to talk about. Did I? You did. Oh, is it the new AAA Tag Team Champions? It is the new AAA Tag Team Champions. Los Garzas. So they went back and.

Pmike (52:17.454)
Now this wasn't the one with the Mammoth Brothers, correct? Yes it was. Was it? Okay. it was Triplemania something. Triplemania in June, then Triplemania in August. There was another name to it, was like Triplemania... Rapido. Yeah, Knight of Champions or Triple... It was like... So Triplemania is AAA's WrestleMania. But they have it more than once a year. Yeah, but then they used the same name with a subtitle under it as Lesser Shows. Not Lesser Shows, I mean... AEW does, but Dynamite.

But no, not like that. I don't mean lesser shows because this was a show still like backlash or something like that. was so a good example is Extreme Rules, the horror show. Exactly. Yeah, there you go. They just rebrand the name. So Los Garzas are... Oh my God. Los Garzas are the new AAA tag team champions. We already said that. What I was trying to say was they will be appearing on Smackdown and they will be appearing with the AAA titles.

Yes, I know you know what that means I do know what that means So yes guy one of the top merchandise sellers. It's gonna be mr. Iguana and la yes guy to take the titles They are not gonna let the puppet take the title. They look the whole Nicholas bullshit. They ain't gonna go through that again Because they let our truth and little Jimmy get a get the tag titles at one point in time But I could definitely see

Mr. Iguana and some other AAA guy on SmackDown this coming week, next week, whatever. Octagon. Speak of. Dominic. Interesting fact. Dominic Mysterio has only defended his ICF championship against Lopes. That's great. Pemtegan and Octagon. That is great.

Pmike (54:08.11)
I saw someone say they need to bring back Kurt rectangle. Boo. Did you just snort? God, I hope that comes across as good as the sound of that. Holy crap, that was great. So what else we got? We got we got to some time here, man. We flew through that stuff since we didn't watch it and just read recaps. Right. How's your day been? Oh, dude, no.

Allegedly a you W and John Moxley are getting sued by a cameraman. yeah, you did something that for battery in the salt I wonder what happened. I mean, I think it was like an unplanned spot where marks like accidentally Pushed the cameraman into the stairs and caused injuries Let me look it up a EW suing got it

Okay. Maybe. Are you looking at that picture I sent you? No. Also, legally this feels pretty... I'm starting to think it might not be a clever gimmick. Let me see. we go. Let's see here. Yeah, so... Found this guy. How did they... How did... Nobody sue when Darby Allen flew through the glass and it like shattered out and...

cut people in the audience nobody sued that but a cameraman because it awesome whatever this time it's mox aw and john moxley sued for no negligence thank you no problem civil assault and battery by production crew member christopher christ yep christopher thank you dispensa claims he suffered severe neck and shoulder injuries as a result of being shoved to the ground unexpectedly by moxley during a match with kenny omega dispensa

Alleged in the lawsuit that the incident resulted in my god. Do you see this clip? Mm-hmm resulted in him requiring cervical fusion surgery shoulder surgery and treatment for other Unspecified injuries. I will show you this clip Press play. Yeah, so we got here. I didn't even notice it

Pmike (56:36.444)
he shoved him down pretty hard. How did you not notice that? Because I was I was more focused on. Well, I was reading it while it was playing. He shoved him down pretty hard, but I was more focused on the cameraman. That was recording. If that wasn't a planned spot, that dude can that dude has every right. Yeah, because I mean, I understand when you step in there, you're you're supposed to you know, you're taking a chance as a cameraman. Did she just throw omega back into the cage after both of them? Yeah.

It's not a case in which it but okay, whatever. Yeah, I get it. You're a cameraman. You take a risk. But if that's not a plan, and this guy who does this for a living comes up and throws you to the ground like that while you have... Those cameras aren't light, dude. No. So you're holding that thing and it's coming down on you? Yeah. If that was not planned and that guy legitimately got hurt, Mox is a bigger asshole than I ever thought he was. Right. you're professional, dude. Act like one.

