Welcome Back CM Punk and Memorial Day Wrestling Weekend Recaps | The Still Real to Us Show | Episode #694 – 6/1/23

0:00 It's still up. Welcome everybody. Welcome to This week's edition is snow Real Go Show episode number six hundred ninety four for June one, twenty twenty three. Welcome to your Tie United Champions, an XT Battle, Brownie a w Double or Nothing recap and review, EDI Show of ass of to you. I am one half the show. I am Jeff Pack joined every single week to my cost one only. Doctor Try Franklin, Doctor try, I see you're wearing. I survived fifteen hours of wrestling programming my friend. Yeah, it's it's a quote aligned from the Hangover, But did you die? Like that's kind of how I felt coming into actually Thursday, because literally wrestling Saturday, wrestling Sunday, wrestling on Monday, wrestling on Tuesday, wrestling on Wednesday, And uh yeah I survived this um and I didn't die. So that's always about his points. I guess that. I mean, it'd be hard to do the pote the podcast with the ghost of Trey Franklin. No, that would be that would be very difficult. I watched Night of Champions, I watched Anexty, Battleground, AW Double or Nothing, Raw, n xt AW, Dynamite, and then just to spice things up here a little bit, Doctor Trey. I watched Most Wanted Treasures, w Most Wanted Treasures on

1:33 an E, Sonhold Takes on America on A and E, and I watched the season debut of Vice's Dark Side of the Ring with Tammy Sitch and Chris Candido. So I was like fully in through all the Profreshion wrestling programming over the last week. Highly recommend the Dark Side of the Ring stuff for those who have never watched it. But yeah, I guess we won't recap the final three, but we definitely have a lot of stuff to recap in the first three. Doctor Trey. Lots of wrestling this past weekend, and of course it was a Memorial Day. Also, did you watch You didn't watch the show that came on after Dynamite, The Hulk Hogan. I didn't. I did not, So actually it's funny you say that. So I watched Dynamite on DVR a little bit of a delay and it cut into that show and I was like, crap, I did not DVR it. I made it all the way through. Now, mind you, I haven't been sleeping much. Okay, he is pregnant for those one ring oh god, I can only dream. I mean, I'd make a lot of money off that.

2:38 So I made it. It was almost like do you remember the old VH one behind the Music Store like show? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm old. Remember we just had this discussion off air. We're both old. I do remember those. So it was kind of done like that, like they don't interview Hogan, they're interviewing Flair. They're interviewing like the writer of the unauthorized biography. They're they're interviewing and the Rate characters to Hogan's life. So I made it all the way up through where the sex tape came out, and then I was like, okay, I'm doing I can only take so much Bubba the Love Sponge on my TV at one point and I was like, yeah, I'm done. We're good for now. So would you recommend me watching it if you like the sensationalism because they referenced the sex tape, they referenced the you know in words stuff like they referenced the Rate well, the racist rant however you want to phrase it. They reference all that stuff, and then I don't know how it ended, Like the first half was really good. This shows some old footage of Hogan from the seventies and early eighties, and they chronicle the run of there. But once they got into the sensationalism of the Hogan sex tape and the racist rant, I was like, yeah, it's it's I'm wrestling doubt so I am going too bad and dream about wrestling. So it sounds like, no, I should not watch it. It's not. I mean, if you're comparing it to like, I mean, we love the Vice stuff the Dark Side, it's amazing. I don't think there's been a bad episode of Dark Side of the Ring yet that I've seen. So if you're comparing it, it's like watching

4:11 if it's watching a documentary that you're really into, versus the v H one behind the music stuff. Okay, all right, good stuff, good stuff, all right, I'll have to see and potentially check that out. Highly recommend The Dark Side of the Ring. By the way, Chris Candino story incredibly sad, and I forgot how incredibly it's sad sad it was until I rewatched it recently and the first episode of this past Tuesday over on a Vice, which I guess could be going bankrupt soon or is bankrupt at this point. Lots to cover here on this week's This Show. Let's start chronologically. We'll go to Saturday, Doctor Trey nine of Champions recab and review this past Saturday from Jetta Superdome in Jetta, Saudi Arabia, and I'll just start it out. Well, maybe I'll save it towards the end. Let's get to the first match. Seth Freaking Roll Defeast aj Styles in the tournament final to win the inaugural w World Await Championship. You and I both had Seth Frank and Rons again the victory. Solid match that felt like this result was a foregone conclusion all along. Seth Rons is a world champion again, and I am here for it. Doctor Trey. Yeah, like SE's one of our favorite characters on TV right now. I don't know if I can say this match delivered just because of the fact that, you know, it's a little bit it wasn't as good like the foregot the conclusion was there, so to speak, Yeah, yeah, it was. It just it just always felt like it was gonna be Cody or Seth Frank and Rons. I guess is where I sit on it? Sorry, they're making me move my vehicle.

5:42 Oh, no problem, who who is making you move to your vehicle? So apparently, so I stopped at a target to record the podcast on the way home, and I guess they're about to repave the concrete. So the workers are like, hey, weird guy on the phone in an suv, can you please leave your vehicle to the other park a lot? And it was a guy who spoke very very little English, so I had to acquiesce to his request. That's I'm going to leave this in this podcast. So usually we edit stuff like this out, but I think we leave this one in because it was like, I'm like, do we lose them? No, it's not as good. It's not as good as the policeman. But now like it's not as good as say, this might be top four, but this is not good as Sammy assaulting me or the police. But when you have a hispanic what is that noise? I don't know what that always is? What is that? Oh? Apparently got an email? Nothing all day? And then of course I get this guy and then the emails um shows going off the rails here, folks, Oh, I know quickly this is this is like I survived. This podcast should be the T shirt.

6:45 I'm wearing it all right, let's get to h Let's get to the next match here, Doctor Trey tris Stradis defeats Becky Lynch. You and I bought that tristradis good match. Really like the addition of Zoe Start to this feud and getting involved in the match to help Trish. Did not see that comment. I'm a fan of Zoe Stark, so I liked what I saw. Good match this past Saturday night. Yeah, I really enjoyed the match. I love the Zoe Start pairing because for a lot of the younger fans, they don't are the fans, they don't want to Anstey don't only know her, but not just that, but she looks like a version of Trish. She looks like a little bit younger Jack Verger or Trish where they staying side by side, So I loved it. Plus this also they could also bring Leda back into the picture because we could get Becky and Leda versus Zoe and Trish as well. So that makes my heart happy as well. Next match here is Gunther defeating Mustafa Ali to retain the w Intercontinental Championship. We both had Gunther very entertaining match. Mustafa Ali looked like a star and I don't know when the last time we saw a bad match from Gunther. So great match Gunther mustaf Ali, who later showed up on NXE television this past week.

