witching of as to you, I
am one after the show. I am
5
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.759
Jeff Becker. You're joined every single
week my host only doctor Trey Franklin's Doctor
6
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.359
Trey. I've had to get caught
up on a lot of wrestling, my
7
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.000
friend, so I have to ask
this. I know you're on. So
8
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.560
for one, congratulations you're not the
only married guy. I'll just show anymore.
9
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.039
That's right, thank you. Number
two, you would on your honeymoon,
10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.240
now I know what I would a
mind wrestling was kind of forbidden on
11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.959
my honeymoon to a degree, like
I wasn't really we didn't watch wrestling.
12
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.040
We didn't I didn't really look up
anything. I tried to stay focused on
13
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.519
the honeymoon phase. Now, did
you abide by that guideline as well?
14
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.959
Or you know, since you've been
dating your now wife for a very very
15
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.920
long time, did you kind of
know the deal? So um to answer
16
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.079
your question first, circumstances. So
I'm gonna say, with the circumstances permitting,
17
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.719
I did watch wrestling, and I
will explain why I watched wrestling,
18
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.280
and I think once I explained it, everybody will feel bad. But got
19
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:45.640
married on Saturday, the twenty fourth
of June. Sunday the twenty fifth,
20
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.319
we traveled and our flight was a
little bit delayed, like I was on
21
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.519
the on the tar mat for a
while, and once we flew into where
22
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.239
we were that evening, I did
watch because it was very late and we
23
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.439
were just getting ready to start the
next day. I did watch Woe's Most
24
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.959
Wanted Treasures and Stone Call Takes on
America. So I did watch that wrestling
25
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.360
programming, so that at that point
in time, that was supposed to be
26
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.560
the only wrestling programming I was going
to watch, and I it was it
27
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.400
was gonna be way too busy for
for us to do it. I didn't
28
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.240
even bother to tune in to Forbidden
Door that night, Like I could have
29
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.479
easily like started watching the second half
of the show if I wanted to,
30
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.840
but I chose not to. I
was like, I'll wait till I get
31
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.280
home, I'll watch it on replay. Um fast forward a couple of days
32
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.719
later, Tuesday night, had dinner
with Um, with with my family and
33
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:44.120
my wife's family all traveled down with
us because we did what a reception in
34
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.280
a way, so we did did
a reception with everybody we it was it
35
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.599
was going to be a destination wedding, but UM my grandmother, and we
36
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.759
wanted her to be part of it. She unfortunately had passed away about a
37
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.080
couple months after we we got engaged, so we couldn't moved plans around,
38
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.879
so we had this reception. Was
this whole week that we had, the
39
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.800
vacation week Tusan. I had dinner
with my wife and my my my immediate
40
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.240
family while the rest of her family
were out doing some things and had some
41
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.639
meat loaf. My my sister in
law had some meat loaf, My dad
42
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.520
had some meat loaf. Went home. About two am Wednesday morning, I
43
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:34.919
woke up to intense stomach pains and
proceeded to get rid of anything that was
44
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.280
in my stomach in a very short
period of time. That was what they
45
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:46.319
call food poisoning. So I had
food poisoning all day Wednesday. It screwed
46
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.520
up the entire day. Obviously,
had to go to urgent care. My
47
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.439
wife was with me for about most
of the day during all that, and
48
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.400
it reached the point where I went
to urgent Care about like four o'clock Wednesday
49
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.240
afternoon, got medication, started to
feel better, was eating like a bird.
50
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.879
They put me on this brat diet, not because I'm a brat.
51
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.120
It's banana rice, apple sauce,
and toast, no butter. I know,
52
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.600
exciting stuff to have while you're on
vacation. So I was stuck doing
53
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.040
that. I started to feel better, told my wife to go with her
54
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:29.120
family enjoy the rest of the evening. So my family was out there as
55
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.000
well, and I stayed back at
the hotel room and I watched on the
56
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:39.079
DVR that week's edition of Monday Night
Raw for three hours. So I broke
57
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.120
my I had zero plans too.
My plan was I was going to get
58
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.800
back on Saturday, July first,
and then I was just going to sit
59
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.000
down and like power through all wrestling
programming. But I was able. The
60
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.720
only thing I watched was the three
hour edition of Raw, so that one
61
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.600
leading into money in the bank because
I had food poisoning, and that was
62
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.959
like a okay, But outside of
that, no other wrestling programming. So
63
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.519
your wife got so in the vows
they say for better, for wors,
64
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.040
for sickness and in health. Your
wife got hit with the worst part at
65
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.079
the sickness part right away. Oh
yeah, I think she was like afraid
66
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.879
for me, because, I mean, throwing up is not a great pleasant
67
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.759
thing. And I said to her
at one point, I was like,
68
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.879
this is one of the worst days
of my life, like legitimately, and
69
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.040
when it comes to sicknesses I've had
in my life, lime disease, the
70
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.000
flu, and that food poisoning bout
I had is on the mount rushmore.
71
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:47.319
I mean it was I maybe in
the last the entire time we've been together
72
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.959
has been twelve years, and I
would say and maybe fifteen to twenty years,
73
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.439
I've probably thrown up five times,
which is great, good number,
74
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.839
staff, right, that's good statistics. Five fifteen years, five times maybe
75
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.839
thrown up. I threw up like
seven eight times in less than twenty four
76
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.879
hours. I mean I had nothing
left in my stomach. Yeah. I
77
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.360
went through that, you know,
a couple of months ago when I got
78
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.720
put on that new medication for my
diabetes, and like we were doing the
79
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.920
show, I threw up during the
show. I remember that I told you
80
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.240
that off air, like drew up, like hey bye, I threw up.
81
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.319
It's one of those things where like
if you don't like for guys like
82
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.000
guys like I'm not I'm not a
big drinker. You're not a big drinker.
83
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.959
We don't really ever get overly intoxicated
and throw up. So for us,
84
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.560
like we're throwing up, there's something
really wrong. Now, now are
85
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.319
you blaming the meat loaf? Did
Dad and sister get hit with it as
86
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.800
well? Or no? Just you
somehow? Nope, Nope, did not.
87
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.199
Um it was. It was a
big Disney vacation that we all went
88
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.560
on. So I was down in
Disney World in the fl which was hot
89
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.879
as hell. I don't know how
you guys, you Southerners do it,
90
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.160
do Trey? I mean I stepped
outside and I just within two I can
91
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.079
look like I took a shower.
But no, they did not get sick.
92
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.000
I remember going urgent carera. I
was like everybody was trying to tell
93
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:11.480
me doctor Trey that I had heat
stroke. I didn't drink enough water.
94
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.160
And I'm a huge, like religiously
huge. I drink water like crazy.
95
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.680
I never dehydrate. I only drink
water quite honestly, like outside of coffee
96
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:26.920
and milk in my cereal, Like
that's literally all I drink is just water.
97
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.680
I don't drink soda. I drink
beer and an alcohol on occasion,
98
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.920
but it's strictly water. And I
was like, I am not dehydrating,
99
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.759
guys, stop pushing that. Like
I got food poisoning. But it's like,
100
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.240
but everybody else in the group didn't
get food poisoning. So went to
101
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.199
urgent care and I was like,
hey, you know, I think I
102
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.439
got sick off of this. Everybody
else did not get sick off of it.
103
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.560
Is that possible? And the doctor
said, he's like, everybody's DNA
104
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.600
is different. You know, you
could have had a bad piece. They
105
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.279
could have had a better stomach to
handle the entire thing than you were.
106
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.839
But yeah, it to me being
the doctor saying this, this does sound
107
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.120
like food poison and I was and
I was cleared up within twenty four hours,
108
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.480
thank god, because it did screw
up like the biggest night that we
109
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.279
were supposed to have dinner wise,
with all of our families together. It
110
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:15.040
was supposed to be the quote reception
dinner. We did very much a DIY
111
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.439
very small wedding. I had twelve
people including myself with my wife in attendance.
112
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.399
For the wedding, the same twelve
people all traveled down to Florida as
113
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.439
well. It was a very fun
time. But the next day, that
114
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.240
Thursday, we were supposed to do
a for Anybody's erben in the Disney World.
115
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.440
We were going to go to Animal
Kingdom or we went to Animal Kingdom
116
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.679
spoiler. I ended up making it
and we did this what they called Wild
117
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.600
Africa Trek, which is behind the
scenes safari that they do so they have
118
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.200
a safari you go through the zoo
and everything like that at Disney's Animal Kingdom,
119
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.279
and we did a more behind the
scenes, up close a venture which
120
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.159
I was really looking forward to.
Was able to do it, thank god.
121
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.440
But there were times where I'm like, man, how the hell am
122
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.720
I going to get home? And
I was supposed to like fly out on
123
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.399
Saturday. The way I was feeling
then, I was like, ah am
124
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.320
I gonna like I literally And I'm
the type of guy too, DOCTORV like
125
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.039
I never want to go to the
hospital. I never think I need to
126
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.679
go to hospital. And I debated. I was like, dude, I
127
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.759
need to leave here in an ambulance, like I don't know if I either
128
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.679
strength to do it, or the
stomach or any other one how to get
129
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.279
through this right now to get looked
at by a doctor. It was.
130
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.360
It was brutally bad. Oh yeah, I've had it. I've had food
131
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.559
poisoning twice that I know of,
and like I've heard the first time I
132
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.879
got it. It didn't I didn't
get the vomiting, but it just literally
133
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.879
I got home and I was like, man, I don't feel right.
134
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.120
I laid down the saly I know. I was like twelve hours later.
135
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.799
I had no strength. I was
just weak. I felt like somebody had
136
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:50.080
literally poisoned me. And it was
about twenty four to thirty six hours.
137
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.360
Actually was back when I was traveling
and I actually was supposed to be picking
138
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.600
up a guy to take him like
Ohio or somewhere, and he had to
139
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.759
state an extra data hotel and didn't
what was going on because I was so
140
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.000
weak. I couldn't answer my phone, couldn't do anything. It literally wipes
141
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.960
you out. Yeah, and then
it's just like randomly like oh, I
142
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.759
feel better, Like it just kind
of comes out of nowhere that you're like,
143
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.879
oh, Okay. I feel you
go from like feeling five percent to
144
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.200
like eighty percent and you don't even
realize it. You're was like, oh,
145
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.159
okay, I guess I guess the
worst is past. So but kudos
146
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.360
to you for being a trooper,
Kudos to your wife for standing beside you
147
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.639
and not looking to find the minister
during all the whole thing and didn't start
148
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:37.080
over. So the happiest place on
earth and you get through it poisoning yep,
149
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.679
yeah, I mean. The one
thing good thing is I did I
150
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.559
was able to watch three hours of
RAW because I did not get cut off,
151
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.960
caught up all completely caught up on
wrestling until literally this morning when I
152
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.720
watched the final hour of AW dyn
of Mind from this past Wednesday. It.
153
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.360
I mean, obviously loved getting married, enjoyed the wedding and all that
154
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.519
great stuff. But if I'm a
wrestling fan who prospect, who does a
155
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.279
wrestling podcast, I could not have
picked a worse time where there's an AW
156
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.559
pay per view which is already five
hours, right, and a WWWE pay
157
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.639
per view just sandwiched in there and
then had to recap it in the last
158
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.039
two weeks. Obviously, if you've
been joining us the last two weeks.
159
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.799
You know, two weeks ago it
was a very timely show, but last
160
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.240
week's show was not as timely because
I was away and we recorded it in
161
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.039
advance to kind of give a little
bit of a break and what's going on,
162
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.559
and then we're going to come back
here and recap and review everything.
163
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.080
So we're back here. It's been
a lot of wrestling, Doctor Try,
164
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.039
I guess if you consider it all
because I had to watch the pre show
165
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.200
as well Forbidden Doors, so that
was about a five hours show. You
166
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.200
had the three hour Raw, eight
hours, two hours of NXT, ten
167
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.159
hours, two hours of Dynamite twelve
hours, two hours of SmackDown fourteen,
168
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.440
Rampage one hour, and then Saturday
was mining the Bank. That was about
169
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.200
three hours. So that's when we
up to twenty one. Eighteen well eighteen
170
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.759
not cutting collision, did I Okay? So eighteen right now, then the
171
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.720
two hours of collisions. I'm at
twenty right, Yeah, twenty three hours
172
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.600
for Raw, two hours for an
XT, twenty five, two hours from
173
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.200
Dynamite, twenty seven. So that
brings us to now, right, So
174
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.080
twenty seven hours of wrestling I actually
watched. I think the only thing I
175
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.960
missed, and it's because they didn't
do any matches was the money the bank
176
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.639
pre show. So, man,
what an idiot I am? Yeah,
177
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.399
I wasn't a saying because the fact
of the matter is you your anniversary date
178
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.919
is literally a week after mine.
So there are times that you have no
179
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.519
control over your life. And usually
the wedding day, the planning of the
180
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.519
wedding, the date that's selected,
you really don't have that much control over,
181
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.720
so you just have to write it
out and then if you have responsibilities,
182
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.639
you just got to circle back and
get it all taken care of.
183
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.559
So you know, I am,
I am lad that you didn't go into
184
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.240
just like twenty four hours of Lamon's
I just binge watched all twenty seven hours
185
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.279
straight because I know you you're a
trooper. You could probably have done it
186
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.440
just with a lot of red Bull
and coffee. But at least you powered
187
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.639
through it. I'll say this much. If you watched all twenty seven hours,
188
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.200
you beat me and I didn't have
a wedding or a honeymoon to go
189
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.639
through. Yeah, I think that's
probably the OCD in me that I got
190
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.200
to sit there and watch. I
mean, I try not to miss most
191
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.600
wrestling things. But it's definitely getting
difficult, right, I Mean that's what
192
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.399
we've talked about with Collision and all
that stuff. It's it's it's certainly becoming
193
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.039
difficult to be a wrestling fan and
actually like staying up to date on a
194
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.440
lot of this ship. Like they're
making you do tribalism now, even though
195
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.279
they don't want you to. Yeah, we're like anyone on the end of
196
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.559
like on the indie them there,
like you hit our guys, like why
197
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.519
can't we just work together and everybody
appreciate everything. It's like there's just not
198
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.080
enough time. Like there's literally not
like you you're either it's you know,
199
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.000
Coke and PEPSI Ford and Chevy.
