5
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.079
I am Jeff back joined every single
week in my coast, I only

6
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.920
got you Cray Franklin, Doctor Trey. While it may be NXT, it's

7
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.759
still really cool to say Great American
Brash preview predictions my friend. Oh no,

8
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.240
absolutely, And being somebody of my
age growing up on you know,

9
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.479
the n w A and WCW and
the Great American Bash and you know that's

10
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.399
where war Games came in and all
those things like this to me is like,

11
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.399
oh whatever, the Great American Bash
roll around. To me, that

12
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.920
was like, okay, it's summer
and if you haven't been outside, it's

13
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.079
summer. Oh yeah, why do
you think of all the WCW names for

14
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.680
pay per views, like the only
ones that have made it has been Great

15
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.040
American Bash. They've done that time
and time again. They've done Clash of

16
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:26.280
Champions a couple of times. They
did a starcade I think once or twice.

17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.680
Think one time it may have been
televised on ww network when they used

18
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.599
to do like exclusive live events,
and then the other time it wasn't.

19
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.599
Why do you think Great American Bash
is the one that stood out? Because

20
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.120
I always felt like, if you're
going to do any type of w CW

21
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.799
esque pay per view, I would
have figured starcade. Yeah, but I

22
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.359
think the problem with Starcade is the
fact that that was the answer to WrestleMania,

23
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.920
you know, back in the day
that was you know, WCW,

24
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.159
Ted Turner. That's kind of what
I think. That's kind of why they

25
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.439
left alone where you know, the
Great American Bash, Clash of Champions,

26
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.599
Halloween Havoc, those were kind of
yeah, I will say ancillary shows,

27
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.840
but they weren't on the level what
Stark was supposed to be. So um,

28
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.560
you know, I'm still waiting for
like an NWBO sold out show to

29
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.360
come back, you know, Uh, try to think it's the other one

30
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.639
where something I can't remember something the
Beach Slamboree, well, bashing the Beach

31
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.919
got taken by aw no, no, no, it's back Cody had Cody

32
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.319
Haddy owns it. Cody owns it, and then I think to trade off

33
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:37.319
the Cody Road's name coming back.
They got Bashed the Beach back. Remember

34
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.960
w W E let like a bunch
of trademarks go. Cody like took them

35
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.240
all. I think maybe him and
Conrad did, and I know they aw

36
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.120
did Bashed the Beach and then I'm
pretty sure that the way that Cody got

37
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.960
the Road's last name back was by
giving a lot of the w trademark pay

38
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.199
per view names that he took and
given them back to w W. A.

39
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:00.319
All right, well that's seems like
a fair trade, especially now that

40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.879
Cody's in WWE, so he basically
gets to be a part of the stuff

41
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.360
that he gave away. Anyway,
But you know, I mean, and

42
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.000
honestly, some of those names,
like a slam Marie like that just sounds

43
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.199
dated anyway. But you know,
Great American Bash sounds fun, Halloween Havoc

44
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.159
sounds fun. You know, Clash
of the Champions sounds fun, Starkade sounds

45
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.599
cool. But once again, I
just think it's one of those we don't

46
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.319
want to bring something back that was
seen as the rival to wrestle media.

47
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
guess it's always it's always cool to say,

48
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.680
like Great American Bash. The old
schooled fans and us certainly love it.

49
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.439
But um yeah, Well, we'll
preview and predict the Great American Bash

50
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.400
towards the end of this week's edition
of SRTU, so stay tuned for that.

51
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.280
First thing I want to start with, Doctor Trade talked about war Games

52
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:51.400
and a sibling. A copycat of
War Games is Blood and Guts from AW,

53
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.919
which aired this past Wednesday. The
Blood and Guts match basically was the

54
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.759
entire second half of AW Dynamite this
past Wednesday or depend when you listen to

55
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:05.159
this, I guess two wednesdays ago. I thought the match for ninety percent

56
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.319
of the time was great. I
really enjoyed the match. I thought it

57
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.560
was a lot of fun, job
well done by everybody. These you know,

58
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.960
these guys when they put their bodies
on them like that, like ton

59
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.480
of respect for that. But there
was one major thing that I have a

60
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.720
buggaboo over, Doctor Try and I
have a buggaboo over this for a lot

61
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.480
of things that AW does when it
comes to their production. So the match

62
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.480
ends with I believe either one of
the Jackson's and Hangman page had the chain

63
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.959
around Wheeler ut his neck and they're
choking him out and the match gets called

64
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.959
like, okay, did Wheeler pass
out? Did the ref make the decision?

65
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.639
Did he tap out? You know? The Golden Lead is celebrating the

66
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:51.920
victory in about two minutes after the
match was called Tony Shiavanni Tazz Excalibur.

