63
00:02:52,641 –> 00:02:56,641

64
00:02:56,721 –> 00:03:00,161

67
00:03:09,361 –> 00:03:13,121

68
00:03:15,441 –> 00:03:19,201
Matt: who was great and i don’t understand how they haven’t figured out a way to use

72
00:03:34,161 –> 00:03:38,321
Matt: get how you feel about it’ll it’ll put you in the stands i think the

73
00:03:38,401 –> 00:03:42,001
Matt: counterargument on that that keeps hitting me is that

74
00:03:43,041 –> 00:03:47,041
Matt: you’ve you’ve put two hundred people on the unemployment line

75
00:03:48,081 –> 00:03:54,241
Matt: and yet you can still find the sacks of cash to get goldberg to come back or i

76
00:03:54,321 –> 00:03:58,961
Matt: don’t even want to know how many zeros are on the check it took for stone cold to

77
00:03:59,021 –> 00:04:00,021
Matt: come out of retirement

78
00:04:02,561 –> 00:04:06,081
Matt: not like he needs them but it had to have been an amount of money he couldn’t

79
00:04:06,161 –> 00:04:07,521
Matt: turn down um

80
00:04:09,041 –> 00:04:13,601
Matt: or either that or they couldn’t get the rock so they were like well i mean we had

81
00:04:13,761 –> 00:04:16,721
Matt: this earmarked for him so i guess but

82
00:04:17,921 –> 00:04:22,881
Matt: it i don’t i it it’s just like everybody else raising prices on everything in

83
00:04:22,781 –> 00:04:23,781
Matt: spite of just

84
00:04:24,801 –> 00:04:27,681

89
00:04:40,880 –> 00:04:43,040
Jeremy: like who he wants to face and who he wants

90
00:04:44,940 –> 00:04:45,940
91
00:04:45,681 –> 00:04:47,041
Matt: man i think

92
00:04:45,760 –> 00:04:50,000
Jeremy: with i think you know trying to think about who would be good with it i think

93
00:04:49,861 –> 00:04:50,861
Matt: i think

94
00:04:50,320 –> 00:04:53,120
Jeremy: him and kevin owens i think it would be a phenomenal

95
00:04:52,661 –> 00:04:53,661
96
00:04:52,820 –> 00:04:53,820
97
00:04:54,100 –> 00:04:55,100
98
00:04:54,541 –> 00:04:55,541
99
00:04:54,880 –> 00:04:57,120
Jeremy: considering the fact that he kevin’s

100
00:04:57,021 –> 00:04:58,021
Matt: y so

101
00:04:57,200 –> 00:04:59,600
Jeremy: doing the stunner so like you could that would i

102
00:04:59,261 –> 00:05:00,261
Matt: that would

103
00:04:59,680 –> 00:05:02,720
Jeremy: could think that could be a great mat and i feel like someone like kevin would do

104
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:06,320
Jeremy: a really great job bumping for stone cold and like i don’t know

105
00:05:06,021 –> 00:05:07,021
106
00:05:06,480 –> 00:05:08,880
Jeremy: just really making him look look great like a

107
00:05:08,581 –> 00:05:09,581
108
00:05:09,040 –> 00:05:10,320
Jeremy: w is done with staying like

109
00:05:09,941 –> 00:05:10,941
110
00:05:10,780 –> 00:05:11,780
Jeremy: like you can

111
00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:14,400

112
00:05:11,601 –> 00:05:12,881
Matt: like you can do it the right way

113
00:05:14,480 –> 00:05:16,720
Jeremy: because they’ve gotten people like goldberg who was never

114
00:05:16,501 –> 00:05:17,501
115
00:05:16,960 –> 00:05:21,840
Jeremy: the best wrestler to begin with so i think they could do it they they could do it

116
00:05:21,920 –> 00:05:26,800
Jeremy: right i just think with wwe history that i’m not always i’m not confident that

117
00:05:26,860 –> 00:05:27,860
Jeremy: they are so like

118
00:05:27,741 –> 00:05:28,741

Matt: i gotta like

121
00:05:31,360 –> 00:05:35,040
Jeremy: feel like they would figure out a way to make that work really well and to

122
00:05:35,120 –> 00:05:39,920
Jeremy: highlight the best of him i get why he’s not going there like cause he has this

00:06:05,920 –> 00:06:07,600
Jeremy: basically when i stopped watching wrestling in the

144

Matt: night moose retained he defeated morrissey

151
00:06:36,641 –> 00:06:41,921
Matt: if reports are to be believed there’s a distinct possibility that morris is is

152
00:06:42,081 –> 00:06:48,961
Matt: almost a free agent i find it i i i have no doubt he’s going back to vince he’s

153
00:06:50,481 –> 00:06:56,801
Matt: he’s seven feet tall and you can’t teach that um so it’s i i think may have had

00:08:07,221 –> 00:08:08,221
173
00:08:08,881 –> 00:08:15,441
Matt: no surrender was was a a quality show but we also got that wonderful three plus

174
00:08:15,681 –> 00:08:21,441
Matt: hour shit cho in the desert in saudi arabia that wwe presented elimination

175
00:08:21,621 –> 00:08:22,621
176
00:08:23,921 –> 00:08:29,921
Matt: with the blood money from the crown prints on saturday as well i’ll let you take

177
00:08:29,981 –> 00:08:30,981
Matt: that one away cause

178
00:08:32,581 –> 00:08:33,581
Matt: i’m trying to

179
00:08:33,140 –> 00:08:34,140
180
00:08:33,221 –> 00:08:34,221
Matt: be positive

181
00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:40,320
Jeremy: so i only really actually did watch the uh men’s elimination chamber match i mean

182
00:08:40,480 –> 00:08:45,040
Jeremy: one you know that was the only thing i was really particularly interested in i

183
00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:50,160
Jeremy: mean i’m sure there were some decent matches on there ahead of time but uh i also

184
00:08:50,400 –> 00:08:53,920
Jeremy: just kind of forgot that oh wait a minute this is in the morning this is like

185
00:08:54,000 –> 00:08:58,320
Jeremy: starts at nine a m uh so i tuned in like right when um

186
00:08:59,300 –> 00:09:00,300
Jeremy: the the

187
00:09:00,220 –> 00:09:01,220
Jeremy: men’s chamber

188
00:09:00,261 –> 00:09:01,261
Matt: the men

189
00:09:01,840 –> 00:09:05,200
Jeremy: entrances were happening bobby lashley was coming into the ring and

190
00:09:02,161 –> 00:09:03,921
Matt: the what happening on that

191
00:09:05,061 –> 00:09:06,061
192
00:09:06,320 –> 00:09:10,640
Jeremy: the most interesting thing is they loaded up three of the pods

193
00:09:10,181 –> 00:09:11,181
194
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:15,120
Jeremy: and they brought out the the two gentlemen that were gonna start the match and

195
00:09:15,280 –> 00:09:20,320
Jeremy: then they brought out the fourth entrance to the pod and just just like okay