It's it's you have to kind of kick
200
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.759
a side almost if you want to
consume everything, unless you're like me and
201
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.519
you'll like, go, okay,
let me read about it first. If
202
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.759
it looks good, then I'll go
back and watch it to kind of see
203
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.200
things. But like I have friends
in mine they're like, hey, did
204
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.879
you want Like I missed part of
Monday Night Raw and I missed the Rea
205
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.279
Ripley Italian match, and my buddy
was like, dude, that was actually
206
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.240
a really good match, and I'm
like, crap, they finally had a
207
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.279
good match and I missed it.
Now I have to try to go back
208
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.559
and fit it into my schedule right
now. So it is a bit of
209
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.360
like you have to choose a side
in the battle, even though they'll tell
210
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.200
you that they don't want you choosing
sides, but you almost have to,
211
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.879
just because there's not enough hours in
the day to consume everything. And just
212
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.799
to also give an update here,
because we talked about on the podcast and
213
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.240
at that point I would have figured
it wasn't going to be a problem.
214
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.279
But for those who've been tuning in, you knew about my wedding band issue,
215
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.679
where I didn't have a wedding band
even though I got sized for one
216
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.879
in January and I lost so much
fucking weight that I couldn't fit in it
217
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:11.879
anymore. Um. I got a
phone call Thursday before our wedding saying that
218
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:18.320
the ring that we had ordered to
uh my new ring wasn't going to work.
219
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.240
So they were gonna they were gonna
put like this bar in my ring,
220
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.120
doctor Trebe, so that it once
I gained weight again, that it
221
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.240
would it would be a bigger size
and they couldn't do it with the ring
222
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.720
that I had, so they didn't
know what to do, which made things
223
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.159
fun. Make a long story short, they ended up finding a ring,
224
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.480
the ring that I needed, with
the right size, so they couldn't do
225
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.639
this bar and I picked it up
on Friday at about two pm Eastern and
226
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.759
I was getting married eleven am the
next day, so I liked that they
227
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.440
basically had to put a belt on
your ring. That was the plan.
228
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.639
We're basically gonna basically make a belt
to hold your ring in place until you
229
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.799
get at again. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So yeah, I don't know if
230
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.559
this was an infomercial for getting married
or not. To be honest with everyone,
231
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.679
anyway, let's get into it.
Let's talk some wrestling here, doctor
232
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.879
try Let's talk about the twenty seven
hours of wrestling that I watched. Let's
233
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:18.440
start with aw New Japan Pearl Wrestling
Forbiddendoor Recamp or Review came to us two
234
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.879
weeks ago from the Scotia Bank Arena
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Let's
235
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.240
get to the first match here was
on the pre show, The Mobile Embassy
236
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.679
defeats Chaos Tremperetta, Chuck Taylor and
Rocky Romero and l Desperado. We did
237
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:36.279
not predict this match. The multiple
miscommunications between Swerve and Brian Cage that led
238
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.120
to nothing was strange. Swerve Strickland
needs a singles championship around his waist as
239
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.919
soon as possible. In my opinion, I am looking forward to his match
240
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.360
with Nick Wayne at this Wednesday's edition. Him done to my any thoughts on
241
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.000
this pre show match, Yeah,
it was You're right, it was weird
242
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.039
the miscommunication stuff, but overall,
I was just kind of fodder. I
243
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.679
kind of feel bad for Trent and
Chucked because they're one of my favorite tag
244
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.080
teams to watch. They're just so
good and they're basically in that role where
245
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.200
they just have to help elevate everybody
else. And I still think Brian Cage
246
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.480
is maybe the most overready wrestler maybe
of all time. He might be up
247
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.640
there, Brill, I thought you
were a Brian Cage fan. No.
248
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.279
I like Brian Cage, like,
I mean, I'm glad they put him
249
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.480
a Prince Nana because you look at
Brian Cage and you're like, this guy
250
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.240
should be a monster, should be
a beast. But then like you hear
251
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.160
him talk and he sounds like a
fifteen year old kid, and it's just
252
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.319
like, yeah, it doesn't really
match up. And then he tries to
253
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.240
wrestle like a cruiserweight even though he's
like two seventy five and solid muscle,
254
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.000
Like nothing really goes together. Like
if if Brian Cage wrestled like Wardlow every
255
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.400
match, he'd be more believable.
But like doing all the stuff he does
256
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.839
is it's impressive, but you don't
need to do it. So I just
257
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.519
think he's just one. Like I
think you think he's over been overhyped for
258
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:59.559
all these years. Next match is
Athena defeating Billy Starks in a quarterfinal match
259
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.519
in the women Owenhart Foundation Tournament.
We did not predict this match, solid
260
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:04.960
match. I thought Athena and Billy
Starks had a lot of good chemistry in
261
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.319
the ring. Were my notes from
this one. Yeah, I like Billy
262
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.720
Starks. She's, you know,
kind of a local girl. She's from
263
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.119
like our area. Some of my
friends had a hand in training her.
264
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.319
So I always, you know,
if you got kind of got a little
265
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.839
bit of a soft spot for people, you know. But Athene is such
266
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.160
a beast and like she's taken to
this new role so well, so is
267
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.799
it entertaining? Good match? It
solid, especially for Billy Starks. I
268
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.200
think Billy's been wrestling like three and
a half years, so to be on
269
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.680
that stage and performed that well,
I thought it was a good feathered her
270
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.319
cap Al Fantasma defeat Stu Grayson.
We did not predict this match. I
271
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.680
did not know Stu Grayson turned on
Dark Order as I don't watch ro Oh
272
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.240
good match. I've always enjoyed watching
e LP wrestle. Yeah, I like
273
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.720
ELP. I also did not know
Stu interned on the Dark Order because I
274
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.599
thought they had just brought him back
to join the Dark Order. But who
275
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.920
knows? Uh, like went again? There so much wrestling to consume you'd
276
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.880
missed stuff, But I thought it
was fine. I liked Stu as well,
277
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.440
so I thought it was a fine
match. Eli j Los Ignarboles,
278
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.440
de Hapong, Bushi, Shingo Takagi
and Hiromo Takashi defeated United Empires Kyle Fletcher,
279
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.960
Jeff Cobb and t JP. We
did not predict this match. Fun
280
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.359
match that I wish I had some
more time or was Showcase on the main
281
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.440
show for people that like New Japan. I'm sure they were digging this as
282
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.200
I was. Lij gets the victory. Yeah, this is kind of my
283
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.519
theme for a lot of this show, which was in ring wise, it
284
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.960
was great, just there was no
build up to it, no story really
285
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.720
too it. So it's kind of
like, oh so I kind of have
286
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.799
to follow everything to understand the storylines
of the show. So in ring work
287
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.200
was fantastic, so great six man
tag, but once again, wish I
288
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.880
had a little more time and I
wish there was some depth to it.
289
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.480
MJFF defeats Hiroshi Tonahashi to retain the
AW World Championship. We will at MJF
290
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.319
get in the victory. I felt
like it was a standard MJF match.
291
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.960
It was a fine match. I
hate to say this, but Tanahashi is
292
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.240
starting to slow down. I'm glad
you said. I've kind of thought that
293
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.960
seeing from his last couple of appearances
in the US. But you know,
294
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.640
for MJF to get a win over
Tonahashi's a feather to his cap. I
295
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.200
thought the match was fine. I
did you know. It's one of the
296
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.000
things where was like it was a
solid match. It's just nothing that you're
297
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.400
going to like stick out your mind
and be memorable other than MJF getting a
298
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:30.279
win over Tanahashi. Next matches see
him Punk defeating Satoshi Kojima and a quarterfinal
299
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.559
match in the Men's Own Heart Foundation
Tournament. We did not predict this one.
300
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.400
Good match. I love Punk,
leaning to the Canadian crowd booing him.
301
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.400
I thought the GTS finish was weak
and really the only blemish on the
302
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.799
match as Punk defeated the New Japan
Legends to Toshi Kijima. Yeah, I
303
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.359
kind of thought maybe Kojima, like
I don't want to say stiffed him,
304
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.640
but just didn't sell it to you
because of Kenza, So like there's a
305
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.240
little bit of me that was like
conspiracy theorists. But yeah, I thought
306
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.200
the match was fine. It's just
when you have c him Punk on the
307
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.359
card, you just kind of hope
that it's a more high profile role in
308
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.640
this situation. You know, the
Kanta match would have been great. You
309
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.000
know, a Tonahashi, you know
Okada, They're obviously they're for somebody else.
310
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.440
But I mean most American fans do
they know who Kojima is? So
311
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.000
like does that really help anything?
So just bad timing and the Kanta thing
312
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.440
falling through kind of you know,
left a sour taste in some people's mouth.
313
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.359
Next match, here is Orange Cassie
defeating Katti Ori Shabada, Daniel Garcia,
314
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.799
and Zach Saber Junior in a four
way match to retain the aw International
315
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:40.039
Championship. We did not predict this
match. Great match. Really enjoy watching
316
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.000
all four of these guys wrestle,
good finish, with the Orange taking advantage
317
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.039
of Shabada's PK to get the pen. I would absolutely watch this match again.
318
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:48.440
These are some of my four favorites, Doctor Trey. Your thoughts,
319
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.440
Yeah, this was the first real
match that got me excited on the show.
320
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.160
Like everything else have been solid,
but this one was really fun,
321
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.319
really entertaining seeing Shabada in the ring, seeing and I love Zach say Regia.
322
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.720
I can watch Zach Sayer Junior wrestle
every single day. Just the technical
323
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.240
prow as, the skill he's got, and then the contrast with Orange cast
324
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.519
like this was just a really really
fun match. And then Daniel Garcia held
325
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.920
his own, you know in there
with you know a couple of legends in
326
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:22.039
Orange Cassidy. So that's that's a
really hard quartet to figure out style wise,
327
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.559
and they made it work seamlessly,
so I thought it was a really
328
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.960
fantastic match. Next match to Sonata
defeating Jungle Boy Jack Perry to retain the
329
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:34.119
i WGP World a Wide Championship.
We both had Sonata getting the victory solid
330
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.519
match. The moonsalt finish caught everyone
including me by surprise, and we finally
331
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.920
see Jack Perry turn heel as he
takes out hook post match. He's been
332
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.799
really leaning into the heel persona in
the last two weeks on Dynamite, which
333
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.079
has been fun and enjoyable to watch. Sonata retains Doctor Trey. Yeah,
334
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.960
this, by the way, I
love like leading into this. They both
335
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.440
played the whole I Don't Know who
You Are card, which I thought was
336
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.000
hilarious. But yeah, I really
enjoyed the match and then the heel turn.
337
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.440
I mean, I'm hoping for Hollywood
Jack Perry. I want to see
338
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.319
him grow, I want to see
him have a fake black Beard and everything.
339
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.839
I want him to just go full
nWo Hollywood Jack Perry. So just
340
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.359
drop Jungle Boy all together. We
don't have to hear that name ever again.
341
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.440
I'll be fine with that. The
Elite Hangman page Match Jackson, Nick
342
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.920
Jackson, Eddie Kingson and Tumo hiro
Ishi defeats The Blackpool Combat Club John Moxley,
343
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.839
Claudia Castinolian Wheeler, newt Utah Show
to Umino and Cano Skate to kesh
344
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.039
Go. We did not predict this
match really good in fun tan man tag
345
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.599
team match, I liked Eddie Kingston
being conflicted working with his own teammates and
346
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:38.119
also having to fight John Moxley your
thoughts as the elite Kingston and Tomohiro Ishie
347
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.319
you get the victory. I would
just exci see Kingson and Ishie on the
348
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.000
same team, Like those guys are
like just made for each other. Like
349
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.599
I can watch those guys team up
and fight. I'd be happy either way.
350
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.359
You know, before a ten man
tag to be solid and enjoyable and
351
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.960
then also have you know, like
some sub story in there as well.
352
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.839
Oh, like I thought it was. It was pretty good for being that
353
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:08.359
many guys in one single match,
because those are usually messes and chaos and
354
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:14.160
cluster f's whatever you want to call
it. This one was actually pretty solid
355
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.599
and told a good story. Tony
Storm defeats Willow Night and Gale to retain
356
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.319
the NW Women's World Championship. They
both went in this as women's champions,
357
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.000
Willow Night and Gale for New Japan
Strong. She has since dropped that championship
358
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.920
match was fine. I feel like
AW somewhat missing the boat by by not
359
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.720
pushing Willow Night and Gale Moore and
given her an opportunity to run as the
360
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.559
top baby face in the AW women's
division. She is super over and her
361
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.839
attitude is infectious. Tony Storm retains
Doctor Trey. Yeah, Willow nightingales just
362
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.039
a joy to be around, Like
if you ever get near her, I
363
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.559
mean, I mean it's one of
the things, like I've seen her in
364
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:55.680
the ring live in person. She's
infectious. So yeah, at some point
365
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.240
she's going to be the top baby
face in AW. I just you know,
366
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.680
you have to worry abou she's still
rather young and a little a little
367
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.039
brain when he comes in experience,
but you know, putting her in these
368
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.599
high profile matches, I mean,
in the last what months, she's got
369
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.720
to wrestle Tony Storm and Mercedes Monet. Not a lot of women get to
370
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.119
claim that, so her being features
great for them. And I thought it
371
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.519
was a good, good, solid
match and Willow's gallopeticitional world. But you
372
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.200
know, the outcasts are kind of
fun to watch as well, so I
373
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:30.920
thought it was a pretty solid,
good sequence match. Will Ospre defeats Kenny
374
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.039
Omega to win the IWGP United States
Championship with we both had will osbreak in
375
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.079
the victory. Phenomenal match. This
on the shortlist for Match of the Year
376
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.640
candidates by year end. In my
opinion, I loved how badly Osprey wanted
377
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.720
to beat Omega and it told a
great story. Amazing stuff from two favorites
378
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.359
of mine. This has been one
of the best Kenny Omega matches I have
379
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.839
seen since he returned from his injury. I love this matched Orey Osprey feeds
380
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:56.160
Omega. Yeah, I loved it. Also, the desperation in will Osprey,
381
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.759
like you can see it in the
ring, and that's something that he
382
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.920
doesn't get a lot of credit.
Four is a lot of guys will crap
383
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.640
on Osprey for being you know,
the spot monkey and the high fly or
384
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.599
whatever it is. When he's really
into a match, he can tell a
385
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.759
good story without actually having to say
a word, and Kenny's the same way,
386
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.119
so you can kind of tell like
there's this I don't know if it's
387
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.359
I don't know if there's any actual
heat between them, Like that's always been
388
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.119
the storyline that they don't really like
each other, but they respect the hell
389
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.720
of each other and they put together
a fantastic match. So kudos to both
390
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.759
those guys. Yeah, Osprey is
phenomenal. He's an amazing wrestler, and
391
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:40.039
hopefully he sticks around the United States
for whatever promotion sooner rather than later and
392
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.680
six round for a long time.