67
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.800
They're all on commentary making a point
that the way that the match ended was

68
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.319
that John Moxley surrendered. So John
Moxley is in between both rings, he

69
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.800
is handcuffed to one of the turnbuckles. He can't move, he's bloody,

70
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:14.519
he's beaten up, and he's watching
Wheeler Utah get choked out and he surrenders

71
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:21.160
to save Wheeler Utah. Okay,
the problem here is that aw never showed

72
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.399
that happening. The commentators didn't know
it, the production team didn't know it,

73
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.279
and we miss a excuse the pun
golden opportunity for the most impactful part

74
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:40.560
of the match to air on television. I'm thinking, before we get your

75
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.560
thoughts on this, another thing,
I'm thinking, well, they probably got

76
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.319
footage that they could replay. No
replay on Dynamite, no replay on Rampage,

77
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:55.680
no replay on collision. They never
got footage of John Moxley surrendering to

78
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.439
cost his team the match and to
give up and give the VIC to the

79
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.240
Golden League. I loved this match
for ninety five percent of the time,

80
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.600
but you cannot miss that moment.
From a production standpoint, What the hell

81
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.800
gives you a doctor? Trey so
um Aw's been on the air now for

82
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:21.399
what three years now, three almost
four years. Yeah, they emulate a

83
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:27.439
lot of WCW, but they also
be laid a lout of W and Wwe

84
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.680
would not miss that shot. I
mean they may miss it live, but

85
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:38.560
some cameraman is hitting his mark.
For them to have such a big match

86
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.519
that's been hyped up for you know, weeks in I mean borderline months to

87
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.360
build to this with you know,
Coda Abushi, you know, making his

88
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:54.879
debut and Pock returning to the company
after being away for months, and to

89
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.199
have this match be as good as
it was, it was really in entertaining

90
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.199
match, Like you said, those
guys like I mean literally like they spilled

91
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:11.079
blood for the entertain these fans.
To miss that shot is just catastrophic because

92
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.040
like that's the whole point of the
match is to get to that finish.

93
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.040
You know, That's one thing that
I've learned in wrestling over years, over

94
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.800
that my years in it is that
people remember entrances, and they remember finishes,

95
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.680
and they remember emotion. That's it. The moves in the middle don't

96
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.319
even matter for the most part.
Like I've said before, Sean Michael's Brett

97
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.959
Hart. You know, wrestle banias
one my Ironman match, one of my

98
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.399
favorite matches all time. I remember
the entrances, I remember the finish.

99
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.959
I couldn't tell you really what happened
in the middle. Just remember how I

100
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:49.160
felt the same thing here. Moxley
surrendering is a big moment. And how

101
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:56.399
do you have multiple cameraman around the
ring with headphones on, with producers in

102
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.279
the back, and nobody says,
hey, somebody hit a camera on Moxe.

103
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.399
That's just like Bush League that that's
what happens at independent shows and to

104
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.720
have it happen on a naturally televised, well funded show is just terrible.

105
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.519
It's just misses the point completely.
I mean, that's that's what TNA did

106
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.800
back in the Hogan Bishop area.
I mean, that's where we're at right

107
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.920
now. That's what WCW did the
last year they were in business. Is

108
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.519
missed the important shots, especially when
you have a build to this match and

109
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.039
the match itself was really great and
then you just blow the finish completely.

110
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.080
I mean, I don't know it's
worse than this, this this one or

111
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.799
Moxley Omega exploding ring batch when it
comes to finishes. For AW, that

112
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.840
was pretty bad. This is more
from a production standpoint, I feel like

113
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.080
and this I feel like this happens
often. I'm a fan of AW.

114
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.279
I really enjoy the program, especially
lately. Creative has been on high.

115
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.799
We've talked about this last couple of
weeks are on the podcast, and like

116
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.320
I said, if anybody's like,
oh man, they're just bashing AW,

117
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.559
hear me out on that match.
I love the final five percent, Like

118
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.200
is this portion and it was just
a completely missed opportunity by AW. I

119
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.600
felt like the production team let there
was some sort of communication breakdown. Somebody

120
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:16.480
let somebody down so that the viewers
at home could not see that moment and

121
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.399
then nothing is captured on replay.
That was like, okay, well,

122
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.399
you know, say face here we
missed it on a live show, but

123
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.360
here it is in replay on Rampage
later that you know, the replaced stuff

124
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.639
with Dynamite, and then on Collision
that you could play on forever. I

125
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.919
mean, John Moxley, the way
that he has been built up in AW

126
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.000
is one of the toughest sons of
bitches you'll ever meet. In real life.

127
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.519
He is one of the toughest s
obs you'll ever meet. And for

128
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:45.039
him to surrender because he couldn't take
Wheeler you to you know, being he

129
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.399
wasn't going to tap out, he
was going to be choked out is like

130
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.919
a very talent emotional moment in the
match. And not only that, who

131
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.759
knows if that was supposed to play
into anything now coming out of this feud

132
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.759
with the Golden Elite that was going
to take a take aim on AW television

133
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.120
each week, and as doctors trying
to record this AW Dynamite to Erring right

134
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.759
now, it's very well possible that
maybe that carries itself over on Dynamite tonight

135
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:15.639
as we record the pod. Nonetheless, this happens very often on AW programming

136
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:22.360
where there's a moment in a match
that you miss because they are, you

137
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.080
know, watching somebody do another flip
over the top rope or something like,

138
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.080
I just feel like whenever there's a
match going on, they're missing something and

139
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.200
it has caused problems. And I
don't understand the production element side of professional

140
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.879
wrestling as a wrestling fan. I
sit down, I'm the viewer. I

141
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.919
watch. I need to see the
most necessary points play out on my television

142
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.720
because that's how I get the emotional
investment in the product. I know the

143
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.399
physicality and athleticism that I'm seeing in
the ring is fantastic, that's great,

144
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.120
but I need to see the moment, especially the most crucial moment of the

145
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.919
match, as to why the match
ended. So I was reading some sort

146
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.360
of article this week, and come
to find out, I think it was

147
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.039
I was reading the article about Orange
Cassidy, or maybe it was the Cody

148
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.960
Road stuff, because so Cody was
talking about like the last thing he did

149
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.840
for AW as producing match that Ruby
Soho was in, and I think maybe

150
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.080
Orange Cassidy, who is now working
doing some producing stuff behind the scenes for

151
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.799
AW. There was some talk about
this as well. So the producer is

152
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.519
the one responsible that they talked to
the wrestlers. They map out the match,

153
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.799
they lay out the most important points, and then they go back to

154
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.960
production and they say, hey,
these are gonna be the most important points.