196
00:09:20,321 –> 00:09:22,081
Matt: like what make you to biggest star

197
00:09:20,560 –> 00:09:23,040
Jeremy: here’s your biggest star but still like there’s a order

198
00:09:22,661 –> 00:09:23,661
199
00:09:23,200 –> 00:09:24,880
Jeremy: that we do things in i don’t know

200
00:09:26,341 –> 00:09:27,341
201
00:09:27,420 –> 00:09:28,420
Jeremy: it’s just kind of lame

202
00:09:27,761 –> 00:09:32,641
Matt: i i think i think it did a massive disservice i know they had to fill time and

203
00:09:32,721 –> 00:09:37,201
Matt: you can’t put brock in there first and expect him to kill you know twenty five

204
00:09:37,441 –> 00:09:39,121
Matt: fish minutes of match time

205
00:09:40,881 –> 00:09:44,721
Matt: i mean he did it in that royal rumble where he started number one and went to

206
00:09:44,801 –> 00:09:48,961
Matt: what eighteen or or no he went all way the end didn’t he

207
00:09:51,580 –> 00:09:52,580
Jeremy: yeah something like that

208
00:09:52,801 –> 00:09:57,201
Matt: yeah because it was it was at the end that he got clay mot over the top so he

209
00:09:57,361 –> 00:10:01,681
Matt: started at the at the first and ran the entirety of that royal rumble so he can

210
00:10:01,841 –> 00:10:02,961
Matt: do it um

211
00:10:04,321 –> 00:10:10,241
Matt: i think it would have given how wrong they did bobby lashley with the the injury

212
00:10:10,321 –> 00:10:12,241
Matt: angle and him not being able to actually

213
00:10:12,580 –> 00:10:13,580
214
00:10:12,581 –> 00:10:13,581
Matt: participate here

215
00:10:14,721 –> 00:10:19,681
Matt: had brock actually started this match and had time in the ring with each of these

216
00:10:19,761 –> 00:10:23,521
Matt: guys so that he didn’t make three former champs look like a chump

217
00:10:24,721 –> 00:10:29,441
Matt: so that they didn’t have to kill all that time with him just gratuitously beating

218
00:10:29,441 –> 00:10:35,041
Matt: the hell out of austin theory for seemingly no reason um i mean cause brock got

219
00:10:35,201 –> 00:10:37,601
Matt: history with rollins i don’t understand why

220
00:10:37,220 –> 00:10:38,220
221
00:10:37,841 –> 00:10:42,321
Matt: that that wouldn’t have been the guy that he wanted to put a a massive beat down

222
00:10:42,481 –> 00:10:47,601
Matt: on um because we’re not building towards an austin theory brock lesnar

223
00:10:47,681 –> 00:10:52,161
Matt: wrestlemania match so all of that was gratuitous it goes nowhere

224
00:10:54,241 –> 00:10:59,361
Matt: i think it would have done more for him to start the match if he was gonna win um

225
00:11:00,241 –> 00:11:05,361
Matt: as opposed to him kicking his way out of his pod before actually being released

226
00:11:06,641 –> 00:11:10,161
Matt: and eliminating all the other competitors when he wasn’t even an active

227
00:11:10,241 –> 00:11:11,281
Matt: participant in the match

228
00:11:12,021 –> 00:11:13,021
229
00:11:12,260 –> 00:11:13,260
230
00:11:12,721 –> 00:11:16,641
Matt: i i don’t i don’t know what what they were thinking here the f five off the top

231
00:11:16,721 –> 00:11:18,001
Matt: of the pod looked horrible

232
00:11:20,481 –> 00:11:21,601
Matt: it it just felt like a

233
00:11:21,220 –> 00:11:22,220
234
00:11:21,681 –> 00:11:27,201
Matt: disjointed mess if bobby lashley was hurt you you have him surrender the title

235
00:11:27,361 –> 00:11:28,961
Matt: two weeks ago um

236
00:11:30,801 –> 00:11:36,561
Matt: just say you’re hurt you can’t compete at a level that a champion should it’s a

237
00:11:36,641 –> 00:11:40,161
Matt: sign of goodwill towards the audience to not put them through this kind of

238
00:11:40,581 –> 00:11:41,581
Matt: because we know this

239
00:11:41,060 –> 00:11:42,060
240
00:11:41,441 –> 00:11:42,961
Matt: is the sort of shit that’s coming

241
00:11:45,121 –> 00:11:49,921
Matt: and you put somebody else in that other pod so that you get a full match without

242
00:11:50,161 –> 00:11:52,161
Matt: all this extra garbage um

243
00:11:53,681 –> 00:11:58,401
Matt: i think they did a massive disservice to everybody else in this match to get to

244
00:11:58,641 –> 00:12:00,241
Matt: what we already knew was coming

245
00:12:02,241 –> 00:12:03,441
Matt: and it it it

246
00:12:03,340 –> 00:12:04,340
247
00:12:03,601 –> 00:12:08,721
Matt: it really does it it kills me the way they’ve treated aj styles lately just kills

248
00:12:08,341 –> 00:12:09,341
249
00:12:10,780 –> 00:12:11,780
Jeremy: and i mean

250
00:12:11,521 –> 00:12:12,721
Matt: can i be up like that

251
00:12:11,600 –> 00:12:15,760
Jeremy: on top of that too we just want to talk about brock like so now we’re getting uh

252
00:12:16,800 –> 00:12:21,440
Jeremy: so the you know you were reading about the injuries and stuff and when you were

253
00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:23,280
Jeremy: watching it so i had

254
00:12:23,061 –> 00:12:24,061
255
00:12:23,440 –> 00:12:26,720
Jeremy: watched it and i’d already watched it at that point where you were concerned

256
00:12:26,800 –> 00:12:28,960
Jeremy: about bobby lashley and i was like ah he’s okay

257
00:12:28,581 –> 00:12:29,581
258
00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:31,920
Jeremy: at least i didn’t know about the shoulder but it was like it’s not a

259
00:12:31,621 –> 00:12:32,621
260
00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:35,120
Jeremy: concussion like they took him out of that match for some other reason because

261
00:12:35,200 –> 00:12:39,520
Jeremy: they i had that graphic ready to go champion versus champion brock lesnar versus

262
00:12:39,460 –> 00:12:40,460
Jeremy: roman reigns

263
00:12:40,421 –> 00:12:41,421
264
00:12:40,540 –> 00:12:41,540
Jeremy: winner takes all

265
00:12:43,100 –> 00:12:44,100
Jeremy: with that

266
00:12:43,761 –> 00:12:45,281
Matt: the diet ho

267
00:12:44,080 –> 00:12:46,640
Jeremy: you know so that’s obvious where they were going but

268
00:12:46,501 –> 00:12:47,501
269
00:12:47,380 –> 00:12:48,380
Jeremy: at the same time

270
00:12:50,400 –> 00:12:54,400
Jeremy: my plausible thing was like oh maybe he did get injured but like it didn’t affect

271
00:12:54,640 –> 00:12:57,280
Jeremy: the plan ’cause you know brock was gonna win