Next match is Sting Darby Allen to at
393
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:45.960
Sionido defeating Chris Jericho, Minaros is
Juki and Salmon Gerard. We did not
394
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.519
predict this match. The Jericho Minaros
is Zuki chemistry and dynamic is amazing and
395
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:55.960
it should be capitalized more. They
seem to really enjoy working with one another.
396
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.480
Overall, fun match happen to Seido
finally a paron aw This was fun.
397
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.400
Doctor Trey, Minara Szuki and Jericho, Man, they cracked me up.
398
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.799
I loved it. Not to mention
you had Sting in a match with
399
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:12.160
Minora Szuki, I mean, like
the legitimate to the I guess most badass
400
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:18.200
grandfathers around. I mean it's sting
sixty two. I mean, it's it's
401
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.680
crazy how well these guys work,
and I kind of want to see now,
402
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.880
I want to see Minora, Szuki, Chris Jericho and Sammy Gabar almost
403
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:30.519
played like father son grandfather type thing
or something like. Just the chemistry,
404
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.960
like you said, Sweening, Jericho
and Suzuki's so great. Um And it's
405
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:38.200
one of those things when you see
guys like Jericho or Suzuki having fun in
406
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.799
the ring, it's infectious as well. So it was. It was a
407
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.920
really fun little six man tag for
for all those guys involved, and it
408
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.039
just got it. I mean you, I mean, the age range in
409
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.839
that match, just all that alone
kind of blew me away. And then
410
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.799
finally the main event, Brian Danielson
defeats Kazko Okada I Kazko Cotta Doctor Trey
411
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:02.920
Head Brian Danielson slow methodical pace for
the early portion of the match that started
412
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.119
to pick up halfway through. Danielson
is one tough son of a bitch,
413
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:10.079
getting that final ten minutes out with
a broken forearm. The injury did take
414
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.000
away from the match unfortunately, but
still a good match. Probably didn't live
415
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:15.880
up to my expectations. Because of
that, but it was a hard follow
416
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.839
after osbring Omega. Hopefully we do
get another rematch soon. Brian Danielson,
417
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:26.799
DeVito Cotta, Doctor Trey. Yeah, this like this to me reminded me
418
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.680
of a Randy Orton match. Does
that make sense? Like you know it
419
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.519
does? That's spot on, absolutely
spot on. It's just that's where those
420
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.000
old school Randy ormagins starts off kind
of slow, kind of methodical. You
421
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:40.960
get a little bit of a little
bit of juice, and then it slows
422
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.799
back down then right back into the
jews going into the finish. So if
423
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.359
Brian Danielson nothing else, learned a
little thing or two from Randy or because
424
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.440
that's kind of how that match was
put together. The injury, like you
425
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.039
said, did take away from the
fish a little bit. But I mean,
426
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:56.640
dear God, you got to wrestle
the last ten menads of a broken
427
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.240
freaking arm. I mean, that's
that's pretty damn impressive. And to get
428
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:07.480
the submission victory over Okata and getting
Ocada to agree to tap out like Tony
429
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.799
Kahn and got some balls to get
Ocada to go along with that. So
430
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.720
I give them all the credit the
world for that matching and putting it all
431
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.319
together, piecing it through and making
it work in the end. People view
432
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.119
prediction record Doctor Trey went four and
oh, I went three and run.
433
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:22.640
Coming out of Forbidden Door, I
went fifty seven and twenty Doctor Trey is
434
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:29.160
fifty two and twenty five. Match
of the night and event rating. I
435
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.000
gave the event rating a four point
oh solid four point zero out of five,
436
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.799
and my match of the night was
will Osprain Kenny Omega. I was
437
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.279
at a three point eight and I
also had osprein Omega. I thought it
438
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.920
was a solid show, but once
again, like outside of Osprain Omega,
439
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.920
is there anything really all that memorable? So that's kind of where I was
440
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.960
at with that show. I do
want to make a note here real quick
441
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.240
before we get into money the bank. I don't think this is a good
442
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:59.960
thing for AW long term as they
continue this partnership with New Japan Pro wrest
443
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.519
saying, but just going off of
what you said, Doctor Trey, you
444
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.279
were surprised at Okada tapped out for
Danielson, um Tanahashi and Okada are considered
445
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:14.200
like the John Cena and Randy Orton
of New Japan Pro Wrestling, like they're
446
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.200
the top guys in that company.
There's seth Ron's Roman reigns, whoever you
447
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.519
want to say, like they're one
and two. Okada and Tanahashi don't win
448
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.359
in AW and that's I don't think
that's a good thing. So a lot
449
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:33.279
of AW victories again from this show, and I don't know why New Japan's
450
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.400
allowing that to happen. I know
Sonata defeated Jungle Boy, but just to
451
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.839
be totally honest, like nobody thought
Jack Perry was gonna win, and that
452
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.799
match was just to catapult him to
becoming the new you know, heel persona
453
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.319
that he is. So I don't
I don't like the booking and New Japan
454
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.799
stars in AW because if you're I
get if most AW fans probably know who
455
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:56.599
these wrestlers are, But if you're
a casual fan that does not know what
456
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.079
who New Japan is, you think
these guys are scrub because they're consistently taken
457
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:07.119
els from the AW guys. It
feels a little bit like the AW Impact
458
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.440
Partnership, you know, where it
was kind of like it felt really one
459
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.799
sided, and if you're New Japan, you're like you're hoping to get that
460
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:21.039
payback like you're hoping to get Okada
Danielson at you know, over at Tokyo.
461
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.400
Don't you know you're hoping to get
some payback on your side, I
462
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.039
guess, but you know from the
state side. Once again, the casual
463
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.640
fans doesn't know these guys. I
guess that's why eight of you looks at
464
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.079
like, hey, the casual fans
may not know who Okada is or Tanahashi
465
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.799
is, so if they lose,
it's not a big insult to the casual
466
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.079
fan, but the die hard people
like us are looking at going, yeah,
467
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.240
like, like we talked about before
the show, you're gonna have jungle
468
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.319
boy Jack Perry competing for you know, the richest prize in New Japan,
469
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:55.680
and he's maybe top fifteen in AW
maybe top he's not top five, he's
470
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.160
not top ten, describing that fifteen
to twenty range. And so it was
471
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:01.960
kind of one of those things where
are like, yeah, like nobody bought
472
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:07.079
in that Jack Perry could walk out
the IP Heavyweight champions, so him losing
473
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.119
isn't a big deal, and then
you spun it into something else anyway.
474
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:16.279
So really, any of the losses
that the ANW roster took were minimal at
475
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:21.759
best. But meanwhile, you know
your top two or three guys all lost.
476
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.839
So even like your legends, like
you know, Jabbata and Hujama,
477
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.039
like those guys all took els on
this show. How does that prop up
478
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:37.079
New Japan in their partnership. Strange? It is strange booking. I mean,
479
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.279
you got to give some of these
New Japan guys an aw championship at
480
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.799
some point here if you're gonna keep
doing Forbidden Door, in my opinion,
481
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.279
it's just strange. And now you're
hearing Moxley's eyes are set for Sonata and
482
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.279
IWGP World Heavyweight Title. So I
don't know how we're going to go from
483
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.319
there. I totally could see Moxley
win the championship. Let's switch over now
484
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:57.599
to a week little less than a
week later w Money in the Bank.
485
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.960
Previous recap and review. This past
Saturday came to us from the O two
486
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:06.920
Arena in London, England. Let's
get to the first match on the card
487
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.359
here. Damian Priest defeats Ricochet,
Shinsky, Nakamura, La Knight, Santos,
488
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.440
Eskuar Butch and Logan, Paul and
the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder
489
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:19.119
match to win a Men's Championship match
contract at a later date, we both
490
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.079
had Damian Priest to get in the
victory. I thought this was a great
491
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.000
Money in the Bank match. The
chances these guys take with some of the
492
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:29.680
spots are is absolutely insane, enjoyable
match, seeing rising stars get this opportunity.
493
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.519
I was very happy for Damian Priest's
you could feel his ascension coming Doctor
494
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.680
Trey. Damian Priest wins the Men's
Money in the Bank Ladder match. So
495
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.519
I don't know if I'm we predicted
it correctly, but I don't know how
496
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:49.240
happy I am about it because La
Knight is over in London, like like
497
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.079
there were spots that there were,
Butch's climbing the ladder. The crowd is
498
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:57.799
booing him for La Knight, So
it's you have to kind of wonder at
499
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:00.880
times, like they are they missing
out on lightning in a bottle. The
500
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.759
match itself was fantastically fun, like
I enjoyed it. Everybody got a chance
501
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:12.159
to shine, even like Santos Escobar, who's probably you know, casual fan,
502
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.840
maybe the lowest guy in that told
well he got some great spots overall,
503
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.199
one of the better money the bank
match we've had in a while,
504
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.119
especially for you know, seven guys
who have never held the world championship.
505
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.000
But he's making me wonder are they
Are they missing out on capitalizing on La
506
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.079
Night while he's hot. Yeah,
he's over in London, he's over and
507
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.360
spoke Ken, He's over in New
York, He's out over everywhere. I
508
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.519
agree with you, I think La
and I should have gotten the rub,
509
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:39.639
But I also feel like suburn storyline
sense, like you're seeing this ascension of
510
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:45.719
Damian Priests as well. La Knight
is getting the fan rub, but Damian
511
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.519
Priest is getting the proper creative rub. And I think creatively they made the
512
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.079
right call and hopefully they do capitalize
in La Night. I thought an La
513
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:55.639
Night Logan Paul match for Summer Sam
was going to be on the table,
514
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.880
but it appears they're gonna be going
with Logan Paul and Ricochet Summers Slam instead,
515
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:05.079
which from a social media visual standpoint, I guess that makes sense because
516
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.679
I'm sure there's gonna be some sort
of crazy spots that go viral. But
517
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.599
I don't know. I think Elian
I would have been the right choice.
518
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.119
Yeah, but Logan Paul, Ricochet
all trampoline match. Yeah, and they
519
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.559
just dunk basketballs and catch footballs as
well. Raquel Gonzalez and a Live Morgan
520
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.119
feat Ronda rousing Shana Basler to win
the w Women's Sack Team Championship. We
521
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:28.719
did not produce this match. Match
was fine. The build of Shana's shockingly
522
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.400
turning on Ronda was non existent,
but the shock of the moment was executed
523
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:35.480
really well because nobody saw it coming. It was a cool, surprising moment.
524
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.000
I guess the build to this was
supposed to happen over time, but
525
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.159
Ronda's injury threw things off from a
storyline standpoint, and it also Piercy is
526
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.079
probably on her way out again,
which is why they fast tracked this.
527
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:51.840
It looks like Shane and Ronda for
SummerSlam. I thought Ronda was potentially gonna
528
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:53.679
be a baby face, but Shana
was clearly a baby face on Monday's Raw,
529
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.000
So it looks like Ronda's time and
wis coming up again. I hate
530
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:00.519
to see it fast tracked, but
it was a cool moment on the last
531
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:06.800
Rackuel Gonzals and living more in our
two times Women's Acteam champions Now and maybe
532
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.079
like like recap of the match.
I thought the match was fine. It
533
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:14.639
is what it is. But you
know, the shock of Shana turning was
534
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.079
pretty cool. That caught me off
guard. I look at it in a
535
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:21.079
couple of ways, like we knew
they were gonna be NFBING Tag Team champions
536
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.239
at some point, and then at
some point they were gonna feud. It
537
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:29.039
gives the women's tag division an opportunity
to be half depth. I guess,
538
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:31.960
like everybody's on an even playing field, whereas if SHANEA and rond are just
539
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.599
running rough shot over the division,
you kind of lose that a little bit.
540
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.719
And now you can bring in Katana
and and and uh a ton of
541
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.559
Chance and Kayden Carter. You know, now you can bringing back you know
542
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:49.760
I La Donna and Alba Fire.
You can bring in some of the other
543
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.960
tags. Committee Yes, Um,
so it gives the tag team divisions of
544
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:59.320
death in the women's division. Um. And then Plus, I'm really excited
545
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:04.599
about Shane in a baby face because
like, we love just badass baby faces
546
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:08.199
that can tap people out, like
that's like no nonsense, nobs, just
547
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:12.840
kick ass baby faces. We kind
of love that this might be a really
548
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.679
good thing for Shana because we haven't
really seen her in this role in her
549
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.599
time in WWE. Yeah, it
looks like if this is maybe forever for
550
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.719
Ronda Rousey or a long extended period
of time, she wants to do the
551
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.119
honors to Shannon Baseler on the way
out because Shanner got her, literally got
552
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.800
her into professional wrestling, so it
would be nice. I've always been a
553
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.400
fan of Shannon Baselor. She was
one of the most dominant females in the
554
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.199
history of this show at one point
in the annext run, so I'm happy
555
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.320
that she's getting some rub here,
even as a baby face, something she's
556
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.119
never done in w as well.
Gunther defeats Matt Riddle to retain the w
557
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.119
W Intercuntinal Championship. We did not
predict this match. Dominant victor victory for
558
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.559
Gunther work on the injured ankle of
Riddle. It was great to see Drew
559
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.880
Mcatar back and sending in sights in
the Intercontinal Championship as he has a legit
560
00:37:55.000 --> 00:38:01.760
chance at ending Gunther's current historic rain
doctor Dre Gunther retained. Yeah, I
561
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.960
was expecting more out of this match. I don't know about you. I
562
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.000
just kind of thought with Riddle's background, and you know, he came back
563
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:12.360
kind of hot, was featured in
the Bloodline stuff for a little bit than
564
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.760
the Imperium stuff. When I got
to know this match, I was like,
565
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.280
man, are they kind of not
writing Riddle off but the elevating Riddle
566
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:24.559
because he basically got his ass kicked
and then Drew McIntyre came out and stole
567
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:29.360
his spotlight post match, and that's
pretty much it. So it's like,
568
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.199
all right, maybe we's he Matt
Riddle back in like the mid card area,
569
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.239
I guess for a little while.
So but you know, Drew and
570
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.760
Drew and Gunther, like, that's
gonna be a hell of a match.