155
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.320
This is how it's going to carry
itself over, and that is where

156
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.159
the production team is then supposed to, you know, make sure that they're

157
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.679
watching. You know, Matt Jackson
dumped the thumb tacks from the top of

158
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.279
the cage onto you know, the
second ring in the Blood and Guts match.

159
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.000
I don't know what have you.
So somewhere there was a communication breakdown,

160
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.320
whether it was the producers involved in
the match or the production team itself,

161
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.759
somebody missed a very crucial spot and
it just blew my mind. At

162
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.960
the end of Dynamite, I mean, I was like, man, this

163
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.559
is a great match, cool finished, cool ending. Chivanni, ex Caliber,

164
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.320
Tazz are all chiming in that the
reason why the Golden Elite one was

165
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.960
because John Moxley surrendered. I'm looking
for a replay. It doesn't happen a

166
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.639
downe of my clothes out you miss
it? Nothing on YouTube again, nothing

167
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.480
on rampage and Collissen and I just
pulled my hair out, like how do

168
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.919
you miss this as a major wrestling
promotion in the United States? So I

169
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.960
don't know, Doctor Trey. It
just left a very bad taste in my

170
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.759
mouth, and it's something that AW
needs to clean up because, as you

171
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.039
stated, you know, this is
a four year old company. They've been

172
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.799
on television now in the United States
for forty years this October. They got

173
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.279
to clean this shit up because by
not doing it, I mean, what

174
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.799
an ample opportunity that was missed.
And I'm disappointed as a wrestling fan because

175
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.000
I wanted to see that visual like
why did Moxley do it? What did

176
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.200
you know? What was the emotion
on his what led to him doing that?

177
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:07.039
The fact that AW production whoever missed
this, it just really left a

178
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.600
bad taste in my mouth for a
really fun match last Wednesday on Dynamite.

179
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.759
Yeah, the really frustrating part of
it is that that sequence was not quick

180
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.960
like it was a drawn out process, like you know, they got the

181
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.799
chain around around you to they're choking
him out. This wasn't like the chain

182
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.879
went around his neck and then all
of a sudden Moxley surrendered. There was

183
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.480
time in there, and somebody in
production like dropped the ball, because that

184
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.120
should be the queue to put a
camera on Moxley, Like, you know,

185
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:46.240
I understand the announcers not knowing what
happened because I know from my experience

186
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.360
doing commentary over the years that typically
we don't know the finish. They just

187
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:56.039
want a real life reaction from the
announced team. So I get it why

188
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.240
they you know, to try.
You know, they had to cover it

189
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.279
up at the end, but I
mean, to have multiple cameras around the

190
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.360
ring and nobody say, oh,
guys, here's the finish, somebody get

191
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:15.600
a camera on Moxley like it is
just like it's it's bush league. I

192
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.559
mean, I don't know how else
to put it, because you know,

193
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.840
it's like this is a big thing
because I don't know about you. Moxley.

194
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.240
Surrendering to me is a baby face
move, Like baby faces are the

195
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.440
ones that surrender your edge surrenders,
yell that I quit to save his wife.

196
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.080
It's a baby face thing to do
when you surrender to save your partner.

197
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.480
So this is something that there's a
storyline that should be coming out of

198
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.360
this, and to miss that shot
almost blows that angle completely, Like,

199
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.399
yeah, are we going to see
on Dynamite you to come out and be

200
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.919
mad at Moxley for surrendering? You
know, is Brian Daniels is gonna be

201
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.960
mad? Is somebody is Claudia is
is somebody gonna be mad at mocks?

202
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.919
You know, does that kick make
Mocks get kicked out out of you know,

203
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.320
Blackpool Combat or whatever. Like,
there's a lot of storylines you can

204
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:09.639
play office, and to miss that
shot is just reg I could understand it.

205
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.159
Like we've seen fishing before, where
also the camera missed a superkike or

206
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.159
missed something suddenly missed an arc you
know, just barely cut an r KO.

207
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.759
But to have something that played out
roughly for about thirty seconds, to

208
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.200
miss that is just that stuff that
you see in like the lower level independent

209
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.159
leagues. So there's also two elements
the report they came out on Wednesday night.