7:44 I guess hess I set on the North American Championship in Wesley. Loved this match, Doc Tree, it was a lot of fun. No fantastic match. Doesn't have a bad match. This also to me, this reminded me of Rhan Zalina from you know, the previous pay per viewer, like over with the crowd. They had to make him look good. You still got the heel champion winning, but Mustafa comes out look. The only thing I question is Mustafa comes out looking really strong and then he gets sent to NXT Like that makes kind of question the thought process behind him, so I question that as well. And then he made mention that he's a free agent. I was like, that's interesting, and they did play off of his match with Gunther going for the Intercontinental Championship that he wants more opportunities at gold.

8:26 He's a free agent. We saw who attacked Carmelo Hayes at the end of NXC television that we'll talk about here. Later on, So I thought from a storyline standpoint and actually made sense. But I could see your understanding, like, Okay, he goes from Icy title to maybe the North American Championship. But I think it does help elevate NXC some when you have the most recent Intercontinental Championship challenger down in NXT going after one of their championships. Yeah. I mean, we saw it with Dolf last year doing that and helping Guy. We see you with Apollo, So it's a formula. It's worked. It was just like you said, like going from the Intercontal title to now I guess the NXT version of the Intercontal title the North American title is kind of to me a step backwards. And at this point, I just I think I think they're trying to figure out what to do with Mustafa because the positive Ali gimmick didn't really work, the retribution gimmick didn't work.

9:18 The only one that people really got behind was the iron man gimmick that he was kind of doing for a while, you know, during the two oh five Live days, and he's just I think he's a star. I'm a Mustaf Ali fan, and wherever he ends up, if he gets more television time and more match time. I'm here for it, so happy for him. Oscar defeats Bianca Belair to win the w W RAW Woman's Championship. I had Oscar Doctor Trey Bianca Belair. I liked to finish with Oscar sprain that miss on our hands to blind Bianca during the ko D spot. This was the right call, as Bianca's title ran was kind of getting a little bit stale Doctor Trey, what say you? Yeah, You're absolutely right. I had Bianca winning because it was the John Cena factor, like until she loses. I just didn't see her losing. I love the finish I have.

10:00 I've seen I saw the great kabuky do that in like nineteen eighty three, so I love that. It's just a long throwback to the mist on the hands to help get the win. So made a ton of sense. Oscar is a heel, so she has to cheat to win. And then now you get to see if Bianca can rise back with the rank or if they end up flipping her heel. Perhaps maybe at some point m SO tuned. Next match, here's Riha Ripley defeating Natalia to retain the WI Smack to him it's championship. We both at Ria Ripley disappointing match that reflected the bill for this feud very well. As always with a result like this, it'll be interesting if this leads to anything for Riha and Natty. Did not see anything on RAW. We'll see if anything further happens. Just hate to see Nattie get jobbed out like this unless there's some sort of storyline behind it. Yeah, and I hated it because A it makes Natty look bad because you got distracted by Dom and then b doesn't do anything for Rea, Like Ria had to beat Natty really quickly with the help from Dodd, So it's like it doesn't really benefit either person going forward. So just hated it, really really hated it. Next match here is brock Lesnar feeding Cody Rhodes. We both had brock Lessner entertaining match that told the great story. I like where this is heading for Cody Rhodes, and this feud has really been impressive in helping continue to grow Cody as a character, especially following the night after Russellmany people did not like it. I'm liking this, Doctor Trey. Your thoughts, Yeah, I really enjoyed this match, one of Brock's better matches he's had in a while. I love the cast stuff. I love that in the beginning he was trying to fight alarmed, then he realized he could use the

11:31 cast like it all made a ton of sense and really worked and so great storytelling. And this is what we talk about. Cody has to have obstacles to overcome, and he's got a big one that he has overcome heading into SummerSlam season. And then finally the main event here, Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane defeat Roman Rains and Solo Sitoa to retain the undisputed WE Tag Team Championship. We both had Ko and Sammy get the victory. The finish of this match was really good. The USO's accidentally super kicking Solo the first thing Roman Rain saw to Roman pushing Jay around to these superkicks from Jimmy. It was all very well done, leading to Sammy and Kevin retaining. I officially think Jay usso Met may be the most compelling wrestling character in the entire industry, as he is once again torn when it comes to his relationship with a bloodline.

12:20 Like Great Match Love, the Finnish Great clothes, compelling stuff. Can't wait to see where this heads on Friday night SmackDown, Doctor Trey. Your thoughts, my friend, Yeah, loved it, Love the entrances. I love Sammy coming out and speaking Arabic. Love the whole match. Loved the finish, Like, this is just great storytelling. And you're right, like, I love that it's Jimmy that turned on Roman and that Jay is torn again, like and he does. He may be one of the top five wrestlers with facial expressions in the business a day. Just great storytelling, great character work. And then you're right. Now, I have to watch SmackDown to add to my collection of wrestling this week to see what happens with the bloodline because of how that match ended. Yeah, it's it's great stuff.

13:09 You know, I do question, Doctor Trey, is it somewhat too much? Sometimes? Because it was reminiscent of the Sam Musane stuff from the Royal Rumble. But this time Jimmy was siding with Roman, and it wasn't that long ago where you know, Jimmy was on the side of Roman and making them choose, and you know, Roman basically pushed him and his brother around following WrestleMania, Like I do question, is it, like is it too much throwing shit at the wall, But it's just so damn good. They execute it so darned well and it's enjoyable. But I do question, like, like I said, I do question is if it's too much sometimes? And then they still haven't touched on the solo angle of it, with solo actually being Jimmy and Jay's brother. Yeah, yeah, that's another layer to the story that could still take you. My issue was maybe the turnaround time was too quick. Maybe we should have waited another month for this December before pointing the trick has only it's only been yeah, a couple of months as WrestleMania, that's only a couple of months after you know, Sammy did his turn because elimination Chamber was in February. So is it too soon for all of these people's turning against Roman. But hey, empires have to crumble to then get rebuilt someday, So maybe they're like, hey, if we're going to tear it down, let's just tear it down to you know, just the bricks in the mortar. The beauty of this feud and the beauty of that moment at the close of Night of Champions Is it took me back to Helen a Cell twenty twenty when it was Jus versus Roman Rains and Jimmy, who was hurt at the time, came in the ring and that was like