Right. I mean, I can hate your character, but you can still be a good person. Right. And you can cut yourself up and you can be as hardcore as you want. Don't be a dick to the people that are there trying to make you look good because it takes a lot to make your dumb ass look good. Crew member claims Moxley went off script, shoved him in and caused serious injuries. The lawsuit accuses AEW of gross negligence. Come on, English. That's right. I said English. Shut up.

Basic English, that sucked. You might have to eddle a little out of this. Eddle a little out of this. Jesus. Man, we cannot get a... We were on vacation. Our minds are still there. Right. I hope you guys are enjoying this. Somebody out there is laughing while they're listening to this one. John will tell me about this tomorrow at Oracle. be like, damn, you guys stumbled over a lot. But I think... Well, I mean, if...

Cause I'm sure AEW keeps the scripts. And wrestling companies keep the scripts. So if the guy goes to court and mocks his lawyer or whatever, shows him the script. they'll settle out of court. Tony's a billionaire. yeah, you're right. They'll settle out of court. This dude's going to get paid. Get a promotion. No, he's just going to get paid. He might be the AEW's green shirt guy. I don't know, but he'll get paid. AEW's green shirt guy? WWE's green shirt guy is AEW's green shirt guy.

Pmike (58:55.822)
Well, they're have to give him another color cuz that's gimmick infringement if he just wears a green shirt We got to get a whole new color. You can be orange. No, I'm saying it's the same guy. I'm just saying he can't wear a green shirt Because that's his gimmick not allowed to do that our gimmicks patented No, but the wrestling community just like it's kind of like can't think of a good example, but you

In some games, you can't break this unwritten rule. Yeah, it's an unwritten rule. You don't typically you don't take somebody else's idea without them passing it on to you. I'm sorry. That is what Tony is doing with the hurt syndicate. Literally made made the hurt.

Business. That was their name. Yeah. Put them in a W. Yeah. Then did the whole bloodline gimmick with this outsider, not part of the family joining. And then they're going to keep treating them badly, keep treating them badly. They're going to treat them good for the first couple of months. Then they're going to start treating them badly. And then the MJF face turn is going to be immaculate. No, I'm telling you, that is what's going to happen. It's not going to happen.

He's crazy me when it does well if you get one right dude, I'll call it I I give you Phil and I were sitting outside talking about wrestling yesterday. Yeah We're talking about Future stars. Yeah, and he told me he's like, know someone who I'm really impressed with. Mm-hmm I said who he said soul Rukka. Yeah, it's like let me tell you man. I called soul Rukka the first time I ever saw her and he said no But now he's come around to saying yes, so we're talking for a little bit longer and he said so

What do feel about Obafemi? was like, Obafemi is ace of Sol Ruka. And he looked at me like I was crazy. I was like, I know that sounds like a stupid statement. Let me explain. Right. I think you picked Sol Ruka from the breakout tournament. I picked Obafemi from the breakout tournament. And both of us were like, now I don't see it. And both of us now are like, called that one. I completely see where you're coming from. Right. But yeah, we should probably have Phil on sometime. We should. I think that'd be cool. We sat out there and had a good talk with Phil. Still trying to get

Pmike (01:01:14.806)
Schedules to hook up with Aaron black to get him in here That's what we were gonna talk about last week that I forgot to mention Aaron black Aaron black was not there last week in case you didn't notice, right? That's what you're gonna talk about So I was gonna say okay, that's what you're gonna say now we're gonna talk about those are very different things talk about what implied that there's like a Conversation to be so Aaron. What do you think? That's almost as good as some of your answers All right, so

Short episode what you get. Oh, I maddening takes we do. Oh, yeah, we're not done. Oh, we're not done Go ahead I did it last week. Yeah, but I'm trying to remember what mine was so go ahead and start it was something about Jane good there Oh, it was about Jane Gunter. Look at you because you said I said Gunter was the right decision to win. Okay, here's the thing and here's my maddening take this week I

Loved Gunter. Still do. No, loved Gunter. I still do. It is my turn to talk. I'm allowed to be a colorful commentator. Dude, you're as white as they come. You ain't very colorful. Neither is Wade Barrett. Anyway, loved the guy when Imperium first came into NXT. Loved him in NXT UK. Loved him when he first came to the main roster. The IC camp. Been rooting for him. Was upset when Sammy beat him because it was stupid.