210
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.320
Two two major parts that were missed
by the Blood and Guts match,

211
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.120
And it was just from a timing
standpoint, So there's supposed to be a

212
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.039
big spot with Hangman page that was
cut, and then at the end of

213
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.759
the match there's supposed to be like
five minutes left over, I think,

214
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.840
and they wanted to close out Dynamite
with the Blackpool Combat Club and the Golden

215
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.840
Lead shaking hands. That moment ended
up taking place, but off air again,

216
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.440
Doctor Treynor are recording this while Dynamite
is literally on the air right now,

217
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.720
so I have no clue if they
ended up airing that. I did

218
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.399
not see anything again on social media
or YouTube that I could recall. So

219
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:11.840
again, so timing issues now with
a match, major moment with Hangman Page

220
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.480
that was supposed to take place,
cut, the handshake to end the feud

221
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:22.879
was cut, and then of course
John Moxley surrendering. It's just not it's

222
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.200
just these these things about AW still
Doctor Trey that are a little bit wet

223
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.399
behind the ears still, and these
things need to be worked out the more

224
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.600
that they grow. And I think
it's to the point where you know,

225
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.039
there's frustration here in the voice of
Doctor Trey and I where maybe it's gone

226
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.919
on too much. I mean,
you're a four year old company, you

227
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.320
know, back in May, four
years on US television this October, Like,

228
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.360
you got to clean this shit up
if you want to really go toe

229
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.279
to toe with w right now,
because you're missing times. So some more

230
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.279
stuff coming out of blood and guts
the match itself again ninety five percent of

231
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.200
the match. I really enjoyed,
very fun episode of AW Dynamite, but

232
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.559
those final five minutes the Moxley surrendered. It's like, are you kidding me?

233
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.279
I did not want to have one
problem in the match, but I

234
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.200
did and had nothing to do with
the actual athleticism. And then way that

235
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.279
the match went on, it was
everything to do with production and how the

236
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.920
hell did that happened? Because it
shouldn't happen. So aw, blood and

237
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.440
guts nonetheless, fun match. Moxley
surrendering, How the hell did we miss

238
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.440
that? Switching gears to W right
now, Doctor Trey. One of my

239
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:33.920
favorite things on television right now is
the Judgment Day Finn Balor, Damian Priests,

240
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.559
Rea Ripley, Dirty Dome Masterio.
They are at a all time high

241
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.720
as a stable. They are confident. It is playing out on television that

242
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.240
they are confident. They are over
with the fan base. Whether you're getting

243
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:51.640
cheered or booed, they are riding
a high right now. And just like

244
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.799
every time a stable is riding high, it certainly feels like that W creative

245
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.759
maybe coming for them to do a
cut and now let's to get ahead of

246
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.440
this. Is it time to break
it up? I feel like we had

247
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.039
this discussion recently, so let's have
it again because we're heading into SummerSlam.

248
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:12.160
We preview predicted on next week's show, Finn looks poised to go over for

249
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:18.440
the world title at SummerSlam, or
Damien Priests may cash in. Right.

250
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.759
Could we live in a world where
Finn defeats Seth Rollins Avenges at SummerSlam loss

251
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.880
from the very first Universal Championship match, only for Damian Priest to come out

252
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.039
cash in on him and he becomes
champion and Finn holds a title for a

253
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.079
very small amount of time, as
was alluded to by Seth Roninds during his

254
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.880
promo recently. A couple of weeks
ago, almost a month ago, we

255
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.319
saw Finn Balor talking to j D
mcdonah when there was cracks in the Judgment

256
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.960
day between he and Damien Priest.
We have not seen j D mcdonneh since.

257
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:53.400
JD mcdonneh has been someone who has
had Finn Balor's a mentor. So

258
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:59.160
is JD mcdonnah hurt or is he
looming? Ria Ripley's blowing up, She's

259
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.920
getting baby reactions. Domisterio is coming
into his own and he's breaking out.

260
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.960
Even though he's getting very heel reactions. You could tell the fans are loving

261
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.359
him. We were wrong about breaking
up the Shield when WWW we decided to

262
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:18.000
we love the Judgment Day. The
riding high right now is now heading into

263
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.279
SummerSlam in the next week or two
or the next month. Is now the

264
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:27.440
time to break up the Judgment Day? No, I think you need to

265
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.799
kind of ride a hot streak.
We saw with the Bloodline. It took

266
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.960
him three years to kind of break
up the Bloodline. I think the difference

267
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.079
between the Judgment Day and the Shield
was I think WW looked at every single

268
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:47.599
member of the Shield as at least
a main event or upper mid card,

269
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.440
borderline main event guy. I know. The crazy thing is, as we

270
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.799
say here now, like Seth was
the guy that you know, it seemed

271
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.599
like w W had had questions about
could he be a main event guy?

272
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:03.920
But I just think we look at
on paper, does Triple H and to

273
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:10.480
a degree Events believe that all three, all four members are made of vent

274
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:15.359
people like I Obviously Rhea is a
main event player, but do you see

275
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.480
Finn, do you see Damian Priest? And do you see Dom being made

276
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:26.720
of vent guys? You might move
one out and bring somebody else in,

277
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:32.599
but the whole purpose of a stale
is to help baby faces get over and

278
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.039
establish top level guys coming out of
it, and I just don't know.

279
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.039
If I don't know about you,
I just as much as I love Finn

280
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.160
Valor, just because of how badly
he had been booked for so long,

281
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:51.279
I still don't see him as the
top guy on a brand. And Damian

282
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.720
Priests, I think is getting close, but I don't think he's there yet.