14:41 the beginning of Jay and Jimmy siding with Roman, and it was like, this is what you should have done a long time ago. Like the storylines has just made sense. And the callbacks even three years later, whether it was intentional or not by de Wust part just it's it's so well written, and I think it's forgotten because the head of creative at the time from w was a different person than it is now with Triple h at the Helm versus Vincent the Helm, even though Bruce Pritchard was someone and you know, heavily involved as well. I just like the callbacks. I like how they tie things up. I like the full circle stuff. I love the fan theories about it, like those are always the cool things about stories that we all see, whether it's for those that are you know, fans of Ted Lasso and that his season just end recently and people are coming up with theories Mandalorian anything, Star Wars, whatever, like fans always make up their own theories, and that's what w has done with his feud. And I don't ever remember a storyline like this where you have fan theories as to what you're seeing and what people are thinking. Like it's it's heavily enjoyable. Yeah, so in your mind, what what is the big what's the payoff? I mean, there's gotta be a one on one match. There's gotta be a payoff, is it? I do? I think the payoff is Jay Usso And I mean this is this is for a story for another day and maybe we talk about it at greater length on next week sins the show, but the stories are out there right now that the plan still is for Cody versus Roman and Wrestlemanning of forty next year, Like that's still the plan. And in

16:15 my mind, it's like, all right, well, Cody's not going to lose two in a row to Roman and wrestle Maning, Like that's when they when they pull the trigger and we have a new champion, I would think. But um, it's like, you know, I'm starting to think like this could beat the breakout for Juso. I never saw the usos as the Heart Foundation or the Rockers or the Hardy Boys or Edging Christian where one of the two members of the you know, one of the members of that team, legendary team becomes a world champion or a main event player. And I think Jay Usso has that capability. Like the fans, I don't think there's anybody that's more compelling and captivating right now and relatable to the fans and Jay Uso and in any wrestling organization right now. I think the fans are have more close sincere feelings with Jay Usso than any wrestler in the entire company now into all of wrestling. Yeah, and I think the crazy part of as I don't. I think the fans relate to Jay Usso, but they don't know how to feel about Jayuso. Yeah, yeah, ntil will until we see it, right, I mean, Sammy's done it, Jimmy's done it is solo next? When does Jay? Maybe? The compelling storyline here is we were waiting for Sammy to pull the trigger for all the entire time?

17:34 Is it now? Jay? Is Jay the one that pulls the trigger? And does Jay side with Roman? Tomorrow night on SmackDown, Friday Night on SmackDown and then feuge with his brother for a little bit, and then he in three four months from now, pulls the trigger like what's it going to take? And I think that's where everybody's kind of watch right now. The feeling is very reminiscent of Sammy that Jay eventually turns on Roman, and that reaction from the fans may be bigger than Sammy and Roman from Royal Rumble. So great show overall. I went seven out Dot Trey went six and one. Coming out of the show, I went forty three and fifteen Doctor Troy thirty nine and nineteen. Match of the Night and event rating. I gave nxc xcuse me w Knight of Champions four point one out of five, and I gave Sammy, Sandy, Kevin Owens taking on Roman, Range and soloticoa my Match of the night, Doctor Trey, what say you? I went a little lower. I was three point nine. I thought it was a really solid show. Obviously the finishingly great. The rest stuff kind of pulled it down a little bit for me. My match, I know I did.

18:34 I went with Gunther and mustaf Ali. I love the crowd for that match. I mean, I mean obviously the main event match. The crowd was really into it. But mustaf Ali getting a chance to shine and then having a great match with Gunther. He power bombed Gunther for crying out loud. That was incredible. So I gave it to Gunther and mustaf Ali for the for match of the night. And I was going to mention this at the top, but I'll mention it now um off until we recap the show. These Saudi Arabia shows are just like a regular wrestling, you know, premium life event. Now, there was a period of time where it just felt like a throwaway. It's like, up, here's the Monsoor match, here's the legend that the Saudi Arabian officials want to see. It's Goldberg versus Undertaker, It's Bray Wyatt versus Goldberger, gets Dax reuniting, It's the Brothers and Destructions. It's a legit show. Now, dout Trey and Propositivity.

19:25 We for giving us a legit show and not something that's just a throwaway. Not to mention like a couple of things. I know. It is like, hey, they've changed the seatings. Remember early on they had the big giant like throne looking chair, they had like couches. Yeah, yeah, Now, I mean they look like a wrestling show at a strip club. Basically early on it was weird. It looks more like an actual event. And then also we're at a point now they had three women's matches on that show, like how far has this? How far has w become in Saudi Arabia to have three women's matches when we could barely get one early on, we just had three. It was fantastic, Yeah, it was. It was a rat show overall, really enjoyable, and that takes us to Sunday Night now. NXE Battleground recap review of this past Sunny from the Songa Center in Lowe, Massachusetts. First match was west Lee defeating Tyler Bit and Joe Gayzy and a triple threat match to retain the NXCY North American Championship. We both at Joe Gacy such an enjoyable triple threat match. Westlee continues to prove me wrong during the North American Championship title rain. I don't think I've picked him once, suck to try, and I think I should keep it that way. I think Westlee, it would be happy if you stop, if you just kept not picking him to win. I'm mad because typically I always picked Wesley and I didn't because I thought Joe Gayzy really needed to win.

20:41 It was a great I really enjoyed the match. I don't I don't know about you. I don't know how I feel about Tyler Bate right now. You think about Tyler Bate from now to four years ago when he won the first UK title to where he's at now. I just I don't feel like he's been elevated like. I don't think he's any better now than he was four years In fact, he's probably a stepped down from where he was, so that's a little discerning. Although he does have like the Chris Hemsworth hair and mustatch thing going on right now, he does, he certainly does. Next match. There's no I'm Dard fitting Dragon Lee in a British Rounds Rules match Retaine the NX Heritage Cup. I had Dragon lead, doubt Trey and No i'm Dar. It looks like No I'm Dar has himself a stable now and I'm not sure if the British Rounds Rules match played well to a live US crowd at Battle Brown. I did enjoy these matches in Axe UK, but it didn't seem like the crowd was enjoying it. Doctor Try. I don't think the crowd really knew the rules. You know, we're not like, we're not accustomed to this stuff. And although they put it on screen for the at home audience, I don't really know if they did that for the in ring crowd. So, and they didn't do it on the actual introductions. So I think this is one of the things that people are going to have, much like the all that the Grand Championship they had an impact years ago. You know, it's like it's gonna take a little while for people to really kind of figure it out, figure out how it works, all those things. Because I was still getting kind of lost because I didn't really follow it in NXT or in NXTUK. So even I was like, wait, so if they get two falls, it's over, like, but if it's tied, they don't go to the route like. It was a