571
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:43.000
I almost said, banger, I
don't want to steal from Shamus there,
572
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:47.159
but that'll be a really really solid
matchup. And it's just good as he
573
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.199
drew back, because that was something
we were all kind of worried about for
574
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.800
a little while, according to us, and not Triple Ah because he said
575
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:58.800
he thought that was funny that all
of us people thought that Drew might leave.
576
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:00.760
So but yeah, Acos, he
drew back and the crowd was hot
577
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.880
for it, and just he's one
of my favorite performers. Will see in
578
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:08.360
the ring right now. Yeah,
Drew Mcaty totally Alphredum Matt Riddle, So
579
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.320
I don't know. That was weird. Like I'm coming in for the intercardinal
580
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.360
title. Move out of the way. I know you're the number one contender,
581
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:16.039
and he's like, all right,
bro, let's go get some hamburgers.
582
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:22.079
Like that was that was so weird, that raw interaction which U when
583
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.039
you go back and if you watch
it, there's like one woman who says
584
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.440
take your top off, and Drew
Mcaty acknowledges it. He's like, I
585
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:30.800
could hear you ask me to take
my top off? I thought it was
586
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:35.760
a very funny moment. H Cody
Rhodes defeats Dominic Masterial. We both think
587
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.599
Cody Rhodes getting victory. Match feel
like the offense wasentywenty five and favorite of
588
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:44.320
Cody, which is how it should
be heading into another Lessner match at summerslamm
589
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.159
And just side note here, how
about dom Mysterio being promoted in a pay
590
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:50.960
per view triple main event match.
Never thought I would see the day of
591
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:54.320
that happening. So Cody defeats Dom
Yeah, and the match was exactly what
592
00:39:54.360 --> 00:40:00.280
I expected, Like you gotta you
have the smarmy, crappy lmy heel that
593
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.079
did a hide behind you know,
Ria Ripley. He shouldn't get that much
594
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.519
offense. He should you know,
occasionally get it the match in peril,
595
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:10.920
you know, create that obstacle for
Cody. But in the end, like
596
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:15.239
the whole idea is that Cody's gotta
looked pretty strong heading into the SummerSlam.
597
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:20.679
So um, I just thought was
also cool seeing we got a Roods Mysterio
598
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.960
matchup and it wasn't Ray or Dusty
or dust In, so like that's pretty
599
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:27.880
cool to me as well. So
um, yeah it was. It was
600
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.639
a fine little match there, and
I still love that dom is so hey,
601
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.559
I still want Dominic to steal the
money in the bank briefcase and try
602
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:38.360
cash in. That's what that's my
goal. Next match here is EO Sky
603
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:42.960
Defeedians Lina Vega, Becky Lynch.
So he started Bailey and Tris Stratus and
604
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:46.000
the women's Money in the Bank ladder
match to win a Women's co Championship match
605
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:50.159
contract at a later date. We
both at EO Sky getting the victory.
606
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.000
Another great money in the bank match
I really like to finish for EO Sky
607
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.800
handcuff Becky Lynch and Bailey to one
another through the ladder. I thought that
608
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.280
was a very creative finish and I
enjoyed this match as EO Sky wins money
609
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.719
in the bank. Woy. So
didn't we see the handcuff thing a couple
610
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.440
of years ago? You're thinking of
Sammy Zane the triple threat Interconnal Champion match
611
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:15.880
with with Jeff Hardy. Yes,
so that's it's but I don't remember both
612
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:19.639
opponents being handcuffed to one another,
like where they can't climb up the ladder.
613
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.760
I thought that was more like they
went through his ear, remember that?
614
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:29.639
Like that that was and that was
an awesome match. Yeah, So,
615
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:30.679
I mean I thought it was kind
of cool, and I like,
616
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:35.280
my only issue was that eos are
laughing about it, and I'm like no,
617
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.840
no, no, like be desperate
to win the title like she kind
618
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.679
of lingered that. That's my only
knock on EO is that sometimes she lingers
619
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.440
too much, like you're a heel
and you're playing to the crowd or your
620
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.320
heel and you're you know, getting
in them to cheer for you. Is
621
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.280
like she forgets that she's the bad
girl sometimes. But I think in this
622
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:57.000
role now, especially with Bailey and
knocking her off the ladder, you know,
623
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.320
that kind of puts EO in a
different spot. So I don't know
624
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.239
about you. I'm really excited for
EO and Oscar when that match comes around,
625
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.960
because that's like a triple aged dream
match right there, as those two
626
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.519
girls going at it. So he
tried to make it happen with Kyrie and
627
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.280
Osca, and now we're gonna get
EO and Oscar. So I'm really excited
628
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.880
to see what those ladies can do
when they finally cross pass. Next matches,
629
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.880
Seth Freakin Rolls defeating Finn Baaler to
retain the w Ordwade Championship. We
630
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.639
both had Seth Freakin Rolls at the
victory. Good match Surprising finished with Damien
631
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:30.039
pretty slight distracting causing Finn Balor Or
the match. We saw that carry over
632
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.840
on Monday's Raw that closed there with
Seth Rollins taking on Dirty Dom Mysterio.
633
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.480
Damien was on the verge of cashing
in and Finn Balor came out cause it
634
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:44.800
distraction stopped the cash in. They
started bickering with one another earlier in the
635
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:49.039
night Judgment Day was saying like a
great moment with Dom like with with Ree
636
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.679
Ripley's like Finn's not here tonight and
you hear Tom say you spoke to Finn
637
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.760
today and she was like stop it, stop it. So you're seeing some
638
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.760
of the cracks with the Judgment Day, which is a shame because the Judgment
639
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:04.280
Day has been so entertaining and fun
to watch on TV, which then it
640
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.639
reaches the point where it's like we
got to start causing tension between everybody internally
641
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:12.000
in the group and potentially break them
up soon right when they're reaching their height.
642
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.639
Hopefully that doesn't happen. But Seth
freaking Ronins defeats Finn Bowder to retain
643
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.719
Doctor Trey. Yeah. I really
enjoyed the match. I thought there's a
644
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.119
good storytelling in there. The finish
I thought was really well done as well,
645
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.360
like Damien just standing up like if
hert cash in, Like, I
646
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:27.719
thought that was really like we've got
that was to me it was kind of
647
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:30.320
original. We haven't really seen that
before as well. So overall I just
648
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.079
really enjoyed that match and all the
different layers going into it and the layers
649
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.400
coming out of it. And then
finally the main event, the USO's defeat
650
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.800
the Bloodline Roman Rains and Solskoya and
the Bloodline Civil War tag team match.
651
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:45.719
We both had the Bloodline getting the
victories, so we got that one wrong.
652
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.840
Great match with awesome storytelling, and
the finish with Jayuso getting the pin
653
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.199
on Roman Rains was shocking and it
makes so much sense for the story.
654
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.159
So Roman Rains gets pinned for the
first time since December twenty nineteen, which
655
00:43:57.239 --> 00:43:59.719
was at the hands of Baron Corbyn, which is shocking. And think about
656
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.039
we are in twenty twenty three where
Baron Corban is losing on an NXT television.
657
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:07.440
It looks like Roman Rains versus jay
Uso is going to be a rumored
658
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:12.840
match for SummerSlam. I said have
been saying recently that I felt like jay
659
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.119
Uso was the most compelling wrestler in
all of professional wrestling today, So it
660
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:20.000
made so much sense. This is
a great match, Doctor Tres Usos get
661
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.960
the victory. No, this was
this was a really really fun, entertaining,
662
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:30.239
just great professional wrestling match. He
had the storytelling, the injurygue brother
663
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.400
against brother, Cousins against Cousin,
like all the different layers you wanted to
664
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:38.599
match arguably maybe the one of the
greatest tag teams of all time than the
665
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:45.159
most dominant champion of recent memory.
Like, look that Samoan Spike spear spot
666
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.400
was just awesome and I was like, there's no way like Jay Usso basically
667
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.000
kicked out of both their finishers hitting
him at one time. Like that's pretty
668
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:58.800
compelling as well. So this great
match shows the heart and the toughest of
669
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.559
the USOS, the depth that you
know, Roman will sink to all that
670
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:07.000
stuff. Roman on the apron telling
Paul Hayman how much England sucks? Like
671
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.280
that was great, Like it was
just like it literally had a little bit
672
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:15.320
of everything. Is so just a
fantastic professional wrestling match. Yeah, so
673
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:19.639
much fun, great stuff all around. And then pay per view predictions.
674
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.320
We both went four and one coming
out of Money the Bank, So I'm
675
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:23.719
sixty one and twenty one in the
year. Dutch Tray is fifty six and
676
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:30.079
twenty six. Dutch Tray has been
on fire lately with predictions event rating Match
677
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:31.920
of the night. I gave money
to the Bank at three point nine and
678
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:36.679
my match of the night was the
USOS and the Bloodline. See I had
679
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:38.320
a four point zero, so I
had USO's in the bloodline also is my
680
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:43.000
match of the night. It's so
funny. I had a Forben Indoor higher
681
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.920
ranked and Money the Bank slightly below. You had Money in the Bank higher
682
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:49.920
ranked and Forben indoors slightly below.
But we both had the same match of
683
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.719
the night, which is funny.
Yeah, there you go. We I
684
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.519
mean, sometimes we're gonna say way
blink, but like you know, different
685
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:59.000
tastes a little bit on certain things, but for the most part we're pretty
686
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:00.239
on the same French ones. Look, you and I have been married a
687
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:05.760
lot longer than we've been to the
different strokes for different folks, right doctor,
688
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.440
try that's what they say? Now, someone to the eighties theme song.
689
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:12.639
M all right. So a couple
of things there are housekeeping before we
690
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.960
wrap up this week's Editions show.
Let's start with Twitter first. So put
691
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:22.920
out a post on Facebook and Twitter
on Wednesday, so, which I'm sure
692
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:28.079
everybody knows. Elon Musk, the
owner of Twitter um is limiting tweets now.
693
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:31.320
I think I think normal people,
unless you pay one hundred bucks a
694
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:36.480
year, can see a thousand tweets
aday. In my personal life, I
695
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:42.119
wasn't using Twitter all that much.
And with this same pain service, tweet
696
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:47.159
Deck, which is a program that
we use to schedule tweets on SRTU podcast
697
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:52.199
on Twitter and Russell Chattanette on Twitter, is now going to be something you
698
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:57.599
have to pay for a month from
now, so instead of like sticking with
699
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.920
tweet Deck, which they just change
the whole way that program has ran.
700
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:05.559
And it's shittier now of course that
it was a week ago. I don't
701
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.800
know why they changed it. You're
not going to see schedule tweets anymore.
702
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:14.280
You're not going to see us tweeting
promoting the show as much as we used
703
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.440
to, which is unfortunate, but
I think it's kind of with the times.
704
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.800
I think a lot of people are
starting to get off Twitter. I
705
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.800
don't use a personal Twitter account.
I don't know if you do, Doctor
706
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.800
Trey. I tend to use it
more to like read news and not tweet
707
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:31.119
anymore because it's such a cesspool of
bs. So we'll still tweet when the
708
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.280
show is up and available for download, but you just won't see it up
709
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:39.159
as frequently anymore as we used to. And I guess, just to discuss
710
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:45.400
as well, threads, which I
guess is Facebook's version of Twitter. We
711
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.519
have not opened an account yet.
I don't know if we will, to
712
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.320
be honest with you, because I
don't know. Doctor Trey and I are
713
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.119
old on social media, So just
keep it locked on Facebook, dot com,
714
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:59.280
slash sto, REALTI show at SRTU
podcast still and of course subscribe to
715
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.480
us on iTunes. That helps us
out. So that's a Twitter update,
716
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:04.880
doctree. I never thought I would
have to address Elon Musk, but here
717
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:07.920
we are on srt U. I
mean, I only thought that if we
718
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:12.039
ever got big time and we got
to go on on the Shuttle mission,
719
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:16.360
that we could do like SRTU from
Space. That the only reason I thought
720
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:21.639
we'd ever have to address Elon Musk
on our show. And apparently, um,
721
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:24.000
like I, like you said,
I don't really tweet that much.
722
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:29.760
Sammy doesn't like tweeting all that much. If no, we're talking ce Samy's
723
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:32.400
trying to hijack the show right now. Um, but yeah, we don't
724
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:38.079
tweet that often. So like,
I'm much more of a Facebook and Instagram
725
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:44.159
and that user. I guess.
Yeah, So, um, we don't,
726
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.559
I mean I don't. We don't
have an SRTU TikTok page so here
727
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.880
you go. No, we're too
old for that shit. I'm not dancing,
728
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.880
Treys not dancing. So um so
there's one house. Keep united in
729
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:59.239
the second one next week's show seven
hundredth episode, seven hundred straight weeks of
730
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:04.039
SRTU, and on next week's editions
show, Doctor Trey and I both individually
731
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:08.280
will give you our top five wrestler's
list from the SRTU era. So from
732
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:13.159
twenty and ten to present, Doctor
Trey and I will bring you our top

00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:16.039
five wrestlers of all time in the
history of SRTU. So that is on
734
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:20.760
next week's edition of SRTU. With
that said, let's get a couple of
735
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:22.159
plugs and sponsored out of the way. You can Downlands show every Thursday at
736
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:27.280

Radio dot com. And of course they

00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.639

747
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.280
I got rockets CID Wrestling. He's
had a really big show on July
748
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:07.719
first. Next show's coming up July
fifteenth. Starting August fifth, we will
749
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.760
be on Fight TV as well,
so some big news from that. Also,
750
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:17.119
if if you ever check out the
Conrad Thompson add free podcast up,
751
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:21.320
you will see rocket City on there. They use our building a couple of
752
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:27.400
weeks ago to host their ad free
weekend. So Rocket City's own Tiger Kid
753
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:35.039
actually won the first ever ad free
show championship that was picked by the fans
754
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:39.400
of all all CONRADS podcasts. So
Rocket City featured very, very prominently on
755
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:45.159
the Conrad Thompson podcasting network that we
are not on, but by God,
756
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:49.679
we probably should get something for us. It'd be nice that would be nice.
757
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.639
Conrad help but help us out so
that we can stay on Twitter.
758
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.920
I guess all right. So with
that being said, until next week for
759
00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:01.800
the seven hundredth episode of SRTU,
we close out the six hundred chapter of

5
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.759
Jeff Becker. You're joined every single
week my host only doctor Trey Franklin's Doctor
6
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.359
Trey. I've had to get caught
up on a lot of wrestling, my
7
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.000
friend, so I have to ask
this. I know you're on. So
8
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.560
for one, congratulations you're not the
only married guy. I'll just show anymore.