It was was root and form to become world champion. Gunter's world champion is going to be great. Gunter's world champion is going to be great. Gunter wins the world championship and it's like watching paint dry. It was so goddamn boring to watch Gunter. And then along comes Jeyuso. Four letters, one word. see. Exciting, charismatic, crappy in the ring.

But still gets the crowd into it. High energy makes you care that someone's coming to the ring. But his matches suck. So we get the belt off of him. So Hunter pulls the trigger and puts the belt on the most boring guy to hold a title in the last few years. Are you kidding me? You have a roster full of people. You had two chances for Seth Rollins to cash in the money in the bank. The night of money in the bank.

Pmike (01:03:43.116)
when both champions were beat up and tired after their match and after a championship match on the main event of Raw. Seth Rollins, again, anybody who knows me, not a Seth Rollins fan, but the dude can go in the ring. The dude is charismatic. He's going to get the crowd pumped up. It fits the storyline they're going with him and it's going to make the belt legitimate. But you give it to Gunter. I mean.

I get there people that are out there that are happy that Gunther got it, but they're only, well most of them, Phil, are only happy because it's not Jay. Right. And that's the wrong reason to give somebody the belt. Because like I said, I'm not a Rollins fan, but Rollins made so much more sense in this spot, especially holding the briefcase. Okay, so I'm looking at Gunther's matches as world champion. Okay.

Let's see how many we can stay away from. Gunther defeats Jeyuso. Nope. That's a stay awake. That's the stay awake meter. Nope. wait, wait, I'm going not in order. Hold on. Those weren't his world title matches. That makes a lot more sense. Give me one second. Keep talking about how bad Gunther is. He just I don't know. He's not I think he's finding him boring on the mic. I think without

Ludwig and Giovanni with him. It just doesn't have the same gravitas as He did when he was the leader of Imperium His yes, his interviews are boring his matches are everybody can planes about J. Uso Gunter chop chop dropkick Chop dropkick Powerbomb suplex, but it makes it look good, right?

Again, you're only looking at five or six moves. OK. Found his world title. All Well, good. I stole long enough. What you got? Thanks. No problem. beat, to become world championship, he beat Damian Priest. become world championship? That's impressive. I said to become world champion. Maybe open your ears, old man. I can't wait to play this shit back for you because you 100 % said championship. Did not. Yeah, on an episode of Raw, he beat Sami Zayn to retain his world heavyweight championship.

Pmike (01:06:08.814)
These are live events three in a row might I add. Live events don't really count as far as his what his title reign is presented as because most people don't see them. Well, I'm just saying he beat Chad Gable four times in a row. Crazy.

He beat He lost to Cody Rhodes At the champion of champions match that here we're gonna give you a giant belt that's not allowed to leave our country because I paid too much to make it because I really want to be a wrestling fan. The only bigger mark than Tony Khan. The Princess Saudi Arabia. At Survivor Series, Gunther beat Priest. Let's see here.

On a random episode of Raw, Gunther beat Dominic Mysterio. Yeah. At Saturday night's main event. Wait, this...

Pmike (01:07:10.294)
It's whatever. This is right. Gunther Beat, did hear yourself?

Pmike (01:07:23.02)
Okay, sorry. Then on Raw, two weeks in a row, first Gunther beats Akira Sazawa. Then he beats Otis. After that, he beats Axiom.

That was a hell of a match though. That was a good match. That was probably the best match of his entire title reign. The go home show to WrestleMania, Gunther beat Jimmy Uso. at WrestleMania, Gunther lost to Jey Uso. Okay, so the best match- That was the extent of his championship reign. So the best match in his championship reign- Was against an NXT person. Was against Axiom.

And I forgot it happened. Right, because it was in Madrid. So that's what I'm saying. It's one of those things like be careful what you wish for. You might get it. And we got Gunter as champion and it didn't land. It's like as bad as Kofi's championship reign. Right. just didn't. Big E was another one. I don't know. I think Big E had some good matches. It just... But the reign itself just didn't land. best part is Big E's best match was the one he lost the title in.

against Brock Lashley and someone else that they won that fatal four way. Yeah, so I don't know. I think it was wrong move. have other people you put the championship on that would have been a better fit than Gunter. My bad, Nick. Is that next week's draw is going to be the best episode of Raw ever solely because I will be there.