22:14 little bit kind of confusing at first, and you know, so I'm still like, okay, give me another one, give me another one, and then once I get the hang of it, I'll be fine with it. Yeah, it does take a little bit. I think they should have done more of those matches on NXEC television to get fans ready. To be honest, I think there's only one, so yeah, they should have done more heritage cut matches. Elia dragon offf defeats Daijack in a last man standy match. I had Elia dot Trey a Dijack, really good compelling match. I had a great storytelling him. The only thing is I wish they had a little bit more time to play it out. Eli defeats Daijack Doctor Trey. Yeah, I really enjoyed this match. Elia Dragonof was one of like polarizing figures for me when it comes to wrestling because he's so small, but yet he's so freaking brutal. Sometimes I'm like, is that believable? Like, but he's just so entertaining to watch. Um, I don't know about you.

23:06 Like, but when Djack came out and like pointed out his wife and his kid and told her to like, hey, he doesn't need they don't even see this, I was kind of hoping for an interaction with dragging off with them. But overall, like the brutality of this match man was just second to none, Like those Kendos stick shots in the corner man, it was killer, so I really enjoyed it. I you know, five more minutes of it maybe would have paid off a little bit more. But overall, man, it was a really really fun match to watch and just super brutal. Next matches Gallasafeed and the Creed Brothers to retain an exec Tag Team championship by the Gallast trade the Creed Brothers solid tag match. I would have preferred a different finish than av attack in Ivy Now Nile to distract the Creed Brothers leading to the loss, but they did follow it up on NXEC television the next two nights, Tuesday Night, Gallasafeeds the Creeds out to try.

23:56 Yeah, this is this is my Westley thing. I'm not picking the Creeds any more. So ye welcome, welcome to the club. Yeah. Just when I get on board with them, then they let me down. So but I do love Gallas. I mean, Gallas reminds me of some of these indie tag teams I see out there, because they don't look like your prototypical WW wrestlers. They just two big, strong, tough guys that just beat the crap out each other. I mean, watching that match, I mean those belly of bellies that Julius was throwing. I'm like, you were not getting a Suplex City reference here, nothing like that. Like he was just tossing those boys around. And that's why I was kind disappointing to finish, because I was like, man, you made Julius look like a star. But then he's the one who took the pin that took the pinfall loss. So um wasn't It wasn't a great fan of the Fish, but the match itself was fine and really fun to watch. And um Like, I'm a huge fan of the Crane, but I'm just not gonna pick them anytime soon. Welcome MAT's how I feel about Wesley. Um, I just completely whiff on all that. Next matches Triffany Strat Tiffany Stratton defeating and liar Lyler Valka VALKILLERI jeez, I can't even say this one. Tiffany Stratton defeating Lyra Valkyrie in the tournament final to win the Vaca Anexy Women's Championship. We both had Tiffany Stratton. The crowd seemed really into this match and or Tiffany.

25:08 I thought the match was fine and while the Tiffany Stretton character is definitely there. The in ring work is still a step or two behind. If she could put that all together, she'll be a force in WWE for some time. It kind of reminds me of how Jade Cargill has been in AW where you can see the potential but the in ring work is just not there yet, your thoughts ought to try. Yeah, it's it's one of those things. So I mean, this is the w blueprint. Now, it's the Charlotte Flair, It's the Mandy Roadside blueprint for Tiffany Stretton. They love their beautiful blonde bombshells. Like, I thought the match was okay, but this goes to show that Tiffany needs a good dance partner. Like you go back and watch that match with Rock Samperez and she looks fantastic, and Lyra's maybe a step below where Rock sands at and you can see it in the match.

25:56 Plus like a couple those spots. I just like, I don't think they're done it before, and it just looked like they've never done it before. But I think the choice of putting the title on Tiffany makes the most sense because she's the most likely person to be booed by the fans at some point. Just you know, they like if if they could start a new BFFs, Like, I'd be on board with it. Yeah. You were a couple of people with who was that summer Ray and Sasha Banks? Right the summer Sasha and then Charlish right yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a great early NXT on Dodoy Network group. Um yeah, they got to do something. And did you did you watch Tuesday's NXC No?

26:37 I had to work, so yeah that sucks the working thing. You know, you gotta pay the bills. Tiffany Stratton's promo not good. I yeah, and in ring live promos have not been great. Behind the scenes interviews with Mackenzie Mitchell or Vignette very good. The in Rings it's almost like she's lost track of like what she's supposed to say at times, Like it's these weird breaks in between. It's it's the Jade Cargill effect for me. In doctory, It's like, you know, this girl could be a star. It's just she's got to put it all together here soon. I mean she's been she's only been in the business less than what two years? And and I don't know who teaches promo class in WW but we don't have a Dusty Rhodes there anymore, no, you know, like that was I mean.

27:25 And some people are just naturally gifted and talented and some people they really have to work at it. And I think she I think when and I've knows in her live promos like she tends to focus on one subject line that she knows she has a nail, but she will say it like three or four times and it just like, yeah, we get the point, and Jade does kind of the same thing, you know, and then when once that point gets out there, they go all right, now what you know, it just kind of comes off like they're like deer in headlights. But then again, she's she's a blonde, so maybe she just forgets her lines. I don't know. And finally the main event, Carmel Hayes defeats Broun Breaker just retain the NXC Championship. We both Carmelo Hayes good back and forth physical match. Carmelo need this win. It continues show he is for real as the NXC champion. Be interest to see what's next for braun Breaker Doctor Trey Carmela defeats Braun. M Yeah, I'm trying to figure out who's the free agent that they can bring down. I don't know. I mean Braun and Dragon off. I think that'd be fun, I'd be interesting. I don't know. It is is kind of one of those things where like where do you go with him? Do you decide to move him to the main roster heading in the SummerSlam and they can be kind of an attraction like debuting, or do you keep him an exc longer. I think he's proven that he can be a heel and a baby face. It's just where do they see him as a good fit going forward? Because you land him on on Monday, I mean you land him on SmackDown. You know, now, this is the guy that can physically match up with Roman. If you decide to go that way, you put him on Raw, he can physically match up with Gunther for the Innerconhel title. Like, you can go either way with him, just depends on what's the best fit. Or you can leave