272
00:12:57,141 –> 00:12:58,141
273
00:12:57,440 –> 00:12:59,520
Jeremy: anyway but it’s just like i i’m not

274
00:12:59,301 –> 00:13:00,301
Matt: i’m not

275
00:12:59,540 –> 00:13:00,540
Jeremy: i’m not even

276
00:13:01,440 –> 00:13:05,680
Jeremy: sure anymore that you know like for a while it was just like when brock came back

277
00:13:05,760 –> 00:13:11,360
Jeremy: i was like okay this is where roman’s gonna get that that final chance to defeat

278
00:13:11,440 –> 00:13:13,840
Jeremy: brock which is he’s failed to do all this time

279
00:13:14,141 –> 00:13:15,141
Matt: stomach in

280
00:13:14,640 –> 00:13:17,120
Jeremy: and i’m just not even sure about that anymore

281
00:13:17,541 –> 00:13:18,541
282
00:13:19,421 –> 00:13:20,421
Matt: i i

283
00:13:19,860 –> 00:13:20,860
284
00:13:20,241 –> 00:13:24,321
Matt: gotta give a lot of credit to bobby lashley on the the selling in that pod though

285
00:13:24,801 –> 00:13:28,721
Matt: i really i was actually concerned that something happened to him i didn’t it

286
00:13:28,721 –> 00:13:33,281
Matt: didn’t even cross my mind ’cause the way theory went through the side of that

287
00:13:33,361 –> 00:13:38,721
Matt: thing it got lashly in like the knee like it i didn’t even consider

288
00:13:40,321 –> 00:13:41,601
Matt: concussion like at all

289
00:13:43,121 –> 00:13:48,161
Matt: i was actually more worried that the plex glass wasn’t supposed to give cause the

290
00:13:48,241 –> 00:13:52,401
Matt: way it was propped up on his leg i thought he was pinned in there in a way that

291
00:13:52,481 –> 00:13:55,761
Matt: like if he moved that plex glass was gonna cut him and

292
00:13:56,801 –> 00:14:00,001
Matt: we all know that that’s not a real good place to get cut

293
00:14:00,100 –> 00:14:01,100
294
00:14:01,441 –> 00:14:05,841
Matt: i was more concerned that that something had gone slightly wrong and like he was

295
00:14:06,081 –> 00:14:08,321
Matt: actually in harm’s way um

296
00:14:09,441 –> 00:14:11,681
Matt: and though at one point seth

297
00:14:11,540 –> 00:14:12,540
Jeremy: do you

298
00:14:11,761 –> 00:14:15,041
Matt: rollins kind of looked at the reff and the ref just kind of shook his head and

299
00:14:15,041 –> 00:14:19,041
Matt: shrugged like he didn’t know what the hell they were supposed to do um and that

300
00:14:19,201 –> 00:14:22,881
Matt: that gave me a little bit of pause too so if all of that was selling those guys

301
00:14:22,961 –> 00:14:26,561
Matt: did the best they could with what they were given um and they they deserve some

302
00:14:26,641 –> 00:14:30,561
Matt: credit for that but i actually was i was worried for bobby lashley for a bit

303
00:14:30,181 –> 00:14:31,181
304
00:14:32,020 –> 00:14:33,020
305
00:14:35,280 –> 00:14:39,840
Jeremy: i guess it’ll be interesting but you’ll see the fallout they’re on their way back

306
00:14:40,000 –> 00:14:46,400
Jeremy: to to columbia south carolina for for ra tomorrow and you’re going

307
00:14:46,901 –> 00:14:47,901
308
00:14:48,721 –> 00:14:52,001
Matt: i haven’t seen any reports that their uh their plane has been

309
00:14:53,121 –> 00:14:57,761
Matt: detained in any way so i’m not going to get three hours three hours of nx t

310
00:14:57,921 –> 00:15:02,801
Matt: talent uh i probably wouldn’t be terribly upset if that was mostly what i got

311
00:15:04,481 –> 00:15:09,201
Matt: you know pete dunn and champa could probably put on a hour long iron man match

312
00:15:09,201 –> 00:15:10,401
Matt: and i’d be thrilled with it

313
00:15:11,941 –> 00:15:12,941
Matt: but yeah i’m

314
00:15:13,461 –> 00:15:14,461
315
00:15:15,201 –> 00:15:18,961
Matt: i don’t i don’t necessarily expect that i’m gonna get there and it’s gonna blow

316
00:15:19,041 –> 00:15:25,121
Matt: my socks off i think it’s going to be entirely too much promo but i am excited to

317
00:15:25,281 –> 00:15:27,601
Matt: see if cody shows up and

318
00:15:28,641 –> 00:15:34,161
Matt: if tomaso gets another main event match which he probably will um it seems like

319
00:15:34,241 –> 00:15:35,761
Matt: that’s a weekly thing for him now

320
00:15:37,760 –> 00:15:41,680
Jeremy: yeah i mean hopefully you can just have fun at least you don’t have to drive

321
00:15:41,840 –> 00:15:44,480
Jeremy: anywhere for it you’re just uh going down the road

322
00:15:45,600 –> 00:15:49,600
Jeremy: so it’s not it’s nothing like how like you like that one time we went to

323
00:15:49,680 –> 00:15:52,080
Jeremy: birmingham like to go see a raw

324
00:15:52,541 –> 00:15:53,541
Matt: yeah they

325
00:15:52,880 –> 00:15:55,280
Jeremy: although we had a delicious barbecue beforehand

326
00:15:55,661 –> 00:15:56,661
Matt: there was a

327
00:15:57,301 –> 00:15:58,301
328
00:15:59,201 –> 00:16:03,841
Matt: basketball game in in the same arena last night so i checked like an hour before

329
00:16:04,241 –> 00:16:09,281
Matt: the game what traffic looked like and even with delays it was fourteen minutes so

330
00:16:09,221 –> 00:16:10,221
331
00:16:09,380 –> 00:16:10,380
332
00:16:10,001 –> 00:16:15,201
Matt: i’m pretty thrilled about this i’ve already scouted out like which parking

333
00:16:15,281 –> 00:16:17,761
Matt: structures a little further out that i can walk in from

334
00:16:19,521 –> 00:16:23,841
Matt: so yeah hopefully it’s uh it’s a pretty smooth in and out you know if the show’s

00:16:35,380 –> 00:16:36,380
339
00:16:36,561 –> 00:16:42,721
Matt: you know unless it’s it’s tony n and uh and sammy doing a tnt title match um i

340
00:16:42,801 –> 00:16:47,761
Matt: don’t really push myself to stay awake for much but um yeah it it should be fine

341
00:16:48,081 –> 00:16:53,281
Matt: i mean it you know at this point they’ve they’ve solidified most of wrestlemania

342
00:16:54,641 –> 00:16:58,721
Matt: so at least it’ll all be mostly progressive towards that

343
00:17:00,081 –> 00:17:05,041
Matt: other stuff from elimination chamber there wasn’t a whole lot of remarkable