But you've been at other episodes, bro. Well, yeah, but I'm bringing the company. I'm bringing the fam. You're bringing three people who don't watch wrestling. And you. And me. I'm bringing you. Yeah, you're bringing me. I'm the only one had to pay for my own ticket and gas. I actually paid for my ticket. Thank you. All right. Of the people that you're bringing. I'm the only one that had to pay for my ticket and gas. Because you offered to pay for your ticket. That's on you. Yeah, you were going to buy my ticket. No. Yeah, exactly.

Pmike (01:09:30.464)
You were gonna pay for gas? No, I'm sure. No, I'm paying for someone else would. No, no. If you wouldn't go, positive he would have paid for gas. No, we're not. We're not doing that. But anyway, I don't know that I don't think it's going to be the best raw ever. Probably because Goldberg's there. J.Y. Uso is going to win the Fatal Four Way. What else? Nikki Bella might show up. I wouldn't mind Nikki Bella. I've never seen Nikki. Neither have I. This will be our first time seeing Penta.

If he's there, he'll more than likely be there. Well, even if it's a main event, we'll find out in about eight minutes. Even if it's a main event. yeah. I forgot they take main event. Yeah. Cross. what? Main event. Main event. Higaleo. Not what I was talking about. Made his debut on Main Event for some god awful reason. Yeah. And speak of Main Event, I think there was a misunderstanding. Why? Because everybody thought that it meant he was. God, you suck.

Everybody thought that it was meant that he would be world champion, but main event Jey Uso might have a whole nother meeting.

Maybe that's where he's supposed to be.

Main event. Main event, Jey Uso is now on your pre show. I was going to say is theory showed a little sign of a baby face turn on main event. He lost to Dragon Lee after the match Dragon Lee offered a handshake theory very quickly shook his hand and walked away. But he still shook his hand. They've been hitting that break up for a while.

Pmike (01:11:10.03)
Hopefully it happens on when we're there. Aren't they on Smackdown? Yep. No, they're not. No, because they got traded in that superstar shakeup thing that wasn't the shakeup and it also wasn't the draft. It was the portal. Portal. Yeah, because they want to rip off any supporting thing that they can. It's a transfer portal. Give me a goddamn break. So anyway, next Monday, be there. So we'll give you guys a rundown of this week's show.

Next Sunday and hopefully nothing goes wrong and we'll actually be able to record on Sunday and get it up on Sunday Like we're supposed to write our bad as my son as my son would say our bad fam. That's That's on me dog. That's that's my bad. Okay, that's that's gone. That's gone. He ain't gonna do that anymore He only did that the one time though. He'd know he did it a couple times with a 20 was I was thinking about when he thought he was in the ladder match and Kane

You're not in the mag I'm not that's my bad that that's on me. That's that's my bad. Oh my god I love true so much. I hope he's I hope he does not end his career as Ron I know I mean, I hope he gets we get back to a little bit of the truth Yeah, our truth. We'll see the truth Maybe even tonight who knows little Jimmy's gonna bring him back So will he see little Jimmy anymore or is he too much here now? I don't know. Well, he's he's kind of crazy

They're still playing off as crazy and they haven't really hinted at this yet. But they're still playing it off like he's two people. He's our truth and Ron killings. Yeah, like Bray Wyatt was the fiend and the funhouse Bray Wyatt. Right. Those will be really interesting. He knew of his other if they do it like that. Really interesting. There's a mask. If he could just go from the angry Ron killings and just turn around and smile like truth and just pop right into the truth character.

Dude, I'd be scary. I'd be kind of scary. He just beats the living crap out of Sina. Then Jimmy Uso comes around and he goes, I'm sorry. Yeah. How you been, Jay? Yeah, that would be great. You notice how I mixed the names up. did. Yeah, because that's what he does. All right. So you're done. You got anything else for us? Don't look at the time. Just answer. have anything else for us? No, I was thinking about if I should look up what...