28:57 him an exte for more seasoning as a heel and then try to, you know, rebuild him back up to be another threat. Because now he's owing two against Carmelo, did we interest in what happens with Braun next because because I don't know, because that's always the weird thing about NXC. These former champions. They reach a point where they have the final match for the title, they lose, and then it's like, well, did they get called up? Does he go raw or SmackDown? They just had the draft? Does he say an NXC? If he does, what do you do with him? So interesting times for Braun. Carmelo has somebody that wants to vie for his NXC championship, Dot Trey. As the close of NXC television. Since you did not watch, I will fill you in, and I think you're sitting down to hear this. But Baron Corban made his NXC to return the free agent and he took out Carmelo Hayes to close out this week's edition of NXC Television. After Carmelo retained against no Am Daring the main event, Baron Corban Carmelo Hayes. I guess I could get down with that. Now you're going to fill me in. Now is this happy urban Baron Corban or a lone wolf Baron Corbin? It it looks like it's just Baron Corbin.

30:07 I guess, no gimmicks, No gimmicks, Baron Corbin, no gimmicks. Yeah, there's your Chris Candido reference. I make it full. Yeah, you know I I do. I don't mind the Baron Corbin moved down because he kind of needs to get out of the main It's kind of the same thing with the Lias, Like he's been buried and beating so much on the main roster. Like, hey, maybe get him out of sight, out of mind for a while, try something different, whatever it is. Uh, just don't make Baron have a brother that we didn't know about. That's a twin. I'll be fine with that as well. Um, it's it's and we've seen it work a little bit for Apollo. We've seen it work in the past with you know, Cesarro and uh t or Tyson kid Like we've seen these work. You know, we saw with Finn Balor. It worked with Finn. So it's a chance to kind of get out of the eye. Get he said, because in a lossie, Baron Corbyn's one of the best heels in professional wrestling. It's just that right now he's kind of missed where nobody takes him seriously as a credible threat. To win a match, and somehow you have to change that narrative in order for him to be successful again. I went four and two, Doctor went Frame three coming out of a forty seven and seventeen tray forty two and twenty two Match of the Night event rating. I gave NXC Battleground a three point five. My match to night was Wesley Tyler, Bate, Joe Gacy, Doctor Trey, What say you? I was three point six. My match to night was Gallus and the Creed Brothers. Because that Julius Creed, I I'm sold on him

31:38 like that Dud's gonna be sorry. And I told you man, I know, and I like Bruce. My only issue Bruce is he needs a facial hair because he looks like he's an overgrown thirteen year old bold ring. Sure he does. He does from like Ohio or Iowa or something. Maybe they are from Iowa, I don't know. And then finally, aw dolla or nothing. Recap and review this past sign from the T Mobile Arena and Nevada. I guess before we get into this dive of Trey lots stuff going on social media. We mentioned this a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about all In in the UK. I was perplexed because all in the UK was selling Gangbusters sixty five thousand tickets have been sold at this point, and then Doublore Nothing was having a really tough time with their ticket sales, like it was like six hundred and sixty in a three week span that were like sold by Brandon Thurston of Russell Nomics. And then you saw the pictures online.

32:32 I don't know if you saw them do Trey, but lots of empty seats just really disappointing to see because you know, we want aw to thrive, but that was not a good look at all, and I do believe it's reflective of what they've been put on their television over the last three months. Well, it's also Vegas. I mean in Vegas one of the hardest cities of drawing because you have so much competition. I mean you got to think about I mean WW backed out of the Allegiant Building Stadium. Yeah with the Raiders play. You know, to me, I think you can put Vegas in Miami in the same category when it comes to professional wrestling, where it's like, yeah, if it's the only thing going on in town that night, it'll do a good crowd, but it's Italy. The crowds just aren't into it. They're not that they're just kind of passive, you know, Los Angeles and we do like the Staples Centers occasionally. He's kind of like that too. Some of these like tourist attraction towns don't really draw well.

33:30 You need kind of those blue collar kind of cities for the crowds to really get behind him. So I put I put some the blame, as you know once again, and the T Mobile Center they help our mouths. And you're going to tell me the T Mobile Center can only draw six and sixty people, like there's some other things going on there, But I really think it's just Vegas on a Memorial Day weekend more than anything else. Just to be clear, it wasn't six hundred and sixty people in attendance oh sold you know, yeah, over like a three week span. It was very very small numbers. First match, you were somebody buying the hard He's in Hook defeat Ethan Page and the Guns in a six man tag team match. Would the win Matt Hardy owns Ethan Page's contract. We both had the Hardies in Hook solid opener and start the show. They will be forever one of the best, but you can start to see that time is catching him to the hardies. Unfortunately, Doctor try Yeah, so does this mean that Ethan Page is in an indentured servants Like, I don't really know what a good guy owns the bad guy's contract. I don't really know what they're gonna have him do. Is he gonna be like put him in the French made out but the hardy compound? I don't know. They didn't follow up it on Wednesday's Dynamite. I guess maybe Friday's rampage, which was unfortunate. Yeah, shocking. They don't follow up on that, but they'll put Hook in the rain to get beat up by the embassy, to have Jungle Boy make the say, hey, you got to reunite Junkle hook Man. Next match, just Orange Cassidy to retain the aw International Championship and a twenty one man Blackjack Battle Royal. I had Orange Cassidy on last week's show. We went back and forth. I was like, I think Powerhouse Hobbs is in it.

34:57 He wasn't, so I did give Doctor the field. Nonetheless, Orange Cassidy did retain. Battle Royals can sometimes be very formula lake and unoriginal, but I felt like this Battle Royal was not that, and I really enjoyed the finishing minutes with Sweve Strickling and Orange Cassidy. Orange Cassidy remains one of the best champions in all of russ In Right now, Dot, trade your thoughts on the twenty one man Blackshack Battle Royal. By the way, I love swerves look with kind of the cross of being a rapper and then also being embassy. Look like it's like he's a terrorist hip hop star. I love that look for some reason. Yeah, I mean for a Battle Royal. I enjoyed it. I love the finish. The finish, the little half kick to take Swerve out was great. So it's just to me, I'm looking at going like we you have to build like Swerve. Is Swerve really like the only credible challenger right now for the international title? Like I love Orange Cassidy, I love the run, but you've got to learn to build the next level of challengers. I don't think they really do that very well.