344
00:17:05,861 –> 00:17:06,861
Matt: the pre

345
00:17:06,180 –> 00:17:07,180
346
00:17:06,641 –> 00:17:11,681
Matt: show match with miz and mysteria was actually a pretty good one no no real

347
00:17:11,921 –> 00:17:16,001
Matt: surprise there they’re both really talented dudes it did get some

348
00:17:17,841 –> 00:17:21,281
Matt: dominant distraction ending that is kind of their go to

349
00:17:23,521 –> 00:17:29,201
Matt: and lita and becky lynch was a pretty good one um outside of that you know it was

350
00:17:29,281 –> 00:17:30,481
Matt: just kind of standard fair

351
00:17:31,501 –> 00:17:32,501
Matt: or less

352
00:17:33,220 –> 00:17:34,220
353
00:17:34,481 –> 00:17:39,441
Matt: yeah i mean i i think that the biggest problem has become that there’s just

354
00:17:41,121 –> 00:17:42,721
Matt: there’s no surprise like

355
00:17:42,980 –> 00:17:43,980
356
00:17:43,121 –> 00:17:47,681
Matt: nobody went into that elimination chamber and thought anybody but bianco was

357
00:17:47,761 –> 00:17:53,441
Matt: gonna walk out of there as the the winner like nobody ex i i didn’t look at at

358
00:17:53,761 –> 00:17:57,761
Matt: vegas betting odds because i could have guaranteed it was like twelve thousand to

359
00:17:57,921 –> 00:18:02,321
Matt: one for everybody else in that match except for her and she was probably like a

360
00:18:02,401 –> 00:18:04,641
Matt: one to one odds on um

361
00:18:05,681 –> 00:18:09,761
Matt: like i i mean throw me a curve ball every now and then like

362
00:18:11,361 –> 00:18:16,961
Matt: id like to see i i get it you know the squash from summer slam now bianca gets to

363
00:18:17,201 –> 00:18:21,201
Matt: talk up her redemption even though she’s lost to becky like eighty seven times

364
00:18:21,441 –> 00:18:24,881
Matt: since since summer slam like there’s there’s nothing there

365
00:18:26,561 –> 00:18:29,921
Matt: if you couldn’t if you couldn’t get over the hump those other times why can you

366
00:18:29,921 –> 00:18:35,441
Matt: suddenly do it now after you’ve been through the most grueling match in wwe

367
00:18:35,301 –> 00:18:36,301
368
00:18:37,681 –> 00:18:41,201
Matt: i mean you’re going into this thing less than one hundred percent so nobody’s

369
00:18:41,101 –> 00:18:42,101
Matt: buying it um

370
00:18:43,041 –> 00:18:46,881
Matt: i mean i didn’t want i it’s the wrong time for liv morgan to get a wrestlemania

371
00:18:46,961 –> 00:18:50,161
Matt: moment cause you you turned her into a chump

372
00:18:51,361 –> 00:18:54,561
Matt: de do drop just lost um i mean

373
00:18:54,340 –> 00:18:55,340
374
00:18:54,801 –> 00:18:58,481
Matt: at least alexa bliss would have been a bit of a curve ball since she like just

375
00:18:58,641 –> 00:19:04,801
Matt: came back um i don’t it i i think that’s become the biggest problem is that it’s

376
00:19:05,601 –> 00:19:08,081
Matt: every detail of it is so predictable

377
00:19:09,601 –> 00:19:12,801
Matt: and i i’d love to just get a curve ball every now and then

378
00:19:14,960 –> 00:19:19,280
Jeremy: but like an earned curb also too not just like i don’t know i feel like

379
00:19:18,981 –> 00:19:19,981
Matt: i feel like

380
00:19:19,360 –> 00:19:22,160
Jeremy: all their curve balls are like black unless they’re showing up now

381
00:19:22,821 –> 00:19:23,821
Matt: well at legt

382
00:19:23,280 –> 00:19:24,720
Jeremy: in another match somehow

383
00:19:25,521 –> 00:19:29,441
Matt: you remember that the the intercontinental ladder match

384
00:19:30,480 –> 00:19:32,240
Jeremy: right it made me thirty two

385
00:19:30,721 –> 00:19:33,361
Matt: kevin owens daniel bryan were in there

386
00:19:35,121 –> 00:19:41,761
Matt: and then just out of nowhere zach ryder gets the win like give us that moment

387
00:19:42,181 –> 00:19:43,181

00:19:42,980 –> 00:19:43,980
389
00:19:43,761 –> 00:19:46,961
Matt: i i don’t know like they’re capable of it just do it

390
00:19:48,321 –> 00:19:50,001
Matt: and it amazes me

391
00:19:48,560 –> 00:19:53,040
Jeremy: well i mean i do those moments but they do those moments but it’s like the

Matt: about it and keith lee’s amazing anyways

517
00:24:38,501 –> 00:24:39,501
Matt: there’s a

518
00:24:41,041 –> 00:24:45,361
Matt: the fourth mat the the fourth qualifiers this week right um cause

519
00:24:45,441 –> 00:24:48,241
Matt: it’s how many guys or how many guys are in this match six

520
00:24:45,680 –> 00:24:46,800
Jeremy: i think so i mean it would

521
00:24:49,280 –> 00:24:50,800
Jeremy: i i wanna say six yeah

522
00:24:51,521 –> 00:24:55,761
Matt: okay so we’ve got a couple more qualifiers they’ll probably have to put since

523
00:24:55,841 –> 00:25:00,081
Matt: it’s a ladder match they’ll probably need to find a way to get some smaller guys

524
00:24:59,821 –> 00:25:00,821
Matt: in there

525
00:25:00,340 –> 00:25:01,340
526
00:25:02,561 –> 00:25:06,481
Matt: a little disappointed that dante martin’s eliminated because because he does some

527
00:25:06,881 –> 00:25:09,521
Matt: some just utterly amazing things and i’d like

528
00:25:09,220 –> 00:25:10,220
529
00:25:09,601 –> 00:25:11,601
Matt: to see him work with a ladder but

530
00:25:12,960 –> 00:25:18,960
Jeremy: we’re just seeing how high keith lee yedi it’s maybe be also a shame that he’s

531
00:25:18,960 –> 00:25:20,160
Jeremy: not in there either so

532
00:25:20,641 –> 00:25:22,561
Matt: that’s true he ate that bunk pretty well

533
00:25:24,501 –> 00:25:25,501
534
00:25:26,321 –> 00:25:30,881
Matt: you know it’s it’s funny cause and it’s it’s just because i i love him so much

535
00:25:32,561 –> 00:25:38,721
Matt: but the most notable thing in the last two weeks for me was the shadowy figure in

536
00:25:38,801 –> 00:25:40,401
Matt: the back of the house of black

537
00:25:41,441 –> 00:25:46,081
Matt: vignette that we got cause it was very clearly buddy matthews