9
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.039
That's right, thank you. Number
two, you would on your honeymoon,
10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.240
now I know what I would a
mind wrestling was kind of forbidden on
11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.959
my honeymoon to a degree, like
I wasn't really we didn't watch wrestling.
12
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.040
We didn't I didn't really look up
anything. I tried to stay focused on
13
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.519
the honeymoon phase. Now, did
you abide by that guideline as well?
14
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.959
Or you know, since you've been
dating your now wife for a very very
15
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.920
long time, did you kind of
know the deal? So um to answer
16
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.079
your question first, circumstances. So
I'm gonna say, with the circumstances permitting,
17
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.719
I did watch wrestling, and I
will explain why I watched wrestling,
18
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.280
and I think once I explained it, everybody will feel bad. But got
19
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:45.640
married on Saturday, the twenty fourth
of June. Sunday the twenty fifth,
20
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.319
we traveled and our flight was a
little bit delayed, like I was on
21
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.519
the on the tar mat for a
while, and once we flew into where
22
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.239
we were that evening, I did
watch because it was very late and we
23
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.439
were just getting ready to start the
next day. I did watch Woe's Most
24
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.959
Wanted Treasures and Stone Call Takes on
America. So I did watch that wrestling
25
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.360
programming, so that at that point
in time, that was supposed to be
26
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.560
the only wrestling programming I was going
to watch, and I it was it
27
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.400
was gonna be way too busy for
for us to do it. I didn't
28
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.240
even bother to tune in to Forbidden
Door that night, Like I could have
29
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.479
easily like started watching the second half
of the show if I wanted to,
30
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.840
but I chose not to. I
was like, I'll wait till I get
31
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.280
home, I'll watch it on replay. Um fast forward a couple of days
32
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.719
later, Tuesday night, had dinner
with Um, with with my family and
33
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:44.120
my wife's family all traveled down with
us because we did what a reception in
34
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.280
a way, so we did did
a reception with everybody we it was it
35
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.599
was going to be a destination wedding, but UM my grandmother, and we
36
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.759
wanted her to be part of it. She unfortunately had passed away about a
37
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.080
couple months after we we got engaged, so we couldn't moved plans around,
38
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.879
so we had this reception. Was
this whole week that we had, the
39
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.800
vacation week Tusan. I had dinner
with my wife and my my my immediate
40
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.240
family while the rest of her family
were out doing some things and had some
41
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.639
meat loaf. My my sister in
law had some meat loaf, My dad
42
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.520
had some meat loaf. Went home. About two am Wednesday morning, I
43
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:34.919
woke up to intense stomach pains and
proceeded to get rid of anything that was
44
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.280
in my stomach in a very short
period of time. That was what they
45
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:46.319
call food poisoning. So I had
food poisoning all day Wednesday. It screwed
46
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.520
up the entire day. Obviously,
had to go to urgent care. My
47
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.439
wife was with me for about most
of the day during all that, and
48
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.400
it reached the point where I went
to urgent Care about like four o'clock Wednesday
49
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.240
afternoon, got medication, started to
feel better, was eating like a bird.
50
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.879
They put me on this brat diet, not because I'm a brat.
51
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.120
It's banana rice, apple sauce,
and toast, no butter. I know,
52
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.600
exciting stuff to have while you're on
vacation. So I was stuck doing
53
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.040
that. I started to feel better, told my wife to go with her
54
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:29.120
family enjoy the rest of the evening. So my family was out there as
55
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.000
well, and I stayed back at
the hotel room and I watched on the
56
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:39.079
DVR that week's edition of Monday Night
Raw for three hours. So I broke
57
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.120
my I had zero plans too.
My plan was I was going to get
58
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.800
back on Saturday, July first,
and then I was just going to sit
59
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.000
down and like power through all wrestling
programming. But I was able. The
60
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.720
only thing I watched was the three
hour edition of Raw, so that one
61
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.600
leading into money in the bank because
I had food poisoning, and that was
62
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.959
like a okay, But outside of
that, no other wrestling programming. So
63
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.519
your wife got so in the vows
they say for better, for wors,
64
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.040
for sickness and in health. Your
wife got hit with the worst part at
65
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.079
the sickness part right away. Oh
yeah, I think she was like afraid
66
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.879
for me, because, I mean, throwing up is not a great pleasant
67
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.759
thing. And I said to her
at one point, I was like,
68
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.879
this is one of the worst days
of my life, like legitimately, and
69
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.040
when it comes to sicknesses I've had
in my life, lime disease, the
70
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.000
flu, and that food poisoning bout
I had is on the mount rushmore.
71
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:47.319
I mean it was I maybe in
the last the entire time we've been together
72
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.959
has been twelve years, and I
would say and maybe fifteen to twenty years,
73
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.439
I've probably thrown up five times,
which is great, good number,
74
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.839
staff, right, that's good statistics. Five fifteen years, five times maybe
75
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.839
thrown up. I threw up like
seven eight times in less than twenty four
76
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.879
hours. I mean I had nothing
left in my stomach. Yeah. I
77
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.360
went through that, you know,
a couple of months ago when I got
78
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.720
put on that new medication for my
diabetes, and like we were doing the
79
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.920
show, I threw up during the
show. I remember that I told you
80
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.240
that off air, like drew up, like hey bye, I threw up.
81
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.319
It's one of those things where like
if you don't like for guys like
82
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.000
guys like I'm not I'm not a
big drinker. You're not a big drinker.
83
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.959
We don't really ever get overly intoxicated
and throw up. So for us,
84
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.560
like we're throwing up, there's something
really wrong. Now, now are
85
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.319
you blaming the meat loaf? Did
Dad and sister get hit with it as
86
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.800
well? Or no? Just you
somehow? Nope, Nope, did not.
87
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.199
Um it was. It was a
big Disney vacation that we all went
88
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.560
on. So I was down in
Disney World in the fl which was hot
89
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.879
as hell. I don't know how
you guys, you Southerners do it,
90
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.160
do Trey? I mean I stepped
outside and I just within two I can
91
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.079
look like I took a shower.
But no, they did not get sick.
92
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.000
I remember going urgent carera. I
was like everybody was trying to tell
93
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:11.480
me doctor Trey that I had heat
stroke. I didn't drink enough water.
94
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.160
And I'm a huge, like religiously
huge. I drink water like crazy.
95
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.680
I never dehydrate. I only drink
water quite honestly, like outside of coffee
96
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:26.920
and milk in my cereal, Like
that's literally all I drink is just water.
97
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.680
I don't drink soda. I drink
beer and an alcohol on occasion,
98
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.920
but it's strictly water. And I
was like, I am not dehydrating,
99
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.759
guys, stop pushing that. Like
I got food poisoning. But it's like,
100
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.240
but everybody else in the group didn't
get food poisoning. So went to
101
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.199
urgent care and I was like,
hey, you know, I think I
102
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.439
got sick off of this. Everybody
else did not get sick off of it.
103
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.560
Is that possible? And the doctor
said, he's like, everybody's DNA
104
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.600
is different. You know, you
could have had a bad piece. They
105
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.279
could have had a better stomach to
handle the entire thing than you were.
106
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.839
But yeah, it to me being
the doctor saying this, this does sound
107
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.120
like food poison and I was and
I was cleared up within twenty four hours,
108
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.480
thank god, because it did screw
up like the biggest night that we
109
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.279
were supposed to have dinner wise,
with all of our families together. It
110
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:15.040
was supposed to be the quote reception
dinner. We did very much a DIY
111
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.439
very small wedding. I had twelve
people including myself with my wife in attendance.
112
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.399
For the wedding, the same twelve
people all traveled down to Florida as
113
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.439
well. It was a very fun
time. But the next day, that
114
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.240
Thursday, we were supposed to do
a for Anybody's erben in the Disney World.
115
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.440
We were going to go to Animal
Kingdom or we went to Animal Kingdom
116
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.679
spoiler. I ended up making it
and we did this what they called Wild
117
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.600
Africa Trek, which is behind the
scenes safari that they do so they have
118
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.200
a safari you go through the zoo
and everything like that at Disney's Animal Kingdom,
119
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.279
and we did a more behind the
scenes, up close a venture which
120
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.159
I was really looking forward to.
Was able to do it, thank god.
121
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.440
But there were times where I'm like, man, how the hell am
122
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.720
I going to get home? And
I was supposed to like fly out on
123
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.399
Saturday. The way I was feeling
then, I was like, ah am
124
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.320
I gonna like I literally And I'm
the type of guy too, DOCTORV like
125
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.039
I never want to go to the
hospital. I never think I need to
126
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.679
go to hospital. And I debated. I was like, dude, I
127
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.759
need to leave here in an ambulance, like I don't know if I either
128
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.679
strength to do it, or the
stomach or any other one how to get
129
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.279
through this right now to get looked
at by a doctor. It was.
130
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.360
It was brutally bad. Oh yeah, I've had it. I've had food
131
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.559
poisoning twice that I know of,
and like I've heard the first time I
132
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.879
got it. It didn't I didn't
get the vomiting, but it just literally
133
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.879
I got home and I was like, man, I don't feel right.
134
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.120
I laid down the saly I know. I was like twelve hours later.
135
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.799
I had no strength. I was
just weak. I felt like somebody had
136
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:50.080
literally poisoned me. And it was
about twenty four to thirty six hours.
137
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.360
Actually was back when I was traveling
and I actually was supposed to be picking
138
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.600
up a guy to take him like
Ohio or somewhere, and he had to
139
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.759
state an extra data hotel and didn't
what was going on because I was so
140
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.000
weak. I couldn't answer my phone, couldn't do anything. It literally wipes
141
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.960
you out. Yeah, and then
it's just like randomly like oh, I
142
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.759
feel better, Like it just kind
of comes out of nowhere that you're like,
143
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.879
oh, Okay. I feel you
go from like feeling five percent to
144
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.200
like eighty percent and you don't even
realize it. You're was like, oh,
145
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.159
okay, I guess I guess the
worst is past. So but kudos
146
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.360
to you for being a trooper,
Kudos to your wife for standing beside you
147
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.639
and not looking to find the minister
during all the whole thing and didn't start
148
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:37.080
over. So the happiest place on
earth and you get through it poisoning yep,
149
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.679
yeah, I mean. The one
thing good thing is I did I
150
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.559
was able to watch three hours of
RAW because I did not get cut off,
151
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.960
caught up all completely caught up on
wrestling until literally this morning when I
152
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.720
watched the final hour of AW dyn
of Mind from this past Wednesday. It.
153
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.360
I mean, obviously loved getting married, enjoyed the wedding and all that
154
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.519
great stuff. But if I'm a
wrestling fan who prospect, who does a
155
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.279
wrestling podcast, I could not have
picked a worse time where there's an AW
156
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.559
pay per view which is already five
hours, right, and a WWWE pay
157
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.639
per view just sandwiched in there and
then had to recap it in the last
158
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.039
two weeks. Obviously, if you've
been joining us the last two weeks.
159
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.799
You know, two weeks ago it
was a very timely show, but last
160
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.240
week's show was not as timely because
I was away and we recorded it in
161
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.039
advance to kind of give a little
bit of a break and what's going on,
162
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.559
and then we're going to come back
here and recap and review everything.
163
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.080
So we're back here. It's been
a lot of wrestling, Doctor Try,
164
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.039
I guess if you consider it all
because I had to watch the pre show
165
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.200
as well Forbidden Doors, so that
was about a five hours show. You
166
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.200
had the three hour Raw, eight
hours, two hours of NXT, ten
167
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.159
hours, two hours of Dynamite twelve
hours, two hours of SmackDown fourteen,
168
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.440
Rampage one hour, and then Saturday
was mining the Bank. That was about
169
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.200
three hours. So that's when we
up to twenty one. Eighteen well eighteen
170
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.759
not cutting collision, did I Okay? So eighteen right now, then the
171
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.720
two hours of collisions. I'm at
twenty right, Yeah, twenty three hours
172
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.600
for Raw, two hours for an
XT, twenty five, two hours from
173
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.200
Dynamite, twenty seven. So that
brings us to now, right, So
174
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.080
twenty seven hours of wrestling I actually
watched. I think the only thing I
175
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.960
missed, and it's because they didn't
do any matches was the money the bank
176
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.639
pre show. So, man,
what an idiot I am? Yeah,
177
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.399
I wasn't a saying because the fact
of the matter is you your anniversary date
178
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.919
is literally a week after mine.
So there are times that you have no
179
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.519
control over your life. And usually
the wedding day, the planning of the
180
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.519
wedding, the date that's selected,
you really don't have that much control over,
181
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.720
so you just have to write it
out and then if you have responsibilities,
182
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.639
you just got to circle back and
get it all taken care of.
183
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.559
So you know, I am,
I am lad that you didn't go into
184
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.240
just like twenty four hours of Lamon's
I just binge watched all twenty seven hours
185
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.279
straight because I know you you're a
trooper. You could probably have done it
186
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.440
just with a lot of red Bull
and coffee. But at least you powered
187
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.639
through it. I'll say this much. If you watched all twenty seven hours,
188
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.200
you beat me and I didn't have
a wedding or a honeymoon to go
189
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.639
through. Yeah, I think that's
probably the OCD in me that I got
190
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.200
to sit there and watch. I
mean, I try not to miss most
191
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.600
wrestling things. But it's definitely getting
difficult, right, I Mean that's what
192
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.399
we've talked about with Collision and all
that stuff. It's it's it's certainly becoming
193
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.039
difficult to be a wrestling fan and
actually like staying up to date on a
194
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.440
lot of this ship. Like they're
making you do tribalism now, even though
195
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.279
they don't want you to. Yeah, we're like anyone on the end of
196
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.559
like on the indie them there,
like you hit our guys, like why
197
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.519
can't we just work together and everybody
appreciate everything. It's like there's just not
198
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.080
enough time. Like there's literally not
like you you're either it's you know,
199
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.000
Coke and PEPSI Ford and Chevy.
It's it's you have to kind of kick
200
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.759
a side almost if you want to
consume everything, unless you're like me and
201
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.519
you'll like, go, okay,
let me read about it first. If
202
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.759
it looks good, then I'll go
back and watch it to kind of see
203
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.200
things. But like I have friends
in mine they're like, hey, did
204
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.879
you want Like I missed part of
Monday Night Raw and I missed the Rea
205
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.279
Ripley Italian match, and my buddy
was like, dude, that was actually
206
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.240
a really good match, and I'm
like, crap, they finally had a
207
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.279
good match and I missed it.