35:58 For the undercards to speak, I think actually Swerve could be the guy that stops the rain. Dot try they're facing off at Wednesday's Dynamite. I'm a fan of Swerve right now. I've enjoyed his run as of late. Yeah, I agree, Like, if you're going to pull the trigger, now's the time. Um. Plus, apparently we're just gonna start by the way, you go back to a jungle hook. Why we can't do hook boys, hook boys? Hook hooker boys? Maybe hooker boys? Yeah? Tweet Tony con that against the gass Boys the hooker Boys. Adam Cole defeats Chris Jericho in an unsanctioned match with Sabo is the special guest enforcer with both at Adam Cole, I felt like this match was a little bit underwhelming and disappointing at some good moments, but overall felt like it missed the mark since there were high helps for the match and it felt like the crowd lost interest as the match went on. To have no idea why Sabo was even announced for this match, because he was in it for like less than five minutes and then wasn't a special guest enforcer. Very strange, but Adam Cole got the victory Dutch tray, he went through a table, he did, he did, God bless him. So that's all the like Tony Goil everything, Tony con said, Hey, we'll pay you some money to go through a table. I don't know how I feel about this match because I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, and then I don't know. I almost feel bad for Chris Jericho right now because it just seems like he's in I'm gonna help, which is not a bad thing. We've talked about Jericho being in women one of the ultimate soldiers in professional wrestling, Like he's like right now, he's just trying to help get everybody else over. But I feel

37:29 like he's so far down the food chains, like a credible world title challenger. I still think you need him upper of the card and still stealing wins to help keep that just in case you need to pull that trigger again. So like, I'm happy with the match, and Adam Cole needs it because he's just he's back in dude, I just kind of feel bad for Jericho. Yeah, Well, I don't know. I don't know how you can feel bad for Jericho sometimes, man. I mean he's there to put over guys, right yeah, and that's he's done that for the last you know, five years, six years, not just this AUW time, but even at the end of his WW run, he was guying there just to help put guys over, So that's kind of his job now at this point, though, I know, I think he takes pride in it. I think he takes pride. I do. I agree. I guess you're right.

38:12 I don't know if I feel sorry for him. I just I love when the Jericho characters at the top of the card. Although this was a great featured match, I like when Jericho's in the title picture just because he's so much fun to watch and so much fun to listen to. FTR defeats Jeff Jarret and Jay Lethal to retain the end of a AW World Tag Team Champion, with Mark Briscoes a specially guest referee. Both at FTR solid match. I enjoyed the dynamical Mark brisco Is the referee, and I enjoyed it. I did enjoy how this feud played out. It was good stuff. FTR retains Yeah, and any Like we said earlier, it's hard to believe that the two guys challenging for this match were the two guys fighting Rick Flair his last match. Yeah, it's just it's like, Wow, that's really kind of how we've come through this so far. But I enjoyed it, and you know, like we talked about last week's show, like Jeff Jarret's damn near national track meleasure to be as old as he is and still perform at that lovely was tastic. You know, like, I really don't think with these four guys and then Adam Mark Bresco, you can really have a bad match because there's ultimate professionals when it comes to they're wrestling. Wardlow defeats Christian Cage in a ladder match retain AWT and T Championship with Christian create Cage g in the victory. Good match, Swanton bomb table spot was insane. Arn Anderson biting Luca's source's thumb was bad. Strange trend at this point with outside interference and influence in several double or nothing matches. We saw interference in Adam Cole and Chris Jericho FTR and Jeff Jarrett, and then they did it again with Wardlow and Christian Cage doctor Trey what aw using outside interference and matches No,

39:46 Like, look, there are times I feel like I'm watching WCW at the end of their run like there's some stuff going on where my guys, you just did outside interference three matches in a row and we haven't even talked about the main of it yet. So is It's like, can't we just like these the fans always talk about they want clean finishes, they want wrestling, and they want true victors, and yet we have all of these outside interference run in spots to make everybody still look strong and nobody loses cleanly. But it's super indie wrestling at times. Speaking of which, Tony Storm defeats Jamie Hayder to win the AWE Women's World Championship. We both had Tony Storm not a great match, lots of again outside interference and influence. Again, felt like this was booked to right Jamie Hayder off due to her injury.

40:31 If so, props to Jamie if you're getting it out despite battling her. Tony Storm is the new aw Women's World Champion. Doctor try yeah, and maybe the least known person in the outcasts. It's like, really, okay, I mean, if you ask the casual, if you put I think it would be Ruby soho. I gotta be honest. I think she had more main time on WWE. So and if you ask, just if you put the pictures out of the Stormers age, that's Ruby Riot, that's Tony's fair fair fair yep, I would look h to me this This should have been a Sorea spot, like if you're trying to set things up because you know we'll get into another match later, Like, I like, is she to the challenger? Is because Baker looks like she's tied up with Sorea?

41:16 Like is she to the next challenger for Tony Storm? Like? Is that where we're going? And if so, haven't we kind of already seen Sheta in this title picture? And is Rio missing? Do we need to put out like a milk carton for her? Like? Where at the hell is Rio? She's been that way since the pandemic. Yeah, it's like she's here for a little bit, She's not. House of Black defeat The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn in a open house rules match or retained the aw Trio's championship. We did not put through this match as it was not announced when we recorded. Match started slow but picked up towards the middle fun match. The open house rules match presentation is really simple but great visually. House of Black retained actor try. Yeah. I was confused at first when they said House of Black ants and open house rules, I was like, are they are they selling? Their house? Is the House of Black up for sale?

42:01 And if you ever been to an open house, they usually have snacks and there was no snacks but fun match and the entire time all I can think about is Buddy Murphy data Alexa Bliss, and now he's dating Rhea Ripley, Like apparently that man has no type because those are total opposite ends of the spectrum. But kudos to Buddy and Murphy for his love life as well. Jade Cargill defeats Tie of Valka retain the to retain the awtb's Championship. We both had Jade Cargill matches a bit of a cluster. If Jay can put it together, she would be one of the biggest women wrestling stars in the game today. It does feel like she may have plateaued in ring wise though Dutch trade. Jade Cargill retained in mismatch. Yeah, Like, if she can ever put together, she'd be the African American trailer flair, Like she has all the athleticism to look at the charisma everything. If she can ever just put it together, it'd be great. Just once again. This kind of it kind of felt like crappy for Tia because it's the Athena, it's the Ruby, soho. It's like, you get these big stars to come in to help la a j but then what do you do with him after?