538
00:25:48,241 –> 00:25:50,641
Matt: and i i popped like it i didn’t even

539
00:25:50,260 –> 00:25:51,260
540
00:25:50,721 –> 00:25:52,721
Matt: see his actual face and i popped for it

541
00:25:53,921 –> 00:25:58,241
Matt: i can’t wait that guys hell let’s get him in that match ’cause i’ve seen what he

542
00:25:58,261 –> 00:25:59,261
Matt: can do with with

543
00:26:00,321 –> 00:26:02,241
Matt: in those those cruiser type spots

544
00:26:04,081 –> 00:26:08,081
Matt: just yeah let’s let’s get him in there he’s strong enough that he can he can work

545
00:26:08,241 –> 00:26:09,761
Matt: the big moves on the big guys

546
00:26:09,620 –> 00:26:10,620
547
00:26:10,081 –> 00:26:13,361
Matt: and then he he can do the cruiser stuff too so that would that would be an

548
00:26:13,361 –> 00:26:16,081
Matt: awesome an awesome spot for him um

549
00:26:17,121 –> 00:26:19,841
Matt: yeah that that stood out pretty pretty hardcore

550
00:26:21,780 –> 00:26:22,780
Jeremy: and then we had

551
00:26:22,221 –> 00:26:23,221
Matt: i could

552
00:26:22,700 –> 00:26:23,700
Jeremy: we had

553
00:26:24,400 –> 00:26:28,640
Jeremy: you know we had the um we’ve got a dog collar match coming up which makes me real

554
00:26:28,720 –> 00:26:33,760
Jeremy: uncomfortable honestly i didn’t like watching the brodie lee um cody rhodes one

555
00:26:33,840 –> 00:26:37,280
Jeremy: which they mentioned a lot for for the fact that cody rhoads just left to come

556
00:26:37,440 –> 00:26:40,320
Jeremy: come they wanted to remind you that match existed

557
00:26:41,300 –> 00:26:42,300
558
00:26:41,701 –> 00:26:42,701
559
00:26:42,460 –> 00:26:43,460
Jeremy: yeah we

560
00:26:43,280 –> 00:26:47,360
Jeremy: got that coming up and then what i really like is really great promo battle

561
00:26:43,281 –> 00:26:46,321
Matt: you have to back up and then like

562
00:26:47,420 –> 00:26:48,420
Jeremy: between brian

563
00:26:48,181 –> 00:26:49,181
564
00:26:48,480 –> 00:26:49,600
Jeremy: danielson and max

565
00:26:50,540 –> 00:26:51,540
566
00:26:51,221 –> 00:26:52,221
Matt: particularly box

567
00:26:51,280 –> 00:26:56,800
Jeremy: max just he’s just great on the ma mike and so is so is danielson and basically

568
00:26:56,741 –> 00:26:57,741
569
00:26:57,920 –> 00:27:01,760
Jeremy: max has talked about how the fact he’s never actually beaten danielson

570
00:27:03,520 –> 00:27:04,880
Jeremy: but then you know talk about mi

571
00:27:04,421 –> 00:27:05,421
572
00:27:05,100 –> 00:27:06,100
Jeremy: maybe danielson is

573
00:27:06,080 –> 00:27:10,240
Jeremy: afraid that you know of mocks beating him and that’s why they’ve kind of changed

574
00:27:06,401 –> 00:27:09,601
Matt: b you know of the meetings and that one

575
00:27:10,240 –> 00:27:13,280
Jeremy: their he’s changed his mind about teaming with him instead but

576
00:27:17,620 –> 00:27:18,620
Jeremy: so we’re

577
00:27:18,560 –> 00:27:21,760
Jeremy: getting that match so i i liked how they they put it together

578
00:27:18,561 –> 00:27:20,081
Matt: yeah that this one

579
00:27:22,321 –> 00:27:26,641
Matt: that one’s gonna be brutal i don’t know when they’re gonna do that match because

580
00:27:26,721 –> 00:27:30,161
Matt: i i thought it would have been great if they ended up in one of these two uh

581
00:27:31,281 –> 00:27:33,201
Matt: tag team elimination matches

582
00:27:33,941 –> 00:27:34,941
583
00:27:35,521 –> 00:27:40,801
Matt: just to cause that that would that would be huge but i guess you need them to get

584
00:27:40,881 –> 00:27:43,521
Matt: that singles match out of the way on one of these cards

585
00:27:43,780 –> 00:27:44,780
586
00:27:44,801 –> 00:27:49,041
Matt: pay per view cards so it’s it’s it’s going to be in orlando it’s probably why the

587
00:27:49,121 –> 00:27:51,841
Matt: ticket prices have continued to rise instead of

588
00:27:51,700 –> 00:27:52,700
589
00:27:52,721 –> 00:27:57,201
Matt: dropping as we get closer to the date because yes i’m watching

590
00:27:58,401 –> 00:28:02,801
Matt: i don’t i don’t know how the hell to make it work but i have been watching ticket

591
00:28:02,821 –> 00:28:03,821
Matt: prices um

592
00:28:04,801 –> 00:28:10,401
Matt: so we’ll see we we both know that means i’m going one way or another um

593
00:28:11,601 –> 00:28:17,281
Matt: but yeah so we’re we’re heading towards that that was a great promo um and daniel

594
00:28:17,441 –> 00:28:24,241
Matt: since he worked here lately i i am beyond impressed um you know for the for the

595
00:28:23,860 –> 00:28:24,860
596
00:28:24,621 –> 00:28:25,621
Matt: the yes man

597
00:28:27,681 –> 00:28:30,401
Matt: that the heel work is is otherworldly

598
00:28:31,201 –> 00:28:36,321
Matt: watching him just stomp the out of everybody he gets in the ring with it it’s

599
00:28:31,260 –> 00:28:32,260
Jeremy: what ended

600
00:28:36,481 –> 00:28:37,601
Matt: it’s something special

601
00:28:39,440 –> 00:28:42,640
Jeremy: i think the what works really well is his him

602
00:28:42,581 –> 00:28:43,581
603
00:28:43,280 –> 00:28:44,560
Jeremy: the way he’s portraying that

604
00:28:44,181 –> 00:28:45,181
605
00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:47,200
Jeremy: it is that he doesn’t believe he’s a heel

606
00:28:47,701 –> 00:28:48,701
607
00:28:48,720 –> 00:28:53,600
Jeremy: like a lot of the people he’s wanting to bring together on a team together with

608
00:28:53,340 –> 00:28:54,340
609
00:28:55,200 –> 00:28:59,040
Jeremy: a lot of them there’s some of them are ill some of them are faces like so he’s he

610
00:28:59,120 –> 00:29:02,080
Jeremy: is not playing this like traditional heel face he is

611
00:29:01,621 –> 00:29:02,621
612
00:29:02,960 –> 00:29:06,000
Jeremy: he is doing heelish things but he believes that he is like a hundred percent