Now I have to try to go back
208
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.559
and fit it into my schedule right
now. So it is a bit of
209
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.360
like you have to choose a side
in the battle, even though they'll tell
210
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.200
you that they don't want you choosing
sides, but you almost have to,
211
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.879
just because there's not enough hours in
the day to consume everything. And just
212
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.799
to also give an update here,
because we talked about on the podcast and
213
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.240
at that point I would have figured
it wasn't going to be a problem.
214
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.279
But for those who've been tuning in, you knew about my wedding band issue,
215
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.679
where I didn't have a wedding band
even though I got sized for one
216
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.879
in January and I lost so much
fucking weight that I couldn't fit in it
217
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:11.879
anymore. Um. I got a
phone call Thursday before our wedding saying that
218
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:18.320
the ring that we had ordered to
uh my new ring wasn't going to work.
219
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.240
So they were gonna they were gonna
put like this bar in my ring,
220
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.120
doctor Trebe, so that it once
I gained weight again, that it
221
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.240
would it would be a bigger size
and they couldn't do it with the ring
222
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.720
that I had, so they didn't
know what to do, which made things
223
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.159
fun. Make a long story short, they ended up finding a ring,
224
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.480
the ring that I needed, with
the right size, so they couldn't do
225
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.639
this bar and I picked it up
on Friday at about two pm Eastern and
226
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.759
I was getting married eleven am the
next day, so I liked that they
227
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.440
basically had to put a belt on
your ring. That was the plan.
228
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.639
We're basically gonna basically make a belt
to hold your ring in place until you
229
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.799
get at again. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So yeah, I don't know if
230
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.559
this was an infomercial for getting married
or not. To be honest with everyone,
231
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.679
anyway, let's get into it.
Let's talk some wrestling here, doctor
232
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.879
try Let's talk about the twenty seven
hours of wrestling that I watched. Let's
233
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:18.440
start with aw New Japan Pearl Wrestling
Forbiddendoor Recamp or Review came to us two
234
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.879
weeks ago from the Scotia Bank Arena
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Let's
235
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.240
get to the first match here was
on the pre show, The Mobile Embassy
236
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.679
defeats Chaos Tremperetta, Chuck Taylor and
Rocky Romero and l Desperado. We did
237
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:36.279
not predict this match. The multiple
miscommunications between Swerve and Brian Cage that led
238
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.120
to nothing was strange. Swerve Strickland
needs a singles championship around his waist as
239
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.919
soon as possible. In my opinion, I am looking forward to his match
240
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.360
with Nick Wayne at this Wednesday's edition. Him done to my any thoughts on
241
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.000
this pre show match, Yeah,
it was You're right, it was weird
242
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.039
the miscommunication stuff, but overall,
I was just kind of fodder. I
243
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.679
kind of feel bad for Trent and
Chucked because they're one of my favorite tag
244
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.080
teams to watch. They're just so
good and they're basically in that role where
245
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.200
they just have to help elevate everybody
else. And I still think Brian Cage
246
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.480
is maybe the most overready wrestler maybe
of all time. He might be up
247
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.640
there, Brill, I thought you
were a Brian Cage fan. No.
248
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.279
I like Brian Cage, like,
I mean, I'm glad they put him
249
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.480
a Prince Nana because you look at
Brian Cage and you're like, this guy
250
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.240
should be a monster, should be
a beast. But then like you hear
251
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.160
him talk and he sounds like a
fifteen year old kid, and it's just
252
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.319
like, yeah, it doesn't really
match up. And then he tries to
253
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.240
wrestle like a cruiserweight even though he's
like two seventy five and solid muscle,
254
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.000
Like nothing really goes together. Like
if if Brian Cage wrestled like Wardlow every
255
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.400
match, he'd be more believable.
But like doing all the stuff he does
256
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.839
is it's impressive, but you don't
need to do it. So I just
257
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.519
think he's just one. Like I
think you think he's over been overhyped for
258
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:59.559
all these years. Next match is
Athena defeating Billy Starks in a quarterfinal match
259
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.519
in the women Owenhart Foundation Tournament.
We did not predict this match, solid
260
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:04.960
match. I thought Athena and Billy
Starks had a lot of good chemistry in
261
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.319
the ring. Were my notes from
this one. Yeah, I like Billy
262
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.720
Starks. She's, you know,
kind of a local girl. She's from
263
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.119
like our area. Some of my
friends had a hand in training her.
264
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.319
So I always, you know,
if you got kind of got a little
265
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.839
bit of a soft spot for people, you know. But Athene is such
266
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.160
a beast and like she's taken to
this new role so well, so is
267
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.799
it entertaining? Good match? It
solid, especially for Billy Starks. I
268
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.200
think Billy's been wrestling like three and
a half years, so to be on
269
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.680
that stage and performed that well,
I thought it was a good feathered her
270
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.319
cap Al Fantasma defeat Stu Grayson.
We did not predict this match. I
271
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.680
did not know Stu Grayson turned on
Dark Order as I don't watch ro Oh
272
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.240
good match. I've always enjoyed watching
e LP wrestle. Yeah, I like
273
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.720
ELP. I also did not know
Stu interned on the Dark Order because I
274
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.599
thought they had just brought him back
to join the Dark Order. But who
275
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.920
knows? Uh, like went again? There so much wrestling to consume you'd
276
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.880
missed stuff, But I thought it
was fine. I liked Stu as well,
277
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.440
so I thought it was a fine
match. Eli j Los Ignarboles,
278
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.440
de Hapong, Bushi, Shingo Takagi
and Hiromo Takashi defeated United Empires Kyle Fletcher,
279
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.960
Jeff Cobb and t JP. We
did not predict this match. Fun
280
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.359
match that I wish I had some
more time or was Showcase on the main
281
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.440
show for people that like New Japan. I'm sure they were digging this as
282
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.200
I was. Lij gets the victory. Yeah, this is kind of my
283
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.519
theme for a lot of this show, which was in ring wise, it
284
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.960
was great, just there was no
build up to it, no story really
285
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.720
too it. So it's kind of
like, oh so I kind of have
286
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.799
to follow everything to understand the storylines
of the show. So in ring work
287
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.200
was fantastic, so great six man
tag, but once again, wish I
288
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.880
had a little more time and I
wish there was some depth to it.
289
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.480
MJFF defeats Hiroshi Tonahashi to retain the
AW World Championship. We will at MJF
290
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.319
get in the victory. I felt
like it was a standard MJF match.
291
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.960
It was a fine match. I
hate to say this, but Tanahashi is
292
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.240
starting to slow down. I'm glad
you said. I've kind of thought that
293
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.960
seeing from his last couple of appearances
in the US. But you know,
294
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.640
for MJF to get a win over
Tonahashi's a feather to his cap. I
295
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.200
thought the match was fine. I
did you know. It's one of the
296
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.000
things where was like it was a
solid match. It's just nothing that you're
297
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.400
going to like stick out your mind
and be memorable other than MJF getting a
298
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:30.279
win over Tanahashi. Next matches see
him Punk defeating Satoshi Kojima and a quarterfinal
299
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.559
match in the Men's Own Heart Foundation
Tournament. We did not predict this one.
300
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.400
Good match. I love Punk,
leaning to the Canadian crowd booing him.
301
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.400
I thought the GTS finish was weak
and really the only blemish on the
302
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.799
match as Punk defeated the New Japan
Legends to Toshi Kijima. Yeah, I
303
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.359
kind of thought maybe Kojima, like
I don't want to say stiffed him,
304
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.640
but just didn't sell it to you
because of Kenza, So like there's a
305
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.240
little bit of me that was like
conspiracy theorists. But yeah, I thought
306
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.200
the match was fine. It's just
when you have c him Punk on the
307
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.359
card, you just kind of hope
that it's a more high profile role in
308
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.640
this situation. You know, the
Kanta match would have been great. You
309
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.000
know, a Tonahashi, you know
Okada, They're obviously they're for somebody else.
310
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.440
But I mean most American fans do
they know who Kojima is? So
311
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.000
like does that really help anything?
So just bad timing and the Kanta thing
312
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.440
falling through kind of you know,
left a sour taste in some people's mouth.
313
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.359
Next match, here is Orange Cassie
defeating Katti Ori Shabada, Daniel Garcia,
314
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.799
and Zach Saber Junior in a four
way match to retain the aw International
315
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:40.039
Championship. We did not predict this
match. Great match. Really enjoy watching
316
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.000
all four of these guys wrestle,
good finish, with the Orange taking advantage
317
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.039
of Shabada's PK to get the pen. I would absolutely watch this match again.
318
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:48.440
These are some of my four favorites, Doctor Trey. Your thoughts,
319
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.440
Yeah, this was the first real
match that got me excited on the show.
320
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.160
Like everything else have been solid,
but this one was really fun,
321
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.319
really entertaining seeing Shabada in the ring, seeing and I love Zach say Regia.
322
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.720
I can watch Zach Sayer Junior wrestle
every single day. Just the technical
323
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.240
prow as, the skill he's got, and then the contrast with Orange cast
324
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.519
like this was just a really really
fun match. And then Daniel Garcia held
325
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.920
his own, you know in there
with you know a couple of legends in
326
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:22.039
Orange Cassidy. So that's that's a
really hard quartet to figure out style wise,
327
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.559
and they made it work seamlessly,
so I thought it was a really
328
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.960
fantastic match. Next match to Sonata
defeating Jungle Boy Jack Perry to retain the
329
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:34.119
i WGP World a Wide Championship.
We both had Sonata getting the victory solid
330
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.519
match. The moonsalt finish caught everyone
including me by surprise, and we finally
331
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.920
see Jack Perry turn heel as he
takes out hook post match. He's been
332
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.799
really leaning into the heel persona in
the last two weeks on Dynamite, which
333
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.079
has been fun and enjoyable to watch. Sonata retains Doctor Trey. Yeah,
334
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.960
this, by the way, I
love like leading into this. They both
335
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.440
played the whole I Don't Know who
You Are card, which I thought was
336
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.000
hilarious. But yeah, I really
enjoyed the match and then the heel turn.
337
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.440
I mean, I'm hoping for Hollywood
Jack Perry. I want to see
338
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.319
him grow, I want to see
him have a fake black Beard and everything.
339
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.839
I want him to just go full
nWo Hollywood Jack Perry. So just
340
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.359
drop Jungle Boy all together. We
don't have to hear that name ever again.
341
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.440
I'll be fine with that. The
Elite Hangman page Match Jackson, Nick
342
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.920
Jackson, Eddie Kingson and Tumo hiro
Ishi defeats The Blackpool Combat Club John Moxley,
343
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.839
Claudia Castinolian Wheeler, newt Utah Show
to Umino and Cano Skate to kesh
344
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.039
Go. We did not predict this
match really good in fun tan man tag
345
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.599
team match, I liked Eddie Kingston
being conflicted working with his own teammates and
346
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:38.119
also having to fight John Moxley your
thoughts as the elite Kingston and Tomohiro Ishie
347
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.319
you get the victory. I would
just exci see Kingson and Ishie on the
348
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.000
same team, Like those guys are
like just made for each other. Like
349
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.599
I can watch those guys team up
and fight. I'd be happy either way.
350
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.359
You know, before a ten man
tag to be solid and enjoyable and
351
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.960
then also have you know, like
some sub story in there as well.
352
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.839
Oh, like I thought it was. It was pretty good for being that
353
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:08.359
many guys in one single match,
because those are usually messes and chaos and
354
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:14.160
cluster f's whatever you want to call
it. This one was actually pretty solid
355
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.599
and told a good story. Tony
Storm defeats Willow Night and Gale to retain
356
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.319
the NW Women's World Championship. They
both went in this as women's champions,
357
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.000
Willow Night and Gale for New Japan
Strong. She has since dropped that championship
358
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.920
match was fine. I feel like
AW somewhat missing the boat by by not
359
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.720
pushing Willow Night and Gale Moore and
given her an opportunity to run as the
360
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.559
top baby face in the AW women's
division. She is super over and her
361
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.839
attitude is infectious. Tony Storm retains
Doctor Trey. Yeah, Willow nightingales just
362
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.039
a joy to be around, Like
if you ever get near her, I
363
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.559
mean, I mean it's one of
the things, like I've seen her in
364
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:55.680
the ring live in person. She's
infectious. So yeah, at some point
365
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.240
she's going to be the top baby
face in AW. I just you know,
366
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.680
you have to worry abou she's still
rather young and a little a little
367
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.039
brain when he comes in experience,
but you know, putting her in these
368
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.599
high profile matches, I mean,
in the last what months, she's got
369
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.720
to wrestle Tony Storm and Mercedes Monet. Not a lot of women get to
370
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.119
claim that, so her being features
great for them. And I thought it
371
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.519
was a good, good, solid
match and Willow's gallopeticitional world. But you
372
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.200
know, the outcasts are kind of
fun to watch as well, so I
373
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:30.920
thought it was a pretty solid,
good sequence match. Will Ospre defeats Kenny
374
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.039
Omega to win the IWGP United States
Championship with we both had will osbreak in
375
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.079
the victory. Phenomenal match. This
on the shortlist for Match of the Year
376
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.640
candidates by year end. In my
opinion, I loved how badly Osprey wanted
377
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.720
to beat Omega and it told a
great story. Amazing stuff from two favorites
378
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.359
of mine. This has been one
of the best Kenny Omega matches I have
379
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.839
seen since he returned from his injury. I love this matched Orey Osprey feeds
380
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:56.160
Omega. Yeah, I loved it. Also, the desperation in will Osprey,
381
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.759
like you can see it in the
ring, and that's something that he
382
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.920
doesn't get a lot of credit.
Four is a lot of guys will crap
383
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.640
on Osprey for being you know,
the spot monkey and the high fly or
384
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.599
whatever it is. When he's really
into a match, he can tell a
385
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.759
good story without actually having to say
a word, and Kenny's the same way,
386
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.119
so you can kind of tell like
there's this I don't know if it's
387
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.359
I don't know if there's any actual
heat between them, Like that's always been
388
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.119
the storyline that they don't really like
each other, but they respect the hell
389
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.720
of each other and they put together
a fantastic match. So kudos to both
390
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.759
those guys. Yeah, Osprey is
phenomenal. He's an amazing wrestler, and
391
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:40.039
hopefully he sticks around the United States
for whatever promotion sooner rather than later and
392
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.680
six round for a long time.