43:07 And I don't know about you. I was totally confused by taias staring at the TV on Dynamite. It was totally confused. She's mad at the person who wins the next match. I want to get right into it. Yeah, go right into it. Chris stat Landard feats Jade Cargill to win the AWTBS Championship. We did not predict that. Obviously, nice surprise to see Chris stat Lander back from injury, but even sweeter to see her defeat Jade Cargill to win the AWTVS Championship in a imprompt to match. Stan leanderd has gone through a lot the last two years with multiple torn ACL injuries, and it's nice to see her get some gold in a return as she deserves that. This also protects Jade Carter Giles, she finally lost in an imprompt two match rather than it was booked in advance, and I thought the streak was a little bit stale because I just felt like fans didn't believe in it.

43:50 Chris stat Lanard is the new TBS champion Dodger Try. Yeah, totally happy for Chris dat Lander. Like, I thought it was a good move because that helped elevate another young talent that is similar to Jade and Tia and build an athleticism. I do miss the alien gimmick full disclosure. I like the booping, but like you said, it's say it spares Jade, it elevates stat Lander, and then, like I said, like Tie is mad because she lost, but the next person one, Like you're making Tie a heel out of this, Like that part of I think the probably the storyline is that Tie a soft and drop for Christallander. Right, yeah, but then you're automatically turning a brand new person heel because of her losing. Like it's like you haven't the crowd Like if if you turn her, the crowd doesn't care because they haven't had time to invest in her one lay or the other. So that's why I don't like that angle going forward, because you're going to turn her and you're not going to get a reaction out of it.

44:54 I do you feel like tie is a much better heel than a much better heal in a baby face? Yes? I agree. Next match here is MJF defeating Sama Cavara, Darby Allen, and jungle Boy Jack Perry in a four way match to retain the AW World Championship with both at MJF. Really good fatal four away match. Loved a lot of spots in this match, from all three guys team up early on to take out MJF, to the tribute to the mentors, to Jungle Boy toying with using the AW World Championship as a weapon to the finish that made so much sense with mjf's character with the belt on top of jungle Boy, the when Darby was doing the Cascad drop and then doing the head lock takeover a nice callback to their feud.

45:37 Fun and entertaining match, Doctor Trey, what say you as MJF retains and best entrance of the weekend. Like out of all the shows, I thought MGF had the best entrance. I love the throne, the mask, the people, I loved all that stuff. Match was really really good, But then you leave the question. Now, MJF just beat the other three pillars? What does that mean for the other three pillars? And we saw a little little bit with you know, Jungle Boy and Hook, we saw a little bit with Derby and Staying and Orne Cassidy. So we just gotta figure out what they're doing. Is Sammy next? It's just once again, have you built anybody up to be the next challenger? Like you have to have a plan of succession in line when it comes to building folks. So maybe it's Sammy, you know, maybe they count they circle back to it.

46:22 But uh, it's great for MJF. It's great for the MJF character. Storytelling was fantastic, But once again, who's next in line? You have to have that kind of thing in mindset and they didn't pay it off on Dynamite, their biggest show of the week. To answer your next in line question, I think it's Adam Cole. The reports out that there was a segment last week on Dynamite between Britt Breaker and MJF that was pre taped that was going to lead towards the seeds being planted for that and they trashed at that point. Um. I think Adam Cole's next in line, and then I think the enter question of this is or the I guess a statement more more or less here is. I felt like Sammy LaVar came out of a feed as a star doctor Trey, like he became a baby face again, like and he was very hateable. Like the baby announcement kind of wrapped up. I'm like, dude, Sammy, is Sammy with JS anymore?

47:16 Because fans are down with Sammy var again? Yeah, I think in Sammy's one of and I don't know if you agree to Sammy maybe one of the most polarizing people in professional wrestling. Like you either love Sammy or you hate Sammy. There's no middle ground. But as one who was a reviled heel that proposed to his girlfriend in the ring in front of a live audience and the crowd ate it up and kind of turned me baby face for about two weeks. People love happy endings, people love happy news, and it's kind of hard to boo the guy where they come out announced that they're having a baby together. So just thinking about this, in eighteen years, you could have the Tai Conti child battled, the Alexa Bliss child. Oh, stay tuned, Stay tuned for more next match here. This is the main event in Blackpool. Combat Club defeats the Elite and the Anarchy in the arena match.

48:13 We both at the Elite and victory. Fun match. Love the music playing throughout. I did like Takeshka turning down the Elite and then how about Wheeler you to getting the pin on Kenny Omega and then he followed it up on Wednesday's Dynamite as well. But big for Wheeler Utah to get the pin on Kenny like that was insane. Doctor trade your thoughts outside interference? Oh of course, uh some shenanigans involved. I love. So this reminds me a little bit of Paul Hayman when they gave him right back and they gave him Curtis Curtis Axel back in the day, Like, Hey, we have these guys that we think we go. We just know they need a mouthpiece, you know. And so the pairing of of Don kalis in Takushida can't pronounce his name, that's my liar to Keshka. I love the pairing because ta Kesha's English isn't fantastic, so having and I mean seriously, Don Callis's heat that he got on Wednesday night. It was the most heat I've seen a manager get since the nineties, Like I have never seen a manager get booed that hard and forever. So I loved it, as you know, a lifelong fan of wrestling managers. So and then you too, getting the winds great for him in his career because he can always hold that up and then they can always circle back to at some point like it's let's say keny Omega at some point against the world title, hey Udo can always bring up the fact he pinned him. He deserves the title shot. So I love that it gives that young man some some ammunition down the road when he needs

49:44 to use it. And then pay per view prediction records I went seven and two, Dot Tree went six and three, closing out the entire weekend, I went fifty four and nineteen. Doctor Trey went forty eight and twenty five. For the year, Match of the Night and event rating, I gave double or nothing any three point six and I gave MJF Samon Cavar At, Darby Allan and Jungle Boy in my Match of the night doubt to try. I was at a three point seven once again, like one of my things on papers, I need a moment where it is memorable that I'm going to remember for five or ten years. I don't think we got that, really. But I also went with the four Pillar match mainly because I loved and Jf's entrance, and I really thought that, like you said, they paid homage to their mentors. You know, you tease a Jungle Boy heel turn if they go that route. At some point, if Jungle Boy turns on hook, I might pop for that, I will say, I will say that, so that'd be kind of cool. I thought that was coming.