613
00:29:06,260 –> 00:29:07,260
Jeremy: right which i think is

614
00:29:06,741 –> 00:29:07,741
615
00:29:07,360 –> 00:29:08,400

691
00:32:56,420 –> 00:32:57,420
692
00:32:57,041 –> 00:33:01,841
Matt: but yeah there’s this great their whole entrance is fantastic their their

693
00:33:02,081 –> 00:33:05,841
Matt: presentation has been awesome i love the slick suits

694
00:33:06,881 –> 00:33:10,721
Matt: essentially it’s what andrade was trying to do the whole time and they just

695
00:33:10,781 –> 00:33:11,781
Matt: didn’t let him do it

696
00:33:13,441 –> 00:33:16,481
Matt: i mean the slick suits and then them they’re always together

697
00:33:17,921 –> 00:33:22,241
Matt: just regard you never see them apart and that’s what a factions supposed to look

698
00:33:22,401 –> 00:33:28,641
Matt: like um like hogan nash and hall were always together and that’s why the nwo

699
00:33:28,881 –> 00:33:32,161
Matt: worked as a unit uh it it’s it’s all appearances

700
00:33:33,841 –> 00:33:38,721
Matt: i i don’t know i i think they waited way too long to get escobar into this spot

701
00:33:39,841 –> 00:33:43,441
Matt: and and that’s disappointing because he probably could have had a couple of great

702
00:33:43,601 –> 00:33:45,921
Matt: title defenses had he got that belt sooner

703
00:33:47,841 –> 00:33:51,521
Matt: but yeah i mean the the show was good all the matches were solid i can’t think of

704
00:33:51,601 –> 00:33:53,441
Matt: a one that that wasn’t um

705
00:33:54,641 –> 00:34:00,321
Matt: so yeah it’s it’s n xt it’s it’s still you know for the most part it’s still your

706
00:34:00,801 –> 00:34:05,521
Matt: your indie guys killing themselves indie guys and and women because the women

707
00:34:05,140 –> 00:34:06,140
708
00:34:05,841 –> 00:34:12,001
Matt: have been the the shining star of nx t since two point zero started even the the

709
00:34:12,081 –> 00:34:18,721
Matt: weird gimmicks like the the the wrestler that wendy ch wendy chew i think that

710
00:34:18,801 –> 00:34:24,321
Matt: wrestles in a snuggie and like her gimmick is that she likes to nap like that

711
00:34:24,980 –> 00:34:25,980
712
00:34:26,321 –> 00:34:30,481
Matt: what it whatever she’s good in the ring so i’m good with it uh the tiffany

713
00:34:30,561 –> 00:34:32,881
Matt: stratton gimmick doesn’t necessarily work

714
00:34:34,561 –> 00:34:39,361
Matt: but she’s she’s decent in the ring too you’ve still got tons of talent with

715
00:34:40,561 –> 00:34:45,921
Matt: caley ray and and mandy rose is incredibly talented even though she’s got all

716
00:34:46,081 –> 00:34:47,361
Matt: those old diva vibes

717
00:34:49,121 –> 00:34:53,521
Matt: so yeah they’re they’re still doing they’re putting on good shows i really wish

718
00:34:53,601 –> 00:34:55,361
Matt: they weren’t at noon on saturdays but

719
00:34:56,400 –> 00:35:00,400
Jeremy: yeah the one thing i wish you know with some of these development people like you

720
00:35:00,480 –> 00:35:03,120
Jeremy: have promo class but they’re doing all these vignettes and stuff

721
00:35:05,200 –> 00:35:10,000
Jeremy: have some acting coach come over and just like have a week long session like some

722
00:35:10,080 –> 00:35:14,720
Jeremy: of these whatever that one was were about the friend zone and like they were in a

723
00:35:14,700 –> 00:35:15,700
Jeremy: bar which i guess

724
00:35:15,461 –> 00:35:16,461
725
00:35:15,760 –> 00:35:18,960
Jeremy: technically the that that actual wrestler is not even twenty one

726
00:35:20,400 –> 00:35:25,040
Jeremy: so like uh i don’t know man that just real rough and it was just like this is

727
00:35:25,200 –> 00:35:29,600
Jeremy: like first year film school like situation right now and i’m like i don’t want to

728
00:35:29,680 –> 00:35:32,400
Jeremy: watch this on on television so

729
00:35:32,641 –> 00:35:37,121
Matt: it’s and what what kills me is that it’s it’s not like they don’t have guys there

730
00:35:37,361 –> 00:35:38,801
Matt: that could help like

731
00:35:38,740 –> 00:35:39,740
732
00:35:39,681 –> 00:35:45,201
Matt: everything that cameron grimes and la knight did together was gold like so

733
00:35:45,281 –> 00:35:46,561
Matt: they’ve got people there that

734
00:35:46,260 –> 00:35:47,260
735
00:35:46,721 –> 00:35:50,721
Matt: could be that like if you don’t want to hire an acting coach which right now

736
00:35:50,801 –> 00:35:53,841
Matt: they’re not hiring anybody except overpriced part timers

737
00:35:55,361 –> 00:35:59,841
Matt: so if you need somebody to help coach this younger crop of talent in those things

738
00:36:00,081 –> 00:36:05,681
Matt: they’re there utilize them but yeah that that vignette in the bar that was hard

739
00:36:05,841 –> 00:36:06,961
Matt: to watch um

740
00:36:07,380 –> 00:36:08,380
741
00:36:08,161 –> 00:36:13,121
Matt: i mean as much as i love rachel gonzales that is her weakest point too um

742
00:36:12,820 –> 00:36:13,820
743
00:36:14,321 –> 00:36:15,921
Matt: cause she does not she never

744
00:36:15,980 –> 00:36:16,980
Jeremy: one zero

745
00:36:16,161 –> 00:36:21,521
Matt: comes across as as like that brutal mean bads that she’s trying to portray she

746
00:36:21,681 –> 00:36:22,881
Matt: just seems like a super

747
00:36:22,780 –> 00:36:23,780
Jeremy: there are down

748
00:36:23,041 –> 00:36:25,121
Matt: nice lady that happens to be jacked

749
00:36:26,100 –> 00:36:27,100
750
00:36:26,641 –> 00:36:31,441
Matt: so it’s like it i agree with you a hundred percent that that’s that’s the weakest

751
00:36:31,521 –> 00:36:33,361
Matt: part of nx is that they they need

752
00:36:35,761 –> 00:36:39,921
Matt: they’re they’re bringing in you know i don’t i don’t want to call them washed up

753
00:36:40,001 –> 00:36:44,161
Matt: football players but let let’s call it what it is a lot of the talent that gets

754
00:36:44,241 –> 00:36:45,441
Matt: brought in that’s what they are

755
00:36:47,041 –> 00:36:51,601
Matt: and they could use a little help ah cause you’re not going to find a lot of guys

756
00:36:51,681 –> 00:36:53,041
Matt: with gronk personality

757
00:36:53,460 –> 00:36:54,460
758
00:36:53,461 –> 00:36:54,461
759
00:36:55,041 –> 00:36:59,121
Matt: that that just show up for a a performance center try out so