283
00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:00.480
And it may take them moving Damian
Priests out or moving Finn out for

284
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.960
somebody to ascend up. But on
paper, right now, I just I

285
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.880
look at three guys and I'm like, I just don't think one of those

286
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.160
guys is ready to kind of break
out on his own and assume the top

287
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.480
spot on Raw. All right,
great points there, So if we're not

288
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:22.079
breaking them up now, what is
the compelling storyline right now? Because this,

289
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:27.799
to me, judgment day stuff has
like this is beginning of year one

290
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:33.920
of Bloodline right The way that the
Bloodline has taken over professional wrestling with their

291
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.720
storyline has been some of the best
step stuff that we've seen in a very

292
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.240
very, very long time. And
I feel like w we could have the

293
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.759
same luck when it comes to the
Judgment Day. So what do you do

294
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.880
with them now, right like coming
out of SummerSlam, we'll pre even predicted

295
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:55.079
on next week's show. You know, I'm right now leaning towards that maybe

296
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.759
Finn walks out as world champion.
Maybe you're thinking he doesn't. You've got

297
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.519
Damian priests looming with the briefcase.
Does he cash in? Maybe Seth rollins

298
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.960
retains as he cash in and become
world champion, and then that's the storyline

299
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.079
between he and Finn. I feel
like we're still directionally pointing towards tension in

300
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:18.160
the judgment day, and I don't
know how right now we get out of

301
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.160
that potential tension, because three weeks
ago they tease tension. It's been great

302
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.160
since like three to four weeks,
they've been back on the same page.

303
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:32.640
Close of raw contract signing, Finn
is down, Damien comes in, takes

304
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.079
out Seth with the briefcase, stares
at the briefcase. Finn gets up,

305
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.799
stares at Damian staring at the briefcase, and we get to tease before Sammy

306
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:45.039
Zane's music hits. So they keep
going back to that, even though it's

307
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.119
like that rubber band. It's like
they go to it, then they come

308
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:49.559
back away from it. They go
to it, they gope back to it.

309
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.359
So if we're not breaking them up, now, what is the storyline

310
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.720
with him? What do you think
the direction is coming out of SummerSlam that

311
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.319
we see with the Judgment Day Because
it certainly feels like, you know,

312
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.960
they could be that compelling bloodline ask
for Raw that brings people in and keeps

313
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.160
them interested and entertain each and every
week and they can run rough shot on

314
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.000
Raw for the next year like they
have. You know, they've been very,

315
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.079
very good, and this is a
pretty crucial time for creative to come

316
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.960
up with something really compelling for this
group that seems to be over. Whether

317
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:27.880
you'd like to cheer them or boo
them, Yeah, for me, it's

318
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.960
it's a little bit of what we've
been seeing with you know, them battling

319
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.920
with Sammy and Kevin and then whichever
Kylie we saw with Imperium, with Sammy

320
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.680
and Kevin and Matt Riddle against Imperium. Where you take your tag team champions,

321
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.640
you line them up against Judgment Day, you mix in another baby face.

322
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.519
But to me, I think they're
gonna end up putting the tag belts

323
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:53.680
on Finn and Damien here before long, and then with the briefcase in the

324
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.559
middle, just keep teasing that tension
back and forth until they decided to pull

325
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:02.839
the trigger. I still think it's
too early to take the belt off Seth.

326
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.799
He's only had it for two months. Like you still have to establish

327
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.559
some credibility behind that tip, because
like right now, if you watch Draw

328
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.119
to me, the Intercontinental title is
more valuable than Seth's title just because Gunther's

329
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:18.440
had it for so long and when
somebody finally beats him is going to be

330
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.400
a huge thing. Sets only had
that belt for sixty days, so I

331
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.000
think you need to keep the belt
on set to kind of help build up

332
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.240
that prestige some more. So maybe
you move the tag belts over to Finn

333
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.759
and Damien. They keep bickering over
money the brain briefcase, Sammy and Kevin

334
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:40.480
Handy with them have a good feud. I like him putting the putting a

335
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:44.799
title on Dom just because it gives
Dom a little more credibility, even though

336
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.599
you know he's a heel and you
want to buy chicanery. But you know,

337
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.359
if you can get the tag belts
on Finn and Damien, while Dom

338
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.680
has the NXT North American title and
Maria has the Raw or the Women's Championship

339
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.279
and Raw that you get all four
titles on one group. That's pretty impressive,

340
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.440
and I think that's a good way
to kind of run that angle until

341
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.119
you decide to split somebody up.
The other angle would be you brought up

342
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:12.599
JD. Mcdonnaugh is to have Finn
win the belt, Damien go to cash

343
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:18.200
in, and Begunna run in to
stop Damian from cashing in, and then

344
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.960
basically kicking Damien out out of the
Judgment Day for trying to use surf Finn

345
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.119
balor instead. So there's a couple
of different ways to play with it if

346
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.720
you if you really wanted to,
Yeah, I don't know. It's it's

347
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.119
really confusing right now. I feel
like the best thing that they could do

348
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.640
is put the title on Finn and
keep writing this Judgment Day wave. And

349
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.200
I know you'd like to think that
Seth Rollins shouldn't have a short reign as

350
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.720
champion because he just won the title
in May, But there's some things that

351
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:52.400
I'm seeing in interviews and new sites
what have you right where leading into and

352
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.359
becoming World of the Weight Champion.
Seth was starting to do some movie roles.