50:38 I really did. And I also thought the Acclaim was going to turn on Daddy ass on Dynamite this past week. That was the second worst promo behind the Tiffany Strand thing, apparently because that Acclaimed believe it made no sense, Like what was the point of this? Yeah, it was like, what is this leading in? Something? Like? It was bizarre, very bizarre, all right, doctor. The big news outside of everything that took place this past week is America's Professional wrestling in America's Nightmare is over as aw Tony Kahn has announced the return of cmpunk to all Elite wrestling will be taking place on Saturday Night Collision June seventeenth from the United c that are in Chicago, Illinois. The back and forth of Willie Ever Wrestle again, the issues with AW buying the scenes, the Instagram post story, NDA's the brawlout, suspensions, torn triceps, John Moxley being mad. It's over essentially until he gets buying the scenes and maybe another brawl out happens. But we have heard for the first time since September twenty twenty two, Cmpunk's name uttered another. There's been other times, but I guess for actual stakes in the game. See him Punk uttered on AW television and returning to the ring acknowledgement from the announcers, your thoughts see him Punk is back, by the way, So when

52:13 you saw it when they went to the live announced table after they made the announcement, I think Tony Shivanni hate see him Punk, Like he looked disgusted, almost like he's sold it, like excuse me, Like he sold it like he was like, hey, it's great news. It's the greatest night in the history of our business. But you can just see him almost like rolling his eyes. Well, I was like, it'll be interesting how he comes back as he baby face or heel. I also thought it was very awkward the way that Tony Conn did it. Who is just Lord love him, but he's just very awkward on television. He reminds me of like the kid who has to give a book report and does not like standing in front of the classroom. Oh it's terrible pretapes like where's the guy that was on Impact Wrestling in twenty twenty? Oh yeah, I mean, but then again, like it's easy to be a heel, it's hard to be likable, that's true, But then again, is this not one of the most anti climactic big news type thing Like I don't really like to have the big announcement that we're having collision and then was it a week later, two weeks later, I don't know the exact timeline, but to have a pre taped announcement during the middle of Dynamites that hey, we're just happy to announce that CM punk will be a collisions, Like, man, you could have made that way grander And maybe it's their way of kind of test and still poking CM Punk And I don't know about you. That crowd was split. It was they said it was sixty forty. I read online that a lot of fans and attendance were like sixty forty in favor of Punk, and you gotta figure

53:45 that's gonna be that way and unless it's Chicago, and then like, what does this do to the Dynamite ratings? I mean, because they still have not announced if it's a brand split or we're going to have people on bullshow, like what we're gonna do? Like if that CM Punk show, are the punk fans gonna not watch Dynamite out of loyalty to punk and vice versa? Like is that actual? Actually don't doubt that. I don't think it's as cultish as it was, like you know, two three years ago when he was coming back, and you know, cultish when he was away from wrestling all this time. I think I think the majority of fans don't side with what he did, right Like you and I are big sampunk stands, and I don't agree with what he did during that press comment. So I think you don't air that dirty laundry out following all out like that. Yeah, no, that I agree with, But then again, I still like I still hold to that my blame for that whole situation is don't be gone agree agree, But Sony just stood there like a goof and just making a happy face and nodding his head in agreement. So yeah, I don't think he what he did was the right thing to do. But like it, you know, like you just said, if the crowd, if the live crowd and a neutral city is split, sixty forty, Now Chicago crowd is gonna be like all about it. But you know if if a live crowd in neutral city sixty forty are like, what are the fans at home?

55:13 Like are they sixty forty? And some people may not watch it just because they dislike everything that happens. So I don't know they need him back, like it's clear his day they need him. But like I hate to say that, but it's the truth. Like AW television has not been great like double or nothing was. It was a solid show, but it was disappointing on the AW standards. Yeah, you expect a lot more excitement, a lot more buzz, a lot better in ringwork. The multiple like outside interferences was laughable throughout the show. It's just creatively there's been something missing from AW for a long time, and I think having seen him punk back. There is gonna help at least that's my hope. Yeah. I just look at like to have that announcement at that point of the show, and the way it was done, it was weird. It was and it's so like an can't do a Yeah, you can't do a vignette. No. He comes out to the ring for every other big news event he does, but he does a pre tape on this. He's been doing the pre tapes lately though he's a busy man. He's trying to move the job wards. I just think that they know that it's really strange when he gets on the screen, like did you see his announcement about the owen Hart Cup, like and them going to Canada? No, I missed that one, dear God. Like so when he announced the dates and I don't know if it was for Collision or the owen Hart Cup or mixture of both. I don't remember, but he said Regina, which is a city in Canada, and you could hear

56:45 the crowd laughing, like I don't There was just like emphasis on him saying Regina, Like it was like, dude, Like I like Tony con I appreciate everything he's done. With aw dude talk work like the hugs, his delivery on stuff. I feel like he hit like fifteen and then that was it, Like he stopped at fifteen in his life, like the age of fifteen, like over emphasizing red giants like it's a funny word, you know, and then just that awkward smile like I'll tell you right now if if I opened up my window and that face was smiling at me I when I'm calling the cops, Like it's just kind of a creepy, odd look he presents. And as much as we used to hate on Vince, like when Vince was on TV, it was compelling television, whether it going back to his announcing days or the mister McMahon character or any other iteration of him, Like I don't know if there's anybody else that's been in a leadership role.

57:43 And this goes back to the beginning. Remember in the beginning, they didn't want Tony on TV at all. Oh rightfully so, and Tony's on TV every week now, so it's kind of like again that delivery, and it's like and at the debut episode, will be see him punk like you almost if you blink you miss it it's like, wait, you say punk and then they cut to the crowd like you can't even have a bill towards that and joining us for his return to the company at AW Collision in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois, is the former two time AW World champion c M Punk. Like, really, you just like and it's gonna be Cempunk. Maybe it's a maybe it's a fake cmpunk. Maybe he's learning from the vince Rest. Yeah, it could be see him Hunk, see him monk dunk.

58:31 Oh god, if I don't see an indie show guy, do c M Monk and he actually comes out like Friar Tuck with a straight edged with a straight edge of fist, wrist tapes and stuff. Oh my god, that's gonna be. That's if I can get that somebody to do that gimmick. I think I could actually retire happy. I mean I did. I did get a gimmick called the blue Waffle over at his shows. Stay tuned, folks, stay tuned. U. That will do it. For this week's session, the podcast A lots to talking about and Punk on the upcoming editions of the pod. I am sure.