760
00:37:00,020 –> 00:37:01,020
761
00:37:02,220 –> 00:37:03,220
Jeremy: well you know

762
00:37:04,060 –> 00:37:05,060
Jeremy: we’ll see what they

763
00:37:04,621 –> 00:37:05,621
764
00:37:04,960 –> 00:37:11,120
Jeremy: do i don’t really expect much to change but they’re they seem to be um just

765
00:37:11,100 –> 00:37:12,100
Jeremy: moving along with

766
00:37:11,541 –> 00:37:12,541
767
00:37:12,000 –> 00:37:15,280
Jeremy: two point zero and make making sure to remind you that we’re in development

768
00:37:15,541 –> 00:37:16,541
769
00:37:16,240 –> 00:37:17,680
Jeremy: this is a development it was a

770
00:37:17,221 –> 00:37:18,221
771
00:37:17,760 –> 00:37:20,560
Jeremy: cool enty super show before and now it’s development

772
00:37:20,901 –> 00:37:21,901
Matt: you want that

773
00:37:21,120 –> 00:37:22,400
Jeremy: which is just a little sad

774
00:37:23,201 –> 00:37:26,641
Matt: you you want that shit you should have been watching ring of honor

775
00:37:27,220 –> 00:37:28,220
776
00:37:28,241 –> 00:37:29,281
Matt: i i i’m still

777
00:37:29,941 –> 00:37:30,941
778
00:37:31,841 –> 00:37:36,001
Matt: i i don’t get it it was it was wildly successful all of the

779
00:37:35,860 –> 00:37:36,860
780
00:37:36,081 –> 00:37:42,561
Matt: takeovers sold out arenas so there’s one night a week that that you do a little

781
00:37:42,721 –> 00:37:44,081
Matt: less on tv like

782
00:37:45,201 –> 00:37:49,361
Matt: it’s even when nx t was like peaking it was not

783
00:37:50,481 –> 00:37:55,361
Matt: it wasn’t your big brands you didn’t roman reins and brock lesnar were not going

784
00:37:55,441 –> 00:37:56,481
Matt: to show up on nx t

785
00:37:57,921 –> 00:38:01,601
Matt: you can’t expect nx t to have smackdown ratings

786
00:38:02,721 –> 00:38:05,761
Matt: like it it just was never gonna happen and that’s what they thought

787
00:38:07,681 –> 00:38:12,321
Matt: meanwhile you’re you’re putting you know you your indie darling show that you

788
00:38:12,401 –> 00:38:17,601
Matt: know you have a substantial fan base for up against a show that can parade out

789
00:38:17,761 –> 00:38:24,241
Matt: chris jericho and sting shows up and you honestly it got to the point there early

790
00:38:24,401 –> 00:38:29,441
Matt: on where you didn’t know who would show up in aw that’s why you lost the ratings

791
00:38:29,061 –> 00:38:30,061
792
00:38:30,660 –> 00:38:31,660
793
00:38:31,201 –> 00:38:32,721
Matt: shock and all um

794
00:38:34,081 –> 00:38:38,241
Matt: you know you as a wrestling fan even if you didn’t know who any of these guys

795
00:38:38,321 –> 00:38:44,161
Matt: were you’d heard kenny omega ‘s name for years xavier woods has been saying it

796
00:38:44,241 –> 00:38:45,601
Matt: for years so

797
00:38:46,100 –> 00:38:47,100
798
00:38:47,201 –> 00:38:51,761
Matt: like you were tuning in to see these things that you’d heard about for so long

799
00:38:52,801 –> 00:38:57,041
Matt: and we watched n xt on our dvrs it’s not like we weren’t watching what you were

800
00:38:56,981 –> 00:38:57,981
Matt: putting out there

801
00:38:58,580 –> 00:38:59,580
802
00:38:59,681 –> 00:39:03,921
Matt: so i don’t know it the mentality seems flawed um

803
00:39:05,041 –> 00:39:09,361
Matt: you know you’re not losing ratings on your main show because your talent isn’t

804
00:39:09,681 –> 00:39:14,161
Matt: you know ultimate warrior you losing talent or you’re losing ratings on your main

805
00:39:14,241 –> 00:39:20,401
Matt: show because your main show sucks and you’re n xt now is going to look just like

806
00:39:20,561 –> 00:39:26,241
Matt: that so n xt is gonna suck and nobody’s gonna watch that it’s i i don’t know i

807
00:39:26,241 –> 00:39:27,281
Matt: don’t and now we’ve

808
00:39:28,401 –> 00:39:32,721
Matt: did you see that two hundred five live is officially gone and rebranded as

809
00:39:32,961 –> 00:39:34,801
Matt: essentially nx d dark

810
00:39:36,001 –> 00:39:37,441
Matt: nx d dark elevation

811
00:39:36,480 –> 00:39:37,600
Jeremy: nx level up

812
00:39:38,900 –> 00:39:39,900
813
00:39:39,141 –> 00:39:40,141
814
00:39:39,300 –> 00:39:40,300
815
00:39:40,801 –> 00:39:43,281
Matt: it’s their version of dark elevation so

816
00:39:45,361 –> 00:39:49,761
Matt: whatever at least they at least they’re not trying to limp two oh five live along

817
00:39:51,361 –> 00:39:54,721
Matt: to the point where they completely tarnish everything that it did accomplish

818
00:39:56,321 –> 00:39:58,961
Matt: to i i don’t know i don’t know what the hell they’re doing

819
00:40:00,720 –> 00:40:04,160
Jeremy: i almost wish it was like some kind of like metaverse bullshit where the only way

820
00:40:04,240 –> 00:40:06,880
Jeremy: you could watch it was in an oculus rift or something like that

821
00:40:08,161 –> 00:40:13,201
Matt: that honestly i would if if you just had guys randomly sitting in the audience

822
00:40:13,281 –> 00:40:17,121
Matt: with those headsets on that fill it like that foo fighters concert the other

823
00:40:17,281 –> 00:40:18,321
Matt: night that would have

824
00:40:18,020 –> 00:40:19,020
825
00:40:18,401 –> 00:40:23,281
Matt: been cool like i would i would sit and watch nx t through my oculus that it kind

826
00:40:23,341 –> 00:40:24,341
Matt: of feel like i was there

827
00:40:25,441 –> 00:40:29,441
Matt: the the sound on that thing’s so loud it’s like you’re actually in a damn room uh

828
00:40:29,421 –> 00:40:30,421
Matt: five nights at

829
00:40:29,860 –> 00:40:30,860
830
00:40:30,241 –> 00:40:33,361
Matt: freddy’s on the oculus is the most terrifying ever

831
00:40:34,640 –> 00:40:38,800
Jeremy: e i can’t even i just i just watch lets plays of people watch playing that game

832
00:40:39,040 –> 00:40:43,120
Jeremy: on youtube i don’t even play the game i can’t handle it so

833
00:40:42,381 –> 00:40:43,381
Matt: you know it’s and

834
00:40:44,301 –> 00:40:45,301

00:40:58,480 –> 00:41:01,840
Jeremy: kenny omega where he talks about the whole cody situation quite a bit and i