353
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.279
Granted, I think movies are basically
shut down with with the strikes going

354
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.279
on. But he was involved with
some movie rules and then I saw something

355
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.839
recently that he needs some sort of
surgery, like it's on his back that

356
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:15.519
he's been wrestling with a bad back
basically for three years, and he needs

357
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:19.319
to take some time off eventually to
get surgery to clean this up whatever,

358
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.400
And it's like, man, is
this Could this be what they're doing right

359
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:29.000
now? Could they theoretically, you
know, did they have Seth win the

360
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:33.440
championship first too, to make it
a big deal and set up this entire

361
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.559
storyline that makes a ton of sense
creatively with Finn Balor at SummerSlam. Revisiting

362
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:44.599
their match at SummerSlam twenty sixteen seventeen
in the first Universal Championship match where Finn

363
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.119
got hurt and Finn avenges it and
then Seth goes away, like that could

364
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.599
be the storyline to their Doctor Trey. I mean, as I talk it

365
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.799
out loud, maybe Finn ends up
injuring Seth in the match and Seth goes

366
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.799
away for a couple of months,
Like I could see Seth going away again

367
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.599
for a little bit of time.
Maybe he returns Survivor series. Maybe they

368
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.920
hold him off until the rumble heading
into Rustlemania forty season. There's a lot

369
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.640
of different things here, but I
think a loss at SummerSlam for Finn equals

370
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:21.240
a Judgment Day like breakup, or
a Damien priests cash in at SummerSlam leads

371
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:26.680
to a Judgment day breakup. I
think you have Finn win the title,

372
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.640
and then the compelling storyline for the
next three, four or five months is

373
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.359
Damien wants to cash in the money
in bank. Briefcase, would he do

374
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:40.000
it on Finn the entire time and
then eventually he does turn it on Finn

375
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:44.240
and maybe that's your Rustlemania forty match. No, that's a really good point

376
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.319
too, because, like as you
were talking, I was like, well,

377
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.599
if Seth needs to have surgery and
take some time off, you know,

378
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.559
his wife has a big match with
Trish, which is to blow off

379
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.640
to their feud, I wouldn't be
surprised to see that match in and both

380
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.400
ladies go away for a while and
then that way Seth and Becky me off

381
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.799
with their daughter and convalesce together.
Um, you know, the Finn with

382
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:11.440
the title and Damien constantly kind of
teasing the cash in is a great storyline

383
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.720
as well, Like that would be
really fun to watch, especially if they

384
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.359
end up do bringing in you know
what, JD mcdunn or something that you

385
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:23.839
know that way Finn feels like not
because right now, if you watch Judgment

386
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.200
Day, it kind of feels like
Damian, Dom and Rhea are their own

387
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:33.680
little click and Finn's kind of to
the side. If Finn brings in McDonough

388
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.200
to be back up to be his
support within that, then I can see

389
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.680
that playing out and then you split
it evenly and Dom and uh, Damien

390
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.680
go off together, Finn and JD
go together, and then you have a

391
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.680
few that way. So uh,
but the idea of Damien cashing in on

392
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:53.400
his own, on his own brethren
would be really good TV. So if

393
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.680
they do, if they go that
route, that'd be fantastic as well.

394
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.799
Yeah, it's um, it's good
stuff right now right Like I would also

395
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.559
say, in a perfect world,
if you're looking for a cool storyline coming

396
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.400
out of all of this, keeping
the Judgment Day together, figuring out whatever

397
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.440
you do with the bloodline, I
would love to see some sort of intersecting

398
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.079
with the bloodline of Solisico Roman reigns
and some of the members of the Judgment

399
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.400
Day. Like, I think that
would be pretty compelling television as well.

400
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.799
But you also have some other stables. They may be being built presently.

401
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.799
You've seen Bobby Lashley talking with Carmelo, Hayson, Trick Williams, he was

402
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.279
talking with the Street Profits on SmackDown
the last couple of weeks. Maybe there's

403
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:40.240
something there so good times. Stables
in professional wrestling, Doctor Trey I think

404
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.279
are so successful. They were successful
in the Attitude era. They were successful

405
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.039
in WW in the late nineties as
well. During that run, they went

406
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.680
away for about twenty years. They're
back now in w W, and they're

407
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.640
bringing Capelli Television to w right now. And I guess you could say the

408
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.319
same for AW presently as well,
coming out of the Blackpool, Combat Loud,

409
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:06.599
Golden Elite stuff. That stables are
a really good way to make fans

410
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:10.920
care and give you compelling storylines.
Because the Judgment Day, I mean,

411
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:17.599
I think they've superseded in a way
the popularity of the bloodline that was going

412
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.400
on, because the Bloodline is basically
no more at this point, and the

413
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.599
stuff that you're seeing with the Judgment
Day on RAW and NXT and when they

414
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:27.440
do show up to smack down from
time and time again, has made sure

415
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:32.200
some really entertaining TV on w right
now, and it's so organic and it's

416
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.680
enjoyable, which I always like to
see as a as a wrestling fan,

417
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.079
never understood when stables kind of went
away, because you know, to me,

418
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.400
wrestling is supposed to be somewhat of
a mirror to a degree of real

419
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.079
life. And you know, most
people have a friend or have two friends,

420
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.400
and we didn't have stables. It
was like, you know, a

421
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.839
good guys getting beat up by three
bad guys and no good guy comes out

422
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.440
to help. Is like, well, is he actually a good guy behind

423
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.519
the scenes because nobody's coming and save
him and he's getting his ass kicked.

424
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:08.279
So, you know, nowadays it
kind of feels like everybody has somebody to

425
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:12.799
watch their back, which I think
is a much more reflection of life.