Next match is Sting Darby Allen to at
393
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:45.960
Sionido defeating Chris Jericho, Minaros is
Juki and Salmon Gerard. We did not
394
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.519
predict this match. The Jericho Minaros
is Zuki chemistry and dynamic is amazing and
395
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:55.960
it should be capitalized more. They
seem to really enjoy working with one another.
396
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.480
Overall, fun match happen to Seido
finally a paron aw This was fun.
397
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.400
Doctor Trey, Minara Szuki and Jericho, Man, they cracked me up.
398
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.799
I loved it. Not to mention
you had Sting in a match with
399
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:12.160
Minora Szuki, I mean, like
the legitimate to the I guess most badass
400
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:18.200
grandfathers around. I mean it's sting
sixty two. I mean, it's it's
401
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.680
crazy how well these guys work,
and I kind of want to see now,
402
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.880
I want to see Minora, Szuki, Chris Jericho and Sammy Gabar almost
403
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:30.519
played like father son grandfather type thing
or something like. Just the chemistry,
404
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.960
like you said, Sweening, Jericho
and Suzuki's so great. Um And it's
405
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:38.200
one of those things when you see
guys like Jericho or Suzuki having fun in
406
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.799
the ring, it's infectious as well. So it was. It was a
407
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.920
really fun little six man tag for
for all those guys involved, and it
408
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.039
just got it. I mean you, I mean, the age range in
409
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.839
that match, just all that alone
kind of blew me away. And then
410
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.799
finally the main event, Brian Danielson
defeats Kazko Okada I Kazko Cotta Doctor Trey
411
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:02.920
Head Brian Danielson slow methodical pace for
the early portion of the match that started
412
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.119
to pick up halfway through. Danielson
is one tough son of a bitch,
413
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:10.079
getting that final ten minutes out with
a broken forearm. The injury did take
414
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.000
away from the match unfortunately, but
still a good match. Probably didn't live
415
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:15.880
up to my expectations. Because of
that, but it was a hard follow
416
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.839
after osbring Omega. Hopefully we do
get another rematch soon. Brian Danielson,
417
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:26.799
DeVito Cotta, Doctor Trey. Yeah, this like this to me reminded me
418
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.680
of a Randy Orton match. Does
that make sense? Like you know it
419
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.519
does? That's spot on, absolutely
spot on. It's just that's where those
420
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.000
old school Randy ormagins starts off kind
of slow, kind of methodical. You
421
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:40.960
get a little bit of a little
bit of juice, and then it slows
422
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.799
back down then right back into the
jews going into the finish. So if
423
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.359
Brian Danielson nothing else, learned a
little thing or two from Randy or because
424
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.440
that's kind of how that match was
put together. The injury, like you
425
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.039
said, did take away from the
fish a little bit. But I mean,
426
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:56.640
dear God, you got to wrestle
the last ten menads of a broken
427
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.240
freaking arm. I mean, that's
that's pretty damn impressive. And to get
428
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:07.480
the submission victory over Okata and getting
Ocada to agree to tap out like Tony
429
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.799
Kahn and got some balls to get
Ocada to go along with that. So
430
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.720
I give them all the credit the
world for that matching and putting it all
431
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.319
together, piecing it through and making
it work in the end. People view
432
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.119
prediction record Doctor Trey went four and
oh, I went three and run.
433
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:22.640
Coming out of Forbidden Door, I
went fifty seven and twenty Doctor Trey is
434
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:29.160
fifty two and twenty five. Match
of the night and event rating. I
435
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.000
gave the event rating a four point
oh solid four point zero out of five,
436
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.799
and my match of the night was
will Osprain Kenny Omega. I was
437
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.279
at a three point eight and I
also had osprein Omega. I thought it
438
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.920
was a solid show, but once
again, like outside of Osprain Omega,
439
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.920
is there anything really all that memorable? So that's kind of where I was
440
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.960
at with that show. I do
want to make a note here real quick
441
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.240
before we get into money the bank. I don't think this is a good
442
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:59.960
thing for AW long term as they
continue this partnership with New Japan Pro wrest
443
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.519
saying, but just going off of
what you said, Doctor Trey, you
444
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.279
were surprised at Okada tapped out for
Danielson, um Tanahashi and Okada are considered
445
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:14.200
like the John Cena and Randy Orton
of New Japan Pro Wrestling, like they're
446
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.200
the top guys in that company.
There's seth Ron's Roman reigns, whoever you
447
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.519
want to say, like they're one
and two. Okada and Tanahashi don't win
448
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.359
in AW and that's I don't think
that's a good thing. So a lot
449
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:33.279
of AW victories again from this show, and I don't know why New Japan's
450
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.400
allowing that to happen. I know
Sonata defeated Jungle Boy, but just to
451
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.839
be totally honest, like nobody thought
Jack Perry was gonna win, and that
452
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.799
match was just to catapult him to
becoming the new you know, heel persona
453
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.319
that he is. So I don't
I don't like the booking and New Japan
454
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.799
stars in AW because if you're I
get if most AW fans probably know who
455
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:56.599
these wrestlers are, But if you're
a casual fan that does not know what
456
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.079
who New Japan is, you think
these guys are scrub because they're consistently taken
457
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:07.119
els from the AW guys. It
feels a little bit like the AW Impact
458
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.440
Partnership, you know, where it
was kind of like it felt really one
459
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.799
sided, and if you're New Japan, you're like you're hoping to get that
460
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:21.039
payback like you're hoping to get Okada
Danielson at you know, over at Tokyo.
461
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.400
Don't you know you're hoping to get
some payback on your side, I
462
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.039
guess, but you know from the
state side. Once again, the casual
463
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.640
fans doesn't know these guys. I
guess that's why eight of you looks at
464
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.079
like, hey, the casual fans
may not know who Okada is or Tanahashi
465
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.799
is, so if they lose,
it's not a big insult to the casual
466
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.079
fan, but the die hard people
like us are looking at going, yeah,
467
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.240
like, like we talked about before
the show, you're gonna have jungle
468
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.319
boy Jack Perry competing for you know, the richest prize in New Japan,
469
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:55.680
and he's maybe top fifteen in AW
maybe top he's not top five, he's
470
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.160
not top ten, describing that fifteen
to twenty range. And so it was
471
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:01.960
kind of one of those things where
are like, yeah, like nobody bought
472
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:07.079
in that Jack Perry could walk out
the IP Heavyweight champions, so him losing
473
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.119
isn't a big deal, and then
you spun it into something else anyway.
474
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:16.279
So really, any of the losses
that the ANW roster took were minimal at
475
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:21.759
best. But meanwhile, you know
your top two or three guys all lost.
476
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.839
So even like your legends, like
you know, Jabbata and Hujama,
477
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.039
like those guys all took els on
this show. How does that prop up
478
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:37.079
New Japan in their partnership. Strange? It is strange booking. I mean,
479
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.279
you got to give some of these
New Japan guys an aw championship at
480
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.799
some point here if you're gonna keep
doing Forbidden Door, in my opinion,
481
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.279
it's just strange. And now you're
hearing Moxley's eyes are set for Sonata and
482
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.279
IWGP World Heavyweight Title. So I
don't know how we're going to go from
483
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.319
there. I totally could see Moxley
win the championship. Let's switch over now
484
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:57.599
to a week little less than a
week later w Money in the Bank.
485
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.960
Previous recap and review. This past
Saturday came to us from the O two
486
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:06.920
Arena in London, England. Let's
get to the first match on the card
487
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.359
here. Damian Priest defeats Ricochet,
Shinsky, Nakamura, La Knight, Santos,
488
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.440
Eskuar Butch and Logan, Paul and
the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder
489
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:19.119
match to win a Men's Championship match
contract at a later date, we both
490
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.079
had Damian Priest to get in the
victory. I thought this was a great
491
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.000
Money in the Bank match. The
chances these guys take with some of the
492
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:29.680
spots are is absolutely insane, enjoyable
match, seeing rising stars get this opportunity.
493
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.519
I was very happy for Damian Priest's
you could feel his ascension coming Doctor
494
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.680
Trey. Damian Priest wins the Men's
Money in the Bank Ladder match. So
495
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.519
I don't know if I'm we predicted
it correctly, but I don't know how
496
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:49.240
happy I am about it because La
Knight is over in London, like like
497
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.079
there were spots that there were,
Butch's climbing the ladder. The crowd is
498
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:57.799
booing him for La Knight, So
it's you have to kind of wonder at
499
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:00.880
times, like they are they missing
out on lightning in a bottle. The
500
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.759
match itself was fantastically fun, like
I enjoyed it. Everybody got a chance
501
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:12.159
to shine, even like Santos Escobar, who's probably you know, casual fan,
502
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.840
maybe the lowest guy in that told
well he got some great spots overall,
503
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.199
one of the better money the bank
match we've had in a while,
504
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.119
especially for you know, seven guys
who have never held the world championship.
505
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.000
But he's making me wonder are they
Are they missing out on capitalizing on La
506
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.079
Night while he's hot. Yeah,
he's over in London, he's over and
507
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.360
spoke Ken, He's over in New
York, He's out over everywhere. I
508
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.519
agree with you, I think La
and I should have gotten the rub,
509
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:39.639
But I also feel like suburn storyline
sense, like you're seeing this ascension of
510
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:45.719
Damian Priests as well. La Knight
is getting the fan rub, but Damian
511
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.519
Priest is getting the proper creative rub. And I think creatively they made the
512
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.079
right call and hopefully they do capitalize
in La Night. I thought an La
513
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:55.639
Night Logan Paul match for Summer Sam
was going to be on the table,
514
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.880
but it appears they're gonna be going
with Logan Paul and Ricochet Summers Slam instead,
515
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:05.079
which from a social media visual standpoint, I guess that makes sense because
516
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.679
I'm sure there's gonna be some sort
of crazy spots that go viral. But
517
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.599
I don't know. I think Elian
I would have been the right choice.
518
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.119
Yeah, but Logan Paul, Ricochet
all trampoline match. Yeah, and they
519
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.559
just dunk basketballs and catch footballs as
well. Raquel Gonzalez and a Live Morgan
520
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.119
feat Ronda rousing Shana Basler to win
the w Women's Sack Team Championship. We
521
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:28.719
did not produce this match. Match
was fine. The build of Shana's shockingly
522
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.400
turning on Ronda was non existent,
but the shock of the moment was executed
523
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:35.480
really well because nobody saw it coming. It was a cool, surprising moment.
524
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.000
I guess the build to this was
supposed to happen over time, but
525
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.159
Ronda's injury threw things off from a
storyline standpoint, and it also Piercy is
526
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.079
probably on her way out again,
which is why they fast tracked this.
527
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:51.840
It looks like Shane and Ronda for
SummerSlam. I thought Ronda was potentially gonna
528
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:53.679
be a baby face, but Shana
was clearly a baby face on Monday's Raw,
529
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.000
So it looks like Ronda's time and
wis coming up again. I hate
530
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:00.519
to see it fast tracked, but
it was a cool moment on the last
531
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:06.800
Rackuel Gonzals and living more in our
two times Women's Acteam champions Now and maybe
532
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.079
like like recap of the match.
I thought the match was fine. It
533
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:14.639
is what it is. But you
know, the shock of Shana turning was
534
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.079
pretty cool. That caught me off
guard. I look at it in a
535
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:21.079
couple of ways, like we knew
they were gonna be NFBING Tag Team champions
536
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.239
at some point, and then at
some point they were gonna feud. It
537
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:29.039
gives the women's tag division an opportunity
to be half depth. I guess,
538
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:31.960
like everybody's on an even playing field, whereas if SHANEA and rond are just
539
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.599
running rough shot over the division,
you kind of lose that a little bit.
540
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.719
And now you can bring in Katana
and and and uh a ton of
541
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.559
Chance and Kayden Carter. You know, now you can bringing back you know
542
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:49.760
I La Donna and Alba Fire.
You can bring in some of the other
543
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.960
tags. Committee Yes, Um,
so it gives the tag team divisions of
544
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:59.320
death in the women's division. Um. And then Plus, I'm really excited
545
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:04.599
about Shane in a baby face because
like, we love just badass baby faces
546
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:08.199
that can tap people out, like
that's like no nonsense, nobs, just
547
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:12.840
kick ass baby faces. We kind
of love that this might be a really
548
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.679
good thing for Shana because we haven't
really seen her in this role in her
549
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.599
time in WWE. Yeah, it
looks like if this is maybe forever for
550
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.719
Ronda Rousey or a long extended period
of time, she wants to do the
551
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.119
honors to Shannon Baseler on the way
out because Shanner got her, literally got
552
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.800
her into professional wrestling, so it
would be nice. I've always been a
553
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.400
fan of Shannon Baselor. She was
one of the most dominant females in the
554
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.199
history of this show at one point
in the annext run, so I'm happy
555
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.320
that she's getting some rub here,
even as a baby face, something she's
556
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.119
never done in w as well.
Gunther defeats Matt Riddle to retain the w
557
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.119
W Intercuntinal Championship. We did not
predict this match. Dominant victor victory for
558
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.559
Gunther work on the injured ankle of
Riddle. It was great to see Drew
559
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.880
Mcatar back and sending in sights in
the Intercontinal Championship as he has a legit
560
00:37:55.000 --> 00:38:01.760
chance at ending Gunther's current historic rain
doctor Dre Gunther retained. Yeah, I
561
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.960
was expecting more out of this match. I don't know about you. I
562
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.000
just kind of thought with Riddle's background, and you know, he came back
563
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:12.360
kind of hot, was featured in
the Bloodline stuff for a little bit than
564
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.760
the Imperium stuff. When I got
to know this match, I was like,
565
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.280
man, are they kind of not
writing Riddle off but the elevating Riddle
566
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:24.559
because he basically got his ass kicked
and then Drew McIntyre came out and stole
567
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:29.360
his spotlight post match, and that's
pretty much it. So it's like,
568
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.199
all right, maybe we's he Matt
Riddle back in like the mid card area,
569
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.239
I guess for a little while.
So but you know, Drew and
570
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.760
Drew and Gunther, like, that's
gonna be a hell of a match.
571
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:43.000
I almost said, banger, I
don't want to steal from Shamus there,
572
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:47.159
but that'll be a really really solid
matchup. And it's just good as he
573
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.199
drew back, because that was something
we were all kind of worried about for
574
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.800
a little while, according to us, and not Triple Ah because he said
575
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:58.800
he thought that was funny that all
of us people thought that Drew might leave.