839
00:41:01,920 –> 00:41:04,320
Jeremy: thought it was really interesting and they kind of talk about how like

840
00:41:04,560 –> 00:41:09,120
Jeremy: professionally they were really you know they were everything was good there uh

841
00:41:09,340 –> 00:41:10,340
Jeremy: but like they didn’t really

00:41:09,941 –> 00:41:10,941
843
00:41:10,400 –> 00:41:12,560

845
00:41:12,640 –> 00:41:17,520
Jeremy: and i was like and omega said he’s not the type of person that i you know after

00:41:31,761 –> 00:41:35,361
Matt: yeah this pet pepsi pepsi in general is just garbage

850
00:41:36,721 –> 00:41:40,801
Matt: sorry to everyone in the second city that thinks it’s the holy grail of soft

851

Matt: that whole response that he gave i found it i found it interesting because i and

857
00:41:59,841 –> 00:42:05,201
Matt: you know it it may just be that when it’s coming from an actual wrestler i do try

858
00:42:05,361 –> 00:42:07,041
Matt: to read between some of the lines

859
00:42:08,321 –> 00:42:14,081
Matt: he basically seemed like he was saying we started this one way and now we’ve all

860
00:42:14,241 –> 00:42:20,721
Matt: lost creative control to tony and cody is just the most not okay with it is how i

861
00:42:20,881 –> 00:42:22,801
Matt: read a lot of that um

862
00:42:23,140 –> 00:42:24,140
863
00:42:24,001 –> 00:42:28,561
Matt: it it sort of seemed like he basically said like you know me and the young bucks

864
00:42:28,641 –> 00:42:33,521
Matt: are here for the long haul like we we wouldn’t just jump ship and go over there

865
00:42:34,801 –> 00:42:40,001
Matt: but he he himself didn’t necessarily seem like he was terribly thrilled with all

866
00:42:40,081 –> 00:42:44,161
Matt: of their creative control being like actively taken from them

867
00:42:45,700 –> 00:42:46,700
868
00:42:46,641 –> 00:42:48,001
Matt: right yeah i agree

869
00:42:46,960 –> 00:42:52,240
Jeremy: and i i do you know on one hand it was it it was its own thing but he did to talk

870
00:42:52,320 –> 00:42:55,680
Jeremy: about how like they had their own like different programs and stuff going on and

871
00:42:55,760 –> 00:42:59,840
Jeremy: cody was over there in the cody verse is what they said what he said and

872
00:43:01,040 –> 00:43:04,080
Jeremy: you know those first few months of shows there were some great

873
00:43:04,021 –> 00:43:05,021
874
00:43:04,320 –> 00:43:06,800
Jeremy: shows like that very first one but then there was just it was just

875
00:43:06,461 –> 00:43:07,461
Matt: it was

876
00:43:06,880 –> 00:43:11,440
Jeremy: wildly inconsistent until kind of like what into some point in twenty twenty

877
00:43:11,300 –> 00:43:12,300
878
00:43:13,360 –> 00:43:15,200
Jeremy: tk i guess took complete control

879
00:43:15,780 –> 00:43:16,780
880
00:43:16,561 –> 00:43:18,721
Matt: yeah i don’t know i think it’s better

881
00:43:17,040 –> 00:43:20,080
Jeremy: i don’t know i think it is better for for all of that but

882
00:43:19,621 –> 00:43:20,621
883
00:43:21,840 –> 00:43:26,480
Jeremy: it’s uh you know i can see how that could be uh disappointing uh but on the other

884
00:43:26,300 –> 00:43:27,300
Jeremy: hand you

885
00:43:26,501 –> 00:43:27,501
886
00:43:26,960 –> 00:43:29,520
Jeremy: know tony kana is putting up all the money so

887
00:43:30,001 –> 00:43:36,801
Matt: yeah oh i i think that and i i’ve pointed it out a handful of times that

888
00:43:38,881 –> 00:43:43,521
Matt: it’s just like wb it’s when when one guy at the top is making all the creative

889
00:43:43,601 –> 00:43:46,081
Matt: decisions its repetition you see

890
00:43:45,860 –> 00:43:46,860
891
00:43:46,401 –> 00:43:51,921
Matt: a lot of the same match finishes and you see the majority of these feuds just go

892
00:43:52,081 –> 00:43:53,761
Matt: through the same progressions and

893
00:43:55,461 –> 00:43:56,461
Matt: i don’t know i

894
00:43:57,761 –> 00:44:00,401
Matt: i i like the idea of having more voices at the table

895
00:44:01,441 –> 00:44:06,561
Matt: here’s hoping that control your narrative is a wildly successful promotion

896
00:44:08,081 –> 00:44:12,881
Matt: i’ still i’m still convinced that that’s where cody’s going that ec three and

897
00:44:13,441 –> 00:44:18,801
Matt: formerly stroman now adam she have teamed up with cody used his connections to

898
00:44:18,881 –> 00:44:19,921
Matt: get their tv deal

899
00:44:21,281 –> 00:44:26,241
Matt: and they’re just gonna it’s the only way he’ll have creative control somewhere so

900
00:44:27,041 –> 00:44:28,081
Matt: i don’t know that would be

901
00:44:27,780 –> 00:44:28,780
902
00:44:28,161 –> 00:44:29,601
Matt: fun funny for the

903
00:44:31,201 –> 00:44:32,401
Matt: i’m excited for that

904
00:44:31,440 –> 00:44:35,680
Jeremy: i mean people were talking about people were talking about the fact that that

905
00:44:37,120 –> 00:44:41,840
Jeremy: that uh dusty did the same same thing well you go somewhere you would have some

906
00:44:42,000 –> 00:44:46,640
Jeremy: degree of booking power he would lose a said booking power and then he would

907
00:44:46,720 –> 00:44:50,000
Jeremy: go somewhere where he had even less booking power but then he got a whole bunch

908
00:44:46,721 –> 00:44:49,201
Matt: minutes we get less know

909
00:44:50,000 –> 00:44:53,200
Jeremy: of money and then he would start to cycle over again so

910
00:44:53,141 –> 00:44:54,141
911
00:44:53,360 –> 00:44:58,560
Jeremy: wwe could be a very short term run in this and you know maybe one ring of honor

912
00:44:58,640 –> 00:45:01,680
Jeremy: gets back off the ground but i think that would be a better idea i think break

913
00:45:01,920 –> 00:45:06,720
Jeremy: that cycle that your dad dad created and and just go like hey like r a runner

914
00:45:06,720 –> 00:45:10,880
Jeremy: i’ll be your head booker a spot that marty scr very briefly just

Jeremy: you know it’s it i feel like he could go there he could work with ec three

922
00:45:29,200 –> 00:45:33,680
Jeremy: there’s a lot of things you could do but i guess he’s going to wwe the biggest

923
00:45:33,260 –> 00:45:34,260
924
00:45:33,381 –> 00:45:34,381