426
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.759
And then like you know, wrestling
mirroring life, so um, you know,

427
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.720
can you have too many stables?
Yeah? Maybe aw has too many

428
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.440
stables, but you know in WW
when you only have like a couple of

429
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:32.079
stables and a couple of tag teams, it gives you storylines also to playoff

430
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.000
of and build people with that.
So you know, we saw it with

431
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.599
you know, Biggie winning the world
title when he kind of broke out from

432
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.200
the New Day. You know,
we've seen it with you know Jet,

433
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:44.599
We're going back to the Shield.
We've seen it with the Ya family.

434
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:48.119
We've seen it with other stables or
the last you know, eight years.

435
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.359
It's just a good formula for success
if done properly. All right, let's

436
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.640
get to u NXT Great American Bash
preview and predictions. It comes this Sunday

437
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.279
on Peacock from the H e B
Center and Cedar Park, Texas, says

438
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.880
doctor Trey. Your Southern is it
h e B? What is that?

439
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.279
HEB is a grocery chain? Okay, so I think it's a h B.

440
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:10.720
But he's always called Hebe. I
didn't know. I didn't. I

441
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:14.519
never shopped in there. I just
saw it a lot when I was traveling

442
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.599
through Texas. But yes, it
is a kind of like Giant Foods and

443
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:24.480
oh stop the shop. Yes,
hib is a regional chain. Okay,

444
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:27.440
there you go, and the more
you know. Here on this week's edition

445
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.680
of sr TU, let's get to
the first match here. It's the pre

446
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.000
show match eight person mixed tag team
match Dragon Lee, Nathan Fraser, Luisa

447
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:37.759
Leon and Valentine of Freroy's take on
the metaphor of No Man, No m

448
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.039
Dar, Oral Mensa, Jacar Jackson
and lash lens It Legend Doctor Trey.

449
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.480
I'm going to take the metaphor in
this one, yes, because I love

450
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:49.839
the name because of that's just that's
fantastic. It was a great name.

451
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.720
So eever came up with that,
kudos them. I am taking metaphor because,

452
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:58.279
like you said, we like stables, so uh just beaters. Who

453
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.880
takes the pinfall on the other team? Because you have Dragon Lee and then

454
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.799
you also have the Heritage Cup champion
of Dathan Frasier, I'm assuming probably one

455
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.799
of the ladies will take the pinfall
on next match. Here's the triple threat

456
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.200
match for the NXT and North American
Championship. Dirty Dom Mysterio Defense against Wesley

457
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.119
and Mustafa Ali Doctor Troy. Who
do you like in this one? It

458
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:22.720
might be the hardest match on the
show for me to predict because I really

459
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.039
want Dom to keep the belt.
But then do we see the North American

460
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:31.400
Title on you know, Raw and
NXT every single week? Does that actually

461
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:37.880
give an XT a boost. I
think I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Dom.

462
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.680
I'm gonna take Dom to somehow steal
the way and keep the belt for

463
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:44.640
another month or two at least.
I agree you. This is a very

464
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.599
tough match to call, and there
were periods of time triple threat match titles

465
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.319
on the line. I'm like,
man, you know, maybe Mustafa Ali

466
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.400
gets the pin on Wesley and they
protect Dom. Dom goes away for a

467
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.519
little bit. But viewership is up
in NXT right now. A lot of

468
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.960
how to do with the Judgment Day. I think they want to keep the

469
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:05.359
Judgment Day on NXE television for a
period of time, So I'm gonna have

470
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:10.239
Dirty Domasteria retain as well. Next
match, here is Tiffany Stratton defending against

471
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:14.119
Theia Hale, and I say,
a mission match for the Nexy Women's Championship.

472
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.480
I've really enjoyed this bill. That's
been very basic and simple and it's

473
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:22.119
been fun to watch. Tiffany Stratton
retains in my opinion. She says she's

474
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.079
going to debut a new submission move. She keeps tapping out to Thia Hale

475
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.599
with that. I think she defeats
the Hail. On Sunday, Yeah,

476
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.760
I'm with you. I think as
much as I love Fia Hale, I

477
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.639
love her and she kind of reminds
me of you know, A Live Morgan

478
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:40.199
was an NXC which he first came
up. I think thea Hale could be

479
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:45.360
a bigger star here in a couple
of years. But right now, Tiffany

480
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.239
Stratton is your new Mandy Rose and
they're going to run that for a while,

481
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.800
so I'm thinking Stratton ever retain as
well. Next matches for the NEXC

482
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.280
Tag Team Championship is Gallus of Mark
Coffee and Wolfgang defend against the Family of

483
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:59.880
Tony D'Angelo and Channing Stacks, Lorenzo, Doctor Trey. Who do you like?

484
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.559
This is one of the ones where, like on paper, I take

485
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:07.719
Dallas, But with all the stuff
they've been doing with D'Angelo and Stacks over

486
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.239
the last few months, with D'Angelo
going to jail and then Stacks turn them

487
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.400
in, with all of that stuff, they have to have a payoff for

488
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.840
the baby faces, So I am
going to take D'Angelo and Stacks the family

489
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.199
to win the NXECY Tag Team titles. Yeah, they've been doing that storyline

490
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:27.280
for the entire time of Tony d
being arrested getting out of jail, the

491
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.679
chase for them to become the NAXE
Tag Team Champions. If they were to

492
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.199
lose this match, it would be
strange unless there was some sort of turn,

493
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.519
and I don't see that happening right
now based off of the way that

494
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.079
the entire storyline played out. With
that said, I'm going to go with

495
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:45.039
the family Tony Day and Channing Saxe
Lorenzo to win the NXC Tag Team Championship.