576
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:00.760
So but yeah, Acos, he
drew back and the crowd was hot
577
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.880
for it, and just he's one
of my favorite performers. Will see in
578
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:08.360
the ring right now. Yeah,
Drew Mcaty totally Alphredum Matt Riddle, So
579
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.320
I don't know. That was weird. Like I'm coming in for the intercardinal
580
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.360
title. Move out of the way. I know you're the number one contender,
581
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:16.039
and he's like, all right,
bro, let's go get some hamburgers.
582
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:22.079
Like that was that was so weird, that raw interaction which U when
583
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.039
you go back and if you watch
it, there's like one woman who says
584
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.440
take your top off, and Drew
Mcaty acknowledges it. He's like, I
585
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:30.800
could hear you ask me to take
my top off? I thought it was
586
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:35.760
a very funny moment. H Cody
Rhodes defeats Dominic Masterial. We both think
587
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.599
Cody Rhodes getting victory. Match feel
like the offense wasentywenty five and favorite of
588
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:44.320
Cody, which is how it should
be heading into another Lessner match at summerslamm
589
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.159
And just side note here, how
about dom Mysterio being promoted in a pay
590
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:50.960
per view triple main event match.
Never thought I would see the day of
591
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:54.320
that happening. So Cody defeats Dom
Yeah, and the match was exactly what
592
00:39:54.360 --> 00:40:00.280
I expected, Like you gotta you
have the smarmy, crappy lmy heel that
593
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.079
did a hide behind you know,
Ria Ripley. He shouldn't get that much
594
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.519
offense. He should you know,
occasionally get it the match in peril,
595
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:10.920
you know, create that obstacle for
Cody. But in the end, like
596
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:15.239
the whole idea is that Cody's gotta
looked pretty strong heading into the SummerSlam.
597
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:20.679
So um, I just thought was
also cool seeing we got a Roods Mysterio
598
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.960
matchup and it wasn't Ray or Dusty
or dust In, so like that's pretty
599
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:27.880
cool to me as well. So
um, yeah it was. It was
600
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.639
a fine little match there, and
I still love that dom is so hey,
601
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.559
I still want Dominic to steal the
money in the bank briefcase and try
602
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:38.360
cash in. That's what that's my
goal. Next match here is EO Sky
603
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:42.960
Defeedians Lina Vega, Becky Lynch.
So he started Bailey and Tris Stratus and
604
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:46.000
the women's Money in the Bank ladder
match to win a Women's co Championship match
605
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:50.159
contract at a later date. We
both at EO Sky getting the victory.
606
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.000
Another great money in the bank match
I really like to finish for EO Sky
607
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.800
handcuff Becky Lynch and Bailey to one
another through the ladder. I thought that
608
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.280
was a very creative finish and I
enjoyed this match as EO Sky wins money
609
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.719
in the bank. Woy. So
didn't we see the handcuff thing a couple
610
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.440
of years ago? You're thinking of
Sammy Zane the triple threat Interconnal Champion match
611
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:15.880
with with Jeff Hardy. Yes,
so that's it's but I don't remember both
612
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:19.639
opponents being handcuffed to one another,
like where they can't climb up the ladder.
613
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.760
I thought that was more like they
went through his ear, remember that?
614
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:29.639
Like that that was and that was
an awesome match. Yeah, So,
615
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:30.679
I mean I thought it was kind
of cool, and I like,
616
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:35.280
my only issue was that eos are
laughing about it, and I'm like no,
617
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.840
no, no, like be desperate
to win the title like she kind
618
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.679
of lingered that. That's my only
knock on EO is that sometimes she lingers
619
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.440
too much, like you're a heel
and you're playing to the crowd or your
620
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.320
heel and you're you know, getting
in them to cheer for you. Is
621
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.280
like she forgets that she's the bad
girl sometimes. But I think in this
622
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:57.000
role now, especially with Bailey and
knocking her off the ladder, you know,
623
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.320
that kind of puts EO in a
different spot. So I don't know
624
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.239
about you. I'm really excited for
EO and Oscar when that match comes around,
625
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.960
because that's like a triple aged dream
match right there, as those two
626
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.519
girls going at it. So he
tried to make it happen with Kyrie and
627
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.280
Osca, and now we're gonna get
EO and Oscar. So I'm really excited
628
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.880
to see what those ladies can do
when they finally cross pass. Next matches,
629
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.880
Seth Freakin Rolls defeating Finn Baaler to
retain the w Ordwade Championship. We
630
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.639
both had Seth Freakin Rolls at the
victory. Good match Surprising finished with Damien
631
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:30.039
pretty slight distracting causing Finn Balor Or
the match. We saw that carry over
632
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.840
on Monday's Raw that closed there with
Seth Rollins taking on Dirty Dom Mysterio.
633
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.480
Damien was on the verge of cashing
in and Finn Balor came out cause it
634
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:44.800
distraction stopped the cash in. They
started bickering with one another earlier in the
635
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:49.039
night Judgment Day was saying like a
great moment with Dom like with with Ree
636
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.679
Ripley's like Finn's not here tonight and
you hear Tom say you spoke to Finn
637
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.760
today and she was like stop it, stop it. So you're seeing some
638
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.760
of the cracks with the Judgment Day, which is a shame because the Judgment
639
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:04.280
Day has been so entertaining and fun
to watch on TV, which then it
640
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.639
reaches the point where it's like we
got to start causing tension between everybody internally
641
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:12.000
in the group and potentially break them
up soon right when they're reaching their height.
642
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.639
Hopefully that doesn't happen. But Seth
freaking Ronins defeats Finn Bowder to retain
643
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.719
Doctor Trey. Yeah. I really
enjoyed the match. I thought there's a
644
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.119
good storytelling in there. The finish
I thought was really well done as well,
645
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.360
like Damien just standing up like if
hert cash in, Like, I
646
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:27.719
thought that was really like we've got
that was to me it was kind of
647
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:30.320
original. We haven't really seen that
before as well. So overall I just
648
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.079
really enjoyed that match and all the
different layers going into it and the layers
649
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.400
coming out of it. And then
finally the main event, the USO's defeat
650
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.800
the Bloodline Roman Rains and Solskoya and
the Bloodline Civil War tag team match.
651
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:45.719
We both had the Bloodline getting the
victories, so we got that one wrong.
652
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.840
Great match with awesome storytelling, and
the finish with Jayuso getting the pin
653
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.199
on Roman Rains was shocking and it
makes so much sense for the story.
654
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.159
So Roman Rains gets pinned for the
first time since December twenty nineteen, which
655
00:43:57.239 --> 00:43:59.719
was at the hands of Baron Corbyn, which is shocking. And think about
656
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.039
we are in twenty twenty three where
Baron Corban is losing on an NXT television.
657
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:07.440
It looks like Roman Rains versus jay
Uso is going to be a rumored
658
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:12.840
match for SummerSlam. I said have
been saying recently that I felt like jay
659
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.119
Uso was the most compelling wrestler in
all of professional wrestling today, So it
660
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:20.000
made so much sense. This is
a great match, Doctor Tres Usos get
661
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.960
the victory. No, this was
this was a really really fun, entertaining,
662
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:30.239
just great professional wrestling match. He
had the storytelling, the injurygue brother
663
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.400
against brother, Cousins against Cousin,
like all the different layers you wanted to
664
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:38.599
match arguably maybe the one of the
greatest tag teams of all time than the
665
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:45.159
most dominant champion of recent memory.
Like, look that Samoan Spike spear spot
666
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.400
was just awesome and I was like, there's no way like Jay Usso basically
667
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.000
kicked out of both their finishers hitting
him at one time. Like that's pretty
668
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:58.800
compelling as well. So this great
match shows the heart and the toughest of
669
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.559
the USOS, the depth that you
know, Roman will sink to all that
670
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:07.000
stuff. Roman on the apron telling
Paul Hayman how much England sucks? Like
671
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.280
that was great, Like it was
just like it literally had a little bit
672
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:15.320
of everything. Is so just a
fantastic professional wrestling match. Yeah, so
673
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:19.639
much fun, great stuff all around. And then pay per view predictions.
674
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.320
We both went four and one coming
out of Money the Bank, So I'm
675
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:23.719
sixty one and twenty one in the
year. Dutch Tray is fifty six and
676
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:30.079
twenty six. Dutch Tray has been
on fire lately with predictions event rating Match
677
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:31.920
of the night. I gave money
to the Bank at three point nine and
678
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:36.679
my match of the night was the
USOS and the Bloodline. See I had
679
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:38.320
a four point zero, so I
had USO's in the bloodline also is my
680
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:43.000
match of the night. It's so
funny. I had a Forben Indoor higher
681
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.920
ranked and Money the Bank slightly below. You had Money in the Bank higher
682
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:49.920
ranked and Forben indoors slightly below.
But we both had the same match of
683
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.719
the night, which is funny.
Yeah, there you go. We I
684
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.519
mean, sometimes we're gonna say way
blink, but like you know, different
685
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:59.000
tastes a little bit on certain things, but for the most part we're pretty
686
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:00.239
on the same French ones. Look, you and I have been married a
687
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:05.760
lot longer than we've been to the
different strokes for different folks, right doctor,
688
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.440
try that's what they say? Now, someone to the eighties theme song.
689
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:12.639
M all right. So a couple
of things there are housekeeping before we
690
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.960
wrap up this week's Editions show.
Let's start with Twitter first. So put
691
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:22.920
out a post on Facebook and Twitter
on Wednesday, so, which I'm sure
692
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:28.079
everybody knows. Elon Musk, the
owner of Twitter um is limiting tweets now.
693
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:31.320
I think I think normal people,
unless you pay one hundred bucks a
694
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:36.480
year, can see a thousand tweets
aday. In my personal life, I
695
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:42.119
wasn't using Twitter all that much.
And with this same pain service, tweet
696
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:47.159
Deck, which is a program that
we use to schedule tweets on SRTU podcast
697
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:52.199
on Twitter and Russell Chattanette on Twitter, is now going to be something you
698
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:57.599
have to pay for a month from
now, so instead of like sticking with
699
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.920
tweet Deck, which they just change
the whole way that program has ran.
700
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:05.559
And it's shittier now of course that
it was a week ago. I don't
701
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.800
know why they changed it. You're
not going to see schedule tweets anymore.
702
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:14.280
You're not going to see us tweeting
promoting the show as much as we used
703
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.440
to, which is unfortunate, but
I think it's kind of with the times.
704
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.800
I think a lot of people are
starting to get off Twitter. I
705
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.800
don't use a personal Twitter account.
I don't know if you do, Doctor
706
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.800
Trey. I tend to use it
more to like read news and not tweet
707
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:31.119
anymore because it's such a cesspool of
bs. So we'll still tweet when the
708
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.280
show is up and available for download, but you just won't see it up
709
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:39.159
as frequently anymore as we used to. And I guess, just to discuss
710
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:45.400
as well, threads, which I
guess is Facebook's version of Twitter. We
711
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.519
have not opened an account yet.
I don't know if we will, to
712
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.320
be honest with you, because I
don't know. Doctor Trey and I are
713
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.119
old on social media, So just
keep it locked on Facebook, dot com,
714
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:59.280
slash sto, REALTI show at SRTU
podcast still and of course subscribe to
715
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.480
us on iTunes. That helps us
out. So that's a Twitter update,
716
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:04.880
doctree. I never thought I would
have to address Elon Musk, but here
717
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:07.920
we are on srt U. I
mean, I only thought that if we
718
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:12.039
ever got big time and we got
to go on on the Shuttle mission,
719
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:16.360
that we could do like SRTU from
Space. That the only reason I thought
720
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:21.639
we'd ever have to address Elon Musk
on our show. And apparently, um,
721
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:24.000
like I, like you said,
I don't really tweet that much.
722
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:29.760
Sammy doesn't like tweeting all that much. If no, we're talking ce Samy's
723
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:32.400
trying to hijack the show right now. Um, but yeah, we don't
724
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:38.079
tweet that often. So like,
I'm much more of a Facebook and Instagram
725
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:44.159
and that user. I guess.
Yeah, So, um, we don't,
726
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.559
I mean I don't. We don't
have an SRTU TikTok page so here
727
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.880
you go. No, we're too
old for that shit. I'm not dancing,
728
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.880
Treys not dancing. So um so
there's one house. Keep united in
729
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:59.239
the second one next week's show seven
hundredth episode, seven hundred straight weeks of
730
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:04.039
SRTU, and on next week's editions
show, Doctor Trey and I both individually
731
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:08.280
will give you our top five wrestler's
list from the SRTU era. So from
732
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:13.159
twenty and ten to present, Doctor
Trey and I will bring you our top
733
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:16.039
five wrestlers of all time in the
history of SRTU. So that is on
734
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:20.760
next week's edition of SRTU. With
that said, let's get a couple of

and of course still fad to follow

741
00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:42.679
that being said, was going on
in the Wonderful World of Ductor Trey Franklin
742
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.039
and Sammy Franklin. This week,
my friend, well like Sammy, doesn't
743
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.639
have a Twitter account yet but we're
working on it, but he might be
744
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.159
the first person of our group to
get on threads or whatever that thing is
745
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:54.719
called. So but you can follow
me on Twitter at doctor Trey. You
746
00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:59.880
can find me on Facebook and Instagram
Doctor Trey Franklin. When you're on Facebook,
747
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.280
I got rockets CID Wrestling. He's
had a really big show on July
748
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:07.719
first. Next show's coming up July
fifteenth. Starting August fifth, we will
749
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.760
be on Fight TV as well,
so some big news from that. Also,
750
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:17.119
if if you ever check out the
Conrad Thompson add free podcast up,
751
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:21.320
you will see rocket City on there. They use our building a couple of
752
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:27.400
weeks ago to host their ad free
weekend. So Rocket City's own Tiger Kid
753
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:35.039
actually won the first ever ad free
show championship that was picked by the fans
754
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:39.400
of all all CONRADS podcasts. So
Rocket City featured very, very prominently on
755
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:45.159
the Conrad Thompson podcasting network that we
are not on, but by God,
756
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:49.679
we probably should get something for us. It'd be nice that would be nice.
757
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.639
Conrad help but help us out so
that we can stay on Twitter.
758
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.920
I guess all right. So with
that being said, until next week for
759
00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:01.800
the seven hundredth episode of SRTU,
we close out the six hundred chapter of
760
00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:06.039
s r T until next week for
not Stray Franklin, For Sammy Franklin.