496
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:51.559
Next match is Gabel Steveson making his
in ring debut against Baron Corbin.

497
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.280
Gabel Steeveson not going back to college, not going to the Olympics next year,

498
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.119
he is going to be wrestling in
NXT. Have to think that this

499
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:07.159
is the beginning of a potentially big
career for someone who is an Olympian,

500
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:12.239
Golden Medalist, Olympian. We know
how that works out in WI with Curt

501
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:15.679
Angle. So I am not going
to pick against Gabel Stevenson in his debut

502
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:21.440
match. I have him defeating Baron
Corbyn. Do we feel bad for Baron

503
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.039
Corbyn right now? Like That's where
I'm at right now, Like I'm picking

504
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:27.800
Gable Stevenson who win as well,
but I'm just like, I'm looking at

505
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:32.440
going damn Baron Corban up until you
know, three weeks ago when jay Uso

506
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.159
pin Roman Rains was the last guy
to pan Roman Reins three years ago,

507
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.719
and he has come all the way
down to where he's basically probably gonna be

508
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:45.400
a squash match for a new debuting
superstar. So on one hand, I

509
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.440
feel bad for Baron Corbyn. On
the other hand, I know he's well

510
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:51.920
paid and you know, pretty happy
with his job and his career. So

511
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.800
but that Bean said, I'm taking
Gable Stevenson, and then I'm wondering when

512
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:59.719
we're gonna get the Damon Kemp tiant
because aren't they brothers. They did tease

513
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:04.880
that during the Eddie Thorpe Damon Kemp
stuff that was going on with NXC Underground

514
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:08.159
and Gabe Steveson was helping Eddie Thorpe
out. But yeah, maybe they carry

515
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.159
that over a little bit. The
stuff with Barren Corby. I just read

516
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:14.599
an interview I think he was on
After the Bell with Corey Grays and Kevin

517
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:20.360
Patrick THEE podcast, and he said
he requested to go down at NXT and

518
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.639
refresh his character a little bit.
So he seems to be enjoying it,

519
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.400
and I think he's the perfect person
on the NXC roster to have that first

520
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:32.719
big debut match in NXT. So
Baron Corbyn Gabel steveson this Sunday at NXC

521
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:37.480
Great American Bash. Next match here
is he Weapons wild match as Roxann Perez

522
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.360
takes on Blair Davenport Doctor Trey.
Who do you like in this one?

523
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.719
Kind of gone back and forth because
I'm trying to fig out that, you

524
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.840
know, we need another challenger for
Tiffany Stratton. Roxanne Perez makes a bunch

525
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:54.360
of sense, but you're still trying
to establish Blair Davin boards. I think

526
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:59.119
I'll take as a weapons match,
I'll take a Rock Sam. This one's

527
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.239
been really hard for me too.
I think I'll take Rock Sand just because

528
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:07.920
the baby faces typically don't lose weapons
matches, So I'll take the baby face.

529
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:12.199
Roxam Perez get the whinever Blair Davenport. Yeah, Roxam Perez needs a

530
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.480
big victory. She has been taking
a lot of els. They did a

531
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:21.920
cool segment on Tuesday's NXT where her
and Blair Davenport battled and like a gas

532
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:29.400
station supermarket and it is very um
head nod to the Booker t Stonehold grocery

533
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.199
store segment from SmackDown like in two
thousand and one, two thousand and two,

534
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.880
So that was pretty cool and roxand
looked good in that, and I

535
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.920
think that needs to carry over in
Weapons Wild because She's She's definitely not been

536
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.320
booked great in my opinion in the
last couple of months on NXET, So

537
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.920
I'm taking roxam Perez as well,
and that takes us to our main event

538
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.280
is Carmelo Hayes defends the NXCAT Championship
against Eliot dragging Off. I'm really looking

539
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.400
forward this match. This match kind
of came out of nowhere. Did not

540
00:38:54.440 --> 00:39:00.119
see Carmelo feuding with Elia, and
it's been pretty good on XC television so

541
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:05.400
far. Elie definitely looks pretty strong. He closed out NXT taking out Carmelo

542
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:07.440
Hayes, which, if you are
a long time listening the show knows that

543
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.400
that typically doesn't pan out well for
the pay per view match itself. So

544
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:15.800
I'm gonna take Carmelo Hayes to retain
the NXC champiship at the Great American bashover

545
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.320
Elia dragging Off. You look at
dragging Off over the past couple of months.

546
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.320
I mean he got he got a
victory of a braun breaker, he

547
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:30.639
had that great falls count Anywhere match
with with Ordi Jack. He's for a

548
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.599
guy who's like one hundred and eighty
five hundred ninety pound, they're almost booking

549
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.480
him like a monster, So kudos
to him. But you know, wrestling

550
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.039
one on one says, whoever gets
the upper hand on the go home show

551
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.360
means they're losing the pay per view. So although the stuff of Bobby Lashly

552
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.079
is an interesting and it could be
a way to transition out of it,

553
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:50.800
but I just don't think it's time
for that yet. So I think Carmelo

554
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.360
retains. So there you go.
Carmelo Hayes retains from both of us here

555
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:57.599
and Doctor Train I had the same
prediction. So if you're looking for some

556
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.119
changes in the pay per view prediction
records, you probably won't see it at

557
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:06.480
the Great American Bash. But we
will recap and review the Great American Bash

558
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:10.239
on next week edition the show,
and we will also preview and predict Www
